Crossflow

It was ten past two in the morning.

The moonlight in the depths of winter was bleakly white, and the brightness was very weak. It spilled into the room through the gauze curtain, not to mention that it did not play any lighting role, but added a bit of loneliness and desolation for no reason.

The thick night covered Tao Fengche airtightly, his eyes were wide open, without any sleepiness, he stared at the ceiling for a while, then subconsciously rolled around on the bed again.

...almost fell to the ground.

Tao Fengche's heart stopped beating for a moment, and he hastily rolled back, which prevented a tragedy from happening.

He has rolled this bed several times, even plowing is not the way to plow.

Tao Fengche stared at a certain point on the curtain, and heaved a long sigh.

Tomorrow morning, he had to go to school again. From the moment he went to bed at 11:30, Tao Fengche obediently closed his eyes, constantly urging himself to fall asleep quickly in his heart.

But for some reason, the always talkative Duke Zhou categorically rejected his visit tonight.

Even the trump card of counting sheep in his head didn't work - on the endless prairie, groups of lambs crowded and stood in line, so many that there was almost no room to stuff them, Tao Fengche was still in good spirits Vigorous, clear-eyed, and even felt that the continuous bleating was a headache.

Contrary to the look in his eyes, his mind was in a mess like a headphone cable stuffed into a jeans pocket, he couldn't figure it out at all, he could only roll around every corner of the bed like pancakes, in order to relieve the anxiety that couldn't be dispelled and boredom.

At this point, no matter how unwilling Tao Fengche was to admit it, he couldn't ignore the fact that he had no conscience: it was just a quarrel with Yuesheng, and he was so troubled that he couldn't sleep at night.

It is not uncommon for the two to quarrel more fiercely in the past, but this is the first quarrel after they fell in love, and the nature and meaning are quite different.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep anymore, and being idle was idle, Tao Fengche sighed deeply, and began to replay this conversation in his mind.

But... but no matter how you think about it, it's not his fault? !

The more Tao Fengche recalled, the angrier he became. He wished he could drag Sui Yuesheng to take an X-ray to see if something went wrong during the volcanic eruption, and the crater was completely blocked by stones.

Otherwise, how could Sui Yuesheng accept death in such a way?I don't know how to change things at all!

Of course Tao Fengche knew it would be good to study abroad.

Although Kyushu's comprehensive national strength ranks among the best in the world, country A is not bad, especially in terms of scientific research, it can rival Kyushu in certain directions, and the research institutes affiliated to University Z are also better than Dow Central in terms of clinical antibiotics. Institute is better.

However, the level of confidentiality in any scientific research place is not much worse, and it is basically impossible to plant commercial spies.If Tao Fengche really wanted to learn something from Z University, no matter how many researchers he sent there, it would not work. He had to go abroad in person, study for a few years personally, and then get down-to-earth with a few project teams to learn a lot. Learn how people think.

Tao Zhixing had already discussed this matter with Tao Fengche when he graduated from primary school.

Tao Fengche was only 11 years old at the time. One afternoon, Tao Zhixing called him into the study with a serious face, and then asked him if he wanted to go abroad to study and learn something new, or stay in Kyushu and take over directly after graduation. company.

Although Tao Fengche didn't quite understand what he meant, he still patted his chest and said that he would go abroad and come back to help his father develop the company together.

After hearing this, Tao Zhixing, who was still young back then, stretched out his hand to touch his son's head, showing an old and comforting smile, and was teased by Tao Fengche, "Dad looks so old when he smiles so strangely."

As soon as Tao Fengche's words fell, Tao Zhixing's face darkened, and he gave him a no-brainer.

After the summer vacation of that year, Tao Fengche entered an international middle school logically, and began to prepare for studying abroad six years later.

For so many years, Tao Zhixing has been making preparations for Tao Fengche to study abroad.Tao Fengche later recalled that it was hard to say whether the old man had the idea of ​​letting him go and rectify the Tao family's business after sending him abroad.

Especially when Sui Yuesheng returned to China at the end of May last year, Tao Fengche found out from Xu Song that Sui Yue had been in the Western Continent for a few years before his death, and his guess was confirmed - all these years, the Tao family was in the Western Continent, Country A, in particular, has made perfect arrangements.

In other words, it is indeed safe over there.

But he was really worried about Sui Yuesheng, and he couldn't understand why Sui Yuesheng was so cruel and stubborn.

Sending him out, what benefits can Sui Yuesheng get?

Tao Fengche was angry and aggrieved, he gritted his teeth viciously, and was so annoyed that he wanted to rush to the gym to punch some sandbags, but he didn't want to because there were servants who were watching the night downstairs, so he had no choice but to smash the quilt angrily.

The duvet covered in winter is soft and fluffy, and hitting it with a fist is like hitting a cloud, and it doesn't have the effect of venting anger at all.Tao Fengche looked around for a while, and finally stared at the unused pillow beside him.

He stretched out his hand to grab it into his bosom, and kneaded it wildly like a face born with the moon. After kneading it, he felt unrelieved, so he held it in his bosom angrily, and rolled on the bed together for a few minutes. Circle, as if this can transfer all the irritability out.

But just when Tao Fengche was seriously struggling with the pillow, a very faint voice suddenly came out of his heart: Actually... Sui Yuesheng was just too worried about his safety.

As for the sentence that made him change color, "If I change someone, I will wait for the mark to be removed before the operation to remove the mark, and if it doesn't work, I will directly remove the gland", the implication is actually...

—Nobody but him.

