Certificate of conformity (chapter 3)
The Qihang software company where Chen Heng works, is a small company with only thirty employees. The company is small in scale, with a good welfare program and high degree of freedom for workers. When Chen Heng arrived at the company, it was already a quarter past eight o’clock, fifteen minutes after normal working hours. Considering the company’s people friendly administration, he will only need to work a quarter of an hour more.
Open the computer, log in to the company’s service interface, open the mailbox as usual, and then jump to the company boss’ latest notice. The owner of this software company is named Sun Quan. He is famous for being a henpecked husband. The boss’ wife has a strong desire for control. The company only accepts male applicants; even the one at the front desk is male. Sun Quan does not usually show up at the company, notifications about meetings are communicated through the computer.
The notice generally says that the boss has to go out with his wife for a month, and the boss’ xue di will be temporarily responsible for the company’s affairs.
Chen Heng is not interested in this kind of news. He clicked the mouse to close the mailbox, and then started the day’s work.
His colleague, Liu Hao, moved his swivel chair over and patted him on the shoulder. “Have you read the boss’ notice? I heard that his junior is a very extraordinary character. He graduated from a top school in M Country, and is now working in M Country’s financial industry. He even has his own financial firm.” At the end, my colleague came up with a sentence, “But does someone from finance know anything about computer software?”
Chen Heng just smiled, “Some people are very capable, nevertheless we had better just live our days properly.”
“Yes.” Liu Hao nodded his agreement, immediately turned around and asked: “Right, are you free after work? I want to introduce my xue mei to you.”
Liu Hao has no other hobbies; he only likes to act as a go-between for other people.
Chen Heng smiled, “No, my brother is at home, I have to go back and cook for him.” He is now playing the role of an infatuated person with single-mindedness.
“He’s not your real younger brother. Why are you so good to him?” Liu Hao sighed.
“Hehe, I’m just used to it.” Chen Heng replied good-naturedly.
Liu Hao was about to say something else when they heard footsteps in the doorway. Chen Heng followed the sound and saw a tall, lanky figure coming in surrounded by a crowd of people.
The figure was too eye-catching, and the managers around him all became his foil, they were eclipsed under the dazzling light emanated by the youth.
“Hey, hey, hey, big guys, stop whatever you’re doing.” The marketing manager claps his hands and waits until everyone’s eyes are on him. He turned to the youth at his side with a flattering look on his face. “This is the new general manager.” During the time when the boss is not here, he will be temporarily in charge.”
The surroundings were very quiet, and everyone’s eyes fell on the young man.
I saw a man wearing a black suit, about 190cm tall, making him stand out, not to mention he has an exquisite, three-dimensional face.
He is very white, the kind of whiteness that Western people have. At the same time, he is very slender. Because of this thinness, his face is sharp and distinct, which makes his fine facial features more prominent.
A cold and noble beauty.
Like a piece of art, people can’t help but want to collect it.
The thin lips of the young people are bent, his cold temperament vanishes instantly. The smile is slight and the voice is extravagant and rough. “Hello everyone, I am Qi Wei, please advise me.”
The voice had not yet faded when the marketing manager took the lead in applauding, and the applause slowly heated up.
Odor? (TN: Pronounced as Qìwèi as opposed to his name Qí Wéi)
Chen Heng’s lowered his eyes and quietly frowned. What a strange name.
Without waiting for him to smooth the folds between his eyebrows, he suddenly felt a sharp glare directed toward him, and when he looked over, the inexplicable feeling had disappeared.
Chen Heng does not think that it was an illusion.
And, out of instinct, he felt danger.
How interesting.
Chen Heng hooked his lips and smiled.
……
Because he was late this morning, Chen Heng needed to work late for a quarter of an hour. When everyone got off work, he was left in the software department alone.
He works very efficiently, and he was able to compress the workload of the day to just three hours. At this time, his work had already been done, and he leaned back against his chair and rest his eyes for a moment.
In the quiet room, only the sound of the computer humming is heard.
In such a silent moment, “ka cha”, the subtle sound could not escape Chen Heng’s ears; he opened his eyes vigilantly, and turned a sharp, penetrating look towards the door. Under the bright light, he saw a letter lying beneath the door.
Another letter?
Chen Heng paused, got up and walked to the door, bent down and picked it up.
There is still no signature on the envelope.
He opened the door and looked out, the corridor was empty, there was no figure in sight. Chen Heng looked up at the clock on the wall, and the minute hand pointed to 3.
Time is up.
He turned off the computer, carried his briefcase, then turned off the light, locked the door and left the company. The last bus to his home area had already driven away three minutes ago. Chen Heng walked to the side of the road and slowly waited for a taxi. The geographical location of the company is relatively secluded and it is not easy to get a taxi.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, a car finally came and stopped in front of Chen Heng. The window slowly pulled down showing an ordinary face: “Sir, do you want to take a taxi?” Taxis rarely go through this area so illegal taxis often pass by. Chen Heng looked at the empty road. After giving it a thought, he asked about the fare, after confirming that it is within an acceptable range, he opened the door and sat inside.
He never liked to sit in the passenger seat, because the front passenger seat is often the most dangerous position. After sitting in, he found that there was a person already sitting in the backseat.
Chen Heng subconsciously looked at the person beside him. The man’s bangs were long and covered half his face. From his point of view, he could only see his pale skin and the pointed chin.
The black car driver coughed twice and said to Chen Heng: “You don’t mind if I bring one more person, do you?”
Chen Heng smiled and understood: “Don’t mind.” This situation is very common in illegal taxis.
The car set off smoothly, Chen Heng turned his eyes to the window, the sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding scenery was covered with a layer of fog. The young man next to him seemed to be nervous. He moved his body slightly, his mouth opened and closed, and it took him a lot of courage to open his mouth: “How come you got off work so late today?”
Chen Heng, turned to look at him, warmly inquiring: “Do we know each other?” Listening to the other party’s tone, he seems to be familiar with him.
The man smiled shyly and his voice was awkward. “You forgot. We used to sit in the bus. We’ve talked before.”
Chen Heng frowned and thought about it. It seems that he did have a little impression of him. The mouth can’t help but quirk a little smile. “What a coincidence.”
The young man also laughed. “Yes, what a coincidence.”
“I was late for work this morning, so I got off work a little late.” Chen Heng answered his previous question and then asked: “Why didn’t you catch the bus?”
“I got an additional half-hour shift today.”
“Then we really are brought together by fate.”
The two people have nothing more to say, Chen Heng turned his gaze out of the window, watching the gradually retreating tree shadows and the sunset that is about to disappear into the sky, he seems to never want to stop looking at the scenery outside.
Chen Heng’s mouth curved, thinking that this kind of meaningless thing was not as bad as he had imagined.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of his neighborhood.
Chen Heng paid the fare, opened the door and got off, then his eyes fell on the young man sitting in the back seat. He bowed slightly, “Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” The youth smiled faintly, with his bangs covering half his face.
……
Back to the apartment, I was about to open the door, when it opened from the inside, Song Wenze directly rushed up to give him a warm hug, “Brother, you are back.”
Chen Heng was unprepared and he almost fell, holding the door frame for support to stabilize the figure in his arms.
The corner of the mouth habitually revealed a gentle smile. When he saw Ou Yichen behind Song Wenze, he also greeted. “Yichen, you are here.”
Ou Yichen: “hmm”, and turned to the side to let Chen Heng come in.
The air was filled with the scent of spicy hot pot.
Chen Heng’s gaze swept the room. Sure enough, on the dining table was a simmering pot, with washed vegetables and meat on the side.
“Today, we are eating hotpot, ah.” His smiling expression was warm.
Song Wenze proudly said: “The hot pot base is something I personally went to the supermarket to get.”
On the side, Ou Yichen added: “These vegetables are washed together with Wenze, and these were selected by me.”
Are they on good terms again?
This time the speed was really fast, Chen Heng thought in his heart, he has not had time to take action.
The mouth was warm and gentle: “I am hungry, let’s get started.”
“En. Brother, you are late today, you are starving me.” Song Wenze acted like a spoiled child, while pushing Chen Heng’s shoulders forward.
“You, if you are hungry, you should have eaten first.”
The young man stuck out his tongue. “I wanted to wait for my brother to come back so we can eat together.” The hands kept moving, and the vegetables and meat were poured into the pot.
Chen Heng smiled helplessly, towards Ou Yichen: “Have you reconciled? I told you you’re inseparable.”
“Who said it.” Song Wenze’s used his chopsticks to put the some beef in Chen Heng’s bowl, and interjected: “I did not agree to reconcile with Ou Yichen, he is just my ex-boyfriend.”
“Really?” Chen Heng turned his head and looked at Ou Yichen intently.
His eyelashes are quite long, and lightly curled, and his eyes are soft and flawless.
In the face of the man who hides his pain and insists on pretending that he does not mind, Ou Yichen just sighed in his heart and said: “It’s true. I came here wanting to eat rice. I didn’t think he was here.”
This explanation is full of loopholes.
Not to mention that today is Monday, Chen Heng has to go to work, not to mention, Ou Yichen bought all the hot pot materials. Obviously, he has been here for a while. As the best friend of the original host, wouldn’t he know when he got off work?
Chen Heng did not say that he knew he was lying, and he sighed. “You are already adults. If there is any misunderstanding, explain it to each other clearly. Don’t be like children who are quick to mention breaking up.”
Ou Yichen did not speak, and Song Wenze bulge his cheeks and glared at Ou Yichen, he said to Chen Heng: “I am serious this time. I will rely on my brother. I will marry my brother in the future.”
“You.” Chen Heng laughed, shook his head and placed some beef in the bowl of the youth. “This topic aside. Are you not hungry? Eat hot pot.”
Song Wenze just smiled and ate the meat that Chen Heng gave him.
During the rest of the meal, Ou Yichen has been somewhat silent.
Although he was greatly embarrassed, he did not know Su Yi’s feelings towards him. He just saw the man’s forbearing eyes. He didn’t know what happened and felt distressed. But he has become accustomed to Su Yi’s fondness for him; he does not want to puncture this layer of window paper between them, selfishly enjoying the other party’s efforts, with friendship as an excuse.
Chen Heng noticed Ou Yichen’silence, and put some meat in his bowl. “Why are you unhappy? Is it because of Ā Ze?”
