(Seven)
This kiss came unexpectedly, but the person who was kissed didn't show much helplessness, and in the end, he stretched out his hand and pulled him back into his arms.
Li Bai staggered forward, inadvertently deepening the kiss, and the smell of smoke spread even more heavily.
The tongues of the two followed their master's temperament, and they provoked and entangled each other unyieldingly. The sound of kissing water was heard intermittently in the already quiet alley.
"... Is my kiss more useful than cigarettes?" After a long time, he laughed.
Li Bai's expression returned to his previous calm, only his brows were slightly frowned, "Why don't you ask?"
"You will naturally speak when you want to speak."
"I have to say that's a boring and corny answer."
"Chengrang, my mother is watching a series recently, and I learned it when I came home last week."
"..."
Han Xin put his arms around his shoulders naturally, as if an ancient emperor ordered his troops to immediately hug a certain concubine, revealing the confidence that he would not be pushed away or accused of sexual harassment. The only difference was that he was favored by him. "Concubine" did not show the ecstasy of flying to the branch tomorrow, but a look of indifference and disgust.
"Let's go, that kid saw you running out, and was very worried about you," Han Xin took advantage of his size to forcefully lead him away, "You have to go back and explain to others."
Not knowing if it was his own illusion, Han Xin heard Li Bai sighed softly.
The two went back to clean up the mess Li Bai had just made, and then helped gather the children in the front yard to queue up to receive gifts.The children came forward one by one, picked out their favorite gifts, then turned and ran away to join the torrent of playing in the courtyard.
Walking over, I didn't know if I didn't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. I didn't know what happened in this short hour. Pei Qinhu had already hit it off with that female college student, Ah Li, and they were chatting very passionately at this moment.Every time you say something, the woman is amused from time to time.
Then Pei Qinhu was slapped from behind by Lu Bu.
"Why are you talking so happily? Let's go!"
Li Bai: "..."
He really deserves to be the number one male cancer in city A, who has no eyesight and wants to marry a wife.
Pei Qinhu smiled awkwardly at the girl, and after the two said goodbye briefly, the police officers climbed into the leaving police car one by one.
After the car started, Pei Qinhu's face was full of spring that had not yet dissipated, and he said seriously: "I think my spring is coming."
Han Xin rolled his eyes, and threw a heavy blow with disdain: "We talked for so long, did you leave someone's contact information?"
Pei Qinhu: "..."
One minute later, Brother Pei's miserable wailing came from the police car.
"Put me down! Stop—!"
There is also the shock of Lu Bu's dominance of everything: "What are you yelling about? We have passed three traffic lights, fate is destined, it is either cool or bright, shut up!"
"I don't want 'another village'! I want 'this village'!"
"Stop yelling and gag your mouth!"
Li Bai has the most unique painting style among this group of people. He squinted at Han Xin and asked solemnly, "Why are you so proficient?"
"what?"
"How long have you known each other? You know that you need to leave someone's contact information. You used to do this often?"
Han Xin: "..."
"Ok?"
Fortunately, the Korean team has been on the battlefield for a long time. At the critical moment, the Jedi counterattacked and beat back: "Are you jealous?"
Li Bai: "..."
So this tug-of-war temporarily ended with 1:1.
Back in the office, the coffee on the seat is undoubtedly completely cold, in stark contrast to the empty cups that colleagues enjoy comfortably.
Li Bai's stomach condition has not been particularly good in the past few years. The main reason is that he has not made three meals normally, so he usually does not drink iced coffee or cold coffee to commit suicide.
So Li Bai pushed the coffee aside, opened the drawer, and planned to reunite with the three-in-one brothers who fell out of favor after a long absence.And at this moment, a big hand held down his finger that was about to touch the instant coffee.
Before he could turn his head, Han Xin handed over a cup of hot coffee with his other hand and put it on the table vigorously.Han Xin stood behind Li Bai, with his arms one left and one right. Coincidentally, he used this subtle form to encircle the person sitting on the chair—what it looked like—in his arms.
At the same time, it automatically shielded the shocked and strange gazes of the colleagues around it. In the silent office, auditory hallucinations of the brain crackling and then crashing, and the pink bubbles kept bubbling and shattering appeared.
Li Bai stretched out his hand to explore the body of the paper cup without changing his expression, it turned out to be still hot.
"Where did it come from?"
"It was called on the road just now. The one in the bureau must be cold. Can I still drink it? No."
"..."
It's a pity that Han Xin always has a supernatural ability that when Li Bai is slightly moved, he successfully kills all his previous efforts, so he continued, uncontrollably: "I even ordered lunch and filled in your phone number. I'll be here in a while. Help me." Send it to the office, thank you."
