Chapter 21: Pity

As soon as I changed into my slippers, I was pulled by Meng Meng to sit on the sofa and watch Korean dramas with her. Jiang Lina came out of the kitchen, made tea for me and Li Rusong, and said gently, "Brother Cheng will wait for dinner, you can drink tea first."

Li Rusong hurriedly said, "That little Jiang Ha, don't soak it for me, Brother Li, I'm a little hot, I'll find something cold to drink in my own refrigerator." ”

I looked at him speechlessly, if I remember correctly, this looks like my home, how can this thing look like the owner compared to me!

Mengmeng watched Li Rusong rummaging in the refrigerator unhurriedly, and said to him angrily, "What are you doing!" Steal your uncle's stuff and eat it without your uncle's consent! ”

I heard Meng Meng scolding Li Rusong, and secretly praised the little girl, thinking that this girl didn't hurt in vain. Just when I was about to praise the little girl, the second sentence that came out of her mouth made my eyes black.

"Don't you know that Uncle is very hard? Working alone to support me and my sister! You steal everything, and the uncle has to spend money to buy it! What should I do when my uncle and sister have a baby and have no money to buy milk powder! ”

As soon as Meng Meng finished washing, there was a sound of plates falling to the floor in the kitchen. Jiang Lina rushed out, blushing and yelling at Mengmeng, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Li Rusong stood in front of the refrigerator and said with an embarrassed face, "That, I'll still drink tea, it's good to drink tea, children are important!" ”

I suddenly felt like crying, when I was in the army, I didn't cry in North Africa, I didn't cry in Central Asia, I didn't cry in the Amazon, but now I want to cry.

I couldn't stand watching these two people play treasure, so I silently walked into the kitchen and squatted on the ground to clean up the broken plates. Jiang Lina followed in, and when she saw me squatting on the ground to clean up the debris, she said with red eyes and grievances, "Brother Cheng, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's a big deal," I smiled at her. Collecting the pieces and throwing them in the waste basket, I walked up to Jiang Lina and gently rubbed her little head.

"Brother Cheng, you hate it!" Jiang Lina turned her head and returned to the stove to continue cooking.

I leaned against the cupboard across the stove and watched her with her long hair curled up and her apron carefully stir-frying, and suddenly felt a warmth that I had not felt in a long time.

Jiang Lina found me secretly watching her from behind, and kicked me out of the kitchen with a red face, saying that I disturbed her stir-frying.

Back in the living room, I saw Li Rusong half-lying on the sofa, with his feet cocked in the corner of the coffee table, comfortably nibbling on apples, and Meng Meng was holding the "rice cake" and looking at him hatefully.

Walking up to him, I kicked the creature in the leg and motioned for him to get up. Li Rusong looked at me with a confused face and asked, "I said, Old Chengha, what do you mean?" ”

The corners of my mouth twitched and said, "You think it's your house?" Let's go! ”

He patted his head and said, "Lying grass, I really thought it was my home!" ”

Soon after dinner, I sent Li Rusong away early on the excuse that I was going to go on a mission tomorrow, but I didn't expect this thief to die, and before leaving, he also took away a box of blue can cookies, saying why have breakfast tomorrow.

After Li Rusong left, Jiang Lina and Mengmeng washed in the kitchen, while I sat on the sofa and watched the Dragon TV news channel while teasing the "rice cake" to relieve boredom.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Meng Meng went back to his room to take a bath. Jiang Lina sat next to me and quietly peeled oranges. I looked at the oranges, which were not much bigger than a dollar coin, and asked curiously, "Can't you buy something bigger?" I'm tired of seeing you peel it! ”

She sneered at me and said, "There are different varieties, but this little tangerine is sweeter." As he spoke, he shoved one into my mouth.

I peeled a dozen small oranges, Jiang Lina left a few for me, and put the rest on a plate and sent them to Meng Meng's room. When she got back to the living room, I asked her why she didn't eat it. She said she didn't like to eat oranges.

