Midnight Bookstore

Chapter 276: Running Away from Home

Many people think that life is a straight line. In this straight line, there will be all kinds of things arranged for you, just waiting for you to walk over.

But life is actually more like a circle. When you think that you have jumped out of the straight line, you start to let go of yourself and choose to resist. When you walk and take a circle, you find that you are still back here.

The thing you wanted to jump out of appeared in front of you again.

“Boss!”

Yingying called Zhou Ze as she went up the stairs.

Zhou ze hurriedly pushed the drawer back and lay down on the bed.

He felt a little guilty.

“Boss, are you tired?”

Yingying walked in and took the initiative to walk to Zhou Ze’s side. She took off her shoes and got on the bed in her white silk dress. She skillfully placed Zhou Ze’s head on her thigh and began to massage Zhou Ze’s head.

“I’m not tired. I’m fine.”

She was just a little stimulated.

Time passed slowly. Zhou Ze just lay there and enjoyed the massage while Yingying kept massaging him seriously and gently.

The two of them enjoyed the atmosphere of being alone, especially when Yingying was in a coma a while ago. Zhou Ze was still not used to it.

“Boss, someone familiar is looking for you!”

The old man downstairs shouted.

Zhou Ze could only get up and go downstairs. He found Wang Ke standing at the door, looking Haggard.

“What’s Wrong?”Zhou ze asked.

“Has Ruirui come to your place?”

“No.”Zhou ze shrugged.

“She’s gone. Can you help me look for her? She’s gone.”

Wang Ke, who had always been calm and capable, looked very anxious at this moment.

“She’s gone. Why are you looking for me? Call the police,”Zhou Ze said.

“No, I gave her mother a new round of treatment. I thought it was a success. Her mother’s condition was also very good. Everything was normal.

But for some reason, her mother suddenly took out a knife from her sleeve and stabbed me.

As a result, Rui Rui, who was standing next to her, reached out and grabbed the knife,

“Her hand was bleeding a lot,

“Then, she took the knife, left, and left the house.

“I found her mother after I settled her down, but I still couldn’t find her. It’s getting dark now, so I’m worried.”

Zhou Ze looked at Wang Ke with a meaningful gaze.

At that time, Wang Ke was able to distinguish his identity through some details. Although he and he were childhood friends, they had not been in contact for many years and had not seen each other for a long time, so he could see through it.

Then..,

what about his daughter?

He had never noticed anything unusual about his daughter?

She was the person closest to him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go with you.”

Zhou ze nodded, changed his clothes, and followed Wang Ke out of the bookstore.

The Little Loli was not only Wang Ke’s daughter,

she was also Zhou Ze’s subordinate,

she..,

could not be lost.

… ..

It was nighttime,

it dispelled the scorching heat of summer.

On a stone stool by the side of the road sat a girl wearing a pleated skirt. She had red leather shoes and exquisite hair hoops, giving off a very cute and sweet feeling.

She sat there silently,

her gaze was somewhat unfocused.

She lowered her head,

she saw her own hand,

there was also a very terrifying wound. Although it had been simply bandaged by her, it was still bleeding.

She was a little confused,

when the woman stabbed the man,

she almost instinctively reached out to catch the knife.

Without hesitation, without hesitation,

and without caring if she would be hurt, she did it.

Feeling the sharp knife cut through her palm, a part of her heart seemed to tremble.

It was like a beautiful dream,

she suddenly woke up,

you need to face reality.

It was somewhat self-deprecating, but also somewhat absurd,

a while ago,

she had just said to Zhou Ze that she liked this body, liked this identity, liked the feeling of this family,

but this time..,

she was a little afraid.

She was Lin Ke, she was not Wang Rui.

In her previous life, she was a strong woman, a manager of a state-owned enterprise. She relied on the state-owned enterprise system to embezzle state-owned property, and since then, things had gone out of control.

If she had not died in an accident, she might have had a place in the national market, let alone in Jiangsu.

However, she began to blur,

she blurred her past self,

she blurred her present self,

she even began to forget who she was and her true identity!

This was a poison, an addictive poison. At the beginning, you would take it willingly, but when you came to your senses, you found that you were half a step away from the cliff.

Last Time..,

a corpse demon came to the house and was ready to attack his father. She had just returned from Chengdu and was seriously injured. She knew that Zhou Ze was nearby, but she couldn’t help but save Wang Ke.

She knew that Zhou Ze had been watching and waiting to see if she really came back.

She also knew that Zhou Ze was his father’s childhood friend. The two of them grew up together in the orphanage. There was a high chance that Zhou Ze wouldn’t watch Wang Ke die.

But she did not dare to gamble,

she did not dare to gamble with Wang Ke’s life with Zhou Ze’s “Loyalty”.

So she came down from upstairs,

she made a move,

later, Zhou Ze found out that she had returned and allowed Zhou Ze to successfully “Take advantage of others’danger”and force her to become his subordinate.

She had also used many reasons to numb herself,

she used many excuses to brush herself off,

but this time..,

when the knife came at her, that instinct..,

made her start to fear.

She couldn’t continue..,

otherwise..,

she might become another Zhou Ze’s sister-in-law.

She stood up. No matter what, she should first go to the hospital to treat her wound. Then, she would leave this home and go to an independent environment.

She couldn’t get rid of this body for the time being, and she couldn’t give it up. So, she needed a new environment and cut off all ties with everything.

She was about to take a taxi, but she didn’t raise her hand.

A taxi stopped in front of the Little Loli. The driver was a middle-aged man with a bald head and a full beard. His eyes were a little small, and his face had a greasy luster.

