don't sacrifice

"…Are you OK?"

The person in front of him had only been seen for a few days, but he seemed much weaker.And his name was stuck in Zhou Qichen's throat, like a swallowed date stone, he couldn't say it somehow.

Bai Huaijin just looked up at him halfway, then passed him by.It seemed that he was regarded as air, and he was just hit by the air.

He just went away.Just leave?Zhou Qichen's neck seemed to be covered with vines in an instant, entangled him so that he was so stiff that he couldn't turn his head to look at his departed sweetheart.It's just that I suddenly feel like I don't know him anymore, everything is over before it starts.

He saw Xiao Xu and another little policeman walking towards him side by side, and he should have finished taking notes.He turned his face away, not wanting them to see his lost expression at the moment.

"What's going on?" Xiao Xu came over first, as if he had sensed something was wrong.

"Chasing after him!" He pushed Zhou Qichen with his shoulder, but Zhou Qichen still stood silently, like a frozen puppet.

Looking up, he was finally able to catch the last figure of his back around the corner.Still so decisive, it seems that he has never met him before.

"It's useless to chase." Finally, I can't see it...

"You..." Xiao Xu was a little dazed, he looked at Zhou Qichen, and then at the empty corridor in the distance, "Don't do this, show your usual vigor! You shouldn't give up like this!"

"No." Zhou Qichen said, "Maybe I can only bring him harm, our intersection is wrong."

And the low tone seemed to be comforting himself, "Fortunately, it's over before it starts."

After speaking, he also walked in the opposite direction, turned and left at the end of the corridor.

Only Xiao Xu was left alone.

"Damn it... what's going on..." Xiao Xu looked at the two roads on both sides. Although they were connected at that time, there was no intersection at this time.

"Could it be that the relationship between men is more complicated than that between men and women?"

Zhou Qichen walked straight out of the gate of the police station and lit a cigarette in the courtyard.The smoke curled up, and the bitter taste in the nasal cavity slightly diffused into the mouth.

what is this?Zhou Qichen laughed at himself.That young and pale life seemed to flash by like this, a faint wound slid down the tip of his heart, and the blood dripped into a cinnabar mole.There seems to be a gap between the two of them. He is still immature, but he has experienced the cruelty of the world and the great tragedy of his life.But he has already hurt people's hearts with his decline, but he is afraid of hurting others again.

I'm so fucking unhappy.Zhou Qichen took another deep breath.This is not the first time he has been a coward, but he really dare not approach him blatantly again.Although, he would definitely help Xiaobai get through this difficulty secretly, but he could no longer walk towards him openly.

At this moment, neither of them can predict the turbulence of the river of fate, which will bring the two of them together and then wash them away.But no one knows where they will meet in the next moment.

Xiao Bai came out from another door and returned to the street full of cars and horses.He looked up and found that it was already noon, the time when light and heat were maximized.

The summer vacation was almost over, he thought to himself, this was the most ridiculous summer he had ever experienced.

For the first time, he was looking forward to the start of school so much, and now perhaps only study can fill the void in his heart that has passed away like quicksand.

There were crisp footsteps in the empty corridor, and the young man returned to the door alone.He took out the key from the bag and opened the familiar door.

The room that hadn't been lived in for a few days looked particularly deserted at the moment, as if it had become a strange place with some dust in just a few days.Bai Huaijin put the bag back in her room, feeling a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

When I went to the kitchen, I found a few bags. When I opened it, it turned out to be something I bought in the supermarket that day.I don't know who brought it back, it should be Zhou Qichen.

Some food has been spoiled in summer, thinking of the freshness that was specially selected at the beginning, Xiao Bai suddenly felt a little annoyed.He packed all the ingredients together and piled them outside the door, planning to throw them away at that time.

Everything seemed to be calm again.

"This time Qingshan seems to be doomed."

During lunch time, Xiao Xu and Zhou Qichen packed a meal in the cafeteria and returned to the office for dinner.While eating Xiao Xu, he analyzed it with Zhou Qichen.

"Really?" Zhou Qichen took a spoonful of soup and said absently while blowing.

"Yes, maybe not at all." Xiao Xu glanced around, "But do you think our chief will let him stay?"

Zhou Qichen shook his hands, and the soup that had been blown cold was shaken back into the bowl, "The director can't do it, can he?"

"Why not!" Xiao Xu raised his voice slightly, "Old Tu is going to retire soon, so naturally he has to solve this hidden danger thoroughly. It doesn't matter to others, but that Qingshan, he has to..."

As he spoke, he gestured for a pistol with his hand, and made a gesture on his temple.

Then the two looked at each other, relieved at the same time, and lowered their heads to eat.

Zhou Qichen had already expected Qingshan's ending, and he didn't care about it at first, but his words in the interrogation room made people feel a little uncomfortable.

I just don't know what Jiang Yuan will think when he finds out.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qichen took out his mobile phone from his pocket, ready to send a text message to Jiang Yuan.After much deliberation, I sent out a "Where are you?"

It's just that Jiang Yuan never replied to him, and it wasn't until Zhou Qichen got off work in the afternoon that he realized that there was an extra unread text message on his phone.

"I don't want to stay in a hotel alone, can I go to your house?"

Zhou Qichen frowned slightly and sighed.But when he remembered that he had taken care of himself for a long time back then, he replied,

"Where are you now, I'll pick you up."

This text message was returned quickly.

