Mother Xiao arrived at the city where Xiao Hanyu lived on time according to the appointed time, and she had a gentle smile on her face as always. But in fact, Mother Xiao is a very persistent woman, raising Xiao Hanyu alone, whether it is family affairs or official affairs, there has never been a mistake.

In Lin Manshu's impression, Mother Xiao is an admirable woman. She remembers that since she was a child, her mother would have a habit of staying in City B for a month from April to May every year. When I was a child, I was ignorant, and I never paid attention to this, and when I grew up, I didn't ask because I was used to it.

"But...... Don't you think it's strange?" asked Xiao Hanyu suddenly.

He and Lin Manshu picked him up at the airport, and when he saw Xiao's mother coming out of the exit, Xiaohanyu suddenly remembered a question.

"What's strange?" asked Lin Manshu rhetorically.

"I remember that since I was a child, my mother would come here for a month every year, and it has been more than 20 years, don't you think it's strange?"

However, Xiao Hanyu already had a guess in his heart about this matter, and he said to Lin Manshu: "It won't be here to see a lover, right?!"

Lin Manshu didn't know why Xiao Hanyu had such a ridiculous idea, and directly gave him a roll of his eyes.

"No, don't look at me like that, I'm really suspicious. It has been consistent for more than 20 years, and I can't think of any other more suitable reason than to see my lover. Xiao Hanyu said seriously.

"How can there be a lover who sees once a year, and it's almost the same to see him once a day. Lin Manshu said, "Moreover, in order not to let you be wronged, Auntie has been single for so many years, even if you have someone you like, you can still stop it." ”

"How can you stop it? I don't have time to approve it with both hands. Xiao Hanyu said.

"But......" Xiao Hanyu's tone suddenly turned to doubt, "I'm still curious about what kind of person my biological father is? No matter how much I search for memories about him, I can't find the slightest trace." ”

Regarding his father's question, Xiao Hanyu asked it many times, but Xiao Hanyu's mother was vague every time. As he grew older, Xiao Hanyu's curiosity about his father became more and more serious, and he even followed his mother's surname, so who was his father? Is he still alive? If he is still alive, why hasn't he appeared for more than 20 years? These are the questions that Xiao Hanyu had about his father, and what he didn't expect was that this matter would involve a secret from many years ago.

Xiao Mubai and Chen Li sat on a bench in a park near the police station, both holding coffee in their hands. At noon, when the sun was shining, Chen Li leaned comfortably on the bench and enjoyed his leisure time.

"Ali ......" Xiao Mubai suddenly spoke, breaking the surrounding silence.

was called by Xiao Mubai's name, Chen Li immediately opened his closed eyes, Xiao Mubai called him so solemnly, something big must have happened.

"What's wrong?" Chen Li asked.

"I ...... It still seems to be back. Xiao Mubai said slowly, with a stunned expression on his face.

"Still, is Yao still the same? Didn't she go abroad after she got married? Are you still in touch?"

It was really as Chen Li expected, it was a big deal. Others may not know Yao Yi, but Chen Li, as Xiao Mubai's friend for many years, knows very well what kind of existence Yao still exists in his heart.

"No, I just saw it. On the road, quite accidentally. Xiao Mubai replied.

Xiao Mubai sighed as he spoke, and his answer was also pale and weak. If there must be any emotion, maybe it's regret.

"Come back, come back, you shouldn't be ......"

Chen Li's words were only halfway through, he looked at Xiao Mubai in surprise, hoping that he would deny it, but the latter lowered his head and was silent. What does it mean to be silent? acknowledgment or contemplation?

Chen Li's mind came to Yao Yi's appearance, and he suddenly found a very serious problem. I hadn't seen her for too long, so I didn't pay attention to it, but now when I think of her appearance, I make an amazing discovery. His mind was not alternating between Yao and Lin Manshu.

"No......" Chen Li muttered, more and more frightened by his own thoughts, "It's really going to be a big deal." ”

Lin Manshu parked the car at the door of a Western restaurant and said, "Shen Lingshan will be here in a while, you guys should go in first." ”

"Aren't you going to eat with us?" asked Mom.

"No, you family of three should eat well. Lin Manshu said jokingly.

Mother Xiao knew that Lin Manshu was a person who said the same, so she no longer insisted on it, and went to the western restaurant with Xiao Hanyu.

When Lin Manshu started the car and was about to leave, she happened to see Shen Lingshan and stopped for a while. Rolled down the window and talked to Shen Lingshan.

"Has Aunt Xiao arrived?" asked Shen Lingshan.

"You should call Auntie. Lin Manshu corrected, and then said, "I'm already waiting inside, you can go in quickly, don't mess up." ”

Shen Lingshan said confidently: "My acting skills, how can I show my stuffing, what are you kidding." ”

Joking with Lin Manshu Shen Lingshan's nervous mood was much better, she said: "I was super nervous just now, and I told you much better." Oh my God, I'm most scared of seeing my parents. ”

"I was scared and agreed. Isn't it possible for you to do it? Lin Manshu said casually.

