Zhuang Yi couldn't suppress his anger, and waved to throw the medicine box into the cage.
"Don't!" Xun Yuming hastily stopped him, "If you let the two of you take this medicine, it will be broken."
"I ate it, so you're not afraid?" Zhuang Yi looked at him suspiciously, "You have a need, why didn't you tell me? Could it be that I can't give it back to you?"
"No... that's not what I meant." Xun Yuming really wanted to slap Cen Ji's head off with a slap, the bastard killed him, "That's really not what I meant, they must have intentionally tricked us."
"Then hurry up and throw it away!" Zhuang Yi angrily snatched the box of medicine for treating "not good" and threw it into the trash can, "See how I will punish you later."
He pinched the throbbing temples, and slapped Xun Yuming's little red mole: "Go quickly, go to the airport."
I want you to look good tonight.
He slandered silently.
Xun Yuming pursed his lips and did not refute. It was rare to see Zhuang Yi deflated, he really wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to, for fear that if he raised the corners of his lips a little, it would be gloating in the other party's eyes.
He obediently followed Zhuang Yi, walked to the parking lot, opened the car door, and got into the co-pilot.
Zhuang Yi's thin lips were tightly pursed, his brows were furrowed, and his face was very gloomy. He drove the car without saying a word, his foot didn't look like the gas pedal, but he seemed to calm the heads of the six of them.
The car was driving recklessly on the viaduct, Xun Yuming tightly grasped the handle on the upper right with both hands, quietly looked at his expression from the corner of his eye, not daring to breathe.
After finally getting to the airport, Zhuang Yi slammed on the brakes and said coldly, "Get out of the car."
Xun Yuming quickly took off his seat belt, opened the car door with trembling hands, and let out a long sigh of relief, braving the "huhu" wind that poured into his neckline. His feet felt weak, he shrugged his shoulders and walked to the front of the car, looking at Zhuang Yi.
"Call Angus." Zhuang Yi stepped out of the car, pressed the open skirt with his left hand, slammed the car door with his right hand, and pressed the lock button on the door handle.
His suit jacket was covered with mashed bananas, and he was wearing a black cashmere windbreaker at the moment. The slim fit made him gentle and elegant.
Xun Yuming was only wearing a thin sweater. It wasn't cold when he went out in the morning. He didn't bring a jacket. Who would have thought that the weather would change at night, and now his fingers were shaking from the cold, and he failed to unlock it after entering the password twice.
Zhuang Yi took off his coat and put it on him, took the phone and asked, "What's the password?"
"It's the same as yours." Xun Yuming put his sleeves into his sleeves and wrapped himself tightly, but saw him standing in the wind wearing only a black shirt, frowning: "I don't want to wear your clothes, you will catch a cold soon!"
Zhuang Yi pressed his arm to keep him from taking it off, found Angus' phone number, and dialed the speakerphone.
Xun Yuming dragged him to the waiting hall, while talking on the phone with Angus, the voice on the receiver was as gentle as before, without any sense of tension, as if they were still the close teacher-student pair before.
The two walked to the second floor of the terminal building, and Will was standing far away under the big screen, waving at them.
Zhuang Yi walked over with Xun Yuming in his arms, Angus came up to him and said with a smile, "Why are you here to see me off so late?"
"I have to come here no matter how late it is." Xun Yuming twitched the corners of his mouth, he really couldn't give a sincere smile, so he could only try his best to perfunctory, "Bon voyage, sir."
He always called Angus Professor, but today he called him Sir, implying that he would no longer consider him a teacher in the future.
Angus was slightly taken aback, and nodded with his usual expression: "Thank you, take care."
"You too." Xun Yuming had no expression on his face, in fact he had exhausted all his kindness to be able to stand here properly.
Angus has been watching him, with a faint smile on his face, which doesn't make sense, it seems to be mocking, but it seems to be pity. Will checked the time and reminded him that it was time to board the plane. Angus agreed, picked up his bag and walked towards the security check.
Xun Yuming originally had a lot to say and wanted to question him, but since he was confused and unwilling to be more wronged, he couldn't even say a word when facing him.
Watching Angus's receding back at this moment, he clearly realized a reality in his mind: If you don't ask about some things now, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to ask them again for the rest of your life.
"—Sir!" Xun Yuming couldn't bear it any longer, he raised his foot and chased after him.
Angus just walked to the security check gate with his purse in his hand, when he heard his call, he came back and asked, "What's the matter, Xun?"