“No.” Ou Yichen shook his head.
Song Wenze glanced at him and said to Chen Heng: “Brother, don’t care about him, I want to eat beef.”
“Oh.” Chen Heng took back his sight and was busy giving Song Wenze beef. The movement of his hands have not stopped.
When I sent Ou Yichen off and Song Wenze went back to his room, Chen Heng packed up the mess on the table then stopped to rest for a while.
He was a little hungry.
Because he was busying with the two ancestors, he was only able to eat two or three mouthfuls of hot pot. Of course, there were so many peppers in the hot pot, which was too irritating to the stomach and could not be eaten.
The original Su Yi had a stomach ailment, he got it sometime after his parents died. Su Yi often when hungry to save money. At that time, he was only twelve years old. He had to grow up and use his small shoulders to support Song Wenze every day.
From the age of twelve to eighteen, he relied on his parents’ compensation money and the money he had made from doing odd jobs, so he and Song Wenze could go to school. Later, Song Wenze followed Ou Yichen, and Ou Yichen paid Song Wenze’s tuition. The burden on the original host was lessened.
As for his stomach cancer, his stomach ailment wasn’t the only cause. The most important thing is that the original host does not know how to feel bad about himself and will not take care of himself.
He lived frugally to save money, and wanted to give Song Wenze some decent dowry. After all, Ou Yichen comes from a high-ranking family. SuYi did not want Song Wenze to be looked down upon by Ou Yichen’s family. The original host once said that being able to see the two people he loves most live happily together is the greatest thing in his life.
You say how can there be such a stupid person in the world?
No one is good to him, why not be good to himself. Why bother to use his own life for these two people?
Chen Heng has always felt that feelings are troublesome things. The tragic ending of the original host has strengthened his belief in celibacy. After staying there for a while, he walked into the kitchen with his slender legs, and skillfully boiled a bowl of hot noodles to sooth his stomach.
After a simple shower, Chen Heng returned to his room, opened his briefcase and took the anonymous letter out.
Inside was a comic of sorts.
The artist of the comics should be a trained professional, the pictures are vivid. Chen Heng flipped through the comic page by page, if he is not mistaken, this comic is about him. The master who painted these cartoons apparently observed even the smallest details and even portrayed some of his casual little movements: drinking water, contemplating, working, riding the bus, etc., a comic filled with pictures that present his daily life.
If you were a normal person, you may think that these cartoons are very cute, but Chen Heng does not think so. He does not like to be monitored by anyone at any time. Not to mention–
Chen Heng slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at the increasingly unsightly picture on the booklet. On the comic book, the cartoon character that was based on him was under the body of a person with a vague face, and the posture is erotic.
Turning to the last page, a piece of paper fell out: Did you like the gift I sent you?
The words were cut out and then pasted to form the sentence in the note.
Pu zi. (sound of a laugh escaping through clenched teeth)
Chen Heng turned on the lighter and burned the whole comic. The fire shone his eyes.
Oh, there was actually someone who s obsessed with him in this way?
First, the anonymous package, now an anonymous comic, since the other party has the guts to provoke him again and again, then of course he has to accept this challenge.
The author has something to say:
Small Theater:
As the flower on a high cliff of X organization, no one dares to confess to Chen Heng.
Once, a new younger brother who had no eyes, and Chen Heng, had stepped out of the sterile laboratory together. Chen Heng’s face was covered by a facemask, looking like an ordinary scientist.
“Hey, have you heard of Chen Heng?”
“…”
“It is said that he is a perverted person.”
Pervert? Oh, this noun is fresh.
“A person who is feared by all, and called a pervert in private, he must be terrifying, right?”
“…”
“Don’t you want to know what Chen Heng looks like?” The voice of the younger brother asked.
Chen Heng ignored him and took off his lab coat, cap and mask.
The person beside him sucked in a gasp of cold air and murmured: “You look really… you look good.”
Chen Heng’s face was expressionless. After he has finished wiping his body, he left a faint sentence: “You have already seen it.”
“Eh?”

~
When Chen Heng woke up, he found
himself lying on the bed, and his clothes have changed into comfortable cotton
pajamas.
He lifted his quilt and sat up,
and the tingling sensation in his head made him subconsciously tighten his
eyebrows.
While he stretched his arms and
rubbed his aching temples, he carefully thought about what happened last night.
The company dinner, drinking, the phone call— that’s right, there was also
that kiss.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng
couldn’t help but touch his lips.
He was actually kissed by someone.
First, an anonymous letter, then the
lascivious erotic comics, and now that strong kiss; this person hiding in the
dark is really obsessed with him ah. I
really look forward to what kind of things the other party has in store; I hope
he wouldn’t let me down.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng’s
eyes became dark like ink as he restrained the vicious smile on his face.
After getting up, Chen Heng made
a hearty breakfast and knocked on Song Wenze’s door.
There was no movement behind the
door for a long time, Chen Heng had to say: “Ā Ze, breakfast is ready;
open the door.”
“Oh, wait a minute, I will
come right away.”
There was something a little
different about Song Wenze’s voice.
After waiting for almost three
minutes, the youth finally dragged his slippers and opened the door. He only
wore a loose nightgown. It seemed to have been put on in a rush. The nightgown
was not fastened, and the neckline was wide open, revealing his clavicle and a
delicate right shoulder.
Chen Heng paused for a moment
then brought the breakfast in. At the corner of his eyes, he noticed the
youth’s red, abnormal skin color. Then his line of sight fell onto the messy
bed and the several tissue papers rolled up on the ground.
There was a strange smell in the
air.
Seemingly noticing his line of
sight, Song Wenze’s fair face blushed with shame. “*Cough, cough*, That… I
haven’t vented for quite a while, so I used my hand……” He didn’t proceed
with his explanation, and just looked at Chen Heng with a glance that said: We’re both men, so you should already know.
Chen Heng certainly knows what the
other party is referring to and he has no opinion on it whatsoever.
Glancing at the young man’s
shoulder that was exposed to the air, he used his fingertips to hook the
nightgown back in place.
As the cool fingertips touched
Song Wenze’s skin, his face showed a slight flush, he slightly turned away and
fixed his clothes. Chen Heng calmly retracted his hand and stood silently.
The atmosphere was somewhat
awkward.
Song Wenze quickly turned his
attention to the steaming breakfast. “Wa, it’s my favorite congee with
pork and century eggs. Brother, you are so good to me.”
Chen Heng smiled faintly and
warned him: “Drink slowly; it’s hot, so be careful.”
In his heart, Chen Heng mockingly
thought that he will take back every good thing that he gave and have Song
Wenze pay with his life.
Remembering his purpose for
coming here, Chen Heng asked: “Was it you who sent me back last
night?”
“Yeah.” Song Wenze
nodded.
“Did you see any strange
people after you arrived?”
“No.” Song Wenze lifted
his face from the bowl and glanced at him inexplicably. “After you called
me last night, I arrived in ten minutes. You fell asleep while leaning on the
door of the men’s toilet and made me jump in fright.” The young man turned
serious and earnestly said: “You’re not allowed to drink alcohol in the
future; you know you can’t handle it.”
“En, I know.” Chen Heng
unhurriedly replied.
Before he left, he thought of
something and turned to Song Wenze: “Last night, you helped me change into
my pajamas, thank you.”
*Cough, cough, cough* Hearing
this, Song Wenze suddenly choked on his congee and couldn’t stop coughing.
Chen Heng patted his back with
concern. “Don’t drink too fast.”
Song Wenze vaguely groaned, and
when his coughing stopped, he lowered his head and urged: “You should
quickly go to work. You’re going to be late.”
“Okay,” Chen Heng thought
for a moment and asked: “Oh, that’s right, do you have money on hand? If not,
I can give you some.”
“No need.” Song Wenze
pushed Chen Heng out of the room. “You nag and nag like an old maid every
day.”
“I am your brother, I would
care about you no matter what ah.”
Chen Heng smiled and shook his
head, and then turned around to go to work.
He wasn’t aware that behind him,
Song Wenze was watching him with an unspeakable and complicated look in his
eyes, and his line of sight did not move away for a long time.
***
At lunch time, colleague Liu Hao
has been continuously teasing him about getting drunk. “Su Yi, I say, no
wonder I haven’t seen you go drinking before. It turns out that your tolerance
for alcohol was this bad. You may not know, but when your cousin helped you
leave last night, Manager Zhao’s complexion was very ugly.”
Chen Heng whispered back:
“The manager has the right to be unhappy. Last night was supposed to be a
welcoming party for Qi Zǒng. Me leaving in advance must have ruined everyone’s
excitement.”
“That was nothing; it’s just
that the manager lacks magnanimity. Maybe he was even looking for you on
purpose.”
“Should he not?” Chen Heng
frowned.
“I don’t
know.”
Indeed, just as Liu Hao said,
Chen Heng was called to the office by the manager in the afternoon.
“Manager, you were looking
for me.”
The manager took a look at him
while slowly drinking coffee. “Were you not aware that when you left early
last night, you made me lose face? We were originally going to sing at a KTV
afterwards, but after you left, Qi Zǒng also did not stay long.”
“I’m sorry.” Chen Heng
apologized.
“What use is it to apologize to
me?” he let out a snort. “Go, go and apologize to Qi Zǒng, or I will deduct
your year-end bonus.”
“Yes, manager.”
Chen Heng responded with a good
temperament and turned to go in the direction of the general manager’s office.
*Knock, knock, knock*
“Please, come in.” Qi
Wei’s unique husky voice came through the door.
Chen Heng pushed the door and
walked in. “General Manager, hello.”
The young man sitting in the
office chair was wearing a snow white shirt with the collar open and the top
three buttons unfastened, he gave off a languid and indolent air. Seeing
Chen Heng, he adjusted his posture slightly and put his hands on the desk.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s like this; I came here
to apologize to Qi Zǒng. I got drunk and had to leave early last night. I am
truly very sorry for the inconvenience.”
Qi Wei listened, and raised an
eyebrow. Suddenly, he asked something completely unrelated: “Who made you
apologize?”
Chen Heng stared blankly before
he immediately followed the good as
naturally as water runs downhill: “Nobody. I, myself, felt that it was
necessary to apologize to you.”
Of course, he knows the rules of
the workplace. One can’t just say bad things about one’s boss.
