DYP 86

Chapter 86 – Maggie’s Gift

 

After school in the afternoon, Luo Xingyun and Pei Yan went to ward 1153 to present flowers, and then pretended to leave in front of the hospital because they had something to do: “Ah… my brother asked me to help him read a contract. Let’s have dinner together some other time~”

 

Pei Yan didn’t hold back: “I also have something to do and I have to go back to school – should I take you back first?”

 

Luo Xingyun waved his hands quickly: “No, no, no, no!”

 

Pei Yan opened the Bentley and locked him in: “Then send me a message when you get home.”

 

Luo Xingyun: “Okay!”

 

When Pei Yan disappeared at the corner of the street, Luo Xingyun patted the back of Old Song’s seat: “Uncle, please stop here. I will go to the opposite direction.”

 

Old Song glanced at him in the rearview mirror, with the insight of someone who had experienced it.

 

Luo Xingyun put his palms together and bowed carefully: “I want to buy a gift for classmate Pei, please don’t tell him!”

 

Old Song’s eyes became sharper.

 

Luo Xingyun kept up his efforts: “I am not alone, my little friends are right across the way! Look!”

 

In the cold wind, Huo Siming, Qi Yu, and Zhang Liang put their hands in their pockets and jumped under the overpass.

 

Only then did Old Song make an OK gesture with a serious face and unlock the car: “I’m going to go for a walk outside. You come out and call me.”

 

Luo Xingyun hurriedly agreed. He pushed open the door and went out to meet the introverted group, but was unanimously spurned by his friends: “You asked us to wait here after school, but we ended up riding bicycles in the cold wind while you took a Bentley.”

 

Luo Xingyun patted his pocket: “Don’t cry. Dad will invite you to watch a movie later.”

 

Huo Siming: “You dare to call yourself dad and only compensate us with a movie? Sure enough, men become bad when they have money.”

 

However, Qi Yu didn’t live up to expectations: “Dad, I still want to play video games!”

 

Luo Xingyun: “Okay, okay! You can even buy a toy!”

 

Huo Siming, Qi Yu, and Zhang Liang’s eyes lit up: “Thank you, grandpa!”

 

Luo Xingyun exchanged a handful of game coins for them and caught Huo Siming, who was in a hurry to catch the toy: “Old Huo, you have a mission today – help me choose a lens that is particularly good at taking portraits.”

 

He had been thinking about it for a long time. In addition to reading Qidian Wen, Pei Yan also liked to take secret photos of him, so he should buy him lens to show that he was a generous boyfriend and wanted to support Old Pei’s career.

 

Huo Siming was feeling sour: “Are you going to use the scholarship to buy lenses for the monitor?”

 

“Pattoni.” Luo Xingyun corrected, “It is to buy lens for Pattoni.”

 

Huo Siming couldn’t believe his ears: “He made it public under the flag today, and you’re still saying such nonsense to me?!”

 

Luo Xingyun: “…”

 

“No wonder you invited us out to play today.” Huo Siming pointed an index finger straight at his conscience, “You want to give him a surprise and yet, you haven’t even bought me a single figure.”

 

Luo Xingyun: “I am an omega now. If I buy you a figure, that will cause a big problem! My Pattoni is very fierce.”

 

As soon as he mentioned the word “very fierce”, Huo Siming recalled the fear of being controlled by the class monitor’s pheromones. He didn’t dare to pick wool over Old Luo anymore, and quickly led him to the counter and introduced them one by one: “The better one for taking portraits is 50nm fixed focus. Lenses are relatively cheap compared to zoom lenses. You can buy Sony for two to three thousand…”

 

Luo Xingyun shook his head: “It’s too cheap.”

 

Huo Siming: “?”

 

Huo Siming: “Damn, two or three thousand are cheap! How many scholarships did you get with such a big talk?”

 

Luo Xingyun shrewdly covered his small wallet: “I have no money.”

 

Huo Siming was enlightened: “Then let me ask you, how much budget have you prepared?”

