sin city redemption

people together. "

"We can."

Lu Xuan smiled blankly, "Do you really think it's okay?"

Shen Chuan remained silent, looked at him quietly for a while before asking: "Are you angry?"

shit! "Shouldn't I be angry? Being lied to around like a fool, and still saying what I mean in front of that person, saying a bunch of disgusting things, isn't it funny?!" He broke out suddenly.

"I didn't laugh at you." Shen Chuan firmly denied.

Shaking off his hand, Lu Xuan turned her head away, not wanting to say anything more.

Indifference is more overwhelming than anger, so Shen Chuan turned Lu Xuan's head and made him face himself, "Lu Xuan, give me a little time, give us a little time, at that time it's my fault, I won't I should have left you without a word."

Hearing his words, Lu Xuan felt her nose a little sore.He thought he would never hear the person in the past explaining to him, and it turned out to be a trick, but he felt far less expected than he imagined.

"Why are you leaving?"

"...Because I don't know how to face you, face you, after I found out what mistake I made."

Lu Xuan didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask again, because he knew in his heart that Shen Chuan would not tell the whole story.

Pulling away Shen Chuan's hand, he turned his head and looked at the ground.

"Lu Xuan..."

"Don't talk, I don't want to hear you right now." Lu Xuan covered her ears irritably.

Shen Chuan didn't continue.

Later, Lu Xuan spoke in a very low voice, as if speaking to herself.

"Why are you showing up again? Why isn't it always Chen Chuan? I already... I'm about to fall in love with Chen Chuan..."

Shen Chuan frowned, and could no longer hold his shoulders in a conniving manner, and roughly pulled his chin with one hand, and blocked his mouth without hesitation.

Shen Chuan had been rough on the bed before, but it had never been like this, just a kiss made Lu Xuan feel like she would be eaten.

But even though her lips hurt from being bitten, Lu Xuan wanted to laugh a little, because there was a kind of revenge-like pleasure welling up in her heart.

He didn't show up before, so he fell in love with someone else——

"You said that you like me, if he is an old man who is 80 or [-] years old, you also like it? Huh?" After crazily biting and kissing, Shen Chuan let go of Lu Xuan a little, and asked sullenly.

Lu Xuan gasped dissatisfied, "I fucking like the old man! Can you control it?!"

"Can the old man satisfy you in bed?"

Lu Xuan became even angrier, stood up and pointed at him and yelled, "You are a fucking old man!"

"Lu Xuan, don't force me to tie you up with a chain, although I think that's the only way you will stay by my side obediently." Shen Chuan also stood up, sneered twice, evil and cold.

Being threatened like this, Lu Xuan suddenly felt aggrieved, but more out of aggrieved, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he scratched his hair randomly, and accused, "You left first."

Shen Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then answered immediately as if he had promised, "I won't leave this time."

"I don't believe it." Lu Xuan said word by word, "I don't believe you."

At that moment, he was sure that he saw Shen Chuan showing a sad expression.

Taking two steps forward, Shen Chuan took Lu Xuan's hand and placed it on his cheek.

"Lu Xuan, I like you."

This was another familiar movement, and he vaguely remembered that this man had done this before, but now their faces and the backs of their hands were cold, and neither could warm the other.

Maybe it's been too long, he has long accepted the fact that expectations have turned into fantasies, and just relying on those little memories every day is enough. Now that the fantasies suddenly come true, he suddenly understands that many things are different from before.

"What was your relationship with me before?"

Shen Chuan was silent.

"Why can't I remember our past?"

Still relatively silent.

"Mori said I drank your blood—"

This time, Shen Chuan finally nodded. "If you don't do that you will die."

"But I don't want that." He didn't want to live forever.

"I will let you live with me." Shen Chuan said firmly.

Lu Xuan didn't reply, but pointed to her right eye and asked, "What is this?"

Shen Chuan looked at him with some hesitation.

Grabbing his collar, Lu Xuan asked aggressively, "What the hell is this? What did you put in my eyes?!"

"...seed." Shen Chuan finally said.

seed?Lu Xuan stared at him suspiciously.

"The seed that continues their life."

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" The more he said, the more confused he became.

