stay away from love

Ye Tingshu had rang the doorbell for almost ten minutes, but there was no sign of anyone opening the door. She was a little anxious.

It wasn't until today on the way to work that she ran into her aunt, that she knew that her mother and Ling Xiang met in the coffee shop the day before yesterday, and that her mother even made Ling Xiang troublesome.

My aunt didn't know the exact situation, so she had no choice but to call Ling Xiang, but she didn't expect that there was no answer all morning.Really worried, she had no choice but to take half a day off and come directly to the door.

After ringing the doorbell several times in a row, Ling Xiang still did not open the door. Ye Tingshu had no choice but to take out the key that her brother had given her from her bag, open the door and enter the house.

The room was as quiet as ever, Ye Tingshu closed the door, and habitually searched for Ling Xiang's room.

The door of the room was open, and as soon as she approached, she could see that the computer screen inside was on. Ling Xiang curled up on the chair in front of the computer, covering her face with her hands tightly, and remained motionless.

Ye Tingshu's heart suddenly lifted.

The scene was all too familiar to her.In the days when her brother just passed away, she would see this scene every time she stepped into this room.

The screen of "Endless Online" was displayed on the computer screen, and Ling Xiang just curled up motionless on the chair in front of the computer, like a wounded trapped animal, struggling desperately but having nowhere to escape, no matter how far away she was, she couldn't escape. She could feel the despair and self-blame hanging over him, it was the grief that she couldn't appease no matter how hard she tried.

She didn't know why she still saw such a scene. For a moment, she even thought that the past year was just a dream of her own. In fact, her brother had just left, and this person was still deeply in pain and couldn't extricate himself.But she knew it wasn't, and because she knew it, she felt even more afraid.

"Ah Xiang...what's the matter with you?" Hesitantly asked, Ye Tingshu walked over cautiously.

Ling Xiang seemed to move, but it was like her own hallucination. When Ye Tingshu walked up to Ling Xiang, he hesitated for a moment before pulling his hand away, and then saw the tears on his face.

Ling Xiang just stared at her blankly, his eyes were so hollow that it was frightening, Ye Tingshu couldn't help but asked again in a low voice: "Ah Xiang, what happened? Don't scare me."

Ling Xiang still didn't move, only after a long time, he slowly shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know."

This reaction made Ye Tingshu even more disturbed. She knelt down beside Ling Xiang: "Tell me what's going on, did my mother tell you something? Just ignore her, she just fainted, you Don't listen to her nonsense."

Hearing her talking more and more anxiously, Ling Xiang slowly came back to his senses. He could clearly see the tension and anxiety in Ye Tingshu's eyes, and his heart warmed up. Finally, he reached out and patted Ye Tingshu's shoulder, and shook his head again: "I'm fine, don't worry. I just, just..."

He couldn't say anything after that.Even if it was an excuse to comfort Ye Tingshu, he was unwilling to desecrate that person.

But Ye Tingshu had already understood, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think of my brother?"

Ling Xiang lowered his eyes, not meeting her gaze.

Ye Tingshu only regarded him as acquiescing, and after a while, he asked in a low voice: "Ah Xiang, will you forget brother?"

Ling Xiang raised his head abruptly, looking at Ye Tingshu with disbelief and almost imperceptible despair.

"No no! I mean, can't you forget brother? He... definitely doesn't want you to go on like this forever."

"I won't."

Ye Tingshu didn't know how to express: "But brother is dead, but you are still alive."

"Yeah, I'm still alive..." Ling Xiang hooked his lips, but there was a hint of pain in his eyes, "I should be the one who is going to die, I made him a homosexual, I made him turn against his family , he was fine, so excellent, if not for me..."

"No!" Ye Tingshu was anxious and interrupted him, "It's not your fault, it's all voluntary by brother! He must hope that you can live a good life, forget about him, start your own life again, love again The last person..."

Ling Xiang didn't let her finish, but just smiled lightly: "I can't do it."

