don't sacrifice

Su Nian knew that since he was soaked in honey by his family since he was a child, he was used to an unscrupulous temperament.But now when she was walking beside Bai Zhongli, for the first time, she felt that even her heartbeat became cautious, and she wanted to present him a cute model.

Bai Zhongli seemed to be aware of her deliberate obedience at the moment, and felt that this section of the road was quiet.Then he started to bring up the topic, casually thinking about something to chat with her——

"Did that case scare you last time?"

"That..." Su Nian still felt a little scared when she recalled it at this moment. She circled her hands and fingers behind her back and replied, "It really scared me enough. When the gangster said that he would let me go, I The whole person was in a daze, but when he came out, he felt regretful, and began to worry about Huaijin's safety, and felt that he shouldn't have run out like that."

"The result almost disrupted your rhythm..." She gave Bai Zhongli a shameful smile as she spoke, as if apologizing.

"It doesn't matter." Bai Zhongli didn't expect that she would feel guilty about such a thing, so he quickly comforted her, "How can you blame this? It's just that the situation was urgent at the time, and Sister Kan was worried about everyone's safety. Serious."

"Sister Kan?" Su Nian frowned, and then recalled who he was talking about, "Is it that beautiful female police officer?"

"Yeah." Bai Zhongli nodded, and when he mentioned Kanzhen, his eyes naturally showed admiration, "Sister Kan is usually very strict in handling cases, but she is very gentle in private and often helps me. , and even occasionally cute."

The look on his face when he talked about Kan Zhen became awkward when it came to Shannian.She clasped her hands together, unable to restrain her displeasure, and said sourly, "Oh... really, it seems that she has helped you a lot, right?"

Bai Zhongli heard that her words were wrong, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said just now, so he had to explain it this way, "We are okay, we are colleagues. In fact, everyone in the police station has a good relationship. Sister Kan should just be willing to help others. This year, she went home with Brother Chen to celebrate the New Year, just to prevent Brother Chen from being urged to marry again..."

After blurting out this sentence, Bai Zhongli suddenly regretted it.

He knew about Shannian's relationship with Xiaobai, and naturally he also knew about Xiaobai's relationship with Zhou Qichen.But he also felt that deliberately explaining something would make the description darker and darker, so he stopped talking.

"Shall we celebrate the new year together?" Su Nian was slightly startled, but seeing that Bai Zhongli didn't speak anymore, he didn't ask too many questions either.It's just that I gave Kan Zhen another 'x' in my heart.

"Look, the Red Street is just ahead, and we're going to the temple fair!"

Looking at the bustling alley not far away, even if Bai Zhongli didn't mention Su Nian, he had already guessed it.I saw a lot of people flocking in that direction, with smiles and joyful words, creating a bustling New Year scene.

"Ah, it's here!" Su Nian's mood seemed to brighten all of a sudden, and he temporarily forgot what happened just now.She joyfully grabbed Bai Zhongli, shook him twice, and said with a smile on her face, "It looks so lively!"

"That's right..." Bai Zhongli also looked there. Although he had stayed in Maicheng for several years, this was the first time he came to the temple fair in person.

Since his ex-boyfriend passed away, he has deliberately avoided such lively scenes.Sometimes I feel that I am very strange. I am clearly afraid of silence and fear to death, but I still can't enjoy the excitement.

And Su Nian couldn't bear it any longer, and ran in first.Bai Zhongli hesitated, and finally stepped into the hilarity that he hadn't seen for a long time.

But he was still one step too late, the crowd was so overwhelming that he couldn't find Su Nian's figure anymore.He anxiously looked around the alley, and tentatively called out her name,

"...Luo Su Nian?"

But no one responded, the hawker selling candied haws pushed his car past him without even looking at him; several three-inch-sized children held the New Year's money given by their parents and surrounded the car for group buying; Guitar, singing songs with unclear lyrics; there is even a stage not far away, with heavy makeup and a big show.

This place can be said to have everything one could expect, but Bai Zhongli lost the girl who came along the way.Once again, the wave of people who dispersed them, as if they had dispersed the fate of him and his lover, made him feel panic.

He could only look around, but at that moment, from the crowd, he inconceivably captured a person who was as deep in his mind as he could never see again.

is it him?Bai Zhongli's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and there was no one else in his sight.He rushed forward with a stride, trying to drag him back from the crowd.

"... "

However, when he came here, he couldn't find anything.

But Bai Zhongli's heart was still about to jump to his throat. He tried his best to search forward, pushing away one passerby after another, but his eyes seemed unable to gather a single focus, and everything became blurred.

"Ten thousand…"

He wanted to call out that name again, but found that he was already dumb, as if there was a lump in his throat.The familiar name seemed to be stuck there, and the whole person froze.

Suddenly, he felt someone pat him from behind.Like a puppet that had been reintroduced with vitality, he turned around almost instantly, and firmly grasped that hand.

