    Xie Jin vaguely remembered that he had not met such an active girl for at least a few years. He was taken aback by the rushing enthusiasm, and his eyes under the glasses almost wanted to avoid at the same time.

    "Don't be shy, I really like you a little bit." Lin Ranran spotted his hand, which had nowhere to rest, and held it tightly, "Can I get to know you?"

    Xie Jin's expression became stiff, he wanted to withdraw his hand calmly, but Lin Ranran used all his strength, he couldn't make an indecent move of shaking his hand in front of a girl.

    Seeing that Xie Jin was silent, Lin Ranran asked again: "How old are you this year? Are you traveling alone?"

    Xie Jin's hand was shaken by her, and seeing that it was about to touch the softness of his chest, Xie Jin suddenly broke free from Lin Ranran, his face was a little pale, and the tiny beads of sweat from just now were faintly visible on his forehead.

    "Sorry, I was rude." He apologized to Lin Ranran, and at the same time hid his hands behind the backpack, for fear that this cheerful girl would make another sudden attack.

    Lin Ranran was not angry, her eyes were as lively as a stream flowing among the stones in the mountains, she waved her hand and smiled and said, "It's okay, you answered my question, I don't know what your name is yet."

    The name that subconsciously wanted to blurt out from his mouth will stop in Xie Jin's thinking for a ten-millionth of a second.

    Thinking of his current unfavorable situation, he would probably only do harm if he casually exchanged names with strange girls.

    What if the other party is not just a girl? All his whereabouts will be exposed to the eyes of those people hiding in the dark.

    "...My name is Ji Jin, but I'm not traveling to relax, but to do business." After his brain froze for a moment, Xie Jin combined Ji Duan's surname and his own name into a pseudonym. Let the other party see what clues.

    But obviously the girl didn't care about the name, what she cared about was always Xie Jin himself.

    Lin Ranran was only in his early twenties by visual estimation, and seemed to be younger than Ji Duan. Xie Jin couldn't handle it, so he could only let this girl who seemed to be a different person chatter in his ear.

    "Your face would be perfect if it were fatter. With such thin cheeks, people who don't know will think that you can't usually eat enough."

    In fact, did not eat enough, but it was a few months ago.

    Xie Jin smiled faintly. He didn't tell Lin Ranran, and it was impossible to tell her what kind of ghost he looked like when he didn't meet those two a few months ago.

    "You have a really good temper. Unlike my brother, who pulls away 250,000 to 80,000 yuan all day long. In the end, he is not treated by the elders in the family, and he got himself into trouble, and I have to chase him for him." Wipe your ass."

    Lin Ranran pouted, she seemed to be complaining, but she couldn't hear any angry tone, grabbed the milk tea on the small table and took a sip, then she asked Xie Jin, "Where are you going to do business? If fate is on the way, I can still give you a ride."

    "I'm going to Celebration State." Xie Jin replied almost at the same time, he just caught a glimpse of Lin Ranran's ticket on the small table, and he knew that this girl was not in the same place as his destination.

    Sure enough, Lin Ranran's expression was no longer as lively as before, and she sighed softly: "It seems that fate may not be so accurate, but I will go to Gongchuan, and I will get off at the next stop after you, and I can transfer to the high-speed rail with you .”

    Xie Jin smiled politely. He was not used to communicating with girls who were obviously interested in him, so he simply kept asking and answering with Lin Ranran to a certain extent.

    Fortunately, don't know if it has something to do with his change of clothes. Since he got out of the toilet, the two people he saw just now have never appeared again.

    After waiting for the high-speed train to Celebration State, no other suspicious persons appeared. Xie Jin lowered the brim of his hat and listened to Lin Ranran chatting about his daily life beside him.

    Perhaps in the eyes of others, the two of them are like a couple in love, but Xie Jin has always kept a friendly distance from Lin Ranran, so it just looks like them, and if you look carefully, you will find the alienation he deliberately created.

    "You're going to get out of the car in less than half an hour." Lin Ranran fiddled with her long hair, her eyes under the rimless glasses showed reluctance, "I said it to myself, you really Don't you feel that way about me?"

    When Xie Jin heard what she said, the smile that had been on the corner of his mouth stiffened unnaturally. What should come will come eventually. Although he didn't know what this little girl liked about him, if he didn't explain clearly before parting, it would be not good.

    "I'm sorry." The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and his face became serious. "People in this society are sinister, and sometimes things like feelings are easy to be impulsive."

    Xie Jin knew very well that he was not qualified to tell Lin Ranran the truth from any angle, so he could only smile again, trying not to look like he was preaching.

    "Especially for a man my age, it's hard to tell if there is malicious intent to approach some young girls. You are a very good girl. I hope you don't get scammed."

    Hearing these words, Lin Ranran was stunned for a while, she opened her mouth slightly, stared at Xie Jin with those shiny black eyes for a long time, and then asked: "This is me, have I been issued a police card?"

    She helped the rimless frame that had slipped down the bridge of her nose, trying to grab Xie Jin's hand again, but was dodged.

    "I don't think age is a problem, and after all this communication, I'm sure you're not a bad person." The girl pursed her lips, as if a little discouraged, "You really don't like me?"

    Xie Jin didn't answer directly, he shook his head slightly, and apologized to her again: "I'm sorry, but actually... I have a sweetheart."

