born criminal

There is no sunlight underground, and it is difficult to distinguish day from night.Yangzhou was trapped in a narrow room, completely isolated from the outside world, and counted time by the number of times Simon delivered meals.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.In the long and monotonous solitude, he couldn't control his cranky thoughts.He thought of Daniel, B75, and the failure of Base No. [-]. Sometimes he was worried and sometimes painful, and the emotions that had nowhere to vent all accumulated into irritability, which could be ignited with just a spark.

The room was dead silent.

Yang Zhou walked into the bathroom, took a handful of cold water from the pipe and splashed it on his face.The wound at the corner of his mouth stabbed faintly. He raised his head, and through his wet eyelashes, he saw a embarrassed and listless figure in the mirror.The reddish-brown iron chain hangs down from his wrist and drags to the ground, hiding in the dark like a coiled snake.

Yangzhou suddenly felt a sharp anger, he punched the mirror, the fragments flew, and the figure also cracked.

Simon heard the noise and hurried over to check, still wearing a sterile suit.He took out the medicine kit and wanted to apply medicine to Yangzhou, but Yangzhou refused sullenly, with serious eyebrows and eyes.

"Then you deal with it yourself," Simon unconsciously took a step back under his momentum, "I'll go first."

"Don't," Yang Zhou called him in a panic, feeling a little guilty in Dr. Simon's surprised eyes.He slightly moved his chin, trying to show his composure in a calm tone, "Talk to me."

If he stays alone again, he can't help but think about the phrase "if I want more" that Chen Jian said when he left, and he will be driven crazy by all kinds of thoughts.

Simon went to move the folding chair again.Yang Zhou's gaze followed him, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a dusty safe at the bottom of the closet.The box was very small, and Yang Zhou immediately recognized it as the most common combination lock style.

Simon didn't notice, and slammed the closet door shut.Holding the chair, he lingered on Yang Zhou for a while, and finally sat down at a distance not too far away.

"How's the situation outside?" Yangzhou asked eagerly.

"Not very well," said Simon.

Yang Zhou anxiously waited for the next sentence, but Simon pretended not to know, looking at him frankly and innocently.

Yangzhou had no choice but to lower his voice and ask again.

Simon sighed, "UNPO has been interrogating Bernard, and nothing has been disclosed yet. But Bernard knows the existence of B75, so I guess he will betray us."

Yang Zhou's blood surged up, and suddenly there was a fishy sweetness in his throat. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"It doesn't matter to me." Simon raised his eyebrows, and the old look suddenly appeared, and quickly spread to every breath and every wrinkle of his. "I've been here for 30 years, and it's nice to have a change of environment. I heard that the food in the UN prison is very good."

"But..." A name was beating in Yangzhou's heart, silently but fiercely hitting his chest.

Simon suddenly became insightful again. He let out a soft "ah" and said with a little regret, "But young people are different, and they will live the rest of their lives. It's a pity to rot in prison, a pity."

"Is there no other way?" Yangzhou said excitedly, "UNPO...you can bribe them, anyway, they only want money!"

Simon looked at Yangzhou carefully with surprise on his face, and smiled after a while, "It's really not like what you can say." He stood up, tried his best to straighten his hunched back, the cold white light covered him, and suddenly An illusion of grandeur is created.

"I'm back to work."

"You can do it! Don't you!" Yang Zhou rushed over to pull him, tightly holding his withered hands, "You said that Chen Jian transferred B75, but you still spend every day in the laboratory, what are you doing? ?”

"It's a very ordinary experiment, but if it succeeds, it may change everything now."

"What experiment?" Yangzhou grasped a life-saving straw like a drowning man, holding Simon's hand tightly, "When will it succeed?"

Simon laughed muffledly, coughing until he laughed, but Yangzhou knew it was not because of happiness.

"I go to the laboratory every day and feel that it is today. But in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed."

