Five in the morning domestic time.
The sky outside the window was only bright, but Tang Bingyao at home had already woken up and washed up.
It was said to be getting up, but in fact last night, she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep until two or three o'clock in the morning. Awakened from sleep.
nightmare.
With a pair of dark circles under her eyes, the girl stared at herself in the mirror for a while, trying her best to shake her head and forget about the bad dream that she had done before, then gently pushed open the bathroom door. He went back to his small bedroom.
There are also some luggage that needs to be finally confirmed and packed.
The girl's movements were very light, it could be said to be cautious, for fear of waking up the sleeping grandma next door.
Speaking of -
When she came home last night, she also told her grandma in advance, but of course it was impossible to tell the truth about the fact that she wanted to take a leave from school and buy a plane ticket to go to the UK. She just said that she would go to her roommate and girlfriend's house for two days on weekends, so that the old man would not want it. Worry.
In addition, she did not forget to send a message to several roommates and girlfriends on WeChat to ventilate and let them help her to cover up when the time comes.
so.
Everything in the house has been arranged and dealt with temporarily.
After finishing packing and trying to press down the bulging suitcase and zip it up, Tang Bingyao breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down beside the bed, dazed for a while.
The time is... very early.
But she didn't know what to do to pass the time, or actually didn't have any other thoughts to do anything at all.
Suddenly, it seemed to be remembering something again. The girl took out her mobile phone and sent Zeng Rui a message on WeChat, and quickly asked the time and place of the meeting between the two today. I forgot to mention it on the phone yesterday, but fortunately I think about it now. stand up.
However, not long after the message was sent, the girl's cell phone vibrated almost immediately. Unexpectedly, Zeng Rui seemed to have woken up early, and made a direct voice call:
"Tangtang, I saw the news, you can call me when you get your passport and visa."
"By the way, are you going to get it from the Electricity Association? In that case, let's meet directly at the Electricity Association building."
Tang Bingyao nodded immediately:
"it is good!"
A little omission was quickly dealt with in this way, Zeng Rui's voice on the other end of the phone paused, and then rang again:
"Wake up so early?"
"Well", Tang Bingyao lowered her voice: "Can't sleep..."
Zeng Rui seemed to nod his head:
"It's okay. We booked business class for more than ten hours after boarding the plane in the afternoon. It doesn't matter if we can make up for sleep at that time."
Tang Bingyao bit her lip lightly: "A Zeng, can't you sleep either?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long while, I heard Zeng Rui's helpless voice with a faint tired voice:
"certainly."
"The whole person is in a state of confusion. He clearly guesses that something very bad may have happened, but he doesn't know the exact truth. This feeling... makes it difficult to sleep well."
indeed.
For Zeng Rui, this is a completely different feeling and experience.
Unlike Tang Bingyao on the other end of the phone who already knew all the truth, she would feel anxious and worried about the girl and someone she cared about; while Zeng Rui didn't know anything, this feeling was even more torturous than the former. .
However, because of his calm and restrained character, and his caring care for his companion's girl, even though he already had countless questions and doubts to ask in his heart, he never really asked the girl, just because he didn't want to. Add more pressure and burden to the other party.
Too…
A very attentive and considerate person.
Tang Bingyao was stunned for a long time, and finally, she spoke again in a low voice:
"Baozi... is sick."
"Very sick."
This time, Zeng Rui, who was on the other end of the phone, was suddenly quiet.
half an hour.
It was only after hearing that he seemed to take a deep breath, seemed to try his best to control his emotions, and said slowly:
"you say."
"I'm listening."
…
Early morning in the magic capital, night in England.
At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night in London, a train entered Manchester.
Finally, they stopped slowly in front of the train station platform, and gently woke up Mo Sheng who had been sleeping all the way. Lin Feng and the two got up from their seats and picked up their luggage again, walked out of the carriage and got off the platform.
The hotel has been booked on the road in advance.
Not far from the train station, located in the center of the city, and the traffic at night is not congested, so it only took ten to twenty minutes in the past.
The two stopped a taxi before the exit of the train station, reported the address of the hotel, and arrived at their destination soon after ten minutes.
When the hotel front desk was going through the check-in procedure, Mo Sheng couldn't help yawning and rubbing her sleepy eyes:
"It's finally here..."
"Ah, really, you have to get a good night's sleep when you go up. Sleeping until dawn is so unreliable on planes and trains—"
As she said that, she turned her head to look at Lin Feng, and kindly reminded:
"Xiaofeng, you should go back to sleep earlier, just to reverse the jet lag. If you have something to do after you have rested and recovered, it is not too late to do it."
Taking two room cards from the staff at the front desk of the hotel, and handing one of them to Mo Sheng, Lin Feng smiled and nodded:
"okay."
"Anyway, Sister Mo Sheng, hurry back to your room to rest. It's been hard work all the way."
In the words, he did not mention his own arrangements.
Mo Sheng grasped this detail very keenly, raised her head and looked at someone with some doubts: "What about you? Aren't you going to go out now?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"No ah."
"I'll go upstairs first."
After speaking, he paused, and his tone seemed to calmly and naturally add:
"Go back... make a phone call first."
…
The hotel rooms they booked were not on the same floor. They took the elevator together to the eleventh floor where Mo Sheng’s room was located. The two said goodbye to each other:
"Okay, okay, I'll take the luggage back by myself, you can go back to your room to rest."
Mo Sheng pulled the suitcase out of the elevator, and at the same time looked at someone worriedly and warned:
"Really, take a good rest first."
"Don't run out alone at night—"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded in response, and then watched Mo Sheng pull the suitcase away, and the elevator doors gradually closed.
The elevator continues to go up.
Standing alone in the elevator, the smile on Lin Feng's face gradually disappeared. He lowered his head and remained silent.
When I came to the fifteenth floor where my room was located, the elevator door opened. I pulled my luggage and carried a schoolbag and walked through the long corridor. I found my room number and stopped in front of the house number 1508.
Take out the room card and swipe to open the door.
Push the door in.
Room card * The power socket on the wall makes a pleasant "ding" sound, and the soft and dim lights in the room light up one by one. The white and soft big bed and the clean floor-to-ceiling windows project the brilliant night view of Manchester City outside the fifteenth floor of the hotel. .
And Lin Feng had put his luggage aside, walked to the bed and sat down.
Take out your phone.
A number was dialed.
beep-beep-beep-
After a while, the call was connected, Lin Feng put the handset to his ear and calmly said:
"Miss Xue?"
"Oh."
"I'm at Manchester City."
