    Chapter 52 “I love you” can get a kiss Wei Zhi blow-dry…

    Wei Zhi blow-dried his hair, which still had a bit of cool moisture on the tips. He slowly rolled his wheelchair into the room and saw Cheng Cheng sitting on the bed, still studying, mumbling words in his mouth.

    He moved gently and climbed into bed quietly, holding Cheng Cheng’s warm arm with his cold fingers.

    “Xiao Cheng, it’s past twelve o’clock. Yesterday’s study task has been completed.” His voice was very soft, with the unique laziness of late at night.

    Cheng Cheng let him squeeze his arm without moving at all: “I still have a few words, you go to sleep first.”

    Wei Zhi grabbed the tension ring specially installed on the right side of the bedside and slowly stood up, his eyes falling on Cheng Cheng’s tense profile. There was an imperceptible contention in his tone: “There are only a few left. It’s the same when you get up during the day.”

    It was as if he was secretly competing with a few words to see who had a higher status in Cheng Cheng’s heart.

    Cheng Cheng finally put down his phone and sighed softly in his heart.

    He turned to look at Wei Zhi, with helplessness and pity in his eyes. He suddenly leaned forward and kissed Wei Zhi on his left cheek. The soft touch was fleeting.

    “Brother Wei, how about we come and have a chat.”

    Wei Zhi raised his hand to touch the kissed cheek. The tips of his ears turned crimson uncontrollably. He released the tension ring with his right hand and slid into bed again. His voice was slightly hoarse: “What do you want to talk about?”

    Cheng Cheng thought for a while and tentatively spoke: “Today someone from Tan Lou, representing the Omega Association, came and told me something. Is there any dispute between you and Shengxing Entertainment? Do you… want to take revenge on them?”

    He deliberately avoided the name of that scumbag director. Even though his heart was already in turmoil, he would never add salt to Wei Zhi’s old wounds.

    He didn’t want to take the initiative to ask about those dark pasts unless Wei Zhi was willing to expose them himself.

    Wei Zhi saw through the concerns and temptations in Cheng Cheng’s eyes at a glance, his heart sank slightly, and he subconsciously leaned towards him with a soothing tone.

    “Xiao Cheng, don’t believe a word of him. When I first debuted, Shengxing did offend me, but this matter is not worth my trouble to seek revenge.”

    After hearing this, Cheng Cheng’s heart became even higher.

    Wei Zhi’s deliberately evasive attitude made him more certain that Li Haitian’s story was most likely true.

    He took a deep breath, suppressed the tightness in his throat, and asked softly: “It’s the Li Haitian who was arrested recently. He offended you, right?”

    Wei Zhi’s heart sank heavily, and he tensed up instantly. His stomach churned uncontrollably, and the nauseating feeling came over him.

    What is he afraid of?

    He was afraid that Cheng Cheng would know those dirty details, that Cheng Cheng would feel contempt after seeing his “filthy” body, and even more afraid that the only person who had given him warmth would turn around and abandon him.The images of being controlled by drugs and being wantonly humiliated flashed back crazily in his mind, and he was almost shaking uncontrollably.

    Cheng Cheng also lay on the bed, put his arms around his shoulders, and comforted him in a trembling voice: “It’s okay, it’s all over, Brother Wei, it’s all over.”

    Wei Zhi slowly turned his head and looked into Cheng Cheng’s distressed eyes, which were filled with hot emotions and twinkling tears, without the slightest hint of disgust.

    Cheng Cheng suddenly remembered that Wei Zhi always liked to touch his head gently in the past, so he took the initiative to put his head close to his and coaxed in a low voice: “Brother Wei, please touch me, don’t think about those sad things.”

    Wei Zhiqiang suppressed the excitement and almost crazy love surging in his heart, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he restrainedly rubbed the top of Cheng Cheng’s soft hair. His voice was calm and deliberate: “Xiao Cheng, don’t worry, I’m fine.”

    He paused, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was filled with a lingering gloom: “If you want to hear it, I’ll tell you everything. There’s nothing glorious about it, they’re just dirty people who did some dirty things.”

