Crossflow

After entering the third year of high school, everything seemed to be different.

The formerly amiable teachers collectively changed their sex overnight, and now one by one is more fierce than the other. They no longer condone those students who doze off in class, and once they see them, they will immediately sneak them to the back of the classroom and make them stand and wake up; the mantra has also changed. It has become "a hard school year, a happy life", Qian Ding Wanwan told the importance of the senior year, especially the first semester of the senior year.

But the most exaggerated among them is Feng Hui.

Probably because it was the first time she led the graduating class after teaching, Feng Hui was ready to fight. On the first morning of the official start of class, she carried a huge countdown card into the classroom, and then nailed it to the blackboard. The first thing Tang Wanxin did after arriving at school every morning was to update the numbers on the countdown board, and conspired with several other teachers to increase the workload, and stretched out her claws on minor subjects such as music and art.

Under the high-pressure policy, everyone complained and failed. Wang Yuan was overwhelmed by homework and had no time to play basketball. He urged Tao Fengche to join him in the uprising several times, but was brutally rejected by the latter.

——After all, for Tao Fengche, he didn't feel any big difference.

Sui Yuesheng was busy with work, and only sent him to school on the first day of school. After that, Tao Fengche still took the familiar Maybach S600PullmanGuard to and from school. After finishing homework, I went downstairs to exercise, and by the way, I made hot milk for Sui Yue.

If it happens that Sui Yuesheng is at home, he will go to say good night to the other party before going to bed. If he is not there, he will go back to his room to sleep, and take time to go to the shooting range to practice guns on weekends. His life is very regular.

...but there is still a difference.

Excluding the Qixi Festival when Sui Yuesheng was on a business trip, this is the first Kyushu traditional festival after Sui Yuesheng returned to China, and it is of great significance.What's more, even ten years ago, the two had never spent the Mid-Autumn Festival together—the day Sui Yuesheng came to Tao's house was a snowy night in early December, and he left after the second year of Waking of Insects.

It was also for this reason that Tao Fengche paid special attention to and looked forward to it.

He went around the kitchen more than a week in advance, finalized the flavors of the mooncakes with Chef Baian, and specifically ordered Xu Song to buy more flavors of egg yolks from the time-honored bakeries in Jingpu Su, and asked the servants to clean up the gazebo in the courtyard of the ancestral house, preparing to watch the moon with Yuesheng on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But when everything was ready and just waiting for the festival to come, things suddenly went wrong.

On the Saturday afternoon before the Mid-Autumn Festival, after Tao Fengche came out of the martial arts training ground, he stopped by his family's wine cellar for a walk.After counting the stored wine, he unexpectedly found that there was not much sweet-scented osmanthus wine in stock.

Tao Fengche didn't drink often, and only occasionally had a few drinks with his father when Tao Zhixing was in the mood, but it was just a taste and he was not greedy.

But Tao Zhixing loves wine, and his style is old-fashioned, and he pays attention to the seasons. Tao Fengche has been influenced by some influences - one of which is: the fragrance of golden osmanthus in September, which is suitable for sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Ever since Tao Zhixing passed away, Tao Fengche never held a wine glass again. He frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of which winery's sweet-scented osmanthus wine was sweeter and better to drink. He waited until he had dinner with Yuesheng. This question is still circling in his mind.

...Or let Uncle Xu order according to the usual practice, and taste it in advance when he buys it back.

Tao Fengche made a decision, lifted his head with relief, and chatted casually with Yuesheng about interesting things in school, the latter nodded while listening, but suddenly changed the topic after a while.

"The classmate you met on the basketball court two days ago is the Wang Yuan you mentioned just now, right?"

Tao Fengche's heart was full of alarm bells, he was not sure about Sui Yuesheng's intentions, so he nodded vigilantly.

—— Sui Yuesheng and Wang Yuan have nothing to do with each other at all, it has been more than a week, how can he still remember him?

"Uncle Xu mentioned him to me before, saying that you two have known each other since elementary school, and you have been on good terms for so many years?"

Tao Fengche nodded.

"I met his father during the meeting two days ago. He wanted to invite me to dinner. Do you want to go together?"

This is asking whether it is necessary to replace a business discussion with a more intimate family dinner.

"Wang Yuan is my childhood friend. His family is in business and has no business relationship with Dow. Uncle Wang invited you to dinner this time, probably not because he wants to talk about cooperation..." Tao Fengche spoke slowly, and finally smiled , "I don't care if I go or not, but Wang Yuan should really want to go."

