Jin Jiaxuan 2: Poem of Silence

This is a peaceful New Year's Eve for all families. This is the first New Year's Eve spent with family members without having to work overtime since Police Officer Jin started working.

Shang Yang took him home, and the two had dinner with their parents. They planned to go back, but their mother persuaded them to stay, so they stayed at home that night, so as not to have to wake up early tomorrow morning to come over to pay their parents New Year's greetings.

After the meal, Dad only sat for a while, and then went back to his room to lie down and rest - both because he was so sleepy since he was sick, and because he knew that he would make young people feel uncomfortable.

In the living room, the three of them turned on the TV and chatted with each other with the Spring Festival Gala as the background sound.

In fact, Jin Xu is not very good at chatting with his elders, there is always a sense of restraint, but Shang's mother has always liked him, and will take the initiative to find topics, after chatting for a while, she even went to show Jin Xu several large photo albums at home.

There are many photos of Shang Yang when he was a child in the album. He has been outstanding since he was a child. He must be the first person to be seen in all the group photos. Yuxue was cute when he was a child, clean and beautiful when he was a teenager, and he can be seen in his adolescence for a short time. In a few days, the second brother will be in the middle of the police academy, and he will be tall and handsome after he enters the police academy. It's just that he becomes more and more "official in the office" every year.

"He's really good-looking." Jin Xu smiled and flipped through the pages, not forgetting to praise Shang's mother again, "It's your own at first sight."

Because his father was not there, Shang Yang lost his sitting position, and lay lazily on the big sofa next to him, with Elizabeth in his arms, watching the programs on TV, and listening to the chatting of the two people next to him.At this time, he heard Jin Xu flattering his mother, and he also echoed, "I only inherited one-tenth of the beauty of Superintendent Yang, and I can walk sideways in Dongcheng District."

Mother Shang was coaxed into laughter by the two of them, and then she showed Jin Xu: "Look at these photos, how cute they are."

It was a photo of Shang Yang in kindergarten, wearing a small skirt and wearing a flower clip on his head as a "girly guy".Shang’s mother explained that she wanted a daughter very much, but she was born as Shang Yang, and there was nothing she could do. Taking advantage of Shang Yang’s young age and ignorance and not knowing how to resist, she took the opportunity to dress him up as a daughter, which was better than being a daughter.

"This was when he was two or three, three or four years old, and he liked skirts quite a bit." Shang's mother revealed a funny story about her son's childhood, and said, "We were still living in the police compound at that time, and when he put on a skirt, I Before he could tie his belt, he ran into the yard, told other children to come out quickly to watch him go around, and introduced himself, 'I'm a flower fairy'." She said the last sentence well. The ups and downs are the tone that children only have when they are flower fairies.

Shang Yang: "..."

Jin Xu suffocated his stomachache from laughing, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear that he would be beaten by Shang Yang soon.

Shang Yang blushed with embarrassment. He couldn't remember what happened at that time, and he argued aloud: "It must be summer, and wearing a skirt is cooler than wearing pants."

Mom said: "Then you still put the gauze on your head to imitate the white lady, and you still do magic tricks with your hands like this..."

"I'm going to bed." Shang Yang felt ashamed, stood up and ran, and found a reason for himself to run before entering the bedroom, "Why is this year's Spring Festival Gala even uglier!"

Of course, his room at home has always been reserved, and he would occasionally come back to spend the night. This night he slept in his own room, Jin Xu went to sleep in the guest room, and Shang's mother had already packed it out in advance.

The next morning, Shang Yang got up and came out to see that Jin Xu was already helping Shang’s mother to prepare breakfast. To be precise, Shang’s mother was eating melon seeds and directing Jin Xu to mix cold dishes with dumplings.Jin Xu was wearing an apron, and on the first day of the new year, the chopsticks used to mix vegetables made him look like a tiger, and he worked happily.

"Mom, Happy New Year!" Shang Yang bowed to his mother, and went to the master bedroom again. His father, who celebrated his birth year, was sitting by the bed and was wearing red socks. Shang Yang bowed to his father, "Happy New Year, Dad!"

Finally, he came back to the kitchen and clasped his fists to Jin Xu: "Happy Chinese New Year to you too."

Jin Xu said: "Happy Chinese New Year."

Shang's mother was not in the kitchen at this time, so he asked Shang Yang, "Which stuffed dumpling do you want to eat? I'll cook more for you."

Shang Yang rolled up his sleeves to help cook the dumplings, and said, "Anything is fine, let's have some of everything."

"Don't worry about it," Jin Xu said, "Go outside and play."

Shang Yang didn't leave either. He looked outside and saw his mother crossing the living room into the bedroom, and went to talk to his father.

He turned back, approached Jin Xu, and kissed Jin Xu on the face quickly.

