The difference between cloud and mud

About eating with Yongping, Jiang Tong asked Li Qianqian to keep the team strictly confidential. The research and development of btk27 and cd30 are at a critical stage. Shaking the morale of the army at this time is asking for a dead end.However, he worked overtime until late at night, and Zhang Yuan's kind and determined smile still lingered in his mind.

Zhang Yuan's offer is too tempting - money is one aspect, Li Qianqian didn't understand, but he got her hint exactly.Lu Wei may not be as proud as he thought in Yongping.The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows. If Jiang Tong is willing, Lu Wei will pay the price for what he did before.

There are also Yongping's resources.After accepting the investment, he no longer has to endure the endless open and secret fights between Song Jiaqi and Fang Yuan, and he doesn't have to personally visit the gates of investment institutions one by one.They would line up to find him.Jiang Tong doubted that apart from Li Qianqian, none of his subordinates would reject this offer. After all, after Yongping entered the game, the value of the options in their hands would more than double.

However he refused.Because of an inexplicable premonition of danger, and because of my own stupid idealism, I rejected a path that might lead to everyone's happiness.

This is a situation that almost never happened after graduating from university——Jiang Tong didn't know if he made the right choice.

Great secrets, dangerous confusion, can't be announced, only fermented in the heart.Jiang Tong's typing on the keyboard was getting slower and slower, and when he came back to his senses, he found Xiao Fengtai's shrunk head portrait smiling at him on the mobile phone communication software.

Always, he smiled wryly.The body is always more honest than the mind.

What did Xiao Fengtai say?Jiang Tong thought nothing of himself, from Hua Yu's standpoint, the offer from Yongping was simply wishful thinking.The value of Huaqing in the primary market can be imagined after the deal is concluded that the returning biological rookie teamed up with the domestic established pharmaceutical company.

He must not reveal any information to Xiao Fengtai.

After twelve o'clock, the building's central control system automatically turned off the lights, and Jiang Tong sat in the silent darkness.The computer screen in the screensaver state emits a faint blue light, illuminating a small area in front of him.However, the brightness is seriously insufficient, like a small gas lamp in the wind and rain, which will go out with a bang at any time.

Jiang Tong suddenly felt lonely.

He thinks he is popular.Mentors, friends from college, brothers and sisters in the laboratory, his students, subordinates in the company... Few people hate him.He is always so kind, hard-working, not only reliable, but also kind-hearted and helpful.He is used to listening to other people's confusion and troubles, and being their lighthouse and compass.His senior year was the bottom of his life. After that, he tried harder to hide his weakness, hesitation and loneliness.In the eyes of others trusting and looking up, he got a kind of tingling pleasure from it.As time goes by, sometimes even he himself will believe that he is a perfect person, he will not be confused, life is full of unknowns, but he is determined and confident that he can control his own destiny.

But at this moment, in the darkness, in the silence, loneliness is like a sea tide, gradually surging, drowning him.Jiang Tong suddenly felt that he was just a functional role to others, an npc who clicked on to seek tips when encountering difficulties in the game.The contacts stored in his mobile phone are located in various time zones, and they affectionately call him brother, professor, boss, buddy.But if he revealed to them what he was thinking at the moment—no need to tell the core secret, even if it was just his confusion, hesitation, or a little dark thought, his image in their hearts would completely collapse.

Except for one person.The witness of the ugliest moment in his life, only he has witnessed his weakness, his unsightly desire under the shell of hypocrisy.Jiang Tongfu felt deeply in his heart, he suddenly understood why he couldn't help himself again and again, and why he has continued to have a ridiculous physical relationship with Xiao Fengtai.Only in front of Xiao Fengtai, he couldn't pretend, nor was he able to pretend.Jiang Tong felt the relaxation from the depths of his soul in their back and forth, in the sharp eyes of the former students, and in the moment when the body was intertwined with the soul and flesh.

