Tiandi Baiju

At 10:30 in the evening, the car stopped in the underground garage of Yu Jianqiang's company:

"We shouldn't be stuck in the same day."

Zhou Luoyang remembered the movie about time loops he had seen, and suddenly felt a burst of fear.

Du Jing has not slept for nearly 48 hours in a row, but he is still very energetic, and replied: "This day has not passed yet."

Zhou Luoyang: "Why is it just you and me?"

Until now, Zhou Luoyang was still full of shock and doubt, as if he was in a dream.

"I don't know." Du Jing answered him concisely.

Zhou Luoyang suddenly grabbed Du Jing's hand and looked at him suspiciously. Du Jing read what he wanted to say from his eyes:

are you real

They already have too much tacit understanding with each other, even if they have been separated for several years, this tacit understanding has not been reduced by half due to time.

"Yes," Du Jing said in a deep voice, "I think all of this is true, at least for now, you and I really exist."

"But why..." Zhou Luoyang had too many doubts.

Du Jing took him into the elevator and looked up at the monitor on the ceiling: "Supernatural power? This is very important? Can you go back and study it slowly?"

Zhou Luoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What about now? What are we going to do?"

The elevator floor numbers kept changing, and Du Jing replied, "Go back to the company and get something."

Zhou Luoyang said: "If you are sure that Yu Jianqiang will commit suicide, why don't you accompany your boss first and enlighten him..."

Du Jing: "After leaving the warehouse, I immediately became a suspect. They suspected that I pushed him down the stairs."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Zhou Luoyang began to realize the seriousness of the matter. What kind of job is Du Jing doing?I haven't seen him for three years. From the moment he reappeared, he was full of mysteries without any explanation.

Du Jing took out his work card, swiped it on the floor of the general manager's office, and walked straight into the company with ease.

"I don't have an alibi." Du Jing said, "I wanted to buy you lunch, but the criminal police took me into the car as soon as I got out. When I got out of the car, for some reason, the time suddenly returned to 24 hours ago. "

Zhou Luoyang: "What were you doing when he committed suicide?"

Du Jing didn't answer, he led Zhou Luoyang past the work station, and said, "This way, this is a blind spot for monitoring."

Zhou Luoyang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and forced him to ask: "What the hell are you doing?! You can't be Yu Jianqiang's assistant!"

Du Jing still didn't answer, let Zhou Luoyang sit on a chair, took out a folder from the cabinet, and said, "This is my desk, wait here, I'll open the door of his office, don't walk around .”

Zhou Luoyang said: "Answer my question first, otherwise I'll just leave. Leyao is still at home waiting for me to go back and help him take a bath."

As soon as Du Jing took a few steps, Zhou Luoyang stood up and said, "You don't believe me?"

Du Jing stopped without turning his head. He was silent for three seconds, and then replied:

"Starting at nine o'clock, I sat downstairs on a chair in the community all night until dawn."

Zhou Luoyang was silent. Du Jing put on his gloves and wiped the combination lock on Yu Jianqiang's office door, and the numbers lit up one by one.

Du Jing opened the folder, compared the photos on it, and identified the fingerprints.

Zhou Luoyang frowned tightly, staring at Du Jing's standing back, there was a few beeps, the digital light on the electronic lock dimmed, and the door failed to open.

Zhou Luoyang turned his attention to Du Jing's desk, which was very clean. There was only a laptop plugged in for charging, and a can with a little soil in it. A small green plant was planted in the soil.The can is marked with a key full of design sense: "DZ", the turning point of "Z" and the letter "D" are stacked on top of each other.

"This kind of electronic lock can usually only be wrong three times," Zhou Luoyang reminded when he heard the second error report, "If you want to enter your boss's office to steal something, you have to come back another day."

Du Jing pondered for a moment, frowning, and he pieced together the six-digit password to open the door by resetting his fingerprints, but it was difficult to find its sequence. After observing for two full months, he had to take a risk today.

Because Yu Jianqiang will commit suicide soon, and at that time, this office will be sealed and he will no longer be able to enter.

"No need to change another day, what if it happens again on September [-]th?" Du Jing said lightly.

"Don't say that!" Zhou Luoyang's hairs immediately stood on end.

The door lock made a musical sound and opened. Du Jing was relieved. Next, he will face the second test.

"Come on," Du Jing said, "It's up to you."

Du Jing turned on the desk lamp in the office, closed the door behind him, motioned Zhou Luoyang to look at a safe under the bookshelf, and said, "Open it for me."

