Recalcitrant

The bedroom door opened, and Chen Zhuo appeared outside the door, half of his body was hidden in the darkness, completely isolated on the edge of the warm light.

Lu Shaoheng didn't expect Chen Zhuo to be at the door. He originally wanted to ask him why he came here, but after thinking about it, this is also Chen Zhuo's home, and there is nothing unusual about him coming back.

"Chen Zhuo." He greeted him first, then pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Why are you here at this time?"

"I waited outside the detention center all night, but I didn't wait for you." Chen Zhuo's eyes lingered on Lu Shaoheng's face for a moment, then walked into the room, and said calmly, "Just come and have a look."

"That's it." Lu Shaoheng nodded clearly, without explaining the reason.

When he came near Lu Shaoheng, Chen Zhuo looked at Ling Xiao as if he had just noticed that there was another person in the room, "Ling Zhu, are you here at this late hour?"

Ling Xiao quickly stood up, with an expression on his face as if facing a formidable enemy.

In his heart, he has always had a deep hostility towards Chen Zhuo, on the one hand because of Lu Shaoheng, and on the other because of Chen Guangyu.

If it wasn't for Chen Guangyu, his mother might not have entered Juxing, let alone fall into that purgatory.What's more, when Ling Leyao was hovering on the verge of death, Chen Guangyu, the person who pushed her into the fire pit, chose to stand on the sidelines and did not give her a hand.

During the period when his thoughts were the most extreme, he even wanted Chen Guangyu to experience the feeling of losing a loved one.

It's just that Lu Shaoheng cut off his idea before he could put it into practice.

"You just said that Ling Zhu also wants to make movies?" Chen Yao didn't notice Ling Xiao's mental activities, or he didn't care at all. He turned to Ling Xiao and said, "Since you want to learn to be Director, why bother to look far away, isn't there a ready-made candidate in front of you?"

Like an enthusiastic senior, Chen Zhuo put forward a suggestion with a pleasant face: "I remember that you are also from the director department. You must have learned almost the theoretical knowledge, but now you just lack the opportunity to practice it."

Ever since he entered the door, Chen Zhuo had always been kind and calm, but from the low pressure that enveloped him, it could be felt that he was not a good person tonight.

Ling Xiao didn't know how to deal with Chen Zhuo, and looked at Lu Shaoheng begging for help, and found that Lu Shaoheng was staring at Chen Zhuo.

The air froze for a while, before Lu Shaoheng said, "I won't bother you about Assistant Ling."

Chen Zhuo turned a deaf ear to Lu Shaoheng's words, and always focused his attention on Ling Xiao: "So why don't you just follow me in the future? Anyway, Boss Lu doesn't need anyone anymore." He took a step forward, reached out and pinched Ling Xiao's chest Chin, squinting his eyes and looking at the person in front of him a few times, as if picking a racehorse at a racecourse, he said in a frivolous tone: "Stay with me well, no matter what you want to do in the future, I can satisfy you, how about it?"

"Chen Zhuo, let him go." Chen Zhuo's words angered Lu Shaoheng, his voice was cold and harsh, and frost formed on his face in an instant.

"I never knew that Boss Lu has always had the hobby of making people a director and fulfilling their dreams." Chen Zhuo looked sideways at Lu Shaoheng, his fingertips still pinching Ling Xiao's chin, even ambiguously touching his cheek. I rubbed it twice: "Why, there are so many people around Mr. Lu, but Assistant Ling is the only one who can't be touched. If I knew you liked him so much and wanted to go with him, I would..."

"How about you?" Lu Shaoheng interrupted Chen Zhuo's words in a cold voice, his expression was cold, and the thorns all over his body were aroused by Chen Zhuo, "Don't forget, Ling Xiao is still mine now."

He discovered very early on that Chen Zhuo paid too much attention to Ling Xiao, and this special attention made Lu Shaoheng feel like a stick in his throat.

"It's not that bad. I also like assistants like Ling." Chen Yao's smile remained the same, with a calm and composure that didn't care about anything. This was Lu Shaoheng's favorite look.

He politely discussed with Lu Shaoheng: "Why don't Mr. Lu bear the pain and give up the person to me?"

"You insist on Ling Xiao?" Lu Shaoheng didn't want to quarrel with Chen Zhuo today, and tried his best to restrain his temper.

"Yes." Chen Zhuo spoke firmly.

"Why don't you ask Ling Xiao if he is willing?" Lu Shaoheng asked.

Chen Zhuo said: "I believe that as long as you agree, Ling Zhu will not refuse."

Lu Shaoheng looked at Chen Zhuo seriously, as if he was judging whether his words were sincere.Chen Zhuo didn't avoid Lu Shaoheng's gaze, he didn't dodge or hide, and let him see clearly.

