I don't know where the current hit the switch of the TV, and the screen lit up with a snap, and the picture was the news channel I watched before it was turned off yesterday.
At this time, it was near noon, and the news channel was broadcasting an interview with an expert, talking about the case of Ge Zhengqing, which had recently been rumored.
Marven Ye listened to each other, and the Xing family was also mentioned in it, but only a few words were mentioned. It can be seen that the main theme of this show is not in the Xing family.
He heard Riadonis in the kitchen calling him to get Kathy to dinner, so he slowly returned and knocked on the door of Kathy's bedroom.
Marven Ye: "Cathy, come out to eat."
After a while, Casey came and opened the door with a book in his arms.
Marven Ye looked down at her: "Which book are you reading?"
Casey showed the cover for him to see: "This... this..."
The little girl was not wearing a mask, and the scars on her lips were extremely conspicuous, but Marven Ye had been used to it after watching it for more than three months.
He was surprised by another thing: "You didn't read this yesterday, so you've already read it?"
Casey nodded: "Um..."
Since this short-term predictor came to China, she no longer has to hide in Tibet. Although she can't go to school like ordinary children because of her identity, Marven Ye helped her buy many fairy tale books, both in Chinese and English. By the way, I also helped her get a Chinese-English dictionary.
But now that the dictionary is with Adonis, the American seems to need the dictionary more than Casey. He has not yet been allowed to use electronic products that would leak information. The only old computer that can make calls is still under surveillance. He has no access to translation tools, so he can only improve his Chinese level through paper dictionaries.
During the meal, Adonis brought the noodles to the coffee table in the living room, Marven Ye brought a bunch of seasonings over, and Casey obediently helped move the small stool.
These three have developed the habit of eating and watching TV. The dining table in the living room is basically unused and has become a decoration.
And of course the most important point - Casey was so short that the little girl sat at the dining table and couldn't reach the plate.
The fragrant meat sauce noodles are in place, the spicy sauce is in place, the vinegar and sesame oil is in place, the chopsticks, forks and spoons are in place, and the small bench is in place.
Adonis: "Go!"
Casey raised his small fork: "Yeah!"
Marven Ye: "..." I'm so excited to eat noodles, I don't quite understand your crooked nuts.
The three of them were watching the news while eating. The two foreigners were not good at Chinese, but Marven Ye could understand them.
While eating, the female anchor on the TV said: "In the case of Xing Group's corruption and bribery, Xing Jianming's escape with money, the Supreme Court made a second-instance judgment today. Seventeen defendants, including Xing Jianming, Xing Yi... After the appeal was re-examined, the verdicts of the seventeen people are as follows…”
Before he knew it, Marven Ye had put down the tableware, and he stared at the TV intently, until the female anchor started to report another news before he let out a long breath.
Among the Xing family members who were sanctioned, there was no Xing Yuan.
This is really the best news in more than three months.
From the time they separated in Marven Ye's hut in April, until mid-July, Marven Ye and Xing Yuan have not seen each other again, and have not even called each other on the phone.
One of them was assigned a new task, and the other, under the strict supervision of the police, assisted in the investigation of a major criminal case between the Xing family and Ge Zhengqing.
As a tainted witness, Xing Yuan was closely protected by the special affairs department to participate in solving the case. After the incident, he started to stabilize his company. Marven Ye is quite laid back here, so he just supervises Adonis and Casey, and exercises his abilities every day.
It's just that there are other special forces of the military who are secretly monitoring him. In order to avoid suspicion, Ye Wenxuan does not want to contact Xing Yuan under the surveillance of these people.
Now it seems that Xing's case is almost over.
In the afternoon, Adonis was once again invited out by six plainclothes. He still needed to conduct assisted experiments with several biology and physics experts today, and then moved to a certain military region to conduct several teaching confrontations with an unknown army in the military region. Anti-war.
This kind of activity takes place almost every few days, and it can be regarded as some conditions for Adonis to compromise with the Ministry of Special Affairs and the Ministry of Military in order to stay in China safely.
