The sunset sinks at the end of the city, and the traffic of light and shadow always lingers among the high-rise buildings, and different dreams erode every inch of the gaze. Yao Luoxuan was at home waiting for her husband Han Chen's return. She wanted to immediately plunge into Han Chen's caresses, and whispered in his arms, "Hold me tight, never let go." I won't get lost in the past, as long as you're with me forever. I walked a long way to sleep next to you. ”

But this kind of girlish feeling seems to have been forgotten a lot in her over the years. What you need at the moment is not by your side. I need to confide, and I don't know who to talk to. She wanted to call Liu Ting, but she took out her mobile phone and pressed the button, but she didn't know how to drop the call button. She also had other good friends, but she didn't want to connect with them. Yao Luoxuan thought of Liu Ting, and the light on her body seemed to witness her state when she first became a policeman. I want to adjust my posture and cut off from the past, but it is difficult for me to make a choice between joy and boredom.

Yao Luoxuan hugged the bathrobe, walked into the bathroom, and adjusted the water temperature. The water slowly flowed with her skin, and the mist slowly rose until the mirror in the bathroom completely obscured her figure, leaving only her emaciated figure. The SLQ was over quickly, leaving nothing behind, but the touch of the water made my body heavy. Yao Luoxuan resisted the oncoming water, breathing hard, a feeling of semi-suffocation lingering all over his body, and in his panic, he recalled the wreckage that was located in the city.

In this trance, she quickly asked Yao Luoxuan to turn off the water, she dried her body, put on a bathrobe, and looked at the corner of her eyes in the mirror. The years are still there, and she is not her young self, which makes her sure that she has not gone back to the unknown past. She walked out of the bathroom, turned on the air conditioner, closed the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, closed the curtains, folded back into the bathroom, picked up the hair dryer from the cabinet, and slowly dried her hair. According to the program, I applied the skin care products to my face one by one, and then I walked to the living room again satisfied.

She lit a cigarette, brewed instant coffee, opened the mobile app, and immediately played a song. The sad tone of Zhang Chu's "Marriage" echoed in the room. About three minutes later, the song switched to Zhang Chu's "Radiance Avenue". During this time, Yao Luoxuan had already finished smoking a cigarette, and his whole body and mind were extremely relaxed at the same time, just like the right link in the most comfortable posture.

The songs of the three heroes of the magic rock are rarely listened to, maybe it is the relationship of the state of mind, the memory of the girlhood that was popular for a period of time is still so wonderful, and it is still pulling their own mentality to this day, tending to calm down or thinking with new thoughts, and the taste of listening to this kind of song for decades has remained the same. This may be the relationship between Zhang Chu and being called a poet in the singing world.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Yao Luoxuan suddenly woke up. She looked up and found that she had slept for quite some time, and the whole room was completely dark, the Bluetooth speaker was flashing, and the phone was no longer lit up. Yao Luoxuan hurriedly plugged in the power cord, and after a cigarette, he turned on the phone and found that there was no unknown call. Immediately, he called Han Chen.

"Why didn't you come back?" she asked.

"Tonight I made up for it. Han Chen replied.

"It's still a make-up class! The child is so young. ”

"No way, didn't you say okay, you have to go to the best school?

"What time will you be back?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said in a very puzzled voice: "Didn't you say that it's okay, I will make up classes these days, and I will come back too late, so I take them to live nearby, my parents' house?"

"Oh, then you'll have to take care of them. Yao Luoxuan said this, but he didn't seem to have any impression of it. may be because of these days, Yao Luoxuan comforted himself so much.

"You also have to take care of yourself and order some delicious takeout, I have never asked you to cook or do housework in the past few years. I'm not at home, so I'm a little worried about you. Han Chen said over there.

"It's not the first time you've been away from home. Yao Luoxuan said with a frown.

"I know, but you have to take care of yourself. ”

"Well, they don't care so much about me. Yao Luoxuan finally complained.

"You've always been a strong woman. Han Chen praised. "However, life is still so bad, if I am not there for a few days, I don't know how you will do it. ”

"Less. Yao Luoxuan quipped: "It won't be like this." ”

"Won't it be good?" Han Chen asked.

"It's not going to be like this for a few days. Yao Luoxuan replied casually, but when he said it, he always felt a little inappropriate.

"What are you doing now?" Han Chen asked, changing the subject.

"Just woke up and had coffee in the living room. ”

"The weather was cold and the living room was less. Han Chen said.

"It's air-conditioned!"

"That's not going to work. Han Chen insisted on his thoughts.

