The rainy weather in winter is the most annoying, especially in a small seaside town like H City, where the cold rain mixed with the brackish cold wind ruthlessly drilled into people's necks, stabbing people's necks numb. With a "snap", a passer-by stepped on a shallow puddle on the concrete pavement and walked over, and the muddy sewage splashed on the glass windows of the roadside shops, leaving several stains. There are a few colorful Christmas pattern stickers on the glass windows, and you can faintly hear the sound of Christmas songs coming out of the warm shops.

Yes, it's almost Christmas, although the citizens of H City generally have no religious beliefs, but this foreign festival is celebrated every year like a traditional major festival, the main reason is that businesses can take advantage of this kind of foreign festival full of commercial smell to make a lot of money, so no one wants to lag behind, the festival has not yet arrived and began to make a strong discount, I can't wait for this foreign festival to be tailored for their own sales.

"Jingle bells" A pleasant bell sound sounded in Shen Qingyi's strange little department, and Xiao Yan held a small Christmas tree full of bells and placed it on Shen Qingyi's table.

"Small ~ Qing ~ One ~ This one will give you one!" Xiao Dian moved the documents and books on Shen Qingyi's desktop and helped the bell tree to be placed at the best angle.

"What is this?" Shen Qingyi tapped the bell tree with his pen, and suddenly the small tree clanged.

"Christmas knick-knacks! Anyway, Christmas is coming, and the New Year is approaching, so the department must have some festive atmosphere. Xiao Dian raised his hands excitedly. The department is indeed quite festive, as soon as you enter the door, there is a parasitic pavilion, several desks are hung with small Christmas balls and small bells, and even Uncle Guang's miscellaneous pile is a small snowman made of foam high on it.

"You're always spending money on these gadgets."

"Because it's really cute, don't you like it?" Xiao Dian coquettishly held Shen Qingyi's arm.

"I've served you, just right, I have something to announce." Shen Qingyi picked up a document and walked out of the glass room.

"Everyone, stop what you're doing, I have something to announce." Shen Qingyi walked to the small corridor in the middle of the desk, although the big guys didn't have any work on their hands, they still stopped the online shopping, toys and dumbbells in their hands and stepped forward.

"This year's year-end meeting has been scheduled to be held at the Marina Hotel."

"Marina Hotel?!" Lin Lan covered her fleshy face and screamed.

"Super five-star! A place where you can eat a bowl of wonton noodles for 100 yuan! Xia Xunfei also shouted.

"I heard that the selection of waiters inside is stricter than that of flight attendants!" Jin Hao hugged his little liver and shouted.

"Their most famous gold leaf cake is said to have won a prize at a world-class competition!" Little dark wipe saliva.

"Ahem...... Listen to me. Facing the uproar of everyone, Shen Qingyi had to clear his throat loudly, "Because it is a high-end venue, and we are holding a cocktail party, everyone has to attend in formal attire that day, and the opportunity is rare, I hope you can all be in place on time that day, try not to be absent." ”

"That's absolutely fine!" Jin Hao patted his strong chest and said.

"It's a rare opportunity. Even if you borrow it, you have to borrow a suit and come back! Xia Xunfei was also very excited.

"It should be too late to buy a set online!" Lin Lan hurriedly turned to her computer and ticked the mouse.

"Xiao Qingyi, what were you wearing that day?" Xiao Dian pulled Shen Qingyi, his face full of anticipation.

Yes, I don't know what Shen Qingyi will wear that day? Xia Xunfei looked at Shen Qingyi, because of the cold and rainy day, Shen Qingyi wore a beige twist sweater today, and the soft and thick sweater covered Shen Qingyi's figure tightly, but Xia Xunfei still couldn't help but think of the situation when Shen Qingyi was undercover on the Phoenix stage, she looked so good in a small dress.

"I haven't figured out what I'm going to wear yet, and if it's too cold, I probably won't wear a dress." Shen Qing glanced at the drizzle outside the window, and he didn't know when this annoying rainy day would stop.

