Lin Juan came to the vicinity of Cheng Guo's positioning for himself, furrowed his eyebrows, and looked at the sewage flowing from the front of his toes.

Under this old building is a noisy seafood slaughtering market, where the bloody smell of meat and the salty smell of seafood are mixed together, and it is too hot to ferment it, and the taste is very good.

With the discarded garbage and noisy voices all over the ground, Lin Qian closed his eyes, and it was a little hard to imagine how Cheng Guo lived in such a place.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Guo:

"I've arrived at the place."

Cheng Guo replied in seconds: "Okay! I just finished checking out and went out, so I'm going to call my cousin and ask her to come down and pick you up! ”

Lin Juan was reassured, glanced left and right at the dilapidated buildings whose walls were mottled and leaked, tentatively crossed the sewage and garbage, and walked inside, but still didn't see the "cousin" figure described by Cheng Guo.

I thought that there should be no one living here, but Lin Juan looked up, but saw that the balconies of every house were full of clothes to dry, and it was obvious that the people here were still full.

The mobile phone vibrated twice, Lin Juan looked down, and sure enough, it was a message from Cheng Guo again.

"Wanwan, you go a little further, go to the fork in the road and look left, and in a moment my cousin will come out of it, the one in the green dress."

Lin Juan looked at the empty corner street in front of him, only three or two old ladies gathered around to discuss the length of their daughter-in-law and chatted, how could he think that Cheng Guo's cousin was not so old.

walked around the residential area, there were only a few buildings in total, and Lin Juan almost walked to the end and didn't see the green skirt Cheng Guo said.

"How so!" Cheng Guo was a little helpless, "I haven't replied to the message I gave my cousin yet, she is our peer, how can it be an aunt and grandmother, forget it, you stand where you are and don't move, I'll go back quickly, wait for me!" ”

Before the words fell, Cheng Guo sped up and ran forward and hung up the phone.

Lin Juan looked at the mobile phone in his hand that was hung up, and then looked at the dark and damp old dilapidated buildings around him, and sighed heavily.

From the moment she stepped into this residential area, she had a faint sense in her heart that agreeing to Chen Guo's invitation this time might not be a good thing.

Lin Juan turned around and was about to return to the door of the residential area the same way, and when Cheng Guo came back to meet her as soon as he returned, a figure suddenly flashed from the shadow of the building on the side:

"Lin Juan?"

Some familiar voices, Lin Juan's footsteps were nailed in place, and he turned back very slowly and terrifyingly-

The moment he saw the other party's face clearly, Lin Juan's eyes widened in horror.

Chen Taotao.

What's going on? Isn't Chen Taotao supposed to be dead? Wasn't it supposed to be in the fountain pool downstairs of the school in the commotion that broke out in that high math class......

Chen Taotao looked puzzled and took a step closer to Lin Xuan, who took a few steps back.

How could I see Chen Taotao in such a place? Dreaming? No, it's not like a dream, is this Chen Taotao in front of you a human or a ghost? Didn't Chen Taotao die?

"I said, how can there be such a coincidence." Chen Taotao seemed to suddenly understand something, sneered, and stopped, "Cheng Guo talks to me about you every day, I thought I was not at ease when I left school, how can there be a person named Lin Juan who hangs around every day!" ”

The tone of resentment and disgust is undoubtedly Chen Taotao.

Her hostile appearance made Lin Juan calm down a little, and she carefully glanced at Chen Taotao from head to toe - there were no obvious traumatic wounds on her body, and her skin was not as pale as a dead person, so she should be alive and well.

Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief briefly.

immediately realized that since Chen Taotao mentioned Cheng Guo, doesn't it mean that the cousin and cousin that Cheng Guo kept shouting in his mouth are actually Chen Taotao?

No wonder when she came to the company for an interview that day, she saw that there was a person suspected of Chen Taotao among the girls who came downstairs, and she just thought that she was wrong, it turned out that Chen Taotao really existed!

After settling down, Lin Juan spoke: I don't have the leisure to quarrel with you. ”

"Hmph." Chen Taotao was noncommittal to her cold attitude, "Do you think I came to you when I was full?" ”

Without saying a word, Chen Taotao turned around and left. Lin Juan hesitated for a moment, and finally caught up with her, although the latter noticed it, both of them were silent, falling into a delicate balance.

There was a sudden rush of footsteps behind Lin Juan, and the wind passed over the colleague behind him, Lin Juan's shoulder was slapped fiercely, and he subconsciously turned his head and smiled at Cheng Guo's incomparably bright face:

"You're so slow! I'm back. ”

Lin Juan couldn't help but silently complain that Cheng Guo had indeed arrived, and it was hard not to wonder if she had arrived early, but she just hid aside and waited to see herself quarrel with Chen Taotao.

"I bought a lot of beef meatballs! And my favorite crab stick, this purple sweet potato glutinous rice ball, although it is sweet, but it is super amazing in the hot pot! You'll definitely give it a try......"

Cheng Guo lifted the shopping bag in his hand, and he couldn't help but introduce the things he bought. Chen Taotao, who was walking in front, stopped and glanced at it:

"Are you planning to eat meatballs for the next week?"

With such a big bag, it is also a loss that Cheng Guo can get it back by himself.

"I'll take one side for you, otherwise it's too heavy!"

Lin Juan noticed the strangulation marks in Cheng Guo's palm that were strangled by the handle of the plastic bag, and took it aside, and immediately felt the heavy weight of the balls.

The house rented by Cheng Guo and Chen Taotao was on the fourth floor of the building at the end of the alley.

Although it was already some distance from the ground, when Chen Taotao opened the door with the key with a blank face and let the two of them in, Lin Juan still smelled the smell of damp and moldy walls coming to his face, and frowned fiercely.

Cheng Guo seemed to be completely accustomed to this environment, and put the balls in his hand on the tea table by the door, and the wooden table that was already shaky was smashed and jumped, almost overturning all the cups on it, but Lin Juan quickly held on to the table legs.

Chen Taotao had just gone down to pick up Lin Juan, she was already preparing in the living room, and took a mandarin duck hot pot cooking pot, with spicy butter on one side and fragrant tomatoes on the other, and the fragrance of the hot pot base after boiling spread throughout the house.

Lin Juan found a paper to wipe the position clean, and then sat down with Chen Taotao in a staggered manner, with a Cheng Guo in the middle, and he didn't want to sit opposite.

No matter how confused Cheng Guo is, he should see that the atmosphere between the two is obviously wrong.

His eyes turned around on Lin Juan and Chen Taotao's faces, and Cheng Guo said tentatively:

"Did you two know each other before?"

"I don't know."

Unison.
