In the northwest, there was a remote and sparsely populated village surrounded by desert. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Liang Canwen arrived by plane, car and camel.

It is desolate, dry, and lush green vegetation is rarely seen.

The house is an adobe bungalow.

Very backward.

The village is full of left-behind elderly people and children, and there is very little labor force.

Slogans from the last century still remain on the mottled adobe walls.

As soon as Liang Canwen arrived, he immediately found the troupe owner, Wang Basan, an old man who liked to smoke dry tobacco. He said anxiously and angrily, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have hesitated for that second and let Qiaoqiao go. I have to be responsible for Qiaoqiao."

"Stop, stop, stop... Squad Leader Wang, your words are scary, do you know that?"

"It's like this, Grandma Hu San..."

"Stop, stop, stop. This is the Northwest, not the Northeast. Why is Miss Hu here?"

"She's the third child in the family, an old lady. She's the grandma of the family, so Grandma Hu San, uh... I'll call her Grandma Hu. We came to the village this morning to prepare for the stage, and saw her fainted in the yard. Qiaoqiao said she would take her to get treated, and she drove her car, which seemed to be a G-Class... right?"

“…”

"Yes, yes, it was the G-Class that sent Grandma Hu to the town. I hesitated for a second and didn't follow, so Qiaoqiao went there. Now we have lost contact with her. We went to the county hospital to look for her, and they said Qiaoqiao had sent Grandma Hu to the hospital and settled her down, but she hasn't come back since. We looked everywhere for her but couldn't find her. I regret it. I should have been responsible for Qiaoqiao."

When Liang Canwen came, he passed by the county town, which was about 20 kilometers away from the village. The surroundings were in chaos, with desert and next door.

There are two situations in which the phone call cannot be connected: 1. Something unexpected happened.

Second, if your phone is out of battery, it also means your car is out of gas. You can either charge your phone or navigate back. If you are lost, you can either wait for other passing vehicles along the original route, come back or call to report your safety. If you wait for other passing vehicles along the original route, something unexpected has happened.

Liang Canwen thought of something: "That's not right, Squad Leader Wang, how come you have my phone number? How did you think of contacting me?"

"It's like this, Qiaoqiao has been trying to lose weight recently, so I often watch your video of singing "It's You" on Douyin. After watching it, I lost my appetite."

“…”

"Qiaoqiao said before that he had a boyfriend, but it was Yimeng Huangliang. Later, she said that she was dumped by Yimeng Huangliang."

"I didn't dump her."

"But you sing "You Are the One" to other girls. You are the one who loves me."

"Stop, stop, stop singing. How are you going to find me?"

"I used the Douyin account [Uncle Wang] to leave crazy comments under your Douyin account - [If anyone knows Yimeng Huangliang's phone number, please PM me. His girlfriend Lin Qiaoqiao is missing. Urgent!!!] Many kind-hearted people called me back. I called them one by one and got through."

"???"

Liang Canwen quickly took out his mobile phone to log into Douyin and was so scared that he almost fainted.

Hot search, hot search again! [Uncle Wang calls Yimeng Huangliang online, his girlfriend Lin Qiaoqiao is exposed]

Uncle Wang, are you a jerk sent by monkeys?

He knows how to use the Internet to find people.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Even if they were looking for me in my comment section, my fans wouldn't know my phone number. How did you find my phone number?"

"Uh..." Uncle Wang squatted on the stone pier, shook his pipe, and said embarrassedly: "Look at the second trending search."

Liang Canwen looked at the next hot search.

Almost fainted.

[Zhizhizhihaofan replied to Uncle Wang's phone number and commented that he hoped Yimeng Huangliang would find a girlfriend, Lin Qiaoqiao, as soon as possible. ]

Uncle Wang: "Mr. Liang, you look so pale, are you feeling unwell?"

Liang Canwen: "I'm not dead."

Liang Canwen wants to strangle this "cute" thing to death, isn't that too much?

I was looking for me on Douyin, and Ye Fanzhi, who was watching the show, saw me and gave me her phone number and blessings?

Directly sent to the hot search.

It’s not okay if I don’t appear on the trending searches a few times a month, right? I really don’t want to be on the trending searches.

Beep, beep, beep…

Next, Qin Shiyan, Qin Jinyu, Lou Shishi, Li Wenning and others called one after another to ask what happened to Lin Qiaoqiao.

