deep trap

In fact, Lu Can didn't like to eat much, he didn't care if he had meat or not, and stood beside Ji Mingze, ready to help.

Ji Mingze originally wanted him to go out and wait, but when he saw the eager expression on his face, he asked, "What do you know?"

"I know a little bit," Lu Can volunteered, "I can peel potatoes!"

Ji Mingze resolutely refused: "Don't touch the knife, you go crack two eggs and mix well."

"I'm not a child, why don't you let me touch the knife," Lu Can whispered, took the egg and bowl from Ji Mingze, and rubbed it to the other side of the cooking table in disbelief.

"what--"

One minute later, Ji Mingze heard a short exclamation.

He put down the potatoes and walked over quickly, only to see that one of the two eggs was broken, lying in the bowl with its flesh and shell, and the other fell on the ground in an extremely heroic posture, and the egg white splashed on Lu Can's trouser legs.

"Sorry, I--"

Lu Can subconsciously apologized, and before he finished speaking, two tissues were stuffed into his hands, "Wipe your shoes, go change your pants."

If it was Duan Yuyang, he would definitely scold him for not being able to do such a small thing well.The man who stuffed the tissue had a normal expression, without complaining, as if he just witnessed a child make a trivial mistake.

The unspoken words were stuck in his throat, and Lu Can's voice was small: "...well, then I'll go back to the bedroom and change my pants."

After wiping off the liquid on his shoes, and watching Ji Mingze help him "take care of the funeral", Lu Can suddenly felt that the unheated north was not as cold as he imagined.

The rice is ready quickly, a pot of porridge, egg pancakes, and fried shredded potatoes.

When taking the bowl, Lu Canduo took a plate and took out the chili sauce by the way, intending to DIY potato shreds.He loves spicy food, so no matter what he eats, he puts a little chili into it.Every year Qin Yuanyuan's hometown makes new chili sauce, the first thing is to send him two cans.

Scooping chili on the plate, Lu Can picked up shredded potatoes while explaining: "I don't mean that your cooking is not delicious, it's my own taste... Eh, did you put chili?"

Ji Mingze asked: "You don't like spicy food?"

"I like it, but..."

It's just that who would put pepper in fried potato shreds?The home-cooked potato shreds in Bincheng are usually stir-fried, and rarely have hot and sour or spicy flavors.

Maybe Ji Ming also likes spicy food, Lu Can thought, this person's taste suits him quite well.

The simple side dishes can't be said to be delicious, but they are very comforting to Lu Can's stomach that has been devastated recently.After dinner, Lu Can obediently went to wash the dishes, while Ji Mingze went to the boxing room to help find a place to hang sandbags.

After the dishes were washed and the sandbags were hung up, Lu Can couldn't wait to change into the clothes she bought in the afternoon.The shorts fit well, the top of the vest was okay, the waist was a little tight, so tight that the concave lines on the sides could even be seen.

He walked out of the room, frowning: "Mr. Ji, the clothes are really too small, and I have to change them tomorrow."

Lu Can is very thin, but not thin and thin. He usually looks empty in a large sweater, but he feels a sense of strength just right when he puts on sportswear.

Ji Mingze rolled his eyes around his waist: "It's not tight, it looks good."

This person is... complimenting him on his good looks?It's been a long time since Lu Can heard someone of the same sex other than his friends praise him, and even in the fierce quarrel before the rape, Duan Yuyang said to him with bloodshot eyes: "Lu Can, don't think that everyone depends on you for being good-looking! It’s the same on the surface after a long time, what really makes two people live for a long time is understanding and running in.”

Lu Can knew that he was terrible. He was a scumbag when he was in school, and after three days of work, he spent three days fishing and two days posting on the net.

So much so that in the face of compliments, he didn't know how to answer in the first place.

Fortunately, Ji Mingze didn't care whether he answered or not, he picked out the boxing bandage and threw it to him, "You can't do strenuous exercise after eating, let's start with warming up first."

Lu Can was a little confused: "What is this for? Bandage yourself so that you won't bleed all over the place later?"

"...What are you thinking, boxing is not so brutal," Ji Mingze was dumbfounded by him, "This is a training wristband, wrapped around the wrist and hand, to prevent wrist sprains and finger cartilage fractures."

"Oh... how to tie it?"

Ji Mingze took out another one: "I'll demonstrate it to you."

Ji Mingze's entanglement was slow. After reading it, Lu Can felt that he understood. He operated like a tiger, and ended up entangled himself like a mummy.

