crime shadow [criminal investigation]

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching, the streets and alleys are full of festive atmosphere, the urban management seems to be on holiday, and the vendors are allowed to open their stalls. Under the background music of the magic reformed DJ Divine Comedy, the bored old calligrapher raised the Spring Festival couplets on the spot, soaked in the fragrance of ink For all ages and children, the children next door wore toys, ten yuan and ten rings, but none of them won, but this did not prevent them from smiling knowingly.

Listening to the sound of falling cannons outside, Lin An sorted out the last investigation file, slapped the table with relief, and shouted habitually: "Jing Huaer, Brother Jiang, if you think there is no problem after reading it, please put the file in the safe for me. "

Hearing this, colleagues who were also relieved cast glances at the idiot one after another.

Lin An was stunned and realized later——Yu Zi will not come back, at least not to this office, and Jiang Bei will not come back for the time being. The beast in the hospital finally woke up after lying down for a week. Seriously, he needs to suppress it.

"Why are you looking at me? You haven't seen handsome guys?" Lin An looked around the office where there were few people, feeling empty in his heart, especially when Yu Zi's desk was placed across from him. The lush green radish even crossed the boundary arrogantly, entangled his dusty pen holder.

I heard from a colleague that Yu Zili was only a hair away from falling downstairs that night. I don’t know where she got the courage to get a brick and kick it off the balcony, almost bringing herself down. When the search and rescue team heard the movement, this Only then went upstairs to rescue her who was half-hanging in the air.

Yu Zi woke up earlier than Jiang Nan, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to cooperate with the police to record a statement. After obtaining approval, she took Guan Jingyi to register for a household registration, and promised Guan Jingyi that he would go home when he grew to 1.8 meters.

Guan Jingyi foolishly agreed, and now he has four meals a day and two milks, just to grow taller quickly.

This is probably their best ending, but also the beginning.

Lin An withdrew his thoughts and bound the investigation volume into a book.

After half the city bureau worked tirelessly overtime, the follow-up work was finally finished before the new year. Once the investigation file was handed over, the next thing was to wait for the procuratorate to prosecute.

It is worth mentioning that Deputy Bureau Song also brought back Guan Ming. He always believed that Guan Ming must be put in court and accepted the verdict under the witness of countless families of the victims, so as to give an explanation to fairness, justice and ordinary people. .So when Guan Ming woke up from a coma and saw Deputy Director Song, he almost tore Deputy Director Song's hands off.

He was about to die, but he had to be rescued to die again, and he had to go to the court for a formality before he died. This was undoubtedly torture and humiliation for Guan Ming.

Lin An thought: It deserves it.

As soon as the heavy work was over, the office regained its former vitality. Several old men each held a bucket of instant noodles and discussed the topic of the New Year.

"Are you going home this year?"

"I'm not on duty, why don't I go back?"

"When you go back, won't your mother introduce you to a distant cousin? My mother introduced a cousin to me last year. She was related to me. She almost killed me—hey, why didn't I see Yang Chao? He won't go to see the future. Mother-in-law, right?"

"Don't you know, he's planning to end his long-distance love run and step into the palace of marriage."

"What?!" Listening to Jun's words, Lin An spit out, "He wants to get married?!"

The big guy was extremely curious about his stress reaction, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Do you have any opinions on Yang Chao getting married?

Are you gay too?

"No," Lin An also realized that he was going too far, and quickly explained, "That's all...Yang Chao is married, Brother Jiang has a beast, and then I am, why is the 'incense' broken here? You introduced your distant cousin to me?"

"Stay away from death."

Lin An wanted to sell himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a howl broke out from downstairs, interrupting Lin An's voice.

Everyone is familiar with it. In the past half a month, the police tried their best to contact the family members of the victims based on the list provided by Qiu Zongfu. Every so often, family members came over the mountains and ridges, guarding the hall alone and desperately, as if they could wait for them to come back. relatives.

