"Okay, when the child in your stomach is born, I want to be the child's godmother."
"Okay, no problem."
After chatting with Jiang Jingqi for a while, Zhou Manchun was in a good mood. The two of them held hands and walked up the escalator. Along the way, Jiang Jingqi subconsciously protected Zhou Manchun, afraid that she would get hurt.
"Xiaoqi, it's not that serious. I'm only a month pregnant. It's fine." Zhou Manchun looked down and smiled. Her soft hand gently rested on her flat stomach.
"I'm protecting my future godson, not you. Isn't that right, godson?" Jiang Jingqi bent down and touched Zhou Manchun's stomach.
Zhou Manchun raised her head and casually glanced at the people on the escalator. However, she was instantly in a daze.
The escalator that she and Jiang Jingqi took was the one that went up, but Lin Xingyan was standing on the one that went down!
Zhou Manchun thought that she was seeing things. She rubbed her eyes and mumbled, "Xingyan."
Jiang Jingqi, who was beside her, asked in confusion, "Who?"
Zhou Manchun desperately turned her head to look at the escalator that went down to the first floor of the mall. She was definitely not seeing things. Lin Xingyan was wearing a khaki trench coat today. Although the mall was crowded, Zhou Manchun would never forget this face for the rest of her life.
Helpless, the two of them went up and down. When Zhou Manchun reached the second floor, Lin Xingyan was long gone.
"Xiaochun, who did you see just now?" Jiang Jingqi asked carefully. She could tell that Zhou Manchun's expression was a little uneasy.
Zhou Manchun reached out and held Jiang Jingqi's hand, "Xiaoqi, I told you before that I used to have a good friend, but she passed away in a car accident. I think I saw her just now. She was taking the escalator down."
Jiang Jingqi smiled in disbelief, "Xiaochun, people say that a pregnant woman is stupid for three years. You've just started your pregnancy, how can you be stupid? The dead can't come back to life. You definitely didn't see your good friend. Maybe it was someone who looked like her. "
"Impossible, I can't be wrong. That person was Xingyan." Zhou Manchun suddenly frowned. She leaned against the railing on the second floor of the mall and looked down, unwilling to give up. However, she still couldn't find Lin Xingyan.
Jiang Jingqi continued to laugh at her stupidity, "See, you can't find her. Alright, Big Miss, I'm starving. My godson will be starving too. Let's go eat hotpot."
That night, Jiang Jingqi was in high spirits, but Zhou Manchun didn't have much of an appetite. She kept thinking about Lin Xingyan. She had a feeling that Lin Xingyan was back!
On the day of the school anniversary, the woman who played the violin on stage was definitely Lin Xingyan!
But, if Lin Xingyan was really back, why didn't she come looking for her? Zhou Manchun vaguely sensed something fishy about the matter.
Before Lin Xingyan's car accident, the Lin family and the Zhou family had a good relationship. However, after her car accident, she left the country in a hurry. Zhao Lizi told her that Lin Xingyan's parents had gone to another city. Every time she wanted to ask more questions, Zhao Lizi's expression would turn ugly. As a result, Zhou Manchun didn't dare to continue asking.
After the two finished eating hotpot, they left the mall. It was already past 8pm. Zhou Manchun took out her phone from her bag and glanced at it. There were no new messages on WeChat or her phone. Jin Beisen still hadn't called.
Zhou Manchun pouted. Her slightly frozen fingers retracted into her coat. Since Jin Beisen was ignoring her, she wouldn't go back tonight. She wanted him to be anxious and feel what it was like to be ignored.
Famous City Garden.
Zhou Manchun returned home alone. There was still a light in the living room. Zhao Lizi was sitting on the sofa, covered with a wool blanket, watching a TV series quietly.
When Zhao Lizi heard the noise, she thought that there was a thief in the house. She looked at the direction of the exit vigilantly. She saw that it was Zhou Manchun who came back. She frowned and looked at her sharply.
"Xiaochun, why are you back so late?" Zhao Lizi looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Manchun turned on the light. She thought that her parents were asleep, so she didn't turn on the light. She changed her shoes silently, walked over, and sat next to Zhao Lizi.
"Mom, I have something to ask you." Zhou Manchun hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and said with a dull look in her eyes.
"Silly girl, you came back alone? It's so late and it's so cold outside. Next time you go out, remember to wear a scarf, okay? " Zhao Lizi looked at Zhou Manchun with heartache. Her eyes lit up. She noticed that Zhou Manchun was wearing a V-neck sweater under her coat, so she said a few more words.
Zhou Manchun smiled and said, "Mom, I understand."
"Tell me, what do you want to ask me?" Zhao Lizi's elegant face revealed a smile as she spoke calmly.
"Nothing much, I just want to know where Xingyan's parents went. I saw Xingyan at the mall today. She … she doesn't seem to be dead." Zhou Manchun looked at Zhao Lizi and closely observed the slight changes in her eyes. She realized that when she said that Xingyan wasn't dead, Zhao Lizi's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Don't spout nonsense in the middle of the night. I don't know where they went. After you guys got into the car accident, they moved and haven't contacted us." Zhao Lizi's eyes flickered. She actually knew that Xingyan's parents went to C City, but she didn't want to tell Zhou Manchun.
Let bygones be bygones. Since the Zhou and Lin families were destined to never be friends, there was no need to care about others.
Zhou Manchun said anxiously, "Mom, I'm not spouting nonsense. I really saw Xingyan. Also, on the day of the school anniversary, I was watching the program below the stage. The last program was Xingyan performing a song called 'The Star'. I wrote this song, so how could I not know? In this world, besides Xingyan, who else would know how to play this song? Mom, I'm definitely not mistaken. Just tell me, where did Xingyan's parents go? "
"I'm not a police officer. How would I know?" Zhao Lizi suddenly furrowed her brows and said in a deep voice. Her expression was a little awkward.
"But I've been abroad for four years. Haven't you guys contacted me in those four years?" Zhou Manchun asked in confusion. She didn't believe what had happened after her car accident. Why were her parents unwilling to tell her even at death's door?
Zhao Lizi was a little annoyed by Zhou Manchun's questions. Her sharp gaze swept across Zhou Manchun's face coldly and she laughed mockingly, "Silly child, why are you so concerned about other people's family matters?"
