Su Xiaoqiang typed "Are you there" on the screen, and after waiting for a few minutes for no response from the other party, he cut out the chat interface with some frustration. The last recorded speech of the other party in the chat history was last displayed on the afternoon of May 19th.
is a string of dates, 2010
25, and then there was Su Xiaoqiang's simple harassing chat with no nutrition (question-type chats such as whether he had eaten, whether he had slept, what he was doing, etc.), and the other party did not respond at all. After the message was sent,
The avatar has been gray for nearly a week, and I don’t know if it’s a unilateral invisibility or if it’s really offline.
The chat interface was cut out, revealing the group photo in the cafe on the big screen. The girl reached out and gently raised the corners of the boy's mouth to make him smile. Outside the window was a garden with falling rain, and the warm yellow light shone on the window and reflected two people.
The back figures of individuals leaning together, every inch of light and shadow, and every pixel look so beautiful, making people wish they could freeze at that moment forever.
Su Xiaoqiang tilted his head and looked at his screensaver in a daze. After being stunned for a while, he focused his attention on the time in the lower right corner. It is now eight o'clock in the morning on May 25th, and there is something outside the drawn floral curtains that cannot be covered.
A ray of sunlight shines on the wooden floor close to the wall like a flowing golden snake. It is so dazzling that it dazzles the eyes. You can imagine how good the weather is today.
She pushed open the pink mechanical keyboard on the table, stretched to the window and grabbed the curtain. With a gentle pull, brilliant golden waterfalls rushed into the entire room, illuminating every corner.
of fine dust.
She raised her hand to cover the strong summer breath and squinted her eyes to look at the dripping blue sky above the rows of tree shades. There was a faint buzzing sound from the plane flying far above the city.
"Xiaoqiang, breakfast has been prepared. Today is rice cakes and soy milk. I heard you said yesterday that you wanted to eat something sweet, and I made you a small white steamed bun that you can eat with condensed milk. If you have slept well, you can come out directly.
Let's have breakfast in the restaurant. When I came, I saw something at the door that I needed to sign for. I was afraid that it was something valuable and might get damaged, but I didn't let you touch it. If you have time, go to the doorman's place to pick it up in person.
Let me put a cover on your dining table to keep it warm before you go!" The nanny's voice came from downstairs outside the door. The voice inherited the passivity that middle-aged women automatically acquire when they get older and regret it. It has strong penetration no matter what is hidden in it.
You can hear it in every room in the villa, but without this angry aunt, you can't go to four or five houses a day to support your daughter who is in college.
Su Xiaoqiang changed out of her pajamas, opened the closet, picked out a relatively plain white short T-shirt, and put on a pair of denim suspenders. She gestured in the mirror and felt that she looked a lot more like the girl next door... Looking back, she was still the same.
There was no movement on the screen or mobile phone. I sighed, put on my slippers and trotted out of the room.
The wind blew the leaves of the cypress and poplar trees outside the window, rustling, and the two petals of the white quilt that had just been hung up on the balcony were gently swaying with the sun in front and back. Su Xiaoqiang stepped on the stairs, stretched out her hands, and yawned, feeling a little awake.
He rubbed his eyes as if waking up.
The dining table was covered with a metal dinner cover. When you opened the first one, it wasn't morning but a note. On it was a message from Su's father, saying that he had to go to Europe to discuss business in the next few days and wouldn't be back. What was there?
Call him on the phone or leave it to his driver. He also asked her to help her with the matter of studying abroad this time. He told her not to worry. She would have normal classes and take the college entrance examination well. If she still wants to go abroad in the future,
Dad will still fully support her...
Su Xiaoqiang read every line of words, folded the note and pressed it under the plate. He sat in the empty restaurant and quietly ate breakfast. He took out his mobile phone and put it on the table. One message notification after another popped up, and he clicked on it.
After opening it, I jumped directly into the class group. What immediately caught my eye was a photo.
The photo was sent by Zhao Menghua. The shooting location was in the hospital. The girl on the hospital bed was wearing a white striped hospital gown. Her left hand was gently resting on a book "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" lying flat on the quilt, and her right hand was gesturing.
Scissorhands looked at the camera with a slightly sleepy smile.
The news that Chen Wenwen was found and admitted to the hospital has spread among the class. On the first day of opening for visits, the ward was overcrowded by members of the literary club. A literary club without its president is like a Christian losing its church.
Pilgrims are no longer in Jerusalem, and now that Chen Wenwen is back, the entire literary society has finally been revitalized. They are so happy that they can perform "Praise to the Resurrection of Jesus" live in the hospital ward.
Su Xiaoqiang also went to see Chen Wenwen that day, chatted with her for a while, and asked her what she remembered, but the answers she got were somewhat specious. She didn't ask further questions and just said that the person was back.
