Twilight

Yan Duo returned to Tongcheng a week later. At this time, the condition of his stepfather Gao Yong had stabilized and he was transferred out of the ICU. However, the doctor said that even if he recovered well, he would suffer from hemiplegia in the future. That is to say, It's hard to get involved in the day-to-day affairs of their company anymore.

On the day Yan Duo left, his mother happened to be on a business trip, and the two went to the airport together. On the way, Cui Yuezhen said that her energy and body were not as good as before. Before Gao Yong was there, she could hide for a while, but now the burden falls on She was on her shoulders alone, and she couldn't stand it. She hoped that Yan Duo could come back and take over the family business. Yan Duo didn't express his opinion, but said that he would seriously consider it.

It was already evening when Yan Duo arrived in Tongcheng, and the city shrouded in twilight exuded a dry and hot atmosphere. There were people coming and going at the airport, everyone was hurrying with their mobile phones and luggage, passing each other Shi Shi is even stingy with giving others a look.

Cui Yuezhen's fragile nerves, the greetings from relatives and old friends, and the company's huge network of relationships, Yan Duo has dealt with it for a week, but he feels exhausted physically and mentally. It is precisely the loneliness at this time and place that relaxes him the most. When I got out of the airport, I just felt refreshed, and when I got home under the starry sky, I fell asleep.

Yan Duo slept until noon the next day, and then he started dreaming again, trying to wake up but couldn't wake up. At first, he dreamed about some messy things, and then he had that dream again, and he was shocked out of bed. In a cold sweat, fortunately, he finally woke up.

He lifted the quilt and sat up, took a few deep breaths before slowly calming down, the air conditioner in the room was a little low, the hairs on his arms stood up one by one, he rubbed his face, turned off the air conditioner and got out of bed .

Yan Duo walked to the bathroom to wash up. He was not at home for a week, and the room was very dusty. He turned on the vacuum cleaner and let him go around the room by himself. return.

After turning on the phone, I received several QQ messages, all from Huang Wenxuan.

Even in Los Angeles a few days ago, he would receive messages from him every day. At first it was because he was busy and didn't have time to reply. Later, there were a lot of messages, and when he had time to return, he didn't know where to start.

Meng Yanduo still had lingering fears just now, as well as Los Angeles, all the complicated and complicated everything there - the past and the present, were like a net, binding him tightly, and he couldn't break free, feeling powerless from within. As it spread outward, he stared at the pile of voice messages for a long time, but he didn't have the strength to open them.

Huang Wenxuan's enthusiasm for him has gone beyond the scope of ordinary friends, even Tangtang can see it, Yan Duo is not ignorant.

Huang Wenxuan has the vitality, sunshine and other simple and beautiful things that he longs for. He lost those things when the accident happened that year. Over the years, he has traveled far away and tried his best to save himself.He goes to work like a normal person, maintains a friendship, and copes with the necessary social interactions. He tries hard to put himself in the sun in every way. He thinks he has put in so much effort, but occasionally a midnight dream comes back, All his efforts will be in vain, and he will be beaten back in an instant.

Yan Duo could not deny his affection for Huang Wenxuan.

However, he has always firmly believed that all values ​​that have universal significance have no meaning of redemption①, not to mention that he does not want to pull a person in, because it is immoral, and he has long been used to loneliness and disappointment.

Seven or eight cigarette butts had been lost in the ashtray, and Yan Duo finally made a decision to let everything stop here.

When uninstalling QQ, his fingers still couldn't help trembling a bit. The rivers and lakes are boundless, and the future will be indefinite. When seeing the icon disappear from the screen, Yan Duo's stomach twitched, and it turned out to be painful.

That guessing game was too difficult, but Huang Wenxuan should still be able to get his mobile phone number through other means, but the non-reply on QQ itself shows an attitude, that young man is so smart, he should understand.

The doorbell rang suddenly, Yan Duo recovered from his confusion, went to open the door, it was Zhao Jianfei.

"Where have you been recently? It's as if the world has disappeared, and you don't answer the phone." Zhao Jianfei was as familiar as if he had returned to his own home. He bent down and took out slippers from the shoe cabinet to change into, then turned around and brought in a stack of meals from outside the door. box.

Although Yan Duo was still immersed in the emotions just now, he tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, "I went back to my hometown."

Zhao Jianfei heard that he gave him a meaningful look, and then he closed the door with his backhand, "Did you solve the problem last time? I didn't answer the phone that day, and then I didn't speak when I got connected."

"It's been resolved long ago. It's a trivial matter. I don't dare to work on you."

"Crap, I thought your return to your hometown had something to do with what happened that day."

Yan Duo didn't answer.

