don't sacrifice

Following the flow of people, Bai Zhongli floated in and out of the city's busy subway.Today's accident actually allowed him to catch up with the rush hour for get off work, but in the crowded subway, he suddenly felt that he was separated from everyone by a gray film.

In the end, he escaped from the crowd, leaving only his own shadow elongated by the moonlight.He was still disappointed, and suddenly realized that no matter where he was at the moment, he was all alone.

Back home, again in the dark with no escape.Bai Zhongli then turned on the light, the light in his living room was intentionally placed extra bright, this was the best way for him to escape from the darkness.

He sat down on the sofa, opened his notebook and portfolio, and planned to analyze the smuggling case alone.Only when he is involved in a case can he really concentrate on it.

But this time it seems that something is not working.He had only been working on the draft in front of him for less than 3 minutes, when an inexplicable hand grabbed his train of thought, dragged him abruptly back to that empty room, and inexplicably dragged his thoughts back to this morning, that scene A sudden but destined encounter.

Wan Feiguang... Wan Yunmu...

He closes his eyes.Let two such similar faces intertwine, twist and overlap in the darkness in front of them.Although the faces were so similar, he could tell them apart without having to identify them.The one he loved so much, always had a sunny arc at the corner of his mouth, high-spirited, but looked at him with such soft eyes, as if he was going to run towards him in the next second and hold his hand tightly.

But Wan Feiguang's face was blurred, missing the spirit in his eyes.Bai Zhongli has not had the opportunity to get to know the person under the skin, but in his impression of him today, he has already felt an inexplicable sense of rejection.

That forgiveness was false, he did not forgive his lover for the existence of the so-called younger brother, and shared such a similar face with his lover.What is even more unforgiving is the face that made me lose my composure and misrecognized it, just when I thought I had finally adjusted the balance of my thoughts, but it was broken so casually in the end.

He leaned back on the sofa for a while, but his mind became even more confused.He couldn't stand the case anymore, so he simply threw away the documents in his hand, prepared to wash up and go to rest early.

Before going to bed, Bai Zhongli hesitated in front of the stereo in the bedroom, finally he plugged in the power and pressed the switch.In these years of fighting against the darkness, Bai Zhongli has developed a bad habit.He often couldn't sleep at night, and the silence of the night filled his body like a nightmare, corroding and swallowing his calmness during the day.At night, when he is most vulnerable, only music reaches out to him and can give him temporary protection.

He finally turned off all the lights, hurried back to the bed and lay down, and adjusted the sound of the speakers to the maximum.He closed his eyes in the dark night, and the sound of the ding-dong piano filled his ears, but he could still feel that at this moment, the abyss was still beside him, still watching him silently.

At this moment, slight footsteps sounded in the corridor, and someone was going upstairs.The footsteps were much more steady than this morning, and seemed to bring some small joy, pattering and pattering awakened the dark red lights in the corridor.But when that person came to this floor, there was a small pause.

Across the door, the sound of Ding Dong's piano leaked from the crack of the door.Wan Feiguang was a little surprised. It turns out that there are people living downstairs in his house, and he can play the piano... It's just that it's so late, is it really good to have such a loud voice?

The voice-activated light suddenly went out, and he just came back to his senses and shook his head?——Whatever, it probably won't last long.He raised his footsteps again, and the sound of footsteps awakened the dim light again.

For Wan Feiguang, today is a happy day.After all, the boss Qin Chuan is so magnanimous, and giving himself a subsidy mercifully is enough for him to be happy for the first half of the year.And today he had an inexplicably good sleep. Although the dream was hazy, the sense of satisfaction still vaguely remained in his heart.

It's just that when he took out the key, his fingertips touched the note again.He read every word above carefully, but he couldn't identify whose pen the strange font came from.The font is neat, clean and clear, like a warm hand smoothing away all his anxiety, and then disappearing.

When he entered the door, he laid out the note neatly, and placed it properly at the bottom of the drawer.Then he stretched his waist and smiled with satisfaction.The icy piano sound penetrated the bondage of the floor and echoed in the silent night.

"Should the people downstairs be so diligent..."

Wan Feiguang curled his lips, always thinking that the concert would be enough.He didn't care about it either, and walked to the bathroom, ready to wash up and go to sleep.

But who knew that the sound of the piano never showed any signs of stopping, and instead became more and more crazy.It seems that Beethoven's Symphony of Destiny has been played, and the passionate piano sound is more vigorous in the quiet night. It seems that every note will resonate with the listener and shake to the depths of the soul.

But the listener Wan Feiguang was paralyzed on the bed like that, and seemed a little irritable.He turned over and pulled the quilt over his head, but he could still hear him.He secretly complained that the sound insulation effect of this dilapidated house was too bad, and he also scolded the people downstairs for being too immoral and disturbing the people without measure.