But, this man with a strange name
is quite smart. He unexpectedly managed to guess right away that someone told
him to come and apologize.
“I see.” Softly tapping his fingers on the desk,
something dark flashed in Qi Wei’s eyes. “In the future, for such a
trivial matter, you don’t need to come over to apologize.”
“Yes, Qi Zǒng.” Chen Heng
bowed. “If it’s alright, I will be going out first.”
“Wait.”
A distinctly cold and careless
voice rang from behind him. Chen Heng halted in his step, and then he heard the
other person say: “Help me pour a cup of coffee.”
Chen Heng closed his eyes,
“Okay.”
When Chen Heng bent over to pick
up the cup on the desk, a soft white hand extended, and it just happened to
rest on the back of his hand. Chen Heng’s hand trembled, but he listened as Qi
Wei unhurriedly said: “Forget it. I’d better do it myself.” After he
finished speaking, Qi Wei took the cup from Chen Heng’s hand.
Chen Heng didn’t think much of
it. He left the office and returned to his job.
Because the company received a
large order, all employees were temporarily notified to work
overtime. Chen Heng could only call Song Wenze first, so that his brother
would not wait for him to go back to cook. Song Wenze was obviously unhappy,
and his voice sounded pitiful. Chen Heng had no choice but to carefully comfort
him through the phone.
When he got off the phone, a deep
voice abruptly said: “Girlfriend?”
Chen Heng looked up, just in time
to see Qi Wei whose face was half hidden in the shadows, “Qi Zǒng.”
When Qi Wei walked out, the light
and shadow dissipated, and his gorgeous and perfect face was revealed clearly in
Chen Heng’s eyes.
“Don’t treat me like an
outsider. In the future, it’s fine to just call me Qi Wei.” The young man
smiled. “Who were you talking to just now ah, your voice was really
gentle.”
“Oh, it was younger
brother.”
“Was he
the one who came to pick you up last night?”
“En.“
Looking at Qi Wei’s smiling expression;
Chen Heng felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out what, and
he didn’t know what to say next.
So, in the end, he opened his
mouth to say: “Then, I will be going.”
“Okay.” Qi Wei nodded
with a smile on his face, watching Chen Heng leave his sight.
The lights of the corridor shined
down, reflecting the unclear and enigmatic look on his face.
***
When he came out of the company,
it was already 8 o’clock in the evening.
After Chen Heng bid farewell to
his colleagues, he waited by the road to take a taxi. The location of
Qihang Software Company is somewhat remote, and it was definitely not a good
place to wait for a taxi. Chen Heng has already spent more than ten minutes of
being blown by the cold wind but there still wasn’t a car in sight.
Just then, a black Bentley slowly
came to a stop beside him.
“Su Yi?”
Chen Heng looked up and saw the
face of Qi Wei that appeared from the window in the back seat. “Are you
going home? I’ll give you a lift.”
Chen Heng opened his mouth to
speak, when his phone suddenly rang. He smiled awkwardly and answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Su Yi, are you still at the
company? I’m feeling awful right now. Can you accompany me to the bar?”
“En, I just got off
work.”
“Wait out front, I will be
there soon.” Ou Yichen hanged up the phone after he finished talking.
Chen Heng put away his phone then
he faced Qi Wei who was still waiting for his answer, and said: “Thank you
for your kindness, Qi Zǒng, but my friend is coming over to pick me up.”
“Oh, so it’s like that
ah.” Under the dim light of night, Qi Wei’s expression was hard to
decipher and he was silent for a few seconds. Then he suddenly spoke: “You
forgot what I told you?”
Chen Heng paused to think, then
he whispered: “Qi Wei.”
The young man hooked his lips and
smiled with satisfaction. “Su Yi, see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Watching the black Bentley blend
into the incoming traffic, the strange doubts in Chen Heng’s mind are getting
deeper and deeper. He has only interacted with Qi Wei a handful of times in
total, yet the other party seems to be a bit too enthusiastic about him.
Could it be that he is the one
who has continuously watched him behind his back?
Thinking of this possibility,
Chen Heng’s expression grew cold and a storm was brewing in his eyes.
It seems that in addition to Song
Wenze, he still has to kill one more person.
***
The author has something to say:
Chen Heng looked at the newcomer
in front of him and raised an eyebrow. “I heard that you are a talented
person who has been specially recruited from other fields?”
“You could say that.”
“What is your name?”
“Qi
Wei.”
Odor? (TN: Pronounced as Qìwèi as opposed to his name Qí Wéi) What a
strange name.
This young man called ‘odor’had a
clear and bright expression on his face, “Chen Heng, I have been looking
forward to meeting you for a long time.”
“You are not afraid of
me?”
“No, I like you.”
Chen Heng sneered and looked at
the malnourished youngster in front of him. On his face was his usual ice-cold
and arrogant expression. “Do not rush to say that you like me, you do not
have the qualifications.”
“Then, how could I be
considered as qualified?”
Chen Heng turned around and carelessly said: “Defeat me, whether it’s in the professional field or in terms of physical fitness.”

Ten minutes later, Ou Yichen walked out with
a towel wrapped around his waist.
Surrounded by the mist from his bath, his
handsome face was covered with a faint layer of red, transparent drops of water
slid down his bare chest until they disappeared beneath the white towel,
creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

The next day, after Chen Heng got up, he knocked on the door of Ou Yichen’s
room.
The door was quickly opened, and Ou Yichen appeared, having already worn his
clothes from yesterday. The look on his face was somewhat apprehensive and he
called out, “Su Yi.”
Chen Heng resumed his gentle expression from before, “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Anxiously glancing at the man, Ou Yichen breathed a sigh of
relief as he followed behind Chen Heng. His previous self confident image was
recovered as he walked freely and at ease.
After completing the check-out procedures, Ou Yichen proposed to send him back,
but Chen Heng firmly refused. “No need, I still have matters to attend to.”
“Su Yi, are you still minding about what happened last night?” Because
of this matter, Ou Yichen wasn’t able to sleep for the whole night; his face
was haggard, and his chin was covered with stubbles.
Chen Heng slowly shook his head. “I really have things to do today.”
He paused; then playing down the truth, he said: “I have already forgotten
about what happened last night.”
While he was saying this, he flagged down a taxi. Chen Heng opened the door and
turned his head towards Ou Yichen, gently saying. “Go back and have a good
night’s sleep. There are dark circles under your eyes.”
Ou Yichen subconsciously stroked his eyelids, and when he raised his eyes, Chen
Heng had already gotten into the taxi and left.
His shoulders immediately came down in defeat and he stood in a daze.
He didn’t know why he acted like he was possessed last night. He actually
lusted after his own good brother.
Maybe, it was because he drank too much…
On the other side, after Chen Heng got into the taxi, he directly had the
driver take him to the second-hand car trading center nearby.
Fifteen minutes later, the car arrived at his destination. Chen Heng paid
the fare, opened the door and got off.
He made an appointment with a man who worked here; the person also happened to be the original host’s xué dì, though they
weren’t that close.
After waiting for a while, a man in work clothes hurriedly came over. “Su xué zhǎng, is that you?” The person
who came wasn’t tall and his hairline was somewhat receding, he possessed common facial features, but with an extremely eye-grabbing mole at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Heng smiled and nodded. “I haven’t seen you for a few
years.”
The man smiled and while scratching his head, he said. “Oh, that’s right;
you wanted to buy a car. I left a few well-equipped cars for you. Do you want
to take a look?”
Chen Heng’s face showed signs of embarrassment, he mumbled: “Do you have a
cheaper car; I just wanted to have a more convenient means of transportation
when going to work, it doesn’t have to be that good.”
The man stared blankly, then he immediately said: “We’re former
schoolmates, so I won’t charge you with the intermediary fee. The kind of car
you want should be around 50,000-60,000.”
“Is there… something that costs around 20,000?”
Ten minutes later, the man brought Chen Heng in front of a row of cars. “These
cars all have problematic parts. The owners were too lazy to repair these cars
so they dragged them here to sell as scraps. If you want, you can drive off with
one of these for a mere 10,000.”
Chen Heng’s eyes flashed a hint of something dark; he opened his mouth and
spoke gently: “That’s all right, I can just have it repaired.”
” Xué zhǎng, I am not saying
that a man ought to drive better cars, ah.
But this kind of car could only be operated for a month at most. I can’t give
it to you.” The man tried to persuade Chen Heng to change his mind.
On Chen Heng’s face was a shallow smile: “It’s not a problem. I’ll buy it and
just use it for practice. If I get enough money, I’ll change it for a new car.”
After meticulously inspecting the cars, Chen Heng finally chose a Volkswagen.
But because the owner of the car temporarily had to go back to the city due to
an emergency, he could only come back for it after a week. Chen Heng left after paying the deposit.
He went to the bus stop and waited for the
bus. After about five minutes, the bus slowly came over. Chen
Heng got on the bus and found a familiar-looking youth when he was looking for
a seat.
He stopped in his step before walking over. “What a coincidence, we meet
again.”
The youth, who still wore a non-mainstream hairstyle, sat up straight when he
heard Chen Heng’s voice. There was a glimmer of joy in one of his eyes that
wasn’t covered by his hair: “Ah,
hello.”
Chen Heng smiled and took the initiative to chat with him. “Since we’ve
been brought together by fate, let’s be friends.”

The next day was Sunday.
Song Wenze went out early to go on a date with Ou Yichen.
The house was very quiet. Chen Heng sat on the beige sofa with his head bowed
down, looking at the phone number on his screen. He thought it over for a
few seconds before pressing the call button.
After half a minute, the call was picked up and Xia Ming’s clear and melodious
voice was heard: “Hello?”
“Xia Ming, right?” Chen Heng’s eyes squinted against the bright
sunlight pouring through the window.
The young man on the other end of the phone appeared to be quite excited:
“Why are you calling me? Isn’t it your day off today?” As if realizing
that this question appeared to be somewhat inappropriate, the youth stammered: “Is
there something you want?”
Chen Heng’s eyes drooped down, and there was a faint smile in his tone. “Ou, I’m not busy today and I have
nothing to do, but I was thinking of going downtown to stroll around the zoo.
Going there alone would be too boring, so I was looking for someone to go with
me”
“Ou, so it’s like this ah.”
“Is now a convenient time for you?” Chen Heng asked.
