stay away from love

How many days have passed since then Ling Xiang has lost count.

He didn't know what he was holding on to.

Some things may already be understood in my heart, but I still dare not admit it, or maybe I don’t have the courage to admit it, and I feel that this is enough.

Ye Tingshu would come every day, sometimes he would talk a lot, and sometimes he would just quietly stand aside and then leave.

Jiang Yue never appeared again.

Until Ling Xiang thought that Jiang Yue would never come again, Jiang Yue appeared in front of him again.

The clothes were wrinkled, with all kinds of suspicious stains on them, and the unkempt and bearded face looked like a different person.

Ling Xiang stared at him for a long time, not understanding why this man behaved like this.

Jiang Yue was aggressive, grabbing Ling Xiang's hand and pulling him to go out.

Ling Xiang panicked all of a sudden: "You, what are you doing!"

"Take you to see 'Ye Tingyu'."

Ling Xiang's whole body was shaken, and the struggle that he had had before had stopped completely, and he just let Jiang Yue pull him out of the door in a daze.

Jiang Yue didn't explain any further, he stuffed him into the passenger seat without saying a word, stepped on the accelerator and rushed away, and drove all the way to a village in the outskirts.

Ling Xiang stared blankly at the scenery outside the window. He didn't hesitate to get out of the car until Jiang Yue opened the door.

"This way." Jiang Yue said, then walked straight towards the path in the village.

Ling Xiang hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

Jiang Yue has been very silent, walking in the path, looking around from time to time, as if looking for something.Ling Xiang followed behind him, gradually getting a little nervous, and subconsciously looked around, but couldn't see anything.

Finally, Jiang Yue stopped in front of a four or five-story old house, checked the house number again, then suddenly turned his hand and grabbed Ling Xiang's wrist, and then walked up the narrow stairs.

"and many more……"

Jiang Yue's movements were too strong, Ling Xiang was about to struggle subconsciously, but Jiang Yue walked quickly, and soon stopped in front of a house on the third floor, and knocked on the door without hesitation.

He knocked urgently and hard, and there were complaints from the rooms on the left and right, and finally the door was opened, and a man in his thirties poked his head out and asked impatiently: "Who? Go to the next door to collect debts, knock on the wrong door..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jiang Yue pushed the half-open door aside with one hand, raised his hand and punched the man in the face.

The man was beaten back three steps, and everyone was stunned by the beating. He held his nose for a long time and couldn't react.

Jiang Yue ignored him at all, dragged Ling Xiang and rushed into the room. The room was small, and it was easy to find the computer in the room. He pushed Ling Xiang towards the computer: "See clearly."

Ling Xiang was pushed and staggered two steps, almost fell on the computer table, the tip of his nose almost hit the screen, and with just one glance, the picture displayed on it stunned him on the spot.

It was the screen of "Endless Online". On the head of the purple-robed warlock in the center of the screen, there was the ID of Seven Destroyers and Seven Lives.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you beating people casually..." At this moment, the man finally came to his senses, and rushed into the room holding his nose, pointing at Jiang Yue, and was about to curse.

Jiang Yue was like a firecracker being lit, before he finished speaking, he rushed over and grabbed his collar and punched him again.

This time the man took precautions, and his reaction was much quicker. He turned his head and waved his hand and punched back, and the two quickly wrestled.

It took Ling Xiang a while to turn around, staring blankly at the two wrestling people on the floor of the room, unable to even comprehend the situation in front of him for a while.

And the fight between the two of them has become disorderly, they are not the same, so they simply exchange punches with each other, as if trying to see who will fall first.

Blood came out from the nostrils and the corners of the mouth, and the situation became extremely tragic in an instant.

Ling Xiang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed forward to help Jiang Yue, but he didn't expect that the man was swinging his fist, brushing the tip of his nose, before Ling Xiang could get scared, he heard Jiang Yue growl , the whole person desperately pressed on the man, pushed his knees on the man's belly, and directly pinched the man's neck with his hands.

His expression was so ferocious that Ling Xiang was startled: "Jiang Yue!"

The man struggled for a while and felt his neck being pinched even tighter, so he gave up and let go of his hand, making a gesture of surrender.

