~~~~~ Nothing lasts forever in this evil world, and neither will our troubles. ~~~~~

"Xiong Ruoyi, your hands are broken and you still don't go home! Why did you tell your mother that you were injured!" Mom Xiong Ali's roar exploded in her ears, and she still spoke Chinese.Although my mother is of aboriginal descent, she can speak Chinese fluently.Just like my father said, when my mother chased him back then, she learned Chinese very diligently.

Morgan also heard Roy's mother's voice on the side, and he was taken aback. He thought that the female members of his family were the women with the loudest voices in the United States.

"Uh..., then I'll see if I can buy a ticket for tomorrow." Ruoyi was really annoyed, she finally made some progress, but was beaten by her mother.Could it be that God won't allow her to return to a normal life as she wished, even if she finds time to fall in love!

Morgan thinks that Roy's voice in Chinese is quite pleasant, much softer than that in English.Of course, it may also be because the object is a mother, not an ordinary person.

After listening to Ali Xiong rambling for more than ten minutes, the indiscriminate bombardment ended.Roy hung up the phone and apologized to Morgan a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, my mother is more talkative."

"It's okay, my mother likes it too." Morgan smiled and touched Roy's chin, and then he lifted his lips slightly.

Roy closed her eyes, savoring the kiss to the fullest.

But Morgan didn't kiss too deeply. After all, this is a park, not his home. "Are you going back to New York tomorrow?"

"Not tomorrow, but this afternoon." Roy sighed, "So Derek, you have to eat your own lunch."

"What time is the train?" Morgan looked at his watch, it was only 10:30.

"Hmm..." Ruoyi took out her mobile phone and started booking tickets, "It's three o'clock."

"I'll drive you to the train station, so we still have... three and a half hours to go to lunch." Morgan thought for a while, but now that Roy is still injured, he can't do strenuous exercise casually.

"Then we still have half an hour to think about what we should eat for this meal." Roy stood up, and she stretched out her right hand, pulling Morgan up from the chair.

"Hehe, it's up to you." Morgan doesn't care what he eats, whether it's bad or delicious, he probably won't forget this meal.

After picking and choosing, Ruoyi finally chose to eat fast food, "Burger King, it's everywhere, I guarantee you will be impressed."

"I used to love it." Morgan put his arm around Roy's shoulder carefully, not touching her injured arm.

"How long ago?" Roy asked curiously, tilting her head.

"Before the age of 25. When you get older, you need to control your intake of high-calorie foods." Morgan rubbed his stomach, and the outline of his abdominal muscles was very obvious and perfect.

"You're only in your early thirties, Derek. And..." Zoe shut her mouth before she could finish the sentence.

"And what?" Derek walked to the ordering counter and gave the waiter a charming smile, "Signature Whopper, two servings, one of which wants two meatloaf and two glasses of Diet Coke."

"You want two patties, why don't you drink Diet Coke? It's just ordinary Coke, add more ice. Then I need to add more pickles and tomatoes to my portion." Roy tapped lightly table, and told the waiter his request, "And the body fat of African Americans is easier to control than that of Caucasians."

"Oh, oh, my dear Roy, you haven't seen my mother and aunts." Morgan remembered her inappropriate joke when the two first met, but he still didn't mind, and instead called his mother pulled out.

"I bet they don't jog more than five kilometers every day like you do?" Roy took his coke and took a sip first.

"The words they say every day can be about five kilometers long." Morgan took the dinner plate, carried it to the seat by the window and sat down.

The two chatted and ate, and actually ate for more than two hours.But instead of talking about those depressing past events, they talked about interesting things in their respective families.

Roy knew that there was no difference between Morgan's mother and his own mother. He also had several aunts and sisters, one of whom had been missing for many years.

And Morgan knew that Roy was an out-and-out gangster before entering that private high school, and she was once praised as the leader of a small gang formed by students because she was so good at fighting.But because her mother was better at fighting, the gang disbanded after only one year.

She also has two older brothers who are also good at playing, one is now the head chef of her restaurant at home, and the other is a freelancer.These two brothers love her very much, and she has been self-willed all the way here, thanks to their material help and their mother's persuasion.

Time passed quickly, and Roy didn't feel that they had been here for two hours at all.She looked at her watch and could only ask Morgan to take her to the train station.

"When will you be back?" At the ticket gate, Morgan took Roy's hand and hugged her into his arms.

"I'll be back soon, but Derek, where will you be? You can't answer me now, can you?" Roy felt that his hand in the plaster was in the way, otherwise he would be able to hug him openly now. Morgan's waist down.

"Well, I lost." Morgan shook his head, just hoping not to work overtime on weekends.

The two reluctantly kissed goodbye, and as soon as they boarded the train, Roy called Swayze, "Lance, I need you to help me check Burns' current situation."

"Okay, there happened to be a doctor in that psychiatric hospital who was my classmate. Why do you need to reply?" Swayze hadn't contacted Roy for a while, and now she actually took the initiative to call, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"The sooner the better." Ruoyi felt a little uneasy, because after meeting Morgan, she wanted to become a normal person instead of choosing the path of death.But now that Burns' situation is unknown, she still can't enjoy this wonderful life [-]%.

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply." Swayze hung up the phone, and immediately rushed out of the Jefferson Association.

"What's the matter with Sweetie today?" Angela watched Swayze run out, and she had never seen him in such a hurry.

"Probably got an invitation from the girl you love." Daisy Wake blinked and began to guess, "Although Dr. Swayze looks like a good boy, but I think he is also in love. There should be a strong side. Isn't it exciting to watch people who are cute and sweet suddenly become violent?"

