The Wei family's affairs were not going well recently, as if there was an invisible big hand manipulating them in the dark. Ever since Old Wei suffered a stroke, officials of the Wei family were suppressed or transferred in succession. It was not obvious at first. After all, they had all kinds of complicated relationships and it was normal for one or two of their footholds to be unstable. However, with the change in leadership, actions targeting the Wei family become even more frequent, practically touching the core of the Wei family's wealth and power.
经过多方调查, 尉家的几位政敌似乎都参与其中。直到新一届军委主席上任,尉家在竞逐中落败, 矛盾终于被激发,各方势力开始明争暗斗。不过,尉勋的事业并没有受到什么影响,反而因为智能的研发备受瞩目,给尉家带来了正面的舆论导向。但是, 尚可的存在对尉兴业以及大部分尉家人而言,依然是如鲠在噎。
After many investigations, it appeared as if the Wei family's political opponents were involved. Until the new chairman of the Military Commission took office, the Wei family was defeated in the competition. Conflicting views were set off, and the various forces began to fight openly and secretly. However, Wei Xun's career has not been affected in any way. Because the research and development of intelligence attracted much attention, positive public opinion was brought to the Wei family. However, to Wei Xingye and the majority of the Wei family, Shang Ke's existence was still like a piece of fish bone choking them.
"看好你手上的文件。"尚可某天突然收到这样一条匿名短信。
"Keep an eye on the documents you have." Shang Ke suddenly received this anonymous text message one day.
所谓的"文件"自然就是尚可当初用来威胁尉兴业的材料。尉兴业一直没忘记这枚定时炸弹,虽有心拔除, 却被尉勋死死拦着。尚可掌握的技术, 确实对尉家很有利,但他和尉勋的关系,又会给尉家带来极大的负面影响。如果让尉兴业选择,他宁愿毁掉这种技术,也不希望一段见不得光的关系成为尉家的污点
The so-called "documents" are naturally the materials that Shang Ke originally used to threaten Wei Xingye. Wei Xingye has never forgotten this time bomb. Although he intended to remove it, Wei Xun unwaveringly obstructed him. The technology that Shang Ke controlled was indeed very advantageous to the Wei family, but his relationship with Wei Xun will also bring an extremely negative impact on the Wei family. If Wei Xingye could choose, he would rather destroy this kind of technology and hope that the sordid relationship won't become a stain on the Wei family.
尉勋的母亲宋觅珍隔三差五就催尉勋结婚,而且经常将王沁雅带在身边,以尉家准媳妇的身份。王沁雅也不是一个省油的灯,私底下有意无意地抹黑尚可,将他说成故意勾引尉勋的gay。而尉勋之所以和他交往密切,主要是看中他在智能方面的能力,尚可完全是单方面的倒贴。
Wei Xun's mother Song Mizhen urged Wei Xun to get married every few days. Furthermore, she often brought Wang Qinya along by her side with the status of the daughter-in-law-to-be of the Wei family. Wang Qinya wasn't easy to deal with either, she intentionally smeared Shang Ke's name in private, explaining him as a gay who deliberately seduced Wei Xun. The reason why Wei Xun had a close relationship with him was mainly because he liked his intellectual abilities in the field, and Shang Ke was completely and one-sidedly sticking to him.
对于这种说法,大部分人都是相信的。因为尉勋从小到大都没有和哪个同性暧昧过,尚可却不同,十几岁父母双亡,一直寄居在戚家。戚辰可是有名的花花公子,若不是跟尚可有一腿,以他的性格,又怎么会那么好心资助一个非亲非故的孤儿?
Most people believed this. Because Wei Xun never had any ambiguous gay relationships from childhood to adulthood, Shang Ke would be no different. He had lost both parents when he was a child, and has been living at the Qi family's house. Qi Chen was a famous playboy. If he hadn't had an affair with Shang Ke, with his nature, how could he be so kind to financially support a completely unrelated orphan?
为了证明八卦的可信度,有好事者在朋友圈发布了戚辰和尚可的照片,其中不仅有两人从小到大的亲密合照,还包括戚辰私藏的尚可表情包,零零总总数百张,任谁看了都很难相信他们只是普通的朋友。
In order to prove the gossip's reliability, some busybodies posted photos of Qi Chen and Shang Ke on WeChat, not only including close photos of the two from childhood to adulthood, but also Qi Chen's private collection of Shang Ke's emoji pack. There were a hundred or so, and no matter who was looking, none can believe that they are just ordinary friends.
某些阴谋论大叹尚可手段高超,走投无路时傍上戚辰,发家致富时勾搭尉勋,简直就是欢场上的人生玩家。
Some conspiratests sighed over Shang Ke's excellent strategy. When desperate, he approached Qi Chen, and when rich, he looked up with Wei Xun. He really was a great player in life.
戚辰看着这些照片,心情十分复杂。相处十几年,他竟然一直没发现自己对尚可的感情。若非恢复记忆,他恐怕还像傻子一样,一边欢快地围着尚可转,一边满世界寻找真爱。
Qi Chen looked at these photos with very mixed feelings. For over ten years of getting along with him, he unexpectedly didn't discover his affection for Shang Ke. Were it not for his memory being restored, he was afraid he would still be like a fool, on one hand, circling cheerfully around Shang Ke, and on the other, searching everywhere for his true love.
明明只要踏出一步,就能让尚可成为自己的爱人。以两人青梅竹马的关系以及尚可温润的性格,他绝对不会拒绝自己的追求。但他偏偏错失良机,眼睁睁看着唾手可得的幸福被那个男人夺走!
He only had to take that one step, and Shang Ke would have become his lover. With their relationship as two childhood sweethearts, and with Shang Ke's gentle character, he would absolutely not reject his pursuit. However, as it happened, he missed his opportunity and can only look on helplessly as his easily obtained happiness was snatched away by that man!
戚辰不甘心,恨不得让时间倒流。
Qi Chen was unwilling. He hated that time couldn't flow backwards.
等等,让时间倒流?戚辰眼中闪过一抹精光。此事未必不可行!如今轮回灯在他手上,只要这一世的尚可和尉勋死亡,他立刻就能启动轮回灯,将时间回溯到十年前。那时的尚可孤立无援,自己是他唯一的依靠,而尉勋只是一个无关紧要的陌生人。
Wait, let time flow backwards? A gleam of light flashed in Qi Chen's eyes. It might not be impossible! Now that the Reincarnation Lamp was in his hands, as long as this world's Shang Ke and Wei Xun dies, he could just activate the lamp immediately and go back ten years. At that time, Shang Ke was isolated and helpless. He would be his only support, and Wei Xun would only be an insignificant stranger.
凡人的性命对于拥有勿独记忆的戚辰而言,根本无足轻重。跃跃欲试的戚辰,并没有注意手心那颗痣隐隐闪动了一下。
The life of a mortal was simply insignificant to Qi Chen, who had Wu Du's memories. He was eager to give it a try, but did not notice the faint flash of the mole in his palm.
