Reserve the sun

This strange frame-up made Ji Yu enter a rare state of preparation for a high-speed brain operation. After bidding farewell to Qin Yu, he closed the door and sat alone on the sofa. Chores affect his thinking and judgment.

From the photos provided by Qin Yu and her own narrative, Ji Yu can easily judge a few pieces of information.

First, the other party has certain contacts or financial resources, so he can easily find out the relationship between Qin Yu and himself.

The reason is that Qin Yu's pursuit of himself is actually not very public, and not many people know about it. Even most of his college classmates think that Qin Yu's love for him is a kind of worship, even if it will turn into love, it will never be seen. The photos would have launched a level of revenge.

Second, the other party didn't come for him, it was more likely for Jiang Liu.

The reason is that the 'accomplice' found by the other party is Qin Yu. He knew Qin Yu's feelings for him, so he deliberately forged a photo of himself being frivolous by Jiang Liu to make Qin Yu angry, and tried to use this to take revenge on Jiang Liu.Then it was obvious that it was impossible for Qin Yu to expose himself, and only Jiang Liu would be exposed.

Third, the other party may not be in the country, and they don't know Qin Yu at all.

The reason is that the other party's judgment of Qin Yu's ability and character is seriously inaccurate. He thinks that Qin Yu is like all women who are crazy about love.But in fact, everyone who has come into contact with Qin Yu knows that she is calmer than ordinary men when facing major events. This is also the reason why Qin Yu did not rush to act this time, but sought evidence from multiple sources.

Fourth, the other party is arrogant and conceited. He has some talents but is far from capable of strategizing thousands of miles away.

The reason is that the other side asked people to pretend to be themselves and Jiang Liu to take pictures, avoiding technical processing methods, mixing real and fake photos, and adding viruses without deleting them.He forgot that the biggest variable always comes from people, and he thought that he had counted everything, but he just missed Qin Yu.In other words, he thought he understood Qin Yu's behavior patterns and personality tendencies.And this is precisely the embodiment of a person's ability, and only the right person can be the right thing.

Fifth, the other party's feelings for Jiang Liu seem to be complicated.

The reason is that in the photos sent by the other party, Jiang Liu hardly showed his face in the photos with himself. Of course, you can understand that Jiang Liu's appearance is too rich to imitate, but Ji Yu prefers to think that Jiang Liu is in the other party's mind He is in an irreplaceable position, and no one's imitation can satisfy him.But since he admired Jiang Liu so much, why did he use such a method to frame him?The only plausible explanation is 'love to hate'.

Ji Yu recalled and thought over and over again, deduced from these conclusions, and came up with a very likely suspect.

So a few minutes later, Jiang Liu, who was far away in London, received the first call from Ji Yu himself in a few months.

It was an emergency, and Ji Yu didn't calculate the other party's time before making a call like before. When the phone rang, Jiang Liu was sorting out the memories accumulated throughout the day in his mind with his eyes closed.Ji Yu's phone number was specially set, and the ringtone was different, but when the first note sounded, Jiang Liu picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

Jiang Liu's voice was full of doubts, and he was a little nervous. At this time, Ji Yu's sudden phone call gave him a bad feeling.

"Jiang Liu? Do you have time now? I want to tell you something." The sober response on the other end of the phone made Ji Yu heave a sigh of relief. If he disturbed Jiang Liu's sleep, he would feel even more sinful. of.But even if Jiang Liu had already rested and was in a hurry, he would still continue the call.

Realizing that Ji Yu didn't come to tell him the answer, Jiang Liu felt relieved, "Speak, I'll listen."

"I had a meal with Qin Yu today, and she told me that she received an email a month ago... Fortunately, she was not impulsive, otherwise this matter would be really difficult." Ji Yu made a long story short and gave a rough outline of the matter He told Jiang Liu, "After listening, what do you think?" He didn't want to influence the other party's judgment with his own conclusion, but just waited for Jiang Liu's answer with anticipation.

The silence on the other end of the phone didn't last long, Jiang Liu sat on the bed with her lips tightly pressed together, and there was a look of cruelty in her eyes.Breathing out a deep breath of hostility, he asked in a firm tone, "You also have someone to choose?"

