Chapter 59

To be honest, if it wasn't for the rumors that Pei Yusheng liked Wen Chuming, He Xiu wouldn't have guessed that Qi Ji liked men as soon as he came up.

There are very few people who know about Pei Yusheng and Wen Chuming, and He Xiu only knows a thing or two because of their identity. This is a secret, not a romantic gossip. When He Xiu was young, he liked gossip, and he liked slobbering songs that sad autumn and spring. Later, when he was hit by his fiancée's work and the gossip that went viral in the countryside, he changed his temper. Afterwards, He Xiu joined the army for the second time and continued to advance. Instead, he sat in the position in charge of rectifying rumors and gossip.

The news of Wen Chuming was the one he came across at that time.

Wen Chuming's situation is very special. He enlisted in the army at the age of nineteen and served in the Shenjian Special Forces for three years. Later, in order to perform a secret mission, he was arranged to fake death and changed his face incognito. The tasks he participated in were extremely confidential. Except for the line-up and the general commander of the army, no one else, including Wen Chuming's parents, knew about it, so as not to increase the risk of leaking secrets and bring danger to the executors.

Naturally, Pei Yusheng, who was then the captain of the Divine Arrow, was also kept in the dark.

A year and a half later, Wen Chuming's mission was over and he was transferred to the B City Military Region. His boss was He Xiu. So this time when He Xiu came to S City for a meeting, only Wen Chuming would be in his entourage.

It was also after receiving Wen Chuming's file that He Xiu came into contact with some of the rumors about him and the Captain of the Original Divine Arrow, and was responsible for handling the relevant information.

Those rumors are half-truths and hard to verify. He Xiu only knew that the news of Wen Chuming's suspended animation had caused a lot of shock to Shenjian, and the one who suffered the most was his captain, Pei Yusheng.

When salvaging Wen Chuming's corpse, Pei Yusheng didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, and was finally forced back by his teammates. After confirming Wen Chuming's death, Pei Yusheng did not rest, but directly led the team to take over the lair of the evil lord who murdered Wen Chuming, and removed this long-standing tumor for this area.

The outcome of this case was quite fruitful, and it also prompted the neighboring two countries to reach an official cooperation agreement, which has a far-reaching impact. But Pei Yusheng's condition was getting worse and worse, physically and mentally exhausted. After the commendation meeting, he directly submitted the application for retirement, and left resolutely regardless of the retention.

The impact of Wen Chuming's incident on Pei Yusheng is evident.

However, if there was only this news, He Xiu would not think that Pei Yusheng liked Wen Chuming. The normal thinking should be a deep friendship. What really made him suspicious was what happened after Wen Chuming came to the B city military region.

As Wen Chuming's direct boss, He Xiu received a report reminder from the army doctor.

——The results of the psychological test show that Wen Chuming has a homosexual orientation.

Before He Xiu could find Wen Chuming for ideological work, he found another clue that someone wanted to reveal Wen Chuming's original identity.

The most incredible thing is that the clues point to actually being involved with Pei Yusheng's father.

In addition, the information before Wen Chuming's transfer to City B has not been fully processed, and some ambiguous news began to surface. When dealing with related matters, the news He Xiu received was far bolder than his guesses.

There are rumors that there is an unknown relationship between the captain and the vice-captain.

It is said that the Pei family learned of this matter, and the Pei family was outraged and firmly opposed. It was also the work of the Pei family that Wen Chuming was arranged to fake death, in order to completely cut off the connection between the two.

But Pei Yusheng's choice to retire was completely unexpected. He Xiu found out about the leaking arrangements related to Father Pei, and it seemed that Father Pei couldn't bear to see his son being decadent all day, so he revealed to him that Wen Chuming was still alive.

These rumors have not been spread much, but they have already been said with nose and eyes. If it really spreads, it is related to the two elite talents, and it will definitely cause even more adverse effects.

He Xiu directly snuffed out the news at the source.

However, the rumors were overwhelming. What really worried him was Pei Yusheng's father.

Although Pei Xiaolin doesn't serve in the army, he is an inescapable existence in City B. What's more, he has a big brother who is a lieutenant general. If Pei Xiaolin insisted on taking action, He Xiu would not have permission to do so.

Fortunately, this matter was finally stopped by Lieutenant General Pei.

Not only that, Lieutenant General Pei also directly informed He Xiu and asked him to completely erase all traces. That's why it's never been mentioned again.

He Xiu had never seen Pei Yusheng before, and it was only this afternoon that he put his name on his face for the first time. Judging from Pei Yusheng's reaction, he probably didn't know about Wen Chuming's suspended animation before.

