lost year

After leaving the lawn and walking onto the sidewalk, Ning Xi couldn't help but look back.

The night was dense and foggy, and it was already hazy behind him, but he always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him and Chen Yi in the fog.

In fact, he already knew who the person behind the bushes was when he heard the question. He had lived in a dormitory for so long, and he was still very familiar with Wang Jun's voice. The amount of information contained in the vague words that fell into his ears was a bit large, and he was inexplicably puzzled. After thinking about it, he replied "It's me" and moved closer quietly. It was only then that she managed to see through the fog that the crying girl was Wen Xuan.

The two seemed to have a dispute, and through the mist, they could see that the makeup on Wen Xuan's face was smudged, and she was no longer as bright as usual, and she was very embarrassed.

Seeing him and Chen Yi, Wang Jun froze for a moment, Wen Xuan reacted even more, his expression was struck by lightning, his sobbing sound seemed to be cut suddenly with a pair of sharp scissors, his face turned red like ocher.

It was not what Ning Xi wanted to embarrass others, so he quickly took a step back, smiled apologetically and explained, "...Chen Yi and I are going back to the dormitory, passing by."

After regaining his senses, Wang Jun looked at him and Chen Yi, nodded slowly, and then smiled.

After a bit of mist and backlight, Wang Jun's facial features seemed a little blurred, but his eyes were particularly bright.

The two had been dating for a long time in school, and Ning Xi had heard of it, since they were lovers, it was not easy for outsiders to intervene in what happened between them, so he and Chen Yi didn't stay any longer, and after the fight, Leave quickly after greeting.

I just don't know why, but I always feel weird in my heart. After walking more than ten meters, I still feel like a glow on my back and a chill on my back.

Seeing that Ning Xi's expression was wrong, Chen Yi asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go." Ning Xi shook her head and smiled at him.

The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see anything from the bushes, let alone the figures inside. Even if Wang Jun was looking in this direction, he could only see a cloud of gray fog, which is really unnecessary.. ....

Probably, it was his illusion.

The bright dormitory building is not far away, the two stopped talking and walked forward in big strides.

In fact, Ning Xi was not an illusion just now, but a keen sixth sense.

Because Wang Jun has indeed been staring at the direction where he left, even through the mist, even if his and Chen Yi's backs have long since disappeared.

The number of times the two have dealt with each other can be counted on the fingers of one hand recently. Yan Xiao didn't ask Wang Jun out on a yacht last time. After that, although everyone greeted them politely when they met, Wang Jun never took the initiative to show love to them again. Xiao was very busy, so he didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't respond to it. Ning Xi and him had always had a close relationship, and he didn't think it affected him.

Such an attitude was undoubtedly another blow to Wang Jun's arrogant and fragile self-esteem.

Sensing someone approaching, and seeing that the person appearing in the vast white mist turned out to be Ning Xi, for a moment, the dark emotion in Wang Jun's mind was so strong that it almost burst out of his eyes, and the resentment was so strong that the person whose arm was clamped by him Wen Xuan couldn't help shivering when she accidentally saw it.

Where does hatred come from?No one knows, probably in the world of crows, the whiteness of a swan is a sin.

The outline of Ning Xi's whole body, which was approached by street lights in the distance, gave off a faint halo, clean and clear, and even Chen Yi who was following behind him looked very elegant, but Wang Jun, at this moment, really, really didn't want to Seeing such a clean two people.

Because it made him feel as if he was covered with something from the inside to the outside, and he couldn't breathe.

And recently he was in a bad mood, so bad that he had no mood at all.

After answering calls all day long, his eyes were already reddened by the pressure of heavy debts. When he asked Wen Xuan for money, he only had one word on his mind - money.

He wanted money, and he wanted it so badly, his eyes were staring at him, and he didn't hesitate to show his embarrassment.

There is no way to recover from the sudden loss of futures. If those debts cannot be resolved, his life will be over.

Wen Xuan is the life-saving rope that can save him from desperation.

