Twilight

Yan Duo started to go to work after being raised at home for a week. On the first day of work, while browsing through the documents handed by his secretary, he called Zhang Yang: "How is the job search going?"

Zhang Yang: "I submitted my resume, and two companies contacted me, but the salary is not very good. I'm still thinking about it."

Yan Duo: "Are you interested in coming to our company?"

Zhang Yang: "You know my major. What can I do with you? Sweeping the floor, driving a car, or being a security guard?"

Yan Duo closed the folder, "I'm starting over, didn't you say that Tongcheng is under too much pressure and you want to leave? Los Angeles is doing well, the air is good, the pace is slow, and the consumption is not too high , especially suitable for life, but the education and medical care may be a bit different from Tongcheng, but it is also a provincial capital city, and the difference is not too far. When you come, I can provide accommodation, and the salary will not be lower than your previous one. Why? Like? Think about it. I mean it, and I want you to come and help me."

Zhang Yang: "You said it so well, so I'm still thinking about it. Remember to pick me up at the airport tomorrow."

Yan Duo was speechless for a while, and then said: "I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon, how about asking the driver to pick you up?"

Zhang Yang: "Don't bother, I'll just say it casually, you give me an address, and I'll take a taxi and go there."

Yan Duo: "Okay."

Zhang Yang got off the plane in the afternoon of the next day and took a taxi to Yan Duo’s company. The receptionist was not clear about it, so he didn’t care if he brought people into the living room. Zhang Yang hurriedly called to ask, and found him at the reception on the first floor. The two went to dinner together, and Yan Duo took Zhang Yang back to his small apartment next to the company.

Yan Duo stared at his backpack, "You didn't bring any luggage?"

Zhang Yang: "I sent it by courier, but it hasn't arrived yet."

Yan Duo went to the bedroom and took out a set of short-sleeved shorts and threw them to him, "I'll wear them after you take a shower."

Zhang Yang reached out to catch it, "Did you wear it?"

Yan Duo: "I won't wear the ones I wore for you. The new ones are washed and given to you."

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "You really want to make yourself a chaste woman?"

Yan Duo pulled out another towel and threw it to him, "Get out."

Zhang Yang stopped laughing, took the towel in his hand and folded it, "I've heard what my brother-in-law said."

Yan Duo reacted for a while, then realized that his brother-in-law was not referring to the gambler Zhao Jianxin who borrowed usury to escape, but Zhao Jianfei, "Your family is destined to have the surname Zhao, and both sons-in-law are surnamed Zhao."

Zhang Yang smiled: "So my future daughter-in-law will also have the surname Zhao." He put the towel and clothes aside, and continued what he hadn't said just now, "He broke up with you, looking for such a bloody Do you believe my excuse?"

Yan Duo came over with two bottles of soda water, tossed one to Zhang Yang, and twisted the cap with his head down, "So what if you don't believe me? He spent so much effort to find extras to lie to me, regardless of the real What's the reason? Anyway, the fact is that he doesn't want to continue with me anymore. What else can I do besides accepting it? Is the ruthless beating him up and won't let him go? I'm not a kid like Lin Chen anymore, and I can still chase after him. Just ask why."

Zhang Yang scratched his ears, "Actually, you haven't been together for long, so let's divide up, and forget about it after a year or so."

Yan Duo suddenly thought of a poem by Li Shangyin, Acacia is far away from the heavy city, but it is far away from the heavy city, has he ever missed himself?He subconsciously touched the cigarette.

Zhang Yang saw it with sharp eyes, grabbed the xylitol on the table and threw it over, "Chewing xylitol is environmentally friendly, my pharyngitis has become more serious recently."

Yan Duo raised his arms to catch it, "You don't smoke, where did you get the pharyngitis?"

Zhang Yang: "It's not caused by you second-hand smokers."

Yan Duo had no choice but to stuff the cigarette back, knock out two xylitol pills and throw them into his mouth.

While Yan Duo was taking a bath, Zhang Yang switched the TV to the sports channel, which happened to be showing the World Football program. It hit the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League and the semi-finals of the East Asia region. It has become the only seedling left in the AFC Champions League. With relish, he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. He hurriedly grabbed the remote control to change the channel, but the more anxious he got, the more trouble he got. He frantically pressed the program plus and minus keys to volume plus and minus.

