"Yeah." Shen Yuhuai just nodded without asking any more questions. He glanced at Chen Qizhao's computer desktop and noticed a course schedule posted on the stand next to it.

"I'm not a fan, I'm just watching casually." Chen Qizhao turned off the computer. He was about to explain when he saw a flash of lightning. With a loud bang, the whole dormitory went dark in an instant, followed by bursts of wailing sounds from the nearby dormitory building.

There was a thunderstorm and the power was cut off in the dormitory building.

Chen Qizhao touched the phone on the table, and a light suddenly lit up in the dormitory, and Shen Yuhuai turned on the flashlight on his phone.

"The power is out?" Shen Yuhuai walked to the window and saw a large area of ​​the campus was dark. "It may be a line failure caused by the heavy rain. At this time, it is estimated that it will not be restored until tomorrow morning."

The darkness was filled with wind and rain, and in the distance there were lightning and thunder in the sky.

Chen Qizhao didn't expect the weather to suddenly become so bad. He found his cell phone and sent a message to Yan Kailin, then followed the light from the cell phone to the closet to look for clothes.

Shen Yuhuai raised the light for him, "Can you find it?"

Chen Qizhao found his clothes and said, "The hot water should still be on. I'll go take a shower and change my clothes."

The atmosphere became very quiet after the power outage. When Chen Qizhao came out of the shower, he saw Shen Yuhuai sitting in his chair looking at his phone. It was almost 12 o'clock before he knew it. Chen Qizhao found the spare pillow pressed under the closet. He bought a whole set of bed covers at that time, and he didn't expect that he could use it at this time.

"I'll sleep inside." Chen Qizhao offered.

Shen Yuhuai gave him a seat.

There was no electricity and no other entertainment, and it was already a bit late.

Chen Qizhao noticed that the bed next to him was pressing down slightly, and he leaned towards the wall. The bed looks quite big, but it is just the right size for two adult men to lie on it. The slightest movement of turning over is very obvious and they can easily bump into each other.

Maybe it was his illusion, he always felt that when someone was around, his nose was filled with the smell of mint.

He thought absentmindedly that he had never noticed his shower gel smelled so good before.

"Brother Huai, are you busy these days?" Chen Qizhao moved his position. "I always reply to your messages very late."

"Well, the first phase of the project is coming to an end, and the team is trying to catch up on the progress, so it will be quite busy." Shen Yuhuai, who has a normal work and rest schedule, had a somewhat tired tone in his voice, "But it's almost done, so we will be quite free for the next period of time."

The light coming in from the window is a little weak, but it is enough to see people clearly in the dark.

Chen Qizhao let himself lie on his back, "Are you not ready for the competition?"

Shen Yuhuai: "Prepare. The reason for the slack time is because the equipment in the institute needs to be inspected and repaired, and the time we use the laboratory has been adjusted."

Laboratory equipment maintenance…? Chen Qizhao had heard this before, and he had also heard the brief conversation between He Shuhang and Shen Yuhuai during the open class last time. If the equipment is being overhauled, the number of external personnel entering the institute will also increase, right?

Chen Qizhao asked, "This inspection will take a long time, right?"

“It’s okay, maybe three or four days.” Shen Yuhuai answered patiently: “Some instruments will be checked more carefully.”

"I heard that Senior Brother He is also preparing for a competition, and it seems to be the same competition as yours." Chen Qizhao glanced at Shen Yuhuai and reminded him tentatively: "Will there be any conflict in your competitions?"

He didn’t hear Shen Yuhuai’s reply after he finished speaking, he glanced slightly but suddenly met Shen Yuhuai’s gaze.

Chen Qizhao avoided his gaze and unhesitatingly changed the subject: "I'm just curious. I heard that the competition for admission to graduate school in their department is quite fierce. Senior Brother He is preparing for this competition in order to be admitted to graduate school."

Shen Yuhuai said: "He is indeed in the same competition group as me. But the competition is just a reference factor. In fact, the postgraduate entrance examination in the chemical industry pays more attention to the overall quality of the students. The competition can indeed add a lot of points to the quota election."

Chen Qizhao: “Oh, I see.”

"Yeah." Shen Yuhuai's eyes fell on the boy next to him, "Are you sure you don't want to sleep over a little? There's still some space in the middle."

"Really?" Chen Qizhao leaned slightly towards Chen Yuhuai's position, and his feet running around under the quilt accidentally touched the other's clothes. He shrank back: "It's good to sleep like this."

He paused for a moment and then talked about another thing: "My mother said that Huai Ge went to my house when he was a child? Is that true?"

Shen Yuhuai did not answer immediately, and answered after a while: "I have been there, when I was a child."

Chen Qizhao noticed the sleepiness in his voice and didn't respond.

As the night deepened, the wind and rain continued outside, and the dormitory gradually became quiet.

