At night, it was still snowing outside, and Xin Gan wanted to turn off the light when he entered the room after brushing his teeth, but before it was turned off, Cheng Ji said, "Don't turn off the light." ”

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Yan didn't say why, just said: "It's on." ”

Xingan didn't ask any more, closed the door, took off his coat and lay down next to him.

Cheng Ji looked at the ceiling with his eyes open, and did not make any other movements.

Xingan turned his head sideways to look at his jaw, reached out and patted his arm, and whispered, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

Cheng Yan shook his head and laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "I'm not used to sleeping with the lights off, so let's leave it on." ”

She got up in the middle of the night several times before to look for water to drink, and saw the light on the crack in the door of his room, at first she thought that he couldn't sleep, but now that she thinks about it, it should be that he has a shadow.

It must have something to do with the previous operation.

He had been out of touch for months, and as soon as he came back, something so big happened, and she didn't know anything about what he had been through that mission.

Didn't ask either.

She didn't ask, and Cheng Ji wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.

She couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, thinking about what happened to him on that mission, and almost put herself in it.

There is also Cheng Zhen who can't sleep.

Even if he couldn't sleep, he could close his eyes and stay still, and Xin Gan thought he was asleep, and looked at the contours of his eyebrows unscrupulously, she cautiously approached him and gently hugged his arm.

Cheng Yan waited for her to fall asleep, touched her hair, his eyes were dark, and he forbeared.

……

In that operation, Cheng Ji missed a traitor among them and sold all their plans and actions to Ji Bai.

Those months were like hell for him, dark and with no end in sight.

After Jiang Tang injected him with that thing, people kept injecting him every once in a while, and he didn't have to resist at all, he was tied to the board, life and death were out of his own control, and he was slaughtered by others.

He didn't take the initiative to get infected with that thing, it was Jiang Tang who injected him with that thing in order to make him succumb and make him become a person like them.

These things are known only to Chief Meng and his superiors, and no one else is clear.

Xingan just knew that he was forced to get infected because of that mission, and she didn't ask about the ins and outs of the matter, so she ran to Beiyu to find him without hesitation and stay by his side, obviously scared to death, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.

This kind of encounter is not something worth talking about for him, he doesn't say a word.

Fortunately, Xingan didn't ask him.

……

When he got up the next morning, Chief Meng came to look for him, and the two stood at the door talking.

Xin Gan was boiling water in the kitchen, not paying attention to what Staff Chief Meng was telling him.

Staff Chief Meng handed him a cigarette and said, "In a few days, someone will be sent down to investigate, and we will cooperate with all those we should cooperate, don't have a psychological burden, and all the procedures we have to go through will be passed." ”

Cheng Yan smoked a cigarette and didn't speak with a black face.

"You two are still missing something, come back and tell me, I'll help you get it."

"No, it's all there."

Staff Chief Meng bit the cigarette butt, squinted his eyes, and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, there is, how do you feel so sad, be spiritual." ”

Counselor Meng is full of energy, Rao is Cheng Ji can't bear it, and he has just recovered from a serious illness, and his body is still there, but he can't stand Counselor Meng's shot.

Cheng Yan was speechless.

"What to see, haven't you seen it, you give me a clever point, don't die or live, cure if you are sick, and cheer up if you are not sick."

Cheng Zhen chuckled and spit out a puff of cigarette, and the atmosphere eased a little.

"Okay, don't stand stupidly, let's go inside, it's cold outside, I'm leaving."

……

After Chief Meng left, Cheng Yan closed the door, put on his shoes, smoked his last cigarette, and approached the kitchen.

Xingan took a rag and wiped the table, his head bowed, his hair hanging down from his cheeks.

Cheng Jiwu leaned against the wall and said to himself: "Senator Meng has a son who just went to college this year, and the son follows his father's business, and he follows the same old path as his father. If I have a child in the future, I won't let him learn from me. ”

Xingan's hand stopped, and he asked, "What about the girl?" ”

"Girls? Just like you, learn to draw and dance, and learn anything. Of course, you also have to learn some fighting skills, so as not to meet the disciples in the future, you can also fight a dozen. ”

Sengam sighed.

Cheng Jiu's gaze swept over, she still lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, he noticed something, her throat was dry, and she didn't make a sound for a long time.

