not a decent stand-in

No one remembers how it happened.

When Xiang Yindong woke up, he had already kissed Zuo Tong's lips.

The back alley in the dark was terribly quiet, only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard.

Zuo Tong didn't know whether he was frightened stupid, or he couldn't react for a while, being held in Xiang Yindong's arms, his whole body was stiff and he forgot to struggle.

In fact, this kiss was initially filled with anger.

Xiang Yindong's lips pressed hard against Zuo Tong's lips, more like a punishment.

But the soft and cold touch on Zuo Tong's lips seemed to be tempted by taboos, and soon he couldn't help but want to feel more.

The tip of Xiang Yindong's tongue pushed Zuo Tong's teeth away hesitantly, and stuck into his mouth that smelled of alcohol, tentatively entangled with him.

Zuo Tong finally had a reaction, but he just resisted instinctively, resisting the other party's advances in a disorderly manner.

His body was firmly fixed in Xiang Yindong's arms, his tongue was chased, teased, and bitten by the man, as if a string of golden stars appeared in front of his eyes, and finally he gradually stopped resisting.

This kind of acquiescence, like a catalyst, made the nerves of both of them completely give up resistance.

They exchanged breaths with each other, using their own methods to attack each other's mouths.

It was not until breathing became difficult and had reached the point of severe hypoxia that they had to be separated.

Both of them were extremely sober at this moment, and even noticed the silver wires at the corners of their mouths when they parted.

Time stood still at this moment, and no one spoke, as if if they spoke, the seal of time and space would be broken, pulling them back to the cruel reality.

The faint light from unknown sources sprinkled on Zuo Tong's delicate skin, making the sweat on his forehead glow with a strange luster.

Xiang Yindong couldn't help stretching out his hand to wipe him.

This action finally broke the restriction of time and space.

Zuo Tong moved, his eyes were full of misty water, but his eyes were full of confusion.

Xiang Yindong panted heavily, and asked softly: "This time, you always believe it?"

The only sound in the back alley was the humming of the air conditioner, accompanied by heat flowing between them.

Zuo Tong was speechless, he didn't know if he was frightened, or he was reluctant to wake up from his dream.

After a long time, he squatted down and leaned against the wall.

"Do you... know what you're doing?" Zuo Tong wiped his face, his voice became hoarse due to depression, "Don't play tricks on me, Xiang Yindong, this is not fun at all..."

Xiang Yindong sighed, this person is always wrapped in a hard shell, seemingly invulnerable, but in fact, sometimes, he is so fragile that he can't stand a single blow.

As for himself, he was obviously a sharp weapon that could poke into his heart.

He carefully touched the top of the other party's head, gently rubbed his soft hair, and said in a deep voice, "I know..."

Zuo Tong raised his head to look at him, wanting to get more information from this sentence.

But at this time, the phone in Xiang Yindong's pocket rang, and the sound of music broke all the tranquility.

He took it out and saw that it was Ying Zhen calling, so he had to pick it up.

"Hey……"

"Fuck, where did you two go?" Ying Zhen muttered in a daze, "Come back quickly, I haven't had enough!"

"Drink your head, you can't even speak clearly!"

"Come back soon!"

"understood……"

Xiang Yindong hung up the phone, glanced sideways at Zuo Tong, and said helplessly, "That guy is awake, I can't let him drink anymore, let's send him back first..."

Both of them looked a little embarrassed at the moment, Zuo Tong turned his eyes away from him, turned and walked into the bar.

Xiang Yindong suddenly grabbed his hand and said seriously: "Give me some time..."

Zuo Tong was silent for a while, then broke away from his hand: "I know..."

He walked straight out of the alley, stood under the streetlight and took a deep breath.

For the kiss just now, he almost indulged himself in the thought of once in a lifetime.

It's like a person drifting in the vast ocean, finally found a life-saving driftwood.

After the ecstasy, one still has to face the stormy waves of the unknown.

But at least at this moment, he was lucky enough not to dare to ask for anything more.

Let the storm come harder...

When the two of them returned to the bar, Ying Zhen was staggering on the sofa and throwing up. Guan Peng held onto the trash can with a look of disgust and patted him on the back.

"You two are back!" Guan Peng pinched his nose and pointed at Ying Zhen, who was drunk like mud, "Hurry up and take him away, fuck, if this goes on, my store will be in the headlines tomorrow! The big star drunk Dead nightclub, unclaimed!"

"Okay, leave it to us, you go to work first!"

Xiang Yindong went up to help Ying Zhen up, and took a piece of clothing to cover his head, so as not to be photographed like this, it would really make headlines.

Zuo Tong called Steven over.

The two dragged and dragged Ying Zhen out of the bar, and sent them to the nanny car that Steven had found.

After Ying Zhen settled down, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiang Yindong sent Zuo Tong to the door of his house.

Looking at the back of the man leaving, she suddenly called out to him: "Xiaotong..."

Zuo Tong stopped, but didn't look back.

Xiang Yindong hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Have a good rest..."

Zuo Tong paused for a moment, then continued to walk forward, raised his hand and waved lightly at him.

The corner of Xiang Yindong's mouth curled into a smile, and then the smile became bigger and bigger.

