Baizhou

As soon as the door opened, Pea rushed out excitedly.

"You guys are back. Doudou ran to the door when she heard the sound." Mama Sang came out behind Pea, seeing Baizhou carrying a big bag and a small bag in her hand, she quickly took it over, muttering, "Again After buying so many things, I have already said that I have everything at home, and I don’t lack anything.”

Pea enthusiastically threw herself at Sang Yang, and the three of them entered the house. Sang Yang comforted Pea and said, "The things I bought when I was traveling are all small things."

Mama Sang went to put everything away, and brought out all the food from the house, put it in front of the two children, and kept asking them to eat.

Bai Zhou was pushing Pea's head.

Pea stuck out her tongue and insisted on rubbing against them affectionately, as if she hadn't seen her for a few days, how much she missed her.

"Doudou misses you so much." Sang's mother said, "I wait by the door every day, just waiting for you to pick it up."

When they went on a trip, they couldn't bring peas with them, so they had to send it to Sang Yang's parents' house.

Bai Zhou almost believed it, if he hadn't seen the messy toys on the floor in the living room, and Pea's obviously fatter flesh.

"Where's Dad? Going out again?" Sang Yang chatted with his mother.

"I went to Lao Zhou's house. I said I was borrowing some books. I will be back in the evening. You can eat at home before leaving. Mom will make turtle soup for you and make up for it. I think Xiaozhou has lost weight again." Sang's mother said Then she started nagging, holding Bai Zhou's hand and looking left and right, no matter how you looked at it, she felt that she had lost weight.

When Bai Zhou heard this, he frowned, and complained softly to Sang's mother: "I'm not thin, I've gained a lot of weight, and Yangyang bought a lot of food for me, and I have a small pot on my stomach."

As she spoke, she pinched her stomach through her clothes to show Mama Sang that what she said was true.

"No way." Sang's mother stretched out her hand and pinched it, only to pinch the clothes. She was even more dissatisfied, and she nagged twice, and raised her voice, which increased her momentum a lot.

Bai Zhou had no choice but to nod, and even wavered in the end. When Mama Sang went to prepare dinner, he asked Sang Yang in a low voice, "Am I really thin?"

Sang Yang suppressed a smile and nodded seriously: "Yeah, so you can't eat well."

When traveling in other cities, all kinds of food will tempt the appetite. In the past few days, Bai Zhou tasted all kinds of snacks, but he didn't touch a few meals.

Hearing Sang Yang say the same thing, Bai Zhou hesitated even more. He was very face-saving at dinner and filled an extra bowl of rice, which made Sang's mother smile with joy.

When they got home at night, Bai Zhou let out a long breath and started playing around with Pea, who was equally excited.

Sang Yang went to the kitchen to put away the food brought from home, and disposed of the spoiled food in the refrigerator. She tidied up the inside and out, and just after cleaning up, she saw Bai Zhou and Pea together messing up the living room again. , she had no choice but to call her: "Xiaozhou."

One person and one dog stopped together, looking at Sang Yang in unison.

"Go wash up." Sang Yang smiled.

Pea gave a "bark", Bai Zhou patted it on the head, and obediently went upstairs.

The house really reflects the popularity. I only left for a few days. When I opened the door, I felt deserted. However, after Bai Zhou and Pea jumped up and down and played around for a while, the desertedness was dispelled in an instant. Clean, one person and one dog created a lively scene that turned against the sky.

Sang Yang picked up the knotted toys on the ground, threw the broken ones into the trash can, put the good ones into the cardboard box, and then went to the studio.

While traveling, Bai Zhou took on a big project and was about to start work tomorrow, and she had to go back to work tomorrow.

Sang Yang tidied up the studio, dealt with the empty paints, added new ones, and checked whether the drawing paper was enough.

When she got to the side of the dark green sofa, she paused, feeling a little dazed.

It has been No. 11 days, nothing abnormal, and life has completely returned to its previous appearance.

Mom whined and complained that Xiaozhou was getting thinner again.

Pea ran up and down to play.

Xiaozhou is no longer frowning, he will laugh happily, worry in a low voice whether he has gained weight, and play with pea happily while despising it.

All these made her wonder whether the events that happened in another time and space were just a terrible nightmare, or just an illusion created by her imagination.

Especially after going on a trip, the sense of separation is even stronger after returning.

Sang Yang sat down on the dark green sofa and touched the armrest lightly. The soft fabric slid over her palm, making her feel a little itchy. The smile, and the strength with which she held her tightly.

Sang Yang's hands were slowly closed, feeling increasingly uneasy in his heart.