Liang Canwen replied uniformly: "Uncle Wang is trying to use his data to get free traffic, don't believe him, Lin Qiaoqiao's phone is just turned off."

The main reason is that I don’t want them to worry about Lin Qiaoqiao. Otherwise, why would a bunch of women come here? Of course, if I really can’t find her, I must notify them.

Just be patient for now.

Qin Shiyan’s old friend didn’t believe that Liang Canwen only reported good news and not bad news, so he called Uncle Wang.

Beep, beep, beep…

Connected.

"Hello, Master Wang, it's me, Qin Shiyan."

"You uncle! You are the uncle. I am two months younger than you. I just look older."

"...Okay, okay, I'm your uncle."

"Hey, taking advantage of me, huh?"

"Wang Husan gave you face, right? Tell me! What happened to Qiaoqiao?"

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have hesitated for that second and let Qiaoqiao go. I have to be responsible for Qiaoqiao."

"What the hell did you do to Qiaoqiao, you old beast!!!"

"I am a beast, but you are not. Tell me yourself, how old was Qiaoqiao when she was pregnant with you?"

"Ahem, well, let's talk about the matter. What happened?"

Uncle Wang recounted the whole thing in a long and rambling manner, and Qin Shiyan immediately became restless: "Give me the address, I'll come right away."

"You don't have to come. Qiaoqiao's boyfriend is here. Your current husband should wait for news in Shanghai."

"I don't want to hear it, I'm coming."

"Okay, okay, come on, I won't tell you where we are."

"Fuck! Uncle Wang, you are really teasing me, right? Let my brother answer the phone."

"Who is your brother?"

"My ex-wife's boyfriend Liang Canwen."

"Mr. Liang, your girlfriend's ex-husband is looking for you."

Uncle Wang handed the phone to Liang Canwen.

"Brother Canwen, why didn't you tell me this morning that we could go look for Qiaoqiao together."

"You are old, and this place is remote and desolate. Please consider your health."

"Bullshit, I'm not old, those little girls say I look only 30."

"That's because you have money. Just wait for news at home. I've brought Qiaoqiao's bodyguard Ji Boxiao and the others to help us look for it. Don't worry, there will be no problem."

"Give me the address, I want to come."

"Don't act like a spoiled child. Aren't you disgusting at your age? I'll send you the address. I'm hanging up. I'm going to look for someone."

After returning the phone to Uncle Wang, Liang Canwen said, "I have notified the local police and they are also looking for her. Uncle Wang, please take care that the uncles and aunts in other troupes do not go around looking for her, lest they find Qiaoqiao but lose her here."

Uncle Wang: "Okay, go find it quickly."

"Got it. Let's go! You guys look for it along the original route, and Ji Boxiao and I will look over here."

Liang Canwen, Ji Boxiao and others found a few unused motorcycles in the village to look for people.

Liang Canwen and his team brought a drone with them. When they arrived at a location, they released the drone into the sky to get a bird's-eye view to see if there was any sign of Lin Qiaoqiao in the surrounding desert.

In this technological age, blindly looking for people is not an option. Using high technology is more effective.

We kept expanding the search area but still couldn't find anyone.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Liang Canwen became very panicked. In the hot desert, it was easy to die of dehydration.

It was not until almost five o'clock in the afternoon that a bodyguard said in the group that a drone had seen the boss's Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and he took a photo and sent it to the group. Everyone confirmed that it was indeed Lin Qiaoqiao's car, so everyone started rushing to the location.

In a desert, a white Mercedes-Benz G was parked there quietly.

Ji Boxiao checked it out and said, "Boss Liang, the boss is not in the car. There is a lot of dust on the car, which means it has been parked here for a while. The car door is locked, so why is it parked here?"

Liang Canwen: "We strayed from the main road for several kilometers. The car door was locked and there were no signs of prying, which means there was no accident. There is only one possibility - the car ran out of gas. I saw a gas station five kilometers away on the map, so Lin Qiaoqiao wanted to take a shortcut to refuel. In the end, the car didn't make it to the gas station and stalled halfway. You guys go to the gas station and buy some gas. The others will search separately. Because she ran out of gas, she could only walk to find a gas station. Her phone was out of battery and she lost her way. Everyone hurry up."

Everyone got on their motorcycles and went looking for people in all directions.

