November of this year has been quite long.
Perhaps it was the separation that lengthened the space and time. Even though it was less than a month, Xiang Wan seemed to have experienced a century.
The same way of chatting as clocking in three times a day in the morning, noon, and night can no longer satisfy missing.
There was clearly a fire hidden in my heart, but it was wrapped in a layer of ice.
The little wings of thought had already flown to the capital, but she had to suppress her emotions, and worked and studied hard every day, as if she didn't miss it that much.
Sometimes when she is tired of writing, she will want to be lazy.
But it was like a small leather whip was whipping behind him. Let her not dare to stop updating, not even for a day.
Twelve is coming soon.
Although Qi Canghai politely persuaded him to stay, Xiang Wan still left the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Hongjiang District on the first day of December.
After getting along for so long, colleagues are very reluctant to bear her.
People's hearts are fleshy, and Xiang Wan actually felt a little bit reluctant.
When leaving, she packed her things into small cardboard boxes one by one, cleaned the office for the last time, and said goodbye to everyone with a smile.
Most of the criminal investigation team are men, and they have not shown too much emotion.
The only lady, Mei Xin, just nodded slightly to Xiang Wan.
"goodbye."
"Goodbye." Xiang Wan waved to her, "I will have a chance to eat, drink and have fun together later—"
"Ok."
Mei Xin didn't have a single word.
But after Xiangwan left, she stood alone at the window where the succulents were planted upstairs, watching her leaving figure from afar, and stood expressionlessly for a long time... Then, she lowered her head and slowly tended to those flourishing succulents .
It has cooled down.
Xiang Wan was carrying a suitcase, not wanting to squeeze the subway.
She stood at the gate of the criminal investigation team, ready to take a taxi.
But as soon as he clicked on the taxi-hailing app, a horn sounded from behind.
Xiang Wan turned her head and saw Cheng Zheng's car driving out and parked beside her.
"Come on, I'll give you a ride."
"Are you off work now?"
"get off work."
"..."
Ever since Xiang Wan's mother was hospitalized, she and Cheng Zheng haven't been together for a long time.
Those years of having breakfast together and going to work together in the past seem to have passed as far away as a century, and the time is so long that the events and many feelings are blurred in memory.
"Ok!"
Xiang Wan did not refuse.
Smiling and saying thank you, she sat in the back seat with the suitcase in her arms.
Cheng Zheng glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and silently started the car.
Cheng Zheng knew about her resignation.
But he didn't ask, and Xiang Wan didn't take the initiative to mention it.
The two of them walked through the long streets without saying a word.
The car stopped at the gate of the community.
Cheng Tian sat there, holding the steering wheel tightly with his hands, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned to look at Xiang Wan.
"Are you planning to go to Kyoto?"
Xiang Wan didn't know how to respond to the sudden words.
Cheng Zheng: "I heard that your mother is recovering well, and she will be discharged from the hospital soon?"
Xiang Wan glanced at him: "He has been discharged from the hospital."
Cheng Zheng frowned: "I haven't been to the hospital recently, I'm sorry."
Xiang Wan smiled slightly, "Cheng Dui, you've helped me enough. I'm the one who's sorry."
Cheng Zheng pursed his lips and looked into her eyes deeply, "If you need anything in the future, you can come to me again."
after…
Apart from smiling, Xiang Wan didn't know what to say.
Cheng Zheng hesitated, and added, "I don't mean anything else."
Xiang Wan smiled, "I will, thank you Cheng Dui."
When getting out of the car, Xiang Wan stood on the side of the road with her suitcase in her arms, put down the suitcase, and waved to Cheng Zheng.
"Cheng Dui, goodbye."
Cheng Zheng looked gloomy, looked at her and said slowly: "I am also planning to transfer back to Kyoto, and I will wait for the appointment."
Ok? Xiang Wan was startled, and turned his head suddenly, meeting his burning eyes.
"You..." I wanted to ask something, but felt it was inappropriate.
Cheng Zheng glanced at her, without any strange expression: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you. It's just that Hongjiang District is really too small. I want to develop better and get in touch with more interesting cases, so I have to go back to Kyoto—besides , my family is all there."
Xiang Wan's cheeks twitched slightly.
She didn't dare to think affectionately that it was because of her that Cheng went back.
"That's pretty good. I wish Team Cheng a bright future. But, about the house..."
"Don't worry about that, Fang Yuanyuan can't live anymore? She will negotiate with me when the time comes."
The person who rented the house at the beginning was Fang Yuanyuan.
Even if the lease was to be withdrawn, it was right for Fang Yuanyuan to do it.
Xiang Wan hummed softly, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
each leave.
Xiang Wan upstairs, Cheng Zheng didn't go to stop the car, and went straight back the same way.
