When Lin Yan said that sentence, Song Yuhang also knelt down. The scene she imagined countless times was actually completed by the other party.
Song Yuhang burst into tears and wept with joy, allowing the other party to put the ring on his ring finger.
The two smiled at each other with tears in their eyes, and then they kissed each other and filled out the marriage certificate.
After the ceremony was completed, Ji Jingxing pulled Xiao Wei out of the city hall, and the two sat on a bench by the street.
Xiao Wei dangled her feet, watching the golden dome of the city hall stand quietly in the setting sun in the distance.
Every day, people come here to register for marriage, and men in suits and leather shoes walk past them with blond girls on their arms.
"Mom, the weddings on TV are all male and female, why can my aunts do it too?"
There was a trace of doubt in the child's eyes, full of innocence and incomprehension.
Ji Jingxing touched her head slowly, and said earnestly: "My mother used to think about this question too, Xiao Wei, you have to remember that in this world, no matter what nationality, gender, race, or identity... as long as two people love each other Anyone can marry."
Xiao Wei suddenly realized: "Then mother also decided to get married because she and Uncle Liang love each other?"
Ji Jingxing blushed, and gently scratched her nose: "You're a big kid."
Xiao Wei giggled, jumped down from the bench, grabbed her hand and kissed her: "Mom, no matter who you marry, I hope you are happy, just like my aunt and Aunt Lin."
Ji Jingxing's eyes turned hot, and he pulled him into his arms.
"Silly boy, you have worked hard all these years."
The news has always said that single mothers are very hard, but how happy are children born in single-parent families
I was always unable to attend parent-teacher meetings because I was busy with work, and I was always the last one to leave after school. Because I stayed at home and had no one to take care of me, I went to endless cram schools.
Most importantly, the love that is forever missing.
Fortunately, all this is finally coming to a successful conclusion.
Ji Jingxing thought in his heart, tears fell down his face.
A somewhat abrupt and playful voice broke in.
"Xiaowei, after returning to China, I will take you to a big meal, permanent free tickets to the amusement park, and the latest Barbie doll suit, call uncle to come and listen."
Lin Yan was still wearing that white suit, slender and tall, her long hair was coiled up to reveal her snow-white neck, and she hugged her with arms folded, full of aura.
Ji Jingxing glanced at her, let go of the child, wiped the corners of his eyes and stood up.
Xiao Wei's eyes were full of excitement: "Gu..."
Before she finished speaking, Song Yuhang had strode over and pushed Lin Yan's head down.
The attack is not heavy, but the tone is quite gnashing of teeth.
"Xiaowei, don't listen to her, call me uncle instead, don't wait to go back to China, I will take you skiing right now!"
Filled with indignation, Lin Yanyi pushed her by the shoulders and walked forward under the pressure of others.
"Xiao Wei, call me, don't you like snow? I'll take you to Siberia, and the North Pole is also fine."
"Russia is so cold, what's the fun, I'll take you to the aquarium to see white whales."
Lin Yan gritted her teeth and turned her head frequently: "Xiao Wei, I will contract you a year's extra-curricular books and cartoons, all kinds of new clothes and shoes, and unlimited supplies of toys."
Song Yuhang was ruthless: "Xiaowei, don't you want to do math homework? I can..."
Ji Jingxing dragged Xiao Wei to walk with them, seeing that his words became more and more outrageous, he said angrily, "Can you teach me something better!"
Xiao Wei covered her mouth with her hands, burst into laughter, raised her head and sweetly called to the two of them: "Auntie~"

After that, they stayed in Vancouver for about two weeks, strolling in the oldest neighborhood in the area, drinking a cup of open-air coffee; riding in Stanley Park, looking at the magnificent Lions Gate Bridge; going to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, feeling the world The most thrilling 140 meters.
Down below is the rushing river valley, Lin Yan was terrified, and grabbed her by the hem of her clothes, refusing to leave.
Xiao Wei, Ji Jingxing and Mother Song passed by early and waved to them at the bridge.