 

Luo Xingyun: “…twenty thousand.”

 

Because of changes in circumstances, he divided the scholarship from the original three equal parts to four equal parts. With so many scholarships, he could spend so much on Pei Yan. He shouldn’t have a penny less!

 

Huo Siming cried when he heard it.

 

Although his family was well off, he couldn’t possibly spend so much money on a lens.

 

No, he doesn’t have that much money at all!

 

He suddenly felt that the old Luo in front of him was more handsome, as if he was not so straight after all…

 

However, when he thought about the class monitor’s A value of 150, he gave up the idea of ​​picking up Old Luo, and finally helped Luo Xingyun choose a set of Zeiss lenses. The full-frame 50nm, 1.4 aperture fixed-focus lens alone costs more than 8,000. It can be called the head of his dream. When Huo Siming took the carton and handed it to Luo Xingyun, he hugged it reluctantly for a few minutes. There is a painful feeling of sending his wife to someone else’s bed.

 

Luo Xingyun didn’t think it was enough: “Old Huo, help me pick out some more fashion clothes.”

 

Huo Siming was already numb from eating dog food: “Not only do you want to surprise him, you also want to surprise him by dressing up as a little bitch. Luo Xingyun, you have changed. Isn’t it good to wear a plaid shirt?”

 

“Luo Shen, I heard you discussing fashion with Old Huo.” Qi Yu suddenly appeared behind them, carrying five or six toys with an ugly face as if he was trying to catch someone, “I am the fashion director of our group, please respect me. Just a moment, thank you.”

 

“Haha.” Huo Siming stretched out his orchid finger to hook his hair with it and made a flirtatious pose. 

As a true omega, Luo Xingyun not only couldn’t understand their arrogance, but also fanned the flames: “Well, each of you will help me match a set. You only have 20 minutes to do so. Prove to me that your time has come!”

 

Huo Siming and Qi Yu ran out at the same time.

 

Luo Xingyun watched them go away happily and clapped his hands in success – he hated shopping for clothes the most.

 

He took out the memo and walked into the musical instrument store next door, looking for the guitar that Luo Feng was longing for.

 

At the same time, the classroom of Class 1, Grade 2, Chengnan.

 

It was dinner time and there was no one in the classroom.

 

“What is this, what the hell is this.” Hewanglan looked at the drones, SLRs, graphics cards, and various lenses in front of him, his hands covered with plaster trembling slightly.

 

“Money has been a bit tight lately.” Pei Yan casually moved all the inventory out and piled it on the desk in front of him.

 

Electronic products are neatly packaged in paper boxes and look as neat as new.

 

The alpha put his slender arms on the table and said earnestly and sincerely to the school bully’s ideological work: “You have basically said goodbye to your career as a school bully. Are you interested in exploring other hobbies, such as photography and programming? I also rented a server. I’ll pass it on to you at 30% off.”

 

“When did I say goodbye to my career as a school bully? Why didn’t I know? What the hell are you talking about?”

 

Pei Yan narrowed his dark eyes: “I’m a little short of money recently, and I’m anxious to get my health back.”

 

His long fingers ran across the cold and smooth packaging box with nostalgia: “These are my favorite things, and the prices are not low. Classmate He, you are the richest young master in our school, do you want to pick a few? Please help me.”

 

Hewanglan held his phone tightly and shrank back with goosebumps all over his body and disgust written all over his face: “Old dog Pei, you are a big-tailed wolf, why are you pretending to be an innocent high school boy here?”

 

Although he dreamed that Pei Yan would bow to him, on this day, Hewanglan felt that he was going to be molested to death by him.

 

Hearing what he said, Pei Yan’s crouching expression on his face subsided, and he curled up the corners of his mouth, smiling a little evilly.

 

He pressed the table with one hand: “You are not…like me, you have no money, are you?”

 

Hewanglan: “…”

 

Hewanglan put his legs on the table lawlessly and sneered: “Old dog Pei, I warn you not to go too far. I am already a mature school bully and your provocation is of no use to me. You want to provoke me, I’ll give it a try in my next life.”

