Professor Gong's History of Forced Evolution
Chapter 76 Meeting and Rejection (3)
When did you become such a rascal?Last time it was a forced kiss, is it kidnapping this time? "
Gong Ming turned around to fasten his seat belt, looked ahead and said, "As long as you don't face me with a cold face and are willing to talk to me, I can also do rapists."
While speaking, Gong Ming stepped on the accelerator and started the car.He Chen seemed to be deliberately against him, since Gong Ming finished saying this, he kept his mouth shut and remained silent.Gong Ming didn't mean to make him angry on purpose, but Du Jia's words reminded him at the right time.If Xiaochen is not allowed to vent his anger towards him, I am afraid they will always be in this state of stalemate.So in order to let him vent his anger, Gong Ming didn't mind being the villain.
After Du Jia finished talking to Gong Ming, Gong Ming carefully thought about the matter between him and Xiaochen inside and out, and he found that he had made a fatal mistake.Before, he always felt that he was older than Xiaochen, so he always showed his calm side in front of him, so that Xiaochen couldn't see his worry and care for him, so that he always doubted his feelings for him.Xiaochen is born with a sense of insecurity, so he will inevitably think wildly.He originally thought that he created a safe harbor around him so that he could live with peace of mind, but he didn't want to, but it had the opposite effect.Xiaochen's anger and anger today are all driven out by his calmness and calmness.Now that Gong Ming found the crux of the problem, he knew what he was going to do next.He just needs to reveal himself to him without reservation and let him accept himself again.
84. Duplicity
Seeing Gong Ming driving the car out of the city, He Chen saw that he was coming for real, but still had no intention of stopping.After the car got off the viaduct, He Chen turned to Gong Ming and said, "Stop the car and let me go!"
"The car has arrived here, so why give up halfway?" Gong Ming said calmly, looking ahead, and asked calmly, "Aren't you going to visit Aunt Wen's grave today?"
"I've changed my mind now, I don't want to go today." He Chen turned his head to look at Gong Ming, emphasizing on purpose.
Gong Ming knew that he was angry with him, so he still looked ahead, as if he didn't hear it at all, and continued to drive the car calmly.After a while, He Chen couldn't hold his breath anymore. Seeing that Gong Ming didn't respond to his words, he raised his voice and asked him a little anxiously: "Stop! Didn't you hear what I said? What do you want to do? "
Gong Ming held the steering wheel and replied calmly: "Isn't it obvious what I'm doing? I'll drive you back to City A to see Aunt Wen. You've been out for two years, and you haven't seen Aunt Wen once in two years. Now you're back." , don’t hurry up to see her right away. If Aunt Wen finds out, how sad will she be?”
After hearing Gong Ming's words, He Chen remained silent for a while.Gong Ming saw that the car had driven some distance away from City C, and He Chen didn't mention to get off the car again.After a while, he asked He Chen tentatively: "Xiao Chen, do you remember that sentence in the message I sent you after you boarded the plane before you left the country?"
He Chen didn't reply, but how could he not remember.To this day, on that message, every word of that sentence, even the punctuation marks inside, he still remembers which font was written in.
Regardless of whether he still remembers it or not, Gong Ming directly reported the answer by asking and answering himself: "When you come back, we will start again!" This is what he wants to say to He Chen now.
He Chen felt that he was about to blurt out what he wanted to promise him, but he immediately realized that he was no different from two years ago.He can't always be that little boy who just makes him laugh and coax him a few words, so that he will always do whatever he wants, and he doesn't know how to value and cherish himself.
So, with such thoughts in mind, He Chen categorically rejected Gong Ming: "Impossible!"
"Why?" At this moment, Gong Ming who asked this sentence was flustered.He almost thought that he had lost his chance, but in the next second, he suddenly thought of He Chen's duplicity.Thinking of Du Jia's advice to him again, Gong Ming tentatively asked He Chen, "Do you have someone? Is it the boy I saw the other day who slept in the same room as you?"
"You asked after you guessed it?" He Chen tacitly agreed. He completely forgot that he had clarified this matter with Du Jia, and he never thought that Du Jia would tell Gong Ming about their conversation without any changes. As for when he heard the following words from Gong Ming, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the car and get in.
"Don't mislead me on purpose again! Du Jia has already told me everything, your roommate is a real straight man." Seeing that He Chen is still the same as before, Gong Ming couldn't help a slight smile from the corner of his mouth, and said happily, "You are still the same as two years ago, competitive and like to use this kind of moves to test me..."
Before Gong Ming could finish speaking, He Chen said not to be outdone, "You are still the same as you were two years ago, full of self-confidence. Two years ago, I might have unintentionally tried to test you, but now I don't even bother to do it." something like this."
Gong Ming didn't want to distinguish the authenticity of He Chen's words, he just felt his anger from his tone, and he realized that he might be a little self-defeating.Then, after a long silence, Gong Ming spoke again, and confessed to He Chen in a low tone: "I'm not confident at all. If Du Jia hadn't told me, I'm afraid I'd be thinking wildly about next year."
He Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he carefully reviewed what Gong Ming said just now in his mind, he couldn't believe it.Is this Gong Ming's real idea?But no matter what, it seemed that it was the first time he heard Gong Ming speak to him in such an unconfident tone in front of him.In the past, Gong Ming always had a calm attitude in front of him at any time, and he would never let him see his weakness.
Although He Chen was moved when he saw Gong Ming showing weakness, he still turned his head and said unforgivingly, "I didn't see it!"
Gong Ming sighed lightly, and continued to use the tone just now, explaining to He Chen: "Everyone has many sides, and it's normal that you can't see one side of me. But you can't blame me, you can only blame me , I used to deliberately not show my cowardly and weak side in front of you, but I didn't expect to make you think that I was indifferent to you, and I messed up things. I just want to show myself very well in front of you. Strong, I want to be your solid support. But I forgot to empathize, pay attention to your feelings, and consider what you need. Compared with an invincible superman, you can just want someone who simply loves you, I Should have understood this earlier..."
Having said that, Gong Ming paused.Seeing that He Chen still turned his head and looked out the window, he didn't respond.He thought that since the conversation had reached this point, he might as well be brave today and break the deadlock.Therefore, Gong Ming plucked up his courage and asked He Chenfa again: "You said that you did two years ago, but now you don't bother to do it again. Then, I want to know, is the person you liked two years ago now the same?" Don't you bother to continue liking?"
He Chen turned back his head, which had been looking out the window, and finally had a reaction. He looked at Gong Ming, and asked back, "You really want to know?"
"Yeah." Gong Ming turned to look at him and replied seriously.
"That's good." He Chen pointed to a stop on the right front of the car, and said intentionally, "Stop the car and let me get down, and I'll tell you the answer."
Gong Ming slammed on the accelerator and drove in the direction pointed by He Chen.Fortunately, He Chen was wearing a seat belt, otherwise he felt that he might be pushed into the front drawer by the recoil force generated by the car's acceleration.
In less than a minute, Gong Ming drove to He Chen's designated place, which surprised He Chen a bit.He Chen couldn't figure out what Gong Ming wanted to do, he had repeatedly yelled at him before, and he would rather be accused of being a kidnapper than let him go.Now that the journey is almost halfway through, is he really willing to let him go?Just because he wanted to know the answer to the question "Does he still like him now?"
