Chapter 129: Seriously chasing you
Xie Qingcheng This person is also damaged.
The last place he booked was a tea house restaurant with a middle-aged atmosphere.
The restaurant to eat vegetarian, Zen sound, inside the meal are all some look very much like will appear in the eight o'clock Chinese medicine health column group of middle-aged and elderly men and women, at a glance, full of transcendence, even the sex life is not necessary, can directly put the people lads see impotence.
Mr. Xie's calculations are clear, he wants He Yu to realize the huge age gap between them.
Young people like hot pot, western food and Japanese food, can he not know this?
I don't think so. Xie Qingcheng has no intention of letting He Yu have any meat today.
Aren't you going to like Uncle?
Sung, then you can live a middle-aged life with your uncle and feel the generation gap before you do that.
"Hello sir, two? Here's our menu for you to look over. Ring the bell if you need anything."
Xie Qingcheng thanked him and handed the list to He Yu: "Order what you want."
He Yu noticed when he entered that he was probably the youngest customer in the store.
But he didn't care that much, and took the Zen-like menu and read it.
"...... Why are people your age so stuffy?" He Yu looked at it and suddenly laughed at it.
Xie Qingcheng has made him quite speechless.
What kind of smothering can he tell by eating a vegetarian meal?
He Yu seems to have read Xie Qingcheng's mind, pointing to the menu, "Look, spicy veggie lily pads, veggie husband and wife lung slices, and these veggie chicken and veggie roasted goose ......".
Xie Qingcheng faded, "What's wrong with these?"
"Your heart is all about carnal desires, but your mouth is all about vegetarianism." He Yu laughed. He Yu laughed, "You uncles are all too good at pretending to be serious, if you were really pure, why would you need vegetarian couple's lungs? Vegetables and tofu are enough."
Xie Qingcheng thought he was full of shit at first, but when he thought about it, there was actually some truth to it.
He could not refute He Yu for a moment, originally he brought a human child here to let the child see the dullness and boredom of middle age, but unexpectedly was taught by He Yu about desire and not desire, and could not help but be a little annoyed.
"Are you ordering or not?"
"Okay, I'll order." He Yu then ordered a table full of colorful dishes according to the vegetarian menu.
"...... Lotus Pond Moonlight, Sweet and Sour Lotus Roots ......," he reported to the waiter at the end, pursed his lips, raised his eyes, and gazed unblinkingly at Xie Qingcheng , and then said, "Also, vegetarian, spicy husband and wife lung slices."
The name of a dish, to the young man said, hard out of some sexual harassment flavor.
Xie Qingcheng turned his head with a sullen face.
The waiter took the order and retired, and He Yu just folded his arms and kneaded his knuckles, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Gradually, Xie Qingcheng was a bit furious by the way he looked at him and turned back, "What are you doing."
"Brother, this is the first time you've officially invited me to dinner."
"......"
"The style of this restaurant is so like you." He Yu looked at him with deep, focused eyes, "I like it a lot."
Xie Qingcheng thought, "Like him what?
Why are you cursing him?
He Yu of course did not want to scold him, just think really what people choose what store, Xie Qingcheng temperament and this kind of vegetarian restaurant quite like, is really light, and really do not want to eat meat taste fish.
But is he completely without desire? Not really.
He Yu knew that his calm and cool appearance also hid the feelings and desires of the common people, and he missed that kind of man, which he had not seen for a long time.
The dish is vegetarian, but the name is tainted with meat. It's like the relationship between Xie Qingcheng and He Yu - on the surface it's clean, but underneath it's a mess.
The teenager's heart, in particular, was all messed up beyond words.
While waiting for the food, He Yu carefully looked at Xie Qingcheng, pondering over his state at the moment. In the end, he realized that neither his previous confession nor his ambiguity seemed to bother this man much.
He looked like he was relieved, but a faint sense of frustration rose up inside him.
