The selfish gene

Zhou Jiyu said: "Psychologically, this kind of duplicity is called the 'reverse formation defense mechanism'. Because I like it too much, I am nervous and anxious, afraid that I am not good enough, and afraid that the closer the other party gets, the more they understand the real self and they will start to hate it. , so I had no choice but to pretend to be indifferent to protect myself from being hurt."

Apathy is the brain's... defense mechanism?

There is such a weird personality in the world, how did Ji Chenfeng get together with his first love back then, did it all depend on telepathy?

"The other party is you..." I guessed, "The ex?"

If it was just an acquaintance, then his laugh just now was too disgusting.It's not the man from before, he should also have a crush on him.

Zhou Jiyu nodded: "It happened many years ago. We grew up together. We were very young when we were together. When we separated, I was 20 years old and he was only [-] years old."

Another childhood sweetheart.Zhou Jiyu's words reminded me of Ji Chenfeng's first love.The memory is a little fuzzy, but the other party seems to have the surname Zhou too.Zhou Yu?Or Zhou Yu?After all, it was swept away three years ago, so I can't remember clearly.

"Why did you break up?" It may be that the other party's ex had many similar relationships with Ji Chenfeng, which aroused my rare curiosity.

Zhou Jiyu obviously didn't expect me to ask such a direct question, and a flash of pain flashed across his face.But just for a moment, that expression disappeared from his face again, becoming the usual gentleness.

"Although we have known each other for a long time, we have only been together for two years. These two years... have taught me a lot. He is very good, but I want better." When he said this, he smiled, The tone is also good, without any guilt, "So I abandoned him. No, it should be said, I abandoned everything in the past."

Although at first I found it irritating that this guy pretended to be smart, but the drive to climb up as soon as he found the goal, and the magnanimity of not shying away from his past shameless behavior are quite admirable.

"If it's bad, it's only natural to abandon it." I said indifferently.

Zhou Jiyu was silent for a moment, and did not continue this topic.

"It's certainly not difficult to make the other party obsessed with you and completely addicted to you. It's very easy to observe his words and deeds, do what he likes, and start to break through his weaknesses. Let me teach you..."

The news disappeared like a stone, and Ji Chenfeng still didn't reply to me until [-] o'clock in the evening.

A person went to a reserved restaurant.In his position, the manager is already very good at observing words and expressions. Maybe he sensed something from my face and the air pressure around me, so he removed the roses from the table without saying a word.

The steak was well-cooked but didn't leave much of an impression of tenderness in the mouth.Just like completing a task, stuffing it into his mouth one mouthful at a time.

Time passed very slowly, and I took out my mobile phone to confirm again and again, and it was only eight o'clock when I finished my meal.

After paying the bill, I went to the parking garage, but forgot where the car was parked.It took two laps to find it with the help of sporadic memory. By this time, the anger had reached its peak.One kick on the car door was not enough, so I kicked the second and third.

The vehicle sirens blaringly and the lights begin to flash.Pedestrians passing by all looked sideways, thinking that I was a lunatic from somewhere.

After venting all his strength, the security guards also rushed over.

"Don't move, what are you doing!"

Panting, I flicked the lapel of my suit, showed them the car keys hanging between my fingers, and then opened the car door in front of everyone and walked away.

Speeding all the way to the high speed, it was not pleasing to see the slow cars, one by one gasped up and overtook them.It took only half an hour to get to Fisherman's Wharf.

The car was parked on the side of the road, elbow resting on the lowered window frame, puffing on the electronic cigarette.Uncle Li's stall was still deserted, Ji Chenfeng was nowhere to be seen, only Yan Shanhua was greeting the guests.

After hesitating for a while, he still took out his mobile phone and dialed Ji Chenfeng's number. It took a long time before he was picked up, but the voice was very strange.

"Hey?"

After confirming that there was no wrong dial, I said bluntly, "Who are you? Where is Ji Chenfeng?"

The male voice on the opposite side said: "Dr. Ji is performing an operation, what do you want from him? I'll let him go back to you later."

It's time to get off work at six o'clock, but you are still undergoing surgery, is it because of this that you didn't call me back?

"fine."

The raging flames that burned the internal organs were extinguished a little.I hung up the phone, started the engine again, just sat there for 5 minutes, and drove home again.

Zhou Jiyu said that if you want to hunt the most delicious prey, you must be the most patient hunter.

Then wait a little longer.

The first thing I do when I wake up is check my phone.

I thought I would see Ji Chenfeng's reply message when I woke up, or at least ask about the phone call.As a result, there was nothing overnight, and the chat bar was clean, just like when I fell asleep yesterday.

Throwing the phone aside, cursed a lot of dirty words in my heart.

Going to Aliya with a bad face, I happened to meet Aji's manager Cai Congcong in Xu Xi's office to chat about business.

He just said hello to me, and continued to discuss the previous topic with Xu Xi: "The parent company said that he had no history of drug use, and that kid insisted that he was drugged in a bar. But what is the truth? Who knows." He said forcefully, "Anyway, our family can't afford it all, if they don't plan to take responsibility, then it's a big deal not to cooperate in the future."

It seems that Aji's matter has not been clarified yet.

"Losing our family, they still have tens of thousands of families, do they care?" Xu Xi sighed lightly.

Cai Congcong was quite confident at first, but when he heard the leak here, he also sighed: "External models are too bad, I really want to sign more domestic models. Fortunately, the client understood us last time and agreed to change the model and change the shooting time Yes, but Lu Sui was chosen. That kid has such a bad temper, I might not be able to hold back."

