[Rat cat] Mirror City

Bai Yutang was awakened by a rustling sound that could not be ignored.The dizziness of waking up came stronger and stronger one after another, and the temples hurt like needles.

Bai Yutang raised his hand to press his aching temple, and glanced out of the window, only the pale street lamps on the street could be seen through the curtain.It was still very early, Bai Yutang felt that it hadn't been long before he fell asleep.

The rustling sound in his sleep disappeared, and Bai Yutang believed that the sound was in his dream.Not wanting to think any more, Bai Yutang turned over and wanted to continue falling asleep hugging the warm body beside him, but he was in vain.

What about Zhan Zhao?Bai Yutang sat up on the bed, touched the empty seat beside him, it was still warm.Zhan Zhao didn't leave for too long.

What did you do?While thinking, Bai Yutang heard another rustling sound, as if someone was turning something outside.Bai Yutang opened the door lightly, and as a result, he saw a scene that he will never forget.

At night, Zhan Zhao's house will keep a floor lamp in the living room.The floor lamp isn't very bright, it's just a circle of peaceful white light, Zhan Zhao usually doesn't notice it in a daze, but under the smudge of this circle of dim light, the whole living room looks pale and a bit gloomy.

As for Bai Yutang, first of all, he was greatly impacted by the eerie atmosphere, and secondly, the other corner of the living room, simply put, was the corner where the refrigerator was placed.

Bai Yutang finally knew the source of that voice.Zhan Zhao was holding on to the door of the refrigerator to search for something in the refrigerator, muttering something that Bai Yutang couldn't understand.

After a while, Zhan Zhao let out a cheer.Then Bai Yutang saw that Zhan Zhao was holding the apple he had just taken out of the refrigerator, washed it casually with water, and then buried himself in the gnaw.

The pale light of the floor lamp, the messy hair from just waking up, and the way he ignored the food in Zhan Zhao's hands, his eating movements... Bai Yutang realized that he was indeed not the type to watch horror movies.

Just as I was eating enough, the apple in my hand was suddenly taken away.Zhan Zhao looked up in surprise, only to see Bai Yutang standing in front of him, with sleepiness still on his face, squinting his eyes and looking at himself.

"Hungry?" Bai Yutang examined the apple in his hand, then Zhan Zhao's appearance, and finally stuffed the apple back into Zhan Zhao's hand.

Zhan Zhao swallowed the apple flesh in his mouth with difficulty, and nodded blankly.Bai Yutang glanced at the clock on the wall, it was one in the morning.

"I woke up from hunger." Zhan Zhao said embarrassedly.Seeing Bai Yutang standing here in his thin pajamas, Zhan Zhao pushed Bai Yutang towards the room, "Go back to sleep first. I'll be back after eating the apples."

Bai Yutang just poked his head in the direction of the refrigerator, and said disapprovingly, "The more you eat apples, the hungrier you get. Is there nothing else to eat in the refrigerator?"

"Yes." Realizing that Bai Yutang didn't plan to go back to his room to sleep, Zhan Zhao gnawed the little pulp left, threw the core into the trash can, and chewed hard.

Bai Yutang watched Zhan Zhao's face swell from too much food, worried that he would choke, Bai Yutang signaled Zhan Zhao not to worry with his eyes.

It took Zhan Zhao a long time to swallow the apples, and then he replied to Bai Yutang, "But none of them are ready-made, and cooking in the middle of the night is too noisy."

"It's okay, you can cook something. I don't care." After saying this, Bai Yutang turned and went back to the room.

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a while, and finally decided to fill his stomach.Not wanting to make it too complicated, Zhan Zhao planned to cook a bowl of noodles for himself as supper.

Because he wanted a quick solution, Zhan Zhao put all his attention on the kitchen.So he never expected that when he turned around with a bowl of steaming noodles, he found that Bai Yutang was lying on a thick blanket, sitting on the sofa and looking at him.

"Yutang, why are you still awake!" Zhan Zhao put the bowl on the table and ran to Bai Yutang's side.

"Your bed is too big for sleeping alone." Bai Yutang said naturally, completely ignoring the fact that the bed he usually sleeps in is much bigger than Zhan Zhao's bed.

Zhan Zhao didn't poke him. Although he really wanted to persuade Bai Yutang not to stay here and wait for him, Zhan Zhao finally walked to the dining table and sat next to Bai Yutang with his face upright.

