Chapter 349: A False Alarm
Five twenty in the afternoon! Finally, with the participation of Chu Tian and Li Sisi, everything was arranged.
The entire hall was decorated like a fairy tale world, adorned with bunches of balloons. The walls were also adorned with LED lights, and even four large characters were collaged.
Happy birthday, Xia Mo.
Not only that, rose petals were sprinkled on the ground, there was a large tower-shaped birthday cake nearly 1.5 meters high, and a large bouquet composed of thirteen hundred roses, with some white roses in the middle, pieced together to form the “Happy Birthday Xia Mo” four words.
Chu Tian turned on the switch, looked at all the blinking LED lights, couldn’t help smiling, turned them off, and said, “It’s not bad. The next step is to wait for my sister Xia to come back. Will she be back soon?”
“It’s almost there.” Bai Xiaochun said, “Sister Xia drives fast. If there is no case, she usually leaves work a little earlier. Normally, she will pick me up at the school gate at this time. I guess there will be another ten minutes. Sister will be back.”
Chu Tian nodded and said, “First, draw the curtains and close the door, don’t wait for Sister Xia to come back.”
Hearing what Chu Tian said, Song Xiaoya, Xiaoqiu, and the others directly closed the door of the hall and then closed the curtains on the windows and other places where there was light.
All of a sudden, the entire hall of the villa became pitch black.
……
Five forty in the afternoon!
Chu Tian and Bai Xiaochun were lying in front of the window, looking out through the curtains. They couldn’t help but wonder: “Baby, according to what you said, sister Xia should have come back by this time, right?”
“That’s right.” Bai Xiaochun lay innocently under Chu Tian’s arm, looked out, and said, “We arrive home at 5:30. Why hasn’t Sister Xia come back today?”
Oh, it’s broken!
Suddenly, Li Niannian seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said: “It’s broken. We have overlooked a problem.”
Um?
Hearing what Li Niannian said, Chu Tian and others hurriedly looked at Li Niannian.
Li Sisi hurriedly said: “What’s the matter, Li Niannian? What’s the problem?”
“Xia Mo is going to celebrate her birthday with her colleagues, isn’t she?” Li Niannian said, “On her side, sister, you and Chu Tian are still in Shanghai, and I have a meeting at the company, and the big baby is going to meet her friends. If she thinks about it, there is no one at home, and then, it is very likely that she will go to celebrate her birthday with her colleagues.”
“Eh…” Chu Tian said innocently, “No way, hey, Xiaoqiu.”
While talking, Chu Tian hurriedly looked at Xiaoqiu and said, “Did my sister Xia say to go home to eat at night?”
“Yes, boss.” Xiaoqiu said, “I called Ms. Xia at noon today, and she said in person that she won’t come back for lunch, but she will come back for dinner at night.”
“It may also be a change of mind.” Li Sisi said, “Maybe, it is really possible that she went to eat with my colleagues.”
“No one of us remembers her birthday, so she feels aggrieved in her heart, so it happens that there is no one to accompany her for dinner tonight, so she is likely to eat with her colleagues.”
“I’ll go. Please don’t.” Chu Tian said innocently, “If Sister Xia goes to spend time with her colleagues, then we will be in vain. Xiaoqiu, you should quickly call and ask about my Sister Niannian. What’s the situation?”
“Good boss.”
Xiaoqiu took out her mobile phone, found Xia Mo’s number, and then dialed it.
Soon, the phone was connected, and Xia Mo’s voice sounded, “Hello, Xiaoqiu.”
“Miss Xia.” Xiaoqiu said, “Are you working overtime today? You have already returned to the villa at this time. Why haven’t you come back today?”
“Oh, I worked on a case in the bureau.” Xia Mo said, “I’m about to go back.”
“That’s it.” Xiaoqiu said, “Then Miss Xia, what do you want to eat tonight?”
“Just make whatever you want.” Xia Mo said, “Anyway, I’m the only one at home tonight, so you can cook two random dishes.”
“Okay, I see. See you later.”
“Well, see you later.”
Seeing Xiaoqiu hang up the phone, Li Sisi couldn’t help but hurriedly say: “How about Xiaoqiu? What’s the situation with Xia Mo?”
“Miss Xia is still in the bureau now.” Xiaoqiu said, She’s preparing to come back, and she didn’t go out with her colleagues.”
Hearing what Xiaoqiu said, Chu Tian and the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, a false alarm.
Li Niannian said: “Yeah, it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer. It will take forty or fifty minutes for Xia Mo to come back from the police station. If there is a traffic jam, it may take an hour.”
“Just wait for a while.” Bai Xiaochun smiled, “As long as you don’t go outside to live with others.”
……
At the same time!
Inside the Haicheng Police Station, Xiao Liu entered the office carrying a gift box, looked at Xia Mo, who was hanging up her phone, and couldn’t help saying, “Hey, Captain Xia, why haven’t you left today?”
“Oh, I’m about to leave.” Xia Mo smiled and said, “What did you mention, a gift for your fiancée?”
“Wine.” Xiao Liu said with a smile, “My wife and her cousin are celebrating their birthday tonight, so I prepared two bottles of red wine. Alas, it’s really annoying. When I think about other people’s birthdays every year, I feel depressed.”
What?
Xia Mo asked strangely: “What you said, who doesn’t celebrate their birthday every year?”
“I won’t.” Xiao Liu said helplessly, “I was born on the twenty-ninth day of February, and I can only celebrate my birthday once every four years.”
Xia Mo stared blankly at Xiao Liu, then burst out laughing and said, “You, is your birthday on February 29th?”
“No.” Xiao Liu said, “Others have four birthdays, and I can only have one. My mother is the same. She can give birth to me one day earlier or one day later. She has to be born on February 29th, and I have no choice.”
“Can you blame your mother?” Xia Mo smiled, “Your mother also wants you to come out sooner, but you are stuck in your mother’s abdomen. What can she do?”
