Take It Easy

Chapter 88 – Search

Xiaojiu, as long as you come back, I will never go to the southwest again, I swear on my mother!

To Mu Qinglin, waiting for a day when she can’t do anything is longer and harder than living a day. She has to schedule her work so that there is no extra time in order to live that day normally.

But even so, she still woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and then woke up looking at the empty side until dawn.

In just three days, Mu Qinglin lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye.

Those who should know have already known about Zhou Yi’s disappearance.

Everyone is comforting Mu Qinglin, “Don’t worry, Xiao Jiu is just self-willed, and she will come back when her anger subsides.” Only she knows that Zhou Yi is not someone who treats feelings and people’s hearts as playthings, and she can’t get through some results Zhou Yi should have reached a conclusion at the moment of the phone call, maybe even earlier.

But she racked her brains and couldn’t figure it out, it was just a quarrel, the worst thing was to break up, and it was necessary to disappear without a word?

still is…

“Xiao, for a person to suddenly disappear, is there another possibility besides hiding herself?” Mu Qinglin asked Fu Xiao who was next to her.

Fu Xiao paused as he tapped the keyboard, and immediately understood Mu Qinglin’s meaning—Zhou Yi encountered an unpredictable danger.

She was silent for a moment, patted Mu Qinglin on the shoulder, and said, “Don’t think about it, Zhou Yi is an adult and knows how to protect himself.”

“Then why didn’t she contact me? It’s been three days, no matter how angry she is, it should be gone.”

“It’s so fast. It’s the first time you’re in a relationship. You don’t understand. Take my boyfriend and I quarreling as an example. If it’s as short as a week, no one cares about each other. If it’s longer, it’s up to a month. It’s still two fast threes.” Ten people, Zhou Yi is only so young, it’s normal to make a lot of noise.”

Mu Qinglin still said the same thing, “She won’t treat me like this, and age can’t determine a person’s character.”

Even if it can, Zhou Yi must be the good one.

Mu Qinglin can be 100% sure of this point just because she has gone through so many things and can still remain kind.

Fu Xiao still wants to speak.

In fact, she knew in her heart that Zhou Yi would not use such a hurtful way to quarrel with Mu Qinglin, but other than that, she couldn’t think of a better excuse to explain.

“Xiaohui’s phone.” Fu Xiao said with his chin pointing to the lighted up cell phone on the table.

During the meeting just now, Mu Qinglin turned the phone to silent, but she still hasn’t turned it back.

Mu Qinglin waited for this call for too long, when he suddenly received a response, his mind went blank for a moment, and after realizing it, he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone to answer, “Hello, Xiaohui.”

Fu Hui said: “Sister, the result is out, is it convenient to come over now?”

“It’s convenient…” Mu Qinglin grabbed the car keys and left. On the way, she called Tang Yuanzhou, who was also anxiously waiting, and the two came to the Liulu Police Station together.

“Xiaohui, where is she?” Mu Qinglin spoke quickly.

Fu Hui looked a little embarrassed, “I haven’t found it yet.”

Mu Qing came in a hurry, with a little sweat on her forehead, and was blown by the low temperature air conditioner in the room, her face was a little pale, “Is there any clue?” She asked.

Fu Hui nodded, “Come with me.”

“Zhou Yi left the school at 9:23 in the morning and took an online car with the tail number Jiang A83U1L to Hongmen Lane. Mr. Tang should know here that she went to Hongmen Lane to find you in Buddha Demon.” Fu Hui looked at Tang Yuanzhou and said.

Tang Yuanzhou said: “Yes, Xiao Jiu only stayed in Buddha Demon for less than five minutes, and left without saying anything.”

“Well…” Fu Hui continued to play the PPT, “Leaving Buddha and Demon, Zhou Yi took a taxi directly to the high-speed rail station and bought a ticket to go back to his hometown. At two o’clock in the afternoon, the high-speed rail arrived at the station, Zhou Yi took a taxi to the cemetery and stayed until Close the door before coming out, and then walk all the way west, out of the monitoring area, and you won’t be able to find it.”

It turned out that I was so angry that I went back to my hometown, and it was good that I was fine.

Mu Qinglin let go of her heart a little bit. She looked at the blurred face in the PPT and remained silent for a few seconds. After a while, she suddenly said, “This is not the cemetery where Xiaojiu’s parents are buried.”

