The festive atmosphere of the New Year is still in the air, but time seems to have grown wings and is passing by extremely quickly.
Fu Yanci's leg injury has completely healed in this warm New Year.
After a year, he will return to the army and continue to fulfill his mission.
Su Wantang naturally chose to go back with him without hesitation, and the friendship between the two grew deeper during this period of time.
Lu Xiangdong's care for Fu Yanci never stopped. During the period after the New Year, he sent people to call her many times.
His words were full of concern for Fu Yanci. He asked about his injury recovery and when he would return to the team. Every detail revealed his care.
On the day we set out for Changbei City, the sky was blue and the sun was shining softly on the earth, adding a bit of warmth to this day of parting.
Fu Yanxue suddenly offered to send them to Changbei City. There was a hint of expectation in her eyes that made it impossible to refuse.
So, after the three of them were ready, they set out on their journey together.
Arriving in Changbei City, Fu Yanxue did not rush back, but held Su Wantang's hand with anticipation and said, "Xiao Wan, I haven't been here for a long time. Please accompany me to walk around."
Su Wantang looked at her eager eyes, smiled and nodded.
At this time, Fu Yanci had to report to the army first. He looked at Su Wantang deeply, reminded her to be careful, and turned and left.
Su Wantang and Fu Yanxue came to the department store, which was still bustling with people coming and going and a wide variety of goods on display.
When she set foot in this place again, Fu Yanxue's heart was filled with thousands of thoughts and memories of the past came flooding back like a tide.
She gently took Su Wantang's hand, exerted a little force with her fingers, and pointed to the jewelry shop in front with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
Question: "Xiao Wan, do you still remember that store?"
Su Wantang looked in the direction she pointed and saw the familiar salesperson, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
She smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples: "Of course I remember."
The salesperson happened to see them and was stunned at first. He stopped what he was doing, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Then, as if he remembered something, his eyes sparkled with surprise. He waved vigorously at them and shouted, "Comrades! Comrades! Long time no see!"
Su Wantang and Fu Yanxue walked over with a smile, and the three of them sat down next to the counter.
After sitting down, the three of them talked about the past.
The saleswoman was beaming with joy, her cheeks slightly flushed with excitement, her eyes sparkling as she said, "I never thought I'd get to see you two heroes again."
Fu Yanxue looked at the salesperson with gratitude in her eyes, and praised sincerely: "It was thanks to you that we were able to come back alive last time."
The salesperson scratched his head a little embarrassedly, a blush appeared on his face, and he said modestly: "This is what I should do."
When Su Wantang asked her to report to the police, she was also confused.
It was only later that we found out that the two of them had actually risked their lives to go to the human traffickers' den and catch all the traffickers in one fell swoop.
The salesperson sincerely admired both of them, and looked at them with eyes full of admiration.
As they chatted, the saleswoman seemed to have thought of something. She frowned slightly, moved closer, and whispered, "I heard that a group of human traffickers have appeared recently, specializing in kidnapping children, causing panic among people."
Fu Yanxue was startled, a look of surprise appeared on her face, her eyes wide open, and she quickly asked, "When did it happen?"
The salesperson thought for a moment and answered seriously, "Before the New Year."
Fu Yanxue asked again: "Did you catch him?"
The salesperson nodded repeatedly, a pleased smile on his face, and said, "We caught it. We caught it just two days ago."
Seeing the relief on Fu Yanxue's face, she continued, "The one who personally went to arrest the traffickers was a young policeman named Dong. I heard that the city's police chief saw that he was young and promising and had made great contributions, so he planned to marry his daughter to him! He is really blessed..."
After hearing this, Su Wantang realized belatedly that this police officer named Dong was most likely Dong Cheng!
He is going to marry the daughter of the city's police chief? !
Su Wantang's heart was shaken, and she subconsciously glanced at Fu Yanxue. Sure enough, she saw that she was a little absent-minded, with a hint of loss in her eyes.
So Su Wantang quickly asked, "Did Public Security Dong agree?"
The salesperson shook his head with a hint of doubt on his face, and said, "I don't know about that, but he shouldn't refuse such a good marriage, right?"
After chatting for a while, Su Wantang took Fu Yanxue to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
They arrived early and there were not many people in the state-owned restaurant. The sunlight shone through the windows onto the tables and chairs, making it seem particularly warm.
Su Wantang chose a seat near the window. As soon as she sat down, she looked up inadvertently and a look of surprise instantly appeared on her face. Her eyes widened and she quickly lowered her head.
Fu Yanxue looked at Su Wantang's guilty look and couldn't help but smile. She patted her shoulder gently and asked teasingly, "What are you doing?"
As she said this, Fu Yanxue was about to turn around to look.
Su Wantang quickly pulled her and shook his head, his eyes full of nervousness, and made a "hush" gesture to her.
A sweet voice fell into their ears.
"Dong Cheng, I really didn't expect that you would take the initiative to ask me out." The girl looked at Dong Cheng shyly, her face slightly red, her eyes full of shyness and joy.
Fu Yanxue's back stiffened, and she finally understood why Su Wantang didn't let her look back.
Dong Cheng didn't say anything, and the girl's voice continued to come with joy.
"My father said you are a very good person, but when I see you, you always say little. I think, maybe all good people are like you, not good at speaking, and they mostly speak with their actions."
"So I'm really happy that you asked me out today."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, Dong Cheng said seriously: "Comrade Zhou, I asked you out today because I want to make something clear to you."
Zhou Xinglan looked at Dong Cheng's sudden serious expression, and was slightly stunned. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Dong Cheng took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and continued: "Comrade Zhou, I'm sorry! It took me two days to find the time to tell you clearly. In fact, I already have a lover."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere seemed a little frozen, as if even the air had stopped.
Zhou Xinglan was stunned for a long time before he digested this matter.
Her face flushed red, as if she was angry. She clenched her hands into fists and asked, "Why didn't you explain it to my father at the beginning? Why did you let my father introduce you to me without knowing the whole story?"