Lin An went downstairs to look. Those women and men were scattered in every corner of the hall, numb or mournful. The old couples who supported each other comforted each other, but no one could comfort the other.

In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Guan Ming refused to explain it, and Qiu Zongfu knew very little. If all the family members were contacted, the entire city bureau might not be able to pretend.

The receptionist gathered the family members together again, briefly explained the progress of the work to them, reassured them and hoped that they could go home, but unfortunately few people listened, only a sallow-faced woman dusted off her clothes, got up and carried Picking up the canvas bag, he left the hall of the Municipal Bureau first, and walked into the warm sun.

Lin An recognized her as Li Linyan's family member. Women were the first to come and leave. She probably won't come back tomorrow.

"Li Linyan's family members have returned home, and Lin An brought the news for you."

In the hospital ward, Jiang Bei was sitting on the escort chair, the slanting sunlight lingered on his cheeks affectionately, teasing his distinct eyelashes, and softening the sculptural facial contours, making him look warm.

He held a half-peeled apple in one hand, and opened the inbox of his mobile phone to read the text message from Lin An. While speaking, he did not forget to pay attention to the reaction of the beast. As expected, the beast ignored him and covered himself with the quilt. strict.

The reason why the beast is not happy is because Jiang Bei said "I love you".

Thinking of the narrow escape that night, and the painstaking efforts of the rescue process, Jiang Nan naturally couldn't feel the hardships, but Jiang Bei, who was awake all the time, really felt it.

When the doctor announced that the patient’s life was temporarily out of danger, Jiang Bei’s heart sank. However, before it was realized, he was sent to the ICU again. After a hundred and eighty times, he was finally transferred from the ICU to the general ward, but he didn't wake up for a long time. Jiang Bei once thought that Jiang Nan was a plant, so when Jiang Nan opened his eyes one day, under the stimulation of great joy, Jiang Bei's eyes were red He blurted out "I love you", for fear that Jiangnan would recite it again, and he would not hear his confession by then.

If you change the scene, such as saying "I love you" under the starry sky, it must be a beautiful romance, but if you say it in the hospital, or say it to a person who has just returned from the gate of hell, there is always a kind of terminal illness that will die soon. , The doctor told you to eat whatever you want.

At that time, Jiang Nan supported his bandaged waist, saw Jiang Bei's flushed eyes clearly, and asked with great uncertainty: "Did I hurt my kidney, that's why you said 'I love you' to coax me?"

Jiang Bei didn't understand how his brain circuit was long, but when he thought that Jiang Nan would have to be observed in the hospital for a period of time, in order to prevent him from eating this and that, and complaining about the hospital's food, he intentionally frightened him and said softly. He said, "You'd better follow the doctor's advice."

After that, Jiangnan was immersed in the grief of "kidney failure" every day, and he listened to the doctor's words very much, including the unpalatable nutritious meal. He didn't refuse chicken soup either.

As his body recovered slowly, his mind became brighter. Only then did he remember to ask the doctor who made the rounds: "Did I hurt my kidney?"

The doctor brought the film and medical certificate, and told him responsibly: "No."

Jiang Bei put down the apple, lifted the quilt, and let Jiang Nan look at him: "Are you angry?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Nan let Jiang Bei pinch his chin, and said quietly, "I thought it was really bad, and I even entrusted the nurse sister to help me buy the land. Huang Wan, she entrusted others, and passed on ten or ten stories. Bai, now the whole hospital knows that my kidney is not good!"

Jiang Bei wanted to laugh, but held back anyway: "Don't you feel it yourself?"

"How do you feel?" Jiang Nan asked, "I don't wake up until noon every day. The only thing that can prove that my kidneys have no problem is the morning. Nosebleeds, now the nosebleeds are gone, I thought I was too weak to stop the nosebleeds."

Jiang Bei ignored his rascal words, and explained: "I told my mother to put less medicinal ingredients to avoid physical intolerance. Now that you are awake, let's get up and eat. The doctor will come to make rounds later."

