Chapter 52
Su Qiang asked, "Who is Xiao Zhou?"
Su Yu glanced at Shen Tingzhou with resentment, "Xiao Zhou is Dr. Shen's favorite."
Although it had nothing to do with Su Jiang, he immediately became angry, "Why is he the favorite?"
Hearing that he was recognized as Shen Tingzhou's favorite, Zhou Zitan's mouth curled up into a fishhook, and his fighting power increased by another level, "Why can't I be the favorite!"
Su Qiang said forcefully, "I just won't allow it."
Zhou Zitan sneered, "Who are you?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Shen Tingzhou spoke up again to control the situation, and glanced at them one by one, "Okay, stop arguing!"
Su Yu touched her belly and said hesitantly, "Looking at Xiao Zhou saying 'you guys' and looking at us saying 'stop arguing', I knew that Doctor Shen favored Xiao Zhou."
Shen Tingzhou: You will find jealousy for yourself.
Su Yu provoked her like this, and Su Jiang was also very angry, "Why do you favor Xiao Zhou?"
Zhou Zitan stepped in front of Shen Tingzhou and asked, "Who allowed you to yell at Dr. Shen?"
Su Qian angrily asked, "Who allowed you to touch Dr. Shen?"
Zhou Zitan looked proud, "I am Dr. Shen's favorite."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Seeing Su Jiang roll up his sleeves and get ready to fight, Shen Tingzhou's eyelids twitched, and he quickly patted Zhou Zitan on the shoulder, "Calm down."
Su Yu bit her lip, her eyes red, and she looked heartbroken, "You really like Xiao Zhou the most. You patted his shoulder and not me."
Zhou Zitan's lips kept curling up, and he gave Shen Tingzhou a look of joy and satisfaction, feeling that his tail was about to pop out in the next moment.
Shen Tingzhou closed his eyes.
What is going on? Why are you arguing over him?
Facing the "enemy", Zhou Zitan was arrogant and said with his chin held high, "Of course, I have known Doctor Shen for a long time."
Su Yu said coldly, "We've known each other for so long, and yet you're still hanging out with the same people who bullied Dr. Shen."
Anyone who bullied Dr. Shen?
Who, who bullied Dr. Shen?
Su Yu raised his hand and pointed, "It's him!"
Zhou Zi followed his hand and looked over. Yu Jurong was leaning against the stairs with a lazy smile on his handsome face, looking like he was standing aside and enjoying the show.
Seeing Su Yu pointing at him, Yu Jurong extended his hand towards Zhou Zitan.
Zhou Zi leaned his head and looked at Shen Tingzhou seriously, "Doctor Shen, has he ever bullied you?"
Shen Tingzhou, who didn't want the battle to escalate, said decisively: "No."
Su Yu immediately took over the conversation, "Did you hear that? Doctor Shen said yes!"
Shen Tingzhou: "...I said no."
Su Yu said to Zhou Zitan, "Doctor Shen has said twice that it's true, what are you still doing standing here? Go beat up Yu Jurong!"
The way he spoke made Zhou Zitan confused for a moment.
Shen Tingzhou no longer gave Su Yu the opportunity to stir up trouble, and raised his voice, "All those who listen to me should sit on the sofa!"
Zhou Zitan, who thought he was obedient, was the first to respond to the call and quickly found a sofa to sit on.
Su Yu was not willing to be outdone and also sat on the sofa.
Su Jiang didn't understand, but since everyone was sitting on the sofa, he sat down too.
The three of them sat side by side, but none of them was willing to give in, and they started arguing.
"Don't touch me."
"Don't you touch me."
"You all shut up."
"You should shut up."
"I won't shut up."
Shen Tingzhou was so confused that he looked at Yu Mingyan helplessly, "Mr. Yu, Ms. Yu is still pregnant..."
Yu Mingyan smiled, waved to Su Yu, and took the reluctant pregnant husband away.
Yu Jurong also waved to Zhou Zitan and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Zitan rolled his eyes and looked like "Who are you?", and was finally taken away by Shen Tingzhou.
Su Jiang, who was left alone, frowned and looked around. Why was there no one to pick him up?
After sitting alone for a while, Su Jiang left angrily.