During this time, it was not only him who was depressed, but also her.

He didn't explain anything, she was panicked and scared, and there was nowhere to hide, this would be what Staff Chief Meng just said to him at the door, she heard a little bit, she stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, and choked up: "I'll go to the bathroom, don't come with me." ”

It's too embarrassing to cry in front of his eyes.

Xingan was even more afraid that his emotions would affect him.

His pressure is no less than hers.

When Xin Gan came out after washing his face, his eyes were as red as rabbits, and Cheng Zhen hooked his lips: "Crying?" ”

Xingan looked away from him.

Cheng Zhen was like no one else, with a faint smile on his face, he stepped forward to hug her, kissing her hair, forehead, and then lips.

The more she kissed, the more uneasy she became, her hands clutching his arm tightly, tilting her head, opening her eyes to look at him, very close.

Cheng Ji seemed to use his actions to tell her that he was by her side, real, not illusory.

Xin Gan couldn't help shedding tears again, his heartbeat was unbalanced, and he looked up at him: "Cheng Jiu, I'm afraid, I'm so afraid, will you be okay?" ”

He inhaled softly, looked down, and kissed her on the forehead again.

"This is the last time, when I'm done with the matter at hand, we'll go back to Yongcheng."

Xingan: "But are you willing to leave?" Little Ten They said, you like it very much, you came here after graduation......"

"Sooner or later, I'm going to change jobs." The implication is that he has to go back, and he can't never go back to Yongcheng, before this happened, he planned to apply for a job transfer back to Yongcheng at the age of age, and it just so happened that he could go back this time.

The days in Beiyu are all tasks, actions, training, physical fitness, operations, plans, day and night, sleeping in the open air, day and night, he thought that this kind of life would always be monotonous and boring, who knew that life played a huge joke with him, fortunately, Xingan came to his world and became his faith.

Xin Gan lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, a little grievance, because he had cried, Chu Chu was pitiful, and he was very worried about him.

Cheng Zhen touched her cheek, his fingertips slid to her earlobe, pink and tender, he pinched it, and couldn't put it down.

"Still worries you."

Xin Gan sniffed, didn't want to cry anymore, pretended to be calm, and said, "It's okay, as long as you're okay, I'll wait for you, I will support you in whatever you want." ”

Cheng Zhen felt guilty, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her, patted her on the shoulder, and the words of comfort were superfluous, and he couldn't say it, as if his throat was blocked.

……

In the next few days, Cheng Ji went out early and returned late to be investigated and questioned, and Xin Gan was inconvenient to accompany him, so he waited for him to come back in the house.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, because of this incident, Cheng Zheng did not keep vigil with Xin Gan, and did not return until more than two o'clock in the evening.

The clothes on his body were covered with snowflakes, and when he shook them, they all fell and melted into water.

He came home overnight and opened the door very lightly, for fear of making a noise.

Who knows, Xingan sat on the sofa and fell asleep, covered with a thin blanket, fortunately there was heating in the house, otherwise, she would definitely be sick.

Cheng Yan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly, put down the key, took off his coat, stepped forward to pick her up, she frowned, and he coaxed softly: "Let's go back to the room and sleep." ”

Xin Gan was half asleep and half awake, feeling a little cold, subconsciously drilled into his arms, pressed against his warm chest, rubbed it, woke up a little, grabbed the sweater on his waist with his fingers, his voice was hoarse, and said, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Eat, don't worry."

Ask questions normally, so as not to imprison his personal freedom and deny him food.

It's not that perverted either.

He wasn't a prisoner either.

When he got to the room, Cheng Yan put her on the bed, turned on the heating, took off his sweater, and lay down in the quilt.

Xingan squinted at him and touched his chin, as if to confirm that he was back and not her dream.

Cheng Yan was touched by her, and he couldn't bear to touch her, and said in a dumb voice: "It's late, go to sleep, I'll sleep with you." ”

Xingan closed his eyes again and asked him in a daze, "Do you want to go tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, yes." It won't be able to go away in the short term.

"It's troublesome, are you a bad person, why do you ...... like this"

"This is the procedure, you have to go, it's okay, I'll take care of this matter, don't worry, next time you're sleepy, go back to your room to sleep, don't sleep in the living room, you have a fever and a cold."

