Chapter 230: I've been waiting for you where you are

Yu He came out of the lab, and it was already afternoon.

He told Man Chen the whole story, and then managed to get a Feng Bo system, made a covert modification and gave it to the other party.

His appointment with Man Chen was set for 4:00 pm the next day. Until then, Man Chen had to stay in Yu He's private lab, pretending to be used as a blood compulsion test to avoid suspicion.

Other than that, he didn't want to talk to Man Chen about anything, and after everything was explained, he left the place alone.

But Yu He didn't go back to his suite right away; he had some things that he had to get out of the way first.

As usual, he came out of the lab, walked around the open space downstairs, fed the hyenas with control rings, sat on the garden lounger and played mobile games for a while, and even called some of Huzhou's partners to talk business with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhang ...... hahaha, see your message, the project is not urgent, I am in Australia on a business trip, so, we have not met for a long time, come back to meet, I find you to make an appointment, you see when you are convenient, okay? Okay, okay, okay."

"Hello, Mr. Yang ......"

He went about his business as usual, finished his phone call leisurely, went to the island's sweet store to get a pistachio ice cream, and took a short walk.

But in fact, he had been secretly watching the surveillance cameras outside the Dela Man building, calculating the feasibility of several options for tomorrow's operation. When it was almost dark, he went back to the garden restaurant for a snack, then put on his headphones, listened to music, and walked towards another lab in the Dela Man building.

After he left, one of the maids cleaned up the juice drink snack trays placed on the garden table and chairs while staring at Yu He's back, then lowered his head and said to Wen Duan through his accompanying headset, "Chief Duan. Mr. He was all normal before, but he was very strange just now, he went to the lab that is not commonly used ...... Well, still want to continue to follow? Okay ...... I got it."

.

One hour later.

Inside the lab.

Yu He frowned and wiped the blood marks on his fingers.

He was still too rusty with these instruments, and actually cut his finger in order to make something so simple.

But finally finished before the war, just can't give it away yet, have to wait for it to be fixed a little.

Yu He sighed and stared at the thing on the test bench for a while, then finally he closed his eyes, got up and went to the sink, took off the blood-stained test rubber gloves, and rinsed his hands under the faucet.

It was completely dark, and the clock on the wall pointed to 7:40.

He gathered his things and headed for the Dela Man building. The elevator goes up, through the thickly carpeted hallway, and Yu He stops at the door of his suite, but his hand stops before he touches the biometric door.

He stared at the endless summer carved into the door.

--This is the last night before the war.

Man Chen has been rescued by him, and tomorrow they will rendezvous and work together to destroy the radical cold light.

If nothing else, this is the only night he has left to spend alone with Qingcheng Xie.

Yu He closed his eyes, he didn't want to resign himself to his fate, for which he had been preparing all day. After a moment, he took a deep breath, entered the password and pushed the door in -

Qingcheng Xie is not in the living room.

He heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Qingcheng Xie was taking a shower in the bathroom, Yu He stood there for a while, thinking that it was better for him not to go in first. He paced back and forth to calm his mind, and finally thought about it and decided to go to the kitchen first to cook something, so that when Qingcheng Xie came out, he could eat something first and then talk to him slowly.

Yet he froze as soon as he reached the table.

On the table, there were several home-cooked dishes of meat and vegetables, which were made with ingredients from the fridge. There are sweet and sour lotus root, light and refreshing green vegetables and tofu, fresh and tender Kung Pao chicken, and a pot of grainy and golden Yangzhou fried rice with many moist shrimps.

Yu He stood rigidly in place for a long time.

It was the first time Qingcheng Xie prepared a dinner just for him.

His heart was beating so fast all at once.

He did not know ...... wonder if Qingcheng Xie also and he reported the same idea, perhaps Qingcheng Xie also think that this is the last night, so want to leave no regrets, perhaps Qingcheng Xie also have something to say, want to say to him ......

He thought again of the phrase "no regrets" last night, and Qingcheng Xie took the initiative to kiss him with a passion that was not disguised.

It was these details that gave him so much to look forward to, like the flowers that were struggling to bloom even before the end of the day, adorned with a fine light in his heart.

