stay away from love
Chapter 4
Ling Xiang never expected that after that night, the Seven Miserable Seven Lives would just disappear.
At first, he thought it was the time when the two went online staggered, but after deliberately adjusting the online time, he found that they still couldn't meet.
For a day or two, he could still comfort himself that maybe Jiang Yue was busy with something, and slowly he began to panic.The online time has been extended again and again, but the light in front of Qi Mi Qi Sheng's name is always dim.
Gradually Ling Xiang didn't dare to go offline. He was always worried that the other party would go online the moment he quit the game, and he was afraid that he would miss something if he turned around; You will be awakened by the sound effects of the game very quickly; even if you leave for a short time, you must carefully check the system records to confirm whether there is any system news that Seven Deaths and Seven Lives are online.
However, after a week passed, he found nothing, and everyone in the guild realized that something was wrong.
"Ah Xiang, have you been offline all this time?"
"How is it possible?" Ling Xiang replied, and vigorously squeezed out the nearly burnt cigarette in his hand, and lit another one.
At the same time, the phone rang, and Ling Xiang saw the name of "Ye Tingshu" on the caller ID at a glance. He hesitated for a while before answering the phone, and responded in a low voice: "Hello?"
"Ah, what happened?"
Ling Xiang pretended to be stupid: "What?"
"You have never been offline." Ye Tingshu pointed out directly.
Ling Xiang fell silent. He knew that he should deny it, but he didn't know why he didn't say it.Maybe it's because I'm really tired.
Unable to hear his response, Ye Tingshu called out worriedly: "Ah Xiang?"
"Huh?" Ling Xiang responded unconsciously.
Ye Tingshu softened his voice and asked again: "What happened?"
After another long silence, Ling Xiang finally said in a low voice: "...I don't know."
He really didn't know what happened, he couldn't see any signs, and suddenly he disappeared.Maybe it's still my fault, too impulsive, too bad-tempered...
He didn't care about what else Ye Tingshu said there. He hung up the phone casually and buried his head in his arms. But always in vain.
There is only one way left.
Ling Xiang took a breath and sat up, looking at his mobile phone, hesitating for a long time before digging out the familiar number from the call log, but never registered in the address book, and sent a text message: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Go online, are you busy recently?"
It was only when "Send Successfully" was displayed on the screen of his mobile phone that he felt his heart beat uncontrollably faster.
I always felt that I would receive a reply text message at any time, but another day and night passed, but Jiang Yue never replied.Occasionally the phone rang, and it was also a call or a text message from Ye Tingshu.
Ling Xiang was afraid that she would come to her because she was too worried, so she gritted her teeth and logged out, nestled in front of the computer and looked at the icon of "Endless Online" on the desktop, but became more restless.
In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, so Ling Xiang took the mobile phone and clicked randomly, and every time he found Jiang Yue's number, he hesitated to press it.
He didn't know what reason he could use to make this call.After connecting, ask the other party why they are not online?He is not qualified.The more I understand this, the more clearly I realize that I really lost the account left by that person.
Finding out the familiar number again, Ling Xiang curled up helplessly on the chair, and inadvertently touched the confirmation button when he lowered his head. He was stunned for a long time before hurriedly looking at his phone, only to find that he had indeed dialed Jiang Yue's number.He was so frightened that he lost his mind, and when he wanted to hang up the phone, he hesitated.
Perhaps such courage will never be found again anyway.
He looked at the screen for a while before carefully putting the phone to his ear.
The room at dawn was dark and silent, as if only the beating of the heart and the monotonous sound in the ears remained in the world.
Ling Xiang kept his head down, bit his lips slowly, and then covered his mouth with his hands.In the end, as if he couldn't hold it back anymore, the hand holding the phone began to tremble until he couldn't hold it anymore, and let the phone slip from his palm, like tears in his eyes.
There was still a connection tone on the phone, but no one answered.
When Jiang Yue returned to the hotel, he heard his cell phone ringing at the door of the room. He hastily took out his room card to open the door, and just as he stepped in, the ringing stopped.
He ran to the bed and dug the phone out from under the pillow. Sure enough, the screen was pitch black and the battery was dead.
That's right, I forgot to bring it when I went out, and left it there for three days without turning off the phone or charging it, plus the incoming calls during this period, it's amazing that there is still electricity.
Sighing helplessly, Jiang Yue replaced the mobile phone with a spare battery, and at the same time picked up the landline in the room to make a call: "Mo Qin, I found the mobile phone, it really fell in the room."
Sure enough, there was a burst of disdain on the phone, Jiang Yue pressed the phone switch, and smiled and retorted: "I got up too early that day, and I was too late to go out, I'm not awake yet, don't you..."
After that, it was blocked by the prompt on the phone screen.Jiang Yue stared blankly at his mobile phone, until the person on the other side of the phone called several times in a row, he came back to his senses in a trance, and only said in a hurry, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, hang up first, you should rest early", and then Just hang up the phone.
The message on the phone screen left him speechless in surprise.One unread text message, 46 missed calls.
He can guess that he will see missed calls or text messages after turning on the phone, but the only people who usually call him are the editors of the magazine and a few friends.The magazine had already notified Mo Qin on his phone, and those few friends contacted occasionally on weekdays. He couldn't think of anyone and for what reason, there would be 46 missed calls on his mobile phone.
So he hesitated for a long time before opening the text message.
It was from Ling Xiang. It was a very simple sentence, so simple... that Jiang Yue couldn't help but wonder, when this person sent a text message, would there be unwillingness and awkwardness on his face?
But then Jiang Yue realized something was wrong, and hurriedly called up the communication records to check the missed calls. The word "Ling Xiang" on the caller column made his eyes go dark, and he almost threw the phone away.
How anxious was that person to keep calling himself?Jiang Yue didn't dare to think about it, he didn't even dare to think about how Ling Xiang would react and what he would do when faced with a number that no one answered.
"Endless Online", Seven Destroyers and Seven Lives... Of course he knows what the only intersection between that person and himself is.
Just because I knew it, I was even more afraid.
Jiang Yue took a deep breath, and said to himself to calm himself down: "Don't be afraid, the phone rang just now, it's okay..."
Words seemed to have real power, and his heartbeat slowly calmed down. Jiang Yue picked up the phone again and pressed the callback button.
However, there was no answer over there, so Jiang Yue couldn't help becoming anxious again, walking up and down the room, and finally when he was struggling to hang up, he heard a soft beep and got connected.
After taking a long breath, Jiang Yue quickly called out: "Ling Xiang?"
There was a soft voice from over there, but Jiang Yue couldn't hear what he said clearly, so he couldn't help calling again: "Ling Xiang?"
"Hmm..." This time it was finally a clear response, although it was too short to hear the emotion.
Jiang Yue heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I forgot to bring my mobile phone before. I just heard the ringtone when I came back, and the phone ran out of battery before I answered it."
"En." Ling Xiang replied again, but he didn't seem to know what to say, and remained silent.
Jiang Yue scratched his head, recalled the content of the text message, and forced out a sentence: "I've been out for a few days, so I haven't played the game, and I'll be back in two days. I forgot to tell you before, sorry, sorry, Go back and treat you to dinner."
That's what he said, but Jiang Yue knew that he didn't forget, but he didn't feel that he had to explain to anyone when he went out.
He spends at least half of the time running outside throughout the year, and he has never explained to anyone.It's just that at this time, in order to appease Ling Xiang, he said the words of apology smoothly, but in the end he really felt a little sorry.
This person... probably also went crazy.Unconsciously thinking of those 46 missed calls, Jiang Yue suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Aha, guess where I am now?" As if deliberately ignoring the strange feeling, Jiang Yue changed the subject while taking off his shoes and going to bed.
