Chapter 90
After driving for a long time, An Jing finally calmed down. He touched his lips, and the fear and surprise in his eyes were not concealed.
What does this mean? Bian Lu likes himself.
An Jing drove to the side of the road and subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette. He reached out and took out the teapot lighter that Bian Lu had given him.
He was stunned for a long time, neither happy nor depressed, but more like he was under pressure. An Jing subconsciously felt that Bian Lu must have his own purpose for doing this.
Thinking of this, An Jing directly called Bian Lu, who answered immediately. He said, "If you think I misunderstood, I'm sorry. I can apologize."
"..." An Jing pondered for two seconds, and finally replied: "What do you want from me?"
"Ah?" Bian Lu seemed not to understand.
An Jing explained, "I mean, you can repay my favor by working hard, without having to sell your body."
"An Jing." Bian Lu's tone sounded strange.
This strange emotion actually made An Jing's heart skip a beat. He closed his eyes, but found that he was actually expecting something, as if he hoped that Bian Lu would say something less rational.
"Teacher An, why do you keep provoking me?" Bian Lu spoke the first three words very slowly, and his accent sounded so sharp that it made An Jing's ears tremble.
"I..." An Jing said solemnly, "I owe you a job."
Bian Lu's voice was magnetic, and he smiled and said, "Like I said, I'm not angry. On the contrary, meeting you for this reason makes me feel like I've found the key to life."
"See you next time." An Jing hung up the phone with a beep.
What does that answer mean? Bian Lu wanted to ask him about his attitude again, but he felt that An Jing had already made it clear. Maybe their relationship would be different the next time they met.
As the sky darkened and the waves subsided, Bian Lu sighed inexplicably. He rubbed his hair irritably, feeling guilty and awkward for his inexplicable affection for An Jing. He kept thinking, did An Jing really like him? Why did he give such an answer as "see you next time"?
Was what he did today right? Bian Lu wondered.
The fact is, An Jing was also so irritable that he couldn't sleep that day. He even sat alone in his indoor swimming pool, soaking in the cold water and sighing tiredly.
"I don't know if someone like me can still find love..." An Jing muttered to himself, "I know that true love is a luxury. It's definitely not just sex or casual flirting."
Lu Chao, who had become quiet, crossed his legs and dangled in the air, saying, "It's truly rare for someone as scumbag as you to have such advanced insights."
"It's so strange. I can't figure out why he would do that." Before An Jing could finish his words, Lu Chao interrupted him and explained, "Since you've asked that, what else is there to be confused about? This kind of thing doesn't happen alone."
An Jing immediately felt his face burning, so he stood up, wrapped a towel around his body, and wiped his wet feet. He muttered, "There's nothing much to say. I have fluorescent disease. Anyway, it's impossible."
After he said that, he went straight to his bedroom.
Meanwhile, Bian Lu was lying flat on the mat he had prepared, his eyes empty and his expression melancholy. His mother, who had just finished washing up, grumbled, "Oh, your house is too small. It's going to be crowded with me living here. Okay, I'll go home after I finish this."
As she spoke, Bian's mother sat down on the bed, took out today's sales and counted them, revealing a happy smile that showed the fruits of her hard work.
"Mom, can you turn off the lights and go to sleep?" Bian Lu turned over, looking a little depressed. Although he was not directly rejected by An Jing, he still fell into a kind of inferiority complex of being a toad trying to eat swan meat.
"What's wrong with you?" Bian's mother asked, "You're so depressed as soon as you get back. Why are you not happy even though you've made some extra money?"
"Ah——" Bian Lu covered his head with a pillow. After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "I'm crazy. I actually... Ahhhh, this is so embarrassing. Why did I do this? And he is half my leader..."
"What's the matter?" Bian's mother reached out and shook his arm.
Bian Lu didn't answer directly, "Nothing." Then he wrapped himself in the small quilt and explained, "Go to sleep, Mom. I still have more than ten days to be busy. I can't accompany you. I should go to work later."
"Then what are you worried about? You're talking nonsense."
