Ye Qing originally said that he wanted the driver to send Gu Shi'an, but Gu Shi'an didn't let him, saying that he would just take a taxi.

She called Chang Yan when she got in the car, but she didn't know if the phone was out of battery or what, the cold prompt in the phone had been turned off.

Gu Shi'an didn't think much about it, and when he went back, he found that Chang Yan was not there. The room was deserted, and the kitchen was equally deserted, as if it hadn't been fired in a long time. But it's all clean.

She spun around and took out her phone to make a call. But it still hasn't been opened, and it still prompts that it has been shut down.

Gu Shi'an was a little puzzled in his heart, there were not many places where Chang Yan could go, and he didn't know if he went out to buy something or where he went.

She had thought she would be back soon, and stayed in the house. Who knew that after waiting for more than an hour, he still didn't see Chang Yin.

It was already past five o'clock, and Gu Shi'an looked at the time. I decided to go to the place where I usually lived. She hadn't come back for so long, so she had to go back there.

She made up her mind, and walked outside with what she had brought. Thinking that Chang Yan didn't come back so late, even if she didn't go back to her own home, it was probably at Xiaohuzi's house.

Outside, it was dark. The light in the hallway was dim. Gu Shi'an was about to lock the door when the door next door opened.

Aunt Zhang, a neighbor, walked out, and when she saw Gu Shi'an, she smiled and said, "I'm finally back." Downstairs, your Uncle Zhang's daughter got married, and we all had joy candy in this building. I left you here when I came to find you, who knows you've been there. ”

As she spoke, she took out a small delicate box with the word "Xi" printed on it and handed it to Gu Shi'an.

Every family here has a happy event, and they will send the whole building to the joy candy. It's a habit that has been going on before.

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, looked behind him, and said, "You mean, my friend is not here either?" ”

Aunt Zhang looked at her suspiciously. said, "Aren't you all here?" Didn't she go home for the New Year? ”

Gu Shi'an's mind was a little messy, and he barely squeezed out a smile. After a few words of greeting with Aunt Zhang, she hurriedly went downstairs.

Gu Shi'an's mind was a little messy, Chang Yan wasn't here during this time? So where did she go? Back to the courtyard?

But that day, she also said to ask her when she would come back. She prepares in advance and prepares something to eat for her. If she's not here, then why doesn't she tell herself?

Gu Shi'an walked downstairs quickly, and when he left the community, he took a taxi and went straight to the place where Chang Yan used to live. On the way, she called Chang Yan again, but the phone was still turned off.

Gu Shi'an had some bad premonitions, and asked the driver to hurry up from time to time along the way. The driver was still good talking, and when he saw that she was in a hurry, he took a shortcut.

When he got to the place, Gu Shi'an paid the money and got out of the car quickly. I went to Chang Yan's side, but found that the door was closed.

She knocked on the door, but it didn't look like there was anybody. There was no sound for a long time.

She continued to knock patiently, but there was still no sound inside. There's no one in there.

Gu Shi'an looked at the time and didn't knock it any further. She looked around, probably because of the Chinese New Year. The surrounding storefronts were closed, deserted.

She didn't wait any longer, and went to Xiaohuzi's house with her things.

Xiaohuzi's house is separated from Chang Yan's house by a street, and compared to the desertion on Chang Yan's side, this side is very lively. Children set off firecrackers on the side of the street, and laughter spread far and wide.

Xiaohuzi's family lives in a small courtyard, and several families live in the yard at the same time. I don't know whose house washed the clothes, and the concrete floor in the yard was wet.

Seeing someone coming, the people chatting in the courtyard all looked over. Gu Shi'an and Chang Yan had been here twice before, so he naturally knew where Xiaohuzi's family lived.

I was about to knock on the door. And the door opened from within.

It was Xiaohuzi who opened the door, and he was surprised to see Gu Shi'an. But then a smile appeared on his face and he asked, "Sister, why are you here?" ”

He was happy, and as he spoke, he pulled Gu Shi'an into the house.

There was only a dim yellow light in the house, and the house was very simple, with a pot of water boiling on a small charcoal stove.

Gu Shi'an touched his head, smiled and said, "I didn't come over for the New Year, I came to see you." She looked around and asked, "Is your mother not there?" ”

Xiaohuzi poured her a glass of water and said, "My mother won't come back until later." He was a little shy, and then said: "The Chinese New Year is busy, and my mother will come back late every day." ”

Yes, the salary will be more during the Chinese New Year. She must also be reluctant to rest.