"I..." Xun Yuming stared at his light blue eyes, emotions suddenly surged, and he didn't know what to say for a while, what to say could express his mood just in case.
He swallowed his throat and said in English: "I have filed a lawsuit against you, you know, about the wrong genetic screening report."
"I see." Angus was not surprised at all, and his face was calm. He had obviously received the news from the genetic laboratory, but he was still able to maintain his demeanor just now.
This composure, or thick-skinnedness, made Xun Yuming feel ashamed.
"I'm sorry that things turned out like this." He said calmly: "I didn't know about this in advance, and the laboratory will compensate you according to your requirements."
"Discretionary compensation?" Xun Yuming couldn't believe his ears. He thought he would at least give himself an apology, or an explanation, but he didn't expect it to be just "compensation".
He thought that the torment and suffering he had suffered in these years, and the suffering and pain of being separated from Zhuang Yi for many years, could it be made up for by an understatement of "compensation"
"What do you think compensate me to turn back time?"
"I've said it, I'm sorry." Angus shrugged, pursed his lips and shook his head, "But this incident is not the fault of the laboratory itself, is it?"
"What do you mean?" Xun Yuming only felt that he was becoming more and more blurred in his eyes, the blood all over his body was rushing straight to the top of his head, the sound of the carotid artery "thumping" became more and more clear, and his hands couldn't help shaking.
Angus smiled and said, "I know you can't accept that, but is it really just the laboratory's fault for making a wrong gene report? Why are so many people doing tests, but only your report is wrong?"
"You sent two blood samples at the beginning. Is there no possibility of contamination in the middle? Did you meet the process standards when you took blood?"
Every time Xun Yuming heard what he said, the anger in his heart became more intense, and the grievance and anger were like an iron stove, which made his whole body sizzling.
"I'm not trying to shirk responsibility for the laboratory, but to tell the truth." Angus was laughing, and he could still laugh, "You blame the laboratory, can't you face it, 'make mistakes yourself' What about this result?"
Xun Yuming clenched his fists tightly, a layer of veins popped out on the back of his hand, and ten joints were distinctly uneven.
The airport hall where people were coming and going suddenly disappeared, and countless molecules exploded in his ears, buzzing and humming.
Angus stood in front of him as usual, but faded away all the beautifying filters. For the first time, Xun Yuming felt that he was so shameless for the first time in his life.
"You fuck-"
"—Obviously!" Zhuang Yi was afraid that he would tear up his face with Angus before the lawsuit, and that he would lose unnecessary grounds.
Before Xun Yuming could finish speaking, he interrupted, "It's getting late, let Mr. Angus board the plane first, let's ask the lawyer to tell you anything."
He put his left hand on Xun Yuming's left shoulder, squeezed his thin shoulder blades firmly, looked down at him with eyes like a calm sea, deep and calm.
Xun Yuming looked into his eyes, the boiling blood slowly cooled down, turned his head with a cold face, and didn't make another sound.
Zhuang Yi looked at Angus expressionlessly, and waved his right hand, signaling him to leave quickly.
Angus twitched his lips, took two steps, and then came back and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you."
He smiled gently, "I also participated in the selection panel for the last Feld Award. In fact, your number of votes in the first round was the same as that of the original Hopkins winner, so everyone voted among you again." second round."
"At that time, I thought his research was more valuable, so I persuaded another judge who supported you to vote against you in the second round with me. I didn't expect that person's life to be short, and you still won the prize. luck."
"... What did you say?" Xun Yuming heard a "boom" in his head, his footsteps trembled, and he almost fell.
Angus shrugged: "I didn't want to tell you, but you really think highly of yourself."
Xun Yuming's mind was thundering, and there was a dead silence in his ears, and he could no longer hear any sound. He blinked, took two steps back, and twitched the corners of his mouth in a half-smile instead of a smile.
"Mingming." Zhuang Yisheng was afraid that he would faint, so he quickly reached out to help him, "Mingming, look at me!"
Like a drunken madman, Xun Yuming staggered a few times, suddenly, he rushed forward, and punched Angus with a "bang", and there was a real muffled sound from the bone to the flesh.
The people around him including Zhuang Yi were stunned. Xun Yuming had never done anything in his life, this was the first time in history.
Even he himself couldn't believe it, but his consciousness couldn't control his movements. When he found that his fist was swinging towards Angus, his brain didn't even react. When he looked again, Angus was already lying down with blood on the corner of his mouth. on the ground.