He had already set several hidden mailboxes to be automatically sent, and if he canceled them from time to time, the videos and photos would be anonymously sent to the major media. He knew that Wen Xuan would never want those things to be exposed.

For the wealthy little princess of the Wen family, every cosmetic bag is in units of [-]. It shouldn't be too difficult to help him pay off his debts. The big deal is that when he turns over in the future, he will return the money to Wen Xuan. I will love her more when we get along in the future.

However, what I didn't expect was that since Wen Xuan's snacks, clothing, housing, and transportation have been arranged by someone, the monthly bills of the credit card are sent directly to her mother without her worrying, and the pocket money in the wallet is only used as a backup. And personal funds, but those are also managed by family members. She has never touched such a large amount of funds, and there is no way to make up the amount he needs in a few days.

Behind the dark and hidden green plants, Wen Xuan's expression of shock and despair caused Wang Jun's heart to sink to the bottom of the valley again.

If you are already so frightened and still shake your head and say there is no way, then it is really impossible.

But what about the damn debt?

Time is running out.

Seeing that hope was about to be shattered again, the tight thread in Wang Jun's head snapped with a "chuckle", and his whole body seemed to fall into the ice cellar again, about to be swallowed by the boundless darkness.

Just then, Ning Xi came.

So good-looking, with perfect appearance, figure and temperament.

Wang Jun suddenly remembered the rumors that the rich second generations in the student union had chatted in private——

Yan Xiao really likes Ning Xi to the bottom of his heart. In order to vent his anger on Ning Xi, he took away Fu Cheng and ruined the Zhang family. In order to let Ning Xi study comfortably, he will spend at least tens of millions on the school every year. Big S, you can't mess with Ning Xi if you mess with anyone.

I also remembered Huang Ruiyang's emotion in the dormitory after being abused by a dog one day——

Brother Xiao doesn't even bat an eye when he spends money on Ning Xi...

Any couple’s watch is a custom-made model worth several million, and a yacht worth hundreds of millions can be given as a free gift, or designed by yourself... Because of them, the girls have raised the criteria for choosing a boyfriend by a large margin.. ...This makes the single dogs of S big how to pick up girls in the future? ....

There is also the sentence on the campus network post that has been liked by countless people——

... Ning Xi is Yan Xiao's lifeblood.

The mist is getting thicker and thicker.

In the dark and hazy atmosphere, Wang Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction where Ning Xi and Chen Yi left. He didn't say anything for a while.

When she turned her head, Wen Xuan felt that his bloodshot eyes were filled with something horrifying, extremely terrifying. She thought that Wang Jun was going to force her to take money again, and she was desperate, but she saw Wang Jun Jun stretched out his hand and wiped his face wet by the mist vigorously.

From the top to the bottom, the movement is very vigorous, as if a decision has been made.

Then the whole person suddenly calmed down, and the tyrannical expression that forced her to ask for money was gone.

Seeing how frightened she was, he even smiled at her.

When Yan Xiao and Li Xuyao ​​returned to the company, several senior executives of the company were already waiting in a conference room that could accommodate about 20 people. They were connected to a video conference with a foreign group after 10 minutes. Time is money, and Liang Licheng stood directly. We waited at the elevator entrance, and the first thing we did when we saw someone was to hand in two revised proposals. They talked and walked to the conference room. The people who stayed in the open office area on both sides of the aisle were still busy. It's hard work, and I want to fly when I walk.

During this period of time, good news from the company came one after another. Overtime work is the norm. Often the company is still brightly lit at [-]:[-] p.m., but the benefits given by the big boss are excellent, and the salary and bonuses have also increased accordingly. He was very happy when he heard the news, and he was willing to work overtime.

The meeting went smoothly. With the sincerity of both parties, several controversial details were resolved bit by bit. The rest of the matter can be handled by the person in charge. However, Yan Xiao and Li Xuyao ​​still plan to wait for a new contract After sorting out the authorization agreement and signing it, we will leave. The departure on the weekend is a temporary decision, so an internal meeting needs to be held in 10 minutes.

