Please allow me to push the time to twenty-four hours ago. After all, the story is supposed to start from that point. February 14th, Valentine's Day. The price of roses has increased as always, and the weather, like all northern cities, still exudes the indifferent coldness of the end of winter. Compared with the middle of winter, it is indeed indifferently cold. When it snowed heavily in December, the streets were full of people who couldn't find a taxi. Watching taxis whizzing by one after another without flashing lights, these anxious people on the roadside were always worried. A helpless smile will be exchanged. At that time, the city will be filled with a kind of warmth of mutual aid, although it is only temporary. But there is no such thing in February. The cold became less loyal to its duties because it was about to leave, and the people in the city also became impatient. Impetuousness can easily make people feel cold, and even scarlet roses on Valentine's Day can't save this situation.
It was on such a morning that Xia Fangran came to the door of "When Will You Come Again". She slammed the taxi door as usual and held her head high. The taxi driver thought with regret: Why is a pretty girl wearing such huge and scary sunglasses? So fierce. When Xia Fangran opened the door, she thought to herself: How stupid. Because she heard the music coming from the store, she hated the woman named Rene Liu who was singing.
Xiao Mu was mopping the floor, and the whole store was filled with the fragrance of detergent. "Here you go, Sister Fang." He said hello habitually, then put down the mop and went behind the bar, preparing to drink a cup of mocha, which Xia Fangran often drank, as usual. Xia Fangran raised the corners of her mouth slightly, smiling at Xiao Mu. But she forgot that it was impossible for Xiao Mu to see her perfunctory smile. Because of the cold, she pulled the high collar of her rust-red cashmere sweater below her nose so that no one could see her mouth. Xiao Mu secretly glanced at Xia Fangran, who was sitting in the corner. She was holding her chin and her upper body was as dignified as a plaster statue. Whenever he sees her sitting like this, Xiao Mu feels that he has forgotten that Xia Fangran is no longer the boss here, not two years ago.
Now she is just an ordinary customer, a regular customer at most. But he still called him "Sister Fang" and couldn't change his words. Frankly speaking, he didn't dare.
"Xiao Mu." Her voice came out from behind the collar of her sweater, muffled, but Xiao Mu could still hear something strange, almost gentle, in her tone today. "Xiao Mu, why don't you treat me today, okay?"
"Sister Fang." Xiao Mu said, "You always say that, but every time you leave, you still keep your money." Under the cup."
"Not today." Xia Fangran really smiled. Although the collar of the sweater still covered half of her face, and although she did not take off the exaggeratedly large pair of sunglasses, Xiao Mu knew that she was smiling, and he could hear it.
The mocha was served. Xia Fangran always felt that it was difficult for you to imagine something cold and warm under normal circumstances, but the smell of coffee was just such a thing. Then she told herself: This is the last mocha in my life. But even if she had reminded herself so solemnly, Mocha was still Mocha after all, and she would not taste any tragic taste just because it was the last cup. Xia Fangran was satisfied with this. She felt at peace. That kind of calm with a big tension hanging over your head. In any case, Xia Fangran thought, there is no future for those who panic. Calmness is a good sign, a good sign for anything.
Xiao Mu started mopping the floor again, his curved figure swaying at the edge of her sight. Xiaomu has grown up. Xia Fangran didn't know that a very motherly expression appeared on her face. Four years ago, she was the owner of the newly opened "He Ri Jun Come Again", and Xiao Mu was still a gangster with eight piercings in his left ear and a shocking tattoo on his back. It was a beautiful dusk. Xiao Mu stumbled in with a bruised nose and face. She immediately understood what was going on and hid him under the bar. Later, when she handed him a ham and egg sandwich leftover from the day's sale, he wiped the congealed blood on his face and said almost shyly: "Can you let me stay here? "Xiao Mu's face now doesn't have any trace of street aura. He exudes the smell of a young, clean, and even vigorous laborer. Every time she sees Xiao Mu, Xia Fangran feels that she is actually a kind person. She needed Xiaomu to remind herself of this.
"Sister Fang." Xiao Mu straightened up, "I saw Lu Yuping coming. He is across the road."
"Really?" Xia Fangran stood up, "Then I'm leaving, Xiao Mu. "Look," she pointed to the table, "I didn't put any money under the cup today." "Sister Fang, you have to come more often." .
"Xiao Mu, is your current boss a good person? Does he bully you?"
"It's okay. However, others are definitely not as good as Sister Fang."
"You are getting better and better." Xia Fangran said happily, and opened the glass door of "When will you come again".
"Sister Fang, walk slowly." Xiao Mu's voice passed through Liu Ruoying's singing.
"Xiao Mu, goodbye." After saying this, she realized that she had come specifically to say goodbye to Xiao Mu today.

"Zhuang Family Harmony , please recall, when was the last time you saw Xia Fangran and Lu Yuping?"
"It was around eight o'clock yesterday morning."
"Can you describe it in detail? The process, the details, what you said, what you did are all fine."
"There are no details. Sister Fang often comes over for coffee in the morning, and sometimes she has breakfast. Came here before it officially opened. She didn't like to meet other customers. She only had a glass of mocha yesterday. Then I saw Lu Yuping standing across the street, so she didn't leave. Tell them where they are going."
"Then do you think there was anything unusual about Xia Fangran's mood that day?"
"No.
"Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment, then he remembered Xia Fangran and said, "Xiao Mu, look, I didn't put any money under the cup today. There was a smile in her voice. Xiao Mu hadn't seen Sister Fang smile for a long time. This made Xiao Mu suddenly feel a little sad.