“Convenient. Of course it’s convenient.” Xia Ming started to talk in
a hurry.
Chen Heng bowed his head and took a sip of his coffee. “Do you know where
I live?”
“En, I know. Wait for a moment, I
will come right away.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.” The smile on Chen Heng’s face
deepened, and his eyes were dark and unclear. “Call me when you arrive.”
After hanging up the phone, he placed it on top of the coffee table in front of
him. He took his eyes off of it for a moment, when out of the corner of his
eye, he caught sight of an unread message notification. He picked up his
phone again, opened his inbox, and immediately found a message from an
unfamiliar number.
It said: Come to the company to work overtime.
There was no signature, and the time stamp showed that it was sent at
7:30.
Chen Heng carefully thought about it for a moment. At that time, he was right in
the middle of making breakfast, and he didn’t hear the sound notifying him that
a text message arrived.
He pondered for a few seconds before he decided to dial the number, and while
waiting for the call to be connected, he was already thinking of excuses to
decline the order.
After a few seconds, the call was answered but no sound could be heard from the
other side.
Chen Heng had no choice but to politely ask: “May I know who this
is?”
“It’s me, Qi Wei.” Qi Wei’s rough and gorgeous voice was heard on the
phone.
Chen Heng did not wonder about how the other party got a hold of his phone
number, he awkwardly said: “I am sorry, but I have a small urgent matter
to attend to today so I cannot come to the company to work overtime.”
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“No need, it’s not a big deal.”
The young man on the phone was silent for a moment. “That’s alright.”
“En.”
Chen Heng waited, and seeing that the other party didn’t have the intention to
hang up first; he couldn’t help but say: “Then… byebye?”
“See you tomorrow.” Then the call was disconnected.
Chen Heng quickly threw this incident at the back of his mind and patiently
waited for Xia Ming to arrive.
Forty minutes later, his phone rang again. After taking the call and saying a
few words to Xia Ming, he strode down the stairs. When he arrived at the
entrance to his neighbourhood, he immediately spotted a car parked on the other
side of the road. Xia Ming lowered the car window, “Get on.”
This time, Chen Heng did not choose to sit on the back seat as per usual but on
the passenger seat. “It turns out that you have a car, ah.”
“En, but I normally don’t use it
when I go to work.”
Chen Heng nodded, this car was just your average car which was in line with Xia
Ming’s identity, but Chen Heng still feels that there’s something fishy. His
eyes motionlessly fall upon Xia Ming’s face; the other party still had long
bangs as before and was wearing a dark colored jacket with the zipper pulled
all the way up, just enough that it covered the youth’s chin. Chen Heng
carefully observed the other person’s face, looking for similarities with the
photos on the ID cards he looked up a while ago.
Seemingly aware of Chen Heng’s blunt stare, Xia Ming’s face turned slightly red,
“What are you looking at?”
“I’m looking at you, ah.”
“Eh?”
Chen Heng smiled softly. “This is the fourth time we’ve met, but I still haven’t
seen your face properly.” Putting on a joking demeanor, his voice suddenly
took on a lighter tone; his eyes looked as if they contained some dark devilish
power, his husky voice bewitchingly said: “Can you let me take a look?”
The tips of the youth’s ear flushed red; he lowered his eyes and didn’t
speak.
Chen Heng leaned towards him, his slender fingertips stroked the youth’s right
ear, and they unconsciously moved down to the side of his neck.
He asked once again: “Can you?”
Xia Ming felt that he was surrounded by Chen Heng; he breathed in the man’s scent
and began to slightly pant. He opened his mouth, eventually letting out a groan
as his sign of agreement.
Chen Heng’s eyes flashed, he leaned down and pushed the youth’s long bangs
aside. Then, a clean and delicate face was imprinted in his eyes.
The youth’s eyes and brows were clear, his nose was straight and refined, and
his lips were delicate and exquisite. His overall facial features were soft and
eye-catching, it’s just that his skin was somewhat pale, and it made him look like
a sickly person.
But his temperament can’t fool anyone.
How can this kind of person possibly be a courier?
Chen Heng suddenly smiled, and this smile appeared to be bursting forth, like a
huge net used to entrap his enemies, “You look really good. But don’t
leave your bangs this long in the future, it’s a pity that you should cover
your face like this” This one thinks that you look much better on
the photo of your ID card.
Xia Ming shyly blinked his eyes while blushing, and his long eyelashes gently
brushed against Chen Heng’s fingertips. “Didn’t you want to go to the
zoo?”
“En.” Chen Heng lightly
stroked his hair. “Let’s go.”
Xia Ming started the car and set off towards their intended
destination. Along the way, he was somewhat restless; the man he was
secretly in love with was sitting next to him. His heart was beating in
excitement. He really wanted to directly drive his car home, lock this man up
and enjoy him alone.
But it’s daytime right now, he can’t act rashly or the other party might
discover something.
In order to divert his attention, Xia Ming spoke in a low voice: “Do you
remember the first time we met?”
The first time we met?
Chen Heng carefully thought back on it. “Wasn’t it at the bus a month ago?”
Xia Ming shook his head and his eyes held a faint trace of mystery. “That’s
not it.”
It’s not?
Chen Heng lifted his eyes to look at him seriously; he could basically conclude
that the young man had met him before.
The anonymous letter directly indicated his real surname. The only possibility
is that the sender was also a member of the x organization. This could also
explain what the youth meant about the first time they met. Chen Heng was
used to keeping to himself inside the organization. He was normally occupied
with researching and developing various advanced instruments and equipment. Basically,
he couldn’t be bothered to communicate with his other colleagues so it wasn’t
out of the ordinary for him to not recognize Xia Ming.
Pretending not to know anything, Chen Heng asked: “When was that, ah?”
Xia Ming gave a shallow laugh, “I’ll tell you later.”
Chen Heng listened, and lightly laughed back.
Since this Xia Ming was from the same organization as him, then how did he come
here? If he was just an ordinary person, then Chen Heng could kill him
using all kinds of cruel means without the slightest hesitation; but if this
was a colleague of his, then he’ll need to think about it carefully before he
kills him.
After all, the other party hasn’t done anything to him in essence. Everything
in this world exists in the form of data; a person in this world, if killed,
would have no influence on the original world, but if that other person was a
real individual like him, would that person return to the original world or was
there something he wasn’t aware of?
Thinking of this, Chen Heng slowly lowered his eyes to a close to conceal his
dark expression.
After arriving at the zoo, Chen Heng was already preparing for their next
meeting. “In the future, if you’re bored, you can come find me and I’ll keep
you company.”
Xia Ming blankly stared at Chen Heng before a look of obsession flashed through
his eyes, and murmured his agreement.
Catching the look in the youth’s eyes, Chen Heng’s eyebrows rose as he showed a
gentle smile, and with a voice that was even more gentle: “To be able to get to
know you as a friend, I am truly very happy.” Since he can’t kill the other person
right away, then he’ll just carefully place him at his side and take advantage
of him when the time calls for it.
And Chen Heng already had a plan in mind to kill two birds with one stone.
***
Xia Ming’s physique was relatively weak and the zoo was on an uphill road. He
was gasping for breath while walking, and his complexion has turned white; he
looked like he could faint at any time.
When Chen Heng saw this situation, he took the initiative to reach out to him.
“Let me help you.”
Looking at the slender hand that was extended right in front of him, the young
man’s eyes turned dark, and he did not hesitate to reach for it. The moment
their palms touched, his heart faintly shook.
With Chen Heng’s help, Xia Ming’s complexion became much better, and his face
even showed a bright smile. When he laughed, his eyes would turn into
charming crescents, and his tiger teeth added a sense of childishness to him.
Chen Heng didn’t know why the young man was smiling and laughing so much; he
only felt that their palms were sweaty, sticky, and it was very
uncomfortable. Of course, his face still showed a warm spring-like smile,
and the sunshine sprinkling down his face only made his expression more and more
gentle.
But unexpectedly, this scene fell upon a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes
that emitted a cold air.
***
The author has something to say:
Small Theatre
Chen Heng heard of the news that was quickly spreading around: Qi Wei was not satisfied with their lovemaking.
It wasn’t known how this piece of news passed through Chen Heng’s ears.
But on this day, Chen Heng took the initiative to sit on top of Qi Wei’s body.
Qi Wei covered his crafty eyes with an innocent expression and shook his head.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
Chen Heng smiled, then he suddenly leaned over and connected their
lips. “You’re lying.”
He was seen through.
§
definitely sit three people.” Xia Ming pretended to misunderstand what the
other person said.
Chen Heng did not hear the implications of the words exchanged by the two men,
and echoed Xia Ming’s words: “Yes, ah.
A car is more than enough for three people, but I haven’t bought a car yet so I
can only sit in your car.”
“Sit in my car.” The two people’s voices sounded at the same
time.
Their voices have yet to fade when Qi Wei and Xia Ming took a look at each
other, then with tacit understanding they removed their gazes.
With their eyes shining with profound light, Qi Wei gave Chen Heng the right to
decide. “Su Yi, it’s your choice.”
Chen Heng didn’t understand why it was important for him to make a decision over
such a trivial matter. It seemed to him that they were simply wasting time over
nonsensical things.
Thus, he calmly said: “Just use rock-scissors-paper ba.”
Qi Wei and Xia Ming: “…” Idiot.
In the end, the problem was settled via rock-scissors-paper. Qi Wei’s paper to Xia
Ming’s scissors: Xia Ming won.
Xia Ming was very happy and Qi Wei was expressionless, he turned his head to
ask Chen Heng: “If it was up to you, what would you choose?”
Chen Heng thought for a moment, “Rock.”
Qi Wei heard that and the corner of his mouth slightly turned up, and there was
a faint smile in his eyes.
The three men parted ways after making an appointment to go out next week. Qi
Wei drove back by himself, and Chen Heng followed Xia Ming to his car. Chen
Heng considered Xia Ming’s cover and took the initiative to talk to him in the
car: “Being a courier must be very exhausting, haven’t you considered changing
jobs, ah?”
Xia Ming gripped the steering wheel in his hand tightly and vaguely replied: “I’m
still waiting a little a longer before changing jobs again.” He blinked
his eyes and looked straight ahead, driving the car intently, “How’s your
job? Are you getting along well with your colleagues?”
“It’s pretty good.” Chen Heng whispered back.
