catch the dream

Yu Hao was thrown on the bed, Zhou Sheng came up and kissed him, but just when Yu Hao thought he wanted something, Zhou Sheng turned and left.

Zhou Sheng put on his apron, cleaned up the hot pot and shrimp shells, threw out the trash, and washed the dishes.

"Zhou Sheng." Yu Hao said.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhou Sheng said, "I'm busy helping you realize your birthday wish."

"I want to mate." Yu Hao turned over, looking at the bright street scene and lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking this is really crazy.

"Mating and mating, you only know how to eat and mate. What else do you know to do?" Zhou Sheng threw all his things into the sink, and without washing, he unbuttoned his shirt cuff buttons, went to bed, and said, "Take it off!"

Yu Hao undressed, and then undressed Zhou Sheng. The sheets and quilts were really comfortable, and the room was well heated.

"Did you forget something?" Zhou Sheng said.

Yu Hao said, "Wait, where is the house?"

Zhou Sheng said, "Do we have to discuss this in bed?"

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng looked at each other for a moment.

"You're a lot whiter." Yu Hao said with a smile, "You're so handsome."

Zhou Sheng has always been the figure of a sports student. He hasn't sunbathed much since the summer vacation. After wearing a suit for a few months, he took it off now. Only now did Yu Hao have a chance to take a good look at him. The lighting in his new home was plentiful, and he was thin and fair. Delicate and beautiful, the bottom is straight up, the hair is trimmed very short, Yu Hao played with it a few times, Zhou Sheng kissed him again, as if he was waiting for something.

"And then?" Zhou Sheng asked, "Don't you want a birthday present?"

Yu Hao was holding Zhou Sheng's one, he didn't quite understand for a moment, and said, "Oh, is it this one?"

Zhou Sheng blushed and said with a smile, "Isn't this yours?"

Yu Hao's face was flushed, Zhou Sheng said, "If you don't ask, you'll be gone!"

Yu Hao said, "Birthday present! Where's my birthday present?"

After Yu Hao said this, Zhou Sheng came in. At that moment, the two hugged each other tightly, and Yu Hao was so happy that he trembled a little.

Zhou Sheng didn't move, he just looked at Yu Hao's eyes.

"I originally wanted to open a store for you in Beijing," Zhou Sheng said in a low voice, reaching out to touch Yu Hao's hair, "It's called 'Hao Yue Sheng'."

Yu Hao touched Zhou Sheng's side face. At this moment, he felt great satisfaction. They all forcibly suppressed the urge to break the embankment, and continued the conversation with difficulty.

"And then?" Yu Hao moaned, "Do you have to talk like this? Let's talk about it later! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"But on the day of the speech, in the middle of my speech, I suddenly changed my mind." Zhou Sheng said in Yu Hao's deep and magnetic voice, "Now I've brought you a present."

Yu Hao couldn't take it anymore, Zhou Sheng was able to restrain himself like this, he gasped and asked, "What's the gift?"

"It's right here." Zhou Sheng looked into Yu Hao's eyes, licked his lower lip, and kissed his lips, "Didn't you see it?"

"What is it?" Yu Hao was distracted for a moment, hugged Zhou Sheng's waist, and said, "Yes..." He suddenly understood.Zhou Sheng laughed and said, "Me. I quit my job. Well, I'm going to start fucking you."

Yu Hao: "Ahhh..."

Yu Hao was about to go crazy, this night he was completely unable to think clearly, compared to last night's brutal actions, this night Zhou Sheng was much gentler, but more domineering and less able to resist.Until late at night, after Yu Hao took a shower, Zhou Sheng rearranged the sofa and floor lamp, went to bed, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

"I... don't care about the house over there?" Yu Hao said.

"The landlord has refunded all the money." Zhou Sheng said, "I don't care about her."

Yu Hao: "She will refund your money?"

Zhou Sheng: "Otherwise, what do you think I'm busy all day, life is more important than money, of course life is more important."

Yu Hao: "..."

"This house is really more than 8000? Where did you get the money?"

"I earned [-] yuan by working part-time for three months." Zhou Sheng replied, "I'll give you [-] yuan, and you have [-] yuan left over. If you have a few thousand yuan left over to eat this month, you'll get paid next month, right? Look at the daily necessities. It doesn't take much effort, we don't raise children, are we afraid of hair?"