There has always been this kind of tacit understanding between them. Many things don't need to be explained too clearly. They both know what to do.

He whistled in the darkness, started the car and drove away.

After that day, the two of them tacitly agreed, and neither of them mentioned what happened in the back alley again.

It's just that they both know in their hearts that the relationship between the two of them can't go back to the past.

Although no one knows what the next step is, at least they are all willing to move forward.

And no longer stand still and run away from each other.

Zuo Tong went to Hong Kong for a business trip again, and his busy work temporarily left him no time to think about the future.

The two of them occasionally contacted each other on the phone or WeChat, and what they said was to ask about their health and care about the progress of the work, but the feeling was obviously different from the past.

Some things are fermenting, and no one deliberately pokes them, but it has become the best time.

Alex is not around recently, Xiang Yindong keeps a low profile on the surface, but actually he is not idle.

The company he cooperates with Sue has entered the actual operation stage, and the two people have more contacts.

According to the information obtained by Alex, Jiang Yuanqing's financial situation was really tight during the beginning of the year. Not only did the funds in various accounts change frequently, but he also cashed out a large number of stocks and funds, and even sold two properties.

Xiang Yindong quickly found out through Sue's relationship in Hong Kong that Jiang Yuanqing once owed a huge amount of gambling debts in Macau and almost went bankrupt.

Around April and May, someone helped him pay off these gambling debts.

As expected, the person who helped him repay the debt was Qian Yueming.

It seems that there is no doubt that Jiang Yuanqing and Qian Yueming have joined forces to profit from Zhenghai.

But do they have anything to do with their own death?

Xiang Yindong still couldn't make a judgment lightly.

A few days later, Bureau A's project officially entered the bidding stage. Alex accompanied Xiang Chenyu and Chu Dongming to attend the meeting of the bidding party, and accidentally saw Qian Yueming at the venue.

Only then did Xiang Yindong know that a company under the Qianchao Group also participated in this bidding case.

The more obvious it was that the money came from bad intentions. Not only did Jiang Yuanqing act as an internal support for him, but he also successfully hooked up with Xiang Chenyu, which was definitely a threat to Zhenghai.

Xiang Yindong frowned, maybe it's time to clean up the house again.

While he was thinking about countermeasures, Chu Dongming also approached him.

"Xiaodong, there is something that I've been worried about. After much deliberation, I'd better talk to you!"

Xiang Yindong nodded: "Uncle Dong, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

"Chenyu recently got a girl in, her name is Wen Qi, she is not bad, but..." Chu Dongming blushed, and sighed a little embarrassedly, "I often come to see me in private, not to invite me to dinner, to talk about her The hard times in the past are just getting drunk and complaining to me, seeking comfort..."

Xiang Yindong was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Chu is nearly [-] years old, and her son is older than her, and she still sticks to it. This girl is indeed a bit "weird".

Chu Dongming coughed and continued, "At my age, it's not so easy to be seduced... Besides, this Wen Qi was introduced by Chen Yu. I heard from the people below that Chen Yu is pursuing her. So I think, Things are a bit strange, think about it, if she is a little girl, if she really wants to climb high, it is better to find Chenyu than me..."

Xiang Yindong thought to himself, looking for you is much better than looking for that kid, you are the one with real power!

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this girl, not for any other purpose..."

"Uncle Dong!" Xiang Yindong said with a smile, "I really admire you, if someone else has such an affair, if they don't rush to enjoy it, you'd be better off, just pretend that someone is plotting something wrong!"

"You're still joking!" Chu Dongming blushed, stood up and patted the table, "I'm already at this age, I haven't seen any woman before, this girl has always wanted to enter the A project, I'm afraid I'll miss the company big deal..."

Xiang Yindong quickly stopped laughing, and patted Chu Dongming on the shoulder: "Uncle Dong, I really admire you. Now is the critical period of bidding, and the possibility of competitors playing dirty tricks cannot be ruled out. How can you be so vigilant?" Sex, refuse the temptation, of course I am very happy!"

"You mean, this girl might be a commercial spy?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out..."

"Then what is the relationship between Chenyu and her?"

Xiang Yindong showed sarcasm, and said disdainfully: "It's just a chess piece, just a pedal..."

Chu Dongming frowned: "Then... what should I do?"

"Uncle Dong, since someone thinks they're smart, let's do our best..."

After the two discussed things, Chu Dongming left the office.

Xiang Yindong leaned on the back of the chair, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and dealt with all kinds of intrigues every day. Although his body wasn't too tired, his heart was really tired.

Suddenly, I wanted to see Zuo Tong very much, and even just listening to his voice seemed to calm my restless mood.

He took out his phone and was about to dial a number when a call came in.

The number display is Ying Zhen.

As soon as Xiang Yindong picked it up, he heard Tu Jie's voice, accompanied by a noisy background voice: "President Xiang, sorry to disturb you, can you contact our boss, something happened at the awards ceremony , I have been unable to get through his phone!"

"What's the matter?" He knew the urgency of the matter as soon as he heard Tu Jie's voice, and asked quickly, "Did something happen to Ying Zhen?"

"Yes... yes, he fell off the stage just now..."
