After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

It was not until three months later that they reunited with Tao Mindai's childhood friend at Aoshan Airport.

Jiang Baige went to wait for the luggage, while Tao Mindai went to find her childhood friend who had arrived earlier than them, had already picked up the luggage but had not left.

"Bai Ge, this is my childhood friend, Yu Xiaobei."

Yu Xiaobei was wearing a big brown woolen hat, which made her face look only as big as a palm. Her long hair wrapped in the hat hung down from the sides of her ears, covering another one-third of her already small face. Extending downwards, her body became even thinner, as if it could be broken with a single force from two hands.

But in fact she is very tall, estimated to be close to 1.7 meters.

She smiled at Jiang Baige, but the smile seemed weak, not sure if it was because she was cold or hungry.

Jiang Baige, who had just got off the plane and was running around to move her luggage, with her back slightly sweating, her face flushed, and her whole body emitting heat, seemed to be in two completely different countries.

Tao Mindai seemed to notice this as well and she covered her mouth and laughed.

Yu Xiaobei didn't know what she was laughing at. She tilted her head, her two black pearl-like eyes wide open, with a kind of naivety and ignorance of the world.

Only then did Jiang Baige notice that Yu Xiaobei was actually wearing makeup.

Her makeup skills seem to be good and natural. It is not heavy makeup, but more of a daily bare-faced makeup. But in fact, she has all the false eyelashes and colored contact lenses, and she uses eyeliner to disguise the sparse lower eyelashes as thick.

The makeup was lightly applied on her face, creating a blurry feeling that made it hard to tell whether it was real or fake.

"You can't walk after seeing a beautiful woman?" Tao Mindai patted Jiang Baige's shoulder, "You even forgot to take your luggage?"

Jiang Baige then noticed that there were two suitcases between Tao Mindai and her, but she had never looked at the luggage conveyor belt just now.

"Ah, sorry..."

"Luckily your suitcase is colorful, so there's no way I could make a mistake."

Jiang Baige's suitcase was solid color, but it was covered with a protective bag. Although the bag was black, it was covered with fluorescent pink, green, and yellow graffiti, just like a graffiti wall, with the words "Come see me, come see me" written on it.

"I can't help it." Jiang Baige shook her head, "I had my luggage taken by mistake by an old lady before, so I had to make something fancy."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Yu Xiaobei's luggage cart and exclaimed, "Oh my God, why did you bring so much luggage..."

In addition to a 28-inch aluminum suitcase, there is also a 20-inch carry-on case and a backpack that can hold a laptop. This does not include the canvas bag that Yu Xiaobei hangs on her right shoulder.

"Won't your luggage be overweight?"

Yu Xiaobei pursed her lips, smiled and shook her head: "No... I only checked the large suitcase, and brought the rest on the plane. The stuff wasn't very heavy, mostly just clothes."

"She is different from us..." Tao Mindai looked at Yu Xiaobei with a smile and said in her hometown dialect, "Our Beibei wants to be a big star."

Beibei?

Something flashed through Jiang Baige's mind and she stopped.

——"Hey, I just found out during this Chinese New Year that my childhood friend has gone crazy..."

After returning from winter vacation one year, Tao Mindai once said this to her roommates.

What year was that?

Jiang Baige raised her head and looked at the backs of the two people who were walking forward side by side without noticing that she was lagging behind.

——"Oh my god, so pitiful. What happened?"

——"It's not going well at work... She has always wanted to be a star, but it seems like she was deceived and can't accept it..."

——"Am I putting too much pressure on myself? Oh, it's so hard to find a job now. I'm thinking if I can't find a job, I should just continue my doctoral studies..."

According to Tao Mindai, after her childhood friend graduated, because he did not sign with any company, he had to move around various crews on his own, hoping to get one or two good roles, but he was accidentally taken advantage of by the casting director of one of the crews.

But after she "sacrificed herself", the man did not give her any role and brainwashed her, saying that he had recommended her to many crews, but because she was too fat and too ugly, she did not meet the crew's requirements and did not seize the opportunity, which also brought shame to him as the recommender.

The childhood friend was brainwashed and obediently lost weight and had plastic surgery, but she didn't have much money, and doing these things required a lot of money, so she listened to the man and took out loans everywhere... But every time she asked about a job, the man just said three words: wait a little longer.

Then, the man suddenly disappeared.

She went to his company and crew to look for him, but everyone said that he had quit the company a long time ago. Only then did she realize that she had been cheated.

Although only a few months had passed, she was completely unrecognizable, exhausted both physically and mentally. Not only did she have no savings, she was also heavily in debt.

She didn't dare go home. Later, her mother found her and learned what happened to her. She was angry and resentful, but there was nothing she could do because she was already in a trance at that time - in short, crazy.

Tao Mindai also learned about this through her mother.

Because they all lived in the same unit’s staff compound when they were young, and the mothers of the two families were colleagues, the two daughters were in the same class since kindergarten and were only separated when Tao Mindai was admitted to a key high school.

Her mother told her this story to remind her not to be deceived by a man who came from nowhere.

After all, they were also looking for jobs at that time, and Tao Mindai was the one who was most interested in the entertainment industry among the people in the dormitory because she was a fan of celebrities. Her mother was worried that she would also go down a "road of no return".

So, this conversation took place in the second semester of my second year of graduate school.

They have started to worry about finding a job after graduation, but they are not that anxious because there is still a year left and they even have time to apply for a doctorate... or something like that.

Inferring from this, the incident in which Tao Mindai’s “childhood friend” went crazy happened during... this winter vacation.

——"Beibei...what, Beibei...is missing?"

Jiang Baige later heard Tao Mindai receive such a call.

She spoke in her native dialect and never told them what happened on the phone afterwards.

So when she mentioned "Xiao Bei" and "Yu Xiao Bei" this time, Jiang Baige did not immediately connect all of this.

Until she just pronounced the word "Beibei" in her hometown dialect.

It was exactly the same as what Jiang Baige heard that day.

But Jiang Baige will remember this incident, not only because of the pronunciation, but also because after that phone call, Tao Mindai was depressed for a long time, and even reduced her three meals a day to one.

Finally, Jiang Baige couldn't stand it anymore and dragged the people to the snack street to find food.

Because Jiang Baige’s friends all said that even if a person has a poor appetite, he or she can eat a few more bites when dining with her.

Tao Mindai is no exception.

She stirred the spaghetti in front of her, ate a few strands, picked up two French fries, stuffed them into her mouth, and took a sip of kiwi juice. She said, "The reason why she trusts that person so much is because that crew...I recommended her to go there."