"Huh? Then I'll be disappointed! Xiao Dian said Xia Xunfei's heart.

Shen Qingyi smiled and touched Xiao Di's head, but didn't speak, walked to the wall alone and nailed the document to the small blackboard. Xia Xunfei sat back in his chair and poked the Christmas balls on the table boringly, praying to God and Buddha and praying that Santa Claus would bless him with a good weather that day!

The day of the end of the year has arrived as scheduled, and I don't know if Xia Xunfei's prayer is really effective or Santa Claus has appeared, the sky is still gloomy in the morning, and after noon, it begins to clear slowly, and the warm winter sun slowly emerges from the thick clouds, and the bright sun shines over the city, and the blue sea is sparkling and shining.

The Marina Hotel sits on the seashore like a giant white shell, and the winter sunset covers the shell of the Marina Hotel in an orange veil accompanied by seagulls. At the entrance of one of the largest banquet rooms in the hotel's waterfront, there is a flower arch with printed standing signs on both sides, which read: "H City Police Station Christmas and New Year Cocktail Party". At this time, the staff of the police station are entering the venue one after another, and everyone who enters the venue, regardless of gender, is wearing exquisite dresses, and it seems that this time the tail teeth are really very grand.

Xia Xunfei tidied up the small bow tie around his neck, smoothed the suit that was crumpled by the bus crowd just now, and slowly walked into the venue with the crowd. The ceiling of the venue is hand-painted European religious paintings, angels, saints, fairies, Virgins and Sons and other figures are densely packed throughout the blue ceiling, and the paintings are surrounded by golden baroque wooden frames made of arabesques. Such a dazzling light made Xia Xunfei think that Chen Zhimei's guy was hanging from the ceiling!

It's a pity that Xia Xunfei didn't find Chen Zhimei on the ceiling, but saw Chen Zhimei in a corner not far away, who was as shiny as a chandelier, and he was surrounded by a group of little girls with flowers and branches. Xia Xunfei wanted to turn his head to avoid the electric light monster that made him ashamed of himself every time he saw it, but it was a pity that Chen Zhimei saw him! Chen Zhimei beckoned to him and walked over unhurriedly.

"So early, huh? Officer Xia? Chen Zhimei came over warmly to say hello.

"Hehe, weren't you earlier?" Xia Xunfei said with a smile.

"I've just arrived, I didn't expect to be surrounded by people since then, and I'm really not used to being surrounded by so many ladies, but fortunately, I saw that you can give me a chance to get out."

Damn it! Is this showing me off? Xia Xunfei was secretly unhappy in his heart, but he could only smile and say, "That's because you are attractive, hehe!" ”

"What about Seiichi? Didn't I come with you? Chen Zhimei looked left and right at Xia Xunfei.

"No, I didn't come along, why do you ask?"

"I thought you would be her boyfriend today!" Chen Zhimei said with a smile.

"Male companion? How can it be? The first sister she ...... Does she have a male partner tonight? Xia Xunfei chuckled in his heart, could it be that Shen Qingyi asked someone to come? Impossible, right? Could it be that she has other goals besides Chen Zhimei?

"I don't know, but I heard that she was accompanied tonight, and I thought it was you! Hahaha! Chen Zhimei laughed a few times.

So her male partner is not me, are you happy? Xia Xunfei was super unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled hard and replied: "Yes, it's not me or you, I don't know who it will be?" Ha ha! Hey? There's my former brother over there, so I'll go over and say hello first, I'm out of company! Xia Xunfei didn't pay much attention to Chen Zhimei, and casually found an excuse and walked away.

Xia Xunfei walked around the dining area alone, drank a peach-flavored cocktail very boringly, and then finally found Lin Lan in the crowd, she was wearing a golden cheongsam and a big red plush coat, and was excitedly holding a plate and standing in front of the shelf-like cake stand to look left and right, not knowing how to start.

