Abnormal

Needle-like, dense pain.

Like a hangover, I couldn't keep my eyelids open, and my bones seemed to be falling apart.There seemed to be someone whispering beside him, and he vaguely heard words such as "physical examination" and "sedation", and he couldn't think of anything related to it for a while.Shao Qing's voice gradually died down, the sound of footsteps faded away, and the whole body became quiet.

Even though he was still dissociated in his consciousness, Gao Tong still breathed a sigh of relief.He was always uncomfortable with that person around.

Under the surveillance of the other party, privacy seems to have become nonsense, and all self-esteem and personality are quietly submerged.Everything inside and out of his body was naked, and he couldn't hide his shame.

So it is a great blessing to have a chance to breathe for a while.

However, before he rested for half a minute, he heard familiar footsteps—the frequency and strength of this kind of landing, which he was familiar with as early as when he was in Shanghai, and it took him only half a month to form a conditioned reflex. , he couldn't help getting nervous.

The sound stopped abruptly beside the bed.

Gao Tong could feel the other party's gaze.The air seemed to have been suddenly splashed with a cup of condensate, and everything became stiff, and his hand covered in the quilt unconsciously grabbed the sheet.

—what is he going to do?How should I react?Should I continue to sleep or...

But in the next moment, the broken hair on the forehead was gently brushed away, and the temperature of the human body was felt on the cheek. He heard the other party's voice lowered, saying that he would go to his parents' house to take a look first.

"Come back soon." He said softly, "I'll take you there next time."

Maybe it was because the voice was different from usual, or maybe it was because Gao Tong was already in a drowsy sleep, so he didn't feel much resistance.The other party seemed to leave again, he was still too tired to open his eyelids, and it didn't take long for him to sink into the deep sea of ​​consciousness again.

……

Going west from the imperial gardens in the capital, driving through mountains and forests and dense ancient trees, if you see a towering tower, you can see the mysterious appearance of the forbidden area of ​​the Military Commission.

There are heavily armed troops stationed under the tower all year round, and further inside is the residence of senior officials within the central government.The group of houses is built on Yuquan Mountain. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was designated as a forbidden area not open to the outside world. If you want to enter, you have to pass through many checkpoints and show your certificate before you can go through.The mountain road leading to the residence is well-built, but the speed is required to be absolutely slow, and there will be signs of 'No Honking' almost every [-] meters.

The wide and flat main road is connected to several forks, and there are guards with guns standing guard in front of the pavilion at the crossings.But it is finally the time of Chinese New Year. Although the security here is as usual, the firecracker paper scattered on the side of the road and the red lanterns hanging in front of the house add a lot of festive and lively atmosphere.

It took some time for Bai Xiuwen to arrive at his destination. He hadn't been here for some years, not to mention that the residents in Yuquan Mountain had come and gone in the past few years, roads were renovated, courtyards were repaired, and some landmark buildings were replaced. Little; Mr. Bai likes to be quiet, so the house is hidden deep inside, and it is difficult to find it with a navigation.

A lot of cars had already parked in the courtyard. As soon as Bai Xiuwen stopped the car, someone thoughtfully opened the door: "Master, you are back."

Bai Xiuwen got out of the car and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, long time no see."

"The food is almost ready, the chief and the others are waiting for you to serve the meal." The man in his 40s, named Chen Lai, was a guard who had followed Mr. Bai for decades. "The young master hasn't come back for a few years. How long do you want to stay?"

Bai Xiuwen pondered for a while, and said that it should depend on the situation.

Chen Lai answered enthusiastically: "You must be homesick after being away for so long, right? In the past few years, the old chief has often talked about the young master, saying that the young master is the only one among these juniors, you don't come to see him often..."

Bai Xiuwen smiled slightly, and said: "This is not here."

The Bai mansion seems to be old, and the outside of the courtyard is not very luxurious, but when you enter, you will find that there is something special about this place.In such a severe cold season, there is actually the scene of small bridges and flowing water, against the beautiful rockery, it seems that a courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River has been relocated here, which looks antique and has a unique charm.