Fu Hui, “Yes, Zhou Yi’s friend Dai Lin and her father Dai Yong are buried here. She is here to see Dai Lin.”

Look at Dai Lin? !

Mu Qinglin was surprised.

During the Chinese New Year, when she accompanied Zhou Yi back to visit her parents, she once asked her if she would like to say hello to Dai Lin by the way. She said she didn’t want to go, and the reason was that even if Dai Lin chose not to care about it in the end, their relationship was still antagonistic, because she Never think that your parents are at fault.

Then why does it suddenly pass now?

Girls who have been wronged in love are more inclined to talk to their peers. Because they will stand on the united front with her and complain, and the parents are more often reconciling?

Mu Qinglin didn’t want to waste time guessing, so she got up quickly and said, “I’ll go find her.”

“Sister!” Fu Hui hastily called to stop Mu Qinglin, with a troubled expression on his face again, “We have been contacting there for two days to help you find it, and there is nothing.”

Mu Qinglin turned her head abruptly, but it took her a long time to speak again, “What do you mean no?”

Fu Hui said: “Zhou Yi hasn’t appeared since he disappeared from the monitoring outside the cemetery. We have also checked all the exits of expressways, airports, ports and train stations, and there is nothing.”

“Then she must still be in the city.” Mu Qinglin said firmly.

Fu Hui still shook his head, “At least there are no more clues for now.”

It means that a big living person just disappeared out of thin air?

Mu Qinglin felt it was absurd, and he said with anger in his voice, “She hid there from me, I will go find it myself!”

After saying that, Mu Qing left the meeting room without looking back.

Fu Hui couldn’t stop it.

After Tang Yuanzhou hurriedly thanked Fu Hui, he followed quickly and said, “Mu Qinglin, don’t be impulsive, we have to trust the police.”

Mu Qinglin wanted to believe it, but she couldn’t wait, “None of you know what she’s been through, I know, but I didn’t take her fear seriously, and only going my own way will scare her away. I have to go find her.”

“How can you find such a big place by yourself?!”

“Go where she might go. If you can’t find it, just keep looking in one direction.”

“You’re looking for a needle in a haystack!”

“Maybe, but I have the bargaining chip in my hand to attract her to appear proactively.”

Tang Yuanzhou was taken aback, and asked her, “What bargaining chip?”

“I am.” Mu Qinglin looked at Tang Yuanzhou, and said word by word: “I bet she really loves me, and she is not willing to abandon me just because I made a mistake once.”

Mu Qinglin came to the family courtyard of the newspaper office that evening.

Uncle Liu happened to be on duty at the guard box.

Seeing Mu Qing approaching, Uncle Liu immediately leaned out excitedly and looked behind her, “Where’s Xiao Jiu?”

Holding the car keys, Mu Qinglin said in a low voice, “She’s not with me.”

“Huh? What’s the matter, what happened after a fight?” Uncle Liu said to the point.

Mu Qinglin had nothing to hide, “I didn’t take her concerns to heart, and she ran back in anger.”

Uncle Liu hissed, and recalled, “Xiao Jiu has never been back to the family home. Didn’t I tell you during the Chinese New Year that the old house has been sold, and she has no place to stay in this place.”

Yes, Uncle Liu said this long ago.

At that time, Xiao Jiu told Uncle Liu that she would just pass by here in the future, saying that her family had a spare room for her to live in, and she also firmly promised to be responsible for her future.

It didn’t take long before she lost her popularity.

Mu Qinglin stood stiffly, his mind was full of the way Zhou Yi and Uncle Liu said those words, tilting his head and looking at him.

Her eyes are so bright, and when she smiles, her pupils are full of love for her.

…

At the moment when the wild bird suddenly rushed out from the luxuriant leaves, Mu Qinglin gritted his teeth and felt a chill in his chest.

Starting from the evening of this day, every time Mu Qinglin went to a place, he would take a photo and send it to Zhou Yi’s WeChat, telling her to come here to see her if she was not angry.

She didn’t know how many places she had been to, how many photos she had sent, but she only remembered that the process from being determined to hesitating, and finally only left with blank eyes was like being sober from anesthesia.

She could no longer feel the pain, but she could clearly recall every cut left by the skin and flesh.

The difference is that after the operation, the doctor will suture the patient’s wound, but she didn’t, it was just so open, ugly and bloody.