Jiang Tong smiled bitterly.He knew how failed his image in Xiao Fengtai's heart was.He's an emotional liar, a hypocrite, a half-assed Golddigger...but what does it matter?Above all these, he was convinced that in Xiao Fengtai's heart, Jiang Tong was a real and complete person with flesh and blood.

Before hesitation overcomes impulsiveness, Jiang Tong quickly opened WeChat and sent several messages to Xiao Fengtai.He slammed the phone into the drawer, and when he heard the muffled buzzing, his heart was beating violently.

He crossed the line.Jiang Tong knew this well, and was mentally prepared to be ridiculed by Xiao Fengtai and then rejected.Yet at this moment, he felt he had no choice.

He wanted to see him like crazy.

In retrospect, Xiao Fengtai and Jiang Tong didn't quite remember what was in that musical.

Confused and "why did he want to meet with me", shocked by "he actually agreed".At the last moment, the two suspected that the other party would not appear, and stepped on the line to reach the concert hall while hesitating. The moment they saw the other party's appearance, the same surprise appeared on each other's faces.Fortunately, the concert hall is dark enough. On the stage, after you sing, I will appear on the stage, and the gongs and drums are singing and dancing, which is enough to cover up their violent heartbeats and peeking at each other from time to time.

There is also an interlude at the end of the musical.A couple sat in the front row. The man contacted the troupe to surprise the girl in advance. The handsome stage actor brought a large bouquet of roses to the girl's seat. In the dark, their seats were locked by an aperture, and a diamond ring shone on the top of the rose. Hui.The lights were bright, the girl cried and said I would, and the audience applauded thunderously.Countless mobile phones were pointed at them, and Jiang Tong and Xiao Fengtai had to bend down as much as possible, so as not to overwhelm the host and destroy the harmony of the camera.

Despite the inconvenience caused to others, the happiness of the young couple is so intense that it is almost tangible.Perhaps inspired by this mysterious force, Jiang Tong and Xiao Fengtai did not go straight to the hotel after the play, but got into a bar near the theater.

The small bar has a simple appearance, but there is no winter inside.The decoration style in the 30s and [-]s in the United States, the lighting is dim and ambiguous, and jazz records are playing in the gramophone.The strings of the cello were gurgling, and couples of men and women whispered around the small table, like mandarin ducks necking each other.With one upturned lip, tap your finger lightly, and draw circles on the bare skin of the opponent's arm. The expression and body shape are blurred in the yellowish shadow, dim, chronic and sensual stimulation.

Xiao Fengtai ordered a glass of Japanese whiskey, sipped it lightly, and raised his eyebrows: "Pretty good—better than I thought."

"This is part of your plan?" The wine was like warm water, gradually filling his chest, he held the glass and drew a virtual circle around: "First the musical, and then this place... What other tricks do you have prepared?"

Jiang Tong's eyes were hidden in the shadows: "I have no plan.

Xiao Fengtai supported his palm with one hand, smiled half-truthfully and said: "Mr. Jiang, you are much more interesting than ten years ago."

"What's the matter calling me out?"

The wine slowly flowed down his throat, but Jiang Tong felt his mouth dry for a while.

"It's nothing..." He whispered, "I just want to see you suddenly."

Xiao Fengtai laughed: "It sounds weird, it doesn't look like you at all. If we meet for the first time, I will think you want to chase me."

"Otherwise?" The man put down his wine glass and smiled deeply.The way he laughed made Xiao Fengtai feel strange: "Why do you think it is?"

Xiao Fengtai's heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Tong was drunk.He subconsciously clenched the wine glass and repeated in his heart that Jiang Tong must be drunk.

This drunk will wake up tomorrow morning and will be ashamed of what he did today and evaporate in place.But that was twelve hours later.At this moment, Jiang Tong stared at Xiao Fengtai with burning eyes.He had no choice but to snort coldly, hiding his bewilderment with a look of contempt.

"It's time for me to ask you. Give me a strong enough reason. My personal time is limited and I don't want to waste it on you."