Thinking of this, He Chen felt guilty.He just provoked him on purpose just now, trying to make him anxious and angry, but he didn't intend to answer him at all.He knew the answer to this question clearly in his heart, but he didn't want to let Gong Ming see his hole cards so easily, he should be proud again.But he didn't want to lie to him, He Chen was very afraid that once Gong Ming heard him say that he didn't like him anymore, he would turn around and leave, giving up completely.
However, until now, Gong Ming has fulfilled his promise and parked the car at the place he designated.If he does not answer, it becomes that he has not kept his promise.But is he really going to go down here?This rest station is between the highways of City C and City A. There is no village or shop in front of this place.If Gong Ming really lets him get off the car here, how will he go to City A alone, or return to City C after he gets off?
For a while, He Chen couldn't get off the tiger.Sensing that Gong Ming turned his head and was watching him all the time, He Chen turned his body to the car door on his side in a panic, and then made a gesture to reach out to open the door.When he found that Gong Ming hadn't unlocked it at all, and the car door couldn't be opened at all, He Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.But he still turned his head anxiously and said to Gong Ming, "Can you unlock it for me? You won't let me go down, how can I tell you?"
Gong Ming looked at He Chen, paused for a moment, and then said calmly, "Stop making trouble, Xiao Chen. Whether the car door can be opened or not, you are not going to answer me."
"..." Has it been seen through again?He Chen was depressed, but he still pretended to be angry and asked him, "You know I won't answer, so why did you park the car here on purpose? Are you teasing me on purpose?"
"No." Gong Ming was not offended by him, but told him calmly, "I think if you really hate staying with me so much and don't want me to accompany you to see Aunt Wen, then I will stay with you." Turn around here and send you back. You haven’t been back to see Aunt Wen for two years. Don’t take the time to see Aunt Wen. I’ll ruin your mood again. If you really don’t want to, I’ll send you back to c City, change to Du Jia or Zhang Yunchao to drive with you."
After Gong Ming finished speaking, the confined space in the car fell into silence.He Chen looked straight ahead, and out of the corner of his eye, Gong Ming opened the window and lit a cigarette.He didn't say another word, but He Chen knew that he was waiting for his answer.After He Chen fought with his own heaven and man in his heart, he finally made up his mind to tell Gong Ming his decision, but his words were still holding on to his unyielding self-esteem, "The car has already driven here, let's go again!" Go back and change to Brother Jia or Brother Chao to be the driver, they should think I'm crazy!"
Seeing that Gong Ming had finished smoking a cigarette, and the window pane was raised quietly, but there was still no reaction from him.He Chen added anxiously, "I don't hate you enough, I hate you so much that I can't stay in the same car with you!"
"That is to say, you still hate me?" Gong Ming's tone was calm and creepy, "It's just a matter of degree?"
He Chen was shocked into silence, not knowing how to answer.From the corner of the eye, he caught sight of Gong Ming's disappointed profile. It seemed that he took what he said just now seriously, and He Chen felt a little regretful.
Just when he was hesitating whether to speak up for remedies, Gong Ming finally stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out of the rest stop.Seeing that he didn't turn around, but continued to drive straight to City A, He Chen's hanging heart finally let go.At this moment, he violently complained about himself for dozens of rounds in his heart, he was really worthless, he was asking for trouble o(╯□╰)o85. Love words and expressions
Afterwards, when the two went to visit the grave, and during the drive back, Gong Ming didn't ask He Chen any more questions, nor said anything irrelevant to him.He Chen felt a little uneasy. He realized that he was still the same as two years ago, unable to guess what Gong Ming was thinking, but his concern for him was still the same as before.
It wasn't until the car drove into City C that Gong Ming finally spoke. He asked He Chen, "Where will I take you back? The hotel where you stayed that day?"
"...Mmm." He Chen was in a trance for a moment, and the voice of the reply was barely audible.
Without saying a word, Gong Ming turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the direction of the hotel.At the entrance of the hotel, Gong Ming stopped the car.This time, he unlocked the door early.Before pushing the door and getting off the car, He Chen hesitated whether to speak to Gong Ming, but in the end he still didn't think of saying something to him.So, he turned around and opened the car door, and started to leave in a muffled voice.
When he stepped out of the car door with one leg, he suddenly felt unable to move, and his left hand was quietly held in the palm of Gong Ming.Gong Ming gently pulled him back, and He Chen pulled him along, his heart seemed to miss a beat.
He turned his head, a little nervous, looked at Gong Ming expectantly and asked, "Why?"
"It's okay." Gong Ming smiled crookedly, looked at He Chen and said, "Suddenly I miss you."
He Chen was stunned: "..."
In the past, Gong Ming would never take the initiative to say such things to him, even if he would say it occasionally, it was reluctantly said according to He Chen's words.He Chen always felt that he had been in love for so many years in vain, and he didn't have the skill of talking about love at all.
When he was in a daze, He Chen suddenly heard Gong Ming say to him again: "I heard from Du Jia that your band will rest tomorrow and you don't need to rehearse. If you are fine, you can come to my house, and I will help you." You cook your favorite saliva chicken and king oyster mushrooms. During the time you went abroad, I improved and practiced these two dishes. Now my skills in cooking these two dishes are comparable to those of chefs, and I promise not to let you down You are disappointed."
Seeing that He Chen just looked at him and didn't reply.Gong Ming thought he was worried about the location of the invitation, and then quickly let go and said: "If your friend is okay, you can also bring it with you. It seems that he takes good care of you. I guess you often give people a lot when you are abroad." Trouble. I just take this opportunity to thank him."
After Gong Ming finished speaking, he let go of He Chen's hand.Just when he thought that He Chen would ask him "Is there any reason for him to thank his friend", he saw He Chen withdrew his left hand and said lightly, "Let's talk!" Then, he pushed the car door again, turned around and got off. car.
Gong Ming watched his back for a long time, until He Chen walked into the hotel lobby, his back completely disappeared from his sight.Gong Mingcai stepped on the accelerator again and drove the car away.On the way to Shuxiangju to return the car, Gong Ming kept thinking about the details of getting along with He Chen today.He Chen's every reaction to him, every look in his eyes, is there any change from when he first came back.
Although Gong Ming had had several relationship experiences, he found more and more that these experiences were completely useless in his relationship with He Chen, and he was completely a novice in love.He really doubted what he was talking about in his previous love affairs.However, after thinking about it, he felt that today was still rewarding.Although he still doesn't know whether He Chen still has feelings for him, but through today's communication and getting along, he clearly feels that the distance between them has been pulled closer than when He Chen returned to China.He could tell just by looking at He Chen's ambiguous answer when he finally left.
Before he knew it, Gong Ming had already driven the car to the gate of Shuxiangju.After parking the car, he took the key and walked in.As soon as Gong Ming entered, he saw Du Jia at the cash register.He is on vacation today and is helping Zhang Yunchao to calculate last year's accounts.At this time, Zhang Yunchao was gathering with a few middle school classmates in the box inside, not at the cash register.
Du Jia has been watching Gong Ming's expression since he saw him walk in.He was the one who gave Gong Ming the car keys, and he was the one who set up this opportunity to get along with He Chen, so he naturally cared about the result of his painstaking efforts.Therefore, when Gong Ming walked to the cash register and returned the car keys to Du Jia, Du Jia didn't care about the account at all, and asked directly, "How about today...? Chen, has his attitude changed?"
