After flash marriage with female partner
Chapter 68
river bank
Jiang Yueli leaned against the tree trunk, lowered her head to send text messages on her mobile phone, and glanced at the busy people around her from the corner of her eye.
The police in plain clothes called the colleagues in charge of identification, while digging for clues on the bank of the river.
As the wet soil was turned over piece by piece, the strong smell of blood and rot was mixed with the smell of the stinky ditch, permeating this open place.
Some young people who are new to the industry can't bear it anymore, and cover their mouths and vomit in the trash can.
But no one blamed them.
Everyone frowned, their expressions were dignified, and their hearts were even heavier.
The missing girls were found, but they had already turned into corpses that had been dead for a long time.
From the uncorrupted parts, it can be seen that they were all in their prime when they were alive, but they ended up in this unknown wilderness because of a metamorphosis.
According to the clues given by the man, this is the crime scene after he kidnapped those girls.
This is not a remote suburb, but it is close to the city center.
It's just different from the emerging business district. This area is the old city of K City. Most of the houses are old-style bungalows, with several big river tributaries passing through them.
Originally, this area was also listed as an urban renovation area, but because of too many protests from the elderly, and in order to protect the ancient appearance of the building, the renovation plan was abandoned.
Most of the people living here are old people, and there are some accompanying student families. They either have bad eyesight or are indifferent to the outside world, so no one notices anything strange in the neighborhood.
The man has a property in this area, which is an old house left by his grandparents. Because it is backed by a river, the river is narrow and seldom flows. Most of the old people in the vicinity were picked up by their children, so his family was the only one left around the river.
This has become a natural crime scene.
Fortunately in misfortune, apart from the body buried on the river bank, the girl who just disappeared more than half a month ago still has a trace of breath.
The girl locked in a wooden cage was ragged and covered in blood, and her hair was clotted with blood, sticking to her face and neck.
The girl was so thin that she was almost out of shape, if not for the slight trembling of her eyelashes, almost everyone would have thought she was dead.
The police who came in first shot and broke the chains that locked the girl's neck, and then asked their colleagues to call an ambulance.
They said hello earlier, and the ambulance came quickly, and when the girl was dragged away by the ambulance, the man who was caught fell to his knees.
But the man's performance was not regretting that he had killed those girls, but he kept muttering that he should kill that girl before going out.
Hearing the man's words, everyone present frowned, and even rushed forward impulsively, wishing to beat him up.
The experienced people around hurriedly stopped him, and only gave a few warnings. Obviously, most of them had the same idea as him.
When the appraisal colleagues arrived at the scene and the man was taken away, the scene was restored to stability.
Han Lin said hello to his colleagues, walked up to Jiang Yueli, looked at her expression, and couldn't figure out what emotion was expressed on that paralyzed face, so he could only ask directly.
"Still thinking about Mingxuan?" Han Lin sighed, "Even if we watched the confession scene, there is no need to be so shy. If you just ran away, she should be very embarrassed."
"That person probably killed more than the people on the missing list." Jiang Yueli followed suit, "During the interrogation, we will dig deeper into his family relationship, and at least his relationship with girls since junior high school."
Han Lin was stunned for a while before realizing what Jiang Yueli was talking about.
"When he was a child, his mother ran away with others. His first love from junior high school to high school was the same, the school belle of their school. Later, the school belle found out that she liked the same sex more. She broke up with him before graduating from high school. Later, she dated several girlfriends. I investigated the activity records of that school belle - she has been missing for at least three years. That person's high school classmates know about the school belle, and you can ask his college classmates about the school belle, the dessert at the gate of K. The owner of the store is, and the school belle is also from K University."
Jiang Yueli paused, raised her head from the phone, and glanced at Han Lin: "It's not convenient for me to hand over those things to you directly, so you should work harder to investigate by yourself. But don't be led away , This person is a little mentally abnormal."
"Why did you—" Han Lin reacted so quickly, "Jiang Feng?"