The two of them walked through the atrium and entered the gate of the house while chatting. After a while, they arrived at the lobby, where all the members of the Bai family were waiting.

"Xiuwen is back."

Mr. Bai is over eighty, and although his hair is gray, he is energetic and has piercing eyes. Just sitting on his seat, he shows a calm and majestic appearance.This is the aura naturally formed by people who have been in high positions all year round and are used to giving orders.Seeing Bai Xiuwen enter the door, a smile appeared on his face: "Xiuwen, everyone is waiting for you. Come and sit down."

"Sorry, I'm late." Bo Xiuwen showed a respectful expression on his face. He first said hello to his grandfather, and then greeted other relatives present. Then he took off his coat and handed it to Chen Lai. seat.

Mr. Bai has three sons and one daughter under his knees. Two are in politics, one is in business, and the other is a university professor.Although Bai's father, Bai Zhanning, is the youngest, he has inherited most of the father's mantle, and his political career has also climbed extremely high. He has served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Bureau in his early fifties

"Xiuwen, how is it going abroad, are you still used to it? Bean Ting tweet ⒑㈦⑷⒀⒊[-]" the old man first took a sip of his tea, and seeing that everyone was looking this way eagerly, he coughed: "Come on, everyone Let's eat first, and Xiuwen and I will talk about the daily life first."

Bai Xiuwen replied after hearing the words: "It's okay, I didn't get used to it at first, but I gradually got used to it."

"What major are you studying? At my age, I can't remember clearly."

"Biomedicine, astronomy, and philosophy." Bai Xiuwen said: "Actually, I also took management, but this professional course is a bit troublesome. I was in a hurry to come back, so I didn't graduate successfully."

Everyone eating silently: "..."

Everyone, the little girl who was in high school was grilling rice, squinting at Bai Xiuwen who was drinking water with downcast eyes, and muttered: "This is too handsome, I'll go..." She secretly picked up Just as I was about to secretly take a photo with my mobile phone and send it to my best friend, the man turned his head as if he had noticed it, met her eyes, nodded his head, and then turned his head back.

However, although the man didn't look at her again, he put two fingers together and swung them slightly downwards, signaling her not to take pictures.

·

Bai's father was also sitting at the side, and it was not his turn to talk at this moment. Bai's mother listened to the two chatting for a while, and whispered to her husband: "I didn't come back this year for Chinese New Year, you have to talk about it later." he."

Father Bai said abruptly, "He didn't come back last year either."

The two were whispering, but who would have thought that a question would be thrown out suddenly, and the old man asked with a serious expression: "Is there a partner everywhere?"

Although everyone present was very calm on the surface, they listened almost at the same time, and even the sound of tableware, chopsticks, knives and forks was much quieter.

Before Bai Xiuwen could speak, his mother's voice came in: "Speaking of which, Xiuwen, when do you have time recently? Your Uncle Shen's daughter has just graduated from high school and was admitted to Cambridge. It just so happened that you studied there. One year, your Uncle Shen and I want to arrange a meeting for you, and she wants to consult some related matters."

Bai Xiuwen paused, and then heard his mother say: "My name is Jingyi, she is a very quiet girl, and she is also very pretty. She should be the type you will like."

Bai Xiuwen frowned slightly. He knew his mother's intentions, but he didn't reply directly.

"The time and place can be decided by you, we won't go to the young people's gathering." Bo mother said again: "I believe you will have a lot of common language."

The old man asked, "A child of the old Shen family?"

Mother Bai smiled and said, "Yes, it's the youngest daughter of the third child in his family."

Almost everyone was waiting for Bai Xiuwen's reply, but he pursed his lower lip lightly, as if he was considering his words.After a few seconds, I only heard his statement in a leisurely manner: "—Actually, I have established a relationship and intend to maintain it for a long time."

His words were so strange that everyone fell silent for a while.In the end, it was Bai's father who said, "When will you take it home and have a look?"

Bai Xiuwen smiled: "I'm working hard."
