Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

When we got home, Wang Jiawen went into the kitchen to cook in an apron, while Xiao Ping and I sat on the sofa and chatted.

I told Xiao Ping about my interview trip to the chemical plant in detail, and of course I didn’t forget to mention my fearless act of giving the mask to the children, but Xiao Ping was stunned when he heard it, and he looked at me more tribute.

"You are really a kind person." Hearing Xiao Ping's compliments to me, I finally felt a little better.In this whole world, Wang Jiawen is probably the only one who, instead of praising my great deed, would pour cold water on me.

"Speaking of this chemical plant, I also know that I have a cousin who works in it, but it's in the cafeteria, which is relatively easy." Xiao Ping said: "Listen to him, this plant is indeed not peaceful. It is said that before Several people died of overwork, and one of them seemed to doze off while working, and as a result, his whole body fell into the concentrated sulfuric acid, leaving no bones left!"

As I listened, I couldn't help shivering.This kind of factory is simply holding back socialism. Taking advantage of this incident, perhaps we should really investigate it carefully, otherwise there will only be more disasters in the future.

"There have been so many accidents, and no family has caused trouble?" I asked Xiao Ping.

Xiao Ping frowned and thought for a while: "It seems that there is no such thing. The group behind this chemical plant is very large, and I heard that the hush money is not low."

Tsk tsk tsk, it's simply a capitalist style.I asked, "Which company is behind it?"

"Here, it's the Renchang Group, the one that advertises on CCTV all day long..."

Renchang Group, when I heard these four words, my whole body couldn't help trembling suddenly, and those unbearable memories rushed out again, that person's gloomy face and cold smile, those gloomy days and heart-wrenching pain , swept all my thinking space in an instant.For these four words, I have obviously formed a conditioned reflex, and I feel infinite fear just by hearing them.

Why is it Renchang Group?What about that person's company?

In my previous life, I spent two months successively investigating many inside stories of the Renchang Group, but I pushed myself into a dark abyss.

In this life, if I can choose, the only thing I don't want to touch is the Renchang Group.

All the ambition and fighting spirit I had before disappeared, and now in my heart, there is only resistance.

If something as big as an explosion happens, it will rectify itself; or maybe in the past few days, my colleagues have written in-depth investigation reports... The director will not let me do this report, after all, I They were all hospitalized because of this.

So, let's not do it, shall we?

Feel a little guilty again.

"Xiaoye, Xiaoye, are you alright?" Hearing someone call me, I looked up and saw Xiao Ping looking at me strangely, probably because he was frightened by my current appearance.

Wang Jiawen's big model also ran out, perhaps because he heard Xiao Ping's call.He walked up to me, stared at me carefully for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and tapped on my head, then turned and said to Xiao Ping: "He's fine, but he often becomes dazed in the middle of what he's talking about. Just hit him once, hard enough, and he'll wake up."

Hey, don't tell me I'm as good as a masochist!I shook my fist behind his back in protest.

But I only dared to do this behind my back. Seeing that he had a tendency to turn around, I immediately put my hands back on my knees, acting like a good student.Wang Jiawen probably sensed my rebellious behavior just now, and stared at me without saying a word, so I also tried my best to look at him, as if I was trying to compare someone's eyes.

"Pfft", I heard a chuckle from behind Wang Jiawen.

I blinked my sore eyes, looked at Xiao Ping, and saw him grinning joyfully: "You two are so fun, you two are so cute!"

He laughed for a few minutes, and Wang Jiawen and I just folded our arms and looked at him calmly for a few minutes.It wasn't until he pursed his lips and returned to his normal sitting posture that Wang Jiawen straightened the sofa cover, and then slowly walked back to the kitchen.

"Pfft." This time it was me who laughed.Comrade Xiao Ping seems to be quite interesting.

For dinner, Wang Jiawen made his specialty curry beef brisket and tea-flavored chicken. Xiao Ping applauded while eating, and ate three bowls of rice in a row.It seems that Wang Jiawen's culinary skills have gained another fan.

"Jiawen, your craftsmanship is really great. It will be a great blessing for any woman to marry you in the future." Xiao Ping's unintentional words made the atmosphere on the table suddenly cool down.

Both Wang Jiawen and I forgot that Xiao Ping didn't know that we were gay. If he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't call us brothers and sisters anymore.

That's why Wang Jiawen and I seldom have friends other than each other.I used to be ignorant, and only knew that I had to show my heart and soul to people. I told a few friends about my homosexuality, but they were all alienated without exception.It was only later that I learned that there are certain things that even friends cannot talk about, and if they talk about it, the friend will not be able to do it.But I also feel that, although we are friends, but still have to hide these things, pretending to be very interested in talking about women and dirty jokes with those people, it is too tiring, and I don’t want to make friends at all.

As for Xiao Ping, becoming friends with him was the result of an accident and overheating. Although his enthusiasm and boldness really made me feel good, but instead of letting him know that I am gay and stay away from me, it is better for me to start alienating now. he.

"Actually, I don't like women." At this time, Wang Jiawen said suddenly: "I only like the same sex, so I don't plan to marry women."

Seeing the surprised expression on Xiao Ping's face, and then his eyes constantly wandering between Wang Jiawen and me, my heart sank. It seems that my friendship with this person has come to an end.

"Although I'm gay, I don't just like a man when I see him. For example, Ye Shuzhen. I've always regarded him as a roommate and buddy." Wang Jiawen continued. His words made me a little ashamed. I remember When I first saw him, I coveted his muscles.

"Oh...it's okay." Xiao Ping's smile seemed forced, he lowered his head to forcefully pick up the rice, then picked up the dish in front of him, and never raised his head again.

Wang Jiawen and I looked at each other, I understood what Wang Jiawen meant, he used himself to test Xiao Ping's attitude, and then asked me to decide whether or not to have this friend.

Seeing Xiao Ping's reaction, I also decided to confess: "Xiao Ping, I'm actually gay too."

The chopsticks fell on the table with a "clack". Xiao Ping looked up and stared at me blankly, with two grains of rice on the corner of his mouth, which looked extraordinarily funny.

And I couldn't laugh at all.
