The background is as follows: 3 years ago, a group of criminals robbed a bank. While escaping from the police, they passed through Lakeside Park and hid the gold somewhere in the park. The next day, the fugitives were arrested, and the police did not find any trace of the gold. Perhaps, the gold worth millions is still there...
September 12, outdoor activities in Lakeside Park.
Time: 12:00 to 16:00.
Location: Lakeside Park
Content: Hiking and orienteering barbecue party
Prize: Mysterious "treasure"
Zuo Xin said: "This robbery seems to be true?"
"Yes, it's more immersive this way." Cheng Jiayou asked, "How about it, do you want to come?"
After the disbandment of the mystery club, Zuo Xin's club activities were blank. Hearing this, she couldn't help but be moved: "Jian Jing, are you going?"
There are no classes in school, and you can't review every day or stay at home to write articles. Jian Jing readily agreed: "Okay."
"Thank you two classmates for your support." Cheng Jiayou was very happy, "Let's join a group, I will tell everyone in the group if there is any news."
They joined the group. Cheng Jiayou chatted with them about the interesting things about hiking for a while, and then left for a long time.
As soon as he left, Zuo Xin couldn't wait to say, "He seems to be interested in you."
Jian Jing: "???"
"He always looks at you and keeps asking you questions." Zuo Xin argued, "I know what you are going to say. He is always asking questions about hidden treasures. He is not necessarily flirting with you, right?"
Jian Jing asked back, "Isn't it?"
"You don't understand this. Boys are very magical creatures. When girls ask them for advice, they think it's natural and they are so awesome." Zuo Xin mocked, "But they should ask girls for advice? It's impossible! They will definitely not ask you if they can."
"Are the questions he asks you very professional things? Can you find them on the Internet? Is there no one else to ask except you?" She asked three questions in a row, each one was heartbreaking.
Jian Jing was speechless.
Zuo Xin's eyes lit up with satisfaction. The girl's sharpness at this moment was not that of Sherlock Holmes: "Come to think of it, Cheng Jiayou is pretty good. He has good grades, is the vice president of the student union, and is a rich second-generation. Have you seen his sneakers? They are a joint model with AJ. The launch price was over 5,000, and now it's been driven up to 8,000."
"How do you know so much?" Jian Jing was surprised.
"I am also a mystery lover after all." Zuo Xin adjusted her glasses and said seriously, "Well, actually there are too many people pretending to be rich. I was curious whether they are really rich or just pretending to be rich, so I did some research."
Jian Jing couldn't help laughing: "You are so cute."
"It's quite interesting. Some people show off their brand-name bags in Moments, but they still use other people's shampoo." Zuo Xin's daily life is much more exciting than Jian Jing's. "Next time we meet, I will gossip with you - what do you think of Cheng Jiayou?"
"I just met him, what can I do?" She was puzzled.
Zuo Xin said: "That's right, but if I'm not wrong, he will come to you again."
It hit the nail on the head.
In the next few days, whenever Jian Jing posted on Moments, Cheng Jiayou would definitely like and leave a comment, and from time to time he would forward some movie reviews from public accounts - all of which were high-end movies.
To be fair, his behavior was very measured. His chat was casual, interesting and daily, without overly eager hints. He was able to show his affection but was not too aggressive.
Jian Jing didn't dislike him, but of course she wasn't moved either. She just thought it was quite fresh and a little curious.
After chatting in this lukewarm way for ten days, it was the day of the hiking activity.
The day before, Cheng Jiayou specifically asked her: [The lakeside park is far away, do you want me to pick you up on the way?]
Fearing that she would think it was deliberate, he added: [I will pick up several people, and I can take them along the way.] Jian
Jing originally planned to drive there by herself and pick up Zuo Xin on the way. Who knew that after Zuo Xin knew it, she said that she would take a taxi with a few friends and let her take a ride.
[You have to give him a chance, give him a chance, give him a chance! ]
Zuo·Single Dog·Love Expert·Xin gave such advice.
Jian Jing listened to her friend's opinion and agreed.
That day, Cheng Jiayou drove to pick her up. As he said, he didn't bring only her, the passenger seat and the seat behind the driver's seat were occupied.
