One-way Passage

Facts have proved that some exercise before going to bed is still helpful for sleep.Xia Wennan later forgot about his insomnia, and slept until nearly eight o'clock in the morning.

When he woke up, Ming Luchuan was no longer in the room. When he dazedly reached out to touch his phone, he took a look and found that Ming Luchuan had sent him a message: Seeing that you slept soundly and didn’t call you, I’ll down.

Xia Wennan just got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth in a hurry, changed his clothes and went downstairs, when he heard the voice, everyone had already had breakfast in the dining room.

As soon as he reached the door of the restaurant, he subconsciously stopped, and saw that Yin Zejing had returned and was sitting beside Minqin having breakfast together.

Ming Luchuan seemed to have noticed his hesitation, raised his head and said to him, "Come and sit."

Xia Wennan hurriedly walked to Ming Luchuan and sat down.

Mingqin asked Xia Wennan in a natural manner: "Did Wennan sleep well last night?"

Xia Wennan nodded: "Very good."

Yin Zejing saw that the milk in Mingqin's cup was finished, and reached out to pick up the milk carton to pour him some more.

Minchin said, "I'd like some coffee."

Yin Zejing immediately said: "I'll cook for you." After speaking, he got up and went to the kitchen.

After a while, Yin Zejing brought out the brewed coffee and put it in front of Minqin, then returned to his seat and sat down.While continuing to eat breakfast, he looked at Minqin and said, "Then I went to contact the new internship company?"

Minqin said, "Go."

Yin Zejing propped his face with one hand, stirred the oatmeal in the bowl in front of him with a spoon, and at the same time sighed softly, and saw that Minqin didn't respond, so he didn't say anything else.

Mingqin picked up the coffee and drank it slowly, and when he put it down, he suddenly said to Ming Luchuan and the others: "Uncle Duan's birthday is next week, you should prepare the presents yourself."

Xia Wennan raised his head, he didn't even know which Uncle Duan was.

Ming Siyan said: "I don't know if Huaiye has any work arrangements at that time."

Mingqin said: "Go as much as you can, after all, Uncle Duan is different, we have been friends for so many years." After speaking, Mingqin looked at Ming Siyan again: "Why does Huaiye seldom come here recently?"

Ming Siyan lowered his gaze, staring at the plate in front of him in a daze: "He is very busy with work, we don't see each other much."

Mingqin frowned when he heard this, "You've been engaged for so long, you should get married when it's time, there's no need to keep wasting time."

Ming Siyan didn't speak, but looked embarrassed, obviously he wasn't the only one who had the final say on this matter.

Yin Zejing seemed to really want to go out to contact a new internship company, so he left in a hurry after breakfast.

Before Ming Siyan left the restaurant, he said to Xia Wennan: "Wennan, I still have something to do, so I won't wait for you and brother."

Xia Wennan quickly said: "You go, don't delay the matter."

Ming Siyan waved to Xia Wennan reluctantly.

Xia Wennan came down late, and after breakfast, Ming Qin had already left the restaurant and went upstairs, Ming Luchuan also got up, saying that he would get the car first.

Xia Wennan was left alone in the dining room, and hurriedly finished the eggs and milk. He stood up and planned to go out, but suddenly saw his aunt coming out of the kitchen and began to clear the table.

Xia Wennan stopped suddenly.

"Auntie," he called out.

The aunt raised her head and smiled kindly: "Mr. Xia hasn't gone to work yet?"

Xia Wennan turned his thoughts around and asked, "Has Auntie worked in the Ming family for a long time?"

The aunt said: "It hasn't been long, about two years, unlike Sister Zhang, who has been working in Ming's family for more than ten or twenty years."

The time of two years sounded a little sensitive to Xia Wennan, he asked, "Did you come here after Sichen's accident?"

Auntie nodded: "Before Sichen had an accident, it was said that Sister Zhang was cooking and cleaning, and when Sichen had an accident, Zhang Sister went to take care of him, and then hired me to work in Ming's house."

"So that's the case. Then my aunt must know about my car accident."

The aunt stopped what she was doing: "Yes, I was shocked when I heard that day, but luckily it's okay."

"I ate at home that night and drove back alone. Did you prepare the meal?"

"It's me," the aunt replied.

"Did you stay in the kitchen while eating?" Xia Wennan asked.

Having eaten at Ming's house for such a long time, he found that basically from the time they started cooking to the time they cleaned up after eating, Auntie would never leave the kitchen.

Hearing Xia Wennan's question, the aunt recalled and said, "Yes."

"Did anyone enter the kitchen other than you that day?"

The aunt showed a surprised look: "Hey? Why are you asking this question?"

"Who else asked?" Xia Wennan was taken aback.

"Mr. Lu Chuan came down early this morning, and he also asked me this question."

Xia Wennan suddenly realized, but he was not very surprised, so he asked: "Is there?"

The aunt said: "You have come in."

"I came in? What did I come in for?"

My aunt seems to have a deep memory of what happened that night, and said: "You said you don't drink, so come in and pour orange juice to drink, and I will help you get a glass, and get orange juice from the refrigerator." After saying this, the aunt said: " So I said you should drink some alcohol that day, you won't be able to drive, and you won't have any accidents."

Xia Wennan smiled: "It's okay, anyway, I'm fine now." After speaking, he quickly asked again: "Did anyone come in before that?"

"Sister Zhang came in," the aunt said, "If there are too many people, Sister Zhang will come in to help prepare Sichen's meals. Sichen's food is prepared separately. And Xiao Yin seems to have come in."

"like?"

"I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, I saw Xiao Yin going out. He seemed to have just returned from playing golf and took a drink from the refrigerator."

"Oh—" Xia Wennan was still a little confused, and replied in a dragged voice.

The aunt said: "Mr. Lu Chuan asked me just now, and that's what I told him. Is there any problem?"

At this time, there was a sound of honking the horn outside the house, and it sounded like Ming Luchuan was urging him after waiting for a long time.

Xia Wennan had no choice but to say to his aunt: "It's nothing, thank you, auntie, I'll go to work first."

After finishing speaking, he came out of the kitchen, and when he walked to the living room, he grabbed the coat hanging on the hanger by the door, and while wearing it, he walked out to the parking place of Ming Luchuan, pulled the co-pilot and sat in.

Ming Luchuan started the car and asked him, "Why is it so slow?"

Xia Wennan whispered, "I just asked the nanny some questions."

Ming Luchuan glanced at him.

Xia Wennan bumped his elbow: "Driving and driving, it's already late, let's talk while walking."

Ming Luchuan drove away from Ming's house slowly.

Xia Wennan couldn't help looking back from the rearview mirror, saw the garden gradually moving away, and at the same time said to Ming Luchuan: "I heard that you also went to ask auntie."

Ming Luchuan said "hmm".

Xia Wennan touched his lips, "You all drank wine that night, and I drank orange juice alone. Could it be that someone put sleeping pills in the orange juice?" He remembered that his aunt said that Yin Zejing opened the refrigerator to get drinks.

"No."

The tone of Ming Luchuan's answer was too certain, Xia Wennan looked at him strangely: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because it's an unopened bottle of orange juice, you take it out and I opened the lid for you."

Xia Wennan was stunned for a while, and his thoughts went astray: "Am I so weak? Do you still need to open the bottle cap for me?"

Ming Luchuan glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Xia Wennan frowned and thought: "Not necessarily, what if the sleeping pills were melted and injected with a needle?"

Ming Luchuan said: "I don't know, but I don't think so."