-
Shen Tingzhou drove Zhou Zitan home.
On the road, the evil dog Xiao Zhou was still feeling happy. Shen Tingzhou glanced at him and asked, "Why are you with Yu Jurong?"
Zhou Zitan's expression froze and he stammered, unable to speak.
Seeing him like this, Shen Tingzhou became even more suspicious and guessed, "Could it be related to your brother?"
Zhou Zitan immediately shook his head, but his shaking looked more like a nod, and his guilty conscience was so obvious that even Shen Tingzhou was helpless.
Zhou Zitan seldom tells lies and is always open and aboveboard in his evil deeds.
"So..." Shen Tingzhou stopped at the traffic light, looked at him, and said bluntly: "Did Yu Jurong give you all those ideas before?"
Zhou Zitan stopped shaking his head and said nothing.
That's it!
Shen Tingzhou sighed, "Then why did he bring you to Su Yu's house today?"
Zhou Zitan whispered, "I don't know either. He said he had other ideas that could help my brother forget about Jiang Ji, but he had to go somewhere first, so I followed him."
Shen Tingzhou felt something was a bit strange, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Shen Tingzhou comes to Su Yu's place every Wednesday. Yu Jurong should know this, after all, they have met him several times.
If he brought Zhou Zitan here today to meet Shen Tingzhou by chance, what was his purpose?
Do you like watching plays like Su Yu?
Looking at Zhou Zitan, who lowered his head and looked guilty, Shen Tingzhou patiently guided him: "You'd better not get involved with him, and don't listen to his ideas."
Zhou Zitan looked confused, "But my brother..."
Shen Tingzhou was very disappointed that his plan failed. "Yu Jurong's ideas are all bad, none of them are practical!"
Zhou Zi moved his mouth, and finally lowered his head, "Okay."
-
Shen Tingzhou sent Zhou Zitan back and went straight back to his home.
When Shen Tingzhou got off the elevator and saw the tall figure at the door of his house, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Xu Xun turned his head. He stood in the corridor against the light. His outline was blurred, and the eyes looking at him were half covered with arc light, which looked sparkling.
Shen Tingzhou said in a relaxed tone, "Why are you here?"
Xu Xun said the same thing, "The cat at home said it missed you."
Shen Tingzhou looked at the paper box in his hand and thought there was a silver gradient inside.
"Leave them at home. Let me come over to see you." Xu Xun handed the things in his hand to Shen Tingzhou. "This is a cake."
Shen Tingzhou took the cake, then entered the password in front of Xu Xun and opened the door.
Walking into the hallway, Shen Tingzhou had just put down the cake when he heard Xu Xun behind him say, "I miss you, too."
Shen Tingzhou turned around slowly, and Xu Xun stared at him with an expression like a cat asking for dried fish.
Xu Xun walked forward and hugged Shen Tingzhou, rubbing his head against the back of Shen Tingzhou's neck. Shen Tingzhou's heart suddenly felt soft.
"Then..." Shen Tingzhou curled his fingers as if they were itchy, "Stay for dinner."
Xu Xun raised his head and kissed Shen Tingzhou's lips, his voice unclear, "Come back earlier in the future. I've been waiting for you for half an hour."
Shen Tingzhou's face was a little hot, "You can call me next time, or I will come to find you..."
Xu Xun bit Shen Tingzhou lightly and said, "Come back soon!"
Seeing that he was vaguely showing signs of becoming a chaste man, Shen Tingzhou wanted to laugh, "I see."
Xu Xun then licked the place where he bit Shen Tingzhou. Shen Tingzhou looked down a little embarrassedly, "...There seems to be nothing to eat in the refrigerator."
Xu Xun said, "Eat the cake first, and then go buy some."
Xu Xun bought a matcha flavored cake, which had a dense and mellow texture, the same tea flavor that Shen Tingzhou liked.
While eating, the housekeeper called Shen Tingzhou and asked if Xu Xun had visited him.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but glance at Xu Xun, then said to the housekeeper, "He's here, do you want him to answer the phone?"
The housekeeper said calmly: "No need, as long as he didn't lose it."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
After hanging up the phone, Shen Tingzhou asked Xu Xun, "Didn't you tell the housekeeper when you came out?"
