withered color

"what?"

Zhong Tang was sitting in the office, holding the phone in one hand and blowing hot tea from a large vat in the other, with a haggard look on his face, it seemed that he had been working crazily for the dancer murder case for the past few days.

He stood up, walked towards Xu Liangyun, knocked lightly on his desk, and then said to the other end of the phone: "I'm tired of presenting and want to go out to meet people?"

Xu Liangyun was holding his head and was suffering from a headache. Hearing this, he raised his head.

He also looked haggard, worse than Zhong Tang, and he looked like he hadn't slept much these days.

It's about the life of Chen Yan, and he probably can't sleep well.

Zhong Tang was close to Xu Liangyun, even though his voice was not loud, Xu Liangyun could hear the conversation on the other end of the phone.

He heard the policeman guarding the gate of Chen Chen's house say, "Yes, he said he was going out to meet a very close friend, let me say hello to you..."

The relationship is very, very good.

Xu Liangyun's eyelids twitched, he tugged on Zhong Tang's sleeve, and gestured for him to turn on the speakerphone.

Zhong Tang glanced at him, twitched the corners of his eyes and brows speechlessly, and reached out to turn on the speakerphone.

He then said to the other side of the phone: "Then you can go along and report something to me."

"No...he just, well, I have to tell you..."

say what?

Xu Liangyun was inexplicably upset, and dizzy from staying up late, so he put down the pen in his left hand, picked up the cup, and took a sip of good medicine, bitter and refreshing black coffee.

Then he heard the other side of the phone say——

"He said, the two of them made an appointment in late autumn...you figure it out."

Xu Liangyun squirted out all the coffee in one sip, and it was earth-shattering.

This mouthful not only sprayed, but also choked it all in his throat. He couldn't hold it back at all, bent down and started coughing, and coughed earth-shatteringly again.

Some people around were startled by him: "Captain Xu!?"

"what happened to you!?"

A group of people crowded around to care, and the few people with senior qualifications who knew the situation all looked unsurprised and turned around to watch calmly.

Zhong Tang was also speechless.

Zhong Tang, as one of the people who witnessed the love between these two people, of course knew where Wanqiu was—to be more precise, basically everyone who lived in this city knew Wanqiu.

Late Autumn is a romantic western restaurant with candlelight dinner service. There are many set meals for couples, and they often send roses to guests. If you book in advance, they will help prepare various surprises. They play one set after another, just like couples. Heaven.

Chen Yan and Xu Liangyun used to love going there for dates.

The statement of disgust was obviously meant for Xu Liangyun, and the last sentence "you can figure it out" must have been meant for Xu Liangyun as well.

Zhong Tang was a little speechless, reached out and pulled his glasses off the bridge of his nose a bit, pinched his eyebrows again, turned his head to look at the captain of the criminal police team who was still coughing, couldn't help but sighed softly, feeling a little nervous.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, got it."

This answer was a bit like that, the policeman on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, and said: "Don't 'get it' Mr. Zhong, what should I do, let him go? ... And what happened to you, what happened to Team Xu? "

Zhong Tang was silent for a moment, put his glasses back, and said, "It's okay, he's choking on water. Why, what do you mean, he doesn't have to go?"

"No. He said that if it affects our work, he will not go."

Zhong Tang: "..."

Zhong Tang twitched the corners of his eyes, and suddenly felt like scolding his mother.

He wasn't that surprised.

After all, he is a psychology student, and with a little brainstorming, he knows that things will definitely develop like this.

Statement Yan and Xu Liangyun broke up in such a way, it must be difficult to calm down, even though I would push this kind of psychology to the bottom of my heart to make myself less sad, but human beings are not a creature that can control emotions by reason.

I am definitely not reconciled to the statement.He may not have noticed it himself, but he definitely wanted to see Xu Liangyun.

After finally having such an opportunity, how could he let it go.

So he will do it, and he will feel baffled when he does it.

But the statement that I hate this person has always been taciturn and doesn't like to cause trouble for others, and he can't accept his own work, but because of Xu Liangyun, he can't stop doing it, so he found a way out for his own work.

It's too convoluted, convoluted to death, it's even more convoluted than the full English when he was in college.

Zhong Tang sighed, thinking that falling in love is really troublesome for his grandma.

The policeman on the opposite side waited for a long time but did not wait for Zhong Tang to answer, only heard Xu Liangyun's devastating cough and Zhong Tang's sigh.

