There was a flash of anger for no reason, and Luo Rui thought it was a bit too much after thinking about it.With a big head, he knew that he was a bit unreasonable, but he couldn't save himself and bowed his head to Zhou Jiashu.So with a gloomy face, he and Zhou Jiashu acted like strangers, doing their own thing without interfering with each other.

Going to work at the newspaper office in the morning, Luo Rui smelled a strange atmosphere as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.When I walked to the door of the office, I heard Lao Qian chatting there: "I really can't tell..."

"Let's talk about yourself, if you do news, you have to see the essence through the phenomenon."

"But..." Old Qian gestured his hands and was about to continue, when he saw Luo Rui walking in, he swallowed his words abruptly.Luo Rui looked at them inexplicably, they were all holding newspapers or holding the mouse to do their own things.Luo Rui guessed that it had nothing to do with him.Old Qian packed up his things and called Luo Rui to go out.Today, Deputy Mayor Chen is going to a nearby place where migrant practitioners live to see the children who come out to work with their parents and find out about their schooling situation.Lao Qian told Luo Rui to do his homework yesterday, Luo Rui carried his bag, drank some water and followed Lao Qian out of the newspaper office.

The place was quite far away, Lao Qian sat in the car and yawned, turned his head and saw Luo Rui, curled his lips and couldn't help asking him: "Are you from Lao Qin's hometown?"

"Well, he's my dad's student."

"Oh." Old Qian nodded.

"Old Qin and his wife don't seem to be at home all the time."

"It is said that he often travels abroad."

"They have been married for many years, and it seems that they have never had children..."

Luo Rui was a little suspicious. Although Lao Qian drools a lot and is usually very talkative, he rarely talks about his colleagues, let alone Qin Yanming.Old Qian saw Luo Rui's puzzled face and smiled dryly, and didn't continue talking.

The half-day interview was very busy. I followed the deputy mayor to inspect a circle, and then went to interview school teachers and children near the industrial area.It was past four o'clock when he returned to the newspaper office. Lao Qian asked Luo Rui to export all the photos and other related data, and compiled some relevant data from his investigation yesterday into a document, which was appended under the main news draft.Luo Rui has already prepared the data, and it only needs to be simply listed together.He sent the sorted things to Lao Qian, and took a piece of bread to make tea in the tea room. Several girls from other departments sat in the tea room and whispered while drinking tea. The content was vaguely related to Qin Yanming.Some gloat, some act surprised.Luo Rui frowned, it was not easy to ask them if she was not familiar with them.

"Ah, handsome guy, I haven't seen you for several days." Zheng Letian walked into the tea room with a teacup, and Luo Rui leaned against him: "Did something happen in the newspaper office? I heard them talking all day today. What are you talking about..."

Zheng Letian looked back at some of the girls who were chatting. Seeing that there were more people in the tea room, the girls dispersed.Zheng Letian cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "I heard that someone sent an anonymous letter to the president, reporting on the life style of the editor-in-chief Qin."

Luo Rui was taken aback: "What's wrong with him?"

"I heard he plays with men..." Zheng Letian looked around and whispered in Luo Rui's ear.

"impossible."

Zheng Letian shrugged his shoulders: "It's hard to say, who has no secrets behind them. Besides, people in high positions will inevitably have some secrets. Take it easy, you and Chief Qin are very familiar, be careful not to be dragged together by gossip .”

Zheng Letian made a cup of tea and went out, Luo Rui stood in the tea room in a daze.Qin Yanming has a relationship with Tang Dongwen, he has seen it.But when it comes to playing with men... Luo Rui shivered.Qin Yanming may not be a good person, but he can't be that dirty.Even if he had something to do with Tang Dongwen, Tang Dongwen himself would not be innocent.

Could it be someone who deliberately framed it.How despicable!

Luo Rui sighed and went back to his office, chewing his bread slowly, waiting for Lao Qian to finish the manuscript to see how he sorted out the data, and telling him how to write this kind of manuscript is more dignified.Then he sent the manuscript to Director Yu. Director Yu had no objection, Lao Qian patted Luo Rui: "Get off work."

"Well, goodbye." Luo Rui glanced at the time with his bag on his back, it was almost seven o'clock.Zhou Jiashu sent two text messages before. He was busy with business and didn't reply. Now he checked it out again. Zhou Jiashu had an appointment with Professor Feng from the Research Center of the Medical College. He will do an exclusive interview with him in the afternoon, and he may reply later. relatively late.

The elevator door opened, and Luo Rui walked in holding his mobile phone. Just as the door was about to close, someone shouted outside: "Wait."

Luo Rui pressed the button to open the door, Qin Yanming walked in with a flat body, and dropped a file bag in his hand to the ground.A photo floated out.Luo Rui glanced at him, the photo was a bit old, he was a pretty young boy, probably around 20 years old.His face was morbidly pale, and his expression was very lonely.Thinking of the rumors he heard before, Luo Rui quietly helped Qin Yanming pick up the file bag.