"Huh?" Ling Xiang's slightly puzzled voice came from the phone, and it took him a long time to hear him ask in a low voice, "Aren't you in the city?"
"Not here."
"domestic?"
"Not here either."
Ling Xiang fell silent. Jiang Yue thought he was thinking, but after waiting for a while, he didn't speak, and finally couldn't help asking: "Hello?"
Ling Xiang was still silent, and he said after a long time: "The world is so big, how should I guess?"
Although the tone was still flat and even a bit depressed, Jiang Yue felt that he could hear a hint of arrogance belonging to the sound of Luna in the game, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "I'm in Verona."
"……Romeo and Juliet?"
"Bingo! Ah──Romeo, why are you Romeo?"
Ling Xiang seemed to be amused by Jiang Yue's impromptu performance, and there was a touch of emotion in his voice: "Are you Juliet?"
Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Oh, I'm wrong, let's do it all over again. Oh──Juliet, why are you Juliet~"
Ling Xiang seemed to laugh, although he was not sure, Jiang Yue's mood improved uncontrollably, and he sighed: "This is a suitable place for dating."
"Are you going to date?"
Hearing Ling Xiang's question, Jiang Yue couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "How is that possible."
"Business trip, or tourism?"
"Guess?" Jiang Yue's eyebrows became brighter, and when he found Ling Xiang fell silent again, he realized that he was too relaxed, as if he was chatting with his best friend.
Laughing a bit awkwardly, he automatically solved the mystery: "It's considered a business trip, and it's also a tourist."
"It's a good job." Ling Xiang commented.
"Fortunately, writing articles for travel magazines, to put it mildly, I'm a freelancer."
"Doesn't it sound good?"
Jiang Yue's voice was lowered, deliberately looking pitiful and mysterious: "Unemployed."
"I'm the kind of vagrant."
The first time Jiang Yue heard him talk about his situation, he couldn't help but want to ask in depth, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was not appropriate, so he held back again.
Ling Xiang didn't continue talking, and after a while, he brought the topic back: "Is it fun?"
Hearing his question, Jiang Yue knew that he didn't intend to continue. Although he was a little disappointed, he followed his words and responded: "Ancient castles in the Middle Ages, stretches of forests, towering bell towers, various churches, The Colosseum... the most desirable things in the ancient European cities can be found here."
"That's great." Ling Xiang responded after he stopped.
In the faint response, there is no emotion that matches the meaning of the words at all, as if the person who came alive during the conversation just now fell silent again.
Jiang Yue couldn't tell whether he was sad or lost, but couldn't help but wanted to continue: "When I went to Juliet's former residence, I wanted to climb that balcony wholeheartedly, but unfortunately my friend stopped me.
"There are vows of eternal love on the door, wall and even on the ground. It takes courage for single people to walk in.
"The church here is very beautiful, with bronze reliefs, double-decorated cloisters, and windows with rose patterns... When you walk in, there will be a faint solemnity, even if you are not a believer, you can't help but become devout."
"very nice……"
Ling Xiang responded in a low voice again, seeming to sigh a little bit, but also a little bit confused, Jiang Yue listened to it, and felt as if something had been stirred in his heart, he stopped the topic, and then sighed.
"Yeah, it's a really good place. You must come and see it if you have the chance."
Ling Xiang smiled, but there was no laughter in that low, almost inaudible laughter, instead it was full of bitterness, after a long while he said: "What else?"
"Also... The Arena of Verona is the second largest arena in Italy after Rome, the remains of an amphitheater in the ancient Roman era. This happens to be the opera festival here, and I just read "Carmen" these days. I listened to it several times." Jiang Yue could naturally hear that Ling Xiang was deliberately changing the subject, but he didn't care, and continued to follow Ling Xiang's meaning.
"There is also the ancient Roman theater on the hill. After watching the performance, you can see the whole city from above. You will see red tiles and white walls, shaded by green trees, and towering bell towers. The Adige River meanders through it. , you can hardly find the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis.”
All kinds of calming memories in the memory surfaced again, Jiang Yue stopped slowly and closed his eyes: "Is it a good place?"
Ling Xiang over there didn't respond for a long time. When Jiang Yue opened his eyes again, he couldn't help taking down the phone to look at it. The call was still on, and the call time had exceeded half an hour.
The people over there were still silent, Jiang Yue accidentally thought of the international long-distance call charges, couldn't help sighing, and called out: "Ling Xiang?"
There was still silence over there, and Jiang Yue listened carefully for a while, trying to figure out what was going on over there, only then did he faintly hear a very light snoring, which seemed to mean that the people over there had fallen asleep unknowingly caught.
"Ling..." Jiang Yue was about to call again, but stopped when the words came out.
I don't know what's going on with the people over there. Because of a game account, they can even be so sad that they don't want to live anymore. They haven't seen Qi Mi Qi Sheng go online these days, and I'm afraid they will be so disturbed that they can't sleep.
His heart softened unconsciously. Hearing the shallow snoring on the phone, Jiang Yue was actually a little reluctant to hang up. It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that he woke up suddenly and hung up the phone in a panic.
When he opened the door, the woman standing outside smiled at him and leaned over to kiss him, with the fragrance of bath milk.Jiang Yue took a step back, but he didn't refuse. He just pulled him into the room and closed the door behind him.
After closing the door, the man became even more presumptuous. He put his arms around Jiang Yue's neck, rubbed his cheek against his cheek a few times, and finally kissed his lips.
Jiang Yue pushed the person away subconsciously: "Wait a minute, Mo Qin."
The woman named Mo Qin let go of her hand and looked at him in surprise, her eyes turned around and landed on Jiang Yue's mobile phone, she finally shrugged, turned around and sat on the bed, and teased, "I said why did you hang up on my phone?" Well, when you find your phone, you find that you are in a hurry to find a good friend these days?"
Jiang Yue's eyebrows twitched inexplicably, and finally sat down beside her with a smile: "So what?"
Mo Qin exaggeratedly sighed: "Having a new friend, forgetting the old one, my heart will be broken." After finishing speaking, he fell into Jiang Yue's arms with a look of grief.
It is undeniable that Mo Qin is a beauty.With elegant eyebrows, a frown and a smile are enough to ecstasy, such a beauty threw himself into his arms, Jiang Yue naturally hugged her, turned over and pressed her on the bed: "Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, haven't you heard of it?"
Mo Qin dodged sideways, sat up a little against the pillow, and looked at Jiang Yue with a smile: "This kind of insincere flirting can be avoided, you look really boring tonight."
Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows.
When a woman puts her down on the bed and says that looking at you is not interesting, the average man should do something to get back his position.But Mo Qinyu has been friends with him for many years and a good partner at work. The two have a good understanding in bed, and more importantly, they are both sober enough to not get entangled, so Jiang Yue doesn't intend to forcefully continue.
Turning over to the other side, sitting there side by side with Mo Qin, he subconsciously touched the cigarette holder.
"It's the first time I've seen you like this. You're listless and absent-minded." Mo Qin looked at him as if looking at a novelty, and after a while, he took out the cigarette in Jiang Yue's hand and extinguished it directly on the bedside table: "Even my last Forget about the fact that I hate men smoking in bed, it’s just a look of distress for someone.”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Yue scolded with a smile, a vague thought flashed by at that moment, he subconsciously wanted to touch the cigarette case again, but Mo Qin grabbed his hand.
"Say! Who are you thinking of now?"
A delicate and pale face flashed in his mind, Jiang Yue startled himself, and quickly distanced himself from Mo Qin: "What are you crazy about, of course I miss you when I look at you."
