"Hi, send it here for me." Lin Yan took out a courier slip from the counter and imitated Wei Lihong's handwriting, filled it out and handed it to the teller.
Song Yuhang handed over the packed things to be weighed.
"Miss, the total is forty-eight yuan. Is it sent to the post office in Wuli Town?"
Lin Yan nodded to confirm, watched the other party give her the receipt, and then left with Song Yuhang.
The sky was already dark, the lights had just come on, the road was full of traffic, Song Yuhang took her hand and stuffed it into his pocket to keep warm, the words the two said turned into a cloud of white mist and quickly dissipated in the air.
"I asked Wei Lihong. It turns out that the winter quilts and clothes sent to Aunt Yu every year were not sent by her."
"Yeah, once Li Yang died, Yu Jing also died, Wei Lihong went to jail, only Aunt Yu didn't know anything, she always thought that Wei Lihong was a good woman, took her children to the city to live a good life, and often Helping her and sending her things, but I didn't expect that from the beginning to the end, there is only one murderer who misses her."
Lin Yan sighed a little, not knowing how to evaluate Li Yang for a moment, she took out the cigarette holder from her bag with one hand, pressed on the lighter with a snap, and was snatched away before taking two puffs. I don't dislike myself.
Lin Yan let out a "tsk" and rolled his eyes. When he was about to touch another one to get it out, someone confiscated it.
The two were waiting for the traffic light beside the zebra crossing. Song Yuhang hugged her from behind. She was long-armed and long-legged. The wide motorcycle suit just wrapped her in. With a cigarette in his mouth, he looked a little unrestrained and unrestrained, and spit out the smoke ring. to one side.
"The doctor said, you are most afraid of lung infection in this disease, so smoke less."
Lin Yan struggled, the red light was still ahead, Song Yuhang dragged him back a few more steps.
"If I want to smoke, I just say it. I don't know who it is. I used to keep saying that I don't smoke women's cigarettes."
Song Yuhang smiled, put out the cigarette butt on the trash can next to her, and threw it in, exhaling a refreshing mint breath in her ears.
"I like it now, it smells like you."
"..."
This rustic love story is still a set.
Thinking of those ambiguous and sticky moments on the bed last night, Lin Yan blushed and threw the satchel away.
"Shut up you."
Song Yuhang hid, seeing that the green light was about to turn red again, he hurriedly dragged her across the road.
"It can be regarded as the end. This client has really asked too much."
A few men and women in suits came out of the opposite law firm, Ji Jingxing stopped and looked at the two people frolicking on the side of the road.
The colleague poked her arm: "Sister Ji, sister Ji, are you still leaving? What are you looking at?"
Ji Jingxing came back to his senses and forced a smile: "It's okay, I didn't see anything, you go first, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to take."
"Okay, see you again, Miss Ji."
Several colleagues waved her goodbye.
Ji Jingxing smiled: "Goodbye, be careful on the road."
After everyone left, Ji Jing walked to a secluded place to make a phone call.
"Hello? Yuhang?"
Seeing the name lit up on the phone screen, Song Yuhang subconsciously frowned and wanted to hang up.
But Lin Yan stopped and looked at her thoughtfully, Song Yuhang had no choice but to pick it up.
The voice was businesslike and cold.
"What's up?"
"I'm still in a meeting at the company." Ji Jingxing looked at his watch, lowered his voice and begged.
"It's estimated to be over at eleven or twelve o'clock. Can I trouble you to pick up Xiaowei first? I'm afraid she will be anxious if she stays in the cram school for too long. I'll see if it can end here sooner. If it's over, I'll go over to find you immediately." .”
Song Yuhang opened his mouth, seeing Lin Yan's expression, Lin Yan raised his eyebrows indifferently, walked to the side, and signaled her to take it easy.
"Okay, give me the address."
After the call was hung up, Song Yuhang put the phone in his pocket and went to find her.
"That, Lin Yan..."
Lin Yan took two steps forward, without turning back: "You go, I will take a taxi home by myself."
Song Yuhang chased after her and squeezed her hand into his own: "Let's go together."
After Ji Jingxing hung up the phone, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he walked into the nearby coffee shop, ordered a cup of latte and sat down, checked that the time was almost up, and then walked towards the cram school.
＊＊＊
"Hello, next season is the only one."
Song Yuhang knocked on the glass door of the cram school. In the hall, only Little One was left playing with toys. Hearing the familiar voice, he immediately put down the building blocks in his hand and ran over to hug her leg.
"aunt!"
