After dinner, I really didn't want to stay upstairs alone and think nonsense, so Yanxiao declined He Mengmeng's company and went downstairs alone.

The moon was bright tonight, and she wanted to come out for a walk.

She wandered around aimlessly, and before she knew it, she came to a night market next to her rented neighborhood. The market used to be closed, but now because the weather has been getting warmer recently, it is finally bustling with people again.

"Little girl, this freshly grown strawberry is very fresh, would you like to have some?"

Suddenly, Yan Xiao heard a warm greeting in front of her, a fruit vendor was about to sell her strawberries from his stall.

"No, thank you." Yan smiled and shook his head, and hurriedly walked forward.

However, after not walking a few steps, the ringtone of the mobile phone came out of his pocket, and Yan Xiao absentmindedly browsed around the things in the night market, and took out the phone to connect, "Hey? ”

On the other end of the phone, Jian Shang's quiet voice rang, "Are you at home?" I'm downstairs from you. ”

Yan Xiao hurriedly stopped, her expression that was still sullen just now suddenly had a little more shyness and surprise at this moment, she bit her full lip and stood in place and thought for a few seconds before she replied in a low voice, "I, I'm not at home, come out for a walk......"

"And where are you? I'm going to look for you. Without waiting for the girl to finish speaking, Jian Shang quickly answered. Anyway, he had to see her tonight.

As if he didn't expect Jian Shang's tone to be so impatient, Yanxiao looked around again before informing him of his location, "I'm in the night market on the street east of the community, but uncle, you may not know the way, you better wait for me downstairs, I'll go back to you." After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned around, and walked back in a hurry.

I don't know what's wrong with my uncle being so anxious tonight? Could it be that something is going on again? A trace of uneasiness unconsciously swelled up in Yan Xiao's heart.

However, when she was about to approach the intersection of the turn when she left the night market, she suddenly felt a beam of eyes not far ahead. Yan Xiao looked up along the line of sight, only to find that it was Jian Shang who had left the community and stood under the street lamp at the corner of the street at some point, and the light sprinkled above his head was dim and warm, reflecting the smile on the man's face a little more gentle.

"Uncle!" Not far away, Yan Xiao didn't want to break this beautiful picture, so he stopped and shouted to the man.

And Jian Shang, who had already included the girl's figure in his eyes, nodded with a smile, and didn't say anything, just stretched out his hands to the words and smiles that came over in the next second.

Seeing this, Yan Xiao took another step again, ran towards the man under the lamp, and then stopped two steps away, looking at Jian Shang's eyes reserved and joyful, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”

The expected scene of the girl throwing herself into her arms did not come true, and Jian Shang did not feel sorry. He continued to stretch out his hands and take two steps forward, before finally embracing the small figure into his arms.

Yan Xiao struggled lightly, but found that this person had wrapped himself very tightly, and in desperation, he suddenly remembered the confession of the man by the river in the morning light, so he secretly laughed silently, gave up the struggle, and the next side raised his hand to wrap his arms around the other party's waist and buried himself in the arms that he had longed for a long time.

Feeling the girl's movements in his arms, Jian Shang turned the smile that was only hanging on the corner of his mouth just now into a pleasant laughter, and when the chest caused by the laughter vibrate, he hugged the soft and fragrant figure tighter again.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

After hugging him wordlessly for a long time, Jian Shang tilted his head to Yan Xiao's ear, and his soft voice broke the rare silence. If Chang Ping hadn't called him to tell him, I'm afraid this little girl wouldn't have told her that she had been suspended.

"You're already upset enough about the appeal." Although the man's question did not explain anything, Yanxiao knew what he was asking.

It turned out that the uncle came in such a hurry tonight because he knew that he had been suspended. Thinking of this, Yan Xiao rubbed his face against the man's cold coat again, and secretly destroyed the moist corpse that gushed out of his eyes for a moment.

"Stubborn little girl!" Jian Shang patted the head of the girl in his arms with a little reproach. The next moment, he fished her out of his arms. There was still moisture in the corners of the girl's eyes that had not completely dried up, and the wetness flashed with the girl's dodging movements, and in the glow, Jian Shang's heart was a little sour. After he raised his hand to wipe away the tears, he couldn't help but spit out the guilt in his heart, "I'm sorry, Yanxiao, I dragged you in, but I couldn't protect you well......"

I really didn't expect the uncle to blame the cause of this on his own head. The apology on Jian Shang's face was so obvious, he looked at it with a smile, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with you, everything is my own choice." ”

However, Yan Xiao's relief did not make Jian Shang's heart feel any better, he once again hugged the girl deeply into his arms, and his lowered eyes brought out a trace of anxiety, today Li Wen told him that it would take three months to review the appeal, but he didn't want to wait.

......

In the park opposite the municipal building.

It's the same bench from last time. Under Yao Wenhai's neatly combed short hair, there are a pair of eyes that are shiny and a little apprehensive. At this time, it was almost noon, and the square was no longer the scene of the old man exercising and playing with children last time, and in the quiet atmosphere, his heart was pounding, what was the matter with that person coming to him again this time?

There were footsteps behind him, from far and near, and finally stopped not far behind him. Yao Wenhai looked back, Jian Shang was standing a few steps behind the bench and looked over, and when he saw him turn around, he bowed politely to this side.

After finally sitting down, Yao Wenhai tentatively opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Jian is looking for me for?" I've already told the people below me to do what you mentioned last time. ”

Jian Shang groaned hesitantly, and only after a while did he make up his mind and say, "I remember that I once mentioned to you, Mr. Yao, that we have a common enemy, which is Song Wei. ”

Yao Wenhai nodded when he heard this, "That's right." ”

"Six years ago, Song Wei instructed his subordinates to drive me to death, but they didn't want my parents to die for me. At that time, there was no evidence to charge Song Wei with planning to kill, so he was only convicted of the driver for causing a traffic accident. But now that I have new evidence in my hands, I need to appeal, and Song Wei will be brought in again. I wonder if Mr. Yao can help me? Of course, by helping me, you're actually helping yourself. ”

Jian Shang is not sure how much Yao Wenhai participated in the incident that year, and he is not sure if he and Pan confessed, this person will remember that he is the little reporter who tried to report his corruption back then. But he had no other choice, three months was too long, and now, he could only gamble on this person who also hated Song Wei.