Mo Qin stared into his eyes and smiled brightly, finally let go of Jiang Yue's hand and said, "It's fine if you don't admit it, it's really your strength to open your eyes and tell lies."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Yue couldn't laugh or cry, and finally confessed: "Okay...it's a man."
Mo Qin's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he said after a long while: "God, you were spoiled by those people from the magazine!"
"Hmm, didn't you tell me that as long as you have feelings, men and women are not a problem?"
Mo Qin turned her head and thought for a while: "That's what you say, but... my dear, did we have sex three days ago?"
Jiang Yue laughed out loud: "So what?"
Mo Qin didn't answer right away, but only asked after he finished laughing, "What kind of person is that?"
"I don't know." The smile on Jiang Yue's lips faded.
"Um?"
"I've only met him once, and he looks good."
Mo Qin turned his head to look at him: "You only see his face?"
"Probably a very arrogant person."
"perhaps?"
"Now he suppresses himself too much," Jiang Yue recalled the fleeting, almost inaudible laughter on the phone, "he is always in a state of collapse at any time, which makes people feel very anxious. "
Mo Qin frowned: "What's going on?"
Jiang Yue leaned back, sighed, and described everything that happened since he bought the game account in detail. Mo Qin was a little careless at the beginning, but later his expression became a little dignified.
It wasn't until Jiang Yue stopped that she let out a breath, hesitated for a long time, and said, "It sounds like you are just overflowing with sympathy and pity him? It's not love at all."
Jiang Yue raised his lips: "Is it you who keeps saying I'm in love with someone?"
Mo Qin was taken aback: "Huh?"
"I'm sure you said I was in love with him. I just hung up and was thinking about him."
The corners of Mo Qin's mouth twitched slightly, and in the end, he simply pressed his whole body onto Jiang Yue's body and pinched his neck: "You're playing tricks on me!"
Jiang Yue laughed heartlessly: "I didn't say anything, it's because you think too much!"
"Obviously you are misleading me!" Mo Qin replied angrily, let go of Jiang Yue, but still leaned on him, "But it seems that you really care about him. Ah││This mood is too subtle, there is always It's a bad premonition that you will lose to a man at any time!"
"Who would fall in love with someone who has only met once? What's more, he has someone he loves deeply, and even committed suicide for that person. It is impossible to fall in love with others. Am I the kind of fool who asks for trouble?"
Mo Qin thought for a while before nodding vigorously: "That's right. Don't think too much about it. You have nothing to do with him. You can't control what he does. Even if he committed suicide successfully, it's not your responsibility."
Jiang Yue smiled, but did not answer.He knew that Ling Xiang was not his responsibility, and he was clear enough to know that he and Ling Xiang were no more than two disjoint parallel lines, but the more he understood, the more he cared.Maybe it's really like what Mo Qin said, the sympathy is overflowing.
After thinking about it randomly for a while, he seemed to think of something, and said, "What is suitable to buy as a souvenir, why don't you go shopping with me tomorrow?"
Mo Qin was slightly stunned, and then expressed her contempt: "Who said that I was not an idiot just now? Are you really planning to engage in homosexuality?"
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes back at her: "It's for apologizing. I forgot to tell him when I went out. It made him nervous for so long. I'm sorry."
He took it for granted, and Mo Qin didn't say anything else, but Jiang Yue understood that this was just... an excuse.
In the end, Jiang Yue bought an exquisite mobile phone strap with a bronze figure in the shape of Romeo hanging on it, full of heroism and with a brilliant smile.
The expression on Ling Xiang's face seemed distorted when he received it, but he still said "thank you" and accepted it.
It was Wednesday afternoon, and there were not many people in the open-air coffee shop. The two of them were chatting in the corner without saying a word. Most of the time, Jiang Yue was talking, and Ling Xiang was absent-minded. It blocked Jiang Yue so much that he couldn't laugh or cry.
"I see, you are happy to see me speechless, right?"
Ling Xiang was innocent: "You earn your living by writing travel notes. I am expressing my doubts from the standpoint of a pure reader. You can't accuse me of finding fault."
I haven't talked about this point yet, but you said it yourself. This is clearly looking for trouble, brother.The villain in Jiang Yue's heart burst into tears again, but his mood was much higher than usual.
Whether it was the first meeting, in the game, or on the phone, Ling Xiang gave him the same feeling as he told Mo Qin, always suppressing himself.Even if there is an occasional hint of joy and anger, it is quickly wiped away, as if in his opinion, such emotions are blasphemy to the lost lover.
But this afternoon Ling Xiang seemed much more energetic.He was still embarrassing himself, absent-minded, and smiled very lightly, but finally smiled.
Jiang Yue thought, without the dead person, Ling Xiang must have been a very dazzling existence.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Yue's gaze, Ling Xiang looked up at him, uncomfortably took out his credit card and asked the waiter to pay the bill: "It's getting late, let's go."
The waiter came over, and Jiang Yue quickly took out a few banknotes and stuffed them into his hand: "I'll just come, I agreed to treat you to dinner to make amends, and it would be cheaper for me to replace it with coffee."
Ling Xiang didn't care about it, stood up and walked out, while waving the mobile phone string hanging on his finger: "Thank you then, and thank you for the gift."
Jiang Yue smiled, and followed behind: "When I was shopping over there, I wanted to buy ice cream the most, but unfortunately I couldn't bring it back."
Ling Xiang couldn't help but turn around: "Although I heard that Verona's ice cream is good, but I'm not a child..."
Before he finished speaking, he bumped into a person. It was too late for Jiang Yue to remind him, so he quickly reached out to help, lest Ling Xiang fall backward due to the collision.
There was a burst of cursing from the other side, Jiang Yue saw that Ling Xiang was standing still, so he turned his head to look, and only had time to see clearly that the woman who was bumped was a woman in her fifties, when she saw the other side's face change, and raised his hand, "Pa " with a sound and slapped Ling.
There was an instant silence inside and outside the coffee shop.
Ling Xiang's face was tilted to one side after being beaten, and he stood still for a while before turning back, but he lowered his head and apologized: "I'm sorry."
The woman acted as if she didn't hear it, and raised her hand to slap her again. Jiang Yue subconsciously grabbed her hand: "Auntie, it's his fault that he bumped into you, but he also apologized, you don't have to hit someone Bar?"
The woman struggled for a while and found that she couldn't break free, so she simply sneered: "Who knows if he did it on purpose? It's my fate that I didn't get hit to death. If I was hit to death, what's the use of apologizing?"
"You are making trouble out of no reason, why did he bump into it on purpose..." The other party was aggressive, Jiang Yue was also a little angry, and wanted to reason again, but Ling Xiang pulled him aside when his sleeves tightened.
"Look, he has a guilty conscience too." The woman saw this scene clearly, and she was even more unforgiving.
Ling Xiang just bowed his head: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's my fault. If you need anything, just call me..."
The woman's face darkened, but her voice became louder: "How dare I bother you, my son was killed by you, and I still want to keep this old life."
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers began to discuss in low voices, and Jiang Yue was also shocked. He turned to look at Ling Xiang, but saw that he kept his eyes down, showing no emotion.
Seeing Jiang Yue turning his head, the woman took the opportunity to pull back her hand, and said to him: "I said you should be careful, don't be too late to regret if you are killed one day." After a pause, she seemed unable to hold back her breath , continued with a cold snort, "But disgusting homosexuals like you, it's better to die as soon as possible."
There was another uproar around, and the people who were secretly looking this way became upright, and the gazes that fell on Ling Xiang and Jiang Yue became a little more strange and contemptuous.