She had to admit that in the vast crowd, she really lost Zhou Yi.

—

On the fifth day, Mu Qinglin’s annual leave was exhausted.

In five days, she turned the city upside down with her own strength, but in the end she returned without success. That kind of powerlessness was no different from watching Shang Ning be killed three years ago.

Only this time it was not so earth-shattering, on the contrary, its silence often made her forget where she was and what she was doing.

Going around the garage again and again, I finally found the elevator entrance. When I got home, Fu Xiao had been waiting with Mu Zipei for a long time.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mu Zipei, who hadn’t closed his eyes for several days and was pinned down by Fu Xiao on his lap for less than ten minutes, immediately sat up and ran towards the door.

Seeing that her sister, who was always neatly dressed and capable, couldn’t even straighten her waist, Mu Zipei’s tears rolled down her face.

“Sister…” She was standing next to Mu Qinglin, but she didn’t dare to move her.

She looked too tired. When she turned her head and smiled at her, because her lips were too dry, a cut was opened, and blood burst out of the cut instantly, dripping down her chin onto her clothes.

Mu Qinglin wiped it casually with the back of her hand, patted Mu Zipei’s head with a smile and said, “Go and buy something for my sister. My sister hasn’t eaten since morning.”

When Mu Zipei heard this, tears fell even more fiercely. She had a lot to say and ask, but in the end she just nodded, opened the door and ran out.

Mu Qinglin stood in the entrance for a while, when he raised his head and was about to walk in, he caught sight of Fu Xiao who was standing against the light.

Her gaze was heavy.

“Didn’t find it?” Fu Xiao asked.

Mu Qinglin pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile. Instead of speaking immediately, she straightened her waist, walked into the living room step by step, lay down on the sofa, covered her eyes with the back of her hand, and let the light that could make her emotions invisible All blocked in the darkness, I spoke slowly, “I searched all the places I could find, but no one has seen her. Xiao, I have a hunch that she will not come back, just like leaving her hometown back then , from here, she will not come back.”

“You…” Fu Xiao sighed hesitantly, and said, “What are you going to do?”

Mu Qinglin, “I don’t know, I’ve tried everything I can. I’m not a god, and I don’t have omnipotent abilities.”

Fu Xiao was also powerless.

Silence pulls the fog with no end and support.

“Xiao…” After calling Fu Xiao, Mu Qinglin suddenly opened his mouth and forgot what to say. After a long silence, he finally thought of what he wanted to say, “Do you think she really likes me?”

After Mu Qinglin said this, she laughed to herself first, “She doesn’t know how to act, so the love she expressed for me must be true. But since she likes me so much, why did she leave me so easily, leave here?

Obviously not long ago, she said that she would find a solid job in the future that would not worry about food and drink, so that I can pursue what I want without any worries. She also said that she likes my dad and the atmosphere of my house…”

“I used to think that in this life, I could just draw a star in the sky and call him Dad.”

“This afternoon, I was still thinking in my heart that the world my sister brought me to is a bit too good. I started to like it before I fully entered it. Now…”

“Although I have only stepped in with one foot, I have already decided to rely on this foot to take root and sprout inside. Even if someone chases me with a broom, I will stay put and stay there.”

Zhou Yi’s words pierced through his mind, and Mu Qinglin slowly clenched his hands over his eyes, “Xiao, how wrong I was that I made her leave like this without wanting anything?”

Fu Xiao didn’t know, even though she was watching with her own eyes how the cut on Mu Qinglin’s lips leaked blood little by little, she still didn’t believe that Zhou Yi was such a cruel person.

Mu Qinglin didn’t want to believe it even more, she sat up on the sofa, stared at the mobile phone that was left on the coffee table, and did not move for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a falling sound from the phone.

The system prompts that the battery is low, and the last prompt will soon run out of power.

This sound slammed into Mu Qinglin’s heart, overturning her rationality. She opened WeChat and quickly typed on the keyboard: [Xiao Jiu, as long as you come back, I will never go to Southwest again. My mom swears by it! 】

This is Mu Qinglin’s bottom line, she doesn’t want it anymore, I just hope that Zhou Yi will feel at ease when he sees it, and if he doesn’t get angry, he is willing to talk to her.

But this reply, she waited for five years but still did not get it.