    Cheng Cheng tightened his arms, hugged his waist, and rested his head tightly on his shoulder. When he raised his eyes, his eyes were full of sincerity: “Brother Wei, if those things happened to others, I don’t want to hear about it at all. But that is your experience and it is a part of you. I want to know you better and understand you completely.”

    He leaned close to Wei Zhi’s ear and said in a firm voice with a hint of coquettishness: “I want to know my husband better.”

    Wei Zhi’s body froze for a moment, and he silently turned his head to look at the ceiling. His palms were pressed tightly against Cheng Cheng’s hot lower back. The warmth spread from his palms to his whole body, gradually warming his frozen heart.

    He was silent for a long time before speaking slowly, his voice filled with fatigue from the past.

    “When I first debuted, I was traveling around with my manager Sister Zhang. I had no background and no resources, so I could only make a living by accepting scattered advertisements and commercial performances. That’s when Li Haitian appeared. He became famous in the 1990s and has made many good works. Regardless of his personality, his directing ability is indeed top-notch in the industry. He has already signed a lifetime contract with Shengxing Entertainment. As long as he wants to film, Shengxing will spend money unconditionally.”

    “He found me through Sister Zhang and wanted me to play the second male lead in his “Dragon Gate”. At that time, my salary was low and I was somewhat popular, so it was a win-win choice for him. But at a dinner, he revealed his dirty thoughts overtly and covertly, and Sister Zhang and I rejected his invitation on the spot.”

    “”At that time, he was in the limelight, and everyone in the circle supported him. There were countless young alphas who took the initiative to follow him, but he just focused on me, with an attitude of not giving up until he got me.”

    Wei Zhi’s eyelashes trembled violently, and his fingers tightly grasped Cheng Cheng’s hand, so hard that it was almost embedded in the other’s bones, as if he was trying to grab a life-saving straw, “Later, at a business dinner, he bribed the waiter to drug me.But he didn’t expect that the waiter got the wrong person, and the glass of spiked wine was drunk by another alpha brought by Sister Zhang.””

    Cheng Cheng’s heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the familiar yet distant look between Gan Chenchen and Wei Zhi, and asked softly: “Is it Gan Chenchen?”

    Wei Zhi pursed his lips and nodded, his voice low: “Gan Chenchen was led by the waiter and walked into the empty box he had arranged long ago.”

    “When I heard that Gan Chenchen left the table early, I realized that something was wrong. Fortunately, I was alert in advance. I had inquired about Li Haitian before coming to the dinner, and I quickly found Gan Chenchen in the closed box. But I didn’t realize that spices for fun were also lit in that room. The whole room was filled with that smell, and my susceptible period was aroused in advance.”

    Wei Zhi’s voice was unusually calm, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.

    “Soon, Li Haitian came. He came over and licked my face with his tongue. The touch made me feel sick. The alpha was already weak when he was forced to go into heat. I was almost swallowed by the power of the drugs and pheromones. There happened to be a wine glass on the table. I grabbed the glass and smashed it. I used sharp porcelain shards to scratch my wrists one after another. I kept awake through the severe pain – I can’t be destroyed by him, absolutely not.”

    “Finally, I used all my strength to insert the porcelain piece into Li Haitian’s carotid artery. I was saved, but those images and smells have never disappeared from my mind.”

    Cheng Cheng was already buried in Wei Zhi’s arms and burst into tears.

    It turned out that the scars on his wrists came from this, not from losing the will to live after being paralyzed, as he had guessed.

    Tears soaked Wei Zhi’s clothes, and Cheng Cheng’s shoulders shook violently.

    He couldn’t imagine the despair and struggle Wei Zhi went through before he managed to escape through self-mutilation.

    Wei Zhi stroked Cheng Cheng’s back. His whole body was stiff and numb, and the memories caused a stress reaction in his body.

    “Xiao Cheng, don’t be afraid, I’m fine.”

    Cheng Cheng felt the changes in Wei Zhi’s muscles and immediately raised his swollen eyes like walnuts: “Brother Wei, are you feeling uncomfortable? I’ll give you a massage.”