"Have."

"Let's talk together?"

"Ok. 1, 2, 3."

"Sebas."

With one order, two sentences with the same name met, overlapped and intersected in radio waves across half of the earth, causing similar vibrations in the ears of the two.

Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Sure enough, you think so too."

Unusual, Jiang Liu sneered, with disdain between the lines, "There will be no one else but him, pretending to be smart, stupid."

"Then what are you going to do?" Ji Yu wondered if he could help, "Would it be inconvenient for you to act as Sebastian?"

Jiang Liu's heart warmed up, and most of her anger dissipated, "He is a little troublesome, but it won't be difficult for me. I have been patient with him over the years, and when this happened, I just found a reason to beat him up."

"Then, if you need me and Qin Yu to cooperate, you must tell me." Ji Yu knew that his abilities were limited, and he probably couldn't control the affairs of the sea, but if he just cooperated internally and externally, he would be fine.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

After finishing the business, Ji Yu felt a strange sense of peace listening to the shallow breathing on the phone.They all said that they were most afraid of the sudden silence of the air, but they didn't feel embarrassed even though they didn't speak.

"you……"

"You recently……"

With the effort of front and rear feet, their heads collided again.The untimely tacit understanding caused Ji Yu to laugh, his voice was more relaxed than before, "Jiang Liu, I didn't expect that we are quite in sync. I have been doing well recently, how about you?"

Hearing Ji Yu's laughter, Jiang Liu also laughed, "I'm fine too, it's just..."

"What is it?" Jiang Liu's behavior of saying half and leaving half to tantalize his appetite made Ji Yu ask back in confusion.

Jiang Liu wanted to say, just miss you.But the atmosphere at the moment was so beautiful that he was afraid that the phone would be hung up as soon as he said these words.

"What is it?" Ji Yu asked again when Jiang Liu didn't make a sound.

"Miss you." Jiang Liu's heart froze, "I just miss you a little."

Ji Yu was stunned on the sofa, not expecting such a sentence to follow.His hand holding the mobile phone was cold, but his ears facing the receiver were hot. Jiang Liu's longing rushed into his mind with his voice, occupying all his thoughts.

Ji Yu's breathing stopped for a few seconds, and there was only a slight electric current on the other end of the phone. Jiang Liu smiled wryly and sighed, saying that he really destroyed the atmosphere. "Sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you."

"Needless to say I'm sorry, Jiang Liu, I was very upset when I saw those photos today. For myself, and for you. I find it hard when I see someone bullying you, targeting you. But I I still don’t want to understand whether this discomfort is because I regard you as a friend or because of other things. During this period of time, I deliberately kept myself very busy, and I didn’t have time to think about it, or I didn’t want to spend time thinking about it. Because I replied After going abroad, I realized that it may be really difficult to accept that I like you, not to mention myself, parents, friends, and society are all problems."

"Jiang Liu, I said I would try to give you an answer, but I broke my promise."

Ji Yu lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm, "For the first time, I feel that I am a complete coward."

There was no news of Ji Yu, and Jiang Liu was already prepared to be rejected.Apart from feeling cold, he was also worried that Ji Yu would push himself too hard.He is gentle in his bones, thinks a lot, and it is too easy to force himself to cooperate after distinguishing the priorities.Now, what he was worried about really happened. "If I knew it would make you so uncomfortable, I would rather keep it from you for the rest of my life."

"Ji Yu, don't think about it, we can be good friends without being lovers. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being friends."

"Jiang Liu..."

"Go to sleep, you have to rest." For the first time, Jiang Liu took the initiative to hang up Ji Yu's call.He looked at the ceiling above his head, and his heart ached.Not because of being rejected for myself, but because of Ji Yu's entanglement and depression.

Another month of silence followed, and Ji Yu still didn't know how to reconcile Jiang Liu's tolerance with his own cowardice. In order to escape, he severed contact with Jiang Liu again.He felt like a murderer who stabbed Jiang Liu with a dagger. Warm blood spurted from Jiang Liu's chest, splashed all over his body and face, and made him collapse and go crazy with fright, but that man But resisting the pain and the passing of life, he kept comforting himself, 'It's okay, don't be afraid'.

