"Brother Moe! Here and here! ”

As soon as Guo Tanya, who was sitting in the Water Heaven Western Restaurant, saw Sun Meng walk in the door, she quickly got up and waved to him excitedly.

On the evening of the end of July in Tanigawa City, small fans flow fireflies and cicadas chirp.

The food stalls on Kwun Tong Street are steaming hot. People sitting outside the shop were shirtless, with waist skewers, draft beer glasses, and draft beer barrels surrounding them. Three or five friends are rowing fists, staggering, so lively.

At night, the fragrance becomes more and more intense. From time to time, a few couples in love will come to the food stall hand in hand. The summer night wind was sticky, and they either drank a cup of milk tea together, or fed each other's food into each other's mouths.

The temperature of a summer night brings with it a restless hormonal scent.

If the food in the ancient lanes of Sichuan represents the historical memory of Tanigawa City, Kwun Tong Street is more about carrying the charm of modern taste.

Therefore, there are not only food stalls filled with smoke and aroma on this street, but also Western restaurants with magnificent decoration and elegant and quiet style.

Water Paradise Western Restaurant is one of the representatives. As one of the best restaurants in Tanigawa City, you don't have to worry about your business all year round. The constant stream of guests at the door makes it hard to find one here. Many people would rather wait in line for hours to get a taste of the place. Of course, there are also many foreigners who live here all year round.

Guo Tanya booked the location here ten days in advance. This afternoon, she came here early, for fear that her seat would be gone.

And Sun Meng also took leave with Zhang Lei early today, and before he got off work, he flew here as if he was running here. If he hadn't encountered a traffic jam on Jingqi Road, he would have arrived earlier than he did now.

Sun Meng walked over to Guo Tanya, who was sitting by the window, with a cake in her hand.

This is the best location in a water paradise with a view of the river. Through the open bay window, you can enjoy the night view of the Jialing River. The stickiness of the summer night mixed with the smell of the river breeze made them quite relaxed.

Guo Tanya looks extremely cute today. With her playful balls, she wore a pink suspender dress with an off-the-shoulder top.

"Brother Meng, you're finally here!" Guo Tanya had a sweet smile on her face, and a pool of moonlight indulged in her eyes. The pear vortex was light, and the intoxicating crimson blush to the ends of her hair.

"Happy birthday Tanya." Sun Meng put down the cake in his hand, put his hands together to his mouth, and said softly. At this moment, there is only Guo Tanya in his eyes, who is looking at him affectionately.

"Thank you, Brother Meng~~" Guo Tanya snorted happily. Her cute appearance attracted the frequent sideways glances of the two single men sitting next to her.

"It's a gift for you. See if you like it? Sun Meng took out a delicate small box from her arms and handed it to Guo Tanya.

Guo Tanya took the small box and couldn't wait to open the wrapping paper.

Three times five divided by two, a Chanel 154 lipstick appeared in front of her eyes.

"Wow! Brother Moe! It's too hard~" Guo Tanya got up and gave Sun Meng a hug, "I really can't imagine that someone as rough as you would buy this." ”

Sun Meng was silly and happy. At this time, he couldn't see what a cold-faced criminal policeman should look like on him.

Guo Tanya took the menu and gave it to Sun Meng: "Brother Meng, let's see what to eat." ”

"A steak with black pepper, medium-rare. One Japanese chicken chop, one flavorful potato salad, and two portions of mango sago sauce. ”

Guo Tanya bit her lip and couldn't stop smiling on her face.

"I'll tell you once that you'll remember my favorite food!"

"The basic qualities of a criminal policeman." Sun Meng lowered her voice and joked with Guo Tanya.

"You go away!"

"Nope! I'm not going! ”

Just when the two of them were giggling, the food was served one after another. Sun Meng carefully began to cut the cake. Guo Tanya sat there and looked at Sun Meng carefully.

Sun Meng is wearing khaki casual clothes today, and her hair is carefully blown.

"Make a wish." Sun Meng lit a candle: "After all, this is a Western restaurant, so it means to light a candle." ”

"You go away!"

"No, I'm not leaving!"

Guo Tanya pretended to be angry, she folded her hands and closed her eyes.

"I miss Brother Su! I hope Brother Su can wish me a happy birthday as well! ”

The atmosphere instantly became quiet. The noise around them seemed to have nothing to do with them.

After a long while, Guo Tanya slowly opened her eyes. She and Sun Meng had tears in the corners of their eyes.

..........

No one knows what Su Ruo means to her in Guo Tanya's heart.

Twenty-four years ago, the city of Tanigawa was hit by extreme cold. For the people of Tanigawa, who had barely seen snow, it was a year of snow that they would never want to see again for almost their entire lives.

Also in the winter of that year, four-year-old Guo Tanya also had a memory that she would never want to remember for the rest of her life.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Tanigawa City is filled with joy and harmony.

Guo Qiang's family goes to Tinglin Town, Ludi Province, 400 kilometers away, every year to celebrate the New Year. It is Guo Qiang's hometown. It is also a paradise with mountains, rivers and forests.

Guo Qiang, who was born in poverty, came from there step by step to today. Young and promising, he not only has a good career in Tanigawa City, but also has a very happy family. His wife, Han Lingli, gave birth to a lovely daughter to him four years ago, Guo Tanya.

