Three days later, on September 15, Ying Mingyu's birthday. As early as before, Lu Qianqian received private WeChat messages from everyone in the group, telling her about it, including Da Zhuang, and she couldn't ignore it if she wanted to.

On the same day, everyone got off work early, and everyone would deliberately say hello to Ying Mingyu when they left, and the unified voice was: "Boss, it's time to get off work, I'll leave first, won't you go?" ”

Forget it if one person says so, after three in a row, Ying Mingyu packed his things and waited for the next one.

After everyone left, Fan Hua brought Wang Tao to him and asked him where he planned to go for his birthday in the evening.

He didn't say that Ying Mingyu had forgotten about it: "I'll call Lu Qianqian and go home for dinner." ”

They bought some wine on the way, and as soon as they entered the door, they were sprayed with streamers, and as soon as they finished spraying, they were picking up streamers.

Ying Mingyu had already prepared, Fan Hua probably counted, and only Wang Tao was scared half to death.

"It's boring to be recognized by the boss." Bao Zhan was disappointed.

Beauty finds it too difficult to hide from the boss, and she doesn't plan to do it in her lifetime.

Yuzu came out with a small cake: "Uncle, happy birthday!" ”

The birthday gifts were stacked together in the hall, and Ying Mingyu looked at the two behind him: "You didn't bring it, it's too late to buy it now." ”

Fan Hua was surprised, this was probably the first time since they met that Ying Mingyu's birthday was so like a birthday.

"Isn't this cake too small?" Ying Mingyu took the cake and went into the kitchen, but Lu Qianqian was still busy. The dining table has been moved to the hall, and more than a dozen dishes have been served.

"It's your own, it's me. The big cake was on top of the Xiaoice box, and that one was bought for them. ”

Ying Mingyu was very satisfied and put his cake back in the big refrigerator.

"Did you give me a gift?"

"Yes, don't you see that smaller box?"

Ying Mingyu hooked her lips without a trace, went out to look in the gift pile, and sure enough, she found the box with her name written on it.

Fan Hua hugged the grapefruit and played in the cradle, and by the way, he observed his friend who was in a good mood, Wang Tao sat on the single sofa next to him and talked to him. The three men in the group opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, sat on the chairs on the balcony, drank aperitifs, and gossiped.

As for beauty, she went to the kitchen to help, but she is also a mother, and she is more than enough to help.

After the meal, Bao Zhan first took a cup and toasted: "In addition to wishing the boss a happy birthday, I also want to celebrate the boss coming to the provincial capital for a year. ”

Lu Qianqian, as the last person to serve the table this time, sat alone at the short table, and she drank some red wine with her.

"Is Lu Yatou's injury still not healed, or has she been in a bad mood recently? The taste of the dish is a little different from before, a little sour, isn't it? "Fan Hua picked up trouble halfway.

Ying Mingyu glanced at him, the person who dug the pit and dug the grave by himself, he saw it today.

"Will it? Did I put too much vinegar? Lu Qianqian believed it and immediately tasted all the dishes.

Others tacitly did not mend the knife and watched from the wall.

"He's out of taste, leave him alone." Ying Mingyu added wine to her, wanting her to simply get drunk.

After this end, everyone collected things together, and pushed Lu Qianqian to go to the balcony to rest, of course, the birthday star didn't have to do anything, he took Lu Qianqian's gift and went outside to dismantle it.

"Cups?" Ying Mingyu took a closer look and found that the pattern on the outside of the cup was very special. There are lions and tigers on the grassland, a lone wolf on a rocky slope, and a shepherd dog by the fence on the opposite side.

"Do you like it?" Lu Qianqian was a little drunk, holding his head and looking at him.

"Not bad, where did you buy it? The craftsmanship is very good, and you also carefully selected the drawings. The balcony didn't turn on the lights, just the lights in the room and the moonlight outside, Ying Mingyu saw the drunken blush on her face, which looked like rouge.

"Do you see it's handmade? What I bought, I made it myself. Lu Qianqian smiled happily, "Didn't you say that you like lions, tigers, wolves and dogs?" I helped you draw together, aren't you happy? ”

It seems that she is really drunk, Ying Mingyu doesn't believe that she would say such things when she is sane and sound: "You did it? Don't tell me, Wang Zixina's tea set is also made by you? ”

Lu Qianqian nodded and almost fell on the table: "That's my manual homework." ”

Ying Mingyu regretted a little that he praised too early just now, and now he wants to take it back, but it's too late, but fortunately she drank too much.

"What are you looking at, lazy?" Ding Yuan took the plate and pushed it down with his shoulder.

"I think I just saw the boss playing hooligan." Bao Zhan was finally willing to send what he was holding to the kitchen.

"yes, what did you do?" Beauty washed the dishes inside and hurried back to look.

"The boss seems to have touched Lu Ya's face."

"Mom, is the hooligan talking about Uncle Ying? Is touching your face a hooligan? Yuzu is short and pulls her mother's pants and asks.

"I almost forgot, Bao inquired, there are still children here, don't talk nonsense!" Mei forgot that the person she asked just now was herself, "Yuzu, you didn't hear anything just now, no one is a hooligan, understand?" ”

Yuzu didn't understand, she obviously heard it, they clearly said it, she was a good boy, she couldn't lie.

So when everyone said goodbye and was about to leave, Yuzu waved his hand and said, "Bye, rogue uncle." ”

The others tried their best to hold back their laughter, but Ying Mingyu glanced at the beauty that was holding her and gave her a look to understand herself. Meili thinks that this child is really tireless, and she is dead.

After the house returned to calm, Ying Mingyu picked up Lu Qianqian, she seemed to be drunk, and she was getting more and more drunk. He pulled her to sit on the lazy couch that no one else dared to touch, and coaxed her to speak.

