After leaving CSY, Xu Lang did not go home directly or drive out of S City, but went to the nearby Public Security Bureau.
The door of the General Security Bureau was still open, but most of the people were gone, with only a few policemen on duty remaining.
Xu Lang ignored them and went straight to Tian Yongchun's office.
The office door was ajar and Xu Lang knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong..."
"come in."
Tian Yongchun's voice sounded in the office.
Xu Lang opened the door, walked in, and saw Tian Yongchun still sitting behind the desk.
After seeing Xu Lang come in, Tian Yongchun raised his head, looked at Xu Lang, and said, "Sit wherever you want."
Xu Lang walked straight to the opposite side of Tian Yongchun and sat down. He looked at Tian Yongchun and did not speak in a hurry.
Tian Yongchun looked at this young man who had his long snow-white hair cut off, but his hair was already white and his body was stooped. He sighed slightly in his heart. He knew what Xu Lang was here for, and the reason why he stayed until now was to wait for Xu Lang.
Lang, but he was not in a hurry to speak.
Silence spread between the two people, and an indescribable atmosphere rose in the office.
"Why?" Xu Lang asked, staring into Tian Yongchun's eyes.
"Are you referring to the holiday? Or the release of Li Ziyu? If it is a holiday, this is fixed. It is also for the good of your CSY and for the consideration of your members. After all, your CSY criminal investigation team has not been established for a long time. If it is
It refers to the release of Li Ziyu, and you know the reason better than me." Tian Yongchun explained patiently.
————
As time goes by, the sky has become dark, but the setting sun is still shining its last brilliance.
Various CSY investigators returned to CSY one after another and summarized their respective investigation results. However, the time was too short, there were too many things to investigate, and there was no result in one day.
The murderer's first crime scene has not been found yet, and after Ding Haoqiong notified various public security bureaus and asked them to help find the bodies of Xu Lulu and Xu Wanzhen, their bodies have not been found yet. As for Xu Lang's relationship with Xu Lulu and Xu Wanzhen,
The investigation by Li Ziyu, Tang Youyou and others is still continuing, but no breakthrough has been made in a short period of time.
After listening to their reports, Xu Lang pondered for a long time. Seeing that everyone was tired, he asked everyone to get off work.
Since there is no breakthrough in the case for the time being, staying here will not have much effect. It is better to go home and have a good rest. After hearing Xu Lang's arrangement, everyone was very excited. After all, they were all tired.
In fact, not only were they tired, Xu Lang was also tired, and he could hardly bear it anymore.
When we walked out of CSY, it happened to be the time when the sun was setting.
As always, the night is coming again. Like what Big Big Wolf often said, I will definitely come back. When the sunset draws the afterglow away from the earth little by little, the night will definitely come to you and me as promised. Night, put down the darkness
At that time, the hustle and bustle of the day suddenly disappeared, the night gave birth to a new round of indifference, and the silence passed through the darkness and turned into a lonely moan.
Xu Lang was walking home alone. As always, he went to the vegetable market and bought some vegetables that looked fresh but were actually left over from being picked.
Standing at the door, Xu Lang took out the key and turned it gently.
With the sound of the amplifier blaring, the door opened.
By this time, it was already dark, and the room was pitch black.
Xu Lang first turned on the incandescent light switch in the living room, then changed his shoes in front of the shoe cabinet at the door, and then entered the kitchen carrying vegetables.
The room was very clean. Xu Lang noticed when he entered the door that someone had been here and cleaned the room carefully. It was definitely not Xiao Yueyue. Then, it could only be Ye Du or Ye Xuefei. As for them,
Xu Lang didn't know which one among them, and it seemed that it didn't matter anymore.
Xu Lang walked out of the kitchen and subconsciously went to Xiao Yueyue's room.
"Dong dong dong."
Knocking on the door as a habit, but receiving no response, Xu Lang turned the doorknob, and the bedroom door opened. The room was dark. Xu Lang turned on the switch in the bedroom, and some dazzling lights instantly illuminated the entire room.
There were no changes in the room, but the little girl was not in the room. Xu Lang noticed that there were some things missing from the room, which were usually used. Obviously, Xiao Yueyue left and should have followed Ye Du back.
