evenly matched

"Ring ring ring..."

The school bell is more punctual than the alarm clock of a mobile phone, and there is not a single day in 365 days.

When Chen Siyan passed by the cafeteria, he bought half a catty of puff pastry and two cups of soy milk, returned to the dormitory, and opened the door.

The room was quiet, because the curtains were all drawn, and it was completely dark, in stark contrast to the bright sunshine outside.

He put the bought lunch on the table, went to the window and opened the curtains, the light was like a sharp sword, piercing the eyes of someone on the bed.

"Close, close!" Yuan Xiao covered his eyes and waved to Chen Siyan.

"You sleep for 48 hours, get up and eat something before going back to sleep."

Yuan Xiao sniffled, barely crawled out of the bed, reached out to take the pancake handed over by Chen Siyan, and took a big bite.

"By the way," he mumbled, "Any news?"

"Drink soy milk or plain water?"

"water!"

Chen Siyan poured a glass of water and handed it to him before telling him the latest news, "The search has spread to the three surrounding urban areas, and no baby girl was found, and no report was received."

Yuan Xiao ate his breakfast in silence, crumpled up the plastic bag, and threw it into the trash can accurately, "Are your subordinates reliable, finding a child is so hard!"

"Okay, don't slap yourself in the face, you don't know how difficult this kind of work is?" Chen Siyan packed up the trash and dug out the textbooks needed for class in the afternoon, "What are your plans for this afternoon?"

"Don't even think about assigning me a task, I'm on vacation!" Yuan Xiao rolled his eyes at Chen Siyan, then went to the public washroom at the end of the corridor to wash his face with his slippers on.

Seeing him walking away, Chen Siyan took out his mobile phone from under the pillow, called up the address book, and saw Zhan Yang's name.

"It sure is him."

The anonymous call I received that night, after the hard work of the technician, finally found the number, which was the same as Zhan Yang's phone number stored in Yuan Xiao's phone.

Chen Siyan's mood is a bit complicated. How strong must a person be to be able to hide his mobile phone number?

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Chen Siyan quickly restored everything to its original state, and prepared for lessons as if nothing had happened.

"I'm going to visit a kindergarten or an orphanage." Yuan Xiao took a shower, his hair all pricked, "Maybe Yang Lu was sent to that kind of place."

Chen Siyan wanted to say that it was useless to go there. If he was really sent to that kind of place, would no one call the police?

However, since he went to X City to bring Yuan Xiao back, Yuan Xiao hasn't been out much. It's better for him to do something than spend all day in bed.

"Go ahead, the car keys are on the wall."

"Forget it, I'd rather squeeze the subway!" Yuan Xiao casually put on a T-shirt and went out.

After entering the subway, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but think of Zhan Yang when he heard that the news was still reporting the violent incident half a month ago.

After what happened last time, he finally admitted that he and Zhan Yang are not from the same world, justice and evil are the only two irreconcilable opposites in the world.Yuan Xiao felt that his idea of ​​wanting to be friends with Zhan Yang was too naive, and he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

The car arrives at the station, get off.

Yuan Xiao walked out of the subway station, and an extremely familiar car drove past him.

He turned his head and took a look. On the building not far behind him, there were two large characters "Ao Xing" pasted on it.

Yuan Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, and followed the crowd to the bus station as if he hadn't seen it.

Some circles, when they come out, it's another world.

When I was by Zhan Yang's side, could I have imagined that one day I would walk among the crowd wearing big shorts and a simple T-shirt, and the destination would be the bus station?

Yuan Xiao felt that his ability to adapt was pretty good, but within half a month, those days were like a dream, and the memories seemed to be separated by a layer of veil, so it was not clear.

After transferring from the subway to the bus, and after another five stops, Yuan Xiao finally arrived at today's destination - Nursery Orphanage.

This is a four-story brick-concrete structure house, which looks particularly old among rows of towering buildings.

Yuan Xiao looked in from outside the iron gate, and saw that the small yard was full of old items, and a few older children helped to tidy them up.

"Hello!" Yuan Xiao said to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman looked at him, walked over and asked through the iron gate, "What's the matter with you?"

Yuan Xiao fumbled in his pocket for a long time, then took out an almost unused police officer's ID and pointed it at the other party, "I want to ask, has anyone sent a baby girl here recently?"

Seeing that it was the police, the middle-aged woman had a smile on her face, but what she said disappointed Yuan Xiao, "No, our orphanage will be merged with others, and we haven't accepted children for a month."

Yuan Xiao looked behind her, "So, are you planning to move?"

