not scary story

Chapter 111

Perhaps the deterrent effect of the Yin soldiers was so strong that at the end of this year, there were fewer haunted incidents in the entire G city. Officer Qiao was rarely at leisure, and even asked Yan Jiu out to eat hot pot, wanting to teach him "how to How to be a good ghost policeman".

But how can Yan Jiu have so much free time, besides his graduation thesis, he has to continue to practice.After learning that he was going to join the Special Investigation Department, the members of the Special Investigation Department began to be keen to discover the potential of this new member with a unique physique.So Yan Xiaojiu's life of two points and one line became three points and one line - school, six places and home.

The cohabitation life with Qiao Yuan only lasted for a short three weeks. Since Qiao Yuan received another warning from Qiao Xia, he can only curb his desires before they are fledgling.The opponent is Qiao Jinshan, who is just like the last boss in the game. If he has not leveled up well, he will never dare to challenge easily.

Since the meeting time was greatly reduced after the separation, Young Master Qiao took up most of Yan Jiu's free time. Qiao Xia made five appointments before finally catching him out for supper.

The night snack place is the barbecue stall chosen by Shen Yutao. He handles cases upside down day and night all year round. He knows best where to find the best delicious food at night.

The stall owner is a woman from Sichuan. She quickly sprinkles cumin, salt and oil on all kinds of vegetables and meat, and wields chili peppers in an artistic way. The aroma is so overflowing that even ghosts and gods can drool.

Although it was Qiao Xiayue's supper, Yan Jiu was not surprised to see Shen Yutao.He used to think that these two were peerless partners, but after hearing Qiao Xia molesting his subordinates countless times, he could no longer look at Officer Shen who was said to have yet to be captured with integrity.

Shen Yutao seemed to be silent a lot today.When the two were chatting, Yan Jiu looked at him curiously several times, but he didn't respond, and just silently rolled the bamboo sticks all over the floor.

Qiao Xia quickly noticed his gaze, and explained for Shen Yutao: "His father dislikes being a policeman, and recently he always talked about him changing to a safe and stable job."

Yan Jiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Yutao, and heard him smile helplessly and said: "It's so tiring to quarrel when I go home."

"...Mmm." Yan Jiu pursed her lips, trying to squeeze out a smile, trying to say a few words of comfort, her mouth moved, but she didn't say it after all.

Qiao Xia is a genius after all, just by looking at his expression, you can tell that there are other emotions mixed in the smile, after passing a look to Shen Yutao, he toasted to change the subject.

After supper, Shen Yutao drove the man home, Qiao Xia sat in the passenger seat, watching Yan Jiu's figure disappear into the dark corridor, the lights were turned on layer by layer, and finally, it was the lights of Yan's house It finally lights up.

"His mother hasn't come back for a year." Qiao Xia propped his chin with one hand, looking at the balcony of Yan's house from the car.Most of the residents in this area are old local residents, so the balconies of each house are full of various flowers and plants, and the balconies are also hung with clothes that look like thousands of national flags. Except for those obviously unoccupied, only the balcony of Yan’s house is deserted, and only hangs to dry. A couple of boys' clothes.

"His father died when he was just born." Shen Yutao said in a deep voice, "Be careful with what you say, this child has been living with his grandparents since he was a child, and he has been alone for a few years without his mother's pain. Parents are sensitive."

"Tsk, that's it. His mother often runs outside, so what merits does she have? The one who owes her the most is her own child." Qiao Xia frowned, disapproving.

"Anyone who has a little bit of ideal pursuit will have someone who owes him a debt. His mother is not like that kind of selfish person, and she may have her own difficulties. Besides, the child has not been around for more than ten years. When he grows up, he will not be there. Do you know how to be a dedicated mother?"

"Who knows?" Qiao Xia looked at the old house that was getting farther and farther away, thinking that she also blamed Qiao Yuan because of her personal preference, and finally stopped talking.

Life cannot be perfect, but whenever there is a goal that must be achieved, there will always be someone to disappoint.

It was very late at night, Yan's house turned on all the lights in the house before turning them off one by one, and finally there was only a little light in the bedroom, which stayed on all night.

Yan Ling only returned home half a month before the Chinese New Year.

A week before Yan Jiu heard the news, she had already started to go home and clean up frequently, and when everything was clean, she finally looked forward to Yan Ling who came in with big bags and small bags.

"This is a wood carving bought from Kenya, and this is a rough gemstone from Tanzania... Hey, I don't know, what do you like?" Yan Ling sat down, without changing her clothes or washing her face, and opened her own She took out all the presents she received when she was working as Doctors Without Borders this year in her luggage, and when they were all over the floor, she found her son squatting in front of her, staring at her without saying a word.

She was a little nervous: "Don't you like it?"

"No," Yan Jiu shook his head and squeezed out a smile: "Mom, you are thin and dark, so it's hard work over there, right?"

When it came to her job, Yan Ling finally found the chatterbox switch, and began to chat with her son about various experiences of being Doctors Without Borders. Yan Jiu squatted down and helped her pack her luggage while chatting with her. Such intense emotions after not seeing each other for a year.

This is how the Yan family's mother and son get along.

A well-behaved son and a cheerful mother, but because they don't live together all year round, the close relationship between the two always has an indescribable sense of distance.

Yan Ling also felt guilty in her heart. She was very self-aware that she was not a competent mother, but her son never complained. She wanted to get closer, but she also suffered from not knowing how to express it.

When Yan Ling went to wash up, Yan Jiu started cooking, and received a call from Qiao Yuan just as she started cooking.

Young Master Qiao, who hadn't seen each other for almost a week, asked to go to Yan's house for dinner when he heard that the other party could not come out for a date today.It stands to reason that Qiao Yuan also lived in Yan's house for a while before, and he was quite familiar with Yan Ling, but at that time the two of them had no close relationship. guest" embarrassment.

