Chapter 117 - Whose Side Is He On
Chapter 117 - Whose Side Is He On
"Or rather, he has a crush on you."
When Yu Zhou heard Duan Yunhong's words, he did not show any surprise or surprise.
He just said coldly: "What does it have to do with you what he thinks of me and what I think of him? Why are you here to be the judge?"
"You're not surprised at all, so you know, right?" Duan Yunhong looked at Yu Zhou and said calmly, "Maybe he also knows that you know. That's open love, not secret love."
"It's none of your business. Are you a reporter for a tabloid?" Yu Zhou said sarcastically, "Duan Yunhong, you don't think I'll prove myself here, right? Don't think too much. I don't need to bother with you. If you have the guts, go ask Ning Fei directly, don't ask me. If you really like Ning Fei, you deserve it, but don't think you can point fingers at his interpersonal relationships!"
Duan Yunhong asked: "Then you can interfere with his relationship with others?"
"Yes, I can." Yu Zhou sneered, and said sarcastically, "No way, no way, you don't think you can compare with me? Just based on how many times you slept with Ning Fei? It's really strange that the toy at night has a mouth."
"The relationship between you two really has nothing to do with me. But firstly, my judgment of your relationship and the way you get along with each other is to provide a basis for my decision. Secondly, the bet between Ning Fei and I has nothing to do with you. How I deal with the positioning mark on my hand is not your business." Duan Yunhong tapped his fingers on the table silently a few times and replied coldly, "Before I deal with it myself, if you want to intervene forcefully, I don't mind testing the strength of the so-called 'teacher'."
"Wow, that sounds so scary. I'm really afraid you'll beat me to death." Yu Zhou patted his chest pretentiously, "Should I call Ning Fei to see if he will help me or you?"
"Of course you can take advantage of his lingering feelings for you and make him obey your orders. He won't go west if you say east." Duan Yunhong looked at him coldly, feeling a little irritated for some reason. "If you want someone, he will go to Huichuan alone, work hard to climb up, and support the whole family of an unsuccessful professor for several months, just to trick you into wanting the person you want. Now you can't want him anymore. If you want him to go back to Tianyue, he will come back without saying a word. As for the things that Huichuan can't take with him, he doesn't want them. Huichuan stopped him, and it would be disadvantageous to him if he left, but he ran away without caring. Huichuan has uploaded his violation records to the system. As a third-level mutant, it will be difficult for him to go to other bases in the future. He can only help you at Tianyue Base. He will never do such a disadvantageous thing in other missions."
After saying such a long string, Duan Yunhong suddenly felt very dry in his mouth. He drank the water that Chen Yikun had poured in a paper cup for him in a few gulps, and then continued: "I have seen him interact with so many people, debt collectors, time travelers, locals in the world... Among them, what he dislikes most is those who try to control him. You seem to be equals and have a tacit understanding, but in fact, you are the one who is in charge. And he knows that you are like this, but he still follows your words, and even blocks a few words about you and Yue Fengping. If you are just ordinary colleagues or master and apprentice, why are you so sensitive."
"Speaking of trying to control and dominate, isn't there one right in front of us? It seems that Ning Fei dislikes someone's self-introduction the most." Yu Zhou sneered, "Duan Yunhong, you don't think it's unfair or you're jealous of me, do you? Or are you just using dirty tricks to try to alienate others with this topic? This is a bit disgusting."
As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and stood up: "It's not the case that whoever talks the most is right, nor is it the case that I have to accept your conjectures just because you make a long speech. If you don't want to answer my questions and use your ridiculous logic to deceive me, then we really have nothing to talk about. There's no point in talking if we don't agree." Pushing the chair back to the table, Yu Zhou put on a business smile that didn't reach his eyes, "It's noon, so I won't delay Director Duan's lunch time. I won't send you off."
After saying that, he didn't even bother to go through the social etiquette of seeing Duan Yunhong out of the meeting room. He turned around, opened the door of the meeting room, and walked straight out.
Only Duan Yunhong was left sitting at the conference table.
The man stared at the open door, motionless and silent. A few seconds later, someone happened to pass by and looked towards the door out of curiosity. The moment their eyes met, the young researcher subconsciously ran away in panic, and Duan Yunhong also came to his senses.
"Tsk." He still felt thirsty and subconsciously picked up the paper cup. The light weight reminded him that he had already drunk it all. Duan Yunhong had a premonition that something was wrong and his eyes fell on the empty bottle of oral liquid.
Due to limited material conditions, the sample bottle packaging was very simple, with only a simple piece of red paper with the expiration date and a simple and straightforward product name printed on it. Duan Yunhong didn't look closely just now, just glanced at it, and then Yu Zhou forced him to drink it. Now I pick it up and look at it again, and I can really see the name of this thing.
——Compound gecko oral liquid.
Even though Duan Yunhong has accumulated experience from multiple worlds and is knowledgeable, he cannot be 100% sure of the effectiveness of this thing at once. He recalled the words Yu Zhou had used to introduce this thing, stood up and walked to the sample table, picked up the same red packaging box, and began to read the introduction on it.