He was a little surprised, so he called out, "Mr. Zhong?"

Zhong Tang came back to his senses, pinched his eyebrows again, and said, "Let him go, keep an eye on him."

After saying this, Zhong Tang immediately reached out and hung up the phone.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as he hung his front feet, Xu Liangyun, who was coughing to death over there, stretched out his hand, grabbed his sleeve, squeezed his hoarse voice as if he was about to die on the spot, and looked at him with tearful eyes. He shouted: "No!! He's going to fuck! Don't let him go!!!"

Save yourself.

Zhong Tang rolled his eyes, didn't bother to say anything, and coped: "Okay, I see, I'll call him again—you should go to sleep, you, you haven't slept for a few days."

After saying this, Zhong Tang shook off Xu Liangyun, yawned and turned to catch up on sleep.

Zhong Tang took out his mobile phone while walking, and after looking at the call records, he stuffed the mobile phone back into his pocket.

He didn't intend to call back at all.

There is no need to fight at all.

Zhong Tang walked a few steps, then stopped, and stood at the door, with the helplessness of "Your grandfather, I have already seen through the world of mortals" written all over his face.

He counted down silently.

1--

Just as he expected, Xu Liangyun yelled in a hoarse voice: "Zhong Tang!!!"

Zhong Tang knew it, so he sighed, walked back a few steps, poked his head into the office, and looked at Xu Liangyun, whose face was flushed from coughing, and his eyes were tearing apart, like a red-faced Guan Gong.

Xu Liangyun looked at him, his lips trembling for a long time.

Half a day later, he shrank his neck, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows twitched several times, and when he spoke again, the words he said were very difficult, as if someone put a knife on his neck.

Xu Liangyun stammered: "It's... let him go..."

Zhong Tang sneered, retracted his head again, and turned away mercilessly.

He knew it.

Seeing him sneer, Xu Liangyun exploded on the spot, and shouted loudly: "Did you hear that!?!?"

Zhong Tang didn't look back: "I heard—"

Statement-hate feels very inexplicable.

Sometimes people act like they really don't make sense.

He really didn't want to see Xu Liangyun, and he knew it would be useless, but he just wanted to do it like this.

I just want to make an appointment with Zhou Dengzhou in late autumn, I want to use this question to play hard, I want to bring this matter to Zhong Tang again, let Xu Liangyun know——

After all this was done, Chen Yan nestled on the hanging chair in front of the window sill, leaned against the chair and swayed, and couldn't understand himself.

What exactly does he want?

do not know.

Then why do you do this?

do not know either.

He didn't know, but he felt inexplicably refreshed, excited, even more excited and nervous.

...Excited fart, what is there to be excited about.

Chen Yan sighed in his heart that he was a pure fucking idiot, cheap and idiot.

He was kicked by Xu Liangyun five years ago, and if he did this again five years later, it would be the same as jumping up to Xu Liangyun and asking him meanly if you still love me or not.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't hold back his face, and a sense of embarrassment arose spontaneously.

But this embarrassment just couldn't beat the inexplicable excitement and refreshment in my heart.

...go crazy, fuck.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was such a little slut.

He swayed on the chair, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he felt so tired for no reason.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of his house.

Statement Yan stood up and went to open the door.Not surprisingly, it was the police at the door who knocked on his door.

The policeman was not ambiguous, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhong said, you can go, but we have to follow."

look.

Sure enough, Xu Liangyun didn't care, he must think that the statement is very funny.

It's been five fucking years, he might have a new girlfriend - maybe a boyfriend.

The statement is tired of doing it over the phone, he must not be able to help but laugh out loud while listening.

At this moment, the excitement and refreshment that Chen Yan had come from without knowing where finally dissipated, he lowered his eyes, and after hesitantly said yes, he quickly closed the door, as if he wanted to escape from something quickly.

He closed the door, gripping the doorknob tightly, feeling his bruised hands trembling, as if he was still nervous.

But he didn't know what he was nervous about.He already knew Xu Liangyun's reaction and answer.

After a while, he finally let go of his hand.

He heard the wind howling outside, and felt that there was nothing behind him, and he could no longer hear the raging thunder and rain that year.

He turned his head and saw Pudding came at some time, sitting at his feet, looking up at him.

Statement tired of looking at it, and after a while, he gave a wry smile.

