Approaching the backstage, after passing through two heavy doors, the music in the venue can hardly be heard. Adult show staff come and go in a hurry.

Harrison was leaning over the dressing table and talking to a beautiful actor when Bunny led them to Harrison in the actor's dressing room.

Harrison?R?Owen is a tall beta, of American-Asian blood, and looks more Asian.

When he first came to the Independent Kingdom of Thailand, Harrison worked as a bodyguard for a few months. Later, with the help of nobles, he opened a security company in Bangkok. After getting acquainted with celebrities and dignitaries, he started an adult show business.

Zhang Jue met with him at the beginning of last month, and told Harrison about his plans in the independent country of Thailand. The two sat down and talked for a long time.

Harrison disapproved of Zhang Jue's relationship with Chen Boqiao at this moment, but Zhang Jue insisted on going his own way, and Harrison still helped.

Seeing Zhang Jue coming in, Harrison twitched the corners of his mouth and was about to speak when he saw Chen Boqiao standing behind Zhang Jue.

He was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Jue with some surprise, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he immediately held back, made a color to the bunny girl, patted the actor's arm again, and said, "You guys go out first. "

When the door was closed and there were only the three of them left in the locker room, Harrison raised his hand and tapped Zhang Jue with his index finger: "You're brave enough."

He took a step forward, observed Chen Boqiao for a few seconds from a social distance, and suddenly said to Zhang Jue: "Zhang Jue, you are very talented in helping people with makeup. In the future, you will come to the club to work without food, and I will give you to Zhang Jue. Board and lodging." He looked Zhang Jue up and down again, and said, "It's not impossible if you want to dance."

Having been friends for so many years, Zhang Jue has long been accustomed to Harrison's unreliable words, so he selectively skipped his jokes and went straight to the point: "Is the ship connected?"

Harrison probably thought Zhang Jue was boring, shrugged, and said, "Come up with me first."

He turned around and walked outside the locker room. Zhang Jue turned his head to look at Chen Boqiao, who asked amusingly, "You can still dance?"

"I won't," Zhang Jue denied immediately, and reluctantly gave Chen Boqiao a vaccination, "don't believe anything he says."

Having said that, he followed Harrison forward.

Harrison took them to a sightseeing elevator, swiped the fingerprint machine, and the elevator doors opened.

The three walked in, the elevator went up, and they saw the full picture of the show.

The performance had reached its climax, with gold paper strewn all over the place, and the audience waving their arms in ecstasy, shouting obscene words to the Omega dancing in the iron cage hanging in the air. But soon, the elevator rose to the hotel floor.

Harrison's office is on the 16th floor. Watching the numbers on the screen slowly climb, Harrison suddenly said to Zhang Jue, "I went to climb the Senna Snow Mountain again last month."

Hearing the words "Senna Snow Mountain", Zhang Zhizhi suddenly had a bad premonition. He felt that Harrison would say something thoughtless in front of Chen Boqiao in the next second, so he immediately turned his head and looked at Harrison with warning eyes. .

However, Harrison didn't pay any attention to the decision, and he said to himself, "I took a look for you by the way, the lights are still on."

Zhang Jue's head hurt, but Harrison didn't stop: "When are you free, why don't you go and have a look?"

When Roche was in school, Zhang Jue and Harrison were considered good friends for dinner, not too close. Really familiar, in fact, after Harrison dropped out.

Half a year after dropping out of school, Harrison's father failed in business and had a nervous breakdown. He shot his wife and injured his son before committing suicide. Zhang Jue saw the news in the newspaper, tried every means to contact Harrison, asked for leave from school, and flew to North America to see him. When we met, Harrison had been lying in the hospital for two weeks, so thin that only a handful of bones were left, and he couldn't even pay for the medical bills.

Zhang Jue's grandfather was a well-known wealthy businessman in the newly independent country. He left most of his property to Zhang Jue in his will. Zhang Jue usually has no extravagant hobbies and has always had a lot of money. He paid the bills for Harrison and contacted a complex. Health care home.

Not long after, the aftermath of Zhang Jue's failed surgery began to appear. He had spent the most unbearable period of his life and had no time to take care of other people's conditions. It was two years later that he received news from Harrison again.

Harrison called Zhang Jue and said that he had settled in the independent country of Thailand, the city where his mother was born, and had saved some money to return the medical and nursing expenses to Zhang Jue.

Coincidentally, when Harrison contacted Zhang Jue, Zhang Jue had just found a potion that could regulate pheromone disorders and was able to break free from the hopeless predicament. He came to Bangkok to find Harrison, and the two played around in the independent country of Thailand. , and went to the plateau on the border between the Independent State of Thailand and the Asian Union to climb the Sennar Snow Mountain.

On the mountainside of the snow-capped mountains, there is a very prestigious temple. There is a large chanting hall in the temple, and there is a pool of tribute lights in the hall.

Zhang Jue looked like a staunch atheist, but he was actually the kind of superstitious person who liked to find faith temporarily. He stood by the lamp pond and looked around for a long time, and decided to ask the director of the temple to offer lamps.