Zhao Jianfei asked again: "How long will you have to wear this plaster cast?"

Zhao Jianfei didn't mention it, Yan Duo really forgot about it, he counted the time in his mind, "It seems to say that I need to take a review in the next few days, I will go back and look at the medical records."

As soon as Zhao Jianfei entered the living room, he coughed twice, frowned, and said, "Why is there so much smoke, it looks like it's on fire." He put the lunch box on the table, and looked towards the smoky window.

Yan Duo himself stayed in the room for a long time, and he didn't think there was anything wrong. He thought about it, and said casually: "Probably because I was smoking just now and forgot to open the window."

"How many cigarettes do you have to smoke to get your effect! If it weren't for the smell, I would have thought you were making poison in your own home."

"Don't slander me, I always abide by the law."

Zhao Jianfei walked to the window with Yan Duo, saw the pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray, couldn't help but looked up at Yan Duo deeply, and while helping him to open the window for ventilation, he said bitterly: "So Large displacement, can your lungs take it?"

Yan Duo: "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"If you weren't my classmate in junior high school, I wouldn't be bothered to tell you. I'm exhausted this week, and I've been in the bureau for food and lodging." Zhao Jianfei walked back to the living room, collapsed on the sofa, and instructed Yan Duo to prepare dinner. Take the box to heat in the microwave.

Yan Duo glanced at the packing box, saw that what Zhao Jianfei packed was the food from that expensive and unpalatable shop, and sighed: "You policemen earn such a good salary, you shouldn't be tired."

"Who said we've got enough income?" Zhao Jianfei turned his shaggy head around, resting his chin on the back of the sofa, his eyes fell on those lunch boxes, "That's not taking care of your young master's taste, lest you eat it. It’s not good, this meal cost me half a month’s wages, so I can only eat instant noodles in the future.”

Yan Duo's fingers paused for a while, and then he opened the microwave oven neatly, stuffed the lunch box in, then he turned around, with an expression of not knowing the sufferings of the world, and said in a tone of 'why not eat minced meat': "This The food at home is terrible, should I tell you that another one is more expensive, but the road is a bit far, so I have to trouble you to take a few steps."

Zhao Jianfei scolded, "Get lost." After a pause, he suddenly asked, "I've checked, and you have several expensive cars under your name, and you have no record of traffic accidents. open?"

Yan Duo's expression froze suddenly, and after a while, he said nonchalantly: "Isn't it advocating green travel? Driving is not environmentally friendly."

Zhao Jianfei: "..."

Ghost letter!

(change)

In the evening, Zhao Jianfei paced back and forth in the bedroom with his mobile phone in his hand. He was probably irritated by his indecision. He frowned, sat down on the bed, called up a number from the address book, and dialed In the past, "Dad, I want to ask you a favor with something."

Zhao Wunan was holding a tea mug and was about to go to the bedroom. Knowing his son is like his father, he snorted, "Being so polite to your father, there must be nothing good."

Zhao Jianfei: "..."

Zhao Wunan is very satisfied with his son overall. I don’t know whether it’s because Zhao Wunan has been too busy with work and has no time to pay attention to this son or something. He has the impression that Zhao Jianfei has been very sensible since he was a child. He has been on a steady blind date and dating, and has never made any mistakes. Looking back now, he feels that he has been letting it go, and his son is not rebellious, and he is very lucky.While Zhao Wunan was lucky, he also felt a little indebted to the child.Therefore, at this age, Lao Zhao spoiled this "son of other people" who has always been called "other people's son": "Let's talk."

"I want to use your authority to check a person."

"who?"

"His name is Yan Gu, a native of Los Angeles."

Zhao Wunan couldn't help shaking the hand holding the tea mug, and then he heard his voice dryly asking: "You, why are you looking for this?"

Zhao Jianfei didn't hear anything strange from the phone, and said with half melancholy: "He is the father of a junior high school classmate of mine. Before you transferred to Tongcheng, I was in the same class as him in the second year of junior high school. I have been sleeping in his lower bunk. , logically speaking, in such a situation, he shouldn't forget me, but that kid just forgot me. I felt a little unbelievable, and I was afraid that I would admit the wrong person, so I ran to check his file and found that it was him Personally, he lives across the door from me now, and I always feel that there is something hidden about him, but apart from his father's file, I can't find it, and everyone around him is quite normal, and I can't see anything wrong."

Zhao Wunan listened quietly, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a heavy tone: "You should come over this weekend, and I will tell you everything I know."

Zhao Jianfei responded, and said with a stunned and shocked look: "So you know this person?"

"Ah."

Zhao Jianfei wanted to ask a few more questions, but the phone had already been hung up.