As if that wasn't enough, he added, "If you were actually flirting with me just now—hope God you weren't so stupid—I have to say, your technique sucks, sucks."

Jiang Tong just laughed, as if Xiao Fengtai just told a particularly wonderful joke.Let the waiter bring a glass of ice water and pour it on his face.Xiao Fengtai was anxiously thinking wildly in his heart.The bastard has no idea what he's doing.How could he...how could... After all, they shouldn't have appeared at the same time outside of the hotel at all!If anyone sees it, everything will be over!

He couldn't stay any longer.Xiao Fengtai gave up communicating with the drunk, picked up his coat, wallet and mobile phone on the round stool, got up and left without saying a word.He can't go crazy with him.It has been ten years, even if Jiang Tong has not improved, he is no longer what he used to be, and he is no longer the idiot and rebellious boy who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

He took a step forward and couldn't move anymore.Jiang Tong took his hand.

A tremor in the depths of the soul spread to the whole body, Xiao Fengtai turned his back to Jiang Tong, thankful that the light in the bar was so dim.No one noticed them in the corner.He was silent, only his chest heaved violently, and Jiang Tong's hands were hot, as if the vodka he drank had turned into a liquid flame that traveled all over his body.He tightly clasped Xiao Fengtai's fingers with such force that he could almost feel the pain from friction between the bones.

"Let go" Xiao Fengtai said in a low voice: "Just pretend that what happened today never happened, and we won't meet again unless there are necessary occasions."

Jiang Tong didn't let go.Instead, he approached him step by step.Xiao Fengtai's whole body was stiff, and he felt Jiang Tong's breath behind his ears.Humid and hot, rushing, heavy, does his heart beat as fast as his?

"The first time we met ten years ago, I wanted to fuck you." Jiang Tong whispered in his ear, with a calm ferocity hidden in his tone, as if he was full of flesh and blood.

"You are beautiful and proud. You hate whoever likes who is naked on your face, and you don't bother to hide a single bit. You move your fingers, and there are [-] ways to humiliate me. The first time we met was Liqiu solar terms, six At thirty o'clock, the sun is halfway down. I am sitting on a chair, and you are standing by the desk, less than ten steps away, but I know in my heart that I will never be able to reach you for the rest of my life."

"You were so stupid back then, what did I like? Those... those illusions you loved, I pretended, because I like to see you worshiping me, I have pleasure, do you understand? Pleasure! "

"Your grandma is right, your father is right, your family is wise and powerful, only you—you didn't see through me until the last moment. Yes, I am hypocritical, weak, selfish, greedy, and I want so much. I want to engrave my name in the history of science, but I don't want to be a tragic scientist who died. I want to gain both fame and fortune, and be admired and worshiped. No one will look down on me anymore, and no one can fiddle with me casually destiny!"

"Xiao Fengtai, aren't you curious? Aren't you curious about how I've lived these ten years? You never asked, I don't think you care at all. But I'm going to tell you today, I haven't forgotten you for a day in these ten years .”

He laughed lowly: "How dare I forget. During those few months ten years ago, the shadow of your whole life was the sweetest moment in my life! You are the stars and the moon in the sky, the human form made of gold and jade. I lived in the mud all my life. Rolling in the ground can't catch any edge. Why did it happen by accident-"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Fengtai turned around and kissed him deeply with redoubled ferocity and enthusiasm.

The two of them were almost out of oxygen before panting and separated, but their foreheads touched each other, and a few scattered bangs were entangled with each other.If there is no time, Xiao Fengtai's lips are pressed against Jiang Tong's cheek. They are too close, their consciousness is blurred, and their bodies become one. It is his voice, borrowing his vocal cords to resonate.

"I've said enough tonight," Xiao Fengtai murmured.

"Give you a chance to prove to me that what you said is true."

His voice became very soft, immersed in the noise of countless people laughing, making noise, flirting, and pouring wine, it was almost like a sigh.

"Stop lying to me."
