There was only the sound of the TV in the living room. Both Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming's eyes were fixed on Chen Qizhao. When Zhang Yazhi came over, he glanced at the father and son in surprise, "What's the matter? The work is over?"
"It's almost over." Chen Shiming opened his mouth to break the silence, "Mom, have you explained what happened in the kitchen?"
"Well, I've explained it." Zhang Yazhi looked at Chen Shiming, noticed that the medicine bowl on the table was empty, and felt relieved.
Chen Qizhao sat in the living room for a while, listening to Zhang Yazhi nagging about how to arrange the birthday banquet on Wednesday. He listened and looked at the message from Shen Yuhuai on his mobile phone. Shen Yuhuai had just arrived home and replied to the message he sent.
[-Shen Yuhuai: Did you take pictures at night? ]
[- Zhao: Shooting what? ]
[-Shen Yuhuai: Taken before dinner. ]
Chen Qizhao stopped for a while, flipped through the photo album on his phone, and turned to the photo he took when the two went out to dinner at night.
The two still went to Huang's restaurant for dinner in the evening. At that time, he found an excuse to take pictures of the noodles, and took a few pictures of Shen Yuhuai. There are several photos of Shen Yuhuai hidden in the album. Chen Qizhao picked it up, and finally found a good one among the several photos of the meal and sent it out.
[-Shen Yuhuai: Just one? ]
[- Zhao: Just one. ]
Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly, put a few other photos into another album, and noticed Zhang Yazhi looking at him when he looked up.
"Look at the photos?" Zhang Yazhi asked.
Chen Qizhao crossed out the background, "Well, where did you just say?"
"Speaking of how many friends you have come over." Zhang Yazhi was looking at the guest list.
"Just Yan Kailin and the others, I'll send you a vx later." Chen Qizhao said.
After Zhang Yazhi finished the matter, Chen Qizhao proposed to go back to the room to take a bath and rest.
During this time, Chen Qizhao also went to bed early. Zhang Yazhi knew that he had been out to play all day today, and now he should be very tired, "Well, let's go."
Zhang Yazhi continued to watch TV, and was completely uninterested in the work of the father and son. Chen Jianhong's eyes followed Chen Qizhao until he disappeared at the end of the living room, and then he took back the documents that he looked at on the desktop.
Chen Shiming said politely, "Dad."
Chen Jianhong responded, and the two got up and walked upstairs.
Chen Shiming didn't follow him directly to the study, but first called the city bureau's criminal police team before following him to the study.
An orange lamp hangs high in the study, and the documents on the table are neat and tidy.
After Chen Shiming closed the door, he hesitated for a while, "I didn't tell Qi Zhao in advance about the ambush I encountered at noon."
In the living room just now, they talked about the situation of the Gu family. Considering Zhang Yazhi's presence, they didn't directly mention the ambush in the underground garage of the Chen Group, but Chen Qizhao naturally listed this as the premise of Gu Zhengsong's action. Base. Chen Shiming knew that Chen Qizhao had an unknown path, and he was not against Chen Qizhao's involvement in this matter, but was a little worried that Chen Qizhao would be involved too much.
It was risky enough to follow the police to the hotel before. To what extent Gu Zhengsong and Gu Shen exchanged information, they do not have a clear concept now. It is very likely that Gu Shen already knows that Chen Qizhao is not ordinary. The more things involved, the easier it is to confuse Chen Qizhao. Involved in danger.
Naturally, it couldn't be what Chen Qizhao said, 'I'm just making a suggestion'. They also only learned today that there was news leaked from outside, and Chen Shiming didn't have time to let Special Assistant Xu pass the news to Chen Qizhao, but he had to. Said that if the hypothesis of this suggestion is true, then Gu Zhengsong's next actions are particularly critical.
"I'm worried..." Chen Shiming was halfway through.
Chen Jianhong interrupted: "At least now, he has told us the matter."
If Chen Qizhao didn't care about this matter at all, or wanted to solve it alone, then he would not take the initiative to talk to them, nor would he so obviously use the method of 'making suggestions' to express his views.
Neither father and son spoke. The current situation is actually much better than before.
Some things can't be done by force. Chen Shiming thought about the things that happened during this period, adding up to more than the past ten years. It is difficult for people to think about everything, and they can't forcefully demand that Chen Qizhao take all All kinds of things are said, and the gap of time is standing there. Family relationships are not achieved overnight, and some things can only be taken slowly.
Chen Shiming saw Chen Jianhong, who was sitting in the front seat, looking at his mobile phone. He paused for a moment: "I talked to the police station on the phone."
