Chapter 18: Where Did You Go?
Zhu Xixi took a sip of lemonade and said without panic: "Do you remember Zhu Qiao?" ”
"Yes." Li Jiang nodded and said, "He is a fortune teller in the community, so this has nothing to do with him...... What does it matter? ”
"You said he was a fortune teller." Zhu Xixi shrugged his shoulders, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, "Someone asked Zhu Qiao to make a hexagram, he calculated the direction, and I will step on it for him." ”
Li Jiaang nodded suspiciously, he had always been skeptical of this kind of metaphysical thing, and he asked suspiciously: "What about in the hospital?" What are you doing? ”
"Help you." Zhu Xixi said calmly, "At that time, the situation was critical, I wanted to help you attract the attention of the murderer, but I couldn't think of any other way, and I didn't want to attract your attention until now." ”
Li Jiang stared at Zhu Xixi's eyes, his sincere gaze made him unable to find a flaw, and said hesitantly: "Is this really the case?" ”
"Of course." Zhu Xixi stirred the lemonade in the cup and chuckled, "Is it possible, are there still ghosts?" ”
Li Jiaang smiled and said, "How is that possible...... But since you already recognize me, why didn't you tell who you are? ”
"The timing isn't right." Zhu Xixi recalled, "The first time we met was in the hospital to face the hostage-taking murderer, and the second time was to arrest human traffickers, which was not an easy time. ”
Li Jiang nodded in agreement.
The two of them chatted in the café here, and Ah Xu returned to the dormitory with a tired appearance in the dormitory over there.
Only Feng Tang was in the dormitory, and she was anxiously thinking about where to find Ah Xu, when she saw this little guy push the door and come in.
"Ah Xu?" Feng Tang greeted him in surprise and asked, "You're back!" Where have you been? Why is it silent, children can't run out alone, it's very dangerous! ”
Ah Xu didn't answer, her eyes searched around the dormitory, and she didn't see Zhu Xixi's figure, could it be that she went out to find herself?
Thinking of this, Ah Xu asked Feng Tang faintly expectantly: "What about my sister?" Where did it go? ”
Feng Tang explained: "I don't know, she answered the phone, said something was wrong, and left." ”
"Got a call?" Ah Xu frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Didn't she go to find me?" ”
Then Ah Xu fell into a mood of surprise, disappointment and a little dissatisfaction, and said to himself: "She actually ...... I met each other for a while, and she didn't react at all when I disappeared for a night? Or is she just looking forward to my disappearance? You don't have to help me? ”
At this time, Feng Tang also fell into self-talk: "It's too dangerous for a child to go out alone, no, there will be an accident sooner or later, it seems that something must be done." ”
Then two people spoke at the same time:
Ah Xu clenched his little fist and pouted his mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "It's too cold-blooded!" ”
Feng Tang said excitedly: "I thought of it!" ”
"What did you say?" The two asked each other in unison.
Then the two spoke again at the same time:
Ah Xu: "I said Zhu Xixi!" ”
Feng Tang: "I said mobile phone!" ”
"Huh?" The two spoke in unison again, looking at each other with the same puzzled face.
"Oops!" Feng Tang waved his hand to break this strange tacit understanding, went to pack his backpack and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to buy a mobile phone, so that you won't be in a hurry if you can't be contacted." ”
Ah Xu looked at Feng Tang in confusion and asked, "Buy a mobile phone?" Give it to me? ”
"That's right." Feng Tang stretched out her hand to pull Ah Xu, but the latter subconsciously avoided it, so she had to go out by herself and said, "Just keep up, you can contact us at any time with your mobile phone, don't be afraid of getting lost!" ”
"Contact you......" Ah Xu followed Feng Tang's footsteps while thinking, shook his head and said with a serious face, "Miss Feng, you are not good like this, you are too kind to me, we haven't known each other for a long time, aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?" ”
Seeing him like this, Feng Tang was about to laugh out loud: "Hahahaha, how can any child claim to be a bad person?" Hurry up, go to Hei Xi after you finish buying. ”
Hearing that he was looking for Zhu Xixi, although Ah Xu showed disdain, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
He originally thought that he could see Zhu Xixi's panicked appearance!
Ah Xu thinks that she eats and lives with Zhu Xixi, and there is a transaction between the two, so she is her employer, right? You should be more familiar with strangers than the average stranger!
But Zhu Xixi actually smiled at Li Jiaang, who had only met a few times! She hasn't smiled at herself in so many days of knowing each other!
Hum!
In the café, Li Jiang looked at the time and said embarrassedly: "I have to go back to work, so I won't delay your time." ”
"Okay." Zhu Xixi quickly got up and said, "Congratulations again on achieving your dream." ”
Li Jiang scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Where." ”
He suddenly felt that the other party remembered the dream he had said when he was a child, but he didn't know the other party's, and he was a little rude, so he asked while walking out: "Then what is your dream?" ”
"Me?" Zhu Xixi smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
Li Jiang nodded: "Dreams do need to be thought about carefully. ”
The two of them walked out as they spoke, and when they pushed open the door, they saw Feng Tang and Ah Xu who were found.
Feng Tang smiled and waved at Zhu Xixi, and then said to Ah Xu, "Look, I said she was here, I heard her call." ”
And Ah Xu stared at Zhu Xixi and Li Jiaang with a resentful face, he really saw the two of them talking and laughing!
