"Okay, when your baby is born, I want to be a mother."
"Sure, no problem."
After chatting with Jiang Jingqi for a while, Zhou Manzhen was in quite a good mood. The two of them held hands and went up the escalator. Along the way, Jiang Jingqi subconsciously protected Zhou Manzhen, afraid that she would get hurt.
"Little Qi, don't exaggerate so much. I've only been pregnant for more than a month, it's fine." Zhou Manzhen lowered her eyes and smiled, gently placing her soft hand on her flat belly.
"I'm protecting my future son, not you, right, son?" Jiang Jingqi bent down and also touched Zhou Manzhen's stomach.
Zhou Manzhen raised her head and casually glanced at the people on the escalator. However, in that instant, she was lost in thought.
The escalator that she and Jiang Jingqi rode on was the escalator, but there was actually Lin Xingyan standing on the escalator that went down!
Zhou Manzhu thought she had seen wrongly. She rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Xingyan."
Jiang Jingqi asked in confusion, "Who?"
She definitely couldn't be mistaken, Lin Xingyan was wearing a khaki coloured windbreaker today. Although there were many people coming and going in the mall, but this face of hers, Zhou Manzhu would never forget it in her entire life.
Helpless, the two of them went up and down. When Zhou Man arrived at the second floor, Lin Xingyan was already gone.
"Xiaochun, who did you see just now?" Jiang Jingqi asked carefully, she felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Manzhen's face.
Zhou Manzhen reached out her hand and shook Jiang Jingqi's hand, "Xiaoqi, I told you before, I had a good friend, but she died in a car accident. I seemed to see her just now, she rode on the escalator down."
Jiang Jingqi smiled in disbelief, "Xiaochun, they always say that you were dumb when you were pregnant for three years. You are only pregnant now, how did you become so dumb?" People can't be revived when they die, so the person you saw was definitely not your best friend, but someone who looked very similar to her."
"Impossible, I can't be wrong, that's Xing Yan." Zhou Weiqing suddenly frowned, lying on the fence on the second floor of the mall. He looked down, unwilling to give up, but he still couldn't find any trace of Lin Xingyan.
However, Jiang Jingqi kept on mocking her for being dumb, "Look, you didn't find it, right? Alright, young miss, I'm starving, and I'm starving my dry son too, let's go eat hotpot."
At night, Jiang Qi was in high spirits, but Zhou Manzhen had no appetite to eat. She kept thinking about Lin Xingyan, she had a premonition that Lin Xingyan had returned!
On that day's school a iversary, the woman playing the violin on the stage must be Lin Xingyan!
However, if Lin Xingyan really did come back, why wouldn't she come looking for him? Zhou Manzhen could vaguely sense that something was amiss.
Before Lin Xingyan's car accident, the Lin and Zhou families had a good relationship, but after her car accident, she hurriedly left the country. Zhao Lizi told her that Lin Xingyan's parents had gone to another city, and every time she wanted to ask more questions, Zhao Liqi would turn pale, causing Zhou Manzhen to not dare to ask any further.
The two finished their hot pot and left the mall. It was already past 8. Zhou Manzhen took out his phone from his bag and checked his WeChat. There was no new news on the phone, but Jin Beisen still hadn't called.
Zhou Manzhen pursed her lips, retracting her frozen fingers into her coat. Since Jin Beiseng had ignored her, she wouldn't go back tonight. She also made him anxious, letting him experience the feeling of being ignored.
Famous city garden.
Zhou Manjing went back home by herself. There was a light on in the living room. Zhao Lizi was sitting on the sofa with a wool blanket over her. She was quietly watching TV.
When Zhao Lizi heard the commotion, she thought the police officer had arrived. She cautiously looked in the direction of the exit, only to see Zhou Manzhen had returned. She frowned and looked at her with a sharp gaze.
"Xiaochun, why did you come back so late?" Zhao Lizi looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Man turned on the lights. She thought her parents had gone to sleep, so she didn't turn on the lights. She quietly changed her shoes, walked over, and sat beside Zhao Lizi.
"Mom, I have something to ask you." Zhou Manzhu hesitated for a moment before she pursed her lips and said with a dull look in her eyes.
"Silly girl, did you come back alone? It's so late, and it's so cold out, do you know about the Wrap Scarf next time you go out? " Zhao Lizi's heart ached as she looked at Zhou Manzhen. Her eyes were flashing. She noticed that Zhou Manzhu was wearing a V-neck sweater under her coat. She said a few more words.
Zhou Manzhu smiled and said, "Mom, I understand."
"Say it, what do you want to ask me?" A trace of a smile appeared on Zhao Lizi's elegant face.
"Actually it's nothing much, I just want to know where Xingyan's parents went. I saw Xingyan in the shopping mall today, she??" She doesn't seem to be dead." Zhou Manzhu looked at Zhao Lizhi and carefully observed the subtle changes in her eyes. When she realized that Lin Xingyan was still alive, Zhao Lizhi's brow suddenly furrowed.
"Don't spout nonsense in the middle of the night. I don't know where they went. Ever since you guys got into the car accident, they moved and didn't contact us." She actually knew that Lin Xingyan's parents had gone to C City. It was just that she didn't want to tell Zhou Manzhen.
Let bygones be bygones. Since the Zhou and Lin Families are fated not to be friends, there's no need to worry about others.
Zhou Manjing anxiously said, "Mom, I'm not spouting nonsense, I really saw Xing Yan. There was also that day on the school a iversary, when I was watching a show below the stage. The last program on the school a iversary was a song by Xing Yan, it was called 'Star', and it was written by me, how could I not know it? In this world, besides Lin Xingyan, who else would play this tune? "Mom, I am definitely not mistaken, just tell me, where did Xingyan's parents go?"
"I'm not a cop, how would I know?" Zhao Lizi frowned and said with a deep voice. She looked a bit embarrassed.
"But I've been abroad for four years. Have you all not contacted each other during these four years?" She didn't believe it. What happened after her accident that year? Why were her parents unwilling to tell her even after their deaths?
After being asked by Zhou Manzhu, Zhao Lizi became a little irritated. She swept a cold gaze across Zhou Manzhen's face and said with a mocking smile, "Silly child, why are you so concerned about other people's affairs?"
"How is it just someone else, Xingyan is my good friend." Zhou Manzhen's chin was slightly raised as she spoke in a loud and clear voice, but her heart was not in a good mood.
