The noise behind seems like someone is walking behind... not sure if someone is following. Frightened, the girl turned her head and looked back with worried eyes, but there was no one. Sighing, she ruffled her head and walked forward again, down a dark alley full of trash and dirty things lying on the ground. A few soft rubbings, like the sound of cats scratching at a cardboard box, she felt a chill, that feeling again but this time it was everywhere.
It is looking at her.
Staring as a nocturnal hunter looks at its prey.
Feeling insecure like a red alarm, she did not dare to look around and tried to walk quickly through the alley. Fast footsteps, things behind also go fast, running things run. It always kept a certain distance from her, with no intention of getting ahead like it was playing catch. Swallowing, the young girl who kept aiming straight for her head now only knew how to get out of here.
Must hurry.
The sound of metal being dragged gave off a chilling, chilling sound. The footsteps were getting closer and closer as if he had grown tired of the chase. The young girl had a bad premonition, it must be called extremely bad. She ventured to look behind her, a long machete raised high, the streetlight making it blindingly bright.
The long scream in the quiet night made the wild cats also startle meow...

Early in the morning, he felt unlucky, Canh Yen had breakfast while watching the news on TV, who would never turn on the TV early in the morning to see death. It's best not to leave the house today. However, this murderer is also very cruel, stop killing, just peel off the other person's skin. He was quite immune to corpses, but hearing the messenger made his skin ache.
Dizziness, he switched to another channel, this news is not beneficial to him anyway, if it is, please show it to the police. Taking a long, dejected breath, he glanced at the clock on the wall, half dumbfounded. These days, I keep seeing this guy, I also meet him when I go out to eat, I also meet him when I go to Da Diem to find a Nhim, and I also meet him when I go to the park to fish. Sometimes I thought this name was attached to his body.
Just thinking about it, what is this guy up to?
Want to be a godly general? Hmm, acting with someone who is going to act before you? If you don't feed your shoes, you'll be happy.
Depressed for the second time, it seems that since pregnancy, he rarely goes out, sometimes feels bored. Looks like Uncle Lam Bang has returned, or is he over there to play? It's okay anyway, I haven't heard him talk for a long time, but it's strange to come to people's houses. Or shake more Dinh Hieu for fun, don't let this guy get busy, shake it more, and don't smash the pile of documents in his face. Bored, it's natural to see life as boring.
Aunt Giao is wearing a wool hat, she said she wants to knit a set for the baby as a gift, he also wants to learn but it's hard for young adults to know what embroidery and needlework are. After playing a few times, I was not happy anymore, so I curled up to the side. Auntie saw that he kept moving his chin and stretching for a long time, she understood that he was bored, smiled, and said: "Mr. Yen, this morning didn't you have an appointment with Chairman Huynh?"
"Ah." Without reminding him, he also forgot, the other guy suddenly came up with the story that he wanted to go with him to 'act' to check out a few hotels in the Thanh Hien area and said that he saw that he was too free, so he went along for fun. Hearing this reason, he naturally wanted to smack him like a cockroach.
Depressed, he was naturally lazy, met him yesterday at the company in front of people's tables, maybe he refused, then without respecting his boss, he had to carry the name "lemon discharge" again. Before giving birth, he didn't want to create karma, so he avoided what he avoided. But now that I think about it, didn't you go with him and not get the jealous and jealous eyes of the girls and boys in the company?
Oh, human life, it's not enough to want to be a good person.
While dreaming, the phone rang. He picked it up to see, on his beloved phone appeared the hateful name 'Mad-Dog'.
"Hello."
Hearing that lazy, slimy voice, he knew that he hadn't woken up or was lying on the chair with water. Take a long breath, who can he let this young man go to infinity, just find it funny. He leaned back in his comfortable chair and looked at the yellow sunflowers that peeked through the gap in the gate. Laughing, pretending to say:
"Are you ready? I'm in front of your house."
