Group Message

Olive still vaguely remembered.

At that time, after she told him her name as if nothing had happened, Liam just said "ah" then said nothing more.

Maybe it was because he was getting older, he was not as happy as he was when he was a teenager, or maybe it was just because she hasn't seen him for years, and the relationship has become a stranger.

Compared with the past, his indifference covered almost all emotions.

She happened to arrive at the subway station.

Olive flipped through the metro card from her bag and took out her cell phone.

When she saw Abigail's message, she replied casually.

Then she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have followed Liam’s Ins. And Liam followed back.

The two haven't said a word.

However, Olive felt that when he followed, he should not know that this person was her.

Thinking of this, Olive found Liam’s Ins.

No pictures. No videos. No words. Completely blank.

Olive thought that maybe he had blocked her.

Or the person she followed was not Liam at all.

And then she found his W******p. Olive hesitated for a few seconds to the delete button but chose to quit.

When she arrived home, Olive first called the landlord to discuss the surrender of the lease.

The landlord was very nice because she had heard her talk about the situation many times and sympathized with her, a girl who lived outside and quickly agreed.

The landlord said that if she wanted to move now, the deposit and rent paid in advance could be refunded to her.

Olive thanked her gratefully.

After solving this problem, she turned on her computer and began to browse the rental website.

After a while, she couldn't find a suitable one.

Because the house in South Star was really hard to find.

In such a city, the lowest rent for an apartment, which is well furnished and with one bedroom and one living room, was almost three or four thousand a month.

This was indeed difficult for her current economic situation.

Olive had a headache.

She simply said to Abigail: [Abi, I'm going to move.]

Olive: [When you are free, ask your friend if there is a suitable rental room.]

Soon, Abigail made a phone call.

Olive picked up.

Abigail felt strange and went straight into the way, "What's going on?"

“Why do you want to move suddenly? Didn't you pay three months' rent at that time? "

"The neighbor tried to harass me."

Olive gave a brief and concise account of what happened today. "I called the police early this morning and went to the police station with him. Now that he has been detained for five days, I am afraid he will retaliate later, so it would be better to move early. "

"..."

Abigail was confused, and it took her a long time to realize, "Are you all right? Why didn't you tell me about this? "

"It was nothing. He didn't do anything too radical before. He just knocked on the door. It was three or four o'clock when I went to the police station, and it was safe with the police, so there was no need to call you."

"I'm sorry."

Abigail felt guilty. "I thought this apartment was good, cheap, and close to your accompany."

"What are you apologizing for? If you didn't help me find a place to live, I might have to sleep on the street."

Olive laughed. "And I think it is very good. I would have rented it for a long time without this neighbor."

"Well, what are you going to do? Would you like to come and live in my house first? "

"No, didn't your sister-in-law just have a second child?"

Olive said, " I'm afraid it will make them uncomfortable and give them trouble. It's all right. I will move as soon as I found a suitable apartment. "

Abigail had a large family.

Except for a married brother and a sister in high school, they all lived with their parents.

Usually, after work, she also helped to take care of her sister and nephew.

Knowing the situation in his own family, Abigail did not mention it again and sighed again.

"Then why don't you go to your mother's?"

"I didn't tell her I went back to South Star."

"Ah? Why? "

"I'm too busy. Let's talk about it later."

Olive changed the subject and half-joked, "I think I still regret this impulse. Today, I saw that my neighbor's legs were as thick as a bucket. It would take half an hour to cut with a knife."

"..."

Abigail could not help complaining, "What you said is too scary."

"So I'm scared."

Olive said slowly, "If he holds a grudge and then wants to get back at me, there may be such a possibility."

"What?"

"I can't even beat him with a chainsaw."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Olive opened another rental website and scanned it again.

After watching it for a long time, she didn't see anything suitable, so she simply turned off the computer and got up to take a bath.

There was no hurry, Olive thought.

Olive thought that if she hadn't found a new place in five days, he would wait until then.

The next day was the last day of 2013.

The South Star Government and South Star Radio and Television held a New year fireworks show, which was divided into two viewing areas, namely the Bamboo Bay Resort and the East Nine Square.

Tickets were free, but people needed to draw in advance through the online platform.

Only citizens who have made an appointment and have won the draw lots could participate.

When Abigail made an appointment, she chose the Bamboo Bay Resort, and after winning the lot, she invited Olive to go with her.

Olive didn't waste her quota.

The event was approved by the station two weeks ago, and Olive routinely had to work overtime to do a live broadcast.

But unlike where Abigail went, she went to East Nine Square.

Olive applied for an interview car with the station.

The party went to make preparations in advance, and the driver was Frank, her teacher.

In addition to them, Andrew also followed, and Nancy, an experienced reporter.

By the time we got there, there was still a long way to go before the fireworks show began.