-
The next day, Bian Lu got up early and first helped his mother with the work at the agricultural cooperative. Then, he went straight to the community street office to start his work today.
It was a coincidence that he ran into Liu Li, the person his mother had insisted on introducing him to yesterday. Bian Lu subconsciously smiled politely and said, "Hello, Sister Li. Um, my mother didn't say anything to you yesterday, don't take it to heart."
Liu Li was awkward, not daring to look at him. She nodded timidly and said, "Your mother is quite welcoming. Did she tell you anything?"
When she said the last sentence, she glanced at Bian Lu. The implication made Bian Lu realize instantly that she was interested in him.
So Bian Lu immediately said: "He didn't say anything, just told me to work hard. I don't have any other ideas for the time being."
After saying that, he immediately went into the community office, returned to his office and started working hard. In fact, he didn't know what he was busy with. He just noticed that Liu Li was looking at him, so he pretended to be cold to her.
Bian Lu doesn't like Liu Li. It's hard to describe this feeling. To make an analogy, An Jing is a beautifully packaged philosophy book, while Liu Li is like an exercise book that can be found everywhere.
Obviously, Lawrence Bian would rather read books than do exercises.
Bian Lu thought that if he was with Liu Li, he would probably just have a wife and children and a warm bed, but he would spend the rest of his life repeating the life of his parents, which would be so suffocating.
Gay... Bian Lu curled his lips, it's a new thing, no wonder there are so many homosexuals nowadays.
He and Liu Li had no more words to say, each doing their own job, waiting until Director Wang and Secretary Zhang came in and exchanged a few polite words at the door.
Bian Lu was bored and listened to them. Director Wang said, "The top leaders are intentionally trying to ease the relationship between Lanzhou and Xiaguo. This agricultural cooperative is a signal. Otherwise, why would they use business opportunities to open up cross-strait exchanges and cooperation?"
Secretary Zhang: "Yes, I have new projects given by the director, including mountain hiking and ball games. In short, they are trying every possible way to connect our grassroots with the Xia government for team building. It seems that this Blue Continent will really be under the control of the Xia government from now on."
When Bian Lu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this what An Jing was busy with? How did it suddenly become a national policy and be promoted?
He clicked on the dialog box and was about to say a few words to An Jing, but then he remembered that he had just kissed him secretly yesterday and he hadn't taken the initiative to confront him yet, so he had to shut up again.
"It's not necessarily a dispute over territorial rights. I heard that someone at the Blue Continent Central Academy of Sciences has developed a drug to inhibit fluorescence disease. I think it's most likely a matter of selling technology," Director Wang replied.
"Can it really cure fluorescence?" Secretary Zhang laughed dryly and said, "We're rich! Who has such a talent? This is true wealth! I wouldn't believe it if they didn't award him a council medal."
As they talked, they went upstairs.
Hearing what they said, Bian Lu immediately went online to read the news, wanting to know who the genius scientist was. As a result, An Jing's text message came, and it was related to his questions.
An Jing: I'll send you a few documents. Please print them out so that the contents won't be seen by others.
An Jing: Be sure to print it out. I will not keep the original and my device will be formatted immediately.
They came to talk about work, and Bian Lu was so upset that he had no choice but to do it.
After printing it out, Bian Lu carefully read the contents of the document. It was the personal information of a scientist named Bai Tiao, which recorded in detail her birth date, her education background, and even her various work experiences.
One of the lines of words made Bian Lu's eyes widen - suspected of participating in the research and development of the "Fluorescent Ganoderma" plant, and made an indelible contribution to the biological attack carried out by Jiang State on Xia State.
"Chief Bian, what are you looking at?" Bian Lu was startled and quickly closed the document and turned to look at Chang Haojie who was talking to him.
Why are you everywhere? Bian Lu was annoyed, but said kindly: "Nothing, just printing some information."
Lawyer Bian put away the documents, returned to his desk, put them in a yellow leather bag, and then pretended to get down to work.
Little did he know that Chang Haojie sneered and pressed a button on the printer, causing it to spit out a few more sheets of information, which were exactly the same as the contents in Bian Lu's hand.