"Grandma, it's so nice to see you! I thought no one from our department was coming! Xia Xunfei happily trotted over.

"Oops! It's a search for wrong! You're so handsome tonight! This suit looks so good! Come on, come on, take a picture of me! Lin Lan was also very happy to see Xia Xunfei, and quickly took out her mobile phone from the small bag she was carrying on her arm.

"Huh? Photograph? Isn't it embarrassing? Xia Xunfei shyly looked at the people around him, is he really so handsome?

"What's so embarrassing? These cakes are so beautiful, I'm going to take a picture with them and send it to my daughter! It's a shame that she can't come tonight to make up for English!" As she spoke, Lin Lan shoved the plate and mobile phone into Xia Xunfei's hand, and stood in front of the cake pile and posed.

What? It turned out to be a cake? I thought it was filming me...... Xia Xunfei was a little disappointed, and thought that he could make people shine with such careful cleaning tonight!

"Hey, Xunfei, help me get a picture from this angle, I'll change my position." Lin Lan picked up the fork as a prop and posed again.

"Okay, good ......," Xia Xunfei replied with a wry smile.

After taking dozens of photos before and after helping Lin Lan take a close-up of the distant and close up, Lin Lan finally got her phone back with satisfaction and started her food night.

"Xunfei, this cake is really delicious, do you want a piece?" Lin Lan stuffed a lemon cake into her mouth.

"No need, Grandma, you can eat, I'm not very hungry yet." Xia Xunfei waved his hand, he looked towards the door, why hasn't Shen Qingyi arrived yet?

Xia Xunfei walked through the crowd in discouragement, and when he passed the table in the corner, he saw Uncle Guang who was sitting silently on the side of the famous tea, and after saying hello, he walked to the window of the hall alone. Xia Xunfei looked at the night that was gradually darkening outside the window, only there was still some reddish light at the end of the sea, the sky had basically turned dark blue, and a few anxious stars hung in the night sky to look extraordinarily bright.

"Finding wrong! You're here, boy! A loud voice made Xia Xunfei turn around, it was Jin Hao.

"Yo, you're here too?" Xia Xunfei walked over.

"I'm here early, I'm chatting with my junior sisters, I'm seeing you, come, let me introduce you, this is the deputy captain of our department, Xia Xunfei, twenty-five years old this year, and I don't have a girlfriend yet!" Jin Hao turned sideways, and two or three little girls ran out from behind him, looking like they should have just joined the police force for a short time.

"Hello Captain Xia!"

"Captain Xia is so handsome!"

"Captained at such a young age? That's amazing! ”

Several little girls chattered around Xia Xunfei and asked questions, which made Xia Xunfei not know how to answer all of a sudden.

"Uh...... Hehe...... I'm actually fine...... Thank you......" Xia Xunfei felt that he was about to sweat behind him.

"Captain Xia, let's take a selfie together, shall we?" One of the little girls took out her mobile phone and pulled Xia Xunfei to take a picture.

"Scared? Take a selfie? I—I'm not too photogenic. ”

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you retouch the picture!" The little girl was about to take a picture holding Xia Xunfei's arm.

"I'm going to be with you, too."

"Together! Together! ”

Several little girls pulled Xia Xunfei and Jin Hao to press the shutter "click".

"Uh...... Muscle, Jin Hao, I'll go over there and take a look, I'll leave it to you here! Xia Xunfei finally withdrew his arm and hurriedly pulled his legs and ran wildly, although the little girls were very cute, but he didn't want Shen Qing to see himself mixed with a group of little girls as soon as he came in, and the impression he gave her was low enough!

"Ouch!" Xia Xunfei accidentally scratched a little girl when she fled in a panic in the crowd, and her red double ponytail looked particularly dazzling against the white princess dress.

"Little Dark!" Xia Xunfei shouted while unbuttoning the ribbon scraped on the buttons on his sleeve.

"Is that you?" Xiao Dian pulled back the ribbon from her skirt.

"I thought you'd come with a sister!"

