Xiao Xiao's speaking speed did not speed up in the slightest because of the ringing of the preparation bell. He remained unhurried and calmed down the girl's sudden nervousness very well.
"You should call Meng Jixi first."
"Um."
The girl responded obediently.
Although Master Xiao didn't answer her question just now, she didn't ask any more questions, "Master Xiao, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Xiuxiu."
Hang up the phone.
Xiao Xiao looked at the time, there were still two minutes left for class.
He needs to hurry up.
Even if you are late, there is still a difference between being one minute late and three minutes late.
Besides, he won't necessarily be late.
...
Xiao Xiao walked into the classroom the second the bell ended.
Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng all gave him a thumbs up under the cover of their books.
"What a critical moment."
Zhuge Yun winked and whispered to Xiao Xiao, who was sitting in the empty seat next to him.
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly.
Seeing Xiao Xiao's proud look, Zhuge Yun clicked his tongue twice, straightened his sitting posture, and concentrated on listening to the lecture.
...
The morning classes were over, and a large wave of students rushed to the cafeteria.
Xiao Xiao and others slowly fell behind.
There was no class in the afternoon, so they decided to go to a restaurant near the school to have a toothpaste.
"Buzz buzz~"
Xiao Xiao took out his mobile phone, and the name on the screen made him raise his eyebrows in surprise.
But it was not the Chi Xiuke he thought she was.
But...
He answered the phone, "Sister Yan Yan."
"Xiaoxiao."
The woman's voice paused, and there was a bit of hesitation at the end of her words, as if she was not sure whether she wanted to continue speaking.
If it were someone else, Xiao Xiao would really pretend that he didn't hear this hesitation, but since it was his cousin...
"What happened?"
he asked directly.
"Chen Xi is missing."
The words that had been swirling in Yu Yanyan's mind for a long time blurted out.
...
Xiao Xiao:......
What day is it today and why are so many people missing?
Moreover, he felt a little helpless in his heart.
If someone disappears, call the police.
Why are they all coming to him?
Does he seem to be good at finding people?
...
After being stunned for a moment, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that everything has been said...
A wry smile appeared on her face, "Actually, I have been hesitating whether to tell you this or not."
"After all, this matter has nothing to do with you."
...
"But you called me just to talk about this, right?"
Xiao Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Then, can you tell me the details?"
Yu Yanyan pursed her lips and then explained the matter.
...
She received a call from Nuan Nuan last night and learned that Chen Xi was missing.
...
Mother Chen went out to buy groceries at noon. She was a little surprised when she didn't hear her daughter calling her when she came back.
My daughter can no longer see, but her hearing is much more sensitive.
Moreover, after my daughter became blind, she would laugh and call them every time she or her father came home.
Mother Chen called her daughter's name.
Got no response.
Mother Chen was a little uneasy.
She dropped the food in her hand, didn't even bother to put on her slippers, and ran directly into the house.
Mother Chen searched the whole house.
The daughter was not found.
She was stunned for a moment.
My whole body was shaking.
If my daughter can't see her, where will she go?
Where could she go?
...
Chen's mother called Chen's father.
After hanging up the phone, her mood calmed down a bit because of Father Chen's words.
My daughter can't see, so even if she goes out, she can't go far.
Because she was worried about her daughter, she didn't go out to buy groceries for long.
It's only half an hour.
My daughter...maybe still in the community!
...
With such expectations, Chen's mother and Chen's father, who came back later, searched the entire community together.
However, it was not found.
No matter how they called their daughter's name, they got no response.
No matter how they searched, they could not see their daughter...
Mother Chen's eyes immediately turned red.
My daughter cannot see, so if she encounters any danger outside...
She can't accept it!
Father Chen's brows were furrowed and his face looked extremely ugly.
But she is always calmer than Chen's mother.
After standing there for a while, he suddenly thought of someone.
Ruan Nuan.
...
During this period, besides Chen's father and Chen's mother, the person who had the most contact with Chen Xi was the tutor Ruan Nuan.
Maybe Ruan Nuan knows where Chen Xi is?
...
Chen Xi has always been a good boy, how could he suddenly...
It would be better if she walked out on her own.
If someone took him out...
Father Chen and Mother Chen didn't dare to think about it at all.
...
Father Chen immediately took out his cell phone and called Ruan Nuan.
Ruan Nuan happened to be busy at the time and did not hear the call.
When she took out her cell phone, she found more than 20 missed calls from Chen's father and Chen's mother combined.
She was stunned and was about to call back when another call came in.
It's Father Chen.
...
Although Ruan Nuan didn't know about it, out of concern for Chen Xi, she rushed over to find Chen Xi nearby with Chen's father and Chen's mother.
They ask everyone they meet.
Soon, the neighbors nearby knew that the Chen family's blind daughter was missing.
Some kind people also helped to search for it.
Until dusk, still nothing was found.
Looking at the red clouds in the sky, Chen's father, who was slightly stooped, called the police.
Because of Chen Xi's special nature, the police accepted the case even though Chen Xi had been missing for a short time.
...
Ruan Nuan stayed with Chen's father, and Chen's mother waited until nightfall before taking a taxi back to school.
On the way, she called Yu Yanyan and told her what happened today.
...
Although Yu Yanyan didn't know Chen Xi, she couldn't help but feel worried.
An invisible girl is alone outside.
No matter how you think about it, it is easy for people to have bad associations.
Of course, it is actually better to be alone. If there is someone by her side...
On the contrary, it is even more unsettling.
...
Ruan Nuan chatted with her for a long time.
Before going to bed, she also received a text message from Ruan Nuan.
There was only one short sentence - "Chen Xi has not been found yet."
She looked at the time at the top of the text message: 23:50.
...
When Yu Yanyan woke up early in the morning, she looked at her phone, but there was no message.
She pursed her lips and sent an inquiring message.
"did you find it?"
Ruan Nuan quickly replied to the message.
"No."
She couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
To be honest, I haven’t found anyone yet, and it’s still a blind young girl...
She really couldn't have any optimistic thoughts.
...
Yu Yanyan's fingers unconsciously tapped the screen of her phone, but she accidentally dialed Xiao Xiao's number.
She was so frightened that she immediately placed her fingertips on the red phone symbol and hung up the phone.
Then I felt my heartbeat speeding up, which was a bit funny.
Why does he act like a thief?
But she also knew that this was just a subconscious reaction.
...
Ruan Nuan called her again in the morning.
Although there is still no news about Chen Xi's whereabouts.
