Save Akihara

Chapter 43

Zhou Shangli took back the poster and drove home, thinking that when he opened the door, he would smell the aroma of vegetables, hear familiar voices in the kitchen, or see familiar figures, but the house was quiet and Xiao Qiuyuan was not at home.

He took out his mobile phone to make a call, but the other party showed that he was not in the service area. He searched around at home, but to no avail, so he had to sit down and wait.

Half an hour later, Zhou Shangli couldn't sit still. Xiao Qiuyuan, who suddenly rushed into the studio, recalled that he was in a strange mood at that time. Zhou Shangli called again, and this time he directly switched to words Leave a message.

He called Daoxiang and Yu, and the reply he got was that Xiao Qiuyuan had left two hours ago. A strong bad premonition spread in his heart. Xiao Qiuyuan might have fallen ill. This is really a terrible thing. thing.

After a sleepless night, finally when the sky turned pale the next day, Zhou Shangli accepted the fact that Xiao Qiuyuan fell ill and didn't know where he went.

The phone was always in the voicemail state, and Zhou Shangli kept leaving him messages while driving around the city.

"Akihara, where have you been? I'm worried about you, please call me back."

"Where are you? Call me back please?"

"I'm looking for you all over the city, I'm scared, call me back."

On the first day, Zhou Shangli drove around half of the city, drank a bottle of water, ate a plate of steamed buns, and Xiao Qiuyuan never heard from him.

"You tell me where I am. I will never bother you. I just want to know if you are safe. Please call me back."

The next day, Zhou Shangli continued to visit the other half of the city, and even went out of the city to a nearby ancient town. It was not the peak tourist season, there were few people, and the environment was very clean. Zhou Shangli toured the ancient town with confidence. If he wants to hide, he will probably choose such a place, but Xiao Qiuyuan is not him, and he is not here.

Hanging up the phone call from the store, and giving Gu Wenwen a hard time on the phone, Zhou Shangli was speeding on the road in a hurry and irritability, and almost ran into a car.

Based on past analysis, Xiao Qiuyuan might take the initiative to contact him at some point in a few days, but four days later, there was still no news from Xiao Qiuyuan.

"If you don't call back, I'm going to call the police."

Zhou Shangli called the police. The police inquired about the situation carefully, made a serious record, and asked him to go home and wait for news.

Standing by the window and looking into the distance from the 33rd floor, the city is especially quiet under the foggy sky, it doesn't look like a metropolis with millions of people.

Zhoushangli had nothing to do, so he wandered around the house, looking for something to pass the time or divert his attention. Maybe in an hour or two, Xiao Qiuyuan would appear at the door, maybe with Carry fruit or vegetables, and then say that he is back.

Finally, I went to buy a pack of cigarettes, looked at the words on the pack that smoking is harmful to health, smiled sarcastically, straightened up on the bed, smoked one after another, quit smoking for a few months, relapse is not unfamiliar at all.

Maybe the city is too big, maybe Xiao Qiuyuan is too good at hiding, five days have passed, and there is no news, Zhou Shangli calls the police in charge on time every day, and also gets the reply on time that makes him wait patiently, nothing has changed , not to mention surprises.

As always, I leave a message, from worry and anxiety to anger at the beginning, so that the later message is as simple as only two words - call back.

Zhou Shangli woke up in the middle of the night, and the emotions he had endured for a week finally broke out. He was no longer sure whether Xiao Qiuyuan was still in this world, and he completely lost his expectation.

Holding the phone, Xiao Qiuyuan's emotionless notification tone was still on the receiver: "I'm Xiao Qiuyuan, please leave a message if you have anything to do."

"Qiuyuan, I'm very scared. I don't know if you're still alive." Zhou Shangli sniffed, but couldn't stop his tears, and choked up, "Call me back, please, tell me you're still alive."

I started to pay attention to the news, especially the metropolitan newspaper, mainly to see if there was any report on the unidentified male corpse on the front page of the day.

When the skinny Zhou Shangli appeared in the photo studio, the three girls in the shop were terrified. They called out to the boss and surrounded Zhou Shangli from a distance without saying anything else.

Li Tao asked Gu Wenwen quietly: "Did he break up with Boss Xiao?"

Gu Wenwen shook her head, with a worried expression on her face, because she was beaten by Zhou Shangli on the phone before, Gu Wenwen didn't dare to ask rashly, the three girls pushed each other, and no one dared to talk to her.

Zhou Shangli sat dully for a while, and asked, "Is anyone taking pictures today?"

Gu Wenwen hurried forward and replied: "No, you said that you have something to do these few days, and you didn't make an appointment, but you will have it next week."

"Let's make an appointment, you can make an appointment every day, even on weekends." Zhou Shangli looked at Dao Xiang and Yu opposite him, and closed his eyes in pain.

Jiang Gejin followed Mei Yanyu into the door. Seeing that no one was paying attention and the atmosphere in the store was oppressive, he looked at Zhou Shangli who was sitting haggard in front of the window, coughed dryly, and asked, "Is anyone there?"

