Chapter 127 Don't be impulsive

"Hu Ling'er?" Li Xiaohong was a little surprised.

"Yes, Hu Ling'er!" Ma Junjie replied again.

Li Xiaohong finally made up her mind and said bluntly,

"Ah Jie, are you going to find her?"

Ma Junjie also spoke frankly and openly.

"Yes, Sister Hong, I want to go see her!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaohong frowned slightly.

She seemed conflicted and reluctant to talk about it.

Ma Junjie noticed Li Xiaohong's hesitation.

Said,

"Sister Hong, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it!"

"I won't force you; I'll think of another way!"

After saying that, Ma Junjie turned and left.

Just as I was taking a step to leave, Li Xiaohong suddenly called out from behind.

"Ah Jie, wait a minute!"

"Ah Jie, why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I wouldn't tell you!"

Ma Junjie smiled faintly.

"Sister Hong, thank you so much!"

Li Xiaohong let out a soft "Oh dear," and sighed.

"Ah Jie, I didn't want to say it at first..."

"Because Hu Ling'er's family is quite special, I..."

Ma Junjie noticed that Li Xiaohong's expression was somewhat complicated, and he stared intently at her.

"Sister Hong, what's wrong with her?"

Li Xiaohong sighed.

"Oh well, it's all fate!"

"Like you and me, we are also people with tragic fates, and now, we have no right to pity Hu Ling'er!"

"Ah Jie, if you really want to go, then go and see!"

"But Sister Hong advises you, it's okay to go and take a look, but please, please don't act impulsively!"

Ma Junjie didn't understand her meaning and guessed that Li Xiaohong might be worried that he would get into a fight.

So he replied,

"Sister Hong, you can rest assured about that!"

"I am actually a very gentle person and I don't like violence. I won't offend others unless they offend me!"

Li Xiaohong shook her head after hearing this, seemingly unsure of what to say.

He just kept his head down, typing away on his phone.

After a while, she looked up and said,

"Ah Jie, check your phone, I've sent you the address via text message!"

Ma Junjie took out his phone, turned on the screen, and looked at it.

Sure enough, a text message notification appeared.

The address written on it was one I wasn't very familiar with.

He quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Sister Hong, thank you so much!"

Li Xiaohong glanced at Ma Junjie's phone.

He exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, Ma Junjie, you've only been here for less than a month, and you've already got such a nice phone?"

"You...you're so rich?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie gave an awkward smile.

After thinking about it, I answered.

"Sister Hong... this phone belongs to a friend, I... I'd like to borrow it for a bit!"

"Tch, that's more like it!" Li Xiaohong said, as if it were expected.

She said,

"Ah Jie, I won't bother you any longer. You should get some rest; I have to go back to the shop for my night shift!"

Ma Junjie responded with an "Mmm".

"Sister Hong, take a rest!"

"goodbye!"

Li Xiaohong turned around, raised her hand and waved.

"goodbye!"

Ma Junjie watched Li Xiaohong's retreating figure and couldn't help but smile.

these people,

They are all friends on my life's journey, and they are worth remembering.

Ma Junjie glanced down at his phone; it was already past 11 p.m.

He yawned, turned around, and went back to his dormitory.

When we got to the dorm, most people were still playing on their phones.

Ma Junjie was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

I fell asleep in a daze the next day.

Ma Junjie felt someone pushing him.

At the same time, faint sounds could be heard coming from there.

"Brother Jie, Brother Jie?"

Ma Junjie suddenly opened his eyes and looked...

He saw Gian grinning at him.

Ma Junjie was startled when he suddenly saw Pang Hu's greasy mouth.

He sat up directly.

He shouted,

"Gian, you scared me to death this early in the morning!"

Fat Tiger looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and chuckled.

"Brother Jie, I'm...sorry..."

"I was worried that the rice noodles I bought for you would spoil if they soaked for too long, so I wanted to wake you up to eat them."

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie

His anger subsided by more than half.

Looking again at Gian's hand, he was indeed holding a bowl of noodles.

he said,

"Okay, okay, I'll get up, I'll get up!"

"Fat Tiger, hold this for me for now, I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face!"

"Alright!" Fat Tiger seemed very happy, turned around and went back to his bedside, sitting and waiting for Ma Junjie.

Ma Junjie shook his head and gave a wry smile.

He picked up his phone and checked the time.

At eight o'clock in the morning,

Not too early, not too late, just right.

He got out of bed and went to the bathroom next to the balcony to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Then he changed into clean clothes and walked over to Gian.

"Gian, give it to me!"

"Okay, Brother Jie, here you go!"

Ma Junjie took the powder from Pang Hu and said...

"Thanks, Gian!"

"You're so kind of you, remembering me even at breakfast this morning!"

Gian was very happy to hear that.

"Brother Jie, I'm so grateful to you for taking me and Wang Xiaohua out for a big meal last time!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie recalled the dinner Liu Jialing had treated him to last time.

smiled,

"Fat Tiger, Manager Liu treated us last time, next time, I'll treat you alone!"

"Okay, Brother Jie, thank you!"

Ma Junjie chuckled and lowered his head to start eating his noodles.

The noodles were finished in no time.

Ma Junjie wiped his mouth, remembering something important.

He took out his phone and opened the text message interface.

I found the text message Li Xiaohong sent me last night.

The sign reads: "The innermost few words of the second alley on Donghu Road, Jiumenzhai".

Ma Junjie pondered,

I've never been to this place before, and I'm unfamiliar with it. What if I can't find it right away?

At this moment, Fat Tiger suddenly asked,

"Brother Jie, what are you looking at?"

"Brother Jie, what are your plans for the future?"

Ma Junjie looked up at Pang Hu, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Fat Tiger, are you familiar with the Tiger Gate area?"

Fat Tiger was taken aback, then answered with unusual seriousness.

"Brother Jie, have you forgotten what I told you before? I've been working here with my parents since I was a few years old. I'm a second-generation migrant worker!"

"Humen is practically my hometown; I know every place here except for the really remote ones!"

Ma Junjie looked delighted.

He patted Fat Tiger.

"Haha, okay then!"

"Fat Tiger, come on, I need your help today, take me here!"

Fat Tiger was a little confused and asked...

"Brother Jie, where are we going?"

Ma Junjie handed over the phone.

"Look, right here!"

Fat Tiger took the phone and looked at the screen.

Just a few seconds later,

Gian grinned.

"Haha, Brother Jie, this is like a sesame seed falling into the eye of a needle—it's an incredible coincidence!"

"I know this place very well; it's where I used to rent!"

Ma Junjie laughed.

"Okay, okay!"

"Gian, let's set off right away!"

"I'm going to find someone, a mysterious woman!"