Xie Qingcheng really wasn't stuck because of him, which meant that he could continue to pursue the other party in this way and it wouldn't cause Xie Qingcheng any pain, as he had previously feared.
But that also means that maybe he's nothing in Xie Qingcheng's eyes.
Even though the two of them had slept together so many times, and even though he had said things so nakedly, Xie Qingcheng was still completely treating him like a brat.
He Yu was torn between relief and bitterness for a while, until Xie Qingcheng broke the embarrassing silence and asked him, "...... Tell me about the case, what do you want to talk to me about."
"......"
The main purpose of their meeting tonight was still to talk about the case.
He Yu collected himself, there could be no ambiguity in this regard, so he took out his cell phone.
"The first thing that happened was that I found out some of Huang Zhilong's personal information that he had hidden online."
"Hidden information?"
"Uh-huh." He Yu said, "People like Huang Zhilong have biographies and even entries on the Internet. But after I took a closer look, I realized that there was a period of time when his resume was very simple and seemed to have been deliberately streamlined. This time period was probably more than twenty years ago."
When he wasn't being ambiguous, his demeanor followed suit. The two got down to business and started talking about the case.
"Around 1998, the Internet was not yet popularized in our country, and it was not unusual for information on the Internet to be incomplete; it was not difficult for Huang Zhilong to hide his experiences at that time. Most people wouldn't find anything wrong with it."
"But I hacked into the Archive Information Center and checked. Huang Zhilong used to be a visiting professor at Huzhou University in the 1990s. Teaching none other than film and television choreography."
Xie Qingcheng, such a calm person, was also shocked by this news.
"HU?"
"It should be the HU Media College to be exact. At that time, HUMC and HUU hadn't merged, and he was the instructional expert that HUMC brought in."
This information seems to have strung some of the previous pieces together more tightly.
Wang Jiankang and Huang Zhilong's wife conspired to trick young people from remote villages into coming to Huzhou under the banner of "art training".
In fact, more than twenty years ago, Huang Zhilong himself was a professor at Shanghai Chuan.
It's hard not to think about it more.
Is it possible that Huang Zhilong himself had the idea to prey on his students for more than 20 years? And Wang Jiankang was just the "heir apparent" he favored?
After all, when the boss gets big, he always needs to wash his hands clean, and that kind of blood-stained thing can be accomplished by leaving it to someone else.
"Another thing I noticed, and that's something to think about as well." He Yu said.
Xie Qingcheng: "What."
"Look at this."
Xie Qingcheng took a look at He Yu's cell phone screen.
It is a photograph of Jin Xiuhe, Huang Zhilong's wife.
It was an ID photo of a very young woman, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and should be called a teenager.
She was more beautiful than the mature version of the woman in the thesaurus, but beyond the beauty, there seemed to be something very scary hidden, making the ID photo look somehow extra scary and ghostly.
Xie Qingcheng frowned.
He Yu: "Do you feel sick?"
"Very uncomfortable."
He Yu was silent for a moment and said, "But you know what, I asked other people and they all spoke very highly of the picture and thought she was very good looking and there was nothing about her that made them uncomfortable."
Xie Qingcheng was stunned, "The horror that arose from this photo is limited to you and me?"
"Hmm. I don't know if it's because we both learned some of the truth behind it and therefore created a mental illusion, or if for some other reason the horror in the photo was only felt by the two of us."
He Yu said, pointing to a place in the photo that Xie Qingcheng might not have noticed.
"If it's the latter, I think maybe it's because of this."
Xie Qingcheng followed his pointing finger.
"Clothes?"
"School uniforms."
"It only proves that she was a student when the picture was taken."
"It also proves another thing."
"What?"
"This school uniform formal is not too different from our current style. After the merger of HU and HU Tran, HU chose HU Tran's school uniform design, because the design was very avant-garde and beautiful at that time, so until now, HU's uniforms are still very similar to the ones at that time. You're not from HU, you're not particularly familiar with it. But I can tell from the collar of this ID photo - Jin Xiuhe, once a student of HU Chuan."
