"Hmm...... No...... Still not right......"

Zhou Wentao crumpled the sketch of the girl in front of him into a ball and threw it into the wastepaper basket, and around the paper basket, more than a dozen discarded paper balls had already piled up.

Why...... Why can't I draw it......

Zhou Wentao sighed, put down the pencil in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

The hazy blue-haired girl slowly appeared in front of him, but it was as illusory as a mirror, even if Zhou Wentao tried his best to recall, but he could not present a single inch on the drawing paper, at this time his mind was a mess, and the scenes he had experienced before were blocked in his heart, making him a little breathless.

Since the night of horror on the coastal road passed last night, Zhou Wentao has locked himself in the studio, not going anywhere, and not seeing anyone. Although Zhou Wentao is still nostalgic about the events of that night, he did not ask Ye Han or reveal half a word, because his intuition told him that this matter was not trivial, and in order not to involve other people, he was willing to keep all these troubles to himself.

Zhou Wentao sighed, and couldn't help but think of Jiang Yao, this gentle and rational best friend would always give him sincere advice when he was most confused, but now this best friend has not heard from him for more than half a month, and he has not even replied to a text message.

Xiao Ya ...... When will you be back? Ye Han seems to be doing something dangerous...... I...... What should I do?

"Ding ......"

Just thinking about it, the prompt sound of the mobile phone text message suddenly sounded, Zhou Wentao picked up the mobile phone and took a look, and found that the word "Jiang Yao" was written in the sender's column, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly clicked on the message, but at a glance, his face showed a puzzled look.

"Huh, what ......is this?"

……

"Boom la la ......"

Half an hour later, Zhou Wentao braved the surging night rain, held an umbrella, and hesitantly stood at the door of a remote teahouse.

"Hmm...... It must be around here, right?"

Zhou Wentao looked at the map location on the text message, and then clicked on Jiang Yao's name on the mobile phone, and typed a few words in the text message column:

"I've arrived. 】

"Ding ......"

A crisp text message prompt sounded from behind Zhou Wentao, Zhou Wentao was stunned for a moment, turned around as if he had a feeling, and saw a petite figure in a raincoat with his head bowed, standing silently behind him, and his face under the poncho hood was unrecognizable in the night.

"Uh...... That, may I ask who you ......are?" Zhou Wentao looked at the figure in front of him and opened his mouth tentatively, but saw that the figure suddenly took out a transparent bag from his pocket, and a text message flashed on the screen of the mobile phone in the bag, which was the one Zhou Wentao sent just now.

"Sure enough, it's Xiaoya's mobile phone! What the hell is this ......?"

"Let's find a place to sit down first. A soft and cold female voice came from the mouth of the figure in front of him, Zhou Wentao didn't expect the other party to be a girl, and in addition to being surprised, he suddenly realized that it was not appropriate to talk in this heavy rain, so he hurriedly looked left and right, and found that only the teahouse behind him was still open, so he hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in with the girl.

This is a retro Chinese-style tea house, the ground floor does not seem to be open, only the hall on the second floor is still lit. Perhaps because it was late and it was raining rain, there didn't seem to be any customers in the teahouse, and it looked very deserted.

"Sorry, two guests, our store has been booked for tonight. A waiter stepped forward with an apologetic face and saluted Zhou Wentao and the two.

"Ah...... That one...... Can you just sit down for a while? and we'll leave when the person is scheduled to come...... You see, it's raining so hard outside now......"

Zhou Wentao stammered and negotiated with a smile, while the waiter looked at the storm outside, and then at the two wet young men in front of him, and seemed to be a little unbearable, so he didn't say anything anymore and led the two to a corner on the second floor.

"Two guests, the kitchen is already off work, can't order, and the two of you may only be able to sit for about twenty minutes, please forgive me. ”

"It's okay, just give us two glasses of plain water. ”

The girl said as she lowered the hood of her raincoat. The short cyan hair slipped out of the hood, and the beautiful face was stained with a little rain, which made the girl look particularly beautiful, but there was no smile on such a moving face, and she didn't even look at Zhou Wentao, turned around and sat in a corner of the second floor of this teahouse, don't look out the window.