 

Pei Yan pulled out a bright red “Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China” from the pile of paper boxes and placed it in front of him.

 

Pei Yan: “If you want them all, I’ll treat this as a gift to you.”

 

Hewanglan froze, recalling the once vivid Jiang Yixun and the fear of being dominated by Pei Laogou and Luoyin.

 

He coughed twice and said, “Keep your things and get out.”

 

Pei Yan turned and left.

 

As soon as he stepped out of the classroom, there was a ding from his cell phone.

 

[Transfer to Alipay account]

 

[Hewanglan has successfully transferred  money to you]

 

Pei Yan opened the webpage and placed an order for a rat cage.

 

Luo Xingyun finished perming his hair and came back from Wanda carrying large and small bags with brisk steps.

 

Neither Huo Siming nor Qi Yu had any talent for fashion, but Zhang Liang was inexplicably good at dressing and matched him with a few interesting outfits.

 

But the price was also scary, costing him almost 10,000 yuan.

 

He had never gone to a counter to buy clothes. He usually picked out clothes in supermarkets. For the first time, he experienced the horror of brand premiums and deeply lamented consumerism. If he wore it himself, he would never spend money or energy on it in his life.

 

However, he doesn’t need it, someone needs it very much…

 

He opened the door to his house with large and small bags hanging on his arms: “I’m back!”

 

Luo Feng came over to help him unload the goods: “Why is it so heavy? – Damn it!”

 

He took off the piano case: “Cherry red big G?! You really bought it!”

 

Luo Xingyun nodded proudly: “Hmm~”

 

Luo Feng picked it up and slipped away, intoxicated by the sound: “How many scholarships have you received? Such a huge amount of money.”

 

The whole family is like this, and they bought him a big g…

 

“Don’t think about the money. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools!”

 

Luo Feng wiped his sore eyes: “Didn’t I tell you to save to study abroad?”

 

Luo Xingyun waved his hand: “I also said, I could study abroad with full scholarship~”

 

Luo Feng’s chest felt tight. In order to distract himself from the overflowing emotions, he pretended that nothing happened and pulled out his plastic bag: “What else did you buy?”

 

“Pei Yan’s birthday is coming soon.” Luo Xingyun said briskly, “He likes to take pictures, and I bought him a set of lenses suitable for taking portraits.”

 

Luo Feng’s face was unusually solemn: “I just received a warning from the mental health center.”

 

Because he is an isolation target, if Pei Yan behaves dangerously, Luo Feng, as the guardian, will receive an alert in advance.

 

The packaging bag in Luo Xingyun’s hand fell to the ground with a bang: “What happened to him?”

 

“The Mental Health Center alerted… that he had recently rented a warehouse.”

 

Luo Xingyun waited quietly, but Luo Feng stopped, and the two of them stared at each other.

 

“That’s it?” Luo Xingyun’s big eyes were filled with confusion.

 

“Isn’t this enough?” Luo Feng lowered his voice, as if there was a bug set by Pei Yan nearby, “The warehouse is deserted.”

 

Just as Luo Xingyun was about to retort, Luo Feng cut him off like a barrage of words: “I know, I know he just canceled his suspected criminal record, and he also protected you very bravely. I don’t want this to happen either. But what normal high school student would rent a warehouse? What is the warehouse used for?”

 

Luo Xingyun thought for a while: “Put something away?”

 

“That’s to lock you up!” Luo Feng pressed Luo Xingyun’s shoulders and shook him hard to wake him up. He didn’t understand why his little brother, who was so smart in other things, was so stupid when it comes to Pei Yan.

 

Luo Xingyun didn’t believe such nonsense at all, so he put on the hat that had just been hung on the hanger, turned around and walked out: “Wouldn’t you know what it is used for after just taking a look?”

 

Luo Feng sighed deeply and could only accompany him for one trip.

