Prison situation

When Lai emerged from the bedroom bathroom, the wet ends of his hair were oozing with water.

He put on a clean white shirt. From the slightly open collar, he could clearly see the delicate collarbone, as well as the thin water droplets floating on his chest, which was slightly crimson by the water vapor.

Look at him, Laron?Corleone was smoking lazily against the head of the bed.He leaned forward, and his muscular body made his lines without a trace of fat look very strong and powerful.Layron?Corleone was only laying a thin blanket on the bed, like a lion who had eaten and drunk, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Lai looked over amusedly, and unambiguously took the cigarette from the other party's hand, and put it out in the ashtray.

Layron?Corleone raised his eyebrows and said, "My dear, may I understand this as 'wife control'?"

"..." Lai was silent for a second, then smiled, "Who is your wife?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Lailon?Corleone took Lai's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, "Honey, don't you think you have spent less time by my side recently? You should make it up..."

Lai withdrew his hand, feeling like he was having a headache, "Didn't you just do it just now? My bones are about to be broken by you."

Layron?Corleone shrugged helplessly and said, "But I'm only half full."

Lai immediately smiled, "Believe me, eating too much will be bad for digestion."

If I continue chatting here, I will inevitably be dragged back to the bed to eat and wipe off.Lai sensibly took out a pair of jeans from the closet and put them on.And behind him, accompanied by someone's whistle, there was that obscene ridicule, "It's really a 'beautiful scenery' that can be seen at a glance..."

Lai: "..."

In that regard, he admits that he will never be a match for the man in the bed.

Taking a long breath, Lai said, "Lai Lun, I'm going to go to Zhu Ye."

Layron?Corleone smiled confusedly, "Isn't the operation a success?"

"That's right. But..." Lai said, "As expected, there was a rejection reaction after the night surgery, and the current situation is very bad. You know, Lawrence is no longer by his side. I I think, if there is a friend around to encourage him, he should feel a lot better in his heart."

"You are really kind."

"I'm not that kind." Lai buttoned up his shirt. "At any rate, Lawrence has done us a lot of good."

"Then, what about the fallen dragon...?"

"I don't know." Lai said, "However, I brought the words with me, and I also told Fallen Dragon about the general situation of Zhu Ye."

Layron?Corleone laughed, "How could the Fallen Dragon abandon Zhu Ye?"

Lai said: "I really think that Zhu Ye may still hope that the fallen dragon will abandon him. To be honest, Zhu Ye's life is really like a black joke to him."

Layron?Corleone cast a slightly puzzled look.

"I did a little research." Lai said, "Zu Ye's parents are both criminals, so Zhu Ye has had a heavy psychological shadow since he was a child. I heard that when he was in the orphanage, he and Leon had a relationship of 'becoming a policeman. arresting criminals' common ideal."

"Oh—" Layron?After hearing this, Corleone smiled and dragged out the end, "Then his current path has really become a strong irony of ideals."

"That's right." Lai spread his hands, "I think, Zhu Ye has always had a heavy sense of contradiction in his heart. Um... how should I put it... Zhu Ye is not as heartless as I am. Even if he came from an orphanage, But I don't have a heart of justice, except for the people I want to protect, other people's lives are worthless to me, so I don't feel any guilt about killing people."

"But Zhu Ye is different." Lailon?Corleone laughed, "The more crimes he committed, the greater the contrast in his heart."

"Children whose parents are criminals like Zhu Ye, in the shadows, will either become their arresters or become criminals like them in the future." Lai lowered his eyes and said, "But Zhu Ye is very unfortunate, and he is inspired to become the former , but fell into the latter. What is even more unfortunate is that he handles family affairs just as Godfather Brown intended. In the mafia, the more Zhu Ye knows how to survive the "ruthlessness", the more he will not be able to wipe out the conscience after murder. self-condemnation."

"Ah - it's really tiring for a person like him to live." Lailon?Corleone sighed.

