When they arrived at the restaurant, it turned out that there were not many people there. The two of them chose a comfortable seat to sit down. Elegant light music flowed slowly in the air, which was very comfortable.
The food was also very rich, but when she tasted it, she felt it had no taste. She couldn't explain why. Recently, she always felt that something was missing in her life, just like dishes without seasonings, everything was bland and tasteless.
Shu Rao, who was opposite, ate with gusto, "Xingchen, why don't you eat?"
"Uh... maybe I haven't woken up yet." She quickly cheered up, and the two of them chatted while eating.
"Xingchen, have you found a house? Where will you live in the future?" Shu Rao asked with concern.
"I looked at a few, and the one I was most satisfied with was the one located near the military hospital. The living facilities there are convenient and it's close to my work. But the house has three bedrooms. It's too big for me to live alone. If I can't find a shared apartment,
For people, it’s too expensive.”
"You want to find someone to share a room with?" Shu Rao disagreed, "No! Absolutely not! The society is so chaotic now. Who knows who your roommate is? What if he is a bad person?"
Shu Rao's exaggerated tone made Ye Xingchen feel very warm. She said coquettishly, "How can there be so many bad people? Besides, I'm not a three-year-old child, I can tell them apart!"
"Just you? You helped me count the money after they sold you!" Shu Rao said with contempt, "I don't agree with it anyway! That's good, you can find a one-bedroom apartment, it doesn't matter if it's far away, you can buy it
Wouldn’t a car be enough?”
Ye Xingchen has also considered Shu Rao's suggestion. Students at the Military Medical University are subsidized every year. She has also saved some money in the past few years. Buying a small mobility scooter is not a problem, but the problem is that she can't drive it.
She didn't dare to drive because as soon as she touched the steering wheel, she could not help but think of her deceased parents. There was no surveillance on the road when they had a car accident. No one knew how the car accident happened. She couldn't help but think about what they were doing at that time.
Why did the tragedy happen? Whenever I think about it, my heart hurts, and when I think about it, I feel confused. I can't concentrate on learning to drive.
Seeing Ye Xingchen's sudden silence, Shu Rao knew that she had said the wrong thing. She regretted it so much that she wanted to bite off her tongue, and quickly said, "Xingchen, how about I return the current house and let us rent together?"
"How's that? You live well, why do you want to change places?"
"What's good? My landlord is always busy with things. I've wanted to change it for a long time. It's just that I'm too busy at work and I don't have much time at home, so I've been enduring it. But the situation is different now. We
How nice it would be to live together, and you can still cook for me after I return home from the flight!"
"But that house has three bedrooms, and there are only two of us..."
"Isn't this good? Leave a room for Shu Jing!"
Shu Jing is Shu Rao's younger brother. He is seven years younger than her. He has just finished the college entrance examination and will come to Yunchuan to go to college in September. Although he lives on campus, it would be nice to spend time with his sister on weekends.
"Okay, it's settled, we'll have one room per person, three-three system!" Shu Rao said in agreement.
"No, I'll pay half of the rent!" Ye Xingchen insisted.
Shu Rao didn't hesitate, "Okay, it's up to you."
After eating, Ye Xingchen called the landlord. The two went directly to meet with the landlord, paid the deposit, and the house was settled.
◎◎◎
A week later, Ye Xingchen moved out of the school dormitory. On the day of the move, Shu Rao called Shu Jing from his hometown to work as a coolie. The eighteen-year-old boy was very unambiguous about his work, carrying large and small bags. Shu Rao
Although he didn't care, Ye Xingchen felt a little distressed.
"Shu Jing, take a rest!" She quickly poured a glass of water.
"Thank you, Sister Xingchen!" Shu Jing smiled brightly, with youthful vigor.
The three of them rested for a while, and then each tidied up their rooms. Shu Rao had a lot of things and was very messy, so he lived in the largest room, Shu Jing had the least things, so he lived in the smallest room, and Ye Xingchen lived in the remaining room.
The new room had light blue curtains and a pure white bed set, which was plain and elegant. She put her things away, including the big bear. It was very inconvenient during the move, but she still brought it with her. Somehow
, she just couldn't bear to have it.
Remove the packaging bag and gently put the big bear on the big bed. The world is small. You don’t know who you will meet when you turn around. The world is also very big. When you turn around, everyone will disappear. But this big guy appears every day.
They all exist strongly. When you gently stroke the flattened fur on the big bear's body, your fingertips will feel soft.
Time hurriedly covers the past, creating a touch of unknown melancholy.
