Zhou Luancheng knew Zhou Shixun's character. He would never speak unless he asked. "I still have two hundred here. You can use it first. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you after I get my salary this month. Anyway, I don't have much to spend."
Zhou Shixun pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No need for now, I'll ask you for it later when I need it. Are you busy recently?"
Zhou Luancheng was quite surprised that his brother actually cared about him: "It's okay, there aren't many cases recently, but there is a cross-provincial case, I may be away for a few days in the next few days."
Zhou Shixun chatted for a few more sentences and suddenly asked, "I heard that a lot of coal and gold mines have been mined in Nanshan in the past two years."
Zhou Luancheng nodded: "Yes, the country has increased its efforts in development in the past two years. That place is indeed a treasure land. However, the policy has been open recently, and there are also some greedy people, so the public security is relatively chaotic."
Then he was a little surprised: "Why do you care about this issue? My sister-in-law will definitely not go there to study. It's just that students from the forensic department go there to study and observe for a period of time every year."
Zhou Shixun was silent for a moment: "So, you looked unhappy while eating, was it because you were worried about Mu Xiaowan?"
Zhou Luancheng was stunned. His elder brother said so much, and it turned out that he was gossiping about him and Mu Xiaowan. This was a bit unlike his elder brother's style.
But since he asked, Zhou Luancheng told the truth: "Yes, a little bit, but there are some other things."
Zhou Shixun was silent again, as if he was considering how to start, and then he slowly said: "No matter what kind of feelings you have for Mu Xiaowan, if you like her, you should settle the relationship as soon as possible. Don't drag it out like this, making it hard for people to figure out. Doesn't the girl like you too? Even if you can't get married, you can settle the matter first."
Zhou Luancheng looked at Zhou Shixun in surprise: "Brother, do you care about me or Xiaowan?"
It felt like Zhou Shixun cared about Sheng An Ning's affairs and didn't care about anyone else's affairs at all. Now that he suddenly cared about him or Mu Xiaowan, he felt it was a little abnormal.
Zhou Shixun frowned: "Your sister-in-law has a good relationship with Xiao Wan, and she can't bear to see her get hurt. If her friend is sad, your sister-in-law will definitely be sad too."
Zhou Luancheng finally understood. After all the fuss, Zhou Shixun was worried that he would hurt Mu Xiaowan, which would make Sheng Anning sad. He shook his head and laughed, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not hurt Mu Xiaowan, but I still have some knots in my heart."
"I go to the hospital's psychology department every month for treatment."
He tapped his chest and said, "I have a problem here. I thought I was strong enough to heal it with time, but I found that it doesn't work."
Zhou Shixun's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again: "Something happened at the border?"
Zhou Luancheng nodded, his eyes suddenly became sad and lonely, with a trace of pain flashing in his eyes. There were some memories he didn't want to touch, but he had to face the reality.
Zhou Shixun remained silent again and did not ask any more questions, because he knew that asking would be equivalent to opening the wound that Zhou Luancheng did not want to talk about.
After a long time, he stood up, walked to Zhou Luancheng, and patted him on the shoulder: "No matter what happens, I believe your decision is right."
Zhou Luancheng smiled and said, "But sometimes I still wake up from my dreams."
So he worked very hard and exhausted his body so that he could have a good sleep. However, his appetite was still poor. Only when he saw Mu Xiaowan eating, his appetite would improve a little.
…
Sheng Anning asked Zhou Shixun what he talked about with Zhou Luancheng. Zhou Shixun didn't elaborate: "He talked about some things about his work. The case has been a bit tricky recently, and he may have to go on a business trip."
Sheng An Ning didn't think much about it. After all, Zhou Shixun was not the gossipy type and he would definitely not ask about the situation between Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan.
Mu Xiaowan was originally going to go to Nanshan with the school bus, but the day before departure she ate something that upset her stomach, and she suffered from vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.
I really couldn't bear to sit in the car for more than three hours, so I took two days off and waited until I felt better before taking the bus to Nanshan by myself.
Unexpectedly, when Mu Xiaowan recovered, she met Zhou Luancheng when she went to the bus station to buy a ticket.
He is tall and thin, and still very eye-catching standing in the crowd.
Mu Xiaowan kept staring at Zhou Luancheng and saw him looking down at the paper in his hand, not caring about someone cutting in line in front of him.
After thinking for a while, he rushed over, stood in front of Zhou Luancheng, and stopped someone who wanted to cut in line: "Hey, why are you cutting in line? This comrade has been waiting for a long time."
Zhou Luancheng just noticed Mu Xiaowan in front of him. He looked at her yelling at those who wanted to cut in line and smiled, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry."
Mu Xiaowan snorted: "They are spoiled!"
Thinking that standing here was also considered cutting in line, he reached out and grabbed Zhou Luancheng's wrist, and went to the back of the line to line up again: "Where are you going? I'll help you line up and buy tickets. Let's see who dares to cut in line this time."
Zhou Luancheng didn't care, but he was surprised to run into Mu Xiaowan here: "Let's go to Nanshan Town."
Mu Xiaowan exclaimed: "I'm going to Nanshan Town too. What a coincidence. Do you have a case there?"
Zhou Luancheng nodded slightly: "Yes, there are some other things to deal with. I heard from my sister-in-law that you went there to study for a month?"
Mu Xiaowan nodded: "Yes, I'll be gone for a month."
As the team moved forward, more and more people came over and tried to cut in line, but they were all yelled at fiercely by Mu Xiaowan.
In addition, there was Zhou Luancheng behind her who looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with, so the people who were yelled at had to obediently line up behind them.
Zhou Luancheng watched with a smile, and reminded: "The security in Nanshan is not good, so don't go out at night. Even if you go out during the day, don't go alone. Find two companions to go with you, and don't go to remote places."
Mu Xiaowan smiled with crooked eyes: "An Ning said the same thing. I value my life more than anyone else. But if we really meet, I'm not afraid. If I can't beat him, I can just run away."
After that, he curiously asked Zhou Luancheng: "How many days will you stay in Nanshan?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "Not sure, it could be as short as three to five days, or as long as a week."
Mu Xiaowan was in a better mood: "If you have time, I will treat you to mutton. The mutton in Nanshan Town is very famous."
Zhou Luancheng smiled and nodded: "Okay."
When it was their turn to buy tickets, Mu Xiaowan rushed to pay for two tickets.
Knowing that Zhou Luancheng would be embarrassed to grab a seat, he handed the luggage to Zhou Luancheng and said, "I'll get on the bus first to take up two seats, you can follow me."
As soon as the car door opened, Zhou Luancheng saw Mu Xiaowan nimbly squeeze through the crowd and get on the car. She turned around and smiled at him with a squinting eye. The smile was clean and had a sense of déjà vu. Suddenly, he felt a little dazed...
