Chapter 155: I Am An Evil Pen (XII)

---

TL: Resonance

    “景戎，别摆着一张臭脸嘛，我难得到你家来做一次客。”葛俊轩舒坦地坐在沙发上，笑眯眯地望着对面的闻景戎。

“Jingrong, stop putting on that long face. I rarely come to your house as a guest.” Ge Junxuan sat comfortably on the sofa and looked at Wen Jingrong who was sitting opposite of him with a smile.

    闻景戎瞥了他一眼，没有说话。他不介意葛俊轩来做客，但他介意他身边的柏霖。此人与陈子雄的关系密切，又和葛俊轩暧昧不清，显然不是什么单纯的人。

Wen Jingrong gave him a glance and didn’t reply. He doesn’t mind Ge Junxuan as a guest, but he minded Bai Lin who was by his side. This person has a close relationship with Chen Zixiong but also has an ambiguous relationship with Gen Junxuan. He obviously wasn’t someone pure.

    葛俊轩看起来精明，实际上很容易相信别人，对朋友从来都是真心实意。闻景戎不希望他被人欺骗，回头一定要提醒他几句。

Ge Junxuan looks astute, but he actually trusts others easily and always treats his friends sincerely. Wen Jingrong didn’t wish for him to be deceived by others. He must give him some reminders later. 

    “大家过来吃饭吧。”尚可的声音从小厅传来。

“Come over and eat everyone.” Shang Ke’s voice sounded from the dining room.

    闻景戎脸色一缓，示意葛俊轩和他一起去小厅用餐。

Wen Jingrong’s expression became warmer. He motioned Ge Junxuan to follow him to the dining room to eat.

    “啧啧，光看着就知道好吃。”葛俊轩赞道。

“Gee, I can tell how delicious it is just by looking at it.” Ge Junxuan praised.

    闻景戎给了他一个“我的人当然是最好的还用你说”的炫耀眼神。

Wen Jingrong gave him a “My people is of course the best, do you still need to mention it” show off look.

    葛俊轩翻了个白眼，这家伙自从有了对象之后，画风就变得有些诡异了。

Ge Junxuan rolled his eyes. The way this fellow acts has become a little strange ever since he found himself his partner.

    这顿午餐采用的是分食制，一共有八道美食，各分列一份，中间还有大盘，若份量少了，可以自行添置。在家里用餐相对随意一点，不需要为了礼貌而克制食量。

This lunch was distributed by a portioning system. There were a total of eight dishes, each person distributed a portion of it. There was also another large tray in the center for people to add their share of food if the serving was too less. It was more casual eating at home, there was no need to limit the amount you eat out of politeness.

    葛俊轩尝过之后，对尚可的手艺赞不绝口。随后，他注意到尚可盘中的菜色与其他人有些不同，忍不住问：“尚可，为什么这两道菜，没有我们的份？”

Ge Junxuan was full of praise for Shang Ke’s cooking skills after trying them. Soon after, he noticed that the dishes on Shang Ke’s plate were a little different from others. He couldn’t help but ask, “Shang Ke, why do we not have a share for these two dishes?”

    闻景戎凉凉道：“桌上的食物还不够你吃吗？”

Wen Jingrong asked coldly, “Are the dishes on the table not enough for you?”

    “这不一样。”葛俊轩振振有词，“若是平常食物，吃多吃少没什么差别，但这种专业级的美食，每一种都不容错过。”

“It’s different.” Ge Junxuan replied righteously, “It doesn’t matter how much I eat if it was normal food. However, for this case where every dish is professionally made, I cannot afford to miss any type of dish.”

    说着，他又看向尚可，谄媚地笑道：“可可，还有多余的分我一份吗？”

After saying so, he looked at Shang Ke again and said with a flattering smile, “Keke, is there any extra for me?”

    可可也是你叫的？闻景戎脸色不善地盯着葛俊轩。

Is ‘Keke’ for you to call? Wen Jingrong glared at Ge Junxuan with an unhappy expression.

    葛俊轩完全无视他威胁的眼神，可怜兮兮地望着尚可。

Ge Junxuan completely ignored his threatening gaze. He looked at Shang Ke pitifully.

    “你确定要尝尝？”尚可迟疑地问。

“Are you sure you want to try?” Shang Ke asked doubtfully.

    葛俊轩重重点头，一副“为了美食死而无憾”的坚决表情。

Ge Junxuan nodded his head hard with a “I will die without regrets for delicious food” resolute expression.

