unspeakable ice

"There are things you dare not do?" Yu Xiaolong mocked with a sneer, he let go of Xia Cong, and let him lie half dead on the ground.

"Then you think highly of me... I don't dare much." Xia Cong was about to laugh, but he choked suddenly when he inhaled, coughing and wheezing, and it took him a while to calm down. Much higher than when entering the door.

Yu Xiaolong turned to leave, but Xia Cong grabbed the hem of his clothes, shook his head slightly, "Don't throw it away, I have to look for it if I throw it away."

"It's not yours." Yu Xiaolong flung it away and tightened his grip on the ring, "If I could remember when I left, I would definitely ask you to come back."

"Then guess...will I give it to you?"

Yu Xiaolong gave him a condescending look, which meant that in his opinion, this was a question that didn't need to be asked at all. At that time, Xia Cong was so easy to talk, and hundreds of thousands could stay with them and ignore them.

He should wish that he would make a condition, save trouble after opening, and leave cleanly, just a useless ring, Yu Xiaolong believed that as long as he opened his mouth, he would definitely throw it back to him very readily.

In a moment of negligence, keeping it became a clumsy prop for him to show affection and win pity.

After such an interruption, I remembered that I called Luo Shaoqin, it was past one o'clock, and the other party had already turned off his phone and fell asleep, and was going to throw Xia Cong out again. After venting, Yu Xiaolong became less confident.

He threw the man on the sofa again, this time he was more careful, and was always on guard against his sneak attack again, but it was obviously unnecessary, Xia Cong mumbled something in a daze, Yu Xiaolong didn't want to get too close to him, so he didn't go listen.

He hugged the quilt from the bedroom and threw it on him, and found a box of antipyretics, which hadn't expired, and he didn't plan to buy them at this point after the expiration date. He believed that Xia Cong, a scourge that lasted for thousands of years, would definitely be fine. past.

He put hot water and medicine on the tea table, just give it to him, no matter whether he put it in his mouth, eat it or not, Yu Xiaolong glanced at it, went into the bedroom and closed the door.

He was taken in not because of a soft heart, nor because Xia Cong's connivance of letting him beat him without moving moved him, but because he knew that for a person like him, if there is any difference when he walks out of here, he will be blamed when he turns back. him, and use it as a reason to continue pestering him.

In the past, Cai Gan and the others taught him a lesson for deliberately not fighting back, and the time he broke his finger for malicious provocation was also...

Same means.

Same purpose.

Because none of the things he bought with money, and those who voluntarily climbed on his bed, dared to throw a fist at each other like him.

He is tired of living a comfortable and boring life, misses the feeling of being abused, and enjoys the process of conquering, which only he can bring to him.

After thinking about this point clearly, Yu Xiaolong felt that everything was really fucked up.

In this case, why did you lie to him in the past?

Yu Xiaolong woke up before six o'clock and didn't sleep all night. He didn't want to say anything more to Xia Cong, so he went out while he was still asleep, and left him a note telling him to get out of bed when he woke up. A warning, don't come to him again.

He went to the breakfast stall he frequented and ate two steamed buns with a bowl of salted tofu nao. After eating, he didn’t feel much better. He thought that the feeling of emptiness that couldn’t be realized was due to hunger, but it turned out that he was not. Eager to eat.

Wutian usually opens at [-]:[-] pm and closes at around [-]:[-] am, so Shi Jie should still be asleep at this time.

Yu Xiaolong didn't plan to go to the company today, he worked with Wang Haoyang and the others for a few days and got some results. Originally, he planned to stay at home today and try to make a model first.

He had nowhere to go, Shi Jie gave him a key five days ago, and he was going to go there later.

This is the only time of the day when Bar Street is the quietest. The long streets are deserted, only the morning mist fills the air.

When Yu Xiaolong opened the door and went in, Xiao Zhou was sitting alone on the bar counter, he was so frightened by the sudden movement that he sat up, turned around and saw him, and lay back sleepily.

Yu Xiaolong glanced at him, didn't speak, walked to the sofa in the booth, folded his clothes and lay down, there was something in his stomach, and the smoky heat in the room didn't seem to dissipate at all, he suddenly felt sleepy.

Xiao Zhou chose to start cleaning at this time. It wasn't his job at first. Today, I don't know what kind of life I can't think about. I don't sleep here in the morning and I go crazy.

Yu Xiaolong coughed, and he barely restrained his movements, but the sound of bottles and jars colliding with broken glass still reached his ears from time to time.

Yu Xiaolong wanted to get up and beat him, but as soon as he moved, Xiao Zhou shrugged his shoulders and looked back at him nervously, Yu Xiaolong endured it, fell back down again, his arm covering his eyes, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Zhou dawdled for a while, sat on the sofa opposite him, and talked for about ten minutes before saying, "Brother Long, can I...can I ask you a question?"

"About Luo Shaoqin?" Yu Xiaolong didn't open his eyes.

"Damn... trough?" Xiao Zhou's face was filled with shock and the panic of being seen through at a glance, "You, how do you know what I want to ask?!"

Yu Xiaolong is not good at beating around the bush, the disappointment of not being able to get through the phone yesterday made him decide to give Luo Shaoqin a ride, "It's not how I know, but we all know except Shi Jie."

"what do you know?"

"We know what you don't want us to know."

"..."

There was no movement on the opposite side for a long time, Yu Xiaolong opened his eyes, glanced at him sideways, and found that he was staring at a bottle opener on the table in a daze, dumbfounded.

