coexist in vain

Once the mission plan is finalized, everything is on the line.

Yu Wen, graduated from an ordinary college, left his hometown after graduating from college, wandered in the city, and temporarily rented a small apartment of [-] square meters with someone else.

The co-tenant and good friend, Ji Chen, dropped out of high school and founded HIT, an independent hip-hop studio, making a living by teaching hip-hop.

Another ambush for Du Yichen is the background of returnees.

"The fake identities have been prepared. Tomorrow you two will report to the company with your files."

"Okay." Du Yichen took the file bag from Zheng Chenglie.

"You and Yu Wen's fake identities don't know each other. Be careful in Menghai, and be careful not to be followed by dogs. If there is an unexpected situation, you can contact us at HIT."

"Don't worry, I understand, it's not the first day I went undercover."

"It's inconvenient for you to live with Yu Wen and the others because of your status. The newly rented apartment is closer to the company. You can go there by yourself in a while, right?"

"No problem, everything is according to the organization's arrangement. Don't worry about me." Du Yichen patted Zheng Chenglie on the shoulder.This captain really thought of everything.

"And this." Zheng Chenglie took out another long black brocade box from somewhere, and handed it to Du Yichen.

"Boy!"

After guessing what it was, Du Yichen couldn't wait to open the box.On the fine black velvet lay a knife impressively.The refined leather sheath is elegant and dignified.He looked up at Zheng Chenglie in disbelief, and then slowly opened the leather sheath.

ho.Just the color of the knife when it was unsheathed made Du Yichen smile.

"Handmade by a master craftsman, 36cm in length, ebony wood, Damascus steel, vacuum heat treatment. Xiaochen said you will like it."

"of course."

The shape of the knife is smooth, the blade is sharp, and the hardness is moderate. The pattern on the knife body presents a sense of retro elegance.Du Yichen looked at the Boi carefully.The ebony wood handle is excellent in texture, comfortable to hold in the hand, it is simply the best of Bowie.

"Just like it." Zheng Chenglie saw the gratitude in his eyes, "Recently, the police station has been acting aggressively. You should keep this knife for self-defense."

Hearing this, Du Yichen put the knife back into the scabbard very carefully and put it away.

"It is an honor in my life to be a non-staff member of the second group."

"What are you talking about? We are family."

There was a slight warmth in Zheng Chenglie's eyes.

On the other side, in the apartment rented by Yu Wen Jichen.

"Here, the key." Ji Chen patted Yu Wen's shoulder, "You and I will have one each."

"Ah, I didn't expect this house to be well decorated."

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back." Wu Kunyu who came in with a big cardboard box cast a sidelong glance at Qi Guangzhen.

"Anyway, it's not me going up the mountain of swords and going down into the sea of ​​fire. Of course I'm very calm."

"Come on, don't disturb my work." Yin Xiangqian, who was carefully measuring the murals on the wall and looking for the most suitable position for installing the pinhole camera, knocked Qi Guangzhen away impatiently.

Qi Guangzhen glared at him, but finally dared not speak out.

"Haha, you must be disgusted." Wu Kunyu, who was watching the excitement, laughed.

Qi Guangzhen returned him a standard international gesture.

"You're done. Xiaochen, test it." Hanging the mural again, Yin Xiangqian smiled proudly at the pinhole hidden by the perfect junction of light and shadow.

"can."

"Okay, the whole apartment has been installed with a [-]-hour monitor to prevent accidents. Your mobile phones and computers will be monitored by the team." Yin Xiangqian turned to Yu Wen, "This landline connected to broadband is used to prevent surveillance. Use this if you want to contact. I installed anti-monitoring equipment on it, which belongs to the security category."

"Thousands! Thousands!"

"What are you doing!" As expected, Yin Xiangqian was harassed by Qi Guangzhen who was doing nothing as soon as he finished his work.

"Come to the balcony! There's an Erha downstairs! Come and see, I'm dying of laughter hahaha!"

"Neuropathy."

Cursing like this, Yin Xiangqian obediently moved to the balcony.

He remembered Qi Guangzhen's meticulous appearance every time he practiced fighting in the headquarters.He kneels, he backs, he blocks, he attacks.He laughed when he won, but he was not depressed when he lost.Always look at things with a cheerful eye.Sweating is happiness, bleeding is happiness, helping others is happiness, and suffering is also happiness.

Spread your hands, what a psycho.

The style of the two bedrooms of the apartment is minimalist, with two classic colors of black and white, linear collocation and embellishment of metal ornaments, so people feel that the owner should be equally capable and elegant.At this time, Wu Kunyu was wiping the contents of the box with a wet tissue paper one by one, and placed them in the room according to the display at home.