Before he could say a word of thanks, he was swallowed alive. Seeing the back of Han Xin leisurely pacing back to the office, Li Bai was filled with righteous indignation and closed the drawer heavily!
To say that this police station is really weird, nothing happens during work hours, but accidents always happen during the shifts, which makes the rest plan go to waste time and time again.After returning to the police station all afternoon, Li Bai was soaked in cumbersome documents, dealing with cut-scene projects that his immediate superiors were too lazy to look over and push down for his subordinates to do human identification. I went to Han Xin’s office and had a lunch with him, and there was nothing unusual about it—Li Bai really didn’t realize that Han Xin’s words meant inviting him to eat together, so he put his bag and was about to leave. Pulled back.
He said, "Sit down and eat together."
"?"
Han Xin: "? Why are you staring blankly?"
"So you just asked me to bring it over and let's eat together?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"..." SB, you are the only one who finds it obvious.
Then the refreshing effect of coffee kicks in.Li Bai held his breath until he got off work, then stood in front of the empty parking space in a daze.
He suddenly realized that he came directly from Han Xin's house today, and the memory of "unbearable to look back" came back, and Li Bai's face was strangely hot.
Coincidentally, Han Xin also came out of the bureau at that time, grabbed his collar very skillfully and dragged him away.
"Confused? Get in the car."
"Let me go...!"
"Your things are still in my car, Officer Li."
"..."
Han Xin pushed him into his car while he was in a daze, and fastened his seat belt for him thoughtfully. Then he found that Li Bai's whole body was tense, his eyes were vigilant, and he was staring at him with a strange expression.
Han Xin didn't ask any questions, and got into the driver's seat to start a new topic: "Someone recommended me a new store, and tonight we..."
"Take me home." Li Bai said firmly.
Han Xin was stunned for a moment: "You don't want to try..."
"Take me home." Li Bai repeated it again, word for word.
"..." The atmosphere became a little stiff under the confrontation between the two. After a long time, Han Xin seemed to admit his disadvantage, and his tone was a little helpless: "Okay, then you remember to have dinner."
Li Bai didn't answer him, but turned his head in silence.Just as the afterglow of the setting sun fell, Li Bai's whole body was covered with a thin layer of golden light, making his facial features sharp and angular. Under his black hair, his emotions were gradually hidden and could not be seen clearly.
Han Xin started the car, and the only time he saw Li Bai's lips move along the way was probably a proof that he had wanted to say something.
He drove the car to the gate of Li Bai's residential area with ease, Han Xin thought for a while and asked, "Which building?"
"18."
"Good people do it to the end, I'll take you downstairs."
Li Bai hummed, as if he was a little tired and didn't want to talk anymore.
Han Xin's mind was running at high speed thinking about a question: What did I do wrong to provoke him?If you were not doing well just now, you will change your face if you say so.
"Are you sure you can do it alone?"
Li Bai unfastened his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.
"Hey...!" Han Xin looked at his back and couldn't help but want to stop him, "Remember to have dinner."
Li Bai stopped in his tracks, tapped his forehead with some headaches, and said helplessly, "Get lost."
Li Bai stared at the number on the phone, his thoughts went blank following the beep.
The phone was picked up suddenly, and the familiar voice of the man on the other side was impatient and impatient: "Hello? Who is it?" Apparently the caller picked up without paying attention, and Li Bai guessed that he was busy.
"Dad, our captain Lu Bu wants to investigate someone."
"..." Mr. Li was silent for a while, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Your sister said you hit a home run, how is it? Did you expose it?"
"...Dad, I'm asking you to help me..."
Mr. Li pretended to be deaf: "Are you wearing//covers?"
Li Bai has nothing to do. Knowing that his father has such a temper, even if he tells him that he has been kidnapped and will soon be ripped off, if he doesn't ask him what he wants to know, he will ignore you, "No exposure."
"So it's up?"
"..."
"What's the matter, are you still satisfied? When will you take the other party home?"
"……dad!"
"Ah? You know, it's not easy to check people? You just tell me your name in a while. Let's not talk about digressions, let's get down to business, how do you feel about that, that Han...what's the matter, can he do it?" Huh? Didn't realize you were an Omega when I went to bed, he wouldn't be only twelve centimeters, would he?"
"Dad, I have a headache today. I won't tell you. I'm going to die." Li Bai really didn't lie. I don't know why I have a severe headache today.So when dealing with his father, he was justified.