Hearing the tension in his tone, Young Master Qiao came to Yan's house with an attitude of "it's all up to me".

But when Yan Ling talked to him at the dinner table about Yan Jiu and his life this year, the eldest young master finally showed his flaws. He couldn't pick up the beef balls several times, and finally Yan Ling delivered them to him. in a bowl.

Qiao Yuan, who was blushing, stared at Yan Jiu, who pursed his lips and suppressed the smile, and bumped his leg under the dining table viciously against his thigh.

The bowl in Yan Jiu's hand almost fell onto the table.

Yan Ling didn't notice the undercurrent between the two. She was just happy that her son had a friend who could eliminate his loneliness, and he was also a proactive boy. This kind of character was just complementary to the timid Yan Jiu.

While Yan Jiu was washing the dishes, Yan Ling took out a delicately wrapped gift from the things she brought back, and solemnly handed it to Qiao Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, thank you, my Xiao Jiu has become a gift this year. More masculine, and I know you must be to blame."

Qiao Yuan wanted to habitually reject it, but seeing Yan Ling's expression, he finally accepted it.

"...He is very afraid of loneliness," Yan Ling smiled wryly, and looked at the back in the kitchen, "At first, I was busy to make money, but after he came back from the countryside to study, I became even busier. G City and How is the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River the same? He has never heard of making friends in junior high school or high school, and the children in the neighborhood have never grown up with him. Every time I come back, I can see him watching TV alone in the room Read the book. It is also my problem that he has become such a character."

Qiao Yuan looked at her, and finally asked what he kept in his heart: "Did he mention to you that he is different from others?"

"Different?" Yan Ling was stunned for a moment, looking at him with some warning, but when she noticed that Qiao Yuan's expression was not probing but questioning, she finally said, "You mean, he can see something? "

It seems that Yan Ling knows.Qiao Yuan also stopped talking, and just looked at the mother directly, wondering her attitude towards this matter.

The monster, the son of the unknown.This was the word Qiao Yuan's mother cursed loudly. He really wanted to hear how such a mother would treat her son with yin and yang eyes.

"You also know..." Yan Ling relaxed a lot when she said that, "He even told you about this, it seems that you two are really good friends."

Qiao Yuan's ears turned red and he nodded.

"His grandmother is said to be a collateral branch of the Tianshi family, but I have not inherited any talent at all, so I have never paid attention to this aspect. He lived with his grandmother when he was a child, and I had no chance to know. I didn't know until before my grandmother passed away. He has this ability. Later, when he lived with me, he was too afraid to sleep alone. But my grandmother said that this ability will eventually disappear with age, and I don’t want him to be cowardly like a girl After all, I can't always accompany him at work..." Yan Ling sighed, "When he was 14 years old, he never mentioned this matter to me again. He may have lost his yin and yang eyes."

"Actually not." Qiao Yuan finally understood where Yan Jiu's cowardly fear of being abandoned came from.From being protected to suddenly having no one to rely on, how do you make a child who is only twelve or thirteen years old strong?

He doesn't have the ability to protect himself, so he can only ignore it, pretend to be a normal person, and walk with demons and monsters in another world.

Because everyone will only laugh at the completely different world in his eyes, even asking for help has become a luxury.

When I was walking outside, I was alone, and when I got home, I faced a silent and dark room.He is like a child abandoned by two worlds at the same time.

Yan Ling was very surprised by Qiao Yuan's words. "No?"

"...You spend too little time with him, and he doesn't want you to worry, so even if he can see it, he doesn't want to say it again." Qiao Yuan rubbed the orange in his hand unconsciously.Perhaps, he was the first to respond to Yan Jiu's request for help.

Everyone has their own way of surviving, Qiao Yuan chose tit for tat, while Yan Jiu chose to endure silently.

None of them are wrong.Because not everyone can change their destiny with bravery, how can a bare-handed person compare to a knight who has money to buy a knife?

A true warrior is one who never lets go of a chance to change his fate.

When Yan Jiu came out after washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, Qiao Yuan was already going home.

"Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, I have to fly to the imperial capital for a week's business trip." Qiao Yuan said, "Go out with me."

Yan Jiu froze for a moment, looked at the mother who had just come back, she seemed to be thinking about something, it took a long time to react, and nodded to him.

"What did you tell her?" Yan Jiu asked immediately after walking out of the house.

"I told you about the Special Investigation Department." Qiao Yuan leaned over and looked down at him slightly, "How can you thank me?"

"You said it? So fast?!" Yan Jiu exclaimed incomprehensibly.

"...I also talked about your yin and yang eyes, she may have to digest it now... Hey, thank you?"

"Thank you for what?" Yan Jiu blinked, and it took a while to react. When he blushed and quickly kissed Qiao Yuan's cheek, Qiao Yuan immediately pushed him against the wall and kissed him deeply for 2 minute.

The voice-activated corridor lights have long since gone out.The two looked at each other in the dark, unable to see each other's expressions at all, only their rapid breathing expressed their emotions.

"You should be glad you met me." Young Master Qiao smiled arrogantly.

After learning about Yan Jiu's past again today, the last bit of dissatisfaction left in my heart was also erased.There is an intense self-satisfaction in pouring out more.

Not only because he realized that there is no possibility for him to escape, but also because he felt that Yan Jiu must have liked him from a very early age.

Yan Jiu didn't know his mental activities, so he only summed up this proud declaration into the "daily tsundere tasks", and also agreed with it with a smirk.

It's also thanks to him that this trick remains unchanged and adapts to all kinds of changes. If he really asks, I'm afraid Young Master Qiao will have to worry about it for a long time.
