Mingxia's heart fluctuated when he heard it. Meng Zhao's passionate words made her both excited and yearning. Yes, it's rare to fight in life! Destiny is in your own hands, is it a real struggle with dreams and real guns? Or is he living a so-called white-collar life smoothly and comfortably? The restless factor in Ming Xia's bones began to be eager to try, and she almost couldn't help but want to make an agreement with Meng Zhao on this high-five.

However, she calmed down her rather excited mood a little before saying: "I was moved by what you said, tonight may be the first shareholder meeting of a well-known company in the future!" Ming Xia also made a joke in response to the occasion.

Meng Zhao nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Come, let's have a drink for tonight, not only for your birthday, but also for our entrepreneurial sprout!" With that, the two men drank the wine in their glasses.

Meng Zhao poured wine into the wine glass again, and he said to Ming Xia: "Let's make another agreement, every year on this day in the future, we will be together to celebrate your birthday." Here, another toast to this promise! ”

Ming Xia passively clinked glasses with Meng Zhao. As she slowly drank the wine in her glass, she thought that this agreement was just a casual agreement! Years later, when they don't see each other again, will he still remember this agreement? Maybe it will really be like Meng Zhao said, on this day every year, he will be with her to celebrate her birthday? Does that mean...... In the future, he and her will be together?

After eating, Meng Zhao and Ming Xia walked out of the hot pot restaurant, a cold wind came to their faces, Meng Zhao shook his shoulders, and said with a smile: "It's very refreshing!" Were you born on a winter day like this? ”

Mingxia used the key to unlock the bicycle and said, "When I was born, the weather was much colder than it is now. I asked my parents why they had named me 'Xia' because I was born in the cold, and my mom told me that she was dreaming of eating watermelon in the summer before she gave birth to me. So, she just called me Mingxia. You say my mom is funny! ”

Meng Zhao smiled and said, "Well, it's interesting." Your personality must be like your mother. ”

Mingxia sneered and said, "Maybe." However, she didn't look like a mother. Fight with me a lot. If you hear something funny, send me a text message and give me a call. Anyway, she's a very lively person. ”

Meng Zhao asked, "Your parents have a good relationship, right?" ”

Deng Shuang got on the bicycle and turned around and said, "They separated very early." ”

Meng Zhao got on the bike, pedaled a few times, caught up with Mingxia, and said, "Living in such a family, you ......"

Ming Xia said with a smile: "Most families should not be like this!" It's just that my family is more interesting because of my mother. ”

Meng Zhao smiled, but didn't say anything more.

The two men rode to the front of a building. As Christmas approaches, the façade of the building has been decorated with many colourful lights. At this time, the lanterns flicker one after another in the night, like a fairy tale.

Both of them looked sideways to enjoy the dazzling scene, and suddenly a low cry reached their ears. Ming Xia asked Meng Zhao curiously, "Did you hear the cry?" Why do I think it's a child's voice? ”

Meng Zhao glanced at her with a smile in his eyes: "Want to scout?" ”

Ming Xia smiled and glanced at him, then stopped. She turned her head around the bike and started walking back. Meng Zhao turned one hundred and eighty degrees in place, then rode slowly and followed her.

Mingxia was pushing the cart and listening intently, but he didn't hear anything. So, she said to Meng Zhao embarrassedly: "Maybe the parents are teaching their children, do you think I'm a little nosy!" ”

Meng Zhao looked at Ming Xia with interest and said, "It's good, the ancient road is hot, I like it!" ”

Ming Xia gave him a blank look, and he was about to turn around and leave here.

Suddenly, a small sobbing sound rang out again. This time, Ming Xia listened very clearly. She immediately followed the sound and looked over, and Meng Zhao had already seen that in a corner of the flickering building in front of her, there was a small figure that seemed to be curled up against the wall.

Meng Zhao pulled Ming Xia and pointed to the corner: "The voice came from over there, go over and take a look." ”

When they approached the figure, they saw that it was a boy of eight or nine years old.

As soon as the boy saw two people walking in front of him, he leaned against the wall nervously, and looked at Meng Zhao and Ming Xia with a pair of eyes full of vigilance. Ming Xia and Meng Zhao glanced at each other, and Meng Zhao tilted his head at her, and Ming Xia understood that Meng Zhao was letting himself talk to the little boy.

Mingxia knew that usually girls would make children feel safer, so she asked softly: "Children, it's so dark, why don't you go home?" What about Mom and Dad? ”

The little boy didn't say a word, his eyes kept on the outside of the building, his feet rubbing little by little.

Meng Zhao saw the child's intention to run away, so he looked around and saw a McDonald's restaurant around the corner across the street, so he lowered his voice and said, "Little friend, do you see the McDonald's on the other side?" This sister takes you to eat burgers, as well as chicken wings and fries. When you're full, you can go by yourself! ”

The little boy looked up at McDonald's across from him, then pursed his lips.