This is not the first time they have robbed someone. Usually, if one wants it, the other will give it, and the third person will not have any objections.Anyway, for those who are deeply involved in this deformed relationship, it is all about exchanging benefits, and it doesn't matter who they are with, as long as they can get what they want, there is no need to go to war.

Only Ling Xiao is an exception in Lu Shaoheng's place.

This cognition made Chen Zhuo unbearable.

Looking at Chen Zhuo in front of him, Lu Shaoheng suddenly realized that the time had come.

He knew that there would always be a day when he and Chen Yao parted ways, and he thought that this day could come later, so he specially invited Chen Yao to move home together, and rearranged the house, just to steal another moment and a half. time.

He indulged in this dream for too long, so long that he couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality.He still has his own unfinished business, so he should wake up.

Feelings are the most useless thing for him, poison, burden, and hindrance.Shi Qing has used her miserable life to tell him how sad it is to give herself to love.

The short-term stability brought by the placebo made him cowardly. He began to be afraid of the dark, the pain, the cold, and the loneliness.

Fortunately, it is not too late to quit now.

After breaking through this layer of confusion, Lu Shaoheng suddenly became enlightened. He stretched out his hand and pulled Ling Xiao to his side, and said to him: "It's too late today, you should get off work first."

"Boss Lu." Ling Xiao looked at Lu Shaoheng anxiously, he was worried about the current situation.

Lu Shaoheng waved his hand and said, "Go."

He didn't dare not listen to Lu Shaoheng's words, Ling Xiao glanced at Chen Zhuo again, then picked up his coat and left.

Until Ling Xiao walked out of the gate, Chen Zhuo, who had always said that Ling Xiao must be there from the very beginning, did not stop him, but just stood aside and watched coldly.

After Ling Xiao left, only he and Lu Shaoheng were left in the empty room.Chen Zhuo looked around at the brand-new home, and said softly to Lu Shaoheng, "You clearly promised me."

Chen Zhuo's endless words made Lu Shaoheng's heart suddenly sore.It was he who invited Chen Yao to move back home with him, and it was he who promised Chen Yao that he would never sleep in someone else's bed.

"What did I promise you?" Lu Shaoheng no longer looked at Chen Zhuo, and lowered his head to play with a candle ornament on the low table: "No matter what I said, how can I take it seriously when I am having fun on the bed?"

In just a few words, he has repaired the crack on the armor.Lu Shaoheng stood up, walked slowly to Chen Zhuo, with an ambiguous and wet smile on his face: "I am here, you can do whatever you want, but you can't touch Ling Xiao."

"Okay." Chen Zhuo laughed and said repeatedly: "Very good."

All the emotions accumulated over the past month exploded at this moment.He stripped off Lu Shaoheng just put on the bathrobe, tied his hands roughly, and pushed him onto the bed, followed closely by himself, bullying him onto it.

With a sound of "crash", the bedside lamp was knocked down, and the expensive crystal lampshade shattered to the ground, reflecting colorful light spots on the ceiling.

"How do you plan to replace Assistant Ling?" The light in the room suddenly dimmed, Chen Zhuo leaned forward and approached Lu Shaoheng, his eyes were like a pair of provocative big hands, rubbing and moving on his snow-white chest.

The only bathrobe on Lu Shaoheng's body was stripped to the elbow. He opened his front, looked up at the colorful light cluster on the ceiling, and said indifferently: "As you like."

Chen Zhuo smiled inexplicably, and turned on his mobile phone. The next second, Lu Shaoheng heard his own voice coming from the mobile phone.

"... You and Chen Yao have been together for so many years, don't you have any feelings for him, and you don't care about his feelings..."

This was a conversation between him and An Ran a long time ago. At that time, not long after he became the acting president of Juxing, An Ran came to see him in the company.

The smile on Lu Shaoheng's face faltered.

"...Why do I have feelings for him, I have seen the end of my mother, do you think I will step in..."

There is such a recording in An Ran's USB flash drive, and the conversation in the recording is still going on. Chen Yan looked at the handsome and flamboyant face in front of him, his eyes were as tender as water: "You planned the money laundering incident of Juxing."

This is not an interrogative sentence, but a declarative sentence, which Chen Zhuo already knew.

"Yes." Lu Shaoheng sighed and generously admitted.

"You use me to gain the control of Juxing step by step, first act as an agent for Lu Heping, and then officially serve as the president." Chen Yao continued, with a cold tone as if talking about other people's affairs: "Wait until you really enter After getting the core of the company, he began to use his position to collect criminal evidence of the company's top executives, in order to catch them all and send them all to prison."