Harrison believed in Christianity and was not interested in Buddhism, so he waited for Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue first offered four cups, one for his father, one for his mother, one for his fiancé, Ai Jiaxi, and one for himself. When the lantern entered the pool, and Harrison seemed to be distracted not far away, Zhang Jue pulled the supervisor aside and offered another one. Zhang Jue knew very well that he was not qualified to offer lamps for this person, and they didn't matter at all, but in the matter of gods and Buddhas, if you believe in it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't.

At the moment when he wrote Chen Boqiao's name on the red paper, Zhang's determination was empty, and he didn't pray or was moved by himself.

He felt that it was boring to entertain himself, and also thought that if Chen Boqiao came to this temple someday and wanted to offer a lamp to himself, but found that someone had offered it, would he wonder who the person who offered the lamp for him was.

Will the name Zhang Jue pass even for a second in Chen Boqiao's mind? It's hard.

The oxygen in the plateau was thin, making it difficult for Zhang Jue to breathe. There are 25 strokes of Chen Boqiao's three characters in total, and Zhang Jue's every stroke is sore from his fingers to his wrist.

Think when you write one, forget it, think when you write another, and keep writing.

After he finished writing, just as he was about to hand it over to the supervisor, Harrison's voice sounded in his ear: "Chen Boqiao?"

Zhang Jue felt that Harrison was really lacking in creativity at times, and he couldn't get tired of talking about one thing from twenty-one to twenty-nine.

Fortunately, when we arrived on the 16th floor, Zhang Jue naturally stopped talking as soon as the elevator door opened.

Harrison walked in front, Zhang Jue and Chen Boqiao walked out of the elevator one after the other, before taking a few steps, Zhang Jue was suddenly pulled on his elbow by Chen Boqiao.

"Zhang Jue."

Zhang Jue turned his face to the side and looked at Chen Boqiao looking at himself across a small space: "You climbed over the Senna Snow Mountain together?"

Perhaps he had thought about Chen Boqiao for too long and was too bitter. For a short moment, Zhang Jue felt that Chen Boqiao, who was talking to him in front of him, was extremely illusory.

Because how could Chen Boqiao always call Zhang Jue's name, Chen Boqiao should not speak to Zhang Jue like this.

But in the next second, another question from Chen Boqiao brought Zhang Jue back to reality: "What light?"

Zhang Jue was a little embarrassed: "Don't listen to his nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense?" Harrison turned his head, and asked rhetorically, and pushed open the door of his office again.

Harrison's office is huge, with a sofa, a large desk, and a wall of surveillance cameras. The real-time monitoring of more than 100 cameras installed throughout the club can be seen from the wall.

"I asked you about it," Harrison said. "The next ship I can handle for you, it won't leave in eight days. It's a passenger cruise ship bound for the New Independent State and will stop at Bangkok for two days. sky."

After listening, Zhang Jue frowned.

"Cargo ships are rare and have a big target," Harrison said, looking at Zhang Jue's expression. "The inspection of ships at the port is also very strict. If you want to avoid attracting attention, you will have to wait longer."

"Could it be faster," Zhang Jue was not satisfied, "Eight days is too long, I'm not worried."

"There's nothing to worry about," Harrison said. "You ask Colonel Chen for eight days, but Colonel Chen led the team to wait for half a year on the edge of the battle zone before they got the chance to attack."

"Five months." Chen Boqiao corrected gently.

"The news says it's half a year," Harrison smiled at Chen Boqiao, "Colonel Chen, you say, eight days?"

Zhang Jue vaguely felt that Harrison's attitude towards Chen Boqiao was not very good. Just as he was about to open his mouth to mediate, Chen Boqiao opened his mouth again. His tone was a little loose: "Eight days are not long, but if eight days pass, we still can't leave..."

"I said I could walk," Harrison said flatly.

Zhang Jue had no choice, and finally agreed to the cruise ship eight days later.

After he and Harrison set the time and place, he took Chen Boqiao and said goodbye to Harrison.

Harrison sent them to the door of the office, and suddenly called Chen Boqiao: "Colonel Chen."

"I have a question," he held the door and looked at Chen Boqiao, "Zhang Jue is too embarrassed to ask, I will ask for him."

Chen Boqiao looked at Harrison nonchalantly, waiting for him to ask questions.

Harrison narrowed his eyes and asked Chen Boqiao, "The day you were rescued, when you got out of the car and saw Zhang Jue, do you still remember who he was?"

Zhang Jue looked at Harrison and felt the silence of Chen Boqiao beside him, and his heart slowly filled with a lot of sourness. He didn't understand why Harrison asked such a question. It embarrassed Chen Boqiao and embarrassed himself.

Chen Boqiao paused for a while, then suddenly said, "Of course I remember."

He lowered his head slightly, looked at Zhang Jue, smiled at Zhang Jue reassuringly, raised his hand again, put his hand on Zhang Jue's shoulder, hugged Zhang Jue very lightly, and let Zhang Jue stick to his arms, Ask Harrison: "How could I forget Zhang Jue?"