"KFC at the intersection of Qingshan Road, I'll wait for you at the door."

Zhou Qichen drove the car and hurried there.On the way, he was still thinking about what kind of reaction Jiang Yuan would have if he heard that passage, whether he would regret it, and whether he should tell him.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at Qingshan intersection, Zhou Qichen looked around, and saw a tall figure standing in front of KFC not far away, holding a stick of Yuxi expressionlessly, slightly entangled in smoke.

"Get in the car." He drove the car in front of Jiang Yuan, pressed the glass and said to him.

Seeing that it was him, Jiang Yuan threw away most of the remaining cigarettes and crushed them on the ground.Detour to the co-pilot, open the door and sit down.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." He suddenly became so polite this time, Zhou Qichen was slightly uncomfortable.

"No trouble." Zhou Qichen put into gear and turned back, "Didn't you help me before?"

Jiang Yuan curled his lips on the co-pilot, his eyes scattered all over the place, and he seemed to have regained some agility, no longer the lonely expression he had when he was alone.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Qichen, his gaze made Zhou Qichen a little nervous, and his movements became a little stiff.

"What are you looking at?" he asked sideways.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have a particularly good-looking profile when driving?" This seems to be the same rambunctious Jiang Yuan from before.

Zhou Qichen gave him a hard look, thinking that he was being dishonest again, so he stopped talking.

It's the rush hour for getting off work right now, so there's enough traffic along the way.On the way, Zhou Qichen hesitated several times, wanting to tell Jiang Yuan what Qingshan asked him to convey, but he didn't know how to say it.

Finally, he chose to be more direct,

"That... My colleague told me today that Qingshan is probably going to be finished this time..."

"None of my business!" Unexpectedly, before Zhou Qichen finished speaking, Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows indifferently and interrupted him, "I have nothing to do with him anymore."

Zhou Qichen was already on fire in his heart, but now he was even more agitated.I thought to myself that I was still afraid that he would be worried, so I mentioned it so carefully, and deliberately concealed the words of Qingshan.Although he didn't have any good feelings for Qingshan at all, but what he said a few days later respected him as a man.And looking at Jiang Yuan's current state, it doesn't look like he will have any regrets at all.

"It's just a sentence that doesn't matter?" Zhou Qichen's tone was sarcasm, "I only thought that Qingshan was a gangster who did all kinds of evil, but he really touched you with [-]% sincerity. He knew that you were the one who brought it up." Yes, but he still misses you and wants to protect you."

"I think it's superfluous to say anything to wish you happiness." Zhou Qichen glanced sideways at Jiang Yuan's reaction.Seeing that he still didn't seem to have any expression on his face, Zhou Qichen's tone became even more mocking, "How can a person like you be unhappy?"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan just pursed his lips slightly, and a smile appeared on that charming face in an instant.

"You're right, that's the kind of person I am." His smile was like a dahlia blooming brilliantly in the middle of the night, unfathomable, "I've had enough of what he did for me, so I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore gone."

"The man I want is not a mouse in the gutter who can only say empty blessings, but an eagle who can take me away from the past forever." A car light shone, lighting up the deepest desire in his eyes.This is his pursuit, the pursuit of abandoning everything.

"Even if it is a ruthless eagle, I am willing to love it."

"You'll regret it." Zhou Qichen pursed his lips, and the car had already arrived at its destination, and finally stopped slowly by the side of the road.

Looking at the lights of thousands of families outside, it is a lonely lamp and a shadow at home.

Xiao Bai raised his head from the book, only feeling a little dizzy from hunger.There is no food at home, and the ones thrown away at the door have been taken away by the cleaning lady.He had no choice but to lower his head again, perhaps he could forget hunger in the sinking book.

Suddenly there was a vibrating sound from the mobile phone, and he slowly took out the mobile phone from his schoolbag.

Who is the one?There seems to be a glimmer of expectation.

"It's actually her..." Xiao Bai couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the familiar name.

"Hey?"

He picks up the phone.

"You finally answered the phone, I've been calling you for several days!" The girl's brisk and joyful voice came from the other end of the phone, "I tell you, I have returned to China a few days ago! How about it, surprise or not Is it a surprise? My mother has promised me to go back to Changle for my third year of high school, and we can be classmates again!"

"It's so good." Hearing her joyful words like a cannonball, although Xiao Bai was also very happy, he couldn't lift his emotions for a while.

"What's wrong with you, why are you listless?" The girl seemed to hear his tone, "Aren't you happy that I'm back?"

"It's okay, I'm also very happy! I'm just a little hungry, so..." Xiaobai hurriedly explained.

"You haven't eaten yet?" There was an exclamation from the other side of the phone, "Why haven't you eaten so late?"

"...Xinian, something happened recently, my sister passed away." After hesitating for a moment, Xiaobai still told his childhood partner all the sad experiences during this period.On the other end of the phone, Luo Shannian had been listening quietly without making any sound.

"Let's do this." Finally, after Xiaobai finished talking, she said slowly, "I'll go to you with some food first, and I'll talk to you in detail tonight."

"You want to live in my house?" Xiao Bai was slightly surprised.

"What's the matter, didn't you always do that before?" Luo Shannian laughed like a silver bell, as if the two of them were still childhood sweethearts, "Wait for me!" After finishing speaking, he hung up hastily.

"Ok."

Putting down the phone, Xiaobai walked out of the room and turned on the light in the living room.At this time, the tears contained in the eyes fell wantonly.