Chen Jianhong raised his head: "It's hard work."
The father and son did not stay in the study for too long. After briefly discussing the remaining arrangements, Chen Shiming left the study. He asked the servant to bring a cup of warm water, and after returning to the room, he arranged other things before he could relax. Reply to messages on your phone.
It's just that when he clicked into the circle of friends, he was drawn to Chen Qizhao's circle of friends in the circle of friends of business friends.
Chen Qizhao only posted one photo, which just happened to take the three family members inside. Chen Shiming clicked on the photo and looked at it for a while. Finally, he liked the back of the circle of friends. After the like, he clicked into Chen Qizhao's other circles of friends. When he was about to scroll down, he suddenly looked at Chen Qizhao's avatar. .
Chen Shiming seldom pays attention to the vx avatar. He has never changed his own vx avatar since he started working. For him, vx is a convenient online chat job, which is convenient for contacting work partners or business partners.
Now he looked at Chen Qizhao's avatar, clicked on the big picture, and saw a mobile phone in the photo that didn't quite understand the meaning.
Chen Qizhao's mobile phone is a case, not this kind of transparent case... Is it a net picture found on the Internet
Chen Shiming just thought, after quitting Chen Qizhao's Moments, he casually scrolled down a few Moments, and suddenly saw Shen Yu Huaifa's Moments 2 hours ago. Some time ago, I chatted with Shen Yuhuai a lot, and they talked about family matters. Chen Shiming rarely saw Shen Yuhuai when he occasionally flipped through the circle of friends. Now that he saw Shen Yuhuai's circle of friends, he couldn't help but stop.
Shen Xuelan was flamboyant and Shen Yuhuai was restrained.
Shen Xuelan could make three or four Moments a day, either for business dinners or on business trips, and each Moments was a record she wanted to promote. Shen Yuhuai is different. Chen Shiming has never seen his circle of friends. When he clicks in, he occasionally sees professional things, and there are few traces of life.
The dishes in the picture are Chinese food, they should be going out to eat with Chen Qizhao, and simply photographed the food and noodles.
The composition is pretty good, a little moody.
Chen Shiming was thinking about it when he suddenly saw the mobile phone in the corner of the photo. The mobile phone was placed on the table. It was an upside-down transparent mobile phone case, and the style of the mobile phone on the back could be seen, so it was probably clear which model it was.
Judging from the style of the phone... it's not the phone used by Chen Qizhao.
Chen Shiming was slightly surprised, whose phone is this? He looked a little familiar at the background of the meal, as if he had seen it somewhere.
But soon, he hesitated to think of another thing, didn't Chen Qizhao go out to dinner with Shen Yuhuai at night? Or that Chen Qizhao didn't go out with Shen Yuhuai at night, but did something else...
The night is getting quieter and quieter, and you can still hear the cicadas that belong to summer outside.
Going out to play all day was not as tired as Chen Qizhao imagined, and he was still in good spirits when he was lying on the bed after taking a shower. Some information flickered through his mind. For a while, he thought of the scene where he just sat in the living room and watched a TV series together, and then thought of the actions of Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming when he was hospitalized. All kinds of strange emotions came up, and Chen Qizhao said no. out feeling.
The phone buzzed, and Chen Qizhao picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was a private chat from Yan Kailin, calling him to look at the group.
The group was not too big. It was Yan Kailin's people. There were only 4 people in it. Apart from them, only Cheng Rong and Liu Kai were left. Zhang Yazhi said that he was going to hold a birthday party and asked Chen Qizhao to invite some friends. Chen Qizhao simply said it in the group. As a result, these people were discussing what gifts to give him all day.
[-Yan Kailin: There seems to be nothing else, brother, let me give you a pair of shoes. 】
[-Liu Kai: Why do you send shoes every day, you sent high heels for Brother Rong's girlfriend's birthday before, and I heard that you also sent shoes on Shen Yuhuai's birthday last time? 】
[-Yan Kailin: I can't think of it @Cheng Rong, what are you sending, copy the homework for me. 】
[-Cheng Rong: How can you ask in front of people when you give gifts? 】
Before Chen Qizhao had finished reading the news of the group, Yan Kailin's phone number came quickly.
"Brother, have you watched the group?" Yan Kailin hesitated for a while and said, "I really can't think of what to give, why don't you just say what you want."
Chen Qizhao hadn't really had a birthday for a long time. The so-called birthday in the past was just to remind him of the past year after year, to remind him that he was one year older, and to remind him that some people with heinous crimes are still at large. Now seeing these friends go to great lengths to prepare him a birthday present, it's like really returning to a carefree 19-year-old, thinking not about the future, but the present.
