A shop of nearly 100 square meters, with crisscrossed cubicles, and a lot of wooden decorations, there is a counter at the entrance, on which are placed a lot of crystal balls of different colors, the floor is full of dust, there are several large areas, each area has a different decorative color of tables and chairs, the whole store still looks addictive today.

Wu Qian turned off the neon lights that would flicker on the walls and turned on the lights in the store, and Jewell's eyes were immediately attracted by a huge photo wall in front of him, which was covered with a large number of group photos, as well as photos of single people, some places were empty, and there was dried glue in the back, and it looked like the photos had been taken away.

The entire photo wall is nearly 5 meters high and 3 meters wide, and there are also photos on the walls of some different seating areas.

"You're not the first little brother to come here looking for photos."

Jewell nodded and said thank you, and he ran to the photo wall excitedly, looking at the dense photos, it seemed that it was difficult to find them in a short time.

"Have you ever eaten a little brother!"

Jewell, who was looking at the rise, shook his head in embarrassment.

"I'll go eat when I find the photo later, thank you Miss Wu Qian."

Wu Qian looked at Jewell with a smile, she had heard about Jewell more or less, and even Wu Qian herself went to participate in activities against the family, her clothing store also refused to supply any family, and Wu Qian also went to protest and demonstrate on the street, because Wu Qian herself has also experienced a relatively failed marriage, although it is not as mandatory as a family marriage, but Wu Qian once met a scumbag.

Thinking of this somewhat heartbreaking past, Wu Qian felt a little sympathetic to the boy in front of her, she walked over slowly, Jewell was looking at the people on the photo wall, trying to find the photo of his mother, and a fragrant fragrance came from the tip of his nose.

Jewell glanced over awkwardly, and Wu Qian was standing next to her, a little taller than herself, she looked up at the photos on the wall with a smile on her lips.

"For many years, some of the people on these photo walls have started families, some have died, and this shop was opened when I was young."

Jewell snorted, he didn't know what to say, the woman next to him was about the same age as his mother, Jewell was not good at chatting with women who were many years older than him, and even didn't know what to say when getting along with some girls, and the embarrassment was always in Jewell's heart, at this time Jewell thought of Nia, and his mood relaxed for a while.

"You're so cute little brother when you laugh."

Wu Qian turned her head as she spoke, and Jewell moved his gaze to the side in embarrassment.

Seeing Jewell's embarrassing appearance, Wu Qian was in a good mood, and always felt incredible, this beautiful boy who looked sturdy and strong exuded a unique charm, Wu Qian looked at Jewell with pity.

At this time, Jewell felt some sweat on his back, and there was a stream of aroma from the tip of his nose from time to time, and he had already searched for a long time, but he still hadn't found it, Jewell took a chair and began to look up, his stomach was rumbling, he was already very hungry, but such hunger was nothing to him now.

"Do you want to eat first, little brother?"

Wu Qian asked, Jewell shook his head awkwardly, Wu Qian took the mobile phone and called up Wil's photo, she was indeed a very beautiful woman, and she began to help Jewell find it.

At this time, Jewell stopped his gaze, when he glanced at his mother's appearance, a sour feeling in his heart flashed, Wu Qian also noticed that he turned off his mobile phone directly, turned around and walked to those independent seating areas, and began to help find it.

"Thank you, Miss Wu Qian."

Jewell had to say something in a low voice, Wu Qian pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a hot surge in her heart, she looked at her chest, this place has not been so throbbing for many years.

Wu Qian has dated many men since the divorce, but in the end they all ended in quarrels, Wu Qian has always been a person for so many years, and no longer has any dealings with men, she glanced at Jewell from time to time, and pressed her hand on her chest, which is a heart-warming feeling, and there is a little surprise in her heart.

Jewell was still desperately looking for a picture of his mother, and he wanted to get out of this awkward atmosphere as soon as possible, and then go to the meal and take a good shower and sleep.

The facilities in the shed were relatively complete, and Jewell just wanted to lie back in bed, rest until tomorrow morning, and then walk around.

"Little brother, come and see, is this one?"

Jewell immediately got out of his chair and went to a seating area that looked relatively refreshing, with a blue sky and white cloud pattern, his eyes widened, looking at the photo Wu Qian was holding in his hand.

