Chapter 2
I.
I haven"t seen him for years. Zhang Jue felt that Chen Boqiao has changed and became troublesome.
It took Zhang Jue fifteen minutes since he got out of the car to buy the sandwiches and returned with the packing bag. As soon as he opened the door, he found that Chen Boqiao was wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses that he didn"t know where to be found. And a varicolored small cat was sitting in his hand. The cat seemed like two or three months old. Seeing Zhang Jue appeared suddenly, the cat in Chen Boqiao"s hand screamed.
“Pick it up at the intersection,” Chen Boqiao confessed actively and quickly. “The cat"s foot was hurt. The sungla.s.ses were found out of the glove box, because I"m afraid of being recognized.”
Zhang Jue was a bit helpless, and he did not want to say anything about Chen Boqiao, so he had to give the sandwich bag to Chen Boqiao first, then got into the driver"s seat and closed the door.
Chen Boqiao lowered his head and touched the kitten"s head. Then he took off the sungla.s.ses and asked casually, “you are not happy?” He scratched the cat"s chin, raised the cat a little, and asked Zhang Jue to look at the cat. Chen Boqiao said to Zhang Jue, “Let it apologize to you.”
The kitten was very pet.i.te in the hands of Chen Boqiao, and looked very scared.
“I"m sorry,” Chen Boqiao whispered, holding the cat"s claws.
Zhang Jue looked down and looked at the cat. He looked at Chen Boqiao"s straight bridge of the nose and brow ridge from the corner of Zhang Jue"s eyes. His heartbeat frequency became improper immediately. The words “All right” were stuck for a long time before he spoke out.
On the way to the safe house, Chen Boqiao put the cat on his lap and teasing occasionally.
Zhang Jue had always been careless about downy animals, but because the cat was picked up by Chen Boqiao. He decided to care slightly after he was silent for a while, “Where did it hurt. I looked it"s fine.”
“It"s lame,” Chen Boqiao said, “it should have been rolled by a pa.s.sing car and the foot was hurt.”
Zhang Jue never knew what to say. Thinking about it for a while, he asked, “Did it need a treatment?”
He really didn"t know if there was a veterinarian in the town. If there was a pet hospital or shelter. It would be nice to give money to keep the cat. Otherwise, Chen Boqiao would probably want to take the cat with them.
“It"s better to find a place to treat.” Chen Boqiao teased the cat and said.
“Then I will go out to look for the veterinarian at night.” Zhang Jue said.
The town was small, but there were many lanes and narrow roads. Zhang Jue drove the car intently and followed the town map in his memory. He turned a lot of turns and successfully reached the downstairs of the safe house. He said, “we have arrived.”
“Zhang Jue. You know the way well" Chen Boqiao said in the darkness.
Zhang Jue didn"t know how to answer, so he said “yes”.
Of course, he was familiar with the route.
The route that he took Chen Boqiao to evacuate was remembered by Zhang Jue over and over again, maybe he never forget it.
Every key item"s storage location, every alternative plan, and the escape route, even all the architectural drawings of the shantytown where the safe house was located, Zhang Jue can think of it with closed eyes.
He asked Chen Boqiao with the cat to sit in the car, and he got out of the car and pulled up the shutter door, then drove the car into the garage, and went out to close the door.
The sound of the shutter door was a little loud, and the cat in Chen Boqiao"s hand seemed to be frightened again who was motionless and huddled up. Zhang Jue took the key and opened the door. He took Chen Boqiao into the house, then pressed the switch near the wall. He turned on the light and said, “The house is not big, but we must make do.”
“It"s bigger than I have lived in these months,” Chen Boqiao looked around the room and thanked Zhang Jue again, “Thank you.”
Zhang Jue shook his head, and looked at Chen Boqiao for a second, then looking away.
Chen Boqiao is also very tall in Alpha. He is very gentle, but the sense of oppression and aggressiveness in pheromone can also be seen. Zhang Jue lowered his head and pointed to another sandwich bag in Chen Poqiao"s hand. He said, “Eat first.”
They sat on the narrow sofa for cold dinners.
The meat of the sandwich was not chewy, which was soft and rotten, and the flavor was too heavy. It was very spicy. The lettuce and bell peppers of the side dishes had faded, and the edges of the leaves were a little dark. Chen Boqiao ate quickly, but didn"t swallow. He just left a small piece of bread for the cat.
Zhang Jue observed for a while and failed to a.n.a.lyze whether Chen Boqiao was satisfied with the sandwich, but Zhang Jue felt that this was the best dinner in recent years.
After Chen Boqiao finished eating, he picked up the remote and turned on the TV, and a third-level song and the dance movie was displayed on the screen. A few Omega girls dressed very little danced with the music. Chen Boqiao did not change channels.
Zhang Jue saw it for a few minutes and was restless. Then he went to the bedroom drawer and took two guns and a linker to Chen boqiao. He said, “I went out to find the veterinarian. And I will be back soon, and if you got into trouble please contact me any time.”
Chen Boqiao weighted his gun and politely said to Zhang Jue, “Thank you.”
Zhang Jue said, “Okay.”
He opened the door and just wanted to go out. Chen Boqiao suddenly stopped him behind, “Zhang Jue.”
Zhang Jue looked back, Chen Boqiao"s face was half in the shadows and half illuminated by lights. Chen Boqiao said, “It"s really troubling you.”
Chen Boqiao with a smile while talking. Chen Boqiao was handsome and Zhang Jue always knew it.
“I can"t ensure my own safety and even pick up a cat, which is hypocritical,” Chen Boqiao said with a mockery.
“No.” Zhang Jue immediately denied.
He tried to think of some good words, but didn"t say it because he felt that Chen Boqiao had heard enough, and he must have ignored them all, so he had to say, “I know you have always been such a person.”
Seeing that Chen Boqiao"s complexion had not changed, Zhang Jue paused and added, “You are a hero.”
Chen Boqiao smiled and turned his eyes back to the screen.
Zhang Jue stood still for a few seconds, hurriedly picked up the car key and went out.
II.
“It"s me.”
“Don"t worry, I am temporarily safe. I"m in the independent state of Thailand with Zhang Jue.”
“I know. He doesn"t do my work. He took someone to stay in the Asia Union for two months. Didn"t anyone find it?”
“He will come back at any time, and the time is very tight, don"t talk nonsense.”
“By the way, I didn"t pick up the locator but threw the shield.”
“Take it easy, just explore his limits.”
“We will drive to Bangkok and then board the ship to North America tomorrow. The name of my new pa.s.sport is Shen Yuhua and my pa.s.sport number is AU9931738. It is not sure where I will board a ship.”
“Continue your movement.”
“Well, I will contact you again. Don"t call this number.”