"Blind!" Li Tao responded only after retorting, and immediately covered her mouth. When she saw that it was Jiang Gejin, she immediately asked with a bad face, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Gejin pointed at Zhou Shangli: "What's wrong with your boss?"

"Hey, don't you think you have a chance?" Li Tao warned.

Jiang Gejin opened his mouth, glanced at Mei Yanyu, and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that kind of thought."

"Heh!" Li Tao rolled his eyes, finally looked at Mei Yanyu, and immediately smiled, "Handsome guy, do you want to take a picture?"

Jiang Gejin said: "We came together, of course to take pictures."

"Did I ask you?" Li Tao didn't give Jiang Gejin a good look at all. She always felt that Jiang Gejin came here to take advantage of the situation, so she continued to ask Mei Yanyu, "Then let's talk first?"

"No need." Mei Yanyu today is not the Mei Yanyu of that day. He wore an off-white coat and black-rimmed glasses in a different style, which is very suitable for young people. He appeared in the store with a handsome and gentle appearance. Li Tao didn't recognize it, and neither did the others.

Jiang Gejin looked at Mei Yanyu's cold side face, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. He has been a classmate for three years and has not been in the same class. He has never found that Mei Yanyu is so good-looking.

Mei Yanyu walked straight towards Zhou Shangli, and asked without emotion: "Can we shoot today?"

Zhou Shangli looked up at him, stunned for a moment, and said, "I remembered who you are, did you cosplay Sesshomaru during the manga exhibition?"

Mei Yanyu always looked indifferent, and his words were equally indifferent, "Can you hold a camera like this?"

"Me?" Zhou Shangli seemed to really think about it, looked at his hands, and said with a wry smile, "It should work, what do you want to shoot?"

Mei Yanyu was holding his outfit for taking pictures in his hand, and without answering, he asked Gu Wenwen who was standing behind: "Where is the changing room?"

Gu Wenwen looked at Zhou Shangli, Zhou Shangli got up, a little tired, but when he saw Mei Yanyu, he was very eager to take pictures, and was also curious about what kind of inspiration Mei Yanyu's outfit would bring him.

"I'll take you there." Zhou Shangli rubbed his hair, the original long and messy hair became more messy, he said to Gu Wenwen, "Get ready to put on makeup."

Gu Wenwen said, "Let's put on makeup first."

When Jiang Gejin heard it, he immediately rubbed his hands with anticipation, and followed Mei Yanyu step by step, as if he wanted to speak, but dared not speak. He always advertised that he was very cowardly, and at this moment he was indeed very cowardly.

Mei Yanyu sat in front of the vanity mirror and began to put on makeup, Zhou Shangli adjusted his camera, Jiang Gejin hesitated between the two, and walked towards Zhou Shangli.

"You look," Jiang Gejin made a circle gesture, "it's pretty bad, are you okay?"

Zhou Shangli wiped the camera, and said with emotion when he heard the words: "I didn't expect you to ask something with a little concern. It's rare."

"Is there?" Jiang Ge spread his hands, "I thought my tone was gloating."

Zhou Shangli didn't speak, Jiang Gejin pursed his lips, glanced back at Mei Yanyu, and asked in a low voice: "What happened? Do you need help?"

"Why did you sneak around?" Zhou Shangli asked in bewilderment, "Help me be so shameless?"

"No, tsk!" Jiang Gejin squatted down next to Zhou Shangli, just blocking the view of the dressing room, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Shangli glanced at him, without saying anything, Jiang Gejin raised his volume impatiently, "Say it!"

"I'm a middle-aged man who is almost 30 years old, and I don't need the help of a young boy like you." Zhou Shangli pointed his camera at Jiang Gejin's face and smiled, "Thank you, though."

Jiang Ge stood up now, and snorted coldly, "Master, I'm just asking for it! I don't care!"

Zhou Shangli looked up at him suddenly, and asked inexplicably: "Then I don't care about his life?"

"Ah?" Jiang Gejin was taken aback for a moment, feeling distressed at Zhou Shangli's bloodshot eyes, he really liked Zhou Shangli, he just said nothing, and couldn't help asking: "What the hell is going on?" Is it gone?"

"It's all my fault. I should find out that something is wrong with him." Zhou Shangli pressed the camera to his forehead, blaming himself and in pain, "I know him...I love him, and I can't ignore his life or death."

Jiang Ge now vaguely understood, "What's wrong with your sentimental boyfriend? Let me tell you, the last thing a big man should do is to be sentimental. He has no responsibility at all. He..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Shangli glared at Jiang Gejin with moist red eyes, "What do you know!"

"I don't know! I only know that a man should be free and easy, and a man should protect the one he loves, not make him sad!" Jiang Gejin looks down on Xiao Qiuyuan, whether he is a rival or not, he can't understand Xiao Like Akihara.