Yu He looked at the table of home-cooked food, his heart like a drum, palm sweat, so much so that he had to go to the living room to pour himself a cup of hot water to drink two sips, in order to keep himself calm and look as normal.

He sat down at the coffee table as the sound of the water in the bathroom continued to rumble. He listened absentmindedly for a while and glanced into the kitchen where the lights were on and the dishes were laid out. He was like a man waiting for an important interview, expecting the conversation to go faster so he would know the final outcome, and wishing it would happen slower to give him a little more time to breathe.

In the process, Yu He inadvertently saw a copy of "The Nightingale" sitting prominently on the tea table, which Qingcheng Xie had put aside halfway through the book.

Fixing his eyes again, he couldn't help but be stunned.

That's the message Qingcheng Xie risked leaving for him!

He quickly swept his eyes in the direction of the bathroom, then carefully read over the words on the title page.

" Yu He , Wen Duan sent someone this afternoon to say that he wants to talk to me alone at eight o'clock. There are dishes on the table, eat well and wait for my return."

It seems that Qingcheng Xie had thought he would not be able to get home on time, so he wrote something down in advance. In order to be cautious, Qingcheng Xie did not write more, but guessed that Wen Duan is afraid of sensing something strange, want to test Qingcheng Xie, Qingcheng Xie do not go can not.

Yu He looked at his watch, it was almost eight o'clock.

"......" Yu He's heart popped heavily again. His fingers trembled slightly, his mind was complicated, and he finally ripped off the page with his name on it, folded it into a white rose, and quietly put it into his chest lapel pocket.

Just after doing this, he heard the bathroom sliding door clatter.

He stood up abruptly and rushed to the bedroom.

Qingcheng Xie had already changed his clothes and was wiping his hair, when he saw Yu He suddenly running in, he was startled: "...... You're already back?"

Yu He's throat knot rolled back and forth twice before he let out a dull "hmmm".

Under surveillance, the distance is too far to say much. Yu He stumbled and suddenly thought of a way.

He went over and took a snow-white dry towel and put it over Qingcheng Xie's shoulder, then turned his face sideways and kissed Qingcheng Xie's sideburns with his warm, slightly trembling lips.

"I'll blow your hair." Said a gentle tug on his sleeve.

Qingcheng Xie was stunned, understood, dropped his eyelashes, could not see any expression, and Yu He went to the bathroom.

The hair dryer in front of the mirror picked up, and Yu He stood behind him, his tall form pressed against his robe wrapped back: "The clothes are wet."

Qingcheng Xie : "......"

"Blow a little longer."

Yu He said and turned on the switch, the noise sounded, he stood behind him to blow his hair, and at the same time, naturally, he said quickly to Qingcheng Xie in a faint voice: "The paper on the table, I saw it. Did Wen Duan say what he wanted you to do?"

Qingcheng Xie : "He said it's just a talk, I can't not go, but I can see that he should just want to test, you don't have to worry. What about you? How are you doing with the arrangements for tomorrow?"

Yu He : "I've got it all set up too ......"

Taking the time to blow-dry their hair, Yu He and Qingcheng Xie quickly communicated the important events of the day and what they should do tomorrow.

Yu He told Qingcheng Xie that he had given up Jingfeng Zheng as the cooperating candidate and rescued Man Chen.

After a moment of surprise, Qingcheng Xie accepted the arrangement - indeed, Man Chen was the best choice other than Jingfeng Zheng.

Qingcheng Xie asked, "Does he know all about the situation?"

"It's all clear."

"...... You didn't get into a fight with him, did you?"

"Time was short, I only talked to him about business matters, there was nothing to argue about."

Qingcheng Xie thought to himself, if Yu He had known the truth from Man Chen and knew that he and Man Chen had not had any relationship, his reaction would not be the same as it is now. It seems that they really didn't communicate anything except the plan for tomorrow.

When his hair was almost dry, Yu He smelled the light and cold scent of Qingcheng Xie's body.

Qingcheng Xie's hair tenderly passed through the gap between his fingers and twisted around his fingers, he finished his business in this winding fingers, he raised his eyes and looked at the two people in the mirror.

The clock is ticking, eight o'clock is coming up.

Yu He whispered, " Qingcheng Xie ......"