Xingan muttered, frowning, unhappy that he was so fierce to himself.

She is unconscious, coquettish at him.

"Don't kill me, I'll be scared......"

Cheng Jiu's heart softened, all the dark emotions were dispelled by her warmth, he didn't restrain himself, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

During the day, he was asked endlessly by those people, a question, and asked again and again, he was almost annoyed to death, these people are always on top, they don't know what is going on in their front line, and if something happens, they will only use the same method of interrogating criminals to rectify him.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything wrong, and he can have a clear conscience, but the little black house has been closed for a long time and he is irritable.

Xin Gan was out of breath, opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, he closed his eyes, very serious and serious, his eyebrows and eyes were charming, she was also involved unconsciously, she couldn't live or die, she could only hold him firmly and hold him.

Once Cheng Ji goes crazy, he can't control it.

Although he has lost a lot of weight, his physical foundation is still good, and it is more than enough to deal with her.

Xingan is not an opponent at all, and can only be tossed and turned by him.

The two of them have received certificates, and there is no need to hide their emotions.

Cheng Zhen didn't hide his possessiveness for her.

……

The next morning, the Xin family called.

Directly to Cheng Zheng's mobile phone.

Xingan is still sleeping, sleeping elegantly, motionless, like a sleeping beauty.

Cheng Yan touched her face, quickly lifted his waistband and took his mobile phone and walked out to answer the phone.

Father Xin called, his tone was naturally normal, and he was not surprised that he answered it, and asked him, "What about Xingan?" Haven't gotten up yet? ”

"She slept late when I came back last night and is still resting."

"Why do you go to bed so late?"

"She's worried about me, she's not worried about me."

Father Xin was silent for a while and said, "Are you coming back this year?" ”

"I'm sorry, father-in-law, because of my relationship, I can't leave for the time being."

"It's nothing, she's cold, you help us take care of her, let her pay attention to keeping warm, it's cold, don't run out, stay at home and rest more." Father Xin didn't have anything to say in particular, he just knew that Cheng Ji had an accident when he went out on a mission, and he couldn't leave Beiyu yet, but it was nothing serious.

Cheng Zhen said yes.

Father Xin hung up the phone, and Mother Xin, who was standing on the side, asked anxiously, "How is it?" Nothing happened, right? ”

"The call was answered by Cheng Jiu, and nothing should happen to him when he listens to his voice." May be a bit of a hassle.

Xin's mother walked around, "But how do I feel wrong, the Cheng family didn't make it clear what happened to Cheng Jiu, and Xin Xin didn't say anything, doesn't this make us worry about it?" ”

"Most of Cheng Ji's affairs involve secrecy, how can Xin Gan know, even if she passes over and sees Cheng Ji herself, it doesn't mean that she will be able to know those things, don't worry about it, since Cheng Ji said it's okay, let's not worry about it."

Xin's mother sighed: "How do I feel that this year is so unpeaceful." ”

"Then go burn incense and worship, and when Xingan comes back, take Xingan to worship."

"That's fine."

……

The Cheng family's New Year is no different from the past, everyone thought that this year would be more lively, after all, Cheng Jiu and Xin Gan's wedding was planned to be held at the end of the year, and now there was a temporary situation, Cheng Ji couldn't come back, Xin Gan was not in Yongcheng, and the Cheng family's New Year's atmosphere was much lighter.

Fortunately, the Xin family has come and gone, and it is a little lively.

He Chuan came to visit the New Year, and Mrs. Cheng received him.

They are all acquaintances, and they don't engage in those superficial things.

Mrs. Cheng poured tea and asked him: "I heard from your Mrs. He that I want to arrange a blind date for you to find a girlfriend, and I also came to ask me if there are any suitable girls to introduce, Mrs. He has come to ask me, I can't help but agree, come, you can tell your aunt, what type of girl do you like?" ”

Cheng Hui was sitting on the single sofa playing games, and when he heard his mother ask He Chuan to speak, he didn't raise his head, and he didn't know if he didn't hear it.

He Chuan quietly observed Cheng Hui, but before he could speak, Cheng Hui's mobile phone rang.

