In the next few days, Shen Xingchen only ate and slept, and walking the dog downstairs every day was considered exercise.He was too lazy to go to Luo Wen's house for dinner every day, so Luo Wen gave him bags of dumplings and wontons every now and then, and made soup for him from time to time.

"You stole the food from the house every three days and gave it to me, Shao Wei won't ask the family law?" Shen Xingchen lay on the sofa, stroking his son's back with one hand, and bringing the hospital book back with the other. novel is reading.

"Then what should I do?" Luo Wen stuffed a bag of freshly wrapped dumplings into the refrigerator, "If you don't go to eat, can I still watch you starve to death?"

"That's right," Shen Xingchen said while staring at the book without raising his head, "If you two are really doing it, you still don't know who is domestically abusing whom."

Luo Wen didn't pay any attention to him, while washing the pot of wontons in chicken soup that was soaking in the sink.

"By the way," Shen Xingchen suddenly remembered something, "Where's the bookmark in this folder?"

"What bookmark?" Luo Wen turned to look at Shen Xingchen.

"It's you who got it in this book."

"What book?" Rowan put the cleaned pots and pans into the cupboard.

Shen Xingchen was taken aback, then raised his head suddenly: "Didn't you bring this book to the hospital?"

"I haven't taken the book before." Luo Wen walked over, picked up the novel and looked at it, "Isn't this from Chu Qingyang's family bookstore? He brought it there."

"Impossible," Shen Xingchen said firmly, "How could Chu Qingyang, with his violent temper, sit quietly by my bed every day and read novels to me?"

"Oh, there is no one else but him." Luo Wen had just finished speaking when he suddenly thought of something, "After you were sent to the hospital, there was a bag in the car, and I took it to the later ward together. It came out of that bag."

"It's still..." Shen Xingchen looked at Luo Wen suspiciously, "Who would care about me so much except you, I saw a bookmark in it before, and they all contained a small two hundred—"

Shen Xingchen paused suddenly, frowned, and something seemed to flash through his mind—that pervert that day...opened the drawer and took it away, could it be that Captain America bookmark?But what is he doing with the bookmark?How does he know there are bookmarks in the book?

The answer is obvious. If what he took away was really the bookmark, then he was the one who put the bookmark in it. Based on his behavior that night, he must have coveted himself for a long time. It is estimated that the person who often sits by the bed and reads novels is also him?So... who is this pervert?

"Don't even think about it," Luo Wen picked up the coat on the sofa, "I'm going to be dazed if I want to go into criminal investigation, and I have to analyze everything. Maybe it's where this book fell when it was taken around." Said After that, go to the door. "I'm going back, and I'll bring you bone soup tomorrow."

"No need, I drink bone soup every three days. My bones haven't grown well, so I'm going to lose weight." Shen Xingchen continued to look at the book, and it was still on page 7 since Luo Wen entered the door.

"Wait, Miss Wen," Shen Xingchen suddenly thought of something and stopped her, "I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Luo Wen walked to the door and was about to open it, when he heard this, he came back and sat on the sofa.

"That Dr. Jin, do you two know each other very well?" Shen Xingchen put the book aside, "Did he ask you to open a clinic last time?"

"Oh, he's been in our hospital for many years. He's not very familiar with him, but he's okay." Luo Wen looked at him. The license to practice medicine is said to be a facade at the gate of the community, and to give needles to the surrounding residents at night. I think it is very reliable, and I am going to invest some money. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much, so it can be regarded as making more friends. "

"Then his whole—" Shen Xingchen was interrupted by Luo Wen before he could speak.

"Fourteen," Luo Wen seemed to think of something suddenly, grabbed Shen Xingchen's hand, and said with some horror, "What are you asking about him? You can't really do what Qingyang said, right?"

"Fuck you!" Shen Xingchen shook off her hand and turned his head, "I just think this person is weird, so I'm just going to gossip."

"He's an honest person who can't be more honest, what's so strange. Are you sure you really didn't fall in love with the handsome guy?" Luo Wen stared at him with wide eyes, still unable to believe his denial.

