heavy evening light

On the table was food brought by Xi Yuancheng, but Xi Nan didn't have much appetite, so he didn't move anything.

He sat on the sofa, his eyes fell on the wall clock on the wall, seeing that today was almost over, he couldn't help looking at Xi Yuancheng who was playing video by the window.

This was the third day he didn't go to school, and it was also the third day he lost contact with Xiang Wanguang.

Xi Nan lowered his eyes, thinking that this is already the limit, and he can't let things go on like this, even if he knows that Cui Rong has probably explained everything to Xiang Wanguang, that won't work.

On the third day without seeing Xiang Wanguang, Xi Nan was very irritable.

Not far away, Xi Yuancheng didn't know who he was videoing with, and his tone was a bit softer than usual. Xi Nan glanced at him again, not paying any attention to the person who was chatting with him, just thinking about how to get out later .

The hotel is in the city center, a little far away from No. [-] Middle School, and he lives on the top floor, so it's not easy to go out for a trip.However, Xi Yuancheng was on the phone, and the bodyguards he had invited had been sent elsewhere by Xi Yuancheng in the past two days, so there was only one person guarding the door.

If there is only one person, it is not too difficult to deal with.

Xi Nan touched the things in his pocket, stood up and walked towards the door, while Xi Yuancheng was still talking to the person on the computer side, as if he didn't notice Xi Nan's movements.

But in a corner that Xi Nan couldn't see, Xi Yuancheng's eyes kept falling on him. Even after he opened the door and got entangled with the bodyguard at the door, Xi Yuancheng gestured to the bodyguard so that he could run away smoothly. go out.

"Where's Xi Nan?" Yuan Ran on the computer side was still in the background, and when he heard Xi Yuancheng's voice, he asked casually.

Xi Yuancheng glanced at the food on the tea table that was barely moving, and then remembered Xi Nan's state these days, smiled and said, "I ran out to find someone."

Yuan Ran frowned, disapproving of Xi Yuancheng letting him out just like that.But Xi Yuancheng smiled reassuringly, thinking of the information sent by his assistant, he said, "You will not die until the Yellow River, let him go out for a walk, and then you will know the best choice."

Hearing this, Yuanran didn't ask any more questions, but said, "The school here has already been contacted, just wait for Xi Nan to come over."

"it is good."

At the same time, Xi Nan, who ran out of the hotel desperately, saw that no one was chasing him, so he dared to relax a little, stopped a car on the side of the road, and went straight to the place where Xiang Wanguang was chasing, fearing that he would miss Xiang Wanguang if he slowed down .

But when Xi Nan got out of the car and rushed to the place where Xiang Wanguang lived, what he saw was a locked door, no matter how hard he knocked on the door, he didn't hear anyone answer from inside.

Xi Nan was startled, and hurried downstairs. In the canteen at the entrance of the alley, he called Xiang Wanguang on his landline, but he never answered.

Unbelievable, Xi Nan called several times again, but the answer he got was the same as the first time, and no one answered.Now Xi Nan became nervous, thinking something happened to Xiang Wanguang.

The mobile phone was confiscated by Xi Yuancheng a few days ago, and this time Xi Nan ran out and failed to get the mobile phone, let alone contact others.

Xi Nan didn't waste any more time in the alley, after paying the money, he took a taxi and went straight to the milk tea shop, thinking that Xiang Wanguang would be here.But what disappointed him once again was that the milk tea shop, which is usually very good and rarely closes, is not only closed now, but even hangs a sign on the door saying that it is temporarily closed.

But unexpectedly, he met Cui Rong.

Cui Wei was also taken aback when he saw Xi Nan, but then he reacted quickly, dragged Xi Nan, who was still standing stupidly at the entrance of the milk tea shop, into a restaurant beside him, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Xi Nan asked instead, "Where's Xiang Wanguang?"

Cui Rong didn't answer Xi Nan's question, but said nervously, "Go back quickly, we'll talk about it later."

But how can Xi Nan listen to Cui Rong's words, his mind is full of Xiang Wanguang's disappearance, and this alone can drive him crazy.