Jin Xu: "..."

After sleeping in his own home, Shang Yang seemed to have some rebellious innocence in his sleep, showing that he was bold and reckless, and a little willful.This is what happens when people are fully loved.

And Jin Xu also felt the happiness of reunion and family joy that had not been seen for several years from this traditional festival.

"Happy New Year." Jin Xu said seriously, "Thank you."

"Gong Xi Fa Cai." Shang Yang smiled at him and said, "I love you too."

In the afternoon, the young couple said goodbye to their parents and went back, this time bringing Elizabeth back.

Under the healthier management of Shang Yang’s mother, this little chubby dog ​​lost weight successfully. He no longer panted after walking a few steps like before. When he got out of the car and led him for a walk, he started running happily, and all four legs ran out of phantom .

After entering the house, Shang Yang went to add water to the puppy's drinking fountain. Jin Xu took off his tiger hat and clothes. The temperature in the house is high and it will be uncomfortable to wear.

"I haven't asked you yet," Shang Yang asked curiously, "After I fell asleep last night, what did you and my mother talk about?"

Jin Xu said: "Auntie said that Jiang Yunqi took a few children to laugh at you, and then you never wore skirts again. Xiao Jiang was quite annoying when she was young."

Shang Yang said: "I was ignorant when I was young, and my parents were too busy to take care of us. Later, I also called back and drove him all over the yard. Within two days, he learned to climb trees."

"Is he in Beijing now?" Jin Xu asked, "Go and have dinner with him when you have time."

Shang Yang said: "No, I don't know where he went. Do you like him? It's rare for you to take the initiative to say who you want to have dinner with."

"He's not annoying now." Jin Xu picked up Elizabeth, who was pinching his leg, with one hand, and said with a cool face, "I want to find an acquaintance to show off my affection."

Shang Yang laughed and said: "Then it's better to persecute Yuan Ding and ask him to come to his house for dinner, anyway, the Criminal Investigation Bureau is also on holiday."

Ask again: "I just heard my mother talk about my childhood? I heard you two chatting until after twelve o'clock before going to bed."

Sitting on the sofa with the dog in his arms, Jin Xu said, "I said you have a young master's temper. When you lose your virtue, tell me not to be as knowledgeable as you, and tell me to let you go."

In response to this kind of pro-mother behavior, Shang Yang could only say: "Hmph."

"Auntie also said," Jin Xuxueshang's mother said, "Xiao Yang is soft-hearted, easy to talk, and won't hold grudges if you quarrel. You should be considerate of each other in life, support each other in work, and cherish each other."

Shang Yang didn't make another sound.

"Did you hear that?" Jin Xuhu said pretendingly, "Xiao Yang, your mother told you to cherish me."

He had never called Shang Yang like this in front of his face, he only called him that behind his back, and now he called him in front of his face, he was still a little uneasy, he raised his breath unconsciously, hoping to see Shang Yang's reaction.

"Little Yang remembers it," but Shang Yang didn't hear it, and said, "It's none of my business."

Jin Xu: "..."

Shang Yang thought he had told a funny joke, and walked into the room arrogantly with his hands behind his back, changed his clothes, and suddenly realized that this time it was not a homonym?After changing clothes and coming out, he looked at Jin Xu strangely.

Jin Xu was stroking the dog boredly, and Elizabeth was stroking comfortably, with her short legs stretched out and her belly showing.

Shang Yang said, "What did you call me just now?"

"..." Jin Xu said, "Stop barking if you don't like it."

Shang Yang said: "I don't like it...it's kind of weird."

He sat next to him, took a sugar orange from the fruit plate on the coffee table, peeled the skin in his hands, and said to Jin Xu: "Call me again."

Jin Xu called him again, this time he laughed and said, "It's really nice."

Elizabeth waited for a while, but no one touched it anymore. She probably realized that she was redundant, so she jumped off the sofa and ran to bite the toy.

Shang Yang was eating oranges, and lay down lazily on Jin Xu's legs, asking Jin Xu to call him more, Jin Xu said: "What big ice cube do you specify?"

Shang Yang: "Big ice cube? What?"

"Usually it should be written as an emoji of ice cubes." Jin Xu said seriously, "You can't write it as help, but you should write it as Jiu Min. I don't understand why, I guess it's all to look foreign."

Shang Yang laughed out loud.

Jin Xu also laughed, touched Shang Yang's ear and rubbed it for a while, Shang Yang stopped smiling, and looked at him intently, he leaned down and kissed Shang Yang, after a while, Shang Yang, like Elizabeth, was kicking comfortably The calf turns straight over the belly.

During the long Spring Festival holiday, day after day, the two never went out except for walking the dog and shopping for vegetables. Relying on their youth and good waist, they ran amok all day long.

