Chen Boqiao slept very lightly. As soon as Zhang Jue rolled over and sat up, Chen Boqiao woke up.

The room was gray, Zhang Jue did not turn on the light, stood by the bed, turned his back to Chen Boqiao and changed his clothes. He lowered his head, pulled his T-shirt off his body, revealing his thin back, and put on the shirt he was wearing when he went out. Then he leaned over to take the tablet, and stood at the end of the bed looking at something like a penalty stand.

Chen Boqiao watched for a while, and suddenly thought that Zhang Jue was probably just standing there because he was afraid that the mattress would collapse when he sat down and would wake him up.

Zhang Jue watched for half a minute, then suddenly put the tablet aside again, took the rubber band from the low cabinet, raised his arm, fiddled with the hair caught in his collar with his back, and tucked it low before picking up the tablet to continue. Look. The black hair hangs down the back of Zhang Jue's fair neck, looking submissive and submissive.

Chen Boqiao remembered the touch of Zhang Jue's hair, which was very soft. Like Zhang Jue himself, it was harmless to Chen Boqiao.

After arriving in the independent country of Thailand, when Chen Boqiao contacted Pei Shu for the first time, Pei Shu commented that Zhang Jue was "stubborn" and told Chen Boqiao to stay away from Zhang Jue.

Chen Boqiao himself will consider whether he should stay away from Zhang Jue, but he thought Pei Shu used the word stubborn correctly.

Zhang Jue had a contradictory temperament, both stubborn and timid. He is sometimes reliable, well-planned, prudent and prudent in his arrangements, as if he had implanted the map of the Independent Kingdom of Thailand in his head; sometimes he was stupid, for example, when he saw social news about animal cruelty in the hospital, he left a large deposit for the pet hospital. , as if the lame pastoral cat that Chen Boqiao picked up at random was a pure-blooded competition-level baby.

When Chen Boqiao teased at will, he would show a nervous expression, like a cat whose tail was grabbed by an invisible hand. It was very interesting to hide Zhang Huang's confusion and force his composure.

But regarding Zhang Jue, Chen Boqiao thinks that Pei Shu is wrong.

Even if they attended the dinner together, the most unpopular alpha in the audience should be Pei Shu—at least the receptionist at the pet hospital liked Zhang Jue.

Chen Boqiao was recalling the message Wen Reception sent to Zhang Jue, and Zhang Jue looked back.

Seeing that Chen Boqiao had his eyes open, Zhang Jue was startled, turned on the wall lamp, and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

"Wake up." Chen Boqiao sat up.

"Did I wake you up?" Zhang Jue opened his eyes wide and confirmed to Chen Boqiao.

If Chen Boqiao told the truth, Zhang Jue would probably put on that frustrated face that made Chen Boqiao feel amused. But early in the morning, Chen Boqiao felt that it was unnecessary, so he denied: "No, wake up naturally."

"Well, I'm watching the news. An important media in the Asian Union released a suspicious book late last night," Zhang Jue said, and he handed the tablet to Chen Boqiao to read. signed."

Chen Boqiao discovered very early that the news Zhang Jue was willing to show him must be absolutely beneficial to Chen Boqiao and would not have a negative impact on his mood.

And like the international news that Chen Boqiao listened to with gusto last time in the old pickup truck, Zhang Jue had to pinch off half of it.

Chen Boqiao took the tablet and roughly read the text on the screen.

At first glance, this doubtful book was written by Pei Shuhe and his advisors. The text eloquently stated the irrationality of Chen Boqiao's escape from prison at this time, starting from the probability of successful appeal, and then to the huge demand of the whole league to announce it. The demonstrations of the original documents of Chen Boqiao's criminal evidence were forced to cool down, interspersed with hints of the possibility of the president's self-directed and self-acted performances.

It was written in the news that half an hour after the publication of the doubtful book, the Presidential Office held an emergency press conference to respond to several points in the doubtful book, and announced that three days later, the president would make a public speech on the matter.

But everyone was not satisfied with the response of the Presidential Palace. After the press conference, the voices of questioning intensified, asking why the President had to delay his appearance for three days, whether it was because no one had written the speech, or was he rushing to move Colonel Chen to a more secret place so on and so forth.

If it wasn't for Chen Boqiao himself who proposed this idea, he would almost believe that he is now imprisoned in a secret prison by the president, waiting to be executed.

"Imagination is very rich." Chen Boqiao sighed and returned the tablet to Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue took it, put it aside, walked to the end of the bed, and took out the wallet and key from his carry-on bag.

