On Wednesday, Qi Yaohui and Nian Zhifei got off work on time and left the team one after the other.An hour later, the two met again at the door of a restaurant in Wenhu District.Sneaking into the private room side by side, Qi Zhendong, who had changed into casual clothes, was already present.

Noticing the mysterious appearance of the two when they entered the door, Qi Zhendong understood it instantly, and immediately frowned and asked Qi Yaohui: "Yaohui, you haven't made your affairs public yet? Are you disrespectful?"

"Minister Qi..." Nian Zhifei tried to explain to Qi Yaohui, telling Qi Zhendong that he didn't mind these things.

But before he could say anything, Qi Yaohui reached out his hand to stop him, and said seriously: "Dad, I have seriously considered this matter. Nianzai is still my subordinate now, and at this time, it is rumored that he has an office romance with his boss. It will somewhat affect his reputation and promotion in the police force. This is one. Second, Xiaoguang is still in Haicheng. He has pestered the youngster twice before. If we let him know that we are really together, I can't imagine how crazy he would be."

As he spoke, he turned his head and kissed Nian Zhifei's nose affectionately. "I know you don't care about promotion, but you have experienced Xiaoguang's soft knife. You, stupid, sold him and counted the money for him!"

Nian Zhifei's round eyes stared nervously at Qi Yaohui's fingers, shrank slightly like a cat, and couldn't help defending himself: "How could I be so stupid? But he was crying..." Voice Limp and unconvincing.

"A child who can cry has milk. He has to cry three or five times a day since he was a child?" Qi Yaohui sneered and quickly resolved the topic.

Then, he led Nian Zhifei up to Qi Zhendong, and said sternly, "I will officially introduce you. Dad, this is Nian Zhifei, the person I like, and my future marriage partner. Nian Zai, this is my dad."

Nian Zhifei hastily stretched out his hand to Qi Zhendong, and changed his words respectfully: "Hello, Uncle Qi, I am Nian Zhifei."

"Okay, okay." Qi Zhendong got up and held Nian Zhifei's hand, and patted the back of his hand twice in satisfaction.

Qi Zhendong knew very well that Yun Xiangguang had been entangled with Qi Yaohui since he was a child, and he did not know how many admirers Qi Yaohui had driven away.As Qi Yaohui's father, although Qi Zhendong didn't say anything, it was impossible for him to be completely dissatisfied.

The reason why he hasn't spoken in these years is because Qi Yaohui doesn't care about those admirers, and secondly, he just read the words "Yun Xiangguang".Seeing Qi Yaohui defending Nian Zhifei and making plans for Nian Zhifei today, Qi Zhendong immediately understood that this is the true man who finally appeared.

Qi Yaohui has been single for so many years, Qi Zhendong and his wife have long been mentally prepared that he will die alone because of Yun Xiangguang.If anyone can make Qi Yaohui fall in love, be it a pockmarked, lame or blind man, they will still be ecstatic.What's more, a talent like Nian Zhifei is beautiful, shrewd and capable.

With this major premise, the meal between Qi Zhendong and Nian Zhifei was really harmonious and happy.During the period, they made a video call with Aunt Qi who was far away in the capital. Aunt Qi was so excited that she almost booked a ticket on the spot to fly directly to Haicheng.In the end, it was because she confirmed with the airline that the nearest flight would not allow her to catch up with this meal, so she gave up.

But even so, Aunt Qi has quickly exchanged all contact information with Nian Zhifei in the video call, and said with a heartbeat: "If Yaohui dares to bully you, beat him! Then remember to tell Aunt Qi , I’ll clean him up again!”

Qi Yaohui helplessly stretched out his hand to hold his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Mom! Nian cub is better at beating than me, how dare I bully him?"

Aunt Qi spat at her son without blinking, and said as a matter of course: "Nianzai is so good, if it wasn't your fault, he would beat you? Mom and Nianzai have known each other for a long time. Do you remember that day on New Year's Eve? , you are not as caring and sensible as he is. What a failure of education!"

Even through the screen of the mobile phone, Qi's mother can see clearly.When Nian Zhifei looked at Qi Yaohui, his eyes were tender and surging, which was clearly the result of deep love.Rather than worrying about his son being bullied, it is more practical to worry that his son's dog temper will take away his popularity.

Reluctantly hanging up the phone, before the dessert was served, Qi Zhendong finally raised the question he had been worried about. "Yaohui's job will not always be in Haicheng, and it is very likely that he will be transferred in the future..."