Yan Duo glanced at the TV screen, and said calmly: "It's okay, you can watch it."

Zhang Yang quickly clicked the button a few times, turned the volume back, and switched the channel to the original animal world. He grabbed his clothes and towel, "Don't watch it, I'm going to take a shower."

When Zhang Yang came out of the shower, the TV and lights in the living room were turned off, and the door of the master bedroom where Yan Duo lived was also closed, with only a little light peeking out from the crack in the door below. Yan Duo lowered his voice, he regretted watching the sports channel, picked up the unfinished soda, grabbed his hair and went to the guest room.

Zhang Yang went to the company with Yan Duo the next day. Yan Duo meant that he should stay in the production department for a week first, then quality, sales, and after-sales. Listening to Yan Duo's arrangement, the secretary thought that their young master, an old classmate, might become the company's future upstart, and then contacted Yan Duo's sexual orientation, as well as the small video from the public relations department, and confirmed that Zhang Yang was the one in the video. The person concerned, who only showed a side face, secretly glanced at Zhang Yang with a strange expression, and his mind slipped vividly into an indescribable abyss.

One late night, Zhang Yang was on his way home from overtime work, and the World Cup was broadcasting on the radio in a taxi. Then he remembered that there was a match between the Netherlands and Germany today. In order to take care of the fans in the Eastern Hemisphere, the kick-off time was deliberately advanced. So the kick-off was at [-] o'clock domestic time.The situation on the field was a bit stalemate, constantly being cut off, kicked back and kicked out. The commentator had nothing to say, so he talked about the goalkeeper of the Dutch team, and then suddenly changed the subject, talking about Huang Wenxuan, with a very regretful tone , Said that he could have been the first substitute goalkeeper of the national team, but he transferred to China A halfway, and later returned to China with a knee injury to recuperate.It is said that the original old club was unwilling to retain him again, and did not even give him the opportunity to go back as a substitute. He may go to the next level of the league, etc. Another commentator said lightly that this is also his contribution to growth. The price, presumably after this lesson, he will not be so impulsive in the future.

Zhang Yang felt a little heavy after hearing this, and silently turned on his phone, trying to search for some news about Huang Wenxuan's recent situation on the Internet, but found nothing, it seems that he was really frozen.

Soon came the National Day, Zhao Jianfei and Lu Yuan got engaged, Yan Duo and Zhang Yang went to celebrate together, after the end, Zhao Jianfei sent them out, Yan Duo stood on the steps of the hotel entrance, suddenly said: "Last time I entrusted you to rent Has anyone cleaned the Shanshui Yipin apartment recently?"

Zhang Yang knew that Huang Wenxuan lived there before, so he didn't dare to say anything, and turned around silently to look at the scenery.

Zhao Jianfei: "The key is at my house, do you want to stay overnight? I'll go back and get it for you."

Yan Duo thought for a while, "That's not necessary, just let them not touch the things inside while cleaning."

"I know." Zhao Jianfei and Zhang Yang looked at each other, then both lowered their heads.

Yan Duo gave a wry smile unabashedly, kicked Zhang Yang, "Let's go."

In the evening, Yan Duo and Zhang Yang stayed in a hotel near the airport, and left Los Angeles on the earliest flight the next day to attend a product exhibition in other cities.

Soon it will be October in the lunar calendar. Yan Duo’s hometown has a custom of going to graves on the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar. The weather on this day is very cloudy. He had a meeting in the company in the morning and was busy until noon. I bought two bouquets of flowers and drove to the cemetery in the suburbs.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, it started to rain. Yan Duo first drove to the nearby grandfather's cemetery, put down the flowers, poured a few glasses of wine in front of the tombstone, sat for a while, and wiped off the dust on the tombstone. Then he got up and left.

Yan Gu's cemetery is on the top of the mountain. When Yan Duo drove up, it was already raining heavily. He flashed double flashes to avoid the vehicles going down the mountain. He drove very slowly. When he reached the entrance of the cemetery, he parked the car and made a hasty gesture. After registering, I held an umbrella and picked up flowers and went in.

Yan Gu's tomb is on the far left in the penultimate row, so when Yan Duo turned a corner, he saw two people standing there from a distance, one of them was very familiar, it was Zhao Jianfei, he felt strange for a while, and stepped forward two people. Just as Bu was about to say hello, he suddenly saw the other one was Zhao Wunan, and he stopped again.

