In fact, she was not really drunk, but just happy. Grandpa and grandma were laughing, she was laughing too, and the whole family was laughing.
It was the last Mid-Autumn Festival that the family spent together. Duanmo sometimes wondered if the previous ones were dreams? When I woke up from the dream, everything disappeared and there was nothing left.
"Which one tastes better, this or the apricot wine?" A goblet filled with light golden liquid was pushed in front of him.
"Sorry, I was distracted." Duanmo smiled, but found that there was only one glass of wine, "Why don't you drink?"
"You drove here, did you forget?" Lu Wuchuan picked up the lemonade in front of him and raised it in front of him.
Duan Mo understood and clinked glasses with him: "Brother Lu, I wish you all the best in the new year!"
The floral and fruity aroma accompanied the aroma of the wine in your mouth. Just as you were savoring it, you heard the man opposite say softly: "Happy birthday to you!"
"How did you know today is my birthday?" Duanmo almost choked on his wine.
Lu Wuchuan chuckled: "When I came back from Jishan, I took my ID card to pick up the ticket." This reason was easier to accept, and he wouldn't say that he had noticed it when he first looked at the file.
It was rare that he still remembered and said thank you at the end. She hadn't celebrated her birthday in several years. If she hadn't received a text message from the bank every year on this day, she would have forgotten when she was born.
The alcohol content of the sweet white wine was not high, and Duanmo's alcohol content was not bad, but for some reason, after half a glass of wine, she actually felt a little intoxicated.
"Brother Lu, actually you are quite good sometimes."
Lu Wuchuan's eyebrows raised slightly: "Sometimes?"
"Yeah." Duanmo nodded seriously, "That's good now."
"It wasn't good before?"
"No, it's just that in the past few days, I've been talking to you for no reason, and I've been rude and unreasonable, which makes me uncomfortable."
"That's because I'm unhappy."
"Just for the case?" Duan Mo waved his hand, "Liu Yue has done it so many times, it's normal for him to forget. Just like Brother Yan said, if you find new clues in the future, you can continue to investigate. It makes sense to keep struggling here.
?”
Lu Wuchuan chuckled: "Little girl, you actually taught me a lesson." Although the case was not satisfactory, it did not affect his mood. But he couldn't say that he was angry with her, because he was angry with her for putting him with others.
Do women force themselves to be twisted together?
"Well, that's how it should be now." Duanmo said, "Smile more and your mood will naturally improve. Don't always keep a straight face, it's a waste."
"Why was it wasted?" Lu Wuchuan didn't know why.
Duanmo curled his lips: "You are so good-looking, but you are always suffering and resenting every day. Isn't it just a waste?"
Lu Wuchuan touched his face. Although it was not appropriate to describe a man with "good", he was still very happy that the little girl could say that.
After three drinks and five dishes, a small and exquisite birthday cake was delivered to the dining table.
Seeing the little girl's surprise, the smile on Lu Wuchuan's face grew stronger: "Kids, stop being silly and make a wish and blow out the candles."
Duanmo put his hands together and made a wish, puffed up his small mouth and blew out the candle.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
"I want to thank me and spend the New Year's Eve with me." He didn't want to be too obvious, so he kept everything simple. He didn't expect the little girl to be so happy, and Lu Wuchuan didn't want to let her go home too early.
Duan Mo looked at the time on his phone, it was 8:40: "There are still more than three hours. How about going to my house soon and calling Yan Linfei down, let's..."
The smile on Lu Wuchuan's face disappeared instantly: "Why did you call him?"
"You are the only friend he has in Liancheng. He is quite lonely. Besides, we just used their card today..."
"Forget it, I just need to accompany him. You have to go home tomorrow, so you should rest early." Lu Wuchuan interrupted her again.
Duan Mo blinked his eyes, when will he be able to change his habit of turning his back faster than turning the pages of a book?
An hour later, the car drove into Lianbei New Town. After parking the car in the parking space, Lu Wuchuan took out a small rectangular box from the armrest box: "Birthday gift." He originally planned to give it to him one second before the New Year's bell rang.
She brought her twenty-first birthday to a successful conclusion. But, alas...
Seeing that the little girl was hesitant, he simply put it into her hand: "I'll give you a little gift, just take it."
"Um...can I open it now?" Duanmo thought in her mind that if it was too expensive or inappropriate, she would return it on the spot.
Lu Wuchuan nodded and turned on the lights in the car.
The leather box with light blue bow is simple and elegant. Open it and there is a pen lying quietly inside. The silver-white pen barrel and golden hollow decoration are simple and elegant.
Lu Wuchuan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said in a low voice: "It's just a pen. I hope you can study hard and make progress every day."
Duan Mo burst into laughter: "This is so contemporary. Thank you, I'll accept it." Fortunately, it was just a pen. If it were anything else, it would be really hard to accept it.
The two got out of the car, walked around a garden to the door of the unit, swiped the door lock, and walked in one after the other.
Not far away from the flower bed, a man got out of the cab of a black business car. He was not tall but very burly. The man opened the door somehow, stayed in the elevator for a moment, then turned and left.
"The elevator stopped at the fifteenth floor for more than twenty seconds, and then went up to the eighteenth floor." The man glanced at the people in the back seat through the rearview mirror, thought for a while and asked, "Since you are here, why don't you get up?"
"Pressing too hard will scare her." A light was turned on in a window in the tall building, and the slender figure came to the window. The curtains were drawn, covering up the light and the figure at the same time.
When did that little girl with pigtails and softly calling "Brother Huai Zheng" stop clinging to her? It seemed like the time when she beat someone to death.
The bright black eyes were full of fear, like a frightened deer, but they stayed there motionless.
He stopped and did not continue. If he hadn't seen her, maybe that person would really die.
After that fight, the little girl would still call him Brother Huai Zheng, but there was always a faint tremor in her voice. He knew that she was frightened. When there was another fight, he would deliberately avoid it and not let her see it.
That year, she left in a hurry and didn't have time to say anything. When she said goodbye, she was on the playground of the police academy. Her black training clothes and her back were soaked with sweat. Even the boys complained about the training program, but she didn't.
He persisted until the end without saying a word.
He did not appear in front of her, but turned around and left. At the same time, he also made up his mind to speed up the process, get to her earlier, protect her under his wings, and spend his whole life making up for the time he had to miss.
