Sunset Boulevard

Chen Boqiao slept very lightly, and as soon as Zhang Jue turned over and sat up, Chen Boqiao woke up.

The room was gray, Zhang Jue didn't turn on the light, and stood by the bed, changing clothes with his back to Chen Boqiao.With his head down, he pulled the T-shirt off his body, exposing his thin back, and then changed into the jacket he was wearing when he went out. Then he leaned over to take the tablet computer, and stood at the end of the bed looking at things like a punishment.

Chen Boqiao looked at it for a while, and suddenly thought that Zhang Jue might just stand there blankly because he was afraid that the mattress would collapse when he sat down and would wake him up.

Zhang Jue looked at it for half a minute, then suddenly put the tablet aside, took the rubber band from the low cabinet, raised his arm, and flicked out the hair caught in the collar with the opposite hand, tied it low, and then picked up the tablet to continue look.The black hair hangs down on the back of Zhang Jue's fair neck, looking soft and docile.

Chen Boqiao remembered the touch of Zhang Jue's hair, it was very soft, just like Zhang Jue himself, it was harmless to Chen Boqiao.

After arriving in Thailand, when Chen Boqiao contacted Pei Shu for the first time, Pei Shu commented on Zhang Jue's "stubbornness" and asked Chen Boqiao to stay away from Zhang Jue.

Whether he should stay away from Zhang Jue or not, Chen Boqiao himself would think about it, but he thought that Pei Shu used the word stubborn.

There is a kind of contradictory temperament in Zhang Jue, who is both stubborn and timid.Sometimes he is reliable, meticulous in planning, cautious in his actions, and his arrangements are watertight, as if he has implanted the map of the Independent State of Thailand in his mind; sometimes he is stupid, such as leaving such a large deposit for the pet hospital when he sees social news about animal cruelty in the hospital , as if the lame pastoral cat that Chen Boqiao picked up casually was a purebred competition-level baby.

Whenever Chen Boqiao teased him casually, he would show a nervous expression, like a feline whose tail was grabbed by an invisible hand, trying to hide his panic and try to calm down, which is very interesting.

But regarding Zhang Jue, Chen Boqiao thinks that Pei Shu is wrong about one thing.

Even if they attended the dinner together, the most unpopular alpha in the audience should still be Pei Shu - at least the Wen receptionist at the pet hospital likes Zhang Jue a lot.

Chen Boqiao was recalling the message that the receptionist had sent to Zhang Jue, and Zhang Jue glanced back.

Seeing Chen Boqiao's eyes open, Zhang Jue was startled, turned on the wall lamp, and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

"Wake up." Chen Boqiao sat up.

"Did I wake you up?" Zhang Jue opened his eyes wide and confirmed to Chen Boqiao.

If Chen Boqiao told the truth, Zhang Jue would probably put on that dejected face that made Chen Boqiao amused again.But early in the morning, Chen Boqiao felt that it was unnecessary, so he denied it: "No, wake up naturally."

"Well, I'm watching the news. An important media of the Asian Union released a book of doubts late last night," Zhang Jue said, and he handed the tablet to Chen Boqiao to read. Signed and published."

Chen Boqiao discovered very early on that the news that Zhang Jue was willing to show him had to be the kind that was absolutely beneficial to Chen Boqiao and would not have a negative impact on his mood.

As for the piece of international news that Chen Boqiao listened to in the old pickup truck last time, Zhang decided to cut it off before hearing half of it.

Chen Boqiao took the tablet and roughly read the text on the screen.

At first glance, this doubtful book was written by Pei Shu and his advisers. The text eloquently stated the unreasonableness of Chen Boqiao's escape from prison at this time, starting with the probability of success of the appeal, and then to the large-scale demands of the entire league to publish it. The demonstration of the original document of Chen Boqiao's criminal evidence was forced to cool down, interspersed with hints about the possibility of the president directing and acting himself.

According to the news, half an hour after the book of doubts was published, the presidential palace held an emergency press conference to respond to several points in the book of doubts. Three days after the announcement, the president would make a public speech on the matter.

But everyone was not satisfied with the response from the Presidential Palace. After the press conference, the questioning voices intensified, asking why the President took three days to come forward, whether it was because no one had written the speech, or because he was in a hurry to transfer Colonel Chen to a more secret place. and so on.

If it wasn't for Chen Boqiao himself to come up with this idea, he would almost believe that he is now imprisoned in a secret prison by the president, waiting to be executed.

"Imagination is very rich." Chen Boqiao sighed and returned the tablet to Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue took it, put it aside, walked to the end of the bed, and took out the wallet and keys from the bag.

