Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Chapter 3 Mysterious Invitation Letter

Xu Minglang stared at the photo, his scorching gaze seemed to burn a hole in it, he kept this posture for a while before he came to his senses.

This is a joke...

Doesn't Xue Yingying like surprises very much, maybe this is the breakup surprise she left behind. Xu Minglang enlightened himself like this, but at the same time, he didn't care about the basic etiquette, and dialed Xue Yingying's landline at four o'clock in the morning.

The person who answered the phone was Yingying's mother: "Oh, it's Minglang. I was wondering who it was just now. I called before dawn... What's the matter?"

Xu Minglang adjusted his tone and said, "Hello, Aunt Li, I'm sorry to disturb you and Uncle Xue to have a rest...Uh, Yingying and I had a little conflict, and she said she wanted to go home and calm down. It's not that I was a little busy recently, and I forgot in a blink of an eye, Yingying was not at home last night, I was a little worried, so I called you and Uncle Xue."

There was no answer on the other side of the receiver. Xu Minglang was worried that his aunt would be angry if he said the wrong thing, so he softened his tone and said, "Aunt Li?"

"Ah, I'm listening, but I didn't hear clearly just now..."

Xu Minglang's throat suddenly tightened...

"Who is the 'Yingying' you mentioned...?"

The blood flowed backward for a moment, and Xu Minglang was sluggish on the spot like an ice sculpture, without feeling or thinking.

Aunt Li was chattering beside her ear: "Is Lang Lang in love? Is this girl named Yingying your girlfriend? Oh, let me tell you, you called me so early just to tell you about Uncle Xue and me." , We are so happy, when you go home next time, remember to bring other girls, Auntie will check for you. Hey, if it weren't for your Uncle Xue and I not having children, the house would be more lively now... "

Xu Minglang forgot how he hung up the phone in the end. The first thing he did after the call was to send WeChat messages and call his friends one by one, asking them if they knew his girlfriend Xue Yingying.

Friends replied one after another, "It's over, Xiao Xu is single and obsessed", "Are you kidding" and the like.Obviously no one knew Xue Yingying.

Xu Minglang opened the phone album without giving up, and looked through all the photos that Xue Yingying had taken in the mirror, but the result was still the same, none of which had Xue Yingying on it.

Until dawn, Xu Minglang sat at the door blankly. He couldn't even think of what he could do other than that. His mind was in chaos, and he even began to suspect that Xue Yingying's existence was just his own illusion.In a daze, he touched the pocket of his coat, where the flannel box had been warmed by his body temperature.Xu Minglang straightened up and opened the ring box, and a slender and shining diamond ring was embedded in it.

Xue Yingying is real.Xu Minglang was determined.

He returned to the room, took out a plain platinum ring of the same style from the bedside drawer, and put it on his left middle finger. At this moment, those doubts were swept away by such a simple action.Xu Minglang stood up, took a simple wash and decided to go out. As for where to go, he didn't have a clue yet, he just didn't want to stay at home anymore, he needed to get some air.

Just as Xu Minglang opened the door, he saw a white envelope at the door.

Will Yingying stay behind? !

Xu Minglang picked up the envelope and quickly opened it. Inside was a plain white hard cardboard with a row of neatly printed typefaces: "Win back the lost things."

There is a string of addresses at the signing place: "Experimental Base on Lianhu Road, North Station of the Suburbs of the City".

Lost thing?Are you referring to Xue Yingying?

How is this possible, to make a person disappear out of thin air, even disappear in other people's memory, can anyone do this?

According to Xu Minglang's usual IQ, he would never believe such a thing, let alone go to the outskirts of the city for an appointment, but the current situation is special, and he has no clue, so he turned around and went back to the house to get some more cash, and then put it in the drawer All the fruit knives in the bag were put into the slant bag.

After Xu Minglang had done all of this, he exited and carefully locked the door. Just as he turned his head, he caught a tall figure out of the corner of his eye.

Xu Minglang thought of a strange neighbor he had never met before, and took a quick look. The man was at least 1.9 meters tall, wearing a gray sweater with a little purple, and his black hair was cut in pieces. From the side, he could only see black hair. The hair covered the back of the neck, revealing a high nose bridge, and the hair on the back of the neck was twisted together with the hood, which made people look bored.

When Xu Minglang lowered his head and was about to leave, he blamed his neighbor for saying, "Hi, I live next door to you. My name is Zhou Xuerong."

The big man's voice was somewhat different from Xu Minglang's imagination.Xu Minglang is a vocal music student, so he is very sensitive to his voice. It stands to reason that Zhou Xuerong is tall and his voice should be thicker, but this person is a baritone with a thin voice, and his enunciation is clear and soft, which sounds very clear .

"What a good voice." He thought inappropriately.

Zhou Xuerong took the initiative to reach out his hand, but Xu Minglang was in a hurry, so he shook his hand and wanted to leave, but he didn't want Zhou Xuerong to use force, so he held Xu Minglang down.

Xu Minglang frowned.

He is 1.7 meters tall, which is the standard height for men, but for the first time in front of this big man with messy hair, he felt that his self-confidence as a man was hit.And the palms wrapped around him were at least two circles bigger than him, otherwise there would be no room for him to break free.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose..." Zhou Xuerong let go of his hand like lightning, and pulled the broken hair on his forehead helplessly.

