Sunset Boulevard

At six o'clock in the morning, they set off from the safe house to Laem Chabang Port.

Chen Boqiao took the initiative to pick up the suitcase and went downstairs with Zhang Jue.

When he reached the ground downstairs, Zhang Jue looked back.

Chen Boqiao was walking down half a flight of stairs, carrying a large-sized suitcase horizontally, as easily as carrying a briefcase.Zhang Jue dressed him a little sloppily, with a big beard, a shirt and trousers that can cover all the scars all over his body, and an electronic watch on his wrist, which at first glance fit the temperament of the interior of the cruise ship.Seeing Zhang Jue turning his head, he naturally smiled at Zhang Jue.

He got down and saw that Zhang Jue was still not moving, so he went to the car first and opened the rear door.

The sky above the low shanty houses and masonry buildings is still dull and light gray in the west, but the orange-yellow morning glow has risen in the east, like a few streaks of oil paint on an ink painting.

Chen Boqiao stood under the oil paint. He was tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. He stooped and put the suitcase on the back seat. With a push, he closed the door neatly and told Zhang Jue, "Don't be dazed, come here." Then sat in the passenger seat.

Zhang Jue walked over slowly, got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and put it in forward gear.

For the first half hour, they listened to the morning news and barely talked.

The cool wind rushed in through the narrow gap of the car windows, and there was a refreshing smell of Bangkok in the car. They drove southeast along the narrow road, into the morning light and tropical trees.

From the accident on the freighter to boarding the cruise ship, they spent eight days in Bangkok with long nights and dreams. It seemed as long as eight years together, but as short as 8 minutes.Zhang Jue's muscles have not yet formed the memory of the best angle to hold hands with Chen Boqiao, but his head seems to hide a camera, taking every frame of Chen Boqiao clearly.

The one who said "I'll try it with you", the one who took the Erawan Buddha incense candle bought by Zhang Jue, the one who stood in front of the doll wall with great interest, the one who hugged Zhang Jue in the bathroom to have sex, and the one who got away in the evening wind because Zhang Jue was too nervous The handsome and young Chen Boqiao who sat in the driver's seat because he didn't have a good car.

The sky is gradually turning white, and the morning news is coming to an end.

The weather in Bangkok city will be sunny to cloudy.The typhoon of category [-] made landfall on the Big Island and turned to the north of the Asian continent. The independent country of Thailand survived.Chen Boqiao of the Asian League has not been arrested yet. Thank you for listening to this morning news. Goodbye.

After the end music of the show.They turned onto a larger road.

In the long road ahead, there was an embarrassing incident for Zhang Jue.

On the large rental signs along the road, almost all of them displayed the advertisements of the hospital where Zhang Jue had been treated.The name of the hospital is the same as before, but with a prefix of a certain group in the Asian Federation.

When Zhang Jue came to familiarize himself with the route the day before yesterday, he made a special trip around the best route. Both sides of other roads were also full of billboards of this hospital.

But the embarrassment only belonged to Zhang Jue. Even if Chen Boqiao asked, he probably wouldn't seriously interrogate him. After all, he was very polite and not too curious.

Zhang Jue drove forward in silence, Chen Boqiao first turned the back of the seat back and leaned on it to rest, but after a while, Chen Boqiao suddenly sat up a little, as if he started to look at the billboards outside.

Zhang Jue noticed it and began to feel restless.

When driving on a high bridge, Chen Boqiao suddenly said, "The hospital on the billboard looks familiar." Zhang Jue didn't know what to reply, so Chen Boqiao asked again, "Have you ever been to that hospital?"

Zhang decided to jump and sped up slightly, but he was still calm: "Yeah."

"What kind of treatment does this hospital provide?" Chen Boqiao lay down again, and his voice came from the position behind Zhang Jue.

Chen Boqiao's tone made Zhang Jue think that he just saw the advertisement and chatted casually.Zhang was determined to make a point, and simply said: "It's a psychological hospital, and it mainly does a patented physical therapy."

Chen Boqiao paused for two seconds and commented: "The concept is very new."

He read the words on the billboard: "Forget the pain and return to life." Then he smiled and called Zhang Jue's name: "Zhang Jue?"

