On the night of the winter solstice, Yan Yunkai wrapped all the dumplings with the stuffing and dumpling wrappers brought from home, and there was still a lot left after eating supper, so he put them in the refrigerator in a crisper box and prepared them for breakfast the next day.

Zhao Thief stood in front of the kitchen table to wash dishes, he didn't go out all day, and he was still wearing loose pajamas, the sleeves were loosely pulled up to his elbows, revealing a strong and powerful arm. The faucet was dripping, he washed the dishes, squeezed a little dish soap in the palm of his hand very carelessly, rubbed out the foam, rinsed it under the water flow, turned on the switch, and his wet hands became dry and warm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's a bit of a pain in the hand with dish soap." Yan Yunkai reminded him several times to no avail.

Zhao is obviously a troublesome person, he doesn't like to wear rubber gloves when washing dishes, and he doesn't bother to go to the bathroom to use hand sanitizer.

"It's time to go to work tomorrow, and I'm going to buy you a thicker set of clothes?" Yan Yunkai said.

Zhao Thief said: "I'm not cold. ”

"You look good in a trench coat in winter." Yan Yunkai said, packed up his things and went to take a shower, and decided very decisively, "Then it's decided." ”

Zhao Theft: "......"

The next day, Yan Yunkai wore a tie in front of the mirror, and Zhao Thief stood next to him brushing his teeth.

The space in the bathroom is not too much, Yan Yunkai is next to the sink, leaning forward slightly to arrange the tied Windsor knot, his movements are calm and elegant. Zhao Thief stood a little behind him, holding the toothbrush expressionlessly, with foam in his mouth, the fresh smell of mint in his mouth, but under the tip of his nose, he smelled the male fragrance on Yan Yunkai's body.

Yan Yunkai straightened up, his eyes moved slightly, and Zhao Thief happened to be looking at him indifferently in the mirror. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got out of the way, and when he saw the other party holding a toothbrush, he felt a little funny, and hurriedly said: "Give the place to you, you can wash it." ”

Zhao spat out a mouthful of foam indifferently.

After everything was cleaned up, Yan Yunkai took the fresh-keeping box and drove to the unit. Zhao sat in the passenger seat, looking sideways out the window.

"Do you want to learn to drive?" In silence, Yan Yunkai turned on the car stereo. Yesterday he didn't use the stereo, but as soon as he turned it on today, his eyelids jumped. What is played in the stereo is not the piano music that you usually listen to, but it is actually a classic cross talk.

Zhao turned his head and glanced at him: "Learn." ”

"Okay, I'll get you a driving school another day." Yan Yun turned off the stereo, thinking that Wang Di was secretly driving his car again, it was just itchy.

In order to prevent Zhao from leaving the organization, his ID card has always been a temporary ID card, which needs to be replaced every three months. However, the temporary ID card is completely sufficient, and he is currently content with the status quo, calmly accepting the surveillance of the nine places. Yan Yunkai sometimes jokingly claimed to be his "guardian", and he admitted it without changing his face.

When winter comes, there are fewer people who can go to work on time. Some people directly choose to live in the unit, and some take a long vacation, such as a snake demon in Group 6, who took leave to hibernate.

When Yan Yunkai and Zhao arrived at the machine, there was only Wang Zhi on the second floor. The child stays up late playing games, indulging in the fight and kill on the Internet, and his attention is still on the computer screen when the office door is unscrewed.

Wang Di's office has only half of the office area, and the other half is directly renovated into a bedroom, and after being dead for so many years, his middle two still haven't passed, and he has made a big coffin as a bed, which is placed in the corner in the dark.

After a game, Wang Ju glanced up at the visitor, quickly exited the arena, and pounced: "Yan Yunkai, you are finally here, I haven't eaten for two days!" So hungry, so hungry, so hungry! ”

"You actually played the game for two days...... Yan Yunkai grabbed his collar and began to count him, "Do you know what harm addiction to online games will cause to teenagers?" Yes? Do you want me to tell you? If you don't eat yet, do you want to grow taller? It's not big, but it's quite bold, you tell me honestly, did you secretly drive my car? Do you know what trouble you will get if you are caught by the traffic police? ”

Wang Ju's eyes were sloppy and he pretended to be stupid.

"I see you're itchy and want to be beaten!" Yan Yun played the child's brain, "It's okay to play online games, remember to eat food." The next time you dare to drive, I'll send you to elementary school. ”

"It smells so good!" Wang Tailor sniffed the air, turned his head along the scent, and saw Zhao Thief standing by the door, holding a large crisper in his hand, "Uncle Zhao, I want to eat!" ”

Zhao walked in, put the crisper on the table, and just took it out of the microwave, it was hot.

