Chapter 570 Next Stop (37)

Ye Ran just finished speaking.

It wasn't just Chen Kexin whose attention was drawn to her. Cheng Xin, who was feeling a little guilty and didn't know how to respond to her, suddenly turned his head to look at the small table over there after hearing what Ye Ran said.

I saw the quiet and well-behaved girl sitting in a wheelchair.

Under the delicate and upturned little nose, the beautiful cherry pink lips were slightly pursed.

Qiao Xi looked a little hesitant, as if she was struggling.

Cheng Xin's heart seemed to stop beating at that moment. The boy's pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously opened his lips slightly, staring blankly at the girl sitting there unharmed.

Qiao, Qiao Xi... is back?

Ye Ran and the others didn't know that Qiao Xi got off the bus halfway.

then.

Chen Kexin and Ye Ran were both in a state of high alert and tension. They had to concentrate on dealing with the serial killer, and they also needed to find a way to deal with him and escape.

In that case.

Cheng Xin also knew that it was obviously not appropriate to tell them that Qiao Xi's whereabouts after getting off the car were unknown.

After all, it would distract them.

It will also invisibly increase their tension and anxiety.

One can't do it well.

If Chen Kexin and Ye Ran were too nervous and the serial killer discovered their flaws and defeated them one by one, then they would really be eliminated from here.

therefore.

Even though Cheng Xin was not very good at lying, he felt that he was not very suitable for doing this kind of thing.

But I held back and didn't say it.

Fortunately, he didn't have to meet Chen Kexin and Ye Ran directly when he entered that scene, otherwise he would have been exposed on the spot.

Deliberately dragging out time.

In addition to the need to learn skills and practice, there is also a little bit of this idea, which Cheng Xin does not deny.

Look over there again.

Qiao Xi has already started telling Ye Ran about what happened to her before.

Chen Kexin didn't know when she came over, listening with great interest. She even put her hands on her chin, nodded from time to time, and motioned for Qiao Xi to continue.

Cheng Xin stood aside at a distance.

Staring at this scene, I was speechless for a moment.

I still haven't regained any sense of reality that Qiao Xi has returned.

What Qiao Xi told Chen Kexin and Ye Ran was exactly what she had told him before. She had indeed encountered some problems while being alone in the linkage, and that experience must have been quite bad, but Qiao Xi did not elaborate.

He just looked confused and a little worried.

Ye Ran also understood that she didn't want to recall the not-so-pleasant things.

So there was no insistence.

After getting a general understanding of Qiao Xi's situation, the two chatted for a while longer, during which Chen Kexin would occasionally interject a few words into the conversation.

Only Cheng Xin.

He stood alone, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

His eyes were fixed on Qiao Xi over there, but he never said a word.

His strangeness.

Finally, Ye Ran noticed it: "What's wrong? Cheng Xin, if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask directly."

He thought Cheng Xin had finished listening.

I didn't want to offend a girl, so I didn't ask and just kept it to myself.

So Ye Ran said this half-jokingly.

Trying to ease Cheng Xin's mood.

However, unexpectedly, after being teased in this way, Cheng Xin did not show his usual shy and embarrassed smile.

This situation is very wrong.

Even Chen Kexin, who was not very familiar with Cheng Xin, could clearly see the boy's nervousness and anxiety.

"You...what's wrong?"

Chen Kexin looked at him hesitantly and asked.

As if someone had suddenly hit him right in the heart, Cheng Xin immediately waved his hands in panic, almost biting his tongue and even unable to speak clearly: "No, nothing, I just... I just want to talk to Qiao Xi alone."

He looked so flustered.

It immediately caught Chen Kexin's attention.

The girl immediately showed a meaningful expression and deliberately dragged out her voice: "Oh, I see, you want to talk to me alone, right? Oh, Ye Ran, let's go quickly and don't disturb me."

"?" Ye Ran still felt something was wrong.

I didn't have time to ask anything.

Soon, the girl next to him patted his shoulder and forced him to stand up by pulling his sleeve and move away from Qiao Xi.

Chen Kexin dragged the person away directly.

When passing by Cheng Xin.

Chen Kexin didn't forget to give him an encouraging look and whispered to the boy, "Come on! Qiao Xi is very beautiful. You have to be more patient with girls. If you have anything to say, just speak up!"