"I want to too! But when I called her when I went out, she said that she was waiting for someone, I don't know who it was, so important! Hum! Xiao Dian puffed up his cheeks and drank the Yiliduo in the cup with a drunken spirit.

"Don't we know this person?"

"Nope! Know! Road! Hum! I'm going to refill it! Xiao Dian was obviously dissatisfied.

You're just Yiliduo, okay? Don't pretend to be drinking! Xia Xunfei secretly complained weakly in his heart.

"Hey, redhead, may I ask if your name is Qu Yuyin?" Xiao Dian was about to walk away when suddenly a dark-skinned tall boy came over and asked.

"Who?" As soon as Xiao Dian turned her head, her expression immediately changed, and she waved her cup and shouted loudly: "It turns out that you are a nosyman!" Didn't you check my ID last time? Why did you deliberately come here to ask this time? You're trying to find fault, aren't you? ”

"Who is this man?" Xia Xunfei was startled, and hurriedly snatched the cup from Xiao Dark's hand, for fear that she would hit someone.

"I'm telling you, this is it! I checked my ID card during my road test, which caused me to fail the license plate test and left a psychological shadow! You nosy guy! You, you, what's your name?! I'm going to complain about you! Xiao Dian shouted with a fist.

"Hahahaha! Qu Yuyin, were you the flag bearer of the raising team when you were in elementary school? He always wears two pigtails. The strange man burst out laughing.

"You...... You also went to check me?! Damn it! Xiao Dian gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward.

"Hey, listen to me first! I'm Lacey! That Lacey who raised the flag with you! The man who called himself Lacey hurriedly hid behind Xia Xunfei.

"Lacey? Flag-raising? There was no one with the surname Lei among my classmates in elementary school! ”

"My surname is not Lei, my surname is Du! I'm that little fat man! ”

Du ...... Les? Dures! I remember you! That Dures who often treats me for snacks! is as fat as Zheng Zeshi's own son! Xiao Dian exclaimed loudly.

"Shh......h Be quiet, I've changed my name now, it's called Doose, and you don't call me by my old name anymore. Dures hurriedly covered his mouth.

"What are you doing? I'll just keep it quiet, you know that your name is embarrassing? Xiao Dian pulled Dures' hand away, "How did you become so thin?" Still so tall? Did your chocolate turn into abs? ”

"This is the result of my hard work! By the way, who is this? Is your boyfriend? Dures looked at Xia Xunfei and asked.

"That's weird! He is the vice-captain of our department. ”

"Hello, I'm Xia Xunfei." It wasn't until Dures took the initiative to greet Xia Xunfei that Xia Xunfei came back to his senses and shook hands with Dures.

"Haha, hello, my name is Dus, and I'm a traffic policeman."

"I have a grudge against you, don't I? Or do you want to get back all the snacks you invited me to? You actually checked me on my road test?! Xiao Dian shouted angrily.

"I really didn't know it was you that time!" Dures smiled and patted Xia Xunfei on the shoulder and said, "I'll tell you how funny it was that time." I saw a driving school car on the road, there was a child sitting in it, the seat belt was about to be strangled in the face, I saw that this was not right, what about underage driving on the road? So I stopped, and asked the driver to take out the documents, the date of birth on the documents obviously did not match her appearance, so I asked her if the documents were her own, who knew that this guy actually quarreled with me very unceremoniously! I went back and thought about it afterwards, this red-haired imp is very similar to my elementary school classmates, hahaha, I didn't expect it to be really acquainted, it's really my own people beating my own people! ”

"You're still laughing! Still laughing! Do you know how much of a psychological shadow you have left on me? I've been unable to take the road test! I still can't get a license plate! ”

"Hahahaha! You can take the bus without driving! How convenient is the bus, isn't it? Hahahaha! Dures laughed again with a mocking laugh.