This awkward posture was placed on a man who was almost two meters tall, in Xu Minglang's opinion, how strange it was, he couldn't help but take some scrutiny.

Zhou Xuerong straightened her hair, revealing her tough forehead and browbones that were more developed than those of the Han nationality. Only then did Xu Minglang see clearly the appearance of the person in front of him.

Under the fine bangs is the high-drop Asian-European appearance formed by the eyebrow arches and eye sockets, which can be called strong eyebrows.His eyebrows are raised, the creases of his double eyelids seem to be as deep as flying into the tail of his eyebrows, and his brown-gray eyeballs are sharper than ordinary people, which makes people unforgettable at a glance.It's just that such a pair of eyebrows and eyes reveal a kind of madness at this time, this madness is like a black panther in the dormant bush, staring at the prey not far away.

Xu Minglang moved his eyes away uncomfortably, and noticed that Zhou Xuerong's sharp-edged lips were a little dry and trembling slightly.

He should really go. Although the letter did not mention the time, it would take three hours to travel from the development zone in the south of the city to the suburbs in the north of the city. I don't know if it will be too late to buy the ticket now.So he nodded and left sideways.

Zhou Xuerong's voice came from behind: "I haven't asked your name yet..."

"Xu Minglang. Let's sit next to each other, the sky is so clear and bright. I have to leave first." Xu Minglang went downstairs without looking back.

In the corridor, the slanted shadows left by the old railings and the sunlight intertwined clearly. Zhou Xuerong was bathed in the sunlight on one side, and hid in the shadows on the other side. He heard Xu Minglang's footsteps getting farther and farther away from him, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, A gentle smile appeared.

***

Xu Minglang sat on the bus, thinking over and over again the ins and outs of the whole incident, but he couldn't figure out how Xue Yingying could suddenly disappear.

where is she nowWho is the person who caused all this?What to do to get her back.

None of the questions were answered.But at least Xu Minglang is clear about one thing, that is, Xue Yingying has not given up on him.He should have known earlier that Xue Yingying would never leave without saying goodbye.

"No matter who it is, no matter where you are now, I will find you and let you come back to me." Xu Minglang swore to himself.

After a tiring journey, Xu Minglang arrived in the northern suburbs of the city. As soon as he got out of the car, he found a taxi and headed to the experimental base on Lianhu Road.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, he finally arrived at the appointed place.

The experimental base in front of me seems to have been abandoned for a long time. In front of the open space stands a bronze statue, which is the shape of a girl in a skirt holding a Rubik's cube with her hands.

Xu Minglang went around and walked towards the base.

The exterior walls of the base are painted in a colorful pattern, which looks like a place for elementary school children to complete their weekend social activities.Seeing that no one was around, Xu Minglang took out a fruit knife from his bag and opened the door.

In the dark corridor, apart from waste paper everywhere, there was only the sound of Xu Minglang's footsteps. He carefully looked around, pricking up his ears to hear if there were other people around.When he passed the bulletin board, he saw the leaflets on the wall, which seemed to say the same sentence...

"Move forward."

Whether it is printed or typesetting, the flyer in front of me looks the same as the one handed out on the street, except that the content on it is not a store promotion, but these three words.

Xu Minglang glanced at the entire bulletin board, and found that all the posters or slogans on it were "move forward" for this round.

Xu Minglang felt an indescribable weirdness, so he could only hold on to the handle of the knife and walk forward.

There is a bifurcation at the corner, with the stairs on the left and a row of classrooms on the right.Xu Minglang lowered his head and picked up the waste paper on the ground, on which was written: "Go upstairs".

Xu Minglang followed the weird instructions and walked upstairs, relying on the prompts of various weird slogans along the way to the door of the activity room at the end of the second floor.

It should be here.

Xu Minglang told himself to calm down, he hid behind the door, pulled out the scabbard and put it in his pocket, took a few deep breaths, then opened the door vigorously and rushed in.

In Xu Minglang's line of sight, there was a head with its back turned to him, and he flew over with a sudden jump, locking the neck of the person in front of him tightly with his elbow joints.

"Ahhh! What are you doing?" It was a woman's scream.

Xu Minglang's ears buzzed, and he was suddenly blindsided.He looked up to see the source of the screaming, but saw a luxuriously dressed woman with her mouth open, stepping back to dodge, looking very scared of Xu Minglang.

Xu Minglang himself was still in a daze, obviously he was the victim, but he acted like he was some kind of jackal...Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his wrist.

"Ugh!" Xu Minglang yelled, and then his body flew into the air, and he hit the ground fiercely with his back down.

Xu Minglang's eyes were filled with pain, his tailbone was so painful that it was numb, and even the ceiling in front of him became blurred.

A man's deep and deep voice sounded next to his ear: "Who are you?"

"Fuck you..." Xu Minglang struggled to get up and asked, "Where's Xue Yingying?!!"

The man made a "stop" gesture and said:

"You misunderstood, I am not the person you said, but I was also invited here."

"You're lying!" Xu Minglang pounced on him, and was thrown on the blackboard again.

The man shouted: "You see clearly! Apart from me, there is another lady present here. We came here after receiving the invitation letter just like you!"

"Who are you bluffing!!"

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself!"

A familiar white cardboard appeared in front of Xu Minglang's eyes. He blinked to make sure that it was the same type as the one he had received, so he let go, as if his soul had been taken away.
