59 Reset Lights | Assembly Line Couple
There was thin ice on the river surface on the winter night. The street lights stretched their shadows into a long line, which then folded into the shadows of the trees.
The two of them turned from the stone path in Jiangxian River Park to the old road leading back to Lin Weifeng's home.
Lin Weifeng asked: "What about you, where are you going back to?"
"Where else can I go back to?" Jiang Yu tilted his head, a smirk in his eyes, "Why, you want to rush in in the middle of the night to check on me?"
"How could that be!" Lin Weifeng nudged him with his elbow, took out a keychain from his pocket, and waved it in front of him. "The key you gave me, even if I can't contact you these days, I won't use it."
"Why, haven't you been there once?"
"Last time was last time, this time is this time."
"Why not use it this time?" Jiang Yu asked.
"Because I'm scared," she breathed softly, "I've been scared lately."
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Yu looked concerned.
"Afraid..." Lin Weifeng buried her face in her scarf, her voice muffled and pitiful, "Afraid of getting a sudden call - Officer Jiang sacrificed himself to save me, and asked me to claim his belongings."
Jiang Yu paused, knowing that he had made her worried.
But he rubbed the top of her head, and said in the same rude tone as before: "Wish me something good?"
"Of course I hope you're well! I hope so all the time," Lin Weifeng said, "I don't want to become your relic for no apparent reason."
He uttered a low "Oh" and wrapped his palm around her cold fingertips, putting them into his pocket along with the key.
"What are you thinking about, Lin Weifeng?"
Jiang Yu held her hand tightly and walked for a while.
Lin Weifeng said: "After adulthood, there are too many short-term relationships. At the beginning, I was afraid that ours was just a brief encounter, but these days, I am afraid that we will be completely separated."
Jiang Yu raised his head slightly and looked at the fireworks bursting from the dead branches.
He said, "But the Lin Weifeng I remember shouldn't be so frightened."
"What should it be like?" Lin Weifeng looked at him.
"She deserves the whole world's favor. The man she chooses should give her complete peace of mind."
Lin Weifeng said: "She deserves the favor of the whole world, but she is only afraid of losing you."
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, then turned to meet her gaze. "Even if the Jiang Yu in her heart really doesn't come back this time, she can still find true happiness and achieve a fulfilling life."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Breeze, I'm sorry." Jiang Yu apologized and said nothing else.
Lin Weifeng swallowed and said nothing.
In his pocket, Jiang Yu held her hand even tighter.
"I was just asked where I was going home," he replied now, "I'm going back to Jiangguan Village today. It's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm helping my dad with work."
Lin Weifeng puffed out her lips and nodded.
After a while, Jiang Yu said, "In order to make sure you don't feel afraid to use the key to open the door every time, I will come back alive in all my future operations."
"Don't you dare!"
"I don't dare."
The fireworks display ended briefly, and the area around Jiangxian River became quiet, with only the sounds of passers-by chatting and laughing.
Lin Weifeng bit the straw and asked, "Jiang Yu, how did you know I was in the box in the middle that day?"
"you guess."
"Did you see me?"
"Maybe, but at that moment, I didn't dare to be too sure of myself."
"How was it confirmed later?"
"Axun gave me a look." He said frankly.
Her breathing suddenly stopped, and the mist condensed in front of her lips.
"Axun?"
"Um."
Lin Weifeng turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yu, her eyelashes casting a fine arc under the streetlight: "Is he... still alive?"
"Alive." Jiang Yu lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea. "In the detention center."
"Is he a good guy or a bad guy?"
Jiang Yu turned the rim of the milk tea cup, as if he was considering the most appropriate scale.
"He participated in crime, but he has a conscience and is not a bad person."
The wind blew through the treetops, bringing a new chill.
Lin Weifeng nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and just quietly put his other hand into his coat pocket.
She said, "No matter what, I have to thank him."
The three or four kilometer journey was cut into dim frames of film by the streetlights. They walked side by side, their shadows stretching and overlapping, only to be reproduced by the next light.
The winter wind rustled the hems of their coats, but it couldn't break up the harmonious rhythm of their steps along the way.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the iron gate of the community was in front of us.
The red lantern on the door lintel swayed gently, becoming a gentle end to this road.
