reverse trapping

After resting for another night, Cheng Mu finally started to work normally.

As the meal was approaching, he was about to ask Fang Shuo what to do with today's lunch, but Shen Jinzhi unexpectedly appeared in the studio.

Shen Jinzhi also said in the morning that there was a meeting at noon, and he didn't know the specific end time, so he asked him to eat first, but now he came to pick him up suddenly and said that he wanted to go out for dinner.

Before asking what was going on, Cheng Mu got into the car.

After driving out for a while, Cheng Mu realized that it was a friend of Shen Jinzhi who came back from abroad, and he suddenly wanted to have dinner with them.

The restaurant Shen Jinzhi chose was not too close to the school, and it took them a while to arrive.

Friends have been waiting for a long time.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Jinzhi received a call and gestured to leave for a while.

They were the only ones left at the dinner table, and Shen Jinzhi's friend started talking to him.

Cheng Mu responded politely, but while chatting, he realized something was wrong.

This friend of Shen Jinzhi seems to be paying special attention to his physical and mental condition.

But Shen Jinzhi had always done things properly, but this time he allowed himself to stay with the friend he met for the first time for such a long time.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mu seemed to figure it out.

Cheng Mu put down the chopsticks in his hand, put them aside squarely, and asked tentatively, "Are you a doctor?"

The voice of the other party's eloquent conversation suddenly stopped, and he didn't answer his words.

The silence lasted for a few minutes, and the other party nodded in acknowledgment.

"Although this is our first meeting, Xiao Shen asked someone to contact me a long time ago, and I know a lot about you. I always hoped that he would bring you to the consultation, but he worried that you would resist, so he It has never been implemented.

"I went abroad some time ago and learned that your situation has changed. I was thinking of finding a chance to meet you in a few days, but I didn't want to come back yesterday. He came to me today."

Cheng Mu bowed and said, "I'm really sorry for delaying your rest."

The doctor shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just because Xiao Shen is so worried, can we have a good chat?"

Cheng Mu nodded cooperatively: "Of course, I also hope that I can get better soon."

An hour later, Cheng Mu left the hotel.

He walked briskly to find where Shen Jinzhi parked, and knocked on the window.

Shen Jinzhi raised his eyes and lowered the window.

"Stay here all the time?" Cheng Mu asked.

Shen Jinzhi didn't answer his question directly, but gave him an apologetic look: "Today I just wanted you to have a simple chat, so I didn't tell you the truth."

Cheng Mu walked around the front of the car, opened the door and got into the co-pilot.

"I understand." He grabbed Shen Jinzhi's hand, "Wait for me, I will let go of everything."

Shen Jinzhi hugged Cheng Muze instead, lovingly stroking his back: "Don't force it, it doesn't matter if you can't let it go, I'll support it with you."

In the afternoon, the sun came in from the car window, but it was not as warm as Shen Jinzhi's hug.

He will follow Shen Jinzhi's advice and try his best to let go of the past, but he will not be trapped by such expectations and restrain himself.

This "lunch" was a bit long, and the two finally drove back.

Cheng Mu opened a window, waiting for the influx of fresh air.

"Axia, I will be traveling frequently in the future, so I won't be by your side all the time."

Cheng Muze looked away from the street immediately, and fixed on Shen Jinzhi in a daze: "Ah? What about your class?"

Shen Jinzhi replied: "The school will arrange for other teachers to take over temporarily, so there will be no delay."

Cheng Mu said "oh", with a bit of disappointment hidden in his tone.

After a while, he asked again: "Frequent business trips mean that you will come back often, right?"

"Yes." Shen Jinzhi responded briefly.

Hearing that Shen Jinzhi came back frequently, Cheng Mu was obviously a little happier: "Then where are you going?"

Shen Jinzhi stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of the red light.

He turned his body slightly to look at Cheng Muze: "So reluctant to part with me?"

Cheng Mu glanced at Shen Jinzhi who was staring at him from the rearview mirror of the car, and nodded slightly.

Shen Jinzhi then made a suggestion: "Otherwise...you will go with me?"

Cheng Mu's eyes lit up, and he secretly suppressed that little thought.

It's okay to go out with him once in a while, but if others know that Shen Jinzhi brings his family with him wherever he goes on business trips, they might say something nasty.

Besides, it's a good thing for Shen Jinzhi to leave Jinsong temporarily, as it just allows him to deal with family affairs.

Cheng Mu raised the corner of his mouth easily: "You can go on a business trip with peace of mind, and if you can come back, tell me in advance, okay?"

"Miss me?"

"I think so, but Xiao Biesheng—" Cheng Mu realized what he said quickly, and quickly changed the subject, "I can't always go on business trips with you, I have to get used to it."

However, Shen Jinzhi refused to let go of his slip of the tongue, and repeated emphatically: "A Xia, Xiao Biesheng... what?"

Cheng Mu staggered his eyes, dodging and refusing to answer his words.

The light of the red light changed, the engine roared, and the vehicle moved forward again.

Shen Jinzhi chuckled and did not continue.

"I'm almost going to the airport after sending you back. I'll leave you the doctor's contact information. You can talk to him if you're bored."

Cheng Mu only heard the first half of the sentence: "Huh? So fast?"

