Yao Luoxuan was wearing a plush cyan jacket, cropped jeans with his ankles turned up, stepping on a pair of small high-heeled black high-top shoes, specially applying some pink light makeup, and pinching the small gray satchel that had been in the wardrobe for a long time. Liu Ting was wearing a casual semi-open casual black suit with patterned buttons on the cuffs, a white knitted sweater, a pleated skirt, black stockings and small high heels, dressed like a girl. The youthful and energetic appearance of the two seems to be indistinguishable that they are both policemen.

The two agreed to go shopping together today. They met in a milk tea shop, and then each of them carried a large cup of milk tea, talked and laughed like sisters, and wandered the streets.

"I didn't expect us to ask for leave, but we all agreed. Liu Ting said with a smile: "In the past, when I was in the team, Lao Zhao always didn't approve this or that, and he made me like an old scalper who couldn't rest." Life in the traffic police force is so comfortable. In addition to standing on the road every morning and evening. ”

"Isn't the detective's side free?"

Liu Ting shook her head. "It depends on what kind of boss you follow. ”

"Lao Zhao is very abusive?" asked Yao Luoxuan.

Liu Ting nodded. "It's not just abuse, there's no way to grasp his train of thought. ”

"Whoever can solve the mystery is a good idea. ”

"But he can't inherit this way of thinking. ”

Yao Luoxuan took a sip of milk tea, then put the satchel on his shoulder, took out a cigarette from the bag, lit one for himself, and then asked Liu Ting, "Do you smoke?"

Liu Ting shook her head, "I haven't given birth yet." As she spoke, Liu Ting couldn't help but feel that her hand stroked the back of her head. This action has been repeated many times, and Liu Ting just didn't notice it. But Yao Luoxuan noticed.

"What's wrong with you over there?" Yao Luoxuan directly mentioned the action of stroking the back of his head.

"I don't know, it's been itchy since yesterday. ”

"I didn't run into anything. ”

Liu Ting pondered for a while and replied: "I was too thirsty when I went home the day before yesterday, and I drank a lot of cold water, and then it was like this." I guess it's a cold. Liu Ting didn't lie, she just hid a lot.

"I'm a little scared when I think of the back of my head. Yao Luoxuan said.

"yes, there's a bastard who just pierces the back of a person's head with a bamboo stick. It's wicked. Liu Ting said.

"Lao Zhao has been investigating before. Yao Luoxuan said in an unintentional tone, as if it was none of his business, and said in a casual tone.

Liu Ting scratched the back of her head again and said, "Sister Yao, didn't you say that you shouldn't talk about work?"

Yao Luoxuan walked, looked ahead, shook his head and said, "Don't talk about it, it's just a seventeen-year-old senior high school student who died, I feel a pity." ”

"It's eighteen years old, just an adult, and I just got my ID card two days ago. Speaking of this, Liu Ting showed an expression of just saying something, and hurriedly raised the milk tea and drank it.

Yao Luoxuan didn't answer, she stopped. A familiar figure led an equally familiar girl, half-embraced, and after the opposite street shook into another street, it disappeared from the crowd for a while. Liu Ting walked a few steps, saw Yao Luoxuan stop, turned around and asked, "Sister, what's wrong." ”

Yao Luoxuan smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was nothing. Liu Ting still kept her eyes open and observed for a while.

There are still so many people on the streets today, but most of them are students on the streets. Maybe because of yesterday. They walked together. With its own youthful charm, this bustling commercial street is rendered.

"As soon as these students are on vacation, they run around and don't know how to take advantage of this time to study. ”

Yao Luoxuan came back to her senses, yes, the figure she saw was Nian Hao. Nian Hao half-hugged Sun Qian, and it flashed in her eyes. Knowing that he couldn't feel this, Yao Luoxuan still felt lost.

"It's the same when we were in our third year of high school, as long as we relaxed, we immediately ran around, after all, youth is short-lived. Forgivable. Yao Luoxuan said.

Liu Ting pointed to the front of the street and said, "Look, the two children, estimated to be fourteen or fifteen years old, are kissing." ”

Yao Luoxuan raised his head, followed Liu Ting's direction, and sure enough, he saw two young children on the bus stop in front of him. The boy sat in the bus waiting seat while the girl sat on top of him, talking and laughing and kissing each other from time to time.

