"Boss, why has Officer Wei been looking for you lately?" After returning to the store, Mu Shi came over and asked curiously.

Wen Tao shook his head: "Trust me, you won't want to know." ”

"Oh." Mu Shi lowered his head when he heard this, and then quickly reacted again, and said, "No, how do you know if I want to know if you want to know?" ”

Wen Tao said twice: "Then I'll say it directly, I just don't want to tell you." ”

Mu Shi stuck out his tongue: "Bah, stingy ghost, I'm not just thinking about you." ”

Wen Tao was slightly moved in his heart, but he still said stiffly: "Silly girl, do you think I can still encounter something that I can't handle?" ”

Mu Shi twisted his head: "Hmph, you just brag about you." With that, he left again.

Mu Shi knew Officer Wei, and seeing that he had come to the bookstore many times in the past few days to look for Wen Tao, and had heard a few phone calls intermittently, he knew that Wen Tao must have been in some trouble recently, and this trouble was not small - after all, no one likes to deal with doctors or police officers often.

"I hope it's not because of that serial murder case...... "Mu Shi prayed in his heart.

It's not that Mu Shi guessed accurately, but combined with the words of Wen Tao and Wei Xiao who got off work early every night in the past few days and Wen Tao and Wei Xiao a few times, he came to the conclusion that although Wen Tao often called her a stupid girl, she was not really stupid. On the contrary, in addition to mathematics, Moser is sometimes very smart.

Of course, Mu Shi didn't know what role Wen Tao played on Wei Xiao's side, so he was only slightly worried.

If it is just out of the relationship between superiors and subordinates at work, it is obvious that the relationship between the two is a little closer, but just as Wen Tao sees Mu Shi as his half sister, Mu Shi also sees Wen Tao as his half brother.

When he just came out of society, he found many jobs in a row and was rejected at a young age, and he didn't have a penny in his pocket, it was Wen Tao who took him in, not only providing a job that far exceeded the market price, but also caring about himself.

After all, not every boss will take the initiative to help their employees find a house, and they also take the initiative to offer housing subsidies when they are worried about safety issues, so that they can live in a better environment.

Mu Shi once thought that the boss was interesting to him, but it was only in later contact that he gradually realized that he just regarded himself as a junior, and let go of the fear that he would be unspoken rules, and then he gradually became close to Wen Tao, and dared to joke casually.

Today's children are very precocious, not to mention sixteen or seventeen-year-old Mu Shi, even if they are only twelve or thirteen-year-old students, they already understand these things, but Mu Shi's mother often teaches her that as a girl, she must be clean and self-conscious, so Mu Shi and Chu Zixuan have been dating for a year, and they will stop at the level of kissing.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a strange man came in the bookstore.

He had a melancholy look on his face, as if there was some knot in his heart that could not be dissolved.

If it just seems to be in a bad mood, it's not surprising, many people choose to read a book to relax when they are in a bad mood, and when they are immersed in the wonderful stories in the book, they will gradually forget the boring things of the past, which is similar to drinking, listening to music, and watching movies.

The strange thing about this man is that after he walked into the bookstore, he went straight to the family life area, opened "From Scratch, Learn How to Keep a Man's Stomach" and read it.

He looked slowly, but if you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were foggy, his focus was not on the book, and his eyes were full of longing and sadness.

The reason why Wen Tao noticed him was this book—it was the last book Xiao Fang bought here, and it was also a book that she would rather die than let go.

Looking at it, the man's tears dripped down.

"Give." Wen Tao walked over and handed him a pack of tissues.

The man raised his head, and Wen Tao found that his eyes were red, and his facial features were distorted because of the tears he was holding back, as if he couldn't cry, which was the only dignity he had left as a man.

But the abnormality here still made a few customers around notice, some of them couldn't help crying on the spot in the bookstore because of what books he read, Mu Shi smelled the gossip, and also came to the side and pretended to organize the bookshelves and eavesdropped.

"I'm sorry, boss, I soiled your book......" he said, taking the tissue and opening his mouth, his voice choked so choked that he could barely hear it.

"It's okay, you're Wu Fanghua's fiancé, right?" Wen Tao said calmly, Wu Fanghua is Xiaofang's name.

"How do you ...... Know? ”

"Because she told me that your stomach is not good, and she wants you to eat only the food she cooks alone after you marry her."

Hearing this, the man's tear ducts, which were about to stop crying, completely collapsed, and he was sobbing, but he couldn't care whether other people would be disturbed or what they would think of him.

At this moment, he just wanted to cry, just wanted to vent the grief of the lost loved one in his heart, nothing more.

"It's me who is sorry for her! I'm sorry for her! His cries were heard not only in the surroundings, but also in the entire bookstore, and many customers frowned at being too noisy.

Wen Tao didn't interrupt him because of the other people's reactions, just stood quietly beside him and let him vent on his own. In fact, Wen Tao could guess how sad a man should be at this moment just by remembering Xiaofang's happy look when he said this.

Two people who love each other so much, have been working hard in a big city for many years, and when they are about to achieve positive results, a sudden accident separates the two forever, and it is too cruel for them.

There was once news that a young couple was killed when the man went to jump into the river to save people, and the woman broke down and cried for three days, but still chose to follow the man and committed suicide.

The suicide note left behind was only one sentence: "He is dead, I don't know what the point of being alive is." ”

Wen Tao does not approve of this approach, but admires this spirit. Now that divorce has become the norm and breakups have become a trend, how precious it is to have such a sincere love.

It is precisely because of the rarity that it can be more moving.

After a while, the man's emotions gradually calmed down, and after wiping away his tears, he forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I miss her too much......"

Wen Tao shook his head and said he didn't care.

After the man exhaled a breath of turbidity, except for the reddish circles under his eyes, there was no trace of the emotional loss he had just now.

He raised his right hand and shook hands with Wen Tao, and said, "Hello boss, my name is Zhou Wenqiang, and I am Fangfang's fiancé, how did you meet?" ”

When talking about Xiaofang, Zhou Wenqiang's expression darkened, but he quickly recovered.

What attracts them to each other is the appearance of being strong and working hard in the city, so Xiaofang will not like his weak crying.

"Just call me Wen Tao, Xiaofang is my regular customer, and I have been buying books here since the first opening of my bookstore in 18 years......"

Wen Tao took Zhou Wenqiang out of the bookstore, found a chair by the river to sit down, and told him about the process of knowing Xiao Fang, but in fact, there is nothing to talk about, every time Xiao Fang comes over, he either takes away the academic books and periodicals ordered in advance, or sits in the corner to read various planning cases, Wen Tao has not seen even once Xiao Fang read books that can improve his competitiveness in the workplace.

The only exception is the last time I bought the recipe, and now I don't have a chance to open it again.