The young man next to him was silent, then he suddenly changed the subject:
“Didn’t you say that you had a younger brother last time? How is it that
you’re not related by blood?”
“He is the son of my parent’s friend. His father and mother died, so my
parents adopted him.” At the mention of Song Wenze, Chen Heng’s eyes
turned gloomy and he silently hanged his head down.
When Xia Ming saw the man’s eyes dim with sorrow and loneliness, his heart
suddenly had this urge. He wanted to hold the other person tightly in his arms
and plunder his body until the man only had him in his eyes.
Long before he approached this man, Xia Ming had already sent people to investigate
him. He was aware that the man’s younger brother had teamed up with his
ex-boyfriend to betray him. His heart must certainly be in pain after
being hurt by the ones he loved most, but he’s still smiling. Weak yet strong,
really makes people feel distressed for him.
There’s a voice in his heart saying: Hold him, overwhelm him, he needs your
comfort right now, but his reason tells him that he can’t do this.
It will scare the other person away.
But the bottom of his heart has already been set aflame, it raged within his
body, and burst after burst of frenzied throbbing soon followed after.
So hot, I really want to have him.
Seeing that they were about to reach the man’s apartment building, Xia Ming
very much wanted to turn the car around and directly take the man back home to
lock him up. His family is very powerful, even if he makes a man disappear
out of nowhere, no one will be able to trace it back to him. Xia Ming
couldn’t help but feel somewhat restless, but he knew that if he acted on this
impulse, the man would definitely resist. His body is no good, if the man
really resisted, he would not be his opponent.
That won’t do. He must think of the perfect strategy to grab a hold of the man,
so he can lock him up in the cage that he personally built for him. Then he’ll
be able to hold him and violate him all day and night.
“Thank you for keeping me company today.”
Captivated by the magnetic voice that passed through his ears, Xia Ming began
to fantasize about the other party making a helpless cry as he moaned using
this voice.
“Don’t mention it. You’ve said it yourself, we are friends, ah.” Xia Ming reigned in the
fervent look in his eyes and wore a shy smile.
“En, of course we’re friends.”
With his eyes covered with a faint layer of mist, Chen Heng’s smile was warm
and soft.
When Xia Ming drove away, he took back his gaze, and his plain face shed off
its gentle persona to reveal cold, hard eyes and an apathetic expression.
A while ago, when Qi Wei and Xia Ming were discussing the problem of who will
ride in whose car, Chen Heng had actually thought of the perfect murder plan: he’ll
orchestrate a car accident where Qi Wei and Xia Ming will unexpectedly die at the same
time. It’s merely killing one more person after all. Regardless of who the
real stalker is between Qi Wei and Xia Ming, this method is undoubtedly the safest
and most time-saving way of getting rid of the two together.
But unfortunately, this method was something he had carefully planned for Song
Wenze. A perfect murder plan would no longer be perfect if used more than
once. Accidental deaths must absolutely not happen in the same way. Since
he has determined that the person hiding in the dark that keeps on stalking him
and provoking him is from the same world as him, then after eliminating Song Wenze,
he’ll come for him(stalker) next.
At least for now, the most important thing is to break the official couple
apart which is the key in ridding himself of the system.
As for those people who dared to covet him, he will not let any of them off.
§
Because he wanted information on Xia Ming’s true identity, Chen Heng holed
himself up in the study when he returned and proceeded to use the computer to
track down Xia Ming’s detailed information. It took him less than three minutes
to understand everything there is to know about the other party.
Xia Ming, 23, the only son of the chairman of Xia Group, currently lives with
his family in the super-luxurious manor that the Xia Group spent a lot of money
to build. He was previously enrolled in L country’s most prestigious university
as a business administration major. For some reason, he dropped out of school a
month ago and returned home in advance without completing his studies.
Dropped out of school for some reason?
Chen Heng raised his eyebrows and pondered for a few seconds. He continued his
search and finally found Xia Ming’s medical record which contained a lot of
complicated data. After spending a few seconds reading the content, Chen
Heng turned the computer off and leaned back on his chair in silent
contemplation.
Schizophrenia, ah.He really wasn’t able to tell.
A small smile was evoked from his thin lips when Chen Heng carefully recalled
Xia Ming’s behavior. Although the man was indeed somewhat introverted, he could
never have imagined that the other party had this kind of illness. However,
this also made him more certain that the man was scheming something.
The proud son of heaven of a large financial group was lowering himself to be
your average express delivery guy?
Just thinking about it is ridiculous.
It would seem that this Xia Ming was really coming onto him; he just doesn’t
know whether the other party simply likes him or he has some other purpose. If
Xia Ming truly had feelings for him, and Chen Heng deliberately revealed that
he still had feelings for Ou Yichen; what kind of reaction would the young man
have?
Chen Heng narrowed his eyes; he really looked forward to it.
***
The afternoon sun was flooding in through the blinds, and brightening up the
room. Chen Heng lazily leaned against the wall with a cup of coffee in his
hand, and the warm sunlight fell on his shoulders, outlining his slender and
well-proportioned figure.
He contentedly took a sip of his coffee and listened to his colleagues’
discussion about the latest gossip.
“Hey, did you know that Xu Bin* was dismissed?”
[T/N: I was confused here, Manager Zhao (from Chapter 4) was the manager of the
planning who heckled Chen Heng into attending Qi Wei’s welcoming party. Then on Chapter 5, Manager Zhao became
Manager Xu Bin (I sticked to Zhao though)… maybe the planning department had
two managers? idk Let’s just assume that Xu Bin is Manager Zhao’s given name.]
“Xu Bin is the boss’ favorite and his boot-licking skills are top-notch,
why would he be dismissed?”
“Who knows; anyway this kind of person doesn’t have any other skills other
than flattering the boss and I’ve disliked him for quite a long time.”
Everyone said a few more sentences on this piece of gossip before they turned
the topic to something else.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Heng felt a bit regret in his heart. It truly was
a pity, he had originally wanted to teach that condescending Xu Bin a lesson.
When he returned to his seat, Gossip Expert Liu Hao also told him about Xu
Bin’s dismissal. After all, Xu Bin’s position in the company was fairly high,
and he was considered as the boss’ confidant; to say that he was dismissed just
like that was inconceivable.
“Maybe he made a mistake at work.” Chen Heng had no idea.
Liu Hao took a look around and after he was certain that no one was paying them
any attention, he moved closer to Chen Heng and whispered: “I heard from the others
that before Xu Bin resigned, he was called to Qi Zong’s office. I suspect that
Qi Zong ratted him out to the boss.”
Qi Wei?
Chen Heng brows knitted slightly. “Wasn’t Xu Bin very enthusiastic about
Qi Zong? He even prepared a welcoming party and what not, so it shouldn’t have
been him.”
“I’m positive it’s him. The boss hasn’t come back from his trip yet, and
Qi Zong has the highest authority in the company. I heard that the boss admires
Qi Zong and listens to him.” Liu Hao said, then his face turned doubtful.
“I just don’t know when Xu Bin offended Qi Zong.”
Chen Heng didn’t believe that Xu Bin would go and offend Qi Wei. Looking at his
eagerness and enthusiasm for Qi Wei, Xu Bin’s just short of having a tail that
wags whenever he sees him. How could someone like that possibly offend Qi Wei?
If Xu Bin did offend anyone, then it
would be Chen Heng.
Wait a minute, Chen Heng couldn’t help but recall the matter of Xu Bin ordering
him to apologize to Qi Wei. Don’t tell me that Qi Wei dismissed Xu Bin because
of him?
Oh, it seems that this Qi Wei values him very much, ah.
***
After Song Wenze and Ou Yichen reconciled, these two people’s ardent relationship
appeared to be even better than before. Every time Chen Heng came home from
work, he would be greeted by their intimate displays of affection. For example,
right at this moment, Song Wenze had his head on top of Ou Yichen’s legs, and
Ou Yichen was helping him clean out his ears.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Song Wenze glanced at Chen Heng who was
changing his shoes by the entrance. In a clingy and sticky manner, he called
out: “Brother, you’re back.”
“En.” Chen Heng avoided Song Wenze’s gaze and was barely able to
squeeze out a smile. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Apparently very satisfied with the expression on the man’s face that looked
like he was forcing himself to smile, the youth concealed the dark look that
appeared in his eyes and with his soft voice, he coquettishly said: “I
love everything that brother makes.”
“There’s still some dumplings in the fridge. Should we eat that
tonight?”
“Okay, ah.” The youth’s
voice had not yet fallen, when his eyebrows furrowed and he hissed,
“Yichen, you’re hurting me.”
Ou Yichen hurriedly pulled out the ear pick and anxiously asked: “Are you
all right? Does it still hurt?”
Song Wenze touched his ear and looked at him doubtfully. In Chen Heng’s presence,
he asked, “What were you thinking just now ah, why do you keep looking at my brother?”
“I…I wasn’t.”
Song Wenze sneered and sat up straight. He took the ear pick from Ou Yichen’s
hand and spoke in half truths: “Brother is mine. Don’t even think of
robbing him from me.”
“What are you talking about?” Ou Yichen quickly glanced at Chen Heng.
“He is your brother and my good friend; what am I robbing you of?”Ou
Yichen’s gaze held a touch of complexity as he said this, though it was only
fleeting.
The incident at the hotel last time, it would seem that this man has already
forgotten about it, but he still hasn’t let go.
He is fully aware that he already had Song Wenze; that he shouldn’t have
feelings for this man that go beyond friendship, that he shouldn’t long for him,
but he can’t control himself. Even though he and Song Wenze are on good
terms again, Ou Yichen realized that his desire for Su Yi did not diminish but
was increasing instead. It was to the point that he even had spring dreams*
about him.
[T/N: spring dream=erotic dream/wet dream]
This has never happened before.
“All right, all right, I’m going to cook, you two better not quarrel again
ah.” Chen Heng shook his head
and turned around to go to the kitchen.
Ou Yichen’s gaze unconsciously followed Chen Heng’s back until he felt a sharp
pain in his arm. He cried out in pain, and Song Wenze growled under his breath:
“What are you doing!”
Song Wenze put away his smile; his beautiful face was expressionless.
“I told you, don’t even think of taking my brother from me.”
“Who wants to take him from you ah.”