    Wei Zhi couldn’t help but chuckle. Cheng Chengdu was still thinking about massaging himself even though he was crying like that.

    He raised his arm: “Okay.”

    Cheng Cheng wiped away his tears, stood up and stood beside the bed, carefully pressing every inch of Wei Zhi’s muscles with gentle but serious force.

    He secretly swore in his heart that Wei Zhi had suffered too much in the past, and he would try his best to be kind to Wei Zhi in the future and block all those terrible pasts behind him.

    Wei Zhi looked at Cheng Cheng’s focused side face, and the emotions in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Love and care were intertwined. He couldn’t help but murmured, his voice as soft as a sigh: “Cheng Cheng, I love you…”

    Cheng Cheng was stunned. This seemed to be the first time that Wei Zhi said these three words so frankly. His face turned red.

    “Me too!” Cheng Cheng quickly approached Wei Zhi and kissed him on the lips.

    Wei Zhi reluctantly touched his lips, craving the fleeting softness and warmth.

    It turns out that if you take the initiative to say “I love you”, can you get a kiss?How much of this kind of tenderness had he missed before?

    He frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed and entangled.

    .

    The next day, Wei Zhi asked He Rui to apply for adoption again.

    On the other hand, at present, the cultural park creative planning project has a complete plan, and the planning part of the tender document has also taken shape.

    The most difficult part is the price, which requires accurate cost calculation and final quotation.

    Zhiyu Media does not have a dedicated team, only a temporarily formed “decision-making committee” composed of the creative director, technical director, marketing director, financial director, general project manager and a retired tender review expert as an external consultant. Wei Zhi is the final decision-maker.

    He sat in the main seat of the small conference room, his sharp eyes scanning everyone present, and he clearly knew that these people had their own plans in mind.

    The technical director insisted that the quotation cannot be lower than the cost line for fear of problems in subsequent construction.The financial director clings to the bottom line of profit and refuses to give in.The marketing director was worried that the price would be too high and he would miss out on the project, so he insisted on his own opinions and remained in a stalemate.

    Wei Zhi’s slender index finger tapped lightly on the table, and the tapping sound was particularly clear in the silent conference room.

    He was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, with an unmistakable tone: “Before Friday, everyone will give me a separate quotation and supporting PPT, and we will have a meeting to discuss it next Monday.”

    He paused and turned his attention to Consultant Huang in the corner: “Consultant Huang, do you have anything to say?”

    Consultant Huang, who was about seventy years old and thin, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and spoke slowly: “The higher-ups are paying close attention to the situation of each bidder. Yesterday I had tea with Director Zhang’s secretary, and he specifically mentioned, ‘The price should reflect sincerity, but it should not make it difficult for everyone.’ I think the focus of his words is on the second half of the sentence. At present, all walks of life are in recession, and the government is determined to support some small and medium-sized enterprises with potential. Our costs may not be too high.”

    Wei Zhi nodded slightly: “Everyone should take note of what Consultant Huang said. Is there anything else you want to ask?”

    Several directors looked at each other and did not dare to speak easily.

    They have been discussing the price for half a month, but Wei Zhi has never given a clear explanation. It is not sure whether he prefers to reduce costs or to increase profits.

    The financial director was under the greatest pressure. He hesitated for a moment and raised his hand despite everyone’s attention: “Mr. Wei, we want to hear your opinion. To be honest, we have never been involved in government projects before, and we lack experience, so we really can’t decide what to do.”

    Wei Zhi met his gaze and gently dropped the pen in his hand on the table with a crisp sound: “My opinion must be based on everyone’s professional calculations. At the same time, I also agree with Consultant Huang’s judgment that the government intends to support small entertainment companies like ours not only because of the economic environment, but more importantly, the new mayor mentioned it at the New Year’s party last year, hoping that the entertainment industry in Pujiang can flourish and break the pattern of one dominant company.”

    He leaned back in his chair, with a faint smile on his lips: “I hope everyone will stop staring at our own plan, and don’t blindly speculate on other companies’ quotes. You can browse more about new policies and new situations, which will help broaden your thinking.”

