On New Year's Eve, Seabuckthorn came to Jingxin Clubhouse with two big bags of food and drink. The clubhouse will only be closed for one day during the Spring Festival, and will open normally on the first day of the new year tomorrow.

It was already afternoon when Seabuckthorn went, and Deng Liqiang was still sleeping. He knocked on the door for a long time before opening it.

Deng Liqiang said sleepily, "Brother is here?"

Seabuckthorn: "Yes."

Thinking about it carefully, it was the first time for Deng Liqiang to celebrate the Spring Festival with others. Although he has been in this city for 20 years, he has never had such an experience. Thinking of this, he can't help but feel desolate.

There is no way to cook in the basement, so Seabuckthorn bought hot pot ingredients and prepared to eat hot pot. Deng Liqiang didn't know if Seabuckthorn's parents were still alive, but he was not a local, that's all.

The two of them didn't watch TV while they were having dinner. The programs of the Spring Festival Gala were the same every year, and there was nothing new. One of them drank a glass of soda and two bottles of beer. Deng Liqiang was a little drunk, but Seabuckthorn was very sober.

The whole clubhouse was no longer lively as before, and there was only the bubbling sound of hot pot on the second basement floor. Deng Liqiang was so drunk that he started talking too much.

"Brother, how long do you think I have to hide, this day is really suffocating me!"

"Wait, there will always be an end."

The end mentioned by Seabuckthorn refers to two situations. One is that Deng Liqiang is arrested and imprisoned, and the second is what Seabuckthorn wants to see most, but it will take time and the right timing to realize it.

It is also very possible to fight to the death, and Seabuckthorn has already prepared the worst plan in his heart.

Deng Liqiang, who had already drank a lot, opened another bottle of beer and said, "You told Brother Song that you didn't mention the person I suspect."

"No, if you say things that are not allowed to be called, it will also cause trouble for Brother Song."

Deng Liqiang put the beer bottle on the table vigorously, and said, "Lu Kun is from Chen Juncheng's side, and he has such a good relationship with the police, so it's obviously him!"

"Then what good does it do him to do with Chen Juncheng?"

Deng Liqiang fished a piece of mutton with chopsticks out of the pot, babbled and said, "Who knows? Maybe he fell in love with that shop. Lu Kun was very active when he was in the lawsuit with Sihai Rent a Car, and he tried his best to bring it down. I."

"That's your personal grievance, what has it to do with this matter?"

Deng Liqiang still wanted to explain, but now he really has no evidence to prove that the person who called the police was Lu Kun, and Seabuckthorn's attitude was very clear from the last time. He didn't seem to believe that Lu Kun did it at all. Deng Liqiang faintly felt that something was wrong , I can't figure it out.

At this time, the phone that Seabuckthorn placed next to Deng Liqiang rang, and Seabuckthorn hooked his hands, motioning for Deng Liqiang to bring it to him.

Seabuckthorn’s phone has a large screen, and even if it’s far away, it’s possible to see who’s calling. Of course, Deng Liqiang saw it too. He just glanced at it, feeling a little familiar in his heart, but it’s just a flash, white beer mixed with wine When the energy came up, his eyelids shrugged, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

"Hey!"

When Seabuckthorn came back from the phone call, he saw Deng Liqiang who was lying on the bed snoring and yelled, but he didn't move at all... Seabuckthorn glared at him bitterly, spit, turned and left.

Obviously, Seabuckthorn overestimated Deng Liqiang's drinking capacity. He didn't expect Deng Liqiang to get drunk so quickly. If he knew it, he might as well have done it before drinking...

Seabuckthorn didn't know if he had achieved the purpose of his profession, or Deng Liqiang was pretending, but in fact he had seen everything?

Seabuckthorn was going to ask Deng Liqiang when he sobered up tomorrow. He had to hurry up on what he had to do, otherwise it might not be the same time.

......

At eleven o'clock at night, Chen Mai drove to Jiang Ming's house. They made an appointment to play mahjong together. Chen Mai's parents didn't have the habit of staying up late. .

There were very few people going out on New Year's Eve, and there were not many cars on the busiest street, and most of them were rented. Chen Mai quickly arrived downstairs at Jiang Ming's house accompanied by the fireworks outside.

It's just that she didn't expect to see Wu Ye at the door of the unit.

"Why did you come down? Where are they?" Chen Mai walked up to him and asked.

"Upstairs, I'm thinking about coming down to pick you up, it's not safe at night."

Chen Mai pursed the corner of his lower lip slightly, said "Let's go" lightly, and stepped in first.

The light in the corridor was very dim, and the sound of Chen Mai's high heels was loud and clear, every time he hit Wu Ye's heart, pulling him into reality when he was intoxicated.

"How long have you been back?"

Wu Ye stopped and looked at Chen Mai's back. He never thought that Chen Mai would chat with him, so he was a little confused for a while.

Chen Mai also stopped, turned around to look at Wu Ye, smiled, and said, "How long have you been back?"

"......long time."

"How long is it?"

"...one month."

Just now when Chen Mai smiled lightly, Wu Ye's heart almost jumped out. Fortunately, the dim lights in the corridor concealed his panic.