"Why? My brother is already dead, and he will never come back no matter what. Why can't you forget him and let yourself go?"

"Stop talking. That's your brother, you want me to forget about him?" Ling Xiang's tone became sharper.

Ye Tingshu was also a little excited: "Because I don't want to watch you go on like this! You still have such a long life, do you want to spend your whole life trapped in this room for a dead person? Do you think that brother will Happy? You..."

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it!" Ling Xiang interrupted her again, and even pushed Ye Tingshu hard, "Get out, get out!"

Ye Tingshu was pushed and fell to the ground, got up in embarrassment and wanted to say more, but found that Ling Xiang's eyes were red, and he looked very excited, just staring at him fiercely, but there was a clear sense of loss of control and collapse.

"Ah Xiang, you..." It's not just because of my own words, there must be something else that I don't know, which made this person push myself into trouble again.

Ye Tingshu calmed down all of a sudden, and took a step forward to ask questions, but Ling Xiang had already stood up, pushed her again, and finally clamped her hand, pulling her all the way from the room to the door.

"Ah Xiang, let me go! What happened? Ah Xiang..."

Ye Tingshu struggled all the way, she no longer wanted to continue her topic, she just wanted to know what happened to Ling Xiang and why it became like this.

"Nothing happened. I will not forget your brother, nor will I fall in love with someone else! That is your brother, I don't want to hear you tell me to forget him, you go out!" Ling Xiang opened the door with one hand , pushing Ye Tingshu out with one hand.

Ye Tingshu wanted to speak again, but Ling Xiang had already slammed the door in front of her.

Ye Tingshu could only knock desperately outside, and even tried to open the door with the key, but Ling Xiang just slowly sat down against the door and closed his eyes.

Even though she is Tingyu's younger sister, she actually wants me to forget about him, to turn my back on him and fall in love with someone else... It's too much.

It was already night when Jiang Yue woke up again, and he went downstairs to have a midnight snack to fill his stomach, and he logged in to "Endless Online" again.

As soon as he went online, he found that Ling Xiang was actually online.

Being online does not mean opening the friend list and seeing the small light in front of the name is on, but beside the place where he is online, there is that silver-robed mage, who looks dying, and is about to be hit by wild monsters who often miss, The hit was just an attack that deducted a little life and was killed.No matter how you look at it, it seems that you haven't been offline since the morning.

Quickly sent a question mark on the current channel, and Jiang Yue opened the private chat window to send a message to Luna Zhixiang: "Are you offline?"

However, neither the current channel nor the private chat message responded, and the mage on the screen did not even move.

Jiang Yue was helpless, but he had to admit that he was used to it, and immediately sent another message: "Where are you? Fill up your blood to PK."

Still no response, Jiang Yue took out a cigarette with a headache and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw a white light flash in the center of the screen, and the sound of Luna disappeared.

At first he thought that Ling Xiang had gone offline, but when he saw the extra gold coins and equipment on the ground, he realized that it was not Ling Xiang who had gone offline, but Luna Zhixiang who had been beaten to death by wild monsters because he hadn't moved. Go back to the resurrection point in the city.

Realizing that there must be another problem there, Jiang Yue sighed, picked up the game coins and equipment dropped by the character's death on the ground, and then picked up the phone to call Ling Xiang.

He was ready for no one to answer the phone, and even thought about how to make up the text message, but he didn't expect that after the phone rang twice, someone actually hung up.

This problem is serious.

Jiang Yue was stunned for a while, and then panickedly dialed Ling Xiang's phone again, but this time it only rang once, and was hung up again. When he dialed again, a mechanical female voice came from the phone: "The person you are calling is switched off."

Jiang Yue felt like breaking out in a cold sweat, and his first reaction was to change his clothes, grab the car keys and run outside.

He didn't know what happened to Ling Xiang, but he could vaguely guess that this time, it was because of him.