As soon as Zhan Zhao sat down, Bai Yutang took out a part of the blanket to wrap Zhan Zhao up.Zhan Zhao picked up a chopstick of noodles and handed them to Bai Yutang's mouth, "I cook according to my own appetite, don't grab too much. If I don't have enough to eat, the consequences will be very serious."

"Heh..." Bai Yutang smiled knowingly, and ate the noodles that Zhan Zhao fed him.The taste is really good.

Bai Yutang didn't like to eat in the middle of the night, so he only took two mouthfuls and then quietly leaned against Zhan Zhao's body without saying a word.After Zhan Zhao finished his supper, he realized that Bai Yutang had already fallen asleep on his body.

Having already woken up Bai Yutang once, Zhan Zhao didn't want to deprive Bai Yutang of sleep again.He could only carefully keep half of his body still, and put the bowls and chopsticks back on the coffee table.

Hmm... Although it was only wrapped in a blanket and the sofa was a bit small, it shouldn't be a problem for two people to squeeze together.Other than maybe a sore shoulder tomorrow morning, it's not a big deal.

Zhan Zhao silently ignored the protests of things called reason or common sense, and closed his eyes to clear away all distracting thoughts.He opened his eyes again because the phone suddenly rang.

Bai Yutang woke up before Zhan Zhao, and ran back to the bedroom to answer the phone.Once connected, Bai Yutang regretted it.Bao Zheng's excited but completely incomprehensible words to Bai Yutang who had just woken up were especially loud in the supposedly beautiful morning.

"Hey, Zhan Zhao! Let me tell you, what happened last night was terrible..."

"The cat is sleeping."

"Ah... Bai Yutang? Good morning." Bao Zheng was stunned when he found out that Bai Yutang was answering the call, but he immediately reacted and said good morning to Bai Yutang.

But Bai Yutang's reaction was... silently pressing "end call", then put the phone aside, returned to the sofa again, hugged Zhan Zhao and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Who's calling?" Zhan Zhao rubbed Bai Yutang's pajamas and asked vaguely.

"A newspaper subscription."

"Oh." Without any doubt about Bai Yutang's answer, Zhan Zhao planned to sleep a little longer. His class today is in the afternoon, so there's no need to get up so early.

But this beautiful idea is obviously impossible to realize.The phone rang again.

Almost at the same time, Bai Yutang's hand touched the phone again, and Bai Yutang answered the call without even looking at the screen, "We don't need to subscribe to the newspaper, don't call again."

After speaking, without giving Bao Zheng on the other end of the phone a moment to react, Bai Yutang hung up the phone again.Without waiting for Zhan Zhao to ask questions, Bai Yutang said again, "I ordered newspapers."

When the phone rang for the third time, Bai Yutang answered the phone again.Without even saying a word, he hung up the phone, turned the phone to silent, and pressed it with a pillow.

But the phone rang for the fourth time indefatigably.This time, Zhan Zhao finally became sober, and realized that something was wrong. No newspaper subscriber would be so persistent.

With [-] points of doubt, Zhan Zhao finally connected the phone with his own hands, "Hello..."

"Zhan Zhao? Is it Zhan Zhao? My God, it's finally Zhan Zhao!" Bao Zheng on the other end of the phone almost cried with joy, "I'm going to cry if Bai Yutang hangs up on me again."

"...Yutang..." Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang helplessly.Bai Yutang pulled the blanket and wrapped himself up completely, pretending he didn't know what happened.

"What's the matter, Brother Bao?" Zhan Zhao decided not to argue with Bai Yutang for the time being. It was very unusual for Bao Zheng to call him so early, there must be something important.

"It's about last night's auction."

As soon as Bao Zheng said that, Zhan Zhao asked him to wait, and then pushed Bai Yutang, "It's serious business, I'll let him go."

Bai Yutang finally pulled back the blanket, motioning for Mr. Zhan Zhao to let him go.As a result, as soon as the phone was released, Bao Zheng's proud voice came, "Bai Yutang, let's release it this time, you can't hang up on my phone!"

As soon as he heard Bao Zheng say something, Bai Yutang only felt a headache, "Cat, hang up the phone."

"Hey, don't do this!" Bao Zheng wailed, and finally turned the topic back to the real thing, "Last night, Lao Liu took a few brothers to search the storage room, but unfortunately, everything has been removed in advance , except for a few cultural relics stolen this time, the others have not been recovered."

"That's it." Zhan Zhao replied flatly, it would be a lie to say that he is not disappointed, but there are some things that cannot be forced.This result was largely expected by Zhan Zhao.

"Don't be disappointed yet." Bao Zheng's voice sounded full of vitality, obviously he had received good news, "Although the supplier of the auction item was not caught, do you know who was involved in the end?"