Ling Xiang raised his head instead: "It's okay for Auntie to blame me, he and I are just ordinary friends, please don't get involved..."
The following words were blocked by a glass of ice water thrown on the head by the woman: "Ordinary friends? Ordinary friends will protect you like this? Do people like you who only know how to climb men's beds have ordinary friends? You..."
"Hey, enough is enough, don't be shameless! Anyway, you are fine now, we will not accompany you." Jiang Yue couldn't see it anymore, and felt that there were more and more discussions and pointers around him, so he simply grabbed Ling With a loud wrist, he dragged and hugged him out of the coffee shop.
The woman was still cursing non-stop behind her, but Ling Xiang just let him manipulate her without any response.Jiang Yue took the man to the parking lot, stuffed him into the passenger seat, and while turning on the heater, he took out a tissue from the car and handed it over: "Hurry up and wipe off the water on your body, don't catch a cold... Hey, you should do it yourself." ah!"
This side moves neatly, but the other side is still lifeless like a puppet. Jiang Yue became anxious and pushed Ling slightly, but he still didn't respond. Water dripped down his hair continuously, and he began to tremble.Jiang Yue had no choice but to do it himself, taking out a tissue to wipe the water off Ling Xiang's body.
The paper towel gets wet as soon as it gets wet, and rots as soon as it gets wet. It's really not enough, so Jiang Yue simply took out the thin coat that was prepared on the car, and rubbed Ling Xiang's hair relentlessly, muttering: "Isn't it just a Is it an old woman who can be violent, ignore her! Hurry up and dry the water, don't get a fever and catch a cold to make her more proud..."
He moved his hands neatly and kept talking, but he still felt the lingering body temperature and the increasingly obvious and uncontrollable trembling in the passing contact.
Gradually, Jiang Yue's words could no longer be spoken.The thin coat on his hands was almost completely wet, and his hair seemed to be much drier than before, but he still saw liquid falling down drop by drop.
He hesitated for a long time, so long that the movements of his hands stopped inadvertently, and Jiang Yue carefully lowered his head.
Then he saw Ling Xiang's face.Pale and full of pain, he bit his lip tightly, and tears kept falling from his closed eyes, leaving mottled marks on his face.
At that moment, as if his heart was grabbed by something, Jiang Yue stretched out his hand like a demon, and gently touched Ling Xiang's eyes.
The moment his fingertips touched his skin was like an electric shock. He didn't know whether he moved or the sound made a noise. The temperature of tears quickly spread from his fingertips to his heart, creating a burning pain.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but leaned over.The urge to kiss this person completely dominated him, so that when his lips kissed the closed eyes, he felt joyful and satisfied.
But the next moment, Ling Xiang pushed him away forcefully.Jiang Yue came back to his senses suddenly, and found that Ling Xiang had opened his eyes and looked at him, eyes full of panic and despair.
"I..." Jiang Yue opened his mouth, but was completely speechless.
Ling Xiang also seemed to be frightened by the situation in front of him, and he froze there, his hands still maintaining the movement when he pushed Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue was embarrassed, and the lingering ambiguity in the closed car made people feel at a loss what to do. The behavior he made just now was completely overheated, so he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
He couldn't open the door and escape, so in the end he could only deliberately cough, hold the steering wheel, and said vaguely: "I, I'll take you back."
Ling Xiang still looked at him, as if he hadn't recovered yet, Jiang Yue was even more at a loss, he reached out to tie his seat belt for him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Ling Xiang hid to the side, the atmosphere became even more embarrassing.
Fortunately, Ling Xiang seemed to have finally realized the situation of the two of them, sat back unnaturally, and fastened his seat belt.
There was no talking all the way, and finally reached the downstairs of Ling Xiang's house. Jiang Yue couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he stopped, but Ling Xiang beside him didn't move as he expected.
"Uh... here, here." The speech was completely stuttering, Jiang Yue slapped himself in the heart, it was too disappointing.
At this moment, Ling Xiang spoke suddenly, his voice was very low, and he couldn't hear it clearly unless he listened carefully.Jiang Yue turned his head to look at him, only to find that he lowered his head, as if he was looking at his hands, which had already been clenched into fists, and the knuckles turned white from the force.
"Is it... If I let you go last time, you can return the account to me?"
For a short sentence, Ling Xiang seemed to have exhausted all his strength, Jiang Yue almost thought he heard it wrong, and sat there in a daze, unable to react at all.
Ling Xiang waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't respond, he leaned over and took off his clothes with trembling hands.
When his fingertips touched his chest through the shirt, Jiang Yue was so frightened that he grabbed Ling Xiang's hand subconsciously.On the contrary, Ling Xiang became agitated, and the other hand began to pull Jiang Yue's button in a disorderly manner, and he leaned on Jiang Yue's body, and he was about to kiss him.
Jiang Yue also moved quickly, hurriedly grabbed his other hand, and pushed him away: "Are you crazy!"
Ling Xiang was accidentally pushed against the car door by him, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He just struggled desperately to rub against Jiang Yue, losing all reason.
Jiang Yue resisted for a while but couldn't hold it back, he gritted his teeth and drew out his hand and slapped Ling Xiang hard on the face with a "slap".Then, as if he had hit some trap, Ling Xiang fell silent.
"Are you crazy, just letting someone log in for a broken game account?" The pressure decreased, Jiang Yue cursed without thinking, "That's just a pile of dummy data, it doesn't mean anything at all. That person is dead, are you planning to hug him?" Live your life with piles of virtual data? One day the game will be shut down and the server will be shut down, are you going to die with the server in your arms?"
"Even if I want to hold the server to my death, it has nothing to do with you! Since you don't think that account is important, just sell it to me, but you don't...you don't know anything at all, who wants you to meddle in your own business!"
Hearing Ling Xiang's roar, Jiang Yue couldn't help getting excited: "Who made me so fucking unlucky to meet you and commit suicide? If you want to die, die farther away! Can I not save you if you die in front of me?"
"What does it matter to you if I die?"
"Die, die, are you a man? You will die all day long, can the dead rest in peace!" The two of them shouted each other, and Jiang Yue stiffened his neck, insisting on suppressing Ling Xiang's voice.
Ling Xiang obviously had the same thoughts, and shouted out: "It's none of your business..."
When the last word came out, Jiang Yue punched him, and Ling Xiang hit the car door again, blood oozing from the corner of his lips, he couldn't continue speaking.
Jiang Yue seemed to be frightened by his own violence, but listening to this person say "it has nothing to do with you" again and again, his heart was like being stabbed by a sharp knife again and again, and all he wanted to do was stop the opponent's mouth , so that he could not say a word.
He thought, this time he was really screwed.
The narrow car fell silent again, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating. Neither of them spoke again, they were just so deadlocked, refusing to back down.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiang finally moved.He wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, while he took out the cigarette and bit his mouth, then awkwardly reached for the lighter in the small drawer on the car.
The sound of "click, click" sounded in the car, sparks flickered, but the cigarette was never lit.Tears began to fall in big drops, and Ling Xiang's hands shook more and more, so that he could hardly hold the lighter in the end.
He began to sob as if giving up, his body trembling badly, and his hand slowly clenched the lighter, as if he didn't know what to do, until the other hand held his hand.
Dry, warm, and slender, that hand held his hand firmly, pressed the lighter, and lit the cigarette.
Ling Xiang's tears fell even harder, Jiang Yue didn't speak, but kept holding his hand, refusing to let go.
