"The D63 train from Yongchuan to Beijing has arrived at the station..."
At Beijing Railway Station, Xia Qiu tried her best to look at the familiar figure among the crowd on the platform.
It was probably when everyone in the carriage had almost gotten off the train that I saw Liu Lingmei's figure appearing at the door, followed by a tall and handsome young steward. The huge suitcase he was carrying was immediately obvious to belong to Liu Lingmei. The pink boarding suitcase that is very fashionable nowadays is covered with all kinds of cute stickers.
"Ms. Liu, can I leave it here for you?" The steward carefully took the suitcase under the car and put it away. His eyes were obviously full of reluctance. He hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Is there really no need to take you out of the station?"
"No, no! My friend came to pick me up! Thank you so much!" Liu Ling shied away with a sweet smile. When she turned around, she saw Xia Qiu, who couldn't tell the situation, still standing there stupidly, and quickly waved to her. Then he shouted, "Xia Qiu!"
"Oh..." Xia Qiu responded and came up to meet her. Seeing Liu Lingmei winking at him, he finally understood what she meant and said to the flight attendant, "Just let me help her!"
As soon as Xia Qiu took the suitcase, Liu Lingmei held her arm firmly, turned around and winked at the flight attendant and said, "Goodbye, I'll see you later!"
"Goodbye, I... I'll send you a WeChat message later!" The flight attendant, who was only in his early twenties, said this with some color.
After walking a little further and making sure that the flight attendant could no longer hear their conversation, Xia Qiu shook her head and said to Liu Lingmei, "Isn't it?! You don't even let the flight attendant's brother go?!"
Liu Lingmei rolled her eyes and responded dissatisfied: "Ahem, I'm out of town! It's all Dong Haofan's fault. Why did you book a seat for me? It's so close to the bathroom, and it smells weird! I had to improvise and make a relationship. Change your position!"
"What's going on with you and Du He?"
"We had a quarrel! After I returned to Yongchuan after graduating from college, he spent every day in the underground database. It was difficult to see him. I usually just hurriedly had a meal together and then ran back again, let alone a date! I thought it would be better after getting married, but as a result, their research has made a breakthrough recently, and he is even busier than before! I haven't seen him for a week..." Liu Lingmei's grievances turned into a barrage of complaints. , all of them were given to Xia Qiu.
"Oh, they are all doing it for me!" Xia Qiu felt that she had a heavy responsibility, which also caused discord between Liu Lingmei and Du He.
"What does it have to do with you? They are all scientific lunatics. Even if they don't restart the experiment on the Lost Path to the Demon Realm, they will find other projects to study." Liu Lingmei suddenly put away the disappointment on her face and replaced it with With a sweet smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm here to celebrate your birthday this time! Have you decided how to celebrate this birthday?"
"I told my dad that we would have a meal together at home?" Xia Qiu tried hard to carry Liu Lingmei's suitcase to the elevator, wondering how many salutes she had brought with her to make it so heavy. Could it be that she wanted to be with her here? Du He's cold war is over.
"Ah?! You came all the way to celebrate your birthday, and then you just had a meal at home and sent me away?!" Liu Lingmei was very dissatisfied with Xia Qiu's arrangement.
"Then... go to sing? Or find a bar? You also know that I don't have many friends, and I don't go out much." Xia Qiu decided to accommodate Liu Lingmei, so she proposed again.
"Let's go to the bar. No one has asked me to hang out after I got married. The bars in Yongchuan are so boring!" Liu Lingmei was as excited as a little rabbit, almost jumping up from where she was.
Xia Qiu is about to celebrate her 26th birthday. After graduating from high school, she successfully entered a university in Beijing and then stayed in the city for employment. Ten years passed in a hurry, and her life was uneventful, just like every ordinary woman of the same age.
Now she works in an advertising company as an advertising copywriter. She lives with her father and Xiao Hei. She is almost always on the line between two o'clock on weekdays and weekends, but the two o'clock on weekends is changed from home and work to home and books. pavilion.
As soon as there is a vacation, she will go back to Yongchuan. In addition to visiting her grandparents, she also gets together with her childhood friends. Ouyang Zi, the daughter of Dong Muya and Ouyang Hongye, is over nine years old. She completely inherits Ouyang Hongye's characteristics in terms of personality and appearance, and has a certain amount of demon power. She has become the key to studying the connection between the demon world and the human world.
Ouyang Zi's favorite person is undoubtedly her brother Min Endong. Shortly after the war ended ten years ago, Min Endong's uncle decided to get married. At Min Endong's request, Dong Muya adopted him, so Ouyang Zi has been with Min Endong since birth. She has had a strong desire to possess her brother since she was very young. Anyone of the opposite sex, except her mother Dong Muya, who gets too close to her brother will become her enemy. Liu Lingmei was once put into the enemy's camp, and she made a lot of jokes because of it.
