put away your canines

So hot.

Why on earth is it so hot...

Wei Chen groaned and opened his eyes.He wanted to move his arm, but his muscles and nerves were a little weak—more than that, numbness spread all over his body.He struggled to count until he was sure he had limited physical space.

The problem is not with me.

Yue Chuan put his arm on one side of his waist, and his fingers touched the tailbone intentionally or unintentionally.If it weren't for his repeated confirmation, Yue Chuan might be charged with taking advantage of others' surprise. Omega twisted her body uncomfortably, avoiding the other's unconscious touch.

The boy's face was not buried in the quilt or pillow, but pressed against his body, and his lips brushed against his chest from time to time.

Why is this posture?

Even Wei Chen himself couldn't answer.

——he just remembered that he invited this brat to the bedroom, wanting to play some new tricks.Somehow, the story slowly turned into a farce.The outcome of the farce is not worth remembering, he only knows that later he suffered from the excitement of the cerebral cortex and fell asleep after taking sleeping pills.

When he woke up, he found that the kid was hugging him like a lover.

After falling asleep last night, did Yue Chuan really do nothing?

He couldn't convince himself.

But it was true, he couldn't doubt a boy of good standing.

"Hmm." Yue Chuan was awakened by the movement in his arms, and raised his eyelids in a daze, "Mr. Wei? Good morning."

"Get up from me." Wei Chen ordered harshly, "Do you know that my chest is swollen? - Don't rub it, and don't touch me with your lips again. You will make me unable to get dressed today of."

"I'm sorry." Yue Chuan rubbed his eyes and reluctantly let go of his arm, "Mr. Wei, hand..."

"I don't need someone to remind me of this all the time."

"why."

"Remember, Ayue. The doctor I brought here is first-class, but this kind of penetrating wound cannot be healed in one night's sleep." He said, "So if I answer you 'not so good', do you treat it every once in a while? Are you going to ask again for a few minutes?"

"Shouldn't I ask?"

"If you really want to cling to me, it's best not to remind me of unpleasant things. I'm not weak enough to need a junior to care about."

"I did not mean that."

"——Don't rush to apologize, there are always exceptions to everything, isn't there?" Before a deliberate pause, he gave Yue Chuan a funny look, and deliberately slowed down his speech, "The exception is, 'Do you think we are now what relationship?'"

Yue Chuan was stunned.He just wanted to grab the other person's arm, trying to say something to stay, but Omega used "I have to go" as an excuse to avoid his entanglement.The timing is so ingenious that one has to wonder if all this is a well-planned trap.

Wei Chen sat up from the bed, pretending not to notice, withdrawing from the intense gaze.

The rabbit is already on the harness - next, when to pull the rope is the key.

Among the two, Koshikawa was the first to arrive at the cafeteria.

When he arrived, what was waiting for him was only a group of children caught in anxiety and helplessness.Contrary to what was originally imagined, it seemed that the candidate who was about to be pushed out did not appear among them.

But walking further inside, he saw a mass of ashes placed in a metal basin surrounded by a crowd.

Only then did he realize that the ballot box might have been artificially burned.He looked around, and it was clear that the seeds of doubt had also been fermented by this incident.Everyone is asking who is responsible for this evil deed and who is most likely to commit such an act, but the list of real culprits is unimaginably complicated.

Until Wei Chen pushed the door, they still haven't found the instigator, let alone how to make up for this mistake.

None of them dared to say a word.At least in front of those in power in the orphanage, they know the end of rebellion.

Wei Chen looked at the ground, then at the lifeless children, his tone was flat.

"What does that mean?" He didn't even seem to be asking.

"We only found out when we came here." A child summoned up the courage to explain, "I found these when I opened the door in the morning. I think it must have been burned by someone..."

Wei Chen nodded hypocritically, and applauded the brave man who stood up to speak.

"I don't care about your reasoning process," he said, "but it seems that you can't give me a result. Is that so?"

"No, we—"

"Then continue, I don't listen to excuses." Wei Chen interrupted him and said to everyone, "I know that each of you is working hard for this, and you all want to get rid of everything as soon as possible. But unfortunately, I am a result-oriented person .If you want anything from me, it's just an explanation, and I'm not interested in hearing it."

After speaking, his eyes did not stay on anyone, and he turned and left without saying a word.

I saw Wei Chen again, around lunch break.At that time, the cafeteria had just finished the second round of voting.Needless to say, Yue Chuan did not choose anyone.

After all, he had to watch out for the unidentified witness.

After leaving the cafeteria, he accidentally witnessed Wei Chen walking with someone in the corridor outside the activity classroom.

Judging from height, hair color and iconic movements.Koshikawa identified that person as Ren.

