Chapter 120 Chapter 33 The longest meeting Li Zheng had ever held...
The longest meeting Li Zheng had ever held was three hours. He had always thought that was the limit, but he didn't expect that this time he would break the limit again.
A whole day.
There was only time for lunch and a few breaks of varying lengths. The rest of the time was filled with meetings, with some leaders that Li Zheng was not very familiar with speaking in high-sounding terms.
It's clearly not even the end of the year yet, but people are already planning for the coming year, talking about how hard they're working, and their words are filled with various warnings, both explicit and implicit. At this critical moment, some people still need to restrain themselves...
Li Zheng was lost in thought several times.
However, at the same meeting, his vacation ended and he began to work normally as before, but he was no longer dealing with the serial case. He was assigned to an economic crime case.
At the end of the meeting, the police officers responsible for taking photos and recording the minutes hurried back to their offices. The others gradually stood up, but Li Zheng was the last to leave the meeting room, a bit slow.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t been to work for too long.
He was actually a little dazed sitting in his seat.
Only then did Li Zheng begin to understand why the newly recruited police officers always looked dazed and listless after returning from vacation.
He didn't understand before, but now he understands everything after playing for a few days and coming back to work.
The inspection team left Cheongdam after the meeting. The mysterious serial case, which had been discussed time and again, gradually died down after the official police notice was issued and the murderer signed a confession and accepted punishment.
Li Zheng's office remained unchanged. On the table was a water cup, a work logbook, and even the pens in his pen holder. Everything was exactly the same as when he left.
Tian Chen still often comes to him with some basic questions, but perhaps because he hasn't had a master around for some time, he has grown a lot compared to before.
Lou Ruoping no longer needs Li Zheng and can handle cases independently, which makes it clear to those who think she can't hold on.
Li Zheng did not slack off after returning to work. His working hours were still the same as before. He went to and from get off work on time and worked attentively during working hours. Even when dealing with trivial cases, he would not be perfunctory and would carefully record every doubt.
Everything seemed to have returned to its previous state, but only Li Zheng himself knew that many things were still different from before.
For example, when he was at work, he would always receive messages from an account, and when they were not busy, the two of them could chat back and forth for a few words; for example, every time he got off work, he was no longer alone when he went home, there was a smiling person by his side; for example, when he was eating, he was no longer alone, the two of them could discuss the contents of dinner and breakfast, eat together, chat about random things while eating, and tease the kitten circling around his feet from time to time.
When he went to bed at night, there was a warm body beside him. He always clung to him, always hugged him, and when he realized that he had no objection, he would kiss him even more.
Li Zheng had never been in such a passionate relationship even when he was a teenager, but he actually felt pretty good about himself and was not as uncomfortable as he had imagined.
Sometimes Mingyao would call and say that her recovery was getting better and better, and the doctors said the situation was very good. If she continued in this state, she might be able to stand up earlier than previously expected.
Sometimes the adoptive mother would call. She might know a little about Mingyu, but not much. She might even think he had committed some minor crime and would ask Li Zheng for help, either overtly or covertly, but Li Zheng would almost always change the subject very quickly.
With the arrival of the kitten, there seemed to be fewer and fewer traces of mice in the yard. Sometimes when the kitten was basking in the sun outside, other neighbors would feed him.
The people in the yard became more and more familiar with Wei Sheng. Perhaps some of the young people had already noticed the unusual relationship between the two, but they still greeted each other accordingly every time they met.
I don’t know if they said anything in private, but at least those words were not heard by Li Zheng and did not reach his ears, so let’s just pretend they didn’t exist.
The days passed one after another.
Until that day came, Li Zheng still hadn't reacted, or rather, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. In the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed.
After get off work that day, the two of them crossed a commercial street, and Li Zheng noticed that the stickers of skulls, pumpkins, etc. that were originally pasted on the windows of businesses on both sides had been cleared off.
Is Halloween already over?
Time flies.
It's November already?
The two of them didn't cook that day, and didn't even drive. They went to a restaurant to buy some ready-made meals, and then walked towards the community along the familiar road.
Time seemed to pass very slowly.
The old residential complex where he rented was not on the main road. To walk from the road to the gate, one had to walk another section of road. This section of road actually had street lights installed, but they were not properly maintained, so they were sometimes on and sometimes off, and would occasionally flicker.
Just the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday, the two of them passed by here and one of the street lights suddenly broke down. Wei Sheng suddenly came over and kissed him on the cheek.
The touch on the cheek is warm.
Li Zheng saw from the corner of his eye that he was extremely happy. He said he was just bored, but he could still feel the wet touch on his skin.
I suddenly thought of it again when I passed by today.
The streetlight was still working, so the two of them walked over. Although they didn't kiss, Li Zheng still felt the warmth.
The security guard was still playing old songs on the radio. When he saw them come in, he greeted them with a smile as usual.
They walked into the unit and stopped at the door. Li Zheng took out the key and turned the doorknob. The old door malfunctioned again and he took some effort to open it.
"Well, how long will it take?"
He asked the question without any beginning or end, but both the person asking and the person listening knew exactly what he was asking.
