    Chapter 31 This Alpha is not afraid of anything. The doorbell rang…

    The doorbell rang, interrupting Wei Zhi’s thoughts. He held the armrest of his wheelchair with his knuckles slightly, and the cold metal touch made him wake up a little.

    He opened the door, and Zhuang Qian was a little surprised to see that it was Wei Zhilai who opened the door. She raised her eyebrows, walked in to change her shoes, and looked around: “How come you opened the door yourself, where is Cheng Cheng?”

    Wei Zhi snorted: “I went to have supper with my secretary.”

    Zhuang Qian found it a bit funny and stated the facts calmly and to the point: “He abandoned you and you were very unhappy.”

    Wei Zhi glanced at him faintly: “The wording is not accurate, he is just leaving for a while.”

    Zhuang Qian pushed him up to the third floor, and the wheels of the electric wheelchair left a slight friction sound on the floor: “I advise you to tell him clearly about the adoption as soon as possible, lest he really abandon you.”

    When she arrived at the rehabilitation room on the third floor, she opened the thick soundproof curtain and the moonlight from the window instantly flooded in, illuminating the reflection on the equipment.

    Wei Zhi was silent for a while: “I don’t know how to speak.”

    Zhuang Qian seemed to have heard a fairy tale and sneered: “When did you become so stubborn? When I used to coax clients to sign contracts, I could turn black into white with my smooth tongue. If you really like him and want to have a good life with him, you should tell him as soon as possible.” She walked to the equipment to adjust the tension.

    “I know,” Wei Zhi closed his eyes tiredly and leaned his neck on the backrest of the wheelchair, revealing his clear jawline, “Why are you suddenly so concerned about me today?”

    Zhuang Qian sneered twice: “Haha, I’m not your good brother yet. I met him when I came here today.”

    Wei Zhi became a little more interested. He stood up and dragged his head: “Ji Ziheng? His law firm is right opposite your research institute. It’s hard not to run into him.”

    Zhuang Qian’s usually expressionless face seemed to be covered with frost at this moment, and his brows were twisted into knots: “He is too difficult to deal with! Follow me from the entrance of the institute to the entrance of the alley, talking like Tang Monk reciting sutras, the buzzing is so loud that it hurts the brain!”

    “What did he tell you?”

    Zhuang Qian turned around and glared at him, with a bit of blame in his tone: “I’m not talking about you! I complained about you for not answering calls on WeChat and asking you when the adoption procedures will be completed. I don’t know these things, so he asked me my head.”

    She paused, as if she was remembering something that made her even more angry, her voice rose a little, “By the way, he actually read our latest journal, said that our experiment was against human ethics, and started criticizing it right away!”

    Wei Zhi looked at her machine-gun-like output with a smile and came to the conclusion: “He must have been in trouble emotionally recently, and maybe he was dumped again.”

    Zhuang Qian said sarcastically: “Haha, he has been dumped not one thousand times but eight hundred times. Why haven’t he gotten used to it yet?”

    After saying that, she glanced at Wei Zhi with her sharp eyes: “You deliberately led me to talk about Ji Ziheng, do you want to be lazy and skip a set? Come here quickly!”

    Wei Zhi moved to the stretching equipment and fastened his seat belt without forgetting to ask: “He must have said something else to you, otherwise you wouldn’t be so angry. Tell me quickly.”

    Zhuang Qian seemed to have thought of something, his face instantly darkened, and he said with a livid expression: “Your movements are not standard, this is a heavy training session.”

    Wei Zhi stretched and smiled even louder: “The more you hide it, the more obvious it becomes. He must have said something to embarrass you!”

    Zhuang Qian glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, “That dog alpha asked me to have sex!”

    “Hahahaha…” Wei Zhi laughed so hard that he almost slid off the equipment without holding on, “I forgot to tell you, not only does he have no taboo on men and women, he doesn’t even taboo on AO. He has chased Omega bartenders and Alpha racers before…”

    After the rehabilitation, Wei Zhi picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The towel still smelled like Cheng Cheng’s sun.

    He stopped Zhuang Qian who was about to open the door: “Don’t leave yet, I’ll show you something.”

    He wheeled his wheelchair and went to the study. When he came back, he held a stack of neatly bound documents and handed them to Zhuang Qian: “The last time I was hospitalized during my susceptible period, the old chief doctor recommended a friend of his who is an expert in neurological treatment. He recently did research on neurological paralysis abroad and invited me to join the project.”