Qingcheng Xie also looked at him in the mirror: "...... eh?"

Yu He wrapped his arms around his waist, and the man in the mirror did the same, he felt a slight tremor in his arms, he looked in the mirror and looked down at Qingcheng Xie's pale neck.

He lowered his head and kissed Qingcheng Xie's jawline as if he couldn't help himself. The lingering, like Qingcheng Xie's light trembling, was not a pretence.

He said softly, "Are you worried about tomorrow too ......?"

Qingcheng Xie's fingers are resting on the side of the flow table, slightly white: "Don't worry, it will be fine tomorrow."

Yu He's thick eyelashes fluttered, the fine kisses spread unceasingly, from his chin upwards, kisses across the bridge of the nose, eyebrows, forehead, and finally he simply turned Qingcheng Xie's entire body from his back to him, carrying him to sit on the sink, so that Qingcheng Xie's back against the cold mirror.

He wrapped his fingers around Qingcheng Xie's, interlocking his fingers against the mirror, and then kissed Qingcheng Xie's lips heavily.

The heat in the air rose up at once, and he kissed him lingeringly, mournfully, hopefully.

When the lips were wet and separated, Yu He lifted his eyes to the ambiguous light in front of the sink and looked at Qingcheng Xie's eyebrows with fascination.

Close by, he said in front of him, "You know, I ...... almost couldn't hold back today ......"

"Didn't hold anything back." Qingcheng Xie asked between gasps.

Yu He said, "I didn't hold back and wanted to kill Man Chen."

"!!!"

Yu He gently touched his cheek with the tip of his nose, loving and horrible: "I was wondering if I killed him ...... and we could go back to the way we used to be ...... I wanted to make him disappear from this world, I think I killed him now And you won't know, you won't know anything ......"

" Yu He , you-"

"But I thought of you. I didn't lay a hand on it."

"......"

Yu He clutched one of his hands, pressed it against the sink, and whispered, " Qingcheng Xie , I understand why you don't want to talk to me about personal matters, because we have a lot of preparations to do, and those concerns the lives of thousands of people and even more victims, but I feel that you have been wanting to say something to me since last night. I'm not sure that's what I'm eager to hear, and I'm curious to know exactly what you want to say to me."

"So, I've spent the daylight hours figuring out all the most important things. And I've done a whole day of mental preparation, and I promise that no matter what I hear, I won't lose control and interfere with the mission."

"......"

" Qingcheng Xie , have you ever thought about what if there was an accident tomorrow and you or I, either of us, died in the mission?"

Qingcheng Xie's heart tightened for a moment.

"I don't want to just stop here with regrets, and not even have the courage to tell all the truth inside until I die. I can't let go."

"...... I have a lot of things I want to say to you." Yu He said, "I know that you feel that the truth is important, but I wonder if you could risk this one last time for me, trusting that I won't lose control and tell me all that is in your heart. Can you leave this last night to me, can you be selfish this one and only time for my sake."

"......"

The almond eyes looked toward him, to the bright and shimmering peach blossom eyes.

He was, as he was when he was invited to dance, a look of infinite anticipation and slight apprehension.

" Qingcheng Xie . Do you have anything you want to say to me tonight?"

Qingcheng Xie looked at him steadily.

They linger as if tomorrow morning is the end.

When they are sentimental, it is as if all the torture has not happened.

In fact, after Yu He left in the morning, Qingcheng Xie was alone in the house for a long time thinking. He knew that it was too dangerous to talk about personal love at this time, given both their emotional and mental state, but after the preparations were completed, there was no other chance for them before the official mission was launched.

Some words, if not even tonight, then if there are regrets, maybe it will regret a lifetime ......

He didn't expect Yu He to be more thorough than he had thought - Yu He had crammed all the most important pre-decisional deployment calculations into today, leaving time for the night.

Then this young man asked him, "Can you give me the last time.

I've been preparing for this all day.

Can you trust me not to lose control.

Can you be selfish for me even this once.

Eyes crossed, entangled and indistinguishable.

Qingcheng Xie has never risked his life for anyone, but this moment in front of Yu He, he was shaken.

