"Cao Bu, get off work."
Cao Bin nods to his colleagues entering the elevator, with no smile on his face. The winter in Beijing is lonely and cold, and the bare branches of trees point to the sky.
The setting sun was like gold, shrouded in a layer of white mist. Cao Bin put his bag on his back, and there was a park on the way home. After passing through the park, the opposite was the bus stop.
He sat down on a bench in the park, wearing a black windbreaker over his suit, took out his phone and opened WeChat.
[Three, two, one...]
[yeah! happy New Year!]
[Cao Bin!]
Chi Xiaoduo smiled and congratulated Cao Bin on the arrival of the New Year, riding on Xiang Cheng's shoulders, with brilliant fireworks behind them.
[We are counting down in the UK and showing you fireworks!]Chi Xiaoduo shouted excitedly, and turned the camera to the fireworks behind him.
Cao Bin pressed the screen with his slender fingers and fast-forwarded the video. Chi Xiaoduo and Xiang Cheng got down and stood by the side of the road. Xiang Cheng turned to Chi Xiaoduo with his mobile phone.
[New year, I wish you a high promotion.]Chi Xiaoduo said with a smile, [Life goes well! come on! ] Xiang Cheng: [Okay, who is next?]
Chi Xiaoduo said happily: [Give it to Dada?]
Video is off.
Cao Bin smiled, turned off his mobile phone, and went home by bus. When he got home, he ordered two stir-fried dishes, a plate of dumplings, and a bottle of beer at the small restaurant downstairs. After eating, he opened the door and went home, turned on the lights, The lights are warm and the walls are empty.
It is cold and windy in Beijing. Go to get off work alone, leave work alone, go home alone, and eat alone.
"It's a pity it's not you, stay with me until the end..." Cao Bin listened to Cao Xuanbin's song, lying on the sofa, found the report in the bag, twirled his pen, and signed several materials.
"I, I, I... I don't know how to do surgery!"
"Quick! He won't die!"
That hand stretched into his body with a warm body temperature. It felt extremely weird, as if a force had penetrated into his soul somewhere in the dark.
Cao Bin took off his clothes in front of the mirror. The wound that had been corroded by the devil energy had completely healed, but it still had a scar, which seemed to never disappear, and always reminded him that there was a person who used this This way saved his life.
"How are you? Let me see?"
That day he was sitting in front of the corridor, the sun was dim, and he accompanied the man from downstairs and touched his head.
"Kadao and Chen Zhen have both gone, why is it not you protecting Xiaoduo, but Xuan Hezhi?"
"I'm in charge of responding in the dark. Chen Zhen arranged it. Is there a problem?"
"Aren't you a guilty conscience?"
The water was dense, the water flowed over his fit body, and after taking a shower, Cao Bin was wearing underwear, with a towel around his neck, his hair was wet, he applied pomade in the mirror, took care of it carefully, and sat on the sofa, Holding the mobile phone in one hand, he held it upright, facing himself.
"Thank you." Cao Bin said with a smile, "I have received my blessings, and I also wish you and Xiang Cheng..."
Cao Bin thought about it, and decided to put on the shirt.
"Thank you, is Britain fun?" Cao Bin said to the phone, "Beware of vampires, but vampires will probably..."
Cao Bin forced a smile, but felt a little stiff, so he deleted and re-recorded.
"cough!"
Facing the camera, Cao Bin carefully examined himself, finally sighed, put his phone aside, leaned on the sofa and stared blankly for a while. After a while, I picked up my phone, glanced at a gay dating app on it, and flipped through the photos.
The call came and was reachable.
"Cao Jiba!" Da Ke said.
Cao Bin immediately sat up straight and asked, "Director, what's wrong?"
Koda asked: "Are you at home? Why don't you wish me a happy new year?"
Cao Bin replied, "I'm about to send you my best wishes."
Only then did Da Da say: "That's good, send it over quickly."
Cao Bin: "..."
Cao Bin racked his brains and made up a WeChat, which was perfect at the first place, plus a bunch of sparkling emojis, and sent it to Koda.
Koda sent a selfie of himself with Feng Li in his arms. Cao Bin received a critical hit of 100,000 points on the spot. He was heartbroken, threw his phone aside, and lay on the sofa to recover his blood.
