Don’t go home until you are drunk.
Lin Jiu felt helpless. Although she loved drinking, she knew that her body could not handle alcohol after her rebirth.
"Okay, but Li Mo, I'm not feeling well today and can't drink. I'll have a drink instead."
"Feeling unwell? Xiaojiu, why don't we go have dessert now? Why are we at the bar when we don't drink?"
"I like this atmosphere. No one says you have to drink when you come to a bar." Lin Jiu turned his head to look at Li Mo.
Li Mo hadn't seen Lin Jiu for a long time. When she was a child, she always looked indifferent and had never looked at him sideways like this.
Maybe the little girl has grown up, and as girls change a lot, she has become more and more feminine.
Li Mo touched Lin Jiu's head unconsciously.
"Well, Xiaojiu, we won't drink today."
As the heavy bass rhythm sounded, Lin Jiu felt very happy.
Li Mo was watching her from the side, his eyes full of warmth.
"Brother Li, can you tell me about your work?"
"My work is confidential. Sorry, Xiaojiu, I can't tell you." Li Mo poured Lin Jiu a cup of hot water. "If you're not feeling well, drink less cold drinks."
Lin Jiu was not feeling unwell, he was just afraid of getting drunk. However, looking at the dazzling array of wines in front of him, he just felt greedy.
"Xiaojiu, do you know that I have experienced many separations and deaths in the past few years? Whenever the moon is high in the sky, I will think of what we looked like when we were little."
"Thank you, Brother Li, thank you for protecting me since I was a child."
"I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. Now I'm back. I will always protect you, okay?" Li Mo's hand that was holding Lin Jiu's sleeve moved slowly, trying to grab Lin Jiu's hand, but Lin Jiu dodged.
"You have a job, how can you protect me?"
"Xiaojiu, I think I can try hard." Li Mo's eyes flashed with some regret at this time, and he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, Xiaojiu, this was dropped when you were little. I once took you to the hospital. I didn't give it back to you at the time out of selfishness, but now I think I was so childish. After all, it belongs to you, so I'm giving it back to you now."
Li Mo took out a pink hairpin from his windbreaker pocket.
Lin Jiu looked carefully and found that it was indeed the hairpin he had when he was a child. He didn't expect that it was with Li Mo.
When the hairpin lay in the palm of his hand, Lin Jiu felt a pang of sadness.
Because it was given to her by her mother.
She missed her mother.
Lin Jiu's mother was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, but unfortunately she lay quietly in the Bincheng River when she died.
Serene and quiet.
Just like when she was alive.
"Mom." Something flashed in Lin Jiu's eyes.
Li Mo didn't know what Lin Jiu meant by calling her mom. "Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you? I'm sorry for taking your hairpin without your permission. But when I was captured and taken to the special agent training camp, it was this hairpin that gave me the courage to survive."
"This is the hairpin my mother gave me." Lin Jiu's eyes slowly became empty as he recalled his childhood.
"Xiaojiu, I'm sorry. I picked up your things and never returned them to you. I didn't know they were so important to you." Li Mo held Lin Jiu's hand.
"It doesn't matter. If you hadn't picked it up and didn't give it to me, I might have exchanged it for food when I had nothing to eat."
After saying this, Lin Jiu reached out and poured himself a glass of vodka.
"Xiaojiu, let me protect you like we did when we were little, okay?"
Li Mo wanted to reach out and touch Lin Jiu's face, and he smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes.
