Tan Zhengming seemed very satisfied with his expression.But just when he was about to get up to respond, Fan Xiaoyu took a step back with a vigilant expression:

"But don't you want to know my choice?"

Tan Zhengming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I know that no matter what adults do, they will calculate the gains and losses, including love. I admit that I am too naive on this point: it is a fool's dream to want to find true love in such a filthy circle-but I happen to meet To a person who is as pure as me, do you think this is fate? I think this is a gift from God to me.

"So I cherish him very much, no matter what, I don't want to give up on him."

"..."

The clock on the wall was ticking.The room was so quiet that the beating of their hearts could be heard.

One is apprehensive and the other is calm.Tan Zhengming stood up, and Fan Xiaoyu took another step back.His eyes seemed to be weighing his chances of winning if the two really competed - this kind of cautiousness made Tan Zhengming very disappointed.

"Are you kidding me?" Tan Zhengming said calmly.

"Because Uncle Tan seems to have been pretending not to do it on purpose," Fan Xiaoyu said, "I thought I was being self-indulgent—I didn't expect it to be."

"..."

Tan Zhengming didn't say anything anymore, his clothes moved slightly, and he walked towards the gate.

When he got to the door, he turned around and said, "Xiao Yu, I hope you will think about it again."

"Considering what?"

"What you said."

"..."

Fan Xiaoyu's back teeth moved nervously.He really wanted to ask Tan Zhengming what he would do to him if his choice remained the same.

But he felt as if he didn't need to ask, he already knew the answer.

After Tan Zhengming left, Fan Xiaoyu was alone in the room for a long time without contacting anyone.It was already afternoon when Hu Bao came back, and the setting sun slanted in and shone on this lost soul.

Hu Bao was taken aback by him:

"Brother Xiaoyu, why are you sitting here in a daze? —By the way, have you eaten lunch? I just realized that you didn't eat when I felt a little hungry. I brought a takeaway back, why don't you eat some first?" ?”

Then Hu Bao saw four dishes, one soup and two sets of tableware neatly arranged on the dining table by the floor-to-ceiling window, but the tableware was very clean and it seemed that no one had touched it.

"This is... someone came here?" Hu Bao asked.

"Ah?" Fan Xiaoyu came to her senses, "Oh, the waiter delivered the meal, but I don't want to eat it... You can eat it, or you don't have to eat it. If you don't eat it, let someone come and clean it up."

"You...Are you okay, Brother Yu?" Hu Bao looked at his face carefully and said.

"I am fine."

But no matter how he looks, he looks like something is wrong... Hu Bao wanted to take out his phone quietly, but Fan Xiaoyu keenly noticed:

"Don't tell Luo Xiao."

"Uh, I didn't..."

Fan Xiaoyu collapsed on the sofa with her eyes closed, forgetting that one of her arms was still in a plaster cast, and as soon as the muscles were pulled, a heart-pounding pain swept over her.

"hiss--"

On the big roof terrace, Tan Zhengming looked down at his phone. The Internet was full of smoke, and the corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction.

He flicked the cigarette in his hand, and sent a message to an unnamed number: 【Do you like this gift from me? ] Two seconds later, the number called back:

"Hello." Luo Xiao's deep voice sounded.

"Like it?"

"Do you mean the bouquet of bad roses that was left by his door?"

Tan Zhengming took a puff of cigarette, with a strong smell of tobacco around the tip of his nose, and said, "You don't need to hide, I know you are still in the country. At least in hospitals and hotels, I have seen you more than once."

"What you can see must be what I want you to see," Luo Xiao said, "and what you see is not me."

Suddenly an inexplicable chill hit his neck, and he realized that behind him, at some point, there was already someone standing.

Tan Zhengming turned around slowly, and then saw Qin Yong's gloomy and silent face

But Qin Yong was the same as usual, with no superfluous expression on his face, unable to see through his emotions.Tan Zhengming thought that he came with murderous intentions, but Luo Xiao said on the phone: "Your dog, return it to you."

"..."

Tan Zhengming breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled again: "Why, the dog I used, isn't it good?"

"You know it yourself."

"Stop playing hide and seek with me, boy," Tan Zhengming said, "Could it be that he and Fan Xiaoyu used up the pile of used condoms I saw in the trash can in the ward today?"

