salt by salt

Silence is a polite refusal.

Tong Xinqi's tears fell down, she buried her face between her bent legs, covering her wrinkled nose from crying.I patted the girl's back lightly, felt her body tremble, and felt a little pity in my heart.

After a while, she had cried enough, took the tissue I handed over, and wiped her face vigorously: "I'm sorry, is it childish for me to say those words? Don't avoid me from now on."

"No." I said softly, "I also did a lot of crazy things when I was a teenager. If I like it, I like it. I don't need to hide my feelings. I think you are very brave. But in the future, you can think more carefully about things, so as not to Be lied to."

Tong Xinqi stared sideways at me, there were still tears on her eyelashes, but her smile was pure and clear: "Uncle, you are so kind and good-looking."

I am grateful for her straightforward praise, but I have a clear understanding of myself, and I never take such words seriously: "Such a sweet mouth and such a pretty face, she must be very popular in class."

She poked my cheek with her hand, and said seriously: "No, no, you are a good-looking type. You can't tell the difference, but you are very pleasing to the eye. Really, uncle, if you become an anchor, you will definitely become popular, and you don't need to turn on the filter I've thought about it, you can be the type of brother next door, usually you only need to sing, it's much easier than in a convenience store."

Tong Xinqi didn't seem to give up persuading me to become an anchor. I had no interest in it, but when she saw that her mood had improved, I smiled accordingly and didn't discourage her enthusiasm.

It happened that she said she was tired and yawned for a long time. I changed the subject and said, "You have dark circles under your eyes, do you not have a good rest?"

"I spent the night at my classmate's house last night, and I talked a little late." She smiled shyly and rubbed her eyes, "I didn't expect to be so tired when I was walking outside. I usually don't feel it."

I touched her head: "Calm down? I'll take you home."

Tong Xinqi bit her lip and shook her head: "No, I still hate my mother. But I know you will be very worried if you don't go home, so you can force yourself. And you promised to come to my band performance, but Don't go back on your word."

I stretched out my hand and pulled her to stand up, when I suddenly heard an eager female voice coming from the path behind me: "Qiqi! Qiqi! Where are you?"

Tong Xinqi was stunned for a moment, turned her head to meet the well-dressed middle-aged woman, and called out "Mom" in a low voice.Her mother walked up to us quickly, and I was about to speak, but I was pushed away a few steps by the Tong mother, only then did I realize that Tong Xinqi and I were still holding hands, looking ambiguous and intimate.

Tong Xinqi twisted her arms in dissatisfaction: "Mom! What are you doing?!"

"The teacher said that you didn't go back to school for two days. Do you know how hard it was for your mother to find it?" Despite the makeup, the child mother's expression was haggard. I haven't told your dad yet, let's see if he will protect you this time?!"

A few policemen in uniform came with Tong's mother. They stood between me and Tong Xinqi, and their attitude was very kind.

Tong Mu glanced at me with sharp eyes: "You are only 16 years old! You still know who took away the bank card. Who ordered it? What are you trying to do? Your sister is almost scared to death by you. She has just been discharged from the hospital, can you Excuse me, mom?"

"No one instructed! It's not what you think at all! Can you listen to me?! You are my sister and sister all day long, and you are also my mother. Have you ever considered me?!"

Tong Xinqi's anger was instantly ignited, and the teenager's emotions were easily stimulated. She suddenly raised her voice and vehemently refuted her mother.

A kind-faced female policeman reconciled: "It's good that the child is found, Ms. Li, Tong, and... this gentleman, let's talk about the rest at the bureau."

My tongue was bitter, and I let out a long sigh.

Tong's mother only learned of Tong Xinqi's disappearance from the teacher in the afternoon. Fortunately, Tong's family has some connections in this city. The police immediately adjusted the surveillance to find her whereabouts. At the same time, it proved that I did not meet Tong Xinqi for long. Nothing excessive.

The person who was looking for was found, and this matter became very simple, and no official transcript was made.

Although Tong Xinqi confronted her mother tit for tat, after a lot of tossing, she somewhat regained her sense, explained it for me, and finally said coldly: "Not everyone has bad intentions, he has been persuading me to go home, my friend I know it myself."

Mother Tong's attitude towards me was much softer, but she was still a little embarrassed because of the misunderstanding just now: "Mom will thank Mr. Xu for you."

"Who wants to thank you? I want you to apologize! You slandered my friend!"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that the topic was wrong, the female policeman immediately hugged her shoulder comfortingly, and led her away from the mediation room, "Student Tong, your voice is hoarse, come to this room, My sister will make you a glass of milk."

The Tong mother handed over a business card, brushed her hair from her sideburns, and put on a polite and distant smile on her face: "Mr. Contact information, and let this girl apologize to you later. I was in a hurry just now and said something unpleasant, I hope you can understand the mood of being a mother, don't take it to heart. "

I didn't get angry because of this, I just smiled, glanced at the business card, and my eyes froze slightly.Tong Mu is a senior executive of a famous winery. Xu Yucheng liked one of their wines very much before, so I was deeply impressed by the name of this winery.

