Chapter 77: The Despicable Nature of Humanity in the Previous Life
It was a surprise encounter, and Qi Yan was in no mood to invite anyone to his home, so he just found a coffee shop nearby.
"What do you want to say?"
Qi Yan tapped the table lightly with his black-gloved right hand, showing some impatience, but his expression did not show it, remaining as calm as ever.
After all, Qi Yan thought that there was nothing to talk about between him and Shen Xiliu. That period was too ugly, especially the last night, which was even worse. He didn't want to think about it.
Shen Xiliu's eyes fell on Qi Yan's right hand, and then slowly moved to his face. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes were serious, which he had rarely seen before: "Qi Yan, do you still remember the contents of page 9 of the contract?"
Of course Qi Yan remembered. After all, after signing the contract, he wrote it down: "Why, after so long, your illness is still not cured?"
The content on page nine of the contract is about the relevant regulations in case the patient has subsequent health problems and needs to be contacted to cooperate with treatment.
"Hmm." Shen Xiliu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression did not change much. He pulled up the information on his phone and handed it to Qi Yan, "You can take a look. I'll trouble you to cooperate with me next..."
"Again?" Qi Yan wanted to laugh and interrupted Shen Xiliu. He didn't want to go around in circles and go back to the beginning. After all, now that he was alone with Shen Xiliu, he felt an indescribable weird feeling in his heart, and even the back of his neck began to ache.
Qi Yan glanced at the phone screen, quickly extracted keywords, and after a while couldn't help laughing. He handed the phone back and looked up at Shen Xiliu's cold and indifferent face.
He casually took out a cigarette. In the past, he never smoked in front of Shen Xiliu because of the contract regulations. But now the contract period has ended and they are not in a public place, so he doesn't care.
"Chen Xiliu, I have checked. False marks can be covered by other alphas with the help of instruments. There is no need for us to repeat the same mistake. Wouldn't it be the same if you just find someone else?" Qi Yan lit a cigarette and spoke casually, his tone too frivolous.
Qi Yan's posture and tone of voice seemed particularly unfamiliar, which made Shen Xiliu stunned.
But after realizing what he said, Shen Xiliu suddenly felt angry. He said coldly, "Qi Yan, who do you think I am? Don't say such disgusting words to anger me on purpose."
How could he find someone else to cover up Qi Yan's fake mark!
"Then let's do this for another three months. Don't you feel disgusted?" Qi Yan bit the cigarette and sneered when he saw him easily return to that familiar indifferent look.
"Or, Shen Xiliu, are you addicted to being fucked by me?"
"Qi Yan, you!"
Shen Xiliu never expected Qi Yan to say such words to him. His brain went blank for a moment. When he reacted, a hint of anger appeared on his shocked expression, and his straight back stiffened slightly.
He tried hard to control his emotions, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said: "Qi Yan, watch your words, don't be so vulgar and mean!"
"Haven't you known about this kind of thing for a long time?" Qi Yan said in surprise. He stared at Shen Xiliu's face, which was flushed with shame and anger, and he found it really interesting to see him pursing his lips tightly and suppressing the anger in his heart.
These were expressions that he would never show before. After all, Shen Xiliu always acted arrogantly in front of Qi Yan and never looked him in the eye.
Of course, the previous Qi Yan would not deliberately talk trash in front of Shen Xiliu or ridicule him.
Qi Yan thought he didn't have such a low taste, but when he stared at Chen Xiliu's appearance, he felt a slight pain on the back of his neck. He thought about many things, his original resistance began to dissipate, and a dark and twisted thought appeared in his heart.
Why not take advantage of the sinking stream while you can?
If he wanted to take revenge on the Yi family, Shen Xiliu was a tool that came to him on his own initiative. As long as he was willing to use him...
"Chen Xiliu, don't be so angry, I'm just telling the truth." Qi Yan smoked a cigarette and calmed down.
The private room of this coffee shop is not big, and the cigarette smoke is diffused. Shen Xiliu, who smells the second-hand smoke, has no time to continue to be angry. He coughs several times and his cheeks become even redder due to the choking.
