Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 79

Ye Qing originally asked the driver to take Gu Shian to him, but Gu Shian refused, saying that he would just take a taxi.

She called Chang Yu when she got in the car, but she didn't know if the phone was out of battery or what, the cold reminder on the phone was off.

Gu Shi'an didn't think much about it, and when he went back, he found that Chang was not there.The house was deserted, and the kitchen was also deserted, as if it hadn't been fired for a long time.But it's all clean.

She turned around and took out her cell phone to make a call.But it still didn't get through, and it still reminded that it was turned off.

Gu Shi'an was a little puzzled in his heart, there were not many places where he could go, and he didn't know if he went shopping or where he went.

She had thought she would come back soon and just stayed in the house.Who knew that after waiting for more than an hour, there was still no sign of Chang Ji.

It was past five o'clock, Gu Shi'an checked the time.Decided to visit the place where I usually live.She hasn't come back for so long, so she can only go back there.

She made up her mind and walked outside with the things she brought.Thinking that Chang Yu didn't come back so late, even if she wasn't at her own home, she was probably at Xiaohuzi's.

The sky outside was extremely dark, and the light in the corridor was dim.Gu Shi'an was about to lock the door when the door next door opened.

Auntie Zhang, the neighbor, came out, saw Gu Shi'an, smiled and said, "I'm finally back. Downstairs, your Uncle Zhang's daughter got married, and our building gave out wedding candies. If you come to see if you're not here, leave it on me." Here, who knows you have been away."

As she spoke, she took out an exquisite small box with the word "Hi" printed on it and handed it to Gu Shi'an.

Every family here has a happy event, and they will send wedding candy to the whole building.This is a habit that has been carried over from the past.

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, looked behind him, and said, "You mean, my friend isn't here either?"

Aunt Zhang looked at her suspiciously and said, "Aren't you all here? Didn't she go home for the New Year?"

Gu Shi'an's mind was a little messed up, and he forced a smile.After exchanging a few words with Aunt Zhang, I hurried downstairs.

Gu Shi'an's mind was a little messed up, Chang'an wasn't here all this time?Where did she go?Back to the courtyard?
But that day, she also asked when she would come back.She prepares in advance and gives her delicious food.If she wasn't here, why didn't she tell herself?

Gu Shi'an went downstairs quickly all the way, and after leaving the community, he took a taxi and went straight to Chang's former residence.On the way, she called Chang Ji again, but the phone was still turned off.

Gu Shi'an had some bad premonitions, and asked the driver to hurry up from time to time along the way.The driver was quite easy to talk to, seeing her in a hurry, he took a shortcut.

When they got to the ground, Gu Shi'an paid the money and got out of the car quickly.I went to Chang'an, but found that the door was closed.

She knocked on the door, but there seemed to be no one inside.There was no sound for a long time.

She continued to knock patiently, but there was still no sound from inside.There is no one inside.

Gu Shi'an just looked at the time, but didn't knock any more.She looked around, probably because of the Chinese New Year.The surrounding shops were all closed, and it was deserted.

She didn't wait any longer, and went to Xiao Huzi's house with her things.

Xiao Huzi's house is across the street from Chang's house, and compared to the deserted place on Chang's side, this side is very lively.The children set off firecrackers on the street, and the sound of laughter spread far and wide.

Xiaohuzi's family lived in a small courtyard, and several families lived in the courtyard at the same time.I don't know whose family washed the clothes, and the concrete floor in the yard was wet.

Seeing someone coming, everyone chatting in the yard looked over.Gu Shi'an and Chang had been here twice before, so he naturally knew which house Xiao Huzi lived in.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.

It was Xiao Huzi who opened the door, he was surprised to see Gu Shian.But then a smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Sister, why are you here?"

He was happy, and while talking, he dragged Gu Shi'an into the house.

There is only one faint yellow light in the house. The house is extremely simple, and a pot of water is burning on a small charcoal stove.

Gu Shi'an patted his head, smiled and said, "I haven't come over for the Chinese New Year, so I'll come to see you." She looked around and asked again, "Is your mother not here?"

Little Huzi poured her a glass of water and said, "My mother won't be back until later." He was a little shy, and then said, "It's a busy time during Chinese New Year. Will be back very late."

Yes, the wages during the Chinese New Year period are more.She must also be reluctant to rest.

Gu Shi'an felt a little sore in his heart, he reached out and touched the little tiger's head again, and said, "Then our little tiger is really good, we didn't go out to play."