Gu Shi'an's heart was a little sour, he reached out and touched the little tiger's head again, and said, "Then our little tiger is really well-behaved, and we didn't go out to play." ”

Xiaohuzi smiled shyly and said, "My mother is so ......hard because I am sick," he said, his face was gloomy. Yes, if he hadn't been sick, how could this family have been in debt.

He is much more sensible than his peers, Gu Shi'an sighed softly in his heart. Brings the topic to life. Then I took out all the snacks and other things I had brought over.

Xiaohuzi is still a child in the end, and his eyes lit up when he saw all kinds of food. But he still endured it and didn't eat, let Gu Shi'an sit, and he cooked. Leave her down to eat.

He was home alone, and he was already cooking.

Where would Gu Shi'an let him cook, grabbed him, and said, "Good, my sister won't eat for a few days." I'm here to find Sister Chang Yan, has she been looking for you during this time? ”

Hearing that Gu Shi'an came to find Chang Yin, Xiaohuzi's face showed doubts. said: "Sister Xiao Yan didn't come, didn't she live with your sister?" My mother called her to come over for the New Year, but she didn't come, she only came once in the past few days, and took me to the street, originally to take me for a good stroll, I don't know what happened and left in a hurry. ”

Gu Shi'an's bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she still wanted to ask something. I'm afraid that Xiaohuzi will worry. In the end, he still didn't ask anything, smiled reluctantly, and brought the topic over.

She couldn't sit down for a minute, trying her best to keep herself from acting out of the ordinary. appeased Xiaohuzi for a few words, and then left in a hurry.

Chang Yan's phone couldn't get through, and she didn't call again. went back to her little courtyard.

The door to the courtyard was still closed, and it was already dark. But there was no light in there. Gu Shi'an reached out to knock on the door, but there was still no movement inside.

A drizzle fell and fell on his face, Gu Shi'an was a little dazed, and suddenly realized that he knew very little about Chang Yan, and even now at this time, he didn't even know where to find her.

She leaned against the door and closed her eyes.

She didn't have a clue in her head, just waiting at the door. But Chang Yan never came back.

She had said that her father had returned, but she had never seen anyone. The lights in the courtyard were always dim.

Gu Shi'an had been standing at the door, and he didn't even feel that his body was numb from the cold. waited until eleven o'clock, she looked back at the small courtyard behind her, and made another call to Chang Yan before leaving.

Sitting in the car, she restrained herself from thinking about anything, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

When I returned to the old mansion, it was already twelve o'clock, probably even Ye Qing had slept, and all the ones in the old mansion had been extinguished.

Gu Shi'an took a breath softly, and then opened the door and went in.

She wanted to go upstairs quietly, but didn't turn on the lights. Who knew that as soon as I walked to the staircase, the lights in the living room suddenly turned on.

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw Chen Xiao standing in the living room.

She didn't expect him to be asleep yet, so she was stunned for a moment. Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

As he spoke, he raised his wrist to look at the time.

Gu Shi'an was a little tired, so he said, "Go out for a while." She didn't ask Chen Xiao why he hadn't slept yet, and then continued: "I'll go up first." ”

She said and went upstairs. Without waiting for Chen Xiao to come back, she went into the bathroom.

Gu Shi'an's mind was a little chaotic, she forced herself not to think about anything, leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes to let the hot water wash down her face.

She had no clue where Chang Yan would go, except for Xiaohuzi's house, her small courtyard and where she worked, she couldn't think of where else she could go.

But where she works, the boss went home for the New Year, and she hasn't come back yet, so it's impossible for her to go over.

Gu Shi'an leaned against the wall in a daze, until he was almost out of breath, then he opened his eyes and began to take a bath.

When he went out, Chen Xiao had already come up. Probably she was too obvious, and he glanced at her on the couch. "Got something on your mind?" ”

Gu Shi'an's relationship with him is far from reaching the point where he can talk about his heart. Besides, this matter is related to Chang Yin.

She replied no. I wiped my hair, closed my eyes and lay down on the bed without blowing it.

Chen Xiao didn't seem to see that she didn't want to speak, he glanced at her again and said, "Don't make such a look like you're going to die, just say something, maybe I can find a way." He paused slightly, then asked, "What about work?" ”

His tone was lazy and lazy, obviously not taking Gu Shi'an to heart.

But he is a little different today, and he would never ask about this kind of thing before.

Gu Shi'an still closed his eyes, and replied without thinking: "No." ”

Chen Xiao sneered at this time, but didn't ask anything more.

