Dawn is coming

Jian Chengqi was on the bus going home.

He chose the window seat at the back, and the alpha wearing glasses stood in the front, looking down at his phone, until Jian Chengxi stood beside him waiting and didn't look up, nor did he get out of the car.

Jian Chengxi clutched his schoolbag, and didn't look back all the way from the platform to the canteen. After holding the doorknob, he caught a glimpse of the Alpha holding the shopping bag from the corner of his eye. They didn't look at each other, and that person kept walking without stopping .

Jian Chengqi took a deep breath and pushed open the door.In the past, Zhu Zhihua would be there at this point, but today only the proprietress was watching the store, and seeing Jian Chengqi coming, she opened her mouth to say something, but hesitated to speak.Jian Chengqi said good evening politely, looked around, and asked, "Where's the treasure?"

The proprietress pursed her lips and said, "Zhihua sent it to you."

"...Did something happen?" Jian Chengqi asked quite carefully.

"Someone is looking for you," the proprietress didn't say clearly, but she couldn't hide her gaze of looking at Jian Chengqi, as if she was getting to know him again.

"It's the police," said the proprietress, "I collected letters from many residents in the neighborhood you live in, and the police came to ask us if you live here. We... we are also ordinary people..."

Jian Chengqi turned around and left the canteen.

He didn't have any thoughts of running away. His sheep were still there, so where could he run away?

He could only prepare for the worst and go back to that basement, but it wasn't as bad as he imagined, and the uniforms of the two policemen were the most common ones, not the ones he had seen four years ago.His sheep was also held unharmed by Zhu Zhihua who was sitting against the wall. Seeing him coming, the living treasure let out a "baa" and ran towards him.Zhu Zhihua also got up, and at the same time the two policemen stepped forward, pointed their hands back, and asked him if he lived here.

Jian Chengxi nodded.

"The basement cannot be used as a rental house. It was a document last month. It is still posted at the gate of this building. Didn't you see it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll move right away." Jian Chengqi thought it was just a matter of housing, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when another policeman asked him where he was going to move, and if he was still in the East Fifth District, Jian Chengqi was about to say that he would be moving at the beginning of next month Leaving, when the words came to his lips, he looked at the uniforms of the two men, and suddenly stopped.This pause was taken as a default by them, and one of them took out the file in the bag and gave it to him.Jian Chengqi turned to the first page and saw that the clothes on his one-inch photo were prison uniforms, so he closed them silently.

"You have to leave East Fifth District within three days, even if you have a job here."

"What kind of policy is this?" Jian Chengqi asked.

"There are no express regulations, but for the safety of the East Fifth District and the happiness index of the local residents, we don't have a criminal record—"

"I've already been in prison." Jian Chengqi interrupted at this moment, sounding like a challenge, "You are restricting citizens' freedom of travel."

"It's not just for you. All people like you who are not registered in the East Fifth District will be sent back. You should be glad that you are not from the West Fifth District. The war is over. The West Fifth District says people differently, and things can't come in or out. Go." The other policeman didn't have much patience, "You pack up and pack up for at most three days, or we will force you out of the East Fifth District, and you will have to pay us a repatriation fee."

The notification was in place, and Jian Chengxi didn't bother to say anything more, and went upstairs and left while rubbing his shoulder.Jian Chengqi stood there for half a minute before dragging forward.Zhu Zhihua didn't leave, he was still standing by the door, and when Jian Chengqi took out the key, he asked, "Your name is Jian Chengqi."

He stated: "Jane Chengqi who wrote "Recalling the Golden Age"."

Jian Chengqi's hand in his pocket froze, he raised his head with difficulty, Zhu Zhihua's eyes did not escape.

"It seems that it is. They waited for a long time, and chatted while flipping through your files, talking about where you were from, where you went to school, when you were imprisoned, and what crimes you were charged with... I put the timeline together and guessed It's you." He said, "No wonder you had such a big reaction when you mentioned that magazine that day, so you are—"

"I didn't write that article." He still denied it.

"Who wrote that?" Zhu Zhihua asked.

Jian Chengqi was speechless when asked.

"I saw the manuscript of that article on the Internet. You revised it many times, and the second half became more and more radical, but no matter how you revised it, the handwriting was written by one person." Zhu Zhihua said, "Your."

"I don't mean anything else, I'm just surprised that you are him." Zhu Zhihua lowered his eyes slightly, "Many reports speculate that you fled to the European Union or NATO to hide your name. You are the author of that article. If you Fleeing from the United States of America, they are eager to provide you with asylum. In your article... everyone knows the problems and hidden dangers, and everyone is eager for those demands, but no one has listed them in such detail. You, you actually wrote them all Oh, and the circulation of "Spark of the Times" is so large, everyone has read that article, and everyone says you are a hero."

He looked up, looked at Jian Chengqi, and said, "I also think you are a hero."

"I never thought of being a hero," Jian Chengqi kept suppressing, took out the key to open the lock, "I just want to go home."

