Chapter 93: Closeness in the Night

The night made us all undisguise and guard.

The relationship between me and Ai Xiaoxi is also a little close.

If this closeness is concerned, it originally comes from the desire to snoop and the familiarity of the unfamiliar.

Now, after we open our hearts, the lonely souls rely on each other and warm themselves at night.

We talked for a long time before hanging up.

She talked a lot about college and work.

For example, a boy has always liked her, but she has no feelings for boys of the same age.

For example, a certain owner who drives a luxury car always has to give her a lot of gifts.

For example, she studied dance and yoga, and also took a yoga trainer certificate.

It's more that she's talking, I'm listening.

Occasionally she would ask me to hum another song to her.

Until her voice grew softer and softer, and finally she fell asleep to my humming......

I slept very lightly that night, and I was always half-asleep and half-awake.

I dreamed of Xia Yun, she was with a ***, and I couldn't see the man's appearance clearly.

At that moment, my heart was like water, because I thought that under everyone's seemingly calm appearance, deep down there are secrets that others don't know.

But everyone is making an active or passive choice.

Once a choice is made, one should be held accountable for it.

The thought of letting go of everything countless times, in this moment of dreaming, appeared in my heart with great clarity and calmness.

I opened my eyes from my dream, and the dark and lonely space seemed to be in a dead sea.

In the darkness, I let out a long sigh.

I sent a text message to Xia Yun.

Only five words.

"Let's get a divorce."

From meeting her on the airport highway yesterday, to now, between us, there are only these five words.

I turned off my phone.

For the whole day, Officer Li and I stayed at the Nan'an Police Station, discussing the case and sorting out materials with Officer Gan.

Until now, I still didn't know how complex the background of the case I was going to be involved in at the moment was.

I'm not in the system, so Officer Li won't tell me too much.

All I knew was that my job was to draw.

Officer Li and Officer Gan are alumni, but Officer Gan is two years older, because a case of smuggling of ancient paintings that he is handling is in a state of stalemate, and Officer Gan inadvertently heard Officer Li talk about me, so he asked Officer Li and wanted me to try to draw a criminal portrait.

Originally, I didn't expect that this case would have anything to do with Brother Mazi's side. It's just because of the rape case of roast chicken, in the process of investigation, roast chicken spit out a lot of information about other cases, back and forth, among which there are a few clues, and the ancient painting smuggling gang in Nan'an is actually linked.

Originally, I felt like a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came, I would pry open the case of the ancient tomb, and I also caught a suspect on a motorcycle, which made Officer Gan look at me with admiration.

Officer Gan is a veteran criminal police officer of the local police station, with rich experience in solving cases, but he looks very kind, and, in the crowd, he is just an ordinary passerby, with no characteristics.

Except for those eyes that glow from time to time.

"Didn't get a good night's rest last night?" The first time Officer Gan looked at me, he noticed that I was not in very good shape.

"I'm insomnia." I say.

"Can you sleep well when you sing at night?" Officer Li glanced at me.

I was stunned. Could it be that the walls of this guest house are not soundproof, and did he hear what he said to Ai Xiaoxi last night?

"Singing?" Officer Gan smiled, "Xiao Wu likes to sing, you can ask KTV to sing when you have time." ”

"I just hummed two songs, and you can hear them."

I smiled and glanced at Officer Li, his expression meaningless to anything else.

"You're still singing the whole song?" He raised his eyebrows, "I just heard two sentences in a daze, and then I fell asleep." ”

I looked at him twice, and his expression didn't seem to be fake, and if I really heard anything, I had to shake it up.

So I'm relieved.

The original stalemate of the case, because of the idea of a chain of sets I proposed, opened up a new way of thinking. So after we've sorted out some materials and ideas today, there's no need to stay here.

I gave Officer Li a look again and again, and he understood what I meant, so he proposed to Officer Gan to buy a plane ticket and fly back with me in the afternoon. Officer Gan tried every means to keep us, but he had to let us stay and drink two glasses at night to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and even Officer Xiao Wu showed the intention of retaining it.

But we still came back on an evening flight.

Maybe it was because I had concealed the news of Chen Yiyao's return to China, which made me feel a little more estranged in my heart.

Along the way, I didn't have much communication with Officer Li.

When I got on the plane, I leaned against the window in a daze, and in the night, the plane slowly glided and accelerated into the air.

The huge thrust squeezed me into the backrest, and I looked out the window at the night sky, in the darkness, the sporadic light of the city, farther and farther away.

Until darkness takes over all vision.

A huge sense of loneliness enveloped me again.

Tomorrow, Chen Yiyao will leave.

And I finally made up my mind to divorce Xia Yun.

The world is unpredictable, and I want to go back to the summer of my senior year of high school.

A lonely person.

Just like Ai Xiaoxi now.

That year, I failed the college entrance examination, my grades in cultural classes did not reach the score line, and I also lost the opportunity to go to the prestigious school I wanted to be admitted to the major in advance, but entered a second-rate art academy.

This blow made me a little depressed.

And what overwhelmed me the most was the news of Chen Yiyao.

The phone is turned off, the mail is not returned, and the door is locked.

No one knows where she went, or even whether she was dead or alive.

Even when I went to the police station to report my disappearance, the police questioned my relationship with Chen Yiyao.

A living girl, just so quietly, completely disappeared from my life.

I had insomnia all night and a lot of my hair was falling out.

My mother thought that she blamed herself for not being admitted to a prestigious school, and called Ah B and Li Anbang to persuade me.

I sat on the roof every day singing, drinking, crying, in a daze, bored.

The two of them also accompany me every day to be bored, in a daze, and drinking.

It wasn't until the beginning of the university that the courses at the Academy of Fine Arts gradually allowed me to find spiritual sustenance.

I just came out of my depression.

……

After the plane landed, I refused Officer Li's offer to take me back, and instead chose to take a taxi back to the community by myself.

As the car shuttled through the inky darkness, with the occasional flashing of street lights, I leaned against the window and looked out at the strange night.

The taxi was like driving into an abyss of despair, and the more I drove forward, the closer I got to home, the more panicked and resisted I felt.

This loneliness, wisps of it, wrapped me around me like a strand of rope, consuming the remaining strength in my body like a cocoon, and I didn't even have the strength to breathe.

I turned on and off my phone all day.

In the speeding car, the prompt tones of unread messages exploded intensively in the hands.

I clicked on the top one, which was sent by Xia Yun.

It's just four words, but it burns my eyes.

"I'm pregnant."
