Chapter 31: Paradise Island
Although Su Yalan replied a few words, Song Xiaofang should have known him when he was in elementary school, but he still confirmed it several times, and then learned the plot in the TV series and pinched his arm fiercely.
"Whew~"
With the burst of pain and a scream, Song Xiaofang was sure that this was not a dream, the goddess really agreed to go to the isolated island with her to adventure, so excited that her hands trembled a little, and carefully dialed Su Yalan's phone.
"Hello? Yalan, do you really want to come with me? ”
In stark contrast to Song Xiaofang's very excited tone, Su Yalan's voice was very flat, but a hint of a smile could be faintly heard
"Well, it's just the day after tomorrow that I'm going to take annual leave, and I haven't figured out where to go yet, so I think it's funny, and my mom agrees with me to go."
After receiving Su Yanan's personal confirmation, Song Xiaofang covered her mouth excitedly, trying her best not to let herself cry out excitedly, and asked a little worriedly
"But, Yalan, you were scared enough last time you went to the escape room, and this time you..."
"Are you embarrassed?"
Su Yalan's tone was obviously blaming
"Obviously you said you weren't scary, but you were scared silly when you went in."
This kind of accusation made Song Xiaofang feel a little embarrassed, but it was more joy, Su Yalan talked to herself like this, which made him feel that the relationship between the two was very close, and he hurriedly laughed with him
"Haha... Last time it was an accident, this time it won't..."
"Humph! Okay, okay, I won't talk to you, I'm going to wash up, and I have to go to work today. ”
Song Xiaofang agreed twice, hung up the phone and threw the phone on the bed, and began to dance like a child, even when he won the award yesterday, he was not so excited.
On the other side, Su Yalan looked at the pictures of the two invitations expressionlessly, a trace of melancholy flashed in her eyes, she yawned a few times, stretched her waist, got up slowly, made a cup of coffee, and slowly walked towards the sink.
After jumping for a few minutes, I don't know if I was tired or excited, Song Xiaofang finally stopped and walked to the washstand, humming a song while squeezing out the toothpaste
"Finally waiting for you, fortunately I didn't give up."
After a brief breakfast, Song Xiaofang dialed Zhang Fan's phone again and said in a slightly smug tone
"I just asked Yalan casually yesterday, but I didn't expect her to tell me just now that she promised to accompany me."
The other end of the phone was obviously quiet for 1,2 seconds, it seemed that Zhang Fan didn't expect Su Yalan to agree to this invitation, and then there was a sneer
"Hmph, it seems that the temptation of 100 catties of gold is not small for anyone."
Song Xiaofang understood what Zhang Fan meant as soon as he heard it, he thought that Su Yalan went with him for the gold, this kind of words sounded very harsh to him, although Song Xiaofang was also very surprised that Su Yalan would uncharacteristically agree to the invitation, but he never thought that she was for money.
"Hey, why do you say that about her? She just happened to be on annual leave and was just looking for a place to relax, do you think she really believes in gold? ”
"Okay, okay, your goddess is always the best, okay?" After taking a soft face, Zhang Fan said uneasily
"If you really get the gold, she can only share your share, and my share is not allowed to move."
It's not that Zhang Fan has any prejudices against Su Yalan, he and Song Xiaofang have played since childhood, the relationship between the two is really good, like brothers, Song Xiaofang has been trapped by love recently, of course, Su Yalan can't be blamed for this matter, Zhang Fan naturally knows this, but it is inevitable that Su Yalan will still have some resistance to it, this is the so-called calf protection, knowing that it is his friend's fault, he also blames others.
Zhang Fan was worried that what he said just now would make Song Xiaofang unhappy again, so he hurriedly changed the topic
"When are you two leaving?"
Song Xiaofang replied while carefully looking at the content on the invitation
"The invitation letter says that the invitee will arrive at Baile Island before the 10th of this month, and there is still a week to go, I just checked, first take a plane to SY City, and then there is a ferry to Baile Island, when will it depart, and we will discuss it when Yalan gets off work."
"I read the news just now that there has been a heavy snowfall over there, so keep warm."
Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Song Xiaofang joked unseriously
"Don't be too nice to me, I'm afraid I'm going to fall in love with you."
"Less nonsense, I'm married."
……
After a few days of preparation, Song and Su also made itinerary arrangements, according to Su Yalan's meaning, there was no point in going too early, so the two set off on the 9th plane, of course, under Su Yalan's repeated insistence, the plane ticket money was AA, which made Song Xiaofang feel a little uncomfortable.
When they arrived in SY City, it was already the morning of the 10th, and the two of them didn't stop much after getting off the plane, and ran directly to the dock with their luggage.
"Hello, is this the 16th ship?"
Hearing Song Xiaofang's inquiry, the crew members, who were originally busy with their heads down, slowly raised their heads, carefully checked the ticket in Song Xiaofang's hand, and nodded slightly
"Hmm... That's right. Then he asked with a hint of suspicion
"What? You're also going to Baile Island? ”
Song Xiaofang also nodded.
