Chapter 230: I've been waiting for you where you are

He Yu comes out of the lab, it's already afternoon.

He told Chen Man the whole story, and then managed to get a God of wind system, made hidden modifications and handed it over to the other party.

He and Chen Man agreed to act at 4:00 p.m. the next day. Until then, Chen Man had to stay in He Yu's private laboratory, pretending to be used as a blood-compulsion test, so as to avoid arousing others' suspicion.

Other than that, he didn't want to talk any nonsense with Chen Man, and after everything was explained, he left there alone.

But He Yu didn't go back to his suite right away; he had a few things he had to get out of the way first.

As usual, after he came out of the lab, he walked around the open space downstairs, took some ham sausages and fed them to the hyenas wearing control rings, sat on a garden lounge chair and played some cell phone games, and even made a phone call to a few partners in Huzhou to talk about business with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhang ah ...... hahaha, see your message, that project is not urgent, I'm on a business trip in Australia, so, we have not met for a long time, come back to meet, I find you to make an appointment, you then see when you are convenient, into it? Okay, okay, okay."

"Hello Mr. Yang ......"

He went about his business as usual, gracefully finished his phone call, and went to the island's dessert store to pick up a pistachio ice cream and take a short walk.

But in truth, he had been secretly watching the surveillance cameras outside the Mandela building, calculating the feasibility of several alternatives for tomorrow's operation. When it was almost dark, he went back to the Garden Restaurant for a quick snack, then put on his headphones, listened to music, and walked confidently toward another lab in the Mandela building.

After he left, a servant was tidying up the trays of juice drinks and snacks that were set out on the garden tables and chairs while staring at He Yu's back, then lowered his head and said to Duan Wen through the accompanying earphone, ''Mr. Duan. Mr. He was normal before, but he was very strange just now, he went to that unused lab ...... Well, should I continue to follow? Good ...... I know."

.

An hour later.

Inside the lab.

He Yu frowned and wiped the blood from his fingers.

He was still so rusty with these instruments that he actually cut his finger trying to make something as simple as this.

But it was finally finished in time for the war, I just can't give it away yet, until it's fixed up a bit.

He Yu sighed and stared at the object laid out on the test bench for a few moments before he finally closed his eyes and got up and walked over to the sink, removing his blood-stained test rubber gloves and rinsing his hands under the faucet.

It was completely dark and the clock on the wall pointed to seven forty.

He gathered his things and headed for the Mandela building. Up the elevator and through the thickly carpeted corridors, He Yu stopped at the door to his suite, but his hand stopped before it touched the biometric door.

He stared at the endless summer that was skeletonized on the door.

--It's the last night before the war.

Chen Man has been rescued by him, and tomorrow they will rendezvous and work together to destroy Radical Cold Light.

If nothing else, this was the only night he had left alone with Xie Qingcheng.

He Yu closed his eyes, he didn't want to resign himself to his fate, for which he had been preparing all day. After a few moments, he took a deep breath, entered the code, and pushed the door in-

Xie Qingcheng is not in the living room.

He heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Xie Qingcheng was taking a bath in the bathroom, He Yu stood still for a while, thinking that it was better for him not to go in yet. But he was also anxious about what he was going to say to Xie Qingcheng. He paced back and forth to calm his mind, and finally decided to go to the kitchen to cook something, so that when Xie Qingcheng came out, he could eat something first, and then he could talk to him slowly.

However he froze as soon as he reached the table.

The table has actually been set with a few meat and vegetarian home cooking dishes, I can see that they are made with ingredients from the refrigerator. There was sweet and sour lotus root, light and refreshing green vegetables and tofu, fresh and tender Kung Pao Chicken, and a pot of grainy and golden Yangzhou fried rice with lots of moist shrimp in it.

He Yu stood rigidly in place for quite some time.

This was the first time Xie Qingcheng had prepared a dinner just for him.

His heart was beating so fast all at once.

He didn't know ...... didn't know if Xie Qingcheng also had the same idea as he reported, maybe Xie Qingcheng also thought that this was the last night, so he wanted to leave no regrets, maybe Xie Qingcheng also had something to say and wanted to say it to him. ......

He thought about the "no regrets" last night, and the passion that wasn't feigned when Xie Qingcheng kissed him on his own accord.