Tao Fengche reacted belatedly, blinked blankly, and froze in place.

And when the thinking turned this corner, all the previous conversations seemed to have another answer.

Tao Fengche got angry at Sui Yuesheng's blunt sentence "I'm still kidnapped with bodyguards", and I just felt that Sui Yuesheng was disgusting himself and making trouble for him. Now that I think about it, Sui Yuesheng was obviously awkward worried about him.

He was accidentally kidnapped by Zhao Jiayang, and Sui Yuesheng didn't close his eyes for several days in order to find his trace, and even rushed to the forefront single-handedly during the rescue.

When his arm was injured and he didn't know if there would be traps or ambushes ahead, in order to protect his safety, Sui Yuesheng even ignored dissuasion and agreed to Zhao Jiayang's request to let the special police retreat, and confronted Zhao Jiayang alone.

Although Guan Hui has been criticizing Sui Yuesheng openly and secretly for not obeying orders and arrangements afterwards, which brought great difficulties to the rescue of the hostages, even Guan Hui has to admit that without Sui Yuesheng, The rescue operation will never go so smoothly.

After leaving the Fuyuan processing factory, Sui Yuesheng went to discuss the follow-up arrangements with Jiang Jingyun. Tao Fengche stood by and overheard the whispered discussions of several police officers not far away.

"I used to read those gossip tabloids saying that rich people's families are impersonal, and they fight to the death for a few money. I actually believed it before. I didn't expect to see it now, and the relationship between them is good!"

"Yeah, the Tao family is definitely a wealthy family, right? I heard from a buddy in the special police that the two of them have no blood relationship at all. If this child dies inside, then the boss will be the sure head of the family, but..."

"There are very few brothers who can do this! I feel my conscience. In the situation just now, if the other policemen were to withdraw, I would stay there alone and confront the kidnapper with the gun... I It can't be done."

"Come on, you! At that time, in order to ensure the safety of the hostages, don't you have to bite the bullet?"

The jokes of the special policemen seemed to be still close to my ears, and the more Tao Fengche recalled, the softer his heart became, and the hard rock gradually turned into a fluffy cotton candy.

…Speaking of it, he was also wrong, his tone was too aggressive, and the matter was brought up too suddenly, so he should prepare more time and follow Yuesheng step by step.

What's more, Sui Yuesheng had just finished the international conference at that time.

It's obvious to all how good Sui Yuesheng is to him. Even if he insists on going abroad, it's nothing but caring and chaos.

Just now he got angry, he didn't go downstairs to make hot milk for Sui Yue, if he didn't go, the kitchen wouldn't move rashly, brother tonight...

I don't know if I can sleep well or not.

Tao Fengche gradually calmed down, and the sense of guilt came up, and he kept churning in his heart, just like cooking porridge: he didn't feel anything at first, but later he started gurgling small bubbles, which made him boil again. I can't stand it anymore.

Tao Fengche couldn't lie down any longer, sat up and smashed the pillow angrily, and lost his mind for a while.After a while, he finally let out a long sigh—forget it, accept his fate.

Tao Fengche coaxed himself well, turned over and got out of bed, put on soft and silent plush slippers, and quietly pushed the door open a crack, not seeing the servant in the corridor, so he pushed it lightly door, and walked to the next door in the dark.

Thank goodness, Sui Yuesheng didn't lock the door today.

"Click."

Tao Fengche held his breath, and quietly opened the door a crack, dodged into the room, bypassed all the obstacles familiarly, and arrived at Sui Yuesheng's bedside unimpeded.

The person on the bed was lying flat, fast asleep.

Tao Fengche stared at his sleeping face for a while, then unconsciously frowned.

After a while, he stretched out his hand, poked Sui Yuesheng's arm, and said softly: "Brother, I know you are awake."

Sui Yuesheng was motionless, breathing evenly, with a peaceful face, and he didn't even flick his eyelashes.

Tao Fengche was silent for a while, then sighed silently.

"Brother, if you were really asleep, your posture would not be so standard."

Tao Fengche discovered Sui Yuesheng's sleeping position problem since he was eight years old.

The immortal elder brother who seemed invincible was actually soft when he fell asleep, lying on his side, his body curled up slightly, and his whole body relaxed.

Tao Fengche especially likes to watch him sleep, but it's a pity that Sui Yuesheng is too sensitive to the sound of footsteps, often before Tao Fengche runs to his bedside, he would already wake up, frowning and staring impatiently at Tao Feng Che look.

After staying in Tao's house for more than a month, Sui Yuesheng's problem of being easy to wake up gradually improved, and Tao Fengche was allowed to come to his room with his pillow in his arms from time to time, and sleep with him in the cage.

Tao Fengche was finally able to lie contentedly beside Sui Yuesheng, peeking at his sleeping face unscrupulously, but later...

Later, Sui Yuesheng left without saying goodbye, and when we met again ten years later, his tendency to wake up easily became more and more serious.

Tao Fengche pursed his lips, unwilling to think about it any further.

But no matter what, Sui Yuesheng shouldn't be so calm now - it doesn't look like he is sleeping, like he is in a coma.

Tao Fengche leaned over to get closer, and under the dim moonlight, he inexplicably tasted a bit of death and denial from Sui Yuesheng's beautiful face of Sai Xue bullying Shuang.

...Since this is the case, don't blame him for taking advantage of others.

Tao Fengche stretched out his hand, stroked Sui Yuesheng's lips with his fingertips, and touched his lips in a detached way: "Brother, don't pretend to be asleep. If you pretend again, I will kiss you."
