don't sacrifice

In the evening, the city began to drizzle, and in an instant, mist emerged, covering the tall buildings and buildings, and everything became ethereal.

Xiao Bai brought the last plate of dishes to the table, looked back at the sleeping guest on the sofa again, and sighed softly.He felt more and more familiar with this person, but there were too many things in his mind for a while, so he couldn't remember the identity of this person.

In the past two days, he has been busy with the final training of the undercover agent. The director personally taught him various coping methods and contact methods every day.As an intern, he was just in his early twenties, and what he had originally mastered was limited to book knowledge, but this is the first time he has accepted such a big project in practice, and he himself is too nervous to control himself.

In fact, what he didn't tell Zhou Qichen was that today was the last day of training, but tomorrow he would go alone to that place full of unknown horrors.But at this moment, instead of fear, there is more unconcealable excitement and a little anxiety.

He didn't know how this trip would end, so he planned to cook a good meal, which could be regarded as saying goodbye to Zhou Qichen silently.He even ordered a small cake from downstairs, because Zhou Qichen's birthday will be in a few days, but he will definitely not be able to be by Zhou Qichen's side that day.

He lit the candles one by one, and inserted them neatly on the cake.Turning off the lights, combined with the gentle drizzle and breeze outside the window, and the faint sound of breathing from Jiang Yuan in the room, everything seems to be perfect.

Of course, the most important person in this happy scene has not yet arrived. Xiaobai looked up at the watch on the wall, and saw that the hour and minute hands had passed their off-duty time early.

—Is he going to work overtime tonight?Xiaobai murmured in his heart, walked to the living room, and sat down beside Jiang Yuan.

This familiar yet unfamiliar man seemed to be aware of his approach, and even arched in his direction a few times, rubbing against him like a cat.

Maybe it was because the cat made him feel safe, so Xiaobai didn't think carefully about where he had seen such a face.He also yawned and fell asleep leaning on the sofa pillows...

I don't know how long it took, he only felt that his body began to feel cold, so his consciousness began to gradually wake up.However, a clear sneezing sound woke him up from his dream again.

"Ah!"

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Jiang Yuan, who was curled up beside him, had also opened his eyes, rubbing his nose and saying in a low voice, "It's so cold..."

Xiao Bai sat up from the sofa, looked at the watch in the restaurant again, it was past ten o'clock.

Why hasn't Zhou Qichen come back yet?He started to feel worried, so he got up and looked for his mobile phone to call Zhou Qichen.

However, Jiang Yuan also got up in a daze, followed behind him and said in a soft voice, "I... how long have I been asleep?"

"Sleep from four o'clock until now..." Xiaobaitou replied without looking back.

"Really, it's been so long..." Jiang Yuan suddenly glanced at the table in the restaurant, and his small eyes suddenly lit up.He pursed his lips, and asked with some embarrassment, "When shall we have dinner?"

Xiao Bai, who just found the phone and was about to dial, was taken aback, and slowly raised his head to look at the table.Only then did he realize that the candles on the cake had all been burned out, and the cold wax oil was stuck on the cream, making it look extraordinarily miserable.

However, Jiang Yuan seemed to be really hungry, before waiting for Xiaobai's approval, he stretched out his hand and squeezed a piece of meat from the plate.But before he could put the meat in his mouth, he suddenly stopped.

"I forgot, you have to wash your hands before eating!" As he spoke, he looked at the meat in his hand, and then at Xiaobai not far away, not knowing whether to put it down or eat it.

Xiaobai sighed, put the phone back where it was, stood up and said, "Go and wash your hands first, I'll heat up the dishes first."

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan agreed, and ran to the bathroom in a hurry. After a while, there was the sound of rushing water.

However, when Xiaobai brought the food to the table again, Zhou Qichen still didn't come back.Even Jiang Yuan was aware of this problem, and asked Xiao Bai with his chin in his hands, "Hey, why hasn't Ah Chen come back?"

"..." Xiaobai was actually very worried, "I'll call him and ask."

However, before the number was broadcast, the door of the room was suddenly opened.Xiao Bai turned his head abruptly, only to see Zhou Qichen walking in hurriedly, covered in rain.

As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the dining table, picked up a glass of water and drank it up.And Xiaobai stood up silently, went to the bathroom and took out a dry towel, leaned over to him and stood on tiptoe to wipe his wet hair.

"Why are you thick and swollen?" However, Jiang Yuan, who was full of food and slurred his speech, also raised his head, tried his best to swallow what was in his mouth, and asked curiously, "Is... the traffic jam?"

"How could it be so late in the traffic jam?" Zhou Qichen seemed to finally catch his breath after drinking the glass of water.He turned around, grabbed Xiaobai's hand who was wiping his hair, and said with a serious face, "Zhongli is missing."

"What?" Xiaobai was taken aback, looking at Zhou Qichen's furrowed eyebrows and anxious expression, he could be sure that this matter was extraordinary.His own heart also rose to his throat, and he stuttered, "Why...how did this happen? When did it happen?"

Zhou Qichen didn't care about the steaming food on the table, poured himself another glass of water, and told Xiaobai what happened while drinking, "Sunian was going to find Zhongli for dinner at noon today, but he found him We couldn't find him. At that time, we still felt that nothing happened, and he didn't come back until we went to work in the afternoon. Then, when we were about to get off work, a young man suddenly ran to the police station and said Why Zhongli is in danger now..."

"What danger?" Xiao Bai couldn't help interrupting.

"He couldn't explain clearly, he just said that Zhongli called him and asked him for help." Zhou Qichen took another glass of water and continued, "Luo Shannian was about to cry after hearing this, and then the director asked us to ask for help." Hurry up and send the police to find him, but since I found it after four o'clock in the afternoon, there is still no news..."

"How could this happen..." Xiao Bai's heart also tugged, and he immediately said to Zhou Qichen, "Then I will go with you too!"

"No, no, no..." Zhou Qichen hurriedly waved his hands at him and refused, "The chief of the department told me that this matter would be kept secret from you. But I decided to tell you because I was afraid that you might worry. But the department The boss gave me thousands of warnings, saying that you have an important mission and are the key protection object, so you will not be allowed to call the police tonight!"

"But..." Xiaobai still wanted to explain something, but Zhou Qichen pressed his shoulders and said with a serious face, "No but, you have to obey orders obediently. There are us in Zhongli, don't worry, we are We will never put him in any danger again!"

Seeing this, Xiaobai could only silently swallow back the words in his mouth, and nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Zhou Qichen sighed, and lowered his head to press a kiss on his forehead.Then he hurriedly raised his head again, without even saying goodbye, he left in a hurry again.

"Ah, he didn't bring an umbrella!" However, after Zhou Qichen left, Xiaobai remembered this incident belatedly, and hurried back to the bedroom to get an umbrella, and ran out the door.

At this moment, only Jiang Yuan was left in the room.He had been lowering his head to eat, but suddenly raised his head at this moment.

"Important task..." He recollected the information accidentally revealed in the conversation between Xiaobai and Zhou Qichen just now, after thinking for a moment, he quietly took out a mini mobile phone from his pocket, and smoothly dialed a number...
