It was not yet six o'clock in the morning, Xia Houdun woke up, he subconsciously turned over and wanted to grab the mobile phone from the bedside table, but put his hand on the side of Chen Xuan's face. Xiahoudun smiled, only to realize that he was already a husband. He withdrew his hand, propped himself up slightly, put his head next to Chen Xuan's face, quietly admired his wife's sleeping appearance, and after a while, lowered his head again and kissed Chen Xuan's side face.

"Xiaowen ......" After Chen Xuan was kissed by Xiahoudun, he suddenly muttered in a low voice, the voice was very weak, if it wasn't for the quiet morning, I'm afraid no one would be able to hear it.

Xiaowen? Or Xiao Lun? Xiahoudun didn't hear clearly, he knew that Chen Xuan was shouting a person's name, but that name was definitely not his own. This made Xiahoudun's heart tighten, and he couldn't help but speculate about various possibilities in his mind.

"You got up so early?" Chen Xuan opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Xiahoudun with a smile.

Maybe it's an auditory hallucination! Xiahoudun looked at his wife's face, and his sense of happiness suddenly increased, and he didn't want to think about those useless things anymore, "Ah, get up and make breakfast." ”

"That's not good," Chen Xuan said as he rubbed his eyes, "I'll have to make breakfast." ”

"Huh?" Xiahoudun was about to get out of bed, when he heard Chen Xuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, sat on the edge of the bed, turned his head and said, "How can this be done?" How can you be allowed to cook? ”

Chen Xuan sat up, smiled at Xiahoudun, and said, "Why not?" Am I not good at cooking? ”

"Not really." Xiahoudun hurriedly replied, and then explained, "It's just that it's not appropriate to let your daughter-in-law get up early to make breakfast." ”

"If your life before marriage is the same as after marriage, wouldn't your daughter-in-law marry for nothing?" As he spoke, Chen Xuan got out of bed and took off his nightdress, ready to change into his daily clothes.

Seeing that Chen Xuan was about to change his clothes, Xiahoudun, who was not used to living together, subconsciously twisted his face to the side and waited quietly.

After a while, Chen Xuan changed his clothes and saw that Xiahoudun had been staring at the curtains, so he leaned over curiously and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Xiahoudun turned his head, glanced at Chen Xuan, and replied, "I didn't see anything, I just avoided your gaze when I saw you changing your clothes." ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Chen Xuan was stunned for a while, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect my little boy to be a simple child." With that, he laughed again. Then, Chen Xuan touched Xiahoudun's head, and walked towards the door, saying as he walked: "Little friend, my sister is going to make breakfast for you!" So he went out.

"You!" Xiahoudun looked at the door of the house, not knowing what to say. He has always been a machismo, no matter what he does, he will never ask for anything he can do, especially when he treats his beloved, always thinking about not letting Chen Xuan do anything, looking forward to Chen Xuan's dependence on him. Therefore, Xiahoudun was very concerned about the fact that Chen Xuan was older than him, and he was worried and disgusted that Chen Xuan would joke about this matter, and today, this joke finally came out. Xiahoudun shook his head helplessly, stood up, and began to get dressed.

After Chen Xuan finished washing, he came to the kitchen, tied up his long hair, and began to prepare today's breakfast. Although Chen Xuan does not cook as often as Xiahoudun on weekdays, the delicacy and natural wisdom of women give her cooking skills that are no worse than Xiahoudun, and after a while, all the equipment in the kitchen began to work in an orderly manner.

"It smells so good!" Xia Houling's voice came from upstairs. Xiahou Ling walked up the stairs with a smile and jumped to Chen Xuan's side, "I heard it upstairs." ”

"I'm hungry, I'll be fine in a while." Chen Xuan said to Xiaoling with a smile while boiling the creamy mushroom soup.

"Where did you decide to go on your newlywed trip?" Xiahou Ling asked with a smile.

"Your brother said to go to Qiong Island and leave in two days." Chen Xuan scooped a spoonful of soup, put it in a small bowl, tasted it, and then walked over to the oven to take a look.

