Extra 1 life
It was not until Wu Tong's calm face was covered with a white cloth and he was pushed out of the ward, leaving them forever, that everyone present had a clear understanding of Wu Tong's death.
Xiao Yuncheng watched quietly as the doctors pushed the bed out. He stopped crying and showed no expression.
Terribly calm.
No one could understand Xiao Yuncheng's mood, not even his outward emotions. Everyone wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how to start.
It's not appropriate no matter how you say it.
Lin Chen walked forward, gently placed his hand on Xiao Yuncheng's shoulder, and said nothing.
Xiao Yuncheng glanced at him sideways, then raised his hand to stroke the hand on his shoulder.
Xiao Yuncheng left the ward.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
We had to disperse.
Shi Qian walked beside Lin Chen, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, until Lin Chen raised his hand and held him, helping him avoid the cars passing by.
Shi Qian finally came to his senses and looked up at Lin Chen, his eyes full of confusion and doubt.
Lin Chen knew what he wanted to ask. He stood beside Shi Qian and looked into his eyes: "Xiao Yuncheng is fine, so we don't need to worry too much."
"All right."
Click.
The door was opened, and his lover appeared at the kitchen door, sticking his head out obediently and calling him to eat.
Xiao Yuncheng turned his head and looked at the sofa in the living room.
His lover was lying on the sofa, holding Tongyin in his arms, eating potato chips, and smilingly promised him that he would only eat the last bag.
Walking into the bathroom, his lover poked his wet head out of the bathtub. He gathered his wet hair behind his head, tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yuncheng at the door with a bright smile.
In the bedroom, the lover curled up in the quilt, and a furry head poked out from under the quilt, urging Xiao Yuncheng to go to bed quickly.
Xiao Yuncheng closed his eyes tiredly, and when he opened them again, Wu Tong in the bedroom was gone, Wu Tong in the bathroom was gone, Wu Tong on the sofa was gone, and Wu Tong in the kitchen was gone.
He still left.
Never coming back.
Xiao Yuncheng laughed helplessly.
Well, he still couldn't forget this incident anytime soon.
Tong Yin walked gently to his feet and rubbed Xiao Yuncheng's ankle with her head.
Xiao Yuncheng squatted down and picked up Tong Yin.
Tongyin called out softly, and for a moment Xiao Yuncheng really thought that Wu Tong was asking it to talk to him.
Xiao Yuncheng rubbed Tong Yin's head with his face and whispered, "Tong Yin, Tong Tong can't come back."
Tong Yin tilted her head towards him, stretched out her pink paw pad, and lightly pressed it against Xiao Yuncheng's cheek.
Xiao Yuncheng laughed.
Wu Tong said that there was something for him in the bedroom. Xiao Yuncheng carried Tong Yin into the bedroom and found that there was indeed a white gift box on the bedside table.
The silk fabric doesn't look luxurious, but it is exquisite, very much like Wu Tong's style.
Xiao Yuncheng put the cat on the bed and opened the gift box.
The gift box contained a keychain. It was a maple leaf made of metal. The veins of the leaf were so clear that you could count them. It was painted with copper dye. Xiao Yuncheng put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. It smelled like the paint that Wu Tong often used.
He did this with his own hands.
Xiao Yuncheng placed the paulownia leaf on his chest.
He seemed to be able to see how Wu Tong made the keychain, he must have been very serious and careful.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuncheng smiled.
There was also a not-too-thick notebook in the gift box, with a USB drive lying on top of it.
Xiao Yuncheng took them out carefully.
The notebook is full of writing. Wu Tong's handwriting is very beautiful. It is small but the strokes are sharp and neat.
Xiao Yuncheng read it word by word. Everything he wanted to say to him since he met him was written in it. The ink gathered into a warm current, slowly flowing into Xiao Yuncheng's heart, feeling both sour and warm.
Turning to the back, there were a few wrinkled pages with obvious tear marks. Xiao Yuncheng stroked these marks with his fingers, and his heart was gripped by an invisible hand, and his heartbeat stopped.
There was also a USB flash drive. Xiao Yuncheng's hands began to tremble. He inserted the USB flash drive into the computer. The face that he once cherished appeared on the screen, but Xiao Yuncheng could no longer touch it.
Wu Tong in the computer looked at the camera. It was in Wu Tong's original home. The breeze gently blew up Wu Tong's long hair.
Wu Tong spoke, and the sound of his body directly hit Xiao Yuncheng's nerves.
"Xiao Yuncheng, when you see this video, I may have left you forever."
"Don't be sad, Xiao Yuncheng, can you promise me one thing?"
You said, I will agree to whatever you say, even at the cost of my life.
"Xiao Yuncheng, can you take our rings and go see the scenery I haven't seen yet?"
"There are still many things I haven't seen yet, so you can go in my place."
You carry my soul to all parts of the world, and I will use your eyes to see the world.
Xiao Yuncheng's tears still fell.
Silently, falling.
"And Tongyin, you have to take good care of it. Let it accompany you instead of me."
But you also know that cats' lives are not long.
You have to face it alone. As time goes by, everything changes, but you have to face it. Just pretend that I am still by your side.
The next day, the police station was unusually quiet.
Everyone's face was filled with disbelief. Xiao Yuncheng was wearing a police uniform and looked very high-spirited. When everyone saw him like this, they even began to doubt whether what happened yesterday was true.
Xiao Yuncheng found Lin Chen, Shi Qian and others and devoted himself to the work.
