No matter how sleepy I was, I couldn't resist the hunger, especially when Yang Fan had already prepared dinner, and Han Yue didn't continue to talk to me, so I had to get up and eat dinner.

As soon as I walked out of the room and saw the table full of good food and wine, I was immediately stunned and immediately asked; No, Yang Fan, are you planning to celebrate the New Year in advance? What are you doing with such a table?"

Yang Fan walked out of the kitchen with a smile on his face, still holding two cups in his hands, "I have to work overtime for the next two days, and it is estimated that it is very late, didn't you say that I will go home the day after tomorrow? He put the glasses on the table and poured them the wine, "Come, drink two glasses with your buddy, no, you sit down, what are you doing standing?"

I've been drinking for the past few days, in fact, I don't want to drink anymore now, but seeing Yang Fan's face full of enthusiasm, I can't open my mouth to refuse his kindness.

"Okay, you wait for me to go to the bathroom, and then we'll come back and eat together." ”

"Go ahead. ”

In the bathroom, I washed my face in the mirror after going to the toilet, and under the biting cold water, I was awake, and then returned to the living room to enjoy this delicious meal with Yang Fan.

About halfway through dinner, Yang Fan and I had already drunk a lot of wine, and suddenly Han Yue replied to me with a message, I picked up my phone and looked at it, and quickly unlocked the screen.

"I just had something to deal with, and I thought about what I said. ”

Okay! Now that I've thought about it, I'll just say it, and I will continue to guess with fear, Yang Fan just wanted to toast with me, but I waved my hand and refused, "I have something here, reply to a message first, you wait." ”

After saying that, I turned to the other side with a cigarette in my mouth, and thought for a while before typing back: "What about the answer?"

"I ...... Sorry ......"

"Huh?" Although it was just a simple tone word, I already felt my heart sink when I saw her "I'm sorry".

"Lie to you, I promise you!" she then typed: "I discussed with my parents in the afternoon, saying that I was going to travel this year, they knew that I usually liked to travel, and I basically stayed in the company this year, so now that he has annual leave, my parents will readily agree~!"

"Really, really?"

"Yes, I'm already packing my luggage, remember to take me with you when you go home the day after tomorrow, let's go back to your hometown to taste what you called 'sunset drunk'!" Han Yue also added a "happy" emoji to the back.

"Okay!" I shouted at the scene while typing in reply to Han Yue, because it was so exciting!

"Hey, hey, what are you crazy about!" Yang Fan was frightened by my action.

I put my phone in front of Yang Fan, showed him the chat record between me and Han Yue just now, swayed my body, and sang proudly: "Single dog~Single dog, you are a single dog~"

"Oh, fuck off!" he looked at me with a speechless expression, then lowered his head and continued to eat.

……

The next day, I deliberately let myself sleep in a lazy night, waited until ten o'clock to get up, and then packed my luggage. After a meal, I took a walk outside, planning to find something to do while I still had some time in the afternoon.

This afternoon, I went to visit Fang Kai in a prison in the suburbs, and it has been more than half a year since I last visited him.

When I arrived at my destination, I sat opposite the soundproof glass and waited for Fang Kai, and after a short time he came out, and when he saw that it was me who came to visit him, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Fang Kai picked up the phone and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Cheng Ting, I didn't expect it to be you!"

I took a closer look at Fang Kai, compared with the last time I met, I found that his whole person's mental outlook was much better, his eyes were bright, except for his beard was a little long, but he gave people a feeling of vitality.

I smiled and asked, "How's it going, how are you doing?"

"It's good, my wife brought my son to visit me a few days ago, hey, don't say it, that little guy is so cute, as soon as he saw me, he called 'Dad', thanks to my wife, she said, during the time when her son was learning to speak, he took my photo every day and asked him to call 'Dad', so when he saw me in person, he blurted out almost out of instinct. Fang Kai's face was full of smiles, full of pride, "You, do you know how touched I was at that time!" he cried, laughing and laughing.

"I can imagine how touching that picture is, Brother Kai, you have married a good wife, this is really your blessing. I nodded in agreement.

Fang Kai kept sharing his happy things with me, I can understand what it feels like, being in a "dark" environment, there are few people around who can say a few words to you, but this does not affect the light in his heart, the light is not here, but brought in from the outside. People, we still have to grow towards the sun.

This time, Fang Kai also told me a good news, because of his good performance in the process of prison labor reform, his sentence was reduced, and he is expected to be released from prison at the beginning of next year, probably this time next year. Fang Kai said that this is the best New Year's gift he has received this year, and said that when he is released from prison, he will make up a full moon wine for his son, which does not need to be very grand, just invite three or five friends and relatives to participate together, and I was naturally included in the list by him.

