If love could come back
58 · Can't let go
"Take it in the morning, and your whole body will be relaxed!"
The toilet door was opened, the Xu family's second brother was humming a song, while pulling up his trousers, he walked towards the dining table casually, only to see his younger sister was already neatly dressed and sitting at the table... Uh, facing fried noodles and plain porridge daze?
Xu Guoliang, who was in a good mood, smiled and decided to play a prank.
He tiptoed to his younger sister, leaned down and shouted in her ear with a super loud voice while not forgetting to breathe: "Sister Sharp, good morning!"
Then he ran to his seat and sat down contentedly, waiting to be protested with a hippie smile on his face.Unexpectedly, instead of being frightened by him, Xu Xiaoli regained her composure for a moment and then quickly returned to normal, and even smiled.
"Second brother, morning."
Xu Guoliang was a little dumbfounded and a little maladjusted.
After a while, he leaned close to his sister, half-closed his eyes for fear of not being able to see clearly, the two eyeballs slid back and forth on her face, and then stretched out one hand to pat her with too much force. forehead.
She was patted and leaned back, and couldn't help frowning, "Second brother!"
At this time, another hand was stretched out from the side and slapped Xu Guoliang's hand. The second brother of the Xu family shrank his hand in pain, turned his head to look, and immediately yelled: "Mom, why are you beating me?" !"
"I just want to ask you why you bullied your sister early in the morning." Xu's mother glanced at her second son and put the bowl and chopsticks in front of him.
"I care about her! Sister Xili has a fever or something? It doesn't look normal!"
Xu Guoliang turned his head and yelled at his mother, and he didn't forget to put a finger in front of his sister's nose to prove his innocence.
"Look at how serious her dark circles are. I don't think no matter how much powder is applied, it can't be covered! And this face is so clear that she hasn't slept for days and nights. If the fruits in my store can't be sold, they will change. so emaciated."
Meaning, is she rotten fruit?
Xu Xiaoli glared angrily at her second brother, who was always outspoken, and stretched out her hand to push the finger away, while Xu's mother simply knocked him on the forehead again.
"Hurry up and eat your breakfast. Didn't you say that you are going to deliver to a new customer today? You have to deliver the goods to the customer on time to leave a good impression. They will buy fruit from you next time."
"I know, I know!" Xu Guoliang was afraid that his ears would get callused, so he stuffed a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, and ran to the door to put on his shoes as if escaping, "Mom, I'm in a hurry, let's go! Don't wait for me tonight." Have a meal!"
With a bang, the entrance door was roughly shut.
Mother Xu shook her head and sat down with a sigh. She didn't start to eat breakfast until she finished arranging the children.
"Where's Dad?"
When it comes to her husband, Mother Xu feels more helpless.
"Your dad went off to the football field early in the morning. Seriously, he doesn't dare to admit his old age, thinking he's still good? He insists on comparing himself with others. I don't think I can give up if I don't win once. "
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoli smiled slightly, scooped up a spoonful of cotton silk-flavored white porridge and put it into her mouth.
Mother Xu raised her eyes and glanced at her.
As the saying goes: Knowing a daughter is like a mother.
She can see that her daughter is not normal these days, so she asks straight to the point: "What about you? Are you feeling uncomfortable or what's on your mind?"
Although her second son usually looks carefree and heartless and rude, he still cares about his only sister.Sharp Girl has indeed seemed a little depressed recently, even if she tried her best to hide it, she still couldn't hide it from her family members who have been together day and night for more than 20 years.
What's more, her daughter has never been good at deceiving people.
Xu Xiaoli was stunned for a while, then put down the spoon, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said softly with a reassuring smile, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine and I'm fine."
The smile on her face was serene and calm. Mother Xu looked at her for a long while, then reached out and covered the back of her daughter's hand and patted it lightly twice. She nodded her head reassuringly and said, "It's fine. Eat quickly, it won't be good if it gets cold." gone."
The mother's hands, which have worked for the family for most of her life, are full of traces of time, rough but conveying a strong warmth, and her heart is slightly sour.
"Ah."
Keeping her eyes on her daughter's drooping face and watching her eating breakfast, Mother Xu remained silent in the end.As a parent, one day you have to learn to let go and learn to respect your children's decisions. Only in this way will your children grow up.
That smile made her want to sigh, but this is growth.Today's sharp girl is much more restrained and sensible than before. She believes that her daughter can handle her own affairs well, including what a friend told her about what she saw with her own eyes.
My friend repeatedly assured her that she was absolutely free of vision and remembered very clearly, because she was going to collect the bill that day and happened to pass by that famous gourmet restaurant, so she recognized Sharp Girl at a glance.If it weren't for the fact that the other party said it, she would really not believe it, and the person described by the friend with the sharp girl sounded very much like the university professor.
Maybe this can explain why her daughter is always happy but can't be happy, but she knows that since her daughter has made such a choice, she must have her own measure.
"Mom, I'm going to work."
Watching her daughter disappear behind the gate, Mother Xu still couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Back at the office, another busy day started.
Recently, there are several projects going on at the same time, and the people of PPRB are busy going to different departments to coordinate and communicate. The paperwork such as the proposal is enough to cause headaches.There are too many big and small things to deal with, and the manpower has been short for a long time, and now everyone is so busy.
After finally having time to take a break, Amy quickly dragged Xu Xiaoli to the restaurant of the police station.
"I'm so hungry that my legs are weak. I've been busy since the morning until now. You know what? I only ate a small sandwich. If I don't replenish my energy, I will definitely pass out!" Afterwards, Amy turned to the counter again. "Please give me a cup of milk tea to cushion my stomach first."