"..."

"It's the deputy curator of the museum." Bao Zheng sounded extremely excited, "He is not the mastermind, but he is inseparable from the theft. In the end, there was an insider in the museum. Although the others ran away, a little If you ask, you may be able to find other people behind the scenes. If you can find any clues related to the Pang family or Pang Yan, I will inform you again."

"Well, thank you, Brother Bao." Zhan Zhao knew that Bao Zheng was so happy to call him not only because of the success of the operation at the auction last night, but also because he found clues that might be related to Pang Yan.

Even if they only grasped a bit of information that was unfavorable to Pang Yan, it would become a bargaining chip for them to confront Pang Yan in the future, for the Juque and Miaodao that fell into Pang Yan's hands.

"Why are we talking about thanks?" Bao Zheng said calmly, across the phone, Zhan Zhao had already portrayed Bao Zheng's unusually stalwart image in front of his eyes.

But Bao Zheng has a title, "Handsome for three seconds", which means he is only handsome for three seconds, and he is only decent for three seconds.Three seconds later, the person Bao Zheng was talking to jumped directly to Bai Yutang, "Bai Yutang, I just said that Zhan Zhao doesn't need to thank you, what about you, where is your thank you? You still hung up on me, now you know what I want to say is How important is it? If I give up because of you failing so many times, Zhan Zhao will definitely be disappointed, now you know that you almost made a big mistake..."

Before Bao Zheng delivered a long speech, Bai Yutang directly hung up the phone and waited silently for 30 seconds.Bai Yutang swore that if Bao Zheng continued to call within 30 seconds, he would turn off Zhan Zhao's phone.

Fortunately, Bao Zheng finally made sense and didn't call again.Without Bao Zheng's rambling voice, the living room suddenly became quiet.Birdsong, rising sun, it was supposed to be a refreshing morning, but because of a phone call full of luck and misfortune, it became burdensome, at least for Bai Yutang.

Originally, unless his elder brother and the others called him, his plan that he wouldn't get up and go to work in the company suddenly fell through.Bai Yutang lay down on the sofa with a sullen face.

"Get up." Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang amusedly, and pushed him.Bai Yutang reluctantly shook his head, hugged Zhan Zhao, even if he couldn't fall asleep, he made up his mind not to get up.

Although his sleep plan was also ruined, Zhan Zhao was clearly in a clear mood, "I can't sleep anymore, get up, I'll make you breakfast."

Laying on the sofa with a hungry stomach until Lu Fang and the others called him and had to go to work, now he wakes up and eats breakfast with Zhan Zhao to kill time and then happily goes to work, compared to the two, Bai Yutang is naturally prefer the latter.

Bai Yutang got up neatly, but found that Zhan Zhao was still lying on the sofa without moving, "Cat, what's wrong?"

"I can't move anymore." Zhan Zhao tried very hard to move his body, but found that his whole body was stiff and had no strength.Zhan Zhao's face turned pale all of a sudden, "Could it be a ghost pressing the bed?"

Zhan Zhao's look of being finished was particularly interesting to Bai Yutang.Approaching Zhan Zhao, who was still immersed in the sorrow of "ghost press", Bai Yutang put his arms around Zhan Zhao's shoulders, and helped Zhan Zhao sit up.

The body let go of the lying position, and all the sleeping nerves seemed to wake up in an instant, and then the pain exploded in every corner of the body like lightning. "Aww!" Zhan Zhao wailed uncontrollably.

"What the hell is the bed. I'm numb from sleep." It's no wonder that I squeezed on the sofa and slept all night, and I was pressed under it by myself. It's natural to become like this.

Bai Yutang helped Zhan Zhao massage his arms and back, helping Zhan Zhao recover from this annoying pain.The body finally regained consciousness, Zhan Zhao moved his neck, and felt a tangled pain in the back of his right neck.

"Hiss...there is no ghost pressing the bed, but the neck is sprained." Zhan Zhao covered the aching place and looked at Bai Yutang miserably.

"Let me press it for you." Bai Yutang said reluctantly.

At Bai Yutang's request, Zhan Zhao lay down on the sofa, looked expectantly at Bai Yutang who had just washed his hands, "Yutang, I didn't know you could massage."

Zhan Zhao's eyes were full of stars, obviously looking forward to Bai Yutang's craftsmanship.Being stared at by Zhan Zhao like this, Bai Yutang suddenly felt a little burdened, don't press it badly later, he only rubbed it himself when his neck was sprained or sore, he hadn't tried it on others, and never Never thought of trying it on someone else.

