Chapter 1 The Color of Snow
The second time Xueqi ran away from home was on July 15 when she was 19 years old.
After she ran away from home, I tried every means to find her, I used all my power, but I still couldn't find her. Xueqi was entered into the list of missing persons by the police, and JC helped me investigate for months, and I even asked them to publish missing person notices on the Internet, in city daily newspapers, and on some street walls, hoping to find Xueqi, but there was no news at all. Yuezi knew that after Xueqi ran away from home, she also came back a month early, and she was supposed to come back in September, but she submitted an application to her mentor to return to China in advance.
After returning home, the first thing Yuezi did was not to count down the mistakes I made to Xueqi, but to help me find Xueqi together, she helped me think of a lot of dead ends that I might forget, and at the same time, Yuezi thought that if Xueqi had not encountered an accident, she was most likely to go to nothing more than three possibilities, one was where she rented a house to live in, the second was to stay in someone else's house, and the third was in a certain unit. However, although Yuezi helped me analyze a lot, there was nothing I could do about where Xueqi went.
Yuezi once suspected Ma Bailong, she said that if the person Xue Qi likes is Ma Bailong, she may go to Ma Bailong, with this glimmer of hope, I spent several days visiting Baima Entertainment Company, and finally found out Ma Bailong's whereabouts from Ma Huateng, Ma Bailong's school is Tsinghua University, which is a key university. Ma Bailong was three years older than Xueqi and went to school a year earlier than Xueqi, so at that time, Ma Bailong had already graduated from college and started studying for a master's degree.
And I also secretly lurked near Ma Bailong's university for several days, trying to believe that Ma Bailong might be with Xueqi, they might come out of the school gate together, talk and laugh, or stick together like lovers.
However, I didn't see that kind of scene, with Ma Bailong, it was just some of his classmates, he and his male classmates were talking and laughing, and there was no Xueqi around him at all.
In the end, I found Ma Bailong's classmates and asked Ma Bailong where he lived recently and what kind of girls he was dating with, but his classmates told me that Ma Bailong lived in the dormitory every night, and did not interact with any girls, but was dedicated to further his studies, and at the same time, when he was not in class, he would go to his uncle's company to deal with some daily affairs, or go to the library to read some books on production, shooting, advertising and entertainment, and Ma Bailong did not do anything else to cheat.
From my classmates, I know that Ma Bailong was admitted to Tsinghua University by his own strength, in fact, Tsinghua University is not very suitable for Ma Bailong's future goals, the reason why Ma Bailong went to Tsinghua University is to mix a master's degree, and I heard that Ma Bailong will study abroad in the next two years.
At that time, I was really sure that Xue Qi really didn't go to Ma Bailong.
However, if she hadn't gone to find Ma Bailong, where would she go?
Yuhui helped me check all of Xue Qi's QQ accounts and some email addresses, but I was disappointed to find that since she ran away from home, Xue Qi has never logged in to QQ again, nor has she used her previous email account...... As for Xueqi's phone card, she has already changed it, and I don't have any whereabouts about her at all.
Without a clue, even my most trusted Yuhui can't do anything.
Xue Qi ran away from home this time, taking away her own ICBC card, which was the more than 60,000 yuan she earned from shooting advertisements, I don't know how long Xue Qi can use this money, but in the case of no job, Xue Qi will not be able to survive for a year or two even if she is frugal. I asked the staff in the bank to check the withdrawal time of Xueqi's bank card, but found that there were only two recent withdrawals, or on the second and thirteenth days of her runaway, and those two withdrawals Xueqi withdrew all the 64,782 yuan in her bank card, so I could no longer find Xueqi through the address of the ATM.
Because of this, for me, Xueqi's last clue was completely broken.
After Xueqi ran away from home, Yuezi has been staying at home to help me through this most difficult period, sometimes she will tell me if she has a whimsical idea, help me find Xueqi, but, even with the wisdom of Yuezi, still failed to find Xueqi. I really can't imagine that the stupid girl who didn't know anything at the beginning, once she made up her mind to let me not find her, could do it so perfectly and thoroughly, without leaving a single flaw.
After almost three months of searching for Xueqi, I still haven't been able to find Xueqi. It wasn't until three months later that I received a letter from Xueqi to me, it was an unaddressed letter, which was stuffed at the door of my villa, and the content of the letter was very simple, so simple that it was only one sentence:
"Daddy, don't look for me anymore. I'm fine now, really good, you hurry up and get married. I'll be back when you're married. ”
At that time, when I saw the letter under the crack in the door, I knew that Xue Qi must have come back while I was away, but there was no address on the letter at all, and the stationery was also ordinary stationery that could be bought anywhere, and I still couldn't find out Xue Qi's whereabouts. However, from that letter, I at least knew that Xue Qi was safe.
