Chapter 35: Meeting
Listening to Yang Xiaohui's request on the other end of the phone, Bao Mingxuan obviously hesitated, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he finally agreed, Yang Xiaohui was obviously very happy, and reported his current address very happily, which was a farmhouse that could provide accommodation in the far suburbs of the city, Bao Mingxuan confirmed the approximate route with her, and then hung up the phone.

"Have you written down her address?" he asked, hanging up.
Hearing him ask, He Ning quickly understood his intentions: "What? Aren't you going to go with us?" Yang Xiaohui made such a request on the phone, and you agreed. β
The expression on Bao Mingxuan's face became a little embarrassed, he sneered, hesitated a little, and then said to He Ning and Tang Li: "I was a little ploy just now, and I didn't really plan to agree to her." After all, if you think about it, I went with me at this time, what is the matter? In terms of my friendship with her, it really hasn't reached this level, and I'm afraid that after I go, she will have some kind of misunderstanding, but if she doesn't agree, I'm afraid that she will just push her on the phone and say that she doesn't have time, it's inconvenient, or something, and she won't provide the address, so won't it be difficult for you to do it? Now that the address has been asked, otherwise you should also consider and understand my position a little, okay? You go to her according to the address, and don't let me go with you. β
"We can understand your concerns, but you just promised so well on the phone, and when we went back, we went there with everyone, and when she saw that you didn't go, if you had any emotions again, and you didn't want to communicate with us properly, wouldn't it be in vain?" Of course, He Ning couldn't agree to Bao Mingxuan's request, "So you are still a good person to the end, accompany us on a trip, we will go with you, and we will go with you when we go, so you don't have to worry about anything that is hard to say." β
As soon as Bao Mingxuan heard He Ning's words, he knew that he couldn't push it away, so Bin had no choice but to nod and look at his watch: "Okay, but then you're afraid you'll have to wait for me a little longer, I have some things at hand that can't get out of the way, I'll go with you when it's a little later, okay?"
He Ning and Tang Li said that it had nothing to do with each other, Bao Mingxuan turned around and went back to the office to get busy, and He Ning and Tang Li sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for him to finish.
Bao Mingxuan's studio should be just like what he said before, just started, and it is estimated that he has attracted some business recently, so several employees are always in a busy state, although Bao Mingxuan is nominally the boss of this studio, is the employer of those people, but he is not idle at all, discussing something with that person for a while, and getting together with that person in front of the computer for a while I don't know what to study, Zhang Zhang Luoluo looks like a little bit of a small boss, just so busy until the sky has gradually darkened, and there seems to be no intention to stopAfter looking at the watch a few times, Bao Mingxuan finally put down the work at hand for the time being, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out three or four hundred yuan from it and handed it to the person next to him, and explained it, which probably meant that he was responsible for taking a few other people out for a delicious meal, rewarding him, and taking a little rest, he still had a little more to do, he had to go out first, and come back later to drive a night train with the big guys.
The boss took out his pocket to invite everyone to the restaurant, of course the staff were very happy, cheered and quickly finished the matter at hand, and then left the studio converted from this private house in a hurry, Bao Mingxuan returned to the living room with an apologetic face, rubbed his cheeks with his hands, relieved the stiffness of facial muscles caused by fatigue, came to He Ning and Tang Li, and nodded to them: "We can go now." β
The three of them set off and rushed over according to the address provided by Yang Xiaohui on the phone, the location of the farmhouse is not particularly remote, but the address is not particularly easy to find, after all, if it is really in that kind of convenient and prosperous place, it does not have the attractive characteristics of the farmhouse. It is estimated that it is thanks to Bao Mingxuan's blessing, Yang Xiaohui said in detail when he provided them with the address, and even some forks in the road that may be easy to go wrong were specially reminded, Tang Li's ability to recognize the road is not bad, Bao Mingxuan's sense of direction is also very strong, and there is no less help to see the road signs and signs along the way, so it is relatively smooth to find the past along the way, but it is already dark when I get there, I don't know if it is not because it is not a holiday, or it is not well-known enough, the business of this farmhouse does not seem to be very hot, when I get there, the door is deserted, the door is closed, they knocked on the door for a long time before someone finally came to answer the door, I heard that they didn't come to eat or stay, they just came to find someone, and the person who opened the door for them was still a little disappointed, but he still greeted them very warmly and took them to the room where Yang Xiaohui lived.
"How long has this person lived here?" said He Ning casually as he walked.
It was a man in his early thirties who helped them open the door, and he thought for a moment and said, "It's been a long time, sometimes I go out, sometimes I come back, I don't eat much at our place, and I don't usually talk much." β
After saying this, they came to the door of a room, this farmhouse is not particularly large, it is just a relatively spacious farmhouse courtyard, Yang Xiaohui stayed in this room is a little more remote, relatively quiet, to the door, the farmhouse people walked away, Bao Mingxuan saw He Ning set his eyes on himself, hurriedly waved his hand at her, and retreated half a step.
"It's not appropriate for me to knock on the door first, right? After all, this time you have something to look for her, not me, I just came with you at your request. He lowered his voice and said to Henin and Tonic Li.
