Time keeps ticking, and life goes on. Whether it is a student, a salaryman, a self-employed person, or a writer, they are all the same, repeating their boring and somewhat boring life day after day.

For Linuo, if there is anything different, it may be that there are more and more contacts with him, and the previous rejection is slowly decreasing. But Linuo knew that as long as she still had concerns in her heart, then the relationship between them would be limited to this, and there was no possibility of further progress. No one knows her heart better than her, and she must admit that she loves him from the bottom of her heart, and has not lost a single cent because of the passage of time. But she didn't want to embarrass him, it was a problem for him. It's like the proposition, the daughter-in-law and the mother fell into the water at the same time, who should you save as a husband?

Feng Tuo could naturally feel the change in herself, but after the joy, the stagnant relationship made him start to return to the original question, why did she suddenly propose to break up, and she was so determined.

On this day, in the professor's office, Linuo, who helped sort out the case materials, received a message from Zhang Xiao.

"If you have time, how about going to the school gate to receive a courier?" At this time, Zhang Xiao, who had finished sending the message, was waiting at the gate of the OUHK with a rose in her hand, full of anticipation, mixed with a little excitement and nervousness.

Li Nuo looked at the news with some doubts, thinking that the work in hand was almost completed, explained the situation to the professor, and walked towards the school gate.

Linuo walked on the boulevard leading to the gate, looked up and saw the "courier" holding the rose, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Hello, may I ask who this courier is..."

Zhang Xiao looked at Linuo's expression and was very satisfied, "Surprised, this is for you." As he spoke, he handed the bouquet to Linuo.

Linuo was stunned for a moment, but still reached out to take it, "I prefer lily of the valley to roses." ”

"Lily of the valley?" Zhang Xiao was stunned, what kind of flower is this, why haven't I heard of it, and I thought in my heart that I must check it when I am free.

"The roses are too bright, but thank you anyway. Then again, you're here on a business trip?"

Zhang Xiao shook her head, "I applied for secondment to the Ministry of Public Security for one year. I'll tell you that the province sent a notice before, so I'll sign up quickly..."

Linuo paused when he heard this, "Why did you suddenly think of coming here for a secondment, and it has been so long." ”

Zhang Xiao hesitated slightly, but quickly covered up the past and walked forward by herself, "Also...... It's nothing, I just want to come over to exercise myself and broaden my horizons. ”

Linuo followed behind him and nodded, "Then where do you live, have you arranged it?"

"Well, the ministry originally arranged a hotel. But my parents were worried that they wouldn't eat well, so I stayed here this year. ”

"What, here?"

"Yes, my father's old classmate was a professor at OUHK, and the house allocated by the school was vacant, so he let me live for the time being. Zhang Xiao looked at Linuo, "I'll live over there in the future, the house behind your doctor's building, are you interested in accompanying me to see it?" Zhang Xiao said and shook the key she had just gotten at her.

Linuo nodded, "It's good that you live here, it's more convenient to be able to cook and eat by yourself." However, it's a lot farther from here to where you go to work, at least an hour early to squeeze into the morning rush hour. I've experienced it once and I'll never forget it. ”

Zhang Xiao spread her hands and said in a relaxed tone, "Fortunately, the subway is quite convenient, and it is healthier to squeeze." ”

Two hours later, after simply tidying up the house, Zhang Xiao proposed to Linuo to go out for dinner together.

She was a little confused, "Uh... I made an appointment with a friend in advance in the evening, if you don't mind, together?"

Zhang Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Friend, you've only been here for two months and you've made new friends?"

Linuo waved his hand, "No, I've been an old friend for more than ten years, and I will make an appointment to go out to eat every week, isn't it Friday, and I will make an appointment with them at seven o'clock in the evening." ”

"That's... I don't mind, you know, I still love making friends. ”

Linuo smiled, noncommittal, and looked at the time, "Then we have to leave quickly, so as not to be punished for drinking." ”

Zhang Xiao joked, "It's okay, my amount of alcohol is okay." ”

Here, Zhang Zhang and Feng Tuo came out of the company together. Feng Tuo is still the same, but the tension has changed a little, and most of the original half-length hair has been cut off, which looks much fresher and sunny.

