Enchanter

Chapter [-]: The City That Never Sleeps

Ye Yu Xiaoxiao, in front of an old public telephone booth, Yin Hui dialed the number 110: "Hi, is this the Public Security Bureau! Who am I? I am an enthusiastic public! Yes, yes, yes, hurry to xx Road xx bar, I gave you a big gift!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to respond, Yin Hui put down the microphone.

At night, the drizzle was mixed with the whistling cold wind, roaring past him who was alone from time to time.

I don't know how long I walked, but the shops on both sides of the road were closed, leaving only the dim street lamps, which looked so bright in the drizzle.

Today is the [-]th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the Menglan Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival.Therefore, the flow of people in the funeral parlor was several times higher than usual. The mountains in front and behind were full of chrysanthemums and laying papers. Tang Yan, who was a makeup artist, had no choice but to choose to work overtime.

After getting off the last bus, Tang Yan was already on the branch when she was about to go home.

Stopping, she squinted and looked back.Behind him is the dark road, and the number plate of the bus can be seen sparsely.The melancholy clouds were thick and covered the moon completely, not even a ray of moonlight could come through.As the cold wind blew past, Tang Yan couldn't help but sneezed.

At this moment, a windbreaker was placed on Tang Yan's shoulders from behind, giving her the warmth she wanted in an instant.

"Who?!" Tang Yan raised her head vigilantly, her thin but curvy body looked surprisingly alluring in the dimness.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Yin Hui took out a cigarette from his pocket, without needing a lighter, just waved his hand, and the cigarette ignited spontaneously.He took a deep breath on the filter, and when he saw Tang Yan's somewhat allergic expression, he stomped out the cigarette butt with his toe, straightened up, and did not care whether the people behind followed him or not, and just looked after himself. Go forward.

"Wait, why are you here?" Tang Yan stepped on high heels, carrying a white satchel, and hurried all the way behind.

"I know you work overtime at night, and you're afraid of accidents. I came here to pick you up. It's not bad. I happened to meet you on the platform." Yin Hui put ten fingers in his pocket, and his long bangs covered his other eye.

"pick me up?"

"How long have you been waiting?"

"Er... this question has been asked for about two hours!"

Tang Yan opened her mouth and was about to speak, but seeing Yin Hui's indifferent expression, she finally lowered her head stubbornly.

"Yin Hui——"

"What's the matter? Miss." Yin Hui raised his wrist and looked at the scale on the watch: "You are so merciful, will you do well? Hurry up and catch up on sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow! "

"No... that's not what I meant." Tang Yan's slightly red cheeks faltered a bit: "I just want to say thank you!"

Although the voice was as thin as a mosquito humming, it entered Yin Hui's ears word for word. At this moment, he couldn't help but slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh, but realized that the situation was a bit embarrassing. The lip line was pulled back to its original position, pretending to be indifferent.

"Okay, which one of us is with whom! Let's go!"

I don't know why, but I always feel a little uncomfortable walking with this girl. Could it be that I am shy?Confused.Therefore, Yin Hui decided to devote 90.00% of his attention to the surrounding night scene, and the remaining [-]% was to stay between Tang Yan's skirts, of course, only occasionally.

At work, Yin Hui and Tang Yan are colleagues, both senior employees of the Beijing funeral parlor.In life, they also happen to be neighbors. Of course, it may be more appropriate to explain it as a shared renting relationship, because the two are under the same roof.His home is her home, and her home is also his home, but it is stated in advance that the relationship is pure.

As night fell, the lights came on.

The whole city is like a modern beauty with heavy makeup and light makeup, fashionable and dazzling.The neon lights are shining in a confusing light, which fascinates people's eyes and hearts...

Those high-end hotels are brightly lit, and there must be someone inside who is pushing and changing glasses, in order not to get drunk.The glass curtain walls of those office buildings turned into huge display screens, switching between different advertising images and slogans.

The shadow of the lights reflected in the river water is a kind of confusing effect - the river water, is it also fascinated by this bustling city?

But probably not.Maybe it must just be smiling.

Look up, there are no stars in the sky.Yes, just darkness, not a single star.This made Yin Hui feel a little sad.

A city without dreams is realistic, and a city that is too realistic makes people lonely and even desolate.

Yin Hui is not a troubadour, nor can he write sensational rhetoric.But he admits that he really can't see through this city, she is too beautiful, too prosperous, and has too many disguises.

I don't know if there is anyone like me in this city that never sleeps, lonely in the bustling, dying in the lonely.

As he was walking, Yin Hui's train of thought was interrupted by the sound of an engine. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a brand new BMW x6 parked by the side of the road. A familiar figure was opening the door, ready to go in.

Isn't that Tang Xing?Yin Hui was a little surprised.That's right, it's really this kid. After graduating from university, I haven't heard from him. I heard the buddies in the dormitory talking in the group, saying that he got married to the mayor's daughter and stepped into a high-paying management team.It is a pity that it is said that the daughter's appearance is really hard to compliment.

Tang Xing was dishonest at school, he liked to pry the corner of the wall, and when he saw a friend around him looking for a beautiful younger sister, he would break his heart. Yin Hui had a junior girlfriend who was pried away by him in this way, causing him It's very embarrassing in front of the younger brother.

Now that he met her today, he wants to see if Tang Xing's wife is really like what his classmates said on the Internet, if a man sees it, he will lose his basic physical desire.

"Tang Xing!" Yin Hui tried to call out.

Seeing Yin Hui calling someone's name inexplicably, Tang Yan asked in surprise, "Who is your name?"

Yin Hui pointed to the man in front and said, "I saw a college classmate, I don't know if it's him."

In fact, Tang Xing saw Yin Hui's figure just now, and his first feeling at that time was that he was a little surprised.After all, meeting someone in the middle of the night who I haven't met for more than a year is somewhat unexpected.I wanted to pull the woman beside me to hide.But after the other party called out his name, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay.

He straightened his Italian suit with a smile on his face, and when Yin Hui walked in front of him, he held his hand kindly: "Oh, it's Yin Hui, what a coincidence, I will meet you here."

Yin Hui smiled and said, "Yeah, I haven't seen each other since I graduated."

Seeing a beautiful woman beside Yin Hui, Tang Xing's eyes began to glow: "Who is this?"

Yin Hui was about to tell Tang Yan's identity, but unexpectedly, Tang Yan took his conversation away. She suddenly grabbed Yin Hui's arm intimately, and said to Tang Xing, "I am Yin Hui's girlfriend, and my name is Tang Yan."

Yin Hui glanced at Tang Yan in surprise, and found that she was smiling at him strangely. Yin Hui didn't know why Tang Yan called her his girlfriend, but at this time, he couldn't point it out in person.

Tang Xing seemed to be very envious of Yin Hui having such a beautiful girlfriend: "Yin Hui, you have always been lucky. It was like this in college, and it is like this now. By the way, this is my wife, Chen Jin."

Chen Jin, it turned out that he was no different from the one in the legend, he really looked a bit ugly, not only the shape of his face was not very good-looking, but what was even more frightening was that there was a scar on the left side of his face, which seemed to be burnt.