Xiao Huzi now smiled shyly, and said, "My mother worked so hard because I was sick..." When he finished speaking, his face was filled with sadness.That's right, if it wasn't for his illness, how could the family be in debt.

He is much more sensible than his peers, Gu Shi'an sighed softly in his heart.Bring this topic over.Then he took out the snacks and other things he had brought over.

Little Huzi was still a child after all, his eyes lit up when he saw all kinds of food.But he still resisted not eating and let Gu Shi'an sit while he cooked.To keep her for dinner.

He was alone at home, and he was already cooking at the moment.

How could Gu Shi'an ask him to cook, so he stopped him and said, "Good boy, my sister won't eat for a few days. I'm here to look for Sister Chang, has she been looking for you during this time?"

Hearing that Gu Shi'an came to look for Chang'an, little Huzi showed doubts on his face.Said: "Miss Xiaoxiao didn't come over, didn't she go to live with you, sister? My mother called her to come over for the New Year and she didn't come. She only came once in the past few days and took me there. On the street, I was supposed to take me for a stroll, but I didn’t know what to do and left in a hurry.”

The bad premonition in Gu Shi'an's heart became stronger and stronger. She still wanted to ask something, but she was afraid that the little tiger would be worried.In the end, he still didn't ask anything, forced a smile, and brought this topic to the past.

She couldn't sit still for a second, and tried her best to control herself not to show any strangeness.After comforting Xiaohuzi a few words, he left in a hurry.

Chang's phone couldn't get through, and she didn't call again.Back to her little yard.

The door in the yard was still closed, and it was getting dark.But there was no light inside.Gu Shi'an reached out to knock on the door, but there was still no movement inside.

There was a drizzle of rain falling on his face, Gu Shi'an was so dazed, he suddenly realized that he knew very little about Chang'an, even at this moment, he didn't even know where to find her.

She leaned against the door and closed her eyes.

There was no clue in her mind at all, and she just waited at the door.But Chang Qi never came back.

She said that her father had returned, but she hadn't seen anyone.The lights in the courtyard were always dimmed.

Gu Shi'an was standing at the door the whole time, as if he didn't even feel the numbness of his body.After waiting until after eleven o'clock, she looked back at the small courtyard behind her, called Chang'an again, and then left.

Sitting in the car, she restrained herself from thinking about anything, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

It was already twelve o'clock when we got back to the old house, probably even Ye Qing was asleep, all lights in the old house were turned off.

Gu Shi'an took a deep breath before opening the door and entering.

She wanted to go upstairs quietly, but she didn't turn on the light.Who knew that as soon as he reached the stairs, the lights in the living room turned on all of a sudden.

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and saw Chen Xiao standing in the living room.

She didn't expect that he was still asleep, so she froze for a moment.Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you go?"

As he spoke, he raised his wrist to check the time.

Gu Shi'an was a little tired, so he said, "Go out for a while." She didn't ask why Chen Xiao wasn't asleep, and continued, "I'll go up first."

She said and went upstairs directly.Before Chen Xiao came back, she went into the bathroom.

Gu Shi'an's mind was so chaotic, she forced herself not to think about anything, she leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes, letting the hot water wash down her face.

She had no idea where Chang would go, except for Xiao Huzi's house, her small courtyard and her work place, she had no idea where else she could go.

But where she works, the boss goes home to celebrate the New Year, and she hasn't come back yet, so it is impossible for her to go there.

Gu Shi'an just leaned against the wall in a daze, until he was almost suffocated, then opened his eyes and started to take a bath.

When he went out, Chen Xiao had already come up.Probably because she was too obvious, he glanced at her from the sofa and asked, "Is there something on your mind?"

The relationship between Gu Shi'an and him is far from being able to talk about things.Besides, this matter is related to Chang'an.

She answered no.He wiped his hair, closed his eyes and lay down on the bed without blowing it.

Chen Xiao seemed unable to see that she didn't want to talk, so he glanced at her again, and said, "Don't act like you're dying, just tell me if you have anything, maybe I can find a way." He He paused slightly as he spoke, and then asked, "About work?"

His tone was lazy, obviously he didn't take Gu Shian's matter to heart.

But he is a little different today. The previous him would never ask about such things.

Gu Shi'an still kept his eyes closed, and replied without thinking, "No."

Chen Xiao snorted now, but didn't ask any more questions.