Song Yuhang smiled: "Are you afraid?"
The suspension bridge was entirely paved with wooden boards, and it was crumbling in the wind, looking like it was in disrepair.
Lin Yan shook his head like a rattle, and shrank back: "Afraid... What are you afraid of?! My... I don't want to play, so I'll wait for you outside the park!"
As he said that, he turned around and was about to run out, Song Yuhang pulled the man back and put him in his arms, with a gentle tone.
"If you're afraid, close your eyes."
Before Lin Yan blurted out the swear words, he lightened up and was picked up by someone, screaming out of his throat.
"Ahhh!"
As soon as she ran, the suspension bridge shook even more violently, and Lin Yan was so shaken that he had to close his eyes and hug her neck tightly.
"Song Yuhang, fuck! Fuck! Ahhh, wait for me!!!"
Ji Jingxing and Xiao Wei on the opposite side laughed like crazy.
When she crossed the bridge safely, Lin Yan got off her back, squatted aside and retched, raised her hand tremblingly: "I hate!"
"Lin Yan, look."
Even so, she raised her head.
The morning sun shines on the forest valleys in the mountains, the rushing river is under the feet, and the unknown mountains in the distance are still covered with thin snow.
Song Yuhang jumped onto the towering rocks, folded his hands into the shape of a trumpet, and shouted towards Chaoyang: "Lin Yan, I love you!"
The echo of "I love you" echoed in the valley and spread far away.
"Aren't you childish?" Lin Yan shook her head and complained, but the corners of her lips curled up.
Xiaowei also let go of her mother's hand, imitating her and shouting: "Mom, I love you!"
Maybe it was infected by this situation.
Ji Jingxing's expression was also a little excited, and he shouted at the canyon: "Xiaowei, mom loves you too!"
"Also, I'm getting married!"
After the round was over, Mother Song would forget it. After all, at that age, such childish things were indeed impossible.
Several people turned their attention to Lin Yan who was the only one who didn't speak.
Lin Yan looked at the magnificence of the rising sun and swallowing mountains and rivers, and blurted it out without a word.
"My name is Lin Yan, go to the fucking darkness, I want the world!"
After that, the group went to many scenic spots, including Granville Island, University of British Columbia, Canada Place, Queen Elizabeth Park...
A week later, I rented a car and drove from Vancouver to Banff, passing through the majestic Rocky Mountains, from colorful autumn leaves to forests, snow-capped mountains, glaciers and waterfalls.
After arriving in Banff Town for a short rest, they will transfer from the nearby Calgary International Airport to Saipan for their lawn wedding and island tour.
***
a week later.
Saipan.
"Come on, look here."
Song and Lin stood together back to back. Song Yuhang was wearing a slim black suit with his hands in his pockets. He looked more and more tall and straight, heroic, looking at the camera slightly.
Lin Yan was wearing a white wedding dress with a bouquet of flowers in her hand, her hair was neatly coiled up, revealing her snow-white neck and thin collarbone, her body was slender where it should be slender, and where it should be plump, it was very eye-catching.
The photographer presses the shutter and freezes at this moment.
With the sound of clicking continuously.
Lin Yan sometimes pulls Song Yuhang's ears.
Song Yuhang gently picked her up and kissed her with a smile on his face.
Two people holding hands at the beach watching the sunset.
Lin Yan lifted the hem of her skirt and ran, then turned around and smiled sweetly.
Song Yuhang held a blooming firework in his hand and kissed her side face from behind.
The person who said he didn't want to wear a wedding dress finally put on a floor-length dress and hugged her horizontally.
Lin Yan snuggled into her arms, nodded slightly, his face flushed, and his smile was so sweet.
She hugged the person and turned around in a circle, the guests below applauded thunderously, and even Feng Jianguo was slightly moved.
Mother Song's eyes were wet with tears.
I don't know who took the lead and yelled, and the young men from the Municipal Public Security Bureau ran up in unison.
As soon as Song Yuhang put Lin Yan down, he was thrown into the sky by the swarming crowd.