"I can't tell." Gong Ming knew that Du Jia really cared about them, and didn't want to hide it.But regarding Xiaochen's attitude today, he was really uncertain for a while.
Hearing this, Du Jia thought that the situation was not optimistic, and Gong Ming suffered a setback from He Chen.So, he comforted Gong Ming and said, "It's okay, if it doesn't work this time, you can ask him out a few more times. You have a relationship foundation, and I don't believe Xiaochen will be so unfeeling."
"Well, I've already made an appointment." Gong Ming looked at Du Jia and said with a wry smile, "It depends on tomorrow whether it will work or not."
If He Chen is willing to come to his house, it proves that there is still drama between them.If even this meeting is rejected, Gong Ming is afraid that even if he summons up the courage to pursue He Chen again, his hope will be very slim.
"Come on!" Du Jia said to Gong Ming worriedly while encouraging him, "He Chen told me that their band's performance here will end in the middle of the month. Rent a house here, and save it until the start of the Music University, but I'm afraid he will change his mind at some point, and he might go back to Paris with the orchestra..."
Gong Ming knew Du Jia's concerns. Once He Chen decided to stay abroad, the chances of them getting back together would be even slimmer.At that time, let alone talking about love, it will be difficult to meet each other.But at a time when he was still not sure of He Chen's true thoughts, Gong Ming didn't dare to push He Chen too hard.He thought in his heart that He Chen had already declined once today.For the next invitation, wait 12 hours, and ask He Chen tomorrow morning at the earliest.
After leaving Shuxiangju, Gong Ming went to the supermarket near his home alone, and bought some Chinese food ingredients that Xiao Chen loved.Although Xiaochen has not yet confirmed that he will come to the house tomorrow, he can't tell whether it is intuition or hope.In short, he believed that Xiaochen would definitely come tomorrow, so he had to prepare in advance now.
After buying the ingredients, when Gong Ming returned home, it was almost 9 o'clock.Seeing that the house was a little messy, he didn't bother to do it. He just took out the meat he bought from the crisper, cut it into sections, marinated it, put it in the refrigerator, took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, Gong Mingcai got up early and began to tidy up the room. He tore the Pleurotus eryngii mushrooms by hand and put them in the refrigerator again.After processing the ingredients and cleaning the house, Gong Ming put on his coat and went downstairs with his mobile phone.
Before going out, he glanced at the time displayed on the wall clock, it was a quarter to ten.Yesterday, Gong Ming originally wanted to send Gong Ming a WeChat message in the morning to ask more questions.But when he was fully prepared today, his desire to see He Chen at home became more urgent.
So, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to drive directly to the downstairs of the He Chen Hotel to pick him up, and to be more active in asking him out.He knew that He Chen liked to sleep in. He calculated the time and estimated that when he arrived at the downstairs of the hotel and sent He Chen a WeChat message, He Chen would either be lying in bed or half asleep.Gong Ming thought, when He Chen was not fully awake, let him see his WeChat, the probability of He Chen agreeing to him instinctively was higher.
With such thoughts in mind, Gong Ming walked briskly into the garage.However, what he didn't expect was that He Chen had woken up early and was now fully awake.
Two hours ago, Chen Peng was awakened by urination, got up from the bed in a daze, and went straight to the bathroom.On a cold winter morning, before the sun had fully risen, the windows of the hotel room were covered by thick curtains, and the whole room was pitch black.
Chen Peng pushed open the door of the bathroom sleepily, and accidentally bumped into a soft object.He felt that this thing was still warm, so scared that he immediately opened his eyes wide and woke up.It turned out that the thing he just bumped into was He Chen's arm, and He Chen was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom and brushing his hair.
"Scared me to death!" Chen Peng looked at He Chen's white shirt and exclaimed with lingering fear, "I thought I ran into a ghost!"
He Chen took a look at him and said nothing, and Chen Peng also forgot that he was going to go to the toilet, and then asked He Chen: "Why do you get up so early? Are you going to the next city to visit the grave? No, you just went there yesterday." !"
"...I have insomnia." He Chen said nonsense.
He looked at himself in the mirror, young, confident, and energetic, and he nodded, satisfied with himself.Thinking about returning to that home again, it must be in a brand new state.
Chen Peng looked at him in disbelief, and said contemptuously, "With your look, you can perform directly on stage without makeup. Insomnia...is it because you are so excited?"
Chen Peng remembered that after He Chen came back last night, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.He asked him if something good happened and he didn't say anything.But he knew that He Chen was going to visit his mother's grave during the day, so he didn't dare to ask further questions, not wanting to pry into other people's privacy too much.
He Chen was caught by his words, and asked him angrily: "Then what are you going to do after waking up so early on your holiday? Do you have a date?"
"Acquaintance with your sister! How can there be a girl to ask me to date!" He poked at Chen Peng's sore point where he didn't have a girl, and he was so excited that he pushed He Chen away, "Get out, don't delay me peeing!"
He Chen smiled and was pushed out of the bathroom by him. At this moment, he suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing in the room.Gong Ming's face flashed across He Chen's mind, and he happily went over to pick it up.
At that time, Gong Ming had already driven downstairs to the Hechen Hotel.After parking the car, he just took out his mobile phone from his jacket pocket, and before he had time to dial He Chen, he received a call from his male postgraduate student Zhao Yu: "Teacher, it's not good, your office has been stolen!"
86. Stolen and missed appointments
Has the office been burglarized?
Holding up the phone, Gong Ming complained in surprise, "It's New Year's Eve, it's understandable for a thief to steal something and go home for the holidays, but why would he choose to steal from the university's office?"
Gong Ming selfishly felt that even the student's dormitory was probably better than his office.Thinking of the things in his office, he was not worried at all, instead he comforted Zhao Yu on the phone: "It's okay, don't worry, I don't have anything valuable in my office. If it gets messed up, you don't have to worry too much." Panic, I'll go back to clean up after I finish my New Year's leave."
At this moment, Gong Ming didn't have the heart to take care of that barren office.He just wanted to hang up Zhao Yu's phone and call He Chen right away.
However, Zhao Yu didn't understand the anxiety expressed in the teacher's words, and stopped Gong Ming who wanted to hang up the phone again, "No, teacher! The problem now is not what valuables you lost, but more troublesome Something is missing. According to the police who came over, it seems to be an important document locked in your drawer."
"Important documents?" For a moment, Gong Ming was taken aback by his words.Why doesn't he know that there are important documents in his office that need to be locked?What's more, although there is a lock on his desk, he has been working here for almost three years, and he has never locked it once.He doesn't think he has anything that needs to be so precious, so discreet, that it needs to be locked.
With Gong Ming's face in a daze, Zhao Yu continued to reveal the situation to him: "Now there are a few people in police uniforms in your office. I can't hear you clearly outside. They seem to be I am discussing with the dean to ask you to come back to assist in the investigation."
"Investigate what?" Just as Gong Ming asked, he suddenly heard a busy voice of "beep beep" from the microphone.Gong Ming moved the phone away from his ear, glanced at the bright screen, and saw a call coming in, it was his office landline number.Then, he said to Zhao Yu on the other end of the phone, "There is a call coming in, thank you for letting me know the situation in advance, I will hang up first."
