The correct way to eliminate loneliness

A flash of lightning pierced the night sky, lighting up the room for a moment, and then it went dark again within a few seconds. The man held a cigarette in his mouth, leaning on the glass with one hand, and stood at the floor-to-ceiling window watching the sudden thunderstorm. The whole city was shrouded in darkness. In a fog...

Yang Han was only wearing a pair of sports trousers, barefoot, showing his muscular upper body, with a little sweat on his body. A few minutes ago, he just woke up from a nightmare... He hasn't had this dream for many years , but those pictures are as real as if they happened yesterday.

The rain gradually became heavier, and lightning flashed from time to time. The sound insulation of the old-fashioned windows was not very good, and there were bursts of thunder. It was impossible to fall asleep for a short time.

In all fairness this is a stunning sight.Yang Han took off the cigarette and slowly exhaled a light mist, looking at the city lights in the rain outside the window, this city is still unfamiliar to him, in fact, it is like this everywhere he has been in these years, no matter how long he stays. familiar feeling.

He is not a person who is good at making friends, although people who know him think he is very enthusiastic, cheerful, and easy to talk to, except during training and missions.

Mission, the last time he was on a mission was a long time ago... two years?Or three years?

Time flies so fast that he hardly realizes it, but some things will not be forgotten with time... The cigarette in his hand is about to burn to the end, and as a piece of soot falls silently, he suddenly Returning to his senses, he turned around and found the cell phone in the dark, and dialed the man's number.

One minute later, the phone was picked up, Yang Han turned around and looked out the window, and said with a smile, "I knew you were watching this rain too..."

Ten o'clock in the evening is the busiest time in the nightclub, and the bar is noisy. After a burst of deafening fast-paced rock music, it always quiets down a little and is replaced by a lyrical tune.

After a night of torment, Zhong Xi felt that his ears were going to be deaf. He looked up at the man sitting across from him, who was looking at the dance floor, his body was swaying slightly with the rhythm of the music, as if he was enjoying it.

Aware of his gaze, Yang Han turned his head to look at Zhong Xi, shook the wine in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Won't you have a drink?"

"No drinking during working hours."

Yang Han said with a smile: "Drinking is also a necessity for us in our work now. How can you go to a nightclub without drinking, and you are so serious that it doesn't look like you are out to play, it is easy for people to see your flaws." He shook the wine in his hand, "This is beer, you can't get drunk."

Zhong Xi was helpless, he had already poured wine into his glass, but he didn't touch a sip.They were carrying out their mission. Although no one saw them, they should not drink alcohol due to circumstances and reasons. It was just the most basic rule that a policeman should follow, but the man in front of him was not abiding by the rules.

"Drink less, we..."

"Don't worry." Yang Han smiled slightly, "I'm very aware of my drinking capacity, so I won't delay my business."

Now that he said that, Zhong Xi didn't say anything more.Although this man usually looks unreliable, he has never made any mistakes at critical times, and he is much better than Zhang Qi.

Yang Han was transferred to the second investigation team a year ago, and Zhong Xi's boyfriend Zhang Qi became the captain of the second team. In a year, he solved many cases, big and small. His ability is obvious to all, but his handling style... Zhong Xi couldn't bear it. I want to sigh.

Today they got a report that a criminal suspect who had been hiding for a long time might appear in this nightclub. In order not to startle the enemy, he and Yang Han sneaked into the store pretending to be customers and waited for rabbits.

Yang Han looked very relaxed, as if he really came to the bar to have fun, and occasionally chatted with the woman who came to strike up a conversation, and only when the other party proposed an invitation, he glanced at him in a meaningful way, knowing the convenience expression, and then retreated.

He didn't know how many times he rolled his eyes because of this.

As time passed by, Zhong Xi also began to relax a little bit, but his eyes kept scanning back and forth throughout the nightclub.

Suddenly, he frowned, and said in a low voice, "Here we are." He looked at the man who emerged from the crowd, and after double-checking, he was sure that he was the suspect they were looking for.

Yang Han didn't speak, he raised his index finger to his mouth and made a "don't talk" gesture to Zhong Xi, then stood up holding the wine glass, and walked towards the man leisurely.

Zhong Xi was taken aback for a moment, "Team..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Han had already stood beside the man. Unexpectedly, the man did not run away because of his approach, but had a puzzled expression on his face.

