Tu Tuqiao said, "Why can't we come?" Cao Jiao and I are brothers, brothers' e-sports competitions, of course I have to come over to help. ”

At this time, Wei Taiqiang came over in a BMW, and he said: "Since this is the case, then let's have another e-sports duel!" ”

Tu Tuqiao said, "Okay. ”

At this time, those people from the Songhai City Center E-sports Club, they also rushed over.

At first, that Tu Tuqiao didn't want to help that Cao Jiao.

However, that Zhao Rujin reminded him: "If that Wei Taiqiang cleans up that Cao Jiao, the next person will be your turn." ”

After Tu Tuqiao thought about it, he decided to go out, because only in this way could he help before that Cao Jiao was completely defeated, so that the competitive pressure of the e-sports market in the future would not fall on his head.

In fact, although that Tu Tuqiao helped that Cao Jiao, he was actually helping himself.

That Tu Tuqiao took the initiative to provoke the courage and no longer evade the responsibility that he should bear.

That Tu Tuqiao is a smart man, he knows when to pretend and when he should step up, and he switches his roles freely at all times.

That Wei Taiqiang could have retreated, but he didn't retreat, he asked that Xu Huiwen to stand up and say: "You guys came here, just so that we can clean you all up in the e-sports competition, I just lack a chance, I didn't expect that I wanted to sleep, so you sent a pillow." ”

Tu Tuqiao said: "Anyone can brag about it, but if you want to achieve the ultimate in e-sports, you must have the strength to guarantee it." ”

Wei Taiqiang said: "Don't worry, we have this strength, and I will completely clean you up here today." ”

Tu Tuqiao said: "I think, it will be you who will be cleaned up today." ”

Tu Tuqiao said: "Everyone is playing e-sports, and they are desperately bragging, is it interesting?" ”

Wei Taiqiang said: "It's not interesting to brag, but it's interesting for me to settle accounts with you." I have 10 esports phones here, we can play against each other, and whoever wins will take those 10 esports phones. ”

Tu Tuqiao said: "Yes, everyone come!" ”

Tu Tuqiao's e-sports players, all frowned, and they started an e-sports showdown?

Tu Tuqiao and they played very well, and both sides were very strong, but the e-sports players of Tu Tuqiao seemed to have more spirit.

For example, tonight is a special occasion, it is Cao Wangrong's birthday. And at the very least, the last minutes of his life.

Let him forget this obsession for the time being, this unsolvable mystery that has cost him a lifetime.

Tu Tuqiao put the wine glass on his desk and moved the pale green notebook around, hesitating to open it one last time. He stared at the post-it note that read "To Cao Wangrong."

In the future, I will leave this notebook, leaving behind the more than 100 pages of content written in the last few days...... To Cao Wangrong

It must be gripping to read, there's no doubt about it.

After all, he himself used to be so convinced...... He had always had an indescribable confidence that there was some evidence, that the puzzle could be solved, that he had just ignored a clue. It was a feeling, just a feeling, but it always lingered...... It is this confidence that supports him to live until today's deadline, and in ten minutes it will be Cao Wangrong's eighteenth birthday...... Maybe it's just his subconscious clinging to this illusion, lest he despair completely. It would be cruel to have been trying to solve a mystery that has no answer for so many years......

I tried my best, and Tu Tuqiao read it again. Now, the rest is none of his business.

I don't care about an unwashed cup. His sticky blood and brains would splatter all over the mahogany desk and waxed floor, making the whole place disgusting. So there's no need to clean up, Tu Tuqiao thought to himself.

He bent down and threw a small piece of leaked cardboard into the fireplace.

This is his last dignity.

The earthen bridge walked gently to the mahogany desk in the corner opposite the fireplace. He opened the middle drawer and pulled out a pistol from his holster, a Mateba gaming computer, almost brand new, with a gray metal body that glistened in the light. Tu Tuqiao's hand groped deeper into the drawer and found three bullets, all of which were point 38 specifications.

But there was no doubt that he was still able to hold the muzzle of the gun against his temple, still hold the gun securely, and pull the trigger.

Even if there were 620 milliliters of wine in his blood, he would not have missed. Only Cao Jiao is excepted!