Until the sixth day, the day before going to work, Shang Yang was going to attend a high school reunion, so he had to get up, absorb the demonic energy accumulated in Pansi Cave for several days, and dress himself back up like a human.Before going out, he asked Jin Xu: "Do I need to pack something for you when I come back?"

"No, I'll walk the dog and eat something outside." Jin Xu was not satisfied with his party, and said, "What's there to get together with high school classmates? It's been so many years since I graduated, and my life hasn't crossed paths."

Shang Yang said: "We don't get together every year, we only get together once in a while. This year is exactly the fifteenth anniversary. The class teacher is about to retire, and some students have returned to China to develop..."

He explained that he felt that this reason was completely boring.His high school is a famous school with a history. The more prestigious the graduates are, the more they like to have parties. After all, the more prestigious the school, the easier it is for the students to "promise".Gatherings for this kind of reason are very boring, but the socialization of adults is so vulgar and philistine, you should go or you have to go, after all, people are social animals.

"Just go to have a meal and not drink," Shang Yang didn't continue to explain, just said, "I'll be back soon."

At this moment, he had a new understanding. He had already belonged to the vulgar, but Jin Xu was a person who was "earthy" but not "vulgar". Outside of work, this person only did what he wanted to do and treated himself A happy relationship, pursuing the life you want to pursue, a pure person, a person who is out of vulgar interests.

At the party, Shang Yang met many old classmates who, like himself, were not pure and were still floating in the ocean of vulgar interests.

But they are all in their early thirties, and there are many outstanding people in various fields who have already risen or are about to rise to the top. Everyone is a scene person, and of course boring is still boring. Everyone has an online emotional intelligence, so getting along will not be too uncomfortable.

The last time this group had a party was four years ago, and most of them haven't seen each other in these four years. Shang Yang can't even tell who some of his classmates are.

Shang Yang thinks that compared with his classmates, he is mediocre in all aspects, not a focus figure, and his career is also kept a certain degree of secrecy, so he minimizes the sense of presence throughout the process, and even sits in an unobtrusive position , with the intention of leaving after eating quietly.

The small hall of the party was very lively. At this time, a classmate came late, but there was a big battle. As soon as he entered the door, several communicative classmates immediately surrounded him and occupied a favorable position. , each showing their abilities.A few people who were a step too slow to catch up with Habaer at close range regretted secretly in the periphery.Among the people who sat still, there were those who watched the show and ate melons, and there were also those who were light and mocking.

Shang Yang looked at this late man, feeling familiar, but couldn't remember who it was. He heard someone call his name, and suddenly realized: there were two class plants in high school, one of which was Shang Yang himself, and This boy named "Jingxuan" is another one.

But the water and soil of the two Bancao are not the same, so they have not been very familiar.Shang Yang's parents worked in the public security department. At that time, their positions were not worth mentioning among the classmates' parents, and their financial conditions were also very ordinary.This classmate Jing Xuan came from an extraordinary family background. In those years, the management was not as strict as it is now. He was picked up by his family driver in a red flag car to and from school.

In Shang Yang's impression, this person should have gone abroad to study preparatory classes in the second half of the third year of high school. He didn't know what happened after that. He had never attended several gatherings of high school classmates, including a classmate's wedding.

This is of course normal.It's not normal for this kind of classmate to come to the party.Maybe Jing Xuan is looking at the face of the head teacher who is about to retire.

Shang Yang thinks so casually, but it has nothing to do with him anyway.

"Shang Yang!"

Just when he thought that he would be victorious if he insisted on waiting for the dishes to arrive, burying his head in the meal, and returning home after eating, Jing Xuan called him by his name enthusiastically, and strode up to him, as if he knew him very well, and said: "I'm late, there's no room for me, please sit next to you, okay?"

Although Shang Yang was puzzled, he could only politely reply: "Of course, please sit down."

There were four tables in total today, and there was obviously an empty seat at the next table. It seemed that it was reserved for him by a classmate who knew Jing Xuan would come. When he sat down next to Shang Yang, Shang Yang could clearly see how many people The classmate, who has always been good at dancing, looked at each other in blank dismay. He obviously didn't expect Jing Xuan to come here instead of sitting at that table.

Jing Xuan hung his coat on the hanger next to him and came back to sit next to Shang Yang. The other students at this table greeted him and asked him what he was up to recently, and he answered them politely.

From the conversations in Versailles where he and his classmates came and went, Shang Yang learned that he returned to China to start a business for several years, and co-founded a technology company with others. The company completed the listing of the US stock market last year.The classmate who talked with Jing Xuan works in a subsidiary of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

"I heard that you are a policeman?" Jing Xuan finished dealing with his classmates, turned to chat with Shang Yang, and said, "I didn't expect that, I thought you would study art."