Everyone's strings have been stretched for too long, and no one is going to stop this carnival.
Feng Jianguo picked up a glass of wine and paid respects to the far east, the person who had passed away and had no chance to participate in such a wedding.
Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, the photographer was sweating profusely: "Come here, let's take a group photo!"
The group of people huffed and dispersed again.
Song Yuhang fell down and squatted, and got up from the ground with a face full of helplessness.
I don't know who started it. One person put on a police uniform, and everyone changed into uniforms.
A group of young faces squatted in front, and the older ones stood behind, and Song Lin was squeezed in the middle.
Lin Yan was holding a bouquet in his hand, and was wearing summer uniforms. The light blue formal shirt had finally been buttoned up, and a tie was completely tied on.
Song Yuhang was wearing a spring and autumn uniform with a tight tie, and with a smile on his lips, he put his arms around her waist.
The photographer waited for everyone to stand up: "Everyone has—"
Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up like a conditioned reflex, and some people had already raised their hands to their temples.
He burst out laughing: "Look here, eggplant!"
Everyone followed him and shouted: "Eggplant!"
The camera recorded everyone's smiling face and it will become an eternal memorial.
After the wedding video was completed, it was time for the buffet dinner.
Lin Yan was talking to Fang Xin and the others when he suddenly looked up and saw a man in a suit standing at the end of the lawn.
She was all too familiar with the exaggerated red hair.
Lin Yan's expression changed, he put the wine glass into the waiter's hand, patted Fang Xin on the shoulder, signaled them to eat and drink well, and walked over quickly.
She pulled him to a secluded place: "Why are you here?"
Jing Zhe smiled, still carrying a backpack on her back: "I'm going back to Boston, let's say goodbye."
After Lin Yan's accident, there was no chance to see him again, and naturally he would not ask him to return the mechanical stick to Song Yuhang.
She just thought he was hiding, so who told him to do this
It was as if something flashed through my mind.
Lin Yan took two steps back, seemingly in disbelief: "You..."
Jing Zhe nodded, took off the backpack on her back, took out a USB flash drive from the outside pocket and handed it to her.
"Boss Lin asked me to give it to you."
Lin Yan looked at the dark USB drive and gritted his teeth: "Are you his?"
Up to now, Jing Zhe has nothing to hide.
"Yes."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?!" Lin Yan approached suddenly, lifted his collar, and roared in a low voice.
Jing Zhe gently brushed her hand away, separated the tightly clenched fist, put the U disk in it, and clenched it again.
"You won't, here are all the answers you want to know."
Jing Zhe took a few steps back and put on the peaked cap.
"Boss Lin said, wait until one day, the top master is dead and you have found your own home, and then I will give you this secret."
Lin Yan suddenly understood what he meant.
This is a belated farewell. At this time, it is time for Lin Youyuan to leave.
When she was young, she wanted to break free from this family and his shackles countless times, but she never felt such strong reluctance for a moment.
Even if she was unwilling, her father would not provide her with any shelter.
Now that the things have been delivered, it's time for Jing Zhe to leave.
He turned and left: "Miss, my mission is over, please take care of me in the days to come."
Lin Yan held the USB flash drive, her eyes blushed slightly: "Will we meet again?"
A smile appeared on the corners of Jing Zhe's lips: "Yes, the streets and alleys of Boston, the Cathedral of the Flowers in Florence, or a certain fishing boat in the Gulf Stream."
"As long as we are in the world, we will meet again in the end."
Lin Yan chewed his words, finally a smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and said as he watched his leaving back.
"Hey, if you don't do well, come back and be my bodyguard."
Jing Zhe waved her hands without looking back, jumped on a speedboat and disappeared into the blue sea.
***
"Try this, this is delicious."
Song Yuhang was talking with several colleagues when another group of waiters in western-style vests came over to serve the dishes.
The dishes prepared for the wedding were all carefully selected by Lin Yan. There are eight major cuisines from all over the world.
A few dishes were put down, obviously Cantonese cuisine was quite delicately arranged.
