While waiting for others to make a record, Wen Bailing received a phone call and walked to the side of the road to listen.

The car that I borrowed before had already instructed the driver to drive back, and Tang Qi and their things were also moved to Wen Bailing's car.

Parking space is spacious and the doors are ajar.

From Wen Bailing's angle, you can see the bag of fast food that has been opened on the seat of the car.

The food had barely been touched, and she had only eaten two or three bites of the hamburger she had opened earlier, less than a third, and she had folded it again in a wrapper and placed it on the saddle.

Probably worried about her roommate, she said hello to him and rushed headlong into the police station.

Wen Bailing called for more than 20 minutes before Tang Qi and the others came out of it.

Her roommate was on the verge of collapse, the walking dead being held from side to side by Tang Ji and another roommate, his face as pale as a piece of paper.

I also want to know that the result will not be too good.

In this case, it is difficult to recover the defrauded money, and there are huge fraud organizations behind the seemingly ordinary chat accounts, and it is likely that the scammers are all abroad.

The mobile phone was next to his ear, and his brother's voice came from the transatlantic phone, telling Wen Bailing about the current situation of the new project.

He was a little distracted, his eyes fell on Tang Qi, and he paid some attention to her movements and voice.

Tang Qi is 170cm tall, and he looks quite tall in the flatest white shoes.

Got a face that didn't match his height.

She is the kind of person with very delicate facial features, quiet and attractive, occasionally tilting her head and smiling, very eye-catching, it looks like she has a soft temperament.

But she has a kind of righteousness in the rivers and lakes, and she can't see her relatives and friends suffering.

No, now this girl is acting as the backbone of the dormitory, carefully supporting people, and handing the poked straw Coke to people's lips.

She explained her roommate softly:

"Kiki, you have us, I saved some money part-time last semester, and I will help you recharge the meal card when I run out of money."

"The three of us are all about the same size for clothes or something, so we can just change them when we want to change our mood."

"Difficulties are temporary, they can always be overcome, don't you think about that person anymore, didn't the police say it, it's all organized......"

There was an endless stream of vehicles on the road, and the noisy sound overshadowed some of the words, but looking at his expression, he also knew that Tang Qi was not the kind of person who was alone, and he was bound to share the ups and downs with his roommates.

"I want you to come back to help first, what do you think?"

threw out a few sentences in a row and didn't get a serious response, Wen Baiqi on the phone also noticed Wen Bailing's absent-mindedness, and asked with a smile: "Bailing, what's the matter, are you busy with anything else?" ”

Wen Bailing came back to her senses and smiled: "I'm not busy, but there are indeed some distractions." ”

was asked by his brother again what the side meant, he looked at the figure not far away, and said quite undecisively, it was a young woman.

"Brother, I won't tell you yet. I'm here to help others, I'll call you back later, and let the assistant book the ticket for me, and I can do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

Wen Bailing drove his car and sent them back to school, he had his own considerations, and parked in the parking lot outside the school gate without entering the dormitory.

Tang Qi didn't get out of the car with his roommates, and asked Lu Qian to accompany Chen Yiqi to go back first. After bothering people for so long, it was not good for her to just leave and stay alone with Wen Bailing.

If you want to say something more, you can think about it, and there are only a few words of thanks that are commonly used, and if you say too much, it makes people feel insincere, floating on the surface, and the only thing that can be put into action is what you have said before, "I invite you to dinner".

The space in the car is very spacious, and the dark fragrance floats.

Wen Bailing didn't refuse her promise this time, but said half-jokingly: "You won't have too much money in your bedroom these days, so you always think about treats, good meals are not afraid of being late, I remember your meal, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

He unbuckled his seatbelt and sent her to the dormitory, without saying anything too ambiguous.

Only when she was about to leave, he grabbed her wrist, leaned into her ear, and whispered-

"Go back and eat something again, it's too little to eat."

When I look back, that spring seems to be a crossroads connecting many people's lives, intricate, and life is no longer just a matter of solving most of my worries.

But when I recall it carefully, that night, Wen Bailing's smiling eyes are always extremely clear in my mind.

It was already April.

Throughout the spring, Chen Yiqi failed to get out of the blow of being deceived, she was numb, and often had nightmares and cried at night.

Fortunately, Tang Qi and Lu Qian have been with her.

They agreed that someone would always be there in the dormitory, and Chen Yiqi would not be left alone.

On weekends, when Tang Qi goes to work part-time or goes to her aunt's house, Lu Qian will take Chen Yiqi back to her home and ask her family to make dumplings for her.

When Chen Yiqi finally cheered up, spring had passed, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the cicadas were singing wave after wave under the scorching sun.

It's the end of June.

Approaching the summer vacation, Tang Qi found a new part-time job in addition to studying, and worked with Chen Yiqi as an evening teaching assistant in a nearby children's sports institution, with a daily salary.