Qi Yan was indifferent and said calmly, "Considering the contract we signed before, if you don't want to change alpha, I can cooperate with you. But let me tell you something in advance. During the extension period, I will not sign a new contract with you, nor will I abide by those messy regulations, and I will not extract pheromones again. After all, such a long time is enough for your research institute to imitate the pheromone medicine suitable for you."
"Besides, I have a boyfriend now. If I were to do those things with you...tsk."
Nicotine couldn't suppress his irritability, and his nerves were still tense. Qi Yan stared at Chen Xiliu, whose face was flushed, and put on an indifferent and self-deprecating look.
"After all, if I do this, I am also cheating on my boyfriend with someone else, so I would like you to keep it a secret and not follow or monitor me anymore. Also, don't let anyone else know about it. I am in a relationship after all, and it will only last for three months at most."
After Qi Yan finished speaking, he laughed inexplicably: "Are you willing to do this?"
Although I really want to use him, but in the end...
No need.
After saying a lot of trash, Qi Yan felt that with Shen Xiliu's arrogant personality, he should be praised for his good manners for not punching him and walking away after listening to him.
However, even though Shen Xiliu's expression opposite him was covered with frost, his chest heaving with anger, and even the knuckles of his clenched fingers turning white from the effort, he still sat upright and elegantly. He tried his best to maintain his composure, suppressed his anger, and said word by word: "Why not?"
A totally unexpected result.
"Nothing is more important than life. This is how it should be..." Shen Xiliu's voice became lower and lower, as if he was hypnotizing himself. Qi Yan couldn't hear what he said next.
After a while, Shen Xiliu looked at Qi Yan deeply, his eyes swept across his right hand: "Since you agreed, let's contact again. This time, there will be no contract signed..."
After saying those words, Qi Yan had never expected that Shen Xiliu would actually agree to it, so much so that he was unable to react when Shen Xiliu left.
The cigarette burned to the end and burned Qi Yan's fingers. He shrank slightly, and the ashes fell. Only then did he slowly come back to his senses.
"Chen Xiliu has gone crazy." Qi Yan frowned and crushed the cigarette into the ashtray. Isn't it obvious that he is offering himself to him for use?
Qi Yan suddenly felt that the current Chen Xiliu gave him a very strange feeling. If it was the previous Chen Xiliu, how could he nod? After hearing these deliberately humiliating words, it was good enough that he didn't hit him.
Originally, he thought that Shen Xiliu had helped him a lot, so it would be better not to take advantage of him, but the other party had already delivered himself to his door...
Qi Yan lowered his eyelids and covered his pupils, then be a little shameless.
Some of what Shen Xiliu said was not wrong. He was actually... quite despicable.
Looking at myself in the transparent glass beside me, I felt a slight pain in the back of my neck and my head felt a little dizzy. As expected, Qi Yan pulled out a few pieces of paper from the table, blocked his nose, leaned back, and suddenly laughed for no apparent reason.
Qi Yan found that he was in a very good mood and even began to become a little excited.
Throwing away the blood-stained tissue, Qi Yan took out a small tablet of medicine from his pocket and drank it with coffee.
That's good. Although he always acts like he doesn't care about anything and doesn't worry about anything, how can he not care at all?
It was fine when he was busy at work, but once the surroundings were quiet, Qi Yan knew that he had never forgotten those things, and occasionally the idea of revenge would come to his mind, but he never took action...
After all, he is not a saint, but just an ordinary person who can never get rid of dark thoughts and the meanness of human nature.
…
Things happened quite naturally, as if nothing had changed much, but in fact they were completely different.
Shen Xiliu was a very perceptive person. What Qi Yan said was indeed unpleasant, but it was actually within his expectations. Some things can be done to insignificant people, but if you do them to people who cannot do them, you will eventually suffer the consequences.
But even if he guessed it, when he faced the other party in reality and listened to Qi Yan's words, Shen Xiliu still felt angry, embarrassed, and guilty...