    "What, then why didn't she come with you?" Lin Ranran retreated back, staring at the changes in Xie Jin's face, and then showed a meaningful expression.

    "Something happened, and it was a little inconvenient for him to move."

    Xie Jin didn't want to say too much about Ji Duan to an uninformed outsider. He was so focused on finding excuses to skip the topic, but he didn't notice that Lin Ranran didn't seem to have any emotions other than curiosity because of this matter.

    Afterwards, Lin Ranran didn't bother him any more, but returned to the original state, holding the book and reading quietly.

    The speed of the high-speed rail is much faster than that of the green-skinned train. Before arriving at the Celebration State station, Xie Jin slowly moved to the door with his simple luggage along with the flow of people.

    When the door opened and he was about to get out of the car, Xie Jin looked inside the car, and he found that Lin Ranran also raised his head from the book, and was meeting his eyes.

    "What are you doing, you don't go down even though the door is open?" A urging came from behind, Xie Jin felt a push from someone behind him, and he fell straight to the platform with his person and bag.

    At the moment before being pulled out of the carriage, he vaguely saw Lin Ranran's lips moving, as if he was saying something.

    "We'll meet again."

    Barely stabilizing her figure and not falling down in front of everyone's eyes, Xie Jin habitually showed an apologetic smile to the passengers behind the blocked exit, but what she got was a low scolding and Byakugan, who was about to turn to the sky.

    Xie Jin lowered his eyebrows and put his backpack on his shoulders. At this time, the high-speed train was also started. He watched Lin Ranran who was sitting by the window leave with the acceleration of the car, and suddenly felt something strange.

    Without time to allow him to think about it here, Xie Jin quickly shook his head to keep himself rational. The most important thing right now is to go to the abandoned paradise, find Ji Duan's lost soul, and then hurry back.

    He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already noon. If he went there during this time when the yang energy was strong, he probably wouldn't see any ghosts.

    Although he didn't want to admit it, Xie Jin had already accepted the fact in his heart that he had to sneak in there after nightfall.

    The first time he went to the Celebration State abandoned park, he was lucky to avoid the security guards there, but after this time passed, he was afraid that he didn't come to the door and let others catch him.

    With the flow of people walking towards the exit, Xie Jin set off in a hurry this time, until he walked out of the train station and realized that this place and the airport are in two directions.

    Although the Celebration State West Station is on the outskirts of the city, it is different from the airport. One is in the east of the city and the other is in the west. That is to say, if Xie Jin wants to go to the abandoned paradise, he has to cross more than half of the Celebration State city.

    I miscalculated. was dizzy on the train and only remembered to book a ticket. There was no suitable flight, so booked the train. didn’t expect the distance to be so far away.

    Xie Jinchu was under the scorching sun. He compared the bus route map outside the train station one by one, and asked several passers-by. After confirming the route, he got on the express bus to the east of the city.

    There are unfamiliar but familiar scenery along the way, and sleepiness also rushes to the brain with the vague conversations and appropriate bumps in the bus.

    But Xie Jin didn't sleep, even though his eyelids seemed to be heavy with lead.

    Covering the backpack in front of his chest, he sat near the back door. This is the best escape route in the event of an accident. Xie Jin didn't dare to be careless. He wasn't sure if the people who hurt Ji Duan would wait in Celebration State. Ambush yourself.

    On the one hand, in order to refresh himself, and at the same time to relieve the obvious tension on his face, Xie Jin took out a pair of dirty and old built-in earphones from the side pocket of his backpack.

    He tried to align it with the headphone jack and insert it. Fortunately, this pair of headphones can be adapted to the new mobile phone that Ji Duan bought for him. Xie Jin rubbed the edge of the mobile phone with his fingertips, secretly thinking.

    When we return to Badong Village, we must apologize to Ji Duan. We shouldn't have misunderstood him for stealing Wen Liang's money.

    Xie Jin only wore one earphone, so that he could keep an eye on his surroundings while listening to music, in case any suspicious persons would sneak up on him.

    But it turns out that all his worries are superfluous. There are not many people on the express bus. Celebration State is only a small third-tier city, and there is rarely a strong tourism industry like Tian He in the summer.

    Including the whole car and the driver, there were no more than eight people including Xie Jin, but even so Xie Jin didn't dare to sleep.

    From the west of the city to the east of the city, the bus took nearly three and a half hours. After entering the east of the city, Xie Jin obviously felt that the surrounding scenery became familiar.

    He got off at the station not far from Impression Hotel, and walked forward for nearly a kilometer, and the old dilapidated hotel suddenly appeared there.

    That was the place where met Ji Duan for the first time. Xie Jin felt a little emotional. He tightened the shoulder straps of his backpack, took a deep breath, and walked into the hotel.

    Just entering the hotel was a small hall, Xie Jin saw the boss lying on a rocking chair under an electric fan to enjoy the cool.

    Maybe he didn't expect that someone would patronize his dismal voice, the boss scratched his stomach, and reluctantly raised his head from the rocking chair.

    "Staying in a hotel or... Huh?" When he saw Xie Jin's face, his eyes, which he didn't even want to open, suddenly widened.

    The boss sat up from the rocking chair, pointed at Xie Jin's face, and wondered for a long time: "Did I meet you somewhere?"

    Uncle Xie's personal copy is loaded, I wish you a smooth customs clearance!
