At the end of January, a snowfall fell in Beijing, and it became colder and colder.

Wang Xi has been tracking down the boy who is suspected of being Zhao Thief's younger brother these days, but he has not gotten any useful clues, and the boy seems to have evaporated from the world, leaving no trace.

He was a little depressed, but on second thought, did this also mean that the teenager was not active in society often? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to find out his whereabouts in even nine places.

Wang Ju told Zhao the current progress of the investigation, and Zhao only nodded and said that he knew, and he was not in a hurry.

"Why are you still so calm, speaking of which, you are all dragons flying out of the painting wall, why do you still recognize your brother?" Wang Ji wondered.

Zhao Piji said: "Although there is no blood relationship, some of our souls come from the same dragon. ”

It's useless to be anxious, not to mention that Zhao Thief thinks that Zhang Seng Miao will come to him sooner or later, so he waits with peace of mind.

Zhou Yi's grandfather, Zhou Wenzheng's ninetieth birthday has arrived, and the Zhou family has chartered a banquet hall in a certain hotel. Mr. Zhou was the first director of the Ninth Division, and after retirement, he became a consultant, and it wasn't until a few years ago that his health couldn't keep up, so he didn't ask about the Ninth Division at all.

Many juniors in the unit have been guided by him and have a good impression of him.

Liu Zhenyan couldn't take the time to go to the banquet, in fact, many colleagues were inconvenient to show up because of their identities, so they asked Yan Yunkai to prepare a gift for the whole unit.

At Yan Yunkai's home, Wang Shu was lying on the sofa, and sighed with mixed feelings: "When I first joined the company, Zhou was only a middle-aged and elderly person, but I didn't expect to be ninety in a blink of an eye!" ”

Yan Yunkai smiled faintly and said, "Mortals are not like this, maybe when you blink your eyes again, even I will be a hundred years old." ”

He has an ordinary look, calm speech, and no taboos when talking about life and death.

Wang Di has already died once, and his appearance and mind are stuck at the moment of death, unable to understand what aging is like.

Whether human beings accept it or fear it, time never stops for anyone.

Wang Ju said seriously: "Don't worry, if you don't have children, I will provide for you in the future." ”

Hearing this, Yan Yunkai couldn't help laughing, pinched Wang Di's little face, and went out to the banquet in a good mood.

In the hotel hall, Yan Chongshan and Chu Jun came to the banquet together, and Yan Yunkai met the elders and immediately greeted them. Chu Yangming stood next to Chu Jun, looking like he was chatting in every way, and when he saw Yan Yunkai coming, he barely cheered up.

"Grandpa brought me to recognize people, alas, I don't want to mix in this circle." Chu Yangming whispered, "Open up, didn't you say that I'll mess with you......

Yan Yunkai said: "If you want to mix with me, you must understand this circle. Every warlock in the capital, every strength, you have to know. Grandpa Zhou's birthday banquet will inevitably come to a lot of warlocks from all walks of life, whether you know each other. ”

Chu Yangming sighed.

In the banquet hall, Zhou Yi was busy entertaining guests, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly led the two old men to the upper seats. Yan Yunkai is a junior, he didn't sit at the first table, waved his hand and asked him to entertain others, and he went to the corner of the hall to find a place.

You You was late, and the three of them met and chatted together. The main thing is to introduce Chu Yangming to those famous warlocks at the banquet.

"See that, bald, the Mediterranean one." You You said, "That is the Taoist chief of Baiyun Temple, in charge of the secular affairs of the temple, this can be acquainted, and sometimes it can be used." The Mao Cun over there, who wears glasses, has no door and no faction, but he has a lot of attainments in the magic circle. ”

You You has a wide range of contacts in the capital, and Yan Yunkai knows most of the high-ranking officials in the system because of his work, but You You has people who know him in the three religions and nine streams.

Chu Yangming asked, "What about that girl?" ”

"Girl?" You look around.

