Dead rival kneeling and begging for reconciliation

Su Zhiqiao ran all the way down the stairs, only to find Shen Mu smoking from the parking lot.

"Shen Mu!" Su Zhiqiao strode over, before he could speak, he gasped for breath with his stomach stretched.Shen Mu bypassed him to drive, but Su Zhiqiao grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go.Seeing that he was out of breath and anxious, Shen Mu raised his hand and pulled back his sleeves.

"I'm not leaving." Shen Mu motioned him, and took out a cigarette.The flames clicked out, the cigarette butt flashed, and blue smoke curled up.Su Zhiqiao didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so she wrinkled her nose.

Noticing the look in his eyes, Shen Mu just snorted lightly: "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Father is awake and wants to see you." Su Zhiqiao looked at Shen Mu, the cat's eyes gleamed with water: "Dad told me everything."

Shen Mu took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled at Su Zhiqiao: "Then?"

"Yes... I'm sorry." Su Zhiqiao blinked his eyes in pain, and uttered a sentence in a tangle of smoke. He felt that such a dry apology was insincere, so he quickly added, "Why don't you Tell me sooner?"

Shen Mu lifted his foot and left: "There is no need."

"What do you mean it's unnecessary?!" Su Zhiqiao immediately opened her hand to stop him, but was staggered by Shen Mu, and it was Shen Mu who caught him so that he didn't let him fall and close the front cover of the car.

"It doesn't mean that we have already broken up. Is it meaningful to say these things?" Shen Mu's speech was unhurried, and the stern face behind the smoke seemed to have a sense of distance.

"What if I say I don't want to break up?" Su Zhiqiao's face was very hot, she looked at Shen Mu eagerly, and emphasized, "I don't want to break up."

"Young master, the world doesn't always revolve around you. You don't want to, you don't want to, let those who spoil you listen to this kind of words." Su Zhiqiao's fingers were broken one by one by Shen Mu, his tone There was a taste of sarcasm in it, "Let's get together and get away, good boy."

Su Zhiqiao shivered for a moment, like a pet cat being kicked out by its owner, with a confused and sad expression in his eyes: "Can't we just break up?"

"Don't like the smell of cigarettes?" Shen Mu answered irrelevantly, raising his hand, the cigarette butt between his fingers turned red.

Su Zhiqiao nodded blankly, because he didn't like the smell of cigarettes, and Shen Mu had always quit smoking when he was with him.

Shen Mu took a deep breath of the cigarette, pinched Su Zhiqiao's neck and pressed it closer, and the smoke flowed into Su Zhiqiao's mouth.The spicy smell of smoke rushed straight to his forehead, and Su Zhiqiao couldn't help but coughed, tears streaming down his face: "Cough, cough, cough..."

"I won't quit smoking for you again. Can you accept that?"

Su Zhiqiao gritted her teeth and blinked away tears: "Yes."

Shen Mu wiped his eyes, and his fingertips felt a little cool: "If you become a prostitute, you can still consider it."

Su Zhiqiao seemed to grasp a glimmer of hope, and said without hesitation: "We can start from **."

Shen Mu was stunned. He squinted his eyes and looked at Su Zhiqiao, as if he was considering the feasibility, and sneered for a while: "I'm too lazy to fuck you. You're so cute, I can't bear to fuck, I can't even change my position. That's fine, put your tears away." .Since uncle is fine, I'll leave first. I hope you can make a difference next time we meet."

The underground parking lot was damp and cold, and Su Zhiqiao felt the cold air penetrate into his heart from all his limbs. He leaned against the pillar to stabilize his body while trembling, staring at the black Maybach as it disappeared through the exit.With a bang, a round splash of water splashed on the ground, and then more and more fell, wetting the ground a little.

three months later. City A has entered late spring, and the warm wind urges the flowers and trees all over the city to bloom, and the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers.At this time, Su Mingyuan finally walked as usual.He held a family banquet, the main guests were the Su family, and there was also Shen Mu.To Su Zhiqiao's surprise, Han Yue also came.

Han Yue was a little embarrassed to meet Su Zhiqiao's unexpected eyes.She could see that she was dressed up today, and was held by Shang Qian: "Qiao Qiao, isn't Han Yue your good friend? I specially invited her to today's family banquet. Hurry up and ask her to sit down."