"Pain..." The girl cried out in pain softly, and then completely summoned his consciousness back.Only then did he realize that he was firmly grasping Luo Shannian's wrist, and because of too much force, he was about to lift the little girl up.

"...Sorry!" He hurriedly let go of her hand, and apologized to her full of guilt, "I didn't hurt you just now, did I?"

"Why are you doing this? Why are you using such strength!" Shanian flicked her sore wrist. She had turned around and found Bai Zhongli had disappeared after entering the alley, and it took her a long time to find him. As a result, he was treated like this as soon as he came up, and the whole person was inexplicable.

"Sorry, I just..." Bai Zhongli paused, "...I didn't find you just now, I was a little anxious, I used too much force."

"Huh?" Su Nian's movement of shaking his hands gradually stopped, and his eyes were a little more surprised.She presumptuously interpreted Bai Zhongli's words as caring for her, and the buds sprouting in her heart seemed to grow as if they had received sunlight.

Bai Zhongli didn't care about these things, but after apologizing again, he motioned to continue walking.Su Nian kept talking non-stop, and he just bowed his head silently at the side, recalling the flashing figure just now.

Am I wrong?Could it be that the festive atmosphere made him miss his lover so much that he mistook a passerby for him?

That's right, that person has been sacrificed for so long, how could he appear in front of him again... Thinking of the sudden pain in Bai Zhongli's heart at this moment, he stopped walking, gritted his teeth and covered his chest.

The chattering Shannian sensed what was wrong with him, hurriedly shut up, supported him and asked, "Officer Bai, you, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Bai Zhongli shook his head at her, and pushed away her supporting hand.

"Why don't we sit on the stool in front for a while?" Shanian was still worried, and supported him again.

This time Bai Zhongli did not refuse, he nodded lightly, and the two sat down on the chair together.

"How is it? Is it serious? Is it better?" As soon as he sat down, Shanian reached out and patted his back again, asking with concern.

It was just a momentary pain, and it has improved by now.Bai Zhongli was not used to her touching his body like this, so he straightened up politely, "It's okay, it's just that it's healed just now."

"Well..." Shanian retracted her hand, looked into his clear eyes, and nodded, "That's good."

The street is still full of people coming and going, looking happy.But because of that glance, Bai Zhongli suddenly lost the interest to continue shopping, so he closed his eyes.

"Officer Bai." However, Su Nian, who had been silent for a while, suddenly couldn't help opening his mouth again. Bai Zhongli didn't open his eyes, but just said "Huh?", indicating that he heard it.

"I have a question to ask you." The girl twisted her hands together restlessly, glanced at him, and found that he had also turned his head to look at her, so she boldly asked the question,

"Can I ask, Officer Bai... what kind of girls do you like?"

She pursed her lower lip, and said hesitantly, "Or, what do you think of a girl like me, Officer Bai?"

"..." Bai Zhongli didn't know how to answer this sudden question.In fact, from the first day when he sent Shannian away from the police station, he noticed all kinds of small movements and expressions of Shannian, but he didn't dare to guess narcissistically.But now, with the pink on her cheeks, she has become more clear about her thoughts.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what it is, I don't like it." Since that's the case, he also said the truth, "I don't plan to fall in love for a while, maybe for a long time."

Seeing Su Nian's expression turn from anticipation to bleakness, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his words.He just hoped that she would stop wasting her feelings on him, after all his heart was already occupied by the person who passed away.I have no hope, and I don't want to give anyone an illusory expectation.

"Okay..." Su Nian was a little disappointed by this answer, but she didn't hear what Bai Zhongli really meant.Instead, he made up his mind more firmly in his heart, thinking that he was the one who could awaken his love.

It seems that everyone will have this kind of blind self-confidence, but the reality does not allow any beautiful illusions.

"Hey, Wan Feiguang, where did you go just now?"

At this moment, the man who came from afar finally followed the crowd to the exit at the end of the red alley.Seeing his companions waving at him from a distance, he quickly trotted towards them.

"What's more... There are so many people here, I won't be able to find you if you're not careful."

Wan Feiguang scratched his head as he spoke, and smiled at his friend who had been waiting for a long time, his eyes narrowed into a beautiful arc.He was wearing a bright red coat today, and his tall and straight figure seemed a bit eye-catching, which made him feel that someone was calling his name behind him just now.

But when I turned around, I didn't feel that there was anyone behind me.

After thinking about it, I just came to this city to relax and relieve the depression of unemployment after the original company closed down. Apart from these few friends, I don't know anyone at all, so it can only be an illusion in my heart.

"I said, Feiguang! After this Spring Festival, have you decided where to continue?" One of his friends brought up this topic and asked him about his plans for the future.

"I've already contacted Mr. Qin in Beihai, and I'll go to him after the Chinese New Year. He plans to open an original brand clothing company, and he reserved a position for me."

Wan Feiguang truthfully reported his future to his friends.He looked up into the distance, and suddenly felt that the winter sun was so warm, and suddenly he heard someone calling his name in the distance.

I turned my head, but I never found that voice from the crowd.