"Ah, probably?" Jiang Yueli tilted her head in disbelief, then changed the topic, and said, "I didn't refuse her, I just asked her to wait a little longer. It shouldn't be so fragile."
Han Lin couldn't keep up with Jiang Yueli's turning speed, and was almost thrown away by the question of another person who suddenly intervened.
He hadn't cooperated with Jiang Yueli for a long time, and for a while, he forgot the extremely fast brain circuit of the other party.
As an ordinary person, Han Lin couldn't deal with two or even more problems in different fields in his mind at the same time like Jiang Yueli did.
One second he was still seriously discussing the content of the case, but the next second he returned to the previous relationship issue. Han Lin's mind was stuck, and it took him a long time to realize that what Jiang Yueli said in the second half of the sentence was Lu Mingxuan's. thing.
However, at this time Jiang Yueli jumped to another question: "I want to visit my brother in a few days, is that okay?"
This question is much clearer, Han Lin thought for a while, and replied: "It's hard to say, your words...you can apply and try."
"Okay." Jiang Yueli nodded, then put away his phone and waved to him, "Then I'll go first, you guys keep going."
The evidence and motives have been clearly thrown to Han Lin, and it will not be her turn to intervene in the subsequent investigation, so her work has come to an end.
Han Lin followed up a few steps: "I'll see you off. It's getting late, there may be no cars outside—"
When he reached the corner, Han Lin's words got stuck in his throat. He looked at the person who appeared here with some surprise: "Ming Xuan? Didn't you go back?"
Originally in that alley, Han Lin asked Lu Mingxuan for help. Apart from the convenience of cooperation between her and Jiang Yueli, he also hoped that they could take this opportunity to speak clearly.
Who knew that the time when the prisoner came was so coincidental that the two of them had already popped up before they even started talking.
It's just that he didn't know Lu Mingxuan's force value, so naturally he was easily subdued by someone who had been on guard for a long time.
The next thing should have been that the prisoner should be taken over by the person who should take over, and then the two NPCs in charge of acting and fishing should go back to their respective homes and find a secluded place to have a good chat about life-long events.
However, Lu Mingxuan was unexpectedly straightforward, knowing that there were still a group of people ambushing around, she immediately said something like a confession that should have been private.
But it is not that simple to make Jiang Yueli shy and compromise.
They looked at each other for a moment, and seemed to say something again, their expressions were very calm.
No one heard what Jiang Yueli was saying, but Lu Mingxuan's reaction was clearly discernible.
Lu Mingxuan took a step back and let go of her hand.
He thought Jiang Yueli rejected Lu Mingxuan face to face, so the latter stayed where he was, watching Jiang Yueli leave with the prisoner with a complicated expression.
until this moment-
According to the normal development track, although it is a pity, she really shouldn't have appeared here, and she still has such an attitude.
Lu Mingxuan leaned against the wall on the other side of the corner, twirling a bunch of keys in her hands. She didn't know how long she had been waiting, as if she was bored.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth when she looked up and saw the two people walking over one after another.
"I figured it out, can we go back now?"
Jiang Yueli also seemed a little surprised, but in the end he didn't say anything, but nodded: "Okay."
……
Lu Mingxuan didn't send Jiang Yueli back directly, but went to a well-known restaurant, reserved a private room, and had dinner first.
She wasn't sure if Jiang Yueli was still living in the original place, but it was never a wrong choice to invite her to dinner.
Jiang Yueli was silent the whole time, but she didn't show too much resistance.
Based on Lu Mingxuan's understanding of her during this period, the latter should be thinking about something at this time, and there is also some wavering mixed in.
After realizing this, Lu Mingxuan's mood suddenly became much clearer.
This is a good sign, at least it confirms what Hua Ye said, that Jiang Yueli's feelings for her are indeed different from ordinary people.
In the eyes of others, Jiang Yueli's label has always been synonymous with calm, steady, and precise, almost no different from a robot.
It is simply impossible for a robot to be shaken emotionally.
But Jiang Yueli showed her "human" side to Lu Mingxuan.
There are emotions, entanglement and hesitation, and "wavering".