After the meeting, Lin Chen and Shi Qian stopped at the same time. Xiao Yuncheng was still sorting out the files with his head down, and it seemed that one page was missing.
The meeting room was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of Xiao Yuncheng flipping through papers.
After a moment, Lin Chen spoke: "Xiao Yuncheng, how are you?"
"What's going on?" Xiao Yuncheng looked up at them in confusion and said, "Just tell me what you have to say."
Shi Qian took a step forward and asked him, "Now that Wu Tong is gone, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Yuncheng paused, not looking up. "Just like that, am I supposed to continue crying and wailing in agony every day, begging Tongtong to come back to life? Impossible."
"All I can do is live well."
Instead of being decadent, it is better to live a good life with your lover's last wishes in mind.
Xiao Yuncheng was very busy today and almost didn't even have time to eat. Seeing how hard the captain worked, everyone didn't dare to say anything more.
No one mentioned Wu Tong again, and everyone knew it.
It soon became dark, and the deep blue night sky was filled with stars.
Xiao Yuncheng walked out of the police station and looked up at the sky. The stars were particularly bright.
Maybe Wu Tong really turned into a star?
Xiao Yuncheng curled the corners of his lips and walked towards his car.
Click.
The house suddenly became bright.
Xiao Yuncheng took off his coat, walked into the kitchen, and made himself a midnight snack.
I cleaned up the dishes, wiped the table, and sprayed some water into the tea flower core in the vase.
There was no other sound, and the bustle of the past was gone, but Xiao Yuncheng said nothing.
After washing up, Xiao Yuncheng lay down on the bed.
It is really easy to have random thoughts at night. When Xiao Yuncheng closed his eyes, all he could see was Wu Tong's face, but he didn't want to open his eyes. He knew that if he opened his eyes, Wu Tong's face would disappear.
He hadn't seen enough.
Others are troubled by this phenomenon, but Xiao Yuncheng enjoys it.
When you really lose something, you will only be more greedy for its original appearance. Who will care whether these phenomena are bad or whether they are a disease?
Xiao Yuncheng felt that he was sick, but so what?
He still loves Wu Tong, so what?
Wu Tong in his mind kept coaxing him to sleep, and gradually, Xiao Yuncheng really fell asleep.
The next day, Xiao Yuncheng took a day off.
He got up early and drove in the opposite direction of the police station.
Quling Street.
The residents here have temporarily moved out, and the street facilities are in the final stage. Xiao Yuncheng took a day off to supervise the work.
With the presence of Police Captain Xiao Yuncheng, the workers did not dare to slack off. The project, which was originally supposed to take a day and a half, was completed at just eight o'clock in the evening.
Wu Tong had arranged all the construction of Quling Street before his death. Xiao Yuncheng chatted with the workers for a while before leaving.
A week later, Quling Street looked brand new.
It no longer looks like the neither human nor ghost it once did, and is now filled with a literary and artistic atmosphere.
Quling Street is more lively than before, and many artists have settled here.
The atmosphere here is perfect for them.
There are different stickers on every wall of the street, each one is different and full of fun.
The temple in the center was demolished and turned into a sculpture park, surrounded by colorful flowers.
The fragrance is everywhere and the beauty is beyond words.
There is a lot more greenery here, with lush green grass and fragrant wildflowers.
Xiao Yuncheng watched from a distance for a long time, muttering to himself: "Tongtong, Quling Street is now built, and many people like it here."
The breeze blew the flowers, and the flowers nodded as if they had spirits. Xiao Yuncheng lowered his eyes and looked at them, then smiled.
Everything is changing, and everything is getting better.
Five years later, Xiao Yuncheng was promoted to director, and Murong Tonghai personally presented him with the gift.
Xiao Yuncheng hasn't changed much, but he has become much calmer. In recent years, he has led the police to crack down on several criminal dens, bringing the evildoers to justice and making countless contributions.
That day happened to be Wu Tong’s death anniversary.
In fact, for a long time, Xiao Yuncheng would go to talk to Wu Tong whenever he had some free time, and tell him everything that happened to him. He never felt bored or annoyed, and his eyes were always gentle and patient.
Shi Qian and Lin Chen came together today.
They gently placed the bouquets of flowers they bought in front of the grave. Perhaps it was because of the cloudy weather today, but their eyes looked a little dull and tired.
Only Xiao Yuncheng's eyes were bright every time he came.
Lin Chen grabbed Shi Qian's hand and motioned them to leave first.
At this time, it would be best for Xiao Yuncheng to stay here.
They bowed and paused for a long time before getting up and walking out of the cemetery.
Xiao Yuncheng stood in front of the tomb with his head down. Wu Tong seemed to be sitting on the tomb, his body was empty. He looked at Xiao Yuncheng with a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Yuncheng was stunned for a long time before he slowly said, "Tongtong, I've been promoted to director."
"The medal was brought to me personally by Director Tonghai."
"We were on a mission a couple of days ago, and those idiots were hilarious. They were too scared to move when they saw us."
"And last time, I pinned a criminal to the ground and beat him, and he cried and begged me to let him go."
“······”
"Tongtong." A trace of fatigue appeared in Xiao Yuncheng's eyes. His voice was not as strong as before. Perhaps he was really too tired. He said, "I'm so tired. I miss you so much."
Xu Wu Tong, who was sitting on the tombstone, paused. He stood up and hugged Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng seemed to feel his embrace, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Tongtong, I have always lived a good life.
So, when I go down, you have to reward me more.
Okay?
