exactly

"However, I just said that I don't regret it, not only because Xi Ling regarded me as a friend from now on, but also because, after that time, he really saved my life, which I will remember for the rest of my life." Vincent took it easy. said.

Chang Qin narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party more and more curiously.

Vincent took a sip of water and continued: "At that time, my father's business grew bigger and bigger. In the business field, there are winners and losers. The more prosperous he is, the more he attracts the jealousy of some people. At that time, the same industry There are a few restaurants that are similar in nature to ours, but their business is far less popular than ours, so the owners of those restaurants have always held grudges against my father, but my father has a high position, they can't get my father down, they can only transfer As for my idea, when I was in college, I had a very rebellious personality. Apart from helping out in restaurants occasionally, I liked clubbing when I had nothing to do. I stayed with some shady gangsters, and my private life was messy. , Often the girl I just met the night before will sleep next to my bed the next day, and I can’t even recognize the other person’s face, so I take it home, and I will be startled when I wake up in the morning.

"It is precisely because I am notoriously playful and careless in my private life that such people with ulterior motives can take advantage of it. One afternoon, when Xi Ling was helping serve dishes in a restaurant, he heard the conversation of several chefs inside. According to him Later, I recalled that the general content was as follows:

'Won't Mr. Ye come to the shop tonight? ' asked one of them.

'[-]% went crazy again, the restaurant is our own, so we don't need to be on guard all day like us, why don't we just come and go whenever we want. ' replied the other with a straight face.

After hearing these words, the first one suddenly laughed meaningfully: "Young Master Ye is probably going to be crazy tonight." '

'How to say? ' the partner next to him asked vigilantly.

"I went to buy goods in the morning, and I ran into the guy in the restaurant next door. He told me quietly that their boss had an appointment with Mr. Ye tonight and brought him a lot of good things. You said, for a man, apart from women, What good can there be, isn't it? '

"The two chefs finished chatting mysteriously, with wretched smiles on their faces. After listening to the conversation between the two, Xi Ling hurriedly asked for leave from the store manager, changed his work clothes, rushed out of the restaurant, and searched for my name in the bar one by one. figure.

"He has worked in my restaurant for nearly half a year, and he is more or less aware of the competition in the same industry. The restaurant owner that the chef said has always been at odds with us. Being courteous is definitely not a good thing, that's why Xi Ling is looking for me from street to street, desperately trying to rescue me, but luckily I will occasionally mention to him some of the bars I often go to, and he will follow what I said I searched for my name, and finally found me in one of the noisy pubs. At that time, I was already drinking out of my mind, and a group of disheveled women surrounded me, pouring wine for me. The boss looked at me with a smile, looking like a villain. I was so drunk that I didn't even know how Xi Ling sent me home. I only remembered that when I woke up the next day, I When I saw him in the restaurant, I found that the corner of his mouth was broken, half of his face was covered with purple bruises, but no matter how hard I tried, he just refused to tell me what happened the night before.

"Later, I found a few friends who were drinking with me that night and stuffed a lot of money, which forced them to speak up and tell the truth. It turned out that the bosses asked me out to set me up. They Almost all of the women I found were sick. No matter which one I brought home, they would be infected with the disease after one night, and they couldn’t be cured. Xi Ling suddenly appeared in the pub, ruining their long-planned plan. Naturally, he refused to let me go easily. A fight was inevitable. It is said that Xi Ling single-handedly singled out a group of punks, and was beaten all over his body. Several bosses saw that he was not easy to mess with, and worried that the matter would become a big problem, so they finally let go Let us go, but the requirement is that Xi Ling must finish the several large glasses of foreign wine on the table. Without further ado, Xi Ling grabbed the glass and poured it into his mouth one by one, watching those big guys have nothing to say Said, finally had to compromise, let him take me away.

"It was only after this incident that I found out that Xi Ling could fight. I always thought that he looked so thin, and when he met violent elements, he would only be bullied. Just like that time when he accidentally spilled soup, he would only fight. I bowed my head and let the Indian be beaten and scolded. Later I realized that it was not that he couldn't make a move, but that he wouldn't make a move easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

"From then on, Xi Ling didn't worry about letting me go out alone. He reduced his work. As long as I had a social event that couldn't be avoided, he would try to accompany me to participate. In fact, his worry was unnecessary. After going through that kind of thing , how could I still go my own way like before, let alone I dare not touch women at all, even if there is occasional skin-to-skin contact, I will use the disinfectant that I carry with me to wash it three times before giving up. Don't worry about me, since he insists on following, I don't bother to refuse him. He is usually taciturn, and I have never seen him make any friends. His father's affairs have hit him too much. I am always bored by such a person. I am worried about him. I will get sick early.