The two of them seemed to be talking about something, and they didn't intend to leave, so Yan Duo subconsciously walked forward a little, dodging behind a tombstone.

Through the rain curtain, the conversation between the two floated intermittently.

Zhao Jianfei: "I didn't expect Huang Wenxuan to break up with Yan Duo in that way, probably because Zheng Hui forced him to have no choice."

Zhao Wunan still couldn't accept that his old brother's son was gay, so he gave a noncommittal "hmm".

Yan Duo's heart twitched, and a buzzing sound exploded in his ears. Who is Zheng Hui?

The two were silent for a while, and Zhao Jianfei suddenly sighed heavily: "It's also pity for the parents of the world. He spent so much effort to send his son abroad to be trained by others, but he didn't expect his son to fall in love with the child he killed with his own hands. That person's child. I guess if it wasn't for this, this grandson would hide for the rest of his life, and he would definitely not let us find any clues, let alone threaten him with this, and throw himself into the trap. Skynet is not missing, but the price is too high! I think Yan Duo has not come out of that relationship yet, Huang Wenxuan is also abolished, and now he can only dawdle in their second division. I can’t even start the game.”

Zhao Wunan glanced at Zhao Jianfei, "What you said, how can you stand in the position of the perpetrator."

Zhao Jianfei smiled wryly, "I just said something random."

Zhao Wunan murmured: "No matter what, Xiaoduo must not let Xiaoduo know about this matter."

Zhao Jianfei nodded, "I know, he won't be able to bear it."

Neither of them noticed that Yan Duo had already walked behind them. He had already thrown away the flowers and umbrella. He was standing in the rain, his clothes were already soaked, and his face was not sure whether it was rain or tears. And then, "Is what you said... all true?"

Zhao Jianfei and Zhao Wunan both turned around, too shocked to speak.

Yan Duo suddenly smiled, tears rolled down his eyes, his expression was terrified, "It's okay, we broke up, what else can I not bear. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Zhao Jianfei and Zhao Wunan looked at each other, finally Zhao Wunan nodded, and passed the umbrella in his hand, "Since Xiaoduo heard it, you can tell."

Zhao Jianfei organized his words, and said: "Zheng Hui, that is, the murderer who killed Uncle Yan Gu, actually he has another identity, that is Huang Wenxuan's biological father. He was hiding in Tibet and was precarious. Although he had money, he couldn't spend it. , I used my brain to send Huang Wenxuan to an orphanage, and then spent money to contact a foreign institution to find a Chinese couple who wanted to adopt a child, that is, Zhao Jianfei's current adoptive parents, and asked them to adopt him. He took him out of the country. Whether it was the orphanage or that institution, he gave them a lot of money. The grandson of the old dean of the orphanage has always been in touch with him. Almost all the money he subsidized to the orphanage was taken by the old man. The dean's family is greedy for ink, and they didn't use it to improve the conditions of the orphanage. Anyway, Zheng Hui's money was also black money, and when he donated it, he didn't go through a clear road at all, and no one would come to check. They spent it with peace of mind. This grandson is Wu Yan, the reason why he keeps in touch with Zheng Hui is because he can continue to benefit from him. He forgot to mention that he is now the photographer of XX club. So a few months ago when Huang Wenxuan transferred to XX club, he immediately He told Zheng Hui that Zheng Hui was worried that his son wanted to come back to recognize his relatives. As a wanted criminal, of course he did not dare to recognize Huang Wenxuan. Ye Avenue, private car owner Geng Xun almost ran into Zheng Hui, Huang Wenxuan rescued him, and he ran away immediately, of course, because he was afraid that the accident would attract the police. In fact, Wu Yan asked him to go to Shanshui Yipin that day , because Huang Wenxuan lived there, and he wanted to see his son with his own eyes. But after this happened, he ran away and returned to Los Angeles."

Zhao Jianfei still remembers that during the trial, Zheng Hui was very proud of Huang Wenxuan's rescue of him. He paused and continued: "He went to the orphanage as soon as he returned to Los Angeles. Someone knew the details before and after Huang Wenxuan was adopted, and then he hired someone to go with him to inquire around, and found that no one knew what happened back then, so he was relieved."