    “好吧。”尚可用共用餐具给他分了两碟。

“Alright then.” Shang Ke distributed two plates of dishes for him.

    葛俊轩喜滋滋地接过来，迫不及待地食用，结果才吃了两口，脸色就像中毒一般，痛苦地捂着嘴巴朝洗手间冲去。

Ge Junxuan accepted them happily and tried eagerly. However, he only took two bites and he looked like he was poisoned. He covered his mouth in pain and rushed towards the restroom.

    旁边的柏霖看得一愣，不明白发生什么事了。

Bai Lin who was by the side was stunned by this, not understanding what had happened.

    几分钟过去，葛俊轩一脸菜色从洗手间出来，幽怨地问：“尚可，这种可怕的食物，你到底是怎么做出来的？”

A few minutes later, Ge Junxuan came out of the restroom with a green face and asked bitterly, “Shang Ke, how did you manage to make such terrible food?”

    尚可微笑着递上一杯饮料给他压惊。

Shang Ke passed him a drink with a smile to help him calm down.

    葛俊轩一口喝下，继续道：“更重要的是，你居然吃得下去？”

Ge Junxuan drank it all in one shot and continued, “Most importantly, you can actually eat it?”

    “我很喜欢。”尚可淡定自若地进食，完全不觉得味道有什么问题。

“I like it very much.” Shang Ke continued eating calmly and didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with the taste at all.

    葛俊轩不可思议道：“尚可，你的味觉和你的厨艺是成反比的吗？这种堪比毒药的食物已经远远超过了人类味觉可以承受的极限！”

Ge Junxuan found it inconceivable and asked “Shang Ke, is your taste and your cooking skill the complete opposite? This kind of food that is comparable to poison has far exceeded the limit a human’s taste bud can take!”

    “没人让你吃。”闻景戎冷冷插上一句。

“No one asked you to eat.” Wen Jingrong cold interrupted.

    “那是因为我相信尚可的厨艺，但谁知道他会如此惨无人道地折磨自己的胃！”葛俊轩为自己抱不平。

“That’s because I believe in Shang Ke’s cooking skills. However, who knew that he would torture his stomach so inhumanly!” Ge Junxuan stood for himself.

    闻景戎沉着脸：“你吃的那两道菜是我做的。”堪比毒药是吗？惨无人道是吗？很好。

Wen Jingrong said with a sullen face, “The two dishes you tried are made by me.” Comparable to poison? Inhumane? Very good.

    葛俊轩：“……”

Ge Junxuan: “…”

    数十秒后，葛俊轩沉默地向尚可投去了无比“敬畏”的眼神。爱情的力量实在太伟大了，即使是毒药也甘之如饴。

Many seconds later, Ge Junxuan quietly looked at Shang Ke in awe. The power of love is too great, he was willing to take it even if it was poison.

    “吃完赶紧滚蛋。”闻景戎不爽地冷哼。

“Quickly scram after eating.” Wen Jingrong humphed unhappily.

    葛俊轩连忙收敛表情，开始专心而优雅地品尝起美食来。至于那两份黑暗料理，被他不着痕迹地推回到尚可面前。

Ge Junxuan quickly gathered his thoughts and started tasting the food with focus and elegance. The two dark dishes were pushed back in front of Shang Ke by him without anyone noticing.

    柏霖视线左右移动，发现自己好像被隔离一般，完全插不进去。闻景戎和尚可自成一个世界，葛俊轩专注于美食，祥和的气氛与他格格不入。

Bai Lin looked left and right. He realised that he seemed to be isolated from their conversation and was unable to join in. Wen Jingrong and Shang Ke formed their own world and Ge Junxuan was focusing on his food, he was out of place in this peaceful atmosphere.

    吃过饭后，闻景戎将葛俊轩叫到书房，留下尚可和柏霖在客厅。

After eating, Wen Jingrong called Ge Junxuan into his study room and left Shang Ke and Bai Lin in the living room.

    “你与闻总交往多久了？”柏霖突然开口问道。

“How long have you been dating President Wen?” Bai Lin suddenly asked.

    几个世界加起来，少说上百年了。

There should be hundreds of years if he added up all the various worlds.

    尚可回答：“没多久。”比起未来的几百上千年，确实没多久。

Shang Ke answered, “Not long.” It indeed wasn’t long compared to the coming few hundred or thousands of years.

