Chapter 21 People Are Running With Secrets

The white clouds outside the window floated slowly in the air, Fu Gangqiang exhaled a puff of smoke, and the smoking room was filled with smoke. Manager Hao was eloquently talking about his son's family of three traveling during the summer vacation.

"...the island has plenty of sunshine. When I wake up naturally, the sun shines in from the curtains. It's so beautiful!"

Fu Gangqiang was absent-minded, answering every time.

"Hey, Lao Fu, did you hear me?"

"Well, I'm listening, the sun is particularly abundant," Fu Gangqiang glanced at Manager Hao: "Indeed, it's dark."

"My wife put on two thick layers of sunscreen, but it didn't help." Manager Hao tanned two shades a week.

Fu Gangqiang clicked on the phone, and the screen page stayed on the dialogue between him and Bai Chuan.

He sent a message at ten o'clock in the morning: Not feeling well?

Bai Chuan replied at 11:30: A little bit, I can go to work tomorrow.

If it's just a simple cold, it's impossible for Bai Chuan to take a vacation.

Fu Gangqiang flipped through the chat dialog between the two unconsciously, and finally his eyes stayed on the "good night" that Bai Chuan sent him a week ago.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Fu Gangqiang turned off the phone screen.

"I'll take half a day's annual leave in the afternoon." Fu Gangqiang stubbed out his cigarette butt and said to Manager Hao.

Fu Gangqiang's annual leave is inexhaustible. The last time he used paid leave in large quantities was when he got married.

"Okay, just make up the annual leave application form later. Is there something urgent?"

Fu Gangqiang nodded: "Yes, a friend is not feeling well."

When Manager Hao heard this, he winked and said, "A woman?"

Fu Gangqiang has never asked for leave because of a friend's illness, and this friendship may be unusual.

"What are you thinking, man."

"Really?"

Fu Gangqiang was too lazy to talk to him and walked towards the door.

When his hand was about to touch the doorknob, Fu Gangqiang stopped, turned his head and said, "Why do you think it's a woman?"

Manager Hao squeezed his small right eye, and said, "A man, are you so caring?"

Fu Gangqiang: "I am caring?"

"If you don't care, you ask for leave? If the head of the company, Mr. Fu, asks for annual leave, you go to the personnel department to check your annual leave use history and when you used it."

Fu Gangqiang's annual leave is only used for a few symbolic days when it is about to be cleared.

Manager Hao's words made Fu Gangqiang frowned, and he changed his mind. If Wang Dongyu or Manager Hao were sick today, would he take half a day off to see them?

……He will not.

Very weird, indescribably weird.

Suppressing the inexplicable doubts in his heart, Fu Gangqiang opened the door and said to Manager Hao without looking back: "Did you wear a hat when you went to the island? Ultraviolet rays can also cause hair loss."

Manager Hao's voice came from the gradually closing door: "Really?!"

Fu Gangqiang always went to his house with Bai Chuan, never alone.

As a guest, it was the first time he pressed the conversation button at the entrance of the apartment, and there was smooth waiting music coming from the speakers.

After waiting for 30 seconds, Bai Chuan's voice did not come from the speaker, but the calling system automatically cut off the connection.

Fu Gangqiang took out his mobile phone and made a voice call to Bai Chuan.

It is impossible for the sick Bai Chuan to run around, he is very likely to fall asleep, of course, there is a worse possibility that he has fainted, or is in a situation where he cannot answer the phone.

Just when Fu Gangqiang was about to contact the administrator, Bai Chuan's voice was connected.

"Minister?" Bai Chuan's voice was sober, but the volume was a little low, and it sounded a little weak.

"How are you doing."

Bai Chuan: "It's okay."

"I'm downstairs at your house, you open the downstairs door."

There was silence on the other side for a moment, and the sound of Bai Chuan's breathing on the microphone could be vaguely heard.

"Bai Chuan? Can you hear me? I'm downstairs at your house."

Bai Chuan was short of breath: "Minister, you should go back first, I'm not feeling well today."

"I'm here because you're not feeling well. If you're alive and kicking, what am I going to do?"

Fu Gangqiang glanced at the freshly baked muffins in his left hand: "I brought you the muffins that I said were delicious last time, haven't you eaten yet?"

Bai Chuan didn't answer again, the other side of the microphone was quiet, and Fu Gangqiang felt that he was talking to the air.

"Are you dizzy? Can..."

This time Bai Chuan interrupted him: "The access code is 5298."

After finishing speaking, Bai Chuan took a deep breath and said with a light smile, "Minister, I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

"What did you say?" Fu Gangqiang didn't understand: "What day?"

Contacting Bai Chuan's context before and after, a bad premonition rose from the bottom of my heart: "Bai Chuan, wait, I'll go up right away."

Fu Gangqiang quickly pressed the access code, maintained the call with Bai Chuan, and ran towards the elevator with big strides.

"Bai Chuan, tell me, did something happen to you?" Judging from the voice, Bai Chuan's mood was obviously not right.

On the other end of the phone, Bai Chuan remained silent.

Fu Gangqiang: "The elevator is here, you open the door and wait for me."