"Hey wait—"
The excitement and thrill of calling his dad every time is as exciting and thrilling as walking through the hail of bullets unscathed.Moreover, Mr. Li is a serious double-standard dog. He only has a strong sense of time for others, and cares about time to the second level, but for himself, others are never allowed to rush.For example, a few weeks ago, Li Bai was asked to arrive at the company at 08:30 to pick up things. If Li Bai was late for a second or a month, he would not even think about having pocket money, and he would also receive a scolding incidentally. Such things as seeking money and killing one's life, the stalk that Han Xinxin used to mock him may be about to come true.
"But when you asked me out, you were often late!" Li Bai once protested aggrievedly.
Mr. Li was arrogant, looked at himself with contempt for all sentient beings, and then said word by word: "Because I have money."
It's just a hooligan professional!
Li Bai angrily threw his phone on the sofa and began to undress to go into the bathroom to take a shower.Before throwing the clothes into the washing machine, Li Bai felt in his pockets, but he really took out something.
A small card with pictures on it, and five hand-folded stars in transparent plastic bags.
"..." After thinking for a moment, Li Bai reckoned that Xiao Yu secretly stuffed it into his pocket.There are two people drawn on the card, one tall and one short, probably of himself and him. The five paper stars were not folded with special origami. From the outside, they should be reusable by cutting waste newspapers into long strips... maybe Xiaoyu and that girl gave him a gift together.
Li Bai put the things on the table, turned and walked into the bathroom.
——The reason why Han Xin set the ringtone of his cell phone so badly is because he can almost fall asleep as soon as he touches the pillow, so the bad ringtone is not enough for him, who has trouble getting up, goes outdoors, dies outdoors and wants to face-saving. necessary.
So this time he was also successfully woken up.
The bedside clock reads one o'clock in the middle of the night.The sound of howling ghosts and wolves from the mobile phone echoed throughout the empty villa.
Han Xin struggled to get up, glanced at the phone, and immediately recovered.
"Li Bai"
He hurriedly picked up the phone and rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong?"
But the other side hung up immediately.
"Hello?" Han Xin didn't react, and looked at the screen suspiciously a few seconds later.
Did you make a typo? ...
But the next moment he couldn't think so.
Eight missed calls, all from the same person.Li Bai has been calling since it was past twelve o'clock until the ringtone woke him up, but he hung up the moment he picked it up.
Han Xin’s rare friends who make bad friends—naturally because the family is also rich, no one is too lazy to frame anyone, and everyone has a very correct attitude—also often do this kind of boring pranks in the middle of the night, but since Han Xin has developed a habit of sleeping The habit of temporarily blocking them before, the annoyance of having itchy teeth and not being able to crawl along the phone line to another continent to beat people came to an abrupt end.
But Li Bai was different from those heartless dudes. Han Xin thought about his state today, and suddenly a cool breeze rose from the bottom of his heart, and he jumped out of bed in the next second.
He had to look at Li Bai's information given by his father, which indicated which building Li Bai lived in.
Ten minutes later, Han Xin stood in front of Building 10 18 and slammed on the door—the doorbell had been pressed countless times to no avail.Called countless times in the car, but no one answered.
"Li Bai, open the door!"
This floor was frighteningly gloomy and extremely weird. Han Xin had been making noise outside for five or six minutes, but no one from the family came out to scold him for yelling in the middle of the night.
...There can't be only one family living on this floor.
Thinking of this, Han Xin frowned and slammed the door again.
"Li, Bai!"
Still no response, Han Xin cursed, kicked the door hard, and then forced himself to calm down and unlock the electronic lock at Li Bai's house.
It is an electronic combination lock.
"..." Han Xin struggled for a long time, and finally put his hand into his pocket, and took out a stack of well-packed evidence collection papers—fingerprint cards, carefully pasted the number keys, and then picked it up, and it immediately showed that four numbers were pressed. most frequently.
Then he pressed the four numbers "di di di di di di di di di di di di dii".
"drop--"
The door opened.
Han Xin rushed in hastily and found that the lights in the living room were not turned off... No, lights were on everywhere in the room.
Li Bai's apartment is very clean and tidy. It looks like a model apartment in a commercial building carefully furnished with meticulous care.The apartment has two bedrooms and one living room, one larger one seems to be decorated as a study room, and the other smaller one...it should be Li Bai's bedroom.
Han Xin stepped into Li Bai's room in three steps, and found that there was no one there.The small room was connected to the balcony, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were not closed, and the outside wind came in, blowing the curtains wildly.
There is no anti-theft net on the balcony.
Han Xin's heart seemed to miss a beat. He ran to the balcony, almost half paralyzed on the railing and looked down.
