"The D63 train from Yongchuan to Beijing has arrived at the station......"

At the Beijing Railway Station, Xia Qiu struggled to look at the figure she was familiar with in the crowd on the platform.

It was probably not until everyone in the carriage had almost gotten off that they saw Liu Lingmei's figure appear at the door, followed by a tall and handsome young flight attendant. The huge suitcase he was carrying in his hand knew at a glance that it belonged to Liu Lingmei, and the pink boarding suitcase that was now very fashionable was covered with all kinds of cute stickers.

"Miss Liu, do you want to put it here?" The flight attendant carefully took the suitcase to the car and put it away, his eyes were obviously full of reluctance, he hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Do you really need to send you out of the station?" ”

"No, no! My friend came to pick me up! Thank you so much! Liu Lingmei smiled sweetly and shirked it, and when she turned around, she saw Xia Qiu, who couldn't tell the situation, still standing in place stupidly, and hurriedly waved at her and shouted, "Xia Qiu! ”

"Oh......" Xia Qiu responded, greeted her, and saw Liu Lingmei giving herself a look, and finally understood what she meant, and said to the flight attendant, "I'll help her!" ”

As soon as Xia Qiu took the suitcase, Liu Lingmei grabbed her arm hard, half-turned around and squeezed her eyes at the flight attendant and said, "Goodbye, see you when you have a chance!" ”

"Goodbye, I...... I'll send you a WeChat message back! The flight attendant was only in his early twenties, and he popped up this sentence in some color.

After walking a little farther and making sure that the flight attendant couldn't hear their conversation anymore, Xia Qiu shook his head and said to Liu Lingmei, "Isn't it?!" You don't even let go of the flight attendant brother?!! ”

Liu Lingmei rolled her eyes and replied dissatisfiedly: "Cough, I'm out of the house!" It's all Dong Haofan, what kind of location did you book for me, it's so close to the bathroom, it smells weird! I had to play it temporarily and change the position of the relationship! ”

"What's the situation between you and Du He?"

"There was a quarrel! After graduating from college and returning to Yongchuan, he soaked in the underground database every day, and it was difficult to see him, so he usually ran back again after a meal together, let alone date! I thought it would be better after getting married, but recently their research has made a breakthrough, and he is busier than before! I haven't seen him for a week......" Liu Lingmei's grievances turned into a series of cannonballs, and she poured it to Xia Qiu.

"Alas, they're all for me!" Xia Qiu felt that he had a great responsibility, and it also caused discord between Liu Lingmei and Du He.

"What does it have to do with you, they are all scientific lunatics, even if they don't restart this experiment to the Demon Realm Maze, they will find other projects to study." Liu Lingmei suddenly put away the loss on her face, and replaced it with a sweet smile, "Don't talk about this, I'm here to celebrate your birthday this time!" Have you figured out how to spend this birthday? ”

"I told my dad that we would have dinner at home together?" Xia Qiu tried hard to carry Liu Lingmei's suitcase to the elevator, thinking to herself how much salute she had brought to be so heavy, could it be that she wanted to fight Du He here to the end.

"Huh?! People came all the way to celebrate your birthday, and they sent me away for a meal at home?!! Liu Lingmei was dissatisfied with Xia Qiu's arrangement.

"That'...... Going to sing? Or find a bar? You know I don't have a lot of friends, and I don't hang out much. Xia Qiu still decided to accommodate Liu Lingmei, so she proposed again.

"It's good to go to the bar, no one will go out with me after I get married, and the bar in Yongchuan is boring!" Liu Lingmei was excited like a rabbit and almost jumped up from the spot.

Xia Qiu is about to celebrate her 26th birthday, and after graduating from high school, she was successfully admitted to a university in Beijing, and then stayed in the city for employment. Ten years have passed in a flash, and her life has been uneventful, just like every ordinary woman of the same age.

Now she works in an advertising company, working as an advertising copywriter, living with her father and Xiao Hei, usually and on weekends almost at two o'clock, but two o'clock on weekends has changed from home and work to home and library.

As soon as she has a holiday, she will go back to Yongchuan, in addition to visiting her grandparents, and getting together with her childhood friends. Dong Muya and Ouyang Hongye's daughter Ouyang Zi is more than nine years old, both in character and appearance, she has completely inherited the characteristics of Ouyang Hongye, and has a certain amount of demonic power, she has become the key to studying the connection between the demon world and the human world.

Ouyang Zi's favorite person is his brother Min Entong. Ten years ago, shortly after the end of the war, Min Entong's uncle decided to get married, and at Min Entong's request, Dong Muya adopted him, so Ouyang Zi has been with Min Entong since birth. Since she was very young, she has had a strong desire for exclusivity for her brother, and anyone of the opposite sex who gets too close to her brother except for her mother Dong Muya will become her enemy. Liu Lingmei was once classified by her into the enemy's camp, and made a lot of jokes because of this.

