Chapter 665 My Useless Husband with a Junior High School Diploma (34)

Bai Yao held Pei Yan's face, her dark eyes staring at his clean and clear eyes. She smiled and asked casually, "Do you want the rain to stop?"

Pei Yan did not answer. He lowered his eyes slightly and avoided Bai Yao's sight.

He was always energetic and wanted to occupy all of Bai Yao's eyes, especially when she was looking at him. What he liked most was that her eyes were filled with his presence.

But now, he did not have the courage to look her in the eye.

She suddenly said, "It doesn't matter if the rain doesn't stop."

Pei Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly and he looked at her blankly.

Bai Yao's eyebrows curved, and the corners of her lips raised, "If the rain keeps falling, the two of us will have to stay here and live a life without being disturbed by anyone."

Pei Yan's clean and handsome face changed, and the corners of his lips moved slightly. He wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say. Fortunately,

Bai Yao quickly resolved the silent atmosphere. She said: "I want to drink hot milk."

"I'll get it!" Pei Yan got off the sofa, paused slightly, turned around and hugged her, and wrapped her in the blanket, "Yaoyao, wait for me to come back."

Bai Yao nodded.

Pei Yan trotted to the kitchen, and his hurried movements also concealed a bit of fleeing meaning.

Bai Yao leaned on the sofa and listened to the sound of rain. Not long after, she heard heavy footsteps again. She raised her head and greeted, "Good evening, Mr. Yan."

The person who came was Yan Suan, a man with gray hair. Although he was still strong for an elderly man, his gray hair and wrinkles on his face told the world that time does not favor anyone.

Yan Su sat on the sofa opposite and sighed: "It's really lively today."

Bai Yao asked: "When you came here, did you think you would encounter such heavy rain?"

Yan Su did not answer but asked: "What are you going to do if the rain keeps on falling?"

"My husband is here, I am not in a hurry to go out. I can report to my parents with him when there is a signal after a while."

Yan Su's eyes flickered, "I think the rain will stop soon now."

Bai Yao: "Why?"

Yan Su smiled: "Maybe it's because he has a family."

The story about the old man and the Moonlight Hotel has to start from sixty years ago.

At that time, he was still an intern who had just joined the company. The first case he took on with his master was a missing student case.

There was no surveillance in those days, so the case was indeed very difficult to handle, and they had to visit many places frequently.

The missing boy's family was not rich, but he had many brothers and sisters. His parents were typical of those who only cared about giving birth to him but not raising him. They only wanted to make a living every day, and they never cared about letting their children study. It was not

until he was ten years old that he had the opportunity to go to school.

This was because the relevant departments noticed their family situation, went to their home many times, and promised to reduce a lot of fees, so that his parents agreed to let him go to school.

Even after entering school, he was not well fed and warmly dressed, and he was out of tune with the surrounding environment. His classmates said he was a little beggar, disliked him for being dirty, and never played with him.

I don't know when he picked up a kitten and secretly hid it in his schoolbag to raise it. He was obviously not full, but he still saved half of the lunch distributed by the school to raise the cat. What else could he be but a fool?

He was an invisible person, so after he disappeared, the police interviewed all the classmates in the class and did not get any useful clues.

But among the children who did bad things, there are always those who were timid and exposed their feet.

The young policeman, who had just started working and was full of enthusiasm, vowed to find out the truth. He repeatedly asked his master to bring these children to the police station for investigation. The master looked at him and said, "You are just doing useless work."

He did not understand this sentence. Under his insistence, the master finally applied for the right to interrogate the six children.

The six children, aged twelve or thirteen, only said that they invited the boy to go out and play, but the boy soon went back first. They had no idea where he went.

Obviously, they had confessed, but they were minors, and their parents were well-known people in society. They quickly brought lawyers to put pressure on them and took the children away. Not long after, the six children all transferred to other schools.

As for the missing child, his parents received a sum of money, and no one cared about his whereabouts.

This only further indicated that something had happened to the missing child.

Thinking of the past, the old man, now with a white beard, laughed self-deprecatingly, "It took me a long time to understand the meaning of what my master said back then."

Even though they all knew that the child's disappearance was related to the six students, they could not take any strong measures against the six children. Even if they were police officers, it would not have any effect.

In the end, the matter would only be fruitless, just like many cases, which ended in nothing.

"Sixty years ago, I came to this hotel." The old man looked at Bai Yao and said slowly: "I took the stolen hotel drawings and searched here for a long, long time..."

The young and vigorous man was unwilling to let the victim die in silence, and even more unwilling to let the real murderer get away with it without paying any price, so he did a lot of things that violated the rules.

Yan Su said: "I saw a child holding a cat in the cold storage. I promised him that I would bring the person who hurt him to justice, but I broke my promise."

Bai Yao replied calmly: "It's not your fault."

No one knew what Yan Su talked to Bai Yao about when she gave her strawberries. But after that day, Bai Yao's attitude towards the hotel employees changed. At that

time, Yan Su only mentioned: "Sixty years ago, when I came to the hotel, I saw only one child, but twenty-five years later, when I came to the hotel for the second time, there were four more people here. They stood together, like a family." There were

several figures standing in the kitchen, which was quite lively.

Chef Zhou kept chopping on the chopping board. He was very strong and didn't feel tired after working for such a long time. He kept muttering: "Let's plant more tomatoes in the vegetable garden. I think Yaoyao likes them."

Aunt Wu was mopping the floor. She raised her head and reminded Mu And who was standing by the window to wear more clothes and not catch a cold. She replied to Chef Zhou: "I think it's okay. I can also raise a few chickens to lay eggs."

Mu An leaned against the glass window and stared at the rain. "It's raining so hard. It would be better if it rained a little harder, right, Mu Ping?"

Mu Ping picked up a glass of honey water and said "hmm" gently. He also walked to the window, with the wind and rain outside the window reflected in his eyes. "This rain will continue."

"The rain will stop."

Everyone was slightly startled and looked at the person standing at the counter with hot milk.

Pei Yan raised his eyes and said expressionlessly: "The rain will stop soon."