Finally, Ling Xiang withdrew his hand.He turned his head with the cigarette in his hand, opened the car window and exhaled the smoke for a long time.The wind comes through the half-opened car window
At first, he thought it was the time when the two went online staggered, but after deliberately adjusting the online time, he found that they still couldn't meet.
For a day or two, he could still comfort himself that maybe Jiang Yue was busy with something, and slowly he began to panic.The online time has been extended again and again, but the light in front of Qi Mi Qi Sheng's name is always dim.
Gradually Ling Xiang didn't dare to go offline. He was always worried that the other party would go online the moment he quit the game, and he was afraid that he would miss something if he turned around; You will be awakened by the sound effects of the game very quickly; even if you leave for a short time, you must carefully check the system records to confirm whether there is any system news that Seven Deaths and Seven Lives are online.
However, after a week passed, he found nothing, and everyone in the guild realized that something was wrong.
"Ah Xiang, have you been offline all this time?"
"How is it possible?" Ling Xiang replied, and vigorously squeezed out the nearly burnt cigarette in his hand, and lit another one.
At the same time, the phone rang, and Ling Xiang saw the name of "Ye Tingshu" on the caller ID at a glance. He hesitated for a while before answering the phone, and responded in a low voice: "Hello?"
"Ah, what happened?"
Ling Xiang pretended to be stupid: "What?"
"You have never been offline." Ye Tingshu pointed out directly.
Ling Xiang fell silent. He knew that he should deny it, but he didn't know why he didn't say it.Maybe it's because I'm really tired.
Unable to hear his response, Ye Tingshu called out worriedly: "Ah Xiang?"
"Huh?" Ling Xiang responded unconsciously.
Ye Tingshu softened his voice and asked again: "What happened?"
After another long silence, Ling Xiang finally said in a low voice: "...I don't know."
He really didn't know what happened, he couldn't see any signs, and suddenly he disappeared.Maybe it's still my fault, too impulsive, too bad-tempered...
He didn't care about what else Ye Tingshu said there. He hung up the phone casually and buried his head in his arms. But always in vain.
There is only one way left.
Ling Xiang took a breath and sat up, looking at his mobile phone, hesitating for a long time before digging out the familiar number from the call log, but never registered in the address book, and sent a text message: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Go online, are you busy recently?"
It was only when "Send Successfully" was displayed on the screen of his mobile phone that he felt his heart beat uncontrollably faster.
I always felt that I would receive a reply text message at any time, but another day and night passed, but Jiang Yue never replied.Occasionally the phone rang, and it was also a call or a text message from Ye Tingshu.
Ling Xiang was afraid that she would come to her because she was too worried, so she gritted her teeth and logged out, nestled in front of the computer and looked at the icon of "Endless Online" on the desktop, but became more restless.
In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, so Ling Xiang took the mobile phone and clicked randomly, and every time he found Jiang Yue's number, he hesitated to press it.
He didn't know what reason he could use to make this call.After connecting, ask the other party why they are not online?He is not qualified.The more I understand this, the more clearly I realize that I really lost the account left by that person.
Finding out the familiar number again, Ling Xiang curled up helplessly on the chair, and inadvertently touched the confirmation button when he lowered his head. He was stunned for a long time before hurriedly looking at his phone, only to find that he had indeed dialed Jiang Yue's number.He was so frightened that he lost his mind, and when he wanted to hang up the phone, he hesitated.
Perhaps such courage will never be found again anyway.
He looked at the screen for a while before carefully putting the phone to his ear.
The room at dawn was dark and silent, as if only the beating of the heart and the monotonous sound in the ears remained in the world.
Ling Xiang kept his head down, bit his lips slowly, and then covered his mouth with his hands.In the end, as if he couldn't hold it back anymore, the hand holding the phone began to tremble until he couldn't hold it anymore, and let the phone slip from his palm, like tears in his eyes.
There was still a connection tone on the phone, but no one answered.
When Jiang Yue returned to the hotel, he heard his cell phone ringing at the door of the room. He hastily took out his room card to open the door, and just as he stepped in, the ringing stopped.
He ran to the bed and dug the phone out from under the pillow. Sure enough, the screen was pitch black and the battery was dead.
That's right, I forgot to bring it when I went out, and left it there for three days without turning off the phone or charging it, plus the incoming calls during this period, it's amazing that there is still electricity.
Sighing helplessly, Jiang Yue replaced the mobile phone with a spare battery, and at the same time picked up the landline in the room to make a call: "Mo Qin, I found the mobile phone, it really fell in the room."
Sure enough, there was a burst of disdain on the phone, Jiang Yue pressed the phone switch, and smiled and retorted: "I got up too early that day, and I was too late to go out, I'm not awake yet, don't you..."
After that, it was blocked by the prompt on the phone screen.Jiang Yue stared blankly at his mobile phone, until the person on the other side of the phone called several times in a row, he came back to his senses in a trance, and only said in a hurry, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, hang up first, you should rest early", and then Just hang up the phone.
The message on the phone screen left him speechless in surprise.One unread text message, 46 missed calls.
He can guess that he will see missed calls or text messages after turning on the phone, but the only people who usually call him are the editors of the magazine and a few friends.The magazine had already notified Mo Qin on his phone, and those few friends contacted occasionally on weekdays. He couldn't think of anyone and for what reason, there would be 46 missed calls on his mobile phone.
So he hesitated for a long time before opening the text message.
It was from Ling Xiang. It was a very simple sentence, so simple... that Jiang Yue couldn't help but wonder, when this person sent a text message, would there be unwillingness and awkwardness on his face?
But then Jiang Yue realized something was wrong, and hurriedly called up the communication records to check the missed calls. The word "Ling Xiang" on the caller column made his eyes go dark, and he almost threw the phone away.
How anxious was that person to keep calling himself?Jiang Yue didn't dare to think about it, he didn't even dare to think about how Ling Xiang would react and what he would do when faced with a number that no one answered.
"Endless Online", Seven Destroyers and Seven Lives... Of course he knows what the only intersection between that person and himself is.
Just because I knew it, I was even more afraid.
Jiang Yue took a deep breath, and said to himself to calm himself down: "Don't be afraid, the phone rang just now, it's okay..."
Words seemed to have real power, and his heartbeat slowly calmed down. Jiang Yue picked up the phone again and pressed the callback button.
However, there was no answer over there, so Jiang Yue couldn't help becoming anxious again, walking up and down the room, and finally when he was struggling to hang up, he heard a soft beep and got connected.
After taking a long breath, Jiang Yue quickly called out: "Ling Xiang?"
There was a soft voice from over there, but Jiang Yue couldn't hear what he said clearly, so he couldn't help calling again: "Ling Xiang?"
"Hmm..." This time it was finally a clear response, although it was too short to hear the emotion.
Jiang Yue heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I forgot to bring my mobile phone before. I just heard the ringtone when I came back, and the phone ran out of battery before I answered it."
"En." Ling Xiang replied again, but he didn't seem to know what to say, and remained silent.
Jiang Yue scratched his head, recalled the content of the text message, and forced out a sentence: "I've been out for a few days, so I haven't played the game, and I'll be back in two days. I forgot to tell you before, sorry, sorry, Go back and treat you to dinner."
That's what he said, but Jiang Yue knew that he didn't forget, but he didn't feel that he had to explain to anyone when he went out.
He spends at least half of the time running outside throughout the year, and he has never explained to anyone.It's just that at this time, in order to appease Ling Xiang, he said the words of apology smoothly, but in the end he really felt a little sorry.
This person... probably also went crazy.Unconsciously thinking of those 46 missed calls, Jiang Yue suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Aha, guess where I am now?" As if deliberately ignoring the strange feeling, Jiang Yue changed the subject while taking off his shoes and going to bed.
