inferior possession

Chapter 51

The room was dark and a bit cold, so the deer curled up on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, staring at the flickering video in a daze.

Nearly eleven o'clock, there was a sound from the entrance, that is, the deer raised his head, saw Duan Congzhen hanging his coat at the door, and swallowed unconsciously.

"Didn't sleep again." Duan Congzhen glanced at him, said something noncommittal, and went to the table to pour water.

"Waiting for you." Said the deer.

Duan Congzhen didn't speak. After drinking a glass of water, he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the sofa.

He seems to be in a good mood recently, probably because the research is progressing smoothly, and he heard Li Jie on the phone, if he continues to maintain this momentum, it is very likely that he will be able to successfully win funding from the Medicine Federation.

"What movie?" Duan Congzhen sat down next to him and glanced at the screen.

"I don't know." Ji Lu shook his head, "Just pick it."

Duan Congzhen picked up the disc and looked at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Broken Blue Bridge?"

"Don't you like it?" Ji Lu asked, looking at him hesitantly.

"I don't like it." Duan Congzhen said bluntly, looking at Ji Lu's stiff expression, he found it funny, "I don't like any movies."

"Oh." Ji Lu responded, picked up the remote control, "Then turn it off."

"Keep watching if you like it. Leave me alone."

"It doesn't matter." Jilu shook his head and shrunk his neck, "I'm not watching either."

It was only then that Duan Congzhen noticed his abnormality, tilted his head, stared at him probingly, and frowned slightly before asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Lu froze for a moment, his Adam's apple slipped.

"Not interested?" Duan Congzhen asked.

Ji Lu licked the corners of his dry lips, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Lin Nai had an accident at school."

"Oh." Duan Congzhen replied lazily.

"It was a small explosion in the laboratory, and he was implicated."

"Scientific experiments are full of accidents," Duan Congzhen chuckled, seemingly indifferent, "it's not a rare event."

"Yes. But... does this matter have anything to do with you?" Ji Lu raised his eyes, his eyes were a little tentative, and he looked very pitiful.

Duan Congzhen's eyes were fixed, and he slowly turned his head, staring at Ji Lu's eyes for a moment, making Ji Lu's heart tremble, until he looked away in fear, Duan Congzhen withdrew his aggressive gaze.

"No." Duan Congzhen said calmly, "I have never been to their school, and besides, anyone can enter the laboratory? You are overthinking."

Ji Lu wanted to ask if it was true, but he didn't ask.

"Besides," Duan Congzhen looked at him with a smile, with a slight contempt in his eyes, "Even if I say I did it, what are you going to do? Call the police?"

Ji Lu paused, lowered his head, and smiled wryly, "I can't do anything."

Don't mention that he has no evidence, and he can't trap Duan Congzhen in injustice.

"That's enough." Duan Congzhen smiled, and glanced at him with some pleasure, "Since you can't do anything, why ask?"

"Yes." Ji Lu pulled the corners of his lips and clenched his fists, "I'm talking too much."

"That's not enough." Duan Congzhen's mood is really good recently, and he didn't get angry with him. He raised his hand and brushed the slightly long hair on his forehead, and said suddenly, "Your hair has grown long."

"Yeah." Ji Lu casually scratched absent-mindedly, "It's grown."

"Would you like to cut it off or tie it up?"

Duan Congzhen curled his hair with his fingers, and the curls became shorter and shorter, but he didn't intend to let go, that is, the deer could only lean slightly towards it, so as not to be hurt by him.

Even the deer wanted to say it was fine, but the scalp on his forehead hurt slightly, so he changed his mind, "Cut it off."

Thinking of being dragged by him like this if he didn't cut it, Ji Lu felt numb in his heart.

"what ever."

Duan Congzhen didn't have any objections, he opened his palm, inserted his fingers into his hair, clenched it tighter, and pulled his hair to kiss him.

Feeling the man's breathing getting heavier and heavier, that is to say, the deer was dazed, flinched a little, raised his arms to block between the two, and sighed softly, "Brother Duan, I don't want to do it today."

"Why?" Duan Congzhen asked, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Not very comfortable."

Duan Congzhen stared at him for a while, then let go of his hand, "Oh, that's up to you."

"Where are you going?" Ji Lu stared blankly at the people walking towards the door.

Duan Congzhen looked at him and smiled slightly, "Find someone who is comfortable."

"..."

"By the way," Duan Congzhen thought of something, grabbed the remote control, "keep watching your TV."

"Goodbye." Duan Congzhen sneered and slammed the door.

Ji Lu's throat choked up, and he didn't say anything. When he turned his head, he saw a new British drama playing on the screen. When he saw the title of the drama that flashed, Ji Lu suddenly opened his eyes.

A few numbers hang on the screen:

"Deer Hunting"

I don't know whether Duan Congzhen did it on purpose or not, but Ji Lu's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt shuddering. Looking at the flashing subtitles, Ji Lu grabbed his phone and searched for the English title.

STAG.

meaning is,

"A castrated stag."

·

That is, the deer entered the laboratory.