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue's actions and asked, "Are you going out now?"

Zhang Jue nodded: "Go buy some breakfast. I've contacted my friend and I'll find him in the afternoon." Then he asked Chen Boqiao: "What would you like to eat?"

"Anyway." Chen Boqiao said.

Zhang Jue didn't force Chen Boqiao to answer any more, he said "yes" and then went out.

There was no TV in this safe room. Chen Boqiao changed his clothes and went to the small living room to listen to the radio for a while, and Zhang Jue came back.

He took the breakfast bread and coffee, put them on the coffee table and small dining table in the living room, and unpacked them for Chen Boqiao.

After taking a sip of coffee, Chen Boqiao observed Zhang Jue and said, "Will you take me in the afternoon?"

Zhang Jue glanced at Chen Boqiao and asked, "Do you want to go?" He was afraid that Chen Boqiao might think his question would be reluctant, so he added: "If you want, I'll make it for you after eating. The way it was yesterday."

"Okay." Chen Boqiao nodded to Zhang Jue and smiled again. Zhang Jue lowered his head and took another bite of the bread.

Zhang Jue ate very little. After he ate most of the bread and put it down, he never picked it up again. He sat for a while, then suddenly said to Chen Boqiao: "I'm looking for that friend, I don't know if you've heard of it. He also went to school in Roche and is a year higher than us."

"Really?" Chen Boqiao was a little interested and asked, "What's your name?"

"Harrison, Harrison?R?Owen," Zhang Jue looked at Chen Boqiao with anticipation in his eyes.

As Chen Boqiao's thinking time increased, the expectation in Zhang Jue's eyes slowly disappeared.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Jue said, "Don't think about it, you probably don't know him."

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue and said nothing. Zhang Jue and Chen Boqiao looked at each other for a few seconds, then looked away. Chen Boqiao asked Zhang Jue, "Is he from the Independent Kingdom of Thailand?"

"No," Zhang Jue shook his head, "He came a few years ago to open an adult show club and security company in Bangkok."

Chen Boqiao raised his eyebrows subconsciously when he heard the adult show club. Zhang Jue saw Chen Boqiao's expression and immediately explained to Harrison: "The one with the business license."

"Well," Chen Boqiao nodded with a smile, and asked, "are we going to a security company or a club for a while?"

"..." Zhang Jue said, "in the office upstairs in the club."

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue slightly embarrassed, and couldn't help but want to know the origin of Zhang Jue and the owner of the adult show club: "He is a year older than us, how did you know him?"

Zhang Jue thought for a while before saying, "I can't remember."

"But Harrison and I were the same kind of people, in Roche," he recalled.

Zhang Jue described himself as "the kind that is not very popular."

Zhang Jue's definition of himself seemed negative on the surface, but Chen Boqiao knew that what Zhang Jue said was the truth.

All Roche students have a good background. Most of them are ambitious and keen on socializing and various competitions. The background of Zhangjue is not bad. He is introverted, and according to Pei Shu is withdrawn. Chen Boqiao and he have been training with him in the rowing team for several years, and they are not very impressed with Zhang Jue.

"After getting to know each other, we sometimes eat together," Zhang Jue added, "if we are not together, we are all alone."

Chen Boqiao also knew very well the environment and atmosphere of the school at that time. It should not be someone who deliberately ignored or isolated the rules, but everyone was busy, busy with their own projects, busy with enriching their resumes, so no one had Empty to pay attention to Zhang Jue, who does not fit in with the group, and why Zhang Jue is alone.

"After Harrison dropped out, no one was with me."

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue and continued talking indifferently, feeling some strange discomfort in his heart, but he couldn't refute Zhang Jue.

Because he wanted to recall what happened a long time ago, Zhang Jue spoke intermittently, his tone was very flat, without any unhappiness, it was purely narration: "Before Harrison came to the independent country of Thailand, something happened, and I helped him. He came to the Independent Kingdom of Thailand, and I have met with him several times. He is very reliable, and Zong La is also the thread that he helped me with."

"However," Zhang Jue added, "his club is very noisy, you definitely don't like it."

Chen Boqiao smiled: "Really."

"Well," Zhang Jue nodded and promised, "If you don't like it, we'll leave after we're done."

This morning, Zhang Jue changed clothes for Chen Boqiao again. The second time he did this, Zhang Jue moved a little faster. Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue when Zhang Jue applied the bionic leather for him, and saw that Zhang Jue's ears were flushed.

