The selfish gene

Xu's family is well-off, and both daughters have received the best education since they were young.Xu Wanyi met Sang Zhengbai during college, and the two shared similar interests and soon got together.

Later, when it came to marriage, everything went smoothly. The two elders of the Xu family appreciated Sang Zhengbai's talent and helped him a lot in his entrepreneurial journey.

Xu Wanyi is not the woman behind Sang Zhengbai, she prefers to fight side by side with her husband to overcome difficulties.It can be said that the success of Sang Zhengbai's career cannot be separated from the Xu family, nor can it be separated from Xu Wanyi.

However, as she grows older, having children has become a difficult problem that Xu Wanyi has to face.The birth of the second elder of the Xu family, as well as the anxiety brought about by her own age, made her finally decide to conceive and have a child at the age of 35.

It's a pity that fate tricks people, and the luck of the first 35 years seems to be exhausted overnight.It may be due to the reason of giving birth at an advanced age, or it may be simply bad luck, one life for another, Xu Wanyi finally failed to get off the delivery bed.What's more terrible is that misfortunes never come singly, Sang Zhengbai's business also had problems at this time.

Most people in business are a little superstitious, perhaps this also explains why Sang Zhengbai has always been strict with me but not loving - he can't afford to love this child who has restrained his father and mother since birth.

After the nanny abuse incident, realizing that Sang Zhengbai was slacking off on me, Xu Xi strongly urged my parents to take me into the Xu family to take care of me.The original intention was good, but the result was not as expected.

After experiencing the pain of bereavement in middle age, the health of the two old people is not as good as before, and there is no extra energy to spend on me.Plus... Maybe it's because they think of my daughter when they see me. In my memory, they are always very sad when they face me, and they rarely smile.Mrs. Xu can't even stay with me for too long, or she will cry.

How did you understand the twists and turns in the adult world when you were young?The more they disliked me, the more I felt that I was not doing well enough.In order to please them, I redoubled my studies and actively participated in various school activities, just to make them look at me more after I gained glory.

I remember that one year I won the "School Star" award.This award should not only refer to the usual grades, but also refer to the participation rate of the activity. Only one person in each grade can get it, which is very rare.When I got this award at the end of the term, I was so excited that I went straight back to Sang's house with the certificate, and then I was looking forward to Sang Zhengbai's return all day long.

It was not until late at night that Sang Zhengbai came back slowly from outside while making phone calls.I was about to fall asleep waiting, and immediately rushed downstairs when I heard the noise, and waited anxiously at the entrance.

Holding the certificate of award tightly in his hand, the moment he stepped into the gate, he mustered up the courage to step forward.

"Dad, look, I got the 'School Star'!" I tried my best to restrain my tone, so as not to look so proud and complacent, but the corners of my lips could not fall down.

Sang Zhengbai covered the phone and looked down at me.

"Well, not bad." He just glanced at the certificate in my hand in a hurry, and then he passed me to discuss business with the person on the other end of the phone, "It's okay, let's continue..."

I spent a hard-earned award for a semester, endured sleepiness and waited for him all night, but he didn't even give it to me for a minute.

Maybe I should thank him for not leaving at a glance, at least he rewarded me with three words.But to be honest, at that time, apart from disappointment, there was no other emotion at all.Looking at his back, I clearly realized for the first time that there are some things that I can't get no matter how hard I try.

I went back to Xu's house the next day, and what greeted me was the same empty and lonely mansion.Only through the workers did they know that the two elders of the Xu family had left a few days ago to visit Xu Xi who was studying abroad.They could have told me in advance, but they chose to use the worst way to inform me.

During the process of growing up, I seemed to lack everything. I was very rich, but I also seemed to lack everything. I was so poor... I never even had a real "home".

Sang's house and Xu's house are just my temporary residence, no different from my apartment or hotel suite.Just like the chicks are hatched and grow up in the nest, the nest is just a place for the parents to raise them for the chicks.On the day they leave the nest, they will not have any nostalgia, nor will they want to go back again.