"Because he just doesn't fit in the world," Lay said. "But the world of the Mafia is a quagmire. You step in and you can't get out."

Layron?Corleone smiled and stopped talking, as if he had tacitly accepted what the other party said.

Zhu Ye was lying on the big bed in the room, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the glass outside the window, shivering.

The room was dark, save for a glimmer of daylight that leaked through a crack in the curtains.A faint smell of blood slowly permeated the dark room.Zhu Ye closed his eyes, his expression was extremely painful, and the bed sheet under his body was covered with blood.

There was a burst of burning pain in the chest.Zhu Ye bit her lips tightly, trying to suppress the painful moan.

The smell of blood diffused on the taste buds, oppressing the nerves, and pulling the scalp numb.

Zhu Ye moved his body with great difficulty, his knuckles gripping the bed sheet trembling white.

To Zhu Ye, Lawrence was absolutely a complete fool.

Using one's own life to continue the life of a person who is about to die at any time, such a loss-making business is really not in line with his usual style.

But this is Lawrence's wish to give his life, so Zhu Ye wanted to live and worked hard to live.

But the most real reason, Zhu Ye knew it was not like this.

The sound of footsteps in the corridor gradually approached.Just when Lai was about to reach Zhu Ye's room, the door opened quickly, and Zhu Ye walked out from inside.

"Zu Ye!?"

Lai stared at Zhu Ye with a blank face.The other party walked towards him steadily.

"Hey...are you alright...?" Reiner asked incredulously.

"I'm fine." Zhu Ye walked to Lai's side and smiled sideways, "How can I let Brown see my jokes at this time."

"Don't push yourself too hard," Lai said. "There was a rejection reaction after the operation. You should pay more attention. This is what Lawrence paid for with his life."

"I know." Zhu Ye said lightly, pouted his chin angrily, "I'm going to the underground black market in New York that belongs to the Gambino family, do you want to go together?"

"Okay," Lai Xin responded, "I have nothing to do anyway."

Along the way, looking at Zhu Ye's indifferent side face, the amber eyes were as clear as mirrors, so still that they never showed a trace of emotion.Lai restrained his smiling expression and said, "I think I should tell you now. Zhu Ye, Lawrence made a will before he left. The next successor of Godfather Gambino is you."

After hearing this, Zhu Ye's pace slowed down significantly.He stared straight ahead and said, "Actually, when Lawrence came to visit me last, I heard every word he said."

Lai froze.

"At that time, I was in pain because of the attack of the 'P' virus, but my mind was still conscious. I heard every word Lawrence said, just because my body was so painful that I couldn't move at all. , so I can't respond to him..."

Zhu Ye stopped talking and lowered his eyelashes.

Lai stared straight into his eyes and said, "We have no ability to change the past. Now that Lawrence's death is a foregone conclusion, all you have to do is to live hard."

"You can't waste his life in vain...can you?" Zhu Ye smiled, "The most urgent thing is to restrain some people in the family who are about to move in time. If I take over the position of godfather, I will definitely suffer from many people." opposition."

"So you need a backup." Lai said loudly, "A powerful, powerful backup that you can absolutely trust."

"My power can't be cultivated overnight." Zhuo Ye said, "But I still have other ways to effectively ease the current tension."

"Zu Ye," Lai smiled, "Don't talk about him, you know what I mean."

"..."

"The fallen dragon is the person who can help you the most." Lai said, "Compared to the support of the Corleone family for you, his identity can deter those ambitious people more."

Zhu Ye just smiled and kept silent.

Lai then asked tentatively: "Zu Ye, don't you want to see the fallen dragon?"

"I don't want to." Zhu Ye said, "I don't want to see him. Besides, I have no reason to look for him now, do I?"

"But Lawrence wants him to protect you."

"I can live without the fallen dragon." Zhuo Ye said seriously, "I won't die until I defeat that guy Brown."

"Then, what happens after you successfully take revenge on the other party?" Lai smiled, "It sounds like you have no interest in this world..."