"Huh?" Ling Xiang's slightly puzzled voice came from the phone, and it took him a long time to hear him ask in a low voice, "Aren't you in the city?"
"Not here."
"domestic?"
"Not here either."
Ling Xiang fell silent. Jiang Yue thought he was thinking, but after waiting for a while, he didn't speak, and finally couldn't help asking: "Hello?"
Ling Xiang was still silent, and he said after a long time: "The world is so big, how should I guess?"
Although the tone was still flat and even a bit depressed, Jiang Yue felt that he could hear a hint of arrogance belonging to the sound of Luna in the game, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "I'm in Verona."
"……Romeo and Juliet?"
"Bingo! Ah──Romeo, why are you Romeo?"
Ling Xiang seemed to be amused by Jiang Yue's impromptu performance, and there was a touch of emotion in his voice: "Are you Juliet?"
Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Oh, I'm wrong, let's do it all over again. Oh──Juliet, why are you Juliet~"
Ling Xiang seemed to laugh, although he was not sure, Jiang Yue's mood improved uncontrollably, and he sighed: "This is a suitable place for dating."
"Are you going to date?"
Hearing Ling Xiang's question, Jiang Yue couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "How is that possible."
"Business trip, or tourism?"
"Guess?" Jiang Yue's eyebrows became brighter, and when he found Ling Xiang fell silent again, he realized that he was too relaxed, as if he was chatting with his best friend.
Laughing a bit awkwardly, he automatically solved the mystery: "It's considered a business trip, and it's also a tourist."
"It's a good job." Ling Xiang commented.
"Fortunately, writing articles for travel magazines, to put it mildly, I'm a freelancer."
"Doesn't it sound good?"
Jiang Yue's voice was lowered, deliberately looking pitiful and mysterious: "Unemployed."
"I'm the kind of vagrant."
The first time Jiang Yue heard him talk about his situation, he couldn't help but want to ask in depth, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was not appropriate, so he held back again.
Ling Xiang didn't continue talking, and after a while, he brought the topic back: "Is it fun?"
Hearing his question, Jiang Yue knew that he didn't intend to continue. Although he was a little disappointed, he followed his words and responded: "Ancient castles in the Middle Ages, stretches of forests, towering bell towers, various churches, The Colosseum... the most desirable things in the ancient European cities can be found here."
"That's great." Ling Xiang responded after he stopped.
In the faint response, there is no emotion that matches the meaning of the words at all, as if the person who came alive during the conversation just now fell silent again.
Jiang Yue couldn't tell whether he was sad or lost, but couldn't help but wanted to continue: "When I went to Juliet's former residence, I wanted to climb that balcony wholeheartedly, but unfortunately my friend stopped me.
"There are vows of eternal love on the door, wall and even on the ground. It takes courage for single people to walk in.
"The church here is very beautiful, with bronze reliefs, double-decorated cloisters, and windows with rose patterns... When you walk in, there will be a faint solemnity, even if you are not a believer, you can't help but become devout."
"very nice……"
Ling Xiang responded in a low voice again, seeming to sigh a little bit, but also a little bit confused, Jiang Yue listened to it, and felt as if something had been stirred in his heart, he stopped the topic, and then sighed.
"Yeah, it's a really good place. You must come and see it if you have the chance."
Ling Xiang smiled, but there was no laughter in that low, almost inaudible laughter, instead it was full of bitterness, after a long while he said: "What else?"
"Also... The Arena of Verona is the second largest arena in Italy after Rome, the remains of an amphitheater in the ancient Roman era. This happens to be the opera festival here, and I just read "Carmen" these days. I listened to it several times." Jiang Yue could naturally hear that Ling Xiang was deliberately changing the subject, but he didn't care, and continued to follow Ling Xiang's meaning.
"There is also the ancient Roman theater on the hill. After watching the performance, you can see the whole city from above. You will see red tiles and white walls, shaded by green trees, and towering bell towers. The Adige River meanders through it. , you can hardly find the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis.”
All kinds of calming memories in the memory surfaced again, Jiang Yue stopped slowly and closed his eyes: "Is it a good place?"
Ling Xiang over there didn't respond for a long time. When Jiang Yue opened his eyes again, he couldn't help taking down the phone to look at it. The call was still on, and the call time had exceeded half an hour.
The people over there were still silent, Jiang Yue accidentally thought of the international long-distance call charges, couldn't help sighing, and called out: "Ling Xiang?"
There was still silence over there, and Jiang Yue listened carefully for a while, trying to figure out what was going on over there, only then did he faintly hear a very light snoring, which seemed to mean that the people over there had fallen asleep unknowingly caught.
"Ling..." Jiang Yue was about to call again, but stopped when the words came out.
I don't know what's going on with the people over there. Because of a game account, they can even be so sad that they don't want to live anymore. They haven't seen Qi Mi Qi Sheng go online these days, and I'm afraid they will be so disturbed that they can't sleep.
His heart softened unconsciously. Hearing the shallow snoring on the phone, Jiang Yue was actually a little reluctant to hang up. It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that he woke up suddenly and hung up the phone in a panic.
When he opened the door, the woman standing outside smiled at him and leaned over to kiss him, with the fragrance of bath milk.Jiang Yue took a step back, but he didn't refuse. He just pulled him into the room and closed the door behind him.
After closing the door, the man became even more presumptuous. He put his arms around Jiang Yue's neck, rubbed his cheek against his cheek a few times, and finally kissed his lips.
Jiang Yue pushed the person away subconsciously: "Wait a minute, Mo Qin."
The woman named Mo Qin let go of her hand and looked at him in surprise, her eyes turned around and landed on Jiang Yue's mobile phone, she finally shrugged, turned around and sat on the bed, and teased, "I said why did you hang up on my phone?" Well, when you find your phone, you find that you are in a hurry to find a good friend these days?"
Jiang Yue's eyebrows twitched inexplicably, and finally sat down beside her with a smile: "So what?"
Mo Qin exaggeratedly sighed: "Having a new friend, forgetting the old one, my heart will be broken." After finishing speaking, he fell into Jiang Yue's arms with a look of grief.
It is undeniable that Mo Qin is a beauty.With elegant eyebrows, a frown and a smile are enough to ecstasy, such a beauty threw himself into his arms, Jiang Yue naturally hugged her, turned over and pressed her on the bed: "Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, haven't you heard of it?"
Mo Qin dodged sideways, sat up a little against the pillow, and looked at Jiang Yue with a smile: "This kind of insincere flirting can be avoided, you look really boring tonight."
Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows.
When a woman puts her down on the bed and says that looking at you is not interesting, the average man should do something to get back his position.But Mo Qinyu has been friends with him for many years and a good partner at work. The two have a good understanding in bed, and more importantly, they are both sober enough to not get entangled, so Jiang Yue doesn't intend to forcefully continue.
Turning over to the other side, sitting there side by side with Mo Qin, he subconsciously touched the cigarette holder.
"It's the first time I've seen you like this. You're listless and absent-minded." Mo Qin looked at him as if looking at a novelty, and after a while, he took out the cigarette in Jiang Yue's hand and extinguished it directly on the bedside table: "Even my last Forget about the fact that I hate men smoking in bed, it’s just a look of distress for someone.”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Yue scolded with a smile, a vague thought flashed by at that moment, he subconsciously wanted to touch the cigarette case again, but Mo Qin grabbed his hand.
"Say! Who are you thinking of now?"
A delicate and pale face flashed in his mind, Jiang Yue startled himself, and quickly distanced himself from Mo Qin: "What are you crazy about, of course I miss you when I look at you."