It was these details that gave him so much to look forward to, and adorned his heart with a fine light like the flowers that struggled to bloom even before the end.

He Yu looked at the table of home-cooked food with his heart beating like a drum and his palms sweating so much that he had to go to the living room and pour himself a cup of hot water and take two sips in order to keep himself calm and look normal.

He sat down in front of the coffee table as the sound of the water in the bathroom continued to rumble, and he listened absentmindedly for a moment, glancing over to the kitchen where the lights were on and the dishes were laid out. He was almost like a man waiting for an important interview, on one side expecting the conversation to go faster so he could find out the final outcome, and on the other wishing that things would happen slower and give him a little more time to breathe.

In the process, He Yu accidentally scanned a book "The Nightingale Collection" placed prominently on the tea table, which was supposed to be half-read by Xie Qingcheng, he picked it up and read it absentmindedly for a while, and then suddenly realized that on the title page of the book, there were some words written down by Xie Qingcheng casually.

Fixing his eyes again, he couldn't help but be stunned.

That's the message Xie Qingcheng risked leaving for him!

He quickly swept his eyes in the direction of the bathroom, then carefully read over the words on the title page.

"He Yu, Duan Wen sent someone this afternoon to say he'd like to talk to me alone at eight o'clock. There's food on the table, eat well and wait for me to return."

It seems that Xie Qingcheng thought that he would not be able to come home on time, so he wrote something down in advance. In order to be more cautious, Xie Qingcheng did not write more content, but I can guess that Duan Wen is afraid that he sensed something strange and wanted to test Xie Qingcheng, Xie Qingcheng will not go.

He Yu looked at his watch, it was almost eight o'clock.

"......" He Yu's heart bounced heavily again. His fingers trembled slightly, his mind complicated, and he eventually ripped off the page with his name on it, folded it into a white rose, and quietly and noiselessly placed it into his chest lapel pocket.

Just as he did this, he heard the bathroom sliding door clatter.

He stood up abruptly and rushed to the bedroom.

Xie Qingcheng had already changed his clothes and was wiping his hair, when he saw He Yu suddenly running in, he was startled: "...... You're back already?"

He Yu's throat rolled back and forth twice before he let out a muffled "hmmm".

Under surveillance, the distance is too far to say much. He Yu was so cold that he suddenly thought of a solution.

He walked over and took a snow-white dry towel and covered Xie Qingcheng's shoulders, then turned his face sideways and kissed Xie Qingcheng's sideburns with his warm, slightly trembling lips.

"I'll blow-dry your hair." He said and tugged gently on his sleeve.

Xie Qingcheng was stunned, understood, lowered his eyelashes, and went to the restroom with He Yu without any expression on his face.

The hair dryer in front of the mirror connected and He Yu stood behind him, his tall form close to his bathrobe-wrapped back, "The clothes are wet."

Xie Qingcheng : "......"

"Blow a little longer."

He Yu said and flipped the switch, the noise rang out, and while he stood behind him blowing out his hair, naturally, he said quickly to Xie Qingcheng in a faintly undetectable voice, "The paper on the table, I saw it. Did Duan Wen say what he wanted you for?"

Xie Qingcheng : "He said it's just to talk, I can't not go, but I can see that he should just want to test, you don't have to worry. What about you? How are you arranging things for tomorrow?"

He Yu : "I've got it all set up too ......"

Taking the time to blow-dry their hair, He Yu and Xie Qingcheng have a quick chat about the day's highlights and what they should do tomorrow.

He Yu told Xie Qingcheng about how he had given up Zheng Jingfeng as a candidate for cooperation, and how he had rescued Chen Man.

Xie Qingcheng accepted the arrangement after a moment of surprise - indeed, Chen Man was the best choice besides Zheng Jingfeng.

Xie Qingcheng asked, "Does he know all about the situation?"

"All clear."

"...... You didn't get into a fight with him."

"Time was short, I only talked to him about business, there was nothing to argue about."

Xie Qingcheng thought to himself that if He Yu knew the truth from Chen Man, and knew that he and Chen Man had not had any relationship, his reaction would definitely not be like this. It seemed that they really hadn't communicated anything except for their plans for tomorrow.

With his hair almost dry, He Yu smelled Xie Qingcheng's light, cool scent.