Chen Qizhao closed his eyes but was not asleep. He felt a little stiff after sleeping in the same position for so long. He turned sideways carefully, but his toes rested on Shen Yuhuai's calves, and he didn't move for a moment. Shen Yuhuai's pajamas were already short, and when he bent slightly, most of his calves were exposed, touching each other's skin.

He quickly retracted his feet, his heart beating inexplicably fast.

Chen Qizhao asked in a low voice: "Brother Huai, are you asleep?"

Shen Yuhuai did not respond.

Chen Qizhao moved down again, letting his slightly stiff body relax, then closed his eyes and rested.

When his breathing became steady, Shen Yuhuai opened his eyes and observed the people around him through the dim light.

Chen Qizhao slept curled up against the wall, with half of his face covered by the quilt and only half of his head exposed.

As if he was afraid of the cold, Chen Qizhao was almost buried in the quilt, a small ball. However, this sleeping position meant that most of his back was not covered by the quilt.

Shen Yuhuai adjusted his position and pulled the quilt upwards.

When he took his hand back, he couldn't help but rub Chen Qizhao's head quietly. The hair under his fingers was soft and fine, and the feeling was just like when he was a child.

It was late at night at Chen's house, and the light was still on in the study.

There were various documents on the desk, and the two had just finished discussing the matters of the quarterly work meeting. The warm water in the cup beside him was the water that Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper, had just changed, and there was also blood pressure medicine that was sent. Chen Jianhong glanced at Chen Shiming beside him and said, "I heard something. You've been investigating something recently."

Chen Shiming did not deny it after hearing it. After a pause, he said, "I'm investigating. The conflicts between Y City and Yicheng were a bit strange. I asked someone to investigate. How did Dad know about this?"

"I've also been paying attention to Yicheng's affairs. I saw Xiao Xu when I passed by that office this afternoon." Chen Jianhong took his blood pressure medication. "If you want to check, check it. If there is a problem, find it out as soon as possible. I'm giving you the power because I hope you can help me share the burden."

"Dad, what do you think about Yicheng's matter?" Chen Shiming's gaze stayed on Chen Jianhong's head, with his black and white hair intertwined. He had come into contact with far fewer affairs than Chen Jianhong, and he still had time to investigate other things, but his father was busy with all kinds of things and encountered more problems. Sometimes it was not that the other party did not notice the problem, but that he was powerless.

There are so many business projects under the group, and Chen Jianhong can see a lot, but in fact it is very little.

"We have business frictions with Yicheng, but it is not enough to use drugs to deal with your brother. It is probably a problem with the Lin family." Chen Jianhong looked down, "The Lin family's charity party was attended by a mixed crowd. No matter from which angle you look at it, Yicheng's attack on the Lin family is indeed the best explanation. But if you still have doubts about this matter, then continue to investigate."

Chen Shiming nodded. "Dad, I always feel that something is a little strange inside the group. If we find out something in the future..."

Chen Jianhong suddenly looked at him, his eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning: "Shi Ming, although Chen Corporation belongs to the Chen family, there are many people who want to attack it. There are some old stubborn people who are too deeply rooted in the group. It is difficult for me to come forward, but you can."

He said, "Don't worry about me, just go ahead and do it."

Chen Shiming nodded.

Chen Jianhong said: "It's late too, go and get some rest."

Chen Shiming just took two steps out and turned his head to look at Chen Jianhong: "Dad, how do you think I am doing recently?"

"It has changed a bit." Chen Jianhong paused for a moment while drinking water. "He recently went to Feihong and got in touch with 2.0. I heard that he also wants to get involved in the entertainment industry. If he wants to do it, he can do it. His family supports him, but he also needs to produce results."

Seeing this, Chen Shiming hesitated to speak, and finally said: "You should go to bed early."

When going out, Chen Shiming saw Zhang Yazhi coming.

Zhang Yazhi smiled and said, "Go to bed quickly. I'll call your dad. You really don't take high blood pressure seriously."

Chen Shiming heard the door close and he was the only one left in the corridor. Special Assistant Xu recently sent the things Chen Qizhao had found to his office. Apart from the fact that he helped his classmates to shuffle their resumes at school, there were a few points that made him confused.

One of the points is that what Chen Qizhao investigated was repeated.

For example, the Feihong project could obviously be obtained directly from Feihong's office, or entrusted to his assistant Yu to investigate, but Chen Qizhao finally asked his special assistant Xu to investigate, as if he trusted Special Assistant Xu more than the people from Feihong.

There is also information sent by Special Assistant Xu...

Why is Chen Qizhao so interested in Feihong Rongguang 2.0? Is it really just a simple desire to make progress?

In the study, Chen Jianhong put the documents away and put them in the safe.

Zhang Yazhi: "You talked to Shi Ming for a long time today."

"We also chatted about some family matters." Chen Jianhong felt a little dizzy when he stood up, so he held on to the bookshelf.

Zhang Yazhi, who was standing next to him, hurried over to help him. "Are you dizzy again? I told you to stop staying up late, but you still talked about work for so long. If the blood pressure medicine doesn't work, go to the hospital for a detailed physical examination tomorrow."

