Desperate

"... Ms. Wen Qinglan dedicated her whole life to her family. She is an excellent mother, a pure wife, and an amazing woman. May there be no more pain and suffering after her death, and her lost soul can rest in peace." After the priest in black robe finished his eulogy, a handful of muddy loess was poured on Wen Qinglan's coffin, like an ugly scar on the smooth skin.

Cen Lu was holding an umbrella, and his slender fingers rested on the handle of the umbrella and squeezed it tightly. He was wearing a black suit with a navy blue tie tightly tied at the neckline, which made his pointed chin even paler.

His silver-gray eyes stared at the coffin containing his mother's body, and the carvings with entangled branches were covered with loess bit by bit until the smooth and shiny coffin boards merged with the surrounding soil.

"May the Lord bless her." The pastor said in a deep voice, and bowed first towards the coffin that was about to be buried in the ground, and everyone around him bowed in twos and threes.Cen Lu stood closest to the coffin, and bent over at the widest angle, but he never put down the umbrella above his head to protect him from the rain, nor did he show any sad expression.

"Boom--"

A thunderstorm came suddenly, everyone present was startled, and took a step back towards the outside of the tomb, but Cen Lu just raised his head as if he had never heard of it.The black hair on his forehead was wet from the rain, his expression was cold, and his face was pale by the lightning flashing across the sky.

The pastor glanced at this delicate-looking man. His hair had been carefully groomed, his face was clean and well-dressed, but he acted extremely cold-blooded, as if his mother's departure meant nothing to him.

It's just the death of an irrelevant person.

After the ceremony, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and most of them gathered around Cen Road.Wen Qinglan had very few acquaintances during her lifetime, and most of the people who came here were people who wanted to get close to Cen Lu.

After the trip to "Hemera", Cen Lu made a first-class contribution as a nobleman, and the queen personally ribboned the award.In addition, "Detecting Blood Silver Energy", which shocked the entire scientific community, has already been drafted, and the entire high-level empire is eagerly waiting for its publication.

Once the theory is established, the empire can find more blood silver ore at a speed of ten times or twenty times, and become the world's hegemon, it is just around the corner.

Xie Xingchui came up first, and patted Cen Lu on the shoulder as an elder: "Xiao Cen, I'm sorry."

"Fortunately, I'm fine." Cen Lu smiled decently at him, avoiding the other's hand without leaving a trace.

Xie Xingchui sensed the other party's resistance, and didn't point it out. He just took his hand away kindly, with an expression of unbearable expression: "Xiao Cen, although your father... we all admire your mother, who is still in such a difficult situation. develop you."

"Yeah," Cen Lu smiled sarcastically. Ever since he could remember, his mother had never cared about him. She was like the delicate and fragile doll in a little girl's dollhouse, who needed love and affection.

He lowered his eyes slightly and touched his chin: "My mother is not easy."

"Did your mother leave any words for you?" Xie Xingchui looked straight into Cen Lu's eyes, like a searchlight that could penetrate people's hearts.

"...she's not sober." Cen Lu raised the black umbrella over his shoulders as the pattering rain hit the umbrella, with a careless look.

Xie Xingchui was not satisfied with this answer, a sharp light flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.He took a step forward, about to touch Cen Lu's shoulder——

"Professor Xie, please excuse me, can I borrow Professor Cen's help?" A strong hand climbed onto Xie Xingchui's shoulder, and Liang Qian's peach-blossom face poked out from behind Xie Xingchui, with a lazy smile on his face. smile.

Xie Xingchui slapped off the malicious hand with a sullen face. He knew this cunning in the technical department, and he had always regretted introducing Cen Lu to him as a contact person: "Major Liang, I am an elder I would like to advise you from my identity, don’t be so hippie smiling at other people’s mother’s funeral!”

"Okay, okay—I accept criticism with an open mind." Liang Qian's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his white-gloved right hand in front of his chest and gave a funny military salute to Xie Xinghui, "Can I take Professor Cen away? "

Xie Xingchui was about to explode, and Dou Huaiye, who was blocked by Liang Qian, hurriedly walked between the two of them in three steps at a time, raised his hand and made a standard salute: "Professor Xie, I'm sorry, Liang Qian is too Out of tune! But we do have an important matter to discuss with Professor Cen."

Liang Qian stared at her reproachfully, Cen Lu could see goosebumps all over his body, and changed his position uncomfortably.

Xie Xingchui's face softened a bit, but he just nodded slightly to Dou Huaiye, and left without a good look to Liang Qian.

Dou Huaiye and the others walked away like a crazy little leopard. The almond eyes that originally occupied half of her face were widened by her, burning with raging anger: "Are you sick? Xie Xingchui is our partner with the emperor. An important bridge to communicate with Gongda! What good does it do to offend him?!"

"Hey, hey," Liang Qian didn't meet her boss's sharpness head-on, but deftly slipped through the gap between Dou Huaiye and Cen Lu, and stood on the other side of Cen Lu, hiding in Cen Lu with a pitiful expression. Behind the sleeves of his suit: "The little beauty is a real murderer, everyone is scared."

Cen Lu retracted his sleeves calmly, and dusted it in disgust.

Dou Huaiye was furious: "I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

"Listen, listen," Liang Qian replied perfunctorily, and then pointed to the ground as if he had discovered a new world: "Look, Lieutenant Colonel, your heel is stuck in the mud!"

