Outside the small courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Xingru sat in Dong Haining's car.

"Go home. Dong Haining looked at her and said.

Shen Xingru nodded, glanced at him, and quickly withdrew his gaze and opened the car door.

After taking a few steps, Dong Haining's voice came from behind him: "I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow." ”

Shen Xingru couldn't help but turn around and said, "So early?"

Dong Haining nodded and said: "Our hospital has set up a medical team to aid Hubei, the epidemic is serious over there, and many people have died. ”

Shen Xingru: "Will it be dangerous?"

Dong Haining: "There will be a little, but I will try to protect myself." ”

Shen Xingru: "Hmm. ”

Dong Haining: "You'll think about it seriously, right?"

Shen Xingru nodded.

Dong Haining: "Go, accompany your aunt for the next few days of the Chinese New Year." ”

Shen Xingru pursed her lips involuntarily, turned around and walked into the house.

Dong Haining watched her enter the house, sat in the car for a while, and then drove away.

The clock strikes midnight.

Shen Xingru was already asleep leaning on the side of Shen's mother's bed, but was awakened by a call from her mobile phone.

It's a call to the evening.

Shen Xingru walked out of the door lightly and returned to his room before picking up the phone.

There was a cacophony of sounds on the phone, followed by the voice of Xiang Wanwan.

"Honey, Happy New Year!"

Shen Xingru smiled and said, "Happy New Year, late night, have fun in Tokyo?"

Xiang Wanwan: "Happy!

Shen Xingru: "Well, it's good to be happy." Hey, did you drink?"

Xiang Wanwan nodded on the other end of the phone and said, "Mmmmmmmm

Shen Xingru: "Your tone has drifted to outer space, it's hard not to hear it!"

Xiang Wanwan: "Teacher Su took me to the izakaya for New Year's Eve, and I saw the drums just now!"

Shen Xingru: "Where did you go today?"

Xiang Wanwan: "I went to the art museum, visited Hermes, and bought a lot of bags. ”

Shen Xingru smiled: "Cure all diseases." But are you obedient and wearing a mask?"

Xiang Wanwan exclaimed, "Ahhh

She found a mask and put it on, and then clicked on Su Jingao's chest muscles and said, "Wear a mask!"

Su Jingao also obediently put on a mask.

Xiang Wanwan continued to say to Shen Xingru on the other side of the phone: "Wear it on!"

Shen Xingru: "You must remember, you have to wear it every day, this virus spreads very quickly, maybe it has been passed earlier, you must be careful." ”

Xiang Wanwan: "Okay!"

Shen Xingru: "Where are you going tomorrow?"

Xiang Wanwan: "Go to Hakone for a hot spring." ”

Shen Xingru: "Enjoy." ”

Xiang Wanwan: "What about you, what did you do today?"

Shen Xingru groaned slightly and said, "In addition to being at home with my mother, I just went to a class reunion." ”

Xiang Wanwan: "High school classmates?"

Shen Xingru: "Hmm. ”

Xiang Wanwan: "Isn't that also your high school classmate? Did you see him today?"

Shen Xingru: "I saw it." ”

Xiang Wanwan's gossip soul was instantly ignited, and said, "Tell me quickly, what situation, what emotion?"

Shen Xingru smiled: "It's not as dramatic as you think." ”

Xiang Wanwan: "But according to the situation of the last time you went to his house, how embarrassing it would be for you to see him again." Or did he explain it to you?"

Shen Xingru: "No. ”

Xiang Wanwan: "That's?"

Shen Xingru: "We just said two words calmly. There may be a lot to cross if you're serious. ”

Xiang Wanwan: "For example?"

Shen Xingru: "He wants me not to be Xiuyuan's defense lawyer and stay away from that case." ”

Xiang Wanwan: "He's forcing you to choose between a new love and an old love!"

Shen Xingru: "Maybe." ”

Xiang Wanwan: "Then what do you think? Are you going to give up the senior's case? In fact, it is the same to hand it over to Qin Mu, he will definitely do his best." ”

Shen Xingru: "He has been in my heart for so long, it is not just love, he has long become a part of my life." ”

Xiang Wanwan: "Then you, as the defendant's defense lawyer, will definitely confront the prosecution's expert witnesses in court." ”

Shen Xingru: "So, I promised him that he would think about it seriously and where to go." ”

Xiang Wanwan: "It's so difficult! If it were me, I might not know what to do." ”

Shen Xingru smiled: "You have Su Jingao now, you don't have to think about it so much." ”

Xiang Wanwan looked at Su Jingao beside her, and said with a smile: "He is really good to me." Star, you are so good and so good, you will be very happy, even happier than me. ”

Shen Xingru walked to the balcony of her room, and suddenly remembered Jiang Yan's sentence "The smoke blows the night, and the Chinese boat swings the autumn wind".

Her eyes became more and more hazy, and she said to Xiang Wanwan: "Wanwan, I can't think about it for so long, so far." The road ahead is long, and I can only pass one pass at a time. Hopefully, the world will be a little better in the new year. ”

Xiang Wanwan said confidently: "It will be, we will open up a new world!"

It's a pity that New Year's wishes are just blessings after all.

The new year was not a little better, but the beginning of the year was miserable.

After two days of hot springs in Hakone, Su Jingao and Xiang Wanwan took the Shinkansen to Kansai for a ride.

Osaka is a bit like Chengdu, where people seem to be living at ease.

Kyoto is a bit like Xi'an, the ancient capital city full of people wearing kimonos and taking pictures.

Su Jingao bought a kimono for Xiang Wanwan as a souvenir.

And during their travel in Japan, they also paid attention to the changes in the epidemic situation in China from time to time, and watched the number of confirmed cases and deaths rising steadily, and they had no bottom in their hearts.

Soon after Su Jingao and Xiang Wanwan returned to Beijing, the epidemic broke out nationwide.

Beijing has introduced a policy that non-residents need to quarantine at home for 14 days when entering Beijing.

Governments at all levels, enterprises and institutions have extended the time of New Year leave.

This was followed by an increasingly strict community management policy, and temporary passes were required to enter and exit.

This winter is an unprecedented depression.

All walks of life are basically suspended.

Except for the doctors and nurses in the hospital, who worked overtime and were busy all day long, everyone tried not to go out and hide from the epidemic at home.

All restaurants are closed, and they are open indefinitely.

You won't see anyone on the street without a mask anymore.

Su Jingao's vacation was also postponed again and again, and finally became a remote office.

Xiang Wanwan didn't expect that this sudden epidemic could allow her and Su Jingao to get along for so long.

And because of the strict community management system, Su Jingao can't even visit his parents' house, so he can only live in their small apartment with Xiang Wanwan every day.

The days of self-isolation at home, although there are also panics, but more warmth.