"Can't we go home and eat? I'm fine, I want to be discharged from the hospital," Jiang Nan complained, his face changed in a second, grievances were written on every pore, "The whole hospital knows that my kidneys are not good, so the nurses bought me land Huangwan, how do you want me to face Jiangdong's elders?"

Jiang Bei shook his head and said resolutely, "No, the doctor said it will take a few days before he can be discharged from the hospital."

He paused, looking at Jiangnan's blushing face from the sun, always feeling like he was in a dream: "In a few days... What do you want to do after you leave the hospital? Or what do you want to do in the future?" What? You have a name, you are no longer the shadow of Cheng Ye, you are no longer suspected, you can do anything, you don't want to hold your property and continue to squat at home, do you?"

"Later" is a word full of hope. Before, Jiangnan never thought about what his "later" would be like. He lived in the shadow of Cheng Ye, and Guan Ming had already set the ending for him. His "later" It is "tomorrow" walking on thin ice, until one day someone promises to him to take him out of the shadows, and he has the courage to imagine the future, the future.

Facts have proved that Jiang Bei did it, no, they did it, they have the future together.

"I want to be your colleague," Jiang Nan said seriously, "but it doesn't seem to work. I read all the books I used to read to Cheng Ye. If I can't be a colleague, I can be your informant. I can be your informant. Or your lover."

"No," Jiang Bei shook his head again, rejecting Jiangnan's proposal, "It's too dangerous, why don't you continue painting."

"Then why are you asking me?" Jiang Nan was serious for only ten seconds, then changed his face again, and once the quilt was covered, he didn't love anyone.

Jiang Bei sighed helplessly, lifted the quilt like coaxing a child, and rubbed Jiang Nan into his arms: "I don't want to see you enter the emergency room again, not every time you can be so lucky, you can make a copy Ordinary work, nine to five...six is ​​fine, the salary doesn't need to be high, just pass the time, if you don't feel bored, you can actually stay at home."

"You want to raise me up?"

Jiang Nan stayed in Jiang Bei's arms, buried his head in the other's neck, he found that since he woke up, Jiang Bei especially liked to hug him, and also liked to touch his chest, to feel his beating heart.

In Lin An's words, Jiang Bei is suffering from mild stress disorder. He is afraid that he will leave, and he will not rest assured until he is sure that his breathing and heartbeat are normal.

"Well," Jiang Bei said unabashedly, "Nursing Fei."

He tightened his arms, the warmth from Jiangnan reassured him, he didn't want to experience the despair and powerlessness of this body slowly getting cold in his arms.

He embraces his dream, and the existence of Jiangnan is a dream come true.

After all, Jiang Bei didn't agree to Jiangnan's proposal. In the end, Deputy Bureau Song threw an olive branch, saying that resources should not be wasted, and everything should be used to the best of its ability. Jiang Bei was sulking for several days because of this, and even shook his face at Deputy Bureau Song. The deputy director took out the reading glasses, not to mention looking at people's faces, he couldn't even see where Jiang Bei was.

On New Year's Eve, Lin An also came to the hospital, and besides delivering New Year's goods, he also brought Yang Chao's wedding invitation.It is said that Yang Chao was planning to get married when he was in the middle of the year. It was a coincidence that Wen Hongliang was involved in trouble, and then the cases exploded one after another like a firecracker. he broke up...

Of course, the main purpose of Lin An's visit this time was to ridicule Jiangnan's purchase of land. Huang Wan.

Although Jiangnan was not yet ready, it was not a problem to get Lin An dealt with. He immediately kicked him out of the ward and threatened to sue Lin An if he spread rumors again.

Jiang Bei didn't care about the two of them, he took a suitcase to pack his things and was about to be discharged from the hospital. Originally, the doctor suggested that he stay in the hospital for two days for observation, but Jiang Nan wanted to go home for the New Year.

