Chapter 116
Ji Yu collected the phone, only to realize that the sky was a bit overcast, the air carrying humidity and signs of rain.
Pedestrians were in a hurry, all trying to hurry at a fast pace in case they got wet from the rain later.
As if in the blink of an eye, it was entering the cold winter, as soon as she stood up she sucked in a breath of cool air, the wind poured into her neck, freezing and making her shiver.
Ji Yu shrunk her neck and turned her cell phone off and threw it into her book bag, she didn’t know what she was going to do this time, the only thought in her head was that she wanted to be alone for a while.
Since Ji Zhao left, she had gotten used to digesting everything alone, letting time dissolve all conflicts.
Time healed everything.
As long as she was given time, she would be able to figure it all out.
Just like Ji Zhao left this matter, now she has completely accepted the fact that he is not there.
However, at that time, she really hated Ruan Xing Chen ah!
Hated why she happened to be standing under the stone slab, hated, why it was her father who died and not someone else.
Later, after the online public opinion came out, she hated her even more.
Now at first hearing Ruan Xing Chen say that she had returned her dad’s innocence, she didn’t know whether she should cry or laugh.
She should be laughing, right?
After all, dad should rest in peace, right?
Dad had volunteered to save the life of others, and probably in that moment, he had thought that his life might end because of this, but he still went to save it.
However, why is it still hard in her heart?
Ji Yu hung his head down, walking aimlessly, the howling wind caught in the thin rain, falling onto his head, face, clothes.
It was cold.
She hesitated, wanting to find a shelter, but her feet did not stop, still blindly walking forward.
When she was little, Ji Yu was quite naughty, and liked to run out to play in the water when it was drizzling, and when Ji Zhao saw her, he would inevitably give her a nagging speech, and then take a towel and wipe her hair, and then inexorably dress her in her favorite little raincoat and little rain boots.
Only after she was dressed did he gently pat her head and say, “Xiao Yu, don’t get wet, you’ll catch a cold.”
She couldn’t help but look around, trying to find that familiar figure in the crowd.
However, there was none.
There was no Ji Zhao.
Even more so, there was no sound of his voice.
There was only the sound of wind and rain in her ears.
A series of bicycle bells rang behind her, and in the next moment, the bicycle brushed past her.
Ji Yu felt like she was pulled back to earth for a second.
She raised her head to look into the distance.
So it turns out that she doesn’t have a father anymore.
No matter if she was good or not, no matter if she made a mess or not, even if she knew better and would never tread water in the rain again, dad would never come back.
Ji Yu’s face was covered with water, she didn’t know if it was rain or her tears, she only felt that her eyes were sore as hell.
Without realizing it, she came to a building that was a gathering place for classes in various subjects.
She stood on the steps and watched the passers-by come out of the building in twos and threes, some of them were dads holding their daughters’ hands, who were jumping around and gesticulating with their dads about what interesting things they had learned in the party.
Some are mothers and fathers coming together, with the father holding the child and the mother following behind with her backpack, a happy smile on her face.
Then there was a group of small children, followed by a few adults, who were discussing whether it would be better to have pizza or fondue later.
I don’t know how long I watched, until no one came out of the building, the rain hadn’t stopped, and a layer of grayish, hazy mist hung in the distance, and she seemed to be the only one left between heaven and earth.
Some people ran to the mountains, others to the sea, all good scenery.
They walk firmly, because they all have a warm shelter behind them, that shelter, called home.
Only she, the home has been scattered.
Chi Yu gaze fell on a hot pot city not far away, the signboard a few red chili brightly, as if to tell the pedestrians on the road, they are spicy enough, spicy enough, come to taste.
Wait, hot pot ……
Ji Yu suddenly came back to her senses, she and Ling Yuan had an appointment to go eat hot pot, and he said he would be there in twenty minutes.
What time was it now?
Is Ling Yuan still waiting for her?
Just now, because she had been thinking about her dad, she had actually forgotten all about it.
Taking out her cell phone from her school bag, she turned it on and saw the time displayed on it, an hour had passed since the agreed time.
Immediately after, the phone kept vibrating, there were missed calls, messages, and WeChat, dozens of records kept pouring in.
All of them were from Ling Yuan.
Ji Yu’s nose soured, her eyes reddened, and water vapor spread up, instantly blurring the entire screen.
She moved her frozen fingers, opened her address book and was about to call back, when her cell phone vibrated, it was Ling Yuan who was calling.
Ji Yu’s hands messily pressed answer, but because of the stiffness of her fingers did not grasp the phone, the phone “snapped” fell to the ground, and at the same time, Ling Yuan’s voice sounded heavy, very urgent, “Ji Xiaoyu, where are you?”
The voice was cold, colder than today’s cold wind, from the time she met him until now, Ji Yu had never heard him speak to her in such an icy tone.
Her voice seemed to be blocked by something, all of a sudden, she suddenly lost her voice, she opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say anything.
Not hearing an echo, Ling Yuan’s voice sounded again, this time the voice was gentle, with helplessness and worry, and heavy breathing, as if she was running, “Chi Xiaoyu, speak, where are you? Are you okay?”
Ling Yuan looking for her are looking for crazy, he said twenty minutes to twenty minutes to, the result went to the library door to see no one, the square turned around also did not see people.
The phone is turned off, WeChat, messages are not returned.
Like a missing person.
Inevitably, Ling Yuan’s mind flashed through a lot of images, especially those horrific images of trafficking in women and children, she is a little girl, so beautiful, is the favorite target of those traffickers. He was really afraid that something might have happened to her because of the sudden wind and rain.
He called Yan Qimai, who said they had been separated for a long time.
He continued to call her phone, or off, he had to go to find someone to help retrieve this side of the plaza’s surveillance.
The square is invested by his father, it is quite easy to adjust the surveillance.
In the surveillance he saw Ji Yu squatting in the corner to answer the phone, seemed to be crying, wiping his eyes vigorously.
It’s good that she wasn’t kidnapped.
He took his cell phone and searched all the way along the route she took, and just walked out of the square, tried to call her phone again, and suddenly he got through.
Surprise at the same time, he was trying to be a little fierce, let her grow a long time, the result of the phone through the other side but did not say a word, would not be able to give up to scold her, this scared him to the heart to stop, worried about her is not too late, where can remember to fierce her?
Ji Yu wiped away the tears on his face, squatted down and picked up the phone and put it in his ear, “I’m sorry.”
Her voice is noisy, soft and full of guilt, “Senior, I’m sorry.”
As soon as she opened her mouth Ling Yuan could hear that Ji Yu had indeed cried, her voice was hoarse beyond words.
He was heartbroken, at the same time, the boulder that was weighing on his heart suddenly fell to the ground, he softened his tone, like coaxing a child, “Don’t be afraid, Ji Little Fish, I didn’t blame you. Now you first look at which position you’re standing in.”
“I’m in ……,” she looked around, “On this side of the Education and Training Building.”
Ling Yuan said softly, “I know, just stand there and don’t move, I’ll be right there.”
