Although the University of Nottingham is also in the university town, it is still a little far away from the University of Hong Kong. It takes about twenty minutes to drive there in traffic jams.
"Since you can set off, you should know how to find Xue Yong, right? We don't seem to have anything to do with him in this timeline."
Cao Aiqing asked from the passenger seat of the BMW.
"Simple. In fact, our circle is quite small. It may be a little troublesome to find an unknown ordinary person, but it is too easy to find a rich second generation."
After He Tianran finished speaking, he controlled the car's Bluetooth in front of Cao Aiqing and immediately called Xie Yanyan.
After a beeping sound from the car stereo, Xie Yanyan's voice sounded: "Hello? Brother Tianran?"
Xie Yanyan, who was opposite me, must have been confused as well. After all, He Tianran had never had any contact with her before, but once a call came in, he would definitely answer it. Firstly, he was her boyfriend's brother, and secondly, because He Panshan's eldest son.
"Yanyan, are you in your school?"
"Here, what's wrong, bro?"
"Let me ask you about someone. My high school classmate should be a freshman in your school now. His name is Xue Yong. Do you know him? I want to catch up with him."
The person on the other side thought about the name for two seconds, and then said: "Ah, I know him. I still have his phone number. I met Yuan Chong several times in the bar before. I still have his phone number. Can I send it to you on WeChat?"
"Okay, when you send the phone number, please help me make an appointment with him. If he is not here, ask him when he will come back. You call me in time. I have driven here now."
"Ah? Okay, no problem!"
"Okay, I'll be there in about a quarter of an hour."
"okay."
After the other party agreed, He Tianran took the initiative to end the call.
After half a minute, He Tianran almost ordered the girl opposite to do things for him in a commanding tone. This kind of strong posture was quite rare for Cao Aiqing.
He Tianran noticed her gaze and glanced sideways.
"What's wrong?"
Cao Aiqing said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that in my memory, you rarely ask someone to do something like this without even saying thank you."
"That's it... Needless to say, if you say it, she won't be in a hurry. And if you want someone to do something urgent for you, it's best to set a time limit, which will make the efficiency much faster."
"It seems that this girl... is in the same circle as you, otherwise she wouldn't be able to obey your orders."
He Tianran nodded: "Yes, in fact, the circle of the rich second generation in Hong Kong is quite small. If you want to get to know someone, you will not make more than two calls. And as you know, I have a good father, so Even if others look down on me in their hearts, as long as it is something I entrust, they will usually get it done."
Cao Aiqing said: "But did you give us a little less time? We drove there very quickly, and Xue Yong may not be here."
He Tianran looked at the traffic ahead and saw a red light. He stopped the car and said slowly:
"Ask her to help contact someone, fifteen minutes is enough."
"You have to know that fifteen minutes is a short time for a girl to go out."
He Tianran became interested and said interestingly: "Shall we make a bet? If the girl I contacted gets this done, you..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly saw Cao Aiqing's serious expression. He stopped talking immediately, changed the topic and said with a smile:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you something. Do you know what relationship Xue Yongzhi has between us?"
"Friendship."
"No, he's Cupid."
"..."
Cao Aiqing was speechless by this answer. He Tianran recalled the past: "Hey, do you remember, there was a power outage in our school and you lost your mobile phone. I called you to help you find your mobile phone..."
Cao Aiqing reacted immediately. Her eyes widened in disbelief: "Did you design that blackout?"
The man smiled sheepishly and nodded.
"Yes, I designed it, but Xue Yong broke the fuse of the power supply. He also stole your mobile phone. He was also responsible for those scary noises in the corridor. Anyway, I will be responsible for going back to the classroom with you. Get your phone and take you to the platform.”
Cao Aiqing was silent for a long time. When the vehicle started again, she sighed slowly:
"He Tianran, you are really good at using people around you to do things for you... You have designed so many things just to get one of my phone numbers?"
He Tianran admitted readily: "Yes, I was so introverted at that time. How dare I ask you for it? Thanks to Xue Yong, otherwise I would have no chance to get close to you. And it's not a use. We have conditions In exchange, I liked you at that time, so I asked him to help, but he had a crush on Wen Liang, and seeing that Wen Liang and I were getting closer, he wanted to win me over and say something nice to him. "
"That was in September, right?"