The passenger seat was a boy, and when he saw Jian Jing coming, he opened his mouth and said: "The neighborhood you live in is quite expensive, right? How can you be so rich as a writer?"
"Not bad." Jian Jing smiled, didn't bother with him, and sat in the back.
The girl sitting behind her was wearing a professional sportswear and light makeup. She smiled politely at her and tapped her phone to indicate that she was busy: "... Yeah, I see. Tell the teacher that I've done it and send the report to her email... It's okay. Mr. Wang knows about this. Yes, he told me in person..." She talked
like this for a long time before hanging up the phone and complained: "Our department is really not good. We didn't recruit many people this year. You have to give us priority when you recruit new people in two days."
Cheng Jiayou introduced Jian Jing: "Zhao Xuan from the External Relations Department and Liu Kai from the Publicity Department."
Jian Jing said: "Jian Jing from the Chinese Department."
"You are a celebrity." Zhao Xuan smiled, "I didn't expect you to come to join our hike. I heard that writers are generally very busy."
Jian Jing continued to perfunctorily: "Not bad."
"Ahem." Cheng Jiayou cleared his throat and said, "Have you contacted the people at the lakeside?"
"We've already agreed to that." Zhao Xuan said, "When have I ever made a mistake in something you specifically asked me to do?"
This was an interesting statement, and Jian Jing raised her eyebrows.
Cheng Jiayou quickly said, "I know you're capable, so I'm asking you for nothing."
"That's good to know. By the way, the new recruits we talked about earlier don't count. We have to hold a basketball game next month. Last year's game was pretty good. If we talk to them again this year, we might be able to get sponsorship." Zhao Xuan seemed to be a very ambitious person, and she didn't forget to talk about the work of the Student Union on the way.
While Cheng Jiayou was talking to her about business, he took the opportunity to ask Jian Jing "Do you want to buy some water?" "Do you need to lower the car window a little to get some fresh air?" or "Do you get carsick? Did you bring motion sickness medicine?" and so on.
Jian Jing kept saying "No", "No", "No".
In the subtle atmosphere, they arrived at the lakeside park.
Zuo Xin immediately met her and winked: "How is it?" Jian Jing
pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's a bit funny."
She told Zuo Xin about what happened in the car, and they both laughed.
"He just wants to exclude you, and deliberately talks about topics that you can't get a word in about. Fortunately, Cheng Jiayou is still a little interesting, if he didn't say anything, he would basically be out." Zuo Xin analyzed it very clearly, "How would you rate him?" Jian
Jing spread her hands.
Zuo Xin sighed and lowered her voice: "In my opinion, Cheng Jiayou still cares about you."
"Just because he came to pick me up?"
"No, no, look at his appearance today. His T-shirt and pants are both trendy brands, costing thousands of yuan. They are not as pretentious as luxury brands, but his shoes have cost more than ten thousand yuan. You can tell at a glance what kind of economic conditions he is." Zuo Xin counted with her fingers, "The key is his socks, damn, more than a hundred yuan a pair. Boys who like to pretend only know how to buy expensive shoes, but they won't buy socks that cost more than twenty yuan."
Jian Jing took a breath and said sincerely: "Your knowledge reserve is amazing."
"That's not the point." Zuo Xin hit the nail on the head. "The point is that his hair was blow-dried and his shoes were clean. He must have dressed up before coming. You have to know that some boys don't even wash their hair before going out on a date. Cheng Jiayou is already very sincere."
Her words made so much sense that Jian Jing was almost convinced.
"Jian Jing, Zuo Xin, come here and get your badges." The person in question called them.
The two girls smiled and took the bracelets for stamping and put them on.
Cheng Jiayou explained in detail: "Each check-in point needs to be stamped, and the information of the next location must be found. The first person to complete it can get the 'treasure'. The total time is about 2-3 hours, which is plenty of time. You can take a break when you are tired. This is the map of the park." "
OK." Zuo Xin drove the car skillfully, "When do we set off?"
"Now." Cheng Jiayou said so, but his eyes meant something else, "Or wait, I will go with you."
Zuo Xin smiled and said, "My roommate and I have been here before. This time we are here to grab the treasure. This is Jian Jing's first time, so you can take her with you."
Jian Jing was surprised: "You want to grab the treasure without me?"
