This request can be called rude, but Jiang Huaining's words are sincere, and the expectation in his eyes is very moving, and he can barely forgive.

Forgiveness does not mean granting to his request.

The four young men and women are students at a teacher training college in the city, Jinyang Normal College, majoring in visual communication design. Last month, the participating photography club launched a more formal competition, asking people to work in small groups of four to five to shoot a short film with the theme of "The Variety of Life".

The three winning groups won the Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards respectively.

Because of the sponsorship of the senior boss of a cultural media studio outside the school, the gold award winning group has a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and can also get a good job opportunity.

The prizes are so attractive that the number of participants skyrockets, and naturally, the probability of winning a prize decreases a lot.

Everyone riveted their strength and came for the gold medal. Their group is no exception, and after many meetings and discussions, the shooting location was set in Yunshan County, under Jinyang City, specific to shopping malls, hospitals, schools, old residential streets, etc., which can reflect people's daily life.

After the competition, the micro-films were released on various platforms, so it was easy for them to get permission from the young mall manager. After all, it's a good promotional channel, it's free, and the most important thing is that their equipment looks very professional, not like a petty fight.

Two heavyweight cameras were set up in an unobtrusive location for a week of filming, and today they were just finished and ready to move on to the next location.

"We're going to take the video to the competition, and it's very important to us, I'm afraid I can't give it to you, and I hope you can understand it." The boy in the dark blue down jacket introduced himself as Song Mingtao, but politely refused.

His refusal was expected by Jiang Huaining, he did not give up, pondered for a moment, and continued to negotiate with them on a more suitable way.

He has only one purpose, and that is to get the video as soon as possible.

After negotiating for a long time, the long-haired girl relented first, pulled the other members of the group to the side and said a few words, then turned to Jiang Huaining and said, "The video still can't be handed over to you......

Jiang Huaining glanced at Lu Zhu, as always polite and gentle, not angry and complaining, nodded and replied: "I understand." ”

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly smiled playfully, and changed the conversation and said, "However, we can help you screen, which can be regarded as supervision." Let's start now, a few people will work together, and if it's fast, you'll be able to finish it tomorrow morning, and maybe you'll be lucky enough to find what you're looking for soon. She shrugged, "Anyway, we have to stay up all night to cut the film, so we should familiarize ourselves with the content of the video in advance." ”

Jiang Huaining was stunned for a moment, and showed an extremely gentle smile towards Lu Zhu, and the hand holding her finger tightened.

Lu Zhu's lips moved, he was so moved that he couldn't speak for a long time, the tip of his nose twitched, and he hurriedly stood in front of the girl: "Thank you, thank you so much." ”

"Your business is more important, let's find a place to get started." The girl patted her on the shoulder, turned to the others, and said, "Put away the equipment and see if there is a 24-hour café nearby." ”

There is no café, only an Internet café, but there are two minors in their group, and they talk to the network manager, and they say that they are dry before they let the family be accommodating, and let Jiang Huaining and Lu Zhu in.

A few people opened a separate private room, and the sliding door was closed, which was not so noisy.

They looked at each other, didn't talk nonsense, turned on the computer, and raced against time to import the video.

The only girl in the four-person group was named Lin Man, with her finger against her lower lip, her eyes staring at the computer screen to pull out the progress bar, tilting her head and asking Lu Zhu, who was sitting on her left: "The more detailed the description of the characteristics, the better, including that woman." ”

These people were very unfamiliar with the two parties in the case, and it was quite difficult to screen, and Lu Zhu only showed them a photo of Lu Guoming.

But in these video clips, Lu Guoming, as a security guard in the mall, patrols all floors every day wearing a straight uniform, and his figure appears too often, his eyes are dazzled, and he doesn't see anything unusual.

Lu Zhu calmly recalled He Xiaoou she saw in the police station, and she was so impressed that she didn't recall it long before describing it: "The girl was in her early twenties, and she was wearing a dark gray tweed coat on the day of the incident, with a long black sweater and over-the-knee boots. He has long straight black hair, with exaggerated silver hoop earrings, and the makeup on his face is not too heavy. ”

"OK, so that people with obvious characteristics are easy to find." Lin Man smiled and said to the others, "Hear that?" Don't doze off, finish early. ”

Lu Zhu could see that she was the leader of the group, small, less than 1.6 meters, with a small round face and single eyelids, and a dimple on her lips when she smiled, she was a very cheerful girl.

"I heard it, I heard it."

The other three boys replied in unison.

——

A few people didn't pay attention to the time, and it was more than eleven o'clock as soon as they were busy.

Jiang Huaining turned on his mobile phone halfway, called Sun Jingfang first, and didn't have time to explain the specific reason, only said that he would not go back at night, stay at Shen Huan's house for one night, and then call Shen Huan and ask him to pay attention not to goof.

Lu Zhu and Jiang Huaining look at the same computer, she is not very good at operating, she can only look at the screen.