Just like Ji Yu's retreat, Jiang Liu didn't dare to contact Ji Yu anymore. He was afraid of knowing Ji Yu's decision, and also worried that the long-term unrelieved longing would add unnecessary pressure to him invisibly. The policeman who sent his beloved to prison saw him struggling in the cage, but could only take out the verdict and sign his name on it.

Until one day a month later, when Ji Yu was sitting in the office signing documents, his cell phone vibrated, and Qin Yu's name was displayed on it.

"Hello?" Ji Yu was busy with work and picked up his mobile phone to connect, without even looking at the caller ID.

"Senior? Did you know something happened in England?" Qin Yu's voice was anxious, completely losing his usual calm.

The signed pen paused, and Ji Yu frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Yu took a deep breath, "It seems that you don't know anymore, Mr. Jiang was exposed as gay..."

"What did you say?" A long mark was drawn on the document in front of Ji Yu, almost tearing the paper, "Who did it?"

"It's not clear yet, but it's definitely not the person who sent me the email last time." Qin Yu explained: "After the news came out, I received another email in my mailbox, which said goodjob, and said that I don't have to worry about being found out. , he will cover for me."

After listening to Qin Yu's words, Ji Yu was full of doubts, how could so many people know about Jiang Liu's sexual orientation?He clearly remembered that Jiang Liu said that before he met him, he always thought he was straight.Why did the insiders suddenly pop up like mushrooms after a spring rain? "I see, thanks for letting me know."

After hanging up Qin Yu's phone, Ji Yu dialed Jiang Liu's number without thinking about it.

The busy audio in the receiver was like a drumstick hitting his heart, making Ji Yu's heart tighten more and more, almost suffocating.But a few minutes passed, and he still didn't get a response from Jiang Liu—the phone wasn't connected.He guessed that if something like this happened, even the United Kingdom, which has passed the gay marriage bill, still needs a lot of public relations work. At this moment, Jiang Liu was probably either having a meeting in the conference room or being called to the ancestral house by Grandpa Donald to give a lecture.

In fact, Ji Yu almost guessed right, Jiang Liu was indeed in the ancestral house, and he was sitting face to face with Grandpa Donald playing chess.There was no reprimand, no quarrel, on the contrary, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the expressions of the two even had smiles from time to time.

"Are you planning to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots!" The old man picked up the elephant and moved it a few squares, "But this method is not the best strategy."

The queen beheaded the elephant, Jiang Liu put her fingers back on the armrest of the sofa and tapped lightly, "What is the best strategy?"

Grandpa Donald narrowed his eyes, and didn't answer the question directly, "Killing one thousand enemies will cost you eight hundred. It's not a good strategy."

"What did I lose?" Jiang Liu smiled and cleared Grandpa's other bishop from the chessboard. "Grandpa, if you're talking about me making my sexuality public, I don't think it's a loss."

"It doesn't count? You think too much of the public's acceptance! If you have laid the groundwork in the early stage, maybe it will not be like this now, but you know how sudden this time is much better than me. The pressure of public opinion you will bear is immeasurable! "Grandpa Donald's tone was serious and indignant, his car was already approaching Jiang Liu's king, and the 'general' was close at hand.

"Stalemate, Grandpa, you lost." Jiang Liu moved his finger, and Grandpa Donald's king had nowhere to go, and was trapped in a corner forcibly.He relaxed his body and picked up the black tea and took a sip. His tone was full of confidence, and he glanced at the pile of black chess pieces eaten by his grandfather, "Grandpa, it seems that I have lost a lot, but I'm sure I will Got something in return. One that was worth everything I would have given in exchange for."

Grandpa Donald leaned back in his chair and looked deeply, "William, you are gambling."

"Yes." Jiang Liu admitted readily.

"You have to know, you are betting on yourself!" Grandpa Donald continued to remind, "Are you sure you will win?"

"I'm not sure." Jiang Liu raised his head and looked at Grandpa, with the corners of his mouth raised, "But I seem to have made a successful start." He took out the mobile phone that had been on mute from his arms, lit the screen and flashed it in front of Grandpa Donald .

