Extra-two
Early the next morning, when Alai offered to pick up Wanqiu for breakfast, Wanqiu resent her an address, which was a hotel not far from their home.
The April cocktail was held on September 28 at the Westin Hotel in S City.
At noon in late autumn, I took the dress to be changed, stopped the car, and went directly to the hotel to help decorate the venue, and just walked into the hall of the venue, I saw April standing there, a striped shirt, and the hem was tied in the black wide-legged pants, which seemed to be a little slimmer at the waist. With headphones in her ears and a walkie-talkie in her hand, she was standing in the middle of the venue, bowing her head and saying a few words into the walkie-talkie from time to time. When he accidentally turned his head and saw Late Autumn, he immediately ran over to her with a cheer and gave her a big bear hug.
"You're finally willing to come back, you miss me," April said angrily holding her hand after letting go of the late autumn.
"Your old man has personally issued an ultimatum, do I dare to disobey?" Wanqiu smiled at her playfully, looked around, and saw that it had been almost arranged, and now it was adjusting some details.
"I wanted to come over and help, but it seems that I don't need it," she smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I came over last night to get busy, and now I've finally managed to get most of it, you haven't had lunch so early, right? Let's go eat first" April took off the headphones and put them on the table with the walkie-talkie, said hello to the staff next to her, and pulled her out together.
They chose a western restaurant not far from the hotel, there were not many people at this time, only a few tables of people sat loosely, late autumn sat by the clear floor-to-ceiling window, took a sip of the black coffee in his hand, reminisced about its mellow and bitter taste, remembered that the person also liked this taste, when ordering coffee, it was always Espresso, every time he needed to work overtime until late at night, he always had a cup in front of him, and then she was worried that drinking too much would be bad for the stomach, and he was not allowed to drink Espresso in the morning, but replaced it with a cup of American style with milk, doing everything possible to please herself, just hoping that she can occasionally relax and promise herself a glass of Espresso.
Whenever she recalls these past events, Wanqiu feels that her heart hurts even when she breathes, and those pictures are vivid, as if it happened yesterday, she closes her eyes in pain, and returns to this city, these memories are invading her at any time, leaving her nowhere to escape, nowhere to avoid.
"Late Autumn, are you okay?" April looked at her gradually pale face, and asked with some concern, her state was worse than when she left a year ago, she was as thin as a paper person, and she felt as if she would be blown away by the wind at any time, and she was terrified to see it.
"It's okay, it's just that I remembered something" A smile tugged at the corner of Wanqiu's mouth, but her eyes were as dim as a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
April looked at her and frowned, "Your current appearance makes me more and more worried, you know I'm just worried that you will not live well abroad alone, at least we will accompany you when you come back, but if you come back, if it is really uncomfortable, we will not force you, the most important thing is that you can be happy"
Listening to this word numbly, Wanqiu smiled bitterly in her heart, she may never understand how to write these two words again in her life, she gently turned the tall glass on the table, and fell silent.
At this time, the steak was brought up, and April cut the late autumn portion for her and handed it over, "You have to eat more, see how thin you have become."
Wanqiu nodded and took the plate, and after eating a few bites, she stopped touching it, wiped the corners of her mouth with a towel, and quietly watched April eat, April looked at her like this, where was she still in the mood to eat, she also put down her knife and fork, sighed, and remembered that when Alai called her yesterday, she said that she received it in the hotel in the morning, but the night before she was obviously sent to the door of her community, it seems that she has never been able to let go, but thinking about what happened to her, April feels that she can understand her a little, at least she can still have the courage to return to S City, which is already very strong。
There are still forty-five minutes before the start of the reception, April gave the key to the upstairs suite to Late Autumn and asked her to go upstairs to change her clothes first, she herself checked all the links again at the bottom to make sure that nothing was lost, Late Autumn took the key to the elevator room, the floor was displayed on the minus 2nd floor, she pressed the arrow upward, the elevator slowly rose up, only to hear a "ding" sound, the door opened, Late Autumn looked up, and after seeing the people standing inside, she was suddenly stunned there, and then she couldn't take a step again.
The lights were all brightened after April's speech, and she walked down the steps to thunderous applause, and hurried to a small workshop next to the stage, where Alley was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
"What's the matter with what you said she was missing?" April looked at her in disbelief, trying to digest what she had just heard.
"I've searched all the places I should have looked, the upstairs suite, the downstairs garden, the terrace and the pool, but I haven't seen her, and no one has answered the phone, sister, you said that nothing would happen to her, right?"
April understands why she is nervous, and she also knows what she means by what she said, late autumn came back this time, and she was in a very bad state, she and Alai felt that it was very necessary to take a good look at her after analysis, for fear that she would be confused and do something stupid for a while, no, it was not long after leaving the sight of the two, and no one could be found, no wonder Alai would think in that direction.
"Let's not scare ourselves first, you go to the garden and the terrace to look for it, I'll look for it in the pool, and if we can't find it, we'll go to the monitoring room to check the monitoring and check to see if she has left the hotel" April arranged in a deep voice, and then opened the door and walked out with Alai.
When she walked to the middle of the venue, she saw Wang Ming talking and laughing with the guests who came, she quietly winked at him, and then turned sideways to the table where the food was placed, Wang Ming bowed slightly, and slowly greeted the guests and walked over, April told him about the late autumn, and he quickly nodded, "Then you go quickly, I'll deal with it here first"
April nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the door of the venue.
The two looked around again, but still didn't see the figure of late autumn, when April and Alai had no choice but to give up, and were about to go to the monitoring room, they suddenly saw a figure walking out of the elevator room in despair, who was it not late autumn? Alai and April hurriedly ran over.
"Late Autumn, where did you go? scared me to death," Alai couldn't help but complain when he ran over and pulled Late Autumn.
"Alright, Alai, just find it," April hurriedly glanced at her, signaling her not to be open-mouthed, but to stimulate the late autumn to think more.
When Alai saw this, he had to open his mouth, swallowed the words again, and shook his head helplessly.
Late Autumn raised her head, looked at them blankly, and then felt that it was dark in front of her, and she was planted on the floor, her face pale and her posture distorted, like a puppet that had lost its traction.
Then the hotel lobby rang out with Alai's screams, and then the hotel staff immediately rushed to this direction.
