Chapter 72
It was only when Li Yang helped Zhou Du back to the dormitory that he realized that he might be extremely drunk.
The man tripped over the doormat. Li Yang steadied him, but he overestimated the size difference between him and himself.
Although he stabilized himself, he was pressed against the door by the man, bearing the weight of the man's body, feeling heavy and having difficulty breathing.
Li Yang pushed his shoulder, but didn't move.
I moved it to my chest, hoping to change the point of thrust so that I could push it open more easily.
It still didn't work, so she moved to the man's lower abdomen.
As soon as I put it on, before I could use any strength, a big hand grabbed my left wrist.
A faint male voice came from my ear: "Li Yang, who told you that you can touch anywhere?"
Li Yang felt a heat in his ears from the air currents. "Get out of the way."
The man stood still, his body firmly pressing down on him, but his hands moved - he pulled his hands up, raised them high, and tied them above his head.
The big hand that was pinching his wrist first used the palm and fingertips to slowly and forcefully rub the red mole on his wrist.
The flesh on his wrists was rubbed red.
Li Yang's breathing suddenly stopped, and when he recovered, something was wrong. His heart was beating irregularly, he felt burning all over, and his ravaged wrist felt numb and electric.
The man seemed to rub him into his bones.
Just as the big hand on his wrist climbed up and onto his palm, he tried his best to clench his fist to resist, but was pushed away, forcing him to intertwine his fingers with his.
Li Dongqiang came back holding a glowing fairy wand and looked at them at the door.
"..." Xiao Yanhua's voice could not be ignored. Zhou Du, who had indeed gone too far tonight, let go of him and looked at Li Dongqiang, "Are you done?"
Li Dongqiang nodded and raised the one in his hand, "This is the last one."
*
I took Li Dongqiang back to the room, gave it a bath, and then came out after I finished bathing myself. I glanced at the Winter Melon Spirit, who was playing mobile games on the bed.
Li Yang plugged earphones into it and told it to wear them and not take them off.
Li Dongqiang was very obedient and nodded.
Li Yang closed the door, turned around, and walked straight into the room opposite.
The owner of the room was not at home, the bathroom door was closed, and the sound of running water was muted at this time.
Soon, the door opened and the man came out in a bathrobe. The hand that had tried to intertwine his fingers thirty minutes ago - Li Yang wanted to chop it off no matter how he looked at it - was wiping his short hair with a towel.
Seeing him appear in his bedroom, Zhou Du showed no surprise on his face.
Li Yang couldn't hold back his words. He didn't come here to hold back his words. He just went forward and grabbed the collar of the man's bathrobe and pushed him against the wall. "What do you mean tonight?"
Nanjiang City does not have heating, so the indoor temperature is relatively low. He still smells of mint shower gel, and the cool minty air penetrates his nose.
Zhou Du, who had inexplicably gained some small benefit, almost burst out laughing.
It is really unclear how far his misconduct can go.
Alcohol does relax the string that the human brain has to keep taut on a normal day, making the person feel that if he doesn't want to be tense anymore, there's no point in being tense.
Zhou Du lowered his eyes, seemingly looking at him quietly, without saying a word.
Perhaps it was due to anger or rage, Li Yang felt his eyes getting hot.
From Zhou Du's perspective, the corners of the young man's eyes turned slightly red, his lower eyelids were stained with a very light flesh-pink color, and his pupils were shining with a bright light.
Looks like he's about to cry.
Zhou Du sighed inwardly. He didn't want to make excuses like "I lost my temper after drinking", nor did he want to endure it any longer.
It only says that you cannot interfere with the course of nature, but it doesn’t say that you cannot fall in love again.
He twisted the edge of the young man's pajamas with his fingers. The pure black satin was smooth and smooth. He resisted the urge to caress it and said slowly, "I promised Director Liu to find you a partner, but after looking around, I think I'm the only good one. What do you think?"
Li Yang didn't even think about who Director Liu was, but Zhou Du had made it very clear, and he understood it, so he immediately let go of the man's collar and moved away from him like he was avoiding germs, while cursing, "I think you're fucking sick."
Why am I like a stinky straight man in this life?
Alcohol damages the brain nerves, and I feel a dull pain in the corners of my forehead.
He looked at the corners of the straight man's clothes that had been tangled by him.
The pajamas were thin and light, showing off a narrow waistline. She couldn't help but take a deep breath. "I've made my point. I'll give you a week to digest it."
Li Yang was just about to say, "I don't necessarily need you to thank me?"
