The author has something to say: In Chapter 22, it has been added to connect the beginning of this chapter. It is recommended to read Chapter 22 first.

"Lao Yao didn't think about it anymore. I understood him and helped him. He was preparing to donate his legacy to a scientific research organization that studies quantum effects. It was a Chinese research laboratory. This research laboratory was accidentally exposed to because of work. Later I thought about it carefully and this matter was not impossible to operate, although it might not necessarily achieve his intentions..."

"Why?" Zhou Luoyang suddenly asked.

Du Jing was stunned, and Zhou Luoyang said as if no one was around: "Why did he leave without saying goodbye three years ago and join an intelligence company after leaving?"

When the restaurant was served, Le Yao was silently browsing his cell phone.

Du Jing was silent for a moment, and then said, "Are you sure you want me to say it?"

Zhou Luoyang wanted to say "confirm", but he said it to his mouth, but he didn't say it.

"You are such a person," Zhou Luoyang smiled sadly and said, "Do whatever you want. In the middle of the night, I suddenly had a whim to go outside and sit outside."

Du Jing said: "It's not considered that I have my own logic in doing things, but many times..."

Le Yao gently answered this sentence: "...On ordinary people can't understand it."

Du Jing nodded, raised his palm, patted Le Yao with him. Le Yao laughed and said, "Brother, I don't know what I think."

Du Jing: "But he always regards himself as meticulous and understanding."

"Hey!" Zhou Luoyang said, "What does this mean?"

The atmosphere became a little relaxed. Du Jing looked at Le Yao and cut the meat chops from the sea and land meal for him. Le Yao stared at the watch Zhou Luoyang gave him on Du Jing's wrist.

Du Jing also said: "During this, Changyi had a person in charge who met me through the research room. He happened to want to resign, so he recommended me to Li Liangyi and asked me if I was interested in coming back. The person who was looking for me happened to be Zhou."

"The surname is also Zhou?" Zhou Luoyang said.

"The surname is Zhou." Du Jing nodded and handed the plate to Le Yao.

"Is this the reason why you came back?" Le Yao asked with a smile.

Du Jing said: "It's one of them, mainly because I miss him." As he said that, he signaled to Le Yao, Zhou Luoyang sitting beside him.

"So I became a returning overseas star agent in the company." Zhou Luoyang said relievedly and made a little ridicule.

Du Jing didn't say anything, so he accepted it all.

Zhou Luoyang asked again: "What kind of company is Changyi?"

"The informal organization under the National Security Bureau," said Du Jing. "After a major, traumatic rectification in the middle, the situation has improved a lot now. The best thing about the domestic environment is safety."

Zhou Luoyang understood what he said that compared with the United States, Mexico and Europe, the domestic security environment is quite good. Although after the reform and opening up, there has been more infiltration and activities, the anti-espionage work in the mainland has been done very well. Partly because the domestic system is relatively perfect, and the other part is because China is full of yellow people, unlike other countries, there are a large number of immigrants.

"How long do you plan to do it?" Zhou Luoyang asked. This is his most concerned issue at this stage.

Du Jing said: "It depends on the situation. It requires money. Changyi's salary is still quite considerable, and there are not so many interpersonal relationships to deal with. I will do my business for them and they will pay me."

Le Yao asked: "Is it very dangerous?"

"Not dangerous," Du Jing said lightly, "risk and benefits coexist."

Le Yao seemed to want to ask, "Are you short of money?", but he held it back.

Zhou Luoyang did not ask any more questions and said easily: "I found a job and went for an interview the day after tomorrow."

Du Jing frowned slightly and said, "Are you sure? I still have money, I will give it to you."

Du Jing was about to touch his phone, but Zhou Luoyang said, "No." Then he smiled and said, "You have invited me to dinner."

Du Jing suddenly stopped moving, with a little strange in his eyes, staring at Zhou Luoyang. Zhou Luoyang thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to work first, let's talk about it if I can't."

Du Jing said: "Are you serious?"

Zhou Luoyang nodded.

Le Yao noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and said, "Where are you living in Wan City? Didn't you say you want to move to our house?"

Du Jing said nothing, Zhou Luoyang was a little depressed and thought that it must have started again.

"Don't feel comfortable?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

"No." Du Jing replied, "Eat it, and I'll take you back after the meal."

Le Yao looked at his brother in surprise, and Zhou Luoyang signaled to ask without asking. He had something to say to Du Jing, but he could only say it privately, and could not be sure whether this was a harsh word or not. Will it stimulate Du Jing?

The meal suddenly became cold. After the low pressure ended, Du Jing bought the order and sent the two brothers back. After opening the door, Du Jing did not follow him in and said to Zhou Luoyang outside the door: "Sorry, I hurt your self-esteem today."

"It's not like that." Zhou Luoyang finally waited for clarification and wanted to use this to say a few more words, but Du Jing said: "Accompany him more."

As he said that, he did not give Zhou Luoyang a chance to explain, he turned around and went downstairs.

Zhou Luoyang rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little distressed.

"Is he financially in trouble?" Le Yao moved freely, relied on his wheelchair and walked around the home.

Zhou Luoyang thought to himself: He is not in trouble, the reason why he makes money is that our economy is in trouble.

