Have you experienced despair?

Minglou looked at the bustling crowd and his own empty hands, and suddenly stood on the road a little at a loss.

I looked around and searched, but I didn't see that familiar figure, but a few minutes ago, Ah Cheng was happily muttering that he would have some authentic French dinner with him tonight...

Of course, no matter how close the United Kingdom is to France, we can’t eat authentic French food, so let’s move the time forward a bit, and the minute hand should move back by more than 600 divisions...

10:00am, France

"I'm leaving, you go to the coffee shop outside the school and wait for me for a while, it's warm inside." Minglou got out of the car.

Ah Cheng yawned, waved his hands and said, "No need, I'll wait for you in the car, I want to sleep for a while, I'm a little sleepy."

Minglou thought about it, Ah Cheng was catching up on homework last night, and went to the airport to catch the plane before going to sleep in the early morning, and he must be tired right now: "Just sleep for a while, don't turn off the car. Now, turn on the heater and be careful not to catch a cold."

Ah Cheng put down the back of his chair and started to wander, unable to hear what Minglou said.Seeing him nodding his head perfunctorily, Minglou shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand to pinch Ah Cheng's nose, and when he was about to protest, leaned up to him and kissed him tenderly, saying, "Wait for me to come back."

There was still no one answering him, only Ah Cheng, who was sleeping on the seat, blushed quietly.Minglou looked at Ah Cheng's moist lips that were kissed by him with satisfaction, couldn't help but kissed again, before he was willing to close the car door and left in a hurry.

Ding dong ding dong ding dong...

After falling asleep for a while, the phone rang.Ah Cheng frowned uncomfortably and took out his phone from his pocket. Seeing that it was Ling Yuan's video invitation, he rubbed his eyes and connected.

"Hi, Uncle." Ah Cheng held up his mobile phone and yawned while greeting Ling Yuan vaguely on the screen.

"Where are you? Sleepy-eyed, didn't you go to class?" Ling Yuan asked with a smile.

Ah Cheng said, "Hey, I'm in France."

Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you go to France again?"

"My brother had some errands to do at the school before he came back, so he can bring an assistant. I don't have many classes these two days, so I just came to have fun with him. I didn't take a good look around last time." Ah Cheng said.

Ling Yuan smiled and said, "Why didn't you play it last time? Didn't I hear you say that you plan to attend a wedding one day and go sightseeing one day?"

Ah Cheng rubbed his nose, that's what he said before he came to France last time, but what he didn't tell Ling Yuan was: the last time he came to France, he went to look for Minglou early the next morning, and it ended up being a whole day later. He was in a daze all day, how could he be in the mood to go out and play.

Looking at Ah Cheng's expression on the screen, Ling Yuan knew that there must be some twists and turns. After all, he had raised him for so many years, and he knew every move of this kid like the back of his hand.However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Ling Yuan thought about the young people. He didn't need to take care of them too much, but it was counterproductive.

"Uncle is still in the hospital?" Ah Cheng glanced at the time and said, "It's already off work time, you don't look like you have something to do, and you still have time to video with me, so... are you waiting for someone? Li sir ?”

Seeing his cleverness, Ling Yuan suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, he said this morning that he would..."

Before he finished speaking, Ah Cheng heard someone else's voice from Ling Yuan, and Ling Yuan was also looking up, probably looking in the direction of the door.Immediately afterwards, Ah Cheng saw Ling Yuan standing up "teng", reaching out and putting the phone in his pocket.

Ah Cheng stayed in Ling Yuan's pocket, knowing that something urgent must have happened, and his uncle was afraid that he would not have time to chat with him for a while, so he hung up the video, closed his eyes again, and wanted to take advantage of Ming Lou Get some extra sleep before you come back.

Hmm... Stretch out, I didn't expect to sleep quite comfortably, and it's just right to sleep in winter.

"woke up?"

