Chapter 186: Xia Tingyin
The plane landed at Siathrow Airport, and Gu Xi, Cheng Qi, and Cheng Jin got off the plane together.
Cheng Qi had no luggage, leading Gu Xi with his left hand and pulling Gu Xi's luggage with his right hand. Cheng Jin awkwardly pushed a luggage cart to follow.
Coming out of the airport, the three of them faced a lot of problems.
Cheng Qi whispered to Gu Xi, "At this time, I haven't bought a house here, so we still have to stay in a hotel." β
Gu Xi was very surprised, feeling that he took him to the future, and the future was undecided. She whispered, "Just stay in a hotel and rent a furnished apartment." But we are all travelers, it is not easy to rent a house, how much money do you have in the bank? β
Cheng Qi was a little embarrassed and said, "How much does it cost?" β
Gu Xi was very surprised by his reaction, her original subtext was that if there was too much money, don't let people know. She said, "We don't have a school, and your tenants may not rent to us, so if the bank has money, it would be better." She approached Cheng Qi, "Do you have no money?" β
Cheng Qi approached her, "...... There are a few thousand pounds. β
Gu Xi was stunned, he dared to elope with his girlfriend for only a few thousand pounds, and dared to say that he wanted to get married and buy a house. Her man was obviously carried away by the reunion, thinking that he was still the same as before, he had never been short of money, and he had made offerings everywhere he went.
She squeezed Cheng Qi's hand vigorously, "You are really delaying, don't say it early if you don't have money, I'll change the pound and come out again, and now I only have a passbook." β
Cheng Jin stood behind and took out a cigarette.
Gu Xi stretched out his hand to snatch it away for him, "How old are you to smoke." β
Cheng Jin was stunned, and he wanted to lose his temper but didn't dare.
looked at Cheng Qi aggrievedly.
Cheng Qi's young and white face is flat, and he doesn't look at him when he is mature.
Gu Xi threw the cigarette in the trash can next to him.
Pulling Cheng Qi and saying, "Let's stay in the hotel first." A few thousand pounds is also money, and you can rent a house. β
Cheng Qi said, "If you can make money, you can just take a little time." You don't care. β
Gu Xi nodded, Cheng Qi can play hedging, and he is engaged in funds, and the previous historical curves are probably printed in his mind. She wasn't worried.
The three of them found a hotel to stay in and began to look at the house slowly.
It was the Christmas holiday, Cheng Qi thought very well, but the rented houses were not very good, at this time, London had not yet started to build housing on a large scale, and the houses he could look at were either too expensive, or they still needed to be renovated.
After looking for a few days in a row, Cheng Jin lost interest, and Gu Xi also took care of him, he was uncomfortable, so he told Cheng Qi to leave. It doesn't matter if it's almost Christmas.
Cheng Qi couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly bought a ticket and sent him away.
Gu Xi's travel visa is six months, and she and Cheng Qi reunited for two weeks, and they really haven't even spoken properly.
The night Cheng Jin left, she could finally talk to Cheng Qi openly, and they were in Cheng Qi's room, starting from her becoming Gu Xi, one by one, one by one.
Cheng Qi was distressed and sad when he heard it.
He also carefully told Gu Xi about the previous things, Gu Xi leaned on him, and the two of them said that it was almost dawn, and they didn't feel that they had finished speaking.
The two of them fell asleep.
Gu Xi was woken up by the sound of the mobile phone on the table, vibrating, she took the phone to look at it, and saw Cheng Qi lying on the red velvet cushion, sleeping soundly, Gu Xi thought sadly, adolescent boys are when they are long and sleepy, and she puts the blanket on Cheng Qi.
Answered the phone.
It's a real estate agent, they made an appointment yesterday to see a nearby house, and just called to ask if she can go today. Gu Xi went back to the room to wash his face and brush his teeth, came to see that Cheng Qi was still sleeping, took the key and checked the list of the house, and went to the intermediary company on the opposite street.
