Chapter 249, Perfect Avoidance
"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"
After ringing the doorbell twice, everyone waited outside for a while, but they didn't hear anyone from inside to open the door.Wu San turned around and said to the old man standing behind: "Master, the young master may not be at home."
"We, we are..." Want to go in or something?
Wu San was a little uncertain what their master was thinking, so he called him to come to their young master early in the morning, who knew that their young master was not at home.
"I'm not here so early in the morning. Where did I go?" Mr. Zhou didn't even know his grandson's whereabouts outside. He originally thought that he would meet his grandson when he came here early, but he didn't expect to see his grandson when he came so early in the morning. It's inside.
"Are you still sleeping in the house and not waking up?"
"Should, no." Wu San said uncertainly.
"Don't you have the key? Open the door and go in and have a look." Mr. Zhou leaned on a cane, raised his finger and pointed to the door, asking Wu San to open the door and go in.
After not seeing his grandson come home for so long, the old man thought of his grandson who was away.Suddenly remembered that he had not been to the place where the eldest grandson lived outside, so he wanted to see how the place where the eldest grandson lived outside and whether the grandson lived outside was good.
"Yes." Wu San was carrying the key given by their young master, but he didn't know if their young master would ask for the key later when he knew he opened the door to let the old man in.
His intuition told him that the eldest young master probably wouldn't like others to check on his place.
But now the old man was standing behind him, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to use the key to open the door.
The key was inserted into the lock, and the door opened with a "click".
"Master, please come in." Wu San stepped aside and invited their master to enter.
As soon as the door was opened, there was a shoe rack in the entrance, with several pairs of shoes neatly placed on it.
Mr. Zhou walked in with a cane, stood in the living room, looked around the room, and saw that the things in the room were neatly packed, not at all messy as he thought, it seemed that his grandson lived here alone Outside, it's not like the boys usually throw things around.
The room was quiet, and it seemed that no one was really at home.
"Well, it's pretty well cleaned up."
"This kid also installed such a thing in the house." Seeing a sandbag hanging in the house, the old man smiled a little. Knowing that his grandson likes to hit sandbags when he is free, he also hung such a thing at home.
"Ah Xing, does he live here alone?"
"Uh... yes, yes." Wu San hesitated for a moment, wondering if he wanted to tell the truth, and if his old man had noticed something, he knew that their young master brought a classmate back to the dormitory recently live.
But this is indeed the place where their young master lives alone, isn't it?After thinking about it, Wu San didn't say much after all.
The bedroom door was closed. The old man stood at the door of the bedroom and asked Wu San, "Is this the bedroom where he sleeps?"
"Yes, yes." Wu San stretched out his hand and knocked on the door twice, making sure that no one was really in the room, and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want to go in and have a look?"
"I won't go in. The outside doesn't seem to be well cleaned up. That kid loves to be clean since he was a child. Well, it's not bad." Mr. Zhou walked around the house and saw that the house where his grandson lived was so neatly tidied up. Living outside, it looks pretty good, so I feel relieved.
"let's go."
"Yes, sir."
The group stayed in the house for less than 10 minutes before going out.
Wu San followed behind their old man, and closed the door smoothly.

They came to the new store early in the morning. Zhou Xing was participating in the school's basketball game during this time, and he knew that Qiao Minglang was also busy with the opening of the new store during this time.It's just that in the past half a month, the two of them were busy with their own affairs, and he didn't have time to come over to see the results of the young man's busy work these days.
Until today, when he sent the young man to the store, he followed the young man to the new store to have a look.
They left early today, so Zhou Xing didn't know that his grandfather had brought people to his place.After receiving the message from Wu San, he found a fixed line and called Wu San, "What's the matter?"
Wu San on the other end of the phone told them about the fact that the old man went to the place where their young master lived today.
Zhou Xing frowned, and recalled in his mind whether there was anything in the room that his grandpa could not see, and asked, "Did grandpa say anything?"
"I didn't say anything, just asked if you live alone."
"how do you say."
"I just said, young master, that you live alone, and nothing else." Wu San hesitated for a while, and said that the old man didn't go into the bedroom to see.
Hearing the words of the person on the other end of the phone, Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and replied, "Well, that's good. If Grandpa comes over to my side next time, you can tell me in advance."
He thought that when he got back, he would have to tidy up the things in the house, lest his grandpa would come over next time and see something.