But what can you see?The beautiful night scene with ever-burning lights in a high-end residential area after one o'clock in the morning?The city center with tall buildings in the distance?
First of all, Han Xin confirmed that his five senses were normal, and then tried his best to probe down. With the help of bright street lights, he was sure that there was no dead body at the bottom of the building.
His hands were trembling a little, he took out his cell phone and dialed Li Bai again.
This time, he heard a faint bell ringing from somewhere in the room.
Han Xin's eyes slowly fell on the wardrobe in the room.
Only then did he realize that the wardrobe in this bedroom did not match the whole, it was too big.It is a sliding-door wardrobe with two sets of cabinets, and the corners are barely attached to the door frame. If you insist on making a wardrobe of this size, it should be placed in the large bedroom next door.Next door, however, is a study.
Han Xin vigorously opened the closet, and the person sitting inside was leaning against the cabinet board. He discarded the ringing mobile phone aside, and plugged earphones into both of his ears—the other mobile phone was connected to it, and it was frighteningly quiet. In his room, Han Xin clearly heard the buzzing music in the earphones. He did not believe that Li Bai was really poor enough to afford a branded in-ear earphone, so the reason for the sound leakage should be that he turned the volume down. turned up to maximum.
In an instant, Han Xin felt his forehead congested, and with nameless anger, he roughly grabbed Li Bai's collar and dragged him to the bed behind him.
"Which fucking song are you singing?!"
Li Bai didn't answer, curled up in a ball on the bed, Han Xin was still angry, didn't notice his strangeness, and then blurted out cursing.
"Why are you hanging up the phone? Why are you calling me so many times when you want to hang up? Are you kidding me?! Ah?"
It wasn't until Li Bai closed his eyes and hummed that Han Xin's barrage of shells flew all over the place and stopped abruptly.
"……What’s wrong with you?"
The person on the bed clutched his upper abdomen, his face pale.
Han Xin quickly glanced around and saw a half-drunk cup of coffee by the bedside, and a three-in-one packaging bag lying on the floor.
"...Have you had dinner yet?" His tone was frighteningly cold.
Li Bai didn't say a word, his face was expressionless, he didn't know whether it was guilt or numbness.
"Drinking coffee on an empty stomach in the middle of the night, do you want to die?"
At this moment, Han Xin's fury finally reached its peak.
But Han Xin's outrage is not manifested in form, but he will be calmer than before.
He got out of the bedroom first and rummaged through the apartment, looking for stomach medicine.But he couldn't find it no matter how hard he searched, finally Han Xin found a new unopened box of stomach medicine in the drawer under the coffee table.
Looking up, there is a small card and five paper stars on the table.
"..."
Han Xin didn't have time to look at it, so he quickly brought a glass of water, went in and dragged him up from the bed.
"Take medicine."
Li Bai finally came back to his senses, poured two pills into his mouth, and took another sip of water.
Han Xin was patient and said softly, "Why are you calling me?"
"..."
"You still beat seven or eight, and you have to wake me up and play tricks on me? The door doesn't come to open, how do you know I can come in?"
"..." Li Bai raised his head slowly, and said the first sentence of the night: "How did you get in?"
"I pried it open."
"..."
"Are you hungry? You must be hungry? Do you want to try my handicraft or I will call you a midnight snack."
"I……"
"Okay, I'll give you a discount today, let you be Chef Han's first experiencer."
Han Xin stood up while speaking, but was held back by Li Bai.
"I..." Li Bai swallowed, "I couldn't sleep, I dreamed of something."
"Have a nightmare?"
Li Bai did not deny it.
"Fear?"
Li Bai immediately denied it this time: "No."
Han Xin laughed teasingly, "Did you deny it so quickly, are you afraid I might misunderstand?"
"I don't want to dream about those things anymore, so I don't want to sleep."
"Then you have to eat first." Suddenly, Han Xin stretched out his hands, picked him up by the waist, and turned around.
"!What are you doing--……!"
"I'm going to cook porridge. If you have anything to say, sit in the dining room and talk slowly."
A few minutes later, there were sparse movements in the kitchen. Li Bai was put down by Han Xin, and he sat on a chair in the dining room and watched the busy figure inside.
He had an ominous premonition: "Can you cook?"
"Is it possible to order takeout every day in such a strict school? Of course, I have to find a way to be self-reliant. I still remember the experience ten years ago."
"..." Li Bai's stomach was no longer throbbing and convulsing, but he still subconsciously covered his stomach, as if mourning for it in advance.
"Come on, what did you want to say just now, don't speak too loudly," Han Xin shouted from the kitchen, "I can hear pretty well."
