That night, Liu Lian simply packed her luggage, packed some of her and Lu Ziqi's changes of clothes and daily necessities, then greeted the crew and Qiu Shuyu, and the next day, she and Lu Ziqi set foot on the bullet train between Chongqing and Chengdu.

About two hours later, the two got off at Chengdu East Station.

Lu Ziqi let the flow take its course and took the backpack that Liu Lian was about to carry on her body, and walked forward while saying, "Where do you live at home? Is it far from here?"

Liu Lian paused, seeing Lu Ziqi walking in front of her, she suddenly felt warm in her heart, and hurriedly followed her and said, "Chenghua District, I went to the north of the city. It's quite far away. This is the east of the city."

"How long will it take by car?" Lu Ziqi asked.

Liu Lian thought for a while and said, "It should take an hour."

"I'm going, it's so far away!" Lu Ziqi frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"You didn't ask me what to say!" Liu Lian couldn't help retorting, "Besides, even if I tell you that my house is far away, will you not come?"

Lu Ziqi moved his lips and did not speak.

The two took the subway directly at Chengdu East Railway Station for more than an hour. After getting out of the subway, they walked for a while before arriving at a bus stop. There were only two buses at this bus stop, and the bus platform was crowded with people. When a bus came slowly, the wheels hadn't even stopped and the crowd swarmed onto it.

Lu Ziqi squeezed in the crowd with a numb face, the bus driver yelled at those crowded people in authentic Sichuan Chengdu dialect, and asked those who got on the bus from the back door to pay with dirty words. Lu Ziqi, who had never even been on a bus, felt extremely terrified.

"Hello." Liu Lian bumped Lu Ziqi with her elbow, "If you don't want to take the bus, forget it, we'd better take a taxi." Although this is what they said, the location here is relatively remote, and they didn't even look at it when they walked all the way. When I saw a few taxis, even if I saw them, I was already taken by someone else.

Lu Ziqi was extremely depressed watching two groups of young people on the other side of the road scrambling for a taxi, and after a little hesitation, he said, "It's okay, let's take the bus."

"It's almost Chinese New Year now, and everyone has a couple of dollars in their pockets, so the taxi business is so good." Liu Lian patted Lu Ziqi's shoulder comfortingly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, take the bus three times from here. It's four stops away."

As soon as the words fell, the bus they were going to take came, and a group of people standing in front of them rushed to get on the bus again.

Liu Lian and Lu Ziqi waited until everyone had finished boarding before getting into the car and standing next to the door.

During the whole process, Lu Ziqi's face was so dark that ink dripped out. Liu Lian held the door of the car and watched Lu Ziqi's reaction carefully. The next second, she inadvertently met Lu Ziqi's gaze. She thought Lu Ziqi would give her a hard look. Unexpectedly, Lu Ziqi just looked away lightly to see the scenery flashing by outside the window.

Half an hour later, there was a steady stream of people getting on the bus. Liu Lian and Lu Ziqi were squeezed to stand in front of the exit door. Lu Ziqi was about 1.7 meters tall, which was about the same height as the average man in Sichuan. She held rings in both hands, and her figure was long The slender, waist-length black long hair hangs over her chest, covering most of her masked face.

But even the seemingly ordinary Lu Ziqi still made Liu Lian feel very uneasy, she stuck behind Lu Ziqi as if hugging her from behind to protect her, for fear that someone would accidentally get close to Lu Ziqi and recognize her.

Lu Ziqi was carrying a backpack containing all her belongings in front of her, and Liu Lian's body was stuck behind her. At this moment, she was breathless like a sandwich cookie. After holding back for a while, Lu Ziqi, who couldn't hold back, poked Liu Lian with his elbow. Lotus belly.

"Hey, stay away from me, Nima is going to squeeze me to death."

Since Lu Ziqi was wearing a mask and her back was facing Liu Lian, Liu Lian who was behind couldn't hear Lu Ziqi's words at all, so she put her ear next to her cheek: "What did you just say? Keep your voice down, it won't hurt if someone recognizes you." alright."

Lu Ziqi rolled his eyes: "Back back, back up, you're squeezing me to death!"

"Oh." Liu Lian hurriedly moved back a little. Although it was a big step back in her eyes, to Lu Ziqi it was no different from just moving her body.

Lu Ziqi was speechless and didn't say anything more.

On the window seat a few meters away from Liu Lian and Lu Ziqi, two girls were whispering.

"Look carefully, I said she is Ziqi, you still don't believe me, do you see an obvious mole on her right hand?" Girl A turned on the screen saver of her phone and pointed to the photo of Lu Ziqi Said, "Look and see if it is the same mole in the same position."

Girl B looked at the phone and then took a closer look at Lu Ziqi's hand holding the ring. She was so excited that she almost screamed: "Wow——it's really Lu Ziqi——"

"Hush—you should keep your voice down." Girl A put her index finger to her mouth and made a hissing gesture, and then said in a low voice, "It would be bad if they were recognized, I still hope they can be free Together, free from the influence of reporters."

"Then the girl holding Lu Ziqi is her girlfriend? It's so beautiful, I want to cry, this is true love!" He said bravely, "My birthday wish the day before yesterday was to hope that Lu Ziqi could find her girlfriend as soon as possible. It seems that God really favors me, and I can see this scene with my own eyes in my lifetime."

Girl A proudly said: "I knew all the gossip posts about Ziqi's girlfriend on Tianya were deceitful, and Ziqi is not such a promiscuous person."

"Huh?" Liu Lian suddenly turned her head away.

