In late summer and late autumn, Hanzhong City, which is located in the plain, is cool in the morning and at night, and only the noon sun still brings a little summer heat.

Occasionally, the autumn wind blows through the tips of the leaves, blowing the persimmons that are just beginning to turn red on the branches, but they never fall.

The warm and gentle breeze of the day, the campus surrounded by greenery, full of tomato fruits and a slight fragrance of flowers, sprinkled with sunlight overhead from the gaps in the leaves...... It's pretty much the best season of the year at Hanzhong University.

It's a pity that in this best season, Ji Yiming is in a bad mood.

As a fourth-year student in the history department of Hanzhong University, he completed all credits and most of his certificates ahead of schedule. The entire senior year is only a graduation thesis that needs to be spent on it.

And as a well-known scholar, this kind of thing is not on his list of worries at all.

What really made Ji Yiming feel bad was his girlfriend who had only been dating for a long time...... Missing.

The phone is down, and the text messages are not returned.

QQ and WeChat not only did not have any movement, but after searching with other numbers, it actually showed that "the account has been cancelled", and the whole person completely disappeared into the social dimension, as if it had never existed.

"Jiang Zhiyou, Jiang Zhiyou...... What the hell are you doing?" Ji Yiming frowned, and came out of the office of the history department without finding anything, but ran into three or four girls in the same class who came to hand in the report.

"Hey, Ji Yiming, you finally appeared!"

"Legends, do you know that the class is about to explode? ”

As soon as they saw him, several girls instantly surged up with gossip on their faces, and their emotions exploded.

"Listen to those boys, the goddess Teacher Jiang was chased by you?" The leading short-haired girl patted him on the shoulder, and praised him with both hands at the same time: "Niu breaks the sky! I can't imagine that the great talent of our history department is about to graduate, and he can make such an earth-shattering feat." It's just a cry of gods and ghosts, the only one in ancient and modern times!"

"Luo Jing, please don't be surprised, okay?" Ji Yiming rubbed his eyebrows, he had to listen to the same words four or five times a day recently, and he had already been immune: "We and Jiang Lao...... Jiang Zhiyou's age is almost a few years old, regardless of the identities of teachers and students, they are all the same age, and there is nothing to make a fuss about when they are happy. ”

"Okay, okay, you're a great god, you're right. The girl named Luo Jing covered her mouth and chuckled, with a "I understand" expression: "Then what about your goddess Jiang, how about finding time to call out and invite everyone to dinner?" We promise not to shoot small videos and send them to Moments, Douyin, Volcano, Kuaishou or something. ”

Ji Yiming sighed: "It's been almost three days since I couldn't find anyone, and the phone was down and WeChat didn't reply." If it weren't for the department head saying that she had handed in her resignation letter a few days ago, I would have gone to the police. ”

"Huh?"

Several girls looked at each other, and only after a while did they start talking again: "No, is it because we are afraid that our secular world will not be able to accept forbidden love and become a runaway bride?"

"I don't think Mr. Jiang is a person who cares about the outside world. ”

"Yes, yes, Goddess Jiang, a transcendent existence that dares to love and hate, how can she be afraid of rumors. ”

"Didn't you ask her friends? Even if such a big living person resigns, it won't disappear from the world. As soon as Luo Jing finished speaking, she immediately reacted to herself: "Yes, Goddess Jiang is famous for not approaching people regardless of men and women, and I have never heard of any teacher she is friends with at school!"

Ji Yiming listened to the chatter of three or four girls, took a long breath and secretly lucked the family "internal strength" mental method, and then gradually suppressed the sense of anxiety: "It's convenient to ask you, when was the last time I saw Jiang Zhiyou?"

The girls quieted down and began to reminisce, and after a while, another round-faced girl with a comb on her hair suddenly remembered: "By the way, Mr. Jiang has a bachelor apartment in Wanda Plaza, and he lives in the same building as my cousin." Last Thursday or Friday, I bumped into her there, carrying a little Loewe suitcase...... It looks like you're waiting for a bus. ”

I went to Shanghai to play in the summer before last, and I saw a model in IFC that seemed to cost more than 30,000 yuan...... However, Goddess Jiang is notoriously low-key and luxurious, which is very in line with her temperament. ”

"My first degree is Peking University, and I am a doctor who came back from studying in the Ivy League. The attention of several girls shifted instantly: "The family is good, the income is high, of course I can afford this grade of taste." ”

"Yes, yes, you noticed that the last time the goddess wore that Van Cleef & Arpels four-leaf clover necklace, it was set with malachite. I see that the purchase price of the circle of friends is almost 40,000 yuan, and she has a temperament when she wears it. ”

The more the girls chatted, the more excited they became, Ji Yiming couldn't wait for a while, so he simply pulled the ball-headed girl out of the crowd: "Do you have the specific address over there in Wanda?"

The girl's name is Zhu Qianqian, although she is not in the same class as Ji Yiming, she often takes big classes together, and she is barely familiar.

"Don't worry, great god. She is also a warm-hearted person, and took out the phone from Xiao Kun's bag and opened WeChat: "I only know which one it is, I don't know the specific room number, I have to ask my cousin if I have noticed it before." ”

After a while, her cousin replied to WeChat in seconds, but Zhu Qianqian hesitated for a while before letting Ji Yiming take a photo of the address message and save it: "Then don't worry about me if I say a few more words." Regardless of the teacher-student relationship, in fact, there is a big class gap between Goddess Jiang and you...... You've been receiving poverty grants for the past four years, right? Our history department is not a major that can make a lot of money after graduation, do you really think that you are a goddess of this level with Teacher Jiang...... Is there a future?"

