Jingyi sat down, glared at her again, and listened to Mrs. Tao say that the food was served, so she stopped talking quietly.

She raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Tao, who was listening to Erbao's slurred words, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while......

Shortly after dinner, Mrs. Tao felt a little tired from a hard day's work, so she went to rest first. Jingyi and Qiu Wei handed over the children to their mothers to serve them to wash and go to bed, and only when they saw them fall asleep in their own beds one by one, did they breathe a sigh of relief. Jingyi asked Qiu Wei to bring her a bottle of wine, and she went back to the room to take care of the white lion first.

The white lion was placed in the living room of her suite, and it still looked limp and powerless, but when Jingyi sat down next to it, it actually raised its head, licked Jingyi's face, and then lay down again. Jingyi checked it carefully, and saw nothing unusual, so she was relieved.

"Miss, is this it?" Qiu Wei knocked on the door and came in, holding a wine bottle and glass.

Jingyi looked at it and asked, "Why is it just a wine glass?" Didn't you want to have a drink with me? ”

Qiu Wei sat down, stroked the white lion, and watched Jingyi skillfully open a bottle of new wine, pour it out a little, shake the glass, and look at the light...... The crystal cup reflects colorful light, and there seems to be a hazy golden light around Jingyi...... Qiu Wei sighed lightly, Jingyi heard it, looked at her, and asked again, "Do you want to come some?" ”

"I'm not going to drink. Miss, you didn't drink well before. Once upon a time, when I heard that the young lady was drinking, I was terrified. Qiu Wei smiled and blinked, "Miss, do you remember, you drank and talked nonsense?" Da"

"How can I drink and talk nonsense?" Jingyi stubbornly refused to admit it. She looked at her glass and smiled. Qiu Wei also laughed, saying that the young lady still has a mouth. Jing Yi chuckled and shook her head. When the wine is opened, it is not long enough, and the mouth is still a little sour. She shook her wine glass lightly, "I'm not afraid of this little wine, I won't get drunk...... Usually I don't know when something happens in the hospital, but if it's delayed, it's not good, so I haven't touched it for a long time. But I'm tired today and want to get some sleep. ”

She said, sniffing.

The smell of wine penetrated her nostrils, and after a few moments, she was intoxicated...... She knew in her heart that it was probably not the wine that was intoxicating, but that she hadn't rested well these days, and she was too strong to drink.

"Miss is sleeping at night?" Qiu Wei asked.

Jingyi also sat down, side by side with Qiu Wei, leaning on the sofa. Looking at the weak white lion in front of him, Jingyi said, "Yes, especially these days, I can't sleep well." ”

Qiu Wei nodded and said, "Me too, but ......" As soon as she said this, she heard a faint sound outside, and the sound of gunfire from a long distance coldly pierced the night sky. The white lion snorted to his feet, alert in the ensuing burst of gunfire. Qiu Wei watched Jingyi reach out and pat the white lion to make it climb down again, "Miss, the gun went off again...... These two days were peaceful. ”

Jingyi took a sip of wine and said, "Taiping is also temporary. ”

"......" Qiu Wei beat a drum in her heart. The gunfire in the middle of the night sounded particularly frightening.

Jingyi looked at her and said, "Anyway, let's be in one place here." Otherwise, as soon as this cold gun goes off, my heart will go up and down, and I don't know what happened to you and the children. ”

Qiu Wei hugged Jingyi's arm and didn't make a sound, just sniffed.

Jing Yi thought she was numb, twitched her arm, and frowned: "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" As he spoke, he raised his wrist to show Qiu Wei the time.

"I can't sleep, I'll be cranky, it's better to talk to Miss here to relieve my boredom......" Qiu Wei said, wiping the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, "I'll stay here with Miss for a while." When the young lady is asleep, I will leave. ”

"You and I are a three-year-old child, and I still need you to sleep with me?" Jing Yi smiled and handed the wine glass to Qiu Wei. Qiu Wei said that she would think crankily when she couldn't sleep, and she also knew it deeply. But if she opened her mouth at this time, it would surely become a pity for the two of them...... She didn't want that. "Take a bite and make sure you get a good night's sleep."

Qiu Wei hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile: "Miss is really, people are kind enough to talk to you, and blindly drive people away...... Miss, will you just talk for a while? Since you came back, although we are both in Shanghai, where can we talk in one place? Good young lady, tell me, tell me about ......"

"Say what?" Jing Yi glanced at Qiu Wei, drank all the wine in the wine glass, and poured another half glass, "You noisy girl, you've been a mother for so long, and you still haven't changed your temper, right?" ”

Qiu Wei smiled and snatched Jingyi's wine glass and said, "My temper is not what Miss is used to?" As she spoke, she craned her neck and drank half a glass of wine. This frightened Jing Yi, she knew that Qiu Wei didn't drink, and she was afraid that she would get drunk in a hurry. Qiu Wei raised her glass, "Sour...... What's so good about this, miss? ”

Jingyi smiled, snatched the cup back, simply threw it aside, and said, "That's it, it's really here to stir up...... What's wrong? ”

"The heart is beating fast, and the face is hot......" Qiu Wei held her face.