Xu Qianqian is his, this is the purpose of his here. He didn't come to study, he didn't come to get a diploma, he just came here to accompany her and protect her.

He's a messenger of flowers.

Xie Meihua saw this very clearly.

But what about the rest? What is the relationship between them? Xie Meihua once tried to talk to Xu Qianqian and Cao Jiao, chatting about everything, often looking for opportunities to talk; But I can't talk about why.

Forget it, she gave up for now; Someday, she'll know.

As she was busy cleaning the last few tables, Cao Jiao raised her hand.

"Xie Meihua," he said, "please give us two cups of coffee, and an extra cup of boiling water for Xu Qianqian, okay?" ”

Xie Meihua couldn't help but smile. Cao Jiao never orders coffee by himself, but he always orders coffee when he is with Xu Qianqian. A cup of Americano.

"No problem, couple's coffee will come soon." Xie Meihua replied.

Let's take a look.

Cao Jiao showed an embarrassed smile, but Xu Qianqian didn't, she lowered her head slightly. Xie Meihua didn't find out until now that Xu Qianqian looked very bad this morning, looking haggard, as if she hadn't slept all night, even if she had a standard smile on her face, even if her elegant temperament was a plus. Nervous about exams? Staying up late to review your homework? Rush to report?

No, it's something else.

Xie Meihua emptied the coffee grounds into the trash, flushed the coffee pot, and began to brew two cups of coffee.

It's a serious matter.

It was as if Xu Qianqian was going to have to announce a painful news to Cao Jiao. This kind of breakup date, this kind of heartbreaking meeting, Xie Meihua has seen too much, the dumped boy sat alone in front of the coffee cup, and the girl left a little embarrassed, but since then she has been free. Xu Qianqian looks like the kind of girl who thinks all night, finally makes a decision at dawn, and is ready to bear all the consequences.

Xie Meihua slowly walked to the back of the store, holding two cups of coffee and a cup of boiling water on the tray in her hand.

Poor Cao Jiao, does he know that his fate is sealed? "I'll tell you more, don't worry, don't worry about it. At least you don't have to worry about this ring......"

Xu Qianqian put her hand on Cao Jiao's hand.

"Don't worry, don't worry about it. At least you don't have to worry about this ring......"

These words were churning in Cao Jiao's mind. What does she mean by that? Although Cao Wangrong had a smile on her face as usual and added water to dilute the coffee a little, her complexion this morning was very bad, as if she hadn't slept all night. Suddenly, Xu Qianqian's eyes lit up as if she had made a major decision, she took a few sips of coffee, and lowered her head to rummage in her backpack. She took out a pale green notebook and pushed it towards Cao Jiao.

"Oh, Cao Jiao, it's my turn. It's up to you! ”

A silent sense of unease hit Cao Jiao again.

"What is this?"

"It's a note on Tutu Bridge." Xu Qianqian didn't give Cao Jiao a chance to breathe, and immediately replied, "He sent it to me the day before yesterday, that is, on my birthday." Actually, I should say that he put it in my mailbox, or asked someone to put it in my mailbox, and I only found out yesterday morning. ”

Cao Jiao cautiously touched the notebook with his fingertips. His eyelids trembled again.

It turned out to be this notebook, the notebook of Tutu Bridge...... He understands now. Xu Qianqian had been reading this notebook repeatedly all day and night before...

Cao Jiao tried to find clues from Xu Qianqian's eyes. What did she see in this notebook? What truth was discovered? A new identity? Finally found inner peace? Or nothing? It's just questions that don't have answers......

Xu Qianqian didn't see anything unusual on the surface. In this regard, she is too powerful. She slowly added the water to her coffee as a ritual, sipping it in small sips.

"Cao Jiao, this notebook, he finally handed it over to me. He always said that he would give it to me, and sure enough, he kept his promise and took the truth of the matter as my adult gift. ”

Xu Qianqian laughed, more anxious than comfortable in her laughter. Cao Jiao hesitated whether to take the notebook.

"So what......" he muttered, "is there anything important in the journal?" You...... Do you finally know now? ”

Xu Qianqian evaded again, she moved her eyes out the window and the campus of the Eighth University, where students passed by in twos and threes.

