Palm Idol

Three days passed without any problems.

It had been several days since the last typhoon passed through, and the temperature suddenly rose. Jingxiang stood a little restlessly on the asphalt-paved river, waiting for Xu Lan to come over.

After waiting for 5 minutes, Xu Lan hurried over from the other side of the bridge.

Jingxiang looked at him out of breath, and said with some disgust: "It's late to go out again? Every time I tell people to go out at 3:3, can you move until 45:[-]?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...!" Xu Lan had no temper at all at this time, and said embarrassedly, "I must go out early next time."

Jing Xiang didn't answer, he was used to Xu Lan's slow temper anyway, so he only glanced at the bridge behind him.

Xu Lan waved her hand: "Don't worry, Brother Lu didn't call over, he didn't even know that I came out to look for you."

"It's okay to know." Thinking of Lu Yiwen, Jing Xiang's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and he paused before saying, "... Anyway, he doesn't care about us."

"Your words sound so weird." Xu Lan gasped and said, "Are you still angry with Brother Lu and Jian She?"

Jing Xiang didn't admit it, but that expression obviously said everything.

"Forget it, forget it, take me to find Bai Zhiyuan first." Xu Lan began to talk about business, "I've been on the phone with him like crazy for the past few days, and I never answer."

"Okay." Jing Xiang nodded, "I'll take you there. But you haven't told me yet, what exactly are you trying to say to Brother Bai?"

Xu Lan pursed her lips: "Just talk."

After he told Lu Yiwen about Bai Zhiyuan that day, his emotions were actually very complicated.

Although we can't talk about how familiar they are with Bai Zhiyuan, they are also teammates who often train together and go on stage together. Suddenly, he said that Bai Zhiyuan was like an enemy spy, approaching them with some ulterior secret. It is also unacceptable.

In addition, Lu Yiwen unintentionally mentioned the matter of their dissolution in the future, which put a lot of psychological pressure on Xu Lan. When he thought that they would really disband in the future, he couldn't help but want to cry.

So he naively thought that if Bai Zhiyuan could make a good apology to Lu Yiwen, Ji Cai might be able to recover as before.

Moreover, Jian She's voice has basically recovered now, and they will be able to resume their activities soon.

How nice that is.

Since escaping from Qian Le's breathless student war, the only place Xu Lan can go is the company's dormitory.

It is not suitable to live in Xiaolu's house for a long time, the only way to feel at ease is to stay in the dormitory.Before he knew it, he had already regarded this place as his home, and the last thing he wanted to see was its messy appearance.

However, despite thinking this way, Bai Zhiyuan's refusal to answer his phone call is already the biggest problem.

Basically, the calls were hung up after a long time. It seemed that he had not been blacklisted, and Bai Zhiyuan simply didn't want to talk to him.

Xu Lan, who had nowhere to go, ran to talk to Jian She about this matter, and asked him what he was going to do.

Jian She's reply was straightforward, and she firmly told him to contact Jing Xiang first, Jing Xiang must know where Bai Zhiyuan's home is.

"How do you know that Jingxiang knows where he lives?" Xu Lan said in surprise on the phone, "Why do I suddenly feel that you share everything, but I don't know anything?"

Jian She didn't answer, Xu Lan's words seemed to remind him of those annoying experiences of being pestered by Bai Zhiyuan in the past, so he hung up the phone on the spot.

Xu Lan is used to Jian She's indifference, even sent him a wechat message before going out today, and didn't care whether Jian She would reply or not.

"Oh." Jing Xiang didn't think about it, "That's fine. But I don't know if he's at home or not."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's fine if you're not at home." Xu Lan asked cautiously, "By the way, you moved out of the dormitory, did Bai Zhiyuan find the house for you?"

"Yeah." Jingxiang didn't deny it.

"No wonder." Xu Lan followed behind him, but didn't say the rest.

It seems that Bai Zhiyuan did get closer to both Jing Xiang and Jian She without his knowing it, but he was excluded for some unknown reason.

Bai Zhiyuan's rented house is not far from the river, and it's the first time for Jingxiang to come here. Seeing that the scene around them becomes more desolate as the two walk away, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians passing by, he can't help feeling a little panicked.

"Does Bai Zhiyuan really live near here?" Xu Lan was a little skeptical, "Isn't he a college student? Why doesn't he live in a college dormitory? Just like Jian She."

"There's nothing wrong with this neighborhood." Jing Xiang had a big heart, "I still have a little impression of this area. He brought me here before and walked this way."

The two probed deeper into the road, and it was already a residential area, with dilapidated low-rise apartment buildings on both sides. Occasionally, an old man came out to sprinkle water on the door, gave them a cold look, and then went back.

Xu Lan became more and more flustered, but seeing Jing Xiang walking forward with confidence, she couldn't say much.

However, it turns out that people are sometimes really sensitive to bad things.

When the two of them finally walked to the place Jingxiang said, they found that the building of Bai Zhiyuan's house seemed to be embedded at the end of the alley. Blocked at the stairway outside.

