Behind me, there was a slight sound of footsteps, followed by a faint scent of a woman, which disappeared in the slightly salty sea breeze...
silence…
Both of them looked at the sea in front of them, and no one spoke.
"I'm sorry!" Yu Xiao was the first to speak.
"Why do you say sorry to me?" Hearing such unexpected words, An Jingya turned her head in confusion and looked at Yu Xiao with a cold expression. Today, she looked less weak and more indifferent.
"I stole your boyfriend, shouldn't I say sorry?" Yu Xiao answered calmly, looking ahead.
"Xiaoxiao..." It was the first time that An Jingya heard Yu Xiao say this, and her eyes inexplicably turned red. All the grievances came to her heart, and tears kept rolling in the depths of her eyes.
"How about we... make a deal?"
"What, what deal?" An Jingya looked at her in surprise, surprised that she would say such a thing.
Yu Xiao turned to look at her and said with a faint smile: "Tell me the truth of seven years ago, and I will return my boyfriend to you!"
"You, what did you say?" An Jingya looked at Yu Xiao in surprise, and for a moment she seemed a little dazed.
Yu Xiao took a deep breath, looked at the sea in front of him and said emotionlessly: "I know Kang Shaonan has never loved me. He only married me because he sympathized with me and felt sorry for me. I am still young and have plenty of opportunities. I don't want to continue to waste time with him. As long as you tell me the truth of seven years ago, I will divorce him!"
"You, how do you know... that he doesn't love you?" Yu Xiao's words made An Jingya a little nervous.
"Tell me the truth! Nothing else matters to me now!" Yu Xiao turned his head and looked at An Jingya. There was no expression on her delicate little face. Only she herself knew what kind of torment she was enduring deep in her heart.
"You... are you really going to divorce Shaonan?" An Jingya asked uncertainly.
"I know that Sister Jingya has always loved him. If I had known this before I got married, I would never have married him! I have no other requests, Sister Jingya, can you tell me the truth?" Yu Xiao looked at An Jingya pleadingly.
"I... I... I'm sorry! I can't say it! I can't say it!" An Jingya shook her head with a confused look in her eyes. Although this deal was full of temptation for her, looking at Yu Xiao's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to tell the past.
"Why can't you tell me? What happened seven years ago? Sister Jingya, don't you like Kang Shaonan? As long as you tell me the truth, I will return him to you. Please, Sister Jingya, tell me, okay?" Yu Xiao held An Jingya's arms tightly and looked at her pleadingly. If An Jingya refused to say anything, she might never know what happened seven years ago.
Looking into Yu Xiao's eyes, An Jingya swallowed her saliva in confusion. After a few seconds of silence, she gritted her teeth and replied, "Xiao Xiao, actually seven years ago..."
Yu Xiao stared at An Jingya nervously, afraid that he would miss any word, so much so that An Jingya felt a little painful because of his clenched hands. "Sister Jingya, what was it seven years ago? Tell me?"
"Yes, I'm sorry! Xiaoxiao, I don't know the details. I, I have something else to do. I'll leave first..." An Jingya finally swallowed back what she wanted to say. She pushed Yu Xiao's hand away, turned around and ran away quickly.
"Sister Jingya! Sister Jingya!" Yu Xiao chased her for a distance until she reached the side of the road. She watched An Jingya get into a taxi and leave. Her body went limp and she collapsed on the sidewalk.
Tears welled up again, blurring my vision.
I really want to know what happened seven years ago and why everyone who knew about it kept silent about it
Why? Why? Why
There was a creaking sound next to her ear, and the next second she heard the car door open. Suddenly, several dark shadows appeared in front of her. Before she could react, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes.
The world suddenly became dark, turned upside down, and finally, there was silence...
Ren Zhiping originally thought that her daughter would definitely come back in the afternoon after going out to relax, but she waited until six o'clock in the evening. She called Yu Xiao again and again, but all she heard was that the other party's phone was turned off. Thinking of their daughter's mood when she left home, Yu Jiahou and Ren Zhiping were completely panicked. They took out their mobile phones and called An An first, but An An had never seen Yu Xiao. Hearing that Yu Xiao had not returned home yet, An An comforted the two of them not to panic, and she would help call to look for her.
As soon as An An hung up the phone, she called Shen Yimo and asked him if he had seen Yu Xiao, but the answer he got was the same. Because they were worried that Yu Xiao might get into trouble, they agreed to look for her separately and finally meet at Yu Xiao's parents' house.
The search lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening. We searched everywhere Yu Xiao could go, but to no avail. Finally, we had to meet at Yu Xiao's house.
