monologue

As an "experienced person", Xi Rui understood the thoughts of young people like them. Chu Mianzhi followed Chu Xingmu with two dishes and asked, "What is too sweet?"

Chu Xingmu took the dish from Chu Mianzhi's hand and said, "Braised pork, my mother likes salty ones, and Wen Ti likes sweet ones."

Wen Ti stood up and said, "Thanks to Uncle, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious dishes."

Chu Mianzhi took off her apron and asked Chu Xingmu to go to the kitchen to bring out the rest of the dishes, and said to Wen Ti: "Xingmu said that your body is weak, and the roots of your illnesses in childhood may last forever. You should pay more attention to it. Young people, don't take your body seriously."

Wen Ti was flattered and said, "Thank you uncle."

Chu Mianzhi asked again: "Can Xiaowen drink alcohol?"

Wen Ti glanced at Chu Xingmu, but Chu Xingmu was busy serving soup and didn't see his eyes, so Wen Ti nodded and replied, "How many cups can I have?"

Xi Rui asked Wen Ti to sit down, and after a while Chu Mianzhi returned to the dining table with two small beer glasses and a bottle of Zhijiang Daqu. Mian Zhi and Xi Rui poured drinks.

Chu Xingmu came out with soup, and looked in surprise at the three beer glasses on the dining table, thinking that his father must have taken such a big wine glass to test Wen Ti's drinking capacity. In front of Zhijiang Daqu, Chu Xingmu kept It's two cups, so Zhou Jinlin can drink with him.

Chu Xingmu said: "Old Comrade Chu, take it easy, Wen Ti is really a few cups."

Wen Ti smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as uncle enjoys himself, my alcohol capacity is actually not bad."

As a result, Wen Ti, who thought he could drink enough, fell unconscious after four cups. Xi Rui blamed Chu Mianzhi for being too serious, and Chu Mianzhi beamed with joy: "In the future, someone will drink with my old man."

"It's up to me to drink with you. Wen Ti has to go to school in the future, but I can't stand you drinking like this."

Chu Xingmu put his arms around his waist and helped Wen Ti into the bedroom to help him undress, and found the clean pajamas he had worn before to put on for him. Wen Ti closed her eyes and said, "Uncle won't be angry when I'm drunk, right?"

Chu Xingmu pulled back the quilt and said, "It's too late for him to be happy, how could he be angry?"

Wen Ti whispered, "Uncle is not the same as my father at all."

Chu Xingmu asked him: "What's the difference?"

"My father never cared about me, he never even told me who my mother was."

Chu Xingmu kissed his face and said: "In the future, you can treat this place as your own home. My parents like you very much, and we all want to treat you well."

The next day, Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti went shopping with his parents for a day. Whatever Xi Rui and Chu Mianzhi wanted but were reluctant to buy, Wen Ti bought them privately and had them delivered to their homes. For example, a few months ago, I bought a woodcut because of Chu Xingmu's words.

Because of this, Xi Rui talked to Chu Xingmu. She felt that there was some unspeakable relationship between Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti. Chu Xingmu could only explain Wen Ti's occupation dumbfoundingly. He is a member of the Wen Group. General manager, as for the criminal psychiatric research team, he is just a part-time job, and he is Wen Xiangqin's younger brother.

Xi Rui of the Wen Group doesn't usually pay much attention, but when he mentioned Wen Xiangqin, Xirui immediately remembered that Wen Xiangqin and Xia Ci went to their house with Chu Xingmu during the years when Chu Xingmu was in the police academy. The relationship between the three of them is very good. Xi Rui's impression of Wen Xiangqin is still in the police academy, and he was more happy than surprised when he knew that Wen Ti was Wen Xiangqin's younger brother.

Knowing the relationship between Wen Ti and Wen Xiangqin, Xi Rui went to the Internet to check it out. Relying on the ambiguous information on the Internet and personal speculation, she guessed a lot about the Wen Group and the Wen Family. I found Wen Ti and asked him to return all the things that could be refunded. They had already received his wishes, so there was no need to spend so much money. Wen Ti learned how to spend money in a low-key manner.

On the second day of the vacation, Chu Xingmu took Wen Ti to dinner with his former police school classmates, because he would not have time to go back to normal work after the year, and he and Wen Ti went to the school he had studied before. Arriving at the police academy was a fulfillment of Wen Ti's day-study dream.

Chu Xingmu asked Wen Ti if he still had any thoughts on studying. Wen Ti always looked envious when he mentioned the past of the school, but Wen Ti said that he would look at it later.

During the two days of Chu Xingmu's vacation, the criminal investigation team took another case. Xia Ci and other team members quickly solved the case within two days, which saved Chu Xingmu a lot of effort. Chu Xingmu's rare two-day vacation ended, and then Wen Ti was also in the year-end work of the criminal investigation team. Wen Ti was in the company almost every day. The two of them had hardly been separated since they were together. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, they couldn't even see each other during the day, and one got off work later at night than the other.

