The wait was until ten o'clock in the evening.

Lu Congdu was sleepy, he yawned and lay on the table, his whole body was weak: "When will Brother Xiu come back?" ”

Shen Muyuan raised his hand and looked at his watch, and calculated the time in his heart, "It should be back in about two hours." ”

"Is that still in time for your birthday," he sighed slowly, feeling his bones crisp.

Chang gently put down the cards in his hand, "Why don't I call Mianmian, she hasn't come back yet." ”

Chang Qin glanced at her, "Let's fight." ”

Chang gently took out his mobile phone, found Jiang Mian's number and dialed it.

Lu Cong's eyes widened and he didn't blink, "How is it?" ”

Chang shook his head slightly: "Turn off the phone." ”

Lu Cong sat back again, "How can this be?" Didn't my sister-in-law call us here? ”

Chang Qin: "Yes, why are we here, and we haven't seen a single protagonist?" ”

Shen Muyuan poured a glass of water, "It looks like something happened, just wait." ”

"Then let's wait, it's been until now anyway, and it's not too late." Lu Cong snorted.

Half past eleven.

Ji Zhixiu returned home wrapped in cool air.

Hearing the footsteps, Lu Cong hurriedly looked around until he saw the familiar figure, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Xiu, you're finally back!" ”

Chang Qin: "We've been waiting for you for a day. ”

Ji Zhixiu looked up and saw them in surprise, "Why are you all in my house?" ”

Lu Congda grinned and said, "Don't you know, Brother Xiu, today is your birthday, and my sister-in-law asked us to celebrate your birthday." ”

Hearing him mention Jiang Mian, Ji Zhixiu's heart couldn't help but hurt.

Shen Muyuan carefully observed his expression and said, "Zhixiu, is something wrong?" ”

"Yes, you didn't see anyone this day, Aunt Song said that you went abroad in a hurry. What's going on? Chang Qin said with concern.

Ji Zhixiu put down his luggage, loosened his tie, exhaled, and didn't speak.

Chang Qin frowned, "Don't hold it in your heart if you have something, talk to us, what if we can help too?" ”

Lu Cong nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Brother Xiu, we are all our own people." ”

Chang nodded lightly and silently.

Ji Zhixiu sat down, his voice tired, "Jiang Mian is missing." ”

Shen Muyuan stood up suddenly, "Missing? ”

Ji Zhixiu's gaze fell on him, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts.

As soon as Shen Muyuan got up, he realized that he had lost his temper, and he was just about to speak.

Lu Cong hurriedly got up, "What? Sister-in-law missing? What's going on? Who he. Mom doesn't have long eyes and dares to touch our brother Xiu's person? ”

Ji Zhixiu rubbed his forehead, not having the slightest intention of playing, "I have asked all the people under my command to check, but I have found nothing." She went to Paris to shoot a magazine, and disappeared on the Champs-Élysées after work. ”

Chang Qin said in a deep voice: "I have a group of people under my command who are also in Paris, and I immediately asked them to investigate." ”

"Okay, good work."

"My own people, what do you say?" Chang Qin looked at him helplessly.

Chang thought about it lightly, "Do you have a clue?" It may be easier to find out who did it. ”

Ji Zhixiu looked at Shen Muyuan again, his voice was cold, "Is Shen Tingyu at home?" ”

Shen Muyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted, "Zhixiu, do you doubt listening to the rain? Don't worry, it can't be her. ”

"I ask you, is she not home?" He didn't say whether he believed or didn't believe it, he just repeated the question.

Lu Cong saw that the situation was not good, and said: "Say it well, say it well, if you are not in Muyuan, you ask?" ”

Shen Muyuan closed his eyes, "She was at home when I went out. ”

When the words fell, he hurriedly added, "Zhixiu, I know you are in a hurry now, but I promise, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with her." Two days ago, I heard the rain tell me that she had already thought about it. Besides, what can she do now that she has limited mobility? ”

Ji Zhixiu bowed slightly, without any expression, "I know, I'm not in the mood to entertain you today, I'll invite you to dinner another day, you can go back first." ”

Lu Cong knew that he was anxious, he scratched his head, "Then let's go back Brother Xiu, do you have anything to help me tell me, I've been at home for the past few days." ”

Chang Qin snorted, "Then we'll go, and the child is still at home." Don't be in a hurry to get angry, just call us where you need it. Also, happy birthday. ”

Lu Cong: "Yes, yes, happy birthday!" Maybe my sister-in-law will be back tomorrow! ”

Ji Zhixiu comprehended it one by one, and was moved in his heart, "Okay, pay attention to safety, go back." ”

Shen Muyuan stood still, his brows furrowed, "Zhixiu." ”

"You say."

Shen Muyuan wanted to say a few more words that had nothing to do with listening to the rain, but when he opened his mouth, he turned to say, "It's okay, you pay attention to your body, how long have you not rested?" The redness in his eyes is serious, don't break your body, Jiang Mian is still waiting for you. ”

Ji Zhixiu replied with a faint eyebrow, "I know." ”

"If you have something to call me, I'll go back too."