This time his encounter with Wen Chuming didn't know whether it was a joy or a disaster. He Xiu immediately sent the news to Lieutenant General Pei, but the other party didn't give any instructions. He just told He Xiu to report the situation.

That's why He Xiu was so uneasy when there was speculation that Qi Ji might like Pei Yusheng.

He couldn't support Qi Ji's feelings from the bottom of his heart.

Although He Xiu admired this powerful and powerful Pei Er Shao, but if it really involved feelings, he was completely afraid to avoid it. Although the truth of the rumors has not been verified, the possibility of Wen Chuming is already frightening.

If it is really replaced by Qi Ji, who has no anti-reconnaissance experience, then he will not have to be watched all day to see if he will pose a threat to the Pei family?

This is not the key, after all, Pei Yusheng's attitude is still unclear. The person He Xiu was most worried about was Qi Ji.

He Xiu has no prejudice against same-sex feelings, but from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to let the children he regards as his own brothers go down this road. Even if he just heard it, he knew how difficult the road was.

He just wants the child to find his own happiness safely and securely.

But He Xiu also understands that if Qi Ji, who has always been introverted, can be made so obvious, this relationship will definitely not be broken.

He also didn't want the child to be too sad.

With this kind of complicated feelings, at noon the next day, He Xiu sent Qi Zhi out again. He wanted to have a chat with Qi Ji. If his guess was wrong, it would be better.

But before we could talk a few words, He Xiu's wish was dashed.

Before he asked, Qi Ji took the initiative to chat about Pei Yusheng.

"Brother Xiu I have a question for you."

With what he knew about Qi Ji, it was not difficult for He Xiu to see the other party's anxiety. But in fact, except for the time he apologized to himself while chatting in the back alley last night, He Xiu rarely saw Qi Ji express such obvious anxiety.

And what made Qi Ji uneasy was Pei Yusheng.

"Do you know ... about President Pei and Mr. Wen?"

He Xiu stopped stirring the black tea, and then said, "Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

He first asked the question that had been bothering him: "Qi Qi, isn't Pei Er Shao the boss of your company, why does he have so much contact with you? Why did he say you are his friend and let you know about Xiao Wen's thing?"

Qi Ji hesitated, and finally made a brief summary of Pei Yusheng's severe insomnia and his work as a nurse, and told He Xiu.

The more He Xiu listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He always had an inexplicable feeling that his younger brother, who had just recovered, was about to be abducted again.

But Qi Ji's words also aroused He Xiu's vigilance - the first time Pei Yusheng lost control of his insomnia was when Wen Chuming was suspended for death.

Counting the time, didn't sleep for three days when salvaged the corpse. After that, destroyed the nest, accepted the commendation, and applied for retirement... About 20 days later, Pei Yusheng didn't sleep well until he finally suffered from insomnia.

It happened to match Pei Yusheng's situation before he lost control.

What made He Xiu even more unavoidable was that when Wen Chuming first joined the army, he was just nineteen years old.

It was also the same age when Qi sent to Yuntu for an internship.

The two look alike.

He Xiu was afraid after a while. If he came a little later, Pei Ershao might have shifted his target to Qi Qi.

Anyway, He Xiu has absolutely no confidence in the moral integrity of the second generation of the noble family.

Thinking of this, He Xiu suddenly felt that it was better to tell Qi Ji about Pei Yusheng and Wen Chuming.

He avoided the parts that could not be leaked, and chose some insensitive content to briefly say.

In the process of speaking, He Xiu did not miss Qi Ji's expression. Although the child did not express it clearly, the sadness of his body could not hide from He Xiu's eyes.

Now He Xiu just wanted to deceive himself that Qi Ji was not interested in Pei Yusheng, and it was impossible.

Seeing Qi Ji's blank expression, He Xiu couldn't bear it.

He just said that children should not be afraid of other people's likes, but Qi Ji's own likes were about to fail.

But even if he couldn't bear it, He Xiu had to tell Qi Ji what happened before. He didn't want Qi Ji to be hurt, but long pain is worse than short pain, the road of being of the same sex is really not easy to take.

Pei Yusheng is not a good crush object.

After talking about Wen Chuming, the boy in front of him didn't speak for a long time, staring blankly at the strawberry cake that had only been touched.

He Xiu stayed quiet for a while with the others, and finally made his own suggestion: "Qi Qi, don't work part-time with Pei Er Shao, okay? If you really want to earn some subsidies, why don't you go to that club last night? I can help you, there are soldiers that I have brought before, and I can also help you."

