black under lights

After Li Xueying had a face-to-face meeting with Granny Mei, people from the Welfare Department invited her into the inner room for dinner.

Braised pork ribs with thick meat floss, under the dim light, is attractive and shiny, and the aroma of spices and gravy is overflowing, which makes the index finger move.In addition to several vegetables, hot white rice, and homemade red bean ice...

Needless to say, Xin Mo said, Li Xueying knew that this dinner in the orphanage must be regarded as a sumptuous dinner.Thinking that it was to meet them, Li Xueying felt a little embarrassed.

He didn't know that Xin Mo had greeted her well in advance, but it was as formal as meeting her in-laws.

In fact, the nature is not much different.

Xin Mo probably saw Granny Mei getting close, and after sitting at the table, he called "Amei, Amei", as if Grandma was still a young girl.He looked at Li Xueying from time to time, his eyes were extremely gentle, and then he turned his head to talk to Granny Mei about the trivial matters between him and Li Xueying.

Grandma Mei also likes Li Xueying, and has been complimenting him on his beauty since entering the door. Her smiling face is full of smiles, and her eyes are about to overflow in the next second.

Li Xueying quietly looked at Xin Mo's side face amidst the steam of the food.

He suddenly understood Xin Mo's persistence in finding his biological father very well.

He longed for a home too much, a home that belonged to him alone.He used to have a big family like Mr. Qi, Mrs. Mei, and the Welfare Department, so his obsession with family is even deeper, because he knows that this must be the best belonging.

But Xin Mo probably doesn't know that in this world, not all relatives are loyal to each other, life and death go hand in hand, and not all families are perfect and happy.

Li Xueying felt lucky, at least in the vast crowd, he had the same stable and happy belonging as Xin Mo, and did not miss each other.

What a blessing.

Xin Mo took Li Xueying to meet Grandma Mei, played games with the children in the backyard, and finally dragged Li Xueying to the roof, where she lay on the roof to watch the stars.

"I look at the stars most at this time. Whenever I was in a bad mood or too hot when I was a child, I climbed here to look up at the stars, and my heart gradually calmed down." Xin Mo said.

Like him, Li Xueying also fell on her back to the sky, looking at the stars above her head, and the outline of half of the mountains, as if surrounded by the earth, looking down at the sky, with an unprecedented sense of security.For a moment, the world is vast and the world is far away.

He can understand Xin Mo's feelings. Under such a shocking and vast sky, his troubles, and even himself, seem like an insignificant grain of sand in the sky.

"Later, Lord Qi took me away. I gained a lot of insight, opened my horizons, learned more truths, and learned more skills. But when I looked up when I was depressed, I couldn't see such a star there." Xin Mo said quietly, his chest Zhang Chi undulated, as if it was integrated with the sky and the earth, "Later, I came to look for Ah Mui more often, and it felt so different. The home given to me by Master Qi is different from the home given to me by Ah Mui."

"I understand." Li Xueying said, "This place is more like a safe haven, allowing people to forget all their troubles."

"But I still want to find my father." After a moment of silence, Xin Mo said, "I am not depressed or resentful, because what I have is enough luck. But I still want to find him, even if he is unfamiliar, but after all, there should be It's my real home."

"You will." Li Xueying gently held Xin Mo's hand.

Half an hour later, the two bid farewell to the Welfare Department and returned by car with Ye Fengzhong.

In the night wind, he slowed down and sang loudly——

Can meet on this planet by chance

Light up the ethereal life

how lucky i am

No one stays in my thoughts like you

never doubt

……

His singing is like a draft, agitating his clothes, flipping his hair, and kissing his ears.

Li Xueying pushed the door open, and it was less than ten o'clock when she arrived home, the doors and windows were completely dark.

He turned on the light, and when my elder sister and father hadn't returned home, they were muttering worried, but suddenly Li Li was sitting in the dark.

Like a frightened bird, she suddenly raised her head, put her hands and feet together, curled up on the sofa, her eyes were red, and she was at a loss.

Li Xueying was stunned for a second, and immediately closed the door and rushed over: "Sister, what happened? Did Dad come home?"

"No, not yet." Li Li shook her head.

Li Xueying thought for a moment, then turned off the living room light again, dragged Li Li to the room, and closed the door.Then he took out a soft quilt from the cupboard, wrapped it around Li Li, and handed her a glass of warm water.

"Sister, did Feng Qing come to look for you again?" Li Xueying's expression was obviously not very good.

Li Li didn't speak, she shrank under the quilt, but this action made Li Xueying sensitive, the corner of her eyes twitched, she stood up suddenly: "What did he do to you? Tell me."

He wasn't intimidated by Feng Qing, but he was intimidated by this seemingly weak young man at the moment.Li Li stared with red eyes, and hurriedly pulled Li Xueying's hand to ask him to sit down first.

Having met Feng Qing a few times, she was no longer frightened by Feng Qing, instead, she had a bit of confidence every time she saw someone. Perhaps it was because of Feng Qing's good-spoken habits, but after a long time, she forgot how much he really was. A very vicious person.

She has been greatly wronged today.

Feng Qing invited her to a dance again, but Li Li refused, Feng Qing talked to her for half an hour without reason, and impatiently dragged her into the car directly.In the ballroom, Li Li had to cooperate even if she didn't want to dance. There were so many people around Feng Qing, although the other party didn't say anything to threaten her, she also knew that if Feng Qing was embarrassed by so many horsemen, she would definitely not feel better.Unexpectedly, the dance lasted for two hours, and Feng Qing dragged her to share dinner with him on the pretext of late at night.

