Qiao Lian lifted her head and looked around the room. The moment she lifted her head, she saw someone walk out of the room. 13579246810
She didn't pay much attention to it and continued to wait, staring at the entrance of the cafe.
Five minutes passed.
She looked at her cell phone. Zi Chuan hadn't arrived, nor had he called her.
She stared at her cell phone quietly. After another five minutes, she impatiently dialed Zi Chuan's number again.
She heard a beeping sound from the other end of the line. After a long time, no one picked up.
Qiao Lian frowned. Could it be that he hadn't heard the phone ring on his way here?
She sat patiently in her seat.
Half an hour had passed since Zi Chuan had said he would be here.
But he still hadn't arrived.
Qiao Lian continued to call him on her cell phone.
She could still get through, but no one picked up.
She stood there in a daze. She suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
Could it be that … Zi Chuan had gotten into a car accident on his way here?
She widened her eyes and walked out of the cafe. She stood at the entrance and craned her neck to look in his direction.
Zi Chuan had said that he was ten minutes away from here. Even if he was driving, there was a limit to how far he could drive in ten minutes in Beijing.
She paced back and forth in the cafe restlessly, looking around from time to time, hoping that he would arrive. Then she picked up her cell phone and dialed his number over and over again.
Another half an hour passed.
No one picked up and he didn't come.
Qiao Lian couldn't sit still anymore. She had always been a jumpy person. It wasn't easy for her to sit there and wait for him for an hour and a half.
Besides, the fact that she could get through to him meant that his cell phone wouldn't run out of battery.
She continued to call him on the phone as she flagged down a taxi. She asked the taxi driver a question that he didn't understand. "Sir, can you take me around this cafe? Make sure all the roads are within ten minutes of walking?"
She looked out of the window anxiously. There wasn't a single car accident on this road.
She became even more anxious.
She ran to the nearest police station and asked if there had been any car accidents in the vicinity.
The answer she got was, "There was a car accident, but they took care of it themselves and left."
It couldn't be Zi Chuan.
Zi Chuan had always been punctual and he had always been meticulous.
Every day, she would arrange a time with Zi Chuan to log in. If he was late by even a minute, he would send her a text to let her know.
She walked out of the police station and tried to call Zi Chuan, but his phone was already switched off.
Qiao Lian hurriedly returned to the cafe, not daring to move.
She was afraid that Zi Chuan would come looking for her and not see her. She had always been an impatient person, so she sat in the cafe for the whole afternoon.
She stared at everyone who entered the cafe. Whenever she saw someone of a similar age, she would go over and ask, "Hello, are you Zi Chuan?"
No.
Still not.
Not yet.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, Zi Chuan was still not there.
She sat on the seat of the cafe in a daze, and a vague thought came to her mind: He probably wouldn't come over.
According to his personality, he wouldn't leave her alone in the cafe for so long.
She bit her lip and stared silently at the outside.
It was already dark in Beijing, and cars were coming and going on the streets.
At this moment, her phone finally rang.