They began to choose districts, and now they have completely cast their nets all over the place.
Many don't rent to them on short-term visas. Those who are willing to rent to them are rotten houses.
So she felt that it was better for her to take a look first, and then it was appropriate to call Cheng Qi together.
This time, I was looking at a two-bedroom apartment.
Converted houses, the first floor is a household, they are on the second floor.
The wall of the bedroom was painted blue, Gu Xi liked it very much when she saw it, she took the list, and it was all the places that Cheng Qi had found fault with the house before.
One by one, the bathroom is not impractical, the layout is reasonable, one and a half meters next to the bed, and there are large windows, push open to see the vegetable field in the distance downstairs. In the distance there is a church with a steeple.
She imagined that if the big white curtains were hung, the house would be beautiful in the morning.
She was so happy that she went to check the kitchen again......
******
In the hotel, Cheng Qi woke up and looked at the blanket on his body first, and then he immediately sat up in shock, and the red velvet cushion behind him fell to the ground.
He didn't care, he jumped up and hurriedly looked left and right.
When he saw the hotel room, his face was even more surprised and surprised, the big bed, the chandelier, the two-seater sofa, and a piece of clothing thrown on the bed, like his pajamas.
He looked at the slippers on his feet, and his expression was filled with fear.
Two steps to the bathroom, saw the electric toothbrush on the table, toothpaste...... Rushed to the closet and opened the closet, where his clothes hung out......
******
Gu Xi returned to the hotel, holding the introduction sheet just given by the intermediary in his hand, and he was about to hum all the way.
When I walked to the door of Cheng Qi's room, I saw that the door was wide open and the waiter was cleaning.
Gu Xi smiled and went to open the door, Cheng Jin left, and it was also appropriate to retreat from a room.
As soon as she opened the door, her smile froze on her face.
There was no one in the house.
There is no sign of Cheng Qi moving over, exactly the same as when she left.
She came out of the house and asked the room cleaner next door, "Where are the people living in it?" β
The waiter shook his head.
Gu Xi took the elevator downstairs and asked the person at the reception. It was an English gentleman in his fifties, and he looked it up and said, "Check out." β
Gu Xi asked, "Check out, what about the person?" β
The colleague who went to ask the rest in the room, a girl came out and said, "I saw a car coming to pick it up, a lot of people, and he left." β
Gu Xi was stunned, she went upstairs, and after thinking about it, she guessed that someone from Cheng Qi's family might have come to her, probably not wanting to expose her, so he left.
Gu Xi thought about it while packing up her things, this is not good, since Cheng Qi is gone, she can't continue to be here.
She didn't have any luggage, so she packed up briefly, closed the suitcase, and she dug into her pocket, and pulled out a 50 pound, a 20 pound, and some change.
Gu Xi stomped his feet, "This guy killed me, I don't have any money." β
She doesn't have classmates here, but fortunately the hotel pays in advance, otherwise her money will not be enough for a day's room rate.
She pulled up the suitcase, now glad that it was not yet noon, and thought again, they had paid the rent a few days in advance, and they didn't know how much was left today.
She went downstairs and asked, and people told her that she couldn't get a refund if she booked, and there were two days left.
Gu Xi thought about it for a while, and proposed to let the family change her room and stay for two more days, which is better than sleeping on the street.
She sat in the room with the phone in her arms, thinking that Cheng Qi would definitely call her as much as possible.
She didn't have any money, he knew best.
Suddenly...... She threw away the phone and took her bag, rummaged through it for a while, turned out her makeup bag, passport, and found the subway ticket, she opened the ticket folder, touched it inside, and found a piece of silver. Yes. Card.
She pressed on her forehead and thanked God.
This is still the day she went to Chinatown to buy something, Cheng Qi didn't want to bring a bag, so he stuffed it into her, he and her, now he is getting lazier and lazier, and sometimes he doesn't even take his mobile phone when he goes out.