Most of the bodyguards and guards of Kelin Biotechnology knew him, and at first they had to explain to them that Dr. Duan asked him to come, and after repeated proofs, they were willing to let him go. Now they just need to take off their masks and show their faces. She nodded familiarly and opened the door for him.

"Thank you." Ji Lu replied feebly, followed the path he had traveled thousands of times to enter, took the elevator down to the second floor, and then came out.

The underground laboratory is extremely cold, probably because it is necessary to maintain a low temperature for the preservation of the medicine.

Ji Lu shuddered, twitched his fingertips, and walked through the empty corridor to the deepest laboratory.

Duan Congzhen hadn't come out of the examination room yet, he was still busy, and was received by the assistant.

"Brother Lu is here." The assistant greeted him, and said while taking off the protective clothing, "I'll get you some water."

Seeing that it was inconvenient for him, Ji Lu picked up the paper cup and smiled, "I'll go by myself, don't bother."

Walking to the remote tea room, Ji Lu suddenly heard a low voice, depressing, intermittent, like crying.

After a pause in his footsteps, Ji Lu frowned slightly, looked back at the empty corridor rather taboo, and was sweating for him.

Dare to hide here and cry under Duan Congzhen's nose, which experimenter will die.

The fingertips knocked on the wall of the paper cup unconsciously, that is to say, the deer closed its eyes, took a deep breath, loosened its toes, and walked inside.

Sensing someone coming at the door, the man stopped talking for a moment, turned his head abruptly, and met Ji Lu's indifferent eyes.

The indifferent eyes suddenly froze, and Lu recognized at a glance that this person was the experimenter who came up to deliver candy and asked for leave that day.

His wife was about to give birth, so he came to Duan Congzhen to ask for paternity leave, and suffered a lot from being dumb.

The man's eyes that the deer will never forget.

He forgot what he was doing, Ji Lu looked at him and lowered his head in a hurry, wiping his tears with his sleeves, his mind went blank for a while, and he opened his mouth, only the most pale comfort, "Are you okay?"

The man shook his head wildly, moved his feet, and seemed to want to leave here, but he was so exhausted that he couldn't move, he could only support the wall to maintain his balance.

Seeing that his condition was really bad, the deer reacted, put down the cup in his hand, and stepped forward to support him.

"what happened to you?"

Ji Lu was puzzled and a little embarrassed, so he helped him to a chair and sat down, and felt the paper for him from his pocket.

The man took the paper and thanked him in a low voice, his throat was still dry and his voice was hoarse.

It is guessed that he probably encountered some difficulties, even if the deer didn't know about it, he didn't dare to inquire about it rashly.

Seeing that he had already returned to work, Ji Lu thought that he should have a baby. After thinking about it, he saw that his mood had calmed down a bit. She turned her head to look at him and asked softly, "Is sister-in-law okay? Is the baby a boy or a girl?" "

I thought this would make the man feel better, but as soon as the words fell, the man's pupils changed, and he was immediately tainted with despair.

Before Jilu could react, he saw the experimenter slowly clenching the paper in his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "It's a boy."

Before Ji Lu could say anything, I heard him say again,

"……already dead."

Ji Lu suddenly opened his eyes wide, "What—"

The man didn't continue to cry, but his eyes were full of remorse and helplessness, and the voice seemed to come from afar, "He died less than an hour after he was born...the doctor rescued him for two hours, but he still couldn't save him." ...Mingmei was crying all the time, she was crying when she left the delivery room, she grabbed my clothes and asked if our baby would..."

He didn't continue to ask what was the reason, for fear of continuing to touch the sad things of the man, even if a deer was stuck in his throat, looking at his haggard and vicissitudes of life, his heart felt as if it was being squeezed by something, it was so tight that it hurt.

He still remembered that when the man came to share the candy, although he was tired, he also had a happy smile on his face. He and Miss Mingmei should be very harmonious.

Finally, their child was born, but died in less than an hour, without even crying a few times, and bid farewell to this world in a hurry.

Swallowing with difficulty, the deer drooped his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, after a while, he still raised his hand, gently put his arm around the man's shoulder and patted him, comforting him in the most common but powerful way.

He couldn't say anything like mourning, because everyone knew that this was impossible, and saying such things rashly was undoubtedly adding salt to the wound.

Ji Lu just wanted to comfort him, but he didn't expect that his actions would be seen by Duan Congzhen.

When a shadow appeared at the door of the tea room, Ji Lu didn't even pay attention until he caught a glimpse of a person sitting down slowly beside him from the corner of his eye.

"Bambi."

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Lu was stunned, and suddenly raised his head, and Duan Congzhen was watching him.

The arm still maintained the posture of half-embracing the person, that is, the deer's pupils trembled slightly, his breathing was a little short, and various possibilities flashed through his mind, and then disappeared.

Duan Congzhen lowered his eyes, glanced casually at Jilu's arm on the man's shoulder, raised his eyebrows with interest, smiled contemptuously and regretfully, shook his head slowly, raised his hand to stroke Jilu's cheek, his eyes suddenly become cold,

"Bambi, this is not good."
