On the way back, Zheng Yu hardly said a word, just quietly watching the scenery outside the window rapidly receding.
Chen Jing knew he was in a bad mood and didn't know how to comfort him. "Why don't we go back and stay with Grandpa for a few more days? I don't have anything else to do anyway."
Zheng Yu shook his head, propped his head with one hand, and looked at him sideways, "Are you not going home for the summer vacation?"
"No, I'm not."
"Why?" Zheng Yu asked without much thought.
"My sister is also on summer vacation, so it's not convenient for me to stay in the living room," Chen Jing said calmly, without a trace of emotion in her heart.
Zheng Yu was quite surprised, "Don't you have a room at your home?"
"I do, but after going to college, I rarely come back home for a long time, so it has been turned into a study room," explained Chen Jing as she saw Zheng Yu frown. "I rented a place for myself and rarely go back."
Moreover, he didn't want to go back. His mom, uncle, and sister were more like a family of three. Whether he was there or not didn't make much of a difference. He felt more at ease being alone. Even during the Chinese New Year, he didn't go home. His parents did call to ask, and he told his mom he was at his dad's and his dad that he was at his mom's. They didn't ask any further.
Chen Jing took motion sickness medicine in advance, so she felt much better than last time, but she still looked listless and went straight to bed when she got home.
"Chen Jing, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
Chen Jing Closed his eyes and pulled the blanket over, "I'll just take a short nap."
Chen Jing He had only had a bowl of millet porridge at his grandfather's house in the morning, and now it was almost dark, so he couldn't let him sleep directly.
"Chen Jing." Zheng Yu couldn't reach him, so he could only shout his name from the side.
At this point, Chen Jing didn't want to move at all. He just covered his head with a blanket to express his dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, I can't cure you anymore." He directly lowered his head and shouted loudly into Chen Jing's ear, "Chen Jing! Get up!"
"Ah!" Chen Jing sat up in a rage and threw a pillow at him. " Zheng Yu, are you crazy?"
The pillow couldn't even touch him. "I'm hungry, I want to eat," he said.
"What can a dead person like you eat?"
Once this was said, both of them were stunned for a moment. In the end, Chen Jing rubbed his head in annoyance, got off the bed, and said, "Forget it, just wait."
"How about you order some takeout for me?" He just didn't want Chen Jing to go to bed hungry.
"I have no money," Chen Jing said as he walked towards the kitchen.
He really had no money left. The money in his hand was all earned from writing articles online, and he had spent a lot on the travel expenses to his grandfather's house, and even more had been given to that so-called master.
Chen Jing ended up cooking a bowl of instant noodles and pushed it in front of Zheng Yu, saying, "Eat it."
Zheng Yu made a disgusted face and said, "You eat it."
"You don't eat, so I cook for you?" Zheng Yu feels uncomfortable if he doesn't bully you for a day, right?
"Have you seen me eat anything?" Zheng Yu propped up his chin and said with a smile.
Chen Jing could also tell that Zheng Yu was afraid he would go hungry, so she started eating.
"Did you not call the police?"
"Is it necessary?" Chen Jing did consider reporting to the police, but the master was found online, and the money was transferred online. It's difficult to trace such accounts overseas, and even if the money could be recovered, it might take a long time.
"What if something happens? It doesn't hurt to do so."
Chen Jing felt the same way and went to the police station to make a statement the next day. But as soon as he stepped out of the police station, a 17 or 18-year-old boy suddenly rushed out and hugged Chen Jing around the waist, saying, "Brother, save me... sob..."
"Chen Yue? Chen Jing's dad got married, and the woman brought a child, Chen Yue."
"Brother, please help me quickly." Chen Yue's school uniform was in a mess, and his face was injured, obviously from a fight.
"I'm going to call Dad." Chen Yue is not his real brother, he doesn't want to get involved, and he can't.
Chen Yue also dodged his phone, "Don't call Dad."
"Are you his guardian?" asked the police officer on the side.
Chen Jing wanted to deny it, but Chen Yue grabbed his sleeve and looked at him hopefully, "Brother, please."
Chen Jing furrowed his brows, then finally put down his phone. "I am his brother."
Zheng Yu couldn't help but comment, "He's not your real brother anyway. Why do you care? You look like a troublemaker."
Chen Yue's situation is not complicated. He had an early relationship with a girl from outside the school. That girl had other pursuers, and they arranged to have Chen Yue come out and beat him up. This was discovered by passersby who reported it to the police.
He could bring the person out with just a signature. Chen Yue cautiously asked, "Bro, um... can I stay at your place for a few days?"
"No way," Chen Jing refused without hesitation.
"I can't go home like this, bro," it would probably take ten days or half a month for him to recover. "I swear, I won't cause you any trouble, I'll call Dad myself, please~"
Chen Yue: Seeing that he didn't relent, she added, "I'll help you call out Brother Jiang Yuandong, how about that?"
Zheng Yu: As soon as he heard the name Jiang Yuandong, alarm bells went off in his head. "Hey, Chen Jing, you're not really going to agree to him, are you?"
Chen Jing couldn't help but glance at the scar on his hand, "At most a week."
Chen Yue immediately caught up with joy, "Thank you, brother. Why are you carrying an umbrella in broad daylight?"
On the side, Zheng Yu also chattered, "Chen Jing, is it necessary to go this far just for Jiang Yuandong? He's just stringing you along, can't you see that?"
"Quiet."
Both of them fell silent for a moment. Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I can't be bothered with you."
