Prohibition of losing contact

Ge Xingren woke up, but Hun'er was still awake. When he first heard the news, before he could react in his heart, he listened to the phone and spoke again.

"No, forget it." Zhou Qingbai's tone was steady, but he seemed a little confused when he spoke. He seemed to have just remembered something, and took it back: "I forgot that Brother Wang is out of the market. ——If you pretend I didn’t say it, I’ll think of another way.”

As Zhou Qingbai said, he hung up the phone, threw the phone on the bed, turned it around twice like a grinder, and took a deep breath.

The earthquake in Southern Province happened just 10 minutes ago. It was a coincidence that Zhou Qingbai had a half-drink with Ge Xing last night. Forcibly pulled him out of the dream.

He didn't realize it in a daze, thinking that the company was looking for him for something urgent, squinting his eyes and touching his phone, he saw the earthquake push message that popped up on the app.

The brief introduction of the notification information was clear, there were only two lines of words on it, but Zhou Qingbai glanced at it and woke up instantly, with a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

He sat up from the bed almost like a conditioned reflex, and didn't care about the glare of the light. He hurriedly clicked on this news, and compared the area of ​​the disaster-stricken area on the news with Pei You's business trip route.

The earthquake in Nan Province seems to be very serious, and the coverage of the disasters on the hot search is still increasing. At first glance, the color map of the data covers almost half of Nan Province, and a large part of the area where Pei You traveled on business is also covered.

Pei You's business trip this time did not go to one village or town. Before he left, Zhou Qingbai had seen his business trip list, which almost spanned half of the province.

The joint work is trivial and complicated, and the infrastructure in some townships is not so good, and the signal is not very good, so Pei You can't report his whereabouts to Zhou Qingbai in real time. In a short chat with him casually mentioned.

The night before yesterday, Pei You mentioned it to him, saying that the account planning work of the district where he was located was basically completed at that time, and he was going to move on to the next point.But after this incident, nothing happened, so Zhou Qingbai couldn't be sure where Pei You was.

He immediately called Pei You, but he didn't know that Pei You was still in his sleep and was busy running for his life. Although the phone was connected, but no one answered it, it just rang for dozens of seconds , hang up automatically.

Zhou Qingbai turned around twice in place, took a few deep breaths to adjust his heartbeat, then turned his head to look at his phone, sat back on the bed, and called Pei You again.

This time, I don’t know if it’s because there is no signal or what, the call is not connected at all, and the call automatically jumps back to the lock screen page after a few seconds of blankness, and a short hang-up prompt tone is issued.

Zhou Qingbai failed to hear from Pei You for the second time, and his heartbeat that had calmed down began to speed up again.He sat on the edge of the bed holding his mobile phone in silence for a while, his mind blank.

Pei You should really be in the disaster area, Zhou Qingbai suddenly thought.

The nature of his work is special, so he must always be prepared to face temporary work, even if he is not waiting for Zhou Qingbai's call on purpose, he will always keep the communication open.

If he was in a safe area, even if the first call was asleep, the second call should have connected anyway.

Strange to say, Zhou Qingbai originally thought that he should be anxious, panicked, and run around all over the ground in a hurry to get angry, but in fact, at this moment, when he was convinced that Pei You was probably in danger, he was surprisingly calm.

His mind was blank, as if the emotional module had been cut off for a short time, he didn't think about anything for a while, just sat quietly by the bed, and stayed in a daze for 10 minutes.

The sky outside the window began to turn white, and the dark blue sky gradually turned pale gray. Zhou Qingbai slightly arched his body, resting his elbows on his knees, staring blankly at the seams of the floor.

The lights in the bedroom were not turned on, and the dim light fell on him, making him look like a silent sculpture.

After more than ten, twenty, ten minutes, Zhou Qingbai suddenly stood up as if the power was switched on again.

He strode into the bathroom with big strides, finished washing very quickly, then opened the closet door with dripping water dripping all over his body, and began to stuff clothes indiscriminately into the suitcase.

He stuffed it very quickly. He took off the hanger and put the shirts and T-shirts in with a single mind. After a few times, the neat wardrobe was destroyed as if it had been bombed.

He tidied up mechanically for a while before he realized something belatedly, and then threw out the suit shirts in the suitcase, leaving only sportswear and T-shirts and other clothes that were easy to move around.

He looked calm, but his heart was in a mess. He closed and opened the suitcase three times before he packed his suitcase. Then he put on his clothes indiscriminately, grabbed his phone and charger and went out.

During the half hour before Pei You's news, Zhou Qingbai had almost nothing else in his mind, only one thought lingered around.

Can I stay here and wait for the news, Zhou Qingbai asked himself, can I stay thousands of miles away, wait for the situation over there to stabilize, wait for Pei You to escape by himself, and then come back and report to him that he is safe.

Zhou Qingbai crossed out the idea in his mind without any hesitation.

He can't, he thought.

He really can't sit still in Beijing, he can only worry about the phone that can't respond, and he can't wait for Pei You to come back by himself, and say "God bless" in front of him calmly .

His desire to possess and protect made him eager to understand Pei You's current situation, to see him safe with his own eyes, and to take him away from that dangerous and turbulent area with his own hands—maybe he can't do anything there, but At least the freedom to work hard is in his own hands.

When Zhou Qingbai went out, it was just getting bright outside, and there were not many people on the street.

The sanitation workers had just left work, but the shop had been open for a long time, and the aroma of pasta spread along the street in the cool breeze, silently seducing every hungry morning shift worker.

Zhou Qingbai's heart was so congested that he couldn't eat anything, but he still bought a cup of soy milk in order to hurry, and then took a taxi to the airport.

The traffic in the southern province was suspended, Zhou Qingbai didn't dare to fly directly, so he chose the nearest airport in the neighboring province as his destination and booked a ticket.

The earliest morning flight at the airport is at 06:30 in the morning, and Zhou Qingbai will catch up. While waiting for the plane, Zhou Qingbai bought two energy bars, and then sat near the boarding gate and swiped his phone.

During this period of time, the whole city is waking up rapidly. Disaster news reaches everyone’s mobile phone in all directions along the Internet. People turned tens of thousands.

The flight boarding notification sounded quickly, and Zhou Qingbai found the contact information of the nearest rescue team according to Pei You's business trip route in his memory, and saved them, then sent Zhou Cangshan a WeChat message, and pressed the lock screen button.

The scattered travelers around him stood up following the notification tone, and Zhou Qingbai pulled his suitcase and gathered in the crowd, and walked forward slowly step by step, passing the boarding gate.

Before boarding the plane, he touched the neckline subconsciously, the emerald pendant on his neck stayed in place quietly, and gently touched the palm of Next Zhou Qingbai through a thin layer of clothing.

Zhou Qingbai touched it twice with a calm expression, then tightened the suitcase, bent down and entered the cabin.