Um?Hearing Minglou's laughing voice, Ah Cheng opened his eyes, and was surprised to find that the car was no longer at the school gate, but was driving.Minglou was driving the car, his side face was sharp and angular in the light and shadow, like a masterpiece of God's craftsmanship, Ah Cheng was so fascinated by it that he couldn't move his eyes, and he didn't notice that the corners of Minglou's mouth were slightly curved.

"Where are we going?" Ash asked.

Minglou said seriously, "I sold you."

The corners of Cheng's mouth twitched, and he said, "Please give me a chance to call my uncle and tell him your tattoo and hair color, so that he can rush here to save me."

""Taken"? That won't work, I can't bear it. Why don't I just spend a little more and buy you." Minglou laughed softly.

Ah Cheng pouted, ignoring him.With a glance, he saw several rolls of napkins in the small trash can in front of him, and asked him strangely, "Are you having a cold?"

After hearing what he said, Ming Lou suppressed a smile and said, "I don't have a cold, and it's not from wiping my nose."

Ah Cheng wondered: "Really? What are you doing if you don't wipe your nose?"

Seeing Ah Cheng's questioning, Ming Lou couldn't hold back anymore, laughed out loud, and said, "I'm going to check your pillow when I get home, and by the way, I'm going to ask brother Ling Yuan, do you have to help me every day before you get up for so many years?" Wipe your saliva."

"I don't! I don't drool!" Hearing what he said, Ah Cheng instantly understood what those balls of napkins were for, and blushed and protested: "I just didn't sleep well, I usually sleep Not drooling!"

Minglou's eyes almost overflowed with a smile, and he said, "Really not bleeding? Then I'll check next time."

Ah Cheng asked blankly: "How to test?"

Minglou didn't expect this child to be so sincere, and he was taken aback for a moment.But soon, he smiled ambiguously and said, "How do you test?" He was driving, but he reached out quickly, grabbed Ah Cheng's front, and pulled the defenseless Ah Cheng with a little force. Come over and kiss.When leaving, he said softly: "Of course I tested it on the bed..."

"Ahh! Look at the road!" Ah Cheng blushed and pushed Minglou back suddenly. Minglou laughed happily and deliberately turned the car in the opposite direction and then returned to the right direction, which made Ah Cheng want to reach out and beat him After two punches, his angry face swelled up, and Minglou smiled even more happily while driving...

Hiss... I don't know what time it is, and I agreed to wait for Ling Yuan to pick him up after get off work, but it turned out to be an urgent operation.Li Xunran's cat was on standby one kilometer away from the target location. Looking at the completely dark sky, she inexplicably remembered the words Yaoyao always chanted recently: Hey...friend, have you experienced despair?

Police officer Xiao Li didn't drive when he ran to the hospital yesterday, and he wanted to drive Ling Yuan's car away this morning, and he said he would pick him up on time, but now he's fine, Ling Yuan is probably still waiting in the hospital.

I hope that Comrade Lao Ling will still treat me to a warm meal.Officer Li wiped away tears, thinking sadly.

But speaking of it, the last time Dean Ling went to the police station, he happened to see himself in a police uniform.His eyes were almost turning green, and he probably wanted to push himself on the table to do something inappropriate for children.Although Ling Yuan never mentioned it to him later, that guy definitely seemed to have this special... little hobby, so why don't you go back and wear your uniform tonight?Dean Ling probably has to be busy with some work, and he definitely doesn't have time to talk about me.

"After playing all afternoon, are you tired?" Ah Cheng asked.

"It's just crowded in the Louvre. Have you forgotten? In the past, in China, wasn't I responsible for buying New Year's goods every year? I never lost it with you and Mingtai. I still He's pretty good at it." Minglou said quite proudly.

Ah Cheng laughed out loud, and asked, "What about the past few years? What do you do during Chinese New Year?"

"Hmmm... call Eldest Sister and Brother Ming to say New Year greetings, and then sleep at home." Minglou said.

