Chapter 24: Revisiting the Ancient City (1)

Jiang Yichu pressed his temple, and after a while, he lit up his mobile phone again and dialed Xia Xiaoyi's number directly. A soft voice soon came from the other end of the line.

"Hello, who?"

"I, Jiang Yichu. ”

"Oh?"

"Let's meet. You decide the location, I'll go find you. ”

"Okay, I'm in the ancient city of Yuchi now. ”

"Okay, I'll be there soon. ”

After hanging up the phone, Xia Xiaoyi looked at the ancient buildings not far away, the home where people once lived, now it has become a historic site and is fenced off......

She stood at the gate, and somehow, suddenly she didn't want to go in.

Xia Xiaoyi's task this afternoon is to take some beautiful photos of this scenic spot, which is relatively simple, so she is not in a hurry.

I found a small shop not far from the gate, ordered a cup of tribute tea, turned on the computer, and waited for Jiang Yichu while working.

She sat by the window and looked up, which happened to be the parking apron of the scenic spot.

Before she knew it, she remembered what had happened here five years ago.

At that time, Jiang Zhinan was carried out of that place, she glanced at him hurriedly, and since then, he has disappeared.

And that day was also the saddest day of Xia Xiaoyi's entire adolescence. Ah Jiu, who had agreed to meet her, missed the appointment, and this appointment was lost for five years, and he disappeared......

She thought that she would forget the heartbeat on the Internet, and she thought that she would not want to set foot in the ancient city of Yuchi again in her lifetime.

But there are always times when life is unexpected.

When her boss decided to send her to Yuchi to participate in the tourism festival, she wanted to refuse. But at the same time, an email made her change her mind.

The email that had been interrupted for five years and had not been contacted again, the account that belonged to Ah Jiu, suddenly sent an email.

The letter said that he was sorry for missing the appointment five years ago, and now he has come to Yuchi again, and he wants to fulfill the agreement five years ago.

In the letter, Ah Jiu sent a sincere invitation to her, hoping that she could go to the agreement five years ago.

……

I'm also temperamental and principled, okay?

Xia Xiaoyi thought hatefully, she didn't reply to the email, just as if she had seen it, who knew that the other party sent a few more letters one after another, saying that no matter whether she came or not, he would attend as promised.

Xia Xiaoyi, who did not express his position, finally accepted the dispatch of his boss and came to Yuchi in the name of a business trip.

And after she finished the work of Xiaotaoxiang, she still came to this place that once made her sad alone.

Xia Xiaoyi, Xia Xiaoyi, you are so spineless!

Despite scolding herself silently in her heart, she still came and appeared quietly.

There was still more than an hour before Ah Jiu's agreed time, and this time, she didn't plan to appear in front of him.

She came to the covenant that belonged to her five years ago, not the covenant of Ah Jiu now.

Xia Xiaoyi was so relieved.

While tapping on the keyboard, I watched the tourists outside the window. Soon, she saw a tall and thin man in a mask walking towards her.

Xia Xiaoyi glanced at the shop, there were few customers in the store at this time, and it was very quiet. So she waved her hand at Jiang Yichu.

Nestled in the low sofa, Jiang Yichu was like a long-legged crab, with nowhere to put his limbs.

He took off his mask and lowered the brim of his hat a bit.

"I heard Bai Jian say, and the suspect said that I instructed it. ”

Xia Xiaoyi smiled slightly and asked, "How do you explain?"

Jiang Yichu shrugged: "It's not something I did, why explain?"

"No, I'm talking about photos. ”

The distance between the two is about 50 centimeters, and there is a laptop screen in between. Jiang Yichu looked at Xia Xiaoyi with a smile in his eyes.

"You don't think I have a crush on you or something, do you?"

Xia Xiaoyi shook her head, she closed the computer, and leaned forward slightly.

"Please explain the photograph. ”

Jiang Yichu stretched out his long arms, leaned back, and fell into the soft sofa.

"The night someone sent me to save you, was stolen by that person. ”

Xia Xiaoyi recalled the situation at that time and said: "That robber didn't approach you, how did he steal it? I'm afraid it will be difficult to clear your suspicion." ”

Jiang Yichu smiled silently and did not explain.

So Xia Xiaoyi asked again: "Who sent it to you?"

"I don't know. ”

After a period of silence, Xia Xiaoyi quietly drank milk tea. She was thinking in her mind, speculating, could the person in front of her really be Jiang Zhinan?

In terms of appearance, it is somewhat similar, but judging from his personal resume, Jiang Yichu grew up abroad.

If his resume is fake, it seems too perfect.

But if it weren't for him, why would there be so much overlapping information?

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Xiaoyi still decided to ask this question.

"Do you recognize Jiang Zhinan?"

Jiang Yichu lifted the brim of his hat, and a trace of extremely unrecognizable color flashed in his eyes.

"Who?"

Jiang Zhinan, born on April 4, 1995 in Fengcheng, Nanzhou, his only relative is his grandfather, who was in a car accident in Chizhou in 2013. ”

Xia Xiaoyi introduced Jiang Zhinan in the most concise sentences, and the information she revealed happened to be information points that completely overlapped with Jiang Yichu's public information.

She looked at him quietly, watching his eyes sink little by little, watching the lines at the corners of his mouth slowly tighten.

The corners of Xia Xiaoyi's mouth tugged slightly, and added, "Oh, he had a car accident here." ”

Jiang Yichu's eyes fell on the parking apron not far away, but his mind was empty, and he didn't have any associations.

After a moment of silence, he asked slowly, "What happened later?"

"Disappeared for five years. ”

Jiang Yichu smiled and said, "I don't know." ”

He had no impression of this place, but the photo he had just received inexplicably appeared in his mind: sixteen or seventeen-year-old Xia Xiaoyi, and the boy beside her.

Xia Xiaoyi looked at his eyes, clear and open. Although she had doubts, she didn't believe that the top star in front of her, who was favored by thousands of fans, would be the gangster of the day.

It's not so much not believing, but rather unwilling to belief.

She remembered Jiang Zhinan's attitude towards herself, and she also remembered the last time she saw him, blood stained his white shirt.

But five years have passed, and she doesn't care who the person in front of her is.

So, the conversation finally returned to the main line.

Xia Xiaoyi glanced out the window, there were groups of tourists, but there was no one alone.

"I told Miss Bai that as long as you come and talk to me, I will consider closing the case. ”

Jiang Yichu crossed his hands on the back of his head, also looked out the window, and said, "I don't care if you close the case or not, I don't care." ”

Xia Xiaoyi frowned and asked, "Then you still come to me?"

"I'd like someone to take me around the ancient city of Yuchi. ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Yichu grinned: "We have cooperated, you are a reporter, but you don't gossip or inquire, I think you should be a good candidate for a tour guide." ”

Xia Xiaoyi felt that three thick black lines hung from her head, so she said with a cold face: "I'm not familiar with this place. ”

"Okay," Jiang Yichu shrugged, obviously not caring, "Then I'll go in and play by myself." ”

He got up and left, very neat and refreshing, but before he walked out of the small shop, he first went to the cashier to settle the account.