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue's movements and asked, "Are you going out now?"

Zhang Jue nodded: "Go buy some breakfast. I have contacted my friend, and I will go to see him in the afternoon." Then he asked Chen Boqiao: "What do you want to eat?"

"As you wish." Chen Boqiao said.

Zhang Jue didn't force Chen Boqiao to answer, he said "OK" and went out.

There was no TV set in this safe room, Chen Boqiao changed his clothes, went to the small living room to listen to the radio for a while, and Zhang Jue came back.

He took the breakfast bread and coffee, put them on the coffee table and small dining table in the living room, and unpacked them for Chen Boqiao.

After taking a sip of coffee, Chen Boqiao observed Zhang Jue and asked, "Will you take me with you this afternoon?"

Zhang Jue glanced at Chen Boqiao, and asked, "Do you want to go?" He was probably afraid that Chen Boqiao would feel that his rhetorical question might be reluctance, so he added: "If you want, I'll make it for you after eating." The way it was yesterday."

"Okay." Chen Boqiao nodded to Zhang Jue, smiled again, Zhang Jue lowered his head, and took another bite of bread.

Zhang Jue ate very little. After eating most of the bread and putting it down, he never picked it up again.He sat there for a while, then suddenly said to Chen Boqiao: "I'm looking for that friend, I don't know if you've heard of it. He also went to school in Luoshi, one grade higher than us."

"Really?" Chen Boqiao was a little interested, so he asked, "What's your name?"

"Harrison, Harrison? R? Owen," Zhang Jue looked at Chen Boqiao with expectation in his eyes.

As Chen Boqiao's thinking time increased, the anticipation in Zhang Jue's eyes gradually disappeared.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Jue said, "Don't think about it, you probably don't know him."

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue and said nothing.Zhang Jue and Chen Boqiao looked at each other for a few seconds, then looked away.Chen Boqiao asked Zhang Jue: "Is he from Thailand?"

"No," Zhang Jue shook his head, "He came here a few years ago and opened an adult show club and security company in Bangkok."

When Chen Boqiao heard about the adult show club, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows.Seeing Chen Boqiao's expression, Zhang Jue immediately explained to Harrison: "The one with a business license."

"Well," Chen Boqiao nodded with a smile, and asked, "Are we going to the security company or the club?"

"..." Zhang Jue said, "in the office above the club."

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue's somewhat embarrassed face, and couldn't help but want to know about Zhang Jue's relationship with the owner of the adult show club: "He is a grade higher than us, how did you know each other?"

Zhang Jue thought for a while before saying, "I don't remember clearly either."

"But Harrison was the same kind of guy as I was, in Rosh," he recalled.

Zhang Jue describes himself as: "The unpopular kind."

Zhang Jue's definition of himself seems negative on the surface, but Chen Boqiao knows that what Zhang Jue said is the truth.

All Rosh's students have good backgrounds, and most of them are ambitious, keen on socializing and various competitions. Zhang Jue's background is not bad, but in Rosh, it can only be said to be ordinary.He was introverted, and according to Pei Shu, he was withdrawn. Chen Boqiao had trained with him in the rowing team for several years, and he didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Jue.

"After we met, we sometimes ate together," Zhang Jue said again, "If we're not together, we're all alone."

Chen Boqiao was also very clear about the environment and atmosphere of the school at that time. It should not be that anyone deliberately ignored or isolated Zhang Jue, but that everyone was busy, busy with their own projects, and busy with enriching their resumes. Take time to pay attention to Zhang Jue who doesn't fit in, and care about why Zhang Jue is alone.

"After Harrison dropped out, no one was with me."

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue and continued talking indifferently, feeling strangely uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't refute Zhang Jue.

Because he had to recall things that happened a long time ago, Zhang Jue spoke intermittently. His tone was very flat, without any unhappiness. It was purely a narration: "Before Harrison came to the Independent Kingdom of Thailand, something happened, and I helped him. Later He came to Thailand, and I met him a few times. He is very reliable, and Zong La is also my link."

"However," Zhang Jue said again, "his club is very noisy, you definitely don't like it."

Chen Boqiao smiled: "Really."

"Well," Zhang Jue nodded and promised, "If you don't like it, we'll leave after we finish."

This morning, Zhang Jue changed Chen Boqiao's outfit again.The second time he did this, Zhang Jue moved a little faster. Chen Boqiao watched Zhang Jue when Zhang Jue was sticking the bionic skin on him, and saw Zhang Jue's ears flushed.