Today, with an average life expectancy of 85 years, Simon is actually not too old.But something has tempered his enthusiasm, and he has long ago turned himself into a stagnant pool of water.Until now, Yangzhou saw a wave in his eyes.He was stunned for a moment, and when he regained his senses, he wanted to ask again, but Simon had already left.

Yang Zhou wandered around the room restlessly.His range of motion was very small, and the iron chain dragged across the floor, making a slow, dull, muffled sound.He didn't want to think about it, but the name kept ringing in his ears.

Chen Jian!Chen Jian!What should Chen Jian do?

He couldn't stop it after all.He was always too late, too late to discover the truth of the genetic experiment, too late to detect the alliance between the two bases, and then the situation got out of control almost overnight...

Yang Zhou could still recall those words of persuasion to Chen Jian before, but even if he grabbed his collar and yelled "I told you a long time ago", what's the use?

After an unknown amount of time, the door of Room 79 opened suddenly, and the rusty hinges made a short and sharp sound, interrupting the slow moaning of the chain.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Jian glanced at Yang Zhou unnaturally, his eyes fell on his blood-stained right hand, "Dr. Simon said—"

He opened the medicine box, took out tweezers, gauze, and medical alcohol in sequence, and arranged them neatly on the bed, then turned his head and looked at Yangzhou silently.

Yang Zhou didn't know what he was awkward, he stood still and refused to move.He looked at a cluster of flames expectantly and fearfully like a person accustomed to the cold.The two were in a stalemate for a while, and Chen Jian gave an impatient "tsk".

Yang Zhou bit his lower lip imperceptibly, and walked in front of him slowly with heavy steps.

Chen Jian patted the mattress to signal him to sit down, grabbed his right hand and looked at it.The wound was no longer bleeding, but there were a lot of fine glass shards embedded in it, shining brightly under the light.Chen Jian took a deep breath and picked up the tweezers.

His hands are steady and his movements are smooth and smooth.The two of them didn't speak during the whole process. Yangzhou lowered his head, and what he saw was Chen Jian's wheat-colored skin, slightly raised eyebrows and thick eyelashes that were not long.The frequency of his breathing was very low, his breathing was light and short, and his seriousness made this little injury seem comical.

"Did you make a mistake in the genetic test back then?" Chen Jian held his hand and turned it around to confirm that all the debris had been cleaned up. He was relieved and joked, "Such violence is more like a crime than me. Gene carriers."

Yangzhou was silent, he felt that he was wrapped in a puddle of melted butter, and he was limp even when struggling.

Chen Jian dipped a cotton ball in some alcohol and coaxed in a low voice, "It hurts."

Yangzhou has suffered more serious injuries, which is nothing at all.But when Chen Jian spoke, he frowned subconsciously, as if he was suddenly afraid of pain.

Chen Jian carefully wiped the blood from the wound, and wrapped a layer of gauze around Yang Zhou's right hand.Both of them lowered their heads, their hair rubbing against each other.

Chen Jian is always like this, if he wants to treat someone well, he will be extremely gentle in every word and deed.He was too thoughtful and considerate, and even made the other party feel aggrieved by the painful experience they had taken for granted before they met him.Yangzhou can't do it, he fears and looks forward to feelings, he doesn't know how to play tricks, if he really falls in love with someone, he will only hold the beating heart bluntly and clumsily.

"Okay." Chen Jian raised his head, the two of them froze at the same time, and the magnified facial features of each other clearly appeared in the field of vision.

The distance was too close, the tips of their noses almost collided, and only their own reflection could be seen in the pupils of the other party.

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Jian kissed her.It was just a superficial touch, but Yang Zhou's almost instinctive avoidance angered him. He propped his hands on the bed and leaned over to chase the two petals of pale powder.

Yangzhou retreated in a panic, until his back touched the wall.Chen Jian chased him unhurriedly, like a lion preying calmly.

"Have you considered what I said that day?" He asked softly, wrapping Yangzhou in his arms.

Yang Zhou scratched his nails nervously, pretending not to know, "Which sentence?"

