Short story department

The first time I saw Bai Jie, he was only 17 years old.

The setting sun was like blood, and he stood in the ruins, pinching the man's dead neck with his hands.Surrounded by many people in black clothes, they held strange guns in their hands and pointed their guns at him.He knew that these people were here to arrest him.

Perhaps it would be easier to die.

But he didn't want to die, and he didn't know why he lived, but he didn't want to die either.

A tall man yelled at him, told him to let go of the corpse in his hand, and let him lie on the ground... It's not that he didn't hear it, but he didn't want to do it.Then, the man said to his companion: "Special first-level early warning action, persuasion is invalid, and we are going to arrest him by force."

What are they going to do?He tilted his head and saw strange bullets fired from the strange gun, running towards him.Then he thought: stop...

The bullet stopped in mid-air, just like those men, motionless.He felt that this was boring and threw away the corpse in his hand.The corpses were worthless, and he needed to find something from these living people in order to continue living.

The person who came to arrest him watched him walk slowly.Then, one by one, loot their wallets from them.Yes, wallet.Those priceless instruments and weapons were abandoned like shoes, and all he wanted was money.

After a while, he had found thousands of dollars.He looked at the crumpled banknotes in his hand, turned and left.Thinking of the noodles made by Aunt Jiekou.

"Is a few thousand yuan enough?" Behind him, the tone was smiling.He didn't know when this person came over, let alone how this person could move freely under his control.

He was curious about the man, turned around and raised his head, looking at him.

The man is white and good looking.At that time, he could only use these two words to describe his thoughts.He doesn't hate men, because the man's smile is beautiful, and the hand touching his head is very warm.

"Let's have something to eat together, what do you like?" the man asked him with a smile.

He replied without hesitation: "Face."

"Okay, then go eat noodles." Then, the man took his hand...

He couldn't help asking, "Are you coming to catch me too?"

The man smiled and nodded: "The people you freeze are my subordinates, but I don't plan to shoot you." "Why?" He didn't understand.

"Let's go eat noodles first." The man said, "Actually, I'm hungry too."

So eating noodles is the big deal, which is very consistent with his thinking.

One big and one small, walking hand in hand through the three streets, to the noodle stall at the corner of the street.The noodle stall is small, with only two well-used tables and a few plastic stools.He took out the money and handed it to the proprietress, who gave him two bowls of noodles—two bowls of noodles with eggs.He habitually walked to the corner with his face upside down and sat on the ground.The face belonging to the man was placed at the feet, and the man followed him and sat on the ground, knees touching knees.The same big blue bowl and the same hot noodle soup warmed their hearts on a cold winter evening.

what's your name?

Bai Jie.

I don't have a name.

I know.

what do you call me

"Xiaoyi", you are the first person to invite me to eat noodles on the street.

Back to reality from the memory, Xiao Yi counted with his fingers, ten years and seven months have passed since that bowl of noodles.He went from 17 to 27.

Xiao Yi doesn't blame Bai Jie.From the day he fell in love with Bai Jie, he knew that there was someone in Bai Jie's heart, someone who could not be replaced by anyone.Later, he knew that person's name——Su Nian.

Recently, I always seem to be dreaming about the past, dreaming about meeting Bai Jie for the first time.Xiaoyi doesn't know whether he can let go of Bai Jie, but he is as willing to do anything for Bai Jie as before, including dying for him.Therefore, he chose to stay at the headquarters to replace Bai Jie, so that Bai Jie and Su Nian could live a carefree life together.

The boss at the headquarters said Xiao Yi was a fool and an idiot.Xiao Yi never explained, only he could clearly see Bai Jie's suffering and difficulties.If happiness is a roulette wheel, it should be Bai Jie's turn.

When he was brought back to the headquarters by Bai Jie at the age of 17, he realized that there are so many people like himself in the world.

You are different from them, everyone is different - this is the first truth Bai Jie taught him.

You taught me all the truths, but didn't teach me how to give up on you.

"Xiaoyi, the boss is looking for you." Someone interrupted Xiaoyi's memory and told him to go to the top of the building to meet the boss of the headquarters.Xiao Yi doesn't like that person, or rather, he doesn't like anyone except Bai Jie.

However, the boss of the headquarters is a very special person.When Xiaoyi saw him ten years ago, he was in his thirties, and ten years later, he was still in his thirties.No one knows why he is not old, no one knows what he likes, no one even knows his name.Bai Jie said that the boss doesn't seem like a person, he doesn't have any desires.Therefore, Bai Jie always made jokes about the boss - "surname" is incompetent!

A few years ago, Xiaoyi asked Bai Jie curiously: "How old is the boss?" Bai Jie said that he was older than you and me anyway.

