Undying Body

"Why did you come?" Chang Sheng hurriedly welcomed him into the room: "Sit down, what do you want to drink?"

Dr. Chen walked into the room, and he looked around: "The place is very clean, you did a good job." He closed the door and smiled again: "Actually, I have seen this house many times from the outside, and today it is finally clean. walked in."

Chang Sheng couldn't figure out the meaning of his words, so he could only say, "Have you seen it outside? Then it's time to come and have a look."

As he said, he went to get some tea leaves to make tea, but Dr. Chen stopped him: "I'm not busy, I just want to say something."

"It's okay, the ones who come are the guests." Chang Sheng found a ceramic cup, put some tea leaves brought by Xiaoxia's hometown, poured the boiling water into the tea, boiled the tea leaves, brewed them again, and held them in front of the sofa where Dr. Chen was sitting.

Dr. Chen was looking at the TV screen, which was broadcasting a time-travel drama, which was very popular recently, he smiled: "Do you like watching this?"

"Boring, pass the time." Chang Sheng sat down next to him with some trepidation: "If you want to watch something else, it doesn't matter if you change the channel."

Doctor Chen asked with a smile, "Where did the young master go?"

"He went to a party and won't be back for a while, what's your business..."

"I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for you."

Chang Sheng smiled awkwardly: "Looking for me?"

Dr. Chen asked directly: "I heard that you were injured a few months ago?"

Chang Sheng froze for a moment, then nodded.

"I also heard what the young master said, and then I went to find out the situation. You were hit by a car to save the young master, right?" Doctor Chen looked at him meaningfully: "A few years ago, the young master was kidnapped. That time, you blocked the knife for the young master, I remember correctly."

"...Yes." Chang Sheng nodded hesitantly, he didn't know what he wanted to say.

"You are very loyal to the young master, I can see it, and Mr. Du has also seen it before, but everything must be moderate. You are willing to follow the young master to take care of him when he leaves home. Mr. Du is very grateful to you, but he is not I hope that the young master will take the wrong path in life because of this," Doctor Chen looked at him: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Chang Sheng felt vaguely uneasy, his fingers were closed in front of him, and they were tightly clenched.

"The young master is still young. I remember that the young master was only 13 years old when you came to Du's house, and he is not yet eighteen. He is ignorant at this age and lacks the love of a father and a mother. It is easy to misunderstand some emotions. Who treats him When I got better, I was moved, thinking that I should give something back, but I don’t know what my true thoughts are, and I don’t know what I want. He has not yet formed at this age, no matter it is the world view,” Dr. Chen stopped After a while, he said directly: "It's still sexual orientation."

Chang Sheng lowered his eyes, he understood what he meant, he shook his head: "I won't delay the young master..."

Dr. Chen interrupted him: "It's not about you delaying him. I've been there too, and I can't help it. But when Mr. Du was alive, the young master was the one who worried me the most. He had repeatedly told me not to let the young master If you go the wrong way, you can understand what he means."

Chang Sheng nodded gently: "I understand."

Dr. Chen suddenly smiled: "Besides, you are not an ordinary person."

Chang Sheng raised his head abruptly, his eyes obviously began to dodge.

Dr. Chen had a half-smile: "You were injured a few months ago and had an operation. Is the incision still there?"

Chang Sheng subconsciously covered his abdomen, and he trembled a little. Doctor Chen said, "Don't panic, as long as you cooperate, I will not reveal your secret to the public, nor will I make you a research object for the world." He said, He took out a large envelope from the briefcase he was carrying with him: "I'm not going to be a secret, I'm going to say something straight, here are some of my research materials, do you want to read it yourself or I will tell you the results directly?"

Chang Sheng couldn't speak, he just felt weak all over, and his deepest secret was exposed in public.

"The development of modern medicine should exceed your imagination. For example, one can judge a person's age from bones and teeth. In fact, it can also be inferred from blood and tissue sections. Of course, this is not accurate at all, but I don't need the results either. How accurate is the answer for more than 100 years," Dr. Chen slowly pulled out the paper from the envelope: "How old are you?"

Chang Sheng stared blankly at the paper in his hand, feeling scared.

"It seems that you are in your early 30s, but the result of my experiment is that your body is more than a hundred years old. Why? Did I make a mistake in my research?" Dr. Chen spread out the paper: "So I have A bold hypothesis." He stopped talking, looked up at Chang Sheng: "You are not a normal person."