"Please sit down." Su Zhiqiao pulled aside the chair beside her to let Han Yue sit down, but her eyes were fixed on Shen Mu.

Su Zhiqiao and Shen Mu haven't seen each other for a long time.Since his father woke up, Shen Mu quit the Su family's company.After Su Zhiqiao took over by himself, he realized how heavy a burden Shen Mu had carried for him, but what he returned was doubt and hurt.Fortunately, this time Shen Mu left him with Yue Qing, as well as the purged company management, everything was running in an orderly manner.If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask Su Mingyuan for advice. Su Zhiqiao doesn't think it is too difficult.

After everyone was seated, Su Mingyuan announced a major event: he will retire to the second line, and the company will be officially taken over by Su Zhiqiao in the future.When hearing this, Su Zhiqiao subconsciously looked at Shen Mu.

Shen Mu sat opposite him.Shen Mu's hair grew a little, which softened his sharp features.He just looked at Su Mingyuan and toasted with everyone without even casting a glance at him.

The uncles of the Su family had been ruthlessly repaired by Su Mingyuan, and now they all resigned to their fate. They were not unwilling to hear this, but they all started to flatter and tease Su Zhiqiao.

"Jojo is really capable now."

"That's right, in my impression, Jojo was only that small, and he grew up in the blink of an eye."

"Why grow up? I'm still a child. When I find a daughter-in-law for my elder brother, that's called growing up." The second aunt teased.

"Isn't that what it is?" Third Aunt cast a look at Han Yue and said with a smile, "I brought all my girlfriends back."

"Second Aunt and Third Aunt, don't talk nonsense, Han Yue is not my girlfriend." Su Zhiqiao subconsciously glanced at Shen Mu, feeling a strong guilty conscience in her heart - even though Shen Mu didn't lift her eyes.

The third aunt smiled: "Qiao Qiao is still shy?"

Han Yue just lowered her head, she is a girl, she blushed when she was joked about like this.She was very contradictory, shy on the one hand, and vaguely expectant on the other.Su Zhiqiao's mother seems to like her very much, maybe...

The more anxious Su Zhiqiao became, the harder everyone laughed.Shang Qian glanced at Shen Mu calmly, and said with a smile: "All right, all right, girls are shy, don't scare them."

"Han Yue and I are really not together!" Su Zhiqiao said angrily, "Han Yue, tell me!"

"Yes, Zhiqiao and I are just partners. Auntie, please stop joking." Seeing that Su Zhiqiao's expression was a little off, Han Yue explained in a low voice.

Shang Qian's voice directly overshadowed theirs, and she joked with a few female relatives in the air: "When can we drink wedding wine? You have to ask Qiao Qiao about that, and I don't know when he will grow up."

Everyone was joking wantonly, but no one listened to his words.Shen Mu sat across from him, staring at him with complicated meanings in his eyes.

"I won't be with Han Yue." Su Zhiqiao looked at Shen Mu firmly, and heard her voice trembling, but no one noticed what he said, and Shen Mu also looked away.

The nerve stretched to the limit finally broke, and he suddenly raised his voice, "Did anyone hear what I said? I will not be with Han Yue!"

Out of inertia, the chatter and laughter of the crowd continued for a while before they gradually quieted down, looking at Su Zhiqiao.Su Zhiqiao's expression was very strange, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

The third uncle said haha: "Qiao Qiao, don't do this if you don't like it, save the girl's face."

Han Yue stared blankly at Su Zhiqiao, the water in her eyes was shaking.Only then did Su Zhiqiao realize how much his words had hurt Han Yue, and he gave Han Yue a sorry look, "It's none of Han Yue's business, it's my own problem."

With a bang, the fork in Shang Qian's hand fell to the ground.Su Mingyuan's smile gradually faded, and he stared at Su Zhiqiao: "Qiaoqiao, everyone is here today, so don't be childish. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we get home."

"I have something to announce. It happens that everyone is here, so I don't need to notify everyone one by one." Su Zhiqiao suddenly stood up, picked up a goblet, tapped it with a fork, as if there was a fire burning in his chest He was so burned that he wanted to spit it out.

Everyone looked at him when they heard the sound, not knowing what Su Zhiqiao was going to do.Shen Mu clenched the wine glass in his hand, and frowned. On such an occasion... Su Zhiqiao would never...

Shang Qian slapped the table suddenly: "Qiao Qiao!"

