black eden

in the afternoon.

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, Du Yu saw a familiar head popping out of the door, looking around.

With dark gray curly hair and two freckles on his face, Du Yu recognized at a glance that it was Kevin, the cashier who worked with him in the bakery.

Du Yu beckoned to him, his head froze for a moment, and he ran to the back door in a hurry.

"How did you find me?" Du Yu asked while packing her schoolbag.

Kevin lifted his shoulder bag and showed a bright smile: "The boss has your information, Mansandi University Law School Class A, you are really awesome!"

Du Yu smiled, picked up his schoolbag and went out with him.

"I went to the cake shop before, and Rafael said that today we are going to take a vacation. It just so happens that my house is at the other side of the Grand Theater, so I stopped by to talk to you, lest you make a trip for nothing!"

"On vacation?" Du Yu looked at his watch. It was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon. If he didn't have to work part-time, he would be at a loss for so much time suddenly.

"Well, the cake shop seems to be closed for renovation. If that's the case, we can rest for at least a week!" Kevin waved his fist gloatingly, and saw Du Yu adjusting his hat in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help pointing in wonder: "Why have you been Wearing it, isn't it hot?"

"Oh, I'm used to it."

"It's pretty cool..." Kevin walked around in front of him, walked backwards, and looked at him as he walked, "Is this the new Wodonble hip-hop hat this year? Can't tell, you boy!"

Du Yu's ears were knotted, and he didn't realize what he was talking about for a long time.

"Can you wear it for me?" Kevin suddenly looked at him beggingly.

"..." Du Yu was silent for a moment, then took off his hat.

When the hat was handed to Kevin, Du Yu saw Theon's slender figure appearing at the entrance of the college through the people in front of him.

Just like in the morning, Theon was leaning against the door, his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his strong forearm folded in front of his chest, his expression soft, his blond hair almost blending with the sunlight behind him.

Du Yu patted Kevin on the shoulder: "Wait for me here." Then he strode towards the door.

Kevin stared at the hat happily, and said repeatedly: "Okay."

Seeing Du Yu walking towards him, Xi En immediately straightened up, took out a thick jurisprudence textbook, and handed it to him: "Thank you for your advice, I know what to do."

Du Yu took the book, glanced at him, and said nothing.

"Wait!" Seeing him turn around, Xi En hurriedly shouted, "Aren't you going back together?"

"No, I still have to go to work."

"What? Isn't it a vacation?" Theon bit his tongue as soon as the words came out.

Du Yu squinted at him for a while, and heard the passing girls sizing up here and whispering about "Handsome Professor Xi En", she couldn't help frowning: "Go to the small road outside, I have something to ask you."

Sean froze for a moment, then nodded obediently.

There is a small green square between the colleges. The square is full of willows and low duck foot trees. When spring and summer alternate, the square is full of vitality.

Du Yu walked forward along the small path in the square, and stopped until there were no more voices around, then turned to look at Xi En: "What did you do about the cake shop?"

Xi En shrugged: "I want you to take a rest, the mid-term exam is coming soon." He leaned on a poplar tree and looked at Du Yu quietly.

Du Yu looked away and asked, "Is Eric still alive?"

The topic suddenly jumped, and Theon paused before answering: "Alive."

Eric Irva, Ivan's favorite subordinate during his lifetime.Eric's position was something Theon had dreamed of but couldn't get, so he was extremely sensitive to this name.

Du Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "Who is that silver-haired boy in the morning?"

Theon half-closed his eyes, and a smile slipped from the corner of his mouth: "You don't ask where Eric is, how are you doing?"

"I just need to know he's alive."

Du Yu leaned sideways on the tree trunk opposite Xi En, and there was a gravel road between them, not far or close.

"Correct me, the one in the morning is not a boy, but a man." Theon smiled and returned to Du Yu's previous question, "He is Frey's younger brother, the puppet leader of the Black Snake, Morel Green."

"really……"

Du Yu nodded thoughtfully, as if thinking about something.

Xi En couldn't help but walked to him, supported the tree trunk with one hand, and summoned his soul back: "Du Yu, are you missing the old life?"

Du Yu stared at his arm in front of her, and coldly slapped it away: "No, I'm leaving."

"You're lying!" Theon suddenly pressed his shoulders and pressed him back against the tree trunk, "Do you think you can get rid of everything by changing a layer of human skin? You don't belong here at all, you are born to be a conspirator and a military strategist! An absolutely extraordinary person!"

"Let go!" Du Yu grabbed his arm and wanted to shake it off, but Xi En took a step closer and pressed him between the tree trunk and the person.

"What the hell are you running away from?" Sean bowed his head, seeing him desperately turning his face to the other side, he squeezed his chin, and twisted that face back to face himself.