Shang Yang was surprised and said, "I don't have any artistic talent, did you remember the wrong person?"

Jing Xuan said with a smile: "During the sophomore art festival, I remember you played the piano, it seemed to be "Castle in the Sky", and you played it very well."

Shang Yang himself had forgotten it, and it was only when he was mentioned that he realized that it was true. At that time, he practiced for a while, not because he was interested in piano or art, but in his adolescence, he just wanted to show off.

"You're just playing nonsense." Shang Yang was embarrassed to talk about this matter, so he quickly turned the page and said, "When I grow up, I still want to do something serious. I went to the public university, and I became a policeman when I came out."

Jing Xuan sized him up and said, "But you haven't changed much, I recognized you as soon as I came in."

"You haven't changed much. When you walked in just now, I also..." Shang Yang wanted to say that he recognized him, but in fact he didn't. In the end, he said honestly, "I think you look familiar, too."

Jing Xuan was taken aback, glanced at Shang Yang, and soon laughed again.At this time, classmates from other tables came to talk to him, and he chatted with others for a few words. As soon as a classmate left, another came, and the stream continued.

Shang Yang was drinking tea beside him, and continued to wait for the food to be served.

"Endless," Jing Xuan sent away a few classmates who came to get close, and whispered to Shang Yang, with a kind expression on his face and a different tone, complaining, "This group of people is really annoying. of."

Shang Yang didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't know him well enough, so he had to pretend he didn't hear it.

Finally, the food was served, and the dinner began. After more than two hours of excitement, the party came to an end.

Some students wanted to change the venue and renew the stall. No matter if they wanted to leave or didn’t want to leave, the others were still polite. Shang Yang couldn’t stand it anymore. He said that there was something wrong with the work unit. Given that the public security unit may have something to do at any time, this reason is very reasonable. .Shang Yang took his coat and wanted to leave.

"I have something to go." Jing Xuan also got up and took his coat, and said to Shang Yang, "I also have to go to Chang'an Avenue, I will see you for a while."

Shang Yang: "..."

It makes sense that a startup COO is always on hand.

"I said, Jing Xuan," Shang Yang said after leaving the restaurant, "I'm too poor to afford a car, is it written on my face?"

Otherwise, how could Jing Xuan know that he definitely didn't drive here?Of course, Shang Yang was not so poor that he couldn't afford a scooter, he just didn't buy it because he didn't need it.

Jing Xuan laughed and said, "I know you didn't buy a car, and you don't have a house under your name."

Shang Yang thought to himself that some classmate probably told him, and said, "If you have something to do, go there."

Jing Xuan said: "I'm fine, I don't want to stay here anymore, they are all annoying guys, it's uncomfortable."

Shang Yang originally wanted to say, then why are you still here?After thinking about it, I didn't come here too.

"I really take Chang'an Street when I go home," Jing Xuan said, "I will pick you up along the way, it won't bother me."

"Okay, then I'll be rude." Shang Yang said.

On the way, Jing Xuan chatted with Shang Yang about some irrelevant topics, mainly about work and parents.

He knew that both Shang Yang's parents had retired, and that Shang Yang's father had a serious illness last year.

"Who did you listen to?" Shang Yang asked suspiciously.

There is no house or car, and it is possible that a classmate in the know told him about it. Not so many people know about his parents.But certainly not a secret.

Jing Xuan was driving the car, turned his head to look at Shang Yang, his eyes and expression revealed a strange sense of familiarity.

Shang Yang: "..."

He felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to laugh because he thought of something.

Later, when Jin Xu asked him on WeChat, "Is it over? What time do you go home?", he replied "I'm on the way, I met a psychopath".

Jin Xu: What?

Shang Yang: There is a man who looks a bit like you.

Jin Xu: What do you mean?

Shang Yang: Like when you were chasing me before, it's like seven or eight points.

Jin Xu: What do you mean?

Shang Yang: If you don't say something well, you will pretend to be X, and you will pretend to be very greasy.

Jin Xu:? ? ?

Jin Xu: Who pretends to be X and who is greasy?

Shang Yang didn't call him back, and decided to make fun of him when he got home.

Ten seconds later, Jin Xu grasped the point: Is there a man teasing you?Is it your classmate?

At this time, Jing Xuan's luxury car was about to drive to Shang Yang's unit, and it was not easy to park on this street. Shang Yang was just about to say, let him go wherever he sees fit.

Jing Xuan said: "You live behind the unit? I'll take you to the entrance of the community, it's more convenient."

Shang Yang: "? Do you know where I live?"

Jing Xuan held the steering wheel, glanced at him, and said, "Officer Shang, if I said I investigated you, you wouldn't arrest me, would you?"