Mrs. Cheng glared at her: "You're busy, your phone is ringing all day and night." ”

Cheng Hui: "How can I have it, isn't it just that my classmates are looking for me to go out to eat." ”

"Which friend is it again?"

"Just college classmates." With that, Cheng Hui took his mobile phone and walked to the small garden to pick it up.

Mrs. Cheng: "Leave her alone, let's talk about ours, by the way, what do you like, I'll introduce you to ......"

Cheng Zhen got married, but Mrs. Cheng's heart was up, although she didn't like the rest of the He family, but He Chuan's child was good, and she had a good relationship with Cheng Ji, Mrs. Cheng regarded He Chuan as her own.

Cheng returned to the small garden to answer the call from Tang Que, Tang Que's voice was strange, and he hesitated for a long time, saying, "Cheng Hui, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Cheng Hui said: "Well, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

It's been a semester.

After she was rejected by him, it had been a semester.

Tang Que said: "There is a high school reunion tomorrow, ask if you are coming?" ”

Tang Que is in the same class as her senior year of high school, and if the class organizes a class reunion, she will also be invited.

Tang Que is the squad leader, so naturally he also invited him.

Cheng Hui said: "Don't go, I seem to have something to do tomorrow." ”

"You're not here because of me, right?"

"No, it's true."

Tang Que chuckled: "Cheng Hui, there's no need to be like this, I'm not the only one here tomorrow, there are other classmates, if you don't want to see me, I can not go." ”

Cheng Hui used to like him very much, but now she is just a little reluctant to him, she hasn't completely let go, she just doesn't feel very happy, especially when he is with his friends, and she is nothing.

But it can't be because of her, Tang Que won't go, and then the classmates will come to trouble her.

Cheng Hui was stubborn, and could only say: "I don't want to see you......"

"Come on, then, it's nothing. It's just a meal, just talk about it, after all, everyone has known each other for so long, and they have struggled together in the third year of high school. ”

Cheng Hui: "......"

……

Cheng Hui finished the phone call, knocked on his brain, and secretly hated that he couldn't refuse Tang Que.

It's only been a semester, and she still can't let go completely.

This is a thorn in her heart, it's okay to ignore it usually, but once it touches it, the pain is unbearable and unforgettable.

Cheng turned around and was suddenly startled by He Chuan who was standing at the door.

"Why are you standing here silent?" I don't know how long he stood there.

He Chuan pouted with a smile that seemed to be smiling: "Why don't you say that you are a thief yourself, and you didn't notice me." ”

Cheng Hui saw his smile, and his scalp was numb: "Where am I a thief, don't talk nonsense." ”

"An old lover is looking for you, aren't you a thief?"

Cheng Hui hurriedly looked to see if there were other people around, she was afraid of being heard, she was weak-hearted, but not a thief, but a weak relationship with He Chuan.

She was attacked by him several times, and he took her back to his residence several times, although nothing happened, but she knew in her heart that her relationship with He Chuan was unclear and very ambiguous.

"What a mess, don't talk nonsense, get out of the way, I'm going in."

He Chuan didn't let him and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Cheng went to the study to answer the phone, and she won't be able to get off for a while." Take advantage of this time to talk about what your old lover said to you. ”

This is a declarative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

Cheng Hui didn't give a good face, and he also had a little temper, and said: "You don't try me like a prisoner, I haven't sued my brother yet, you move his sister, you have such a good relationship with my brother, you still think about his sister, you still say to me in this tone, He Chuan, don't go too far." ”

He Chuan sneered, this would be an undisguised sneer, raised his chin, and looked down at her condescendingly: "Cheng Hui, you have become bolder, am I too indulgent to you." ”

Cheng Hui also became stubborn: "Get out of the way, I don't want to talk to you." If you don't let me, I'll go by myself. ”

He Chuan definitely didn't let her go: "Let's talk about it, don't leave if you don't say it." ”

"He Chuan, this is my home."

"So, let me find out or do you explain it yourself? Well, I'll give you a choice. ”

Cheng Hui's heart was blocked, and he became more and more irritable, and walked outside the garden.

He Chuan raised his leg and followed.

Mrs. Cheng was on the phone in the study, standing by the window, and saw Cheng Hui and He Chuan walking one after the other.
