born criminal

Despite having insomnia in the middle of the night, Yangzhou got up on time the next morning.Andrew is making breakfast, while D3 is like Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions", "busy with nothing to do", wandering around the villa to inspect.

Yangzhou walked into the kitchen, Andrew looked back at him, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Yang didn't sleep well last night?"

Yang Zhou rubbed his dry eyes and smiled faintly.

Andrew poked his head out and saw D3 disappearing at the corner of the second floor, he hurriedly approached Yangzhou and whispered, "Mr. Jeffrey contacted me just now to ask about our progress."

"Oh," Yang Zhou was not surprised, "What do you say?"

Of course, Andrew told the truth and told Jeffrey that they had made no progress, but unfortunately Jeffrey didn't believe it, and even suspected that Andrew had betrayed.

"He's so mad." Yang Zhou could completely imagine Jeffrey's furious look, and mocked him calmly.

Andrew didn't agree.Although he chose Yangzhou as the commander, he did not fully agree with his approach.Unlike Yangzhou, his value system makes him have a high sense of identity with his police identity, so he is always worried about the task.

"Then what direction do we investigate now?"

Yangzhou felt a little sleepy, leaned against the wall lightly, and thought for a moment: "If you want to conduct an experiment, you must have people, equipment, and a place. The land here is limited, and the laboratory may be built underground. In this case, the search range is limited. Turned into the entire base, the two of us can't do it now. As for people... I haven't heard of biologists in the base, and even if there are, they must be anonymous."

Andrew had thought about these things himself, and now he just sighed and asked again: "So, Mr. Yang, which side are you on?"

Yang Zhou didn't understand for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Rose pie is still Mr. Chen!" Andrew, who had been looking outside the kitchen door, suddenly raised his voice and greeted: "It's really early today."

With his back to the door, Yang Zhou couldn't see the scene behind him, but he heard the sound of D3 sliding down the slope next to the stairs.

"Mr. Chen didn't sleep in late!" D3 rushed to the window of the living room, "I'll go see if the sun has risen from the west today."

"Looking for death." Chen Jianjue pulled on his slippers, kicked and stomped all the way downstairs, picked up a walnut from the coffee table, and smashed it precisely on D3.

With the sound of footsteps approaching the kitchen, Yang Zhou's breathing became light and rapid, and the fingers hanging by his sides curled up unconsciously, and he finally put them into his pockets.

Chen Jian stopped at the door of the kitchen, tilting his head to admire Yang Zhou's back.As long as Yangzhou leaves the bedroom, he is always well-groomed.Today he was wearing a light blue shirt with vertical stripes, the hem was tucked into the iron gray trousers, and he looked tall and straight.Although he is thin, he is not thin. He is the kind of thin body covered with well-proportioned muscles, the kind Chen Jian likes most.

He had seen enough, and then said slowly: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Playing a wooden man."

Yangzhou turned around, the glamor from the kiss last night was gone, it was still plain, like a pool of clear water. "It's so early," he said.

"Get up and have breakfast with you." Chen Jian showed a wicked smile, "I had a dream at night, and I dreamed that you said that eating breakfast alone was too lonely, so I decided to accompany you."

"I'm not lonely." Yang Zhou said, "I've been eating alone for two months."

"Alas," Chen Jian stepped forward, pressed his palm on Yangzhou's shoulder, and followed the rounded arc, stroking it twice, and then patted it lightly, but he was speaking to Andrew who was present. : "Listen, you are poor."

Like the night before, Yangzhou restrained the urge to tremble.He dodged that hand anxiously, squinting at Chen Jian: "Have you had enough?"

"Enough is enough." Chen Jian quickly raised his hands in surrender.

He only lasted a while while molesting Yangzhou, and he started yawning after breakfast was served.

Seeing that his eyelids were about to stick together, Yang Zhou laughed secretly: "Go back to sleep."

Chen Jian shook his head violently to wake himself up, put a spoonful of yam minced meat porridge into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I'm not sleepy, the spirit of the dragon is fierce."