"!"
"The experience was also erased. That doesn't surprise me; perhaps Huang Zhilong felt that the teacher-student relationship was a scandal. And as far as I can tell from my research, his wife left within a few months of studying at HUMC, went abroad to get her gold plating and then came back, and later married Huang."
Xie Qingcheng: "What you are saying is that Huang Zhilong and his wife may have been the first to prey on students. Later, Huang Zhilong went behind the scenes, and his wife used Wang Jiankang to continue the trafficking of human beings and organs."
He Yu: "So far it seems so. The only thing is that the woman in the photo is already dead, and we want to get to know the truth of the corroboration, and the last thing we can look for is Huang Zhilong."
A long silence.
The new points that He Yu has found are really something to think about.
Xie Qingcheng was silent for a moment, "Did you find anything else?"
He originally thought that He Yu would answer no. Because within such a short period of time, He Yu was already capable enough to find out these two things. Unexpectedly, He Yu pressed out the cell phone screen and said:
"Yes."
"...... Tell me about it."
He Yu stares into his eyes for a moment, then says, "It's not anything important. And it's something I just found out, are you sure you want to hear it?"
Xie Qingcheng frowned, wondering why he was suddenly mushy, "Of course I want to listen."
"Oh ......" He Yu paused for a moment and laughed, "Then ...... the last thing is... ...Brother, I've noticed that you're treating me much better."
"......" Xie Qingcheng indifference thought, really into, the case is finished, this person will begin to have no spectrum again.
Meeting Xie Qingcheng's face, He Yu said, "You told me to say it."
Xie Qingcheng : "...... It's OK if you want poor."
"Don't." He Yu smiled a small smile with some hidden gangliness in it, but his long eyelashes made him look good, "This is good for now."
The dishes came one by one.
He Yu asked Xie Qingcheng as he ate, "Brother, did you use this kind of treatment with other people in the past?"
"What?"
"When you don't know how to respond or simply can't respond to someone's kindness, this is how you reason, patiently talk people out of it, with an even milder temper than usual."
Xie Qingcheng : "......"
He Yu: "Or are you only doing this to me?"
Xie Qingcheng recalled that he used to reject Li Ruoqiu in a similar way.
He would make it very clear, but if the other party insisted on not leaving, he could not do anything excessively hurtful. The other party's like will even become his guilt, the guilt is heavy, the force of the hand can not help but also light.
Xie Qingcheng finally sighed and didn't answer He Yu's question directly, but said, "I wish you had figured it out earlier, He Yu, your feelings for me are just a substitute for the fatherly, affectionate love you want. You are treating me like your father."
"Who wants to see you as He Jiwei." He Yu looked at him with his cheeks resting on his head, "He's not as good looking as you are."
"......"
"I'm looking at you as someone I like. You can't accuse me falsely."
Xie Qingcheng wanted to curse your mother, but remembering He Yu's heartbroken and out-of-control appearance, he still held back in the end.
"...... eat."
After a meal, Xie Qingcheng remembered something, found an electronic wristband in his coat pocket, and pushed it to He Yu: "Right, this is for you."
He Yu apricot eyes round, "You ...... you send me a gift?"
Xie Qingcheng : "...... is not a gift. It's a monitoring wristband. It was first customized by Qin Ciyan to monitor the mood of mental Ai Bola patients and send out alerts. I think you need one now."
He Yu scrutinized the band and finally slipped it around his wrist, the black minimalist design making it look like a regular sports e-ring.
"The one you're wearing is a new model, just recently developed, and it can play a role in controlling your emotions to some extent. You'd better wear it with you and don't take it off except for bathing."
"Isn't it waterproof?"
"Waterproof."
"Then I'll wear it in the shower too."
Xie Qingcheng : "......"
He Yu: "Because you gave it to me."
