Chapter 119 Chapter 32 Li Zheng’s learning ability is indeed good...
Li Zheng's learning ability was indeed good. Several years ago, his teacher had publicly praised him more than once for his neat drafts and papers, and for previewing new lessons that hadn't been taught yet, encouraging everyone to learn from him. And several years later, his learning ability was once again confirmed.
Under the dim light, the bed was neither too big nor too small, the sheets were in a mess, the two people were sweating, their skin pressed tightly together.
Suddenly, one of them sat up and gently stroked the wound on the other person's shoulder with his fingertips.
"Will it hurt?"
He asked.
Li Zheng followed his gaze and saw many old injuries on his shoulders and arms, which were left after he was transferred to the front line.
Unlike the relatively stable rear, the front lines mostly face extremely vicious thugs. They are desperate criminals and naturally will not show any restraint when they attack. If you are not careful, they will leave some scars.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the wound on his ankle. Due to the surgery, some suture scars can still be seen after all these years.
He obviously saw it too.
He gently rubbed the raised scar, caressing the wound that was slightly different from the surrounding skin.
The man's movements were very slight, so slight that they were almost imperceptible. It was as if Li Zheng's old injuries were still oozing blood, and Li Zheng would feel pain if he moved a little harder.
"This wound was so long ago, it doesn't hurt anymore, and—"
Li Zheng's words got stuck in his throat. He was startled by Wei Sheng's sudden action of lowering his head and kissing his ankle.
In fact, a few days ago, before the window paper was broken, Li Zheng could also feel Wei Sheng's gaze, especially at night, when he walked around the room in slippers. He would stare at his ankle and ask him if it still hurt. He said it didn't hurt for a long time, so he didn't ask again.
Sometimes, he wouldn't say anything, but would just stare at his wound for a long time. At that time, Li Zheng thought this person was very strange.
Now…
"What are you doing? I haven't showered yet."
He was responded with even softer kisses, kissing those not-so-sightly wounds one by one.
For a moment, perhaps because of the angle or the reflection of the light, he seemed to see a hint of tears in his eyes.
"It must have been painful, right?"
He asked this.
It doesn't hurt now, but then... of course it hurt. His skin isn't made of steel, so how could it not hurt? Especially with the weight on his ankle, and no one around, he had to endure the pain and continue on his mission.
But it's all over.
He had long forgotten it.
Li Zheng didn't answer Wei Sheng's question. He cleared his throat and awkwardly changed the subject: "How about, why don't you take a shower first?"
"Wait till you're done washing before you go to sleep?"
He had no idea where he had thrown his phone. Li Zheng could only rely on his biological clock to guess that it was already late, probably around three or four o'clock.
He figured he would sleep until noon.
Li Zheng's peripheral vision slowly swept around the room: a certain ambiguous atmosphere was floating in the not-so-spacious bedroom, several used family planning products were lying in the trash can next to the bed, and both of them were covered in sweat.
"good."
After taking a shower and changing the bed sheets, Li Zheng finally found his cell phone which had fallen into the bedside table at noon.
He has been using this phone for several years. There is no problem with its functions, but the battery life is not very good. He has to remember to charge it regularly. At this moment, it has obviously turned off automatically because of lack of power.
He wanted to charge his phone as usual, but Wei Sheng pulled his hand out and looked at it from side to side with disgust.
"You should get a new phone," he said firmly. "Yours should have been discarded long ago. The edge of the screen is cracked. What if it explodes?"
Li Zheng hummed.
"Then it's settled." Wei Sheng conjured up a new phone case like a magic trick and handed it to Li Zheng like a treasure. "What do you think of this?"
From proposing to change the phone to taking out the new phone, it took less than a minute. Li Zheng immediately realized that Wei Sheng must have bought it long ago.
"Let me help you install the card."
After a while, Wei Sheng finished tinkering with it. He not only changed the SIM card to the new phone, but also transferred the information in the old phone.
"How is it, do you like it?"
The two of them had just experienced such an intimate thing, and Li Zheng was holding a brand new mobile phone. For some reason, he suddenly felt complicated.
Even this phone has become a bit heavy.
However, this subtle emotion was diluted a lot after seeing Wei Sheng's bright eyes.
He looks so happy.
The joy and excitement swelled to the brim, overflowing from his eyes, from his body, and from every strand of his hair.
Are you that happy?