After breakfast, Chen Jian threw himself on the sofa in the living room and did not move.Yangzhou asked Andrew to cover him with a blanket, while he went into the study to kill time.

There is only one window in the study room, and today is a cloudy day with insufficient lighting. Rows of bookshelves stand densely in the dark room, which looks a bit gloomy.

Yang Zhou turned on the light, chose a book at random, and sat on the chair by the window to read it.

Chen Jian's "Leviathan" was still turned upside down on the table next to him, and he hadn't seen an extra page these days. Yang Zhou glanced at it and thought it was really for posturing.

The novel he picked up today was unknown, and after turning through dozens of pages, it made people lose interest.Yang Zhou went back to look at the cover and found that the author was called Zou Yun.His eyes fell on the word "Yun", and he suddenly thought of his mother.

Yang Zhou left the study, walked through the living room, stood on the withered lawn in front of the villa, and called home.

As soon as the connection was made, Zhou Yun's surprised and worried voice came over: "Zhou Zhou, you scared me to death! You haven't contacted my family for more than two months!"

During a mission three years ago, because Zhou Yun suddenly initiated an emergency contact with Yangzhou, Yangzhou's location was exposed and he was almost injured.So from then on, once he was on a mission, his parents never took the initiative to contact him.This time, Yangzhou came to the No. [-] base, and there was no news for two months. Zhou Yun has a cranky personality, and he really suffered a lot.

Yang Zhou was speechless, he was not close to his parents, and he was not very good at coquettish, so he could only patiently listen to Zhou Yun's scolding.

"Why did this mission take so long? Is it dangerous?" Zhou Yun asked a series of questions: "When will it end, and can I go home for the New Year?"

"I've encountered some trouble, so the mission can't be finished for the time being. It's not dangerous, don't worry." Yangzhou replied one by one patiently: "Today is a new year, and I can't go back for the Spring Festival. You and Dad go on a trip, and I won't go back." Disturb the world of the two of you."

"What two-person world?" Zhou Yun smiled sweetly for a while, then changed the topic, "I hope you bring someone back, and we can also live in a four-person world."

Yangzhou took a leisurely walk around the villa, hehe laughed twice, and deliberately didn't answer.

"Oh, you child." Zhou Yun complained a few words, and the person on the other end of the phone was replaced by Yangzhou's father.

Yangzhou's father is a professor of physics at New York University. He is gentle and refined. Yangzhou has largely inherited his restrained and quiet personality.Both of them were not good at expressing their feelings, they greeted each other sternly, and said some clichéd advice.

A few minutes later, the phone was returned to Zhou Yun's hands.

Yangzhou heard the sound of Zhou Yun walking, and after a while, the footsteps stopped, and the background sound completely quieted down.

"Zhouzhou..."

Zhou Yun's tactful and low-pitched sigh made Yang Zhou feel uncomfortable too.He knew what his mother wanted to ask, but he couldn't give an answer.In helping his mother find her ex-husband, he admitted that he was not diligent enough.When he first came to the base, he fought secretly with Chen Jianming and had to deal with his harassment. Later, Lily had an accident, and later...he seemed to be boiled by the warm water of the base, subconsciously unwilling to let anything destroy this illusion of peace and comfort.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Yangzhou felt guilty and comforted Zhou Yun: "I will help you find them. I can ask the governor of the base for help. He and I... have a good relationship now."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a suppressed sob sounded.Yang Zhou panicked and called "Mom" several times.

"Don't look for it...don't look for it...Yangzhou. So what if you find it? They must hate me."

In the past two months, Zhou Yun waited for the news from Yangzhou with both anticipation and fear. Later, fear completely took over.Even if she is no longer the cowardly and hesitant girl she was back then, she is now fully worthy of the praise of "good wife" and "good mother", but what can she make up for when old friends meet?The lost time can no longer come back.

Yangzhou heard the sound of the door opening, followed by his father's soft-spoken inquiries and persuasion. After a while, the communication signal was cut off.

