Today’s two chapters are a bit difficult to write, so the update time will be a little slower.

—————————————————————————

Li Zhuo arrived at the underground garage of the office building, got in his car and set off, first going around Dongdu Apartment.

This is also a relatively prosperous place. Li Zhuo was so dazzled by the Sichuan-bound vehicles and the bustling crowd that he didn't even notice He Xiaobai's figure.

This won't work, you can't cast the net aimlessly.

Li Zhuo drove straight to "Half a Love Letter", entered the store and asked the front desk.

A younger girl at the front desk explained that Sister Xiaobai had not come to work a few days ago, and she did not come today either.

Li Zhuo briefly explained the situation to the little girl.

The little girl was a little panicked when she saw this, and hurriedly called her colleague named Jingjing who lived with her before.

The news that came was disappointing, He Xiaobai did not go there.

Li Zhuo asked the front desk to ask her colleagues where He Xiaobai might go when he was in a bad mood.

My colleagues over there couldn’t tell clearly, and I didn’t know where she would go.

The little girl called and asked several colleagues who were close to He Xiaobai, but they all said they had not seen her.

Li Zhuo was confused. What if He Xiaobai was just walking aimlessly on the street, or looking for a park or other place to stop while walking?

But waiting here is not his style.

After Li Zhuo came out of the store, he made guesses while driving.

Xiaobai doesn't have a car, nor does she have a mobile phone with her. Nowadays, no one carries cash with them. Without a mobile phone, it's impossible for her to make normal purchases. It's unlikely that she will leave by transportation.

In other words, she is more likely to be near Dongdu Apartment.

Li Zhuo drove back again, rolled down the window and walked around the streets around her, and got out of the car from time to time to ask the staff in the shops on the street.

But without exception, no one can provide any clues.

After dark, I still have no clue.

Should I call the police?

Li Zhuo parked the car on the side of the road, held her forehead, and thought carefully about where she might go.

This girl lives a simple life. In addition to working, she just goes home to rest. She is not the kind of person who likes to play around. Moreover, she is suddenly emotionally stimulated, and it is unlikely that she has a plan in advance, so where else can she go?
p>

Yes, where else can we go?

Will you go to find him?

Li Zhuo lowered his head and recalled his interactions with He Xiaobai. He could tell that she liked him, but she was a little cautious and didn't know how to express it.

Maybe she was afraid of being rejected, or maybe she felt that she was not good enough for him and had low self-esteem, so she never took the initiative to ask him out.

But when the two get along, she takes good care of Li Zhuo's emotions——

When seeing Li Zhuo off, she would watch him at the door until he was no longer visible;

When she drinks too much, she goes to find honey water or fruit to sober up; when she has a headache, she gives him a massage; when she can’t sleep well while watching a movie, she leans her shoulder on him...

Even when he took advantage of her and said that her feet looked good in stockings, she just shyly hid her feet. Later, when she leaned in her arms, she could feel her heart beating a lot faster...
p>

It’s all about daily interactions, nothing earth-shattering, nothing like an oath of eternal love, it’s plain, but very warm.

This girl is actually the kind of woman who is suitable for life. She is not romantic or pretentious. She is self-motivated and obviously worries more. When she is with someone, she is definitely the one who pays more.

To put it bluntly, any man who is with her will be happy.

There is a kind of woman in the world who can reap happiness no matter who she marries, as long as that person is not someone who doesn’t know how to cherish her at all.

Although they didn't get along for long, Li Zhuo could clearly see her personality traits after a little reflection.

It's not that Li Zhuo is so powerful, but that this girl has a relatively simple life and a pure personality, and you can see through it with just a little contact.

She was even forced to run away from home by her parents, and she had nowhere to go.

Li Zhuo also felt sorry for her.

After confirming, Li Zhuo stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Sunshine Coast.

After arriving, Li Zhuo got out of the car and walked around, asked the guard, but did not find He Xiaobai.

Stupid, Li Zhuo patted his head.

He had only moved here for two or three days, and he didn't publicize it in a big way. He just sent He Xiaobai a video of the riverside scenery seen from the balcony. She might have thought it was taken by Li Zhuo when he was out playing.

So Li Zhuo hurriedly got in the car and drove to Datang New Village, where he had lived before.

If you still can't meet her, then you have to go to that movie theater again.

Li Zhuo rushed to Datang New Village in a hurry, got out of the car and entered the community.

With sharp eyes, Li Zhuo saw at a glance a figure in white clothes squatting under a tree on the sidewalk on one side of the main road.

