I am not the black moonlight of the paranoid boss

Chapter 232 "I'm not hungry."

inside the car.

The scenery outside the window was changing, and after going back and forth like this, time passed unknowingly.

The sky gradually darkened.

Ye Ziqing propped one elbow on the edge of the car window, resting her chin lazily, watching the bustling neon lights on the roadside jumping up one after another. Buried in the road, hurrying.

The bright moon is half round above the head, hiding behind the towering floors, the light is covered by black clouds, hazy and dim.

Ye Ziqing half-closed her eyes, opened her mouth slightly and yawned.

Compared with her relaxed and natural posture, the teenager beside her is much more restrained.

His back was straight, his hands rested firmly on his knees, and he clenched into fists slightly, like a special soldier on a lurking mission, with a dignified expression, his eyes fell on a place straight ahead without blinking, holding his breath Observing carefully, the soft flesh in the lips was bitten imperceptibly between the teeth.

Uncle Lin glanced at the boy's serious posture and expression through the rearview mirror, and squinted at his eldest lady who was so sleepy that she wanted to lie down on the spot, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Ye Ziqing immediately withdrew her attention from looking at the scenery and asked him, "What are you laughing at, Uncle Lin?"

Uncle Lin smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it's funny to see Xiao Yi so nervous. Those who didn't know thought he was kidnapped by us."

Hearing this, Ye Ziqing turned to look at him.

This was the first time Ye Ziqing formally met him since getting in the car.

The girl blinked her eyes, as if she didn't quite understand the ups and downs of the boy's mood at this time, her voice was crisp and clear: "Are you nervous?"

"I..." As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice became extremely hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat, making him speechless.

Yi Chen clenched his fists lightly.

He cleared his throat, looked at the almost completely gloomy sky outside the window, and when he was about to speak, a cell phone rang.

It was Ye Ziqing's cell phone.

Ye Ziqing took out her mobile phone, looked down, and found that it was Aunt Yue.

She picked it up and asked with a smile, "Aunt Yue, what's the matter?"

"Yeah, the man has been found, and he is on the way to send his grandmother home now... I don't know when I will arrive home, Aunt Yue, wait a minute, I will ask Uncle Lin." Ye Zi said. Qing raised his head and asked Uncle Lin, "Uncle Lin, when can we go home?"

Uncle Lin pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on the expressway in front of him. Due to the climax of commuting, the traffic could not be more congested. On the long queue that moved two meters forward in an average of 10 minutes, he silently calculated the time in his mind and replied: " Maybe 08:30, or nine o'clock?"

Ye Ziqing nodded, and returned the call to He Yue with her usual expression.

The two chatted a few more words, probably telling them to pay attention to safety, not to drive too fast in order to go home in a hurry, take your time and not be in a hurry.

Ye Ziqing obediently responded.

Yi Chen looked at her indifferent look, and lowered his eyes slightly.

He Yue's phone call reminded Uncle Lin.

He raised his hand and groped under the empty seat next to him, took out a bag of snacks, handed it behind him without looking back, and said, "You two must be hungry after being stuck in traffic for so long? Come on, have some snacks first." Fill your belly with milk and bread."

It's okay if he doesn't say anything, Ye Ziqing's eyes lit up when he mentioned the word "hungry" and saw such a bag of snacks.

The flat stomach also growled.

Ye Ziqing was holding a bag full of snacks, and instead of being polite to him, she said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

After finishing speaking, she generously spread out the snack bag, placed it between the two of them, and said to the motionless boy, "Hurry up, let's eat together!"

Uncle Lin followed up and said, "Yes, don't be polite to Uncle!"

Yi Chen squeezed the knuckles of his fingers, shook his head, and said softly, "I'm not hungry."

As soon as the words fell, the stomach protested unconvinced.

Nonstop.

Yi Chen felt a little embarrassed, but his stomach cramped with hunger, making him extremely uncomfortable.

He frowned slightly and raised his hand to press his abdomen to relieve the pain.

Yesterday was Friday, usually on Friday, he would go back to his grandma's house after school, and after eating, he would go to Fruit Street to help her set up a stall, and then go home with grandma, stay for two days to take care of grandma, Zhou On the evening of the [-]nd, I waited for the last bus at a remote bus station, and returned to the classroom to participate in evening self-study while the school gate was closed.

Yesterday afternoon, the bus that was supposed to arrive at the bus station within half an hour after he finished school, but the bus that took him to his grandmother's house was a bit late due to some minor accidents on the road, and it was delayed for an hour and a half before it finally arrived. Long overdue.

So when he boarded the bus, it was already dark.

When he got back to his grandmother's house, another hour passed.

Grandma has finished packing and is about to set off to set up a stall on the fruit street with her things.

Seeing him coming, I was surprised: "I thought you had something to do, and you'll be staying at school this week and won't be coming back."

Yi Chen stared down at the concrete steps under his feet, and explained in a low voice: "The bus was late, so I came back late."

While packing up her things, grandma responded, "Okay, then I'll take my things to set up a stall first, the food..."

At this point, the movements of her hands suddenly stopped.

Yi Chen looked up at her if he felt something.

Facing the quiet gaze of her grandson, the grandmother smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I wanted to combine lunch and dinner into one meal, so I didn't cook at noon. Who knew that I was suddenly hungry at night and finished my portion?" I was still so hungry that I didn't see you coming back after waiting for a long time, and I couldn't get through the phone, so I thought you weren't coming back, so I ate your share of dinner..."

Yi Chen silently took out his mobile phone from his schoolbag, only to find that the mobile phone had automatically shut down due to low battery.

——Probably during the boring moment when he was waiting at the bus station, he played with his mobile phone a little too much, which consumed a lot of power, and when he was looking at his mobile phone, he accidentally looked up and saw the bus he needed to take, feeling a little anxious , didn't think too much, glanced at the time in a hurry, then subconsciously turned off the screen of the phone, put it in the school bag, and got in the car, so that the opened background was not closed, and the battery was automatically exhausted.

He remembered that when he got on the bus, there were so many people on that bus, it was very crowded, and he couldn't find a seat at all, and if he was not careful, he would step on others when he landed.

And he has always disliked physical contact with strangers, so he was even more cautious, standing with his hand on the railing, and had to endure the undisguised and amazing looks from the girls around him from time to time, and he had no chance to open his schoolbag and take it from inside. Check out the phone.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen withdrew his thoughts and explained again: "The phone is automatically turned off."
