Chapter 8: The Wedding Banquet (4)
How terrible can a person's jealousy be?
It may even endanger innocent people, and no matter what the outcome, the facts do lead to the death of the unfortunate people, and the living can only wash their faces with sorrow. Looking at Yin Shulan's back when she left, An Keqing could only silently say sorry in her heart.
"Xiaoqing, in fact, this matter ...... You and Coco can't be blamed either. Yao Qiubai said.
"Yes." Retracting her gaze, An Keqing sighed softly.
If Tang Jinwen was just Yao Qiubai's friend, they wouldn't have excluded her so much. But before coming to the hotel, Tang Jinwen's behavior made them have to do it.
When they first met Tang Jinwen, they originally thought she was a relatively noisy woman. For the sake of Tang Jinwen and Yao Qiubai's acquaintance, every time they were chatting, Tang Jinwen deliberately suddenly interjected to interrupt them, and Lin Yike endured it several times without scolding.
As a person, they have no basic politeness, so why should they join her. Presumably Yao Qiubai also noticed this, compared to Tang Jinwen, he spent more time with them during the day, but it became such a situation.
An Keqing gently patted Yao Qiubai's shoulder, "Don't think about it, it's late, go back." ”
Yao Qiubai nodded, "Xiaoqing, how are you going back later?" But Keke takes a taxi, why don't you ask Wei Yang to send you? ”
"No, my house is quite close to here, and it's not bad to walk around and blow the wind."
Thanking Yao Qiubai's kindness, An Keqing smiled indifferently, looking at the backs of her friend and Ren Zhengyu when they left, she turned around and was about to leave, but a voice suddenly stopped her.
"An Keqing!"
"Anything else?" Seeing that the person who stopped her was Wei Yang, An Keqing still stopped.
"I have a question, why have you always been so low-key and never shown what you are capable of? Even if you want to, becoming a world-famous detective is not a problem! ”
"Perhaps." An Keqing sighed, but she wasn't very interested in Wei Yang's words, "Everyone has one or two secrets they don't want to tell." I'm not interested in becoming a detective, I just want to live an ordinary life peacefully, if I can. ”
This is the easiest wish for most people to achieve, but it is a luxury for An Keqing. Whether she wants to or not, if she doesn't pay attention, she will be drawn into troublesome events.
"If it weren't for 'them,' I wouldn't have come to Sioux City alone."
"What?"
An Keqing shook her head, and didn't intend to explain, "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first, you still have work to do." ”
"An Keqing, I won't give up."
"Whatever you want." Leaving such a sentence lightly, and never looking at Wei Yang's resolute gaze again, An Keqing sighed in her heart and turned to leave, even if she asked him not to waste time on herself, I'm afraid Wei Yang wouldn't listen to it now.
I only hope that as time goes by, Wei Yang will get completely tired of it before giving up.
The moment she walked out of the hotel door, it began to rain outside unconsciously, and when she looked up and saw the heavy rain pouring down, An Keqing walked out as if she didn't see it, but for two or three seconds, she let her hair and clothes get wet from the heavy rain, completely ignoring the consequences of doing so.
"This young lady, in such bad weather, as a gentleman, I don't approve of Miss going back alone."
The rain above her head suddenly stopped, An Keqing turned her head and looked at the man who appeared next to her in surprise, wearing a handsome European suit with gold on a white background, holding a dark brown umbrella, her short pale blonde hair seemed to exude a faint light under the light, her eyes narrowed slightly and showed a smile, and she could tell at a glance that the appearance of a foreign country that was very different from the Oriental made her stunned.
Seeing that An Keqing was stunned in place and did not react, the man did not mind reaching out and taking one of her hands, leaning down and gently dropping a kiss on the back of his hand, he raised his head with a smile that he thought was polite, "As a gentleman, please allow me to send the lovely young lady home." ”
!!!
An Keqing took a step back from her shock and withdrew her hand to sink her face, what is the situation!!?
"Sorry I haven't introduced myself yet, first time we met, Miss Ann, my name is Louis Noah Francis, please call me Louis." Louis smiled and moved the umbrella a little more in the direction of An Keqing, even ignoring the rain on his body.
An Keqing tried to calm herself, and only after taking a deep breath did she think of a response, "...... Can I help you? ”
Louis blinked his pale blue eyes, smiled and repeated his proposal just now, "I obviously saw that the young lady in front of me was in trouble, but as a gentleman, I couldn't let it go, so I recommended myself to send Miss An home." ”
After a long time, An Keqing gradually understood what the situation of the foreigner in front of her was, she sighed, and could only refuse with the same politeness, "Thank you." But I still don't need to, I don't bother. It was my choice not to hold an umbrella and walk home. ”
"Really? It's really hard to do, so let's do it! Can Miss Ann tell me your contact information? As you can see, I am a foreigner, who has just arrived in this beautiful country, and I finally mustered up the courage to make friends, but I didn't succeed. ”
It's really a set of reasonable arguments, An Keqing has calmed down at the moment, looked at the man in front of her, exploded a string of 11-digit numbers in compromise, and turned around and left when Louis took out his mobile phone to write down the number.
The glass of wine at the banquet had a lot of stamina, even though An Keqing slept in the lounge for a while, but now she began to faint again, at the moment she just wanted to go back early to avoid causing trouble, and it was the same to refuse the kindness of others, she couldn't guarantee what she would do after fainting.
An Keqing felt that she had been walking on the street for a long time, and there seemed to be a strange discussion of pedestrians in her ears, dense rainwater dripping from her hair, flowing into her eyes, and becoming more and more blurred in her vision, An Keqing looked at the familiar bridge into her field of vision, as long as she crossed the bridge, the turn was the entrance of the community where she lived.
As long as...... Crossing the bridge......
She clutched her headache head, her consciousness began to drift again, and before she could step on the first step of the small bridge, her body fell to the side, and the whole person fell into the river next to her, and the cold river instantly surrounded her whole body.
Too bad I can't even move a finger......
A second before she closed her eyes, she saw a hand trying to reach for her.