Jiang Yue just half-kneeled and held him down, gasping for breath while staring at the man fiercely: "What's the password?"

The man froze for a moment, not understanding what he meant at all.

"Password, the password of the account of Qi Mi Qi Sheng!" Jiang Yue looked a little anxious.

The man showed a trace of astonishment, as if he realized why he was beaten at this moment, he looked at Jiang Yue fixedly, his eyes became a little weird.

"If you don't speak, I'll kill you."

"Say, say, I'll say!"

Jiang Yue's voice was not loud, but his unshaven face with blood on it looked a bit murderous. The man probably never thought that he would be chased and beaten up for stealing an account , was frightened by Jiang Yue at this time, and was actually intimidated.

Hearing that he reported the password tremblingly, Jiang Yue looked back at Ling Xiang: "Go try it, change the password and data."

"Changing, changing the data requires a special method..."

Hearing the man's words, Jiang Yue frowned, finally took off the man's shirt and tied his hands behind his back, and then brought him to the computer: "You say, let's do it, don't play tricks if you don't want to die."

The man responded repeatedly, and after talking for a long time, he finally directed Jiang Yue to modify the password and data.

Jiang Yue turned around, looked at the angry man, and patted his face with a smile: "I beat you today because of this account. Be smart next time, don't steal the account that shouldn't be stolen, and shouldn't be cheated." Don't lie, understand?"

The man curled his lips and said nothing.

"That's it for this time. If you want to report to the police, you can report it, but well, it's more than money, you are definitely not as good as him..." Jiang Yue paused, did not finish his sentence, only changed the subject, and pointed Ling Xiang, "If there is a next time, then we can only alarm Brother Shan."

When the man heard Jiang Yue talking about money, he still had some disdain on his face, but when Jiang Yue said "Brother Shan", his expression suddenly changed, and he seemed very peaceful.

"Definitely not, definitely not."

Only then did Jiang Yue nodded in satisfaction: "That's how it is."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the man, he just picked up Ling Xiang who was still in a daze, and strode out.

Walking all the way back to the car, Jiang Yue drove the car for a long distance, and then he let out a long sigh of relief, smiled and wiped his blood-stained nose: "Okay, it's resolved."

Ling Xiang moved, but did not speak.

Jiang Yue immediately sensed his strangeness, and drove for a while, and parked the car on the side of the road before he turned his head to look at Ling Xiang.

Ling Xiang still looked devastated, as if he hadn't come out of the illusion yet.

"Ling ring?"

Ling Xiang moved again, and after a long time, his eyes slowly moved to Jiang Yue's face.

"You see, that's just a liar." Jiang Yue said without embellishment, "Ye Tingyu died a long time ago."

Ling Xiang remained silent the entire time, without even moving, like a puppet that had lost its soul. After a long time, Jiang Yue saw tears rolling down his cheeks.

Jiang Yue's heart softened all of a sudden: "Okay, I got my account back..."

Ling Xiang didn't speak, but the tears fell more fiercely, and in the end he even whimpered softly.

Jiang Yue reached out and patted his shoulder, hesitated for a long time, then moved forward gently, stroking Ling Xiang's back and let him lean on his shoulder.

"I got my account back, I will change the password again when I go back, and I will take care of all the anti-theft that can be done, and I will never lose it again." Jiang Yue comforted in a low voice, and slowly lowered his eyes, "I didn't Keep it safe, there will be no next time. Although you lost some equipment, you are an upstart, and you don’t care about the little money..."

"Why do you want to get it back?"

Jiang Yue's words were interrupted, but Ling Xiang's voice was so soft that he thought it was just a hallucination, he was stunned for a long time, and then called out in disbelief: "Ling Xiang?"

Ling Xiang didn't speak any more, and the tears fell drop by drop on Jiang Yue's pants, which was so hot that people couldn't bear to live.

Jiang Yue also gradually fell silent, and after a long time, he gently pushed Ling Xiang away, and looked down at Ling Xiang's face, but Ling Xiang quickly covered his face with his hand.

Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment, then finally leaned over and kissed him on the lips through his hand.