Yu Hao: "Then you don't care about Yun Laichun?"

Zhou Sheng said: "At the last meal, the old man asked me to go on a blind date again, so I quit."

Yu Hao: "Oh."

Zhou Sheng said, "What? What else do you want to say?"

Yu Hao said, "Of course not. I want to hit him, okay? This is a matter of principle."

Zhou Sheng said with satisfaction: "Well, trust me, I've proven myself, I won't be worse than at home, no matter how tiring you are, you're not tired."

Yu Hao turned his head, and moved closer to Zhou Sheng with a tacit understanding, and kissed each other.

Yu Hao felt a strong sense of unreality.In fact, from the day he left Zhou Sheng, he had a premonition, and when he saw Zhou Sheng give a speech, the premonition was already very strong.It's just that he never really believed in his premonition, and he didn't expect that the premonition would come true, Zhou Sheng and Zhou Laichun had a falling out.

Since Zhou Laichun always asked Zhou Sheng to go on a blind date, there was no room for it—it was because Zhou Sheng was willing to accept his father's arrangement with only one purpose, that is, to live a better life with Yu Hao.Zhou Laichun stupidly cut off Zhou Sheng's motivation to fight from the source, so the negotiation broke down completely and ended.

Yu Hao touched Zhou Sheng's naked left chest, his heartbeat was so firm and powerful, it was like the thunder that awakened the whole earth.

"You didn't talk about me." Zhou Sheng was already prepared to deal with Yu Hao's persuasion to go back, but he didn't expect Yu Hao to accept it.

Yu Hao said: "Anyway, I'm thinking about it too, he can't accept me. No matter how much money I make, it's meaningless not to be together."

"Now we're together again, how does it feel?" Zhou Sheng turned sideways, put his arms around Yu Hao, put his long legs around his waist, and fixed him in his arms.

Yu Hao said, "Familiar formula, familiar taste."

Zhou Sheng laughed.

Familiar formula, familiar taste.On this night three months later, everything seemed so natural.

"Here I am again—" Zhou Sheng was wearing a golden armored suit, stepped on colorful auspicious clouds, brought his black dragon, and landed in the center of the arena.

Surrounded by the stands, Yu Hao opened his eyes and realized that he had appeared in Zhou Sheng's dream!

In the past two years or so, Zhou Sheng had never used the Golden Crow Wheel, but on the day of their reunion, he dragged Yu Hao in without saying hello.

"Come on, Satan." Zhou Sheng said, "It's gluttonous, stop talking nonsense."

"Zhou Sheng!" Yu Hao shouted from the VIP seat.

Darkness Zhou Sheng was wearing the armor of a death knight, sitting side by side with Yu Hao on the sofa of the VIP seat, with a glass of wine in his hand, one foot on the coffee table, and laughed.

"Baby." Dark Zhou Sheng said, "I finally see you again. Sit down, don't get too excited."

Yu Hao dragged his shining wings, and stood in the center of the VIP seats, with Zhou Sheng's totem floating high in front of him, and the miraculous light changed.

Zhou Sheng whistled towards the high place, pointed at the stand, and signaled Yu Hao to sit down, and pointed the Sea God Needle in his hand at Taotie in the arena, who was restrained by heavy chains.

Yu Hao sat down slowly, and Dark Zhou Sheng reached out to put his hand on his shoulder, but the wings on Yu Hao's back trembled, radiant and stretched straight, and bounced Dark Zhou Sheng's black iron armored gauntlet away.

"I can let him win once." Dark Zhou Sheng said, "How about we take advantage of this time to have sex?"

Yu Hao leaned back a little, raised his foot, and then put it on the coffee table, looked sideways at Zhou Sheng in the dark, and narrowed his eyes a little.

Dark Zhou Sheng said: "I am him, he is me, you still don't understand?"

Yu Hao replied: "No, the first day I met on the Great Wall was him, not you."

In the dark, Zhou Sheng snorted arrogantly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The owner of the dream has decided to challenge Taotie." Satan's voice resounded throughout the arena, "Whether he can defeat his material desire? Let us wait and see!"

