When Zhang Chuchu said this, Cheng Rao's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, almost jumping out of her throat, blood surged into her head, and her eyes turned black for a while.

"Cheng Rao? Are you alright? Zhang Chuchu saw Cheng Rao like this, raised his hand and shook it in front of her.

After feeling Zhang Chuchu's movements, Cheng Rao came back to her senses and turned her head to look at her.

Then, she asked Zhang Chuchu: "Which city did you meet in country M?" ”

Zhang Chuchu said: "Kzhou, I'm studying for graduate school over there." ”

Cheng Rao: "Got it." ”

After replying to Zhang Chuchu's words, Cheng Rao stood up and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

Zhang Chuchu looked at Cheng Rao with a confused expression, not knowing what was going on with her at all.

**

Entrance to the banquet hall.

When the squad leader saw the man in a white sweater and light-colored jeans, he immediately smiled.

She walked up, patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You kid is here, why didn't you go with Cheng Rao?" ”

The smile on his face froze when he heard the name, and then he asked her, "She's here?" ”

"Yes, it's been a while," the squad leader touched his chin, "I said, you two shouldn't have really quarreled, right?" ”

"No, how could it be." When he mentioned this, he smiled very softly.

"I'll just say, how can you two quarrel, model couples aren't covered." The squad leader regained his smile and teased.

He smiled and didn't answer.

Soon, someone else came, and the squad leader immediately went to greet them, and he stood alone.

During this period, many classmates passed by, and he greeted them one by one.

More than two years after graduation, everyone has changed a lot.

However, almost all of them had a peaceful life.

Whether it is graduate school or work, everyone's life is smooth and stable.

He occasionally heard passers-by complain about how tiring they were from working now, and they wanted to pick and choose......

Listening to these complaints, he was faintly envious.

A peaceful, repetitive life has become a luxury for him.

**

Cheng Rao stayed in the bathroom alone for a long time, during which she had been digesting the news that Zhang Chuchu had said before.

Zhang Chuchu had no reason to lie to her, so what she said must be true.

Cheng Rao's head is very messy-

Is there really a person in this world who looks exactly the same?

Cheng Rao stayed alone in the bathroom cubicle for more than twenty minutes, during which she kept thinking about various possibilities.

If Xiao Ye is really alive, why don't you come to see her?

Does he no longer love her, or does he have some ulterior motives?

Cheng Rao doesn't think she is a person with a low IQ, but she hasn't come up with a result for thinking about this kind of thing for a long time.

Cheng Rao took a deep breath and walked out of the cubicle.

When I walked out, I happened to run into a few classmates in the class.

This is not surprising, after all, this layer was covered by the squad leader.

Cheng Rao's face was not very good, and after she came out and saw them, she just nodded lightly, even if it was a greeting.

In fact, the relationship between Cheng Rao and her college classmates is okay, although there is no special closeness, but there is no big contradiction.

"Why do you look so bad? Do you want to find Xiao Ye for you? One of them stood up and cared about Cheng Rao.

After Cheng Rao heard her say Xiao Ye's name, she was stunned for a moment, then grabbed her arm and asked her, "...... What did you say? ”

When the other party saw her like this, he couldn't help frowning: "Xiao Ye is outside, didn't you come together?" ”

In their opinion, Cheng Rao and Xiao Ye are still a couple, and this kind of thing must come together.

Boom.

Cheng Rao felt that something seemed to have exploded in her head.

Now, she has no reason at all, and her whole mind and ears are full of those few words-Xiao Ye is outside.

She stayed for a moment, her eyes reddening.

"Thank you, thank you......" she repeated "thank you" to her college classmate several times before turning and walking out of the bathroom.

After several people saw Cheng Rao's reaction, they were a little confused.

Watching her leave, several people looked at each other.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Maybe it's a quarrel, the two of them can be reconciled after a little communication."

"I guess so. But Xiao Ye's temperament has changed a lot now......"