Ah Cheng curled his lips and said, "You deserve it, who told you not to go home for four years, the eldest sister has to miss you every year. Are you going home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Minglou rubbed his chin and said, "You don't have a holiday, how can you go home?"

"Our tutor has been telling me that he wants to go to Sun Yat-sen University for exchange. He still has a set of precious Song edition books in his hand. I don't know where he got it. But I was thinking about fooling him to go to Nantah University. Mr. Qiu is also familiar with him, and he is also very interested in restoration of Western languages... Besides, the fact that we Chinese can use dough to remove dust is enough for foreigners to be rare, let alone Mr. Qiu's pulp restoration. The time for reconciliation is set before the Spring Festival, and I will spend a few more days at that time, and it will not be a problem to spend the New Year at home." Ah Cheng said proudly.

"Okay, you kid, it's been planned for a long time? Then it seems that I have to think about how to ask for a leave to go home?" Ming Lou said with a smile.

Ah Cheng shrugged and said, "Isn't it easy for you to ask for leave? Are there no invitations to academic conferences in China?"

Minglou said, "Yes, but it's impossible to open at the end of the year no matter what."

Ah Cheng wrinkled his nose and said, "That's true, but I can handle my own part, I don't have time to help you."

"You, little white-eyed wolf." Minglou scolded with a smile.

"Hmm... Christmas is almost here. Is there a Christmas market over there? Let's go and have a look." Ah Cheng saw the crowds of people in the distance, and it seemed very lively. There was even a Christmas house set up on the side of the road. There are also Santa Claus and Christmas elves taking pictures with the children.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Ming Lou said, reaching out his hand to Ah Cheng.

Ah Cheng was stunned, not knowing what he meant, Minglou smiled and said, "Why, there are so many people in front, if you don't hold brother's hand, you won't be afraid of getting lost?"

Ah Cheng heard the deliberate teasing in his tone, and slapped him on the hand angrily, and said, "Don't worry, if you are afraid that your hand will be empty, I will carry all the things you bought in a while."

Seeing that he refused to honestly let him hold hands, Minglou quickly reached out and grabbed Ah Cheng's left hand and held it tightly, saying, "Then hold me hard, I'm afraid I'll get lost." Then he pretended As if nothing happened, he walked quickly to the Christmas market and continued: "Swipe my brother's card today, let you buy enough, how about it?"

The cold winter air made both of them breath white. Ah Cheng knew that Minglou was afraid of the cold, so he always wore gloves in winter.But now he felt the right hand that he held tightly with her.It was a dry, warm feeling, an unobstructed temperature directly from Minglou.

Ah Cheng quietly glanced at Minglou's empty left hand, but he was still wearing the pair of gloves he just bought this year.I don't know when I started planning to hold hands, but I took off my gloves early in the morning and got ready.Thinking of this, Ah Cheng lowered his head, his big eyes silently smiled into a crescent moon, and his overflowing smile was as charming as starlight.

The two wandered along the stalls facing the street, waiting for their meal.Ah Cheng was already a little hungry, and he and Minglou were thinking about what to have for dinner.

Just at this time, a person walked towards him, and after seeing Minglou, he called him in surprise and surprise: "Minglou?"

According to the reputation, Ah Cheng is a slightly bald middle-aged French man, probably an old acquaintance of Minglou.The conspicuous hairline really made Ah Cheng unable to ignore it. After thinking about it, he seemed to have seen him in the photos on Minglou's Facebook, so he should be a former colleague.

Ah Cheng was thinking about it, when Minglou saw the man, he immediately responded: "Jasper! It's been a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here." Saying this, he walked forward.But at the same time, he also let go of Ah Cheng's hand, which he had been holding all along.

The left hand that had been surrounded by warmth was suddenly released, and he felt the coolness from the air instantly, which made Ah Cheng stunned for a moment.Looking down blankly at his empty hands, Ah Cheng looked at the Minglou who was walking towards his friend quickly, and comforted himself secretly: It's nothing, isn't it?

