Chapter 24: Where Are You?

In the afternoon, there were not many people.

Wu Baiyang took a sip of wine and leaned forward.

"Goddess Xiao, I did what you ordered, how do you want to repay me?"

After speaking, Wu Baiyang stretched out his hand and wanted to put it on Xia Xiaoxiao's hand.

Xia Xiaoxiao concealed the disgust in his heart, picked up the wine glass and avoided Wu Baiyang's hand.

"Brother Wu Shuai, I'll just say that you have the best way, toast you!"

Facing the daughter in front of him who met while playing with friends at night, Wu Baiyang has coveted her beauty for a long time, but he can't always get it. This time, Xia Xiaoxiao took the initiative to come to the door and cried to her how Zhuo Jiali "bullied" her, which aroused his machismo, vowed to protect Xia Xiaoxiao, and helped Xia Xiaoxiao give Zhuo Jiali a slap.

Xia Xiaoxiao had already understood Wu Baiyang's thoughts about himself, and this time Cen Shaokang learned through Rong Qianqian's inquiry that Zhuo Jiali was going to cooperate with Zhidao Technology, which was in Xia Xiaoxiao's arms. Of course, in the entire fabrication process of Zhuo Jiali's "bullying" of herself, Xia Xiaoxiao did not mention Cen Bowen at all. If you want a man who worships under his pomegranate skirt to work for himself, how can he tell his sweetheart the truth?

In all fairness, Wu Baiyang is also a self-made young talent, with high education and good looks, and has been in business for a few years, building Zhidao Technology into one of the top new media technology companies in Gaoning City. He usually talks a little, but he is really dead to Xia Xiaoxiao. However, with the rich and handsome Cen Bowen as the criterion for choosing a mate, other goods will not be able to enter Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes no matter what.

After clinking glasses and drinking them all, Xia Xiaoxiao took out a check and pushed it in front of Wu Baiyang.

"Brother Wu Shuai, you helped me, I won't let you suffer, here is compensation for not being able to do business with Zhenzhong, please smile." ”

Wu Baiyang glanced at the amount on the check, and sure enough, there was a pig in the family with a lot of money. He laughed twice and pushed the check back to Xia Xiaoxiao. In front of the woman you like, you still have to do enough for this style.

"No one is too much money, but I still have it. Besides, this is what I am willing to help you, not what I do with you. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at him with flashing eyes, and was reluctant to do so, so he had to put the check away.

"You're a friend who is interesting, come, let's go again!"

Shang Qingyuan carried Cen Bowen and searched for Zhuo Jiali along the way. Until I went to the door of Zhuo Jiali's house, I still didn't see any trace of her.

Cen Bowen kept calling Zhuo Jiali's mobile phone, but it was always turned off. Cen Bowen got out of the car and rang the doorbell of Zhuo Jiali's house, but no one responded.

Cen Bowen unbuttoned his suit, put his hands on his waist, looked around anxiously, and muttered to himself: "Where did she go?"

Shang Qingyuan got out of the car and walked to Cen Bowen's side to comfort him.

"Senior brother, don't worry, let's look elsewhere. ”

Cen Bowen couldn't say anything, raised his feet and got into the car, Shang Qingyuan hurriedly returned to the driver's seat and continued to search.

Zhuo Jiali held the box, walked aimlessly, and somehow walked to the school gate. Today was a school day, and there was no Cen Bowen to lead the way, and the security guards didn't let her in, so she had to wander the streets again.

walked around the school wall for most of the circle, and walked to the roadside shop not far from the back door of the school, the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows reflected the life on the roadside, and Zhuo Jiali's eyes were unconsciously attracted to it.

A group of young boys and girls are dancing in front of the mirror, neat movements, carefree smiles, and energetic atmosphere, which can't help but make her heart beat a little after a day of silence.

Seeing her outside the glass window for a long time, a cheerful girl in the dance studio pushed the door and walked out.

"Little sister, do you want to learn hip-hop dance?

Infected by the girl's sincerity for no reason, Zhuo Jiali nodded, and went into the dance studio to sit and watch.

The dance studio was mostly filled with teenage boys and girls, and one of them was a beautiful girl with curly brown hair who stood out in the crowd. Maybe it's because women's intuition is particularly keen, Zhuo Jiali feels that the brown-haired girl pays special attention to the boy leading the dance in front of her, and the natural light in her eyes is a bit like the feeling of looking at Cen Bowen by the lake.

Thinking of the taboo Cen Bowen again, Zhuo Jiali's heart was stabbed again.

From today onwards, these three words are afraid to disappear from my world completely. Zhuo Jiali's distracted gaze floated in the dancing crowd, as if there was only the formula of an inanimate machine swinging in her eyes.

After making the last handsome move, the boys and girls walked to the side to rest.

The boy who led the dance walked towards Zhuo Jiali and sat down next to her, looking up and drinking water, where his belongings were kept. The brown-haired girl also followed, sitting on the other side of the lead dancer, nervously pinching the strap of her schoolbag in her hand.

"Qi Yi, are you hot? I'm ...... I have tissues here. ”

"No need, the big man is still comfortable sweating a little, thank you, Cen Bomei!"