But Shen Chuan stopped answering, and reached out to hold Lu Xuan's hand, "Don't ask any more, Lu Xuan, don't know too much, let me solve the rest."

Lu Xuan broke away from his hand, her eyes were firm, "You refused to give me the answer, so I had to find it myself."

Just as Shen Chuan was about to say something, another voice suddenly interrupted them.

"The two of you should have had a good time talking about love for a long time, right?"

The two looked up at the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw Liu Huo walking towards them step by step with his hands in his pockets not far away.

Lu Xuan frowned, not sure how long this kid has been here.

After approaching, Liu Huo was not at all unfamiliar, and he didn't feel sorry for interrupting others' conversations. He first glanced at Lu Xuan, then at Shen Chuan, and called out with a smile, "Master Shen."

Shen Chuan raised his lips lightly, "I dare not take it."

"Where, you definitely deserve it."

As if they were still in the house in Yun Chuyang's hometown, the two of them were playing the young master and slave's dress-up game.

It's just that Lu Xuan has absolutely no interest in Liu Huo who appears and disappears.Since they want to talk, let them talk.

"You catch up on the old days, I won't bother you." After speaking, he turned and left.

Shen Chuan wanted to stretch out his hand to hold him, but Liu Huo stood in front of him ignorant of the times.

"Since Lu Xuan asked us to reminisce about the old days, let's not disappoint his kindness." He said with a playful smile.

Seeing Lu Xuan walking farther and farther without looking back, Shen Chuan looked back at the man in front of him and smiled slightly, "Okay."

Because of that familiar smile, Liu Huo felt inexplicably that staying was not a good choice, but he couldn't help asking: "We met before the Yun family's mansion, right?" After asking, he was stunned.

Shen Chuan closed his eyes, "Maybe."

This made Liuhuo even more confused.He knew that he didn't have this person in his memory, but somehow felt that a certain movement or breath of this man was very familiar.

"Among us, Mori is the only one who knows you, right?"

Shen Chuan laughed again at his tentative but accurate guess.Looking at Liuhuo, he said, "It's very expensive to get an answer from me, would you like it?"

When Qi Shaoyang was out of breath and ran to the agreed place with Shen Chuan, he was only seen sitting on the ground smoking a cigarette.

"Where's Lu Xuan?" He looked around and searched.

"gone."

"Leaving?!" Qi Shaoyang couldn't help raising his voice, "I finally escaped from the dead, and you let him go like this?!"

Shen Chuan raised the corner of his mouth, "Then what should we do, tie him up?"

Jun Shaoyang glared at him, and then asked discouragedly, "Then what should we do now?"

Without speaking, Shen Chuan continued to smoke.

Qi Shaoyang didn't ask any more questions, and stood quietly waiting for him.

Until Shen Chuan finished smoking, he stood up and walked to the trash can, extinguished the cigarette and threw it in.

"Let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, his arm was grabbed, and he turned his head to look at Qi Shaoyang.

"I'll help you now, but don't forget what you promised me." Qi Shaoyang looked at him without blinking.

After watching him for a few seconds, Shen Chuan slowly withdrew his hand.

"I won't forget, but you have to think about it yourself."

Qi Shaoyang stopped talking.

The two stood quietly for a while, Shen Chuan turned and left first, Qi Shaoyang waited for a few seconds before following.

◇

Lu Xuan returned to the hotel almost late at night. After entering the room, the light yellow light gave off a sense of warmth, while Sen sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. He didn't wear glasses, and slowly opened his eyes when he heard the door opening.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Lu Xuan asked with a smile, "Do you think I ran away?"

Averting his eyes, Sen closed his eyes again, "You can't run away." The tone was flat, but he said it firmly.

That's right, after walking for several years, it's not easy to be found.

Laughing, as if giving up on herself, Lu Xuan took off her coat and threw it on the ground, walked to the bed and fell down.

Although he acted like a drunk alcoholic, he was just tired.

After an unknown amount of time, he closed his eyes and said suddenly, "Let's talk about the past."

Sen asked after a while, "What do you want to hear?"

"It's fine, as long as it's the past, I don't really remember—"

"As I said, it's better not to know some things."

Lu Xuan didn't say a word, but in her heart scolded Sen and Shen Chuan for having the same dead appearance.