Wang Ju stretched out his hand to take it, but was gently patted away by Yan Yunkai: "Eat after washing your hands." ”

“…… Oh. Wang Di obediently went to wash his hands, walked to the door, turned his head and secretly made a grimace at Yan Yunkai, raised his eyes to meet Zhao Thief's indifferent and calm eyes, somehow, suddenly felt like he was being grabbed by Yan Yunkai himself, and quickly slipped away.

The two of them were about to leave after ordering a little, and Wang Zhi had to follow, as long as he brought a small oil bottle to the mall.

Most of the people in the mall are monogamous with children, and a combination like them is rare. Yan Yunkai bought two sweaters for Zhao Theft, and bought two coats and pants, using his own credit card, and the card cost a lot of money. He has several bank cards, and he won't use the salary card given to him by Zhao Theft on weekdays, and he is not bad for money anyway, so he doesn't need to think about spending this money at all.

After buying the adults' clothes, the three of them went to the children's clothing store again and bought several clothes for Wang Jie. Yan Yunkai felt that the feeling of someone carrying a bag behind him when shopping was too refreshing, and it was happier than someone paying.

"Yan Yunkai, I want to eat the Golden Arches." Wang Tailor tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Yan Yunkai said casually: "Are you going to betray Kaifeng Cai?" ”

Wang Ju thought seriously for a moment and replied: "I just turned over the sign of the Golden Arches today, and as for KFC, I will be lucky next time." ”

"Okay, little brother." Yan Yunkai said.

……

After a day of strolling outside, Yan Yunkai sent Wang Zhu back to the unit, and then resumed the frequency of going to the unit every three or five times.

A week later, Yan Qiang was going back to the army station in the northeast, Yan Yunkai and her family sent her to the airport, knowing that she would not be able to see this sister-in-law for a long time, for fear that she would run out of food, so she bought a lot of things and asked her to take them.

Yan Yunkai had nothing else to give, so he stuffed her with a peace charm and asked her to carry it closely.

"Why don't you give me this, my father already gave me one before I went out." Yan Qiang said.

"Grandpa's talisman is definitely better than mine, you can carry it with you, anyway, it's just two pieces of paper, and it doesn't take up space."

Yan Qiang accepted it, hugged her family one by one, and blended into the crowd queuing at the airport in a straight military uniform.

Yan Yunkai drove his parents home, and took a detour to pick up Zhao's theft.

A few days ago, he reported a driving school to Zhao Thief, and specially stuffed a red envelope to the coach, telling the coach not to scold people, otherwise it would be unreasonable for Zhao Thief to beat people.

Fortunately, the coach looked at Zhao Theft's tall appearance, and was still very polite to this student. In addition, Zhao Theft Machine can see and hear all directions, and the driving skills are very fast, and everything is currently going very smoothly.

Yan Yunkai originally wanted to send him to the military region to learn more skills, but after thinking about it, this guy may not necessarily be his colleague in the future, and it doesn't seem to be good for him to learn too well, so he let go of this idea.

December is also coming to an end, and 2019 is just around the corner.

On New Year's Eve, Yan Yunkai was drinking tea in the corner of the sofa, with a laptop on the coffee table, a multi-person video window open on the screen, and colleagues chatting.

"Geographically, Tibet belongs to the Sixth Eastern Region, and there is a time difference of about two hours between Tibet and Beijing. Although it is also according to the time of the East Eighth District, the schedule is different from yours. Gesang Langjie's Mandarin still has the peculiar accent of Lhasa and Chengdu Shuangpin, the light on his side is very dim, and there is the light of torches on both sides, and after a while, it gradually brightens up, "Team leader, I'm here." On video, do you want to say a word to everyone? ”

Xie Zhi said, "Yo? Dawa Dunzhu is also there? Long time no see. ”

Gesang's video window moved, and a bald man in a red robe appeared, with an honest face, his hands folded and saluted, "Long time no see, friends." ”

Liu Zhenyan touched the same bald head and greeted: "Hey, Venerable, everything is okay?" ”

Dawa Dunzhu smiled: "Thanks to you, everything is fine." ”

A blank window in the bottom corner also came out of a woman covered in silver ornaments, it was the leader of the three groups, Miao Nuyang Jinliu. "Why are you all gossiping, Yan Yunkai, You You, let me see the handsome guy." She was disgruntled.

Yan Yunkai tilted his body, fell down with his elbows propped up on the sofa, let the camera shine on his face, and waved his hand with a gentle smile: "Hi, beauty." ”

Zhao came out of the bathroom, wiped his hair with a towel, and walked past the living room to the balcony with a clothes basket in one hand.

