A crisp suit, a dark tie, and shiny black shoes.

Standing in front of the mirror, Broken Chen looked at his outfit, although it did bring out the charm of a man, and it also had the taste of a successful person, but he felt very awkward no matter how he looked at it.

Probably because I have been accustomed to casual sportswear that is more convenient for activities, I suddenly put on formal clothes, and I was really uncomfortable for a while.

On the contrary, Yamada on the side was very satisfied and praised: "Very good, this dress suits you very well." I don't think it won't be long before the girls in our branch will be attracted to you. ”

Broken Chen pulled his tie noncommittally: "Do I have to wear formal clothes to work here?" I always feel that the activity is not very convenient. ”

"When you work in an office, you naturally have to dress more formally. You don't have to worry, these clothes are made of special materials, which have good elasticity and will not have difficulty moving. ”

"I see, Yamada is superior." Broken Chen put on his blazer, tidied it up a little, and asked, "By the way, Yamada Kami, what is my current job?" ”

Yamada thought for a moment and replied, "Although I would also like you to be involved in actual combat as soon as possible, it is simply not realistic, and even if your skills are very good, there is no guarantee that you will be able to play your normal combat power in the face of meows." Therefore, for the time being, you still follow the second class of the real household, process and analyze the information of the meow, and if it goes well, I will take you out with me to carry out the eviction work. ”

"Okay, I got it."

The two chatted all the way from the locker room to the office.

When he entered the door, Mato Xiao, who was sitting in the seat, glanced up at Broken Chen, then lowered his head and continued to flip through the information in front of him.

Breaking Chen noticed Mato's eyes and turned his head to look at her. In his impression. Although Mato Xiao is a little cold in character, he is not as cold as he is now. The look that seemed to be indifferent to everything was not disguised.

Seeing Broken Chen's doubts, Yamada on the side lowered his voice and said to him, "It wasn't like this before for the second class of Mato, but something has happened recently. It hit her a little hard. But she's a good person, and she's still relatively easy to get along with. ”

Broken Chen nodded silently, although he can't say that he has read countless people, but he has experienced a lot, and some things can be understood naturally after a little explanation.

There is a deep sadness hidden under Mato's seemingly cold face, and there is a trace of unwilling resistance in it. Broken Chen didn't know how she disguised herself so well, but Broken Chen knew that Mato Xiao was a very strong woman.

Don't cry or make trouble, just work silently. But it goes on like this. She will one day be overwhelmed by the pent-up emotions in her heart, after all, there are times when the best way is to vent her emotions.

"Third class of Broken Chen, I hope you have time to enlighten her more, after all, you are both young people, and you have the same topic."

"I will, don't worry." Broken Chen responded.

Yamada patted Broken Chen's shoulder with satisfaction and walked to his place to work.

Broken Chen came to the place next to Mato Xiao and sat down. He took out a document from the stack of materials in front of him and flipped through it carefully.

It didn't take a while. The voice of the real household rang in his ears.

"You can't do that, it's a lot of work to analyze the data, and you have to write down the information you find in order to extract something useful."

Hearing this, Duan Chen smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, but I believe in my memory, and I can remember it after reading it." "It's not like Broken Chen is talking big. His excellent brain power has long given him the ability to memorize, and although there is a lot of information, it is far from the extent that it makes him struggle.

Mato looked at him silently, didn't say anything more, and went on with his work.

The minutes just passed. There was no sound in the office except for the sound of paper churning, and it was unusually dull.

Broken Chen didn't feel bored, anyway, he himself preferred to be quiet, let alone Matoko.

Yamada, who was sitting not far away, sighed helplessly when he saw them like this.

Soon, it got dark and it was time to get off work.

Yamada got up from his seat, picked up his trench coat, and said, "That's all for today, let's all go have a meal together, just to celebrate the founding of our team." ”

Broken Chen did not refuse, before receiving his salary, he could only eat in the branch canteen, and had the opportunity to go out to fight tooth sacrifices, which was naturally best for Broken Chen, who had the attributes of a small snack.

On the contrary, Mato Xiao didn't want to go: "I'm sorry, Yamada, I still have some information that hasn't been processed, you just go." ”

Hearing this, Yamada glanced at Broken Chen. The latter was a little helpless, but still said: "Although it is said that hard work is a good habit, we must also know how to combine work and rest, and go together." ”

Mato Xiao raised his head, looked at Broken Chen's face and was silent for a few seconds, then put down the information in his hand and stood up, obviously acquiescing.

Seeing this, Yamada stretched out his elbow and pushed it against Ding Xuanchen, with an expression on his face as if he was saying, 'Boy, there is you'.