Ming Xia saw that he seemed to be moved, and hurriedly said, "It's too cold here, you and your sister should go to McDonald's to warm up for a while!" Burgers, chicken wings, fries, what do you like? ”

The little boy looked at Ming Xia and Meng Zhao in front of him with hesitation, but remained silent. However, his huddled body showed that he was probably freezing by now.

Ming Xia didn't say much more, she turned the front of the car around, and said, "It's too dark and too cold here, and it's not safe yet." McDonald's is crowded and warm, much stronger than here. ”

Then, she slowly pushed the bicycle and pretended to leave, while watching the little boy's reaction. The little boy couldn't help but slowly get up from the ground, his feet rubbed two steps towards Ming Xia, and then lowered his head again.

When Ming Xia saw it, he smiled secretly in his heart. She said, "I'll go ahead, and you'll follow behind!" ”

After speaking, she pushed the bicycle forward, Meng Zhao cast an approving look at Ming Xia, and then also quickened his pace and walked parallel to her. The two of them pretended to talk casually, but every now and then they would sneak a glance at the little boy and see that he was always following them, and the two of them relaxed.

They walked into the McDonald's restaurant, and it was warm. The two of them took the little boy to the ordering place, and Deng Shuang asked the little boy what he wanted to eat. The little boy looked at the pictures of the various packages, his eyes flickered, but he still didn't speak.

So, Meng Zhao simply ordered a Big Mac, a box of McSpicy chicken wings, a packet of French fries and a cup of hot milk, ordered a milkshake for Deng Shuang, and asked for a cup of coffee for himself.

After sitting down, the little boy's eyes kept on the food on the plate, but he just didn't reach for it. Ming Xia smiled and pushed the dinner plate down in front of the little boy and said, "Hungry, right?" These are all for you, eat them! Start with a few sips of hot milk! ”

The little boy raised his head, looked at Ming Xia with a pair of immature and innocent eyes, and then looked at Meng Zhao, he finally said quickly as if he had made up his mind: "Thank you, brother, sister!" Then, in two strokes, he peeled off the paper on the outside of the hamburger, put the burger to his mouth, took a big bite, moved his mouth a few times, and hurriedly put his head to the milk cup and drank a few sips. Then, he dealt with the food in front of him without saying a word.

Mingxia drank the milkshake and asked him, "Little brother, where do you live?" When you're done, we'll send you back. ”

The little boy's mouth, which was nibbling on the wings, suddenly stopped moving. He looked up at Ming Xia, his big black and white eyes suddenly turned a little red, but he immediately lowered his head again and muttered in a muffled voice: "I'm not going back." ”

Next summer, Meng Zhao glanced at each other and roughly understood the inside story. It must have been the little guy who had a quarrel with his parents, and in a fit of rage, he ran out of the house.

Ming Xia asked, "Did you quarrel with your parents?" ”

The little boy pouted, paused, did not answer, and continued to eat.

Ming Xia said: "Your parents can't find you, and they must be so anxious that they are going crazy now!" ”

The little boy immediately raised his head and said angrily and aggrievedly, "They won't look for me." My mom said don't want me anymore, let me go! ”

Ming Xia was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Did you make your mother angry?" ”

The little boy snorted angrily, stopped talking, and continued to eat with his head down, but his movements slowed down.

Meng Zhao saw that Ming Xia was still going to persuade this little boy, so he shook his head at her. Mingxia looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what he was going to do.

Meng Zhao asked the little boy very seriously: "Since you ran away from home and don't plan to go back, are you planning the rest of the matter?" ”

"Well, what's the matter?" The little boy had French fries in his mouth and looked at Meng Zhao suspiciously.

Meng Zhao said solemnly: "Of course, it's a matter of where you want to go, where you live, and what you eat!" You see, after you finish your burger and fries in a while, your brother and sister have to leave. It's so late now, it's still so cold, where are you going to sleep alone? On the road, in the tunnel, or in the garbage heap? ”

"Huh? How can you sleep in such a place? The little boy's eyes widened and he looked at Meng Zhao in disbelief.

When Meng Zhao saw it, he smiled. He said, "Oh, you can't sleep in these places!" So where are you going to sleep? ”

The little boy blinked at Meng Zhao with two eyes, and frowned in confusion.

Meng Zhao asked again: "Also, how much housework will you do?" ”

The little boy shook his head hesitantly, not understanding why Meng Zhao asked him how much housework he would do.

Meng Zhao continued: "If you are a child wandering outside, it is very likely that you will be targeted by bad guys, they will cheat you away or snatch you directly, and then sell you to the mountains. At that time, you will have to work all day, and if you can't do your job, you will be beaten, and if you try to escape, someone will tie you up, and you will not be given food or drink, and you will continue to be beaten. ”

The little boy's mouth was wide open when he heard this, and a look of horror appeared on his face, but he still asked suspiciously, "You lied to me, didn't you?" ”