"Auntie, did Xiaoxiao tell you where she was going before she left?" An An looked at Ren Zhiping and asked again.
"No, she just said she wanted to go out and relax. We thought she must be upset, so we didn't think much about it. Who knows..." Ren Zhiping was so upset at the end that she couldn't continue speaking and covered her face and cried.
"That means... Xiaoxiao disappeared after leaving here? Has anyone among us seen her?" Shen Yimo asked everyone with a frown.
An An and Xiao Tong both shook their heads: "We haven't met today!"
"That means Xiaoxiao has been missing since lunch. It's past eleven o'clock now, and she has been missing for ten hours..." Shen Yimo remained calm and analyzed Yu Xiao's disappearance.
"I saw her today!" A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Shen Yimo's words. Everyone was stunned, and then looked at An Jingya who had been silent. She heard about Yu Xiao's disappearance from her sister, so she also came.
"Sister, where have you seen her? When?" An An looked at her sister nervously and asked. Everyone was also staring at her.
"I... we met at the beach around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then... not long after, I went home..." An Jingya replied with twinkling eyes.
"What does she want to see you for?" An An's heart tightened and she stared at her sister and asked.
"No, nothing..."
Shen Yimo frowned slightly at An Jingya's expression, and looked at Ren Zhiping and Yu Jiahou: "Uncle, aunt, let's call the police!"
"Yeah." Ren Zhiping nodded and couldn't help crying again.
Shen Yimo called the police first, and then he and Zhao Chen took An An, Xiao Tong, and An Jingya to the beach to see if they could find Yu Xiao there. But everyone was busy until after 2 a.m., and there was still no news.
In a blink of an eye, Yu Xiao had been missing for four days, and there was still no news. During this period, Shen Yimo searched almost every place in the city where Yu Xiao might have been, and even at Uncle Ming's place, he did not find any trace of her.
That afternoon, Yu Xiao seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one knew where she had gone.
Life or death, no one knows.
Because he had just taken a month's vacation, Kang Shaonan was sent to the military district to hold a three-day military meeting as soon as he returned to the army. Because it involved confidential information, his mobile phone was temporarily confiscated for three days. As soon as the three days were over, he immediately called his wife, but heard that the phone was turned off. He called several times in a row, and the result was the same. In the end, he called Yu Xiao's parents, but what he heard was a bolt from the blue.
His little wife is missing!
When he got the news, he was still on his way back to the army. He immediately called the leader, told him the actual situation, and went back to T City. On the way back, he called all of Yu Xiao's friends and learned about what happened before and after his wife disappeared. Finally, he called Yu Haofan and learned that An Jingya was at work today, so he drove directly to Yu Haofan's company.
The moment she saw Kang Shaonan, An Jingya's heart started beating uncontrollably and she became very nervous. Yu Xiao's disappearance made her wonder how to face Kang Shaonan.
Seeing An Jingya sitting in front of him, twisting her hands, Kang Shaonan tried to calm his tone and asked her slowly: "Jingya, I'm not here to hold you accountable today. I just hope you can tell me some details. What did you talk about with Xiaoxiao?"
His wife had long known about his past with An Jingya. When they met alone, they knew without a doubt that the content of their conversation must be about him. So he wanted to confirm whether Yu Xiao's disappearance was related to the content of their conversation.
"I..." When she met Kang Shaonan's gaze, An Jingya lowered her head guiltily, not knowing how to start.
Yu Haofan on the side looked a little anxious: "Jingya, it's already this time, don't be so cautious, just tell Shaonan everything you know, okay?"
"Shaonan, you have to believe me! I really didn't do anything!" An Jingya looked at Kang Shaonan's expectant eyes and explained anxiously.
"Jingya, I believe you! Could you please be honest with me and tell me what happened?"
An Jingya lowered her head again, twisted her fingers and hesitated for a long time, then slowly spoke: "Actually, it was Xiaoxiao who took the initiative to ask me out that day. We met at the beach. At the beginning, neither of us spoke, but later she took the initiative to apologize to me and said sorry..."
"Why should she say sorry to you?" Kang Shaonan's brows were tightly knitted together, and he stared at An Jingya and asked.
"She said... she stole my boyfriend, so..."
Kang Shaonan clenched his hands tightly together, staring at An Jingya with a frown: "And then?"
"She said she wanted to make a deal with me. If I told her the truth about what happened seven years ago, she would give my boyfriend back to me..."
"You said it!" Kang Shaonan suppressed his inner impulse, but his voice still rose a lot involuntarily.
An Jingya nervously shook her head: "No! I didn't say that!" (To be continued)
