Dazed

When Qi Zheng arrived at the construction site, the place was completely isolated, many people in police uniforms were walking around, and the rest of the workers in the construction site could only gather around outside, looking worriedly, it seemed that they were A mess.

Both Zhou Tao and Foreman Zhou were fine, they were just thrown by the blasted stones. Zhao Youran went later and was fine, but those workers who worked earlier in the morning were all injured. When Old Liu was taken away last night, there were some Few people were talking about it, but this incident suddenly happened again in the morning, and many people were discussing whether the boss had provoked his enemies and received revenge.

Cao Jingxing was injured suddenly, and he stopped meddling in matters on the construction site. The head office quickly sent people down. This incident seems to have something to do with a criminal group that the police have been paying attention to. Currently, the entire construction site can only temporarily suspend work. The new plan can only be continued after cooperating with the police investigation.

Out of accident, Zhao Youran's group of workers who had planned to make it to New Year's Eve had to settle their wages first, and then talk about it after the new year. It's a mess right now, and it takes a day or two to settle their wages. The workers had no choice but to go to the dormitory to pack their luggage so that they could leave conveniently.

Qi Zheng went to the construction site and couldn't get in, and couldn't learn anything useful, so he had to go back to the dormitory first. In the previously lively dormitory, only Zhao Youran was left alone, and he seemed extraordinarily quiet. I was also a little surprised when I was in Zheng, but I felt relieved when I thought that it was fortunate that he was absent from work, otherwise nothing would happen.

"Just now the people at the head office said that we need to settle our wages first and leave early." Zhao Youran was afraid that Qi Zheng would not know the situation, so when he saw him, he first explained the situation.

Qi Zheng pursed his lips and said, "What happened in the morning?"

Zhao Youran's face was also very tired, he frowned, and his face was full of puzzlement: "I don't know the specific situation, when the work was about to start at eight o'clock in the morning, Fatty Zhou and the others walked quickly, and suddenly there was a loud noise, pouring The concrete slab of the building exploded suddenly. At that time, there was a guy standing on the top, and he passed by immediately. The workers below were injured before they could go up. They rushed to call an ambulance. Hey, I just went to the hospital this afternoon. Fatty Zhou, he suffered a slight injury, but it's nothing serious."

Hearing Zhao Youran say that "the concrete slab being poured" exploded, his heart skipped a beat. He remembered the conversation between Lao Liu and the salesman that night. There was no difference. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with that organization. No wonder the construction site had to shut down because of this, and the police chased him so closely.

"It's a good thing you weren't here this morning, otherwise it would be very dangerous." Zhao Youran said with emotion.

Qi Zheng's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't speak. Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and they were speechless for a while.

At this time, an unexpected guest suddenly came outside the house and called Zhao Youran's name. Qi Zheng looked up and saw that it happened to be the person who did that with Zhao Youran that night, his expression changed immediately, and he looked away in embarrassment.

The man saw Qi Zheng's appearance, but was taken aback for a moment, then looked away as if nothing had happened, and called Zhao Youran to go out.The two stood outside the door and chatted a lot. After a while, Zhao Youran returned to the house with a satisfied face, still holding the things that the man gave him in his hand.

However, when that contented expression came into contact with Qi Zheng who was unaware, Zhao Youran's expression suddenly became tense again. He thought of the two wake-up calls from Shao Lian and him just now, and his heart suddenly felt like fifteen buckets. Up and down, I wondered if Qi Zheng knew about him.

He hesitated and carefully put his things on the bed, and then continued to pack his things. After enduring it for a while, he reminded softly: "You have to pack up quickly, foreman Zhou said that the dormitory might be closed in two days. .”

Qi Zheng frowned and said, "Why so fast?"

"It can't be helped. If you encounter this kind of thing, you can deal with it as soon as possible." Zhao Youran replied.

Qi Zheng groaned, but didn't speak.

The room was silent again, Zhao Youran couldn't hold it back after all, he struggled for a while, and then suddenly asked softly: "Qi Zheng, do you know about me?"

Qi Zheng was taken aback, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The matter between me and Shao Lian, did you see something..." Zhao Youran swallowed, widened his eyes, carefully observed Qi Zheng's expression, and felt a little nervous. Was what Shao Lian said true? Yes, the two of them were actually seen that night.

Qi Zheng's heartbeat jumped a beat, surprised that Zhao Youran would confront him, after a while, he replied: "I didn't mean to look."

"Can you not reveal it?" Zhao Youran said softly suddenly, the expression on his face was still calm, but a little more embarrassed and shy, and said: "You know, I am a person who is afraid of trouble."

Qi Zheng looked at him unexpectedly, but he didn't expect Zhao Youran to be embarrassed, but still generous, as if he didn't care about other people's opinions at all, so he was a little puzzled, but he also agreed: "I won't say it."

"Thank you." Zhao Youran breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again. He doesn't look very good-looking, but he always gives people a very comfortable feeling like a gentle breeze. Qi Zheng can't get used to people here. There are many, but Zhao Youran may be the only one he can't find any fault with.

The room was silent again, Zhao Youran sweetly put away the gift that the man gave him, Qi Zheng frowned, and asked incomprehensibly, "Why do you like men?"

Zhao Youran seemed a little surprised that Qi Zheng would ask this question. Seeing his puzzled expression, he also said in a puzzled way: "I don't know why I just like the same sex. Those famous biologists have discussed it for so many years. The answer? But I think sexual orientation should be something that can’t be changed, God only gave me such a fact, and I choose to accept it.”

"Aren't you afraid that others will find out and squeeze you out?" Qi Zheng said a little puzzled looking at his calm expression.

Zhao Youran seemed to have thought about this problem, and with an expected look on his face, he said frankly: "To be honest, I'm scared, and I'm scared to death, that's why I keep hiding and don't dare to let people find out."

