third relationship

It wasn't until Shen Qi woke up the next day that he thought of calling Cheng Wang to report his safety.On the other end of the phone, Cheng Wang's voice sounded a little neutral: "It's good that you're fine. When will you be back?"

"These few days." Shen Qi replied, "How is the company doing now?"

"People in the company can't make trouble now, so it's okay if you want to stay outside for a while." Cheng Wang seemed to be smiling, and his tone was always faintly weird, "The most important thing is that you are happy."

Shen Qi always felt that there was something in Cheng Wang's words, but out of trust in his younger brother, he didn't doubt anything: "Then you'll be busy for a while, pay attention to your body, and rest early."

"it is good."

Shen Qi hung up the phone, turned around and saw Li Rong beside him with a half-smile.The man's naked/naked body was pressed against Shen Qi's, and his tongue sprayed warm breath on his cheeks: "You said 'how busy for a while', do you plan to stay with me for a few days?"

"It's up to you." Shen Qi reached out and grabbed the corner of Li Rong's pillow, and the faces of the two of them got closer again, "I think it is very necessary for us to continue our 17-year-delayed graduation trip."

"Go to America?" Li Rong raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, how about a road trip around California? I'll plan it, you'll pay for it."

"The abacus is really loud."

"That's also because you are willing to suffer."

Li Rong did not deny it.He smiled lowly, lowered his head and kissed Shen Qi's lips.Shen Qi didn't resist, he raised his head and kissed back.They have been strangers for too long, and they are no longer familiar with the habits of lovers.They both need time to regain the tacit understanding they once had, and physical intimate contact is undoubtedly the fastest way.

The lingering was interrupted by an untimely ringing of a bell.Shen Qi was about to scold secretly, but when it was Shen Qiao who called, he decided to scold publicly.He stretched out his hand and scratched the answer button, regardless of Li Rong was still at the side, and greeted Shen Qiao directly without saying hello: "What's your intention to call when people don't want to be disturbed by outsiders?"

"If I hadn't called your boyfriend, would you stay at home alone in the vacant room, or would you face Nie Lijun's old face?" Shen Qiao said coolly.

"Then do you want me to call your ex-boyfriend privately, and try to let you live a life with a boyfriend?" Shen Qi raised his eyebrows.

"roll!"

The two quarreled for a few more words before finally getting down to business: "What do you plan to do in the future?" Shen Qiao asked, "How to explain to your brother, how to deal with the cooperation between companies, and the celebrity circle in Hong Kong?"

"Ah Wang doesn't care who I'm in a relationship with, he only cares about whether I'm happy or not." Shen Qi said lazily, "I can do whatever I want with work, as for others..." His eyes wavered slightly, Some people looked at Li Rong as if they were protesting, "As long as those responsible are willing to take responsibility, what do I care about them?"

He was obviously asking Li Rong to submit a certificate.Shen Qiao tactfully interfaced: "That's right, the person who should be responsible should be responsible. If I'm not responsible, is there any need for me to discuss with you my previous suggestion, hire a killer to eunuch the adulterer, stab the adulterer, and then destroy the corpse?"

"You don't need to discuss it, just do it directly. But you must be responsible for the after-sales service of my order, and ensure that the adulterer can lie on my bed for a lifetime and be taken care of by me."

"Can you have the patience to take care of it yourself? Do you want me to even find a senior nurse for you, so that you don't have to fuck the eunuch's heart on the dragon bed every day?" Shen Qiao sneered.

Shen Qi nodded clearly: "That's exactly what I mean."

When the two sang together, they were very happy, just like Li Rong's cross talk at the Spring Festival Gala that he watched in his brain at the beginning of the year.He couldn't listen anymore, he reached out and grabbed Shen Qi's cell phone and pressed the off button: "Did he really advise you?"

"Really." Shen Qi nodded earnestly, "This is the general way people in our underworld deal with love debts."

"That is to say, I have no chance of cheating in the future?"

"Of course." Shen Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, "You have to remember Mr. Li Rong, I thought I was unrequited love before, so I didn't ask you to be loyal in any aspect of body and mind, even if I was angry with you, I would sneak away with self-knowledge Hospital." He pressed Li Rong under his body, narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and the movement in his eyes was particularly moving, "But now you are on the bed, you are a white form, I am your seal now The only love in my 36-year life that I have admitted, so please show the minimum self-consciousness, and use methods including but not limited to direct and indirect verbal rejection to prevent the possibility of new and old loves other than me provoking you, to ensure that in my ears, you will not There will be any gossip about you catching Fengying, otherwise..." He raised his jaw slightly, "I don't like to make troubles when I'm old, but I can guarantee that our alumni of St. Recalling the scene when I was jealous, and lamented that it was different after being in the underworld for more than ten years, and the level of revenge rose to a cubic level."

"I understand." Li Rong nodded earnestly, "Then do I have the right to ask you to make the same guarantee, and suspect that your friend who is too close to you to cause misunderstandings will poach someone?"

"Don't worry." Shen Qi opened his innocent eyes, "If we really have sex, Shen Qiao must be under me, you can't compete --- of course you must be his competitor and just do it now."

He is currently being pinned down by Shen Qi and cannot move. Shen Qi's hand is not weak, and Li Rong really won't be able to push back in a while.He simply didn't waste his efforts, and directly handed in the voting certificate: "I won't be jealous of him. Whoever you play well with is your freedom. You can interfere with me, but I will not interfere with you."

Li Rong really wasn't jealous of Shen Qiao: Shen Qiao contributed to his right to be jealous now, not to mention that perhaps even Shen Qi himself didn't realize the unconscious ease when he and Shen Qiao were together.Li Rong once misunderstood because of this, but now he is only glad that there is such a famous person as Shen Qiao in the world.