"Damn! You little fat man! ”

"Hahaha! Don't be so stingy! At most, I'll treat you to a snack until you're down. ”

When Xiao Dian was shouting with Du Lei, Xia Xunfei saw a familiar figure at the door, it was Shen Qingyi! She was wearing elaborate makeup, a simple small gold necklace around her neck, a tight black tuxedo with tassels, and a tweed coat that was also black on the outside, and was walking towards the venue with a person in her arms. Well? Who is that guy she's holding on? He is thin and tall, looks like he is 1.8 meters, wears a dark jujube red suit, and has long flowing hair up to his waist! It's a woman! She is a woman with resolute eyes! Xia Xunfei didn't know this woman, but this woman was obviously very ambiguous with Shen Qingyi, and after she entered the venue, she gently helped Shen Qingyi take off her coat, and hugged her thin waist and whispered a few words in her ear before leaving with her coat with a smile.

"Who's that woman?! What is the relationship between her and my little Seiichi? Xiao Dian couldn't help it at first and almost rushed forward.

"Hey! What are you doing? "Dures was the first to catch the little dark.

"She's touching my woman!" Xiao Dian struggled and screamed.

"You calm down first, there are so many leaders here, don't be impulsive!" Xia Xunfei also helped block Xiaoxiao.

"Yes, yes, don't get excited, maybe it's just a good friend!" Dures also followed to comfort Xiao Dark.

"How is that possible? How can a friend touch it? She looks like a rival in love! Rival! Damn it! Xiao Qingyi actually asked her to come with her tonight, Xiao Qingyi changed her mind! Xiao Dark grabbed Dures and cried out with tears in his eyes.

"Who is the one in the black dress? Xiao Dark is so excited! Dures pulled back the sleeve that Xiao Dark used to bite and vent and asked Xia Xunfei.

"It's her goddess......" Xia Xunfei felt that he was a little embarrassed to say this answer.

"Woooooooooo......oo She's my little Seiichi...... My best friend......" Little pouted and tears were about to fall.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll help you find out about the enemy, okay?" Xia Xunfei touched Xiao Di's head.

"You see, your captain cares about you. Well, I'll take you to a place you're definitely interested in, and you're guaranteed to be happy! Go, go, go! Dures also ignored Xiao Dark's desperate struggle, pulled Xiao Dian and walked towards the end of the crowd.

Phew, it's good to have this guy named Dures to help, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to make a little secret by myself. But who is this woman? Qingyi her...... What about Qingyi and her?! Xia Xunfei found that it was only a moment before Shen Qingyi disappeared from his position at the door and disappeared into the crowd, and he hurriedly walked around looking for the figure in the black fringed little skirt. Fortunately, Shen Qingyi was so dazzling in the crowd, and it didn't take much time for Xia Xunfei to see Shen Qingyi standing in a corner with his back to him and talking to a couple.

Hey? Why is that man so familiar? Looks like ...... Isn't it that "Police Force Huang Zongze" - Dai Ren?! The fat woman who was holding his arm and leaning on his shoulder at this time was her wife? This woman looks several years older than Shen Qingyi, strange, how could Qingyi chat with him?

“…… That's why I said, the most important thing for a woman is to find a good husband, and finding a good husband can really be ten years younger! Hehehe......" Dai Ren's wife covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Huh...... Is it? Shen Qingyi laughed a few times in embarrassment.

"Oh, by the way, my family and Lao Dai are ready to work hard to chase the second child!" Mrs. Dai squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Watching our little Beibei grow up day by day, so elf and cute, we all feel that we should add another brother or sister to him." It's a pity that I didn't bring Xiao Beibei here tonight, otherwise I would have allowed you to meet him, it's exactly the same as when we were old Dai! ”

"Oh, really?" Shen Qingyi tried to maintain a polite smile.

"Oh, by the way, Captain Shen, you're not married yet, are you?" Mrs. Dai asked, as if surprised.

"Ah Ping, don't be like this, it's too rude." Dai Ren stabbed his wife with his elbow.

