Zhuang Li, who was nearly hit to death, did not feel shocked. Instead, his blood was boiling and he could not suppress his excitement. Although he was a scientist whose job was to invent and create, he actually preferred destruction and killing.
When he was seriously thinking about how to fight back Zhu Jianrui, a pair of big hands suddenly came out from behind, firmly grasped his shoulders, and pulled him back, away from the dangerous curb.
Immediately, he was forced into a broad and warm chest, and the tip of his straight nose was painfully hit by a layer of hard muscle.
He hissed softly, and just as he was about to raise his head to see who was imprisoning him, a big hand pressed the back of his head, pressed his face back to his broad chest, and rubbed his fluffy head full of soft curls, with an indescribable tenderness in his careful movements. Immediately afterwards, a very faint scent of sandalwood penetrated into his nostrils, like the water vapor hovering by the hot spring pool. A brief breath moistening the entire chest.
Then, a warm suit jacket enveloped Zhuang Li’s body, blocking out the cool night wind, the exhaust fumes from speeding cars, and even the shadows cast by neon lights.
The owner of the big hand hugged Zhuang Li tightly and gasped violently in his hoarse voice: “You were almost murdered just now!”
Zhuang Li looked up, then narrowed his eyes and smiled. He had already smelled the smell, so he didn’t struggle.
The nights in early summer were the most comfortable. The temperature was 25-66, neither hot nor cold, but the man’s head was covered with beads of sweat. Since it was difficult to turn around on the one-way street, his car was parked dozens of meters away.
Maybe he also witnessed the attempt to murder, so he rushed over in a hurry.
Zhuang Li’s body was wrapped in a familiar scent, and in his ears he could hear this man’s rapid heartbeat, so strong and powerful, bang, bang, bang, one after another… It was real and vivid. He hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to build a safe harbor and continue his unfinished protection.
For some reason, Zhuang Li’s nose suddenly felt sour, but he chuckled happily.
He stretched out his arms and hugged the man’s thin waist, put his ear against his broad chest, and listened to his heartbeat full of fascination.
The man’s already noisy heart suddenly lost its frequency when he got close to him, as if it would burst out of his chest in the next second.
He was nervous!
Zhuang Li raised the corners of his lips and smiled wickedly. He raised his head and glanced at the man, who was also looking down at him, his expression as calm and cold as before, as if it would not change even if the earth shook, but his heartbeat had already betrayed his chaotic mood.
Zhuang Li smiled even more viciously, his red lips curled up, but he didn’t say a word. Facing this person who was so familiar that he could not be more familiar, language communication was no longer a necessity. Because of him, everything in this world seemed to be beautiful.
Le Zhengming didn’t know what to say and felt very embarrassed. But what was even more embarrassing was that he was reluctant to push the person in his arms out. His hand was still pressing the back of his head, and his fingers seemed to have become self-aware, reluctantly stroking his soft and fluffy curls.
Silence spread between the two, but a sense of intimacy naturally arose between them.
When the two of them opened their mouths to say something at the same time, two bodyguards dragged a thin man over quickly and replied in a deep voice: “General, we’ve caught him.”
“Send him to the police station.” Le Zhengming had to let go of the soft body.
Zhuang Li gathered up the jacket that was draped around his shoulders and still had the warmth of the man, and asked, “Will you accompany me to record a confession?”
“Let’s go.” Le Zhengming stretched out his hand and put his arm around his thin shoulders. This action seemed to have been practiced many times, it was so natural and familiar.
….
The thin man insisted that he was the boss of a drug trafficking ring, and the motive for attempting to murder Zhuang Li was because he swallowed the boss’s goods. If this argument was combined with Zhu Jianrui’s fabricated evidence that Zhuang Li contacted the drug trafficking leader, it could be said that there was no flaw at all.
It’s a pity that when they arrested the drug trafficking leader, the police did not find any clues that Zhuang Li had any contact with him. Based on the principle of innocent until proven guilty, they had no choice but to let him go.
When they returned to the hotel, it was already dawn, and the mist pouring in from the top of the mountain tore a hole, letting out a few wisps of pale-yellow morning light. The light fell on Zhuang Li, bringing a slight warmth, but not as warm as his heart was at the moment.
Le Zhengming held an important position, but he sat with him in the police station all night. He was recording a confession in the interrogation room, and he was waiting outside. He also had someone buy him a big bag of late-night snacks, all of which were his favorite foods.
In a daze, Zhuang Li almost thought that he had returned to the previous world. He didn’t have to worry about anything, and he didn’t have to worry about every aspect of his life. As long as this person was still there, he would do his best to protect him from the wind and rain.
Zhuang Li looked up at the few rays of morning light, and there were some tears in his eyes. Don’t know why, he suddenly felt very happy.
“What’s wrong with you?” Le Zhengming asked in a deep voice, with an expression as if he was facing an enemy.
“It’s nothing, the sun is dazzling.” Zhuang Li wiped the red ends of his eyes with his fingertips and walked into the hotel first.
Along the way, he kept asking in his mind: “System, is he Xuan Ming?”
7480 said quickly in the negative: “Of course not. Master, you are also a scientist. You should know that although people in the parallel world look the same, their experiences, memories and thoughts are different. They cannot be the same person. Look at yourself, so smart and powerful. If you looked at Zhuang Li in this world, he is completely useless and has no intention of making progress, do you dare to say that you are the same person?”
This was true, but Zhuang Li just curled his lips and smiled and didn’t take it seriously.
