Chapter 856: Split, a pair of gay men

After Xiao Shiqiu hung up the phone, he tapped his fingertips lightly on the desk, making a dull "thump thump" sound.

I stuffed a potato chip into his mouth, and he bit it subconsciously, but his brows were still furrowed.

"No good news?"

"Lao Wen said the other kidnapper was named Huang Jianmin. He and He Zhiheng were childhood friends, and he did reveal some interesting things."

He pulled me to sit on his lap. "This Huang Jianmin said he'd never seen He Zhiheng's backside, and he never asked, but he still let it slip."

Huang Jianmin initially insisted that he did not know the purpose. He Zhiheng only asked him to help send someone, but he had no idea who it was or where it was going.

Later, when he was pressed by the police, he said that every time He Zhiheng asked him to work, he did whatever he was asked to do and never said a word.

According to Lao Wen, He Zhiheng's confession could be true, or it could be a lie he made to avoid punishment.

Seeing that I was lost in thought, he reached out and held me to sit on his lap, and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

I turned my head to look at him. "I was thinking, if we can find a breakthrough with these two guys, then our undercover operation can be canceled, and Sister Xiaomei won't have to take the risk, right?"

He thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but you know, many things are irrational."

I:"……"

Seeing that I didn't say anything, he patiently explained to me, "It's one thing for the police to confirm that it was the Lu family who did it. It's another thing to produce enough evidence to convince the prosecutor that it was the Lu family who did it."

Although I didn't hold out much hope, I was still somewhat discouraged when I heard him say that.

"You continue working. I'll sort through the photos I took this time and pick out some good ones to edit and post on WeChat Moments."

I didn’t have time to edit the photos while I was outside, and I haven’t posted any yet.

The circle of friends of a delicate little beauty must be exquisitely decorated!

I held the tablet and started to edit the photos. Although my photography skills are average, I have a good foundation in art, so the composition of the photos is not too bad. In addition, the scenery in New Zealand is really photogenic. With just a filter, it looks like a National Geographic photo.

I carefully selected nine photos and posted them in a grid. The one in the middle is the one I am most proud of. The two black swans are embracing each other, forming a perfect heart shape. It is so adorable.

I thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a sentence that I thought was satisfactory.

The moment the black swans embrace each other, it is a journey of shared fleeting moments and a journey of mutual dependence, and love lies right in the middle.

After posting it on WeChat Moments, it quickly attracted a lot of likes. I happily read the comments and humbly replied to them one by one.

I suddenly saw a comment from Ming Chenggang: "Teacher Su asked me to ask you, why did you film two homosexual swans? He said that generally speaking, people with normal sexual orientation don't empathize with the homosexual community."

My face froze. Gay swan? What kind of niche term is that?

I sent Ming Chenggang a message, [What did your teacher Su mean? How did he know this was a gay couple?]

Ming Chenggang didn't reply, but directly sent a video call.

"Meng Meng~~" Ming Chenggang in the video was wearing a white coat, with an unconcealable smile on his face, "I am so funny, you actually filmed a pair of gay black swans, haha~~"

She laughed unrestrainedly, and I was about to burst.

Xiao Shiqiu was attracted by the movement over here and came over. "What do you mean by gay?" He accurately grasped the key words.

Ming Chenggang smiled adorably in front of the screen, "Teacher Su said Mengmeng photographed two male black swans."

"No, how did Su Yi figure it out?" Was this guy a veterinarian before?

Su Yi's gentle and handsome face happily squeezed into the screen, and he said in that calm tone, "Sister-in-law, judging from the body shape and beak shape of the two black swans in your photo, it can be confirmed that they are both males.

First, male black swans are typically about 15% larger than females, and second..."

Seeing that he was speaking with good reason, I interrupted him curiously, "Wait, which medical school still teaches this?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds. "When I was in school, I took the elective course of veterinary medicine to earn credits."

He is really knowledgeable and talented!

I still feel a little unwilling to accept that such a beautiful picture was described by him as a gay couple.

"Even if they are two male swans, it doesn't mean they are necessarily gay."

Su Yi spoke calmly, as if he was seriously reasoning with me. He said with certainty, "He must be gay. According to research data from the University of Auckland in 2018, the proportion of homosexuals in wild male black swans is as high as 3%, about 25%. Of course, some of them are bisexual..."

Why did this little-known fact enter my brain in such a strange way?

The pure and beautiful black swan suddenly became dirty.

I listened in amazement as this medical doctor described the coming-out behavior in the animal world in a tone like an academic report. I felt like my three views were being rubbed against the ground.

I hung up the video call angrily, "You're right, Su Yi is a romantic insulator. This kind of idiot deserves to be single for the rest of his life."

Xiao Shiqiu suddenly laughed out loud and hugged me in his arms: "It's okay, baby." He pointed at the photo, "Look, you look so good in the photo. It's okay as long as you are beautiful. Anyway, there are no idiots like Su Yi in your circle of friends."

That's right, this is such unpopular knowledge that not many people know about it.

The number of likes in the circle of friends continued to increase. Xiao Shiqiu took a look and said, "Wow, I didn't realize that your social circle is quite large."

"That's right." I glanced at him proudly. His circle of friends always had a horizontal line, and he only posted a photo of us when we got engaged.

I used to think he didn’t want others to know about my existence, but after he publicly proposed to me on the show, I never thought so again. This guy simply doesn’t like to post on WeChat Moments.

Suddenly I saw a message from my mother: [Are you back? ]

My mother must have seen the location in my circle of friends.

I replied: [Just arrived in City A yesterday.]

Not long after, my mother called me, "Mengmeng, your uncle has been here for several days. Since you are back, why don't you go home? Come back for dinner tonight. I will ask Aunt Wang to cook some of your favorite dishes."

I was a little reluctant, but thinking that I hadn't been home for a long time, I agreed, "Okay, I'll go back this afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, I fell listlessly into Xiao Shiqiu's arms, "Alas~ Mother has called me back, I can't accompany you this afternoon."

He leaned over and kissed my forehead, "Then I'll walk you home this afternoon?"