"When I was younger, in my junior year of high school, I didn't even dare to be alone with boys, and now it's too open. ”

"It's not that it's too open, but the existing mainstream colors only care about rendering the atmosphere of the times, regardless of whether the audience can distinguish between right and wrong. ”

"How?"

"For example, the current pop songs, chart-topping songs, either you love me, or you love you. Whether it's a TV show, a variety show, or even a movie, it's nondescript. ”

"Still, I do feel good, at least there is an illusion that blinds me from the pain around me. It's not always necessary, but I think about the value of myself every day. ”

Yao Luoxuan nodded, as if in agreement. "You didn't dare to be alone with boys when you were seventeen, but the age of my age is the age of desperate work with boys. ”

"Desperate?"

"Well, I should say fight with everyone. My time, just in time for the era of information explosion, everything is being fought for. I remember that our class was very hard, and for the sake of class ranking, we could even read until we vomited blood. I remember that there was always a boy who was ahead of me in his exams, and I hated that I even used the curse of stabbing the villain, thinking that he would kill me by a car tomorrow morning. I'm better than him, after all, more than one person symbolizes the killing of a thousand people. ”

"What kind of car hit him?" Liu Ting said jokingly.

Yao Luoxuan sneered, looked at Liu Ting, and said, "Who knows, it may be a Japanese car." ”

"And how is he now?"

"In the college entrance examination that year, his essay digressed, and his name fell to Sun Shan, and as a result, he stopped studying, and I haven't heard of him since then, so I don't know what is going on now. ”

"This shop is well dressed, take a look. Liu Ting changed the topic and pointed to the shop in front of her. There were a few dolls in front of the shop, dressed in very fashionable clothes. But looking through his transparent window, the neat clothes inside are particularly beautiful. When winter comes, almost all the shops have changed into thick winter clothes, and this store seems to be just a thin jacket with a little fluff.

After Yao Luoxuan was pulled to the store by Liu Ting, the two began to carefully select the clothes one by one.

"Sister, I see that almost all the casual clothes in your office are jackets, which suits you very well here. Liu Ting grabbed a piece of clothing and said, "Look, the light blue denim jacket is wide at the bottom, and it is very suitable for long legs like yours." ”

"What are you talking about? Yao Luoxuan said jokingly, but still took the clothes in Liu Ting's hand and looked at them.

"This kind of clothing was worn by a delinquent teenager when I was a student. Yao Luoxuan took a closer look and said. Then he took off the hook on his clothes, took off his cyan overset, and handed it to Liu Ting. After putting the dress on his body, Yao Luoxuan took a few steps forward and fiddled in front of the huge makeup mirror in the store.

"This is a good one, it's very young to wear on you. Liu Ting said.

Yao Luoxuan still took off this dress and changed back into his coat: "It's because I'm too young that it's not suitable for me." ”

"Isn't it good to look young?" asked Liu Ting.

"I'm in my thirties. Yao Luoxuan replied.

"If you always keep your age in mind, life won't be fun. ”

"Then you buy it. Yao Luoxuan said.

Liu Ting shook her head, hung up the dress, pinched another one, and said, "I'm not suitable for this, I'm still suitable for the cute type." After speaking, Liu Ting hung up the clothes in her hand again and said to Yao Luoxuan, "Let's take a look at the others." ”

Yao Luoxuan nodded.

The two walked out of the store. Liu Ting drank all the milk tea in her hand and threw it into the trash can next to her. Liu Ting said: "I want to keep a young mentality all the time, although I am also twenty-eight, I still feel that I am only eighteen years old." ”

Yao Luoxuan looked Liu Ting up and down, and said, "You are not dressed like this, and it is not what a student should have now." ”

"When I was a kid, I loved watching Japanese TV, and I thought the girls in it were very young and fashionable, so I always wanted their school clothes. Once I bought it secretly, and when I wore it out, my dad saw it and scolded him. But when I grew up, I had a career of my own, and I didn't live with my parents, so I always bought this kind of clothing that resembled school clothes. I feel so young when I wear this. ”

"Not bad reason. However, the reality is that you are twenty-eight years old. ”

"So, try to live at the age you like. ”

Try to live at the age you want.