Taotie broke free from the chains all over his body, roared to the sky, Zhou Sheng held the golden cudgel on his back, smiled, and danced a round of beautiful stick flowers from behind to in front of him.Yu Hao put down the dagger in his hand and placed it on the stage.

"Let's make a bet?" Yu Hao said to Zhou Sheng in the dark.

"Talk about the bet." Dark Zhou Sheng raised his brows.

Taotie ran up and ran wildly, Zhou Sheng swung his golden cudgel and rushed forward——

The clouds in the sky changed color briefly, and a blood-colored glow burst out from its huge crack. At that moment, it was no longer the imprisoned Monkey King who flew up, but the Monkey King who smashed the Heavenly Palace with a stick. !

With just one stick, the Taotie was smashed into pieces, turning into countless light spots flying around, spinning and flying towards the black dragon behind Zhou Sheng. The black dragon lowered its head, and a galaxy-like light spot sank into its forehead, and a sharp unicorn grew out. horn!

Cheers flooded the entire arena, Yu Hao turned his head and glanced at Satan, then at the arena, towards Zhou Sheng who was walking towards him with a bright smile.

Yu Hao woke up abruptly from his dream, and saw Zhou Sheng pull open the curtains, standing in front of the French windows, looking at the splendid morning sun in Beijing after the snow.

"you……"

Zhou Sheng whistled, smiled brightly at Yu Hao, and went to wash the pot in the sink.

Yu Hao said, "Hello!"

Zhou Sheng: "Mate again?"

Yu Hao laughed, hugged the quilt, and glanced at the phone.

"You really don't want to leave, right?" Yu Hao said.

Zhou Sheng: "Time is limited, I don't have time to mix stuffing and make dim sum. Let's make do with some quick-frozen ones. Let's make dumplings at home in a few days."

Zhou Sheng took out siu mai, custard buns and other snacks from the refrigerator, steamed breakfast for Yu Hao, took out the hand pour coffee pot and filter paper and put them on the table, and signaled Yu Hao to make it himself.He even bought this, Yu Hao hasn't made coffee by himself for a long time, so he went to wash up immediately, and made two cups of coffee in front of the small bar in the kitchen, just like every morning when they were together.

"You can't leave my sight today." Yu Hao said, "I always suspect that you are lying to me again, so you can't leave the house."

After Zhou Sheng washed the dishes, the water in the steamer was boiling. He put the frozen food in and steamed it, and said, "Why don't you just hide my ID card and bank card? Are you still afraid that I'm going to fly now?"

Yu Hao thought so, so he went to search for Zhou Sheng's ID card and money, and collected them all. Zhou Sheng pulled the high chair over, turned on his phone, took a piece of paper, and sat in the kitchen to start counting living expenses.Yu Hao was lying on the side watching, the phone rang, and the display showed "Old White-eyed Wolf".Zhou Sheng just glanced at it, and said, "Block it."

Yu Hao tapped on the hands-free answer.

"Yu Hao." Zhou Laichun said.

Yu Hao said: "Mr. Zhou, your goose is in my hands."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

Yu Hao: "How did you think about the conditions last time? Didn't call the police, everyone is smart, I think you must understand."

With a smirk on his face, Zhou Sheng started to fold a plane out of white paper.

"You let him answer the phone." Zhou Laichun's tone was very calm.

Yu Hao: "I guarantee with my personality that he is absolutely safe now. If you hand over the money and shares, you will be able to see him."

Zhou Sheng finally couldn't help it anymore, he laughed so much he lay on the bar counter, took the paper airplane, and flung it at Yu Hao smartly, Yu Hao quickly caught it and threw it back, he and Zhou Sheng were like two children, they could play with everything .

"Yu Hao." Zhou Laichun said, "What exactly do you want?"

"You lied to him." Yu Hao finally said seriously, "This is the worst act a father has committed to his son, Mr. Zhou, you are dishonest."

"How did I deceive him?" Zhou Laichun suddenly became furious, "Which one of my words is not telling the truth?!"

Yu Hao said coldly: "The other day you said, 'You really want to be the master of your own life. Just rely on your own ability to prove it.' He has put in so much effort and has done everything that should be done, how about you? Do you have a chance to be the master of your own life?"

