Mystery Tracker 2

Once the summer comes from the summer season, it is too late for the autumn wind to bring coolness.In the twilight of the southern path of the day, the rice paddies are mowed, and the carts and horses are galloping. ——"End of Heat" (Zuo He Shui)

Entering the second half of August, City S, which has been at high temperature for nearly a month, finally ushered in a coolness—Speaking of which, City S is a typical northern city, with four distinct seasons throughout the year, hot summer and cold winter.Compared with the humidity and heat in the south, the summer in the north is actually not too difficult, but this year is an exception. Since the end of July, the high temperature has continued in S city, and the air humidity is extremely high. The whole city seems to be shrouded in a cloud. In the huge cage, everyone was steamed into steamed buns.After being devastated by the high temperature for nearly a month, finally, a heavy rain announced the end of the hot weather, and also announced the official arrival of autumn in S City.

It was sunny on March 8.

Cheng Jinsong opened his eyes in the bright sunshine.The rain outside the window has stopped, and the sky washed by the rain shows a charming blue color, which makes people feel good at a glance.

Cheng Jinsong curled his lips, turned over, and was about to sleep again with his arms around Shen Yan.I didn't want to turn around, only to find that the bed beside me was empty.

Shen Yan has already woken up?

Cheng Jinsong was a little surprised - although Shen Yan did not like to stay in bed on weekdays, firstly, both of them rested today, and secondly, they "exercised" last night, why did Shen Yan wake up so early today?

Cheng Jinsong lost his sleepiness, so he also got up and got out of bed.When he left the room, he saw at a glance that Shen Yan was busy with something in the kitchen.Cheng Jinsong walked over with light steps, and after a few steps, he smelled the aroma of flour.He raised his neck and poked his head forward, only to see that Shen Yan was fiddling with a "strip" of noodles on the noodle table - he said "strip" because the dough had been kneaded into a long and thin strip by Shen Yan, and Shen Yan was Concentrate on rubbing it finer.

Seeing what Shen Yan was holding, Cheng Jinsong instantly curled his mouth——Shen Yan was making longevity noodles.

Yes, today is August 8, Cheng Jinsong's 23th birthday.

Speaking of which, it turned out that Cheng Jinsong's birthday wasn't just his birthday.According to the elders, it is not suitable for young people to organize birthdays, as it is easy to damage their blessings.Whether this statement is credible or not, let's not talk about it for the time being, but Cheng Jinsong really didn't have any idea about birthdays before.After all, eating cakes and blowing out candles is something for little girls, and few old men are interested in it.But after being with Shen Yan, Cheng Jinsong suddenly discovered that "birthday" also has some advantages.For example, last night he used "birthday celebration" as an excuse to pull Shen Yan to do whatever he wanted for a long time... But at this moment, looking at Shen Yan who was preparing longevity noodles for himself in the kitchen, Cheng Jinsong suddenly understood why Those men and women in love always care so much about various birthdays and festivals.Because that is the best opportunity to show your heart to the other party.Just like now, on a cool summer and autumn morning, it feels really warm to watch my beloved make birthday noodles for me seriously.

Cheng Jinsong didn't want to break the feeling of happiness, so he didn't speak, just stood aside quietly, watching Shen Yan busy.Shen Yan did it very attentively—according to the tradition, the longevity noodles should be made into a whole stick, so as to bring blessings and longevity.This requirement sounds easy, but it really takes time and patience to do it, especially for those who don't cook often.Shen Yan worked meticulously, and it took a while to finish the longevity noodles.

Putting the noodle plate into the plate, Shen Yan straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a chuckle from behind, and Shen Yan turned around, only to realize that Cheng Jinsong was standing behind him at some point.

"Are you up?" Shen Yan greeted, "When did you come here?"

"I've been standing here for a long time. Seeing that you're doing so seriously, I didn't bother you." Cheng Jinsong walked over with a smile, and hugged Shen Yan from behind.He put his head on Shen Yan's shoulder affectionately, and said softly, "How about making noodles for me?"