Zhong Xi looked at them nervously, ready to attack at any time, but Yang Han didn't know what he said, the suspect's expression gradually relaxed, and the two said a few more words, Yang Han actually took the suspect He went to the bar and ordered a glass of wine for him, and the two clinked glasses, looking like they were having a good time.

Zhong Xi didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. It seemed that their captain was having a good time talking with the suspect. This scene seemed familiar, and it was exactly the same as the way the guy at home handled the case.

While Yang Han was chatting with the suspect, Zhong Xi notified his colleagues who were guarding everywhere, and several groups of people started to move at the same time to surround the suspect.

When the suspect realized something was wrong and was about to run away, Yang Han threw him over his shoulder and knocked him down.

"Is it a little heavy handed?" Zhong Xi asked.

Yang Han laughed, "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'll find a chance to review."

+ + + + +

When closing the team, in the car, Zhong Xi asked Yang Han beside him while driving.

"What did you say to the suspect just now? Why are you so sure that he won't run away? You can even have such a happy chat with him..."

The suspect was always vigilant and cunning, like a rabbit, he would run away at the slightest sign of trouble, so the police never caught him.

"Because I see that he likes men," Yang Hao glanced at him with a smile, "and I am the type he likes."

This time, Zhong Xi directly rolled his eyes.

In the VIP ward of the hospital, there is no smell of disinfectant that makes people nervous and uncomfortable, but the elegant fragrance of flowers that makes people feel comfortable and relaxed. The room is very quiet, only the sound of the instrument is ringing rhythmically, as if it is always reminding the patient on the bed life is still going on.

Qi Yehan was sitting by the bed, his shirt was a little wrinkled, his tie had been unbuttoned and hung loosely, he was rarely so slovenly outside, at this moment he looked a little tired, but he was also very relaxed.

He quietly looked at the old man on the bed. The old man was motionless with his eyes closed. This once vigorous man was finally tormented by the illness and his life was gradually disappearing with the arrogance of the disease. How long can he live... In fact, he has lasted longer than the doctor expected.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man slowly opened his eyes. Qi Yehan suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up and asked, "Would you like to call a doctor for you?"

Qi Tianyi shook his head slightly, "I didn't feel any discomfort, I slept well and felt fine."

Qi Yehan sat back slowly this time.

"How long have you been here?"

"Less than an hour." Qi Yehan replied, and then glanced at the flowers placed on the bedside, the white camellias were still stained with water droplets, so delicate and beautiful, he asked, "Little mother, have they been here?"

Qi Tianyi smiled and shook his head, "Ah Qi has been here." He also looked up at the camellia in the glass vase, "I didn't expect him to know that I like this flower... His mother probably told him. "

Qi Yehan lowered his eyes, "Oh..."

"I was resting with my eyes closed with those hands. He thought I was asleep, so he sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with me for a long time, all complaining." Qi Tianyi smiled, and there was some light in his eyes, "But I I like to listen to it, the beauty has been telling me this for a long time, a son complaining about my father's words... It's very enjoyable to listen to."

Qi Yehan smiled silently.Zhang Qi is his half-brother. Before that, he had been living with his mother and never thought of joining the Qi family.But more than a year ago, my father knew that he was terminally ill, and hoped to spend some time with him as a father in the end.

Although Zhang Qi was unwilling, he still returned to Qi's house for his mother, and returned to his own father.

Sometimes Qi Yehan would feel that his half-brother was too kind, at least, much kinder than him.

"Ah Qi..." Qi Tianyi said suddenly, "After I die, if he still wants to go back to be a policeman, let him go."

Qi Yehan frowned slightly.

"I thought about it. When I asked him to come back, on the surface it was to recognize my ancestors. In fact, I just wanted him to be by my side. After all, it was out of my resignation. I can't tie him to the relatives knowing that he doesn't like it." Home." Qi Tianyi sighed softly, "Maybe when a person is about to die, many things will be considered from a different angle."

Qi Yehan was silent for a moment, then said, "I see."

"And, you too."

Qi Yehan was taken aback.

Qi Tianyi looked at him with a smile on his face, "If you have something you want to do, just do it."

Just after finishing speaking, a nurse came in and put an IV on Qi Tianyi, which is one of the ways to maintain his life now.The nurse was very skilled. He quickly found the blood vessel on the back of his somewhat bruised hand, and then gently inserted the needle into it. Qi Tianyi seemed to have gotten used to it and was a little numb, without any reaction.

Qi Yehan kept watching, and immediately there was a smell of medicine in the room, which was not very pleasant and made his nose a little sore.

