School has started. It seems that nothing has happened in this short summer vacation, but something has really happened, something that has turned my life upside down. On the first day of class, I was absent-minded because I hadn't figured out my new method yet.
Zhang Nuan has moved back to school, and because my father is in the hospital, I have chosen to temporarily go to school as a day student. I will take a bus to the hospital in the evening, and I also have to replace my mother, otherwise she really can't take care of it by herself.
Zhang Nuan takes good care of me. When I take a nap during the day, she will prepare breakfast, lunch and things for class for me. She is the only comfort in my heart at the moment. I really want to tell Liang Chao: Can you come out? Why are you hiding every day?! Damn, if you want to know something or you have a purpose, just tell me! I really want to find him and beat him up.
One person has limited skills, but two people have more skills. I asked Zhang Tong and Fatty Dayao to help me find a solution. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Liang Chao, you are doomed to lose to me, because I am playing at home, and I have a group of brothers who can fight for me. What the hell do you have? !
But I really overestimated the intelligence of Zhang Tong and Fatty. The solution they came up with was to let me "kidnap Annie" and then use Annie to force Liang Chao to show up... Speechless...
It seemed like a simple thing, but I couldn't do it, and I felt even more depressed. The more depressed a person is, the less motivation or smart mind he has to deal with things that make him depressed, so people's potential needs to be constantly stimulated.
Just one week into my senior year of high school, my entire vacation and my depressed state were shattered by a piece of news: Zhang Nuan was missing.
On Saturday night, we took the bus together to go back to our respective homes. On Sunday, I was in the hospital to take care of my father. I didn’t receive any calls from Zhang Nuan the whole day. At first, I didn’t think there was anything strange. Maybe Zhang Nuan and Ai Yi went out shopping, or she was busy with something at home.
I called Zhang Nuan on Sunday night, but no one answered the phone. I was tired, so I sent her a goodnight message and went to bed. Zhang Nuan had a really quiet weekend! Without her chirping in your ear, your life would feel very empty.
On Monday, because I lived at home, I had to go out very early to catch the bus and had no time to buy breakfast or anything. I thought about calling Zhang Nuan and asking her to buy me a bun in the school cafeteria, but no one answered her call.
The inexplicable uneasiness in my heart also made me feel as if something was going to happen. Under normal circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Nuan not to call me all day, and after receiving my text message, she did not reply to me.
The more uneasy I felt, the more worried I became. I quickly called Ai Yi to see if she knew where Zhang Nuan was or if the two of them were together. Ai Yi quickly answered my call.
"Hello, is Zhang Nuan with you?" I asked Zhang Nuan directly as soon as the phone was connected. That morning, there was nothing else in my mind except Zhang Nuan.
"She's not with Zhang Nuan, she's with me." Zhang Tong's voice came from the other end of Ai Yi's phone. They must have made an appointment to have breakfast together in the morning.
"Give the phone to Ai Yi, I have something to ask her." Zhang Tong definitely didn't know about Zhang Nuan's situation, so Zhang Tong told Ai Yi on the phone that I was looking for her.
"Hey, what's up?" From Ai Yi's voice, she seemed to be chewing something. I asked again directly, "Ai Yi, do you know where Zhang Nuan is?"
"Zhang Nuan? I don't know. She didn't go back to the dormitory last night. She will come to school soon." Ai Yi obviously didn't know that Zhang Nuan was out of contact.
"Didn't she return to the dormitory? Well, did she call you and say anything? She didn't answer my calls, and she didn't reply to my text messages either." I was becoming more and more uneasy. I always felt that something would definitely happen next, and it would be a big thing.
"Really? Then I'll call her and see. Maybe her phone is on silent and she didn't hear it." When Ai Yi heard what I said, her tone became serious. She might not be as uneasy as I was, but I believe she could sense my nervousness from my tone.
"Okay, then hurry up and ask Zhang Nuan to call me back, or call me right away to tell me what's going on. I'll be at school in a little while." I finished talking to Ai Yi, and she hummed and hung up. I waited for a while, and the phone rang, but it wasn't Zhang Nuan who called, it was Ai Yi, which meant that Ai Yi hadn't been able to contact Zhang Nuan either.
"Lengshan, Zhang Tong and I both called, but no one answered... You should talk about it when you get to school. It's possible that her phone fell somewhere or was lost. Maybe she's anxious to contact us." Ai Yi said on the other end of the phone, and she was also persuading me not to worry. But even if Zhang Nuan's phone was really lost, she would have told me using Suzhe or a public phone. Let's talk about it when we get to school.
After getting off the bus, I hurried to the classroom. When I arrived, Zhang Nuan was not sitting in her seat. My heart felt like it was poured with ice-cold water. My premonition told me that I must find Zhang Nuan immediately.
I told Ai Yi about the situation from the last time I saw Zhang Nuan to the present. During this period, Ai Yi and I kept calling Zhang Nuan, until Zhang Nuan's phone said, "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off. Sorry, the number..."
Zhang Nuan's phone must have run out of battery and turned off automatically. After the fourth class, Ai Yi and I packed up and prepared to skip class. Ai Yi also told Zhang Tong, so the three of us escaped from school together. Zhang Nuan's sudden disappearance made Ai Yi and I feel the darkness before the storm.
After we discussed it, I called Zhang Yaoyang as soon as possible. "Brother, is Zhang Nuan at home? Why didn't she come to school today?" I was not sure whether Zhang Nuan was at home or really missing, so when I called Zhang Yaoyang, I asked tentatively at first.
"She's not in school? Su Zhe and I are on a business trip and not at home. Can't you contact her?... When did you start not being able to contact her?!" I could hear from Zhang Yaoyang's tone that he suddenly became very nervous.
"Well, we can't contact her now. She hasn't called me since yesterday." I briefly explained the details to Zhang Yaoyang, and finally Zhang Yaoyang said, "Okay, I understand. Let's book a flight home now. You, don't do anything first, little brats, don't mess around."
Our first destination after we three came out was Zhang Nuan's home, because apart from the school, her home was the most likely place. We rang the doorbell for a long time but no one answered.
This city is neither big nor small, and now I don't know where to start looking for her. Because all the people and things related to her no longer exist, and she is only friendly with us now. Seeking revenge? Is it Red Dog or someone else
Hong Gou is actually unlikely. Apart from other things, we know privately that Hong Gou is not doing well right now, and he would not do anything bad to Zhang Nuan. Apart from him, we couldn't think of anyone else for a while. Did something happen to her when she was riding in the car yesterday
But with so many people in the city, how could we know who she met and what happened during the ride? July was destined to be a summer of ups and downs. Although the three of us didn't know how to find Zhang Nuan as quickly as possible, we definitely didn't stop.
Ai Yi took Zhang Tong and me to search all the possible places around No. 8 Middle School first, and then we searched all the places we had been to, but found nothing.