"Sure, you're so arrogant." Zuo Xin laughed and gestured, "For what you said, I have to compete with you today. See you later."
After she finished speaking, she ran away, looking determined to win.
Jian Jing was left behind by her just like that.
"It's okay, I'll take you." Cheng Jiayou told Liu Kai and tied his shoelaces, "Let's go, let's hurry up."
He smiled at her like this, and the sunlight seemed to be brighter.
At the end of September, most of the summer heat had receded, and the remaining heat was blocked by the dense shade of the trees in the park. Jian Jing wore a duckbill cap and walked in the shade. She breathed in the air purified by plants, which was fresh and slightly fishy, refreshing.
She slowly relaxed and savored some of the fun of hiking.
"Not bad, right?" Cheng Jiayou observed her expression and saw that she looked relaxed, so he took the opportunity to continue, "Sometimes there are too many things to worry about, so I like to walk around."
Jian Jing asked, "Are you alone?"
"If you don't count the club activities, I'm alone." He shrugged, "And no one accompanies me."
This sentence can be translated into: being single, there is sincerity.
"What about you?" Cheng Jiayou threw out the topic, "What do you usually do? Writing?" "
Almost." Jian Jing said, "When I have inspiration, I work all day long."
Cheng Jiayou was curious: "What if I don't have inspiration?"
She smiled: "Looking for inspiration."
"It sounds very hard." Cheng Jiayou asked hesitantly, "Actually, I'm very curious, why did you choose to write mystery novels? Generally, girls write more romance novels - don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that girls can't write mystery novels, I'm just curious."
This question stumped Jian Jing.
She and her parallel self both wrote stories about white cats. Why?
"Because reasoning is fun," she said after thinking about it. "Solving a puzzle brings people satisfaction, which is hard to replace."
Cheng Jiayou smiled and said, "I see. We are similar in this respect. We pay more attention to spiritual enjoyment rather than material things. To be honest, the pleasure of material things comes and goes quickly."
"That's because we both have no shortage of material things," Jian Jing retorted.
Cheng Jiayou said, "The lack of material things requires spiritual pursuits."
Jian Jing frowned slightly, not agreeing with him, but not wanting to turn a casual chat between friends into a debate, she changed the subject and pointed to the stone bridge in the distance and asked, "Is the bridge pier the first check-in point?"
"Oh, yes." Cheng Jiayou also realized that he shouldn't argue with her, and said cooperatively, "We're here."
The stone bridge is the first check-in point, and the question is also extremely simple. If you cut the geometric figures into a three-dimensional shape, you can see the name of the place written on the edge: campsite.
After getting back on the road, Cheng Jiayou changed the topic at the right time: "Is the question too simple? It doesn't seem to stump you...Jian Jing?"
He noticed that Jian Jing was a little distracted, and her eyes seemed to scan the other side of the bridge.
"Huh?" She looked back in confusion.
"What are you looking at?" he asked, "Is there anyone you know?"
"I'm trying to find the way." Jian Jing didn't answer his question directly, but picked up the map in her hand and looked carefully, "We have to go around, right?"
Cheng Jiayou misunderstood what she meant, "You want to go to the other side of the bridge? On the way back, we can go around from that side."
"That's good." Jian Jing agreed to what he said, without telling him that she did see an acquaintance.
Just now, Ji Feng was on the other side of the bridge, whispering something to a young woman.
The distance was a bit far, so it was not difficult for her to see his face clearly. But this man was very tall, and she was familiar with his walking posture, so it was not difficult to recognize him.
After thinking about it, she sent him a WeChat message: [Lakeside Park?]
Ji Feng replied quickly: [Did you see me? Don't come over, busy]
As expected, I'm on a plainclothes mission. Jian Jing replied "OK" and was about to put the phone away when it rang.
She mouthed "sorry" to Cheng Jiayou and walked a few steps away to talk to him: "What's up?"
"You're in the park?" Ji Feng didn't look at her at all, but quickly locked her location, "Yo, are you dating your boyfriend?"
"School hiking activity." Jian Jing asked, "What's up?"
Ji Feng said: "Hiking is good, but it's a bit boring, right?"
She: "Just say it."
"While you're hiking, please keep an eye out for anyone acting suspiciously for me." Although it was clearly a request, his tone was firm, as if he knew she would not refuse.