He didn't know what to do, so he didn't sleep. The light blinded his eyes, Gu Shi'an was a little anxious, and pulled up the quilt and covered his head.

Chen Xiao should have found out, but it didn't take long for him to turn off the lights and go to bed.

As if he knew that Gu Shi'an was not asleep, he snorted and said, "The sky is falling and there is a high top, what are you worried about." ”

He should have thought that Gu Shi'an was at work.

His sneering voice was a little harsh, Gu Shi'an was already irritable, and when he heard his words, he pulled the quilt down and said coldly, "When did you start meddling?" ”

No, her business has always been idle to him.

Chen Xiao was not angry, chuckled lightly, and approached Gu Shi'an. said: "My daughter-in-law's business is my business." How can it be an idle matter? ”

There was a bit of playfulness in his tone.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes and ignored him.

Chen Xiao is a little interested, and he is no longer bored.

Chang Yan Gu Shi'an didn't have a clue about this at all, it was late at night, and the room was very quiet, but she didn't feel sleepy until the sky was slightly bright, and she fell asleep in a daze.

She was worried about Chang Yin, and she slept for less than three hours before getting up. When she went to the bathroom to wash, she noticed a bruise under her eyes, she applied a hot towel to it, and then went downstairs.

It was still early, and the old lady hadn't gotten up yet. Ye Qing got up early, and when she saw Gu Shi'an, she asked her when she came back last night.

She called Gu Shi'an last night, and Gu Shi'an prevaricated by meeting a friend who might come back later.

She asked if she didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to speak, looked at her, and then said with a smile: "I was originally going to wait for you to come back before sleeping, but Ah Xiao heard that you were going to come back late, so he let me go to sleep." Say he's waiting for you. He hasn't slept since you came back, has he? ”

Ye Qing was very happy to see that the relationship between the two was good, and he was smiling.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect that Chen Xiao was deliberately waiting for her to come back, and was slightly stunned. pulled out a smile and said that he hadn't slept, paused slightly, and said, "Aunt Ye, my friend is still in the hotel, I may have to go over." ”

Ye Qing didn't suspect anything, and said, "You go, I'll tell the old lady when she gets up." ”

Gu Shi'an was in a hurry to go out. thanked her, stood up for a moment, and hurried out without even eating breakfast.

Chang Yin's phone still couldn't get through, she was at a loss, and she didn't know where to find Chang Yin. I plan to go back to the old house first, and then go to Chang Yan's small courtyard.

It's still early, it's drizzling all night, and the morning is foggy. Gu Shi'an originally planned to go to the side of the road to take a car. Who knew that before he had walked a few steps, the sound of a car came from behind.

She turned around, and Chen Xiao, who was obviously asleep when she left, rolled down the window. The corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he said lazily: "I also happened to go out, where to go, I'll send you." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't think about it and said, "No, I will take the car myself." ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak, he just looked at her with a smile. After a few tens of seconds, he raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "Do you want me to come down and invite you?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, took a few steps forward, pulled the car door and got into the car.

Early in the morning, Chen Xiao's addiction to smoking is also very big. He took out a cigarette and lit it, and then said lazily, "Where to go?" ”

He has always been a difficult person, Gu Shi'an was silent for a while, and then said, "Just let me go in front." ”

Chen Xiao glanced at her and didn't speak.

In the early morning, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and after driving for a while, Chen Xiao suddenly pulled over. He didn't go to see Gu Shi'an, and said lazily: "I'm hungry, I'll leave after breakfast." ”

As he spoke, he opened the car door and got out of the car.

Gu Shi'an didn't plan to let him send him in the first place. Seeing him get out of the car, he also got out of the car. said, "I'll go first." ”

Chen Xiao locked the car, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Are you sure you won't come?" Don't regret not coming. ”

He said this in a meaningful way, as if he knew something.

Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused at this moment, and when he turned around, Chen Xiao had already walked towards the breakfast shop not far away.

Gu Shi'an blinked in place for a while, but still followed.

At this time, there were not many people in the breakfast shop, and Chen Xiao had already sat down when she passed. I'm lighting something.

This breakfast shop specializes in porridge, and there are various flavors of porridge. The second is pastry. Chen Xiao's appetite was excellent, and he ordered a lot in one go, and then gave the list to the waiter.

What he said just now was unclear, but at this moment, as if nothing happened, he poured himself a cup of tea and sipped slowly.

