night torrent

Temporarily unable to bear force on one arm, life and work suddenly became difficult.The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to wash my face. I was frustrated. I couldn’t twist the towel with one hand. I tried to use my injured left hand. As soon as I stretched my upper arm muscles, the wound immediately protested.In the end, he had to ask Han Yi for help.

During the rush hour in the morning, the inside of the subway car is like compressed canned food, and the crowd is almost close to the face. Yan Chen leans his body sideways, pulls the ring with one hand to maintain his balance, and protects his injured arm to avoid being touched by others. Frightened.

When I arrived at the company, I turned on the computer and could only draw and type with one hand. It was even more inconvenient to look up information and turn over drawings with one hand.Zhang Bo who was sitting opposite noticed his strangeness.

"What happened to your arm?"

Zhang Bo propped his left elbow on the table and leaned over.

"I accidentally fell down yesterday and it hurts a bit."

The dressing wound was wrapped with gauze, and it was slightly raised.For this reason, Yan Chen specially chose a long-sleeved shirt made of flannel with sleeves that are not so huggable.

"If the pain is severe, go to the hospital."

"I went to the hospital last night, and the doctor said that it will be fine after a few days."

"That's good."

After lunch, Lu Yao called.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"much better."

"I didn't handle it well this time, sorry."

"I can't say it's okay, and hopefully something like this won't happen again."

"I'll give you an explanation."

"I think you should give that person an explanation."

The young man flashed before Yan Chen's eyes. He held the murder weapon in his hand, but his eyes were full of helplessness.The fear he suffered last night was still there, but after a night of precipitation, he felt pitiful for that person again.In this world, there are always those people who will never turn back for love, even at the expense of hurting others.

"I'll see you tonight."

"I'm staying at a friend's house during this time. You guys met last night. Let's meet again after a while."

"Well, if you need anything, please let me know."

"I see. It's almost time, I hung up."

There is an hour's break at noon, and the electronic clock hanging on the wall of the tea room shows that it is 53:[-].

"Are you in the company now?"

"Ah."

"Is the injury on your arm a hindrance to your work?"

"fine.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Chen returned to his seat.

There is not much work on the desk. The project was closed some time ago, and relevant documents and drawings have been handed in.If he was injured when he worked overtime to catch up with the progress, Yan Chen would not be able to handle it with one arm at all.

The work assigned to each person has a time limit, and the workload is not randomly assigned. How many man-hours and manpower a project requires is calculated.If someone can't keep up with the schedule, they can only stay in the company and work overtime voluntarily until they catch up with the time.So even though he was injured, Yan Chen was a little lucky.

When it was time to get off work, Yan Chen turned off the computer, tidied up the documents and materials spread out on the table, punched his card with Zhang Bo and the others, and took the elevator downstairs.

Han Yi sent a WeChat message saying that he was going to leave work late.Yan Chen said goodbye to his colleagues and walked out of the company gate towards the nearby subway station.Unexpectedly, a figure walked out from under the shadow of a tree next to him, Yan Chen was caught off guard and startled, and it was even worse when he took a closer look.The person standing in front of him was none other than the young man who hurt him yesterday.

"Are your hands okay?"

"What do you want to do?"

Yan Chen's whole body tensed up, showing a look of guard.

"I won't do anything to hurt you again. I regret what happened last night. I want to apologize to you?"

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk."

This is the only way to go to the subway station, but after the rush hour of commuting, there are few people.Although the young man in front of him had a dejected face and looked harmless to humans and animals, Yan Chen still had a fresh memory of his ferocity last night.

The young man obediently followed Yan Chen's footsteps and came to a brightly lit coffee shop by the side of the road.The two sat down facing each other, the young man looked pitiful for doing something wrong and waiting to be reprimanded by the head teacher.He lowered his head quietly, so Yan Chen didn't notice that he was sobbing at first.

"I'm sorry, I know I did a lot of bad things, and I hurt you last night. I also know it's wrong to do things like this, but I just can't control myself, and when I get emotional..."

"Okay, wipe your tears first."

The appearance of the young man attracted the attention of the people in the shop, Yan Chen comforted him with a soft tone.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

"Tannin, 23 years old."

With a slender chin and a frail body, he is not so much a young man, but more like an inexperienced teenager.Yan Chen couldn't help sighing.

"You like Lu Yao very much?"

"Mr. Lu is very kind to me. Every time he comes to the store, he will greet me and praise my improvement in bartending skills..."

Speaking of Lu Yao, Tan Ning's expression became vivid and soft, and he talked more.Yan Chen saw it in his eyes, but he didn't think so in his heart.It seems that Tan Ning was completely confused by Lu Yao's gentle appearance.In this modern city, there are not a few men wearing high-end suits, but most of them have a sense of incongruity in their limbs and the straight suits on their bodies.Lu Yao was dressed in a decent suit, which matched his elegant demeanor, so people couldn't help but look at him more.I was also confused by his appearance at first.Most of the people's appearance does not match with the inside, this is the truth that Yan Chen only comprehended after experiencing some events.

"You slept with him?"