"......" Zhou Wentao looked at the girl's side face blankly, the moment he saw the other party, he only felt that his heart seemed to be beaten hard, the girl in front of him was so similar to the figure in the dream, so that he even had a trance like being in a dream, but this trance was quickly broken by an indifferent voice.

"Why? don't you sit?" The girl turned her head away, raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Wentao, who was standing still, who had just woken up from a dream, and after explaining a few words to the waiter, she stepped forward nervously and sat down opposite the girl.

"That...... We used to ...... Have you seen it anywhere?" Zhou Wentao stared intently at the face of the blue-haired girl in front of him, forgetting the purpose of his coming here for a while.

“…… No, you're mistaken. The girl glanced at Zhou Wentao coldly, then quickly looked away, and simply gave a negative answer. "Also, can you stop staring at me?"

"Ah...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Zhou Wentao suddenly realized his faux pas, quickly looked away, and got to the point by the way.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, may I ask why my friend's mobile phone is with you?" Zhou Wentao said, pointing to the mobile phone in the transparent bag on the table.

"I picked it up a while ago. The girl's answer was simple and straightforward. "Originally, the phone was out of battery and I couldn't find the owner, but I finally charged it and saw your message. ”

"It turns out that Xiaoyao's mobile phone has long been lost, no wonder he doesn't reply to text messages......" Zhou Wentao muttered. "So, where did you pick it up?"

"There it is. The girl said, stretching out her hand and pointing out the window of the teahouse. "Fell near the coastal road. ”

"Coastal...... Highway?" Zhou Wentao's gaze moved to the window with the girl's point. Coincidentally, this teahouse seems to be not far from the coastal road, and it can be seen clearly from the window on the second floor, and as soon as he sees the winding road, Zhou Wentao's mind immediately appeared The thrilling scene he experienced last night, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" the blue-haired girl observed Zhou Wentao's reaction, and she didn't know what kind of emotions were surging in her cyan pupils.

"No, nothing...... Zhou Wentao lowered his eyes, awkwardly picked up the water he had just served and drank a few sips, seemingly unwilling to say anything. "Yes, yes, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Zhou Wentao, thank you so much for sending back my friend's mobile phone this time, I don't know what to call you?"

"......" The girl seemed to be stunned for a moment, silent and looked away, such a reaction made Zhou Wentao think that he had lost his words, and just wanted to divert the topic, but heard the girl open her mouth softly:

"Blue Feather...... My name is Qing Yu. ”

"'Qing Yu'...... Listen to the famous ......" halfway through the words, Zhou Wentao suddenly stopped, he always felt that he seemed to have said something similar, but he couldn't remember where he said it, and he was in a trance for a while.

"We used to ...... Haven't you really seen it?"

Unconsciously, the words of inquiry blurted out again, Zhou Wentao looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously from his heart. On the other side, Qing Yu's cheeks were slightly red in Zhou Wentao's sight, don't look over it, and didn't answer.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Don't talk about this......" Seeing this, Zhou Wentao hurriedly changed the topic. "I helped find my friend's mobile phone this time, I really don't know how to thank you, if you don't mind, let's leave a contact information, right? ”

"......" Qing Yu was silent, did not agree or deny, just stared at Zhou Wentao without saying a word, seeing that the latter felt furious in his heart, and was thinking about whether he had said the wrong thing again, but at this time, he heard Qing Yu suddenly sigh and opened his mouth gently:

"Dinner is free, if you really want to thank me, why don't you chat with me. ”

"Talk...... Is chatting enough?" Zhou Wentao was stunned for a moment, but then came back to his senses and hurriedly added. "Ah, don't get me wrong, of course I'm happy to accompany you, it's better to say that I can't ask for it!hehehe...... So, what do you want to talk about?"