After the nurse went out, Qi Yehan lowered his head, while Qi Tianyi looked at him, and no one spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Tianyi suddenly sighed and said, "If I remember correctly, you haven't cried since you were ten years old."

Qi Yehan was cold, blinked his eyes, and realized that he was crying. He was even more surprised than Qi Tianyi, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes a little at a loss. "I……"

Qi Tianyi took a breath, showing a sad look on his face, which he never showed when he knew his time was short. "Ye Han, you are like me, and you are also like your mother. She is a strong woman, and in a certain way, she is very similar to me... Although this makes our emotional life not so smooth, I really love her .”

But when two people fall in love, they may not be able to stay together. Sometimes falling in love is not a lifetime but a moment.Of course, neither is love.

In this world, the last thing that needs to be bothered to explain is probably feelings.

"I know it's very unfair to her and you to say that..." Qi Tianyi paused for a while, this kind of conversation was already a burden on his stereo, his voice weakened, "But I really hope that in the future you can Live on your own terms."

Over the years, this may be what Qi Tianyi has said most like what his father would say.

Qi Yehan didn't answer the words, and Qi Tianyi didn't say anything else, thinking he had run out of strength, he slowly closed his eyes.

The room became quiet again in an instant, just like not long ago, except for the sound of the instrument, there was no other sound. After a long time, Qi Yehan finally let out a low "hmm". I don't know if Qi Tianyi heard it, but it doesn't matter anymore. .

The next day, Qi Tianyi went to the company as usual, but when he was free, he always heard what his father said last night.

After Qi Yehan became independent, Qi Tianyi had already handed over most of the company's affairs to him. After being sick and hospitalized, it could even be said that the entire company was taken over by Qi Yehan.

Although Qi Tianyi has other children, they are not idiots, but compared with Qi Yehan, they really can't get on the stage. Compared with working in the company, they are more keen on traveling and shopping, as if they are the children of the rich family. should do.

And Qi Yehan was already used to his life being occupied by work, Qi Tianyi asked him to do what he wanted to do, but he didn't know what else he could do.

After signing the last report, Qi Yehan asked the secretary to come in and take it away. He ordered a cup of coffee and drank it while watching the computer. He had just taken a few sips when the phone rang.

He didn't look at the caller ID and answered the call directly, only to find out that it was from his little mother, who was Qi Tianyi's third wife.

"Yehan, do you want to go home these few days and have a meal together?" The woman's voice was gentle and charming, with a hint of charm.

"Let's talk." Qi Yehan stared at the computer and responded casually, put down his coffee and clicked the mouse twice.

"You haven't been back for a long time..."

The hand holding the mouse paused, Qi Yehan frowned slightly, "You haven't seen Dad for a long time."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then the voice became a bit complaining, "That's because he doesn't want to see me. I took your brother there ten times and he was willing to see me twice. Can you blame me?"

Sighing, Qi Yehan suddenly felt a little headache, "Stop talking, I have something else to do." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party's response.

Putting down his phone, he stared at the computer for a while, and suddenly felt his gaze. When he looked up, he saw the person standing at the door. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Qi leaned against the door frame at some point, looking at Qi Yehan with a half-smile.Although it's a superficial smile, but there are two dimples on the face, but it doesn't look annoying.

"A few new contracts need your signature." Zhang Qi closed the door behind his back, walked to the desk and put the documents in front of Qi Yehan, "Take a look and let me know if you have any questions."

Qi Yehan glanced at it, nodded, "Okay."

Zhang Qi glanced at the coffee on Qi Yehan's table, and asked, "Do you eat this for lunch?"

Qi Yehan chuckled lightly, and said half-jokingly, "Another cigarette."

"I'm not talking about you," Zhang Qi opened the chair and sat down, "Can you live like a normal person?"

Qi Yehan just laughed, and changed the topic, "How are you, have you adapted to the company's work?"

Zhang Qi shrugged, "It's okay, but," he laughed, and said a little sarcastically, "Sometimes it reminds me of the time when I was an undercover agent."

"The shopping mall is like this, you need to act at any time." Qi Yehan said flatly, "Everything is based on profit. It's great if you can get used to it."

Zhang Qi was noncommittal to his words.

"Did you visit Dad yesterday?" Qi Yehan asked again.

Zhang Qi hummed.

"He liked the flowers you sent me very much."

"When I passed by a flower shop in the past, I bought it when I saw it." Zhang Qi paused and said, "That is my mother's favorite flower."