Since he attended the party with me, the smiles on his face have gradually increased, and his personality has obviously become more cheerful. In foreign countries, acquaintances will have a lot of fun. At first, Xi Ling was not used to it, but after getting used to it, I was also able to mix with my friends, and as a result, another unexpected thing happened. "

Chang Qin was already full. Hearing what Vincent said, he put down his chopsticks and waited for the next sentence with a serious face.

Vincent said: "There is a custom in the UK. On New Year's Eve, you give the person next to you a kiss. I don't know if you have heard of it."

Chang Qin nodded. He was very familiar with this custom. Xi Ling personally verified it for him, and Fu Shengyu also mentioned it to him. Now that Vincent said it again, he had to suspect that these three had all stayed in the UK. People, have you experienced an extraordinary New Year's Eve kiss?

Vincent glanced at Chang Qin secretly, and continued to recall: "It was New Year's Eve that night, I took Xi Ling to a pub I often go to, you know, the British are very open-minded about homosexuality, my A few friends saw that I was always with Xi Ling, so they always made jokes about us, saying that we were a couple. During the New Year’s Eve that night, everyone had a crazy time and drank a lot of wine. The countdown just started , I was pushed hard by the crowd, and I turned my head to meet Xi Ling's equally surprised gaze. Before the two of us could react, our bodies were pressed together by the two groups of people behind us. There were bursts of screams: "Kiss one! Kiss one!" The group of people made fun of us, and I don't know why, maybe because I drank too much wine, my mind was very confused, and the ghosts were erratic. I lowered my head and kissed Xi Ling's thin lips. Just like him, his lips were so icy that they could almost drop ice scum, and Xi Ling was bound tightly by the crowd, unable to push Leave me, I can only let me kiss him, my brows are tightly locked, my eyes are wide open, the anger burning in my eyes looks like I want to kill someone, but my brain is confused by the stimulation of alcohol, and I reject Xi Ling Regardless, I cling to his lips and try to pry open his teeth with my tongue. I usually see Xi Ling's thin and weak appearance, and I don't know where he got so much strength. Unable to pry his mouth open, he squeezed his lips tightly, stared at me fiercely without blinking his eyes, I was a little guilty by his burning eyes, and then I came back to my senses and pushed vigorously. Kai has been pressing down on our two groups of people, shouting at them 'enough'!

"It was quiet in the box for a few seconds, and I immediately heard sparse complaints when I followed around. My friends blamed me for not being able to play, which spoiled everyone's interest. Pulling up Xi Ling's sleeves and walking outside, Xi Ling kept a straight face the whole time, his face looked terribly pale, no matter how much I apologized to him, he just refused to speak, worried me to death, until before getting off the car, He suddenly muttered a few words to himself. I didn't hear what he said clearly, so I leaned forward and asked him. He avoided me very repulsively, didn't even look at me, and just replied a very nonsensical sentence. "

"What did he say?" Hearing this, Chang Qin's face changed completely. He frowned, stared at Vincent with a bad expression, and asked very rudely.

Vincent turned a blind eye to his expression, and said calmly: "Xi Ling said: 'If I kiss him like this, will he feel sick?'"

Chang Qin was stunned for a while, then suddenly came to his senses and asked puzzledly, "Him?"

Vincent smiled: "I had the same reaction as you at the time, and I didn't understand at all who the 'he' Xi Ling was talking about. I didn't know until he told me his thoughts for the first time later. Who is that 'he'? He told me that night that he has liked that person for a long time, and it is said that he fell in love with that person when he first saw him on a bench in a certain park."

Hearing this, Chang Qin was stunned for a while, his lower lip trembled, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Vincent smiled extremely gloatingly for a moment, shook his head and teased, "It turns out that you still don't know anything until now, and I really sympathize with you."

Seeing that Chang Qin's face was black for a second, and he was about to hit someone with his fist, Vincent hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, and compromised: "Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you, listen to me."

Vincent looked directly into Chang Qin's eyes, and looked at him with a half-smile: "At that time, after Xi Ling confessed his feelings to me, I gave him an idea, and I said..." His eyes rolled around, with a lot of meaning He said calmly, "I suggest to him, wait until the next New Year's Eve, you take the initiative to kiss the other party, and see how he will react. No matter what the consequences are, as long as you use the New Year's Eve as an excuse, you should be forgiven."

Chang Qin's whole body was shocked like an overcurrent, and what echoed in his mind was that night a few years ago, on the pitch-black balcony, Xi Ling's eyes shining brightly against the light outside the window, and what he left behind. That fleeting kiss on his lips.

He remembered what he said mockingly at Xi Ling at the time: "Didn't Lawyer Xi kiss many people", and he regretted so much that his intestines turned green. The words actually caused great harm to the other party. Chang Qin never dared to guess Xi Ling's feelings for him, and never thought that he would fall in love with him at first sight. Since the New Year's Eve, when he took the initiative to kiss himself, Xi Ling has been He has been testing his feelings all the time, but what he rewarded Xi Ling was hurting one after another.

