"You're here."

As soon as Ye Jue walked into the tavern, he saw Duan Sheng nodding towards him in a corner by the window.

The image of the other party was very different from the teaching assistant I saw in the institution building at that time, with a dense row of ear studs, a neat cropped cut and an undisguised ruffian.

It is exactly the same as the doctoral student named Li Zhi in Professor Sun's computer.

Ye Jue sat across from him with a blank expression, raised his hand slightly, stopped the waiter next to him from bringing him the wine list, and asked in a calm tone, "Where's Bai Ming?"

Seeing him being so straightforward, Duan Sheng probably felt a little disappointed, so he curled his lips: "Won't you take it step by step?"

The two of the few conversations between the two were in this mode, straight to the point and crisp.

Ye Jue is not that interested in going around in circles with him, Bai Ming has been out of contact for nearly half a month, no matter what gray areas or even illegal things he has done before, it is not what Ye Jue needs to care about now.

He just wanted to know what happened to his half family member and where he went now.

Ye Jue always felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when he glimpsed the cooperative relationship between Bai Ming and Shen.

His intuition told him that all the changes of this childhood brother were related to the incident that made the other party have a rift with his father a few years ago.

In fact, Ye Jue understood that he was just a child at the time, even if he knew any inside information, he would probably be powerless, but occasionally he would blame himself for why he didn't choose to communicate more with him after he found out that the other party was in a bad state, but instead let himself deliberately alienate him according to his temper Bai Ming.

After all, although Ye Jue is much more lively than his taciturn father on the surface, he still reproduces many shortcomings through genetics and family education.

For example, being stubborn and doing whatever you want, for example, you will always choose to avoid and ignore things that you cannot fully control.

Fortunately, Ye Jue gradually realized this in the process of learning professional knowledge. Although he still reacted subconsciously, at least he was trying to change the status quo.

Accepting the relationship with Pei Yanqiu that is destined to be out of control is Ye Jue's most risky attempt.

"Let's start with what happened when you two were interns in my father's hospital a few years ago." Ye Jue spoke confidently, but in fact he didn't have the slightest clue.

Father was still reluctant to bring up this matter, and the senior he asked hadn't answered him yet.

Ye Jue can only hope that Duan Sheng can really be tricked by him.

However, the other party's words in the next second completely dispelled his idea: "Okay kid, you don't have to talk to me."

Duan Sheng smiled, and seemed very honest: "I signed a non-disclosure agreement and I can't tell you, Professor Ye might be able to tell you if you work hard."

Ye Jue's heart tightened, it really had something to do with his father.

"But you don't need to be nervous, that incident will not affect anything to Professor Ye, and that's not why I came here." Duan Sheng tapped the whiskey glass on the table with his fingertips, talking to himself Generally speaking, "You have to go home as soon as possible."

Ye Jue didn't understand what he meant, so he could only follow along and ask, "Why?"

Duan Sheng frowned, remained silent for a while, and finally opened his mouth as if he had finally cleared his mind: "It's more complicated, I can only tell you that the ultimate goal of many things Bai Ming has done over the years is Taking revenge on Professor Ye for that incident."

"The high school student who accidentally dragged you in is called Shen Lian, right?" Duan Cheng shook his head at Ye Jue, and continued, "Bai Ming was afraid that you would help him because of soft-heartedness , Sure enough, Murphy's Law does not deceive me."

Duan Sheng smiled jokingly: "He said that you are like a very unqualified holy father. Like your father, you turn a blind eye to the struggles of those around you and never care, but you can always empathize with strangers. Cheap conscientiousness goes like a fool to 'do whatever it takes'."

"The reason why you came to me is to give me lessons?" Ye Jue's tone at this time was already very bad. Although he knew that Duan Sheng was right, but being so straightforwardly treated even him would occasionally have a distasteful personality. If the flaws are pointed out, no matter who they are, they will feel offended.

"Ah, of course not. I just heard about you from him often, and I finally had the opportunity to chat face to face, so I just used this topic to get close to you." Duan Sheng shook his glass, speaking It sounds nice, but there is no intention to hide the maliciousness in the words.

Ye Jue naturally also caught the special emotion of the other party, and quickly connected with what Duan Cheng said just now, and had a vague guess in his heart.

Something bad happened to Duan Sheng and Bai Ming during their internship, which forced them to change majors and change their life direction. The culprit or the fuse of this incident must be related to their father. Let the other person hate the traits.

Maybe it has something to do with Shen Lian's family...

Ye Jue sensitively discerned some clues from the other party's words.

"What does Bai Ming want to do?" Ye Jue brought back the off topic.

Although he didn't believe that Bai Ming would hurt his father, after all these years of getting along, if the two really had any deep hatred, Bai Ming would have countless opportunities to retaliate, and his father would not just alienate each other.

But there is always nothing wrong with asking.

"I don't know, I only know that he has a habit of doing projects, which is to save the most important conditions until the end of the road and then add the proof." Duan Sheng drank the wine in his glass and said with a smile: "He has already broken other obstacles. It succeeded, only the last one is missing."

"Believe it or not, I'm just reminding you casually." After speaking, Duan Sheng gently put the empty cup on the table, got up and was about to leave.

But Ye Jue stopped him: "On the day the course ended, you were the one who gave that student the medicine that would cause a severe allergic reaction."

Duan Sheng obviously didn't expect that Ye Jue would not care about his father's safety, but would still have the leisure and elegance to try to get justice for a stranger who he probably hadn't even met face to face.

