"Assistant Du, may I ask... Is Mr. Ming in the office?"

"No, it's... half an hour before his working time."

On the other end of the phone, a colleague's voice greeted Assistant Du, "Don't worry, Mr. Ming was always punctual at work when he was in City D, not to mention we have a party tonight."

"That's it." Getting the promise again didn't smoothen Yu Xing's brows, Assistant Du continued with a smile: "I will report last month's income and expenditure to Mr. Ming in half an hour, see you in the office."

"kindness."

However, half an hour later, Assistant Du also panicked.

Gong Ran didn't come back at all, the phone was turned off, and there was no news at all.

The rain was still falling outside the window, but compared to last night, the momentum was much weaker. Under the comfort of Assistant Du, Yu Xing reluctantly sat for 15 minutes longer, and this 15 minutes was also the last "time limit" he gave Gong Ran.

Nine fifty-five.

The missing person still didn't show up, Yu Xing looked at the continuous rain outside the window, and finally blew up, "Yesterday...he left when I went downstairs to pick up coffee, can we check the company video?"

"Mr. Ming has made arrangements before, and we have no right to interfere with these two days every year, so..."

"But now he lost it!"

"Sorry, I'm a little anxious." Yu Xing's voice was sharp, involving Gong Ran, he was concerned, and immediately apologized for his gaffe.

He was indeed too anxious to lose his temper with Assistant Du, but the latter didn't mean to blame him, "It's okay, I just hope you understand that as subordinates, we really have no right to interfere with the private life of our boss."

Assistant Du's words are correct. In the past, Yu Xing would not have cared about his boss Zhan Qingwu's private life. Even if he didn't show up at the company for a week, it was none of his business.

Missing or something, the only ones who really care and worry are the family members, right?

But Gong Ran's stepmother had passed away a long time ago, and she didn't have much contact with her father.

Perhaps... the lack of care from his family was also one of the reasons why he couldn't extricate himself from that accident.

From yesterday morning to now, it has been 24 hours since Gong Ran lost contact, which is enough time for the police to file a case.

Yu Xing asked Assistant Todou to start looking for someone, contact him as soon as he had news, and took the car keys to the parking lot. He wanted to go home and check again.

However, the house was still empty, and there was no trace of Gong Ran's return.

There was no news from Assistant Du, so Yu Xing simply drove to the places that Gong Ran took him to in the past two months, but before he arrived at the first place, he received a call from the other side. Assistant Du said that Gong Ran Ran left the company with Ming's driver yesterday.

"...Master Wang said that he has been taking Mr. Ming there for the past three years, not directly to the destination, but Mr. Ming always goes to a neighborhood near Zhongxue Street."

"That neighborhood is near No. [-] Middle School, called..."

Fearing that Yu Xing would not be familiar with the location, Assistant Du told him the address in detail, but the neighborhood was his home, so how could Yu Xing not know where it was?

"I'll go with someone right away..."

"No, I'll go directly to him."

Interrupted Assistant Du's words, although Yu Xing didn't know what Gong Ran was doing near his house, but since he went there, it must have something to do with the past, and Gong Ran's attitude of not being followed by others is enough to show that he cares a lot about outsiders' interference This matter, so... it's better not to involve Assistant Du and the others.

If he acted by himself, it would not be easy to be discovered, and Yu Xing would be at ease as long as he saw that Gong Ran was fine.

Just in the car, Yu Xing turned around and turned around at the intersection ahead, heading towards the original high school.

It's not yet the time for traffic jams, but the traffic in the city center is quite busy, and the speed of the car can't be raised at all.After finally returning to my own community, the usually deserted street along the street was already full of cars, leaving only two vacant spaces in a narrow alley opposite the community.

Yu Xing stopped the car and turned into the community on foot.

This was the second time he went home after wearing it back, but he knocked on the door for 5 minutes and rang the doorbell twice with a frantic heartbeat, but Yu Xing didn't get a response.

Nobody at home.

Having to accept this result, he lost the clue to find Gong Ran again.

Yu Xing left the residential building with a heavy expression, and before leaving the community, he looked back in the direction of home reluctantly, but when he returned to the car, Assistant Du didn't call him, which meant that there was no news from Gong Ran.

Looking for the number from the contacts, until now, all Yu Xing could think of was to call the police, but in fact, the police may not be as fast as Gong Ran's people, anyway, Assistant Du has already started to monitor the streets.

During the dialing process, Yu Xing sat in the driver's seat and waited for the other end to answer. It happened that a group of parents who picked up students came to drive with their children.

This is... the college entrance examination?

Looking at the transparent file bags in the children's hands, Yu Xing suddenly remembered something, and on the other side, the phone was connected, "...I found Mr. Ming, but...it seems inappropriate to disturb him now, Mr. Yu, you Come back, he's in the cemetery..."

Cemetery?

really……

In Yu Xing's world, he only left for a month and a half, and the time was not equal, so he only knew that Gong Ran had guarded him for eight years, but he didn't have any specific concept of that long time.

The time point of the two crossings is limited, and Yu Xing, who has been alive all this time, doesn't understand or even care about this world and the death date of his other self.

He left the day after Gong Ran's college entrance examination, and today is the day before his death.

As for why Gong Ran went to "pay homage" to him ahead of time... it probably has something to do with his family.

After talking on the phone with Assistant Du, Yu Xing started the car. After asking about the detailed location of the cemetery, he drove directly from the door of his house. Taking his house as the starting point, he was able to arrive half an hour earlier than Assistant Du's people.

From last night to now, there has been no news from Gong Ran for a whole day, even half an hour earlier, Yu Xing is eager to know his situation.