Minglou had already chatted with the man named Jasper in front of him, Ah Cheng walked to them slowly, and Minglou was telling Jasper why he came back to France.

"Minglou, you haven't introduced me yet, this is..." Jasper asked.

Ah Cheng was about to introduce himself when he heard Ming Lou reply in French: "This is my younger brother, Ming Cheng." He paused, looked at Jasper and said, "The one who is not related by blood, you know of."

Ah Cheng knew that Minglou didn't know that he could speak French, and he never told him about it.So when Minglou introduced himself to Jasper in brisk French, Ah Cheng squeezed his cold fingers silently, forgetting to return a polite smile to Jasper.

Minglou didn't notice anything wrong with Ah Cheng, he looked at Ah Cheng, and introduced to Ah Cheng in Chinese: "Ah Cheng, this is my colleague in France, Jasper Amberville, who also helped Many friends of mine."

Ah Cheng listened to his words, nodded, forced a smile and said to Gaspar: "Hi sir, I'm very glad to meet you." After saying that, Ming Lou raised his eyebrows and looked at Ah Cheng unexpectedly. What Cheng said was fluent French.

"I often hear my brother mentioning you. Believe me, if it weren't for such a coincidence, I would really like to stay and join your conversation. It's just that I happened to remember seeing something that my friend has always wanted very much in a passing store. I have to go back and buy it first, otherwise I worry that it will be bad if someone else buys it later." Ah Cheng quickly told the lie he made up, he squeezed his cold fingers, and now he just wants to go to other places place to go.

After hearing what he said, Jasper quickly agreed to let Ah Cheng leave first, but Minglou's eyes dimmed, he knew that Ah Cheng was lying.

For some reason tonight, there were so many people on the street. Ah Cheng walked in the crowd, following the flow of people, not knowing where he was going.

The tip of his nose suddenly felt a little cold, Ah Cheng reached out to touch it, and found a little bit of water.

"Snowing."

Someone on the road raised their heads one after another, and they were pleasantly surprised to find snowflakes falling down in the dark night illuminated by lights.

Because there was no wind, the snow drifted very slowly. Ah Cheng stopped walking while watching the snowflakes falling under the warm-colored street lamp.

What the hell are you messing with?Is it not true that I will always be his brother?It's just that I am too greedy, and I seem to expect a little too much.Ah Cheng smiled wryly.

But when Mingming was in England, not to mention Gao Wen and Merlin, even Mrs. Harveyson often said to Minglou: "Don't be shy, my dear, the couple in 221b next door are already married, don't worry, I'm not one of those stuffy old ladies."

How did Minglou answer?Let him think about it, Ming Lou said this: "As long as I am not shy, I am ready at any time."

Ah Cheng stretched out his hand and caught a snowflake slowly drifting down.Even though he couldn't feel a trace of warmth in his hands, the snowflakes still melted.

Have you experienced despair?

Ah Cheng sighed: After all, what else do I need?

Hurrying to the operating room with the nurse, Ling Yuan didn't even have time to turn off the video with Ah Cheng just now.

"What's the patient's condition now?" Ling Yuan asked.

"Multiple soft tissue injuries throughout the body, mild concussion in the head, the most serious is the rupture of the radial artery and ulnar artery of the left arm, the blood loss is estimated to be about 1200cc, and hemorrhagic shock has occurred." The nurse quickly reported the situation to Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan frowned and said, "Who is on duty today? Li Rui?"

The little nurse trotted behind Ling Yuan, panting and reported: "Hospital, Dean! It was Dr. Li who asked me to come to you, and he said..."

Ling Yuan urged: "What did he say?"

The little nurse said with a look of embarrassment: "He said, let me inform you that the patient is someone you know..."

Ling Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition rushed to his mind, sending him spinning.He stopped abruptly, grabbed the railing next to him, took a deep breath, and asked, "The patient's name?"

"Li Xunran..."
