"But just two months ago, Yuqi told me that she had a boyfriend. I was so happy at that time, and asked Yuqi to bring him home to have a look..." The old man was very happy, very happy.

Shen Qing frowned slightly.

"Do you still remember what Yuqi's boyfriend looks like? What's his name?" Lu Yuan interrupted her.

The old man was silent for a while, as if thinking.

"He's tall, well-groomed, and very energetic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a very tough young man...I remember his name...Li Jie seems...Yu Qi said he was a policeman .” The old man said while recalling.

"Do you remember which city bureau it is?" Lu Yuan also frowned.

"It seems to be the local municipal bureau... Huaiyin Municipal Bureau..." The old man answered Lu Yuan's question blankly.

"That young man is really nice, and he promised me that he will be good to Yuqi for the rest of his life..." The old man began to say to himself again, "But he didn't come here a month ago, and Yuqi was alone after that." When I came back, I asked her, and she said he was busy..."

"By the way, I've said so much, you're hungry too. I'll cook noodles for you... I'll let you have a taste of my cooking skills. Yuqi really likes my cooked noodles..." said the old man, supporting the bed stand up.

Shen Qing just wanted to stop him, but then she didn't know what to think, so she didn't speak.

The old man walked to the small stove and started cooking noodles seriously.

"So, it wasn't Si Yuqi's grandma who called at all." Lu Yuan's voice was so low that only he and Shen Qing could hear it.

"Have you ever heard the name Li Jie?" Shen Qing didn't answer Lu Yuan's words just now, but looked around.

"No." Lu Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head, "But I only know Jiang Ziyang and his friends, so it doesn't mean that Li Jie is not from the police station."

Shen Qing didn't speak, turned around, accidentally brought the cross-stitched white cloth on the bed to the ground, bent down to pick it up, turned her head, and suddenly stopped.

Shen Qing frowned and stood up, put the cross stitch back on the bed, and looked at Si Yuqi's grandma, who was cooking noodles with her back to them.

He rolled up his sleeves, squatted down against the edge of the bed, and stretched one hand in. Lu Yuan didn't understand what he was doing, so he squatted down too.

Seeing a book under the bed, he stretched out his arms to take it. Lu Yuan had long hands and legs, and his arms were also singing a little bit more than Shen Qing. He turned slightly and took out the book, blowing the dust and cotton on the book, and finally I found that it was not a book at all, but a half-thick book, which looked quite old.

Shen Qing took the notebook and flipped through it, then put the notebook in her arms.

"What is that?" Lu Yuan couldn't help asking.

"If my guess is right, it's a diary." Shen Qing took a piece of paper on the bed, wiped the notebook clean, put it back in her arms, and covered it with her coat.

"Since there is nothing else to discover, let's go?" Lu Yuan looked around and found that there was really nothing else.

But Shen Qing shook her head, her eyes flickered slightly, like two crystal clear night pearls, "I want to stay and finish this meal with grandma."

His words are firm, and his eyes are firmer.Lu Yuan was stunned, he thought about it and laughed again, how could his little Shenqing be so obedient, so easy to feel sorry for others.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Lu Yuan nodded, reaching out to rub Shen Qing's soft hair.

After thinking about it, he took out his phone again, Jiang Ziyang should have woken up at this time, so he called Jiang Ziyang.

"Hello? Old Lu?" The voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse, it seemed that he had just woken up not long ago.

"I said, listen, don't tell Liu Feng other than you." Lu Yuan said seriously, Jiang Ziyang immediately understood what was going on, the city bureau had undercover agents, and every time he would tell them the news before them Quickly evacuated. After this incident, Jiang Ziyang felt terrified after thinking carefully. In Yan Jie's case, there must be a bigger force behind him, but at that time he could only be found. report.

"Tell me." Jiang Ziyang cleared his throat and regained consciousness immediately.