Xu Xun cut the cake with his eyes downcast. "What is there to say?"
Shen Tingzhou laughed, "Fighting again?"
Xu Xun denied: "No."
Shen Tingzhou didn't quite believe it, "Then why did you come out alone?"
Xu Xun didn't say anything, and Shen Tingzhou suddenly thought of a possibility, "Could it be that he is afraid of the housekeeper..."
Xu Xun raised his hand to cover Shen Tingzhou's mouth and emphasized: "I'm not afraid of anything."
Shen Tingzhou smiled.
It seems that he was indeed afraid of being criticized by the housekeeper, so he came here on his own and didn't want Shen Tingzhou to come to him.
Xu Xun's face collapsed and he turned his head to the side.
This negative look made Shen Tingzhou want to support him, "Next time he says something bad about you, I will definitely stand by your side."
The first thing to do is to hold back your laughter when the housekeeper complains.
Xu Xun turned his head and fed Shen Tingzhou a big bite of matcha cake, "Let him talk. It's enough for me to know in my heart that you are on my side."
Oh my God, how can there be such considerate people in the world!
Shen Tingzhou's heart softened, and he said firmly: "Don't worry, I will always stand by your side!"
Xu Xun fed Shen Tingzhou another sip of matcha, "Well, I believe you."
After eating the cake, Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun went out to the supermarket to buy things.
There is a large supermarket next to the Shentingzhou community. The two of them walked out and walked back, with each holding one side of the shopping bag's handle to share the weight.
A fiery red supercar passed by and soon moved back.
Ling Yun rolled down the car window, looked at the two people walking intimately, frowned, and pressed the horn.
Shen Tingzhou turned his head and looked over. "Ms. Ling?"
Ling Yun's eyes swept over Xu Xun, and finally landed on Shen Tingzhou, "Don't you like Qin Shiyao and pursue Qin Shiyao for many years? Why are you on the road with a man... unclear?"