After visiting Fang Kai, I went to the cemetery again and bought a bouquet of flowers to visit Annanhua. When I came to his tomb, I was surprised to find that the location around the tombstone was clean, and there was a bouquet of flowers in front of it, judging from the freshness of the flowers, it would not take more than two days at most, which was obviously someone who had been here for a long time, but I didn't know if it was blue jade or ...... Annie.

I stood silent for a moment, then half-crouched and gently placed the flower in front of me, and just looked at the tombstone for a long time. I didn't say a lot of heartfelt words to the tombstone like the TV series, I took all those things I wanted to say to heart - nothing else, I just hope that this case can be closed soon, so that Anne and Sapphire can be burdened in their hearts.

......

On the last night of staying in Guangzhou before going home for the Chinese New Year, Qi Min asked me and Han Yue to go to his house for dinner, of course I agreed to this kind of good thing, I still remember the last time I went to his house for dinner, I still miss the food cooked by his mother, it is simply endless!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, I drove to the community to pick up Han Yue and go to Qi Min's house together. On the way, I found that Han Yue seemed to have something on her mind, and she didn't say a few words.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly, slowing down and looking at her.

Han Yue thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Cheng Ting, according to previous years, at this time of year, Wang Hao and his family will make an appointment with us for a dinner party, this habit has lasted for more than ten years, but this year, let alone holding a dinner, there is not even a little rumor, and my father can't contact Wang Hao and his family for the time being." As she spoke, the expression on Han Yue's face became worried.

Although the name "Wang Hao" made me feel very uncomfortable when I heard it, I also knew that Han Yue didn't mean anything else, and it was completely out of friendship concerns, so I didn't show my emotions too much.

I asked, "When was the last time you met Wang Hao?"

Han Yue's face showed a look of memory, "It seems to be ...... It was probably more than a month ago, when he was fine, but it just felt like he had a lot of things on his mind. ”

"What's on your mind?"

"Well, Cheng Ting, do you think he will be in some trouble?"

"No way, he arranged to lie on the ...... I have to make it clear, after Jiashi was miserable last time, now his vitality is greatly damaged, and he doesn't know if he can revitalize it in the market, which will probably be busy how to make the market of the phantom sound he has a stake in!" I originally wanted to say the sentence "He arranged for an undercover agent to go undercover in our utopia and leak the information of our Jiashi", but I felt that it was not good to tell Han Yue about it, so I immediately changed my words.

"Cheng Ting, you know that I don't have other ideas, just caring about Wang Hao purely out of friendship, you shouldn't have too much emotion. ”

"I know. ”

After saying this, I stopped talking, and soon we also came to Qi Min's house, and it was time to put away our emotions.

Qi Min also warmly beckoned us into the house, and the dining room had already prepared a table full of Han people, which was even more exaggerated than the banquets set up in the hotels outside, but Qi Min's parents were still in the kitchen and continued to prepare meals, Han Yue and I took the initiative to go in to help, but we were immediately politely "kicked out" by Qi Min's mother.

"It's coming, come, sit down. Xu Mengjun covered her big belly with one hand, and motioned for us to sit down with the other, and each step was slow and light.

"Yo, you have to take it easy, you're the one who should sit down. I quickly smiled and replied to her.

Xu Mengjun sat down with a smile, behaving generously like a good wife and mother, and really became much more virtuous, not as hot as before. Han Yue smiled, walked to Xu Mengjun's side, and took her hand, "You're about to give birth, right?"

"It's coming, he's kicking my stomach every day, he's more anxious than me, I guess I'm going to give birth this month. Xu Mengjun replied with a smile.

I didn't get too involved in the chat between women, but went out with Qi Min to smoke a cigarette. He lit the cigarette and took a puff, then looked at me with a smile and asked, "Tomorrow you will take your beloved woman home to meet your parents for the New Year, are you mentally prepared?"

"To be honest, no. ”

"Suddenly drove the car back, and there was a big beauty in the car, Cheng Ting, you are not a surprise, it is simply a fright, I can't imagine how your parents will react when they see this scene. He took another puff of cigarette, "You said that you are really, it's been so long, why don't you call your family in advance to explain, it's good to be mentally prepared." ”

I chuckled, "Because I always feel that I am not good enough, I have less time to go home, and I have formed a strange habit when I go to college: every time I go home, I have to take a long time to go home, but every time I go home, I have to bring good news to my family, just like I used to report good news to my family when I got a good score in school, and ah, I really don't think it's good news, at my age, there are a lot of people who are better than me!"

"You're just doing it!"

"It's time to eat, come back quickly. Qi Min's mother's voice came from the house, Qi Min replied "Come", and the two of us reluctantly took a puff of cigarettes, and then turned around and went into the house.