Qi Yehan smiled slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked Zhang Qi, "Do you still want to go back to be a policeman?"

Zhang Qi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, and after thinking about it, he answered, "Maybe."

Going back to Qi's house was not what he wanted at the beginning, not because he would be separated from Zhong Xi, which would not affect their relationship, but mainly because this kind of life was not what he wanted.

Power and money are indeed attractive, but he has already had them. During those years when he was an undercover agent, he didn't feel very happy at that time. Power and money are like poison, almost poisoning "Ah Qi" to death.

It is only when the Second Investigation Team and Zhong Xi are together that they are truly alive.

Zhang Qi answered vaguely, but Qi Yehan already understood what he meant and didn't find it unexpected.In comparison, everyone has the life they want.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when Qi Yehan left the company, and the secretary reminded him that he was off work.

He hadn't had dinner yet, and he didn't eat much for lunch. The secretary bought the sandwich and coffee at his discretion. He drank the coffee and forgot the sandwich after only one bite.

On the way back by car, Qi Yehan turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, the sky was dark, it seemed that it was going to rain again...

Realizing this, the car seemed to become stuffy too. Qi Yehan opened the car window, and a gust of cool wind poured in, instantly feeling a lot better.

"Uncle Chen," he called the driver, "I want to take a walk, let me get off in front, and you should go back early."

Uncle Chen was originally Qi Tianyi's driver, and he drove for Qi Tianyi for decades. After Qi Tianyi became ill, he didn't go out much, so he was asked to drive for Qi Yehan. It has been several years. He has always cared about Qi Yehan. No matter how late Qi Yehan worked overtime, he would basically wait for him to send him back.

Uncle Chen slowed down the speed of the car, "Master, it's getting late, I'd better take you home, I think you're not in a good mood, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"fine……"

"You should go back to rest early. Recently, you are busy with company affairs and going to the hospital. Take care of your health. If you fall down again..."

"I know." Qi Yehan smiled slightly, "Fang Xin, I'm just a little hungry, I'm going to eat something, and I'll be home soon. I'll go to the company by myself tomorrow morning. I don't need a car. You can take a day off. .”

Uncle Chen hesitated for a while but nodded, then slowly stopped the car on the side of the road and put Qi Yehan down, and before leaving, he asked him to have something to eat.

After getting off the car, Qi Yehan took off his coat and hung it on his arm, and crossed two roads to the restaurant he often went to.

The first time he asked Zhang Qi out to meet him, he was at that restaurant. The food was quite appetizing, but after a while, he became a regular customer and became acquainted with the boss.

When Qi Yehan entered the restaurant, the waiter already knew him, "Good evening, Mr. Qi."

He nodded, and originally wanted to say a cup of coffee, but thinking of Uncle Chen's instructions, he changed it to——

"Let's have a light meal, and replace the drink with vegetable soup."

"OK, just a second."

After the waiter left, Qi Yehan habitually walked over to his usual seat.At this time, there were not many customers in the store. He originally thought that there would be no one there, but when he walked over, he found that someone was sitting, and the back was a little familiar...

Just as he thought of this, the person sitting there suddenly turned his head, and his eyes met Qi Yehan's.

Yang Han raised the corners of his mouth, smiling enthusiastically and beautifully.

"What a coincidence, come and sit."

Qi Ye hesitated for a while, but still passed, sat down and looked, there was a large serving of ice cream in front of the man, three whole balls, with various fruits, nuts and chocolate rice placed on it, it looked extremely delicious.

"Would you like some?" Yang Han asked with a spoon in his mouth, "Today's limited supply is larger."

"No need." Qi Yehan replied lukewarmly.

Yang Han licked the corner of his mouth, as if he was indulging in the deliciousness of sweets, "We meet here again."

After hearing this, Qi Yehan really wanted to ask: Are you here to block me?

He also felt that asking such a question was very sentimental. He didn't say it after all, but apart from this reason, he really didn't know what a big man was thinking about serving out a huge portion of ice cream in the store at night.

Suddenly someone called him from behind.

"Night cold..."

Yang Han raised his head, curious about who would call Qi Yehan so affectionately, but this time, he found it unexpected that the person who called Qi Yehan was a mature and charming woman.

She stood beside Qi Yehan, and patted his shoulder affectionately and generously, "Long time no see."

Qi Yehan smiled slightly, "Are you back from your trip?"

"Just got off the plane, I wanted to come to the store to take a look before going back to rest, and I just met you." She said with joy on her face, and looked at Yang Han across the way, "This is..."

