Aftermath of breakup

Chapter 64

What Duan Xinglian meant was that he was very busy right now, so he didn't have the time or interest to think about these things, but he couldn't get rid of them.

Only when he has a stable target can he block all other temptations at once.

Pei Yi's eyelashes flicked when he heard this, apparently he didn't expect such help to be needed.

He pinched his palm with his fingertips, and then he heard his own voice trembling: "But I am..."

Both of them understood the unfinished words.

He is a man.

There will always be a secular hurdle between them, which was not completely crossed nine years ago.

But at this moment when Duan Xinglian heard the words, he tilted his head slightly, took a step back, and widened the distance between the two of them unconsciously. He looked at the green plants not far away, and naturally said something Pei Yi didn't like. know things.

"I'm out of the closet." Duan Xinglian's expression was very indifferent, and when he talked about it, it was like talking about today's weather, "I came out... very easy."

To Feng Li, the past that was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which ultimately hurt their muscles and bones, now looks like a feather falling on the surface of a lake, with only a few light ripples.

On Duan Xinglian's first day in college, at night when his new roommate was talking about what kind of girl he liked, Duan Xinglian sat in the shadow of the desk lamp and was silent for a while, but he said bluntly—"I I like boys."

At that time, the atmosphere in the dormitory was a little stagnant. Duan Xinglian didn't care about their opinions, he only followed his own heart, but he didn't want to offend people who were unacceptable, so he didn't live in the dormitory that night.

When he went back to school the next day, he was also thinking about whether to apply for off-campus accommodation, but he didn't want his roommates to occupy a seat and bring him breakfast as if nothing happened.

After that, Duan Xinglian didn't deliberately say anything about it, but he didn't hide it either. Once he got to know him a little bit, he knew his orientation.

His master's supervisor, Professor Wu from the School of Management, also knew about it, and the people he introduced to him later were all of the same sex with the same orientation.

After so many years, Duan Xinglian rarely encountered extremely strange eyes and fierce opposition, as if this was just a common thing.

It may also be that he didn't hear the rumors behind the scenes, but since he didn't hear it, why bother with so many?

All in all, what Feng Li and Duan Chengsen said back then was "this forked road full of thorns", but he really walked it alone, but found that it was nothing more than that.

But Duan Xinglian will not deny the sorrow of the past, he can only rejoice that he was born in a good era of gradual enlightenment.

And Pei Yi never really cared about it, when he heard Duan Xinglian say that, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, nodded after a while, and replied softly: "That's it."

But why did Duan Xinglian seek him?

As long as Duan Xinglian thinks about it, there are probably many people who are willing to agree to this contract.

Do not trust other people?Lin Siwei and Shao Yu are too familiar, so it's hard to explain in terms of family?

Or some other reason?

Pei Yi told himself not to think too much.

But it can't be done at all, why is it him?

Duan Xinglian also... didn't come out?Or do you have other plans?

But they have ended in a mess before, and now they are tied together in such an unclear way, will they really not have an embarrassing ending?

He had already decided not to bother, so would it be the best choice to have less contact with each other in the future?

If it was in the past or someone else was changed, Pei Yi would have to ask directly, and he has not changed in the past few years, and he still has that straightforward personality towards others. It's like losing courage, unable to be confident.

But Duan Xinglian may have seen through what he was thinking at this moment. He frowned slightly, pondered, seemed to be thinking about how to word, and finally explained slowly: "We high school students, there is no need to lay out the background. Others are very troublesome. Follow-up It is also difficult to solve, so you are the most suitable."

Pei Yi paused after hearing the words, and suddenly felt a hot feeling of being seen through.

But Duan Xinglian's tone was light, it sounded like he had just met, so he mentioned it to him casually. As for those past events, he didn't care about them a long time ago, that's why he was so natural.

"Do you have any concerns?" Duan Xinglian retreated, "If you find it inconvenient, forget it, and pretend I didn't say anything."

Sure enough, when Pei Yi heard this, his slender eyelashes flickered slightly, and he shook his head: "No, I have no worries."

The eyes of the outside world have never been a problem for him, the only thing he worries about is Duan Xinglian's thoughts.

But looking at it now, maybe Duan Xinglian had actually let go of it long ago, but he happened to be there because of the need.

Seeing that he seemed to be loose, Duan Xinglian hesitated for a while, and finally took out a trump card, but he still tried his best to speak plainly: "Isn't there something you owe me? Then this, is it okay?"