    He paused and added, “I asked the people under me to review it. There is nothing wrong with the resume. You and Dr. Qin’s team will do an evaluation together.”

    Zhuang Qian frowned and opened the information. When he saw this person’s name, he shouted in shock: “The person he recommended to you is Mu Shiyue?! You are crazy. He has been involved in human experiments with ethical issues before!”

    Wei Zhi nodded and rubbed the armrests of the wheelchair with his fingertips: “I know, but opportunities coexist with risks. If the safety assessment results meet the standards, I will not give up this opportunity.”

    Everyone in business understands this truth, but Zhuang Qian does not. She flipped through the information page by page, her brows furrowed enough to kill a fly: “If my mentor knew about it, he would definitely not agree to your joining this project.”

    “But now it’s not your tutor who evaluates me, but you.” Wei Zhi looked at Zhuang Qian calmly, “I didn’t hire your tutor to be my rehabilitation therapist at that time.”

    Zhuang Qian looked up at him and saw the desperate determination in his eyes.

    She seemed to know something. This Alpha was not afraid of anything, except that he was afraid that he would not be able to live well until old age, and that he would not be able to give Cheng Cheng a complete future.

    She was silent for a few seconds, with complex emotions surging in her eyes, and finally nodded: “Okay, I will evaluate it carefully with Dr. Qin’s team.”

    On the other side, in the food stalls of the night market, greasy smoke from fireworks floated in the air.

    Cheng Cheng took a sip of the beer in front of him and looked helplessly at He Rui, who was holding one of his arms and crying.

    Cheng Cheng filled his cup and comforted him: “Secretary He, drink some to make up for your tears.”

    He Rui once again drank all the beer in the quilt. He had drunk too much, his neck and face were red, and his tongue was enlarged.

    “Xiao Cheng, you, you say, is this my fault? I’ve tried my best to get over it! I’m just very busy at work, and there’s nothing I can do about it… The boss also offers me a very high salary… No, I can’t, while squandering the money I earned from my work, she’s asking me to spend more time with her… Wuwuwu…” After saying that, he wiped away his tears and burped.

    Cheng Cheng patted his shoulder and sighed: “She is your girlfriend, and I definitely hope you will spend more time with her, especially when she needs you.”

    He Rui suddenly raised his head, his eyes red from crying: “I have told her the nature of my work a long time ago! She knows…”

    “Well, maybe she knew and accepted it are two different things. She originally thought she could tolerate your work, but the reality is very complicated,” Cheng Cheng tried hard to analyze. “The car accident may have been the last straw that broke the camel’s back. You said that you had mentioned several times before that you would take her to practice driving, but failed to fulfill it once. This means that many similar things must have happened. She has accumulated enough disappointment and is about to leave.”

    He Rui’s eyes widened, he wiped away his tears and said loudly: “Xiao Cheng! Are you her friend or mine?”

    Cheng Cheng quickly covered his mouth. At the table next to them was the elder brother with tattoos on his arms. He looked very irritating and looked over with dissatisfaction.

    “Of course I’m your friend! Your ex-girlfriend must be at fault too. Since she’s dissatisfied with your work arrangement, she should have had a frank chat with you as soon as she felt uncomfortable instead of delaying it until now.”

    “Yes, wow…what should I do if she leaves like this…” He Rui’s mood collapsed again, and he lay on the table sobbing.

    Cheng Cheng refilled the wine for him: “Let’s get drunk today, spit out all the unhappiness, and get up and start again tomorrow!”

    He Rui suddenly raised his head and picked up the bottle of wine: “Yes! Frustrated in love and proud at work! I want to work hard!”

    Cheng Cheng looked at his high-spirited look and sincerely lamented that Wei Zhi had hired a good employee.

    Most of the time, he watched while He Rui drank. The two of them chatted until almost ten o’clock or almost eleven o’clock. He felt that he had to go back, so he called a taxi to take He Rui back first.

    When He Rui got out of the rental car, he kept complaining to Cheng Cheng and was extremely drunk.

    Cheng Cheng went to great lengths to drag him to the gate of the community and asked him what building he lived in and what time it was. He Rui was already unconscious and couldn’t wake him up no matter how he screamed.

    He had no choice but to call Wei Zhi.