Hearing this, Yan Duo remembered the time when he went to the orphanage with Huang Wenxuan, and his appetite throbbed again. His face was covered by the shadow of the umbrella, and Zhao Jianfei could only see his hands holding the handle of the umbrella, which were frighteningly white.

"Then Wu Yan found out about your relationship with Huang Wenxuan. He didn't want to talk about it, because he felt that one more thing is better than one less thing. Now that Zheng Hui has been sent away, don't provoke him anymore. But according to Zheng Hui's account , He saw you and Huang Wenxuan together in the old street of Los Angeles that day. You were very close. He thought it was strange, so he called Zheng Hui to question him. Zheng Hui couldn't hide it, so he told him the truth. Next, Zheng Hui Hui just wanted to separate the two of you. He paid Zheng Hui to find someone to smear you on the Internet. Speaking of which, he has some skills. Somehow, he got the email address of Huang Wenxuan's adoptive parents and sent them your affairs. Huang Wenxuan was called back by his adoptive mother, probably because his adoptive parents told him, Zheng Hui said, and he threatened them that if he didn't break up with you, he would kill you, fearing that they wouldn't believe him, and even designed to kidnap Lin Morning, forcing Huang Wenxuan to make a decision."

Yan Duo recalled that Huang Wenxuan called him that day and asked him if someone had an accident at home. He took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to force back the tears, not letting himself recall what happened that day, "Did Zheng Hui confess all this? Why didn't he tell I."

Zhao Jianfei: "No, we just found out recently. Although his previous testimony is plausible, there are still some loopholes. Although the case was barely closed, we have not given up on continuing to check the evidence and testimony. The reason why we can find out is because we traced and monitored His colleague found out that he had been to Qingshui Town, but he didn't pay attention at the time. Later, that colleague happened to be there on a business trip, so he stopped by the place he had been to, but it turned out to be a scam, and the person he hired to go to the orphanage with him was After confessing everything, we re-interrogated him."

Yan Duo nodded and said, "I see." He slowly turned around and walked out of the cemetery.

Zhao Jianfei stuffed the umbrella in his hand to Old Zhao, chased after him and asked, "Come back with us."

Yan Duo looked at the sky, "No need, the rain has lightened, and my car is still parked outside."

Zhao Jianfei looked at Yan Duo's face, "You better stop driving, take my car and go back."

Yan Duo put on a smiling face, "I'm really fine." He patted Zhao Jianfei's arm and left quickly.

The road down the mountain was a bit slippery. Yan Duo drove slowly while holding the steering wheel. The phone was next to the steering wheel. After looking at it countless times, he finally dialed the number.

The phone rang and was connected.

Hearing "Hello" from that familiar voice, Yan Duo burst into tears instantly, "I know everything."

Huang Wenxuan reacted, the ball in his hand fell to the ground, he adjusted his tone, "You, are you okay?"

Yan Duo took a deep breath and tried to breathe evenly, "I'm fine, I've been working in the company recently, how about you? Is your knee feeling better?"

Huang Wenxuan: "Everything is fine, I have returned to the court."

Yan Duo: "That's good, I wish you... happiness, and look forward to seeing you in the World Cup in the future."

Huang Wenxuan held back his tears, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "You too, no matter what time you are, you live a better life than me."

Yan Duo raised his hand to wipe away his tears, "Then... goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Duo sniffled, turned on the car music, and turned the volume up. He didn't dare to think about what kind of mood Huang Wenxuan was in when he came to him to say goodbye. I want to suffocate myself, and my stomach hurts uncontrollably.

He hugged the steering wheel tightly, but unexpectedly, the tune of dusk hit his ears again...

When Zhao Jianfei left the cemetery, he drove closely behind Yan Duo's car. When he got to the middle of the mountain, he just looked down at the caller ID on his phone, and when he looked up again, he saw Yan Duo's car rolling off. On the cliff on the side of the mountain road, Zhao Jianfei felt the blood rushing to his head in shock. His arm shook and he almost hit the cliff on one side.

The rescue team and the ambulance arrived soon. Yan Duo was still conscious when he was pushed into the ambulance. He pressed Zhao Jianfei's hand and explained angrily: "I really didn't want to commit suicide. Something came down, and I instinctively turned the steering wheel to avoid it."

Zhao Jianfei's eyes were bloodshot: "I know, I know everything, you must hold on, you must hold on."

Yan Duo gave a final "hmm" and lost consciousness.
