Survivorship Bias

    "What's your name?"

    Shen Ti always smiled and withdrew his hand.

    "Jesses." The man in front of him had a shriveled expression, and he didn't care to glance at An Wugui. The electronic business card appeared floating on the right side of his cheekbones, with the words written on it. with his name, phone number and position.

    "Come in with me."

    The two followed Jess, who was the leader, into a corridor filled with psychedelic lights like a time tunnel. Hit the heart.

    Obviously accepted the kiss passively, but the man's eyes stared straight at him.

    An Wujiu lowered his eyes to avoid suspicion.

    This place is pretty much what he expected, but it's more than he imagined.

    "Beautiful man, would you like a martini?" He spoke English with a strong French accent.

    An Wujiu was about to open his mouth to refuse, he stretched out a hand, wrapped his arms around his waist, and hugged him to the left.

    Shen Ti smiled and looked at the person who approached him, "Excuse me, what did you say?"

    The psychedelic blue light hit his face, changing like a kaleidoscope, the pressure between the eyebrows doubled, and the possessiveness was released without reservation.

      Shaking, he even complimented Shen Ti in his native language, "Your boyfriend is beautiful."

    "Thank you." Shen Ti also responded to him in French, then put his arms around An Wujiu and continued forward.

    “What did he say?” An Wujiu turned his head and asked.

    It's too noisy here, Shen Ti didn't hear him clearly, lowered his head slightly, leaned close to An Wujiu and asked him what was wrong.

    His deep voice was particularly deep and beautiful in this hormonal music, like throwing a black stone into a lake.

    But after turning the corner, Shen Ti let go of his hand very knowingly, and changed sides calmly.

    The right hand that was so innocent and injured was always close to him.

    An Wujiu is an observant person, he immediately felt the act of ironing.

    "Thank you."

    His tone was sincere and cute.

    Shen Ti also smiled, without turning his face, he just put his hand on top of his head and touched it lightly.

    Jess took them from the rotunda to the passage on the other side, the automatic door opened upwards, and the psychedelic electronic music hit like a tsunami.

      .

    Shen Ti smoothed out the bubble gum from the bar at the door, tore off the candy wrapper and threw a piece into his mouth.

    It's red wine, a little weird.

    Jess opened a path with both hands, and the three of them, like a string of jellyfish piercing a large school of fish, wandered unsocially to the other end of the ballroom.

    The people here are more emotional because they are watching a special striptease performance, the scene is lively, the hormones are rushing to the top of the head, and they have become sensual playthings. The dancers on the stage were indistinguishable genders, swaying, bills floating in the sky, and some tucked into the straps of their underwear.

    Really male.

    An Wujiu, who was obsessed with distinguishing between genders, just made his judgment, and Shen Ti pulled his head back.

    "I just see if they are male or female."

    An Wujiao came up to explain to Shen Ti.

    Shen Ti smiled and leaned into his ear.

    "What are you explaining to me?"

    In a trance, An Wujiu felt that his lips were touching his auricle, but for a moment, it was too short to distinguish.

    "It was you who broke me." An Wu Jiu's seriousness is so out of place here.

    Shen Ti shrugged, "I just want you to see the way."

    An Wujiao, who has always been first-class in logic, just lost.

    Jess walked around from the ballroom to the lounge at the back, and got on the elevator at the end.

      , still chewing bubble gum.

    Looking at himself again, Jess felt like he was a hotel receptionist for these two.

    He cleared his throat awkwardly, "How did you meet Gabriel?"

    Shen Ti waved his palm, put away the electronic screen, and began to use his mouth-full of train running skills again.

    "It's quite a coincidence, we met in a bar in the city, and it was raining the same as today, it was terribly cold, and he was still wearing Hawaiian clothes. , the exploding head of Duoyun, whoever sees it is amazing. I just chatted with him, but you know, his eyes are only on the beautiful body."

    "Indeed." Jessis agreed with his description, "His eyes can fall when he looks at beautiful women, and when you take anything from him, he can't react. ."

    This is too exaggerated. An Wu Jiu did not speak, quietly listening to Shen Ti lying.

