black under lights

Because of the upcoming work, even though she was upset, Li Xueying only drank two sips of wine.

Sure enough, Xing Mo didn't come to him again for half an hour.

Occasionally, just very occasionally, when seeing his figure in the crowd, Li Xueying couldn't help following him.

He is indeed different from before. Li Xueying has no way of knowing where that refined demeanor and aura come from, but one thing is for sure, he is more charming than before.

When it was time, Li Xueying went to the gambling table, and this time she asked herself to concentrate more, put aside the messy content in her mind, and a few hours passed quickly.

He thought that at least he would never see Xing Mo again at the gaming table, but in the last 10 minutes, Xing Mo appeared in front of the gaming table again.

The chips in his hand were several times higher than when he stood in front of Li Xueying for the first time, and Li Xueying didn't know whether he was lucky or threw the money again.

This time Xing Mo didn't leave, win or lose, until Li Xueying's shift time, he stopped and left with him.

Before leaving the casino, Xing Mo exchanged all the chips left in his hand for banknotes. When he walked up to the housing area on the third floor, he folded the banknotes and stuffed them into Li Xueying's trousers pocket.

Li Xueying's trousers are straight, fit well without looking stiff, and just outline her upturned buttocks.Xing Mo quickly swept it into his back pocket, and stepped back cunningly to prevent Li Xueying from making a move.

But Li Xueying didn't turn her head to give him a look, she just took out the money, counted it, and stuffed it back into her inner shirt pocket: "What is this, a tip?"

"Actually, I always lose every bet." Xing Mo followed up again, talking nonsense in a serious manner, "It's probably because of you that I was lucky tonight, so you should have your share."

What he said was flirtatious inside and out.

"Then I have to take good care of Mr. Xing."

Xing Mo smiled and said "It's easy to say", stopped in front of his door, and opened it.The two entered the room after confirming that there was no one in the corridor.

Li Xueying took out a document bag and handed it to Xing Mo.

Xing Mo opened it in front of Li Xueying. It contained Feng Qing's schedule of major events for the next month, the content of his meeting with people last month, and some scattered and useless ticket stubs.Xing Mo held the information and looked up at him, knowing that Li Xueying must be the same as him. He knew that the information could not play a decisive role, but it was better than nothing.

He suddenly felt soft-hearted, mixed with sadness.

Although I don't know how Li Xueying got here these years, he must try his best to wait for a fair ending.Even though the effort he gave was greater than what he got in the end, he was still doing his best to search for all the items that could be evidence.He had to be isolated and helpless all these years, and he had to control his emotions and stay awake at all times.It was because he was not the only one doing it, Li Li was also involved in it, not to mention, a mistake would cause eternal hatred.It's good that he wanted to do his part to bring down Feng Qing, but...

"Although this content has not expired, it was half a month ago." Xing Mo frowned and looked at the light carefully, "You met Xing Shaofeng before, why didn't you give it to him earlier?"

"My sister gave it to me." Li Xueying replied after a brief silence, "Including a few pieces of information, I have already obtained them, but I just handed them over to you now."

Li Xueying didn't finish what he said, but Xing Mo instantly understood what he meant.Li Li is a piece of chess placed by Feng Qing's side. Many times, she can have first-hand information and news, which may not be available to outsiders even if they try their best.Then, if the first-hand information she provided was leaked at the first time, two or three times, Feng Qing would definitely become suspicious.

And Li Xueying did this more to protect Li Li.

Xing Shaofeng felt relieved.

Li Xueying was very silent tonight.Normally, he must ask Xing Shaofeng about the recent progress, and he can say anything casually, at least it can calm his highly nervous nerves.But tonight Li Xueying didn't mean to talk too much, after handing over the things, he turned to leave.

But the moment he grabbed the doorknob, a hand passed through his waist and locked the door behind his back.

Li Xueying turned around and looked at Xing Mo calmly.

The room was dimly lit, his eyes with black chips only reflected sporadic light in the darkness, and his own snow-white skin and light-colored hair, lined with a white shirt, let him be surrounded by Xing Mo's shadow, It is also like a plump pearl, emitting a gentle and dim light.

Xing Mo was a little lost in thought.

He remembered that time...or earlier, maybe when he met Li Xueying for the first time.

That year, his hair and eyebrows were still jet-black, with an imposing aura, well-groomed, and he could tell he was a student at a glance.

Now the immature aura is gone, and the color of hair and fur is no longer taken care of. With light-colored hair, light-colored eyebrows, light-colored eyelashes and sweat hair, coupled with his already light complexion, the whole person is like a little snowman.Perhaps amused by the thoughts in his mind, Xing Mo inserted five fingers into his light hair by accident.

"Going in such a hurry, hiding from me like a plague god?" He said again.

Li Xueying stared at him without moving, without saying a word, there were many emotions in that gaze.Xing Mo gradually saw in it, stubbornness.

A stubbornness that stubbornly waits for an answer.

For some reason, the words that I planned to talk to him tonight seemed to be blocked in my mouth suddenly, and I couldn't say a word.

Xing Mo was at a loss for words for a long time, but finally said: "Last time I said that I have something to keep and put it with you..."

Li Xueying suddenly smiled, and when he smiled, the emotions in his eyes receded quickly like a tide, and finally there was only silence, like a vast ocean reflecting the night sky.

"It turns out that you only miss it all the time." He raised his hand, unbuttoned a button of his shirt, and then pulled the string around his neck to pull something out, with a bit of viciousness, "I'll give it back to you later. If you have anything, don't ask me for it."

