The cold wind was blowing sharply. When I raised my head, I glanced at the moon shrouded in clouds and mist, revealing half of its face. It quietly opened a corner of the gauze curtain in the mist and haze, and spread out a small piece of transparent ink. sky.

Jiang Mo was allergic to the uninformed romantic atmosphere. He scoffed at first and was too lazy to move. He only slightly moved the phone from his ear, listening to the footsteps mixed with current interference to distinguish the near and far, and waited until he confirmed this again and again. Breathing and rustling sounds gradually came closer from behind, and then she turned around in surprise and saw Shao Jie bursting into her sight with a smile on his face from a distance. After shaking for a while, she was finally able to hang up the phone and grab a full cup of food. With his arms, the footsteps that hurriedly chased Jiang Mo returned to slowing down as usual. His soft words were caught in the cold wind and murmured into Jiang Mo's collar.

"I thought you didn't want to pay attention to me, Officer Jiang."

The pale moonlight seemed to have been finally blown away by the wind, and the obstacles of layers of clouds and fog were blown away. It passed over the eaves of different heights, passed through the dry branches and fences, and fell softly on Shao Jie. profile——

...and the bag of chestnut, corn, sweet potato, persimmon, milk tea and hawthorn rolls he held in his hand.

Looking at this posture, it looked like he had just wandered around the streets of the night market and spent a lot of money. His majestic face was filled with the oily joy of having gained a lot, and he strolled up to Jiang Mo innocently and slowly.

Jiang Mo stared at the unwiped chili sauce on Shao Jie's mouth and blinked. He paused for two seconds. Unable to bear it, he took out the clean paper ball in his pocket that she had rubbed into pieces and wiped it away. Then looking at the blush rising rapidly on Shao Jie's cheeks, he raised his eyebrows in hindsight, lowered his head and turned away from the burning gaze of the landlord's silly son, and picked up a plastic bag hanging on his little finger. Ready to help him share the burden: "Are you here to buy new year's goods? Can you eat all the food you bought so much..."

"I bought these for you... I just finished eating at the casserole noodle shop at the intersection of the night market. I also brought you casserole porridge, which is in my pocket." Shao Jie first blushed, and carefully crouched down to hide. Jiang Mo stretched out his arm to help, but was rejected by her impatiently for a moment. Then he picked out a relatively light milk tea bag and handed it to her hand. He raised his eyebrows and met Jiang Mo's slightly raised and puzzled gaze. , "Aren't you going back to the hospital? I guess you don't have time to eat. I'll hang up the hanging bottle later. These snacks will be convenient to eat."

"...Yu Luo called you, right?"

Jiang Mo blinked his eyes, and after a moment's thought, he suddenly understood that Comrade Yu, the great angel in white, couldn't see her living alone. Her virtue was not a day or two. She finally caught an unlucky guy who came to her door and worked hard without complaining. She just wanted to take advantage of her. At this time, he died beside Jiang Mo.Jiang Mo frowned and sighed. Seeing Shao Jie sweating all over his forehead in the cold night wind, he felt really uneasy, "Where did she get the mobile phone number from... I'm just getting an acupuncture hook." Regarding the water issue, this fuss has caused you a lot of trouble. How about later——"

"I'm not here because of Doctor Yu's call."

Shao Jie interrupted Jiang Mowu's thoughts about repaying his debt. He caught Officer Jiang's evasive gaze beforehand and stared at her eyes intently: "I have a day off today and have been training at the base in the afternoon. , I just wanted to take this opportunity to go to the hospital with you, and I never thought it would be a trouble..."

He was amused and his eyes flashed brightly: "But I came to this night market near the city bureau mainly because I wanted to buy this casserole porridge with kelp and pork ribs, and try my luck to see if I could take you back to the hospital. , I didn’t expect to meet him by chance.”

Shao Jie's three or two sentences were pure and sincere.

Jiang Mo had no way to refuse and distance himself. Looking at his wet eyes, he couldn't help but feel soft. Seeing the pitiful face in front of him, he had half-truthfully prepared himself to burst into tears whenever he was rejected. I was ready to cry, and I had to hesitate and swallow it back into my stomach with the prevarication on my lips. I sighed again resignedly, paused for a long time, and patted Shao Jie, who was struggling to raise his mobile phone to make an appointment on the queuing website. He took out the car keys and stuffed them into his hand.

