life and joy

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yao Qi woke up from his sleep, but when he opened his eyes, he found that it was neither his room nor a hotel room.He stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, and when he regained consciousness, he realized that he had drunk too much.

And... said a lot of childish things.He sat on the bed and squeezed the space between his eyebrows, really not knowing how to deal with today's scene.

Just when Yao Qi was getting restless, Shunfenger He Huan had already opened the door and came in, holding a half glass of milk in his hand, kneeling on one knee beside the bed and handing it to him.

Yao Qi looked back at him, but didn't reach out to pick him up.

"First of all, it nourishes the stomach, and secondly, it is not poisoned." After several short meetings, He Huan finally summed up his experience: he can't talk too much when facing a cold and reticent person.There is only one reason, and that is to look like a crazy person.

Those were a pair of sincere and transparent eyes, the black pupils seemed to be able to swim a whale.Yao Qi stared into the eyes of the person in front of him, feeling a strange sense of belonging for the first time in his life.

"Here, porridge is still cooking in the kitchen." He Huan urged him, and turned to leave by himself.

Wash and dice fresh scallops, add minced green onion, pour into a pan and stir-fry over medium heat, and finally pour into the cooked porridge and boil over high heat.The steps that are not easy for a child are smooth and smooth under He Huan's hands. Yao Qi leaned on the door and watched, and asked, why are you the only one at home?

"Huh?" He Huan looked back at him from the busyness, and smiled indifferently after realizing it: her mother has implemented the free-range policy since she was a child.She was reassuring and I was free.

"So both of you are on a business trip?"

He Huan smiled awkwardly and said, ah... I didn't hide it from you, but who would care about such a trivial matter?

Yes, compared to the years when their mother and son were mired in the mud and the years when they were wandering without a place, life is so good now that He Huan is unwilling to open his eyes from happiness .I am afraid that this dream will be broken at the touch of a button.

Yao Qi looked at him in silence, his pretty eyebrows frowned into a small mountain peak.

For the first time, He Huan, who was used to seeing people's hearts and always dealt with them fluently, seemed a little guilty under the gaze of others, then touched his nose and pulled away the chair to signal Yao Qi to sit down.Ling Ran, who was standing by the door, was still standing, showing no sign of appreciation.

A large blank space suddenly spread out in the air, and even the temperature inadvertently rose by several degrees.

Just when the two of them stared wide-eyed, the doorbell rang suddenly. He Huan hurried over and opened the door. It was Jiang He who was already standing at attention.He Huan breathed a sigh of relief silently, and suddenly realized that it was necessary for such an open-mouthed person like Jiang He to exist beside Yao Qi.

Without this person nagging to divert attention, those eyes would really freeze to death, He Huan thought, and shuddered subconsciously.

Yao Qi was not surprised to see Jiang He coming, but his attitude was not good at all, and he asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Once again, Jiang He, who was disliked for unknown reasons, had ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past, curled his lips, and said, CEO, there is an auction at six o'clock. You said you must not forget it, and I will pick you up.

"Has the alcohol level been tested? Can you drive?"

"I can't... so I brought the driver."

"Why don't you just ask the driver to come?"

Jiang He could only blink, but had nothing to say.

Yao Qi asked casually while stirring the scallop porridge in the bowl with a spoon, but even with such a laid-back attitude, he managed to drive Jiang He to a corner, unable to utter a word.

Sure enough, this person's lethality cannot be compared with that of ordinary people.

Half an hour later, He Huan was dragged and pushed behind the driver's seat, still in a daze.Yao Qi on the side explained casually, I will give you a gift as promised.

"Who would buy a gift with a lot of fanfare just because of a casual promise?" He Huan whispered, turning around, the person next to him had already closed his eyes and fell asleep, completely ignoring him.

Hengan is a well-known club in Daicheng. It is the first choice for businessmen to receive each other and the best choice for arty kids from rich families.The most famous event here is the auction held every spring and autumn.

Generally, there is not much Yuzhong and Tianmuzhong red sandalwood porcelain pastels at auctions. Most of the things that are brought up for auction are collected from all over the world by the organizers adhering to the creed of hunting for novelties.Of course, for the most part, it doesn't matter what is being auctioned.

The proceeds from each auction will be donated to poor mountainous areas for the education of left-behind children, but in fact no one has tracked the final flow of funds.In other words, find a novel way to make spending money more enjoyable.

Today, the auction home display is a racing driver who has dominated the track for many years.

He Huan didn't expect that he would be dragged here, watching the people in the exhibition hall keep raising signs and the atmosphere getting more and more intense, he just felt his brain hurt.

After entering the arena, Yao Qi handed over the cards to He Huan, signaling to him whichever one he likes to hold up.Halfway through the auction, He Huan still didn't move, looking at the stage with a gloomy expression.

Yao Qi took the sign and took a picture of a baseball cap. Looking back, He Huan still didn't respond, so he handed the sign to Jiang He to signal him to take down every other one.