At the same time, Su Zhiqiao said loudly: "I like men!"

As these words came out of his mouth, the fire in his chest seemed to burst into flames at any moment, burning away the blockages that blocked his chest, and burning away the shackles that had made him hesitate for so long.Su Zhiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, her cat eyes gleamed, she stared straight at Shen Mu, and repeated again: "I don't like Han Yue, because I like men."

"Su Zhiqiao! What nonsense are you talking about! Sit down!" Shang Qian screamed, and threw the wine glass in Su Zhiqiao's head and face.

Shen Mu, who had been paying attention to this side for a long time, raised his hand to block it, the wine glass fell into the soup, but the bright red wine splashed all over Su Zhiqiao's face, dripped down his chin, and was quickly sucked up by the white shirt.

"This is... Qiao Qiao, you can't talk nonsense." From Su Zhiqiao's words, everyone seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and Shang Qian's actions seemed to be pressed again. persuasion.

"Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, don't do anything."

……

Su Zhiqiao's eyes swept over Shen Mu, his expression was normal, but against the backdrop of everyone's different expressions, he looked more indifferent, like an outsider.The wine seeped into the clothes, cold and viscous, Su Zhiqiao took a deep breath patiently, and stood stiffly in place, as if waiting for the verdict.

"You all go first." As if Su Mingyuan had finally come to his senses, he lowered his face and scanned Su Zhiqiao's face sharply.

This family feast is too much to eat.When Su Mingyuan got angry, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to say any more, they picked up their coats and bags and left.For a while, only the sound of the chair moving was heard.With red eyes, Han Yue glanced back and forth between Su Zhiqiao and Shen Mu, then walked away with her head down.

In the big box, only Su Mingyuan, Shang Qian, Su Zhiqiao and Shen Mu were left in the blink of an eye.Su Mingyuan raised his eyes to look at Shen Mu: "Amu, you also leave first."

"Uncle, your body is just right, don't be too angry." Shen Mu didn't intend to leave, but persuaded him gently.

"Don't you even listen to me?!" Su Mingyuan slapped the table and said harshly, "Now I want to discipline my own son, you leave here immediately!"

Shen Mu's eyes flashed.Ever since he was brought home by Su Mingyuan at the age of five, Su Mingyuan had never spoken to him in such a serious tone.He faintly felt that something was wrong, Su Mingyuan patted the table again: "Are you still leaving?"

"Shen Mu, you can go first. It's none of your business here." Su Zhiqiao also said.His face was pale, but his eyes were bright, and there was a sense of determination on his face.This is Su Zhiqiao that Shen Mu has never seen before, so dazzling, like a burning flame.

Seeing that Shen Mu didn't move, Su Zhiqiao said angrily, "Hurry up!"

Shen Mu moved his fingers and regained consciousness.He said goodbye to Su Mingyuan and Shang Qian, picked up his coat, and turned to leave.The door closed slowly behind him, blocking out all sound.

The car drove for a while and then stopped on the side of the road. Shen Mu held the steering wheel, his fingers were trembling, he pinched his pulse, and the heart rate went up to at least [-].He gave up his plan to drive and took out his cigarette and lighter.Taking a deep breath, the nicotine allowed the tumbling mood to settle down slowly, and also diluted his urge to turn around.

What are you going to do?Does a young master like Su Zhiqiao really have the guts to come out?I'm afraid that if my parents scold me a few words, I will cry and go home obediently.Shen Mu gritted his teeth viciously, the cigarette butt was chewed badly, and he punched the steering wheel.Venting the sulking anger in his heart, Shen Mu ruthlessly stepped on the gas pedal and left.

Shen Mu turned off his personal mobile phone, and worked overtime automatically every day. In addition to work in his life, he still worked, and he didn't give himself a chance to breathe.For a whole week, he didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Su family. Of course, this didn't prevent those gossips from drifting into his ears.

When Chu Tang entered his office to hand in his resignation letter, he picked it up and signed it without saying a word.

"You didn't even say a word to persuade you to stay?" Chu Tang's peach blossom eyes were full of anger and resentment.

"My temple is small here, so I'm afraid I'll delay Brother Chu." Shen Mu's tone was sincere.

"Hey, you are fascinated by the little goblin." Chu Tang looked closer at his face, and complained half-truthfully, "I have always been the most optimistic about you, just because of the young master of the Su family, the big Shen If you say no, don't you?"