The lights in the community were dim, and Li Zhuo couldn't see clearly. He only vaguely thought it was a woman.

Li Zhuo tentatively took a few steps forward, raised his voice and asked:

"Are you Xiaobai? I'm Li Zhuo."

The white figure slowly stood up and it looked like she was tall.

Li Zhuo took a few steps forward.

The two looked at each other, and Li Zhuo saw that He Xiaobai's face was full of tears, and tears fell from her face like beads.

At this moment, she cried like a trembling and helpless sapling in the wind and rain.

She wanted to suppress her grief and try to put on a smile, but her tears rolled down uncontrollably.

She said in a hoarse voice:

"Brother Zhuo, I want to sell myself to you, is that okay?"

Li Zhuo was surprised by her words, but he didn't dare to irritate her at this time, so he could only say:

"Everything is easy to discuss. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Let's sit down first and talk slowly."

Li Zhuo went over and grabbed her hand, held it tightly, and pulled her toward the community.

He Xiaobai let him hold his hand and followed him obediently.

Li Zhuo found a bench beside the path and pulled her to sit down.

"Don't be sad. Difficulties are only temporary and will be over once you solve them. Believe me, your future life will be better than anyone else's!" Li Zhuoxian spoke to comfort him.

He Xiaobai lowered his head and said "Yes".

When she lowered her head, her long hair fell down, covering her face, and Li Zhuo could only see tears dripping down her pants.

Li Zhuo felt distressed when he saw it, and after a few seconds of silence he said:

"I was sleepy while watching a movie. You lent me your shoulders. Now that you are in trouble, I will lend you my shoulders too. If you want to cry, just have a good cry."

He Xiaobai expressed kindness again, and this time she slowly leaned over, leaned on Li Zhuo's shoulder and cried hard.

Alas, pitiful, Li Zhuo also felt panic in his heart.

After she finished crying and her mood stabilized a little, Li Zhuocai asked carefully:

"...Can you tell me what's going on?"

He Xiaobai is in a very bad state, and his words are a bit gibberish, but the incident he mentioned is a common phenomenon in China.

That is, parents "sell" their daughters with high betrothal gifts.

"...My hometown is in the countryside of a central province. It is very poor there. My parents are both honest people. Just like everyone else in my hometown, they make a living by farming at home. In their spare time, my dad goes to the county to do odd jobs.

I carried bags, worked as a laborer at the construction site, and worked as a temporary worker in the ceramic tile factory. In short, I worked hard to earn money to support the three of us."

"I have two younger brothers. My father often goes out to work, and my mother takes on some agricultural and sideline product processing work when she has time. The work is tiring and the money is small, but fortunately, I can do it at home. I have followed me since I was a child.

Mom does this work together, and I cook when my brothers are hungry..."

Li Zhuo lowered his head to look at her hands. No wonder she felt that her hands were a little thin and hard before. This was probably the reason.

"...I have been a 'sensible' child in the eyes of my neighbors since I was a child, and my parents often praised me in this way. I don't feel tired when I work for the family and take care of my younger brother, and I never feel that the amount I pay is unbalanced, because my parents

It’s still a lot of sacrifice.”

"...But at that time, I occasionally thought, am I willing to work hard all my life like my parents, facing the earth with my back to the sky, struggling day by day, just to make a better life for my children in the end?"

"When I am thinking wildly, I will imagine a gloomy future scene of my own——

...When I got older, maybe seventeen or eighteen, I hurriedly found a man to marry in the countryside, and had three or four children in a row. The man went out to work as a coolie to support the family, and I carried the children on my back and climbed the mountains to serve the mountains. When I was tired of waiting,

When I was young, I would sit on the rocks and look into the distance, imagining the daunting but prosperous life in big cities, and even the more distant overseas life."

"I am not afraid of hardship, nor am I afraid of shouldering the burden of life, but this gloomy scene is like a rope that tightly strangles my neck. It seems to wipe out all the colors in my life."
p>

"...I'm really afraid that the little fantasy, color, and dream that belongs to me will be ruthlessly swallowed up..."

"Brother Zhuo, have you watched "Mountains and Seas"? The acting is really good. The water splash in it is so pitiful. When she is the most helpless and powerless, it is actually her little humble hope for the future that is being strangled.

When it is destroyed..."

"Brother Zhuo, do you know?" Xiaobai started to cry again, "My life is... given by my parents. I am willing to sacrifice everything for them who have suffered all my life, except for my little bit of color.

hope."
