Together
Wei Shao had a video conference this afternoon, so he returned home early, turned on his laptop, and listened to his secretary report on the recent project progress.
Wei Shao was preoccupied with something and was a little absent-minded.
He was hesitating whether to tell Philo what he had found out.
The secretary was still reporting clearly on the other end, but the video suddenly went black. Wei Shao pressed several buttons quickly, but there was still no response.
It seems that there is something wrong with the optical computer.
The meeting is about to start, so it may be too late to carry out repairs.
Fortunately, there is a computer in the large study next door, which is usually used by Philo, but he doesn't use it very often, so it can be used now.
He moved to another location with the documents, turned on the computer in the study, and found that there was a password.
...To be honest, after the last incident, he was a little scared of things that Philo had set codes for.
He sent a message to Philo: [Baby, can you use your light brain for a moment? The one in the workshop broke down. 】
But Philo seemed busy and did not see his message.
The secretary in the terminal was so anxious that he sent him several video messages. Wei Shao had to use the same old trick again and entered a string of numbers into the optical computer.
Sure enough, he went in.
Wei Shao sighed, his wife's habit of setting passwords was too bad, all the passwords were the same.
He didn't rummage around, but directly installed the company's video conferencing system, then logged into his account and adjusted the camera.
All members were present, waiting seriously for him to say start.
"Ding——" a message popped up in the lower right corner of the computer.
[Don’t let Wei Shao know about our affairs. 】
Wei Shao: “?”
“Ding——” Another one.
[Be careful.] 】
Wei Shao: “…”
"Boss Wei, Boss Wei?"
In the upper right corner of the screen, the secretary called him quietly, with an awkward expression.
What happened to Mr. Wei today? He was absent-minded again and again...
Wei Shao came back to his senses, took two deep breaths, and then forced a smile at the bug face in the video: "Nothing, let's continue."
…
When Philo returned home, he felt that something was not right.
Wei Shao was flipping through a magazine silently on the sofa. When he saw him come back, he just looked up and glanced at him indifferently.
Philo thought about it and realized that nothing happened today.
The only thing that mattered was... probably Wei Shao turned on his laptop in the afternoon.
He doesn't use the computer very often, he just logged into his social media accounts on it, so it shouldn't be something related to the computer.
Fei Luo walked to Wei Shao and wanted to hug him out of habit, but Wei Shao dodged him.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Philo was a little confused: "What do you want to hear?"
Wei Shao reminded him: "Adrian."
Philo remembered that Adrian seemed to have sent him a few messages today... He said in shock: "Adrian is a female insect."
Wei Shao frowned: "...Who asked you this?"
"Oh," Philo blinked his eyelashes, "what is that?"
"Don't act like a spoiled child. That won't work on me." Wei Shao looked at him seriously. "Tell me the truth. Are you and Adrian working together?"
From the tone of their conversation, even a fool could tell that this was not the first day they had been communicating privately.
Philo looked at him and whispered, "Is it not possible?"
"...I told you not to play it nice," Wei Shao sat up straight, distanced himself from him sternly, and straightened his sleeves. "You admit it, right? I have another question. When did you two hook up?"
It sounded like he and Adrian were having an affair... Philo frowned unhappily, but still answered, "The year I was transferred back to the Imperial Star by His Majesty."
That was six years ago.
Six years ago…
Wei Shao stared at Fei Luo for a while, then suddenly leaned forward, lifted his chin and snorted, "So Adrian's abduction of Min Xiong was also planned at that time, in order to help you find an opportunity to seduce me?"
Philo shook his head. "I wouldn't use such a boring method. He went crazy after knowing your pheromone concentration. I talked to him for a long time before I finally dissuaded him from doing that... We almost had a falling out because of this."
"Then I'm quite popular." Wei Shao smiled, pinched his waist, and leaned over to kiss him.
Just when Philo thought that this matter was over, Wei Shao suddenly whispered in his ear:
"So you also knew about that company secretly researching inhibitors?"
Philo's waist, which had been as soft as water, suddenly stiffened, and he was caught off guard.
Wei Shao then sensed the changes under his hands, nodded and concluded: "I'm afraid he not only knew, but also participated."
He propped himself up, looking at Philo with his dark eyes, the smile on his face had long disappeared.
Philo realized that all the previous nonsense was just to break down his psychological defenses and ask this last question.
Philo's voice was a little dry: "I..."
"What do you mean by 'you'?" Wei Shao pinched his waist again, "I haven't even rummaged through your study yet. If I look through it again, will I be able to find some evidence?"
Philo shook his head: "No - how can the evidence be placed in the study."
Wei Shao was so angry that he laughed: "You are quite cautious? My General, do you know that it is illegal?"
Philo fell silent.
So Wei Shao sighed and hugged him in his arms: "Can you tell me how you came up with the idea of doing this?"
Philo was a little stunned. He thought Wei Shao would be angry, but Wei Shao just hugged him and asked him about his original intention.
Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to many years ago. At that time, Wei Shao was not as patient with him as he is now, but he would still ask him seriously: "What do you think?"
Philo lowered his eyes and said, "For many reasons, this matter is like a bond of interest that temporarily binds my position and Adrian's position together. Moreover, if it can be done, it is not a bad thing. All female insects can be freed from the blood frenzy."
Wei Shao said "hmm".
Philo had explained it so clearly, so there was no need for him to remind people of the risks involved.
"Lolo," he pinched Philo's fingertips, "What is your ultimate goal? ... Tell me so that I can be mentally prepared."
By now, Wei Shao had discovered that this man in his family, who usually looked quiet and obedient, was actually just like him, with big ideas.
All I can say is, if you are not from the same family, you won’t enter the same door.