The crew waved and motioned for the two to get on the boat, Song Xiaofang casually dragged Su Yalan's suitcase to her side, and freed up one hand to support her arm, Su Yalan tentatively stepped on the stern of the boat, and the other side got on the boat smoothly with the support of the crew and sat down.
"Thank you."
The crew didn't pay attention to Su Yalan's thanks, walked to the stern, took the two suitcases handed over by Song Xiaofang, and returned to the bow without saying a word.
Song Xiaofang leaned over and asked slightly apologetically
"Are you alright?"
Su Yalan didn't speak, just smiled and shook her head.
Song Xiaofang complained as if he shirked his responsibility
"I don't know what's going on, the ticket office said that there is only this one ship to go to Baile Island, I didn't expect it to be so shabby."
The crew lit a cigarette and said angrily
"It's an isolated island, no one goes to it in the first place, plus it's a snowstorm now, and it's going to be closed to the sea, which is good, I don't know how to do it, and a lot of people suddenly came here today, and they have to go there."
Hearing what the crew said, Song Xiaofang knew that the other assistants had already come, so he told the crew
"Dude, hurry up and get on the boat."
The crew glanced at Song Xiaofang and unceremoniously threw the cigarette into the sea
"You're still in a hurry, you don't know there are vampires on that island?"
said so, but the movements of his hands did not stop, and he started the engine very skillfully.
Song Xiaofang looked at Su Yalan all the time, and found that when she heard the word "vampire", her expression changed significantly, thinking that she was scared, and hurriedly urged the crew
"Do you sail a boat or tell ghost stories? Let's go! ”
Just as the crew was about to start, a hurried shout came from the dock
"Hey, wait, wait! I'm also going to Baile Island. ”
The voice was made by a man with glasses, beckoning, as he ran towards Boat 16.
This man, about 30 years old, is not tall and mediocre-looking, the kind of person you see once on the road and forget what he looks like when you look back.
"Hmph, another one." The crew was a little helpless and didn't understand why that island had such a big attraction today. After the man and his luggage were on board, the crew slowly started the boat.
After the man got on the boat, he sat down directly in his seat, gasping for air
"Oops, heck, it's time to work out, I can't stay in the lab all day."
It took about five minutes of breathing to slowly calm down, and he also noticed Song Xiaofang and Su Yanan beside him, adjusted his sitting posture, and took the initiative to greet the two
"You guys, also going to Baile Island?"
Isn't this ship going to Baile Island, asking himself such an obvious question, with a little "mysterious" tone, Song Xiaofang felt a little inexplicable, and just nodded awkwardly.
Seeing that Song Xiaofang gave an affirmative answer, the man's movements were even more exaggerated, and he slowly approached Song Xiaofang's side, and from time to time he glanced at the crew and asked in a low voice
"You two are also here to participate in the gold panning?"
There was only one feeling in Song Xiaofang's mind
"This guy is also a chemist? Is it stupid to read, and it seems to be a little lacking in heart? ”
However, out of politeness, Song Xiaofang still nodded, and in order to cooperate with him, he also followed his example, pretended to look at the crew mysteriously, nodded, and said nothing, as if he was afraid that he would know some secrets.
Su Yalan couldn't help but see Song Xiaofang like this, covering her mouth and snickering.
The man, thinking that he had met a like-minded friend, stretched out his right hand
"My name is Zuo Hongyi."
Song Xiaofang shook hands politely
"Song Xiaofang."
Su Yalan also shook his hand
"Su Yalan."
Zuo Hongyi looked at the pure and lovely Su Yalan, and did not immediately put down her hand, and said with a smile on his face
"I didn't expect that such a beautiful girl as Miss Su also has research on chemistry."
also touched Su Yalan's hand intentionally or unintentionally, Song Xiaofang saw that he shook his hand for so long and did not let go, and his language was so frivolous, he opened his hand, held Su Yalan's hand in his own hand, and accused
"Hey, what are you doing! If you touch someone's hand, you won't let it go! ”
As he spoke, he repeated Zuo Hongyi's actions just now, pretending to accidentally touch Su Yalan's hand, so angry that Su Yalan glared at him angrily and shouted
"You too!"
"Huh? I'm fine, I'm fine. ”
Song Xiaofang wanted to pretend to be innocent and turn this matter over, but Su Yalan disappointed him, directly pulled out her hand, and warned him
"If you do this again, I'll be angry!"
When the atmosphere was awkward, the crew shouted
"It's here!"
The boat slowly approached Baile Island, the vision that was originally shrouded in fog, an isolated island slowly revealed, for some reason, at that moment, Song Xiaofang's heart suddenly rose a sense of isolation and loneliness, the roaring wind, the flying snowflakes, it seemed that it only belonged here, only belonged to this forgotten island, what Song Xiaofang didn't know was that he had stepped into a terrifying nightmare.
