Chapter 281 Life, Lonely as Snow [1]

The little girl raised her head again and looked at Zhang Wufeng with a dull gaze. She looked a little silly, as if she was confused and doubtful. She curled up into a ball and shook her head.

She continued to pull Erquan Yingyue slowly, and the inexplicable vicissitudes of life in her made people sigh.

"Aren't you asking for help? I really want to help you, why don't you want to? It's getting dark, and it will be very cold when it gets dark." Zhang Wufeng said with some surprise.

There were people passing by, but no one paid attention to this scene. Some who saw it would occasionally throw a coin or two to show sympathy, but most people walked away with disgust. In fact, because Zhang Wufeng was squatting here and talking to the little girl, many tourists even thought he was an accomplice.

"Are you asking for help? That was written by a kind-hearted older sister for Niu Niu. She was busy at this place, and she asked Niu Niu to stay here so that she could get more help. In fact, grandpa had already passed away, and Niu Niu already knew about it.

Grandpa is gone. No matter how much help Niu Niu asks for, it’s useless because Grandpa will never come back.

Big brother, I know you are kind-hearted like that big sister. But you should go. Niuniu is dirty and sick, and she won't live long.

Niu Niu just wanted to stay with Grandpa for a while longer, playing the songs that Grandpa liked. Niu Niu wanted to sleep, so she fell asleep and found Grandpa to let him listen to Niu Niu playing. Niu Niu will definitely play the songs that Grandpa liked very well.

What the little girl said in silence was indeed heartbreaking.

This little girl is no more than seven years old, but the maturity and understanding in her words are beyond imagination.

"Niuniu, is your name Niuniu? Your grandfather is gone, but you have to live on with strength. You don't want your grandfather to be without a home, right? Big brother will help you bury your grandfather, and then help you cure your illness, so that you can go to school happily, okay?" Zhang Wufeng said gently.

Nowadays, when he does things, he just wants to feel at ease in his heart, without so many worries.

"Big brother, can you let Niu Niu play a song before you talk about this? Niu Niu needs to think about it carefully." The little girl said expressionlessly. Although there was a lot of mud and dirt on her face, she had a unique maturity that other children could never imitate.

"Well, big brother is here to listen to you play the song." Zhang Wufeng looked at the little girl seriously and said.

The reason why he was so kind to this little girl, besides feeling that she was very familiar to him, was also because of the subconscious dream. When the little girl in the grassland was surrounded by black air, he was actually powerless and could not provide any help.

Although the two don't seem to have much in common, they do have some similarities in appearance.

"Thank you, big brother." The little girl nodded slightly, then lowered her head and looked at the old erhu in her hand. After a moment of silence, she turned her head and looked at her grandfather. Her thin arms gently and rhythmically played the very sad "Erquan Yingyue".

The north wind was blowing, and an inexplicable feeling rose in my heart. I felt a little touched and speechless, but I didn't know where this inexplicable sadness came from.

After the song "Erquan Yingyue" was played, the little girl's eyes were a little red and swollen. She lay on her grandfather's body and cried, her body twitching, with an inexplicable emotion that touched people.

The occasional tourists passing by, when they did not see the sign asking for help, instead took out five or ten yuan and silently put the money in the tattered plate.

After a short while, the plate was filled with small change.

"Niuniu, have you made up your mind?" Zhang Wufeng asked calmly.

"Well. Big brother, will you really do what you said?" The little girl nodded and asked calmly.

Her gaze had the power to test people's conscience, as if under such a gaze, people who felt guilty would not be able to face her eyes.

"Yes!" Zhang Wufeng said seriously.

He was very sure of this. He was a man who valued his promises. If he made a promise, he would either not make it or he would definitely do it without looking for any excuses or reasons.

"Well, big brother, then I have to wait here for big sister to come out and say goodbye to her before I leave." The little girl said seriously.

"What's your name, big sister? She must work here. I can just go find her." Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.

"My big sister's name is Xie Qianqian." The little girl said in a more intimate tone.

"Xie Qianqian? Well, wait for me here, I'll be right out."

Zhang Wufeng was slightly startled, and recalled a lovely female classmate in college. When he left school, he got drunk and slept with her for a night. But that time, he became Liu Xiahui... Thinking of this, Zhang Wufeng felt that it was unlikely. It was just a matter of having the same name. He couldn't help but smile and said, then turned around and stepped into the hotel.