There is no way, Ji Mingze can only slow down and demonstrate again.It's a pity that Lu Can went around with the gauntlet, but in the end he still couldn't understand.

"I'm sorry, my learning ability is a bit weak," Lu Can said in a low voice, "Either you take a rest first, and I will find a video to think about it myself."

"The first contact will not be normal. With me here, why are you looking for a video?"

Ji Mingze threw down his wristband and grabbed Lu Can's arm, "Look good. Wrap it around your wrist first, and then wrap it around the middle finger. Remember to feel the tightness and adjust the comfort level when wrapping it. I understand. ?"

The opponent's palm was very wide, and the palm was very hot. The calluses on the side of the thumb scraped against the skin, and Lu Can even felt the temperature of that part of his skin rise. "Understood, thank you."

"You don't have to apologize and thank me all the time."

"Why," Lu Can asked, "I have privileges?"

"After all, you are the only student."

Lu Can licked his lower lip, "That's it, Mr. Ji, then I will regard it as a privilege."

Ji Mingze neither agreed nor denied it.

Wrapping the wristband is the first step in learning boxing, and it is also the most basic step. Only when you are safe and guaranteed can you proceed to the next training.

Lu Can had no foundation, so Ji Mingze started teaching straight punches and jabs.These two punching postures are relatively simple. After a few swings, Lu Can felt that he could do it well. He insisted on hitting a sandbag. Ji Mingze raised the target: "Come on, hit here."

Lu Can threw a straight punch, and the target only made a slight hitting sound.

Ji Mingze stuffed the target into Lu Can's hand, said: "Hold it", and then returned the same straight punch.

"Boom—" The target dropped out of his hand in response, and Lu Can couldn't help but staggered two steps back, trying to stabilize his body so as not to let himself fall.

It turns out that this is the gap...

Lu Can settled down and went to practice the basic movements honestly. Ji Mingze would not feel bored with him.

Exercise is addictive. When Lu Can stopped, the hour hand had reached ten o'clock in the evening.

He rubbed his sore arm, "It's already this time! You have to go to work tomorrow, am I affecting your rest?"

"No, I slept late," Ji Mingze said, "Then I'll go back."

Lu Can's clothes were drenched with sweat. Ji Mingze was better, but his forehead and neck were also covered with a thin layer of sweat.

The biting autumn wind is not a joke. If it is blown, it is easy to catch a cold. Lu Can said: "This side sleeper has a shower, you should take a shower before leaving."

Ji Mingze also doesn't want to be exposed to the wind, especially his back.It happened that Lu Can had a casually bought shirt for distribution, two sizes too big.Ji Mingze took the shirt and went into the bathroom.

Lu Can planned to send Ji Mingze away first and then take a comfortable soak in a hot bath. He didn't rush to change clothes, so he sat on the living room carpet and drank ice soda.When Ji Mingze came out, there was still the last bottom of the soda bottle.

The man didn't wipe the water off his face, and his eyebrows looked extremely deep, as if he had been splashed with thick ink.The roots of the short hair are distinct, and most people would look awkward with such a short haircut, but he is not, and it makes the facial features more clear and handsome.

"...It's finished washing." Lu Can felt that somewhere that had been half-dead for the past few days was about to move, and gulped down the last sip of soda, "Want to drink it? It's in the refrigerator."

"No, thank you."

Lu Can: "The hair dryer is in the master bedroom, I'll get it for you."

"Don't bother, I'll just wipe it off with a towel."

"Oh." Lu Can pulled down his vest vigorously, and the room fell into awkward silence.

It would only be more embarrassing not to speak, Lu Can didn't want people to know that he could feel it just by looking at pictures of beautiful men out of the bath.Moreover, in Ji Mingze's heart, he was already a pervert, and if he went on like this, he might be beaten.

He had experienced Ji Mingze's fists before, and felt that he could not stand it very well.

Lu Can didn't dare to look at Ji Mingze, he picked at the body of the soda bottle, his eyes wandered, "By the way, do you learn boxing because you like it?"

Ji Mingze: "No."

Lu Can: "Does that mean you want to make it a career? I think you play well, and you have studied for a long time."

"No, my career has nothing to do with boxing. I learned boxing in college."

"I don't like it, and I don't want to make it a career. Why do you learn it?"

Ji Mingze paused for a few seconds before saying, "Strengthen your body."

Okay, enough perfunctory.

