clear road dust

The door of the guest bedroom was gently pushed open, and Shen Junhuai walked in.

Lu Qingchen was lying there with his head still at an upward angle. Under the moonlight, his face was pale and transparent, the tails of his eyes were reddish, as if he had fallen asleep.

Shen Junhuai lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.He hugged him from behind, pressing his chest against his back, and planted a kiss on the top of his hair.

"It's all right." The voice in his ears was low and hoarse, and the eardrums trembled. Shen Junhuai kissed him from the top of his hair to his neck. His warm lips and prickly stubble aroused goosebumps all over his body.

Shen Junhuai kissed his exposed skin carefully, wrapped his hands tightly around his waist from behind, and murmured again: "Don't be afraid to go out anymore, do whatever you want, go wherever you want where to go."

Shen Junhuai turned him over, facing himself, stroked his cheek with his rough fingertips, and kissed his eyes and the tip of his nose.

"Just now... what Shen Yun said in the study is just children's nonsense, don't take it seriously, and don't think too much about it." Shen Junhuai's breath was heavy, and the ice faded when he became gentle, "...I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, I didn't protect you when you were hurt, I'm sorry, I hurt you a second time out of control.

Tears welled up from Lu Qingchen, he buried his face in that familiar chest, crying hoarsely, like a little beast that has finally returned to its lair after all kinds of hardships and dangers, pouring out the fear and grievances accumulated for too long From choking to howling, I exhausted all my strength.

What he wants has always been simple, a hug is enough.

After breakfast the next day, Shen Junhuai and Lu Qingchen sent Shen Yun to the airport.

Shen Yun stared at Lu Qingchen's swollen peach-like eyes, hesitant to speak several times.Before going through the security check, he finally couldn't help it, and quietly pulled Shen Junhuai aside, and said falteringly: "Xiao Lu is so pitiful, uncle, you can't do anything anymore, and you can't even scold him."

Shen Junhuai stared at him, too angry to speak.

Shen Yun shrank her neck in embarrassment: "Uncle, as the old saying goes, it's a pleasure to abuse your wife for a while, and you must..."

Shen Junhuai slapped it, and the baseball cap on Shen Yun's head flew out.He was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth, and ran out a long way in an instant. Without thinking about what to say, he dragged Rob and Ah Han to the security checkpoint.

Lu Qingchen watched the blue-haired boy pass the security check, turned around and waved goodbye to him at the last moment, and couldn't help but get red eyes again.

This young man who has been with him for just a month, but has been with him to protect him, trying to make him happy, I don't know if there will be fate to see him again in the future.

Shen Junhuai stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders, and said, "Don't be sad, that kid can't bear to part with you either, he will come to see you again next time he is on vacation."

Seeing that Lu Qingchen was in a daze, Shen Junhuai didn't say any more, and took him away.

The two walked towards the airport parking lot, and met a large wave of passengers coming out of the international exit, and several of them were still carrying drawing boards.Lu Qingchen stopped, looked curiously, and suddenly a loud laugh came from behind: "Qingchen, why are you here?"

Lu Qingchen turned his head and saw Zhan Yue looking at him with surprise not far away, and then walked over a few steps.

When Zhan Yue stood still, he found the tall man standing beside Lu Qingchen. The man was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, handsome and stern, looking at him expressionlessly.Zhan Yue was startled for a while, then smiled at Lu Qingchen: "What a coincidence, Qingchen, I thought you knew I was coming back and came to pick me up specially!"

"I came to the airport to see people off." Lu Qingchen said.He also didn't expect to meet Zhan Yue, since the last time he rejected the other party's invitation to go to northern Europe to see the aurora, the two haven't been in touch for a long time.

He was afraid of being left alone, so he said again: "Did you just come back from the Arctic Village?"

"Yeah, I took the plane for more than ten hours. But this trip is worth the money. You should also go to see the magnificence and romance of the aurora. It will definitely inspire you." Zhan Yue looked a little regretful.

"...I will go if I have the chance." Lu Qingchen continued with some embarrassment.

Zhan Yue smiled, glanced in Shen Junhuai's direction, and finally brought the topic to the other party: "Who is this gentleman?"

"Oh, this is my lover." Lu Qingchen hastily introduced.After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Junhuai, and said in a low voice, "This is Mr. Zhan Yue, the person in charge of Hanxing Painting Club."