Ling Xiang was shocked all over, retracted his hands almost reflexively, and ducked back.

"Ling Xiang?" Jiang Yue didn't expect his reaction to be so intense. Seeing Ling Xiang's appearance at this time, he felt a little regretful.

"I..." Ling Xiang just shook his head, but he was still speechless. The pain almost habitually rose from the bottom of his heart, making him unable to breathe.He lowered his eyes, trying to isolate the world between the two of them.

"Ling Xiang, look at me."

Ling Xiang didn't look up.

Jiang Yue stretched out his hand and held the hand that had clenched into a fist at some point.He knew what this person was suffering from, but this time, he couldn't back down: "This is not betrayal."

Ling Xiang was shocked, but Jiang Yue didn't seem to notice it, and just continued in a low voice: "Ye Tingyu sacrificed his life for you to live, not to make you suffer for the rest of your life. You have been trapped in the past, rejecting all Happy, can he feel at ease?"

Ling Xiang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.He raised his head and stared blankly at Jiang Yue, with a hint of bewilderment gradually appearing in his eyes.

Happiness... yeah, that's what the guy said.

The moment he thought of this, Ling Xiang felt relieved, but the next moment, he was suffocated by a stronger sense of panic and guilt.

The heart was beating violently uncontrollably, and the panic also rose to the extreme. Ling Xiang withdrew his hand forcefully: "Stop talking!"

"Ling ring..."

Ling Xiang didn't speak any more, but quickly opened the car door and was about to run out.Jiang Yue pulled the car door faster than him, and the two of them were in a stalemate like that, neither of them spoke again.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiang asked hoarsely, "Brother Shan... who is it?"

Jiang Yue looked at him quietly, and after a long time, he closed the car door forcefully, and sat back: "It's the boss of the underworld in the area where the village is."

"You...know the underworld?"

"If you don't know him, just say something to scare him." Jiang Yue smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Ling Xiang responded casually: "How do you know if you don't know?"

Jiang Yue smiled slightly: "I don't know each other, but our president does."

Ling Xiang frowned slightly, but did not speak again.

"Our president is amazing. People from all walks of life can get along with each other. This time it's thanks to him..."

Ling Xiang lowered his eyes and never answered Jiang Yue's words.

As Jiang Yue spoke, he also slowly fell silent.

"I'll take you home."

Ye Tingshu probably also received the news. When Ling Xiang returned home, he saw her busy in the kitchen.

Standing blankly at the door, Ling Xiang looked at the light in the kitchen and suddenly felt guilty.

At this time, Ye Tingshu also seemed to have heard the sound, and poked his head out. The two looked at each other, and Ye Tingshu noticed the strangeness first: "Ah Xiang?"

Ling Xiang froze there, and after a while, he slowly relaxed: "I'm back."

"Well, the meal is ready, there are only two dishes left..." Ye Tingshu put down the things in his hands with a smile, and greeted him, "Ah, where is Jiang Yue? Isn't he with you?"

Hearing Jiang Yue's name, Ling Xiang became nervous again, and after a while he shook his head stiffly: "He's gone home."

Ye Tingshu slowly withdrew her smile, looked at Ling Xiang's face thoughtfully, until Ling Xiang was at a loss, then she turned and walked into the kitchen as if nothing had happened: "He told me, take You went to ask for the account back, I thought he would come back with you. Fortunately, I even asked for leave, and I am ready to celebrate..."

Ling Xiang's eyes were slightly warm: "You always ask for leave, be careful to lose your job."

"Anyway, I'm really desperate, and you still support me."

Ling Xiang was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't expected her to say that, and after a while he smiled and replied: "...Okay."

"Why does it sound like a feeling of displeasure!" Ye Tingshu feigned anger while getting busy in the kitchen, "Isn't it natural for a brother to raise a sister?"

Ling Xiang was stunned again, as if something was touched in his heart, he became nervous for no reason when he saw the busy figure reflected in the frosted kitchen window.

Ye Tingshu was silent, and after a long time, he spoke again: "Brother... At that time, when I held your hand and said to me with a smile, "This is my lover", I thought, that's great, I have more A brother."

Ling Xiang blinked, trying to escape, but felt unable to move.