Xie Qingcheng's hair gently passed through the gap between his fingers and wrapped around his fingers, and as he finished his business in the midst of this winding softness, he raised his eyes and looked at the two people in the mirror.

Time is getting tight. Eight o'clock is coming up.

He Yu whispered, "Xie Qingcheng ......."

Xie Qingcheng also looked at him in the mirror, "...... Hmm?"

He Yu encircled his waist, and the man in the mirror made the same movement, he felt a slight shudder from the person in his arms, he looked at the mirror and then down at Xie Qingcheng's pale neck.

He lowered his head and kissed the side line of Xie Qingcheng's jaw as if he could not help himself, the lingering was like Xie Qingcheng's light trembling, it was not a playful pretense.

He said softly, "Are you worried about tomorrow ...... too?"

Xie Qingcheng's fingers rested on the side of the runner, slightly whitened, "Don't worry, tomorrow will be fine."

He Yu's thick eyelashes fluttered, and the fine kisses couldn't stop spreading, from his chin upwards, kissing over the bridge of his nose, his eyebrows, his forehead, and finally he simply turned Xie Qingcheng's whole person from his back to him, carrying him to sit on the sink, and letting Xie Qingcheng's back rest against the cold mirror surface.

He wrapped around Xie Qingcheng's fingers, interlocked his fingers against the mirror, and then heavily kissed Xie Qingcheng's lips.

The heat in the air sprang up, and he kissed him lingeringly, mournfully, wistfully.

As his lips parted with wetness, He Yu lifted his eyes to meet the ambiguous light from the sink, and looked at Xie Qingcheng's eyebrows in fascination.

The distance was close enough for him to say in front of him, "You know, I almost didn't hold back today ......"

"Not holding back anything." Between gasps, Xie Qingcheng asked.

He Yu said, "I didn't hold back and wanted to kill Chen Man."

"!!!"

He Yu gently touched his cheek with the tip of his nose, lovingly and horribly, "I wondered if I killed him ...... and we could go back to being like we were before ...... I want him to disappear from this world, and I think if I kill him now , and you won't know, you won't know anything ......"

"He Yu, you--"

"But I thought of you. I didn't do it."

"......"

He Yu clutched one of his hands, pressed it against the sink, and whispered, "Xie Qingcheng, I understand why you don't want to talk to me about personal matters, because we have a lot of preparations to make, and those involve the lives of thousands of people, or even more victims, but I have a feeling that you've been wanting to say something to me since last night. I'm not sure that's what I'm longing to hear, and I'd love to know exactly what you want to say to me."

"So I've spent the day working out all the most important things. And I've mentally prepared myself for the entire day, and I promise that no matter what I hear, I won't lose control and jeopardize the mission."

"......"

"Xie Qingcheng, have you ever thought about what if there was an accident tomorrow and you or I, either one of us, were killed in the mission?"

Xie Qingcheng's heart tightened.

"I don't want to just stop here with regrets and not even have the courage to tell all the truth inside me until I die. I can't let go."

"...... I have a lot to say to you." He Yu said, "I know that you feel that the truth is important, but I wonder if you could risk this one last time for me if you could, trusting that I won't lose control, and tell me all that is in your heart. Can you leave this last night to me, can you be selfish this one and only time for me."

"......"

The almond eyes looked toward him, toward the bright, twinkling peach eyes.

He was, as he had been when he had been invited to a dance, a look of infinite anticipation and slight apprehension.

"Xie Qingcheng. you tonight, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Xie Qingcheng looked at him steadily.

They lingered as if tomorrow morning would be the end.

When they were sentimental, it was as if all the torture had never happened.

In fact, after He Yu left in the morning, Xie Qingcheng was alone in the house for a long time. He knew that it was too dangerous for both of them to talk about their personal feelings at this time, given their emotional and mental state, but after the preparations were completed and before the official mission was launched, they had no other chance.

There are some things that if you don't even say them tonight, then if you have regrets, you might regret them for the rest of your life ......

He didn't realize that He Yu had been more thorough than he had thought - He Yu had pressed all of the most important deployment calculations before the battle to be completed today, leaving the evening open.

Then this youth asked him if you could give me the last time.

I've been preparing all day.

Can you trust me not to lose control.

Can you be selfish for me even this once.

Eyes crossed and entangled.

Xie Qingcheng has never risked his life for anyone, but at this moment in front of He Yu, he was shaken.