The man immediately followed up with the previous sentence, "I will officially pursue you in a week, please let me know."
Li Yang: “?”
Li Yang felt his head was buzzing and he couldn't think straight.
The boss, who had to file a report while chasing someone, didn't give him any chance to breathe: "It was indeed inappropriate for me to touch you tonight. I'm sorry."
Li Yang didn't see any sign of apology from him.
Zhou Du really didn’t have much sincerity, so his next sentence was: “But if you don’t leave, I will still want to touch you.”
A young straight man was completely stunned on the spot, his brain flashing with confusion and confusion, "What did he do to make his boss have the illusion that he wanted to chase him", "Why is Zhou Du crazy", "Bump?..."
When Li Yang understood the word "touch", an alarm bell rang in his mind. He couldn't say that he fled in panic, because he left after scolding Zhou Du, although he was at a loss for words when he said "You are sick."
*
Li Yang returned to his room, locked the door, turned off the lights, took Li Dongqiang's phone, and pressed the melon into the pillow, "Stop talking, go to sleep."
Li Dongqiang felt that his benefactor was in a bad mood, so he blinked and then closed his eyes without moving.
Li Yang pulled up the quilt and curled up.
In the darkness, my breathing became increasingly heavy and rapid under the quilt.
My brain couldn't help but repeat what the damned man said and did tonight. I just wished someone would knock him out with a stick until he lost consciousness.
But I finally forced myself to fall asleep...I might as well not sleep.
The man in the dream was not the one in ancient costume in the bamboo forest, but Zhou Du.
Their fingers were really intertwined.
When he was cornered, he scratched his back.
But it's no use.
When I woke up, I didn't feel my memory was gone or better after a good night's sleep. Instead, I felt even more upset.
Li Yang didn't care about a week. He planned to hide forever and even started to resign.
Anyway, the Wuchang regularization exam is coming up soon. He won't do other jobs, such as helping 779 track down evil cultivators and training new drivers for all the little alien kindergartens.
However, as soon as Lu Xiaoguo asked him to recruit school bus drivers again and spoke to Director Wang, who was fat, he was questioned repeatedly.
Lu Xiaoguo: [? ]
【？ 】
【? Answer the phone. 】
Li Yang didn't reply.
Lu Xiaoguo sent a heartfelt text, his tone so serious that there was not a trace of his usual jokes.
What he meant was that his abilities could help the kindergarten a lot, and he could help more children, and that he had opportunities and talents, etc., and he used some words to retain and comfort the child.
Finally, I asked what happened that made him suddenly resign.
He also asked Zhou Du if he knew about this.
After asking, Lu Xiaoguo realized: Whatever I said to Xiao Li, I could just ask the boss directly.
So he called Zhou Du.
Zhou Du had just hung up the call from Director Wang, who asked him to do some ideological work on Li Yang, when he received a call from Lu Xiaoguo.
"Boss, where are you? Xiao Li wants to resign, did you know?"
"Just found out. I'm in the garden."
Lu Xiaoguo uttered a soft "ah". New Year's Day... in the garden? Spending the New Year with Xiao Li?
All right, "Did he tell you why he wanted to resign? He didn't even respond when I asked him."
"No, but I know why."
Lu Xiaoguo was anxious, "So what's the reason? Why are you quitting out of the blue?"
"Because I said I wanted to pursue him." Zhou Duyan.
Lu Xiaoguo's brain was idle for a long time, and he kept nodding in silence for a long time.
Finally, he just muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry? Just take your time. You've scared me."
It’s not easy to do ideological work now.
"In short, you don't have to talk about love, but Master Xiao Li must stay." Lu Xiaoguo said firmly, "I will stand on the same front with Xiao Li this time."
After saying that, Lu Xiaoguo hung up and sent a message to Li Yang, scolding Zhou Du for being a bad person and saying that even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. She also told Li Yang not to worry and that she would condemn him if Zhou Du came one meter closer to her in the future.
Li Yang was already lying on the bed suffering from indigestion.
He avoided Zhou Du for about three days, occasionally going downstairs to fill his stomach. Zhou Du might have agreed to give him a week, so he didn't stop him and say anything.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Bureau 779 found some clues about Chao Yuan Zong. It was said that there was a small gathering place in Lian'an City in the north. Bureau Wang hoped that Li Yang would accompany several colleagues from Bureau 779 to investigate.
Li Yang just wanted a chance to hide somewhere else temporarily, so he agreed, saying only that it was the last time.