Driving all the way, parking the car downstairs at Ling Xiang's house, Jiang Yue realized that the hands holding the steering wheel were covered in cold sweat because of nervousness.He couldn't wait for the elevator, so he simply ran up the stairs, lay panting by the door, and pressed the doorbell crazily, feeling his heart beating so violently that he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Ling Xiang didn't open the door all this time, Jiang Yue became even more nervous, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he beat the door hard with his hand and shouted: "Ling Xiang, open the door, I know you are here! Ling Xiang!"

The knocking on the door and the shouting startled the neighbors, who opened the door and looked at him like a thief. Jiang Yue had no choice but to hold back and apologize, and waited for the neighbor to go back before ringing the doorbell again, and walked around in a hurry at the door. .

In fact, he already knew that Ling Xiang would not open the door, but the breath he had been holding in his heart seemed to finally burst out. He didn't want to admit defeat, so he could only ring the doorbell unwillingly, as if holding on for a while, the people in the room People will compromise.

However, Ling Xiang did not compromise, but it was Jiang Yue who was defeated first.Leaning weakly against the door, he took out the cigarette case, and when he was about to take out the cigarette and light it, he suddenly saw the carpet at the door.

After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Yue quickly squatted down and opened the carpet. The spare key was still hidden in the same place as last time. He was overjoyed, and hurriedly inserted the key into the keyhole, and pushed the lock, only to find something was wrong. .

It looks like something is blocked behind the door!

Jiang Yue tentatively called out to the crack of the door: "Ling Xiang?" Then he pushed the door open again.

This time the feeling was even more obvious, as if someone was blocking the door with all his strength behind the door, even if he pushed forward a little, he would be pushed back immediately.

"Ling Xiang!" Jiang Yue gritted his teeth and called again, "Open the door!"

No one responded from behind the door, but when the door was pushed again, the resistance became more intense, and the door was even slammed shut again with a bang.

Jiang Yue was so angry that he punched the door with his fist, and then turned the key. Leaning his whole body, he forcefully pushed the door open: "What's wrong with you? Open the door and speak clearly!"

The people behind the door just resisted silently. Jiang Yue couldn't attack for a long time, and finally he became ruthless: "I'm going to hit the door. If you don't want to get hurt, get out of the way."

"I'll call the police if you crash in." Finally, a lingering voice came from behind the door. It sounded a bit hoarse, but the panic inside could be heard.

Jiang Yue ignored it at all, and started counting down over there: "After three beeps, I'll knock on the door, get out of the way quickly. Three..."

However, as soon as he counted the exit, he hit it first.It's not about making a surprise attack, but Jiang Yue has already seen how fierce Ling Xiang's methods are, and he knows that with such a count, Ling Xiang might become stubborn and confront him.Such a bump and a block, one might be injured, it is better to smash the door open before the person is ready.

Sure enough, just as he expected, I don't know if it was strong enough or Ling Xiang was really unprepared, the door was knocked open, Jiang Yue followed and slammed in, stood still and looked up only to find that Ling Xiang was half leaning against the shoe cabinet behind the door side, frowning and rubbing his elbows.

Immediately feeling a little regretful, Jiang Yue took a step forward: "Uh... bumped, bumped?"

He subconsciously reached out to pull Ling Xiang's hand to look at it, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stretched out his hand, Ling Xiang hid aside, looking at him with defensive eyes: "Didn't you say three times?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yue's sinking heart came alive again, and he smiled and said, "Soldiers never tire of cheating."

Ling Xiang frowned again, as if realizing that his words were too friendly, he took a step back: "What are you doing here? You are breaking into a private house. I can call the police at any time."

"Report." Hearing what he said, Jiang Yue lost his temper. He closed the door casually, walked to the sofa and sat down, smoked a cigarette, lit it, and said, "You didn't log off the game for a day, right? You're all to blame. I was beaten to death. I didn’t answer when I asked you, and the phone was turned off when I called, who knows if you will be overwhelmed for a while?”