"That girl is a recent newcomer, and I've heard that she draws talismans well. She is a member of the side branch of the Zhou family. Zhou Yi walked over and rubbed his face, "Alas, after laughing for a long time, my face is going to stiffen." ”

"Are you lazy?" You You glanced at him.

Zhou Yi nodded: "It's lazy to steal for a while." ”

Zhou Yi glanced at his team leader and said, "Brother Yan, my grandfather heard about your disappearance in the northeast mountains before. ”

Yan Yun laughed: "Thank you Grandpa Zhou for your concern for me." ”

"Because after you disappeared, I had to take care of his old man's family, so I didn't participate in the rescue, my grandfather didn't want to go, and asked a few more words." Zhou Yi said, "He asked when you found such a loyal object......

"Poof-" Yan Yunkai, You You, and Chu Yangming all squirted out a sip of wine, but the former was startled, and the latter two laughed.

Yan Yunkai asked, "What did you say?" ”

"When did Brother Zhao become your object?" Zhou Yi was at a loss, but still replied, "I didn't say anything, just said that you received a monster before." didn't talk about it specifically, well, Brother Zhao shouldn't like to be talked about. ”

Yan Yun opened his head: "Very good." ”

"But you asked me to ask about the dragon of the Republic of China a few months ago, and you also know that the old man is more sensitive to this kind of thing, and he will be suspicious of it after coming and going." Zhao Pirate Machine reverted to its original body, and several colleagues close to the unit knew about it, Zhou Yi said, "I don't know if I can say anything about it, after all, my grandfather has retired." ”

"You didn't say that, did you?"

"No, but he didn't doubt Brother Zhao's identity. The meaning of the words seems to be that in the case of Nightmare, the dragon of the Republic of China is suspected of committing a crime. Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment, "Alas, the older generation doesn't seem to have a good impression of the dragon that appeared in the Republic of China." ”

Yan Yunkai pursed his lips and ordered: "In the future, any details of the unit's case will be kept confidential." The predecessors may have a preconceived impression of the incident in the Republic of China, so let's check it out for ourselves, so as not to be emotionally misled. ”

Zhou Yi: "Okay. ”

Yan Yunkai smiled slightly, a little helpless. Zhao was reluctant to mention the past, and he was just confused now.

At the banquet, You You knew a lot of people, and when he met him, he touched a cup, and then he drank directly, and Yan Yunkai and Chu Yangming blocked a lot for him.

After the dinner, Yan Yun took a taxi to send the elders home, and stood at the door of the hotel with a blank face blowing the night breeze. Leaning over and sitting in the car, the lights in the car were not turned on, and when I looked sideways, the lights of the high-rise buildings along the street were shining, and pedestrians were constantly coming and going. Somehow, he suddenly had a feeling of looking down on this bustling city with cold eyes, the stars in the sky were obscured by the city lights, but the boundless universe appeared in his mind for no reason, and the Taiji diagram slowly rotated, which was a mystery that all beings could not peep into.

The driver honked his horn and pulled his thoughts from the world back to the world.

Yan Yunkai rubbed his eyebrows and looked out the window tiredly.

It was late at night when he got home, and a small warm yellow light was on in the hallway, so he put down the key and changed his shoes to go in. Wang Xi stayed overnight today, and the study was occupied by Zhao Theft, so the child had to curl up on the sofa and sleep soundly.

He tiptoed into the kitchen and poured a glass of water to avoid making a sound, but he accidentally knocked the glass onto the granite countertop of the countertop, making a crisp sound. Fortunately, Wang Ju slept to death and was not woken up.

Yan Yunkai raised his head and drank a glass of water, put down the cup, just turned around, and leaned back sharply.

"When did you come out, it scared me to death." Yan Yunkai sneered.

Zhao Thief woke up the moment he took out the key to open the door, it was rare to see this person frightened, the old god looked at him on the ground, and said, "What did you do wrong?" ”

"What can I do wrong?" Yan Yunkai asked rhetorically, as he spoke, glancing at Zhao Thief and evoking a smile, "...... However, I would like to do something unfortunate. ”

Although the kitchen did not turn on the light, Zhao Theft's night vision ability was not comparable to that of mortals, and he lowered his eyes and saw Yan Yunkai.