"Speak straight?" Chen Qizhao laughed, "Have you been rich recently?"
"Isn't that why I performed well some time ago? My brother's living expenses for the past two months are okay." Yan Kailin said, "Don't be polite to me, just tell me what gift you want, I have it too. Xiaojinku, I missed your birthday before, and now I'm finally in the country..."
Chen Qizhao: "Then give me shoes."
"Ah?" Yan Kailin thought about it for a long time and didn't think of anything, and ran to ask the birthday star to go around and return to the matter of delivering shoes, "Are you really delivering shoes?"
Chen Qizhao chatted with Yan Kailin for a while, the voice in the receiver was extraordinarily loud, and with Yan Kailin's loud voice, it didn't seem to be too abrupt. After hanging up the phone, he saw that the group was still chatting, and after replying a few words casually, he clicked on the message to check.
There are only so many messages on the phone, and he can't go back to his youth to communicate with college classmates. In the past, there were a lot of college classmates, but now, in addition to the class groups that receive messages and teachers of various subjects Outside of the group's course group, he didn't have a single group chat, and it was empty and happy. It took him too long to recall his classmates who had been in college for four years in his previous life, and there were only a handful of faces he could remember.
Their majors are different, the strong students enter the research institute or stay in the school to teach, and the other students change careers one by one.
Chen Qizhao can also be regarded as a career change, reading artificial intelligence, and finally went to work in finance.
The light in the room was on, Chen Qizhao swept to the bookshelf in the distance, saw one or two professional books, and vaguely remembered what was written inside. He couldn't help sitting up again, went to the bookshelf to pick out the books that had accumulated dust, opened the pages and saw the beautiful and upright handwriting inside, and he felt like he had passed away. The handwriting when he was young was indeed like this.
Now Chen Qizhao's handwriting is a little more scribbled. Looking at the notes in the folder, he can vaguely recognize the similar fonts.
Reading journals is one thing, reading professional books is another. His foundation is still there. Even if he was tired of other work in those years, some deep-muscle program memory seems to be instinctive. Re-reading these theoretical knowledge seems to be no different. too long.
Do a double degree or go to graduate school…
The actual operation is ok, but he almost forgot about the theory.
It's easy to forget the time when he flips through the book, and when he finishes reading this chapter, he notices that more than half an hour has passed.
Chen Qizhao closed the professional book and stopped at the glass bottle that was placed far away on the table. He stopped for a while and poured out a mint from it.
The phone on the bed vibrated, Chen Qizhao opened it and saw the message from Shen Yu Huai in the chat interface.
[-Shen Yuhuai: Are you asleep? ]
[- Zhao: Not yet. ]
Shen Yuhuai was at home, sorting out the data brought from the laboratory, and chatting with Liu Sui during the period, communicating the details of the experiment. Liu Sui said while playing the game: "It's not my brother, we can discuss it when we go back to the laboratory. What are you doing in such a hurry? Are you okay in July?"
"There is something." Shen Yuhuai's eyes stopped on the computer screen, and his fingers quickly typed, "I will package the details of the data and send it to your mailbox, and I will give you a compressed package tomorrow, and then you can fill in the experimental data according to the form. already."
Shen Yuhuai's efficiency was astonishingly high. Even if Liu Sui was lazy, he had to lift his spirits when he was led by his teammates.
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest." Liu Sui turned off the game and wrote down the things Shen Yuhuai explained one by one, "Why do you feel that you are busier than the first half of the year, what happened on Wednesday? I rarely see you. I also took a leave of absence to do the experiment.”
Shen Yuhuai: "Someone has a birthday."
"Can't you just go after you're done celebrating your birthday? I didn't see anyone else on their birthday before..." Liu Sui said, and suddenly reacted, "No, who can make you skip the experiment on a birthday?? Shen Yuhuai, something is wrong with you, are you chasing after the goddess!!"
Shen Yuhuai filled in the data into the form, wrote a comment by the way, and replied briefly, "Yeah."
Liu Sui: "Damn it, my brother is doing something big!! When will you let me meet someone..."
"You've seen it before." Shen Yuhuai responded briefly, seeing the message below, and said, "I have something to do, hang up first."
Liu Suigang wanted to ask for some details, and when he heard Shen Yuhuai's words, he couldn't help but have a brief brainstorm in his mind.
There were only a handful of girls who appeared beside Shen Yuhuai, most of whom were in their experimental group. There were no college students and women he had ever met at all!
Shen Yuhuai stopped working and played a voice to Chen Qizhao.
