I carried a bag of vegetables and pressed the doorbell of Qinghe's house.

The one who opened the door was Qinghe's sister, Qingyu.

"Hello, Sister Qingyu."

I greeted her with a smile.

"Hmm, Sister Lianwen! Dinner tonight is saved! ”

Ahaha, that's straightforward.

I smiled wryly, Qingyu had already run behind me and pushed me through the door with a grunt.

Qinghe's mother was in the kitchen and suddenly became excited when she saw me coming in.

Wow, what a heavy smell of oil smoke, what's going on.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, a strong smell of oil smoke rushed to my nose. There seemed to be some food in the wok, and I used "what" to describe it because I couldn't see his shape, just a black mass of goo, surrounded by yellow oil, and I couldn't tell what his origin was.

"I wanted to try a new dish, but I didn't seem to have succeeded."

Lianwen's mother said thoughtfully, looking very calm.

"If you don't turn off the fire, it's going to burn."

This kind of calm is very Qinghe's style, should I say that it is worthy of his mother.

After a lot of hard work, I was able to finish the main dish. Tonight, I made cumin beef tenderloin, shredded cabbage, stir-fried loofah with king oyster mushroom, Italian shrimp noodles, mapo tofu, and helped Lianwen's mother finish the shredded pork in Beijing sauce that she originally wanted to make, and the black thing turned out to be shredded pork in Beijing sauce.

I heard the sound of the door opening, it should be Qinghe coming back, so I ran to the door and started the daily entertainment program - Xiao Lianwen's sketches and cross talk. Qinghe's reaction every time is very interesting.

But today he didn't play with me, which made me a little disappointed.

After dinner, Qingyu's sister clamored to go to the supermarket, and Lianwen's mother went with her.

Only two people left in the huge house, Qinghe and me.

This kind of perfect opportunity doesn't come often, and if you don't do something, you're sorry for Sister Qingyu.

I finished washing the dishes and as soon as I came out I heard the sound of water filling in the bathroom.

Oh ho ho.

It's a good opportunity to play a trick on him.

I removed the large bath towel from the balcony hanger and went into the bathroom bathroom. Qinghe's bathroom consists of two parts, the first door opens to the washroom, and the second door enters the bathroom. I stripped naked in the washroom and opened the bathroom door.

How would he react to this special service that was specially tailored to him?

Why do I say that?

"You, it's really Qinghe, right?"

It may sound inexplicable to others.

But seeing the way he looked, it was a question that made me very concerned.

Now he is still the same person, but from time to time he becomes a Qinghe I don't know. Am I afraid that this will happen again? I don't understand it myself.

Hear me this strange question. Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and then actually showed a relieved expression. I can't tell if it's true or not, but there's no need to be fake. If I assume it's true, then things get even more confusing.

"Really...... Right? ”

I can't figure out my train of thought anymore, and I need a confirmation.

But he didn't give me an answer.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

What happened to everything, what exactly happened?

I turned around and looked at him wistfully.

"Not really."

An unexpected answer. But I felt the mood change all at once, and he seemed to understand something.

"Yes...... Is it? ”

He looked like he wanted me to know something, but he didn't have to look like he needed it now.

To figure it all out, I decided to follow him after he sent me home.

I put on a black trench coat, sunglasses and a mask, put on a black hat, and looked at my whole body in front of the mirror, feeling as if I could blend perfectly into the night without being doubted by anyone.

There is something strange about him at night, and maybe I can feel it again.

However, he was riding the tram, and he must have been faster than me, a walker. In order to catch up with him, I searched the parking space downstairs and found a public bicycle, which is a new technology that puts a power bank into the energy slot of the bicycle, which can drive the bicycle forward and convert it into a moped, of course, slightly faster than a bicycle.

I took out the power bank from my little satchel and moved faster, and now I can't see Qinghe's figure. But I probably know which direction he's going.

Go west along Nanqing Road, change to northbound at the intersection of Tiandi Road, go north along Tiandi Road is commonly known as Tianxing, and go south is commonly known as Earth Xing, but Tianxing and Earth Walking are relative after all. The central intersection of Tiandi Road is Qiandong Station, based on Qiandong Station, the entire Tiandi Road is divided into "Tianduan" and "Lot", because Qiandong Station is in our northwest, so the section where I am now belongs to the "South Section", and my current position and direction of movement is also commonly known as "Lot Tianxing".

Turn east at Lot 2 intersection and you will enter Sendo Street. This road is full of new office buildings, almost every office building without a roof, the first few floors including the road square are used as commercial land, if you want to shoot a promotional video of Qianshan City, the "prosperous" and "modern" part, must be indispensable here. And the next shot must be the "quaintness" and "breath of life" of Dongyang Road. I'm not convinced, it's clear that the life atmosphere of Xiando East Road is not inferior to Dongyang Road.