"Go, go," Shen Xingchen got up and walked to the room, "Hurry up and go home, or Wei Shao will be careful again. I'm going to take a shower."

Luo Wen was still a little worried, and left with a heavy heart...

Resting at home for another month, during which time he went for several rehabilitation sessions. Shen Xingchen's leg didn't seem to have any major problems, and he didn't walk like a cripple anymore. It really looked like what Luo Wen said. In that way, normal life will not be affected.It was the end of the new year in a blink of an eye, and Shen Xingchen thought that after such a long time of leisurely life, he would go to the unit to sell fake reports, but what he didn't expect was that the accident happened so quickly, just like the previous explosion, so that he was caught off guard. Let him leave the investigation of that strange doctor in the Sahara desert.The days of endless leisure are coming soon...

Shen Xingchen rushed into the director's office the day before the New Year's Eve holiday, and then only heard a jingling sound inside, mixed with indistinct quarrels, which made the people listening to the wall confused and frightened.More than half an hour later, Shen Xingchen slammed the door and walked out, returning to the big office of the second anti-smuggling team, with a gloomy expression on his face, not at all infected by the lively atmosphere of the approaching Chinese New Year.

None of the four dared to say anything, and they all pretended to be working, secretly squinting at Shen Xingchen.

"Come over here, I'll be thirty tomorrow. No one will give you model worker awards." Shen Xingchen leaned on a big table.

"What happened, Captain Shen?"

"What's the situation, I heard that you and Director Yang had a quarrel in the office."

"What's wrong with the old man?"

……

"From today onwards, I will stop working." As soon as Shen Xingchen finished speaking, the whole team almost slipped and almost sat on the ground.No one dared to intervene, they were all waiting for Shen Xingchen to say what happened.

"The old man said, my legs can't stay on the front line, so I'm going to be transferred to logistics." Shen Xingchen took out a cigarette, took out a lighter from Liu Yi's coat pocket, lit it... took a deep breath... spit Take a puff of cigarette.

The four of them all knew that Captain Shen was going to enter the criminal investigation all day long, but now he couldn't even do the front line here, obviously his future was hopeless.For Team Shen, who was motivated all over his body, this was like breaking his wings. With his temperament, he obviously couldn't bear it and would not compromise. No wonder he quarreled with Ju Yang like that.

"Fatty black man," Shen Xingchen said to Liu Yi, "You should eat regularly. There are not many cases in this place where birds don't lay eggs. Eat honestly and drink more hot porridge."

"Damn girl," Shen Xingchen turned to Zhao Yutong, "Be careful to keep warm at ordinary times, and don't wear long johns in winter, you won't be able to walk long distances before you are forty, and you will be infertile if you are too cold."

"Big man," Zhang Peng raised his head and looked at Shen Xingchen when he heard Shen Xingchen calling him. "You have to save more money yourself, and you have to marry a wife and have a baby."

After exhorting them one by one, Shen Xingchen finally walked to Han Wuqing's side and patted his arm, "The tea should be light, do you still want to sleep?!"

"Okay, I'm done talking. I'm leaving. I'll talk about the procedures...when I'm free." After Shen Xingchen finished speaking, he walked out of the unit without looking back, got on the motorcycle, and left in a hurry. He seemed so calm from the beginning to the end. , It seems that there was no fierce quarrel just now, and I didn't lose my job, but just went to the vegetable market to buy half a catty of pork.

The four of them were left standing there in a daze, looking at each other, wondering which song Shen Xingchen was singing again. I finished talking for a week in 5 minutes, this is... I took medicine?It took a long time for them to realize that this couldn't be the real resignation, right? !Han Wuqing immediately dialed Luo Wen, and passed it to Zhao Yutong after the call... After the 2-minute call ended, they found that Luo Wen didn't know what happened, and there was another person in a daze in place.

That motorcycle drove far, far away. In fact, he didn't know where he was going. As long as there was still a road ahead, he ran forward without turning. It seemed that the cold wind blowing on him could make him more awake. Calm down.

