———————— a year ago————————

Unknowingly, a year has passed, which means that she has not seen Yang Qichen for a year.

Xu Anran only felt that she had almost forgotten the way the time was counted, and if she hadn't marked it on the calendar, she wouldn't have known that a year had passed.

A year ago today, she and Yang Qichen came out after watching the movie, he said that he was going to buy ice cream for himself, she waited in place, but he didn't come back.

All she was left with was a departed back, which had tormented her for countless years and caused her to lose sleep every night.

In the past year, she has traveled all over Shaoxing, large and small, and also found his university, and she has squatted at the door of his house countless times, coming with hope, but always disappointed. But where they had shared memories, she still lingered day by day.

And all this, in response to her, is always the silence of no one, or the closed door and the complete stranger crowd.

She has called the police, thought about searching the whole country, the world, and even thought about suicide. Every day, she called that familiar number, from turning off the phone to becoming an empty number, she even suspected that the person she was looking for might be dead.

However, whenever she stood in the grass where he had caught fireflies for himself countless times, and looked at the glowing fluorescence floating in the air and the stars in the sky, she believed that her lover must be somewhere.

She just had to wait for him to come back, and she was there.

So she can't die or leave, she has to live well, she has to learn to buy her own breakfast, ride her bicycle to school, carry her school bag, do her homework, go to the movies by herself, go to dinner.....

That way, the day he returns, she can tell him that she is doing well, that she misses him so much and that she has been waiting for him.

I really worked hard, but why, Yang Qichen, I am still like a waste, I can't sleep at night, and when I see everything related to you, I still unconsciously shed tears, and then cry silently. Like now, it's crazy to think about you.

Xu Anran sat in the grass, looking at the stars in the sky, this season is the time when there are the most fireflies.

Surrounded by a fluorescent face, it was her tearful face.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Xu Anran touched a handful of tears and quickly took out his mobile phone.

It's an MMS message, and the content of the MMS message is an image. Looking at the back of the person in the picture in disbelief, Xu Anran was stupid, and his tears stopped in his eyes.

It was the back she had been thinking about, the back she had been looking for, the back that could pull all her nerves with a casual move.

"Venucia ......"

Xu Anran, who came back to her senses, immediately went to find the location of the back inside, but the photo was too blurry, no matter how she looked at it, she could only guess that it was a dim alley, but there were too many alleys like this in Shaoxing, and she couldn't find it at all, not to mention that she couldn't be sure whether the alley in the picture was in Shaoxing.

Tears flowed helplessly again.

"Yang Qichen... Where the hell are you? How can I find you......"

He lowered his head and cried a little frustratedly.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the person with his head down raised his head again and began to flip through his phone.

Looking at the unfamiliar number, I dialed it in a panic.

Waiting tormentedly, afraid of being cheated and afraid of not being able to get through.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

"Hello?"

A female voice came from the phone, and Xu Anran was so flustered that the phone almost fell out.

"Hey, hey, did you send me the MMS?"

"Who are you? What MMS ?!! No. ”

"But you just sent me an MMS!! Really, can I send it to you? Can you tell me where that picture is? ”

"Who are you?!! Saying no is no, neuropathy!! ”

"I, ———— I feed?"

"Toot ———— Toot ————"

Before he finished speaking, the line was already disconnected.

Without giving up, Xu Anran dialed again, but the other party said that he didn't answer anything, and dialed several times in a row, and the phone was turned off directly.

The clue is broken.

Raising his head in some despair, he looked at the sky, and Xu Anran covered his chest.

After a long while, he stood up with his mobile phone and left the grass directly.

Yang Qichen, I will definitely find you.

Xu Anran, who returned home, wrote a lot of alleys in Shaoxing according to her memory, even if some of them seemed to be safe and pictures, she still did not rule them out.

From that day on, whenever she had time, she went to various alleys.

Xu's father and Xu mother, almost didn't see Xu Anran's shadow for a day. When I asked her what she was doing, she didn't say anything, she was very worried at first, but every day she saw Xu Anran returning home on time at ten o'clock in the evening, so she didn't ask anymore.

But today, it seems that something is unusual.

The time had reached 10:05, and Xu's mother stood at the door of her house and looked around, but she still didn't see Xu Anran coming back.

"You said it wouldn't be an accident, right?"

"When the kids are older, they might be partying with friends! Fool around. ”

Xu Jianzhong was playing chess alone in the living room, without raising his eyes, feeling that his wife's worries were a little exaggerated.

"No, no, I have to give Ran Ran a call."

As he spoke, he flipped out his phone.

Soon, the phone was connected.

"Mommy?"

"Alas, alas, yes, where have you been this big night? Why haven't you come back yet, it's past 10 o'clock. ”

"Ah, I'm partying with my classmates! I'll come back a little later today, Mommy, if you're sleepy, go to bed early, and my classmates will send me back later, you don't have to worry. ”

"Are you with your classmates?" With some suspicions, Mother Xu asked again.