When Yao Luoxuan heard this, his heart fluttered. Since she got married, she has defined herself as a qualified wife, and then she has become a qualified mother. I've forgotten a lot about the era I wanted. It may have been like this since Yao Luoxuan was a child, she lived at the age she should have lived, and once she exceeded this age, she forgot all the generalities and struggled towards the step she had already taken. What do I really want? Now I have forgotten, but I know that I am a wife, a mother. That's all.

"Well, but that's not good. Liu Ting continued: "My boyfriend doesn't like my mentality. I have been with him for five years, but what have I said about these five years?" (It is mentioned here in Chapter 13 Harmony.) ）

"Five years?" Yao Luoxuan comforted: "We're getting along well now." ”

Liu Ting nodded: "Everyone cares about this relationship very much, it's just that he has grown up, but I am still here at that time." ”

"If you say that, he has always allowed you to be young, which means that he cares about you. ”

"But that's it, I don't feel anything now. Even, when I slept with him, it felt like a need, not a natural one. Liu Ting smiled lightly and said, "I'm ashamed." ”

"Nope. This shows that you have grown up, and the two of you are together, not always maintaining the original state, but inseparable from this state. ”

Liu Ting didn't answer, just smiled lightly.

Yao Luoxuan looked at this smile, knowing that there was a trace of bitterness in it, and asked, "What's the matter? Did you quarrel? Or what's wrong." ”

"Nothing. ”

"I don't feel like I need him that much. Liu Ting sighed and said heavily: "Sister, don't laugh, now I feel that I am more comfortable than him with my hands." ”

"It's kind of incredible. ”

"Sister, I said so, and you don't break the news?"

"What else is there to say. If you really want to hear it, I tell you, I keep it with my husband twice a week, and occasionally, it will increase. ”

"Don't you feel annoyed?"

"What's so annoying, it's a must. ”

"Haven't thought you've ever had anything to do with anyone else?"

Hearing this, Yao Luoxuan looked at Liu Ting suspiciously. Liu Ting's face smirked, a very natural and lovely state, and it was not as sincere as other purposes.

"Have you thought about it?" Yao Luoxuan asked rhetorically.

Liu Ting nodded: "I don't know why last time, I met with a boy who Team Zhao asked me to investigate, and it suddenly occurred to me that it seemed that this boy would do that with me at night." ”

Without waiting for Yao Luoxuan to make a gesture, Liu Ting added: "But I don't know when I go home, maybe it's my own accidental idea." But seriously, this isn't the first time, I've been in contact with a lot of men since I graduated. There are a lot of temptations, and to be honest, I'm not a good girl, I had three boyfriends in college, and almost all of them lived together. It's just that now that I have this boyfriend, I've never had anything to do with anyone else. Maybe it's the responsibility, or maybe I'm aware of the situation. ”

"It's normal for a girl to think of spring, and when the age comes, you'll know how stupid this is. ”

"I don't feel stupid. ”

"You're always targeting me. ”

"You're going to be targeted by me. ”

The words fell, and the two laughed at the same time. At the same time, I entered the next store. The two of them picked among them for a while, and after not feeling the right thing, they went to the next one, and in three hours, the two walked only three streets. Girls choose clothes so slowly and carefully, that time is often like this, and it is often like this.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them were hungry and came to a fancy restaurant. This kind of restaurant generally consumes more than five hundred per person, and for ordinary people, this kind of place is a place where it is difficult to come once, or because of its price, but for these two women, the consumption of this kind of place is trivial. The two each ordered steak, juice, and vegetable soup. Yao Luoxuan asked for two more foie gras, and she told Liu Ting that the French foie gras in this shop was particularly delicious. Liu Ting nodded, she had only heard it before, but she had never enjoyed it. I can't help but be full of hope.

"The boy you fantasized about is Nian Hao. Yao Luoxuan suddenly said this when he was cutting the steak with a knife.

