Chapter 7: Stubborn Old Schoolmates
"What's going on?" Guo Yingxin sat up straight and looked at her old classmate curiously.
"First, besides you, your father or mother is also a doctor. You look at these tomes of medical books. Liu Xiaodong pointed to the thick book of "Clinical Practice of Cardiovascular Diseases" on the side of the coffee table. He knew that Guo Yixin was a nurse, and it was unlikely that he would read this kind of book.
Guo Yixin nodded: "Well, this is easy to see......"
"This is easy. Second, I guess, you and your dad had a fight! Liu Xiaodong continued.
Guo Yingxin was stunned: "How do you know?" ”
"Because from the time I entered the door to the time your dad walked into the room, you didn't even look at your dad."
Guo Yixin tilted her head and smiled, noncommittal. But it was true that before Liu Xiaodong came, she quarreled with her father for a few words.
"And, third...... You're sick to your stomach today, I guess you ate the wrong thing, haha! ”
Guo Yixin was taken aback: "You can see this?" ”。
In fact, in the past few days, she has been on her period, and her stomach has been hurting.
Liu Xiaodong said lightly: "In the process of talking to me, you touched your stomach twice with your hand, and you frowned when you touched it. ”
"Hehe, Liu Xiaodong, you should be a policeman!" Guo Yixin shouted. Unexpectedly, several of his inadvertent small movements were captured by attentive old classmates.
Actually, Liu Xiaodong has already seen that Guo Yixin is on a period. Because there was a bowl of boiled eggs with brown sugar on the table, covered with a transparent gauze cover, as if half drunk. Guo Yixin's dining room and living room are connected together, Liu Xiaodong glanced at the dining table after entering the door, and saw the bowl of brown sugar eggs. Liu Xiaodong's ex-girlfriend had to eat this when she came to her period, and when he saw Guo Yixin touching her stomach twice, it was easy for him to speculate. But girls come to menstruation after all, it is private, and Liu Xiaodong is not good at saying it directly.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and Liu Xiaodong got up to say goodbye.
When he walked to the door, Liu Xiaodong suddenly remembered something and said: "But there is something I really want you to help with, and the club wants me to go to the field to see, which is where you have an accident...... I don't know if you remember the approximate location? ”
Guo Yingxin's eyes widened: "You are going to Lop Nur?!" ”
Liu Xiaodong spread his hands and said: "No way, this is work." ”
Guo Yixin lowered her head and muttered for a moment, then raised her head and asked again, "Are you really going to the place where the accident happened?" ”
"This is the reason why our column is better than our peers, we pursue the truth with pictures!" Liu Xiaodong said while putting on his shoes. He thought, Guo Yixin wouldn't want to stop himself from going to Lop Nur, right? It seems that her psychological shadow is more serious than imagined.
"I'll go with you!" Guo Yixin said suddenly.
This was completely unexpected! Liu Xiaodong couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say?" ”
"I'll go with you!"
"What are you going to do?"
After being silent for a while, Guo Yingxin said quietly: "You are not allowed to laugh at me, I have been dreaming of my boyfriend for the past few days...... He kept saying in his dreams that I should take him home! ”
"This ......" Liu Xiaodong felt that the female classmate was too emotional! It's normal to dream, you think about it day and night, what can you do when you go to Lop Nur?
"I'll tell you the truth, if my boyfriend didn't push me at the critical moment, I wouldn't be able to come back!" Guo Yixin said and tears fell.
Liu Xiaodong didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and hurriedly rummaged through his pockets to find tissues.
"I'm sorry......" Guo Yixin wiped the tears from her cheeks, "You may think it's too abrupt!" Actually, I just wanted to pay my respects to him and send his favorite coin...... During his lifetime, he was fond of collecting coins. ”
Liu Xiaodong sighed and said, "I think what you need most now is to divert your attention. No matter how big things are, you have to look forward! I suggest you don't go. ”
He finally found a crumpled tissue from his body, hesitated for a moment and handed it to Guo Yixin.
In fact, the society did not say that Liu Xiaodong should go to Lop Nur at all, it was Liu Xiaodong who wanted to go. Lop Nur has recently had two or three accidents in a row, and a visit to the accident site must be newsworthy. But Liu Xiaodong doesn't know whether the leaders will approve it.
