"Hello?" Just as the call was connected, Bo Anrui suddenly put it down. He threw away the phone with a panic look and turned over to get out of bed.
Ignoring my injured ankle, I quickly came to the window sill.
On the windowsill, there was the fish tank as always, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the two kissing fish inside!
After raising fish for so many years, he already knows the habits of kissing fish very well. When they are happy, their mouths will suck and pop. If they always close their mouths, they are sick or unhappy.
Also, look at their eyes. If their eyes move when people approach the fish tank, that means there is no problem. But if their eyes don’t move and just look at one place steadily, then
Maybe he's sick.
"Think about it, Nian Nian... what's wrong with you?" He tapped lightly on the glass wall of the fish tank with his fingers. Even so, the two fishes still didn't have much reaction.
No! That’s not possible!
A chill of loss hit him from the soles of his feet, and he shuddered involuntarily.
He had no time to think too much and quickly changed his clothes and got ready to go out.
Sweep your wallet, mobile phone, car keys, etc. into your pocket, then carefully pick up the fish tank with both hands, wrap it in a plastic bag, and quickly go out.
It was now 3:30 in the morning. If he drove to the Flower, Bird and Fish Market, it would only take him half an hour.
But the problem is, it’s so early, the Flower, Bird and Fish Market is still closed, and it won’t open until at least five o’clock!
He quickly called a fish seller he knew well, Master Zhao, who had helped him save the two fish.
Fortunately, Master Zhao's phone is still open at this time.
But no one answered the phone.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
Every time it rang and every second he waited, his heart trembled.
Looking at the two kissing fish in the fish tank, which were becoming increasingly lifeless, his throat felt as if someone had strangled him, almost suffocating him.
These two fish, one is called Xiangxiang and the other is called Niannian, which are the names he gave them.
They were not just two fishes, but also filled with his endless thoughts about her.
Over the years, he took them with him wherever he went.
Many times, during the airport security check, they are not allowed to be taken on the plane. So OK, then he will not get on the plane. Even if he gave up many good job opportunities because of this, he will never give up on them.
Never again!

At five o'clock in the morning, Jimilan woke up quietly.
No, to be more precise, she didn't sleep much at all.
That night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep peacefully. She was always worried, as if she had a bad premonition.
She pressed the alarm clock which was not yet time and got up.
She couldn't sleep anyway, so she might as well go for a walk and get some fresh air to clear her mind.
After briefly washing up, she walked out of the house at a quarter past five.
After going downstairs and walking along the sidewalk, I met some people doing morning exercises. Some of them were jogging, some were walking, some were going to the morning market to buy vegetables and fruits, and there were even elderly people walking their cats and dogs.
Flowers and birds.
She saw a silver-haired old woman holding a small potted plant in her hand. She was very cute. She suddenly became interested, spun on her heels, and walked towards the flower, bird and fish market.
She hasn't been to the flower, bird and fish market for many years. The last time she went was nine years ago.
That's where I bought the two kissing fish.
Thinking of the two kissing fish that he bought and wanted to raise but failed to raise, Jimilan suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
I don’t know what’s going on with those two fish now?
When she left that year, she left the two fish with the landlord. The landlord should treat them well, right?
Jimilan thought in a daze all the way until he reached the entrance of the flower, bird and fish market, and suddenly stopped thinking.
Although nine years have passed, the place has not changed much, and it is still as peaceful and warm as an idyllic landscape.
The sky is slightly brighter and the morning sun is brighter, adding a bit of poetry and painting.
She raised the corners of her lips slightly and walked along the small shops, staring at the stalls, looking for lovely flowers and plants.
She no longer wants to raise fish, but she can still raise flowers.
She visited a few shops along the way and fell in love with several small potted plants, but the boss was very aggressive in asking for prices early in the morning. She had heard someone say that the rules here were the same as at a vegetable market. The later the time, the cheaper the prices.
She was not in a hurry, so she took her time shopping.
It’s not that I have to worry about the eighty cents, but sometimes it’s fun to haggle over the price.
She was strolling around leisurely, but when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a familiar figure not far ahead.
She blinked, thinking she was dazzled, but after blinking hard, she found that the figure was still there.
The man squatting in front of a small fish stall turned out to be Bao Anrui?
She found it incredible, how could it be him?
Wasn't his foot injured? Why didn't he listen to the doctor and take a good rest?
What is he doing here this early in the morning?
A series of question marks popped up in her mind, and she walked towards him unconsciously.
He had his back to her and was squatting on the ground, but she still recognized him at a glance.
But, she couldn't tell what he was doing.
Buy fish?
She frowned slightly, thinking it was impossible.
But if you don't buy fish, why are you squatting in front of that small fish stall?
He kept his head down, wasn't he looking at the fish?
She frowned more and more out of suspicion.
She gradually approached him and saw him more clearly. He squatted there motionless, while a man next to him who seemed to be the owner of a stall patted him on the shoulder, lowered his head and said something.
There was still some distance, and the boss's voice was very low, so she didn't hear what they were saying, but... there was a faint hint of weirdness.
"Miss, do you want to buy fish? Have you raised fish before? Do you have a favorite species? Let me introduce it to you!" She walked to the stall and the boss greeted her warmly.
"Thank you, I'll just take a look first." She said with a smile, looking at him on the ground.
She was standing so close and even talked to the boss, but he didn't even notice?
When did his alertness get so low?
"Bo Anrui..."
She called him, but he still didn't respond at all!