"You have a driver's license, right?" Jiang Mo sniffed and grabbed the colorful decorative ribbon on Shao Jie's coat: "It's not easy to take a taxi at this time around the city bureau, and the queue will take half an hour to start - no matter how late it is, Go back to the hospital for a while, Doctor Yu can do more than just curse. Come on, my car is in the yard and I will be your coach for free."

————The joy of gaining the upper hand in the push-pull confrontation filled Shao Jie’s clear and jade-like handsome face with great joy.

But he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders at the moment, so he didn't want to be too obvious about it, so he just took advantage of the opportunity to place a bunch of miscellaneous snacks in the back seat of the car, happily grinned at the corner of his mouth to the back of his head, and hunched his shoulders. Before getting into the driver's seat, he rubbed the side of his face that made his cheekbones sore, cleared his dry throat, shrugged his stiff shoulders, and eagerly grasped the steering wheel.

"Adjust your seat. Isn't it uncomfortable for you to be curled up?" Jiang Mo slowly picked up the seat belt, glanced at Shao Jie carefully, warned him first, and then raised his gaze, looking at the child's heroic and heroic expression with breathless concentration. , suddenly became a little worried about the safety of his life and property.

"...Well...do you know how to get started?"

"Yes. One step, two hooks, three hits, four beeps——"

Shao Jie solemnly turned his head to look at Jiang Mo, blinked firmly and reliably, and then pretended to be calm and turned his nervous head back stiffly, following the instructions of the driving school coach and the examination room instructor word for word. Taught him, he made preliminary preparations for driving on the road - he even murmured the starting formula halfway through, but did not forget to implement the key point of "whistle warning" to the end, raised his arm and knocked directly on the road with a "pop" sound. In the middle of the steering wheel, I then pricked up my ears and heard the sound of horns spiraling up into the sky from the courtyard of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I turned my head again and looked silently and expectantly at Officer Jiang, who was leaning on the edge of the car door with his face covered, speechless and choking. I waited until she couldn't finish her words and even nodded her praises against her will, then continued to read the second half of the jingle that I must memorize when learning to drive: "Five looks, six looses, seven lifts, eight releases -"

"...The headlights are not on." Jiang Mo couldn't bear it anymore and said something before Shao Jie raised his foot to refuel. Then he stared closely at Shao Jie as he hesitantly moved his right hand to reach for the lever. He raised his hand to hold it down. He grabbed his arm that was about to move, and after repeated attempts with his eyes to no avail, he simply put away all the bullshit euphemisms: "I didn't let you turn on the wipers, the headlight knob is on the lower left side of the instrument panel - it's not foggy, it's raining, it's not on the highway, why are you turning on high beam?" …Don’t look at me, look at the road.”

----

Although this slightly nervous one person and one car is still awkwardly adjusting, fortunately, Shao Jie has a good driving experience. He drove through two intersections cautiously and almost got the hang of it, and the tangled tightness that could not be concealed on his face was relieved. He drove a lot, obediently maintaining a steady speed on the smooth main road, and even took some time to glance at Officer Jiang.

Jiang Mo had been feeling tired since he came out of the police force. He could only hold on to the coach's spirit until Shao Jie finally recognized the way and turned the car towards the bus route directly to the Central Hospital. He affirmatively gave Shao Jie his approval. After a quick glance, he let out a long sigh of relief as if his merits had been fulfilled, curled up in the passenger seat, and looked aimlessly at the empty road.

Shao Jie's concerned eyes flickered, and his brows were furrowed in worry. He tried his best to avoid the specific case-related matters: "Didn't you say that everyone has been caught and we can just go back to the team for interrogation? The result...isn't it very good?"

Jiang Mo didn't say anything at first. His eyelids that were drooping slightly due to sleep trembled and then he raised them. He was silent for a few seconds. He took out the rag from the glove box and wiped the breath on the windshield. He adjusted the air outlet of the air conditioner and reluctantly said calmly. Said: "...The case of falling from a height is almost the same as the case of stabbing someone with a knife. It is estimated that the report will be issued tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you can see it on the news. But -"

Shao Jie drove in silence. When he heard the words, he suddenly stopped here. He frowned slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Mo wilted a little, licked the dry skin on his lips, sat upright, relying on the dull stinging pain on his shoulder and back to stay awake, and murmured: "This is an expected result. , but still a bit..."

The sense of helpless loss.
