Qi Youmian is not an unfounded speculation.

Dancing at Shu Ninghua's house after school on Friday night is a habit she has been doing for several years.

Shu Ninghua opened her own dance training studio, and she would spend her weekends in a rented office building in the city.

Qi Youmian appeared on this street for only a few hours on Friday night.

Qi Youmian's gaze shifted slightly and landed in the small alley on the side.

She sat back in her seat, slowly forking the pasta and putting it in her mouth, gathering her thoughts as she could.

After eating almost a portion of pasta, Qi Youmian raised his hand and called the waiter.

The thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the black and white pupils made the peach blossom eyes particularly clear and sincere.

"I want to ask, do you know when Wen Jiulan first joined the company?"

The waiter who was called by her was the second waiter who answered positively just now, and she was obviously stunned when she heard this, as if she had never met such a customer.

"I want to think about it...... I probably came here to work at the end of last year, and Wen Jiulan was already there at that time, and it seems that I have been doing it for a long time. ”

Qi Youmian's fingertips on the silver fork trembled slightly, she lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds, and announced a date in a slow but firm tone.

"Was it after July 10 of the year before?"

The waiter scratched his head, and could only say helplessly, "It should be about the same, I don't know much about this." ”

Qi Youmian took out a light red coin from the small bag he was carrying, and slowly pushed it in front of the waiter.

"This question is important to me...... Could you please help me with an inquiry? ”

The waiter's gaze swirled repeatedly on the coin and Qi Youmian's face, and his eyes changed when he saw her, and he responded very positively, "Okay, you wait a while." ”

Qi Youmian finally waited for a definite answer.

"It's a week longer than you said, and I started on July 17th. When Brother Wen first came, he didn't want a salary, but our boss saw that the business was taken well, so he gave the money......"

The waiter's voice seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

Qi Youmian had already walked to the alley she had been watching for a long time just now.

In early July of her second year of junior high school, she had an intermittent low-grade fever for a week. On Friday night, Qi Hengzhi was invigilating at school, Tao Wan was working overtime in the company, and she was the only one who wanted to take a shortcut home and pass by this alley.

The body with a low-grade fever for a week and persisting in dance training for two hours was overwhelmed, Qi Youmian's eyes were dark, and he felt that the world was spinning in an instant, and he almost fell to the ground, so he could only hold on to the wall and slowly squat on the ground.

She was so embarrassed that she was leaning against the wall, and she couldn't even breathe.

Therefore, when a gentle footstep approached, Qi Youmian opened his mouth with Venus in front of him.

"Please help, help me......"

She thought she had exhausted her strength, but the sound she made was like a milk cat chirping.

Later, recalling this moment countless times, Qi Youmian felt lucky, fortunately, it was an extremely enthusiastic and proper kind-hearted person, who stuffed a piece of sweet chocolate into her mouth, and helped her sit down by the brightly lit road flower bed.

It's just that the well-wisher was too silent, and Qi Youmian, who was dizzy and dizzy and broke out in a cold sweat at that time, could only curl up in a ball, and at the same time grabbed the cardigan jacket that the well-wisher had draped on his body, and listened to the kind-hearted person contact his father to pick him up.

It's a pity that because of the well-wisher, he left a second before his father arrived, so that Qi Youmian didn't have time to see his appearance clearly and ask his name.

Thinking about it now, Qi Youmian can only vaguely remember that when he was particularly uncomfortable, the coat with a faint fragrance of laundry detergent on his body and the other party's low voice.

It was also from this incident that no matter how busy Qi Hengzhi was, he would find time to pick her up.

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly overhead, illuminating everything in the dark.

Qi Youmian walked out of the alley step by step, and finally stopped at the edge of the small flower bed where he sat two years ago.

The flower beds are overgrown with weeds, and the small flowers that have been dried for a morning are beaten one by one, just like the original self.

Qi Youmian gently clenched his palm, and in a trance, he seemed to touch the extraordinarily warm and powerful palm of the kind man again.

"Is that you?" Qi Youmian muttered, looking stunned and at a loss.

She always thought that the three years of Lijiang No. 1 Middle School were the only time she had intersected with Wen Jiulan.

But the facts found now are clearly told to her.

At least in the second year of junior high school, Wen Jiulan noticed her.

…… If so, how many things would she not know about Wen Jiulan?

/

The military training for the freshmen of Lijiang No. 1 Middle School is to uniformly pull people to a nearby armed base.

Tao Wan put several sunscreens in Qi Youmian's schoolbag, frowned and stuffed a few packs of masks into the mezzanine.

Qi Youmian obediently sat on the side and watched, Tao Wan turned her head slightly, her tone was still calm and serious.

"Go to the base and behave well, if your body is not good, forget it."

As soon as the words came out, Tao Wan's brows furrowed even tighter.

If Qi Youmian, who is only sixteen years old, should be worried about whether his mother doesn't like him very much, or if he is angry that his mother doesn't trust him.

Qi Youmian, who can be reborn, can already hear his mother's voiceover familiarly.

"Behave well" is equivalent to "listen to the teacher and listen to the instructor".

"If the body is not good, forget it" can also be expressed as "Mommy's baby daughter will definitely not be able to bear it if she says she is uncomfortable, and she will go and pick you up immediately when she says to her mother!" ”。

Seeing that Tao Wan's face was becoming more and more straight, Qi Youmian suddenly bent her lips and leaned over to hug her mother gently.

"Okay, thank you mom for what she prepared for me~"

The little girl's body was soft, and her voice was sweet.

The child who grew up in pampering since he was a child is extraordinarily upright and strong, and he shakes his body slightly, like a milky kitten, screaming, rubbing around at people's feet.

Tao Wan hadn't been so close to her daughter for a long time, and her eyes were stunned for a while, and her hands were stiff and she didn't know where to put them.

Qi Youmian was still babbling in her ear, saying that she was reluctant to make a delicious breakfast made by her father, reluctant to have a soft big bed at home, and unwilling to see her mother for half a month......

The corners of Tao Wan's straight lips twitched slightly.

She finally slowly raised her hand, and covered the top of the little girl's head with her palm under the gaze of Qi Hengzhi, who was looking at her with a smile.

At first, she was still a little cautious and hesitant, like Qi Youmian would immediately withdraw her hand as long as she had the slightest intention of resisting.

But Qi Youmian felt the gentle force on the top of his head, but instead shook his head from side to side, really rubbing like a kitten.

Tao Wan's movements slowly became proficient, and she ran Qi Youmian's soft black hair one by one.

The smile on the corner of his lips also grew bigger and bigger.
