Come home with me and say goodbye to your parents...
Liu Shixing is dead.
Amid the crowd's exclamations and sighs, he fell backwards, landing on the back of his neck.
The safety air cushion downstairs had not been installed yet. The reason seemed to be that the blower used for inflation was broken. The security guard temporarily found a spare one, but it was too late.
So no one can predict fate.
Wen Zichuan had never considered abandoning all grudges with him, but the sudden loss of a life made him silent for a long time.
The way people die is very ugly. Cheng Sizhou has seen a lot of it since he was a child. The moment Liu Shixing fell from the building, he hugged Wen Zichuan and was about to cover his eyes, but his knees suddenly weakened and he fell down.
Wen Zichuan stared blankly as he was helped into the operating room. The doctor said that he had lost too much blood.
Cheng Xuecheng, Wang Xinxin and he were all waiting outside. A doctor came out, spoke to Cheng Xuecheng in a low voice, then shook his head and made a "three" gesture to him.
Cheng Xuecheng's face was solemn. Cheng Sizhou was scratched on the back by a fruit knife, with a series of wounds running diagonally from the right shoulder to the left waist.
The wound had avoided the spine and internal organs and had no vital injuries, but when he bent down to save the man, he used too much force and caused the wound to tear.
The "three" the doctor made means that more than thirty stitches are needed. If the family has no objection, he will be given general anesthesia.
Wen Zichuan was getting anxious waiting. Cheng Sizhou blocked the knife for him. The wound had to be stitched with so many stitches. How much pain must he have suffered!
He regretted that he should not have negotiated directly with Liu Shixing. As long as he could be sure that Liu Shixing's employer was the mastermind behind the incident and let him escape, he could also trace his whereabouts and communication records.
It's just more troublesome, more complicated and takes more time.
He went to the window alone to take a breath, with a variety of thoughts competing in his mind.
At the moment, he couldn't tell whether he felt more regretful for being too hasty or more grateful that his life would no longer be disturbed.
In his pocket, Liu Shixing's cell phone was vibrating, but it had a password lock and he couldn't open it.
In fact, he was not the most qualified person to open his phone and pry into his privacy. He understood Liu Shixing's final determination. No matter what context the "dead white moonlight" was placed in, it was an existence that could not be ignored.
He forced himself not to think too much, but he was still afraid. He was afraid that death was something that could not be avoided and would come to him at some unexpected time in the future.
"Hello, Su Zhuo," Wen Zichuan called, "Do you have any results from the genetic testing agency I asked you to help find last time?"
"I contacted several companies, but only one was willing to take the job. However, they said this situation doesn't fall under rare disease screening, and after submitting the sample, it would take at least three weeks to get the results."
"Okay, find out their holiday schedule and I'll try to go there before the New Year."
"Got it, Teacher Wen."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Zichuan laughed at himself. There was probably nothing more appropriate than thinking about how long he could live in a place like a hospital.
After more than an hour, the operation was over. Cheng Sizhou's wound was on his back, so he couldn't lie down and had to lie on his stomach.
"He wakes up very slowly from the anesthesia. I'm afraid you'll worry, so I'll push him out first. A nurse will come to the ward soon to give him an anti-inflammatory injection." The doctor saw that the two people in front of him were familiar faces, so he hurriedly gave a few instructions and went to work.
Dr. Cheng and Ms. Wang looked at each other and thought that perhaps the antidepressants Cheng Sizhou was taking affected his body functions, causing him to "wake up slowly from anesthesia." However, they did not dare to take the risk of completely stopping the medication.
Wen Zichuan accompanied them back to the ward. Leng Sui came to urge them when he saw this, saying that President Wei had an appointment with a producer in the afternoon to discuss next year's project and asked him to go and listen as well.
But Wen Zichuan insisted on waiting until Cheng Sizhou woke up, saying that at worst they could just drive faster on the road.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Sizhou's eyelids moved, as if he was not fully awake, but his body was already conscious.
He lay on the pillow, stretched out his hand and waved it back and forth, as if searching for something.
Wen Zichuan extended his hand, Cheng Sizhou grasped it steadily, and then said three sentences word by word.
"We must protect Zichuan."
"You have to like Zichuan."