"Hey." He snapped his fingers at him, "Is there anything else you want to ask? Don't ask, don't disturb my sleep."

"I just can't figure it out a little bit." Xiao Zhou leaned his chest against the table and said in a low voice, "Brother Long, you have experience, what do you think... what does he like about me? He has no money, no power, and no looks. Not as good-looking as you."

"..."

Xiao Zhou didn't realize what he said at all, and was still murmuring to himself with his head down, "...the picture must be the same, I obviously have nothing, and it's not like he has no choice."

If experience means that he also has nothing and Xia Cong fell in love with him back then, Yu Xiaolong doesn't think he has it. His situation is completely different from what Xiao Zhou encounters now, but it doesn't prevent him from answering this question.

"You're fine." Yu Xiaolong said.

Xiao Zhou drooped his brows and eyes, still not very confident.

Yu Xiaolong coughed lightly, "The person you like is also pretty good."

"Who, who said I fell in love with him!" Xiao Zhou seemed to have his tail trampled on, "You must not know this! I, I, I don't, don't talk nonsense! I only think of him as a friend... How is it possible... ..."

Yu Xiaolong didn't expect his reaction to be so big, so he glanced at him, and this glance made Xiao Zhou's heart shudder, he panicked and took out a garbage bag from where, got up and began to clean up again.

"What are you two doing, you wake up so early?" Shi Jie opened the door and came in, glanced at the sofas on both sides, "Are you talking?"

"Take him away, I'll sleep." Yu Xiaolong rolled over and faced inside.

Shi Jie waved to Xiao Zhou, telling him to go back to sleep quickly, how sleepy he was, Xiao Zhou hadn't recovered from Yu Xiaolong's astonishing words just now, and was rushed and pushed by Shi Jie go out.

"I'll show you something." Shi Jie unlocked the phone, tapped it a few times, and sent it to Yu Xiaolong, and dimmed the screen for him very thoughtfully.

"..." Yu Xiaolong waved it away, saying that he would watch it when he got up, thinking it was some kind of sand sculpture video sharing, Shi Jie could tweet him more than 30 times a day on Weibo.

"Go to bed after watching, I'll bring you a blanket." He put the phone in Yu Xiaolong's hand, Yu Xiaolong opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was not a video, but a piece of news.

He hurriedly browsed through it. Although it was in the financial section, it was not obscure to read, and the title was prominent. He suspected that Xingming Group's capital chain was broken and wanted to sell tens of billions of projects.

Yu Xiaolong sat up and read the report again carefully. It was not long and it was put together with other real estate news. I don't know how Shi Jie saw it.

"You look down and say that it won't affect their company's performance next year. Selling so much is just to optimize the asset structure, who are you fooling? Let's go." Shi Jie has learned a lot from running the bar in the past few years.

"What is this called? The wicked will be rewarded with evil." He poured himself a cup of coffee and sat across from him with his legs crossed. "I don't know if his rich father-in-law and mother-in-law can save him this time."

Shi Jie didn't know the reason, he only knew that Xia Cong and Yu Xiaolong broke up at that time because they wanted to marry a rich lady, but Yu Xiaolong was inappropriate, thinking of Xia Cong's words of not daring.

I didn’t dare before, but now I dare, why, does it have something to do with this?

What does the sale of such a large-scale project mean? Real estate companies have a large demand for funds and a high debt ratio. It is normal for them to need to recover funds during operations.

Did Xia Cong win? This is the result he and Xia Yi hoped to see?

Shi Jie saw that his face was uncertain, so he quickly bypassed the topic, and turned to talking about the man who was arrested by the police yesterday, as if showing him the news was purely to refresh him.

"That kid knows you, and Uncle Yin. It seems that he is also a gangster in this area, but I was surprised when I saw it, or there are people in the superior like he said." Shi Jie said, "Would he really be eyeing us?" gone?"

"Scared?" Yu Xiaolong looked at him.

"Afraid, why not? I am different now than before. I have a family and a family. You are also counted in my mouth."

"Don't take advantage of me."

Shi Jie smiled, and said: "But I'm afraid, I'm afraid, if I encounter what happened last night again, I will still do it like this. I can't let those bastards open their mouths on me."

"It's useless to be afraid, let's talk when we come." Yu Xiaolong said, "You take Zhao Fei well."

"I'm worried about you." Shi Jie emphasized, "I have Xiao Ding and the others here, and the brothers used to be able to make a call if they had something to do. You live alone, or don't go to the company for a few days, and wait to see the situation. "

Yu Xiaolong wanted to say that it was useless to worry, because he and Shi Jie had too hard personalities, and they couldn't do it without compromise. This kind of thing will catch up sooner or later, if not this time, there will be a next time.

But thinking of the harm his recklessness and paranoia had brought to those around him, Yu Xiaolong responded in a rare way, trying to avoid going out these few days, staying in his shop when he had nothing to do, and bringing work with him.

On that day, Yu Xiaolong showed his attitude and didn't leave until five days after the opening. Shi Jie sent him back in person.

At this point, Xia Cong should leave no matter what, unless he has not woken up for a day, then Yu Xiaolong will not hesitate to send him to the hospital, and then call Luo Shaoqin, or ask Song Ye who he sent to the plane yesterday to land Is it gone?

He opened the door, and the key stayed in the lock for a second. Through the crack of the door, he saw the light of the living room.

Xia Cong didn't leave, he was in the kitchen, like many times when Yu Xiaolong came home in the past, there was not too much, not too little, just enough for the two of them to have a meal on the table, and they were all his favorites. .