As if being stared at by something in the dark, I don't know when, I will be engulfed by the sudden danger.

Sang Yang closed the door of the studio, and Pea fell asleep in her nest. Hearing the movement, she raised her head and glanced. When she saw it was her, she lay back again, and slowly wagged her tail twice as a greeting.

When Sang Yang went upstairs, Bai Zhou had finished washing and changed the bed sheets into clean ones. She was sitting on the bed, reading a collection of paintings she bought while traveling, and seeing Sang Yang coming up, she raised her head with a smile and urged her: "Hurry up!" Go to sleep."

There was no trace of haze in her smile, she looked carefree, as if sleeping with Sang Yang was the most important thing.

Sang Yang originally wanted to discuss his worries with her, but at this moment he couldn't help but hold back. There is no trace of things, even if they discuss it, they can't come to any results, so why let Xiaozhou worry about it.

She said "yes" and went to the bathroom.

When she came out, Bai Zhou had already warmed the quilt. As soon as Sang Yang lay down, she dropped the album, turned off the light, hugged Sang Yang into her arms, sighed comfortably, and then gently Ask: "Any five more days?"

She asked nonchalantly, and Sang Yang was so preoccupied that he didn't react for a while: "What?"

"snow."

Sang Yang suddenly said: "Yes, there are still five days." She smiled, turned around, and faced Bai Zhou face to face, touched her face with a little light outside the window, and said warmly: "I have to go to work that day. , I can’t play with you in the snow, but there will be a second game soon, and the second game will be thicker, and then we will take Peas to the countryside to play, okay?”

Bai Zhou likes snow very much. They discussed how to spend the snow day a while ago, but when she heard Sang Yang's arrangement at this time, she didn't see much joy, but frowned: "I will send you to work every day Yes, I will pick you up at night."

Sang Yang was stunned for a moment, and Bai Zhou sighed softly: "It would be great if I could keep an eye on you."

Sang Yang understood that Xiaozhou, like her, was also worried about unknown dangers, but they didn't say anything.

After Bai Zhou finished speaking, they fell silent at the same time, because it was useless to look at each other. For example, a sudden car accident, such as an unsuspecting medical emergency, were unexpected events, and they didn't even know how to prepare for them. be on guard.

In the end, Sang Yang smiled first, patted her head, and said, "Go to sleep, good night."

When she was thinking about those things in the studio, she was actually a little lonely, because she had personally experienced those things, but Bai Zhou didn't, so maybe Bai Zhou couldn't understand her fear.

At this time, I realized that she was also thinking about this matter all the time, and the feeling of loneliness disappeared.

Anyway, another safe day.

Every day after that, Bai Zhou would pick up Sang Yang to and from get off work, and when she picked up Sang Yang in the hospital parking lot at night, she would ask if anything unusual happened, and the answers she got were all negative.

She will breathe a long sigh of relief, and then take Sang Yang home.

When Sang Yang found out, Bai Zhou was very worried, but she was living and working well most of the time. The studio was filled with the smell of paint, and brushes were thrown everywhere. She would make dinner every day and take Sang Yang home.

Evening meals are often very rich and obviously well prepared.

Sometimes she is too busy and forgets the time to cook. After picking up Sang Yang, Sang Yang can still see her wearing an apron in the kitchen, frantically putting ingredients into the pot, and at the same time apologetically following her. She said: "I forgot in a hurry, you can eat something else to pad your stomach first, and this side will be fine soon."

After dinner, they would take Pea for a walk. That was the time when Bai Zhou was most enthusiastic. She would bring toys, play with Pea on the lawn, and sometimes sit on the side of the road with Sang Yang, looking at the few birds in the sky. a few stars.

She likes rivers, mountains and rivers, the starry sky, the breeze and the bright moon, and is often fascinated when looking up at the night sky.Sang Yang looked at her focused profile, and she felt a strange feeling.

She felt that she was walking on a road full of darkness, and there were many traps on the road, and inside the traps was a bottomless abyss.The trap may be right in front of her, or it may be far away. She didn't know when she stepped into the trap and fell to pieces. She should have been afraid, but Bai Zhou was like a little firefly.

She is so weak and helpless in the dark, but she tries to shine, warms her, illuminates the way ahead for her, and follows her without hesitation, even if there is an abyss from which she will never return Accompany her complainingly.

A warm hand was pressed to her cheek, and Bai Zhou stopped looking at the night sky at some point, but stared at her intently.

"Your face is so cold." She said softly, took off her scarf and wrapped it around Sang Yang, "Next time I will walk the peas by myself, so don't come out with me."

