Chapter twenty-eight thoughts
They slept until after nine o'clock in the evening. Kesong woke up first, looked at the time, and then started screaming "ah". Li Zhen was awakened by him. He first looked at the girl with long hair in front of him, and then confirmed that he was not dreaming, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My dad!" Kesong came out of the quilt while looking for shoes on the ground. "My dad must be home now - I'm not at home, I'm too late to go back, I'm dead!"
Li Zhen thought about it and quickly turned on the light.
The room lighted up, and the two couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when they saw the red marks pressed on each other's faces.
Speaking of which... this is the first time they have been in the same room for such a long time, and they have also slept together.
Fortunately, this embarrassment was quickly lost by a series of panic moves. Kesong put on his shoes, Li Zhen also found his coat, hurriedly locked the door, and the two of them set off.
He still walked hand in hand and walked on the dark street. In the distance, a good street light flashed and flashed. Kesong looked around and said softly: "Aren't you afraid of walking here at night?"
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Now, only others are afraid of me!"
Kesong also smiled "super": "That's right...but Li Zhen..." She thought for a while and said, "I don't think you should continue working there. Don't you want to study anymore?"
"I think about it." Li Zhen sighed softly, "But it turns out that I can't find my parents, and I can't see you, and I'm not in the mood to do anything. Now I've finally settled down... I have this plan." He scratched his head again, "But... if I quit my job and study, I will have no money..."
In fact, there is another sentence in his heart—
Kesong, since your father also works in the Special Affairs Office... can you know where my parents are?
That's why he mentioned his work and his parents. He felt guilty in his heart... feeling guilty for his thoughts was like carrying Kesong on his back and doing bad things secretly.
But the girl had already thought of this very quickly. She reached out to rub Li Zhen's face: "I'll go back and ask my dad for you-let him help me inquire, you can bear it first."
Li Zhen nodded with relief: "Yeah. But you..."
"I won't tell him." Kesong said, "If your parents are really okay, let's talk about it."
So Li Zhen kept sending Kesong to the street intersection, watching her get into a taxi before returning home.
While waiting for the car, Kesong stuffed his cell phone into Li Zhen's hand and threatened him - if he didn't answer his phone and was missing... "Let's just wait and see!"
In fact, Li Zhen had already planned to buy a mobile phone - but after paying back the money, he now lives by himself, and knows how difficult it is to worry about a person's food, clothing, housing and transportation... so he missed his parents especially.
However, Kesong told him that his fake ID card... could actually apply for a phone card. Because she knew from her father that the Imperial identity system has not yet covered the mobile phone. This has eliminated a lot of his heart.

Zhang Kesong quietly opened the door - the corridor was pitch black. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so she closed the door and walked towards her room lightly. Halfway through, she suddenly heard a sound from her father's bedroom-
"This is impossible!"
Then he lowered his voice: "Impossible. This matter is not my responsibility."
Oops, he was back - talking on the phone. She could only hope that her father did not open her bedroom door, so she secretly went back to the house, took off her coat and changed into her pajamas, and hid in the quilt.
The voices from outside the room gradually became smaller, and finally a strong sense of sleepiness came... She fell asleep again.
While half asleep and half awake, I was still glad: he really didn't notice me...
But perhaps because of the daytime sleep, I didn't sleep well and woke up quickly. I grabbed the luminous alarm clock on the bedside table and saw it - it was past four in the morning.
She lay down for a while with her eyes closed and decided to get up and find something to eat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, a choking smell of smoke came to my face.
Zhang Chaoyang was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the ashtray on the coffee table was filled with cigarette butts. He heard the sound of the door and turned his head, his eyes full of blood.
Zhang Kesong whispered guiltily: "Dad, are you not sleeping?"
Zhang Chaoyang looked at her for a while and said "um". Then, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Have you gone out during the day?"
"Uh..." Zhang Kesong thought for a while, "Yes. I went out to buy something... um... I met my classmates again. I went... to have dinner together, and then I came back late..."
After saying that, I regretted it... Today was her asking for leave, not Sunday, and she met a classmate who was a ghost.
But Zhang Chaoyang obviously had something to worry about. He just said "hmm" again and did not ask.
Kesong felt relieved, walked to the kitchen, took out a box of milk from the refrigerator, and leaned against the door while biting the straw, tilting his head to look at his father. Zhang Chaoyang frowned, lowered his head and thought about it for a while, and then found that his daughter was looking at him, so he turned on the air conditioner to breathe: "What's wrong?"
"Dad—" Zhang Kesong dragged his voice, "I want to ask you for something..."
Seeing her slightly scoundrel, Zhang Chaoyang remembered the way she held her hand in front of the toy store when she was young, so she smiled: "What's the matter? What do you want to buy again?"
"Not this..." Zhang Kesong ran over easily, jumped onto the sofa, and said while pinching his shoulders, "I want... to let you help me see where my classmate Li Zhen's parents are."
Zhang Chaoyang was stunned: "Why did you suddenly remember this?"
"I'm going out today. I've walked to the community of Li Zhen and his family. Then I wanted to see my uncle and aunt... As a result, the neighbor said that I was picked up by a military vehicle last year." She leaned into Zhang Chaoyang's ear and said mysteriously, "You can definitely find out, right?"
Zhang Chaoyang opened his body sideways, looked at Kesong in confusion for a while, and then said, "...Kesong, are you okay?"
Something was wrong with my daughter today...
When I mentioned Li Zhen's child in the past... No, whenever someone mentioned Li Zhen inadvertently, the smile on her face disappeared suddenly. Why today...
He looked at the expression on his daughter's face, and then thought that she had not returned for a day today. Suddenly he felt that he understood something.
So I laughed helplessly and comfortably in my heart - who is a young man...
Forget it quickly and come quickly.
The daughter's next words made him believe in his speculation more—
"I'm fine. I just want to... Actually, I don't know what I think. I just want to know if they're doing well."
The things that had bothered him before temporarily faded away in the face of this short happy time. The joy brought to him by his daughter's shadow made him finally relax his brows and rub her head: "Okay. Dad takes the time to ask you."
Kesong seemed to have started dating. And finally put Li Zhen down. Looking at the door of the room that his daughter closed, Zhang Chaoyang thought. Although it may delay her grades at this time, but... compared to her usual depressed appearance... let her go.
He glanced at the photo of Kesong's mother in the living room and sighed deeply. He knew her when he was eighteen years old.
Now you left early... my daughter can only rely on me.
So I can't have anything to do. He thought this in his heart and his eyes became cold. I must not have something to do.