    “Brother Wei, it’s me. Do you know the specific address of Secretary He’s home? We are at the gate of his community now. He is too drunk to ask anything.” Cheng Cheng put He Rui on the bench in the community with difficulty and let out a long sigh of relief.

    Wei Zhi felt uncomfortable because Cheng Cheng was too responsible. He drank with others to relieve his boredom and even sent him home.

    He is like a happy golden retriever who can happily make friends with others as long as they pet his head.

    Listening to the long silence there, Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but ask: “Brother Wei? If you don’t know, I will open an hourly room nearby and send Secretary He there. It may be a little late to go back, so you should go to bed early.”

    Wei Zhi paused, sighed inwardly, and ran his fingertips across the information in his hand.

    “Room 403, Building 68, Street Center Garden, one time Xiao He came to pick me up, but he forgot to pick up the documents and took a detour to his house to get them. I remember.”

    “Brother Wei, you have such a good memory!” Cheng Cheng said in surprise. Looking at He Rui who was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt that he had taken advantage of him to have such a good boss.

    “Well, come back immediately after seeing him off. I’ll wait for you.” Wei Zhi warned.

    Cheng Cheng felt warm in his heart and quickly moved He Rui upstairs.

    He thought happily, it felt good to have someone waiting for him at home!

    Although his mother used to wait for him at home when he came home from school or part-time job, her mother felt as if her heart had died after she fell ill. She would not ask him why he came home late today like other parents, nor would she praise him for his intelligence and hard work when he ranked among the top five in the class.

    Once, he was blackmailed by the gangsters in his junior high school class. In his pocket was the subsidy just issued by the school, which provided for him and his mother to eat for a month. He was unwilling to hand over the money, so he had a fight with the gangsters.Fortunately, he defeated them, but his face and body were all bruised.

    When she got home, her mother saw the injuries on Cheng Cheng’s body and just glanced at them lightly before turning her head.He cried and told his mother that he was bullied and it hurt, but what he got in return was her mother’s hysteria.

    His mother said, “Are you comparing yourself to me? Do you know how much pain I have! How uncomfortable I am! Your father is gone and I am left alone! Tell me what should I do?” Cheng Cheng was so yelled at by his mother that he did not dare to move. He hugged his knees and huddled in the corner and sobbed.

    From then on, he would never complain to his mother again, nor would he ask her mother to provide emotional value like other parents.Because he knew that the softness and warmth in his mother’s heart had been completely wiped away by the torture of illness and his father’s departure.

    When He Rui was settled and returned home, it was almost twelve o’clock.

    There was a night light in the living room, the light in the study was still on, and Wei Zhi was still working on it.

    Cheng Cheng changed his shoes and walked into the study. The first thing he saw was a plate of peeled grapefruits on the table. The pulp was crystal clear and arranged neatly. It was about half a grapefruit.

    Wei Zhi was sitting at his desk reading documents. When he heard the noise, he went downstairs and looked at Cheng Cheng with a smile in his eyes: “You’re back? Not long after you peeled the grapefruit.”

    The feeling of happiness was like warm water from a thermos bottle pouring into Cheng Cheng’s body, warming him from his heart to his limbs.His eyes and cheeks were smiling, but a little tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. It was a complicated mood of joy and sadness.

    Wei Zhi is the first and only person in the world who can peel grapefruits for him, and he is also the person he has decided to spend his life with.

    Cheng Cheng took a bath and washed away the smell of alcohol from his body.

    He sat at the table, picked up a fork, pierced a piece of grapefruit and put it into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste spread on the tip of his tongue, with a slight bitter taste.

    The top note is fresh and sweet, the middle note is the slight bitterness of the fruit pulp, and finally the sweetness slowly comes up, washing away the bitterness.

    After finishing the grapefruit, he packed the remaining boxes. He hesitated for a few seconds before taking the things Wei Zhi had given him from the bedside table. Since Wei Zhi wanted to do so, it was not impossible for him to do so.

    Next to the small box there is an even smaller velvet box, inside is the ring he bought secretly!

    Although it was just a pair of simple hoops, the sense of ceremony was essential. Cheng Chengdu even wanted to ask if he could retake the photo on the wedding certificate.

    At that time, he was still being pushed to the stage. Not only did he feel embarrassed, but his smile and body movements were very stiff. If he were to film it again now, it would definitely be very different.
