Pavlov's dog

The truth is not as bad as Fang Wei thought.Xie Heng was arrested and went home that night, he was given a harsh training, and he was in a bad mood.

His mother Yang Erlan had a strong personality, so she dragged her son back into the house and reprimanded her.

"What do you do outside all day? If you are asked to go to the company to study, it's fine if you arrive late and leave early all day long, but you actually embezzled public funds!" Yang Erlan lowered her face, "Do you know the wild girl your father made him out of?" Did you even arrange to join the company? If you can’t keep on messing around like this, you might not even have a chance to get a penny from this promise.”

The illegitimate son Yang Erlan was talking about was said to be quick-witted and capable, and he was several blocks away from Xie Heng, who was not good enough.Even Mr. Xie was quite appreciative and turned a blind eye to this matter.Yang Erlan was worried that if her husband planned to recognize the illegitimate child, the successor and heir would naturally change.

But Xie Heng didn't care. He leaned on the sofa and played with a pillow, and said absent-mindedly: "Didn't you say that you want to raise a dog a while ago? I read it, and I think Bian Mu is pretty good, so ask a friend..."

"I'm talking to you about business." Yang Erlan interrupted him, frowning.

"What a big deal. Grandpa wasn't angry just now." Xie Heng didn't care, twisted a grape and threw it into his mouth, "I took the money, and you just need to make up for it. My own company, where is it?" It's that serious."

He said lightly, Yang Erlan's chest heaved with anger, and he opened his mouth to reprimand: "Your grandpa didn't say that you were disappointed in you, and you thought it was a good thing! Let me tell you, I won't let you know about embezzlement of public funds." You wipe your ass, and you find a way to solve the follow-up problems by yourself."

Xie Heng didn't think it was a pest, and muttered: "To make a big deal out of a molehill."

Yang Erlan didn't hear clearly, and said again: "Anyway, you learn from Xiao Wei, and he will take responsibility for his mistakes in the company."

"What's wrong with Fang Wei?" Xie Heng opened his mouth to ask. After a long time, Tan Xiyuan said that Brother Tan is a good person, and he gave him ideas and accompanied him to work overtime to catch up with the design.

Yang Erlan was still talking about him in his ear, Xie Heng's thoughts had drifted away.Seeing his silent and absent-minded appearance for a long time, Yang Erlan was so angry that she grabbed something and threw it in his face.

"I'm talking to you, what phone are you playing on!"

Xie Heng hit his pillow with it, stood up and stroked his mother's shoulder: "I think I'll raise Bianmu, I ordered one with a friend, and it will be delivered to my door in two days."

The nerves in Yang Erlan's brain were broken, and his mouth was dry when he talked about feelings, this person didn't listen to him at all.She wanted to open her mouth, but Xie Heng spoke first, and he looked at his watch: "Get angry and get wrinkles easily, it's so late, you hurry up and apply a mask and drink a glass of milk. My dad won't come back today?"

The anger in Yang Erlan's heart was extinguished at once, she had never seen such a white-eyed wolf who would poke her mother's heart so hard.She stared at the back of her son going upstairs, sat down on the sofa dejectedly, and felt a splitting headache.This is really a child who can't help A Dou, but it's her who hurts to the bone.

Xie Heng looked for someone to have a drink in the middle of the night as if he had nothing to do.A friend who had something good to do with wine asked him if he got the man he was chasing recently, Xie Heng smiled shyly and didn't answer.

Liu Chen laughed at the side and said, "Didn't Master Xie say that it was almost done two days ago? The right time, place and people, the family is short of money, and if you give money, the relationship will be justified?"

Xie Heng asked: "What if people don't want to borrow money from other places?"

Liu Chen shook his wine glass, and said: "First salute and then soldiers, since he doesn't want to salute, then he will get soldiers."

Xie Heng leaned on the sofa and took a sip of his wine. Liu Chen thought he was considering his own opinion, so he took the initiative to approach him and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Xie, do you want to help? After two meals, you will be honest, obediently be a dog at your feet, and make sure that you are comfortable both on and off the bed."

Xie Heng glanced at him, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp: "No, I will do it myself."

Liu Chen clicked his tongue, sat back in his original position, put his hand under the skirt of the woman next to him, and began to fiddle with other things.

Xie Heng didn't want to play, so bored, he turned up his phone and saw a photo - Tan Xiyuan was sitting in the office, processing data in front of the computer, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his eyelashes were shadowed, his expression was quite tired, but also very peaceful .

This was what he had previously coerced and lured Fang Wei into taking a sneak shot. The other party would rather die than obey, but he couldn't hold him back, so he took a perfunctory profile photo.