"En." Shen Yan nodded, "I'll go back to your house for dinner tonight, and with your mother around, I'm sure I won't be able to get involved in the cooking. So I'll serve you a bowl of longevity noodles in the morning."

"It's really virtuous." Cheng Jinsong smiled lightly.

Shen Yan has long been immune to Cheng Jinsong's teasing with just a few words, he patted Cheng Jinsong's hand: "Okay, you go wash your face quickly, I will cook noodles with you, and you can eat it in a while."

"okay."

Cheng Jinsong kissed Shen Yan, then let go, and walked to the bathroom.

Coming out of the bathroom, Shen Yan was still busy by the stove.Cheng Jinsong knew it would take time to cook the noodles, so he didn't rush him, but went to the living room to watch TV.This year is the Olympic year, and the Olympic Games opened as early as the first ten days of August.It's just that there was a case in the bureau at that time, and everyone was so busy that no one was in the mood to pay attention to any competition.Now that the case was solved and it was time to rest today, Cheng Jinsong turned on the TV, ready to join in the fun.Unfortunately, at the moment, several channels on the TV are either broadcasting games without the participation of the Chinese team, or are rebroadcasting the events of the previous few days.Thinking about it, the Olympic Games are coming to an end, and the Chinese team's usual advantages are basically in the early stage of the competition, so the current situation is understandable.That being the case, Cheng Jinsong randomly picked a replay of a table tennis match—watching the match, it was fun to watch if he could win.

Shen Yan came out of the kitchen and heard the sound of the TV coming from the living room.Seeing that Cheng Jinsong was sitting on the sofa watching intently, he simply brought the noodles to the living room.

"Yo, are you ready?" Cheng Jinsong looked away from the TV and looked down. In front of him was a bowl of egg noodles in clear soup. The noodles were piled up in layers, and there was a poached egg on top.Although the appearance is a bit clear and watery, the nose is full of fragrance.

"The craftsmanship is good!" Cheng Jinsong praised with a smile.He took a sip of the noodle soup with a spoon, and looked up in surprise: "Chicken soup? Shen Yan, you can do it, you will use chicken soup as the soup base!"

"I don't have that ability. I bought the chicken soup from a store outside." Shen Yan said truthfully.

"Well, it is also an improvement to make reasonable use of takeaway." Cheng Jinsong said with a smile.He picked up the chopsticks and thought of something again, "By the way, I'll eat this, so what do you eat?"

"I also cooked some dried noodles, which is enough." Shen Yan said, and put the rest of the food on the tea table, "Your bowl is just a lottery, and you must not be full. The rest You have to eat dried noodles like me."

Seeing the other two bowls of braised noodles served by Shen Yan, Cheng Jinsong finally couldn't help laughing. "I said, Shen Yan, do you only know how to cook noodles? I remember that the first meal you cooked for me was noodles, right? It's been more than two years, and your cooking skills are still so 'consistent'!"

Hearing Cheng Jinsong's joke, Shen Yan suddenly recalled the winter two years ago - at that time, Cheng Jinsong went abroad for business, but when he heard that he was in trouble, he flew back from Australia all the way to help Solved the problem by myself.Then, he followed him to the place where he lived, and pestered himself to cook for him. At that time, what he made was a bowl of braised noodles.And that day, after eating that bowl of noodles, Cheng Jinsong said to him seriously, Shen Yan, let's try together, okay...

Recalling the beginning, a trace of sweetness floated in Shen Yan's heart.However, he didn't show it on his face, instead he raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you think it's monotonous?"

"How dare you, Captain Shen, if you are willing to cook for me, it is already my boss' face." Cheng Jinsong flattered me, which made Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh.

The two finished the breakfast talking and laughing like this.After the meal, Cheng Jinsong took the initiative to get up and clean up the dishes, so that Shen Yan, who had been busy all morning (and midnight), could rest for a while.

Shen Yan sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control and tuned the channel - the broadcast of the table tennis match just now had already ended, and China won 4-0 without any suspense, and now the advertisement is being broadcast.Shen Yan tuned a few channels casually, and suddenly, his hand stopped.