Finally, Wan Feiguang couldn't bear it any longer, he stood up from the bed with a bang, put on his slippers and pushed open the door angrily, ready to go down and meet this annoying neighbor for a while.

At this moment, Bai Zhongli fell asleep to the sound of exciting music.I don't know if it was also because of the background music that he didn't sleep well enough.There was some consciousness left in the dream, but it was full of panic. He wanted to hide, to escape this anxiety, but there was nothing he could do. He could only let the lapels of his pajamas be wet with cold sweat.

"Boom boom boom——"

Like a wild animal stretching out its claws, it suddenly tore apart the only remaining hiding place he had.As if falling into an abyss, Bai Zhongli subconsciously stepped into the air, and then opened his eyes in the dark while singing the intense tune.

He tried his best to breathe evenly in his chest, and supported himself up with his backhand, but it was cold under the blanket.

"Boom boom boom——"

So late, who could it be?Trembling, he stood up from the bed and turned off the speaker.Then, with doubts and anxiety, he walked slowly towards his door.Walking all the way, pressing and turning on bright lights all the way.In an instant, the room was like daylight, and it was not so scary anymore.

He could use a policeman's tone to test seriously, "Who is it?"

It would be even better if the voice wasn't trembling involuntarily.

"I'm your upstairs neighbor, you open the door!"

Although the music had stopped, Wan Feiguang was still a little angry and planned to scold the guy who disturbed his rest.

The angry voice seemed somewhat familiar.But there was no peephole on the door of Bai Zhongli's house, so he couldn't see the appearance of this angry guy.He didn't want to open the door for this menacing guy, but he involuntarily put his body on the doorknob, and slowly opened the door a small gap.

"…Is there any problem?"

"I said, did you make a mistake, look at what time it is!" Wan Feiguang didn't dare to 21 [-], pulled the door to the maximum, and vomited out all he wanted to say, " Even if it’s you practicing the piano, you still practice during the day, since everyone is sleeping in the middle of the night, and you still work so hard, it disturbs people’s sleep, okay... Huh?”

But when he spoke halfway, he suddenly recognized the person in front of him.The little policeman who asked if he was alive looked so thin in the dark night, and his limbs were even more slender under the baggy pajamas.His face was pale and his lips were slightly long.He obviously recognized himself, and there was a strange light in his eyes when he looked at him. It seemed to be surprised, but with a bit of joy.

"It's you... What a coincidence..." Wan Feiguang suddenly softened and scratched his head embarrassingly.

The figure that was still dangling in front of his eyes just now really appeared in front of him at this moment.Bai Zhongli was stunned with a bit of surprise, as if his dream had come true.

"Yeah, what a coincidence, you actually live here too."

"Well, I'll live upstairs from your house." Wan Feiguang stiffly raised his finger and pointed in the direction of his house.

"Did I disturb you just now?" Bai Zhongli smiled a little embarrassedly, digging at the crack of the door with his fingers awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, I will pay attention next time."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!" For some reason, his appearance made Wan Feiguang lose the motivation to blame him.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly fell silent.

"Why don't you come in and sit down?"

It was Bai Zhongli who spoke first, and he turned slightly to give up his position.

"Forget it, it's so late, you have to rest..."

Wan Feiguang declined, but still stood at the door with no intention of leaving.

There was another burst of silence.

"I still, go back first."

Finally, Wan Feiguang couldn't find a reason to continue standing here, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally prepared to leave, "Go to bed early, good night."

"Hmm..." Bai Zhongli's fingers gripped the crack of the door tightly, he wanted him to stay.At this moment, in this irresistible night, he wanted him to stay with him, even if it was just standing against each other like this.

But he finally let go, "Okay, I'm sorry. Good night."

After watching Wan Feiguang go upstairs, he sighed and closed his house gently.The voice-activated lights in the corridor went out again, and he didn't have the courage to turn off the lights in the living room.With his back to the door, he slumped heavily and sat on the ground.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps in the corridor approached from far away, pattering and pattering bringing back the light.A few seconds later, the knock on the door echoed in the quiet night again.

"Boom boom boom——"

Without any hesitation, Bai Zhongli opened the door.Sure enough, Wan Fei stood outside the door, and the dim light cast a warm color on him.With a slight embarrassment on his face, he smiled at him a little embarrassedly,

"I was in a hurry to go out just now, and I forgot to bring the key..."

"Ah, that's it." Bai Zhongli suddenly calmed down on the surface, but his body responded cheerfully.He dodged, and signaled to the guy outside the door, "Come in, come to my house for a night."

"How embarrassing is this..." Wan Feiguang shied away, but one foot had already stepped into the door...