There are no curtains in the bubble house, which means that when the sun rises and the first rays of sunlight shine into the forest, I am destined to wake up in the harsh sunlight.

Opening his eyes uncomfortably, under the dim light, at first sight, he saw Ji Chenfeng sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed, facing the direction of the sunrise.

It might be that the bathrobe was dirty last night and he couldn't wear it anymore. He changed back into his own clothes. He didn't know what time he woke up, but he was sure he had been awake for a while.

The rising sun was brighter than yesterday's setting sun, rising slowly from the horizon, coating his body with a layer of warm gold.

I stared at his back for a moment, and sat up from the bed.There was a strange soreness in the thigh muscles, and when the quilt was lifted, the hem of the shirt, the outside of the legs, and the position near the waist and hips, the eye-catching bruises on the skin were simply impossible to ignore.

Hearing the movement, Ji Chenfeng moved and looked behind him.I put down the quilt as if nothing had happened, and showed him a lazy smile in the morning after the incident.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

He pointed to a tree above our heads: "I woke up when I heard the birds."

It seemed that I did hear birdsong when I fell asleep, but because my brain was too tired, it didn't wake me up.Thinking about it this way, this may be one of the culprits for my intermittent sleep.

"Did you not pick it last night?" I pointed to my ear.

Since he can hear birds, it means that he didn't have a cochlear implant when he went to bed last night.But this thing is an electronic device after all, and you wear it when you sleep, won't it be uncomfortable?

Ji Chenfeng raised his hand and pressed the black instrument on the pinna, and explained: "I brought a spare battery, and the power is enough, so I didn't take it off. I don't want to...you can't hear anything when you call me."

The heart beat chaotically as if it was about to explode. Since it was an unprecedented feeling, one could not help but wonder if it was a precursor to sudden death.

Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, this terrible palpitation disappeared, and the heart beat orderly again, without any trace of the disorder.

It must be caused by lack of sleep.He silently pressed his chest.Looks like it's time for a medical checkup.Although one trouble after another, I don't want to die so early.

"Ask the front desk to deliver breakfast. We'll go back to the city after we're done." I got off the bed and stepped on the carpet with only a shirt on. clothing.

Not a veterinarian or a model, he is actually quite suitable as a nanny.Can cook, has a high degree of education, a medical background, and a good temper... There should be many employers who would be interested in such a pleasing "little nanny".

After grabbing my pants, I entered the bathroom under Ji Chenfeng's gaze.

Taking off the shirt in front of the mirror, one can clearly see bright hickey marks on the neck and collarbone.

The memory in my mind is revived little by little under the stimulation of vision.If we talk about the previous two "in-depth exchanges", Ji Chenfeng still maintained a basic gentleman's demeanor in front of me. External, savage bestiality.

It was okay at the beginning, I enjoyed his service unilaterally, in the dark forest, under the bright starry sky, the experience can be said to be unparalleled.

In view of being too nice, when carelessly touching his cheeks and earlobes, he almost accidentally knocked off his cochlear implant.

As if he had expected it long ago, he grabbed my palm in time and pulled it away from his cheek, and handed it to his water-colored lips.

"Don't touch it anymore..." He gently kissed my fingertips, and said in a voice as sticky as honey, "I want to hear your voice, any voice."

My fingers were so hot that they almost burned, and I couldn't even tell whether the astonishing temperature came from me or Ji Chenfeng.

"Continue..." The voice was hoarse, I pulled out my fingers, and I pressed the back of his neck, being careful not to touch his ears this time.

The body is slightly hot from the memory, and it will be troublesome to think about it.

Trying hard to force myself not to look back, but maybe the memory of last night is too fresh, even if the vision is blocked, it can be easily recalled through touch.

As soon as the finger touched the thigh along the water flow of the shower, the corresponding memory jumped out.

After enjoying Ji Chenfeng's service, I originally wanted to lend my hands as I did in the car last time, and reciprocate courtesy.However, just touching the corner of his clothes, he pressed his shoulders and pushed her onto the bed.