Both he and she are sober and rational people who will not affect their present for a future that does not exist.
Xiang Wan is, and so is Cheng Zheng.
Life has fixed the track, and everything in the past is like a fragmented mirror image.
Smashed, reassembled.
…
Xiang Wan went home to pack up, wrote two chapters and updated them, and when Fang Yuanyuan came back from get off work, they went to my aunt's house together.
Seriously speaking, Xiangwan's family is a little more miserable than Fangyuanyuan's. Today, with house prices rising day by day, Fangyuanyuan's family still has at least one second house, while her... house was sold at a low price a few years ago. Now I don't even have a permanent residence.
Xiang Wan's heart was heavy.
But stepping into my aunt's villa again, the situation was completely different from earlier.
Another nanny was hired at home.
It's not taking care of Tiantian, it's taking care of Tan Yunchun and housework.
After more than a month of recuperation, Tan Yunchun originally wanted to continue working after returning from illness, but Tan Yuechun refused to do anything, and didn't let her do anything.
Not only that, but the whole atmosphere at home is different.
Seeing Xiang Wan and Fang Yuanyuan, my aunt smiled.
"The meal has been ready for a long time, just waiting for you."
Fang Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, then responded, and gave Xiang Wan a strange look.
Xiang Wan couldn't figure it out himself.
Serious, high cold? Condescending
Could it be that my mother's illness made my aunt realize some life mystery
She guessed in her heart, but dared not ask.
As before, the two entered the table carefully.
There is no doubt that there is a lot of food on the Xing family's dinner table.
It was not the first time Xiang Wan ate here, but it was the first time he felt the warmth.
"Wanwan, your mother wants to eat something light. These dishes are specially made for you by the kitchen..."
How long has it been since my aunt brought food for her? Xiang Wan was a little flattered by the sudden love.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Thank you? I'm your aunt, dear aunt."
The aunt said with a smile, and picked another dish for the flat-mouthed Xing Feifei.
"Hurry up and eat! Eat and read a book."
Seeing this, Fang Yuanyuan grinned and muttered, "Why don't you have mine!"
She didn't dare to ask before, but today... isn't my aunt in a different state
As a result, as soon as the words came out, Tan Yuechun beat her back.
"Shut up! Look at you..." Looking at her up and down, the auntie's eyes revealed the familiar look of Fang Yuanyuan again, "Be patient! Take care of your body. This is how fat you are before you get married. After giving birth to a child, is that okay?"
"..."
Fang Yuanyuan was completely speechless.
"If I had known that I would be dissed, I would not have said anything."
"For your own good!" Tan Yuechun was furious, and looked at her like an aesthetic expert, "Isn't there a popular saying among you young people? Every fat person is a potential stock..."
"Auntie, I'm so fat, I'm only 120 catties..."
"Heh!" Tan Yuechun glared at her, "You don't want to know if you are a beautiful woman who is overwhelmed by the country if you are thin by double digits?"
In a word, poke the fovea.
Fang Yuanyuan silently took back the chopsticks holding the salt and pepper chicken.
"Hmph!" Seeing her honestly eating vegetables, my aunt was satisfied, and looked back at Xiang Wan.
"Wan Wan, you see that your mother is almost doing well, when are you going to go to Kyoto?"
"..."
My aunt has always been like this, never caring about the work of the sisters.
But for the boyfriend they are talking about, I am very concerned.
After Bai Muchuan went back to Jincheng that day and pretended to be a bully, my aunt basically approved of his status. Then she asked someone else in private, and when she heard that it was a child from the Bai family in Jingdu, she couldn't sit still.
"Young men and women, they don't have a qualitative mind. Long-distance relationships are not conducive to the development of relationships..."
Speaking of this, Tan Yuechun glanced at Xing Yuanhang who was silent.
"Now the little goblins are really powerful. Not to mention young people with talent and good looks like Xiaobai, even middle-aged uncles, as long as they have money and status, they are all shameless, rushing forward …”
"Ahem!" Xing Yuanhang put down the bowl.
He glanced at her expressionlessly, then smiled and said to Xiang Wan and Fang Yuanyuan.
"Eat slowly, I'm done."
He went upstairs, said little, and made no other movement.
But as soon as he walked away, Tan Yuechun's expression changed on the back.
In front of her niece, she couldn't hold back. But he couldn't get angry, couldn't laugh, and just froze there.
Xiang Wan looked at Xing Yuanhang's back, then at his aunt's face, and fell silent for a moment.
"Auntie, I guess I will go to Kyoto in the next two days. So, I am a little worried about my mother..."
After a pause, she simply put down her chopsticks and said seriously: "I came here today to tell you about this matter. If there is no shortage of staff at my aunt's house, I hope my mother can go with me. It's just a trip. , relax... "
