After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away - Chapter 84
[Chapter 79 Zhou Lin (six)]
After exchanging contact information with Ji Ning, Zhou Rin chatted with him that night, mainly talking about tutoring.
He offered a very high hourly salary, and introduced Zhou Cun’s situation. He portrayed him as an average mathematician with a lot of room for improvement. It was not difficult to convey. Ji Ning really had no reason to refuse. After agreeing, it was finally agreed that if there are no special circumstances, counseling will be held every Sunday morning.
Generally speaking, Zhou Rin had nothing to do on Sunday mornings and could stay at home. He asked Ji Ning to be Zhou Cun’s tutor in order to meet with Ji Ning. If he was not at home, it would be meaningless.
It was the first time that Zhou Rin took Ji Ning to recognize the door. He personally drove to the school and entered Ji Ning. After the commercial car drove into the villa area, a look of surprise appeared on Ji Ning’s face, as if he did not expect it. Zhou Rin’s family conditions would be so favorable.
“Hello, Teacher Ji.”
After walking into the villa, the teenager Zhou Cun smiled and stood at the door to greet Ji Ning. Ji Ning nodded at him, changed his shoes, went into the living room, and asked, “Then where are we taking classes? Classmate Zhou Cun’s room?”
“It’s in the living room.” The boy laughed, “My room is a bit messy, I’m sorry to let the teacher see it.”
“That’s fine.”
Ji Ning nodded without saying anything, and the boy They sat on the sofa together, drank some tea, nodded and smiled at Zhou Rin, and started today’s class.
He had already learned about the school’s progress from the teenager and made preparations in advance. The two quickly entered the state and explained some issues.
Zhou Rin also sat aside, his slender legs folded together, and listened quietly without saying a word.
It was his intention to give lectures in the living room, because he was worried about leaving those two alone in a closed room, and in the living room, he could see their situation at any time, and another reason was to avoid letting Ji Ning see them. Go to the large and small Mathematical Olympiad trophies and competition certificates in the bedroom bookcase.
Soon half of the class passed, and when it was time for a break, the teenager claimed that he was going to the bathroom and temporarily left the living room.
Zhou Rin looked at Ji Ning who was arranging manuscript papers, like a brother who was concerned about his brother’s schoolwork, and asked Ji Ning, “Mr. Ji, how did you feel about teaching my brother just now?”
“Student Zhou Cun is really smart, no matter what. Whatever the problem, he can figure it out.”
Ji Ning smiled, then frowned slightly, and said a little uncertainly, “So I haven’t really figured out his level yet, so he asked me some questions, Some are very basic, and some are more advanced, I always feel that there are some that he shouldn’t be able to, but seems to have proposed it intentionally…”
Zhou Rin said nothing, in fact, in order to let Ji Ning give Zhou Cun’s counseling, Zhou Cun He also made a lot of preparations in advance. After all, he really didn’t need the tutoring of ordinary schoolwork. Those questions were collected from his classmates.
With Zhou Cun’s mathematical level, these questions seemed to him to have no difference, they were all the same simple, so he simply asked them all, but inadvertently there were mistakes and he failed to disguise them well.
“His basics are okay.” After pondering for a while, Zhou Rin said, “It’s just that he often makes simple mistakes, maybe it’s because he’s not careful enough.”
“Okay, I see.”
Ji Ning nodded, and after that, the boy After coming out, we went through the second half of the course. After the successful conclusion, Zhou Rin was going to drive Ji Ning back again. Ji Ning immediately waved his hand and said, “Don’t bother Mr. Zhou, I know how to take the car, so I can go back by myself.”
“It doesn’t matter, It happened to be on the way, I have something to do over there.”
At Zhou Rin’s insistence, Ji Ning had to get into his car again, and on the way back, Zhou Rin said casually, “Mr. Ji, isn’t it very good? Do you like mystery novels?”
“Ah, yes, I’m…” Ji Ning responded in a daze, “How did you know?”
“I saw your profile picture, it’s a string of initials, it should be The message left by the perfumer before his death in The Perfume Mystery.”
The handsome Alpha curled his lips into a smile and glanced at the people around him: “I’m a fan of Kayden.”
“So coincidentally? Me too, he’s my favorite mystery novelist.” Ning showed a surprised expression. , “He is very unpopular in China, no one has heard of him, you are the first person I have met who likes him.”
“I was also very surprised.” Zhou Rin said, “Why don’t we talk about him later? ”
That’s great, I’d love to talk to someone about him too. And Samantha Green, has Mr. Chow heard her name? She’s a friend of Kayden and a mystery novelist.”