"I heard Meng Yao say that Linuo will bring a friend today, it is said that he is still a man, don't you wonder who it is?" Zhang Zhang glanced at Feng Tuo on the side.

Feng Tuo raised his eyes, "Just say what you know, don't be sloppy here." ”

"You're really boring", Zhang Zhang said dissatisfied, "I inquired with Meng Yao, that kid is an old colleague of Linuo, and the relationship is not bad." ”

"That's all. Feng Tuo rolled his eyes at him.

"How could that be all! He liked to leave the promise for several years, and he confessed. That kid came to City B for her, so you have to have a sense of crisis. Zhang Zhang said with a wicked smile.

"I feel this every day I spend with her. Feng Tuo raised the corners of his mouth, "I confessed, it seems that I was rejected." ”

Zhang Zhang pursed his lips, "You said that you haven't been together again, it's such a big sour smell, if you're together, then it's okay, I guess I have to be eaten dog food every day." ”

Feng Tuo continued to purse his lips, "By the way, I may have to go back to country A next month." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhang listened to his words and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that there is something wrong with Feng Yun's side, shouldn't it?" ”

"No, I'm going to see my mom and ask her something. Feng Tuo looked out the window, "My gut told me that my mother should have gone to look for her ten years ago. ”

Zhang Zhang turned his head to look at Feng Tuo, "Wouldn't it?"

"I'll find out when I go back and ask. Feng Tuo looked outside, "It's here, I'll talk about this later." ”

"Why don't you ask Meng Yao later?" Zhang Zhang suggested.

Feng Tuo shook his head at him, "Forget it, there's no need to embarrass her." ”

The two walked and chatted to the pre-booked private room and found that Meng Yao and Liu Yu had arrived.

"I brought my boyfriend, no problem. Meng Yao looked at the two people who came in and joked.

"You said so, we don't dare to mention our opinions, Feng Tuo, you said yes, right?" Zhang Zhang sat down beside Meng Yao, "The waiter poured two cups of tea." ”

"I didn't come for nothing, I pay for it today. Liu Yu said.

"Don't mind, it's not appropriate for us to make up the bill. Shan Meng Yao came to buy it, you can give the money, after all, she called you to come, didn't she?" Zhang Zhang continued to tease, Meng Yao grabbed the melon seeds on the table and threw them at him.

Feng Tuo sat next to Zhang Li and didn't say a word, but his eyes kept staring at the door, really wanting to see who Linuo brought for a while.

After a while, Linuo led Zhang Xiao in.

"Why did you come, you will be punished in a while, remember Ao. Meng Yao looked at the two people who walked in and hurriedly joked.

Linuo hurriedly flattered, "Okay, okay, I'll eat more in a while." ”

Feng Tuo looked Zhang Xiao up and down, and then motioned to Linuo to introduce, "Why, you also brought someone today, the boyfriend Meng Yao brought, so who did you bring?"

As soon as Zhang Xiao entered the door, he carefully observed the few people present, especially Feng Tuo, who had different things in his eyes. Hearing his words, Zhang Xiao stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Feng Tuo friendly, "I am Zhang Xiao, a colleague from the previous unit. ”

"It turned out to be a colleague. Feng Tuo repeated his words, as if to emphasize Zhang Xiao's status in Linuo, which was no different from him. But the more Feng Tuo is like this, the more people around him can see it, that is, he is jealous.

"Not just a colleague, but also her admirer, and I'm courting her. ”

Linuo didn't expect Zhang Xiao to say this, and she was inevitably stunned, not only her, but everyone present was stunned. Zhang Zhang stared at Zhang Xiao with a good look on his face, this brother can, he found the right object as soon as he came, and he was so provocative, but Feng Tuo was not afraid of this.

Feng Tuo narrowed his eyes and shook the seemingly friendly hand, "Feng Tuo, it's a coincidence, I'm also chasing her, so it seems that we are rivals in love." ”

Zhang Xiao smiled, "Fair competition should be good." ”

"Fair competition?" Feng Tuo said, his eyes skimmed over Zhang Xiao and looked at Linuo on the side, "However, I still have an identity, her ex-boyfriend." ”

"Oh, aren't you in country A?" Zhang Xiao still looked at Feng Tuo with a smile.