Immediately hearing something mumbling, Dong Khanh knew that he was cursing him. After a long time, he heard a tired reply: "Ah... boss, of course, I'm too uncomfortable so you should go alone."
He laughed, knowing right away that you would use this trick, shook his head to suppress a smile, and replied in a serious voice: "Do you have a problem? Do you need to go to the hospital to see?"
"It's okay, just a little tired. I'm afraid I'll get in the way of your work, you just go ahead and don't think about me."
"I see that you talk so much, you are very strong, come here quickly, don't be lazy." As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, otherwise, he would hear the young man's endless taunts. Sit and turn on the light music, the sound is like flowing water in the draft as if you are immersing in the flow of magical nature.
Dong Khanh, I don't understand why I keep wanting this young man to go with me. Perhaps, when he was with Canh Yen, he found it very real, he was neither formal nor polite nor respectful of him. If he wanted to scold, he would scold and scold him, occasionally mocking him with a few sentences, but he did not. didn't want to take advantage or want his money.
He was different from everyone he met. No, he didn't want to fit you into those terms. Jing Yan is very special, at least in his heart.
Especially in a certain direction, even he did not know, but once he met, he did not forget. Or because it's impossible to forget. He doesn't believe in love at first sight, nor does he believe in love at first sight. He doesn't love you, just feels that you are very special but not enough to make his heart flutter.
With the sound of the door opening, Canh Yen put on a coat and got into the car, still wearing a gray backpack as usual. When he sat in, he took it down and threw it on the back seat, lying back on the chair, eyes full of disgust and laziness. He looked at that attitude of unwillingness to obey, so he could only shake his head, turn on the key, then press the accelerator and run away.
In this era, the first thing to protect is natural resources and the environment. Humans have succeeded in remediation of the environment by biological and chemical methods, making non-biodegradable plastic bags, picking up trash from the seabed, climbing mountains to plant forests... In general, a lot of work. At first, it was difficult, but many people did it together, causing a community effect, and then gradually everyone did it. After nearly twenty years, the environment was also much cleaner.
The world prohibits acts of destroying nature, even if it is small, but the punishment is very serious. For example, on a beautiful day, you go out on the street and are chewing gum in your mouth, chewing with your jaw tired, but the trash can is too far away, looking around and seeing no one, immediately sprayed on a bush, and kicked the ground with your feet. If you go up, then congratulations, the cameras everywhere on the electric poles have captured the scene so clearly that your actions are sharp. You can go home, lie down on your bed and wait until the evening when a tall handsome policeman knocks on the door to pick you up and take you back to work.
Also because of a green environment, vehicles have stopped using fuel such as gasoline, now all use solar energy, and a solution was invented by chemists. This solution called OX is used to lubricate machines and prevent rust for a long time, both safe and friendly to nature and not inferior to the old lubricants.
At the same time, many polluting things are taxed very high, for example, cigarettes because the poison in them is very large, both polluting and causing disease for people. Nowadays, the substances in it have been reduced, but its smoke is still toxic, although it is not as bad as half of the previous day, if you want a regular cigarette you have to buy it for the same price as 10 packs in the past, also because the price is too expensive. Many people give up this drug.
When I think of drugs, I remember, I haven't smoked in a long time. Canh Yen is not a drug addict, it's just that he needs a cigarette to stay awake from time to time. He also quit many times, but after a few months he had to smoke a few packs, this time because of the baby, he decided not to touch it. Looking at his good package of medicine, his mouth felt light.
Naturally, I want to try the medicine.
Fragrant...
Swallowing his saliva, he raised his hand to pick up his pack of cigarettes, Dong Khanh looked at him and thought he wanted to smoke a cigarette, intending to give him a lighter, but he hesitated, he opened the garbage container and curled it right there, still acting very annoyed. and growled at him and said:
"From now on, smoking is prohibited in front of me."
"Ah..." What's wrong with this kid? What's up?
