◎Is it pursuit, yearning or getting lost...◎
Chen Jia looked at the message that popped up in the dialog box, and her brain short-circuited.
What are her roommates talking about? Why is she trending on the Internet? How could she, an ordinary college student, become a trending topic?
Puzzled, she clicked on the screenshot sent by her roommate and enlarged it to take a look.
After seeing the contents clearly, his face turned pale.
"Yueyue, this is terrible. Your sister is looking for you and it's trending on the internet."
"What?" He Yueyue suddenly came back to her senses from her sadness, wiped her eyes, and leaned over to look at Chen Jia's phone.
At the same time, her own cell phone rang, and she noticed that there were more than a dozen missed calls on the communication panel. The current call was from her sister.
When her sister saw the call was connected, she first said in a trembling voice, "Thank God, it finally got through," and then she started scolding her.
The two came to Beijing to find Ye Shengchuan without telling their families.
Taking advantage of the short vacation, He Yueyue said she wanted to stay at a friend's house for a few days.
Because they had been close since childhood and their parents knew each other, He Yueyue's parents didn't think much of it. However, this evening, while out shopping for groceries, He Yueyue's sister accidentally ran into Chen Jia's mother. Both parents, believing their children were staying at the other's house, discovered during a casual conversation that they had been deceived; neither child was home.
Chen Jia just started her freshman year, and He Yueyue stayed to repeat a year.
Chen Jia's school is close to home, so she goes home every time she has a short vacation.
He Yueyue's parents were worried that their child would be under a lot of pressure from repeating the grade, and were willing for her to go to Chen Jia, hoping that Chen Jia could help guide their daughter and not let her have too much psychological burden. They didn't expect that they would collude to deceive them.
The two parents immediately called their children, but the calls were not connected and they were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.
He Yueyue's sister was more clever. She quickly checked her traffic information and found out that her sister had gone to Beijing.
But she didn't know what her sister was doing in Beijing. It would be dangerous for her sister, a young girl who had just reached adulthood, to run so far away.
She found her sister's other classmates and learned that her sister liked an e-sports player. Through this e-sports player, she found his Weibo and the club's official Weibo, and learned that they were holding an event in Beijing.
After learning about the girls' itinerary and their general purpose, both families breathed a sigh of relief, despite being angry. They were still worried, though, as the two children hadn't answered their calls for some reason.
The elder sister then went to the contestant’s super topic to ask for help, to see if there were any fans who had seen her sister at the scene.
Ye Shengchuan has a lot of fans, so he quickly pushed the missing person information to the top of the list.
After being scolded by her sister, He Yueyue felt very guilty.
I just had a breakdown and my friend was so busy trying to comfort me that I didn't even notice the incoming call.
Chen Jia has the habit of keeping the phone on mute. After watching the live broadcast for a while, she put her phone aside to charge and just picked it up.
The two girls kept saying sorry.
Especially He Yueyue, she didn't expect her family to be so worried about her and were going crazy looking for her.
She was now deeply regretful. After being scolded by her sister, she became more sober and felt that it was willful and childish for her to secretly run to such a far place to find Ye Shengchuan at the critical moment of her studies.
Ye Shengchuan was avoiding her like that, and it was so obvious that he wanted to get rid of her, but she still didn't give up and wanted to find him to confirm it in person.
Even if they broke up, she wanted to hear him say it himself.
He Yueyue met Ye Shengchuan during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination last year.
She failed the college entrance examination. Almost all her friends were admitted to their ideal universities, but she was the last in the exam and had few schools to choose from.
She has an older sister and two older brothers, all of whom are academic masters. One of her brothers was admitted to a famous university. Her parents praise her to everyone they meet. Even the head teacher who taught her brother would mention him from time to time when talking to her, hoping that she could emulate her brother.
Since childhood, He Yueyue has lived under the shadow of her academically successful brothers and sisters. Her cheerful appearance conceals her inferiority and repressed heart.
She spent most of that summer vacation amidst the sighs of her family. Although everyone took care of her emotions and said nothing, she could feel that her parents were very disappointed. Her brother always said it was a pity because their family had such good academic genes. She herself felt that she was a waste who was holding her family back.
Just then, Ye Shengchuan broke into her world.
One time, she was playing games to vent her frustrations, and she happened to encounter a player who was using a small account to fish, and she was beaten to a pulp.
She immediately cried because of her own bad skills. She felt that she was not good at studying and could not even play games well, so she was bullied by others in the game. So she added the other person as a friend and cried and scolded him, asking why he killed her so cruelly.
The other party was very surprised at the time, but said nothing. After she vented her anger, he asked her to join a team and brought her to an unattainable level in just two nights.
