Chapter 21:

Jiang Tingzhou only felt that the hand he was holding was as soft as boneless, and his skin was as coagulated. He leaned to Su Meng's ear and deliberately followed her tone of voice, "My kid, why are your hands so soft and fufu?" Speaking of soft fufu At the time, he still couldn't hold back, he laughed first.
Because he was scrupulous about the police and the driver in the same car, Jiang Tingzhou deliberately lowered his voice, his chest vibrated lightly, and the end sound was slightly crisp in the dim environment.
Su Meng's eyes widened in surprise. She won her hands, but did not. Because she was afraid of attracting the attention of the policewoman and the driver in front, she did not dare to make much movement in the back seat. At this time, she felt that Jiang Tingzhou was holding her hand harder. In the end, she couldn't help but complained dissatisfiedly, "You big...big villain."
Jiang Tingzhou laughed lowly, the streamer under his eyes turned, and the light seemed to illuminate the silent night at once.
At this time, the police station just arrived.
The two got out of the car and went in to make notes.
Because Jiang Tingzhou's behavior today was originally based on justice, and it was a bit heavier when he started, so both sides are actually at fault. But fortunately, the patient has nothing to do, and he can recover as long as he stays in the hospital for a few days. Therefore, the police comrades only gave Jiang Tingzhou a serious criticism.
When I came out of the police station, it was almost late at night. Su Meng had already reported safety to the old couple at the police station. After knowing that she was fine, the old couple was finally relieved.
Su Meng and Jiang Tingzhou were walking on a quiet street, and they found a place with wooden chairs to sit and wait for Ling Yucheng to pick them up from the hospital. Just now they went to the police station to make a transcript, and Ling Yucheng was at the hospital to help with the family of the victim.
The night at the end of August is not very cold. The heat during the day is gone, and the evening breeze carries a comfortable temperature.
Jiang Tingzhou looked up at the night sky without stars, perhaps because of what Ling Yucheng said today, perhaps because of Su Meng sitting beside him. He was always a little impetuous, and for the first time felt a sense of peace.
In fact, Ling Yucheng left another sentence when he passed by before leaving.
What Ling Yucheng said to him was, "There is a word called the autumn afterwards." The other party pointed out another way to protect the people he cares about. The frontal hard bars do vent their anger in person, but in fact, this is the most simple and straightforward method, and it is also the most likely to have endless troubles.
Seeing Jiang Tingzhou's movements, Su Meng also raised her head. Seeing the dark sky, she blinked, "There is no star."
When she was a child, she occasionally went to the country's grandmother's house. The rural environment is good, and you can see the twinkling stars above your head at night. It's just a pity that her family all left in that earthquake one after another. Grandma's house, maybe she will never set foot in this life.
Jiang Tingzhou retracted his gaze towards the sky, and looked sideways at Su Meng who looked up at the night sky. Her eyelashes are long, and when she blinks, she always feels a bit of innocence that needs protection.
He couldn't hold back, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her long and curly eyelashes with his fingers.
Su Meng felt it all at once, and she gently patted his hand off, glaring at him as a big bad guy with her eyes.
Jiang Tingzhou was silent for two seconds, and it is rare that she did not "bully" in the usual or playful or lazy tone.
Her eyes are clear, simple, and with her unique innocence.
Makes people want... Always protect her innocence.
At this time, a car stopped not far from them.
It was Ling Yucheng who came to pick them up.
After getting in the car, Jiang Tingzhou and Ling Yucheng's eyes collided in the rearview mirror. The two silently silently talked about the conversation just now, and did not continue to discuss what happened in the Moon Bay Hotel just now.
Today’s incident has already been turned over.
It was getting late, and Su Meng was frightened at night, and was already a little groggy at this time. When they reached the door of Ling's house, the old couple had already been waiting there.
The two old people are not young anymore. They should have been asleep at this time, but now they are still waiting at the door anxiously for their return. After seeing them, Su Meng's sleepiness disappeared.
She worried them.
After some cold and warm questions, Su Meng turned around and realized that Jiang Tingzhou didn't know when he had left. At this time, the old couple Ling was busy distressedly letting her and Ling Yucheng into the house.
Grandma Zhang held her hand and said distressedly, "Mengmeng, you are frightened today."
Su Meng shook her head and said softly, "That person didn't succeed." There was no danger today, because Jiang Tingzhou stopped that person's behavior in time.
Grandma Zhang said gratifiedly, "That's good." She glanced at the time and said, "You go back to the room and take a shower early, then go to bed. If you are afraid, tell your grandma."
Su Meng continued to shook her head, her tone was gentle, "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not afraid."
Grandma Zhang gently touched Su Meng's head and let her go back to the room.
After Su Meng took a shower, she fell into a sweet dream as soon as she touched her head on the warm and comfortable pillow.
On the other side, Jiang Tingzhou did not sleep all night.
He sat at the desk with his back straight, his hands on the desk, his eyes down slightly, thinking about his thoughts.
