This night, Xia Xiaoyi was a little irritable, and even his favorite American drama was updated, and he didn't have the desire to watch it.

She held her mobile phone in a daze for a long time, and finally opened her scarf and looked at Ah Jiu's last message seriously: I have something tomorrow and can't go to the appointment, I'm sorry.

Usually he always sends a lot of words in a croaking, sometimes the grammar is wrong, sometimes it is a typo, but the words can always be filled with joy.

Although after the two decided to meet, he spoke in a slightly different tone, and occasionally a little ambiguous, but the sense of happiness that belonged to him was never absent.

Xia Xiaoyi's fingers flexibly swiped the screen of the mobile phone, checked the chat history, and compared the differences in the words used before and after.

She couldn't prove whether this message was sent by Ah Jiu or not, and she only had a doubt in her heart. And, of course, there's a very rare sense of frustration, the frustration of being rejected.

This night, Xia Xiaoyi slept very shallowly, her consciousness was chaotic, and she woke up before dawn. Lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, still wondering whether to go or not.

——

Jiang Yichu, who took a cold shower, felt a lot more comfortable.

Looking at the time, it was only 5:40 in the morning, and there were still more than four hours before the agreed time.

He sat down at the end of the bed and lay down with a loud bang, thinking about something in his head, thinking about it, and laughing.

The distance between Maple City and Baicheng is not far, and he has been constantly running between the two cities for the past three days.

In addition to dealing with the affairs of the old mansion in Fengcheng, worshipping relatives, and checking the travel strategy of the ancient city of Yuchi, he also tirelessly ran to Baicheng.

Holding a map of Baicheng, he walked alone in a strange city, but he was not lonely at all, nor did he feel unfamiliar.

came to the high school where Liu Xian slanted, and stood at the door of the classroom where she used to study hard, imagining her hard work, full of energy and calm and frank appearance.

also found her part-time restaurant after the college entrance examination, standing outside, through the brown floor-to-ceiling glass, he saw her standing at the bar and talking to her colleagues in a low voice, and then holding the food to the guests with a straight posture.

Whether it is serving guests or cleaning up the dishes, she has a shallow smile on her face, and her slightly upturned mouth is very good-looking.

Xia Xiaoyi looked outside the restaurant once or twice, but saw that the sun was shining outside, the sky was blue and the clouds were turning, it was the kind of good weather that could make people feel happy.

At that time, she hadn't received the message that Ah Jiu couldn't go to the appointment, and her mood was also full of anticipation and joy.

So when Jiang Yichu saw the shallow happy smile on the corner of Xia Xiaoyi's mouth, he also smiled brightly, although he was far away, he could still see the stars shining in her eyes.

As soon as he thought of these pictures, Jiang Yichu's heart felt a warm feeling.

The first two days were to look at the girl from afar as if she had quenched her thirst. But in another four hours, she will be in front of her......

This kind of happiness surpasses everything in Jiang Yichu in the past nineteen years.

He likes it.

It was already dawn, and he grinned a bright smile, jumped up, hummed a tune softly, and lay down in front of the mirror to dress up very seriously.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Jiang Zhinan appear in the hotel lobby. Today he changed into a white shirt and a pair of jeans, which made his melancholy temperament particularly well.

Jiang Yichu didn't expect his cousin to appear, seeing that his clothes were the same as his own, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the glass wall next to him, reflecting his tall and sunny appearance, which was different from Jiang Zhinan's taste.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I'm going to Jade Pond too, let's go together. ”

Jiang Yichu only felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, so he nodded and said yes.

Jiang Zhinan: "Let's go have some breakfast first." ”

Jiang Yichu just wanted to say that the hotel had a buffet breakfast, but when he saw that Jiang Zhinan had already walked out of the door of the hotel, he didn't say anything more and followed quickly.

The two ate quietly, the atmosphere was a little inexplicable, and Jiang Yichu suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. The feeling of joy was diluted a little.

He glanced at Jiang Zhinan, and in his originally indifferent eyes, he didn't know why a trace of joy and pride appeared.

In short, the aura exuded by Jiang Zhinan today is completely different from yesterday.

Feeling Jiang Yichu's gaze, Jiang Zhinan also looked back at him: "What's the matter, I didn't rest well last night?"

"It's fine. ”

"Have you made an appointment with your friend?"

Jiang Yichu nodded.

Jiang Zhinan smiled slightly, pressed his shoulder, and did not speak.

The intercity bus station was right next to the hotel, and when they arrived at the ancient city of Yuchi, it was only an hour later, and there was only one hour left before the agreed time. And Jiang Zhinan has been staying by Jiang Yichu's side, and has no intention of leaving.

Jiang Yichu's excited heart was already overflowing, but Jiang Zhinan's presence by his side made him feel a little unnatural, so he asked half-tentatively: "Brother, did you also make an appointment with friends?"

"It's not. ”

"That ......"

Jiang Zhinan had already looked around, there was no Xia Xiaoyi, and he was a little proud in his heart, secretly laughing at his cousin's innocence.

He smiled suddenly, and said slowly, "I'm here instead of Xia Xiaoyi." ”

Although Jiang Yichu is not fluent in Mandarin, he also understands the meaning of his words. It's just that his cultivation keeps him calm at this moment.

Jiang Zhinan: "Let's go over there and talk, it's noisy here." He lifted his hand and pointed to a place.

Without waiting for Jiang Yichu to agree, he strode over. Jiang Yichu could only follow him, a little confused and depressed.

After walking for a few minutes, I came to the parking apron of the Yuchi Scenic Area Management Center, although it is not a place where tourists stop, but there is no one else except the staff of the scenic spot.

Jiang Zhinan walked through an empty corridor with an iron door at the end. There was a lock hanging on the door, and the lock was broken. He pushed open the iron door, revealing three small dilapidated garages separated inside.

Jiang Zhinan walked in first, Jiang Yichu stopped, although he didn't want to question his brother, but what had to be said in such a remote and uninhabited place?

Jiang Zhinan: "Don't come in?"

Jiang Yichu shook his head: "The time for me to meet with Slanting is coming, I want to meet her first." ”

Jiang Zhinan: "Are you a fool? She won't come today." ”

Jiang Yichu: "We made an appointment." ”

Jiang Zhinan: "She's my girlfriend, she's playing with you, can't you see it?"

Jiang Yichu's heart was still tightened after all, what came to his mind was Xia Xiaoyi who he met by chance that day, her eyes were so clear, her smile was so clean, and her appearance was as pure as the soul in her words.

He whispered: "She never said she had a boyfriend, even if you are in that relationship, she can meet like-minded friends." I'm sure the slant won't trick me. ”

Jiang Zhinan's eyes narrowed slightly, the original trace of pride was slowly receding, and his handsome facial features gradually became cold and hard.

"Don't talk about her, then let's talk about how the second uncle killed my mother, how about it?"