The photo is very strange, only the mother is alone, and there is no one next to her, the mother smiled sweetly, holding someone's hand, leaning on whose arm, which Jewell has never seen, the mother showed a sweet and happy expression, the person next to him is obviously taller than the mother, but there is no appearance of this person next to him.

"Who is it?"

"It must be that person."

Jewell looked at Wu Qian suspiciously, Wu Qian said, I did have a little impression before, that man was very handsome and gentle, and he had indeed been in the store with a certain woman a few times, he was a funny and gentle man, and he felt like a warm wind.

Jewell took the photo and looked at it carefully, there was no date, and there was no information, the only thing he could see was the appearance of his mother, but it seemed that his mother was really happy at that time, Jewell didn't know who this man was, he showed a sad expression.

"Little brother, I'm sorry about your mother's business, I'm hungry, do you want to go upstairs first, I'll get you something to eat?"

Jewell was a little surprised, but quickly shook his head.

"No thanks, Miss Wu Qian, I ........."

As soon as Jewell put away the photo, Wu Qian pressed Jewell's wrist at this time, Jewell felt even more embarrassed, looking at the smiling Wu Qian, Jewell didn't know where to put his eyes and what kind of words to say.

"Little brother, sister, I helped you anyway, it's not free!"

Jewell understood, and immediately reached out for the money in a panic, no matter how much money it was, it didn't matter, but when Jewell just took out the money, Wu Qian was embarrassed.

"Little brother, my sister doesn't mean this, you see if you can accompany your sister, talk or not, I have a very familiar feeling when I see you, maybe I'm the same as you, I didn't have a mother when I was very young."

Jewell was a little surprised, he didn't know whether to refuse or accept, he had zero experience with women in the past, and the only women of the same age he had come into contact with since he was a child was Niya, and the only older women were his mother.

"Yes........ OK! ”

Jewell replied with some stammering, Wu Qian smiled and walked out of the store directly with Jewell, after Jewell stretched out his hand to help pull down the store's roller shutter door, Wu Qian pointed to the small staircase next to the store, and Jewell followed up with anxiety in his heart.

After the door opened, Jewell's tense atmosphere reached its peak, and he began to sweat all over, because this was the first time he had come to a strange woman's room, although he had been to Niya's room countless times in the past, but in Jewell's eyes, Niya really couldn't be counted as a man.

The room is very warmly furnished, everything is cleaned up neatly, the whole space is quiet, and there is no noisy noise outside, Wu Qian smiled and began to boil water, there has not been a transformation of the light and shadow material access entrance, so many utensils are still physical, especially in an open bedroom, Jewell immediately turned his head in embarrassment, and there were many women's underwear hanging on a wall inside, a lot of flowers.

Wu Qian walked over and closed the bedroom door, she walked to a kitchen next to the living room, and after opening the refrigerator, there was still a lot of fresh meat and vegetables in it.

Wu Qian would get something to eat at home in the morning and evening, but she had already eaten with her friends during the Chinese New Year today, and she didn't want to go to those boring parties, so she came back early.

Seeing that Jewell directly moved a wooden chair and sat down, instead of sitting on the sofa, the clothes on his body were a little dirty, looking a little embarrassed, and he looked at him at a loss, Wu Qian walked out, looked at Jewell who was restless, opened the bedroom door, and soon Wu Qian took out a set of birthday gifts that she bought for her boyfriend a long time ago from the cabinet, or a set of physical new clothes.

"How about taking a shower first?"

Jewell was even more embarrassed, he tilted his head, but finally took the clothes from Wu Qian's hand and entered the bathroom.

The bathroom is full of some women's things, after Jewell closed the door, his heart was constantly pounding, he took off his clothes, and began to wash it, there was a smell on his body, this is Jewell's more embarrassing place, he worked on the construction site all morning in the morning, and the clothes on his body were also soaked with sweat, exuding a smell.

