I held my cell phone and said to Chen Chen after a long while: "Do you know the administrator of the school post bar?"
Chen Chen said: "I don't know him."
I said, "I'm at my grandma's house. It's not convenient to tell you too much now. You can ask Siyu and Runzhu and try to help me contact the administrator of our school post bar and delete the post first."
Chen Chen hurriedly said: "Okay, I will contact a few of them right now."
I said again: "By the way, let's see if you can help me find out who posted it."
"Ok, I know."
After hanging up the phone, I stood alone in the room, took several deep breaths, and then opened the door and went out.
The whole family was already seated in the dining room, and I was the only one missing. I walked towards the table, and my mother turned around and asked me, "Who is it?"
I pretended to be calm and replied: "Chen Chen, ask me out to play."
My grandma said: "Chen Chen? Is he the pretty one?"
My brother answered: "Sister Chen Chen is really beautiful, better looking than my sister."
My grandma said, "What's the use of being beautiful? I heard your aunt said that she found a man with no money, and the family has always disagreed."
My aunt said: "The most important thing for a woman is to marry well. Marrying well is like being reincarnated."
My uncle joked from the sidelines: "How did you get married?"
My aunt curled her lips and replied meaningfully: "Okay, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
The whole table was enjoying themselves, and my mother said: "Actually, Chen Chen is a good child. There are not many people who don't care about poverty and love wealth these days. What's more, she is beautiful and has many people chasing her. Look at the children of some teachers in our unit. , they are all about the same age as Zijin, some are sugar daddies, and some go to Dongcheng to work as mistresses for others, and their parents’ faces are all humiliated.”
My dad said: "There are several people in our bureau who are raising mistresses outside. I have seen one of them who is younger than Zijin. I really don't know what these kids are thinking about."
My grandma said: "I just want money. If I don't work hard and do my job properly, I will rely on others to support me. Fortunately, our family is all good children. If someone like this happens, the whole family will be embarrassed."
My brother smiled and said, "I really want to be a pretty girl for a rich woman. My looks are not enough."
His words made the whole table laugh. My aunt smiled and called him shameless, and my mother said he still had some 'thoughts' in his heart.
I was the only one whose lips were so stiff that I couldn’t smile.
I have been worried about the post, which is useless. After finally finishing dinner, my parents sat and watched TV with the rest of the family. I sat in the corner with my cell phone and sent a text message to Chen Chen, asking her how she was doing.
Chen Chen replied to me: I was just about to tell you that I have contacted the Tieba administrator. He said that he could delete the post for you, but he wanted to meet you.
I stared at the screen, couldn't help but frown, and quickly asked: Who is he? Why do you want to meet me
Chen Chen said: He said he is two years older than us, knows us, and wants to see you by name. I'm asking if you have time tomorrow at 12 noon. Let's meet on the second floor of Dicos on Sandao Street.
I hesitated for a moment and then quickly replied: Give him my mobile phone number and ask him to contact me.
Chen Chen asked: Do you really want to see him
I said: Fuck, let me know who is cheating on me, and I will kill him!
Chen Chen doesn’t curse, so she asked me to calm down and fix the post first.
When Chen Chenzheng and I were texting and chatting, another text message came from my phone, and it was from an unknown number. I opened it and saw a sentence without punctuation, asking if I had time to meet.
I replied to him: See you tomorrow.
He immediately gave me a 'smiling' expression, and I didn't reply to him.
After a while, he sent another text message asking me if it was convenient for him to answer the phone right now. I said: It's not convenient, I'm at home.
He replied: Oh.
I thought about it again and asked: Can you help me find the IP address of the person who posted it
He said: Then give me a call.
I was so angry that I wanted to curse, so I picked up my phone and walked to the balcony. There is a bedroom separated from the balcony and the living room. I made sure that no one outside could hear it, so I made the call.
After only three rings, a strange man's voice came from inside, and he said: "Hello."
I said straight to the point: "Can you help me find the IP address of the person who posted this?"
The man's voice came with a slight smile: "Your voice is still the same as in high school, it hasn't changed at all."
I frowned slightly and didn't answer immediately.
He added: "Liang Zijin, I know you, but you must not remember me."
I asked: "What's your name?"
He said: "Miao Yunjie."
I really had no impression at all. He paused for a few seconds, and when I didn't say anything, he said, "Everyone among us who graduated from high school will recognize you. You are Chen Wenhang's girlfriend."
I was already in a bad mood, and he refused to open or pick up any of the pots. I said directly: "You are the administrator of the post bar. Can you help delete posts? If you have any requests, just ask."
Miao Yunjie smiled and said: "You are really a person who has worked in a big company in a big city. He is very businesslike and meticulous in his speech. Feel free to mention it? Can I mention anything?"