"Check someone, Li Jie, Si Yuqi's boyfriend, and also a policeman in your bureau." Lu Yuan looked at his watch, and at 12:46, he turned to look at the old man who was filling the bowl, "It's almost See you at the city bureau at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay." Jiang Ziyang quickly hung up the phone after replying.Let Liu Feng take care of Qin Lang and several injured policemen here, and return to the city bureau by himself.

Life is always unpredictable, so, at any time, we must hold a hope.

"Here we come..." The old man came over with a bowl of noodles, Shen Qing hurried to pick it up, before the old man turned around to go back, Lu Yuan had already brought over the other two bowls.

The old man could only turn around and take the chopsticks.

Shen Qing sat down and took the chopsticks handed by the old man, saw that there was a poached egg in her bowl, and looked at Lu Yuan's bowl, there was also one, but the old man's bowl was just white water noodles.

"Why don't you eat eggs?" Shen Qing wanted to give her what was in her bowl, but she stopped her.

"No, no, no, I won't eat, I won't eat, you eat and you eat, children will grow up." After speaking, the old man may feel that his excuse is too bad, so he laughed twice to cover up, showing his mouth without front teeth. It was a scene of joy, but Shen Qing felt that her nose was sore, what kind of body did she have?

"That's good." Shen Qing didn't give in anymore, and ate the bowl in front of her.

"You can eat my bowl." Lu Yuan changed the untouched bowl with the old man's, took a mouthful of noodles with chopsticks, and ate, "My cholesterol is too high, the doctor won't let me eat eggs .”

The old man didn't understand either. He only heard the doctor say that he wouldn't eat it, so he stopped arguing and ate the poached eggs in the bowl with his head down.

Shen Qing looked at Lu Yuan, who bowed his head and sucked in noodles, and felt that this person lied without writing a script.

The noon sun shines in through the window above the gate, forming a golden mist with dust. The old man eats slowly, quietly, and slowly. Lu Yuan does not eat slowly, but he may It was because this scene was so warm that he unconsciously slowed down.

It was almost 01:30 in the afternoon when the three of them had finished their lunch. Shen Qing and Lu Yuan helped wash the dishes and cleaned up the house for the old man. Shen Qing stuffed 1000 yuan in cash under the old man's pillow while the old man was not paying attention. Tell the old man, the old man muttered that he couldn't take it, and before the old man entered the house to give him the money, Shen Qing dragged Lu Yuan away.

When the old man walked to the door again, everything in the alley returned to silence. The two young men seemed to have never been here, but the old man held the money in his hand, and she knew that they had been here.

It may be that there are too many sufferings in the world, but after grinding one by one, I finally feel that I have reached the end and see the light.

The old man held the money tightly in his withered hands, and put her back under the pillow. She thought, when Yu Qi came back, she would ask her to return the money.

Shen Qing was walking back to the hospital, her expression was not as relaxed as before, but her brows were tightened, even Lu Yuan was the same.

Some people have suffered for a lifetime, and thought they finally had light, but it was only for a moment.

"Lu Yuan..." Shen Qing sighed inaudibly, "Why do you think a person's life is so short?"

Lu Yuan didn't speak, but turned his head to look at the person beside him. The sunlight was torn apart by leaves and hit the delicate and thin side face of this person. He raised his head but lowered his eyes, his slender and thick eyelashes were blown by the breeze. Trembling slightly, her rosy lips were pursed, showing no expression.

"You said how useless a person's life is." Shen Qing didn't hear Lu Yuan's answer, and said to herself, "From birth, I have to taste all kinds of tastes in the world, sour, bitter, and spicy, but inside It’s just that it’s not sweet, and after suffering so much and suffering for so long, they will still grow old and die.” Shen Qing paused, as if thinking of something, then shook her head again, “Some people haven’t experienced what time brings to them. Old, she has endured so much hardship, but in the end her life was ended by someone else at a fancy age, life is really boring."

"But we still have to live on, no matter how much we suffer, people still have hope, right?" Lu Yuan put his arms around Shen Qing with one hand, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Um"

There is hope, but if the ultimate hope becomes a reality...

Lu Yuan...will you hate me...will you be sad...for me...