Luo Xiao was silent for two seconds, and said, "Why do I have to say the same thing twice? - What you can see must be what I want you to see, what do you think?"

"Ouhou, demonstrate," Tan Zhengming smiled and puffed out the smoke ring, "Use the method I used to fight against me, you are a quick learner."

Luo Xiao didn't answer, but Tan Zhengming said, "Okay, don't make any detours anymore. I warned you a few months ago to leave Fan Xiaoyu. It's best to be sensible before my patience wears out."

"You finally don't want to play anymore."

"Yeah, kids don't know how to read people's faces."

"What did you do to Xiaoyu?"

"Huh? I thought you'd know?—did you ever see that kid refuse?"

"Don't provoke me."

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it," Tan Zhengming said slowly, "You better pray that your lover is honest enough to you, otherwise you may not know what he is shaking in the bottom of his heart-in the words of you young people Come? You say no, but your body is very sincere—”

"Pa—" Luo Xiao hung up the phone, his hand holding the phone trembling slightly.

Nine months ago, at the police station, the man in a suit and leather shoes who walked into the interrogation room was Tan Zhengming.

At that time Luo Xiao was not surprised to see him.After what happened at the annual meeting, he had already begun to suspect this seemingly imposing but extremely mysterious person.

Seeing Tan Zhengming sit down in front of him with a victorious smile on his face, Luo Xiao's eyes were cold: "You did it?"

"You seem to have misunderstood the person, child," Tan Zhengming said with a half-smile, "Aren't you quite sure that the person sitting in your position should be the one to be interrogated?"

Luo Xiao closed his eyes and said, "What do you want to do? Just say it."

"You're more straightforward than I thought, boy."

"Then don't talk nonsense, everyone's time is precious."

"..."

Tan Zhengming looked at him, his slender eyes had a faint fierce light.He leaned forward, looked at Luo Xiao motionlessly, and said in a low voice, "I have my eyes on something, and I want to get it."

"Oh?"

"And you are in the way."

"Oh."

"..."

Luo Xiao looked at him with a hint of contempt in his expression, Tan Zhengming felt a little irritated for the first time.

"You don't seem to be afraid of me."

"Do you look scary?"

"..."

Tan Zhengming seemed to find it very amused, he leaned his head back in the chair, and stared at him from top to bottom:

"I made a special trip for you to show respect. I intend to say this to you in person—please leave."

"What if I don't?"

"I'm notifying you now, not asking for your opinion."

"Oh."

"..."

Luo Xiao looked at him boredly, and said: "You say respect... a guy who can only take people away by drugging, what qualifications do you have to talk about 'respect' with me?—Who have you respected?"

Tan Zhengming took out a cigarette calmly, and Luo Xiao squinted at the no-smoking sign on the wall: "Smoking is banned indoors in Beijing, do you think you are in that barbaric lawless place in Texas?"

Texas is said to be the birthplace of the Tan Zhengming family, and has always been known for its tough folk customs.

It seems that Luo Xiao still did some homework on himself, Tan Zhengming lowered his head and smiled: "It's very interesting, you are not as timid as I imagined. I thought that children who grew up in that environment would not be able to do anything when they met When parrying opponents, you should only dodge—but you don’t seem to be like that?”

"What are you talking about?" Luo Xiao frowned.

"I'm saying," Tan Zhengming looked at him with a tricky expression, "You were abused and treated like trash when you were young, but you still have the courage to live up to now. It's a miracle."

"It's you……"

Is he the one who secretly inquired about his life experience and past? !

Tan Zhengming did not deny it at all, but said domineeringly: "Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle. Guess what else I know?"

"..."

"I know everything."

Luo Xiao looked at him fiercely: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"You're right, I shouldn't try to get people in a hard way, it's so simple, but there is no sense of accomplishment-I suddenly want to play a game, you guessed it, if there is fair competition, in everything that exists Based on reality, who would he choose?"

"Fair? What qualifications do you have to mention the word 'fair'?" Luo Xiao said, "Would a person who values ​​fairness invite his opponent into the game like this?"

