when you stare into the abyss

Wan Xiaoyu usually sleeps next to her grandmother at night, but when Zhao Guoying is on a business trip, she can only sleep in the small bed beside the two of them.In the early hours of the morning when she was hungry, she would cry. Nie Zhiyan was afraid that Wan Tong would not be energetic at work the next day, so she always carried the baby to the next room to drink milk, and then put her to sleep.

So Wan Xiaoyu has been attached to Nie Zhiyan since she was a child, and Wan Tong's desire to hug her depends on the child's mood that day.

"I'll hug you, okay?" Captain Xiaowan gestured, and saw Wan Xiaoyu's eyes widen, the dark beads spun around twice, glanced at Nie Zhiyan, saw her nodding and smiling, she seemed to be reluctant to change direction and stretched towards Wan Tong shot.

"It's really a face." Wan Tong hugged the girl in his arms, Nie Zhiyan helped her pull out the chair, and then the two sat down.Except for the children, seven people can rarely get together, either one is busy, or the other is busy.As soon as they were seated, the chatterbox was opened by Lu Dongdong, a friend of women.

"Boss, when will you and Police Officer Wan have a treat? We can't delay any longer."

"Hey, Brother Dong, we are not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

"He, looking forward to candy." Ye Jing picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in the bowl next to it. They belonged to a sister-brother relationship, and Ye Jing liked to take care of others.As a junior, Lu Dongdong is immersed in honey every day, but he is responsible for taking care of the children. He is a full-fledged dad and helps share a lot.

Wan Tong replied: "September, on the day Mom has set, we'll be with my sister and the others." After it rained a lot at home, Wan Tong followed Nie Zhiyan and called her Sister Nie Zhilan.

"Ah, two couples, I'm so happy to propose. Who asked for it? If there is no certificate, we have to do everything else." Lu Dongdong asked, and the four people at the table all thought of a certain day.

After Zhao Yingying proposed the wedding date, Wan Tong was thinking about the arrival of that day, and took Nie Zhilan to pick out the ring after get off work that night.After choosing and choosing, the two finally chose the style they liked.

"Sister, will you like Yan Yan?"

"Ah Yan will definitely like it, Tongtong, I'm too plain to pick this one, your little sister Bei's appreciation level is much higher than mine." Nie Zhilan held the small ring in her palm, and then asked worriedly.

"Oh, I suddenly feel that as long as we buy it, they will like it, so I won't change it." Wan Tong asked the clerk to help pack it, and his agitated heart calmed down a little.

Picking a day is worse than hitting the day, late at night Gu Bei came home from overtime work, and Nie Zhilan, who said she didn't understand romance, cooked the dumplings herself, and hid the cleaned and sterilized rings into the dumpling fillings.I specially marked the red dots, cooked two bowls in the pot, one bowl for Nie Zhiyan who also worked overtime, and the other bowl was taken to the study.

When Gu Bei picked up the spoon, Nie Zhilan bent her lips and stared at her for a moment, because she wanted to see the other party's first reaction clearly.

But at the end of the meal, there was nothing.

Nie Zhilan asked suspiciously: "Bei, is it delicious? Is it full of stuffing?" She couldn't swallow it... She had mixed feelings, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the next room.

"Sister hid it, she must have brought the wrong bowl, there are no surprises now."

When Nie Zhilan heard the sound, she rushed over immediately, while Wan Tong was holding the ring that hurt Nie Zhiyan's tooth, complaining all over her mouth.After receiving the ring, Director Nie went back to the study in a despondent manner, closed the door, and continued to work regardless of what happened.

Police officer Xiaowan lowered his head, let Nie Zhiyan go out to wash up, and then closed the door and approached, still looking unlovable. "Tongtong, it doesn't matter whether you are surprised or not, as long as I understand what you mean." The woman pulled her to sit down, and lay face to face with her, her warm breath caressing her ears.

"Yan Yan." Wan Tong called out in a low voice.

