Shoulder to shoulder

During the flight, it was time for the sun to rise.

Bigo's seat was next to the window, and the golden light diffused from the clouds, which was unbelievably beautiful.

When Jian Xuezhou got on the plane, he closed his eyes and rested. Now he was wrapped in a blanket, only showing the upper half of his face.

Bi Guo looked back at her, the light outside the window fell on her eyelashes, reflecting Jian Xuezhou's skin with a warm light.

Bi Guo was in a panic all night, until now, he was a little free to think about it, Jian Xuezhou didn't wear makeup today.

Just like her appearance at home, it makes people feel soft and close.

It's just that he probably didn't sleep well, and his brows were always slightly frowned.

The voyage was not long. Before the plane landed, Jian Xuezhou sat up straight and went to wash his face. When he came back, he took out the cosmetics in his bag and put on light makeup.

Bi Guo kept looking at her, Jian Xuezhou closed the loose powder lid, turned to her and asked, "Aren't you sleepy?"

Bi Guo shook his head.

In fact, she should be sleepy. Since she couldn't contact Ji Lan, she has been in a state of tension and panic.Jian Xuezhou told her not to think about it last night, but she couldn't control her head.

I didn't sleep well, and I was catching an early morning flight. By this time, I should be able to fall asleep after just touching the pillow.

But she was wide awake, and she was waiting for an answer.

Jian Xuezhou regained his vigor and threw two candies to Bi Guo.

The sweet and sour taste of the candy stimulated the taste buds, and Bi Guo suddenly felt a little hungry.

Although Jian Xuezhou didn't look at her, he seemed to understand what she was thinking with only the air sensor: "Eat first when you arrive, her parents have already passed."

Bi Guo stared at her suddenly, and said, "Ah?" for a long while.

Jian Xuezhou said: "The person on the ID card is her aunt. As long as she is a relative, it will be much easier to find."

"Then how is she doing now?" Bi Guo asked.

Jian Xuezhou pointed to the mobile phone: "This is the latest news."

Finally, half of the stone in Bi Guo's heart fell down.

Ji Lan lived alone, and as her friend who had the most frequent contact with her, Ji Lan had an accident, so she couldn't bear the responsibility after all.

But now that her relatives have heard the news and rushed over, Bi Guo's responsibility has been passed on, which made her feel a lot easier.

While letting out a long sigh of relief, he also felt that he was really selfish.

From landing to the hotel that Jian Xuezhou booked before, Bi Guo didn't speak any more along the way.

Until the two sat at the dinner table, Jian Xue said: "I have a meeting later, what is your arrangement?"

What is her arrangement?She came to find Ji Lan... No, she came to save Ji Lan.

But when she set foot in Beishi, she realized that she didn't seem to have the qualifications.

She didn't know what Ji Lan looked like, she didn't know her phone number, she didn't know her home address, and she didn't even know her across the street.

Bi Guo asked Jian Xuezhou: "Do you have her aunt's contact information?"

"Yeah." Jian Xuezhou took the phone, "The call is for you."

"Well." Bi Guo said, "Sister Jane, thank you, this matter has nothing to do with you, I can handle it myself later."

Jian Xuezhou smiled: "I've been on the phone all night, will this have nothing to do with me?"

Bi Guo pinched his fingers, and could only lower his head and say, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's quite troublesome to have such an uneasy friend." Jian Xuezhou drank two mouthfuls of porridge slowly, "If you plan to find someone, pay attention to safety. If you are fine, you can come to Wangfujing in the city center, on the third floor Xingzhi Bookstore, there will be a signing after two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Signing session?" Bi Guo looked up and was taken aback.

Jian Xuezhou looked at her, and after a while, he curled his lips and smiled: "How do you think I got that ID card? I work in this line of work, and I am very familiar with the executives of Jinjiang Literature City."

Bi Guo naturally knew that she was in this industry, but now that Jian Xuezhou said to her "in this industry", Bi Guo didn't know to what level Jian Xuezhou wanted to reveal his identity.