Time went back to when they caught the prisoner in the morning, Lu Mingxuan asked Jiang Yueli if he could chase her.
Jiang Yueli replied without hesitation: "No."
But she avoided Lu Mingxuan's gaze.
Unlike Jiang Yueli who was defenseless, Lu Mingxuan had already anticipated this outcome.
She firmly grasped Jiang Yueli's hand, and responded with the same soft voice: "Is it so difficult to admit that you like me?"
Jiang Yueli paused, subconsciously clenched her hand, but forgot that her hand was still in Lu Mingxuan's.
In Lu Mingxuan's eyes, this kind of reaction was clear evidence.
"right--"
"Don't rush back to me, I know you still have work to do." Lu Mingxuan interrupted Jiang Yue the moment she left her mouth, "I don't want to disturb you, I'll think about it, and we'll talk again when you come back. .”
Jiang Yueli was slightly startled, and looked up at Lu Mingxuan, as if she didn't understand how the person who was holding on to her so tightly just now suddenly changed his mind, not only let go of his hand, but also took a step back.
What she didn't know was that her reaction was already the best response for Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Mingxuan knew very well that under such circumstances, there would be no other possibility for her to receive a response other than rejection.
Maybe even Jiang Yueli didn't realize that whenever she was concentrating on something, she was incredibly calm, just like other people commented on her, she was as rational as a robot.
But emotional matters cannot be completely controlled by reason, otherwise there would not even be the word "love" in this world.
Back to the present, Lu Mingxuan brought Jiang Yueli to dinner.
After the matter came to an end, Jiang Yueli's spirit relaxed a lot, and when he sat at the dining table, his whole body softened almost visibly to the naked eye.
The light in the private room is a warm bright|yellow|color, which looks like the color of the sun. It falls down and coats the whole room with a layer of soft light.
It seems to be an atmosphere where people can relax and talk about some private topics.
However, Lu Mingxuan didn't immediately continue the previous topic, but ordered food first.
Jiang Yueli has been tense for the past few days, and has not paid much attention to eating. When he relaxes, the hunger that has been hidden for a long time surges up.
She vaguely realized that this meal was a trap carefully prepared by the hunter, waiting for her, an unconscious rabbit, to step in by herself.
However, when she hesitated for a moment and failed to completely reject Lu Mingxuan, she should have understood that she had already stepped into a trap.
Can't climb out anymore.
Jiang Yueli ate quietly and quickly, and when the meal was almost over, Lu Mingxuan got to the point.
"Hua Ye is back." Lu Mingxuan started here first, "I picked him up at the airport some time ago and talked about some past events. He mentioned you, you are his sister, right?"
This explained why Lu Mingxuan changed her attitude and was still so firm and persistent.
For Jiang Yueli, Hua Ye's cousin's position has been nailed to the label of "pig teammate" all year round, and he has almost never been down.
With the current situation, she really shouldn't feel any more surprises.
Jiang Yueli's cheeks were bulging, and she swallowed the food in her mouth, before she raised her head and glanced at Lu Mingxuan: "Mr. Lu, are you planning to check your household registration?"
Lu Mingxuan nodded without hesitation: "I have such an idea. I want to know more about you."
"Only you know everything about me, but I only know you for such a short time. It seems a bit unfair." Lu Mingxuan continued, "Besides, people are subject to change. If you secretly look at me, it's better to be upright. A closer look? I wouldn't mind."
Very good, it seems that Hua Ye has sold her out.
Jiang Yueli lowered her eyelids, and made another secret note to Hua Ye in her heart.
Lu Mingxuan's meaning couldn't be more obvious. She knew that Jiang Yueli had paid attention to her for so many years, but she didn't turn her face because of it. Instead, she secretly persuaded her to stay.
Obviously, she has fully understood the purpose of Jiang Yueli's original intention of "guarding", and she understands it.
Or, as she herself said, she really fell in love with Jiang Yueli, so even if the other party's impolite behavior fell into her eyes, it became a caring act.
——If it's the latter, it seems to sound a little more terrifying.