Yangzhou stood there for 2 minutes, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a red lantern from an unknown family, swaying in the cold wind.Thinking that in this bleak little town, there might be an older brother who is similar in blood to him, Yangzhou suddenly had a subtle and indescribable touch.

When he returned to the villa, Chen Jian was already awake, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, staring at him sleepily.

"Where have you been?"

"Make a phone call." After Yang Zhou finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and added forcefully: "Is there a problem?"

Chen Jian laughed at once.He threw away the blanket that was half hanging on his body, and walked in front of Yangzhou barefoot. "No problem, I just wake up and don't see you, I feel flustered."

Chen Jian was not much taller than him, but Yang Zhou had the illusion that he was completely enveloped by him.He lowered his head and walked around Chen Jian, saying, "It's not like I did something wrong."

"How can I. I'm such an upright person." Chen Jian grabbed Yang Zhou's wrist, stretched his palm a little bit, and interlocked his fingers.Both of them are hands holding the gun, and the rough calluses rub together, bringing a wonderful and indescribable pleasure.

Chen Jian stiffened immediately.Yangzhou stood beside him, his expression became weird for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, and asked calmly, "Where is the laboratory?"

Chen Jian pinched between his fingers as if venting his anger, and then let go of the clasped hands. "Damn UNPO." He muttered disapprovingly.

The atmosphere froze for two or three seconds, Chen Jian laughed again, poked Yang Zhou on the back of the head, and said, "Don't forget the concert tonight."

Xu Ran's concert was held in a music bar called Inspur.The bar has a strange shape, made by Eric's father, shaped like a saw pierced into the sky.

The concert started at eight o'clock, and at seven o'clock, the bar was crowded with spectators who hadn't bought tickets.Yang Zhou came to the base for so long, and it was the first time he saw the scene of empty streets.

Xu Ran is worthy of being a big star.

However, this big star is not a native base resident. He lived outside for 23 years before being sent here.After he was born, his father, who worked at the National Academy of Sciences, forged a genetic test report to conceal his identity as a born criminal, even Xu Ran himself did not know.

Xu's father originally wanted his son to live a peaceful life, but unfortunately he was destined to fail.Xu Ran loves music. When he was 20 years old, he formed a heavy metal band, which became an instant hit.While becoming popular, more and more people have been offended because of his bad personality and violent temper.He once smashed a reporter's camera, publicly criticized the band's poor drummer skills, and talked about the lack of respect for the seniors in the circle.Seeing his talented and arrogant son making enemies everywhere, Xu's father felt very anxious.

Finally, the fake genetic test report fell into the hands of some enemy, and it was exposed in a big way.Xu Ran had a genetic test again, but after the results came out, he didn't even go home and went to the No. [-] base on his own initiative.When he arrived at the base, he still went his own way, gave up heavy metal, and began to try punk, jazz, and folk songs.Because he is also an abandoned inferior gene owner, the residents of the base gave him infinite tolerance. Xu Ran's music has been precipitated in this environment, and it has become more and more mature.

Yang Zhou knew this person before, but he hadn't heard a few of his songs.Seeing the scene of a sea of ​​people at this moment, I couldn't help but exclaim a few words.

"What's the matter?" Chen Jian was very disapproving, "The base is such a star." He made a phone call, and after a while, a young boy squeezed out from the bar and waved to the two of them.

Chen Jian still had a bit of face at the base, Yang Zhou followed behind him, and the crowd automatically made way for them.

The young boy was called Xiao Liu, and he sounded like Xu Ran's assistant, leading them all the way to the backstage lounge.

Xu Ran was eating fruit in the lounge, turned his head and glanced at Chen Jian, and said very bluntly, "Why the hell are you here again?"

"It's okay." Chen Jian sat down by himself, and even patted the seat next to him to signal Yang Zhou to sit down.

"Who is this?" Xu Ran pointed to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou reported his name, but Xu Ran didn't even lift his eyelids, apparently indifferent to the answer.

Unlike the demonized image of the media, he looks very ordinary in real life, and he doesn't dye his hair colorfully, nor wear strange clothes.Yang Zhou stared at him for a while, Xu Ran suddenly turned his head, picked an apple and threw it to him.