"yes."
"you……"
"Um?"
Cao Aiqing hesitated to speak. She shook her head, "It's nothing. By the way, you seem to be in a good mood all the way. Is it because you are going to see Xue Yong?"
He Tianran smiled, "Yes, originally I thought Brother Xiaoyong would completely disappear from this world like some of my college classmates."
"How is he different from your old film school friends?"
There was a happy expression on the man's face, and he couldn't help but start talking:
"Among my group of friends, if I want to talk about ideals or movies, I will go to a young artistic man named Li Wang. He is a gentleman and has a very high level. If I want to brag and fart, there is someone in my dormitory. My name is Cai Jueming, and he speaks with an authentic Beijing accent when he opens his mouth. Chatting with him will not let your words fall off the floor, which is so comfortable. If you want to find someone to make fun of, I also know a guy named Hu Yue. The specialties of the first two people are He has it all, but he's just not a good match. Another way to say he's good at everything is that he's good at nothing. But he usually has a lot of ideas and is the person who can best match my radio waves.
As for Brother Xiaoyong, hey, it’s useless to talk too much, but he is the first serious friend I have made. He is the kind of friend who I haven’t contacted for a long time, but I feel that I have a very good relationship with him. I just need to call him at any time. , a brother who can be pulled out for a heart-to-heart talk no matter how late it is..."
"But..." Cao Aiqing hesitated for a moment, then said: "But, in this timeline, he may not be the brother you know."
He Tianran paused slightly, "So... I want to get to know him again. Do you still remember what the situation was like when we talked about Xue Yong's future at that dinner in the future?"
Cao Aiqing recalled: "Because of gambling, I lost all my family property, got divorced, and finally became a security guard."
The man looked a little melancholy: "Yes, he was admitted to the police academy and should have a good future. If he is really related to this framed incident of you, I want to pull him out in time..."
The girl analyzed: "I can understand that you suspect him because of that post, but I don't have much contact with him, so he doesn't have this motive."
"hiss……"
The man turned the steering wheel, looked left and right to squeeze out of the traffic, and said calmly:
"You... uh... you should still remember something, that is, Xue Yong was dragged into gambling by my brother, and then he borrowed money from me."
Cao Aiqing frowned and thought for a while, "I have no impression... when did it happen?"
He Tianran was startled and blurted out: "Have you forgotten? We are in the hotel, at night..."
After finishing the trip, He Tianran immediately realized that something was wrong. This was what happened before he got the Buddhist beads and traveled through time. The original incident of borrowing money had been replaced by the fight between Xue and He. He Tianran originally wanted to take this opportunity. The explanation that Xue Yong suffered from He Yuanchong was analyzed by Ai Qing for me. Then I can naturally point the suspect in this incident to He Yuanchong, so that the other party can better understand...
Who knows, Brother Tianran has been reincarnated too many times, and his memory is a bit confused, and he suddenly forgets everything...
When Cao Aiqing heard this, her mouth opened slightly and her beautiful eyes widened. She was stunned by the unfinished words and murmured:
"We...what happened at the hotel?"
"No, it's nothing... That's not the point. The point is that Xue Yong borrowed money from me, and then..."
"What the hell happened to us?! Why don't I remember?!"
Cao Aiqing interrupted and shouted loudly. She was ashamed and angry. She looked at the man with an angry face, and her ears were red...
"Just...well...you may not remember what happened before I traveled back to military training...just..."
Being yelled at like this, the calm aura that Brother Tianran had cultivated during this period suddenly disappeared. Whether it was the good girl Cao Aiqing in the past or the iceberg beauty Cao Aiqing now, it would be a bit awkward for him to lose his temper and make him speak. Trembling, he continued without any confidence:
"Just... I... I said we just lay on the same bed all night, and nothing happened. Do you... do you believe it?"
Cao Aiqing, who was originally like an iceberg, instantly melted into a volcano. She couldn't help but raise her right hand and hit He Tianran on the shoulder with a "snap", as if she had been hit ten times more seriously than this cyber violence. Mentally hurt, she gritted her teeth and muffled out a sentence:
"I believe you, He Tianran... How long are you going to bully me before you stop -?"