Lu Can could tell that the other party was unwilling to answer. He was not the kind of person who didn't know what to say, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After a few words of dialogue, the evil fire obediently went down.For the convenience of putting on shoes later, Lu Can went around behind Ji Mingze and patted on the entrance light.

Turning around, the moment Lu Can saw the back of Ji Mingze's neck, Lu Can stopped in place!

In order not to let his hair wet his clothes, Ji Mingze did not button his shirt, leaving his entire neck exposed.

Lu Can finally knew what flashed by in the car during the day - it was a hideous scar!Starting from the protruding knuckles at the junction of the neck and shoulders, it extends all the way down and sinks into the collar.

Don't know where it ends.

It can be described as shocking.

No wonder Ji Ming always wears clothes with a high neckline. If this scar is placed on him, he will also find it ugly and will try his best to cover it up.

Lu Can swallowed, trying not to shake her voice, "Mr. Ji, the scar on your back...how did you get it?"

Ji Mingze was stunned for a moment, "You saw it."

"Well, I saw it. But you don't have to answer me."

Lu Can guessed that it must have been a painful experience, and he spoke incoherently, "Did you watch a cartoon called "Phantom Thief Jack" when you were young? The protagonist Jack also has a scar on his neck. He often goes out at night to fight for justice, rob the rich and help the poor, Protect the residents of the city from harm. Because his face is covered, everyone can't see his face clearly, but can only see the scar, so he kindly calls him a strange thief."

"When I was a child, whenever I couldn't sleep, I would imagine that Jack would guard me by the window to protect me and defeat all monsters and monsters for me. Ah, I seem to be digressing..."

The more Lu Can talked, the more confused he became, "I mean, your scar is very cool, really cool, I only ask you if I think it looks good, whether it is your own—"

"Smash it." Before Lu Can could finish speaking, Ji Mingze interrupted him.

It was smashed...how badly did it have to be to leave such a deep scar?Lu Can pouted, "It must be very painful."

"It's ok."

Chapter 7 Fool "I told you to take water, you just take water, the supermarket has to go so far," Lu Can unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, in a soft voice, "Fool."

He didn't say "it hurts" or "it doesn't hurt", just that it doesn't matter.

Lu Can couldn't figure out the meaning of the sentence "It's okay", so the topic ended here, Ji Mingze didn't say much, and Lu Can didn't want to poke someone's scar, so he didn't ask any more.

He watched Ji Mingze go out with the pile of rotten things, panicking in his heart, and wanted to open another bottle of ice soda.

Opened the refrigerator, only to find that the freezer was empty.The meat and seafood that Duan Yuyang bought were all missing. It should be that Ji Mingze saw that they were not fresh enough, so he packed them up and took them away.

Ji Ming is really a caring and kind person, Lu Can thought.

In the next period of time, Ji Mingze will come to teach Lu Can boxing when he is free, sometimes in the afternoon and sometimes in the evening.If you come in the afternoon, there will also be a cooking service.

During the period, Lu Can took time to visit Qin Yuanyuan's house once. The girl's mood and state were quite normal. Lu Can felt relieved and told her to contact him as soon as possible if she was in trouble.

After Ji Mingze left that day, the door lock suddenly rang.Lu Can never told Ji Mingze the password, and every time he opened the door, Ji Mingze would avoid suspicion and turn around instead of looking at the numbers he entered, so it cannot be Ji Mingze who left and returned.

Could there be a thief?Lu Can quickly switched his mobile phone to the emergency dial interface, put on his shoes and went to the ground.

As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he saw a person standing in the entrance.Wearing a black windbreaker and plaid scarf, he is slender and holds a bag of fruit in his hand.

Lu Can's head buzzed, "Duan Yuyang, what are you doing here?"

Duan Yuyang untied the scarf and put down the fruit: "Come and get something."

Seeing that he wanted to take off his shoes, Lu Can resolutely refused, "Don't come in, I'll get whatever you want, or I'll find a moving company to pack it up and send it to you tomorrow."

"Xiao Can," Duan Yuyang frowned, "It's been eight years, why are you like this?"

"How about me?" Lu Can raised his voice uncontrollably, "Do you still want me to welcome you with drums and gongs? If you want to get that kind of treatment, go find your little lover, he must be very willing to cooperate with you!"

Duan Yuyang's complexion immediately changed when he was poked at the sore spot.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Xiao Can, don't be unreasonable."

"Forgive me? How do you want me to forgive you? Sincerely wish you find true love, or beg you to come back to me with tears in your eyes like the protagonist of a bitter drama?"

