Chapter 133
Shen Keyan and Teng Bai had a hard time, and it was past ten o'clock when they returned.
Shen Keyan parked his bicycle downstairs, said goodbye to Tengbai, entered the building, pressed the elevator and waited quietly.
He didn't tell Shen Mingjin when he came back, and he didn't actually decide whether he wanted to live here all the time for the next week, after all, every time he lay down in the room where he lived since he was a child, he couldn't sleep well.
But tonight, when I was sitting in the back seat of Fujibai's car, the rejection of sleeping in that room in my heart was much less for no reason, and he really wanted to go to school with Fujibai, what needs to be taken care of by Grandpa Dashu living here will be much more convenient.
Didn't he sleep well last time, Shen Keyan thought, he could try for another two nights and see.
The elevator reached the floor where he lived. When Shen Keyan walked out of the elevator, the sensor lights in the corridor didn't turn on immediately, and he saw a little light coming from the crack in his door.
It should be that the light was turned on in the living room, and Shen Mingjin was not asleep yet.
When Shen Keyan walked to the door of the house and took out the key to open the door, he suddenly remembered the early years.
In the years of elementary school and junior high school, especially the two years in elementary school when his father drank the most, he didn't dare to go home every day.
After school, I stayed in Grandpa Dashu's Taekwondo gym, and came back reluctantly when the gym closed.
After coming back, I often have to listen to the movement at the door for a long time, until I am sure that there is no movement, I dare to open the door and go in. After entering, I just sneak into my room.
After moving out for the past two years, it may be because Shen Mingjin didn't drink so frequently, so he gradually lost the previous resistance and fear of coming back here.
Shen Keyan was lost in thought for a while, and the movement of his hands didn't stop, and he opened the door soon.
There was the sound of talking on the TV from inside the door, he pulled out the key and walked in, Shen Mingjin on the sofa looked at him with obvious surprise on his face.
"Xiao Yan, you... why did you come back tonight? Didn't you just come back two days ago?"
Shen Mingjin stood up from the sofa, as if he was going to walk towards him, took two steps, he didn't know what he remembered, and stopped again.
Sensing something wrong in his expression, Shen Keyan stepped towards Shen Mingjin.
Walking two or three steps away from Shen Mingjin, he smelled a very faint smell of alcohol.
His brows frowned all of a sudden, and his body tensed almost reflexively, "Have you been drinking?"
Since he reached an agreement with Shen Mingjin last time, the few times he came back, he didn't meet Shen Mingjin drinking. Sometimes when he asked, Shen Mingjin would say that he had, but he kept it to once a week.
Seeing that Shen Keyan noticed it, Shen Mingjin quickly said, "The business in the store is good today, so the boss dragged me to drink two glasses, really only two glasses, half a bottle at most."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Keyan's frown that was getting deeper and deeper, and then said, "This is the first time I've had a drink this week, and I really didn't drink too much. You...don't be afraid, look, I didn't... I didn't fall around Things, if you don't believe me, there is an alcohol tester at home, you can take it and test it for me."
Shen Keyan knew that Shen Mingjin didn't drink too much, and if he drank too much, he wouldn't stand here and talk to him soberly.
He didn't go to get an alcohol tester, but asked Shen Mingjin, "Is there hot water at home?"
"No." Shen Mingjin said, "I'll go burn some."
"No, I'll go." Shen Keyan put the bag on his back on the sofa, turned and went into the kitchen.
He boiled a pot of boiling water in the kitchen and poured it into the thermos, poured the rest into the quilt, took it out and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and said to Shen Mingjin, "Let's drink it when it's almost warm, I'll go back to the room first gone."
Shen Mingjin's eyes fell on the smoking cup on the table for a moment, and when he saw that Shen Keyan was about to leave, he quickly stopped him, "Are you sleeping at home tonight?"
Shen Keyan stopped and nodded, "Grandpa Dashu broke his leg."
Shen Mingjin seemed to be stunned for a moment, and it took two seconds to realize who Shen Keyan was talking about, and said, "You said Old Wood, I heard it from someone two days ago, but didn't it mean that his grandson came back to take care of him?"