"Huh...... How could it be?" Shen Lingshan said ambiguously, "I'll go in first, see you another day." ”

"What? The answer is so ambiguous, is it really *?" Lin Manshu muttered as she looked at Shen Lingshan's back.

Lin Manshu started working after returning home, but her heart was not on work, she had to look at her phone from time to time, as for what she was looking at, only she knew.

Lin Manshu pressed the screen of the mobile phone on, and continued to brighten it after the screen dimmed. After going back and forth like this several times, Lin Manshu impatiently covered her phone with a book, and she thought to herself:

What was I expecting? No, how could it be? Didn't show up, didn't call, didn't even send messages, was angry because I was kicked out?

It turned out that Lin Manshu was waiting for news from Xiao Mubai, and he hadn't come to the villa for several days since Lin Manshu kicked him out that day. This is not like his usual style, but Xiao Mubai is being troubled by another thing.

Zhong Nan took the brewed coffee and put it on Lin Manshu's table, and he had already discovered Lin Manshu's thoughts, and asked, "Is Lawyer Lin waiting for Officer Xiao's call?"

"Nope. Lin Manshu denied it directly, chuckled and asked, "Why am I waiting for him to call?"

Zhong Nan glanced at Lin Manshu's mobile phone, which was half covered by the book, hooked his lips and said with a smile: "Since you came back, you have been looking at your phone." Is it because Officer Xiao hasn't been here lately, do you miss him?"

Lin Manshu pretended to drink coffee in order to hide her true thoughts, and almost choked when she heard Zhong Nan's words, but she finally held back.

"Ahem...... Heh, I want to ...... How could I possibly think about him, are you being funny? It's not funny at all. ”

Although she strenuously denied it, Zhong Nam still looked like she saw through everything, with an intriguing smile on her lips.

"I didn't really wait for his call and didn't think about him. Zhong Nan's expression made Lin Manshu very unhappy, and emphasized again.

"Got it. Zhong Nan was amused by Lin Manshu's seriousness and said, "But let's deny it once." Didn't Mr. Lin hear it when he was a child in Chinese class? ”

Double Negative Expression Affirmative Words...... Ha, this kid still said that she was thinking about Xiao Mubai.

Lin Manshu, who couldn't argue, could only come up with a killer idea, and said to Zhongnan: "Have you read all the legal provisions that you have read? Today, before getting off work, I took a random test, and I didn't score 90 points, so I copied the test questions three times." ”

Copy three times, copy three times, copy three times...... Zhong Nan's mind is full of this sentence now. Although punishment is the lowest punishment, it is also the most uncomfortable, and it is not easy to copy a whole test paper three times, not to mention that this test paper is related to the provisions of the law.

"Ah, it's over, my poor hand. ”

Zhong Nan looked at his hand, as if he had anticipated the crippled state of his right hand because of copying the test papers.

"No, there's only one person who can save my hand now. ”

Zhong Nan was right, there was only one person who could save him - Xiao Mubai. So he didn't hesitate to send a text message to Xiao Mubai.

The content of the text message was: Officer Xiao, have you been very busy lately? Because you haven't been here for a few days, our lawyer Lin is very annoyed now, and his mood is very unbeautiful, and he is going to punish me for copying the test papers. Officer Xiao, if you have time after work in a while, please come and save me. The only person I can trust is you, Uncle Policeman.

Xiao Mubai received Zhong Nan's text message full of sincerity, and immediately laughed. Find Lin Man-sook in the address book and prepare to text her.

"I heard you missed me. ”

When Xiao Mubai typed these words on the keyboard, he must have been in a brisk mood, which could be seen from the corners of his raised mouth.

But Xiao Mubai didn't send that sentence out in the end. Why? Probably because of the woman named Yao Yi. The hair fluttering in the sun like in his memory will come out from time to time to disturb Xiao Mubai's mood.

Xiao Mubai deleted the typed words one by one, and said to himself: You who haven't even sorted out your mood, what qualifications do you have to post this sentence.

"Alas......" A long sigh came from Xiao Mubai's mouth, it seemed that he was not ordinary distressed.

In the end, Lin Manshu waited for a day, but did not wait for any information from Xiao Mubai. She occasionally opened the chat history and thought about whether to take the initiative to send a message to Xiao Mubai. But I don't know if it was because of her reserved personality that restricted her, or because of her always cold personality, Lin Manshu didn't choose to take the initiative to send a message.

Love requires initiative. In fact, it's not just love, anything you want needs to be actively fought for. If you don't fight for it, you're likely to miss out. Lin Manshu may not know this, so she will choose to let it go. One day, when she saw Xiao Mubai with another woman, would she understand this truth?
