Ending Countdown(1/2)
Chapter 303: There are swallows in Beiling, and the feathers are like snow (18)
("Madam, Your Excellency...this is a letter from Mr. Bai from the United States.")
Bai Yan!
Both Gu Mingxi and Long Pei were stunned. She quickly broke away from Long Pei, pulled down her skirt, buttoned it, and hurried to the door.
His steps were obviously panicked and unsteady.
She opened the door and saw Ru Bing at the door. Her eyes fell directly on the envelope in her hand. The vigorous and powerful fonts were in Bai Yan. She could confirm at a glance that there was nothing wrong.
Gu Mingxi snatched the letter from her hand, with mixed feelings in her heart, and the confusion in her charming eyes was gradually replaced by a thin layer of frost.
Rubing bowed and left.
Gu Mingxi closed the door, held the letter and leaned against the door panel, the knuckles holding the envelope turned tragically white.
Long Pei had already turned his back to them and arranged his clothes. He took a deep breath to calm down and suppressed the impulse. He turned around and saw Gu Mingxi's pale face. He felt heartbroken when he thought of Bai Yan.
He walked over and pulled her to sit on the sofa: "Look, I'm here to accompany you!"
"This was sent to me from the United States by Bai Yan before he died." Gu Mingxi's eyes became dry when he saw the blue postmark time on it. Every time he thought of Bai Yan, he couldn't help but feel sad.
He was still so young and could have had a better future.
Long Pei's cold hands covered hers and said in a low voice: "Ming Xi!"
Gu Mingxi took a deep breath, restrained the trembling in her heart, and turned her head to give him a reassuring look: "I'm fine!"
The light in Long Pei's eyes was gentle and doting.
The slender fingers trembled and tore open the envelope, revealing a Christmas greeting card with red balloons and socks hanging on the green Christmas tree. When I opened the card, I saw a long-lost font printed on it.
Gu Mingxi held his breath and read almost word by word in his mind. As he went down, his face became more and more gloomy and complicated. His eyelashes as thin as cicada wings trembled slightly, casting a blue shadow, and the haze became thicker.
Long Pei clearly felt her emotional changes. At first she was just sad, but now...
"What's wrong?" He looked worried, and her look made him uneasy.
"...A Pei." Gu Mingxi's trembling voice paused, her eyes looked at him, and the water flowed: "Why do I just not believe that Bai Yan committed suicide!"
Long Pei's expression darkened and he quickly took the greeting card in her hand.
Mingxi:
There was a heavy snowfall in New York yesterday. I was sitting alone on a park bench looking at the pure smiles of the children. Suddenly I thought of you and what you asked me: "I have not yet announced your return, but I look forward to your arrival every day."
"
It's not that I don't want to call you back, it's just that I feel anxious every time I pick up the phone. I have sworn never to return to my country in this life. I recall that we drank to say goodbye, and I miss the old times even more. I regret that I didn't cherish them at that time.
The human world is miserable, I have the heart to struggle against the shackles, but I am unable to do so. I can only entrust all the sins and misplaced love to time to take good care of me. When one day I completely let go, I will reunite with you, drink and talk, and complete this unrelated wind and snow just for
True friendship.
Your Excellency is introverted and taciturn, but his feelings for you are absolutely true. Even if everything was wrong in the past, you are just a fan of his authorities. It is a miracle to meet someone who has the same mind as you. I hope you can
Cherish it, and even though I am far away, I will pray to God for you and bless you with happiness and peace for the rest of your life!
Baiyan
December 26th.
After reading this passage, Long Pei's face gradually became gloomy, and there was a chill between his brows...
Gu Mingxi looked at him and said in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Baiyan believes in Christ." And Christians are absolutely not allowed to commit suicide.
"I will ask Ye Jia to check again!" The deep voice was extremely solemn. If Bai Yan really believed in Christ, then no matter how severe his depression was, he would never suddenly return to China and commit suicide.
All of this is weird!
Gu Mingxi took the greeting card and held it tightly in her palm. Thinking that Bai Yan's death might be murder, she couldn't control her emotions. If she found the murderer, she would make that person pay with blood!
"I want to go to America!"
The room was silent for a long time, then she suddenly spoke, Qingyue's voice was firm, and she looked at the man beside her.
Long Pei narrowed his eyes and did not object to her decision: "Okay, I'll let people prepare and let Xiao Qi accompany you." Ye Jia was going to investigate Bai Yan's death, and Nan Si couldn't let Nan Si know that there was something else behind Bai Yan's death.
Hidden secrets, he can only let Xiao Qi accompany her, so that he can feel at ease.
Gu Mingxi nodded in agreement with his arrangement, leaned against his chest, and lowered her eyes to cover the coldness in her eyes: "Apei, I'm suddenly a little scared."
They investigated so thoroughly at first and confirmed that Bai Yan committed suicide, but now this greeting card gave them a new perspective on Bai Yan's death. If everything is true, then the person who killed Bai Yan was not only vicious, but also hidden.
Very deep!
Long Pei hugged her and kissed her gently on the forehead: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will be there."
Gu Mingxi didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes, holding the hand holding the greeting card, and the blue meridians were looming...