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. "As expected of my grandson!"

After drinking a cup of blood-colored tea, Jiang Liu got up and left. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and everything was said in silence.

The heavy door was gently closed by Jiang Liu, and the sound from the lock was crisp and weak, but the footsteps of leather shoes on the floor later revealed that the person who closed the door was far less calm than he appeared. busy.Grandpa Donald's eyes moved, and his deep laughter echoed in the study, causing Mr. Housekeeper to hear it from afar and had to speed up to deliver pastries to the room.

Playing chess pays attention to state of mind, and every state of mind will be expressed on the chessboard through your tactics and thinking.Jiang Liu has been calm and deep since he was a child. He is smart and forbearing. If he keeps his face, his opponent will easily fall into the trap he prepared.He is very patient, and the layout of each step is carefully arranged and carefully arranged. He will break down the things that can be solved in ten steps into twenty or thirty steps, and randomly arrange them at different times and at different intervals, making it hard to guard against.This is also the reason why Grandpa Donald chose Jiang Liu in the first place. There is nothing scarier than a patient predator, especially when the predator has a charming face.

But in the game of chess just now, Jiang Liu changed his style and became extremely aggressive when he was not fully set up in the middle of the game.Almost gave up the entire first half of the tactics, starting from zero or even negative, and forced himself to admit defeat with lightning speed.Grandpa Donald had never seen Jiang Liu like this before.

He thought that what made Jiang Liu change so drastically should be the missed call.

The old man stood up slowly, went to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of red wine, looked at the photo with his wife in the photo, raised his glass and drank it with a smile.

Who hasn't been young, don't you think?

Knowing son Mo Ruofu, even though he is a grandfather, he has assumed the responsibility of being the father in Jiang Liu's life.Grandpa Donald's conjecture was [-]% correct.Jiang Liu hurriedly went to the piano room alone. He came here a lot recently. Sometimes he drove the car to the ancestral house and went straight to the piano room without going home after working overtime.It seemed that only here could relieve his uneasy mood a little.

The missed call on the screen of the mobile phone made his heart flutter, and made him flustered even more.The feeling of playing tricks on the beloved in his heart turned out to be a guilty conscience, Jiang Liu suddenly felt that 'cheating' was really a bad behavior.

He smiled wryly and pressed the number to unlock his phone, opened the photo album and looked at Ji Yu's photos over and over again, praying in his heart that if one day he learned the truth, he would not be too angry with himself.

Looking at Ji Yu's smiling face, the quiet atmosphere was completely destroyed by a string of phone numbers that suddenly appeared on the screen.Jiang Liu didn't save this person's phone number, but he guessed who the person on the other end of the phone was at a glance.

"Hey, who is it?" Jiang Liu's voice was as cold as ice and snow, which made people shiver.

But the other party was not affected, and he didn't follow the normal direction at all. His voice was urgent and his tone was concerned. "William! Thank goodness you finally answered the phone! How are you doing and what are you going to do with the news? I can help you if need be! You know, I'm a lot more mediocre than you, but I've had some contacts in the media over the years Resourceful! Maybe, they will suppress this matter for my sake!"

Frowning and listening to his words, Jiang Liu was almost disgusted by Sebastian's hypocrisy. "No need."

"Oh, I knew you would make the right choice! I'm going to call my friend right now, I'm sure...wait!" Sebastian was talking excitedly, and suddenly realized that what he had just heard was not true. Not a promise, but, "No need? William, you say no?"

Jiang Liu repeated it irritably, "Yes, I said no need. I think your hearing and call signals should be very normal. I don't want to repeat it a third time."

Sebastian was completely at a loss for Jiang Liu who didn't follow the routine, "But, these news are not positive! Aren't you afraid of more serious consequences for you and Donald?"

"It's a fact, and it will be made public one day, so why suppress it." Jiang Liu changed the subject, "Or do you think homosexuals deserve to be invisible?"

"No! Of course not!" Jiang Liu's words were aimed at the steel awl that was aimed straight at Sebas's heart. He loves Jiang Liu, and he is gay, and now Jiang Liu suppresses the hat of contempt for homosexuals. On his head, simply don't embarrass him too much. "I really didn't mean that. Please believe me on this point no matter what! I'm worried about you... Yes, I'm worried that your future inheritance will be affected!"

