A Heartwarming Night

Chapter 279 A Heartwarming Night

"Wanli, Xiao Song, it's really hard to invite you two big Buddhas. I invited you three times and four times, but I finally invited you two..."

After all, Police Officer Hou was much older than the two of them. After getting acquainted with each other, he spoke a little more casually. When he saw the two of them, he immediately laughed and joked.

"You don't know how busy I have been recently. I haven't closed my eyes for three days. I'm so sleepy now. I don't even want to eat. I just want to sleep well."

Yun Wanli complained, but he said energetically: "Have you made a reservation for a restaurant? If not, I know a good barbecue..."

"I made a reservation for a Hunan restaurant, but it doesn't matter, just return it, just go to a place where you can make up your mind, and I'll be in charge of the bill today."

"That's fine, Song Ci, just drive to the house we went to last time." Yun Wanli waved his hand when he heard the words, and asked Song Ci to start the car.

The barbecue he was talking about was not the Dalong BBQ they often went to, but a whole sheep restaurant called Shangpin Roasted Whole Lamb. This was a restaurant that the two of them randomly found on the side of the road, but the taste was unexpected. good.

And although their family specializes in roasted whole lamb, other barbecues are also good, and the seafood is also very fresh.

Especially the oysters, each of which is the size of a palm, the meat is fresh and tender, whether it is steamed with mustard, or garlic with vermicelli, the taste is very good, and this is what Yun Wanli has always loved.

Song Ci didn't talk too much nonsense, he greeted the two of them to get in the car, and went straight to Shangpin Quanyang Restaurant.

The three of them came quite early, and there was no one in the store. Seeing the three of them coming in, the proprietress immediately greeted them enthusiastically.

"I'm inviting you two today. Just order what you want to eat, and you don't have to be polite with me." After sitting down, Hou Licheng spoke first.

"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."

Yun Wanli took the menu from the proprietress, and first ordered a roast leg of lamb, and then of course the oysters he was thinking of...

Song Ci ignored Yun Wanli, who was buried in the menu, but said to Hou Licheng, "Officer Hou, I need to trouble you about Wei Junsheng's matter, please take care."

"Don't worry, it will be done properly for you. I entrusted a friend in the archives, but it has been so long, and there used to be some paper files. It will definitely take some time to find Wei Junsheng's family. ..."

"That's fine, then I will trouble your friend, and I will treat him to dinner when I find someone."

"You don't have to be so polite. He is my old friend for many years. Just leave his affairs to me. You don't have to worry about it."

Hou Licheng hurriedly stopped the matter when he heard the words. He did his best to help Song Ci, but he didn't want him to thank his friends.

"I ordered it, what do you want to add?"

Yun Wanli interrupted the conversation between the two of them. He didn't ask Song Ci what was the matter. Since Song Ci didn't look for him, but instead looked for Hou Licheng, he naturally had his reasons, so he didn't have to ask about everything.

For a meal, the guests and the host enjoy themselves, they are all good talkers, and they will not let the atmosphere become cold.

The three of them chatted until almost ten o'clock before they were ready to pay the bill and go home after they were full of wine and food.

When paying the bill, it was said that Hou Licheng was paying, and it was Hou Licheng who was paying, Song Ci and Yun Wanli were not polite to him.

The three of them ate more than 700 yuan, which is not cheap, but it is also not expensive, especially Song Ci and Yun Wanli, both of whom are big-bellied men, ate a lot.

Because it is roasted lamb, the taste is relatively strong, so there is a dish of mint whistle candy on the counter for guests to freshen their breath.

When Song Ci saw it, he was not polite, grabbed a handful and put it in his pocket.

"What are you doing with so much?" Yun Wanli asked strangely seeing that he had a lot of money in his pocket.

He knows that Song Ci is not the kind of person who loves snacks, let alone sweets.

"Xiao Mayuan likes to eat this stuff." Song Ci said.

Before going out to eat a few times, Song Ci noticed that Xiao Mayuan liked this mint-flavored candy very much.

"You are really kind to this child." Yun Wanli said with some emotion after hearing this.

"It's a good match. If I hadn't found her biological parents, I would definitely adopt her and let her grow up with Nuannuan." Song Ci said with a smile.

The three of them came out of Quanyang Pavilion and went back to their respective homes. Song Ci didn't see them off, and drove straight to Yunlu by the lake. When they got home, it was nearly eleven o'clock.

Unlike the city center, most of the residents in Yunlu by the Lake are elderly people. After dinner at night, they would turn off the lights and rest early, so it was dark and very quiet.

Unlike the city center, at this time, many homes are still brightly lit and lively.

In order not to wake up the sleeping people in the house, Song Ci did not open the courtyard door and drove the car into the garage, but parked directly at the door.

Get out of the car, take a deep breath, the moonlight is very good tonight, the moon is as cool as water.

Opening a gap in the courtyard door, Song Ci "squeezed" in, and was taken aback. He saw a little man sitting on the steps of the door, holding a kitten in his arms, one person, one cat, four eyes stared straight at him.

And the living room behind her was still dimly lit, which made the shadow of the little man very long.