Thinking of this, Chang Qin let out a long sigh, and his facial features were almost twisted into a ball.

Seeing the other party's gloomy face, Vincent restrained his original banter, patted the back of Chang Qin's hand seriously, and comforted him, "If you want to make amends, it's still too late."

Chang Qin looked at the other party, turning his mind a thousand times, going through one thought after another, and finally suddenly asked inexplicably, "Do you know where that guy named Fang Jinwen lives?"

Vincent was confused by him, blinked, and asked in confusion: "What?"

"Do you know?" Chang Qin asked without answering, and raised his voice unconsciously.

"I know, I know, what's the matter?" Vincent stammered a little from his fright, and replied falteringly.

Chang Qin took out a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth, got up and pulled Vincent out: "It's too late, take me to find him!"

They both drove in the same car and went straight to the address Vincent said. Chang Qin made a fool of himself and tricked the security guards, ran into the community, took the elevator to the floor where Fang Jinwen lived, and found the owner of his room. The house number, ring the doorbell on the wall.

After waiting for a long time before the people inside opened the door, Chang Qin lost his patience and knocked on the door repeatedly with his palm, knocking on the anti-theft door loudly. The noise was amplified dozens of times in the empty corridor. The neighbor was very disturbed, opened the door and saw two well-dressed young men standing opposite, and asked angrily, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, does Fang Jinwen live here?" Chang Qin turned his head, withdrew his hostility, and asked politely.

"I saw him go out this afternoon, so I guess he hasn't come back yet." The neighbor replied blankly.

The two thanked their neighbors and decided to go back downstairs to guard Fang Jinwen.

"Hello." Vincent was sitting on the stone steps beside the flower bed, fiddling with a few small stones on the ground boredly. He nudged Chang Qin's arm with his elbow and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of running to find Fang Jin?" Hear, how did he offend you?"

Chang Qin looked up at the tall building above his head, but did not answer directly: "Look at this community, the garden design in the community, the decoration in the corridors, you can tell at a glance that this is a high-end community, and the housing prices must not be cheap. Fang Jinwen just A university teacher who has only worked for a few years, how can he afford such an expensive house, unless..."

"You mean?" Vincent frowned alertly.

"By the way." Chang Qin looked at him and asked curiously, "How do you know that Fang Jinwen lives here?"

"Oh." Vincent smiled, "It's not the last time he framed Xi Ling. I have always held grudges, so I asked my friend to check his residence, thinking that I would beat him up after returning to China to calm down, but as soon as I returned to China, I was arrested." Things have been restrained, if you hadn't mentioned Fang Jinwen suddenly, I would have almost forgotten about him."

Chang Qin frowned and thought for a while: "When you asked your friend to look up his address, did you ever notice who owns this house?"

"Of course it was Fang Jinwen's own name, otherwise how could we find out." Vincent replied, and then asked in confusion, "What's the matter? You've been acting mysterious all night."

"I'm suspicious..." Chang Qin was talking, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he rushed out like an arrow off the string. He ran to the back of a slender figure not far away in two or three steps, raised his legs, and rushed The man kicked hard on the back.

Vincent looked dumbfounded. He hurriedly stood up and rushed over. Fang Jinwen, who they had been waiting for, was kicked down in the grass, with black-rimmed glasses hanging crookedly under the bridge of his nose, and one hand covering his painful back. Rolling on his back from side to side, he cursed and said, "Damn you, who are you, you use violence in broad daylight, I want to call the police, I must call the police, let the police arrest you bastard!"

"Report it!" Chang Qin roared. He kicked hard just now and swallowed the dust in his mouth suddenly. He spit, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said viciously, "I asked you to call the police and go to the police station. , Let’s clarify things one by one.”

Hearing this familiar voice, Fang Jinwen's whole body trembled, and he stopped fighting immediately. He straightened his glasses on the bridge of his nose, raised his head halfway, and stared blankly at the person standing in front of him like a pine tree. .

I saw Chang Qin with his arms crossed, half of his face hidden in the dim light on the side of the road, the expression on his face was cloudy and uncertain, and the bright light flickered in his deep eyes, like two sharp knives, stabbing mercilessly Jin was lying down on the heart of the grass in a state of embarrassment, he blinked, and a very shallow sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his face was tense, and his face was so cold that a layer of frost could form at any time, he moved his lips , The syllables he spit out can also drip into ice, just listen to him say: "From how you framed Xi Ling, to how you became Zhang Mingyuan's lover, and how his dirty money that cannot be laundered was transferred to your account. Count everything, do you think it's okay, Teacher Fang?"