Song Yuhang hugged him up: "Xiaowei, goodbye to the teacher."
"Goodbye, teacher."
The three went out together, Xiao Wei looked at Lin Yan curiously: "Auntie, why didn't my mother come with you?"
Song Yuhang smiled, put on her down jacket and hat, and pushed open the door of the mall.
"Your mother is still working, Xiao Wei, call her Auntie."
After leaving the shopping mall, Song Yuhang put Xiao Wei down, and the little girl carved in pink and jade took her hand, blinking her big eyes and looking at the beautiful aunt next to her aunt.
Lin Yan was a little uncomfortable being looked at by her, turned his face away, unexpectedly, his palm was pulled by a soft meat ball.
Xiao Wei shook her hand, and said in a childish voice, "Hello, Auntie, thank you for coming to pick me up with Auntie so late."
Cute crit.
Lin Yanru was struck by lightning. He originally wanted to be angry. After all, the date in his spare time was suddenly interrupted by someone. But when he saw this soft and cute little girl, he couldn't get angry anymore. The fingers were drawn from the child's palm.
"No... nothing."
Seeing her distress, Song Yuhang couldn't help laughing, took the child with one hand, and walked out with her in his arms.
"Xiao Wei, have you brought your house keys?"
Ji Weiyi shook his head: "No, aunt, today my mother said she would pick me up on time."
At the end of the speech, he hung his head a little frustrated.
Song Yuhang squatted down and arranged her scarf and clothes for her: "Mom is busy with work, Xiao Wei, be good."
She glanced behind Xiaowei, saw a McDonald's across the road, and stood up.
"I've been in class all afternoon, haven't I eaten yet? Auntie will take you to eat something, and then we'll wait for mom while we eat, okay?"
Only then did Xiao Wei smile again, and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
After finishing speaking, he took their hands from left to right and skipped across the road.
"Auntie, Auntie, I want to eat McDonald's, I want to eat cones, French fries, and burgers!"
"Okay, okay." Song Yuhang nodded one by one in response, went to line up to order, handed the order to Lin Yan, and gently squeezed her hand.
"Sit down first, we will leave when her mother comes."
Lin Yan looked at her with a sneering smile on his lips: "Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out?"
Song Yuhang took advantage of Xiaowei's bouncing on the edge of the counter, turned around and pinched her nose: "You can't."
Lin Yan dodged back, rolled his eyes, and pulled Xiao Wei away: "Don't move your hands and feet, pay attention to the influence in front of the child!"
Xiao Wei followed her up and down: "Auntie, what were you talking about with Auntie just now?"
"No, nothing, just sit here."
Song Yuhang looked at their backs, shook his head and smiled helplessly, and while waiting for the meal, she remembered Xiaowei's sentence "Mom said she would pick me up on time".
She understands Ji Jingxing just as Ji Jingxing understands her. Generally speaking, she is a very punctual person. First of all, she has a special job. If you are late for the ten o'clock court session, you are still late. Second, she is even worse for the children. Probably lied.
Song Yuhang frowned, took out his mobile phone and called the front desk of their law firm.
"Looking for Lawyer Ji?" The little girl at the front desk looked suspiciously at the empty office.
"It's been a while since I got off work."
"About when?"
The front desk looked at the watch: "It's been more than an hour."
"OK, thanks."
Song Yuhang hung up the phone, he couldn't understand what she wanted more and more.
"Miss, your cones are ready." The waiter handed over two cones. Song Yuhang came back to his senses and nodded his thanks. He walked to the seat and gave one to each of them.
"Xiao Wei, throw it away if you can't finish it, don't eat too much if it's cold."
Song Yuhang touched her head, then turned to Lin Yan and said, "You too."
Lin Yan snorted: "It's a waste of money, and I didn't say I wanted to eat it."
Song Yuhang smiled, put his hands on the table, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I'm afraid that if I don't buy it for you, someone will be jealous again."
Lin Yan gritted his teeth: "Why should I be jealous? Why should I be jealous with a child?"
While chatting and laughing, they called her restaurant number, and Song Yuhang got up to get a burger, but was dragged away again.
Lin Yan stretched out his arms: "Here, I'll give you the first bite."
Song Yuhang didn't refuse, leaned over and licked it, then pushed it back to her: "You eat."
Xiao Wei licked the ice cream, watched their series of actions, thoughtfully: "Auntie, my mother will also leave the first bite to me, she said, this is the expression of loving someone."
"Ahem..." Lin Yan choked on his own saliva.
I know a lot at a young age.