Now that Gu Xi has a card, he is not so flustered.
Her passbook can't get money here anyway.
She changed her clothes, found the nearest ATM, and withdrew 250 pounds first, which the bank can withdraw at most in a day.
The mobile phone rang, it was a call from the real estate agent, and she thought that she had to sign a contract.
But without Cheng Qi's passport and bank certificate, what is the use of her going.
I only answered the phone and pushed the house.
Christmas is coming soon, Gu Xi sat on the steps in front of the bank, suddenly not knowing where to go, she was on a travel visa, and she couldn't work.
Cheng Qi is gone, is she waiting, or what should she do?
Without him, such an expensive hotel, 100 pounds a day, Gu Xi didn't dare to live, she could take 250 a day, and then pay 100 to the hotel, so what if she couldn't take it out one day, she also had to save some money, just in case she needed to buy a plane ticket.
Gu Xi went to the supermarket next to him to buy some bread, and he was not too pessimistic. Cheng Qi has her mobile phone number, and if he can contact her, he will definitely look for her. The only thing she was afraid of now was that she didn't know if his family would come to find trouble.
After all, where is his age, if his parents come, she will only have to listen.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi stopped at the front desk of the hotel, and the gentleman Fan in his fifties was looking at her and laughing.
Very friendly.
Gu Xi thought for a while, walked over, put the bread on the counter, and asked, "Do you want to eat some bread?" β
The man smiled and shook his head, "Thank you - how can I help you?" β
"Yes." Gu Xi said, "I've heard people say that there are places in the UK where you can get married at the age of 16, is it true? β
******
Cheng Jin looked at his brother, left and right.
Cheng Qi said, "What do you see, do you know why I'm in the UK?" β
Cheng Jin said, "I'm just thinking, why are you in the United States now? β
Cheng Qi frowned, and said with an expression that he didn't want to be approached, "I think this thing is very strange, and I didn't look like I was kidnapped, so I came back first." I remember having dinner with you that night, why did I sleep and I was in the UK? β
Cheng Jin asked blankly, "Which day?" β
Cheng Qi thought for a while, "It's the day you said you wanted to install a Christmas tree." β
Cheng Jin looked to the left, the big Christmas tree was lit up in colorful colors, gorgeous and gorgeous, and he looked at Cheng Qi again, "Brother-brother-that's been almost three weeks." β
Cheng Qi's brows furrowed even deeper, "What the hell is going on?" Why aren't you with me? β
Cheng Jin was a little scared in his heart, he looked at Cheng Qi vigilantly.
Cheng Qi met his defensive eyes and stood up irritably, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." He went to his room.
"Brother-" Cheng Jin stopped him and asked in a low voice, "What about Gu Xi?" β
Cheng Qi turned his head, looked at him and asked, "What Gu Xi?" β
Cheng Jin: "......"
*******
Cheng Qi walked around the room, his steps hesitant and solemn, he felt that he must have a disease like schizophrenia.
Cheng Jin's expression just now has already explained a qiΔ.
He didn't rest on the plane, lying on the sofa, he didn't even dare to sleep, for fear that as soon as he slept, he would change again.
*******
Gu Xi came out of the supermarket with bread, and by the way, she withdrew 250 from the ATM, and when she saw the machine spitting out the money, she didn't count it, and stuffed it directly into the inner pocket of her clothes. I went into the supermarket again, walked around it for more than 20 minutes, bought a magazine, and made sure that no one was following me before leaving.
She's out there alone, so she has to be careful about everything. She had already saved five 250 and moved to a hotel for 50 pounds a day, so she had saved almost 1,000, which was enough for her to buy a plane ticket back home. But now Christmas tickets are a bit expensive, if usually, you can buy a ticket for only 400.
It's really hard for her to be in and out of the world.
She came in a hurry, and did not bring thick clothes, a coat cost 50 pounds, she wrapped it in an overcoat, and muttered, "If you can get 250 out tomorrow, go buy a coat." ββForget it, I don't know when the card was stopped. β
The phone rang in her pocket, her heart jumped, and she hurriedly slipped into a red phone hall next to her.