Lin Weifeng remembered something, raised his eyes and smiled, "Do you know that the entrance of the corridor is also the place where couples on the assembly line check in."
"I know," Jiang Yu replied briskly, one hand in his pocket. "The year I first started working, a college student called the police to report a disturbance downstairs. We arrived at the scene and discovered that their real issue was the inappropriate affection between a campus couple."
"So how did you deal with it?"
"We mediated on the spot."
Lin Weifeng raised an eyebrow: "Have you...ever had that?"
"Me?" Jiang Yu pointed at himself with his free index finger, turned around and walked backwards, still holding her hand with his other hand, "Ms. Lin Weifeng, you really think too highly of me."
He raised the corner of his mouth: "But...it will be available later."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Jiang Yu asked: "What is our relationship now?"
"What's the relationship?"
"Ms. Lin Weifeng, you told me righteously that day to suspend our relationship!"
“…”
Lin Weifeng pursed her lips embarrassedly and did not answer directly.
The atmosphere was just right. She clicked on the wedding photos sent by Sun Zhengxiao, turned her phone sideways, and showed them to Jiang Yu frame by frame.
"Is this probably the kind of relationship?" Lin Weifeng said playfully.
"Let me take a look."
Jiang Yu leaned over slightly, his shoulder touching hers, as if unintentionally yet intentionally.
Not all photos are perfect. Sometimes, Jiang Yu would sigh and say, "My hand isn't touching you in this photo. I'll take another one next time."
Sometimes, he would say with a smile, "Am I really that fair? I never thought I could be a pretty boy in this life."
"And this close-up of the brooch, 'Real Groom,' that's unnecessary..."
"Can I still be fake?"
…
Lin Weifeng laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled slightly.
The laughter of the two people spread out in the winter night.
Just when Lin Weifeng thought that the night would be peaceful, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The sudden silence was because...
She saw Wenling standing at the stairs.
Beige coat and shoulder bag, gentle and elegant.
When Wen Ling saw Lin Weifeng, his eyes lit up first, then swept across Jiang Yu beside her, and found it even more incredible, and finally stopped at the hands of the two who had not yet let go.
Awkward... Lin Weifeng's fingers froze in Jiang Yu's palm.
Only then did she remember that after returning from Beiwan, she forgot to tell Wenling why she agreed to let him pick her up at the airport, why she broke the appointment, and why she lost contact.
Although Wenling did not ask any further questions or blame him, other people's tolerance does not mean that no explanation is needed.
After all, it is an honor to be liked and appreciated by a normal person. Wenling is such a confident and graceful person, he must have done some psychological preparation before taking the initiative to call me.
Instead, I inadvertently became an impolite young man.
At that time, Lin Weifeng was so busy calming down his inner struggle that he didn't notice that Jiang Yu gave Wen Ling a wink.
At first, the meaning of his look was not complicated. Jiang Yu just hoped that Wen Ling would not mention his injury.
Jiang Yu suffered a serious chest injury this time.
That day, in the damp tunnel of Beiwan, he tried desperately to control Miao Zheng, not realizing that his flesh and blood had seeped outside his combat uniform.
After Miao Zheng was arrested, Jiang Yu was so exhausted that he knelt on one knee on the ground, and Lin Haidong squatted down to support him.
Before he fainted, he said to Lin Haidong, "Don't tell Weifeng, she's already very scared."
After returning to Jingjiang, Jiang Yu's first operation was performed by Wenling.
In order to keep the secret, Lin Haidong stayed in the hospital for a few days to take care of him and did not tell his family that he had returned.
The red lanterns swayed gently, and the spots of light shattered on the ground.
The breathing of several people, which had just relaxed, became disrupted again.
Jiang Yu didn't know that Lin Weifeng knew Wen Ling, and didn't know that his doctor would appear downstairs of his beloved's house.
Wen Ling didn't even know that his patient was actually his love rival.
Jiang Yu saw Lin Weifeng's strange look.
The most valuable quality of a person is judgment. He quickly realized, "The places where couples check in on the assembly line are really disturbing. Unfortunately, I can't call the police."
Lin Weifeng: “…”
Jiang Yu's words cut the embarrassment into three halves.
Lin Weifeng felt a little guilty. She tried her best to open her mouth, but only a very light gasp came out.
Wenling walked towards them.
Although he was surprised by the relationship between Jiang Yu and Lin Weifeng, he didn't care.