As soon as the scarf was taken off, her neck was filled with wind. Sang Yang hurriedly wanted to return it to her. Bai Zhou turned up the collar and pulled the zipper to the top, then took Sang Yang's hand and put it in his pocket , the pocket is warm.

"It's going to snow soon, can I build a snowman in the yard? You can see it when you get off work." Bai Zhou asked, her tone was brisk and full of expectation.

Sang Yang knew that she wanted to do her best to make her live a happier life in such a depressing life.

She nodded and smiled, "Okay."

But before it snowed, a party came first.

It was winter, and the hospital was extremely busy. There were flu patients everywhere. Jiang Yuan was suffocated by the atmosphere, yelling that if there were no more entertainment activities, she would die of depression.

Others thought so too, so they hit it off and organized an impromptu dinner the next day.

Their habit of having dinner together started in college. After graduation, most of their classmates stayed in the city, so they kept the frequency once or twice a year, and their relationship has been maintained well.

The location is still set at a restaurant near the medical school. Over the years, the restaurant has been renovated several times, but the taste of the dishes has never changed. It is affordable and delicious.

Because Jiang Yuan wanted to see the dog, Sang Yang contacted the owner of the restaurant and confirmed that pets were allowed, so she put on thick clothes and a scarf for Pea, and took her with her.

When they arrived, everyone else was almost there.

The heating in the private room was fully turned on, and everyone took off their hats and scarves.

Once Pea entered, she was warmly welcomed and hid behind Sang Yang somewhat at a loss.

Bai Zhou went to put their scarves away, and when he came back, he heard Jiang Yuan squatting on the ground, clapping her hands to tease Pea over, and said, "Why are you shy and shy like Xiao Zhou, and hide behind you when you are scared?" .”

Everyone else laughed, Bai Zhou pretended not to hear, and sat beside Sang Yang.

"Let's serve." A classmate gestured to the waiter who came in.

Jiang Yuan touched a couple of peas and said that it felt good. She also considered raising a pet, and asked Bai Zhou what he should pay attention to when raising a dog.

Bai Zhou told her in detail how to feed, how to develop good habits, and how to train some simple passwords. Many students around him also wanted to keep pets, and they were all attracted by her and turned to listen to her.

Sang Yang poured two cups of hot water, put one cup against her palm, and put the other cup next to her. Like everyone else, she listened carefully to her narration.

Just like what Jiang Yuan said, when Xiao Zhou came to the party with her for the first time, he was shy and shy. When she walked away for a while, Xiao Zhou would look for her everywhere, which made Jiang Yuan always tease her, saying that she I'm in a hurry when I don't reach my sister.

But now she is familiar with everyone, can fully integrate, and talks about interesting things with such enthusiasm as now.

"It's too troublesome, how much work will it take." A boy shook his head repeatedly.

Another person also agreed with him: "There is no time to raise so meticulously, it is better to raise a cat, the cat is much more relaxed."

"No, no, it's still a cute dog."

"The cat is cute."

As we talked, it suddenly turned into a debate about whether to keep a cat or a dog.

Bai Zhou was still out of the situation, unable to react, wasn't he talking about how to raise a dog?

Sang Yang smiled lightly, Bai Zhou looked up at her, and Sang Yang reached out to stroke her hair.

The waiter came in with cold dishes. Jiang Yuan was looking at the menu. He called the waiter to the side and added a few dishes that Bai Zhou liked. We had more gatherings together, and we all knew each other's tastes more or less. Take care of Bai Zhou.

The conversation about raising cats and dogs was over, and they chatted about other things. A girl seemed to think of something, and called Bai Zhou happily from a distance of several people: "I forgot to say, I have a friend who is your fan." , asked me to bring you a message, saying that the art exhibition was held wonderfully, she went there once by herself, and then took her friends there twice, if it wasn’t for the three-day exhibition, she could go there several times.”

Hearing her mention the art exhibition, Bai Zhou's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Really? Then thank her for me, and I can sign her if necessary."

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and several students booed, saying that they could not be called small painters in the future, but should be called great painters.They are all well-intentioned. After all, they have seen Bai Zhou's efforts. Now that she has succeeded, everyone is very happy for her.

"She definitely wants to, and she complained to me, saying that you went too late on the first day, and you brought a middle-aged man with you, and she didn't find a chance to talk to you, but she took a photo of you and was happy It’s been a long time.” The girl said as she took out her mobile phone and opened the photo to show Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou went up to look, and found that she was secretly photographed from the side, and Fang Sheng standing next to her. It should be that morning, she just walked in with Fang Sheng, and she hasn't found anyone to arrange work for Fang Sheng. when.

