Chapter 064 Crazy Tentacles-3

Jiang Yan's hand holding the phone froze.

The female voice on the other end of the phone asked politely, "Are you still listening?"

Jiang Yan's throat choked, and he immediately said, "I'm here. But - who are you?"

After a few seconds, the other party said, "I'm Meng Tang, Tang means candy."

Meng sugar?

What a familiar name.

Isn't this the name that has appeared several times in his dreams? Although it is a homonym.

"Do we... know each other?" Excluding dreams, Jiang Yan racked his brains to think about the memories of the world he is in now, kindergarten, elementary school, high school, university...

It seems that there is no person named Meng Tang.

Of course, it is also possible that he forgot.

Sure enough, the other party said: "We were classmates in elementary school. We used to sit at the same table. I..." At this point, the other party paused. Jiang Yan thought that the girl must have made herself shy. "I had a crush on you at that time."

Secret love?

Jiang Yan counted on his fingers. Even if he was really that charming back then, so many years have passed now.

But he really can't remember the names of his elementary school classmates.

"I know you might be confused, but when can we meet? I still want to talk to you in person."

Before Jiang Yan opened his mouth, he heard his colleagues snickering nearby. He looked up and saw Xiao Li winking at him and mouthing the words: Promise her.

"Is it not possible for me to just see you once? Brother Jiang Yan~" As if she was afraid of being rejected, the other party's momentum weakened all of a sudden. She was a gentle elder sister just now, but now she turned into a spoiled little girl. Her soft voice made Jiang Yan's heart soften.

It turns out that ginger and salt are very susceptible to soft tactics.

"Okay, please set a time and address."

The other party was not polite either, and his voice suddenly brightened, "Then let's meet at Qingshui Street in half an hour."

Qingshui Street?

Jiang Yan always felt like he had been cheated.

Because 80% of the recent missing persons cases are related to Qingshui Street.

Or when a couple is crossing the street, the man disappears from the surveillance camera in an instant. Or when parents take their children to a milk tea shop to drink milk tea, the child goes to the toilet and never comes back...

After confirmation, the above cases were finally classified as abnormal cases and handed over to the Monster Investigation Bureau where Jiang Yan worked. The results of the subsequent investigation also confirmed that it was the work of monsters.

Jiang Yan put back the phone that had been hung up, his expression a little complicated.

He somewhat suspected that this person named "Meng Tang" was a monster in disguise.

After all, since so many things happened, there are fewer and fewer people in Qingshui Street, and business is extremely bleak. Many merchants and residents have chosen to move away, except for a few who were forced to stay due to economic problems.

But Meng Tang seemed to be unaware of this and mentioned the place name casually.

"What's wrong? Your expression is so grumpy."

Xiao Li was puzzled. He scratched his chin. Didn't the caller ask Jiang Ge for a date? Then why did Jiang Ge look like he was in a haunted house?

"She asked me to meet her at Qingshui Street." Jiang Yan said helplessly.

"Qingshui Street? I remember there are a lot of monsters hiding in this place." Xiao Li said in surprise.

"I see." Zhang Keke put on an expression that showed she saw through everything, "You'd better not go. The person who called you might be a monster."

Jiang Yan thought for a while, and suddenly he touched the gun that had just been attached to his belt, and his brows relaxed at once.

"No, it's because she's a monster, so I have to go." Jiang Yan figured it out and said resolutely, "I don't know whether she's good or not, I'll go check it out."

"Wow, Brother Jiang, you are so great." Xiao Li said with tears in his eyes, "I will buy you a good coffin after you die in the line of duty!"

"Shut up." Zhang Keke covered Xiao Li's mouth and smiled at Jiang Yan, "If something really happens, don't force yourself. Contact us as soon as possible after using the tranquilizer gun."

"good."

Half an hour later.

Although it was still daytime, Qingshui Street was still very quiet. Most shops were closed, with only a few still open.

Jiang Yan found a slightly busier milk tea shop with a few couples inside. He sent Meng Tang his location and she said she would be there soon.

[Yan: What kind of milk tea do you want?]

[Tang: I drink whatever you drink.]

[Salt: Strawberry Bobo?]

[Tang: Sure. I'll transfer the amount to you.]

[Salt: No thanks. I'll treat you.]

After ordering milk tea, Jiang Yan looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling window next to him. There was no one and not many people. Even the buildings stood there silently. Only the broken sunlight sprinkled down like a waterfall, covering the entire Qingshui Street.