He stared at his hand in a daze, feeling as if someone was grabbing his arm, then his cheek was cold and hit the marble floor, and the next moment, he was dragged up by someone, his movements were so rough that it couldn't be Zhuang Yi.
Xun Yuming's foreground "swipes" back, he tried to find Zhuang Yi, but he couldn't see anything clearly. The world around him is like a rough silent film, everyone is shaking, everyone is talking, only he can't hear anything.
When his hearing recovered again, he was already sitting in an airtight room with white walls and white lights that made his eyes sore. Xun Yuming wanted to stand up, but he snapped his wrist, but was chained to the chair.
He looked down at the stainless steel chair, then at the white plastic table opposite, and suddenly realized: This must be the airport police office or the nearest police station. He beat someone up and made trouble just now, so he must have been subdued by the security personnel.
Xun Yuming suddenly felt it was ridiculous, and couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, "Hiss—" There was a tingling pain on the side of his cheek, which was the place where he knocked just now.
He raised his ears and heard people outside the door arguing in low voices, some in English and some in Chinese.
Among them was a Chinese-speaking voice that Xun Yuming was very familiar with. It was Zhuang Yi, and the one who wanted to speak English was Angus' assistant Will.
He sighed, staring blankly at his toes.
After a while, the door lock rustled twice, and a policewoman in a blue uniform walked in. She combed her ear-length short hair, looked sharp, but her expression was terrifyingly serious.
Taking advantage of her closing the door, Zhuang Yi nodded towards Xun Yuming, with the word "Don't be afraid". Xun Yuming smiled, turned his face away and said nothing, his whole body hurts now, but he just wanted to laugh.
It's all so ridiculous.
"Can you still laugh?" The female policeman sat behind the plastic table with the transcript, and asked him as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "Name, age, occupation, education level, tell me."
"My name is Xun Yuming, I'm looking for Xun..." Xun Yuming drooped his shoulders, explaining his personal information calmly, his eyes were full of despair, and even the fear was gone.
When the policewoman heard him say "I'm a doctor from Xiwan Hospital", she raised her head suddenly: "Was that you on TV a while ago?"
"It's me." Xun Yuming nodded.
The female police officer obviously didn't expect that a person of his status would openly act violently at the airport, and her attitude softened a lot, "Then why did you hit someone?"
"Why?" He didn't understand why, he was driven by impulse, driven by anger, and he swung his fist involuntarily.
Xun Yuming took a deep breath and didn't know where to start, so he could only describe the grievances and hatreds with Angus over the years from the beginning to the end.
I thought that if I mentioned these things again, I would feel sore in my heart, but I didn't expect to say it so calmly, as if I was out of it.
"I see, you wait here for a while." The female police officer got up and went out, discussed something with someone, and soon came back and said: "Seeing that your attitude is not bad, and the victim will not be held accountable, This time I will let you go. Within fifteen working days, go to the designated bank and pay the fine."
Xun Yuming thanked her, asked her to uncuff her, moved her wrists and walked out.
Zhuang Yi was waiting in the corridor at the door. Seeing him coming out, he handed him a cup of hot milk tea first, "How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
It just so happened that the female police officer came out of the back room, and she rolled her eyes when she heard the words, she was not beaten or scolded, but just sat inside for a while, how could she be uncomfortable
"I'm fine." Xun Yuming smiled, took a sip of the milk tea, "Go and get the administrative penalty."
"Do you still know the administrative penalty list?" Zhuang Yi deliberately teased him, "It seems that this is not the first time he committed a crime, and he entered the palace for the second time."
Xun Yuming curled his mouth and did not answer.
Zhuang Yi looked at him carefully, always felt that something was wrong, he was still the same person, but he couldn't see Xun Yuming in his eyes, it seemed that what stood beside him was just an empty shell, but his soul disappeared.
"You wait for me." Zhuang Yi asked him to stand at the gate of the police station, went to the office to get the punishment ticket, and came out and said, "Come with me."
He dragged the people out of the yard and stopped under a quiet and deserted tree. The roadside lights leaked through the sparse leaves, casting a veil on each other's faces.
Zhuang Yi held his shoulder and said seriously: "Mingming, listen to me: no matter when, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. Even if you are wronged greatly, don't be discouraged, because You and me. Do you understand?"
Xun Yuming looked at him and smiled, before nodding, a tear hit Zhuang Yi's heart hard.
"I see."