Yao Luoxuan frowned again, Han Chen was not so obsessed with this matter before. Many times, the two of them lie on the couch together, watch movies and fall asleep together, until they wake up in the early hours of the morning and do not return to the house. The next day, they all spent a new day together.

"Got it, I'll wait for something to eat, and then I'll go back to the house and sleep. ”

"Good. Han Chen said, "Have you taken the medicine?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Yao Luoxuan replied.

"Then you have to eat, now you have to take care of your body. Han Chen said.

"Got it. Yao Luoxuan was a little unhappy.

"By the way, one more thing. Han Chen said, "I heard that you went to the veterans service center again today?"

"yes, I went, what's wrong?"

Han Chen was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and said, "I always feel uncomfortable that you don't hold a gun." ”

"Really?" Yao Luoxuan didn't want to answer the question.

"Okay, the kids are getting out of class, I'll take them something to eat and then go back to the house. ”

"Let's go. Yao Luoxuan replied.

As soon as the morning passed, Yao Luoxuan woke up from his dream. She hurriedly went into the bathroom again and rinsed off the sweat all over her body. I don't know when the air conditioner was turned to 30 degrees, and the house was full of heat. When she got out of the bathroom, she immediately turned off the air conditioner, and she wanted to calm down. At the same time, Yao Luoxuan also had to calm down the dream just now. In the midst of the ruins, she ran dazedly with her gun in hand, surrounded by the sound of gunfire and the crackling of falling shells. Eventually, she ran to a fairly intact building, counted the magazines on her body, and found that she seemed to have lost more than half of them on the way to escape, only two, not even tactical grenades and other equipment. The only thing that makes it easy for her is that there are so many things missing, and it is so much easier to run. It's just that it seems, she's forgotten something. In her dreams, she struggled to find what she had lost. She didn't know, but what she lost was precious to her, more precious than her life. Just when she was dazed, she seemed to know what she was looking for, and ran towards this side not far away. Yao Luoxuan walked out of the building and saw a huge tank rumbling towards him. She could have taken refuge in the bunker, but she didn't, because she knew that everything precious was in the dust in the distance, and she ran towards it, while the barrel of the tank was aimed at her, and the fiery serpent came out. So, it's such an awakening.

When Yao Luoxuan and Liu Ting took a break at noon, they came to the nearby Starbucks to drink coffee and eat snacks. Liu Ting no longer touched the back of her neck, but she looked very unmotivated. Liu Ting ordered unsweetened Americano coffee mixed with a few pieces of chocolate cake, both of which were superficial attempts. Yao Luoxuan asked for a sandwich, she deliberately added some ketchup to it, ordered a matcha latte, and slowly bit into her mouth until it melted, and then swallowed it. However, it may be because of the dream that he woke up in the early morning, Yao Luoxuan's whole person looked very unenergetic.

"I had a fight with my boyfriend. Liu Ting said.

"When you're together, there's always going to be disagreements. Yao Luoxuan comforted: "Just don't affect your usual mood." ”

"It's a light thing to say, but I've always been obsessed with it. Liu Ting said with a sigh.

"Can you tell me?" asked Yao Luoxuan.

"If I don't tell you, who else can I say to you? Liu Ting smiled, but her face was a little pale.

Yao Luoxuan put the coffee on the coffee table, took another bite of the sandwich, and waited for the following.

Liu Ting took out her mobile phone, swiped it a few times, and didn't find the news she wanted, so she put it aside, she raised her head, looked at Yao Luoxuan and said, "He wants me to be a criminal police again." Of course, he had already said hello to the leader. Anything is possible as long as I want. ”

"What is the reason?" Yao Luoxuan knew that Liu Ting must have refused.

"I don't know, I always feel that this place is suitable for me, and it's better now. Liu Ting said.

"The attitude towards life seems to have changed. But why does he want you to be a detective. ”

He said that the criminal police are a little freer, and the traffic police are always in one place. Liu Ting shrugged: "But the level of fatigue is not so easy." ”

"What about your own thoughts? It's not because of that. Yao Luoxuan tentatively.

Liu Ting nodded, she sighed: "Because of the boss." ”

"Zhao Cui?"

"Well, there was no suspension, no punishment, just a sabbatical. Judging from the urine above, he may have to take a public vacation indefinitely. ”

"Is it because of the two murders?" Yao Luoxuan didn't want to mention, but he still opened his mouth for some reason.

Liu Ting shook her head and denied it, she said: "These two killings are not so simple, but they are not a reason for him to take unlimited public leave." I went to see the boss yesterday and he seemed very happy with being in this state. ”

"Very satisfied?" asked Yao Luoxuan, feeling incredible.