Zhangjiazhuang.
Looking at the empty room, Xu Lang was a little dazed, a little empty, and a little sentimental.
Since having Xiao Yueyue, Xu Lang has become accustomed to her existence. It seems that he has never thought that she will leave. This is also true. However, since returning from Zhuxi County, Xu Lang has become busy.
The time spent with Xiao Yueyue is getting less and less, and Xiao Yueyue is becoming more and more independent. Many times, when he returns home and sees Xiao Yueyue, Xu Lang doesn't know what to say to Xiao Yueyue.
Xu Lang knew this result and had anticipated this possibility when he decided to return to City S and start investigating the organization 'Master Chang' again.
In the past, when Shu Yue was here, no matter when Xu Lang came back, no matter how late he came back, there would always be a lamp at home, which made him feel inexplicably warm. Later, when Shu Yue was gone, Xiao Yueyue's
In the past year, Xu Lang would come back no matter how busy he was, because he still had Xiao Yueyue at home. However, now, after Xu Lang came back, he did not see Xiao Yueyue and could not see her looking at her.
Xu Lang felt very uncomfortable with his disgusted expression, his resentful and aggrieved eyes, and his old-fashioned but funny nagging.
Yes, Xu Lang was very uncomfortable with it. He missed Xiao Yueyue.
"Snapped,"
With a crisp sound, Xu Lang turned off the light in the bedroom. He went to the bathroom, washed briefly, and then walked to the living room.
Xu Lang was actually hungry, but he didn't want to cook because Xiao Yueyue was not at home and Xu Lang was too lazy to cook.
In fact, Xu Lang is very lazy, but after having Xiao Yueyue, he became no longer so lazy, and now that Xiao Yueyue is not around, Xu Lang doesn't want to move anymore without her crying for food.
In the dark night, looking up at the starry sky, my heart felt inexplicably sad. Tears slipped down inadvertently. In this boundless darkness, Xu Lang lost his way. He looked for lights and avenues, but everything was dark in front of him. He stopped and came to the balcony, lonely.
Staring into the distance - seeing nothing.
The wind gently passed over his forehead, singing the song of the years. His soul had been covered for a long time, without a trace of fresh wind. In the dead of night, Xu Lang vented without reservation. However, the darkness could not see
Neither his pain nor the breeze could take away his sadness. He completely lost himself.
Such a night is lonely and beautiful; such Xu Lang is lonely and helpless. He breathed the breath of the night and felt the beating of the night with his scarred heart, but he discovered you - Mingyue.
Xu Lang couldn't help but feel excited, what kind of excitement this must be! The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find the light. This light is the flower that blooms in the night, beautiful and pure; it is the eyes of the night,
It seems that you can peek into people's hearts. In this loneliness intertwined with darkness and loneliness, your holy light warmed Xu Lang's injured thoughts. In Xu Lang's eyes, you are a burning hope. Xu Lang felt his heart
Start to glow with you, beat with you, beat like crazy!
Xu Lang gradually found his lost direction. Under the guidance of your love and light, he forgot his sorrow and became excited in the darkness!
A bright moon, accompanied by insomnia in the dark night, I am no longer alone with this companion. So, I secretly made up my mind to turn on the light of my heart!
Standing on the balcony, Xu Lang thought of many things, but these things actually had nothing to do with Xu Lulu's case or the organization 'Master Chang'. He was just thinking about things.
At this moment, what Xu Lang thought of most was Xiao Yueyue.
Xiao Yueyue is really smart, sensible, and very obedient. However, it is precisely because of her intelligence, sense, and obedience that she feels an inexplicable heartache.
Xu Lang is actually a very lonely person. Yes, he has been lonely since he was a child.
When he was young, it was not his parents who accompanied Xu Lang, but his sister. After his parents passed away, it was his sister who accompanied him the most. After his sister passed away, it was Shu Yue who accompanied him the most. After Shu Yue passed away,
What he does long is Xiao Yueyue.
People often say that a man cares most about three women in his life: mother, wife, and daughter, but in Xu Lang's case, they become his sister, girlfriend, and daughter.
