The selfish gene

"What are you looking at?"

Monica poked her head over from behind and stared at my phone screen curiously.

I quietly exited the mailbox, put the phone in my pocket, and looked back at her.

"You are so rude."

Monica didn't take it seriously at all: "I saw it, he is a cool handsome guy, have you changed your orientation?"

Monica is 24 years old this year and has a proud height of 178 cm. If she stepped on a pair of [-]cm high heels, she would be almost as tall as me.She is one of the most popular female models in my aunt's company. She is of mixed Italian and Danish descent. Her rare red hair and sporadic freckles make her very popular with sports brands, and she will be booked almost as soon as there is a schedule.

Although she grew up abroad, she is very good at Chinese. She even gave herself a Chinese name, "Yang Yuhuan".If it wasn't for later knowing that this beauty died in her thirties, fearing that she would be in trouble, she might still be forcing people to call her Yuhuan.

"I don't even like men if you like them." I said coldly.

What Monica had just glimpsed was a summary of Ji Chenfeng's current situation sent by a private detective.A photo of the other party's life was attached inside, which looked like a model card, which caused her misunderstanding.

Although Yan Shanhua and I are mother and son by blood, we can be said to be complete strangers. For 25 years, she has never appeared in my life, so how could I easily trust her and put all my important future on her mouth?

Since three years ago, I hired a professional private investigator to monitor her and Ji Chenfeng.Every week, the detective agency will collect the two people's whereabouts, friendship, etc. into a book and send it to me by email.

Yan Shanhua thought I didn't know about Ji Chenfeng's graduation internship, but in fact, even the day Ji Chenfeng got his internship salary, I bought a small cake to celebrate with her. .

"That's not necessarily true." Monica walked around to me and sat down, "You can't last long with those women, maybe it's because you didn't find the 'model' right."

Unable to see me doing nothing all day, eating and dying, my aunt Xu Xi arranged for me to be a manager in her modeling agency "Alia", so that I could look decent in front of Sang Zhengbai, Take less scolding.

I don't need to be on duty every day, and I don't need to participate in any decision-making and operation of the company.Sometimes Xu Xi would ask me to sit in front of the computer to help me look at the model cards and choose the models to be signed.She kept saying that although I am not a very good person, I have a unique eye for picking beauties, which is very unique.

"Doesn't it feel disgusting to do it with the same body as my own?" I said with some distaste.

Although it is an idle job, but because of my identity, from top to bottom in Alia, I either stay away from me or flatter me.Only Monica dared to joke with me, and dared to make colored jokes.Part of the reason, even though it's her nature, but the main reason is - she is Xu Xi's same-sex lover.Really, the kind of lover who would kiss and go to bed.

If I were more filial, I could call her "Little Uncle".

"It's different." Monica grasped the two balls of air in front of her chest with both hands, and said in a proud tone that I didn't want to understand, "Lisa's breasts are bigger than mine, super soft!"

For a brief moment, I felt that she was really an annoying American cockroach-no creature can make people so frightened by the sound of their wings alone.

Before I could think about how to comment on her speech, a thick folder knocked her head aside. "Touch" the ground with a loud sound.

Xu Xi stood behind us at some point, his red lips were pursed, and his face was full of anger.

"The photographer has been waiting for you for a long time, and you are very happy chatting here. Is it because I have arranged too little work for you?"

Monica covered her head with a painful expression, and stood up without daring to stay for a moment: "Oh, I thought it wasn't time yet. I'll go right away, I'll go right away, don't be angry!" trot all the way away.

Facing the girl who disappeared around the corner, he shook his head helplessly, Xu Xi withdrew his gaze and turned to me.

I thought she was going to settle the blame just now, and just as I was about to remind her that it was her little lover who talked about the 18 ban first, I heard the other party say: "I heard you fired the psychiatrist again?"

Xu Xi has a gorgeous appearance, exudes the charm of a mature woman, and has two completely different styles from Monica's sunny girl.

Although she is called "little aunt", she is actually only ten years older than me. She is my mother in name and the youngest sister of Mrs. Sang.Because of sexual orientation, apart from me and Sang Zhengbai, it is almost equivalent to cutting off contact with my family members.

"I'm not sick, see a psychiatrist." I glanced at her, and clicked on the half-watched movie on my phone.