Xing Mo couldn't keep up with one sentence, and wanted to slap his own mouth in his heart, but he didn't mean it at all.

When he reacted again, Li Xueying had already left, leaving only a small pocket watch in his palm.Open the lid, there is a pen drawing on the inner lid, just a few strokes, but of course Xing Mo can recognize that it is himself five years ago.While the pocket watch is ticking, the second hand moves quietly, and there is a small origami five-pointed star on the surface, which is very thickly stacked.

The light cut Xing Mo's handsome face, he stared quietly for a moment, and peeled off the five-pointed star.

On it was the string of notes that he had put in the interleaf of the book pages before he left. The content had been encrypted, and only he knew the way to decrypt it.It seems to be a terrible password, but in fact it only records an address and number.

Turning over the note, on the back of him, he copied the poem in sharp seal characters.

I give you the core of myself that I tried to keep

——Don’t make sentences with words, don’t trade with dreams

A core untouched by time, joy and adversity

Li Xueying walked back to the lounge and even poured three glasses of ice water. The fire in her chest could not be extinguished, so she simply went to the deck again without even carrying her coat.

The sea breeze blew his forehead hair, revealing reddish eye sockets, the chill should be piercing, but he only felt chills.

In fact, speaking of their acquaintance, in more than 2000 days and nights, it was just a fleeting episode.This episode may be lingering in his ears, but it doesn't mean it is the same for Xing Mo.

Li Xueying grasped the railing tightly, and the colder touch penetrated into the palm of his hand, bringing him a stimulating pain in the palm of his hand.

A light and shadow suddenly cut the dark shadow in front of him, the door was smashed open vigorously, and the other party's footsteps were messy and hasty, so that Li Xueying had just turned around when she was pulled into her arms.The warm chest was only covered by thin clothes, and the other party was obviously the same as him, rushing to the deck in only his shirt.The unfamiliar temperature quickly drove away his coldness, washing almost every inch of his nerves, making Li Xueying almost shed tears.

Xing Mo's breathing was a little messy, and he had a unique cold fragrance on his body, and the person in his arms was so small that it was enough to be buried in his entire arms with a grasp.Xing Mo rested his chin on his forehead, looked straight ahead, lowered his head and kissed him vigorously.

Everything in that pocket watch has been confided to him.

Who cares what the story is, Xing Mo only knows that his heart is still the same as before, and has never changed.Whether it's gentle and obedient at first glance, or now dangerous and charming and unpredictable, Li Xueying has not changed in one thing.What is Li Xueying planning?He doesn't draw anything.

"I'm sorry." His bluntness was blown away by the sea breeze, but the vibration in his chest was like a fuzzy eardrum, which came to Li Xueying's ears in a low and hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Li Xueying suspected that she was dreaming, and the emotional floodgate that she had been carefully guarding could not be restrained at this moment like a flood.

He pushed him away vigorously, but Xing Mo immediately pressed him into his arms.

Li Xueying instinctively began to struggle, punching and kicking, with a ferocious expression, and he didn't even realize that tears were streaming down his face.

It turned out that from being frozen and not moving to breaking the ice and opening the gate, it was only a moment.

"Why did you come to see me?" After struggling for a while, Li Xueying finally gave up, as if her anger had been sucked away from her body, "You and I are no longer fellow travelers, and I have nothing to say. I have understood since the day we met, what do you want?" The only intersection with me is that note. If it wasn’t for it, I’m afraid I wouldn’t bother you, Xing Sheng, to come here today, right?”

Xing Mo frowned and pursed his lips. He hasn't figured out how to tell Li Xueying everything about the past five years, nor is he mentally prepared to accept how he spent the past five years.In fact, how could he not know?

Xing Mo went back to Hong Kong once a year without hesitation, and watched Li Xueying silently, but these were not a good time to speak to Li Xueying at this time.

"I owe you." Xing Mo pressed Li Xueying down again with gentle and unquestionable strength. He closed his eyes tightly, and this time he was so bitter that he finally said, "Five years ago, I promised you to keep you safe, to keep you safe." Dad Ping An, in the end it was I who failed to do it, and I also broke the appointment. This time I came back, I knew exactly what I wanted and what I didn’t want. You and Liu Fangfang, one I failed to fulfill the promise, and the other was killed because of being involved. I don’t want to come again For once, I'd rather you live under shelter than anyone else's. I can't see you in danger again, and the closer you are to me, the more dangerous you are."

Li Xueying raised his eyes, he tried to turn around, but he stumbled, and because of struggling too hard, Xing Mo knocked him against the iron surface opposite the railing.The moonlight is so good, the clouds and mist are hazy and covered, and it is burned with a layer of bright halo, so that the late night itself has its charm, covering the seaside like the sky, and also the unique tenderness and romance in the world.

"No need." Li Xueying said, "I have already stood in the center of the abyss, let alone your arbitrariness and self-importance."

Xing Mo stared at Li Xueying's face that seemed to be shining under the moonlight, and rubbed his rough thumb over his light-colored lips, wiping away the tears from his temples that had been blown cold by the wind.

"Five years is too long, you and I have changed a lot. Perhaps, we should give each other more time. But one thing, Ah Ying, some things I have never changed."

Staring at the man's eager face, there is almost no trace of the past on that face.

Li Xueying thought almost masochistically, no, Xing Mo didn't really understand.I don't understand how hard it is for him to wait for his words now.

He has been reborn, and he is still in the mud.