Da Da: [I introduced you to someone, let's meet tomorrow.]It's really frustrating to have a boss who doesn't understand me, and I can't refuse unreasonable demands.
The cold wind is howling, the day off is adjusted, Cao Bin shaved his beard, let's see him, anyway, a new life is about to start.
In line with the organization's cordial care for subordinate comrades... In fact, it just became a relationship, hoping that everyone will find the love of their life, so they began to enthusiastically discuss lifelong events for Cao Bin. First, he tricked him into downloading a bunch of gay dating apps, then asked Cao Bin to put his muscle photos on it to seduce Xiaoling, and helped him edit a bunch of emotional monologues.
Of course, Cao Bin didn't move at all, just like a tree standing there, neither sad nor happy. So he asked Fengli to introduce a friend to Cao Bin. Human, handsome, gentle, kind and down-to-earth, young, very clean.
When Cao Bin saw this boy, he felt that he was really nice. Maybe he needed to change his attitude towards life and start a relationship. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he laughed.
Cao Bin has seen that expression before. From Chi Xiaoduo's eyes, Chi Xiaoduo would laugh every time Xiang Cheng appeared.
With such a daze, Cao Bin missed the other party's name. When the other party asked Cao Bin what he did, he seemed surprised that the tall and handsome man Feng Li introduced was so temperamental and handsome.
"An insurance seller." Cao Bin laughed.
The other party also laughed, and the two chatted for a while, the atmosphere was very comfortable, but Cao Bin did not fall in love. He liked to sit and chat with such a young man, but he didn't love such a young man. It seems that the foul air in the world can be washed clean from this simple atmosphere.
After making an appointment to have dinner together next time when he was free, Cao Bin pushed open the door and came out to see the boy on the subway and the bus stop, still a little distracted.
Behind the station, a man holding a black umbrella, about the same height as Cao Bin, nodded to him in the snow.
"Hello." Cao Bin was startled, and instinctively realized that the person in front of him was not a mortal.
"Chen Hao."
"Cao Bin."
Cao Bin shook hands with Chen Hao, and Chen Hao said: "I'm sorry to choose to report at this time, have a drink?"
Cao Bin replied, "Of course."
Chen Hao handed Di Shumin's letter of introduction to Cao Bin. Cao Bin had read his materials before, and asked, "Where is Mr. Dai En and that dragon?"
"Loken." Chen Hao replied, "They bid farewell to China Dragon and the Special Operations Group, and temporarily settled in Hong Kong."
"Maybe there isn't much blood supply here."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Hao said, "Vampires don't necessarily need blood, they can survive by eating other things."
Cao Bin nodded and asked, "Is there a place to stay?"
Chen Hao shook his head. The two were drinking Hennessy in the bar. Cao Bin thought about it and said, "Come and stay at my house for a while."
Chen Hao nodded his thanks, sighed, and asked, "The one in the western restaurant just now was your boyfriend?"
Cao Bin smiled, shook his head, and said, "I found that I don't quite adapt to this society. I'm powerless, I don't know how to socialize, and I can't find a suitable boyfriend."
Chen Hao pointed to Cao Bin's chest, took a sip of wine, and said, "Love will always come, believe in yourself, I've lived for four hundred years, and I haven't said that yet."
Cao Bin thought for a while and said, "Is it convenient for you to record a video for me?"
Chen Hao took Cao Bin's cell phone.
"Hi." Cao Bin said in the video, "Have you had fun in England?"
The lights in the bar were dim, and the music was playing. Cao Bin held the glass in one hand, shook it, the ice cubes collided and jingled, and said: "When you go to Rome, help me make a wish in the wishing well, um... wish me Let's meet someone you like, Xiang Cheng, Xiao Duo, have fun, and happy new year."
Chen Hao turned off the video, patted Cao Bin on the shoulder, the two paid the bill, and walked into the snowy street.
"I'll teach you." Chen Hao said in the snowstorm, "In the ancient gypsy magic, it is said that fate is created by oneself..."
"I also reflect sometimes." Cao Bin said, "But I think fate will always come..."
The sky is full of wind and snow, colorful lights are flickering, and houses in the distance are lit up with warm lights, and the new year is here again.