Zhou Luoyang: "........."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Zhou Luoyang finally understood why Du Jing asked about a safe inexplicably yesterday at noon.

"I have to go back and get the manual." Zhou Luoyang said.

"You can do it," Du Jing said, "without an instruction manual."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

"You have always had a good memory of the things I asked you to pay attention to." Du Jing said again.

Zhou Luoyang finally said, "Give me a glass."

Du Jing gave him a glass from under the table, took off his gloves, and threw them together.

Zhou Luoyang had no choice but to kneel and sit in front of the bookshelf, put on gloves, which were very thin, with Du Jing's scorching body temperature on them, and even a little smell of his skin.

"Have you changed your career to become a thief?" Zhou Luoyang stuck the glass on the safe and listened to the sound inside.

Zhou Luoyang knelt on one knee. He had to turn sideways to recognize the mechanical sound in the safe. Du Jing walked over and sat on a chair with his long legs slightly apart, sitting in front of him.

Du Jing faced Zhou Luoyang, leaned slightly, and looked into his eyes.

"I thought about being a thief," Du Jing said, "It's a pity that there are many things in the world, even if you have the ability to steal them, you can't steal them."

"You stole a full 24 hours."

Zhou Luoyang spun the cipher wheel, and looked up at Du Jing. The half-bright light of the desk lamp was cast on Du Jing's side face. The scar across the bridge of the nose and his deep eyes gave him a handsome look.He is more mature and restrained than he was three years ago.

"For me, time is not the most important thing." Du Jing replied casually.

"So what do you want to steal?" Zhou Luoyang had a hunch that there must be something very, very important in the safe, otherwise Du Jing would not have taken such a big risk and chose to sneak into Yu Jianqiang's office at the last moment.

Du Jing's lips moved slightly, and he replied.

"your heart."

Zhou Luoyang didn't answer, and he didn't even bother to talk to him, he just listened carefully to the sound in the safe.

After a long silence, Zhou Luoyang couldn't help but speak again.

Zhou Luoyang: "Say something more? I'm so sleepy that I'm about to fall asleep."

Du Jing: "I'm afraid of disturbing you."

Zhou Luoyang: "Who is I? I look down on me so much?"

Du Jing said seriously: "What do you want to talk about?"

In the middle of the night, under the light of the desk lamp, there is a different kind of romantic atmosphere.

"Kneeling towards you makes me very uncomfortable." Zhou Luoyang searched for the notification sound from the safe with difficulty.

Du Jing got up and knelt down in front of Zhou Luoyang. Zhou Luoyang knelt on one knee and Du Jing knelt on both knees. The two of them just knelt and faced each other, looking into each other's eyes without moving.

"How about this?" Du Jing looked at Zhou Luoyang's expression.

"It's still too high." Zhou Luoyang frowned.

Even if Du Jing was kneeling, he was a little taller than Zhou Luoyang. Hearing this, he bowed slightly and moved his face closer.

Zhou Luoyang looked at him intently, and said, "How are you doing these past few years?"

"It's bad," Du Jing replied, "It's worse than you can imagine."

"Thinking about suicide?"

"No, I promised you that even if I leave, I will say goodbye seriously and politely. It must be done."

"So it's time to come back and say goodbye?"

"Not yet."

"That's good." Zhou Luoyang was satisfied after hearing this answer.

Du Jing said, "You just want me to live in this world and suffer."

"Yes," Zhou Luoyang said, "Seeing you suffer makes me feel good."

"It's 'imagine me suffering'." Du Jing corrected.

Zhou Luoyang replied, "It's almost the same."

Du Jing: "Are you tired? Change your posture?"

For a long time, Du Jing didn't speak again, and Zhou Luoyang said casually, "Your confidence in me is slowly shaking as time goes by."

Du Jing replied: "It doesn't matter. We still have a lot of time. I am willing to kneel until the morning. This is something with a password. You have to be patient. I didn't have much hope."

Zhou Luoyang: "Every device in the world with a password set must be prepared for the password to be forgotten. Most safes have a reset method, but many people don't know it."

He had a hunch that he was on the verge of success, until he heard a faint thump from inside the safe.

Then, he put down the cup, Du Jing immediately illuminated the turntable with his mobile phone, Zhou Luoyang found the corresponding small gap, reset it, and the safe opened.

Du Jing stretched out his hand and took out a thick file bag from the safe with his fingers.