I drank a little too much tonight, Yan Yunkai had a heavy head, and he could smell the faint smell of wine in his mouth when he breathed. He drank a lot of wine, not drunk at this time, but his cheeks were dyed with a layer of red, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he was not dignified enough with a smile, and he lost his usual elite appearance of a serious suit and leather shoes.

"Tell me about it." Zhao said.

Yan Yunkai raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were frivolous, and he said something silently.

Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Go back and learn English, and be a good young man in the new era." Yan Yunkai squinted happily, raised his hand and patted Zhao Thief's arm, "Let's let me, don't block the door." ”

Zhao stood still, staring at him.

As the saying goes, wine is bold and courageous, but Yan Yunkai doesn't think he's a "coward", he's just rational. Even after drinking, he was still calm-headed, and always remembered the difference in force between himself and Zhao Thief, so he didn't dare to come nonsense.

"Again, in Chinese." Zhao said slowly.

Yan Yunkai smiled low and opened the topic: "Hey, am I drinking too much or are you drinking too much?" How are you a little strange today. ”

"You've drunk too much."

"Uh-huh, I've drunk too much, don't you bother with a drunk." Yan Yunkai said, stretched out a hand against the strong chest of the person in front of him, and pushed it hard.

Zhao was like a boulder, motionless.

Yan Yunkai didn't know what he was doing suddenly, so he simply got up as a scoundrel, touched his chest all the time, and touched his abdominal muscles down the texture, which felt quite good, and lingered for a while.

Zhao Thief looked at him calmly, but his heart was not very calm.

Since Chu Yangming returned to China some time ago, Yan Yunkai went out with him every other day, and he was not at home for three days, Zhao Thief had a subtle change in his heart.

Since he came down the mountain, he has eaten and lived with Yan Yunkai for more than half a year, and unconsciously, he has included the other party in his belongings. The dragon clan was born with the habit of collecting treasures, and for Zhao Thief, Yan Yunkai was the first treasure he collected.

For thousands of years, Zhao Pirate has been evading Zhang Sengjiao's tracking, walking and stopping, and has never had nostalgia for a place, nor does he want to entangle with anyone.

Yan Yunkai was obviously different from the people he had ever met.

But what is the difference, Zhao Thief can't say, even he has to admit that he is a little slow in perceiving emotions.

"Comrade Zhao Theft." Yan Yunkai said lazily, "If you don't go away, I'll be a hooligan." ”

"Hmm." He was unmoved.

Yan Yunkai couldn't guess his thoughts, and after the stalemate, he was also a little annoyed, and lowered his voice and scolded: "You are insane, what are you thinking?" ”

Zhao Piaoji said calmly: "You." ”

Yan Yunkai: "......"

Yan Yunkai looked unpredictable, and after a while, he smiled, the smile was a bit like self-deprecation, and it was also a little ambiguous, "You can't talk nonsense...... Never mind. Hey, do you think I'm drunk? ”

"Are you drunk?" Zhao looked at him calmly.

"I'm drunk." Yan Yunkai affirmed.

The two glanced at each other, Yan Yunkai raised his head, leaned forward, and shook his feet slightly. The smell of wine breathed in Zhao Thief's ear, and he whispered, "Then I'll repeat what I said before, you listen." ”

He stepped back a little, tilting his head, his eyelashes as black and thick as crow's wings, obscuring the sparkle in the phoenix's eyes. He slowly approached Zhao Thief, his lips were about to fall on his lips, so close, he noticed Zhao Thief's stable breath that was not chaotic at all, and he suddenly stopped.

“…… Forget it, I don't want to talk about it again. Yan Yunkai felt bored for a moment, took a step back, and rubbed his neck lazily, "Deaf people can't hear." ”

He pushed Zhao Thief again, and this time, Zhao Thief did not stop again.
