Chapter 8: Flyover

I rushed downstairs in spite of it, ran up the overpass, and kept calling his name on the overpass, and slowly, I got tired of running, tired of crying, and squatted under the railing of the overpass and cried......

After a long time, a voice appeared in front of me, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" ”

I slowly raised my head, staring at him motionless with red eyes.

He stood straight in front of me, his expression a little distressed, and then, he squatted down and slowly touched my head with his hand, "Fool, why are you crying?" ”

He reached out to wipe tears from my face.

And I, just grabbed his sleeve blankly and stared at him with a blank expression, "I just ...... See him...... I saw Xu Liannan......"

He listened to what I said in a daze, his expression was stunned for a few seconds, and he asked, "Who do you see?" ”

I sobbed under my breath, "Why didn't he come to see me...... I've been looking for him for so long...... Why is he avoiding me...... Why the hell is that?! ”

I looked up, my red eyes meeting his distressed, deep eyes, as if trying to find an answer in his eyes.

He stared at me for a long time, and those eyes, with indescribable meaning, just stared at me motionlessly.

"Xijia, sue me, who is the person you are looking for?" He said abruptly.

"A very important person...... Very important, very important............"

With that, I stood up and staggered to run towards the crowd.

However, I had barely walked a few steps when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my right ankle, and I almost fell.

A pair of warm and powerful hands hugged me from behind, and when I turned around, I saw a pair of distressed eyes locked on my body,

He scolded in distress, "Stupid!" ”

After saying that, he picked me up without saying anything, and I struggled: "Let me go quickly!" There are a lot of people here......"

"You're hurt, I'm not going to let you go." He still carried me forward.

"I'll let you let me down! Did you hear that?! You stinky boy! ”

I struggled with my legs, like a frog that couldn't swim, and everyone giggled at us, and I blushed and suddenly bit him on the shoulder.

"Put me down!"

He wailed in pain, and finally let me go in compromise, acting cautiously, as if to protect something extremely precious.

He reluctantly crouched down in front of me, "Come on." ”

I stood hesitantly, my eyes still searching for the figure of the boy in the crowd, but I could no longer see his face in the crowd.

"What's the daze? Come on! I'm squatting so much that my legs are numb! ”

Tuyoucheng chattered and complained, and I was still staring at his broad and straight back, when he grabbed his wrist and lay down on his back.

His back was broad and warm, and there was a faint scent of soap floating on his body, as if there was a familiar smell that spread through his body.

I unconsciously found that for a moment, I actually thought he was Xu Liannan.

He carried me on his back and walked step by step on the overpass where the crowd followed, and I heard his deep voice, "Is that one named Xu Liannan very important to you?" ”

His voice was filled with sadness and loss.

Our overlapping shadows were reflected on the ground, and it looked so sad, as if there was an inexplicable loneliness that surrounded us.

I turned my face away, "I don't want to say ......"

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it." He smiled slightly, "Anyway, I will never give up on Lin Xijia!" ”

"Why?" I asked, "I've always been fierce to you, why do you keep liking me?" ”

He said: "There is no why, because I like Lin Xijia very much, I like it very much." ”

The breath of his smile lingered around me, like the breeze of a summer night, like the faint fragrance of osmanthus in the air.

I was about to say something, but my phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket, and I picked it up: "Hey? ”

"Hey, Xijia, ......"

"It's ...... me"

"What are you doing now?"

"I'm ...... now," I swallowed as I glanced at Tuyoucheng's back and swallowed, "I...... I'm riding a camel! ”

The figure of the "camel" is visibly stiff.

"Camel riding?" There was an incredulous growl on the phone, "You mean? You ran away into the desert? ”

I'm noncommittal.

"Xijia, what did you promise me, how are you doing now?"

Xiao Li asked anxiously on the phone.

I know he's telling me to investigate the secret of the "most beloved woman" in Tuyou City, but I don't know or want to know who the person he loves the most is.

I said, "Xiao Li, I'm quitting." ”

There was an angry roar on the phone: "What did you say?!" Lin Xijia?! ”

I said calmly, "I said I wouldn't do it anymore." ”

"You...... Lin Xijia! Do you even know what you're talking about?! Do you know how much the other party is paying?! You actually said you quit? You're mad at me, aren't you?! Lin Xijia! You give me a reason! ”

"The reason is, I feel bored and don't want to do it."

I closed the phone cleanly, smiling, and feeling more relaxed than I had ever felt before.

Because I know that since the other party is willing to spend so much money to reveal the secret of Tuyou City, this secret must be very important.

Since it is his secret, let it remain in his heart forever.

As soon as I hung up the phone, Tu Youcheng asked me, "Who were you talking to on the phone?" ”

I smiled, "It's a secret. ”

"Then how about I exchange this secret with you?"