Sui Yuesheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you say?"

"He is a dormitory student. He is locked up in the school. Recently, the teachers have been controlling him tightly. He said that he is about to vomit. He is looking forward to a chance to escape and get some air."

"Then after the monthly exam?"

"That's fine." Tao Fengche jokingly said, "If you really want to save him, you might as well choose the day when our monthly exam results are released, and maybe you can help him escape a beating."

Sui Yuesheng frowned, did not tease his friend with Tao Fengche, but kept this proposal in mind.

Now that they have already talked about Wang Yuan, Sui Yuesheng simply took this opportunity to tease Tao Fengche and talk about the past between him and Wang Yuan.Just when Tao Fengche was talking vividly about how he went to the cinema with Wang Yuan to experience life, and ended up watching a super bad movie, Sui Yuesheng's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Isn't today the weekend, why is it so late and someone is looking for you? Why don't people have a good meal." Tao Fengche stopped talking, curled his lips and complained, his tone was so intimate that he seemed to be acting like a spoiled child.

Sui Yuesheng liked this very much, but he was also a little helpless: "There is no way, this is how work works."

Tao Fengche was still full of dissatisfaction, so Sui Yuesheng had no choice but to stretch out his hand to smooth his hair: "I'll come back to accompany you for dinner after I answer the phone."

Tao Fengche reluctantly nodded, and then Sui Yuesheng pressed the answer button.

The voice of the person on the other end of the phone was not loud, and the speed of speech was very fast. Even Tao Fengche had a good hearing ability, so he couldn't hear what he was talking about for a while, and could only hear a few sporadic words vaguely. , and then watched Sui Yuesheng's face gradually become serious, his thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and then he stood up suddenly.

The heavy mahogany chair dragged on the floor with a sharp and piercing sound. Tao Fengche subconsciously clenched his chopsticks tightly, but Sui Yuesheng didn't even move his eyebrows, his face was full of sternness: "You take someone there, I'll almost there."

problem occurs.

Tao Fengche's heart trembled, and he had some bad premonition.

Things went as Tao Fengche expected, after Sui Yuesheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone, turned around and asked Xu Song to prepare the car, and then hurried upstairs.

When he came down the stairs again, he had already changed his clothes. There was no wrinkle on the ironed black suit, the cuff buttons and tie were the same color, and the emerald wrench on his right thumb was shining brightly, green It's almost eye-catching.

Sui Yuesheng in this appearance is very beautiful, but Tao Fengche looked at him, but felt that he had once again wrapped himself in a hard armor.

Tao Fengche no longer had the appetite to eat, he pushed away the chair, stood up, and strode towards the door - Sui Yuesheng didn't eat much at all tonight, no matter how busy he was, he at least brought something to eat with him Yes, or I will have a stomachache at night.

He had saved up a stomach full of words of persuasion, but Sui Yuesheng was standing on the steps of the porch, concentrating on ordering something with the bodyguard, and had no time to give him a look.

Tao Fengche had no choice but to stand quietly by the side, listening to Sui Yuesheng methodically change the security arrangements at home, and dispatch additional staff to various places. After finally waiting for Sui Yuesheng to finish his orders, just as he was about to speak, Sui Yuesheng was already He turned his head and looked over.

"Xiao Che, I'm going out for a while, you stay at home well, if you have nothing to do, try not to leave the yard."

"Okay, how about-"

Karlmann King came at a high speed, and stopped under the porch with a screeching brake. Before Tao Fengche could finish his speech, Sui Yuesheng had already nodded to him hastily as a farewell, and then turned around and got into the servant's room. Open car door.

The gray curly hair drew a beautiful arc in the night sky, and then was swallowed by the black hole-like carriage together with its owner, and then quickly disappeared into the boundless night.

Tao Fengche was left on the spot, staring helplessly at the trail of exhaust gas remaining in the air, a little dazed.

He blinked, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and after a while, he suddenly lowered his head and rubbed his toes against the ground, as if he suddenly became very interested in the floor tiles on the porch.

The heating was turned on in the main house, and Tao Fengche didn't think it was a problem when he was wearing short sleeves when he was in the house, but now standing at the door, the autumn wind is blowing in with a chill, and a layer of goose skin quickly appeared on his exposed arms pimple.

Tao Fengche's face was full of indifference, the servants looked at each other, and no one dared to speak to persuade them.In the end, it was Xu Song who cautiously came forward and lowered his voice to persuade: "Young master, it's cold outside, go back to the room first, or you can put on some clothes before you come out."