After that night, Wen Xiangqin's attitude towards Wen Ti eased. Not only that, Wen Ti seemed to have gained the "real power" of the Wen Group's senior management overnight, and even some projects that Wen Ti didn't need to express her opinion at all. They all started asking for his opinion.

Wen Ti held more meetings during this period than the two years he first joined the company combined. He always felt that Wen Xiangqin was planning something, but Wen Ti was used to watching from the other side, as long as Wen Xiangqin didn't take the initiative to seek him He didn't intend to expose Wen Xiangqin's intentions.

A whole week passed, Chu Daha lost a few pounds because no one cared about feeding him, and Chu Xingmu finally realized why he always said that it was difficult for the police to find a partner. Come home later than him.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Xingmu arrived at the bureau early in the morning. Several people outside the gate of the Public Security Bureau approached and saw that they were hanging lanterns. There are more meat products such as bacon and smoked sausage, which is exactly what they want, so they distributed it to the team before the holiday.

After two days of leisure and busyness, on the [-]th day of the new year, everyone else was on holiday. Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci were still waiting for a meeting in the Public Security Bureau to arrange work for the next year. Because of the annual holiday, it became deserted and empty. After the meeting, Chu Xingmu asked Xia Ci: "You come to my house to celebrate the New Year. This year it will be more lively with Wen Ti."

Xia Ci shook his head again and again: "You want me to see you show your affection? I won't go."

"Am I like that?"

"You really are." Xia Ci left Chu Xingmu to catch the bus, let him be the first light bulb of the new year, there is no way.

Chu Xingmu shouted from behind: "Don't forget to come back early in the second day of junior high school!"

Seeing Xia Ci get on the bus and leave, Chu Xingmu called Wen Ti and asked him what time he got off work in the evening, and whether he would go home at [-]. If he was alone, he would spend the new year with him, Wen Ti took the time to say Might be late after get off work.

On the way home, Chu Xingmu went to the vegetable market to do some shopping, and was going to cook a table of delicious dishes at home when Wen Ti went back. Although the new year's layout on the street was the same every year, new changes came to his home.

Chu Xingmu ran up and down the stairs several times, throwing away garbage and shopping, and cleaned up and down the house, not letting go of any corners. Chu Daha also ran out and in with Chu Xingmu very excitedly.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Chu Xingmu heard someone knocking on the door, he had already given Wen Ti the key to his house, and when he came back, he would open the door and come in by himself, Chu Xingmu even regretted coming to his house for the New Year in Xia Ci , and when he opened the door, Chu Xingmu was stunned by a brightly colored bouquet.

Wen Ti stood at the door, holding a large bouquet of roses in her hands, with shiny snowflakes on her hair, she smiled and handed the flowers to Chu Xingmu, and said, "Captain Chu, Happy New Year."

Chu Xingmu took the bouquet and pulled Wen Ti in. Wen Ti was still thinking whether the roses were not romantic enough or Chu Xingmu was in a bad mood. He blocked the door and kissed him impatiently.

Changqing University has been on winter vacation for a while. Zhong Changxin’s parents are not in China. During the Chinese New Year, Zhong Changxin was either working or studying. It doesn’t matter to him if the New Year is not over. He heard the intermittent sound of firecrackers in the university town, and he was the only one in the office of the research team.

Zhong Changxin sent the last information to the professors in the research group, then got up and closed the blinds on the windows, turned off the lights in the office and the power of other electronic devices, and was about to leave, even though he had nothing special about the New Year However, it is unavoidable to feel a little disappointed during this kind of family reunion. With this strange feeling of disappointment, Zhong Changxin locked the door of the research team's office and came out of the research building.

He also had a few patrolling security guards on campus who were about to go home, and exchanged "Happy New Year" with them. Zhong Changxin felt that he seemed to be missing something this year, and his parents called him specifically to let him know. He went back to spend the New Year with his grandma this year.

After leaving the school gate, Zhong Changxin was debating whether to call the driver, but after tossing and turning, the driver who popped up in his mind was Wen Xiangqin. At this time, Wen Xiangqin should still be entertaining, Zhong Changxin thought it was better not to disturb him.

There are many bus stops near Changqing University, but none of them can reach his grandma's house. As soon as Zhong Changxin gave up the idea of ​​calling Wen Xiangqin, Wen Xiangqin called.

After waiting at the bus stop for a few minutes, Zhong Changxin saw the familiar Bentley approaching, but he sat motionless on the bench under the bus stop sign. Wen Xiangqin got off the bus with a cup of hot coffee and walked to Zhong Changxin In front of him, Zhong Changxin was accidentally bitten by a stray dog ​​like that time, but he didn't have any friends, so he had to call Wen Xiangqin to come out.

Wen asked Qin, "What are you doing in the office when there is no one in the school?"

Zhong Changxin took the hot coffee and warmed up his somewhat stiff hands, exhaled and said, "Everyone else is on vacation, but my work is not over yet."

"What's the plan for tonight?"

Zhong Changxin said: "Accompany my grandma to celebrate the New Year."