Jiang Bei thought about it, in the past, Jiangnan probably spent the New Year alone, so this year, no matter what, let Jiangnan go home and spend it with everyone.He greeted the doctor and went through the discharge procedures. Anyway, Jiangnan was already able to single out Lin An, as long as he didn't die, he would not die. Besides, he was close, and if something happened, he could take Jiangnan within 5 minutes. Killed to the hospital.

"Can you be quiet for a while?" Jiang Bei cleaned up the lace sent by the big guy and said, "The doctor said not to exercise vigorously to prevent the wound from opening."

Jiang Nan closed the door with a "bang", and refused to open it no matter how much Lin An yelled.He didn't listen to what Jiang Bei said at all, turned around and put on a wronged face: "A Bei, he bullied me."

"Understood," Jiang Bei replied lightly, and then pulled the suitcase and Jiang Nan out the door. The moment he opened the door, he said two words to Lin An outside the door, "Shut up."

The boss told him to shut up, but Lin An had no choice but to do so, and he also helped someone carry the luggage into the car.

The three said goodbye at the hospital, and then went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

On the way home, Jiang Nan kept thinking why only Jiang Bei came to pick him up. When he was hospitalized, Aunt Deng and Aunt Cheng came every day, but no one came when he was discharged.

But he didn't ask Jiang Bei why. He is an adult with hands and feet. Wouldn't it be naive to have a lot of people come to pick him up after he is discharged from the hospital?

After all, Jiang Bei was not willing to let Jiang Nan drive, and continued to be the driver. He drove the car into the parking lot of the community, stopped and went to get the luggage in the trunk: "Here we are, let's go home."

Jiang Nan got out of the car, and held Jiang Bei's arm shyly: "Do you remember the last time you picked me up home and only said two words to me when we got there—here we are."

Jiang Bei knew that Jiang Nan was talking about this summer. At that time, he tried his best to take Jiang Jiang back. On the way back, he regretted it. Naturally, he didn't give Jiang Nan a good face. When he got home, he wanted to call someone "" Get down", thought for a while, and still only said "here". Now that he is used to the existence of Jiangnan, he naturally added "go home".

Jiang Nan hadn't been home for a month, and couldn't wait to go upstairs, but before he could press the password for the door, the door opened automatically.

Deng Shuping was standing behind the door wearing an apron, with a happy face on her face: "Xiao Nan is back? Come in quickly, is it cold outside?"

Cheng Qiong was more pragmatic, and directly gave him a coat and a pair of gloves, saying: "You can't catch a cold just after being discharged from the hospital, so wear it."

Jiang Nan took it with his hand, took a step back and looked at the house number, thinking that he went to the right house, why are the two aunts here, not only the aunts, but also Jiang Bei's father, squatting in the corner peeling potatoes, Apparently a free labor.

The parents of both sides are here, what are they going to do?

Jiang Nan looked at Jiang Bei suspiciously.

Jiang Bei rubbed the tip of his nose and explained, "They said they would come and spend New Year's Eve together."

Jiang Nan said "Oh", saying that he hadn't celebrated the New Year with so many people yet, so he was a little nervous.

Deng Shuping really can't do anything with her stupid son, Cheng Qiong is here, why bring Jiangnan to stand stupidly at the door?Show it off.

"Jiang Bei, what are you doing standing there? You can't find your way to your house and you want me to invite you in, right? It's so cold outside, bring Xiao Nan in to keep warm."

Jiang Bei: "..."

Jiangnan: "..."

This familiar feeling came again. When will Ms. Deng realize that she has hired a son-in-law instead of a daughter-in-law?

Father Jiang, who had already seen everything, raised his eyes and thought to himself, "Silly woman, I have never seen a mother who is so anxious to send her son away."

Cheng Qiong also confused Deng Shuping, and began to carefully examine the two people outside the door.

Seeing Jiang Bei and Jiang Nan made her uncomfortable, and they went to grab the suitcase one after another, trying to find a prop to ease the embarrassment.

At this time, a small dumpling ran out of the bedroom and shouted loudly: "Uncle!"

