The selfish gene

For more than [-] years, I have never thought of celebrating my own birthday. Once I had a whim, I ended up in the police station.

The boy's name was Cheng Tao after questioning. He is 13 years old today. As he said, he has a sister who is two years younger than him and a father who is paralyzed in bed.The mother abandoned them two years ago and left this hopeless place, and has been missing since.He was young and couldn't find any decent jobs. He usually lived by picking up bottles and digging through trash cans. Occasionally... he did some petty theft.

"I don't dare, don't arrest me, I can't go to jail..." The boy sat on the interrogation chair in the interrogation room with silver handcuffs on his hands, wiping his tears with his arms, "I'm going to prison... My sister and dad will die... Please let me go... I just want to get some change... buy, buy a card for my sister..."

The young police officer sighed softly at the boy, and closed the door of the inquiry room.

"He is less than fourteen years old, and we have nothing to do with him. We can only admonish him, scare him, and lock him up for 24 hours." He guided us to go out, and he explained to us in a low voice, "This kind of Children, there are too many here. We will contact relevant organizations to help them, but it is not up to us to decide whether they are willing to accept help and whether they can correct themselves. I hope that we will not meet him here again in the future.”

The young policeman sent us all the way to the gate, patted Ji Chenfeng on the shoulder before parting, and said "thank you" to him.

Until I sat in the sports car whose windows were smashed again, I still didn't figure out why this was something to be thankful for, and who was the young policeman thanking for.he himself?Or that kid?

The wind poured in from the broken car window, and it was useless to turn on the heater. We could only reduce the speed of the car as much as possible to relieve the chill.

"I thought he was lying. I didn't expect there to be a father and a sister." Thinking about the two children who smashed on my window last time, one was Cheng Tao, and the other was his sister.

Wool stared at one, and the car window caught one and smashed it.Will such a little bastard really change his ways after being locked up all night, scared out of his wits?

"I... met him and his sister on the road before. I wanted to give them some money to buy food, but they didn't want it." The passenger seat was covered with shards of glass, so I let Ji Chenfeng sit in the back row, This way the wind can't blow him.

"Why not?"

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid others will look down on me."

I sneered: "Smashing car windows and stealing money will make people look up to you?"

"No. So he must be punished. If he can't be scared, he will go too far and eventually lose control and become a cancer of the city."

With a heartbeat, I raised my eyes to look in the rearview mirror. When Ji Chenfeng in the mirror said these words, he looked out of the window with a very calm expression on his face, without any regrets, nor did he pretend to be righteous.He just does his best, doing what he can and can do.It's not to get someone's gratitude, let alone to save someone.

It's not about anyone but...his own principles.

Indifferent and gentle, innocent and wild, kind and ruthless.This guy may not be sure that his previous life was really a snow mountain.

When angry, a dangerous blizzard blows, but when you are in a good mood, the snow will pass.He will freeze to death the humans who don't respect him, but he will take good care of the small animals on the snow mountain.Occasionally, when I meet a climber who is pleasing to the eye, I invite them to climb the mountain together, whether the other party is willing or not.

"If their mother hadn't abandoned them, maybe they wouldn't have had such a miserable life. Doctor Ji, have you ever resented your biological parents? If they hadn't abandoned you, you should be able to have a healthy body and not have a hard time." You have to work so hard." Carefully brought the topic from Cheng Tao to Ji Chenfeng, insinuating his views on his own life experience.

"'Abandonment' might seem like a serious crime to those on the outside, but it's so commonplace in the City of the Flies, we have a hard time keeping people who want to leave. Resentment can't change my body, it can't make my mother heal. And… ..." After only two words, the following words stopped and disappeared between his lips and teeth.

The car stopped slowly, and the police station was only two kilometers away from Ji Chenfeng's house, and they arrived in a short while.The road ahead still glistens with fresh shards of glass, a reminder of the crimes that took place here not so long ago.

Because it looked like it was raining again, he simply went to the rear compartment to get an umbrella, intending to let Ji Chenfeng go home.

"And what?" Holding the umbrella in one hand, I handed the other hand into the car.

The palm wider than mine came up, and the metacarpal bone on the back of the hand was slightly raised due to the force, which looked extra sexy.

With my strength, Ji Chenfeng stepped out of the car door and stood under the same umbrella with me.

"And, if I wasn't me, I wouldn't be able to meet you." His expression was so calm that for a moment I couldn't even tell if he was flirting with me or if he thought so from the bottom of his heart.

It's just a nice thing to say to please me, right?How can anyone be willing to waste health and wealth just to meet another human being?It's not a TV show.

Tightening the fingers holding the umbrella handle tightly, I looked into Ji Chenfeng's eyes and asked, "Even if I do something to hurt you, won't you regret meeting me?"

"I won't regret it." Hearing this, I somehow felt relieved in my heart, but then Ji Chenfeng added, "But I still hope that you don't do that."

His tone was plain and ordinary, but his back seemed to be held up by a mountain of sharp knives. Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and even his hair felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Fuck, why ask such an inauspicious question?And how do you think it hurt me more?

At least for the past three years, when Yan Shanhua is still alive, I will coax him well, let him sleep for nothing, and spend money.After breaking up, you have to find a lot of reasons not to do it.Even if I did play with his feelings, what kind of harm would it be if I kept him from knowing the truth for the rest of my life?