Song Yuhang was startled, and the lead waiter bowed slightly: "Please use it slowly."
The voice was slightly familiar.
Song Yuhang stared at his side face, as if something flashed in her mind, she put down her wine glass abruptly, and grabbed his shoulder: "Guo..."
Surrounded by crowds of people, feasting and feasting.
She was a little excited, endured and endured, and lowered her voice: "You are not dead?!"
Guo Xiaoguang stared at her face for a long time, then from head to toe, and finally recognized her real face through the heavy foundation and makeup.
Immediately, a touch of uncontrollable excitement overflowed his face: "Officer Song!"
Looking at the wedding venue again, she was still wearing red silk flowers on her chest, and she suddenly realized.
"congratulations!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Song Yuhang's lips, he looked around and motioned for him to follow.
"This way."
The two went up to the second floor of the hotel, stood by the railing and looked at the sea level. In the distance, there were a few whistles of ships passing by, and the lighthouse and the moon hung in the sky together.
Song Yuhang: "I always thought..."
Guo Xiaoguang smiled wryly: "After we parted from you, my mother and I were plotted against. At that time, I thought we were dead."
There was a trace of doubt in Song Yuhang's eyes.
She and Lin Yan always thought that Zhao Junfeng didn't want the Chu Nan case overturned, so all the insiders at that time had to be eliminated.
Guo Xiaoguang and his mother were just one of them. Otherwise, how could it be explained that even she and Lin Yan were attacked many times
So far, even if Zhao Junfeng is dead, she still can't forgive him, forgive him for these things.
Guo Xiaoguang continued: "But those people just locked us in the warehouse, served us delicious food and drinks, and after staying there for a day and a night, we were released."
He still feels grateful for that scene.
When the sun shines into the dilapidated warehouse, the dust also rushes in.
Guo Xiaoguang subconsciously raised his elbow to cover, and the sound of sonorous footsteps stopped in front of him.
The visitor stretched out his hand to him: "Guo Xiaoguang, get up, you can go."
He stood with the backlight, unable to see his face clearly.
Guo Xiaoguang was slightly stunned. Seeing that he was still getting up, the visitor took out a letter of introduction from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
"Take it and go to the nearest police station. The name Guo Xiaoguang can no longer be used. After changing the household registration, take your mother out of Binhai Province and don't come back."
When he regained his senses and chased him out, the person who came was already gone.
Guo Xiaoguang shook the nameplate on his chest, on which was written the name of the hotel where he worked, and underneath was his name and position.
He really changed his name, now he is Guo Yi.
"After my dad's incident happened, my mother went to the police station many times to ask for a name change for the convenience of my going to school, and she was prevaricated every time. Who knew it was so easy this time..."
When Song Yuhang heard this, his eyes were slightly red, and he turned around and leaned on the railing.
Guo Xiaoguang stopped: "Officer Song, what's wrong with you?"
Song Yuhang forced a smile: "It's okay, did the last person tell you his name?"
Guo Xiaoguang thought about it.
When he chased out of the factory area with the letter of introduction, he finally stopped him, and begged him to tell his name repeatedly so that he could repay him in the future.
A bunch of white hair was exposed under the visitor's peaked cap, and finally turned around slowly: "My surname is Zhao, so there is no need to repay, it is me... sorry for you."
The last half of the sentence he said was vague.
Guo Xiaoguang didn't hear clearly, and when he wanted to ask more questions, the old man had already opened the door of a car parked on the side of the road and got in.
The car drove away from him quickly, and he couldn't even remember the license plate number.
Guo Xiaoguang was still chattering, maybe it was because of the festive atmosphere, and also because seeing his savior, the man's face was full of joy and excitement.
"Thanks to the uncle surnamed Zhao, I was able to change my appearance, and even entered a big hotel as an apprentice with my skills."
"At that time, the head chef brought us over to cook. He said it was a wedding banquet. I didn't look carefully. I didn't expect it to be you and..."