Jiang Yueli would rather Lu Mingxuan think that she was a cold-hearted person, with cold scum in her bones, and there was absolutely no possibility of heat, so that the other party would be disheartened, and naturally she would let go of her obsession with her.
Only with persistent emotions chasing after her, it doesn't take too long to defeat her.
Maybe she should leave City K when the incident is over, apply for transfer to another province, or just run away or something, otherwise she wouldn't have to endure the torment of entanglement and hesitation at this moment.
Jiang Yueli also had to admit that Lu Mingxuan's words hit the nail on the head—
Even if she could really break up with Lu Mingxuan so that the other party would no longer have any attention and intersection with her, it would only be a unilateral severance.
Even though her rationality told her that she shouldn't monitor Lu Mingxuan anymore, she knew very well that if that was the result, she finally felt that she couldn't help but pay attention to Lu Mingxuan again.
Participating in her life in another way no one knows, through a camera, or whatever.
Just like it has been for so many years.
It was never that Lu Mingxuan couldn't do without Jiang Yueli, but that Jiang Yueli couldn't completely separate Lu Mingxuan from her life.
Lu Mingxuan and Jiang Yue had only known each other for two months. No matter how obsessed she was at the moment, if they really separated, the time would be enough to heal her wounds, but it was only a matter of time.
But Jiang Yueli was different.
She has been looking at Lu Mingxuan since she was ten years old. At first, she was simply worried, but after more than ten years of persistence and persistence, she has evolved into some kind of habit and obsession.
It has been integrated with her soul, and it is difficult to separate.
At first she took this path because of the tragedy of Lu Mingxuan's parents, and then she persisted because of Lu Mingxuan.
The three words Lu Mingxuan had been engraved into her bone marrow, it was a part of her soul, as if looking at each other was a matter of course and necessary.
This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Yueli never had the confidence to confront Lu Mingxuan head-on.
She never even dared to think deeply, but mechanically regarded those concerns as ordinary habits in life.
By the time she realized it, it was too late to escape from the swamp.
Lu Mingxuan might not know the details of the inside story, but she undoubtedly grasped the most crucial part.
Aware of Jiang Yueli's hesitation, Lu Mingxuan reached out to hold her hand, and continued her efforts.
"I like you, and I'm willing to tell everyone about it, so what about you?"
Lu Mingxuan caressed Jiang Yueli's side face, and looked at her, her eyes were so focused that only her figure was reflected.
"Look into my eyes, and I'll ask you again, is it that embarrassing to admit that you like me?"
Jiang Yueli subconsciously retorted: "It's not that I feel ashamed."
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yueli couldn't help but want to cover her face.
Isn't this an admission in disguise that she really likes Lu Mingxuan?
Lu Mingxuan obviously knew it very well, and immediately frowned and laughed, her whole body softened several degrees under the light.
"Well, I don't think so either." Lu Mingxuan slowed down her voice, "So, what are you afraid of? Is your company not allowed to fall in love?"
Jiang Yueli pursed her lips tightly, the light above her head dazzled her a little, but she was indeed gradually softening visibly to the naked eye.
After a while, Jiang Yueli sighed lightly: "...That's not true."
In this confrontation, she had already lost completely, but she just struggled for a while for the sake of face.
If she could really ruthlessly reject Lu Mingxuan, it would be impossible for her to appear here.
Lu Mingxuan is also very aware of this, so since entering this room, she has been very relaxed, and all the anxiety and impatience in the past have disappeared without a trace.
It was as if the moment she stepped in, she was sure that she had the chance to win.
that's the truth.
Lu Mingxuan supported her chin with another hand, and continued with her own logic: "Since no one is stopping you from falling in love, and you like me and I like you, why can't we be together?"
"If you are worried about the future, say something unlucky, maybe I will be bumped when I go out—"
"Because you asked if you can chase me." Jiang Yueli interrupted Lu Mingxuan, "I don't want to see you gone before I change my mind, so...some things, let's say less."
Lu Mingxuan froze for a moment, then put on a smiling face again, her tone could almost be called gentle: "Okay."
