Lin Kuan cooked porridge for himself slowly, not even daring to add more chicken essence.

Chu Yao didn't reply to the text message all the time, and he didn't know what happened to him.

He always thought that Song Wenke was a straight man—maybe because the other party was a soldier, besides, he was a teacher-level figure, and he was so domineering when he walked, it was so different from the gays he had come into contact with before, so Lin Kuan never thought of him that way.

However, the reality gave him a cruel blow.

While waiting for the porridge to boil, he lay on the sofa and squinted for a while, planning to sleep for 10 minutes.But he lay flat on the sofa, his mind was filled with all kinds of details of the time when he was with Chu Yu and Song Wenke, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't fall asleep.

What filled his mouth was not only the smell of blood, but also a strange bitterness.

Until the phone in the trouser pocket rang a text message alert.

He opened his eyes and pulled it out stiffly.

"Sorry, I have lied to you all this time. In fact, I have been with him for two years. I pretended to be single and hooked up with you. In fact... it was because he was too fierce to me. I wanted to use you to make him treat me softer." I'm really sorry, I hope you forgive my selfishness."

He read this passage over and over again, and finally realized one thing.

It turned out that he, Lin Kuan, had always been a supporting role in the love affair between Chu Yao and Song Wenke. ...or—but, just a flavoring.

He thought it was true love.

The boiling sound of "Gulu Gulu" came to the eardrums, Lin Kuan turned over from the sofa, ran to the kitchen, took the chopsticks to uncover the pot lid, then rested the chopsticks on the edge of the pot, and put the lid back on.

He stared at the tumbling white porridge, thinking a lot, but he didn't seem to think about anything.

What exactly does Chu Yao want, Song Wenke's love?He thought of Song Wenke's fierce eyes staring at him just now, and felt that the other party had already firmly grasped such a thing in his hands, so why bother?

The more Lin Kuan thought about it, the more he didn't understand.

He always felt that there must be another reason for Chu Yao to do this.

The porridge had been boiled enough, so he unplugged the range hood, took out a bowl from the cupboard, and poured the hot porridge into the bowl with a spoon.

Sitting on the sofa and thinking for a long time, he still called Chu Yao unwillingly.

He just wanted to make it clear.

The phone rang seven times and was finally hung up.

Immediately afterwards, a message was displayed on the screen.

Baby: I'm sorry, we don't want to contact you any more.

Lin Kuan tilted his head back in a daze, leaned against the back of the sofa, and stared at the ceiling.

"...Damn it." It wasn't until the porridge on the table was almost cold that he finally cursed two words vaguely.

Obviously he is the victim, he is the one being tricked, why should he be melancholy here alone?He was beaten by Song Wenke for no reason.

Thinking of his gloriously sacrificed tooth, Lin Kuan wanted to jump up and shout towards the sky.

Do you want to go too far?

But he didn't do that after all.

Trees need bark, people need face.It is he himself who is stupid, and if he is used by others, and if he spreads it out, he will probably be laughed at for a lifetime.Besides... Don't think about it so much, Ji Guitang will definitely be the first to rush up to him at that time.

Exhaling heavily from his nasal cavity, Lin Kuan frowned and finished the slightly cold porridge one bite at a time.

Well, these two people have nothing to do with him in the future.He just wanted to live an ordinary life, and he didn't want to be involved in such a sad and sad farce at all.

***

The next two days are weekends.Lin Kuan counted the rice in the rice tank, and felt that it was feasible for the cat to stay in the dormitory for two or three days without going out. If the injury did not heal by Monday, he could only ask the school for leave.

Although he had planned well in his heart, since he woke up the next morning, he was so decadent that he even spent more than an hour getting up. After washing up hard, he didn't even want to watch TV, and lay back on the bed with a dazed expression. , Pull up the quilt and lie down on the corpse.

My face hurts, my gums hurt even more, I'm hungry, and I can't eat.

annoying.

When a person is sick, it is easy to fall asleep and feel tired all the time.Lin Kuan woke up hungry at 02:30 in the afternoon, moved to the kitchen to eat some porridge left over from last night, and continued to sleep with his face twitching.

Until a quick knock on the door and a familiar shout reached his ears.