At that time, I didn't find Xueqi for three months, I was about to give up, I had thought about Xueqi's unfortunate scene countless times, and even had been ready to accept the result that Xueqi had died, but the letter Xueqi sent me once again ignited the fire of hope in my heart, because of that letter, I looked for Xueqi for several days, but I still couldn't find her.
I was really going crazy at that time, where would Xue Qi go? Where the hell did she go?
My aunt and uncle also asked a relationship to help me find Xueqi for a while, but I couldn't find them, let alone them. As for my other colleagues and friends, as well as Brother Hua's people, most of them have never even seen Xue Qi at all, so naturally they can't help me much, and they can't find Xue Qi.
I went to some places that require ID card registration to check the name "Chen Xueqi", such as hospitals and hotels, but there is no trace of Xueqi's registration. I even asked the police station if there was a recent incident about the discovery of the body of an unknown woman, but the police station replied to me no. At that time, I was both relieved and anxious. I was relieved because Xue Qi had not had an accident at least, and what I was anxious about was what if Xue Qi was abducted and trafficked to a poor and remote country? What if she was abandoned in the wilderness? What if she was killed and then the body of the five horses was split and sunk into the water? Because I couldn't find Xue Qi, I had crazy thoughts more than once.
Those thoughts made me have nightmares for many months, dreaming that Xueqi had encountered all kinds of accidents, and in the end, I even dreamed that the people around me, such as Yuezi, Yuhui and Jasmine, and other people who had intersections with me, had accidents and accidents......
At that time, I felt a little nervous allergic. Yuezi even accompanied me to see a psychiatrist twice, but the psychiatrist only said that I was under too much pressure and that I needed to adjust my mentality appropriately, and he couldn't help me more.
I know that I have a heart disease, and unless Xueqi comes back one day, I can't be cured at all.
In the blink of an eye, the year has come to an end, but until the Spring Festival, Xueqi still hasn't come back.
That year, I went to my aunt's and uncle's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Yuezi, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, but the topic became stiff when it came to Xueqi and my marriage.
During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, my aunt persuaded me that since Xueqi said that she would not come back if I did not get married, I would simply get married, so that I could have my own family, and secondly, Xueqi could come back, which was the best of both worlds.
But I told my aunt that Xueqi doesn't know where she is now, and she may not be able to know the news when I get married, and now that Xueqi is running away from home, I really can't get married with peace of mind. For this reason, I postponed my marriage for a while.
Actually, at that time, my thought was that maybe Xueqi used up the money in her bank card, and she would come back, after all, she didn't have any connections, and it was impossible to find a job easily, and if she ran out of money, there were only two choices, either to come back or to find a job, but no matter which option she had, she would expose herself. Because if you want to work, you definitely need an ID card, and when the time comes, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find Xueqi.
However, time flickered, and more than half a year passed, and I still couldn't find Xueqi.
Every other month, Xueqi would send me a letter back, the address was all scribbled, I couldn't find it at all, it seemed that she secretly came to the door of the house in the middle of the night when I was sleeping and stuffed it in my doorframe.
The content of the letter is nothing more than telling me that she is fine, that she is safe, that she is healthy, that she has enough money to spend, and that I don't have to worry about her.
Then Xue Qi just urged me to get married quickly, and she would be able to come back when I got married.
But she had no idea that such a letter would not only not calm my mind, but would torment me even more. It's like Kuafu chasing the sun, as if you can catch up with the sun in the sky, but every time you catch up, it's farther away, and it almost drives you crazy.
The most terrible thing in the world is not complete despair, but despair with a glimmer of hope, and that kind of despair can really torture people to madness.
Because I am not married, and I have never been married, she has reached the age of 30, and I am almost 36 years old.
In this way, Xueqi ran away from home for 1 year, 5 months and a week, but she still did not come back.
Eventually, even the confinement began to urge me to get married.
Confinement has said to me more than once:
"Brother, it's really a dead end if it goes on like this. Otherwise, you will marry Yuhui. ”
However, I never agreed to the confinement. In fact, in the more than a year that Xueqi left, I tried to marry other girls several times, and some directors and managers in the company recommended me a good marriage partner three times, and I also went on a blind date three times. The first time, it was a 32-year-old woman, she was the daughter of a director, but she was a divorced woman, and she was very short-tempered, and her appearance was very ordinary, I was very dissatisfied, and I didn't need to see her again after that blind date. The second is the niece of a client friend of mine, she is very beautiful, I got along with her for nearly half a month after a blind date, but in the end I found out that she is a very money-worshipping woman, speaking very harshly and meanly, the first week I got along with her quite well, but in the second week I found out her shortcomings, and finally gave up dating her. And the third woman was recommended to me by a manager, 33 years old, a female director, and her appearance is quite passable, but I found that she is not the type suitable for marriage at all, because she is a workaholic, and she is busy answering the phone even on a blind date, and she seems to have a relationship with several men.