While fighting for the place where Qinghe lives, he has enough strength to try his best to catch up with Qinghe. The slotted bikes have been modified to a certain extent, with a button on the handlebar to start the boost, which I've turned up to "max", and with the power of the pedals, the speed is no slouch. What's more, unexpectedly, Qinghe's driving speed today is not too fast, and I don't know what happened.

As he passed by the commercial building of Yukijo Plaza, his speed suddenly became slower, and he looked at the temporary stage in the middle of the square from time to time, and he did not usually look like a person who would be attracted to this kind of "temporary dance bar".

Then, he suddenly turned around, and I couldn't help but startle me, thinking that he had found out. But instead of coming in my direction, he got on the sidewalk and headed back.

I hurriedly turned around, but soon I understood the purpose of his U-turn. I saw two familiar faces.

“？！”

I even thought I was wrong. A face that has been absent for many years, just for a moment, makes me unforgettable.

Arbor.

He was my past playmate with Qinghe, an excellent guitarist. He used to live in the same building as me, he was on the 20th floor and I was on the 3rd floor. He is quite active and lively, and although he lives on the 20th floor, he prefers to climb stairs to elevators, so I often bump into a panting tree with a guitar on his back at the entrance of the stairs.

My mom and his mom were acquaintances, but they were just nodding their heads and occasionally meeting at the supermarket for a chat. Their topic is often limited to the two of us, it is said that because Qiao Mu is too active, his mother forced him to learn guitar, how did he expect that he was talented, and soon got a letter of recommendation, and after a simple moral education interview, he was admitted to an excellent art middle school in a foreign place in advance. It is said that if you go to that junior high school, you can get a ticket to perform overseas. So the family moved out of the city for the sake of the child, and I haven't seen him since.

He was my savior, truly. So I've always been grateful to him, and after he left, I would call him or email him every once in a while, but he rarely replied to me. Maybe it's because we're too busy training, or maybe it's some reason that our connection is gradually broken. But to this day, when I think about it, I still feel grateful to him. Since then, I haven't even been able to say "thank you" to him properly.

But why is he here?

And the girl walking beside him is even more concerning, it is actually the athlete of our class - willow incense.

Why did the two of them walk together?

Qinghe stopped the car and followed the two of them, seemingly following, exactly what I was doing now.

I'm tracking Qinghe, and Qinghe is tracking arbors and incense sticks.

What a fantastic situation.

I also stopped the car and, with the help of the crowd, approached Qinghe covertly. Qinghe was quite vigilant, walking briskly in small steps, interspersed with the crowd from time to time, and the speed was quite fast. I also unconsciously quickened my pace, my heart pounding, and nervousness pounding on my every pore.

The distance between the three of us was shrinking, and I could already see them.

Suddenly, a strange sensation struck.

Qinghe suddenly stopped, and I hurriedly stopped.

[I looked ahead, and Qiao Mu and incense suddenly held hands. After a while, the incense stick even rested her head on Qiao Mu's arm. 】

……

I see.

[Suddenly, Qinghe, who was staring at them, stepped forward quickly and stopped Qiao Mu. 】

I also tried to step forward. But......

Wow.

I was suddenly hit by the man on my right, and I was unconsciously startled. The man said "I'm sorry" to me and hurried away. He can't be blamed for this, after all, there are a lot of people, and I will definitely run like this if I run fast.

Huh?

When I looked at them again, Qinghe suddenly disappeared.

"Arbor ......?"

I ran anxiously, and the arbor stood in place with a puzzled expression.

Seeing me, Qiao Mu's eyes became very frightened.

"Why are you here?"

"Where did Qinghe go?!"

Realizing that my tone might be a bit rude, I calmed down and asked again.

"Qiao Mu, have you seen Qinghe?"

"Just came over and said hi...... And he walked back. ”

The arbor seems to be completely out of condition.

"Well, I see!"

I was about to turn my head away, but suddenly I realized something.

I looked at the arbor.

"Why ......? Why didn't you say hello to us when you're back? Even a phone call would be fine. ”

[There was anger in my tone, and I didn't know where that anger came from.] 】

"Ah...... I'm sorry. ”

He said to me, circling around his head.

"The ......"

I hesitated.

"Thank you."

I bowed deeply, and this sentence contained many layers of meaning.

"I'll get back in touch."

I made up a hasty remark, and immediately turned and ran. Now is not the time to catch up with him, Qinghe is the most important thing.

I ran all the way, out of breath, [once I exercised intensely, my eyes would ache faintly, and there was really no way to eradicate the old disease. 】

[I clutched my left eye in pain, and my vision became blurry.] 】

I shook my head vigorously to clear myself up, and then I realized that I had run back to where I had parked.

However, now there is no way to find Qinghe's car.

……

I searched again for a while, and sure enough, I couldn't see his car. It means that he has left.

“……”

I had a hypothesis in my mind that had always existed, but I didn't want to take it seriously.

"As for the blow?"

I said to myself.

[I sighed, and after thinking about it, I think I still know where he's going.] 】

I found a public bicycle again, and I left Yugi Castle Square.

[I looked at my phone, and it showed that it was 10:30 p.m.] 】