Wei Chen seems to be inviting Ren to do something together.Maybe it's a meal, maybe it's a private meeting.Looking at the reaction, he didn't notice Yue Chuan.As for why he thought so, it was very simple - when Ren was close behind Omega and closed the restaurant door intimately for him, those cunning blue eyes finally glanced at Yue Chuan.

The white boy looked at his opponent who was standing there, and smiled mockingly.

Then show the middle finger.

"Get out of here." He made a mouthful, and said, "A lost dog."

Why him.

Why do you want to meet him secretly again? It was the same when I was kicked and injured my knee last time.Wei Chen really cared about the outcome, would he be wronged if he cared about it? ——he chose Ren again.

why.

Having fun with Ryan?Or do you want to choose Ren who is more independent because you feel that you are annoying?

why.

Wei Chen, do you like Ren very much?

Yue Chuan lowered his head in a daze, his knuckles were pale, and he stared at the tip of his shoe without blinking.The tympanic membranes, the head, and even the depths of the throat all felt sore like a tide.

As soon as his tongue hurt, a faint salty smell spread from his mouth in an instant.

it's wired.

Looking at the empty corridor, he sucked the bleeding wound on the tip of his tongue in puzzlement.

Obviously last night, I still liked myself very much.

***

Time soon came to the morning.With the help of the rules, post-curfew violations can be exploited.

When the ballot box was gradually engulfed by flames, Ren was squatting in front of the fire, using his eyes to check whether the doors, windows and curtains of the locker room were drawn properly.

Wei Chen raised one leg and sat on the table.

He propped his left hand behind his back, admiring the burning embers with burning eyes.

"You did a good job. Not just this riot, everything was planned." He complimented slightly perfunctorily, "Remember to direct the blame to the right person. I don't want you to be hurt by this. "

Ren didn't speak.

"Don't feel embarrassed," Wei Chen added, "betrayal is also an option. I usually don't condemn a person's wise actions."

"Compared to this."

"what?"

"Can you promise me? You will take me out of this ghost place." Ren turned and approached him, "Don't use other reasons to prevaricate me, I just want to know this now."

"Don't be too aggressive, Ren." Wei Chen hugged one elbow, ignoring his approach, with a two-thirds smoked cigar between his fingers, "I don't like this."

"I'm very patient with you." Ren squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "But obviously, you are more inclined to that mixed-race kid. I can see it, don't take me for a fool."

"Perhaps that is unfair."

"No. I know how you treat that kid." Ren gritted his teeth, "You often dine with him and ask him to come to your office to do things for you. But when you and I are alone, you don't even You don’t want to sit closer to me when you eat.”

"This is just your guess." Wei Chen's attitude was still very calm, "Do you really want to make the atmosphere so unpleasant?"

"I'm very dissatisfied. Do you regard your invitation as a reward for me?" He raised his voice, almost jumping up and pointing at Wei Chen's nose, "But I'm still doing things for you—you should think about it Thought."

Wei Chen raised his eyebrows unsurprisingly, and continued according to his words.

"Okay. I really should ask you something. What makes you not care that I'm partial to him?"

"Listen, I'm patiently doing this for you, mostly because you can lift me to an ideal position." Ren is honest in this regard, "I need it-at least at this point you You can trust me completely, not that gray eye who can't speak clearly."

"Profit." The man nodded approvingly, "It is indeed the capital of trust."

"I want your answer."

"I know what you want." Omega was not surprised by his threat, but only promised, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

"You still haven't given me a definite answer. Don't think you can get away with it this time." Ren frowned, with his right arm propped on the table, approaching the man's haughty face like a lie detector, "I don't want You are like my relatives. Not only did you defraud my parents' inheritance, but you also sent me to this kind of ghost place."

Wei Chen narrowed his eyes alertly.

He lightly held the cigarette butt against the white boy's heart.

"Don't come any closer," he said, "unless you want to annoy me."

The moment Ren grabbed Omega's wrist and tried to push him down to seek the truth, Wei Chen heard the sound of a metal object falling to the ground.

The source of the sound was at the gate, making one wonder if there were any witnesses.Wei Chen turned his head vigilantly, but his gaze happened to meet a pair of blurred eyes dormant in the darkness.

For a moment, he felt his heart being pinched hard.

The masked man in a hooded jacket bent down and picked up the half of the water pipe that had rolled to the corner.He silently stayed where he was, neither stepped forward nor turned around to leave.

But from the small hole for exhaling, there is an invisible and depressing force.

Looking at their posture at the moment, the mask tilted his head.The water pipe that had just been caught in the palm of my hand broke in two in an instant.