What is the magic of this Li Jiang? Let Zhu Xixi, who is cold to everyone, change his face in front of him?
And she didn't look for herself just for Li Jiaang?
"Why are you here?" Zhu Xixi asked Feng Tang, she didn't seem surprised at all by the sudden appearance of Ah Xu, who had been missing all night.
"Looking for you!" Feng Tang looked at Li Jiaang and asked, "Who is this?" ”
In Feng Tang's consciousness, Zhu Xixi never had any other friends she didn't know.
But Li Jiang remembered something and looked at Feng Tang with some surprise and said, "I have seen you, at the school gate." ”
"Me?" Feng Tang pointed to himself and asked uncertainly.
"Hmm." Li Jiaang nodded and said, "The other night, I asked you about things, but you seem to have been scared away by me. ”
"Oh~" Feng Tang remembered, smiled embarrassedly and said, "I remembered, at that time...... I was rude at the time, and I didn't know you were a friend of Xixi. ”
The two of them were talking, and Zhu Xixi felt Ah Xu's strong gaze, frowned slightly, looked down and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
Ah Xu was angry in his heart, pouted and didn't speak, turned his head and didn't want to look at him, he hugged his arms like an adult, and his whole little face was full of the four big words "I'm very unhappy".
Zhu Xixi saw that Ah Xu was wearing a new gadget on his wrist, and just wanted to ask, he was interrupted by Li Jiang's words, and he said with a smile on his face: "Xixi, then I'll go back first, and then contact." ”
"Okay." Zhu Xixi curled the corners of her lips and nodded.
Li Jiang didn't forget to signal to Feng Tang, who smiled sweetly and waved his hand.
After Li Jiaang left, Feng Tang took Zhu Xixi's arm and squinted his eyes and asked, "Why didn't I know you had a police friend?" ”
"It happened when I was a child, and I happened by chance." Zhu Xixi raised his chin at Ah Xu and asked Feng Tang, "Why is he so virtuous?" ”
The two girls walked forward arm-in-arm, and Ah Xu followed behind with low air pressure, glanced at the back of Li Jiang leaving, and snorted contemptuously.
Feng Tang glanced back at Ah Xu, smiled and whispered to Zhu Xixi, "I guess...... I'm jealous. He disappeared one night by himself, and his sister not only didn't nervous about him, but also went out on a date with the boys, and talked and laughed. ”
The more she spoke, the more energetic she became, shaking Zhu Xixi's arm, and looking like a gossip.
Zhu Xixi broke free of Feng Tang, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "Who is dating, Li Jiaang is here to ask me about the case." ”
"Really?" Feng Tang didn't believe it, he took Zhu Xixi's arm again, looked at her with a meaningful gaze, and teased, "I saw a smile like the warm sun of spring on your iceberg face~"
"Be serious!" Zhu Xixi's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly changed the topic, "You bought the watch in Ah Xu's hand for him?" ”
Feng Tang nodded and said, "Yes, that's not an ordinary watch, it's a genius phone watch, the salesperson said, you can call and send messages, take pictures, record videos, locate and so on." However, Ah Xu actually doesn't like the color scheme of Doraemon or Ultraman, so he has to choose a pure black one. ”
"How much? I'll pass it on to you. Zhu Xixi took out her mobile phone as she spoke, and stopped Feng Tang before she could speak, "Don't say no, he is not qualified to spend your money." ”
All the way back to the dormitory, the roommates all came back, and Zhu Xixi didn't ask Ah Xu about the night he disappeared, as if it hadn't happened.
Only Ah Xu sat sullenly in the corner, like a little kitten who had been snubbed and remained arrogant.
Before going to bed at night, Zhu Xixi and Ah Xu washed on the balcony.
The little Ah Xu stood on the stool and didn't wish Xi Xigao yet.
At this time, Zhu Xixi suddenly stretched out his hand to Ah Xu and said, "Give me the watch." ”
Ah Xu glared at her, but obediently took it down and gave it to her.
Zhu Xixi said while tinkering, "This is my number." ”
Ah Xu took back his watch, put down his toothbrush, and asked with a mouth full of foam, "Don't you ask me where I went?" ”
"You have your personal freedom, why should I ask?" Zhu Xixi said as she put on a towel.
Ah Xu wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason, and after rinsing his mouth, he asked awkwardly: "What is Li Jiang looking for you for?" ”
"What are you angry about?" Zhu Xixi stared at him with his hands on his chest and asked.
"I've found out that you don't like to answer other people's questions and always replace them with a new one." Ah Xu washed his face with his fleshy little hands and jumped off the stool and said, "But I still have to ask when you started to help me find memories?" I'm probably your employer now. ”
Zhu Xixi nodded and said thoughtfully, "It's time to start preparing." ”
That night, Ah Xu lay in the small hammock and couldn't sleep, a little glad that Zhu Xixi didn't ask where he went last night, and he didn't have to find a reason to prevaricate her, and he always couldn't help but think of Zhu Xixi's smiling face that he saw outside the café today.
It is completely different from the usual iceberg appearance, as if the whole temperament has changed, softer and closer.
Zhu Xixi, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep, she was thinking about how to help Ah Xu find her memories? What are the ways and clues?