Jewell's somewhat flustered mood began to be relieved, the bathroom was foggy, standing in the water flow, quietly closing his eyes, he was thinking about how to chat with Wu Qian later, which is the biggest obstacle for Jewell at present, but thinking of what Wu Qian said when he invited him upstairs, Jewell's mood was a little lighter.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Jewell put on the light blue clothes and pants that Wu Qian gave him, which just fit, Wu Qian looked at Jewell with a smile, and at this time there was a burst of aroma from the kitchen, and Jewell swallowed it.

"Sit and wait for a while, and you'll be fine in no time."

Jewell looked at the wallet that was placed aside, and he hurriedly took out two hundred yuan from it, planning to give it to Wu Qian later.

After a while, a large plate of hot fried noodles with meat and vegetables was served, and the aroma was overflowing, and Jewell swallowed it.

"Eat."

After noticing Jewell's eyes, Wu Qian stood up and walked to the bathroom.

"I've eaten it."

After Wu Qian entered, Jewell took a big bite to eat, the taste was very good, it didn't look like he could deal with it casually, ten minutes later, Jewell patted his stomach and drank a large glass of water, which was considered full, and there were bursts of dripping sound in the bathroom, and Jewell looked at the figure shaking at the frosted glass in the bathroom from time to time, and his mood was a little complicated.

At 8:31, Wu Qian walked out of the bathroom, wearing only a black lace suspender belt and a short skirt, barefoot, and half-dried hair.

Wu Qian put on a coat and took out a bottle of wine and two glasses directly from a wine cabinet.

"Do you drink?"

Jewimuna nodded.

There was a sound of running water, Wu Qian poured a glass of wine for Jewell, Jewell looked at the wine in the glass, licked his lips, when he tried this thing at first, Jewell was always difficult to get used to, but then he liked wine a little, and after drinking, he could forget a lot of things, and even forget most of his troubles for a while.

Jewell tasted it, and looked at Wu Qian, who was holding his cheek on the opposite side with some surprise, and was smiling with a wine glass in one hand, and he swallowed it.

"How's it taste?"

Jewell didn't answer, just nodded.

"When I was very young, my parents were separated, and my bastard father may be dead now, or maybe in prison, I don't know too much, but when I was sixteen or seventeen, my mother died, and that's when I took over my mother's shop and started working in the grocery business."

Jewell snorted, not knowing what to say.

"What about you!"

Wu Qian took a big sip, her cheeks had already begun to turn crimson, Jewell lowered his head in embarrassment, and didn't know what to say, so he thought for a long time before he spoke.

"My mom was very nice to me, very good!"

Wu Qian hummed, stood up and took Jewell's hand, for a while Jewell panicked, and his heart beat violently in an instant, but he did not refuse, but was obediently pulled into the living room by Wu Qian.

The two of them sat on the sofa and just looked ahead, just drinking quietly without any words.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Wu Qian asked, she didn't know why she asked like this, she was a little worried about this child, the most important thing is that this kind of loving feeling is now full of her chest, Wu Qian said and moved to Jewell's side.

Until he touched Jewell, Jewell didn't move, he just looked at the front of him, his head was full of the warmth from his mother in his memory, as well as happiness and emotion, but now all this is gone.

Jewell really wanted to talk to his mother again, he used to talk to his mother a lot of things every night, Wu Qian leaned sideways, and gently pushed Jewell's wine glass with one hand, it could be seen that he was very sad now, Jewell took a big sip in one go, he couldn't drink such a big sip on weekdays.

"Don't think about anything, you'll be more comfortable when you're drunk."

Jewell took another sip, Wu Qian smiled, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Jewell, and patted Jewell's back gently and comfortingly.

Jewell's head was a little drowsy, and the irrepressible sadness appeared on his immature cheeks, in the past few months since he came out, Jewell felt cold every night, and there was nothing around him, and he knew that no matter how he asked, how he cried, his mother would not come back.

Unconsciously, Jewell looked at the tears rolling down from his eyes, he just wanted to reach out to wipe it, but he was embraced by Wu Qian, for a while Jewell's eyes widened, and a stream of fragrance came to his nose, Jewell shed tears and felt a trace of warmth.

At this time, Jewell's flustered heart also began to become calm, Wu Qian comfortingly patted Jewell's back, stroked his forehead, and the two hugged each other like this.