It's too difficult to meet someone who lets you let go of your defenses, and love sometimes means heaviness.Shen Qi had lived too tired these years, he didn't want to make him continue to be unhappy because of his own reasons, after all Shen Qiao could give Shen Qi what he couldn't.

As for Shen Qi's own thoughts, that was his business.He is willing to ask for everything for him, so how can he be unhappy?

Shen Qi's ears were reddish, obviously coaxed.He turned over, kicked Li Rong sideways, and lazily said: "I prefer practical actions to sweet words, do you understand the meaning, Mr. Li Rong?"

"Of course I understand." Li Rong also turned sideways, resting his chin on the top of Shen Qi's hair: "It's all up to you."

"Are you still doing experiments, Xiao Zhou?"

In the research institute, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses passed by the laboratory, and curiously asked the young man in the white coat of a chemical worker.Zhou Zhuoran raised his head from the instrument, his face wearing a mask and glasses showed no expression: "There are still 4 minutes, I will go back after I finish writing the experiment report, Senior Zhong Yan."

"Oh, then I'll go home first, you remember to ask the cleaner to put the equipment back."

"I let them get off work first, and I can arrange the equipment myself."

Zhong Yan nodded, with undisguised love and appreciation in his eyes.Hong Kong's research institute system is not as perfect as that of the United States, and the cost of living is also high. Even the treatment conditions in the top chemical research institute funded by Shen Qi cannot compare with that of the United States.He and Zhou Zhuoran are the only related personnel from the American Institute of Maternity Research who came to Hong Kong. He left the United States because of his narrow professional focus and his age. He could not find a next home in the United States.No one expected Zhou Zhuoran to stay back then.

He was Dr. Cheng Ji's favorite student and a top student at Harvard. He was only 27 years old when Cheng Ji died, and his future was boundless.Back then Harvard kept him and the American Academy of Sciences extended an olive branch to him, but he chose to come to Hong Kong with the Institute, which is not surprising.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Zhong Yan asked him why he stayed. Zhou Zhuoran’s answer was that he didn’t want to see Cheng Ji’s hard work being used by others, but he had no choice but to ignore it. He had no choice but to do anything for Cheng Ji. Came to Hong Kong to complete his unfinished research.

Zhong Yan still remembers the look in Zhou Zhuoran's eyes at that time, the handsome and gentle young man put down his pen, the sadness and guilt in his eyes were full of substance.Now there are too few children who care about their teacher's kindness and are even willing to delay their future because of this, so Zhong Yan's affection for him naturally grows stronger, and after a few visits, they seem to have forgotten their friendship: "Then go back early by yourself. Don't wear yourself out when you're young."

Zhong Yan closed the door, Zhou Zhuoran was the only one left in the laboratory.He wrote a few lines in his notebook, put on his gloves and began to tidy up the equipment. After a few minutes, he went to the locker room to take off his white coat and mask, and took out his cell phone.

He doesn't have many contacts, except for his colleagues, Cheng Wang is the only one.Cheng Wang sent him a text message at seven o'clock, and the words were as concise as ever: "I'm done. When will you be back?"

"Just got off work, about half an hour." He stretched out his hand and typed two lines.

Cheng Wang quickly replied, "Well, I'll wait for you to cook."

Zhou Zhuoran smiled slightly, and was about to tease him a few words.But before he had time to click on the message from the thumbnail box, an unfamiliar number called.He looked at the number, reached out and swiped the answer button: "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone was a middle-aged man with a lingering cold voice: "How are things going?"

"The core production technology of EG is controlled by Shen Qi himself. I haven't researched the substitution equation yet." Zhou Zhuoran replied, "However, I have already researched the specific number of protons, and the method can be reversed through experimental verification. It just takes time. .”

"I don't understand chemistry, you just need to tell me your progress." The man said coldly, "Can you give me the formula before December?"

"can."

"That's good." The man's tone seemed to be a little loose, "Where is Cheng Wang, how is he?"

"He believes in me." Zhou Zhuoran's voice trembled slightly, "Do you have to let him do it himself?"

"Definitely." The man's tone softened a bit, but the inner strength was still decisive, "If Shen Qi is the sole holder of EG, GH will try his best to protect him, and if we have the formula of EG or even an improved version , even if Shen Qiao still insists on supporting Shen Qi, the resources he can use are no better than before. If he doesn't do anything if he hits a snake and hits seven inches, how can Shen Qi be suspicious? Only Cheng Wang inherited the patent, so he won't do anything to Shen Qi Revenge by GH. Do you understand, Zoran?"

"Understood." Zhou Zhuoran paused, "I understand."

"Just understand." The man seemed to be smiling, "You seem to be more and more reluctant to do what I have asked you to do in the past few years, and you have asked more and more. Why, do you regret it?"

Zhou Zhuoran's heart tightened.

Whether he has regretted it in the past few years, he can't tell.He had given that key seven years ago, and had to make up for it with one lie after another, one betrayal after another to atone.But if he hadn't given that key, he might never be able to get close to the boy in the attic throughout his life, hoping that he would always be just an untouchable phantom, not a lover who gets along with him day and night.

The sins he has done and the blood he has been stained with over the years are all from the promises he made back then.But if he didn't agree, he must have nothing now.

"I have no regrets." He said lightly, "Never."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Wang's text message was still quietly lying in the prompt box.Zhou Zhuoran looked at the five words, but did not reply after all, locked the screen and put it in his pocket before leaving.