"Are you sure?" Nothing? "Interpol captain Xu Zhi quietly stared at the nineteen-year-old boy named Zhuang Jiamu.
"No! "Xiao Mu suddenly stood up and yelled, "I don't believe Sister Fang can kill someone! What's more, it's Lu Yuping again! Apart from her father, Sister Fang's only concern in the world is Lu Yuping. You, you must be mistaken! Sister Fang is a good person, she has suffered enough and is pitiful enough! Why do you leave so many bad people alone and only want to have trouble with her! ”
Xu Zhi still looked at Xiao Mu quietly. This silence made Xiao Mu sit down dejectedly. Xu Zhi remained calm and even lit a cigarette leisurely, and then threw it to Xiao Mu One. Then he saw from the way Xiao Mu lit a cigarette that he was a child who had been on the street, although his face and even his eyes were clean, without any trace of depravity.
"Zhuang Jiamu, you have a very good relationship with Xia Fangran, right? "
"Sister Fang saved my life. "Xiao Mu raised his face and stared bravely into Xu Zhi's eyes, "I was only fifteen years old at that time, and we, our boss, offended the "Drum Tower Gang". If I hadn't hid in Sister Fang's shop that day, if Sister Fang hadn't hidden me behind the bar, I would have been beaten to death by them. My best little brother was stabbed to death by them that day - we grew up together, and he blocked the knife for me..."
Sure enough. Xu Zhi smiled to himself He remembered the famous gangster fight four years ago - yes, the kid said, he was fifteen years old at that time.
"Did you stay in "When Will You Come Again" ever since? ? ”
“Yes. At first I was a waiter, but later Sister Fang believed in me and asked me to handle the cashier. "
"That is to say, you are the shopkeeper. ”
“Yes. "Xiao Mu smiled proudly. What a child. Xu Zhi thought.
"Zhuang Jiamu, when Meng Lan's case happened two years ago, you were an employee of 'He Ri Jun Comes Again', didn't you? Wrong? ”
“Yes. "Xiao Mu still spat out this syllable on guard.
"I remember you, Zhuang Jiamu - I also participated in the investigation of that case. Xu Zhi's eyes flickered, "When Xia Fangran was disfigured, you were a witness." ”
“Why do you ask this. "Xiao Mu winked warmly, even mischievously.
"Zhuang Mu. Xu Zhi said slowly, "You should understand." Not only bad people kill people.

In the early morning of February 14th, when Xia Fangran pushed When he opened the glass door of "When Will You Come Again" and smelled the smell of the detergent used by Xiao Mu to mop the floor from the store, at the other end of the city, Lu Yuping happened to be standing in the dark corridor of his apartment. The light morning light made him happy. Especially when he saw countless dust particles dancing softly in a beam of light. When he was a child, he thought this dance was very humble, but very charming. Now that he has grown up, he feels that this dance of dust is like a wonderful and tender peace. Then he laughed at himself, or rather he laughed at himself on behalf of his girlfriend Xia Fangran: Why are you so perverted. He knew that Xia Fangran despised these delicate little feelings, especially a man who always talked about these things.
In any case, Lu Yuping is very happy today. It wasn't because of Valentine's Day. In fact, he forgot that today was Valentine's Day at all. It was Xiao Luo who reminded him. Thirteen-year-old Xiao Luo is the daughter of his landlord. When Xiao Luo came to open the door just now, he said happily: "Brother Lu, happy Valentine's Day!" The fat little girl's voice was as sweet as the morning sunshine, "Is anyone going to watch "Lover" with you today? "Knot"? It's played by Zhao Wei and Lu Yi.
"After the Spring Festival, she seemed to have gained weight again, and her eyes became smaller. But her happy look still made Lu Yuping feel affection for her. He thought: This child will definitely become as chatty as her mother when she grows up. .
"Xiao Luo. Mr. Ding's voice came from the back room, "I just know nonsense." I didn’t even say thank you to Brother Lu. Then Mr. Ding came out and smiled at Lu Yuping: "Thank you for making up for her." She scored over 70 points in both mathematics and physics in this exam. "No, it should be." "Lu Yuping is a bit reserved. He is not very good at socializing. "It's Xiao Lu here. "At this time, Mrs. Ding also walked out of the back room. Standing with Mr. Ding, she really looked like a couple, but she was a bit bigger than the skinny Mr. Ding. She was very calm and only wore Autumn clothes and autumn trousers - it can be seen that they were newly bought for the Chinese New Year. "Xiao Lu," her lips were a strange orange color, probably because she was eating soybean curd, "come here and have some." ”
“No more trouble. Aunt. "Lu Yuping was even more reserved when facing Mrs. Ding, so he still turned his eyes to Mr. Ding's face, "Uncle Ding, I just want to say something. My job has been settled and I will move in early March after I have lived there for this month. ”
“Oh. Mr. Ding agreed, "But Xiao Lu, when you went home during the Chinese New Year, the sewer in your house was clogged once. It was very clogged. I couldn't fix it myself, so I had to find someone to clear it." Look at this—"
"I know, Uncle Ding. Lu Yuping smiled hastily and said, "You can deduct it from my deposit when the time comes." "Actually, he himself was not embarrassed. He subconsciously explained that he was just embarrassed on behalf of Mr. Ding who asked him for money. Although he himself knew that this was not necessary at all.
"Xiao Lu ," Mrs. Ding's voice came from inside, "It's a pity that once you move away, there will be no one to make up lessons for our Xiao Luo. ”
