I love the gaze you look at me when I look away.

- Xie Xiaonuan

"I mean really." Father Xie replied heavily.

"No way, although I was just a small police officer at the time, I was also involved in that case." Zhao Mingjie sat motionless and muttered in a low voice.

Father Xie turned his face away in pain, hiding all the helplessness in his eyes, and then spoke slowly.

"Recently, there have been people watching us, once Xiao Nuan fell ill, and even those people were followed into the hospital, we usually never have an enmity with anyone, if it weren't for that car accident, who else would do this to us?"

Until hearing this, Zhao Mingjie still did not recover from the shock.

Mother Xie's two lines of tears fell again, and she said softly.

"It's really hard to be warm, since the car accident, she feels a stomachache from time to time, we took her to the hospital for a checkup, it turned out to be Gong Han......"

"Gong Han ......"

Zhao Mingjie's dark pupils shrank suddenly, his wife had a problem with Gong Han, and she finally got pregnant, but the daughter she gave birth to was frail and sickly......

"My Xiaonuan is only sixteen years old now, this disease can't be cured, she will ...... in the future But how can you live ......?" Mother Xie sobbed, her body trembling so much that she could barely control herself.

Father Xie reached out and patted Xie's mother on the back, comforted him warmly, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Mingjie, "We have been looking for witnesses before, and now we can only find you." ”

"Brother Xie, whatever you want me to do, I will definitely do my best." Zhao Mingjie stared at Father Xie with burning eyes, and his tone was extremely firm.

After a long time, Father Xie sighed slightly, "Can you describe it in more detail with us...... The car accident scene at that time? ”

"Okay." Zhao Mingjie thought about it and began to tell the story of the previous incident.

Xie Xiaonuan's house.

The three of them sat on the couch in unison, all thinking about their own thoughts, keeping their heads down and not speaking.

I don't know how long this silence lasted, Xie Xiaonuan only felt that her neck was sore for a while, and she couldn't help twisting her neck, feeling a little better.

I looked up at my watch, and it was already half past eleven.

Seeing that the person sitting opposite was still silent, her eyes flashed, and then she opened her mouth and said, "Aunt Jiang, Xia Yuyang, are you hungry?" ”

Xia Yuyang came back to his senses and replied, "I'm not hungry." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Xia Yuyang's stomach was already rumbling uncontrollably, he touched his stomach awkwardly, and smiled embarrassedly.

Aunt Jiang also retracted her thoughts, and after she quickly sorted out her emotions, she stood up and said to them, "I'll cook for you." ”

Xie Xiaonuan said obediently, "Auntie, I'll give you a hand." As he said that, he was about to stand up, but was rejected by Aunt Jiang.

"You just sit down, chat with Yu Yang, I'll make it right away, and I'll show you my specialties today."

Xie Xiaonuan nodded and looked at Xia Yuyang again.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuyang was also looking at her at the moment.

Xie Xiaonuan's face flushed, and his fingers nervously pinched the corners of his clothes and rubbed them back and forth, "You...... What are you staring at me for......"

Xia Yuyang smiled slightly, "You won't be shy, right?" ”

Xie Xiaonuan glared at him fiercely, wanting to open her mouth to scold him, but she found a flash of sadness in his eyes, and she unconsciously closed her mouth.

Xia Yuyang was stunned for a moment, "Why didn't you say it?" ”

"Say what?" Xie Xiaonuan took the snack bag on the table, tore open the package and stuffed it into his mouth.

"With your character, don't you scold me after I tease you......" Xia Yuyang joked.

"You...... I won't tell you! Xie Xiaonuan ignored him, turned his head and kept chewing potato chips.

The corners of Xia Yuyang's mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes involuntarily moved to his busy mother in the kitchen, and he couldn't figure out the thoughts in his head.

Xie Xiaonuan glanced at Xia Yuyang again, and she couldn't help but say, "Xia Yuyang, in fact, you don't have to think about it so much, Aunt Jiang really loves you, I can see ......"

Xia Yuyang's body stiffened and did not answer her words.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xie Xiaonuan continued to explain him, "The previous things have passed, people always have to look forward, you must treat Aunt Jiang and Uncle Xia well." ”

"I know." Xia Yuyang finally replied, thought about it, and added one more sentence, "You too, don't dwell on the past." ”

Xie Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at him again, but he didn't expect that although Xia Yuyang didn't know much about Aunt Jiang's affairs, he could comfort her in turn.

He really has his own in his heart.

Xie Xiaonuan lowered his head and smiled secretly, and when he raised his head again, his face had returned to his usual calm like water.

"Xia Yuyang, do you believe in fate?"

Xia Yuyang tilted his head to look at her, and replied after a while, "I don't believe in fate, I believe that all fate is in my own hands." ”

Xie Xiaonuan heard this, the light in her eyes became more and more bright, she stared at him deeply, and said in a low voice, "Xia Yuyang, you are really getting more and more like me......"