“Little girl, do you want to take a taxi?”

The Little Loli nodded and got into the taxi.

She wasn’t afraid,

she had nothing to be afraid of.

“Where are you going?”The driver asked the Little Loli, then his gaze kept on the Little Loli.

It was a little presumptuous,

it was also a little too much.

Perhaps the other children wouldn’t feel anything from this kind of gaze, because they weren’t that sensitive. But the Little Loli was different. What lived in her body was a mature soul.

She was somewhat disgusted by the driver’s gaze.

“Ah, your hand is bleeding!”

The driver saw the bandage wrapped around the Little Loli’s hand and the fresh blood seeping out from it. He was shocked and said,

“I’ll send you to the hospital.”

The Little Loli nodded.

The driver started the car and drove very quickly.

Then, he didn’t go to the Tongcheng Hospital. Instead, he turned into a small block and stopped in front of a small clinic here.

“Let’s go, Here!”

The driver opened the car door for the Little Loli.

The Little Loli looked at the driver and then at the small clinic. She didn’t say anything and got out of the car.

After walking in..,

a male attending physician came out. He wasn’t young anymore. The driver ran over to talk to the Doctor for a while, and the doctor called the Little Loli over.

He slowly removed the gauze on the Little Loli’s hand and began to disinfect, apply medicine, and then bandage her up again.

As he bandaged her, he glared at the driver, looking very helpless.

The bandage was done, and the blood stopped flowing.

The driver walked out with the Little Loli.

“Are You Hungry?”

The Little Loli didn’t say anything.

“I’ll bring you to eat something.”

The Little Loli still didn’t say anything, but she still followed the driver to a nearby spicy hot soup shop.

The driver ordered three bottles of beer and a cup of sour plum juice for the Little Loli,

it was canned.

The Little Loli looked at the sour plum juice in front of her and pondered for a long time,

was this kind of drink already so popular?

The Little Loli didn’t want to eat the spicy hotpot, but she couldn’t resist the driver’s constant urging. She randomly picked a drink that was about thirteen yuan.

The driver ordered some himself, but most of the time, he still drank beer.

The boss of the spicy hotpot came over from time to time to talk to the driver,

the driver complained that he had lost money in gambling and cards. Recently, he had been unlucky.

He ate the spicy hot pot for about 40 minutes,

the driver scolded the German team for 39 minutes,

he said that the German team couldn’t even beat the club, which made him almost go to the rooftop to line up this morning.

After the meal,

the driver got up and said to the Little Loli,

“Shall I send you home?”

The Little Loli looked at the driver,

she still didn’t say anything.

She was in a bad mood,

she was very confused,

when people were confused, they wanted to find something to do.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, the driver looked at the Little Loli with a slightly red gaze, and his gaze also changed a little.

“Go Home?”The driver asked again.

The Little Loli still didn’t answer.

The driver immediately slapped his head and said regretfully, “Damn it, I drank too much. I Can’t drive. I can’t send you back.”

The Little Loli’s lips twitched,

hehe.

“Where do you live? Who’s at home? Did you get into a conflict with your parents?”

The Little Loli nodded.

“Where do you live?”The driver asked again.

The Little Loli did not say her home address. Instead, she said the address of the bookstore.

“Oh, it’s on South Street.”

The driver immediately waved his hand, and a tricycle nearby drove over.

The driver sat on it first, then motioned for the Little Loli to get in the car.

The tricycle began to wobble,

the Little Loli closed her eyes, giving off a feeling of being asleep.

Along the way..,

the driver’s eyes were red as he stared at her,

he didn’t leave for even a moment.

After twenty minutes..,

when the Little Loli opened her eyes again..,

she saw that Mord had actually arrived at the door of the bookstore.

The driver accompanied the little loli out of the car,

he reached out and wiped his eyes,

oh..,

he cried.

“Child, you must have gotten into a fight with your parents, right?”

The Little Loli did not answer.

“This wound was also caused by you?”

The Little Loli still did not answer.

The driver took a deep breath and said,

“Let’s go back.”

As he said that, he pointed at the bookstore. “I want to watch you go back.”

The Little Loli turned around and walked towards the bookstore. When she reached the bookstore’s entrance, she stopped and turned around again.

She tilted her head slightly,

she looked at the driver in surprise.

Yes..,

very surprised.

The driver lit a cigarette with Mo, who he knew. When he saw the Little Loli turning around to look at him, he waved his hand and said,

“Hurry up and go back. I want to see your family pick you up.”

“Car fare.”

The Little Loli reached into her pocket and realized that she didn’t bring her wallet and phone with her when she went out.

“What are you talking about money for? I don’t want it anymore! Uncle, I have plenty of money!”

The driver waved his hand generously.

“You’re really generous. Haha, you brought the Little Girl to your clinic at your doorstep and ate the spicy hot soup at your doorstep. Didn’t you gamble all your money away and let your neighbors at your doorstep make it easy for you to owe money?”

Mo’s driver spat out smoke rings as he complained.

“Pull your balls!”

The driver knocked on Mo’s car door in annoyance.

The Little Loli said expressionlessly,

“Thank you.”

“No need to thank me, little girl. In the future, no matter what happens at home, don’t hurt yourself. It’s not worth it!

“No matter how much you have conflicts with your parents, don’t sneak out alone. It’s too dangerous!”

“Okay.”

The Little Loli responded and turned to leave. However, she stopped because of the driver’s next sentence.

“My daughter ran away from home in a fit of anger after quarreling with me. Then… she disappeared.”
