I'm in love

Fan Shengmei anxiously shuttled back and forth between the various exit passages in the station looking for something, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She looked around anxiously and kept dialing the phone in her hand, but no one answered.

Just when she was almost in despair, her cell phone suddenly rang. When she saw the three words "Wang Baichuan" displayed on the screen, Fan Shengmei's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and she hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Why did you hang up on me! Why did you hang up on me?" Before the other party could speak, Fan Shengmei shouted in a crying voice.

Wang Baichuan on the other end of the phone was obviously startled, and quickly explained: "Xiaomei, don't worry, calm down first. I was just talking to your brother's neighbor, so it's really not convenient to answer your call."

After hearing Wang Baichuan's voice, Fan Shengmei's emotions stabilized a little, but she still couldn't help sobbing: "Where... where are you now? I can't find you..."

Fan Shengmei said anxiously: "My brother told me that my parents came to Shanghai, and I looked for them everywhere anxiously, but I couldn't find them."

Her voice was full of worry and helplessness, and she continued, "My brother's phone is turned off, and I can't get through to my sister-in-law. My parents don't have a penny on them, and they don't even have a cell phone. What should I do?" Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Do you think they will freeze to death outside?" Fan Shengmei's voice was trembling and she was crying.

Wang Baichuan quickly comforted her: "Xiaomei, don't panic, calm down and listen to me. I just went to your parents' house and found that the lights were still on."

When Fan Shengmei heard this, she immediately perked up and asked hurriedly, "The lights are on? So they didn't go out. Please help me check if they are home!"

She held Wang Baichuan's arm tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, her eyes full of anticipation.

Wang Baichuan said to the phone anxiously, "Xiaomei, don't worry! I'll turn around and go back to check the situation." While comforting the other party, he quickly turned the steering wheel and prepared to turn back.

Then, Wang Baichuan told Xiaomei in detail about the latest developments in her brother's case: "As for your brother's case, after asking around yesterday, I finally found out. Yesterday afternoon, the man who was beaten actually ran directly from the hospital to your brother's home."

Wang Baichuan took a deep breath and continued, "He proposed two solutions to your brother. One was that your brother had to kneel down in front of everyone and admit his mistake, and compensate for various expenses, such as medical expenses, loss of work time, and mental damages, totaling 10 yuan; the second was that if he was unwilling to do so, the person who was beaten would have to pay out of his own pocket to buy a piece of flesh from your brother. But the problem is that this matter was never settled in the end. What's even more strange is that your brother and sister-in-law both ran away this afternoon!" At this point, Wang Baichuan was also full of doubts and worries.

Wang Baichuan said in surprise: "I heard that they put sleeping pills in their food, and when they woke up they smashed your brother's house to pieces!" He frowned, as if he found this unbelievable.

Then, Wang Baichuan analyzed thoughtfully: "If that's the case, it's possible that your parents went to Shanghai to join you first. After all, they may think it's safer for you there."

Fan Shengmei cursed angrily: "He is capable of doing this. He is a complete idiot!" Her tone was full of helplessness and anger.

Wang Baichuan comforted her and said, "Your brother is really a troublemaker. I'm almost at your house. Are you alone at the train station now? Do you want me to pick you up?"

Fan Shengmei replied, "Don't worry, my friends will be here soon. They are on their way." Her voice revealed a hint of anticipation and peace of mind.

Wang Baichuan told her: "Okay, I'll get there as soon as possible. I've seen the lights in our house are still on, I'll go upstairs to check out the situation, don't worry." After that, he hung up the phone and hurried upstairs.

No matter how hard Wang Baichuan knocked on Fan Shengmei's door, he got no response... He stood at the door anxiously, his heart full of worry and confusion.

"Xiaomei, no one responded at home, but the lights are on. Maybe this is a signal they deliberately left to let others know they are at home." Wang Baichuan said with a frown.

Fan Shengmei nodded helplessly, showing her understanding. She looked at Wang Baichuan gratefully and said, "I understand. Thank you, Baichuan. In fact, you have helped me a lot."

Wang Baichuan felt very upset. He wanted to do his best to help Fan Shengmei solve the problem, but now he was powerless. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of calling Andy for help. After all, Andy was smart and capable, and might be able to provide some advice or help.

However, when he dialed Andy's number, he only heard the system prompt tone: "Hello! The number you dialed is busy..." Wang Baichuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

At this time, Andy was chatting happily with Wei Wei and didn't notice the call from Wang Baichuan at all. It was not until she finished her pleasant conversation with Wei Wei that she found the missed call and saw the message from Wang Baichuan.

After Andy hung up the phone, Wei Wei asked curiously, "Who called?" Andy replied, "It was Wang Baichuan. I have already done what he asked me to do. I think since it's all over, there's no need to dwell on it, and I don't want to know too much."

Andy continued, "Besides, as you said, there needs to be certain boundaries between friends. Regarding this matter, I will neither ask for a progress report nor expect the other party to thank me. Especially in this case, we should maintain an appropriate distance."

At the same time, because Andy didn't answer the phone, Wang Baichuan had no choice but to dial Qu Xiaoxiao's number. Qu Xiaoxiao's crisp voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

Wang Baichuan: "Hello, Miss Qu! I am Wang Baichuan, Fan Shengmei's high school classmate. We met before at the villa."

Qu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said in a long tone: "Oh~you are the one..." She deliberately did not finish her words, wanting to see the other party's reaction.

Wang Baichuan nodded and responded quickly, "Yes, yes, it's me! I'm so sorry to bother you so late. It's because I'm on the 2202nd floor now, and I don't know anyone else here except you and Fan Shengmei's phone number. So could you please help call Xiaoguan or Xiaoqiu from ? Thank you very much!" He looked at Qu Xiaoxiao sincerely, hoping to get her help.