"Heyβ" She held the phone, and felt her heart tremble as if she had a hunch.
"Sissy-me!" Cheng Qi's voice came from the opposite side, his vocal cords were immature, but full of helplessness and anxiety.
Gu Xi was speechless, holding the phone.
"Where are you now?" Cheng Qi asked.
ββ¦β¦ Where are you? Gu Xi asked him rhetorically.
After a pause, a noisy couple walked past the phone booth, and Cheng Qi said, "America." β
The wind blew in through the gap under the phone booth, and it was not his feet that made Gu Xi feel cold, but his heart.
"Did your family arrest you?" She asked cautiously.
"No......" Cheng Qi said, "Where do you live now, send me the address, I'll be there tomorrow, and we'll talk about it when we meet." How are you eating these days? β
Gu Xi said, "I thought your family had taken you away, and I was afraid that they would come to me, so I moved to a hotel." However, we paid the money before, and I was reluctant, so I finished living, and now I live in the third district in the north, and there are many hotels here. β
Cheng Qi said, "It's all my fault, I'll explain this to you when I meet, do you still have money?" β
"Yes." Gu Xi said, "I found the silver that went to Chinatown that day, and you stuffed it in my transportation card by the way. Yes. Card. β
"That's good." Cheng Qi said, "It's really ...... Scared the hell out of me. β
Gu Xi held his mobile phone, pursed his lips, and felt the silence and heaviness from Cheng Qi on the other side. She said, "...... Nothing can separate us. Even if you're not there, I'll take care of myself and wait for you to come back. β
Cheng Qi didn't speak, only the sound of suppressed breathing came from the other side.
Gu Xi said, "Cheng Qi - or I will return to China first." At your age, you can't help yourself. I asked, even if you go to England and Wales, where you can marry at the age of 16, you have to have the consent of your parents and guardians. Her voice slowed and was unusually gentle, "No one is going to agree with us." I don't want to -- we've made it through everything, but not your 18. β
The wind outside is getting stronger and stronger, and in the distance at the entrance of the mall, there are children singing Christmas songs...... Christmas lights flicker and flicker, and the scenery is just as beautiful every year.
*******
Cheng Qi walked out of the airport and saw Gu Xi from a distance, he walked over quickly and hugged Gu Xi into his arms.
Gu Xi buried his face in his coat and whispered, "It's good that foreigners can't see the age of our Chinese." β
Cheng Qi turned his head sideways and kissed her hair fiercely, and whispered, "I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
The two took the subway back to the hotel rented by Gu Xi.
She was afraid that Cheng Qi would be upset, so she deliberately moved a good one today, and went out in the morning to buy a coat, wearing a warm and warm coat to pick him up.
But Cheng Qi counted the money in her pocket and guessed probably.
He took off his coat and said depressedly, "We have a problem." β
Gu Xi poured him a cup of hot water and used the kettle they had bought themselves.
Cheng Qi took the cup, put it aside, pulled Gu Xi and said, "Let me ask you, you are 22 years old again, so where are you at the age of 22 now?" β
Gu Xi blinked and gave him a blank look, "I go back to the past, of course my past is gone." β
Cheng Qi stood up, walked around the house anxiously twice, walked up to her, and asked with a childish appearance that Gu Xi couldn't look at directly, "Then why is my 16-year-old still here?" β
"What do you mean?" Gu Xi raised her hand and touched her heart, she really didn't want to suffer any more blows.
Cheng Qi said, "I remember that day I told you, and I didn't finish my sentence until I died, and I found out that this thing was wrong. I don't know how to explain it...... Now I seem to understand a little. β
Gu Xi sat down on the sofa and said tremblingly, "Don't scare me. β
A child like this, Cheng Qi, who is 29 years old, is okay, if it is really 16 years old, they are really finished!
