When he woke up the next day, Ji Ran was surprised to find that he actually had a cold. But she has always lived a casual life, and she didn't take it seriously at all, and continued to go to work with a snort.

Ji Ran, who believes in the creed of self-healing from minor illnesses, after several days of continuous overtime, when he was paralyzed and couldn't get up one morning, he finally realized that he was no longer the young little sister who had nothing to do for a week, and resigned himself to asking for leave, swallowing a fever-reducing pill, and then lying down.

Dizzy and groggy until she woke up naturally, Ji Ran looked at the time, it was already evening, she rubbed her temples, her intuition was much better, and she took out her mobile phone and clicked on the takeaway software.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door, Ji Ran fumbled and lifted the quilt, moved to the door step by step with his slippers, and clicked the play button on his mobile phone.

A steady male voice came from the microphone: "Who?"

The visitor knocked twice more, and there was a thick disgust in his voice: "I, please make a nice sound!"

Ji Ran sniffled and opened the door

"Don't you have the key?"

Seeing Liang Xia walking in with something in both hands, Ji Ran asked casually while going to the bathroom.

"Sister, why should I bring the key to your house with me to work?"

Liang Xia replied behind him, Ji Ran turned on the faucet and wiped his face, only to feel a little sober. When she came out, she saw that Liang Xia was moving the things on the table, opening the plastic bag in her hand, and putting the food boxes one by one.

"Why are you here?"

She poured a glass of water and asked slowly.

"I didn't reply to the message I sent you today, I went to your department to inquire, and they all said that you were sick. ”

"Yes, I feel the sadness of the passage of time. ”

"If you are poor, come and eat. ”

Ji Ran sat next to Liang Xia and applauded with satisfaction: "This is love." Then he met the white eyes of Liang Xia and took the chopsticks she handed over.

After eating a few bites, she accidentally saw a cardboard box on the table, reached out to take it, and asked:

"What is this? You brought it?"

"No, I saw it at your doorstep, so I brought it in, I thought it was a courier. ”

Ji Ran flipped through the box, but he didn't see the information of the express order, what was it. She put down her chopsticks and curiously opened the box and took out the drawstring pocket inside.

"What?"

Liang Xia couldn't help but be curious and came over, watching Ji Ran open the slightly old flocking cloth bag, and waited until the contents were taken out before she could see it clearly. It's an old metal sign with some strange patterns carved into it.

Just as she was curious, she saw Ji Ran stand up suddenly, with a shocked expression on her face that she had never seen before.

"Where did you get it?"

Ji Ran asked her eagerly, Liang Xia was a little surprised, but he still pointed to the door quickly, and then watched Ji Ran run out quickly.

What the hell is going on?" Liang Xia took out the key from Ji Ran's bag hanging at the door, closed the door and followed.

She pulled Ji Ran, who was looking around in the aisle, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Ran didn't speak, took a deep breath, and slowly opened his hand to look at the sign he was holding in his hand, although it was a little old, the lines engraved on it were still clearly visible, and there were a few small fonts at the bottom - "Ji Kaiyu".

"This is my brother's thing. ”

She didn't say much, carefully tucked the sign into her pocket, and walked down:

"I'm going to take a look at the surveillance. ”

......

In the monitoring room, Ji Ran stared at the figure that appeared in the aisle motionlessly, the other party seemed to have made good preparations, wearing a hat and mask, and wearing a very ordinary T-shirt, jeans, canvas shoes, without revealing any specific features.

"I'm in trouble, uncle. ”

She watched it over and over again, stayed for a long time, and thanked the property with helplessness.

Liang Xia looked at her face carefully, and didn't know what to say, returned home, sat beside her, drank a glass of water, and then cautiously said comforting words:

"Perhaps, it was just an accident. ”

After speaking, he closed his mouth in disbelief, looked at Ji Ran's face that was clouded, and simply hugged her without saying anything.

"It's okay, just cry if you feel uncomfortable. ”

"It's been five years, and you said that my brother would really be alive, but for some reason, he couldn't appear in front of me. ”

Liang Xia didn't speak, don't talk about Ji Ran's things that happened today, even she felt chaotic, after all, something that had disappeared for five years suddenly appeared, and it happened that Ji Kaiyu's disappearance was a knot that Ji Ran couldn't untie in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer now.

Hearing the knock on the door, she took the initiative to open the door, Ding Cheng jumped in, the two exchanged glances, and Ding Cheng sat down.

"Ranran, are you sure it's your brother's thing?"

Ji Ran stretched out his hand and pulled out a sign along the red rope around his neck, which was the same as the pattern he received before, but the place where the Chinese characters were just changed to Ji Ran.

"The amulet my mother used to ask for, and the two of us basically won't leave it. ”

"Do you have any clues, or ideas?"