"It's just the most convenient way," Tan Zhengming said with a smile, "otherwise I'll just show up in your living room, would you like to entertain me?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Luo Xiao stared at him motionlessly, "I warn you, don't do anything to Xiaoyu. I can talk to you calmly today, but if you dare to touch him... ...I wouldn't be so good-tempered."

"Of course I am reluctant to do anything to him," Tan Zhengming said, "After all, I like him."

Luo Xiao frowned, his pupils shrunk slightly, and he was extremely disgusted with Tan Zhengming's banter when he said this.

"But the premise is that you have to leave." Tan Zhengming said again.

"This is what you call fair?" Luo Xiao sneered, "Fair competition?"

Tan Zhengming also laughed, "After all, you have known him for several months before me. I think it's fair to let you leave now-do you think he will still miss you after I chase him?"

"This assumption is not valid," Luo Xiao said expressionlessly, "and I told you my answer from the beginning, it is impossible for me to quit."

"Let's wait and see," Tan Zhengming stood up and said, "I'm willing to abide by the male rules and compete with you, and I guarantee that I won't hurt a finger of Xiaoyu. But you... I really can't guarantee it."

"Whatever," Luo Xiao looked at him with drooping eyelids, "I still say that, from head to toe, from inside to outside, there is nothing on your body that deserves my attention."

"..."

The air in the room dropped to freezing point at one point.Luo Xiao didn't take him seriously so much, which annoyed Tan Zhengming, who had been a "superior" for half his life.

But he upheld his good self-cultivation all the time, and did not get angry with Luo Xiao.And before he left, he seemed to think of something, and turned around and said:

"Let me think about it, the first thing you do after you leave this place is probably to complain to your little boyfriend that I bullied you, right?"

Luo Xiao was a little disdainful: "You want to force me not to tell him about this?"

"It's okay to tell him," Tan Zhengming said with a smile. "It won't be long before he knows what stories his little lover can make up to discredit a potential opponent."

"Oh," Luo Xiao also laughed, "don't provoke me like this. I said I don't like your style, so naturally I won't regard you as an opponent—whether or not to tell him about this matter depends on my mood. You don't have to worry about it."

"..."

Tan Zhengming stared at him for a few seconds, then walked away.

Luo Xiao sat in the room thinking for a long time, until Bai Ran's people came to pick him up.In the middle, Fan Xiaoyu sent him a message to say good night, and gave him a message. He typed a few words to reply, but suddenly remembered that he "should" be on the plane now, and hurriedly deleted it.

On the way to Hangzhou, he asked Bai Ran about Tan Zhengming's background.

"That person..." Bai Ran rubbed his chin and said, "I heard that he is very low-key, but some people also said that his sexual fetishes are terrible. It is difficult for others in their circle to spy, so it is impossible to know if it is true or not."

"Then did he ever have a son?" Luo Xiao said, "Maybe it's not a legitimate son, maybe... an illegitimate child?"

"It's unlikely," Bai Ran said, "The only thing I can be sure of is that he doesn't like women, let alone children... He doesn't have this kind of pressure, and it's impossible for a person like him to find a surrogate—I heard What he hates most are young people under the age of 20"

"Is that so..." Luo Xiao fell into deep thought...

At midnight, Fan Xiaoyu slept alone in the room.

The plaster cast on his arm has only been applied for two days, and he is still not used to it.

He is used to sleeping on his side, but now he can only turn in one direction, and the arm covered with plaster is very heavy on his body, which once made him a little out of breath.

"Hey……"

He was lying on his back looking at the ceiling, the room was very quiet.What happened during the day still left him with lingering fears, not because he was afraid of having another suitor, but because the fear of this person seemed to permeate invisible: How long has he liked himself?Did he do the annual meeting?Are all the subsequent things related to him?

And this time Jiang Hanze was "accidentally" injured, it is very likely that someone deliberately arranged it, could it be him?

Fan Xiaoyu has been thinking for a whole day, but he still can't figure it out. What's more, he doesn't dare to think about it. He is afraid that if he digs deeper, he will find something that he doesn't want to face.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some movement outside the room.He lives in a suite, and there is a door to the bedroom after entering the door of the room.But just when he noticed that someone swiped his card at the gate to come in, and was about to grab his phone to call Hu Bao, the next second, someone pushed the door outside his bedroom and entered——

"who?!"