The feeling now is peculiar for both of them, and Wu Qian doesn't know why she has such a feeling that this teenager hasn't appeared for a long time, and so does Jewell, he feels warm.

Consciousness became more and more blurred, Jewell felt that his body was very hot, and drunkenness hit, he closed his eyes, and at this time Wu Qian helped Jewell up.

"Let's go to the room, we need to be relaxed for each other, you just have to hold me tight."

Jewimuna nodded.

After the bedroom door opened, Jewell stumbled and fell in, Wu Qian pressed Jewell in a daze, her face was full of tenderness, she took off her coat and closed the door of the room.

9:11 p.m

Yin Xiangrin stretched her body comfortably, patting the stomach of her subordinates, she hadn't let go of eating like this for a long time, and this meal was still invited by Jean, this barbecue cost at least 500 yuan, which was too expensive for Yin Xiangrin.

"Thank you, Jean-sama."

Jean smiled and took a sip of wine, looking at the tall barbecue plates stacked next to him, but he didn't eat much vegetables.

"Do you need stomach medicine?"

Looking at Yin Xiangrin, who was covering his mouth, Jean said with a smile.

"It's okay, my digestion is good, and I'm working hard every day."

The two asked for a small private room on the second floor near the street, and Jean continued to drink, not going to ask anything, just waiting for the little girl to speak.

"Actually, Mr. Jean, I'm in love now, and I've discussed marriage with each other."

"Congratulations to Xiangrin!"

Jean said with a smile, and Yin Xiangrin pressed his head in annoyance.

"It's Wu Qun."

Jean was a little surprised, but soon understood what Yin Xiangrin was worried about, now the faction of the councillor and the acting department are in a sense of antagonism, and if the two of them get married, the impact on the outside world will be very violent, and this is the problem.

Because both of them are in high positions, this is the most troublesome reason, which is the fundamental reason why Yin Xianglin wants to resign, Wu Qun is obviously impossible to stop, over the years, Jean has watched Wu Qun all the way, and he has indeed done too much, and now the parliamentarian faction is inseparable from him.

"Anyway, I am actually dispensable in the general affairs department, and the general manager often helps me deal with some things, and the most important thing is that I can't stand this kind of work nature, I have to think about how to talk and how to do things all day long, what to say and what not to say, I have to think about something every day in my head, and I always feel that I can't stand it."

Jean smiled and nodded.

"Karin, if you resign now, it will become a big problem."

Yin Xianglin pressed her head in annoyance, she was born in a relatively wealthy family in the upper class, and when she used to interview at the school of the General Affairs Department, she just wanted to try it, because Yin Xianglin hated the university at that time and didn't want to go.

Now my parents and relatives are very happy, and they will often say some compliments at family gatherings, hoping to get Yoon Heung-rin's help.

"Ten years!"

Jean said, and Yoon Xiangrin's mouth opened wide.

"Just do it for another ten years, and I'll find a way to find a successor."

Although Yin Xianglin was a little reluctant, she could only nod, and she only dared to tell Jean about this matter, and she didn't dare to tell Locke Jiahui at all, because Locke Jiahui was determined to train her to become the next head of the General Affairs Section, and he always instilled something in Yin Xianglin's words and actions.

"By the way, Lord Jean, don't you feel tired? Now you're dealing with the big things in the city alone, and you need to run around the city a lot, and I feel tired to think about it. ”

Jean smiled and shook his head, as the boss pushed the door open, respectfully holding a glass of wine.

"Lord Jean, I toast you."

Yin Xiangrin looked at this unattractive boss a little strangely, the business of this shop is really hot, and the taste is really good, which is different from ordinary barbecue.

After Jean took a sip, the boss respectfully bent down and retreated to the door.

"Mr. Jean, what else do you want to eat, you're welcome, I'll invite you to this meal."

Jean waved his hand.

"No boss, I'm inviting this young lady to dinner today."

The boss didn't say anything more, looked at Jean gratefully, and gently closed the door of the room after going out.

"He's a convict who used to write me a parole application."

Yin Xiangrin nodded understandingly, Jean knew a lot of people, so many that Yin Xiangrin was a little surprised.

"By the way, Lord Jean, what do you think of Lao Wu?"