"Our station has recently learned that the senior high school in C City who has been involved in the case of extra points for the college entrance examination has been filed for investigation." The announcer's voice came from the TV, "According to the investigation by the C City Disciplinary Commission, there are cases in the C City Senior High School that used false means. For some candidates to obtain the national second-level athlete certificate and other issues. At present, the Discipline Inspection Commission has basically grasped the facts of the illegal activities of the persons involved in the case, and will conduct further investigations on the transfer of suspected crimes to judicial organs... "

Cheng Jinsong came back after packing up the dishes, and when he saw the news, he stopped in his tracks: "Hey, isn't this what Chen Chu said last month? So soon, people are being arrested?"

Shen Yan nodded: "Before I was busy investigating the case, I forgot to ask Chen Chu how things are going."

"Everyone has been arrested, and the matter must be resolved." Cheng Jinsong was very relieved. He looked at the report about college freshmen that came out immediately, and said with a smile: "I guess, his girl may have gone to the university to report by now. ..."

At this time, City H, the airport.

Sensing his daughter walking back to the table, Chen Dong raised his eyes from the document. He was surprised to see what his daughter brought, "Why did you buy so many things?!"

"Not much, this is the amount for two breakfasts." Chen Jiaying took out the sandwiches and coffee from the plate, and said as she took them: "My mother always told me that if you have enough breakfast, you will have enough food in a day." Spirit."

"Stocks at the airport are very expensive. If you want to eat, there will be breakfast on the plane later."

"The plane meal is terrible! And the amount is so small, I can't even eat enough, Dad, you must be even more hungry." Chen Jiaying curled her lips, and then smiled mischievously, "As for the money, don't worry about it, Dad Lah, I'll treat your daughter to this meal."

"Where did you get the money?" Chen Dong looked at his daughter amusedly.

"Scholarship! It has been stated in my admission letter that the top 100 students in the province can apply for the freshman scholarship. I checked, and the minimum is 1000 yuan!" Chen Jiaying blinked her big bright eyes proudly He patted his chest, "So, this meal is invited by your daughter, Dad, you can eat it at ease."

However, looking at his daughter's excited expression, Chen Dong still couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth—after all, he was still a child, and he could be happy like this with 1000 yuan.However, looking at his daughter's bright expression, Chen Dong was quite relieved.The Chen family has a young girl, the little girl who used to be braided with shofar horns and twittering around her in front of her and calling her daddy has now grown into a tall and tall girl.Although there was still some naivety of a high school student on his face, there was the vigor of a college student between his brows and eyes.With the help of Li Guangbei, the incident of cheating in the high school entrance examination in C city was directly brought to the capital, and both Xinhua News Agency and CCTV News made a series of reports on it.Under the pressure of public opinion, the Provincial Admissions Office announced urgently that all candidates who have obtained the national second-level athlete qualification must submit a new application for extra points.For all candidates who apply for extra points again, the Provincial Admissions Office will re-test their extra points.This approach is equivalent to giving all candidates with extra points a chance to give up extra points.So for the second application for extra points, the number of people in the province dropped from more than 300 to less than 100.Although it is a pity that the Provincial Admissions Office did not re-test these second-time applicants, it also eliminated the 200-degree problematic bonus points at once, and his daughter can finally enter the university of her choice as she wished. .Seeing his daughter take out the admission notice and read it again and again, Chen Dong felt relieved that his previous efforts were not in vain.

According to Xiaohua, when her daughter found the admission information on the Internet, she was so happy that she danced at home for almost an hour.Hearing this, Chen Dong couldn't help but smile. After all, there really isn't much he can do for his daughter now.

Speaking of which, although Chen Dong and Lu Xiaohua have been divorced for many years, they still maintain a very good relationship.Lu Xiaohua had never slandered Chen Dong in front of her daughter, and she understood and cooperated every time Chen Dong visited her daughter.So over the years, the relationship between Chen Dong and his daughter has not deteriorated due to the divorce.It's just that the daughter has grown up after all, and it's inconvenient to talk about the little girl's many thoughts with her father.So many times, Chen Dongkong has a love, but he can't express it to his daughter.Unexpectedly, this college entrance examination turned out to be an opportunity.It was not his turn to send his daughter to report today, but unfortunately Lu Xiaohua cut his foot while cooking a while ago, and now he can't walk very well, and it happened that Chen Dong was going to Shanghai on a business trip, so he went He took the initiative to take on this glorious task.