Oh, she understands it all!

When boys and girls whisper to each other in private, isn't that just a confession scene?

I can't tell.

Cheng Xin acted so quickly. She was very optimistic about boys who took immediate action. So she must know when to leave and stop being a light bulb.

only.

Chen Kexin's teasing look was too obvious.

Cheng Xin watched the girl leave with her hands covering her mouth and giggling, feeling a little lost for a moment. However, he was somewhat grateful for Chen Kexin's encouragement, but the girl's eyes were a little strange.

Ye Ran just felt confused.

But looking at Cheng Xin's expression, it was obvious that he wanted to say something to Qiao Xi alone.

Although he was a little unhappy about being dragged away by Chen Kexin, he would not be so tactless as to stay.

After leaving the car, we went to the rest area.

Ye Ran pulled back his sleeve without any hesitation, and patted the place where Chen Kexin had touched with disgust, and the word "unhappy" was almost written on his face.

When Chen Kexin saw his action, she folded her arms across her chest and snorted coldly.

"Tsk, I won't bother with you."

She left Ye Ran and returned to her room, took out her cell phone and entered the chat room where only she and Mr. Long were.

Passed the fifth stop safely.

She must be going to be crazy with her dear Mr. Long and share what just happened!

The little girl lay on the bed, dangling her feet.

She recounted everything that had just happened. In the other chat room, the man who watched her quietly responded as gently as ever.

(Mr. Long: I watched the live broadcast. You are very strong and brave. Thank you for your hard work.)

It's just a compliment.

Soon, Chen Kexin rolled over on the bed with her phone in her hands and her face covered.

Her Mr. Long praised her again! She is doing well again!

However, compared to Chen Kexin, who was covered in pink bubbles in the room.

Sitting on the chair in his room, Ye Ran was stroking his chin unconsciously with one hand, and he was obviously a little absent-minded.

Actually... I don't particularly care about Qiao Xi.

It’s Cheng Xin’s appearance, which feels a bit strange.

In Ye Ran's impression, a carefree person like Cheng Xin would not be shy about who was present. After all, when Cheng Xin and Chen Kexin were present, he asked Qiao Xi all the questions he should have.

He didn't really care.

Not to mention Cheng Xin, even if he wanted to ask something, as long as it didn't involve privacy, would he really need to avoid other people like this?

Especially since it was proposed by the stupid Cheng Xin.

Thinking of this, Ye Ran fell silent and clicked his tongue in annoyance, as if he inexplicably cared about what they would talk about.

The more something cannot be known, the more you want to know.

Human curiosity is really...ah.

But in the end he was patient and didn't go out.

Just wait in the room with one arm folded.

It’s hard to talk about private matters.

In the carriage outside, after Ye Ran and Chen Kexin entered the rest area, Cheng Xin immediately came to Qiao Xi and looked at her nervously.

"You're alright, aren't you?"

He said this.

He also subconsciously cast his gaze towards the back of the girl's neck. This time, he did not see the shallow scar that looked like a suture line.

On the girl's snow-white skin.

It was so clean that there was nothing there, as if the scar had never existed.

"It's all right now."

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and met Cheng Xin's gaze. Following his gaze, she quickly figured out where he was looking.

Then.

The girl pursed her lips somewhat unnaturally and pulled her collar up a little more.

Although I know that the other party is kind-hearted and has no ill intentions.

But being stared at her neck like that, and the fact that Cheng Xin was a boy, inevitably made her feel a little uncomfortable.

He probably realized that his behavior was inappropriate.

Cheng Xin opened his lips but still looked away.

He finally fell silent, lowered his head slightly and sat down not far from Qiao Xi.

"Then...are you going to tell Ye Ran and the others about your injury?"

Qiao Xi pondered for a moment.

"No need. My injuries have healed now. Telling them will only cause more worries."

"All right."

Seeing that she insisted, Cheng Xin said no more.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi blinked and said softly.

"Why don't you get some rest early? At this rate, we might reach the sixth stop this morning. You just came back from the fifth stop, and it's almost three in the morning. We don't know what's going to happen at the sixth stop."

"I... okay."

