reverse trapping

Cheng Mu was instantly dumbfounded.

The corner of the hospital corridor was unusually quiet, infinitely magnifying his restless heartbeat.

"Huh? Talk."

Shen Jinzhi's voice was soft, like the wind blowing through the willow catkins in the afternoon, trying to wake up the sleepy willow branches.

Cheng Mu squeezed the phone tightly and swallowed with difficulty.

In any case, at least Professor Shen couldn't be delayed from get off work.

Cheng Mu asked, "Then, what time do you get off work?"

The other end of the phone chuckled and replied: "Five o'clock, I will wait for you at the main gate of the school."

The screen on the phone screen turned and returned to the main interface of the operation.

Cheng Mu handed the phone to Qin Yi, but the other party flinched back.

He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand again: "What are you hiding from? It's the same as I beat you."

Qin Yi took the phone tremblingly, and took a big step backward: "I feel that your reaction is different from before. I have a hunch that something big will happen."

Cheng Muze's mouth was helplessly pursed into a straight line, and his eyes wandered for a while before he said that sentence.

"I confessed my love to Shen Jinzhi last night."

His speech was extremely fast, and the sounds of the words were connected with each other, and every syllable was full of anxiety.

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Yi froze in place.

Cheng Mu lowered his head remorsefully: "It's all the alcohol's fault! Starting today, I will quit drinking. If I drink again in the future, my name will be written upside down."

Listening to Cheng Muze's rhetoric, Qin Yi mumbled: "Brother Cheng, don't you think this is a bit weird?"

Cheng Mu quite agrees: "Who says it's not? When I hear the recording of myself drunk, it's almost like seeing a ghost."

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "I mean, earlier you were worried that Mr. Shen would like men, but it turned out that you were gay?"

"..."

Cheng Mu licked the tip of his teeth: "I found out, you really don't smoke."

As soon as he walked towards Qin Yi, there was an abnormal noise in the corridor.

Cheng Mu turned to look over, and the source of the noise was actually the door of the ward where Qin Yi's roommate was standing.

A young man was grabbing the collar of one of Qin Yi's roommates, throwing him against the wall.

Cheng Mu ran over anxiously.

In the center of the chaos, a middle-aged doctor patted the back of the boy's hand, motioning him to let go.

The young man gritted his teeth, and angrily increased the strength of his hand, without any intention of retreating.

Cheng Mu led Qin Yi into the crowd and walked towards the boy.

"Student, let go first, and talk slowly if you have something to say."

The young man glanced at Cheng Muze, and the strength in his hand suddenly eased: "Brother Ze?"

Cheng Mu was taken aback, no one had called him that for a long time.

He didn't immediately recognize who the boy was, but he had a general direction, and he said slowly: "This is a hospital, don't trouble the doctor, let go first."

The boy let go, and Qin Yi's roommate finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Being grabbed by the collar for no reason, the roommate was very dissatisfied, and wanted to find someone to reason with.

"All stop."

Cheng Mu raised his voice to reprimand, and the scene finally calmed down.

He walked slowly towards the doctor who was persuading the fight, and bowed apologetically: "I'm sorry doctor, I'll take care of the matter here, and I assure you that such a situation will never happen again."

The doctor nodded.

It was only then that Cheng Mu realized that this doctor was the one who was almost hit by a box on the first floor.

At this time, other doctors ran over quickly and stood behind the middle-aged doctor: "Shen—"

The doctor raised his hand and interrupted the man's voice: "It's okay, no need, continue the rounds."

After speaking, he nodded to Cheng Muze and walked straight into another ward.

He turned around and scanned the restless people behind him: "Everyone go in first."

There were no stools in the ward, and a few people just stood around the bed in a daze.

The boy approached the head of the bed and said to the person lying on the bed: "With me here, they can't bully you."

The person on the bed didn't dare to speak, and continued to huddle under the quilt motionless.

"Hey..." The roommate who was almost beaten took a breath in dissatisfaction, "What are you talking about?"

The young man ignored his words and shifted his gaze to Cheng Muze: "Brother Ze, for your sake, if you ask them to apologize to my friend, I won't pursue it."

It's actually annoying for people to step up.

"Why should we—"

Qin Yi's roommate had only spoken halfway, but Qin Yi bowed sincerely to the person on the hospital bed.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault that caused you to be injured by accident last night. But they were laughing outside because I was drunk and embarrassed. They didn't mean to make fun of you at all. If I offended you, I apologize to you on their behalf."

Qin Yi straightened up and looked at the boy: "I'm really sorry, we didn't mean any harm."

The other three roommates looked at each other, and finally understood why the other party was angry, and apologized one after another.

After hearing their explanation, the originally surly boy immediately softened his temper. He waved his hand: "It's fine, it's fine, it's fine if it wasn't intentional."

After a long while, he licked his lips, glanced at the human being pressed against the wall by him just now, and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you would hurt my friend and laugh at him, so I was impulsive."

The joy and anger of young people are always in an instant, and the previous low pressure suddenly subsides and turns into a peaceful one.

Qin Yi and his roommate approached the hospital bed and joked with the juniors on the bed.

The boy walked towards Cheng Muze and stared at him: "You don't remember me?"

Cheng Mu was silent, unable to recognize him as one of the children in the orphanage back then.

"I'm Xiao Xun, now I'm Shi Xun."

When he was young, Cheng Mu always carried his family behind his back and went to the orphanage as a volunteer. At that time, he met many children, and they all called him "Brother Ze" affectionately.

In my impression, Xiao Xun should be the most withdrawn and timid child.

Can--

Shi Xun lowered his eyebrows and staggered his gaze, sniffed: "Since we met, let's have dinner together tonight, I invite you."

Cheng Mu raised the corner of his mouth, and the word "good" died as soon as it reached his lips.

