Stand by

Jiang Xing looked at him strangely: "I'm not being polite."

Seeing that Pei Lu didn't move, he didn't bother to say more, he just lifted the corner of the quilt and reminded: "Hurry up, we have to get up very early tomorrow."

Pei Lu's eyes dimmed.

"it is good."

Ben also wanted to sort out the materials used in tomorrow's meeting, but now he couldn't refuse the invitation anyway.

The other side of the bed was soft and collapsed, and the distance between the two of them was neither too far nor too close. The hot and humid air sprayed from the man's arms made the thin air in the quilt warm up.

Pei Lu had a broad and calm aura like the ocean, surrounding Jiang Xing who was perched on the island.

Jiang Xing covered his face with the quilt, leaving only one pair of eyes. He heard Pei Lu ask, "Do you want to keep the lamp?"

Jiang Xing said in a low voice, "No need."

"Then I'll close it, go to sleep, good night."

Jiang Xing didn't respond to him anymore.

The moon on the sea is round and bright, reflecting faint light through the gaps in the curtains, echoing the lighthouse on the sea.

The night on Hong Kong Island is bustling and quiet, with lazy waves crashing on the shore and the sound of boats and whistles.

Jiang Xing didn't feel sleepy at all, he wasn't used to sleeping with people around him, so he restrained himself and turned on his phone under the quilt, wanting to go to the forum to ask everyone about the strange and weird feelings he had with Pei Lu these two days.

Suddenly Pei Lu's voice came from the darkness, like the broadness of the waves slapping gently on the edge of an island: "Can't sleep?"

Jiang Xing immediately held his breath and turned off the screen: "Did I disturb you?"

Pei Lu still has heavy tasks tomorrow, so he must ensure adequate rest.

Pei Lu felt the hillock around him quickly subside, and Jiang Xing was as nimble as a frightened animal, and quickly settled into a sleeping position, stretching his arms and legs, so as not to disturb him.

Pei Lu didn't answer his question, put his hands behind his head, and called his name in a low voice: "Jiang Xing."

"Ok?"

"If you're not sleepy, let's chat."

Pei Lu's tone sounded casual, but it made him feel like he was discussing some important business. Jiang Xing was a little scared, but his voice was calm: "What are you talking about?"

Pei Lu knew he was nervous, even though his voice was so calm.

All the senses and feelings in the dark night were magnified, and Pei Lu heard his heart beating fast and powerfully in his chest. He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Do you... hate me?"

Jiang Xing felt that he didn't hear clearly: "What, what?"

Why did Pei Lu suddenly want to drop such a bomb in such a peaceful atmosphere.

In the darkness, Pei Lu seemed to laugh softly, laughing at his panic, but the curvature of his lips turned bitter afterward: "Why are you so surprised?"

He chased after him, but his tone was a little indulgent: "Do you think I won't be able to see it?"

Jiang Xing's repulsion and impatience are not concealed, it's really hard not to see it so obvious.

It wasn't a tone of blame, but Pei Lu's straightforward and natural question still made Jiang Xing feel angry, as if being played with, he lowered his voice: "You can see it when you see it."

Putting your face on is for people to see, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see it!"

Pei Lu: "..."

"Why? You have done such a despicable thing, are you afraid that people will hate you?"

Why do you still have the face to ask such a straightforward question.

despicable?Pei Lu frowned, turned around and lay on his side to face him: "What did I do?"

Of all the things he did, the only thing he didn't dare to face Jiang Xing was probably that at some point his emotions could not help but cross the line.

Is it mean?

He thought that he had restrained himself enough to be tolerant enough, and he was so despicable when he was in love and stopped with courtesy?

Jiang Xing saw that he had no self-knowledge of introspection and remorse, and laughed angrily: "Don't you know what you did?"

Pei Lu just said, "I don't know, you tell me." He found Jiang Xing's eyes in the dark, with a serious and sincere expression.

Jiang Xing was unbelievable, and felt that something was wrong. The dark night gave him the courage to vent. Thinking of all the unfair treatment these days, he suppressed the grievances and poured out. Jiang Xing couldn't help but open his mouth and accuse him loudly: "Didn't you already reject my application? ? Which piece of my evidence is unclear?"

He had endured it for a long time, and he couldn't bear it anymore: "That idiot Ye Yi didn't even understand the principle of deduction, so he stole my data and plagiarized my views. You and Fang Xu partnered to cover him up and suppress me, isn't that despicable?"

