Inside the hotel room.

"Youzhi, have you figured it out?"

Mary looked at Xia Youzhi and asked softly.

After Xia Youzhi refused Martin, he stayed in the hotel for a day.

Prepare for tomorrow's finals.

Hearing Mary's words, Xia Youzhi stopped the pen in his hand and his eyelids moved.

Immediately, without raising his head, he said, "Mary, you know me." ”

If it was just for money, then she wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the competition at this juncture.

Hearing this, Mary's eyes showed appreciation.

Sure enough, she didn't take in the wrong apprentice.

The backbone of Huaguo cannot be bent.

"Alright, you can continue reading. I'm not going to bother you yet. ”

Mary finished with a smile, and before Xia Youzhi could speak, she left her room.

Xia Yu paused, and then continued to concentrate on reading.

The clock ticks.

I don't know how long it took for Xia Youzhi to close the book.

She turned her head to look to the side, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the night view of the entire city.

The lights are brilliant and prosperous.

Port City is really a place where people are drunk.

"Knock Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door.

Xia Youzhi turned his head to look at the door, only to see Mary walking in with a frown.

"What's wrong? Mary. Doubts flashed in Xia Youzhi's eyes.

"Gu Tingshen is looking for you, it seems that a message came from your home and asked you to call back." Mary explained softly.

I wonder if something happened?

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi didn't think about it, so he quickly walked out of the door.

Mom, she knows.

It is impossible to find her at the juncture of her game, unless...... Something big is happening at home!

Squeak—

Xia Youzhi opened the door with force.

Gu Tingshen turned his head when he heard this, only to see that his eyebrows were serious.

The two looked at each other, and Xia Youzhi was the first to speak, "What's wrong with my family?" ”

Gu Tingshen frowned slightly, did not speak, but handed over the BB machine in his hand.

Xia Youzhi glanced at Gu Tingshen deeply, and then took over the BB machine.

On the narrow BB screen, just five words.

- Young, call back quickly!

Xia Youzhi's brows furrowed even deeper, and she raised her legs and walked out.

Seeing this, Gu Tingshen hurriedly grabbed her arm.

"Huh?"

Xia Youzhi turned his head and looked at Gu Tingshen with a frown.

"It's late at night, you go and put on a coat." Gu Ting opened his mouth deeply.

Although the south is not as cold as the north, it is early winter, and the temperature at night is also very low, and the little girl has a single coat on her body.

"Good, obedient."

Seeing that Xia Youzhi didn't move, Gu Ting frowned deeply, but his big hand full of calluses did not let go.

Xia Youzhi glanced at him.

"Let go." She replied coldly.

She was very agitated now, and she didn't want to hear any more nonsense.

"What's going on?"

Mary's voice rang out behind her.

Both of them looked to the side at the same time, and saw Mary holding a light blue plaid jacket and a calling card.

The clothes were bought by Gu Tingshen for Xia Youzhi.

"It's cold outside, hurry up and put it on." As she spoke, Mary handed over her coat and then smiled again, "You don't take this calling card, how can you call?" ”

Xia Youzhi looked at Gu Tingshen and struggled twice.

Gu Tingshen's expression was a little cold, but he still let go of Xia Youzhi.

"I'll go down first."

After speaking, Xia Youzhi walked to the elevator without looking back.

Seeing this, Gu Tingshen's face was a little gloomy.

He looked at the stubborn back, and his heart was a little ruthless.

Habitual!

Immediately, he turned to Mary and nodded slightly, "Thank you." ”

"It's okay, let's go." Mary waved her hand.

It wasn't until the two of them disappeared from sight that she smiled and shook her head.

The personalities of these two people are estimated to have to be run-in.

in a phone booth.

Xia Youzhi's fingers quickly flicked the hard buttons.

"Didi ......"

The voice coming out of the microphone made Xia Youzhi a little inexplicably irritable.

Her mother sent her this message, and she would definitely be waiting for her to call at the fat aunt's.

Sure enough, as Xia You's expected.

After two "Didi" rings, the phone was picked up on the other end of the phone.

"Why?" Xia Mu asked uncertainly.

"Mom, it's me."

Xia Youzhi's voice was very calm, which soothed Xia's mother's worried heart a lot.

"Mom bothered you, didn't you?" Xia Mu felt a little guilty.

It's ten o'clock in the evening.

Mashan Town was silent, and everyone fell asleep.

But thinking of her eldest son's phone call in the evening, she really couldn't let go.

After tossing and turning in bed, he ran to the fat aunt's house and said that he was going to call Xia Youzhi.

But Xia Youzhi is in Hong Kong City, and she doesn't know the number.

I thought about calling Xia Youzhi to report her safety last time, but the fat aunt said that it was a phone card and couldn't dial.

Later, through the fat aunt, I found a family in the town with a BB machine.

Only then did he send a message to Gu Tingshen.

It's so late for this toss.

Mother Xia felt very guilty.

"It's alright, Mom. I haven't slept yet, did you call me because something happened at home? ”

Xia Youzhi's brows furrowed, but he still asked patiently.

Xia Mu on the other end of the phone fell silent all of a sudden.

Alas.

Her daughter is smart.