The other party picked up almost in seconds, and as soon as he connected, he saw that the camera lens was a little messy, and then he saw Chen Qizhao clearly.
"Just about to go to bed." Chen Qizhao saw the bright background, and vaguely saw the decoration of the room behind Shen Yuhuai, not the background he saw in the urban apartment, "Are you at home?"
Shen Yuhuai responded, "Yes."
Chen Qizhao noticed the keyboard sound in the background, he was more sensitive to the sound, "What about work?"
Eyes move quickly, from the bright background to the person closest to the camera, staring intently.
The man was wearing pajamas, neatly dressed, with only one unbuttoned button.
He didn't wear glasses, and when he spoke, his throat slipped somewhere, and there was an indistinct taste.
It's just... Shen Yuhuai was a little far away.
"I just finished my work, I fell asleep in a while." Shen Yuhuai lowered his eyes slightly, noticing Chen Qizhao's slightly messy collar in the camera, and the quilt in the background a little messy. Looking at the angle, he could tell where Chen Qizhao was on the bed.
Chen Qizhao's eyes didn't move, "What's next to me?"
"Water cup." Shen Yuhuai showed him the thing, "Why are you asking this?"
"If you can't see clearly, just ask." Chen Qizhao, "Do you use a notebook?"
Shen Yuhuai actually used the laptop and PC, the camera was fixed in a certain position, his eyes were slightly deep, and he understood something.
Chen Qizhao noticed that Shen Yuhuai's distance seemed to be a little further away, and even his voice was a little lower, "Is there a book on the left?"
Shen Yuhuai looked at the folder next to him, "The materials brought back by the laboratory."
Chen Qizhao's eyes moved slightly, and after a while, he said, "I haven't been to your room."
Shen Yuhuai paused for a while, "Wait a moment."
The video chat was hung up, Chen Qizhao waited for a while with his phone, and an expected video request popped up.
Shen Yuhuai appeared in the camera. This time, he was very close. There were no extra background decorations, and people were right in front of him. But after a while, the camera was switched, and what caught my eye was Shen Yuhuai's room in the Shen family.
The room is more spacious than the urban apartment, the decoration style is more modern and simple, the color tone is the same as the urban apartment, and there are many homes.
The simple room is like Shen Yuhuai's style, and you can see the bottom at a glance, but Chen Qizhao didn't want to see it. , did not even see the face.
After Shen Yuhuai finished speaking, a brief silence spread in each other's atmosphere.
There was a low laugh in the background of the camera, and the man's voice seemed to come from the other side of the receiver, very close: "What else do you want to see?"
Chen Qizhao simply said, "I want to see you."
The camera switched, Shen Yuhuai appeared in the camera, "Then what?"
Chen Qizhao licked his lips slightly, "Come closer."
The camera was moved a little closer, and the people got closer.
Chen Qizhao's gaze moved to the corner of Shen Yuhuai's lips, and he seemed to see the invisible wound that he bitten through during the day. He was half lying on the bed, the taste of mint in his mouth was mixed with a hint of sweetness, a little bit scattered between his lips and teeth, like a certain wrapped taste.
I want to kiss Shen Yuhuai a little bit.
At night, Chen Qizhao hung up the call with Shen Yuhuai and went to get another mint.
When he was lying on the bed after washing, he inexplicably thought of the scene of Shen Yuhuai pressing him during the day, as if the other party's breath was still close at hand. At this time, the tired feeling of the busy day came up. Chen Qizhao pulled the quilt to sleep. In the dream, there seemed to be a hot and humid itch around his neck. He crawled down the back of his neck little by little, making him feel hot all over like a fire. , and gradually the damp heat sprayed on his back.
The numbness made his scalp tingle, and a large hand seemed to touch his face.
When he looked closely, he saw Shen Yuhuai's face.
In the middle of the night, Chen Qizhao woke up suddenly, sitting on the bed and breathing lightly, his body was sticky.
The air conditioner in the room was blowing softly, and the sound was inaudible. Chen Qizhao didn't feel the slightest coldness. He was silent for a while when he opened the quilt, and finally went into the bathroom to take a cold shower.
It had been a long time since he returned to the bedside, he was no longer drowsy, he touched the mobile phone beside him, and opened the chat interface between him and Shen Yuhuai. He didn't send a message to Shen Yuhuai, he stayed on the interface for a while, and when he was about to quit, he clicked into Shen Yuhuai's circle of friends again.
Then, he saw Shen Yu Huaifa's circle of friends.
The picture of the meal he sent to Shen Yuhuai not long ago is now lying at the top of Shen Yuhuai's circle of friends.