He didn't know what to do, and he didn't sleep all the time.The light dazzled Gu Shian's eyes, and Gu Shi'an was a little anxious, so he pulled up the quilt to cover his head.

Chen Ying should have noticed it, but he turned off the light and went to bed after a while.

As if he knew that Gu Shian was not asleep, he snorted and said, "The sky is falling and there is a tall man holding it up, what are you worried about?"

He probably thought that Gu Shi'an was a matter of work.

The sound of his snort was a bit harsh, Gu Shi'an was already irritable, and when he heard his words, he pulled the quilt off, and said coldly, "Since when did you start meddling in your own business?"

But no, her affairs have always been nostalgic to him.

Chen Xiao wasn't angry at all, he chuckled lightly, moved closer to Gu Shi'an, and said, "My wife's business is my business. How can it be nosy?"

There was some amusement in his tone.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes and ignored him.

Chen Xiao was somewhat disinterested, so he no longer bored himself.

Gu Shi'an didn't have any clue about Chang'an's matter at all. It was late at night, and the room was extremely quiet, but she didn't feel any sleepiness until it was dawn, when she fell asleep in a daze.

She was worried about the usual, and got up after less than three hours of sleep.It was only when she went to the bathroom to wash up that she noticed the bruises under her eyes. She applied a hot towel to it, and then went downstairs.

It was still early, and the old lady hadn't woken up yet.Ye Qing got up early, and when he saw Gu Shi'an, he asked her when she came back last night.

She called Gu Shi'an last night, and Gu Shi'an prevaricated by saying that he met a friend and might come back later.

She asked without waiting for Gu Shian to speak, looked at her, then smiled and continued, "I was going to sleep after you came back, but Ah Xiao told me to go to bed when I heard that you were coming back late, saying it was him. Just wait for you. He hasn't slept yet when you come back?"

Ye Qing was very happy to see the relationship between the two of them, and he smiled.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect that Chen Xiao was waiting for her to come back, so he was slightly startled.She smiled and said she was not asleep, paused for a while, and said, "Aunt Ye, my friend is still in the hotel, I might have to go there."

Ye Qing didn't doubt anything, and said: "You go, I will tell the old lady when she gets up."

Gu Shi'an was in a hurry to go out, thanked her, stood up for a while and hurried out without even eating breakfast.

Chang's phone still couldn't get through, she was at a loss and didn't know where to find Chang.I plan to go back to the old house to have a look first, and then go to Chang's small courtyard.

It was still early, it had been drizzling all night and the morning was foggy.Gu Shi'an originally planned to go to the side of the road to take a car.Unexpectedly, before walking a few steps, there was the sound of a car coming from behind.

She turned her head, and Chen Xiao, who was clearly still asleep when she left, rolled down the car window, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and said lazily: "I'm going out too, where are you going, I'll see you off."

Without even thinking about it, Gu Shi'an said, "No, I can take the car myself."

Chen Xiao didn't speak, but just looked at her with a smile.After dozens of seconds, he raised his wrist to check the time and said, "Do you want me to come down and invite you?"

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, stepped forward a few steps, opened the door and got into the car.

Early in the morning, Chen Xiao was also very addicted to cigarettes. He took out a cigarette to light it, and said lazily, "Where are you going?"

He has always been a difficult person, Gu Shi'an was silent for a moment, and then said: "Just let me go."

Chen Xiao glanced at her, but didn't speak.

There were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road in the early morning. After driving for a while, Chen Xiao suddenly pulled over and stopped.He didn't bother to look at Gu Shi'an, and said lazily, "I'm hungry, let's go after breakfast."

As he spoke, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Gu Shi'an originally didn't intend to let him see him off, but when he saw him get out of the car, he also got out of the car.Said: "I'll go first."

Chen Xiao locked the car, looked at her with a smile on his face, and said, "Are you sure you don't want to come? Don't regret it if you don't come."

What he said was meaningful, as if he knew something.

Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused, and when he turned around, Chen Xiao had already walked towards the breakfast shop not far away.

Gu Shi'an blinked on the spot for a while, but still followed.

At this time, there were not many people in the breakfast shop, and Chen Xiao had already sat down when she passed by.Lighting something.

This breakfast shop is mainly engaged in porridge, and there are various flavors of porridge.The second is noodles.Chen Xiao's appetite was very good, so he ordered some in one breath, and then gave the order to the waiter.

What he said just now was unclear, but now he seemed to be okay, poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Gu Shi'an glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Chen Xiao shrugged innocently, looked at Gu Shi'an and asked, "What do you mean?"