"Do you know that the rumors about you are already flying all over the sky?" Cui Rong stopped Xi Nan who was about to go out, and growled, "Now if they see you, you will take the initiative to give away your head and become their talking point .”

Xi Nan patted Cui Rao's hand away, turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "So?"

"You think I'm afraid of this?" Xi Nan laughed and continued, "I'm the one who talks about love, so I don't need to be influenced by others?"

"..." Hearing this, Cui Rong looked helpless, and let go of Xi Nan's shoulder.

Xi Nan turned around, looked directly into Cui Rong's eyes, and asked him again, "Where is Xiang Wanguang? I can't find him."

Cui Rong heard the anxiety in Xi Nan's words, then raised his eyes to look at Xi Nan who was staring at him, and smiled helplessly, thinking that he probably owed Xi Nan in his previous life, so that he would always be there in this life. Xi Nan is deflated here.

"Three days ago, Xiang Wanguang answered a phone call and left," Cui Rong said. "I didn't know who it was at the time. I didn't realize it was your father until he left."

Xi Yuancheng will go to find Xiang Wanguang, Xi Nan is not surprised at all, "And then?"

"I was close when Xiang Wanguang answered the phone, and I heard clearly where the two of you made an appointment, so after Xiang Wanguang left, I was afraid that you wanted to know the situation, so I took a taxi and followed." Cui Wei said slowly, " They went to a teahouse, and I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I didn't go."

Xi Nan frowned, thinking of what Xi Yuancheng said to him when he came back three days ago, he couldn't help but start to guess what Xi Yuancheng and Xiang Wanguang talked about.

But soon Xi Nan lost the energy to think about this, because Cui Rong's next words made his eyelids twitch.

"But what is certain is that Xiang Wanguang was in a bad condition when he came out," Cui Rong said, "and he took a taxi directly back to his place of residence."

"I didn't think much about it at first, thinking that he answered your call when he went back, but the next day, when the rumors of the No. [-] Middle School became more and more outrageous, and I didn't see you contacting me, I realized that things were different." Cui Wei Looking up at Xi Nan, he said in a heavy tone, "But at this time, I can't find Xiang Wanguang, and the milk tea shop is also closed."

Cui Rong sighed, looked at Xi Nan's face, and added the last half of the news, "When I asked again, Xiang Wanguang had already gone home by car."

Hearing this, Xi Nan paused, his face was slightly stiff, and he looked at Cui Rong without speaking.

When Xiang Wanguang went home at this time, the reasons Xi Nan could think of were not much better, nothing more than something happened at home.And at this moment, the only thing Xi Nan could think about that could happen to the Xiang family was the two of them.

But when Xi Nan rushed to Xiang Wanguang's hometown, Xi Nan realized that the matter was far more serious than he imagined.

"You...what did you say?" Xi Nan's voice trembled, and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Cui Rong held down Xi Nan who was emotional, looked at the villagers in front of him who were talking more and more vigorously, and interrupted her, "What's wrong with the Xiang family?"

The woman glanced at the two of them, and didn't hide them because they were outsiders, and told all the secrets of the village, "The eldest son of the Xiang family has been the pride of our village since he was a child. Who doesn't envy the Xiang family and his wife?" Raised such an excellent son." The woman smiled and gossiped, "Who would have thought that he would start liking men after a few years of going out?"

The woman's tone was full of disbelief, and at the same time, her eyes were slightly disgusted, "It's against the ancestors and morals to like men. Now Xiang's family can no longer hold up his head in the village." Xi Nan, who was getting worse and worse, looked around and persuaded, "If you are going to Xiang's family, I advise you not to go. The Xiang family's reputation is not good now, and you will only get a mess if you go."

Cui Rong's face froze when he heard the woman's words, and was about to accuse him of being wrong, when Xi Nan, who had been silent until now, said, "Where did you hear that?"

"Everyone in the village knows about it," said the woman.