A deep smile appeared on Xia Yuyang's lips, "Of course, because I like you." ”

Xie Xiaonuan bit his lower lip tightly, as if he had mustered up his courage, and his clear eyes looked at him like two jewels, "Hmm! I like you too. ”

Xia Yuyang was stunned, he wanted to tease her, but he didn't expect her to say such straightforward things to himself, he was so excited that his hands and feet were trembling, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Xie Xiaonuan smiled skillfully, she saw that his eyes were full of tenderness and love.

In the café.

"What do you say? There was another person in the perpetrator's car at that time? Father Xie looked at Zhao Mingjie in shock, and the hand that was originally holding the spoon shrank in an instant.

Zhao Mingjie nodded and replied, "Yes, the deceased was a man, and there was a woman in the car, she was also seriously injured at that time, and she was going to be sent to the hospital, but in a blink of an eye, she disappeared." ”

"Gone, gone......" Dad Xie said this sentence in a row, I don't know how many times he repeated it.

"Hongwei, is it possible that we have been stalked recently and have a relationship with that woman?" Xie's mother was horrified, vaguely guessed something, and asked Father Xie tentatively.

"It's also possible." Father Xie nodded, and then asked Zhao Mingjie, "Mingjie, do you remember what the disappeared woman looked like?" ”

"I remember, that woman was beautiful."

When Zhao Mingjie said this, he felt that what he said was inappropriate, and hurriedly explained, "It's because she looks like a popular female star at the time, so I paid more attention to her." ”

"Well, can you trouble you these past few days and help me keep an eye on that woman?" Father Xie pleaded with him mournfully.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to the bureau in the next few days to make a mock portrait, and then bring it out to show you, and then notify a few people to look for it privately."

Zhao Mingjie paused, "Brother Xie, after so many years, she may have changed her appearance, or she may have passed away, but no matter what the result is, I will do my best." ”

Father Xie stretched out his hand and held Zhao Mingjie's hand tightly, "Mingjie, I really ask you, our family is very grateful to you." ”

"Don't say such outrageous things, I always treat you as my own brother." The corners of Zhao Mingjie's mouth rose with a faint smile.

"Good brother ......" Father Xie gradually laughed, and tears were still shining in his eyes.

The last part of my life has been quiet and stable, until one afternoon after school.

Xie Xiaonuan still went home with Xia Yuyang, and happened to meet Zhao Mingjie driving a police car on the way.

"Xiao Nuan, it's time for school, I'm just going to your house, get in the car, I'll take you home." Zhao Mingjie smiled at her.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!" Xie Xiaonuan pulled Xia Yuyang, then got into the car, and Xia Yuyang followed.

Xie Xiaonuan sat in the car and looked around, and the next second she suddenly became excited, "Uncle Zhao, it's the first time I've taken a police car, it's too majestic!" ”

Zhao Mingjie's eyes were gentle, "Majesty is majesty, but it's not good to sit too much." ”

Xie Xiaonuan understood what he meant, but said indifferently, "Of course the bad guys are afraid of the police, but I'm not afraid, because I've never done anything hurtful." ”

Xia Yuyang couldn't help but smile.

"Xiao Nuan is right, you can rest assured, I am responsible for protecting you good people." Zhao Mingjie laughed and thought this girl was really interesting.

Xie Xiaonuan smiled, lowered the car window, leaned on the window, looked at the receding street lamps on the side of the road, and felt the breeze blowing gently, she was suddenly in a good mood.

After saying goodbye to Xia Yuyang, Xie Xiaonuan took Zhao Mingjie home.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back! Uncle Zhao is here! Xie Xiaonuan shouted into the room.

"Mingjie is here, haven't eaten yet? I made a few good dishes today, let's stay for dinner in the evening. Mother Xie walked out of the kitchen with a smile.

"Don't bother sister-in-law, I have a meeting in the evening, and this time I came here to send you a portrait." Zhao Mingjie politely refused and expressed his intention.

"Is the portrait painted?" Father Xie pushed the brewed tea in front of Zhao Mingjie.

Zhao Mingjie hurriedly took out a few pieces of paper from his bag and put them on the table, Xu was thirsty, and drank several sips in succession before he slowly spoke, "I drew it from memory, and this is probably what it looks like." ”

Father Xie took the portrait and looked at it carefully for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief, "I haven't seen this woman." ”

Mother Xie replied, "I haven't seen it either." ”

Xie Xiaonuan tilted her head curiously and looked at the young woman in the painting, with a pretty and gentle appearance, a melon seed face, and a pair of eyes that were gentle like water.

It seems to be a little familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere, Xie Xiaonuan rubbed her eyes, looked at it twice, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her head, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

"I know her!"
