Wanderer

125 The Way Forward

Bai Yunqi has no official status, and he didn't intend to attend Baikang's funeral at all. He always did the finishing work and handover work as quickly as possible. Wen Hai told him not to worry, but he was surprisingly stubborn, wishing he could be with Wen Hai that day Pack the suitcase together and fly back to Tongcheng.

The female manager was fired in the end, and she left with a cardboard box in her arms, but she was not disappointed, trying her best to maintain the dignity of a professional woman. She met Bai Yunqi at the elevator entrance who was about to go downstairs. The two had a brief conversation. The small company’s recruitment has passed the first round of re-examination, but the boss is an old woman like Xue Yanmei, who treats people of the same gender very meanly. She wins in qualifications and experience, loses in gender and age, and the overall hope is slim.

"It's a big deal to start as a clerk." The woman smiled relaxedly, "There is always a way to go."

Bai Yunqi asked her to wait for a while, stood at the door and made a phone call, then handed her a business card. The entrepreneurial team that simulated business warfare he participated in when he was in college has now made a name for himself, chatted a few days ago At that time, the current boss mentioned that the company was full of young people who were aggressive and unreasonable. They lacked a stable and experienced person as a safety plug. It was best to be a woman. When they reached a certain age, most women could recognize reality better than men. With naive longing and blind superiority.

She suddenly became the best candidate for a position, and the woman was very surprised, it turned out that there are really pies in the sky.

As long as you are alive, there is always a way to go.

Wen Hai had nothing to do in the capital for a few days, so he went to see Ye Maoxing and Shen Jiming. Zhang Shulin and his brother Ye went out in pairs. On average, they quarreled for 3 minutes and quarreled for 10 minutes. After the quarrel, they started to get tired again. Crooked, Shen Jiming's family went to Africa to take orders, he and Wen Hai sat side by side eating hot boiled mutton, winking at Zhang Shulin while eating, the two of them secretly flirted with each other , was finally fulfilled one by one by the unbearable Ye Maoxing.

Shen Jiming was beaten so hard that he had nowhere to hide, so he threw himself into Wen Hai's arms, hugged his neck and said tearfully, "Haihai, Haihai, don't you love me? Didn't you say I belonged to you back then? "

The most innocent Wen Hai didn't have time to answer, a shadow suddenly covered the top of his head, Bai Yun, who came to pick him up, stuck his coat pocket in his coat pocket and looked at the two with a smile, "Are you busy?"

Fearing that the excitement would not be enough, Zhang Shulin half-lyed on Ye Maoxing's body and answered, "It's okay Xiaoqi, of course we chose to forgive you, Brother Wen."

This incident ended with Wen Hai almost putting Shen Jiming into the mutton pot. Bai Yunqi said to go drive, ignoring Wen Hai's repeated explanations, and left him alone at the door of the restaurant. The three bastards looked at the The back of the miserable wind and rain laughed, and Shen Jiming suspected that his life was long, so he dared to get close to the person, and before the fist fell on the face, he suddenly asked seriously: "That's the end of the evil master?"

Wen Hai said indifferently: "What else can I do?"

His tone of saying this is not angry, it's just a joke, it's okay to ask, if it's like this or not, it's probably not satisfactory enough, it's okay, it's not as good as it is, and he won't miss it anymore.

Shen Jiming handed him an envelope, saying that since this is the case, I won't hold this thing for you, and you should find a place to burn it yourself.

Wen Hai took it and opened it, and found that it was the earliest suicide note left by him. It was written more than ten years ago when he first entered the Drug Enforcement Bureau, and it was not properly kept. The paper was yellow and brittle, and he held it in his hand. The wind almost shattered it.

Seeing that he didn't avoid it, Shen Jiming simply turned his head to look at it—it was a blank piece of paper with the words "Wen Hailiu" written on it.

"..."

Wen Hai crumpled the paper with a smile, and explained to Shen Jiming, who felt that he had been played like a monkey for so many years, that he had nothing to say at that time, he could not find hope in life, and he did not have much regret in death, but he felt I still want to keep something, in case someone can remember him, at least there is a memorial.

Shen Jiming asked: "If you were asked to write such a suicide note now, how much would you want to leave behind?"

Wen Hai thought for a while, "It doesn't seem like there are many, but I still have something to say."

Shen Jiming nodded, "Some say it's a good thing."

Suddenly curious, Wen Hai threw back the frustrating question: "If you leave a suicide note, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Yes." Shen Jiming was affectionate in the blink of an eye, stretched out his hand to straighten Wen Hai's collar, and gently patted away the lint on his coat, "I wish I could meet you when you were not married, Hai Hai, in the next life you You have to fall in love with me first."

The small sports car stopped in front of the two of them, and Bai Yunqi lowered the window, showing a kind smile, "Are you still busy?"

The insane laughter of Ye Maoxing and Zhang Shulin drifted over from afar, and Wen Hai began to regret why he took the call from these two grandsons to come out for dinner today.