Jiang Nan took a closer look, isn't this his eldest nephew?Ready-made props!

Jiang Nan, who hadn't snatched the suitcase, picked up Guan Jingyi, pretending to be cold and warm, Guan Jingyi didn't guess his uncle's ulterior motives, he answered every question, and the picture was very harmonious and loving.

Speaking of which, it took Guan Jingyi only one night to go from being an idiot son of a landlord to a homeless boy. Afterwards, Deng Shuping took him with him for two days. The police felt that this was not the way to go, so they contacted Guan Jingyi's grandmother. At first, the old man did not accept the sudden appearance of his grandson, but after a few days, he figured it out and said that he would bring Guan Jing back. However, the police checked the old man's financial situation and found that she did not have the ability to raise children. The daughter went in, and the important financial support was gone. Her monthly pension was only enough to live on her own, and she couldn't support her children.

Later, the police thought of Guan Jingyi's uncle, but...his uncle was too young and did not meet the age requirements. Furthermore, his uncle still lived with other people, so don't take the child with him. It's better to let Guan Jingyi follow his grandma, eat and live almost, than let his uncle teach him badly.

I don't know if Guan Jingyi is too heartless or too sensible, he neither asks what's wrong with his father nor where his mother is, anyway he goes with whoever wants him.

According to his grandmother, this little guy doesn't recognize his birth, he doesn't cry or make noise when he arrives at his new home, he can do whatever he asks him to do, he's not picky about his food, he eats whatever he gives him, and he's very easy to support.

But grandma always felt that Guan Jingyi didn't behave like a child of a certain age, and she was afraid that he would get bored, so she sent him to Jiangnan every weekend, thinking that young people might be able to play with children, but it turned out that his grandma Thinking right, Guan Jingyi has returned to his former vivaciousness, playing tricks and acting coquettishly.

Jiang Nan hugged Guan Jingyi: "Why did you come here? Aren't you spending the New Year with grandma?"

Guan Jingyi hugged his remote control car like a big baby: "Grandma said she would pick me up later."

Jiang Nan walked to the door of the bedroom, thinking that the props were used up, so he put down the official scene and let him play by himself: "I will take you back after dinner."

Guan Jing raised his chubby face and stared at Jiang Nan, as if he had a question to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, and ran to the kitchen with the car in his arms to steal a meal.

Jiang Nan missed his big bed very much. As soon as he left, he immediately kicked off his shoes and rolled around on the bed. Not long after, Jiang Bei also managed to escape Ms. Deng's attack and slipped into the room, took out his luggage and packed them one by one. Hang it in the closet.

Jiang Nan suddenly thought of something, jumped up, and looked through the small drawer in the wardrobe. As expected, the drawer was empty.

"Well...Ah Bei, do you remember what we said before, if you go home safely, you will promise me one request?"

Jiang Bei said "um": "I remember."

Jiang Nan pointed to the empty drawer and said, "Then can you return my salary card to me?"

Jiang Bei folded his clothes without raising his head: "Why, haven't you reached a long-term cooperation with Uncle Song? If there is no accident, you will be able to get paid soon. By the way, Uncle Song said, this time you help For your help, he even applied for an award for you, so why are you staring at my property?"

Jiangnan: "..."

He went from a local tyrant to a pauper in just one thought.

"No, I... yes! I want to raise my eldest nephew. Think about it, his grandmother can only feed and clothe my eldest nephew, but my eldest nephew can't lose at the starting line. When he is older, he has to go to various trainings. Ban, money is needed everywhere, before his mother comes out, I have the obligation to train my eldest nephew to be... talent."

Jiang Nan didn't know what he was talking about.

"Oh, I made an agreement with Guan Jingyi to give him pocket money every month and support him in whatever he wants to learn. Of course, I promise him in your name," Jiang Bei smiled at Jiang Nan, "He said he will respect you when he grows up, so you don't have to worry."

Jiangnan: "..."

It was arranged clearly.