Ask him for a photo, and then send it to a circle of friends...
Chen Qizhao felt a little itchy in his hands and a little in his heart. He couldn't tell how he felt.
Just a little happy.
The birthday party soon arrived. The Chen family did not make any public announcements about this birthday party, and the people invited were also close friends.
The banquet was held in the Chen family's garden, the lights in the garden were on, and the fountain reflected a little bit of brilliance. During this period of chaos, the peaceful and beautiful birthday banquet seemed to be the only good thing during this period. The hostess Zhang Yazhi was instructing the servants while chatting with the guests with Chen Jianhong.
All those who came were uncles who could be named, and the banquet without entertainment was a little more lively. Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly, and glanced at the door, the Shen family hadn't come yet.
The message replied on the mobile phone was fifteen minutes ago, and there was no reply after that. Shen Yuhuai might be driving.
He opened the chat record, tapped on the phone interface, and grabbed a glass of champagne.
When Yan Kailin came in with a gift, he saw Chen Qizhao and Cheng Rong talking beside the fountain. After he gave Chen Qizhao a selection of limited edition sneakers, he learned that the gift Cheng Rong gave was a customized lighter." I'll go, I asked you what to give last time, and you said you didn't know."
Cheng Rong said, "I only remembered after you asked."
Liu Kai said: "It's okay, I even gave you a tie."
Yan Kailin asked around, making sure that his gift would not be too cheap, so he went to see Chen Qizhao with confidence, and found that Chen Qizhao was looking at his mobile phone. He looked closer, "Brother, what are you doing? Chat with Brother Huai?"
He saw the name on the top of the chat interface, "Brother Huai seems to have called my brother on the way I came."
Cheng Rong said, "Shen Yuhuai? What's there to talk about?"
These playful children are afraid of meeting serious people, such as Chen Shiming of the Chen family, Yan Kaiqi, the elder brother of Yan Kailin... and Shen Yuhuai. These serious people don't get along with their circles, and they can't play together. They even call the alarm when they meet them. It is inevitable that Chen Qizhao and Yan Kailin will be sent away directly with a complaint.
Thinking of the restlessness of drinking and shopping in the bar before, when they met people like Shen Yuhuai, they all stayed away.
Liu Kai: "I still remember meeting Shen Yuhuai while drinking last year, and I felt uncomfortable all over."
"Damn, he must have taken advantage of my brother. Didn't he always like my Moments some time ago? He must be watching my Moments for my brother." I don't know, he gave me a like on the Moments, which is the difference from telling me clearly, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to post it for a while."
Cheng Rong: "You have to be careful, people like them are very smart, and they can pick out any clues from a photo."
Yan Kailin nodded sharply, "Last time I drank, my brother could tell which bar I was in from a photo, it was scary. But things have been better recently, Shen Yuhuai hasn't liked me for more than two months, but he is also , he shouldn't have time to give me a thumbs up."
Several people talked about Shen Yuhuai in three or two sentences. Chen Qizhao looked up at Yan Kaiqi, who was talking to Chen Shiming in the distance, and asked casually, "What's the call to your brother?"
Yan Kailin was just complaining about his brother's recent hegemonic behavior, when he heard the words: "Phone? I didn't understand it, it seemed to be about business, I heard what they were talking about, but I didn't read a single name. heard."
Chen Qizhao listened with a thoughtful expression.
At this time, another sound seemed to come from outside the garden. A new guest came in from the entrance, and Chen Jianhong walked over with champagne.
Chen Qizhao glanced at the door and saw a figure in the distance. Among the guests, Shen Yuhuai was staring at him, and he could see it at a glance.
After a while, the eyes of the two met, and Shen Yuhuai nodded at him from a distance.
Yan Kailin had no interest in his brother talking about work, but when he mentioned Shen Yuhuai, he suddenly remembered something. He took a glass of champagne from the table next to him, and said in a casual tone, "Oh, let's talk about it, my brother was drunk and missed something last time, it seems like Shen Yuhuai..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw an extra glass of champagne placed beside the table.
The owner of Champagne walked quickly to the other side.
Cheng Rong asked, "Like what?"
Liu Kai: "You speak half of what you say."
Yan Kailin's gaze followed Chen Qizhao inexplicably, until he saw Chen Qizhao standing in front of Shen Yuhuai, he added the next sentence: "...It seems to be in love."

The author has something to say:
Da Chen was puzzled for three consecutive times: (the phone is not his, where has he gone, what has he done)
Xiaoyan: Do you want me to tell you something cool