I thought I was going to do it again, although I was a little tired, but I didn't want to be underestimated in this respect, so I didn't stop it.There is nothing wrong with the previous steps. Ji Chenfeng took good care of all aspects. Except for the strength in his hands and the over-enthusiasm of my gracilis, there are basically no other faults.

His posture, his long-term performance made me let my guard down, and it turned out that he made an inch of it.Hands are already a gift to him, but he dared to think about my legs.

Realizing what he was trying to do by putting my legs together, I kicked them subconsciously.

This position, this almost womanizing position... makes me feel disgusted and humiliated.

My heart was bursting with obscenities, but the ankle was accurately grabbed by the other party again.During the day, he didn't even know how to dodge other people's fists, but now he's able to catch every one.

"Is it not possible?" Ji Chenfeng knelt at the end of the bed, looked down at me, and asked in a normal tone.

is it not OK?

His chest was heaving angrily, thinking that this is obvious, and his brain is damn rational, knowing that if he vehemently refuses at this time, then the "strategy" of Ji Chenfeng for so long can basically be declared to be in vain. .

The first time you can still say that you are not used to it, but if you reject me like this the second time, he will definitely doubt me, right?Doubt why I can't accept men, but still provoke him.

Hold.It seems that he has pushed himself into a situation from which there is no way to retreat.

"First...let me go." After a moment of stalemate, I still reluctantly compromised for the sake of the overall situation.

Wood rubbed against wood, and humans have had fire since then.Skin rubs against skin for an amazing burn.

The scorching breath on the neck, the arms around the waist, the feeling is still very vivid.

When I'm with women, I especially hate it when they touch my cigarette scars, but since they're all on the back of the body, there's not much chance of that.But once he turned his back to Ji Chenfeng, it meant exposing the scars in front of him.

Originally thought that the light was dim, so he shouldn't be able to see it, but who knew he could touch it.

After the indulgence, he dropped his entire weight on my back.Of course, I can easily support this weight at ordinary times, but after two rounds at that time, I was also a little exhausted, so I fell into the bed along with my strength.

Through the shirt, a strong, even noisy heartbeat was transmitted, beating on my back like a drum.

I can't remember how long it's been since I've been this close to someone. The feeling isn't bad, it's just... so hot.It was hot and heavy.

"I can't breathe anymore." My face was buried in the soft quilt, I let go of the sheet I had been holding on to, and I was too lazy to gather any strength.

The weight on my body became much lighter in the next second, Ji Chenfeng rubbed the back of my ear, and said in a satisfied and happy voice: "Sorry."

After speaking, he turned over and lay down next to me.

Without the oppression of the big polar bear, breathing became smoother.What's even more amazing is that I don't know whether it was under the influence of alcohol or due to physical exhaustion, I actually slowly accumulated drowsiness.

Maintaining the prone position, the eyelids could not stop fighting up and down.I can feel Ji Chenfeng's palm lingering on my flesh like caressing a small animal, a little itchy and annoying.

"How did this come about?" His fingertips rubbed the cigarette scars on my waist and buttocks with some strength, the first, second, and third... as if just by touch, He memorized the location of each of them perfectly.

"This..." The drowsiness softened the thorns that should have been angry, and also washed away the unhappiness of being mentioned the pain point, "It was done by a bad woman, a very bad, very bad woman..."

The memories after that are all kinds of vague dreams that I can't remember clearly.I remember being chased by a tiger for a long time. I was so tired from running that I couldn't run anymore. I was thrown down by a huge beast and brutally bit my legs off.

Watching horror movies and becoming the protagonist of horror movies are not the same thing at all.Although I have been having all kinds of weird dreams since insomnia, such nightmares are still a minority.I hope there will be no more next time.

When the shower gel was rubbed on my back, my fingers felt some strange tactile sensations. Several places seemed to be swollen, and there was still pain when pressed.