Regarding the disappearance of Chen Wenwen, the news announced by the police was very surprising, but it was particularly realistic. The next day after Chen Wenwen returned, a TV news announcement announced that a secret pyramid scheme organization that had been running around the country had finally been captured.
This secret organization is different from the pyramid schemes of the southern and northern schools, and has chosen mobile pyramid schemes to commit crimes. There are many people involved and countless victims, and Chen Wenwen also happens to be a victim.
According to the police description, when she was discovered, Chen Wenwen was being held in a MLM den and memorizing the MLM speech manual. Probably the MLM personnel took a fancy to the girl's excellent manuscript reading skills and wanted to train her to become the next MLM leader.
I put a lot of effort into brainwashing this girl. After a lot of efforts from the police to correct me, I finally reversed those incorrect ideas, but the price is that now this girl will seem a little dazed from time to time.
My memory doesn't match up either.
The doctor comforted her by saying that she would recover after a while. Even if she forgot the previous experience, it would still be a good thing. Her parents and classmates who cared about her felt at ease. She was expected to be discharged from the hospital today or tomorrow.
She returned to reviewing and studying, and one month was enough for her to recover from this incident and work hard for the college entrance examination.
Everything seemed to be back on track, and there were no earth-shattering incidents. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a girl who had been missing for a while and was found. Zhao Menghua, who was very grateful, rushed to send a banner to the police station and asked for donations and support.
The police chief thanked the police officers for their work and said that we deserved this banner. Let’s talk about donations...
In the whole incident, there was nothing about Su Xiaoqiang, nor anything about Lu Mingfei, nor anything about the boy who really solved the matter. The Pearl Tower reopened after being closed for a few days. Su Xiaoqiang watched the live broadcast of the local news,
The inside and outside are brand new, but the door to the safe corridor is locked. It will probably take a while longer before the inside can be opened. I don’t know if those walls and the broken limbs on the corridor have been cleaned, if they are picked up by a tourist in the future...
She glanced at her phone and saw that the "are you there" hadn't been answered yet, which seemed a bit deserted and sad. She couldn't help but confirm today's date again, and could only comfort herself that it was too early.
Maybe he will return to himself by noon?
After checking the phone, the class group next door took advantage of Chen Wenwen's recuperation in the hospital to start chatting about what kind of gifts Chen Wenwen would give her after she was discharged from the hospital. Some people were responsible for banners, others were buying hydrogen balloons, and large bundles of literature books and books were also being delivered.
Probably because he wanted to surprise the girl in class... Su Xiaoqiang didn't have much interest.
After having a real "confession game" with the boy that day, she found that the few roads she originally planned for the future suddenly widened into two or three, and after the fog cleared, a hanging bridge was hung over the abyss.
Bridge, avoiding the suspension bridge, she can still walk on the former Sunshine Avenue.
Her father has helped her establish a good relationship in China. The president of a major university in Shanghai is an old classmate with her father. Recently, when doing business overseas, it is inevitable that she will travel there a lot. I happened to meet up with old classmates a few times and have a drink.
After a few drinks, the other party boasted that as long as your daughter takes the college entrance examination, I will have to get it for you...
His father was really worried about Su Xiaoqiang's studies. Not only domestic but also foreign universities were basically familiar with it. He also specially prepared a bank card at home with a "sponsored" label on it.
The numbers are enough to make the president of every American university smile approvingly.
After all, the Su family has no other children except Su Xiaoqiang, the eldest daughter, and her father is not planning to have a second child, so she will most likely inherit her father's family business after four years of study. At that time, she doesn't know how big the Su family will be.
No matter how strong she is, there should be no problem in keeping her happy and a rich woman for the rest of her life.
But will she really be satisfied with this...?
From now on, when she walks on the haze-free Sunshine Avenue, will she be able to resist looking back at the boy walking alone on the hanging bridge? Now the boy has reached out to her for the first time and given her a choice.
After eighteen years of happy life, Su Xiaoqiang met the boy named Lin Nian, standing in front of the huge door, behind which there was an uncertain future and danger.
Are you scared? She was scared that night. She was so scared that she couldn't walk. She was only supported by her stubbornness. She was not sure how far she could go, but at least she found herself in the end.
I got all the answers I wanted.
Today, eighteen years later, this hidden door finally opened to Su Xiaoqiang. Standing behind the door was a boy holding a sword as bright as a seraph.
The other party extended his hand to her. If she refused, she would have no chance of anything behind the door. She only had one chance. The boy probably wanted to prepare herself mentally by not contacting her for so long.
Su Xiaoqiang and Lin Nian chose coins countless times. Each time they guessed, they paced and knocked on the door tentatively. But this time, the other party finally put the coin in front of her from his hand, and she wanted to
All you have to do is muster up the courage to open the door and choose the coin.