"Be quiet, Aikogawa."
Hearing this, Wen Zichuan's anxiety and worry disappeared immediately.
With tears in his eyes, he knew that Cheng's parents were nearby, but he still shamelessly asked, "Why do you love Zichuan secretly?"
Cheng Sizhou seemed to feel deeply wronged. He wanted to curl up, but the pain wouldn't allow him to do so. "I'm not good. I always drag him down."
Wen Zichuan took out his mobile phone, recorded a sentence "You are good, you can love Zichuan openly", and then placed his phone and Liu Shixing's phone side by side next to the pillow.
When leaving the ward, Wang Xinxin called him.
Wen Zichuan turned around and gave her a comforting look. He was no longer poor and was very confident. No matter what the elders of the Cheng family said, he was not afraid and did not mind at all.
"I know you're busy with work," Wang Xinxin forced a smile, but her smile was indeed very friendly. "When you're not busy, come back for dinner. Auntie will make you sweet and sour pork ribs, okay?"
Wen Zichuan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "Okay, of course." After saying that, he almost ran away, because if he didn't leave, he would not be able to control his tears.
Unlike Dr. Cheng, Ms. Wang is a female elder who makes him feel like a mother.
When his mother passed away in the hospital, Cheng's parents were present. Since Ms. Wang mentioned "Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs", she should know that it was his mother's specialty and his favorite maple dish.
Liu Shixing's knife attack caused a significant impact. All hospitals in the Yudeng District strengthened their security measures, and the security inspection systems that had been reluctantly installed were finally installed a week later.
As the end of the year approaches, all walks of life are routinely summarizing their work and preparing for holidays.
Wen Zichuan no longer had to go back to Fengbo for the New Year, so when he had some free time, he immediately finalized the house issue.
On the day they moved out of Tianchen Lake, Wei Xiaoming cried and made a fuss, saying that "Ju Shi Wen Ming" was going to break up. How could they cultivate feelings if they didn't live together?
Wen Zichuan coaxed him like a child, saying that as long as they were in the same company, "World Hearing" would never break up.
The new home is located in the center of Dengyuan City. It is a large flat on the top floor with four single bedrooms. Even if I bring my sister and Xiaoliang to take care of us in the future, it will be more than enough.
After moving into the new home, he got rid of Leng Sui, the "big tail". There was no reason for bodyguard Leng to follow him all day long. Instead, he went to work and rested like Su Zhuo.
With no one watching, Wen Zichuan went to the hospital more frequently. During Cheng Sizhou's recovery, he was fortunate enough to taste Ms. Wang's exclusive cooking and drink Dr. Cheng's collection of Rain-Predawn Longjing tea.
On the day of the make-up leave, Dr. Cheng and Ms. Wang were both busy. When Wen Zichuan arrived, he happened to catch Cheng Sizhou having lunch.
"Let me feed you?" Wen Zichuan asked him, holding the bowl.
"No, no, my hand is not injured." Cheng Sizhou refused. Which bed companion would dare to dream of such treatment, to be fed by the sponsor himself.
"Let me feed you." Wen Zichuan repeated.
Cheng Sizhou didn't insist any more: "Okay."
Wen Zichuan scooped half a spoonful of vegetables and half a spoonful of rice, blew it gently to cool it down, and then put it into Cheng Sizhou's mouth.
Cheng Sizhou took the knife for him. In front of Cheng's parents and all his parents' colleagues, he was willing to sacrifice himself to protect him without thinking.
Even though Liu Shixing described him as a "coward" and even called him a "coward" to his face, in Wen Zichuan's opinion, Cheng Sizhou always stood up to protect him and was clearly the bravest and fearless person in the world.
After feeding him mouthful by mouthful, Wen Zichuan saw that Cheng Sizhou was in good spirits and asked: "Are there any clues in his phone?"
Cheng Sizhou nodded. "I was just about to tell you. He kept the last few text messages. As expected, the other party promised to give him one million and arrange for him to go abroad after the deal was done."
During his recovery period, Cheng Sizhou was not idle. He called the number to send the message, but it said the number was invalid, which means that the other party had cancelled the account.
He knew that the WeChat nickname could not be empty, so he entered the number into the search and found a user nicknamed "τ".
