Surprise! After wearing the avatar, I actually...

At noon, the two dine together.

Su Shuang walked straight to a KFC, Xu Wu hesitated, but followed in.

When ordering, Su Shuang specially ordered two servings.Xu Wu looked at the fried chicken burger in front of him, raised and lowered his hand several times.

Su Shuang looked at him coldly: He still remembered that Xu Wu once said on TV that fried food was bad for his health, but he never ate it himself.

They celebrated their birthdays at the same time that day, he only had fried chicken burgers that others looked down upon, while Xu Wu had fireworks and blessings all over the city.

Su Shuang picked up a piece of crispy chicken and took a bite.

Obviously delicious, right?

After Su Shuang solved it in twos and twos, Xu Wu still didn't move.

"It's fine if you don't eat."

Anyone could see Su Shuang's displeasure.

Xu Wu looked at him and ate it reluctantly.

……

When Su Shuang finished filming the afternoon scene and was about to eat, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Xu Wu all afternoon.

Ask casually: "Where is Xu Wu?"

"In Africa."

……Almost forgot.

"I'm asking, what about Xu Qing?"

"He, it seems that he ate something bad at noon, and he went to the hospital with gastroenteritis."

Su Shuang was speechless: "..."

For the next two days, Xu Wu didn't show up again. Su Shuang was busy filming and didn't have time to visit him in the hospital.

Two days later, Xu Wu was discharged from the hospital and came to visit the crew——

"Don't follow me."

Su Shuang said without looking back.

Since returning to Xu Qing, Xu Wu has never had any cover for him.

As long as Xu Wu has time, he will come to the set to watch him, and his gestures are very intimate.

Today Xu Wu came back just after he was discharged from the hospital. Su Shuang said impatiently, "Are you free? Can you leave me alone for a while."

Xu Wu is actually very busy.

He is now taking over the company's affairs, and time is squeezed out.

"I've only been here for 10 minutes." Xu Wu looked helpless.

"But you are annoying." Su Shuang said coldly.

"..." Being rejected one after another, coupled with the previous events, Xu Wu's complexion also became unsightly.

"Anyway, don't follow me."

Su Shuang turned a blind eye and walked away quickly.

……

One minute later, Su Shuang turned her head: Xu Wuzhen didn't follow.

Ji An happened to meet Su Shuang, and raised his hand to greet him: "Hi~ what are you doing? You look so ugly."

Su Shuang stabbed him out of the corner of her eye: "It's none of your business."

"Is that young master of the Xu family chasing you?"

"Hi gossip."

"Oh, it seems that I have no chance at all." Ji An said with a smile.

Su Shuang glanced at him, then suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbed both sides of his cheeks, and flattened the corners of his upturned lips.

Ji An: ...?

"You look like him when you don't smile."

After finishing speaking, Su Shuang couldn't help laughing.

Ji An, who seemed to have taken a stand-in literary script:? ? ?

"Fuck, who is Bai Yueguang in your heart?"

Su Shuang didn't answer.

-

……

Time blinks to New Year's Eve.

On this most solemn day of the year, the crew gave most of the actors a holiday.Ji An was an orphan with no relatives, so he chose to stay on the set.

Su Shuang was planning to go back for the New Year.He stayed on the set until New Year's Eve, finished the script review with Ji An in the morning, and when Su Shuang was packing his things at noon, heavy snow fell in the sky.

Su Shuang's mobile phone received an orange alert from Blizzard.

"What a big snowstorm." Standing in front of the window, Ji An sighed: the snowstorm almost dyed the world outside the window white, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"You wait until the snow stops before leaving? It's too unsafe to take a taxi now."

Su Shuang looked out the window and nodded.

"Hopefully the snow will stop in the afternoon."

Su Shuang also hoped so.

However, in the afternoon, the hopes of the two were in vain: the snow did not show any intention of stopping, and it continued to fall until night.

In just a few hours, heavy snow flooded the road and traffic was on the verge of paralysis.

"Celebrate the New Year with me." Ji An patted Su Shuang on the shoulder.

This is also impossible.Su Shuang called Li Lian and told her that she would not go back at night.

The clouds were wrapped in wind and snow, and the sky slowly darkened.

In this weather, there is no way to deliver takeaway.Fortunately, the hotel where the crew is located has a kitchen. The chef has gone home for the New Year, and there is no one in the whole hotel.

Ji An cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner with the ingredients in the kitchen refrigerator.

"I really didn't expect that I would spend the New Year with you." Ji An raised his glass, "I thought no matter how bad it was, you would spend the New Year with Master Xu."

Xu Wu was not the clingy type - especially after he noticed Su Shuang's indifference.

During this time, the two rarely communicated.