"Thank you." Qin Yanming smiled: "Let's go."

"Yes." Luo Rui nodded: "Editor Qin just left?"

"Some things were delayed for a while." Qin Yanming showed a little helpless expression, and then let the smile cover it up.

Luo Rui guessed that the private affairs that delayed him should be related to the rumors.He really wanted to ask Qin Yanming, but he felt that it was not suitable for him to ask such a question because of his familiarity with Qin Yanming and his identity.He pouted and looked at the jumping numbers on the elevator.

"Where's Jiashu? Aren't you going with him?" Qin Yanming asked with a smile.

"Uh, he seems to have gone out for an interview this afternoon." Luo Rui twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

"Oh, I remembered." Qin Yanming smiled and looked at Luo Rui: "Would you like to have a meal with me?"

Luo Rui looked at him slightly surprised.

"It's fine if we have an appointment." Qin Yanming relieved himself indifferently.

"Uh, no appointment."

"Okay then, you go out from the first floor in a while, and I'll go to the first floor to get the car. Let's meet near the bus station." Luo Rui looked at Qin Yanming, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.Maybe it is really afraid of gossip.

This time Qin Yanming chose an Italian restaurant with a very elegant environment and a good atmosphere.Luo Rui was dazzled by the well-crafted meals.

"You're welcome." Qin Yanming flipped through the menu and ordered grilled lamb chops and tiramisu, and ordered a bottle of red wine.Luo Rui rummaged for a long time and only ordered a sea bass in tomato sauce.

When the red wine was served, Qin Yanming drank one cup after another, seemingly carelessly, Luo Rui could tell that those rumors had some influence on him.

"Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach hurts the stomach." Luo Rui said.

Qin Yanming smiled.When all the meals were served, Qin Yanming cut half of the lamb chops and put them on Luo Rui's plate: "Very famous, signature dish."

"Thank you." Luo Rui looked at Qin Yanming while eating.Qin Yanming ate a few mouthfuls, but the focus was still on drinking.

"I heard that someone sent an anonymous letter to the president..."

"Do you believe it?" Qin Yanming looked at Luo Rui with a half-smile.

Luo Rui shook his head.

"Thank you." Qin Yanming cheered, and added some red wine for Luo Rui: "I don't know much about red wine, but I like this kind of wine better. The taste is good, not so astringent. Try it."

"Oh." Luo Rui picked up the cup and took a sip.

Qin Yanming took the previous file bag in his hand, took out the photos and put them in front of Luo Rui.Luo Rui looked at Qin Yanming, then at the young man in the photo.

"I thought I had forgotten him, but I didn't expect someone to find out." Qin Yanming sighed and rubbed his forehead, his tone gradually became melancholy: "It has been many years..., about...eight years or nine years. Year?"

Luo Rui looked at Qin Yanming.Qin Yanming took another sip of red wine to moisten his throat: "I am a very hypocritical person."

Luo Rui looked at Qin Yanming calmly.Qin Yanming smiled desolately: "Actually, I am very envious of Zhou Jiashu. He does his own thing and tells everyone about his sexual orientation from the very beginning. So everyone accepts it frankly, but I look forward and backward, always afraid that others will look at me with colored eyes. Conceal and conceal, harm others and yourself."

Luo Rui was slightly surprised. Judging by his posture, he planned to tell himself the whole story.

"This kid was only 19 years old when he died. He was a very talented kid. It was love at first sight with him."

Luo Rui glanced at the photo again and guessed that the ending of this story was very sad.Qin Yanming always greeted people with a smiling face, but his sad expression in memory was completely different from his usual self.

"That year I went to the Art Academy for interviews, and there were young people dressed in unique styles everywhere. Everyone felt that they would turn out in the near future and become a much-anticipated artist. He was different from them, obviously He paints very well, but he always looks indifferent to everything. We got acquainted quickly and got along very well. Occasionally go to the bar together. When we are in a bad mood, we complain to each other. He always At the end of the month, when I was short of food money, he would come to my place to eat, and sometimes he would live in my house. I always thought he was like a younger brother, a little willful younger brother. My wife was pursuing me at that time, and her father was a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. , It may provide a lot of convenience for a little person like me who has no roots. I didn’t think too much at the time, I only knew that working alone in this city is very hard. So I agreed to the marriage. He disappeared when he knew I was going to get married Only then did I realize that he was actually very important to me. I looked for it, but I couldn’t find it, and then I got married. Later, when I got news of him, he died, a suicide.”

Qin Yanming took another sip of wine: "If I had been clearer about my feelings at that time, had been braver and more responsible in dealing with things, I'm afraid things would not have been as they were later. He would not have died..."

Qin Yanming's eyes were slightly red, and his eyes gradually became blurred: "Why did he think of death? The building is so high, and he just jumped down like this..."
