Chapter 4: My Farewell Song 3
Qing Nuan, carrying her little bear backpack, struggled to make her way through the crowd. The flow of people at the train station could almost be described as "shoulder to shoulder". Coupled with the scorching sun in May, Qing Nuan couldn't help but feel the heat coming on and was sweating profusely.
At this moment, Qing Nuan suddenly felt someone pushing her hard from behind.
Qing Nuan staggered a few steps subconsciously, but ultimately lost her balance and fell to the ground, with her bag rolling a long way away.
Her knee was bruised and bleeding. Qing Nuan sat on the ground to blow on the blood and wanted to go forward to pick up the bag.
At this time, a man in his early twenties came over, helped her pick up the bag, put it in her arms, and smiled.
Qing Nuan took the bag and wanted to thank him, but it was too late. The man had already left and disappeared in the crowd at the train station.
Qing Nuan endured the pain in her knees, picked up her bag, and just after taking two steps, an aunt passing by reminded her and said, "Child, your bag is broken, take a look!"
Qing Nuan's heart skipped a beat and she quickly lowered her head to look. It didn't matter what she saw, Qing Nuan was almost crying with anger.
There was a cut on the bottom of the bag by a knife, and half of the clothes stuffed in the bag were exposed.
Qing Nuan quickly opened the bag and checked the items: all the clothes were there, only her wallet and cell phone were missing.
Stolen? Cheated? Who stole it?
These are the questions on Qing Nuan’s mind.
That’s right! It was the person who pushed her from behind and made her fall to the ground, and the person who pretended to be kind enough to pick up her bag but ran away without saying a word to her.
They must have taken it!
The wallet contained all her money and her ID card. The 800-plus yuan was what she had saved for half a year. Losing her ID card was even more troublesome, as she would not be able to enter the station to go through security check for a while.
Failure to pass security check means she can’t go to City A and find Cheng Ge.
Qing Nuan was so anxious that she started to cry. She held her bag, at a loss, and cried almost in despair.
Just when she was crying with a feeling of grievance, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Qing Nuan was now tense all over, and when she felt someone pulling her, she subconsciously shook it off.
"It's me!" A familiar voice sounded beside her, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Qing Nuan turned her head and stared at the person in front of her with tearful eyes, almost stunned: "Song Yang? Why are you here?"
Song Yang, who was always uninhibited and frank, actually had a suspicious blush on his face: "I... I'm fine, it's a holiday, I just happened to pass by..."
"Happened to pass by...pass by the train station?" Qing Nuan was still in shock and hadn't come to her senses.
Song Yang didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore. He just frowned, looked at the tear marks on her face, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Qing Nuan did not hide her grievance and anger, and held up her broken bag in front of Song Yang: "My wallet and cell phone are gone, I can't get on the train, and I don't even have money for food."
When Song Yang heard this, he immediately got angry: "Do you know who did it?"
"I can almost recognize him." Qing Nuan thought for a while, "He's wearing a denim short-sleeved shirt and jeans, probably in his twenties, a man. He went over there, and it's only been five minutes." Qing Nuan pointed to the south.
Song Yang made a prompt decision: "Wait, I'll go take a look!"
Qing Nuan said, "I'll go with you. I can recognize him!"
Song Yang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, you point it out later and I'll be responsible for getting it back!"
With this plan in mind, Song Yang and Qing Nuan went to chase the thief together.
Qing Nuan didn't care about her bruised knee at all, she only wanted to get her wallet back, and she ran after Song Yang. Actually, she didn't have much hope of getting her lost property back, but she didn't expect that after searching for more than ten minutes, she actually saw the bag thief at the entrance of KFC near the station.
When Qing Nuan saw the bag thief, he was counting money in front of the KFC entrance, and in his hand was Qing Nuan's pink wallet.
After Qing Nuan carefully identified it, Song Yang found the right moment, ran to the thief, snatched the wallet and mobile phone from the thief in one go, and threw them in Qing Nuan's direction very neatly.
Song Yang shouted, "Qing Nuan, go pick it up!"
Qing Nuan didn't hold back. Seeing the wallet being thrown out of Song Yang's hand, she ran forward, hugged the wallet in her arms, and then looked at her phone...
When his cell phone was in the thief's hands, it was intact. But when Song Yang threw it in a hurry, it broke instead.
"Song Yang, why did you throw away my cell phone too? It's broken!" Qing Nuan shouted.
While Song Yang was fending off the bag thief, he responded, "It was a moment of urgency!"
Qing Nuan didn't care about her phone anymore and shouted to Song Yang, "Song Yang, it's done, let's go!"
Song Yang also wanted to retreat quickly, but many of the thieves now have accomplices, so he couldn't care less and just wanted to get Qing Nuan's things back.
But the bag thief stopped doing it.
The bag thief blew a whistle, and in an instant, four or five people came over from all directions. They were all young men who looked to be in their twenties. They should be accomplices.
Song Yang yelled at Qing Nuan, "Run!"
Qing Nuan also realized the danger and immediately ran forward with Song Yang.
The sun was very strong at noon and there was a lot of traffic on the road.
Two high school students were running in front, and a group of thugs were chasing them from behind.
In a panic, they were chasing each other. In the chaos, Song Yang took Qing Nuan's hand and led her in front of her and protected her from behind as a protector... This exciting scene that only happens in movies actually happened.
In the end, Song Yang dragged Qing Nuan and was chased by those people for more than ten streets.
At the end of the alley, Qing Nuan watched Song Yang being beaten by those people. They only stopped reluctantly when his face was bruised and bloody.
In the end, Qing Nuan still failed to catch the train to City A, so she still couldn't find Cheng Ge.
Not only that, Qingnuan's father couldn't find Qingnuan, so he called the school. After some investigation, he found out that Qingnuan went to the train station and even encountered a thief. As a result, Qingnuan was scolded when she returned home.
What Qing Nuan didn't know was that Song Yang, a young master who had always been spoiled by his family, returned home with a bruised face and nose, and was scolded by his parents and ordered by his father to write a letter of apology.
It was not until later that Qing Nuan learned from Xu Jiarong that Song Yang was not just someone who happened to pass by that day as he said.
He had always been worried about Qing Nuan. He knew that Qing Nuan had bought a train ticket and was worried about her taking the risk alone, so he followed Qing Nuan all the way like a timid flower-guarding messenger.
Qing Nuan felt complicated after learning the truth.
The previous confrontations between her and Song Yang were still vivid in her mind. She didn't understand why Song Yang suddenly changed his temper and started to care about her so much.
Or... does he actually have other thoughts?
Qing Nuan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