"Yes, I remember being a very sunny person before, always smiling, but now it's a lot more serious."

"I guess I grew up after work, and my face is still the same handsome."

"It's a good match with Cheng Rao, I guess they are the first couple in our class to get married......"

………

Cheng Rao walked from the bathroom to the banquet hall outside in a daze.

The area of the banquet hall is not very large, there are many people outside, Cheng Rao looked around, dizzy.

Cheng Rao walked around the hall and never found Xiao Ye.

However, those classmates just now said so firmly that Xiao Ye was outside, and it was impossible to make a mistake.

Cheng Rao clenched her fists and walked towards the exit of the banquet hall.

When I walked over, I happened to run into the squad leader.

When the squad leader was about to open his mouth to talk to Cheng Rao, he was interrupted by her.

Cheng Rao's emotions were very excited, her eyes were also red, and she looked like she had just cried.

She stepped forward, grabbed the squad leader's wrist, and asked her, "Have you seen Xiao Ye?" ”

"He was in the banquet hall just now, and I saw him go in with my own eyes."

The squad leader looked around, and then asked Cheng Rao: "What's the matter, he's gone now?" ”

“…… Well. Cheng Rao nodded.

"Then I don't know, I've been waiting for people here." The squad leader saw Cheng Rao like this, and asked again: "You two shouldn't have really quarreled, right?" ”

Cheng Rao didn't know how to answer this question, so she could only purse her lips and be silent.

The squad leader said: "Oh, you two are a model couple in our class, everyone is still waiting for you to get married, don't quarrel, what is there to be soft, it's really not okay you give him a call, I'm embarrassed to call and send WeChat, we have been together for so many years, what problems can't be solved?" ”

>

The squad leader's words reminded Cheng Rao.

Cheng Rao's hands trembled and she took out her mobile phone from her bag.

Seeing her make this move, the squad leader patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, you can talk to him well, we've been together for so long, you have to cherish it." ”

Cheng Rao really didn't know how to reply, she pinched the phone with one hand, her fingertips trembled, and her palms were wet.

The squad leader had already gone back, and Cheng Rao was left alone at the exit.

Cheng Rao leaned against the pillar, looking up at the dark night sky, her chest dull.

Tears unconsciously fell, from the corners of the eyes all the way down, and a few drops even dripped into the ears.

She calmed down for five or six minutes, and finally unlocked the phone screen and clicked on the >

She found Xiao Ye's number from her friends list, and then started sending messages non-stop.

"I know you're still here, why don't you come and see me?"

"You were the one who gave me the seasickness medicine, and you were the one who saved me last time."

"You're still in the hotel, aren't you?"

"I want to see you."

Cheng Rao sent several messages in a row, and after she finished posting, she waited persistently for five or six minutes, and there was no reply from there.

Cheng Rao can now confirm 100% that Xiao Ye is still alive-

If the previous time she was rescued was just a suspicion, then after tonight, she can confirm it.

After confirming this matter, what she was most concerned about was that question-

Since you are alive, why not come and see her?

If she hadn't found out, how long would he have been hiding it?

Cheng Rao clenched her mobile phone and typed down a message word by word: If you don't come to see me, then never see you again.

Cheng Rao rarely threatens Xiao Ye like this, she has never been the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably.

But this time, it was really helpless.

Cheng Rao originally held out hope, thinking that if she said so, Xiao Ye would reply to her.

However, after another ten minutes of waiting, nothing came of it.

Cheng Rao was unwilling, and something flashed in her mind.

Then, she immediately put it into action.

Cheng Rao walked to the hotel's management center and asked for the surveillance video of the banquet hall.

When Cheng Rao made this request, the staff showed an embarrassed expression.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Rao asked.

The staff said: "I'm sorry, the monitoring of the banquet hall on the third floor is broken, and we haven't had time to repair it yet." ”

Hearing the staff say this, Cheng Rao immediately clenched her fists.