The atmosphere became a little more relaxed. Li Xuyao ​​was reading the documents on the island and felt his neck was stiff. He leaned back into the high-backed leather chair, and while reaching out to untie his tie, he motioned for the beautiful female secretary to bring him a cup of coffee.

Yan Xiao closed the computer, took the cigarette from Li Xuyao ​​with a smile, walked out to the rest platform outside the meeting room, took a few sips, squinted his eyes and leaned against the railing to relax.

The fog was very heavy, and the neon lights of the tall buildings in the distance turned into faintly visible bands of colored light. The buildings below were like water, vehicles and pedestrians were all blocked, and nothing could be seen. Standing on the platform with a height of more than [-] floors, it seemed like being in the clouds. , which made him suddenly feel that the world was unreal.

The fingertips holding the cigarette trembled, Yan Xiao collected himself, took out his phone and sent Ning Xi a message.

The message came back in less than half a minute. Ning Xi, who was half leaning on the bed and reading a book with a night light, posted a selfie, saying that she was still awake. In the photo, the young boy pursed his lips and smiled at the camera, his hair falling softly. in the forehead.

Yan Xiao closed his eyes and finally felt at ease.

Wang Jun and Huang Ruiyang didn't come back, and Ningxi was the only one in the dormitory, and there was still some time before the meeting. After sending a few messages, Yan Xiao felt that it was too troublesome, so he simply started the video, chatting with Ningxi about where to travel during the holidays.

Ning Xi put the book next to the pillow, turned over and lay down on the bed, happily chatting with her.

Boyfriend misses him, reading and sleeping must be put aside.

But when it came to where to go, Ning Xi got tangled up, because he liked all the places Yan Xiao mentioned.

A beautiful Greek island?Crystal clear Louvre?There is also a Prague where every brick and tile is art?

...It's so hard to choose.

Yan Xiao looked at the little stars in his eyes, and couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then they all go."

"Really?" Ning Xi opened her eyes wide.

"Well, we'll leave as soon as we have a holiday." Yan Xiao nodded, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the handsome and sharp look in his eyebrows and eyes turned into a leisurely aura at this moment. Never before had outsiders seen such gentleness.

Ning Xi was overjoyed, knowing that Chen Yi and Li Xuyao ​​would also go together, he was even wrapped in a quilt and smiled until his eyes narrowed.

In the end, the two chose Prague, where every brick and tile is art, as their first stop.

They are going to walk side by side in Prague Square.

Go shopping in galleries, bookstores, look at artworks, enjoy the sunset, leisurely idle, and waste life together.

While chatting happily, Li Xuyao ​​knocked on the glass and waved to Yan Xiao. The secretary also walked to the door and whispered that the meeting could start soon. Ning Xi vaguely heard it, and knew that Yan Xiao was probably having a small chat with himself during the meeting. Originally, I wanted to tell him about the strange feeling when I met Wang Jun and Wen Xuan at night, but after thinking about it, I gave up the idea.

Yan Xiao is so busy, he can't delay his work, so it's the same if we talk about it next time.

So he obediently said goodnight to Yan Xiao, held the phone close to the screen and kissed his boyfriend's handsome face, smiled and said that he was going to bed first, and then took the initiative to turn off the video first.

So obedient, Yan Xiao stared at the interface of the video that had ended, and couldn't bear to look away. He had held him in his arms not long ago, but at this moment, he felt like he was going to be separated forever.

I really want to do nothing and go back to school.

But the conference room has been prepared, and a bunch of people are waiting.

Sighing, Yan Xiao put the phone in his pocket and walked inside.

What else?Keep working hard, he has to finish these things as soon as possible, so that he can take Ningxi to play during the holidays.

This busy work lasted until midnight. After several days of continuous rotation, the body of iron will be tired. After arranging all the things, Li Xuyao ​​was so sleepy that he rubbed his face and asked the driver to drive him back to the apartment to catch up on sleep, but Yan Xiao didn't. So lucky, just a few minutes after lying down in the rest room, I received a call from the old house.