"Then...then what should I do if I can't feel a steel coin all over my body now? Kari is all my belongings, really, I won't lie to you."

Jiang Bei threw his clothes away: "Why didn't you think about this problem when you left all your belongings? Why, you guessed that you might never return, so you left a sum of money and wanted to send me away? Now that you have given it to me , there is no reason to go back. You'd better behave yourself, maybe one day I'll pay you back when I'm in a good mood. "

Jiang Nan's forehead twitched, and he had a new understanding of his family status, so he broke the pot and said, "Forget it, that's actually the gift money I gave you, and your family doesn't have to return the dowry. Since you accepted my gift, Then pick a day to get things done—oh!"

Jiang Bei hurriedly covered Jiang Nan's mouth, Jiang Nan struggled a bit, saw Guan Jing Yi standing at the door, and closed his mouth guiltily.

Guan Jing glanced at this and that, his big eyes filled with great curiosity, he said "Auntie told you to eat", then turned around to complain, and shouted, "Uncle Jiang bullied my uncle!"

At the dinner table, Ms. Deng caught her son about Jiang Bei bullying her "daughter-in-law" and yelled at her son. Jiang's father couldn't stand it anymore, and muttered softly: "Your son's bullying problem is because of you."

Ms. Deng's ears were sharp, and she heard it clearly. She immediately transferred the subjects of education, and did not forget to apologize to Cheng Qiong after the incident.

Jiang's father didn't listen at all, and forced a wry smile at Jiangnan, meaning that it's good to get used to it, and can you still fight head-to-head with his wife?

Jiang Nan successfully accepted the advice given to him by those who came over, and Uncle Xindao was right!

The little culprit who filed the complaint was completely unaffected by others, and only cared about eating vegetables, but he couldn't catch them with his short hands, and acted like a baby with Jiang Bei very naturally, asking Jiang Bei to pick up chicken legs for him, as if Jiang Bei's being scolded had nothing to do with him .

Jiang Bei thought it was right to let Guan Jingyi follow his grandmother. If he wanted to follow Jiangnan, he might be even more shameless than Jiangnan when he grew up.

The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until the evening. During the dinner, Ms. Deng kept attacking Cheng Qiong with various postures. She directly turned the reunion dinner into a blind date meeting, and even confessed her family background. The purpose was to reassure Cheng Qiong. Not to mention a "Jiangnan", even if there are two or three more, the Jiang family can afford it.

"You said Xiaonan's own mother... Don't talk about that, since you have brought him, she is still half a mother." Ms. Deng took Cheng Qiong's hand and said, "Although my family's Jiangbei is older than Xiaonan, it is better to be older. Ah, mature, I know my son best, he is down-to-earth, he doesn't have any fluff, and he doesn't talk much, but he just happens to be able to get along with Xiao Nan."

Father Jiang snorted coldly: I'm afraid you don't know your son well enough.

"Jiang Bei?" Father Jiang winked at his son—quickly explain to your mother, your mother is already in a daze.

Jiang Bei plugged Guan Jingyi's ears, playing with the child as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Qiong also confused Deng Shuping, suspecting that her previous thoughts were wrong, and asked uncertainly: "Xiao Nan?"

Jiang Nan drank the soup with a bowl in his hand, and almost buried his face in the bowl.

Ms. Deng used her actions to explain what it means that she is not embarrassed and embarrassed is someone else, and what she thinks is right.

Under her storm-like offensive, Cheng Qiong responded with a "hmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

After the meal, Ms. Deng won another chance for her son to perform, and asked Jiang Bei to put away the table and wash the dishes...

Jiang Bei looked at Lao Gao's dirty dishes and fell into deep thought, but Jiang Nan added fuel to the fire and said in a pinched voice, "Come on, Aunt Deng said that I will enjoy happiness with you."

Jiang Bei: "..."

After a while, the sound of rushing water came from the kitchen, which merged with the announcement of the Spring Festival Gala in the living room.