"You always say that after your brother is gone, you have been relying on me, but it is not true, I am relying on you. Because my 'brother', you are the only one left, so don't..." Ye Tingshu said The voice became smaller and smaller, and the following words did not go on.

She stood in the kitchen, staring blankly at the ingredients, suddenly regretted, and didn't understand why she said these words.

Until a hand touched her head.She trembled all over, and then heard Ling Xiang's voice: "You are also... my only family."

She finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried silently.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and the two chatted aimlessly while watching TV. The conversation in the kitchen seemed to make both of them a little shy, and each tried their best to avoid the topic.

It wasn't until after dinner that Ye Tingshu started to clean up, that Ling Xiang helped and said vaguely: "At that time, I just wanted to go and see, but I accidentally lost my way... and these few days... in the future Not anymore."

Ye Tingshu paused for a while, and after a long while, she responded in a low voice, but Ling Xiang could see the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

His mood seemed to become more relaxed, and Ling Xiang's movements also quickened. While rushing to wash the dishes, Ye Tingshu smiled and helped.

After a while, the phone rang, and Ye Tingshu gave him a push: "Look, the phone is ringing, go and answer it quickly. I'll do the laundry."

Ling Xiang was pushed outside the door, seeing that Ye Tingshu had already taken over the work, he had no choice but to go to the living room and pick up the phone.

It was Jiang Yue who showed an incoming call on the screen, he hesitated for a moment, but didn't answer right away.

Ye Tingshu seemed to have noticed something strange, and shouted from a distance from the kitchen: "What's wrong? Wrong number?"

"Ah... um." Ling Xiang answered vaguely, quickly hung up the phone, put down the phone and walked into the kitchen.Just a few steps away, the phone rang again.

Ye Tingshu stopped his hands and poked his head out to look at him: "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Ling Xiang stood there in embarrassment, and only after a while did he turn around to get the phone again, and Jiang Yue's name was still displayed on the screen.

"……Hello?"

"Why did you hang up the phone just now?" Jiang Yue's voice came from the other end of the phone, as gentle as ever, as if nothing had happened between them.

Ling Xiang remained silent and did not answer.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Jiang Yue was already used to it, seeing that he didn't speak, he went on asking.

Ling Xiang hesitated for a moment, then replied again: "Yes."

"Let's play the game."

"I, I'm busy." Ling Xiang finished casually, turned his head subconsciously, and saw Ye Tingshu poking his head out of the kitchen to look at him again, Ling Xiang felt his face heat up.

He didn't know what Ye Tingshu thought of Jiang Yue, nor what Ye Tingshu thought about his relationship with Jiang Yue, but when he met Ye Tingshu's blunt gaze, Ling Xiang still felt a little guilty.

"It's okay, wait until you're done." The gentle voice of the person on the phone sounded.

Ling Xiang still wanted to refuse, but after looking at the kitchen for the last time, he responded in a low voice: "En."

"Then go get busy, I'll wait for you." Jiang Yue said with a smile, and hung up the phone first.

Ling Xiang stared at the phone in a daze, and then put it down after a while.

Ye Tingshu's voice came from the kitchen: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Ling Xiang responded in a low voice, stood there for a while, finally turned around and walked into the room, turned on the computer and logged in to the game.

After going online, he didn't receive a message from Jiang Yue immediately as he expected. Ling Xiang was stunned for a while, and then hesitantly clicked on the friend list after waiting for a while.

A small light was on in front of Qi Mie Qi Sheng's name, indicating that the other party was online at this time.

Looking at the little lamp, Ling Xiang gradually became afraid.He didn't dare to think about who was on the other side of the network.

Already...will never be that person again.

The movement of Ling Xiang's hands slowly stopped, and the mage on the screen also stopped, standing there quietly looking at him outside the screen.

At this moment, a message from the world channel was refreshed in the scrolling message bar.

[World] Seven Destroyers and Seven Births: The Voice of the Luna Comes to PK, the Sleeping Hill of Light, the old rules!

Ling Xiang's hands trembled, and he froze there for a while, not knowing how to react.

