When the first cannon was fired, the fireworks were bright in the night sky, poetic and picturesque.
Everyone who gathered around the table for the New Year's Eve dinner stood up one after another, picked up the fireworks that had been prepared and walked to the small garden.
The eldest lady of the Han family was the most excited. She urged Han Xiaobao to get a lighter and quickly lit the fireworks tube.
Bang,
The colorful cannons rushed to the sky and exploded in the night sky that was dyed with fireworks. The colorful cannons instantly dyed the eyes.
The girl happily set off fireworks, one after another, almost without stopping. Lin Ze didn't have time to calculate how many fireworks the eldest daughter of the Han family would set off that night. Her rich father was sitting on a stone bench. Above, staring at my precious daughter with a kind face,
Even if the girl gets interested, Han Zhenbei, who is extremely wealthy, will not even frown if she lets it go for three days and three nights.
Lin Ze leaned against the hall door and looked at the excited Han Xiaoyi with a smile. An eighteen-year-old girl in her prime should be like this, without too many worries or worries, simple and happy.
No matter whether this innocence and happiness is as fleeting as fireworks, at least you have had it before, right?
"Go and have some fun."
Lin Ze lit a cigarette, turned to the silver girl standing on one side holding Haagen-Dazs, and said,
"I don't like it." Silver Girl shook her head,
Lin Ze smiled helplessly, flicked the ashes skillfully and said, "What do you like."
"Listen to you singing." Silver Girl put a mouthful of ice cream into her mouth, "Insects are flying."
"I will sing to you tonight." Lin Ze smiled and said,
"good."
Silver Girl glanced at him, turned around and went back to her room,
The colorful fireworks in the sky failed to attract even half of her eyes.
Lin Ze silently stared at her thin and cold back and murmured to himself: "When will you fall in love with the beautiful things in this world? No matter what the result is, shouldn't you give it a try?"
Dudu,,
Lin Ze, who was deep in thought, was awakened by the violent vibration of his phone. He took out his phone and saw that it was a text message.
Sent by Xia Shuzhu,
A woman who has reunited with her family sent a happy New Year text message. It is not the kind of group text message. The content is not unique and interesting, but it is more sincere and sincere.
After Lin Ze replied to the woman with a smile, his phone rang again,
It was sent by the talented girl Dong Xiaowan,
Maybe it was approaching twelve o'clock, and there were more and more text messages. In addition to these few women who were close to each other, many classmates also sent blessing messages. Lin Ze responded one by one, but there was a ripple in his heart.
A few years ago in the UK, he could only look away and sigh every Spring Festival. The fun of New Year's Eve was just hiding in an empty room with Xiao Hei to cook a hot pot, drinking high-concentration white wine and serving food.
It was lonely and empty,
During the holidays, Lin Ze misses his family more than ever, but he misses his hometown and his motherland. Even though he was sent to a secret base by the old director when he was five years old, every festival, the base will hold some lively activities and programs. It does not make people feel lonely and lonely,
At this moment, my brother who is far away from home, are you okay?
Lin Ze was making a painful call to an overseas phone number when a number came through on his cell phone.
"Hello." After Lin Ze answered the phone, he said calmly,
"Hello," came the woman's magnetic voice, with a hint of nasality, as if she had some signs of a cold.
"Happy Spring Festival." Lin Ze said softly,
"Happy New Year." Fang Susu suddenly coughed lightly,
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Ze frowned slightly and asked in concern, "You have a cold."
"I have a cold." He didn't know whether it was because the radio waves had changed her original voice or because she had a cold. Lin Ze felt that this cold woman's voice was particularly magnetic and pleasant, making people feel tingling inside.
"Work is important, but your health is even more important. The cold wave has hit the north recently, so you need to pay more attention." Lin Ze said in a soft tone, "Go to bed early after taking medicine. Don't always stay up late working."
"Yeah." Fang Susu snorted lightly, then changed the topic again, "Have you met Han Zhenbei?"
"I saw it." Lin Ze was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"He made some moves in Yanjing before coming to Huaxin City, which aroused turmoil in several families." Fang Susu paused and said, "But they didn't seem to plan to make any moves. Maybe they were afraid of Han Zhenbei's identity and Power, but you should be careful, these family disputes cannot be underestimated, and they might come to your door one day."
"Okay, I will pay attention." Lin Ze nodded with a smile and said with concern: "You too, please pay attention to your health, don't risk your life if you work. The old director mentioned you when he came to see me some time ago."
"Director Fang."
"Yeah." Lin Ze smiled and said, "He said that you work too hard and are not gregarious. This is not good. Our national security department is a department that pays attention to organization and discipline. We cannot play individualistic heroes. Besides, you are so kind to your male colleagues. Damn it, how are you going to find a boyfriend in the future? Do you really plan to be a spy for the rest of your life?"