Losing his job came second. What frustrates him the most is that he feels that the future is very slim.Regarding the investigation of the disappearance of the parents, there were no clues in the first place, and now they have left the system, completely blinded.The goal that I have been thinking about has turned into a cloud of mist, unable to touch, and even have nowhere to start.

Shen Xingchen stopped the car abruptly, and suddenly gave a wry smile... "Check? Check the fart!" Seeing his years of hard work and returning to the pre-liberation night, he suddenly felt so entangled. Anyway, he couldn't leave again. down.

At that time, I felt that I was taken out all of a sudden. It was different from the leisurely state at home for more than a month before. At that time, I always seemed to have something in my heart. Now... I am really free... The thoughts in my mind were cleaned in an instant clean.

I don't know how long it took before Shen Xingchen suddenly felt a piercing coldness on his face. Only then did Shen Xingchen realize that he was standing in front of the fence by the sea, with his arms bent over the railing and a lighted cigarette in his hand. Beside him, the helmet was thrown on the ground. It turned out that it was a gust of sea wind that blew him back to reality just now.For a while, he was at a loss, and he didn't even remember when he stood here.Since he was a child, he has experienced this kind of absent-mindedness several times, and he often comes to a trance, without remembering what he did before, and as time goes by, he gets used to it.

Half a minute after regaining consciousness, Shen Xingchen threw down the cigarette butt, stomped it out, picked up the helmet, put it on, got on the motorcycle, and ran home...

"Shen Xingchen, open the door for me!" Luo Wen stood at the door on the third floor, "I saw your car, don't pretend you're not at home!" Although the voice was not very explosive, at the embarrassing time of 09:30 at night, The prime-time TV series has just finished broadcasting, and it's too early to go to bed, so the scream that is not alarming will also appear to have a sense of loneliness piercing the sky.

After knocking on the door for 5 minutes, there was still no movement inside the door, not even a dog barking.Upstairs, a person came down slowly and came to Luo Wen's side.

"Doctor Luo, what's the matter?" It was Dr. Jin who came.

"Oh..." Luo Wen looked helpless, "This is something to worry about."

Hearing that something happened to Shen Xingchen, Doctor Jin seemed to have a look on his face.

"The little girl from their unit called me this morning and asked me if I knew why he quit." Luo Wen leaned against the wall by the door, resting his forehead with one hand, "I was stunned at the time, and I still At work, I called him over and over again and didn’t answer. Why did I just quit? How many people break their heads to squeeze into a place where there is more money and less to do...Although it’s better to stay away from home, it’s a golden rice bowl Ah... I just got off work. When I came back, I saw his car parked downstairs. I wanted to ask him about the situation, but he still didn’t answer the call. The door was locked again, and my fingerprint couldn’t open it. I’ve been knocking on the door until now. , there is not even the voice of Young Master Hua."

Luo Wenxu babbled, like a pause, and suddenly thought of something: "Isn't it possible to turn on the gas with the dog?!" She grabbed Dr. Jin's arm, "Should I call the police? Should I kick the door? ?" Luo Wen suddenly became nervous, completely forgetting about Chu Qingyang, a ready-made policeman.

"Doctor Luo, don't worry," Doctor Jin gently stroked Luo Wen's hand off his arm, "Call Police Officer Chu." After speaking, he walked back upstairs.

"Oh, yes, yes, Chu Qingyang..." Luo Wen didn't realize that this man was so calm and indifferent, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the number...

On the balcony of Shen Xingchen's house, there is a person standing at the moment, using something to lightly pry the balcony door lock...

Hearing the sound of "click", a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he carefully opened a crack in the door, opened the tightly drawn floor-to-ceiling curtains, and looked around the living room.

Young Master Hua was lying on the side of the sofa. When he heard the movement, he raised his head suddenly... When he found someone, he ran over briskly, sniffed at the person, and then began to use his claws to claw at the balcony door. Want to let him in.If Shen Xingchen was sober at this time, seeing this scene, he might have the urge to eat dog meat.Apart from being smart, his son has only one characteristic - protecting the Lord.Once you notice that a stranger with bad intentions is approaching, you will immediately put on a fighting posture, and be ready to go forward and tear people into dried meat for supper.