"Eat quickly, don't talk, and go home early after eating." Lin Yan pretended to be annoyed, and handed her the drink again.
Xiao Wei smiled, showing her big white teeth, her eyes were almost narrowed into slits, there is no distinction between good and evil in children, she just thinks that Lin Yanchang is good-looking, although he has a fierce mouth, he is still very kind to her of.
Being my aunt's friend again, I naturally have a sense of intimacy.
So he stared eagerly at the ice cream in Lin Yan's hand: "Auntie, I want to eat yours too."
Song Yuhang asked Xiao Wei to choose when he brought it over. Unexpectedly, the child was still eating what was in the bowl and looking at what was in the pot.
Lin Yan couldn't help laughing, and handed it over: "Okay, I'll give you this too."
Ji Jingxing pushed the door open, just in time to see Lin Yan handing the ice cream with a missing corner to Xiao Wei, suddenly an unknown fire rushed to his forehead, rushed over with one stride, snatched it from her hand and threw it on the on the ground.
"What to eat?! Can you eat unclean things?!"
Lin Yan's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly.
Xiao Wei also turned pale with fright, and grabbed her mother's hand: "Mom, Mom, I haven't eaten, don't be angry..."
The corner of Lin Yan's lips curled up into a sarcasm, and he glanced at her from head to toe, with that kind of disdainful and arrogant gaze.
With the child here, she didn't want to yell at others, or even fight.
Ji Jingxing was irritated by her eyes, and when he thought of Song Yuhang's promise to pick him up, but let this woman accompany the child, he was even more angry, aggrieved and angry.
"It's okay to eat cold food in such a cold day, and you still give the child what you have eaten. Are you disgusted? What about Yuhang, why are you accompanying Xiaowei..." Seeing the child trembling slightly in her arms Ji Jingxing hugged him even tighter.
"What do you want to do to Xiaowei? If it wasn't for... I arrived in time..." She glanced at the snacks and drinks on the table: "Who knows what's in it? Lin Yan, it's fine if you don't do anything, Don't get your mind on the kids!"
One mouthful of "disgusting" and one mouthful of "dirty", her voice was not too loud, causing everyone in the front, back, left and right to look over.
"A rival in love?"
"Little San and the main room?"
"Or ex-wife and stepmother robbing children?"
There was a whisper.
After she said such a long list, Lin Yan just buried his head and slightly curled the corners of his lips, and smiled a little coldly.
Her principle of doing things is to never move her mouth when she can solve things with her hands.
"You... what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing..." Lin Yan put his hand on the drink glass: "People who keep saying that others are disgusting and unclean, in fact, they are not clean at all."
It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, Lin Yan raised his hand viciously as soon as he finished speaking.
Ji Jingxing hugged the child and said "ah", and tightly closed his eyes.
"Lin Yan, stop!" A black figure rushed over, and the hamburgers on the tray were spilled all over the floor. Song Yuhang stood in front of them, was doused by Coke, and the tips of his hair were dripping wet hit the water.
Lin Yan pursed her lips, looked at her face, then at the mother and daughter behind her, picked up her bag from the seat, turned and left while stepping on her high heels.
Song Yuhang threw the tray and chased after him: "Lin Yan, Lin Yan, listen to me..."
Lin Yan turned around and looked at her miserable appearance, but she was so angry that she couldn't explain the reason and had nowhere to vent her anger.
She pushed her back: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You fucking shut up! Go with the mother and daughter!"
Song Yuhang still wanted to chase, but Lin Yan casually picked up the cup of coffee on the table that was chewing her tongue behind her back, and poured it over.
A burst of exclamation sounded.
Lin Yan threw the coffee cup on her body: "Get lost!"
After finishing speaking, the high heels slammed loudly, and he slammed the door straight away.
By the time Song Yuhang chased her out again, she had already boarded a taxi and drove out of her sight.
"Damn!" Song Yuhang wiped the coffee-cola mixture on his face, not knowing who he was scolding.
Ji Jingxing pulled the child and looked at her in fear: "Yuhang..."
Song Yuhang glanced over suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot.
Ji Jingxing took a step back, she walked over quickly, pulled Xiao Wei up and left, Ji Jingxing chased after her.
Her car was parked not far away.
Song Yuhang carried Xiaowei straight into the car, the child was so frightened that tears filled his eyes, Song Yuhang patted her head.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie has something to say to Mom, and you stay in the car for a while."
Xiao Wei nodded slightly with tears in her eyes: "Yes."