"Eh, the newly bought laundry detergent is next to the flower pot, and the previous bottle seems to have run out." Yan Yunkai suddenly raised his head and said to him.

Zhao Thief bowed, indicating that he knew, glanced at Yan Yunkai, paused, and said lightly: "Collar." ”

"Huh?" Yan Yunkai lowered his head consciously, he only wore a loose sweater today, with a large collar, and with the movement of lying on his side just now, half of his shoulders were exposed. He sat up, straightened his neckline, leaned over to adjust the angle of the camera, and said calmly, "Thanks for the reminder." ”

Zhao opened the balcony door and began to operate the washing machine proficiently.

"What's the situation?" Yang Jinliu asked, "Who is in Yan Yunkai's family?" ”

"A new colleague." Yan Yunkai briefly brought this question.

You You suddenly popped up: "Ahhhh ”

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"

A new year is coming.

“…… Six, five, four......"

Yan Yunkai's fingers tapped rhythmically on his knees.

"Three, two, one! Happy New Year! ”

"Happy New Year, Beijing doesn't allow fireworks, it's so quiet here."

"We're playing like this, wait for me to go out and broadcast it to you!"

Yan Yunkai stood up and opened the door of the balcony, Zhao had just finished setting up the washing machine and turned his head to look at him.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Zhao."

The drum of the washing machine began to turn, making a slight noise. Zhao replied: "Tongle." ”

It was really quiet this night, only the colleagues in the computer were still talking about the world, Yan Yunkai said this, went into the house satisfied, said good night to his colleagues, turned off the computer and went to sleep.

At the beginning of 2019, Yan Yunkai received a not-so-good news.

Before the New Year's Day holiday was enough, his father Yan Qing called. Usually, his mother calls him, and his father only contacts him when he has something to do. This morning, Yan Yunkai was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone in a daze, and when he saw the caller ID, he was a little sober, cleared his throat, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

"Your aunt is missing." Father said in a deep voice.

Yan Yunkai was completely sober now, settled down, and said calmly: "My sister-in-law couldn't find anyone when she went on a mission, maybe she went on some secret mission." ”

"I haven't been in touch since the day before yesterday, and your grandfather sensed that the amulet he gave was invalid." Yan Qing said, "Let's see if you have any channels......

The subgroups of the Ninth Division are related to the military region, and they actually have close contacts with the troops in terms of work, but the Sixth Group does not care about the specific affairs of the units in the locality, and Yan Yunkai does not have many contacts in this regard. Yan Yunkai pressed his eyebrows and said with relief: "You and grandpa don't worry, I'll ask first." ”

He reassured a few words, hung up the phone, and dialed Zhong Yihu instead.

"Brother Zhong, it's me. There are some things I want to trouble you. Yan Yun opened the door and got up to change his clothes, "Are you familiar with the people in the army in the Northeast?" ”

"It's cooked, what's wrong?" Zhong Yihu asked.

Yan Yunkai said: "That's the case......" He explained the matter in a few words, and said, "I know that the affairs of the military may involve secrets, so I don't ask anything else, I just want to know if my aunt Yan Qiang is safe." ”

In fact, Yan Qiang has been in the army for some years, and she has always been the most powerful female soldier in the army, and she is not inferior to male soldiers. She is very strong, she doesn't like her family to be too nervous about her whereabouts, and her family has respected her very much over the years, and will not ask her to lead because she can't be contacted.

Yan Yunkai felt that after doing this, Yan Qiang might be unhappy, but presumably the sister-in-law could also understand the feelings of the family, so he still did what his father wanted.

Zhong Yihu let out a "hmm" and said briskly: "Then I'll ask you." ”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhong." Yan Yunkai breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

In the afternoon, the unit building is on the third floor.

Zhong Yihu was reading a fax, frowned, and handed the fax to Yan Yunkai.

"It's from the company where your aunt is here, requesting support from the 328 office. It is said that the first team went to the mountains to carry out a mission, encountered an unknown attack, and lost contact. The second team sent out sent back the news that there was a monster and had lost contact. Only a little information has been obtained so far, and it is not yet possible to analyze what they encountered. ”

Yan Yunkai looked at the past with a look of worry.

"I've already sent someone to investigate the situation first, and I'll leave for the northeast tonight." Zhong Yihu said.

Although the army is a state violence agency, it has a specialization in the art industry, and if there are really monsters, professional things still need to be done by professional people. Zhong Yihu naturally wants to take command.

Yan Yunkai thought for a moment and said, "I'll go too." ”

"You're still worried about my errands?" Zhong Yihu said.

Yan Yunkai smiled bitterly: "Instead of worrying at home, it's better to go and see with you." ”
