Xu Jun's life

I have a lot of dreams.

In the dream, I sometimes listened to the professor's lectures in the university, and sometimes I was preparing for the judicial examination in the damp and dark basement of the rented room.However, every dream is full of dedication, dreaming is done heartily, and after waking up, it is harder than running a marathon.

Of course, I've never run a marathon.

Ever since I met Li Zhurong last fall, I have gradually gotten used to waking up in strange places.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful ceiling. I don’t know anything about decoration. I don’t talk about it at home. I live in a student dormitory when I’m studying, and I live in a teacher’s dormitory after work. I haven’t decorated a house before. I don’t know the price. That delicate style will be a little more expensive.

However, this ceiling is much more beautiful than Xiaoyao's.

I still remember that I liked European classical culture for a while, and I was shocked when I saw Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling painting by chance.

The ceiling of an ordinary family can be suspended at most, and there are some carvings around it, but the ceiling of this room is like a dome of the sky.The dome is a painting about religion, similar to the tone of the Impressionists. Yellow water lilies float in the water, and water plants similar to water chestnuts float in the water. The transition from rushes and some unknown pale white flowers to soft On the grass, on the grass, beautiful elves chased each other, and many elves surrounded a beautiful boy sitting by the water.In the woods by the water, a goddess hides behind the leaves and peeps at all this.

I looked at it for a while, and I was sure that this painting was the beautiful boy who turned into a daffodil in ancient Greek mythology.

It's not at all a style that "he" would like.

The room was too beautiful to live in. The European-style four-poster bed was ivory white. There was a game of chess on the head of the bed. In the middle of the game, the chess player was probably called out suddenly.

I sat on the bed, probably a little dizzy from sleeping too long.There is a glass of water next to it, but I don't know if it has been drunk.

"Are you awake?" Another voice suddenly sounded in the room, which startled me.

Meng Su stood at the door with his hands still on the door. He was wearing a blue denim shirt with a gray T-shirt inside. I had never seen him dressed so casually. My eyes lit up.

"What day is May today?" I reached for the glass of water: "Have you ever drank this water?"

As if nothing had happened to me, he was even more composed, poured a glass of water from the freezer next to the wall, and handed it to me: "Today is May [-]th, you slept for two days and one night."

When I heard this date, my first reaction was: the May Day holiday is almost over.

However, in this place, May Day does not seem to have a long holiday.

Get dressed and go to dinner with Meng Su. There is a long corridor outside the room. You can directly see the large living room on the first floor. The servants in white clothes and black trousers come and go in a hurry. Meng Su leads me to the bright end of the corridor. Walking, there is a very beautiful terrace. As soon as you step on the terrace, the salty sea breeze blows in your face without any difficulty.

I was shocked by the seascape in front of me like a 007 movie.

Meng Su pulled out the chair for me with ease, and sat down opposite me. The servant brought the food quickly, and I reached out to uncover it. : "I asked someone to cook this according to your last meal."

Under the lid is authentic Cantonese-style claypot rice, with sausage and cured duck spread on the crystal-clear rice, with a tangy aroma.Meng Su frowned, and whispered something in English to the servant who brought up the meal. The servant lowered his head and wanted to bring the meal down, but I quickly stopped him: "Don't, just eat this."

Meng Su's face was very ugly, he took a spoon, stirred the rice for a while, and began to drink ice water out of boredom.

After eating half a bowl of rice, I felt better in my stomach, and began to care about the situation around me.

The front is the beach, the left is the beach, the right is the beach, and the back is a luxurious villa with fairy tales painted on the ceiling...

"Is this your home?" I asked Meng Su.

Meng Su nodded.

"What is your house for?"

"Smuggling." He finished shortly, staring at me for my reaction.

I stared at him in astonishment.

"I lied to you." He smiled happily: "My family doesn't do illegal things."

"Oh, all right."

"My grandfather sold arms."

I choked on my meal.

As professors of law, we have a collective name for this kind of plausible guy: legal illiteracy.

Compared with the explosive news of "Meng Su's family sells arms", the news of "I am now in the United States" has less impact.