"You should pay attention to safety when you are alone in Shanghai. At first, you should stay in the school more, and then leave the school after you get familiar with the environment."

"okay."

"Pay attention to your daily routine by yourself, don't play too much at night and don't sleep, and don't eat breakfast during the day."

"Oh."

"and also……"

"Hey, Dad~~" Chen Jiaying pulled the long voice with a bitter face, "My mother has already told me about a holiday what you said, so don't repeat it to me, okay?"

"Your mother and I are doing this for your own good."

"I know you are doing it for my own good." Chen Jiaying pointed to the food in front of Chen Dong, and changed the subject, "Dad, your food is getting cold, you should eat it quickly!"

"You child..." Chen Dong looked at his daughter helplessly, then shook his head with a smile.Seeing his daughter's playful smile, Chen Dong had no choice but to pick up the coffee and take a sip.

"Huh?" Chen Dong frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jiaying was eating a sandwich, and seeing her father frowning, she couldn't help asking.

"This coffee is quite bitter..." Chen Dong looked down at the coffee in his hand.

"This is a new espresso. Although it is a bit bitter, it is still very fragrant." Chen Jiaying explained.Because she was afraid that her father would not be used to drinking it, she had already added sugar and milk to his father's cup, and her own cup was completely clear coffee. "Dad, if you are not used to drinking, you can add some sugar, so that it will not be bitter."

As she spoke, Chen Jiaying picked up another bag of sugar from the dinner plate, tore it open, poured it into her father's coffee cup, and helped him stir it. "Dad, how about you try again this time."

Chen Dong is actually not interested in drinks like coffee.It's just that the daughter bought it for her on her own initiative. A father can't take away his daughter's kindness.So Chen Dong picked up the coffee cup and took another symbolic sip.

Over there, Chen Jiaying had already started eating happily.She took a big bite of the sandwich, took another sip of coffee after a while, and quickly ate up her breakfast.Chen Dong looked at his daughter's eating, and raised the corner of his mouth lovingly.

After the two had breakfast, they sat in the coffee shop and chatted for a while. They didn't go to the boarding gate until the news that the flight was starting to board came from the radio.

"Ahem," Chen Dong took two steps, and couldn't help clearing his throat—there seemed to be some discomfort in his throat, did he catch a cold last night? ...

Chen Jiaying didn't notice the strangeness of her father, she was looking around for the boarding gate at the moment.

"Dad, where is gate 52!" Chen Jiaying greeted her father, pointing to the front.

"En." Chen Dong nodded, couldn't help coughing twice, and slowed down his steps.The uncomfortable feeling in the throat became heavier, and there was even a burning sensation.Chen Dong faintly felt that something was wrong, and wanted to call his daughter: "Jiaying..."

However, Chen Jiaying didn't hear her father's cry. Since she saw the boarding gate, she hastened her pace, and she has already walked quite a distance.Looking at the long queue at the boarding gate, Chen Jiaying greeted her father excitedly: "Dad, boarding has already started! Let's also..."

Chen Jiaying turned her head while talking, only to realize that her father had fallen far behind.Not only that, but my father was still squatting on the ground, not knowing what he was doing.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Chen Jiaying trotted back to her father's side, "The boarding has already started..."

Before Chen Jiaying finished speaking, her father suddenly grabbed her hand.Chen Jiaying was taken aback, only then did she realize that her father's situation was wrong.

"Jiaying..." Chen Dong's face was frighteningly pale. He rested his hand on his stomach and frowned tightly, as if he was enduring great pain.Chen Jiaying was terrified, and asked repeatedly: "Dad! What's wrong with you, Dad?"

"Hit... 12... 0..."

Chen Dong spat out these words with all his strength, and finally couldn't bear the severe pain in his stomach, and fell to the ground suddenly.

"dad!--"