"That's good." Xiahou Ling said a word, and then sighed softly, "I really want to go to ...... too"

"What are you going to do?" At this time, Xiahou Yuan walked upstairs, looked at Xiahou Ling and said, "The two of them are newly married, what kind of light bulb are you going to be." ”

After hearing this, Xiahou Ling stuck out her tongue at Xiahou Yuan, and stopped talking.

"Don't regret it, I'll take you out for the Spring Festival." Chen Xuan said, took out the roasted bacon toast from the oven, distributed it to the plate, and brought it to the dining table, "Go back and pick a place." ”

"Really?" Xiao Ling became excited when she heard this, and hugged Chen Xuan, who had just put the food on the table, "It's better to be Sister Chen Xuan!" No, it's my sister-in-law! ”

Xiahoudun, who had just finished washing, walked into the hall and did not speak, just leaned against the wall with a smile and looked at everything in front of him.

When Xiahou Yuan saw that his eldest brother came out, he walked over and said, "Are you still working on the first day of marriage?" ”

"I don't want to go either," Xiahoudun moved his gaze to Xiahouyuan, "It's just that there are too many things in the group, and I have scheduled to go to Qiongdao with Chen Xuan in two days, and I think I still have to go to the group today to explain some things." ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't speak, just nodded twice, then walked to the gate and took the newspaper.

"The meal is ready, let's eat." Chen Xuan untied his apron while calling everyone for breakfast. On the dining table, a simple but not simple French breakfast has been presented in front of everyone, roasted bacon toast, latte, and creamy mushroom soup all exude an attractive luster, all boasting of Chen Xuan's cooking skills with facts.

"Sister-in-law is amazing!" Xiahou Ling praised loudly and was the first to sit in the seat. And Xiahou Yuan also sat down and drank the soup after him. Only Xiahoudun didn't move for a long time, just intervened and watched there quietly.

"Why don't you eat?" Chen Xuan was a little surprised when he saw that Xiahoudun didn't move, so he stepped forward and said in a provocative tone: "Is the little friend waiting for my sister to feed you?" ”

Xiahoudun glanced at Chen Xuan, his face turned a little red, he subconsciously glanced at the expressions of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ling, and saw that they were all looking at him with a smile, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, but he didn't speak, just shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the dining table.

After breakfast, the family began their day's work. Chen Xuan had more than 20 days of vacation because he had marriage leave and annual leave, so he didn't go to work, but cleaned up the house at home and sorted out the things for travel. And the Xiahou brothers first drove Xiahou Ling to school, and then drove to the Yuanrang group.

The car stopped at the door of the Yuanrang group, and the two Xiahou brothers got out of the car and walked towards the office building.

"The team leader is early, and the section chief Xiahou is early!" When Qiao Lili saw the two brothers coming in, she greeted her.

"Morning!" Xiahoudun responded, walked to the front desk, and looked at the letter on it, "Is there my letter?" ”

"Nope!" Qiao Lili replied, and asked Xiahoudun again: "Team leader, did you come to the unit on the first day of your wedding?" ”

"Well," Xiahoudun nodded, stopping rummaging in his hand, "I'm going to travel the day after tomorrow, so I'll come and see it today." ”

"The bride is so beautiful!" Qiao Lili said with a smile, "It's a pity that I couldn't go to the scene yesterday, but I looked at the photos they posted." ”

Hearing this, Xiahoudun smiled, and then quickly took out a bag of sugar from his handbag, "Come, eat sugar!" ”

"Thank you, team leader, happy newlywed!" Qiao Lili took the candy and looked at Xiahoudun with a smile.

Xiahoudun also smiled, and walked towards the second floor with Xiahouyuan.

When Xiahou Yuan reached the second floor, he walked to his department, while Xiahou Yuan continued to go upstairs to his office.

As soon as he entered the office, Xiahoudun was stunned, and saw Chen Xuan's uncle Cheng Shangqian sitting on the sofa in the team leader's office drinking tea.