Or, you can deliberately not care.
He lowered his eyelashes, put his right hand into his coat pocket, and took out an exquisite gift box.
Wen Ling said in a steady voice within Lin Weifeng's ear: "I'm here to give you a New Year's gift."
Lin Weifeng felt a dry throat and was about to reach out his hand, but Jiang Yu took it first.
Wenling raised his eyes.
This was the first time he faced Jiang Yu head-on without being a doctor-patient.
Jiang Yu's gaze was not sharp, but it had the sharpness unique to a criminal policeman, cold and heavy, completely different from his worried look in the ward.
A bitter taste passed through Wenling's heart.
Because he knew about the existence of the wedding dress, Wen Ling could always guess that there was a suitable candidate around Lin Weifeng.
He tried to find some clues through the relationship between his fathers, and Lin Haidong did mention it lightly -
"My daughter has no plans to get married yet."
"That wedding was a last-minute support for a friend."
"The wedding dress isn't hers either. It's more like a costume than a wedding dress!"
He didn't find out who the other party was, and always thought he had a chance.
Unexpectedly, this candidate appeared in front of him so early.
He had even cured this person himself. Seeing the powerful aura Jiang Yu exuded under normal circumstances, it was so powerful that no matter how confident and calm he was, he felt a little ridiculous.
Yes, even in the most fake wedding, the costumes can be taken off and never put on again, but the roots that people take root in outside the play will continue to thrive.
Why didn't he believe it at first? Why did he think he had a chance?
Wen Ling hid his self-mockery in the corner of his eyes, and his voice remained gentle: "It's a small gift, don't despise it."
Jiang Yu held the gift box, opened it calmly, and handed it to Lin Weifeng.
Inside is a colorful crystal bracelet, crystal clear, lying quietly on the dark green velvet, very beautiful.
Lin Weifeng said, "Thank you."
She naturally didn't want to accept it, and just said, "But..."
Wen Ling interrupted gently: "Don't feel burdened. Even if you do, I won't back down at this moment."
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Jiang Yu.
There was no spark, only two equally clear gazes, which clashed in an instant and then sheathed themselves.
Wenling said, "Please accept it. I think this gentleman will not make things difficult for you."
Lin Weifeng looked at Jiang Yu, and Wen Ling's voice continued to ring in his ears:
"Since I had the opportunity to pick someone up at the airport once, I think there will be another chance. Even if it's 'maybe', I will wait a little longer."
"I will never retreat."
Jiang Yu didn't know about the "pick-up at the airport" episode, and looked at her a little confused, but there was no intention of questioning in that moment of confusion.
He also knew that it was just an ordinary date, and it had only just begun tonight. It was understandable that a good match appeared in Lin Weifeng's world during this period.
He gently pushed the gift box half an inch towards Lin Weifeng's palm, as if to say: It's up to you to accept it or not.
Then he let go of the hand that was holding her.
Wen Ling saw it and realized that Jiang Yu was not trying to fight for it deliberately at this moment.
In fact, as he said, Jiang Yu did not make things difficult for Lin Weifeng and fully respected Lin Weifeng's own decision, even if it was only about whether to accept the gift or not.
Wenling took the opportunity to confess, "When Gongda was signing up for the blind date, I happened to know you through the news and admired you. When I saw you were participating, I immediately signed up."
He paused and said, "It's only been more than a month. I didn't expect..." He smiled.
Lin Weifeng said: "A lot has happened these days."
Wen Ling smiled. He didn't want to know what happened. He just asked, "Should I ask for an explanation?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why, you didn't show up at the airport."
"Because..." Lin Weifeng couldn't express his hatred, "Because of work, I couldn't get on the plane."
Wen Ling smiled and said, "Uncle Lin also said that you had some problems at work and didn't get on the plane."
Lin Weifeng: "So you know."
"I've indeed been making a point of staying in touch with Uncle Lin, and I'm thankful he's been coming to the hospital frequently for training programs lately." He said gravely, "However, I thought 'business' was an excuse and misjudged you."
At this point, Jiang Yu had already understood the general idea.
The time of "pick up at the airport" corresponds to the day when Lin Weifeng was kidnapped.
If Lin Weifeng had not been found by Axun, the Wenling airport pick-up plan would have been completed.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel sad or happy...
