Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Dinner for Four

The old place with a hurried smile on the phone made Li Wen, who had just arrived home, really a little inexplicable. Thinking that he didn't know the situation and was indeed a little worried, Li Wen had no choice but to go out of the house again and take a taxi towards the restaurant.

However, at this time, the scene made him cry and laugh when he stepped into the restaurant out of breath.

Yan Xiao and Yang Jie are engaged in a childish gamble between children at the moment, that is, no one will pay attention to anyone.

It wasn't until Li Wen approached the two of them with a helpless face that the deadlock was broken in this cold war, which could also be regarded as because of him.

"You called me in a hurry, just so that I could watch the two of you play house?" Putting the coat off on the back of the empty chair next to Yang Jie, Li Wen sat down next to Yang Jie.

However, before he could sit down, Yang Jie next to him "snorted" and twisted his head to the side.

Yan Xiao's curiosity on the other side rose, and he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Li Wen, who was laughing, "Squad leader, how did you offend her?" It seems to be quite serious, and she won't let me call you to dinner. ”

Li Wen was about to speak, but Yang Jie, who turned his head to look at him, glared at him fiercely, and the threat in his eyes was very obvious: If you dare to say it, you will die!

Seeing this, Li Wen had no choice but to shake his head with a smile, and said implicitly to Yan Yan, who was looking at him, "It's nothing, I just owe her." ”

couldn't help but give the tight-lipped man and woman opposite a big roll of the eyes, Yan Xiao felt bored for a while, so he got up and went to the bathroom.

When he came out again, before he approached his seat, Yanxiao saw a man sitting next to his seat from a distance, talking to the two people opposite, with a tall and handsome back.

It is the long overdue simple businessman.

In an instant, subconsciously, Yan Xiao had begun to look towards the exit of the restaurant, silently calculating in his heart how much time it would take if he ran out. However, before she could figure it out, Yang Jie in the seat had already looked at her with sharp eyes, and pointed at Jian Shang with a smile and beckoned to her.

Resigned to his fate, Yan Xiao had no choice but to hang his head and drag his heavy steps towards the back.

"Big ...... Uncle, are you here? Walked to his seat, pulled out a chair and sat down in a panic, stammered and greeted Jian Shang, and then his eyes wandered away from the man's gaze at him.

"Well, I thought you were gone." The low male voice was mixed with the noise and the rising smell of food, which sounded in her ears deeply, and inexplicably, Yan Xiao suddenly remembered the scene when Jian Shang kissed her in the crowd that day.

Oops, the heartbeat is racing again.

Yang Jie, who was on the other side, had already seen the unnatural expressions of the two people in her eyes, and at this time, she stopped talking after seeing the two people say hello, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked, "You two, is there something we don't know?" ”

Yan Xiao quickly raised his head, waved a pair of hands and hurriedly denied, "There is nothing." "That look, anyone who sees it feels like a weak heart.

Jian Shang couldn't help but laugh silently for a while. I haven't seen him for two days, and when I face him again, the little girl is still so nervous, it seems that she still cares about him in her heart. Stretching his hand comfortably on the back of the chair behind Yan Xiao, Jian Shang added slowly, "Well, she said no, then no." ”

However, just as Yang Jie was about to ask something again, a soft light on Jian Shang's outstretched wrist attracted her attention.

"A big man actually wears such a delicate bracelet, or a lover's stone, it was given by his girlfriend, right?"

"No!!"

"It's not ...... yet"

Turning his head to look deeply at the girl who was busy denying it, there was a certain emotion growing silently in Jian Shang's eyes.

It will be. A voice sounded in Jian Shang's heart.

"Okay, okay, now that everyone is full, let's order a few more dishes." Li Wen on the side laughed at this time, he was afraid that if these two people continued to talk, Yan Xiao was afraid that he would run away from the door.

After eating this meal, Li Wen has been serving vegetables to Yang Jie, Yang Jie smiled and accepted them one by one, but still refused to talk to him more. Jian Shang didn't eat much, but he often put down his chopsticks and turned his head to look at the awkward smile, smiled, and didn't say much.

Compared with the excitement of the other tables, the four of them, each with their own concerns, seemed a little strangely quiet.

"Brother Jane, go out for a cigarette?"

Jian Shang looked at Li Wen, who broke the silence and gestured to him with a cigarette case, glanced at Yan Xiao, nodded, and then got up and walked out behind Li Wen.