The call was from my uncle, who was out of breath and furious.

Yan Xiao was not surprised at all after hearing this.

Counting the time, it's almost time.

In his previous life, Yan Xiao's uncle sat in that position of neither high nor low, and had a lot of troublesome things, which were solved by the uncle using various means to turn the big things into small things, but because of this, he didn't know how to restrain himself. , was involved in a bribery case of a large-scale government project, because the huge amount involved was on the discipline inspection list, although the uncle managed to pull him out later, but his official career had come to an end, and even Uncle Yan Xiao was also on the list. A little bit of trouble, the impact is quite large.

Being an official is a technical job, and it belongs to a high-risk industry. In fact, Uncle Yan Xiao did not actually accept bribes. The old man left a lot of hidden properties to his two sons. Every year, the dividends and rent from various places can be collected. When it comes to soft hands, the Ji family is not short of money at all, but my uncle is an official fan but weak-willed, loves to show off, and even more loves to play the role of official authority.

People who know his hobby naturally find opportunities to flatter and fuel the flames, coaxing him to be happy and comfortable, and unknowingly give those people a little convenience in their duties. After the revelation, because of the huge amount, he was also taken away by the relevant department for disciplinary review and supervisory investigation. If he failed to deal with it, he would immediately resign from the government.

In the past six months, the situation has turned upside down, and the fallen officials have been one after another. Which one was not affected by the prudence and low-key behavior?The uncle took advantage of Yan Xiao's east wind to mobilize a step up. It was just when he was full of ambitions, but before his butt was hot, his unsatisfactory younger brother caused a big trouble, and now the leadership team has completely changed. He couldn't control the new pulse for a while, and he didn't know if his great career would be affected by it. It was really hard to stay calm.

Yan Xiao only started his business in S City when this happened in his previous life. Uncle Ji didn't even think about asking him for help. When Yan Xiao knew it was irreversible.

This life is different.

The things Yan Xiao has done in the past two years are amazing. There are even rumors that the fall of the Qin family some time ago was related to him. Building bridges and meeting mountains can open the way, but he is very clear that his nephew does have some hidden skills, which are far better than he thought, and his connections are much stronger than him.

So when something happened, the first thing he thought of was Yan Xiao.

On the phone, Uncle Ji complained all kinds of things that Uncle Ji shouldn’t do, and finally sighed and asked Yan Xiao to think of a way to find someone to clear it up for the sake of the whole family. Get it out, and say that the old lady doesn't know about it for the time being, it's best to deal with it as soon as possible, so that the old man won't get angry.

Of course, because he felt that he was Yan Xiao's eldest uncle, there was a hint of orders in his tone unconsciously.

Yan Xiao almost laughed.

He didn't directly refuse, but just pinched the bridge of his nose and said lazily, this is not a good thing to do, you have to think about it.

Then he said that he would go to the provincial department to discuss matters in the next few days, and then he would see the old lady when he came back.

In the end, the voice was leisurely and asked the uncle to persuade the old lady——

When you are old and have limited energy, don't worry about the things of the younger generation.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, some things, no matter how close the relationship is, don’t reach out, don’t worry about it, how good it is to enjoy the family happiness easily?

After hanging up the phone, Uncle Ji, who didn't get any letter from Yan Xiao, stared at the phone again and again, then paced squarely with his hands behind his back, chewing Yan Xiao's last few words over and over for a long time.

It took a long time to realize, co-author, my little nephew had something to say, and he was negotiating terms with him.

On the weekend, Yan Xiao and Li Xuyao ​​went to the province with a few confidants.

The signing of the contract was handed over to Liang Licheng. The funds were well prepared, and the procedures were very formal. It was no different from others. The only difference was that they had a dedicated leader who personally connected, coordinated, and negotiated enthusiastically.

Yan Xiao and Li Xuyao ​​went to drink tea with the bosses in private for two days, and what they saw was the authority of the people, which made people smack their tongues.

