    On November 2, 2015, Zhao Yichen woke up from a slight jolt.

    There was still the soft sound of the train running over the rails in his ears. He stared at the bed board with floral wallpaper on the bottom of the upper bunk bed for a while, then sat up, lifted the quilt on his body, and found his shoes at the bottom of the bed.

    At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright.  What is retreating outside the car window is still the smoky mountains, with dark green foothills. Looking up, you can't see clearly the true appearance hidden among the clouds and mist.  Zhao Yichen glanced at the empty lower bunk opposite, left his coat on the bed, got up and went to the washbasin to wash up briefly.

    The train just passed a small platform, and there was a lone passenger walking around in the carriage with a backpack on his back.  One can still faintly hear the sound of snoring in the aisle. Most of the passengers preparing to get off the bus have woken up, and some people are stepping on the flip-up benches by the window, stretching their hands to pull the luggage on the luggage rack.  Zhao Yichen offered his hand as he passed by, and when the other party thanked him, he just shook his head.

    A mother stood in front of the sink, using a disposable paper cup to rinse her child's mouth.

    Zhao Yichen then waited in the smoking area, leaning against the wall and looking at the next car.  The connection between the two carriages always shook the most. From his position, the square port of the carriage seemed to be about to break away at any time.  He took out his phone and checked the time. It was just after six o'clock.  He got on the train from City Y train station in the early morning. He didn't take the high-speed rail, but took the regular express.  The train made a temporary stop midway, and it would take another two hours to arrive at X City East Station.

    My forehead feels a little hot.  Zhao Yichen raised his hand to explore, but made no sound.

    The mother on the other side of the washstand gently slapped the back of the child's hand twice, scolding him in a low voice, while holding his small shoulders and pushing him into the carriage.  Standing up straight again, Zhao Yichen carried his travel toiletries, walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and washed his face with a handful of cold water.

    When I walked out of the platform at eight o'clock, the sun was already rising high.

    Winter has not yet entered this southern city, and the weather is as hot as summer. There are crowds of people in front of the station, and the sour smell of sweat floats in the air.  Zhao Yichen walked among the crowds of people. He looked up and saw the crowd holding signs outside the fence to pick up the bride. He saw the long line of passengers passing through the inspection. He saw the pickpockets with eye-rolling eyes mixed in the sea of ??people. He also saw the pickpockets and their hands following behind them.  A plainclothesman who has reached into his pocket.

    The bright sunlight shines on the steaming concrete floor, making it dazzling.  Zhao Yichen closed his eyes and felt dizzy.

    When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xu Zhen standing at the end of the passage.  She stood on her toes in the sunshine, standing on tiptoes and waving to him.

    Zhao Yichen took off the coat on his shoulders and walked towards her slowly with a calm expression.

    On the way back, he kept leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, sitting in the passenger seat, silent.

    Xu Zhen occasionally turned her head and glanced at his side face, holding the steering wheel in her hand. After several hesitations, she finally broke the awkwardness in a low voice: "By the way, Captain Zhao have you finally found out who made the call and sent the photo?"

    The man beside him didn¡¯t respond.  She couldn't help but look at him in the rearview mirror, but she saw that his eyes were still closed, and his thin face was slightly tilted towards the car door, as if he had fallen asleep.  The tight string in her mind relaxed. Xu Zhen was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard him suddenly speak again.

    "The photo was sent by Qin Yan." He said, "The caller should be Xu Lian."

    When speaking, he still maintained that posture and did not even open his eyes.  She was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to answer or not.

    "Oh" After a while, she held back her voice from her chest, "You can rest. I'll call you when I get there."

    But she didn't have time to call him.

    The car stopped at the entrance of the community, and Zhao Yichen opened his eyes.

    "Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest early." He unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door without saying anything, and stretched his legs out of the car.  Seeing that he was about to leave, Xu Zhen quickly opened the car door and got out, calling him from across the car: "Captain Zhao!"

    Zhao Yichen stopped and turned sideways to look at her.  Under the sun, for a second or two, Xu Zhen couldn't see his face clearly.

    "Next monthI'm going to apply to be transferred to the Anti-Human Trafficking Office." She heard herself telling him.

    Then she saw him clearly.  He stood there, his eyebrows introverted and his face calm, watching her.  He was still alone, his body upright, his hands hanging at his sides inserted into his trouser pockets.  Just like how she remembered it, it hasn't changed at all.

    "Have you thought it through?" he asked her.

    Maybe it was because the sunlight was too dazzling, but tears welled up in Xu Zhen¡¯s eyes.

    "I've thought about it clearly." She smiled and wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously. "The past few years have been very busy and tiring. I am very happy in the police force, but I don't know what I really want. Now  I see."

    &?Don't leave.  "

    Wait for him to come back and don¡¯t leave.

    "I still have to go to work." Hu Jiaying chuckled in his ear, "It's okay, I'll be back after get off work."

    Even though he knew it was impossible, he still closed his eyes and nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll be back after get off work."

    The person in his arms patted him on the back one last time, then pushed his arm and urged: "Well, go quickly, don't be late."

    She sent him to the door.  Zhao Yichen bent down to put on his shoes, then straightened up, put one hand on the doorknob, and looked back at her.

    Hu Jiaying hadn't taken off her apron yet, she raised her eyes to meet his, smiled at him, and waved her hand.  Just as he remembered, his face was thin and his eyebrows were gentle.

    "Let's go." He moved his lips and said to her.

    Nodding slightly, Hu Jiaying stood there without speaking.

    After pressing the doorknob, Zhao Yichen turned around, pushed the door open and left.  He walked quickly, passing one corner after another.  He never heard her close the door.  When he reached the last corner, he stopped and stood in the quiet corridor for a long time, looking at the empty exit at the bottom of the corridor, looking at the corner of light cast in by the bright sunshine outside, and hearing his own calm heartbeat.

    After a long time, Zhao Yichen stepped forward, walking along the path illuminated by the light, step by step, toward the only exit.

    He knew that if he walked out this time, he would not come back again-

    End-

    Zhao Yichen opened his eyes, and before he could see the vast expanse of white in front of him, he smelled the smell of hospital disinfectant.

    There was only one corridor light on in the single ward. He was lying on the hospital bed, covered with a clean thin quilt, with an infusion needle inserted into the back of his hand, and his whole body was covered in sweat that had just cooled down.  There was a figure lying on the sofa by the window. Zhao Yichen listened carefully to the slight snoring and judged that this person was his brother-in-law.

    Zhao Xishan curled up next to Zhao Yichen, his forehead touching his arm, his small body rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

    Raising his hand to touch her forehead to confirm that she was not sweating, Zhao Yichen pulled the quilt to cover her thin shoulders.

    There was a faint light in the night outside the window.

    He wakes up at dawn to welcome the new day.

    ?Write at the end:

    Originally, there was a long ending. After thinking about it for a long time, I changed it.

    The twelfth second is both the end and the new starting point.  Our world still alternates between day and night.