The two men stood still on the side of the road in the night breeze, each taking a cigarette from a cigarette case, and smoking it one after the other.

"How's it going, Brother Jane?" After a brief silence, Levin spoke.

"Well, it's okay." Jian Shang replied nonchalantly, patiently waiting for the real topic of Li Wen's conversation.

"What are your plans after the year?"

"Keep up the good work. Or else? Smiling, Jian Shang put the cigarette in his hand into his mouth again.

"Also, continue to take revenge?" Following Jian Shang's words, Li Wen once again spoke the content, and finally got to the point.

"You ......" Hearing the word revenge spit out of Li Wen's mouth, Jian Shang's heart couldn't help but be secretly shocked. When he looked at Yan Xiao in the crowd through the glass window of the restaurant, Jian Shang showed a clear look again, "Yan Xiao told you?" ”

"She just asked me to check some information about the case file back then, even if she didn't say it, it wouldn't be difficult for me to know this." Li Wen said in a deep voice.

“......”

"Therefore, for both public and private reasons, I want to advise you to stop in time and not to do anything that crosses the border, which is right for you, right for you...... It's good to laugh and speak. ”

After patiently listening to Li Wen's words, Jian Shang smiled incredulously, "What do you think I'm doing?" Burn and loot? I want the truth of the day to be true, but I also have my bottom line and principles. ”

Facing Jian Shang's smile that he had seen everything through, Li Wen, who knew that he was speechless, stopped talking a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "Okay, that's good." If...... If there's anything you need help with, just let me know. ”

……

In the lobby of the restaurant.

Again I couldn't help but glance at the two men smoking cigarettes outside the window, and Yan Xiao couldn't sit still with some trepidation, "You said the squad leader and the uncle...... Don't you think it's strange that two people who don't know each other can talk for so long? ”

Yang Jie looked indifferent, "What's so strange about that?" Between men, sometimes a cigarette can become a good brother. Maybe we can talk to you again and come up with something we don't know......"

Hearing that Yang Jie was not in shape at the end, Yan Xiao shouted in a low voice with an angry face, "Yang Jie!! ”

"What? Isn't that right? The two of you are weird, maybe you have already hugged and kissed me behind my back! ”

"You ......" Yang Jie's words successfully made Yanxiao shut up in an instant, and the flag died down.

……

Out of the restaurant, Li Wen turned the extremely reluctant Yang Jie and walked in the other direction.

On the empty street with two rows of street lights, except for the occasional passing traffic, only Yanxiao and Jian Shang were left walking slowly.

"I forgot to ask you last time, how is the pollution investigation?" Jian Shang asked the girl on the side. I thought to myself, she would be less embarrassed to ask like this, right?

Yanxiao shook her head a little frustratedly, "There is no progress. I'm visiting the villagers, trying to get them to sign a petition, and there are some things, such as the factory's internal sewage data, which may not be available for a while, and I'm still trying to figure out how to do it. ”

"Do you have to do it?" Involuntarily stopped, Jian Shang turned around in the face of Yan Xiao, and looked at Yan Xiao with a distressed expression on his face seriously.

"Well, like the original you, you must do it." Facing Jian Shang's worried eyes, Yan Xiao also nodded seriously, and replied in a resolute tone.

“...... I'll figure out how to figure out the sewage data, and you can specialize in those villagers. With a sigh, Jian Shang took another step.

"Uncle, ...... you" Hearing this, Yan Xiao was a little stunned for an instant.

"That's what I wanted to achieve once upon a time, and now I pick it up again, and it can be regarded as an explanation for my former self and dreams." Jian Shang raised his head and looked at the dark blue night sky, the moonlight tonight was hazy, and even the starlight was sparse.

The road ahead is difficult and the lights are dim, so let yourself light a lamp for her.

"When is the holiday?" Retracting his gaze from looking up at the night sky, Jian Shang changed the topic and asked Yanxiao to his side again.

"The day after tomorrow, I have already bought a ticket to go home the day after tomorrow." Thinking that I could go back to see my mother, my smile and tone became lighter.

The wind blew, and a scent of oranges mixed with a faint tobacco smell swept through the nose, and a sense of peace of mind suddenly surged in the heart of the smile.

"Well, then I wish you a happy new year in advance, Yanxiao."

"You too, uncle, Happy New Year."