As for the signing event, whether it was Jian Xuezhou's own signing event, she dared not ask, for fear that she would betray herself with just one look.

After a while, Jian Xuezhou had almost finished his porridge, and Bi Guo then bypassed the topic and asked, "Then sister, how did you find Aunt Ji Lan's phone number?"

Jian Xuezhou grabbed the package to make up lipstick: "Why don't you need an ID card for what you do these days? I already know the ID card, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone?"

"Oh." Bi Guo replied, muttering to herself, if you give it to her, she doesn't know how to find it.

Jian Xuezhou got up and threw the room card to Bi Guo: "I'm sure I won't be back until ten o'clock in the evening. You'd better come back before dark."

"En." Bi Guo took the room card, and just about to get up, Jian Xuezhou suddenly crossed the table, stood in front of her and bowed his head.

The fragrance was lingering, and Jian Xuezhou looked down at Bi Guo, his voice was calm but serious: "You have to be prepared, Ji Lan is really determined to commit suicide, and at this point, there will be no way to save her."

Bi Guo's eyes widened, the word "suicide" was thrown out so bluntly, it was shocking.

"If she's okay this time..." Jian Xuezhou continued, "There will be a long treatment period in the future, and this is her own path."

Bi Guo was speechless, she hadn't figured out what happened to Ji Lan, or her head hadn't had time to think about the reasons behind it, she came to Beishi in a hurry now, but she just hoped that Ji Lan would be safe .

But Jian Xuezhou seems to have understood everything.

Bi Guo kept watching her back as she left the restaurant, and sat on the seat for a while.

After sorting out his thoughts, Bi Guo called Aunt Ji Lan and asked about the current situation.

In fact, this little aunt doesn't know much, she is at work at this point, she only said that Ji Lan's parents have passed, and she is also waiting for news.

Bi Guo said: "Excuse me, if you have any news, please send me a text message. I have known Ji Lan for a long time, and I am very worried about her. It was my sister who contacted you before, and you can just tell me later .”

"Hey, good." Aunt Ji Lan lowered her voice, "Can I ask you, how did you know each other?"

Bi Guo remembered that Ji Lan said before that her family and friends didn't know about her full-time job. After this incident, everyone would definitely know about it, but Bi Guo couldn't open the mouth first.

So she said, "I have contacts at work."

"Then do you know what she did with my ID card?" Aunt Ji Lan asked.

Bi Guo didn't expect her to ask this, and felt a little sad, and said: "It's not a bad thing."

"This child has never been able to understand what she's thinking since she was a child." Aunt Ji Lan muttered a few words before saying, "Okay, I'll let you know if I have any news."

After hanging up the phone, Bi Guo originally planned to go back to his room and wait.

But as soon as he entered the elevator, Aunt Ji Lan called. Bi Guo was afraid that the signal in the elevator would be bad, so he hurriedly clicked on the first floor and went out first.

"What's wrong?" She gasped for breath.

My aunt was extremely anxious: "I'm in the hospital now, I drank a lot of wine, I don't ask questions, I just cry."

"Is she healthy?!" Bi Guo almost shouted.

"Still checking, there is no problem now." The aunt said, "This child quit her job and moved her place of residence, so I didn't tell her family. Her parents searched for a long time to find someone, and now they can't ask ..."

"Can you tell me the address of the hospital?" Bi Guo interrupted her, "I'm in Beishi, I'll go and see her."

"That's what I mean too. Your peers are easy to talk to." The aunt said, "I'll send you a text message for the address."

Bi Guo didn't stop, hurried out of the hotel, took a taxi and headed to the hospital.

Aunt Ji Lan also sent her the mobile phone number of Ji Lan's father, asking her to contact him first when she arrived at the hospital.

The distance was actually not far away. After half an hour, Bi Guo's palms were sweating.

Ji Lan's father was not as careless or rude and domineering as Bi Guo imagined.

All the reasons that Bi Guo guessed about the poor communication in Ji Lan's family all fell apart with Ji Lan's father.