"Do you know how long I worked on that set of data? I stayed in the laboratory every day without eating, drinking or sleeping." He said that he wanted to cry, but he didn't cry, he wanted to scold Pei Lu to death.

"If you reject the letter, I have to restart the appeal process again. If the experimental sample fails, I have to do the experiment again!"

"Why? Why do you steal, waste, and ignore other people's hard work? You can use other people's things as you want, and you can take them as you want. How is this different from robbers and executioners? Not only do I hate you, I also disgust you and look down on you. you!"

"you!"

"But I will never just let it go. Pei Lu, let me tell you, I will never let it go."

The more Jiang Xing spoke, the more angry he became, and he said a few hateful words intermittently, each of which was like a heavy shackle on Pei Lu's body.

It's one thing to guess in private, but another to hear it with your own ears. It's as if the heart was scratched by the sharp claws of a cat picked up by himself. Pei Lu didn't care if his heart was scratched with blood Mottled, there are more important things waiting to be confirmed at this moment.

Jiang Xing's eyelashes were suddenly covered by a pair of warm hands, and when he opened his eyes again, the floor night light by the bed had been turned on, filling the room with soft light.

Pei Lu's heart fell like weightlessness, with a serious expression: "What data was stolen, and what is there to reject? I don't know, can you tell me clearly from the beginning to the end?"

Jiang Xing was stunned, lying on the bed and raised his head in surprise, the corners of his eyes were still red from being too excited.

After a few seconds, he also got up quickly, because he was too surprised not to notice that his knee was now tightly pressed against Pei Lu's muscular thigh.

The hood of the pajamas was half-drooped behind his head, which couldn't hold back his maverick hair.

Even those hairs seemed angry.

Pei Lu wanted to help him caress, but he stretched out his hand halfway, then retracted it again.

Jiang Xing didn't believe his nonsense at all, and even thought of leaving immediately: "What are you pretending to be stupid!?"

Pei Lu held him down with an extremely serious expression: "I'm not pretending to be stupid, can you tell me in detail about what you just said?"

Jiang Xing, half sarcastic and half angry, restored the matter completely, and the room was silent.

Pei Lu's face was gloomy and cold, his brows were furrowed, this small space was shrouded in dark clouds and low air pressure.

Jiang Xing rubbed the corner of his pajamas. The other party seemed to be really ignorant. He hesitated to question: "But, the final application for rejection was indeed issued by you. It has an official seal, your supervisor's seal, and your e-mail address. The signature is still in my mailbox, do you want to see it?"

Pei Lu took his mobile phone, and his heart sank quickly in the dark abyss, as if someone had dug into the most vulnerable place.

It turned out that this was the case, the other party's constant rejection and inexplicable indifference had an explanation,

All Jiang Xing's disappointment and unhappiness in the laboratory finally had an answer.

Pei Lu's eyebrows were sharp, his eyes flickering, and he pressed his fingers on his veined forehead without saying a word. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "I... I'm sorry," he took a deep breath, "I don't know, During that time, I was still going through the handover procedures, and Fang Xu was acting as temporary substitute for the work in the office."

"I haven't received the plagiarism application and evidence you mentioned."

Pei Lu explained almost hopelessly that he probably understood Jiang Xing's temper, and that to be strong in his bones would be revenge. He wanted to make amends, but he didn't know if the other party would give him this chance.

The haste and undercurrents in Pei Lu's eyes coexisted, and there was such a hint of condescension in his tone: "I will not shirk responsibility, Jiang Xing, I apologize to you, although this was not my intention, it is my dereliction of duty and negligence, my credulity in others, I will make full compensation for the loss and injury caused to you."

Jiang Xing was stunned, as if he had never thought that the road to clearing up his grievances would be so smooth and smooth, and he said cautiously: "You haven't seen my evidence yet, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"

Pei Lu's rhythmic hand pressed on his shoulder and patted him: "I believe in you."

Jiang Xing was obviously on the right side. He was sitting proudly on the moral high ground, but now he felt a little uncomfortable, and turned his head to complain: "But Ye Yi's report has been submitted."

"It's okay." Although Pei Luying's handsome face was calm, his expression was serious and sincere, hiding a trace of sternness: "Leave this matter to me later, is that okay?"

Pei Lu's hot leg muscles were pressed against his white and round knees, his eyes were as deep as dark rivers in the night, earnestly and sincerely, and pleaded in a low voice: "Give me this chance to plead guilty, and I will give you a satisfactory answer .”