"...... is." Finally, Qingcheng Xie said, calming himself down and staring at Yu He without blinking his eyes, he had never cared about any love affairs in his life, they were once not enough to mention in his eyes, but in Yu He, he finally stopped being so, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

Yu He's heart shuddered and clutched his hand: "I have too. There are many, many things I want to tell you."

The heart beats like a drum.

I don't know who it is.

Qingcheng Xie looked him in the eye, and with one word, as if promising, "So do I."

Yu He's eyes reddened slightly: "Then tonight ......"

Dang... dang... dang...

Just then, the bell of the living room desk clock rang, and the doorbell was rung as expected.

At eight o'clock, Wen Duan's sense of time is always very strict, and someone is already waiting at the door.

But Qingcheng Xie heard the sound of ringing the doorbell, but did not leave immediately.

He gazed at Yu He's face, and he had the feeling that Yu He might have vaguely guessed what each other wanted to say, just as he had.

The two of them are like the ice that has been frozen for a winter, and when it melts, it is not the sunlight that melts it all away. The ice first became thin, and then fragmented, and under the ice began to have a gentle flow of water out, the process as if from hatred to protection, from protection to ambiguity, from ambiguity to apprehension, from apprehension to test, from test to confirm the heart ...... little by little, in the April day on earth, and finally turned into the long-lost spring flood.

The good thing is that all this is not a sudden flow, but a gradual one, so that it is good ...... as frozen for too long can not be immersed in hot water at once, only slowly rubbed, back to warm, in order to let the once deep in the ice cold people do not hurt.

For both of them, it was even more so.

When this layer of veil can no longer cover the heart of the hot tide, like a secret love chase has come to an end, the two people in the light veil before saying I also love you have vaguely guessed each other's hearts.

Deep in the veil, the two look at each other, as if through the thin red look at the new face, even if the fan has not been picked, the handkerchief has not been lifted, but also in a trance can see the eyebrows.

Only a solemn statement of intent is still missing.

The last night we held hands and told each other, a thousand knots were solved.

"You wait for me, okay? After I see Wen Duan, this whole night will be yours alone."

Yu He's heart swells with an unnameable rolling emotion, he stares into Qingcheng Xie's eyes, and at the urging of the doorbell, he kisses Qingcheng Xie's lips once more.

"Good. I'll definitely wait for you to come back."

The doorbell was rushing even more.

The lips and teeth are loosened and the clothes are changed.

Before Qingcheng Xie left, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said to Yu He, "Right."

"What's wrong?"

"There's one thing that I want to talk to you about first."

Yu He's heart was beating fast: "What is it."

"I haven't had any dealings with Man Chen." Qingcheng Xie stood by the door engraved with Endless Summer, quietly looking at Yu He, he knew Yu He could understand him, Yu He must be able to understand him.

This one sentence, clearly, does not directly hit Yu He's heart and stir his emotions alone, it is more like a spiritual calming, like a thousand feelings of padding, when Qingcheng Xie back, more words, more things, then finally can also follow like spring water melting, tell the mouth.

He didn't want to leave any more regrets.

Qingcheng Xie said, "Never."

Yu He's heart burnt, the heat rushed to his eyes, he felt dizzy for a while, obviously it was something to be happy about, but I don't know if it was because he had gone through too many ups and downs, but he felt his heart hurt like a twinge, extremely love and extremely pain.

"...... I ...... I don't know anything about ......"

"There's a lot of things you shouldn't know either, when I get back. I also have something I want to ask you."

"Good ......"

Qingcheng Xie finally looked at Yu He in the doorway, and in the light and darkness, he turned his face sideways and seemed to smile at Yu He.

That smile was like nothing Yu He had ever seen before.

As if the door of the guest room in his dream finally opened, Qingcheng Xie looked down at him as a teenager, smiled and said what are you anxious about kid, I have always been there.

I'm always on ......

Click.

The door gently closes again.

Qingcheng Xie departed with Wen Duan's cronies.

Yu He stood alone in the room, unable to calm his mind for a long time.

He stands in the midst of yesterday and today, in his youth and in his youth, in this room that is not unlike the one he was in, and his chest seems to be beating with drums.

Finally, he murmured to no one in sight, "Come back early, I'll be waiting for you where you are."