Zhou Xing didn't feel that his relationship with the boy was known to his family until his own abilities had not grown up and he had not enough strength to fight against the adults in the family.What his grandpa might do to his grandson, but it's hard to say whether his grandpa would treat the boy.
He knew that the young man and his cousin had managed to open a few shops in the city, and if his grandfather was behind the scenes, there might be nothing left.Zhou Xing felt that what he had to do now was not to bring any trouble to the boy.
"Oh, okay." Later, Wu San said that their master asked their eldest and young master to go home.
Zhou Xing thought for a while and said, "Got it, if I'm free later, I'll go back and have a look."
With that said, he hung up the phone.
Going out from the phone booth, seeing the young man standing outside, Zhou Xing walked over to the young man, picked up the helmet hanging on the front of the car and put it on the young man, "Let's go." He put on the helmet himself and straddled it.
When the young man sat behind him and hugged his waist with both hands, the corners of Zhou Xing's mouth curled up a little, and he drove away on the motorcycle.
The two returned from the new shop to the old shop at the farmer's market, and just received a message from Zhang Lei and Peng Er, knowing that those people hadn't seen him for a long time, and they were all looking for him, and he would never go back to see those people If so, maybe that group of people will come to him.
Zhou Xing had no choice but to tell the young man that he was going home, and asked the young man to wait for him in the shop.
"Okay, if you have something to do, you can do it. I'm here by myself, and I can go back later by myself." Qiao Minglang knew that Zhou Xing hadn't been home for a long time, and he was afraid that his family members were looking for him.
"Wait for me to pick you up." Zhou Xing glanced at the boy, put on his helmet, and drove away on his motorcycle.
***
Halfway through August, they don't have much time left for their summer vacation.
The next semester will be the second year of high school, and the two plan to live outside next semester, and they have to find a house in advance.During this time, Qiao Minglang had been paying attention to some rented houses near the school. It took the two people behind them two days to find a place to live.
His aunt called several times, and Zhou Xing wanted to go to the capital.
It just so happened that his aunt and cousin-in-law said they would bring their children to the city to play. They had been in the city for such a long time, and no one from the family had visited them, saying they wanted to come and see them.
Originally, Qiao Minglang wanted to arrange a few days to go home and take a look. He hadn't seen the children at home for a while.In this case, he will stay in the city and wait for his family to come over, and he will not go back.
Zhou Xing asked him to go to the capital with him, so Qiao Minglang didn't have time to go with him.
Now the two of them will discuss everything in advance, and they will no longer have conflicts because of disagreements like before.
Seeing that Qiao Minglang really couldn't go with him, but he promised his aunt that he would go there, Zhou Xing could only prepare to go there by himself.
But Zhou Xing was still a little disappointed in his heart. He looked at his young man with a sad face, and complained dissatisfiedly, "Every time I ask you to go with me, you don't have time. If this is the case, when we pass the college entrance examination together Going to study, I will take you there, and I will show you the way when the time comes."
Zhou Xing felt that the boy might not go to the capital with him until they were admitted to university.
Seeing the way Zhou Xing looked at him, Qiao Minglang couldn't help but smiled and said "OK".
The two agreed that when the time comes, they will go to the capital to go to university together, and then go there together.
In half a month, they will start their second year of high school. Their studies in their second and third years of high school must be busier than they are now. In the next two years, they will definitely not have much time to go to far places to play.
Qiao Minglang knows his time schedule well. He has too full time schedule every day, and he knows that he is pushing himself too fast.But he is different from Zhou Xing. He still has so many younger siblings to support. When he wakes up every day, all he thinks about is how to support his family, and how to make sure the children in the family have enough food and can afford to go to school.
On his own side, he still has to study, and he is busy going to school and taking college entrance examinations.Maybe for a long time in the future, he won't let himself relax, and he can really go somewhere to play for a few days.
But he never told Zhou Xing about these things. He felt that this was his own business and his family's business. Qiao Minglang didn't want to put this pressure on others.
So that's why in their relationship, he couldn't be like Zhou Xing, to like someone frankly and directly, and pour all his feelings into the other person.
After Qiao Minglang thought about it, he felt that it wasn't that he didn't like Zhou Xing, but that he liked this person, and it wasn't to the point where he had to be with him regardless...
