Chapter 1 The Talkative Classmates
"Why do I have to face the same face when I go to and from work?" I pouted and asked Li Jing next to me
Li Jing shrugged his shoulders and said to me with an indifferent expression: "Isn't this a blessing for your senior sister." ”
I was speechless when I choked on a word, but then again, it was really my own death. The reason for the incident was that a week ago, my college sister sent a WeChat message to see me.
My senior sister and I met in the freshman club recruitment, and the senior sister was arranged as a mascot as the face of the club to stand next to the booth for the new recruits. However, after reading the introduction of the club, everyone shook their heads and left, probably not a fun club. I was also going to take a detour, but when I raised my eyes, I saw my senior sister squinting and smiling at me, and I was embarrassed to leave, so I had to go up hard. When I picked up the profile and looked at it, I instantly had the urge to slip away.
"You can try it!" I don't know when the senior sister walked behind me, and when she spoke, she startled me.
"No, I don't think it's right for me." I was thinking about how I didn't refuse to go to school sister's face.
The senior sister was not annoyed, she still smiled at me gently, but it made me feel a chill in my back, and after a few seconds of stalemate, I felt that I couldn't hold it anymore, and smiled wryly: "Okay, I'll try." ”
The senior sister left to greet other passers-by. When I filled in the contact information and was about to leave, I didn't know which tendon was wrong, so I suddenly walked up to my senior sister and asked for her mobile phone number. Actually, I didn't understand how I had a connection with my senior sister at that time, but I got into trouble again and again, maybe I really have a special physique that attracts strange people.
This club couldn't be run in my junior year, the seniors graduated, the club activities slowly loosened, and the content of the club activities was relatively niche and it was difficult to apply for school funds, relying on our own club fees were far from being able to support the scene, and finally the club was completely dispersed on the eve of my graduation, everyone went their separate ways, and there was little contact with each other.
Speaking of the content of the club, it is actually somewhat similar to my current experience, the club I joined is an after-school club with the theme of physical evidence research, and the so-called club activity is that several members get together to study the serial killer cases that have become a mystery in European and American history, and speculate on the identity of the murderer. At that time, because I was trying to get a certificate, I was not very interested in club activities, and occasionally participating in it was just listening to the stories told by the seniors, not often expressing my own opinions, the key is that I was pulled in by the senior sister, and I was not interested in this kind of thing at all, and I was attached to the club just to make myself look less lonely. Except for the senior sister, I don't keep in touch with other club members, and occasionally I can catch a glimpse of what they are like now in the circle of friends and **.
After graduating, the senior sister went to Italy for a gap year, where she learned to be a pastry chef, and it is hard to imagine that the senior sister who was once keen on bloody murders finally chose such an ordinary life. Ah, I've played the introduction, my senior sister's name is Liu Yi, and her major is anatomy, so you know what I asked would be strange about her profession, right?
After returning to China, Liu Yi opened a bakery in our neighboring city, mainly to teach everyone how to make zuò desserts, and the business is said to be good. Last week, Senior Sister Liu Yi suddenly sent a WeChat message to find me, saying that she was coming to me on the weekend. Friends I hadn't seen in years came over for the weekend, and I was quite excited at first, if nothing came after.
The day we met was Saturday, and I felt that I might be at odds with Saturday, and that something out of the ordinary would happen on Saturday, and this Saturday would be no exception. The two of us made an appointment to meet at a café near my house, because it was not yet lunch time, there were few people in the store, and the food was served quickly, and we chatted about the current life of the club members, while sharing the dishes on the plate, and it was only when we finally ate a gelatina called "affogato" that the senior sister revealed the reason why she came to me.
Senior Sister Liu Yi smiled shyly at me and asked me, "Xiaozhi, I heard that you are now a detective?" ”
"No, who did you listen to?" I probably didn't mention the previous cases I participated in with Li Jing.
"You didn't go to the alumni association before, and everyone said that your boyfriend was involved in solving the case, and you also went to help?" Senior Sister Liu Yi had a tentative tone.
"No, it's all nonsense, I just wasn't feeling well that day." I remembered that on the day of the alumni association, I happened to be in the office of Team Xiao with Li Jing and them to sort out the case file in the movie theater, because I was entrusted by Li Jing to find an old man who can speak Arabic, so I asked the school for help, but I didn't expect the rumors to spread so quickly.
"But that's what the teacher I used to say the same thing." The senior sister still hasn't given up on this topic. There was no way, I could only bite the bullet and tell the facts to the senior sister, who just smiled and didn't interject when I explained, occasionally nodding her head in agreement. When I finished explaining that I felt that I could end the topic and continue to eat dessert, Senior Sister Liu Yi suddenly spoke: "Xiaozhi, can you please help invite Li Jing over, I have something to ask him to help." ”
Maybe the toppings of the coffee were too strong, or the chocolate snowball was too cold, but I was completely sober after listening to her request. Co-author Liu Yi called me over at the beginning just so that I could find Li Jing for help. I asked the senior sister what was the matter, and the senior sister just said vigorously that only when Li Jing came could she talk about it. I couldn't figure out anything, so I called Li Jing's phone to call him over. Li Jing happily agreed to my request, wrote down our address, and said that he felt it for a while. Putting down the phone, I was alone and sullenly eating the ice cream that was about to melt, and the atmosphere became futile in vain.
"I'm sorry, Xiaozhi." The senior sister said the words of apology, but the expression on her face was cold.
I stiffened my face and ignored her words, but seeing that she helped me order another cocoa portion, I forgave him in my heart for the time being, and I looked forward to Li Jing coming over to resolve the embarrassment. After about half an hour, Li Jing pushed the door in, in fact, it was the meal, and there were more people, but I could just feel his approach, and even the moment he pushed the door, I raised my eyes.
I briefly introduced the senior sister to him, Li Jing looked around, then at the senior sister, and pointed to the door: "Let's find a quiet place to talk about things." ”
After 15 minutes, we moved on to a quiet café nearby. I asked for a pot of tea, and while my senior sister went to the bathroom, I had the first conversation with Li Jing, so ah, I still can't live by myself.