Ignoring Yamada's old unrepair, Broken Chen walked out of the office first. Yamada and Mato picked up their respective Kuinke boxes and followed.

As a kind of searcher, even after work, they will carry their own kuinke with them, so they also have a nickname, called the Suitcaser. This is actually to ensure their own safety, because as a white pigeon, they are often attacked by meows who come to retaliate, so you can do this just in case.

The three of them left the branch building together, went to a small shop with Japanese characteristics, ordered food and sat down. Yamada asked for two bottles of sake, and took the initiative to pour them for Broken Chen and Mato.

"Here, let's celebrate the official formation of the squad, cheers!"

Yamada's words didn't play a role in enlivening the atmosphere, and Broken Chen was just a coping toast, and so was Mato.

The three of them just had a tasteless dinner, and the so-called first dinner ended hastily.

"I'll go first, the third class of Xuanchen, you send the second class of the real family back, be careful on the road." After Yamada finished speaking, he gestured to Broken Chen, turned around and left. His apartment is in the 13th arrondissement. So you don't have to go to the dormitory of the branch.

And Matoko's home is in District 1, so it will be troublesome to go back, so I live in the dormitory of the branch for the time being. Broken Chen doesn't have an apartment, and it's the same.

Walking on the road, Broken Chen glanced at Zhenhu Xiao, who didn't say a word beside him, and thought about it. He said, "Second class Mato, what about the beauty that was with you before?" ”

Matoxiao's originally indifferent face suddenly changed, but it quickly returned to its original state, and said in a low voice: "She died in the line of duty." Although her tone was calm, it was clear from her clenched fists that she must be sad inside.

Broken Chen had already guessed that this was the result, and he asked this on purpose. Regarding Meili's death, Broken Chen only sighed slightly, life is sometimes so fragile. Even if he had saved her once. But in the end, he couldn't escape the fate of death.

"It's a pity, I still want to thank her in person, but it's a pity that I don't have this opportunity." Broken Chen said as he observed Mato's reaction. The latter, however, kept her head down, hiding her face in the shadows so that people could not see her expression.

"What are you trying to convey by this?" Matoko's voice couldn't tell what emotion it was, "If it's to comfort me, you don't have to." ”

"Comfort?" Broken shrugged his shoulders. "I don't have that intention, and some people don't need comfort. At least you don't need it for now. ”

Mato looked at Broken Chen in surprise, not knowing what he meant by this.

Broken Chen looked up at the night sky: "I'm just trying to make you recognize the reality, don't always dwell on the sadness of the past, because that would be useless." It is a fact that a person dies and dies. ”

Mato Xiao suddenly grabbed Broken Chen's collar and yelled, "What do you know?!" What does it mean to be dead to be dead?! Miri, she's my best friend! But she'll never show up again! I'll never see her again! ”

Broken Chen calmly looked at the tears rolling in Mato's eyes. Gently pulled her hand down: "Yes, she is dead and will never appear again, so what's the use of you doing this?" Will she come back to life? ”

"What do I know, you ask? Of course I know, there was a time when I also passed away because of a loved one. I have lived in the shadows of the past for a long time, and if it weren't for an accident, I would probably have been like that until I died. Broken Chen paused here and changed his tone: "But I woke up and tried to make my life better, which is worthy of those who died, isn't it?" ”

Speaking of this, Broken Chen smiled self-deprecatingly: "Seriously, everyone understands these truths, it's pure nonsense, I don't bother to say it." But there are few that can really be done, and the key is whether you have the determination to let go of the things that have been bothering you and look forward. ”

Mato looked at him stunned, his eyes changed again and again, and finally calmed down.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Why?" Broken Chen thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "It's better to repay the favor, after all, you have helped me before." And you have the shadow of me in you, so I can't help but sigh. ”

Mato was silent, the tears on his face still obvious.

Broken Chen didn't say anything more, turned around and walked forward. Saying that to Mato Xiao, it's not that Broken Chen is kind, just like he said, it's just that he saw his former shadow in Matoxiao, so he couldn't help but want to remind him.

If the other party is really the kind of mud that can't support the wall, he doesn't bother to care.

After taking less than two steps, Broken Chen found that his clothes were being pulled, and before he could turn around, he felt something leaning against his back.

"I'm sorry to borrow your shoulder and use it."

Feeling the constantly trembling body of the woman behind him, Broken Chen didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little chaotic.

Perhaps when a woman really shows her vulnerable side, it is the easiest for a man to want to protect. At this moment, Broken Chen thought of Chu Yuwei, thought of Xin'er, and also remembered Xin'er's sad eyes at the moment before entering the world of reincarnation

Under the street lamp, a man and a woman are close together, thinking about different people and things
