Xu Xi nodded to He Ze, a little grateful to him, and felt warm in her heart.

Although He Ze was still thinking about persuading Xu Xi to return to Beijing, he didn't mention it on the surface. Instead, he asked Xu Xi what happened in the past few months with concern. Xu Xi simply told him about his friends here , I gradually relaxed a lot.

Leaving aside the unpleasantness of the past, and getting together in this place far away from Beijing, Xu Xi felt that he and He Ze had no grievances and concerns, and became friends who could really get along with each other. The two got along and chatted freely. It's easy with each other.

This is very good, He Ze thought in his heart, this is a feeling he never had before, or a simple relationship started like this.They kept talking and talking, and soon it was dark, and the two of them went out to eat something casually. When He Ze sent Xu Xi back, it was a bit late.

Sun Ye was playing computer games, and the folding bed and quilt were placed beside Xu Xi's bed. Seeing the two of them come back, he said, "Where is that bed? Wife, please fix it for Brother He. At the critical moment here, I won't tell you any more."

When He Ze saw that there were so many people in the room, and there were two girls in pajamas, he immediately felt that he was not well.Do you dare to love that all the men and women in their store live together?He Ze had never seen such a scene before, when he saw the eyes of the two girls looking at him, he panicked, no matter how frivolous he is usually, he has never treated girls like that, how could he have the nerve to let him sleep here?

He Ze immediately began to decline, no matter how enthusiastic everyone was to persuade him to stay, he still went out and found a hotel to spend the night.

The next day, according to the appointment made the day before, Xu Xi took He Ze out to play and visited the small urban-rural junction. Xu Xi hadn't come out to play for a long time, so she was quite happy.He felt more and more comfortable getting along with He Ze and became a true friend.That afternoon, He Ze still had work to do, so he returned to Beijing, and made an appointment to see him again in a few days.Xu Xi thought that He Ze was joking, but he didn't expect that He Ze would come again in a few days, and it was no different from last time. The two met, chatted, had something to eat, and congratulated each other the next day. Ze will leave again.It's just that he hasn't given up on persuading Xu Xi to go to Beijing, which bothers Xu Xi a little. Apart from this, they get along more and more harmoniously.

After He Ze came three or four times, the relationship between them became closer than before, and the address for He Ze changed from "Mr. He" to "A Ze".This is a big breakthrough, and they will gradually get better and better, He Ze thinks so.

More than a month passed like this, and the cold winter came to the earth.It has been a very cold winter, with snow falling in the relatively mild South.

It seems that people have become lazy in such a severe cold weather, Xu Xi's life is gradually becoming more and more peaceful, but in the distant Beijing, Sheng Huaijin feels that her life is in anxiety every day.

"Boss, I really don't know..." A middle-aged woman was sitting opposite Sheng Huaijin, with a small ticket bag hanging on her waist. She looked up at the luxurious office, looking a little cramped.

Sheng Huaijin's appearance became more and more gloomy. In just a few months, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and he was a little haggard and tired. He seemed to have not slept peacefully for a long time, and his eyes were black and blue.He frowned at the conductor, feeling very upset.It took several months to finally find the car that Xu Xi took, but she didn't know how many times she went back and forth to Beijing, and she didn't remember much.

"Think about it again, any little detail is fine. I must find him, which is very important to me." Sheng Huaijin stared at the conductor and said, "As long as you can help me find him, I will definitely thank you your."

The conductor seemed to be tempted by the benefits, and tried to remember again, and said slowly: "I remember that... the young man you mentioned, he looked very small and very beautiful. I remember that he was... …I contacted him with a public phone near the station. I went to pick him up. But he was silent all the way and didn’t talk to anyone, so I didn’t pay much attention to him. By the way, I remembered a little …For some reason, he got off the bus with another young man beside him, and it was a fork in the middle of the road before reaching the terminal. Then how can I know where they are going when they get off the bus..."

"With another person?" Sheng Huaijin was shocked, and asked again: "What does that person look like?"

The conductor tried to recall again: "It's just a young man in his early twenties, very tall...speaking Sichuan dialect, with a dog."

Hearing such a description, Sheng Huaijin couldn't remember that this person was anyone he knew. How could Xu Xi leave with such a person?So he said: "Can you find a way to find this person?"

The conductor shook his head.

Sheng Huaijin was very disappointed, and finally found a clue, but it was broken again, as if there was a force in the dark that kept preventing him from finding Xu Xi.After so long, all he knew was that Xu Xi went to Sichuan, near Chengdu.

But where did he go?Sheng Huaijin walked away silently, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking at the city covered by thick smog, it seemed that such a fog was cast in her heart.

