Qin Lu smiled lightly and said, "I'm a little bored to celebrate the New Year by myself, and when I saw the message you sent, I couldn't help but call you." ”

"Are you spending the New Year alone? What about uncles and aunts, aren't they with you?"

Although Chu Xi didn't know much about Qin Lu's family, she still knew the news that his parents were alive and even university professors.

"They traveled abroad a few years ago, and now they can't help them when they come back to the situation in Seoul, and maybe they will worry about them, so I didn't let them come back. ”

"That'...... Can you do it alone?" Chu Xi hesitated but still asked.

"It's fine. ”

When the words fell, the two ends of the phone were quiet for a moment, and both of them seemed to know what not to say, even the two of them who were as calm as Chu Xi and Qin Lu felt a little embarrassed.

Chu Xi thought of his cheap brother, so he couldn't help but take him as a topic, "My brother is also in Seoul now, I heard him say that the current situation over there is a bit serious?"

"Your brother didn't go back?!"

"He was so busy with work that he locked down the city before he could come back. ”

Qin Lu on the other side of the phone heard Chu Xi say that her brother couldn't come back before the lockdown because he was busy with work, and he had a somewhat puzzled attitude.

Although the outside world has widely noticed that the news of Seoul has started since the lockdown of Seoul, the people living in Seoul still know some news, although not many people paid attention to it at the beginning, and not many people know that the new crown pneumonia will spread from person to person, but people living in Seoul can detect some abnormalities and solemnity.

No matter how busy he was at work, Chu Xi's brother should not be willing to risk his life and continue to stay in Seoul on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.

However, now Qin Lu is still only in the speculation stage about Chu Xi's brother, and it is inconvenient for him to say many things, so he just asked Chu Xi for Chu Chen's address.

Although Chu Xi didn't know what Qin Lu wanted the address for, he still said it truthfully.

Because the two hadn't been in touch for a long time, they didn't know what to say after saying this, so they hung up the phone after saying a brief goodbye.

Although the phone call was short, Chu Xi was still in a much better mood because of this phone call, and although the curvature of the corners of his mouth was light, it never fell.

The sound of the Spring Festival Gala on TV, the occasional sound of firecrackers in the village, and the barking of dogs in the distance could no longer enter her ears, and her thoughts drifted back firmly to the late summer more than five years ago.

......

In the summer of 2014, Chu Xi's college entrance examination results were very good, and he was among the top 20 in the entire county.

When applying for the volunteer, in accordance with her parents' wishes to let her study medicine, she applied for several universities majoring in medicine, and was finally admitted to Haicheng Medical University.

When she became a freshman at Haicheng Medical University, Qin Lu was already a junior at Haicheng University of Journalism and Media.

Although the two went to college in the same city, in a city like Haicheng, where they are not big or small, because their schools and majors are different, if it were not for a coincidence, they might not have crossed paths in their lives.

At that time, Lu Yangyang, a high school classmate with whom Chu Xi had a good relationship, was admitted to the prosperous city of Haicheng with her, the two were fellow villagers, and it was the first time they came to the city of Haicheng, so the two usually had a lot of contact.

Lu Yangyang often goes to find Chu Xi, and Chu Xi occasionally goes to Haicheng University of Journalism and Media, where Lu Yangyang is studying, to find her......

Lu Yangyang has a lively personality, and after military training, she joined the student union of the school, and her birthday was the last Saturday before the 11th Golden Week.

When Chu Xi came to find Lu Yangyang, she caught up with the student union dinner, because it was the first time the student union had a dinner this semester, and Lu Yangyang wanted to meet her senior who had just stepped down from the position of president of the student union and was passed on by everyone very magically, so she didn't want to miss this dinner, so she "forced" to pull Chu Xi with her.

Although Qin Lu, who was just a junior at the time, had retired from the position of president of the student union, he couldn't bear the enthusiasm of his younger brothers and sisters, so he still went to participate in this dinner.

Everyone first gathered at the place where the student union usually meets, and it was there that Chu Xi met Qin Lu for the first time.

As an outsider, she has been staying in a corner silently watching the frolicking crowd, looking at the boy who was surrounded by everyone in the center of the crowd like the stars holding the moon.

Although the corners of the boy's mouth had been raised gently and appropriately, Chu Xi felt that his smile revealed a sense of alienation......

Maybe because of the height advantage, even though he was surrounded by a group of people in the center of the crowd, Qin Lu still saw Chu Xi sitting obediently in the corner.

Chu Xi's eyes were also on him, but there was no pursuit, affection, or worship in her eyes, but more curiosity, incomprehension, and inquiry, as if she was very interested in herself as a person, interested in the inside under his appearance.

Looking at such eyes, Qin Lu was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly at Chu Xi.

Although Chu Xi saw Qin Lu nodding in her direction, she didn't think that the object of his nod was herself, after all, there were several people standing in front of her, so she didn't think much about it.

Later, when she heard someone call him "Senior Qin Lu", she knew that the boy's name was Qin Lu.

The members of the student council ordered a large private room near Haichuan University, and in order to get to know each other, the newly promoted president asked everyone to introduce themselves one by one in order.

Chu Xi was not a member of the student union, and when it came to her, she was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Only then did the new president notice this unfamiliar face who had no impression at all, and in the face of this strange girl who was so simple that he was a little dirty, he directly initiated a question, "This doesn't seem to be a member of the student union, right?"