Liu Ting froze, and she put down the movements in her hand. "Well, yes. ”

"Lao Zhao arranged for you to come to my side because of Nian Hao's relationship. ”

"Yes. Liu Ting affirmed again, and then said, "I'm sorry, Sister Yao." ”

"It doesn't matter, if you want, you can always be a sister to me. Yao Luoxuan smiled lightly and used his fork to put a small piece of cut beef into his mouth.

"I'm sorry. Liu Ting said.

"It's okay, there's so much going on around this kid. Moreover, you were transferred from Lao Zhao's side, didn't you obviously investigate me. ”

"You already knew. ”

"The first time I received the order, I thought about it. ”

Liu Ting was very embarrassed, she couldn't help but pick up the cup and take a big sip of the juice.

"Tell us about your impression of him?" asked Yao Luoxuan.

"I didn't have much of an impression, it was the first contact, and I actually imagined that he was pressing on me!" Liu Ting said with a sigh.

"Didn't Lao Zhao remind you?"

"What?"

"This kid might have an ability. ”

"No, it won't. ”

"How to explain the murder of bamboo sticks, the first time it was excusable, and the second time it was explained by common sense. ”

"Okay, what's the ability? Is it to make a girl fantasize about his ability?"

"Not really. Yao Luoxuan cut off a quick beef again and stuffed it into his mouth, he was too tired from a morning of shopping, and he really needed food supplements. "It's just vaguely a bit of a similarity. ”

"Have you had such an experience?" asked Liu Ting.

Yao Luoxuan didn't answer, and said, "I don't know if Lao Zhao's investigation is in the same direction as mine, but as women, our intuition will know this inexplicable fact." ”

"What about your intuition?" asked Liu Ting. Yao Luoxuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Liu Ting continued: "Sister Yao, do you want to know what Team Zhao asked me to investigate you?"

Yao Luoxuan still shook his head: "You don't need to tell me this." You investigate yours, and I do what I have to do. ”

Liu Ting stared at Yao Luoxuan's expression, feeling that she didn't find anything, she also moved the knife, got herself a piece of beef, and then took a sip of juice. After swallowing, Liu Ting said: "Maybe something we can't mention in our hearts has been touched." I was subtly touched. Psychology has such a hint. ”

"Everyone has something different in their hearts, but what if it never happened?"

"Never happened?" Li Ting said in surprise. Then she fell silent.

The waiter came and placed the foie gras in two small porcelain bowls in front of them, and picked up the black sauce. gave each of them a little bit, and then made a very nice gesture of please.

"That's good. Liu Ting cut a little foie gras and ate it: "I didn't expect it to be so delicious." ”

"Do you know what the price is?"

"Seven hundred and eighty-eight one, can it be so expensive if it's not delicious?"

Hearing this price, Liu Ting was dumbfounded: "A foie gras is so expensive." ”

"Foie gras is not expensive, the sauce is not expensive, it is the craftsmanship that is expensive. The practice of foie gras is nothing more than pickling, frying. But how long to marinate, what ingredients to use, how much temperature to fry and what ingredients to put in. That's the key. After marinating for a long time, the taste of foie gras will change its tone. If the marinade is short, not only can the fishy smell not be removed, but the taste will also be greatly reduced. The frying process is more stringent, with oil temperature, time, and the angle of flipping, as well as the juice that is constantly added to the frying. These factors are not something that can be learned in a while. This will require years of silence in this technology before it can exist. It's expensive, and there's always a reason for it. ”

Liu Ting picked up a little, glanced at it, put it in her mouth again, and slowly tasted the taste.

"You just don't have to be affected by him. Yao Luoxuan mentioned Nian Hao again. "One more thing, don't get too attached to these inexplicable and wonderful things. ”

"It's not that excessive. Liu Ting said.

"Hopefully. ”

"Sister Yao, have you been affected?" asked Liu Ting.

"How can I say it? More or less, it's impossible to get rid of it if you touch it. ”

"What kind of impact?"

Yao Luoxuan shook her head, she didn't know herself, although life was still a real life, but her attitude had changed at least a little. But this kind of change can be controlled by yourself. At this time, I suddenly thought of this, and found that my original thinking was too complicated, I just need to follow my own path, and the extra scenery should not be tempted to go, relying on this attitude, you can get rid of everything.

