him under the stars

Chapter 77

The cars lined up in a row were orderly and stopped at the same time as if they had been trained.The car door opened, and several people in Zhou Zheng's sharp police uniform stepped down in awe.

The woman who walked at the end had a slim figure, and the police uniform drew smooth and loose lines from her shoulder blades to her waist.He lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly, his face was pale and exhausted that could not be concealed.

Xu Xing "saw" herself walking towards her step by step, she had a faint premonition, and the sudden panic made "she" yell at herself: Don't go, stop!don't go...

She didn't listen to that.

Almost at the same time, the woman who was walking into the city bureau, who was following the group of people, stopped as if feeling something, and turned her head to look over, guilt and pain flashed very quickly in her eyes.

"What about him?"

She heard herself ask: "You are all back, how about him?"

Looking head-on, the police badge on Yao Wan's body revealed a cold luster.Her lips parted slightly, but the voice was suddenly buried, and the surroundings suddenly became pitch black and distorted.

"Come back and ask for marriage leave."

"Talk what you say."

"Kind of words."

……

"Come back and ask for marriage leave."

"Talk what you say."

"Kind of words."

……

"what!"

Xu Xing woke up suddenly.

The night was still, with moonlight streaming through the open windows.In the huge space, only her low panting sounded.

Dreaming again.

Sweat slid into the eyelids, causing a slight itching.Xu Xing flicked casually and pulled the quilt away.The exposed skin was instantly irritated, trembling slightly, and quickly calmed down.The heat brought by the heating dissipates in the air and gradually surrounds it.

"sister?!"

Xu An knocked on the door outside, his action was urgent: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Xing took off his pajamas and robe, and replied, "It's fine."

Xu An had already opened the door and came in. He fumbled on the wall, dimmed the lights and turned on the lights.

The soft light poured slowly, not dazzling.Following the light, he glanced at Xu Xing, took the kettle and poured a glass of water and handed it over, his voice lowered unconsciously: "Dreaming again?"

Xu Xing didn't answer, took the cup and hugged his legs in a daze.

Xu An hesitated for a while, and left without worrying, sitting on the edge of the bed with the quilt pressed. "Sister, you still don't want to believe..."

Xu Xing's hands trembled, and the cup almost fell on the bed.

Xu An reached out his hand to catch it very quickly, and when he raised his head, he met those dark and beautiful eyes.

"When will you return to the team?" Xu Xing looked away and asked calmly.

"The day after tomorrow." After Xu An finished speaking, he was silent for a while, glanced at the black eyes under her eyes, felt a pain in his heart, and saw her book a ticket with her mobile phone, and the location was as expected in Nancheng. Yes, it slipped out of his mouth: "The people who were sent to the rescue at that time said there was no hope, and the memorial service has been passed for three months, sister..."

Xu Xing didn't know if he heard it, but his expression didn't move a bit anyway, until the ticket was booked, then he drank the water in the cup in his hand, put it on the bedside table, lay down on his side, and said in a clear and flat voice, "I want to Sleep, go out."

Xu An was silent for a few seconds, then closed the door and left silently.

……

"What about him?"

"Sacrificed." Yao Wan said with difficulty: "There was an accident in the operation. In order to save the hostages... there were many police officers at the explosion site, and they saw it with their own eyes."

……

It has been half a year since he left.

How did you get here these days?

Xu Xing curled up and slowly closed his eyes.

outside the house.

Xu An didn't go back to the room, but stood on the balcony, watching Xi Guang spread in the sky bit by bit, then moved his stiff body, and went downstairs to buy breakfast.

The porridge shop that Xu Xing used to eat was across the street, not far or near.Because it is quite famous, he waited for more than half an hour before buying it.Xu An usually seldom does these things, and he doesn't know how to bring an insulated box. Relying on his good skills, now he walks fast with the packing bag in both hands.

When passing the road at the gate of the community, he stopped for a while.

There was a circle of people there, and there was a car on the side of the road.The boos and sighs of the elders and mothers were mixed with sharp shouts and faint cries of children.

He subconsciously wanted to go forward, but out of the corner of his eye, he had already caught sight of the ambulance coming, so he protected the breakfast in his hand and passed through the crowd without looking sideways.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back.

The insulated box that no one cares about rolled down on the ground... It feels familiar!

……

Shi Xiaojin received the news after Xu Xing was sent to the hospital, and ran out before he had time to ask for leave, was pulled into the car by Xu Zhang, and drove there at a fast speed.

When Xu Xing arrived, she was still undergoing surgery, her face was pale and her legs went limp on the spot, almost kneeling on the ground.

Xu Zhang had been on guard for a long time, and quickly picked her up on the seat, took out his cell phone to make a call, and said in a very cold tone, "Ask the traffic brigade to adjust the monitoring, let me check! I want to see which grandson dares to ..."

"It was an accident." Xu An, who was leaning against the wall, said, "There was a parent who didn't pay attention, and the child ran into the road. My sister did it bravely."

Xu Zhang paused.

"Don't use your detective tactics." He sneered, "If it wasn't for Han Chen, my sister wouldn't be like this."

