Xie Yuqing sent a meaningless "haha" and continued to work on the paper.
However, from this day on, they would chat a few words from time to time.
At the beginning, the topic was still surrounding Jinkuo Villa——
[Vita Xie: Is there any news about what happened that day [acting cute]]
【Aric Russell: Not yet.】
[Aric Russell: I may not be able to find out.]
Thinking that he seemed to be an illegitimate child and might not be that powerful, although Xie Yuqing was disappointed, she could only worry.
…
[Aric Russell: I asked, the use of your identity is a coincidence, don’t worry.]
[Vita Xie: How can you not worry? What is going on in that healing home? 】
Since she didn't know whether the other party knew about the existence of the people from the center of the earth, she asked very vaguely.
[Aric Russell: I don’t know, but I’ve asked them to correct it.]
Xie Yuqing, who didn't realize that he had spilled the beans, was half happy and half worried, and sent a message to an anonymous email, asking Zhong Yao to help pay attention to the current situation of Jinkuo Villa.
It wasn't until two days later that Zhong Yao told her that Jinkuo Villa had closed down that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, the content of their chats became routine.
[Aric Russell shared a link]
[Vita Xie: It seems that you can’t buy that kind of health tea in the UK...]
【Aric Russell:What dormitory number do you live in?】
The next day she received a box of barley and red bean tea, enough for her to drink for half a year.
…
[Aric Russell: Autumn break is coming soon, here is a travel guide you can read.]
[Aric Russell shared a travel note]
[Vita Xie: Thank you [cute]]
[Vita Xie: However, I am under a lot of academic pressure recently, so I may not be able to travel...]
[Aric Russell: Combining work and rest, prolonging life~]
…
[Vita Xie shared a small program]
[Aric Russell: Personality test? Are you planning to minor in psychology?]
[Vita Xie: Haha no~ my friend sent it to me, it feels pretty accurate. 】
Maybe he was alone abroad, and suddenly having someone to chat with made his mood brighter. Unknowingly, Xie Yuqing got used to chatting with him a few words every day.
Sometimes it was one or two interesting sharings, and sometimes it was about the various difficulties encountered in school. It was difficult for her to describe the wonderful relationship between them, as if two unrelated parallel lines had quietly intersected.
Aric is very patient and seems to have a good temper. He will always analyze problems for her from different perspectives, which has benefited her a lot.
Xie Yuqing originally thought that the good "net friend relationship" between them would continue forever.
But a phone call from Zhong Yao changed everything.
It was the day before Thanksgiving.
Xie Yuqing had just hung up the phone from her father, feeling very bad, and then an unknown number called.
Zhong Yao told her that they found the mastermind behind Jinkuo Villa and wanted to take her to a place called "Greenland".
Since returning from London that time, Zhong Yao has not contacted him for a full month.
Xie Yuqing had almost forgotten the incident at Jinkuo Villa.
But when it was suddenly mentioned again, she still wanted to figure out the whole process.
So she agreed without saying a word.
However, she soon realized that she had to go regardless of whether she agreed or not.
Because ten minutes later, Zhong Yao called her again, saying that he had arrived in Cambridge and asked her to rush to the parking lot.
Xie Yuqing vaguely felt that something was going on this time, so she quietly brought the fruit knife she usually used for peeling.
It's tasteless, but it's better than nothing.
In the parking lot in the evening, the sunset filled half of the sky with red.
Zhong Yao was standing next to a black SUV smoking a cigarette. When he saw her coming, he licked the cigarette butt and gave her a look.
