Chapter Ten I Didn't Believe in Fate, But Now I Do
Huang Renxuan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. She leaned sideways on the quilt and rested her head in her arms, feeling a little uneasy and anxious in her heart.
She turned over and turned on her phone. There was still no message on WeChat.
So Huang Renxuan clicked on Duan Qingwei's WeChat Moments again. In fact, his Moments were very simple. They were nothing more than promoting knowledge about social security. But she still browsed through them with pleasure. She didn't remember how many times she had browsed Duan Qingwei's Moments tonight.
WeChat Moments.
Huang Renxuan put down her phone and decided to go to the kitchen to heat up a glass of milk to drink, which would help her fall asleep quickly.
Just then, her cell phone rang.
She quickly picked up the phone and looked at the name on the caller ID, her heart was in a state of confusion.
After deliberately hesitating for a while, she answered the phone without saying anything, wanting to hear what Duan Qingwei wanted to say.
There was silence on the other side for two seconds.
"It's me. Are you asleep?" Duan Qingwei's voice sounded a little sleepy.
"I didn't sleep. I was going to heat up a glass of milk."
"Then you go drink milk first, I'll wait for you."
"I won't drink now. I'll drink after I finish the phone call with you." Huang Renxuan's tone was a little anxious.
Duan Qing smiled, and Huang Renxuan felt a little embarrassed when she heard his laughter. Why couldn't she steady herself all of a sudden.
"Why didn't you reply to my WeChat message? If what I said embarrassed you, then I apologize to you."
It turned out that he hadn't slept and was thinking about the same thing as himself.
"So you also realize that these words you say will embarrass me?"
"……sorry."
Then both sides fell silent.
Only Duan Qingwei understood in his heart that it took him the first half of his life to say a belated "I'm sorry" to Huang Renxuan.
"Do you believe in fate?" Duan Qingwei hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.
"I didn't believe it before, but I believe it now, but -" Huang Renxuan stopped what she was going to say in silence.
"But what?" Duan Qingwei's tone was a little serious.
"……nothing."
"..."
"If you have anything, you must tell me. Also, pay attention to your safety."
"...I know...but I noticed that you have become very verbose since you became a policeman. Have you noticed that you are like a housekeeper now?"
Duan Qingwei said disapprovingly: "You don't understand, my long-windedness is my strength..."
Huang Renxuan was amused by Duan Qingwei's words and giggled.
Until the end of the phone call between Huang Renxuan and Duan Qingwei, Huang Renxuan never said to Duan Qingwei the words that made her suddenly stop talking.
She initially thought that it was the thread of fate that caused her to meet him by chance, and then they were involved by coincidence, or maybe luck seemed to be on her side - but - she later realized that since they met -
- Fate has already stood in the way between them - the complexities of the world will be irresistible under the control of fate - and perish in cold and ruthless ways.
Huang Renxuan woke up at six o'clock in the morning, and the first thing she did was to turn over and look for her mobile phone.
Sure enough, no one would send me messages early in the morning.
In early summer, the sunshine begins to spread at seven o'clock in the morning. The trees on both sides of the community are still lush. When the wind blows, the leaves sway slightly. The fresh air in the morning carries the warm breath of light, which makes Huang Renxuan unable to adapt. Huang Renxuan is in the community.
While jogging, she stopped and pointed her hand in the direction of the sun. The orange light made her unable to open her eyes.
After exercising, Huang Renxuan went to a restaurant called Fule not far from the back door of the community to have breakfast.
The exterior of this restaurant is decorated with ordinary white tiles, but the size of the restaurant is not small. It has two floors. There is a yard in front of the entrance for parking. The back of the restaurant is backed by a mountain, and there is a cave. Walk towards the mountain from the restaurant.
A short flight of steps leads to the entrance of the cave, but there is a fence in front of the cave.
Huang Renxuan walked into the restaurant and found a seat with a fan to sit down. She saw the girl who occasionally jogged with her in the community. They said hello in a familiar manner.
Huang Renxuan ordered a rice noodle dish as usual. The business of this store is particularly good, and there are quite a lot of people coming for breakfast in the morning.
The girl took the initiative to chat with Huang Renxuan and introduced her name.
While Huang Renxuan was eating rice noodles and playing with her mobile phone, she heard a "ding-dong" sound from her mobile phone and saw a WeChat message from Duan Qingwei pop up in the message bar of her mobile phone.
A simple and clear word for "morning".
Huang Renxuan also replied "Morning" just like Duan Qingwei.
This day was pretty much the same as the previous days.
Work still occupies the main part of Huang Renxuan's time - she is still completing the tedious task of writing manuscripts.
It's still six o'clock in the morning.
When Huang Renxuan returned to her residential community after breakfast, she saw a police car parked in front of a unit building in the community.
There were some onlookers gathered downstairs in the unit.
When Huang Renxuan passed by there, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
She turned around and saw Duan Qingwei running towards her. Duan Qingwei said in surprise: "So you live in this community."
Huang Renxuan also felt a little surprised at this time and looked at him: "What are you doing here? What happened?"
"A girl named Xie Yunting disappeared. It is said that she made an appointment with someone to meet at home at 10 o'clock last night, but the man returned to her house and found that she was not at home. Her phone was also turned off, and she was on the phone all night
Out of contact. So the man called the police."
Huang Renxuan recalled the name Xie Yunting. She suddenly remembered something and said "ah" loudly. She was wondering if this name was exactly the girl who occasionally exercised with her.
Duan Qingwei asked her doubtfully: "Do you know her? Are you familiar with her?"
Huang Renxuan lowered her voice and said: "We are not acquainted, we just say hello to each other when we see each other." Then Huang Renxuan added: "Yesterday morning, she and I were exercising and jogging together in the community.
After exercising, I went to have breakfast and met her in a restaurant again. This is how it went."
The people gathered downstairs in the unit were all talking in low voices. Suddenly an old man slowly shook the paper fan in his hand and said with a sarcastic smile: "When I was walking at night, I saw this woman often wearing different clothes.
When a man comes home, he is just a dirty woman, and who knows who she has offended."
After Huang Renxuan watched Duan Qingwei carefully take notes in a notebook, she smiled slightly and said to her: "Then I will go to work first. If you have anything, please contact me anytime."