Xu Lang is now in his thirties. Xu Lang's impression of his mother, Zhang Lan, has long been blurred. Many times, he can't remember his mother's face clearly. However, he remembers his sister's face.
Yue's face, and Xiao Yueyue's face.
Xu Lang has been like a lone traveler since he was a child, walking silently on that unpredictable road. He is very lonely and desolate. Once, his sister and Shu Yue accompanied him, but he was still very lonely.
Once, Xu Lang thought: "If I were not Xu Yuan's son, would I not have to endure all this pain? If I were not Xu Yuan's son, would Xu Chan not have died? If I were not
Police, if I didn't investigate the organization 'Master Chang', would Shu Yue and Xu Wei not have died?】
Xu Lang asked himself this question more than once, especially the latter. In the years since he left S City, he kept asking himself, but there was no answer.
Xu Lang was very miserable, but he was never willing to tell anyone, and there was no need to tell anyone. There were not many people who really understood Xu Lang. His sister Xu Chan was one, and the late Shu Yue was one, because they were with Xu Lang.
The woman who went through the most difficult days together.
Is it bitter? Bitter, very bitter, and it is precisely because of this bitterness that when Xu Lang faced despair and danger again and again, he gritted his teeth and survived.
Many times, Xu Lang suffered such serious injuries. When others thought he could not survive, he survived. The same was true some time ago. He almost died, but he still survived.
.
Are you scared?
In the past, Xu Lang didn't feel afraid, especially after his sister was killed. Xu Lang never felt afraid, because besides hatred, there was still hatred in his heart. When he entered the public security system and faced those gangsters, Xu Lang never felt afraid.
Fear, Xu Lang was not afraid when facing danger and on the line between life and death. Xu Lang was not afraid when he saw his colleagues dying. However, when Shu Yue died in front of him, Xu Lang was afraid.
When Xu Wei looked at the sea and smiled calmly, he was scared. When he woke up from the hospital and looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, he was scared.
Leaving S City is not a sign of Xu Lang's fear.
Now, he is back, not because he is not afraid anymore, but because Xu Lang has figured out one thing, even if he hides in the corner of the world, the people of 'Master Chang' will still not let him go.
Before returning to Yanjing City, Xu Lang learned something from the Special Intelligence Bureau.
When I was living in that small place in Zhuxi County, the woman who lived next door with a little boy was actually not a widow, nor was she the child.
Mother, she is from Master Chang.
This matter was only discovered after Sun Wenyao's death when the Secret Service launched a large-scale operation against the 'Master Chang' organization, and it was only learned at that time.
The woman is dead. When the Secret Service arrested her during the operation, she was arrested and shot dead on the spot. As for the little boy, after Xu Lang left S City with Xiao Yueyue, no one knew about it.
Where did he go? According to nearby neighbors, the child was taken back to live by his grandfather. As for the truth, no one knows, and it seems that it doesn't matter anymore.
When Xu Lang first learned about this, he was shocked. However, after he was shocked, he felt relieved after thinking about it carefully.
Xu Lang still doesn't know why the people of 'Master Chang' pay so much attention to him, what do they want from him, and why they refuse to let him go. Xu Lang has no answer. He once asked Boss Deng, but
, Boss Deng did not answer this question. Xu Lang knew that he knew, but for what purpose, he did not say, and Xu Lang did not ask.
There are too many things and secrets in Xu Lang's heart, and there are also many sufferings that ordinary people cannot understand. The reason why he can reach this day and become the Detective Xu that others admire is not a fluke, nor luck, nor luck.
But he got through it step by step. Everyone in CSY was very curious about Xu Lang, why he could be so sharp. Ding Haoqiong was curious, the newcomer Su Liangde was curious, and Shangguan Xue was also curious. However, they did not ask, but asked.
Observing and exploring Xu Lang.
As time goes by, as Xu Lang grows up step by step, more and more burdens are placed on his shoulders, responsibilities are getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure is getting heavier and heavier. He is very tired, really very tired, just like he is now
Like my waist, it has been pressed down by these invisible things and I can't straighten up.
