Chapter 90 - In the midst of busyness
Chapter 90 - In the midst of busyness
During the winter vacation of the senior year of high school, the time is tight and the tasks are heavy. There are so many homeworks that students lament that it would be better not to have a vacation.
The Lin couple even decided not to go back to their hometown for the New Year this year, just to save Lin Shengjia the energy of running around and socializing, so that he can focus on his studies. However, the relatives in the city still got together. Of course, Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong also went to the Lin family for dinner several times during the Chinese New Year.
During the first meal of this round, Ning Fei discovered that something was wrong with Luo Chenghong.
He and Luo Chenghong haven't seen each other for a long time, but he can still notice each other's abnormality as soon as they meet. Ning Fei did not ask Luo Chenghong, but took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to get close to Duan Yunhong and asked in a low voice: "Is Xie Baolin...gone?"
Duan Yunhong looked calm as usual: "Yeah."
"It seems like you knew about this a long time ago?" Ning Fei was puzzled. "You took it away?"
"You think too much. I said I won't waste my luck by doing nothing." Duan Yunhong said, "He has little hope. If he stays, he can only watch you, a debt collector, succeed step by step. Why don't you leave?"
"Didn't he want to see you in all your glory? Has he seen enough and decided to go out and spread gossip about you?" Ning Fei continued to ask, "And how did you know he was gone so early? Is there any connection between you bandits?"
"Who would have a connection with him? Isn't that disgusting?" Duan Yunhong replied, "Why do you care about this? Anyway, he will not come back after he leaves."
Ning Fei asked again: "Then why didn't you tell me as soon as he left?"
Duan Yunhong: "It doesn't make any sense. You didn't ask."
Ning Fei still felt that there was something fishy about this, but Duan Yunhong didn't seem to want to talk about it, and Ning Fei didn't need to keep pestering him about it. It was a good thing for Ning Fei that Xie Baolin left, as he no longer had to worry all day about whether Hun Buyin was planning to cause trouble. Moreover, it is still a bit scary when two lucky bandits get together - even though Duan Yunhong swore that it was impossible for him to cooperate with Xie Baolin.
Ning Fei is not a debt collector who would bet on others.
He asked Lin Shengjia again, and Lin Shengjia said that Xie Baolin did not have any abnormal behavior before she left. It was only later that he realized that the other party seemed to be different. But after thinking about it for a while, Lin Shengjia still remembered what Xie Baolin said before leaving after the last meal at his house.
He said, "It's boring, let's go."
Lin Shengjia thought he was just complaining casually, but he never expected that these would be the last words left by the other party. Ning Fei didn't know if this sentence had any deep meaning. When she told Duan Yunhong about it, Duan Yunhong's attitude remained the same: "I'm not interested in knowing what he meant. Why are you studying this? Are you free?"
Ning Fei couldn't talk to him about this topic, so he completely forgot about Xie Baolin and just waited until the mission was over and then went back to report that guy.
The short winter vacation ended in the blink of an eye, and the last semester of senior year came like an unstoppable dark cloud.
Rest days are basically completely cancelled, and the only free time is Sunday afternoon. Lin Shengjia's computer time is compressed to a maximum of half an hour per week, and he is lucky if he can use it twice a month. Shenzhen's "Business Storm" will no longer be updated to him. If he asked, Ning Fei would mock him, "Why, if you ask a few more questions your business will take off? Do you know more than Duan Yunhong?"
Lin Shengjia didn't dare to say anything.
He just saw Duan Yunhong and Ji Yuechi on the news, and it seemed that they were meeting with foreign guests. Lin Shengjia was frightened at the thought of such a high-profile occasion. He thought it would be easier to be a student. Although you overuse your brain all day, you just need to focus on studying and don't have to worry about anything else.