The footsteps continued, and Chen Mai said again: "Did the clothes I bought for you last time fit me?"

"Excellent fit."

"Then I remember correctly."

I remember his size correctly.

After Chen Mai said this sentence, he didn't speak again.

Wu Ye couldn't remember how long it was the last time they talked like this. Although they had known each other for many years, there were not many conversations with each other like this now.

When the two of them entered the room, Jiang Ming had already set up the mahjong table, and the mahjong was neatly arranged. Chen Mai knew it was Jiang Ming's order without asking, just like his character of cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After changing his shoes and taking off his coat, Chen Mai immediately took a favorable position in the dealership on the east side, and said, "Brother Kun, you are not allowed to release water for Jiang Ming, and I will fine you 100 yuan once I catch you!"

Lu Kun put his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants, walked to Chen Mai's house and sat down with a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Jiang Ming doesn't know how to play, he can't even respond to me trying to release water."

The reason why he chose this seat was because no matter where Jiang Ming sat, the two of them could sit next to each other.

Jiang Ming and Wu Ye also took their seats one after another. When he heard Lu Kun say that, he smiled and didn't refute anything. After all, what he said was the truth.

A few people chatted while playing, most of the chats were about the things they went to school in the past, and Lu Kun would stop interrupting at this time, he wanted to hear more about Jiang Ming's past.

"Brother Kun." Chen Mai said, "Let me tell you, when I was young I often beat Jiang Ming, and he couldn't even beat me."

Lu Kun raised his eyebrows, "How old do you mean before?"

Wu Ye heard the fluttering sound, Chen Mai kicked him under the table, and then said cowardly: "I was taller than him until I was ten years old, but then I don't know why it seems that one day he started He has grown up to the current [-], and since then I have never dared to flirt with him again."

Jiang Ming looked at the cards in his hand, and muttered to himself, "Which one should I play?"

After hearing this, Lu Kun leaned over to make a move, but who knew that Chen Mai yelled "Aww" and said, "Brother Kun, you are such a shameless person!"

"Hit nine! All these nines can be hit, it's okay."

Lu Kun still looked at the cards in Jiang Ming's hand self-consciously, didn't take Chen Mai's words at ease, and said after finishing the move: "If Jiang Ming is fooled with this hand, I will pay for both of you!"

Chen Mai and Wu Ye said "Cut!" at the same time, with an expression of being curious, but Jiang Ming ignored him and obediently punched Jiu Tiao.

"bump!"

Wu Ye yelled, and then brought Jiutiao over. This time, Chen Mai was so happy that she was as happy as if she had lost her beard. She patted Wu Ye's head and said, "Good job! Just do it like this, I see him What else can the two do?!"

The corners of Wu Ye's mouth curled up, and he smiled faintly, who knew that Chen Mai's touch just now made his palms sweat, and the mahjong was soaked...

The noisy four played until 03:30 in the morning before going to bed. Lu Kun and Jiang Ming slept in the same room, Chen Mai slept in the guest room, and Wu Ye consciously took the quilt and went to the living room.

"Just sleep here."

Chen Mai pointed to the bed in the guest bedroom and said to Wu Ye.

"...No."

"I don't take off my clothes, what are you afraid of? Besides, it's not like I haven't slept in the same bed before. How can I sleep on such a narrow sofa?"

"..."

Before Wu Ye could react, Chen Mai snatched the quilt and threw it on the bed in the guest bedroom.

Winter nights are always very long, so long that we don’t know when the sky will appear, but today is Chinese New Year. According to the northern tradition, the lights of every household have to be turned on all night. Both Jiang Ming and Chen Mai couldn’t sleep with the lights on. I was not used to it, so I simply turned off the bedroom, and the others were turned on as usual.

Wu Ye looked at Chen Mai who was playing with her mobile phone beside her. She had just washed her face and removed her makeup. Her face was clean without any impurities. Perhaps in Wu Ye's heart, Chen Mai hadn't changed for many years, and she was still his favorite little girl.

Suddenly, Chen Mai put down his phone and looked in Wu Ye's direction. Seeing this, Wu Ye quickly closed his eyes.

"are you asleep?"

Wu Ye blinked, pretending to have just opened it, and said, "No."

Chen Mai moved closer to him, and Wu Ye's breathing became disordered for an instant.

"Are you going to keep going next year?"

"Ah."

Wu Yeqian, the leader of the outdoor club, was purely a personal hobby at first, but he got used to it after working for a long time. He thought that Chen Mai wouldn't come back anyway, and it didn't matter where he was or what he was doing.

"What about you?" Wu Ye asked Chen Mai.

"I, let's do it. Anyway, I can't find a company with better treatment than the current one. I fly for two days and take 30 days of annual leave a year. I get free treatment when I get sick, and I can travel around the world. This year I am only in Germany. I have flown many times, and when I fly all over the world, I will come back to support my parents.”

Don't plan to get married?Not planning to have a baby?

Wu Ye held back all the questions that came to his lips, he knew that Chen Maiye was used to it, and those things she should do at what age could not restrain her at all, so it was useless for Wu Ye to ask.

After a long time, Wu Ye replied indifferently with two words: "Very good."

"good night."

"Good night......"