The boy opened his dry lips, but didn't make a sound. He Xiu looked at him and said again: "Or if you don't want to do it, just stop the part-time job first. Anyway, you are already very busy with your internship, and you have to finish the project next semester, so you can concentrate on graduation."

Qi Ji hesitated for a long time before finally nodding: "Okay...I'll think about it."

He forced a smile: "Thank you, brother."

He Xiu reached out and rubbed his hair: "Why are you being polite to your brother?"

He Xiu had other arrangements in the afternoon, and he sent someone to send Qi Ji back. When returned to the company, happened to have a new job. Fortunately, it occupied Qi Ji's time to think wildly.

He also became addicted to smoking. Fortunately, he was so busy with work that he managed to suppress it.

Qi Ji didn't get off work until after seven o'clock.

He originally wanted to stay at the company for a while, but Li Anbei came to him and said that he would go to the newly opened restaurant for dinner with some friends. Qi Ji didn't want to be alone, so he agreed.

But as soon as he walked out of the company, Qi Ji was stunned.

He saw the familiar Mercedes-Benz Big G, Pei Yusheng's car.

And it wasn't Pei Yusheng who got out of the car.

It is Wen Chuming.

"Qi...Qi Qi?"

Qi Ji was in a trance for a few seconds before hearing Li Anbei's voice.

"What's the matter, Qi Qi? Let's go." Li Anbei was puzzled.

He followed Qi Ji's line of sight.

"Hey, is that President Pei's car?"

Before Li Anbei looked back, he heard Qi Ji's soft and fast voice coming from behind him.

"Sorry, senior, I suddenly thought that my brother has something to do tonight. I'll go back first and invite a few people to dinner another day."

Tonight is not an important occasion. Although it is a pity, Li Anbei still said: "It's okay, the business is important, you go back first..."

But before he could finish his words, Qi Ji hurried away.

Li Anbei was puzzled.

Are you in such a hurry?

The whistling wind slid past his ears, and the bone-chilling chill made people's hands and feet cold. Qi Ji quickly ran to a convenience store and bought a pack of cigarettes.

His fingers were shaking when he lit the cigarette.

Like a thirsty person who has been dehydrated for several days, sucking on his salty blood, and like a person who has lost his strength hanging in the abyss. Grabbing a rough rope and rubbing his flesh and sliding down, Qi Ji took a sharp puff of cigarette , The spicy and pungent smell choked him to tears.

The unbearable pain that almost drove people crazy was finally suppressed a little.

A neat box of cigarettes was squeezed into a ball at some point, and the creases were all over it, and it was wrinkled into a shape that could not be seen.

The convenience store does not allow smoking, so Qi Ji finally walked back to the Rose Villa alone.

The villa was dark and empty.

Qi Ji bit the half-lit cigarette with deep tooth marks.

Pei Yusheng did not come back, nor did he tell him in advance that he would not come back.

Smoking indoors will smell bad, so Qi sent it to the balcony on the second floor. It's cold here, but behind a sliding door behind you is the master bedroom.

It's Pei Yusheng's bedroom.

Qi Ji lit the cigarette again, and the dim light disappeared in the dark night.

He was smoking one by one, and finally had to accept this fact.

Things have finally come to this point.

Qi Ji didn't understand it before, but now he understands, but he's already out of the game. He hadn't had time to be happy that he could make Pei Yusheng fall asleep, but the original owner who really affected Pei Yusheng's sleep came back.

Yes. It was a timely reminder, he thought.

Remind him not to be delusional.

It wasn't until he finished smoking a whole pack of cigarettes that Qi Ji returned to the master bedroom with a low cough.

The cold wind of the winter night blew him so cold that he was completely frozen. The huge villa was empty, and the heat produced by machinery was useless to Qi Ji.

His eyes fell on the wardrobe that opened a slit.

A corner of the clothes was exposed inside, which was a plush pajamas, with a tempting warmth.

In the end, Qi Ji still didn't walk over.

The person who asked for these clothes to be used as work clothes is not there, and he is not qualified to go beyond the rules.

Qi Ji looked down at the phone, the screen was empty, and there was still no message reminder from Pei Yusheng.

With his back against the edge of the bed, he slowly lowered his body and sat on the hard floor with his knees bent.

There was something hanging down beside him, touching Qi Ji's arm.

He turned his head.

It's the long tail of that cat doll.

Qi Ji stared at the tail for a while, but finally took out his eyes, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the familiar number.

Resignation also requires a phone call.

He persuaded himself so that he wanted his frozen fingertips to stop trembling.But the deafening voice of the call rang, and it turned into a mechanical female voice.

"Hello, the number you dialed is on the phone..."

Qi Ji's phone call was directly hung up by Pei Yusheng.
