Chapter 283
"elder sister!"
Xiao Bai's voice rang out from outside the door right on time, and Jiang You opened the door to let them in.
Qu Xing, carrying the dog food that Zuo Zuo loved, suddenly fixed his dark pupils on Jiang You's reddened eyes.
He put down his things: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Xiao Bai noticed it too, but before she could ask, Qu Xing beat her to it, staring intently at his sister, "What happened? Did someone bully you?!"
The two looked at her nervously, and Jiang You's tense nerves, which had been taut all afternoon, suddenly collapsed.
Because I had already cried once, my eyes were dry, and I couldn't cry even if I wanted to.
"They...they've come looking for us." She blinked her dry eyes and recounted the events in a hoarse voice.
"I should have known better than to go to the repair shop. No, even if I hadn't gone, they would have found me anyway..."
Jiang You became somewhat incoherent at the end, but Su Qingbai listened attentively, stood up, and hugged her.
"Don't be afraid, sister, we're here for you."
The crisp scent of soap, mixed with a dry aroma, wafted over. The scent was neither strong nor overpowering, passing over the tip of his nose and lingering in his throat. Jiang You's fear subsided somewhat, and his shoulders and back gradually relaxed.
“Yes, sister,” Qu Xing said, “if he dares to kidnap you in broad daylight, we’ll go find the police, find the reporters…”
The two boys' ideas were too idealistic and naive. Jiang You knew that they were unrealistic, but his anxiety subsided.
Perhaps having anticipated this outcome, after a moment of panic in the afternoon, I finally accepted reality.
Originally, I went out to relax and then returned to China to be with Xia Yan and the others. Now I'm just getting back on track.
"don't want!"
Before Qu Xing could speak, Jiang You refused first.
Having accepted reality, she didn't want Xiaobai and Quxing to be implicated because of her, nor did she want them to give up their studies because of her.
Seeing the two looking at her with surprise, Jiang You explained while fiddling with her fingers, "I want to face it myself. If anything happens, I will send you a message."
As he spoke, he raised his left hand and shook the children's smartwatch on his wrist, a watch that could be pressed and held to immediately contact emergency personnel and call the police.
Su Qingbai and Qu Xing fell silent, knowing that they were not capable enough. Not only had they failed to be their sister's support, but they had also caused her worry. They understood that if they disagreed now, it would only add another layer of mental burden to their sister.
After a moment of silence, Su Qingbai pursed her lips and nodded, and Qu Xing also agreed.
Jiang You slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Xia Yan, whom Jiang You had expected to find quickly, did not appear.
One day passed, two days passed...
...
Meanwhile, Xia Yan had just returned to Beijing when she pushed open the door and was greeted by Shen Yi'an's boisterous voice: "Xia Yan, have you found any news about Youyou?"
Xia Yan glanced around at the people in the room, her expression unchanged, and said, "No."
"This can't be! There's been no news from Lin Yu either." Shen Yi'an scratched his messy hair; he was usually very groomed and hadn't even shaved his stubble. "How could this be..."
Xia Yan looked worried and offered advice: "Perhaps we missed some crucial information. Check it again."
"That's all we can do."
........
On the fourth day, Jiang You counted his savings and then went downstairs for a stroll around Jiang Zuo.
Zuo Zuo changes every day; she's grown up quite a bit.