He is cheating like this.Gu Shi'an was anxious, his tone became stiff unconsciously, and he said, "Didn't you say that I don't regret it if I don't come?"

Chen Xiao let out an oh right now, just as the waiter served porridge and pasta.He pushed it in front of Gu Shi'an, and said slowly: "This shop's porridge and noodles are very famous in the neighborhood. It's rare that there are few people today. If it was before, it would have been lined up on the side of the road. If you pass by, you won't come in." Eat, you won’t regret it.” He raised his eyebrows and said, “Try it?”

He has always been good at playing dumb.Then he picked up the spoon and drank the porridge slowly.

Gu Shi'an didn't have any appetite, so he didn't go to eat, he stood up and was about to leave.

After walking two steps, Chen Xiao who was behind said slowly, "Even if you go back, you won't find anyone."

Gu Shi'an turned his head to look at him now, and sat down again in his seat.He stopped going around in circles and asked directly, "Do you know where Chang is?"

She just stared at Chen Xiao so closely, as if she wanted to see something from his face.

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but a bit of tiredness appeared on her face.She wanted to say something, but she didn't say it until the end, she just asked Chen Xiao: "Where is she?"

Chen Xiao didn't answer her, but looked at her with a smile on his face, and said, "Are you doubting me?"

There was evil on his face, and there was some playfulness in his tone.

His behavior is a sign of anger.

Gu Shi'an pursed his lips, but said nothing.After a few seconds, he said stiffly, "No."

With Chen Xiao's previous personality, he would not let it go.Today, he didn't get angry, picked up the spoon again, and said, "Eat breakfast first."

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, picked up the spoon and ate the porridge in front of him.

The more Chen Xiao was like this, the more uneasy she felt.She has no appetite, and she doesn't even know how she finished a bowl of porridge.

Chen Xiao ordered a large table, but didn't eat much afterward.He just looked at Gu Shi'an indifferently.

After waiting for the porridge in Gu Shi'an's bowl to finish, he stood up and walked outside.

Gu Shi'an also stood up and followed him outside.

After getting into the car, Chen Xiao gave her a half-smile and said, "So I'm just a despicable person in your eyes."

There was a hint of playfulness in his tone.

Gu Shi'an wanted to say no, but just now, she really doubted Chen Xiao.If this... had nothing to do with him, how would he know?
She still froze and said no.

Chen Xiao scoffed.He didn't pursue the matter any further.

The car drove all the way, Gu Shi'an originally wanted to drive to the city, but he didn't.Once in the city center he drove north.

The streets on both sides became more and more unfamiliar, Gu Shian was silent for a while, and then asked, "Where are we going?"

Chen Xiao glanced at her with a smile on his face, and said, "If you're afraid of being sold out, there's still time to get out of the car."

His words are really full of thorns anytime and anywhere.

The more remote the car drove, the more uneasy Gu Shi'an felt.After hesitating for a while, he finally asked again: "Changji... where is she?"

Chen Xiao still looked like he was about to smile, and said: "She doesn't need you to worry about. Do you think she is the same as you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.He glanced at it, picked it up, and gave a feed.

He didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but he quickly said he understood, and then hung up the phone.

The car drove for another ten minutes before Gu Shi'an realized that this was the old town.Chen Xiao looked ahead, found an inconspicuous place and stopped the car.

He quickly opened the door and got out of the car, took out a peaked cap from nowhere, put it on Gu Shian's head with his backhand, and said flatly: "Follow me later, don't talk."

It is quiet here, and there are few passers-by.

Gu Shi'an nodded, and Chen Xiao took out another peaked cap and put it on, checked the direction, and then walked forward.

There are alleys all the way.The houses around are old, all old houses.The old houses are next to each other, and the strange thing is that there are no people there.Gu Shi'an inexplicably felt a little nervous in such silence.

As if feeling her nervousness, Chen Xiao paused for a while, and waited for her to come to stand beside him, reached out and patted her on the head, smiled lowly, and said, "You're really a good boy!" .”

His tone was a little different from usual.After a slight pause, he glanced at Gu Shi'an, and then asked, "What are you going to do if you see Chang Yan later?"

Gu Shi'an hadn't thought about this question, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment.In her subconscious mind, she always thought that something must have happened to Chang Ji.But it never occurred to her that she was herself...

Gu Shi'an didn't speak for a while, Chen Xiao gave her a playful look, but didn't force her, and continued to lead her forward.