"Can you listen to me," Duan Yuyang explained, "I just...just drank too much that day, I don't know why I was in the hotel, I don't know that boy at all! Xiaocan, let's be together After so long, you should—"

"Enough!" Lu Can couldn't help interrupting him, and sneered, "Duan Yuyang, you are fooling a fool. You can't get hard when you are drunk. You are a man, don't you know?"

Visible to the naked eye, Duan Yuyang's expression became depressed.Lu Can originally wanted to continue to vent his anger, but when he saw the other party's appearance, he suddenly felt strange and boring.

"Let's go, I will pack and send your things to your company tomorrow, or give me another address. There is no point in continuing to entangle, and my boyfriend will be unhappy if he knows it."

"...Boyfriend?" Duan Yuyang couldn't believe it, "You don't need to find excuses to lie to me, who else is willing to live this aimless life with you except me?"

In the past, these words were no less than heart-wrenching, but Lu Can was already numb, so he didn't answer him, and directly called Ji Mingze.

The other party answered quickly: "Lu Can."

"Well," Lu Can prayed in his heart that Ji Mingze could understand what he meant, "Mr. Ji, where are you? My ex-boyfriend came to get things, and now I'm-"

"understood."

Before Lu Can finished speaking, Ji Mingze said directly: "I'll go back right away."

"Hey, no need, just wait..."

Lu Can actually wanted to prove that he had a man, and had no intention of letting Ji Mingze come back.

His response was a busy tone.

Because the living room was empty and quiet, Duan Yuyang vaguely heard their conversation, and his eyes were mixed with confusion, puzzlement, and resentment, as if he was the one who was betrayed.

Lu Can was too lazy to move his mouth, turned around and sat on the sofa and clicked on the mobile game client.Before matching teammates, the doorbell rang, and Ji Mingze had arrived.

Lu Can turned off the client and ran to open the door.Seeing Ji Mingze, Duan Yuyang realized that things seemed to be deviating in a direction beyond his control, and said in a daze: "He doesn't know the password! Xiaocan, don't lie to me, he is not your boyfriend, you didn't change the password It's to wait for me to come back!"

"This gentleman," Ji Mingze said, "whether Lu Can changes the password is not the reason for you to come in privately."

"What do you know! We have been together for eight years, and we have experienced many things that are beyond your comparability. How long have you known him, half a month?"

While Duan Yuyang was speaking, Ji Mingze glanced at him calmly, obviously without emotion, but Duan Yuyang seemed to be stabbed by something, and took a step back involuntarily.

Ji Mingze said: "First of all, how long I have known him has nothing to do with you, that is our own business; secondly, your behavior has constituted trespassing, and I called the police on the way here. If you don't want face, I will I don't mind going to the police station in the middle of the night to take notes with you; finally, if I see you appearing around Lu Can again, don't blame me for doing something to you."

Duan Yuyang is tall, but his figure is not enough for Ji Mingze.Hearing this, probably because he was afraid of entering the police station, Duan Yuyang gritted his teeth and left unwillingly.

The moment they passed by, Ji Mingze suddenly stopped him: "Wait."

Duan Yuyang: "?"

Ji Mingze kicked the bag of fruit at the door: "He doesn't need your trash, take it away."

"..." Picking up the plastic bag, Duan Yuyang slammed the door hard and walked away.

It is said to be numb, but after all they have been together for so long, how many people can be truly indifferent.

The sound of the door slamming reverberated in the air, and it took Lu Can a long time to realize that he was not alone in the living room, so he quickly thanked: "Mr. Ji, I'm sorry to trouble you, but I have to come back to help me deal with this mess."

"It's okay," Ji Mingze said, "It just so happens that I didn't go far."

Lu Can couldn't make a fuss for nothing, Lu Can thought for a while: "Are you in a hurry to sleep, why don't you go out for supper together?"

"What to eat."

"Let's do it, celebrate that I finally got rid of the scumbag... Um, I forgot to tell you, I actually like men, if you mind this, we can break contact."

Even if the modern society is open and inclusive, liking the same sex is an unspeakable sexual orientation that is difficult to be accepted by the secular public.Lu Can didn't want to say it at first, but planned to slowly test Ji Mingze's attitude towards homosexuality.

It's a pity that the sky didn't go as planned, and a farce disrupted the plan.

He pretended to be indifferent, ready to accept the other party's insults.From Ji Ming's series of reactions, he could see that the other party was probably an honest straight man, and he couldn't do such deviant things.

