you are deep in the stars

Near midnight, enthusiastic bar, enthusiastic crowd.

Standing on the bar counter, the eccentric girl screamed and swayed to the music. She looked so carefree, she didn't look like she had just experienced life and death.The splashed rose champagne looked like broken diamonds under the light, messily refracting the halo of the rainbow, the air was filled with a strong smell of perfume, the sound waves made people's eardrums hurt, Bai Xi struggled to squeeze through the crowd, Pull Han Zhuo to hide in the corner.

"It's killing me." He said dizzily.

"Who is it that is clamoring to come to the carnival night at six o'clock in the morning?" Han Zhuo leaned slightly and looked at him.

Bai Xi's face remained unchanged: "You."

"Come on." Han Zhuo took his hand and led him all the way to the balcony on the second floor.The bar serves light business meals at noon, and is very popular with office workers. At night, it becomes quiet and deserted, but after the beautiful star lights are turned on, it looks like a small garden in a fairy tale.

"Is it cold?" Han Zhuo asked.

Bai Xi shook his head, perhaps because his cheeks were very hot after drinking some wine.

"Then rest here for a while, I'll get you a glass of juice." Han Zhuo asked, "Do you want onion rings and French fries?"

"Yes." Bai Xi pulled a chair by herself, "Don't let anyone else come here."

Han Zhuo smiled and kissed him, turned around and strode down the stairs.

A light night wind blows head-on, just enough to reduce the heat caused by alcohol, very comfortable.Bai Xi was lying on the fence, squinting his eyes and looking at the bright lights in the distance. He liked this place very much. There was a noisy and boiling bar under his feet, but there was only the gentle and gentle sound of the wind in his ears. Movement and stillness merged wonderfully at this moment. Just like when day and night alternate, there will always be beautiful dark red cloud rings in the sky.

There is no sea of ​​stars this night, only a small star hanging in the distance, lonely and bright, Bai Xi stretches out her hand childishly, trying to catch the bright brilliance, but only the wind leaks through her fingers.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind her, and Bai Xi turned her head with a smile: "Do you know—" The sound came abruptly, followed by a muffled gunshot, but it didn't hit Bai Xi.After seeing that it wasn't Han Zhuo who was coming, he almost instinctively turned sideways, just avoiding the oncoming anesthesia needle.

The man cursed a curse word, and aimed his gun at Bai Xi again. He didn't pay attention to the young man in front of him. He was just a standard East Asian weakling, but reality soon taught him how to be a man. The truth - at least don't judge a book by its cover.Bai Xi held his gun barrel with one hand, and the temperature melted the solid metal in an instant. The man suddenly felt that he was holding a red soldering iron in his hand. He let go of his hand with a strange cry, but a piece was still burned off Flesh and flesh can even smell burnt.

Blood spurted out, the man became angry from embarrassment, and rushed towards him with bare hands, Bai Xi grabbed a high wooden stool, and threw it towards him fiercely, the flames rose into the air, and quickly ignited into a huge fireball in the air, the man panicked He took two steps back, hugging his head and trying to avoid it, but the wires got entangled under his feet, pulling down the star lights on the entire wooden frame.

The huge noise spread downstairs, Han Zhuo's eyes changed, he dropped the tray in his hand and took two steps, and rushed up to the terrace like flying, only to see Bai Xi suppressing a man in the scattered firelight , eyes like ferocious beasts.

Han Zhuo pulled the wires on one side and tied up the attacker tightly. The opponent's hair was burnt, and a huge blister was burned on his face. His right hand was covered with blood. A lot of losses.

"Do you know him?" Bai Xi asked.

Han Zhuo looked at the facial features that were swollen like a pig's head: "Not Asian."

"Did he come after me?" Bai Xi squatted down and observed the other party, "He brought a bomb."

Han Zhuo didn't expect that the other party would attack Bai Xi so soon.The crowd downstairs didn't know what happened on the terrace, they were still celebrating the destruction of the underground warehouse with deafening music, Han Zhuo and Bai Xi left through the staff passage, and took the attackers straight to the private hospital.

"Where are you going in the middle of the night?" Zhuang Yan sat up from the bed and asked in surprise.

"A car accident patient came to the hospital." Liang Yi put on his clothes, "I have to go there quickly."

"Why do you still work part-time in the emergency department?" Zhuang Yan was suspicious.

"Seriously injured." Liang Yi helped her cover the quilt, and before he had time to think of a better reason to perfunctory, he hurried out the door.

Although there was no traffic jam on the street at midnight, he almost drove all the way to the hospital, but it was still a step too late—the attacker chose to bite through the poison after the operation failed, and stopped breathing in less than 10 minutes. What was on the test bench in the hospital was just a cold corpse.