"I still have to contact those big groups in the afternoon. Yesterday either I said I didn't have time to talk or I wasn't here." Amy stood in front of the ordering counter, took a sip of the milk tea given by the clerk, and continued to speak, "If they are all like Nuo It would be nice if Mann’s general manager is as easy-talking as possible.”
When Xu Xiaoli heard this, she almost laughed.
Ryan is easy to talk to?
Right.
He has been in a good mood recently, maybe good enough to allow this "easy to talk" state to last for a long time.
"Here's your meal."
The clerk brought out two trays, and Xu Xiaoli caught a glimpse of the full one next to her, and couldn't help being slightly surprised: "Are you sure you can eat so much?"
Amy held the heavy tray, and the two walked to an empty table for two not far away, and said naturally: "What are you afraid of? If I can't finish eating, you can help me eat together, anyway You only have one plate of pasta, we can't waste food, right?"
"Okay, if you eat enough, you have to be responsible." She shook her head amusedly.
"Don't worry, I will take responsibility for you."
Amy blinked playfully, and deliberately put her arms on Xu Xiaoli's shoulder boldly. Seeing that she finally showed her happy face, as a colleague and friend, she couldn't help it anymore, even if it was just nagging, it didn't matter.
"It's only when you're full that you have the strength to work. It seems that you can't get excited about anything other than work these days, as if you have no interest in anything. This is not okay. You won't go to Happy Hour, and—"
"Sharp girl?"
A familiar voice interrupted their conversation.
"Stupid?" Xu Xiaoli turned her head to look, "Why are you alone?"
"Hey, I won the lottery, and I will come down to buy lunch for everyone."
Seeing that their old colleagues met by chance, Amy decided to take a seat first. She nodded to Ah Ben and said, "You guys talk first, I'll take a seat." After speaking, she walked away.
"It seems that you are very busy recently, so busy that you don't even have time for lunch."
"Isn't it because of that Sister Feng killer? That guy is simply a pervert. We're catching every clue right now. The sooner we catch him, we make an appointment. Don't talk about lunch, there's no time to sleep!" Ah Ben endured. Can't help complaining.
This is a case that caused a sensation in the whole city.The murderer specifically selected sex workers to start the crime, and the method of committing the crime was even more heinous. Four women have been killed one after another.If the murderer cannot be caught, there may be a fifth or even a sixth victim.
"No clues?"
"That guy is very cunning. Oh, I won't tell you, I'll go and see if the food I ordered is ready." He couldn't wait and went to the bathroom first, it should be done now, right?
Ah Ben strode towards the ordering counter.
"Is my order ready?"
He looked at the table, there was nothing, what happened?
"I'm really sorry. Due to negligence when placing the order, I missed a piece of chicken rice and a piece of pork chop rice. Could you please wait a little longer?" The clerk admitted with an apologetic face. The only way is to grab a magazine and lean on the counter to read it while waiting. I hope it won't be too long.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw an extremely familiar figure.
When he looked up, he did not recognize the wrong person.
"Professor—"
He was about to say hello, but the other party flew past him like the wind, and he was only one or two steps away, but he didn't hear or see him at all, and Ah Ben couldn't help being stunned.
This, is this the polite man he knew?
Dumb's staring eyes followed him unconsciously—what happened to Professor King?Isn't he always so gentle like something, did someone mess with him?Uh, it's not that his expression is hideous and frightening, it's just that the tranquility on the eve of the storm is really chilling.
It turns out that a person who usually has a good temper suddenly put on a straight face, it's really a bit scary...
Huh? !
Ah Ben's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared in shock at the scary Professor King walking straight towards a certain table in the restaurant——
"...I think your appearance is probably the result of a lack of love." Amy said while eating, and suddenly changed into a matchmaker, "How about this, I have a middle school classmate who has been a neighbor since childhood. It's pretty good, looks good, and works in IT, how about it? Do you want to think about it?"
When Xu Xiaoli heard it, she first sighed helplessly, and then said it funny.
"I--"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think she needs it, either now or in the future."
The sudden voice made her froze all over. This voice was...
The silent heartstrings were trembling with shock, but before she could react, a warm and powerful hand had already grasped her wrist irresistibly!
Amy, who was sitting across from her, stuffed a big mouthful of poached egg into her mouth just now. Before she could bite, she was taken aback by the man who appeared out of nowhere. She took a mouthful of poached egg in a very funny way, and then also stared dumbfounded. Living.
"Go somewhere with me."
Kingsley had completely ignored the attention from the side and pulled her up.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Before she could recover, she was startled again, subconsciously dragging her feet.
"Where are you going?"
He turned his head and stared at her, not moving away for a long time, there were so many subtle and complicated emotions in his resolute pupils, she really couldn't tell them apart for a while, all she knew was that his eyes made her unable to look up with confidence, but those eyes The firmness in it taught people to care about it.
There was a glint in his deep black eyes, but he didn't speak.
When even Amy, who was on the sidelines, was confused, he finally made a move—for the first time, he dragged her away in a very ungentlemanly manner.
When these two people walked past in front of each other, Ah Ben was completely dumbfounded!
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. This is the meal you asked for. In addition, as an apology, we will give you two free ciders and milk tea. I wish you a pleasant meal!" The counter lady smiled and handed over the packed meal box To stupid.
"……real or fake?"
Ah Ben couldn't move his eyes back from the door, but he subconsciously reached out to catch them, and couldn't help murmuring.
"of course it's true."
The counter lady heard it, so she answered him with a sweet smile.