Faced with the curiosity and admiration of his colleagues, the trust and cultivation of his superiors, and the love of Ye Du and others, Xu Lang became more and more tired, and he became more and more desperate. The only thing that gave him hope was, "Chang
The Master's organization is finally no longer mysterious and out of reach. This time around the Sun Wenyao incident, Xu Lang or the state machine finally dealt a fatal blow to this organization that was like a rat hiding in the sewer.
With the death of Sun Wenyao and the arrest of Deng Feizhang and others, although Xu Lang didn't know who else was behind them, Xu Lang had lifted up the skirt of 'Master Chang' and saw the scenery. Now, Xu Lang
Lang had already shifted his gaze from the dead Sun Wenyao to Zhang Ruide, his former playmate and now his enemy.
However, Xu Lang knew very well that there were people behind Zhang Ruide, such as the Mr. Chang whom Ye Du once talked about, such as the guy hiding beside him.
Xu Lang didn't know if there were others behind these people. As people around him died one after another because of this organization, Xu Lang hated this organization more and more, and at the same time, he became more and more afraid.
Xu Lang once firmly believed that evil prevails over good, but after experiencing many things, Xu Lang still believed this, but he was no longer as firm as before.
Yes, Xu Lang was shaken, or in other words, he was scared, frightened, and intimidated, but he had not compromised yet.
Unknowingly, the night had completely fallen, and Xu Lang's dark and deep eyes flashed with starlight.
Xu Lang remembered another small incident, which was a conversation between Xu Lang and Ning Yanran when they were at Yanjing Military Hospital.
"Xu Lang, can we really defeat them?"
"Can."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes."
"But, I see no hope, all I see is fear."
"Everyone has fears."
"Xu Lang, what kind of people are they?"
"have no idea."
"Xu Lang, if, if the person who took the bullet was me instead of Shu Yue, would you be sad?"
"meeting."
"Then will you leave City S?"
"..."
"Won't."
"Xu Lang, have you ever liked me?"
"I liked it."
"Then you love me?"
"..."
"I know, after all, she is the one you love most, Xu Lang. If, if one day, I am like her, will you fall in love with me?"
"I have no idea."
"Xu Lang?"
"Um?"
"nothing."
"oh."
There was a long silence after that. It was Ning Yanran's last conversation with Xu Lang after leaving Yanjing City, and it was also the only conversation.
After Xu Lang woke up, he knew about Ning Yanran's investigation. He did not inquire or ask about Ning Yanran's affairs. Afterwards, Ning Yanran did not mention it. However, Xu Lang discovered that Ning Yanran
It has changed, it has become strange.
There is a secret hidden in Ning Yanran. Xu Lang knew this when he was a criminal investigation consultant. However, he never asked Ning Yanran, and Ning Yanran never mentioned it. The only thing Xu Lang knew was that,
Ning Yanran is very afraid of the dark and has claustrophobia.
"Bang bang bang..."
Just when Xu Lang was thinking about these things, the dark night sky was suddenly illuminated, and fireworks rose into the sky.
Xu Lang raised his head and looked at the night sky. The sky in front of him was still full of fireworks. They were like dandelion seeds, graceful but also lonely.
They are the most ordinary information, but after being carefully polished by people, they can become the most beautiful flowers in the world. After a brief "meeting" with the sky, they will fall from the sky as quickly as possible.
What kind of high posture is that? The proud sky, looking desperately at the solid earth, ending this beautiful journey with the most beautiful smile, like a shooting star, briefly meeting the sky, then saying goodbye, not knowing what will happen next.
Only then can we meet.
Luck is synonymous with shooting stars, but passing away easily is people's only view of fireworks.
Fireworks, as the name suggests, smoke refers to the curling smoke from farmhouses, which means ordinary, and fire refers to the most sacred love and care on the land of China, which like a raging fire fills the hearts of everyone living in this land
All connected in series.
The fireworks in front of you are very beautiful. They illuminate the dark night sky with colorful colors and make people mesmerized. Yes, the fireworks are beautiful.
Looking through the keyhole of the door, a murder did indeed occur in the room.
The corpse's neck was tightly strangled by a rope, and blood was dripping from the corners of its mouth.
At the other end of the rope was a hand (the murderer's hand) wearing surgical gloves.
The detective witnessed the murder scene through the locked keyhole.
However, when the administrator opened the door, there was nothing inside and no one was found.
