In fact, Bai Li has finished the arrangement a long time ago. Recently, she is practicing singing by herself in a friend's studio. Every time she asks Tang Xiaobao to accompany her, it is just a little selfish thing on her part.
In name, Tang Xiaobao was asked to accompany him, but he could have used an accompaniment.
Of course, her reasons are still very good.
Tang Xiaobao's accompaniment can arouse her enthusiasm for singing.
Unfortunately, Tang Xiaobao asked for leave again.
She simply didn't practice singing today.
After sleeping lazily until nine o'clock in the morning, Bai Li got up, washed herself, made herself some breakfast, and after eating, she cleaned up the house again.
Suddenly, she had nothing to do.
Looking at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and suddenly I remembered that I hadn't called Chen Huimin for several days, and I didn't know how the latter's song practice was going.
She was about to call Chen Huimin and arrange to go out for a meal.
As a result, before the number was pulled out, Chen Huimin actually sent a text message.
The content is very simple, just one sentence.
"Xiao Li, I'm sorry, I can't come to the concert."
Gone.
Betty was dumbfounded immediately.
Hey, this concert will start in half a month. Is it okay if you can’t come?
The key is, why.
She was a little confused.
But soon, she became a little anxious.
She knows her friend Chen Huimin very well.
Whenever she agrees to something, Chen Huimin will never break the promise. This is her, a very principled person.
This is true for ordinary people, not to mention that Bai Li is her only good friend. The two have known each other for many years, so it makes no sense at all.
No, something must have happened to her.
Not wanting to be angry with Chen Huimin anymore, Bai Li called immediately.
The call went through, but no one answered.
After half a ring, it automatically hung up.
When I called again, the phone was turned off.
No more calls?
How outrageous!
Bai Li cursed angrily, but when she thought about it, she became even more anxious.
Normally, this would never happen.
They are good friends.
That can only mean that Chen Huimin must be in trouble.
Betty still cares about this friend, otherwise she wouldn't always want to help her.
But now the phone can't get through, and there's nothing she can do.
"No, I have to go see what happened to her."
After muttering to herself, Bai Li immediately picked up her bag and went out.
But when she got in the car, she realized that she didn't know where Chen Huimin lived.
She frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered that Chen Huimin seemed to have a cousin in Yanjing who seemed to work in a certain company. She had met her last time.
No matter what, today she would find Chen Huimin no matter what and find out what happened.
I drove to Chen Huimin's cousin's company, and after asking, I found out that Chen Huimin's cousin was actually on a business trip.
Everything is not going well.
Fortunately, I can make a phone call.
Fortunately, Chen Huimin's cousin actually knew the address.
Within a minute of hanging up the phone, an address was sent to me.
Navigation, driving.
After driving for a full hour, we reached the outskirts of the city and found a very old community.
After looking at the environment of the community, Bai Li frowned.
These houses were built in the 1990s. After more than 20 years, they have become particularly dilapidated and mottled. You can see migrant workers coming in and out on bicycles, and some carrying dust bags.
There are construction workers holding buckets, clothes hanging everywhere on the balcony outside the building, and garbage in the community can be seen everywhere.
The more she looked, the more frightened she became, and Bai Li suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
It was beyond her expectation that Chen Huimin actually lived in such a place.
That's right, Chen Huimin's popularity is not as good as before. She just got divorced and moved out of the house.
But no matter how poor you are, you won't come to live in a place like this.
Obviously, Chen Huimin rented here.
How difficult this must be!
Thinking about it made her feel sad.
Bai Li is very kind-hearted and sincere to her friends, but she feels that she doesn't care enough for her friends.
If I could have insisted on sending Chen Huimin back last time, I would have known her current situation earlier.
Alas, no wonder she is always late.
The traffic jam in Yanjing is known to be serious all over the world. It's so far away, and it's hard to be late if you have to send your children to school.
The car was driving slowly in the community, and Bai Li felt particularly depressed.
Finally, she parked the car under a certain building.
Wearing sunglasses, she went upstairs.
The buildings here are all around eight floors, but there is no elevator.
And Chen Huimin actually lived on the eighth floor. This trip upstairs made her very tired.
Knock on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
Chen Huimin's tired voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Bai Li said urgently: "Huimin, it's me, open the door quickly."
There was no movement inside.
It didn't open the door either.
Betty continued to knock on the door.
But for a long time, there was still no movement.
This made her very angry.
She pounded hard: "Chen Huimin, open the door for me. If you don't open the door, I'm going to break it down."
I don’t know if this sentence worked, but after a while, the door opened.
Chen Huimin stood at the door with a tired look on her face, and asked with a complicated face: "Xiao Li, why are you here?"
She blocked the door, not ready to let Bai Li in. Her face was red, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was a little hoarse.
Bai Li frowned and rushed in directly.
Then, she was dumbfounded.
This is a house with two bedrooms and one living room, but it is really simple. The walls are in disgraceful condition, but they were all papered up by the owner.
A broken sofa, an old wooden coffee table, and a dining table picked up from somewhere, this is everything that can be seen in the living room.
On the coffee table, there are some medicines and a few medical certificates.
Bai Li felt even sadder.
While she was looking around, Chen Huimin came over and hurriedly collected the things on the coffee table.
But Bai Li had sharp eyes and took the medical certificates in her hands.
Chen Huimin wanted to come over and grab her, but Bai Li quickly backed away and at the same time glanced at the medical certificate.
Her body trembled and her expression changed drastically.
Chen Huimin had already snatched the medical certificate and was packing the medicines on the coffee table with a nervous and embarrassed look on her face.
"When did it happen?"
Bai Li's face turned pale.
Throat cancer.
No wonder I can't attend the concert.
No wonder she keeps having problems with her high notes lately.
I thought she really had a cold and that she didn't get enough rest.
So that’s it!
Chen Huimin pretended to be confused: "What did you say? I don't understand."
"I asked, when did you get sick?" Bai Li bit her lip to prevent herself from crying.
She pulled Chen Huimin over to sit down and said angrily: "Why? Why didn't you tell me earlier that we are no longer friends? You are in such a difficult situation and you don't even let me help you. Who do you think I am?"
"
Facing her questioning, Chen Huimin was moved but extremely bitter.
She couldn't say anything, but tears flowed down in strings.