Seeing that the latter didn't speak, she smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, the words are a little ugly." But maybe she disappeared for a few days just to give both parties some time to think clearly, so that you can propose to break up on your own. ”

"Thanks for the advice. Ji Yiming wrote down the address, and only after thanking him did he explain more: "The situation between us...... It's not a sentence or two that can explain it. Anyway, I have to meet people first...... At least a few things to ask. ”

A few girls next to him stopped discussing, and Luo Jing pushed him with a smile: "Who can say clearly about this kind of thing, if it weren't for so many classmates seeing you making out in the library, no one would dare to believe that Goddess Jiang would be taken down by you Ji Yiming." Okay, okay, hurry up and find your love, we still have to hand in the book report. ”

Ji Yiming nodded, thanked Zhu Qianqian again before turning to leave.

The midday sun shines through the skylight of the department's office building on his shoulders, and although he is only wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white-washed T-shirt, he looks clean and fresh.

Several girls looked at his back, and after a while, they discussed again: "Don't say it, this Ji Yiming is poor but he doesn't have the slightest sense of embarrassment, and he looks better than most of the boys in our school...... Well, how do you describe it?"

"Leiluo, or the atmosphere. ”

"And poise. Hey, in fact, aside from his family background and identity, he and Mr. Jiang should be quite compatible. ”

……

……

Unlike other urban university towns that have moved to the outskirts of the city, Hanzhong University, the signature of Hanzhong University, is still sticking to its old campus in the city center, not too far from Wanda Plaza, another city center.

When Ji Yiming jogged to the apartment building where Zhu Qianqian gave the address, his breath was steady, and there was no sweat on his body.

——Practicing that set of ancestral "internal skills" since he was a child, he didn't have the strange power of flying eaves and walking on the wall in the novel, but it was somewhat different and strange.

No matter how strenuous the exercise or hot weather is, it will not make him sweat profusely and short of breath like an ordinary person, and this is one of the special effects.

Ji Yiming used his mind to control the imaginary "internal breath", from the hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, the Hand Yin Pericardial Meridian, the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, the Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, the Hand Sun Small Intestine Meridian, the Zu Yang Ming Stomach Meridian, the Zu Shao Yang Gall Meridian, the Zu Sun Bladder Meridian, the Zu Tai Yin Spleen Meridian, the Zu Shao Yin Liver Meridian, and the Zu Shao Yin and Kidney Meridian - these twelve meridians circulated in turn, and the originally slightly impatient mood quickly returned to normal.

In the past 20 years, it has become his subconscious habit to repeat the exercises from time to time.

This set of exercises is called "Taiyi Longevity Formula", which is said to have been passed down by the ancestors of the Ji family from the unsophisticated ancient times all the way to the present, and it is said that cultivating to the highest level can eat and drink dew and achieve immortality.

The irony is that Ji Yiming knows that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather, who have never met, all died young, and he didn't even live to be forty years old, but he looked like a short-lived ghost in a family.

……

……

Jiang Zhiyou's apartment is on the thirty-third floor, and while waiting for the elevator, Ji Yiming's fingertips slid and unconsciously looked at the limited number of group photos of the two on his mobile phone, and his heart was still full of many unresolved doubts.

In the group photo, Jiang Zhiyou has a stunning face that makes the teachers and students of the school worship her as a "goddess".

The skin is delicate and fair, exuding a faint ivory-like luster, and the facial features are gentle and delicate, even without any post-processing, it will not lose to the hard photos of any actress today.

The words "peerless beauty" could not be more appropriate to describe her.

According to the evaluation of the gossip girls in the class, Ji Yiming's appearance is only considered "handsome", and his temperament can score at most eighty or ninety points. It's just that his family is poor, and he has no special talents except for studying well, and he is barely able to meet the standard of "economic applicability" with today's universal view of mate selection.

Zhu Qianqian is right, such a goddess-level existence...... Why do you like yourself for no reason?

And it's still a reverse chase!

Looking back now, the whole thing was a little weird.

But in my memory, the two get along, even if they are not as affectionate as ordinary people in love. But that feeling of melting water and chords can't be faked in any way.

Ji Yiming had never been in love before, and the feeling of dating Jiang Zhiyou during this period almost met all the imaginary definitions of perfect love.

He was also 100% sure that the wonderful night at the Ace International Hotel four days ago was the first night for both of them.

After that night, Jiang Zhiyou completely evaporated from the world.

"3308, yes here. ”

The boutique apartments developed by Wanda are among the top in Hanzhong City in terms of location and quality. The corridor on the 33rd floor is covered with a clean carpet that does not make a sound when stepped on, and even when the doorbell is ringed, the sound is soft and pleasant.

Ji Yiming rang the doorbell three times and waited for dozens of seconds, but no one answered the door.

He sighed softly and was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed a black mark on the mat in the doorway.

This is...... Seal characters?

The Department of History of Donghua University has elective Chinese language courses, among which the ancient seal character is taught by Jiang Zhiyou, as a scholar Ji Yiming naturally has enough sensitivity to this font.

The work is stable and flat, reverse in and out, and the waves are distinct.

It is not an ordinary seal character, it is an inscription stone font specially engraved on the inscription in the Eastern Han Dynasty, also known as "seal".

- This is a "key" written in a seal.

Ji Yiming's heart moved slightly, he bent down and reached out to press it on the carpet where he was writing, and soon found a slight bulge.

Turning over the carpet, a lone key was in sight.