He didn't wait for Chang Sheng to answer, and continued: "I am a rational scientific researcher, and I believe that the results of science are more than anything else. A few years ago, you blocked a knife for the young master. The knife wound ran from front to back, but the heart in the middle was not injured. In fact, it is not avoiding the heart, but the heart has healed itself. This is not a miracle, but your special constitution. I analyzed your cell structure and it looks the same as ordinary people, but the metabolism is at an extremely low level, almost It is stagnant, so I did an experiment, very simple, using a virus to invade the tissue, at this time, the metabolism of the tissue suddenly speeds up, the cell division speeds up, and the virus is quickly eliminated. Without any external antibiotics, this speed is too fast. Amazing."

There were too many unfamiliar words in what he said, and Chang Sheng couldn't fully understand him. He didn't refute. In fact, he wouldn't refute anything he said now, because he just felt scared now.

If the young master is by your side...

Dr. Chen looked at the open research report: "I don't think the scar from your knife wound will remain. If you want to refute, please show me the fatal scar. I take back all the remarks I just made. .”

"No need." Chang Sheng finally spoke with difficulty.

"Similarly, you were hit by a car this time. I went to the hospital to investigate. The doctor said that you had no internal bleeding, so he speculated that you were not seriously injured. This is entirely a doctor's inference, not me as a researcher. The young master was an eyewitness to the car accident. He told me that the collision was so severe that it was impossible not to rupture the internal organs. I believe the young master’s judgment on this matter. My conclusion is the same as before. Your internal organs began to rupture and bleed, but Self-healing, similarly, the surgical wound will not remain, because you have a very strong body repairing ability." Dr. Chen retracted his gaze, and he raised his head: "You are a person who will not die."

His mouth moves slowly and firmly, like 600 years ago, they said:

He's not normal, his parents are old, he's not, his siblings are old, he's not, his wife is old, he's not, his son is old, he's not, they're all dead, he's not .

They once caught him, said he was possessed by a monster, the fire was burning from under his feet, the fire was burning, and through the red flame he saw the malicious eyes of his fellows, they really wanted him dead, they said he destroyed Chang's family's blessing, he must die, in the name of Dayi.

After the fire burned for a long time, they walked away, thinking that the monster was wiped out.

It was raining, the fire was extinguished, but he was still alive. The pain from the burns all over his body made him scream uncontrollably. No one helped him. He was alone in the open field. Desperate and miserable.

He thought he was going to die, but he didn't.

On the day his wife passed away, he kept his promise when he was newlyweds. He would die in the same year, the same month, and the same day as her. It was snowing and the lake was covered with thick ice. Frozen again, he slammed on the ice desperately, his hands were bleeding, he was so cold that he couldn't feel it, only the persistent thought that he must die with her.

He jumped into the cold water of the lake and sank, thinking he would die.

But no, the water was gentle when he woke up, I don't know how many years later.

He is a monster, a person who cannot die.

He used to not want to live, didn't want to be discovered, he lived in seclusion for many, many years, he used to imagine a mountain, a river, a stone, just as a monotonous background, didn't want to be noticed, didn't want to be warmed by people, but now, it's different .

He is in love with someone.

He wants to be with him, and is willing to accept the heartache and loneliness that will continue for hundreds of thousands of years after the death of that person.

But even so, he couldn't do it.

Doctor Chen coughed: "Chang Sheng?"

Chang Sheng regained consciousness, he found his body trembling unconsciously.

"Don't be afraid, I won't publish my research results, I won't let you become a research object, I said this just for your admission," Dr. Chen smiled gently: "You are different from the young master, no, You are different from all of us."

Chang Sheng reluctantly nodded: "I know."

"There is only one copy of this document, and I can destroy it right now in front of you." Dr. Chen took out a lighter and put it on a clean white paper: "There is only one condition."

Chang Sheng mustered up all his courage, and he looked at the man beside him beggingly: "I don't want...to leave..."

"You like the young master?"

No, much more than likes.

"Then you should leave even more," Dr. Chen folded the paper, "You were married before, shouldn't the young master stop getting married? He hasn't arrived yet. Has his life been planned by you?"

Chang Sheng clenched his hands, and he lowered his head.

"The young master should have a normal life. He still has a family business to inherit, and a bright future ahead. He will have a really suitable girlfriend who can be with him, get married, have children, and live a stable and normal life. Life, what is there for him to be with you, happy for two years and then regret for life?" Chen shook his head: "His life is probably an insignificant part to you, an immortal person, but to him, an ordinary person. , that’s all.”

