She hurriedly opened her contacts and dialed Xiao Ran's number.
Xiao Ran had just finished buying milk tea and was with Yan Xici when his phone rang in his pocket.
When I took it out, it was indeed a call from a girl.
He quickly pressed the answer button, "Where have you gone?"
“I’m on this side of the artificial hill,” Yan Xici explained as she tried to explain, like a child who had done something wrong, her eyes full of self-reproach.
They say things reach their extremes and then reverse; I must remind myself next time that I always end up causing trouble when I get too happy.
Waltz music was playing loudly in the square.
However, Xiao Ran didn't quite hear her, so she said, "Say it again."
The girl covered one ear, listening intently with the other, "I'm..."
Before I could finish speaking, the phone went completely silent; even the beeping sound stopped.
She glanced at her phone instinctively—oh no!
The screen went black.
This means it's completely shut down.
What to do? Yan Xici was completely depressed.
Xiao Ran was even more frustrated than her. Hearing the busy tone on the other end, she dialed the number again, only to hear the message that the number she had dialed was switched off.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown, somewhat worried.
Why did your phone suddenly turn off when we were talking? Did someone steal it?
After all, Yan Xici was weak and unable to carry heavy loads.
The more Xiao Ran thought about it, the more worried he became. He lost all focus and hurriedly walked into the crowd, his eyes anxiously searching for Yan Xici's figure.
This square is the largest square in southern Jiangsu; it's not small at all, covering an area of 1,000 square meters.
The key point is that it's evening now. Because of the nice environment and its location in the city center, many people come here to cool off or specifically to have fun.
Finding someone is actually quite difficult.
Qiu Yuru was chatting leisurely with Xiao Shengrong while waiting for them when her phone rang.
Seeing that it was from Xiao Ran, she started writing with a puzzled look on her face, "What's wrong?"
Have you seen Xi Ci?
Xiao Ran sounded somewhat anxious.
"Isn't Xi Ci with you?" Qiu Yuru was a little anxious when she heard that Yan Xi Ci was missing.
"She wanted to come find you, but she disappeared, and her phone was switched off, probably because it ran out of battery." Xiao Ran didn't voice his concerns, mainly because he didn't want his parents to worry too.
"It's okay, you're a grown man, you definitely won't get lost. Here, where are you? Let's split up and look for you, we're sure we can find you."
Qiu Yuru is still very rational.
After all, she's a twenty-year-old girl, and besides, this is a society governed by law and has good public security!
She didn't think it was a big deal.
"I'm on the east side of the square, what about you?"
"Your dad and I are to the west. Let's head towards the middle together. Don't worry, we'll definitely find it!"
"Uh-huh."
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Yuru and Xiao Shengrong stood up from their chairs and walked towards the center while searching for Yan Xici.
Looking at so many people, Yan Xici was utterly helpless.
Looking around, all you see are heads; with such density, it's impossible to find anyone!
The girl was still thinking when her gaze fell on the high platform behind the fountain.
It's a large, square staircase made of black marble, each level about 60 centimeters high, and there are only three levels in total.
Yan Xici's big eyes rolled around.
Why don't you climb up yourself?
After all, the higher you stand, the farther you can see; I've only just come to realize that myself.
If I go up there, I should be able to see Brother Xiao Ran, right?
Thinking it over, she quickly walked over.
There are actually safety platforms next to the artificial hill, with each level only about 1.6 meters high.
That's all.
Yan Xici climbed up the platform.
It's no exaggeration to say that you can see further from a higher vantage point. As soon as she stood there, she spotted Xiao Ran in the crowd, holding a milk tea and looking around anxiously.
This thrilled Yan Xici immensely.
The girl almost jumped up in excitement, waving her fair arms vigorously.
"Brother Xiao Ran, I'm here!"
Unfortunately, there were too many people, and Xiao Ran didn't hear them at all; she was still looking around.
Undeterred, Yan Xici continued to shout loudly, "Brother Xiao Ran, I'm here! Look at me!"
Her shouts drew the attention of many people below. They found it amusing that such a beautiful girl was standing so high up.
They started discussing it, one after another.
"Is this girl about to confess her feelings?"
"Yeah, it takes real courage to climb up to such a high place in the square to confess your feelings."
As they spoke, everyone stopped and looked towards where Yan Xici was standing, wanting to see which boy she had confessed to.
Xiao Ran was frantically searching around when he heard everyone talking, and with curiosity, he glanced in that direction.
Just then, Ji Re Guo saw Yan Xici waving excitedly at him.
Her long, soft hair swayed gently behind her as she moved.
Those white legs were simply breathtaking.
However, Xiao Ran wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. After all, it was just a fleeting change in the fountain's appearance; the water would always splash on it.
If someone were to slip and fall from such a height, it would be a serious matter.
The thought of her falling made Xiao Ran's heart tighten.
They turned around and ran this way.
