Chapter 563 It’s her!

At 11 p.m., Lu Yuanqiu had just lain down on his bed when the door was suddenly pushed open. Bai Qingxia, wearing a nightgown, stood in the doorway and looked at him. Lu Yuanqiu, however, stood with his upper body straight, staring blankly at Bai Qingxia, waiting for her to speak.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Qingxia merely glanced at his bed before saying, "Never mind... it's alright, you can go to sleep."

After saying that, she gently closed the door. Lu Yuanqiu could hear her walking back to her room and closing the door from afar.

Silence returned to the room.

"What does that mean?" Lu Yuanqiu scratched his crotch, completely bewildered.

Does this girl want to stay with me for a while?
I guess so... I'm going to see Sister Li tomorrow, I probably won't be able to sleep.

It's also possible that after that night at the hotel, Bai Qingxia developed a liking for the feeling of being alone with him at night. Thinking of this, Lu Yuanqiu, lying on the bed, suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth and stretched his body comfortably with his arms outstretched.

Back in her room, Bai Qingxia stood by the bookshelf and opened the class notes she had just taken out of the shelf—the ones she had copied for Lu Yuanqiu.

I didn't notice it when I stayed here during the Chinese New Year, but I took a closer look at the bookshelf tonight and suddenly saw it through the gap.

There were also two slips of paper tucked into the notebook. One slip had the three characters "Lu Yuanqiu" written on it, and the other slip read, "On August 30, 2010, Bai Qingxia owes Lu Yuanqiu three loaves of bread, a schoolbag, a pencil case, and a pack of sanitary napkins."

They are all in her handwriting.

As she examined the two notes, Bai Qingxia's expression softened, and her eyes sparkled with warmth. She carefully tucked the notes back into the notebook and placed them back on the bookshelf.

It turns out that Lu Yuanqiu, like her, also collects these things.

the next day.

This is the last day of the May Day holiday. Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia never expected that most of their May Day holiday would be spent on the road looking for people.

After washing up, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia had a simple breakfast. Lujiang District was not close to them, and it would be convenient if there was a subway, but the subway would not be open until 2016. So Lu Yuanqiu asked Lu Tian to act as the driver for this search mission.

"What's wrong with you two? Going out for barbecue so early in the morning, and in Lujiang District no less," Lu Tian complained as he drove.

He kept rambling on on the way: "Once you get your driver's licenses this summer, you'll be able to drive your own cars, and I won't have to be your driver anymore."

"And you didn't even tell me you were coming back this time, the holiday is almost over."

Lu Yuanqiu said expressionlessly, "Dad, can you shut up?"

Lu Tian: "..."

His hand had already reached for the clothes rack on the passenger seat, but seeing Bai Qingxia's serious expression in the rearview mirror, Lu Tian withdrew his hand.

"Are you two really going for barbecue?"

He asked again, but no one responded.

The car stopped at a traffic light, and Lu Yuanqiu suddenly slapped his thigh, startling Lu Tian so much that he almost stepped on the gas and sped off.

"I just realized, are the barbecue restaurants closed so early in the morning?" Lu Yuanqiu turned to ask the two of them.

Bai Qingxia was unaware, but Lu Tian clearly only just realized what was happening. However, he was very imposing and turned around to scold, "You idiot! Aren't you going to talk nonsense?! You made me come all this way for nothing."

He then asked, "...How about we skip the barbecue? I'll take you two to eat something else?"

“It’s not a matter of whether to eat or not…” Lu Yuanqiu frowned, then waved his hand and said, “Forget it, let’s go first.” Lu Tian continued driving with a belly full of doubts. About half an hour later, the car stopped on the road where “Xiao Jiang Barbecue” was located. The three of them walked carefully along the side of the road. Lu Tian didn’t think anything of it at first, but the cautious look of Lu Yuanqiu and the other person made him uneasy.

In the end, Lu Yuanqiu, along with his father and Bai Qingxia, booked a double room at a hotel opposite Xiaojiang Barbecue Restaurant. The room's window faced the main entrance of Xiaojiang Barbecue Restaurant.

Lu Tian stood at the door of the room, staring blankly at the two people sitting on the bed, unsure whether to leave or not... Suddenly his phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw it was his wife.

Su Xiaoya: "Where did you take your son and the others?"

Lu Tian shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. They went to a hotel together and took me with them. Should I leave... or not?"

Su Xiaoya: "Aren't you going to talk nonsense?"

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia turned their heads at the same time, their expressions becoming increasingly stiff.

"..."

Around 3 PM, Lu Tian was eating his boxed lunch in the room when he looked up and asked, "You said you're here to arrest someone?"

"That sounds awful, let's find someone." Lu Yuanqiu explained, then suddenly his gaze froze as he saw movement coming from the barbecue restaurant.

A woman wearing a hat was seen taking out the trash from the open shop door. Although her face was not visible, Bai Qingxia, standing by the window, recognized her immediately: "It's her!"

Lu Yuanqiu immediately turned around and pressed Bai Qingxia down on the bed, saying, "You wait here, don't move, don't go out, my father and I will go."

"Is...is there still danger? Aren't we looking for someone?" Lu Tian asked, still confused, as he ate his boxed lunch.

Lu Yuanqiu turned to look at him: "Arrest him!"

Seeing his son run out, Lu Tian quickly followed behind, and as he closed the door, he also carefully gave Bai Qingxia a word of advice.

Lu Yuanqiu was mainly unsure if anyone else was keeping watch nearby like them. Ultimately, he was still unsure what Sister Li had done. To be on the safe side, Lu Yuanqiu didn't let Bai Qingxia show herself, since seeing him was the same as seeing Bai Qingxia.

The father and son reached the shop entrance. Lu Yuanqiu saw an ordinary-looking woman standing inside, bending over and sweeping the floor. Her hair under her baseball cap was shaved very short, even shorter than a man's. Thinking of how beautiful Sister Li used to be, if Bai Qingxia hadn't been so sure that this was Sister Li, Lu Yuanqiu really wouldn't have recognized her. What the hell had happened?!
"Sister Li."

Lu Yuanqiu walked into the store with a solemn expression and called out softly.

The woman with the broom turned around.

This was the first time Lu Yuanqiu had seen Sister Li without any makeup. She had a very ordinary face, and she had lost a lot of weight, but he could still recognize her.

"Xiao Qiu..." Sister Li looked at Lu Yuanqiu in surprise, the broom in her hand falling to the side.

Lu Tian looked around at the two of them, a little confused about the situation, but if this woman tried to run away, he would definitely stop her.

Sister Li didn't run away; she just stayed where she was.

Lu Yuanqiu, panting heavily, pointed in a direction behind him, the direction of Bai Qingxia, and also the direction of the mountain village.

“Sister Li, I don’t care what you’ve done. When you encounter difficulties, we’ll face them together. Just don’t hide from us, otherwise nothing will be easy to solve… Bai Qingxia is here too. She’s watching you from afar. She misses you a lot. We’ve been looking for you for three days.”

Lu Tian, ​​panting heavily, looked at his son with confusion, and at the same time looked at the woman with confusion. He vaguely remembered seeing this woman at the hospital.

Suddenly, Lu Tian noticed that the woman wearing a baseball cap was crying. She was standing in the middle of the store, covering her mouth and hunching over as she cried.