"But...wait a little longer," Mori stood up, "not a day or two away."

These words made Lu Xuan feel like a terminally ill patient, and Sen was a doctor who concealed his illness, and he would not tell the truth to him until the second before he could no longer survive.

He was a little confused as to whether this was a white lie.

After a day of tossing around for no reason outside, Lu Xuan simply washed up and lay down on the bed again, feeling very tired, the only thought in her mind was to sleep, she didn't even want to think about the next second, closed her eyes, and let herself sink into the darkness .

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt pain in his right eye, blinked uncomfortably, and tears rolled down from the corner of his eye.

He slowly opened his eyes, frowned and rubbed his forehead lightly, and then heard someone ask——

"Woke up?"

Lu Xuan raised her head, and the next second there was a "swish", the curtains were pulled open, and the room was instantly bright, and the strong sunlight made him subconsciously reach out to block it.

Standing at the window, Shang Shan turned around and leaned against the window, looking at him with a slight smile, it seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

"Why are you?" Lu Xuan asked, and found that she was a little speechless.

"What's wrong with me?" Shang Shan smiled at his drowsy state.But even if he didn't smile, there was a smile in his eyes, with an unscrupulous look. "Dream?"

"Hmm..." Lu Xuan responded in a low voice, thinking of the situation in the dream just now, she lowered her head and sorted out her thoughts bit by bit. "Why are you here?"

Without answering, Shang Shan looked at him quietly for a while, then walked to the side of the bed, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

Although the head hurts, Lu Xuan still took it.

After helping him light his cigarette, Shang Shan sat on the side of the bed, and the two smoked together for the second time, but they felt a little different from the past.

Lu Xuan knew that his addiction to cigarettes had become stronger recently, but this time when the smoke was sucked into his lungs, it was as if it had thorns, which made his throat hurt.

At this time, Shang Shan suddenly asked: "Do you remember what I said?"

Lu Xuan was still immersed in her own thoughts with a cigarette in her mouth, and asked "what" casually, only recovered after a long time, raised her head and stared blankly at Shang Shan, who still didn't speak, just looked expressionless look at him.

"...You stabbed me and waited for me to take revenge?" Lu Xuan guessed slowly.

Shang Shan shook his head, "I said, one day you will be unable to make a choice because you care too much about others."

Lu Xuan looked at him puzzled, and let the soot fall quietly onto the bed.

Lowering his head, Shang Shan took a deep puff of cigarette, "You are a good person, but soft-hearted." He said one sentence at a time, "But if you can make up your mind to leave here, it proves that you still know what you want." I don't know why From time to time, a streak of blood dripped down the corner of his mouth.

But as if nothing happened, he continued to talk, even with a smile on his face.

"Unfortunately, we met too late, otherwise we might be friends with you, ah! I forgot, you said that I am not worthy of being your friend." He laughed twice, as if there was blood in his throat Welling out, even the laughter was blurred.

Lu Xuan wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't even move.How is this going? !

Suddenly, Shang Shan coughed, and the smoke fell from his mouth, and then the blood seemed to spurt from his throat, splashing the bed sheet blood red.

Lu Xuan glanced at the blood splattered on her hand, then looked up at the person in front of her in astonishment.

"Don't look at me like this." Shang Shan seemed to be mentally prepared, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at him and smiled, "There's nothing to be sad about, it's just death. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I shouldn't have come into this world."

Born without meaning, not expected by anyone, living in this world like a parasite, becoming someone else unscrupulously, like a game, this kind of life actually has no fun or meaning for him .

"Shang—" Lu Xuan stretched out her hand, unable to tell whether it was because of sadness or fear, her whole hand was shaking violently.But before touching Shang Shan, the latter fell down.

Seeing the people farther and farther away from him lying in a pool of blood, Lu Xuan felt that there was nothing but blood red in front of him.

He lowered his head, looked at Shang Shan's blood-stained hand, and found more blood dripping on his hand.

He suddenly realized that blood was dripping from his right eye!

"Ah!" With a loud cry, Lu Xuan sat up abruptly, gasping for breath while looking at the front, sweating coldly on her forehead.

"What's wrong?"