"No matter what, congratulations, lovers finally get married!"
"Thanks to you and Forensic Doctor Lin, my dad was able to be rehabilitated. We all read the news. At that time, my mother threw her crutches and walked two steps excitedly. She also said that if she could see the two of you again, she would definitely give her a helping hand." You kowtow."
He knew that the two of them were not short of money, and Lin Yan had once subsidized them. Guo Xiaoguang licked his lips excitedly looking at the festive and peaceful atmosphere around them.
"In this way, I will go to the back kitchen to cook a few specialty dishes later. It doesn't cost any money. It's all my heart, and I will give it to you to try."
Song Yuhang leaned his elbows on the railing, his shoulders shook violently, and tears streamed down his face silently.
Guo Xiaoguang finally noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong with you?"
Song Yuhang waved his hands again and again, choking with sobs: "No, nothing, I'm just... happy."
Guo Xiaoguang finally came back with a sense of bewilderment: "Do you know that uncle surnamed Zhao?"
Song Yuhang shook his head: "I don't know."
Guo Xiaoguang's eyes were a little sad: "He is really a good man, I still think that one day I will be able to repay his kindness face to face."
Song Yuhang smiled, noncommittal.
She didn't tell him until the end of that night, who was wronged and imprisoned for his father.
It's not that I can't, but I can't bear it.
There are too many cruel things in this world, let him keep the last piece of pure land in his heart.
If time can go back, Song Yuhang also hopes that Zhao Junfeng will always be that Zhao Junfeng, who is also a teacher, friend and father-like existence in her heart, and is also a good person in Guo Xiaoguang's eyes.
It's a pity that the time has passed, and he will have to pay the price for what he did after all. Otherwise, how can he comfort the dead, how can he comfort the lonely soul, how can he comfort the madman, and how can he comfort those who still choose to survive despite the pain in their hearts? .
After Guo Xiaoguang left, Song Yuhang stood by the railing for a long time with the sea breeze blowing.
Until someone patted her on the shoulder and handed her a glass of wine.
Feng Jianguo was still wearing the clothes he wore when he took the photo, and Song Yuhang noticed that his silver olive branch was wrapped around the national emblem for half a circle on his epaulettes, and he already had the title of Deputy Chief Superintendent.
She raised the champagne glass and touched it with someone: "Congratulations."
Feng Jianguo smiled, and also leaned on the railing: "Where did the joy come from? I just went to clean up the mess. If I have that time, I might as well go back and spend more time with my granddaughter."
Song Yuhang also laughed, his eyes still red: "I know you, you say you don't want to, but you will still do your part, you deserve this position, and the public security officers and ordinary people below can rest assured .”
Feng Jianguo sneered, the wine in the glass was not touched at all, just holding it.
"Talking about a relationship will make you glib."
Only then did Song Yuhang smile slightly, took a sip of foreign wine, leaned on the railing and let the sea breeze mess up her hair.
Feng Jianguo turned around and looked at her: "It's been almost a year, how long do you want to be unemployed?"
Song Yuhang smiled, turned around and lay down on the railing, looking at the brightly lit city on the opposite coastline in the distance and didn't answer.
Feng Jianguo handed her the sealed document: "Give me an answer after you think about it."
Song Yuhang looked down, and there was an official seal on the place where the seal was wrapped around the document.
She couldn't be more familiar with it. This is the transfer letter from the provincial department.
Song Yuhang was slightly stunned: "Feng—"
Feng Jianguo paused: "I don't know what you think, whether you want to continue to work, or give up this career to live the life of ordinary people, but I think we police are people who walk in the dark. Like fireflies in the sky, lights standing by the roadside."
"The more such people there are, the sparks will converge into a galaxy, and the light will eventually dispel the darkness. What do you think?"
Song Yuhang squeezed the transfer letter tightly, nodded slightly: "Thank you, I will consider it carefully."
A smile appeared on the corner of Feng Jianguo's lips, and he walked away quickly.
"Okay, on the day of great joy, go and accompany your daughter-in-law."
