Zhong Yan pushed away Adrian's hand, quickly took off his shirt, and put on Adrian's coat. He wanted to zip up the coat, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't do it. Adrian couldn't stand it anymore, so he violently pulled it over and zipped it up for him.
After he finished pulling, Zhong Yan pushed his hand away again, wanting to jump off the table, but Adrian stood in front of him like a wall.
Zhong Yan stretched out his hand to push him, but he didn't move at all, so he could only say: "The clothes are changed, get out of the way, I want to go down."
Adrian asked, "What's going on?"
"Whatever happens is none of your business. Get out of the way!"
Not only did Adrian not get out of the way, but he stopped Zhong Yan from trying to push his hand away, and warned: "I'm in a bad mood right now. If you dare to kick me, it will be over. You can try."
Adrian was standing against the desk, his legs intertwined with Zhong Yan's. Originally, Zhong Yan's legs could be easily lifted and he used his hard knees to reach the most vulnerable position of the man standing in front of him. , so as to get rid of this situation of being controlled by others, but this verbal intimidation is very effective. Zhong Yan thought about the other party's moody temper now, and held back, trying to understand it: "Why do you always use violence to solve problems now? Violence is Unconvincing, you... let me go first... "
"This is not the Capital Star. Violence can be subdued. Welcome to Na'vi, Councilor." Adrian said, seeing that he had no intention of struggling for the time being, he let go of his hand, but he did not back down, still imposing Standing in front of him, "So, what's going on?"
Zhong Yan looked at him and remained silent for a long time. Then he said, "What's your business? We're not friends anymore."
"In the Na'vi star area, there is no doubt about what I ask and what you answer. Say it."
Zhong Yan lowered his eyes, he could tell that Adrian would not let him go until he got the answer he wanted today. We haven't seen each other for seven years. This man is no longer what he looked like in the ivory tower of the school. He is already the overlord, tough and unambiguous.
"When I was still in compulsory education, I had a conflict with a senior. A few of his friends carved it with a utility knife. That's it."
"What conflict?"
"I have a big boss's daughter in my class. She is very beautiful, and that senior wants to chase after her." Zhong Yan's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "I have always been the first in my grade, and I am not good looking. It's bad, the girl fell in love with me, but I didn't agree, the girl cried in anger, and the senior found someone to vent her anger for her. There is no surveillance in the locker room of the public bathroom. "
Adrian closed his eyes, forced himself not to imagine the scene, suppressed his overwhelming anger and continued to ask, "Well. Why are these two words?"
"Oh, that's another story." Zhong Yan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Do you remember what I told you about my first adoptive parents?"
"The girl is pregnant and you are sent back to that?"
"Yes. They made up a story by the way for the sake of looking good. In the following ten years, this was the most popular story in the orphanage, so that when the senior went to the orphanage to inquire about me, no The young children rushed to tell him the story."
Adrian had already guessed, "They said, you stole something..."
"Yes. In fact, after growing up and beginning to understand things, it's not difficult to figure out what's going on, but the facts don't matter at all, that orphanage..." Zhong Yan smiled softly, "The star I was born in The district is underdeveloped, and the orphanage is still on a small fourth-tier planet. The management and system are not so standardized. Most of the time, it is done purely by contacts. The dean and the staff are more snobbish than the other, and they grew up under their hands. How can the children be better? None of the children who come out there are good people, including me."
"The senior's family is very good-oh, of course it can't compare with yours, it's not at the same level. His family can be counted among the best on our small planet. I can only bear it after being taught by him. If there is trouble, I'm afraid I can’t even go to school. There are too many things like this, and this is not the most serious thing, it’s just that this incident left a scar.”
Adrian clenched his fists and said, "You never told me these things."
"Yeah, I was worried at that time..." Zhong Yan didn't finish what he was worried about at the time, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now you know, my youth was different from what you remember, not an orphan on a small backward planet An inspirational story about actively striving to change your destiny. Do you regret being my friend even more?"
The anger in Adrian's silver eyes was almost burning, he gritted his teeth and said, "What is more regret..."
