Floating Perfume Shop
Chapter 39 Trading
He thought about Zhang Wenshan's hatred for him, guessed the reason and depth of this hatred, but never thought that this hatred actually contained desire.This is a dangerous decision. When Xiao Chongyun took that step, his heart was as still as water.
He turned off the phone screen and put it away, as if what he just received was an ordinary text message between classmates, then looked back at Zhang Wenshan's dark eyes, and shook his head: "Brother, that's not the case, I can't give you what you want. something you want."
Xiao Chongyun's expression was almost sad: "I didn't mean that."
Zhang Wenshan was shocked suddenly.
In that space made up of threats and oppression, Zhang Wenshan's face suddenly turned pale. At that moment, there was even a trace of fear and shake in his expression. Xiao Chongyun felt that it should be an illusion.
His voice was hoarse: "You are lying."
The collar was grabbed, the neck was strangled with severe pain, and there was a lack of oxygen for a moment, Zhang Wenshan clung to his ear: "Think about what you said, there is no such meaning, how can you say it?"
Words popped out from the gap between the teeth, every sentence was cold, like a knife, each word stabbed the person in front of him to death.Xiao Chongyun tried hard to recall the content of the text messages he had sent, forcing his brain to work, looking for clues of ambiguity from the past fawning and showing weakness, and then took a breath: "Brother, you know I don't."
Zhang Wenshan remained silent.
"Brother, I just thought, if you have a little nostalgia, maybe you will let me go." Xiao Chongyun said in a low voice, "You misunderstood."
Zhang Wenshan let go of his hand, and the air was refilled into his lungs. Xiao Chongyun supported the wall with his hands and tried to stand upright: "I'm sorry for misunderstood you."
The man in front of him pursed his lips, expressionless.The thin winter sun fell on his face, like a pale and lifeless wax figure in a museum, with the chill of the outdoors soaking in his bones.This approach is too risky, Xiao Chongyun dare not think about what will happen if the next negotiation breaks down.
He subconsciously tightened his palms, his nails dug into the flesh, and mentally formed a defensive posture.If at this time, Zhang Wenshan slapped him or punched him, it was within the expected range.In a ten-thousandth of a second, he even considered that the man in front of him was carrying a gun, and if the barrel of the gun touched his jaw, what choice he would make.
However, none of the expected consequences occurred.
Zhang Wenshan just stood like this, looked at him quietly, and nodded after a long time: "That's because I misunderstood you."
He bent down, opened the suitcase at his feet, took out two new winter clothes from it, folded them and placed them on the chair next to him, then lifted the suitcase again, straightened his waist: "I'm just being sentimental, you think I've never came."
In all fairness, Zhang Wenshan's face can be considered handsome, but because of the melancholy in his temperament, the first impression is gloomy and dark.At this time, his expressionless face showed the typical outline of the Xiao family, which was as attractive as the alabaster statue in the studio.He picked up the suitcase and walked towards the door. When he got to the door, he didn't know why he didn't step on it firmly. His left foot tripped over his right foot, and he almost couldn't stand.
The door lock was rusty and old. He tried several times to open it. He held the handle and turned his head. He didn't look back: "Is the black tea good?"
The cup of tea had already been drunk, and there was not a single drop of water left in the glass. Xiao Chongyun could no longer identify what was in it, but he clearly knew that ginseng had been mixed with aphrodisiacs in his mother's morning tea.He can call his mother to ask his mother not to drink morning tea, but can a person not drink hot water, soup, coffee, or any liquid all the time?As long as you drink water, danger follows you.
"Is the black tea good?"
This was a blatant threat and hint, and Xiao Chongyun felt chills all over his body.He squeezed the palm of his hand fiercely, relying on the sudden burst of pain to dispel the chill, and tried his best to make his voice sound calm and normal: "It's delicious."
Zhang Wenshan nodded and opened the door: "Just like it."
With only one step, he stepped out of the room. Xiao Chongyun rushed up and hugged the man who was about to leave from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, like a child: "Brother."
Xiao Chongyun is thinner than Zhang Wenshan, this hug is not too hard, and he can easily break free, but the man in his arms didn't move, his body froze obviously.
He just stood motionless, letting Xiao Chongyun hug him from behind.
"Brother," Xiao Chongyun said slowly, as if every word had been carefully thought out, extremely solemn, "I'm sorry, I can't give you what you want. I can't face the world's gossip, and I'm not strong enough. But If, I mean if——you are willing to forget the past, leave the Xiao family with me, go to a new place, and start from scratch, I will seriously consider it. We can start from a small perfume company and start from scratch."
"No one will know who we are, no hereditary hatred can bind us, no one can comment on this relationship, every ounce of happiness we earn is our own..."
This condition is very heavy, far better than Xiao Chongyun's concession clause before, and no reasonable person would agree to it.It was just that at that moment, he gambled on the depth of his desire for the man in front of him.He would not believe any promises or words this person made, but he wanted to seduce Zhang Wenshan, let him pretend to do something even under the temptation.