Guo Tanya is the name chosen by Guo Qiang himself. contains Guo Qiang's deep expectations and full of love for her.

The days passed day by day, although it was dull, the family of three was very happy.

There is no direct bus to Tinglin Town. It is necessary to transit from Yitong, the capital of Ludi Province. There is only one train from Tanigawa to Ito, so it can be said that it is difficult to find a ticket.

Considering the four-year-old Guo Tanya, Guo Qiang decided to drive there.

Shortly after their car drove out of Tanigawa's winding mountain road, a large truck that had skidded and overturned in the opposite lane rushed straight towards them.

In the almost deflated body, Han Lingli struggled to push Guo Tanya out of the car.

Four-year-old Guo Tanya stood on the side of the mountain road like this, letting the snow fall on her young body.

She didn't know what was going on, she just desperately called out to her dad and mom, but no one responded to her.

The driver of the big truck was covered in blood and desperately called the police.

Although it is the exit of the mountain road, it is not far from the city of Tanigawa, which has three mountains and one river.

I don't know how long it took for the police to arrive slowly.

Guo Qiang and Han Lingli have long since lost their breath.

The police officers casually inspected the scene, walking the process in a patterned manner.

A pair of big hands hugged Guo Tanya. Guo Tanya's eyes were full of horror and incomprehension.

A day later, she was delivered to the door of the Tanigawa City Welfare Center.

An aunt with a kind face was already waiting there, the director of the Tanigawa City Welfare Institute. At this moment, there was still a little boy who looked about the same age as Guo Tanya, with a snotty face and a blind face.

The superintendent and the police officer who sent her here went through the handover formalities simply.

Guo Tanya's big eyes were full of horror and curiosity.

The little boy ran over and wiped Guo Tanya with snot, and Guo Tanya screamed and squatted on the ground. The director walked over and reprimanded the boy severely, then took the two of them by the hand and led them into the orphanage.

From that day on, her Guo Tanya's side was no longer familiar with her parents and familiar dolls.

At that time, the Tanigawa City Welfare Institute was still three large bungalows enclosed in a courtyard. On the west side of the yard are several dilapidated swings and a slide. Aside from a barren meadow, there really isn't any decent architecture around it, so even during the day, it looks desolate.

There were also a dozen children in the house.

When they saw the dean leading the two children in, they all stopped playing with each other and stood aside and watched from afar.

A few older boys saw Guo Tanya's big watery eyes, so they leaned over and touched her arm. And the other naughty boys have already been in the same place with the boy who is blind with snot.

Guo Tanya was extremely frightened, and under the dazzling eyes outside the window, a boy half a head taller than him walked over. As soon as the older boys saw him, they ran away again.

The boy came over and hugged her and the boy who was blind.

"My name is Su Ruo, if you call me brother..."

Guo Tanya looked at the bright eyes of the little adult in front of her, and let herself forget that she was afraid.

Although she couldn't remember what Su Ruo said later, she remembered the one who hugged Nuan Nuan.

................

Guo Tanya can never get that kind of hug again.

But the little boy who once wiped her snot was now sitting opposite her, looking at her affectionately.

"Brother Meng, cut the cake quickly! Starve me to death! ”

Guo Tanya patted her belly cutely. Sun Meng dotingly cut a large piece of cake and handed it to her.

Guo Tanya took the cake and took a big bite happily, rubbing her face with cream.

Sun Meng handed her a tissue and laughed.

"Brother Meng, you can eat it too!"

"Eat!" Sun Meng picked up the mango coconut sago dew and took a big sip. The juice soaked his heart and spleen with coolness.

After eating a few more bites of steak, Sun Meng secretly felt that something was wrong.

At such a warm moment, he actually had a stomach upset when it was cold and hot.

"Tanya, I'll go to the bathroom~" Sun Meng stood up and took out a pack of tissues from the pocket of his clothes and put it in the pocket of his pants.

"Cut, lazy donkey grinding, you hurry up. I'm going to eat it all when I'm late! ”

"Leave me some of you!"

After Sun Meng finished speaking, he went straight to the bathroom.

"Puff puff..."

Sun Meng felt refreshed and comfortable at the moment.

He took a tissue out of his pocket and prepared to finish the excretion. Someone next door suddenly knocked on the partition of the toilet room.

The toilets in Water Paradise are in the deepest part of the second floor. Outside the five toilet closets, there is also a room dedicated to urinating. That's why the toilet has a simple handwashing device.

"Dude, forgot to bring paper, do you have paper?"

"Ah, yes, I'll hand it to you later."

Sun Meng slipped the remaining half pack of tissues through the gap under the partition. Get up and get ready to wash your hands.

After a while, the tissues were stuffed back in.

"Thank you."

Outside, there was the sound of the next squatting position opening and closing.

"Sick, this man! I'll stuff the rest of the paper back for what? ”

Sun Meng picked up the tissue, and was shocked, so he hurriedly chased him out.

A figure wearing a hat disappeared into the vast sea of people on Kwun Tong Street.

Sun Meng spread out the crumpled tissue in his hand, and a line of small words was written on it: I'm so close to you, why don't you come to arrest me.