"You never wanted to get Juxing." Chen Zhuo approached Lu Shaoheng: "You just want to destroy it and the people behind it."

"You're right, that's how it is." These things were obviously done by him, and it was his planning day after day, step by step, that resulted in today's result.

But the retelling from Chen Zhuo's mouth made Lu Shaoheng feel inexplicably excited, and even his fingertips began to tremble slightly.

Probably because all these years, he was always planning these things alone, and for the first time he was able to openly and openly share the joy of victory with others.

Sensing his trembling, Chen Zhuo's warm palms pressed against Lu Shaoheng's skin, crushed his chest, and meandered all the way to his waist.

Before touching the core key, he made a circle and barely stopped.

Under his light touch, Lu Shaoheng trembled even more, and even the light in his eyes became strange, and his eyes were full of longing.

"These words in the recording were said by you yourself." Chen Zhuo looked at Lu Shaoheng and asked softly, "From the day you found me, the whole plan started."

This is a gentle torture to extract a confession.

"...What do you want to say to him, just go, I am also looking forward to his reaction, to see if he will do what you want..."

Before the recording was finished playing, An Ran's voice was transformed into an electrical signal through the pickup, which became extremely sharp.The two people present knew which direction the conversation would go next, because before coming here, Chen Yao had already reviewed the recording countless times.

Lu Shaoheng was forced to look at Chen Zhuo. The moment his eyes met, he had a strange idea. He felt that if he denied all this at this moment, Chen Yao would definitely believe it.

"I said it myself." But Lu Shaoheng didn't, he looked straight into Chen Zhuo's eyes without any evasion.

"But do you know what is the saddest thing?" Chen Yao looked back at Lu Shaoheng and smiled: "The saddest thing is that I already knew what you wanted to do, and I am willing to be used by you. One step to help you get what you want."

He bent down and buried his face in Lu Shaoheng's shoulder, as if embracing the most tender lover: "I thought that if your wish was granted, you would no longer be in prison, come out completely, and start a new life. Don't go one way to black."

"All the way to the dark?" Lu Shaoheng's eyes cooled down completely like a cold wave, and the lust in his eyes disappeared, "Chen Zhuo, you are trying to persuade others to be magnanimous."

Chen Zhuo's words split open Lu Shaoheng's colorful exterior, revealing his sharp undertones.

"I don't advise you to forgive anyone." Chen Yao said, "I just hope you can let yourself go and stop being stuck in the past."

"You are still so lofty." Lu Shaoheng turned his head and looked at the night sky outside the window. The night was like the lingering black water in his dream, infecting the last bit of warmth in his eyes: "You haven't experienced everything about me, not even Knowing what happened, why would you say that?"

"Yes, I was wrong." Chen Zhuo did not deny all of this, he knew that he had lost: "It was my wishful thinking and self-righteousness."

Chen Zhuo could no longer hide his exhaustion. During the month of Lu Shaoheng's detention, even though he knew that all of this was within that person's plan, he still put down all his work and ran around. He never had a good night's sleep. , I'm afraid that he suffered some hardships in it, suffered some grievances, or some mistakes in the plan, and he was implicated.

Finally, when Lu Shaoheng was acquitted and no one informed him of the news, he huddled with the media and waited outside the gate of the detention center all night.

After listening to An Ran's recording in the car, Chen Yao's heart was actually very calm, neither sad nor angry.He was not surprised that Lu Shaoheng would say this to An Ran, he was always a person who refused to show weakness.

He wanted to hear Lu Shaoheng tell the story again, as long as he explained it, he would believe it.

Before coming here, Chen Zhuo ran all the places he could think of that were related to Lu Shaoheng, but all returned in vain.After finally finding Lu Shaoheng in their common home, he heard him say that he would take Ling Xiao away to fly high.

In an instant, everything he had ignored all these years was pouring over him, and he couldn't bring himself to hold on any longer.

"Since your goal has been achieved, I have no use value, so I should go." Chen Yao backed away from Lu Shaoheng, and did not really do anything to him. He stood by the bed and said to Lu Shaoheng: "That's it Well, let's stop here, you can keep Assistant Ling, I hope that with him by his company, you can really be happy."

Lu Shaoheng was extremely calm at this time. He had known that he and Chen Yao would have such a day, and had prepared in advance.Even so, he could still hear his heart cracking into pieces all over the place.

Strange, heartbreak should be silent.

"Lu Shaoheng."

Before leaving the door, Chen Zhuo suddenly turned around and called his name.

Lu Shaoheng had already sat up from the bed, his back was still facing him, like a stone statue standing in the dark for many years.

Chen Yao took one last look at his back, pushed open the door, and walked out without looking back.

For a moment, he really wanted to tell Lu Shaoheng that I really like you after being together for so many years.