"You said you would wait until I wanted to say it." The subtext was that I would pick and choose what to say.
"Ah."
"That boy...Xiaoyu's father has been found."
"So what if you find it? You don't want to send him back to give him a second drink, do you?"
"No...he's dead."
Han Xinsheng congee's movements paused, and he turned around slowly after a long time.
He walked up to Li Bai with a bowl, sat down, and pushed the porridge over: "Eat it. How do you know he's dead?"
"I just checked the news on the Internet. Three months ago, there was a long-dead man's body found in a township in L City, P Province.... His son and Lao Tzu were carved out of the same mold, and then...he died of poisoning."
"Why did you suddenly find out about the news from three months ago?"
Li Bai lowered his head and took a sip of porridge in silence.A series of responses means: I don't want to answer your question.
"...Okay, what's next? I read the case file when you sent me over. His father was just a poor alcoholic. Who would poison him? He must have bought cheap fake wine and mixed it with poison to poison himself. died."
"I want you to keep some things for me, but don't touch them or look at them yet."
Han Xin shrugged, "You called me so many times just for this?"
"...not all, shall we skip this topic?" Li Bai pointed to the things on the table in the dining room, "These two."
"Just a small card and...five paper stars?"
"Ah."
He just didn't know who to call in the middle of the night when he needed it.
If Han Xin didn't answer, the more he wanted to fight.Still thinking, why not pick up?Inexplicably adding to the illusion of being left behind.But when the other party finally picked up, Li Bai didn't know the meaning of his call.
Everything he's been doing tonight with his migraine is part reason, part instinct, and the instinct part he can't explain.
"I see. Go back to bed and lie down after drinking. At worst, I'll help you black out a day's vacation tomorrow."
"Need not."
"Then eat quickly and go to sleep."
Han Xin felt that Li Bai was split.
Others' heartlessness is real, but his is fake.
It doesn't matter if you don't want others to worry, or you want to hide your true self.
He is a combination of sunshine and gloom, a person who may jump in front of himself in embarrassment, or a fragile person who shows weakness in front of him late at night.His body seemed to be wrapped in a dense mist, with countless threads and unfathomable depths.
But Han Xin does not mind such a transformation.because……
"Let me tell you, your home must be equipped with an anti-theft net within three days."
Han Xin stood by the bed, looking at the person who had climbed into the bed and got into the bed, bossing around in an annoyed manner.
Li Bai gave a perfunctory "Yes" and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go back? Or come up and sleep together."
After he finished speaking, he regretted it. In the next second, Han Xin rushed forward, took up half of the bed, and swept away two-thirds of the quilt, and asked shamelessly, "What did you say?"
"...Didn't you fucking come up already?"
"Okay, sleep, I'll let you go tonight, sleepy."
Li Bai turned his back on him in disgust.
"Isn't your bed too small? Are you a man? A man should sleep in an invincible bed, the kind where you can't fall off no matter how you roll."
Li Bai finally replied, and there was no more sound.
"I've slept in narrower ones."
He seemed to be asleep.
"..." Han Xin clicked his tongue, finally got up, and forcibly turned him over to face him.
Then he pecked the other party's mouth, turned off the light and went to sleep contentedly.
——But Han Xin doesn't mind such a change, because he knows that he has stepped into Li Bai's safe zone, and only Li Bai in the safe zone is the real one.

Li Bai has the most unique painting style among this group of people. He squinted at Han Xin and asked solemnly, "Why are you so proficient?"

Li Bai didn't answer him, but turned his head in silence.Just as the afterglow of the setting sun fell, Li Bai's whole body was covered with a thin layer of golden light, making his facial features sharp and angular. Under his black hair, his emotions were gradually hidden and could not be seen clearly.
Han Xin started the car, and the only time he saw Li Bai's lips move along the way was probably a proof that he had wanted to say something.
He drove the car to the gate of Li Bai's residential area with ease, Han Xin thought for a while and asked, "Which building?"
"18."
"Good people do it to the end, I'll take you downstairs."
Li Bai hummed, as if he was a little tired and didn't want to talk anymore.
Han Xin's mind was running at high speed thinking about a question: What did I do wrong to provoke him?If you were not doing well just now, you will change your face if you say so.
"Are you sure you can do it alone?"
Li Bai unfastened his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.
"Hey...!" Han Xin looked at his back and couldn't help but want to stop him, "Remember to have dinner."
Li Bai stopped in his tracks, tapped his forehead with some headaches, and said helplessly, "Get lost."
Li Bai stared at the number on the phone, his thoughts went blank following the beep.