When you decide to accept something, the wisest thing to do is to show a gesture of rejection, put hope after disappointment, and hide poison in the stamen of a rose.Therefore, Xiao Chongyun rejected all of them first, and then put forward new conditions again.
The conditions can be compromised step by step, and the attitude can be lowered a little bit. The so-called exorbitant price can be paid back on the ground.
Zhang Wenshan saw through the meaning of the words at a glance, and there was not even a trace of ups and downs in his tone: "You are tempting me to elope with you."
"Yes."
"You feel that by leaving this family, you are leaving the shackles of the past."
"Yes."
"You are using yourself as a bargaining chip to replace all my wealth."
"If you think I'm worth it."
Xiao Chongyun is waiting for rebuttal, ridicule and renegotiation.
However, Zhang Wenshan just sneered: "I think you might be worth it, let me think about it."
It is true that Zhang Wenshan came to transit, or that the time interval between his two air tickets was very tight, so he drove to Nice that night, and soon the Chinese version of the newspaper here reported that the chairman of Yashe was deploying a new project in a first-tier city in the Mainland According to the news, the time is the afternoon when I just got off the plane.
Unlike Zhang Wenshan, Xiao Chongyun's schedule is much easier.Shortly after Christmas, when school resumed, he commuted between the lab and his professor's lecture room.He has participated in many projects of launching perfumes, and has some papers to be published. Even when he occasionally gives pointers to elementary school students, he always checks the information with a turning point.
Nicolas asked him: "Senior Xiao, you look different recently."
Xiao Chongyun asked him with a smile: "What's the difference?"
"It seems like I'm rushing to finish all my life's work," said the elementary school boy very aggrieved, "I've been looking for you several times, and every time I'm in the laboratory, it's like if you don't publish a paper now, you won't have a chance to publish it in the future. If you don't now If you try a new fragrance, you will have no chance to try it in the future, not now..."
Xiao Chongyun interrupted him: "I was returning books in the library a few days ago, and saw those two punks guarding your usual seat last time. They didn't make things difficult for you anymore, did they?"
"No, no," Nicolas waved his hand, "This kind of bully organization is bullying and fearing the hard. After being taught by Senior Xiao, I am much more honest. I despise this kind of second-generation ancestor who bullies the weak, bullies the weak and fears the hard, doesn't study hard, and wastes family money. Seniors, seniors, you What are you chopping, I'll help you—oh shit—!"
Xiao Chongyun was cutting a section of spices, when the elementary school boy stretched out his hand, it was just under the knife edge, and blood was seen immediately.Although the wound is small, disinfection cannot be ignored.Xiao Chongyun got up to look for medicine, but there was only alcohol. He could only sigh when his junior heard ghosts and wolves howling, and pulled up his injured index finger, bowed his head and sucked the wound.
The soil method taught by my mother when I was a child, the salivary enzyme has a bactericidal effect.
The effect was very good. After sucking for a while, the primary school boy stopped screaming, but still screamed pitifully in pain.
Xiao Chongyun checked the hand with only a small hole: "Where does it still hurt? Do you want to suck it for you again?"
"Thank you, Senior Xiao. It's not there, nor here...it's here, yes, it's here that hurts." The elementary school boy touched his chest, looking forward to it, "Senior, my heart hurts, can you..."
Xiao Chongyun turned indifferently and looked for alcohol: "No."
Xiao Chongyun's laboratory is on the ground floor of No. [-] Teaching Building, Ji Fangdan Ruole.The two punks squatted in the corner, staring at the warm light of the laboratory, whispering.
Xiao Baihu asked Xiao Qinglong: "Did the boss cry just now? Wasn't he really awesome last time when his head was caught in the door and he kept silent?"
Xiao Qinglong: "Why did the boss get trapped by the door? Whoever caught him, let's beat him!"
"That time he hid at the door and eavesdropped on the senior's phone call. The senior knocked and pushed the door and came out. He pushed too hard, and the boss was hit by the door on the wall behind him. At that time, he had a very large bump on his forehead, and he insisted on holding on. He didn't say a word."
"Boss is so pitiful."
"Poor fart, Fatty Sun!" Little White Tiger said, "He later went to tell his senior that we beat him up! We spent a whole day at the senior's house! Do you dare to beat the boss? Do you dare?"
The laboratory only had denatured alcohol, Xiao Chongyun flipped through it for a while and gave up, and the text message suddenly rang.The sender is Zhang Wenshan.After the Christmas meeting, he called Zhang Wenshan again, but he hung up immediately after answering the call. He was already a little disheartened and planned to make another plan.
Zhang Wenshan didn't mention conditions, nor did he say he would consider the result, but just sent a map to locate it.Xiao Chongyun checked the location. It is a small island in the Pacific Ocean. It has a warm climate and is rich in spices. There are many routes on the island, and the transportation is very convenient.
All he said was, "What do you think of this place?"
He turned off the phone screen and put it away, as if what he just received was an ordinary text message between classmates, then looked back at Zhang Wenshan's dark eyes, and shook his head: "Brother, that's not the case, I can't give you what you want. something you want."
