Lin Zheng closed the curtains and turned on the light in the living room, "It's not dark yet, you should go back early."
Zong Wenjun still felt a little uneasy when he thought of the man in black he saw just now, "Is it okay for you to be at home alone?"
He smiled helplessly, "I'm a man and a soldier, so how could I be afraid? It's you. It won't be safe if you go back too late. I'll take you downstairs."
She nodded shyly. He usually regarded her as a buddy and never cared about these small details. She was a girl and had girls' sensitivity and weaknesses. She deliberately grew her hair long because she didn't want to be his "buddy" anymore.
”.
On the stairs, they staggered by a step. He stood behind her and grabbed her hair. His movements could not be said to be gentle, but he could feel that he was trying to restrain his strength. "My hair has grown so long, when will I start growing it?"
"
In fact, it has been a long time since he was able to tie a small ponytail. He once revealed in front of her that he likes Teacher Luo's hair. It is not very long, just long enough to wrap around her shoulders. She is working hard towards that goal.
However, he could see the changes in her hair, which was enough to surprise and satisfy her.
"My mother said that girls should have long hair."
He paused, understood and smiled, "Well, I agree with your mother's point of view."
He took her to the taxi. She poked her head out of the car window and saw him standing under the streetlight with his hands in his pockets. The top of his sportswear was open, revealing the white T-shirt underneath.
"Are the dumplings delicious?" she asked.
He smiled and said, "It's delicious."
The driver started the car, and she slowly retracted her head. Amidst the loud sound of the engine, a clear sentence floated into her ears, "Next time I want to eat three delicacies stuffing."
She leaned on the soft car seat and covered her face happily. She couldn't say she was in a happy mood. She just felt that the ordinary-looking driver suddenly became heroic, and the traffic outside the window turned into a stream. She
Staring at the rearview mirror until his figure disappeared at the corner of the street, something quietly sprouted and emerged in my heart.
Lin Zheng returned to the place Zong Wenjun pointed to just now. This green belt was full of tall ginkgo trees. He stood under a tree and found that the soil there was covered with footprints. Apparently someone was there.
Stopped and walked around, and...
He bent down and picked up a cigarette butt from the brown soil.
Suddenly there was a sound of a car not far away. He held the cigarette butt in his fist and jumped out like the wind. He climbed over the wall on one side and chased after a few more steps, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't beat the speed of the car.
The silver-white car drew a bright arc at the rear and quickly disappeared from his sight.
"Damn it." Lin Zheng punched the street lamp next to him, just barely.
As a soldier's intuition, he was sure that the man in black standing downstairs and the car just now were closely related. So could their common purpose be... him?
Lin Zheng hurriedly called Fatty. Fatty was not too surprised, "It's been a little weird lately, and I often feel like I'm being watched."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know, but what is certain is that they have received strict training. Otherwise, there is no way I can't catch them. Xiaozheng, please be careful recently and don't run around. I will report the situation to the captain as soon as possible."
"Brother Fatty, be careful too."
"Um."
Fatty was not the first person to tell Lu Sheng about this matter. Xu Chuanyang had already called him before that.
Luo Xi was busy in the kitchen when she saw Lu Sheng, who was talking to his son in the living room, suddenly picked up the phone and walked out. She knew something was wrong, but the ribs in the pot were more important.
"Mom, I'm hungry. When can I eat?"
Suddenly a small white hand was wrapped around her arm. She lowered her head and looked at her daughter. On her fair and beautiful face, there was a pair of eyes as bright as a lake. She had recently cut her short hair and bangs to the ears, making her look very beautiful.
The little face is rounder and cuter.
"It's coming soon. Can you smell the fragrance?"
"It smells so good." She came closer like a kitten, her little nose wrinkled.
"Go and ask grandma and brother to eat."
"Where's dad?"
"Dad is talking on the phone."
"Um."
She quickly disappeared into the kitchen with small steps, and her sweet and crunchy childish voice came from outside, "Brother, brother."
It was rare for the family to sit down and have a meal together again, and even the two children felt the different atmosphere.
Luo Xi put a piece of ribs in the bowl with sugar core. She was holding a small spoon and put the rice into her mouth in big mouthfuls.
"Son, I saw the news on TV. That Zhou Huiyi really deserves it." Mother Lu said angrily: "She wants to be the daughter-in-law of our Lu family. It's simply fantastic."
Lu Sheng whispered: "Mom, your grandson is looking at you."
Mother Lu was so excited that she forgot that Feichen was already an older child and could already understand the conversations between adults. She glanced at Feichen and he was looking at her strangely.
"Xiao Chen, come here, let's eat pork ribs, your mother made them." Mother Lu hurriedly brought Feichen some food, trying to distract him. The child was a child after all, and she forgot the content of the conversation when she lowered her head to eat.
Luo Xi knew that Mother Lu was avenging an injustice for her, so she gave the old man an affirmative smile. Thanks to Mother Lu's presence these days, she was not bullied by Zhou Huiyi. She just thought of that place without emotions, joy and anger, no matter how much she did,
The hatred has been smoothed away and dissipated. People always have to look forward. No matter how bitter or sweet the past is, they always have to move on.
After dinner, Luo Xi was washing the dishes, and the plate at hand was taken over. He was wiping the water stains on the plate bit by bit with a clean tablecloth. This simple housework was something she taught her step by step.
For him.
The clear water washed away the foam on the tableware, and warm lights shrouded it in layers.
He put the plate away and said, "I'm going to take the candy core out tomorrow."
She had never heard him mention, "Where to go?"
"I have a comrade who likes children very much. He has always wanted to meet Tangxin, and he happens to be free tomorrow."
"Should I go with you?"
He smiled and replied: "It's quite far away. You can stay at home with Mom and Xiaochen."
When he went to meet a comrade-in-arms, he brought a small candy core with him. Although this seemed ordinary and nothing weird, Luo Xi always felt an indescribable sense of violation in his heart.
Lu Sheng wiped a few more dishes when the phone at his hand suddenly rang. After taking it, he said a few words and took the towel to wipe his hands, "It's a bit urgent."
"Did something happen in the army?" Before dinner, he kept answering the phone.
He patted her cheek to comfort her, "It's nothing, just a little tricky thing. I'll try to come back as soon as possible. You can sleep on your own, don't wait for me."
He leaned forward and kissed her forehead.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, she suddenly caught up with him from behind and handed him a black umbrella, "The weather forecast says it will rain tonight, so take it with you."
It was nine o'clock and it was raining heavily.
After Luo Xi finished preparing her lessons, she went to Tangxin's room. The bedroom door was closed, but the child was not in the room.