    “我想也是。”柏霖淡淡道，“闻总和我约会时，恐怕还不认识你。”

“I thought so too.” Bai Lin said lightly, “President Wen probably didn’t know you yet when he dated me.”

    尚可：呵呵，你们“约会”时，一定没注意身边还跟着一只煞笔。

Shang Ke: Haha, you guys definitely didn’t notice the evil pen following around when you guys “dated”.

    “是吗？”尚可微笑着品茶。

“Is that so?” Shang Ke enjoyed his tea with a smile.

    柏霖见他一副云淡风轻的模样，不免有些心浮气躁，继续道：“你不觉得我们长得很像吗？”

Bai Lin couldn’t help feeling irritated when he saw Shang Ke’s calm look. He continued, “Don’t you think that we look alike?”

    不要和煞笔玩挑拨离间好吗？他真的不想降低自己的格调。

Can you stop trying to sow discord with an evil pen? Shang Ke really didn’t want to lower his level.

    尚可从果盘中插起一块黄色果肉，笑道：“地瓜和雪莲果也长得很像，但一种吃多了会放屁，另一种能够提高男性功能。”

Shang Ke took up a piece of yellow fruit from the fruit plate and said with a smile, “Sweet potato and yacon looks alike too, but one makes you fart when you eat too much while the other can improve a man’s reproductive functions.”

    柏霖如同中了禁言魔法，被尚可憋得说不出话来。

It was as if Bai Lin was struck with a silence spell as he couldn’t say a thing to Shang Ke’s rebuttal.

    他愤怒地瞪着尚可，毫不掩饰对他的厌恶和嫉恨。

He stared at Shang Ke angrily without hiding his disgust and jealousy.

    在煞笔面前，任何人都无法隐藏自己的负面情绪。尚可闲适地靠在沙发上，像看胡闹的孩子一般看着他。

No one is able to hide their negative emotion in front of an evil pen. Shang Ke leaned onto the sofa leisurely and looked at Bai Lin as if looking at a kid throwing a tantrum.

    煞气越重的人，越容易冲动，特别他身边还坐着一只以恶为食的煞笔时。

The stronger the negative energy on a person, the more impulsive he is. It was especially so when an evil pen who feeds on it was sitting by his side.

    柏霖的表情变幻不定，凭什么他受尽凌辱也得不到自己想要的东西，这个人只靠在一张脸就拥有了一切？（尚可：讲道理，那是因为你不是一只煞笔。）

Bai Lin’s expression changed non-stop. Why was it that he couldn’t get what he wanted even when he suffered humiliation, but this person can get everything just by depending on his face? (Shang Ke: Logically speaking, it’s because you are not an evil pen.)

    看着他那副白莲花的模样，柏霖就恨不得上去撕了他，心中生起一种无法抑制的破坏欲。视线不经意瞥到桌上那杯还冒着热气的茶杯，他心念一动，缓缓端起桌上的茶杯喝了一口，随即说道：“尚可，我的茶有些冷了，可以帮我换一杯吗？”

Bai Lin wished to tear his face apart so much when he looked at his white lotus look. An uncontrollable desire to destroy grew in his heart. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the cup of hot tea on the table and a thought came to his mind. He slowly took up the cup of tea for a sip and said, “Shang Ke, my tea is getting a little cold. Can you change it for me?”

    “好的。”尚可愉快地答应，从他手上接过茶杯，去厨房给他泡了一杯热腾腾的新茶。

“Okay.” Shang Ke agreed happily. He took the cup from Bai Lin, then went to the kitchen and made him a new cup of piping hot tea.

    “谢谢。”柏霖站起身，伸手接过之际，膝盖“不小心”撞在茶几上，一个重心不稳，身体向前倾倒，与此同时，手上的热茶也直直朝尚可脸上泼去。

“Thank you.” When Bai Lin stood up and stretched his hand over to take the cup, his knee “accidentally” hit the coffee table. He lost his balance and his body fell forward. At the same time, the hot tea in his hand also poured straight towards Shang Ke’s face.

    正常人要是被波个正着，滚烫的液体烫伤皮肤还是小事，严重时足以烫瞎别人的眼睛。事后只要说是自己不小心，就算被追究责任，也已经对别人造成了难以挽回的伤害，到时候说不定还能成功破坏别人的恋情，让他得偿所愿。

If a normal person was splashed straight by it, their skin will probably be burned by the hot liquid in minor cases. In serious cases, the hot liquid can blind a person’s eyes. After everything had happened, all he had to do was say that he was careless. Even if he was held responsible, he has already caused irreversible damage to the other. He might even be able to successfully ruin the person’s relationship and get him what he wants.