Zhu Ye was speechless for a while.There was a slow but unstoppable pain in the heart.

——Actually, Lawrence... Death is not scary to me at all, because the stillness of life is just a moment of passing.

The twilight is all together, and a piece of sunlight falls in the quiet time.

Zhu Ye stood at the table in the bedroom, quietly staring at Lawrence in the photo, with gentle and powerful light in his eyes.

—Lawrence, do you know...?When I woke up, I dreamed more than once of our last scene.Even now... I always dream... If time can go back to that time, if you can give me a chance to speak, even just once, I will definitely stop you.

—I love you, Lawrence.

——So, even then, I kept saying to myself, I want to live.Even if it is for you, I will live for a long time.

—Because if I die, you will be alone forever...

With her slender fingers gently touching down along the photo frame, Zhu Ye lowered her head slightly, and there was a quiet smile in the depths of her eyes covered with thin water vapor.

——Lawrence, I know that you are waiting for me in that world, so even if I die, I will no longer be alone...

— but I understand.Even if you tell me that you want to see me live long and long, the truest you in your heart are lonely, and you long for me to be by your side.

—I love you, Lawrence.Really...not just moved, I really feel the feeling of heartbeat.

——But, just this one time.It's just this one time, can I be selfish...?

The lingering sadness and hope remained in the slight heat of the tears, Zhu Ye seemed to feel the continuous tears seeping into the cold skin.

Some clips frozen in my mind started to play back frame by frame.

Those memories of being with him...

—Lawrence...

——Lawrence, I'm sorry... I hope you can indulge my only waywardness...

——Even if revenge is over, even if my life has no regrets, I still want to live... Even though I am the only one left now, I still want to live.As Zhu Ye...to see this world with my own eyes before my life comes to an end.I want to feel the only remaining warmth in this world, even if I get hurt again...

——Since my previous path was doomed to be dark and incomplete.Then, I want to be strong and spend the rest of my life perfectly.

——I will not give up trying to find...

——The sea that has never stopped, the forest where I can rest in my dreams, the home of my parents, the orphanage I lived in when I was a child, and the places I have never been to, more, more places... I want happiness Stay where Zhu Ye belongs.

—I love you, Lawrence...I love you, I love you...

--But……

When Lai knocked on the door and entered, he happened to see Zhu Ye in the study discussing something with several commanders of the Gambino family army.Seeing his appearance, Zhu Ye smiled lightly and greeted politely: "You are here, Lai."

After a few brief instructions, Zhu Ye watched the guests leave.

Lai stepped forward with a look of lack of sleep, "What can you do with me?"

Zhu Ye handed him a folder and said, "According to the deal agreement between Lawrence and Godfather Corleone, the Gambino family's profits in the next five years, excluding the funds of the legion members, will be 40% of the remaining amount every quarter." % will be divided among you."

Lai raised his eyebrows with great interest, and took it.

Zhu Ye said: "There are other things that Lailun would be interested in. I think he should be eager to expand the family business, and my plans are all detailed in it."

Lai said with a smile: "This is really a good interest."

Zhu Ye also laughed, very lightly: "Because I have to ask you to take care of me in the future."

However, before the two had a few words, Zhu Ye coughed uncomfortably.The originally pale cheeks were also stained with a sickly crimson due to poor breathing.

Zhu Ye covered her mouth, and a strong rusty smell surged up instantly, covering the tip of her tongue.

Zhu Ye put down his hand after coughing for a while, and there was a pool of deep red blood in his palm.

Seeing this, Lai's expression turned cold, and he said, "Zu Ye, you should go check it out."

Zhu Ye smiled, "I know..."

Lay added, "Also, there's something I want to—"

Zhu Ye blinked and asked, "...what's the matter?"

Lai hesitated for a moment, then sighed, and scratched his dark curly hair, "No, it's nothing..."