"It has nothing to do with you, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Susu couldn't help but cough slightly. She hurriedly picked up the hot water on her desk and took two cough medicines. The severe cough just got better.
Although her cough got better, her mood became more and more depressed, and the sound of her cough was extremely harsh in the empty and cold office.
Tonight is New Year's Eve. All colleagues who are not busy with important tasks have gone home to celebrate the New Year. Fang Susu has not left. It's not that she doesn't want to leave, but she doesn't know where to go.
go home,
As the head of the National Security Bureau, my father is very busy with official duties. He is rarely at home during the Spring Festival. Now the current situation is even more turbulent. Let alone New Year's Eve, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to Yanjing before the 15th of the year.
I am alone at home, what is the difference from this cold office?
Director Fang called Fang Susu in the afternoon and asked her to treat him well in the evening, but she was busy at the time and didn't pay much attention to it. By the time she finished the work at hand, it was already ten o'clock at night. She was already exhausted physically and mentally and had a cold. I didn’t even have the energy to go home, so I just settled for dinner in the office.
There was no special food in her storage box, just some compressed biscuits to fill her stomach, and a few bottles of refreshing drinks to stimulate her nerves. They were all foods that Fang Susu was too busy to eat to fill her stomach on weekdays. Tonight, she was a little weak, and it was raining outside. It was snowing heavily and she was too lazy to go out, so she poured a glass of warm water and put some compressed biscuits as hard as iron into her stomach.
After giving two biscuits with a cup of warm water, Fang Susu, who had a terrible appetite, could no longer eat any more.
Today is New Year's Eve, the most important holiday of the year for Chinese citizens, but she doesn't want to go anywhere and has no place to go. She can only stay in this cold office and keep vigil.
She didn't know what it was like,
She recalled the words Lin Ze asked at the beginning, do you plan to be a spy for the rest of your life? Do you want to be an old maid until no man wants you?
Her answer at that time was very firm,
"Director Fang gave me my life. As long as he needs it, I can keep going."
However, the human heart grows from flesh after all. She was a little confused and timid.
Can I really persevere? Can I?
Then why are you afraid, lonely, and uncomfortable?
Why, even the corners of my eyes are wet,
Am I so fragile? Aren't I the cold intelligence officer that everyone in the National Security Bureau is afraid of? Aren't I a strong woman who is called the Stone Girl by those prank colleagues?
But why do I feel so uncomfortable and unable to control myself?
The radio that was originally turned away to relax by eating cookies suddenly switched from current affairs news to the city song section.
"You have never heard me talk about it. I feel that even I am afraid of loneliness. Whenever the night falls quietly, a person will indeed be very sad. The mobile phone is on and does not ring. I am often alone in silence until dawn. Who knows that there are people in the trouble? in loneliness,
I'm afraid of loneliness, and I'm also afraid of you leaving me. If you love me, please tell me that you won't let me be lonely, that you won't leave me, that you won't regret it. Only you can dispel my loneliness..."
As if being poked into tears, Fang Susu's beautiful big eyes were filled with tears, which slipped down quietly.
Silent choking,
Unspeakable sadness,
Fang Susu lay on the cold desk, letting tears slide down her cheeks and drip on the white work materials.
After a long time, I don't know if the tears have dried up, or the woman has vented the depression and sadness in her heart. She got up again, wiped the tears on her cheeks with her slender white hands, poured a glass of warm water into the water glass, and continued He gave her a few hard compressed biscuits and chewed them until her cheeks were sore and weak.
After filling her stomach, the woman regained her cold expression, opened the information, restarted the computer, put on radiation-proof glasses, and tapped the keyboard with those jade hands that were the envy of countless women, performing the work originally scheduled for the first day of the new year.
It was a lively and happy night, at least for most people,
This is also a lonely and cold night, at least for Fang Susu,
She didn't know if she would still spend New Year's Eve like this next year, and she didn't know if she would have the opportunity to eat snacks in the coffee shop like last time, eating her favorite snacks, and eating the snacks that the man invited her to eat.
But at least tonight, she misses that quiet afternoon, misses his plain but very comfortable face, misses his slightly ridiculing but sincere questions,
"Is it delicious? Does it taste good?"
It was a bit teasing and a bit vulgar, but she didn't reject it. Instead, she felt extremely at ease and stable.
"When I wanted to talk about my feelings over the years, you ordered a table full of my favorite food and introduced me to a book on astronomy." Fang Susu, who was typing on the keyboard, suddenly hummed these few lines that she had listened to in the coffee shop. The song has a very soothing melody and simple lyrics, but it touches the heart and makes people feel excited.
dong dong,,
The clock on the wall rang unexpectedly,
It's twelve o'clock at night,
Fang Susu was awakened by the cold sound of the wall clock. She raised her head slightly, glanced at the brightly lit night scene outside the window, and murmured softly: "It's New Year, remember to be happy."