    不得不说，柏霖做起事来真实毫不手软，仗着葛俊轩与闻景戎的关系，连得失利弊都考虑清楚了。

One has to say that Bai Ling is pretty unrelenting when he does something. He even considered the pros and cons carefully while relying on the relationship between Ge Junxuan and Wen Jingrong.

    可惜，他的对手是一只比他更黑的煞笔。

Unfortunately, his opponent is an evil pen who was more evil than him.

    热水泼到脸上的瞬间，尚可便捧着脸大叫一声，装死痛苦地蹲在地上。

The moment the hot drink landed on his face, Shang Ke held his face and screamed out loud as he pretended to squat down in pain.

    “啊，抱歉，你没事吧！”柏霖一脸“焦急”地凑上去扶住他，“让看看，伤得严不严重？”要是不严重，他可以再补一下，茶杯还在他手上端着呢。

“Ah, sorry, are you okay!” Bai Lin went over to help him with a “worried” look. “Let’s see if the injury is serious?” If it isn’t, he can still add on. He was still holding the tea cup in his hand.

    尚可一边低吟，一边顺着柏霖的动作，缓缓抬起头。

Shang Ke chanted softly as he slowly raised his head following Bai Lin’s movement.

    一张被烫得面目全非的脸猛然出现在柏霖的视线中，赤红的双眼还有鲜血渗出，吓得柏霖大叫一声，跌倒在地。

A face that was burned beyond recognition suddenly appeared in Bai Lin’s sight, with blood oozing out of those red eyes. Bai Lin screamed out loud in shock and fell onto the floor.

    听到叫声，闻景戎和葛俊轩先后从书房中跑出来。见客厅中的两人，一个捂着脸蹲在地上，一个则满脸惊恐指着对方。

Wen Jingrong and Ge Junxuan ran out of the study room one after another after hearing the screams. They saw the two people in the living room, one holding his face and squatting down while the other was pointing at the other with his face full of horror.

    “怎么回事？”闻景戎快步走到尚可身边，眼中闪过一抹焦色。

“What’s going on?” Wen Jingrong hurried to Shang Ke’s side as a trace of anxiousness flashed past his eyes.

    “他，他……”柏霖强压下心中的恐慌，表情愧疚地说道，“刚才尚可给我泡了一杯热茶，我茶杯的时候，没站稳，不小心叫茶水泼在他脸上了。”

“He, he…” Bai Lin suppressed the fear in his heart and said with a guilty look, “Shang Ke made me a cup of hot tea just now. When I went to take it from him, I didn’t stand properly and accidentally poured the tea onto his face.”

    说着，他拉着葛俊轩的衣袖，声音带着哭腔说道：“俊轩，我真的不是故意的。”

After saying so, he pulled Ge Junxuan’s sleeve and said with a crying voice, “Junxuan, I really didn’t mean it.”

    “好了好了，没事了。”葛俊轩抱着他安慰，随即紧张地问，“尚可伤得怎么样，要不要去医院看看？”

“Alright alright, it’s all fine now.” Ge Junxuan hugged and comforted him, then immediately asked nervously, “How bad is Shang Ke’s injury? Do we need to take a look at the hospital?”

    柏霖又想起他那张脸，小声道：“他伤得好像很严重……”

Bai Lin thought of his face again and said softly, “His injuries seem very serious…”

    葛俊轩脸色微变，快速朝闻景戎和尚可望去。

Ge Junxuan’s expression changed slightly. He quickly looked towards Wen Jingrong and Shang Ke.

    听到柏霖的话，闻景戎反而不紧张了，尚可当初在大火中都能毫发无伤，更何况是小小一杯热茶？只是柏霖刚才的叙述值得考究，闻景戎眼中的寒光一闪而逝。

Wen Jingrong didn’t feel anxious anymore after hearing Bai Lin’s words. Shang Ke wasn’t even hurt in the previous fire, what can a small cup of hot tea do? However, Bai Lin’s depiction of the situation is worth investigating. A cold glint flashed past Wen Jingrong’s eyes.

    “可可，怎么样？”闻景戎扶着他，低声询问。

“Keke, how is it?” Wen Jingrong supported him and asked softly.

    “没事，不用担心。”尚可放开手，缓缓将自己的脸露出来。

“It’s nothing, no need to worry.” Shang Ke let go of his hand and slowly revealed his face.