The tea was very enjoyable. Several powerful figures were a little bit airy towards others, but they had a rare and gentle attitude towards Yan Xiao. When they asked each other warmly, they spoke warmly like elders in the family. This surprised Li Xuyao. Fortunately, he He and Yan Xiao were born in a family, they were modest and prudent, and their aura was not at all low, and they were very comfortable with each other, which made the bosses look up to them even more.

After the matter was over, the two quietly set foot on the return journey with their men.

The journey was less than [-] kilometers, but it took several times longer to come back, because the weather was clearer two days ago, but suddenly it was foggy today, and the visibility on the highway was extremely low. Drive the car to a safe area on the side of the road or in the parking lot, and wait for the visibility of the fog to improve before continuing to drive.

After finally entering the boundary of City S, several people breathed a sigh of relief. It would be very late to return to the urban area at this speed, but when they thought that they were already busy with recent affairs, they could take a good rest when they went back. Everyone was in a good mood. All very well.

Liang Licheng and the two executives' cars followed behind, while Li Xuyao ​​and Yan Xiao sat in the commercial car in front, chatting without saying a word.

The luxury business car has a good sense of space. Li Xuyao ​​stretched his long legs, and his mood was beyond words to describe. Every strand of hair was full of elation and joy.

This trip went very smoothly. If there are no accidents, their project will become a very competitive comprehensive tourism industry in the Asian international market in a few years. In addition, they received the report halfway in the afternoon. They followed Yan Xiao before The GMV of several companies that have invested has exceeded 10 billion in the first quarter, and they have just completed the C+ round of financing of 6 million US dollars, which has attracted the attention of the entire industry. Yan Xiao is the only investor in the A round of financing. After taking Yan Xiao's footsteps, he never missed a seat.

Another project was launched very low-key, because there was little financing, and most people and even many investment institutions were unaware of the situation, but Yan Xiao decisively took the lead, and now its volume is already at the leading level in the industry.

Since cooperating with Yan Xiao, all the projects he has participated in investing have achieved great momentum, and his net worth has skyrocketed by N times. It is impossible for the Li family to contain him anymore. This feeling is so fucking cool.

Yan Xiao is definitely the most investment-minded person he has ever met.

This guy who is a few years younger than him seems to have a god-like perspective, with top-notch insight, strong innovation and efficient execution, all of which are in place, and he has never missed a shot.

He was really convinced.

The more Li Xuyao ​​thought about it, the more he sighed, "...I'll treat you to a good meal when I go back. How about eating Yusheng at the proprietress's place? I think Xiaoyi and Ningxi both like her food."

Yan Xiao was originally closing his eyes to rest his mind, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes, smiled and lazily replied, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange vigilance flashed in Yan Xiao's mind.

Due to the rapid development of the urban area in recent years, the seven or eight-kilometer-long road that enters the urban area after getting off the expressway is all being expanded. One side of the road is closed, and all passing vehicles are diverted to the other side. Only rows of ice cream are used in the middle The street lamps in some places have just been removed, and it is dark under the foggy sky.

It was very late, and it was the weather with visibility of only 50 meters. Occasionally, one or two cars would pass by. When Yan Xiao opened his eyes, they were passing by a construction site with almost no street lights, and there was a car coming around the corner ahead. , the speed is extremely fast, there is no fog light or horn, I can't see the model clearly, but it is definitely a large car. When it is about to meet the car, the car suddenly turns on the high beams, which is very bright, and shoots out under the long thick fog. The strong light illuminated the front of their car into a vast expanse of whiteness, and the view from the cab of the commercial vehicle was so wide that there were almost no blind spots. For a moment, Yan Xiao, who looked up to the front, could hardly see anything.

It was at this moment that he suddenly remembered the tragic car accident in his previous life.