After getting on the elevator, Fu Gangqiang recalled what Bai Chuan said.

"The day is coming so fast" is usually the result of something known, and not a bad one, when you wish it came later.

Maybe his family was seriously ill?Thinking of Bai Chuan suffering silently at home alone, Fu Gangqiang felt very uncomfortable.

He thought, he should have called him sooner.

When you hear the news from Wang Dongyu, you should call Bai Chuan.

So is Wang Dongyu, won't he ask?When a commune member asks for leave, he doesn't even know about any illness?

The elevator went up to the 23rd floor, and Fu Gangqiang quickly walked out of the elevator carrying the muffin, and the door of Bai Chuan's house opened a crack.

He took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward and opened the door.

There was an unpleasant smell in the room, mixed with a bit of fishy smell and the smell of alcohol.

Bai Chuan leaned against the door, his fair face was bloodless at the moment, and it could even blend with the white wall behind him.

The curtains in the room were all drawn, leaving only a gap, and a ray of light seeped in from the outside. The room was as dark as a dark room for processing film.

When Fu Gangqiang came to Bai Chuan's house in the past, it was always bright, with soft lights, or warm sunshine, and the colors were very warm.But today is different, the whole room is shrouded in darkness, making the people in this room feel depressed.

Waiting for Fu Gangqiang to see Bai Chuan's clothes, all his words were stuck in his throat.

He quickly walked into the door and closed the door with his backhand, lest other people see Bai Chuan's appearance.

"You..." His throat seemed to be blocked with viscous liquid, Fu Gangqiang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Bai Chuan only wore a thin white half-sleeved T-shirt, which Fu Gangqiang wore when he came to his house. It was wide and big on Bai Chuan, and the hem hung down to his thigh.

Just enough to cover his bare lower body, the exposed legs are straight and slender, and the body hair is very light.If there were no bite marks and red marks all over them, it would be a very beautiful pair of legs, just like what Fu Gangqiang saw in the hotel on a business trip, making men blush and heartbeat.

Although Bai Chuan was wearing a T-shirt on his upper body, he could still vaguely see the shocking traces under the clothes, not to mention the bruises on Bai Chuan's neck and face.

"Probably, I won't be able to go to work tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Bai Chuan said with a smile, just like usual.

Fu Gangqiang couldn't laugh at all, he could see what the marks on Bai Chuan's body were even if he didn't understand.

Seeing Bai Chuan like this, he was both shocked and angry.

Angry at his own stupidity, he just thought that something happened to Bai Chuan's family.

Also angry at, how could Bai Chuan make himself like this?

"Where's that person?" Fu Gangqiang bypassed Bai Chuanwang and walked inside, wanting to find out which scum could do such a thing.

Bai Chuan followed behind him, his steps were very slow, and if you look closely, you will find that his posture is very strange.

"I can't bring people home."

Bai Chuan would never bring a one-time man home, and he would find a hotel far away from home. It would be best not to see each other forever after the first time.

Fu Gangqiang stopped, turned around and looked at Bai Chuan, he was very angry now.

When people are irrational, it is easy to say some irreparable things or regret things.

Fu Gangqiang was not only angry, but also mixed with various complex emotions.

He took a deep breath to calm himself as much as possible, and lowered his voice, "Is the other party a man?"

From Bai Chuan's awkward way of walking and the marks on his body, Fu Gangqiang could already guess the answer, but he still wanted to hear Bai Chuan say it himself.

"Well, yes." Bai Chuan was very calm, as if this was a very common thing.

"You...you volunteered?"

Bai Chuan smiled, a faint smile bloomed on his beautiful face, and said softly: "Of course it's voluntary, otherwise I should be taking notes at the police station now."

why?

Fu Gangqiang frowned, silently looking at Bai Chuan.

As if he knew what he wanted to ask, Bai Chuan said, "Because I'm gay."

With his right hand behind his back, Bai Chuan clenched his right fist vigorously, and repeated with a smile: "I'm gay, I've always been."

Vaguely expecting this answer, Fu Gangqiang gritted his teeth and said, "Is that man your boyfriend?"

Bai Chuan laughed and said, "No, yesterday was the first time we met."

Fu Gangqiang: "Meeting for the first time? What do you mean?"

Bai Chuan looked very uncomfortable, he leaned back against the wall, and said, "That's what it means, I found it on the Internet, just to... relieve it."

Bai Chuan seemed to have remembered something, and said, "When I went on a business trip with the minister last winter, do you still remember?"

Strangely, Fu Gangqiang remembered very clearly the red marks on Bai Chuan's neck and his slender and straight legs.

"That time too?"

Bai Chuan nodded: "Yes, every time."

Seeing Fu Gangqiang's puzzled expression, Bai Chuan smiled and said: "I forgot, the minister doesn't agree with this kind of thing. But I'm an adult, and I can't always solve it with my hands. Although it's not nice to say this kind of thing, but Nor did it break the law."

Indeed, in today's "convenient" society, some people choose to use their hands to restrain their desires, and of course some people want to pursue a more comfortable and fast way.