If I hadn't taken the wrong path in the first place, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Chen Xiliu originally wanted to calmly resolve the past misunderstandings with Qi Yan and apologize to him properly, but when he saw Qi Yan's expression and heard what he said, he knew that the situation was not under his control, and it would be difficult for him to lower his dignity and apologize. After all, he was used to being arrogant and had never bowed his head to anyone in his life.
Shen Xiliu felt that he was embarrassed and ashamed enough when he could nod and agree even though Qi Yan said those words deliberately.
That's why he left in a hurry, his mind full of what his second cousin said: No matter what, he must get it first. Only by trapping the person by his side can he come up with a way to make Qi Yan fall in love with him...
In fact, he didn't want to nod and agree, but Shen Xiliu's intuition told him that if he lost this opportunity, perhaps... they would never have another chance.
As for the "boyfriend" mentioned by Qi Yan, Shen Xiliu knew the situation of the Jiang family very well. If he analyzed it rationally, he knew that it was most likely fake. There is a 90% chance that Qi Yan is Jiang Yuqing's shield, but if it is based on feelings...
Chen Xiliu didn't dare to think divergently, nor did he want to think about it.
Because that would make him appear despicable, shameless and mean, and would also make him clearly aware of how much Qi Yan likes Jiang Yuqing and how slim the chances are of him choosing him. So he dared not to think about it, and did not want to think about it, otherwise he would be trapped in the situation by jealousy and anger, completely lose his mind, and do something unforgivable.
By then, perhaps he and Qi Yan would truly have no chance at all.
Chen Xiliu knew very well that Qi Yan had some revengeful intentions towards him, so he deliberately said those words to disgust him and did some things to retaliate against him, but this was what he should bear...
How he treated Qi Yan in the past, Qi Yan will treat him back now.
What Chen Xiliu wanted was to seize the opportunity, solve the problems between them, and make Qi Yan see only him.
"Qi Yan, you seem to be in a good mood. Did anything interesting happen recently?"
On the way to send the boss home after get off work, Jiang Yuqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed that he was in a good mood.
"Well, sort of." Qi Yan said with a smile, "Find something interesting to do, you want to know?"
"No, looking at your expression, I'm not interested." Jiang Yuqing didn't have much to say. She just asked him not to pick her up next time, and praised him for looking good recently and not declining to the point of hurting Jiang Yuqing's eyes that were good at discovering beauty.
Jiang Yuqing was a nagging person to begin with, and she became even more nagging after she became pregnant. However, there were not many people who could chat with her. After all, it was not the safe month yet. Jiang Yuqing did not dare to tell others that she was pregnant, and could only chat with Qi Yan. From all the messy things, it was linked to Gu Yanxing, Zhang Hengyi, the Yi family, and then to the Shen family...
"Chen Xiliu is such a difficult person to deal with." Jiang Yuqing suddenly said with emotion. The person in charge of this cooperation project is Shen Xiliu. This is the first time he has come into contact with this person at work. He finally understands why the elders were not optimistic about him taking on this project. The other party is really difficult to deal with.
If Shen Xiliu had not intentionally promoted the cooperation and made some concessions, Jiang Yuqing believed that he was indeed no match for the other party in this regard. After all, he had spent most of his time on art before, so how could he be a rival to Shen Xiliu in business.
Qi Yan didn't say anything. He used to feel the same way, but not now.
After sending Jiang Yuqing home, Qi Yan did not get out of the car. He stared at his right hand wearing a black glove with an ambiguous look. The delicate black cloth was clinging to his palm, outlining the smooth contours of the distinct finger joints. He looked very slender, powerful and sexy, but there were wounds all over his hand under the cloth.
Shen Xiliu seemed to feel guilty about his right hand. Every time he deliberately did something to challenge his bottom line, Shen Xiliu was obviously very angry, but when he saw his right hand, he would fall silent, and finally nodded in agreement with gritted teeth...
"It's such a disgusting guilt."
Qi Yan smiled, took out his phone, and sent a message to Shen Xiliu. I'm not interested in going to his house tonight. If I want to do it, I'll choose a hotel. It's up to me or not.
The prompt "Input in Progress" will appear at the top of the phone screen immediately.
But ten minutes later, he finally uttered a word.
【good. 】