Xing Yuan's phone call came in on this hot afternoon.
At that time, Marven Ye had already returned to his room. He closed the windows tightly, closed the curtains, and without using the remote control, the air conditioner automatically turned on with a beep.
The cold wind spread out slowly, Marven Ye fell on the bed, and clicked to answer.
It was an unfamiliar number. He wondered which telecom fraud was trying to fool the honest, and said lazily, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
There was silence for a few seconds.
Marven Ye was impatient: "Who, if you don't speak, I will hang up."
Someone sighed on the other end of the phone and said slowly, "My temper seems to be getting worse."
The man's voice was extremely familiar, his voice was deep and mellow, and when it came out of the receiver, it almost made people feel that even the ear holes began to itch.
Marven Ye reacted violently, and he rolled over directly from the bed.
"Xing... Xing Yuan?!"
Xing Yuan gave a low hum.
"You..." Marven Ye took two steps in the room, then stopped again, pulled out the chair beside the table and sat down: "I saw the news at noon, the Xing family was just convicted by the second trial today. What are you... I call?"
There seemed to be a lot of people on Xing Yuan's side, and the background sound was very noisy. He whispered something to the people. Marven Ye waited patiently for a while, and the noise on the other end of the phone became less, thinking that Xing Yuan finally found a quiet place.
The man was in a good mood, smiled and said to him, "I finally shoveled out this rotten dead tree."
Knowing that the "dead wood" he was talking about was actually the Xing family, Marven Ye said, "Where are you?"
Xing Yuan reported an address, and then said, "It was the company I opened myself without telling them."
"In the case of the Xing family, in fact, at the end of May, all the evidence was handed in. I recovered my freedom at the beginning of June, but at that time the company hadn't been rectified, and people were suppressed everywhere, so I was very busy for a while." He As if explaining his whereabouts during this period of time to Marven Ye, he slowly said, "I went to ask Zheng Xingguo, he said that you took on a new assignment, and I just thought, I will find you when the company's affairs are settled properly."
Marven Ye listened patiently, and waited for him to finish before asking, "Then have you dealt with it?"
Xing Yuan paused and said truthfully, "No."
Marven Ye: "Huh?"
Xing Yuan: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm always a little stunned. I couldn't help it, so I wanted to make a phone call."
Marven Ye: "… "
Damn, how do you want him to answer this? !
"That..." He coughed twice and said involuntarily, "I... miss you too... "
After saying this, he blushed, stood up from the chair, pursed his lips, walked a few steps to the edge of the bed, and threw his head into the pillow.
Xing Yuan: "Wen Xuan?"
"Hmm." Marven Ye said vaguely, "I'm here."
The man on the other side was keenly aware that his tone was wrong, and laughed to himself, Marven Ye was a little annoyed: "I'm going to hang up if there is nothing else, it's annoying."
The man said, "It's something."
Marven Ye: "What's the matter?"
Xing Yuan considered for a few seconds and asked, "Is your mission this time to stay by Adonis's side? How long will it take?"
"I can't say the exact time. After all, it's a secret mission, and we don't have a good relationship." Marven Ye thought for a while: "Anyway, we won't be able to leave in the near future. Adonis and Casey are too dangerous to be sure about their relationship. Safety, I have to keep watch over them all the time."
Xing Yuan sighed.
Marven Ye: "What are you sighing for?"
Xing Yuan: "I'm so worried."
He didn't say why he was worried, Marven Ye had guessed it by himself, so the two of them didn't go on, just listened to each other's breathing quietly.
After a while, Xing Yuan finally said, "Wen Xuan."
Marven Ye rolled over on the bed: "What are you doing?"
"I want to... discuss something with you very seriously."
"You say, I'll listen first."
The air conditioner hummed cold wind, lifted the curtains, brushed the youth's cheeks, and blew to the other side of the room.
The man's low voice overcame the whirring of the air conditioner outside the window, overcame the heart-piercing chirping of insects in the tiger vines that climbed the wall, and blew lightly into Marven Ye's ears.