Jiang Liu sneered, the more anxious he was to explain, the more he refused to listen. When dealing with people like Sebastian, Jiang Liu adhered to the principle that he would do whatever he wanted. "Is it like this? You know it in your heart and explain to me. If it's okay, I'll hang up. Don't call me because of such boring things. I'm very busy."

"William! William!"

After the voice on the other end of the phone was cut off by a button, Jiang Liu looked at the photo again and returned to a peaceful expression.This month, Jiang Liu's life was much more tiring than Ji Yu imagined, not only the daily affairs that need to be dealt with in the company, but just after the new year, he also needs to make deployment and mobilization for the new year, and the workload will only increase. No reduction.After finally being free, he thought he could have a good meal, and his subordinates made long and short returns and progress for Sebastian's affairs.

Although he did not personally do the specific matters, the choices he had to make required him to think alone.In the blink of an eye, Jiang Liu lost more than ten catties, her cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and her lips were a little dry and flaky. It really seemed that her physical health was affected by the pressure of public opinion.

Jiang Liu looked at the protruding blood vessels on his hands and muttered to himself. She had poor sleep quality. During this period of time, it was a luxury to be able to sleep for four hours every day. Sometimes she even fell into a deep sleep before she had time to sort out her memories. Regular work and rest makes it difficult for people not to get sick.

He picked up his mobile phone and called his secretary: "Hey, it's me. Tell the public relations department, let me know when you have an appointment with the media, and go straight to the press conference. You don't need to prepare too much, I can handle it."

The crowd in the venue was a dense mass, like dark clouds in the sky, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed that sparks would burst out with one blow.The reporters were wearing black suit jackets, some were adjusting the same black cameras in their hands, and some were writing quickly on their unfolded laptops.Everyone's strings are tense, and they just wait for someone to appear before they take up the short cannon and shoot at the target.

The staff coming and going in Jiang Liu's lounge were reporting to him in real time the company's operations and the direction of reports from various online media, and the stock price fluctuations were monitored on the computer screen at his hand.When he heard someone talking to him, he didn't move his eyes, just nodded slightly, or talked about his next decision.

Compared with when she received Ji Yu's phone call, Jiang Liu was thinner, her pair of deep eyes were now completely blocked by the shadow of her brow bone, and there were already two deep shadows on her cheeks without any need for makeup. Lips looked so pale that they might fall down at any moment.In fact, less than 72 hours had passed since that call.

"Do you want to eat something first? The press conference is about to start..." The secretary walked up to Jiang Liu with a sandwich and asked. After three consecutive days of meetings, the boss persisted almost without sleep.If you don't take in more calories, if you really fall down at the press conference, it will be another headline.

Jiang Liu turned his head and glanced at the sandwich, and finally shook his head, "No, pour me a cup of hot coffee." Dealing with reporters is a very mind-consuming task, and he doesn't want someone who needs a lot of blood supply to the brain At the same time, the body puts the main energy on digesting food.

The secretary was very embarrassed, "Then, shall I add more milk and sugar for you?"

"it is good."

Just after drinking a little while holding the hot coffee, the staff at the venue sent a notice to prepare to enter the venue.Jiang Liu stood up and put on the suit jacket with the help of the secretary, and walked outside after letting out a sigh of relief.

The master of ceremonies did not talk nonsense, and only gave a brief introduction. As soon as the agreed time came, Jiang Liu appeared at the entrance of the passageway, facing the strong flashes of the reporters, he did not avoid or dodge, his eyes were as firm as every time he stood on the stage to give a speech Donald's fresh move.

Standing in the center, Jiang Liu bowed calmly, then unbuttoned his suit and sat down, like a real nobleman.At this time, everyone could clearly see that the once handsome and handsome young leader had such a haggard face. Although his appearance and temperament did not change much, the pressure he had endured these days was clearly visible.This is not a show of weakness, or even a show of weakness, which made this group of reporters and ordinary audience feel soft at the same time, wondering if they should continue to ask questions.