As time went by, the topic in the class group gradually wandered to watching movies. Su Xiaoqiang glanced at it, swallowed the last bite of breakfast, and turned off the screen. After drinking a mouthful of water and gargling her mouth, she cleared away the plates and changed them.
I put on a pair of white sneakers and went out.
The sun was so strong along the way that she regretted not putting on sunscreen when she went out. However, the distance from here to the entrance of the community was not far away. She trotted in the shade of a tree, and her black hair tied back was fluttering up and down.
She approached the shadow in front of the guard room. The guard uncle glanced at Su Xiaoqiang and immediately greeted him warmly. This was probably due to the Ghost that Su Xiaoqiang's father had recently changed into. The goddess of joy was so polished that she wished she could be
Looking in the mirror, every time he came in and out of the community, the doorman was so serious that he almost thought he was going to raise his hand to salute. The whole community knew that the Su family was getting more prosperous, and the villa where Miss Su lived became a celebrity in the eyes of almost all the celebrities.
The fried chicken is going to shine.
“Do you have anything of mine?” Su Xiaoqiang asked after politely greeting him for a few words.
“Yes, yes, there is a letter that requires your personal signature.”
A letter was pushed out of the doorman's window. Su Xiaoqiang paused and took it. It was pure white with a faint sweet fragrance, and there was a violet pattern on the seal of the envelope. "Instructions? Did the postman say that?"
"The person who delivered the letter is a foreign girl. She has very strange platinum hair. She doesn't dress like a postman and drives a nice car. She also speaks very good Chinese. She specifically said that you need to get this letter in person to open it.
You can't let anyone else collect it on your behalf, and I didn't even give it to your aunt when she came here just now," the guard said.
"A foreign girl?" Su Xiaoqiang raised her eyebrows, feeling that something was strange, but after thinking about it, she had no clue. She took a pen to sign and then turned over the envelope in her hand, "Did she say anything else?"
“I didn’t say anything, but I glanced into the community several times while delivering the letter,” the guard said. “If I hadn’t seen that she didn’t look like a thief, I would have detained her.”
"Are you dressed nicely? What brand is it?" Su Xiaoqiang, a shopping guru, had an occupational disease and asked casually. But the man who has been a doorman for more than ten years does not know any English, and it is really unreasonable to let people recognize the brand.
It's too difficult.
"I don't know what brand she is wearing. There is nothing written on the clothes, but the letter was taken out of her handbag. I remember that the bag was very shiny under the bright sun. There was a string of foreign characters on it, which seemed to be... panda? Yes, that should be
It means panda! Although I don't have much education, I still know the foreign language of our national treasure." What Su Xiaoqiang didn't expect was that the guard clasped his hands and thought hard for a while and actually said one, two, and three.
Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a few seconds, and the English word "Panda" flashed through his head, and then he slowly understood what English should be on the girl's bag. It was understandable that the uncle recognized it as a Panda, after all, the beginning and end and
The lengths are almost the same.
"What kind of car did she drive?" Su Xiaoqiang asked casually, guessing that the car she drove should be good. After all, ordinary cars parked at the gate of this community would have to be checked by the guard, and they could also be stuffed into the guard room.
There is no difference in the delivery of oral messages.
“I don’t recognize it, but I remember that there was one on the calendar at home. It looks beautiful, but it should often rub against the chassis. It’s not as practical as your father’s car.”
Oh, a sports car.
Su Xiaoqiang nodded without any surprise, waved his hand to the doorman as a greeting and thanked him, then turned around and walked back.
A foreign girl with a bag on her shoulder and a car in her car specially came to the front of the community to address her by name and send her a letter? It was strange, but it wasn't enough to make her reach the ultimate level. Maybe she knew about him.
Dad is not here. Is there someone at home who can temporarily let her receive letters? Otherwise, it would be too weird to receive a letter without a sending address or a receiving address, and to ask her to receive it by name.
.
If it were changed to a martial arts scene, after the letter was opened, there was a challenge letter, asking her to fight to the death somewhere on a certain day, a certain month, a certain year, and the content was to compete in knowledge of famous brand fashion... She shook
Shaking her head, which was a little polluted by a boy with a certain surname, she opened the envelope in her hand and took out the snow-white A4 letter paper inside. The sunlight shining on the paper dazzled her eyes. The girl lowered her head and squinted her eyes and took two steps forward.
Then suddenly stopped.
She was in the sunny path in the middle of the shade of trees on both sides. There was an airplane roaring overhead. The roaring sound was far away in the empty blue sky, leaving a long line of white cloud smoke in the blue sky wrapped in the shade of the trees.