Turning around, looking at the meat on the buttocks, the clear crimson tooth marks came into view.I checked several places in a row, and it was the same.

After washing off the foam on my body, I came to the mirror, took a bath towel to wipe off the water droplets on my body, and turned my back.

Sure enough, the places where there were smoke scars on his body were covered with bite marks.Although I hate these scars, it is not difficult to get rid of them with current medical technology.However, the mere thought of being touched by strangers, and the rich associations they might have about me, stopped there.

I never thought that they could be covered in this way, it was like Ji Chenfeng's personal brand.

Not even angry.Even I was surprised.However, it only makes sense to be angry at the moment when something happens. Now that it has become a fact, it is bitten, and it will not help to be angry again.

Putting on my clothes, I walked out of the bathroom, the dining table was already filled with a hearty breakfast, Ji Chenfeng was neither at the dining table nor in the bedroom.

Have you been outside yet?

The air outside the house is colder. It doesn't matter if you wear a coat. As soon as you walk out of the bubble house, you can't help shivering because of the huge temperature difference.

Soon I found Ji Chenfeng, he was standing in the bushes beside the platform, holding something in his hand, he didn't pay attention to my coming.

"Doctor Ji?" I walked towards him, "What did you catch?" Seeing the fluffy, red lump in his hand, I thought he had caught something.

Ji Chenfeng turned to me, and carefully handed the thing in his hand to me.

"It wasn't caught."

I took a closer look and it turned out to be a bird.

"This should be a red-headed quetzal born this summer. Its flying skills are still very immature. It just accidentally hit our bubble house. Fortunately, I checked, and the neck and wings are fine, just fell off Sometimes I was a little scared and a little dizzy."

Squatting in his palm, the little bird with bright red feathers and long tail blinked its dark eyes, and kept tilting its head to look at me curiously, as if it hadn't realized what the behemoth standing in front of it was.Looking at it, I was really a little dazed.

"It looks quite unique." I commented.

Maybe it was enough rest, the bird started flapping its wings.

"This family of birds is good at climbing, but not very good at flying, so they will not migrate, and will stay in this land where they were born for the rest of their lives." As he spoke, Ji Chenfeng walked away from the path and the bubble house Under the huge tree canopy, one hand was naturally stretched out, the palm was spread out, and she waited quietly.

Putting my hands in my trouser pockets, I thought of the scene of birds flying I saw on TV before, and asked, "Just wait, don't you need to throw it to help fly?"

The wind blew through the treetops, causing the position of the sunlight to continuously change, and when it fell on Ji Chenfeng, there was an illusion that the sunlight was caressing him.

"It's actually easy to cause secondary damage to the birds, so that's fine." He said, "They will fly by themselves."

Before the words were finished, the red bird fluttered away in an instant. Although it was not good at flying, it disappeared in the forest in a blink of an eye.

Ji Chenfeng squinted his eyes and looked at the direction where the bird was leaving. After confirming that it would not fall again for no reason, he turned his gaze back to me.

"Where is it going?" I asked casually.

I didn't want to get a clear scientific answer, but I was just looking for a topic to discuss with Ji Chenfeng.

Ji Chenfeng thought for a while and said, "Maybe I will go home."

Come back home?

"Does the concept of home exist for the little bird?"

"Tired birds return to their nests and people return home. The nests that the birds return to when they are tired, the branches where they perch, and the caves where they rest are their homes. Woods, mountains, rivers, and streams can also be their homes. This land embraces everything and loves Every living thing. The little bird is its child, and it is the home of the little bird." He paused, and concluded in a very rigorous tone, "So, the little bird should have a home."

Is heaven and earth home...

I thought the birds, like me, were always looking for the next branch to land on, and it turned out that they had a home.Rather, I am small.

"Doctor Ji really likes small animals." Touching the wound on his face lightly.Because of washing his hair yesterday, the band-aid on his face was also scrapped. Fortunately, after one night, the glaring blood color has disappeared, and the remaining redness and swelling should be healed in two days.