"I... I don't have that kind of relationship with Mr. Lu."

Tanning's face flushed, and his voice changed.

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

Yan Chen was speechless secretly, he preconceived that Dan Ning was one of Lu Yao's many lovers.

"You have done a lot of research on me, otherwise you wouldn't even know about my friend's family. So how much do you know about Lu Yao?"

"I know he was married, had a daughter, had lovers come and go..."

"Since you know everything, why did you come to me? Or have you threatened those people around Lu Yao?"

"Those people are just one-night stands, but you are different. Mr. Lu brought you back to his apartment, invited you to dinner, and even traveled to Hangzhou. This has never happened before!"

Tanning clenched his fists tightly, showing a painful expression.

"When I first saw you, I had a bad premonition, but I didn't expect it to come true."

"What do you mean?"

"Did Mr. Lu tell you that he had a lover named Ye Yuqing when he was in college?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

Suddenly, Yan Chen remembered that Hao Lian had mentioned this name at the dinner table, and Lu Yao seemed unwilling to talk about it at the time.

"I've seen pictures of him taken in college. He looks a bit like you."

Tan Ning's black eyes flashed maliciously, and the impression he gave also changed, which made Yan Chen feel scared.

"How do you know? It's all made up by you."

"It's easy to know everything on the Internet."

Tanning drank the cold coffee in one gulp, the golden sunset shone on him through the window, he squinted his eyes with a demure look.

Coming out of the coffee shop, Yan Chen boarded the subway. In the rickety carriage, Yan Chen thought about what happened before and after this time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this tanning was terrifying and impermanent.

At first glance, he looks like a gentle and quiet young man with a weak appearance, but the words he sent are so vicious, and his behavior is even more unpredictable.Yan Chen could clearly feel his hatred for him when he was wielding a knife, but his helplessness was so real when he was crying and apologizing just now, but when he rolled his eyes, he changed his tone again, and his words were provocative inside and out curiosity.

After the subway arrived at the station, Yan Chen immediately called Lu Yao.Lu Yao must have sent people all over the world to look for Dan Ning. Who would have thought that the person concerned would swagger around the company and wait for him to come out.

"what happened?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Lu Yao asked.

"I just met Tanning."

"where is it?"

"He was waiting for me downstairs in my company, and I met him as soon as he came out."

"What did he say?"

Lu Yao was nervous, and it seemed that this tanning had caused him a lot of pressure.

"Let's meet and talk. I'll wait for you downstairs in your apartment."

"Okay, I'll be right over here."

Twenty minutes later, a dark blue Cadillac with sharp lines drove into the narrow alleyway.

"Have you been waiting long?"

Lu Yao closed the car door and walked quickly to Yan Chen.

The two went up the spiral staircase one after the other.Lu Yao opened the door, and Yan Chen followed him into the room.The furnishings in the house are still monotonous, but a little messier than before.There were a lot of cups and saucers piled up in the sink, and the quilt on the bed was still in the same state as when I got up early.

"Want something to drink?"

"no need."

The two sat down on the sofa.Yan Chen told the story of meeting Dan Ning.

"Am I really similar to your classmate?"

Yan Chen asked tentatively.

Lu Yao smiled, got up and walked to the bookshelf to search, and soon he handed Yan Chen a thick photo album.

"This is a photo taken when I went out to play in college."

He opened the album, and the photos were slightly yellowed. Lu Yao pointed to one of them and said, "This is Ye Yuqing."

In the photo, a handsome young man stood under the shade of willows with a slight smile. The simple white shirt and black trousers could not conceal the young man's aura. "Not at all."

Yan Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

Lu Yao tilted his head, staring blankly at Yan Chen's profile.

"My ex-wife also received a letter and photos."

"What the hell is Tanning trying to do?"

The more Yan Chen thought about it, the more he felt chills down his spine. Dan Ning's behavior could not be guessed with ordinary people's thinking. Yan Chen was afraid that one day his family would receive these malicious letters.

"The source is with me, and I will give you an explanation."

"I don't want an explanation! What I want is to stop here."

Yan Chen became restless, and his voice became louder.The voice echoed in the small space, and Yan Chen couldn't help being taken aback.

"Let's have something to drink."

After a moment of silence, Lu Yao stood up and said.

Lu Yao went to the kitchen, Yan Chen lowered his head, his left arm ached.

After a while, Lu Yao came back and handed Yan Chen a glass of amber whiskey.

"Drink."

Yan Chen held the cup and hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Yao and said, "Let's stop here."

As soon as the words were spoken, the previous hesitation immediately disappeared without a trace, and Yan Chen's mind became more determined.He and Lu Yao can't even talk about feelings. Now that a lunatic has been killed halfway, it's meaningless to procrastinate like this. It's better to make a decision early.

If you can't afford to mess with it, you can always hide it.

Lu Yao drank the remaining wine in the glass in one go, and spit out the word "good".He reached out and poured himself a second glass.Yan Chen didn't realize it for a moment, and stayed for a while, Lu Yao had already drank his second glass of wine, and after a while, Lu Yao became slightly drunk.
