Chapter 16: Five Years Later, Who Are You in Spring?
Back at the hotel, Xia Xiaoyi, who had been holding on all the way, finally showed weakness.
She hid in the bathroom and washed for at least half an hour, constantly rinsing with shower gel, especially her hands, back and forth I don't know how many times, but she almost didn't rub off a layer of skin.
When I came out of the bathroom, my stomach was already rumbling with hunger. She nestled on the bed and opened the ordering app, looked around and didn't arouse her appetite, and finally had to get up and pick up the bowl in the room to fill the instant noodles.
When you are empty and depressed, it is still instant noodles that can comfort people the most, and it is sour sauerkraut noodles.
After eating the noodles, the steadiness of her stomach being filled finally made her feel more comfortable.
Thinking back to what happened in the evening, that feeling of panic has disappeared a lot. She knew that the police would definitely find out the robber, because in the process of recording, she intentionally or unintentionally revealed the purpose of her trip to Chizhou.
She is the representative of the new media center of Fengcheng Metropolis Daily and was invited to participate in the tourism activities of the Peach Blossom Festival in the ancient city of Yuchi. How she writes is very important for the ancient city, which has focused on tourism development in recent years and is rejuvenating.
Regaining her composure, she opened her laptop, processed a few emails from the Peach Blossom Festival Organizing Committee, and sorted out tomorrow's work before logging in to the scarf.
Qingmo sent two messages:
Xia Xia, didn't you eat Uncle Quan's signature dish cold water pork belly? ( ̄▽ ̄)/
There are still a lot of hidden delicacies in Yuchi, and I'll compile a list for you later. Hey, I wish I could be in Yuchi too...... I miss it so much.
Simple daily words, although they have never met, but they have become a pair of friends who have known each other for a long time after communicating on the Internet over the years.
The experience of the evening quickly passed through Xia Xiaoyi's mind again, and his brows frowned slightly. She typed and replied: I didn't eat, I was robbed on the way, and I just returned to the hotel.
After a few seconds, Qingmo knocked a sentence over: Are you okay?!
Xia Xiaoyi: I'm fine, I've already reported the case, but ......
She looked at the half sentence sent out for two seconds, and wondered in her heart: Should I say it or not?
Qingmo: But what?
Xia Xiaoyi: Nothing. I was a little tired and went to bed first. Good night.
Qing Mo on the other end of the computer paused for a few seconds before sending a reply: Rest well, good night.
Xia Xiaoyi directly crossed the upper right corner and closed the home page of the scarf.
Everything is silent, and the cold of early spring rises suddenly. Xia Xiaoyi's eyes were closed, as if he was in a fixed position, motionless.
During her entanglement with the robbers, she touched the other person's neck. In that moment, a picture came to her mind: a dilapidated alley, a cloaked street gear store crowded with a group of giggling young people.
In the corner, a man with long hair and a thin face lowered his voice and said, "Follow her, and when the time comes, I will give you instructions." Just scare and scare her, don't kill her. ”
Five years have passed, Xia Xiaoyi's special ability has not only not degraded, but has improved, and she can now see the picture more clearly, and even hear the dialogue in the scene clearly.
When she learned that the other party just wanted to "scare and scare" herself, she was somewhat fixed in her heart. But the brain soon discovered something strange: a strange man actually sent someone to follow him, and he only did it at a specific opportunity...... Is there a conspiracy and danger behind this?
Xia Xiaoyi didn't know when he offended someone, so he was stared at and chased like this. In an unfamiliar place, she can only hope that the police will help her from the predicament.
And at a certain moment when she was chatting with Qingmo just now, she had an urge to talk, but in the end she held back.
She never trusted anyone easily.
But at the moment when Jiang Yichu appeared, she subconsciously believed him. Although she was also wary and suspicious, in the end she chose to trust.
It's foolish to refuse a helping hand when you're in trouble......
As soon as he thought of Jiang Yichu, Xia Xiaoyi had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, a very familiar and vague impression.
In the era of entertainment to death, the iron-clad entertainment industry, and the flowing gods and goddesses. Although Xia Xiaoyi is not a star-chasing girl, she also knows Jiang Yichu, and even pays attention to him.
Within a year of his debut, he occupied the highest traffic, and there were reports about him everywhere. It's hard to avoid him completely.
But Xia Xiaoyi paid attention to Jiang Yichu completely because of his face.
"I used to think it was just a little god-like, but now I look like it, it's really similar. ”
Xia Xiaoyi muttered to himself, the mouse had already clicked on the search engine, and typed in the words "Jiang Yichu".
Click on the character encyclopedia, and all the information about him has been filled.
Date of birth: April 4, 1995
Ancestral hometown: Fengcheng, Nanzhou
Relative: Grandpa
Special experience: In 2013, he was in a car accident in Chizhou
Xia Xiaoyi's hand fell, this was the first time she searched for Jiang Yichu's information, and the information she got surprised her.
Five years ago, she asked a teenager in a white shirt: "You follow me every day, don't go to school, don't look for a job, and don't go home." Do you really have no home, no relatives?"
“…… I also have a grandfather. ”
It was also five years ago that when the teenager was lifted out of the scene of the car accident, Xia Xiaoyi saw that his white shirt was dyed red......
"On the same birthday, also from Maple City...... Jiang Yichu, Jiang Zhinan...... Is it really you?"
***
The most stylish homestay in the ancient city of Yuchi, Sheqiu Inn, has been contracted by the most popular variety show group at the moment. The security team is on guard on the inside and outside of the three floors, completely isolating the inn from the outside.
Jiang Yichu was arranged in the courtyard to the south.
At this time, there were only him and his agent Bai Jian in the room, and she looked at him unhappily: "How can you run out alone, if you meet those fanatical illegitimate fans, if something unpleasant happens, how much will it affect!"
"I have a photo missing, have you seen it?" Jiang Yichu lowered his head and flipped through the pile of luggage that appeared to be his, but was actually dragged by assistants and makeup artists, "Don't chatter, help me find it." ”
"What photo? Your parents' picture?"
"No, a girl's. Jiang Yichu's expression was a little irritable.
Bai Jian was stunned, and then said in a low voice, "...... Xiao Chu, you are now on the rise in your career, and the company does not allow you to make scandals. ”
"Forget it, you go out, I'll find it myself. ”
Bai Jian sighed and walked out of the room, leaving Jiang Yichu flipping everything in the room indiscriminately. However, a search was unfounded, and he stood in a pile of luggage, his hands hanging to his sides, his eyes glazed.
He kicked open the half-empty suitcase, pulled two things out of his trouser pocket, and sat down on the floor.
An old smartphone that has long been discontinued, the main interface is empty without any icons, only a photo of the girl's side face as the desktop, and two lines of words are written in the blank space next to it:
The car accident five years ago was not an accident, but a conspiracy.
Xia Xiaoyi, she is the key to everything.
……
Jiang Yichu looked at the phone quietly, the screen went off and lit up again, and so on, I don't know how long it took. All that was left in his eyes was the girl with the ponytail, and the pitch black, bottomless darkness......
Unconsciously, the girl's side face on the phone overlapped with the female reporter who was robbed in the evening.
In his left hand, he held the business card she handed him, which read:
Xia Xiaoyi
"Fengcheng Metropolis Daily" New Media Center
Xia Xiaoyi...... Who are you?