"Even if I can't think about it, what does it have to do with you?" Ling Xiang asked after being silent for a while.

Jiang Yue paused, then took a deep breath of the cigarette, and patted the place beside him: "It's okay, but I just like to meddle in my own business. Come on, why can't you think about it?"

Ling Xiang naturally did not move: "It has nothing to do with you."

It's this sentence again.Jiang Yue still remembered that the last time Ling Xiang said this, he couldn't help but slap him.Maybe it was at that time that I clearly realized how much I hated the state of "it has nothing to do with him"; only then did I realize that I had fallen into the game and could no longer watch clearly.

Thinking of that slap, he slowly calmed down, he didn't want to do this kind of thing that would frighten himself, and then secretly regret it for a long time.

"I thought we were at least friends."

"We've only known each other for a few days, so we're friends now?" Ling Xiang snorted coldly, "Then I have a lot of friends, you can't even get in line."

Jiang Yue frowned.Defense, alienation, and even stinging in his words made him feel a little strange to Ling Xiang, but looking at it this way, it was closer to what Ling Xiang said.

This is really like two people who have just met for a few days, but they are just acquaintances, not even friends.In fact, they have only met twice, through a few phone calls, and occasionally played games together. Really, even the acquaintance is too shallow.

Is that really the case?Thinking about it, Jiang Yue felt that his unreasonable feelings were frivolous and ridiculous, but he knew it was not the case.It's not just him...Jiang Yue met Ling Xiang's eyes, and he thought this person also understood.

The way they met and got acquainted was different from the usual situation.

This person has been ashamed and embarrassed in front of him, cried and collapsed in front of him, and even died in front of him once!Not to mention being friends, even being a couple is enough.

Ling Xiang looked at the change in Jiang Yue's eyes from dazed to firm, and looked even more flustered, but still stiffened his neck and roared: "What are you looking at, get out!"

Jiang Yue didn't speak, but stood up suddenly. Ling Xiang was startled again, and stepped back towards the room to put a distance between him and Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue looked at the panic-stricken man, took back the steps he took, and sighed softly.

Ling Xiang was a little dazed, but kept watching him vigilantly.

Then he heard Jiang Yue ask, "What happened?"

Ling Xiang didn't answer, he didn't understand why this person asked such a question suddenly.Wasn't he speaking bluntly enough?

"It wasn't all good before, why did you suddenly distance yourself from me?"

Ling Xiang replied stiffly: "I have nothing to do with you."

Jiang Yue smiled again, his brows became more gentle: "It's okay? I still have the account you want most. If it's okay, I will delete the character when I go back?"

Ling Xiang opened his eyes wide suddenly, unable to speak for a while.

After a while, Jiang Yue walked over and stopped in front of Ling Xiang: "Is it because of something I did?"

Ling Xiang seemed to want to escape, but his body shook slightly, but he didn't move after all.

"You are nervous." Jiang Yue said with certainty, "Is it because of me?"

"No..." Ling Xiang quickly retorted, but in the middle of the sentence, he hesitated and did not continue.

Jiang Yue just stared at him, and then narrowed his eyes slightly after a long while: "Is it because of the few sets of materials in the morning, did you discover anything?"

Ling made a noise, but it seemed that the whole person seemed a little stiff.

Jiang Yue sighed again: "Actually, you have already noticed it, haven't you?"

"What are you... talking about?" Ling Xiang's voice was dry.

Jiang Yue grabbed his hand and pulled it to his chest and heart.Almost the moment his fingertips touched the clothes, Ling Xiang withdrew his hand as if being burned, and looked at him in horror.

Jiang Yue didn't back down, his voice was gentle but firm: "Yes, I like you."

Ling Xiang blurted out: "You are talking nonsense!"

Jiang Yue smiled: "My feeling is that I know best if I'm talking nonsense."

Ling Xiang just shook his head, not even daring to look at him.