Zhuo Jiali couldn't help but turn her head to look at the brown-haired girl carefully, her name was so similar to the three words in her heart, was it some of his relatives? Immediately, Zhuo Jiali lowered her head slightly, she was really fascinated, and she had to contact him to speculate if she heard a similar name.

The young man is full of energy, and he doesn't rest for a while and goes on the field again. The brown-haired girl followed in the footsteps of the leading dancer and stepped on the stage with unlimited vitality.

Zhuo Jiali was embarrassed to sit here anymore, picked up the box and walked out of the dance room.

From morning to evening, without eating or drinking, Zhuo Jiali didn't know how far she had gone. When the last rays of sunlight disappear from the horizon and stand on the crowded street, Zhuo Jiali begins to miss her quiet nest, and there is nothing more appealing than hiding under the covers and sleeping in the bed.

Zhuo Jiali looked around, trying to figure out where she was, and then walked in the direction of home step by step.

Her feet were so sore that she couldn't bear it, so Zhuo Jiali simply took off her high heels and threw them into the box, walking slowly barefoot. On the streets at night, pedestrians are hurrying or shuttling around her, but who will notice that there is a barefoot woman walking lonely on the unknown road of life, even if she cares casually, who really cares?

What's more, in the eyes of others, Zhuo Jiali doesn't care at all, at this time, what can she care about?

Finally walked to the alley leading to the small home. Today, I don't know if the street lights in the alley are broken, and only the dim other side is lonely and silent.

Zhuo Jiali walked with her feelings with empty eyes, and unconsciously walked past the black shadow by the wall, and suddenly her arms seemed to be clamped by iron tongs and couldn't move, she instinctively reacted in pain and let go of the box in her arms. Before she could see what the black shadow was, her whole body was pulled into her thick chest, as if it was about to swallow and melt her whole body.

"It's good to come back!" Zhuo Jiali's ears sounded the familiar and unfamiliar soft voice, as if in a dream.

Suddenly, she was pushed away and her arms were clenched again.

"Where the hell have you been? Do you know I'm going to worry about you......? Stupid woman!"

The body that had been shaken by excitement was once again vigorously embraced into his arms.

"You stupid woman you love and hate......"

All the grievances and sadness of Zhuo Jiali were not covered up at this time, and all of them fell on this man's chest like a downpour.

Cen Bowen's heart at this moment, from the previous anger, anxiety, suffering, and collapse to the ecstasy of being lost and regained, he can't wait to integrate this woman into his blood.

Since the morning, he has searched almost the entire Gao Ning, but there is still no news of her. For a moment, he was really afraid that she would not be able to think of doing something stupid for a while, and the thought that she was gone forever was like an extremely high concentration of sulfuric acid, burning his internal organs and bones and skin.

"Where are you? Where are you......" Zhuo Jiali couldn't stop murmuring, and finally found an outlet for the hoarseness in her heart.

"I'm here!" Cen Bowen bowed his head and kissed Zhuo Jiali's hair. "I'm sorry, I'm here! I'm ......"

Zhuo Jiali was tired from crying, and she hadn't eaten for a day, her voice became lower and lower, and she fell asleep in Cen Bowen's warm arms.

Cen Bowen slowly sat down against the wall with gentle movements, and adjusted Zhuo Jiali to her comfortable position, and she slept peacefully in the crook of her arm. The night was getting deeper, almost no one walked on the road, Cen Bowen touched Zhuo Jiali's bare arms cold, he took off his suit jacket and put it on her, he was a little tired, gently leaned his head on her forehead, and the two of them slept on the ground in the shade of the alley.

Zhuo Jiali couldn't help but sneeze in a dream, and opened her eyes in a trance, and found herself sleeping on the street in Cen Bowen's arms, still wearing his clothes, and her face turned red in an instant, but fortunately, the lights were dim and she couldn't see it.

Zhuo Jiali's delicate movement woke Cen Bowen up, and his first reaction was to check whether Zhuo Jiali was still in his arms, facing Zhuo Jiali's pulse and eye waves.

"Awake?"

"Well, how did I sleep here?"

"Come, I'll take you home. ”

Cen Bowen cautiously wanted to help Zhuo Jiali up, Zhuo Jiali was mentally numb and didn't feel it before, but now she found that many places on the soles of her feet were worn out, and it hurt when she touched the ground hard, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "oops".

Cen Bowen realized that she was not wearing shoes, and scolded himself for negligence, bent down and put his hand behind her knees, and picked her up with all his might.

"I ...... I can walk on my own. ”

Zhuo Jiali just can't get rid of the habit of being hard-mouthed.

"Don't talk!"

Cen Bowen hugged her and walked in the direction of home.

"My box!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Finally walked to the door, Zhuo Jiali took out the key from her bag and gently opened the door with the cooperation of Cen Bowen.

"I'm here, I'm sorry for you, you...... You can go home. ”

Cen Bowen didn't let go of her, and carried her through the small garden and continued to walk into the house.

Zhuo Jiali beat his chest anxiously, and was afraid of waking Zhuo Laosan to see this inexplicable scene, so she lowered her voice and shouted.

"Alright, let me down!"

"If you quarrel again, I'll kiss you!"

This is more effective than anything else, Zhuo Jiali shook her head quickly, but she didn't dare to say half a word.