    "Then I found out that my cousin turned out to be his former colleague. You said it was a coincidence, it just hit it off." Shen Ti smiled, even his gestures and small movements seemed very natural.

    Cousin…

    What a nonsense.

    "So it is." Jess was obviously relieved, and his face showed a little disdain that was not easily discernible, "He relies on the contacts of the former company to eat, jerk. Money comes so easily."

    Shen Ti and An Wujiu understood his jealousy and just smiled. Shen Ti practised Tai Chi, "That's right, whoever comes out now doesn't rely on some social connections to make a living."

    "Aren't you guys?" Jess teased, "When you grow up like this, I'm afraid the cash cow will be delivered to your door automatically."

    An Wujiu thought of what Zhong Yirou said before.

    Beauty is a real hard currency in today's society.

    The elevator door opened, and the three of them walked out. It was obviously much quieter than the downstairs, and the decoration was full of arrogance, which was very in line with Gabriel's own dressing style.

    An Wujiu paid attention to the monitoring positions, at least six.

    At the end, a red velvet door appeared in front of him, Jess rang the doorbell and called "Gabriel" again.

    There was no response, but they could hear the "movement" inside.

    Such an expensive decoration, the sound insulation is not very good.

    An Wujiu thought, fortunately Wu You didn't come along, otherwise he would be guilty of letting the children wander through the wine pond and meat forest.

    Jesses rang the doorbell again with a dark face, the person inside seemed to be at a critical moment and had no time to pay attention to him.

    "Lucy said it." Jess scolded in a low voice.

    Shen Ti smiled and looked like he was making a relief, "It's okay, you go to work first, we will wait here by ourselves."

    Jesses is a cautious guy, staring at Shen Ti's eyes for a moment, then thinking for a while, and finally a phone call interrupts his hesitation.

    "What did you say? Who are you? Yes, I'm Jesse...my e-check? Wait, I'll come down first." He hung up the phone and explained a few words to the two of them. He left in a hurry.

    Watching the back of Jesses leaving, until he disappeared at the corner, An Wujiu turned his face back and squinted at Shen Ti.

    Shen Ti chewed bubble gum and shrugged, "Yes, you guessed it right, it's so clever, I did it."

    Don't forget to flatter when you confess.

    An Wujiu raised an eyebrow, "What did you do?"

    This expression is a bit like when he was sick, Shen Ti thought.

    "I wrote down his number and sent it to Zhong Yirou, and asked her to call this person in ten minutes and take him away." Shen Ti said it lightly, but the completion was unusual smooth.

    "Why?"

    Shen Ti doesn't really want to answer this question.

    “Why didn’t you speak?” An Wujiu looked straight into his eyes.

    Shen Ti smiled, "Why do you like to get to the bottom of things so much?"

    "Why don't you ask yourself why you are so good-looking and let others stare at you one by one?"

    These words confused An Wujiu.

    His Adam's apple rolled up and down.

    Shen Ti likes to see him like this.

    But An Wugui gave an answer that he didn't expect, but it was really reasonable.

    "Because of genes."

    An Wujiu finished speaking, ignoring Shen Ti's laugh, turned around and rang the doorbell again.

    This time, the people inside finally responded, shouting "Who is it" extremely impatiently.

    Shen Ti answered, "Your partner ordered wine."

    An Wujiu looked at him and whispered, "What if the other party doesn't recognize him?"

    Shen Ti said boldly, "I just finished, how can I have the strength to dismantle my lie."

    As expected, the red velvet door slowly opened.

    Gabriel, who was still on the bed, put down the small remote control in his hand, lit a cigarette, and leaned against the head of the bed.

    He didn't lift his eyes, "Put it on the table."

    But he didn't hear the sound of the bottom of the wine glass hitting the table, so he looked up and was surprised to find two strange men at the foot of his bed.

    The very tall one blew a pink bubble at him.

    The bubble popped with a snap, and the green-eyed man waved at him, "Hi, Gabriel."

    Gabriel was shocked, pushed her sleeping partner away, and touched her hand under her pillow.

    "Stop holding a gun." Shen Ti smiled, "We're not here to make trouble."

    But Gabriel still held the gun handle and looked defensive, "What are you doing here? Who let you in?"

