The little girl took the money and turned away.
Chen Yuncheng looked at her thin back, sighed after a long time, took out her mobile phone and called Guan Anlin.
Guan Anlin recently found a job in a car repair shop. When Chen Yuncheng called him, he was busy and asked Chen Yuncheng to come over for lunch.
Chen Yuncheng went to the car repair shop where Guan Anlin worked and asked where Guan Anlin, a small worker at the door who was cleaning the car, was. The worker pointed to a black car inside.
Under the car lay a man working, with only one leg sticking out from under the car.
Chen Yuncheng walked over and kicked the leg that stretched out from under the car, and soon saw Guan Anlin slipping out from the bottom of the car, holding a wrench full of oil in his hand.
Guan Anlin was wearing the orange-yellow work uniform of a car repair shop, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Chen Yuncheng and said, "Two minutes." Then he got in again.
Chen Yuncheng finally waited for nearly fifteen minutes. Guan Anlin took off his uniform jacket and put on his own black cotton-padded jacket with orange work pants underneath, and went to lunch nearby with Chen Yuncheng.
Guan Anlin's hair was a bit longer than when he was first released from prison, but it was still short, and he could see his blue scalp.
Chen Yuncheng looked at his hair and suddenly remembered that he had been thinking about cutting his hair for a long time. He thought that if he cut short hair like Guan Anlin, Ning Junyan would not be able to grab his hair and kiss him like last night. .
Guan Anlin handed him the bowl and chopsticks and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Yuncheng shook his head, "How is your work?"
"That's it," Guan Anlin said. "Otherwise, if you go to take out, you can't starve to death."
Chen Yuncheng asked, "What about the Chinese New Year? What are your plans?"
Guan Anlin stared at the table in a daze. He ordered three dishes. Now is the best time for business at noon. Not a single dish was brought up to them. He said, "I have ten days off, and I want to go home."
Unlike Chen Yuncheng, Guan Anlin has a family. He has parents in his home village and a sister who is in high school.
"I have a friend who opened a shop in the new trading market in the north of the city, and he wholesales tobacco, alcohol and beverages. He asked me to help him manage the shop. Are you interested, come back after the new year and do it with me?" Chen Yuncheng asked .
Guan Anlin looked at him, "Look at the store?"
Chen Yuncheng said: "It may be necessary to deliver goods to customers. The specific work arrangement can be discussed."
Guan Anlin did not answer.
Chen Yuncheng said: "No hurry, anyway, the store over there is not well decorated, you can go back for the New Year and think about it slowly."
The dishes they ordered finally came. The two of them sat on the side of the road with a small square table with two dishes and a bowl of soup on it.
Guan Anlin asked the boss to make rice directly.
Holding his rice bowl, he asked Chen Yuncheng, "I told you to come and live with me before, but you didn't plan to come?"
Chen Yuncheng gave a vague "um", "It's alright to live with a friend now."
"What is your friend doing?" Guan Anlin asked.
Chen Yuncheng replied, "Doctor."
Guan Anlin said: "The doctor is so rich now? Did you receive a lot of red envelopes?"
Chen Yuncheng looked up at him, "His family already has money, so don't be hostile to him."
Guan Anlin snorted disdainfully, "How could you know that kind of doctor whose family already has money? I haven't heard you mention it before."
Chen Yuncheng hesitated for a moment and said, "He is the same as Zhou Yan."
Guan Anlin didn't understand, and asked strangely, "What is the same as Zhou Yan?"
Chen Yuncheng said, "How I know Zhou Yan is how I know him."
Guan Anlin was stunned for a while. He heard Chen Yuncheng briefly talk about his childhood experiences. He didn't expect that other than Zhou Yan, other people would experience the same thing as Chen Yuncheng. He subconsciously asked, "Are you kidnapped?"
Chen Yuncheng nodded.
Guan Anlin didn't say anything else. He scooped a spoonful of chicken rice sprouts into the bowl, used chopsticks to make peace, and lowered his head to grab the rice. ."
"What's different?" Chen Yuncheng asked him.
Guan Anlin said: "It's different in your heart, just like Zhou Yan, it's always more important to you."
Chen Yuncheng didn't answer him.
After eating half a bowl of soup, Chen Yuncheng felt a little hot and unbuttoned a few buttons on his neckline.
Guan Anlin put down the bowl and stared at his neck in a daze.
Chen Yuncheng didn't notice it at first until Guan Anlin asked him, "Have you made a girlfriend?"
"What?" Chen Yuncheng was inexplicable.
Guan Anlin pointed at his neck.
Chen Yuncheng raised his hand and touched his neck, but he still didn't understand what Guan Anlin meant.
Guan Anlin said impatiently, "It wasn't a woman gnawing on your neck, could it be a mosquito? Are there still mosquitoes in these two days?"
Chen Yuncheng suddenly remembered Ning Junyan's deep kiss on his neck last night, his face flushed red, and he was at a loss to pull up his collar to cover it, but felt it was too unnatural.
Guan Anlin said, "Why are you blushing? If you have a girlfriend, you will have a girlfriend. You are about the same age."
"No," Chen Yuncheng denied without thinking.
Guan Anlin asked him, "What is that? Are you going to prostitute?"
Chen Yuncheng couldn't explain it to him, he could only say, "No."
Guan Anlin did not continue to ask questions. He took a sip of the soup from the bowl, disliked it a little indifferent, put the bowl down, and said, "I originally wanted to introduce my sister to you."
Chen Yuncheng said, "Are you crazy? How old is your sister!"
Guan Anlin's mood seemed to be a little depressed, "Yeah, it would be better if my sister was older."
After lunch, Guan Anlin rushed to pay the money.
When they separated, Guan Anlin asked Chen Yuncheng, "What are your plans for the New Year?" He knew that Chen Yuncheng had no family.
Chen Yuncheng said, "Let's see."