Ji Boxiao arrived at a desert. From a distance, it looked like there was a person sitting on the desert. It was too far away and against the light, so he couldn't see clearly, so he rode his bike over.

When I looked down below and raised my head, I could see that the figure was undoubtedly that of the boss.

Ji Boxiao shouted a few times.

Lin Qiaoqiao, wearing a headscarf, looked back and confirmed that it was Ji Boxiao. She turned around again, sat on the desert, and stared at the endless desert in a daze.

Ji Boxiao climbed to the top of the mountain and got into the role in a second. He knelt down in front of Lin Qiaoqiao and cried, "Boss, I'm too late to protect you, wuwuwu... Boss, if you have any mishap, I will die. Boss, are you hurt?"

"No."

Lin Qiaoqiao said calmly.

There is water, dry food and sunscreen nearby.

"Why are you here?"

"Sir Liang, it's not..." Ji Boxiao thought to himself that he was used to being a servant, right? "It's Mr. Liang."

Lin Qiaoqiao was stunned: "Liang Canwen?"

"Yes, Mr. Liang knew you were missing, and he immediately asked us to come find you."

"Tsk, he won't feel sorry for me."

Lin Qiaoqiao grabbed a handful of sand and threw it forward, pouting her lips.

Ji Boxiao thought about it, the boss still loves the scumbag, why not help him to achieve his goal and be reused in the future? "Boss, as soon as Mr. Liang heard that you were missing, he directly went to Qin... "

I almost said that when Mr. Liang knew you were missing, he jumped off Qin Jinyu's bed and came to find you without even having time to put on his pants. If this isn't true love, what is it? "When Mr. Liang knew you were missing, he didn't care about anything else and chartered a plane to come here. He blamed himself all the way."

Lin Qiaoqiao glanced at him and asked, "What is he blaming himself for?"

"He said that he failed to protect his girlfriend Lin Qiaoqiao. When his girlfriend Lin Qiaoqiao went to such a far place, he should have stayed by her side. That's how he would be a qualified boyfriend. He said that if anything happened to you, he would write the inscription on your tombstone as: [Tomb of my beloved wife Lin Qiaoqiao]."

Lin Qiaoqiao coughed lightly: "Is it true?"

"Boss, I will never lie to you. Mr. Liang told me all this in person on the plane. He was choking up when he said this. He said that his thoughts about you these days are like an untouchable net. My thoughts about you are no longer like a flooded sea. Why do I always think of you so deeply on those rainy days?"

"Really?"

"Really, he loves you. He said that he can't live without Lin Qiaoqiao, just like the West can't live without Jerusalem."

Lin Qiaoqiao puffed her cheeks and said “Oh~”: “So what? I don’t have a hit song.”

"You have!"

"I have?"

"Yes, Mr. Liang told me on the plane that he would sing your hit song to you when he saw you."

"What is it?"

"Only Feelings for You"

"Really?"

"certainly."

"Canwen still loves me."

Lin Qiaoqiao's heart warmed and the haze was swept away. No matter how brave Ji Boxiao was, he would not dare to lie to me, so these were all said by Canwen.

"Where is he?"

"I notified them and they will be here soon."

"I'm going to go find him."

"Boss, let me help you."

"No, I have the strength."

Lin Qiaoqiao stood up and ran towards the desert below.

The power of love!

At a certain moment, Liang Canwen was seen riding a motorcycle towards him from a distance.

Am I too energetic? Ah~ Lin Qiaoqiao fell to the desert in a sickly manner, weak and powerless: "Can~Wen~"

Liang Canwen threw away his motorcycle and hurried over to help Lin Qiaoqiao up: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just... I have no strength left. Canwen, I'm so weak. I've been exposed to the sun for a whole day without drinking any water or eating anything. I'm almost dying."

Upon hearing this, Ji Boxiao threw away all of Lin Qiaoqiao's mineral water, dry food, and sunscreen, and asked other bodyguards to take them away, reminding them to protect the environment.

Liang Canwen looked at Lin Qiaoqiao's weak appearance and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I took Grandma Hu to the hospital. When I came back, I ran out of gas, so I walked to get gas. My phone was out of battery, and I couldn't find the direction, so I sat on the slope and waited to die. Canwen, I was so scared. I stayed here alone the whole day. I was so scared."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Liang Canwen hugged Lin Qiaoqiao and comforted her: "Let's go back to the village. Hasn't the car arrived yet?"