Jiang Huaining watched the video as fast as he did the question, the progress bar kept pulling forward, and sometimes Lu Zhu didn't even see the picture clearly, and he had already transitioned to the next frame.

"Gollum-"

Someone's stomach screamed, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the private room.

Song Mingtao snorted, stretched his neck, poked his head out from the top of the computer screen, and looked at Lin Man opposite: "Manman, isn't it you?" ”

Lin Man rolled his eyes, rubbed his stomach with one hand resting on the table, dropped the mouse and stood up: "I'm going to ask for a bucket of instant noodles, do any of you want anything else?" ”

One by two, they raised their hands.

"I also want instant noodles and a piece of ham."

"Mine plus two."

"I don't want instant noodles, I want a can of Coke and a pack of Weilong."

Lin Man snorted: "When you're here for a vacation?" ”

"Thank you, Manman." Seeing her feigned anger, Song Mingtao, who was sitting opposite, raised his face and behaved, grinning like a flower.

Listening to their jokes, Lu Zhu felt guilty and grateful, the reason why these people gathered here so late was because they were busy with her business. They were strangers who had nothing to do with her, and she wouldn't be angry even if they wouldn't help, but not only were they willing to lend a helping hand, but they didn't complain.

Seeing that it was almost the second half of the night, they were hungry and tired, and they could still laugh, Lu Zhu only felt mixed feelings. Putting aside those troubles, in fact, there are far more good things around her than bad.

It seemed to clear the clouds and mist, and the sun shone into his heart, and Lu Zhu suddenly relaxed.

She didn't say anything, silently got up and followed behind Lin Man, and after she told her sister the network manager what she wanted, she took the initiative to step forward and pay.

Lin Man glanced at her unexpectedly, curled the corners of his lips and smiled, but he was not polite to her, his elbow was on the counter, waiting for the instant noodles to be soaked, and chatted with her: "Your boyfriend is really handsome and tall, the key is that his personality is too good to say." Hey, I'm a little curious about how you two got together. ”

Her tone was casual, but Lu Zhu, who was in a daze, was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "No, no, he's ...... He's not my boyfriend. We were both high school students. ”

"I know." Lin Man was amused by her panicked look, "What's wrong with the high school students?" I don't believe there are no people around you who are in love. ”

Lu Zhu smiled, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he really did. She doesn't count as gossip, but in the class alone, she heard that there are three couples, and they have been together since the beginning of school.

She and Jiang Huaining ......

She didn't dare to think about it.

"Didn't talk about it?" Lin Man asked suspiciously.

Lu Zhu cried and laughed and said, "No." He's at my tablemate. ”

"You can bring me a bucket, I can't take it." Lin Man leaned sideways and picked up the two buckets of instant noodles soaked on the counter, hooked a bag of snacks with his little thumb, squeezed his eyes at her, and said mysteriously, "Your tablemate is so handsome that there is nothing in the sky and the earth, you hurry up, don't let him be pried away by others." ”

She spoke boldly and casually, with a sense of ease, Lu Zhu was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer, picked up the other two buckets of instant noodles with a red face, and followed her back to the private room.

Lu Zhu put one of the buckets of noodles in Jiang Huaining's hand, knowing that he hadn't eaten at night, he whispered and persuaded: "You eat the instant noodles first, and then look at it later, it's not bad for a few minutes." ”

Jiang Huaining staggered his gaze and glanced at the table, his voice was a little hoarse, and he coughed lightly: "What about you?" ”

Lu Zhu pinched a bag of red bean bread in his hand and said, "I bought bread." ”

Eating instant noodles was really delaying, Jiang Huaining tilted his head, lowered his voice and said, "Give me bread to eat." ”

"Huh?"

"I don't like instant noodles."

Lu Zhu sighed, tore open the bag of bread and handed it to him. Jiang Huaining didn't answer, just put her hand slightly down and took a big bite, puffing out her cheeks and chewing, her eyes never left the computer screen, and her posture did not relax.

Lu Zhu looked at the bread missing a mouthful in his hand in a daze, pursed his lips lightly, raised his head, and met the gaze of Lin Man, who was sucking bubble noodles.

Lin Man took a few noodles in his mouth and smiled.

Thinking of what she said, Lu Zhu's whole person became uncomfortable.

"Look if it's this person?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Huaining's eyes, and he paused, clicked the mouse to pause the video, and pointed to the side face of a woman in the picture.

Lu Zhu glanced at it, it was He Xiaoou, and said excitedly: "It's her!" ”

The other four people didn't care about eating, wiped their mouths, and gathered around Jiang Huaining to look at the screen. Jiang Huaining pulled back the progress bar and played it again, and the complete clip lasted for eight minutes, clearly restoring the scene of the incident.

Lu Zhu looked at it, his eyes were full of tears, and he almost cried with joy. She knew that things were not what He Xiaoou said. She knew it......

"Damn, can you still do this, isn't this wronged!"

After reading it, Song Mingtao said a swear word with an angry expression.