In the coldest month in Hongshi, I parachuted into the investment promotion department of my shopping mall, and started a busy and boring daily shift.

I say busy because the end of the year is approaching, and various brands have sent invitations to the dinner one after another, thanking us for the services we have provided over the past year.I couldn't get rid of it, so I had to go to the banquet every day.

I say it's boring because the Investment Promotion Department has formed its own fixed mode of doing things. Small problems can be solved by looking for the manager or the deputy director. There are very few times when I, the director, are needed.Everyone agreed that I was just here for some gilding, parachuted in, and soon to leave to experience life in another department.The attitude towards me is often respectful and fearful on the surface, and gossip behind my back.

"Master, they are gossiping about you in the tea room again today, saying that your luck is good, and that you can get this position is all due to your father." Tang Bian put the coffee in the tray on the desk, and exchanged information with me in a low voice.

I joined the investment promotion department as a director, and Tang Bi'an became my assistant along with him.But to the outside world, everyone only knows that I am Sang Zhengbai's son, not that he is Tang Zhaoyue's son, and thinks he is a newly recruited college student, so they don't shy away from him.

Thanks to this dog leg, it didn't take long to find out the interpersonal relationship of the entire department.

"It's not wrong." Turning over a page of documents and repeating the action of signing, I raised my chin, pointed to the stack of documents at the corner of the table, and said, "Take those out and divide them."

Tang Bi'an picked up the documents and was about to go out, but turned back and said, "Master, I'm going to Miss Gu's house for dinner tonight, don't forget."

The tip of the pen stuck on the paper, gradually blurring a small ball of ink.I clicked my tongue, removed the pen, and re-signed my name on another blank space.

"understood."

Maybe it was to show the importance she attached to me, or maybe it was to win the trust of my parents. As soon as my car stopped in the garage of Gu Ying’s house, she quickly came out from the door to greet me, took my arm affectionately, and greeted me .

"Have you memorized all the information sent to you?" She asked with a smile.

Each other's date of birth, graduate school, and friends and playmates are the basic information that must be known. In order to avoid revealing the truth, it is needless to say that you should memorize each other in advance.Every week, when she told her parents that she was dating me but was actually with her boyfriend, she also needed to communicate with each other to complete the information.Even where we should go, there are simulation predictions.

"Of course." Although it was troublesome, but when he thought of the benefits he could get from her, he had no choice but to endure it.

The tip of his nose was shaking, he hadn't been outside just now, but as soon as he entered the warm room, he could smell a faint scent of popcorn.

"Did your family make popcorn?"

"Popcorn?" Gu Ying frowned, her face full of doubts.

"Caramel popcorn."

"Ah," she suddenly realized, pinched her collar and sniffed it, and said amusedly, "It's my perfume. My boyfriend likes it very much. It's sweet and it smells very appetizing."

Incomprehensible taste.

Compared to popcorn, I'd rather choose the cheap soap flavor, at least I won't feel that my trachea will be stuck by the viscous industrial saccharin every time I breathe.

After dealing with Gu Ying's parents, it was past nine o'clock when we returned to the hotel, and Ji Chenfeng had already left.There is a note written by him on the table, the grass has been fed, and there are sandwiches in the refrigerator, which can be breakfast tomorrow.

I've been too busy these days, always leaving early and returning late, it feels like I haven't seen him for a long time.

Fumbling for the handwriting on the note, I sent a text message to Ji Chenfeng, asking if he could come and wake me up tomorrow.

Although tomorrow is Saturday, logically he should be resting, but when it comes to work, isn't it the boss who has the final say?

Early the next morning, when Ji Chenfeng entered the suite, I was already awake, and I just lay down on purpose, waiting for his wake-up call.

As a result, he didn't come for a long time, and he didn't know what he was dawdling outside.

What are you doing?If you don't want him to call, he insists on calling, but now that you want him to call, you are procrastinating.Unable to wait any longer, I put on a bathrobe roughly, and gently opened the bedroom door.

The living room was silent, warm and tidy.Through the narrow door, I quickly located Ji Chenfeng, but when I saw what he was doing, my eyes widened slightly.

In the bright morning light, Ji Chenfeng faced me sideways, standing beside the sofa, holding my coat in his hand, completely buried the lower half of his face in the soft fabric, and sniffed deeply.Like a... puppy trying to get settled by its owner's scent.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The hurried doorbell broke the puppy's private time, causing him to look back towards the door in fright, and I also hurriedly closed the bedroom door subconsciously.It was only after I rushed to the bed and lay down again that I came back to my senses... No, why am I hiding?

"... Huh? You, do you live here? Where is Sang Nian?"

My scalp went numb, as if the bed had been electrified. I just lay down and jumped up suddenly. I didn't even have time to tidy up the bathrobe and rushed out with the tie loose.

Damn it, it's all because of Ji Chenfeng, which made me stupid too. How could there be anyone else besides Zheng Jieyuan who rang the bell like this early in the morning?

what to do?What kind of lies do you want to tell to get over Ji Chenfeng's matter?Private veterinarian?Will Zheng Jieyuan believe it?

No matter, it's better to talk about it than to be known as gay.