"Well, I'm here." Red lips slid across the other's cheek, Nie Zhiyan took the initiative to lean over to kiss her, and said softly, "Where is it? Put it on for me." After speaking, he reached out to touch Wan Tong's pocket, and as expected, he touched it. A small box, Captain Xiao Wan's habit of putting things in his pockets or trouser pockets has not changed.

You don't need to guess what is in the box, Nie Zhiyan slightly parted her thin lips, but said nothing, she slightly curled up the fingers of her left hand, waiting for Wan Tong's next move.

Now that they have come to this point, these forms are no longer needed, but Zhao Yingying wants to give the sisters the best, and Wan Tong also intends to do the same.The wedding is only once in a lifetime, and the preparations before the wedding and those memories and throbbing are only once.

Wan Tong opened the box, took Nie Zhiyan's hand gently, put the ring that carried his most sincere beliefs on her left middle finger, and then slowly moved it up, as if trying to wrap it tightly.

"Yanyan, please allow me to accompany you in the coming years."

A marriage proposal is solemn, and most people would probably cry with joy. At this moment, Nie Zhiyan was much more excited than before. With red eyes, she thought about this sentence for a long time before she nodded lightly and hummed.

This was an ordinary, but not ordinary night for the four of them.

While eating and chatting, Ye Jing suddenly mentioned the introduction.She was worried for Xia Zhiyun. Ye Ning died six years ago, and the people around him were single for six years.

The word "infatuation" sounds nice sometimes, but the people left behind live too tired.

"Sister Zhiyun, maybe my sister also hopes that there is someone who can continue to love you for her." Ye Jing looked up to get the approval of others, "Is it? What do you think?"

Nie Zhilan didn't answer, because she had the same plan as Xia Zhiyun at the beginning, no one else could walk into her heart.

Comparing their hearts to their hearts, no one responded, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a while.After a long time, Lu Dongdong coughed twice at the right time, wanting to change the subject, Xia Zhiyun suddenly said, "Ah Jing, don't worry, let everything follow fate." As the only one who was alone, she closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, raised Picking up the red wine glass, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he raised his voice, "I haven't wished our two little birthday stars a happy birthday yet."

"Yes, yes, yes, happy birthday." Lu Dongdong also raised his glass.

"Happy birthday."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun and the moon are flying fast, and the wedding is getting closer.At the end of July last year, considering that her child was studying and living in the police compound, someone would definitely gossip behind her back for a long time, so Zhao Yingying bought a second-hand house with five bedrooms, two halls and three bathrooms without telling them.The renovation started in August, and the house was officially accepted in February this year. It was only in September that I told a few young people about it.

Naturally, it was used as a wedding room. They had this idea a few years ago. The two families lived together and it was lively.

On September 9, the fourteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the eve of the wedding, Zhao Yingying took the two sisters of the Nie family to her bedroom, and then took out a wooden box from a locked drawer in the closet.

"Master and Master left early, I prepared the dowry for you a long time ago." She opened the box, and inside were two pairs of pure gold bracelets, with the words Zhilan and Zhiyan engraved on the inner walls.

"This..." The two sisters looked at each other.

"Don't refuse."

The two were stunned for a moment, and finally accepted it.

As is the custom before the wedding, the two couples cannot sleep together tonight.So they separated, Nie Zhiyan and Nie Zhilan lived in one room, Wan Tong and Gu Bei lived in one room.

The two sisters stayed up almost all night, talking with their eyes open until dawn.The situation in the other room was completely different, Wan Tong was so noisy that Gu Bei wanted to throw her out.

"Sister, brother-in-law? Or sister-in-law?"

Gu Bei rolled his eyes at her: "Try to yell nonsense?"

Captain Xiaowan was so thick-skinned that he rubbed over: "Sister Bei, have you really never been on top? Are you so mean?"

Gu Bei was speechless...

"Try that feeling tomorrow night, let me tell you..." The old driver changed his ways, and the little driver turned into an old driver.

