If you can’t get through on one phone call, call another one
The corners of his thin lips curled into an elegant arc. He held the microphone in one hand and fiddled with the mouse with the other hand, seemingly unintentionally, looking at the complex electronic screen in front of him: He dared not not be persistent towards her.
The cell phone in her pocket kept ringing, and Tong Yao felt annoyed. The call from China kept ringing over and over again, which finally made her head feel hot and she pressed the answer button directly.
"Hello!" The moment she answered the phone, she suddenly regretted it, but she quickly reacted and switched to English - if it was those people who were unfavorable to her, let them think that the phone was lost and was picked up by a foreigner.
Already...
"Tong Yao," the male voice from the other side came slowly, speaking in a familiar tone that seemed to have a casual meaning, "You speak English now?"
She was stunned, and an inexplicable familiarity flashed through her mind.
This voice is...?
"Hey, you speak English, so you look down on people like me who speak Chinese?" He acted rogue into the microphone. On the surface, he was dissatisfied, but his face was full of joyful smile.
She finally answered the phone
Tong Yao, do you know that I have missed you so much these past three years?
"Are you...Qin Qiaotian?" She was stunned in disbelief, and then carefully verified after a while.
His voice is much deeper than it was three years ago, but his way of speaking and his arrogant attitude have not changed at all...
"Yes, yes!" He responded repeatedly and quickly manipulated the mouse on his other hand, while the screen in front of him also changed rapidly and became clearer -
It turned out to be a satellite positioning map. While making a phone call, he could find her electromagnetic wave emission point, and then gradually zoom in to clearly know her specific location.
"Tong Yao, you have become a big reporter, and you can go to Moscow..." He said sourly, with envy in his voice, "You are really prosperous!"
"I'm just an intern!" She yelled angrily. As soon as she finished speaking, she paused and carefully probed, "Qin Qiaotian, where have you been in the past three years?"
Since he left that day on the playground, she has never seen him again, and she has never seen him come to school again...
Originally, she was angry with him for his behavior on the playground, but as time went by, she couldn't help but worry: Will Qin Qiaotian collapse when the Qin family encounters such a sudden change?
"Oh, these three years..." The voice opposite her was obviously much calmer than hers, and she dealt with it lightly, "I read some books, and then joined the army, just to live my life!"
The more he talked, the more pitiful he seemed. It was the image of a noble man who had given up on himself because of his family's downfall.
"That's it..." Tong Yao couldn't see his meaningful smile at the moment, and simply felt that he was pitiful and full of sympathy, "Qin Qiaotian, how are you doing... now?"
There is really a kind of person in the world who is simply easy to deceive, just like Tong Yao. Qin Qiaotian successfully led her into the misunderstanding zone with just a few words. So, in Tong Yao's understanding, the story goes like this -
As an aristocratic son whose family was in decline, he gave up on himself and couldn't keep up with his studies. So after reading some books, he chose to join the army and become a soldier in the army. He couldn't do anything well. Finally, after he was discharged, he became
A jobless vagrant, hanging around...
The same background is rich and the development is reasonable
"Not very good..." The smile on his face deepened, and he simply followed her thoughts and said, "I haven't eaten enough for a long time..."
He touched his belly with his big palm: I have been really busy recently, and I haven’t had a good meal in a long time.
Tong Yao believed his confusing words and immediately felt extremely guilty: Although she had not had a good life in the past three years, she still managed to make ends meet by herself and had enough to eat every day! Qin Qiaotian was really... so depraved!
"Tong Yao, can I come to seek refuge with you?" He spoke pitifully, deliberately poking at her weakness, "After all, we have grown up together. Now that you are rich, you can't ignore me?"
The last sentence even meant to be a rogue, making Tong Yao lower his shoulders in embarrassment.
Both emotionally and rationally, she wanted to help Qin Qiaotian, but...she didn't have much money, so how could she help?
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence!" He smiled happily on the phone, and just as he was about to say something, there was an unusual noise next to him, and he hurriedly said, "I have to work...
"And hung up the phone
Do I have to work?
This sentence can trigger people's infinite reverie!
Let’s imagine what a “gangster” can do: if it’s more inspiring, it can be like moving bricks at a construction site; if it’s more outrageous, it can be like hanging out with rich women on the street; if it’s more bleak, it can be like working in a foot-washing room in a hotel...
So Tong Yao's sympathy overflowed...
As soon as she was exposed, she didn't even have basic IQ: How could a gangster know her phone number? How could he know that she was in Moscow? How could he waste money on international long distance calls to chat with her?
At the same time, thousands of miles away, a subordinate came in to show him a fine gun in his hand. When he heard Qin Qiaotian talking on the phone with such resentment and pretentiousness, he was so shocked that he froze at the door and couldn't even go in or out...
The title of lieutenant general, deputy minister of national defense, just said pitifully: 'I'm not living well, I don't have enough to eat...'
This...how can he be embarrassed as a "spectator"?