On the other hand, she inherited Dong Muya's mind, and she was even smarter than her. When she was five or six years old, she was able to assist her brother Min Entong in many things, which strengthened her dream of becoming the next manager of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient Mansion.

The path to the demon world has never been opened again. Min Entong never gave up trying, he no longer sold intelligence, but borrowed the name of Dong Muya to register a company, engaged in software development, and then used the money he earned to continue his research with Du He and Dong Haofan.

They always feel that they are getting closer and closer to solving the puzzle, so they can't stop and can't give up, but they are always a little bit behind at the critical point.

Xia Qiu had just struggled to pound Liu Lingmei's suitcase into the trunk of her car, when a text message sounded on her mobile phone, and she took it out and saw that it was sent by Du He.

"Xia Qiu, did you receive Lingmei? I'll leave you to take care of her these days! Xia Qiu deliberately loudly brought out the short letter sent by Du He to Liu Lingmei.

Unexpectedly, it made Liu Lingmei even more angry, and she said the most: "He doesn't even say to call me when he has time to send text messages!" ”

"Are people afraid that you are angry! Alas, tell me about you, you obviously care about him so much, you still have to be angry with him! Xia Qiu poked Liu Lingmei's puffy little face and said, "Get in the car!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Lingmei sat in the co-pilot.

It was already evening when I came out of the parking lot of the train station, and the red sunset was pleasant to watch, even if it was the rush hour and there was a traffic jam everywhere, I was not so depressed.

American pop music was playing on the radio, and Liu Lingmei was dancing and humming along, looking like she had thrown her quarrel with Du He to a distant alien planet.

As soon as he got home, Xiao Hei ran over with a very enthusiastic scream, wagging his tail and putting his paws on Xia Qiu's legs, and then greeted Liu Lingmei in the same way.

"Has he completely forgotten that he is actually ......?"

Liu Lingmei looked at Xiao Hei and asked Xia Qiu curiously, but when she saw her glaring at herself, she remembered that these things were secrets that Father Xia couldn't know, so she quickly shut down.

After settling Liu Lingmei's salute, Xia Qiu took her and her father out to eat, and went to a Hong Kong-style restaurant not far from home. Xia Qiu has a special affection for this restaurant, in fact, Liu Lingmei understood why Xia Qiu liked it so much when she first came, because both the decoration and the atmosphere are very similar to the flower language café in Yongchuan.

After dinner, she began to call the relatively quiet bar she had been to to reserve a place, and then contacted a few friends and colleagues with whom she was close to and invited them to her birthday party. This kind of thing is what she is not good at, and it is good to occasionally go shopping and eat with acquaintances, but it is really difficult for her to become the organizer of the party.

She was still a little hesitant, she had already told her father that she would celebrate her birthday at home, and it would be a little embarrassing to suddenly change her plans. But Xia Xuesong seemed to be relieved after hearing this, in his opinion, it is extremely abnormal for his daughter in her twenties to be as monotonous as Xia Qiu's socialization, young people should get together with friends more, and they will always stay at home and become a housegirl. In the minds of this fashionable dad, 'otaku' is a derogatory term.

"You can rest assured that you can take Reimi out to party with friends, and Xiao Hei and I are enjoying the world of men and dogs at home! It costs a lot of money to go to a bar party, right? Daddy gives it to you! In order to show her strong support for Xia Qiu to go out to the party, Xia Xuesong even planned to sponsor all the expenses of her party with her family.

"No need, I'm working, I still have a little money!" Xia Qiu waved his hand vigorously.

As the protagonist of the birthday party, she originally wanted to wear a dress casually. That night, when she returned to the room, she took out the clothes she thought was suitable and showed them to Liu Lingmei, but she completely denied it.

"You've been in the big city for so many years, and your taste hasn't improved at all?!!" Liu Lingmei took out the skirts in Xia Qiu's wardrobe one by one, and then threw them all on the bed with a sneer.

"I usually wear more formal clothes to work, and I don't have much place to go after work, but I have a lot of casual clothes." Xia Qiu had long known that she would never be able to get into Liu Lingmei's eyes.

"Let me save you, I was going to give it to you tomorrow, but it looks like I'll have to take it out now!"

Liu Lingmei said and dragged her suitcase out to the corner and laid it flat on the ground, and after opening the box, the top was a bag for clothes, the bag was not transparent, so I couldn't see what the clothes were inside.

She mysteriously opened the bag, and inside was a pure white ruffled gown, with a unique design from the shoulders to the chest, different from the material of the skirt, and a cobweb-like pattern with silver and pearl-colored beads.

"You designed it?" Xia Qiu happily found the skirt that Liu Lingmei gave her, and compared it in front of the mirror.

"Well, you think my clothing store is open for nothing?! This stitch and thread are all sewn by my own hands, which is custom-made! Liu Lingmei leaned over and said, "Xiaoqiu, happy birthday!" ”

She put her face together with Xia Qiu's, and looked at her in the mirror with a sweet smile.