"After this mission is over, let's try it together."
Marven Ye: "… "
Before he could turn the corner, the man on the other end began to speak slowly again.
"It took me five months to realize one thing from our first meeting until now."
"What... what...?"
"Wen Xuan." Xing Yuan whispered, "I love you."
Marven Ye held the phone, turned over, and fell off the bed with a plop.
××××××××
In February of the following year, W City, a certain community.
As the Spring Festival is approaching, young people working in other places are returning home one after another. In small residential areas that are not very lively on weekdays, there are people buying New Year's goods in front of and behind the building. They are all young faces, so lively.
It was already evening when Marven Ye got home, he got out of the taxi, the earphone was still hanging around his neck, and the man's voice came from the receiver was very casual: "You don't have to come back so early, I don't have a holiday here for the New Year, and I work overtime on New Year's Eve, I want to fly to S city to discuss business on the first day of the new year, and you won't see me when you come back."
Marven Ye carried the shoulder bag, put the mobile phone in the pocket of the windbreaker, and said, "It's as if I really bought a ticket to go back, tsk tsk, Mr. Xing, do you have a lot of inner drama?"
Xing Yuan smiled lowly: "You really didn't book a ticket?"
Of course Marven Ye said righteously, "No order."
Secretly, he exited the call interface, clicked on the ticket purchase APP, and secretly thought about whether to refund the ticket now.
Xing Yuan laughed twice on the other side, and suddenly said: "I'm fine on the fourth day of the first day, do you want to come to S City for a meeting?"
"The fourth day of the first year." Marven Ye lengthened his voice, looking reluctantly: "Haha, I will go to my relative's house to pay New Year's greetings that day, you can go to Disney to ride the carousel, bye bye!"
He saw a tall girl standing a hundred meters in front of him at a glance, and hurriedly said to the other end of the phone, "I'm home, we'll talk later."
After saying goodbye to the man on the other end of the receiver, Marven Ye hung up the phone, quickly put the earphones into his pocket, and strode over.
It was his old sister, Ye Shuxue, who was driven down by Mother Ye to greet the eldest son.
Ye Shuxue still had a chicken leg in his mouth, and when he saw him from a distance, after a few seconds of pause, he opened his mouth and said, "Ye Dasha, you haven't cut your hair in a few years? Damn... If we stand together, you're probably better than me. Be like a girl!"
Marven Ye went up and rubbed Ye Shuxue's short hair into a chicken coop: "Just like you, your breasts are not as big as mine, and no one will call you a beauty if you don't stand together."
Ye Shuxue went crazy: "Fuck!"
She raised her foot and kicked Marven Ye aside: "How can you really choose the time, when the old lady has eaten half of her meal, you have to come down and crouch under the tree to welcome your old man's return to the court."
Marven Ye walked into the unit building with the bag: "Where's our father and queen?"
Ye Shuxue: "I'm eating."
Marven Ye twitched the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, it's not his own, I haven't eaten yet."
Ye Shuxue: "Hey, it's as if the old lady has eaten too."
Marven Ye looked sadly at her mouth full of oil: "You didn't just eat it, and you don't know how to bring more chicken legs when you go downstairs. It's really cool in the world..."
Ye Shuxue: "Then BB beats you to death."
Marven Ye immediately changed his words: "Second fool, let's go quickly, our parents and our mothers are waiting."
Ye Shuxue: "Haha."
The Ye brothers and sisters climbed the stairs while talking sullenly. When they reached the second floor, the house on the right happened to open the door, and the man inside confronted the brothers and sisters.
Ye Shuxue pulled the chicken leg out of her mouth in a second, her greasy claws hidden behind her back, and a gentle smile appeared: "Hello, Brother Zhang."
The author has something to say:
##### Today's small attack seems to be a little green #####
Xing Yuan: "What do you and Adonis usually do?"
Marven Ye: "We play."
Xing Yuan: "Huh?"
Marven Ye: "See who is the fastest man."
Xing Yuan: "...Is it an hallucination... Suddenly I feel a little green on my forehead."