The wall clock on the wall suddenly rang, struck ten times, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Chang Sheng only felt that the bell was knocking on his heart, making him bleed every time he hit it.

"I've told you about the pros and cons. Having said that, whether you help the young master block a knife or crash a car, it's all because of your special physique. If you were vulnerable to injury and died like an ordinary person, would you still do it?"

I will.

But he couldn't say anything.

"So in fact, you don't have as much affection for the young master as you think." Dr. Chen looked at Chang Sheng's bowed head, even though he felt that his words were aggressive, even if he felt that this man was so pitiful and humble, he continued to say Go on: "The young master is a likable child, he should have a normal life, if you really treat him well, you might as well leave a good memory, so that he can still remember that a servant treated him well after you left." Well, if you’re bored—” He pointed to the TV: “Just like you’re bored watching TV—if you’re just having fun, leave the young master’s side right away, otherwise I believe all research institutes in the world will be happy to study An immortal."

"I..." Chang Sheng raised his head slowly: "I think... after a while..."

He still has a long life with no end in sight, can you give him a few more months.

Chen stared at him: "How long?"

"Just a few more months." If he suddenly leaves now, the young master will look for him everywhere, and that child will be alone... He said in a low voice: "Please, give me another month or two." ……Please……"

Dr. Chen thought about it for a while, then nodded hesitantly.

"...Thank you." He said softly, "I will go."

"Don't come back." Dr. Chen picked up the cup in front of him, and he took a sip, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere: "The tea you made is very good."

"I won't... come back..." he repeated, muttering.

Dr. Chen sighed, and he put away the envelope: "I'll keep this document first, and it will be destroyed in front of you at that time, please rest assured, I will not let you leave for nothing, I will give you a sum of money, at least Guarantee your short-term life."

Chang Sheng nodded: "Okay."

Dr. Chen suspected that he didn't hear what he was saying at all, and he looked like he was lost.

But he felt that what he did was not wrong. He followed the idea of ​​the young master's father. The young master's father was the one who loved the young master the most. No father in the world would harm his son.

Du Shaoyan chatted with the smoky-eyed woman all night, and finally took her car home. The woman kept sending him to the gate of the community: "This is the first time Miss Ben sent a man."

"This is the first time this young master has been sent by a woman!"

"Ha, I want to celebrate such a precious first time, when are you free to go out for a drink?"

"at any time."

"Oh no! You are underage!"

"...Don't emphasize this matter," Du Shaoyan had a crush on this woman, and after jumping out of the car, he turned around and said, "Okay, see you, Sister Feng!"

Feng Jiaren waved to him: "Goodbye! Little handsome guy!" After speaking, he drove away.

Du Shaoyan ran into the community in a few steps, rushed upstairs and opened the door: "I'm back! Miss me?"

Chang Sheng was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when he saw him coming back, he raised his head as usual: "I'm back."

"It's so cold outside." Du Shaoyan rushed over: "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me, it's already twelve o'clock." He turned back to watch TV: "It's so boring that you stay up so late and still watch TV shopping. Bar."

"It's showing TV shopping..." Chang Sheng seemed to be talking to himself.

"Aren't you watching TV?" Du Shaoyan leaned on the sofa and habitually put his legs on Chang Sheng's: "Is it because you are restless when I am not here? Don't think about me like this, it makes me feel so stressed .”

Chang Sheng didn't deny it like before, he turned his head: "Are you hungry? It's so late, do you want to eat supper?"

"I'm not hungry, I just came back from dinner," Du Shaoyan said, pointing fingers: "I met a woman with a very personal character today, who is as bold as a buddy, and she is actually the only daughter of Professor Feng, who is well-known in the pharmaceutical industry." A great expert and authority, do you know what kind of occupation that woman is, she is so cool..."

He talked endlessly, but Chang Sheng smiled lightly: "Would you like some tea, you smell of alcohol."

"Is there any?" Du Shaoyan sniffed his sleeve: "I only drank a little, if you don't like it, I'll take a shower now."

"It's okay." Chang Sheng smiled at him: "I'll make you tea." He stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Du Shaoyan said behind him: "Hey, you are so polite today."

Chang Sheng didn't answer him, he poured water into the purple sand cup in the kitchen, it was January day, but he couldn't feel the chill of the water at all, his hands trembled slightly, like a frozen heart.