Jiang Yue didn't give up when he couldn't wait for a response, the same message began to appear on the screen repeatedly, one after another, Ling Xiang's heartbeat seemed to speed up with each message, he slowly clenched the mouse , but never moved.

"Ah Xiang, come to eat grapes, they are very fresh..." Ye Tingshu walked in with a plate, and saw Ling Xiang sitting there stiffly, with a look of bewilderment.

She froze for a moment, then approached silently, and when she saw the content on the screen clearly, she couldn't help but ask, "This is...Jiang Yue?"

In fact, the answer was obvious, but she still couldn't help asking, and when she finished speaking, she saw Ling Xiang's hand holding the mouse tightly.

"Don't care about him? How long has he been shouting?"

Ling Xiang seemed to realize that she had come in at this moment. He was clearly startled and looked back at Ye Tingshu. Then he controlled his mage to the teleportation point and teleported to the sleeping Hill of Light.

Everything was on the screen, and one could see the dark warlock wearing a dark purple robe standing not far away, and a new message had just been refreshed on the message bar.Ling Xiang still hesitated and did not move, the application for the competition had already been sent.

"Accept it, accept it." Ye Tingshu urged, "I haven't seen Jiang Yue's skills yet, is his PK skill good?"

Ling Xiang accepted the competition under her urging, and the screen suddenly switched to combat mode.

Ye Tingshu sat down on the bed next to him, looked at the screen and said curiously: "Speaking of which, what does that old rule refer to? It can't be... Hearing about what happened to you before, he learned to shout nonsense, right?"

Ling Xiang didn't answer her.Ye Tingshu waited for a while before he realized that the atmosphere in the room had become tense. The sound of typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse mixed together, and the strong rhythm carried a sense of seriousness.

She began to turn her attention to the screen. The mage's attack and defense were obviously higher than the dark warlock's. When advancing and retreating, the dark warlock's positioning and timing of casting skills were obviously better than the mage's.

"That's amazing, Ah Xiang, if you didn't have two more pieces of equipment than him, you might be defeated in 30 seconds, right?"

Ling Xiang still didn't respond.

When Ye Tingshu turned his head to look, he realized that Ling Xiang was staring at the screen with all his attention. He tried to be perfect in every operation, but it always seemed a bit inferior on the screen.

Ling Xiang was serious.

Ye Tingshu could feel this deeply, she pursed her lips and did not speak again.

The blood bar on the screen, which symbolizes the life of the mage, was eventually polished off bit by bit. When the screen went dark, a huge word "LOST" floated in the center of the screen.Ye Tingshu heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Xiang.

There was no expression on Ling Xiang's face, he was still staring at the screen intently, his hand was still holding the mouse tightly, as if his battle was not over yet.

"Ah Xiang?" Ye Tingshu felt a little nervous and called out.

Ling Xiang lowered his head to hide the expression on his face, and said nothing.

Ye Tingshu was even more at a loss. He didn't know what to say for a while, and subconsciously scanned the screen, but saw that there was an additional current message in the message bar.

[Current] Seven Destroyers and Seven Lives: Seems like we've made progress.But this time I still won, the account will continue to be kept by me, you have to promise me one request.

"Account? Request? You... use this account to bet? How many times have you PKed?"

Listening to Ye Tingshu's series of questions, Ling Xiang finally raised his head to look at the screen, saw Jiang Yue's message and the smiling face following him, he just bit his lip slowly and did not respond.

After a while, Jiang Yue started sending messages again.

[Current] Qi Mie Qi Sheng: Hey, talk.You don't want to deny it, do you?I really took out my account to gamble.

The words had been made very clear, Ye Tingshu didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Ling Xiang's silence, and called out again with a bit of worry: "Ah Xiang?"

Ling Xiang stretched out his hand, but instead of replying to Jiang Yue's message, he pressed the shortcut key to clear the dialog window, clearing all the content in the message bar.

"Ah..." Ye Tingshu opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words back.

At this time, another message was refreshed on the screen.

[Currently] Seven Destroyers and Seven Lives: I don’t have too many requirements, so come out and watch a movie with me on weekends, isn’t it difficult?

Behind is a smug smile.