"Uncle Qi, I understand what you mean." Before he finished speaking, Nian Zhifei nodded in understanding and replied calmly. "I know that Yaohui wants to go to Nan Province to fight drugs. After I solve my elder brother's case and settle down with my family, I can go with him."

"What?!" Qi Yaohui turned to look at Nian Zhifei in surprise.

Nian Zhifei was frightened, he was at a loss like a child who made a mistake, and asked in a low voice: "Don't you want me to accompany you?...I can help you..."

Qi Yaohui stared at Nian Zhifei closely, and slowly raised a big smile.The next moment, he cupped Nian Zhifei's cheek with both hands, and kissed him forcefully. "Young cub, why are you so cute!"

Before the words fell, there were three more "mememe".

Qi Zhendong, who had his mouth full of dog food stuffed, had nothing to worry about, he only reminded in a low voice when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door: "Someone is coming in, Yaohui, pay attention to your image!"

Qi Zhendong is an old-fashioned person after all, he can't understand the so-called "show affection".All he knows is that intimate matters between husband and wife should be done behind closed doors.If outsiders see it, it will inevitably make people feel that Nian Zhifei can be easily played with by others, and they have no respect for him.

Since Qi Yaohui and Qi Zhendong are father and son, they naturally think similarly.Therefore, when the waiter came in with the dessert, Nian Zhifei's body was neat and tidy again, even his hair was not messed up.

It was said to be dessert after dinner, but the three big men naturally didn't like those sweet and greasy desserts, so the waiter brought them a crab roe soup dumpling with thin skin and big stuffing.

Noticing that Nian Zhifei and Qi Zhendong have the same habit, they both asked the waiter for two plates of balsamic vinegar to be poured into soup dumplings, Qi Yaohui couldn't help but propped his chin and sighed: "You two have such similar tastes in food, if you don't say anything, outsiders still don't like it." I thought you two were father and son!"

Qi Zhendong glared at Qi Yaohui, and purposely reprimanded him with a stern face: "Stinky boy, do you even eat your father's jealousy?"

Qi Yaohui ignored Qi Zhendong and squeezed Nian Zhifei with his arms curiously. "Xiaozai, you don't usually get jealous, do you?"

Nian Zhifei was also at a loss, and replied softly, "I don't know, I just think we should pour two discs....Probably a habit developed since childhood."

He raised his head and looked at Qi Zhendong. For some reason, after eating this meal, he always vaguely felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, and this familiarity had nothing to do with his son Qi Yaohui.

Qi Zhendong is a high-ranking and powerful person who manages a lot of affairs, and he never met with Qi Yaohui in private after this meal.On Friday, according to the work plan, he flew to another province to inspect the work, which can be described as vigorous and resolute.

Qi Yaohui, who is as vigorous and resolute as his father, has to work overtime on weekends, and together with Lao Yan, he will go to meet the remaining distant relatives of Long Xinghe to find clues about the "Feiyue Group" case.

Therefore, Nian Zhifei, who was left alone, did not complain. He bought a bouquet of flowers and several boxes of different types of snacks and drove to a remote cemetery—Songhe Cemetery.Putting flowers and snacks under a tombstone, Nian Zhifei lit another cigarette and placed it in front of the tombstone, then put his hands in his pockets and looked at the tombstone silently.

This day is cloudy.Occasionally, a few rays of light leaked from the cracks in the sky and landed on Nian Zhifei's brow and forehead. The light and shadow intertwined, making his entire face even more obscure.

"...It's been a long time since I came to see you, third child." After an unknown amount of time, Nian Zhifei finally spoke in a deep voice.His voice characteristics are still obvious, but because of his stern expression and cold voice, people can only feel thrilling in their ears.He looked up at the gray sky and took a deep breath before continuing. "I'm fine... I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to take another life."

Nian Zhifei knew he shouldn't live, and he had no reason to live.

But how good it is to be alive!Freshman, how good it is!

The pain and torment that one would have risked death to escape has now vanished.Every day, he can eat delicious food made for him by his grandma; every day, he can get warm hugs from Xiao Yezi; every day, he can see countless friendly smiling faces and hear countless friendly voices Greetings; every day, he can see the majestic beauty of the sun rising, he can see the freedom of birds flying across the sky, and he can also see the beauty and mystery of the bright moon hanging high in the starry sky...

The succulent radish has recently bloomed a flower, which is red and very beautiful.The radish said that there should be a second flower soon.He and Radish are waiting patiently every day, waiting for a flower to bloom.