Li Zheng didn't understand, but perhaps because he was infected by his emotions, he also felt his heart becoming lighter little by little.
After taking a shower, both of them were covered in damp steam and lay side by side, shoulders touching.
The lights are off, but I'm not sleepy yet.
Wei Sheng smiled and teased him, praising his good learning ability. Obviously, both of them had no experience, but he quickly found the trick.
In fact, it has nothing to do with tricks. Later, Li Zheng almost forgot what he had seen before. It was more of a natural instinct.
So Li Zheng naturally retorted, don't explain to him. Before this, he had thought that he might not be able to accept it, and he also thought that he might vomit, or he might not react. In the end, he found that the situation he imagined did not happen at all.
"Hahahaha, you're still like this."
In the darkness, the slight vibration caused by Wei Sheng's laughter was transmitted to Li Zheng's shoulder through his shoulder.
"I was just joking. Why are you talking to me so seriously? Do you know? Do you know? I have always admired you..."
"………Why?"
Li Zheng asked seriously.
"Well, because think about it, you live in a family like that, you're a child yourself, and you have to take care of two younger siblings. In such cold weather, you work so hard setting up a stall outside, earning your own tuition... But your personality hasn't become distorted. You're not cynical, you don't resent this or that. You just work hard to live..."
In the darkness, Li Zheng couldn't see Wei Sheng's expression, he only heard his voice softly: "So I always thought you were amazing, but in fact, you have become a very good person..."
“…”
Later, Li Zheng fell asleep unknowingly. When he woke up again, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Wei Sheng beside him was still asleep, sleeping with his eyes closed and breathing evenly. He was lying on his side, his hands on his chest, his feet on his legs, and his head resting on his shoulders.
A very intimate gesture.
Logically, Li Zheng should have felt uncomfortable, but perhaps because he had already done more intimate things, he didn't think it was a big deal.
The tortoiseshell kitten, who had been hungry all night, was meowing under the bed, anxiously trying to climb onto the bed. However, he had just been caught by the cleaner to have his claws trimmed last night, and he tried for a long time but couldn't get up, so he meowed even louder under the bed.
"Keep your voice down."
Li Zheng pried Wei Sheng's hands and feet apart, got up quietly, poured a full bowl of cat food into his empty bowl, and replaced it with fresh water.
After finishing everything, Li Zheng lay down again.
Almost as soon as he lay down, Wei Sheng, who was sleeping next to him, automatically stuck to him like a magnet.
Li Zheng struggled twice, but was too lazy to struggle again. He stretched out an arm and took the phone from the bedside table.
The password is still the previous password.
The new phone responded much faster than his previous one. He checked the weather forecast for the past few days and looked at the chat history in the work group for a while. He learned from it that Cui Yang, the former suspect in the Electricity Bureau community case, had died.
When he first saw the news, he almost wanted to get up immediately, thinking it was another homicide, but he soon saw more information and realized that it was indeed a natural death, which could be seen from every aspect of the body, including the fact that there were eyewitnesses.
Thinking of the last time he saw him, Li Zheng sighed softly, slowly relaxed his muscles, and looked through some other news.
Time slowly came to half past one.
Wei Sheng finally woke up, but his hands and feet were still hugging Li Zheng tightly like an octopus, even tighter than when he was asleep.
She tilted her head back and kissed him on the chin.
"What time is it?"
"One thirty-two."
"Oh." Wei Sheng still didn't move, his whole body sticking to him like a puddle of mud. "Are you hungry? Order takeout."
"I've called." Li Zheng opened the app and checked the driver's delivery route. "It's less than two kilometers away. It should be here in about ten minutes."
"oh…"
"Get up."
"oh."
"Why aren't you moving?"
"I don't want to move. I just want to lie here and hold you forever." He said, "Holding you like this forever, I feel so happy and warm."
Men's body temperature is generally higher. It would be very cold if two hot bodies were pressed tightly together. It was so hot last night that Li Zheng almost turned on the fan.
It wasn't until three minutes before the delivery arrived that the two of them got up, quickly put on their home clothes, and went to the gate of the community to get breakfast and lunch for two.
Li Zheng was clearing the table while Wei Sheng went to get the food. When he came back with it, the table was also cleared.
This time, Wei Sheng did not sit face to face like before, but sat side by side on the sofa where the two of them sat.
"Don't you think it's crowded?"
“It’s not crowded.”
