After a while, Jiang Sui realized that Chi Yiming’s decision to live in the compound was just a whim.
He just occupied the residence of Zhao Songshi and his wife, but he seldom went to live there. He seemed to be very busy and sometimes he didn’t even come to class.
When the weather grew colder in November, Sun Xiaowei was forced to move.
After all, the Sun family couldn’t stay in the old compound forever, but Sun Xiaowei was stubborn and unwilling to leave. Even after being beaten up by Sun Chen, he still refused to give in, until his grandfather became seriously ill and he had to leave the compound.
After Jiang Sui found out, she personally made a lot of delicious food for him.
In November, all the flowers in front of her window withered, so she brought some green ivy and some succulents from home and brought them to Sun Xiaowei.
This green ivy was brought by Sun Xiaowei from the flower market when he went traveling two years ago and was later taken good care of by Jiang Sui.
Sun Xiaowei squatted at the door of her house, like a big dog that no one wanted.
Jiang Sui couldn’t help but soften her heart: “Sun Xiaowei, these are for you. You know there are not many good things in my house. Just consider these as a token of my appreciation.”
Sun Xiaowei lowered his head: “Who wants the flowers in your house? These are ugly and can’t be kept alive by me, huh.” The succulents she had given him as a gift were killed by Sun Xiaowei watering them every day.
Jiang Sui ignored his awkwardness and squatted down with him. Her eyes were gentle as she smiled and said: “I heard your new home is very fun, don’t be sad.”
He suddenly looked up, his eyes having turned red: “Will you miss me when I leave?”
Jiang Sui said softly, “Yes.”
She would miss the irritable boy who beat Duan Ling for her when they were young, and who watered the succulent plants clumsily and accidentally killed them. She was grateful that he was always in her memory.
Sun Xiaowei saw the tenderness in her eyes and this time he didn’t blush. He just felt sad.
The boy said awkwardly: “I don’t hate you, I like you very much.”
Jiang Sui smiled: “Yeah, I know.”
Sun Xiaowei glared at her angrily: “Is that it? Why don’t you say anything else?” Give me an answer whether you agree or not.
Jiang Sui shook her head and said slowly, “If I said it, you would be angry.”
Sun Xiaowei lost his temper and jumped up from the ground: “Shut up, don’t say anything!”
“…”
He ran a long way then rushed back to take the gift that Jiang Sui prepared for him.
He said, “Don’t say anything.” If you don’t say anything, I can deceive myself and lie to myself a little longer.
Jiang Sui sat on the steps at the door.
The sky was pale, and the green tiles of the courtyard were old. Jiang Sui felt a little melancholy about her youth going away, until she heard a faint sneer beside her.
Jiang Sui turned around and saw Chi Yiming.
He walked over and squatted in front of her. Jiang Sui frowned and was about to stand up when he pressed down on her shoulder with one hand.
The girl had slender shoulders.
Then he said, “You’re so nice to that idiot, but so bad to me? What did you do when I said goodbye to you? You smiled?”
Jiang Sui said: “You remembered it wrong.”
“I have a good memory. You know I can’t eat spicy food, but you still put chili in it?” He bared his teeth at her and threatened her, “Let me think about it. You treated me like that, and I still haven’t settled the score with you yet.”
The girl stared at him with her peach blossom eyes, and Chi Yiming finally laughed out loud: “Tsk, why don’t you be my wife?”
She stood up suddenly, and Chi Yiming’s chin was hit by her head, until he almost bit his tongue. Chi Yiming’s face turned pale from the pain: “Jiang Sui! Do you practice iron head skills?”
Jiang Sui’s answer was to slam the door shut behind her and bolt it.
She decided to get a dog another day.
Her father had not gotten sick in this life, so she didn’t need to compromise and please him.
Chi Yiming should have been angry, but he kicked her door and then smiled while acting angry.
His chin was probably bruised from being hit by the girl’s head, but no matter how rudely she treated him, Chi Yiming just wanted to pinch her cheeks and make her beg for mercy in tears.
Winter vacation would be here soon.
This year was different from previous years. Jiang Sui could no longer go to her uncle’s house for the New Year because Jiang Xue was working. So even if Jiang Sui went to her uncle’s house, it would be extremely boring.
“Isn’t Sister Xue coming home for the New Year?”
“There’s nothing we can do,” the uncle sighed, “This wild girl said she wanted to film a show, and she’s busy during the New Year.”
Jiang Sui knew about this. Jiang Xue studied photography in college and often traveled around with a SLR camera.
However, before the New Year, the news that came made her uncle feel like the sky was falling – Jiang Xue was carrying a SLR camera to shoot a variety show, but she got lost in the mountains. The program crew had been sending people to look for her, but no one had found her so far.
Her uncle didn’t even dare to tell her aunt as she had a heart disease. He only anxiously and painfully told Jiang Shuisheng and Jiang Sui the news.
Jiang Sui was also shocked. Her uncle and father had already decided to go to the next city to find Jiang Xue.
Since it concerned her cousin, Jiang Sui didn’t want to wait at home and also wanted to go with them to look for her.