Maybe he was lacking confidence in his answer, but Ou Yichen touched the part
of his arm that had turned blue because of the pinch, and whispered: “Shén
jīng bìng*.”
[T/N: this means ‘mental case’ or ‘neurotic’… but in TMK the MC’s name
was Shen Jin Bing, since it sounded similar to shen jing bing, her randomly
generated game ID was ‘nutjob’]
Song Wenze didn’t hear it but he was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he laughed
and happily pulled on Ou Yichen’s arm, leaning his head on the other man’s
shoulder. “I was just playing with you, I know you like me.” As he
spoke, he looked at the bruise on Ou Yichen’s skin with distress. “Does it
hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.” Ou Yichen stroked the youth’s hair and emphasized
his words: “The person I like is you.”
However, even though his mouth kept saying that he liked Song Wenze, Ou Yichen
knocked on the door of Chen Heng’s room in the dead of night.
The man opened his eyes in the dark, listening to the sounds of movement at the
door, he asked: “Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
Ou Yichen’s low voice was heard outside the door.
Chen Heng turned on the lights, put on his slippers and walked towards the door.
It opened with a loud creak.
“Is something the matter……” He was pushed past the door and his
back slammed heavily against the wall before the words had even left his lips.
Chen Heng made a muffled groan, and the next moment, Ou Yichen’s burning hot
body covered his; trapping him in his arms.
“Su Yi.” Hot breath coming out in puffs sounded in his ear, and the
voice of the man trapping him was pained and bitter. “What should I do?”
Chen Heng pushed against Ou Yichen’s shoulders with both hands. “Yichen,
don’t do this.”
“I didn’t want to do this, but as I slept on Wenze’s bed, the person I was
thinking of was you.” His outstandingly handsome face was filled with helplessness
and the man lowered his voice as he said: “Su Yi, I really want you.”
”
In regards to Ou Yichen’s repeating words and actions; Chen Heng’s patience had
already been completely used up. His face turned cold. “I can’t share you with Ā
Ze.”
Ou Yichen heard his words and was silent.
Chen Heng’s eyes darkened upon seeing his response, then he suddenly changed
his expression. Under the dim light, his clear face was covered by a mysterious
and fascinating air.
“If you’re willing to break up with Ā Ze completely, I’ll give you
anything you want.” He sighed in Ou Yichen’s ear, and his slender
fingertips slowly ghosted over the man’s throat, feeling it tremble under his
touch.
I really want to cut off his neck.
It was in the middle of this ambiguous atmosphere that an implicitly indignant
voice rang out from the door. “What are you doing?”
Chen Heng opened his eyes and peeked over Ou Yichen’s shoulders to look at the
tall and slender young man. At this moment, the other party’s pair of beautiful
eyes was filled with sadness, anger and grievances; he had a complex look on
his face, akin to one you’d see on an abandoned child’s, as he stood outside
the door alone.
Seeing the youth show such a heart-broken look for the first time, Chen Heng only
felt contempt in his heart and pushed Ou Yichen away.
“Ā Ze, it’s not what you think, you listen to me.”
Just as he was about to walk towards the youth; Ou Yichen, who was beside him,
seemed to have woken up and quickly ran to Song Wenze’s side. “Wenze, don’t
misunderstand. I couldn’t sleep, so I looked for Su Yi thinking that we could
chat for a while.”
Chen Heng didn’t think that Song Wenze would believe such a stupid excuse, but
for some reason, the youth actually reached out and embraced Ou Yichen. While resting
his chin on top of the man’s shoulder, he stared intently at Chen Heng, saying:
“En, I believe you.”
I just don’t know whether this sentence was said to Ou Yichen or to Chen
Heng.
The corner of Chen Heng’s mouth pulled up into a faint smile. “It’s late, and
I’m very sleepy. You two should go back to your room and sleep.”
Song Wenze listened and his eyes flashed. Pushing Ou Yichen away, he faced Chen
Heng and took the initiative to extend his arms. The man paused before reaching
out and hugging the youth. Then he heard the youth whisper in his ear: “So,
as long as I break up with Ou Yichen, you’ll be with him?”
It turns out that he heard everything.
The youth proceeded to gently say: “Brother, I won’t give you that
chance.” Song Wenze withdrew his hands and blinked innocently at Chen
Heng. “Good night!”
Chen Heng’s lips twitched slightly: “Good night.”
After Song Wenze and Ou Yichen left, Chen Heng closed the door, and under the
dim light, his eyes seemed to be experiencing a storm.
Since Ou Yichen repeatedly provoked him, he doesn’t mind spending a little more
time in getting rid of him. Even if the system interfered, he still has the
means to get other people to do his dirty work.

At the same time, in a dark and secluded room, a light screen stood vertically
in the air, and complicated data rapidly streaked across its surface like
meteors. Under the flickering lights, a tall and slender figure could be seen
standing in front of the screen.
Qi Wei was calmly looking at the light brain in front of him, the precise
numbers and symbols form a database in his mind, and he was able to quickly
find all kinds of useful information from it. The light brain, which was
from his original world, was analogous to the computer. However, its
application is far more profound and extensive compared to computers. It was
capable of creating new unfathomable things into the world.
The system* was also a product invented by manipulating the light brain’s programming.
[T/N: I’ll need your opinion on this, just read the note below]
He was able to come to this world by using the light brain to decode the
loopholes in the system which enabled him to shuttle in. However, since he
forced his way in to this void space, his soul which was in the process of
crossing over, was subsequently met with resistance and attacked by the system.
The attack caused a fragment of his soul to be left behind in this world.
He was originally looking for this soul shard, but the moment he saw Xia Ming,
the resonance he felt in his soul made him very sure that his soul fragment was
in Xia Ming’s body. If he can’t get this soul fragment back, then he
wouldn’t be able to return to his original world.
But if he wanted to retrieve this fragment, he’d have to do it while Xia Ming
is unconscious; otherwise he would most likely be devoured. In a sense,
the present Xia Ming could be considered as his other self, and he is destined
to never being able to lay his hands on Xia Ming. The moment he attempts to
harm the other, the resisting force will become more intense, and it’s highly
probable that his soul will remain incomplete.
Thinking up to here, Qi Wei stroked his lips, and his eyes gleamed, faintly
flashing a strange look.
***
On the other side, Chen Heng who was aware that Xia Ming had schizophrenia,
took the initiative and constantly invited the latter out. The two men would
often meet to jog or play badminton together.
Xia Ming was very weak, so Chen Heng gently encouraged him and motivated him
every time. He very patiently accompanied Xia Ming in exercising together. Over
time, Xia Ming’s physique slowly improved, and his love for Chen Heng also
increased.
He even began to look forward to these meetings with Chen Heng; because every
time he finishes an intense exercise, the man’s face would be dyed with a red
blush, and his sweat-soaked vest would cling to his torso, outlining the
seductive and tempting curves of his body.
The original hosts living habits were good; he worked out three to four times a
week. Because of this long-term exercise, the muscles on his body are
well-proportioned and beautiful. They weren’t like those of gym fanatics who
meticulously exercise; his muscles were distributed in a thin layer over his
body, giving his skin a distinct texture. In addition, he had a tall and slim
stature so he looked pretty good, especially when he wore a white shirt.
Xia Ming’s face was red; he was captivated by Chen Heng who was dripping with
sweat on the basketball court. He watched as Chen Heng skilfully dribbled the
ball and leaped for a slam dunk. Seeing those beads of sweat glide down the
man’s body; the youth’s heart slammed in his chest, and that thing between his
legs began to swell.
He really wanted to lick all that sweat off. Then he’ll open the man’s legs and
ruthlessly pound himself into his body, f*cking him until he cries.
He could barely wait for that moment.
Chen Heng came back after he finished playing with the ball. He walked towards
Xia Ming while lifting up the hem of his vest, using it to wipe the sweat off
his face. His thin and sturdy waist was revealed to Xia Ming’s eyes.
Because the hem of the vest was raised too high, that small point on the man’s
right chest was faintly discernible, and Xia Ming subconsciously swallowed his
saliva.
The desire that he had managed to press down a moment ago started to stir again,
and the youth had to drink half a bottle of iced water.
The man finally reached him after he had finished drinking his water. Xia Ming,
who had a red face and a bashful smile, handed him the towel that he had
prepared beforehand.
Chen Heng smiled as he took the towel and properly wiped his face.
“For you.” Xia Ming carefully opened the bottle cap and handed the
water over.
“Thank you.” Chen Heng reached out to take it before raising his head
to drink more than half of the bottle.
Xia Ming’s gaze was fixed at the man’s throat that was bobbing up and down as
he drank water. He felt that familiar heat on his lower body. He crossed his
legs and deliberately used his hands to hide his arousal.
After drinking his fill, Chen Heng poured the remaining water on top of his head.
He shook his hair and the sparkling translucent drops of water splashed
everywhere, glittering like dazzling pearls in the sun. Upon seeing this,
Xia Ming’s eyes were in a daze as he stared straight ahead, the man’s figure
was the only thing reflected in the pitch-black pupils of his eyes.
I really want to hurry up and possess him.
The man’s magnetic and seductive voice passed through his ears: “Isn’t it
boring, just sitting here by yourself?”
Xia Ming came back to his senses and shook his head quickly. “It’s not
boring at all.” He even wished that he could watch him play basketball
every day, only like this would he be able to openly ogle at the other man’s
body.
Chen Heng smiled and a pampering look appeared in his eyes; then as if
placating a cute house pet, he softly stroked the youth’s hair. “I’ll
teach you how to play basketball some other time, okay?”
“En.” Xia Ming answered with a heavy nod.
He doesn’t like the feeling of sweating, but if it meant that he can have more
physical contact with the man in front of him; then whatever you want him to
do, he would be willing to do it.
After their exercise, the two men found a small inexpensive restaurant and had
lunch.
Xia Ming’s appetite was very small but Chen Heng gave him a lot of dishes until
the food in his porcelain bowl was as high as small hill. The young man weakly
opened his mouth: “This is too much.”
Chen Heng didn’t even lift his eyebrows. “You’re too thin, you should eat
more.”
Was he concerned about him?
Xia Ming’s eyes narrowed in happiness, he silently closed his mouth, and let
the man continue to put food in his bowl.
En, he must eat all the dishes that the man gave him.