"Shall I go get you a coat?"

Tao Fengche was silent for a long time, and after a long while, he nodded imperceptibly, and shook again.

He finally moved his eyes away from the floor tiles, squinted his eyes to look at the deep night, and the sudden increase of bodyguards in the middle of the yard, and sighed silently.

"It's time to go back."

The food on the table was already cold, Tao Fengche rejected Xu Song's proposal to have the kitchen make a new one, and put the remaining dishes in the bowl into his mouth without taste, looking a little out of his mind.

... In the phone call that Sui Yuesheng answered just now, he heard a few sporadic words, including the word "hospital".

There was a big event at home that required Sui Yuesheng to come to the scene late at night, but Sui Yuesheng was not only unwilling to let him accompany him, he was even unwilling to let him know what happened.Sui Yuesheng only asked him to stay at home and not to cause trouble, so he went out alone to face the bloody storm outside.

But Tao Fengche was born to be raised as the heir of the Tao family. He is an alpha, not a delicate flower in a greenhouse, and does not need such strict protection as an omega born every month.

He likes Sui Yuesheng, wants to walk side by side with Yuesheng, wants to protect him, but Sui Yuesheng doesn't allow it.

Sui Yuesheng didn't even allow him to know.

The despondency and depression that swept over Tao Fengche like a tidal wave almost drowned him. He struggled to breathe, struggling in the sea water, full of resentment, but he didn't know who to hate.

——Hate yourself for the age difference between following Yuesheng?

Hate Sui Yuesheng's desire to protect him?

Or...had Tao Zhixing died too early, so he had to entrust him to Sui Yuesheng?

Everything couldn't be justified, Tao Fengche looked around hastily, for a moment he didn't know what else to hate, and in the end he could only choose to hate himself.

——It's all because he is not strong enough and immature, so in Sui Yuesheng's eyes, he is still just a child who needs to be protected, and Sui Yuesheng cannot treat him as an equal.

Tao Fengche put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, he couldn't eat anything anymore.

Bodyguards with guns came and went in the house, quickly guarding various positions.Although they tried their best to suppress the sound of their footsteps, the sound echoing in the empty room was still a bit noisy, especially Tao Fengche was an alpha with excellent five senses.

He frowned and stared at the bodyguards for a while - since Tao Zhixing's funeral, this was the first time they had entered the main house and stood guard indoors.

What the hell happened to deserve them to be so hard-pressed?

Could it be that there was a fierce conflict with the Red Gang, and a certain boss was shot and sent to the hospital for rescue?

Tao Fengche thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a clue, and also felt deeply depressed for a while.He sat in the restaurant for a while, and finally got up and went back to the room to put on a coat. When he reached the gate, he was stopped by the bodyguard.

"Young Master, are you going out?" The two bodyguards standing at the entrance of the main house turned slightly sideways, and vaguely blocked the door.

Tao Fengche laughed, "I'm not going out, my hands are itchy, and I want to go to the shooting range for a while."

"It's an eventful time now, young master, why don't you stay in the main house, the brothers are all on guard here, it's safer." One of the bodyguards lowered his head and said words of dissuasion, but his actions did not leave any discussion "If the young master wants to exercise, the gym is enough. If you want to practice with me, I will find two brothers to come over now."

"If you want to practice guns, the basement is enough. As long as the young master agrees, I will find a few brothers to arrange the venue now."

The posture was very low, and the attitude was very humble, but both inside and outside the words meant not to let Tao Fengche go out.

Tao Fengche never expected that he would be blocked, let alone that he would be blocked at the gate by his own bodyguards.This matter was so absurd that Tao Fengche couldn't help laughing for a while, but he stared at the two for a while, and was surprised to find that they were serious.

Tao Fengche's breath was stagnant, he narrowed his eyes slightly and took two steps, looked at them from top to bottom, evaluated the odds of winning in his heart, and said calmly: "Then what if I insist on going? Sui Yuesheng just ordered Don't you let me out of the yard? The shooting range is in the yard."

"This is what Sui Boss means. Please, young master, don't make it difficult for us, but if you really insist..." The bodyguard slowly stretched out his hand and touched the lower back in front of Tao Fengche, "Then we can only Offended. After Mr. Sui returns, let the young master deal with it."

Tao Fengche followed his movements and looked over, he couldn't believe what he saw.

——It was a special-effect anesthesia gun produced by the research institute, and it was the same model as the one he brought to threaten Liu Tianlei some time ago.