******************Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes***************
Early the next morning, Long Pei sent Gu Mingxi to the airport, explaining to the two children that she was going to visit a friend. Long Ziqi had no doubts, but Long Lifei's cold eyes flashed with inquiry and suspicion!
The temperature has warmed up. Gu Mingxi is wearing gray clothes, with a light purple windbreaker open outside. The belt is casually tied with a bow at the back, and her long hair is scattered on her back like water.
"Take care of yourself and come back soon." He asked softly before getting on the plane.
Gu Mingxi nodded, looking at him with watery eyes, full of gratitude: "You should also take care of yourself, and... thank you, Apei!"
It was not easy for him to allow himself to go to the United States, because he understood the importance of Bai Yan in his heart, and he would not be at ease letting others go. She had to find out Bai Yan's death herself.
A smile overflowed from his thin lips. He held her hand and saw the flickering silver light. His voice was low and hoarse: "You are already mine, why should you be worried! What's more... Bai Yan is also my friend.
!”
These people have passed away, and the living people always have to do something to comfort the souls of the dead.
Ming Xi usually had nothing else to do except accompany Yan'er. She had been blaming herself in her heart for not being able to help Bai Yan out. Now asking her to personally investigate Bai Yan's death might make her feel better.
He has also made arrangements in the United States. Someone will pick her up when she gets off the plane and protect her secretly. Xiaoqi can be with her 24 hours a day, so he basically has nothing to worry about.
"be safe."
"Okay." Gu Mingxi nodded. Lin Qi had already changed her boarding pass. She was holding the boarding pass in one hand and gnawing on the crispy cucumber in the other: "Brother Pei, don't worry, I will definitely not
Let sister Mingxi have trouble, let alone let the pervert get close to sister Mingxi."
Long Pei saw the ghostly Lin Qi who was always eating, and a smile appeared on his eyebrows: "I'll leave it all to you, and you'll be rewarded when you come back!"
"Really?" Lin Qi's eyes seemed to be filled with all kinds of food. She happily threw herself into Long Pei's arms and hugged him: "I know that Brother Pei is the best. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task well."
.”
Long Pei had always disliked contact with the opposite sex. He was suddenly hugged by Lin Qi and instinctively wanted to push him away. As a result, Xiao Qi stuck to him like an octopus and couldn't shake him off. He looked at Gu Mingxi helplessly...
Gu Mingxi watched Lin Qi's cute little head rubbing against Long Pei's chest, not feeling jealous at all.
Because she knew that Xiao Qi just wanted to rub cucumber juice on Long Pei's clothes.
Gu Mingxi and Lin Qi boarded the plane smoothly. Long Pei waited until the plane took off before he came to his senses. He looked down and saw a green patch on his white shirt and a bulging vein on his forehead!
Lin! Xiao! Qi!
****
The temperature in New York is lower than that in country C, and you can feel the cold current coming as soon as you get off the plane. Long Pei arranged for someone to pick them up at the airport exit. They first went to the hotel to put their luggage, take a shower, and rest for a while. After that, she called and made an appointment.
Bai Zixuan.
When Bai Zixuan gave up work and came to the hotel to find her, Gu Mingxi happened to have a meal and saw her smiling gently: "Hello, we meet again."
Bai Zixuan was led in by her, and when she saw the girl sitting on the sofa eating a banana, she looked at Gu Mingxi who was closing the door: "You said you came to me about something about Ayan, what's the matter?"
"Sit down first." Gu Mingxi went to pour her a glass of warm water and put it in front of her, then sat down next to Xiao Qi: "Do you know that Bai Yan is a Christian?"
Bai Zixuan was startled and shook his head: "I don't know." Yin Luo suddenly thought of something and immediately added: "But when I was cleaning his room before, I seemed to have seen a leaflet about the church. But is this important?
"
Gu Mingxi took out the greeting card Bai Yan sent to her from her windbreaker pocket and pushed it in front of her: "This is the card Bai Yan sent me after Christmas. I just received it."
Bai Zixuan looked even more confused. She didn't know how important this was. She opened the greeting card and read what her brother had written, with a solemn look on her face: "Ayan never told me that he is a Christian!"
Christians are never allowed to commit suicide.
"I suspect there is a hidden reason for Bai Yan's death. I want to find out the truth! But I don't want to alarm your parents and make them experience grief again. I can only find you. I hope you can help me!" Gu Mingxi said, with cold eyes.
There was a hint of pleading in it.
Bai Zixuan held Bai Yan's greeting card, her eyes gradually turned red, probably thinking of poor Bai Yan again, and her heart ached. After a long silence, she suppressed the grief in her heart and nodded: "I also want to know what happened, what's the matter?
If I can help you, just ask!"
"I want to find the church Ayan went to and see his psychiatrist." Gu Mingxi got straight to the point and didn't want to waste time!
Bai Zixuan nodded: "I know the location of the church and the psychiatrist he is looking for! I can help you make an appointment with her."
"Thanks!"
"I should be the one thanking you!" Bai Zixuan pursed her lips, her expression filled with melancholy.
Bai Zixuan drove them to the church, and Xiao Qi was willing to do anything as long as she had something to eat. Along the way, she either ate fruit or played games on her mobile phone. She didn't care at all about what Mingxi wanted to investigate about Bai Yan's death!