It may be a little painful, he frowned uncontrollably, I thought he was going to avoid it, but the next second his face was rubbing against my palm.

"Occasionally... I like humans." When he said the last four words, just like the little bird just now, he raised his eyelids and looked at me with extremely innocent appearance and extremely ambiguous tone.

With each deeper intimacy, Ji Chenfeng became more and more clingy to me.Although sometimes he still appears too indifferent and dull due to the defense mechanism, but as long as he grasps the rules and sees through the surface to the heart, he will find that he is actually quite easy to think about.

After admiring his docile appearance for a while, I took my hand away from his face and went to hold his hand instead.

"Come on, let's go in for dinner, it's a bit cold outside." Then, I dragged him to the bubble house.

On the second day after returning from the bubble house, the hotel suite I stayed in welcomed its first guest—Ji Chenfeng, the director of their hospital, Wu Rong.

"Small care, it's not a respect, I hope you like it." Sitting opposite, Dean Wu slowly pushed a box of high-end refreshments towards me.

I glanced over and said lightly, "You're welcome."

"Actually, I should have come to visit you a long time ago. The last time a puppy in our hospital accidentally bit you, I should have come. But I was on a business trip at that time, so I was delayed." Dean Wu said with a smile, "This time you have to save the siege, and it happens to be together twice. It is an apology and a thank you."

I really don't know him well, and we looked at each other after a few words, and the atmosphere was awkward.

"Then I won't bother you..." Dean Wu smiled dryly, making a gesture to get up.

"Dean Wu." I called to stop him.

Dean Wu paused and sat down again.

"You say."

With my arms crossed, I stared at him for a long time, until the smile on his face gradually became difficult to maintain, and the doubts in his eyes became more and more intense.

I said slowly: "If the doctor does not perform well during the internship, you can choose not to hire him, right?"

"Uh... that's the truth."

"How is Ji Chenfeng's performance?"

"Dr. Ji is very professional, and he is very patient with small animals. The guests of the pet hospital also think highly of him." He seemed to have misunderstood something, "Don't worry. Anesthesia accidents are things that no one wants to happen, Ji The doctor has tried his best to rescue the kitten. The cat was not rescued, he may be the most uncomfortable person besides the pet owner. I have been practicing medicine for so many years, and I understand that it will not be because of a An accident will cause some deviation in his personal evaluation."

Dean Wu smiled and said, "I've already planned to shorten the internship period and hired him in advance."

I nodded, noncommittal: "Dean Wu, do you like money?"

He was obviously taken aback, and the doubt that had just subsided appeared on his face again.

"……what do you mean?"

"How much money does it take to bribe Dean Wu to do something that is neither illegal nor too difficult?"

The other party is at this age, and he is in a business like running a hospital that requires constant contact with people, so he quickly heard that there was something in my words.

He hissed and said, "Smart people don't speak secretly, you should just tell me what you want me to do."

This is good for talking to smart people, it can save a lot of unnecessary tongue.

"Then I'll just say it directly. How much will it cost Dr. Ji to fail the internship?"

Dean Wu blinked, looking rather shocked.He might never have thought that I would make such a weird request.

Indeed, as a friend, you really shouldn't play tricks behind your back like this.But... I am not Ji Chenfeng's friend.

"Let's make an offer." I smiled at him for the first time since today.

After Wu Rong left, I walked to the huge French window and dialed Yan Shanhua's cell phone.

After a few rings, Yan Shanhua picked it up, and it took a long time to say "Hello".

Facing her fearful voice, I turned a deaf ear to her and told her briefly why I called her.

"Do you want to make it up to me?" A blurred reflection of me appeared on the clean glass, my complexion was excessively pale caused by years of sleep deprivation, and my long and narrow eyes were lifeless except for being cold.This is a...to put it nicely, rebellious, and to put it bluntly, a face that is always on the verge of anger.

"No matter what reason you use, tell Ji Chenfeng that you need money, a lot of money, and let him come to me."