Shen Junhuai stretched out his hand and greeted in a distant tone: "Hello, Mr. Zhan. Thank you Han Xing for affirming and exhibiting my lover's works. I will definitely come to the door to thank you some other day." He said thank you, but there was no gratitude on his face.

Zhan Yue also said politely: "Qingchen is very talented, it is also an honor for our painting club to sign him."

The corner of Shen Junhuai's mouth curled up, and he said lightly: "Mr. Zhan is objective."

Zhan Yue: "..."

Lu Qingchen was stunned. He had known Shen Junhuai for so long, but he had never discovered that the man of science and technology could talk like this.

He coughed in embarrassment: "Well, let's go first, Mr. Zhan, you should go back earlier!" After saying that, he pulled Shen Junhuai's sleeve, signaling him to leave quickly.

Shen Junhuai looked at Zhan Yue with a meaningful expression on his face. He said goodbye and left with Lu Qingchen.

Zhan Yue stood where he was, and didn't come to his senses until their backs blended into the crowd and disappeared.

"That person looks familiar just now." An old painter who was traveling with Zhan Yue stepped forward and looked at the direction Lu Qingchen left with some doubts.

Zhan Yue: "That's Lu Qingchen, a newly signed artist from our painting club."

"I know Xiaolu, I mean the person next to him looks like... like Shen Junhuai." The old painter said that he had heard Shen Junhuai's speech at an international summit forum, and he was very impressed. The first time he saw him here Seeing me, I was quite surprised, "I didn't hear that he came to China, why is he with Xiaolu?"

Zhan Yue didn't answer his question, but said: "Shen Junhuai is a professor of Binhai United University!"

Old painter: "Oh, I heard that Xiaolu has a boyfriend who is a professor at Binhai Lianhe University. I didn't expect it to be him. However, how can Lianhe University invite this big Buddha? Maybe it's just a visiting professor!"

The two chatted all the way into the car, the old painter was so absorbed in gossip that he didn't notice Zhan Yue's downcast face.

Zhan Yue and Fang He Du Qian can be regarded as people in the same circle. The Fang family started out in art collection and exhibition, and cooperated with Han Xing in the early years.After Fang and Du's family had an accident, Zhan Yue once saw a video of Fang He and Du Qian being abused on a cruise ship from his friends. The man who did it couldn't see his face clearly, but his body shape was easy to identify. In addition, he heard some rumors , Zhan Yue immediately judged that the man was Shen Junhuai who had just met.

After figuring out a few places, the whole picture appeared vaguely.

There were rumors that Fang He and Du Qian had hurt a young painter who had just graduated from school. Now it seems that the victim should be Lu Qingchen, so Shen Junhuai was cruel to these two people.The Fang and Du families also collapsed and completely withdrew from Nancheng. With Shen Junhuai's background, it was not impossible.

Zhan Yue's heart cooled down, and a vague idea popped up in his mind.

It was no secret that he asked Lu Qingchen to sign a contract for dinner that time, and many Hanxing staff knew about it.It was such a coincidence that it was Du Qian who called him back during the meal and said he wanted to pick up a painting.After he arrived at the painting club, he was dragged by Du Qian to chat. When he hurried back, he found that Lu Qingchen had left.He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, he just thought that the other party had left beforehand.Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that he was transferred away from the mountain, and someone did something to Lu Qingchen while he was away.

If it was as he expected, wouldn't he be an accomplice invisibly?It's no wonder that no matter how much he asked Lu Qingchen later, the other party refused to come out.

Zhan Yue took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the owner of the private restaurant.

He wanted to check his guess one last time.

The message came before Zhan Yue's car drove home from the airport.

It's a video about 10 minutes long.

In the video, not long after he left, Fang He appeared at the door of the box.There was no monitoring in the box, so we couldn't see what happened, but we could hear the clear sounds of things being smashed and porcelain breaking.A few minutes later, Lu Qingchen ran out of the box, and Fang He followed closely behind.

The camera changed, Lu Qingchen stumbled through the hall, ran outside the gate, and was stopped by a man who seemed to know him well, while Fang He who chased him just stood at the gate without making any further movements.

Zhan Yue looked at the phone and paused on the spot.

He could see clearly that Lu Qingchen who ran out had blood on his hands and face, and people could feel the other party's fear and panic through the screen.

He braced his forehead, put the phone on his knees, and took a barely audible breath.