"What is this?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

Du Jing replied: "The ledger and the company's financial details."

Then, Du Jing took Zhou Luoyang's hand, reached in and felt around, but there was nothing inside, so he closed the safe door.

In a distant place, there was a slight "beep" sound.

Zhou Luoyang turned his head and looked around for where the sound was coming from, but Du Jing recognized that it was the sound of a punch card.

He made a judgment in an instant, pulled Zhou Luoyang up, stuffed the file bag into his arms, rolled the glass into the bottom of the bookshelf at the same time, jumped at the doorknob when he got up, twisted the door, and walked out of the office while covering Zhou Luoyang with one hand mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

Zhou Luoyang staggered, his feet became numb from kneeling for too long, Du Jing immediately noticed, hugged him, drifted outside the workstation, slid along the carpet, pushed Zhou Luoyang under his desk, and immediately lay down on the table.

Just a second after he sat up, all the lights on the general manager's office floor turned on.

Yu Jianqiang entered the office with a long fitness bag on his shoulders, and was immediately taken aback by Du Jing. He didn't expect that there were still people in the office when it was nearly twelve o'clock.

"What are you doing here?"

Du Jing raised his head, stood up with blank eyes, Yu Jianqiang made a gesture, and Du Jing sat down again.

"Come back and think about something," Du Jing said, "I fell asleep thinking about it."

Yu Jianqiang nodded, without asking any further questions, turned around to swipe his card, and entered his office with a heavy heart.

Zhou Luoyang curled up under the table, clamped by Du Jing's long legs, unable to move around, and unable to poke his head out to look at it, and began to remove the tether from the file bag, making a little noise.

Du Jing immediately kicked off his shoes, and lightly stepped on Zhou Luoyang's arms, signaling him not to touch the file bag without authorization.Zhou Luoyang locked Du Jing's ankle and was about to scratch him, but Du Jing shrank his feet, reached down from the table, and handed him a wireless earphone.

Zhou Luoyang: "?"

Zhou Luoyang stopped teasing him, and put on the wireless earphones, while Du Jing put on the other one. Yu Jianqiang's conversation on the phone came from the bug installed in the office.

"How much do you want?"

Yu Jianqiang suppressed his anger and said, "Once again, again and again, my patience is limited!"

Zhou Luoyang thought to himself, was he blackmailed?

Yu Jianqiang replied: "This is the last time, take your things with you."

Listening to Yu Jianqiang's call, Zhou Luoyang put the shoes on Du Jing casually, put his right hand still wearing a thin leather glove on Du Jing's thigh, and patted it lightly.

Du Jing put his hand on the back of Zhou Luoyang's hand, stretched out his finger, hooked it into the edge of the glove, gently took it off, and put it in the pocket of his suit.

Yu Jianqiang came out with his bag on his shoulders, and Du Jing asked, "Send you back?"

"No need." Yu Jianqiang said, "Go back to bed early."

Du Jing didn't speak any more, Yu Jianqiang left the office with an unnatural expression.After a while, Zhou Luoyang came out from under the table and met Du Jing's eyes.

"What if he said 'yes'? Did he mean to let me walk home?" Zhou Luoyang breathed out.

Du Jing put one foot on the desk, tied up the laces of his leather shoes, and still had that expressionless indifferent face: "He won't let me deliver it, the bag is full of cash, five or six million."

"Oh?" Zhou Luoyang put the file bag on the table, Du Jing still wrapped the rope, got up and said, "I'll take you home first."

Zhou Luoyang said: "Then sit downstairs in my community for another night?"

Du Jing didn't say anything, and went to the security office to delete the elevator monitoring. After getting in the car, Zhou Luoyang said, "I suddenly changed my mind again."

Du Jing: "How long have you not slept, are you not sleepy at all?"

Zhou Luoyang replied: "You haven't slept for several days, and you're not sleepy."

"I am sick, but you are not." Du Jing simply replied.

Zhou Luoyang said, "You want to send me home, and then follow Yu Jianqiang."

Du Jing turned the steering wheel and turned, but didn't answer.

Zhou Luoyang: "I'll accompany you, sleep in the car for a while, and call me when we arrive."

Du Jing still didn't answer.

Zhou Luoyang finally said, "The suit fits you well."

"It's from the company, including shirts, shoes and socks." Du Jing heard Zhou Luoyang's overtones, and replied, "I'm still single, and I didn't harm anyone."

"Ok."

Zhou Luoyang closed his eyes, leaned against the car window, and replied.