The phone was picked up suddenly, and the familiar voice of the man on the other side was impatient and impatient: "Hello? Who is it?" Apparently the caller picked up without paying attention, and Li Bai guessed that he was busy.
"Dad, our captain Lu Bu wants to investigate someone."
"..." Mr. Li was silent for a while, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Your sister said you hit a home run, how is it? Did you expose it?"
"...Dad, I'm asking you to help me..."
Mr. Li pretended to be deaf: "Are you wearing//covers?"
Li Bai has nothing to do. Knowing that his father has such a temper, even if he tells him that he has been kidnapped and will soon be ripped off, if he doesn't ask him what he wants to know, he will ignore you, "No exposure."
"So it's up?"
"..."
"What's the matter, are you still satisfied? When will you take the other party home?"
"……dad!"
"Ah? You know, it's not easy to check people? You just tell me your name in a while. Let's not talk about digressions, let's get down to business, how do you feel about that, that Han...what's the matter, can he do it?" Huh? Didn't realize you were an Omega when I went to bed, he wouldn't be only twelve centimeters, would he?"
"Dad, I have a headache today. I won't tell you. I'm going to die." Li Bai really didn't lie. I don't know why I have a severe headache today.So when dealing with his father, he was justified.
"Hey wait—"
The excitement and thrill of calling his dad every time is as exciting and thrilling as walking through the hail of bullets unscathed.Moreover, Mr. Li is a serious double-standard dog. He only has a strong sense of time for others, and cares about time to the second level, but for himself, others are never allowed to rush.For example, a few weeks ago, Li Bai was asked to arrive at the company at 08:30 to pick up things. If Li Bai was late for a second or a month, he would not even think about having pocket money, and he would also receive a scolding incidentally. Such things as seeking money and killing one's life, the stalk that Han Xinxin used to mock him may be about to come true.
"But when you asked me out, you were often late!" Li Bai once protested aggrievedly.
Mr. Li was arrogant, looked at himself with contempt for all sentient beings, and then said word by word: "Because I have money."
It's just a hooligan professional!
Li Bai angrily threw his phone on the sofa and began to undress to go into the bathroom to take a shower.Before throwing the clothes into the washing machine, Li Bai felt in his pockets, but he really took out something.
A small card with pictures on it, and five hand-folded stars in transparent plastic bags.
"..." After thinking for a moment, Li Bai reckoned that Xiao Yu secretly stuffed it into his pocket.There are two people drawn on the card, one tall and one short, probably of himself and him. The five paper stars were not folded with special origami. From the outside, they should be reusable by cutting waste newspapers into long strips... maybe Xiaoyu and that girl gave him a gift together.
Li Bai put the things on the table, turned and walked into the bathroom.
——The reason why Han Xin set the ringtone of his cell phone so badly is because he can almost fall asleep as soon as he touches the pillow, so the bad ringtone is not enough for him, who has trouble getting up, goes outdoors, dies outdoors and wants to face-saving. necessary.
So this time he was also successfully woken up.
The bedside clock reads one o'clock in the middle of the night.The sound of howling ghosts and wolves from the mobile phone echoed throughout the empty villa.
Han Xin struggled to get up, glanced at the phone, and immediately recovered.
"Li Bai"
He hurriedly picked up the phone and rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong?"
But the other side hung up immediately.
"Hello?" Han Xin didn't react, and looked at the screen suspiciously a few seconds later.
Did you make a typo? ...
But the next moment he couldn't think so.
Eight missed calls, all from the same person.Li Bai has been calling since it was past twelve o'clock until the ringtone woke him up, but he hung up the moment he picked it up.
Han Xin’s rare friends who make bad friends—naturally because the family is also rich, no one is too lazy to frame anyone, and everyone has a very correct attitude—also often do this kind of boring pranks in the middle of the night, but since Han Xin has developed a habit of sleeping The habit of temporarily blocking them before, the annoyance of having itchy teeth and not being able to crawl along the phone line to another continent to beat people came to an abrupt end.
But Li Bai was different from those heartless dudes. Han Xin thought about his state today, and suddenly a cool breeze rose from the bottom of his heart, and he jumped out of bed in the next second.
He had to look at Li Bai's information given by his father, which indicated which building Li Bai lived in.
Ten minutes later, Han Xin stood in front of Building 10 18 and slammed on the door—the doorbell had been pressed countless times to no avail.Called countless times in the car, but no one answered.
"Li Bai, open the door!"
This floor was frighteningly gloomy and extremely weird. Han Xin had been making noise outside for five or six minutes, but no one from the family came out to scold him for yelling in the middle of the night.
...There can't be only one family living on this floor.