The man patted its head, entered the living room, and found it was pitch black. He vaguely felt that Shen Xingchen was lying sprawled on the sofa at the moment, motionless, with a blanket piled up in front of his feet.He first opened the balcony door wide, and then he smelled the smell in the air. He felt that there was no strange smell except the strong smell of wine, and then he groped into the kitchen. After careful inspection, he felt relieved. in one breath.

Luo Wen's voice came intermittently from the door, "Shen Xingchen, open the door for me—" He walked to the door, gently opened the lock, and turned back to walk to the balcony.When he walked to the sofa, he couldn't help but look back at Shen Xingchen who was lying down, sighed, squatted down and touched Young Master Hua lying at his feet, and said softly, "You are better."

At this time, a faint voice suddenly came from outside the door—"It's locked? How is it possible?"

The figure in the darkness suddenly stood up, paused, ran towards the balcony, and disappeared into the night in an instant.If it wasn't for the swaying of the floor-to-ceiling curtain blown by the wind, it would be as if this figure had never appeared here before...

Ten seconds later, the door opened with a beep...

"Can't this be opened?" Chu Qingyang turned to Luo Wen and said, "Did you press the wrong finger?" While talking, he walked in and pressed the ceiling light switch on the wall next to the door. "The lights are not on, are you not at home?"

"How is it possible?" Luo Wen stood behind Chu Qingyang, who hadn't seen what was going on inside the house yet, "I've been opening this door every day for the past six months. It was obviously locked just now, and I pressed it seven or eight times."

"Fuck, what does it smell like?" Chu Qingyang frowned, "Who put the wine jar—"

As soon as Luo Wen heard the word "taste", he knocked Chu Qingyang aside and rushed into the kitchen impatiently.

"—I overturned it." Chu Qingyang was pushed back a bit, and he finished what he hadn't said, and walked in, "Are you hungry? What are you doing in the kitchen?"

Seeing that the stove switch was on and off, and hearing the second half of Chu Qingyang's sentence, Luo Wen came back and slapped him: "Can you stop panting when you speak?!"

"It's because you were so anxious that you didn't finish listening, okay?" Chu Qingyang rolled his eyes, walked into the living room, and saw Shen Xingchen lying on the sofa, with a pile of beer cans on the ground that was enough to pile up pagodas. Lifting his head, he looked at himself aggrieved and confused.

His heart suddenly became clear, and he was walking slowly, when he was bumped into a stagger again. It turned out that Luo Wen also saw the sofa, ran over like a gust of wind, and bumped into him again.

"Fourteen—" Luo Wen rushed to Shen Xingchen's side, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he squatted down to touch his face.If Shen Xingchen was awake, he might be very depressed. Why did everyone like to touch his face?Suddenly, Luo Wen felt something rubbing against her feet, and only then did she realize that there was a dog lying beside her feet.

"You're going to die," Luo Wen kicked up lightly, "I shouted outside for a long time, but you didn't even make a sound!"

"Oh, why are you nervous?" Chu Qingyang walked over, "It's because you drank too much."

Chu Qingyang pushed Luo Wen aside, put one hand under Shen Xingchen's shoulder, and picked up his knee with the other. He picked up Shen Xingchen, who was like a dead body, and walked to the bedroom: "You cleaned the living room, what the hell? The smell of this wine...is simply!"

Luo Wen first poured a pot of hot water, put a towel, and brought it to Chu Qingyang. The air conditioner in the bedroom was already on.

The electrical appliances in Shen Xingchen's home are all smart. As long as there is someone within the sensing range, the air conditioner will automatically turn on the constant temperature. If there is no one, it will go to sleep. If no one is detected for half an hour, it will automatically shut down.At this moment, the air outlet is exhaling warm air, and the mute effect is very good.Chu Qingyang once laughed at how lazy Shen Xingchen was, even lazily pressing the remote control to switch on and off the air conditioner.

Seeing that Shen Xingchen's shirt had been taken off and thrown on the ground next to the bed, and his whole body was stuffed under the quilt, she picked up the clothes on the ground, turned around and came out, closing the door behind her.