"No big problem, I'm just sleepy." Chen Jianhong said suddenly: "Yazhi, I suddenly realized that the child may be better than we thought."

Zhang Yazhi glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, my own child will definitely be outstanding."

Chen Jianhong: “Very good.”

Zhang Yazhi: "Don't keep saying it. The children are working hard. Can't you just relax and praise them?"

Chen Jianhong calmed down again after hearing this and asked, "What do you think of Lao Lin?"

"Isn't he your good friend? He is a really good person and has helped us a lot." Zhang Yazhi looked at him strangely, "Why are you asking about this suddenly? You have been friends for so many years."

Chen Jianhong looked at the heavy rain outside the window and followed his wife's words.

"Yeah, we've been friends for so many years, maybe I'm wrong."

-*

After a heavy rain, the weather cleared up.

Chen Qizhao slept until after nine o'clock. He was still a little confused when he woke up. He tilted his head and saw the empty seat next to him. Then he suddenly remembered something. He sat up suddenly and saw Shen Yuhuai coming in from the door, carrying a bag of things and breakfast in his hands.

"I'm awake. I asked a friend to bring me some breakfast."

Chen Yuhuai passed the mountain gate and put down the bag in his hand. "Last night's clothes were not dry. He happened to come to S University for breakfast on his day off today, so I asked him to bring it to me."

Chen Qizhao paused: "He Shuhang?"

Shen Yuhuai glanced at him and said, "No, it's a friend who lives in the same dormitory in the institute."

He placed breakfast on the table and asked casually, "You seem very curious about He Shuhang."

"No." Chen Qizhao's voice became a little softer: "...I just asked casually."

Breakfast was a simple soy milk bun, and the two sat facing each other.

Chen Qizhao sat cross-legged, looked down at the buns in the bag, picked one at random and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.

It’s meat filling, not vegetable filling, because he likes to eat meat.

Shen Yuhuai ate very slowly, raised his eyes slightly to see Chen Qizhao’s bulging cheeks, and then his eyes fell slightly on the boy’s fingers holding the soy milk cup. Chen Qizhao has very slender fingers. When he came out of the bathroom last night, he saw these hands typing on the keyboard from the back. They looked light and beautiful.

Chen Qizhao suddenly noticed the gaze from the opposite side, and when he looked up, he saw the smile in the man's eyes.

Shen Yuhuai was still wearing his light grey pajamas, with the bear print on his chest particularly noticeable. At this moment, he was holding a soy milk cup in one hand, with a somewhat lazy attitude that was not usually seen.

As if noticing his gaze, Shen Yuhuai said, "The breakfast in the second cafeteria is very good."

Chen Qizhao picked up the bun, lowered his head and took only half a bite, "...It's pretty good."

Not long after breakfast, Shen Yuhuai changed his clothes and left.

But it seemed that after the two of them spent the night together on that rainy night, Chen Qizhao and Shen Yuhuai were more relaxed when chatting, and occasionally Shen Yuhuai would recommend to him which stall in the cafeteria had the better breakfast.

He was clearly from another school, but he seemed to know S University cafeteria better than he did.

A week passed in a flash, and it was another dull Wednesday. The entire day's classes were general education courses that Chen Qizhao was not very interested in.

The afternoon class had just begun. The teacher's voice in the classroom made people sleepy. Chen Qizhao flipped the pages of the book carelessly, with the material sent by Shen Yuhuai tucked underneath. After all, he had some basic knowledge in science, so he would glance at it from time to time and unexpectedly found it quite interesting. It was a little better than the college English lectures he had heard twice in his previous and next lives.

At this moment, he was flipping through the textbook seriously when the cell phone under the textbook started vibrating, attracting a look from the classmate sitting next to him.

"Classmate, your cell phone." The male classmate sitting next to me reminded in a low voice.

Chen Qizhao came back to his senses, picked up his phone and saw the name appearing on the screen, his eyes suddenly froze.

He stood up directly, attracting the attention of many teachers in the classroom.

"Classmate?" The English teacher gave me a puzzled look.

"Go to the bathroom." Chen Qizhao ignored the whispers around him, walked past the seats and left the classroom.

Chen Qizhao walked out of the classroom while his cell phone continued to vibrate.

"Boss, He Shuhang hasn't come out for half an hour, which is a bit beyond the previous time." The voice on the phone was a little rough, and there was a hint of background noise from the street.

Chen Qizhao walked quickly and said in a cold voice: "Where are the people who were in the same group with him before? Have they come out?"

The laboratories of the institute have set usage hours, and students from S University generally enter and exit the laboratories together.

"I came out early." The voice on the other end of the phone said, "And there are quite a lot of people coming in and out of the institute today. It seems that they are repairing some machines. I think the situation is a little strange. It's not the same as what you said before, so I called you..."

"I see."

There was a cold look in Chen Qizhao's eyes.
