"I just felt happy that what the doctor said was so right, so I smiled."
Xiang Huan answered them both at once and continued drinking coffee.
The call between the two men continued, but it ended hastily without talking about anything. Xu Jiandong hung up and stared at Xiang Huan.
Xiang Huan continued to drink and asked for a piece of tiramisu cake, but he didn't say anything first.
Five or six minutes passed like this.
When Xu Jiandong's cell phone rang again, Xiang Huan glanced at the screen and swallowed the last sip of coffee.
"Where are you?" That's what Xu Jiandong said when he answered the phone.
Xiang Huan stood up and gestured to indicate that he was going to the bathroom.
She knew the call was from Jiang Qiqiao, and she saw it just now.
She said she was going to the bathroom, but she went straight to the door and walked out. She stood outside and took a few deep breaths. The cold air made her feel more energetic.
He turned around and glanced at Xu Jiandong in the store, who was still on the phone.
Not knowing what would happen after this phone call, Xiang Huan reminded herself not to pay too much attention to other people's affairs. She should think more about her own.
When taking notes today, Xiang Huan learned something about Xu Jiayi's current situation, and also knew that this friendship had come to an end.
Her only female friend was gone.
As for what happened last night, why it happened, and how to pursue legal liability or even civil compensation later, she didn't want to think about it.
Xiang Huan is really thinking about one thing seriously - follow the doctor's instructions and completely change the environment for treatment and recuperation.
But where can she go?
Standing outside the coffee shop, he couldn't think of an answer. After standing for a few more minutes, Xiang Huan was called back to the shop by Xu Jiandong's WeChat.
Xu Jiandong asked Xiang Huan, Xu Jia
Yi and Wan Xiao talked about what outcome they wanted there.
"Now that the police report has gone through the process, let's act in accordance with the law. Where is Wanjia?" Xiang Huan thought of Uncle Wanjia he saw outside the inquiry room.
"Of course their family hopes that trivial matters will disappear, but you are right, they must... act in accordance with the law." After Xu Jiandong finished speaking, he looked out the window with deep eyes.
Xiang Huan followed him and looked at him, "Anyway, I don't want to waste my time on scum. I am a patient and need to rest."
Xu Jiandong said nothing and looked at Xiang Huan and nodded silently.
Three days later, Xiang Huan walked out of the Piantao Town train station alone, got on the Benben bus, the most common means of transportation in the town, and went to the old house in Chengye.
The master who pulled her was a local. He knew that Xiang Huan was going to the old house, so he asked her where she came from.
Xiang Huan looked at the phone and replied that it was far away. He was a little wary and did not say the details directly, and he was not in the mood to chat with the master.
The master didn't mind her coldness and continued to talk about himself, telling Xiang Huan that the old house was a very evil place.
Xiang Huan raised her head and glanced at the master's back. This sentence "It's quite evil" successfully aroused her interest, and she asked why she said that.
"That kind of old house, haunted?"
After hearing this, the master turned around and said with a smile that it was true, all the elders in the town knew it.
Xiang Huan asked again what was going on, but the master refused to elaborate. He just asked Xiang Huan to go over and take a look, but don't stay inside for too long.
While talking, the Benben car stopped near the old house, and Xiang Huan got out of the car.
She went straight here as soon as she came over. In fact, there was no special reason. It was just an impromptu idea on the train. As a result, she didn't expect that something happened on the way.
An unexpected gain.
Because it was determined to be renovated, a brick wall had been built around the old house and people were arranged to guard it.
Xiang Huan had no intention of going in, so he stood on the opposite side and watched after getting out of the car.
She came back to town today and didn't say hello to anyone.
It wasn't that she wanted to hide something, but she just didn't want to say it, and Xiang Huan felt that Chengye would know it even if she didn't tell her.
Those people he arranged in Lincheng must still be following her, and they will know her whereabouts.
But it's been almost an hour since she got off the car, and Narino hasn't moved yet.
It's another cloudy day in the town today with the approaching storm. In this kind of weather, the old house feels particularly gloomy.
Xiang Huan raised his phone and took a photo of the old house.
While he was retouching the photos, a WeChat message popped up on the phone screen. It was from Xu Jiandong, asking Xiang Huan if he had arrived in Marriage Town.
Xiang Huan replied to him, "We're here, but it's not Marriage Town. I went back to Piantao."
When she left Lincheng, she greeted Xu Jiandong, but she didn't tell the truth. She said she was going to Marriage Town and continued to handle business matters for Pan Ning.
I don’t know how Xu Jiandong will react now that I have said it.
Ten minutes passed and there was no movement from Xu Jiandong, so Xiang Huan stopped waiting and called Benben again to the hotel where he was staying.
After putting her luggage in the room, Xiang Huan took a short rest and went out. She was going to find a house.
As soon as I walked out of the hotel door, snowflakes started falling outside.
Xiang Huan raised her head and looked at the sky. When she felt someone running towards her, she turned around and looked over.