It was a middle-aged man who could even be called refined, and he received Bi Guo politely and gently. At the same time, for Ji Lan, he ran around the hospital anxiously.

Ji Lan was accompanied by her mother, her eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was lax. She mechanically cooperated with the inspection, but she just didn't speak.

Bi Guo looked at her from a distance most of the time, and several times when she was very close and bumped into her head-on, Ji Lan didn't even look at her.

Ji Lan was not interested in this strange girl who appeared next to her father, nor did she care about her parents' anxiety, and she didn't seem sad when she suddenly started to cry, her whole being was like a pool of stagnant water, without traces or waves.

Ji Lan's father said: "After the examination, the doctor sent me to the psychiatrist."

Bi Guo finally overcame the huge sense of distance brought about by being completely unfamiliar, walked to Ji Lan's side again, and called out her most frequent nickname: "Ji Xiaolan."

Ji Lan's eyelashes moved, but she still sat quietly, leaving Bi Guo with a profile that was so thin that a bone could be seen.

"I'm a pecan." Bi Guo said.

Neither Ji Lan's father nor mother had expected such an opening remark.

They looked at Bi Guo, who touched Ji Lan's sleeve lightly, and asked her, "Can I tell my uncle and aunt about our relationship?"

To talk about our relationship is to say what Bi Guo knew about Ji Lan's life.

Although it was a completely closed and secret life to everyone, but because of the network cable, the vast sea of ​​people and the world, Bi Guo once walked in a little bit.

No matter how much Ji Lan concealed her emotions from her, the stories they made up together, the movies they complained about together, and the laughing and screaming together should always be real.

No one expected that this sentence completely touched Ji Lan.After a half-minute pause, she suddenly raised her hand and pushed Bi Guo.

Bi Guo was just rubbing against the edge of the stool, and was overturned to the ground without warning.

The air conditioner in the hospital was fully activated, and the marble floor was icy cold. When Bi Guo fell down, he felt the coldness penetrate directly into his heart from the skin that touched the ground in an instant.

Ji Lan's father yelled in a low voice: "What are you doing!" He quickly helped Bi Guo up, and apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lan Lan's mood is not stable..."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Bi Guo looked at Ji Lan, "I'm just worried about you, and I want to help you."

Ji Lan began to shake her head frantically, raised her finger to Bi Guo, and said emotionally, "Go, go, you shouldn't be here!"

This was probably the first sentence Ji Lan uttered today.

The expressions of Ji Lan's parents are complicated and indescribable.But Bi Guo's face was hot, the heat surged up, and his back felt cold, as if he had been slapped several times in public.

Ji Lan's father hesitated for a while, and finally asked Bi Guo: "What's going on? Did something happen between you?"

Without waiting for Bi Guo to answer, Ji Lan suddenly rushed over to block between the two of them. She looked at Bi Guo and said in a low voice but clearly: "Have you forgotten the first sentence I told you? ?”

Forgot?

If today's Ji Lan was the cheerful Ji Xiaolan who communicated with her by voice on weekdays, then after all, she might not remember the first sentence they said two years ago.

But now, in this situation and the scene, this sentence emerges from memory, it is extremely vivid, as if it has been repeated countless times.

That was the text sent by Ji Lan, she said:

- If you are not happy with the communication, you can disappear at any time, you don't have to force yourself to maintain it, and you don't need to have a psychological burden.

Bi Guo stared at her blankly, and at this moment, he saw Ji Lan's face clearly.

She was completely different from what Bi Guo had imagined. Bi Guo thought she had chubby cheeks, round eyes that loved to smile, and the corners of her lips would turn up, making her look gentle and happy.

The real Ji Lan has sharp outlines, long and narrow eyes, extremely tight thin lips, depressed and desperate.

She was really too thin, and her complexion was weak and white, as if she hadn't seen the light for a long time.

The answer had already landed in Bi Guo's heart like a stone falling to the ground, but she was still worried, and asked hoarsely, "Ji Xiaolan, are you unhappy now?"

"Yes." Ji Lan stared at her without hesitation, "I'm not happy."