The beer can was swept halfway, and a gust of cool wind blew in.She found that the balcony door was actually open, and the floor-to-ceiling curtain was still fluttering slightly.Luo Wen was stunned for a moment, she knew Shen Xingchen, a person who even had to replace the window glass with bulletproof, how could he let the balcony door open when he was drunk?

In order to diffuse the smell of alcohol in the room, Luo Wen simply walked over, opened all the balcony doors, turned around and came back to continue sweeping the floor.

"How much did you drink?!" Rowan looked at the endless beer cans on the ground, and said to himself, "You can tell me what happened."

After more than 20 minutes, Chu Qingyang came out, poured out the water in the basin, hung up the towel, poured another cup of honey water and put it on the bedside table, turned around and closed the door.At the same time, Luo Wen also cleaned up the living room, and said to Young Master Hua, "Watch out, call if you need something!"

"Well—" Husky seemed to understand, and looked at Luo Wen firmly.

She hung the clothes in the washing machine to dry on the balcony, turned around and went back to the house, locked the balcony door, and pulled the floor-to-ceiling curtains tightly.He heard Chu Qingyang say to her, "The clothes are changed, and I'm still asleep, everything is settled."

When Shen Xingchen woke up, the sunshine of New Year's Eve was shining directly on the quilt...

He took his hand out of the quilt and rubbed his eyes.Young Master Hua under the bed opened the door and came in at some point. Hearing the movement on the bed, he immediately got up and looked at the bewildered host on the bed, maybe wondering if it was something to do and whether he should call.

The man who was in a daze and didn't know why he was lying on the bed in his pajamas slowly sat up, looked at the cup by the bed, picked it up and took a sip, and was stunned for five seconds, not paying any attention to the snail girl who appeared last night If there is any interest, he just doesn't know how the two bastards got in after he obviously locked the door after he got home yesterday. It seems that the defense system of the house still has loopholes, and he still needs to start strengthening it another day.

He lifted the quilt and sat by the bed, saw the dog lying under the bed, closed his eyes and barked, "Shoes!"

When he opened his eyes again, he got out of bed, put on his slippers, and scratched Young Master Hua who was holding his head up, "Good son!"

Sure enough, the beer cans that should have been piled up in the living room have disappeared without a trace, and there is not even a slight smell of alcohol in the air. It seems that what happened after returning yesterday was just a dream...

Shen Xingchen was thin, so he returned to the room, found an old down jacket in the closet and wrapped it around his body, walked to the main valve switch by the gate, and turned off the main switch of the air conditioner.Even if he wakes up with a hangover, he still clearly remembers the resignation yesterday. Without this golden job, how can he be so extravagant.

After that, he opened the floor-to-ceiling curtain inside the balcony door, and the sunlight suddenly broke into the originally gloomy living room, feeling that the world suddenly became clear.However, Shen Xingchen's heart was not illuminated by the sun. He opened the balcony door, walked out, and closed the door heavily with his backhand. The poor young master Hua could only stare blankly at his master from the other side of the door.

He was lying on the big hanging chair on the balcony, bathing in the sun greedily, but no matter how warm he felt on his skin, his heart was always as cold as the spring water under the snow-capped mountains.

This is his New Year's Eve...this is his New Year...the New Year of a young man with no job, no savings, and no future...Shen Xingchen thought silently...

Every new year in the past ten years, Luo Wen and Chu Qingyang would take turns calling him home to have New Year's Eve dinner with them, because of Shen Xingchen's well-behaved appearance in front of his elders, and his grades have always been very good , the parents of all the classmates like this excellent boy very much, and feel that he is alone all the year round, and feel sorry for this lonely boy.

For the next ten years, he was in the orphanage every new year, and the dean who loved him the most would cook him a table of delicious food, and specially ordered a bowl of his favorite small wontons, and then sat next to him Smiling and watching him eat bite by bite, the more he eats, the happier she is.

That's right...the days in the orphanage...how happy...Shen Xingchen closed his eyes, thinking about his childhood, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth...