Lai wanted to say that the fallen dragon is coming to see you soon.But it was five days later that he actually saw the fallen dragon.At that time, the fallen dragon had already gone to Zhu Ye.

When Fallen Dragon received the news about Zhu Ye from Lai for the first time, he didn't immediately go to Zhu Ye's side.

Because he knew that Zhu Ye didn't want to see him at this moment.Moreover, before a series of matters around him are dealt with, rushing to protect Zhu Ye will only throw the troubles he caused on Zhu Ye.Therefore, Falling Dragon didn't go to Gambino's house to meet Zhu Ye until all the problems left over from being a spy beside Godfather Bonanno were resolved.

It was sunset time at that time.

When Fallen Dragon quietly walked into Zhu Ye's bedroom, he immediately caught a glimpse of the group photo of Lawrence and Zhu Ye placed prominently on the table.

The change in Falling Dragon's expression could not be detected in the gap of a few seconds, he just walked all the way to Zhu Ye.

The fallen dragon looked down at Zhu Ye, and the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shrouded Zhu Ye in a half-bright and half-dark atmosphere, and the slightly thin face seemed unreal.However, it was printed into the eyes of the fallen dragon, but it was as clear and powerful as in the memory.

Sitting lightly on the edge of the bed, falling into the dragon's half-bow, gently stroking Zhu Ye's fine bangs with her fingertips.

The itching of the fingertips touching his forehead made Zhu Ye gradually wake up from the ups and downs of sleep.

The thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and it took a long time for Zhu Ye to struggle to open his heavy eyelids, those amber eyes were full of unstoppable lethargy and a hint of bewilderment.

"You're awake." Fallen Dragon responded with a calm smile.

Zhu Ye stared at him dully, as if uncertain.After a while, after his eyes cleared up, he closed his eyelids slightly.

"Why, you don't want to see me so much?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Fallen Dragon's mouth.

Zhu Ye looked at him without blinking, and said softly: "I thought you wouldn't come to see me until the day I was buried..."

Falling Dragon stretched out his hand, and gently hugged Zhu Ye on the bed in front of him, "You think so?"

"No," Zhu Ye shook his head and said, "I thought you wouldn't come to see me after I died."

Falling Dragon straightened his slightly bowed shoulders, and said with a smile, "Zu Ye, I'm actually making mistakes constantly. It's like in Island Prison, when I tried to get you to confess your feelings, but I only wanted to monopolize you." Looking at you. Obviously, as long as I give you time to treat you well, your love for Leon will be left to me little by little, but I still insist on going my own way, and the result is that you leave because you don’t feel love. So, You fell in love with Lawrence...Zhu Ye, your heart has become incomplete, I caused it by myself.

"But it's okay because now I'll be there for you. I've left the time of my life for you."

"Fallen Dragon, I..."

"Zu Ye, I don't intend to make you forget Leon or Lawrence, and I won't force you to accept my feelings now. I will stay by your side just because I love you. Because I don't want to regret it in the future. I It is precisely knowing your current physical condition, so I want to learn to cherish every minute and every second from now on."

Zhu Ye smiled wryly, "It's really not like what a fallen dragon would say..."

Falling Dragon stretched out his arms and hugged Zhu Ye, hugging him tightly and tenderly, "Zu Ye, do you love me?"

"Well, I love you. But now I don't love you..." Zhuo Ye said lightly.

"It's okay, then I'll start from scratch. Just like in Island Prison, I'll pursue you again."

"Fallen Dragon, don't..."

"Zu Ye, do you think you can stop me?" Fallen Dragon interrupted him, raised his eyebrows, and smiled nicely, "Just be what you want to be, and I'll be what I want to be thing. That's all."

The next moment, a warm wind blew up the curtains, which was the last slight heat in late summer.

Zhu Ye knew that what he had to face at this moment was something more important than the falling dragon's feelings.

The Gambino family legion to be greeted by inheriting Lawrence's position as godfather, and the unfinished revenge against Brown——