Act bravely? !
Are you really brave for righteousness or do you want to find a justifiable way to die?

Over there, Shi Xiaojin propped his face with his hands, his lips trembling in pain when he heard the words, and he couldn't say a word in a daze.

……

The effect of the anesthetic gradually wears off.

Pain was felt after regaining consciousness.

In the blur, Xu Xing heard someone whispering in his ear, "Go to sleep, the pain won't hurt when you fall asleep."

Only then did she realize that she had been crying for pain.

Really can't see Xu Xing like that, Shi Xiaojin closed the door of the ward, exited silently, was leaning against the wall in a daze, suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulder.

Xu Zhang glanced inside, and said in a low voice: "You also watched for a day and a night, go back and rest."

Shi Xiaojin shook his head: "I don't want to go."

Xu Zhang didn't persuade him any more.

It's not that there is a case, the rest of the team can't wait to come over and guard it.

Something happened to the boss, they couldn't even protect the boss's woman well, how could they explain to him when they went down in the future? !
"We didn't know she was back." Shi Xiaojin murmured with his head down, "Miss Xiaoxing still doesn't believe that the boss has left."

So I searched in Nancheng alone, and refused to come back.

Shi Xiaojin is no longer the reckless girl she was back then. Newcomers to the city bureau all know that the one who is good at simulating portraits is a hard stump.

She thought that she had grown up, but she didn't expect that it would still be useless to meet the old people.

Xu Zhang quietly looked at the long corridor of the hospital, and said after a while, "She has already believed it."

I believe the boss is gone.Otherwise... why didn't Han Chen say a word just now?Perhaps, it was because the boss was not around that she was in so much pain.

……

Xu An arranged everything in a hurry, and on the day he was about to leave, it suddenly snowed.

Snowflakes fell all over the sky, and in a blink of an eye, everything in sight turned silver.The sky was still dark, he gently pulled up the quilt and lifted it up.

Xu Xing's side face was hidden in the soft pillow and hair, appearing particularly quiet and fragile.He took one last look and took the luggage.

As soon as he turned around, he was pulled.

"Can you not leave?"

Xu Xing closed his eyes, and his voice was as soft as a whisper: "An'an, sister can't take it anymore."

"..."

Xu An's eyes were sore and swollen for a moment.

"Sister..." He started, but was interrupted.

"Forget it." Xu Xing withdrew his hand and shrank into the quilt. "I fell asleep."

It can't be stopped, and it's impossible to stop it.

Between the siblings, one pretended to be asleep every time, and the other left quietly.

Xu An knew why Xu Xing lost his composure this time.Just because I knew it, I felt that I was a bastard... just like that bastard brother-in-law.

How could you just leave like this? !
Isn't it very powerful and able to fight?
How come the joint operation organized by the Ministry of Public Security, with the cooperation of so many police officers, can't come back?
Do you know how sad my sister is?
……

There was the sound of the door being gently closed. Xu Xing lay on his back for a while, then walked barefoot to the French window.The familiar figure in the garden downstairs of the apartment is fading away, and it still has the slender and tough youth, but it has grown upright and solid.

She stood for a moment and opened the drawer of the desk next to her.

It is filled with Su cigarettes that Han Chen used to smoke the most. The silver and textured box body is very similar to his style.

Mosha smoked for a moment, then she suddenly smiled.The match struck and lit.

Smoke curled up and scattered among the heavy curtains.

It was a month later that I saw Yao Wan again.

Xu Xing had just recuperated from his injury and was planning to leave for Nancheng the next day, when she paid a sudden visit and came to the door in the dark of night.

The moment he opened the door and saw that it was her, Xu Xing's expression froze for a moment.

Yao Wan's complexion couldn't look any better either - the smell of cigarettes in the house was so strong that she could smell it even standing at the door.

After staring carefully for a while, she said in a very serious tone: "Xu Xing, if I find out..."

"No." Xu Xing smiled lightly, and took a step back to get out of the way. "How could I touch the things he took his life to clear?"

She opened the window, leaned on the side, lit a cigarette familiarly, put it in her mouth, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Yao Wan stood at the door without moving for a moment.She looked at Xu Xing, who held the slender cigarette between her fingers, who was familiar yet strange, her throat seemed to be choked by something, and her throat felt astringent.

She thought: Han Chen, do you know that this girl has no light in her eyes anymore?
Only after the smoke had burned for a while did Yao Wan react.

"We caught someone," she said. "The police need your help."

Xu Xing flicked the cigarette ash, a little funny: "What can I help? Besides... the [-] Sky case that shocked the whole country, hasn't the dust settled long ago?"

Metropolitan newspapers, TV stations, major online self-media... overwhelming praise and tribute.

Unfortunately, there is no Han Chen in it.

Like other sacrificed martyrs, he disappeared in the dust, unknown, and only lived in the hearts of a small number of people.

Yao Wan was silent for a moment, and said: "We failed to capture the organization leader Seven in that operation. And the major suspect..." She slowly said: "You know him."