I obviously didn't believe this, remembering what she said last night, I know that this girl has suffered a lot since she was a child, and there must be a little bit of delicious food left for Mengmeng. So I deliberately divided the orange into two portions with a straight face, and said to her, "One person and half, don't skip it!" ”

I watched Jiang Lina break the oranges, one by one, and eat them slowly, thinking to myself, is it necessary to eat this kind of orange, which is not much larger than the diameter of a dollar, so delicate.

Although I am not an expert in psychology like Qi Shuguo, I can also see that Jiang Lina's behavior is not that kind of pretentiousness, and her little habits are caused by the misfortune of her childhood, which made her develop this cautious character.

At this time, I suddenly thought of the task assigned to me by Wu Shaodong, and I had a big head, although I knew very well that as a police officer, this was what I had to do, and Jiang Lina's information about his parents was crucial to this case, but such a direct inquiry would definitely hurt her. I looked at this girl and suddenly felt a wave of pity in my heart, and unconsciously pulled her over and hugged her in my arms.

Jiang Lina was concentrating on breaking the orange petals, and Ben didn't expect that I would suddenly hold her, and I didn't react until I was held in my arms. I could clearly feel her trembling gently in my arms, and Jiang Lina shyly buried her little head in my chest, not daring to move.

I don't know why I hugged her all of a sudden, whether I fell in love with her, or if I pitied her, or even treated her as a substitute for my sister, I couldn't tell, but I knew that I wouldn't hurt her for whatever reason.

I hugged Jiang Lina like this, without saying a word, and she also buried herself in my arms without saying a word, holding quietly, without a trace of desire, but enjoying the feeling very much.

After a while, I relieved myself and opened Jiang Lina lightly. She slowly raised her head in my arms, a pair of misty eyes under her long eyelashes, looked at me a little confused, and asked softly, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong?" ”

I stroked her long chestnut hair and said, "It's getting late, let's get some rest." I'll take you tomorrow to buy some bedding or something. ”

Jiang Lina blushed and refused, "Don't bother, I'll just use your original set."

"Silly girl, you can use me, but I don't have to use it, what about cuteness? Speaking of which, I made a mistake and forgot to bring it back from work. So decided, rest early, and we'll leave tomorrow morning. ”

Then I sent her to my original master bedroom, and after helping her close the door, I lay down on the sofa, thinking to myself, I really have to buy sheets and quilts or something, there are two sets at home, and they are used by these two girls, but I didn't expect to have to sleep on the sofa when I return to my home, helpless.

At the same time, in the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau

"Xiaoying, what did you find?" Wu Shaodong stood at the door of the testing room of the trace examination department of the testing room and asked Chen Xinying, who was comparing fingerprint samples with a microscope on the experimental operation table.

Chen Xinying put down the work she was doing, got up and walked in front of Wu Shaodong, and replied helplessly, "There are not many valuable clues, the samples of the glove factory have existed for too long, the fingerprints are too badly damaged, and the fingerprint database in China was not perfect at that time, so you know."

"Then let's get off work first, work is not something that can be done in one day."

"Alright then, it's almost 7 o'clock, it's time to get off work." Chen Xinying raised her hand to look at the delicate lady's watch on her wrist, and proposed to Wu Shaodong with her mouth in her mouth, "Brother-in-law, you invite me to dinner, you haven't eaten with others for a long time."

Wu Shaodong smiled, "Go ahead, pack up and we'll go."

"Hehe, brother-in-law is the best! I want to eat Haidilao! Chen Xinying happily began to sort out the samples on the operating table.

Wu Shaodong leaned on the door frame of the testing room and looked at her quietly, Chen Xinying looked very similar to her sister, both belonged to the appearance of that kind of classical beauty, a pair of smart eyes under the willow eyebrows, and the corners of the eyes were slightly upturned. The straight bridge of the nose and a small mouth are very suitable for her goose egg face.

If there is any difference with her sister, it is that Xiaoyi is more quiet, and Xiaoying always has a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

After quickly cleaning up the operating table, Chen Xinying changed her clothes and left the city bureau with Wu Shaodong's arm.