He looked up suddenly and found Sen standing in front of him.

It turned out to be a dream... Lu Xuan tried her best to balance her breath.

"What did you dream about?" Sen didn't step forward, but asked calmly.

"I dreamed that Shang Shan... died."

Nodding numbly, Sen patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about it anymore, pack it up, we'll go back later."

Half an hour later, a helicopter parked on the roof of the hotel, the propellers were spinning rapidly, and the wind was blowing so hard that people couldn't keep their eyes open.

This time Lu Xuan really felt like going back.

In the past two years or so, he has lived too casually. He doesn't remember where he has been, and he doesn't care about the direction.

He got on the plane in a daze, thinking that it would be fine to drive this thing earlier, Lu Xuan fell asleep again in a daze, and finally arrived at the destination half asleep and half awake.

He knew he was back when he saw patches of red mixed with greenery outside the window.

Putting her hand on the glass window, Lu Xuan didn't know whether it was sorrow or helplessness, but it seemed that these two emotions could not be fully described.

On the lawn, the helicopter landed slowly, Sen opened the hatch to prepare to go down, then looked back at Lu Xuan, raised the corner of his mouth, "Let's go."

After hesitating for a second, Lu Xuan nodded.At this point, there is no need to think about what will happen next.

After getting off the helicopter, Liu Huo was already waiting for them.

There are three or four houses as big as villas in front of you. The walls are mottled, but they are still magnificent.Seeing it in Lu Xuan's eyes, although he didn't have mixed feelings, he still had some feelings in his heart, like a child who had been away from home for many days, but he hadn't reached that point yet.

There was a sudden palpitation in his right eye, he closed his eyes in pain, and shook his head. After the tingling feeling subsided, Sen and Liu Huo had already entered the door, and he watched their backs and followed.

The moment he stepped into the door, his eyes were squinted by the dazzling sunlight reflected by the glass.The house is sunny and much warmer than outside.

Walking slowly inside, he looked around.This place has not changed much from what he remembered. The sunlight penetrating through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows illuminates the entire building extremely brightly, and the surroundings are so quiet that there is no sound at all. Time seems to have stopped here.

He didn't see Sen and Liuhuo all the way, but he was not considered a guest, so he walked through the hall familiarly, wanting to visit other places.

The house is very big, and the halls are connected one by one. Regardless of whether this layout is reasonable or not, it is absolutely full of grandeur.

After walking a few steps, Lu Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility, and then, as if to prove something, she walked to a door and opened it hesitantly.

In the spacious room, several single sofas are placed in the center, and the snow-white color is even a bit dazzling under the light.On one of the sofas, a man sat casually with his feet crossed, with his head slightly lowered, looking intently at the chess in front of him.His dark brown hair hangs a little curly on his forehead, and his rimless glasses make him look even more handsome and refined.

Lu Xuan looked at the person in front of her, with mixed feelings for a moment, moved her lips a few times, and finally called softly: "Senior brother..." I haven't called this word for more than two years, and it seems that I can't even pronounce it correctly.

The man who had been staring at the chessboard smiled, with two dimples appearing on the corners of his mouth, a bit cute, but also charming.

Lu Xuan swallowed unconsciously.His senior brother can definitely be described as a monster.

Putting down the chess pieces in his hand, Zhou Mingxiao reached out to take off his glasses, raised his head, and glanced at him lightly, "It's hard for you to remember me as a senior brother."

Whenever this person spoke with this gesture, Lu Xuan felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.

Chapter.3

Be a detective don't play Romeo and Juliet with men.

The relationship with Zhou Mingxiao's senior brother started when Lu Xuan was thirteen or four years old.

If a person has a group of apprentices, there will always be a few who are holding back; if a person has two apprentices, maybe one of them will be holding back, and Lu Xuan is that one.

When practicing martial arts in the organization, their masters are invited from all over the world. There are heirs of martial arts families, world-class swordsmanship champions, or martial arts masters hidden among the people, and the masters of Lu Xuan and Zhou Mingxiao are the latter. By.

The old man who is nearly sixty years old is superb in martial arts, but he has the common faults of a master, and his temper is extremely weird. Among the group of people, he only picked two children who were not suitable for learning his school of boxing at the time, Lu Xuan and Zhou Mingxiao. apprentice.