He looked down at his watch.

I don't know how long it will take to wait for the bus, if it is too late to send Shen Jinzhi's teacher card, it will be a serious crime.

He patted Shi Xun on the shoulder: "I won't be able to do it today. I'll order takeaway for you tonight. I'll go out to do some errands, and I'll come back as soon as I go."

Before leaving, he asked Qin Yi a few words before leaving the hospital.

Passing by the pharmacy in front of the hospital, he hurriedly bought a sterile cotton swab and rushed to the bus station.

On the electronic bus stop sign, the arrival sign of Route 112 finally changed from 8 to 1, and he got on the bus anxiously.

The street scene outside the window receded behind him, shortening the distance between him and Shen Jinzhi spatially.

Cheng Mu really didn't think about how to solve the matter with Shen Jinzhi. After thinking for a long time, he decided to run away after delivering the card.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had done such an inappropriate thing in front of Shen Jinzhi, it was enough to know him twice.

Cheng Mu took out Shen Jinzhi's teaching staff card and held it in his palm, ready to get off the car.

It seemed that a car was occupying the bus lane, and the driver slammed on the brakes.

Cheng Mu was caught off guard and leaned forward. The teacher card in his hand slipped due to excessive force and fell to the floor of the carriage.

He bent over to pick it up.

Looking at the photo on the faculty card, Cheng Mu suddenly couldn't take his eyes off it.

The photo printed on the card should have been a few years ago. Shen Jinzhi didn't wear glasses, and his brows and eyes were much sharper than they are now, showing a vague sense of indifference.

Staring at the photo, Cheng Mu felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen Shen Jinzhi in that period with his own eyes.

"We've arrived at Jinsong University Station, please take your belongings with you when you get off the bus, and be careful."

After a long period of daze, Cheng Muze's stagnant thoughts were awakened by the announcement of the arrival of the bus.

He got out of the car through the crowd and finally didn't stop.

There were people coming and going at the gate of Jinsong University, but Shen Jinzhi was the only one missing.

He was about to make a call when a car stopped in front of him.

Shen Jinzhi slowly lowered the car window and looked at the dazed Cheng Muze.

This face is really different from the one in the photo. How could he feel that he had seen it before?

"What are you thinking? Get in the car."

Cheng Mu was dazed, and walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat without thinking.

"Seat belt." Shen Jinzhi said again.

"Crack-"

The sound of the seat belt buckle suddenly aroused Cheng Muze's thinking logic.

Wait, why don't you run away after the delivery?

He secretly took a breath, and put down the teacher card casually.

"Senior, I'll put the things here for you, and I'll go first."

As he spoke, he moved his hand to the position where the seat belt buckle was connected, but his movement was not as fast as Shen Jinzhi's, and his palm rested on the back of Shen Jinzhi's hand defenselessly.

Cheng Mu stopped suddenly.

Shen Jinzhi half raised his eyelids, and looked at Cheng Muze quietly: "Run as soon as you see me, do I know how to eat people?"

Tiny raindrops floated outside the window, falling down like thin needles, densely laying slender water strips on the car window.

Cheng Mu's Adam's apple rolled, and his heart beat restlessly in his chest.

The long silence devoured his willpower more than the noise, his body seemed to be slowly submerged in sea water, wrapped around him soundlessly.

Finally, Shen Jinzhi withdrew.

The vehicle restarts.

The car drove out for 3 minutes, and it wasn't until Cheng Muze couldn't see the campus completely that he realized: "Senior, don't you clock in?"

Shen Jinzhi smiled faintly: "I seem to have forgotten, I asked for leave today."

Cheng Muze, who was sitting in the co-pilot: "..."

Cheng Mu felt like he was on a pirate ship.

He grabbed the corner of his clothes nervously: "Senior, where are we going?"

"go home."

At the intersection, the red light turns on in due time.

Shen Jinzhi stopped the car, turned his head and said, "If you apply the medicine in the office, the effect will not be very good."

Cheng Mu panicked.

On the one hand, he really wanted to go back to the hospital, and on the other hand, if he really went home with Shen Jinzhi, he couldn't stand the various situations that would happen.

"But I really have something to do. I'm going to the hospital. It's a little accident. My friend is there."

It was clearly true, but Cheng Muze's tone sounded guilty.

Shen Jinzhi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Friend? A man?"

"En." Cheng Mu responded.

Shen Jinzhi took a slight breath: "Which hospital?"

Cheng Mu wanted to say that he could just take a taxi several times, but Shen Jinzhi didn't respond to him again, like an FM broadcast that completely lost the signal.

Shen Jinzhi entered the parking lot of the first courtyard with ease, and drove into the underground garage.

Cheng Mu wanted to open the car door, but found that Shen Jinzhi hadn't unlocked the door.

He pointed to the door lock cautiously, reminding Shen Jinzhi that the car door was still locked.

Shen Jinzhi turned on the built-in headlights.

Warm yellow light suddenly filled the entire carriage, lighting up a bright light in the dark parking lot.

In the silence, Shen Jinzhi unbuttoned his seat belt and began to pull his tie without saying a word.

The silk tie passed smoothly through his fingertips and fell to the side of the car seat.

Then, he slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

The dark golden buttons were separated from the cloth, rubbing against his skin.

The glass window clearly reflects his light and shadow, and every movement is fatally prolonged in the image.

The rainwater accumulated on the car windows embraced each other calmly, and the condensed water droplets trickled down to the window sill and spread along the gap.

Cheng Mu retreated subconsciously, but suddenly found that there was no room behind him.

Shen Jinzhi leaned over to press him, the oppression in his sight was more intense than the night in the parking lot.

He said solemnly: "I'm also injured, don't you plan to give me some medicine first?"