"I'm packing things, these are brought out from the warehouse." The middle-aged woman saw Yuan Xiao kept looking in, so she opened the door, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

"Oh...thank you." Yuan Xiao walked into the courtyard and went straight to a big box on the ground.

The box was made of wood and looked old with mildew.

Yuan Xiao twisted the deformed lock, pinched a corner of a photo, and pulled out the whole photo.He looked at the person in the photo, frowning tightly.

"Do you know this person?" Seeing him staring at a photo in a daze, the middle-aged woman leaned over to take a look, but found nothing special.

"Can I take this away?" Yuan Xiao asked.

"This..." The middle-aged woman was a little embarrassed, "Although the owner of the things may not remember them, I have the obligation to keep them safe."

"I know this person." Yuan Xiao pointed to a boy in the photo.

The middle-aged woman took a look, "Okay, it can be regarded as returning to the original owner."

Yuan Xiao thanked her, put away the photos, and left.

In fact, his heart is far from being as calm as the surface. The photos he found should have been taken more than ten years ago, but he recognized one of them as Zhan Yang at a glance!

He never knew that Zhan Yang stayed in the orphanage, and the information Chen Siyan gave him didn't mention it!

Yuan Xiao keenly felt that there must be something hidden in this!

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Morken, could Zhan Yang really have something to do with that legendary family?

With such doubts in mind, Yuan Xiao returned to Chen Siyan's dormitory and threw the photo on the other's desk.

"What's wrong?" Chen Siyan picked up the photo, glanced at it, and guessed what Yuan Xiao wanted to ask.

Yuan Xiao propped his hands on the desk, staring at Chen Siyan aggressively, "Zhan Yang stayed in the orphanage, why is there no such entry in his file?"

Chen Siyan's answer was unexpected, "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Yuan Xiao sneered, "You can grasp Kui's information, let alone Zhan Yang who has been in China for so many years?!"

Yuan Xiao's attitude made Chen Siyan a little unacceptable. He frowned slightly, and his tone was a little majestic: "My power is not unlimited. There are many things I don't know. Is this strange?"

"But it's impossible for you not to know about Zhan Yang!" Yuan Xiao looked directly at him, "You have been in charge of his case for at least five years! Don't you know him?"

Chen Siyan stared at him for a while, then sighed, "I told you earlier, Zhan Yang is not an ordinary person. His file has been altered."

"You mean, someone hacked into the system and changed Zhan Yang's file?" Yuan Xiao thought he heard a joke.

Chen Siyan's expression was helpless, "Don't feel incredible, our system is attacked by hackers more than [-] times a day. Although there is the world's most advanced firewall, the programs are all compiled by humans, and there will always be loopholes."

Even with this explanation, Yuan Xiao still finds it inconceivable.

It is undeniable that Zhan Yang is strong, but it is a bit outrageous that he is so strong that he invades the police system and tampers with the information.

"Perhaps, there is a huge power hidden behind him." Chen Siyan returned the photo to Yuan Xiao, "What we need to do is to destroy the minions of this power in China."

"Is this the real purpose of the operation against Zhan Yang?"

"Yes." Seeing that Yuan Xiao's expression was wrong, Chen Siyan immediately reminded him sternly, "Since you have withdrawn, you can't participate anymore, you have to understand this!"

On the night when Chen Siyan picked him up, Yuan Xiao activated the virus that had been quietly implanted in Zhan Yang's laptop, but within 5 minutes, the virus was discovered and eliminated after 2 minutes.

What was wiped out along with the virus was the last friendship between him and Zhan Yang.

Yuan Xiao understood that since the moment the virus was activated, it was impossible for him and Zhan Yang to interact again.

"I know." Yuan Xiao smiled and joked, "It's just that it's the first time I used my real name to perform a mission, and I quit before I had enough fun, I'm very upset!"

Chen Siyan patted him on the shoulder, "Next time you can name it Tangyuan (Tangyuan), and you are in the same family as Yuan Xiao (Yuan Xiao)."

Yuan Xiao fell on the bed and laughed loudly. Having laughed enough, he rolled up the quilt and waved at Chen Siyan, "I'm sleepy, don't call me for dinner!"

"...Okay, I'll have a late-night snack when I'm hungry."

Chen Siyan looked at the bulging ball on the bed with a complicated expression. It seemed that Yuan Xiao hadn't changed, and he still smelled like a ruffian.

However, he always felt that something was different.

Seeing the childhood photos of Zhan Yang on the table, Chen Siyan felt a weight in his heart. He hoped that Yuan Xiao's changes had nothing to do with Zhan Yang!