After a day of whiling away, after get off work, Bian Lu was about to go to the submarine dock to wait for his mother, but on the way he ran into An Jing who was traveling with someone. The two seemed to be very familiar with each other. Their behavior and words were not intimate, they just had a good relationship.
"Teacher An." Bian Lu greeted him calmly.
"You go first, this is my friend." An Jing greeted Chen Qiang, then walked straight towards Bian Lu and asked, "Where is the document I asked you to print today?"
Bian Lu handed it over. An Jing opened it, glanced at it, and replied, "Thank you."
Chen Qiang did as he was told and walked away, but he didn't go far. He just stood aside and watched the two of them.
"There's no way you don't have a printer in your office. Why are you coming to me for this?" Bian Lu found that as soon as he opened his mouth, it was as if he was forcing him to react.
An Jing groaned and said, "Since Dr. Bai doesn't know you, I hope what I'm doing will be kept confidential."
"You did it on purpose." Bian Lu didn't know where he got the courage from, he tapped his forehead with his fingertips with a smile.
When Shen Qiang, who was not far away, saw it, the cigarette in his mouth fell out.
An Jing felt sick. He blinked, then slapped Bian Lu's hand away and explained, "Yes, I did it on purpose. Tomorrow you'll all see on the news that Dr. Bai has developed a fluorescent disease inhibitor—I'm letting you know her other side, that's all."
"Do you have a grudge against her?" Bian Lu said, taking the information from him and looking through the text on it.
"It says here that she was originally a spy for the Jiang Kingdom and that Yingzhi was originally invented by her..." Bian Lu said seriously, "This is the evidence you produced. Moreover, since you said that the news of her invention of the fluorescence disease inhibitor will be announced tomorrow, you are speaking ill of someone when she is at the peak of her career?"
An Jing frowned and said, "I have no grudge against her. I just don't like people who play both sides. I certainly have other evidence besides this document."
"What? Tell me." Bian Lu looked at him with interest.
An Jing was about to answer, but then realized belatedly that he had been led astray by him, so he said, "I don't need to tell you. Anyway, my goal has been achieved."
After saying that, An Jing turned around and walked away, but was grabbed by the arm by the anxious Bian Lu. His expression was filled with panic but also a bit of youthful shyness, just like a young boy who was ignorant and just beginning to learn.
Bian Lu said, "Teacher An, could you at least give me a straightforward response to what happened yesterday?"
"Want to have sex? I have fluorescent disease and cannot have any sexual behavior." An Jing stared at Bian Lu with a scrutinizing look and answered him word by word.
"I don't mean that. I just want to." Bian Lu became hesitant and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
This was a level of unfamiliarity and clumsiness that An Jing had never seen before. Unlike all his previous ambiguous partners, Bian Lu was very serious and innocent, like a complete novice.
"What exactly do you want to say?" An Jing asked patiently.
Bian Lu finally managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat. He said with difficulty, "I want to be in love with you. I just want to be your boyfriend, that's all."
"..." An Jing felt his brain go numb at this moment, as if his heart was struck by something sincere. Then he became speechless and didn't know how to answer for a long time.
Bian Lu cleared his throat, stood in front of him and said, "An Jing, I don't need sex. I just want to talk to you more. I also know that you are married. Sorry, I don't mean to drive a wedge between you and your wife. Uh... you also said that your wife is useless."
An Jing's lips curled slightly when he saw his silly behavior.
"I mean, I don't need you to do anything, and I don't need you to give me anything... Let's just have a simple relationship and chat, okay?"
Bian Lu's eyes were sincere and full of flattery.
An Jing was once again burned by his gaze. He turned his face away and asked, "Do you want to be platonic with me?"
Bian Lu nodded. At this time, An Jing finally noticed that Chen Qiang had not left yet, and had been standing by the roadside, looking at the two of them as if they were monkeys.
He also covered his face with his hands, leaving only his fingertips visible.
"..." An Jing felt that he had to do something. At least, he couldn't embarrass Bian Lu at this moment.
So he leaned over and placed a kiss on Bian Lu's lips, as light as a feather, and said, "Okay."
