Chapter 2365 The call was connected
"The next day, the old woman came knocking on the door early in the morning."

"Give the kid the spring rolls before he goes to work."

"But."

The wrinkles on the old lady's face deepened a little. "Still no one answered the door."

"To this day, the old woman comes and knocks on the door from time to time, hoping to see if she can run into the child."

The old lady shook her head.

"I heard some noise downstairs just now, and when I came up and saw you, I thought the kid was back."

The worry she had felt over the past few days finally relaxed.

结果
But she was disappointed.

"strangeness."

The old lady murmured.

"If the kid really had to leave for a few days, he should have told the old woman when he met her that day."

"At that time, the old woman said she would send him some spring rolls, and he clearly agreed."

Since the child knew that she would send spring rolls the next day, why would she leave without saying goodbye?

That child is not that kind of person.

The child was always polite and considerate.

She had forgotten some things but the child helped her remember them.
"The old lady is a little worried."

The old lady held onto the railing of the stairs, her hands, covered with age spots, tensed a little.

"Did something happen to the child?"

"Is that why you left in such a hurry?"

There was no time to tell her?
"So many days"

The old lady's face was filled with worry.

"The child hasn't come back yet."

".I don't know what happened to the child?"

"Is everything going well?"

The irritability between Xiao Zhu's eyebrows disappeared.

His expression revealed some doubt and solemnity.

Another person who said that Azhe is not in a good state
The flower shop manager. And this old lady.
Is it
Xiao Zhu began to feel a little uneasy.

No way.
What can happen?

That boy is not such a fragile person.
Or is that kid in some trouble?
".Isn't it possible that something really happened..."

Xiao Zhu whispered unconsciously.

My heartbeat quickened because of the bad guess.

He took a deep breath.

do not think other.

He knocked his head.

He shook his head again.

"Don't worry, old man."

Xiao Zhu smiled and comforted the anxious old lady, "Azhe has asked for annual leave from the company."

"He must be traveling."

"Or maybe something happened at home, or he went back to his hometown."

Shan Zhe's hometown is not here.

He went to college here and eventually stayed in this city to work.

"He only has a few days left of his annual leave."

"He will be back then."

Xiao Zhu's words eased the worry on the old man's face a little.

"That's it"

Although this still cannot explain Shan Zhe's behavior of leaving without saying goodbye.

But you can ask this question to Shan Zhe himself when he comes back.

The old lady finally smiled.

"All right."

"Since he hasn't come back, you guys have to leave, and I have to leave too."

"Goodbye."

"If you see Ah Zhe, tell the boy to come and see me."

"The old woman promised to re-wrap the spring rolls for him when the time comes."

"it is good."

Xiao Zhu nodded, "Old man, take care."

Until the old lady disappeared, the remaining people fell into a brief silence.

".What should we do now?"

Xiao Zhu asked while dialing the familiar number on his phone.

He just casually dropped his hand holding the phone by his side without any hope.

The store manager doesn't know either.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiao.

There doesn't seem to be anything they can do...

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.

"us-"

His eyes narrowed.

"Telephone."

The inexplicable words startled Xiao Zhu and the store manager.

what?
"Xiao Zhu, your call is connected."

Xiao Xiao looked at the cell phone in Xiao Zhu's hand hanging by his side.

The words "calling" appeared on the phone screen.

what?
Xiao Zhu still didn't react.

The store manager hastily pointed at the phone in Xiao Zhu's hand.

"Xiao Zhu, phone!"

The store manager spoke very quickly, with a look of anxiety between his brows.

"quick!"

"Mr. Shan answered the phone!"

Huh?! Xiao Zhu finally reacted.

He raised his phone with an exaggerated motion.

As a result, the phone slipped out of his hand.

Just as he opened his eyes wide and tried to rescue his phone in panic, he found that his phone was already firmly held in a hand.

Xiao Xiao handed the phone to Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu didn't have time to say thank you and hurriedly called "Hello" into the phone.

The sound was so loud that it seemed to scare the person on the other side.

"A-Adong?"

"Shan Zhe!"

Xiao Zhu called out his friend's name with both his full name and surname.

His face was a mixture of anger and worry.

"You're finally willing to answer the phone?!"

"Look, how many times have I called you?!"

“How many messages have you sent?!”

"You are really awesome, kid!"

"I didn't even reply!"

After Xiao Zhu's series of bombardments, the scene fell into silence for a moment.

".Azhe?"

Xiao Zhu spoke tentatively.

"Are you listening?"

"are you still there?"

"Azhe?"

"Shan Zhe!"

"Ah, I'm here."

Some flustered boys came over.

"sorry."

"I-"

"never mind."

Xiao Zhu interrupted Shan Zhe.

"I'll settle this with you later."

"Where are you now?"

Xiao Zhu directly asked the question that concerned him most.

"What corner is it in that causes the signal to be cut off?"

“Can’t answer calls or receive messages?”

".I am here"

Shan Zhe reported an unfamiliar place name.

"This is where?"

Xiao Zhu frowned.

It's really a remote place, huh?

He looked at the store manager and Xiao Xiao beside him.

Then he turned on the speakerphone.

“It’s a small town in the south”

Shan Zhe explained.

"Send me the address."

Looking at the location sent by his friend, Xiao Zhu frowned, "Are you really traveling?"

".Azhe?"

Xiao Zhu was puzzled by the other party's long silence.

"No."

A low voice as if whispering to oneself.

"what?"

Xiao Zhu asked.

He didn't hear clearly.

Especially because the hands-free function is on.

The phone is naturally not as close to my ear as before.

"Adong."

"Ok?"

"."

Xiao Zhu was almost getting angry because of Shan Zhe's words of stopping for a long time.

"Say!"

Xiao Zhu urged.

"When did you become so blunt?"

"."

Xiao Zhu rolled his eyes.

He took a deep breath.

"When will you come back?"

Okay, if Shan Zhe doesn’t say anything, he will say it.

"The last day of the annual leave?"

".Can you lend me some money?"

“I have no money coming back.”

Shan Zhe's unnatural voice rang out through the loudspeaker in the stairwell.

Xiao Zhu:.
No money?
No matter how much he thought about it, he really didn't expect to hear such a sentence.

He took a deep breath.

".good."

"How much do you want?"

Xiao Zhu hung up the phone.