Pei Yi was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't expect Duan Xinglian to talk about the old agreement so calmly.

On the day of the breakup, Duan Xinglian mentioned this matter. At that time, he thought that Duan Xinglian would make a request at that time, but in the end he didn't, probably because he didn't want him to struggle.

At this moment, he raised it again, but it was not aimed at a major matter. If Pei Yi refused again, it would seem that the previous promise was too much of a joke.

And judging by Duan Xinglian's attitude, maybe he was really overthinking.

So he finally exhaled, nodded, and replied, "Yes."

Duan Xing raised his brows and twitched. He lowered his eyes to hide the scene in his eyes, and said: "Okay, it will be evened after that."

Then he said: "But this time I will use you, and I will benefit a lot, so you can ask for anything, anything."

Pei Yi lowered his head and shook his head slightly: "No."

Duan Xinglian smiled, and now that he drank some wine, his eyes were slightly red, and his smile had a romantic and unrestrained taste for no reason, he didn't say much about it.

"Okay, let's go." He passed Pei Yi and walked out of the box first, but when he passed by, he finally gave Pei Yi a chance to go back on his word, "If you can, start tomorrow, you go back tonight and think about it." Think, before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, if you feel inconvenient, you can stop at any time."

Pei Yi didn't answer this, Duan Xinglian waited for a while and then continued to walk forward.

Pei Yi followed not far behind him and also walked out.

Finally, they stopped at the entrance of Yanzilou, and Duan Xinglian's assistant drove over.

"Get in the car, let's go together." Duan Xinglian said.

Pei Yi paused, and actually wanted to ask him why he stayed in the hotel all the time.

But in the end, I still didn't ask it out, thinking that I shouldn't care so much.

So for the next part of the journey, the two of them didn't talk any more. I don't know if there was no topic or it was hard to talk.

When he entered the hotel elevator, Duan Xinglian took out his mobile phone, twitched his fingers casually, and said, "I'm leaving early tomorrow, how do you tell me after you've figured it out? Wechat or phone?"

Then he reported his phone number: "138——"

Halfway through reading, Pei Yi's eyes froze.

But Duan Xinglian noticed his reaction, it happened that the elevator stopped at the eighth floor at this time, he had to go, before he left, he casually said: "I thought you forgot."

Duan Xinglian's number has never changed over the years, but he has not waited for any thought from a foreign country.

"Before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, don't forget, I'm leaving first."

After Duan Xinglian finished speaking, he stepped forward.

Pei Yi watched his back until the elevator door closed.

He went back to his room and lay down after taking a shower.

He still didn't drink tonight, but his mind was inexplicably dizzy.

And Duan Xinglian gave him time to think about it, but in fact he had nothing to think about.

He has always felt that Duan Xinglian is what he says, and honey arsenic/cream is the same to him.

As long as he no longer exposes his blade to point at Duan Xinglian, it doesn't matter what Duan Xinglian wants to do to him.

Thinking of this, Pei Yi fell into a deep sleep. It was a rare good night's sleep for many years.

Early the next morning, Pei Yi woke up and read the paper for a while, then checked the time and found that it was past nine o'clock, he hesitated for a while, and finally dialed the number.

The time waiting for the call to be connected was a bit difficult, Pei Yi unconsciously grabbed the tassels of the curtains.

"Hello." Low Magnetic's voice came through the phone, a little distorted.

Pei Yi's mobile phone number was canceled a few months after he left the country. This is the number he applied for when he returned to China.

He pulled the tassel and said softly, "I'm Pei Yi, is it convenient for me to speak?"

"Convenience, have you thought about it?"

"Yeah." Pei Yi took a deep breath and asked, "Is it starting today?"

Duan Xinglian seemed to have a short laugh, and there was a smile in his voice when he spoke again: "Yes."

"Okay." Pei Yi didn't know how to operate, so he could only say, "If you need my cooperation, just tell me."

Duan Xinglian replied: "Okay, then it's settled, let's add a WeChat first, so that we can contact you conveniently."

After hanging up the phone, Duan Xinglian looked at the phone in a daze for a while, and then when he saw a friend application with the note of "Pei Yi" on WeChat, the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

But at this moment in the meeting room, the people who had been tremblingly reporting their work were a little confused when they saw their boss's expression suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.