Broken? How could it be such a coincidence?

She said a cold "oh", didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

When a person tries his best to hide something, no matter how hard he invests, he can't find the result.

………

Cheng Rao didn't go back to the banquet hall this time, she walked out of the hotel alone and sat on the steps outside the hotel.

The coldest two months in Los Angeles are December and January, with January being cooler than December.

Not long after Cheng Rao sat down, it started to rain outside.

She sat alone on the steps, the rain drenching her hair and clothes, and she didn't care.

She lifted her hand and stared at the little finger of her left hand.

If it weren't for what happened today, she would have almost forgotten that she had a monitor inside her.

This thing was put into it by Xiao Ye himself.

That was before her first mission, and he said he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to reach her, so he wanted to listen to her like this.

Regarding Xiao Ye's request, Cheng Rao will never refuse.

Later, after he died, Cheng Rao didn't take things out, and over time, she had to forget the existence of the monitor.

…… If she spoke now, Xiao Ye should be able to hear it, right?

Cheng Rao took a deep breath and raised her hand to wipe the rain from her face.

"Xiao Ye." She called out his name.

After more than ten seconds, she continued: "Aren't you coming to see me?" ”

“…… Good. Then never come. ”

"I don't care what difficulties you have, if you don't come to see me, I will never forgive you."

**

Behind the stone pillar at the entrance of the hotel, the man's eyes were scarlet.

He clenched one hand into a fist, and he didn't know how much effort it took to resist the urge to rush up and stop her from the rain.

Her physical fitness has never been very good, so she is bound to catch a cold and fever after the rain.

He still had headphones in his ears, and her resolute voice was in his ears.

"I'll never forgive you."

…… That's it, and you'll never forgive him?

If she knew all the things he did, wouldn't she hate him even more?

**

Cheng Rao sat alone on the steps and was drenched in the rain for more than half an hour, during which he had been watching from the side, and his body was also soaked by the rain.

No one knew how much he wanted to go up and hug her, but he couldn't—

After being drenched in the rain for more than half an hour, Cheng Rao was already shivering from the cold, and her lips were a little blue.

She insisted that Xiao Ye would appear, or reply to her message, but after waiting for so long, there was nothing.

The rain and tears were mixed together, and she could barely open her eyes.

Cheng Rao took out her mobile phone from her bag again, found Wei Chi's number in the call record, and dialed it out.

………

After Wei Chi returned home, he kept holding his mobile phone and waited for Cheng Rao to call him.

Because he was also going to pick up Cheng Rao, but now that it is raining again, he is even more worried that she will come back alone.

After the phone rang, Wei Chi immediately pressed the answer button.

"I'm so cold......" As soon as the phone was connected, I heard her crying voice.

Wei Chi's nerves immediately tensed, "Where are you?" I'll pick you up. ”

"Right at the door of the hotel......" Cheng Rao sniffed, "You're going to pick me up, right?" ”

"Yes, I'll go over now, don't be at the door, it's cold outside, wait in the hotel lobby."

"Wei Chi." Cheng Rao suddenly called his name, and then said to him: "Xiao Ye is not dead, do you know?" ”

“…… Did you drink? He couldn't figure out why she had said that all of a sudden, except that he was drunk.

"No, I'm sober." Cheng Rao said, "He is obviously alive, but he doesn't come to see me." ”

Yu Chi: "......"

"I won't forgive him." Cheng Rao looked at the rain curtain and hooked her lips self-deprecatingly, "I will never forgive for the rest of my life." ”

"Okay, you wait for me, I'll pick you up."

There were some ugly words, but Wei Chi endured and didn't say them.

Hanging up the phone, Wei Chi took a thick coat from the closet, then picked up the car keys from the shoe cabinet and went out.

The rain was so heavy that both wipers were on and still couldn't keep up with the rain.