Zhou Sheng lifted the cover, put the steamed dumplings, siu mai, and milk yolk packaging on a plate, opened the rice cooker, and scooped the preserved egg and lean meat porridge.Zhou Laichun swears a swear word, but Yu Hao said: "This negotiation is blown, we will never trust you again, you lack the basic qualities of a businessman, Mr. Zhou, you are dishonest!"

"Yu Hao, you are so arrogant! I never promised you anything!" Zhou Laichun said, "You let Zhou Sheng answer the phone!"

Yu Hao said: "Don't talk to me about what you have! Now you want to play side-by-side? That's what you meant when you said what you said!"

Zhou Sheng had a "fucking" expression on his face, he gave Yu Hao a thumbs up, smoothed the oil in the frying pan, beat the eggs, and fried the eggs.Zhou Laichun finally cursed angrily, and began to attack Yu Hao personally, but Yu Hao automatically blocked him, and said coldly: "You scold, let you release your emotions, I will be blocked after scolding, please go ahead. "

On the other hand, Zhou Laichun stopped talking.

Yu Hao waited for 2 minutes, Zhou Laichun immediately hung up the phone angrily, and it was over.

Zhou Sheng put the breakfast on the table, took out a small bottle of Maggi fresh juice from the refrigerator, dipped Yu Hao in fried eggs, and said, "Do you know what I like most about you?"

Yu Hao now believed that Zhou Sheng would not go back. Although he was a little upset when Zhou Laichun scolded him as "you little bastard", his overall mood was quite good.

"What?" Yu Hao looked at the breakfast on the table.

"You know what I'm thinking." Zhou Sheng tore off the paper under the custard bag, and said to himself, "You know what I didn't say, or what I couldn't say, and no one knows me better than you."

Yu Hao said: "Sometimes not all of them."

"Huh?" Zhou Sheng observed Yu Hao.

"I saw you preparing a speech that day." Yu Hao smiled, "I think if this continues, I might lose you."

Zhou Sheng said lightly: "I feel it too, you said, you don't know me anymore."

Both Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng didn't continue talking, Zhou Sheng put the custard bag in Yu Hao's hand, and the two of them started to eat breakfast facing the bright morning light.

"I want to go to the work unit later." Yu Hao said, "Let's sort out the topic. The proprietress only helps me edit the pictures, and I have to write the manuscript myself."

"Go." Zhou Sheng said nonchalantly, "I'm looking for Kaikai, and I'll stop by his university to see. I'll come over to meet you for dinner at noon."

Yu Hao said: "Put on more, it's too cold outside."

Beijing is melting snow today, and it is indeed very cold. Situ Ye and Lin Ze were wrapped in thick down jackets, shivering with the cold as they baked the half-dead stove in the office.

"Why are you here again?" Lin Ze said, "Didn't I give you three days off?"

Yu Hao said: "I'll sort out the manuscript, anyway I have to write it in a few days...it's so cold. Don't you guys never have holidays?"

Lin Ze would come to the office every day even on weekends.

"It's so cold." Situ Ye said, "Let's sing to keep warm. One, two, three! I want you by my side..."

Yu Hao: "I want...to watch you make up..."

"It's all because of the night, the sultry madness, I want to sing and think of you silently..."

After singing a song, it became even colder, and Yu Hao's cell phone turned off automatically.

"It's so cold." Situ Ye and Yu Hao wailed together.

"I can't live through this day." Situ Ye said again.

Lin Ze said, "Go to work...the reimbursement hasn't come yet. When will Yu Hao leave?"

"Not leaving." Yu Hao said with a smile he couldn't hide.

Lin Ze: "Oh?"

Yu Hao: "Yes."

Situ Ye: "Oh..."

Yu Hao wondered if the two of them knew something, Situ Ye said, "Where's the graduation thesis?"

Yu Hao said: "The dissertation still needs to be written. I will ask Mr. Chen another day if he can take me to write it in Beijing, so that I can just go back and defend." This is the result of his discussion with Zhou Sheng in the morning.

"Where's the red Angry Birds?" Situ Ye asked while editing the photo, "Are you going to drift north with you?"

Yu Hao hooked up the recorder and imported the interview recording, thinking that you actually gave Zhou Sheng such a nickname, but thinking that Zhou Sheng's eyebrows were indeed a bit like the red Angry Bird in the game, he couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot .

Situ Ye's ability to come up with nicknames is simply outstanding, he has the metaphor style of a literary master, he nicknamed the deputy editor-in-chief Pai Daxing, and compared Yu Hao to the yellow angry bird, bought a bunch of buckles Zhang, one for each person, pinned to the camera bag.

"He's going to find a part-time job in Beijing first," Yu Hao said, "to earn some living expenses, and then he will study hard and take the postgraduate entrance examination for a business degree in a university here in Beijing." This was also what he discussed with Zhou Sheng in the morning.

"Let's go to Wudaokou Institute of Technology." Lin Ze glanced at Yu Hao and said, "If you don't have a fan filter in your description of him, he should be able to pass the exam."

Yu Hao said: "I'll discuss it with him again..." As he spoke, he put on the earphones, and began to change the messy dialect script after the voice-to-text conversion.

"Yu Hao." Situ Ye said suddenly, "Do you... know this person?"

Yu Hao struggled to identify the strange dialect, Lin Ze frowned with a questioning look, Situ Ye was holding an eraser, staring at the screen, and looking sideways at the photos.

Yu Hao was hit by the eraser, and suddenly came back to his senses, Situ Ye said, "Come over and have a look?"

He used the mouse wheel to zoom in on the photo, Yu Hao's head was full of question marks, it was an interview photo at the end of October.The content of the photo was a street scene, Yu Hao had already forgotten what he was going to interview, it seemed that it was taken outside a high-end residential area where people gathered together to take drugs.

In the photo, there was a very ordinary-looking middle-aged man who looked at the camera in the crowd.

"I don't know." Yu Hao said, "What's the matter?"

Situ Ye looked at the man, showing a puzzled expression, and said, "Look at this picture again."

Whether it's a mobile phone or a camera, Yu Hao often encounters this kind of situation where unrelated people occasionally look at the camera and enter the camera. Situ Ye often teaches him how to cut out some strange-looking elements from the photo.

Yu Hao: "???"

Situ Ye called up the photos in November that were more than a month apart, zoomed in with the scroll wheel, and said, "Look at this man."

Yu Hao was baffled, his camera had extremely high pixels, and after zooming in, many details could be clearly seen. This picture was a car passing by in the distance with the window rolled down, and a profile appeared.

"Do you think this is the same person?" Situ Ye asked Yu Hao.

Situ Ye couldn't judge for himself, Yu Hao felt terrified in an instant, and said, "No way! Madam Boss! What does this mean? Don't scare me!"

Lin Ze felt a little nervous when he was told, and said, "Who is it? Let me see?"

Lin Ze came over to look at it, and said, "It's just a passerby's face, are you stupid for editing pictures?"

"Hmm..." Situ Ye looked at the photo.

Lin Ze: "Look at the hairline, it's obviously different here!"

Yu Hao: "It's okay, okay."

"What?" Zhou Sheng's voice said from behind.

The three of them screamed wildly, Zhou Sheng arrived at some time, carrying four bento boxes, and distributed them to Lin Ze and Situ Ye.

"Oh." Zhou Sheng didn't make any comments after seeing the photos.

Yu Hao said, "It's not alone. Madam Boss, your thinking is really weird sometimes."

"Hmm..." Situ Ye tilted his head and said, "Sometimes I can't help but play Lianliankan for the people in the background, trying to get rid of it."

Yu Hao: "..."

Zhou Sheng was wearing baggy jeans, a thick coat, and a red and black hat today.No one seemed to be surprised at his presence in this office.

"It's really cold." Zhou Sheng said, "Let's move a charcoal stove."

Yu Hao said: "Farewell, bear with it, I don't want to use this method to get on the front page of my own newspaper tomorrow."

Lin Zedao: "I asked the head office to apply for a small-scale renovation, otherwise I won't be able to survive the winter."

"I found a job." Zhou Sheng said, "Go for an interview in the afternoon."

"What to do?" Yu Hao asked.

"Business consulting." Zhou Sheng said, "Huang Ting introduced me. This consulting firm has cooperation with them. On the plane that day, I just started talking about my coming to Beijing, and that guy let me I gave him my resume, but I couldn't resist for a long time, so I had to give it, and I was allowed to go for an interview in just two days."

Yu Hao said: "What is that?"

