Reboot 2003

23 Chapter 023: Tracking

It seems... Xu Lingling is still quite calm.

She probably hasn't figured out what's going on, and there's nothing she can do about it. After all, she's really only eight years old. What do eight-year-olds know?

In the end, she was still asking Chen Qin: "Chen Qin... When will Dad come back?"

Chen Qin could only tell her: "I can't tell, but your father will definitely come back."

At this time, there was nothing else to say. Fortunately, Xu Lingling believed it, and she really showed a relieved expression.

She also optimistically said to Chen Qin: "I don't know when Dad will come back. If you want to use the computer, Chen Qin, you can come to my house. My grandma is very talkative!"

...you are such a filial daughter.

Chen Qin grinned, but didn't say much,
He originally planned to finish it off and stop surfing the Internet for a while, but this time Xu Lingling's father left... In a sense, it was indeed a good thing for him.

But at the same time, Chen Qin also noticed a subtle sense of disobedience.

Of course, for Chen Qin at this moment, this feeling is not very clear. Next, Xu Lingling is in a good mood, and today she went to play marbles with Chen Qin...

The last time I played this was more than ten days ago. That time Xu Lingling played for a while and then went back. Although the two played alone, it was the first time to play this again in school.

But Xu Lingling seems to be very interested today.

He was also very attentive when playing marbles, and even hit Song Ziyun's marbles once.

He didn't leave halfway, and played until the end of the extracurricular activities, and he didn't dislike Chen Qin's improper attitude.

But here, Chen Qin finally noticed——

Not just him.

Even the others felt it, but it was just playing marbles, what was she so happy for?
Naturally, sports have their attractions, and marbles are similar, you will be happy if you hit others, nervous if you are hit by others, and angry when you see Song Ziyun playing tricks.

However, Xu Lingling didn't know why she was very happy. She was very happy when she hit someone else, and she was also very happy when she was hit. Seeing Song Ziyun playing treasure, she also ran up to fool around, and even dragged Chen Qin along, which made everyone a little puzzled...

Of course Chen Qin also felt it, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything, and he still played with Xu Lingling until the end of the extracurricular activities.When they went back, Xu Lingling staggered in front, still looking very happy.

At this time, a child asked him: "Chen Qin, you stayed with Xu Lingling before, did she get stimulated by something?"

Chen Qin handed him a dollar and warned in a low voice, "For everyone's benefit, don't talk nonsense."

One dollar is not the point, but although the child is not serious, he probably knows what to say and what not to say at this time.In short, this kid is honest. When someone was talking about Xu Lingling when he returned to the classroom, he jumped out to change the topic. The method was a bit clumsy, but it was useful.

But... After all, paper can't contain fire, and the problem appeared faster than Chen Qin expected.

Just after the day's extracurricular activities, the last small self-study.

Teacher Xiao Meng came to count the number of people as usual, and after she finished, she glanced at the classroom: "You guys wait for a while, Xu Lingfei, come with me."

When talking, Teacher Xiaomeng seemed a little nervous. As a new teacher, she seemed to be a little hesitant at the moment, as if she was facing a problem that she didn't know if she could solve it. As a teacher, she showed a timid expression instead.

Chen Qin already had that premonition, so after Teacher Xiao Meng took Xu Lingling out, the monitor stood up to maintain order, but Chen Qin himself got up and followed out together.

In the corridor outside the classroom, through two layers of glass, Chen Qin saw Teacher Xiao Meng leading Xu Lingling past the grade group office.

Looking over there at the corner, Teacher Xiao Meng led Xu Lingling to the teachers' lounge.

Maybe it's because the teachers' lounge is relatively quiet, so I plan to use it as a place for conversation?
"Chen Qin, what are you doing here?"

Min Xiaoya, the study committee member, came over with a stack of homework, and Chen Qin involuntarily made a "shh" gesture to her, and pushed Min Xiaoya to let her go.

And Chen Qin waited for a while, and was about to lean over to listen to what was being said inside.

But before he reached the door of the lounge, he saw that the door to the teachers' lounge that had just been closed was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Lingling rushed out with tears in her eyes, saw Chen Qin head-on, but pushed him hard, and after pushing him away, she rushed out from the gate of the teaching building.

And Teacher Xiaomeng chased after him: "Xu Lingfei!"

But just happened to bump into Chen Qin at the door.

"Chen Qin? Why are you here..."

"Ms. Meng, what's wrong with Xu Lingling?"

The young man looked at her with calm eyes, and his voice was octave higher, overshadowing her words.Teacher Meng panicked subconsciously: "No...no, I just asked her what's wrong..."

"Don't be in a hurry." Chen Qin said to her in a very sure tone, "Something happened to her at home recently, I will explain it to you later, and I will go and see her first."

"What about her?"

"Run off to school."

"This...how can this be done? I'll just..."

Teacher Xiaomeng was also a little flustered, Chen Qin probably guessed what happened just now - teacher Xiaomeng obviously didn't know what happened to Xu Lingling's family, and just asked Xu Lingling to ask, let's ask what happened first, but Xu Lingling ran out inexplicably...

"Teacher Meng!" The boy calmly reminded her, "Don't worry, I'll go after her now, and I'll explain to you slowly later, do you understand?"

"Ming...Understood!"

Teacher Xiaomeng subconsciously felt that this naughty boy was reliable, so he nodded unconsciously.

The next second, the school bell rang, and Chen Qin didn't care about Teacher Meng, and rushed back to the classroom, taking his and Xu Lingling's schoolbags.

Then I chased them out from the school gate. When I left the school gate, the guard shouted: "Hey, which class are you in? Why are everyone..."

Chen Qin didn't care, ran out of the school gate, crossed the road, and rushed across the street between the post office and the construction site, the wind blowing past his ears.

Go on, and you will reach the intersection—turn left to the printing factory compound, and turn right to the bus station.

Chen Qin continued to move forward, rushed in the direction of the small square, and came to the ramp in front of the park, where he saw the familiar bench.

Xu Lingling didn't do anything else, she just sat on a chair and cried, just like that day.

"Xu Lingling!"

Chen Qin rushed over, threw his schoolbag on the bench, and grabbed Xu Lingling's shoulder: "Don't run alone, have you forgotten what I told you that day? We are childhood sweethearts, no matter what, I will always be with you."

But Xu Lingling gritted her teeth and pushed Chen Qin away forcefully with a decisive look she had never seen before.

With tears still on her face, she shouted viciously to Chen Qin: "I don't want it, you are lying to me just like them! My mother ran away with someone, and my father went to find her. They will never come back again!"