As soon as Gong Ming picked up the phone, he heard the dean's voice on the phone, "Don't ask anything, come to the school right now!"
"Now?" Although Gong Ming saw the number, he thought that the school let him pass.But he still deliberately delayed the time, and asked knowingly on the phone, "You suddenly called me back during the holiday, what's the matter, Dean?"
The dean didn't exchange greetings with him, but ordered him in a serious tone, "Come here first and then talk!"
After hanging up the phone, Gong Ming raised his head subconsciously, and glanced at the hotel building where He Chen was located through the window glass.He sighed, put on his seat belt helplessly, turned the car around, and headed straight for the school.
*********
After He Chen was pushed out of the bathroom by Chen Peng, he heard the phone ringing on the bed.He ran over happily, picked up the phone without even looking at the name displayed on the screen, only to hear a strange female voice from the microphone, and was extremely disappointed.He had preconceived that this call was from Gong Ming, so when he heard someone else's voice, he would be disappointed.
When Chen Peng came back from the bathroom, he saw He Chen sitting on the bed dejectedly, like a frost-beaten eggplant. He was completely different from the mental state he was in front of the mirror when he was vigorously tossing his hair upside down just now.
Chen Peng walked over in a daze, and asked him with concern: "What's the matter, why are you suddenly so sad?"
He Chen lowered his head and didn't say anything.Chen Peng remembered that when he was closing the bathroom door just now, he vaguely heard the phone ringing outside.So, he tentatively asked He Chen: "Did old John call you again to bother you? I'll help you warn him!"
Old John is the manager of the Philharmonic Orchestra. He is in his 40s and has a wife and son in France, but he always uses excuses to pester He Chen.If He Chen hadn't confessed his sexuality to him, Chen Peng might still not be able to figure out the clue.
He Chen didn't know how to explain his sudden loss to Chen Peng, it was supposed that he just didn't get a call from Gong Ming.It's still early now, so he doesn't have to be too impatient.But for some reason, when He Chen answered the call just now, he vaguely felt that if this call was wrong, he might not even be able to receive Gong Ming's call today.
But seeing his friend anxiously fighting for him, He Chen couldn't bear to let him continue to worry for him.So, He Chen told Chen Peng casually: "It's not old John, I just answered a call to sell insurance. The salesman kept chattering with me, and I got a little tired of hearing it."
"Hi! I thought it was because of something extraordinary?" Sitting on his bed, Chen Peng comforted He Chen and said, "At least you should understand the nature of his work. It's a big holiday, and he's still working overtime. , how difficult it is!"
"Yes, yes, I know!" He Chen said and lay back on the bed.
He and Chen Peng lived in a standard room, a small one.It's not that the Philharmonic Orchestra's budget is tight, but because there are very few rooms in this hotel because it's the time of visiting relatives during the holidays.Naturally, the senior musicians and teachers of the orchestra should be arranged first, especially some older ones.In order for them to have a good rest, the orchestra's support staff also left them a single room in the hotel.Chen Peng is the youngest member of the orchestra, and He Chen was also recommended by his mentor to join the tour. It's not bad that they can get into this small standard room.
Besides, being able to live in this standard room with Chen Peng also saved He Chen a lot of trouble.Before, when John, the manager of the band, was in France, he would often find various reasons for his work, which made He Chen unable to refuse, so he used excuses to get close to him.Now it's the time of the tour, and He Chen wants to live outside all the time. He is really worried that he will sneak into his room for some reason.Now that he could live with Chen Peng, he suddenly felt much safer.
He Chen lay on the bed, flipping through his phone subconsciously.He couldn't help thinking in his head: Did Gong Ming forget the invitation he said yesterday?He said that we will talk about it tomorrow, doesn't he understand what it means?Or did he lose the courage to continue asking him out after being rejected once?No way... Now he has become a rascal who will forcefully kiss and kidnap him if he disagrees with him. Does he still care about this face?But if it wasn't for these reasons, why didn't he call himself?It's past ten o'clock now, and it will be lunch time in more than an hour. Could it be that he wants to invite himself to dinner...
He Chen lay on the bed, thinking over and over.When he realized that his head had touched the pillow, he sat up quickly again, worried about messing up the hair he had just smoothed out.In order to avoid the situation of lying down after sitting just now, He Chen stood up, walked to the small sofa by the window sill, and sat down.
Half an hour later, He Chen still didn't receive a call from Gong Ming, and he began to feel more and more uncertain.Chen Peng looked at He Chen who was fidgeting, and asked helplessly, "Are you leaving or staying? Are you waiting for someone to call?"
He Chen shook his head like a rattle, "No, no."
"I have a dinner appointment with my junior high school classmates. After eating, I can go to ktv to sing." Chen Peng took advantage of the opportunity to invite He Chen and said, "If you are fine, do you want to come together?"
He Chen shook his head at him again, and said, "You can concentrate on getting together with your friends, I won't bother you anymore."
Chen Peng saw that He Chen was absent-minded, so he must have something on his mind.Seeing him turning on his phone and taking a look at him every now and then, Chen Peng knew that He Chen must be waiting for someone to contact him.When he was in the French apartment, he discovered that He Chen had the habit of staring at his mobile phone.In the past, Chen Peng was not sure who he was waiting for to contact, but now, he had some clues about this matter.Now that he knew what He Chen was thinking, he didn't try to persuade him any more.He knew that He Chen had strong self-esteem, so he would not deliberately expose him to show his keen observation skills.
Before leaving, Chen Peng put on his coat and told He Chen, "Lock the door when you go out, and if no one eats with you at night, just call me. I will bring takeaway and come back early to accompany you."
"Okay, I got it, you can go out without worry!" He Chen glanced at the phone, thinking that maybe the ringtone would ring in the next second, and Gong Ming would call to ask him out.His dinner will be at that familiar home, at the familiar table.He will eat the Chinese food that Gong Ming personally prepared for him, and if all goes well, maybe he can stay overnight.
After Chen Peng left, He Chen sat alone on the sofa in the hotel, looking down at his mobile phone.He glanced at the top of the phone screen from time to time, noting the change of time.However, until He Chen swiped his phone to the point of running out of battery, and finally fell asleep leaning on the sofa tiredly, he didn't wait for Gong Ming's call.
On the other hand, Gong Ming, who drove to the school, wanted to quickly deal with the theft in the office, so he went back home to pick up He Chen.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the office, he almost couldn't get out.
Two officers in police uniforms showed the video from the school monitoring room to Gong Ming. From the corridor outside the office, Gong Ming saw a figure slipping to the door of his office, stealthily breaking open the door lock, and then slipped into his office.The video showed that about half an hour later, the man walked out of his office with a document bag in his hand.
The video stays here, and the police zoom in on the picture.Gong Ming saw a man wearing a peaked cap coming out of his office. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could only tell that he was a young man based on his movements and posture.
Later, the police enlarged the picture of the thief's face, pointed at his face, and asked Gong Ming, "Do you know him?"
However, the resolution of the picture is too low.Gong Ming couldn't see his real appearance clearly, he shook his head, and replied to the policeman, "I don't know him."
But the moment he spoke, Gong Ming looked at the face in the camera, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.This face... He seems to have seen it somewhere, but why can't he remember it for a while.