He was worried.

The car drove all the way into the suburbs, and Yu luckily arrived at the cemetery that Assistant Du had mentioned.

The rain in City D started last night and has not stopped until now, while the rain in the suburbs seems to be much heavier than that in the city, and puddles are formed in the depressions of the asphalt road.

Opening the door, trotting to the trunk in the rain, under the cover of the rear cover of the car, Yu Xing finally found an umbrella enough for two people.

The orange umbrella surface was quickly wetted by the rain, and the overcast weather cast a layer of cold moisture on the vigorously growing vegetation. In contrast to the emerald green vegetation, the orange color walking in the rain is more vivid and eye-catching.

After working as Gong Ran's temporary assistant for three years, Assistant Du was extremely efficient. As a competent subordinate, he also had a little understanding of Gong Ran's heart disease, so he naturally told Yu Xing where another "Yu Xing" was buried.

It didn't take long from walking to running, worrying about the missing person was more important than anything else, and he finally saw Gong Ran's figure in the pale tombstone washed by the rain.

The missing person was leaning against a stone platform in front of a tombstone, with his head down, as if he had fallen asleep.

It's still raining.

Yu Xing trotted all the way without stopping, and paused for a long while before really getting close to his grave.

Speaking of which, since he came back, he has always cared about the people and things he missed, and never thought about what happened to his abandoned body.

But right now, what he cares most about is Gong Ran who hasn't come home all night. That man is still wearing the gray suit he left the company yesterday.

Of course, the clothes had already been drenched by the rain, and the fabric had absorbed water to the point of being completely saturated.

Gong Ran quietly leaned against his tombstone, stroking the cold stone cut surface with one hand, her black hair was all wet and stuck to her face, and there were water marks dripping from her cheeks from time to time, it was hard to tell whether it was tears or rain, he Surrounded by empty beer cans, Yu Xing stepped forward and happened to step on one of them.

This guy is drinking again?

The environment of the cemetery was extremely poor, but Gong Ran was sleeping soundly. Apart from his body curled up and trembling due to the cold, he leaned against the cold tombstone behind him, and his expression was very peaceful, but his face was too pale and his eyes were black and blue. too heavy.

How could this pitiful appearance still have the air of dominating the office?

After losing its owner, it was a large dog that was panicked and stood by the grave thinking.

Yu Xing ran all the way, breathless, and immediately opened an umbrella to block the rain for Gong Ran. He slowly approached him, squatted down, and inexplicably softened his voice to such a fragile Gong Ran, and he slowed down. Changed the tune, "...Gong Ran?"

"..."

Hearing someone calling his name in his sleep, Gong Ran's eyelashes trembled twice, but they did not open.

Maybe Yu Xing's voice was too low, or maybe he had such a beautiful dream that he didn't want to wake up at all.

"Gong Ran, wake up, it's raining..." Yu Xing freed his hand and lightly touched Gong Ran's face, trying to wipe off the raindrops dripping from his face, but was frightened by the cold temperature of his palm. With a jump, Yu Xing shivered, and immediately covered his forehead with his hands. Even with the rain washing away, the skin there was still burning hot.

He has a fever.

Yu Xing frowned, he thought that Gong Ran fell asleep like this because he was drunk, just like... when the two first met, but...

Could it be that this guy has been drenched in the rain all morning?

After establishing the "nurture" relationship, the relationship between Yu Xing and Gong Ran was extremely indifferent. The former didn't know how to deal with this mess, and simply continued to avoid those complicated problems, while the latter needed that face for psychological comfort. The foreigner is also too lazy to talk to each other. Although the two live under the same roof, they have been living their own lives. Apart from sleeping in the same bed at night, there is no other intersection.

What is in front of him is the child that Yu Xing "brought up with one hand". Seeing Gong Ran's decadence like this, Yu Xing has no time to think about so many twists and turns, so many right and wrong, all he can do is feel distressed.

"Gong Ran, wake up, it's cold outside, I want to go home and sleep."

Yu Xing pushed Gong Ran twice more, and then he slowly opened his eyes. He stared at Yu Xing's face absently with his out-of-focus black eyes, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Can you still stand up? You're all wet and you've caught a cold. Let's go back quickly."

After getting along for two months, this is the first time that Yu Xing has spoken to Gong Ran on his own initiative, and it is also the first time that he has said so much, but the latter doesn't seem to understand what he means, and just looks at his face intently, his black eyes changing mood It's complicated, from shock to hesitation, hesitation, and then slowly waking up.

After a long time, the colorless lips opened and closed twice: "You are not him, he didn't come back..."

Although the faces are similar, and the eyes looking at him are almost the same, but...Gong Ran has long accepted Yu Xing's death, not to mention that he has already learned a lesson once, and he will never mistake "others" for Yu Xing again.

Gong Ran's voice was very low, he was drenched in the rain all night, even the male lead couldn't bear it physically, so he rejected Yu Xing's offer and patted his umbrella, "Go away, I don't need you Tube."

Having no temper for drunk people with high fever, Yu Xing just put the umbrella on top of his head again, "It's raining so hard, there's no shelter here, are you going to stay here all day?"

But in fact, Gong Ran was here yesterday afternoon.

Perhaps Yu Xing's deliberately soft voice was too soft, Gong Ran suddenly smiled, moved his fingers, turned his head, and gazed affectionately at the tombstone behind him: "It doesn't rain every time..."

The implication is, will he guard a broken stone here every year?

The author has something to say:

Yu Xing nervously wrapped up his little vest, because it was too cold in winter, he put on an extra scarf: 3