Sure enough, Ji Mingze didn't look at him directly, he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone to click.

Is it calculating the remaining car repair costs, or deleting WeChat contacts?

Lu Can's eyes fell on his toes, and his chest felt tight.

Then I heard a man's voice coming from top to bottom, "I saw a barbecue restaurant open 500 meters away, it's late, where should I go?"

"...Oh, yes!" Lu Can felt relieved in an instant, "Wait for me to get the key!"

The barbecue restaurant Ji Mingze mentioned was opposite the community, and it was approaching midnight, and there were only two tables of customers left in the restaurant.Lu Can was not in the mood to chat, and Ji Mingze always talked less. They wrapped up all the leftover meat skewers from the barbecue shop, and finished the supper quietly with a few small dishes.

Autumn and winter nightlife in the north is limited. Lu Can originally wanted to thank Ji Mingze, but going to a KTV bar was unrealistic. Teacher Ji didn't look like he liked to play, and finally suggested: "Let's take a walk."

"Oh."

"Aside from oh, can you say anything else?" Lu Can joked.

Ji Mingze then changed his rhetoric: "Okay, let's go for a walk."

Lu Can really smiled this time: "Then let's go, there is a gazebo at the east gate of the community, the scenery is quite good, it is very suitable for admiring the moon... Fuck, today is cloudy, there is no moon."

"A little."

Ji Mingze pointed to the sky, where the two dark clouds meet, a few rays of moonlight leaked out, hanging down on the dome like soft noodles, it is hard to describe it as "moonlight".

It can be seen that as long as you want to enjoy the moon with someone, you can find the moon everywhere in the sky.

Passing through two rockery sculptures, an artificial lake, and crossing a wooden bridge more than ten meters long, you will arrive at the gazebo Lu Can mentioned.

The street lights were dim, and dead leaves were flying into the sky in curls. Lu Can sat on a stone bench with a big horse and a golden knife, put on a sweater and hat, and suddenly said: "Mr. Ji, I'm actually a very bad person."

Ji Mingze sat beside him, looking down at him with an expression of "willing to hear more about it".

"When I was in school, I was poor in my studies. I was a typical scumbag. I could only go to a private school. I studied abroad. I got a degree certificate after graduation, but Pheasant University has no advantage in the job market, so I went to a private school. Go to the company at home to get a part-time job, and go to work for three days fishing and two days posting on the net. If you want to travel, you can leave at any time, and the leader will not come to me if you don’t show up for a month.”

"I don't have a skill that can be used, and my only interest is probably playing. There is no clear goal and plan for the future. The phrase 'eating and dying' is tailor-made for me."

Lu Can couldn't help but think of the fierce quarrel before the rape, and Duan Yuyang's tired voice pierced into his heart like a knife, "Xiao Can, we are not children anymore, we can't live like this forever. You have thought about life What is the meaning of it? Do you know what kind of life you want? What is the next goal-have you planned me into your future?"

One question after another was thrown over his head and face, and Lu Can was bewildered.Seeing his bewildered expression, Duan Yuyang grabbed his coat and rushed out the door. Lu Can witnessed him lying on the bed with another boy in the hotel that night.

So it is not all Duan Yuyang's problem that they will break up without a slap.

Ji Mingze listened quietly without expressing any opinions.In fact, Lu Can chose to tell Ji Mingze these things instead of talking to Lao Mao or other friends, because he was silent and reliable.

Like a tree, silent, silent, but you know he has been standing there.

Lu Can closed his eyes and raised his chin, feeling the coldness of the autumn wind across his eyelids.For a moment, his thoughts were disturbed by the wind, and he tugged at the sleeves of the person beside him, "I'm so thirsty, help me get a glass of water."

As soon as the words fell, Duan Yuyang's impatient face immediately appeared in his mind.Resentfully preparing to get it by herself, it was only then that she realized that she was outside, and the person sitting next to her was not Duan Yuyang, but Ji Mingze.

"Mr. Ji, no need...Ji Ming?"

Lu Can opened his eyes, and there was no one else in the gazebo except himself.I stood up and shouted a few times, but also got no response.

While wondering, the familiar tall silhouette came from the backlight outside the east gate.Lu Can narrowed his eyes, and wanted to ask Ji Mingze why he was there, when a plastic bottle was handed to him.

"...Did you go to buy water?" Lu Can was surprised.

"Ah."

"I told you to take water, you just take water, the supermarket has to go so far," Lu Can unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, with a soft voice, "Fool."