Cheng Shangqian saw that Xiahou was coming, so he got up and said, "Team leader Xiahou, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"Uncle, sit down." Xiahoudun hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Shangqian sit down and asked, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”

Cheng Shangqian sat on the sofa, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "I have one thing I want to ask Team Leader Xiahou to help investigate. ”

"Don't you dare to say the word 'please', if you have any orders, just ask." Xiahoudun sat down beside Cheng Shangqian, tested the temperature of the teacup on the coffee table in front of Cheng Shangqian with his hand, and touched Shang Wen, so there was no squeak.

Cheng Shangqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Team Leader Xiahou should take off his coat first." ”

"Oh, okay." Xiahoudun put the briefcase on the shelf on the side, took off his windbreaker, hung it on the clothes rack, and then sat down next to Cheng Shangqian again, and said: "Don't mention the word 'team leader', you are Chen Xuan's uncle, that is, my uncle, you can call me 'Xiaodun'." ”

"All right, Nick." Cheng Shangqian looked at Xiahoudun with a smile, looking at this young man who was different from himself, and for some reason there was an indescribable trust in his heart.

"Tell me," asked Xiahoudun, "what do you want me to investigate?" ”

Cheng Shangqian picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Oh, do you know that Chen Xuan also has an uncle, that is, my younger brother, named Cheng Shangyuan?" ”

"Cheng Shangyuan?" Xiahoudun thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's or not, but I once heard Chen Xuan mention that she has a second uncle who seems to have died in a car accident." ”

"Yes." Cheng Shangqian put down the teacup, his eyes were confused at first, and then he looked at Xiahoudun again, and said, "He was also a member of the Spirit Record Bureau, and he worked with me in the Secret Research Institute. Originally, my younger brother had stronger academic ability than me, who was an elder brother, but I didn't expect to pass away at a young age, and it has been 20 years. ”

Xiahoudun sighed deeply and asked again: "Excuse me, do the second aunt and the second uncle have children?" ”

"Mengwan also passed away in that car accident." Cheng Shangqian shook his head and said sadly, although twenty years have passed, but now that he thinks about it, his eyes are still red, and he is a little choked up when he speaks, "I only know that the two of them gave birth to a child, and they were born shortly before they died, I don't know the boys, girls, or what they are called, but I mentioned in the letter that Mengwan is going to give birth, and now I don't know if it is life or ......death."

"Twenty years ago...... Xiahou thought for a moment and said, "If you are alive, you have grown up." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Cheng Shangqian sighed and said, "It's just that in the past twenty years, I haven't been able to find this child. ”

"Didn't find it?" Xiahoudun was taken aback, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Cheng Shangqian wiped his eyes a little and said: "The child was in the car at the time, and when the police notified us to claim the remains of our family, we and Mengwan's mother's house went to cry a lot. As a result, when the body was retrieved, and when I wanted to pick up the baby by the way, the police said that the baby was missing for some reason. At first, we had a fight with Mengwan's mother's family, thinking that the other party had picked up the child. ”

"There is such a thing...... "Xiahoudun listened and muttered in agreement.

Cheng Shangqian picked up the teacup, took another sip of tea, and said: "We put aside the child's matter first, but just when we wanted to ask the cause of the accident, the police's answer shocked us even more. I still remember that the police said that he could tell from the rut marks of the car that the car did not brake at that time, but directly hit something? ”

"'What'? What the hell is it? Xiahou asked in surprise.

"I don't know," Cheng Shangqian shook his head and recalled, "The police said that the car didn't hit any cars or surrounding objects, otherwise with this kind of impact, residues would definitely be found around." At the scene, there were only traces of fragments of Cheng Shangyuan's car, that is, the car was hit like this by something invisible. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Xiahoudun echoed again, saying: "This can indeed be regarded as a supernatural incident, and the Spirit Record Bureau has the obligation to accept this case." With that, Xiahoudun got up and prepared to go to the desk to get the application form.

But Cheng Shangqian hurriedly stopped Xiahoudun and said, "No! Don't take the application form! ”