With such rain, Wei Chi didn't dare to increase the speed too fast.

Luckily, the neighborhood he was staying in wasn't very far from Hilton, and twenty minutes later, his car was parked in front of the hotel.

After Wei Chi got out of the car with an umbrella, he saw Cheng Rao sitting on the steps at a glance.

Her hair and clothes were already drenched.

After seeing this scene, Wei Chi immediately sped up and walked in front of her.

After stopping, he bent down to help Cheng Rao up from the steps.

"Didn't you wait inside, what are you doing in the rain?" Wei Chi was a little angry.

Looking at her soaking wet, she has definitely been drenched in the rain for a long time.

Cheng Rao sat for too long, and when she got up, her legs were a little numb, and her eyes were black.

There was some stumbling under her feet, but fortunately, Wei Chi was there, and she stumbled and fell directly into Yu Chi's arms.

Cheng Rao's head hit Wei Chi's chest, hurting a little.

She habitually raised her hand and touched her forehead.

Seeing her like this, Wei Chi gritted his teeth: "Can you still go by yourself?" I can't carry you into the car. ”

"Wei Chi."

Cheng Rao suddenly raised her hand to hook his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips desperately.

Wei Chi's arm holding the umbrella stiffened, and when he was in a daze, she had already stuck her tongue in.

There was desperation in her kiss, revenge......

No matter how sluggish Wei Chi is, she can feel that her kiss is not sincere, but just venting her emotions.

"That's it!" Wei Chi pushed her away ruthlessly, "I'll carry you into the car." ”

Cheng Rao still refused to let go, hugged him and kissed him again.

Wei Chi's heart tightened, and he threw the umbrella directly, and knocked the back of her head with both hands.

He completely protected Cheng Rao in his arms, so that the rain would not all fall on her, and Wei Chi bit her lip fiercely.

She wanted to vent her anger, and he wanted to.

The two kissed fiercely in the rain, attracting the attention of many people.

Among them, of course, the person standing behind the stone pillar is also included.

He stared at the two people who were kissing inseparably in the rain, and smashed his fist on the pillar, and the back of his hand was bleeding on the spot.

His eyes were bloodshot—

If he could, he would have shot him right now.

………

The kiss lasted for more than ten minutes, and the two of them almost misfired.

Fortunately, Wei Chi was still sensible, and he stopped when he was about to lose control of himself.

Yu Chi directly hugged Cheng Rao and hugged her into the car.

Cheng Rao closed her eyes, and tears fell silently.

She felt as if she had lost her soul, and only a shell remained.

Cheng Rao's body was so wet that she couldn't speak, and as soon as she got on the bus, the seat was wet with her clothes.

She sat motionless when she got into the car, her eyes glazed over, and she wasn't even wearing a seatbelt.

Wei Chi looked sideways at her dejected appearance and gritted his teeth hatefully.

After that, he raised his hand, started to fasten her seatbelt, and started the car.

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

After the rain, Cheng Rao already caught a cold, and sneezed several times on the road.

After more than 20 minutes, the car stopped in the underground garage.

Wei Chi got out of the car, went around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and hugged Cheng Rao out of the car.

Cheng Rao didn't react, so she let him get out of the car.

Someone in the basement passed by, and after seeing the two of them like this, they would look back from time to time.

Back at home, as soon as he entered the door, Yu Chi went directly to the bathroom with Cheng Rao in his arms.

Let Cheng Rao sit down on the edge of the bathtub, Wei Chi looked down at her and moved his lips: "Can you take a bath by yourself?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Rao finally replied with a word.

"Well, take a hot shower, I'll go get you clothes." With that, Wei Chi turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

After coming out of the bathroom, Wei Chi took a deep breath and walked into the bedroom to get a change of clothes for Cheng Rao.

During this period, he kept replaying the sentence that Cheng Rao had said before in his head - Xiao Ye was not dead.

She said it with confidence, and seemed to be 100 percent sure.