Although his clothes were not expensive, he was wearing authentic Adidas sportswear and his pair of sneakers alone cost more than a thousand yuan, so he was not considered a poor man. Moreover, he had a unique temperament. As soon as he entered the hotel, the etiquette lady came to greet him.

"Welcome, sir. Do you want to stay in the hotel to enjoy the scenery, or just stay here?" the beautiful etiquette lady asked politely.

"Oh, hello, beautiful lady. Let me book a luxury suite first, and then help me find someone named 'Xie Qianqian'." Zhang Wufeng said politely.

"Well, okay, please show your relevant identification documents for registration. Also, Xie Qianqian will come to see you soon." The etiquette lady said again politely and enthusiastically.

Zhang Wufeng showed his ID card and registered. After a while, when he saw Xie Qianqian in the distance, wearing light makeup, he was stunned. This Xie Qianqian was actually his former college classmate, the beautiful, lovely, simple and shy female classmate.

Once upon a time, Zhang Wufeng even knew that she had secretly liked him, but at that time he only had Yang Xiaolan in his heart, and he pretended not to know about the feelings of other girls. He even silently rejected the girl's dedication when he left school.

Seeing him in such a place, Zhang Wufeng suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss and heartache.

Just by looking at the way she walked and the hint of charm on her face, Zhang Wufeng already knew that Xie Qianqian had fallen.

We were all eighteen or nineteen years old, with beautiful memories of our youth. In the blink of an eye, five years later, we met again in this place.

Xie Qianqian, with a smile on her face, was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhang Wufeng. Then she wanted to turn around and leave, but her feet seemed to have taken root and she couldn't move.

She sighed softly, knowing that she had to face what she had to face, so she didn't avoid anything anymore. After laughing at herself, she walked straight over.

"Zhang Wufeng?"

Xie Qianqian asked tentatively.

"Yes."

Zhang Wufeng looked at Xie Qianqian, with her big wavy hair dyed a light yellow and her light but somewhat glamorous makeup. For a moment, he couldn't imagine her being the same as the innocent little cutie she was back then.

"Are you staying in the hotel? If you need any service, I can provide it for free." Xie Qianqian smiled indifferently, with a tone of self-torture.

"Sir, your room has been registered. It's Room 806. Here is your key. If you need anything, just press the call bell on the wall." The beautiful etiquette lady said gently and enthusiastically.

Zhang Wufeng nodded, took the golden bank card, ID card and key, put them in his pocket, then looked at Xie Qianqian and said, "Come with me first, I have something to tell you."

"If it's a private matter, I don't have time. After all, a lot of my time belongs to the guests." Xie Qianqian was slightly moved, but sighed and said.

"Don't talk about this, it's useless. You don't have to avoid it. This is about Niu Niu." Zhang Wufeng thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"Niuniu, what's wrong with Niuniu? Is someone bullying her?" Xie Qianqian was shocked and wanted to rush out immediately.

"No one is bullying her, I'm just discussing something with you. Come on, accompany me to find a place where we can talk." Zhang Wufeng said gently.

Zhang Wufeng couldn't even imagine that this cute little girl, who was once his classmate, and who had gone shopping, played basketball, drank and talked with him, had now fallen into prostitution.

He just wanted to figure out the reason behind this incident and then help her. After all, to him, Zhang Wufeng, money was just a number.

"Okay. You are in Room 803. Let's talk in the room. This way I won't be punished by Sister Yao." Xie Qianqian lowered her head slightly and said softly.

"Well, that's fine!"

Zhang Wufeng was about to take Xie Qianqian over when a waitress called out, "Xie Qianqian, are you ready? Brother Ma and President Gu are waiting for you to drink with them!"

Zhang Wufeng stopped moving. He looked at Xie Qianqian and saw that Xie Qianqian looked embarrassed. He immediately said to her, "Don't worry. I'll go and say a few words."

"No, Zhang Wufeng, let me go. I'll talk to you later. That's Manager Ma, the project manager of Feida Real Estate Company. He's a big shot." Xie Qianqian said helplessly, turned around and left.

Standing there, Zhang Wufeng lit a cigarette and started smoking. After thinking for a while, he followed Xie Qianqian.

……

In a private room on the first floor.

Ma Yunshan, holding a cigarette, slapped Xie Qianqian in the face.

"Snapped--"

The clear sound of a slap was heard from far away.

"Damn it, I was just using the restroom and you ran away? How can I live in such a shameless way! Xiao Hong said you went to see a gigolo? Are you really going against the will of heaven? Why do you want to run away?"

As he said that, Ma Yunshan slapped him again.
