Then she heard Wang Zirui's voice not far behind her, "Xiaojiu!"
Sijiu turned her head and saw Wang Zirui, who was holding a mobile phone and carrying shopping bags, looking at her with surprise and running towards her.
"I'm surprised to see you here. Why are you here when you're going back to your hometown with your friends?"
Sijiu was a little helpless, "...my friend lives nearby, I was sending her back and was passing by."
Wang Zirui took her arm and said happily, "Ah, an invitation is worse than an accidental meeting. It just so happens that you can accompany me to pick out a birthday present for my mother. After we're done, I'll treat you to a meal."
Si Jiu was dragged by him towards the nearby shopping mall, with resistance written all over his body, "No, I want to go back to see my eldest brother and second brother."
"You're such a brother-con." Wang Zirui simply raised his hand and hooked it around Si Jiu's neck, and with his other hand he wrapped it around her from the front, locking her head firmly in the space created by his two arms, almost holding her while he walked.
"Okay, okay, it's just a hundred meters ahead at the jewelry store in the mall. Just pick out some jewelry. It's quick and won't take you more than a few minutes.
You know, my mom always dislikes my straight male aesthetic.
I'll take you home after you've picked them out. Okay, I drove here, so it'll be quick."
Upon hearing this, Si Jiu had no choice but to follow him.
Wang Zirui really did what he said. He quickly picked out the pair of earrings suggested by Sijiu, then took her to the underground parking lot of the mall and drove her home.
This is the most prosperous business district in the city, and the traffic has always been congested. Sijiu sat in the back seat and began to regret that it would have been faster to take the subway back.
"Drink some water." Taking advantage of the red light, Wang Zirui handed over a bottle of mineral water from the front.
Sijiu took it, opened the bottle, and took a few sips. He heard Wang Zirui chattering in front of him, "I've been so miserable these past two days, you have no idea. The autopsy results for that new case are out, but they're full of doubts. As the first person to discover the crime scene, I've been repeatedly questioned by the criminal justice office. And because the case happened in the same place as the previous one, they all tend to think this is another unnatural crime.
Now two cases have been assigned to the Special Affairs Office. Captain Qin has been missing all day long, and our Special Affairs Office is short-staffed. I'm almost busy to death. Look at my dark circles - if you don't know me, you would think I'm indulging in too much partying every night.
Even you take leave.
I'm so sorry... I'm a beautiful young man in his prime, but I've become an old man."
Sijiu chuckled, "A beautiful young man in his prime? You?"
"What? Am I not worthy?"
"No, no, no, just match, match, just be happy, young man.
But please don't get too excited, stop gesturing with your hands, and look ahead. Do you know that you are driving?
If you drive improperly, your loved ones will shed tears. ”
"Tsk." Wang Zirui curled his lips. "Okay, now I believe that you really weren't scared by the previous scene, and you're not sick. You're quite talkative."
Sijiu chuckled, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
Wang Zirui was quite obedient and focused on driving. Finally, he asked Sijiu, "Want to listen to music?"
"casual."
Wang Zirui turned on the car player.
After a moment, a low and hoarse voice was heard.
Sijiu heard the voice singing: Who killed Cock Robin?
I, said the Sparrow,
Withmybowandarrow,
IkilledCockRobin.
Whosawhimdie……
Her thinking gradually became slower and slower. Not only could she not understand the lyrics, she couldn't even hear them clearly.
Her eyelids seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. As she listened to the song that sounded like a nursery rhyme and made her feel uncomfortable, her whole body slumped in the seat. Her arms slid down weakly, and the mineral water bottle in her hand fell. The untightened lid fell off, and the water inside flowed out.
Si Jiu used all her strength to lift her eyelids and met the eyes of Wang Zirui reflected in the rearview mirror in front of her. When he noticed that Si Jiu was looking at her, his eyes curved and he smiled.
Si Jiu's consciousness fell completely into darkness.