"Shu Jing, come here and help me!" Shu Rao called someone again.
"Wait a minute..." Shu Jing seemed to be tinkering with something in the room and didn't come out for a long time.
"Hey, kid, what are you dawdling about? Come over here quickly!"
"Right away, right away!"
Shu Rao immediately rushed to Shu Jing's room and saw him sitting there tinkering with the computer, "Shu Jing, what are you doing?"
"Send in your resume, I plan to find a part-time job during the summer vacation."
Shu Rao felt comforted in her heart, but she curled her lips and said, "Don't do anything against the law or discipline for me!"
"yes, madam!"
Shu Rao rubbed Shu Jing's head and said, "You can get a router for me later so that Xingchen and I can access the Internet in our room."
"Sister, the telecommunications bureau does not allow private routing, you are violating the law and discipline!"
"Shu Jing, you don't want your ears anymore, do you?"
"Sister Xingchen, help me..."
"Xingchen, get out of the way, I have to deal with him today!"
After a rough fight, Shu Jing got his ears tugged in the end, and then went to find the route obediently, but Ye Xingchen was a little worried, "Shu Jing, you won't be found out if you do this, right?"
"It's okay, Sister Xingchen, don't worry when I do the work!" Shu Jing said confidently, he is a computer expert!
Shu Rao also patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this is not a big deal. If someone discovers it, just pay an extra network fee!"
Ye Xingchen thought about it and felt relieved.
The afterglow of the setting sun filled the new house, and the walls were stained with a bright orange color, which was incredibly beautiful.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and time passed quickly. The flowers were blooming in midsummer, and the scene was very beautiful.
something unexpected may happen any time.
One day in early July, Ye Xingchen was out in the hospital when he suddenly received a call from Shu Rao. The always optimistic Shu Rao cried on the phone, "Xingchen, Shu Jing... he was taken away by the police...
"
"What?" Ye Xingchen was shocked, "Did the routing cause trouble?"
"It would be better if that were the case..." Shu Rao couldn't help crying and said while crying. After Ye Xingchen heard the whole story, his face changed drastically and he felt even more panicked.
It turned out that the part-time job Shu Jing was looking for was the cause of the problem. He applied for a job as a materials analyst in a certain company. It’s such a small world, but that company was actually Jinshi, and the project Shu Jing participated in was related to diamond mining. Originally, this
It's just a normal job, but who would have thought that Shu Jing would go exploring with the project team and instead of digging out diamonds, he would dig out an ore containing uranium. Many people know what uranium stands for. In short, then
It is the raw material that can make nuclear weapons!
The police quickly got the news and immediately sent people to seal off the mining site. The cooperation project between Jin and Lingfeng Group was also stopped. Shu Jing was the first to be taken away. He was obviously used as a scapegoat by Jin.
"Xingchen, I'm still in Europe now, and the plane will take off in a few hours. Can you help me go see Shu Jing first? I'm so worried about him..." Shu Rao burst into tears on the other side of the world.
"Raoruo, don't worry, I'll be there right away!" Ye Xingchen hurriedly hung up the phone, asked for leave, and rushed to the police station before he could say more comforting words.
"I'm sorry, miss, Shu Jing is now suspected of obstructing national security, no one is allowed to visit!" a police officer said sternly.
Ye Xingchen's face turned pale and he quickly begged for mercy, "Comrade police, Shu Jing is just a child. He will not harm national security. He..."
"Miss, you should know what a nuclear weapon is. Our police station has no authority to handle this matter. The military will arrive soon. We are only responsible for detaining suspects now."
suspects?
Ye Xingchen frowned intuitively. It was really unacceptable to use such words to describe Shu Jing, but now was not the time to care about it. She had no choice but to follow the police officer's words and say, "Comrade police, you also said that he
He's just a suspect and has not been convicted of a crime. Should I go visit his head office first?"
"I'm sorry, miss, this is against the rules."
"Then... what are the rules? How can I see him?" Ye Xingchen asked anxiously, and at this moment, several official cars suddenly drove up in front of the police station, with license plates and bodies.
There are obvious signs, including those of the C Military Region Headquarters, those affiliated with the National Security Bureau, and a certain nuclear research institute, etc.
Ye Xingchen's head buzzed. Did Shu Jing's incident alarm these departments?
God, how serious this is!
The doors of several cars opened at the same time, and a group of people walked out, each with a stern expression. One of them, with a straight military uniform, two stripes and two stars on his shoulders, looked very heroic.
Ye Xingchen's heartbeat suddenly stopped, Lou Xi?!