    "As long as you have the heart, you can't get in." Shen Ti raised his hands with ease and approached him, betting that Gabriel would not dare to shoot.

    A guy who has to be careful to make pre-orders when opening an adult club, I don't know how careful he is, he can simply give out the "Good Citizen Award".

    As expected, until he sat on the edge of the bed, Gabriel didn't grasp the hand of the gun, just stared at Shen Ti, not daring to let out one.

    "Are you the guest downstairs?"

    Shen Ti shook his head, "I'm just here to ask you something, I'll leave after I ask." He glanced at the blue-haired girl beside Gabriel, "You can still have another second half, I Make sure you don't delay things."

    "Get out." Gabriel turned to his bedmate.

    Hearing his words, the blue-haired girl picked up the clothes and left by herself. The two beautiful men who came were very gentlemen and didn't even look at them.

    "We want to find a patient," Shen Ti said straight to the point, and shook Gabriel's hand on the quilt, "My name is Eric, and I came here because of you. You can help me with this little favor."

    An Wujiu stood aside and felt a little thirsty, so he walked to the table and poured himself a cup of cold black tea.

    “This patient’s name is…” Shen Ti suddenly realized that he didn’t know An Wujiu’s mother’s name, so he turned his head and asked, “What’s it called?”

    "An Congnan." An Wujiu drank half a cup of tea, holding the cup in his hand.

    "It's called An Congnan, I can write it down for you." Shen Ti said to Gabriel, "An Congnan, the name sounds nice, right?"

    "An Congnan... No, wait." The two people in front of them came in inexplicably, making Gabriel confused, and was almost surrounded by them, "Who are you? Did you help?"

    "That's it, Gabriel." Shen Ti said halfway, and glanced at the gold chain around his neck, "This chain is good, where did you buy it?"

    "I did it myself." Gabriel replied following him.

    "The craftsmanship is really good," Shen Ti said with a smile, "with your ability, you can definitely find An Congnan, except you, I can't think of a second person who can do this."

    Gabriel frowned, "How do you find it just by a name?"

    An Wujiu almost laughed, he was fooled so quickly.

    "It's not just the name," Shen Ti said to Gabriel, "She was hospitalized in St. Georgia."

    "I was pushed down?" Gabriel felt that this was normal, but after a while he suddenly reacted, "No, when am I going to help you?"

    "Look, you are an old car." Shen Ti smiled and hugged his bronzed neck, "In this way, you make a request to us, and we will try our best to satisfy you, businessman. mutual benefit."

    Where did Gabriel want to get what request all of a sudden, Shen Ti's words were fast and dense, and he talked nonsense, which made his second monk confused.

    Thinking about it, Gabriel's eyes glanced at An Wu Jiao who was leaning against the table.

    Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes.

    "You...you look familiar..."

    Seeing this, Shen Ti was speechless. He scored three goals in one night.

    He patiently patted Gabriel on the shoulder with the back of his hand, "Hey, isn't this kind of chatting too old-fashioned?"

    But Gabriel's expression really didn't look like a lie. He tried to think about it, but he couldn't remember it, he was very painful and irritable.

    "It's annoying, it's very familiar, where did you see it..."

    An Wujiu raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Ti, walked towards the bed, "Have you seen me?"

    Gabriel looked up at him, "As if...have you been to Chauvin?"

    “No.” An Wujiu shook his head and rejected his guess.

    "Shouldn't you be? Have you been here?"

    An Wujiu shook his head once again.

    Gabriel scratched his explosive head irritably, the cigarette in his left hand burned his hand, he put out the cigarette with annoyance, turned his face, "what's the problem? , is male or female, age and appearance, give it to me."

    After he finished speaking, he tapped the back of his neck with his index finger, and an address appeared in front of them.

    Is this a promise?

    An Wujiu quickly sorted them out and passed them to the person in front of him.

    "Your mother?" Gabriel went through the information, "Does she look like you?"

    "Like."

    "It's hard to say, if you have a conscience, you can go directly to the black hospital. Except for the high debt, it's nothing. At least you can save your life. If you don't have a conscience, it's enough."