"How is it, bro?" Hearing the footsteps behind him, Wu Kunyu turned around with a smile, as if waiting to be praised.

"When will we, Kunyu, take care of people?"

"I always will." Wu Kunyu muttered in a low voice, then held a photo frame and looked at Yu Wen flatteringly, his eyes sparkling, "Can you put this photo by your bedside? Then we can see each other every day."

Yu Wen looked at Wu Kunyu and himself with shoulders crossed and smiling brightly in the photo, and there was no objection.

"Thank you brother!" Surprised Wu Kunyu put it on the bedside table, and then put it in the most conspicuous position of the bedside table with a little dissatisfaction before giving up.

"Yu Wen...brother." He called out tentatively.

"Huh?" Yu Wen, who turned his back to look at the decoration of the room, didn't turn his head.

"Are you really not going back to live today?"

"To avoid suspicion, I have to go directly to Menghai to report from here tomorrow. Brother taught you all these things, I believe you understand."

"That's right." Wu Kunyu lowered his head unconsciously, feeling aggrieved, "But you are outside alone, what should you do if you are bullied, what should you do if you are injured, what should you do if you want to drink milk tea?"

"I have Ji Chen to accompany me, and you are following me 24 hours a day, so nothing will happen to me." Kind words were another relief, and Yu Wen couldn't help sighing, the child was too worried about himself. A little more.

"Then I'm still worried." Wu Kunyu took out the Rubik's Cube that he had been carrying in his pocket all the time, and said in a soft voice, "No matter what formula you use, it's a mess, Yu Wen... Brother, stay and teach me."

"Looking at how slippery you are playing with the gun, is a small Rubik's Cube stumped?" Seeing the young man showing weakness and acting coquettishly, Yu Wen's heart softened uncontrollably.

"Wu Kunyu, why don't you help Xiang Qian hide here and be lazy. I'm going to tell Brother Zheng." After completing the test, Ji Chen walked over and said with a smile, "Go and see if they have installed the balcony. Yu Wen and I have a little bit of a relationship." We need to talk about the mission."

"You still have to carry me behind your back." Even though he was dissatisfied, Wu Kunyu obediently left the bedroom.

Ji Chen quickly closed and locked the door, walked over and drew the thick dark purple curtains.Suddenly the room was pitch black, and even his complexion was a little cold.

"What did brother Zheng explain?"

Ji Chen turned his head, Yu Wen just sat quietly by the bed, his drooping hair covered his expression, making it hard to see clearly.

"It's not Zheng Chenglie, it's me."

"Did you quarrel with Zheng Chenglie?"

"It's not me and Zheng Chenglie." Yu Wen who talked about him like this reminded Ji Chen of the first time they met.

At the age of 13, Yu Wen's family was in decline, and Yu Wen, who was hunted down by his creditors, was rescued by the general and joined the organization.He was covered in blood, his eyes were cloudy, and he was trembling with a photo of a family of four in his hand.

"I know it all."

Except for the time with the members of the 0th generation, later Yu Wen never mentioned anything about his past; the information at that time was completely destroyed after Yu Wen joined the organization.Wu Kunyu, who had spent a long time investigating, only had a general understanding and could not go deeper.

"V's big mouth." It should have been clear about the matter of begging V, and everyone will know it within a week.Yu Wen sighed indiscriminately, but in order to get revenge, he had no choice but a well-informed friend.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"When this task is over, we will make a complete end." Yu Wen will never be soft-hearted when it comes to revenge.

He took out his mobile phone, and in the encrypted folder was a group photo of a family of four.

The father is majestic and loving, and the mother is dignified and elegant. The most distressing thing is that child, who is four years younger than himself, always likes to follow behind him and shout his brother and brother non-stop.His fingertips gently stroked the three faces that were gradually blurring in his memory.

"Do you miss them?"

"It's been so many years." Yu Wen smiled.

Actually think about it.

He would think of them late at night, when alone, when he was in a daze in the silent evening, or even when he turned his back for a moment of silence when talking with others.

Even though they were ultimately destined to be taken away from him, he still felt the unspeakable pain of flesh detaching from bone and limbs detaching from torso.

"Xiaochen, I often feel it's unfair. I embrace the pain of losing them and go on with all my life, but in their memory I will always be 13 years old and carefree. They can't see all my changes. They don't even know that I live twistedly out of hatred."

But I still love them.

Because I will never see them again in this world.

"Hey." Ji Chen, who didn't know what to say to comfort her friend, could only sigh.

"It's okay, I can do it myself."

"Sometimes, it seems that Wu Kunyu can be understood."

"Kunyu is just a child." Yu Wen couldn't help softening his expression when he thought of Wu Kunyu who was four years younger than him.

