"What? No way?" Baifu asked in surprise with wide eyes.

"I'm sorry that such a problem occurred. I was really tired that day." Miao Li replied calmly.

"It's okay, I'm just... a little worried that I won't be able to cope with it." Thinking about the possible future, Momofuku couldn't help but sigh and lay on the table.

Seeing Baifu's helpless and depressed look, Miao Li couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

——————————————

Qigang, who had just met his new girlfriend Ann for three days, had finished a romantic meal and was holding Ann's hand affectionately while strolling by the river.

"Did you like tonight's dinner?"

"Of course, this is my first time to have such a sumptuous French meal. It's really delicious."

"You like us to go there every day..."

"very expensive……"

"You are so considerate, but I wonder if you are always so considerate no matter where you are?" Qigang smiled meaningfully and gently squeezed Ann's arm.

"Disgusting!" Ann immediately understood Qigang's hint, glanced at him ambiguously, and pursed her sexy lips.

A gust of wind blew from the river, and Qigang closed her eyes comfortably.

This is a calm road along the river. There are no crowded people here, and there are no flower sellers who specially pester couples and hug girls' thighs. The most common people here are couples, so even the lights seem to be dimmer than other places.

The lush trees on the roadside dimmed the originally dim lights a bit. The neat rows of stone benches were almost empty, with only the occasional few occupied by intimate couples who were in love.

On the other side of the path is the wide river, and the beautiful neon lights on the opposite bank are flashing, announcing the prosperity of the city. The guardrails on the riverside are very low. In fact, they are called guardrails, but they are actually just two soft iron cables.

Even a young child can't stop him. Fortunately, there are few people living nearby, so most of the people who come here are young couples.

Every few dozen meters there is a row of steps that lead directly to the river. Qigang has never been able to figure out what these steps are for. Later, when he saw those enthusiasts crossing the Pearl River, he guessed that these steps were probably designed for those who were crossing the Pearl River.

People prepared it.

"whee……"

"Watch where you're going!"

…

A sound of lovers chasing each other attracted Qigang's attention. Looking back, Qigang suddenly saw a very young couple, who looked very much like students. The two hugged each other intimately, and the boy saw Qigang

Just looking at them, he shyly hugged his girlfriend and hid behind a stone pillar. The stone pillar was very thick, just enough to block the two of them.

Qigang couldn't help but snicker secretly, thinking, that couple is really cute.

Seeing Qigang laughing, Ann took his arm and started coquettishly: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing?" Qigang said casually, but couldn't help but look at the stone pillar where the couple was hiding. But suddenly Qigang discovered something wrong, such as the lighting.

The light came from behind the stone pillar. According to its angle, Qigang should be able to see at least the shadows of the two people from his position. But Qigang clearly saw only the straight black shadow reflected by the stone pillar, and nothing else.

.

Qigang was stunned and couldn't help but become curious. The place where the couple was hiding was in a blind spot. If they wanted to leave, they would definitely pass behind him. But it was clear that no one had passed by him just now?

Qigang, who was puzzled, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. On a whim, he resisted the pressure of "peeping tom", left Ann aside, and walked towards the stone pillar alone.

In order not to disturb the young couple, Qigang deliberately kept his footsteps very light. But the closer he got, the more he felt something was wrong. Because... it was so quiet, so quiet that there was no sound of footsteps or whispers.

, not even the sound of breathing.

Qigang frowned strangely, and suddenly felt a slight chill rising in his heart, and suddenly became timid.

"Forget it, why should I care so much about other people's business?" Qigang shook her head to herself and prepared to leave.

This is Qigang's ability. He never lets unnecessary things bother him, even if it's curiosity that everyone can't restrain. Ling Hao once admired Qigang's ability. After all, this kind of person takes himself as his own.

Not everyone can learn the central "idealism", at least Ling Hao couldn't learn it even if he lived or died.

Just when Qi raised one foot and was about to take a step, suddenly, there was a sound of water droplets coming from behind. The sound was very clear, as if Qi had just been awakened in her quiet bedroom last night. In fact, at that time

It's just that the bathroom door was not closed, and the faucet was not tightened. But in Qigang's ears, the only sound left in the world was the ruthless sound of dripping water. Qigang, who was awakened from his sweet dream, was extremely excited.

I angrily closed the bathroom door to block out the annoying sound. But of course this solution is not possible now.

Subconsciously, Qigang turned his head. However, the scene in front of him surprised him even more. There was actually a steady stream of water flowing out from behind the stone pillars, all the way to the river. Qigang was startled, and turned around involuntarily and continued to walk toward the river.

Shizhu walked away.

There was nothing behind the stone pillar, and the young couple had long since disappeared. Only where they had been standing, water continued to gush upward, as if there was a spring hidden underneath.

Qigang stared blankly at the stone pillar, not even noticing that the gushing water had soaked the ground under his feet, and was still spreading towards his feet, little by little...

Soon, Qigang felt a biting coldness extending from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Even his chest seemed to be pressed heavily by something, making it difficult to breathe. Unable to withstand the frightening cold, Qigang

I shivered violently and felt as if I was soaking in an icy river. I was so frozen that I couldn't move or even take a step.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Ann, who had been waiting impatiently, patted Qigang's shoulder hard.

This beat immediately defeated the chill that had taken over Qigang's body. Qigang looked as if he had just woken up from a dream. He said "Oh" in confusion and looked at the stone pillar again. The ground and feet were still wet.

Qigang immediately picked up Ann and walked to her car: "I have a meeting tomorrow, let's go back early."

Today's date was carefully arranged by Qigang, and it was really disappointing to end it hastily. But he was really in no mood to do other things that he had longed for for a long time. Even Ann's charming little face, which was slightly dissatisfied, still couldn't change anything.
