After Gu Li came back, Uncle Liu talked with him for a long time and was very concerned about his situation.
Gu Li responded one by one without any impatience. When he was about to leave, Uncle Liu's words made his body tremble slightly. "Have you... found your sister?"
Gu Li didn't say anything, shook his head gently, turned around and left. Uncle Liu sighed and said sadly: "Oh, why did such a good person suddenly disappear... I quite like them siblings. Where are the two..."
He had watched Gu Li grow up, and he was very concerned about his affairs...
"Ding dong——" The sound of the elevator came from the corridor, and Gu Li was seen dragging his suitcase out from between the opened elevator doors. The only sounds in the silent corridor were the sound of neither fast nor slow footsteps, and the wheels of the suitcase. The sound of rolling on the ground.
"Click..." As the key turned, a door opened. Gu Li carried his suitcase and walked in. He glanced at it. It was still the same as when he left, but there was a thick layer of dirt on the counter. He reached out his hand and wiped it on the countertop. Part of the accumulated dust was swept away and stood on his hand.
Gu Li frowned, and then his eyes fell in the direction of the bedroom. Although he knew it was unlikely, he still shouted at the top of his lungs. "Sister Qi'er..." Sure enough, no one responded...
After that, Gu Li cleaned the house very quickly.
"Huh~" He breathed a long sigh of relief and fell down on the sofa with a "plop". He looked very tired, both physically and mentally... he felt uncomfortable.
About ten minutes later, Gu Li accidentally caught a glimpse of the photo frame placed on the coffee table - there were two people in the photo, a child and a woman. The child looked about five or six years old and was careless beside the woman. Smiling heartily, his silly look is very endearing.
And that woman was even more eye-catching in comparison. She was wearing a sky-blue dress, and her whole body exuded an unstained aura of the world. Her face was almost fairy-like and almost demon-like, and her dark hair was flowing freely. It is very long, hanging down like a waterfall, and the aura is moving, as if a god somewhere has fallen into the mortal world.
The woman in the photo has red lips and looks softly at the child next to her. Just looking at her smile makes people feel drunk. She looks back and smiles to be charming. The pink and white in the Sixth Palace are colorless - said That's right.
"Where have you been..." Gu Li sighed, and finally murmured while looking at the photo with a wry smile.
The woman in the photo is his sister - Gu Jier...
The two were not related by blood. Logically speaking, Gu Li should have been adopted by Gu Qier, but at that time, he was such a non-relative and became the one who led him out of the darkness.
Everything was going well at first, but a year ago, on the night of Gu Li's eighteenth birthday, she disappeared inexplicably. Gu Li also reported the case, but no good news came. So Gu Li embarked on an almost circling search...
After all, after seeing the light, no one wants to go back to the darkness again...
The previous jade pendant was the only thing left by Gu Qier. Strangely enough, Gu Qier had always carried it with her since she could remember, and never took it off at any time, but now... …
After a while, he came back from his thoughts and muttered to himself. "I don't want to think about it anymore, let's go eat first..." After all, he hadn't eaten since he came back from climbing Mount Tai yesterday. Now his stomach growled so much that he remembered this matter.
He glanced at the kitchen and immediately shook his head. Not to mention whether there was anything in the refrigerator, even if there was, it was from a year ago, and he didn't have the guts to eat it.
After some thought, he decided to eat outside. He smiled bitterly and stepped out of the door. "I don't have much money left now, so I'm going to go out to a restaurant on the first day I come back..."
It was getting dark. Gu Li said hello to Uncle Liu and walked out of the community gate. Walking on the street at night, he could hear the chatter and laughter of people on the roadside. The air was filled with the smell of various snacks and fireworks. He was very angry and there was a busy city at that time.
After walking for a while, Gu Li stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant. He looked inside and saw that it was a little different from when he came before. It was obviously a lot more spacious. The business here was good and there were almost no seats left.
He smiled and walked in.
"Huh? Hey, isn't this Gu Li! I haven't been here for a while..." Gu Li was a good student. After entering the barbecue restaurant, he caused a commotion. As a result, the uncle who was grilling skewers saw him at a glance. He saw that he was from before. The regulars suddenly became happy, and of course they did not let go of what they were doing.
Gu Li nodded and smiled. "I haven't been here for a while. Your business here is much better than before~"
"Hahaha, let's not talk anymore. I still have so much to bake. Why don't you find a place to sit first... Do you still want to be the same as before?"
"Yeah." Gu Li responded, and then glanced around. There was still a location... but someone was already sitting at that table. He was not in the habit of sharing a table with others, so he had no choice but to stand there. Waiting in the store...
After waiting for a while, Gu Li quietly sat down. At the same time, a waiter with an apron came and cleaned up all the leftovers on the table. Gu Li glanced at him. He was wearing a hat, which made people unable to see. Qing's appearance, maybe the uncle was too busy and he was newly hired.
But these have nothing to do with me...
A few minutes later, a plate of kebabs was brought up, but surprisingly, a few bottles of beer were also brought up. Gu Li gave his uncle a blank look.
The uncle seemed to be prepared and greeted him from afar. "Don't worry, I'm treating you!" The store was already busy, and the uncle's voice was almost completely covered up. However, Gu Li understood immediately, smiled lightly, and said thank you.
He stared at the bottles of beer and the cap remover on the table, smiled and sighed, then reached out and picked them up. It was his first time to drink in a bar. Gu Qier didn't let him touch it before, so naturally he also I have never drank...
I don't know how much time passed, but Gu Li slowly walked out of the barbecue restaurant and touched his forehead. He couldn't be said to be drunk, just a little dizzy. After all, he still wasn't used to it. Just drink more... He suddenly stopped when he thought of this. I didn’t think about it any further.
He was also carrying a bag of skewers in his hand. Gu Qier didn't like to go out very much in the past, so when he ate these things, he would either order takeout or Gu Li would act as an errand boy. He just didn't think of reminding the uncle that he didn't need these. , now I have to bring it back...
The evening breeze was very noisy, blowing from behind, bringing a hint of coolness. Gu Li's drunken body seemed to have forgotten to resist, and allowed the evening breeze to push him forward. As for where he was going, he himself did not know. .