Holding back my displeasure, I replied aloud: "As long as I can do it, just say it."
Miao Yunjie said: "The post said that you and Chen Wenhang have broken up, so you are single now?"
I frowned and said 'hmm'.
Miao Yunjie said: "How about you become my girlfriend and I can delete your posts and check your IP address?"
I just wanted to curse, but I still didn't dare to curse after mentioning it in one breath. After all, it was me who was asking for something from him now, so I patiently replied in a deep voice: "I'll call you senior. Although I don't know you, please do me a favor for the sake of both of us being alumni." Liangcheng is so small and everyone knows each other. I don’t want this kind of gossip to spread, so you can take it as a good thing.”
I couldn't go head-on, so I had to play the emotional card.
Miao Yunjie thought for a moment and then said, "Have you read the post?"
I said, "No."
He said: "The person who posted the post must be someone close to you. He knows your past very well, and he also knows very well what happened to you in Night City. Every detail is written in a neat and orderly manner. Did you offend someone?"
Miao Yunjie asked me seriously, and I thought about it seriously. At the same time, there are only two people who have crossed paths with me in Yecheng and Liangcheng, and who are very likely to attack me—Zhang Xinwei and Chen Wenhang.
It's just that I don't know what's going on. I didn't expose them, so they still dare to provoke me
When I hesitated, Miao Yunjie said again: "I checked the IP address for you. It is the address of an Internet cafe. The person who posted the message would not be stupid enough to use his own home address. But I found out which Internet cafe it is from. You Do you want to know?"
I subconsciously replied: "I think so." Now, even if there are clues, I must catch them. If I can determine who posted the post, if I don't chop off his hand...
Miao Yunjie said: "Your friend told you, at twelve o'clock tomorrow morning, it will be on the second floor of Dicos on Sandao Street."
I said 'hmm' and he smiled lightly and said, "It was a pleasure talking to you on the phone tonight. See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, I stood alone on the balcony for a long time. There was no heating on the balcony, and the temperature was more than ten degrees below zero. I didn’t wear a coat, and I was shivering all over from the cold.
But the coldness made me sober, and I didn't have time to feel sad. Luo Xiangdong sent me back to Liangcheng, leaving me to face all the things and pressure alone. I just kept thinking about whether it was Zhang Xinwei or Chen Wenhang. If so, what should I do.
I woke up before eight o'clock the next morning, with something on my mind. I couldn't sleep all night, and even when I fell asleep, I had nightmares.
I was afraid that my parents would ask me if I left too late, so I simply packed up and went out early in the morning.
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is very lively outside, and people are starting to set off firecrackers. I was afraid of the noise, so I would cover my ears and take a detour whenever I saw one.
When we arrived at Dix, it was not yet nine o'clock.
I ordered breakfast and sat by the window on the second floor, just dazing by myself. After about half an hour, a figure suddenly flashed in front of my eyes. I took a closer look and saw that it was a strange young man wearing a royal blue down jacket.
After sitting down, he took off his down jacket hat and his glasses, which were all frosted.
I kept looking at him, and his face was very popular. When I looked at him at this moment, maybe he changed his clothes the next second, and I wouldn't remember it anymore.
Seeing me looking directly at him, he raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Liang Zijin, I didn't expect you to come earlier than me. What's the matter? Are you too nervous to sleep?"
I asked: "Are you Miao Yunjie?"
He smiled: "It seems you really don't remember anything."
There are more than a thousand people in each class of our high school, and there are about three thousand people in the whole school. He is not in our year group, how could I remember him
I was very nervous to meet someone I had never met before and talk about a sensitive topic, but I didn't expect him to actually sit in front of me, and I felt calm.
My lips opened, and I went straight to the topic: "Can you help me delete the post?"
He took out his phone in front of me, clicked on a few things without saying a word, and then turned the screen towards me. I saw it said 'confirm deletion'.
He clicked it directly and said, "OK."
It was so easy and no requirements were mentioned at all, which was beyond my expectation.
I hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner."
Miao Yunjie smiled and said, "You don't want to fool me in a place like this, do you?"
I said, "Whatever you want to eat, you choose the place."
Miao Yunjie got up and walked out. I put on my coat and followed him. He took me to a breakfast shop on the back street, where they had everything from bread to mung bean porridge.
We found a small table and sat down. He ordered a few steamed buns and two bowls of mung bean porridge. When he went to the front desk to serve pickles, I sat on a stool and waited for him.
When he came back, he laid out a few pickles and said to me, "Didn't you love to eat steamed buns the most for breakfast before? You could eat a whole basket in one meal."
When he said this, I subconsciously showed a surprised expression and couldn't help but ask aloud: "Who are you?"
Miao Yunjie grinned at me and said, "Guess."