Seeing that the girl didn't intend to continue the conversation, Cheng Xin didn't insist and turned back to the rest area, but he still felt a little depressed.

Ye Ran, who was about to go to bed, suddenly heard the sound of a door opening.

He paused as he lifted the quilt, then turned his head to look over there. As expected, it was Cheng Xin.

After seeing the other person's slightly depressed expression, he also raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Are you back? Go take a shower and go to bed early."

"Ah? Okay." Cheng Xin, who was obviously not in the right state, came back to his senses after hearing his voice. He nodded quickly and took his things to wash up.

Ye Ran yawned and crawled directly into the quilt.

He also did not forget to pull the dark curtains on his bed, so that he could still have some privacy.

He and Chen Kexin entered the fifth station.

He had been busy for so long without a rest, wasting both physical and mental energy. Now Ye Ran fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Cheng Xin came out after washing up.

Just when he was about to talk to the other party, he had to give up after seeing Ye Ran pull down the curtain.

Cheng Xin still couldn't figure it out.

Were the other passengers also asked to get off the bus? Or was it just Qiao Xi, or was it because that girl was injured that she was specifically asked to get off the bus for treatment?

There shouldn't be any notice at all.

That's too weird.

But judging from the result, it's good. Maybe the train staff arranged for Qiao Xi to receive treatment, so the train stopped at the platform like this?

Thinking about all sorts of things.

Cheng Xin also fell asleep.

As if noticing that the passengers were resting, the lights in the rest area went out one after another, and most of the lights in the carriage were also turned off.

The world instantly fell into darkness.

The train fell silent.

Qiao Xi, still sitting at the small table in the carriage, stared at the dark screen, seemingly distracted. After a long while, she slowly shifted her gaze to the still-flashing indicator light in the carriage.

A small light comes on.

It means we are getting closer to the sixth stop.

The temperature in the car suddenly dropped a little at this moment, as if it became cold in an instant.

at the same time.

The audience who were sitting idle in the live broadcast room began to feel confused when they saw that only Qiao Xi was in the live broadcast room, which was the only one that was lit up.

[Maishanshan: Look! The screen is flashing again!]

[Bai Gan Gan: Oh my god! It's flashing again! Why does it always cause problems when this passenger is alone?]

[Hongsansan: Oh my god, this lady is not some fortune-teller, is she?]

[Cement Crack: This... maybe there's a problem with the development team's system. It's not necessarily that certain.]

The picture in the carriage live broadcast room flickered.

As if the signal connection was bad, it began to become intermittent. This familiar scene instantly reminded the audience in the live broadcast room of the scene that appeared when Qiao Xi was alone in the Linkage Villa.

They soon started discussing it heatedly in the barrage.

The topic's popularity suddenly soared.

The screen in the live broadcast room began to go black from time to time.

And the girl sitting in the wheelchair in the picture.

As if she had noticed something, she turned her head in a startled manner and looked in one direction. Her expression seemed to be a little surprised, but more... seemed to be fear and panic?

The audience watching the live broadcast couldn't help but hold their breath.

My heart was tightened unconsciously.

Isn’t it said that... the safety of the passengers in the carriage can be guaranteed?

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

On the train.

It is an absolutely safe place for passengers, and no dangerous NPCs will enter. This is the established rule.

But now they clearly see it.

In the picture, Qiao Xi seemed to want to adjust the wheelchair, make it start moving, and control it as usual.

However.

The wheelchair, which had never malfunctioned before, remained unmoved no matter how hard the girl pressed it. It was as if it was fixed by something and firmly locked to the ground.

Qiao Xi's expression on the screen was also visible to the naked eye.

Becoming more and more nervous.

Before the audience in the live broadcast room could investigate further, there was a "whoosh" sound and a crackling sound of electric current passed by.

Qiao Xi's live broadcast room was flashing intermittently and frequently.

The screen is completely black.

Exactly the same situation as before...

Very weird.

The audience, who were originally discussing the matter enthusiastically, saw Qiao Xi looking flustered and weakly gripping the wheelchair handles with her hands, but the screen suddenly went black.

The live broadcast room was surprisingly quiet for two seconds.

Then, a barrage of comments slowly floated across the black screen of the live broadcast room.

[Hatsurabumi: What did she...see?]