"...... Yes." Finally, Xie Qingcheng said, calming himself down and staring unblinkingly at He Yu, who had never cared for anything amorous in his life, something that had once been inadequate in his eyes, but in He Yu's case had finally ceased to be so, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

He Yu's heart skipped a beat and he clutched his hand, "I have too. There are many, many things I want to tell you."

Heart beating like a drum.

I don't know who it is.

Xie Qingcheng looked him in the eye and said, word for word, as if promising, "Me too."

He Yu's eyes reddened slightly, "Tonight then ......"

Dang-- dang-- dang--

Just then the chime of the parlor desk clock rang out and the doorbell was rung as expected.

At eight o'clock, Duan Wen was always very strict about time, and someone was already waiting at the door.

But Xie Qingcheng heard the sound of the doorbell, but did not go immediately.

As he watched He Yu's face, he had a feeling that He Yu might have vaguely guessed what each other was trying to say, just as he had.

The feelings of the two of them are like the ice frozen for a winter, when melting is not a sunshine will be all melted away. It is the ice first become thin, and then fragmented broken away, under the ice began to have a gentle water flow out, the process as if from hate to protection, from protection to ambiguity, from ambiguity to apprehension, from apprehension to temptation, from temptation to confirm the sincerity of the heart ...... little by little, in the April days on earth, and ultimately turned into a long-forgotten spring floods.

It is good that all this is not a sudden flow, but a gradual step, so that it is good ...... Just as a person who has been frozen for too long can not be immersed in hot water all at once, only a slow rubbing and warming back up, so that the person who was once deep in the freezing cold will not be injured.

For both of them, even more so.

When this layer of veil can no longer cover the heart of the fever, like a secret love chase has come to an end, the veil in the two people in not say I also love you before already vaguely guessed the other's heart.

In the depth of the veil, the two sides look at each other, as if through the thin red look at the face of the newcomer, even if the fan is not picked, not lifted, but also can be seen in a trance eyebrows.

It just lacks a solemn confession of intent.

Almost a night to hold hands and tell each other, a thousand knots dissolved.

"You wait for me, okay? After I see Duan Wen, this whole night will be yours alone."

He Yu's heart surged with an indescribable hot emotion, he stared at Xie Qingcheng's eyes, and in that urging doorbell, he kissed Xie Qingcheng's lips once again.

"Good. I'll be sure to wait for you to come back."

The doorbell pressed more urgently.

Loosen your lips and change your clothes.

Before Xie Qingcheng left, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head, and said to He Yu, "That's right."

"What's wrong?"

"There's one thing I want to talk to you about first."

He Yu's heart was beating fast: "What is it."

"I have not socialized with Chen Man." Xie Qingcheng stood by the door engraved with Endless Summer and looked quietly at He Yu, knowing that He Yu could understand him, and He Yu would certainly understand him.

This sentence, clear, not directly hit He Yu's heart to stir up his emotions alone a mess, it is more like a dose of spirit calming, like thousands of feelings of padding, and so on Xie Qingcheng back, more words, more things, will finally be able to follow like spring water melting, to talk to the mouth.

He didn't want any more regrets.

Xie Qingcheng said, "Never."

He Yu's heart a rolling hot, heat surged up to the eyes, a time actually feel dizzy, obviously so worth happy things, but I do not know whether it is because of too many ups and downs, but feel heartache like a strangling, very love with extreme pain.

"...... I ...... I don't have a clue ......"

"There's a lot of things you shouldn't know either, when I get back. There's something I want to ask you too."

"Good ......"

Xie Qingcheng finally glanced at He Yu from the doorway, and in the interplay of light and darkness, he turned his face sideways and seemed to smile at He Yu.

That smile was something He Yu had never seen before.

As if the door to the guest room in his dream had finally opened, Xie Qingcheng looked down at him as a teenager, smiled and said What's your hurry kid, I'm always here.

I've been ......

Click.

The door gently closed again.

Xie Qingcheng left with Duan Wen's cronies.

He Yu stood alone in the room, unable to calm his mind for a long time.

He stood in the midst of yesterday and today, as a teenager and as a young man, in a room that was not unlike the one he had been in then, and his chest seemed to beat with drums.

Finally, he murmured to no one in particular, "Come back early, I'll be waiting for you where you are."