"I really can't see through you." Ji An shook the wine, looked at Su Shuang through the wine, his face was hazy and turbulent: "I can tell that Xu Qing likes you very much. Tsk, this name is also related to the drama. The same as in the middle, are you playing wildly?"

Su Shuang didn't even give him a look.

Ji An had long suspected that the script of "The End of the World" was tailor-made by Xu Qing for Su Shuang, even the name was the same as theirs.

"Xu Qing is really a local tyrant. After all, he is a wealthy family. After passing this village, there is no such shop. You really don't have to take the test..."

"He's not Xu Qing!"

"……what?"

Ji An looked up ignorantly, not quite understanding what Su Shuang meant.

However, when he looked up, he only saw Su Shuang raising his wine glass and drinking it down in one gulp.

A few drops of wine slid down the corners of his lips, caressed his graceful neck, and entered his collar.It's beautiful in the light.

Ji An looked away and got up to get a large glass of water.

When he came back, he saw Su Shuang holding the phone with a solemn expression.

"what happened?"

Su Shuang pursed her lips: He called home just now, but Li Lian didn't answer.

Li Lian doesn't know how to use a mobile phone, only a landline.In the next hour, Su Shuang called seven times, with an average of one call every 10 minutes. If Li Lian was at home, she would definitely receive it.

Li Lian is not at home, where can she go?

"I want to go back." After the eighth time there was no answer, Su Shuang couldn't wait any longer and planned to go back and have a look.

The snow outside is still falling, but it is a little smaller than in the afternoon.

"Wait! Now the road is blocked by heavy snow outside, what do you rely on to get back?"

You can't go back if you walk - Li Lian's home is more than ten kilometers away from the crew.Su Shuang checked the road conditions and found that most of the roads in the city had been cleared, so she could go back by car.

But in this weather, can we really get a taxi?

"My car was sent for maintenance the day before yesterday..." Ji An said, "Sorry, I want to send you off too."

During this period of time he was quite busy, Su Shuang hadn't taken the driver's license test, and now he regretted it.

He doesn't have many friends, many of them are nodding acquaintances, not to mention being able to go out to pick him up in a snowstorm on New Year's Eve.

Zhang Zhiyuan went back to his hometown for the New Year, but there was no hope; Xu Yi was still running away from home, and he didn't even come back for his grandma's funeral.

Holding the phone, Su Shuang fidgeted and called Li Lian again, but no one answered.

"or……"

Seeing that Su Shuang was so anxious that her lips were biting white, Ji An cautiously suggested: "You ask the young master of the Xu family to pick you up? Or ask him to send someone over?"

Before Su Shuang stabbed him, Ji An shut his mouth knowingly: "Pretend I didn't say anything."

Coincidentally - as soon as Ji An finished speaking, Su Shuang received a text message.It was a New Year greeting text message, with only four simple words: [Happy New Year].

The sender was Xu Wu.

Su Shuang looked at the text message, gritted her teeth and pressed the dial button on the top.

The call was almost instant - Xu Wu seemed to be looking at his phone, waiting for someone's reply.

"……Hey?"

Xu Wu's voice was very noisy, and the fireworks could be faintly heard.

"..." There was an eerie silence on the other end of the phone.

"Su Shuang? Is that you?"

"...It's me." Su Shuang said awkwardly, "You, do you have time?"

"Nevermind."

After Su Shuang finished speaking quickly, her hand was about to press the registration button, her cheeks blushed because of embarrassment, and Ji An next to her was stunned.

"Yes, tell me, what's the matter?"

Xu Wu's voice was very calm, as if he had changed places, the noisy voice faded away.

Su Shuang whispered that she wanted him to pick her up.

With such a soft voice, Xu Wu actually heard: "Okay, I'll come right away. Tell me specifically, what happened?"

Su Shuang didn't want to tell him at first, but under Xu Wu's questioning, she still did.

In order to avoid wasting time, Xu Wu sent someone to Li Lian's house to check what was going on, while he himself rushed to the hotel to pick up Su Shuang.

Goodbye Xu Wu, Su Shuang has mixed feelings: Unexpectedly, he was the one who came to pick him up in the end.

His behavior is more and more like Xu Qing.When getting into the car, Xu Wu received a call: Li Lian is not at home, there is no one at home.

"She must have come to look for me." Su Shuang didn't even realize it, his voice was trembling: "She once said that she would spend the New Year with her family. I... I planned to go back, but suddenly it snowed heavily , I... it was my fault."

It's hard to imagine: a woman with mental retardation goes out to find her son on a snowy night—does she know the way?Will it slip?If you step into a pit...

Su Shuang was in a panic, and she couldn't care less about Xu Wu's partner, so she talked about it in one go.

Xu Wu listened quietly, and said without the slightest bit of impatience when he spoke, "Don't panic, we'll look around."