"you……"

Taking advantage of the time when Dou Huaiye was pulling out his heels, Liang Qian quickly pulled Cen Lu aside, and solemnly asked him for credit: "Brother Lu, you have been busy these past two days, fortunately, our technical department invited you to dinner ! Do you think I am very considerate?"

The light rain did not know when it stopped, Cen Lu calmly put away the umbrella in his hand, and quite coldly knocked off the wolf claws hanging on his body with the handle of the umbrella

"Professor Cen, we really want to thank you. Thanks to you, 'Hemera' was able to return almost intact." Dou Huaiye finally pulled out the stiletto heels, and with some sewage on her hands, she stared fiercely. Glancing at Liang Qian: "It has nothing to do with the technical department, Liang Qian and I will treat you to dinner privately."

It took a lot of effort for Cen Lu not to ask about another second lieutenant who had a close relationship with the technical department.

Be reserved, be reserved, he told himself repeatedly.If you want to win a man's heart, you must first learn to play hard to get.

Wait until the three of them arrived at the scheduled hot pot at the bar.Only then did Professor Cen realize that he had been deceived by a gay magazine he had secretly bought.

Playing hard to get is an excuse not to dare!

Zhou Pushen just sat there, not wearing a uniform today which is rare.A water-blue shirt with short sleeves made him look refined, but the chest muscles exposed under the thin material were very strong, revealing a bit of innocent sexiness.The man has picturesque features, and his hair has grown a bit longer, sticking softly to his forehead.Zhou Pushen didn't know that the person who was thinking about him day and night was looking at him. The first time he saw Cen Lu, he stood up in a panic, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

He found that Cen Lu had lost weight again, his originally thin shoulders were now almost fragile, and he could almost hold that thin waist with two hands.The man's morbid paleness made his lips more rosy, and the clean gold-rimmed glasses gave him a bit of abstinence.

Zhou Pu was very distressed, and when he felt distressed, he forgot that the two were still arguing. He opened the stool gentlemanly to Cen Lu: "Brother, sit down."

Cen Lu took a look and found that Zhou Pu was pulling the stool from his own side. He immediately felt very relieved and sat down with a complexion.In fact, he couldn't help but want to find Zhou Pushen for a long time, but the damn magazine said that if the other party cared about you, he would naturally come to you, so Cen Lu held his breath and waited for a month.

It was not easy to meet today, Zhou Pushen treated him as before, and Cen Lu felt very relieved.

Throw that magazine into the trash can when you get back, Cen Lu thought resentfully.

Zhou Pushen pretended to be flipping through the menu, but he was actually watching Cen Lu's expression carefully from the corner of his eye. He knew that today was the day when Cen Lu's mother was buried, and he should have attended the funeral.But before the two had such a big disagreement, Cen Lu never came to see him when he was recuperating.Zhou Pu was deeply afraid that if he appeared rashly, he would be annoying.

It's okay, okay, now it seems that Cen Lu has no intention of continuing the cold war.

Zhou Pu dared to speak: "The funeral...is it alright?"

Cen Lu knew what he wanted to ask, but for a while he didn't want to talk about it. He paused slightly while flipping through the menu, and he replied half-jokingly: "Is there anything good? My mother has been on one foot for a long time. The person who stepped into the coffin, maybe I was born cold-blooded, but I don’t really feel much.”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the table became a little awkward.

Liang Qian hurriedly smoothed things over: "Oh, it's so hard to come out to get together. Why are you people so disappointing!" He waved the menu in his hand at the two people opposite him: "Come and see what we want to eat!"

"Mushroom soup." Cen Lu threw the menu back to him, and Liang Qian pouted dissatisfiedly: "Old man."

"I want spicy butter, add more pepper." Dou Huaiye ruthlessly slapped the menu on Liang Qian's body, "Go ahead and order."

"Hey, Lieutenant Zhou hasn't ordered yet, why are you in a hurry." Liang Qian rolled his eyes at the two of them, "Shen Shen, what do you want to eat?"

Cen Lu frowned delicately: "Don't call him that in the future." There was a hint of jealousy in his heart, "It's so close."

Liang Qian was very hurt, and asked Zhou Pushen aggrievedly: "Shen Shen, don't we know each other well?"

Zhou Pushen ignored him at all, and quickly smiled flatteringly at Cen Lu: "Of course I don't know the major well." He turned his head to Liang Qian fiercely: "I told you, don't call me that! Come on!" Spicy."

Liang Qian covered her heart, while Dou Huaiye had already calmly ate fried soybeans.

Cen Lu dragged back Zhou Pushen's menu, erased the mark on the spicy pot, turned around and put a beautiful tick on the mushroom soup: "Don't eat spicy food, it's not good for men."

Seeing Cen Lu's meaningful gaze, Zhou Pu suddenly felt that Cen Lu seemed to be teasing him.Zhou Pu was terrified by this thought, and quickly took a sip of ice water to suppress his shock.

He blushed, feeling that he was really dirty, and he could think of so many things in just a word from Cen Lu.And...and even if he eats spicy...actually...it doesn't matter.Anyway, Cen Lu never eats spicy food.

After Cen Lu said this, he really couldn't hold it any longer. He buried his head and blushed and ate soybeans fiercely. The mouth is open.

Zhou Pushen...don't think he's a pervert...

Liang Qian looked at the two people who were flirting, and got goosebumps all over his body. He yelled and interrupted all the charming associations between the two of them: "It's alright, alright! I'm here to discuss business with you today!"