"It's already been discussed to get married, do you still call him Lao Wu?"

Yin Xiangrin was embarrassed and shook her head with a grin.

"Everybody called him that, and ........"

"He is very good, if you marry him, you will be happy for the rest of your life."

Yin Xiangrin lowered her head in embarrassment, hummed quietly, and her troubles were swept away, and this sentence came out of Jean's mouth, which was much more credible than anyone else.

"There's just one problem, you have to deal with things at work, and I hope you and him can keep it a secret for the time being, don't reveal it to anyone, although I've heard that you've dated people on vacation many times recently, but at least be more restrained and don't be photographed."

Yin Xiangrin nodded and stood up.

"Mr. Jean, let's go back to the General Affairs Section quickly, there should be a lot of work accumulated, the efficiency of the General Affairs Section is really too low, but you are much better today."

Jean stood up with a smile and nodded, Locke's work ability is undoubted, but he can't put on a wicked face many times, and he is very good to everyone, so the General Affairs Section is indeed a little loose, although Yin Xianglin has outstanding work ability, but most of the people in the General Affairs Section are classmates, and many things can't be strict.

At present, the most efficient section of the department is 5 sections, which is really like an iron-blooded machine, as long as Alpha issues any orders, 5 departments can be quickly and efficiently assembled and quickly deal with affairs.

Other subjects have some internal problems in the department, man-made or force majeure, etc., which does not mean that students do not do well, they need to continue to accumulate experience, and then pass on these valuable experiences to the next generation.

The two left the store quickly, and many people on the street stopped to watch, and many people laughed for a while, some were envious and some were helpless.

"Let's go straight through the alley, okay Lord Jean, otherwise tomorrow there will be rumors of improper relationships between Section 13 Chief Jean and women."

Jean smiled and shook his head, he had never cared about the lace news, but he and Yin Xiangrin jumped directly from an alley to the top floor of a house, and quickly jumped towards the General Affairs Section.

9:41 a.m

The main street of each district is full of celebratory crowds, everyone is celebrating the New Year, a restaurant located in the middle level close to the former site of Genshin Impact Academy, Locke Jiahui and Yu Wanrou looked at the crowd surging out the window, the two chatted happily today, basically talking about things in the past school, Locke Jiahui originally thought that Yu Wanrou would go back to the area on the bottom floor where she stayed when she was a child, but she didn't expect it to be here.

"Fat brother, I have regarded this place as my home a long time ago, but now that this place is gone, we can't go back."

Locke Jiahui snorted, watching the light shine on Wanrou's quiet and beautiful face, he always felt warm in his heart, this little girl is really getting more and more beautiful, but there is a trace of anger on Yu Wanrou's face.

"What's wrong with me!"

Locke just picked up the wine glass, swallowed a mouthful, and hurriedly said with a smile.

"It's good everywhere, Wanrou, we're ......... Do you want to go to the movies, or .........."

"Answer me fat brother."

Locke thought for a moment and then took a deep breath.

"I don't think we're really fit ......... right now"

"I'm going to resign from the Acting Section, I'm quitting."

Locke Jiahui took a sip of wine, Yu Wanrou got up directly, turned around and was about to leave, Locke hurriedly walked over, grabbed Yu Wanrou's hand, Yu Wanrou's strength was very strong.

"If that's your reason, fat brother, I can resign from the Department and take care of everything at home, so that we don't have conflicts."

Locke hesitated, Yu Wanrou's strength also became smaller, and she covered her mouth with one hand.

"Why, exactly? If you don't like me, tell me clearly so that I can die........"

A pair of big hands hugged Yu Wanrou from behind, and Locke gently leaned his head over, his eyes closed.

"I'm sorry Wanrou, I shouldn't have been like this for so many years, I like you, it's true, I confirmed it in an instant."

Yu Wanrou turned her head in surprise, but soon she closed her eyes, accompanied by the bursts of fireworks outside and the flashing neon lights, Locke Jiahui kissed Yu Wanrou, and the two hugged tightly.

At this moment, Yu Wanrou was already in tears, and Locke only felt self-blame, he had let Yu Wanrou go for too long, and now it was time to make the decision that a man should have.