Nguyen Ha crossed his arms, he didn't want to explain to him. Fortunately, when he bounced, he was able to control himself without needing a cigarette to bite him, if that poisonous thing is eaten, it's gone. Hungry, craving for something without craving, craving for drugs. One day he suddenly craved coffee, had to force Auntie Giao to drink coffee every day so that he could eat coffee, now think about why he ate those things.
Looking at the young man, he did not understand what he was angry about. He could only shake his head and hold back his laughter, sometimes he didn't know what the young man over there was thinking. Sad and happy times, just like a premenopausal woman. Sometimes I want to make fun of him, but I don't dare, afraid that he will be embarrassed and kill him.
Dong Khanh laughed, pressed the auto-run button, and then fell back to rest.
Modern science and technology, now drivers do not need to drive, just need to have a navigation device and identification to be able to comfortably lie in the car for it to pick up. Automation for cars was successful more than five years ago with many problems at first, but now it has reached a remarkable level, can avoid obstacles by itself, and can run at a speed of 100 km / h.
Also because most people today only take public transport such as subway or bus, very few people have a preference for cars. Most people with money are afraid to go with many people or because it is convenient. Many are close to people riding bicycles or trams because it is both cheap and healthy.
Look at the sporadic cars far ahead of the cyclists passing by. Canh Yen leaned back on the chair, took out the box from his backpack, and ate the fried chicken that he wanted to eat yesterday. Dong Khanh seems to be very tired, he always uses the car to sleep for a while and is now fast asleep. He watched him sleep but could only shake his head, took the pillow from the back seat, and unfolded the small blanket he covered for him. Looking at this tired sleeping face, it's natural to feel like working for a high position and then full of self-pity like this.
Press on the next glass door, the side of the door turns into a touch screen. Canh Yen pressed a few times and immediately turned on the comedy program he watched these days. Put on your wireless headphones, start leaning back on the chair while eating while watching comedy.
Hearing someone laugh, Dong Khanh opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at him. Canh Yen wrinkled his chin while watching, he seemed to be very conscious because someone was sleeping next to him, so every time he laughed, he covered his mouth to prevent the sound from flying out, but still couldn't hide it. that chuckle.
Dong Khanh looked at him, somehow feeling strange emotions in his heart. Like very excited, want to see him smile again. Another kind, this one is more intense, he wants to touch those smiling lips of yours. As if to steal that smile, make it his own, only for him.
The thought began to distort his mind, since when did Dong Khanh reach out his hand. It's almost there, just a little bit, a little bit...
"What happens?" Jing Yan looked at his hand raised to meet his face, he looked at him suspiciously. With four eyes looking at each other, Dong Khanh now can't withdraw his hand, but it's not enough to leave it alone. Confused, who knows that Canh Yen raised the dry chicken box, half-closed eyes said:
"Eat what?"
He knew that he wanted to get rid of the shy air that was gradually 'smell', quickly puffed up a little, he stared ahead, whispered: "Um, thank you."
+++
This time going to the Thanh Hien area also took a lot of time, it sounds like there is a problem in some of the hotels there. Canh Yen also doesn't talk much about his personnel, the designer, also just focuses on his work, not free to look around. But perhaps this time it is not small.
After Dong Khanh booked two rooms for two people, he used the name of a tourist to find out more, took the key, and handed the suitcase to the staff to look next to Canh Yen, who was standing and looking into the distance.
He followed his point of view, saw a couple walking out the door, just looking at the girl's back he guessed it was very beautiful, but why look at her like that? He looked into her eyes, which were filled with bitterness and anger. Those eyes were the first time he saw him, normally his eyes carried a lazy smile, sometimes full of contempt, but never like this sad. What is he thinking? Why do you have such an expression?
Looking down at his hand, he noticed whether it was a habit or not, but Canh Yen kept stroking his stomach, whether he was happy, thinking, or sad about something, his hand subconsciously pressed on his stomach and rubbed it.