In the end, Xia Ming didn’t manage to eat everything; his stomach was too small,
it simply couldn’t take in so much food. Chen Heng, who noticed his
pitiful appearance, gently said: “Don’t force yourself if you’re unable to
eat any more.”
The young man timidly glanced at him. “You won’t get angry?”
Chen Heng stared blankly, he did not understand the young man’s train of
thought, but nevertheless he smiled and said: “I won’t get
angry.”
Xia Ming put his chopsticks down, and rubbed his round belly with a sheepish
smile.
This time of the year put it between late summer and early autumn; a cool wind
was blowing and it ruffled Chen Heng’s bangs. Xia Ming resisted the urge
to run his fingers through that soft hair, and continued to slowly walk beside
the man in silence.
In this moment, in the cool autumn breeze, the youth suddenly recalled the time
he met the man for the first time.
He had just been told that he had a mental disorder and was sent to a mental
hospital for treatment. He was very unhappy and refused to speak for one whole
day. His parents were worried that his condition would suddenly act up and
kept him in the house. The moment he found an opportunity, he stealthily
climbed down from his window, avoided the servants, and slipped away in a car.
He didn’t know where to go, so he aimlessly drove around in circles.
That was when he came across a man who asked him for a ride.
He didn’t guard against the man and opened the door. However, he didn’t expect
the other person to actually be a robber. Not only did the man rob him of
his cash, he also stole his car keys and forced him out of the car. On
account of the fact that the other party was wielding a knife with a fierce and
menacing expression, Xia Ming was forced to comply with the man’s orders and
got off the car.
At first, he thought that he would be left stranded on the streets, but at this
critical moment, Chen Heng dropped from the sky* like a hero covered in
sparkling golden light. He immediately used the briefcase in his hands to smash
the face of the man sitting in the sports car.
[T/N: this is only a figure of speech which means ‘to appear unexpectedly’]
The man yelled “Ah” and was just about to drive off when Chen Heng
nimbly jumped into the passenger seat and punched the bridge of his nose.
This was the first time that Xia Ming had witnessed someone with skills this
good. Unwavering and incisive, every move looked as if it was calculated with
machine-like precision: it was the perfect combination of strength and beauty.
At that time, Xia Ming just stood outside the car, watching foolishly as the
man one-sidedly crushed the robber. The beating only stopped when the robber
was at death’s door, and the man used his sleeve to wipe the blood that had
splashed on his face. He extended a bloody hand towards the robber’s pocket and
pulled out a cell phone.
He knew then that the robber had stolen the man’s cell phone before coming to
rob him.
Chen Heng jumped out of the car with his briefcase in hand after he retrieved
his phone. He faced the stunned Xia Ming with an arrogant expression and a
voice tinged with danger. “Do you know what you’re going to say to the police?”
Xia Ming immediately understood, “Rest assured, I won’t mention anything
about you to the police.”
Chen Heng listened and his eyes narrowed with satisfaction. He left the scene
without saying another word to the youth.
The police arrived afterwards. The hospital examined the extent of the robber’s
injuries and found out that he had a broken nose, a ruptured spleen, and three
broken ribs. One of the broken ribs nearly punctured his lungs and he almost
lost his life. The police determined that the person who thrashed the
robber had the intention to kill, and they questioned Xia Ming about what
happened. But Xia Ming kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything regarding
Chen Heng. In the end, his family settled the matter.
It was on that day that Xia Ming fell madly in love with Chen Heng.
He didn’t know what kind of magic the other man had, but he couldn’t help but
be attracted to Chen Heng. He learned how to draw, and sketched out the
man’s face according to the way he had remembered it, then he hired a private
detective to investigate. The waiting process was incredibly long, and it
wasn’t until half a month later that he finally knew all there is to know about
Chen Heng.
In the following days, he constantly sneaked out and wandered around the man’s
company.
After he had finished going through these past events in his mind, Xia Ming
came back to reality. He looked at the quiet and gentle Chen Heng by his side,
and a pure and innocent smile blossomed on his face.
Although he had no idea why the man was acting like a completely different
person—becoming gentle and amiable—Xia Ming was still fanatically in love with
him.
He wanted to lick his whole body and imprison him in his bed.
Every day and every night, possessing him completely.
§
whether intentional or not, Xia Ming’s obsession with him grew deeper and
deeper, and the infatuation that he normally concealed in his eyes was
overflowing. What Chen Heng wanted was precisely this effect. Once Xia
Ming’s love for him accumulates to a certain extent, he would then subtly manipulate
the youth into believing that as long as he kills Ou Yichen, Su Yi would agree
to be with him. .
Of course, he can’t just directly open his mouth and make Xia Ming kill someone
for him; that would count as an act of harming the CP, and it would definitely
be detected by the system. And so, what he needs to do is to have Xia Ming
willingly commit murder for him without him having to say anything.
Didn’t Xia Ming have schizophrenia? Stimulating it should be very easy,
right?
When the time comes and the youth has been found to have killed a man due to
the onset of his illness, he would undoubtedly be put in a mental hospital.
This could be counted as killing two birds with one stone.
However, Chen Heng, who took everything into consideration, underestimated Xia
Ming’s intense and perverted desire to possess him. He thought that Xia
Ming was a shy and introverted person; the kind that was easy to control and
manipulate. But in reality, the more introverted a person is, the more they
tend to go beyond people’s expectations by doing unexpected things.
On this day, Chen Heng felt that it was time, so he invited Xia Ming out to
watch a movie. He wanted to use this opportunity to confide his ‘worries’
to Xia Ming, and to have the youth listen to the story of the chaotic love
triangle between the original host, Ou Yichen and Song Wenze.
Chen Heng thought to himself that it was time to put his acting skills to the
test. During that time, it would be best for him to shed a few drops of
sorrowful tears to let Xia Ming establish his desire to kill Ou Yichen.
The young man at the other end of the phone was using a calm manner of speaking,
but Chen Heng could tell that the other party was suppressing the joy they
really felt, so he deliberately lowered his tone of voice and said: “Xia
Ming, thank you for willingly coming out to accompany me. Ā Ze and Yichen
aren’t here, and staying at home by myself was very boring.”
Chen Heng didn’t know that in a dark room somewhere, the person he was talking
to was currently wearing snow white gloves and was faintly shaking the
reagents in his hands; the light in the youth’s eyes was as dark as the bottom
of an abyss. He only heard Xia Ming say with a gentle voice: “I’ll
come to your house to pick you up later.”
“Good, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Listening to that deep melodious voice was like listening to the world’s most mellifluous
words of love, Xia Ming excitedly thought, the man’s cries of ecstasy would
surely be very pleasant to hear.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ming began to prepare in an orderly manner. He
already couldn’t wait to trap Chen Heng to his side and had even prepared a
chain for him; the iron chain was as thick as his arm, and even with the man’s
great strength, he wouldn’t be able to break free.
As early as the moment he fell in love with the man, Xia Ming had begun to make
preparations for this plan.
He had been hesitant before, worried that the other party would hate him, but
the longer he interacted with the man, the more he was unable to extricate
himself from him.
He believes that as long as he manages to obtain the other person’s body, there
will inevitably be a day where he’ll also obtain his heart.
***
When Qi Wei called, Chen Heng was straightening out the cuffs of his sleeves.
He swept a casual glance at the phone screen before picking up his phone and
answering the call.
“Hello?” He moved the phone to his left hand, and his right hand slowly
put on his cufflinks.
The sapphire blue cufflinks exuded an enchanting radiance, exquisite and
luxurious; its superior quality was evident with just a single glance.
Of course, given the original host’s salary, he shouldn’t have been able to
afford such an expensive thing. They were Song Wenze’s gift to the original host
on his 25th birthday. Although Song Wenze had a perverted desire to
take everything away from the original host, the way he treated him was still
pretty good. He would often give the original host all sorts of high-end
clothes which were naturally bought using Ou Yichen’s money.
“Su Yi, do you have time today?” On the phone, Qi Wei’s low, dulcet
voice was tinged with a magnetic huskiness.
“I have something to do today. Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Didn’t we have an agreement that you’ll take me to tour the famous sights
of the city?”
Chen Heng’s eyes flashed. “I’m really sorry, but I have some personal
matters to deal with today. Maybe we could meet up some other time.”
“Oh, is that so.” Qi Wei put away the smile on his face, and his
voice increasingly became softer as he said: “You’re probably busy; in that
case, I won’t disturb you.”
“En, Bye.”
He had just hanged up the phone, when Xia Ming’s call came through. “Su Yi, I’ve
already arrived downstairs.”
Chen Heng smiled and said: “Good, I’ll be right down.”
Because Song Wenze and Ou Yichen were out travelling, Chen Heng didn’t need to
explain anything about him going out with others to Song Wenze. Everything was
perfect.
When Chen Heng arrived downstairs and got in the car, he turned to the youth
and asked: “Is there a movie you want to see?”
“Anything’s fine.”
The young man’s voice was stuffy, and it sounded unclear.
“Then let’s go take a look at the blockbuster movie that was just released. I
heard that the special effects were great.”
“En.”
Chen Heng gave the young man a few glances; he felt that Xia Ming was unusually
less talkative today.
After they arrived at the underground parking lot, Chen Heng and Xia Ming got
off the car. They were about to take the elevator to go to the third floor
cinema when a group of people silently blocked their way.
Chen Heng frowned: “Who are you?”
The hulking man in the lead was carrying an iron bar and leering at Xia Ming behind
him. “Hand over the boy behind you, he broke my things, and I’m going to
teach him a lesson today.”
“What things?” Chen Heng turned his head to look at Xia Ming who was
hiding behind him in fear.
The young man bit his lip, his eyes were red, and he cried out in fright:
“I was sent to deliver a package and I accidentally broke the things they
asked for. They wanted me to pay for damages, I didn’t…” He cast a glance
behind Chen Heng, covered his mouth and shouted: “Ah, be careful!”
Chen Heng swiftly dodged the hulking man’s sneak attack and kicked the iron bar
out in his hand.
“Hide behind me.” Chen Heng quickly spoke this sentence to Xia Ming
before he entered the fray.
He didn’t notice the strange look in Xia Ming’s eyes. The blood in his body was
boiling, and without the slightest hesitation Chen Heng seized the opponent’s
weapon and revelled in listening to the sounds of cracking bones and miserable
screams.