Su Shuang closed her mouth, her eyes still full of worry.

Xu Wu saw it: "Is she important to you?"

Su Shuang was startled, then nodded affirmatively: "It's very important."

"...I see." Xu Wu then started calling.

When the car drove downstairs to Li Lian's house, Xu Wu also received new news: Someone saw Li Lian near the bus stop sign.

The two rushed over immediately, but it was two hours ago, and the stop sign was empty, not even a single person waiting for the bus.

Li Lian doesn't know how to take the subway. If she wants to get to Su Shuang's film crew by bus, she has to take three buses. Once Li Lian asked, Su Shuang told her.

I followed the route of the bus to find the past, and within two stops, a bus that rolled over broke into Su Shuang's eyes.

At that time, he only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he ran up, and the car was already surrounded by traffic police.

Su Shuang couldn't express clearly, but fortunately Xu Wu followed him all the time.Under Xu Wu's maneuvering, Su Shuang learned about the situation of the bus: the road was slippery in the snow, the driver slid out directly when turning a corner, hit the fence on the side of the road, and the car overturned.

Fortunately, it was snowing and the driver did not dare to drive too fast. The driver and the passengers in the car only suffered some injuries, and no one died.

The injured driver and passenger have been taken to hospital.Su Shuang and Xu Wu rushed to the hospital, but Li Lian was not seen among the wounded.

At this time, Xu Wu received another message: After checking the surveillance on the bus, a woman who was very similar to Li Lian got off the bus one stop before the accident and turned into an alley by the side of the road.

Because the woman was wearing a hat, mask and scarf, she couldn't see her face clearly, but her figure and height were about the same.

Su Shuang chased from the hospital to the alley again.The alley is dark, like the alley in front of the old Wang's house.

There were no street lights, so Su Shuang walked in with the light of her mobile phone on, but stepped into the depths of the snowdrift.

Su Shuang slipped, Xu Wu followed closely behind him, and immediately helped him up.

After regaining her footing, Su Shuang thanked Xu Wu: "Thank you..."

When did he walk so far?The voice of thanking was weak, and the cold penetrated from the soles of the feet to the bones.

Xu Wu looked fine, his breath remained steady, and the palm holding him was warm.

"Are you ok?"

Ask yourself, if it were someone else, Su Shuang thought she would not accompany him to search for so long.So for Xu Wu's question, Su Shuang's tone softened a lot: "It's okay, let's continue walking?"

As if afraid that Xu Wu would find him, Su Shuang's right hand tightly grasped Xu Wu's sleeve——

Li Lian had nothing to do with him at all.

Xu Wu glanced at his red hands from the cold, and nodded.

……

The alleys are deep, the snow is getting deeper and deeper, and the road behind has many steps, making it even more difficult to walk.

Xu Wu kept holding Su Shuang's hand afterwards.His back is tall and firm, as if any difficulties in front of him will not become an obstacle for him.

Su Shuang followed him all the time, the heat spread from his palm to his chest, and it wasn't so cold anymore.

They walked and shouted Li Lian's name loudly.

There was a ditch ahead, filled with snow, to an unknown depth.A wooden ladder passed over the ditch, and was placed obliquely at the other end, four or five meters above the ground where they were.

The mobile phone lights swept around, and there was no other way to go—it seemed that people who usually pass by here climbed the ladder.

"Do you want to go there?" Xu Wu asked him.

Su Shuang nodded: He seemed to hear a response just now, it was a woman's voice, right above.

Xu Wu reached out and pushed the wooden ladder: "You go up first."

He was afraid that Su Shuang would fall, so he could react below.

Su Shuang held the wooden ladder with both hands and climbed up without any risk.

However, the moment he climbed up, as he exerted his foot force, the wooden ladder under his feet made a loud noise!

"Crack!"

The wooden ladder broke directly in the middle, broke into several pieces, and fell into the ditch below.

Su Shuang was dumbfounded: how should he go down?

What made him even more dumbfounded was that after climbing up, he realized that the ground was slanted, covered with snow, and there was a faint tendency to slide towards him...

etc!Seems like it's not just a trend! !

The ladder fell into the ditch below, and the fluffy snow fell under the weight of the ladder, mixed with sawdust.Xu Wu looked down for a while, and his voice became serious: "This is not a ditch, but a gap between two houses."

Su Shuang: "Gap?"

"We've been going upstairs just now—I guess this is an unfinished building, and we reached the top of the building unknowingly."

That is to say: he is standing on the roof of a sloping unfinished building right now?

"Then what should we do?" Su Shuang kept looking behind her, "The snow seems to be falling..."

The snow that has accumulated for a whole day can definitely knock Su Shuang off in an instant——

Xu Wu opened his arms towards him: "Jump down."

……What is he saying?

"Jump down, I'll catch you."