, under the sunlight, the white and black characters on the paper glow with a faint golden light, which makes people a little dazzled.
“Dear Miss Su Xiaoqiang:

Get to know you.

Under the sun, Su Xiaoqiang grabbed the letter and basked in the sun for a long time. Suddenly, he grabbed the letter and ran towards the end of the trail. The black hair tied up behind his back almost seemed to fly, and he rushed towards the distant sunshine.

“Wait, what did you say, Kassel Academy?”
It was probably early in the morning when Su's father received the call. He was lying in a hotel in Europe and was suddenly awakened by his daughter's phone call. The ringtone of the phone was still very joyful, "The Princess is calling!", which shocked Su's mother to the point of almost missing her.
Some rolled under the bed.
"Didn't I ask everywhere about this college for you before and they all said that this college is no longer recruiting?" Dad Su lit up the bedside lamp and rubbed his head, a little confused, "Xiaoqiang, didn't we say that if we want to go abroad?
Should I give priority to the University of Chicago? I have established connections there.”
“Well, please speak more slowly. I didn’t ask you not to go. Haven’t you already received the admission notice? Of course you go! As long as you are happy, you can!”
"Well, it's not an admission letter? It's an interview notice? Why is Cassel College so big and my daughter needs an interview? Do you have the phone number of their principal? I'll give him a call and have a chat. He's from the University of Chicago.
The principal was very polite to me, let alone Kassel College."
"Okay, okay, I won't mess around. If you really want to go for an interview, just go for the interview. I won't stop you. Who in the family would dare to stop you, my little ancestor." Dad Su said with a bitter face, "But don't put too much pressure on me.
, I’m not saying that I don’t hope for the best for my daughter. Just in case, it’s just in case. If you fail in the interview, don’t get frustrated and lose your temper. I have already negotiated with the University of Chicago. You can nod your head and get the admission notice tomorrow.
Just send it to your home. Anyway, I know about it. Your mother and I support you. If you want to go, just go. It will be good if you can live, but it doesn’t matter!"
Under the bedside lamp, the couple sat in front of the pillows. It wasn't until the girl on the other end of the phone finished talking about everything and said good night that she hung up the phone.
“I don’t know what is so good about Kassel College that can make this girl so obsessed.” Dad Su put down his cell phone, rubbed his eyes, sighed and lay down again.
“Hey, Lao Su, I heard that if a daughter insists on going to a certain college without giving any reason, it’s probably because of a boy.” Su’s mother, who was leaning on the pillow, suddenly poked her husband’s shoulder.
"How is it possible? Who can make my Xiaoqiang miss you so much?" Dad Su hummed and found a comfortable position to sleep again, "Have you forgotten? The son of the boss of the Black Prince Group, what are the top ten?
As a young man, Shao Yifeng couldn't say a few words in front of my daughter. If you ask me, the son-in-law who can take over my responsibility in the future must be Nezha, who has three heads and six arms. He is the kind of dragon among men who can spit fire and step on wheels.
possible!"
"Just think about it, I will like whatever boys Xiaoqiang likes. It's okay if I don't have money. Our family only needs money. The main thing is that he is pleasing to the eye and has good moral character. The most important thing is to be good to Xiaoqiang."
Su's mother smiled and patted the person next to her pillow and turned on the light, "And do you really think your daughter is a visionary? She has the same virtue as me and won't let go of anything she sees."
"When you chased me, you almost skinned me. You almost had to drug me." Father Su suddenly looked at his wife beside him with emotion and fear on his face, "But what do you mean when you say Xiaoqiang looks like you?
"
“Didn’t I say before that a boy who was in the same class as Xiaoqiang in Shilan High School went to study abroad? The one that was very popular among the parents, have you forgotten?”
“Which one? Aren’t you in charge of the parent group?” Dad Su was stunned for a moment.
“Didn’t I tell you before? Now that your work has improved, you should pay more attention to your daughter’s affairs!” Su’s mother complained.
“No, dear, didn’t you just say that some boy from the student group went to study abroad? Why did you suddenly mention this?” Dad Su suddenly sat up in the dark and looked a little weird.
"That boy went abroad to study at Kassel College. Xiaoqiang seemed to have been obsessed with going to that college at that time." Su's mother said with a smile.
"" After hearing this, Dad Su suddenly became silent. He sat up slightly in the dark and silently. He was stunned for a while, then slowly lay down again, leaning on the pillow with a dull expression.
It wasn't until a long time later that Su's mother beside her seemed to have fallen asleep again. Su's father still stared at the ceiling in disbelief. He stared at it and finally cursed, "Fuck, that's it, that's it."
Which brat dares to invade my house?"
“Our cabbage made the first move.” Su’s mother said faintly in the darkness, which immediately choked Su’s father to death.