Shen Keyan looked at Shen Mingjin upon hearing the words, "How do you know he has a grandson?"
"I've seen it a few times in the community." Shen Mingjin responded, and seeing that Shen Keyan seemed interested in this topic, he said a few more words, "That grandson of Lao Mu is so outstanding, I have basically seen him in the community I can remember it once, but you haven't come back often in the past two years, so you may not have met."
Hearing this, Shen Keyan nodded and said nothing.
Seeing that he was about to leave again, Shen Mingjin said again, "Do you know that grandson of Lao Mu?"
Shen Keyan nodded, "Student in the same class."
"Then you haven't met him in the community, have you?" Shen Mingjin said a little strangely, "Did you meet him once in the community during the days when you came back to live during Chinese New Year last year?"
Chinese New Year last year.
That was more than half a year ago.
The first year Shen Keyan moved out, he didn't go home for the New Year. In the second year, Shen Mingjin promised him that he would never drink during the New Year, so he returned home.
But he didn't stay for a few days, because his mother passed away in the first lunar month.
At that time, neither he nor Shen Mingjin will be in a good mood, especially Shen Mingjin.
He knew that Shen Mingjin hated seeing him on that day the most, so he left a few days before the day came.
Shen Keyan thought about it, and asked, "Did he spend the New Year here last year?"
Shen Mingjin nodded, then took two steps back, and said to Shen Keyan, "It's rare that you are willing to talk to Dad, sit down and talk."
Seeing this, Shen Keyan thought for a moment, and sat down on the sofa with Shen Mingjin.
After sitting down, Shen Mingjin said again, "On the night of New Year's Eve last year, didn't the family run out of salt? When I went downstairs to buy, I saw him downstairs."
"Downstairs?" Shen Keyan said, "Is it in the community?"
"It's just downstairs in our building. When I went down, he was standing in front of the small garden facing the building door, as if he was looking up upstairs, but he didn't know what he was looking at."
Shen Keyan was taken aback for a moment.
Grandpa Dashu's building and the building he lives in are on both sides of the flower bed. Entering from the gate of the community, there is a fork in the flower bed, one leads to the side of Grandpa Dashu's building, and the other leads to their side.
If it wasn't for looking for someone, or taking a walk after dinner, there would be no reason for Teng Bai to come to them.
"Could I have misjudged the person." Shen Keyan said with a fluttering voice.
"Of course not. I didn't drink that day." Shen Mingjin said firmly, "Besides, such a beautiful child is too rare to admit it. And when I went down, he saw me, as if he knew me. When you see me, leave immediately."
Shen Keyan lowered his eyes, "I saw you and left?"
"That's right." Shen Mingjin spoke in a serious voice, "At first he raised his head to look upstairs, but when he saw me coming out of the building, he walked away from the flower bed and entered the building where Old Mu lived."
Shen Keyan accompanied Shen Mingjin to watch TV until eleven o'clock at night.
After returning to his room, he took a brief shower and lay down in bed at almost 11:30.
Still not sleepy, but Shen Keyan didn't have much time to think about this problem tonight.
He lay on the bed, turned around twice thinking about what Shen Mingjin said tonight, and then recalled the details of his relationship with Teng Bai in the past month.
It's a pity that when he first came into contact with Fujishiro, he didn't pay too much attention to Fujishiro, so he couldn't remember many things.
Shen Keyan turned around on the bed for a long time, his mind became more and more confused, and finally got up and got out of bed, and walked to the window.
It was much cooler tonight than the previous nights, so Shen Keyan closed the window as soon as he entered the house.
He went to the window and opened it, and the cool breeze poured in.
The building where Grandpa Dashu lived was on the opposite side, higher than his floor, but he couldn't see the opposite room from his room, because it was just blocked by a few big trees with luxuriant branches.
Shen Keyan raised his head and looked at the opposite building in a daze. After looking for a while, his eyes fell on the small flower bed between the two buildings.
The entrance of the building that Shen Mingjin said was in the lower right corner opposite his room, even though it was late at night, occasionally people could still be seen coming in and out from below.