On the other hand, she inherited Dong Muya's mind and was even smarter than her. When she was five or six years old, she was able to assist her brother Min Endong in many things, which solidified her dream of becoming the next manager of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient House.
The confusing path leading to the demon world has never been opened again. Min Endong never gave up trying. He no longer sold information. Instead, he registered a company in Dong Muya's name, engaged in software development, and used the money he earned to continue research with Du He and Dong Haofan.
They always feel that they are getting closer and closer to solving the puzzle, so they can't stop and can't give up, but they are always just a little short of the key point.
Xia Qiucai had just struggled to put Liu Lingmei's suitcase into the trunk of her car when a text message sounded from her phone. She took it out and saw it was from Du He.
"Xia Qiu, have you received Lingmei? I'll ask you to take care of her these days!" Xia Qiu deliberately read the text message from Du He loudly to Liu Lingmei.
Unexpectedly, Liu Lingmei became even more angry. She finally said: "When he has time to send text messages, he doesn't even ask to call me!"
"Are they afraid that you are angry? Oh, tell me, you care about him so much, but you still insist on getting angry with him!" Xia Qiu poked Liu Ling's angry little face and said, "Get in the car! "
"Yeah!" Liu Lingmei sat on the passenger seat.
It was already evening when we came out of the parking lot of the train station. The red sunset made people feel happy. Even though it was the rush hour and there were traffic jams everywhere, it was not so depressing.
American pop music was playing on the radio, and Liu Lingmei danced and hummed along, seemingly having forgotten her quarrel with Du He on a distant alien planet.
As soon as he got home, Xiao Hei ran over barking enthusiastically, wagging his tail and putting his paws on Xia Qiu's legs, and then greeted Liu Lingmei in the same way.
"Has he completely forgotten that he is actually..."
Liu Lingmei watched Xiao Hei curiously ask Xia Qiu, but when she saw her winking at her, she remembered that these things were secrets that Xia's father could not know, so she quickly stopped talking.
After Liu Lingmei's wedding was settled, Xia Qiu took her and her father out to eat at a Hong Kong-style restaurant not far from home. Xia Qiu has a special affection for this restaurant. In fact, when Liu Lingmei came here for the first time, she understood why Xia Qiu liked this place so much, because both the decoration and the atmosphere were very similar to the Flower Language Cafe in Yongchuan.
After dinner, she started to make reservations on the phone at relatively quiet bars that she had been to before, and then contacted a few friends and colleagues with whom she had good relationships and invited them to her birthday party. This kind of thing is what she is least good at. It is okay to go shopping and eat with people she knows occasionally, but it is really difficult for her to become the organizer of a party.
She was still a little hesitant. She had already agreed with her father to celebrate her birthday at home, so it would be awkward to suddenly change her plans. But Xia Xuesong seemed to be relieved after hearing this. In his opinion, it is extremely abnormal for a daughter in her twenties to socialize as monotonously as Xia Qiu. Young people should get together with friends more and stay home all the time. A homebody. In the mind of this rather fashionable dad, 'home girl' is a derogatory term.
"You can feel free to take Lingmei out to party with friends. Xiaohei and I are enjoying the world of men and dogs at home! Going to a bar to party will cost a lot of money, right? Dad will pay for it for you!" Xia Xuesong said in order to show his respect for Xia Qiu She was very supportive of going out to attend the party, and even planned to sponsor all the expenses of her party.
"No, I'm already working, so I still have this little money!" Xia Qiu kept waving her hands.
As the star of the birthday party, she originally wanted to just wear a skirt. That night, when she returned to the room, she took out the clothes she thought were suitable and showed them to Liu Lingmei, but she completely denied them.
"After all, you have been in a big city for so many years, how come your taste has not improved at all?!" Liu Lingmei took out the skirts from Xia Qiu's closet one by one, and then threw them all on the bed with a sneer.
"I usually wear more formal clothes at work. There is no place to go after get off work. I have a lot of casual clothes." Xia Qiu has long known that these outfits of hers will never catch Liu Lingmei's eye.
"Let me save you. I originally wanted to give it to you tomorrow, but it seems I have to take it out now!"
Liu Lingmei said as she went to the corner and pulled out her suitcase and laid it flat on the ground. After opening the suitcase, the top thing was a bag for clothes. The bag was not transparent, so it was impossible to see what kind of clothes were inside.
She mysteriously opened the bag. Inside was a pure white lotus leaf dress. The design from the shoulders to the chest was very unique. It was made of a different material than the skirt and was decorated with silver and pearl beads in a spider web style. picture of.
"Did you design it?" Xia Qiu happily accepted the dress Liu Lingmei gave her and compared it in front of the mirror.
"Well, you think my clothing store is open for nothing?! I sewed every stitch and every thread by myself. It's a customized model!" Liu Lingmei came over and said, "Xiao Qiu, happy birthday!"
She put her face together with Xia Qiu's and looked at her in the mirror with a sweet smile.
