Shen Qiu originally wanted to say something.
However, Huang Dan at the side said first: "President An has spoken, so let's stay for one night. It will save us from trouble on the way back, and we can also catch up with each other."
"What Huang Dan said makes sense. There's no need to rush. Just stay here tonight."
Cao Kun also persuaded Shen Qiu.
"All right."
Seeing everyone say this, Shen Qiu did not refute. The main reason was that it was getting dark, and he felt a little uneasy.
"That's right!"
Huang Dan reached out and patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder.
"Since you're staying, let's help Dean An prepare dinner."
Zhao Lian suggested with a smile.
"good!"
Cao Kun and others responded with a smile.
Zhao Anyuan looked at the smiling faces and also smiled with relief.
…
Night gradually enveloped the earth.
In the huge city of clear sky, all the decorative lights and street lights of the buildings were lit up.
The whole city was brightly lit, but there were few people on the streets, and even the traffic volume had dropped drastically.
There were only patrolling guards and soldiers.
At this moment, a wisp of gray mist suddenly began to rise in the air.
On the Seventh Ring Road, Tianke Street.
Lin Sakiyu and Liao Kai leaned against the street lamp, staring at the desolate street in a daze.
At this time, Liao Kai slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a puff.
"Phew, this mess of days, when will it end?"
"Stop complaining! We have to continue patrolling after a short break. We have to watch all night tonight."
Lin Sakiyu spoke up.
"Please don't let anything go wrong. I still want to wait until retirement."
After Liao Kai finished speaking, he took another deep breath.
Lin Sakiyu waited there, looking around and at the sky with boredom.
Suddenly, her expression froze.
"Am I seeing right? How come there are two moons in the sky?"
"Two moons? Are you kidding me?"
Liao Kai looked up casually, and suddenly he realized something, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Oh my god!"
…
Shengyin Welfare Home at night.
Shen Qiu, Huang Dan and Cao Kun walked along the circular corridor towards the accommodation area on the west side.
Soon they arrived at the first floor of the West District and walked straight to the door of Room 104.
Shen Qiu pushed open the door, and the three of them walked into an old small room.
In the corner of the room, there is a large bed separated by red bricks, covered with wooden boards and a layer of bedding.
There is also an old desk next to it.
When Huang Dan saw the bed, his eyes suddenly lit up. He walked over, took off his shoes and lay down on it.
"Oh, this bed is still comfortable to sleep in, that's how it feels."
After reading it, Cao Kun said with a smile.
"There's no bed at home?"
"How can there be no bed? I bought the most high-end silk cotton bed. But no matter how I sleep on it, it's not comfortable. It's not as comfortable as this bed. Maybe I'm just unlucky!"
Huang Dan's face was full of self-mockery.
Shen Qiu heard this and shook his head.
"Don't say that. No one is born inferior."
"Haha, well said, come and lie down!"
Huang Dan patted the empty spaces on both sides and shouted to Shen Qiu and Cao Kun.
The two of them didn't act pretentiously. They climbed onto the bed and lay on both sides of Huang Dan.
To be honest, they also cherish this hard-won opportunity.
After tonight, we will go our separate ways, and even if we keep in touch, we will be together less often.
The three of them looked at the moldy ceiling, as if they had returned to more than a decade ago, when they were also lying on the same bed, covered with the same quilt.
"Honestly, life is better now, but sometimes I always miss my childhood. Although I didn't have enough to eat, at least I didn't have to worry about anything."
Huang Dan said with great emotion.
"You're not full? Shen Qiu and I have shared a lot of food with you."
Cao Kun joked with a smile.
"Isn't this a big appetite?"
Huang Dan said with a dry laugh.
Shen Qiu was also somewhat touched and said: "Although it was hard at that time, I was also very happy and didn't think too much."
"Now that I'm grown up, I have more worries. Let me tell you, almost 90% of my brothers and sisters are living outside the city, and I heard that several of them have passed away, including the little bucktoothed one."
Cao Kun replied thoughtfully.
"How did he die?"
Huang Dan was also stunned.
"How else could he die? He must have died of illness. I heard that when the body was found, it was already smelly. If the landlord hadn't pressed for rent, no one would have known about it for a few months. Later, Dean An Yuan personally went there to take care of the funeral."
Cao Kun said somewhat sadly.
"Maybe it will be our turn later."
Huang Su said with a sigh.
"You are in good condition now, why don't you find a partner and start a family?"
Shen Qiu turned his head to look at Huang Dan and asked puzzledly.
"It's not that easy! The one who likes you, you don't like him. The one you like, the one who doesn't like you."
Huang Dan replied with a wry smile.
"Take your time. What you need will always come."
Cao Kun comforted Huang Dan.
"Okay, stop comforting me. You were the one who had the best chance of being single among the three of us, but you ended up being worse than me. You lost a girl as good as Qiu Li."
Huang Suan complained with great regret.
"This is a long story, it's all in the past, let it go."
Cao Kun's expression was full of loneliness. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was not so easy to get over it. It was just that his reason was suppressing him.
"Yeah, the past is the past. Shen Qiu, what about you?"
Huang Su said, changing the subject.
"Me? What's wrong?"
"What's your situation now? Are you still single? I think Xiaolian seems to be interested in you."
"Forget it, I don't have any feelings for her."
"No feeling. Wait, you are not still a novice, are you?"
Huang Dan also became excited when he said this.
"It's not that bad, it's just..."
When Shen Qiu got to this point, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, feeling a little embarrassed.
"You have a date? Sure! Who is it, boy?"
Cao Kun also started gossiping.
"No."
Shen Qiu denied it awkwardly.
"Who is it? Tell me quickly."
Huang Dan also seemed to be determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
Bang~
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the corridor, and I didn't know what was being knocked over.
"Who's out there this late?"
Huang Dan also looked puzzled.
"I don't know. Maybe some kid ran away."
Shen Qiu immediately sat up.
At this moment, there was a sharp sound of a door opening and a shout in the corridor outside.
"Who is it? Who's outside?"
As a result, the words had just fallen.
Ah~
A shrill scream suddenly rang out, instantly breaking the silence of the welfare home.
At this moment, Shen Qiu's expression suddenly changed.
"Oh no, something happened! I'll go out and take a look."
Huang Dan and Cao Kun were also startled and immediately stood up and said.
"We'll go out with you."
The three of them hurriedly got out of bed, put on their shoes and rushed out of the room. As a result, they saw a thin figure biting the neck of a middle-aged aunt in white pajamas in the corridor.
