midsummer night

Returning home in the early hours of the morning, He Xiyuan helped his friend out of the elevator, took out the key and was about to enter the door when a figure suddenly walked out of the corridor.

The man was dressed in black, not tall and ordinary-looking, with angry eyes.I don't know how long I waited in the corridor.

He roared angrily: "Lin Xin, you found a mistress so quickly, it's okay."

He Xiyuan frowned, pushed his roommate into the door, quickly closed the anti-theft door, and locked it.

The other party roared again, hammered on the door and asked, "Who the hell are you!"

He Xiyuan didn't answer, and directly closed the second door with a "bang--", shielding that featureless face from the door.

The other party probably thought He Xiyuan was Beta.The friend sat on a chair by the dining table, looked at He Xiyuan in horror and said, "He saw us outside the door, he won't leave, what should we do?"

He Xiyuan: "Your house has nothing to do with him." After finishing speaking, he poured a glass of water from a glass bottle and put it in front of his friend, saying, "After drinking the water, go take a shower and sleep, don't worry about the rest."

There was a huge knocking sound outside the door. It was unknown what kind of hard object it was. There was the sound of metal hitting a wooden board, sharp and piercing.

A few minutes later, the neighbor next door opened the door a crack, glanced at him, said nothing, and closed the door with a bang.

He Xiyuan looked out from the indoor surveillance, the man stared at the camera, and suddenly showed a weird smile.The lights in the room were dim, and the smile appeared on the monitor.

He Xiyuan held his mobile phone, hesitating whether to call the police.

Will the police come?Will you help him even if you come?Their identities are Beta and Alpha first, and then they are the police, and they have a strong sense of identity, grouping together Beta and Muqiang Alpha.

The phone in his hand vibrated, and the screen lit up with Lu Chengfeng's name in the dark, and he clicked on the message on the lock screen.

Lu Chengfeng: Tomorrow evening, there will be a high school alumni wedding at the manor next to the racecourse. If you are free, you can come together. The car just passes by your residence.

In another scene, he might choose to put his phone aside and pretend he didn't see the message.But in the weary night, amid strangers pacing outside the house, he chose to dial back.

Lu Chengfeng's voice came to mind at night: "Xiyuan?"

He Xiyuan put the phone close to his ear and listened to Lu Chengfeng's breathing.There was an inexplicable panic in his heart, he was panting, and the sound of his breathing reached Lu Chengfeng's ears through the receiver.

Lu Chengfeng: "Sorry, did I wake you up?"

He Xiyuan: "It's okay, I haven't slept yet."

Lu Chengfeng: "Come when you are free, let me know in advance tomorrow."

He Xiyuan: "Well, thank you senior."

Lu Chengfeng: "You're welcome, maybe there are some people you know who are similar to your class."

He Xiyuan: "Well, I'll try my best to come."

Lu Chengfeng: "Okay."

Then he stopped talking, and stood by the window holding his mobile phone. The sky outside the window reflected the lights of the city, and the lights of passing cars flashed from the street outside and reflected on the wall.

His breathing was faster than usual, Lu Chengfeng listened and did not hang up the phone.

Finally he said, "Then I won't bother you—"

He Xiyuan: "Senior—"

Their voices were transmitted from the earpiece to the other side at the same time, and at the same time there was a "bang--" outside the door, which seemed to be the sound of a heavy metal object hitting the door.

Lu Chengfeng: "What's that sound?"

He Xiyuan's voice was a little hoarse, but steady and calm, as if he said with apology: "I recently moved, and I live at a friend's house. Her ex always came to knock on the door, and now she stands at the door and won't leave."

As if to confirm his words, there were two loud bangs from the door, and the sound that exploded in He Xiyuan's ears, passed through the receiver, like two gunshots.

Lu Chengfeng: "Where is your address?"

He Xiyuan: "I don't know if calling the police is useful. If he doesn't leave after a while, I will call the police."

Lu Chengfeng: "Address."

He seemed to hear Lu Chengfeng say to someone next to him, "Prepare the car."

He Xiyuan had no choice but to say: "West district, the Sanyuanli community next to the botanical garden."

Lu Chengfeng: "Don't hang up the phone, lock the doors of the living room and the room, no matter who comes, don't open the door."

After a while, He Xiyuan replied, "Okay."

He was relieved a lot, as if he knew in advance that there would be wind and rain at night, and the rain would take away the heat and heat of summer.

Lu Chengfeng's car couldn't find a parking space outside the complex, so it parked on the side of the road a block away, and then entered the complex with the bodyguard and driver.

The security guard sat in the booth and dozed off on the table, and did not stop him.

Lu Chengfeng got out of the elevator and glanced at the surrounding corridors, but there was no one there.He knocked the door three times and said, "It's me."

He Xiyuan opened the door. He hadn't changed his clothes when he came back, and there was a bit of shimmering glitter painted by a friend on his face. The glitter that was supposed to be on the brow bone fell on the nose and cheekbones.

He seemed to be very tired, but when he saw Lu Chengfeng, he suddenly felt very sorry for causing trouble to the senior.He took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it to Lu Chengfeng.He held a plastic water bottle in his hand, and the water flowed down the bottle, and his fingers were also stained with water.

Lu Chengfeng looked at his face and took a sip of water, but felt a fire burning in his throat.

The bodyguard stood outside the door and patrolled the corridor, while the driver waited for him in the car downstairs.