87. Framed and on TV
After Gong Ming finished his reply, he immediately moved his eyes away from the scene in the video.Then, he found two policemen looking at him with disdainful eyes.One of the policemen, with a straight face, looks like an interrogator
Gong Ming turned around to fasten his seat belt, looked ahead and said, "As long as you don't face me with a cold face and are willing to talk to me, I can also do rapists."
While speaking, Gong Ming stepped on the accelerator and started the car.He Chen seemed to be deliberately against him, since Gong Ming finished saying this, he kept his mouth shut and remained silent.Gong Ming didn't mean to make him angry on purpose, but Du Jia's words reminded him at the right time.If Xiaochen is not allowed to vent his anger towards him, I am afraid they will always be in this state of stalemate.So in order to let him vent his anger, Gong Ming didn't mind being the villain.
After Du Jia finished talking to Gong Ming, Gong Ming carefully thought about the matter between him and Xiaochen inside and out, and he found that he had made a fatal mistake.Before, he always felt that he was older than Xiaochen, so he always showed his calm side in front of him, so that Xiaochen couldn't see his worry and care for him, so that he always doubted his feelings for him.Xiaochen is born with a sense of insecurity, so he will inevitably think wildly.He originally thought that he created a safe harbor around him so that he could live with peace of mind, but he didn't want to, but it had the opposite effect.Xiaochen's anger and anger today are all driven out by his calmness and calmness.Now that Gong Ming found the crux of the problem, he knew what he was going to do next.He just needs to reveal himself to him without reservation and let him accept himself again.
84. Duplicity
Seeing Gong Ming driving the car out of the city, He Chen saw that he was coming for real, but still had no intention of stopping.After the car got off the viaduct, He Chen turned to Gong Ming and said, "Stop the car and let me go!"
"The car has arrived here, so why give up halfway?" Gong Ming said calmly, looking ahead, and asked calmly, "Aren't you going to visit Aunt Wen's grave today?"
"I've changed my mind now, I don't want to go today." He Chen turned his head to look at Gong Ming, emphasizing on purpose.
Gong Ming knew that he was angry with him, so he still looked ahead, as if he didn't hear it at all, and continued to drive the car calmly.After a while, He Chen couldn't hold his breath anymore. Seeing that Gong Ming didn't respond to his words, he raised his voice and asked him a little anxiously: "Stop! Didn't you hear what I said? What do you want to do? "
Gong Ming held the steering wheel and replied calmly: "Isn't it obvious what I'm doing? I'll drive you back to City A to see Aunt Wen. You've been out for two years, and you haven't seen Aunt Wen once in two years. Now you're back." , don’t hurry up to see her right away. If Aunt Wen finds out, how sad will she be?”
After hearing Gong Ming's words, He Chen remained silent for a while.Gong Ming saw that the car had driven some distance away from City C, and He Chen didn't mention to get off the car again.After a while, he asked He Chen tentatively: "Xiao Chen, do you remember that sentence in the message I sent you after you boarded the plane before you left the country?"
He Chen didn't reply, but how could he not remember.To this day, on that message, every word of that sentence, even the punctuation marks inside, he still remembers which font was written in.
Regardless of whether he still remembers it or not, Gong Ming directly reported the answer by asking and answering himself: "When you come back, we will start again!" This is what he wants to say to He Chen now.
He Chen felt that he was about to blurt out what he wanted to promise him, but he immediately realized that he was no different from two years ago.He can't always be that little boy who just makes him laugh and coax him a few words, so that he will always do whatever he wants, and he doesn't know how to value and cherish himself.
So, with such thoughts in mind, He Chen categorically rejected Gong Ming: "Impossible!"
"Why?" At this moment, Gong Ming who asked this sentence was flustered.He almost thought that he had lost his chance, but in the next second, he suddenly thought of He Chen's duplicity.Thinking of Du Jia's advice to him again, Gong Ming tentatively asked He Chen, "Do you have someone? Is it the boy I saw the other day who slept in the same room as you?"
"You asked after you guessed it?" He Chen tacitly agreed. He completely forgot that he had clarified this matter with Du Jia, and he never thought that Du Jia would tell Gong Ming about their conversation without any changes. As for when he heard the following words from Gong Ming, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the car and get in.
"Don't mislead me on purpose again! Du Jia has already told me everything, your roommate is a real straight man." Seeing that He Chen is still the same as before, Gong Ming couldn't help a slight smile from the corner of his mouth, and said happily, "You are still the same as two years ago, competitive and like to use this kind of moves to test me..."
Before Gong Ming could finish speaking, He Chen said not to be outdone, "You are still the same as you were two years ago, full of self-confidence. Two years ago, I might have unintentionally tried to test you, but now I don't even bother to do it." something like this."
Gong Ming didn't want to distinguish the authenticity of He Chen's words, he just felt his anger from his tone, and he realized that he might be a little self-defeating.Then, after a long silence, Gong Ming spoke again, and confessed to He Chen in a low tone: "I'm not confident at all. If Du Jia hadn't told me, I'm afraid I'd be thinking wildly about next year."
He Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he carefully reviewed what Gong Ming said just now in his mind, he couldn't believe it.Is this Gong Ming's real idea?But no matter what, it seemed that it was the first time he heard Gong Ming speak to him in such an unconfident tone in front of him.In the past, Gong Ming always had a calm attitude in front of him at any time, and he would never let him see his weakness.
Although He Chen was moved when he saw Gong Ming showing weakness, he still turned his head and said unforgivingly, "I didn't see it!"
Gong Ming sighed lightly, and continued to use the tone just now, explaining to He Chen: "Everyone has many sides, and it's normal that you can't see one side of me. But you can't blame me, you can only blame me , I used to deliberately not show my cowardly and weak side in front of you, but I didn't expect to make you think that I was indifferent to you, and I messed up things. I just want to show myself very well in front of you. Strong, I want to be your solid support. But I forgot to empathize, pay attention to your feelings, and consider what you need. Compared with an invincible superman, you can just want someone who simply loves you, I Should have understood this earlier..."
Having said that, Gong Ming paused.Seeing that He Chen still turned his head and looked out the window, he didn't respond.He thought that since the conversation had reached this point, he might as well be brave today and break the deadlock.Therefore, Gong Ming plucked up his courage and asked He Chenfa again: "You said that you did two years ago, but now you don't bother to do it again. Then, I want to know, is the person you liked two years ago now the same?" Don't you bother to continue liking?"
He Chen turned back his head, which had been looking out the window, and finally had a reaction. He looked at Gong Ming, and asked back, "You really want to know?"
"Yeah." Gong Ming turned to look at him and replied seriously.
"That's good." He Chen pointed to a stop on the right front of the car, and said intentionally, "Stop the car and let me get down, and I'll tell you the answer."
Gong Ming slammed on the accelerator and drove in the direction pointed by He Chen.Fortunately, He Chen was wearing a seat belt, otherwise he felt that he might be pushed into the front drawer by the recoil force generated by the car's acceleration.
In less than a minute, Gong Ming drove to He Chen's designated place, which surprised He Chen a bit.He Chen couldn't figure out what Gong Ming wanted to do, he had repeatedly yelled at him before, and he would rather be accused of being a kidnapper than let him go.Now that the journey is almost halfway through, is he really willing to let him go?Just because he wanted to know the answer to the question "Does he still like him now?"
