Driving the car, Francis and Zhang Bin were sent to the cafe together.
Zhou Zhen was on the verge of tears. He didn't understand why all the bad things happened to him.
It's just that now that Gu Yuan has sent everyone here, he has to accept it. He can only watch the two young people go back to sleep, while he waits for others to come and take these two people away.
Sitting on a chair in the cafe, Zhou Zhen rummaged through the cabinets for a long time and finally found a box of tea leaves, brewed a cup of strong tea, braced himself and waited.
I don’t know how long it took.
Two cars stopped in front of the cafe.
Zhou Zhen raised his wrist and glanced at the hands on his watch.
It's already half past five in the morning.
"Damn it..." Zhou Zhen cursed.
…
As a member of the Demon Suppression Division, there is no annual leave.
After not even staying at home for two days, Gu Yuan came to the cafe again and started working.
Let alone him, even the second uncle, as a police officer, does not have a complete vacation.
After all, those monsters don't think they should just stay at home during the Chinese New Year.
Ten o'clock in the evening.
Gu Yuan made a cup of tea and looked at the snowy scene outside.
It was quite warm in the cafe.
Just when Gu Yuan felt bored, the door of the cafe was pushed open from the outside.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yuan looked at Wei Xuanyi and said with a smile.
Wei Xuanyi was wearing a long dark blue coat. When he walked into the cafe, he took off his coat and hung it on the shelf at the door.
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll be bored alone?" Wei Xuanyi put the bag in his hand on the table in front of Gu Yuan.
"What's this?"
"Bought from takeaway, some BBQ, and coffee."
Gu Yuan was amused: "This is a cafe, and you're still buying coffee outside? Is that ridiculous?"
Wei Xuanyi shrugged his shoulders: "If Luo Yin was here, I wouldn't have to buy it from outside. Not to mention, in recent times, Luo Yin's level has been getting higher and higher. The coffee tastes very good. I like it." Already in love.”
Wei Xuanyi didn't have a hobby of drinking coffee before. On the one hand, it was because girls love beauty and were worried about their teeth turning black. On the other hand, it was also the first time he tried it and he ordered a cup of iced Americano, which left a lot of psychological problems for the child. shadow.
But recently, after being force-fed two cups of coffee by Luo Yin, Wei Xuanyi gradually fell in love with this feeling.
When hearing Wei Xuanyi's praise for Luo Yin, Gu Yuan wondered: "Isn't it because she is making coffee now using the coffee beans brought by Kong Baihe?"
"Aren't all coffee beans the same? Will it have a big impact?" Wei Xuanyi asked doubtfully.
Gu Yuan is not an expert in this regard, so he really doesn't know how to answer this question. He can only ask Wei Xuanyi to wait until Kong Baihe comes tomorrow to ask questions and add some useless knowledge points.
At this moment, Wei Xuanyi stood up and turned off the big lights in the cafe, leaving only two small lights.
Sitting in front of the glass window, holding a hot cup of coffee in my hand, watching the people coming and going outside, it seemed that the whole world had become quiet.
Warm light fell from the top of his head, as if coating his whole body with an orange border. Wei Xuanyi stretched out his hand to straighten his off-white turtleneck sweater, rubbed his hands gently, and sat on a high stool. The feet in black leather boots swayed slightly.
"Are you homesick?" Gu Yuan looked at her and asked suddenly.
"Ah?" Wei Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and nodded, "Actually, I still have some thoughts. This year will not be the Chinese New Year. My grandfather was so angry that he gave Wei Jian a deep beating."
"???" Gu Yuan failed to keep up with Wei Xuanyi's rhythm.
"I told my grandfather that the reason why I won't go back is because Wei Jianshen detained me last time." Wei Xuanyi continued.
Gu Yuan suddenly realized it, with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
Wei Jianshen was also unlucky, and his little cotton-padded jacket leaked like this.
"Actually, I've always been curious about why you and your dad..." Gu Yuan didn't finish his words. Anyway, he understood everything at this point.
Wei Xuanyi supported his chin on his elbow and looked outside through the glass. Pieces of snowflakes were falling under the street lamp, like white petals.
"Because of my mother."
"ah?"
Wei Xuanyi was suddenly in a trance.
"Well... let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Yuan said softly.
It can be seen from Wei Xuanyi's expression that this is a somewhat heavy topic and it is also a sad thing for her. In fact, Gu Yuan just asked casually and did not want to pry too much.
"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said." Wei Xuanyi said, "When my mother passed away, Wei Jianshen was still with other women."
"Huh?" Gu Yuan was really surprised.
He never thought that Wei Jianshen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could do such a thing.
"Isn't it a bit bloody?" Wei Xuanyi laughed and said, "For all these years, Wei Jianshen has never thought of giving me an explanation. Of course, I am too lazy to ask."
Gu Yuan's eyes slowly moved away from Wei Xuanyi's face, and he looked outside like her. He didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
"By the way, what about you? Do you miss your parents?" Wei Xuanyi asked.
"To be honest, I don't really think so." Gu Yuan said, "I don't have much memory of them in my mind. I don't even remember what they look like."
"Where are the photos?" Wei Xuanyi asked doubtfully, "Don't you have any photos of them at home?"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
"No, I thought it was strange before. Later, my second uncle said that my dad didn't like taking pictures, so there were no photos of them at home."
There was one more thing Gu Yuan didn't tell Wei Xuanyi.
When he learned that his parents were both from the Demon Suppression Division, he actually checked his parents' information. But what surprised him was that he could not find any information about his parents in the Demon Suppression Division's database. , let alone a complete archive.
Wei Xuanyi turned to look at the calm Gu Yuan and suddenly asked: "You and Xia Youzhi should have been together every New Year before, right?"
"Ah?" Gu Yuan's expression was a little unnatural, but he still nodded, "Well, and Fang Yu, the three of us would set off fireworks together, but gradually, we stopped."
"Because I've grown up? Mature?"
"That's not true. The main reason is that the city won't let them go."
Wei Xuanyi couldn't help but laugh.
"Xia Youzhi didn't come back this year. You must miss her very much, right?"
Gu Yuan's expression looked a little embarrassed.
"Gu Yuan."
"ah?"
"Do you miss Xiaoxia?"
Gu Yuan held the coffee cup in his hand and looked at her strangely, his expression even more unnatural.
If someone else asked him this question, he wouldn't feel anything.
But it happened to be Wei Xuanyi.
But this time, Gu Yuan did not remain silent, but gave his answer cleanly.
"Of course I do."
"That doesn't stop me from liking you." Wei Xuanyi suddenly laughed.
Gu Yuan's hand shook slightly.