As the price continued to rise, everyone's eyes gathered, Yao Qi did not dodge, and sat with his chest folded.Soon, the sound of bidding faded away, and only Jiang He was left to bid. In the second half, all the exhibits were collected.

Helmets, knee pads, wrist guards, gloves...

He Huan felt that his head had never hurt so much since he was a child.

"Double."

A strange voice sounded, and turning around, it was a man in a purple suit, looking at their direction leisurely.

Jiang He paused, looked at Yao Qi, Yao Qi raised his chin, indicating to continue.

"It's still doubled." The voice behind him followed closely like a ghost.

Yao Qi took the sign and held it up with a faint smile.

The host smiled brightly, and was about to award them a big red flower. He Huan looked back at Yao Qi and said, it was meaningless to do so.

"Still doubled."

He Huan looked at Yao Qi, and just as he was about to raise his hand again, he pressed his hand down, and said, so what if we win the fight?

Yao Qi put down his cards and said to He Huan, "As a child, you are too cautious."

The night was very cold that night, and the cool wind blowing on my body made me wake up instantly.

He Huan left the stage midway, attracting a lot of attention.

He originally thought that the group of benefactors who lost their minds were throwing money like crazy, but he didn't expect that it was him.

Yao Qi followed behind him not too far away, giving full play to the advantages of his long legs.They walked along the street in silence, and the street lights shortened and lengthened the shadows of the two of them.

Looking up, the night sky is full of dense stars.

Eight years ago, He Huan was seven years old.It was from then on that he began to be entangled by nightmares and began to plan his life step by step.For so many years, he has been walking on thin ice every step of the way, trying to feel the pain as real, so that he can clearly know that he is alive.

Therefore, he actually hates those who stand at the end from the very beginning to show what they have in a careless manner, and he hates this kind of unrestrained squandering even more.

He turned around, took a breath, looked at Yao Qi who was walking slowly and said, "Do you know that there are actually slums in this brightly lit city, and some people have nothing to eat when they are rich...

He was filled with righteous indignation.

Yao Qi stood still in front of him, bent down to look into the eyes that were as clear as Lingling Yequan, then put his index finger on his lips, and said softly: Shh...

He Huan froze for a moment, unable to say anything, just let the other party hold his hand and walk forward, just like a kindergarten child.

"I know, I know everything, but He Huan, have you forgotten that you are still a child?" Yao Qi said lightly.

He Huan, who was one step behind, could not help but feel sad when he heard the appropriate annoyance in his tone: How could he be led away emotionally by the other party!

Yao Qi, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to coaxing his children's career to raise a little pride, didn't know that he had set an excellent role model and would train a sharp knife with a smile in the future. A little relaxation would be a fatal negligence.

Thousands of miles away, at the police station in Yangyuan Mountain City, a policeman who had just taken over received a call. After several days of heavy rain, the mountain landslide, the road was broken and the bridge was destroyed. Someone was blocked on the road and asked for help.

The little girl who answered the phone called for help after confirming the exact location. The rescue order was issued quickly, but when the call was made back, only the electronic female voice kept repeating the reminder that the line was busy.

That is the southwestern border, the one hundred thousand mountains on the vast land.

An off-road vehicle lost its direction on a winding mountain road, just as a mudslide erupted and the vehicle crashed and killed.

When the police and medical staff arrived the next day, a car was buried by mud and rocks with only one tire left.After dispatching a large machine to dig out the man and sort out the relics, it was discovered that Yao Yu was written on the man's ID card.

In his arms, curled up a peaceful woman.

Even the police, who had seen too many murder scenes, felt sympathy at the moment, and remained silent.

"Yao Yu, Yao Yu, why are you so familiar?" Someone in the crowd asked.

Because the captain of the criminal police who came over after off-duty was stunned for a moment, he turned the man and saw a scar behind his ear, and his whole body tensed up instantly, saying that it might be from the Yao family in Daicheng.

After a while of silence, someone tentatively asked, "Young Master of the Yao family?"

"** is not far from ten."

Everyone present became inexplicably nervous following this explanation.

The Yao family, that is a family that has stood in Daicheng for 200 years, even though things have been restrained a lot and become more and more low-key, people can't help but sigh and hate the Yao family when they hear it.

Now, the much-anticipated young master of the Yao family suddenly died in the mountain area. If the one above made trouble, no one knew what the consequences would be.

Yao Qi got the news on the second day after the incident. He was about to go to work at eight o'clock in the morning. When he opened the car door, he saw Jiang He rushing over with a rare and solemn expression. Yuan suffered a landslide.

"Has a doctor been sent?"

Jiang He paused for two seconds and said, it was too late.

At that moment, Yao Qi suddenly remembered the absurd auction the night before, and the figure walking alone among those shadowy buildings.

He sat in the co-pilot, was silent for a long time, and then lit a cigarette.
