[Mingyu, I might not be able to give you the information you requested.]
"What's the meaning?"
[I've investigated many times, and the information about Mo Niannian you mentioned is completely blank. The only record is that she came to live in S City four and a half years ago and is not a local. There's nothing more detailed; it's as if it's been deliberately blocked out.]
"What about her age? Her family? We can't find any information about them either?"
Yes, I can't even find the phone number. I'm sorry, I can't help you.
Can't find the phone number either?
He held her phone for so long today; if he had known, he should have just opened it, looked at it, and made a call.
Now that she's so resistant to him, it'll be hard to get her phone back later.
"Fine, if we can't find out, we won't. At least I'm certain now that she is Bai Xiaoruo. It's just that she may have suffered some kind of accident, or perhaps she injured her brain by falling into the sea, and she has forgotten everything she lived in L City, including me."
[Is that so? You'll have to be more patient with her then. Good luck! Annie and I are here with Qingxian, so you can focus on pursuing your little wife. But don't actually spend a year or two chasing her, or your father-in-law will never forgive you.]
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to bring her back to L City within a month."
[Then I'll wait for your good news. I still have documents to organize, so I'll hang up now.]
"good."
Xuan Mingyu hung up the call with Gu Yao.
He walked out onto the hotel balcony and reached into his pocket for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
He put the cigarette in his mouth and lit the lighter.
In recent years, his smoking habit has gotten worse and worse.
He knew that Bai Xiaoruo had never liked the smell of his cigarettes. And since she was pregnant, he would always keep a safe distance from her when he smoked.
But once she discovers it, it must be extinguished.
She started her nagging mode again, constantly repeating to him how harmful smoking is to the body.
He says he's changed and quit, but he still can't quit.
After she left, he felt an even stronger urge to smoke.
Smoking a few cigarettes makes me feel much better, helps me suppress my longing for her, and allows me to relax and be myself a little more.
He took two puffs of his cigarette, then looked down at the balcony below—
Suddenly, a familiar figure downstairs caught Xuan Mingyu's eye.
Mo Niannian was carrying a white plastic bag as she walked past the hotel where he was staying.
Xian Mingyu quickly extinguished his cigarette, put on a coat, and hurriedly opened the door and went downstairs without even changing his slippers.
He lives on the seventh floor, which isn't too high. He can get to the first floor quickly by running down the fire escape.
As she ran out of the hotel, Mo Niannian was already heading towards the nearby park.
Hsien Ming-yu quickly followed.
......
She sat alone on a bench in the gazebo, opened the white plastic bag she was carrying, took out a can of beer, unzipped it, and started drinking it without hesitation.
Xuan Mingyu, slightly out of breath, silently sat down beside her. "Why are you out drinking alone so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Hmm?"
Mo Niannian paused for a moment, then turned around and noticed that Xuan Mingyu had been sitting next to her for some time.
It's 10 PM now.
Youyou had already fallen asleep, but Mo Niannian was not sleepy. It was the first time she had insomnia. No matter how she tossed and turned, she couldn't fall asleep, so she decided to go out and buy a few cans of beer to take back.
Drink one can outside, and finish the rest when you get home.
This wasn't the first time she'd come out to buy alcohol so late at night.
If we run out of water at home and the refrigerator is empty, we buy more.
They're all kept on the top shelf; I don't dare let Youyou know. I never dare buy them when I take her to the supermarket.
If Youyou accidentally sees it and asks what kind of drink it is, she'll just tell her it's Daddy's and she can't touch it.
In recent years, although she can't remember what happened four years ago, many fragmented moments often flash through her mind just before she falls asleep.
Many people's faces were blurry; someone was calling her name, but she couldn't hear what they were saying.
Four years passed in a daze, leaving Mo Niannian perpetually bewildered.
Especially in the last two days, after meeting Xian Mingyu, he has been calling her Bai Xiaoruo endlessly.
Mo Niannian began to wonder: Who exactly was Bai Xiaoruo? And who was she?
Is she really Bai Xiaoruo?
However, she had no memory of Bai Xiaoruo, nor did she know this man who had suddenly barged into her life and was constantly taking liberties with her.
Guangxi also told her that her name had always been Mo Niannian.
So, she and that woman named Bai Xiaoruo should have absolutely no relationship, right?
"How did you know I was here?" Mo Niannian took another big gulp.
"Maybe we just happen to be on the same wavelength."
Pshaw, you'd be a fool to believe him.
What's it like to drink alone?
"Alright, I know what you're trying to say." Mo Niannian took a can of beer out of the plastic bag and tossed it into Xian Mingyu's arms.
I clinked beer cans with him. "Come on, cheers."
She gulped it down, finishing the entire can of beer in one go.
Mo Niannian let out a burp, then took out another can and started drinking.
Hsien Ming-yu opened the can of beer in his hand and took a small sip.
He didn't like drinking beer, but he wanted to spend time with her.
He still doesn't know when she learned to drink alcohol, and she's so smug about buying so many cans. Is she trying to drink herself to death before she's satisfied?
