Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (25)
Chapter 25 Moving out
After the dinner, Li Mo and Ji Qin took a taxi back to the villa. Zhou Shuo, the only one who had not drank, was responsible for sending Song Yan, his wife and Xia Liang home first.
Seeing that there was no one else in the car, Song Yan said to Xia Liang in the passenger seat: “Brother Liang, you and Zhou Shuo should move out.”
Xia Liang looked back at Song Yan in surprise: “Why?”
”It’s not that I don’t respect the elderly and love the young. It’s just… living with the elderly is too harmful to my health.”
Xia Lin gave him an elbow secretly: “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Xia Liang asked: “What’s going on?”
Xia Lin wanted to stop Song Yan from talking, but Song Yan seemed to have drunk too much and couldn’t stop her at all: “Xia Lin and I are going back to the Netherlands to work on evidence. After all, it’s half a honeymoon. Dad and grandma Just follow along, but there is no need to stay together 24 hours a day. Even if you stay in a hotel, you have to live in the next room. The sound insulation effect of the hotel is very poor. Xia Lin is afraid that his grandma will hear something she shouldn’t hear and affect the elderly. He didn’t let me touch him. I haven’t been on my honeymoon for more than half a month. It’s like I’ve been living as an ascetic!”
Xia Lin couldn’t laugh or cry after hearing this: “You can’t stand it for half a month. How did you live in the past so many years? Did you often go out to hunt game?
”No, no,” Song Yan quickly shook his head in denial, “I am a picky person, it’s not because my family is not used to eating…”
Seeing the two of them flirting in front of others, Xia Liang couldn’t help but joked: “You two, you will die quickly if you show affection, you know?”
Song Yan said with a smile: “Brother Liang, a show of affection must also be shown to singles. Do we have singles here?”
Xia Lin suddenly gave him another elbow and put it on Song Yan’s chest, causing him to immediately silence in pain.
However, Xia Liang had already thought about Song Yan’s intention of asking him to move out. He couldn’t help but subconsciously glanced at Zhou Shuo in the driver’s seat, and Zhou Shuo also happened to look towards him. The two people’s eyes made contact, and they both avoided it unnaturally.
There was an awkward silence in the car for a while.
Xia Lin originally wanted to ask his brother indirectly what stage of development the two of them had reached, but because Song Yan was drunk and reckless, he dropped the topic straight to the point. After thinking about it for a while, he simply followed Song Yan’s direction. Yan’s topic continued: “Brother, actually I also want to ask, you and Zhou Shuo… what are your plans now? Although Song Yan was just talking nonsense after drinking, it makes sense if he thinks about it carefully. , Song Yan and I held a banquet openly and openly, but we still had many scruples in front of the elderly. What’s more, you, Zhou Shuo, dad and grandma didn’t even know that the four of them lived under the same roof. It was impossible to cover up. .”
Xia Liang thought of the tragic situation in which Zhou Shuo couldn’t even pour ice water on him when he launched a sexual intercourse, and he had to admit in his heart that Xia Lin’s words made sense.
Xia Lin paused, and when Xia Liang didn’t speak, he asked, “Brother, are you planning to leave the closet with your family?”
Xia Liang immediately denied: “I’m not gay, why should I come out?” Then he realized that these words were a bit hurtful, and softened his tone and said, “What’s more, your previous coming out was not acceptable to your father and grandma. It’s easy, but we also need to be considerate of their elders, and we can’t cause trouble for them again and again just because they compromised once.”
After hearing this, Xia Lin felt a little guilty, and felt that Xia Liang’s burden was too heavy, so he couldn’t help but said, “Then you plan to hide it from them for the rest of your life?”
”It may not be a lifetime thing,” Xia Liang said calmly, “I asked Du Lanze, and he said that they are currently developing long-term effective pheromone inhibitors. With luck, they will be able to develop them within a few years. Release the first batch of experimental drugs.”
Xia Lin was startled: “You mean, you want to be their test subject?”
”It’s just mutual benefit.” Xia Liang said, “They give me medicine and I serve as their observation object.”
”No!” Xia Lin said forcefully, “Brother, you are joking about your body, do you understand?!”
Even Zhou Shuo, who was driving beside him, couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at Xia Liang in disbelief.
Xia Liang smiled self-deprecatingly: “Since the genetic mapping happened, I have gradually looked down on many things. The worst thing in life is death. Rather than being controlled by this inexplicable pheromone for a lifetime, I would rather take risks.”
Zhou Shuo suddenly braked and turned to look at Xia Liang. The expression on his face was unclear whether he was shocked or angry: “Brother Liang, you are so disgusting…”
He paused in the second half of the sentence and did not say any more.
Xia Liang was silent for a moment and said, “I don’t care about people, so don’t misunderstand me.”
Xia Lin saw Zhou Shuo’s feelings for Xia Liang a few years ago. He was afraid that Zhou Shuo would lose control of his emotions when he got excited, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said, “This matter should be discussed in the long run. I think your top priority is to find a reason to leave the old house first.” Move out.”
Xia Liang turned her face to look out the window at the dark night, and sighed: “How can we just move? The elders in the family are not fools.”
”I have a way.” Song Yan stopped suddenly and sobered up a little, and her mind became clearer. “I said before about investing in TV dramas, but I am serious about it. We not only want to invest in TV dramas, we also plan to create Exclusive film and television base. Now that this plan has passed the company’s internal review, we will select a location in D City. If Brother Liang is interested in joining, I can hand over this project to your Xia family to take the lead. Come, Brother Liang and Zhou Shuo can temporarily move to D city in the name of work.”
After he said this, the three of them looked at Xia Liang, waiting for him to express his position.
Xia Liang thought for a long time, sighed, and compromised: “This is the only way.”
The car arrived at the place where Song Yan and the others lived. Xia Lin was about to get out of the car when Xia Liang suddenly stopped him and asked, “How did you and Du Lanze meet in the first place?”
Xia Lin didn’t expect that Xia Liang would suddenly think of asking about this matter. Based on the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, he lied randomly: “It was probably a few years ago. One time my colleagues and I went to their bar for a drink. I accidentally discovered that Du Lanze’s identity seemed a bit special. Du Lanze is a person I know quite well, and we became friends as soon as we went back and forth.”
Xia Liang narrowed his eyes, and his intuition told him that Xia Lin didn’t tell him the truth.
Based on his temper, he originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but then he thought about it, maybe as Du Lanze said, this matter involves Xia Lin’s privacy.
He turned over the words in his mouth, and finally swallowed them back, waving his hands and saying: “Okay, you guys go back and rest early.”
