don't sacrifice

And on this snowy New Year's Eve, on another street in Beihai City, Kan Zhen and Zhou Qichen also wandered aimlessly on the street.

"I'm so sorry..." Zhou Qichen took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Kan Zhen, and lit one himself.A gorgeous firework bloomed above his head and then disappeared, "I really didn't expect her to come back and say such things. You were kicked out by my dad along with me."

Kan Zhen took the cigarette and lit it herself.Putting it near his mouth and taking a deep breath, the smoke was expelled from his nose and mouth, "Your father is really too merciless, he drove his son out during the Chinese New Year."

Zhou Qichen lowered his head, chuckled twice, "I'm the one who disappointed him so much."

"I don't blame you." Kan Zhen said, reaching out and patted his shoulder, "However, where are we going tonight, rent a hotel?"

"Yeah." Zhou Qichen nodded, took out his wallet from his pocket to check whether he had his ID card, "I remember there is a hotel over there, and it should be open today, so I can only wrong you."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Kanzhen smiled at him, "Actually, I was worried at first, if I slept in your house, would your parents insist on letting us live in the same room?"

Zhou Qichen also smiled, raised his head, and looked at the fireworks that bloomed and then fell in the air. "It's so beautiful." He said with emotion, "It's only when I see them that I realize it's Chinese New Year."

"I'm usually too busy, I don't even know that this year has passed by like this." Kan Zhen also stopped and looked up at the sky, "It should be almost twelve o'clock."

"Yeah." Zhou Qichen looked at his watch, the hour and minute hands had already converged at the top, and the second hand was also ticking to coincide, "Five, four, three, two..."

"one."

A huge firework is blooming above the city, and people's cheers can be faintly heard in the distance.

"Happy New Year, Kan forensic."

Zhou Qichen turned his face sideways, and the colorful fireworks were reflected on his face.

"Happy New Year, Officer Zhou."

Kan Zhen also looked sideways at him, her eyes full of brows, and she became more vivid in the light.

"It's [-] now." She raised her head and looked at the snowflakes all over the sky, and she seemed to suddenly become very happy. "Everything just now has left with the new year. All the sorrows and joys before It's a thing of the past..."

Looking at her current appearance, she completely lost her usual calmness, as if she was a child.But she suddenly turned her head again, looked into Zhou Qichen's eyes, and asked, "Shall we play a game?"

"Playing games?" Zhou Qichen was confused by her, what kind of games could he play on the street in the middle of the night?

Kan Zhen took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and then took out Zhou Qichen's mobile phone from his pocket.Immediately afterwards, they exchanged the mobile phones of the two, and handed them to Zhou Qichen with a smile.

"I know, you must have a number that you know very well, but you have never dialed." Her eyes were bright, as if waiting for Zhou Qichen's affirmative answer, "Is that right?"

"Yes." Zhou Qichen took her mobile phone and replied truthfully.

"Then call now." Kan Zhen swiped his phone open, opened the dial page, held it in his hand and shook it at him, "I, like you, have a number that I have been unable to dial in [-]." Dialing out, some words have not been said to that person... It's just that now, it's the new year, and the worries and worries of the past are all gone! Let's fight together now, compare, who You can speak out what's in your heart!"

"This..." Zhou Qichen hesitated, but Kanzhen seemed very interested.She saw that he still had some concerns, so she deliberately stimulated him and said, "Why, don't you dare?"

"It's not that I dare not..."

Before he finished speaking, Kan Zhen interrupted him, "Then fight, don't be cowardly, Boss Zhou!"

After she finished speaking, she turned her back first, bit her slightly trembling lips, and fluently dialed the number she knew so well in one breath.Then he took a deep breath and brought the phone to his ear...

"Hey?"

Zhou Qichen heard that the phone call she made seemed to be connected, and there was something complicated in her tone, with joyful surprise and a little bewilderment.

"...It's okay, how are you doing..."

She slowly distanced herself from Zhou Qichen, her tone seemed calm, but it was still difficult to restrain her faint excitement.

I have heard for a long time that forensic doctor Kan is also a woman with a story, and it is true.Zhou Qichen looked at her back and thought secretly.

Lowering his head again, looking at Kan Zhen's cell phone in his hand, he suddenly felt a surge of impulse.

Just take it as a gamble.He gritted his teeth and pressed out the string of numbers that he knew by heart.

"beep…"

He hesitated to put the phone to his ear, only listening to the sound of the regular radio waves inside.In case Xiaobai answered the phone, what would he say to him? "Happy New Year" is too simple to express his heart at this moment; "I miss you" is too nasty to say... Then what should I say on this inexplicable phone call?

"beep…"

Zhou Qichen swallowed nervously, with a stronger desire in his heart to get through the phone soon.

"Hey?"