Bai Zhou sighed, returned the phone to her, and pretended to be deep: "The photos are not as good as my own."

Others also booed and wanted to see it, and the photos were circulated around. When the conversation was in full swing, the door of the private room opened again.

Sang Yang turned her head subconsciously, and saw Zhou Yan hurried in.

Immediately, someone spotted her and shouted for a fine drink: "Those who are late will be fined three drinks!"

Zhou Yan took off her scarf, sat on the empty seat next to Xu Songyi, without saying much, picked up the wine glass and drank it heartily.

The alcohol content was not high, but she drank it very quickly, and soon her face flushed a little.

After drinking, she put the wine glass on the table, and complained with her forehead: "I'm done working overtime, it's annoying me to death, I've been working overtime for a week."

When everyone heard that they were working overtime, they all expressed their understanding, and some gossiped, asking her, "What's the matter? There's another case?"

Zhou Yan glanced at the man: "I found a corpse in the river around the city this morning. It was soaked to pieces. During the autopsy..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by everyone: "Okay, okay, stop talking, do you want to eat?"

Zhou Yan smiled and shrugged.

Bai Zhou held Sang Yang's hand and hid it under the table. Sang Yang was a little absent-minded since this man came in.

She remembered that Sang Yang told her that in the last time and space, a forensic classmate helped her identify the substance on the nail as blood, and she also told her that Fang Sheng was driving tired.

It was as if there was an invisible film separating them from the laughter of others, and both of them felt depressed.

Sang Yang shook Bai Zhou back, smiled at her, and signaled that she was fine.

Over there, Jiang Yuan asked, "Has there been any interesting cases recently?"

The dishes on the table are almost ready, and they are warm, and the heating in the room is sufficient. Without looking at the swaying tree shadows outside the window, it is almost impossible to feel the traces of winter.

They also ordered a lot of wine, those with low alcohol content drank low-alcohol sake, and those with high alcohol capacity casually.

Zhou Yan thought for a while: "There are quite a lot of cases recently, which are interesting..." She pondered for a while, then clapped her hands, "There is one."

Everyone looked at her.

Real cases are easy to arouse people's interest, not to mention there is an interesting premise.

"A few days ago, a kidnapped child was found, and her sister was notified to identify her relatives. There were many people in the Public Security Bureau, and my sister recognized her in the crowd at a glance." Zhou Yan threw out a sentence first.

Jiang Yuan asked enthusiastically, "And then?"

"There is no more, just this matter, it is very interesting."

Everyone booed: "What's so interesting about this, isn't it normal for family members to recognize it?"

Zhou Yan said softly: "If the abducted child was only three years old when he was lost, he would be 23 years old when he was found."

The people who booed just now all fell silent. After imagining the difference between the age of three and the age of 23, they realized that it was quite interesting.

"It's amazing to be able to recognize this." Someone said with emotion.

"Sisters are different from ordinary people." Xu Songyi said nonchalantly, "Blood is connected, even if we haven't seen each other for 20 years, it's not surprising that the crowd recognizes them at once."

Immediately someone answered: "Oh, yes, there is a similar thing at our house..."

The topic turned to how wonderful the blood relationship between relatives is. Bai Zhou and Sang Yang didn't have similar sentiments, but it seemed quite interesting to hear everyone talking about it.

Zhou Yan listened casually. She didn't eat anything after drinking three glasses of wine at the beginning, but she drank a few more glasses of wine. Xu Songyi stood beside her and put some vegetables into her bowl.

"No more, I can't eat." She shook her head, signaling Xu Songyi not to add more food to her, and then she saw Bai obediently staying by Sang Yang's side, listening to the increasingly outrageous blood anecdotes with his eyes wide open. Boat.

"That kid." Zhou Yan thought she was interesting, so she called out to her.

She seldom comes to dinner parties, and she is not very familiar with Bai Zhou.

When Bai Zhou heard someone calling her, she looked over. Seeing that it was the forensic doctor, she subconsciously took precautions and leaned closer to Sang Yang.

The forensic doctor laughed, not only her, but other people who noticed this scene were also full of smiles.

"Just now you said Pea was shy and shy like you, so you hid behind your sister again." Jiang Yuan smiled angrily.

Bai Zhou didn't want to hide behind Sang Yang, she wanted to argue, but Sang Yang smoothed things over for her: "She's just a little sleepy."

When she said this, Bai Zhou really felt groggy and drowsy. She drank two glasses of sake, and then drank the glutinous rice wine that was just served. The glutinous rice wine was sweet and delicious, and she drank a lot in one go.

She simply leaned on Sang Yang's shoulder.