Xi Nan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were fixed on the woman, and he repeated what he had just said.The rural women didn't have much knowledge. Seeing Xi Nan's serious expression, they were a little flustered for a while, and didn't think about showing off. Instead, they revealed everything they knew.

"Just two days ago, the grandson of the old grandson's family came home and brought a classmate back, and then everyone...knew about it." The woman said, "The grandson of the old grandson's family is studying at the school next to where the kid from the Xiang family works. So get some news."

The two looked serious before meeting each other.

Without saying a word, the rural woman hesitated for a while, and then quickly said, "The boy who came back with the old Sun's child, seems to be called Li...Li Shu?"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Xi Nan understood everything.It's just that Xi Nan never expected that Li Shu would be dissatisfied after making things big in No. [-] Middle School, and even stabbed the matter to Xiang Wanguang's hometown.

Seeing that Xi Nan clenched his hands into fists and his cheeks were still trembling, Cui Rong quickly put his hands on his shoulders to signal Xi Nan to calm down. At the same time, he turned his head and said something to the woman, and then pulled Xi Nan away, fearing that he would do something wrong. uncontrollable things.

Xi Nan let Cui Rao pull him for a while, and after ensuring a certain distance from the woman, he shook off Cui Rao's hand, "Give me the phone."

"What are you going to do?" Cui Rong didn't dare to give Xi Nan the phone easily, and asked one more question.

Xi Nan didn't answer his question, but kept repeating what he had said, and asked Cui Rong to give him the phone.

Cui Rong remained silent, staring at Xi Nan's eyes that were getting redder, feeling sorry for him, "Xi Nan, calm down."

"How do you want me to calm down?" Xi Nan's voice suddenly became louder, "Xiang Wanguang can't be contacted, and this happened at his house, how can I calm down?"

Xi Nan clenched his teeth, controlling his thoughts and not allowing himself to think about it, for fear of breaking down emotionally.However, it was about Xiang Wanguang, how could Xi Nan be as calm as he thought.

So at this moment, Xi Nan's mind is full of Xiang Wanguang, and as soon as he stops, he can't help but think about what is going on with Xiang Wanguang now.Xi Nan didn't dare to think about Shao Fang, afraid of seeing her disappointed expression, but what scared Xi Nan even more was that Shao Fang, like Xi Yuancheng, forced the two of them to separate.

It's just that Xi Nan at this time doesn't know that good things don't necessarily follow each other, but bad things do happen together.

"Didn't you come to Xiang Wanguang's house? Then go to his house and look for him." Cui Rao said loudly, "Wouldn't it be easy to talk about everything after going to his house?"

Xi Nan raised his head, pulled away from the chaotic emotions, managed to wake up, and turned to go to Xiang Wanguang's house.But when he turned around, he saw an acquaintance.

"...Brother Xi Nan?" Xiang Chuqiu looked at Xi Nan in surprise, wearing a school uniform and holding a big bag in his hand.

Seeing Xiang Chuqiu, Xi Nan's heart that had been hanging high finally eased a little, and then, as if seeing a savior, he staggered towards Chu Qiu, grabbed his arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Where's your brother?"

Before Xiang Chuqiu could speak, Xi Nan twitched the corners of his mouth, tried his best to raise a smile, and said, "something happened here, and I can't contact your brother for the time being, can you take me to see him?"

Standing by the side, Cui Rong glanced at the fragility in Xi Nan's eyes and understood the panic on his face, and immediately wanted to say that love is really the deadliest weapon in the world.Xi Nan, who once seemed to be wearing impeccable armor, now has no image at all, because he threw away his armor and armor to Wanguang, revealing his most vulnerable place, but he is still willing.

Seeing that Xiang Chuqiu didn't speak, Xi Nan thought that he was influenced by the rumors in the village and was about to explain, so he heard Xiang Chuqiu say, "It's okay, Brother Xi Nan."

"The country people talk badly. The whole village knows what happened to someone's family, but in fact, everyone has no malicious intentions." Xiang Chuqiu explained lightly, and then said, "As for why I can't contact my brother, probably..."

Xiang Chuqiu paused before saying, "Because he really doesn't have time."