As a result, on the morning of the fifth day, when he came out carrying the suitcase, Zhou Du also came out holding the suitcase handle.
Li Yang: “?”
Zhou Du took the initiative to explain: "I'm going back to Changqing Mountain, which is in Lian'an City. Director Wang asked me to participate in the investigation of Chaoyuan Sect when I have time, so I won't follow you all the time."
Li Yang didn't know what it meant to retreat in order to advance, he just thought it was okay.
As a result, I don’t know if it was because 779 had a generous budget at the beginning of the year, but they all booked business class seats. 779’s colleague sat on the other side, while Li Yang and Zhou Du sat together.
Li Yang asked for a blanket, eye mask and earplugs, and slept for three hours, waking up only when he fell to the ground.
After getting the luggage, a Taoist priest from Changqing Mountain came to pick him up at the airport. Only then did Li Yang know that the accommodation arranged by 779 was the Taoist temple of Master Zhoudu from Changqing Mountain.
An hour and a half later, the car drove to the parking lot halfway up Changqing Mountain, and then took a shuttle bus up the mountain.
When they arrived at the Taoist temple, they were immediately invited to the cafeteria to eat vegetarian food. Li Yang didn't have much of an appetite, but the food was quite delicious. He ate three bowls, and then the group was led to Master Zhou Du's tea room.
He was an old man with a sage-like demeanor. He made tea and smoked and chatted with people from 779. Li Yang was choked for two minutes, so he went out for some fresh air and sat on the wooden ladder to enjoy the wind and watch the snow.
The white down jacket looks rounder, like a dumpling that is eaten during festivals.
Inside the Chan room, the master puffed out smoke and asked Zhou Du, "Is that him?"
Zhou Du nodded.
After smoking and talking about Chao Yuanzong's affairs, they came out of the tea room. The old master gave Li Yang a long gift box. Inside was a purple-hair brush engraved with gold-lacquered scriptures. He said it would be more useful for drawing talismans.
Without waiting for Li Yang to say anything, the old man stuffed the thing into his hand and slowly left to do other things.
After spending the night in Changqing Mountain, Li Yang and the members of 779 set out early in the morning to look for Chao Yuanzong's whereabouts.
Finally, it was found in a county town near Lian'an City. When the believer heard the 779 people, he said, "My aunt said that Lingfeng God is very effective, so I want to come and worship him."
He led the way enthusiastically.
It is a simple self-built house with a half-meter-high bronze statue on the first floor. It is crowded with believers. The smell of incense is very strong, so strong that it is choking.
The hosts were a group of people who looked like Taoist priests. They preached in a very magical way. The pilgrims listened devoutly, paid their incense money, and burned incense very actively.
779 people were also forced to put money in the donation box and burn incense.
When they arrived at Liyang, Liyang was unwilling.
The statue was shrouded in smoke, and there was no trace of compassion on it. In short, Li Yang was disdainful.
So he refused to burn incense and worship the gods. At this time, most of the believers were already upset, but before they started to make a fuss, something went wrong with the incense burner in front of the statue, and it fell down without any external force.
At this moment, all the believers changed their expressions and used harsh words and actions to drive Li Yang out.
In the chaos, an old lady hit the bone below Li Yang's eye with her fist.
Two colleagues from 779 escorted him out. They breathed a sigh of relief when they got into the car and looked at Li Yang's injuries.
"It's blue again, go back and apply some medicine."
Li Yang nodded.
On the way back to Changqing Mountain, the two colleagues were discussing that they could just carry out the investigation over the next few days, and when the time came to summarize it, Li Yang would just give some advice.
"You should stay in Changqing Mountain for the next few days. We will probably go back at the beginning of the year."
Li Yang said yes.
Back at Changqing Mountain, the bruises on Li Yang's cheeks were already noticeable, and Zhou Du didn't look very well, so he took him to the room to apply medicine.
Li Yang didn't break free and was forced to apply the medicine. Then Zhou Du went out and cooked a special meal for him when he came back. It was a roast duck with crispy skin. It was very tasty. Li Yang felt uncomfortable, but it was really delicious. He was in a bad mood and just wanted to eat it.
Just after finishing the meal, Zhou Du was cleaning up the leftovers when he heard a young Taoist priest outside yelling angrily, "Who stole the offerings from the Ancestor's Hall?!"
Zhou Du went out with a plate of roast duck bones and said honestly: "Me."
The young Taoist priest: "Oh, it's ok, brother, please eat more. If it's not enough, I'll make more."
Li Yang:?