"Know what?"

Cao Jiao couldn't help but feel a wave of annoyance in his heart. The words roared in his mind, but he didn't blurt out: "I know the reason why that private detective can get so much of a salary!" I know who you are, Cao Wangrong. Know who you are! ”

Xu Qianqian's left hand casually played with the ring platform. Cao Jiao became more and more impatient, but she seemed indifferent to it, perhaps tired, perhaps indifferent.

"It's your turn, Cao Jiao. It's your turn to read this notebook. ”

Cao Jiao's thoughts were in a mess, and he didn't even have the heart to think about the weird ring Xu Qianqian was wearing. Who sent her? When was it delivered? Why send it? He only saw himself take the notebook, and heard himself say:

"Okay, little dragonfly, I promise you...... This damn notebook, I'll read it......"

He paused for a moment, then added:

"But what about you, are you okay?"

"It's okay...... Don't worry. I'm okay. ”

Xu Qianqian dipped her lips in the coffee, only lightly dipping it, as if she was reluctant to drink it.

No! Not good at all.

Xu Qianqian had something to hide from him. It was something that was discovered by a Tutu Bridge and written in a notebook. Is it her identity?

"Did Tutuqiao say anything? I mean, did the notebook come with a message? ”

"No, but everything I have to say is in the notebook......"

"So what?"

"You can read it. It's better to read it yourself. ”

"Where's Tutu Bridge? Where is he now? "I've been thinking about these questions for a long time. It's really incomprehensible.

In front of her, an older, almost gray-haired, perhaps forty-something inline rider stared at her. Competing against other players, he has won so far. He took off his leather jacket and didn't miss an opportunity to show off his strong muscles under his T-shirt. With a deep and sharp gaze, he scanned the entire square like a bird of prey, and this gaze always ended up on Cao Wangrong's blue eyes. Everything about him, from the grace of a plastic triangular pyramid to the angular and delicate features, is reminiscent of a predatory bird of prey.

Among a group of inline wheel players, Cao Wangrong didn't even notice him. She was thinking about the gift she gave to Cao Jiao, thinking about the gloomy layout.

Is it really necessary?

Tears began to well-up in the corners of her eyes. She had no choice but to open Cao Jiao first, for a few hours or a few days, not to let him wade into this troubled water, to protect him. Then, when it was all over, maybe she would have the courage to explain it to him. Cao Jiao cared about her so much. Do you care about her...... At the end of the day, who do you care?

She smiled.

His Cao Wangrong, his dragonfly...... Oh my God, she's willing to give everything just to be able to have a normal and ordinary name. Just one!

The silver-haired inline wheel player roared past Cao Wangrong. She was startled and snapped back from her thoughts. She couldn't help but smile. Although the weather is very cold, it should be less than 10 degrees Celsius.

He now looked at Cao Wangrong's body recklessly, as if he was weighing the advantages and disadvantages. He seemed to have completely turned back into a bird. His courtship dance is very skillful, and he dances without awkwardness. How many times has he done this? How many girls have fallen into his clutches?

All?

Cao Wangrong looked at him directly for a moment, and also took a look at his appearance.

She fell into her own thoughts again. She must not feel sorry for herself. Right now, it's not her last name or name that matters. She had to act quickly, and alone.

She had made up her mind. Now that she already knows the truth and knows the terrible truth, she has no choice but to face it.

Cao Wangrong's gaze was lost in the distance. She thought about Cao Jiao, who was trapped in the bar.

She was the one who trapped him there. Fifteen minutes left. After that, he will find a way to call her, and that's for sure. She took the handbag and turned it off. She must remain invisible and incommunicado with the outside world, at least for the time being.

Just as a gunshot scared off a flock of swallows, the dozen or so inline wheel players suddenly left in the direction of Invalides under the order of the silver-haired boss, probably because he had failed to court, and he felt frustrated or annoyed. Plastic orange triangular pyramids, jackets and T-shirts all vanished like a whirlwind, leaving only an empty gray asphalt road.

Cao Wangrong smiled anxiously.