Guo Yixin said: "I understand the reason, but I am not impulsive, I have been thinking about this this week." If I can't go with you, I'll have to find a way to go by myself! ”
Liu Xiaodong knows very well that from a reporter's point of view, going to the accident site with the parties is more attractive. But with the current mental state of the old classmate, if she wants to go to that barren land thousands of miles away, she will definitely not be able to bear it.
Thinking about going to Lop Nur, Liu Xiaodong said: "That's it, you think about it again." In fact, the club has not yet made a final decision on going to Lop Nur, and it may not be possible for a while, so I will contact you again! ”
This is also a delaying tactic, Liu Xiaodong hopes that Guo Yixin will give up this strange idea in a few days.
"You contact me as soon as possible, I must go!" Guo Yixin wiped away her tears with a crumpled tissue like she had used, and it seemed that she was determined to return to Lop Nur.
"Okay! Do you remember that location? ”
"I remember the location there very well, 90.07 east longitude, 40.44 north latitude."
Liu Xiaodong hurriedly took out his mobile phone and remembered: "You remember it very well!" ”
Guo Yixin said slowly: "At that time, I took a special look at the GPS...... It was my boyfriend who taught me to pay attention to the GPS when getting off the bus in the wild. After I reported the crime, I took the police to look there. ”
Bidding farewell to his old classmates, Liu Xiaodong, who returned to the office, immediately turned on the computer and searched for the coordinates that Guo Yixin gave him.
On the satellite map, the location is far away from Provincial Highway 235, and it is also a drive away from several famous scenic spots in Lop Nur such as Loulan Ruins, Longcheng Yadan, Xiaohe Cemetery, etc. Guo Yixin: How did they run to that place?
Liu Xiaodong told Editor Wang about the idea of visiting Lop Nur. After knowing that Liu Xiaodong's interview failed, Editor Wang also supported him to go to Lop Nur, so he took him to the president.
But the president didn't agree. The president said that going to Lop Nur is still secondary, mainly because of the long distance and the shortage of funds in the society.
Liu Xiaodong secretly scolded the president for his low emotional intelligence, if he said it the other way around, it would make people feel comfortable! I don't know how he got to be the president.
scolded in his heart, Liu Xiaodong still knew the president with reason and moved with affection. He said that several cases of disappearances in Lop Nur have attracted national attention, and no media has yet visited the site, and the only surviving party is her old classmate, and she is likely to enter Lop Nur with her, so she can do an exclusive feature report.
The president, who has low emotional intelligence, has a high IQ and agreed to Liu Xiaodong's application the next day.
Liu Xiaodong whistled back to the office, hesitated for a while at the mobile phone on the table, and finally picked up the mobile phone and dialed Guo Yixin. In fact, he told the president that the old classmate wanted to go to Lop Nur with him, but it was just an expedient measure for him to persuade the president. This trip to Lop Nur is not a leisure tour, and Liu Xiaodong does not want to take Guo Yixin there.
Liu Xiaodong told Guo Yixin that the company promised to help him buy 1 million accident insurance, so he reluctantly agreed to go to Lop Nur, and finally said that he could mourn her boyfriend on her behalf......
"How can this kind of thing be replaced by someone else? Do me a favor and take me with you!" ”
Guo Yingxin's tone was still as stubborn as two days ago.
"We wouldn't agree, it's risky! Our leaders are timid ......" In order to persuade Guo Yixin, Liu Xiaodong has "unscrupulous means".
"Really?" After hesitating for a second, Guo Yixin said again, "But I have to go!" In this way, I write a disclaimer that if something really happens, I won't cause trouble to your unit! ”
"I have to ask the leader for this...... Our leader is still stingy, and he is afraid of spending more money if he brings outsiders! You don't know, this person's emotional intelligence is very low. ”
"No, it's not like I don't pay!"
"Well, I'm afraid that he will be embarrassed to say it, and then he will be afraid of spending more money, and finally he won't agree......"
"Liu Xiaodong, how do I feel that you don't want to take me? Give me your leader's phone! ”
Guo Yixin is persevering, due to the recent accident in Lop Nur, all travel agencies have no longer organized groups into Lop Nur, and Liu Xiaodong is her only choice at present.
When it came to this, Liu Xiaodong had to agree if he didn't agree, so he said: "I see that you are not immortal in Lop Nur, you can do it...... I'll do it here, leader! You just need to discuss it with your family, your parents agree, and I guarantee that it will be okay. ”
Just a few minutes after hanging up the phone, Guo Yixin called again and said that her father was looking for him.