"Does the boss have a name?"

Bai Jie rubbed his hair and said, "Only one person knows the boss's name. Unfortunately, that person forgot."

Whether the boss has a name or not was quickly forgotten by Xiao Yi.

The boss sat on the open-air balcony, looking quiet and elegant.But Xiaoyi knew that this person could kill him in the blink of an eye.

"What are you doing standing there? Come here." Holding a coffee cup, the boss ordered softly.

Walking to the boss, Xiaoyi sat down and looked at Yunjuan Yunshu in the distance.The boss continued drinking his coffee, also looking at the blue sky with white clouds.They often do this, sitting quietly, no one talking.

Today, the boss is going to say more, and after enjoying the peace, he will say more about Xiaoyi.

"In the headquarters, there is no other person who is more bored than you." The boss put down his coffee cup and said with a half-smile, "You were not like this before. After Bai Jie left, have you counted the number of people who are bored in a day?" Can you say a few words?"

Xiaoyi was silent.

"The headquarters is not suitable for you. However, you made your own choice to stay and replace Bai Jie. Do you regret it?"

Xiao Yi smiled lightly, without denying it.

"Now that you have decided, you will stay here for the rest of your life. Whenever you feel tired of killing people, come to me and be a civil servant. Before that, you still need to work for the organization. Do you hate it?"

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Yi didn't speak a word.

The boss moved lightly, and gently took Xiaoyi's hand: "Do you know Medusa? The legendary female demon, her eyes would turn into stones. There is a girl, very cute, with beautiful eyes. Detective Chen from the investigation department was fascinated by her eyes, unfortunately, Detective Chen turned into a pile of liquid, I stored him in a container, I don’t know where to bury him.”

Xiaoyi looked at the boss coldly: "Give me the information."

"Well, it has been sent to your information terminal." The boss didn't let Xiao Yi go, but he didn't look at him, "How long have we known each other?"

You ask knowingly.Xiaoyi thought so.

"Ten years... how long has Bai Jie been away?"

Xiaoyi was silent for a moment: "He has always been there, never left."

Hearing this, the boss let go of Xiao Yi: "Go, go early and return early."

"Are you sure you want me to leave at this time?" Xiaoyi looked at the boss suspiciously.Doesn't the boss know that even if he doesn't leave his room all day, he can still smell an unusual smell in the headquarters?Whether he is willing or not, it was Bai Jie who told him to protect the boss before he left.Although he felt that this person did not need protection at all.

Regarding Xiao Yi's skeptical attitude, the boss acted as if he didn't see it.

Xiao Yi walked quietly.The boss poured another cup of coffee for himself, smelled it, flicked his wrist, and spilled all the fragrant coffee on the ground.

Returning to this city again, Xiao Yi remembered many things.Back then, the streets where noodles were eaten had changed, Dama’s stalls were gone, replaced by shops next to each other.Xiaoyi hates dazzling neon lights, and even more hates singing non-stop saliva songs.

The girl in the data looks very ordinary, of course, this is to ignore the pair of beautiful eyes.Her eyes are really beautiful, but it's a pity that Xiaoyi doesn't know how to appreciate them.

"Hello, I want to buy a set of skin care products for my girlfriend, can you recommend some to me?" It's not that Xiao Yi can't speak, but he doesn't like it.When you need to speak, it is still very decent.The girl smiled at Xiaoyi, and asked Xiaoyi, what kind of skin is his girlfriend?Oily?dry?Still sensitive?Xiaoyi didn't understand anything, scratched his head, and said he could do whatever he wanted.

The girl packed a set of skin care products, but Xiao Yi said, "Pack me another set, it's the same."

The two sets of skin care products were packed in two bags, Xiao Yi left without rushing, watching the girl wrap one of the sets in beautiful wrapping paper without blinking.He had been chatting with the girl, and she soon had her smile on her face.Finally, Xiaoyi said: "I want to treat you to dinner."

The girl froze for a moment, lowered her head shyly, and just smiled without saying a word.Xiao Yi leaned over, across the counter, and whispered, "Give me a chance?"

"Don't you have a girlfriend?" the girl asked cautiously.

Xiaoyi continued to laugh and said: "Before marriage, everyone has the right to choose. I like your eyes, they are so beautiful." "Speaking, Xiaoyi took out a pen and took her hand. Under the girl's surprised gaze Next, he wrote a string of numbers on her palm, "My name is Yuan Yi, you can call me Xiao Yi.Remember to call me before you wash your hands. "

Xiaoyi left, very simply.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yi sat on the window with his feet hanging outside the fifteenth floor of the building.He looked at the starry sky, at the darkening of the lit windows.The information terminal in his hand kept beeping, reminding him that someone wanted to talk to him.Xiao Yi ignored it completely, and continued to stare blankly at everything under the night.A gust of wind blew, and there was an extra person behind him.The man walked up to him, and a bottle of chilled beer with the aroma of malt was placed by his hand.