    柏霖下意识移开视线，却听葛俊轩松口气地说：“还好，不是很严重。”

Bai Lin looked away unconsciously, but heard Ge Junxuan said in relief, “Fortunately, it’s not very serious.”

    什么？烫成那样还不严重？柏霖猛地转过头，见尚可脸上除了右眼下有一块粉色烫伤之外，再没有其他伤痕。

What? It’s not serious even though he is scalded so badly? Bai Lin quickly turned his head  back to look. Other than a pink burn wound under Shang Ke’s right eye, there were no other wounds.

    柏霖一脸惊愕地望着他，像是见到什么不可思议的东西。

Bai Lin looked at him in wonder as if he saw something inconceivable.

    “疼吗？”闻景戎在那块粉色上轻轻吻了一下。

“Does it hurt?” Wen Jingrong gently kissed on that pink wound.

    “不疼。”尚可的双眸带着雾气，眼角的粉色不仅没有破坏他的美颜，反而增添了一分妩媚。

“No.” Shang Ke’s eyes were foggy. The pink wound under his eyes didn’t ruin his beauty, but added some cham to him instead.

    “过来，我给你拿冰块敷一敷。”闻景戎拉着尚可的手，看也没看柏霖一眼，径直走进厨房。

“Come here, I will help you put ice on it.” Wen Jingrong pulled Shang Ke’s hand and walked straight into the kitchen without giving Bai Lin a glance.

    “柏霖，你也太不小心了，若把尚可烫出个好歹，景戎非得把你弄死不可。”葛俊轩责怪地看着柏霖，眼中闪过一丝疑虑。刚才在书房中，闻景戎提醒他防范柏霖，但他始终不愿相信这个人会背叛他。

“You’re too careless Bai Lin. If anything happens to Shang Ke, Wen Jingrong will definitely kill you.” Ge Junxuan looked at Bai Lin in blame and a trace of suspicion flashed past his eyes. When they were in the study room earlier, Wen Jingrong had reminded him to guard against Bai Lin. However, he doesn’t wish to believe that this person would betray him.

    “抱歉，是我的错。”柏霖低下头，掩去脸上的惊疑和愤恨。

“Sorry, it’s my fault.” Bai Lin lowered his head to hide the doubt and resentment on his face.

    葛俊轩见他这般可怜的模样便又心软了，也不再多说什么。

Ge Junxuan felt softhearted seeing his pitiful appearance and didn’t say anything again.

    “什么情况？”厨房中，闻景戎一边给尚可敷脸，一边低声询问。

“What’s going on?” In the kitchen, Wen Jingrong asked softly while putting ice on Shang Ke’s face.

    “唔，就是没站稳，把热茶波我脸上了。”尚可认真道，“我怀疑他患有间接性小儿麻痹症。”

“Well, he didn’t stand properly and ended up pouring the hot tea on my face.” Shang Ke said seriously, “I suspect that he has poliomyelitis.”

    闻景戎：“……”

Wen Jingrong: “…”

    “你有没有提醒葛俊轩这个人不可靠？”尚可问。

“Have you reminded Ge Junxuan that that person is unreliable?” Shang Ke asked.

    “提醒了，不过他好像对柏霖动了真心。”闻景戎沉着脸道，“派诺岛的项目，俊轩也投资了，就算不谈感情，他们也是合作伙伴。”

“Yes, but he seems to have really fell for Bai Lin.” Wen Jingrong said with a sullen face, “Junxuan has also invested in the Pano island project. Leaving their feelings aside, they are still partners in work.”

    尚可皱着眉头，再过不久就有一场重大事故发生，葛俊轩恐怕要被庆威所牵连了。

Shang Ke furrowed his brows. A major accident will happen soon, Ge Junxuan is probably going to be implicated by Qingwei,

    正如尚可所料，半个月后的某天晚上，闻景戎接到葛俊轩的求救电话：“景戎，我出事了，快到奇石山来，我，我……”

Just as Shang Ke has predicted, Wen Jingrong received Ge Junxuan’s call for help on a night half a month later, “Jingrong, I’m in trouble. Quickly come to Kistler mountain. I, I…”

    话还没说完，电话就变成忙音。

The phone changed to the busy tone before he finished speaking.

    闻景戎脸色阴沉，一边派人打听情况，一边冒着大雨，驱车赶往奇石山。

Wen Jingrong’s face was gloomy. He sent people to find out more about the situation while he braved the heavy rain and drove straight to Kistler mountain.
