Shen Mang twitched the corner of his mouth and locked the screen of his phone.

"He is not so capable. He came back from Southeast Asia alone, and someone should be helping him from behind."

Cosine frowned at him, "You mean... this is all planned by someone else?"

Shen Mang nodded.

"You go to bed first, I have to make a few more calls."

Cosine looked at him worriedly, the man chuckled and stroked his hair.

"I haven't seen any battles. When I first became popular, more people scolded me than now, and they scolded me more badly. Now these are nothing."

He rubbed Cosine's ears, "Honey, go in and sleep, it's windy on the balcony, don't catch a cold."

The wind of the autumn night was cool, and Cosine stood for a while, and his knees were a little cold. He had no choice but to nod, "then go back to sleep early, don't freeze."

When it was almost dawn, Cosine felt the weight of another person under the quilt.

Accustomed to the man's body temperature, Cosine didn't fall asleep at all in the middle of the night. When his arm touched a familiar heat source, he immediately put it there and hugged the young man's back.

Shen Mang was wearing short-sleeved household sleeves, and his exposed arms were cool. Cosine quickly rubbed him.

"How long have you been standing outside? Why are your hands so cold?"

"Not long."

Shen Mang reached out and patted him on the shoulder, Cosine leaned against his chest, and suddenly smelled a faint smell of tobacco. He remembered that Shen Mang basically never smoked in order to protect his throat.

"Did you smoke just now?"

Shen Mang's voice was a little hoarse, as if it had sand in it, "I just smoked half of it. If you mind, I'll take a shower first."

Seeing that he was about to sit up, Cosine quickly grabbed his wrist, turned on the night light by the bedside, knelt on the bed, and looked at the pale and handsome young man.

"Shen Mang, what happened... between you and your stepfather, can you tell me? I know that you treat Gu Xing very well, because he treats you like a brother and trusts you very much. But your stepfather... "

Shen Mang leaned on the head of the bed, her dark eyes darkened, and the corners of her mouth tickled.

"Mr. Yu, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you. You sent your stepfather to Southeast Asia for a reason."

Shen Mang held Cosine's hand, rubbed the lines on his palm, and remained silent for a long time.

When he saw that interview, the tyranny and hatred that had been suppressed for a long time in his chest came up again, as if a ferocious beast was rampaging in his skin, clamoring to destroy everything. But the moment he held Cosine's hand, his boiling blood miraculously cooled down.

His heart was no longer soaked with the venom of hatred, replaced by an unprecedented peace.

Cosine looked at the expression on his face, and felt like something was tugging at the bottom of his heart.

"If you don't want to say it, don't force it, let's go to bed first."

He pulled Shen Mang to lie down together, this time the young man was leaning against his arms, he patted the other's shoulder lightly, and his fingers gently rubbed his soft black hair.

"You should be very tired tonight, don't think about those things, just sleep peacefully."

Shen Mang's cheek rested on his chest, smelling the familiar lemon laundry detergent on his pajamas, and the tip of his nose was suddenly a little sour.

It was an unprecedented emotion that even made him feel a little ashamed.

This weak and incompetent emotion has always been rejected by him, but on this night, those emotions that should not be there, like a dense net, wrapped his whole person in it.

He gripped the fabric of Cosine's pajamas tightly.

"Mr. Yu, haven't I told you about my stepfather?"

Cosine patted the hand on the back of his shoulder for a while, and hummed softly.

In the quiet night, Shen Mang's voice was particularly low.

"In the beginning, I didn't hate him. He was also very kind to me, but gradually, some of his actions made me feel very uncomfortable... In fact, I can endure them because my mother likes him very much. Yes One night, my mother went on a business trip, Gu Xing went to his grandmother's house, and I was the only one left at home..."

"He didn't know, when I passed by my uncle, I was very wary of all men, so I hid a fruit knife under the pillow... He touched the bed at that time and saw the fruit knife in my hand, and his face was so ugly... ...You said, if I stabbed him at the time, would I go to jail?"

"Anyway, I am the protagonist of this world. Even if I kill him, it should be fine, right?"

Shen Mang's tone was sarcastic, even with a hint of laughter. Cosine probably guessed something, but when Shen Mang said it himself, his chest was still terribly tight.

He hugged the young man in his arms tightly.

"Stop talking... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that."

Chapter 72

"Mr. Yu, you don't need to be so sad, it's all over, isn't it?"

Sensing the trembling of Cosine's tone, Shen Mang patted him on the shoulder soothingly.

"It's not difficult to solve this matter. I have records of all the bastards he did in the past. I also have the transfer records. I have been prepared for this a long time ago."

Probably because Cosine was worried, his tone was unusually calm.

"Xie Xuanqing didn't know that I was reborn. He thought I had no defenses. He could think of going to Gu Linhui, which was pretty smart, but this was his last trump card."

Next, it was his turn to fight back.

Cosine has a worried face, "But now the hot search is so scolding, if you come out to clarify, will those people believe you?"

Cosine knew very well that in order to clarify Gu Linhui's matter, a person must testify in order to win the public's trust.

"You don't have to worry about this, my team of lawyers shouldn't be able to solve this trivial matter."

Shen Mang touched his hair and kissed his forehead.

"You have class tomorrow, so go to bed early."

Although Shen Mang said that a solution had been found, Cosine was still worried and didn't sleep well at night.