Life seems to be going smoothly again:

Tang Qi played very well in the final exam, and he handed in a satisfactory answer sheet for the whole year of his freshman year, and he was bound to win the scholarship assessed in the second semester of his sophomore year;

Her two part-time jobs are relatively stable, her boss is also very good, and she gradually has more savings in her hands;

And the aunt also promised to spare more than ten days to go back to her hometown with her.

It's just that before leaving the capital during the summer vacation, Tang Qi still had something in his heart that he couldn't let go.

She still owes Wen Bailing a favor, and she didn't fulfill her promise to invite guests to dinner.

Tang Ji sent a message to Wen Bailing, first reported her name, and then told him that he had more money, and if it was convenient for him recently, he could treat her to dinner before she went home.

For a few minutes after the message was sent, there was no movement on the phone.

Tang Qi thought with some suspicion, could it be that the last time they met, they caused him too much trouble, although Wen Bailing didn't say it, but he was not very happy in his heart, and deliberately alienated this already shallow relationship?

Lu Qian came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, with a towel wrapped in her hair, and saw Tang Qi holding her mobile phone in a daze, she came to her with a bath basket and waved the comb in her hand: "Tang Qi, what do you want?" ”

Lu Qian and the others had also seen Wen Bailing before, and Tang Qi also told the truth, saying that he planned to invite people to dinner before going home.

Lu Qian thought about it, pulled a chair and sat down beside Tang Qi, and asked her, "Didn't he contact you again after that day?" ”

Tang Qi shook his head, and couldn't say if he had been disappointed in his heart: "No." ”

They really haven't been in touch.

For more than two months, Wen Bailing seemed to have evaporated from the world, and she never met him again in the elevator of her aunt's house.

"Well, that's probably because I'm wrong."

Lu Qian spread her hair and rubbed her hair with a towel: "Wasn't he there all the time when I went to the police station, I thought he wanted to chase you, so he took the trouble to help." Actually, others feel pretty good, but ......"

The roommate changed his words and told Tang Ling to be careful, saying that Wen Bailing looked too rich, and it was dangerous to look at.

Tang Qi recalled that day, and felt that Wen Bailing had not done anything particularly to show off his wealth, and he was not even as flamboyant as the friend he called for the stolen picture, so he asked curiously and asked Lu Qian how he saw it.

"The car, his car, if I'm not mistaken, should be Bentley's Cullinan, my little dream car, frighteningly expensive. Every day, he catches me and shows me pictures and videos on the Internet. ”

After saying this, Lu Qian took out a hair dryer and blew her hair.

The electricity in the dormitory is limited, the power of the hair dryer is very low, the wind is not strong, it takes a long time to dry the hair, and the bathroom has been buzzing, and it is not quiet.

In the midst of these noisy sounds, Tang Qi took out his mobile phone and searched for "Cullinan", and the picture that popped up resembled Wen Bailing's car, and the price was indeed amazing.

The phone rang, and Wen Bailing's name suddenly appeared on the screen.

Tang Qi held up his mobile phone and picked up the phone on the balcony.

The noon sun is shining on her side, the cicadas are chirping, the metal railings of the balcony are all hot, and the paint part reflects the sunlight, which is dazzling.

Wen Bailing didn't seem to wake up, and her voice was sleepy.

But on the phone, his voice was smiling: "What, finally remembered to invite me to dinner?" ”

Tang Qi said "um", thinking that today was the weekend, he was a little unsure whether he was disturbing people's dreams, so he could only ask him tentatively: "Wen Bailing, haven't you gotten up yet?" ”

"I haven't slept yet."

Wen Bailing said that she was abroad, with jet lag, and it was now more than 12 o'clock in the evening.

I didn't expect him to be so far away, this meal would definitely not be available, and there was nothing else to do with him, Tang Qi was a little speechless, and he didn't know what to say.

Wen Bailing didn't hang up the phone, and chatted with her casually.

He said that he graduated with a master's degree this year, and he had not yet decided whether to continue his PhD or go home to help the company, so he tried to prepare for both things.

"I've been too busy lately, and I have no plans to return to China in a short time, don't worry about the treat, you save again, and contact you when I return to China."

Tang Qi thought for a while: "Okay, if you wait for us to come back next semester, in case we catch up with my scholarship assessment, I can invite you to have a good meal." ”

She always spoke like this, with a kind of silly sincerity.

Even if his family is superior and not worse than this half meal, she still takes it seriously.

Wen Bailing teasingly asked her, "So confident", Tang Qi was a little embarrassed, his voice was a little quieter, but he didn't retreat, and answered him with a little pride.

She said, "Well, in fact, my academic performance is quite good, and I am still the president of our class."

Wen Bailing was amused by her: "That's okay, wait for you to contact me when you come down for the scholarship, whether you are busy or not, I will go back to the soup squad leader for a treat, and a word is a certainty." ”