Philo curved the corners of his lips: "It's enough that you are fine."
Wei Shao knew in his heart that he was reluctant to say it, but his heart still ached at these perfunctory words.
-
When Chu Ersen walked out of the hospital, his legs were stiff.
He looked at the thin pregnancy test report in his hand, and the gender of the insect cub was shown to be a male.
Being a male cub meant that he could not abort the cub and had to take a mandatory leave of absence for a year and a half.
This meant that the promotion opportunity he had been waiting for nearly ten years was ruined.
The weather had warmed up, but he felt cold all over.
He called his lord again, but the other party did not answer.
He had a lot of odd jobs to do in the research institute and had very little time outside of work, so his relationship with the Lord was not very deep. Apart from regular comfort visits every month, they seldom met.
Chulsen turned off the terminal, walked across the long street alone, came to the lakeside of the park, and sat down on the cool bench.
He didn't understand why it was so difficult to do what he wanted to do, why there were so many obstacles that had nothing to do with the matter itself, and why every time he saw hope, an accident would occur and make it difficult for him to move forward.
Life has smoothed out his edges, is it going to extinguish the last bit of persistence in his heart?
Chulson didn't know.
For a moment, he suddenly hated everything: society, the hypocritical research institute, the hateful genes... and the unborn male cub in his belly.
The next second, he was in agony for having such thoughts as a female father.
"Want one?" A hand holding a cigarette was handed over from the upper right.
Chu Ersen subconsciously looked up and saw a young bug.
The other person was wearing a casual windbreaker and a mask, revealing a handsome face, and seemed somewhat familiar...
Maybe it's an illusion, Chulson thought.
His social circle is quite narrow. Apart from his colleagues in the research institute, the person he communicates with the most every day is the uncle who sells breakfast downstairs from his home.
Wei Shao didn't mind Chu Ersen's daze and pushed the cigarette forward again: "Do you want it?"
Chu Ersen shook his head: "I don't smoke."
“You don’t know how to smoke?” Wei Shao sat down beside him casually.
Chu Ersen was somewhat wary of this stranger who was chatting him up for no reason. He did not say that he could not smoke because he was pregnant, but nodded in agreement with the other party.
"Okay." Wei Shao put away the cigarette.
Chu Ersen couldn't help but ask, "Don't you smoke?" Wouldn't it be even weirder to specifically offer him a cigarette?
Wei Shao nodded: "Yes, my family won't let me - I saw you staring at the lake just now, it was really scary."
Chu Ersen was stunned.
…I thought he was going to jump into the lake.
He said embarrassedly: "No... I'm just sitting here for a while."
"It's windy here, Mr. Chu Ersen," Wei Shao gave him a faint smile, "Would you like to sit in my car?"
Chu Ersen immediately stepped back a foot in vigilance, then suddenly realized something: "Do you know me?"
The feeling of déjà vu came up again, and he couldn't help but stare at the insect's eyes and eyebrows again and again.
...Where have I seen him before?
"You're half right, I'm not the one who knows you, it's my brother Luo Fei who's still in school." Wei Shao pulled out a nameplate from his pocket and waved it in front of Chu Ersen. "Mr. Chu Ersen, would you mind sitting in my car for a while?"
Chu Ersen was stunned for a moment, with confusion and worry mixed in his heart, and finally nodded.
"What... is your name?" Chu Ersen sat in the passenger seat and watched the other party carefully raise the temperature in the car, and couldn't help asking.
"Hmm? Just call me Wei." Wei Shao handed him a business card. He lowered his head and looked carefully, only to find out that the other person was the CEO of a large company.
...Maybe it was unnecessary for him to leave his contact information to that child that day... Chu Ersen thought with his eyes lowered.
"My brother has been interested in pharmacy since he was young, and he has always wanted to go to graduate school, but deep down, I don't want him to go there."
Chu Ersen understood something: "You want me to help you persuade him?"
"Not entirely. It's not a bad thing for a child to have ideals," Wei Shao said with a smile, "Besides, getting rid of the restrictions of blood rage is the wish of every female insect, and I am no exception."
The light in Chu Ersen's eyes dimmed: "This is difficult."
"If you say so, then there is really no hope," Wei Shao looked at him meaningfully, "Mr. Chu Ersen, have you ever thought about pursuing your dream in another place?"
Chu Ersen widened his eyes and subconsciously looked out the window: "How is this possible?"
"Why not?" Wei Shao tapped the steering wheel. "It's not just research institutes that have laboratories. Many pharmaceutical companies and scientific research companies have them. If you want, I can let you have your own laboratory."
Chu Ersen admitted that this was quite tempting to him, but although he was simple, he was not stupid.
It is illegal to conduct inhibitor research outside of research institutes.
and……
Chu Ersen's hand grasped the door handle, and his voice was tense: "The other day at the noodle shop, my encounter with Luo Fei was deliberately arranged by you, right? Your purpose was to get close to me and bring up this matter?"
If his ability to recognize people was better, he would have discovered that the so-called Luo Fei that day and the Wei Shao in front of him were actually the same person.
Wei Shao was not nervous even though he was exposed. He smiled and said, "It shows that your knowledge is worth my efforts, Teacher Chu Ersen."
Chu Ersen pursed his lips and did not respond.
Wei Shao took out a document from the storage box in front of the car and handed it to Chu Ersen.
"I'm not the only one doing this. Many nobles have also privately built laboratories to conduct related research. If you can do it, you will be a hero who saves all female insects."
Chu Ersen's fingers felt a little stiff as he flipped through the pages.
"And I promise that whether I succeed or not, as long as I am alive, I will ensure the safety of you and your child."
