Early in the morning, a tube building apartment in the west district of the city - Shuguang Apartment.

The sky has cleared, and a thunderstorm last night seems to have completely cleaned the city, and even the haze in the air has been washed away without a trace, and everywhere is fresh.

Sunlight shines in the clean and tidy room. Xia Qing hurriedly walked to the door, took out a pair of flat leather shoes from the shoe cabinet at random, and stuffed her feet into it indiscriminately, the professional clothes on her body were not neatly dressed, and she was in a hurry as if she was going to war. The hip-hugging suit fabric professional section skirt has no elasticity, restricting the movement of her thighs, she can only turn her slender calves and waist as much as possible, and shout into the house while trying to put on her shoes.

"Duoduo, hurry up, I'm going to be late for class again!"

"It's coming, it's coming!" Xia Duo, wearing a school uniform, ran out of the house quickly, drank the remaining half a cup of milk in one gulp, took a piece of toast bread and stuffed it in his mouth, and ran to the door......

Jiang You walked to the door of the house with a plastic bag. The plastic bag contained beer and a box of bento boxes, which I should have bought early on the way home. Although he didn't go home all night, he was straight and couldn't show a trace of exhaustion. Only the dim eyes with a slight disappointment could see a little tiredness.

Another night of nothing......

When he opened the door, Xia Qing and Xia Duo's mother and daughter happened to come out of the house, and the two were still discussing something. Noticing Jiang You, who was about to open the door next door, they stopped discussing.

Xia Qing said to Jiang You a little embarrassed: "Good morning!" ”

For this middle-aged man who is not smiling, she always has a faint guard. But whenever she saw the majesty of his seemingly forever straight figure and the vague heroism on his raunchy face, she couldn't hate this not very friendly neighbor.

Jiang You faced Xia Qing's polite greeting, and just nodded lightly in response.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Xia Duo saw that he was about to enter the door, and hurriedly shouted.

Jiang You stopped opening the door, his expression a little dazed.

I saw Xia Duo hurriedly run into the house, and after a while, walked out with a black umbrella. She came to him, handed over the umbrella, and said heartily, "Uncle, your umbrella, thank you!" ”

Jiang You hesitated for a moment and took the umbrella. Before he could say anything, a carton of yogurt slipped into his hand again.

"Don't drink for breakfast, drink this!" Xia Duo pretended not to care, and said with a big grin.

Jiang You looked at the yogurt in his hand hesitantly, not knowing what to say for a while.

Xia Duo blinked, didn't pay attention to him anymore, walked a few steps to the staircase, and turned around and shouted at Xia Qing: "Mom, why are you stunned, you're going to be late!" ”

"Oh...... Oh. Xia Qing looked at the scene just now, and was still stunned and didn't understand what was going on with the umbrella and yogurt. was shouted by her daughter. She came to her senses, slowly bypassed Jiang You a little crampedly, and said thoughtlessly: "Thank you!" ”

Jiang You nodded again at Xia Qing, who had already passed by. Then he looked at the yogurt in his hand and was stunned for a while, then looked at the mother and daughter who disappeared at the staircase, stepped into the house, and closed the door.

Because the curtains are not opened all year round, the room is still dim. He turned on the lamp, put the plastic bag and yogurt on the table, and went straight to the bathroom.

In the living room, one of the walls against which the long table rests is densely plastered, mostly photographs and old newspaper clippings, as well as a huge map of White Harbor. There are a few lines drawn in red marker pen that indicate that there seems to be some connection between these materials, and the headline on one of the old newspaper clippings suddenly reads - "Flying Disaster, the Chairman of Huajian Group Died Unexpectedly...... Two portrait photographs are attached next to the text. One is a middle-aged man with a big back, and the beautiful woman in the other photo is the woman who appeared in Jiang You's dream - Ning Yuan.

……

On the road, there is a slight traffic jam. The morning light was a little harsh.

Xia Qing was wearing sunglasses and driving the car, and she kept talking about her daughter's study, but Xia Duo, who was sitting in the back row, was listening to the song with headphones and playing with her mobile phone in her hand, and she was not listening to her at all.

"Eh, Duoduo, can't you hear me talking? I know all day long to listen to this babbling music! Xia Qing glanced at Xia Duo from the rearview mirror, raised her voice and said dissatisfiedly.