Liu Ting drank all the coffee in the cup and asked the waiter to refill the cup. The waiter said that he couldn't refill the cup, Liu Ting waved her hand and took out the QR code on her mobile phone to ask the waiter to collect the money. The waiter was at a stalemate for a while, then went to the bar to get the barcode scanner, accepted the electronic payment, and quickly re-served the glass. After Liu Ting got the coffee, she continued: "He seems to be investigating other cases. ”

"An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Yao Luoxuan admired: "Even if he doesn't interfere, so many years of contacts will always give him a lot of resources." ”

Speaking of this, Yao Luoxuan seemed to feel the difference, and she said tentatively: "Old Zhao Gong is on vacation, is it that the leader of the criminal police team is going to arrange it again?"

Liu Ting nodded. "Of course, the vice-captain came up, and then a lot of new positions gradually became vacant below. ”

"Your boyfriend doesn't want you to be on top of it. Yao Luoxuan quipped.

"Hmm. Liu Ting did not deny it, and then said: "He has such a meaning, he said that if he mixes up his position, he can be promoted in the future." ”

"How do you answer?"

"I'm a police officer, and I'm not a mess. ”

"What about him?"

"Didn't he say the mixed food was better?"

"Have you ever had such an argument before?"

"Nope. Liu Ting sighed: "I've never seen him so greedy." ”

"Maybe he's thinking about your future. Yao Luoxuan comforted again.

"Probably. Liu Ting confirmed: "He is also very busy during this time. ”

"I never knew what your boyfriend did. ”

"Archaeology. Liu Ting smiled and said, "But it's not a study of physical objects." ”

"How?"

"He is not the kind of guy who digs people's graves everywhere, he likes to explore the culture from various graves, and even admired Han culture for a while. Speaking of this, Liu Ting whispered: "There was a time when he always asked me to wear all kinds of Hanfu and follow him. ”

Yao Luoxuan smiled: "That's not very good. ”

"What do you think Hanfu is? Now those beautiful girls on TV who are dressed beautifully and pose a few quiet movements, known as the ancient style, do you think this is Hanfu? Liu Ting shook her head and thought of the right things: "In the late Qin and Han dynasties, more than 2,000 years ago, could there have been such beautiful clothes? It's not that pretty, it's a stab! I can't get used to it. ”

Yao Luoxuan was silent, she knew that now on TV, on the news, and even on the media, and on the streets, those girls dressed beautifully, claiming to be ancient Hanfu, but they really don't know history. Sometimes, they are still distorting Han culture.

Liu Ting continued: "Recently, he has fallen in love with Han culture again, and Han culture is only Confucian. I don't understand it, but now that he's home, he's starting to talk in a crepe-like way, which is a bit annoying. It's almost time for me to learn female virtue. ”

"You can't learn from women's virtues. Isn't there a lot of news about the Confucian female Durban? It is completely discriminatory against women. ”

Of course, I know this, he is still a so-called teacher of the Confucian Culture Society of New Chinese Studies. It's a good mix!"

"I've heard of that cultural club, but they are very good, and several masters of Chinese studies are their professors. Yao Luoxuan nodded.

"That thing hurts. Liu Ting shook her head.

"However, the reason for your quarrel is not because he asked you to be a criminal policeman, or let you learn ancient customs with him. Yao Luoxuan corrected.

"A kind of stubbornness. Liu Ting said. "It's enough that kid likes Han culture, and he insists that he wants Confucianism to reappear in this world. I retorted casually, and he actually started arguing with me. ”

"It seems that he is obsessed to the bone. Yao Luoxuan said.

Liu Ting nodded, noncommittal.

"People are like that, and you may recover after two days of obsession. Yao Luoxuan comforted.

"Not necessarily. Liu Ting shook her head. "He kid actually said that the Qin Dynasty is still in the world, and he wants to find it, destroy them, and avenge the Confucian disciples who were killed by Qin Shi Huang back then. ”

"That's. Yao Luoxuan said: "This is a bit crazy. ”

"Not really!"

"Forget it, let's talk about Nian Hao. Liu Ting changed the subject.

Yao Luoxuan frowned, obviously this was not the topic she wanted to bring up.

"Something happened to this guy. Liu Ting said.

"What's wrong?" Yao Luoxuan asked.

"Something happened to his little girlfriend's house. Liu Ting said: "His little girlfriend, a girl named Sun Qian, her parents fled because of buying and selling national cultural relics. The little girl also seemed to have run away with his parents. ”

"It's so serious, why haven't I heard of it?" asked Yao Luoxuan.

"The news was blocked for several hours, but it was still broken. Liu Ting explained: "It seems to be the news of my own people." ”

"That's not a good sign!"