Mo Qin stared into his eyes and smiled brightly, finally let go of Jiang Yue's hand and said, "It's fine if you don't admit it, it's really your strength to open your eyes and tell lies."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Yue couldn't laugh or cry, and finally confessed: "Okay...it's a man."
Mo Qin's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he said after a long while: "God, you were spoiled by those people from the magazine!"
"Hmm, didn't you tell me that as long as you have feelings, men and women are not a problem?"
Mo Qin turned her head and thought for a while: "That's what you say, but... my dear, did we have sex three days ago?"
Jiang Yue laughed out loud: "So what?"
Mo Qin didn't answer right away, but only asked after he finished laughing, "What kind of person is that?"
"I don't know." The smile on Jiang Yue's lips faded.
"Um?"
"I've only met him once, and he looks good."
Mo Qin turned his head to look at him: "You only see his face?"
"Probably a very arrogant person."
"perhaps?"
"Now he suppresses himself too much," Jiang Yue recalled the fleeting, almost inaudible laughter on the phone, "he is always in a state of collapse at any time, which makes people feel very anxious. "
Mo Qin frowned: "What's going on?"
Jiang Yue leaned back, sighed, and described everything that happened since he bought the game account in detail. Mo Qin was a little careless at the beginning, but later his expression became a little dignified.
It wasn't until Jiang Yue stopped that she let out a breath, hesitated for a long time, and said, "It sounds like you are just overflowing with sympathy and pity him? It's not love at all."
Jiang Yue raised his lips: "Is it you who keeps saying I'm in love with someone?"
Mo Qin was taken aback: "Huh?"
"I'm sure you said I was in love with him. I just hung up and was thinking about him."
The corners of Mo Qin's mouth twitched slightly, and in the end, he simply pressed his whole body onto Jiang Yue's body and pinched his neck: "You're playing tricks on me!"
Jiang Yue laughed heartlessly: "I didn't say anything, it's because you think too much!"
"Obviously you are misleading me!" Mo Qin replied angrily, let go of Jiang Yue, but still leaned on him, "But it seems that you really care about him. Ah││This mood is too subtle, there is always It's a bad premonition that you will lose to a man at any time!"
"Who would fall in love with someone who has only met once? What's more, he has someone he loves deeply, and even committed suicide for that person. It is impossible to fall in love with others. Am I the kind of fool who asks for trouble?"
Mo Qin thought for a while before nodding vigorously: "That's right. Don't think too much about it. You have nothing to do with him. You can't control what he does. Even if he committed suicide successfully, it's not your responsibility."
Jiang Yue smiled, but did not answer.He knew that Ling Xiang was not his responsibility, and he was clear enough to know that he and Ling Xiang were no more than two disjoint parallel lines, but the more he understood, the more he cared.Maybe it's really like what Mo Qin said, the sympathy is overflowing.
After thinking about it randomly for a while, he seemed to think of something, and said, "What is suitable to buy as a souvenir, why don't you go shopping with me tomorrow?"
Mo Qin was slightly stunned, and then expressed her contempt: "Who said that I was not an idiot just now? Are you really planning to engage in homosexuality?"
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes back at her: "It's for apologizing. I forgot to tell him when I went out. It made him nervous for so long. I'm sorry."
He took it for granted, and Mo Qin didn't say anything else, but Jiang Yue understood that this was just... an excuse.
In the end, Jiang Yue bought an exquisite mobile phone strap with a bronze figure in the shape of Romeo hanging on it, full of heroism and with a brilliant smile.
The expression on Ling Xiang's face seemed distorted when he received it, but he still said "thank you" and accepted it.
It was Wednesday afternoon, and there were not many people in the open-air coffee shop. The two of them were chatting in the corner without saying a word. Most of the time, Jiang Yue was talking, and Ling Xiang was absent-minded. It blocked Jiang Yue so much that he couldn't laugh or cry.
"I see, you are happy to see me speechless, right?"
Ling Xiang was innocent: "You earn your living by writing travel notes. I am expressing my doubts from the standpoint of a pure reader. You can't accuse me of finding fault."
I haven't talked about this point yet, but you said it yourself. This is clearly looking for trouble, brother.The villain in Jiang Yue's heart burst into tears again, but his mood was much higher than usual.
Whether it was the first meeting, in the game, or on the phone, Ling Xiang gave him the same feeling as he told Mo Qin, always suppressing himself.Even if there is an occasional hint of joy and anger, it is quickly wiped away, as if in his opinion, such emotions are blasphemy to the lost lover.
But this afternoon Ling Xiang seemed much more energetic.He was still embarrassing himself, absent-minded, and smiled very lightly, but finally smiled.
Jiang Yue thought, without the dead person, Ling Xiang must have been a very dazzling existence.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Yue's gaze, Ling Xiang looked up at him, uncomfortably took out his credit card and asked the waiter to pay the bill: "It's getting late, let's go."
The waiter came over, and Jiang Yue quickly took out a few banknotes and stuffed them into his hand: "I'll just come, I agreed to treat you to dinner to make amends, and it would be cheaper for me to replace it with coffee."
Ling Xiang didn't care about it, stood up and walked out, while waving the mobile phone string hanging on his finger: "Thank you then, and thank you for the gift."
Jiang Yue smiled, and followed behind: "When I was shopping over there, I wanted to buy ice cream the most, but unfortunately I couldn't bring it back."
Ling Xiang couldn't help but turn around: "Although I heard that Verona's ice cream is good, but I'm not a child..."
Before he finished speaking, he bumped into a person. It was too late for Jiang Yue to remind him, so he quickly reached out to help, lest Ling Xiang fall backward due to the collision.
There was a burst of cursing from the other side, Jiang Yue saw that Ling Xiang was standing still, so he turned his head to look, and only had time to see clearly that the woman who was bumped was a woman in her fifties, when she saw the other side's face change, and raised his hand, "Pa " with a sound and slapped Ling.
There was an instant silence inside and outside the coffee shop.
Ling Xiang's face was tilted to one side after being beaten, and he stood still for a while before turning back, but he lowered his head and apologized: "I'm sorry."
The woman acted as if she didn't hear it, and raised her hand to slap her again. Jiang Yue subconsciously grabbed her hand: "Auntie, it's his fault that he bumped into you, but he also apologized, you don't have to hit someone Bar?"
The woman struggled for a while and found that she couldn't break free, so she simply sneered: "Who knows if he did it on purpose? It's my fate that I didn't get hit to death. If I was hit to death, what's the use of apologizing?"
"You are making trouble out of no reason, why did he bump into it on purpose..." The other party was aggressive, Jiang Yue was also a little angry, and wanted to reason again, but Ling Xiang pulled him aside when his sleeves tightened.
"Look, he has a guilty conscience too." The woman saw this scene clearly, and she was even more unforgiving.
Ling Xiang just bowed his head: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's my fault. If you need anything, just call me..."
The woman's face darkened, but her voice became louder: "How dare I bother you, my son was killed by you, and I still want to keep this old life."
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers began to discuss in low voices, and Jiang Yue was also shocked. He turned to look at Ling Xiang, but saw that he kept his eyes down, showing no emotion.
Seeing Jiang Yue turning his head, the woman took the opportunity to pull back her hand, and said to him: "I said you should be careful, don't be too late to regret if you are killed one day." After a pause, she seemed unable to hold back her breath , continued with a cold snort, "But disgusting homosexuals like you, it's better to die as soon as possible."
There was another uproar around, and the people who were secretly looking this way became upright, and the gazes that fell on Ling Xiang and Jiang Yue became a little more strange and contemptuous.