“…… Anything goes. Qing Yu said, and moved her gaze out the window again. "I didn't have many friends since I was a kid, and the only friend I had was my cousin, who grew up with me, but he was usually very busy at work...... And I didn't have anyone else around me to talk to. ”

The girl muttered, her face looking a little lonely.

"That'...... Do you have any classmates around you who can talk to?" Zhou Wentao asked cautiously. "Judging by your age, you should still be studying, right?"

“…… There's nothing to talk about. Qing Yu paused and muttered vaguely, she picked up the water glass and took a sip gently. "What about you, judging by your personality, you should have a lot of friends, right?"

"I?...... Hehe, in fact, I don't have many friends. Zhou Wentao said with a smile. "Don't look at me like this, in fact, I'm very homely, I usually stay in the studio to catch up with the manuscript, except for my brother, and the two junior high school classmates are getting along well. ”

"Oh, it's not easy for my classmates from junior high school to be able to reach me now...... They...... What kind of person is it?" Qing Yu held the teacup, and there was a faint hint of tentative taste in his big clear eyes, but Zhou Wentao didn't realize anything, and began to talk with a smile.

"One of them is my good brother, although it looks a little stuffy at first glance, but it's actually a very affectionate guy, I and he once fell down together for a while, and during that time I really gritted our teeth and supported each other to survive~ Just like a brother! The other one, although he hasn't seen him for several years because he went abroad, but after meeting him, he didn't feel unfamiliar at all~ Although his thinking is a little strange, his essence is still very good! It's just ...... recently."

Halfway through his words, Zhou Wentao suddenly seemed to realize something, swallowed his words stiffly, and drank the water cup absentmindedly.

"Just what?" asked Qing Yu pretending to be inadvertent.

"No, nothing, after so many years, there will always be some changes when everyone grows up......" Zhou Wentao looked away and said vaguely.

"Oh......" Qing Yu gently shook the water cup in his hand, and suddenly the conversation changed. "Don't talk about this, by the way, speaking of which, there seems to have been something going on near the coastal road last night, and it was quite a big commotion, and it was reported in the news. ”

"Poof! ahem...... Ahem, cough, cough ......!" Zhou Wentao was shocked, and he was suddenly choked by water, and his lungs were about to cough out.

"You, are you okay?" Qing Yu's face changed, and he quickly got up and sat down next to Zhou Wentao and patted him on the back.

"No, I'm sorry...... Ahem...... New, in the news...... What did you say?" Zhou Wentao raised his head and hurriedly asked.

"Well...... It seems to have an explosion or something......" Qing Yu glanced at Zhou Wentao and said. "Many residents heard it and called the police. ”

"Well, the inhabitants ...... Did you see anyone at the scene??"

"I don't know...... What, do you care a lot?" Qing Yu asked, holding his chin, looking at Zhou Wentao, who was coughing and flushed.

"Ah...... No, I'm just curious......" Zhou Wentao turned his face away and said casually. "But it's also true, a car was blown up in the middle of the night, and it's no wonder that the residents were scared......"

"Bomb the car, but the news said that it was the gas pipeline leakage that caused the explosion......" Qing Yu blinked and looked at Zhou Wentao. "Do you know anything inside?"

"......Huh? I—How could I possibly know, hehehe...... I'll just say it casually......" Zhou Wentao smiled dryly, hurriedly picked up the water cup and poured it into his mouth, but found that the water cup had already bottomed out, and he could only look out of the window as if he was embarrassed, but at this time, he suddenly found that a black car slowly drove outside the teahouse, and a familiar figure came out of the car.

I saw a burly bald driver walk out of the cab, and this person was burned to ashes in front of Zhou Wentao not long ago with the appearance of a "scorpion demon".

It's him!?

Zhou Wentao was stunned for a moment.

That youkai...... It's still alive!?