Ji Ran shook his head weakly, and then held his head and knocked on his knees:

"I don't know, it's too sudden, I can't see people clearly in the surveillance, there is no information, really, I really want to find it, but to be honest, I don't know where to start. ”

"But I think since it happened once, there will be a second time. After a long time, she raised her head and said.

Ding Cheng took out something from his bag and put it on the table:

"I just bought the camera recently, and I haven't installed it yet, so I'll install it at the front door for you?"

......

Since that day, whether Ji Ran is working or resting, he will always subconsciously open the APP every few minutes to check the situation at the door of his home.

After the initial shock and panic, Ji Ran's mood is actually very tangled now, every time he sees a figure on the display screen, his heart will hang, but when he sees that he has walked through the door, his heart falls and he feels disappointed and happy at the same time.

She really wanted to find that person again, but at the same time, she was extremely afraid that the other party was not Ji Kaiyu.

In the past half a month, she tore apart the dusty memories that had been sealed for a long time, and tried to find any clues in her mind five years ago, and then she found that there were too many things that she couldn't understand.

After his parents died in a factory bombing fifteen years ago, Ji Ran and Ji Kaiyu began to live a life dependent on each other. Ji Kaiyu is three years older than her, he was originally naughty and mischievous, and he always likes to play tricks on his sister, but he grew up quickly after the death of his parents.

For each other, two people are the only concern in the world, and naturally there will not be too many differences between each other.

It's just that Ji Ran thinks about it now, and after becoming an adult, it seems that his life has begun to change somewhat.

One of the most incomprehensible is that after Ji Kaiyu's disappearance, Ji Ran looked for him like crazy, she found the place of work that Ji Kaiyu said, and wanted to know more information, but she was told that there had never been such an employee.

She found Ji Kaiyu's friends, and asked them one after another what they knew about her brother and the details of getting along with her brother, and found that everyone got different information.

Ji Kaiyu was like this, without leaving any information, and disappeared into the world out of thin air.

Ji Ran searched for a long time, but he didn't find any news about Ji Kaiyu. Almost everyone was hopeless about this matter, but Ji Ran never gave up. Ji Kaiyu's belongings, which suddenly appeared outside the house, made Ji Ran instantly ignite hope.

But as more than half a month passed day by day, there was still no clue, and Ji Ran felt that he was stuck in the dead cycle of the year again.

***

Perhaps it was because Liang Xia, who was worried that Ji Ran's mental condition had continued to languish in the past half a month, and was worried that she would have problems when she was alone, always tried every means to pull her around the lively field.

On this day, Ji Ran yawned boredly while watching Liang Xia staring at the popular male god on the roadshow stage with great vigour.

Although she felt that everyone seemed to think of her as too fragile, there have been many big and small blows in the past five years, and it is not that she has never been disappointed after finding suspected clues. So when her brother's things suddenly appeared, she was only in a bad mood for a few days and returned to her usual appearance.

Just watching Liang Xia pay attention to the male god, and secretly observe her appearance from time to time, Ji Ran still smiled, the care of friends should still be cherished.

When the roadshow ended, the two of them had a relationship and blended into the backstage, Ji Ran and others watched Liang Xia at the door to take a photo with the idol in his heart with great interest, looking at the surrounding environment a little boringly.

In another lounge a few doors away, someone walked out surrounded by a windbreaker, high heels, sunglasses and red lips, and walked in a tall and decent manner. Seeing that there are many tall men in suits and leather shoes around him, I think it is probably a very famous artist.

Ji Ran wanted to see the other party's face clearly with some curiosity, followed his eyes all the way, and when someone took a step forward and helped the artist open the door, Ji Ran's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a trace of shock.

The shock did not come from the artist, but from the person around her who opened the door for her. The man was wearing a well-fitting suit, Bluetooth headphones on his ears, his hairstyle was a standard inch, his facial features were not handsome but not ordinary, and his eyes were plain and unwavering.

Ji Ran suddenly remembered that she had seen her brother's friend at work, but the memory was too short, which gave her an illusion, and now, she suddenly remembered.

It was a year before Ji Kaiyu's disappearance, she had seen Ji Kaiyu on the street once from afar, at that time he was tall, in a suit and leather shoes, he was completely like Ji Ran had never seen it, Ji Ran naturally wanted to make fun of it.

It's just that before she could speak, Ji Kaiyu saw her, and she looked at Ji Kaiyu's finger pressed on her lips to signal her not to call her name, and the action of letting her leave first, thinking that it was just a signal that she couldn't talk during working hours. Now that I think about it, Ji Kaiyu's face at that time was obviously nervous and worried.

And at that time, standing next to Ji Kaiyu was the person who had just opened the car door. Thinking of this, she looked at the shadow that only half remained on the ground, and almost without thinking, chased out.