"Le Yao." Zhou Luoyang sat down on the sofa and signaled his younger brother to come over, wanting to talk to him well and massage his legs to prevent muscle atrophy.

Le Yao stopped moving, as if he had expected what his brother would say.

"Du Jing is my good friend." Zhou Luoyang said.

Le Yao said: "Brother, do you remember our appointment?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "I remember, but I still care about your thoughts because you are my younger brother."

After Leyao woke up in a car accident that day, the first thing he saw was his brother, and he quickly realized that all his relatives were gone.

Zhou Luoyang stayed with him in the ward until one day, when he pushed his younger brother out in a wheelchair. While walking in the garden of the University of Tokyo Affiliated Hospital, Le Yao asked him: "Will we live together in the future?"

"Well," Zhou Luoyang said, "Brother will take care of you. Mom and Dad are not leaving, and they will accompany you."

"Then you have to promise me something," Le Yao said with a smile, "I can only promise you."

"What?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

"Don't worry about me if you are with and what you want to do," Le Yao said.

Zhou Luoyang nodded without thinking, "I promised you, but you won't drag me down. Don't think so, Le Yao."

In the living room, the two brothers were relatively quiet.

Le Yao suddenly asked: "I'm just curious. Since you have such a good relationship, why did you separate three years ago?"

Zhou Luoyang searched for words with difficulty, not hoping to cause misunderstandings from his younger brother, and said, "I had a fight that year when Du Jing and I had a junior year. Maybe he realized that his condition was a bit serious, or he didn't want to destroy his beautiful relationship? In short, he left like this."

Le Yao said: "Did he notice it, afraid that you would like him? That's why he alienated you?"

Zhou Luoyang: “…”

You are really suitable to go to FBI. Zhou Luoyang thought to himself that this was once a heart disease between them, and Le Yao only observed that he and Du Jing were together three times before he discovered it.

Perhaps in that last period, Zhou Luoyang had already exceeded the limit of friendship. He felt it, so he tried hard to control himself and not think about that.

Du Jing also felt that their relationship began to become a little unnatural.

Zhou Luoyang himself couldn't tell whether it was love or getting used to each other and being like family members. In the end, he understood this relationship as an emotional illusion.

Zhou Luoyang: "But I don't. Do you think we look like gay lovers?"

Le Yao said: "You can see that you have a good relationship."

"That's because he has no one else to rely on," Zhou Luoyang said at the end, "emotional."

"What about you?" Le Yao asked, "We have been talking about him, what do you think?"

Zhou Luoyang did not answer, but was still thinking.

Le Yao smiled and said, "I will accept the person you accept. Brother, you don't have to care too much about me, just... I just think..."

Le Yao was also thinking about his words with difficulty, and his expression was exactly the same as Zhou Luoyang.

Zhou Luoyang looked at his younger brother in a mixed mood. They were different when they were born. Le Yao grew up in Japan and was deeply influenced by Japanese culture. The most deeply rooted point in Japanese culture education is:

Don't cause trouble.

The idea of ​​"sinciting oneself" is stubbornly rooted in everyone's heart, from Shinkansen to garbage sorting, everyone works hard to avoid causing trouble for others. Leyao is filled with Japanese blood, and the outside is also maintained with the politeness and politeness of the Japanese as respected each other.

"Just what?" Zhou Luoyang pressed his younger brother's calves with his palm and asked, "You can say whatever you want. Brother will not mind, we are family."

"Just..." Le Yao finally said, "Brother, have you been wronging yourself and living for others for many years?"

Zhou Luoyang looked at Le Yao in surprise, wondering why he said that.

Le Yao looked at his brother uneasy and said, "When you were studying, you had to take care of Du Jing; now you have to take care of me, it must be very hard, right? I mean, have you ever thought about what kind of person you really want to be if you don't have these ties and burdens?"

"No, no!" Zhou Luoyang explained immediately, and then he was a little amused and said, "How could you think so? I have never thought so before! Whether you or Du Jing, you are all very important people to me, and I don't think you are..."

Le Yao interrupted Zhou Luoyang: "Yes, you are just used to it, including grandpa's store. You always feel that you have a responsibility, 'what kind of person should be', but not 'what kind of person you want to be'..."

"No!" Zhou Luoyang said seriously, "Le Yao, I know very well what I want."

Le Yao looked at his brother quietly, Zhou Luoyang touched his head vigorously and said, "Everything I do is my own choice. There is no situation that is forced by anyone, I am willing to do it."

Le Yao said: "Okay, I just think that if there are two patients in the family to take care of, I'm afraid you will have a harder time."

"He doesn't always do this," Zhou Luoyang said a little guiltily, "Sometimes I can't help but think... forget it."

Le Yao said: "Are you afraid that you will bring him greater emotional fluctuations? But I think he is also very clear about this, but he still cannot do without you. You are indeed very important to him."

Zhou Luoyang has always felt guilty over the years. He sometimes recalled that it was because they had too deep feelings that Du Jing became more concerned about his words and deeds, which indirectly led to his condition worsening?

"Let him move here," Le Yao said, "I will get along well with him, not to mention that I was not at home very much. If you think he will not affect you, then of course it's best."

"Yeah." Zhou Luoyang nodded. Le Yao was obviously a little tired, so Zhou Luoyang pushed him back to his room.
