Chapter 2 The Sky 2
"No, you must not tell Aunt He Pei." I stopped Brother Xiao Hei from going in to find her and said, "You also know that Chen Qiaoluo is the one who least wants Aunt He Pei to worry about him. You must not let her know about this."
"Okay, I understand." He exhaled and said, "How about this, Yun, wait for me at the door, I'll go in and ask for leave and then accompany you to find A'Luo."
"Well, thank you, Brother Xiaohei."
"It's okay." He smiled and said, "You and A'Luo are like my brothers and sisters. How can I, as your eldest brother, sit back and watch you get into trouble? Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Although City A is not big, looking for someone without any clue is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Brother Xiao Hei and I searched all the places Chen Qiaoluo often went, but still couldn't find any trace of him.
Just when I was about to despair, Brother Xiaohei suddenly slapped his head and shouted: "Hi Yun, I remember now. A Luo seemed to have told me some time ago that he had found a job in a KTV. What was the name of that KTV…"
Seeing him suddenly stuck, I couldn't help but urge him, "What's your name?"
"Don't rush me, let me think about it." He frowned and said uncertainly after a while, "I think it's called something like Sunshine..."
Sunlight?
I searched quickly in my mind, but had no clue.
At this moment, my cell phone in my pocket rang. I took it out and saw the word "Dad" flashing on the screen.
"Hey, girl, why haven't you come back yet?"
As soon as the call was connected, my father's voice of inquiry came.
Before I could answer, I hurriedly asked, "Dad, do you know if there is any KTV in our city with the word 'sunshine' in its name?"
"Why are you asking this?" Dad was a little puzzled.
"It's too late to explain now. I'll tell you when I get back."
My dad always has a lot of work-related social events. When it comes to entertainment venues in this city, I'm afraid he knows much more about them than Xiaohei and I. After hearing my answer, he stopped asking questions and reported a few KTV names with the word "sunshine" in them.
After hanging up the phone, I took Brother Xiaohei to look for Chen Qiaoluo from house to house, and finally found out about Chen Qiaoluo in a KTV called "Sunshine Mediterranean".
We walked to the door of Box 2046 according to what the waiter said. As soon as we opened the door, we saw Chen Qiaoluo smiling at a fat middle-aged woman. It seemed that they had not expected someone to suddenly break in. The people in the box were stunned for a moment.
After a while, one of the women in her thirties finally responded and frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
I can’t explain how disappointed I was when I saw Chen Qiaoluo. I gritted my teeth and walked over to him silently and pulled him up from the sofa: “Chen Qiaoluo, come with me.”
Just as I was about to pull him out, the woman next to him also reacted, stood up suddenly, and asked in a stern voice: "What are you doing?"
I didn't say anything. At this moment, I didn't want to pay attention to them. I just wanted to take Chen Qiaoluo away.
But as soon as I took a step forward, the hand holding Chen Qiaoluo was pried apart by someone. I turned around and saw Chen Qiaoluo standing there with his head down. In the dim light, I couldn't see his expression clearly.
I don’t know how long it was before I heard his low voice.
He said, "Hello Zhu Yun, what are you doing here?"
It was just a short sentence, but it made my heart feel as if it had fallen into a cold kiln. I looked at him angrily and said, "Chen Qiaoluo, you actually asked me why I came here? I think you should know better than anyone why I came here."
Chen Qiaoluo did not answer my question directly, but just said indifferently: "Hello Zhu Yun, you can go now."
Get me away?
I never thought I would hear such words from Chen Qiaoluo, and I was stunned for a moment.
Brother Xiaohei, who was waiting at the door, couldn't help but rush in when he heard this. He said to Chen Qiaoluo, "Aluo, what's wrong with you? Do you know how worried Yunhao is about you? She has been looking for you until now."
"I didn't ask her to come to me." Chen Qiaoluo said lightly.
What a "I didn't ask her to come to me." I looked at Chen Qiaoluo with a wry smile, and the sadness in my heart instantly overwhelmed me.
I gritted my teeth and spoke after a while: "Chen Qiaoluo, what do you mean by this?"
"Literally." He glanced at me lightly and said, "Hello Zhu Yun, leave me alone."
"Chen Qiaoluo, why didn't you say this before?" I stared into his eyes and said, "I have known you for such a long time, why didn't you say this at the beginning? If you told me to leave you alone at that time, I, Zhu Yunhao, would not have done this."
My words silenced Chen Qiaoluo.
Seeing him lower his head, the woman standing on the side couldn't help but walk in front of him, chuckled, glanced at me and said, "Sister, what can you do if someone doesn't want to go with you? Listen to my advice, forget about this kind of man, and live your life as usual."
She thought she knew everything, and she stretched out her hand to pat me, but I slapped it away in disgust: "Don't touch me with your dirty hands."
My merciless words made her expression change in an instant.
The woman next to me came over and pointed at me and cursed: "Believe it or not, I will make sure you can't leave this door today!"
I looked at her and said coldly, "Get lost!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the woman rushed over to hit me, but Xiao Hei quickly stopped her. She was a little unhappy that she didn't hit me, and she shouted, "Let me go!"
Brother Xiaohei remained silent and just kept stopping her.
Seeing that shouting was useless, she turned her spearhead towards Chen Qiaoluo: "How can you serve? You actually brought these people here. Believe it or not, I will make you lose this job immediately!"
Chen Qiaoluo looked at me without saying anything. After a while, he came over, took my hand and walked out.
My wrist was pulled so hard that it hurt, and he didn't let go of my hand until we were outside the KTV. At this time, there was almost no one outside, but I could still vaguely hear the singing inside.
I rubbed my red wrist and looked up at him.
Chen Qiaoluo's face looked a little ugly. He almost gritted his teeth and yelled at me: "Zhu Junhao, what do you want?"
"What do I want?" I asked back, "Chen Qiaoluo, why don't you think about why you are like this. Your name was reported again at the morning meeting today. Director Xu said that if you don't go back to class, you will be expelled directly."
Chen Qiaoluo was stunned for a moment, then said stubbornly: "If you want to drop out, then drop out. I don't want to go to class anyway."
"Chen Qiaoluo," I said sternly, "Have you ever thought about Aunt He Pei? She worked so hard to raise you and support your education, not to let you degenerate."
"Ha, you're willing to degenerate?" Chen Qiaoluo suddenly sneered, his eyes cold. He said, "Zhu Yun, do you think everyone is as lucky as you? Do you know why I work so hard to make money? Do you think I want to endure being ordered around by those people?"
"I'm telling you, you don't understand anything." He stared at me and spoke word by word. "Do you know why I never mention my father? Because he's in jail. Just a few years ago, he killed someone by mistake. And I'm the son of a murderer. From then until now, I don't know how many people have looked down on me. But it doesn't matter. They are just insignificant people. I don't feel sad even if they look down on me. You must not know that our family is in debt because of my father's fault. I don't want my mother to bear all this alone. I don't want to see her struggling to compromise even though she has been wronged at work. I don't want her to be so tired anymore."