He licked his lips embarrassingly: "Then stop in front of you, let's change seats, and I will drive you to the airport."

Shen Jinzhi shook his head: "I'll take you back, and then go by myself."

"But I want to stay with you a little longer."

Shen Jinzhi sighed lowly: "I want to too, but if you come to see me off, I will probably cancel the flight and leave with you."

Faced with this reason, Cheng Mu really had no way to refuse Shen Jinzhi's proposal.

The vehicle stops at the door of the studio.

The engine was still working tirelessly, making a low hum.

Cheng Mu unbuckled his seat belt, approached Shen Jinzhi non-stop, and kissed him on the cheek: "See you in a few days."

It's just that before his body could withdraw, Shen Jinzhi directly dragged him back, pressing down the scent of woods together with the warm kiss.

Cheng Mu was caught off guard, and clasped his fingers on the back of the chair. His heartbeat gradually accelerated with the force of the kiss, echoing the music playing on the street.

After a while, the force covering the back of his head gradually relaxed, and the softness on his lips also moved away slightly.

As they looked at each other very closely, their breaths intertwined quietly.

Shen Jinzhi caressed the corners of Cheng Muze's lips, stroking left and right: "Ah Xia, see you later."

Beichi City Public Security Bureau.

Officer Fang had just put down a phone call when a tall man appeared in front of him.

Shen Jinzhi walked over step by step, and he didn't need to get too close to make people feel obvious hostility.

He stood in front of Police Officer Fang without a single word of greeting, and straight to the point he asked what he wanted to ask: "Officer Fang, I understand that the police can't casually disclose the progress of the case, but I'm thinking about the point I helped last time." Come on, I want to ask you a question."

Officer Fang put his hands in his pockets defensively, and breathed out: "Tell me first, and I'll see if I can answer you."

Shen Jinzhi: "Is the incident related to Cheng Muze that that person confessed back then, is there only a confession without any evidence?"

Officer Fang didn't speak, but his eyes flickered.

Capturing the momentary change, Shen Jinzhi nodded bluntly and said, "Thank you, I see."

With resolute footsteps leaving, Police Officer Fang called to Shen Jinzhi: "Professor Shen."

Shen Jinzhi stopped in his tracks, but didn't look back.

"I didn't have time to say it last time, but I still want to say something more. You can do things to change the result, but I hope this matter will not change your 'result'."

An ambiguous hint was enough for Shen Jinzhi to understand the deep meaning.

"Thanks for the reminder." He replied lightly and left the police station.

It had been more than six hours since Shen Jinzhi left, and Cheng Mu had no news of Shen Jinzhi except for the news that Shen Jinzhi had left the plane.

He didn't want to put pressure on Shen Jinzhi's bondage with his thoughts, so he had to do something to divert his attention.

He called his grandmother.

Because of this, Cheng Mu learned the reason for the recent calm——Chengye Company's business has turned around.

Cheng Mu couldn't guarantee how long this peace would last, he had to prepare for the worst.

He took out the camera and tripod from the house, fixed it and started the video mode.

"My name is Cheng Muze, I graduated from Jinsong University..."

Cheng Mu talked for a long time before finally recording a satisfactory version.

Looking at the camera in his hand, the sadness quickly returned.

He called up the photo album and swipe through the photos inside.

The phone vibrated suddenly.

Cheng Mu glanced at it casually, but unexpectedly discovered that it was Shen Jinzhi's video call request.

He hung the camera around his neck and picked up the video.

Shen Jinzhi looks like he just took a shower, even his hair is wet.

He didn't know if Shen Jinzhi had some superpowers that he didn't know about. Before he could speak, Shen Jinzhi saw through his emotions: "Not happy?"

Cheng Mu didn't want Shen Jinzhi to worry, so he shook his head repeatedly.

"Ding-dong-"

There was a crisp doorbell from the video.

Cheng Mu checked the time before returning to the video interface and asking, "It's so late, do you have any guests?"

Shen Jinzhi nodded without changing his face: "Well, my name is, the hotel is a small card service, do you know?"

"?" Cheng Mu immediately sat up straight, "Are you kidding me?"

"What do you think?" Shen Jinzhi smiled slightly, and drew a card in front of the camera.

In the past few years, Cheng Mu has traveled all over the world, so he naturally knows what the little cards are stuffed into the cracks of the hotel door.

He shook his phone in shock: "Shen Jinzhi!"

Shen Jinzhi in front of the camera has already left and walked into the blind spot where he can't see.

One minute later, Shen Jinzhi returned to the camera with an extra takeaway in hand.

Shen Jinzhi picked up the card just now again and fixed it in front of the camera.

It was only then that Cheng Mu realized that it was a takeaway card from a restaurant.

He suddenly lost his temper, and said awkwardly: "You are talking about this service..."

Shen Jinzhi deliberately raised his eyebrows at the camera: "What do you think?"

Cheng Mu lowered his head in embarrassment, and muttered to himself: "You said that on purpose and asked me, besides teasing me every day, you still tease—"

"A Xia." Shen Jinzhi stopped him, interrupting his aggrieved chatter.

"I miss you." Shen Jinzhi hooked him through the camera, "Come closer, let me kiss."