Jing Yi saw that her face was red, knowing that she was a little drunk, pulled her up, sat on the sofa, and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Nothing, miss." Qiu Wei said, shaking her hand, "I drink a little from time to time...... At that time, Atul lied to me that the wine was not spicy, not bitter, and delicious...... I'm stupid, believe him...... But once he was drinking, and he was so drunk that he freaked him out...... Don't dare to ...... again."

Qiu Wei talked to Jingyi intermittently, smiling.

Jingyi wanted to laugh at first, but gradually stopped laughing, curled up beside her, and looked at her quietly - Qiu Wei, who was drunk and hazy, hugged a pillow and reclined on the back of the sofa, her face was red, gentle and dignified, and when she spoke, she revealed the naïve and indescribable cuteness of her earlier appearance...... Jingyi couldn't help but reach out and twist Qiu Wei's cheeks, and said in a low voice: "This girl ......"

Qiu Wei covered her cheeks, and her sigh was half a beat slower. Jingyi listened and laughed. Qiu Wei looked at Jingyi in a daze.

"It's a shame for you, a girl, who is now a wife, a mother, and a family business." Jing Yi sighed softly. While sighing, he dragged his long shawl and covered Qiu Wei on her shoulders, afraid that she would catch a cold. After all, the night is deeper, and the dew is heavier, and the coolness is suddenly born. "You're going to have to be good, you know?"

Qiu Wei took Jing Yi's hand.

"Huh?" Jingyi saw Qiu Wei holding her hand, and looked at her without saying a word for a while.

"Miss, you're very good, you know? This big family, and us, the men are not at home...... But it's all up to you. Qiu Wei lowered her head and leaned on Jing Yi's shoulder.

"Of course I'm fine." Jingyi patted her on the back. She looked at the dim shadows of the trees outside. "Don't be afraid, no matter how difficult it is, it will pass...... Do you remember that in the past, you were afraid of the dark and didn't dare to sleep by yourself, how did Qiao's mother teach you? Say that the more afraid you are, the more strange the dark shadow will come to catch you. Then you take the lamp and go to the place you think is the darkest to see, and it turns out that there is nothing. From that time on, you won't be afraid. Qiu Wei, you still told me that you won't be afraid of anything in the future, right? ”

"Yes. But ......"

Jingyi scratched the bridge of Qiu Wei's nose and said, "Don't be, when I didn't come back, Mrs. Tu, you don't know how capable you are!" And so it goes...... You go to sleep. Sleep well, wake up, these children alone have a lot of things waiting for you to do, see if you have time, but ......"

"But I miss Atul." Qiu Wei said suddenly.

Jingyi didn't want her to come out with such a sentence, so she was stunned. Before she could pick up the stubble, Qiu Wei leaned on the sofa with a grunt, muttering something...... Her heart was lightly poked, and she couldn't say how numb she was.

Qiu Wei shrunk on the sofa, as if she had fallen asleep, and she didn't move.

Jingyi couldn't move Qiu Wei, so she simply vacated the place and let Qiu Wei lie on the sofa. Fortunately, the sofa was wide, and Qiu Wei was lying on it, not cramped at all. She covered Qiu Wei with a thin quilt, checked Qiu Wei again and again, and made sure that she was fine.

Qiu Wei quickly fell asleep.

Jingyi looked at her, although she felt funny for a while, she couldn't help but feel sour, so she quietly got up and walked out of the door, and went to see Suixin as usual, and then went to see Dabao and them...... She walked quietly from the child's bedside to the child's bedside, listening to their even breathing, and also listening to the occasional gunshots, always feeling that these sounds were echoing in her ears, obviously real, but it made her feel that it was the most unreal thing to ring at the same time...... She stood on the porch for a long time, listening to the sound of the gunfire completely silenced.

Back in the room, Qiu Wei was still sleeping on the sofa, snoring like thunder.

Jingyi poured another glass of wine, took the glass, and took a sip.

At this time, my mind became more and more clear...... She seemed to hear a voice, a few coughs. After a moment's pause, she got up and turned off all the lights in the room. It took her a moment to creep behind the curtain and look outside—the courtyard was all out and dark.

In the dimness, a figure moved slowly.

Jing Yi took the wine glass and watched the figure walk in the courtyard...... It wasn't until she had drunk all the wine that the figure stopped moving and turned back.

She closed the curtains and quietly went to bed.

……

Jingyi didn't get a good night's sleep again, and naturally woke up in the morning without energy. drank a cup of coffee at home, and asked Xiaomei to bring her another cup of strong when she got to the office.

Zhixin stood outside, listening to her say this, with some disapproval in her eyes.

Jingyi didn't care, but asked Xiaomei to give Zhixi a cup too.

Zhiyi was about to say that he was not good at drinking coffee, when he heard Jingyi whisper: "You have to have something refreshing, otherwise you won't be able to hold on." ”