The flower bed facing the entrance can be seen clearly from Shen Keyan's current angle, because it is right under the street light.
What was Shen Keyan doing when Shen Mingjin bought salt in the afternoon of the Chinese New Year?
He seemed to be making soup in the kitchen, but because there was no salt, he had to temporarily turn off the low heat and wash the vegetables in front of the sink.
The sink in the kitchen was facing the window, to be precise, it was in front of the window. Standing in front of the wide open window, he could even see the entire flower bed downstairs clearly.
But that day he remembered that he hadn't looked downstairs.
If Shen Mingjin remembered correctly, Teng Bai had indeed stood downstairs that evening.
Then he was standing downstairs, what was he looking at?
Could it be... looking at him?
Shen Keyan felt his heart skip a beat.
Shen Keyan didn't sleep well that night.
It was different from the previous bad sleep, not because of the instinctive fear of this room, but because of the vine white in his head.
He woke up the next day in a trance, and when he was brushing his teeth, he received the news from Teng Baifa that he had bought breakfast for him, and his heart beat twice violently.
He replied "I'll find you in 5 minutes" to Fujibai, and when he put away his phone, he felt his heart was in his throat.
Quite baffling.
It is very likely that Shen Mingjin made a mistake that night, and it is also very likely that Teng Bai just happened to pass by downstairs that day.
It's something you don't need to think too much about, but Shen Keyan somehow feels like you don't think too much about it.
There are always some details that support him and make him want to dig down again, but after digging, nothing can be dug out.
He thought about when he first met Teng Shira that night, and after thinking about it, he only remembered that it was a morning reading after the second grade of high school.
During that time, he often skipped classes to go out to work part-time, and he was in a state of not getting enough sleep every day.
When I got to school that day, I lay down and fell asleep.
As soon as he fell asleep, he was photographed twice. When he raised his head in a sleepy state, he saw a beautiful face. The owner of the face said to him coldly, "The director will conduct random checks at the morning reading meeting today."
If Tengbai was talking about any other teacher then, Shen Keyan would ignore him and continue to lie down and sleep.
But Tengbai was talking about the director, and Shen Keyan barely braced himself up thinking of the director's drive to educate him for two hours every time he was caught.
Later, in fragmentary memory, I had a slight impression of that beautiful face, and knew that he was the squad leader.
All the bright memories started from the day Teng Bai took Xia An'an to find him, Shen Keyan didn't know what he missed.
With almost no sleep all night and something on his mind, Shen Keyan had a bad expression when he went downstairs.
Who would have thought that as soon as he left the building, he ran into Luo Lingluo who hadn't slept all night and didn't know where he came back from.
Luo Lingluo's expression was even worse than his appearance, the hair on his head was messed up like grass, and his eyes were so red that they would mutate in the next second.
Especially after seeing Shen Keyan, those red eyes stared out, looking even more frightening.
"What a bad morning!" Luo Lingluo scolded.
Except for the first glance, Shen Keyan didn't pay any attention to him after moving away, and turned around to leave.
Of course Luo Lingluo wouldn't let him go, he yelled and said, "Why did you go home again last night? Aren't you eager to escape from here? Oh, it's because of the grandson of your grandpa Dashu, isn't it? I wanted to curry favor with others, so I came back to live here."
Shen Keyan had already gone a few steps, and when he heard Luo Lingluo's words, he paused, and frowned slightly.
How could Luo Lingluo know that Teng Bai was the grandson of Grandpa Dashu.
The footsteps that Shen Keyan stopped made Luo Lingluo feel that he had been hit by his words, and he suddenly became more eccentric, "You are right, I am not as capable as you. I have hugged thighs since I was a child, and when I was a child, I hugged other people's thighs to let them protect me." You, after so many years, still clinging to this thigh, have such a thick skin, of course I can't learn it."
Shen Keyan was already planning to leave, but when he heard Luo Lingluo's words, he was taken aback, turned his head to look at Luo Lingluo with a surprised expression, and asked with a sullen face, "What do you mean by what you said?"