"No, Daisy, no." Angela shook her head and slowly avoided Daisy.The way they see men is so different that they have nothing in common.

Roy took the express train, so he got home before dinner.She didn't dare to be late, otherwise the mother's nagging would increase cubically.Looking at the red and green gate, Roy knew he was home.

"Ali, let's serve dinner!" Dad Xiong Tianping was very happy that his little daughter had returned home. He didn't even notice the plaster cast on Ruoyi's hand.

"Oh my god, what's the matter with your hand, why is it in plaster?" Ali Xiong yelled as soon as she saw Ruoyi's hand, "You went to see a western doctor, why didn't you take care of your uncle's business. His orthopedics is so good, what kind of plaster do you put on. Tomorrow, I will remove it and replace the splint, so I can guarantee that you will be able to shake the pot for half a month."

"Ali, stop talking and eat." Xiong Tianping asked Ruoyi to sit down, and stopped Xiong Ali's talk at the right time.

Roy's mother's original name was Alita, but she changed her surname to Chest after marrying her father.And her grandfather's English was not particularly good at the time, so A Li, A Li shouted.When Ruoyi heard this story, she almost burst into laughter. Such a beautiful name, but she just shouted out the local flavor.

"Ruoyi, complement your shape with your shape. Today I specially cook hoof soup for you." The eldest brother Xiong Ruoqi said while putting a piece of hoof, the one with toes, in Ruoyi's bowl.

"Oh, my sister is not married yet, so I can't eat here." The second brother Xiong Ruolin quickly stopped the bone and put it in his own bowl.

"You think of the old rules at this time, you want to eat it yourself!" Xiong Ali mercilessly exposed the lie of the second brother, and wanted to pick out the bone.

"Forget it, I'll eat some lotus root. It's too greasy for me to eat." Ruoyi quickly stopped the tug-of-war, because she didn't want to eat the meat caught by three people's chopsticks, even though the three people belonged to her family.

After eating and playing with her niece for a while, Roy went back to her room to rest.She went into her room and found that her mother had cleaned everything in it, but the bed had been made beforehand.

Ruoyi lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and rummaged through the cabinet, and found out her previous photo albums.But instead of looking at her photos from high school, she looked at photos from before the eighth grade.

She still had long hair back then, but it was tied up high like those teenagers in the movies.And there was exaggerated makeup on his face, and he was dressed in gaudy clothes.Now it seems that it is really funny.

At that time, the people who mixed with her were basically boys. They were children of various ethnic groups nearby, from all over the world, the whole United Nations.Although at the beginning they bullied her because she was Chinese, but later she beat her so much that she had to call her "boss".

Ruoyi smiled involuntarily when those past events sounded.But her cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting her memories of those absurd years.

Picking up the phone to check, it was Schweitzer, "Have you found it?"

"He's dead." Swayze said, but his tone was erratic, as if he didn't believe it himself.

"Dead? How is that possible?" Ruoyi frowned, feeling like she was dreaming.

"A rabies attack, it seems that he was bitten by a dog when he was a child." Swayze looked at the report and felt incredible.

Roy froze for a moment, and she suddenly thought back to the night she and Burns first dated.

"Do you know, I was bitten by a dog once." Burns and Roy walked by the lake, and the brilliance of the setting sun reflected on their faces through the lake, making them all look golden.

"You, how could you have been bitten by a dog!" Roy laughed, how could Burns, who looked like a prince, be bitten by a dog.No matter how he looked at it, he should have been bitten by a horse.

"I was very naughty when I was young. Once I went to a relative's house to play. They had several hounds. I let them out when the adults were not paying attention, and one of them bit my thigh. At that time, I was afraid that my mother would scold me. Didn't tell anyone." Burns pursed his thin lips, and then laughed.But in his mind is the picture of himself killing the hound himself, and he seems to be able to smell the stench of the internal organs.

"Then you haven't been vaccinated?" Ruoyi blinked and thought of a serious problem.

"That's right, so maybe I'll have a seizure and die one day." Burns shrugged and said sadly.

"No, Edward, don't say that." Joy wanted to say that the rich man's dog must have been vaccinated, and the chance of infection was very small.But seeing Burns' handsome face made her dizzy.

Burns lowered his head and leaned closer to her, and placed a light kiss on her lips, "If you don't let me say it, then I won't say it again."

Roy's cell phone rang again, and she woke up from the memories. She still didn't know if Burns had only told herself about it.But he had seen the scar on his thigh with his own eyes.

The name displayed on the phone was Morgan, and Roy breathed a sigh of relief before answering the call, "Hey, dear Mr. Chocolate, do you know how many calories I have taken in today?"

"It sounds like you are very happy. You didn't get scolded by your mother when you came home?" Morgan heard Roy's voice was very brisk, and guessed that she must have something good.But thinking about the two people just starting a relationship, it is worth being excited for a few days.

"No, and I heard good news just now." Roy sighed again, and said in a sad tone that he didn't expect, "The murderer who took up the case when I was in high school is dead."

"Oh, really?" Morgan was also a little surprised. Ruoyi only told him about it in the morning, but he didn't expect to hear the news of the death at night. "Are you preparing firecrackers now?"

"Yes, I am such a person who can distinguish between likes and hates." Ruoyi laughed, she would not set off firecrackers to celebrate.

"Haha, then I have to be careful in the future." Morgan joked.

"No, you don't need it, Derek." Roy's eyes suddenly darkened. She didn't tell Morgan that Burns, the murderer who took up the case, was her ex.