The tone of the new president was not very good, although Lu Yangyang was a little scared, but Chu Xi was brought by her after all, so she relieved the siege and said: "This is my friend, she came to me today, so I brought her over." ”

The new president didn't seem to be very happy, and when Chu Xi didn't know how to speak, Qin Lu said: "The student union is supposed to deal with all the students and teachers, we welcome all the friends of the student union members, today is the first dinner of the new semester of the student union, there are people from the non-student union to help us witness, it is also everyone's fate, I hope everyone can relax and have fun today." ”

Because of Qin Lu's "interjection", the matter was over, and the rest of the people continued to introduce themselves in an orderly manner, but Chu Xi didn't listen to a word.

When everyone was immersed in food and chatting, Chu Xi couldn't help but look at the boy opposite her, who was basically a man.

From this time on, Chu Xi really remembered Qin Lu's appearance-

A fresh and clean short hair, a slightly whiter complexion than a healthy wheat color, the facial features are well distributed on the angular face, the sword eyebrows are thick but not messy, and the deep eye sockets are inlaid with black grape-like eyes, which are not particularly large, but they are bright, and the high nose bridge has improved the three-dimensional degree of the face a lot.

This is a well-combined face, which has both the fortitude of a man and the youthfulness of a boy, and because of his gentle temperament, it adds a touch of gentleness to him.

No wonder as soon as he appeared, these girls in the student union couldn't help but scream and lose their voices, and their hearts were overflowing, he did have the capital to make girls intoxicated by him.

......

After the meal, Chu Xi asked Lu Yangyang to accompany her and leave as soon as possible.

Because they hadn't come out much in the previous nearly a month of military training, the two went around and played all afternoon.

Because Lu Yangyang's roommate helped her celebrate her birthday in the evening, Chu Xi didn't want to get involved, so after buying a birthday gift for Lu Yangyang, he separated from her.

When the evening sunset fell on Haicheng, and the bustling city was covered with a hazy veil and the beauty was particularly dazzling, Chu Xi only felt that this city was extremely unfamiliar.

When she came at noon, she and Lu Yangyang came by taxi, but at night she was alone, so she was reluctant to take a taxi again.

After checking the route introduction on the stop sign, Chu Xi resolutely got on the bus.

However, this trip was delayed in arriving at the transfer site, Chu Xi felt that something was wrong, and only after asking the driver did he know that he was sitting in the opposite direction.

So at the next stop, she hurriedly got off the bus.

However, in the face of the slightly dark and desolate surroundings, she was frightened for no reason, and hurriedly ran to the stop sign across the street to wait for the train.

However, there are not many buses this time, and it seems that there are only one bus every 20 minutes.

When she waited left and right, another boy of her age also came to wait for the bus, but the boy didn't wait too long, muttered a few words about why he hadn't come yet, didn't wait, and left.

It's just that this boy walked around and left from behind Chu Xi.

Chu Xi was alone in a strange place, and her vigilance was already very strong, and when this boy slowly passed behind her, she instantly felt that her backpack had become lighter, and a word popped up in her mind at that time, thief.

However, she was not sure about her conjecture.

After the boy left briskly, she immediately flipped over her backpack to check, and when she saw that there was a cut at the bottom of the bag, and her wallet was gone, she was already very sure of the boy's identity.

She wanted to shout for the thief immediately, but she didn't immediately shout because she was afraid that he had an accomplice, or because she was worried that the boy would run away and never get his wallet back.

When she saw one or two passers-by in the distance, she relieved her worries and hurriedly ran forward to chase the boy.

When she was about to run to the boy, she shouted, "Catch the thief, catch the thief, help catch the thief, help stop him!"

Although the boy walked a little faster after he succeeded, he didn't dare to run in order not to attract Chu Xi's attention, so Chu Xi ran for a while and was not far from him, and after he heard Chu Xi shouting to catch the thief, he immediately pulled out his legs and ran away, but the distance between him and Chu Xi was still not far.

Chu Xi dared to chase the thief so blatantly only when he saw passers-by on the road, but although the occasional passers-by on the road heard Chu Xi's shouts, no one stood up to help.

Just when Chu Xi was about to catch up with the boy, an electric car stopped next to the boy, and after the boy got into the car quickly, the car drove away.

Although it was just an electric car, Chu Xi still couldn't catch up, but she didn't give up, and still shouted while chasing, "Catch the thief, help catch the thief!"

However, no one helped her stop the electric car, and no one helped her chase the electric car, Chu Xi could only watch the electric car get farther and farther away from her.

Just as sadness, disappointment, helplessness, and fatigue surrounded her, a mellow male voice that was slightly confused and worried suddenly sounded in her ears, "What's wrong?"

And the person who asked her was Qin Lu, who had just met at noon.

The moment Chu Xi saw Qin Lu, it was like a person who had been walking in the desert for three days and three nights saw a water source, and at that moment, Qin Lu seemed to be her savior.

It's just that Chu Xi didn't expect that as soon as he spoke, his voice was choked, "Before, the two people in the electric car in front of me are thieves, and my wallet ......"

Before Chu Xi finished his words, he heard a voice in his ears that almost dissipated due to rapid movement, "Wait for me." ”

was only two words, but it made Chu Xi's heart full of a sense of dependence for no reason.