"It's useless for you and me to think so. You have to think so too. If you can get rid of your temper tantrum and stop getting into trouble, maybe he won't force you to see a doctor again."

"What he wants is not a son." I laughed and pointed out sharply, "What he wants is a perfect replica that is exactly like him. This replica must not have any emotional fluctuations. It must be calm and wise at all times, and have the ability to be like a robot. smirk."

Since I was a child, I have never satisfied him.I used to think that he was too harsh, but now that I think about it, I think it is my own problem.I'm not his kind, so I can't meet his expectations no matter what.If it was changed to Ji Chenfeng, maybe it would be a different result.

"Okay, let's not mention him. It's rare for you to come to the company and have lunch with us at noon?" Xu Xi changed the subject.

"No, I have an appointment this afternoon."

"Have you got a girlfriend again?"

In her eyes, I may only become busy when I have company by my side.I would really like to meet the needs of those women, but unfortunately not this time.

"No, I'm going to take my tortoise to the doctor."

Her footsteps towards the desk stopped abruptly as if they were suddenly stuck by glue, her expression was full of indescribable weirdness.

"Your... turtle?"

Yes, my tortoise.

I packed the palm-sized Chinese tortoise into a courier box and brought it to the pet hospital where Ji Chenfeng was.

There were several men and women with their own pets sitting in the waiting area like me. Maybe the waiting time was too long and boring. Two young girls who had never met before gradually chatted together.

"Did you find it on the Internet too? Me too. I heard that the doctors here are very good and even exotic pets can see them, so I brought my little fox here to show you." The girl in white patted the vine on her knee. box way.

"I have been paying attention to the official account of their hospital. The science popularization they usually do is very professional, and the doctor's speech is also clear and logical. Especially the new doctor Ji, wow, have you seen him? Positive face, super handsome, handsome and professional." The girl in the pink skirt said that she was excited, and the decibels were a little higher.

This small pet hospital actually has an official account?It is really the era of network big data, everything needs to be data.

Xu Xi was still muttering a few days ago, should he also open an official account and post some daily videos of the modeling industry online.One is to earn some popularity, and the other is to engage in popular science, so that people who don’t know the truth always think that entering the model circle is like entering Pansidong, and there are goblins everywhere.

The two girls called their number after a while, and left one after the other.I took out my mobile phone and searched several keywords in rotation, and quickly found the official accounts of "White Acorn Pet Hospital" on various platforms.

Put on the wireless earphones, and click on the video with the most views - the protagonist is Ji Chenfeng and a white cat with pirate eyes.

The white cat has a well-proportioned body without a trace of stray hair. The intact eye is pure blue, and the other eye has a slightly sunken eye socket with a hideous scar.The eyeball must have been damaged, and surgery was performed to remove it.

In the video, Ji Chenfeng is lying on his back on a reclining chair, his head is tilted to the other side of the screen, his chest is slowly rising and falling, and he seems to be asleep.

The white long-haired cat that seemed to be of Persian cat blood walked towards him with graceful steps, looked up for a while, kicked its hind legs, and easily jumped into the arms of the man above.

Ji Chenfeng was awakened by its weight, and his face, which was not covered by a mask, appeared in the video without warning.Impressive deep eyebrows, thin lips that bring a sense of coolness, and a clean and sharp mandible line form a masculine face with full visual impact.

He frowned, sleepy.I thought he would be angry, but I would be angry.But he didn't even complain, just lowered his eyes, hugged the white cat on his lap as if he was used to it, pressed his lips to its head, and rubbed his chin against its ears, doing things that didn't match his appearance at all things.

The white cat's long tail gently swept across the man's arm, and its head was resting on the other's neck. It was not difficult to see the posture of wanting to stick the whole cat on the man's body - it was very excited.

Ji Chenfeng kissed the white cat for a while, maybe because he was too sleepy, he hugged it and fell back to the position just now.The white cat curled up on his chest docilely, without struggling, and closed its eyes comfortably.The two are like a pair of lingering lovers, cuddling each other and falling asleep.

【Mom, I'm in love! 】

[I knocked someone out, help me! 】

【People shouldn't, at least they can't...】

[Doctor Ji's face is so good at beating, I would trade ten catties of my body in exchange for being held in his arms and kissed on the forehead! 】

[I make a rooster cry! !The 70-year-old grandma next door thought it was dawn! 】

[Who can refuse Brother Ku's love?who can? !Even our always cold captain has fallen!The kitten really is also a face control! 】

This isn't even a popular science video, what's so interesting about Ji Chenfeng sleeping with a cat in his arms?