Thinking of this, He Chen felt guilty.He just provoked him on purpose just now, trying to make him anxious and angry, but he didn't intend to answer him at all.He knew the answer to this question clearly in his heart, but he didn't want to let Gong Ming see his hole cards so easily, he should be proud again.But he didn't want to lie to him, He Chen was very afraid that once Gong Ming heard him say that he didn't like him anymore, he would turn around and leave, giving up completely.
However, until now, Gong Ming has fulfilled his promise and parked the car at the place he designated.If he does not answer, it becomes that he has not kept his promise.But is he really going to go down here?This rest station is between the highways of City C and City A. There is no village or shop in front of this place.If Gong Ming really lets him get off the car here, how will he go to City A alone, or return to City C after he gets off?
For a while, He Chen couldn't get off the tiger.Sensing that Gong Ming turned his head and was watching him all the time, He Chen turned his body to the car door on his side in a panic, and then made a gesture to reach out to open the door.When he found that Gong Ming hadn't unlocked it at all, and the car door couldn't be opened at all, He Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.But he still turned his head anxiously and said to Gong Ming, "Can you unlock it for me? You won't let me go down, how can I tell you?"
Gong Ming looked at He Chen, paused for a moment, and then said calmly, "Stop making trouble, Xiao Chen. Whether the car door can be opened or not, you are not going to answer me."
"..." Has it been seen through again?He Chen was depressed, but he still pretended to be angry and asked him, "You know I won't answer, so why did you park the car here on purpose? Are you teasing me on purpose?"
"No." Gong Ming was not offended by him, but told him calmly, "I think if you really hate staying with me so much and don't want me to accompany you to see Aunt Wen, then I will stay with you." Turn around here and send you back. You haven’t been back to see Aunt Wen for two years. Don’t take the time to see Aunt Wen. I’ll ruin your mood again. If you really don’t want to, I’ll send you back to c City, change to Du Jia or Zhang Yunchao to drive with you."
After Gong Ming finished speaking, the confined space in the car fell into silence.He Chen looked straight ahead, and out of the corner of his eye, Gong Ming opened the window and lit a cigarette.He didn't say another word, but He Chen knew that he was waiting for his answer.After He Chen fought with his own heaven and man in his heart, he finally made up his mind to tell Gong Ming his decision, but his words were still holding on to his unyielding self-esteem, "The car has already driven here, let's go again!" Go back and change to Brother Jia or Brother Chao to be the driver, they should think I'm crazy!"
Seeing that Gong Ming had finished smoking a cigarette, and the window pane was raised quietly, but there was still no reaction from him.He Chen added anxiously, "I don't hate you enough, I hate you so much that I can't stay in the same car with you!"
"That is to say, you still hate me?" Gong Ming's tone was calm and creepy, "It's just a matter of degree?"
He Chen was shocked into silence, not knowing how to answer.From the corner of the eye, he caught sight of Gong Ming's disappointed profile. It seemed that he took what he said just now seriously, and He Chen felt a little regretful.
Just when he was hesitating whether to speak up for remedies, Gong Ming finally stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out of the rest stop.Seeing that he didn't turn around, but continued to drive straight to City A, He Chen's hanging heart finally let go.At this moment, he violently complained about himself for dozens of rounds in his heart, he was really worthless, he was asking for trouble o(╯□╰)o85. Love words and expressions
Afterwards, when the two went to visit the grave, and during the drive back, Gong Ming didn't ask He Chen any more questions, nor said anything irrelevant to him.He Chen felt a little uneasy. He realized that he was still the same as two years ago, unable to guess what Gong Ming was thinking, but his concern for him was still the same as before.
It wasn't until the car drove into City C that Gong Ming finally spoke. He asked He Chen, "Where will I take you back? The hotel where you stayed that day?"
"...Mmm." He Chen was in a trance for a moment, and the voice of the reply was barely audible.
Without saying a word, Gong Ming turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the direction of the hotel.At the entrance of the hotel, Gong Ming stopped the car.This time, he unlocked the door early.Before pushing the door and getting off the car, He Chen hesitated whether to speak to Gong Ming, but in the end he still didn't think of saying something to him.So, he turned around and opened the car door, and started to leave in a muffled voice.
When he stepped out of the car door with one leg, he suddenly felt unable to move, and his left hand was quietly held in the palm of Gong Ming.Gong Ming gently pulled him back, and He Chen pulled him along, his heart seemed to miss a beat.
He turned his head, a little nervous, looked at Gong Ming expectantly and asked, "Why?"
"It's okay." Gong Ming smiled crookedly, looked at He Chen and said, "Suddenly I miss you."
He Chen was stunned: "..."
In the past, Gong Ming would never take the initiative to say such things to him, even if he would say it occasionally, it was reluctantly said according to He Chen's words.He Chen always felt that he had been in love for so many years in vain, and he didn't have the skill of talking about love at all.
When he was in a daze, He Chen suddenly heard Gong Ming say to him again: "I heard from Du Jia that your band will rest tomorrow and you don't need to rehearse. If you are fine, you can come to my house, and I will help you." You cook your favorite saliva chicken and king oyster mushrooms. During the time you went abroad, I improved and practiced these two dishes. Now my skills in cooking these two dishes are comparable to those of chefs, and I promise not to let you down You are disappointed."
Seeing that He Chen just looked at him and didn't reply.Gong Ming thought he was worried about the location of the invitation, and then quickly let go and said: "If your friend is okay, you can also bring it with you. It seems that he takes good care of you. I guess you often give people a lot when you are abroad." Trouble. I just take this opportunity to thank him."
After Gong Ming finished speaking, he let go of He Chen's hand.Just when he thought that He Chen would ask him "Is there any reason for him to thank his friend", he saw He Chen withdrew his left hand and said lightly, "Let's talk!" Then, he pushed the car door again, turned around and got off. car.
Gong Ming watched his back for a long time, until He Chen walked into the hotel lobby, his back completely disappeared from his sight.Gong Mingcai stepped on the accelerator again and drove the car away.On the way to Shuxiangju to return the car, Gong Ming kept thinking about the details of getting along with He Chen today.He Chen's every reaction to him, every look in his eyes, is there any change from when he first came back.
Although Gong Ming had had several relationship experiences, he found more and more that these experiences were completely useless in his relationship with He Chen, and he was completely a novice in love.He really doubted what he was talking about in his previous love affairs.However, after thinking about it, he felt that today was still rewarding.Although he still doesn't know whether He Chen still has feelings for him, but through today's communication and getting along, he clearly feels that the distance between them has been pulled closer than when He Chen returned to China.He could tell just by looking at He Chen's ambiguous answer when he finally left.
Before he knew it, Gong Ming had already driven the car to the gate of Shuxiangju.After parking the car, he took the key and walked in.As soon as Gong Ming entered, he saw Du Jia at the cash register.He is on vacation today and is helping Zhang Yunchao to calculate last year's accounts.At this time, Zhang Yunchao was gathering with a few middle school classmates in the box inside, not at the cash register.
Du Jia has been watching Gong Ming's expression since he saw him walk in.He was the one who gave Gong Ming the car keys, and he was the one who set up this opportunity to get along with He Chen, so he naturally cared about the result of his painstaking efforts.Therefore, when Gong Ming walked to the cash register and returned the car keys to Du Jia, Du Jia didn't care about the account at all, and asked directly, "How about today...? Chen, has his attitude changed?"