After speaking, he closed the door.It took about three or four minutes before he heard the footsteps of Zhu Zhihua leaving. Jian Chengqi let out a breath, rubbed his face and grabbed his hair, hung his coat and backpack on the back of the chair, and sat down against the wall. bed.For a while, many voices came out of his ears uncontrollably and then went in again, Zhu Zhihua's evaluation, Fedor's doubts, Liu Jiaan's urgency... He let out a low growl, and then threw himself on the bed. To deal with the babes who are nibbling on the sheets.

He hadn't turned on the light yet, the ceiling was extremely dark in the absence of light, and it began to rotate around the incandescent lamp, bringing Jian Chengxi back to four years ago. "It's the Moonlight and Roses" was also recommended to Liu Jia'an when it was serialized, so when he caught a glimpse of Jian Chengqi in the library who was concentrating on typing on the keyboard, he noticed that the names in the document were "Zhang Shixi" and "Jiang Chong". ", he did not expect that the author would be Jian Chengqi, who was unremarkable in high school.

Of course, it's not very eye-catching when it comes to college.

But at that time, Liu Jia'an was already an officer of the student union, and he was doing well in colleges and universities in the capital. Jian Chengqi, who wrote forum novels, didn't catch his eye.But that story is so popular that even some of his female friends who don’t read online novels will chase after him, and marvel at the depressive but still savage vitality in this story.It was also this comment that made Liu Jiaan interested. During college, he happened to meet Jian Chengqi once at night, and sent him back to the dormitory out of courtesy, and chatted a little more at the door. After watching the serialized part, he couldn't wait to ask Jian Chengxi if he could spoil it.If it was someone else, Jian Chengqi might not have said it, but he was facing Liu Jiaan, so he told him all the plots he wanted to write later.

All of them surprised Liu Jiaan.

"So Zhang Shixi will still be with Jiang Chong? Fish and bear's paw, art and love, he has both?"

"Can't you?" Jian Chengqi was 21 years old at that time, and asked Liu Jia'an, who had a halo, tremblingly.Liu Jiaan smiled and shook his head, saying that Jian Chengqi was still too young, he said that the pursuit of art to the extreme requires self-sacrifice, if you have both, it would be too vulgar.

"But, but I just want to write about love." Jian Chengqi said not very confidently, no one taught him how to write a story, he just wrote what he wanted to write, and he also accepted anyone's criticism and criticism with an open mind. guide.

"Then think about "Escape from Siberia". It's not that the director didn't shoot the scene where the hero is reunited with his wife and children at the end, but compared with the ending where he throws the transmitter into the bottom of the lake and sparks are reflected in his eyes, which one do you think is more shocking? ? If the movie ended with a family reunion, do you think it would still be as famous?"

"No." Liu Jia'an answered for him, "A work that can be remembered is not a tragedy, but it will definitely make the audience feel uncomfortable."

"You should also write like this," he taught Jian Chengqi like a teacher, "write a Zhang Shixi who loves art more than love, and Zhang Shixi who will sacrifice everything for beauty."

"...Did you expect that ending?" Jian Chengqi asked anxiously.

Liu Jiaan nodded with certainty: "I look forward to it."

So Jian Chengqi changed his original thinking.He is just an amateur writer who can't even touch the edge of the literary world, so as long as Liu Jiaan picks out what he is not satisfied with, he will change it, and change the ending of Jiang Chong leaving Zhang Shixi.While this ending made many readers sigh, it also won the affirmation of some pure literature writers. They are very similar to Liu Jiaan's argument. The same is not worth mentioning.Jian Chengxi finally got some weighty affirmation, but he didn't get the relief and happiness he imagined. He became more and more dissatisfied with the ending and regretted it more and more, so he added a reunion episode in the physical book, that The story about returning to love is so clichéd, Liu Jiaan also advised him not to spoil the style of the work, he was about to put down the pen again, he thought of the tree cave.

Thinking of the man whose name he didn't even know.

If that person hadn't suddenly disappeared, the story of Zhang Shixi and Jiang Chong would never have been like this.That person would never teach him how to write, but just listened attentively, never interfering with his truest desire to create. Even after five years, he would still tell Jian Chengqi, don't care about other people's expectation or not.

Jian Chengqi can't blame anyone, as the author, the ending was influenced by others, he can only blame himself for being too unsteady.He finally wrote the side story that Liu Jiaan and other reviewers looked down upon. He insisted on himself for a while, but then fell into deeper doubts and lack of self-confidence.

He also knew that he let Liu Jiaan down, after all, he was someone he needed to look up to, so Jian Chengqi also felt sorry, Liu Jiaan asked him to help type the records, and he did not refuse. Later, "Spark of the Times" came to their club to ask for a draft , Jian Chengqi also wrote an article.He is not a radical person, and he does not urgently call for change. What he writes naturally only stays in the yearning for the life before the war. No one writes this part better than him, so Liu Jiaan asked him to change the second half over and over again. , Changed to the end, everyone came together to brainstorm and work together, dictating one by one, Jian Chengqiji.After finishing the manuscript, Jian Chengqi didn't even recognize that it was written by himself. For a while, he didn't want to sign it. Some members of the company could also predict that this article would definitely have repercussions, and they didn't want the future honor to belong to Jian Chengqi alone. As a matter of course, he added his own name to Jian Chengqi.