Song Yuhang closed the car door, and Ji Jingxing followed anxiously. Seeing that she had locked Xiaowei in the car, he raised his voice slightly and yelled at her.
"You... What are you going to do to Xiaowei? Is that woman that important?!"
Without saying a word, Song Yuhang tugged at her sleeve and walked away until he walked to a remote place, making sure Xiaowei was out of hearing before speaking.
"What can I do to her?! I'm her aunt! What can Lin Yan do to her?! Are you going to go up and criticize without saying a word?!"
"Isn't it disgusting enough that she gave Xiaowei what she ate? Who knows what will happen to her dirty woman..."
"Shut up!" Song Yuhang's eyes turned red, he interrupted her, lifted him up and pressed him against the wall.
"I had eaten that ice cream before, but Lin Yan didn't even take a bite! Why don't you ask Xiao Wei if she asked Lin Yan for it?! If Lin Yan doesn't give it to you, are you going to say that she is bullying the child again? !"
In Ji Jingxing's memory, Song Yuhang had never lost his temper with her. That night she took the initiative to hug her once, but even if he refused, Song Yuhang gently and firmly broke away her hand and pushed her away little by little. away, tell her:
"Except for Lin Yan, this person is no one."
Where is it like now, lifting her collar and roaring like a madman.
Ji Jingxing's tears fell instantly, and he choked up: "I just want to protect my child, is there something wrong?"
Song Yuhang closed his eyes, tried to breathe calmly, let go of her, and took a step back.
"Is there something wrong with Lin Yan? Let you scold her with disgusting words and unclean words?! If you really have the consciousness of being a mother, what mother would face another woman in front of her own child?" Endless abuse, insult to personality!"
"Which mother would abandon her child and make her wait in the cold wind for more than an hour, just to use her to meet the person she wants to see!"
Song Yuhang's words were pearls of pearls, but he felt a fire in his chest, and he couldn't vomit.
"Yes, you didn't remarry after my brother left, and you raised Xiao Wei alone. You are single-minded, you are amazing! But she just chose another way of life that is completely different from you. When she was single, who would she like to associate with? Whoever goes to bed is her freedom! Standing on the moral high ground and wantonly dictating other people's lifestyles is really disgusting!"
After Song Yuhang finished speaking in one breath, seeing Ji Jingxing's face turning blue and white, watching her burst into tears, watching her kneel down and cry, he felt uncomfortable.
She still feels sorry for Lin Yan, because of the bipolar disorder, the side effects of the medicines she takes, and she has to choose a special way of life, but no one knows the story behind her, and all these have become the world's criticism of her reason.
Even more chilled by what Ji Jingxing did.
How... how did it become like this
Obviously many years ago, she was also a gentle and kind girl. Song Yuhang called her "sister-in-law", and after his brother passed away, he called her "sister". He regarded her as a family and took care of her during confinement. Help her take care of Xiaowei, work hard, even Ji's family is her safe haven when she is sad.
Standing on the street on a winter night at the end of December, Song Yuhang desperately wanted to go back to that spring night.
Everything hasn't started yet.
Ji Jingxing will not turn into the current appearance of a resentful woman.
Song Yuhang didn't want to look any more, so he turned his head and left.
Ji Jingxing chased after her for two steps, and her voice was biting her teeth, "Yes, I'm just envious, I'm just jealous of her, all my words are intentional, I just want to humiliate her, why are you accompanying me?" I have been with Xiaowei for so many years, but she came out halfway and took away all your care and love!"
Song Yuhang stopped and didn't turn his head. Seeing her stop, Ji Jingxing sniffed, caught up with her, and grabbed her by the corner of her clothes.
"Yuhang, look back at me and look at me carefully. I am not as young as her, but I can take care of others, and Xiaowei... Xiaowei can also be your child... Your brother is gone... We are a family Three mouths, we can still be like before... "
Song Yuhang clenched his fists tightly, and with a bang, each word came out from between his lips and teeth: "You, don't, mention, me, brother."
Ji Jingxing was startled suddenly, he was already thrown away, and the two of them looked at each other coldly through the night.
Song Yuhang had already calmed down, it was more terrifying than when she got angry, Ji Jingxing felt the despair from her body.
She was completely desperate for herself.
Ji Jingxing took two steps back in disbelief.
Song Yuhang said: "Do you know why I blocked that blow for you just now? It's just because of Xiaowei, no matter what the parents do, the child is innocent. The same thing happened in the past. I helped you take care of you just because You are my brother's widow and Xiaowei's mother, without this identity, you are nothing."