The murderer and the dead body actually disappeared from this airtight room like a dream!
The door, window and partition door connecting the next room were all locked, and there were no other entrances or exits to the room.
However, when the detectives and others only took three minutes to enter the room, the room was already empty.
"It's incredible! This is simply a miracle. How is it possible? How could such a thing happen?"
Faced with such a meticulous criminal method, even the detective couldn't help but marvel at the case.
Suddenly, there was a frightening thunder that rattled the old windows.
This is a sanatorium located on an isolated island. There is no external communication here at all. You can only communicate with the outside world by waiting for the ship to arrive in three days.
"Ah! How could it become like this?"
"No, I don't want to die yet!"
"God, save me!"
Everyone present was so frightened that they screamed hysterically.
However, among these people, there was one person who was spying on the detective's actions.
(Secret room murder.)
The detective screamed in his heart, his eyes instantly lit up with blazing fire, and he stared at the expressions of everyone present with sharp eyes.
(Someone is lying! There must be someone who is acting! I need to think about it calmly! A locked door? A keyhole...)
The detective screamed in his heart.
(When the administrator came to open the door with another key, at that moment, there were some strange noises in the room, like the sound of something being dragged on the ground. After pressing it, there was another heavy sound.
The sound of objects falling to the ground. The clue must be there!)
The terrifying murderer is competing with the detective.
The bloody serial killings have just begun...
The young man fell asleep quietly, but his sleep was extremely restless.
He let himself step into the gate of hell, only to be pulled back at the critical moment.
From that moment on, the boy's body was covered with plastic tubes and he slept quietly relying on these life-support equipment.
"This is a one-in-a-thousand chance. We can only wait for a miracle to happen."
Because of the doctor's words, the whole family waited patiently for the boy to regain consciousness.
The boy's mother is a nurse in this hospital. She often takes time out of her busy schedule to visit the boy, hold his hand, talk to him, play his favorite music, and then sing "Cradle"
After the song, he quietly left the ward.
The boy's mother had endless hope, because she had seen patients miraculously wake up several times, so she deeply believed that her son would also wake up again.
In fact, the teenager has become a "vegetative state": this is an extremely cold and cruel medical term.
Although warm, bright red blood was still flowing in the boy's body, he still fell asleep motionless.
Half a year ago, on a lightly snowing morning, a young man hanged himself in his high school.
When he was discovered by two female students who came to school early to practice tennis, the boy had lost consciousness.
Although the physical education teacher who arrived later gave the boy artificial respiration immediately, it was not until he was taken into the ambulance that he regained his breathing function.
There were marks on the boy's neck that he had scratched with his own fingernails due to the painful struggle.
Suicide by hanging usually occurs in two situations: one is cervical vertebra detachment, cardiac arrest, and immediate sudden death;
The other is suffocation after the neck is strangled with a rope. In the case of the teenager,
the latter.
Although he was discovered early and his life was saved, the boy's consciousness never recovered due to long-term lack of oxygen in his brain, which resulted in brain death.
There is a small table beside the boy's bed, and a personal computer is placed on the small table. There is also an unfinished novel on the computer's hard drive.
His dream was to become a novelist, but in the end he committed suicide.
No suicide note was found at the suicide scene or at home. However, his classmates seemed to know the reason for his suicide, but no one was willing to tell them.
As for the incident of the teenager's suicide attempt, it was published in a corner of the next morning's newspaper with the headline "Can't bear the pressure of going to college."
In addition to placing a personal computer on the small table, there is also a dark blue glass vase with a bouquet of red roses in the vase.
This bouquet of blooming red roses seems to be guarding the expressionless boy.
The nurse and the boy's mother could not remember when the roses first appeared.
I only know that someone brings a bouquet of red roses to see the boy every day, and then leaves after arranging the flowers.
However, no one knew who sent the flowers.
Bouquet after bouquet of roses is like the visitor's unwavering determination.
In the chest of this mysterious visitor, there is an unforgettable feeling of hatred and a strong "murderous intention"!