However, it is not only the students who are struggling in the second semester of senior year. The teachers are also busy as hell - even Ning Fei is no exception. He was considered to be a relatively indifferent teacher among the senior high school teachers, but the senior high school English group "dragged" him so hard that he had to follow the test. As a result, even if Duan Yunhong came back to see him on weekends, he would basically have no time. And even if Duan Yunhong was willing to wait until late at night, Ning Fei was too busy to do so and had to get up early the next day, so she had no interest in "late-night activities" with him.
After all this, Duan Yunhong was too lazy to fly back and forth on weekends. If Ning Fei said she didn't have time to pay attention to him, then she really would ignore him. He wasn't the kind of person who would push for things, and he could live without a nightlife. When Duan Yunhong sent this decision to Ning Fei via text message in Shenzhen, Ning Fei did not raise any objections or questions, but only replied with a brief word: [OK].
Duan Yunhong laughed out loud when he read the text message, and it was unclear whether he was laughing or something else. His eyes lingered on the "Reply" button for a second, but eventually his finger hit the exit button and he put the phone away.
Two weeks passed like this, and Ji Yuechi also discovered that there was something wrong with Duan Yunhong's schedule.
In fact, he had discovered a long time ago that Duan Yunhong would "disappear" on weekends. Later, Duan Yunhong made public his "relationship" with Ning Fei, and Ji Yuechi tacitly accepted that this "absurd" uncle went back to see Ning Fei every weekend. The trip was expensive, but it was a sure thing. Even the arrangement of business activities could not influence Duan Yunhong's decision. Therefore, Ji Yuechi was still very surprised when Duan Yunhong stayed in Shenzhen for two consecutive weekends.
"Uncle, do you have any important plans in the past two weeks? Why haven't you returned to South City?"
Ji Yuechi believed that he had a close relationship with Duan Yunhong, so he asked the question in a very casual and direct manner: "Did you have a conflict with that teacher Ning?"
Duan Yunhong didn't even look up from the report, and only responded coldly: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
"It's just a joke. I didn't curse you to break up." Ji Yuechi smiled. "But he's just an ordinary teacher. Is it necessary for him to control you? How about when I invite Mr. Ma to play tonight, I can also find some fun for my uncle."
"No."
"Is it that serious, uncle? Don't tell me you're going to abstain from sex for a man." Ji Yuechi didn't take the relationship between Duan Yunhong and Ning Fei seriously at all, and his smile became more and more ambiguous. "'Ravi' also has many men, uh, male 'princesses'... Anyway, there are men who 'work', and there are also male students who study art. Uncle, even if you're not tired of that teacher yet, you can change your taste occasionally and vent your anger. Anyway, he can't know."
"You've been focusing all your attention on these trivial things of eating, drinking and having fun?" Duan Yunhong sneered and side-glanced at him, "How do you know there are male students studying art? Are you also playing with them?"
Ji Yuechi didn't respond, but just smiled. It was a smile that all men could understand.
Duan Yunhong understood. But his nominal "uncle" would not criticize Ji Yuechi. He only commented meaningfully: "Take care of yourself."
Ji Yuechi misunderstood at first and laughed: "Uncle, I'm still young."
"What I mean is, remember to have more physical examinations." Duan Yunhong said faintly, "If you have sex with a man, be careful that Lin Aimei will find you."
"'Lin Aimei'? Who?"
Duan Yunhong's tone of sarcasm was even more intense: "You don't even know this? How dare you play with those 'chickens and ducks'?"
"...Oh, you mean those things." Ji Yuechi replied confidently, "No, I'm just trying out new ones. I'll play with them only after I'm sure they're clean. I don't play with second-hand ones."
When Duan Yunhong heard his childish remarks, he felt that Ji Yuechi had the word "idiot" printed on his forehead. He originally wanted to respond casually, "Do you think that just because the boss says I'm a newcomer I really am a newcomer?", but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them back.
——Forget it, even if he gets infected with all the diseases, what does it have to do with me?