A day later, near evening, Chen Yan and Zhou Dengzhou met.

Zhou Dengzhou, who has both wife and daughter, has a rounded face after the new year, and his face is flushed with happiness written all over his face.

He smiled and said, "Oh, happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Yanan—why do you look so bad?"

Statement Yan's voice was bleak: "Because it's been a bad year."

The policeman standing by and pretending to be a passerby: "..."

Zhou Dengzhou froze for a moment: "What's the matter, what happened?"

"It's nothing." Chen Yan said, "It's just bad luck, it's not a big deal, let's go."

After hearing this, Zhou Dengzhou felt a little uneasy, and asked uneasy: "Is it really a big deal?"

The statement answered: "Really not."

"That's fine." Zhou Dengzhou said, "If something happens, please remember to tell me."

Narrator nodded.

Of course he didn't intend to say that this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Dengzhou.Zhou Dengzhou, a small sculptor, knows that such a creepy thing can't be done, it will only increase troubles.

Besides, it doesn't matter if you will be killed or not.

He sees it openly.

The two walked side by side on the street, chatting about the art exhibition they planned to hold together.

Zhou Dengzhou is very enthusiastic when he talks about holding an exhibition, and he always wants to talk about it comprehensively.This person's body language is as much as his spoken language. He always likes to dance and gesture when he speaks. When he talks about excitement, he will subconsciously hug the statement.

I've gotten used to the statement, and didn't say anything, just let him do it casually.

While Zhou Dengzhou was talking about the concept of this exhibition, he walked into a western restaurant with Chen Yan.

When he walked to the door of the store, Zhou Dengzhou was a little surprised - because this is not late autumn, it's just an ordinary western restaurant.

Zhou Dengzhou looked at Chen Yan: "Didn't you say to go to late autumn?"

Chen Yan said that going to Wanqiu was entirely to stimulate Xu Liangyun, and he didn't know why he would do that kind of thing at the time. Later, Xu Liangyun ignored him. He was very embarrassed these days, of course he wouldn't Want to go again in late fall.

When Zhou Dengzhou asked, he remembered the embarrassing experience that day again, so he twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Isn't it the same everywhere? I don't want to go to late autumn anymore. There are too many couples."

Zhou Dengzhou thought about it too, didn't ask any more questions, and followed Chen Yan into it.

The two sat down, ordered two set meals, and after returning the menu to the waiter, Zhou Dengzhou started again.

He said: "I have finished my work in the past six months, and we have to combine things. After all, sculpture and painting are not of the same type. Of course, an exhibition has the same idea and different styles, but it cannot be done at once. No way."

"I must believe in your teacher Yanan. You also know that I like you very much. I still remember that you used to have the style of blooming in the abyss. The flowers look up to the sky, and there is the kind of looking up at the stars in the mud that Wilde said Smell—but not all, you are not such a soft thing as the starry sky."

"It's not that it's not soft. I feel that in your paintings, those luminous things, the things in the abyss are holding...the light is very strong, and the flowers that bloom from the dark are also very strong."

"That's the kind...not just redeeming each other, I feel that we are still together tenaciously, especially brave, and born for each other, that's what I feel."

"But you haven't done it these years. There is no light in your paintings these years, and the tone is gray. The picture is very dark, and those things keep sinking into the abyss, sinking deeper and deeper—it's nothing wrong Okay, I feel very good, you are very good no matter what, I will always like you."

"It's far away, it's far away, and I, I just think... Really, withered things can't be saved, they can only return to ashes, how can rebirth be reborn, when it's over, it's over—"

He hadn't had time to continue when he said this, when suddenly the door of the western restaurant was pushed open in an unfriendly way.

It's really not very friendly, it was pushed open all of a sudden, and the bells hanging on the door sounded as if they were urging for their lives.

The statement was tired of listening to Zhou Dengzhou's words, and at this moment, he brought his thinking back to reality.

He pouted, turned his head and looked at the atmosphere terminator speechlessly.

The person who pushed the door in came alone.He is wearing a fisherman hat, black sunglasses, a black mask, a black windbreaker, a white shirt inside, and slim pants that line his legs very long, but his face is completely covered, and he does not show it to others .

The body is okay, but the hat doesn't match the whole body, it feels like it was robbed from someone.

Statement tired of looking at him, and froze for a moment.

After being stunned for a moment, he felt something dissipated in his heart.