She almost pointed at Shen Tingzhou's forehead and asked, "Are you bent or straight?"
Shen Tingzhou immediately felt the fiery gaze from Xu Xun, and Ling Yun on the other side was also staring at him with a questioning look.
Shen Tingzhou could neither betray his friend by saying that he was not Qin Shiyao's suitor, nor could he admit in front of Xu Xun that he "liked" other girls.
His ambiguous look made Ling Yun very angry, "Dr. Shen, you look handsome and reliable, but I didn't expect you to be such a scumbag!"
Shen Tingzhou: ...Uh, thank you for the compliment.
Ling Yun said angrily: "I will tell Qin Shiyao about what happened today, just wait."
說完一腳油門踩到底。
沈亭州一看壞菜了，追了幾步大喊，“你超速了，前面是幼兒園！”
淩韻：……
見淩韻減了速，沈亭州放下心，回頭就見許殉幽幽看着他。
許殉什麽都沒說，一個人默默提上全部的購物袋朝前走。
沈亭州追過去解釋，“我跟秦詩瑤沒什麽。”
許殉點點頭，表示自己知道。
沈亭州去提購物袋，許殉說，“我來就好，不要累着你了，畢竟你這麽忙。”
沈亭州看了一眼許殉，對方面色平和，似乎真的是怕沈亭州累到。
往前走了幾步，沈亭州看到一個小商店，裏面有賣超大的鑽石戒指糖，他跟許殉說了一聲，進去買了一顆出來。
沈亭州把糖遞給許殉，“這個送給你。”
許殉驕矜地把手伸了過來，手背朝上，這明顯不是拿糖的手勢。
沈亭州反應了兩秒，拿着戒指糖套進了許殉修長的手指，對方的嘴角這才從緊抿狀态變成微彎。
沈亭州再去拿購物袋的時候，許殉也沒再說累不累的話題。
看着心情明顯好起來的許殉，沈亭州跟着放松，心道：許貞子雖然嬌氣，但實在好哄。
-
晚上許殉離開後，沈亭州回卧室發現門把上挂着一個鑽石戒指糖。
這不是他給許殉買的那個，顏色不一樣。
沈亭州笑了一下，取下了戒指糖，然後發現衛生間的洗漱臺上，又放着一枚。
意識不對，沈亭州開始在家裏全面搜索，果然在碗櫥、冰箱、咖啡機、書桌上、枕頭底下都發現了鑽石戒指糖。
沈亭州把能找到的戒指糖放到一起，拍了一個照片給許殉。
許殉回：【還有呢。】
沈亭州：……
沈亭州把許殉的備注改為戒指糖批發商，然後又去翻家裏的角落，果然翻出好幾個。
沈亭州找了一個玻璃罐，把五顏六色的戒指糖放了進去。
手機突然響了，沈亭州拿起來看到是秦詩瑤打過來的，嘆了一口氣，認命地接通。
秦詩瑤沒有寒暄，直奔主題，“淩韻說看見你跟一個男人在大街上拉拉扯扯，暧昧不清，你終于跟那個綠茶在一起了？”
什麽叫綠茶，說得好難聽。
沈亭州為許殉澄清，“他不是綠茶。”
秦詩瑤拉長調子，“是是是，這哪裏是綠茶，分明是你善解人意、溫柔體貼的好弟弟。”
沈亭州：……
雖然但是，他确實覺得許殉善解人意。
秦詩瑤：“放心，我已經跟淩韻解釋清楚了，你下次可以光明正大介紹你溫柔體貼的好弟弟，別讓人家綠茶弟弟覺得自己是見不得人的正夫，委屈的嘤嘤嘤。”
沈亭州：“……沒有嘤嘤嘤。”
秦詩瑤看熱鬧不嫌事大，“連嘤嘤嘤都不會，茶功還沒修煉到家。”
沈亭州怎麽感覺嘤嘤嘤的綠茶，才是最低級的綠茶，高級的綠茶往往都……
腦子裏莫名冒出許殉說“不要累到你”的畫面。
沈亭州搖了搖頭，趕緊甩走亂七八糟的想法，“感謝你的澄清，還有事嗎？”
秦詩瑤：“好啦好啦，不打擾你的夜生活。”
沈亭州的夜生活就是刷刷視頻，然後上床睡覺，如此樸實無華，頂多就是被花區震驚到。
虞居容又發布了新視頻，沈亭州本來是不想看的，但他的标題居然是《醫生》。
看到這個名字，沈亭州陡然一驚，再聯想到今天虞居容的所作所為，他點開視頻，想從虞居容的作品裏看一看他想幹什麽。
視頻第一幕就是謀殺案，一個穿着白大褂的醫生躺在地上，滿身是血。
看完整個視頻之後，沈亭州才發現醫生不是主角，單單純純就是一個死者。
謀殺醫生的兇手跟偵探鬥智鬥勇，主要是鬥勇，鬥着鬥着就鬥到了床上。
偵探把醫生當成畢生摯友，看見慘死在家裏的醫生，發誓要為醫生報仇，但被狡猾的兇手玩弄在鼓掌間，還拖上了床。