Seeing this, the assistant next to him took out a wad of money and a business card and handed it to the conductor, saying politely: "Ma'am, please make a trip today. If you think of anything later, you must contact me , we will be very grateful to you."

The conductor was shocked when he saw the thickness of the "thank you", and immediately said that he would definitely go back and think about it.

After the assistant sent the conductor away with a smile, he made another phone call, walked up to Sheng Huaijin and said, "President Sheng, I have arranged for someone to go to Chengdu to investigate immediately, you..."

"Book me a ticket to Chengdu." Sheng Huaijin turned around and interrupted the assistant.

The assistant looked embarrassed and said: "Mr. Sheng, I'm afraid this is not good. Recently, there have been a lot of things in the company... Besides, I am not sure if he is in Chengdu. I will let them find it as soon as possible. After you find it, you come on."

Sheng Huaijin shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it, keep checking. I have to go to Chengdu by myself to feel at ease."

Seeing that the assistant couldn't be persuaded, he didn't say anything more, and followed Sheng Huaijin's footsteps and walked out of the office.

A few hours later, Sheng Huaijin appeared in Chengdu.He lightly stroked the watch on his wrist, thinking of the look that Xu Xi put on his wrist seriously at that time.

Everything was beautiful then, why didn't he grab Xu Xi's hand?

Now I can only regret it like this, Sheng Huaijin feels very tired.He knew that it would not be of much use if he came, but he would feel better if he could get closer to Xu Xi.

Sheng Huaijin wandered aimlessly in the city for a long time, and felt uncomfortable looking at every similar figure on the street, no matter how similar, it was not him.As long as he appears, Sheng Huaijin will definitely recognize him in the crowd.

But he didn't show up, he walked cleanly without any hesitation.Sheng Huaijin and Xu Xi were in the same city, but he couldn't be found no matter what.

Sheng Huaijin drank and was so drunk that she didn't know how she found the hotel and climbed into bed to sleep.

The next morning, Sheng Huaijin woke up with a splitting headache, and saw several text messages while holding the phone, one of which immediately caught Sheng Huaijin's eyes.

——Mr. Sheng, there is news.

Sheng Huaijin felt that he was taking a breath, and his hands began to tremble. He hurriedly called back, and his voice changed a little bit uncontrollably.

"What did you find?"

"Mr. Sheng, it's not a direct clue about Xu Xi, but it's definitely related to him. That's right, Ms. Liu said she remembered some information about the young man who got off the bus with Xu Xi, and said she used a mobile phone in Sichuan. The number contacted her to book the ticket, just the day before departure. Then we checked all the phone numbers we had contacted with her that day, and found the man’s mobile phone number. After I located it, I found that the man is now in the xx district of Chengdu. Taking a taxi from where they get off is the closest option, and it takes less than an hour."

Sheng Huaijin seemed to immediately feel hope ignited in her heart, even if she wanted to suddenly hang down a spider's thread from the bottom of the dark well, even if she knew it was vague, she couldn't help reaching out to grab it.

"And... one more thing. Mr. Sheng, that is..." The assistant paused for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "After we found out this mobile phone number, we found that this number has contacted... He Ze very frequently."

"You said... He Ze?" Sheng Huaijin immediately frowned, his expression changed.

"Yes, the earliest record was a month ago. It is because... because of the connection with He Ze, we can be sure that Xu Xi should still be with the owner of this number."

"Tell me the detailed address."

"Mr. Sheng, shouldn't you go back to Beijing now? I'll ask someone to go over and have a look. If you're sure, then..."

"No, tell me the address, I'll go there now."

The assistant was silent for a while, then told the address, and Sheng Huaijin hung up the phone immediately after writing it down.

******

It was especially cold this day, and the north wind was whistling and shaving my face was painful. The sun came out at noon, so it was warmer.

Xu Xi and He Ze walked side by side on the street, each holding a cup of hot milk tea.

As he was walking, He Ze suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Xi and said, "I'm so sorry, Xiao Xi, I've been really busy recently, and I don't have much time to accompany you."

"No, you are busy with work." Xu Xi quickly waved her hand.Although getting along with He Ze is very relaxed and happy, Xu Xi will feel very sorry when He Ze always comes here. Besides, He Ze always wants to bring up the matter of returning to Beijing, which makes Xu Xi very troubled.

This time He Ze came to play for two more days, and he is leaving now.

"Thank you for the milk tea." He Ze smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Xi's head, and said with a smile, "I've been a little busy recently, I don't know when I'll come to see you next time."

"You, you are busy with your work."

"By the way, you should buy a mobile phone. I'm embarrassed to keep calling your boss."

Xu Xi shook her head, smiled and said nothing.