It seemed to come from far away. At first he thought he was dreaming, but the voice became louder and clearer until it completely passed into Lin Kuan's mind.

"Hiroko, hello! Are you dead?! The phone is turned off. I asked the uncle downstairs. You didn't go out at all. Open the door!"

Ji Guitang knocked on the door very quickly.

Lin Kuan slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly jumped up from the bed as if thinking of something.

Damn... Ji Guitang is here.

Sitting on the bed hesitated for a long time, knocking on the door and shouting did not stop, but became louder and louder. From time to time, the voice of Ji Guitang chatting with various passing teachers could be heard.

"Ah! Hello, Mr. Li, where are you eating? It's okay, I'm looking for Lin Kuan, but he won't open the door for a long time."

"...Teacher Song, please walk slowly, watch your legs!"

"Lin Kuan, quickly open the door for me! I know you're inside..."

Based on what he knew about Ji Guitang, if he hadn't opened the door, the other party would have stood outside and kept knocking.Lin Kuan rushed to the bathroom quickly, removed the gauze and inspected the wound on his face.

It didn't get better at all, and it was more red and swollen.

Sighing, he finally walked over and opened the door step by step.

The expression on Ji Guitang's face could already be regarded as ferocious. He knocked persistently for more than ten minutes, and he almost punched a hole in the door.

But when he saw Lin Kuan who opened the door with an unshaven beard, red eyes, and gauze-covered face, he was stunned for a moment.

"Who the hell made you into this—?!"

Ji Guitang's roar echoed in the corridor.

Lin Kuan quickly pulled him into the room, and closed the door behind him.

"Can you keep your voice down, the whole world knows..."

He gritted his teeth and vaguely stopped Ji Guitang from yelling.

Teacher Ji was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit him.

***

After finally getting through the catastrophe of being tortured and inspecting all wounds "from the inside to the outside", Lin Kuan felt that he was almost a useless person.

"What do you mean, Chief Song and the man surnamed Chu are a couple, and the bitch surnamed Chu wants you to be cannon fodder in order to stimulate him?!" Ji Guitang slammed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table, and couldn't help but feel the pain in his chest. A monstrous rage.

"Song Wenke, he probably doesn't know..." After being beaten so badly, Lin Kuan no longer called Song Wenke "Brother Wen".

"Damn it, how can you eat meat without teeth? He must be too ruthless." Ji Guitang made Lin Kuan open his mouth again, and carefully looked at the cotton stuffed in his mouth, "I and Tell me, don't be afraid of him, although he is some kind of Mr. Zhuge Liang, three cobblers are better than a Zhuge Liang, and we two will deal with him together, and we won't kill him so easily..."

"Forget it..." Lin Kuan shook his head sullenly, "I don't want to get involved in their affairs anymore."

When Ji Guitang, who was impassionedly planning revenge, heard his words, he could only lower his voice in a low voice: "...You are right to have such thoughts."

One of the two looked at their knees and the other looked at each other's face. After a full three minutes, Ji Guitang suddenly bumped Lin Kuan's shoulder: "You should be melancholy or decadent. You'll be fine for two or three days. If you think about it, hurry up and get rid of your beard." Scratch it, forget all those fucking memories of the past. And me, you know?"

The truth is that everyone can understand it, but doing it is another matter.Lin Kuan stood up, walked over and turned on the TV: "Let's watch TV."

Staring at his empty face, Ji Guitang could only let out a faint sigh.

At least two nasties were all eliminated.

***

After Song Wenke came out of Chu Yao's house, he specially went to clean up the guard who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

That is to say, when passing the gate, he kicked and broke the lock.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill.

The car was parked outside the community, and I hadn't had time to drive in.The orderly sat in the driver's seat and played with his mobile phone by himself. Seeing Song Wenke turn back, he hurriedly put the mobile phone into his pocket.

He thought the other party would let him drive the car into the community, but Song Wenke got into the back seat and closed the car door heavily.The orderly carefully glanced at Song Wenke's face in the rearview mirror, it was so dark that ink could ooze out.

"Chief...please give me instructions."

"Drive, go back to the army." Song Wenke ordered in a deep voice, as if thousands of knives were slashing back and forth in his eyes.

"Yes!"

The car was started quickly, and then drove away without the slightest hesitation.