沈亭州看了兩遍，不知道是不是他多想了，感覺這個片子好像是在映射什麽，人物關系有種說不出來的熟悉感。
該不會拍的是他、周子探，還有虞居容自己吧？
這個虞居容很古怪、非常之古怪。
沈亭州退出了視頻，習慣性逛了逛那個經常生産八卦的板塊。
不出意外，今天的帖子又是爆炸的信息量，讓沈亭州都恍惚起來。
【好煩說話不算話的男人！當初說服我去見那對夫夫，玩什麽七天交換，我同意了，現在才第五天，攔着我幹什麽，人家還在樓下等着我呢！】
【呵呵，行，你可真行！跟我在一起，是因為你好兄弟喜歡我，而你愛你好兄弟。】
【哎，今天我終于分清了男朋友跟他哥哥。】
最後一條帖子，在衆多炸裂裏顯得那麽清新脫俗。
其他的帖子沈亭州都沒勇氣點開，這條帖子因為見過真人，他懷着好奇心打開了。
裏面回帖畫風比較和諧，都是恭喜樓主臉盲症有所減輕。
沈亭州對臉盲症只有基本的了解，知道它主要是通過遺傳，目前沒有任何治療手段。
樓主症狀應該是比較輕微的，或者花區特殊，所以病症有所改善？
沈亭州本着醫學精神往下翻了翻，找到了樓主的回帖。
【沒有減輕，他倆太像了，我真認不出來，我是通過其他手段分辨的。】
沈亭州嘆了一口氣，看來花區這種特殊體質也拿這種遺傳病沒辦法。
【他跟我打賭，如果在化妝舞會上認出他，一年以內，無論我提什麽要求他都得答應，為了贏我就使了一個詐，往他肩上灑了一點特殊的化學粉末。】
樓主說到這裏，回複的帖子并不多，沈亭州倒是看得津津有味。
感覺是一對很可愛的小情侶呢。
【他跟他哥穿着吸血鬼的衣服，還都沒有戴眼鏡，但我還是靠着粉末認出來了。怕他懷疑我，我就假裝認錯人，一直跟着他哥哥。】
【後來，會場的燈突然滅了，我正吓一跳的時候，他哥突然把我摁到牆上，然後親了我。】
這急轉直下的劇情，讓沈亭州大腦空白兩秒鐘。
花區的人倒是興奮了。
【然後呢？】
【論壇什麽葷菜我沒吃過？但就愛這口酸甜的，樓主小可愛快說。】
【那些純妖豔，上趕着的男人沒意思，還是這種好，一開始沒感覺，最後真香受不了了。】
【樓上+1，感覺大伯哥挺有意思，我投大伯哥一票。】
沈亭州還在石化中：他的甜蜜小情侶，他那麽大的甜蜜小情侶呢！
樓裏熱鬧起來，樓主很快出來回複。
【當時吓壞了，根本反應不過來。他平時被我親錯了，看着挺尴尬的，一直在避開我，我也不知道他為什麽突然親我。】
【後來燈就亮了，他拽着我進了舞池，讓我閉上眼睛數到十。等我數完我睜開眼睛，我男朋友回來了，那天晚上我就再也沒看見他，直到今天也沒有再見到。】
樓主說完，站大伯哥的人居然多了起來。
有一個叫“蟑螂爬滿你家”的ID尤為激動，發了十幾條要樓主選大伯哥。
【一定要選大伯哥，弟弟不是東西，哥哥好，聽我的話準沒錯！】
沈亭州不知道大伯哥為什麽人氣這麽高，皺眉一目十行地看着回複。
手機突然響了，是周子探打過來的。
沈亭州翻看着帖子，順手接通了電話，周子探驚懼的聲音灌進沈亭州的耳朵。
“沈醫生，我哥又不見了。”
“什麽？”沈亭州一下子坐起來，把平板放到了一旁，“什麽時候的事？”
“差不多十分鐘了，我找了整個別墅都沒有見到他，他……咦。”周子探走到落地窗前，看到後院蹲着一個人，“那好像是我哥。”
沈亭州：“？”
周子探快步走出去，确定那是賀延庭後，跟沈亭州報喜，“是我哥，是我哥，他在後院挖東西。”
沈亭州松了一口氣，“在挖什麽？”
電話那邊傳來周子探的詢問聲，沈亭州隐約聽見賀延庭好像說什麽墓地，過了沒一會兒周子探回答他，激動的聲音滿含感動。
“沈醫生，我哥說他在給我挖墓地，他居然要把我葬在賀家的後花園，我怎麽能有這樣的榮幸？”
沈亭州靜默。
這個世界怎麽了，感覺他一點也看不懂。
沈亭州擠出一個笑容，“你哥沒事就好，很晚了，早點睡。”
周子探乖巧點頭，“嗯嗯。”
挂了電話，沈亭州退出花區論壇，靜靜地走進卧室躺到床上。
晚安，這個我看不懂的世界。
-
今年管家的生日趕在聖誕節這天，還有兩天就要聖誕了，沈亭州去商場給他挑禮物。
去年沈亭州過生日時，管家送了他一份厚禮。
沈亭州帶着自己“龐大”的預算，直奔四樓的手表專賣店，他早看中了一款複古懷表，感覺跟管家的氣質很搭。
從電梯下來，沈亭州看到兩個熟悉的身影——
是蘇薔跟那個臉盲的男孩。
Watching these two people walking together, Shen Tingzhou had a feeling that the world was a circle, and everyone around them was someone he knew.
Su Qian saw Shen Tingzhou and waved her hand subconsciously, then she remembered something and pouted again.