"0027, your milk tea is ready."

Jiang Yan took the milk tea back and returned to his seat. He looked at the milk tea, then lowered his head to look at his mobile phone. Nearly ten minutes had passed since the agreed time.

He won't be stood up, right?

Although this result seemed better to Jiang Yan, he could return safely before it got dark.

So, Jiang Yan thought about it and sent a text message to Meng Tang.

[Salt: Are you still coming?]

"If you don't come, I'll go back." Jiang Yan was still typing in the edit box. Before the second message was sent, the other party had already replied:

[Sugar: I'm already here.]

Jiang Yan was startled. The sound of high heels gradually came into her ears, followed by a faint fragrance, like the scent of lavender.

"Ginger salt."

It was a very nice female voice, even nicer than the one on the phone.

Jiang Yan was nervous for some reason. He turned around awkwardly and saw a stunningly beautiful girl with fair skin, big, bright eyes, and long black hair draped behind her like a waterfall. The breeze gently lifted her hair.

"Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?" The girl in front of him smiled gently. She had dimples when she smiled, and she was sweet, just like her name.

"No, no." Jiang Yan said two words before realizing that his tongue was getting tangled.

This cannot be blamed on him, after all, apart from his colleagues, he often deals with monsters.

“Is this milk tea for me?”

Meng Tang, wearing high heels, sat down naturally across from Jiang Yan's table.

Jiang Yan steadied his breathing and stared at Meng Tang for a long time. In fact, he wanted to determine whether the other party was a monster or not.

But he didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so he moved away when Meng Tang looked at him, then stared at the milk tea beside him and said, "Why did you choose to meet me here?"

"Huh? The travel guide I searched online said this place is very suitable for dating. Did they lie to me?" She seemed to really not know, and there was a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

Jiang Yan explained: "Recently, there have been a lot of disappearances on Qingshui Street."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Tang covered her mouth, her eyes slightly widened, and she said in disbelief: "Is it really like this?"

"I don't watch the news much, so I don't know." Meng Tang's eyes were wet, "You should reject me. I won't be a burden to you, right?"

"No, I didn't." Jiang Yan couldn't bear it and comforted her, "I just want to tell you that you should try not to come here alone."

"The crisis in Qingshui Street has not been resolved yet. But there is only a probability of danger, not a life-or-death situation, so don't be nervous." Jiang Yan continued, "Disappearances usually happen at night. Now it's daytime, so we can just leave early."

"That's good." Meng Tang put down the hand that was covering her mouth and continued to pinch the straw inserted in the milk tea.

"By the way, you said you... like me?" Jiang Yan thought of the three children at home. Although they were temporarily adopted, he still had to take full responsibility since they were living in his home. So now he was a little worried about whether the three children were eating well. So he chose to get straight to the point, "But I don't have any impression of you."

Meng Tang blinked and said, "It's okay. I just have a deep impression of you."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard the other party emphasize the pronunciation of the word "very deep".

"Let's date."

Unexpectedly, the other party's words were also concise and to the point. Jiang Yan was still stunned for a while.

After a moment, he uttered a questioning sound, "Hmm?"

Meng Tang looked at Jiang Yan with great interest, and the straw in her hand was squeezed into a flat shape unconsciously. "After we start dating, you can slowly get to know me."

Although the boss urged Jiang Yan to find a partner, Jiang Yan wanted to refuse because his job was too dangerous and he would get his partner into trouble if he was not careful.

But……

He had to find a partner to hide his undercover identity.

This is very contradictory, and Jiang Yan is very conflicted.

"But I..." Jiang Yan frowned and finally said, "I have three children."

"Huh?" The other party was slightly surprised. "Aren't you only 22? Why do you have a child?"

"I adopted them." Jiang Yan said, half-truthfully, "Their parents were kind to me, but their uncle and aunt passed away in an accident, so I came to take care of them."

"Wow, you are so kind." Unexpectedly, Meng Tang not only did not despise him, but also said admiringly, "I like you even more."

"Then it's a really good choice for us to be together. I love children, and my previous job was to be a nanny for other children." Meng Tang said softly, "I am very good at taking care of children."

Afterwards, Jiang Yan and Meng Tang talked about other things.

In summary, Meng Tang's social circle is very simple, basically all of them are parents of children. She lives a simple life and does not pursue luxury. She is good at taking care of children and is also proficient in cooking...