Xie Qingcheng raised his hand and held his forehead, "He Yu, can you be a little more sensible and think carefully again about what I said to you, that you don't like me. It's even more impossible for me to like you."
"Xie Qingcheng, can you be a little more sensible and think carefully again about what I said to you, I know you don't like me, but I like you."
"......"
"If that bothers you so much, then I can do the same by never appearing in front of you again. Just nod your head."
Xie Qingcheng Where can I nod?
He Yu's personal status is so bad, and it's all because of his feelings for him, Xie Qingcheng can't get rid of him at all.
Finally Xie Qingcheng could only say, "...... Forget it. This little childish toss of yours isn't enough to bother me. But you have to be clear, no matter what you do, it's impossible for me to develop feelings for you. What you're doing is a complete waste of time and life."
"No. Time spent on you is never called wasted."
"......"
"Thank you for being willing to let me stay with you."
Xie Qingcheng, "Who the hell would want to?"
"You just said you didn't mind."
"I'm saying it doesn't bother me."
"Then let me accompany you, Brother Xie, I tell you, I ah, young, physical strength, have a love affair, will come to sex, guaranteed to give you unprecedented user experience, and you do not have to have the burden, since you think you certainly will not like me, then you try, try not to lose- "
Xie Qingcheng got up, "Waiter, the bill."
On their way back, He Yu still clings to Xie Qingcheng and talks incessantly, like an adult dragon followed by a Little dragon cub with a gurgling tail.
"Shea, I'm talking to you ......"
"Xie, walk a little slower."
"Thanks ...... ahjo!"
"......" Xie Qingcheng looked back and saw that He Yu, who was dressed as elegantly as a peacock opening its screen, finally couldn't hold himself up in the chilly night wind and sneezed three times in a row, and couldn't help shivering a little at the end.
Xie Qingcheng is really want to pretend not to see, but he this person's saintly father nature is here, think of He Yu is very sick, and then have to take medication for colds, if this continues to become a pot of medication at such a young age, it is really not a good thing.
So still, he took off his jacket and threw it at He Yu with a sullen face.
"Finished with the flowery branches?" He said in a cold voice, "Frozen? The. Wrap your clothes around you and don't turn around and bother me about being sick again."
"......"
He Yu really didn't expect to be treated so well after confessing to Xie Qingcheng.
Though this treatment is an additional effect of the "good guy card", which is entirely made up for by Xie Qingcheng's guilt, it is much better than the pain that he had to endure alone before.
He Yu's bitterness brought some joy, he unfolded Xie Qingcheng's coat, the black tweed material was stained with Xie Qingcheng's smell - the faint smell of tobacco and disinfectant - which was obvious. When he smelled this odor, he felt his heart soften for the most part.
He walked over to them and suddenly pulled his heavy coat over the heads of both men.
Xie Qingcheng was taken aback, not knowing what he was going to do, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, and in this sudden darkness, the youth's hand wrapped around the back of his head, and gently pressed both their foreheads against each other under the shroud of the overcoat.
"Xie Qingcheng."
Surrounded by pedestrians walking by intermittently.
But half of their bodies were covered under their tweed coats, and passersby just looked curiously sideways but saw nothing.
He Yu was in the darkness, looking at Xie Qingcheng's handsome face from a close distance, smelling the clean and steady scent of a mature man around his neck, and as he watched, Xie Qingcheng's thin, blood-colored lips seemed to have some kind of fatal magnetic attraction, seducing him to lean in closer and closer.
Finally, he turned his face to the side, covered by his overcoat, and kissed Xie Qingcheng's lips with his eyes closed on the neon-lit road.
"Don't you think I'm being childish."
"In fact you are quite childish, in the future, ah, don't use the vegetarian restaurant to scare me, you will find that it is not useful at all. You don't say you're a vegetarian, I'll come to visit you in front of the Buddha's door every day even if you shave your head."
"Because I'm really trying to chase you properly."
"I love you."