Du Yu's body trembled suddenly, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this sudden gaze, Xi En suddenly remembered Du Yu's taboo - not touching his face.But now he would run away if he let go, Theon hesitated, and quickly moved his hand to his shoulder, pulling him into his arms.

Du Yu's body was very stiff. When Xi En held him, he felt that the body in his arms was very thin and small, as if it would be crushed if he tried harder.

Just like in the villa at the beginning, Du Yu's breathing became irregular, panting heavily, as if trying to blow out his lungs.

Theon patted him on the back nervously, trying to reassure him, but the gesture only made his reaction intensify.

"Don't touch...don't touch me!!" The cold sweat rolled off Du Yu's head layer by layer, he pushed Xien away hard, staggered to hold on to the tree trunk, his throat felt dry, and he bent over and vomited.

Xi En was startled, and wanted to reach out to help him, but he didn't know where to help him. His hands were frozen in the air, in a dilemma, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands were throbbing. Suddenly, he felt that he couldn't do anything, like a waste.

It took almost a quarter of an hour before Du Yu's breathing calmed down, and he slowly straightened up, his complexion was frighteningly pale.

"You..." Sean opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, and then changed his words: "...I'm sorry."

"Xion," Du Yu wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked at him weakly, "If you really care about me, stay away from me... I don't owe you anything, whether it's Ivan or Du Yu , I owe you nothing..."

Theon didn't speak, didn't move.My heart suddenly felt like freezing.

Du Yu picked up the schoolbag that had fallen aside, turned around and walked back.

"We!" Theon suddenly said loudly, "Is there no possibility?"

Du Yu froze for a moment, but didn't look back.

Sean still stood where he was, facing the poplar tree, clenched his fists tightly: "I was wrong! You shouldn't say anything to make you return to Ivan's position, those are bullshit! I just want you Come to me! Du Yu, I like you and want to date you!"

Du Yu's whole body tensed up, and he turned his head dully.

Although this was not the first time he heard the word "like" from Xi En's mouth, it was the first time Du Yu realized that Xi En's "like" was somewhat different from his understanding.

After a long silence, Du Yu slowly said, "You... like men?"

The question made Theon almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.Originally, he subconsciously yelled those words just now, his face was burning hot when he came back to his senses, but Du Yu's words again caused his blood to surge continuously.

Xi En hastily turned his back and forced himself to be calm: "So what?" His heart had already been turned upside down and there was only one sentence left: I just like you, who made you a man!

"..." Du Yu rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, "So, were you confessing your love just now?"

Theon said calmly, "That's right, what's your answer?"

"..." Du Yu stared at his back for two seconds, and wanted to answer "impossible", but an uncontrollable emotion stopped him from saying this.

He has lived for so long and has never liked anyone.

The most tender emotion for him is to protect those around him or teach his close subordinates, but from the beginning to the end, no one can really get close to him.

What's more, the man in front of him once pointed a gun at him.

"I have no idea……"

It took a long time before Du Yu gave this ambiguous answer.

He really didn't want to have anything to do with Theon, but he didn't know how to respond to the other's feelings.Just now the heartbeat was really out of control, but I couldn't tell whether it was a shock or something else.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi En suddenly turned around, with a face Du Yu had never seen before—like an expression of surprise mixed with joy, with bright eyes, looking at him from a distance.

"It's okay, you don't have to answer now!" He took a few steps closer and stopped in front of Du Yu, "Tell me after you think it over, I can wait!"

On the contrary, Du Yu was stunned by his abnormal expression, a little at a loss.

Theon is serious.

Du Yu could feel his scorching gaze, as if she was fully prepared to be rejected before, but she gave him a vague answer, giving him a glimmer of hope.

But is this right or wrong?

Maybe I was just stunned by his shocking words, and I would still refuse in the end... Then why didn't I just refuse?

Du Yu's thinking was a bit messy, trying to straighten it out, but countless figures flashed in his mind, those shadows superimposed on each other, and gradually turned into Aldrich's distorted face, the corner of the bloody mouth was torn back at a strange angle. Looking at him he sneered and laughed.

The disgusting voice of that man echoed in my ears again—Ivan, my little black dog, I really like you so much!

"Well……"

A strong sense of vomiting rushed up her throat, and Du Yu raised her hand to cover her mouth, her body tensed and stiff.

Here it is again, the nightmare that kept him awake at night actually happened twice in a row in front of Theon.

"I'm leaving...Kevin is waiting for me..." He turned around in a hurry, his voice was so weak that only he could hear him, trying to think of something else, trying to calm himself down, but every step was like stepping into a swamp, The pace was suffocating.
