Chapter 51: The Reappearance of the Retrospective Pearl
After explaining Sister Ping's affairs to An Yuchun one by one, Xiao Qingze organized the information in his hands and thought to himself: I must find time to treat her to a meal. This gang has been so busy.
It was a rare occasion that he got off work early today, so Xiao Qingze called Zhang Jiaqi and asked her out.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so just choose here. I heard that students nearby like to eat here." Xiao Qingze said to Zhang Hui.
This is a snack street near the university. Since it is a student holiday, there are not many people here.
Zhang Hui looked up at the sign on the door and saw an old man with a white beard smiling at her.
She had never been here before, so she decided to try some food. She ordered some hamburgers, fried chicken, French fries, and Xiao Qingze also ordered two cups of Coke.
The two chatted casually while waiting for the food to arrive.
They didn't have to wait long, and soon the ordered food was brought to the table by the waiter.
Huh? As the door opened, Zhang Hui suddenly felt a throb on her wrist. This familiar feeling startled her.
After ten years, the Retrospective Pearl appeared again! She looked towards the door calmly.
A young boy wearing the same pattern as the shop sign walked in carrying a rectangular box.
Xiao Qingze noticed her change, followed her gaze, and felt sour in his heart.
That guy looks just so-so, except that his skin is a little whiter and he’s a little younger. What’s so good about him?
As the young boy got closer, the retrospective beads on his wrist beat more and more violently.
Zhang Hui was very sure that this person must have the tracing bead on him, but he didn't know how to get it back.
After a while, the boy took the meal, put it in the box and left.
Before he could think about it, Zhang Hui stepped forward to stop him. The young boy looked at her in surprise: "What do you want?"
At this time, Zhang Hui's attention was completely on a bead exposed on his neck.
It was an inconspicuous gray bead, but its owner cherished it and wove it into an intricate and exquisite net with a red rope, which was then hung around his neck.
Xiao Qingze was also puzzled. He walked over and watched Zhang Hui's every move.
"Can I take a look at the bead on your neck?" Zhang Hui asked.
In fact, even without looking, Zhang Hui knew that this was one of the nine beads she was looking for.
Only she could see the white mist covering the wooden bead, not to mention the three beads on her wrist that were so excited that they could have jumped up if they had legs.
Hearing this, the young boy touched the beads on his neck, a trace of cherishment and pain flashed in his eyes, and he flatly rejected Zhang Hui's request.
Zhang Hui didn't expect him to refuse so straightforwardly, not even letting her see it, and immediately asked: "Can I buy it with money?"
The boy seemed a little angry: "No! This is a gift from my sister! Sorry, please move aside, I have to go deliver the food."
Zhang Hui didn't want to give up, but now he seemed to be in a deadlock. There was nothing he could do for the moment. He could only give way and watch the boy open the door and leave.
Xiao Qingze didn't understand what was so good about the bead. He had never seen Zhang Hui like any jewelry.
No! He seemed to have seen beads like this before, ten years ago.
That's right, if his memory was correct, Zhang Hui had bought such a bracelet ten years ago, and the beads on it were also gray and inconspicuous.
Is this a coincidence? This is definitely not a coincidence! There must be some secret hidden here that he doesn't know, but he doesn't want to force Zhang Hui.
Pretending to be ignorant, he sat back in his seat and said to Zhang Hui, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Zhang Hui felt a little disappointed and lost the mood to eat. Seeing her like this, Xiao Qingze gave her an idea: "We can go to the front desk to ask."
Zhang Hui then calmed down and tried hard to eat.
The clerk at the front desk looked understanding when he heard them asking about the young boy.
"You mean the bead on his neck? You definitely can't buy it. He won't sell it to you no matter how much money you offer." The waitress smiled gossipingly.
"Why?" Zhang Hui was puzzled. Is there anyone who doesn't even want money? This bead is just an ordinary wooden bead in his hand. What's the point of keeping it?
The waitress smiled but said nothing. Xiao Qingze picked up the menu familiarly and ordered a few more hamburgers and fried chicken.
She then smiled and said, "I'm the only one in this store who knows that the beads were a birthday gift from his sister to him."
"Five years ago, on his birthday, his sister gave him a gift and then suddenly disappeared. She has been like a nobody since then.
How could you think that he would give you the last thing related to his sister just for money?"
So that's how it is, Zhang Hui thought thoughtfully. This means things have taken a turn for the better. Finding people is what she is best at.
After 8pm, the restaurant finally became quiet. Anjie, the young boy, sat in a corner with his eyes closed.
Zhang Hui approached him. An Jie opened his eyes and found that it was the same girl again. He couldn't help but frowned: "Please go back. There is no way I can sell this bead."
"I will help you find your sister, how about you give me the beads?" Zhang Hui negotiated the terms with him directly.
Anjie took a look at her. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin and rosy complexion. She looked like a good girl.
He sneered. Help him find his sister? How? Did she think their family hadn't looked for her before?
To this day he dares not think back to what happened back then; it's like a nightmare.
Because it was his birthday, his parents took him and his sister to an amusement park to celebrate. But in the blink of an eye, his sister was lost.
His parents and he searched the entire amusement park like crazy, but his sister disappeared without a trace. They even called the police, but it was of no use.
My parents blamed themselves for this, and they quarreled all day long. Their feelings became increasingly distant, and finally they divorced.
When they asked him who he wanted to celebrate his birthday with, he refused. He felt that if he didn't celebrate his birthday, his sister wouldn't be lost.
From then on he lived with his grandparents, and after they passed away, he worked odd jobs everywhere to save money and continue looking for his sister.
Noticing that his eyes were filled with the words "disbelief", Zhang Hui pointed at Xiao Qingze and said, "If you don't believe me, ask him."
Xiao Qingze silently took out his ID and acted as a tool.
Anjie still remained skeptical. So what if he was a policeman? Didn’t he still fail to find his sister back then?
Zhang Hui asked seriously, "Do you want to find your sister?"
"Of course I did!" Angel said without hesitation.
"Then why are you still hesitating? Even if I really don't find your sister, what will you lose? What if I really do find your sister?"
Yes, what if? Seeing the girl's serious look, it didn't seem like she was joking with him, and Anjie fell into deep thought.
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhang Hui waited patiently for him to make a choice.