"The Shen family is so big, I can't just ask for it." Shen Mu backed away and pulled the corners of his lips, "In terms of ability, Shen Zhao is higher than me, brother Chu..."

"Stop!" Chu Tang lost the slightest interest in flirting, picked up his resignation letter and left, and when he reached the door, he turned his head and smiled seductively, "I heard that the young master of the Su family came out of the closet, is it for you?"

Chu Tang didn't wait for Shen Mu's answer, closed the door and left.

The wine cabinet, which had always been used as a display, was finally opened, and Shen Mu poured the 83-year-old cognac as beer.The alcohol paralyzed his nerves, and he finally fell to the floor and fell into a drowsy sleep.The dream was not stable either, frame by frame was full of Su Zhiqiao's face, turned over, and dreamed that Su Zhiqiao turned into a yellow and white kitten, turned out its soft belly and acted like a baby, he was unmoved and used Toe off it.The kitten meowed a few times, as if seeing that his hard-hearted heart was unshakable, it left with its head drooping.Shen Mu regretted it again, opened the door and chased after him, outside was a busy intersection, a truck was speeding towards him...

"...!" With a strong sense of weightlessness, Shen Mu suddenly opened his eyes, his heart beating wildly.He lay in the dark for a while, waiting for his heartbeat to gradually calm down, and everything that happened last night finally returned to his mind.He found his palms sweating and his throat smoking with thirst, the aftereffects of a hangover.He got up from the floor and turned on the light, took off his wrinkled coat, and went to get a drink of water from the refrigerator.

After pouring half a bottle of water, the whole person regained consciousness.He breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly a series of cell phone ringtones pierced his eardrums.Shen Mu picked up the phone on the sofa, it was a string of unfamiliar numbers, and the time displayed on the screen was 03:30 in the morning.

Shen Mu picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Shen Mu! Did Qiao Qiao go to your place?" Li Qiuyang asked furiously.

"No. What's wrong with him?" Shen Mu felt uneasy.

"He came out to the family, and was beaten up by his father and kicked out! He must have gone to find you, don't play dumb!" Li Qiuyang was extremely anxious.

Shen Mu's jaw clenched, but his voice was still calm: "Don't look around, did you go to his house to look for it?"

"What are you looking for! He handed over all his wallet and keys, and left by himself! I also searched for the place where he lives, and I didn't go to the bar! Now my aunt and uncle are dying of anxiety! You said he was in the middle of the night I can go anywhere..." Li Qiuyang babbled, and there was a rapid beeping sound from the other end of the phone, and he was hung up.

Shen Mu came back to his senses, only to find that the water bottle was squeezed into a ball by him, and the cold water dripped down his hands, trickling down to the ground.He wiped his face and warned himself not to be interrupted.

Su Zhiqiao came out of the closet, not on impulse.He even ran away from home after a week of tug-of-war.Why push him to this point?Shen Mu regretted it.On that night, he should stand up, hold his hand and tell everyone that he is the man Su Zhiqiao loves.Su Zhiqiao should only hide behind him and be pampered and loved, instead of bearing the disappointment and condemnation of his parents alone, wandering outside alone.

Shen Mu didn't even change his clothes, took his phone and keys and opened the door to go out.When he opened the door, he once imagined that maybe Su Zhiqiao was sitting at the door, like a pitiful little stray cat like he would ask for peace every time he made himself angry.But the door was empty.He was afraid that Su knew where Qiao was hiding, so he simply searched down the corridors, but there was no one there.

In the neighborhood downstairs, he searched round and round, no one was there, but a few stray cats were scared away.

"Who's there?" A flashlight came on, and the night guard watched him vigilantly.

Shen Mu closed his eyes, his eyes couldn't accept the strong light for a while.The security saw his face clearly, recognized the owner, and hurriedly took back the flashlight: "It's Mr. Shen? I'm sorry, what are you looking for when you come down in the middle of the night? Did you lose something?"

"Yes. I lost something." Shen Mu's chest tightened.

"Is it very important? May I help you find it?" the security guard said enthusiastically.

"No need." Shen Mu said shyly, then turned and walked towards the parking lot.

The security guard behind him was still saying: "Mr. Shen, you should be worried. The law and order is not good recently. Just now there was a young man wandering around the gate of the community..."