The two sets of clothes she was wearing were bought in the supermarket before. Both are very simple styles. Because they are the same style but different colors, they look like couple outfits.
Wei Sheng was very satisfied.
Look at his clothes, then look at your own clothes.
While eating, Li Zheng talked to him about the follow-up of the previous Electric Power Bureau community case and the general process of their previous investigation.
"So the suspect was cleared of suspicion, wasn't he? Now he's dead again?"
"Um."
Li Zheng patiently explained the backgrounds of the deceased and the suspect, as well as the twisted relationship between the two. Fearing that he didn't understand, he also gave a very vivid example.
If you see two cats quarreling on the street, one stands still as a mountain, while the other arches its back and breathes heavily, constantly demonstrating. Guess which one of them is the most timid?
The answer is not to show an aggressive posture,
On the contrary, the one with the loudest voice is the most timid.
People are also like this, bluffing. Even if everyone around him thought Cui Yang had a bad temper and always bullied others during the visit, he was actually the most timid one.
Because he was timid and cowardly, he hid in the house and refused to go out. He knew that the deceased Zhuang would never hurt him, so he vented his emotions on him alone, because he knew in his heart that this person would tolerate him.
He was a small-time liar with no work experience and even no stable income. Now that the deceased had died, he naturally could not survive.
"Oh..." Wei Sheng took two mouthfuls of rice from the bowl and continued naturally, "Actually, you don't need to give me those examples. I understand that if you die one day, I will definitely not live anymore."
Li Zheng paused while picking up the food: "Don't talk about that."
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. By the way, where are we going this afternoon? Should we stay in the house?" He said with an attitude that he would do whatever Li Zheng said. "You can do whatever I say. I'll do whatever you say..."
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Li Zheng was busy with work and had very little free time, so his mind was blank at this moment and he couldn't think of anything else to do.
Wei Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then just lie down. Doing nothing is also a kind of thing."
"oh…"
That was the first time in Li Zheng's life that he had such an experience that was close to "playing hard". He didn't need to think about tuition fees like he did when he was a child, nor did he need to think about growing up and working. He just needed to think about nothing, lie down, eat, count, watch some popular variety shows and TV series, and do some intimate things with his young boyfriend at night.
In two days, he watched a lot of popular TV series and variety shows that he had never seen before, and played a lot of games that he had never played before.
On the morning of the third day, looking at the familiar ceiling above his head, Li Zheng even took the initiative to express for the first time that he wanted to go on a road trip to the surrounding cities.
"Okay, okay." Wei Sheng immediately sat up and cooperated to get up and wash up. "What should we bring? Let me plan the route!"
After all, I have to go back to the meeting after playing for three more days.
During those three days, Li Zheng and Wei Sheng traveled around, visited crowded tourist attractions, took the same old tourist check-in photos, went to those niche fly restaurants, and even slept in a car on the side of the road.
The further away from Qingtan, the greater the difference in customs and accents. At Wei Sheng's instigation, Li Zheng tried many different local delicacies.
In the past, he only thought that eating was to fill his stomach and was an act to maintain life, so he was not picky about food. After eating more delicious food, he gradually realized that tasting delicious food is also an act that can make people happy.
It’s hard to imagine that he is already thirty years old and has only just understood the truth that even a child understands.
This was a very boring trip for others, but it was indeed a fresh experience for Li Zheng.
When the two of them were eating, Wei Sheng would hold his cheeks and watch him chew with interest.
It's obviously a very boring picture.
He could actually watch for a long time.
The two of them went hiking. Li Zheng walked in front, panting heavily, while Wei Sheng behind him took out his mobile phone and took pictures of him slowly, asking him to look back at the camera from time to time.
fishing…
boating…
camping…
After returning home, Li Zheng's new phone was filled with photos taken along the way, including scenery, photos of small animals encountered along the way, photos of delicious food eaten, and selfies of the two of them.
——Of course, Li Zheng himself is not keen on taking selfies, and he never even thought about taking selfies. Most of the time, he was dragged into taking selfies by Wei Sheng.
I took a lot of photos without realizing it. From the initial stiffness to the relaxation and naturalness later on.
He even posted on WeChat Moments for the first time in a long time.
Two apprentices under his former colleague, as well as family members related to the case who had added him before, also gave him thumbs up.
The comment section is also very lively.
Soon the day for the meeting arrived.