The policeman next to him saw that he understood the matter, and said: "Ms. Li, Mr. Xu, as long as the child is found. We still need to make a record here. Please leave your identity information for registration and handle the handover procedures."

Mother Tong took out her ID card from her bag, and I paused: "This is not a criminal case, can I just leave?"

"Don't worry, this is just a file, and it won't have any negative impact on you." He said, "If you don't bring your ID card, you can report your ID number."

No, "Xu Junyan" is dead in City B, maybe his household registration has been cancelled, and I'm afraid that the ID number I reported is also invalid.However, the hesitation at this moment seemed particularly suspicious, and I said calmly: "I forgot the last few digits, I'll ask my family."

Seeing the other party nodding, I went out and dialed Song Cheng's number.The phone was picked up quickly, and Song Cheng's voice was pleasant, and there was a subtle tenderness in just a few words: "Junyan, what's the matter?"

I closed my eyes, felt a little embarrassed, took a deep breath, and briefly talked about my situation.He listened quietly, and finally I lowered my voice and said, "I don't want to be wrong again, can you..."

"Wait for me to solve it." Even the interruption was just right, before I could say the word "help", Song Cheng thoughtfully said, "Junyan, it's just a trivial matter."

Song Cheng was waiting for me outside. He was standing beside the car, with handsome and profound features, and a long dark coat over a beige sweater, outlining a tall and slender figure.Passers-by frequently stare at me, but I am unconscious and staring at me intently.

I sat in the car, and he handed me a cup of hot drink, warmed his palms to cover my cold skin, and didn't mention the oolong caused by Tong Xinqi: "Hands are so cold, go back and cook some stomach-warming porridge for you Drink, okay?"

The car stopped near the park, there was no one around, seeing that I didn't answer, he leaned over and kissed my lips: "Junyan?"

"I want to go back to City B." I turned my eyes away from his pretty eyebrows, which were so close together, "At least get back my identity as a normal person."

Song Cheng's smiling eyes were crooked, thick eyelashes covering his dark eyes: "Actually, you can leave it to me, and you don't have to go back by yourself."

I said, "It's not that easy, the Xu family, and my mother..."

"They won't dare to bother you, I promise."

"Yang Chen won't give up."

"I'll take care of it."

"Where's Andre?"

"I can accept your brother's existence." Song Cheng and I clasped our fingers tightly, with a consensual look, his eyes seemed to see through all my thoughts, and he said firmly, "You don't love him, I can tell. Wait. You are tired of being responsible for him, I will find a suitable way to send him away. Do you have any worries?"

I stared at him for a while without saying a word, Song Cheng touched my cheek with the other hand, and there was a kind of love and affection belonging to a superior in his tone: "Junyan, you are so good when you are not talking, it makes people angry , I just want to kiss you."

This familiar conversation reminded me of the time in Jincheng when he thought he had me firmly in his hands.His body trembled unconsciously under his hands, not out of fear, but out of long-lost excitement.

"What are you thinking about?"

I looked up at Song Cheng, and said in a low voice, "I want to solve some things by myself, and I haven't been home for a long time. Why don't you go back to City B with me? Forget it, you're pretty stable here, unlike I don't have a serious job..."

"What's this called?" He scratched the bridge of my nose, smiled slightly, the expression on that face was gentle and reliable, very charming, "I came here because of you, and going back is just a matter of words."

He said that he could tolerate Andre for me, fight against Yang Chen, and solve the threat from Xu's family and mother, but it was not enough.I used to be afraid of touching Song Cheng's bottom line, but now I am eager to try, wondering how far he can go.

Sensitive, cowardly, at the mercy of others, indecisive.I can show you what kind of me you like.

"I don't know what to do." I pursed my lips and lowered my eyes, "What if I never love you..."

"It's my mission to make you fall in love with me again, not yours." Song Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed against my neck, I smelled the refreshing fragrance of his body, "Junyan, we still look like we just met It's the same time—no, there's no need for that, to be honest, I don't know how to get along better, but we can take our time."

The smile he showed to me was much more real than before, as bright as a bright sun, and I couldn't help but smile too.

Laughing that he didn't understand me from the beginning to the end. He didn't admit that there is no reunion after a broken mirror in this world, and he didn't admit that a broken cup will never return to its original shape.

Song Cheng, I don't want you to be in a steady state of mind. I want you to be in a mess, let go of your reason, and be played and controlled like I used to be, showing your weaknesses until you fall into the quagmire of love.

I will only become sharp, sharp, and cruel, like a piece of debris, shining all over the ground.

I am used to picking things out of the bag, it is better to taste the taste of chestnuts in the fire.