No matter how stupid Li Li is, at this moment, she can see that Feng Qing is not only interested in her, but has really taken a fancy to her.This made her flustered, frightened, and even thought that her chastity would be lost tonight.But he didn't expect Feng Qing to let her go home after eating and talking with her.This made Li Li puzzled, but at the same time rejoiced.

After hearing all this, Li Xueying frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

"It won't work like this, sister, when will you finish your summer class?" Li Xueying asked.

"There are still about half a month."

"I quit my part-time job for the past half month, and I will pick you up from school every day. After half a month, how about going to the new university with me? If the house is rented, you can hide there for a while, anyway, your university starts late. "

Li Li hesitated, and finally said: "I have to listen to what Dad means."

The two siblings talked for a while longer, thinking that this time they need to speak to Li Que, as this matter has reached such a point that it can no longer be concealed.

But what no one knew was that Li Que did not return home that night.

The two waited for Dad until the early morning, and finally couldn't stand it any longer.

Li Xueying called Li Que, but no one answered.He was worried about Li Que's comfort, and wanted to call the Police Department to confirm.But one is that Li Que did leave a note saying that he will return late tonight, and the other is that this time is really not good.

He wanted to wait another hour, but found Duke Zhou unknowingly.

At dawn the next day, Li Xueying woke up suddenly, pushed the door open and went to Li Que's room.

Li Que didn't know what time to return home, who was snoring slightly without any intuition on the bed.

Only then did Li Xueying feel relieved, she changed into her shirt and went out for a morning run.

He wanted to bring three breakfasts on the way back, and he didn't want to meet a familiar figure at the breakfast stand.

"Sister Ah Feng?" Li Xueying couldn't believe it at first, until the woman raised the soy milk with her red nails hooked up.

"Aying?" Sister Afeng ordered a cigarette, and she was wearing delicate makeup, and looked at Li Xueying from top to bottom, "It's the first time I see you dressed so casually, and look more white. Why, do you live near here?"

Li Xueying nodded in agreement, sat down with Sister Ah Feng at a nearby table, and asked her why she appeared here. It is now seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and Kowloon is still some distance away.

Sister Afeng pointed to the building in the distance: "I fired the world's squid, you don't know, the new director is really a rookie, I might as well find another job."

"It's that simple?"

"It's not something in the pool, but you gave it to sister. I never forget my good words." Sister Afeng lightly lit the cigarette ash, raised her hand to look at her watch, "I have to go now, pretty boy, next time Sister Afeng I invite you to eat."

Li Xueying also stated the name of the coffee shop where she worked, and told her to find her for coffee when she was free.

When Sister Afeng left, Li Xueying suddenly remembered that she had only promised her sister to resign from her job yesterday, and she had not discussed this matter with Li Que yet.

After half an hour, Li Xueying returned home, but Li Que was no longer there.Surprised, I found that my sister had just gotten up, so I hurried over to ask.

But Li Li had just woken up, so she obviously didn't know about it.

Li Que left a note on the dining table, and Li Xueying called again, but there was still no answer.

Li Que has been acting abnormally too much recently.He refused to tell their siblings that Li Xueying had even searched for Xing Shihuai, but to no avail. She was anxious and had to call Xin Mo again after hesitating.

"Here we come." Xin Mo said on the other end.

"No, I'm going to the tea restaurant now. I'm already on my way. Ask Liu Fangfang if there's a way to ask what Feng Qing is doing. I'm always afraid that my father is getting entangled with him." Li Xueying said.

Xin Mo answered over there.

After hanging up the phone, he lit a cigarette, and said to Liu Fangfang, who was eating rice noodles, "Work."

"Sister-in-law, what's your order?" Liu Fangfang asked without raising his head.

Xin Mo felt comfortable hearing Li Xueying call this sister-in-law, but his face was stern, and he kicked him on the chair: "Shut up. Help me cool down. Two things, go see what Feng Qing is doing, Make sure Li Que is not entangled with him. And Xing Shihuai—"

As soon as Xing Shihuai was mentioned, Liu Fangfang raised his head with interest, wiped his mouth with a napkin and quickly said, "Brother Mo, you are finally going to see Inspector Xing? Right, I said don't make yourself uncomfortable, since Ah Ying said it was you It’s okay to check it out.”

"You called Ah Ying?" Xin Mo kicked him again, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to see Xing Shihuai. I'm asking if you can do anything..."

Rubbing his fingers together.

Liu Fangfang murmured that she was not allowed to be called A-sao and could not be called A-ying, who knows what it is called.

Looking closely at those two fingers again, they almost became cross-eyed, and yelled: "Isn't it, Brother Mo? Are you thinking about Inspector Xing's money before you recognize your relatives?"

"Who said that!" Xin Mo kicked again, "I'm asking if you have a way to get some blood samples. I'll go and check the insurance. Don't make a joke."

"Brother Mo, do you want to do the appraisal first? Why is it so troublesome, wouldn't it be better to meet directly?"

"It makes you think of the way when you think of the way, why are you talking so much?" Xin Mo said.

"Yes, yes, I'll do it." Liu Fangfang finally avoided Xin Mo's last kick, jumped out from the table, grabbed the cloth bag in the kitchen and went out, "Wait for my good news!"