The part that Yu Zhou had read was exactly the same - "used for deficiency of qi and blood, physical weakness, lack of energy, insomnia and forgetfulness." But I don't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he omitted another shorter introduction at the beginning.
"Nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves the essence and blood, strengthens the muscles and bones..." Duan Yunhong recited the previous sentence in a low voice and couldn't help but "tsk" again. In an instant, he understood how this so-called "spiritual boosting" oral liquid actually worked.
Those who understand will understand how to nourish the kidneys.
--No wonder……
The man pulled at his collar, as if this would allow some air to rush in and cool him down for a moment. But just like that, he put down his hand, strode out of the meeting room with a stern face and calm expression.
He also collected the bottle with the severed head and took it away in the space.

Because he had to lead the preparation and establishment of an office in charge of variant research, Ning Fei ran to several departments and held a day-long meeting. In the evening, he politely declined the suggestion of the last person he attended a meeting with to go out for dinner and returned home.
As soon as he entered the door, Ning Fei keenly smelled the smell of smoke. He was quite surprised and followed the smell of smoke to the living room window, where he saw Duan Yunhong leaning against the window smoking.
The man was wearing a bathrobe, but not only was the belt unfastened, but the collar was almost completely open. The water drops on his head slid down the sides of his face, and it was obvious that he had just taken a shower. There was an ashtray on the windowsill with two smouldering cigarette butts in it and a whole pack of cigarettes next to it. The floor fan in the living room was also turned to the highest setting, blowing towards him from the side. The wind was so loud that Ning Fei subconsciously raised the tone of his voice when he spoke.
"What's going on? The sun is rising from the west?"
Ning Fei approached suspiciously and looked him up and down: "You smoke like crazy and don't dry your hair after taking a shower. Also, if you're really hot, why don't you turn on the air conditioner? Why are you standing here with such a big fan?"
Duan Yunhong exhaled a puff of smoke: "If the window is closed, the smoke smell will not go away."
"I'm fine anyway. You're still blaming yourself for getting beaten up. How humorous." Ning Fei said happily, "What on earth happened to you today?"
Duan Yunhong did not answer but asked: "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." Ning Fei looked puzzled. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I just had my meal in the cafeteria by myself, and I don't want to go out again."
Duan Yunhong looked at his features and asked, "Are you tired?"
"It's ok, I'm just tired. I've been in a meeting all day, and I haven't used my brain so hard in a while, so I'm too lazy to go to the dinner party tonight." Ning Fei paused, and finally couldn't help asking, "What are you smoking? I haven't smelled it before, and it smells pretty good."
"This is Huichuan's top-quality product. It was a rare commodity before the zombie wave, and production has long been discontinued." Duan Yunhong handed him the whole cigarette that had only been opened from a pack on the windowsill, "Here."
"Give it all to me?" Ning Fei glanced at the ashtray, "Don't you like it?"
"It's okay, to relieve the dryness." Duan Yunhong raised the half of the cigarette in his mouth again, but instead of putting it into his own mouth, he stuffed it into Ning Fei's mouth. Ning Fei was surprised, and leaned back to avoid it while shouting, "What are you doing?!"
Duan Yunhong pinched his chin and forced the cigarette in: "Here's the cigarette. I need you to cooperate with me on something."
Before Ning Fei could take the cigarette out of his mouth, Duan Yunhong had already grabbed his waist and turned him around, pressing him against the window sill: "Your good teacher gave me something to drink."
Ning Fei, who was smoking a cigarette, said: "...Huh?!"
Duan Yunhong took out the palm-sized oral liquid bottle and shook it in front of Ning Fei: "Gecko oral liquid, nourishes the liver and kidneys, and improves the essence and blood..."
"Puff!" Ning Fei finally freed up one hand to take down the cigarette. As soon as he heard the effect, he knew what this thing was and laughed, "Why did he give you this to drink? Did you provoke him?"
"Maybe." Duan Yunhong threw the bottle and moved closer to Ning Fei, "But no matter what he thinks, you have to deal with the aftermath now."
"What? A debt owed to a teacher, right?" Ning Fei immediately noticed the other party's state, put the cigarette into the ashtray, raised his hands to hug Duan Yunhong's neck, and said with a smile, "Oh my God, Duan Yunhong, you were not taking a shower and smoking just to suppress this, were you? Can't you solve it yourself?"
Duan Yunhong stared at him, close to his face, seemingly expressionless, but actually revealing a hint of warmth: "Not enough."
Ning Fei raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you use me as a toy to vent your anger, right?"
"I don't have the habit of collecting toys." Duan Yunhong replied inexplicably. Before Ning Fei could think about it, the man added, "Actually, I have a white coat in my space."
Ning Fei's eyes lit up: "Change now? Just like that?"
Duan Yunhong: “…Okay.”
Ning Fei: “Deal!”
