The resort is built on a hill, far from the city, not to mention a taxi, and you can't even see a person outside the main entrance.

Even if you can get to the train station now, it's too late, and the last train to Luhai just left half an hour ago.

Zhang Yunfei tried to contact the hotel customer service, hoping that they could borrow a car, and the staff received the message and said that it would take time to coordinate and reply to them after confirmation.

But Wen Jingyu couldn't wait, and now it was torment for her for a second.

She changed her clothes, she didn't care about her wet hair, grabbed her mobile phone and ran out of the door, Zhang Yunfei, who was still on the phone, didn't have time to react, turned her head and disappeared.

The soup house villas are arranged in a staggered manner, but the hotel deliberately distributes the street lamps very sparsely in order to create an artistic conception.

It was dark all around, and the buried lights on the path in front of the door became the brightest source of light.

Wen Jingyu opened the ride-hailing software while walking out of the villa, it may be that the location here is really remote, and there is no response from either a taxi or an online car-hailing service.

At the same time, she unconsciously quickened her pace, there was still a long way to go from here to the hotel lobby.

"Wenwen, you wait for me!"

Zhang Yunfei's voice came from behind her, Wen Jingyu held the mobile phone and subconsciously turned back, but she still didn't stop her hurried pace.

When she shook her head, her shoulder seemed to hit something hard, and the force of the hedge first threw the mobile phone in her hand out, and then her body couldn't help leaning.

Seeing that she was about to fall to the hard ground, Wen Jingyu's exclamation was still blocked in her throat, and her waist was grabbed by a strong force in the next second.

The man's strong arm dragged her steadily, and he took the opportunity to take the direction of his arms and straighten her body.

In the dim light, Wen Jingyu watched Zhou Rongye take two steps to the side, leaned over to pick up the mobile phone on the ground, and then handed it back to her.

The night breeze in the mountains carried the refreshing coolness, different from the dress at dinner, the man put on a thin jacket, and it was his favorite black, which made the whole person look handsome and upright.

"Teacher Wen."

This is the second time Wen Jingyu has bumped into him, Zhou Rongye's teasing words have not yet been spoken, and when he saw the undried tears on the face of the woman in front of him, his heart twitched slightly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Perhaps people always throw away some logic and proportion when they are helpless, and his patient and concerned greetings made Wen Jingyu blurt out his name unconsciously.

"Zhou Rongye."

The slight trilling call was also the first time she called him by name.

Zhou Rongye was a little stunned, he stabilized his mind and responded in a deep voice: "You say." ”

"Help me."

For some reason, from the moment he saw Zhou Rongye, Wen Jingyu was sure that he would definitely help him.

She briefly explained the reason, and he didn't ask much, only said follow me.

On the way to the hotel lobby, he made a brief phone call, and within five minutes, the shiny black Cullinan was parked at the gate.

The uniformed staff handed him the keys and handed him a paper bag with the hotel's logo on it.

Zhang Yunfei, who followed closely, stared at Zhou Rongye's tall and broad back, and thousands of questions popped up in her heart, but now was not the time to be curious, she quickened her pace to keep up, and sat in the back row with Wen Jingyu.

After starting the car, I drove down the mountain without hesitation, and the navigation destination was a pet hospital in Luhai City, and the remaining distance was 65 kilometers, which took an hour and a half.

After Wen Jingyu got into the car, she called Cui Jin again and asked about the situation at the moment, but the reply she got was still not very optimistic.

"Don't worry, the circle has always been strong." Zhang Yunfei patted her friend's back and soothed her slowly.

"Obviously it was fine yesterday." Wen Jingyu wiped the corners of her eyes, "How could this suddenly happen." ”

She recalled that in the past few months, there was indeed a decrease in appetite and weight loss, but she naturally blamed it all on the fact that the weather was too hot, and the dog was old, so she didn't think about it at all.

Feelings of self-blame and guilt came together, and Wen Jingyu closed her eyes tiredly.

After the car went down the hill, it took a short section of the provincial road, and then crossed an intersection to get on the highway.

Taking advantage of the gap between waiting for the red light, Zhou Rongye in the driver's seat handed the paper bag given by the hotel to the back row.

Zhang Yunfei took the initiative to take it, and there were actually a few clean towels and two bottles of unopened mineral water.

"Wipe your hair."

Zhou Rongye stared at the countdown signal light and did not look back.

If it weren't for his reminder, Zhang Yunfei would almost have ignored her and Wen Jingyu's hair that was still dripping with water.

She thought to herself, this man must be too careful.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The red light turns green, and the car turns and heads straight to the toll booth.

Zhang Yunfei's hair was short, and it was half dry after a few rubs, but Wen Jingyu's long hair was already wet on her shoulders.

Worried that she would catch a cold, Zhang Yunfei put one of the towels on her shoulders, and the other one was left to wipe her hair, and Wen quietly turned her head to thank her, and her nasal voice was a little thick.

Just ten minutes after getting on the highway, the quiet atmosphere in the carriage was broken by the prompt tone of the car phone, Zhou Rongye pressed the answer button, and Jiang Peinan's anxious voice immediately exploded.

"Where have you been? Does it take so long to change shirts, an hour has passed, and you still can't come? ”

"You go on, I'll go back to Luhai."

