Chapter 401: Coincidence or Intention
"What's wrong with me?" the man asked blankly.
"Uh......" Qiao Xihe's heart flickered inexplicably, "It's nothing, nothing!"
She took a step back and quickly closed the door.
The loud sound of "bang" startled Pei Tingyuan, who had just come out of the bathroom.
"Jojo?"
"Ting Yuan. Qiao Xihe rushed to him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and said, "I...... I saw that Eric again. ”
Pei Tingyuan frowned, walked quickly to the window, and glanced outside.
The man was walking across the soft sand with his luggage on the side to the cabin.
He could only see his back, not the man's face.
Qiao Xihao stood beside him and said uneasily: "I think something is wrong...... Why...... How about meeting this man so coincidentally?"
If it had been put in the past, she would really have thought it was a coincidence.
After all, the world is so big, you can see all kinds of coincidences from the Internet and TV.
Pei Tingyuan also felt that this matter was strange, he turned around, picked up a T-shirt and beach pants on the boat, and then opened the door of the cabin.
"I'm going to meet the man. As long as you know what he looks like and what he really is, it will be very easy to investigate his origins. ”
"Be careful. Qiao Xihe said uneasily.
For various reasons, they came to Seychelles alone, without any secretarial assistants or bodyguards.
"Don't worry, when I go out, you lock the door, and don't open the door unless I come. Pei Tingyuan squeezed Qiao Xihe's hand, then closed the door and strode towards the man.
Qiao Xihe hurriedly locked the door, and then grabbed her mobile phone, as long as there was anything abnormal, she immediately contacted the hotel and the local police.
She looked at Pei Tingyuan and shouted at the man, what the two of them were saying, but she couldn't hear a word, and she couldn't help but panic in her heart.
Is this man's repeated appearance really a coincidence, or is it intentionally arranged?
I don't know how long it took, but she finally saw Pei Tingyuan and the man smiling and waving their hands, and then returned to the cabin.
"How's it going?" she asked hurriedly.
Pei Tingyuan said: "His name is Eric, and he is an overseas Chinese living in the UK. This time I came to Seychelles, and I booked it with my girlfriend half a year ago. Unfortunately, his girlfriend died of leukemia a month ago, and this time, he came here with a photo of his girlfriend to fulfill his original promise. ”
“…… What a sad story. Qiao Xihe said in a low voice: "But...... Is this true?"
Pei Tingyuan said: "After the investigation, I found out. And...... I think this man is a little familiar. ”
"You've seen it before, too?"
Pei Tingyuan shook his head, "I just feel familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it." He approached Qiao Xihe and put one hand around her shoulder, "I'll go and ask someone to investigate this matter, so that we can play here with peace of mind." Now, don't think about it, get some rest, and we'll go to the campfire in the evening. ”
"Good. Qiao Xihe rubbed in his arms.
The two lay on the bed, cuddled together, and gradually fell asleep.
In the evening, after dinner, Qiao Xihe and Pei Tingyuan walked on the beach together, the cool sea breeze blew, dissipated the heat of the day, took off their shoes, stepped on the soft sand, and the sand still had the residual temperature after the sun, which also made people feel comfortable.
The waves crashed up, rushed over the instep, and gradually retreated into the deep sea, Qiao Xihe couldn't help but grab Pei Tingyuan's hand, and walked towards the sea, so that the sea water could just pass the instep.
"It's so comfortable, isn't it?" Qiao Xihe asked, turning back and smiling at Pei Tingyuan.
Pei Tingyuan pressed the camera shutter in his hand to record every beautiful moment of Qiao Xihe.
"Yes. He said.
Qiao Xihe let go of Pei Tingyuan's hand and ran in the shallow sea area to her heart's content, the wind blowing her hair and the hem of her colorful long skirt, happy as a bird.
Pei Tingyuan's hand that pressed the shutter was about to stop.
"Eh, Pei Tingyuan, look! Is this a conch?" Qiao Xihe stepped on something awkward, picked it up and saw that it was a white conch with a light yellow pattern, she raised it and waved at Pei Tingyuan, as if she had picked up a treasure.
"Didn't you say that you can hear the sound of the sea from the conch, you try?" Pei Tingyuan said with a smile.
Qiao Xihe took the conch, looked at it again and again, and then put it to his ear, listening intently to the sound inside.
Pei Tingyuan took advantage of her inattention, leaned next to the conch, and whispered, "Qiao Xihe, I love you." ”
"Huh?!" Qiao Xihe was startled, raised the conch and looked at it again, "I can't be hallucinating, right?"
Pei Tingyuan pretended not to have done anything, and asked with a concerned face, "What hallucination?"
Qiao Xihe stared at the conch, "I heard a voice in the conch, saying......"
She immediately closed her mouth, how embarrassed she was to say such shy words in person.
Pei Tingyuan said: "What did you say?"
"Wait, I'll hear again. Qiao Xihe put the conch to his ear again, thinking that maybe it was Pei Tingyuan who said too much sweetly just now, so he hallucinated.
Pei Tingyuan saw her squinting eyes, so he quietly leaned over again.
"Qiao Xihe, I love you......"
Qiao Xihe's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of incredulity.
"Really, really......" she stammered, believing that it was not her hallucination, she really heard Pei Tingyuan's voice saying "I love you" from the conch.
Pei Tingyuan asked, "What is really?"
Qiao Xihe and Pei Tingyuan's eyes collided, his cheeks suddenly turned red, and he said, "That's it...... Inside the conch, there really is the sound of the sea?"
"I see. Pei Tingyuan touched her hair.
Qiao Xihe smiled, and stuffed the conch into the small woven bag he carried with him like a baby.
Pei Tingyuan said: "Hide it so quickly, don't you want to listen to the sound of the sea?"
Qiao Xihe pointed to the depths of the sea, "Now, listen!"
Pei Tingyuan wouldn't let her get away with it like this, and reached out to grab the conch in her small bag, "Quick, listen to me." I've never heard of it when I'm so old. ”
“…… No, no, no. Qiao Xihe took care of her small bag, such a magical treasure thing, she had to keep it herself. If Pei Tingyuan heard it, he thought it was too strange and confiscated it.
"Qiaoqiao, ......," Pei Tingyuan said in a pleading tone.
As soon as he changed his tone, Qiao Xihe couldn't stand it.
Just when she was a little stunned, Pei Tingyuan took out the conch in the small bag and put it to her ear.
"Pei Tingyuan!" Qiao Xihe hurriedly grabbed it, but the height difference made her unable to reach the conch in Pei Tingyuan's hand at all.
"Wait......" Pei Tingyuan raised his middle finger and put it on his lips, "I heard a voice." ”
Qiao Xihe's heart trembled, "What?"