"I can't tell." Gong Ming knew that Du Jia really cared about them, and didn't want to hide it.But regarding Xiaochen's attitude today, he was really uncertain for a while.
Hearing this, Du Jia thought that the situation was not optimistic, and Gong Ming suffered a setback from He Chen.So, he comforted Gong Ming and said, "It's okay, if it doesn't work this time, you can ask him out a few more times. You have a relationship foundation, and I don't believe Xiaochen will be so unfeeling."
"Well, I've already made an appointment." Gong Ming looked at Du Jia and said with a wry smile, "It depends on tomorrow whether it will work or not."
If He Chen is willing to come to his house, it proves that there is still drama between them.If even this meeting is rejected, Gong Ming is afraid that even if he summons up the courage to pursue He Chen again, his hope will be very slim.
"Come on!" Du Jia said to Gong Ming worriedly while encouraging him, "He Chen told me that their band's performance here will end in the middle of the month. Rent a house here, and save it until the start of the Music University, but I'm afraid he will change his mind at some point, and he might go back to Paris with the orchestra..."
Gong Ming knew Du Jia's concerns. Once He Chen decided to stay abroad, the chances of them getting back together would be even slimmer.At that time, let alone talking about love, it will be difficult to meet each other.But at a time when he was still not sure of He Chen's true thoughts, Gong Ming didn't dare to push He Chen too hard.He thought in his heart that He Chen had already declined once today.For the next invitation, wait 12 hours, and ask He Chen tomorrow morning at the earliest.
After leaving Shuxiangju, Gong Ming went to the supermarket near his home alone, and bought some Chinese food ingredients that Xiao Chen loved.Although Xiaochen has not yet confirmed that he will come to the house tomorrow, he can't tell whether it is intuition or hope.In short, he believed that Xiaochen would definitely come tomorrow, so he had to prepare in advance now.
After buying the ingredients, when Gong Ming returned home, it was almost 9 o'clock.Seeing that the house was a little messy, he didn't bother to do it. He just took out the meat he bought from the crisper, cut it into sections, marinated it, put it in the refrigerator, took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, Gong Mingcai got up early and began to tidy up the room. He tore the Pleurotus eryngii mushrooms by hand and put them in the refrigerator again.After processing the ingredients and cleaning the house, Gong Ming put on his coat and went downstairs with his mobile phone.
Before going out, he glanced at the time displayed on the wall clock, it was a quarter to ten.Yesterday, Gong Ming originally wanted to send Gong Ming a WeChat message in the morning to ask more questions.But when he was fully prepared today, his desire to see He Chen at home became more urgent.
So, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to drive directly to the downstairs of the He Chen Hotel to pick him up, and to be more active in asking him out.He knew that He Chen liked to sleep in. He calculated the time and estimated that when he arrived at the downstairs of the hotel and sent He Chen a WeChat message, He Chen would either be lying in bed or half asleep.Gong Ming thought, when He Chen was not fully awake, let him see his WeChat, the probability of He Chen agreeing to him instinctively was higher.
With such thoughts in mind, Gong Ming walked briskly into the garage.However, what he didn't expect was that He Chen had woken up early and was now fully awake.
Two hours ago, Chen Peng was awakened by urination, got up from the bed in a daze, and went straight to the bathroom.On a cold winter morning, before the sun had fully risen, the windows of the hotel room were covered by thick curtains, and the whole room was pitch black.
Chen Peng pushed open the door of the bathroom sleepily, and accidentally bumped into a soft object.He felt that this thing was still warm, so scared that he immediately opened his eyes wide and woke up.It turned out that the thing he just bumped into was He Chen's arm, and He Chen was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom and brushing his hair.
"Scared me to death!" Chen Peng looked at He Chen's white shirt and exclaimed with lingering fear, "I thought I ran into a ghost!"
He Chen took a look at him and said nothing, and Chen Peng also forgot that he was going to go to the toilet, and then asked He Chen: "Why do you get up so early? Are you going to the next city to visit the grave? No, you just went there yesterday." !"
"...I have insomnia." He Chen said nonsense.
He looked at himself in the mirror, young, confident, and energetic, and he nodded, satisfied with himself.Thinking about returning to that home again, it must be in a brand new state.
Chen Peng looked at him in disbelief, and said contemptuously, "With your look, you can perform directly on stage without makeup. Insomnia...is it because you are so excited?"
Chen Peng remembered that after He Chen came back last night, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.He asked him if something good happened and he didn't say anything.But he knew that He Chen was going to visit his mother's grave during the day, so he didn't dare to ask further questions, not wanting to pry into other people's privacy too much.
He Chen was caught by his words, and asked him angrily: "Then what are you going to do after waking up so early on your holiday? Do you have a date?"
"Acquaintance with your sister! How can there be a girl to ask me to date!" He poked at Chen Peng's sore point where he didn't have a girl, and he was so excited that he pushed He Chen away, "Get out, don't delay me peeing!"
He Chen smiled and was pushed out of the bathroom by him. At this moment, he suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing in the room.Gong Ming's face flashed across He Chen's mind, and he happily went over to pick it up.
At that time, Gong Ming had already driven downstairs to the Hechen Hotel.After parking the car, he just took out his mobile phone from his jacket pocket, and before he had time to dial He Chen, he received a call from his male postgraduate student Zhao Yu: "Teacher, it's not good, your office has been stolen!"
86. Stolen and missed appointments
Has the office been burglarized?
Holding up the phone, Gong Ming complained in surprise, "It's New Year's Eve, it's understandable for a thief to steal something and go home for the holidays, but why would he choose to steal from the university's office?"
Gong Ming selfishly felt that even the student's dormitory was probably better than his office.Thinking of the things in his office, he was not worried at all, instead he comforted Zhao Yu on the phone: "It's okay, don't worry, I don't have anything valuable in my office. If it gets messed up, you don't have to worry too much." Panic, I'll go back to clean up after I finish my New Year's leave."
At this moment, Gong Ming didn't have the heart to take care of that barren office.He just wanted to hang up Zhao Yu's phone and call He Chen right away.
However, Zhao Yu didn't understand the anxiety expressed in the teacher's words, and stopped Gong Ming who wanted to hang up the phone again, "No, teacher! The problem now is not what valuables you lost, but more troublesome Something is missing. According to the police who came over, it seems to be an important document locked in your drawer."
"Important documents?" For a moment, Gong Ming was taken aback by his words.Why doesn't he know that there are important documents in his office that need to be locked?What's more, although there is a lock on his desk, he has been working here for almost three years, and he has never locked it once.He doesn't think he has anything that needs to be so precious, so discreet, that it needs to be locked.
With Gong Ming's face in a daze, Zhao Yu continued to reveal the situation to him: "Now there are a few people in police uniforms in your office. I can't hear you clearly outside. They seem to be I am discussing with the dean to ask you to come back to assist in the investigation."
"Investigate what?" Just as Gong Ming asked, he suddenly heard a busy voice of "beep beep" from the microphone.Gong Ming moved the phone away from his ear, glanced at the bright screen, and saw a call coming in, it was his office landline number.Then, he said to Zhao Yu on the other end of the phone, "There is a call coming in, thank you for letting me know the situation in advance, I will hang up first."
As soon as Gong Ming picked up the phone, he heard the dean's voice on the phone, "Don't ask anything, come to the school right now!"