Listening to Zhang Xiao's words, Feng Tuo's eyes leaked coldness, "Naturally, I came back to arrest people, the people who slipped away quietly ten years ago." ”

Meng Yao looked at Linuo and found that she was clasping her fingers again, and hurriedly patted the tension on the side, signaling him to find a way to stop some childish vindictiveness.

Zhang Zhang stopped laughing and hurriedly stepped forward, "Let's sit down, the dishes should be ready, let's talk while eating, how about it?"

Li Nuo thought that Zhang Xiao had just arrived, and motioned for him to sit down, but this action had another meaning in Feng Tuo's eyes.

"Mr. Liu, in order to welcome new friends, how about we drink liquor today?" Feng Tuo opened his mouth to propose, and after speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiao beside him, as if asking his opinion.

"Yes, I have Wuliangye in the car. Liu Yu saw Feng Tuo's unhappiness, and hurriedly responded, "I don't know this brother..."

"I'm fine. Zhang Xiao is naturally in response.

"You guys are really... In this case, Liu Yu, you sit next to the tension, and I don't drink with Linuo, but sit together. Meng Yao looked at them a little helplessly, "Zhang Li, if you don't drink it today, lest you all get drunk, we can't guarantee that we can send you back peacefully." ”

Zhang Zhang glanced at Liu Yu on the side with his spare eyes, "Don't, it's all drunk, it's inappropriate for me not to drink." Besides, I haven't had a drink for a long time, so I just have a good drink today. ”

Linuo patted Zhang Xiao's arm sideways and met his gaze, "You just arrived today, otherwise forget it." ”

When Feng Tuo saw this, the anger in his eyes deepened, "What, can't Brother Zhang go to work tomorrow?"

"Feng Tuo, don't do this. The police are different from you, they must be on call 24 hours a day! If something happens to the unit tomorrow, what's the matter with the smell of alcohol!" Linuo was a little angry, his voice unconsciously raised, and his words were also filled with resentment. At the end of the day, she just didn't like the atmosphere. Meng Yao on the side pulled her and signaled her not to get angry.

Zhang Xiao turned her head and smiled at Linuo, "It's okay, don't worry, I only reported on Monday." ”

Zhang Xiao said this, and Linuo had no choice but to give up. Meng Yao got up and asked Liu Yu for the car keys, pulled up Linuo, and went out to get wine.

Meng Yao held her and said a little excitedly, "I really like this Zhang Xiao, take the initiative to attack, it's too manly." And the way he looks at you, he can drown a person!"

"Stop, I'm just embarrassed! If I had known that the two of them would react like this, I wouldn't have brought him here. Linuo said angrily.

"But the first time we met, he saw that Feng Tuo was interesting to you, I don't know if Feng Tuo was too outward, or Zhang Xiao was too sensitive. However, if you can make Feng Tuo like that, you are also a character!" Meng Yao shook off Nuo's arm, "You are so happy, such two excellent men are going toe-for-tat for you, it's too exciting, it's completely an idol drama." ”

"I'm going to advise you to watch less Mary Sue TV series and be sober, okay?

"You really are, can you be less rational and realistic. It's better to enjoy your Mary Sue life and relax than if you were tense all day. Meng Yao felt that Linuo was a little boring, but when she saw her roll her eyes again, she immediately admitted, "Okay, okay, then let's analyze your current problem rationally." Feng Tuo, you have concerns in your heart. Then just try it with Zhang Xiao, and you didn't have any problems before. ”

"Why are you talking more and more, I like Feng Tuo in my heart, and then go to date Zhang Xiao, this is very against the morality in my heart, okay!" Li Nuo said and raised his foot to kick Meng Yao on the side, but the latter hurriedly dodged.

"Look at you, the reason I haven't been in love for so long is that I'm too sensible. Feelings must be blessed by impulse, if you are like this, you will wait for the lonely old age!" Meng Yao ran forward as she spoke, and after finding the car, she opened the trunk and made a difficulty, "I forgot to ask how many bottles I wanted to take, what should I do?"

"How many bottles are there?" asked Lino as he followed.

"There was a box in the car. ”

"Do you know how much Liu Yu drinks?" asked Linuo as he looked at it.