He Ning saw that he was so reluctant, and he didn't force him, Yang Xiaohui was a girl, so she went over and knocked on the door first, this door looks like a very old wooden door, and the paint on it is a little mottled, but it can be seen that this should be the kind of old effect that should be deliberately made, probably to highlight the rustic sense of the farmhouse, in fact, the door panel is very thick, and the door lock on it is also the style of the anti-theft lock, and the door itself is opaque, but from the window next to the door, there is a little dim light from the curtain crack, which proves that there are indeed people in the roomγ
After knocking on the door a few times, the closed door was opened from the inside, and a thin and tall girl with short hair stood in the door, it was Yang Xiaohui herself, she looked at He Ning indifferently, and then looked at Tang Li behind He Ning, until her eyes fell on Bao Mingxuan's face next to Tang Li, and there was a few more smiles on her face that had no expression, and her eyes seemed to have become soft.
"Senior brother, are you here?" Yang Xiaohui opened the door wider, so that the three of them could enter, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was only Bao Mingxuan alone.
Bao Mingxuan's attitude towards her was obviously a little more detached, he smiled at Yang Xiaohui, nodded, and then gestured to He Ning and Tang Li: "I'm here with these two police officers, are you saying hello?"
Yang Xiaohui was reminded by him like this, so she nodded to He Ning and Tang Li, but the words on her lips were still said to Bao Mingxuan: "I'm sorry, senior brother, I'm a little bit not very good at socializing with others, so I don't know these two, and my attitude is not enthusiastic enough, and I hope everyone can be more considerate and forgiving." β
"You talk slowly, I'll wait outside, it's hot inside. Bao Mingxuan smiled politely at Yang Xiaohui, then explained to He Ning and Tang Li, turned around and walked out of the door, and went outside to wait.
Yang Xiaohui was obviously a little disappointed with Bao Mingxuan's practice of turning around and going out after coming, but after all, the two policemen wanted to find her, and she also promised to meet them, and now as soon as Bao Mingxuan went out, she followed out, which was a little too explicit, so she had to let her eyes follow Bao Mingxuan out, and she stayed absent-mindedly, facing He Ning and Tang Li, who were not very interested in her.
"What are you looking for from me?" she asked.
"Can we take a look at your ID?" Hernin told her.
Yang Xiaohui frowned, withdrew her gaze, looked at He Ning, and did not go to get her ID card, but said to He Ning: "Then can I take a look at your documents first? I can trust my senior brother's person, but I have never seen you before, so I can't say what you say, right?"
"No problem, here's our credentials. Tang Li issued his own documents without saying a word, and He Ning also handed over his police officer card to Yang Xiaohui for a look.
Yang Xiaohui looked at the documents of the two of them, returned them without saying a word, and then turned around and took out his wallet in his travel bag in the corner of the wall, took out his ID card from it and handed it to He Ning and Tang Li, He Ning and Tang Li looked at the personal information on the ID card, which was not different from what they had before, plus although Yang Xiaohui's hairstyle was not the same as what they had learned before, her appearance was still the same as before, there was no particularly obvious change, and naturally there was no difficulty in identifying it, so that Yang Xiaohui's identity was basically confirmed, and there was no problemγ
"Do you know that your school thinks you're missing?" He Ning said to her, "How long have you been living here, and why haven't you had any contact with the outside world?"
"Because I'm not in the mood, there's no need, I just want to hide, stay alone for a while, I don't want to contact anyone, I don't want to think about something that upsets me, it's nothing, right?" Yang Xiaohui didn't seem to welcome He Ning and Tang Li's visit, and she was also full of impatience for the reason for their visit, but her temper seemed to be relatively mild, so in addition to giving people a feeling of listlessness and no temperature, there was not much rejection revealed.
"I just recently suddenly feel particularly confused about life, I don't know what I have been doing for so long, and I don't know how I want to reach the end of my life in the future, I have always been able to find my goal, and then work hard for the goal, but recently I suddenly have some burnout, I can't lift my spirit for anything, I feel that in fact, people's lives, in the final analysis, are nothing, we always think that we know what we want, always think that we will feel satisfied and happy when we get something, but from childhood to adulthoodOur goals are constantly changing, and after achieving one, what we get is not happiness at all, and even the so-called satisfaction is only temporary, fleeting, and then we start to work hard and chase for the next goal. She said in a particularly flat tone, "Therefore, is it that our life does not have a so-called end at all, is it not that the satisfaction and happiness in the expectation will never be obtained, because once a goal is achieved, the goal will immediately change from the end to the starting point of the next goal, our human desire is like a bottomless pit, but it is full of confusion, and we don't know what we want all our lives." β
Neither He Ning nor Tang Li thought that she would suddenly say such a thing to them, and they were both stunned for a moment, not knowing how to pick it up.
"Each of our goals may be just an illusion, which our brains use to deceive us and tempt us to embark on a certain path, so once the goal is achieved, the illusion does not exist, and the original fantasy of happiness will naturally not last," Yang Xiaohui continued to murmur, "I just couldn't figure it out all of a sudden, I was confused, I don't know what I am studying and studying for, a good job? Do I have a good income in exchange for a better quality of life? But my life is already filled with endless work, even if I have high material conditions, will I have time to enjoy life? When I have become a rotating machine, what happiness do I have? But if I give up and do nothing, then I may not live for a few days at all, and not pursuing it will cause a hollowness and emptiness in my heart, which also makes me very painful, so I don't know what I want and how I should go down my path. β