"Lu Qianqian, my first love was a painter, are you so unhappy?"

Lu Qian's mouth hung high: "She can also cook." Ying Mingyu, are you because you can't forget your first love, so you always provoke people who can cook and paint? ”

"You said yourself?"

Lu Qianqian didn't answer his pretending to be stupid.

"Lu Qianqian, I haven't provoked you, it's you who provoked me more, right?"

"I ...... I can't say anything about you. Lu Qianqian was drunk and couldn't become sharp.

"Okay, this time you win." Ying Mingyu rubbed her short hair, and after she cut it short, he felt very comfortable to the touch.

"I guess, Fan Hua didn't dare to tell you what happened later." Seeing her raise her head and look at him, Ying Mingyu continued, "After I admitted that she was my girlfriend, this matter spread throughout the school in less than three days. On the evening of the third day, she was called to the top of the building by a dozen girls and questioned her about it, and she was pushed downstairs. ”

Lu Qianqian's eyes widened, and the wine seemed to be half awake.

"Died on the spot." Ying Mingyu looked at the tears rolling out of her eyes, as if the red wine she had just drunk was poured out of here, "To be honest, I feel very sorry for her, I may not be able to forgive myself in this life." ”

"It's not your fault." Lu Qianqian said vaguely.

Ying Mingyu touched the tears on her face: "If I really love her, I have the right to hate those women who push her down in ignorance, but I didn't like her, I didn't even remember what she looked like at that time." ”

Lu Qianqian's tears stopped, and he looked at him with a surprised face.

"Look, you think I'm disgusting now, don't you? More hateful than the women who pushed her down, right? ”

Lu Qianqian couldn't refute it. Although Ying Mingyu said that kind of thing in order to protect the girl from being harassed by his seniors, he could not have expected such a consequence, but it had happened. He said that kind of thing irresponsibly, and he didn't do what a boyfriend should do, he didn't say it falsely, and he didn't protect his girlfriend yet.

"Do you want to give me a slap?" The girl's mother did just that, not to those who pushed her daughter down, but to him, the culprit.

Lu Qianqian probably guessed what he didn't say, reached out and touched his face, and then leaned over and hugged him by the neck.

This one...... Is it considered to be a throw-away? Ying Mingyu really didn't push her away, after all, she was a drunk.

"Ying Mingyu, I know that you have already reflected on it, and you must have reflected on it for many years, but I have thought about it seriously, and it is indeed not your fault."

"Really?" Ying Mingyu hugged her and waited for a while, and the person in her arms actually fell asleep like that.

"If you hadn't promised your father to take care of you, you should have taught you a long lesson and seen the consequences of easily believing in men." Ying Mingyu reluctantly hugged someone back to the room, and when he went out, he looked at the sign on the door that said "Gentlemen do not enter", he seemed to have been a villain recently.

In the next half month, Lu Qianqian's life was regular and fulfilling: getting up early and running in the morning, going to the police station to learn self-defense, going home to paint, cooking dinner, and going to bed early.

One day at noon, there was a case, and they all went out, leaving her to stay in the bureau for the time being, and to guard the office with Meimei. When Ying Mingyu came back, he found that the person was gone, and immediately asked Meimei.

"Oh, it's fine. Just now, Captain He of the second team came to you and said that they had a case in the group and had no clue about it, and wanted you to help take a look, but you were not there. When Meili said this, she found that the boss's patience had been exhausted, so she hurriedly said the point, "He saw that Lu Yatou was there, so he pulled her over to help." ”

Ying Mingyu glanced at her, and the second team went over to find someone.

Beauty felt that she had escaped for the time being, but she deserved it. At that time, the second captain asked Lu Qianqian what he was responsible for, and Meili quickly said that she was the mascot in the group, and the boss could quickly solve the case as long as he took her, which was very smart. The second captain borrowed the person without saying a word, saying that he was helping them transfer the group.

The second captain is really superstitious, they are criminal policemen, which is not good. Beauty kept this sentence in her heart.

When Ying Mingyu found someone, the second captain was pulling Lu Qianqian to help him draw, and the girl also cooperated, and fell in love with each other without reservation. Although he had long known that Lu Qianqian was not special for him, he still blocked the fire in his belly.

At the end of this month, Ying Mingyu answered Shi Qingyi's call again, and answered it at dinner.

"Art exhibition?" When he asked this, the people next to him looked at him with bright eyes, "When?" Okay, I'll go when I have time. ”

Lu Qianqian has been busy in the second half of the month, and he hasn't been to see an art exhibition for a long time, so he hung up the phone and immediately asked: "Where is it, when, can I go?" Is there a charge? ”

"I can take you there, but we're going to talk about this business card first, did you see that?" Ying Mingyu took out Yao Yue's business card from his pocket and put it on the dining table.

This was deliberately brought back by him, Lu Qianqian washed his clothes after his injury, put his business card on top of the folded clothes he had put away, and didn't ask.

"What is there to talk about, did you go to Zixi when you traveled?"

Ying Mingyu thought about it, but swallowed back the words behind, maybe they were not cooked to the extent he thought.

That night at Wang's house, he asked Wang Zixi a question: why did she say that she was suspected of being the murderer of her father, and it would hurt Lu Qianqian?

Wang Zixi's answer to him was that he should ask the person concerned about this question.

Ying Mingyu had conjectures, such as Lu Qianqian had a good relationship with her father, but Wang Zixi's father was that kind of person, and Wang Zixi was even suspected of killing his father, which was difficult for Lu Qianqian to accept...... But Lu Qianqian should know Wang Zixi's situation very well, and he will understand her, which can't be explained.

"Yes, I guess she was put in my pocket when she took me to a nightclub." Ying Mingyu casually threw the business card into the trash can on the side.