"Hello," Yang Han greeted with a smile, "I'm Yehan's friend Yang Han." He glanced at Qi Yehan as he spoke, but the other party did not deny his statement.

"I didn't even know that Yehan had such a handsome friend." The woman smiled, her eyes seemed to be a bit inquiring, after all, since she knew Qi Yehan, she often saw him alone.

The woman is the owner of the restaurant, a little older than Qi Yehan, gentle and beautiful, she had a failed marriage once, and she fell in love with Qi Yehan at first sight.

When she saw Qi Yehan wearing a white shirt and sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows for the first time, she instantly blushed and felt her heart beating, as if she had returned to Girls' Generation.

At that time, Qi Yehan felt indifferent and sexy, she didn't dare to strike up a conversation easily, so she hid her budding feelings in her heart, and dated Qi Yehan as an ordinary friend.

Qi Yehan is a frequent customer of the restaurant, and they would chat with each other when they met. Although Qi Yehan was not a talkative person, he listened very charmingly, as if he valued her very much.

However, when she was about to express her love to Qi Yehan, she was reluctant to part with her long-standing friendship with Qi Yehan.

Between a man and a woman, love or friendship may always be a problem.

In the end, she chose to give up, because she didn't want to lose Qi Yehan, she already had Qi Yehan's friendship, and she didn't expect to get his love again.

Qi Yehan didn't know how to answer, so he simply remained silent.

After chatting with them for a few words, she said to Qi Yehan: "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look, and then go back to rest, we'll talk another day."

Qi Yehan nodded.

After she left, Yang Han winked at Qi Yehan and teased, "A confidante?"

Qi Yehan didn't speak, and glanced at the ice cream in front of him, "If you don't eat it, it will melt."

"Really don't want to have a bite?" Yang Han took a spoon and dug a spoonful before he bought it.

Qi Yehan turned his head away and took a sip of water.

It didn't take long for the waiter to bring Qi Yehan's food. This restaurant basically serves western food. Now the table is serving beautifully colored seafood pasta, rich vegetable soup, and tiramisu for dessert. , as a meal for one person, it can be called a hearty meal.

Qi Yehan picked up the fork and ate, his movements were unhurried and graceful.

Yang Han watched his movements with great interest, "The food here tastes good, but it's not satisfying to eat. I'll take you to a place I often go to some other day."

Qi Yehan glanced at him, "Since you don't like this place, why come here?"

What if I said it was because of you...Yang Han didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile.

Qi Yehan ate a few more mouthfuls, then put down the fork.

"Just eat this little?" Yang Han muttered, "Isn't your appetite too small?" He kept staring at the piece of tiramisu.

Qi Yehan glanced at him, and put it in front of Yang Han, who was not polite, and ate it directly with the spoon in his hand.

Seeing how he ate to his heart's content, although his personal preferences are different, Qi Yehan really doesn't understand how a man can like sweets so much.

Yang Han took care of the exquisite pastry in twos and twos, Qi Yehan managed to finish the noodles, and called the waiter to come over to pay the bill, but the waiter told him that it had already been credited to the boss's account, including Yang Han's portion of ice cream.

So Qi Yehan got up to leave, and Yang Han followed him out.

"This time I took your light, next time I will treat you."

Qi Yehan didn't speak, but it started to rain not long after he walked out of the restaurant. The sparse raindrops fell on the ground, and soon became denser. Qi Yehan stood in the arcade for a while, subconsciously frowned...

"Did you feel that when we meet, it often rains?" Yang Han stood beside him, with an undisguised smile in his tone.

Sighing secretly, Qi Yehan turned his head to look at him, "What exactly do you want?"

Yang Han raised his eyebrows slightly, "What? Finally want to talk to me?"

"What do we have to say?"

"That's too cold to say, we are going to share weal and woe after all, right?"

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Qi Yehan was too lazy to bother him, and turned around to stop a taxi to go home. Yang Han sensed his intention and put his arms around his waist.

Qi Yehan froze for a moment, "You..."

"Don't be nervous." Yang Han approached him from behind and whispered in his ear, "I won't do anything outrageous on the road." Although he did want to do something outrageous.

Qi Ye smiled coldly, and glanced at him, "Really?"

Yang Han smiled and said nothing, looked up and looked around, "It's raining, so it's not easy to stop the car... But I'm driving today." He lowered his head and smiled meaningfully at Qi Yehan, "I'll take you home."