In the end, Gu Bei put on the blindfold, plugged in the earphones and turned on Do Not Disturb, Wan Tong was also a little tired from talking, and fell asleep within 5 minutes after sticking to another pillow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waking up early the next day, Wan Tong and Nie Zhiyan chose a Chinese-style wedding, while Nie Zhilan and Gu Bei chose a Western-style wedding.Changing clothes and putting on makeup lasted until 09:30.The wedding was not complicated, and they saved everything they could. Gu Fang's elder sister, Gu Fang, sent her most sincere blessings as Gu Bei's relatives.There are also a few friends who know well, and those blessings come from the heart.

"The ceremony between Nie Zhilan and Gu Bei is over, and next is Wan Tong and Nie Zhiyan's Chinese wedding ceremony. Newcomers are invited to enter."

Lu Dongdong acted as the master of ceremonies and presided over two games in a row.

"Worship heaven and earth."

"Two thanks to the high hall."

"Wife and wife worship each other."

"Brides can lift each other's hijabs."

The two couldn't see each other, they first held hands, and then lifted them up slowly together, while uncovering the red veil on the head of the person who will accompany you in the future.

They saw the soft sparkle in each other's eyes.

"Great tea, respect tea, Director Zhao will drink the modified tea."

Ye Jing and Lu Dongdong brought two cups of tea, Nie Zhiyan knelt on the right side of Wan Tong, held the tea cups with both hands, and solemnly extended her hands to Zhao Yingying.

"Mom, please drink tea."

Zhao Guoying took a sip of tea, unable to suppress the tears in her eyes, two lines of tears flowed down: "Get up, get up." She handed the prepared red envelope to Nie Zhiyan, and then helped her up.

Nie Zhiyan's parents were away, so Zhao Yingying drank an extra cup of Wan Tongjing's tea, and naturally gave an extra red envelope.

In this situation, Nie Zhiyan did not refuse to drink at the subsequent banquet, so that she sent Lu Dongdong and the others away on her front foot, and then fell fainted on the big bed in the bedroom.She hasn't touched alcohol for more than five years, and she is still the same when she touches it, but she didn't sing today.

"Yanyan, you're not feeling well. Wipe your face first." It's best to take a shower four hours after drinking, and Nie Zhiyan should pay more attention to this situation.So Wan Tong took a basin and put it on the bedside table next to him, pressed out a little cleansing oil that Nie Zhiyan used occasionally, applied it carefully, and then washed it with a towel two or three times.

"Tong Tong." The woman listened to Wan Tong's footsteps coming and going, and pulled off a button that fixed the skirt of the cheongsam. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at her who had just changed into her pajamas when she came back to the room after taking a shower, full of obsession. .

The enthusiasm is getting stronger and stronger.

"Can't drink but still show off."

"I have to drink today." Nie Zhiyan pulled Wan Tong to sit on her lap, close to her right ear, and said in a low voice, "Help me take off the cheongsam, it's uncomfortable to lie like this."

Captain Xiaowan wrapped her in his arms as promised, and unbuttoned one after another. With such movements, different emotions quickly rose, and it was easy to misfire.When the first round of lingering was over, Wan Tong kissed Nie Zhiyan's collarbone dotted with red marks, and murmured in a low voice: "I want to hear you say you love me a few more times, say it a few more times." Wrapping the wet and thin lips of the other party, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside with a bang.

A small figure who had just learned to walk independently touched the door, not knowing what the two people on the bed were doing, walking closer and closer with their squeaky little shoes.

"Mom, Mommy, drink neinei."

Nie Zhiyan was so frightened that she quickly picked up the wrinkled pajamas on the left side and put it on Wan Tong, then she lifted the quilt and burrowed in, her cheeks flushed.

"Mom, Lao Zhao." Wan Tong shouted towards the door.