Is this a treasure hunt?

The next moment Duan Xinglian raised his head, although his face was still familiar with a serious and serious smile, his tone softened.

"What are you in a daze for? Are you finished?"

"No no no."

"continue."

-

And here, Pei Yi looked at the newly added friends at the top of WeChat, repeatedly clicked into the dialog box, and watched the prompt "Now we start chatting", but didn't know what to say.

In the end, he didn't say anything. He clicked on the other party's homepage and looked at it, only to find that he could see it for three days, but nothing.

But Duan Xinglian's avatar and nickname have been changed. The avatar is a simple black background, and the nickname is a simple L. Pei Yi can't tell if it's the previous one.

He returned again, but he didn't expect a new message to appear in the dialog box.

[L: What's wrong? 】

Pei Yi took a closer look, only to realize that he had accidentally clicked on Pai Pai just now.

Suddenly feeling ashamed of being caught spying on others, Pei Yi felt uncomfortable for a while, and quickly replied.

【: No, it's fine. 】

Fortunately, Duan Xinglian didn't ask any more questions, and Pei Yi also felt that playing with his mobile phone too much was too harmful, so he quickly put the mobile phone away.

Later, he went to the Institute of Chemistry, and Director Liu specially approved a laboratory for them, so he spent a day in the laboratory justifiably.

When I came out again, I found that there were two more messages on the phone, and the interval between the two messages was half an hour.

[L: Are you in a hotel? 】

[L: Waiting for you at the door. 】

When Pei Yi saw this, he just walked to the door. When he raised his eyes, he saw a Maybach parked not far away. Duan Xinglian was wearing a long black trench coat and was leisurely standing beside the car.

Pei Yi came out alone, and Professor Lu and Xia Pa went to the hot spring in the afternoon.

But there were other colleagues from the Chemical Research Institute who came out, and they couldn't help casting a glance there when they passed by, and then let out a low exclamation.

Pei Yi blinked and walked towards him.

Duan Xinglian was thinking about something with his head down, but when he looked up, Pei Yi had already walked in front of him.

Duan Xinglian smiled, and asked first, "Did the experiment go well today?"

The words were as natural as if this scene had been repeated countless times, Pei Yi was a little stunned for a moment.

I can only answer along the way: "Successful."

Duan Xinglian nodded, then opened the car door for him.

Pei Yi followed his movements and got into the car, and soon Duan Xinglian came around and sat down in the driver's seat beside him.

Before starting the car, Duan Xinglian suddenly asked a question that he hadn't had time to do before, and perhaps subconsciously avoided: "How long will you stay this time?"

Pei Yi glanced at him.

Originally, Professor Lu's plan was only ten days, and they should go back in about a week.

It's just that now that he has agreed to Duan Xinglian, then one month is indispensable.

Pei Yi replied truthfully: "It was originally ten days."

Duan Xinglian pondered for a moment, lowered his eyes and smiled, and said inexplicably: "It's quite hasty."

Back and forth in a hurry, presumably in his original plan, there was no reunion of old people.

If I hadn't met in Shili that day or at the cooperation meeting.

He would never know that Pei Yi had come and gone.

In the end, Duan Xing put away these emotions, and at the same time he understood the "original" in Pei Yi's words.

——He will abide by the agreement and extend his stay.

So Duan Xinglian just asked: "The plan has changed, is it convenient?"

"It's okay, the doctor's defense over there is over."

Pei Yi finished his dissertation defense before returning to China. During this period of time, he had nothing to do. He was waiting to join Professor Lu's research group after July. It was just that he himself didn't want to be idle before, and spent almost every holiday in the laboratory.

But as long as he wants, he can have a long vacation.

Duan Xinglian didn't ask any more questions until now, and started the car and drove forward.

After driving for a while, Pei Yi asked suspiciously, "Where are we going?"

"It took me so long to ask, are you afraid that I will sell you?"

These words were familiar, Pei Yi was taken aback for a moment, he looked ahead and didn't speak.

Duan Xinglian also came to his senses, and answered after a while: "A date."

Pei Yi glanced over.

Duan Xinglian turned the steering wheel, and then added to cover it up: "The love contract was successfully signed, both parties A and B celebrate, and hope that the future cooperation will be happy."

Pei Yi was silent, and classified this matter into the official section that deserves to be treated with caution like the experiment, and replied: "Okay... Happy cooperation."