"Okay."

"Happy birthday." He said seriously.

Ji Zhixiu glanced at him, "Thank you." ”

Shen Muyuan sighed in his heart, looked at him deeply, and turned to leave.

The huge living room suddenly became empty.

Ji Zhixiu opened the refrigerator and brought out this humble birthday cake.

Even if I put it in the refrigerator, after a few days, there is still a lack of freshness.

Obviously the small cake was not large, but Ji Zhixiu used two hands.

He smoothly brought it to the table and unwrapped the transparent box.

With a knife and fork in one hand, he looked at the cake and raised his hand to cut it.

In the room full of lights, light and shadow illuminate half of his side face with sharp edges and corners.

The face without a smile is even more cold, and the neat jawline is extremely sharp.

The whole person exudes a sharp edge.

Ji Zhixiu cut the cake very seriously, and then slowly put it into his mouth.

The cream wasn't as greasy as he thought.

The cake wasn't as sweet as he thought.

Everything was fine, just without her.

Halfway through eating, Ji Zhixiu's eyebrows were stained with a trace of chagrin.

He got up, found a candle to insert into it, and lit it.

And then what has never been done before, folded hands and made a vow.

After a while, he blew out the candle and continued to eat the cake.

The whole living room was silent and cold.

His tall figure, under the light and shadow, looks extremely lonely.

Until the little dried fish jumped on the dining table, his round eyes rolled, and then he collapsed on the dining table, revealing his fluffy belly.

It makes this picture two more vivid.

Ji Zhixiu's movements paused, he stretched out his palm and stroked the belly of the dried fish, not knowing whether to tell it or to himself, "I'll find her, right?" ”

"Meow~"

The little dried fish rolled over and claws wrapped around his hand.

Ji Zhixiu has never eaten this kind of sweet and greasy food, and for the first time in his life, he ate everything without any waste.

He put down his fork and got up and walked upstairs.

The small dried fish jumped off the table lightly and followed.

Ji Zhixiu returned to the room and turned on the light, he raised his feet and walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down.

As soon as I lay down, I was hit by a hard object in my back.

He frowned, lifted the entire quilt, and found a fire paint on the bed.

This is what is used to seal the envelope, Ji Zhixiu knows.

He removed the pillow, only to find that there was one under it.

Ji Zhixiu got up and looked around, until he bent over, his eyes subconsciously swept under the bed, and then he found a large cardboard box underneath.

He couldn't wait to pull out the cardboard box and dig out the contents.

The cardboard box was full of bits and pieces, nothing useful.

Ji Zhixiu was a little disappointed, and continued to rummage without giving up.

Finally, he saw a letter at the bottom of the cardboard box.

Ji Zhixiu sat down with his back against the bedside table and tore open the letter without hesitation.

This is a letter that Jiang Mian had written five days ago.

Ji Zhixiu rolled his Adam's apple slightly, reading word by word.

- "Ashu, today is your birthday. I'm very happy to be able to celebrate your birthday with you today.

I just realized today that I care very little about you. All along, it was you who did everything for me and supported me all.

Even when we were together at the beginning, it was premeditated by someone Ji.

It is the greatest luck in my life to be able to meet you.

When I know where I come from, do you know what my first reaction was? I'm really worried about whether you're going to look at me differently.

I'm scared that in your eyes, my image has become imperfect.

Because I don't think you like being an illegitimate child, and of course no one will.

Only after being frightened did you know that you had always known.

I often feel that I owe you a lot, and when I am busy, I don't have time to go home for a long time, and you are waiting for me at home.

I often think about you when filming, Ah Xiu, if you say that meeting is fate.

Your existence is the greatest adventure of my life.

I hope that I can spend your birthday with you every year in the future.

Happy birthday, the cake I made is actually pretty good? ”

The payment is to love your wife.

Ji Zhixiu's heart was suffocated, he could almost imagine how excited Jiang Mian was to prepare this surprise for him.

Now, however, she is not by his side.

He closed his eyes, the tails of which were stained red.

Sleep, sleep, he kept silently in his heart.

Without her birthday, not happy.

The dried fish climbed up his thigh, as if sensing his bad mood, and rubbed his head against his chest.

That kind of powerless and painful emotions surged from all directions, enveloping Ji Zhixiu layer by layer.

God knows how scared he was of not being able to see Jiang Mian.

This deliberate kidnapping of Jiang Mian, there has been no news so far, and he can't guess what the other party will do to Jiang Mian next.

There is no other way but to look.

Ji Zhixiu stayed awake all night.

The next day, I went to the office as usual.

Fan Cheng had never seen Ji Zhixiu so decadent, and there was an aura of despair all over his body.

He opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

I heard Ji Zhixiu say coldly: "Is there any news?"

Fan Cheng lowered his head, a little ashamed, "I'm sorry president, there is no news yet, I think maybe the young lady has been taken away from Paris." ”

"Maybe I haven't thought about it, but I've arranged people everywhere, and no matter what kind of transportation they take, I'll get a message."

Ji Zhixiu said in a low voice.