This person was Xiao Mayuan. She was wearing thick clothes and a thin quilt, wrapped up like a little penguin.

And what she is holding in her arms is Huang Lihong. Compared to the lively Nuannuan, this tabby cat obviously prefers this quiet two-legged beast, often lying at her feet or curled up in her arms inside.

"It's so late, you don't sleep, what are you doing sitting here?" Song Ci stepped forward in three steps.

"Hey." Xiao Mayuan picked up a piece of paper on the ground beside her and handed it to Song Ci.

"what?"

Song Ci glanced at it under the dim light, only to realize that it was a painting, a painting they went to play in the playground today.

The painting is very good, but no matter the characters or the plants, they are all boxy and very abstract.

"Did you draw this?" Song Ci asked.

Xiao Mayuan paused for a few seconds, nodded her head again and again, and made a humming sound in her mouth. She seemed a little satisfied with her small appearance, but she also seemed a little quick to praise me.

"The painting is good." Song Ci praised without hesitation.

Then he asked, "Are you waiting for me here just because you want to show me the painting?"

Xiao Mayuan paused for a few seconds, then nodded her head again.

Song Ci also looked at her carefully. It was cold outside at night, so he specially dressed her in thick clothes. Besides, she was covered with a thin quilt, wrapping her like a little penguin.

Huang Lihong was curled up between her legs, soft and warm, one person and one cat were in the winter night, the heat was rising, and they couldn't feel the slightest coolness.

Song Ci was not in a hurry to go in, but sat down next to her, took out whistle candies from his pocket, peeled them off, stuffed one into her mouth and one into his own.

"Children should go to bed early at night, otherwise they will not grow taller. Next time you want to show me your paintings, you don't have to wait for me. You can sleep well and show me the next day." Song Ci said softly.

"Baha, Baha~"

Feeling the coolness brought by the mints in her mouth, Xiao Mayuan chattered her mouth loudly, wondering if she listened to Song Ci's words.

Song Ci bowed his head sideways, bent slightly, and said with a bit of pride on his face: "This candy is called whistle candy, and it can be blown, like this."

Song Ci touched the sugar with his tongue to his lips, and blew twice, making a hissing sound.

Xiao Mayuan stared blankly for a while, then awkwardly pushed the candy to her lips, and then slapped, the mint candy fell from her mouth and fell onto Huang Lihong's head in her arms.

"Uh?"

Xiao Mayuan froze for a few seconds, then suddenly opened her mouth wide, bent over, and "bited" Huang Lihong's head.

"This is not good, I can't eat it, I still have it here."

Song Ci hurriedly stopped her with some amusement, why is this little guy so funny?
Song Ci peeled off another candy and stuffed it into her mouth. This time, Xiao Mayuan was much more careful, and soon made a booing sound.

She raised her face and blew twice at Song Ci, as if she was proudly saying, I'm smart, right?
Song Ci also boasted twice.

"Great, very nice."

"There's a lot more, I'll give you the rest."

Song Ci took out all the mints in his pocket and stuffed them into the small pocket of the small hemp round down jacket.

"But you can't eat too much at a time, you can only eat two a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon."

As Song Ci said, he got up and picked her up together with the quilt. Huang Lihong quickly jumped off her body and let out a meow.

Song Ci walked into the house, and said to Yun Chuyao who was standing behind the door with the door ajar: "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's really late, come back early next time, the two little guys have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yun Chuyao said, pointing to the sofa in the living room, and saw Nuan Nuan lying on the sofa, covered with a quilt, sound asleep.

It turned out that not only Xiao Mayuan was waiting for Song Ci, but Nuan Nuan was also waiting for him, but she couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep.

At this moment, Song Ci's heart was full of tenderness, he bowed his head and kissed Yun Chuyao lightly, and walked over to Nuannuan with Xiao Mayuan in his arms.

The little guy raised his arms and clenched his fists, putting them on both sides of his ears, in a posture of surrender. His fair and moist little face was flushed, his breath was gentle, and he was as quiet as an angel.

Even when he fell asleep, there was still a smile on his little face, and he didn't know what a good dream he had.

Song Ci noticed that there was also a painting on the small quilt on her chest.

If Xiao Mayuan's paintings are composed of countless color blocks, then Nuan Nuan's paintings are composed of countless colored lines, which are also very abstract.

Song Ci put down the little Ma Yuan in his arms, leaned over and kissed Nuan Nuan's flushed little cheek.

Then he said to Yun Chuyao who came from behind after closing the door: "Take the children to bed first, I'll take a bath."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Yun Chuyao said.

While the two were talking, Xiao Mayuan climbed onto the sofa and lay down next to Nuan Nuan, without taking off her clothes, pulled the quilt over her body, and did not forget to pat herself with her little hands, and then I closed my eyes.

Then--

Snoring, falling asleep in a second, faster than shutting down the computer.

Song Ci and Yun Chuyao looked at each other, and then they all laughed.

"I still want her to brush her teeth before going to bed." Song Ci said with some amusement.

Now it seems that it can only be counted.

So the two of them hugged them to the room one by one.