 

The address sent by the mental health center is not far away, since it is just two bus stops away. There used to be a building materials market nearby, and the surrounding areas were all warehouse districts. Now that the old district has undergone new planning, the building materials market has been demolished, and the warehouses have become idle. The once bustling neighborhood now looks like a ghost town.

 

Walking on the road passed by trucks, Luo Feng glanced at Luo Xingyun.

 

Luo Xingyun told the truth: “I think this place is suitable for dumping corpses, not suitable for imprisonment.”

 

Luo Feng quickly covered his mouth and begged him not to provide Pei Yan with new criminal ideas.

 

The two of them wandered around the warehouse area. They finally caught an old man to ask for directions and finally found the address. They secretly poked their heads, one high and one low, from behind a nearby telephone pole. Pei Yan was standing in front of the warehouse and talking to a truck driver. The truck driver handed the receipt form to Pei Yan, and behind him, two people wearing blue logistics uniforms moved a large cardboard box into the door.

 

“Is this a freezer?” Luo Feng also began to think that this place was suitable for hiding corpses.

 

“This is a liquid chromatograph.” Pei Yan handed back the receipt and looked at the place where the two were hiding. “Come out and check it.”

 

Luo Xingyun ran to him excitedly: “Why did he buy… Oh my god!”

 

He stepped into the warehouse door as if in a dream, his eyes sparkling: “You have set up a… laboratory!”

 

“Relatively simple.” Pei Yan walked to him and led the staff to install the liquid chromatograph, without any arrogance on his face.

 

The day Luo Xingyun told him that he wanted Kunming mice and E. coli, he took action.

 

He asked Luo Xingyun to list the equipment he needed and asked his mother if there was a biochemistry laboratory that could be opened to the public. After learning that it was a bit difficult as a high school student, he came up with the idea of ​​building one himself. It is not like there are no mobile laboratories abroad. 

 

The separate warehouse is far away from the crowd, large and cheap. After renting it, he worked non-stop to collect water and electricity, modify the fresh air, heating and disinfection systems, and contact the manufacturer to order instruments.

 

With his mother’s technical support, he can barely reach the SFP level.

 

“The conditions are a bit difficult, but most of your experiments can be done here. There are a few that really can’t be done. I also helped you contact the biochemistry laboratory. They will be relatively empty during the winter vacation.”

 

Luo Xingyun touched the microscope and then touched the glass reagent bottles. After the excitement passed, he turned to him and asked, “How much did it cost?”

 

Pei Yan blinked lightly: “Not much.”

 

Luo Xingyun didn’t believe his lies at all.

 

Engaging in scientific research is very, very, very expensive.

 

Even in a humble laboratory, the investment is daunting. Not to mention anything else, the chromatograph alone costs more than 200,000 yuan.

 

Pei Yan saw the child wilting and coaxed him gently: “When you grow up and become a mature scientist, you will learn to ask the country for funding. Now, you are still young, I will help you burn it for a while, okay?”

 

Luo Xingyun was originally quite proud that he finally did something for Pei Yan, but at this time he secretly turned his back and just wanted to hide his own camera.

 

The Alpha tilted his head: “What’s in your hand?”

 

Luo Xingyun glanced away: “No, it’s nothing.”

 

“It’s nothing, but you can’t show it to me?”

 

Luo Xingyun was dejected and awkwardly took out the heavy lens in his hand and handed it to him solemnly: “…it’s just a set of small lenses, I’d like to give  to you as a birthday present.”

 

“Zeiss lens? I really want it.” Pei Yan held the lens he treasured so much, weighed it in his hand, and said with emotion, “It’s just that I don’t have a camera now.”

 

Luo Xingyun suddenly raised his face, facing Pei Yan’s gentle face. His eyes drooped, and he almost cried.

 

At this moment, an arm hooked on Pei Yan’s shoulder: “You’ll have one.”

 

Luo Feng looked at the crying omega and the gentle and slightly frustrated little alpha. He then smiled heartily: “When I debut, I will buy you one. You can choose which model you want.”