Song Wenke didn't think of anything else, he just suddenly remembered the two little soldiers, one black and one white a few months ago.

Isn't this a kind of irony?

For a mere man.

Lin Kuan stayed in the dormitory for the whole weekend. Since Ji Guitang found out about this, he didn't even cook porridge at all, and let Teacher Ji take care of him the whole time.

Teacher Ji was in a good mood. She was doing her best after all the busy work. She applied medicine and bought porridge. She didn't complain at all. She even helped Lin Kuan cut his toenails.

Even so, by Monday, the wound on his face still hadn't healed.

"I checked on the Internet. If you go for dental implants, it should still be able to fix it, but you can't use this tooth if you eat hard food." Ji Guitang said while using the remote control to change the channel.

"Oh." Lin Kuan listened, and carefully touched his gauze-covered face again.

Seeing his gloomy appearance, Ji Guitang couldn't help it. He knew nothing about relationships than Lin Kuan, and he never thought about getting a girlfriend, let alone such difficult emotional disputes.

The next day, Lin Kuan asked Ji Guitang to take a leave of absence for him, and continued to lie on the bed.After three or four days like this, the wound on my face finally healed almost.

So he took the time to go to the dental hospital. After consulting the doctor's opinion, he found that it could be cured, which cost more than 1 yuan. I made up my mind and paid the money.

He thought that his life would be like this from now on.

***

After Song Wenke returned to the military area in a hurry, he didn't say hello to any battalion commander, and just nestled on the mahogany chair in the dormitory to smoke and meditate.

The cigarettes were piled up one by one, and within two hours, they piled up into a hill.

The orderly brought him a whole three sticks of Zhonghua from the outside, and he smoked them one by one.

The dormitory was filled with smoke, and the orderly ran outside to seek refuge.

I have never seen Chief Song worry like this.

Like a dog with a dead wife.

Song Wenke thought a lot.

He first recalled all the weird words and deeds of Chu You in the past six months, and then he carefully grasped every detail of how he and Lin Kuan got along with each other.

It is quite difficult for him to drill these complicated scenes back into his mind, so Song Wenke can only think while smoking, but he doesn't know what he is trying to do with these things.

Looking for an answer, or just trying to find the perfect excuse for this ridiculous experience?

He tried his best to recall the expression on Lin Kuan's face every time he faced him, trying to find evidence that the other party was playing with him from his memories, but in the end he found that this was a very difficult thing.

Thinking of what happened later, Song Wenke began to worry about whether his punch to Lin Kuan would be too hard. After all, everyone was thrown to the ground by him at that time.

It seemed that there was still blood coming from the corner of his mouth.

Song Wenke stayed in the army for a whole week.

On the third day, Old Commander Song called.

"You still don't know how to come back? The story of you fighting with a strange man because of that little boy has been spread everywhere, don't you think it's not humiliating enough? I told you that man is not a good bird, and you are still talking to a fool You are all happy every day, and you are living a good life, are you living a good life? You have completely lost the old face of our Song family..."

Old Commander Song is about to retire, and his menopause is in the peak period. It is estimated that his grandma is not nearby. Once he starts nagging, he will talk endlessly. Song Wenke listened to his father's long series of nagging in silence, without replying a word. Hang up the phone directly.

When he goes back, he must peel off all the idlers who have broken mouths, and clean them up one by one...

In the next four days, Song Wenke ran to the army's back mountain to pull grass for a few nights.He has always treated everyone equally from top to bottom. He made a mistake and punished him harder than anyone else.

Then he made up his mind, went straight down the mountain, changed into a better dress, and asked the orderly to take him to Lin Kuan's school.

If you don't understand, then go ask.

Song Wenke didn't intend to let Lin Kuan go easily, no matter how he looked at it, he had to know all about the real story.

According to Lin Kuan's personality, he shouldn't hold grudges against him for so long. After all, the two of them had such a good time before. Could it be that they could easily sever ties with him just because of one Chu Yao?

Song Wenke thought very simply.

***

Lin Kuan had just returned from the hospital, and had only sat on the sofa to rest for a few minutes when someone knocked on the door.

He thought it was Ji Guitang, didn't think much about it, stood up directly, yelled "Come here" casually, and walked over to open the door.

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, it was Song Wenke standing outside.