Xie Heng suddenly changed his mind.

The surgery was originally scheduled for Saturday, but was temporarily rescheduled.Tan Xiyuan ran to find a doctor, but the answer he got was strange—the surgeon had changed, and he was a well-known doctor in the industry.

This may seem like a good thing, but there is no pie in the sky for no reason.He wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask anyone, and no one said anything.

The operation was delayed for a few days, and Tan Xiyuan saw Xie Heng at the end of the day.

Xie Heng dressed up like a human being, and he could smell some perfume when he got close. Such flowers and butterflies rarely came and went in and out of the ward.He was quite conspicuous, and the little nurses and the patient's family members in twos and threes secretly looked at him.

The last meeting was unpleasant, it was nothing more than Xie Heng inquiring about his family members who were hospitalized and came over to make trouble after drinking.Grab Tan Xiyuan and say something ugly.

——"You are short of money, right? I can give it to you."

"You can pay it back with something else."

"Well, do you want to think about it?"

Tan Xiyuan was anxious at the time, but he didn't have the time to deal with such scoundrels, so he was about to drive them away with a sullen face.Xie Heng drank too much, pulled his arm cheekily, and said, "Think about it, it's definitely not a loss."

Tan Xiyuan sneered and said, "Get lost."

Xie Heng was not angry when he was scolded. If Tan Xiyuan was desperate, he had to think about it. He felt that he was bound to win, so he rolled away happily.

In the end, it didn't work out, and Fang Wei broke his business halfway through.

It doesn't matter if it's broken, Xie Heng figured it out, Fang Wei was right, why bother to use other people's life-saving money to achieve his own plan.It's not popular these days to sell one's body to pay off debts, and forced child support, how vulgar.

Tan Xiyuan took a bottle of water, the hot water was steaming, Xie Heng followed behind him without saying a word.

The water bottle is full and the stopper is on.Tan Xiyuan didn't move, and after a long time, he spoke first, "Dr. Xu you were looking for?"

Xie Heng did not speak, and acquiesced.He learned to be smart and didn't take the initiative to ask for credit. He waited for the other party to guess it before he swaggered to show off the credit.

Tan Xiyuan turned to face him, and said, "The operation went very smoothly. Dr. Xu is a leader in the industry. I have been in contact with him for a long time and he has not spared time to come...Thank you."

"As long as it goes well." Xie Heng said.

Tan Xiyuan nodded and said thank you again.He turned around and poured water from a disposable cup and handed it to Xie Heng. Xie Heng smelled it and was not used to the jerky smell of paper cups.

"Only this." Tan Xiyuan said.

Xie Heng shrugged: "It's okay, I'm not thirsty."

The conversation was not smooth, and the two had nothing to say.Tan Xiyuan lowered his head to sort things out, while Xie Heng stared at him calmly.

"Aren't you angry?" Xie Heng said suddenly, "I drank too much that day, so what I said might not sound good."

"It's nothing." Tan Xiyuan felt helpless.He understood that Xie Heng wanted to change his strategy to balance himself.This roundabout and polite way is more difficult to refuse and get rid of than to be rude.

As expected, Xie Heng pushed forward, after a few words of nonsense about it being dinner time soon, when will uncle wake up, and whether you are hungry, he pointed straight at the target and asked, "Since your brother is here, why don't we go out for dinner now? Let him take care of uncle. I think you have lost weight recently."

He didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, not to mention that this person did him a great favor, even though it was an unsolicited helping hand, but Tan Xiyuan accepted the favor of others, how could he refuse.

During the conversation, Zhuang Yue just came back from the bathroom. When he opened the door, he was still saying, "What's for dinner? I'll go down and buy..."

Looking up, he saw a stranger standing in the room—not completely strange.

When Xie Heng saw him for the first time, he felt that this boy was good-looking, handsome and straight, his eyebrows stretched slowly, and he was still a little immature.It's just that the eyes looking at him are not very friendly.

"This is your brother?"

Tan Xiyuan said, "Yes, Zhuang Yue."

"Hi, I'm your brother's friend." Xie Heng grinned, "Your brother and I are going out to eat now, you stay in bed for a while, and bring you food when you come back. What do you like to eat?"

Zhuang Yue frowned, ignored him, looked at Tan Xiyuan, and confirmed, "Are you going out to eat?"

"Yes." Tan Xiyuan nodded, "You take care of uncle for a while, and if you wake up, call the doctor."

"No. I have classes in the evening and I have to go back to school now."

"Didn't you say today is a day off?"