"But people live in this world for 100 years, cross out the time of 20 years when they don't know love, and then cross out the time of 20 years when they don't love. In just 60 years, don't you feel that you are suppressing yourself because of those illusory accusations? Isn't it worth it? And heterosexuality is not necessarily good, and the divorce rate is so high now, right?"

Qi Zheng was a little taken aback when he heard the words, and stopped for a moment. He didn't speak for a while, his expression was slightly stern, but he couldn't quite see what was going on in his heart.

Zhao Youran showed that sweet and yearning expression again, and said: "Although we may not have children together, and we may not see the light, but at least I am happy when we are together, and that is enough."

"Have you encountered any problems recently?" Zhao Youran looked at Qi Zheng's thoughtful look, and joked, "Is there a boy who likes you?"

Qi Zheng, who suddenly came to his senses, was startled when he heard the words, but the "no" he just wanted to blurt out suddenly froze when he thought of Cao Jingxing's deep gaze, and he froze there with a rare look of bewilderment. After a while, He cleared his throat and said, "No."

Zhao Youran raised his eyebrows and said, "There are two things in this world that nothing can cover up. One is poverty, and the other is love."

Qi Zheng wanted to refute, but at this time another person came in from outside the house, Qi Zheng had no choice but to shut up, that person walked to Zhao Youran expressionlessly, pursed his lips, did not speak, but looked as if he had something to say look.

Zhao Youran suddenly smiled and said, "It's nothing, he already knows."

Shao Lian looked back at Qi Zheng in surprise when he heard this, as if he suspected that he was also a fellow, Qi Zheng looked back impatiently, so fierce that he didn't look like a gay.

Shao Lian calmly turned his gaze back, and asked in a steady voice as if no one was there: "I want to ask you, does your butt still hurt?"

……

Zhao Youran didn't expect that this was what Shao Lian wanted to say. He blushed when he heard Meng Lang's words, and said embarrassingly, "It doesn't hurt anymore, you can go back."

Shao Lian didn't seem to notice his lover's embarrassment, and said with satisfaction: "Then leave for the train station at eight o'clock tomorrow. Our tickets are at ten o'clock in the evening, and we will have dinner together in the evening."

"I see." Zhao Youran nodded, and then dismissed him impatiently.

Only Zhao Youran and Qi Zheng were left in the room again. Zhao Youran felt that the awkward atmosphere made him want to kill Shao Lian directly, but he couldn't do it.He hesitated for a while, wondering how to change the subject, and finally said awkwardly, "Do you want to have dinner with us tonight..."

"No need." Thinking of the sizing eyes of the man just now, Qi Zheng felt uncomfortable, and said, "Cao Jingxing is injured, I will bring him food tonight."

"Ah, why is he injured?" Zhao Youran asked in surprise.

Qi Zheng's face was fixed, and he told a lie, "We were eating together last night, and we were hit by a motorcycle, and our hand was broken."

"That's really unlucky." Zhao Youran commented, and after a while he smiled again, and said: "People on the construction site are all asking whether Boss Cao has been hunted for revenge. I still believe you just said that his nephew was injured."

When Qi Zheng heard the words, he immediately snorted and said, "How is that possible?"

While the two were still talking, another unexpected visitor came to the door of the dormitory. Zhou Tao, who was in a mess, had just rushed back from the hospital. Seeing that Qi Zheng was there, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you absent from work this morning?" ?”

"There is something temporary." Qi Zheng replied with a frown.

Hearing this, Zhou Tao showed a look of nothingness on his face, and said, "Forget it, forget it, I won't argue with you now, let me inform you, I will come to the office at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon to get my salary, so don't be late."

Zhao Youran nodded, responded, and then asked curiously: "How are those injured people doing now?"

"Except that Lao Liao and Lao Niu are going to be hospitalized, everything else is fine. They may come back at night. Don't talk nonsense to reporters when you go out, you know?"

Qi Zheng heard the words and asked, "How is the investigation of the explosion now?"

Zhou Tao said impatiently after hearing the words: "Ask, what a fart, I'm in a hurry to inform other people, you just need to get your salary." After finishing speaking, he waved away.

Zhao Youran looked at his back as he left, and said, "Maybe he doesn't know, but now the whole construction site is in a mess."

Qi Zheng glanced at Zhou Tao's figure and said nothing. He walked out of the dormitory and looked at the messy construction site. The bombed stairs were tilted to one side, and cement and stones on the construction site were everywhere. , there are dust stains everywhere, it looks very messy.

From time to time, a few policemen in police uniforms or casual clothes walked around the site, carefully surveying with measuring tools. Near the end of the year, such an incident suddenly broke out, whether it was good for the construction site, the police, or the city. Whether it is the residents or the residents, there is a huge pressure that cannot be explained in words. If the case cannot be solved years ago, the effect of public opinion will be unprecedentedly severe.

There was a slight smell of gunpowder in the bleak air, and the quiet atmosphere swept across the whole city almost in a day. This accident was not just an explosion at the construction site, but also the gossip that overseas capitalists were deliberately retaliated by their enemies. The deliberate killing of migrant workers to cheat for compensation, if this news can be grasped, it will definitely be a good soup base with good color, flavor and taste. Therefore, many people are standing outside the factory with cameras on their shoulders. The mobile reporter holding the microphone is ready to win the headlines and cause a burst of effect.

At this moment, these scattered reporters squatting near the construction site added some human flavor to this desolate wilderness, making them less lonely.

This winter is really too cold.

Qi Zheng took a breath, spit out the white hot air from his mouth, and slowly dissipated in the air. Some bloodstains could be vaguely seen on the messy construction site not far away, and it was unknown who left it. It was shocking.