The man just stood on the threshold in a daze, staring at him with secretive eyes.

The two looked at each other for three seconds. Before Song Wenke could speak, Lin Kuan closed the door decisively.

Song Wenke was so scared that he stretched his foot in to block the door that was about to close: "Hey—Xiao Kuan, don't close the door in a hurry, let's talk..."

Of course, Lin Kuan's strength was not as strong as Song Wenke's. Besides, he was injured just right, and his body was already weak, so he could only resist the door with all his strength: "There is nothing to talk about, why are you coming to me? I don't want to talk to you again." related to you..."

Hearing that he said that he didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, Song Wenke's heart arose for no reason, and he was not polite at all. He slammed the door open and shouted out of control: "Nothing to talk about?! You steal It’s a good idea to stay away from my bastard, and want to stay out of it—!” After the words went out, he realized that he had said too much, but he couldn’t take it back, so he could only stand there with a stiff face, observing Lin Kuan's expression.

Lin Kuan was almost thrown out, and took two or three steps back in embarrassment, frowning and covering his sore arm. Hearing Song Wenke's words, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Did I know that Chu Yao was originally your target! I'm the most innocent person, okay? I was cheated by Chu Yao, and you knocked out a tooth for no reason. Who did I provoke? "At this point, he doesn't care so much anymore, he just tore his face, who is afraid of anyone, this is his dormitory, and it's not in Song Wenke's territory.

Hearing Lin Kuan said that he had a tooth knocked out by himself, Song Wenke hummed in his head, without thinking too much, he quickly stepped forward and held the other's face in two steps: "Which tooth fell out, I have a look……?"

It's a pity that such an act of concern was immediately rejected by Lin Kuan.He pushed Song Wenke's hand away fiercely: "Don't put on an air of hypocrisy. I'm miserable enough, please, please don't disturb my life, Chief Song, can you? I've dealt with you and Mrs. Chu before." I don’t know, and I still don’t know about it now, you should ask him, it’s useless to find me.”

"Can you guarantee that you didn't see traces of another man when you were with him? I don't believe that you didn't go to bed. You two did those adulterous things behind my back. I haven't settled with you yet, you Don't try to stay out of it! Lin Kuan, do you think everything will be fine if you escape alone? Let me tell you, there is no way!" Song Wenke couldn't help getting angry when he saw Lin Kuan's eagerness to get rid of him. The momentum of the soldier's lecture was revealed for a moment, and he yelled at Lin Kuan.

Lin Kuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he clenched his fists and straightened his neck not to be outdone: "Then what do you want, do you want me to pay for it? Is it my fault? I haven't settled with you two yet. , I haven’t asked you to pay for the medical expenses that you knocked out a tooth of mine!!”

The two of them were arguing like this in the small dormitory, and they continued to engage in meaningless bickering behaviors. The process was completely arguing over whose voice was louder. They got closer and closer, their faces almost touching each other.

Then, without knowing who punched who first in the stomach, the verbal fight between the two of them officially escalated into a fight of fists and kicks, with you pestering me and me grabbing you and wrestling.

However, maybe it was because Lin Kuan was in a fit of anger. Although his moves were very messy, he used [-]% of his strength to greet Song Wenke with his fists and kicked randomly.The two wrestled directly to the ground, and the scene was very chaotic.

If the teaching director had been present, he would have been so frightened that Lin Kuan would have been expelled from the teacher on the spot.

"Damn it, play with me..."

"Don't go too far, my face is not fully healed..."

"Don't kick me——!!"

"I'll just kick—"

"what--"

Suddenly, the two of them pinched each other's necks, and I don't know what they touched. There was a loud shout in their ears, and the commentator shouted passionately: "Go, goal, la! This wave of Evergrande kicked out!" It has reached a world-class level, let's take a look at the replay..."

Song Wenke and Lin Kuan turned their heads to look at the TV screen at the same time.

This game between Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai Shenhua was very exciting. Evergrande scored two goals in a row within 10 minutes, kicking the opponent's goalkeeper to the ground several times, which attracted the attention of both of them. Just like that, he stopped the willful fight and sat on the ground to watch the match.

When Ji Guitang came in, he saw Song Wenke with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and Lin Kuan with a large black patch on his arm, side by side.