At that time, the two couldn't figure it out. Lu Xuan even thought that the old man was getting old and his eyes were blurred. But after a while, they each verified the old man's unique vision——Zhou Mingxiao's boxing skills are superb, and although Lu Xuan is only half a bucket of water, he can climb trees. His ability is improving day by day.

Now that both of them have grown up, Lu Xuan has always been in awe of him as a senior brother.

"What are you doing standing there?" Putting the glasses on the table, Zhou Mingxiao crossed his fingers and put them on his knees, "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Lu Xuan didn't dare to say that he was really worried. "You really don't know?" asked the question, but he still walked over.

Zhou Mingxiao smiled, "Are you afraid now? What did you do before?" There was teasing in his tone and eyes, as if scolding his son who hadn't come home for a long time, a bit harsh like a parent.

Lu Xuan laughed twice, feeling a little guilty.

If master and apprentice are like father and son, then he and Zhou Mingxiao are half brothers.Although he decided not to have anything to do with the people in the organization when he left, but for Zhou Mingxiao, he may not have thought carefully. describe.

Walking to the sofa, he sat down, and Zhou Mingxiao who was opposite him kept looking at him, as if confirming the changes in him over the past two years.But apart from a little longer hair and darker skin, he really hasn't changed much.

"Hmm... It's still the same virtue as before."

"Brother, I'm sorry." Lu Xuan sincerely apologized.

Zhou Mingxiao didn't speak, and finally sighed softly. "Accompany me to the next game." He pushed the chessboard a little to the middle, "After you leave, I will only play against myself."

"What's the fun playing with me, I've never beaten you before."

"Lu Xuan," Zhou Mingxiao called him softly, with slight disapproval in his eyes, "Sometimes it is necessary to play dumb, but sometimes it is to hurt people on purpose."

Touching her nose, Lu Xuan decided to change the subject, "Zhuo Wenxin and Yan Xiling—"

"Have you seen them?"

"Yeah." And almost got killed.He knew that they, and even his former self, could be regarded as murderous people without blinking an eye, but he never thought that there would be a day when they would meet each other in battle. "What happened? Why did they betray the organization?"

Zhou Mingxiao did not answer. After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked towards the French windows.

The window is facing a pool, and beyond that is a flower field.It was the peony planted by Zhou Mingxiao, and it had almost only one color. Although it hadn't reached the peak flowering period, it still bloomed delicately.

Looking at his appearance, Lu Xuan knew that he might be another person who couldn't answer the question, so she didn't ask any more questions.He knew that when Zhou Mingxiao didn't want to talk, it was useless for anyone to ask.

Walking to Zhou Mingxiao's side, he looked out the window and said, "No matter how people change, these flowers will always be the same." He knew that his brother only had this hobby, and he took care of these flowers meticulously.

Zhou Mingxiao raised the corner of his mouth.

"Unfortunately, I didn't see the best time to drive." Lu Xuan said again.

"No," Zhou Mingxiao shook his head, "These two months are the best time to drive, and you came back just in time." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and opened the French window a little, and the wind mixed with the smell of green grass and earth came through immediately. Come in and blow the bangs on his forehead.

Lu Xuan saw a scar on his forehead, it was Zhou Mingxiao's wound to save him when he was a child, the blow that was supposed to be on him, even killed him, was borne by Zhou Mingxiao instead, Because he said: I am your senior brother, equivalent to your elder brother.

All of a sudden, Lu Xuan's heart seemed to be filled with something, and her chest was stuffy. She obviously shouldn't be sad, but she couldn't stop it.

Wanting to divert his attention, he turned his head and looked around, and then saw a piano lying aside.

A black Steinway grand piano is a work of art in itself.

"Is this piano still there?" Lu Xuan became interested and walked over.

Zhou Mingxiao looked at him and followed him.

Lu Xuan can play the piano, but she is not good at it.In fact, he felt that he seemed to know a little about everything in his life, but he didn't learn anything well.

Standing in front of the piano, he reached out and pressed a key, "Let's play a piece." He turned around and said to Zhou Mingxiao, "I haven't heard you play for a long time."