Thinking of this, Han Xin frowned and slammed the door again.
"Li, Bai!"
Still no response, Han Xin cursed, kicked the door hard, and then forced himself to calm down and unlock the electronic lock at Li Bai's house.
It is an electronic combination lock.
"..." Han Xin struggled for a long time, and finally put his hand into his pocket, and took out a stack of well-packed evidence collection papers—fingerprint cards, carefully pasted the number keys, and then picked it up, and it immediately showed that four numbers were pressed. most frequently.
Then he pressed the four numbers "di di di di di di di di di di di di dii".
"drop--"
The door opened.
Han Xin rushed in hastily and found that the lights in the living room were not turned off... No, lights were on everywhere in the room.
Li Bai's apartment is very clean and tidy. It looks like a model apartment in a commercial building carefully furnished with meticulous care.The apartment has two bedrooms and one living room, one larger one seems to be decorated as a study room, and the other smaller one...it should be Li Bai's bedroom.
Han Xin stepped into Li Bai's room in three steps, and found that there was no one there.The small room was connected to the balcony, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were not closed, and the outside wind came in, blowing the curtains wildly.
There is no anti-theft net on the balcony.
Han Xin's heart seemed to miss a beat. He ran to the balcony, almost half paralyzed on the railing and looked down.
But what can you see?The beautiful night scene with ever-burning lights in a high-end residential area after one o'clock in the morning?The city center with tall buildings in the distance?
First of all, Han Xin confirmed that his five senses were normal, and then tried his best to probe down. With the help of bright street lights, he was sure that there was no dead body at the bottom of the building.
His hands were trembling a little, he took out his cell phone and dialed Li Bai again.
This time, he heard a faint bell ringing from somewhere in the room.
Han Xin's eyes slowly fell on the wardrobe in the room.
Only then did he realize that the wardrobe in this bedroom did not match the whole, it was too big.It is a sliding-door wardrobe with two sets of cabinets, and the corners are barely attached to the door frame. If you insist on making a wardrobe of this size, it should be placed in the large bedroom next door.Next door, however, is a study.
Han Xin vigorously opened the closet, and the person sitting inside was leaning against the cabinet board. He discarded the ringing mobile phone aside, and plugged earphones into both of his ears—the other mobile phone was connected to it, and it was frighteningly quiet. In his room, Han Xin clearly heard the buzzing music in the earphones. He did not believe that Li Bai was really poor enough to afford a branded in-ear earphone, so the reason for the sound leakage should be that he turned the volume down. turned up to maximum.
In an instant, Han Xin felt his forehead congested, and with nameless anger, he roughly grabbed Li Bai's collar and dragged him to the bed behind him.
"Which fucking song are you singing?!"
Li Bai didn't answer, curled up in a ball on the bed, Han Xin was still angry, didn't notice his strangeness, and then blurted out cursing.
"Why are you hanging up the phone? Why are you calling me so many times when you want to hang up? Are you kidding me?! Ah?"
It wasn't until Li Bai closed his eyes and hummed that Han Xin's barrage of shells flew all over the place and stopped abruptly.
"……What’s wrong with you?"
The person on the bed clutched his upper abdomen, his face pale.
Han Xin quickly glanced around and saw a half-drunk cup of coffee by the bedside, and a three-in-one packaging bag lying on the floor.
"...Have you had dinner yet?" His tone was frighteningly cold.
Li Bai didn't say a word, his face was expressionless, he didn't know whether it was guilt or numbness.
"Drinking coffee on an empty stomach in the middle of the night, do you want to die?"
At this moment, Han Xin's fury finally reached its peak.
But Han Xin's outrage is not manifested in form, but he will be calmer than before.
He got out of the bedroom first and rummaged through the apartment, looking for stomach medicine.But he couldn't find it no matter how hard he searched, finally Han Xin found a new unopened box of stomach medicine in the drawer under the coffee table.
Looking up, there is a small card and five paper stars on the table.
"..."
Han Xin didn't have time to look at it, so he quickly brought a glass of water, went in and dragged him up from the bed.
"Take medicine."
Li Bai finally came back to his senses, poured two pills into his mouth, and took another sip of water.
Han Xin was patient and said softly, "Why are you calling me?"
"..."
"You still beat seven or eight, and you have to wake me up and play tricks on me? The door doesn't come to open, how do you know I can come in?"
"..." Li Bai raised his head slowly, and said the first sentence of the night: "How did you get in?"
"I pried it open."
"..."
"Are you hungry? You must be hungry? Do you want to try my handicraft or I will call you a midnight snack."
"I……"
"Okay, I'll give you a discount today, let you be Chef Han's first experiencer."