"That's right, a lot of classmates!!"

"That's good, you said that you are not at home all day, and it is not perfect for a girl to stay outside too late."

"I know, Mommy, it's okay, I'll be back in a moment, isn't tomorrow Sunday? There is no class, and there are classmates celebrating their birthdays today, and they haven't ended yet! ”

"Okay, okay, then you come back early, if it's too late, just call, and I'll ask your dad to drive to pick you up."

"Okay, I got it."

hung up the phone, and the big stone in Xu's mother's heart also fell.

"Look, what did I say!! When the child is older, don't always treat her as a child. ”

"Children, children, this girl, it's not safe to be outside at night, alas~ You said how good it would be if Chenchen's child was there, I guess where to wait now! We don't have anything to worry about. ”

"Alright, alright, you go and rest first, I'll guard the door."

Hearing Xu's mother mention Yang Qichen, Xu Jianzhong's eyes sank, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and urged Xu's mother to go back to the room to rest.

"It's okay, I'm a little sleepy, but when I come back, you wake me up."

Mother Xu is indeed a little sleepy, in the past, she waited for Xu Anran to come back at 10 o'clock, and then went back to her room to sleep.

"Don't worry."

Picking up a chess piece again, Xu Jianzhong focused on his chessboard again.

On the other side, Xu Anran was holding his mobile phone and walking tremblingly into the alley.

Not a single passer-by passed, only dim street lamps, flickering and flickering. It's as old as if no one has walked on it for a long time.

There was no sound around, only the sound of the wind on a summer night surrounded Xu Anran.

"Xu Anran, don't be afraid, just turn a corner, take a look, and come out after reading it. It's okay....."

Comforting himself, he walked forward with full attention.

"Eh, where did the pretty little girl come from?"

Seeing that he was about to go around the corner, suddenly, three young men who were bullish walked out from the corner and stared at Xu Anran with malicious intent.

Taking a few steps back uneasily, Xu Anran turned around and ran away.

"Little girl, don't go, what are you running? You haven't told your brother where you're from! ”

didn't run a few steps, and one of them, a man with yellow hair and a shirtless body, blocked in front of Xu Anran.

The tattoos on his bare chest frightened Xu Anran and quickly closed his eyes and stepped back.

I didn't notice it at all, and the two men in the back also surrounded me.

"You, what do you want to do? My boyfriend came over right away. ”

"Boyfriend, hahaha, why didn't I see your boyfriend? Besides, your boyfriend is here, can we play together~ Brothers, are you right? Hahaha————"

The yellow hair pressed Xu Anran step by step and laughed presumptuously.

"You, you, you, come over again, I called the police....."

has been forced into a corner, there is no way to retreat, Xu Anran took out his mobile phone, and was about to press the alarm number.

Huang Mao looked at him, and the other man immediately snatched Xu Anran's mobile phone and threw it far away.

"My phone ————"

"Little girl, I still want to call the police!! Aren't you here in the middle of the night just waiting to be? You two, pull her up for me. ”

As he spoke, Xu Anran was clamped against the wall by the other two.

"What are you going to do? Let me go!!! Don't come, I warn you, don't come, my boyfriend won't let you go!! ”

Seeing that the man unbuttoned his pants and kept getting closer to him, the fear continued to amplify, Xu Anran's eyes widened in horror, and he struggled desperately, but the hand that was held couldn't be broken.

Tears of despair fell, but they were still struggling desperately, not daring to slack off.

"I beg you, I beg you, let me go, I beg you to ....."

"Let you go? Heh~ Don't even think about it, you see that you are so beautiful, you have served a few brothers, maybe a few brothers are happy, and they can send you some money!! ”

After speaking, the man lifted Xu Anran's skirt and put his hand on Xu Anran's thigh.

Because it was summer, Xu Anran was wearing a long skirt, and looking at the disgusting hands on his legs, Xu Anran's whole body trembled, and his stomach rolled.

Raise your leg and kick the man at the vital point.

Unexpectedly, the leg was only half raised, and it was grabbed by the man.

"Little girl, you still want to kick me, I advise you not to waste your efforts, you little mother-in-law have seen a lot of tricks and brothers, you better save some effort and serve your brothers well!"

As he spoke, he ripped off Xu Anran's long skirt and dragged it off along with the bottomed pants.

"Ah————————h

Xu Anran screamed, tears kept flowing out, and he struggled even harder.

Even the hands that were being dragged by others were already red.

"Big brother, this girl is so strong, she almost broke free."

"Huh, really? It's fun! ”

"Help me, help———— who will save me!! ———— ———— life"

Seeing that the man had already stuck to him, Xu Anran was so disgusted that he vomited and shouted for help.

"You just screamed and no one saved you, hahaha————"

With a tearing sound, Xu Anran's shirt was also torn.

In despair, he closed his eyes, and a tear slipped silently from the corner of his eye.

Yang Qichen, where are you.....
