Chapter 227: An Illusion Like a Dream



"What are you looking for her for?"

When the owner of the photo studio saw that he was asking about Qin Man, he became wary. After all, Qin Man was a frequent customer of his place. It would be inappropriate for him to reveal too much to this man who showed up out of nowhere and asked about her whereabouts right away.

"Just tell me where she went!"

"She came to my place to take a photo, but I don't know where she is, and I have no right to ask about the privacy of customers. I saw that she has an extraordinary temperament, so I kept this photo for exhibition!"

The owner of the photo studio was still cautious. He was a married man. The young man was so emotional just now. It was better not to say too much and be careful.

Besides, he didn't even know the person's name, but since he had been asked, it would be bad if he didn't say anything!

"Do you have her contact information?"

Versace asked again.

The photo studio owner shook his head and explained:

"I don't even know his name, let alone his contact information. Not every household has a phone these days!"

“Can you show me all the pictures she’s taken here?”

Versace realized that he couldn't get any information from her by asking this question, so he thought of looking at all the photos she had taken here to see if there could be any clues.

He had been looking for her for six years and finally got some news. At least he knew she had been in this city, so he couldn't miss any clues.

He had already visited the local public security bureau, looking for Qin Man, but there was no such person, and no identification information of her had appeared.

The owner of the photo studio frowned, not understanding why this person wanted to know so much about someone else's background.

Could it be an admirer? After all, that lady is really pretty, but her husband is more handsome than the one in front of me!

"In order to preserve the privacy of our customers, we generally do not keep negatives unless the customer requests it!"

“When was this photo taken?”

"It was at the beginning of this year, I think!" the photo studio owner thought for a moment.

At the beginning of this year, it has only been less than a year, which means that she is still in the market, which is undoubtedly great news for Versace.

Then, Versace took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to the boss:

"I'll give you my contact information. If this lady comes to your place again, please let me know!"

How could the boss dare to accept this?

"What if she doesn't come?"

Versace seemed to see his struggles, probably because he was afraid that he was not a good person! But this is also a normal reaction!

"Don't worry, I have no grudge against this lady. I am her good friend. We have lost contact for many years, so I was very excited when I saw her photo. Even if she doesn't show up, the money is yours. But if she shows up, please let me know in time. Thank you very much!"

The boss is not a fool. With this money, he would make some money. But he is too generous to give a hundred yuan at once. He is really rich and generous!

Anyway, when the time comes to pick up the photos, if the husband comes, there is no need for him to call. It is better not to meddle in other people's business!

"Well, just leave me your contact information and I'll call you when I come!"

"Is this a landline number? If you can't get to me in time, it's not my fault!"

Versace heard this and took out a mobile phone from his pocket:

"Don't worry, I have a mobile number!"

At this moment, the photo studio owner was even more shocked. Who is this guy?

There are even mobile phones. These days, buying a mobile phone would cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the network access fee alone is six thousand yuan!

After leaving the store, Versace prepared to wander around the area. Since she would take pictures here, it means that he must live not far from here.

Take a walk around the residential area nearby and you might get lucky!

Qin Man had no idea that someone was looking for trouble with her. In the afternoon, Yuanyuan and Xiaoyi came, and she taught them to learn English together.

She plans to take a foreign language certificate as soon as possible. As for English proficiency tests, there is already a policy for this.

This English proficiency test system originated from the Petroleum University and is held twice a year, in the morning and afternoon of the same day.

The full score is 710 points, and the passing score is 425 points. However, there was no grading system at that time. After several reforms during this period, the CET-4 and CET-6 grading systems were introduced.

The next day was the weekend, and Qin Man had to go to the store to look after it. She had a day off yesterday, so today it was Wan Qian's turn to have a day off.

After lunch at noon, Jiang Cong saw that the sun was warm outside, so he took his two children to the community park downstairs to sunbathe.

He sat on a bench while the children were playing on seesaw. Two children sat at each end. Xiaoyu was laughing happily, and her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell.

Jiang Cong just watched them playing lovingly. Then a few other children came and joined them after seeing how happily they were having fun.

Xiaoyu was a leader among the children and suddenly became a leader.

"Everyone line up, come one by one, at most two people can sit on each side. If you are heavier, you have to get off and let her take over, otherwise the seesaw board will not be able to rise!"

Seeing her conducting in a very professional manner, Jiang Cong just thought she was cute. He didn't know if Manman was like this when she was little, lively and cute, a leader among children!

Versace, wearing a tweed trench coat and a woolen scarf, wandered around aimlessly until he arrived at an unknown neighborhood.

The sun was still shining in the sky, making me feel warm. It was early winter, and the weather in the south was damp and cold, but compared to Kyoto, this little bit of cold was nothing.

In the park, the laughter of children was full of childishness. The loud conducting voice of a little girl caught his attention.

Versace looked closely. The little girl had two pigtails, was pink and tender, and had two small pear-shaped curls at the corners of her mouth. When she smiled, it was as if you fell into a cup of sweet wine, making you so drunk that you didn't want to get out.

The little girl's expression was somewhat similar to Qin Man's, which made Versace feel like he was dreaming. He wiped his eyes and looked carefully, and it was still like that!

He vaguely recalled his childhood, when he was only five or six years old. Manman was just like this little girl. She was always the leader among a bunch of kids!

Everyone listened to her and did what she said naturally. The tone, the expression, and the confidence between the lines were exactly the same.

However, if you look closely, they don't look particularly similar. Versace thought that he must have not seen her for a long time, so he would unconsciously think of her even when he saw a little girl casually on the street.