"Now?" Although Gong Ming saw the number, he thought that the school let him pass.But he still deliberately delayed the time, and asked knowingly on the phone, "You suddenly called me back during the holiday, what's the matter, Dean?"
The dean didn't exchange greetings with him, but ordered him in a serious tone, "Come here first and then talk!"
After hanging up the phone, Gong Ming raised his head subconsciously, and glanced at the hotel building where He Chen was located through the window glass.He sighed, put on his seat belt helplessly, turned the car around, and headed straight for the school.
*********
After He Chen was pushed out of the bathroom by Chen Peng, he heard the phone ringing on the bed.He ran over happily, picked up the phone without even looking at the name displayed on the screen, only to hear a strange female voice from the microphone, and was extremely disappointed.He had preconceived that this call was from Gong Ming, so when he heard someone else's voice, he would be disappointed.
When Chen Peng came back from the bathroom, he saw He Chen sitting on the bed dejectedly, like a frost-beaten eggplant. He was completely different from the mental state he was in front of the mirror when he was vigorously tossing his hair upside down just now.
Chen Peng walked over in a daze, and asked him with concern: "What's the matter, why are you suddenly so sad?"
He Chen lowered his head and didn't say anything.Chen Peng remembered that when he was closing the bathroom door just now, he vaguely heard the phone ringing outside.So, he tentatively asked He Chen: "Did old John call you again to bother you? I'll help you warn him!"
Old John is the manager of the Philharmonic Orchestra. He is in his 40s and has a wife and son in France, but he always uses excuses to pester He Chen.If He Chen hadn't confessed his sexuality to him, Chen Peng might still not be able to figure out the clue.
He Chen didn't know how to explain his sudden loss to Chen Peng, it was supposed that he just didn't get a call from Gong Ming.It's still early now, so he doesn't have to be too impatient.But for some reason, when He Chen answered the call just now, he vaguely felt that if this call was wrong, he might not even be able to receive Gong Ming's call today.
But seeing his friend anxiously fighting for him, He Chen couldn't bear to let him continue to worry for him.So, He Chen told Chen Peng casually: "It's not old John, I just answered a call to sell insurance. The salesman kept chattering with me, and I got a little tired of hearing it."
"Hi! I thought it was because of something extraordinary?" Sitting on his bed, Chen Peng comforted He Chen and said, "At least you should understand the nature of his work. It's a big holiday, and he's still working overtime. , how difficult it is!"
"Yes, yes, I know!" He Chen said and lay back on the bed.
He and Chen Peng lived in a standard room, a small one.It's not that the Philharmonic Orchestra's budget is tight, but because there are very few rooms in this hotel because it's the time of visiting relatives during the holidays.Naturally, the senior musicians and teachers of the orchestra should be arranged first, especially some older ones.In order for them to have a good rest, the orchestra's support staff also left them a single room in the hotel.Chen Peng is the youngest member of the orchestra, and He Chen was also recommended by his mentor to join the tour. It's not bad that they can get into this small standard room.
Besides, being able to live in this standard room with Chen Peng also saved He Chen a lot of trouble.Before, when John, the manager of the band, was in France, he would often find various reasons for his work, which made He Chen unable to refuse, so he used excuses to get close to him.Now it's the time of the tour, and He Chen wants to live outside all the time. He is really worried that he will sneak into his room for some reason.Now that he could live with Chen Peng, he suddenly felt much safer.
He Chen lay on the bed, flipping through his phone subconsciously.He couldn't help thinking in his head: Did Gong Ming forget the invitation he said yesterday?He said that we will talk about it tomorrow, doesn't he understand what it means?Or did he lose the courage to continue asking him out after being rejected once?No way... Now he has become a rascal who will forcefully kiss and kidnap him if he disagrees with him. Does he still care about this face?But if it wasn't for these reasons, why didn't he call himself?It's past ten o'clock now, and it will be lunch time in more than an hour. Could it be that he wants to invite himself to dinner...
He Chen lay on the bed, thinking over and over.When he realized that his head had touched the pillow, he sat up quickly again, worried about messing up the hair he had just smoothed out.In order to avoid the situation of lying down after sitting just now, He Chen stood up, walked to the small sofa by the window sill, and sat down.
Half an hour later, He Chen still didn't receive a call from Gong Ming, and he began to feel more and more uncertain.Chen Peng looked at He Chen who was fidgeting, and asked helplessly, "Are you leaving or staying? Are you waiting for someone to call?"
He Chen shook his head like a rattle, "No, no."
"I have a dinner appointment with my junior high school classmates. After eating, I can go to ktv to sing." Chen Peng took advantage of the opportunity to invite He Chen and said, "If you are fine, do you want to come together?"
He Chen shook his head at him again, and said, "You can concentrate on getting together with your friends, I won't bother you anymore."
Chen Peng saw that He Chen was absent-minded, so he must have something on his mind.Seeing him turning on his phone and taking a look at him every now and then, Chen Peng knew that He Chen must be waiting for someone to contact him.When he was in the French apartment, he discovered that He Chen had the habit of staring at his mobile phone.In the past, Chen Peng was not sure who he was waiting for to contact, but now, he had some clues about this matter.Now that he knew what He Chen was thinking, he didn't try to persuade him any more.He knew that He Chen had strong self-esteem, so he would not deliberately expose him to show his keen observation skills.
Before leaving, Chen Peng put on his coat and told He Chen, "Lock the door when you go out, and if no one eats with you at night, just call me. I will bring takeaway and come back early to accompany you."
"Okay, I got it, you can go out without worry!" He Chen glanced at the phone, thinking that maybe the ringtone would ring in the next second, and Gong Ming would call to ask him out.His dinner will be at that familiar home, at the familiar table.He will eat the Chinese food that Gong Ming personally prepared for him, and if all goes well, maybe he can stay overnight.
After Chen Peng left, He Chen sat alone on the sofa in the hotel, looking down at his mobile phone.He glanced at the top of the phone screen from time to time, noting the change of time.However, until He Chen swiped his phone to the point of running out of battery, and finally fell asleep leaning on the sofa tiredly, he didn't wait for Gong Ming's call.
On the other hand, Gong Ming, who drove to the school, wanted to quickly deal with the theft in the office, so he went back home to pick up He Chen.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the office, he almost couldn't get out.
Two officers in police uniforms showed the video from the school monitoring room to Gong Ming. From the corridor outside the office, Gong Ming saw a figure slipping to the door of his office, stealthily breaking open the door lock, and then slipped into his office.The video showed that about half an hour later, the man walked out of his office with a document bag in his hand.
The video stays here, and the police zoom in on the picture.Gong Ming saw a man wearing a peaked cap coming out of his office. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could only tell that he was a young man based on his movements and posture.
Later, the police enlarged the picture of the thief's face, pointed at his face, and asked Gong Ming, "Do you know him?"
However, the resolution of the picture is too low.Gong Ming couldn't see his real appearance clearly, he shook his head, and replied to the policeman, "I don't know him."
But the moment he spoke, Gong Ming looked at the face in the camera, and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.This face... He seems to have seen it somewhere, but why can't he remember it for a while.
87. Framed and on TV
After Gong Ming finished his reply, he immediately moved his eyes away from the scene in the video.Then, he found two policemen looking at him with disdainful eyes.One of the policemen, with a straight face, looks like an interrogator