"What did you say?!" The proprietor, who was still in a daze just now, suddenly turned around and grabbed his skirt.The security guard trembled in fright, and stammered, "It's just a young man with injuries on his face..."

"Where is he now?!"

The security guard pointed at the entrance of the community: "I asked you a few words, and then left."

Tree shadows outside the community, the wind blows, the leaves rub against and sway.Shen Mu chased after a few steps, and saw a person dragging a suitcase in front of him.Su Zhiqiao's walking posture is very recognizable, slow, and has a good posture, but at this time her head is hanging down, like a kitten who has been bullied.

Shen Mu's heart trembled fiercely, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.Su Zhiqiao, who was in front of her, suddenly turned around as if she had a tacit understanding.The two faced each other with a distance of three or four meters.

The dim light of the street lamp shone on Su Zhiqiao's face, and Shen Mu was shocked to find that there were several scars on that white and tender cheek, which looked very dazzling.Su Zhiqiao froze in place, and the cat's eyes looked around in a panic, which was his usual expression when he was nervous.Instead, Shen Mu's heart suddenly settled down, and he raised his foot and walked towards Su Zhiqiao.

Su Zhiqiao let Shen Mu approach, her eyes widened, her body tensed, as if she might run away at any moment.

The closer she got, the more frightened Shen Mu became.There were five bright red fingerprints on Su Zhiqiao's face, and the corners of her lips were also torn. It looked like old wounds were piled on top of new ones.Before Shen Mu could react, he raised his hand to touch it: "Who hit it?"

"Hiss!" Su Zhiqiao shuddered in pain, but held back again, with tears in her eyes not daring to hide, "It's Dad."

"Why did you hit you?" Shen Mu asked.

Su Zhiqiao glared at him, as if complaining about his knowingly asking, but she still replied obediently: "Father wants me to take back the words of coming out, but I refuse. I said... I said that I just like men, and I can't change it." gone."

"Doesn't change after being beaten?" Shen Mu stroked the corner of his lips, the petal-like corners of his lips were cracked, reflecting the white and tender skin, he looked particularly ferocious.

Su Zhiqiao endured the pain and looked at him firmly: "I can't change it....I can't change it when I was 17 years old."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Mu's expression changed, and Su Zhiqiao had already observed his words, threw herself into his arms, and held her waist tightly: "Listen to me first! I was indeed the one who peeped at you at that time." I wanted you to fall in love with me and play tricks on you, but didn’t you end up playing with me? Later, I kissed Li Qiuyang in order to stimulate you and break up with you. In the end, you really ignored me. I spent the whole year of my third year trying to find a way to reconcile with you, but you didn't say a word to me. In the end..."

He didn't know how long he had been brewing these words in his heart. Afraid of being interrupted by Shen Mu, he said them quickly and gasped for several times: "I know that I was too selfish before, and I will change it. I have told my parents Coming out of the closet, we don't have to hide it anymore..."

As he spoke, his chin was pinched by Shen Mu, forcing him to raise his head.Shen Mu's face was cold, no emotion could be seen: "So, since you came out, I should be grateful to Dade, and happily reconcile with you?"

"No..." Su Zhiqiao's eyes were red and her nose was red, and she looked pitiful and ridiculous, "I didn't tell my father that the person I like is you. I just want to come out with my family, and then I can be honest with you." You are together. It doesn't matter if you don't want to forgive me, I have plenty of time, this time I will chase you..."

Shen Mu didn't speak.Su Zhiqiao waited for a while, then asked nervously again: "Shen Mu, is it okay? If you are still angry, we will take our time..."

Shen Mu interrupted him with a straight face: "I don't have time to wait for you to take your time."

"..." Su Zhiqiao was disappointed at first, and then suddenly felt overwhelmed, her cat's eyes slowly lit up: "Shen Mu..."

The huge suitcase fell to the ground with a dull sound.But the master couldn't care about it anymore, Su Zhiqiao hung her whole body in Shen Mu's arms, hugged tightly by a pair of strong arms.The hearts of both of them were beating wildly, and the frequency gradually became the same.

Maybe the spring breeze is intoxicating enough, just a pure kiss has satisfied the reconciled lovers.Under the tree, the two embraced each other tightly, their shadows dragged on the ground, they were already entangled in one place, and could no longer be separated.