Zhou Mingxiao asked with a smile, "What are you playing?"

Lu Xuan smiled without saying a word.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Mingxiao seemed to have thought of something, walked to the piano with a smile and sat down, stretched out his hands on the black and white keys, his slender fingers seemed to be born for playing.

The first syllable sounded, and after a few simple high and low pitches alternated, the simple and beautiful melody of Closetoyou appeared slowly.

At this moment, Sen walked in and saw that they didn't make a sound, but walked lightly to Lu Xuan's side.

Lu Xuan raised her head, raised her index finger to her mouth, made a silent gesture towards him, and then continued to look at Zhou Mingxiao.

Sen closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of the piano.This piano has not played since Lu Xuan left.

About halfway through the song, Lu Xuan couldn't help but want to move. He sat next to Zhou Mingxiao, stretched out his hand and popped out the first syllable, and immediately found the feeling. Zhou Mingxiao also seemed to know that he was ready, so he withdrew his hand and was alone with him. They played together with one hand.

The two used to cooperate in this way, but at that time they always played a piece of music at random. Now, after many years, they haven't practiced much, but they seem to have improved.

Seeing Lu Xuan joining the ranks of playing the piano, Sen stood where he was just now, leaning slightly by the piano.

This was their last afternoon together, the sun was shining brightly outside, the flowers in the garden were fragrant, in short, everything was too beautiful to describe.

Lu Xuan thought that he would remember this moment all his life, and this feeling should be called happiness.

The few of them have been together for more than ten years, but only today they really let go of everything and simply enjoy this moment.

When the song ends, it's like waking up from a dream.

After a long sigh of relief, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that I finally have a bit of music."

Zhou Mingxiao glanced at him and smiled helplessly. "After so many years, you probably only remember this piece of music."

"I don't plan to be a pianist. What do I do with so many pieces? This one is enough for me to listen to myself." He replied confidently, then stood up and glanced at Sen, "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys first chat."

"Go back to your room and take a rest." Sen said, "I'll get you to eat later."

After being stunned for a moment, Lu Xuan nodded and patted Zhou Mingxiao on the shoulder before leaving.

After Lu Xuan left, Zhou Mingxiao also stood up. "What are you going to tell him?"

Glancing at the direction Lu Xuan left, Sen didn't speak.In fact, maybe there is no need to explain, because no matter what is said, there is only one result, and they have no choice.

He didn't get an answer, and Zhou Mingxiao didn't continue to ask. He glanced at Sen, who was silent for a few seconds, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Let me tell him." Zhou Mingxiao said in time before he took the first step.

Sen paused and didn't answer.

After he also walked out of the room, Zhou Mingxiao closed his eyes, lowered his head, and gradually remembered what Lu Xuan kept whispering in his ear when he was only one step away from death.

Brother, it’s okay, don’t worry, you’ll be fine... I’ll always be with you——

He no longer remembers how he felt at that time, or he couldn't feel anything at that time, but only Lu Xuan's words were like spells, no matter how many years he kept circling in his mind.

◇

Lu Xuan's room was on the second floor. Standing in front of the door, he felt a little melancholy. He stretched out his hand and opened the door, and a familiar smell came to his nostrils.

The room was a bit dark, the curtains were half-closed, the decoration and arrangement were very simple, and he didn't pay much attention to it, because he was not someone who would care about these things, as long as it was pleasing to the eye and comfortable to live in, but the long feet in front of the window were a little small In the glass bottle above, the purple-red peony is even more dazzling.

After standing silently at the door for a while, Lu Xuan walked in slowly. He looked down at the peony, the petals were still stained with water.It must have just been picked off.

After walking for more than two years, this room is still the same as when he first left, as if he had never left here.

Maybe everyone understands that he will come back eventually, only he himself will know at the end...Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up in her heart, Lu Xuan had the urge to take out the flowers and throw them away, but she felt that it was nothing to do with the flowers when she stretched out her hand Things, so in the end I just let out a long sigh.

He went to the window and opened the curtains. There was a big tree outside the window. He remembered that the tree was as tall as it is now when he was a child.

When he was a child...he tried hard to recall the details of himself and Shen Chuan in the past, but there were only some fragmented pictures.Closing his eyes, he quietly waited for the throbbing pain from his right eye to subside.