Zhou Shangli sneered and said, "You are a son in a greenhouse, of course you have the confidence to speak big words. Jiang Gejin, I hope that ten years from now, when you are my age, you can still say such things."

Jiang Gejin said proudly: "Of course I can!"

Zhou Shangli nodded, "Okay, I also hope that you have a real lover at that time."

Jiang Gejin paused for a moment before saying confidently, "Of course I do!"

Zhou Shangli didn't say anything this time, just gave him a look, walked to the dressing room with the camera, and asked, "Are you ready?"

Li Tao, who was on the sidelines, hummed and exclaimed in a low voice: "It's so handsome!"

Jiang Gejin walked over, Mei Yanyu lowered his eyebrows, saw him coming, and raised his eyes to look at him, which made Jiang Gejin's heart flutter.

After Gu Wenwen added the last touch, she looked at her work with great satisfaction, "It's done!"

Jiang Gejin slowly leaned towards the dressing table, leaning against the edge of the table, picked up a cotton pad on the table and pinched it in his hands, keeping his eyes on Mei Yanyu.

Li Tao gave him a sideways look, and said angrily, "Why are you such a nympho?"

Jiang Gejin raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "What's so strange about the true nature of a man."

Li Tao rolled his eyes, "Oh my God, there is such a person." Then he said to Mei Yanyu attentively: "Little handsome guy, go and change your clothes."

Mei Yanyu went to change clothes, Jiang Gejin wanted to follow, but Li Tao stopped him, and saw that he tore the cotton pad in his hand, snatched it, and said angrily: "You are really a person! You have ADHD!"

"Wow, sister is amazing, I really have ADHD." Jiang Gejin looked at Li Tao pretending to be surprised.

Li Tao was pissed off by him, he smiled smugly, and saw Zhou Shangli standing in front of the window looking at the other side like a wooden stake, feeling indescribably depressed.

Mei Yanyu came out after changing clothes. He was dressed in the robes of the Republic of China. He actually took this photo for publicity.

Jiang Gejin's eyes straightened when he saw him, and his depressed mood about Zhou Shangli's emaciation suddenly became brighter, and it took him a long time to click his tongue twice, "It's so beautiful!"

Mei Yanyu heard these three words for the second time, glanced at Jiang Gejin, and said coldly: "If you read so much, you won't be able to only say these three words."

Jiang Gejin smiled and said, "Xueba, I still count on you to teach me."

"Have you ever seen a bully who has someone in his eyes?" Mei Yanyu smiled coldly and greeted Zhou Shangli, "Let's start."

Jiang Gejin clicked his tongue and smiled playfully, "It suits my taste too much."

Zhou Shangli asked Mei Yanyu, who was standing upright, "What game poster?"

"Poetry." Mei Yanyu said concisely, with no expression on his face.

Zhou Shangli raised his hand and turned his direction, "Turn sideways, don't look at me, how are your grades?"

"Temporarily ranked first in the city." Mei Yanyu continued on.

Zhou Shangli looked at Mei Yanyu from the camera, showing a gratified smile, "Very well, it fits your current state, and I don't need to teach you how to be arrogant."

Mei Yanyu corrected him: "This is called self-confidence."

Zhou Shangli smiled, noncommittal, and Mei Yanyu said, "It's a pity you don't have one."

"What?" Zhou Shangli kept his hands on his hands, and said in his mouth, "How can you see that?"

"Isn't your current appearance enough to be clear at a glance?"

Zhou Shangli stopped, looked at him, and smiled bitterly: "What? Are you going to give me a lesson?"

"I won't give you such a class, it's a waste of time." Mei Yanyu straightened his robe and said, "You shoot when I flick my sleeves."

Zhou Shangli said: "Not only do you want to give me lessons, but you also teach me how to take pictures. You are very good."

"At least I have self-confidence," Mei Yanyu suddenly faced Zhou Shangli, with his hands behind his back, as if preaching, "I am confident in my judgment, I am confident in my ability, and I am also confident in my vision of seeing people. I have the confidence to do everything I decide to do, and even if I get hit, I won’t make myself look like a mouse.”

"It's too serious for you to shoot like this." Zhou Shangli sighed: "Your mouth is really poisonous."

"The competition is a serious matter. Those who say that the most important thing is to participate are just to give themselves a step up. I don't need it." Mei Yanyu put one hand on his abdomen, like a scholar who has read poetry and books and is rich in knowledge , "Just follow my movements and take pictures."

Zhou Shangli can't talk anymore. If he continues, he may be shut down by Mei Yanyu's poisonous tongue. He has been very shut up for a while.

Jiang Gejin kept laughing from the sidelines, and said, "Xueba, I heard people say that you hurt people badly, today I opened my eyes."

Mei Yanyu didn't say to Jiang Gejin until after filming a set, "You have always been blind."

"Ah?" Jiang Gejin felt that Mei Yanyu's tone sounded resentful, and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Mei Yanyu ignored him and changed clothes.