"If the children hear it, they will probably get angry again." Ji Chen joked.

"Only a child will get angry over a little thing, and keep arguing to grow up."

Yu Wen, who seemed to be recalling something, smiled again, "If he can live and grow up smoothly, he will look like this."

"That's why you can't take Kunyu as your younger brother's stand-in."

Wu Kunyu's intentions have long been no secret in the group, but unfortunately the other party, Yu Wen, always seems to understand.Yu Wen not only acts as a guide in schoolwork, but also a gentle and considerate good brother in life, but no matter which one, Yu Wen is an absolutely safe role.His discipline is out of guidance, and his pampering is out of elder brother's care; no matter which one is, it is completely different from liking or love.

"He is almost driven crazy by the darkness of this world. I don't want to be the last straw that crushes him." After a long silence, Yu Wen looked down at his palm.

"When I was young, I went to the temple to pray for blessings. A Taoist priest who claimed to be able to read palms held my hand several times. He said that my lifeline broke at the age of 13, but after that the lifeline miraculously started to move forward again. Extend until the life line and the love line intersect, and it will break again. If the family was destroyed at the age of 13 and KS gave me a miraculous rebirth, then who will cause the subsequent break? Will there be another one? A miracle of resurrection from the dead?"

In most cases, Yu Wen persevered and persisted through the years with the fearless spirit of life and death, wealth and honor.Suddenly one day, when he looked down at his palm, he would be confused for a while.

"Who are you afraid of?"

Yu Wen shook his head.

"That Taoist figured out everything about me when I was 13 years old."

"It's just a coincidence that people are still superstitious. You can believe the bad tricks used in novels." Ji Chen smiled to himself and gave Yu Wen a push.

One person's hope is another person's catastrophe.How cruel it would be to say that.

"What about you? You really don't want to go back and see your parents?"

Ji Chen's smile froze for a moment, "I was kicked out of the house by them a long time ago, so I have no right to go back."

"But at least they are still alive." Yu Wen looked straight at Ji Chen.

"It's because they are alive that I can't go back and make things difficult for them." Ji Chen stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around his friend's shoulders, "And Yu Wen, following Zheng Chenglie, I have never regretted it."

"regret……"

"You only have one life. I don't want to regret it when I get old." Ji Chen's voice was very soft but heavy, "There is only one Zheng Chenglie, if you miss it, you will lose it."

Sensing some wetness on his shoulders, Ji Chen considerately did not turn his head to look at the embarrassed Yu Wen.On weekdays, he pretended too well, and the bitterness and sadness hidden under his smile made people unable to catch any clues.

Yu Wen's crying was very soft, almost silent.Ji Chen hugged him harder.

He shouldn't force it.

Yu Wen, who bears the hatred of the whole family, how can he simply love Wu Kunyu, who is the only one in this world.

"Xiaochen, we have to leave." After an unknown amount of time, Yin Xiangqian knocked on the door, "It's easy to be suspected if you stay too long."

Hearing the sound, Ji Chen opened the door.

"Still drawing the curtains, what have you done to hide →" Qi Guangzhen poked his head in, "Be careful, I'll tell Brother Zheng."

"Then you just wait to die!" Yin Xiangqian narrowed his eyes and elbowed back.

"Oh, Yin Xiangqian, can't you be gentle?!"

"What can we do, let's discuss the mission." Yu Wen smiled, who had returned to his usual gentleness and calmness, "Have you checked everything?"

"For the last time, I'm sending you to this room." Yin Xiangqian put on his earphones and walked in, and began to adjust.

"Look at us working so hard. If you're sorry, how about giving us extra meals? I think there's a good hot pot downstairs..."

"Okay, Qi Guangzhen is your treat." Wu Kunyu, who would not let Yu Wen suffer, stepped forward, directly pushed Qi Guangzhen away from the door, and went in and sat on the bed by himself.

"Oh, what a white-eyed wolf. It's hard to control the child when he grows up." Qi Guangzhen sighed, and as expected, he was stared at by the child again.

"Brother..." Turning his face away, Wu Kunyu was a gentle and soft boy who was easy to knead again, and gently grabbed Yu Wen's arm.

"I promise to complete the task smoothly." Yu Wen stuffed the Rubik's Cube on the table into his hands.

"Don't forget to promise me."

"Will not."

"I will come to you as soon as I solve the Rubik's Cube, and you will go back with me immediately."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." He replied without thinking.

It seems that a long time ago, he would not refuse any request from this child.

"Then, I'm leaving, Yu Wen Brother."

Following Yin Xiangqian and Qi Guangzhen out of the room, Wu Kunyu looked at Yu Wen who was saying goodbye to him, and Ji Chen, but the words that should be said were all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Be safe.

Yu Wen.