"Hmm... I really don't know about that. Meng Yao thought for a while and said.

"In that case, then take four bottles, it should be about the same. Take advantage of today's opportunity, you can ask Liu Yu to drink more and see how the wine goes. Linuo raised his chin at Meng Yao as he spoke.

"Hey, that's a good idea!" he said, raising his right hand and high-fived Linuo, "If the wine is good, then I can consider whether to marry him." ”

Li Nuo laughed when he heard this, "Who told me before that he didn't want to come?"

"I'm really struggling right now. Let's get married, I don't think the relationship is enough. But he has mentioned it several times, and if he refuses, I am afraid that I will miss him, and I will not find a more suitable person for him in the future. Meng Yao said and frowned, "Last week, he asked me to accompany him to see the house, and he said that he wanted to change to a bigger house, but in fact, I understood that it was the wedding room he prepared." ”

"You, you persuaded me just now, but you can't do it when it's your turn. Linuo took the two bottles and hugged them in his arms, "Since you can't feel it, then don't force it, save yourself from regret." ”

Meng Yao took out two more bottles and hugged them into her arms, pressed the button, watched the trunk close automatically, locked the car door, and kept up with Linuo.

"No, I don't want to put it off any longer. If you drag it any longer, you'll really become an old girl. ”

"Why do you even say such frustrating things? Linuo became serious when he heard this, "Don't forget what you said before, it's okay if you don't do it!"

"I'm not like you, my father doesn't care if my mother isn't there. If you are also urged to marry by seven aunts and eight aunts every day, you won't say that. Meng Yao complained with a sad face.

"What you said, don't forget that I have grandparents in their eighties, and you haven't heard how terrible their nagging is. Linuo cleared his throat as he spoke, "Xiaonuo, I don't have a boyfriend yet, I just had such a wish before I died with your grandmother, I wanted to see my grandson-in-law." I still have a few years with your grandmother, and you know your grandmother's current physical condition, maybe one day she will kick her leg and leave, do you want her to die?"

Meng Yao trembled when she heard this, "Uh... Forget it, you don't have too many options, it's not difficult to get married. But is Grandma in poor health?"

"I have begun to not remember things, I don't remember people. Linuo said in a somewhat low and depressed tone.

"Then in order to fulfill the wishes of the old man, you can quickly choose one of them to get married!" Meng Yao said unashamedly.

"Stop, I still want to marry the person I like, otherwise I'd rather die alone. "I said it in a straight way.

"You really are, and feelings can be cultivated well. There are many novels and TV series that don't love after marriage, aren't they also very happy?" Meng Yao persuaded.

"Don't talk about it, it's not a novel or a TV series all day long, please be realistic, those are all fiction, made up, okay?" Linuo retorted.

"I ask you to be realistic, who is still getting married for the sake of liking now, it's all because it's suitable, okay!" Meng Yao said unwillingly.

"Alas... Who's to say it's not, if it goes on like this, I'll probably have to bow my head and accept my fate. Lino sighed.

"What do you have to bow your head and accept your fate, the person you like is thousands of miles away, drifting across the ocean, just to recover you, how romantic it is~ As long as you agree, it will be no problem to get married immediately. Meng Yao didn't have a good breath, "Is it me who should accept my fate?"

"Come on, it's not much better on my side, if it's as easy as you say, why should I break up in the first place. Linuo said, "As long as Anya is here, this hurdle will not be passed, then we also want to be together and get married, it is really a fool's dream!"

"The two of us really share the same disease. Meng Yao looked at Linuo and smiled bitterly.

"Going to your place for a drink or two in the evening?" said Linuo, his mouth thumping.

"I don't know how long they'll toss, tomorrow. Liu Yu also gave a bottle of red wine in front of him, and he said that it was not bad, anyway, you go to my place, cook two dishes tomorrow, and taste them together?" Meng Yao proposed with a smile.

"Okay. Or ask Li Wei in a while and call her too. Last time I had dinner with her, I thought that girl was pretty good, what do you think?"

"Okay, I like her a lot, and it's fun together. Meng Yao said happily, "Okay, let's go in, I guess the dishes are ready." Linuo nodded.