"Mom?" Xia Youzhi shouted suspiciously.

Long.

"Something may have happened to your brother." Xia Mu's voice trembled a little.

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi's heart sank instantly.

"Mom, how can you have such a guess?" Xia Youzhi deliberately probed.

Some time ago, her eldest brother asked her to take the money, and she felt that something was wrong.

Before coming out of the competition, she deliberately asked her godparents to pay attention to the situation at Kyoto University.

Hearing Xia Youzhi's question, Xia Mu didn't know where to start.

"Mom, did you notice something wrong?" Xia Youzhi's brows furrowed slightly, but his voice was still calm.

"Later in the evening, your brother called again."

Xia Mu's voice was very soft, and she seemed to have a sense of helplessness.

"What did my brother say?" Xia Youzhi asked.

"Your brother asked me for the money." Xia Mu's voice was full of worry, but she seemed to be afraid of Xia Youzhi's misunderstanding, so she quickly explained, "I don't understand what club fees are in the university, or what." ”

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi's eyes flashed with deep thought.

But she continued to ask, "Then why do you think something is wrong with my eldest brother?" What if, he's really a college event? ”

"That's right, but ...... I felt that Qingbo seemed to be very tired, and I specifically told him to rest.

And I asked him if the money was in a hurry, and I would have to go to the county in two days, thinking that I would send it to him again when the time came, but I didn't expect it...... Your eldest brother is in a hurry all of a sudden. ”

When Xia Mu said this, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

His own son knows it himself.

I feel the most distressed about my parents and brothers, and I have never spoken to her in this tone.

Although he also realized that his tone was bad and apologized later, Xia Mu could still feel his anxiety.

"My eldest brother, how much?" Xia Youzhi asked lightly.

"Two ...... Two hundred. Xia Mu felt a little guilty.

In her heart, all this money was earned by Xia Youzhi.

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi's hand holding the phone tightened.

Sure enough, something must have happened to her eldest brother!

What are the activities of the community in this era?

That's the income of rural families for more than half a year!

And even if it's true, according to what she knows about Xia Qingbo, her eldest brother would rather quit the club than add a burden to the family!

didn't hear Xia Youzhi's reply, and Xia's mother was even more worried.

"Anyway, I think something has happened to your eldest brother. But I told your dad, and your dad said I thought too much and wouldn't believe it. ”

Xia Mu glanced at the fat aunt who was sitting not far away, lowered her voice, and her heart was full of anxiety.

"Mom, don't worry, I trust you."

Xia Youzhi paused.

She didn't dare to tell Xia's mother that Xia Qingbo asked her to remit 1,000 yuan a few days ago, and if she did, her mother would probably have to rush to Beijing overnight.

"If I tell your dad, he'll say I'm blind." Xia Mu seemed to have found the backbone of the heart all of a sudden, and said sadly, "Mom knows that you are competing, and she doesn't want to disturb you."

But really, Mom doesn't know what to do, and Mom hasn't been to a place so far away from Kyoto, so I'm afraid something will happen to your eldest brother. ”

"Mom, you're doing the right thing, we're a family, there's nothing to disturb." Xia Youzhi comforted softly, "I still have four days to finish here, and I'll go to Kyoto then." ”

In this life, in her heart, the most important thing is her family.

Xia Mu was silent for a long time.

If you listen closely, you can hear the faint sobbing sound.

Xia Youzhi's heart ached.

"Mom, don't cry, nothing will happen, you believe me."

Xia Youzhi's voice was calm, which made Xia Mu have a lot of strength all of a sudden.

"Well, it's hard for you. Mom is going with you. Xia Mu said sadly.

She thought something must have happened to her son, but she couldn't help anything.

She had never been out of a big city, not even a train.

Now she has to work hard for her daughter, she is so guilty.

"Mom, you don't have to go, you can just be at home with peace of mind." Xia Youzhi paused, "I have to pass through Yangcheng when I go back from Hong Kong City, there are many trains in Yangcheng, and there are direct ones to Kyoto, so I can go directly when the time comes." ”

"How can that work?!" Xia Mu exclaimed, "Don't go blind by yourself." ”

Xia Mu's exclamation startled the drowsy fat aunt.

"Nothing, right? Big sister. The fat aunt stood up and looked at Xia Mu's side.

"No, I talked to the kid, a little louder." Xia Mu stiffened a smile.

The conversation between the two came out of the earpiece.

Xia Youzhi listened quietly, and he had already thought about going to Xia Qingbo in his mind.

"Yes."

Xia Mu's voice sounded again.

"Yes, Mom." Xia Youzhi came back to his senses.

"Don't go by yourself, wait for Mom." Xia Mu lowered her voice.

Although I am worried about my eldest son, what can I do if I let my daughter go alone?

Hearing Xia's mother's words, Xia Youzhi smiled.

She felt very warm.

"It's okay, I'll talk to Gu Ting when the time comes...... Uncle Gu went together. Xia Youzhi said.

The reason is that she is foolish.

Anyway, when she goes by herself, her mother won't know.

"This ......"

As soon as she heard that Gu Tingshen was accompanied, Xia Mu's heart was a little shaken.

If Fukako can accompany him, it must be the best.

But......