Even Zhang Jue's fingertips were soft, and his hands didn't have those calluses that Chen Boqiao had for holding guns all the time. As long as Chen Boqiao didn't speak to Zhang Jue, Zhang Jue's hands would be very stable.

But Chen Boqiao was bored sitting, so he couldn't help wanting to tease Zhang Jue.

After stumbling like this, Chen Boqiao regained his beard and high cheekbones.

Zhang Jue took Chen Boqiao out for a simple lunch, changed to a new car, passed through Bangkok's slums, dense houses and high-rise buildings, and stopped at a crowded club street.

Most of the store signs on the street are shining with colorful lights, and Omega dressed as a bunny girl is attracting customers at the door of each store.Zhang Jue parked his car by the side of the road, took Chen Boqiao inside familiarly, and stopped at the entrance of the biggest club on the whole street.

"Two gentlemen, the first show of our store in the afternoon has already started, and we are temporarily unable to enter the venue now," a bunny girl at the door gently winked at Zhang Jue, raised her hand to put on Zhang Jue's shoulder, and put her hand on Zhang Jue's shoulder with a kind of Chen Bo Qiao felt that the posture that should be corrected approached Zhang Jue, licked his lips, and said, "The next game is in two hours, you can register your contact information and go shopping around. I will notify you when the time is up." you."

Zhang Jue took out a business card unmoved after she finished speaking, and showed her a look: "I'm looking for him."

The bunny girl's complexion changed, and the hands on Zhang Jue's shoulders immediately retracted. She nodded slightly to Zhang Jue, opened the door with her buttocks, and said to Zhang Jue, "Sir, please follow me."

As soon as the door opened, the sound of psychedelic electronic music mixed with the sound of people cheering leaked out.

Chen Boqiao and Zhang Jue followed the bunny girl in, and happened to see four or five almost naked Omega jumping off the stage on the runway, twisting their waists, squeezing in and waving cash, and opening their palms to touch In Beta and Alpha of their flesh.

The bunny girl didn't take them upstairs right away. She walked aside, said a few words to a tall security chief, walked up to Zhang Jue, and said, "The boss seems to be in the background. I'll take you there."

Suddenly, the crowd all looked towards them.One of the Omegas jumped off the stage and pushed through the crowd.

The cloth pocket on the edge of Omega's thong was filled with cash, and when he saw Zhang Jue and Chen Boqiao, he swayed over.His eyes quickly sized up Chen Boqiao and Zhang Jue, and he chose Zhang Jue first, and danced close to Zhang Jue, propping his hips suggestively, the bells tied to his legs made a crisp sound, which is also the same in electronic music. Clear and audible.

Maybe smelling Zhang Jue's pheromone, Omega hooked Zhang Jue's neck obsessively, pulled Zhang Jue down, and moaned, brought his neck to Zhang Jue's mouth.

Zhang Jue was half a head taller than the dancing Omega, and the Omega struggled a bit. Zhang Jue stood for a few seconds, lowered his eyes expressionlessly, lowered his head, pressed the Omega's waist, and whispered something to the Omega, Chen Boqiao. I didn't hear clearly.

From Chen Boqiao's perspective, Zhang Jue's lips were almost touching the position of the Omega gland.And Zhang Jue's hands were very slender, with his thumbs pressing against the side of Omega's waist, as if he wanted to refuse.

Just when Chen Boqiao felt that Zhang Jue was surprisingly proficient in this set of movements, Zhang Jue took out his wallet more skillfully, pulled out a wad of cash, and stuffed it into the bag dangling against Omega's thigh.Zhang Jue's knuckles touched Omega's hip bones. The other party may have misunderstood Zhang Jue's meaning, tilted his head slightly, and put his face sideways towards him, as if he wanted to kiss Zhang Jue.

But this time, Zhang Jue quickly withdrew his hand, took a step back, and blocked it almost invisible.

Omega was stunned for a while, then showed a very sweet smile, and said to Zhang Jue: "Sir, you gave so much tips, the club can provide you with two extra services—"

"——Zhang Jue." Chen Boqiao interrupted the Omega by doing something he didn't usually do.

Zhang Jue raised his eyes, turned his gaze back to Chen Boqiao, and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong?"

Chen Boqiao looked straight at Zhang Jue, and asked politely and clearly, "Can we go now?"

"Yes," Zhang Jue glanced at the bunny girl and said, "Let's go."

The bunny girl nodded suddenly, and led them backstage.

Zhang Jue walked beside Chen Boqiao.On the way to the backstage, he looked at Chen Boqiao many times, and finally said hesitantly: "I didn't pay for the first time. Harrison said I broke his rules and wanted to drive me out."

Chen Boqiao said noncommittally: "Understood."