I looked at him strangely: "What secret?" ”

"You sue me first."

"No, you have to sue me first."

“……”

"I've fought with someone before, I have a wound on my body, and I still have an ugly scar, you, believe it or not?"

He suddenly turned to me and asked, his eyes mixed with a slight temptation.

I was slightly taken aback: "Really...... It's true? ”

"Do you want to see it?" If I had said "no" later, I guess he would have stripped himself of himself by now.

"I—no, look!" I leaned into his ear and gritted my teeth and said, "Bastard! Put me down! ”

"Now that I'm on the thief ship, how can I be willing to let you down? You're an idiot, aren't you? ”

After speaking, he walked down the steps with an unhappy face, "Why is it so heavy?" ”

"It's too heavy, you don't have to carry it! And no one wants you to carry it! I protested dissatisfied.

"Stupid, your foot is injured, if I don't carry you, do I leave you here, and then go back and be scolded by You Hui?" After a pause, he said, "That's what the guy you're looking for does." ”

I was stunned, tears rolled in my eyes, my nails pinched his shoulders deeply, he "snorted" in pain, but he didn't blame me in the slightest, just looked at me with a look mixed with distress, and his tone gradually slowed down, "I'm sorry for making you sad." ”

I took a deep breath and smiled, "I'm fine!" ”

"Fool."

He took a deep breath, there was a trace of distress hidden in his expression, and when he walked to the intersection, he finally put me down, and wiped the tears from my face with his warm big hand, "You look ugly when you cry." ”

"Am I not embarrassed to look at your business? Stinky boy! The relationship that had eased a little just now was broken by him again.

I kicked him viciously, turned and walked into the dining room, and in the distance, I heard melodious music coming from the second floor.

When they saw me, they all rushed up, "Happy birthday!" Xijia! ”

You Hui and Tang Xiaoyuan came to my side one after another, and You Hua's double eyelids with green eyeshadow blinked close to me: "What's wrong with you?" There are tears on the face. ”

I immediately wiped away my tears and smiled, "No...... Nothing......"

"Stinky boy, did you bully us Xijia?" You Hui walked towards Tuyou Cheng with an innocent face without asking, but he glanced at his mouth and said, "How dare I bully her!" She bullied me pretty much! ”

"You E...... I'm fine......" I hung my head and quietly wiped away my tears.

"You...... Is it really okay? Yu Hui asked with concern.

"Really...... It's okay. I lied.

"I just saw you running out in a hurry, what the hell is going on?" Yue added, "Still screaming...... It's like screaming...... The name Xu Liannan? ”

Hearing these three words, my heart "popped" again.

Xu ...... Who is Xu Liannan? Madoka asked suspiciously.

I shook my head and motioned for her to stop talking. His chest suddenly became very tight, like pressing a stone, so he turned his face and asked You Hui, "Is there any smoke?" ”

YUE STARED AT ME FOR A FEW SECONDS, SIGHED, AND RELUCTANTLY OPENED HER PRADA PURSE.

Suddenly, a protruding arm crossed over and snatched the cigarette that belonged to me.

"How many times have I told you, don't smoke in front of me."

He resolutely broke the cigarette, threw it into the trash can, and walked slowly towards me, his long figure standing under the crystal chandelier, with a hint of determination in his eyes, he said: "You have to remember that in the future, with me, I will always be by your side." ”

He looked at me condescendingly, determination in his eyes.

"It's actually a better place to dance than to smoke, don't you think?" He asked me with a smile and held out his hand to me, "Miss Xi, please-"

He actually called me so kindly, for a moment, goosebumps all over my body rose, I stared at him in a daze, and for a while I didn't know how to face his invitation-

Suddenly, his phone rang, and at that moment, his face became a little stiff, and his expression was stunned, "What are you talking about......

"Okay, I'll be right over."

The next second, he hung up the phone in a panic, walked up to me, and looked at me seriously: "Xijia, I have something to do, let's go first." ”

"Attu, why are you in such a hurry, Xijia's birthday is handled by you!"

Tu Youcheng's expression was a little speechless, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word, just looked at me with an apologetic expression......

"I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry, I'll compensate you next time."

I nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Tu Youcheng picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair, put it on and walked out.

On the night of my birthday, You Hui and Tang Xiaoyuan kept laughing and laughing in my ears, staging a live-action game of "smashing cakes".

And I, just barely pretending to have a happy expression, propping my chin and looking at the starry sky outside the window in a daze.

I don't know why, but I have an extremely strong sense of loss and insecurity......

Why is he so flustered, and why is he so anxious?

The mind is in a mess.

No, no, Lin Xijia, don't care too much about some things you don't need to care about.