But the day before the manuscript was submitted, Jian Chengqi suddenly regretted it and insisted on using only his own name.This aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhang Cheng and others, and even Liu Jiaan advised him not to compete, saying that everyone knew that Jian Chengqi had no political awareness, only knew how to write romance novels, and he was the only author, which was too unconvincing.But Jian Chengxi persisted like never before, and in the end everyone compromised and used a pen name called "Chenxi".

Later, the response to that article was indeed a sensation, but what followed was no honor but a prison sentence.Because of the manuscript and pseudonym, Zhang Cheng and others should have pushed Jian Chengqi out, but they were also afraid that Jian Chengqi would leak the truth and confess the facts, so they asked Liu Jiaan to do ideological work for him, but Liu Jiaan did not expect that things would happen He was only in his early twenties when he developed like this, and something really happened, Jian Chengxi couldn't stand it, he was the next one.

"This time period is too sensitive. There is a conference in the capital, and all foreign media have translated the article and posted it on the Internet... I heard that Commander He Boyan is paying attention to this matter."

Liu Jia'an didn't mean that the article was well written, but that they were unlucky, and they hit the muzzle directly.

Jian Chengqi asked: "You want me to take the blame?"

"As long as you resist, everyone will be fine," Liu Jiaan said urgently, "They will compensate you after you come out."

He then mentioned "Escape from Siberia", but he had already stood on the opposite side.He was able to win Jian Chengqi's admiration because he was opposed to sacrificing a few people to save the majority, but now he encourages Jian Chengqi to make this choice.

"You have to stand up, Cheng Qi. Think about the backgrounds of Zhang Cheng and the others. If you confess them, their family members will move their fingers. Other ordinary students, me," Liu Jiaan finally whispered, "Your family members , and all suffer accordingly.”

That year Jian Chengxi was 21 years old, not to mention the state machine of power, he was an ordinary person who could not even fight against another powerful person, and his anger was not worth mentioning at all.Fortunately, he is not as lonely as before. He has a sheep, the desire to create again, and Xiao Ye who is willing to go back to the south with him.

He wants to call Ono now.

He sat up on the bed with his elbows propped up, and was going to get the cell phone in his jacket. It was at this time that he realized that Huobao hadn’t touched the sheets, but jumped on the stool to bite his jacket. Behind Jian Chengqi, it was using its nose Arch the pocket, Jian Chengxi is a few seconds later, and it might be talking to the phone.Jian Chengxi hurriedly rescued the phone, Huo Bao thought he was playing with him, and chased after him to bite the phone, Jian Chengxi was licked by it, and his fingers itch, as soon as he let go, the old phone disappeared from the He fell at neck height.Jian Chengqi touched its horns helplessly, then squatted on the bed to pick up the battery board that fell out.

He is usually very careful. This is the first time he has dropped his mobile phone, and he doesn’t know if it can still be used after reinstalling it. He would not have taken the back case of the mobile phone apart again if it hadn’t been restarted and it showed that there was no signal. The slight protrusion of the card, he didn't think much before pulling out the card, but when he saw the small round patch hidden behind the SIM card, he clutched the phone, his eyes widened, his mind was so blank that he couldn't think.

That's a bug.

He didn't know what it was put in, but no one was more sure than Jian Chengqi that it was a genuine bug that only the secret police under orders from the State Security would use.

He then flipped the disc over to the back, and as expected, there was a string of numbers on it.He had seen another bug engraved with another number in court a few years ago. That code was unique and belonged only to a certain secret police.Jian Chengqi took out the military badge from his pocket with trembling hands, he turned it over, and the two codes in front of him were exactly the same.

He stopped breathing for a moment, and his mind went blank.At the same time, there was a knock on the door, Jian Chengxi was caught off guard, and the phone fell to the ground again.

The person who knocked on the door was not in a hurry, and after making sure that the people inside must have heard it, he didn't make any more noise.Jian Chengqi didn't have time to pick up the phone again, came to the door, and asked who it was.

"I, me." For some reason, Liu Jiaan stuttered, "I brought the letter here."

"Just push it in," Jian Chengqi didn't open the door, but still stood there.Liu Jiaan didn't force him to enter the house, he pushed the envelope through the crack of the door, and Jian Chengqi squatted down to pick it up and held it in front of his eyes.

He is an omega, and he is very sensitive to smells. He has already smelled the slightest smell that does not belong to this room, but the string of numbers and his brother's notes on the envelope made him have no time to think. He couldn't wait to open it, and he smelled more intense A kind of fragrance.

It was too late for him to hold his breath at this time, and after he fell to the ground weakly, he saw the living treasure screaming and running towards him.

This voice message also caused the people outside the house to knock open the door the next moment. In the last moment before he passed out, what he saw was Liu Jia'an standing at the door in a daze, and two Alphas rushing in.

One is wearing glasses and the other is wearing a gray crew neck.