After He Yueyue calmed down, she felt embarrassed, but she also felt that this boy was very gentle. Playing games with him in a team was the most relaxing and happiest time of her summer vacation.
Afterwards, the two added each other's contact information and chatted casually.
Later, they started dating online and he came to the school to find her.
When she saw him in person, He Yueyue recognized that he was a very popular e-sports player in the professional league. He was handsome and had a nice voice.
It felt like being hit on the head by something, my head was dizzy and stars appeared in my eyes.
She never imagined that she would be in love with such a brilliant person.
The time that follows is very sweet.
While Ye Shengchuan was fighting hard on the court, she was studying hard in the repeat class, hoping to be admitted to the university in the city where his training base was located.
He was like the dazzling North Star that one would see when lost in the dark wilderness, giving her guidance and direction.
But I don’t know since when, Ye Shengchuan became very cold. He didn’t come to see me, nor did he let me look for him. He said that he was going to start playing a game and hoped that both of them would focus on their studies in the future.
He Yueyue was very obedient and tried not to disturb him.
But several months passed, and she saw him interacting with other fans in the fan group and doing various offline activities. He was obviously not as busy as he said, but he just ignored her.
At first, He Yueyue thought he was avoiding suspicion, afraid that people would know that he was secretly in a relationship and ruin his career prospects, so she endured it silently.
Until one call after another went unanswered and messages went unreplied, she finally couldn't hold it in any longer and took advantage of the short holiday when he was in Beijing for an event to find him, wanting to know what he really meant.
If she wanted to break up, she should just say so. She wasn't the kind of person who had to cling to him and be unreasonable.
But he kept avoiding her. She waited for several days at the place where he was filming, but didn't even get to see him once.
The hope that He Yueyue had in her heart was shattered. She finally realized that Ye Shengchuan was deliberately avoiding her, and she finally gave up.
Just now, when Chen Jia asked herself what she looked like now, she glanced at herself in the mirror.
His eyes were red and swollen, his cheeks were thin, and his once youthful and rosy face looked depressed and listless.
Mingming liked Ye Shengchuan not only for his initial caring and companionship, but more importantly, he was attracted by his perseverance and brilliance on the court.
This gave rise to hope in her heart, hoping to become someone as shining as him and be able to walk shoulder to shoulder with him.
But it seemed... things were not going as she expected. Not only did she not become more shining, but she became dimmer and dimmer.
And it made her friends and family so worried.
He Yueyue sniffed, her eyes became firm, and she told her sister that she would pack up and go back immediately and would never be willful again.
Chen Jia patted his chest, and his friend finally listened to the advice.
It was worth it for her to accompany her on this trip despite such great pressure. She didn't give up until they reached the Yellow River.
The two girls prepared to pack up their things, check out of the room and book flights home.
But where they didn't notice, a storm was quietly brewing on the Internet.
Because of the missing person request initiated by the sister in the super topic, some fans of Ye Shengchuan found her social account and the school she attended because of her good looks. They also found through some pictures posted on her social account that some of the backgrounds in them overlapped with some of the updates Ye Shengchuan had posted before.
Ye Shengchuan was clearly training at the base in City F and had never been to the city where He Yueyue was for foreign business.
But there was a photo of them holding hands on a lock bridge on He Yueyue’s space. They seemed to have seen a similar lock bridge in Ye Shengchuan’s fan group before.
This fan is Ye Shengchuan’s die-hard career fan and is active in the fan group every day.
He remembered it very clearly. It was Valentine's Day night. Fans were chatting lively in the group, joking with each other about the sadness of being single, and asking if anyone was willing to spend Valentine's Day together.
At this time, Ye Shengchuan suddenly posted a heart-shaped cheesy emoticon package converted from a picture, saying that he wanted to fall in love, but was immediately scolded by career fans in the fan group, saying that he was not allowed to think about other things before winning the championship, and should just focus on training.
So, the picture was withdrawn, and everyone laughed and didn't care.
Because he had the habit of collecting other people's emoticons, he quickly saved the cheesy emoticon and then recognized that the heart was made by a couple with their hands.
Although the background in the middle of his hand was a little blurry, he still recognized that it was an abandoned old bridge near his high school.
The bridge wasn't popular at first, but some students hung red ropes and padlocks on it to pray for blessings, and it became a hit, attracting many students from other schools to check in. He heard the bridge has been renovated, but he still remembers what it looked like before.
He was wondering why Ye Shengchuan went to that place, or maybe Ye Shengchuan got that emoticon package from someone else.
But now, after tonight's missing person notice and the information he saw in the girl's space, it seemed as if a string was suddenly connected in his mind, and the answer to this doubt was about to come out.
