Chapter 211 Happy New Year, Shen Xichuan.
Black smoke filled the sky in the distance.
The sound of messy footsteps kept ringing in my ears.
The environment on the scene was suffocating at the beginning, but now it has gradually become calm.
Those who were still alive were thankful that they were able to escape from the rampant flames yesterday.
New Year's Day is the first day of the new year.
It’s also a new beginning.
It is a rebirth again.
Xu Jialan looked at the man's slightly drooping eyelashes, casting a faint shadow, unable to hide his fatigue. His face was covered in black spots that had appeared there without knowing how, and his body was covered in dust.
The whole person looks dirty.
But even so, his pair of black eyes looked at her, tenderness overflowing in them.
Xu Jialan felt as if his chest was filled with something, making him feel sour, bitter, and sweet.
The corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and tenderness appeared in her cold eyes.
"Happy New Year, Shen Xichuan."
It turns out that it is so difficult to simply say Happy New Year.
At this moment, some people are separated from life and death, while others survive.
On this day.
The first day of the new year.
Some people may never have a Happy New Year in their entire life.
How fortunate we should be that they still have many years to come.
Shen Xichuan kept looking at her, his eyebrows raised, “Happy New Year, wife.”
This was their first New Year together.
It is also a New Year of great significance.
When Shen Xichuan was about to say something else.
A man was walking over from a distance.
"Ogawa."
The two looked over.
Shen Yankai had taken off his suit jacket at some point, and was only wearing a thin white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong and muscular arms.
I don't know when the custom-made white shirt was covered in dust.
Both brothers looked equally dirty.
He strode over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Shen Xichuan shook his head, “It’s okay.”
Xu Jialan suddenly thought of An Yuening, "Brother, where is Ningning?"
Everyone was busy just now and didn't have time to ask each other about their situation.
Shen Yankai casually wiped the sweat from his face and pointed his chin at the tent not far away, "She is still treating the wounds of the wounded inside."
That night, he couldn't count how many wounded people An Yuening had treated.
Anyway, it never stopped.
He couldn't help in any way and could only do some supply of medical supplies outside.
Xu Jialan looked over, but the tent was very tightly closed and he couldn't see anything.
She also guessed what the situation was now.
No one said much.
Fang Zhiyun came over to inform that there were still places where evidence needed to be collected.
The serious business came, and Xu Jialan had no time to say anything to Shen Xichuan.
The two of them briefly looked at each other.
Almost nothing needs to be said.
They can see what each other wants to express in their eyes.
Xu Jialan curled the corners of his mouth under the mask, nodded slightly, reached out for a pair of gloves, put them on skillfully, and walked quickly away.
"Tell Captain Chen that after we finish collecting evidence, we can have their people come over to record their statements."
"Also, have people wear protective clothing and place 3D scanners in the warehouses where the explosions occurred to record the crime scene..."
The cold voice drifted farther and farther away with the wind.
Shen Xichuan put his hands on his hips and looked at her back quietly.
Their work is done.
But her work has just begun.
Shen Yankai patted his shoulder and said, "If you are done with your work, tell your parents that you are safe. They probably haven't slept all night."
Shen Xichuan slowly withdrew his gaze and nodded, “I understand.”
"Are you going back to the team first? Or are you waiting here?"
After a long while, Shen Xichuan spoke, “I’ll pack up the team first and come back to take her home later.”
In this uniform, he is still a firefighter.
He cannot leave the team without permission until the work is completely completed.
But when the work is over and he takes off this clothes, he is just Xu Jialan's husband.
Shen Yankai nodded, "Okay, then you can pack up first, I'll go over and accompany your sister-in-law."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Shen Xichuan stood there for a while before leaving.
…
This way.
Xu Jialan personally led the team and was busy on site for several hours.
From the time when the sky was just getting light, now I can see the sun when I look up.
After Xu Jialan finished collecting evidence for the last time, he handed the tools in his hand to Fang Zhiyun.
"The evidence collection is complete. The remaining samples will be sent back to the laboratory. I'm sorry to trouble everyone for the next few days."
Fang Zhiyun nodded. "Don't worry, Professor Xu. The other colleagues who were on vacation have all returned. We will definitely send the results to Captain Chen as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Jialan curled his lips.
"By the way, Professor Xu, over there...someone has been waiting for you for a long time."
Fang Zhiyun pointed behind Xu Jialan.
Hearing this, Xu Jialan was slightly startled. He turned around subconsciously and saw a familiar vehicle.
Through the windshield, she could see the man sitting in the driver's seat.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance.
Xu Jialan could vaguely see that the man had changed his clothes before coming over.
She pinched her fingertips slightly, knowing that he must have returned to the team, packed himself up and rushed to the scene to wait for her.
Fang Zhiyun stood by and said, "Professor Xu, you should go back and rest for a while. We can take care of the rest."
Xu Jialan was afraid that he would get anxious waiting, "Then you guys go back first, I'll go to the station later."
"good."
Xu Jialan took off his gloves, took off his white coat as he walked, and ran quickly towards the man.
When Shen Xichuan saw her coming, he opened the door and got out of the car.
He stood beside the car, his brows softening, "Slow down."
Xu Jialan stopped only when he ran in front of him.
The familiar scent of sandalwood filled her nose.
When she smelled his scent, she subconsciously raised her hands, hugged his waist, and put her face on his chest.
Listen to the strong heartbeat.
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes, put his arm around her waist, and gently stroked the back of her head with his other hand, "Are you hungry? I brought you some food, do you want to eat something first?"
Xu Jialan's eyes fell on the bag placed on the passenger seat and he was slightly stunned.
"And you?"
She looked up and asked, "Have you eaten?"
With a gentle and faint smile on his lips, Shen Xichuan touched her face and said honestly, “No.”
"Shall we eat together?" he said.
Xu Jialan nodded, "Okay."
She knew he must be very tired after a night.
At least more tired than her.
But he hadn't eaten yet and was just waiting for her here.
…
In the carriage.
Shen Xichuan opened the bag and handed over a cup of soy milk at just the right temperature, “Drink a hot one first.”
Xu Jialan was stunned when he saw the familiar logo on the cup.
She looked incredulous, "You went all the way back home to buy breakfast downstairs?"
The soy milk in my hand is only available at the breakfast shop outside the entrance of Xinghuwan Community.
Shen Xichuan had a calm expression. He took out a box from the bag and opened the lid.
The aroma of the dumplings instantly filled the carriage.
"It won't take me long to go back. You can eat right after you finish your work."
He took a pair of disposable chopsticks, picked up a steamed bun, blew it gently, and then fed it to her lips.
"Try it, it's what you like."