    Gabriel looked accustomed to it, "But St. Georgia should not be thrown away directly, and it is estimated that it will be transferred to an underground clinic. It will take some time to find it, you are afraid I don't know, in this block alone, there are more than a dozen black clinics, all of which do not have electronic licenses, and you can't find them at all."

    Shen Ti smiled, "So we're not here to find you."

    "You've found the right person." Gabriel took another cigar from the bedside table, lit it for himself, took a big puff, and exhaled a circle of white smoke.

    "You are the altar players, right?"

    An Wujiu stared at him.

    "You know what?"

    "You have different markings on your body." Gabriel held his cigar, "but you can't see it yourself, it's a red symbol, just above your head. Only us who don't participate. Ordinary people can see it."

    “What symbol?” An Wujiu asked.

    "It's a bit like the sun." Gabriel didn't bother to describe it, they couldn't see it anyway, he brushed it off, "Looking at your appearance, you should get along well at the altar, this kind of knife tip licks honey I can't do the job. But you're right." His cigar-holding hand nodded slightly.

    "The exchange is mutually beneficial, I will help you find someone, you have to do me a little favor."

    An Wujiu nodded slightly, "You said."

    Gabriel showed them a profile of a person.

    "Maguire, like you, he's hanging out at the altar. I haven't seen him in a long time, you find him for me, I heard the game in the altar is very easy If he died, it’s best to kill him, and even if he doesn’t, torture him for me.”

    Shen Ti smiled, "The enemy."

    "He's my brother-in-law." Gabriel's eyes flashed fiercely, "Domestic violence against my sister, almost beating her to death. I've long wanted to settle accounts with this bastard, but this guy is hiding at the altar Even if the game is over, I can't find his person. Don't be merciless, don't be soft-hearted when dealing with scum, and leave it to me when you've done your mother's business."

    They signed a contract.

    "The matching of gamers is random." An Wujiu reminded him.

    "It's alright, I don't think you are good at it." Gabriel smiled, "You can always run into each other as you play."

    The two came out of Gabriel's room and entered the elevator.

    “Isn’t Maguire the same person Yang Erci said last time? She has seen the player with the most points.” An Wujiu whispered.

    "Yes." Shen Ti smiled and stretched, "It's not easy."

    Exit the elevator, the two walked out along the same road, and passed the dance floor, a man directly started, calling "Sweetheart" to touch An Wujiu's collarbone, and was caught by An Wujiu Wrist, folded hard.

    The hooligan shouted while holding his dislocated wrist, and squatted down. An Wujiu staggered away from him mercilessly.

    "It's so fierce." Shen Ti leaned against him, deliberately making a scared look, "Why didn't you do it just now, is the guy who approached him more handsome?"

    An Wu Jiu didn't respond to his teasing, and went straight out, as things progressed, he felt more relaxed.

    Meeting Lucy at the door who was drying her toenails, Shen Ti said hi to her, and put the plastic roses from the ballroom on the way back on her counter as a thank you gift.

    Lucy blew a kiss back, "Aren't you going to work tonight?"

    Shen Ti didn't look back, he waved his hand behind him, "Tomorrow."

    Walking back to the street, the light rain had not stopped yet, when I came out of the crowded place, I felt a little depressed, Shen Ti took two steps to catch up with An Wujiu, put both hands in his pockets, walked As he walked, he slanted towards him.

    Almost fell down, An Wujiu stopped, put his hands on his shoulders, and ordered him in a serious tone, "Stand still."

    This is more and more cute in Shen Ti's eyes.

      An Wu Jiu is really about to stretch out his hand and stretch out a small, very restrained hug.

    "That bubblegum seems to be drugged, I'm so hot..."

    An Wujiu’s whole body seemed to have been electrocuted, his muscles tensed instantly, but he didn’t want to do anything to Shen Ti like he did to the man just now, even pushing him away Pulled with another unknown thought.

    "Really?" He put one hand on Shen Ti's back, and reached out with the other, and pressed the back of his hand to his side face, feeling the temperature.

    “It seems to be a little hot.” ​​An Wujiu suppressed the fast heart rate, “What should I do?”

    His voice trembled, but he didn't notice it.

    But Shen Ti heard it clearly.

    "Want to see..."

      "

    "What?"

    "Don't go to the doctor, just get some sleep."