Yangzhou was unprepared, but luckily the person next to him caught it quickly.Chen Jian took a bite, then handed the apple to Yangzhou's lips.Yang Zhou stared at the glistening water stain and frowned.

"I said," Chen Jian turned the apple in a circle, "Your disease really needs to be cured."

With outsiders present, Yangzhou's voice was very low: "I won't eat."

"It must be eaten." Chen Jian didn't know why he was angry, "otherwise I will feed you mouth to mouth."

Yang Zhou glanced at him, his eyes were very contemptuous, as if saying "try it".

Chen Jian loved pulling teeth out of tigers' mouths the most, and he wanted to do it as soon as he raised his eyebrows, but Yang Zhou changed his mind somehow, and lowered his head and took a small bite.

Chen Jian was taken aback for a moment, his whole body went numb, and he couldn't even say a witty word for a while.

Yang Zhou didn't think much about it, he noticed Xu Ran stood up and walked out, and asked vaguely, "Why is he going?"

"Let's rehearse, don't worry about him." Chen Jian withdrew his hand, followed the marks of Yang Zhou's teeth to finish the apple.

"Whoever he is, why did you bring me here?" Yangzhou saw that the two of them were quite familiar, and thought they were here to catch up on the old days, but the two of them turned out to be ignorant of each other.

"It's comfortable here, and there's something to eat. You can go directly to the VIP area through the special passage later," Chen Jian folded a bunch of grapes for Yang Zhou, "You're welcome."

Yang Zhou was very helpless: "It's not like there is no one at home."

As soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open vigorously, Xu Ran went back and forth, and glared at Chen Jian with a stinky face: "Remind you, don't do it here, or I will kill you."

Chen Jian smiled at him provocatively: "I didn't want to do it at first, but you thought about it as soon as you said it."

Xu Ran snorted and slammed the door, Chen Jian immediately stuck to Yang Zhou's body, and asked in a sticky voice, "Do you want to do it?"

He was hot, like a burning fire.Yang Zhou's good upbringing was wiped out at this moment, he pushed Chen Jian away angrily, and said angrily, "Fuck you."

Chen Jian approached persistently, surrounded Yang Zhou from behind, rested his chin on his shoulder, and said sadly, "But I want to fuck you more."

"Let go." Yang Zhou twisted, trying to break free.

Chen Jian didn't let go, but tightened his arms.Yang Zhou's body became stiff inch by inch, Chen Jian noticed it, and tentatively rubbed the muscles on his waist.

"If you move again, believe it or not, I'll chop off your hand." Yang Zhou stared at the fruit knife on the coffee table, expressionless.

"Believe me." Chen Jian kissed him on the earlobe, "But to die under the peony flower is to be a ghost."

As soon as he spoke, Yang Zhou had already rushed towards the fruit knife, Chen Jian was faster than him, kicked over the fruit plate, and crushed him onto the soft sofa.

The lips of the two were close together, and the sound of heavy breathing resounded throughout the room.Chen Jian stared at Yangzhou quietly, his eyes were a little sad, "I like you very much, wouldn't it be good to simply have a relationship? Yangzhou, you just think too much."

"Really." Yang Zhou sneered, "Then tell me, what experiments are you conducting and what plans do you have?"

"I can't tell you." This time, Chen Jian didn't dodge any more, and said bluntly, "Because you will definitely stop me."

Yangzhou's hands were pressed by him, and he had been desperately resisting, but he suddenly lost his strength after hearing this.

Of course he will stop Chen Jian, because there is an 80.00% chance that he is going to die.

The two were in a stalemate when there was a knock on the door outside, and it was Xiao Liu who reminded them that the concert would start soon.

Chen Jian let go of his hand and said "Got it".Yangzhou sat up and straightened his clothes.

"Let's go." Chen Jian put on a playful smile again, as if the episode just now hadn't happened.

When Chen Jian and Yang Zhou entered the arena, there was a crowd of people in the arena, almost no seats were empty.