The two of them spent more than an hour eating in this restaurant. Yao Luoxuan called the waiter to settle the bill, but the card he had been using was told that it was locked. Yao Luoxuan frowned, and switched to his other credit card before paying for the meal.

The two returned to the street again. Maybe it says it all, the relationship between the two has become easier.

"We go on with our lives, we go to our classes, we do our jobs, and we don't care about anything else. Yao Luoxuan said decisively, "Moreover, we don't want to be casual women, right?" ”

"Hmm. Liu Ting said with certainty: "However, Sister Yao, my boyfriend is proposing to me again, what should I do." ”

"You refused before?"

"Yes. ”

"How many times?"

"More than ten times. ”

"What was the reason before, what is still the reason. Yao Luoxuan suggested: "However, you are now twenty-eight years old, and it is time to consider getting married." Otherwise, when you are old, it will take many twists and turns to have a child. ”

But in a blink of an eye, Liu Ting's boyfriend had already proposed more than ten times, and Yao Luoxuan immediately added again: "Your boyfriend has proposed more than ten times, but you don't agree, I'm not afraid of breaking his heart." ”

"There's always a way to comfort him, and he's all living with me, isn't that the same?" Liu Ting explained.

"This kind of thing, you still need to grasp a degree, a person who can live with you for a lifetime, you can't hurt him like this. Yao Luoxuan continued to persuade.

Liu Ting nodded, then touched the back of her head, and sighed: "Am I a little cynical?"

"No, seriously. Yao Luoxuan said: "Afraid of getting married, everyone has such a problem." However, it's not clear to me why you're afraid to get married?"

"A responsibility. Maybe I have to explain it like this, I really can't say anything else, I don't want to get married anyway. It has always been that way, and it still is. ”

After that, the two broke up at nightfall. Yao Luoxuan returned home, her husband had already prepared dinner, and the family of a son and a daughter snuggled together and ate comfortably. After that, the two spent a considerable amount of time with their children, until they fell asleep at ten o'clock in the evening.

"You're not going out for a run?" Han Chen suddenly asked Yao Luoxuan.

Yao Luoxuan shook his head: "I suddenly don't want to think about it today." ”

"I'm tired. Han Chen gently rubbed Yao Luoxuan's shoulder, and said very lovingly: "If you're tired, go to bed early." ”

Yao Luoxuan agreed, and then the two turned off the lights and lay on the bed. After the two talked for a while, Han Chen turned over and pressed on Yao Luoxuan.

After a period of encouragement, Han Chen fell asleep contentedly. And Yao Luoxuan got up and walked to the balcony alone. She looked up at the sky and saw that the moonlight was just right, and although it was only half a circle, it was still beautiful. Yao Luoxuan didn't think about life, nor did he think about anything else, just quietly looked at the moonlight. Until, the pendulum clock in the living room struck twelve times, announcing the beginning of a new day. Yao Luoxuan felt slightly sleepy, she turned around and found that everything seemed to have changed. In the living room, the TV was turned on at some point, playing a boring TV. A man and a woman were sitting on the couch, facing the TV. The man is holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the screen clearly shows that it is an online game, while the woman's hair covers her face, and she can't see what her face is.

Yao Luoxuan opened his mouth wide, at a loss. She slowly stepped into the room, soft as if she had touched a sponge. It seems that the feet are not stepping on their own world. As soon as she took a step, Yao Luoxuan retracted her feet, and she stared over, trying to see the man's face clearly, but she couldn't see clearly, as if hidden in the darkness. The woman with her hair covering her face couldn't see clearly, as if she was hiding in the dark.

A tear fell, touching some kind of longing in the bottom of my heart. This picture, I remember. Yao Luoxuan mentally remembered the deepest memories that had been hidden in his memory. In her memory, the girl was her, and the man next to her was her first love. At the end of the third year of high school, Yao Luoxuan was moved by a boy, the original reason has been forgotten, but she knows that that night, she came to the boy's house and accompanied the boy like this.

Yao Luoxuan was scared, they didn't have smartphones, but they didn't have this kind of huge online game. Has everything, everything that has happened, changed?
