Dangerous game

On the way from Jiangbei to the subway station, Boss Hu drove slowly to catch up with him, the window of the car was lowered, "Xiao Jiang, the driver didn't come to pick him up today."

Jiang Bei looked over, smiled and said, "There is something wrong with his family."

"Get in the car, I'll give you a ride."

"No, it's just a few stops, I'll take the subway. Boss, don't forget about tomorrow night."

Boss Hu made a promise: "I can't forget it, then I will go first, and you should pay attention to safety."

The BMW X6 galloped off the sidewalk and merged into traffic at the intersection ahead.

"Jiangbei." Someone called him.

Jiang Bei recognized the voice, and he looked for it. Chen Xinyu was in a jacket and jeans, and his whole body was relaxed.I haven't seen him for more than half a year, this person is completely different from the old son-in-law. After taking off his glamorous coat, he is no different from the busy office workers in this city.

"What's up?"

Chen Xinyu covered his hands to block the wind and gave himself a cigarette: "Let's sit down together."

"If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush between us. I'm in a hurry to go home and take care of the kids."

Chen Xinyu looked up at the sky, the smog made him squint his eyes slightly, and he spoke after a while: "You're having a good day."

"It's okay." Jiang Bei lifted his foot forward.

"Zhou Ming, you don't want to worry about it anymore, do you!" Behind him came a sharp question.

Jiang Bei turned around slowly, and met the pair of eyes with ulterior motives: "I've been dead for so long, what else can I care about, Chen Xinyu, how many times have I begged you, you know in your heart, and you, you have never given a letter of approval once." , Now I also want to understand, who is Zhou Ming to you, why do you want to take care of someone who has nothing to do with you? Shen Munan gave you benefits, but now that the benefits are gone, you come to me to expose him!"

Chen Xinyu shook off the half of the cigarette, rubbed it vigorously with the soles of his shoes, looked at Jiangbei, and said with a sneer: "It seems that you are not stupid, okay, I'm a fucking troubled man, Shen Munan, it should be smooth sailing and all the good things will be taken care of." Already!"

"So what if you catch that person, you can be sentenced to a few years for hit and run..."

"Yeah, the sentence for hit and run can last for a few years, and he, Zheng Zihao, is still roaming the world at large. Burn some paper money for your hapless ex-husband. I think this matter will be dragged down like this."

A sycamore leaf fluttered from the branch to Jiangbei's feet, "Don't come to me again." Jiangbei said softly.

"Shen Munan knows everything from beginning to end, and he has no intention of helping you!" Chen Xinyu yelled at Jiang Bei's back unwillingly.

The words are clear, just like the dry weather of this season, there is a stinging pain when covering the head and face.

When Jiang Bei came back, he went upstairs to see the children. The heating was turned on in the room, and the little girl crawled around on the plush carpet, left and right for a while, and the toys were scattered all over the floor.

"Zhouzhou." Jiang Bei knelt down and reached out to him.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she staggered over with her feet loose. Jiang Bei held the child in his arms, and his heart suddenly felt warm: How long will it take such a small baby to grow up with care.

"Did you sleep this afternoon?" Jiang Bei asked the aunt who took care of the baby.

"I put her to bed at three o'clock, and she slept until after five o'clock, and I guess I'm going to play again at night."

Jiang Bei tugged at the wrinkled vest cardigan for the child, and said softly, "You can rest at night, and I will bring the child."

Shen Munan still came back from dinner, these days he was negotiating a project, and there were occasional dinners, almost every day he would enter the bedroom smelling of alcohol.Jiang Bei built building blocks with his daughter on the bed. The colorful villa took shape, and there was still a roof missing. Zhouzhou looked at her father's skillful hands with a curious face.

"Dad is amazing." Jiang Bei handed his daughter a piece of wood in the shape of a yellow cuboid, "This is for you, you can put it."

Zhouzhou blinked and looked at her father with a watery look.

When Shen Munan opened the door and came in, what he saw was such a family scene. He pulled off his tie and walked over, looking down at one big and one small.

Jiang Bei didn't lift his eyelids, and said directly to the shadow, "The child will sleep with us today, so go in and wash up."

The little lover was wearing a set of navy blue cotton pajamas, the neckline was slightly open, revealing a large area of ​​spring. Shen Munan's mouth was dry for a while, and he leaned over and pecked Jiang Bei's cheek: "I only drank a small cup at night."

Jiang Bei hugged the child, his eyelashes twitched slightly, and said nothing.

"Who messed with you today?" Shen Munan asked casually, most of the buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned, and he was about to take a shower.

