Chapter 31: Purple hairpin
Waterriver City.
Xi Xinghe stood in front of the altar in an ink-colored robe with his hands in his hands.
Wu Man bowed and stood to the side, his face solemn.
"Xingjun, the hexagram shows that the Tianqi Star is in South China, and the next ...... What are your plans? ”
"For the time being, it's going as planned." Xi Xinghe lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "There is someone who needs you to find out the origin." ”
"Yes." Wu Man bowed respectfully, "Who is the person you want to check......?" ”
"Tong Wan."
Xi Xinghe's condensed eyes suddenly lifted, and a strange emotion lingered in his heart.
Jingxi's night attack, he originally thought that the group was coming for him, but after last night's incident, he found that their target did not seem to be himself, but Tong Wan, who happened to be with him every time.
But as for why Tong Wan and how she was targeted by those people, he didn't know.
However, now that they know the target of their prey, it is only a matter of time before they follow the prey to find out who is behind the scenes.
Turning half of his face slightly, Xi Xinghe continued, "This matter is very important, except for you and me, remember not to make a noise." ”
"Yes."
Wu Man bowed and bowed, bowing his head and retiring.
……
Vagas Building.
Tong Wan was walking out of the printing room with a thick pile of printed materials, and was about to push the door, when she saw Fang Qian pinching her mobile phone and rushing past the glass door in a panic, almost tripping over the trash can next to her.
Tong Wan was stunned for a moment, went out, and looked in the direction of Fang Qian's back.
"Team Leader!" Suddenly, the fat man came over.
Tong Wanzheng was bored, and was shouted coldly by the fat man, her eyes were closed, and she turned her head half-thought, "What's wrong?" ”
"The front desk said that someone downstairs was looking for you." Ding Fat scratched his head.
"Did you tell me who it was?" Tong Wan handed the information in his hand to Ding Fatzi's hand.
Ding Fat shook his head.
"Okay, you check these materials one last time, and I'll go downstairs and have a look."
Enter the elevator and go down to the lobby front desk.
Tong Wan saw that the front desk lady was chatting hotly with a man with his back to him, and when he saw him approaching, the front desk lady suddenly got up and gave her a sweet smile, "Team Leader Tong is here!" ”
The man was also turned his head by the voice of the front desk lady, and after seeing Tong Wan, his originally bright and clear eyes suddenly flashed, and there seemed to be a little more obscure sadness than just now.
"You're here?" Jiang Da smiled slightly.
Tong Wan rubbed her fingers a little crampedly, she didn't expect Jiang Da to find here, let alone that he would continue to come to find her.
"Is there something wrong with looking for me?" Tong Wan asked lightly, she thought that when she was in Jingxi, she had already shown herself.
"I can't come to you if it's okay." Jiang Da came closer.
Tong Wan unconsciously stepped back.
Jiang Da's eyes darkened suddenly, "You reject me like this?" ”
"I'm ......" Tong Wan paused and pointed to the reception area in the hall, "...... Let's go to the side and talk about it. ”
"Actually, I'm here to ...... Nothing else......" Jiang Da's neat short hair reflected an indescribable gloom, "I just want to see how you've been doing lately." ”
"It's still the same."
Tong Wan smiled symbolically, but out of politeness, she still asked back, "What about you, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
"I'm so busy......"
Tong Wan's casual question seemed to inexplicably ignite Jiang Da's mood, the haze on his brows swept away, and he winked at Tong Wan, "Busy catching thieves, busy helping grandma cross the road, and busy...... Miss you......"
“……?” Tong Wanyuan's round eyes narrowed, "Come less." ”
Jiang Da laughed, then slowly took out a small square iron box from his arms and handed it to Tong Wan, "Oh, I'll give it to you." ”
"Huh?" Tong Wan looked at him with some surprise, "What is it?" ”
"Open it and take a look." Jiang Da pointed to the tin box with his chin.
"Thank you, but I can't take it." Tong Wan waved her hand very gratefully, although she loves money very much, she still has the bottom line of basic principles, even if it is ill-gotten gains, not earned with her own hands, she resolutely can't ask for it!
"Don't worry, it's not a priceless thing." Jiang Da hesitated Tong Wan a little, so he simply opened the iron box himself, took Tong Wan's hand, and poured the contents on her palm.
"Is this ......?!"
His eyes fell on the palm of his hand, Tong Wan's mouth suddenly tightened together, and his heart seemed to miss a beat.
"This hairpin?!" Tong Wan covered her mouth incredulously, and a layer of hazy starlight gradually welled up in her eyes, "How could it be there for you?!" ”
Jiang Da's lowered eyes trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say a hundred words at the same time, but in the end, he just looked at Tong Wan gently, and said slowly, "Because I picked it up." ”
A few pieces of paint have fallen sporadically on the small lilac hairpin, revealing the bare skeleton at the bottom, and a yellowed metal butterfly is thinly attached to one end of the hairpin, shaking gently, and the two wings are flapping up and down, which seems to still carry the floral fragrance of the little bearded girl's hair.
