Two days later.
Outside the window, a thick layer of snow has fallen.
The early morning sun shines through the clouds and illuminates the entire city.
In the office, Tang Jifeng drank coffee and silently looked at the scenery outside the glass window. Now, high school students should have been on vacation! I wonder how that little thing did in the exam.
Tang Jifeng recalled the way she cried and told him that she hated him that night, and the way she avoided him in resistance, and felt a dull pain in his chest. He closed his eyes and heard Ye Yan talking on the phone. Tang Jifeng came back to his senses, suppressed all his emotions, put down the coffee cup, and saw Ye Yan put a document on his desk. He was still talking on the phone, and he tapped the document with his fingers, indicating that he should take a look.
Tang Jifeng flipped it open and took a look. It was the revised plan for the new project. He sat down and read the key points. Ye Yan sat across from him at the desk, still on the phone.
"Going out today? Why are we going to climb a mountain when it's snowing so heavily?"
"Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you there. But with whom? A man or a woman?"
"Boys?" Ye Yan frowned, "Just the two of you?"
Tang Jifeng paused while flipping through the documents. He knew very well that Ye Yan would only speak in this tone when talking to Ye Lan.
"Is he the one who has been making you upset recently?" Ye Yan was still questioning. But it was obvious that Ye Lan had lost his patience and hung up the phone after saying a few perfunctory words.
After Ye Yan hung up the phone, he frowned and thought about something, without saying a word.
Tang Jifeng was flipping through the documents, waiting for Ye Yan to speak. In the end, Ye Yan remained silent. Instead, he lost his temper and coughed lightly. He seemed to be flipping through the documents in an orderly manner while asking, "Lanlan?"
"Um."
"Going hiking in this cold weather? Isn't she the one who is most afraid of the cold and the most lazy to move?"
Ye Yan became more and more annoyed, "So I said, she might really be in love. She is willing to do something she is unwilling to do with the other person. Do you think she really likes the other person?"
Tang Jifeng's chest felt tight, his eyes still on the document, not looking at Ye Yan, "Really with a boy?"
"How could it be false? He said he was the monitor of their class."
Tang Jifeng had nothing more to say. He stared at the document for a long time, but didn't read a few words.
Ye Yan was playing with his phone opposite him, waiting for him to review it, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't respond. When he looked up again, he saw that he looked unhappy. Ye Yan looked at him suspiciously and knocked on the table, "Did you read it? Give me some advice after you read it."
Tang Jifeng came back to his senses and exhaled, "You decide."
"Aren't you the one who understands this project?"
"Then leave it there. I'll look at it later." Tang Jifeng pressed his brows. "Maybe I have a cold. My head feels heavy."
Seeing that his face did not look good, Ye Yan did not force him and just said, "I'll ask my secretary to bring you two cold medicines later."
He stood up, closed the door and went out.
Tang Jifeng sat alone in a chair, turned around, and stared at the snowy scene outside the window. Yes, she was so afraid of the cold and didn't like outdoor sports, but she was willing to go mountain climbing with a boy in this weather. She liked it, right
Too…
Young people's love is always more of a restlessness in their hearts. It comes quickly and goes quickly. Back then, his attention to a person never lasted more than a week. Sometimes it was only two days.
This little thing, I’m afraid!
so…
Now, she really doesn't like herself anymore!
Tang Jifeng took the coffee and took another sip. Perhaps because of the weather, the coffee had already cooled down in a short while, and tasted even more bitter than before...
That kind of pain has been spreading to the bottom of my heart...
——
Tang Jifeng was not in good shape the whole day. Even he himself didn't know what was wrong. Although he looked playboy and frivolous on weekdays, he was always meticulous in his work. However, today, he was distracted several times during the meeting for the first time.
It was almost time to get off work, and Tang Jifeng hadn't left yet when his cell phone rang loudly.
On the screen, there was an unfamiliar number. Without thinking too much, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
"Is that Mr. Tang?"
A girl's voice came from the other side.
Tang Jifeng felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. He just said "hmm" and continued to sort the files.
"I'm Qiu Qiu. I'm Lanlan's classmate. I've met her a few times."
Of course Tang Jifeng remembered it. He couldn't help but remember that girl's treasure. But... She called him. There must be something wrong, right
Before Tang Jifeng opened his mouth to ask, he heard Qiu Qiu hurriedly say: "Mr. Tang, didn't Lanlan go hiking with our classmates today? In the end, I got separated from Lanlan on the mountain!"
"Getting separated?!" Tang Jifeng's eyebrows jumped.
"Now he's back, but Lanlan is nowhere to be found and the phone is unreachable. I just heard on the news that the mountain will be closed due to heavy snow soon! It's too late to call the police now. I don't have her family's phone number, so I can only contact you."
Fortunately, I saved his number in the school system when I did the sponsorship last time.
When Tang Jifeng heard this, he immediately stood up and asked, "Which mountain? Where did they get separated?"
Qiu Qiu obviously didn't understand, so he simply handed the phone to the person next to him, "Squad leader, talk to him yourself."
The squad leader grabbed the phone and said anxiously, "It's Black Cloud Mountain in the south of the city."
Tang Jifeng was angry. "Why climb Black Cloud Mountain in such weather? Do you think you have a long life?"
Heiyun Mountain is the highest peak in the city, and there is still a thick layer of snow on the mountain.
The boy was so depressed after being scolded that he regretted it. Tang Jifeng knew that it was useless to scold anyone at this time, so he just patiently asked, "Where is the place? Where did you get separated?"
"On the mountainside of the southern peak of Heiyun Mountain. There were quite a lot of people there. I walked to one end to take pictures of the snow scene, but I didn't expect..."
"Okay, okay, I'll call you again. Keep your phone open at all times." Tang Jifeng was anxious. He hung up the phone, grabbed his coat and car keys, and hurried out of the office. He called Ye Yan, but Ye Yan's phone was turned off. Then he remembered that he went on a business trip to the next city this afternoon and might still be on the plane. The elders of the Ye family went to Youcheng for a long time, and now it is obviously too late to help. Letting them know will only make them worry.
While driving to Black Cloud Mountain, Tang Jifeng asked someone to find a professional rescue team for future use. After finishing his work, he called Ye Lan, and sure enough, her phone was still unreachable. He called her home again to confirm, and the housekeeper only said that she still hadn't returned.
It was getting dark. And the snow showed no sign of stopping. If the little thing was trapped in the mountain, she would be frightened, not to mention how cold she would be!
The more Tang Jifeng thought about it, the more irritated he became. He stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out in the snow like a bullet.