Although she had such doubts before, she had never been so sure.

Wei Chi felt that she must have seen something to say this.

If Xiao Ye is really alive...... Things will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Wei Chi squeezed the clothes in his hand tightly.

His suspicion of Xiao Ye has never disappeared.

Yu Chi took the clothes and thought for a while, and after coming back to his senses, he went into the bathroom to deliver clothes to Cheng Rao.

When she entered, she was standing under the shower and rushing at her body.

Wei Chi stood at the door and looked at her, his eyes a little glazed.

Her skin was dazzlingly white.

Cheng Rao will not be shy, even if he looks at her like this, she will still do whatever she should do.

Wei Chi stared at her for a while, his throat a little hot.

He put his clothes on the washing machine and said to her, "Don't wash it too long, come out when your hair is dry, I'll get you something to eat." ”

Seeing her like this, Wei Chi knew that she must have not eaten.

Fortunately, there are still some ingredients for cooking noodles at home, and he has cooked noodles for Cheng Rao a few times before, and he has mastered the skills.

In fact, Wei Chi himself was also wet.

After sending clothes to Cheng Rao, Wei Chi casually changed into a set of sportswear, and then went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

**

When taking a bath, Cheng Rao was still thinking about Xiao Ye.

After taking a bath for nearly half an hour, when he came out, Wei Chi had already cooked the noodles.

Cheng Rao had been in the rain for too long just now, and her speech was already a little nasal at this time, and she would sneeze from time to time.

"Eat noodles." Wei Chi pulled Cheng Rao to the restaurant, and after holding her to sit on the dining chair, he let go.

Cheng Rao was actually very hungry, but sitting at the dining table and looking at the steaming noodles in front of her, she couldn't eat it at all.

Seeing that Cheng Rao didn't move, Yu Chi opened his mouth to urge her: "Eat, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

His attitude is a little fierce, and it is indeed a little difficult to accept compared to usual.

Cheng Rao moved her lips, "I can't eat it." ”

"Shall I feed you?" Yu Chi pulled out a chair and sat down next to Cheng Rao.

He brought the rice bowl over, sandwiched a chopstick of noodles, and brought it to her mouth, "Eat." ”

"I don't want to eat it." Cheng Rao's reply is still the same as before.

Yu Chi put down his chopsticks and gritted his teeth, "Okay, then tell me, what do you want?" ”

Seeing her like this, Wei Chi became angry in his heart.

He rarely treats her with such a bad attitude, and today he is indeed a little uncontrollable.

"Xiao Ye is still alive." Cheng Rao looked at Wei Chi's eyes and said this.

As soon as Wei Chi heard the name Xiao Ye, he became angry, and he laughed sarcastically: "He's still alive, what's the matter, are you going to dump me and reconcile with him?" ”

"But he won't see me......" Speaking of this, Cheng Rao's voice was a little low, "He obviously appeared, many people saw him, why didn't he just refuse to see me...... Obviously, he was the one who saved me last time......"

The second half of Cheng Rao's sentence made Wei Chi confused.

He pinched Cheng Rao's wrist, stared at her and asked, "What saved you?" ”

Cheng Rao licked her lips, "Last time in country E, when those two men wanted to violate me, it was he who shot them, although I didn't see his face, but that's him...... I won't forget his taste. ”

"Huh." Wei Chi sneered, "Didn't you tell me last time that someone from the Red Cross saved you?" ”

"The person I met later was indeed from the Red Cross." Cheng Rao said, "I didn't tell you before because I couldn't be sure ......."

"Also, I was seasick before, and he gave me seasickness medicine." Cheng Rao covered her eyes, her expression was painful, "He's been listening to me...... But why don't you come to see me, I think so much about him......"

Bang!

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Chi stood up directly and kicked the dining table hard.

The bowl of noodles on the table fell to the ground with a thud, and the soup and noodles all spilled onto the floor.