Ji Boxiao: "Come on, light up."

Ji Boxiao’s WeChat on his mobile phone: [Waiting one mile away, the boss wants to be romantic. ]

Liang Canwen carried the weak Lin Qiaoqiao on his back and walked forward. Lin Qiaoqiao happily leaned on Liang Canwen's shoulder and looked at his profile.

"Canwen, I understand your feelings."

"What???"

"love me."

Ji Boxiao made a face and eyes beside him, and Liang Canwen immediately understood that this guy was trying to flatter him.

"Yeah, I love you."

"It's great to have Canwen. Didn't Canwen say that when you see me, you have to... you have to..." Lin Qiaoqiao said shyly, "Sing a song for me."

"Sing." Liang Canwen looked at Ji Boxiao and said, "Yes, sing. What should I sing?"

Lin Qiaoqiao's face turned dark in an instant.

Liang Canwen: "I was so excited to find you that I forgot."

"Oh, that's okay." Lin Qiaoqiao was gentle for a second, but was too embarrassed to say what to rap about.

Ji Boxiao coughed lightly: "Ahem, you said you would sing Fahrenheit's "Only Have Feelings for You" to my boss when you see her."

"Ah? Fahrenheit?"

Liang Canwen really felt that Ji Boxiao was good at flattering people.

Also give Lin Qiaoqiao a hit song?

Should Shishi ask for it next time? "Uh... let me think about how it's sung... is it sung like this? The puzzled look in my eyes is like a needle in the sea~ just guessing that I have lost my appetite~ a little annoying and a little charming"

"Yeah, yeah, that's how it's sung." Lin Qiaoqiao's voice started to sound coquettish. After all, women, once they feel a little bit of love, will become shy little women and speak in a coquettish voice.

Looking at Lin Qiaoqiao's happy expression and having been trapped in the desert for a whole day, Liang Canwen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's sing."

Liang Canwen carried Lin Qiaoqiao on his back and sang "I Only Have Feelings for You" to comfort Lin Qiaoqiao for what happened today.

Lin Qiaoqiao listened and fell asleep on Liang Canwen's back before they had even walked a mile.

She has been sitting here since this morning, for more than ten hours. Although she has not cried or made a fuss, she is absolutely terrified in her heart.

I didn't sleep because I was afraid to sleep in the desert. I was afraid that if I fell asleep I would be buried by the yellow sand and never wake up again, or I would be bitten to death by a snake or something.

Lin Qiaoqiao was carried into the car, Ji Boxiao drove the car, Liang Canwen and Lin Qiaoqiao sat in the back seat, another bodyguard sat on the passenger seat, and the rest rode a motorcycle back, leaving one person to guard the motorcycle and call someone to ride back.

Lin Qiaoqiao fell asleep on Liang Canwen.

Ji Boxiao: "Alas... Mr. Liang, my boss has a hard life. I have been with her for almost ten years."

Liang Canwen: "Why did you follow her?"

Ji Boxiao: "I used to be a gangster in London, and later joined the mercenaries. I was injured in the Middle East one time, and when I returned to London, I was bullied by a few black people. The boss saw that I was a compatriot and saved me. In addition, I knew how to fight, so I became her bodyguard. The boss was actually quite pitiful. She had nothing but money."

Liang Canwen: …

Ji Boxiao: "But this is the first time I saw the boss being so shy in front of you, which means the boss really loves you. Mr. Liang, you must cherish my boss. She is very simple."

Liang Canwen: "I know."

…

After returning to the village, Liang Canwen took Lin Qiaoqiao back to Grandma Hu's house to lie down and rest. He bought a few old hens from other villagers to make soup so that everyone could drink it.

At around six o'clock, Lin Qiaoqiao woke up and opened her eyes to find herself lying in an unfamiliar adobe room with a poster of Teresa Teng on the wall.

Lin Qiaoqiao panicked for a moment. After all, women would be afraid when suddenly being in an unfamiliar environment.

I jumped out of bed without even putting on my shoes, rushed out of the room, and saw Liang Canwen and Uncle Wang chatting in the yard.

"Canwen——"

Lin Qiaoqiao rushed forward and threw herself into Liang Canwen's arms.

This!!! Outside the yard, a small suitcase landed on the ground. Qin Shiyan had just arrived and saw this scene. I shouldn't have come here.