After returning here, the pain has not stopped, as if the right eye with its own consciousness seems to be getting more and more uncontrollable.

In fact, Lu Xuan didn't have much nostalgia. After lying on the bed that he hadn't slept in for more than two years, he couldn't stay. Maybe he was too sensitive, but he still felt something was wrong.Regardless of the fact that he didn't see anyone else, from the moment he stepped into the gate, whether it was Zhou Mingxiao or Sen, he felt something was different.

Sitting up from the bed, he glanced out the window and walked out of the room.

There was a big indoor swimming pool in the house, and Lu Xuan walked there without much effort, but someone had already come here before him.

Sen, who changed into casual clothes, stood by the pool, holding a tray in his hand, lowering his head as if thinking about something, throwing the meat on the tray into the water from time to time, and occasionally splashes appeared on the surface of the water, obviously Keeping something.

Lu Xuan walked over.

"Are you awake?" Sen suddenly said, without turning his head.

"Well, can't sleep." He stood behind him without leaning on him. "Why are you here? Where are the others?"

"Your senior brother came here these days." Sen just replied like this, and then threw the last piece of fresh meat soaked in blood into the pool, put down the tray, and turned to look at Lu Xuan. "Would you like to talk alone?"

Lu Xuan nodded, seeing that Sen was about to leave, he asked again: "Zhuo Wenxin and the others—"

"You'll know when the time comes." Mori dropped a sentence without looking back.

In Lu Xuan's view, this was completely perfunctory, but this man is capable of speaking perfunctory in a serious way, and people can't even refute it.

Sighing, there was a sudden sound of water behind her, Lu Xuan turned around, and saw the fluctuations on the water slowly subside.He took a step forward and stood by the pool, looked into the pool, and saw waves slowly appearing on the surface of the water not far away, and then a huge dark blue fish tail surfaced and slapped.

He smiled slightly, moved a little closer to the pool, and squatted down. A moment later, a figure emerged from the water.

Exquisite facial features, blue eyes, and long black hair hanging on the chest, more than half of which are floating on the water, even though there is half a piece of bloody meat in its mouth, it is still unbelievably beautiful.It may not be possible to tell whether he is a man or a woman just by looking at his face, but the flatness of his chest proves that he is a man, but his lower body soaked in the pool is a long dark blue fish tail, which is twitching once and for all hit the water.

"Fu Lan." Lu Xuan called softly, stretched out her hand to stroke his chin, "Long time no see."

Fu Lan looked at him for a while, her dark blue eyes were full of radiance, and she smiled deeply, spat out the meat in her mouth, and obediently rubbed her cheek against Lu Xuan's hand.

Lu Xuan smiled from the bottom of her heart.When he was young, Fulan was like this now. After more than ten years, he has not changed at all, even his mind has always been like a child.

The mermaid may not be a long-lived creature, but it is definitely not old. In the past, he thought about what to do if he was still the same when he was five or sixty years old.

"Are you okay? Hmm..." Lu Xuan looked at him with a fake smile, "You're still so pretty."

Understanding what he was saying, the smile on Fu Lan's face was deeper and more dazzling.He stretched out his hand with light blue nails, and touched Lu Xuan's face. He first tried it lightly, and then seemed to have determined his goal, and began to knead and pinch.

Lu Xuan's face was pinched like a steamed stuffed bun, and she grinned.

Fu Lan looked at it and giggled.There is no language, this is how they communicate.

The two were arguing when another voice suddenly came in.

"Fu Lan, are you bullying Lu Xuan again?"

Fu Lan let go of her hand.

Lu Xuan also raised her head and saw Liu Huo, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, walking over swaggeringly.

Liu Huo looks handsome and upright, but Lu Xuan grew up with him. Compared with when he was a child, he only feels that Liu Huo is getting closer to a gentle scum now.

Going to the pool and squatting down, Liu Huo looked at Fu Lan and said with a smile: "You are not fair, you only bullied Lu Xuan, you can bully me too!"

Fulan's beautiful face immediately showed an expression of displeasure, and with a flick of her tail, she swam to Lu Xuan's side, her hands still hugging him tightly.
