Chapter 17 - ch 17

  The aunt will prepare dinner in advance before leaving. When Fu Yingcheng gets home, he and Ji Fanling can have dinner together. This is one of the few times they can see each other during the day.

  Dinner is a sumptuous meal of four dishes and one soup. Even the rice is stewed with fried potatoes, peas and ham. It is full of color, flavor and flavor.

  Ji Fanling washed her hands, sat down, and continued to eat without saying a word.

  The ladle was a bit big for her mouth. The girl stood on the edge of the bowl, like a hamster eating, and shoveled the rice into her mouth.

  Fu Yingcheng looked at her several times during the process, and finally put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's for lunch?"

  Ji Fanling's cheeks were bulging, and he struggled to swallow the rice in his mouth, and then said, "Stir-fried beef and shrimp with celery "

  Not delicious?"

  "   Not full

  ?"   "Why are you eating like an excavator every day?   " : "..."   You are the excavator, and your whole family is an excavator.   "I'm born to eat quickly."   Ji Fanling said with a dull expression, "Why, eating with me makes you stressed?" She picked up the bowl, "Then I'll go to the living room to eat."   "Just eat here." Fu Ying Cheng's eyes landed on her lips without leaving a trace, and he paused, "Eat slowly, are you afraid that I will snatch it from you?"   The rice had just been taken out of the rice cooker, but she didn't seem to feel it was hot.   The lips, which usually have no blood color, showed a rosy red color.   It was as if her breath was hot when she spoke.   "Afraid? Can you still beat me?"   Ji Fanling didn't realize it, sat down again, and reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll let you go."   Ji Fanling ate really fast, which made Fu Yingcheng, who was at normal speed, extraordinarily slow. , she sincerely gave him several mouthfuls, and still finished the meal when Fu Yingcheng had just eaten half of it.   Ji Fanling was playing with her phone while waiting for him.   Big data pushed her some news, including a traffic accident on Amber South Road that killed two people and injured one... Ji Fanling suddenly got excited and searched herself.   She actually found something.   "The female high school student mysteriously disappeared after a car accident, and she was not seen dead or dead for 30 days."   "The girl suddenly disappeared in 1996 after acting bravely, and the police searched for it for two months but failed."   "The 17-year-old girl disappeared mysteriously after a traffic accident, and the drunk driver said he knew nothing about it. "   ...   Judging from the number of news reports, her disappearance caused quite a stir in Beiwan City.   If you have been missing for two years due to an accident, you can be declared dead.   Ten years have passed, and although she is still alive, it is a pity that she has been "socially dead" for a long time.   Ji Fanling reads his own news with more interest than watching other people's news.   Except for her who was missing, the only people present at the time were the drunk driver and the seven-year-old little Xingxing. Both of their testimonies were not credible, and the surveillance on a rainy night was too vague.   Therefore, netizens have different opinions on the reason for her disappearance.   Ji Fanling looked at it and suddenly laughed out loud.   Fu Yingcheng raised his eyes and saw the girl's eyes curled up, and her tone was rare and gentle: "What's so funny?"   "I'm watching the news from that year."   Ji Fanling stretched out the phone in front of him, curling the tips of her thin white fingers. , clicked on the screen: "Some people speculate that I was not missing, but was caught by a passing truck and dragged to another place."   "There were many cars passing by, and they crushed me and broke me into pieces."   " It rained heavily that day, and these pieces were washed away..."   "In the sewer?" The man's voice was as cold as ice.   "Yes, how do you know?"   Ji Fanling put down her phone, raised her head and caught the man's gaze.   The small lamp hanging on the dining table cast soft light, but those dark eyes fell in the shadow of the broken hair.   The eyes staring at her were so dark that they were like a bottomless pool covered by a thin layer of ice.   No smile at all.   The air froze for a moment.   Ji Fanling blinked: "...Why don't you smile?"   The suppressed anger was subtly unable to break out, and the man's bulging Adam's apple moved slightly.   Only she could talk about her death in front of him with a playful smile.   "Sorry."   The girl thought she had disgusted him, so she shrank back and said slowly, "Sometimes I forget that not everyone is as courageous as me."   Fu Yingcheng was silent for a while, calming down his emotions. As if he didn't care, he said, "It's okay."   "Compared to the fabricated fake news..."   The man stared at her with an unclear meaning, "The excavator is more scary."   Ji Fanling: "..."   *   Maybe. Because of the news she read, Fu Yingcheng lost his appetite and took two hasty bites before getting up.   Ji Fanling followed him, took the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.   Fu Yingcheng bought her food, and she helped Fu Yingcheng wash the dishes, which was very reasonable.   But every time she washed the dishes, Fu Yingcheng would stay in the kitchen, washing the countertops, wiping the chopping boards, arranging the kitchen utensils, or giving her a glass of freshly squeezed juice to drink in the evening.   Although he said nothing and looked very busy, Ji Fanling had already seen through it - he was not really busy, he just wanted to take some time to stare at her.   Obviously.   Fu Yingcheng felt that she couldn't clean herself and wanted to supervise her.   Ji Fanling turned around and went to the restaurant to pick up the remaining dishes. To save trouble, she stacked them together and held them in her arms, thinking about soaking them in warm water before using dishwashing liquid.   As she walked into the kitchen and was thinking about something, she suddenly felt a gust of wind on the back of her neck and subconsciously bent down to hide.   As soon as she hid, the dishes she held fell apart.   When she came to her senses, she instinctively went to fish for it.   She couldn't catch the oily plate, it crackled and shattered all over the floor.   Ji Fanling was still about to reach out and pick it up, but a big hand came over and grabbed her wrist, almost lifting her up from the ground and forcefully carrying her to her side.