Jiang Liu glanced lightly, and the master of ceremonies opened his mouth knowingly to announce the official start of the press conference.

"Mr. Donald, may I ask if the news that you are a homosexual is true?" A reporter unceremoniously went straight to Huanglong. After all, this is the issue everyone is most concerned about.

"For now, it's true." Jiang Liu's voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that it was caused by not having a good rest.

The reporter was not satisfied with Jiang Liu's answer, "Currently? Please explain in detail."

Jiang Liu nodded, "The current meaning is that until half a year ago, I never doubted my sexual orientation, and the object of my current crush is indeed a man. According to this standard, I am indeed gay at present. But in essence , if he was a woman, I would also fall in love with him. If you want to define me as gay because of this, I have no objection."

In just a few words, Jiang Liu expressed his attitude and position, and also explained the cause and effect of the matter.His expression and tone are extremely soothing, and he doesn't seem to be affected by the pressure of public opinion.

Another reporter stood up, "Mr. Donald, from what you've said, I think I think you're closer to bisexual, what do you think?"

"Gender doesn't matter, there is only one person I love. Do you understand?" Jiang Liu did not object to the reporter's statement, but continued to explain her situation and feelings.

"Mr. Donald, what you said doesn't sound sincere! Your love for your current object may not last your whole life. If you change someone in the future, will you also change your sexual orientation along with it!" The reporter was not polite at all, and the arc of gloating on his lips made people angry.

Jiang Liu waved her hands indifferently, her demeanor remained unchanged, her deep and hoarse voice seemed to be reciting an affectionate poem. "Maybe some people will fall in love with many people in their lifetime, but my heart is very small. There are very few people who can go in, and there is only one person who has gone so deep. Although I am still young, the length of a person's life is not the same. Whether I am young or not, maybe I can live to be seventy or eighty, maybe tomorrow I will encounter unexpected disasters. But I am absolutely sure that I will not meet another him, and even if I do, it will not be him."

"Anyone can say an oath, and they are sincere when they say it. No one knows what will happen! Even if you say in front of everyone here that you will never marry others in your life, when you do get married, no one can stop you .” The reporter’s words were pungent, almost scaring the master of ceremonies into a cold sweat.He was holding up the microphone to stop it, but Jiang Liu raised his hand in his direction and pressed down gently.

"Indeed, what you said is the truth." Jiang Liu's mentality was stable, and he was ready to be questioned since he decided to hold a press conference. "Only the future will know how the future develops, but how I change is in my own hands. It doesn't matter to me if you don't believe me or everyone in this world doesn't believe me. Because the person I want to make the promise is not you. Of course, even if you force me now, I will not make such an oath."

His deep eyes blinked, and the moment the camera focused, his determination shone like a diamond. "It's not because I don't dare, it's because I don't want to put too much pressure on the other party. He shouldn't be involved by me, and I hope everyone will not delve into his identity. Thank you."

Another reporter stood up, "So, you are not with your lover right now?"

"Yes." Jiang Liu didn't want the reporters to focus on Ji Yu, and then changed the subject calmly, "There are very few people who know about this matter, as I said, even I only found out about it recently I never thought that this matter would have a serious impact on Donald. After all, the UK is an extremely open country, the British society is also an extremely tolerant society, and the British people are extremely fair people. The acceptance rate was very high. However, I really did something wrong for not reporting this in a timely manner."

Just like what Jiang Liu said, it wasn't an unreasonable thing in the first place. The parties involved apologized, and the reporters couldn't continue to criticize. In the end, Jiang Liu was indeed right.Sexual orientation is a private matter, even if he is 'high and powerful', there is no requirement to come out publicly.

They are all human beings, and the reporters instantly locked their focus on Donald's handling plan and future development of this matter.Jiang Liu is a person who does everything. It is rare for him to be in a weak situation. Now he can get 100% information that is usually difficult to touch by asking questions.

A press conference lasted three hours, and when Jiang Liu left after the end, everyone almost forgot that they came here for the news about his sexual orientation, holding a lot of freshly released materials that are likely to affect the future trends of the economic market, Everyone has a satisfied expression.

The so-called win-win, the so-called crisis is like an opportunity.