Canh Yen walked over to him, raised his hand, and said, "Room card."
Seeing that he was losing interest, he didn't have time to tease him, so he offered his room card with both hands. Canh Yen didn't say that he just went straight to the room, as soon as he entered the room, he lied on the bed.
It seemed that in a flash, he met her again. The girl from that year, even though he could only see her back, he could recognize that laughter, that black hair, as well as a strange feeling, like grasping. Hands crossed over his forehead, he sighed and smiled to himself. She said she hates you, doesn't want to see you again, even if she misses you, she can't be together. But why is the memory stubbornly refusing to let go of him like this?
Lying on the bed, lying down for a long time to get rid of that sad feeling. Canh Yen knows that he is stupid, why would he like someone like that? It is said that first love is beautiful even though it is fragile. But he and she did not have a love letter from the beginning. He liked her, just liked to watch her smile from afar, and then once he appeared in front of her, she made her cry and hate her.
So, why keep remembering?
I don't even know why I remember.
Afternoon, is it already afternoon? Canh Yen sits leaning against the window looking at the sea at sunset, the red sunlight turns the whole sea into the fire. Sparkling pink flames in the deep sea, sparkling in the distance are fishing boats starting their journey to the seabed to catch fish for a living tomorrow. The sea surface is like a province, there are no noisy waves that want to hit the sand, far away from the yellow sand, the shadow of people walking under it, the footprints left behind are quickly lost by the rising tide.
The sea breeze carries a strong salty smell, the smell of salt, which is also the smell of the sea.
The coconut leaves swayed, he froze with a smile, took a deep breath into his stomach, then exhaled loudly to wash away all his troubles.
"I'm so hungry, I just want to eat something." He started humming his song 'Hungry meow'. Excitedly put on a coat and quickly walked out to find something to eat. As soon as he walked out the door, he remembered him, eating alone was a bit sad quiet him. Thinking to do it, he walked over and knocked on his room.
Dong Khanh was also about to ask him to eat, but when he saw that he was sad, it was not convenient for him to say something. Looking at the color of the sky, he must be hungry, he just ate a few things at noon, not sure if he was hungry. He was about to open the door when he heard a knock on the door. As soon as he opened it, Canh Yen smiled, surprised that he didn't expect him to be so fast, but still smiled and said:
"I'm so hungry, let's go eat."
"Um, I was going to call you too. What do you want to eat?" He closed the door, walked, and asked with concern. He looked at that thoughtful face, suddenly finding it very cute. But without giving him time to think more deeply, he laughed and said:
"I want to eat barbecue, meat skewers."
"Going to a restaurant?"
"Wow, it's good to eat these and eat at a restaurant. I know a few places here, let me take you out to eat. Eat delicious bags. Let's go." Before he also went on a new backpacking trip, the other guys came here to play for a few days, so he knew quite a lot of places. After all, having traveled to many places, now I have to teach this young master who is not dusty to eat some street food.
He smiled and told him stories of the past. Just say, just ha ha teasing him pitiful no friends. Dong Khanh also did not argue, he silently walked beside him and watched him swinging his arms and legs in the machine, laughing until his eyes were wide, but his hands could not help but pinch his puffy cheeks.
So soft and smooth pinched very well.
Chat... His hand ached, regretfully having to let go. Jing Yan glared at him, he stood rubbing his cheeks and didn't even care about him. In the past month, he and he talked a lot, he also seemed to forget about being crushed by him, and from childhood to adulthood, he didn't hate anyone for too long, so it was considered an exchange for him. Although Dong Khanh sometimes hates him, he doesn't pay attention to those things, just doesn't care too much about him.
But, it seems this guy is starting to like you already?
Stop it...
He also realized that he was arrogant, so he obediently stood next to him. Until a 'ting, the two walked out together, but the air still carried a tension that could not be released.
Suddenly, Canh Yen passed a person, he stopped to look at that person for a long time and suddenly burst into a mocking smile.