Tong Wan stared at the hairpin, and in an instant, those memories of the past poured out.
She looked up at Jiang Da, under her neat short hair was a pair of angular eyebrow bones, and there was an imperceptible thin scar on the side of the left eyebrow, the scar did not grow over time, it remained forever in those countless long springs, summers, autumns and winters, and remained in the girl's closed heart.
It is the impulse and romance that belongs to teenagers, and it is the justice that belongs to a little man who stands up when a girl is bullied.
"Jiang Da, you are Jiang Da......"
In the mist, Tong Wan murmured.
"You've finally remembered me." Jiang Da chuckled, and the light in his eyes was all sprinkled on Tong Wan's body.
"Happy birthday." After a while, he suddenly said with a serious face.
Birthday?
Tong Wan finally realized that today was her birthday!
After so many years, there are still people who remember their birthdays.
Tong Wan carefully put the hairpin into the box, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, probably in this world, besides herself, the only person who can remember her birthday may be Jiang Da.
Snorting, Tong Wan stretched out his finger and gently touched the corner of Jiang Da's eyebrows, his voice mixed with the apology and distress of the past, "Jiang Da, thank you." ”
Jiang Da's hand was gently raised, hanging in the air, he wanted to reach forward and touch the hand that was as soft as the wind, but his fingers trembled, and he grabbed his hair, "I'm not allowed to say thank you." ”
Tong Wan smiled and took his hand back.
"You...... Are you free at night? Jiang Da asked cautiously.
"It's not good, you may have to work overtime." Tong Wan spread her hands helplessly.
"He ......" the corners of Jiang Da's mouth curled, "Is he good to you?" ”
"Huh?"
"I mean, Xi Xinghe."
"Huh......" Tong Wan shook his head, and then waved his hand with disgust, "He's a standard capitalist, he won't give up if he doesn't squeeze employees to the last second." ”
Jiang Da didn't speak, he just quietly listened to the sudden extra excited tone in Tong Wan's voice when he described Xi Xinghe.
Suddenly, he glanced at his mouth and pretended to be jealous and said, "Haven't they all been officially announced in the media?" Is he doing this to you? ”
"Shhhh
Tong Wan suddenly made a silent gesture, pulled Jiang Da aside, and explained in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, he and I are completely hyping CP, to put it bluntly, it is to use each other and take what they need!" ”
"Huh?" A glimmer of golden light flashed in Jiang Da's eyes, "You mean, you have nothing to do with him?" ”
"Hmm!!" Tong Wan nodded vigorously.
"Great!!" Jiang Da suddenly laughed happily.
The front desk lady was attracted by his suddenly soaring voice, and Tong Wan immediately "shhh
Jiang Da's eyebrows and eyes regained their former vitality, and when he looked at Tong Wan, he felt that he could do it again.
"Since you don't have time today, what about the weekend, are you free for the weekend?" Jiang Da asked.
"Weekends do." Tong Wan said.
"Then it's decided, I'll make up for your birthday on the weekend!" Jiang Da was excited like a little boy.
Tong Wan smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
……
Sending Jiang Da away, Tong Wan glanced at the time, 8:45.
With a sigh of relief, Tong Wan smiled bitterly and continued to go back to work overtime.
As she walked to the elevator, she suddenly heard someone whispering in the fire escape.
I couldn't help but wonder for a while, it was so late, and the cleaning aunt had already gotten off work, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be anyone in the fire escape at this time, but that shadowy voice does exist.
Tong Wan was slightly hairy, although she was an atheist, but since she was broken by Xi Xinghe, she felt that there was really some kind of mysterious power in this world.
After hesitating, Tong Wan still moved lightly towards the fire road.
- "Dad! Don't talk about it, I really don't have that much money for my brother right now! ”
- "Didn't you just get 30,000 yuan last month, and you ran out so quickly?!" ”
- "I know, can't you let me take it easy! I want to live myself! Can you think about it for me? ”
- "In your heart, is it your son or my daughter who is important!" I'll give you back this life! ”
The voices in the fire escape grew in pain, and at the end they even roared through gritted teeth.
Tong Wan leaned against the door, estimating that it was probably another embarrassing original family dispute.
Sighing, she was about to turn around and leave, but the door behind her was suddenly opened, and then a crying woman with pear blossoms and rain ran out of it.
When the woman saw herself, she was startled at first, and then the panic on her face was immediately swept away, and she turned to extreme shame and anger.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, gritted her teeth and asked Tong Wan, "What did you hear?!" ”
"I ...... It's not ......" Tong Wan felt that no matter what she said now, she would definitely not believe it, so she simply lowered her head apologetically and apologized silently, "I'm sorry." ”
"Eavesdropping on other people's phones, Tong Wan, you are shameless!!"
Fang Qian glared fiercely, and after speaking, she entered the elevator aggressively.