————
The Spring Festival is the most important day of the year for everyone. People who have worked hard for a year can put down their work and have a good rest. People who have worked in other places have already returned home. Back home, carrying big and small bags, they return to their hometown to reunite with their families; those children can wear new clothes, new trousers, and new shoes on New Year's Eve, and receive thick New Year's money.
It seems that everyone is in a particularly good mood as the New Year approaches, but for some people, the arrival of the New Year is not a very pleasant thing, such as those who still stick to their posts, such as Wu Liang , at this moment, he was leading the criminal investigation team and was worried about the murder case in Sanli Village in which three people died and five were injured.
When Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue came back from Sanli Village, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon and almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
The brand-new Spring Festival couplets, door paintings, and blessing characters have all been posted, and the fruits and vegetables for the New Year have been bought early. In fact, for Xu Lang's family, the arrival of the Spring Festival is no different from usual. On weekdays, Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue spent the New Year's Eve alone. Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue spent the New Year's Eve alone. It was deserted and ordinary. It seemed that there was no difference. The only difference was that the old The Spring Festival couplets and door paintings were replaced, and new ones were put up, and that was it.
Xu Lang's home, or his new home, is actually not big. It is just a two-story red brick Western-style building. The first floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom. Of course, there is also a bedroom. However,
It was used by Xu Lang as a storage room. There were three bedrooms and a study room on the second floor. Xu Lang's room was the largest, located on the outside. Xiao Yueyue's bedroom was slightly smaller, next to Xu Lang's bedroom.
There is another bedroom next to Xiao Yueyue's bedroom, but no one lives in it. The innermost one is a study room.
The study is always locked, and only Xu Lang himself knows what is stored in it. Even Xiao Yueyue, who has grown up with Xu Lang since childhood, does not know. It seems that no one has ever opened the study.
It was still early for the New Year's Eve dinner. After Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue returned from Sanli Village, two people, one large and one small, moved two benches and sat at the door, watching the people passing by in front of their house.
These people were carrying a large bag in their hands, which contained items for ancestor worship, fire paper, incense, candles, and firecrackers.
Xu Lang is from City S, Province H. He grew up in a coastal city since he was a child. Although his parents later encountered changes, he and his sister Xu Chan followed their grandmother to live in the countryside. However, they did not spend the New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve.
It is the custom of going to worship their ancestors on the day of Qingming Festival. They only go to the graves on the Qingming Festival and the anniversary of the death of their relatives. Zhuxi County is a small county and it is deep in the mountains. Many people of the older generation pass on
The customs that have been passed down are still inherited by the younger generation.
Since Xu Lang settled here, every year on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, he would sit on a bench at the door and watch the people coming and going. Of course, it is different now than when he first came here.
, when Xu Lang first came here, he would sit at the door and look at the passers-by outside. However, at that time, only a bench was enough, and Xiao Yueyue was still a baby and needed him to hold her in his arms. Now
, five years have passed, Xiao Yueyue has grown up, and needs two benches.
After Xiao Yueyue came back, she put her little schoolbag back in her bedroom. At this moment, she was sitting next to Xu Lang, arching her legs, putting her arms on her knees, and supporting her with a pair of pink little hands.
With her tender cheeks, she looked curiously at the people passing by her door.
Xiao Yueyue is very sensible. She is much smarter and more precocious than the average peers. She has perfectly inherited this from Xu Lang and her mother. For a little girl who has lived in this small county town since she was a child,
She knew what those people were carrying, and she also knew that today was New Year's Eve. However, what she was curious about was why others would choose to pay homage to their ancestors and sweep their tombs. Why didn't Xu Lang take her there? So,
Xiao Yueyue looked at the road in front of the door and asked in a sweet voice: "Dad, why are they all going to pay homage to their ancestors and sweep their graves? Why don't we go?"
Xu Lang sat on the bench and leaned against the wall at the door. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the sky above his head. When he heard Xiao Yueyue's question, Xu Lang did not turn his head, but said lightly: "Because we
My relatives are not here."
"Oh, then where are our relatives?" Xiao Yueyue tilted her head and asked Xu Lang's profile.
"In a place far, far away."
"What is that place?"
"In the southernmost part of China, on the edge of the sea."
"The sea? I haven't seen the sea yet? I heard that the sea is very big, full of water, endless, and you can't see the edge. Is this true?"