Zhang Jue's fingertips are very soft, and he doesn't have the calluses that Chen Boqiao has used to hold guns all the year round. As long as Chen Boqiao doesn't open his mouth and say some outrageous words to Zhang Jue, Zhang Jue's hand is very stable.

But Chen Boqiao was bored while sitting, so he couldn't help wanting to tease Zhang Jue.

Just so stumbling, Chen Boqiao regained his beard and high cheekbones.

Zhang Jue took Chen Boqiao out for a simple lunch, changed to a new car, passed through Bangkok's slums, dense houses and high-rise buildings, and stopped at a crowded club street.

Most of the shop signs on the street are flashing with colorful lights, and Omegas dressed as bunny girls are attracting customers at the entrance of each shop. Zhang Jue parked the car on the side of the road, and took Chen Boqiao in, and stopped at the entrance of the biggest club on the street.

"Two gentlemen, the first show of the afternoon in our store has already begun, and we cannot enter the venue for the time being," a bunny girl at the door winked at Zhang Jue gently, raised her hand and put her hand on Zhang Jue's shoulder, in a kind of Chen Bo Qiao felt that the posture that should be corrected approached Zhang Jue, licked his lips, and said, "The next game will be in two hours. You can register your contact information and go shopping. When the time comes, I will notify you again. you."

After listening to her, Zhang Jue took out a business card unmoved, and gave her a look: "I'm looking for him."

The bunny girl's expression changed, the hand on Zhang Jue's shoulder immediately retracted, she nodded slightly to Zhang Jue, pushed the door open with her hip, and said to Zhang Jue, "Sir, please come with me."

As soon as the door opened, the sound of psychedelic electronic music leaked out mixed with the cheers of the people.

Chen Boqiao and Zhang Jue followed the bunny girl in, and happened to see four or five almost naked Omegas jumping off the stage, twisting their waists and waving cash, and opened their palms to touch In their physical Beta and Alpha.

The bunny girl didn't take them upstairs immediately. She walked aside, said a few words to a tall security chief, and walked to Zhang Jue's side again, saying, "The boss seems to be in the background, I'll take you there."

Suddenly, the crowd looked their way. One of the Omegas who jumped off the stage squeezed out the crowd.

The cloth bag on the edge of the Omega thong was full of cash, and when he saw Zhang Jue and Chen Boqiao, he staggered over. His eyes quickly looked at Chen Boqiao and Zhang Jue, he chose Zhang Jue first, danced close to Zhang Jue, held his crotch suggestively, and the bells tied on his legs made a crisp sound, which is also in electronic music. Clear and audible.

Possibly smelling Zhang Jue's pheromone, Omega hooked Zhang Jue's neck obsessively, pulled Zhang Jue down, and moaned his neck to Zhang Jue's mouth.

Zhang Jue was half a head taller than the dancing Omega, and the Omega had a hard time hooking. Zhang Jue stood for a few seconds, lowered his eyes expressionlessly, lowered his head, held down Omega's waist, and whispered to Omega Chen Boqiao. Didn't hear clearly.

From Chen Boqiao's point of view, Zhang Jue's lips almost touched the position of the Omega gland. Zhang Jue's hands were very slender, with his thumb on Omega's waist, as if he wanted to refuse and greet him.

Just when Chen Boqiao felt that Zhang Jue was surprisingly proficient in this set of movements, Zhang Jue took out his wallet more proficiently, took out a stack of cash, and stuffed it into the bag that was shaking against Omega's thigh. Zhang Jue's knuckles touched Omega's crotch, and the other party may have misunderstood what Zhang Jue meant. He tilted his head slightly and pressed his face sideways, as if he wanted to kiss Zhang Jue.

But this time, Zhang Jue quickly retracted his hand, took a step back, and blocked it almost invisible.

Omega was stunned for a while, then showed a very sweet smile, and said to Zhang Jue: "Sir, you have given so much tip, the club can have two additional services for you—"

"—Zhang Jue." Chen Boqiao interrupted the Omega by doing something he didn't usually do.

Zhang Jue raised his eyes, turned his gaze back to Chen Boqiao, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Chen Boqiao looked straight at Zhang Jue and asked politely and clearly, "Can we go."

"Okay," Zhang Jue glanced at the bunny girl and said, "Let's go."

The bunny girl nodded suddenly and led them backstage.

Zhang Jue walked beside Chen Boqiao. On the way to the backstage, he looked at Chen Boqiao a lot, and finally said hesitantly, "I didn't give money for the first time. Harrison said that I broke his rules and wanted to kick me out."

Chen Boqiao said noncommittally, "Got it."