"Actually, when you first got together, many people didn't like it." A classmate said suddenly.

Bai Zhou immediately regained consciousness, sat up straight, and looked at the man with some ferocity in his eyes.Sang Yang quickly touched the back of her neck to make her not nervous.Bai Zhou leaned back on her shoulder again.

The classmate smiled and shook his head.

It's just that he made such a head start, and Jiang Yuan also sighed: "I also persuaded Yang Yang at the time, how old Bai Zhou is, it seems unreliable at first glance, don't end up having a girlfriend and turning into raising a child."

Bai Zhou who had just been soothed immediately sat up straight again, staring at Jiang Yuan covetously, Jiang Yuan let her vigilant look lose her temper: "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay?"

Only then was Bai Zhou satisfied, and leaned back on Sang Yang.

Sang Yang filled a bowl of soup for her with one hand, put it in front of her, patted her, and asked her to drink.Bai Zhou sat up straight, picked up the bowl, drank it slowly, then leaned into Sang Yang's ear, and whispered, "I'm really sleepy, so I won't drink that glutinous rice wine next time."

"Go home and go straight to bed later." Sang Yang also comforted her in a low voice.

Bai Zhou nodded, thinking the idea was great.

They were whispering, and it was still the classmate who said that many people were not optimistic about it just now, and he said again: "But now, everyone envies you."

When they said they were not optimistic, Bai Zhou could still stare back fiercely, but when he said he was envious, Bai Zhou didn't know what to say.

She has always known that Sang Yang's friends and classmates don't think they are suitable, but she doesn't think there is anything, anyway, she likes Sang Yang, not them, she doesn't need to prove anything to others, she just needs Sang Yang to like She, too, likes her love on it.

A girl heard this and said in surprise: "Are you only envious now? I have envied them for a long time. To be fair, I have never seen anyone who is more suitable and in love with them."

Xu Songyi looked across the table.

The students who were still discussing the wonderful blood relationship over there also joined in after hearing the movement here.

"In seven years, my boyfriend has changed three times. They haven't shown signs of getting bored at all, and their relationship is too good."

"I lost my relationship last year, and I asked Yang Yang for advice on how to maintain the novelty for so many years."

The topic suddenly turned into admiration for the two of them, and everyone sincerely felt incredible and longed for it.

Bai Zhou became more and more at a loss. She approached Sang Yang, feeling that they were surrounded by friends and blessed her. She felt very happy and dazedly grabbed Sang Yang's hand.

Sang Yang was the same as her. Seeing that she was really shy, she went to change the topic.

Until the end of the party, the table was messed up.

Someone went to pay the bill, someone called a surrogate driver, put on their scarves and hats, and prepared to leave.

Bai Zhou's face was flushed red by the heating and alcohol in the room. She took Pea and lowered her head to ask Sang Yang to put a scarf on her. Sang Yang tied a beautiful knot for her, then touched her face, and took the scarf. With the leash in her hand, Bai Zhou leaned on her shoulder.

"Be careful next time, don't drink so much." Sang Yang warned, but the tone was not too strong, it seemed to be just a suggestion, and it didn't matter if Bai Zhou didn't want to follow it.

Bai Zhou leaned half on her body and said obediently, okay.

Everyone walked out of the private room together, and when they reached the hall, they suddenly heard an angry shout: "You don't have eyes?"

People passing by inevitably stopped and looked over there.

I saw a rather burly man pushing away a boy who looked like a college student. There was a woman standing next to him. Forget it, I'm fine."

The college student also apologized, but the man still relentlessly grabbed his collar and pushed him several times cursingly before carefully leaving with his arms around his wife.

Just a small episode.

Sang Yang froze in place.

Bai Zhou stood beside her until they had disappeared before asking, "What's the matter? Do you know them?"

There seemed to be stars falling in Sang Yang's eyes. She looked at Bai Zhou and murmured, "It's him..."

"Who?" Bai Zhou blurted out, and as soon as the words fell, she suddenly realized who it was, looked at Sang Yang, and said with difficulty, "It's that..."

Doctor trouble?

She didn't say it, but Sang Yang knew what she wanted to say, and confirmed her guess: "It's him."

The person who killed Bai Zhou in the last time and space.

They have already walked out of the gate, and the glass door is filled with thick water vapor, and their figures are no longer visible.Bai Zhou looked back, said "Oh" lightly, and said, "He's so impulsive and fierce, it's really easy to get into conflict with people."

Say goodbye to everyone else and head back to your car.

Meeting this murderer affected them somewhat.

After many days without any abnormalities, they ran into these related people again, first Zhou Yan, and then the doctor.

Like a bad omen.