Ling Xiang quickly pressed the shortcut key to clear the dialog window again, and almost buried his head on the table.

Even though he was still separated by the Internet, and separated by such a long distance, it was just words in the game, but the embarrassment and guilt of being caught in bed made him feel extremely embarrassed.He didn't dare to look at Ye Tingshu's expression, and he didn't even dare to take back his hand from pressing the shortcut key.

Ye Tingshu couldn't help but laugh.

"This man...is really amazing."

Ling Xiang was slightly taken aback, not understanding what she meant, but just quietly waiting for her to continue.

It's just that Ye Tingshu didn't continue. She waited for a while, and seeing that Ling Xiang was still bowing her head, she finally let out a long sigh, stood up, walked in front of Ling Xiang, and knelt down to look at his face while stroking Ling Xiang's shoulders. Face.

The forced eye contact made Ling Xiang even more embarrassed, he just looked away in embarrassment, not knowing how to deal with it.

"Ah Xiang." There seemed to be a hint of joy in Ye Tingshu's voice, which made Ling Xiang very puzzled, "Aren't you replying to him? Are you trying to deny it?"

Ling Xiang blinked slowly, not understanding what she meant.

"He... likes you very much, right? What about you, can't you accept him?"

Ling Xiang was shocked all over, raised his head slightly to look at Ye Tingshu, and shook his head gently after a long time.

"You don't like him? What do you mean by shaking your head? It's not that you don't like him, or, you don't like him?"

The overly persistent questioning made Ling Xiang a little embarrassed, and he finally chose to remain silent.

But Ye Tingshu took his mobile phone and began to search for the address book.Ling Xiang didn't know what she wanted to do, so he could only sit there and look at her helplessly.

In the end, Ye Tingshu shoved the phone into his hand: "If you don't like it, just tell him directly, tell him clearly, you don't like him!"

Ling Xiang caught the phone in a panic, stared at Ye Tingshu with wide-eyed eyes, opened his mouth a few times, but couldn't speak no matter what.

Ye Tingshu just stared at him intently: "It's not your character to be hesitant. When you liked my brother back then, didn't you just drive a car and block him at the school basketball court to confess your love? Why are you hesitating? If you don't like it, tell me Tell him in vain, let him give up completely."

A daze gradually appeared in Ling Xiang's eyes. He sat there holding his cell phone tightly, helpless like a lost child.

The room fell silent, and after a while, Jiang Yue's voice came from the phone.

It was so small that it was almost inaudible, but Ling Xiang could still hear Jiang Yue's anxiety in the intermittent voice, he could even clearly hear that person calling his name one after another.

"Tell him clearly!" Ye Tingshu didn't keep him silent, grabbed Ling Xiang's hand roughly and asked him to put the phone to his ear.

Jiang Yue's voice quickly expanded in his ears: "Ling Xiang, talk! What's wrong with you? Ling Xiang!"

"I..." After a long time, Ling Xiang finally opened his mouth slowly.

It was just one word, and the other side of the phone completely fell silent, but Ling Xiang couldn't continue.

He knew that Ye Tingshu's words were correct, and he should speak clearly to make Jiang Yue give up, and also... let himself give up.

It's just that once he was about to speak, it was like a sharp knife slashing across his heart. It wasn't heavy, but it hurt his heart a little bit. He tried again and again, but he was still powerless.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally heard Jiang Yue over there sighing softly: "Ling Xiang?"

This sound was like the last grass that broke the camel's back. Ling Xiang hung up the phone almost reflexively, and the phone slipped from his palm. He also lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.

"Ah Xiang!" Ye Ting quickly stepped forward to catch the mobile phone that had slipped from his lap, and called out while grabbing Ling Xiang's hand.

"I can't do it, Ting Shu, I can't do it..."

Ye Tingshu also seemed to be in a panic, holding Ling Xiang's arm tightly, as if to give him strength: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if we can't do it. Let's forget about it and act as if nothing happened tonight Yes! I washed the fruit, let's eat..."

She couldn't finish her sentence, she stood up and tried to pull Ling Xiang up too, but failed.

Ling Xiang just kept shaking his head, he pushed Ye Tingshu away, and sat there with his head in his arms: "No, you don't understand..."