Lin Letian just forwarded him a new song, the sound quality of heavy metal made his brain hurt, but it was really exciting and pleasant to listen to...

These inadvertent bits and pieces may be insignificant, but they are enough to make Nian Zhifei unwilling to let go.

What's more, there's more——

How lucky he is to like someone, that person who is full of radiance also happens to like him.From that person's eyes, he saw that he still has value, like a billionaire's affirmation to a poor man: You still have hope!He is still worthy of these, worthy of being loved, worthy of being respected, worthy of... living like a human being.

If this is a dream, Nian Zhifei hopes that this dream will never wake up.For this, he can give everything and sacrifice everything.

"...I don't want to mention the past anymore, and I don't want anyone to pursue it. I have never given up on tracking down the whereabouts of our brothers these years, but...now that I am a policeman, I hope that I will never have anything to do with them See you again."

Speaking of this, Nian Zhifei couldn't help frowning slightly with dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice: "When we parted, I said, take this opportunity, wash your hands and go ashore, and be an ordinary person. Why don't you listen to me? It’s hard to earn a knife’s worth of money! Is it worth it to make it like it is today?”

Xu Shi realized that everyone was dead, and it was useless to say these things.Nian Zhifei sighed again. "Forget it! It's all over! I also know that you are forced to do so. People like us don't have many ways to go... I brought some snacks you like, and in the future... probably won't come again. In the future, I should go to the southern province to fight drugs..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Fate is really interesting....Yes, I'm tired of it. However, if it's Qi Yaohui, I can still stick to it. Even if I die in the line of duty, I won't regret it. I know I'm betting, but this time I Really got a strong feeling that I could win the bet. As long as he never knows..."

Another long silence.

Nian Zhifei knew very well that he was unfair to Qi Yaohui.Qi Yaohui gave him too much, but what he could give Qi Yaohui was too little.He couldn't even give Qi Yaohui the most basic and simple "honesty".But he also knows better than anyone else that "honesty" will make him lose Qi Yaohui completely.Therefore, he can only choose to continue to hide it, keep this secret forever, and pray to the omnipotent Erawan God to bless him never to be exposed.

"...I hope he won't hate me, or think I'm disgusting..." Nian Zhifei said these two sentences lightly and weakly.Perhaps because he realized how slim this hope was, he couldn't help lowering his head and laughing at himself, and said lightly: "If there is such a day, he knows... the only thing I can give him is my life."

Desperadoes, the most worthless thing is this life.But the only thing left is this life.Nian Zhifei was ready to hand over everything he had.

Standing silently in front of the tombstone for a while, Nian Zhifei put his palms together and prayed in a low voice: "May God bless your soul!"

After speaking, he bowed and turned to leave.

With Nian Zhifei's departure, the name on the tombstone that had always been hidden by his figure finally appeared. The name of the owner of the tomb was Xiang Nan.

On the way back, Nian Zhifei called Grandma Nian. "Grandma, are you free recently? I have a friend who I want to introduce to you..."

Behind Nian Zhifei's car, the glimmer of light at the end of the sky has been completely swallowed up, leaving only thick black clouds that keep rolling.They are quickly connected to the horizon, like an ancient giant beast carrying wind and rain, with its huge mouth wide open, chasing after Nian Zhifei frantically, trying to pull him back into the darkness.

Nian Zhifei glanced at the boundless darkness in the rearview mirror, and stepped on the accelerator hard.The car was running fast, and the gust of wind poured in from the open window, tearing at his body.It was as if countless steel knives were viciously cutting open his flesh and scraping his bones, trying to shatter him into pieces and completely destroy him into dust.He is not afraid of anything, and all physical pain is fleeting.As long as there is hope and direction in his heart, he knows that he can escape.

together!Yao!Fai!

Nian Zhifei recited the name silently in his heart, gritted his teeth expressionlessly and endured.In a daze, he seemed to see a huge beam of light hitting him in front of him, his car floated up, and his whole body was melted in this golden light.Between heaven and earth, it seemed that there was only this light left.Open up the world, sweep away all ghosts and ghosts, and force back all dark ghosts.

There was only a loud "click", a huge lightning fissioned from the sky, and the thunder rumbled down heavily like a rolling stone.Nian Zhifei took a deep breath, and in an instant, the car's engine let out a violent roar, and the rampant off-road vehicle roared up to a high ground, and escaped desperately just before the rainstorm.