Liu Ting nodded in agreement, and she continued: "I heard that it is a batch of cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty. It's quite a lot. ”

"Wait. Yao Luoxuan seemed to realize something. She stopped Liu Ting's words, then thought for a moment and said, "Your boyfriend is in the New Kingdom Confucian Culture Society, and he also said that the descendants of Qin are not dead. Now there are cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty again. It all matters. But, speaking of which, you deliberately led the topic?"

Liu Ting's eyes widened, her eyes rolled around, and then she said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." I really didn't expect that, though. ”

After listening to Liu Ting's explanation, Yao Luoxuan glanced at her a few more times, as if she was not lying.

Seeing that Yao Luoxuan didn't speak, Liu Ting said, "However, the last time I saw the boss, it seems that he is also tracking down these things. ”

"Oh? That's weird. Yao Luoxuan said: "According to reason, Lao Zhao should not give up the case in his hand, how did he track down this case?"

"It has something to do with Nian Hao!" Liu Ting said.

When Yao Luoxuan heard Nian Hao's words, she immediately squinted her eyes and leaned on her back, obviously, she was extremely reluctant to involve him in her heart.

Seeing Yao Luoxuan's performance, Liu Ting sorted out her thoughts and said: "Everything happened to him, and everything revolves around him, which is a bit unreasonable, but it is true." Sister, have you forgotten?"

Yao Luoxuan shook his head, indicating that he had not forgotten.

-- Divider --

Yao Luoxuan and Liu Ting discussed in the café, but they didn't come up with a reason. The main thing is that Yao Luoxuan avoided Nian Hao's problem. Every time he talked about Nian Hao, Yao Luoxuan always felt uncomfortable all around. But she got an accurate message, the stolen ancient relics were a batch of weapons of the Qin Dynasty, there were a lot of them, and if there were enough people, they could definitely wake up an army.

The army?Yao Luoxuan himself felt ridiculed. No matter how powerful the ancient army was, how could it be inferior to the modern army. Even if they suddenly appeared on the streets, Yao Luoxuan was confident that the armed police force here would soon be able to suppress them. These two words appeared in Yao Luoxuan's heart, and he instantly fell aside. Luckily, the streets she saw were still the same, unchanged, with no gunfire or tanks. The feeling of waking up from a nightmare in the early hours of the morning spread throughout her body, and she measured the street in front of her, where her sense of touch was extended, and she was actually thinking about its distance. The idea that popped into Yao Luoxuan's heart was how many people were needed, what kind of configuration was needed, and what kind of place-occupancy methods were needed to occupy these blocks. After this thought was forcibly suppressed by herself, she felt what kind of way she needed to avoid all possible attacks if she was on this street.

Of course, it was a concept, and she shook her head and smoked violently to get rid of the uncomfortable stuff. But it seems that the more you try to eliminate this thing, the more difficult it is to achieve. It may be necessary to rush upwards until you knock open the door to all the problems to get everything you need to know.

She remembered the photo again, the photo of her running through the ruins with Nian Hao with a gun. Is that herself? And is that young man really Nian Hao? She needs answers, and where is the answer? She needs to prove and prove the facts.

Just as she was wondering if she should look into it. The phone called. It's Han Chen.

"We're not going home tonight. Han Chen said.

"Why?"

"Babies love grandparents here. Han Chen explained.

"You send some videos, let me see the babies!" Yao Luoxuan felt depressed, with a hint of suspicion.

"Got it, I'll video call you later. Han Chen replied.

"I'm going to video call now. After speaking, Yao Luoxuan hung up the phone, entered WeChat, and then clicked on Han Chen's avatar and chose a video call.

But no one answered. Yao Luoxuan clicked three times in a row, and the time passed minute by minute, but no one answered.

Returning to the main interface, Yao Luoxuan clicked on the phone and spoke to Han Chen again.

"Why don't you answer my call?" asked Yao Luoxuan.

"I'm busy right now!"

"But I want voice right now. ”

"Baby didn't get out of school, they weren't with me. ”

"I want to talk to you!"

"I'm really busy!"

"Then you still have time to call!"

Han Chen's end was silent. Yao Luoxuan waited.

After a long time, Han Chen said, "I'll talk about it when I'm done!"

The voice fell, and Han Chen hung up the phone.

Yao Luoxuan bit his lip. She endured it and returned to the sentry box. Liu Ting put on her uniform at this time and was educating an illegal driver.

"I've got something to go out for. Yao Luoxuan said.

Liu Ting glanced back at her, nodded, and replied, "Okay, you can go." ”

Yao Luo nodded, thanked him, didn't say anything, and looked for Han Chen's company.
