happy new year◇

For the New Year's Eve dinner, he ordered a golden soup with sea cucumber, millet porridge and candied sweet potatoes.

Jiang Xiu woke up at Ji's house.

The restaurant on New Year’s Eve was extremely busy. Ji Shunping was walking around like a spinning top in his own restaurant, and finally served all the dishes separately. Just as he was about to catch his breath, a table of guests who had just left came back and said that there was snow outside the door. A person is lying on the ground.On days like this, most of them eat nearby, and when they get too drunk, they go out for a stroll to let off the smell of alcohol, and they accidentally fall drunk to the ground.There is only Ji's restaurant nearby, and it's freezing cold, so if you lie down like this for a long time, you might die.

So they turned back and asked Ji Shunping to go out to see if they could remind the guests who were still eating in the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, this matter had nothing to do with the people eating in the restaurant, Ji Shunping recognized Jiang Xiu at a glance.He quickly helped him back home, with the warm wind blowing and the hot water bottle covering him, it took a while for Jiang Xiu to feel a little warmth.

Aunt Ji was still awake, walking around on crutches, and saw Jiang Xiu being helped into the backyard, so she stood guard at the door and looked around.

Both Song Jin and Jiang Zhiheng had career ambitions. When Jiang Xiu was young, the two of them were full of energy and were often so busy that they couldn't see anyone for a few days. Aunt Ji was the one who took care of Jiang Xiu at that time.

It can be said that Jiang Xiu was brought up by Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji stood at the door and felt angry when she saw Ji Shunping clumsily put a veil on Jiang Xiu's forehead.After standing for a while, Aunt Ji finally couldn't stand it any longer. She tried to drive Ji Shunping away with a cane, and wanted to do it herself, muttering: "Xiaoxiu is weak, and he can't be careless about any illness. Waiting for you to slow down and make the illness worse." What should I do?"

Time changes, ages go by, Aunt Ji has forgotten many people and things, but when she sees Jiang Xiu, she still cares and loves Jiang Xiu carefully, just like she cared for a soft and helpless baby many years ago.

And this kind of love, for Jiang Xiu, has not been seen for many years.

When Jiang Xiu woke up, the temperature had not subsided.In a daze, he thought of the figure he saw in the snow, and felt the chill on his back worsen. He struggled to sit up, enduring the throbbing pain in his forehead, and pulled Ji Shunping and asked, "Brother Shunping, Has anyone come to pick up the meal tonight?"

There are more meals delivered on New Year's Eve than usual.Even though today's young people don't like to cook their own New Year's Eve dinner for convenience, some old-fashioned people still don't like to have reunion dinner in restaurants.

Therefore, on New Year's Eve, many people ordered meals in advance and came to pick them up by themselves. Since the afternoon, customers have come to pick up the meals one after another.

Since Aunt Ji and Uncle Ji left the Song family and opened this restaurant, although Jiang Xiu tried his best to take care of the business, he never cared about the management.Ji Shunping didn't know why Jiang Xiu suddenly became concerned about today's business, so he only answered him: "Yes, today is Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of people who have ordered meals and come to pick them up by themselves."

"Is there someone who still comes at night?"

When asked about such a specific place, Ji Shunping immediately responded: "There is an order that was delayed until six or seven o'clock this afternoon, and I will pick it up when it is ready. I am very busy on New Year's Eve, and I didn't want to I took this kind of temporary order, but the price offered by the other party is really high, and the dishes are often ordered by customers, so I took the order without much trouble."

"I'll give you a picture, and you can see if this is the person who came to pick up the meal tonight."

Jiang Xiu lay in the snow for an unknown amount of time, his coat was soaked in a layer of ice and snow, and after being picked up by Ji Shunping home, the coat had already been taken off and put on the heater to dry.Seeing that he was looking for a mobile phone, Ji Shunping hurriedly took out the mobile phone that had been taken out of his coat and put it aside, and reminded him: "It seems that there are still a few unread messages."

During the New Year holidays, I always receive some New Year greeting messages.

Jiang Xiu took the phone and was not in a hurry to open the messages. Instead, he opened an encrypted network disk, picked out a picture from a folder and enlarged it, and pointed to the person who came to the door to show it to Ji Shunping: "Look, Is it this person?"

There are two people in the photo on the phone screen, one of them, Ji Shunping, is the boy surnamed Fang that Jiang Xiu brought back last time, but the photo looks like it was taken a few years ago, and Fang Yunwan in the photo is still in good spirits The flying boy, sitting in the sun, has a layer of fluffy hair, and a bright smile, which is quite different from the slightly gloomy appearance when he came with Jiang Xiu last time.

And the person beside Fang Yunwan was not Jiang Xiu, but a young man in a white shirt, who looked a few years older than Jiang Xiu, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking mature, stable and gentle.He sat side by side with Fang Yunwan on the bench in the garden, the two were very close, almost shoulder to shoulder, his eyes fell on Fang Yunwan, and Fang Yunwan's eyes fell on his own hands On a page of paper, it seems that he is reading the words on the paper.

The person Jiang Xiu wanted Ji Shunping to recognize was the person looking at Fang Yunwan in the photo.

Ji Shunping stared at the person in the photo for a while, feeling a little uncertain: "That person blocked himself completely, so I'm not sure. But the person who came to pick up the meal had a bad temper, but the person in the photo It looks very elegant, like a scholar, are you mistaken?"

"Think about it carefully." Jiang Xiu pulled a corner of Ji Shunping's sleeve, like a drowning man tightly grasping a piece of driftwood.

His face was pale, and his eyes were black and bright, as if he had put all his strength in them: "Or, you can tune the monitor to see."