Sitting in the car, before Bai Yunqi could make a sound, Wen Hai immediately threw himself to the ground, and said in a heavy tone, "I was wrong."

Bai Yunqi only said "um" and ignored him.

"The next thing you should say is 'what's wrong with you'?"

"Where are you right?"

"Are we arguing?" Wen Hai was surprised, "Or did we finally start the stage of domestic cold violence that all couples must go through, and then we seem to be divorced, beat each other, bloody, and then let my colleague come over to us Collect the body?

"...Aren't stories like this kind of beginning usually separated in one shot and going their separate ways?"

"Oh—no wonder," Wen Hai suddenly realized, "So you thought it all out."

Bai Yunqi suddenly changed the subject: "Bo Kang left me a house on the shore of Green City."

Wen Hai said "hmm", "Are you going to raise another child in there or give it to me as a divorce gift? We have discipline, and if you give it to me, it should be confiscated."

"Would you like to raise you?" Bai Yunqi became serious, "I sold that house and bought a small apartment elsewhere, looking for a quieter location, and save the rest of the money when Bai Kang gave me this The wages paid for a few months, or put it in the account of the non-profit organization..."

When he said this, his expression changed from the "reasonable and unforgiving" just now to becoming more and more embarrassed. He had never intervened so forcefully in Wen Hai's life. Changing a house is equivalent to changing the trajectory of life, equal to Abandoning the previous basic necessities of life, starting to look for new convenience stores, new vegetable markets and new bus stops, meeting some new neighbors, having some new conflicts, and adapting to some new daily habits. Lost many memories, and Wen Hai seems to be a nostalgic person.

The more he said it, the more he regretted it, he didn't know why he brought it up, everything went well recently, he probably got carried away with complacency.

Hearing the little brat talking nonsense, stuttering and looking forward to the future for him, Wen Hai remembered what Shen Jiming had just asked himself. If he were asked to write a suicide note now, there would still be very few things that could be put on the paper. A person with a conscience who loves life too much, but suddenly regrets that he has another way of living that he has not tried. There is someone who loves him so much, but he can only leave one step ahead.

After Bai Yunqi delivered an impromptu speech, he happened to arrive at the hotel parking lot. He stopped the car and waited silently for the man who had not said a word from the beginning to the end. His eyes were as bright as stars in a smoggy day.

Wen Hai nodded casually, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Buy a house or move?"

"It's all up to you." Wen Hai said, "I'll be in charge of you from now on."

Fortunately, there are still a few decades left in the rest of my life, which is not long, but it is barely the second half of my life.

Since both sides are eager to get a man named "Bo Yunqi" away from Kang Yue as soon as possible, all the procedures can be simplified as simple as possible, and they can be accelerated without delay. Bai Kang's first seven days have not yet passed, and the office that originally belonged to him It was replaced by another person, all departments were noisy, and from now on I was more in awe of Bo Yue, this woman was too resourceful, Bo Yunqi was just like Bo Kang when he was young, even more cunning and less sympathetic, so unexpectedly Can lose to her.

The day before leaving, Bo Yunqi and Professor Kong went to see Kang Yue. This time they didn't talk about money, they just talked about social feelings. The overall atmosphere was pleasant. After going out, Professor Kong let out a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Bai Yunqi : "It's really hard work for you, I thank you for those families."

Although he didn't make it clear, Professor Kong also guessed from the same surname and Bai Yue's few words, the price Bai Yunqi paid to find this long-term meal ticket, he said that he was about to bow, and was quickly helped by Bai Yunqi Living.

"We all want to thank you." Bai Yunqi found that Professor Kong was looking at the scar on his hand, but stopped hiding, "I hope it's not too late."

There are not many things that Bai Yunqi wants to take away. He has no requirements for the quality of life. He always only carries the necessities of life in a light and simple way. Two suitcases, he and Wen Hai each carry one, and he keeps the key of the sports car. At the front desk of the hotel, I called the Park Hyatt assistant to pick it up.The hotel is still far from the airport, he had a whim and said he wanted to take the subway there, Wen Hai let him go, just as a support for low-carbon environmental protection.The two of them went to squeeze the subway early in the morning, and each car was like a can of sardines. Bai Yunqi hugged Wen Hai to circle a small space in the corner, as if Wen Hai was standing in the university with her arms around him many years ago. Downstairs in the dormitory, there are people inside and out, listening to each other's heartbeat and breathing.

Wen Hai was held in Bai Yunqi's arms, and he just half leaned on the shoulders of the people behind him to deal with the work. The work group was full of ecstasy, full of safety symbols and "Team Wen, come back quickly, I can't bear it alone" Chai Fanwen simply changed the group name to "Caring for Wenhai Work on Time Squad". After asking, he found out that two major cases occurred in the east and south of the city. fryer until now.

"The family of the deceased insisted that the wound was cut by a kitchen knife, and that the murderer was a widow who lived across from him, and that the forensic doctor took money from her family." Chai Fanwen said, "Sister Su couldn't explain why she closed the door to thank guests. It's smashing the glass in our break room."