"Why didn't you notify me when you came?" Huang Tianxiang said complainingly.

Xiao Yi smiled, picked up the beer and took a sip: "Don't you need to accompany Guishuai?"

"He's not at home." Huang Tianxiang stood behind Xiaoyi, drinking and chatting with him, "Why are you here? Did you come here to play on a mission?"

"I'm here to grab Bai Jie."

Hearing the sound, Huang Tianxiang almost spit out a mouthful of beer.Xiao Yi turned around with a smile, saying that he was just kidding you, I wouldn't do that.Huang Tianxiang sighed again and again, wondering if he should comfort Xiaoyi.He thought, all that needs to be said has been said, Xiaoyi himself understands that it is impossible to be with Bai Jie, even without Su Nian, Bai Jie would not choose him.Bai Jie regards him as his son, just like Yu An, he is a son.But obviously Xiao Yi didn't regard Bai Jie as his father.

"I said buddy..." Huang Tianxiang was a mother-in-law once in a while, "Let's find a companion, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. Give yourself a chance, and give others a chance."

Xiao Yi smiled shyly, and said in a low voice, "Today, I'm going to pick up girls."

puff!This time, he sprayed the wine in his mouth.Huang Tianxiang's eyes widened: "What are you doing?"

"Teasing you. I'm just going to get in touch with the mission target."

"Brother, don't make such jokes!" Huang Tianxiang pushed Xiaoyi angrily.But, or really can.He said, "Try it, find one."

Find one to try?try what?Xiaoyi didn't bother to think about it.

The next morning, Huang Tianxiang left Xiaoyi's room.Walking to the hotel lobby, I saw a refined and elegant man.The man was sitting in the coffee seat, with his legs crossed, his hands folded in front of his stomach, and he smiled faintly at him.Huang Tianxiang definitely didn't know this person, but he felt a powerful and unknowable ability from this person.

Huang Tianxiang walked out of the hotel quickly, got into the car and hesitated for a long time, but still didn't contact Bai Jie.He thought that if Xiaoyi was in danger, he and the Su family brothers would take care of him enough, and there was no need for Xiaoyi to come into contact with Bai Jie.As for that mysterious man, maybe it wasn't aimed at Xiao Yi.

Xiaoyi still doesn't know anything about what happened to Huang Tianxiang.At nine o'clock in the morning, he received a call from the girl, making an appointment to have lunch and watch a movie.Xiaoyi said, let's have dinner, I only have time at night, and the girl readily agreed.There was shyness and joy in the words.

Xiao Yi spent the whole day in a daze in his room, only washing his face and brushing his teeth at seven o'clock in the evening.Tonight, he was dressed handsomely, quite different from his usual self.The girl was really taken aback when she saw him.

Take the girl to a western restaurant, candlelight, food, red wine, a beautiful bouquet of roses.All the dating knowledge Xiaoyi learned from books is used here.The girl received one surprise after another, and said with a shy smile that her name was "Wang Huan", and everyone she knew called her "Huanhuan".

The girl's nickname reminds Xiao Yi of a dog that Bai Jie once raised.

"What kind of work do you do?" During the dinner, Wang Huan asked.

Xiao Yi raised his wine glass and said: "Family business." The implication is that he is a rich second generation.

The girl's eyes lit up.

After some irrelevant topics, Xiaoyi called the waiter and said that he wanted to listen to a piece of violin music.The waiter quickly found the luthier, and Xiao Yi pointed to the compartment: "Go in and play, I don't like to see the third person." His attitude was very arrogant, but Wang Huan was convinced.

So, have you been honored to dance?Xiaoyi didn't invite her, but walked up to Wang Huan, took her hand, and slowly pulled her towards her.Wang Huan couldn't help looking into Xiao Yi's eyes, which seemed to have sunk into them.Xiao Yi naturally held her hand in his palm, and slowly swayed to the beautiful violin music.

"I have met many special people." Xiao Yi said softly, "You are even more special than those people."

"Talking nonsense." Wang Huan half-nuggled into Xiao Yi's arms, completely intoxicated.

Xiao Yi smiled softly: "The first time I saw you, I knew that you had many secrets in your heart. Just like me."

Wang Huan raised his head in a daze, looking up at Xiao Yi.Xiao Yi smiled softly, leaned close to her daughter's ear, and whispered softly: "I like people with secrets." After saying that, she hugged her even tighter.He could even feel Wang Huan's heartbeat.