Wan Xiaoyu opened her blank eyes, waiting for someone to hug her. A few seconds later, Zhao Guoying, who was outside the house, heard the sound, rushed in three steps at a time, walked away with her arms around the girl's waist, and said a word of reproach before closing the door.

"The child is here, and I don't know how to lock the door when I'm doing important things." In fact, Captain Xiaowan not only didn't lock the door, but only covered it, and he could open it with a light push from the outside...

Nie Zhiyan's face was full of black lines, Wan Tong couldn't turn around no matter how much he coaxed her, and the thoughts of many times of hard work in the bridal chamber were completely destroyed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The water is flowing eastward, and the leaves are falling. In February 2024, 2-year-old Zhao Yingying retired, and she was at home helping to take care of the children.At the end of the year, Wan Tong was promoted to be the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Binnan City Bureau, and Zhu Fang, who had been at the city bureau all along, was the deputy captain. Together with his old partner, he was full of energy.Nie Zhiyan is still the chief of the forensic department, and has repeatedly given up the opportunity to go to the provincial capital. She loves her family and doesn't plan to move up.

Nie Zhilan has served as the director of the branch bureau for six years. In early 2024, she returned to Binnan City Bureau to serve as the deputy director, and the administrative level is deputy director.As for Gu Bei, she cooperated with Xia Zhiyun at the end of 2023, and her career started slowly. Then she discussed with Nie Zhilan and considered finding a partner for Xiaoyu, and Gu Bei conceived a child in a scientific way. At the end of October 2024, their child was born, also a daughter, named Nie Fanxin.Zhao Guoying said that taking care of one child means taking care of two children. Wan Xiaoyu, who is more than two years old, loves her sister very much and often looks at her in a daze.

In September 2025, when three-year-old Wan Xiaoyu entered kindergarten, the problem became apparent.Either push down the male classmate today, or throw away the schoolbag of the male classmate tomorrow.

When Nie Zhiyan went to pick her up from the kindergarten, the teacher always said, "This kid has a bit of a stubborn temper." The woman pulled the kid aside and asked patiently, "Why are you pushing and shoving the male students in the class?"

"He took off Xiaowen's (girls') pants."

"Where are you throwing your schoolbag?"

Wan Xiaoyu said aggrievedly: "He threw my notebook on the ground first."

Nie Zhiyan patted the girl's head and taught, "Tell the teacher in the future and let the teacher deal with it. Beating people and throwing things won't solve the problem."

"But I see Mommy beating bad guys and arresting bad guys." Wan Xiaoyu once saw Wan Tong arresting criminals on TV, and was deeply impressed.She raised her hand and said proudly.

"Mommy is a policeman and can catch bad guys, but Xiao Yu is still young, so beating someone should be punished."

"Oh, Mom, Xiao Yu knows she's wrong."

"Okay, let's not make an example." Nie Zhiyan leaned down and hooked up with the girl, made it clear, and apologized to the boy's parents, and the two sides reconciled.

It was almost six o'clock when we walked out of the kindergarten. Wan Tong, who came over after hearing the news, looked at the mother and daughter, with a smile on his lips, and greeted them.

She took the schoolbag from Nie Zhiyan's hand, held Wan Xiaoyu's other hand, and asked solemnly, "What, did you hit someone?"

"Well, I learned from you."

Captain Wan immediately retorted: "I was very good when I was young, and I didn't beat anyone."

Nie Zhiyan lowered her head and smiled slightly: "Well, I don't beat people, I throw broken windows of others, and I often cry."

"Mom, Xiaoyu doesn't like to cry. Xiaoyu is very strong. When she grows up, she must be better than Mommy when she grows up as a policeman."

"Well, we, Xiaoyu, are the best."

"Mommy is great too."

In the evening, the streets paved with old bluestone slabs are covered with fallen leaves of sycamore trees.The dim afterglow sprinkled on it, dyeing the area under your feet golden.

Holding hands, the two big and one small, facing the gorgeous sunset in the sky, they walked farther and farther, leaving behind overlapping backs.