Lu Ziqi asked, "What's wrong?"

"I seem to hear someone saying your name." Liu Lian said, "Could it be a prelude to being recognized?"

"Don't think too much about it. I'm so well armed that I barely cover my eyes and hands. Could it be that those people can recognize me just by looking at my hands?" Lu Ziqi suddenly changed the topic while talking, " By the way, didn’t you say there were only three or four stops? It seems like a long time has passed..."

"..." Liu Lian laughed a few times, "Look at the weather today..."

"Yes, the rhythm of the rain."

As if they had traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, Liu Lian and Lu Ziqi finally arrived home with their exhausted bodies. The crowded drive of more than an hour made them exhausted.Liu Lian's family lives in a small community, the landscaping and sanitation are not very good, there is a dirty wild cat at the gate of the community happily flipping through the trash can, and the trash can is directly dumped on the ground under the rummage of the wild cat , the leftover soup inside lay out.

"Ugh..." Lu Ziqi jumped so far that he almost threw up.

"Be patient, be patient and let it go." Liu Lian said with a smile, she knew in her heart that she would not let this young lady who had never suffered a lot come back with her.

Lu Ziqi glanced at Liu Lian, pursed his lips, and continued walking with a frown.

Liu Lian followed behind in obscurity.

Liu Lian's family lives on the fourth floor of an old private house, which was allocated to them by the school where Liu's father and mother worked. There is also a one-bedroom apartment that is still being rented out.

When you open the door, you can smell a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. The curtains in the room are tightly closed, and the old furnishings look a bit eerie. On the wall facing the door, there is a large vertical couplet. The four characters of "erudite learning and thoughtful thinking" written by myself with a brush.

Liu Lian knew that her parents were not at home when she saw that there were only two pairs of household slippers on the blanket in front of the door. She dug out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and changed them for herself and Lu Ziqi, and Liu Lian took them from Lu Ziqi's hands. She went into the house with her backpack and put it in the room where she used to sleep.

The layout of her bedroom is as simple as the layout of this house. There is a bed, a table, a chair and a cabinet, without any other extra decorations. The bed that has not slept in it for a long time is still clean. Liu Lian sat on it and lowered her head to sniff. You can also smell the faint fragrance of washing powder.

Everything is so familiar, even the desk lamp on the table, the books on the table that have not been sold after graduating from high school, and the photo frame with the family photo of Liu Lian's family of three... It's all like yesterday. In the blink of an eye, Liu Lian It seemed to be back to the night before she left home after receiving the notification from Nortel.

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and ten years have passed without knowing it.

Lu Ziqi folded his arms and leaned against the door, knocked on the door and said, "Aren't you going to call your parents?"

Liu Lian withdrew her thoughts, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, forced a smile to Lu Ziqi and said, "Why are you calling, they are still in class today and Thursday, and they should be back later."

"That's not necessarily true." Lu Ziqi curled his lips, "Go out and have a look, the living room, dining room and kitchen are all clean, I think it looks like they have traveled far away."

Hearing this, Liu Lian walked out of the bedroom and wandered around the room. Sure enough, as Lu Ziqi said, this is not how Liu's father and Liu mother usually are at home. Liu's mother put all the sofa covers on, and covered the tea table and dining table with tablecloths. , There is nothing in the refrigerator.

Liu Lian was a little panicked. Just as she was about to take out her mobile phone to call Liu Ma, the mobile phone rang in due course, and it was Liu Ma who called.

"Hey, Mom."

"Hey, your dad and I are currently at the Capital Airport. The director said that we can stay at your place tonight and meet again tomorrow morning. Is it far from your place to the Capital Airport? Is it convenient for you to pick us up?" Mama Liu was full of anger The voice came from the earpiece.

Liu Lian was stunned for a moment: "Mom...Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Your dad and I came to Beijing to play around." Mama Liu said, "You kid, why don't you react? Don't you welcome us?"

"What? You went to Beijing?" Liu Lian scratched her hair irritably, almost going crazy, "But I just arrived in Chengdu, and I just came back home, so I thought you guys had gone to class."

"What kind of class are you taking? The school organized a trip to Beijing to play. Your dad and I paid the money and signed up if we wanted to see it. Now we are here in Beijing." Liu Ma said.

Liu Lian said, "But I'm in Chengdu now..."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Lian slumped down on the sofa that was still covered with cloth, and she covered her face in depression and tears were about to come out: "I'm dizzy, it's so bad!"

Lu Ziqi said calmly, "Please speak Mandarin."

"My parents have gone to Beijing." Liu Lian said with a bitter face.

Lu Ziqi said, "How many days are they going to play?"

"A week."

"Then you send me to Wulong tomorrow and go back to Beijing." Recently, Lu Ziqi seemed to be becoming more and more reasonable. She sat next to Liu Lian, couldn't help touching Liu Lian's messy hair and said, "You It's not too late to go back to Beijing now, just come back with them when the time comes, and you can come to Wulong directly."

"Is it really possible?" Liu Lian's eyes lit up instantly.

Liu Lian curled her lips and nodded.

But in the next second Liu Lian became dejected again, sighed and said: "Hey, forget it, let's talk about this later, after all, I am working now, and I will come back to see my parents after you finish filming in Wulong , if you go straight away and Mr. Zhou finds out, maybe you won’t have to look for you again.”

"..." Lu Ziqi was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said, "I suddenly feel that you have another cute nickname besides 'how low'."

Liu Lian was puzzled: "What?"

Lu Ziqi said blankly: "Idiot." If you don't take the initiative to let you go, what is it if you are not an idiot?