It would be better if I got infected, then I can have some fun. Life has been too boring lately. Only if the Ji family gets involved in some scandals or gossips can the guy who is addicted to being a teacher be distracted, right?
***
This situation continued until a national holiday.
It was only one day, but the school was on break, giving the teachers and students who were about to take the college entrance exam in two months a break. When Ning Fei heard the news, he informed Duan Yunhong a few days in advance. Mr. Duan’s reply was very cold: [I have plans for that day. 】
Ning Fei: [You won’t let go? 】
Duan Yunhong: [Reception arrangements are not included in holidays. 】
Ning Fei thought to herself, you are talking nonsense, you are definitely sulking with me. He has been holding it in until now. He has a really amazing temper.
However, after months of hard work, Teacher Ning really misses Mr. Duan (in terms of physique and skills). If we don't meet this time, we might have to wait a month or two for the next chance.
So Ning Fei used some coaxing skills and continued to send messages: [Are you really not coming? I would like to fly over to give you a surprise, but when I checked the air tickets, one day is too tight for a round trip, and I have to leave soon after landing. It's impossible for me to ask you to have sex at the airport hotel and then leave, right? 】
Duan Yunhong: [At least find a decent excuse for your nonsense. The round-trip airfare is equivalent to three months' salary for you. Would you be willing to spend that money? 】
Ning Fei: [I won’t be able to stay in this world until the end of the year, so why should I save these few months’ salary? If it had been left for two days, I would have bought it immediately. 】
Duan Yunhong: [I am not free even if you come. 】
Ning Fei: [Okay. Then I'll go to your apartment and enjoy the water bed, and I guess I'll have to buy myself a drink. It would be nice to use the money that you can’t use to buy plane tickets to buy some wine. 】
Duan Yunhong: [No need to report to me. 】
Ning Fei: [Hahaha, aren’t you afraid that the security guard will see the lights on in your house and call you to ask if there’s a thief in your house? 】
The text message exchange ended in this very superficial atmosphere. The two people seemed to have said a lot back and forth, but in fact, they said nothing. In fact, it is the result of both sides pulling at each other verbally but refusing to make concessions or accommodate in action.
Ning Fei failed to seduce anyone and muttered a few words about Duan Yunhong's bad temper behind his back. At one point, he thought about going to a local bar to seduce someone to relieve his sexual desire. However, after entering the mission world this time, he didn't really get familiar with the nightlife environment, and wasn't quite sure where the bars in South City were concentrated, especially the bars where men looked for the same sex to play with. After all, this is not a social atmosphere where everyone can be honest about their orientation. But Ning Fei felt that it was not worth it to spend energy on research just for a night of happiness.
After being annoyed for a few days, Ning Fei finally decided to bring some wine and cigarettes and destroy Duan Yunhong's apartment.
——It would be best to use a cigarette butt to burn a hole in Duan Yunhong’s water bed, so that the guy can be flooded.
So on the night before the rare holiday for the senior high school teachers and students, Ning Fei spent almost all of his salary and savings, packed up some famous liquors and cigarettes, and meals from famous restaurants, and drove his motorcycle to Duan Yunhong's apartment after a long absence, preparing to have a decadent holiday with "both cigarettes and alcohol in private."
He even turned off his cell phone, planning to wait until he woke up the next day to talk about it.
Late at night, everything is quiet.
There were untied boxes and bags on the dining table, and melodious music and the rich aroma of wine filled the apartment. The indirect lighting could barely illuminate a path leading to the bathroom. The bathroom door was not closed, and the steam rising from the large bathtub was mixed with a few wisps of faint imported cigarette smoke.
Ning Fei leaned against the edge of the bathtub, holding a cigarette between two fingers and a tall wine glass in the other hand.
The red wine in the glass swayed back and forth for a few times, and suddenly the glass tilted, and half of the red wine fell into the bathtub.
Ning Fei smiled silently.
The music coming from the radio blinded his ears, and he did not hear a click coming from the direction of the apartment door.