As soon as Xu Lan saw them, her whole body trembled, and she quickly pulled Jing Xiang back: "Is this here!? Are you sure that Bai Zhiyuan lives here?"

He doesn't want to go in anymore.

"It's here..." Jing Xiang also felt that something was wrong, "Why don't I call him and ask him to come out first—"

Before the words were finished, those little hooligans had already surrounded them.

"Brother." The leader of a hooligan called him, "Do you know a guy named Bai Zhiyuan here?"

Upon hearing "Bai Zhiyuan", Jing Xiang and Xu Lan looked at each other in panic.Both of them are not stupid, looking at it like this, one can tell that Bai Zhiyuan has gotten into trouble.

"I don't know each other, we're just passing by." At this time, walking is the best policy, and both of them shook their heads in denial.

"That's right." But the gangsters are very smart, and seeing their denials, they feel that something is wrong, "I really don't know you? This place is at the end of an alley, where are you going to pass here?"

Xu Lan & Jing Xiang: "..."

"Also, even though you say you don't know each other, why do I look familiar to you?" The little gangster continued to lie to him, "Did someone borrow a lot of money recently?"

Jing Xiang couldn't hide what happened, and his face turned pale immediately.

Seeing his expression, the bastard understood everything.In fact, even if Xu Lan and Jing Xiang really didn't know Bai Zhiyuan and had never borrowed money, they didn't intend to let them go.These two children looked like persimmons at first glance, so naturally they wanted to pinch them when they were in a bad mood.

Seeing that the gangsters were about to form a circle around them, Jing Xiang was heartbroken, raised his leg and kicked the gangster's head on the forehead, and then pulled away Xu Lan who was standing there dumbfounded.

"Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and run!!"

When Lu Yiwen received the news and rushed to the hospital, both Jingxiang and Xu Lan had already finished bandaging.

There were many people coming and going in the hospital, and there were many more critically ill patients than them. The two were rushed to the bench in the corridor, covering their faces and drooping their heads.

Jian She came out of the door with the bill and a brand new white gauze in her hand, threw the white gauze to the two of them, and rubbed the medical bill again.

"Or I'll pay for it myself." Xu Lan was frightened by his silent expression, covered her face with tears in her eyes, "Thank you so much today."

When he and Jing Xiang were chased and beaten by the gangsters, no one around was willing to come out to help them, even the uncle who sprinkled water before took his dog back to the house.

Only Jian She quickly and decisively found the location of the two according to the location he sent out hastily, and saved them from being punched and kicked by the hooligans.

Jing Xiang's face was also colored, and his face turned blue and white. He and Jian She were still in the state of having just finished arguing, so embarrassed that he couldn't even lift his head.

"It's not much money, it's okay." After all, he was the one who asked Xu Lan to find Bai Zhiyuan in private, and Jian She felt that he was also responsible for this matter, "I just called Brother Lu and asked him to pick you up and return to the dormitory later. .”

"Hmm..." Xu Lan still couldn't hold back the urge to cry, and looked at him pitifully, "Jian She, why don't you go back to the company dormitory? Is that okay?"

Ever since Jian She moved to the university, Xu Lan always felt that she was getting farther and farther away from him.

"I will go back to live on weekends." Jian She was not moved by his tears, glanced at Jing Xiang next to him, and said in a cold tone, "You might as well persuade him to go back to live, and live outside by yourself, and was sold Do not know at all."

Jing Xiang turned his face away and said nothing.

Jian She brought the police over there to find them. After the gangsters were caught, according to the police, they collected debts for loan sharks in this area.

Having said that, it is clear where Bai Zhiyuan's tuition fee for him came from.

Jing Xiang is not very clear about the specific process of loan sharking, but he also knows that if Bai Zhiyuan disappears like this, those gangsters will go to his house to block people sooner or later.

And his young sister, who is alone at home for a long time.

"Just because you make my brother so angry, I won't pay your tuition." Jian She's tone was cold, "You should reflect on yourself."

"I won't let you pay either..." Jing Xiang said hard, but his words were obviously lost, "I will work hard to pay back the medical expenses to you in the future."

Jian She didn't speak, just took advantage of the situation and sat down on the bench next to her, waiting for Lu Yiwen to come over.

However, although Jian She was so cold now that he seemed to have written "Don't talk to me" on his head, he was indeed the one who saved the two of them just now.

Thinking of this, Jing Xiang bit his lower lip lightly, and said vaguely: "I'm sorry about what happened a few days ago."

Jian She didn't look at him, but just said "um", indicating that she heard it.

Jing Xiang knew that his voice hadn't fully recovered, so he couldn't talk much, and he probably spent a lot of talking about himself and Xu Lan today, so he didn't say anything more.

The corridor of the hospital was originally deserted and quiet, and it was even more silent at this time. However, for some reason, Jing Xiang felt that the air full of disinfectant smell had inexplicably become so pleasant.