"At first I didn't dare to admit it, because I never liked a man. But it would be a pity to deny it because of fear, after all, I have never been so serious. You are the first and probably the last.

"I know you love that person very much, so I was going to give up. I don't want to put pressure on you, and I don't want to see you in... pain like you are now."

Ling Xiang's body trembled slightly, he turned his eyes away, and bit his lip slowly.

"But, just because you are in pain, I can't give up." Jiang Yue smiled firmly, "Because I still have hope."

Ling Xiang shook his head again, all language ability seemed to have disappeared at this moment, he didn't know how to stop what was happening, so he could only passively resist.

Jiang Yue grabbed his hand again and held it tightly in his palm: "You don't need to accept me now, but don't reject me right away, okay?"

Ling Xiang didn't answer, and didn't even look at him, but desperately tried to withdraw his hand.This time Jiang Yue did not back down, he held Ling Xiang's hand tightly, stared into his eyes, and repeated again: "You still have a long life, and I still have a lot of time and patience, don't refuse now how am I?"

Ling Xiang opened his mouth, and what he uttered was only a trembling sound. Slowly, his body also trembled. He lowered his head to cover up all his expressions, struggling in vain like a trapped animal.

Jiang Yue took a deep breath, then pulled Ling Xiang into the room, the computer screen in the room was still on, and the mage in silver robe stood quietly at the resurrection point, looking helpless and sad.

Ling Xiang stared blankly at the screen, then turned his head to look at Jiang Yue in a daze.

Jiang Yue pushed him onto the chair, and stuffed the mouse into his hand: "Refill your blood, let's PK. As usual, if you win, I will give you the account number; if I win, listen to my request."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Ling Xiang's reaction and went straight into the room opposite.

Just as he expected, there was also a computer there, facing the door, and when he sat down, he could see Ling Xiang's back when he turned around.

"Can the computer work?" He asked casually, and he had already turned on the computer and logged into "Endless Online".

The time is ten o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Yue looked at the system time and couldn't help smiling slightly.

[World] Seven Destroyers and Seven Lives: The Sound of Luna comes to PK, the old rules!

The same words were repeated many times on the world channel, and in the end even the other players stopped, and only the shouts of seven deaths and seven lives remained in the chat area.

Ling Xiang sat there, staring blankly at the screen, and after a long time, he turned his head slowly.

Countless times, when he turned his head, he could see that person looking at him with a smile that was almost pampering; No matter how long we waited, that person never appeared again.

He once thought that this nightmare would never wake up.But at this moment, there was a person sitting in this position, obviously not the same person, but did the same thing.

After the first tears fell, he couldn't control it anymore, Ling Xiang withdrew his gaze, and accepted the competition application that had been flashing on the screen for a long time.

His vision was blurred by tears all the time, he only knew that he was trying his best to win the opponent, every operation was perfect, even better than any PK in the past, but in the end the screen went dark, and he played The words "LOST".

He just maintained the last movement and sat there frozen, his mind went blank and he couldn't make any reaction.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiang finally heard footsteps. He didn't dare to turn his head back, or even move, until Jiang Yue's hand was on his shoulder.

There was no joy in Jiang Yue's voice, he just said calmly and gently: "I won, you have to agree to my request."

Ling Xiang turned his head stiffly to look at him, full of despair.

Jiang Yue smiled, "Go to sleep."

Ling Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, and before he had time to digest Jiang Yue's words, Jiang Yue had already bent down and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"Take a good hot shower, eat something, and go to bed. That's what I want."

Similar words seem to have been heard somewhere.Ling Xiang nodded numbly, but did not move.

Jiang Yue raised the corners of his mouth and patted him on the shoulder: "Rest early, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Ling Xiang nodded again, but never responded.

Jiang Yue sighed, walked out of the room, stopped at the door and looked back at Ling Xiang, before finally turning around and leaving.

The moment he closed the door, he never thought that he would never find Ling Xiang again the next day.