……
After eating and leaving the restaurant, Lu Mingxuan followed Jiang Yueli's instructions to send her home.
Jiang Yueli changed his residence and hid in an old-fashioned residential area in the downtown area. It was not very far from where Lu Mingxuan lived, but the direction of work was in the opposite direction. Basically, as long as there were no accidents, it would be difficult for them to bump into each other on the road.
Obviously, this is also the result of Jiang Yueli's careful calculation and selection.
But at this moment, all the calculations had come to naught, Lu Mingxuan parked the car downstairs of Jiang Yueli's house, the latter got out of the car, and was about to say goodbye to her, but when he turned his head, there was no one there.
Just in confusion, a bunch of bright red roses appeared in Jiang Yueli's field of vision.
Jiang Yueli took a step back subconsciously, looking at the bouquet that had begun to become limp, trying not to show any disgust.
She raised her head expressionlessly, and looked at Lu Mingxuan's smiling face: "...This is?"
Lu Mingxuan replied as a matter of course: "Chasing you. Don't the books say that chasing people starts with sending flowers?"
Jiang Yueli: "..."
Perhaps it was because Jiang Yueli's disgust was too obvious, Lu Mingxuan also reacted, and looked dazed: "Ah, I put it in the trunk before, and accidentally left it for too long."
With that said, Lu Mingxuan picked up her phone again: "Hey, give me a bouquet of flowers, roses, red ones, nine—"
Seeing that Lu Mingxuan was going to ask someone to send a new bouquet of flowers again, the corners of Jiang Yueli's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and she reached out and hugged the bouquet of flowers.
"This is also fine, I have no place to put it at home." Jiang Yueli stopped, "Just treat it as I received it, and you can go back."
Lu Mingxuan hung up the phone and grabbed Jiang Yueli's wrist.
Jiang Yueli stopped in her tracks: "Is there anything else?"
"It's nothing, just..." Lu Mingxuan turned sideways, passed over the bouquet in the middle, and quickly kissed Jiang Yueli's lips, "Let's charge some interest first."
"..."
Jiang Yueli's ears were slightly red, she turned her head, covered her mouth and took a step back.
Lu Mingxuan was very satisfied with her reaction, and did not press her any further.
They knew each other well about the current state and said they were chasing someone again, but Jiang Yueli had already let her guard down.
All it takes is an opportunity, but otherwise, Jiang Yueli will not reject her again.
And this process was originally what she owed Jiang Yueli.
Lu Mingxuan watched Jiang Yueli turn and go upstairs with a smile, wanting to wait until she got home before leaving.
But Jiang Yueli stopped suddenly when she reached the first flight of stairs. She turned sideways and looked at Lu Mingxuan below, as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Are you free on New Year's Eve?"
"As long as you are here, of course you are free."
Jiang Yueli also laughed, but the smile was so fleeting that Lu Mingxuan almost thought it was her eyes that were dazzled.
"Then let's spend this year together."
"it is good."
——End of text——
Jiang Yueli leaned against the tree trunk, lowered her head to send text messages on her mobile phone, and glanced at the busy people around her from the corner of her eye.
The police in plain clothes called the colleagues in charge of identification, while digging for clues on the bank of the river.

However, when she hesitated for a moment and failed to completely reject Lu Mingxuan, she should have understood that she had already stepped into a trap.
Can't climb out anymore.
Jiang Yueli ate quietly and quickly, and when the meal was almost over, Lu Mingxuan got to the point.
"Hua Ye is back." Lu Mingxuan started here first, "I picked him up at the airport some time ago and talked about some past events. He mentioned you, you are his sister, right?"
This explained why Lu Mingxuan changed her attitude and was still so firm and persistent.
For Jiang Yueli, Hua Ye's cousin's position has been nailed to the label of "pig teammate" all year round, and he has almost never been down.
With the current situation, she really shouldn't feel any more surprises.
Jiang Yueli's cheeks were bulging, and she swallowed the food in her mouth, before she raised her head and glanced at Lu Mingxuan: "Mr. Lu, are you planning to check your household registration?"
