The bell rang three times and someone answered the phone. "Hello, the Kawashima family." Jiang Lizi's mother's voice came from the phone. "Hi, hello, my surname is Shinozuka, is Eriko at home?" Kasei said. For a moment, the other party was silent.He had a premonition. "She's gone out," said her mother, and Kassari had expected her to reply that way. "When will she be back?" "I'm not sure about this." "Excuse me, where did she go? No matter when I call, she is always not at home." This is the third call this week.

"She just went out and went to a relative's house." Her mother's voice was a bit flustered, which made Yicheng feel anxious. "Then, can I ask her to call me when she comes back? It's Shinozuka from Yongming University, she should know." "Shinozuka-san...is that right?" "I'm sorry to trouble you." "that……" "Please say." After hearing 10% of the response, her mother didn't answer right away.After a few seconds, the voice finally came. "It's really embarrassing, but I hope you don't call in the future."

"what?" "Thanks to your kindness, I have been with her for a while. But she is still young, please go find someone else, she also thinks it is better." "Wait a minute, what do you mean? Did she say that she doesn't want to associate with me anymore?" "...That's not what it means, but in short, she can no longer associate with you. I'm sorry, we have difficulties, please don't pursue it. Goodbye." "Ah, wait……" The cry was too late to be conveyed, or it should be said that the other party deliberately ignored it, and the call was hung up.

Yicheng left the phone booth, as if in a cloud. I have lost contact with Jiang Lizi for more than a week. The last time I spoke on the phone was last Wednesday. She said that she would go shopping for clothes the next day and that she would wear new clothes to practice on Friday.However, she suddenly asked for leave for Friday's practice.It is said that Tang Zexuesui had contacted the club about this matter, and it was Tang Zexuesui who called, saying that the professor suddenly assigned chores, and neither she nor Jiang Lizi could participate in the practice that day. That night, Yicheng called Jiang Lizi's house.But, just like today, she was told that she had gone to a relative's house and would not be returning.He also called on Saturday night, when she was still away.Jiang Lizi's mother was obviously looking for an excuse to prevaricate, her tone was very unnatural, giving people a feeling of embarrassment, as if she thought that Yicheng's phone call was a kind of trouble.Later he called several times and got the same answer.Although he left a message asking the other party to pass it on, asking Jiang Lizi to call him when he got home, but perhaps it was not conveyed smoothly, and she never called back.

Since then, Jiang Lizi has never attended the practice of the social dance club.Not only Jiang Lizi, but even Tang Zexuesui did not come, and there was no way to ask questions.Today was Friday, and they still didn't show up, so he slipped out to make a phone call during practice, only to hear the statement suddenly. In any case, Yicheng couldn't think of a reason why Jiang Lizi suddenly hated him.What Jiang Lizi's mother said didn't mean anything like that.She said "we have difficulties", what exactly does she mean?With all kinds of thoughts circling in his mind, Yicheng returned to the practice field in the gymnasium.A female commune member ran over as soon as she saw him. "Senior Shinozuka, I have a strange call for you."

"how?" "I said I was looking for the person in charge of the social dance club of Tsinghua Women's University. When I asked Senior Cangqiao to ask for leave, he said that the president of Yongming University would also be fine." "who is it?" "He didn't say." "understood." Yicheng walked to the office on the first floor of the gymnasium. The receiver of the phone placed in front of the guard hadn't been hung up yet.After obtaining the consent of the guard, Yicheng picked up the receiver. "Hi, hello." "The president of Yongming University?" A man's voice asked, the voice was very low, but it seemed very young.

"yes." "Is there a woman named Cangqiao in Tsinghua University, Cangqiao Xiangmiao?" "So what?" Hearing the other party's rude words, Yi Cheng was no longer polite when he spoke. "Go tell her and tell her to pay quickly." "money?" "The rest of the money. I've taken care of everything for her, and of course I have to collect the rest of the remuneration from her. As agreed, the deposit is 120,000 yuan, and the balance payment is 130,000 yuan. Tell her to pay quickly. Anyway, the social expenses are hers. Take care of it."

"Pay for what? What's done?" "I can't tell you that." "In this case, isn't it strange to ask me to pass the message?" The other party laughed in a low voice. "It's not surprising at all. It's most effective for you to deliver the message." "What's the meaning?" "What do you say?" The phone hung up. Yicheng had no choice but to put down the receiver.The doorman looked surprised, and Yicheng left the office immediately. A deposit of 120,000 yuan, a final payment of 130,000 yuan, a total of 250,000 yuan... Canghashi Kanae pays this money, what does that person want?According to the voice on the phone, the man should not be kind.His claim that his message works best is also dubious.He wanted to call Kanae later, but he always felt reluctant.After breaking up, they never talked again, and now his mind is full of Jiang Lizi.

As soon as the practice at the social dance club was over, Yicheng drove home.There is a special letter box installed on the door of his room.The mail sent to him will be put in it by the servants.He opened it, and there were two direct mail copies and one limited-time special delivery.The sender is not written on the special delivery, and the address and name of the recipient seem to be drawn one by one with a ruler, and the handwriting is very strange.He entered the room, sat down on the bed, and opened the envelope with foreboding. There is only one photo in it. The moment he saw that photo, Yicheng was struck by lightning, and a violent storm blew up in his mind.