    Everyone nodded thoughtfully, but Consultant Huang frowned and fell into deep thought.

    “Okay, let’s break up the meeting.”

    After Wei Zhi announced the end, Secretary He stepped forward with great discernment and sent him out of the conference room.

    It was past twelve o’clock, and Cheng Cheng said yesterday that he would come to deliver food to him. Wei Zhi couldn’t help but keep looking at the door.

    There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Wei Zhi quickly looked away and calmly browsed the documents again.

    Before he could raise his head, a voice filled with anger and anxiety exploded: “Wei Zhi, why didn’t you tell me!”

    Ji Ziheng stood at the door, the collar of his coat was askew, and his hair was not pulled back. His usual well-dressed appearance was gone, and he looked embarrassed.

    He stared at Wei Zhi with burning eyes, slapped his hands heavily on the desk, leaned forward, and asked questions in his tone: “When did you decide? Do you really want to have the surgery? Did your little boyfriend just agree to it?”

    Wei Zhi frowned and his tone was distant: “Don’t get so close. Where did you hear this?”

    Ji Ziheng raised his upper body slightly unnaturally: “Zhuang Qian spilled the beans. But you hid it so well and didn’t tell me anything!”

    He stared: “It’s really dangerous. You’re doing surgery in a foreign country, lying on the operating table and having your organs removed and sold without even knowing it!”

    “Zi Heng, it’s not that exaggerated.” Wei Zhi calmly stepped back, distanced the two of them, and said in a calm tone, “I have already communicated with the authoritative doctors in K country, and they are absolutely sure. And I am not going now. I will most likely have to wait until summer or autumn.”

    “You…” Ji Ziheng pursed his dry lips, but still did not say anything, “Cheng Cheng agreed?”

    Wei Zhi raised his chin slightly, a softness flashed across his eyes, and his tone was firm: “Yes, he supports me.”

    Ji Ziheng sat down opposite Wei Zhi, a little downcast, and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

    He squeezed the mineral water bottle in his hand and made a popping sound.

    “Xiao Zhi, we weren’t like this before…” His voice was choked with subtle sobs.

    Wei Zhi clenched the armrests of his wheelchair so hard that his knuckles turned white. He remained silent and did not speak. He just listened quietly to what he said.

    “We used to talk about everything. When you encounter something, you will tell me immediately. It has never been like this now. You have Cheng Cheng, you have a new life, and I am the last one to know about such a major operation.” Ji Ziheng shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes full of loneliness, “Did the friendship between us really break up after the dean left?”

    Wei Zhi’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and his eyes drooped, hiding the complicated emotions in his eyes.

    “Ziheng, I don’t want to talk about that.”

    Ji Ziheng fell silent for a moment, and the office fell into dead silence, except for the heavy breathing of the two people.

    After a long time, he stood up suddenly and became excited: “Wei Zhi, I know! You are escaping! You want to get rid of everything in the past, so you avoid me and push me away too! But I tell you, you can’t escape, and none of us can escape the past!”

    Ji Ziheng’s voice was full of sorrow, and his smile was full of despair: “I used to think that after studying law, I would have the opportunity to make those people pay the price. But the deeper I get into this industry, the more I understand that there are not just one or two people like him, but a whole rotten circle! We can’t finish the fight, and we can’t win!”

    Wei Zhi’s face instantly turned cold, and cold alpha pheromone was released all over his body, with a silent warning and repelling, and his tone was cold and biting: “I told you, I don’t want to talk about this matter. Please leave immediately.”

    “No, Wei Zhi, you know, I like…” Just in the middle of Ji Ziheng’s words, the door of the office was gently pushed open with a creak.

    Cheng Cheng looked into half of his face, his eyes full of nervousness and embarrassment, he carefully held the insulated lunch box in his hand, and his voice was cautious.

    “Uh… I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just came to deliver food to Wei Zhi.” His eyes glanced back and forth between Wei Zhi and Ji Ziheng, aware of the tense atmosphere in the air, and he did not dare to step forward easily.