Pinching his palms with his fingers, Zhuang Yue lied calmly: "There is an exam on short notice."

Zhuang Yue is in his third year of high school this year, and he will take the college entrance examination in a few months. People like them may have no chance to change the trajectory of their lives except for studying.Naturally, Tan Xiyuan would not entertain Zhuang Yue's college entrance examination, so he said to Xie Heng, "Forget it tonight, I can't leave."

Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at him, then looked at Zhuang Yue, and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait until you're free. But if you stay in the hospital all day long, you're also missing your studies and work. Do you want me to help you find a nurse?"

"I'm looking for it, come over tomorrow." Tan Xiyuan said.

Xie Heng's eyes brightened: "Then let's have lunch together tomorrow."

Tan Xiyuan didn't refuse, Xie Heng left in a flutter.Sure enough, the Huairou policy is easier to implement, and the effect is remarkable.

When Zhuang Yue passed by the door, the boy was staring at him covetously. Xie Heng glanced at him, smiled at him, and patted him on the shoulder: "Study hard."

After Xie Heng left, Tan Xiyuan also picked up the car keys and said, "Pack up your schoolbag, and I'll take you to school."

Zhuang Yue's complexion was bad: "I'll go by myself, you can watch Dad."

"Half an hour back and forth, Uncle Zhuang should not wake up for the time being." Tan Xiyuan said, "I'll take you there, it's not easy to take a taxi here."

Zhuang Yue didn't persistently refuse, and followed Tan Xiyuan to the parking lot with his schoolbag on his back.

The sky gradually darkened, and the street lamps came on one by one.Zhuang Yue sat in the passenger seat, took a few glances at Tan Xiyuan, and asked, "Was that your friend just now? I haven't seen it much."

"You haven't seen many." Tan Xiyuan said.

"Did he lend you the money?" Zhuang Yue asked again, and added, "I know you have no money, and it's all put into the down payment of the house."

Tan Xiyuan paused: "It's not him."

Passing the crosswalk, there are couples arguing and quarreling on the road.Tan Xiyuan honked the horn to remind, and patiently waited for the person to leave.The radio was on in the car, saying that Valentine's Day was coming, and even both sides of the road were full of holiday advertisements and promotions in advance.

Zhuang Yue tightened his grip on the belt, and asked along the way: "You are almost 30 years old, don't you plan to fall in love yet?"

Tan Xiyuan sneered: "It's fine that Uncle Zhuang urges me every day, you'll make fun of me for my age."

"Do you still like sister Jingqi? So you don't want to fall in love now?"

Tan Xiyuan stopped smiling, he licked his dry lips, and said in a low voice, "No."

Zhuang Yue persisted: "Then why don't you talk about it? Why did you break up with sister Jingqi? It's because my father and I became your burden, so you..."

"Don't make random guesses." Tan Xiyuan interrupted his sudden excitement, "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you and Uncle Zhuang."

Zhuang Yue took a deep breath, his eyelashes trembled, and said nothing.

The atmosphere was stiff all the way, Tan Xiyuan wanted to resolve it after he calmed down, so he asked, "Why are you always concerned about my private life recently? At your age, don't you think about these things all day long?"

Zhuang Yue didn't answer.

"We still have to focus on learning, and we need the college entrance examination..."

"I don't want to hear this, it's annoying." Zhuang Yue said irritably.

Tan Xiyuan sensed that his emotions were not right, and said calmly: "I don't want to talk to you about studying all day long. Teacher Qian told me last month that your studies have declined recently. I hope you can distinguish between priorities now."

Zhuang Yue replied stiffly: "I know."

"Liking boys and girls is your own business. If you understand it, I have no objection. Don't have psychological pressure, it's all normal."

"Normal? Don't you feel sick? Won't you be disappointed in me?"

"will not."

Zhuang Yue smiled, not relieved, but self-deprecating.Tan Xiyuan didn't see it, and was still channeling his emotions, asking with a relaxed tone: "Do you have someone you like?"

Otherwise, you should not be aware of your sexual preference.

After a long silence, he admitted softly: "Yeah."

He was so calm, Tan Xiyuan didn't know what to say: "It's good, but don't be in a hurry to pursue or confirm a relationship, wait for everything to be—— I know you don't want to hear me talk about studying and college entrance examinations, but I hope you don't want to do it because These things delay yourself."

Zhuang Yue stared at him, Tan Xiyuan wanted to come over, and asked "Do you understand?"Zhuang Yue slowly looked away.

I know, but you don't know, and probably don't want to know, how disgustingly your half brother misses you