Several elders sat on the sofa and chatted. Father Jiang tried a few times, but found that he had nothing in common with the two women, so he simply hugged the cat and licked it.Jiang Nan gave up the seat of the sofa to his elders, and sat on the carpet with Guan Jingyi to play with the remote control car, and glanced at the figure who was busy in the kitchen from time to time.

For a while, the sounds of talking, cat meowing, and children's laughter gathered into fireworks, filled every corner, and gave birth to a flower called "The Years Are Quiet".

Listen to Jiangnan, the soul that has been floating in the river for more than ten years has passed through the long years and returned to the warm and harmonious home, where it has taken root and grown wildly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, several elders went back home, and Guan Jingyi also let his grandmother pick them up. Jiang Bei and Jiang Nan sent people to the car one by one like newlyweds, and it was already too late to clean up the mess when they returned home. late at night.

Jiang Nan went to take a shower, and after coming out of the bathroom, he found Jiang Bei cooking dark dishes in the kitchen, and couldn't help but go up to him to look curiously: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Bei pointed to the stove.

——Red wine is boiled in a milk pot, and apple, lemon, orange and cinnamon are added.

Jiang Nan suddenly felt top-heavy, limply on Jiang Bei's back, sniffed the intoxicating aroma of Jiang Bei, and asked, "Can I drink?"

"A little bit."

Jiang Bei took out two cups, and the pre-ordered cake was already set up on the bar, Jiang Nan dug a spoonful to taste, acquiescing that the rest of the time would be their world of two.

If Jiang Nan wanted to praise Jiang Bei, he would prepare a surprise, but Jiang Bei turned around and went into the bedroom, carrying a small bag in a daze.

Jiang Nan swallowed the cake, watched Jiang Bei curiously as he went to the bar and sat down, and took another two sips of wine.

"What?" Jiang Nan asked with a smile, "What do you need to drink to strengthen your courage?"

Jiang Bei wiped the wine-red liquid from the corner of his mouth with his wrist, with a provocative look of "I'm drunk, please enter the urn". He didn't notice that Jiang Nan on the opposite side secretly swallowed his throat.

"A New Year's gift for you." Jiang Bei threw the bag on the bar, thought for a moment that this behavior was too casual, took the bag back, opened the complicated and cumbersome packing box, and took out a necklace with a ring on it.

Jiang Nan touched his empty neck, and then remembered that his necklace was taken away by Guan Ming, and he probably couldn't find it.He immediately got up, stretched his neck in front of Jiang Bei, and at the same time fiddled with the necklace with two rings hanging around Jiang Bei's neck, one of which was bought by him. Jiang Bei beat someone and went into the water that night, but he didn't lose the ring .

Jiang Nan joked: "Wearing two rings, those who didn't know thought you were married twice."

Jiang Bei ignored this, and put on the necklace for Jiang Nan in the mist of boiling red wine, and adjusted his position. He wanted to say something, but he didn't watch many idol dramas, so he really couldn't speak earthy love stories, so he just hoped Looking at Jiangnan in a daze, he fell into the other party's suddenly smiling eyes without paying attention.

The TV was always on, and it was midnight, and several hosts were talking about New Year's Eve speeches, and then began the countdown.

"five,"

"Four,"

Jiang Nan was very patient and resourceful, even his flailing eyelashes were trying to lure Jiang Bei.

"three--"

The countdown sound is urging people, urging Jiang Bei to hurry up.

He suddenly held Jiangnan's face in his hands, and leaned over to press a fruit wine-flavored kiss on the corner of the other's lips.

"two--"

Taking advantage of the feeling of being slightly drunk, Jiang Bei deepened the kiss and murmured:

"I love you, and next year too."

He even copied Jiangnan's confession.

"one!"

The city where the ban on firecrackers was lifted instantly exploded into the sky, and the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the living room were filled with fiery trees and silver flowers, and "next year" came quietly amidst the fireworks and lingering kisses.

There are countless "next years" in the future.

Day after month, month after year, year after year, love never dies, and the future can be expected.