Zhou Sheng said: "As for the analysis of the real industry, I'll ask first if I can take my work home occasionally." He scratched his head and narrowed his eyes as he spoke, as if he was thinking about something.

Lin Ze: "Are you interviewing? Let me borrow your formal clothes? I'm afraid the size will be too small."

Zhou Sheng said, "No need."

Yu Hao thought that maybe he could learn something, but Lin Ze glanced at Zhou Sheng from behind the computer.Zhou Sheng went there after lunch. In the afternoon, Yu Hao was still dealing with the manuscript in a daze. Lin Ze said, "Yu Hao, if you have time, look for textbooks and get ready to apply for the editorial qualification certificate. If you have time, take the exam first." .”

Yu Hao: "Okay."

Jin Weicheng also came, but he didn't go to the interview today, he just stared at Yu Hao to revise the manuscript.Situ Ye said: "Mr. Jin, you just finished the interview, why don't you go back and rest for two days?"

Jin Weicheng: "It's okay, it's colder at home than at work, it's warmer here with more people."

Yu Hao: "..."

During the tea break, Zhou Sheng came back again, greeted Jin Weicheng, moved a chair and sat outside the door to bask in the sun, and looked down at some postgraduate entrance examination materials in his hand.

"The interview is over." Zhou Sheng said, "Let me go to work tomorrow."

"So fast?!" Yu Hao was shocked.

Zhou Sheng said "hmm" and said, "I'll run errands for them from the beginning, there's not much to do."

Yu Hao: "How much is it a month?"

Zhou Sheng: "Six thousand for the probationary period. After becoming a full-time employee, there will be an additional commission of [-]."

Lin Ze: "..."

Situ Ye: "..."

Yu Hao: "So many?!"

Lin Ze held his forehead with one hand, and Zhou Sheng said, "Your leader is here, can you stop slapping your face. The slap sound is too cruel."

Situ Ye burst into laughter, and Lin Ze said, "Introduced by your friend?"

Zhou Sheng: "That's right, are you coming? I think you're a good fit, boss. They asked me if I had a family and if my wife was around, and I said my wife was working as an investigative reporter. They said, 'Well, this can add points', let me I did a set of test questions, gave me a situational survey, asked some questions, and immediately decided to hire me, and let me tell you, it was really right away, without any hesitation." He moved a chair and gave three Situ Ye laughed so hard that he almost fell off his chair when he played the scene of his own interview.

"Wait, wait." Yu Hao said, "Why do they give you extra points when I'm an investigative reporter? Does this have anything to do with me?"

Zhou Sheng smiled and patted Yu Hao's face with two fingers, and said, "It's nothing, just write your manuscript. Hurry up and go home for dinner after get off work."

Situ Ye looked at the time and said, "I've gone shopping too."

Jin Weicheng: "What is their main business?"

Zhou Sheng flipped through the files and said, "Catch mistresses, shoot Lao Lai, investigate real estate, divide property in divorce... Collect business infringement evidence, crack down on counterfeiting rights protection, find people, a lot of things are missing. The company has no certification, and an old man who retired from criminal investigation opened company of."

"Why is there such a strange company?" Yu Hao said, "Isn't this just..."

"Private detective?" Jin Weicheng said, "I haven't been in this industry for a few years, and I'm making so much money?"

"You want to be a private detective?" Yu Hao said.

"Isn't it great?" Zhou Sheng said seriously, "I like it. Being a brave private detective is my ideal!"

Lin Ze: "Illegal production. There must be cooperation with the higher-ups, otherwise it will not be able to open in Beijing. If the higher-ups are not easy to come forward to investigate, I will leave it to them."

Zhou Sheng said: "Well, the door may be closed at any time, the facade is small, and the sign of the Business Consulting and Analysis Center is just behind Xidan. If you have nothing to do, you don't have to go to work often... I'm surprised that it's so directed at Huang Ting I want to save face...forget it, let's do it first, and change it if it doesn't work."

Lin Ze: "If you have any information, my uncle will share it."

Zhou Sheng: "Okay, when I get to know you well, I'll be your informant by the way, and earn some breaking news fees."

Jin Weicheng shook his head, refused to comment, and spread out the notebook in his hand to write something.

Zhou Sheng thought for a while, then got up and left, coming and going without a trace.