“… The
two chatted happily all the way. Zhou Rin drove into the school and parked the car downstairs in Ji Ning’s dormitory. Ji Ning got out of the car, stood outside the car and waved at Zhou Rin, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Zhou, Then I’ll go back first, be careful on the road.”
“Okay, see you next week.”
Zhou Rin sat in the driver’s seat and watched Ji Ning enter the dormitory before starting the car, leaving the school and returning home.
The so-called drop-off was naturally because he wanted to get along with Ji Ning alone, and the coincidence of being a fan of books was naturally created by him. He had already known Ji Ning’s preferences like the back of the back, just to have more common topics with him.
As time passed, Zhou Rin and Ji Ning became more and more familiar with each other. In addition to meeting each other in class, the two also made an appointment to go to a mystery novel fan activity together, and also made an appointment to watch a few suspenseful movies. Getting better and better.
“It’s going well?”
Noticing that Zhou Rin, who was sitting on the sofa, put down his phone, there was a faint smile on his lips, and he seemed to be in a good mood. The boy walked past him with a book and asked with a smile.
“It’s alright.”
Zhou Rin closed the chat page between him and Ji Ning, looked at the boy, glanced at the book in his hand, paused, and asked, “Are you reading “The Mystery of Perfume”?”
“Yes, I heard that you and Teacher Ji mentioned this book when chatting, and I became interested, so I bought a copy.” The young man nodded, “It’s really exciting.”
“If you’re interested, you can also read it. Look.”
Zhou Rin said so, lowered his eyelashes, and tightened his hand holding the phone slightly.
He knew that his brother would also be interested in mystery novels. In the past, when he was at home, he would occasionally see them chatting about related plots. Now the teenager has shown such a tendency, which reminded him of the past immediately, and couldn’t help but Somewhat upset.
He suddenly raised his head to look at the young man and asked, “What kind of person do you think Ji Ning is?” The
young man thought about it and replied, “He’s very good, he’s good-looking, has a gentle temper, is smart and patient, I can’t pick him. Find out what shortcomings he has.” Then he smiled slightly, “It’s a good match for you.”
“Do you really think so?” Zhou Rin asked.
“Yes, if you can be together, it’s really good.” The boy nodded, “Parents, they will be happy too.”
“I’ll be with him.”
Zhou Lin and the boy looked at each other for a few seconds, with a low voice open mouth.
“Definitely.” The
young man blinked his eyes and smiled softly: “Okay, I’ll congratulate you then.”
…
Time flies and it’s coming to Sunday, Zhou Rin sent Ji Ning a message as usual. , in addition to teaching Zhou Cun, he also planned to invite Ji Ning to watch a movie in the afternoon, and by the way, he could stay at his house for lunch.
“I’m sorry, I can’t make it this Sunday. I’m in a hurry. I’ll make up for the class later.”
However, in the message, Ji Ning replied like this, and Zhou Rin replied, “It’s okay, look at you. My own situation. What’s the matter, is it okay? Need help?”
“It’s okay, I’ll handle it myself, thank you, we’ll see you later.”
After a few words, Zhou Rin looked down at the chat record and frowned slightly.
Although it wasn’t obvious, he could see the urgency and anxiety in Ji Ning’s tone, as if he was really in trouble.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He called Ji Ning directly, but no one answered. The situation might be more serious than he thought. Zhou Rin immediately pushed other things, drove away from the company, and went to Ji Ning’s school. , drove directly to the downstairs of his dormitory.
He walked to the door of the dormitory building and was about to register his identity when he accidentally bumped into Ji Ning’s roommate. He had met this roommate several times when he sent Ji Ning back, and they left an impression on each other.
“Mr. Zhou?” The roommate showed a surprised expression after seeing him, and immediately reacted, “Did you come to find Ji Ning?”
“Yes.” Zhou Lin nodded, “He said he was in a hurry, I’m not too sure. Don’t worry, just come and have a look.”
“He went home.” The roommate said, with a worried expression on his face, “It seems that something happened to his house… When he left, I saw that he looked very bad. When I asked him what was going on, he didn’t tell me, just said he wanted to go home.”
Zhou Rin’s heart sank when he heard the words. In his original experience, Ji Ning’s family was also in business, but then the company went bankrupt unexpectedly and became heavily in debt. As a result, his parents fell ill. Could it be the current situation?
He immediately continued to call Ji Ning, but there was still no answer, so he went to the office building of the department, checked the address of Ji Ning’s house from the counselor’s roster, and hurried to the city where Ji Ning was located.
However, when they arrived at the address, Zhou Rin found that the house had already been sold. Ji Ning and his family did not live here. It was night time and Ji Ning could not be contacted. In desperation, Zhou Rin was about to go to the hotel. When he checked in, he unexpectedly received a message from Ji Ning.