Lin Xin should have fallen asleep in the room, He Xiyuan suppressed his voice when speaking.His face was a little red, from exhaustion and high concentration, and perhaps from the music and a small amount of alcohol in the evening.

Lu Chengfeng has never seen such a He Xiyuan, and he hasn't been to such a house for a long time.

This is a very new house with a small area and two rooms.There are not many items and decorations, simple and practical. The people who live here have spent some time buying them, and then they live here with peace of mind.

There was a big suitcase in the living room, and He Xiyuan said embarrassedly: "I just moved here, so I haven't had time to pack a lot of things."

It was already past morning, and it was quiet outside the door, only He Xiyuan and Lu Chengfeng were sitting face to face in the room.Lu Chengfeng was wearing a white shirt with two buttons under the neck undone, revealing the cotton shirt inside, which was different from the usual suit and leather shoes.

Lu Chengfeng wanted to see if he was okay, but from He Xiyuan's clothes, there were no obvious marks, and there were no scars on his hands. A little bright powder left on his face gleamed under the light, as if it was about to fall on his face. in the eyes.

He intended to see He Xiyuan's condition, but at a certain moment, He Xiyuan raised his eyes to him, his eyes were tired but clear, and the corners of his eyes were a little red.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help stretching out his hand, which landed on the side of He Xiyuan's cheek, touched He Xiyuan's face with his thumb, and said, "Take a good rest, don't worry about the rest."

He Xiyuan didn't answer, the skin on his cheek was a little hot, just now the sound of breathing from the receiver fell on Lu Chengfeng's palm.In addition to breathing, there are pheromones floating in the air.

Lu Chengfeng's hand slipped from He Xiyuan's shoulder to his arm, forearm and wrist, and finally landed on He Xiyuan's hand.He picked up He Xiyuan's hand, and saw a light gold ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which had no decorations before.

Lu Chengfeng didn't speak, but looked at the ring for several seconds.The bodyguard's phone rang, and he was told on the phone that there were footprints and signs of movement in the hallway and stairwell, but there was no one.

Lu Chengfeng's palm covered He Xiyuan's fingers, which were wide, dry and warm.He looked down at He Xiyuan and said, "Call me if you need anything."

He Xiyuan didn't take his hand out of Lu Chengfeng's palm, his body seemed a little stiff.He nodded and said, "Okay."

He stood in the elevator and followed Lu Chengfeng downstairs, sending him to the car.Lu Chengfeng turned around and zipped up the front of his jacket for him, saying, "Go back, don't catch a cold."

After the door was closed, it didn't start, as if it was waiting for him to go back first.He Xiyuan raised his hand and turned around. He turned his head once, then went straight into the door and saw the car moving.

Going up from the elevator, he looked at his reflection in the elevator mirror. There were a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and his appearance seemed to be more mature than two years ago, and maturity is also a kind of aging.

The elevator door opened, and there was an Alpha in black standing outside the door, with a weird smile on his face.

The surveillance camera at the door of the home appeared to be covered by a black plastic bag.

He Xiyuan stood at the elevator entrance, looking at the man.The other party was about his age and didn't look like an Alpha, but his facial expressions and movements wanted to make him look more like an Alpha.

His complexion was not good, his eyes were black, and he asked, "You live with Lin Xin, who are you?"

He Xiyuan smiled and said, "I am your uncle."

The other party looked fierce, took two steps towards him, and said, "When did you hook up with Lin Xin?"

He Xiyuan: "You guess."

The other party: "The first half year?"

He Xiyuan: "Wrong guess."

The more flustered he was, the calmer he appeared on the surface.When he moved here, he had just become familiar with the structure of the corridor, knew the location of the elevator entrance and the staircase entrance, and quickly calculated the fastest way to call the police in his mind.

The wine I drank at night has been decomposed in the body, leaving only the boundless silence of the night. Occasionally, there is a sound of parking on other floors from the elevator shaft, which seems to faintly imply that there are still people active at night.

The lights in the corridor were always on at night, and the light was white with a bluish tinge, shining on He Xiyuan's face, which looked bloodless.

He is about the same height as the opponent, but he doesn't necessarily have a chance of winning.

He Xiyuan put one hand in his pocket, tilted his head, and asked, "You don't like Lin Xin. I heard that she paid the rent before, and she broke up with you after buying the house. It seems that you are actually short of money, right?" ?”

The other party: "You know what a fart."

He Xiyuan: "Let me guess again, you originally wanted to pool money with her to buy a house, and bring your parents to live in by the way, and then let her slowly repay the mortgage with you. Let her family help, maybe you can pay it off in a few years .”

The other party looked at him gloomyly: "What are you interrupting my previous plan with her? What are you? You live in her room and sleep with her."

He Xiyuan: "I don't want her or anything, I just want to have fun. As for you, you not only want money, people, but also her children. You want everything, but you have nothing in the end. There are so many Alphas and Betas on the street, what do you think? What is she trying to do to you?"

The other party was already so angry that his chest was heaving up and down, and he was about to rush over at any time. He Xiyuan touched the keys and mobile phone in his pocket, and estimated his speed. He should not be able to enter and lock the door normally.

He looked at the elevator button, thought for a while, and pressed the fire button with lightning speed, and then quickly dodged into the stairwell.

There is something to say: this ex-A has been staying for a long time and is very familiar with the corridor environment, so he hid after Lu Chengfeng came.