The face-blind boy glanced at Shen Tingzhou and asked Su Jiang in a low voice, "Do you know him?"
Su Qiang deliberately said loudly, "A man who likes Xiao Zhou the most."
The face-blind boy was confused, "Who is Xiao Zhou?"
Shen Tingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He walked over and asked a question that hit Su Jiang's soul, "Even if I like Xiao Zhou the most, why are you angry?"
Su Rong was stunned. Yes, why was he so angry?
It seemed that because Su Yu was very angry yesterday, he was influenced by the other party and became angry as well.
But in fact, he and Dr. Shen had only met four times, including today, and the other party had helped him.
Su Jiang was no longer angry and greeted him warmly, "Doctor Shen, why are you here?"
Shen Tingzhou was not surprised at how quickly he changed his expression. After all, Su Yu was better at changing his expression than him. He smiled and said, "I came to buy a gift for my friend."
Su Jiang was very generous. She took out a black card from the mall and gave it to Shen Tingzhou. "If you spend over 500,000, you can get a 50,000 discount with this card."
Although poor Xiao Shen brought enough money, it was not enough to spend 500,000 yuan.
Just as Shen Tingzhou was about to decline, the face-blind boy suddenly spoke up, "Ah, my boyfriend is here."
Shen Tingzhou followed the boy's gaze and saw a tall young man standing next to the escalator on the second floor.
The boy said to Su Jiang, "I'll go and take a look."
Su Rong glanced at the young man on the second floor and said, "That's his brother, not him."
Shen Tingzhou understood what this meant immediately and looked at the boy. He had already walked around to the escalator on the opposite side and was about to go down. Su Rong had no intention of calling him.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you tell your friend?"
Su Jiang lay on the circular transparent glass, her eyes flashing with the familiar light of Shen Tingzhou, "I am a member of the big uncle's party, I won't tell him."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Could it be that Su Jiang is the one whose house is crawling with cockroaches?
The face-blind boy had already come downstairs. He held his brother's arm affectionately, looked up and smiled while talking to him.
They were too far away, so Shen Tingzhou couldn't hear the specific content, nor could he see his brother's specific expression.
Su Qiang clenched her fists tightly, hanging them in front of her chest, and encouraged him: "Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him!"
The boy downstairs actually stood on tiptoe and kissed his brother on the chin.
Su Jiang continued to chant: "French kiss, French kiss, French kiss!"
Shen Tingzhou pressed his forehead, and then pressed it again, "Or... tell him, it doesn't feel good to do this."
Su Jiang argued, "I have already admitted my mistakes so many times, so what does it matter if I admit it one or two more times? Besides, if young people don't make mistakes, what kind of young people are they!"
What he said made so much sense that Shen Tingzhou was unable to refute it for a moment.
Su Qiang suddenly exclaimed, and said excitedly: "We kissed."
Shen Tingzhou looked down and saw that his brother bent down and actually kissed the boy on the eyelid, which surprised Shen Tingzhou so much that his pupils trembled slightly.
He asked Su Jiang in a trembling voice, "Are you sure he is your brother?"
Su Jiang raised her chin and said, "Of course, I grew up with them brothers."
If he is really my brother, then it is too...
Shen Tingzhou looked away, but couldn't help but look back to see their progress. The brother dragged the boy into a corner, and they couldn't see what they were doing from their angle.
Su Jiang dragged Shen Tingzhou to find the best "movie-watching" position, and said as she searched, "They must be French kissing! He didn't wear glasses today, so he must have come here on purpose. I knew he couldn't help himself."
A voice came from behind, "Da Rose."
Veins popped out on Su Jiang's forehead, and he turned his head with anger in his eyes and yelled, "I told you not to call me Da Jiang!"
Shen Tingzhou turned around and saw that the man named Su Jiang Da Jiang was the boyfriend of the face-blind boy.
Hey guys, the real boss is here!
"Huh?" The younger brother's eyes jumped past Su Jiang and fell to the second floor, "Isn't that my brother?"
Shen Tingzhou looked at Su Jiang who quietly gave up the best "movie viewing" position: ...
The younger brother walked over and saw two people kissing downstairs. It was his brother who took the initiative to kiss. His expression changed immediately.