I didn't understand, so I went back and read it again, and this time I blocked all the barrage.After the bullet screen that blocked the screen disappeared, even the slightly upward curve of Ji Chenfeng's lips became clear.

I originally thought that the cool-looking looks were not suitable for smiling, but I didn't expect him to have a "winter warm sun" tone when he smiled.If he submits his resume to Xu Xi, I will most likely let her sign him, and then send him to shoot the men's windbreaker advertisement for the autumn and winter series.

Why does a guy who was raised by a nanny, grew up in a slum, was bullied, and was called an ugly nickname, have such a smile?

What is there to be happy about in a life where you have no money, no power, and can't even pay for 30 yuan for surgery?

I paused the video and fixed it on the scene where Ji Chenfeng picked up the cat and smiled slightly.

Maybe it was deliberately staged for the sake of data...

"Is this Mr. Sang?"

Noticing the hand waving in front of my eyes, I took off the earphones.

"It's me, have you called me yet?" I put away my phone and stood up holding the paper box.

"Yes, please come with me." The nurse led me to the other end of the corridor, "You made an appointment with Dr. Ji, right? The pet you saw was a Chinese tortoise, right?"

"Correct."

"Dr. Ji is our internet celebrity doctor. Many people have made appointments with him recently." The nurse smiled.

I followed the nurse's guidance and entered the consulting room numbered "3".

"Doctor Ji, Chinese tortoise, age is about eight years old, male, symptoms are not eating, lack of energy." The nurse gave the information form I registered before to the young man in the room and left the consultation room.

The other party glanced at the board, then poked out his masked face from behind the computer, and whispered my name: "Sang... read?"

The voice is deep and pleasant, which matches his appearance very well, but the pitch is very strange, just like Monica, not completely out of tune, but not so standard.

"it's me."

He stopped his gaze on my face for a moment, nodded, put down the board, and turned to the computer: "What's the pet's name?"

I put the express box on the table: "Xiaocao."

This is the first time in several years that the turtle has had such an official name.On weekdays, only Tang Bian would call him "Little Turtle" affectionately. Sometimes when I am in a good mood, I would call him "Little Bastard".

After confirming the name, Ji Chenfeng stood up and stretched out his hand into the box.

His approach made it easy for me to smell his faint scent, not perfume, not even shower gel, more like... the smell of large bars of laundry soap that can be seen everywhere in hospitals.

Cheap, and a little bitter.It's a smell I hate.

Ji Chenfeng gently picked up the turtle in the box, and carefully inspected it in front of me.His slender fingers stroked every piece of carapace and torso of the tortoise, not letting go of any suspicious lesions.

His reaction didn't seem fake, it seems that Yan Shanhua didn't tell him my identity.He may know that someone has lent 30 to their mother and child, but he doesn't know who it is.

He must still be grateful for the "good-hearted person" who helped him up to now, thinking about returning the money to the other party as soon as possible.Who knows that "good-hearted people" don't care about his 30 yuan, but only hope that he will die soon.

Having said that, it took three years to repay the 30 yuan, and Ji Chenfeng planned to repay it for another two years. The job of a veterinarian does not seem to be very lucrative.It's better to be a model and accept two more advertisements, maybe it will be paid off in a month.

Just give Yan Shanhua a sum of money and ask her to send Ji Chenfeng abroad to continue his studies, so as not to worry me when he stays in China...

"Can you...don't keep staring at me?" Ji Chenfeng turned the tortoise over and continued to check its plastron. When speaking, he just glanced towards me, and then gently returned to the original place.

I froze for a moment, then realized that he was talking to me.

"Sorry, it's the first time I saw a real person, I lost my composure." With a smile on my face, I stepped back a little, and distanced myself from each other to reduce my sense of oppression.

He didn't respond, I don't know if he didn't care or didn't bother to pay attention.

Seeing that the other party's attention was all on the turtle, the corners of my lips dropped back a little.

Displeased.Maybe he's just not used to being stared at, but at this moment, whatever he says sounds harsh to me.

What's more...she is obviously a pervert who likes men, why pretend to be inviolable?