“Sorry, I’ve been busy during the day, and now I see that you have called me a lot. Is there any urgency?”
“Is it convenient to answer the phone?” Zhou Rin replied immediately.
“Convenient.”
Zhou Rin immediately called Ji Ning’s phone. After a while, the phone was picked up, and Ji Ning’s voice came from the other end: “Zhou Rin?
” The name was no longer so distant. Zhou Rin heard a slight hoarseness in his voice. He listened slightly, softened his tone, and asked, “How are you?”
“I…it’s okay.” Ji Ning said, “Thank you for caring about me. Are you in a hurry to find me when you called me?”
“I’m afraid something will happen to you.” Zhou Rin said, “I’m sorry, I went to your school to look for you and met your roommate. , I learned that you went home, and I asked for your address without your permission. Now I’m near your house, I hope you don’t get angry.”
“Are you outside my house?”
Ji Ning sounded surprised. Extremely, but without any anger: “How did you find this place?”
“I heard that something happened to your house.” Zhou Rin said, “I’m really worried about you, Ji Ning, I want to see you. You can tell me where you are. Where is it?”
“Thank you for caring about me so much…”
Ji Ning thanked him, unable to hide the bitterness in his voice: “I can meet, I can’t let you come in vain, but it’s not convenient for me to leave for a long time, so I have to trouble you. Come here, it’s a little far from my house.”
“It’s okay, I’m driving here.” Zhou Rin’s tone became more and more calm, and he whispered in a soothing tone, “We will meet, don’t be sad, and Me.”
“Okay…”
Ji Ning suddenly choked up a little, hearing Zhou Rin’s heart aching more and more, she just wanted to rush to his side right now to accompany him. After receiving the address, she immediately drove to the vicinity.
This very old community is all narrow alleys, and the car can’t get in. Zhou Rin parked the car outside and hurried in. According to the house number given by Ji Ning, he found a dilapidated three-storey building. In a small building, send a message to Ji Ning.
“I’m going downstairs.”
“Okay, I’ll come out right away.” But
after a while, Zhou Rin heard the sound of someone stepping on slippers downstairs from the stairs of the small building. The lights were all broken. Ji Ning lit up the stairs with the flashlight on her cell phone, and hurriedly walked down to the outside of the building and smiled at Zhou Rin.
“I didn’t expect you to come here.”
Standing under the dim street light, Zhou Rin could see that although Ji Ning was smiling, the smile was reluctant, her face was pale and her eyes were a little swollen, as if she hadn’t had a good rest for a long time. .
“You live here now?”
Zhou Rin looked up and glanced at the tattered window of the small building, her tone sank, but it was not aimed at Ji Ning.
Looking at Ji Ning’s haggard brows, Zhou Rin felt sorry for him and wanted to touch his face or hug him, but she didn’t want to scare people, so she put down the hand she was about to raise, and clenched it slightly. finger.
“I have something to do at home, and I am short of money, so I have to move here temporarily.” Ji Ning pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, “I will move out when I have more money.”
“What happened?” Zhou Rin actually already knew, but he couldn’t say it clearly, so he had to let Ji Ning say it first.
“…My family is in business. My dad wanted to expand the scale, but he was deceived by his partner and made him a guarantor. The partner ran away with the money, and the debt was all counted on my dad’s head… ”
Perhaps he finally had someone to talk to. Ji Ning’s voice was trembling when he spoke. He raised his hand and wiped his eyes, and said in a low voice.
“My family owes a lot of money, and my parents are very sick, but I really don’t have the money to have them hospitalized for treatment… Zhou Rin, I know it’s not good for me to say this, but, can I… can I follow Borrow some money? The condition of this house is too bad, they must not be able to raise it here, I—”
His voice stopped abruptly, his red eyes widened slightly, and it was Zhou Rin who hugged him tightly in the arms.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Zhou Rin wrapped one arm around his waist and raised the other hand to caress his hair. The light was dim, and his breath was filled with the faint scent of epiphyllum, but at the moment he had no more thoughts. , it just hurts badly.
“I’ll help you, you don’t have to worry about anything.”
“Zhou… Zhou Rin…”
The Omega in his arms also hugged him back, his body was trembling all the time, and the sound of crying gradually came.
“I’m really scared. Those debt collectors threatened my parents before, saying that if they didn’t pay back the money…”
“You and your family will be fine, I assure you.”
Zhou Rin put it down gently Kai Jining raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. His voice was soothing, with the power to soothe one’s heart. He said softly, “It will all pass. You have a good rest tonight, and I will come to see you tomorrow.”