"This point? Make no mistake about you, what's wrong? ”

"Nothing, temporary situation."

Jiang Peinan's voice on the other end began to be noisy, he didn't know that there were still people in Zhou Rongye's car, and teased meaningfully: "It won't be for your 'mortal heart', right?" ”

"Hung up."

"Ye Zai, don't be too anxious, you have to take a breath when you hang yourself......"

Zhou Rongye didn't give him a chance to continue, and cut off the call directly.

The two people in the back row held their breath and concentrated, Zhang Yunfei couldn't understand Cantonese, and didn't understand a word of dialogue, although Wen Jingyu knew a little about it, she also knew that Zhou Rongye must have pushed away her own affairs in order to send her back to Luhai.

In fact, he only needed to help arrange a car, and he didn't refuse such a sudden and presumptuous request, and even sent it off in person.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you tonight." Wen Jingyu is a heartfelt thanks.

At an angle that they couldn't see, Zhou Rongye nodded his eyebrows with one hand.

Isn't it nice to call him by name, and change it back.

"It's still more than fifty minutes to go." Zhou Rongye glanced at the navigation, "Take a break." ”

The car was speeding on the highway, and the group arrived at the pet hospital earlier than expected.

As soon as Zhou Rongye parked the car, Wen Jingyu and Zhang Yunfei hurriedly got out of the car and ran directly to the hospital hall.

I saw Cui Jin sitting alone on the rest chair outside the clinic, holding a dog leash in his hand, and Wen Yuyang was recalled by the hospital before, and he was still doing an emergency consultation at the moment, and he didn't know the news.

"Mom, how's the circle? Where is it? ”

Wen Jingyu was nervous, her hands clenched into fists, and her nails pinched out dents in her palms.

"Silence."

Cui Jin raised her head, a pair of red and swollen eyes were obviously crying, and she shook her head slightly: "There is no way." ”

Wen Jingyu took a deep breath and sat down next to Cui Jin, her brain was buzzing now, and her heart was also hurting, as if she was going to be dragged out and thrown to the ground.

The doctor in charge of the diagnosis and treatment happened to appear, and Zhang Yunfei immediately stepped forward to communicate with him, and learned that Huanhuan was now placed in the observation room, and there was no heartbeat or breathing.

Rao is Zhang Yunfei, who has never had a pet before, can't accept this result, more than ten years of companionship, the circle has long been a family-like existence for the Wen family.

The sudden separation, Wen Jingyu didn't even see the last side of the circle.

She sat down in her chair for a moment, then got up and went to the observation room, where her eyes were red and her face was bloodless.

The pet hospital has provided several business cards, which are the contact information of the pet funeral, if you need to call directly.

Wen Jingyu stared at the strings of phone numbers, and there was no expression on her calm face.

"I'm going to make a call." After saying that, he walked out of the pet hospital.

She found a corner alley, right next to the hospital, where there were no street lights, only a 24-hour convenience store that glowed brightly.

Wen Jingyu did not dial out according to the contact information on the business card, but first pulled out Liang Xiaohan's number from the address book.

I waited for the call prompt to sound for a long time, and was about to hang up when someone picked it up.

Before Wen Jingyu could speak, a beautiful female voice came from the other end.

"Hey."

The tail note rises upward, with nonchalance.

Wen Jingyu's heart sank, and she took the phone from her ear to her eyes and glanced at it, she was not mistaken, it was Liang Xiaohan's mobile phone number.

After "feeding" it several times, he began to get impatient: "Can you hear me?" If you don't speak, I'll hang up. ”

"Is Liang Xiaohan here? Ask him to answer the phone. ”

Wen Jingyu didn't even use the most basic polite words, but the other party didn't seem to care much.

"He's drunk, he's already asleep, and he can't talk to you now."

The man kindly suggested, "Why don't you tell me, and I'll relay it for you when he wakes up." ”

Wen Jingyu directly cut off the phone.

There was an empty can of beer at her feet, and she stared at the shiny green can, her vision becoming more and more blurred, and her nasal cavity was filled with sourness.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly stomped on the can in anger, kicked it against the wall, squatted down heedlessly, and cried bitterly.

The alley was dim, and no one would notice a collapsed figure crouching in the corner.

Wen Jingyu cried wantonly, she rarely let out her emotions like this, but at the moment she couldn't control herself, or she didn't want to control it at all, and even hoped that she would cry and faint like this.

Time passed quietly, and after the howl turned into a sob.

The automatic door of the convenience store sounded a "welcome" prompt, and even the wind chimes were bumped into it, and a few minutes later, the same sound appeared again, and it was someone walking out of the convenience store.

Wen Jingyu maintained a squatting position with her knees hugged, and gradually, she felt that the pitiful light in front of her suddenly disappeared.

Shadows hung over her, and a black jacket draped over her shoulders.

With a faint scent of cedar, it is crisp and silent.

There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but I can't say it.

Wen Jingyu raised her head from the crook of her arm, only to see Zhou Rongye also squatting down in front of her, holding a pack of tissues and a box of pink strawberry gummies in her slender fingers, and handed it to her.

"Let's have a piece of candy."