All in all, ginger salt is indeed very suitable.

But when talking about Jiang Yan's profession, he seemed a little evasive. It was not because he was unwilling to tell the truth, but because of the confidentiality of the profession.

"I usually have a good time at home, but sometimes I am very busy with tasks...work and may not come home at night."

"Ah~ What kind of job is this? Is it so tiring?" Meng Tang pouted and said with some complaints, "Can't you quit?"

Jiang Yan shook his head and lied without changing his expression: "I signed a very long contract and I can't quit."

"Okay then." Meng Tang didn't even notice that the straw in her hand had been broken by her nails, because her eyes had never left Jiang Yan from beginning to end. "Then when I need you, can you come home?"

Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, "I'll try my best."

"Okay, but..." Meng Tang muttered, "It's really tiring to take care of three children at once."

Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat. "Actually, I was just mentioning that if you don't want us to -" We don't have to be together.

Before he finished speaking, Meng Tang suddenly stood up, leaned forward and put a finger on Jiang Yan's lips, blocking his unfinished words. Then she smiled and said, "I like you, so I should like your children as well."

After it was over, Jiang Yan sent a text message to his boss.

[Yan: Boss, I found a girlfriend, her name is Meng Tang, I hope you can send someone to protect her.]

[Boss: That’s pretty fast. I see.]

It was already evening when they got home. After the relationship was successful, Jiang Yan took Meng Tang to the mall and bought some women's products and food.

At first, Jiang Yan suggested that the two of them could spend some time getting used to each other, but Meng Tang insisted on "living together now", which made Jiang Yan think again, and finally agreed.

Well...so he is taking Meng Tang home now.

All this happened so fast and so suddenly that Jiang Yan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, fell into deep thought.

"What's the matter, husband~"

Jiang Yan, who was still thinking, suddenly woke up and looked at Meng Tang beside him with a frightened expression. Meng Tang put on an innocent look and tilted his head, "Why are you staring at me without saying anything?"

Before Jiang Yan could speak, the driver spoke first, "Young man, I see that you two are not that old, you must have been married for not long. She is quite pretty, a little beauty. Since you have done it, you should be responsible for her."

Wait, what are you talking about?!

Who knows today is the first day they met.

Jiang Yan knew that Meng Tang was outgoing and had some social qualities. He had seen this in the mall.

Just two hours ago, Meng Tang skillfully took his arm and walked into the shopping mall, like a little bird. As they both looked good, passers-by turned their heads to look at her quite often.

For this reason, Meng Tang was a little shy and buried her head in Jiang Yan's neck, "Why are they always looking at us~"

When I first answered the phone, she was a gentle lady, but when we met, she turned into an irresistible wild cat.

Jiang Yan's heart was filled with waves.

"Husband, why don't you say anything?" Meng Tang called again in a sweet voice. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on Jiang Yan's slightly protruding collarbone hidden in his shirt. Where no one could see, she swallowed, as if she was staring at some delicious food.

"Don't shout." Jiang Yan pretended to be calm.

"Oh, okay." Meng Tang said indifferently, "But what should the three children at home call me?"

"This... I really haven't thought about it." Jiang Yan rubbed his eyebrows and said truthfully.

Moreover, the three children did not address him at all.

After all, they are not his real children.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan was filled with thoughts.

Seeing that Jiang Yan ignored her, Meng Tang quietly moved her body, getting closer and closer to Jiang Yan, until they were almost sticking together.

Since we're in a relationship now, there's nothing wrong with being closer, right?

Meng Tang thought about it, and lay down on Jiang Yan's chest, rubbing against the body below like a cat.

"hiss."

Jiang Yan felt a little itchy on his neck. He looked down and found that Meng Tang was licking him!

Jiang Yan's pupils were shocked. Because there was a third person present, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "What are you doing?"

Meng Tang said lazily: "Husband~I'm hungry."

Hearing this makes one feel numb.

The driver was still shocked by the conversation between the two passengers.

He thought these two were a newlywed couple who got married at a young age, but he didn't expect that... they actually had a child?!

And this child doesn't seem to be... the woman's.

"Honey, I'm so hungry."

"Could the driver please go faster?"

The voices of a woman and a man rang out in the car one after another. The driver, who had just been chatting and laughing, instantly wiped the sweat from his palms and said tremblingly, "Okay, okay."