Wen Hai suddenly covered the screen, turned his head to look at Bai Yunqi, who consciously acted as a human wall, and by the way "peeped" Wen Hai's mobile phone screen generously, and did not dodge if he was caught, and even pointed towards Wen Hai confidently He raised his eyebrows.

"Close your eyes." Wen Hai said, "It's not suitable for children, you just had breakfast."

Bai Yunqi nodded obediently, leaving a slit in the middle of his eyelids after closing his eyelids, allowing him to swim through two koi carps.

A super-clear recent photo of bloody flesh jumped out from the high-score screen. The maggots around the wound seemed to be wriggling onto his hands. Added some close-ups.

Bai Yunqi: "..."

Don't let this person into the kitchen in the future.

"Go to the vegetable market to buy a piece of pork and take a kitchen knife, and let the family members cut it themselves." Wen Hai replied, "If you can cut a wound in this shape, I will take off the police uniform and let him wear it to investigate the case."

"Brother." Chai Fanwen sent a series of noisy voices, "Why don't you arrest the leader of the trouble for a few days. I want to see you by name. I heard that you are not here and I am going to dig your ancestral grave."

Wen Hai: "Consult with Bureau Liu. I'll go to Sister Su first at work tomorrow... Fuck, tomorrow is Saturday."

"Ah? What the hell?" Chai Fanwen was about to cry, "Could it be Friday? Why do I feel like I haven't had a holiday this month?"

It looks like it's the end of the fucking month.

"It's too miserable." Bai Yunqi showed an unbearable expression, "You really don't want to be my assistant? I promise to strictly abide by the Law on the Protection of Labor Rights and Interests."

"Shen Jiming said that I would go and work for him as the team leader and give me this number." Wen Hai compared the numbers, "How much is Boss Boss going to ask me for? I will work 24 hours a day all year round, with food and lodging included. Sleep, there are not many zeros, can't you justify it?"

Bai Yunqi wrapped Wen Hai's hand, leaned into his ear and said in a dangerous tone: "Who did you mention again?"

Let's just say it, this "gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands", and scratched Wen Hai's ear that was already starting to turn red with his teeth.

"..." The physiological reaction was really beyond the controllable range. Wen Hai shuddered all over, and immediately became honest, and swore to the sky: "I will not go no matter how much money I give. When the motherland abandons me, I will give it to you." You are always working with money.”

They rubbed shoulders in the subway, and arrived at another transfer station. The people in the carriage were squeezed so that their heels were almost off the ground. The two people who got off at the terminal station took a few steps back to the corner. Hugging him even tighter, Wen Hai asked him with a smile: "Aren't you hot?"

Bai Yunqi didn't speak, and sat halfway on the suitcase, with his head resting on Wen Hai's shoulder. Last night, he was dealing with some accounting issues and new files of the non-profit organization, and had a video conference with his colleagues in Tongcheng. In the middle of the night, I was inexplicably sleepy at the moment, very sleepy, and my mind was empty.

Wen Hai gave him one of the earphones, which contained pure music for the cello, and then stopped moving, listening to the breathing of the people behind him getting slower and slower.

After boarding the plane, Bai Yunqi fell asleep again, with Wen Hai's earphones still plugged into his ears, which randomly looped to LinkinPark, thanks to which he was able to close his eyes.Wen Hai cut a slow song, asked the flight attendant for a blanket, and wrapped her up tightly, like a baby.

Wen Hai carried a laptop with him. He was nominally asking for leave, but actually he was still working remotely. The criminal investigation team was so busy that he couldn't afford to pile up all his work for nearly a week to go to work.After writing a meeting report, he clicked Save, and saw a resignation letter lying in the storage folder. He wrote this resignation report for five or six years, with deletions, revisions, additions and subtractions, and the reasons became more euphemistic. The wording became more and more polite, and in the end even the post of inscription was completely changed, and it was still a draft that only he himself had read.

He also couldn't think of what else he could do after he resigned. Maybe he could find an easy job with Shen Jiming or Bai Tong'an. Yes, he used to want to study ancient Chinese or English and American literature. If he hadn't gone to the police academy, he might be a university teacher now. Of course, it's just a possibility.Just like he is just thinking about it now, things haven't reached the point where he has to go, and he doesn't have no love for his current job, and he might just live in this life.

It's better not to be too greedy, he lived a mess in the first half of his life, and he shouldn't have extravagant expectations in the second half of his life. He should be content with being able to sleep with someone so peacefully beside him.

When the plane was about to land, Bai Yunqi woke up. He had a dream. In the dream, he was chased and beaten. He ran desperately along an alley, and finally ran into a dead end. It seemed that his life had come to an end.

When I woke up and opened my eyes, the sun was shining through the porthole. It turned out that everything was fine. When I raised my head on the ground, I could still see the cloudless sky.

Wen Hai turned his head to look at himself, the sun was also on him, singing old love songs slowly in the earphones, the man's eyes were bright, and he was smiling.

He felt that this moment was suitable for kissing, so he did it.