Wen Xiangqin was slightly surprised. He had been listening to Zhong Changxin talking about his grandfather Zhongminglou. He never knew that his grandma was in Qingshi. Since Zhongminglou had taken care of Wen Ti for several years, Wen Ti should also know about Zhongminglou. His wife has been in Qingshi all the time, and she has never heard Ti mention this matter for so many years.

Wen Xiangqin thought for a few seconds, and immediately decided to go with Zhong Changxin, "Wen Ti is not here this year, and I am the only one at home."

"Wen Ti doesn't celebrate the New Year with you every year?"

"I'll take you there and visit your grandma by the way."

Zhong Changxin didn't mind taking him to his grandma's house, so he took a friend home, and when he got in the car, Zhong Changxin suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Qin Feifei two days ago, and he asked Qin directly: " Do you like me?"

Wen Xiangqin turned his head and glanced at him, feeling that his question was a bit insulting to IQ. Although he didn't say it clearly, he didn't believe that Zhong Changxin only noticed it today, so Zhong Changxin went on to say: " I am boring and uninteresting, and to ordinary people, my personality is rigid and dull, and my daily life is not only work, but also work, and feelings are a burden to me."

Wen Xiangqin's confession that he had prepared for a day began to waver after listening to his words, but Zhong Changxin said again: "It is very tiring to follow in the footsteps of my grandpa, but he has my grandma's support, and I also hope to have the support of my grandpa." Personally support me so much.”

Wen Xiangqin didn't want Zhong Changxin's surprise words to disturb his plan, so he parked the car on the side of the road and dispelled Zhong Changxin's worries with practical actions.

"Do you think I've been joking with you these past few months?" Wen Xiangqin asked him with a rare smile, "I don't know how Dr. Zhong views homosexuality, especially how he views my relationship with you?"

Zhong Changxin took off his glasses, looked at Wen Xiangqin, and said, "Just like now."

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Changxin grabbed Wen Xiangqin's tie and took the initiative to kiss Wen Xiangqin's lips when Wen Xiangqin didn't expect it. This time it was really beyond Wen Xiangqin's expectation. The most satisfying New Year gift I have ever received.

Xia Ci bought a roast duck at a roast duck restaurant. In previous years, he would go to Chu Xingmu’s house for the Chinese New Year, or they would spend the Chinese New Year in the office directly after taking overtime on some cases in the team. This year was an exception. The case had a deep impact on him, so he decided to worship his parents. He was never so eager to get out of his parents' tragic marriage.

After shopping, Xia Ci was going to take a walk home. Anyway, his house was deserted and there was no need to rush home. After walking a few steps, someone called him. Xia Ci answered the phone and said, "Happy New Year, the vice captain is on vacation today , find Lao Chu for work matters."

Lang Lang asked him on the other end of the phone: "Are you still outside?"

"Go out and buy something to eat, you have to celebrate the New Year alone, right?"

Lang Lang didn't know who he was talking to. Xia Ci waited for them to finish talking before hearing Lang Lang's voice again, "Just now my dad asked me if the deputy captain would like to come to our house for a New Year's Eve dinner."

Xia Ci: "Isn't it appropriate for me to go at this time? Just in case you want to bring your boyfriend home or something."

Lang Lang: "Then don't come."

"Remember to pick me up downstairs, I don't know your house number."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Ci happily took the roast duck and turned around to buy New Year's gifts, then took a taxi to Lang Lang's house.

"Is Deputy Xia alone at home this year?" Wen Ti walked into the kitchen with her mobile phone and asked, and he sent Xia Ci a New Year text message.

Chu Xingmu turned to get food from the refrigerator, and said, "He was afraid of disturbing us, and he is probably going to Lang Lang's house right now."

Wen Ti leaned against the door of the kitchen and sent a Happy New Year to every contact in his address book, including the deceased Su Ai, and Chu Xingmu's phone calls and text messages were never interrupted, because Wen Ti couldn't afford to cut vegetables. Just help him hold the mobile phone, move a stool and sit aside and listen to him and other people exchanging greetings.

Wen Xiangqin sent Wen Ti a "Happy New Year" in a rare way. Wen Ti stared at the phone screen for a few seconds, and reluctantly replied "Thank you", even if Wen Xiangqin wanted to make up for his mother's harm to Wen Ti , but there is no way to make up for their alienated and unfamiliar family relationship in the short term.

Wen Ti looked up at Chu Xingmu and said, "How did you manage to make Wen Xiangqin apologize to me?"

Chu Xingmu said: "You were sent to a mental hospital by his mother, and you haven't explained it to him for so many years."

"It's not necessary, and he may not believe me if I tell you."

"That's why I let him meet Lin Shen and let Lin Shen tell him how you were sent to that place back then. No matter how much Wen Xiangqin doesn't like you, he won't be right or wrong."

Chu Xingmu handed the cut fruit plate to Wen Ti, then opened the wine cabinet and took a bottle of red wine from it, Wen Ti asked, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Chu Xingmu looked at Wen Ti's eyes and kissed him on the face, and said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me, happy new year."

Wen Ti stuffed an apple into Chu Xingmu's mouth, and went out with a fruit plate in her red ears. Chu Xingmu was happy for no reason. distance.
