[-]. Lighting

When Chen Chen took the key to open the door, Chen Tianhang jumped up from the bed and ran to open the door.

"Xiao Chen?" Chen Tianhang asked.

"Brother, it's me."

It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, Chen Chen answered in a low voice outside the door.

Chen Tianhang opened the door and saw Chen Chen standing outside.The dim light in the corridor shone on Chen Chen's face. Chen Tianhang saw that Chen Chen had dark circles of blue to purple eyes, which did not match his fair skin.His eyes were dim, unlit, and looked tired.

Chen Chen grinned, revealing a forced smile: "Brother, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Where can I fall asleep?" Chen Tianhang said, "You don't reply to my messages, and you don't answer my calls..."

Chen Tianhang said a little unhappily: "I don't even know where you are, but where is the hospital where your mother was hospitalized?"

In fact, Chen Tianhang wasn't really angry at all, so he just casually complained, it wasn't enough, he also knew how much Chen Chen had endured these days.

"Brother, I'm sorry," Chen Chen was sorry again, with his head down, dejected.

"No," Chen Tianhang said, "how is your mother? Why did you have a sudden operation?"

"Spine..." Chen Chen said, raising his head.

"Spine?" Chen Tianhang said, "Why are you going to have surgery all of a sudden?"

"Yesterday..." Chen Chen sighed, "No, it was this morning. After I left the hospital this morning, she turned over and moved a little harder, and the injured part opened again..."

Chen Tianhang thought about Wang Xiaolan's short, somewhat hunched figure, and was injured again... What should I do... Chen Chen didn't know, and neither did Chen Tianhang.

But Chen Tianhang thought he should comfort Chen Chen, they couldn't just be depressed like this.

Chen Tianhang put his arms around Chen Chen's shoulders, thought for a while, and said, "It's just a fall, your mother will be fine, she's still young, maybe she'll recover in two days. A hundred days of injury is a bit slow Son, but it’s okay, medical technology is so advanced now, no matter how well you take care of it, eat more nutritious food..."

Chen Tianhang was babbling to himself, he didn't know what to say, he never comforted others.

Chen Chen hugged Chen Tianhang.

Chen Tianhang was stunned for a moment, and Chen Chen hugged him tightly.

"..." Chen Tianhang, who was still chattering comforting words, fell silent.

Chen Tianhang felt very stuffy and hot because of the dense moisture. He was not used to the climate in the south where the winter would be very humid.

The rain outside the window didn't seem to have stopped, pattering on the roof of Chen Chen's house, and occasionally one or two muffled thunders could be heard in the autumn night - dull loud bangs.

The room was as stuffy as a closed fish tank.

Chen Tianhang felt like a fish in this fish tank, with water everywhere, even so stuffy that he felt that he was emitting water vapor from the inside out, like a sponge soaked in the autumn rain in Chongqing.

The room was very quiet, the sound of thunder and rain was blocked by heavy curtains, only the ticking of an old-fashioned wall clock in Chen Chen's living room could be heard. echo.

It was just an ordinary voice, but it was boring and irritating to Chen Tianhang's ears.

The silence was quickly broken, along with irritation.

"Brother, you're right," Chen Chen let go, "My mom will be fine, she'll be fine soon... What matters now is what my brother sent."

Chen Tianhang nodded.

"I shouldn't think about too many things, the most important thing now is my brother, right?" Chen Chen seemed to be asking Chen Tianhang, more like talking to himself.

"Brother, what did my brother send? Have you read it?" Chen Chen said as if nothing had happened.He walked to the coffee table, picked up the thermos bottle and poured himself a glass of water.He seemed to be talking about something very casual.But Chen Tianhang saw that Chen Chen's hand holding the water glass trembled a little.

"No. What do I think if you didn't come back? You are his family." Chen Tianhang said.

"Let's take a quick look." Chen Chen was still pretending to be nonchalant.

They got into Chen Chen's room.Chen Tianhang took a pair of scissors and prepared to cut the express box.

"Brother." Chen Chen suddenly pressed Chen Tianhang's hand, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "It's okay, brother, you can open it..."

The express box was cut to pieces by Chen Tianhang. Inside were several layers of thick adhesive tape and foam, which were neatly wrapped, and there was not even a single extra corner that leaked out.

"Is this your brother's bag?" Chen Tianhang said, "How could the courier be so serious..."

It's a bit like Yao Yuan's obsessive-compulsive disorder style.

what exactly is it?Chen Tianhang wrapped Yao Yuan with layer after layer of sponge, foam, and adhesive tape until he was smashed to pieces. The more he twisted, the more irritable he felt-wrapped so seriously, this is really not a casual online shopping from a certain treasure or a certain thing. .

Sure enough, the package was a black USB flash drive, a very small one, and it was a custom-made model for Baigong Energy’s school celebration this year——the white ceramic USB flash drive was engraved with black frosted words "The [-]th Anniversary Celebration of the Energy Department of Baicheng Institute of Technology" "Remembrance" is quite delicate.

"Want to see it?" Chen Tianhang felt that he asked nonsense.

"Ok!"

Chen Tianhang felt that his own hands were trembling, and tremblingly opened his laptop.

They are presented with a blank page - a password is required.

"You want a password again?" Chen Tianhang said.It seems that there is really something here... Thinking of this level, Chen Tianhang didn't know whether it was joy or sadness for a moment.

"981020, I'll try." Chen Chen thought for a few seconds and said.

"Is it still this? Isn't this your brother's password?" Chen Tianhang asked, "It can't be the same?"

"You know that my brother is obsessive-compulsive, he only has a few passwords." Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "Brother, let me try."

He typed this string of numbers cracklingly, and it actually opened!

Chen Tianhang didn't expect that they got it right the first time!In this way, he opened the USB flash drive that was packed tightly by Yao Yuan.

At that moment, Chen Tianhang felt that both he and Chen Chen seemed to be out of breath, and they were frozen in place—they both took a long breath almost at the same time, and then slowly fixed their avoidant eyes on the opened Yao Yuan. on the page of the U disk.

Chen Tianhang hesitated for a few seconds, and finally looked squarely at the page displayed in front of them.