Ji Shunping nodded in agreement, went to fetch the laptop, and called up the video recorded by the monitor.But I don't know if it was a coincidence or deliberate, during the four or five minutes that the person who came to pick up the meal entered and exited the Ji's courtyard, no monitor actually captured his face, except for his walking posture, which made Jiang Xiu feel familiar, there was nothing else. Direct evidence points to his identity.

"Did he say what his name was when he ordered?"

Ji Shunping called up the ordering system, and in the ordering records, the name of the person ordering the paper order was Tanuki.

Ji Shunping was helpless: "The order is often like this now. Except for regular customers, basically no one will order with their real name. Mr. Jiang, who is this person you are looking for?"

"His name is Bai Ming, and he is me, a friend who has not been in touch with me for a long time." Jiang Xiu explained and asked Ji Shunping, "I want to copy these videos, is it convenient?"

"No problem, give me an email address, I will download it now and send it to your email."

While talking, Ji Shunping took over the computer and sat aside to start processing the video.Jiang Xiu waited for nothing to do, and clicked on the new news notification on the mobile phone communication software. It was a series of New Year greetings that were nothing new. He clicked one by one without interest. He stopped, and suddenly sat up straight.

On the phone screen, there was a red dot next to Fang Yunwan's avatar indicating that there were unread messages.

Jiang Xiu will clear up unread messages in a timely manner, and has never had the habit of ignoring these reminders together.Therefore, this wave of unread messages on WeChat was received during the time when he was asleep——

In other words, Fang Yunwan sent him a message during the two hours or so that he was asleep!

Jiang Xiu felt his heartbeat suddenly quickened and his breathing became short of breath.

Tonight it was rare for Song Zheng to provoke him with undisguised words, but at first he was concerned and confused, and took Song Zheng's words seriously.But when the cold wind came to Ji's house, Jiang Xiu had already calmed down, and he guessed with [-] to [-]% certainty that Fang Yunwan was probably still alive.

This guess became a little more certain when he saw the person suspected to be Bai Ming.

Until now, he has received a message from Fang Yunwan!

Jiang Xiu's fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he slid cautiously across the phone screen. The moment he clicked on the message, he almost held his breath.

The chat background between him and Fang Yunwan was set by Fang Yunwan as a group photo of the two of them. After Fang Yunwan's accident, Jiang Xiu didn't even dare to click into the chat interface.

A small square showing the time the message was received floated at the bottom of the chat interface, between his and Fang Yunwan's clasped palms.

The time to receive the information is indeed tonight!

The words in the white dialog box are short, but the amount of information is huge——

"I'm Fang Yunwan. I'm fine. Don't worry. On New Year's Eve at about 9 o'clock on New Year's Eve, the van A66X21 at the entrance of Ji's Hotel called the police to track down this car. Also, be careful of Song Zheng and Bai Ming, and you must pay attention to your own safety. "

Jiang Xiu read it over and over several times, and felt that it was unreal like a dream.

The car that Fang Yunwan mentioned in the message was the one driven by the person suspected of being Bai Ming!

Bai Ming is still alive, and Fang Yunwan is still alive!

Under the emotional agitation, the distance between Jiang Xiu's chest rose and fell, and the familiar cramps reappeared amidst the out-of-the-ordinary scaling of his heart. With his palm resting on his beating heart, he asked Ji Shunping, "That man, what did you order?"

"Who?" Ji Shunping copied the video too seriously and asked without thinking.

Jiang Xiu clasped his palms tightly against his heart, grunted in pain, and tried his best to answer: "That, in the evening, the person who came to pick up the meal."

Hearing Jiang Xiu's weak voice, which was almost breathless, Ji Shunping felt that something was wrong. Looking up, he saw a strange bruise floating on Jiang Xiu's pale face, panting hard, as if he couldn't breathe, The sound is soft and urgent.Ji Shunping quickly put down the computer, supported Jiang Xiu's crumbling body, put a soft pillow behind him, helped him lean on it, and asked anxiously, "Where's your medicine?"

Jiang Xiu's thin chest twitched erratically, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat layer after layer due to the pain. He was speechless, and only glanced at the clothes drying on the heater.Ji Shunping understood, turned out the medicine bottle from inside, poured out the pills according to the dosage on it, and fed them to Jiang Xiu.

After taking the medicine, Jiang Xiu's condition gradually improved, but a seizure almost exhausted his remaining physical strength, and he fell weakly on the soft pillow like a doll whose lint had been sucked out. The rise and fall of the chest are so faint that they are almost invisible.

Ji Shunping was worried: "Should I call an ambulance? Or if you take it easy, I'll take you to the hospital."

Jiang Xiu shook his head and asked him persistently: "That man, what did you order?"

"It seems that there are not many orders, let me see." Ji Shunping couldn't resist him, so he could only open the ordering system again.

"I ordered sea cucumber and millet porridge in golden soup, candied sweet potato, sweet and sour fish and grilled chicken."

This is an extremely common dish, but when he heard the first two dish names, Jiang Xiu suddenly smiled.

Fang Yunwan is still alive!It's even possible that he was in the van that Jiang Xiu saw a few hours ago, from Yin and Yang separated, to passing each other, although they haven't been able to get together yet, as long as Fang Yunwan is still alive, there is still hope.

Just at this time, the collective countdown to the Spring Festival Gala came from someone's TV.

5——4——3——2——1——

Happy New Year!

In the distance, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers came from afar, and Jiang Xiu suddenly felt the warmth of a bustling fire at this moment, as if the ice and snow that had frozen him were shaken by fire and sound at this moment, fine cracks were shaken, and the ice was shattered After that, it may be the spring when the grass grows and the warbler flies.

He looked up at Ji Shunping who was standing by the bed with a worried face, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Shunping, happy new year."