Zhang Jue answered him, "What's the matter?" Chen Boqiao asked, "What pain did you forget?"

Chen Boqiao spoke with a smile, as if he was just jokingly asking, and his tone was very gentle, which made Zhang Jue feel safe and let go of his guard.

"It's about the surgery." Zhang Jue held the steering wheel tightly and looked ahead, "Gland surgery."

Chen Boqiao gave a "hmm" and said peacefully: "It's good to forget about these things." Then he said as if remembering suddenly: "But isn't it useless?"

"Yes," Zhang Jue remembered that he had said it to Ai Jiaxi, and perhaps Chen Boqiao also remembered it, so he admitted, "It's useless."

"Oh." Chen Boqiao paused and asked, "How many times have you come here to do it?"

Zhang Jue turned around according to the navigation, quickly measured the number of times to say, and then told Chen Boqiao: "One course of treatment in half a year, seven times."

Zhang Jue heard the sound of the seat moving, Chen Boqiao straightened the back of the chair, and sat side by side with Zhang Jue.Zhang Jue could see Chen Boqiao from the corner of his eye. Although he drove a big car, the distance between the seats was not too far.

Chen Boqiao turned his head sideways, looked at Zhang Jue, stretched out his hand to touch the back of Zhang Jue's hand that was pressing the gear lever, and pinched Zhang Jue's wrist.

"Seven times in half a year, are you tired?" Chen Boqiao said.

Chen Boqiao's hands were not delicate, the calluses holding the gun rubbed against Zhang Jue's skin, and he rubbed lightly without using any force.

Zhang Jue's voice became quieter, and he said low and quickly: "Fortunately, I'm fine."

Chen Boqiao still clasped his hand, touched his fingertips, Zhang Jue let go of the gear lever, and let Chen Boqiao caress his palm.

It was bright, like the day they drove from the town to Bangkok, the sun was high and the wind was hot.

Chen Boqiao closed the car window and turned on the air conditioner.

He didn't ask Zhang Jue if it hurt like Ai Jiaxi did, and started the next topic, which made Zhang Jue feel a little more relaxed.Chen Boqiao said that the opening of the gene lock is more complicated, and he talked about some procedures, but Zhang Jue listened to half of it and missed half.In the end, he heard what Chen Boqiao said clearly, and Chen Boqiao said: "It may not be possible to drive for you in the short term, I will try to do it as soon as possible."

Sometimes what Chen Boqiao said was too subtle, and he needed to think about it before he could understand it, but this time Zhang Jue understood it immediately.

Zhang Jue felt that the sun was too dazzling after sunrise, and the road to Laem Chabang Port was too far away, so he asked Chen Boqiao for sunglasses and put them on.

Chen Boqiao looked at him from the side, and said: "You have brought this big." After speaking, he held the edge of the sunglasses with his hands, and pressed them in for Zhang Jue.Chen Boqiao's fingers caressed Zhang Jue's cheeks, and the warm fingertips rested on Zhang Jue's chin and lip line.

Zhang Jue felt that Chen Boqiao was petting a fairly obedient cat, but also felt that it might be more than that.

Chen Boqiao withdrew his hand shortly after, and said to Zhang Jue, "I'll tell you the plan after getting on the boat."

Zhang Jue nodded, and drove forward sullenly, saying goodbye to Bangkok was like saying goodbye to Chen Poqiao, rationally knew that it would be sooner or later, but his emotions were still pulling ugly and did not want to let go.

The port was getting closer, and he could hear the whistle of the ship.He drove into the parking lot and got out of the car with Chen Boqiao.

Before entering the boarding hall, Chen Boqiao put the suitcase on the ground, grabbed his hand, took off his sunglasses, and kissed him.

Chen Boqiao held Zhang Jue's chin, so even if Zhang Jue wanted to hide, he couldn't dodge.

The kiss was comforting and lasted for a long time.

Chen Boqiao moved away from him a little, as if he wanted to say something, this was the first time Zhang Jue saw Chen Boqiao hesitate.

After a few seconds, Chen Boqiao said to Zhang Jue, "Don't be unhappy."

Zhang Jue nodded, Chen Boqiao said nothing, picked up the box again, and walked into the hall with Zhang Jue.
