evenly matched

"They didn't want to kill me, the knife went in right on the ribs, they just wanted me to bleed."

"It's still too dangerous. If Zhan Yang doesn't agree to their conditions, what will you do?"

Yuan Xiao smiled, "He won't."

Choked by the unfounded confidence in his tone, Chen Siyan glared at Yuan Xiao, his anger continued to grow.Yuan Xiao, who was eating the apple, didn't notice at all, and told Chen Siyan about his next plan.

"Enough!" Chen Siyan interrupted him suddenly, "Are you going to be an undercover agent, or are you going to be his subordinate?"

Yuan Xiao was stunned, and just about to say something, someone opened the door and came in.

--It's Zhan Yang!

The arrival of Zhan Yang made Chen Siyan's hairs stand on end, while Yuan Xiao gloated and waited for the good show after a brief surprise.

"The doctor said you still have injuries on your shoulder?" Zhan Yang's eyes only stayed on Chen Siyan for half a minute before turning away.

Yuan Xiao curled his lips indifferently, "It's a little flesh wound."

Zhan Yang recalled that when he was in the basement, Yuan Xiao always subconsciously held his right hand.An injury that makes him feel uncomfortable cannot be a minor injury.

Regardless of whether Yuan Xiao objected or not, he lifted his sleeves, revealing his bloody shoulder joints.

"Is this a small injury?" He frowned, his face full of gloom.

Yuan Xiao smiled awkwardly, but didn't answer.

Zhan Yang put down his sleeves and asked, "How did you come here?"

Of course Yuan Xiao would not tell Zhan Yang the truth, if others knew, he would have lost face by forcing himself into the fence in order to catch the guards!

He couldn't get an answer from him, so Zhan Yang turned his gaze to Chen Siyan, "Tell me, how did he get his injury."

It can be said that the tone of his speech to Chen Siyan was not polite at all.Anyone who knows a little about Zhan Yang knows that he is a very reserved person, and it is almost impossible for him to be rude to others.

But today, even the nervous Yuan Xiao felt his unfriendliness, let alone Chen Siyan who was always on guard against him.

"He is your subordinate, I think you know this question better than me."

Zhan Yang smiled slightly, "Oh? I thought Yuan Xiao was your subordinate."

Yuan Xiao secretly thought it was too bad, if Chen Siyan knew that he had been exposed, he would definitely do everything possible to get him back.

Sure enough, Chen Siyan glanced at Yuan Xiao with an unprecedented sharpness in his eyes.

Zhan Yang continued to laugh, "What should I call you? Mr. Chen, or Mr. Chen?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Chen Siyan said expressionlessly, "Yuan Xiao is my friend, and I don't want to see him get hurt."

"Are you blaming me for not taking good care of him?" Zhan Yang looked at Yuan Xiao with a smile.

Yuan Xiao looked at him innocently, Zhan Yang squinted his eyes, and warned Yuan Xiao to settle accounts with him later.

Chen Siyan saw the interaction between the two, and felt very uncomfortable.But he knew very well that if he continued to stay here, it would be very detrimental to Yuan Xiao's future actions.

So, he stood up, ignoring Zhan Yang who was sending out cold air at any time, and said to Yuan Xiao: "I'll go back first, you... take good care of yourself."

"I know, go slowly!" Yuan Xiao craned his neck, watching Chen Siyan leave.

Suddenly, there were only two people left in the ward. If he had a choice, Yuan Xiao would rather stay with Chen Siyan.

Zhan Yang peeled the apple silently, Yuan Xiao glanced at it cautiously, and wailed in his heart - he really couldn't eat it anymore!

The last bit of skin was peeled off, Yuan Xiao was about to "bear the humiliation" and take the apple, but Zhan Yang put the apple to his mouth and took a bite himself.

Yuan Xiao withdrew his hand that was frozen in the air, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's so late, brother Zhan still not resting?"

"I'll see how you plot to kill me."

"...Brother Zhan, stop joking, I am loyal to you!"

Zhan Yang snorted coldly, whenever Yuan Xiao kept something from him, he was always very polite to him.He is just a bad wolf cub, maybe one day he will bite back.

Yuan Xiao saw a lot of information from Zhan Yang's expression, and knew that it was useless to pretend to be stupid this time.

He curled his lips in displeasure, and returned to his unserious appearance, "I find that you are not gentle at all, and you are too rude to treat me as a wounded patient!"

Zhan Yang sneered, "How do you want to be treated?"

"Shush the cold and ask the warmth, help me rub the wound, it won't hurt if you blow it."

"Okay," Zhan Yang stood up and imprisoned Yuan Xiao directly under him, staring into his eyes very closely, "Why are you working so hard today?"

Yuan Xiao felt a sense of oppression from Zhan Yang.