Yangzhou found a seat and sat down. He suddenly found that the big man next to him looked familiar. Taking a closer look under the dim light, it turned out to be Douglas.

Douglas greeted them, and Chen Jian asked, "Just yourself?"

"Yeah." Douglas smiled wryly, "I am the one, how do you say in Chinese, lonely?"

"Who isn't?" Chen Jian answered, his voice was almost a whisper, and no one heard him.

Yang Zhou looked around and saw holographic projection equipment and signal transmitters beside the stage, he asked in puzzlement, "What's that for?"

"Online broadcast." Chen Jian said: "Xu Ran still has many loyal fans outside the base, and every concert is broadcast live online, and access to this signal frequency band requires money."

Douglas added half-jokingly: "His concerts are one of our mainstays here."

At eight o'clock, the lights of the audience gathered in the center of the stage, and Xu Ran appeared in front of everyone wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with a guitar on his back.

The cheers in the arena were louder and louder. Yangzhou was so close that he could see that there was no joy on Xu Ran's face, as if he had gotten used to it.

When everyone was almost cheering, Xu Ran gestured for silence, and the concert officially began.He rarely speaks on stage, does not interact with the audience, and does not jump up and down. He announces the title of the song first, and then starts singing.

In the past, he sang heavy metal, with fierce drums and distorted electric guitars covering up his unique tone.Now there is only an acoustic guitar for accompaniment, and the slightly hoarse voice instantly caught Yang Zhou's mind.

Seeing that he was listening intently, Chen Jian regretted bringing him to the concert, and said sourly, "Don't fall in love with him, this guy is nothing but music."

Yang Zhou was still staring at the stage, but the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

Xu Ran sang a few songs and retreated into the shadows to drink water.When he came back, he fiddled with the microphone and said casually: "The following song is dedicated to Dad."

There was an uproar.

Four years ago, Xu's father was expelled from the National Academy of Sciences because he was exposed to be falsified on the genetic test report, and he became a biology teacher in a middle school.And his son, who he defended in every possible way, rushed to the base without even saying goodbye to him face to face. He has never mentioned his father in public for four years.This made Xu Ran, who was already notorious, come under fire.But at this moment, he stood on the stage, ignoring the commotion in the auditorium, and lightly plucked the strings.

The song has no lyrics, just occasional humming accompanied by a clear guitar sound.

Gradually, the uproar stopped, but faint sobs rose from all directions.

Yang Zhou thought of Chen Jian's unrealistic story of "waiting for his father for a whole year", and turned his head to look at him, but saw Chen Jian's expressionless expression, almost detached.

Sure enough, it was made up, Yangzhou thought, this guy didn't have a few truths out of his mouth.

After Xu Ran sang the song, he was silent for four to five minutes.Everyone was eagerly expecting him to say something to his father, but when he opened his mouth, it was: "Here is an old song adapted."

Disappointed sighs came from the crowd, but when a new prelude sounded, disappointment suddenly turned into screams of excitement.The whole venue was like a pot of boiling water, until a "hush" came from nowhere and spread to the audience, the audience calmed down and listened to Xu Ran's singing with bated breath.

This is a song that is not cheerful, but full of affection and strength. Xu Ran perfectly interprets every trace of delicate emotion.

"What song?" Yang Zhou didn't think it was familiar, "Is it famous?"

"Old songs, Xu Ran became popular." Chen Jian said: "He had a girlfriend before, and his experience fits well with the lyrics."

At this time, a thunderous chorus suddenly broke out in the audience, and almost everyone shouted hysterically.Yang Zhou looked at Chen Jian, and saw red, blue, and green light spots hit his face alternately, but they still couldn't shine into those deep eyes.Chen Jian was also looking at him, expressionless, as if it was just a plain glance, and seemed to contain a thousand words.

The roaring sound in the venue gradually became weaker, and Yang Zhou belatedly recognized the lyrics.

His eyes suddenly became hot, and he hummed softly in his heart.

It wasn't until now that I suddenly understood.My dream is true love and freedom.
