Chapter 147 Tracking
Before climbing the stairs, I quickly clicked on the new pinned message in my text messages that I hadn't received yet and made a call.
The other side picked up quickly.
The childish voice said, "Hey!" innocently and joyfully, "Sister Xia Xia!"
Xu Jiaojiao is fine.
Su Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief. As she walked up, she tried to slow down her voice. "Jiaojiao, do you remember telling me that your family used to live in Building 3 of Sunshine Garden?"
"...Can you tell me where Sunshine Garden is?"
-
Early morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Xu Ji woke up before dawn. He got up, took a shower, changed into thicker clothes, and sat back at his desk.
The training holiday will be held on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
The main force gathered and set off on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. On the third and fourth days, the provincial team spent money from nowhere to invite former examiners who had set the final questions to give them the final bet.
Xu Jiqing asked for leave from Zhang Jianyuan and did not leave the house during the Chinese New Year. He also did not attend classes in the first two days. He relied entirely on Lin Lang's online photo-taking and transmission so as not to waste the "close to 300,000" that he exaggerated.
Lin Lang is a typical example of someone who "plays with his phone anxiously when disaster strikes."
The more important the competition is, the more addictive playing games becomes.
Last night, I was still sending him voice messages until almost one in the morning, with the crackling of gunfire in the game. "Captain Xu, this is totally unacceptable. I'm so anxious right now, I can't even close my eyes. I'm afraid it'll be the sixth day of the New Year when I wake up."
"Give me two quick tips from a genius that will help me fall asleep in five minutes."
Xu Jiqing: [I did the questions in the afternoon.]
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Lin Lang sent a "Fuck".
"How do you know I threw away the blood halfway through, right? Do you find it difficult too?"
Xu Jiqing replied, [Is it difficult?]
Lin Lang: […Okay, that’s enough.]
[Just now I was just anxious and insomniac, now I will fall asleep with the sorrow that I am the only fool. ]
【Why should one bring disgrace upon oneself? 】
[When tomorrow arrives, tell me, don't be so caught up in your romantic affairs with the princess that you'll forget about the world. Remember this!]
Apart from her, only Lin Lang and the provincial team's coach knew that he had changed the departure date to the fifth day of the New Year.
Very safe.
He checked the luggage again:
In sub-zero weather, he didn't have many changes of clothes, so he almost always wore them when he went out.
All the documents and materials can be put into one folder.
The wallet contained the cash he had withdrawn before the New Year, and the flashing transportation card was still in the photo compartment. Xu Jiqing took out the card, rubbed it on the photo with his lips, and put it back in the desk drawer.
There was still a lot of space left in the bag, and if she didn't mind, he could help her carry anything.
There are many people during the Spring Festival travel rush.
The high-speed train leaves at 1 a.m., so he plans to leave at 9:30, as it is safer to go earlier.
When the phone was fully charged, Xu Jiqing unplugged the power cord.
When I wanted to turn off the screen, the phone suddenly started to vibrate.
A local number he had never seen before.
It was just after four in the morning.
Who would call him at this time?
Xu Jiqing lowered his eyes, stared at the number for more than ten seconds, and pressed the answer button.
The person on the other end didn't seem to expect that he would actually answer. After waiting for a long time without hearing any response from him, he couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted "Hello" with a drunken smell.
Xu Jiqing moved the phone away expressionlessly and hung up the call.
The phone vibrated again.
He didn't answer and wanted to block the call directly, but he received a new text message alert first.
Still the same number.
【Su Xia.】
[Do you know him?]
【Answer the phone.】
No one was awake in the house yet, it was very quiet.
The sky outside the window seemed to be slightly brighter.
The extremely deep, yet faintly fluorescent cobalt blue is so rich that it's breathtaking.
When the call came again, Xu Jiqing answered it.
"Good son," Xu Wenyao seemed very excited and laughed hoarsely twice. "Look at you, it would have been great if you had been so obedient earlier."
Just one year after he was released, his throat was soaked in alcohol and returned to its old state. His laughter was different from that of ordinary people. There was no tail tone, and it was all stuck in his throat, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"How do you know my current number?"
Xu Jiqing spoke coldly.
He opened and closed his thin lips several times, but for a moment he couldn't pronounce Su Xia's name. "Are you following her?"
"I don't even know her, why would I follow her?"
"Your dad is just your dad, not some unforgivable villain."
Xu Wenyao ignored his first question and drawled, "What can I do? My son doesn't even think I'm his father anymore. I'm worse than a street dog. What's the point of living?"
"Other people's sons and their fathers can talk about anything, but you don't even introduce me to any good classmates you have at school."
He burped and became more and more excited as he spoke, "The girl's family is quite rich."
"I live in a riverside mansion and go to tutoring classes in a Bentley."
"There's no man in the house. I've only seen one mother in so many days, and the one driving is her uncle?"
Xu Jiqing said coldly, "What on earth do you want to say?"
"Your father misses you, son," Xu Wenyao sighed, his tone very emotional, "I dream of having a New Year's Eve dinner with you all. I'm happy to talk to you about anything."
"Don't blame me. I was the one who found her. She was the one who didn't want me to have an easy life first."
"Jiaojiao is my daughter, my biological daughter!" His voice suddenly rose, and he said in a gruff voice, "Is it wrong for me to want to take a look? You said you would call the police, so you did. Who the hell do you think you are?"
"A driver is just a driver. The idea definitely wasn't his."
"At first I just couldn't get over it. I wanted to see who called the police, so I crouched behind the car and followed it for several days. When I saw the girl get out, I finally looked her in the face."
Xu Wenyao said in an ecstatic tone, "...What a coincidence! My son likes her."
Last winter, my whole family was with me during the first few days of my fried noodle stall at the Nancheng Night Market.
A windproof tent was set up under the tree, and Xu Jiqing set up a small table and a small desk lamp in a warm corner, specifically for Xu Jiaojiao to do her homework there.
Occasionally, when the tasks for the day were completed quickly, Xu Jiqing would give his mobile phone to Xu Jiaojiao to watch two episodes of downloaded cartoons.
Children don't have any fixed nature.
I would poke and click with my fingers, and occasionally click into the photo album on my phone.
Compared with his peers, Xu Jiqing's photo album is very empty.
There are no selfies, travel photos, screenshots of game interfaces, animated images of basketball stars, or advertisements for the release of limited edition sneakers.
There were only hospital bills, homework to upload, and a lot of overly carefully written math problems.
Su Xia's face is the sudden splash of color in such a boring black and white album.