In this way, for nearly a year and a half, I missed three marriages, although the reasons for missing are different, but the main reason is because every time I go on a blind date with them, I will think of the girl who has left a deep imprint in my life.
The girl who was as pure as snow.
When I think of her, I don't have any intention of falling in love at all. I always feel that comparing my blind date with Xueqi, I am nothing, a money worshipper, a snobbish, and an arrogant woman who thinks highly of herself...... The more women I get along, the clearer it is that many women in this society have long been polluted and dirty, and their worldview and personality have been distorted.
And because of this, I miss the girl who is as pure as snow.
I don't know when she'll be back.
I really miss Xueqi.
I miss the baby girl I raised single-handedly.
In this way, it was December 22 of the year when Xueqi was 20 years old, which was three days before Christmas that year.
Until that day, I still hadn't been able to find Xueqi.
At home, it's just me and Yuezi.
"I said brother, the weather forecast says it's going to snow today, why do you still take off your coat?" Yuezi was watching TV in the hall, and when she saw me coming back in a long shirt and a coat in her hand, she frowned a little dissatisfied.
When I saw the confinement, I smiled.
"The heating was on in the office and in the car, and I was sweating so hot, so I took off my coat. I explained with a smile and walked down the hall.
Yuezi tilted her head and said to me:
"Then put it on now. Maybe you'll get a bad cold. ”
Hearing Yuezi's words, I smiled wryly and nodded: "Okay." I'm going to put it on. However, it may not be a good thing to have a bad cold, maybe Qiqi will come back to see me when she finds out. Ha ha. ”
I smiled and put on my coat, and just then, I suddenly heard rain outside, and the sound of rain falling on the lawn in the courtyard.
"It's really sleet, Yuezi, and now I find that you can not only read other people's minds, but also prophesy. Ha. I quipped, and sat down on the couch.
Yuezi glanced at me, smiled faintly, then got up and walked to the gate of the villa, her black hair fluttering, she stood there for a while to watch the sleet outside, then closed the door and folded back, and then picked up the remote control and turned on the heating in the house. The heating from the central air conditioner hit my face, making me feel the slightest warmth, and my body began to heat up.
The TV was still playing the same program for thousands of years, and my attention shifted from the TV to the window next to me, and at that time, I could see the sleet crashing against the window. Another year is coming to an end.
It's cold, that little girl who haunts me, is she still doing well?
Looking at the snow scene outside the window, my mood became sad again,
"What's wrong, brother?" Seeing that I was looking at the snow outside the window, Yuezi asked me.
"I'm thinking, how is Xueqi now, she has been gone for a year and a half, and the money should have been spent, and she didn't bring a few clothes with her when she left, I don't know if she can buy winter clothes. ”
"I think she's going to be fine, didn't she send you a letter last week urging you to get married?"
"Yes......" I was reminded by the confinement of this reminded me of the letter from Xue Qi a week ago begging me to get married quickly, in the letter Xue Qi seemed to be angry with me, she said that I have delayed for a year and a half and still not married, if I don't get married, she will definitely not come back. Xue Qi also said that it was for my good to let me get married, and she didn't want me to bear the infamy of the chaotic wheel, let alone let Sister Yuhui be lonely.
In short, that letter, Xue Qi was more anxious and earnest than the previous times, and Xue Qi even said that if I didn't get married again, she would definitely use other methods to urge me to get married.
At that time, I was really heartbroken.
However, I still have no plans to get married. Getting married is not something that can be done so easily.
Moreover, I really want to tell Xueqi that I really want to be with someone...... It's her.
Hearing Yuezi's words, my mood became sad again, and my mood became very low.
"Brother?" Suddenly, Yuezi, who was sitting next to me, made a voice.
"Well, what's wrong, Yuezi?"
"Brother, in the past year and a half, we have already tried every means to find Qiqi's whereabouts, we have tried all the methods we can think of, but we still can't find her......" Yuezi narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Yuezi, did you think of any way to find Qiqi again?" I looked at Yuezi, but my emotions did not rise, I knew that Yuezi must have some idea again, this year and a half, every time she thought of a way to find Xueqi, she would tell me as soon as possible, but after so many times, Xueqi's people still couldn't find it, so I won't be so excited.
"Brother, I just have an idea. Although we can't think of a way to find Xueqi, maybe someone will. Yuezi raised her head, her black hair drooping, and her bright black eyes looked at me.
Hearing the words of the confinement made my heart beat slightly.
"Who?" I asked, furrowed, tentatively.
I believe that even the most familiar with Xueqi can not find Xueqi, and there is no way that there will be a second person in this world who can help me find Xueqi. For more than a year, I have asked all the people who know Xueqi, but there is no whereabouts of Xueqi.
Yuezi's face was a little complicated, she hesitated slightly, supported her chin with the back of her hand, and then told a name that made my heart beat violently.
"Brother, do you remember the big man named Blue Moon?"