Probably this kind of behavior reminded him of something, and it also proved that Bai Ming's judgment on the two fathers and sons of the Ye family was really very appropriate. Duan Sheng couldn't help but sneered a little bit contemptuously, and said sarcastically, "You have no evidence."

Ye Jue nodded, and said in a flat tone: "Senior Brother Li, since you hate me and my father, why did you come here to remind me? Why don't you continue to help others or be a bystander and watch us suffer the consequences and fall into pain? Is it more in line with the life values ​​of you and my brother?"

Duan Cheng frowned, obviously upset by Ye Jue's sudden counterattack, but before he could say anything sarcastic, Ye Jue bent his eyes and continued with a smile, "Because you're guilty."

"An adult's insistence on some concepts will not change suddenly, unless he has experienced some changes, um...serious enough to make him reflect on what he has done, and will be afraid of the causal cycle. The level of a person." Ye Jue's smile became brighter and brighter, it was the joy of smoothing out the thoughts after connecting the information, and it was also the deliberate revenge for being poked in the lungs just now for no reason.

"Professor Li's lover is seriously ill." Ye Jue said his guess flatly.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Duan Sheng, who was poked at the center of things, stepped forward angrily, and grabbed Ye Jue's collar tightly: "Try to say something in this tone again."

Ye Jue didn't take the other party's threat seriously, it was in a public place, and the guests at the tables around him had already noticed Duan Sheng's side when he got up, and besides, they were about the same size, if they really got into a fight, they would say No one is allowed to suffer.

"Thank you for your reminder. I will book a flight home tomorrow." Ye Jue calmly patted the back of Duan Sheng's hand, signaling the other party not to make the scene worse, and then took advantage of his sudden thank you to smile slightly. In a daze, he broke free from the shackles.

Ye Jue moved his neck from side to side a few times, the expression on his face had changed from the previous serious and gloomy look to the usual gentle and relaxed look, he took out some cash from his pocket and put them on the table, signaling to stare at the two people not far away. The waiter who wanted to come over to pick it up, then stood up and looked at Duan Sheng.

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he tried his best to suppress his unspeakably calm emotions at this moment, and said slowly: "No matter what harm my father caused you back then, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Duan Sheng snorted coldly, and had no intention of accepting it.

But obviously, Ye Jue didn't care about his reaction, and was just ready to finish what he wanted to say: "You can accept it or not, after all, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"As for what you mentioned, my father's and I's character flaws, I don't deny it, and I can even say that I agree with it." Ye Jue hooked the corners of his lips, he didn't know what he thought of, he took a deep breath, Then he continued: "This is not a good thing, but it will definitely not be the real reason why you and Bai Ming lost their career bottom line."

Ye Jue slightly tilted his head, and concluded thoughtfully: "You all just need an excuse to rationalize your mistakes."

"My shortcomings, I will find a way to correct them myself, and I will find out the truth of the matter, but having other difficulties is not a reason for you to hurt others unscrupulously."

"The case of LP's spiritual pyramid scheme has not yet been concluded. The family of the child who almost died of allergies has been putting pressure on the police to obtain a result."

"I don't know if Bai Ming has arranged for you to retreat in this matter. In short, the police will contact you to inquire about the situation in the past few days. I hope you can answer truthfully and take the responsibility you should bear."

After speaking, Ye Jue patted Duan Sheng on the shoulder and walked towards the door.

But after walking a few steps, he seemed to be thinking of something, turned around and smiled at Duan Cheng who was still standing there, and said softly, "I wish your uncle a speedy recovery."

Outside the tavern is the city's famous supper street, stepping through that door is a completely different world.

Countless laughter mixed with the smell of food and alcohol instantly enveloped Ye Jue, coaxing him to let go of the calmness he had worked so hard for just now.

Ye Jue sighed helplessly, and slowly wandered towards the side of the road.

His head was in a mess, and the overly dense information was entangled in a very vague way, which made him upset, but now he couldn't think of any better way to deal with it except rushing home tomorrow to ask his father for details.

Ye Jue hates this feeling of powerlessness, or in other words, he is extremely afraid of not being able to grasp the future direction of things.

Probably due to the subtle influence of family education, Ye Jue has always subconsciously hated the inevitable uncertainty.

He smiled bitterly, thinking that he should find a reliable therapist to chat with a reliable therapist for a few cycles after the dust settles on this matter.

The night wind was blowing gently, Ye Jue tried to clear his mind to calm his mind, but the effect was minimal.

Suddenly, a mobile phone notification sounded from his pocket.

Ye Jue seemed to have found a life-saving straw, quickly took it out and unlocked the screen.

[Student Xiao Pei: Brother, look up. ]

Ye Jue's heart trembled suddenly, and he looked at the simple five words in the dialog box in disbelief, and then slowly looked forward nervously as if he had a premonition.

Under the dim streetlight at the street corner, the little liar who said he would send him here three hours ago and go home obediently was holding two cups of full milk tea and waving at him with a smile, his bright eyes filled with sincere love.

Oh, and there's still one thing he's absolutely sure of.

Ye Jue thought so in his heart, he also straightened his arms, raised them high and vigorously responded to the new boyfriend in the distance, and ran towards him with a smile.

Children who are now in love don't see or care about their own character flaws.

Ye Jue only knows that Pei Yanqiu must like him now.

Love it so much.