I heard from Li Zhurong before that there are several powerful Chinese families in the United States, but they just ignore it and let it go.But when I personally witnessed this "powerful" ostentation, I was completely shocked.

It's one thing to be rich, one thing to have a large villa, one thing to sell arms, but... hearing that such a gangster family is of Chinese descent, what is the inexplicable sense of national pride in my heart?

The family that sells arms has a physicist who is engaged in quantum physics, which is already considered a miracle.

However, when we were talking on the terrace, a 25-year-old woman came up to say hello to Meng Su. Meng Su introduced that it was his cousin named Alice, and she painted the painting on the ceiling in my room.

According to Meng Su, although most of the people in their family have inherited his grandfather's glorious tradition, they sold arms as one.But the occupations of young people in their families are still very diverse.Like his father, he studies military weapons, he does physics, his cousin paints, and his cousin's twins do music, all of which are good choices.

I chatted with him for half an hour, paved the way patiently for a long time, and finally brought the topic to the main topic.

I asked him: "You didn't go back to work last month, so you went home?"

"Well, I'm suspended." He told me calmly.

"What!" I was taken aback by him: "What are you kidding?"

He just laughed and didn't answer me.Obviously no joke.

"Then what about your project? Next year Wang Zhi will be transferred to the top, and you will be the leader of Team A..." Even if your grandfather sells arms, you have to be promoted.

"The subject is given to Qi Jing." He said calmly: "I didn't stay in the institute for long, I went there just to learn something."

Why does it sound like a spy?

Seeing that the topic was taken away by him, I hurriedly set things right: "By the way, you haven't said why you brought me here. It's definitely not to follow you to do research."

I didn't mean to ask this question, but I was thinking about it from the first second I woke up in this strange place.

I made many assumptions.

It's better, he is looking for me for "work".But this is unlikely, no one invites colleagues by kidnapping.

It was almost because he deliberately took me away in order to avenge Li Zhurong's conflict with him last time.

The worst thing is that he is not my friend at all. From the very beginning, there has been some kind of conspiracy, lurking all the time waiting for the opportunity, and then hit it with one hit.This kind of indiscriminate disaster is exactly the same as Chen Ke's back then.

In fact, no matter which one, I would not ask him.

If you ask, you may not get the truth, it is better to observe by yourself.This is always the way adults get along with each other. They don't trust each other, and they don't want to listen to each other directly, but like to guess secretly.

If my assumptions hadn't been overturned one by one, I wouldn't have asked him.

Meng Su took a sip of water.

"You're imprisoned, aren't you?"

I looked at him in surprise.

"That high-ranking son is called Li Zhurong. I checked him, and he is not a good person. He is bisexual, and his son was born with a female star in the United States. Last month, my father's people were monitoring him for me. I'm sure he imprisoned you. It happened that he returned to the United States this time, so he brought you here. You can find a good job here, and I will make proper arrangements for your parents. And your fiancee..."

Meng Su sat across from me, with the Pacific Ocean behind him. I watched his beautifully shaped thin lips open and close, telling me about my situation.

It turned out that it had been so long.

After a long time, I had forgotten that I was "imprisoned".

For so many days, I have been trying my best to reach an agreement that satisfies both myself and Li Zhurong. I sat on the edge of the roof and threatened, Lin Youxi and I worked hard to calculate, and I tried my best to appease Li Zhurong. I am so cowardly and considerate...

All of this is because I have no other choice.

I can't escape.

I escaped once, was dug out from the abandoned air-raid shelter in C City, and lived in the hospital for three months. Two or three ribs were broken, and my cough still echoes.

I know too well how Li Zhurong is covering the sky with one hand, I have no right to say no, I can't die, even if I die, leaving my parents and friends behind, what is it?So it doesn't matter if I'm cowardly or practiced, whether I'm a law professor or Xu Xu from Group A, I don't have the right to say "no".

But now, this man named Meng Su told me lightly: You are in the United States now, you have escaped, and your parents and friends will not be implicated...

Sure enough, the sea breeze was still too strong, and there was sand in the wind.

Meng Su opened his arms and gave me a hug like the gentlest and kindest friend.

"Don't worry, it's over."
