Chapter 694 Go ahead, man!
"Hello? Where are you?! My parents have been sitting in the box for half an hour. I don't dare to call you, but you didn't reply when I sent you a message!"
At the door of the box, although Luo Wei lowered her voice, her tone could not hide her anger and anxiety.
This is the most important moment, why would Zhong Jincheng fail at this time!
There was no talk on the other end of the line, but the breathing sounded heavy. Luo Wei could tell something was wrong. She frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you? What are you doing?"
"Wait... wait a little longer... I can't contact my dad right now, I'll go find him... I will... I will definitely bring him here, I promise."
"Why are you panting so hard?"
"Don't worry about it, just help me hold your parents back..."
The shrill sound of car horns rang out one after another. Zhong Jincheng stood on the side of the road, bent over and gasping for breath. He raised his hand to stop a taxi coming from a distance, but the taxi ignored him and passed by him directly.
Zhong Jincheng looked back, cursed, and continued to quicken his pace, running along the side of the road.
The cell phone rang again. Zhong Jincheng looked at the caller ID and put the phone directly to his ear without slowing down his pace at all.
"Hey, what's going on, bro? How's the progress of the communication between the two parents?"
It was Lu Yuanqiu's voice, and next to it could be heard the faint sound of Bai Qingxia reading a post on the forum.
Zhong Jincheng responded as he ran: "What a joke. I told my dad to wait for me at home yesterday. I had something important to tell him. He agreed, but he disappeared when I got home! Now Luo Wei's parents have been waiting for me at the hotel for half an hour!"
Lu Yuanqiu's face changed slightly, and he said quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingxia also leaned closer to listen.
Lu Yuanqiu: "So what are you going to do now?"
"I must find my dad first! But I don't even know where he is, and I can't get through to him on the phone!"
Zhong Jincheng's voice revealed real anxiety. Lu Yuanqiu could understand his mood at the moment. They had known each other for ten years. Lu Yuanqiu knew that today might be the most critical moment in Zhong Jincheng's life.
"Do you have the contact information of your father's friend? Call and ask?"
"No!"
"What was his state when he answered the phone yesterday?"
"He seems... a little drunk. Damn, he's probably lying somewhere and hasn't woken up yet!"
As Zhong Jincheng spoke, his steps became slower and slower. He finally sighed lightly and stopped where he was. He held the phone stiffly in his right hand, looking ahead with a confused look in his eyes.
What’s the point of running as fast as you can if you don’t know where your father is?
I vaguely remember that this situation seemed to have happened a long time ago, when he was not even as tall as a stool, the man's irresponsible behavior was already fully demonstrated.
"Lu Yuanqiu, I am such a failure..."
Zhong Jincheng's lost voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia looked at each other, both with complicated expressions. Lu Yuanqiu sat up a little straighter, and Bai Qingxia followed his movements. Lu Yuanqiu said into the phone, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are not at the end of our rope yet."
Zhong Jincheng shook his head: "No, I finally met someone who likes me, and I finally took on responsibilities that I didn't dare to think about before, but at the most critical moment..."
Before he could finish his words, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky. Zhong Jincheng looked up while holding the phone and laughed angrily: "Fuck, it's raining. What the hell is this drama where even God is crying for me!"
"Don't you check the weather forecast before you go out? My sister said it's going to rain in Lucheng today." Lu Yuanqiu laughed bitterly at Zhong Jincheng's complaints.
Bai Qingxia's tentative voice came from the side: "If... you can't find your father, can you find your mother?"
Lu Yuanqiu and the girl looked at each other and explained in a low voice: "His mother hasn't contacted him for a long time, so there must be..."
"Two years." Zhong Jincheng replied, his tone suddenly becoming very low: "The last time we contacted was when I was admitted to Zhuda University. She called me and praised me a few words. At that time, we had nothing to talk about except studying."
Bai Qingxia drooped her shoulders as if in frustration. She and her mother hadn't spoken to each other for 14 years, but if they could meet, she felt that she and her mother would still have endless topics to talk about for three days and three nights.
She hasn't had a normal chat with her parents for a long time.
Lu Yuanqiu thought about it and immediately made a decision: "Zhong Jincheng, go find your mother. You know where she lives now, right?"
"I know." Zhong Jincheng's voice was extremely low.
He didn't say "but", but Lu Yuanqiu knew that if it were in the past, Zhong Jincheng would definitely add a "but" at the end.
"Go ahead, man."
"beep--"
Zhong Jincheng hung up the phone.
Lu Yuanqiu put down his phone, sighed, pulled Bai Qingxia's arm, put his forehead against Bai Qingxia's warm forehead, and rubbed it left and right.
Bai Qingxia narrowed her eyes and responded to his actions.
Zhong Jincheng was running in the rain. His mother lived in a nearby community.
Obviously she is his biological mother, and obviously he wants a word of concern from her, but he still manages to get along with her like a stranger for several years. A simple greeting is harder for him than climbing to the sky.
His mother was the same. She hardly contacted him. There might be various reasons for this, but after Zhong Jincheng entered junior high school, he was too lazy to make excuses for his mother.
He entered the gate of the community all wet and muddy, walked into the middle unit of the building with a clear purpose, and pressed the elevator.
Zhong Jincheng took a few seconds to rub his hair that was wet by the rain. Looking at the reflective elevator door, he lowered his head silently again.
The elevator door opened, the boy went in, pressed the 15th floor button, and stood in the corner of the elevator, water still dripping from the corner of his clothes.
The moment he walked out of the elevator, he swallowed and walked straight towards a door. He was still swallowing as he raised his hand and his fingers mechanically pressed the doorbell twice.
Hearing the sound of a door opening, Zhong Jincheng took two steps back.
The last time we contacted was two years ago, but the last time we met was four years ago.
Fortunately, it was the woman who opened the door.
This was a woman with fair skin and a gentle and pretty face. Her temperament was a little bit similar to Luo Wei. The woman was wearing a scarf and was looking at the wet boy at the door curiously. It took her a few seconds to recognize him and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Xiao Cheng? What's wrong with you?" the woman asked in confusion.
"Mom! My sister stole my cake again!" A boy's voice came from the living room at the back. The boy was running around the room. At this time, he noticed the scene at the door and asked loudly, "Who is it?"
The house smelled sweet. Zhong Jincheng raised his eyes from under his wet hair and glanced inside. It was his younger brother, whom he had only met once. He looked so unfamiliar and had grown so fast.
younger sister?
It turned out that my mother gave birth to a second child in this family.