He didn't turn on the light, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was pitch black, so no light could come in.
Slowly, the sun rises little by little from the east, and the warm sun shines through the curtains into the room little by little. It wasn't until the sunlight illuminated the whole room that he took his cell phone out of his pocket and called his grandpa for the first time in his life.
Because his mother died early, his mother's relatives, except for his uncle, were not close to his grandparents. His grandfather had only two children, one was his younger uncle and the other was his mother. His brother-in-law is now in his early thirties and is devoted to his career. He has not yet married and had children, and he is his grandfather's only grandson.
The relationship between his grandfather and grandfather is not close, because back then, his grandfather strictly refused his mother to marry his father. Because his grandfather felt that although Jiang Guangshi looked like a dog, he was a dressed beast inside. Moreover, the Jiang family's qualifications and status were actually not as good as his mother's. And his mother had a better choice at that time.
Because of Jiang Guangshi's affairs, his mother didn't know how many times he had quarreled with his grandfather, and their quarrels became fiercer.
In the end, his mother insisted on marrying his father. And as grandpa expected from the beginning, Jiang Guangshi was indeed a well-dressed beast, and her married life was not happy.
But her mother was high-spirited and a bit stubborn. She refused to go to her grandfather to persuade her and say a good thing. For the sake of face, she never said the unfortunate things about her marriage in front of her parents. So until her accidental death, she did not have a relationship with her grandparents. Too many contacts.
Since he had little contact with his grandparents since he was a child, when the only bond of his mother was gone, Jiang Tingzhou and his grandparents had almost zero contact.
Until now he calmed down and after thinking about it all night, he realized that in fact, his grandparents had never forgotten him. They had been silently caring for him and paying attention to him.
Every time his uncle practiced severely on him, and when he was in China, he never pulled down on holidays and knew that it was a snack made by himself, and even when he was abroad, he occasionally received those from his uncle. Everything shows that what he thinks is not wrong.
His uncle was just a rough man who served as a soldier. He was not married yet, so he could not be so careful. Thinking about it now, those things should only be sent to him in the name of his uncle, because they were afraid that he would refuse. And his uncle's rigorous training was only because they wanted him to be a good person.
He used to have no high demands on himself and the future.
Because he knows that he will not have a bad life anyway. His mother left him a legacy, and professional staff have taken care of it all these years. The part of making money every year is enough for him to squander it.
In the words Xiao Zhan once described to him, he is young, handsome and rich, so even if he doesn't work hard, he can enjoy life wantonly.
He used to think so too.
But now, he has changed his mind.
Because once he had someone he wanted to protect, he discovered that he was so weak.
Truly freewheeling, in fact, shouldn't be what he did before.
Only when you are truly strong can you be truly free.
At this time, the phone was answered, and an old, surprised voice came from the other side, "Ting Zhou?"
Jiang Tingzhou held the phone tightly.
The person opposite is also his blood relative in this life. Perhaps even more concerned about him than the people on his grandfather's side. It's a pity that he had always ignored it subconsciously before.
Fortunately, it is not too late.
He spoke word by word, earnestly and respectfully calling the other side, "Grandpa."
That happened last night, so Su Meng did not go out all day today.
The day after tomorrow, I will report to the new school, so Su Meng took out the textbook for the first year of high school and prepared to preview. It just so happened that Ling Yucheng, a college bully, was at home recently, so she can ask him if she doesn't understand.
One day passed quickly. Su Meng did not see Jiang Tingzhou's face today, nor heard of him from the old couple Ling, so she was a little worried.
She took out her mobile phone and found out that Jiang Tingzhou had sent her a message a few hours ago.
Brother Jiang: I have something to deal with today. see you tomorrow.
Su Meng was relieved after receiving this text message. But my heart was a little weird.
They didn't make an appointment last night. Today, he always feels a bit strange to report to her the itinerary so actively.
After spending a day at home, Su Meng was kicked out by Grandma Zhang the next day.
"Mengmeng, studying is important, but the body is also tight. I stay at home all the time. Take the'armored soldiers' out for a stroll."
Su Meng took the towing rope of the "armored soldier" from Grandma Zhang, and was then pulled out of the house by the "armored soldier".
As soon as she went out, she saw a person and a dog standing at the door.
The dog has the majestic black back that I have seen before.
People seem to be the same as before, but what is different.
After Su Meng pursed her lips and approached, she discovered that Jiang Tingzhou's right arm exposed under his short sleeves had a large flowered arm tattooed on it.
"Have you got a tattoo?"
Jiang Tingzhou held the black back with one hand and put one hand in his pocket. He tilted his head slightly, his black earrings dazzling, and he pondered for two seconds, "I think so."
Su Meng stepped forward a little strangely, "What did you get tattooed?" She actually got her entire right arm tattooed?
When she approached two steps, she could see the pattern on his right arm clearly.
His tattoo is a girl.
Wearing a yellow dress, a cartoon mask on his face, big eyes and long eyelashes...
this person……
It seems to be her.