Ten minutes later, each and every one of these able-bodied men was holding onto
their stomachs as they rolled around on the floor, howling in pain.
“Su Yi, are you all right?”
Chen Heng wiped the sweat on his forehead. “I’m fine.”
“I was so scared.” The young man clung to him tightly, and Chen Heng
patted his head in a soothing manner, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” A
white handkerchief appeared at the corner of his eyes. He reached out to take
it and was just about to wipe his face when something cold touched his
arm.
Chen Heng froze as he realized that the handkerchief was smeared with something,
then in the next moment, a needle was inserted into his arm.
“What are you doing?” Alarm bells were going off in his heart; Chen
Heng cast off all pretenses, and his eyes emitted a murderous aura. He elbowed
the youth’s soft stomach, one after another, wanting to break him open. Xia
Ming was groaning in pain, but he appeared to have gone mad. Enduring the
unspeakable pain in his abdomen, he used one hand to cover the man’s nose and
mouth with the handkerchief while he used the other hand to force the drug in
the syringe into the man’s body.
The substance that could make people unconscious was continuously inhaled by
the man. Gradually, Xia Ming could feel the other party’s struggles becoming
weaker and weaker, until his eyes finally closed and he fell silently in his
arms.
It worked.
As if he couldn’t believe it, Xia Ming threw the handkerchief away and caressed
Chen Heng’s face with trembling hands. The slightly cool fingertips slid down
the man’s forehead to the bridge of his nose before finally stopping at his
pale pink lips. The man’s thin lips were slightly open, and Xia Ming thought
about putting his finger in.
His originally clear eyes have already turned dark; they contained desire,
obsession and excitement. Various emotions converged which made his expression
look extremely neurotic.
I finally got him.
He restrained his restless heart and put his forefinger inside the man’s mouth,
wantonly touching the soft tongue. Waves of wild and unfamiliar feelings were
surging at the bottom of his heart. The youth’s face was flushed red; panting
heavily, he forced himself to retract his finger.
He really couldn’t wait a moment longer.
He wanted to lock the man up, chain his limbs and enjoy his body as much as he
likes.
Back to the manor, Xia Ming personally carried Chen Heng out of the car. He was
very thin and carrying a person was strenuous for him, but he didn’t want
anyone to touch Chen Heng, and so he walked slowly, step by step.
The butler was somewhat bewildered at seeing the man in Xia Ming’s arms.
“Young master, weren’t you going out? Who is this person?”
Xia Ming brushed past the butler, and his tone was blithe and concise.
“He’s my precious guest that I invited to come over.”
“This…”
The old butler, who was about sixty years old, looked at the unconscious man in
the youth’s arms. He wondered, is there anyone who’d invite people over to
their house like this?
The youth ignored the hesitation on the butler’s face. “Don’t breathe a
word about this to my parents.”
“Yes, young master.”
Watching the youth leave with shaking footsteps while carrying the strange man,
the old butler shook his head. It would seem that the young master’s mental
illness was getting progressively worse; he actually went so far as to kidnap a
living, breathing person.
Āi, looks like
Sir and Madam will once again have to deal with the aftermath of the young
master’s actions.
***
Xia Ming gently laid Chen Heng on top of the large and super luxurious bed that
could accommodate six people, and then he bound the man’s limbs with the chains
that he had previously prepared. He knew that the man was very strong, so
to guard against the possibility of the other party waking up half-way, he must
first ensure that the man wouldn’t be able to put up a fight.
After all this was done, he took a scalpel and directed the sharp edge of the
blade at the man’s clothes, cutting the white shirt open to reveal the firm and
supple body inside. His grip on the scalpel was steady, and the shirt was
soon cut into strips of the same size.
Perhaps Chen Heng had just taken a shower before he left, for there was still the
faint scent of the shower gel on his body. Xia Ming pressed on the man’s
body, deeply inhaling the scent that had him enthralled; he was like a drug
addict smoking opium, his fair and gentle face showed an enraptured expression.
His hands didn’t hesitate to sneak in through the gaps on the shirt, roughly
groping the man’s chest. At this point, the youth was no longer the shy and
cowardly Xia Ming; his formerly bright and clear eyes were filled with the
raging desire to plunder.
He really wanted to ** him.
But his first time with this man must happen when both sides are awake.
With this kind of conviction, Xia Ming endured and settled on putting his lips
on Chen Heng’s neck……
Meanwhile, Qi Wei turned on the light brain; he pulled up the original Su Yi’s
corresponding data, and began to look for Chen Heng’s specific position.
.
He would like to take a look at what Chen Heng claimed to be an important
personal matter.
However, when the light brain successfully accessed the data and he saw the picture
that emerged on the screen, the tall and beautiful young man’s complexion
turned ashen; he almost couldn’t believe the scene that was playing out on the
screen.
Since the light brain initiated the simulation system, the scenes that appeared
on the screen seemed to be very real, as if it was happening right in front of
you.
The only reason why Qi Wei developed this simulation system was so he would be
able to ogle at Chen Heng anytime and anywhere. He usually spent the rest of
his night watching as the man bathed and slept, then, in his mind, he would
fantasize that Chen Heng was lying under his body wearing a euphoric expression
as he reached a pleasurable high.
Who would have thought that one day, he would personally witness his other self
pressing down on Chen Heng’s body, doing the things he longed to do.
Anger and jealousy almost burned away his sanity. At that moment, Qi Wei
suddenly wanted to kill ‘himself’, the one who only had a small part of his
soul.
Parental qualification certificate / сертификат o родительской квалификации
В 3018 году нашей эры, если вы хотите стать родителем, вы должны сначала получить «Сертификат о родительской квалификации».
Из-за детской травмы Су Юйтань просто не могла получить этот сертификат.
Она чувствовала, что ей суждено быть одной, и пожертвовала яйцеклетку, чтобы сделать добро.
Кто знал, что предполагаемый усыновитель неожиданно умрет, когда ребенок появится на свет.
Шанс стать матерью для своей дочери был перед ней, но она не смогла воспользоваться возможностью, потому что у нее не было сертификата.
Я хочу умереть!
Отец ребенка слегка улыбнулся:
– Я могу получить сертификат. Я буду растить этого ребенка.

Сертификат, се маркировка, certificate of conformity, срок действия, аккредитованный орган европейского союза, требования безопасности
Сертификат требуется по ряду Директив Союза и модульным схемам. В Сертификате указываются наименование продукции, модель или модификация, производитель продукции, владелец сертификата (если необходимо), нотифицированный орган (уполномоченный орган) выдавший сертификат, срок действия сертификата, номера и даты протоколов испытаний продукции, с указанием
гармонизированных стандартов
, согласно которым были проведены испытания и которые применялись к данной продукции, Директивы, применимые к конкретному изделию.
Сертификаты могут быть выданы структурами расположенными исключительно на территории стран EEC и некоторыми структурами в Австралии, Канаде, Новой Зеландии, США, Японии. На территории СНГ и Китая, таких структур нет, в том числе и международных, они не имеют юридического права на выдачу документации о соответствии требованиям Директив.
В случае, если компания, не зависимо от юрисдикции (в том числе из СНГ), выполняет любые сервисные работы на территории стран членов Сообщества и применяет в своей работе различное оборудование попадающее под требования Директивы 2006/42/ЕС машины и механизмы, 2021/30/ЕС электромагнитная совместимость, 2021/35/EU низковольтное оборудование и системы, 2021/34/ЕС приборы и защитные системы для применения во взрывоопасных средах – ATEX, 2004/22/ЕС измерительные приборы и прочие, оборудование, приборы и машины должны соответствовать согласованным требованиям и нести на себе СЕ маркировку, если она определена гармонизированным законодательством.
Сертификат происхождения товара формы А Certificate of Origin form A не является документом, подтверждающим соответствие требованиям согласованного законодательства.
Производители должны учитывать какие преимущества дает сертификация продукции.
Не зависимо от того, для какого рынка проводите сертификацию продукции, вы указываете потенциальному потребителю, что не стоите на месте и продукт соответствует нормативным требованиям страны поставки.
Многие розничные торговцы и дилеры предпочитают или требуют, чтобы продукция, которую они продают, была сертифицирована.
В некоторых странах, иногда в конкретной области, штате, городе, действуют особые правила, позволяющие реализовать только сертифицированные продукты. Такие требования существуют в Европейском союзе и достаточно часто, национальные или региональные требования в странах ЕС, более жесткие чем те, что определены в европейских Директивах или Регламентах.
Продукция, имеющая сертификат, дает уверенность потребителям, что он безопасен.
Сертификация продукции сообщает конечным пользователям, розничным торговцам и регуляторам рынка, что аккредитованная сторонняя сторона оценила продукт при процессе сертификации в соответствии с отраслевыми стандартами.
Как правило, любое действие или практика, осуществляемые в ходе коммерческой деятельности, противоречащие честной практике, представляют собой акт недобросовестной конкуренции.
Фиктивные испытания продукции, относятся к категории недобросовестной конкуренции.
Действия, вводящие в заблуждение потребителя о соответствии всем применимым к продукту требованиям с неверными данными или утверждениями, к коим относится и протокол испытаний, заведомый отказ от испытаний продукта, ведет к несправедливому рыночному преимуществу.
Если компания, размещающая продукцию на рынке Сообщества, прямо или косвенно использует любые средства, которые нарушают принципы конкуренции, маркировка CE проставлена без каких-либо обоснований на упаковке и на самом продукте, привлекается к ответственности.
В соответствии с требованиями различных законодательных Актов Европейского союза о безопасности продукции (в Германии ProdSG) продукт, на который распространяется законодательство, может быть размещен на рынке только тогда, если он соответствует требованиям.
Всякий раз, когда продукт должен быть размещен на рынке в ЕС, важно, чтобы ответственные стороны соблюдали требования к дизайну, изготовлению, тестированию и маркировке продукта, изложенные в любых применимых директивах ЕС по конкретным продуктам.
Существует более 20 таких директив, каждая из которых устанавливает требования к продуктам. Многие продукты попадают в сферу действия более одной Директивы и он должен соответствовать всем применимым требованиям
Каждая директива предусматривает, как минимум:
• набор основных требований, включая требования к дизайну продукции и маркировке, которые должны быть выполнены;
• процедура оценки соответствия для демонстрации соответствия основным требованиям;