"I didn't find any identification mark." Han Zhuo said, "It can be easily subdued by Xiaobai alone...cough." He originally wanted to say "it should not be a carefully selected and powerful character", but considering In terms of family status, I still changed the expression, "The other party's actions seem to be a bit too hasty and reckless."

Bai Xi stomped on him in the dark.

Mr. Han smiled calmly.

"It's not a supernatural being, just an ordinary human being." Liang Yi said, "As for the specific identity, we may need to ask the police to help find out."

"Then leave this matter to Director Liang." Han Zhuo said, "Also, I want to know if he has been reformed."

"You suspect it's Shi Tian?" Liang Yi nodded, "Leave it to me."

……

By the time the two returned home, it was almost lunch time.Bai Xi started to take off her clothes as soon as she entered the door, rushed into the bathroom and washed herself three times, finally alleviating the terrible smell of blood.

Han Zhuo hugged him and sat on the bed: "Do you want to eat something first?"

"No appetite." Bai Xi tugged on her pajamas, yawning continuously.

"I haven't praised you yet." Mr. Han said, "You performed very well last night."

"I told you a long time ago, I don't need your protection." Bai Xi buried her face in his arms, was so sleepy that she didn't even have the energy to show off anymore, she muttered something indiscriminately, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Han Zhuo straightened his hair with his fingers, his movements were very gentle, but the dark emotion in his eyes never faded away.

He regretted that he could not completely reduce the demon to ashes.

Three days later, Liang Yi sent an analysis report. The attacker had not undergone any supernatural transformation. He was just an ordinary person. Moreover, the police had obtained his route of action through the street video. In a small hotel, I found his temporary residence. According to the scene, the other party was a drug addict.

"Africa?" Bai Xi said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Liang Yi said, "There is one more thing. The 'South American Diamond', which had a close relationship with the underground warehouse at the beginning, also has its lair in Africa. I guess the code name is just to confuse the public."

"So it's probably because Shi Tian sent someone to kidnap me?" Bai Xi thought for a while, "It makes sense logically, but is this person too weak?" Not only did he act recklessly, but he also took drugs. Kidnapping ordinary people may Yes, but Shi Tianming has seen himself dismantling the warehouse with his own hands, so he seems to have no reason to act so hastily.

"I was also discussing this with Mr. Han just now." Liang Yi said, "No matter what, this is not a good thing. You may need to be more careful in the future."

Bai Xi nodded, and sighed deeply in her heart, the freedom she had finally won from the big Ultraman was worthless, and it was worth eating a whole street of junk food to make up for the trauma.

Mr. Wang called and asked Liu Chunchun for a three-year leave.

Bai Xi: "..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Chunchun protested at the other end, "Brother Bai, I will be back to work on Wednesday!"

Mr. Wang was very dissatisfied: "You have to go to work when you have a fever?"

Bai Xi asked vigilantly, "Why is my Chunchun still having a fever?"

However, the phone had already been hung up, and there was only an indifferent "beep-beep--" sound, like cold icy rain patting randomly on the old father's heart.

Wang Yuanchen unwrapped a toffee: "Do you want more?"

"I'm tired, don't want it anymore." Liu Chunchun sat on the bed with his teacup in his arms, and the quilt was covered with sugar. Mr. Wang followed his word and almost emptied the entire convenience store for him.

"What are you buying so much for?" Liu Chunchun said with a bitter face, "It hurts my teeth from eating."

"Keep it and use it slowly." Wang Yuanchen found an empty jar and stuffed all the candies into it.

Liu Chunchun: "..."

use?

"One at a time." Wang Yuanchen leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Liu Chunchun's thin face turned red again, and he muttered in a low voice, "That's enough for you for ten years."

Mr. Wang stared at him fiercely: "How can such a small amount be enough for ten years?!"

Liu Chunchun was wrapped in a quilt and pretended to be deaf.

He didn't do anything on this trip home, just lay on the bed for four or five days, didn't eat any of the pre-ordered banquets, and hummed aggrievedly.The elders in the family are also very distressed. Every day, people come to visit the sick with fruits. Mr. Wang behaves well as a family member.

"When are you going to confess our relationship to your uncle and aunt?" Wang Yuanchen asked him during the night break.

"I'm not ready yet." Liu Chunchun shrank habitually, "What if they get angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Mr. Wang wondered, "I'm so nice."

Liu Chunchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and buried his head in the quilt.

Wang Yuanchen hugged him through the quilt: "Then eat candy?"

"Don't eat!" Liu Chunchun refused.

"It's about to expire." Wang Yuanchen stroked his hair and reminded him in a good mood, "You taught me not to waste food or condoms."

Liu Chunchun: "..."

Well, I didn't teach you that last sentence.