Ling Xiang raised his head instead: "It's okay for Auntie to blame me, he and I are just ordinary friends, please don't get involved..."
The following words were blocked by a glass of ice water thrown on the head by the woman: "Ordinary friends? Ordinary friends will protect you like this? Do people like you who only know how to climb men's beds have ordinary friends? You..."
"Hey, enough is enough, don't be shameless! Anyway, you are fine now, we will not accompany you." Jiang Yue couldn't see it anymore, and felt that there were more and more discussions and pointers around him, so he simply grabbed Ling With a loud wrist, he dragged and hugged him out of the coffee shop.
The woman was still cursing non-stop behind her, but Ling Xiang just let him manipulate her without any response.Jiang Yue took the man to the parking lot, stuffed him into the passenger seat, and while turning on the heater, he took out a tissue from the car and handed it over: "Hurry up and wipe off the water on your body, don't catch a cold... Hey, you should do it yourself." ah!"
This side moves neatly, but the other side is still lifeless like a puppet. Jiang Yue became anxious and pushed Ling slightly, but he still didn't respond. Water dripped down his hair continuously, and he began to tremble.Jiang Yue had no choice but to do it himself, taking out a tissue to wipe the water off Ling Xiang's body.
The paper towel gets wet as soon as it gets wet, and rots as soon as it gets wet. It's really not enough, so Jiang Yue simply took out the thin coat that was prepared on the car, and rubbed Ling Xiang's hair relentlessly, muttering: "Isn't it just a Is it an old woman who can be violent, ignore her! Hurry up and dry the water, don't get a fever and catch a cold to make her more proud..."
He moved his hands neatly and kept talking, but he still felt the lingering body temperature and the increasingly obvious and uncontrollable trembling in the passing contact.
Gradually, Jiang Yue's words could no longer be spoken.The thin coat on his hands was almost completely wet, and his hair seemed to be much drier than before, but he still saw liquid falling down drop by drop.
He hesitated for a long time, so long that the movements of his hands stopped inadvertently, and Jiang Yue carefully lowered his head.
Then he saw Ling Xiang's face.Pale and full of pain, he bit his lip tightly, and tears kept falling from his closed eyes, leaving mottled marks on his face.
At that moment, as if his heart was grabbed by something, Jiang Yue stretched out his hand like a demon, and gently touched Ling Xiang's eyes.
The moment his fingertips touched his skin was like an electric shock. He didn't know whether he moved or the sound made a noise. The temperature of tears quickly spread from his fingertips to his heart, creating a burning pain.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but leaned over.The urge to kiss this person completely dominated him, so that when his lips kissed the closed eyes, he felt joyful and satisfied.
But the next moment, Ling Xiang pushed him away forcefully.Jiang Yue came back to his senses suddenly, and found that Ling Xiang had opened his eyes and looked at him, eyes full of panic and despair.
"I..." Jiang Yue opened his mouth, but was completely speechless.
Ling Xiang also seemed to be frightened by the situation in front of him, and he froze there, his hands still maintaining the movement when he pushed Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue was embarrassed, and the lingering ambiguity in the closed car made people feel at a loss what to do. The behavior he made just now was completely overheated, so he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
He couldn't open the door and escape, so in the end he could only deliberately cough, hold the steering wheel, and said vaguely: "I, I'll take you back."
Ling Xiang still looked at him, as if he hadn't recovered yet, Jiang Yue was even more at a loss, he reached out to tie his seat belt for him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Ling Xiang hid to the side, the atmosphere became even more embarrassing.
Fortunately, Ling Xiang seemed to have finally realized the situation of the two of them, sat back unnaturally, and fastened his seat belt.
There was no talking all the way, and finally reached the downstairs of Ling Xiang's house. Jiang Yue couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he stopped, but Ling Xiang beside him didn't move as he expected.
"Uh... here, here." The speech was completely stuttering, Jiang Yue slapped himself in the heart, it was too disappointing.
At this moment, Ling Xiang spoke suddenly, his voice was very low, and he couldn't hear it clearly unless he listened carefully.Jiang Yue turned his head to look at him, only to find that he lowered his head, as if he was looking at his hands, which had already been clenched into fists, and the knuckles turned white from the force.
"Is it... If I let you go last time, you can return the account to me?"
For a short sentence, Ling Xiang seemed to have exhausted all his strength, Jiang Yue almost thought he heard it wrong, and sat there in a daze, unable to react at all.
Ling Xiang waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't respond, he leaned over and took off his clothes with trembling hands.
When his fingertips touched his chest through the shirt, Jiang Yue was so frightened that he grabbed Ling Xiang's hand subconsciously.On the contrary, Ling Xiang became agitated, and the other hand began to pull Jiang Yue's button in a disorderly manner, and he leaned on Jiang Yue's body, and he was about to kiss him.
Jiang Yue also moved quickly, hurriedly grabbed his other hand, and pushed him away: "Are you crazy!"
Ling Xiang was accidentally pushed against the car door by him, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He just struggled desperately to rub against Jiang Yue, losing all reason.
Jiang Yue resisted for a while but couldn't hold it back, he gritted his teeth and drew out his hand and slapped Ling Xiang hard on the face with a "slap".Then, as if he had hit some trap, Ling Xiang fell silent.
"Are you crazy, just letting someone log in for a broken game account?" The pressure decreased, Jiang Yue cursed without thinking, "That's just a pile of dummy data, it doesn't mean anything at all. That person is dead, are you planning to hug him?" Live your life with piles of virtual data? One day the game will be shut down and the server will be shut down, are you going to die with the server in your arms?"
"Even if I want to hold the server to my death, it has nothing to do with you! Since you don't think that account is important, just sell it to me, but you don't...you don't know anything at all, who wants you to meddle in your own business!"
Hearing Ling Xiang's roar, Jiang Yue couldn't help getting excited: "Who made me so fucking unlucky to meet you and commit suicide? If you want to die, die farther away! Can I not save you if you die in front of me?"
"What does it matter to you if I die?"
"Die, die, are you a man? You will die all day long, can the dead rest in peace!" The two of them shouted each other, and Jiang Yue stiffened his neck, insisting on suppressing Ling Xiang's voice.
Ling Xiang obviously had the same thoughts, and shouted out: "It's none of your business..."
When the last word came out, Jiang Yue punched him, and Ling Xiang hit the car door again, blood oozing from the corner of his lips, he couldn't continue speaking.
Jiang Yue seemed to be frightened by his own violence, but listening to this person say "it has nothing to do with you" again and again, his heart was like being stabbed by a sharp knife again and again, and all he wanted to do was stop the opponent's mouth , so that he could not say a word.
He thought, this time he was really screwed.
The narrow car fell silent again, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating. Neither of them spoke again, they were just so deadlocked, refusing to back down.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiang finally moved.He wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, while he took out the cigarette and bit his mouth, then awkwardly reached for the lighter in the small drawer on the car.
The sound of "click, click" sounded in the car, sparks flickered, but the cigarette was never lit.Tears began to fall in big drops, and Ling Xiang's hands shook more and more, so that he could hardly hold the lighter in the end.
He began to sob as if giving up, his body trembling badly, and his hand slowly clenched the lighter, as if he didn't know what to do, until the other hand held his hand.
Dry, warm, and slender, that hand held his hand firmly, pressed the lighter, and lit the cigarette.
Ling Xiang's tears fell even harder, Jiang Yue didn't speak, but kept holding his hand, refusing to let go.
Finally, Ling Xiang withdrew his hand.He turned his head with the cigarette in his hand, opened the car window and exhaled the smoke for a long time.The wind comes through the half-opened car window