Gu Shi'an glanced at him and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”

Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders innocently, looked at Gu Shi'an and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

He's playing tricks like this. Gu Shi'an was anxious, his tone stiffened unconsciously, and said, "Didn't you say that I don't regret coming if I don't come?" ”

Chen Xiao sighed at this time, and the waiter was serving porridge and pastries. He pushed it in front of Gu Shi'an, and said slowly: "The porridge and pastries in this shop are very famous in the neighborhood, and it is rare that there are few people today, if they had lined up on the side of the road before." If you don't come in to eat when you pass by, you won't regret it. As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Taste?" ”

He's always been pretty good at pretending to be stupid. As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and slowly drank the porridge.

Gu Shi'an didn't have an appetite, he didn't eat, he stood up and was about to leave.

Just took two steps, Chen Xiao behind him said slowly: "Even if you go back, you can't find anyone." ”

Gu Shi'an looked back at him and sat down in his position again. He stopped going around in circles and asked directly: "Do you know where Chang Yin is?" ”

She just stared at Chen Xiao so closely, as if she wanted to see something on his face.

I don't know what she thought of, and her face showed a little tiredness. She was going to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end, just asked Chen Xiao: "Where is she?" ”

Chen Xiao didn't answer her words, he looked at her with a smile or not, and said, "Are you doubting me?" ”

There was a wicked look on his face, and there was something playful in his tone.

He was like this. It's a precursor to anger.

Gu Shi'an pursed his lips and didn't say anything. After a few seconds, he said stiffly, "No." ”

With Chen Xiao's previous character, he will not give up. Today, however, he was not angry, but picked up the spoon again, and said, "Eat breakfast first." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, picked up the spoon and ate the porridge in front of him.

The more Chen Xiao was like this, the more uneasy her heart became. Where did she have an appetite, she didn't even know how she ate a bowl of porridge.

Chen Xiao ordered a large table of things, but he didn't eat much. Just looked at Gu Shi'an so lightly.

Waiting for the porridge in Gu Shi'an's bowl to finish, he stood up and walked straight outside.

Gu Shi'an also stood up and followed him outside.

When he got into the car, Chen Xiaocai glanced at her with a smile and said, "It turns out that in your eyes, I am a despicable villain." ”

There was a chill in his tone.

Gu Shi'an wanted to say no, but just now, she did doubt Chen Xiao. What if that's the thing...... It has nothing to do with him. How would he know?

She still stiffened and said no.

Chen Xiao sneered at this time. But he didn't pursue the matter any further.

The car drove all the way, and Gu Shi'an was originally going to drive to the city, but he didn't. When he reached the city center, he drove north.

The streets on both sides became more and more unfamiliar, Gu Shi'an was silent for a while, and then asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Chen Xiao glanced at her with a smile and said, "If you're afraid of being sold, it's still too late to get out of the car." ”

There are really thorns in his words anytime and anywhere.

The more remote the car was, the more uneasy Gu Shi'an's heart became. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked again: "Chang Yan...... Where is she? ”

Chen Xiao still looks like he wants to laugh or not. said, "She doesn't need you to worry about it. You think she's the same as you? ”

As soon as his words fell, his cell phone rang. He took a look, picked it up, and fed it.

I didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but he quickly said he knew and hung up.

The car drove for another ten minutes, and Gu Shi'an realized that this was the old city. Chen Xiao looked ahead, found an inconspicuous place and parked the car.

He quickly opened the door and got out of the car, and he didn't know where to take out a peaked cap. Backhanded Gu Shi'an on his head, and said lightly: "Follow me later, don't talk." ”

It's quiet here, and there are few passers-by.

Gu Shi'an nodded, Chen Xiao took out another cap and buckled it, identified the direction, and then walked forward.

Alleys all the way. The houses around are old, all of them are old houses. The old houses were next to each other, and strangely there were no people. Gu Shi'an was inexplicably a little nervous in such a quiet.

Chen Xiao seemed to feel her nervousness, paused slightly, waited for her to walk next to him, reached out and patted her head, chuckled, and said, "What a good boy." ”

His tone was a little different from usual. After a slight pause, he glanced at Gu Shi'an, and then asked, "If you see Chang Yan later, what are you going to do?" ”

Gu Shi'an hadn't thought about this question, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Her subconscious. I always thought that Chang Yan should have had an accident. But she never thought that she was herself......

Gu Shi'an didn't speak for a while, Chen Xiao glanced at her with some playfulness, but he didn't force her, and continued to walk forward with her.