The square had three entrances ABC, which were divided into three viewing areas.

There were already a lot of people coming, and at this time they were checking their admission tickets and identity cards at the door, and they continued to enter the field one after another.

Olive and others were just one of the groups assigned to the station and assigned to area A.

In addition to them, there were many reporters from other TV stations and newspapers.

Finding a suitable shooting spot, Frank began to debug the equipment.

This was a relatively large-scale event, the scene was full of people and miscellaneous, there were no fixed seats.

Maybe it was strange to see the camera, and gradually there was a circle of people around, talking to this side in a rustling voice.

The square was shrouded in sea and night, and rows of tall buildings in the distance emit colorful bands of light.

The sea breeze caught low temperature, wet and damp, hit hard in the face.

Olive has not yet fully adapted to the wet and cold weather in South Star, coupled with the fact that she has just got her period today, she was beginning to feel uncomfortable again.

She pulled the mask out of her bag and put it on.

She stood for a while.

Olive looked at the time and planned to go to the bathroom in her spare time.

Frank and Nancy were still communicating with the studio, and she didn't disturb them, so she told Andrew directly.

After following the road sign for more than a hundred meters, she finally saw the public toilet.

There was also a shabby little gazebo next door, which was full of people, resting or waiting.

The toilet space was not large, and the girls' line has been five meters away outside the door.

But there was no one at the door of the men's room.

There was a sharp contrast between the two sides.

Olive had to give up and stood in line.

Bored, she took out her mobile phone and browsed Ins for a while, and it wasn't long before she heard a shallow conversation coming from not far away.

One of the voices was familiar.

Olive looked over.

The light in the small open space outside the pavilion was white and dazzling.

She squinted slightly and saw Liam again in that area with a clear vision.

And a feeling of hallucination.

From this point of view, only his side face can be seen.

The man was indifferent, leaning against the gazebo and wearing an army green windshield coat, showing wide shoulders and long legs.

He wiped his hands with a tissue and looked as if he had just come out of the toilet.

Hunched slightly, he was talking to the middle-aged woman sitting on the bench next to her.

The woman looked up at him and said, "Are you done?"

Liam, "Yes."

The woman stood up and said, "Then just wait here, Ash is still waiting in line. I'm going to find your father first. "

"..."

As soon as Liam stopped, he slowly raised his eyelids and said, "Do I have to wait for her to go to the toilet?"

"Isn't there a lot of people?"

The woman said, "And I want to enjoy a sweet time with your father, what are you going with me?"

"So why did you call me here?"

Liam smiled angrily. "Take care of the baby for you?"

The woman patted him on the arm and seemed gratified, "If you had realized this earlier, your mother wouldn't have to rack my brains to make excuses like this."

Liam, "..."

Before leaving, the woman said again, "By the way, you have a heart-to-heart talk with your sister. I think she seems to be under a lot of pressure recently. She has lost weight during this period of time."

Liam pulled the corner of his lower lip. Would you like to smile and say, "I talk to her?"

Woman, "Well, what's the matter?"

"There is not only a generation gap between her and me," Liam took out his cell phone from his pocket, in an idle tone. "there is also a gender. So I'll leave it to you. "

Silence for three seconds.

The woman said, "Am I still your mother?"

"..."

After the women left, Olive realized that he had been listening to them.

As the line moved forward at this moment, she regained her attention and took a few steps forward.

Liam could not be seen in this position.

About a minute passed.

Abigail sent her three messages.

Abigail: [[/ picture]]

Abigail: [I was surprised.]

Abigail: [I politely sent him mass blessing messages before, but he never replied. I thought he didn't use this W******p anymore.]

Olive clicked on the picture.

It was the chat record of Abigail and Liam.

Liam sent a message, like a group message

With only three words, "Happy New year."

Seeing this, Olive subconsciously withdrew from the chat window and glanced at the unread news.

But she didn’t see Liam’s message.

But the profile picture of Liam was the same as in the screenshot.

Then why didn't she get the mass message?

‘He wouldn't be so narrow-minded not to send it to her on purpose.’

‘Or is it not sent in groups?’

But not long ago, he was lectured by his mother under her nose, and he didn't see that he had so much free time to send blessing messages to people.

She thought about it for a moment.

Olive felt that the greatest possibility was as she had thought before.

He had deleted her.

When she thought of this, she thought of the miscellaneous people in her address book, and simply edited a mass message to get rid of those who had blocked her.

Not long after it was sent out, there were more than a dozen responses immediately.

Olive read from the bottom to the top, one by one, occasionally replied a few words.

When she noticed the top one, Olive was stupefied.

Because she was horrified to find out.

The person who replied to the message was Liam, who was still standing a few meters away from her.

He only sent one symbol.

Liam: [?]

"..."