This, kneading by yourself is useful.It should be the same for others.Looking at Zhan Zhao who was relaxed all over, Bai Yutang suddenly regretted why he didn't try it on his older brothers.It's useless to regret now, you must remember to control your movements later.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang sat beside him, and lightly pressed his fingers on Zhan Zhao's neck.He was very careful about the strength in his hands, for fear that too much strength would cause Zhan Zhao's discomfort.

Fortunately, Zhan Zhao didn't show pain, which gave Bai Yutang, a novice massager, infinite comfort and affirmation.

While pressing Zhan Zhao's neck lightly, Bai Yutang asked, "Does this place hurt?"

Every time he clicked a place, Bai Yutang would ask Zhan Zhao the same question.Soon, Bai Yutang pressed the pain point, "Press it a few times and it will be fine."

Generally speaking, if you find out where the pain is, this problem can basically be solved.But Bai Yutang never thought that giving Zhan Zhao a massage would be one of the biggest challenges he encountered in his life.

Withdrawing his hand, looking helplessly at Zhan Zhao who was about to sink into the crack of the sofa with his smile, Bai Yutang had to review how this incident happened.

At first, everything went well.But when he rubbed and pressed hard, Zhan Zhao shrank his body suddenly.Afterwards, he asked Zhan Zhao to lie down countless times, and tried countless times, but in the end he couldn't do it because Zhan Zhao fell into laughter inexplicably and because of the violent body twisting.

He just gave Zhan Zhao another massage, why is it so difficult. "Stop laughing." Looking at Zhan Zhao who had completely forgotten the pain with a headache, Bai Yutang's self-esteem was greatly challenged.

Bai Yutang clenched his fists, and rushed towards Zhan Zhao who was rolling into a ball with laughter.Zhan Zhao only had time to let out an exclamation, which was immediately buried by his own smile.

In the end, Bai Yutang had to hold Zhan Zhao's arms with both hands to barely control him.Seeing Zhan Zhao's painful and itchy appearance, Bai Yutang decided that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.

Bai Yutang grabbed a pillow and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "Hold it, hold it tight if it itches, and don't turn around." For double insurance, Bai Yutang pressed Zhan Zhao's body with one hand to firmly control him.

It's time to start.Bai Yutang was sweating from the bottom of his heart, now he was extremely nervous.Taking a deep breath, Bai Yutang finally put his fingers on Zhan Zhao's neck, and pushed down along the neck.

Zhan Zhao stiffened when Bai Yutang's hand just touched his neck, and subconsciously wanted to turn around, but because of Bai Yutang's suppression and previous instructions, he forcibly endured it, and just buried his face in the pillow, Holding the pillow tightly with both hands, his whole body trembled from suppressing laughter.

After touching the position of the tendon, Bai Yutang's subordinates increased their strength a little bit, kneading and pressing the same position repeatedly.Zhan Zhao couldn't help but shrink his neck, and his laughter leaked out from the gap in the pillow.

It was obviously a simple matter, but when Bai Yutang finished the action, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought at the same time, "It's finally over".

Lying powerlessly on the sofa, Bai Yutang looked at his reddened fingertips, and couldn't figure it out. It was obviously an easy task, but after a few minutes, it seemed like he had fought a tough battle.

"Cat, it's too painful to massage you." Looking into Zhan Zhao's bright eyes, Bai Yutang made such an evaluation.

Because he was laughing all the time just now, and his neck didn't hurt anymore, Zhan Zhao was in a particularly good mood, so he automatically ignored Bai Yutang's evaluation, and handed him the pillow in his hand, "Thank you, and I'll give it to you as a reward." Make breakfast, it's still early, you still have time to go home and change your clothes before going to work."

Going to work... If Bai Yutang's plan at the beginning was to wait until Lu Fang and the others called to remind him before going to the company, then now Bai Yutang has no intention of going to work at all.

These ten minutes had exhausted Bai Yutang's mental and physical strength for the whole day, and going to work was impossible.But Bai Yutang obviously forgot that in front of Zhan Zhao, as long as it is his thing, there is nothing impossible.

For example, in the following time, how Zhan Zhao successfully cooked a delicious breakfast for Bai Yutang, and then how he successfully sent Bai Yutang out with the sentence "Because you are a big boss, you should work hard and lead by example". house door.

Contrary to Bai Yutang who has been in a cloudy mood all day in the company, Zhan Zhao's mood is good all day today, it really is the morning plan.