"But you take advantage of the child and use the child as a shield. It's unbearable. I won't help you next time. Don't mention my brother anymore. You don't deserve it."
She looked at her with a trace of compassion in her eyes: "Also, I advise you not to provoke Lin Yan again, otherwise you won't know how you died, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Ji Jingxing dug his nails deep into his flesh, gritted his teeth, and looked at her with tears streaming down his face: "I admit, I didn't think carefully about today's matter, I didn't expect her to be with you, but, Yuhang, I'm still your sister-in-law Ah, you... are you going to be so unfeeling and completely break away from me?"
"It's you who wants to get rid of the relationship. Since you mentioned the relationship, I have to reiterate that Lin Yan is my girlfriend, future wife, and the person who will be with me for the rest of my life. The relationship between me and you, and Xiaowei , no matter how close you are, you can’t surpass this.”
After Song Yuhang finished speaking lightly, he never looked back, let her cry behind him, and walked straight into the car.
Seeing her carrying the child out of the car, Ji Jingxing wiped away his tears, ran over, and hugged Xiao Wei in his arms.
Xiao Wei wiped her tears for her: "Mom, why are you crying?"
Ji Jingxing smiled with tears in his eyes, held her hand and kissed her: "Mom is fine."
Song Yuhang got up: "I'll call a car for you, go back by yourself."
Xiao Wei timidly looked up from her mother's arms: "Auntie, aren't you going to see us off?"
Only then did Song Yuhang show a smile again: "No, my aunt has something else to do, so I'll leave first, see you another day."
Xiao Wei waved to her through the car window: "Goodbye, aunt."
＊＊＊
Song Yuhang drove to Lin Yan's house while calling her, but no one answered the first call, and the phone was completely shut down the second time.
Song Yuhang threw the phone on the co-pilot, and cursed secretly, "What's the matter tonight!" He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated the speed of the car.
As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the villa, before Song Yuhang could get out of the car, his cell phone rang.
She hurriedly touched the floor mat under the passenger seat: "Lin..."
"Captain Song, it's me. The burglar wanted a few days ago has been arrested and is under interrogation."
Song Yuhang rubbed his eyebrows: "Have you recruited?"
"No, why don't you ask me?"
She glanced at the lights of the villa, gritted her teeth, reversed the car, and turned the steering wheel.
"Got it, I'll be there soon."
Lin Yan watched her come and go through the curtains, and suddenly became furious, closed the curtains with a slam, threw himself on the bed, and yelled at the ceiling.
"Song Yuhang, I'm fucking your mother!!!"
＊＊＊
The music outside the KTV box was deafening, but it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop inside the box.
The man picked up the cigarette from the table and clicked on the lighter, the flame flashed by and the smoke was lingering.
He took a deep breath slightly intoxicated.
Seeing him like this, the man kneeling in front of him made a begging look on his face, kowtowed deeply, and clasped his palms together.
One mouth is crying.
"I beg you, please help me. The police have already found me. If I hadn't been home these days, I would have been arrested. Who knows, who knows..."
His voice suddenly became sharp: "She actually committed suicide! The 'Moby Dick' case is involved again, and the police will not let me go! Also, and..."
He walked over on his knees again and hugged the man's leg.
"My family... My family is also bankrupt... Is that..." He glanced at the man's face and swallowed.
"Lin... Lin Yan did it, I... I really have nowhere to go now, the whole city is looking for me, I really have nowhere to go, bro!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed desperately, leaving bruises on his forehead.
The man didn't care. After smoking a cigarette, he lit the tin foil and smelled it until there was a bloodstain on the ground.
The person kneeling on the ground is crumbling.
The man stepped on his head with his foot, and then he said, "Go back."
The man with a small braid on the back of his head was overjoyed: "Brother, brother, are you willing to help me?!"
The man let go of him and leaned on the sofa: "Go away, someone will take you out."
"Hey, okay, okay, thank you, thank you brother." He said, got up from the ground, dressed in rags, looked at the exquisite fruit plate in front of him, reached out and took an apple and smiled.
"I haven't eaten for three days."
The man frowned in disgust: "Get lost."
The braided man backed away with a nod and bowed his head. The last thing he saw was him leaning on the sofa, with blue smoke billowing up in front of him, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
The man swallowed, damn it, this looks like a good thing.
"Follow me." Someone came from the darkness.
Only then did the man come to his senses: "Okay, okay, brother, where are we going?"
A strange smile appeared on the lips of the man in black who was walking in front: "You'll know when you go."