"Chen Xinyu provoked me."

Shen Munan's hands were hanging stiffly on the buttons, he raised his head and glanced at Jiangbei, his voice sank: "What nonsense did he tell you again?"

"No nonsense." Jiang Bei stroked the little guy's curly hair, and said jokingly, "Just let me guard against you, this person is also strange, he likes to meddle in our husband and wife's affairs , but whoever has a ghost in his heart knows it himself."

Shen Munan looked at Jiangbei silently, and after a while, he took a step forward and said softly, "I'm going to take a bath."

"Wow—" the little girl's cry broke the undercurrent between the two.

Jiang Bei took off the little guy's diaper and took a look, and it was indeed wet, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll change it for you, you still dare to cry when you pee yourself." He picked up the child and raised his eyes to command the man who was a few steps away Man, "Why are you standing there, go get a diaper."

Shen Munan turned around and came back, frantically looking for diapers in the drawer, but Jiang Bei couldn't see it, and his voice was a little louder: "If you find it here, you won't find it tomorrow, go to the child's room to search."

The few buttons that had been undone at first were fastened carelessly by the man. He went out with a gust of wind, and came in with a paper bag after a while, and replaced the child with a new one in two or three strokes, quite skillfully.

The little guy stopped crying, his little face was slightly wrinkled, a pair of black round eyes stared straight at Shen Munan, his mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, and he kept muttering "Dad".

Shen Munan said sternly, "Good boy, don't pee your pants anymore."

Jiang Bei looked up at the man: "Take your good baby to the bathroom to wash her butt. She only recognizes you as 'dad' now. I played with her for a long time, but I didn't hear her call me."

"I have worked harder than you, and I have a better mass base." Shen Munan smiled and hugged the child into his arms, "Come on, let's wash our ass."

At ten o'clock in the evening, a family of three was lazily lying on the big bed in the master bedroom. The child was already sound asleep, lying between the two adults like a glutinous rice dumpling.There was only one retro wall lamp turned on in the bedroom, the light was very soft, and the two looked at each other face to face.

"Xiaobei." The man murmured softly.

Jiang Bei raised his eyelids, and said in his throat, "Huh?"

"Isn't it good that we are like this now?"

Jiang Bei's eyes dimmed a few times: "It's very good. There is a driver when I go out, and I am not tired at work. Our boss Hu treats me better than his own son. They all say that my second marriage is worth it." Jiang Bei paused After a pause, he said again, "Stop talking about this, go to sleep."

***

The night was thick, like ink dyed, and it was still dark early in early spring. After finishing packing, the two of them were planning to drive to dinner.

"Ping's son is sick. I heard him talk on the phone the day before yesterday." Shen Munan turned half of his body lazily, his eyes fixed on Jiangbei, "Fasten your seat belt."

Jiang Bei complied: "It's quite serious. I have to go to the hospital sometime."

"I'll come to pick you up next week. Wait a while after get off work in the evening. I'll be there around six o'clock."

"No, why bother, it only takes a while to take the subway."

Turn on the ignition, start the car, and drive towards the suburban road rapidly, with rows of Chinese locust trees on both sides extending in parallel.

Shen Munan continued the topic just now: "I remember you got your driver's license after finishing the college entrance examination, why didn't you buy a car and drive?"

"When I first started working, all my family's money was used to open a studio. At first, my mother didn't have much savings, but later..." Jiang Bei was stunned for a while, and then said, "Anyway, I was just fooling around, and I didn't earn much. How many."

Shen Munan understood that he was ashamed of his little lover for the incident many years ago, "I will accompany you to see it when I have time, and buy you a car."

Jiang Bei responded, "Okay."

The buzzing of the mobile phone broke the silence of the driving. Jiang Bei slowly opened his eyes and fumbled out of his pocket. There was a series of numbers on the screen, which were somewhat familiar.

"Hi, hello," Jiang Bei said.

"It's me, Chen Xinyu, don't hang up, listen to me, is he next to you?"

Jiangbei remained silent.

"It seems so. You didn't listen to a single word I told you last time."

Jiang Bei stared blankly at the front, the hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly: "I said last time, don't come to me again."

Hearing the words, Shen Munan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Bei. He had already guessed who the caller was, and a strange look appeared in his eyes, "Chen Xinyu?"

The phone call was still going on there, Jiang Bei didn't intend to hang up, the steering wheel was beaten to death, and with a bang, the tires rubbed against the ground sharply and flicked away.

About half a minute later, Jiang Bei hung up the phone, with the same description, looked at the man and asked indifferently: "Did you drive so fast, are you dying?"