Lu Mingxuan nodded without hesitation: "I have such an idea. I want to know more about you."
"Only you know everything about me, but I only know you for such a short time. It seems a bit unfair." Lu Mingxuan continued, "Besides, people are subject to change. If you secretly look at me, it's better to be upright. A closer look? I wouldn't mind."
Very good, it seems that Hua Ye has sold her out.
Jiang Yueli lowered her eyelids, and made another secret note to Hua Ye in her heart.
Lu Mingxuan's meaning couldn't be more obvious. She knew that Jiang Yueli had paid attention to her for so many years, but she didn't turn her face because of it. Instead, she secretly persuaded her to stay.
Obviously, she has fully understood the purpose of Jiang Yueli's original intention of "guarding", and she understands it.
Or, as she herself said, she really fell in love with Jiang Yueli, so even if the other party's impolite behavior fell into her eyes, it became a caring act.
——If it's the latter, it seems to sound a little more terrifying.
Jiang Yueli would rather Lu Mingxuan think that she was a cold-hearted person, with cold scum in her bones, and there was absolutely no possibility of heat, so that the other party would be disheartened, and naturally she would let go of her obsession with her.
Only with persistent emotions chasing after her, it doesn't take too long to defeat her.
Maybe she should leave City K when the incident is over, apply for transfer to another province, or just run away or something, otherwise she wouldn't have to endure the torment of entanglement and hesitation at this moment.
Jiang Yueli also had to admit that Lu Mingxuan's words hit the nail on the head—
Even if she could really break up with Lu Mingxuan so that the other party would no longer have any attention and intersection with her, it would only be a unilateral severance.
Even though her rationality told her that she shouldn't monitor Lu Mingxuan anymore, she knew very well that if that was the result, she finally felt that she couldn't help but pay attention to Lu Mingxuan again.
Participating in her life in another way no one knows, through a camera, or whatever.
Just like it has been for so many years.
It was never that Lu Mingxuan couldn't do without Jiang Yueli, but that Jiang Yueli couldn't completely separate Lu Mingxuan from her life.
Lu Mingxuan and Jiang Yue had only known each other for two months. No matter how obsessed she was at the moment, if they really separated, the time would be enough to heal her wounds, but it was only a matter of time.
But Jiang Yueli was different.
She has been looking at Lu Mingxuan since she was ten years old. At first, she was simply worried, but after more than ten years of persistence and persistence, she has evolved into some kind of habit and obsession.
It has been integrated with her soul, and it is difficult to separate.
At first she took this path because of the tragedy of Lu Mingxuan's parents, and then she persisted because of Lu Mingxuan.
The three words Lu Mingxuan had been engraved into her bone marrow, it was a part of her soul, as if looking at each other was a matter of course and necessary.
This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Yueli never had the confidence to confront Lu Mingxuan head-on.
She never even dared to think deeply, but mechanically regarded those concerns as ordinary habits in life.
By the time she realized it, it was too late to escape from the swamp.
Lu Mingxuan might not know the details of the inside story, but she undoubtedly grasped the most crucial part.
Aware of Jiang Yueli's hesitation, Lu Mingxuan reached out to hold her hand, and continued her efforts.
"I like you, and I'm willing to tell everyone about it, so what about you?"
Lu Mingxuan caressed Jiang Yueli's side face, and looked at her, her eyes were so focused that only her figure was reflected.
"Look into my eyes, and I'll ask you again, is it that embarrassing to admit that you like me?"
Jiang Yueli subconsciously retorted: "It's not that I feel ashamed."
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yueli couldn't help but want to cover her face.
Isn't this an admission in disguise that she really likes Lu Mingxuan?
Lu Mingxuan obviously knew it very well, and immediately frowned and laughed, her whole body softened several degrees under the light.
"Well, I don't think so either." Lu Mingxuan slowed down her voice, "So, what are you afraid of? Is your company not allowed to fall in love?"