Chen Jian got closer and closer, stubbornly asking for an answer, "I don't believe that you have forgotten everything before. Do you still like me?"

Yangzhou's eyelashes trembled violently, he secretly hit the wall with the back of his head, unable to move back. "I never said I liked you," he explained with difficulty, "We're brothers..."

Chen Jian suddenly became furious, "Who the hell wouldn't want to be your brother!"

He kissed him domineeringly, grabbed Yang Zhou's unresponsive hands and pressed them to the top of his head, licking and sucking between his lips and teeth with all his strength.

Yang Zhou first widened his eyes in surprise, and then turned his eyes to the ground in bewilderment.Chen Jian's scorching breath was like summer wind, blowing him lazy and warm.But the raging tongue in the mouth was so domineering that Yang Zhou couldn't help but tremble.

Ding dong ding dong, the chains made a slight clashing sound with the movements of the two of them. Yang Zhou was immersed in the double experience of distraction, until something hard and hot touched his abdomen, he suddenly woke up and struggled fiercely.

Chen Jian bit him viciously, and let go of his hand in dissatisfaction.Yangzhou's lips were shiny, and there was still a misty glint in his eyes.He folded his arms, knelt up straight, and made a gesture to stand up, obviously ready to run away.

Chen Jian didn't shy away from his own desires. He glanced at the tent that was erected, and then at Yangzhou, who was facing an enemy, and suddenly smiled, "I won't force you."

While Yang Zhou was in a daze, he kissed him again, and licked the light brown scab on the corner of his mouth.

"But I don't have much time. If Bernard confesses, UNPO will send someone over soon. Once B75 is exposed, we can only fight against the coalition government. You were right before, I have no chance of winning." Chen Jian clenched his fists, the sadness in his eyes flashed away, he smiled cynically, "Once I go to prison, it will be very difficult for us to see each other again. So you have to tell me whether you like me or not , huh? Otherwise, I will brag to my inmates in the future, I finally fell in love with someone, but in the end it turned out to be Luohua intentionally and ruthlessly..."

He became more and more joyful, like a playboy with no shape.Yangzhou's chest was tightly blocked, and he couldn't breathe, "Stop talking!"

He wanted to stop him sharply, but his words were hoarse and weak, and they were begging.Yang Zhou sat down dejectedly, not knowing whether to relieve him or to comfort himself, "The matter hasn't reached that point yet."

Chen Jian twitched the corner of his mouth.

Silence is like a sharp knife on the neck, cutting into the flesh inch by inch.Yang Zhou changed the subject and asked, "Where's Andrew?"

"I don't know where I went." Chen Jian said lightly, "He was quite loyal to you, and he pointed a gun at me that day."

Yangzhou was not in the mood to continue, and asked again: "Where is Fang Xing?"

Chen Jian's smile froze.In the past few days, Fang Xing has been looking for B75 everywhere, and the relationship between the two is on the verge of breaking down.But he didn't tell Yang Zhou, and said indifferently: "What are you asking him for?"

Yang Zhou didn't know that Base No. [-] fell into the current situation mostly because Fang Xing colluded with Bernard without authorization.He just asked casually, but he didn't expect to offend Chen Jian. He felt like being stabbed by a needle in his heart, and kept silent angrily.

After a while, Simon knocked on the door and came in with a few lunch boxes in his hand.He looked around and found no place to put it, so he gave it to Chen Jian.Chen Jian stopped him and asked him to sit for a while.

"I'm busy." Simon waved his hand and left simply.

"This restaurant is pretty good." Chen Jian glanced at the logo on the lunch box, and removed the chopsticks for Yangzhou, "You can eat some, I've lost a lot of weight in the past two days."

Yangzhou didn't respond.He looked in the direction of the door thoughtfully, and after a while he said, "What is Dr. Simon's history?"

Chen Jian was not surprised by this question. "Want to know?" He smiled mischievously, and leaned into Yang Zhou's ear, "I'll tell you if you ask me."