It took time to file a missing person case, and it was the New Year so the police was short on manpower. More people meant more hope.
The group immediately bought tickets to the next city.
They set out in the afternoon and arrived at the program crew by the evening.
On the way, Jiang Sui also called the production team to find out the situation. It turned out that this production team was just a small variety show being shot to attract attention. They could only invite some young and handsome guys to create topics. But who would watch these unknown young and handsome guys singing and dancing? But if they were to create popularity through adventure and treasure hunting, it might not be the same.
So they came to this barren mountain.
The salary offered by the program team was not high, so few people were willing to record and follow the filming. Jiang Xue came voluntarily because the person she wanted to film was Gao Jun. As a result, an accident happened, and Jiang Xue, Gao Jun, and another staff member had not returned yet.
Gao Jun had no relatives, and now only Jiang Xue and the staff member’s family were anxiously looking for them.
However, no one dared to go in at night, so they could only go into the mountains to look for people during the day.
As soon as the sun rose, everyone went into the mountains to look for people. The director said, “I called the police, but this place is very remote, and they have not been missing for long, so we can’t file a missing persons case.”
Everyone was silent and could only be thankful that it had snowed, so the wild animals must have gone into hibernation. This production crew really didn’t want to get criticized just for the sake of popularity.
The barren mountains were enormous, the pine trees were covered with a thick layer of snow, and the whole world was covered with ice and snow.
To make matters worse, Jiang Shuisheng started coughing. Everyone advised him to go back and rest, but he insisted on looking for Jiang Xue.
In the end, it was Jiang Sui who persuaded him to go back: “If Sister Xue comes back, we won’t know about it. Someone has to watch over here and inform everyone.”
The area was too large, so everyone had to search separately. However, in order to provide support, each group was divided into two people, and Jiang Sui was assigned to a group with a round-faced boy.
The boy’s name was Song Di. He blushed and glanced at Jiang Sui, comforting her: “Your sister will be fine. The snow is very slippery. Be careful not to fall.”
Song Di thought, Jiang Xue is pretty, but I didn’t expect her sister to be so stunning! She is much prettier than the little celebrity recording in the program team!
Jiang Sui was in a bad mood and did not respond to his comfort. She just kept calling out for Jiang Xue.
She almost shouted herself hoarse, but still couldn’t get any response.
After walking since morning, all the water and bread in the backpack were gone. Song Di kept looking at the snow, feeling nervous, but he was too embarrassed to say the words “go back” in front of the beauty.
After looking at the snow for too long, people’s eyes got dazzled. Just as Song Di opened his mouth to speak, his feet collapsed and he lost weight and fell to the ground.
Jiang Sui also fell down.
There was a stone cave under the snow, more than three meters deep. She felt the stone digging into her knees and felt as if her bones were about to fall apart. The heavy snow covered the road, and they actually fell through it.
Song Di groaned and Jiang Sui looked ahead, then her eyes widened in fear, and she quickly covered his mouth.
Song Di who was in so much pain: “???”
He looked in the direction Jiang Sui’s bright eyes were looking in and saw a python as thick as his thigh coiled up in hibernation. Song Di broke out in cold sweat, and his hands and feet became stiff.
He reached for his cell phone tremblingly, only to find there was no signal.
Snow was falling above their heads and there was a foul smell in the cave.
This kind of discomfort was completely different from the time when Duan Ling played a prank on her. Jiang Sui’s face turned pale and she looked a little desperate. Song Di no longer cared about his image and collapsed to the ground.
In this kind of weather and road conditions, they dared not move. Who would come to rescue them?
Shui Yang watched Chi Yan drive out.
Chi Yan’s face was very cold and his profile was resolute. The words Chi Yan said two days ago that he no longer liked her were still ringing in his ears, and today he was going to go find her.
The area around Pengluo Mountain may not be known to others, but people who were well versed in geography must know it. The geographical environment there was too dangerous. Although it was not as dangerous as Hengxia Island, there was a reason why it had become a barren mountain.
After this incident, Shui Yang realized that Chi Yan’s words of letting her go were just talk.
However, if Chi Yan wanted to find someone, he had to go by himself, as Shui Yang had to stay behind to keep it a secret for him.
After all, this was not a vacation, this was a life-threatening trip. Shui Yang thought about what might be on the mountain, shuddered, and sighed deeply as he watched his boss drive away.
Even if you go there, people won’t like you. Chi Yan knew it clearly, but he still went. Wasn’t that stupid?
Shui Yang went to the club and booked a private room, pretending that he and the boss were having a great time during the New Year.
Jiang Sui sat hugging her knees. A layer of snow fell on her shoulders, soaking her clothes and making her feel cold.
Song Di was shaking and struggling with his phone, cursing the program crew in his heart. Maybe Jiang Xue and the others had disappeared in the same way.
It was getting dark, and in fact, it was impossible to get down the mountain now.
Jiang Sui was so cold that she lost consciousness. She hugged herself tightly, feeling lonely and scared for the first time.
So much so that when she heard footsteps overhead, she thought it was an illusion.