Jiang Yueli pursed her lips tightly, the light above her head dazzled her a little, but she was indeed gradually softening visibly to the naked eye.
After a while, Jiang Yueli sighed lightly: "...That's not true."
In this confrontation, she had already lost completely, but she just struggled for a while for the sake of face.
If she could really ruthlessly reject Lu Mingxuan, it would be impossible for her to appear here.
Lu Mingxuan is also very aware of this, so since entering this room, she has been very relaxed, and all the anxiety and impatience in the past have disappeared without a trace.
It was as if the moment she stepped in, she was sure that she had the chance to win.
that's the truth.
Lu Mingxuan supported her chin with another hand, and continued with her own logic: "Since no one is stopping you from falling in love, and you like me and I like you, why can't we be together?"
"If you are worried about the future, say something unlucky, maybe I will be bumped when I go out—"
"Because you asked if you can chase me." Jiang Yueli interrupted Lu Mingxuan, "I don't want to see you gone before I change my mind, so...some things, let's say less."
Lu Mingxuan froze for a moment, then put on a smiling face again, her tone could almost be called gentle: "Okay."
……
After eating and leaving the restaurant, Lu Mingxuan followed Jiang Yueli's instructions to send her home.
Jiang Yueli changed his residence and hid in an old-fashioned residential area in the downtown area. It was not very far from where Lu Mingxuan lived, but the direction of work was in the opposite direction. Basically, as long as there were no accidents, it would be difficult for them to bump into each other on the road.
Obviously, this is also the result of Jiang Yueli's careful calculation and selection.
But at this moment, all the calculations had come to naught, Lu Mingxuan parked the car downstairs of Jiang Yueli's house, the latter got out of the car, and was about to say goodbye to her, but when he turned his head, there was no one there.
Just in confusion, a bunch of bright red roses appeared in Jiang Yueli's field of vision.
Jiang Yueli took a step back subconsciously, looking at the bouquet that had begun to become limp, trying not to show any disgust.
She raised her head expressionlessly, and looked at Lu Mingxuan's smiling face: "...This is?"
Lu Mingxuan replied as a matter of course: "Chasing you. Don't the books say that chasing people starts with sending flowers?"
Jiang Yueli: "..."
Perhaps it was because Jiang Yueli's disgust was too obvious, Lu Mingxuan also reacted, and looked dazed: "Ah, I put it in the trunk before, and accidentally left it for too long."
With that said, Lu Mingxuan picked up her phone again: "Hey, give me a bouquet of flowers, roses, red ones, nine—"
Seeing that Lu Mingxuan was going to ask someone to send a new bouquet of flowers again, the corners of Jiang Yueli's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and she reached out and hugged the bouquet of flowers.
"This is also fine, I have no place to put it at home." Jiang Yueli stopped, "Just treat it as I received it, and you can go back."
Lu Mingxuan hung up the phone and grabbed Jiang Yueli's wrist.
Jiang Yueli stopped in her tracks: "Is there anything else?"
"It's nothing, just..." Lu Mingxuan turned sideways, passed over the bouquet in the middle, and quickly kissed Jiang Yueli's lips, "Let's charge some interest first."
"..."
Jiang Yueli's ears were slightly red, she turned her head, covered her mouth and took a step back.
Lu Mingxuan was very satisfied with her reaction, and did not press her any further.
They knew each other well about the current state and said they were chasing someone again, but Jiang Yueli had already let her guard down.
All it takes is an opportunity, but otherwise, Jiang Yueli will not reject her again.
And this process was originally what she owed Jiang Yueli.
Lu Mingxuan watched Jiang Yueli turn and go upstairs with a smile, wanting to wait until she got home before leaving.
But Jiang Yueli stopped suddenly when she reached the first flight of stairs. She turned sideways and looked at Lu Mingxuan below, as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Are you free on New Year's Eve?"
"As long as you are here, of course you are free."
Jiang Yueli also laughed, but the smile was so fleeting that Lu Mingxuan almost thought it was her eyes that were dazzled.
"Then let's spend this year together."
"it is good."