"T?" Wen Zichuan was most afraid of this kind of foreign word riddle. "What does T mean?"
"It's not T, it's the Greek letter τ, pronounced tau."
"Greek letters?" Wen Zichuan thought for a moment. "The letter he wrote to Qiu Pengfei was signed with the character 'Xiang' (Xiang), and the message he sent to Liu Shixing also used Greek letters. Could they be the same person behind this?"
"I tend to think it's the same person. Constantly changing code names is similar to driving a tiger to devour a wolf: both are to hide their identity and erase clues."
"What's the connection between the code names 'phase' and 'τ'?"
"Although I don't fully understand it, I think '相' is a polyphonic character, with the verb pronounced in the first tone and the noun pronounced in the fourth tone. If he had received an orthodox liberal arts education, he would have signed his name as a noun based on his writing style. And the Greek letter τ is also commonly used to represent noun concepts in physics and mathematics."
"Noun," Wen Zichuan used the Internet to form a word for the word "Xiang". "From general to Xiang? General and Xiang are in harmony... Xiang..."
"You can't figure it out, right? As a noun, it doesn't have much more meaning than an ancient official title."
"Ancient official titles and Greek letters, I don't understand any of them."
Wen Zichuan's distressed expression, coupled with his handsome face, was indescribably cute in Cheng Sizhou's eyes.
"You shouldn't have to worry about this in the first place." Cheng Sizhou wanted to pat his head, but felt it was inappropriate, so he held back. "I sent it to Senior Brother Yu, and asked him and Xu Yang to help think about it."
Before New Year's Eve, Cheng Sizhou was discharged from the hospital.
It was originally planned that Xiao Liang would be included, but the doctor said that he was severely irritated by the fruit knife and his condition was not stable.
Wen Zichuan discussed with the doctor and decided to take Xiao Liang home to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve and send him back to the hospital in the afternoon of the first day of the new year.
When Meng Fanyu learned that Cheng Sizhou had been discharged from the hospital, he called in advance to express his concern. When he heard that he would not be returning to the prop factory to live, he attentively packed his daily necessities and sent them to him.
"You kid, have you wanted to kick me out for a long time?" Cheng Sizhou was joking, but he had bothered the other person for a long time and felt a little sorry.
"How can I? I'm from your family, here to see you off!" Meng Fanyu pretended to whisper, but ended up speaking in a loud voice like a broken gong. "You'd better seize this opportunity!"
When they left the hospital, Cheng's parents came.
The two elders simply repeated the doctor's instructions and let their son follow Wen Zichuan, as if it was just a very trivial matter.
After all, all parents know that one day they will have to hand their child's hand over to another person, who will accompany the child through the second half of life when the parents cannot accompany them.
On the way home, they passed by Willow Bank. The old houses had been razed to the ground and new buildings were reborn on the ruins.
Wen Zichuan seriously suspected that his new home and Yangliuan were developed by the same developer. As soon as he led Cheng Sizhou to the gate of the community, he saw him smiling at the words "Good Times and Beautiful Scenery" on the door.
"Do you know why I want to take you home?" Wen Zichuan asked as he entered the password to open the door.
"You paid 60,000 yuan, but I was in the hospital all month and didn't stay in your bed once." At the critical moment, Cheng Sizhou knew what was going on.
"That's good to know," Wen Zichuan closed the door and stared at him with burning eyes, "Next month, you will pay back the principal and interest."
Cheng Sizhou felt hot all over when he was stared at. He carried him to the shoe cabinet at the entrance, raised his head and leaned over to kiss him.
They have all waited for this kiss for too long. They should kiss when facing the test of life and death, when gaining the understanding of their elders, and when expressing the tenderness of care and companionship.
The accumulated debt of affection and desire had to be repaid today. Wen Zichuan's lips and tongue were numb from being sucked, and the endless biting and stirring was clearly a torture, but he still wanted more.
"Hmm..." Wen Zichuan didn't dare touch Cheng Sizhou's back. When they separated slightly, his saliva had already wet his chin. "The bedroom is... on the left side of the living room, the second one..."
Cheng Sizhou wanted to tease him, so he suddenly bit his earlobe and said, "As you wish, my financial sponsor."