Such things as "momentum" are a provocative signal released by a man to another man.Yuan Xiao couldn't stand being provoked by others, not to mention that this person was Zhan Yang who had always wanted to defeat him.

"Don't you know?" Yuan Xiao smiled evilly and licked the wound on the corner of his mouth, "My blood is all drained for you."

Zhan Yang's eyes darkened, "New gameplay?"

"Whatever you think." Such a distance made Yuan Xiao want to move, he still remembered the taste of war, and the thrill of conquering made him short of breath.

Zhan Yang keenly noticed his change, glared at him, and opened the distance between the two, "I hope you don't forget your position, lest this scene end too early."

"I should say this to you." Yuan Xiao did not want to be outdone, "To indulge me too much is not good for you."

Zhan Yang seemed to have heard the big joke, and raised his eyebrows to look at Yuan Xiao: "Where do you know that I'm pampering you?"

Yuan Xiao chuckled softly, "Arguing is something that only women love to do."

Zhan Yang's expression turned cold in an instant, he had been ambiguous with Yuan Xiao a moment ago, but in this second, the person lying on the bed became his enemy.

"You're right, I indulged you too much."

"Regret saving me?" Yuan Xiao looked straight at Zhan Yang without fear.

Zhan Yang stared at him, "I want to know, what were you thinking after being stabbed?"

"I'm wondering if you're fucking dead!" Yuan Xiao yelled without warning, "Aren't you awesome, let a few gangsters threaten your brother's life, Zhan Yang, so you are so unbearable one strike!"

After Yuan Xiao roared loudly, his chest heaved violently, and he stared at Zhan Yang with a fierce expression.

"I didn't know you were so self-conscious," Zhan Yang was still tepid, he approached Yuan Xiao again, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "When will I admit that you are my brother?"

Yuan Xiao suddenly felt that he was a big fool, and he had serious doubts about the purpose of what he had done during this period.

"What? Finished yelling?" Zhan Yang put his bloody fingers into his mouth, "I said, I want your heart to belong to me. How about it, at this moment, how much of this place belongs to you?"

Yuan Xiao felt that Zhan Yang's finger on his chest pierced straight into his brain, stirring it into a paste.

"Do you know what I was thinking at that time?" Zhan Yang said to himself, "I was thinking-Yuan Xiao, you are finished!"

"Finish your sister!" Yuan Xiao suddenly jumped up, threw Zhan Yang aside, and rode neatly on top of him, condescendingly staring at Zhan Yang's eyes widened in surprise, "Hmph! Just bleed a little, You really think I'm Sister Lin? Zhan Yang, listen to me, you are my Yuan Xiao's prey, whoever wants to get involved, I'll beat him until he doesn't even know him!"

Zhan Yang was suppressed by Yuan Xiao, and he didn't show any discomfort. Instead, he withdrew his aggression and stared at Yuan Xiao calmly.

After a while, he patted Yuan Xiao's leg, "Get off me."

Yuan Xiao smirked, "Let's do something meaningful!"

Zhan Yang calmly reached out and pressed the pager on the bedside, and after a while, the nurse rushed over.

Yuan Xiao had no choice but to leave Zhan Yang under the astonished eyes of the nurse, and finally sneered at the little nurse, but failed to comfort the frightened her, but scared the little nurse with red eyes and ran away crying.

A little more bleeding was really not a big deal to Yuan Xiao, and he was discharged from the hospital the next day.

Zhang Zijuan welcomed him into the house full of joy, then ran to the kitchen and brought him the special medicinal meal made by the housekeeper, and only allowed him to go to bed after watching him finish eating.

Yuan Xiao can tell which room Zhan Yang lives in recently just by looking at it. He generously occupied Zhan Yang's bed. Amid the familiar smell, he gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already dark.

Yuan Xiao was wondering why the butler didn't ask him to get up for dinner, and when he went out, he met the butler who was slowly retreating from the master bedroom.

"Housekeeper, what are you doing sneaking around?"

He suddenly made a sound, which startled the housekeeper.

"Mr. Yuan..." the butler sighed, "The food is warming up for you, do you want to eat now?"

Yuan Xiao glanced at the closed door and asked, "Zhan Yang is back?"

"Well, Mr. Zhan just fell asleep... wait, Mr. Yuan!"

Yuan Xiao pushed the door open before the housekeeper stopped him.

The room was pitch black, and with the light coming in from the corridor, Yuan Xiao could barely make out the direction.

He walked slowly towards the bed, just as he approached, a bloody smell mixed with the smell of gunpowder came to his nostrils.Yuan Xiao froze on the spot, and turned on the lamp by the bed with a "snap".

The warm light illuminated the scene in front of him - Zhan Yang buried half of his face in the quilt, breathing evenly, and slept deeply.And he, who always loves cleanliness, sleeps wearing dusty clothes. The most surprising thing is that there are a lot of blood stains between his white fingers.