"What! I care about your old colleague! Captain Shen will be thirty-one after the New Year, right? Isn't it too far-sighted to be married yet? Ah Ping looked at Dai Ren with a reproachful look.

"Oh, it's probably just that fate hasn't arrived yet......" Shen Qingyi smiled bitterly, but he already wanted to leave in his heart. How could he be so unlucky tonight, as soon as he entered the door, he was caught and humiliated by these two people.

"Really? Oh, let me tell you, it's really not good for a woman to have too high a vision, and it's easy to find a husband if you lower your standards! I have an old colleague who is almost 40 years old this year, although he is divorced, but he has no children, and he is a civil servant and has two houses at home! Would you like to think about it? I see that the two of you are about the same age, and the conditions are about the same, so you are a good match! Ah Ping looked like a matchmaker who couldn't wait to marry Shen Qingyi immediately.

"Ah Ping, people have their own opinions, don't be these chicken matchmakers." Dai Ren also felt that his wife's words were a little excessive.

"What?!" When Shen Qing heard Dai Ren and his wife say this, the fire in his heart immediately came up! The junior in front of him made Dai Ren dump himself because she was pregnant, and now he has to humiliate people in front of him like this! Seeing that Shen Qingyi was about to have a seizure, a warm arm wrapped around Shen Qingyi's fragrant shoulder.

"So you're here? I've been looking for you for a long time, and I'm worried about death. Xia Xunfei gently hugged Shen Qingyi's smooth shoulders, and smiled and handed her a glass of pink champagne, "I tasted it just now, it's delicious, can you taste it too?" ”

"Looking for something? You...... There you are? Shen Qingyi was stunned at first, but soon entered the role to cooperate with Xia Xunfei, she took the champagne and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you." ”

"Why don't you introduce me, are these two your friends?" Xia Xunfei looked at Dai Ren with a smile.

"Oh, yes, this is Captain Dai Ren, this is his wife, and this one next to me is ......" Shen Qingyi hesitated for a moment and looked at Xia Xunfei.

"My name is Xia Xunfei, and I'm Qingyi's boyfriend! He is also the vice-captain of her department. Xia Xunfei generously stretched out his hand to Dai Ren.

"Oh, I'm glad to be happy, the summer team is so young!" Dai Ren nodded and said.

"Haha, this is all for you to see, I am twenty-five years old this year, a little younger than all of you, but my thinking and work ability will not lose to you seniors, hahahaha!" Xia Xunfei laughed a little provocatively.

"Yo, sister and brother love! I've long heard that sister and brother love have been popular in recent years, and I didn't expect you to be so good at catching up with the trend! But it's no wonder that older women are usually more easily attracted to young little fresh meat, but this love road is not easy to walk. Ah Ping said with some jealousy.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Dai also knows about the love between sisters and brothers, I thought this was just a word that we young people would mention, but I didn't expect you to be quite young!" Xia Xunfei said with a grin.

Ah Ping was a little angry when she heard this, she glanced at Xia Xunfei with disdain and said, "When are you going to get married?" If you get married, you have to buy a house quickly, housing prices have risen rapidly in recent years, and if you don't buy it now, you can't afford it in the future! Luckily, we got married early and bought two houses. How lucky I am to think about it now! ”

"Oh, we're not in a hurry, we're still young anyway, I want to take Qing Yiduo to see the world, after all, as soon as you get married, you have to have children, how tired it is to have children, you can't go anywhere, and no amount of money can buy freedom. Besides, aren't we young? Don't say that I have one, even if I have a second and third child in the future, I still have a strong heart, hahaha! Eh, by the way, I just heard you say that you want to chase a second child, so you really have to hurry, otherwise it will be really troublesome and hard to have a child when you are older! Xia Xunfei glanced at Shen Qingyi with a smile and blushed a little when he saw her.

Ah Ping was very unconvinced and whispered a sentence of "cut", dropped the sentence "There is an acquaintance calling me over there", and pulled Dai Ren away with a black face.