Han Xin stood up while speaking, but was held back by Li Bai.
"I..." Li Bai swallowed, "I couldn't sleep, I dreamed of something."
"Have a nightmare?"
Li Bai did not deny it.
"Fear?"
Li Bai immediately denied it this time: "No."
Han Xin laughed teasingly, "Did you deny it so quickly, are you afraid I might misunderstand?"
"I don't want to dream about those things anymore, so I don't want to sleep."
"Then you have to eat first." Suddenly, Han Xin stretched out his hands, picked him up by the waist, and turned around.
"!What are you doing--……!"
"I'm going to cook porridge. If you have anything to say, sit in the dining room and talk slowly."
A few minutes later, there were sparse movements in the kitchen. Li Bai was put down by Han Xin, and he sat on a chair in the dining room and watched the busy figure inside.
He had an ominous premonition: "Can you cook?"
"Is it possible to order takeout every day in such a strict school? Of course, I have to find a way to be self-reliant. I still remember the experience ten years ago."
"..." Li Bai's stomach was no longer throbbing and convulsing, but he still subconsciously covered his stomach, as if mourning for it in advance.
"Come on, what did you want to say just now, don't speak too loudly," Han Xin shouted from the kitchen, "I can hear pretty well."
"You said you would wait until I wanted to say it." The subtext was that I would pick and choose what to say.
"Ah."
"That boy...Xiaoyu's father has been found."
"So what if you find it? You don't want to send him back to give him a second drink, do you?"
"No...he's dead."
Han Xinsheng congee's movements paused, and he turned around slowly after a long time.
He walked up to Li Bai with a bowl, sat down, and pushed the porridge over: "Eat it. How do you know he's dead?"
"I just checked the news on the Internet. Three months ago, there was a long-dead man's body found in a township in L City, P Province.... His son and Lao Tzu were carved out of the same mold, and then...he died of poisoning."
"Why did you suddenly find out about the news from three months ago?"
Li Bai lowered his head and took a sip of porridge in silence.A series of responses means: I don't want to answer your question.
"...Okay, what's next? I read the case file when you sent me over. His father was just a poor alcoholic. Who would poison him? He must have bought cheap fake wine and mixed it with poison to poison himself. died."
"I want you to keep some things for me, but don't touch them or look at them yet."
Han Xin shrugged, "You called me so many times just for this?"
"...not all, shall we skip this topic?" Li Bai pointed to the things on the table in the dining room, "These two."
"Just a small card and...five paper stars?"
"Ah."
He just didn't know who to call in the middle of the night when he needed it.
If Han Xin didn't answer, the more he wanted to fight.Still thinking, why not pick up?Inexplicably adding to the illusion of being left behind.But when the other party finally picked up, Li Bai didn't know the meaning of his call.
Everything he's been doing tonight with his migraine is part reason, part instinct, and the instinct part he can't explain.
"I see. Go back to bed and lie down after drinking. At worst, I'll help you black out a day's vacation tomorrow."
"Need not."
"Then eat quickly and go to sleep."
Han Xin felt that Li Bai was split.
Others' heartlessness is real, but his is fake.
It doesn't matter if you don't want others to worry, or you want to hide your true self.
He is a combination of sunshine and gloom, a person who may jump in front of himself in embarrassment, or a fragile person who shows weakness in front of him late at night.His body seemed to be wrapped in a dense mist, with countless threads and unfathomable depths.
But Han Xin does not mind such a transformation.because……
"Let me tell you, your home must be equipped with an anti-theft net within three days."
Han Xin stood by the bed, looking at the person who had climbed into the bed and got into the bed, bossing around in an annoyed manner.
Li Bai gave a perfunctory "Yes" and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go back? Or come up and sleep together."
After he finished speaking, he regretted it. In the next second, Han Xin rushed forward, took up half of the bed, and swept away two-thirds of the quilt, and asked shamelessly, "What did you say?"
"...Didn't you fucking come up already?"
"Okay, sleep, I'll let you go tonight, sleepy."
Li Bai turned his back on him in disgust.
"Isn't your bed too small? Are you a man? A man should sleep in an invincible bed, the kind where you can't fall off no matter how you roll."
Li Bai finally replied, and there was no more sound.
"I've slept in narrower ones."
He seemed to be asleep.
"..." Han Xin clicked his tongue, finally got up, and forcibly turned him over to face him.
Then he pecked the other party's mouth, turned off the light and went to sleep contentedly.
——But Han Xin doesn't mind such a change, because he knows that he has stepped into Li Bai's safe zone, and only Li Bai in the safe zone is the real one.