"it is true."
"Wow, when will we go back to pay homage to our ancestors and sweep their graves? I want to see the sea." Xiao Yueyue looked at Xu Lang expectantly.
Hearing Xiao Yueyue's question, Xu Lang fell silent. The expression on his face was very sad, even sad.
Xiao Yueyue kept looking at Xu Lang's face. She didn't know why Xu Lang didn't answer her, but she knew that Xu Lang must have remembered something that made him unhappy and sad. Xiao Yueyue discovered that Xu Lang now
Her expression was just like when she was three years old, lying on Xu Lang's lap, pinching Xu Lang's cheeks with both hands, and asking Xu Lang in a childish voice: "Dad, where is mom? Why isn't she with us?"
How about living together? Does she no longer want Xiao Yueyue? "
That time, Xu Lang was silent for a long time, without telling Xiao Yueyue where her mother was. At that time, Xu Lang's expression was the same as now.
Xiao Yueyue has been very sensible and precocious since she was a child. When she found that when she mentioned her mother, Xu Lang would be very silent. When she was very sad, she never mentioned her mother again, nor asked Xu Lang.
Where is mom?
No matter how smart, sensible, and precocious Xiao Yueyue is, she is only a child over five years old after all. When she started going to kindergarten, she saw that all the children in the kindergarten had their mothers taking them to school.
She didn't have it. Xiao Yueyue was very envious. At the same time, there was also a bit of jealousy of a child, but she was more sad. She didn't know why. When she asked her father about her mother, he always said
Silence, she didn't know where her mother had gone, had she and her father been abandoned? She didn't even know why other people's fathers had black hair, while her own father had white hair.
Xiao Yueyue knew that Xu Lang had been very unhappy these years. As for why Xu Lang was unhappy, Xiao Yueyue was still young, and she couldn't guess it yet based on her IQ.
The two were silent for a long time. Xu Lang suddenly lowered his head, turned his head and looked at Xiao Yueyue, who had been holding up his face and looking at him carefully, and asked: "How old are you now?"
Xiao Yueyue was stunned for a moment, then showed a strange expression, blinking her big eyes that looked very similar to Xu Lang's, as if to say, you are my father, don't you know how old I am this year?
However, Xu Lang didn't speak and just looked at Xiao Yueyue.
Seeing that Xu Lang was silent, Xiao Yueyue thought for a while and said, "In three days, I will be six years old."
"Oh, Xiao Yueyue is almost six years old." Xu Lang murmured to himself, then looked at Xiao Yueyue and asked: "Do you want to go to the city where your father lived before?"
Xiao Yueyue didn't appear as happy as other children. She stared at Xu Lang's eyes for a long time, and then asked cautiously: "Do you want to go back?"
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, knowing what Xiao Yueyue was thinking. He laughed dumbly, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Yueyue's head without saying anything.
With her head being kneaded affectionately by Xu Lang, Xiao Yueyue behaved like a little kitten, lying on Xu Lang's lap, slightly squinting her eyes, enjoying Xu Lang's touch.
The two were silent for a while, and Xu Lang stopped the intimate gesture. He looked at Xiao Yueyue and said slowly: "Don't you really want to see the sea? After the New Year, let's go see the sea, okay?"
"
"Really?"
Xiao Yueyue was still just a child after all. When she heard Xu Lang say this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Lang with surprise on her face.
Xu Lang smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Seeing Xu Lang nodded, Xiao Yueyue's eyes suddenly narrowed into crescent moons, a happy smile appeared on her face, and the two dimples on her face suddenly appeared, looking so cute.
However, Xiao Yueyue's expression did not last long. She seemed to have thought of something, turned her head, glanced at the home behind her, and then asked: "Then we will come back after we leave?"
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "I'm not coming back."
"What about the house?"
"Just leave it here."
"Why don't you come back?"
"Because we still have a home by the sea."
"This is our home too."
"This is just our temporary home. Our home is in a place called S City."
"dad."
"Um?"
"Brother Lang."
"Um?"
"Xu Lang."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't want to see the sea anymore."
"Why?"
"I don't want to abandon this home."
"Our home is in the south, and this is just our temporary home."