Ji Ning Rubbing her red eyes, she nodded lightly, Zhou Rin said a few more words to him, and watched him walk into the small building. After Ji Ning’s figure disappeared, Zhou Rin
‘s expression suddenly sank. She took out her mobile phone and made a call. She said in a cold voice, “I have something to ask you for help.
”
He lost a lot of company matters, and he stayed here to help Ji Ning.
He found a special person to deal with Ji Ning’s parents’ company, and contacted the senior nursing home to let his parents move in to recuperate; the debtor has been brought back and is being investigated by the police. Those debt collectors called, Be very polite this time, saying that the debt has been paid.
How could Ji Ning and his family not know that Zhou Rin did all these things for them. Zhou Rin was their family’s benefactor. His parents almost knelt down to thank Zhou Rin, but they were helped by Zhou Rin in time.
“I don’t even know how to thank you…”
On the way back with Zhou Rin, Ji Ning sat in the co-pilot and looked at Zhou Rin beside him with a complicated expression: “I will definitely pay you back that money, even if it takes a lifetime, I will pay it back. ”
Zhou Rin smiled a little, he really wanted Ji Ning to repay him with his whole life, but it wasn’t money, it was something else.
“We are friends.”
He said to Ji Ning, “No matter what happens, I will accompany you. If there is any trouble, feel free to come to me. I am always welcome.
” She turned her face to the side, her eyes slowly closed, and she fell asleep unconsciously. Zhou Rin didn’t bother him. He didn’t stop the car until he drove back to Ji Ning’s school, and woke up Ji Ning softly, “It’s here.
” After a few seconds, he slowly unfastened his seat belt and said, “Thank you…”
Zhou Rin smiled softly, caressed his face lovingly, and said, “Go back and sleep again.”
“Okay.”
Ji Ning After sobering up a bit, she nodded obediently, Zhou Rin got out of the car, helped Ji Ning take out the suitcase from the trunk, stood outside the car, and watched Ji Ning go back as usual.
But this time, Ji Ning didn’t leave. Instead, she looked at Zhou Rin and said, “Get in the car.”
“It’s okay.” Zhou Rin said, “I’ll wait a little longer.”
“Every time you look at me . Let’s go,” Ji Ning lowered his eyes and said, “I want to see you leave this time.”
Zhou Rin’s heart softened, and the corners of his lips curled up, “Okay.”
He got into the car, sat in the driver’s seat, and fastened his seat belt. , started the car, Ji Ning suddenly came over and knocked on the window.
“What’s the matter?” Zhou Rin rolled down the car window, “Forgot to bring something?”
“No, I just wanted to say, pay attention to safety on the road, and send me a message when you get home.”
“Okay.”
“And…”
Ji Ning opened her lips, a faint blush appeared on her face, and whispered.
“I don’t mean anything else, I will definitely pay you back the money, but I want to say… I probably don’t want us to be just friends.”
Zhou Rin’s heart skipped a beat, and he wanted him to speak more clearly, immediately He reached out to unfasten his seat belt, but Ji Ning ran very fast, and immediately dragged his suitcase into the dormitory building.
Zhou Rin got out of the car, forgot to remove the car keys, and wanted to chase upstairs, but suddenly received a message from Ji Ning on his phone.
“Don’t come up, I, I don’t dare to see you…”
“Shall we meet again in a few days?”
“Don’t forget to tell me when you get home.”
Zhou Rin took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and called Ji Ning’s cell phone was picked up, but Ji Ning didn’t answer it, and sent him a message: “I don’t dare to talk to you either…”
This was just deliberately torturing him…
Looking at the messages on the phone, Zhou Rin was helpless. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he had to send him a text message: “It’s alright to talk like this?”
“…Wait until you get home.”
Zhou Rin had to put away his mobile phone and drove back home, his fast heartbeat on the way from It did not become slow, and he entered the house, and the excitement in his heart did not completely calm down.
At least the boy sitting in the living room with his cell phone could see that he was very happy, so he put down his cell phone and stood up to greet him with a smile.
“Brother, you seem happy that you’re back? Is Teacher Ji okay?”
“Yes, it’s all settled.” Zhou Rin’s brows and eyes were filled with a gentle smile, responding to the boy.
“That’s good,” the boy said. “I’ve been worried these days, so I’ll be fine. Are you thirsty? I’ll pour you a glass of water.”
“Thank you.”
Zhou Rin nodded slightly and sat on the sofa. Suddenly, a bell rang from the coffee table. It was the cell phone that the teenager put on it, and the screen was bright. Zhou Rin’s eyes swept over subconsciously. Instantly stopped.
The screen saver of the teenager’s mobile phone is a light-colored watercolor painting, the background is largely blank, and there is only a light-colored flower in the middle.
With just one glance, he suddenly recognized the variety of the flower.
That’s a flash in the pan.