Xia Duo took off his headphones and said impatiently: "Okay, Mom, that's all you talk about all day, don't you bother!" ”

"Eh, you kid ......" Xia Qing was choked by her daughter and had nothing to say for a while.

Since Xia Qing resolutely chose to divorce her husband two years ago, she always felt that she owed something to her daughter, so there was no need, she didn't want to speak harshly to her daughter.

"You...... Do you know the guy next door? Xia Qing remembered the scene of going out and asked.

"I don't know each other, yesterday he saw me there to hide from the rain, lent me an umbrella, and left in the rain himself." Xia Duo played with his mobile phone and replied indifferently.

"Oh, we don't know anyone well, you better stay away from him in the future." Xia Qing said thoughtfully.

"Why?" Xia Duo put down her phone and looked at her mother seriously and suspiciously: "I think others are very good?" ”

"What do you know as a child? This big man, who goes out by day and night all day long, is mysterious, who knows what he does? ”

Although it has been more than a year since they moved to Shuguang's apartment, and they have met with Jiang You many times, there is basically no communication. Xia Qing instinctively felt that there was an indescribable aura on this man's body, which made her a little faintly afraid.

"What do you do? If he is a bad guy or a pervert with bad intentions, facing such a single beauty as you, then why don't you hurry up to our house to rob money and rob you by the way. I don't think he even dares to look at you more, maybe ......"

"Stop, stop, the more you talk about it, the more unreliable it becomes! I said, where did you learn this oily tone, and you can't spit out a single ivory in your mouth all day long! Xia Qing was first overjoyed because her daughter was called a single beauty, and her face flushed slightly, but when she heard what she said later, the more wrong it became, so she quickly stopped her nonsense.

"I'm going to be able to spit out ivory all day long, and you won't have to go to work! Our mother and daughter are enough to live by selling ivory! You can also eat and drink spicy food and spicy ...... every day," Xia Duo became more and more beautiful, giggling.

"Eat, eat! You know how to eat all day long! It's like your mom and I make you hungry every day...... Ok ok! I won't be poor with you! Mom has a party tonight, and she will come back later, so you can eat by yourself. There are dumplings in the fridge and you can eat them yourself. Also, remember to turn off ...... when you run out of gas" For her daughter's sharp teeth, Xia Qing didn't know when she started, she was no longer an opponent, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, I see, I'm not a kid anymore! You drive seriously! Xia Duo said and put on his headphones again and listened to music.

Xia Qing smiled helplessly, glanced at her daughter in the rearview mirror with care, and muttered softly: "In my mother's eyes, you will always be a child." ”

……

Inside, the sun struggled to penetrate the dimly lit room through the curtains. The TV is on, and the news is scrolling in real time.

"In order to face the future, we will build the city of White Harbor into a comprehensive and modern financial and trade center in the southeast region. Luhai Group actively participates in the construction of a new district in the west of the city's old city. Based on the principle of high-starting point planning and high-standard construction, we will focus on the development of the CBD financial circle in the western district of the city and the construction of supporting resorts in the surrounding areas......" The sweet voice of the female announcer echoed in the room.

Jiang You came out of the bathroom naked, and the bath towel was put on his head indiscriminately. The perennial nocturnal and irregular life did not seem to affect his slender and toned figure. The muscles on his body are not strong, but every inch of his body seems to have been carved by a pair of invisible hands, solid and perfect, and there seems to be infinite power hidden in it.

He walked to the table, wiped his head with a bath towel with one hand, picked up a can of beer with the other, buckled the cane tab, and tilted his head to take a sip.

Hearing the voice on the TV, he frowned and watched the report about the Luhai Group for a while. Then he turned on the button of a radio instrument on the table, spun it around, and turned it to the correct frequency.

The human voice from the radio station turned out to be the real-time communication of the police radio station......

He glanced at Ning Yuan's photo on the chest of drawers, as if greeting her. Then he casually threw down the bath towel, just went naked, sat down at the table and began to eat breakfast.

The sound of the news on the television and the communication sound from the police radio from time to time kept ringing in the house, which seemed a little noisy. But Jiang You's lonely back of eating in silence seemed unusually lonely......