"Lu Sui is indeed good-looking, and his business ability is not bad, but his temper is like a cactus."

"Need to find a town to live in."

"Yeah, I need to find someone..."

The office was eerily quiet.I, who was listening to their conversation openly, felt strange. When I raised my head from the phone, I saw Xu Xi and Cai Congcong looking at me together with piercing eyes.

I frowned: "What?"

Xu Xi walked behind me with a smile, put his hands on my shoulder attentively and said, "It's like this, the client is Hezi Fashion..."

Zheng Jieyuan's parents divorced when he was [-] or [-] years old. Zheng's mother Xin Hezi started a business in middle age and established her own clothing brand. Although she can't match Zheng's father's business empire now, she is still successful in her career.

Because of Zheng Jieyuan's relationship, I met this Aunt Xin twice, and I have some friendship.

"In your capacity, sitting next to you should be able to calm down the situation. For your sake, even if Lu Sui plays a little temper, the other party will not really get mad and make us look bad."

It turned out to be such a calculation.

At any rate, Aliya had the title of "manager", so there was nothing wrong with selling favors to her.

"Just this once." I held out my index finger.

"Okay baby."

Xu Xi cheered and hugged me from behind, her long black curly hair covered my head and face, and her breath was filled with the smell of strong women's perfume.

It's the scent of an ordinary woman.But I don't know if it's because I haven't been in touch for too long, and I feel that it's so strange that I can't accept it.It's too strong, and the nose feels like it's going to be abolished.

I ate lunch with Xu Xi, and heard her say a lot about Monica and the three cats.

When she left, she finally couldn't help it, and asked me if I didn't sleep well again, I looked tired, and my appetite was not good.

I know she is worried about me, but she can't help me with my troubles.After a few perfunctory sentences, I drove away.He was going back to the apartment, but before passing the intersection, he changed his mind temporarily and changed lanes to head towards the pet hospital.

Zhou Jiyu spoke lightly.A skilled hunter must have many alternative prey.But I only have Ji Chenfeng, if he doesn't fall into my trap, all assumptions are useless.

The first thing to do when you enter the door is to go to the third clinic, but Ji Chenfeng is not there.

I came to the front desk: "Is Doctor Ji there?"

The nurse at the front desk already knew me, pointed in the direction of the small office and said, "Are you here to see the little turtle? Doctor Ji is resting in the office, would you like..."

Before she finished speaking, I walked towards Ji Chenfeng's office with big strides.

I almost forgot there was a little bastard.Then say that you are here to see the turtle.

Without knocking on the door, he turned the handle and pushed the door open.Before it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Ji Chenfeng was lying on a recliner, sleeping soundly, with a one-eyed white cat seen in the last video lying on his body.

Seeing a stranger, the white cat meowed softly, jumped onto the ground silently, brushed my legs and went out.Ji Chenfeng was also awakened by the movement, and opened his eyes in a daze.

I closed the door behind my back and locked it.

Because of sleeping with his head on his side, Ji Chenfeng got red marks on one side of his face.

"...Sang Nian?" The voice calling my name seemed to be not fully awake yet.

When speaking in a normal volume, his articulation will be a little weird on certain special sounds.And if it is such a soft whisper, it will become sticky like melting ice cream.

Just listen to it once, and my ears feel like they are going to stick.The tongue is clearly very flexible, why can't it speak well?

"Sorry to wake you up." I glanced at the Chinese tortoise with its head shrunk in the glass tank, and I said, "Let me take a look at the little grass."

He stared at me quietly for a long while, and he should have gradually come to his senses, realizing that I was not his hallucination, so he hurriedly got up, but I stepped forward and held him down.

"Don't get up, go on to sleep, I'll be leaving later."

He looked up at me in a sitting posture: "Do you want to take it away?"

Leaning my body against the desk behind me, I smiled and said, "Don't go, have you forgotten? My house is preparing for renovation. Because I was bitten by a dog before, I have been delaying it. The wound has healed in the past few days, and it is time to start construction." gone."

Let's stay at the hotel then, so that even if I'm with Ji Chenfeng, I won't be afraid that Xu Xi and Tang Bian will suddenly come to my apartment.

However, there seems to be no five-star hotel near here or Ji Chenfeng's house, which is a headache.

"Why didn't you say anything that day and left? You haven't contacted me these days, are you angry?" The hand that had been pressing on the shoulder raised, and the thumb gently stroked the red mark on the side of Ji Chenfeng's face. His lips moved away, and when he recovered, his fingertips unconsciously poked in a little.

Ji Chenfeng tilted his head to avoid my entanglement.

"No."

Do you really like it or hate it?If Zhou Jiyu dared to lie to me, he would die.

"Are you... shy?" His fingers touched the back of his neck, and that area quickly became hot. Under the white light, even a little pink could be seen from the front of his skin.

In retrospect, I did have a bit of a bad night, but it wasn't impossible.

"Are you tired? Relax." I bent down, leaned close to his ear, and while exhaling into his ear, my fingers landed on the waistband of his trousers accurately.

The mouth is an obstacle that is absolutely impossible to overcome, but the hand can be borrowed from him for the time being.In a small office where someone could enter at any time to have an affair, if someone heard a strange voice, his face should be very bright.

"Your body..." The breathing in my ear suddenly sank, Ji Chenfeng grabbed my hand and stopped my movement, so strong that it even made my bones ache.If you want to withdraw, you are not allowed.

What are you doing?

Ji Chenfeng's upper body tilted back a little, and he was able to meet my gaze.

Looking at me with dark eyes, his tone was a bit colder than usual.

"Your body stinks."