"Maybe after tonight." Wei Sheng added, "Because this is my first time going back to the game, so I don't know what will happen..."
"oh."
The door was opened with some fault.
The light was turned on, and the old and small place was still visible, but it was obviously more crowded than before. After all, there were many more things and another person.
Li Zheng put down the key.
Wei Sheng walked behind him, hugged him from behind, rested his chin on his shoulder, and the sound of his breathing sprayed on his ears.
"are you sure?"
Li Zheng did not answer.
Sometimes silence is also an answer.
They were still sitting in front of the coffee table. They had eaten fast food when they were in Qingshui River Park before, but they didn't expect that they would eat fast food again this time.
The meat dish was braised meat with beans and eggplant. Li Zheng's luck seemed to have always been bad, and there were not many pieces of meat in the portion he got. Wei Sheng, who was standing next to him, silently picked out pieces of meat from his bowl and gave them to him.
It was a very, very quiet meal.
After dinner, it was another silent wash.
After that, they kissed, hugged, and held each other intimately, almost without saying a word. It happened naturally and familiarly to both of them.
When they were in each other's arms, he realized that they were both trembling. This time the kiss was not as passionate as before. Neither of them opened their mouths. The kiss was even a little immature, like a primary school student trying to kiss for the first time.
Gently rub your lips against each other's lips.
Rubbing and licking.
This kiss was exceptionally long.
"I have to be honest with you. Actually, there have been many times before where I was just..."
At first, I was only curious and suspicious about him due to my profession. I even doubted his purpose and wondered if he was the murderer.
Wei Sheng has always said that he likes him. He even started to treat him well and get close to him when he was not yet "Wei Sheng". His feelings are naturally beyond doubt.
What about Li Zheng himself?
In fact, Li Zheng himself didn't know whether he really liked him or loved him, but he was indeed moved by him and gradually got used to his existence...
Although the two had been together for some time, he was always preoccupied with other things, leaving him with no energy to think about their affairs. His mind was filled with the case, the murderer, and the victim...
He didn't have time to think about anything else. He always felt that he would talk about it when he had the chance, after he was done with his work, but before he knew it, he had no time left.
After realizing this, those emotions that had been deliberately ignored began to grow little by little in my heart, fermenting and expanding, quickly filling my entire heart.
At that moment, Li Zheng had so much to say that it overflowed from his mind. He had never been so incoherent before.
He wanted to say that he was a very boring person. Apart from work, nothing could arouse his interest. He had always thought that he would end up living alone, but when he was with him, he suddenly felt that this was a good thing.
He wanted to say that he was actually panicked, even though he didn't show his calmness. He wanted to say that he had never liked a boy, but since the object was him, he could accept it.
He wanted to say that he had noticed something was amiss with Mr. Wei Sheng a long time ago. He'd wake up in the middle of the night and see him sitting by his bed, staring at him with eyes that were both strange and familiar. Although this happened less frequently later on, he still felt like he'd neglected him a lot...
He also wanted to say...
"I don't think I've told you yet..."
"Don't say anymore." Wei Sheng interrupted him, "That's not important, not important at all."
He kissed Li Zheng softly and intensely, their breathing blending together.
At that moment, Wei Sheng seemed to be split in two: one half was "Wei Lele" and the other half was "Wei Sheng." Even before the bug merged, he had been able to recall fragmented memories, and after the fusion, they became even more intense.
Sometimes he often couldn't tell who he was and often fell into long periods of confusion.
He went from a fierce struggle, to being shocked when the memories were completely merged, to trying to drive him away, to slowly accepting that it was him, and then to very naturally treating those memories as experiences from his previous life.
Of course, he never told Li Zheng a single word about the entire process of how he struggled, how he resisted, and how he slowly accepted it bit by bit.
But surely the attentive Officer Li must have noticed? Later, Wei Sheng would often say things naturally like, "Remember when we were in school..." or "Remember when you used to..." He would sometimes pause for a moment before continuing naturally.
However, both "Wei Lele" and Wei Sheng were filled with strong feelings of wanting to get close to the person in front of them. One was more aggressive because he couldn't wait to kiss her, while the other was more gentle because of pity.
It seems particularly contradictory. The posture and movements are so fierce, but when it really falls on the lips, the movements become gentle and cautious.
Unlike him, Li Zheng always maintained a similar strength in his response, like a pool of warm water.
It seems very peaceful.
But through that layer of flesh, Wei Sheng could clearly hear Li Zheng's pounding heartbeat, as well as his soft, "...I don't think I've told you yet, I like you, let's be together."
That simple sentence was like turning on a switch on a high-voltage cable. Electricity instantly rushed to his nerve endings, and his brain was crackling with fireworks.
He didn't realize he was crying, and when he realized it, the tears were sliding down his cheeks and mixing with the long and sticky kiss.
Salty.
I can't even tell who shed these tears.
In the end, Li Zheng found that he could not see the man's face clearly. His facial features began to become blurred, and his voice became gradually unclear. Later, he even seemed to be unable to feel himself, and his hearing, vision and touch disappeared bit by bit.
Ah, is it over?