The moment the phone was connected, Zhou Qichen's heart seemed to miss a beat.The familiar voice echoed in my mind again, but it felt like a world away.

"Hey, who is it?"

It's just that Xiaobai's voice sounded a little tired, as if he had no strength.

"...Xiaobai, it's me, I'm Zhou Qichen!" Zhou Qichen couldn't bear it any longer, and almost yelled out the words, "Where are you now, can I go to you? Maybe I can tell you what happened before." You are the best explanation, I can't forget you, and I hope you don't forget me..."

However, the sound on the other end of the phone seemed to be off.He took the phone away and found that the call had been disconnected long ago.

Why... There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. Is it because you don't want to listen to my explanation, or do you not want to answer my phone at all?

Kan Zhen on the side also turned off the phone, with a not hard to detect smile on his face.She leaned over to Zhou Qichen's side and asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Zhou Qichen smiled embarrassingly, "He hung up."

Kan Zhen frowned slightly, and said in relief, "Maybe...the phone is out of battery, don't think too much about it."

Seeing that Zhou Qichen still looked disappointed, she suddenly felt a little sorry for him, "I'm sorry, it's my sudden whim, I only think about myself..."

"It's okay." Zhou Qichen didn't want her to feel guilty, so he raised his head and said with a smile, "Maybe, the battery really ran out..."

"Okay, don't think about it so much." He pointed to a small door at the lower corner of the street ahead, "That's the hotel, go to sleep first, and go back to Beijing tomorrow."

"Yeah." Kan Zhen nodded.The two quickly walked side by side to the hotel.

There was a small dim lamp in the small hotel, and an uncle in his 50s was watching the Spring Festival Gala behind the counter, but the show had already come to an end.

"Oh, isn't this little Ah Chen?" Seeing that it was him, the uncle was surprised, and hurriedly stood up from behind the counter.

"Uncle Su." Zhou Qichen responded kindly.

"Who is this, girlfriend?" Uncle Su found Kan Zhen behind him, and asked while looking at him.

"Ah...my colleague." Zhou Qichen turned around and introduced to Kanzhen, "Uncle Su is my old neighbor, and he liked to tease me the most when he was young."

"Hahaha." Uncle Su not only laughed after hearing this, "How many years have passed, you are so old, my Xiao Zhan has also gone to college, and your parents and I are old..."

"Eh, that's not right..." Uncle Su suddenly changed his tone, "It's Chinese New Year, why don't you go to your parents' place?"

"This..." Zhou Qichen showed embarrassment, Uncle Su looked at the two of them, nodded, and understood, "The child is getting older, you still have to think about your parents, your parents are not easy."

"I know, it's nothing serious." Zhou Qichen interrupted him, took out his ID card from his bag, "Two rooms!"

After completing the registration in the notebook, Uncle Su returned the ID card to Zhou Qichen.Reach out and point to the corridor on the right, "Turn right to the second and third rooms, and I won't take you there."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Su." Zhou Qichen took the ID card and bowed slightly, "Happy New Year!"

"Hehe, Happy New Year." Uncle Su waved at them, watching them enter their respective rooms.

The programs on the TV had only scrolling subtitles left, Uncle Su got up and turned off the TV, shook his stiff waist, glanced at the white snow outside the house,

"Hey, this kid, Ah Chen. Why is it like my Xiao Zhan, who doesn't go home after the Chinese New Year, and makes us old people worry."

He put down the folding chair and went to sleep.But suddenly another boy walked in.He looked up and found that the child seemed to be as old as his own son, and his body was wet.The expression on his face was also dim, as if frozen.

"Son, do you want to stay at the hotel?" He walked to the counter and asked the boy.

"Yeah." The young man nodded slightly, his thick eyelashes cast shadows under the dim light, "But I came out in a hurry, so I forgot to bring my ID card."

"That's not okay, you can't stay in the hotel without an ID card." Uncle Su shook his head and said.

Hearing this, the young man groped around, took out a dead mobile phone and a handful of change from his pocket, raised his head and said helplessly, "I really didn't bring it...but, I really have nowhere to go."

It doesn't look like he's lying.Uncle Su sighed slightly. This child looks quite delicate, which makes people feel distressed.

"Well, you can live in my son's room." He pointed to the first room on the right, "Just tell me the name, and I'll remember it."

"Okay, thank you." The boy bowed slightly, "My name is Bai Huaijin."

"Okay, let's go to sleep." Uncle Su looked at him with a smile, Xiaobai thanked him again, and then dragged his heavy body to the first room in the corridor on the right.

"Oh, that's right." At this moment, Uncle Su stopped him suddenly.He turned around and found that the figure of the old man under the light looked so kind, he smiled and said to him,

"Happy New Year, kid!"

"Thank you and happy new year..."

He suddenly felt a warm current passing through his heart. This was the best blessing he heard tonight.
