They made an appointment to meet at a tea restaurant suitable for conversation in the evening. After taking their seats, they discovered that each other had arrived more than ten minutes earlier than the reservation time.
"Yunxiu, how about I order for you?" Lin Hao said.
"Okay." Yunxiu nodded in agreement.
"Waiter, please bring a piece of Honey Sauce Barbecued Pork , a piece of steamed fish head with chopped pepper, a piece of Shrimp Dumplings , a piece of Honey Sauce Barbecued Pork Buns , a bunch of freshly squeezed Sydney pear juice, um, one more..."
"That's it! Two people can't eat too much." Lin Hao was about to order something more when he was stopped by Yunxiu. Lin Hao remembered that the two of them used to eat like this. "Zhiqing" never wanted to waste it.
"Okay, let's order these first!" Lin Hao agreed, while Yunxiu sat there and looked at him with a half-smile.
"I guess you must like to eat these, you can't be wrong!" Lin Hao asked looking at Yunxiu's strange expression.
"How could you guess so accurately? You don't know how to learn psychology and you can even analyze what other people eat!" Yunxiu said with a look of disbelief.
Lin Hao looked at her and couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still held back. "No, no, I just have a feeling and want to try to see if it's accurate." Lin Hao knew very well what "Zhiqing" liked to eat, and it turned out that there was still no change.
"Ah, your feeling is so accurate, it will be difficult to keep secrets in front of you." Yunxiu teased with a deliberately raised tone.
Drinks and staple food had arrived one after another. Lin Hao quickly poured pear juice for her to cover up his subtlety. After the two of them each took a few bites, Lin Hao suddenly said:
"Yunxiu, I want to tell you something!" Lin Hao was still a little unsure in his heart, whether it was the right time to say it now.
"Well, tell me! Why do I feel like you are in a bit of trouble?" Yunxiu looked at him and asked.
"Yes, I really don't know how to speak, but I think you have the right to know the truth."
"The truth? What do you mean?" Yunxiu suddenly felt uncomfortable. In fact, over the years, although she has always been optimistic about life and others, she still has a strong sense of insecurity in her heart. After all, she needs to face everything independently.
"Don't be nervous. What I actually want to tell you is about some things between our two families, about my father and your father." Lin Hao quickly comforted him.
"Our two families? There won't be any grievances or grudges, right?" Yunxiu said half-jokingly.
"Actually, your father is in jail because he killed my father, Lin Chengdong, and he was the victim." Lin Hao said calmly.
Yunxiu opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth with her hands, looking completely unbelievable. "Then you knew it when we first met, right?"
"Yes, when you told me your father's name, but, Yunxiu, I just hope you can understand this, but I don't know it at the moment. I donāt hate your father because of this, let alone reject you because of it, do you understand what I mean?ā Lin Hao explained seriously, knowing that as long as he told the truth, it would definitely bring about short-term pain.
Yunxiu didn't make a sound, but quietly looked at the hot coffee in front of her, and continued to stir it back and forth with her hands, as if the sugar inside had never melted.
"Yunxiu, are you angry with me? I chose to tell you because I hope that we can be more honest and understand each other more deeply. I'm sorry, it may be a little hard for you to accept." Lin Hao looked at her and suddenly felt something in his heart. There was a feeling of regret.
"No, Lin Hao, thank you for telling me. I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. There is such a...fate between us. I didn't expect there would be such a big grudge between our parents." She just lowered her head. As he said this, he didn't look at Lin Hao at all. She felt that the mirror-like tabletop in front of her had condensed into frost, and a blur of mist rose. It turned out that tears had blurred her eyes, but she didn't notice it at all.
Lin Hao just looked at her like that. As a psychology practitioner, he was at a loss at this moment."Yes, Yunxiu, actually I didn't expect that we would have such a wonderful and helpless relationship, but I won't be affected by this. I hope we can... interact normally!"
"I It's okay, maybe this news is a bit sudden, I have to get used to it for a while, I really didn't expect it." Yunxiu said, wiping her tears, looking up and smiling slightly at Lin Hao. She didn't even know why this happened, why was she crying? She hadn't cried in front of others for a long time, and the most recent time was a few years ago, when her grandma passed away.
"Yunxiu, you won't blame me, right?" Lin Hao still looked at her uneasily.
"How could I blame you? I should know too. You, including everyone in your family, must have hated my father! I don't know how to say sorry to you!" Yunxiu knew in her heart that this matter was She couldn't be sorry, but she felt the need to apologize, for her father.
"Actually, your dad, there are reasons for many things. I don't hate him now, I just feel that if I could do it all over again, maybe he wouldn't make such a choice."
"You, are you really like that? Do you think so? In fact, I donāt know much about what happened back then. My grandma told me later that no matter what the reason was, he shouldnāt have done this. "
" Yes, I had hated it, but it had happened over the years. Now, I understand him and understand his years of repression, Yunxiu, I just hope that we can all move forward and not let the past close our hearts and imprison our..." Lin Hao did not continue, in fact, he What I want to say is "feelings".
"Of course, I'm very happy that you think so. This has always been my motivation." Yunxiu looked at him and said.
"I really appreciate your character. You are healthy and upbeat. Eat quickly! It's already cold." Lin Hao said, looking at the food that had already cooled down.
"It's all you, affecting the food experience again." Yunxiu said, her tears turning into a smile.
"Blame me, blame me, I will make it up to you in the next meal." Lin Hao also smiled along with Yunxiu's smile.
The two of them just laughed, cried, and laughed again. Returning to the topic of eating, Lin Hao once again did not express her desire to see her father.
When they had just finished eating and were about to get up and go out, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening when they suddenly received a call from Jiang Jianfeng.
"Xiao Hao, let me tell you something. I found out some information about the perpetrator Liu Lei, which is very valuable."
"Any information, please tell me."
"It's not easy to tell on the phone. Come over here." Letās go! Iām still in the team.ā
āOh, Uncle Jiang, have you eaten? Iāll take it to you.ā
"I ate it, you can come directly!" Uncle Jiang said simply.
"Okay!" Lin Hao said before packing two portions of steamed dumplings to take with him. Lin Hao drove Yunxiu home first and immediately drove to the police station.
"Uncle Jiang, let's eat something first. You must not have eaten anything seriously." Lin Hao said as he handed over the steamed dumplings when they met.
"Let's eat some instant noodles with them. You sit there first, and then I'll take another bite. What's the filling?" Uncle Jiang said and opened the instant food box.
"Beef stuffing, I know you like this, Uncle Jiang." Lin Hao replied.
"Okay, I'll eat a few first. There's some information here for you to take a look at first."
Lin Hao took it and took a look. It was some information about Liu Lei.
"Liu Lei, 44 years old, was released from prison in September 2008. In 2010, he opened a tea shop in the famous Yinjiang office building in Xiangyang District . The business has been good. Now there is a large store called "Yajian Tea" on the pedestrian street in the city. Garden "". It also has three branches in other districts. Lives in Dongting Huayuan, a high-end community in Xiangyang District. I have a son, 21 years old, studying at Nanjing University. "Lin Hao read the information about Liu Lei softly. Jiang Jianfeng finished eating quickly, and then said: "These are just some simple situations about him. The story behind it is what needs to be considered. "
" Uncle Jiang, it seems that you have found some information through your investigation. Please tell me. Lin Hao said anxiously.