With the same sudden high beam, the luxury commercial vehicle was as fragile as a piece of crumpled paper in front of the heavy truck, a huge impact, broken ribs, gushing blood, terrible pain... the dragon that fell on him Uncle had half of his head cut off, and the splashed brains slowly slid down his face...

Those who have not experienced the greeting of death will never understand the horror of the moment when life disappears.

"Uncle Long!"

Yan Xiao shouted loudly!

Uncle Long, who was instantly blinded by the glaring light, immediately braked, honked the horn to warn the driver behind him, and turned the steering wheel to rush to the right!Accompanied by harsh braking sounds and a loud "bang" of metal collisions, the commercial vehicle brushed past the corner of the car with the heavy truck Zhanzhan that crushed the entire row of ice cream cones and came straight towards them!

The car hit by the impact smashed through the two-meter-high construction fence on the side of the road, rushed all the way down the slippery slope, broke a cement fence, rolled over the sand pile in the construction site and shook violently several times before stopping Come down! Several people in the car will inevitably collide with the windshield of the steering wheel or the back of the seat. The ultra-high safety performance of the top luxury car is revealed at this moment. The tensioner tightened quickly, and the impact was unavoidable, but the seat had been adjusted to the best protective position before the airbag was activated.

The car behind also reacted quickly, and then rushed into the construction site without facing the big car head-on, but hit a pile of building materials at the bottom of the slope. .

All this happened in an instant. Li Xuyao ​​reflexively protected his head and chest when Yan Xiao issued a warning. He never thought that he would be so close to death. When the airbag popped out, it seemed to punch him. When I came back to my senses, I only felt that there was nothing but whiteness in front of me.

"...My day..." Li Xuyao ​​touched his forehead, his hands were covered with blood, he hissed, "...what's going on?"

The first thing Yan Xiao did after the car stopped was to check whether his limbs could still move, as calm as a doctor treating a patient's body.

Before the crash, Li Xuyao ​​took a PerrierJouet from the refrigerator. The bottle and the glass were completely broken, and the flying debris left him and Li Xuyao ​​with several small wounds, but now he has no time to take care of them. The car lights Under the light, in the thick white mist, there are many figures leaping from the gap in the fence that was smashed on the slope, and they are quickly approaching this side.

There was no movement in the car at Liang Licheng's side, and the people inside didn't know what was going on. Yan Xiao swept the seat in front of him, and seeing that Uncle Long was fine, he quickly ordered "Go save people first", and then vigorously kicked away his side slightly deformed opened the door of the car, reached out and pulled Li Xuyao ​​up, and returned to him, "The Qin family."

After getting out of the car door, Li Xuyao ​​shook his head and squinted his eyes to look forward, "...Fuck, I missed it."

Under the mist, the surrounding people gradually revealed their figures, each of them was holding a machete, with a ferocious aura, obviously different from ordinary gangsters.

The Qin family, which had been in power for a while, has now suffered a crushing defeat, and has become a entanglement that countless people avoid and fear. Almost all dozens of members of the highly organized smuggling gang raised in private have fallen into the law. After the investigation, he got the news that he had fled to the Burmese area. He knew very well that this matter must be eradicated to avoid future troubles, so he sent people to chase there, and asked everyone to be caught. Once, these people actually stayed in the country.

Yan Xiao handed him the two thin short knives that he just took out from the seam of the car seat, and said lightly, "If you miss it, you will miss it, and it's the same if you catch it now." Turning his head, the headlights of the car next to him shone through. The glass hit his face, and the light and shadow made half of his side face sharp as if it had been cut by a sharp sword, strong, proud, extremely gorgeous and cold.

"Tsk, my forehand is so itchy, they sent it to the door by themselves." Li Xuyao ​​took the dagger and held it in his hand, holding his neck with the other hand and twisting it. The laziness in his eyes has now turned into a murderous look. .

The author has something to say: I have a fever and a cough, and I have been dizzy for many days. I am really afraid that I will be quarantined...

It's okay, it's a false alarm, I'm back hahaha...

The finale will come soon, and I will strive to conclude the essay before the year.Love you guys.