Seeing him tugging at his hair vigorously, Ye Tingshu felt both sad and helpless with that painful and inexpressible gesture.

She squatted down again, this time she didn't speak, and didn't touch Ling Xiang again, she just waited quietly, waiting for Ling Xiang to speak out.

She waited for a long time, so long that she felt that her feet were numb from squatting, before she heard the sound of Ling Xiang.

"I know..." Ling Xiang's voice was very soft, sour and hoarse, "I should clearly reject him and let him give up. But I can't do it! If I say it, everything will be over completely. I don't want to just This is the end!

"If the account can't be found, isn't it good to pretend that it's Ting Yu? But he insists on meddling in other people's business, just for the account, and beats up his nose and face with people, like a fool...

"I really don't know what else I can do, I can't do anything! I can't do anything... I even wish I could just drag it on like this, I, I... I feel selfish and shameless, I am like this ...Why wasn't I the one who died? Why..."

From the initial hesitation, to the uncontrollable intensity, to the powerless despair at the end.

Ye Tingshu has never seen this person's heart and pain more clearly than at this moment.He has been embarrassing himself all the time, even if it's just a thought of cheating, it makes him miserable.

"This is not betrayal." Ye Tingshu's voice was as low as a sigh, "Ah Xiang, even if you fall in love with someone else, it doesn't mean you betrayed your brother. He must want you more than making you live in the pain of losing him all your life." Happiness can be regained, in any way."

Ling Xiang was shocked all over, but he never let go of the hand covering his face.

"I hope I'm happy..." After a long time, he smiled softly.

It's like crying, and it makes people feel sad.

"I know. At that time, he held my hand and told me to be happy... The blood kept flowing, and he couldn't stop it, and he was still talking about happiness!"

It was not the first time Ye Tingshu heard Ling Xiang talk about the scene of his brother's death, but it was the first time he heard him describe the situation at that time in such detail. The short number was shocking. She didn't know that she said this with anger. All the ringing sounds, what was he thinking in his heart, and how painful it was.

It took her a lot of effort to find her voice: "Because that's my brother's hope. So you..."

"He said the same thing as you." Ling Xiang interrupted her.

Ye Tingshu was stunned for a moment, not understanding who Ling Xiang was referring to by "he".

Ling Xiang lowered his head: "He also told me that this is not a betrayal; he also told me that this is Ting Yu's hope. Do you know what I thought at the time?"

Ye Tingshu has slowly figured it out, she can hear from Ling Xiang's words, what she said just now, Jiang Yue has also told Ling Xiang, but obviously, Ling Xiang was not moved.Hearing Ling Xiang's question at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little bit @, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.

Ling Xiang didn't seem to be waiting for her answer: "I immediately remembered the scene of Tingyu dying in front of me. I remembered that he told me when he died, telling me not to cry, but to be happy... I was surprised at that time. Feeling relieved! I feel like I finally found a reason, a reason to convince myself it’s not a betrayal, a reason to fall in love with someone else, a... a reason that might even make me forget about him!”

As he spoke, his voice became sharper. Ling Xiang seemed to lose control of his whole body. He yelled out the words in his heart almost collapsed, and the tears flowed down uncontrollably. powerless.

Ye Tingshu tried to grab his hand to make him stop talking, but Ling Xiang just desperately wanted to get rid of her, and continued sentence by sentence: "It is because I said I love him that he accepts this feeling, and he has to face it. The pressure that could not have appeared in his life at all, he had to walk a different path from ordinary people, and even almost gave up all his family and friends! He traded his life for mine, and in the end I actually found such a reason And I feel relieved! This me, this me..."

It seemed that he couldn't continue talking about the following words, Ling Xiang began to bump his head on the table, comparing his strength, and after a while, bright red blood appeared on his head, Ye Tingshu desperately wanted to hold him, until the end Finally, desperately, she opened her arms and hugged him vigorously.

Ling Xiang was still writhing his body, tears seemed to fall more fiercely, all his strength seemed to be exhausted in the accusation against himself, and finally he could only close his eyes in despair: "Ting Shu, I worked very hard. ..."