"Didn't you say last time that if you knew I was such a person, you would not be friends with me. In fact, you are right. My past is much worse than you think," Zhong Yan seemed to have made up his mind. Adrian hated him even more, and continued in one breath, "We learned to lie when we were very young children. The orphanage will not starve the children in it, but the food is the same every day, just a few cheap ones The ingredients are changed in rotation, and they are the same. There are also delicious ones, but very few, just to make the purchase list look better. In order to get more delicious food, it’s nothing to lie. Once, people from the social welfare department of the local council came to inspect , I forgot the word I should have said - I still remember that word, 'Miao Miao Orphanage is our home, we all like it here', I was too young at that time, I forgot the second half of the sentence, and the later one I could only eat bread and drink porridge for a month. After that, I never forgot my words. When I got older, sometimes I could improvise. If I performed well, I could get a small piece of cake. This is very rare. I …”
Zhong Yan frowned, and suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said. He was about to say something else to cover it up, but it was too late. Adrian caught this point and asked sharply, "That's why you are right about the cake." So… "
"No!" Zhong Yan interrupted, "It's not for this reason. I don't have any preference for cakes, you buy them all, don't waste them. There is no connection between them."
Adrian knew that Zhong Yan loved all kinds of cakes. He found out about it in the first year. When they first met, Zhong Yan wasn’t really seventeen years old. It was Zhong Yan’s birthday not long after school started. Adrian bought a birthday cake for his new roommate. Originally, the two of them had planned to eat a little every day for a few days. As a result, Adrian ate a small piece that night, and Zhong Yan ate the rest as dinner alone.
After that, Adrian often bought cakes for him, but he didn't dare to buy big cakes. He was frightened by Zhong Yan's sudden eating of a birthday cake that night. It's not very healthy, and then I always buy small cupcakes. As long as he buys it back, he will definitely be eaten immediately—Zhong Yan’s appetite is not very big, after eating two small cakes, the amount of the meal will be halved, which led to Adrian needing to control his desire to eat cakes later. Time, resolutely do not let eat before meals.
Zhong Yan didn't have the nerve to tell Adrian that the first year's birthday cake was delicious, but he was still a bit tired after eating it. But since he was a child, he always thought that the birthday cake must be eaten on the day of his birthday. Later, seeing Adrian's face full of hesitation, he felt wrong. Afterwards, he secretly checked and found that there was no such custom. He was afraid that Adrian, the eldest young master from the Capital Star, would feel that he was ignorant, and it was his first time to eat a birthday cake, so he could only acquiesce in his assumption that "once he encounters a cake, no matter how big it is, he will eat it all" Certainly.
But no matter what misunderstanding there is, one thing they both know is that Zhong Yan really loves cakes. Adrian had never been able to understand why men fell in love with this kind of sweet dessert before, but he still tolerated his roommate's hobbies silently, just like he tolerated his roommate's pajamas printed with giant interstellar rabbits.
Today, on this unexpected occasion, he got an answer, but the answer was far from sweet and greasy.
Zhong Yan originally thought that if Adrian discovered such a weak compensatory psychology, he would definitely seize the attack based on his current hatred for him, but unexpectedly, Adrian let the cake go, just "hmm" After groaning, he continued: "So you reported the orphanage just after you entered the highest institution?"
"Not only." Zhong Yan said, "After graduating from the highest institution, in the first year of entering the Supreme Council, I went back to that small planet once. Fortunately, because it is not very developed and the flow of personnel is not fast, most of the people who want to find They are still there. Just tell me what you know... the senior. He broke all his ribs that day, and I hired someone to beat him. The local councilor specially prepared a corner for me without surveillance in order to please me, and the man beat him I was watching from the sidelines, the senior was actually quite strong, and he might not be able to beat the person I hired in a real fight, but he didn't dare to resist. I work in the Supreme Council, and he is very different from him. Any means can cut off his family's livelihood. When he broke half of his ribs, he couldn't bear the pain, crying and shouting to me to say sorry, and asked my lord to spare him a lot. I didn't stop."
Zhong Yan held down his left rib, separated by Adrian's sports jacket, which had the imprint from his unbearable boyhood, "He didn't do it himself, and I didn't do it himself, he didn't break my neck. I will continue to save my life, but for the rest, I will pay back my capital with interest. This is the vow I made back then, I did it, I am worthy of myself, and I have no regrets."
He had never shown such a dark side of himself to Adrian before, and when he said it today, he felt lost in his heart.
Zhong Yan stubbornly stared at the communicator on the ground, not wanting to see Adrian's expression. Adrian would probably be disappointed, and then even angrier, after discovering what a terrible person he really was.
How could this be... He tried his best to send himself to the Na'vi star sector, obviously... It's obviously not for this kind of thing.
