The Canary's Trap

In August, when it came to the rainy season, there was no sunshine for half a month.When the rain falls, it is wet and sticky, and when it is heavy, it is violent, and the humidity and decay in the air become more intense, making it hard to breathe.

In the majestic rain, a thin figure flashed past, holding a black umbrella, stepping on the asphalt road with stagnant water, and hurried to the billboard of the shopping mall.

His trouser legs were rolled up slightly, his ankles were cold and white, splashed with some mud, and most of the white shirt on his body was wet. At this moment, he was slowly putting away his umbrella and looking up at the bustling crowd on the street.

It was raining heavily, but there were many pedestrians, most of them holding umbrellas and looking for a place to rest and shelter from the rain.

Today is Qixi Festival, Lu Ling thought in a daze.

"Sir, do you want flowers?" A gentle female voice broke his contemplation.

Lu Ling turned her head away, her eyes shone with tiny rays of light, her eyelashes were long and curly, casting a nice silhouette on her face.

The speaker was a young girl of about 20 years old.

"No, thank you." Lu Ling replied with a smile.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Today is Qixi Festival, do you have anyone who wants to send flowers?"

Lu Ling looked down at her slightly: "No."

The girl was a little embarrassed. Realizing her abruptness, she paused, and casually took out a few red roses from a large bunch of red roses in her hand: "Sir, I'm sending you off. I see you are very eye-catching."

Lu Ling lowered his eyes in doubt, and the girl smiled frankly: "Hehe, you look really good-looking, and you look very comfortable, and you can't sell a few of these flowers today, so you just throw them away, so you just accept it. "

Lu Ling bent his eyes, but finally couldn't stand the girl's expectant gaze, took the roses, but only took one.

The girl said lively: "Then I wish you can find the person who can send flowers."

Lu Ling thanked with a smile.

The two strangers stood and chatted for a while, and then Lu Ling realized that the girl was a sophomore in a key provincial university, and she came out to sell flowers for Valentine's Day to earn some pocket money.

While chatting, the rain was a little lighter. Considering that he had to go to work, he said goodbye to the girl, held up the umbrella, and covered the flowers to his chest. Suddenly, a warm current surged in his heart because of the occasional kindness.

In the past, on such a rainy day, Lu Ling would hide in Shen Yuchuan's arms and act like a baby, sticking to his side like an octopus. sense of security.

Shen Yuchuan would gently kiss his forehead and say, "Lulu, rainy days are the best time to sleep."

However, Lu Ling felt that on a rainy day, it was most suitable for Shen Yuchuan to sleep with his arms around him, and it was more suitable for two people to kiss forehead to forehead, nose tip to nose tip, lingering/sentimental/pathetic.

But he also knows that those tenderness are false castles in the air, poison used to coax him.

Lu Ling raised his head halfway, and glanced at the gray sky. To be honest, he didn't really like this city with constant rain all year round.

Time seems to have passed for a long time, so long that he can heal himself and forget some of the past.

He stroked the clock on his wrist with his fingers, it was now a midsummer evening, five fifteen.

Cloudy, heavy rain.

A year after his father went to prison.

It was also the 412th day when he and Shen Yuchuan broke up.

-

The place where Lu Ling works is a fairly good night bar in a small town. He has been working part-time in the bar for more than a month. The working hours are from 6:[-] pm to [-] am, with shifts every half a month.

He resigned from a [-]-to-[-] company a few weeks ago and re-submitted several resumes online and has yet to hear back.

Lu Ling came to the changing room of the bar, packed up his clothes and went out of the room. When he walked to the bar, the DJ with earrings blinked at him and whistled, while skillfully playing the disc: "Hi, baby, You are here~"

Lu Ling gave him a blank look, then picked up the tray and prepared to go to the wine room to get some wine.

DJ immediately jumped off the stool and chased after him with big strides. As soon as he got off the bar, he bumped into a tall man and frowned unconsciously.

The man raised his eyes and glanced at him. DJ's hand was startled, and he felt chills all over his body when he saw it.

The man was wearing a black shirt and looked like a social elite. He looked very young, with a handsome face that was rewarded by God, but his facial features were too cold and hard, his eyes were narrow and long, and his temperature was cold and far-reaching when he looked at people. It inevitably gives people a strong sense of distance that is inaccessible.

DJ trembled in his heart unconsciously: "Sir, I'm really sorry, are you okay?"

It was just a bump, the man pursed his thin lips tightly, and shook his head coldly.

DJ didn't have time to interrupt him, so he just yelled in the direction where Lu Ling was walking away: "Oh, Lu Ling, just wait for me." After speaking, he chased after him.

The man stopped suddenly, staring fixedly at the place where DJ's hand went, his facial expression stiffened instantly.

The middle-aged man who was traveling with him turned around and asked him suspiciously: "What's the matter, Mr. Shen, do you know that person?"

"I don't know." The man replied without expression, and withdrew his gloomy gaze.

When DJ caught up with Lu Ling, he was slightly tiptoeing to get a drink from a high place. His waist was slender, revealing a section of snow-white skin, which was very attractive.

When he saw Lu Ling for the first time, he almost thought she was a beautiful short-haired girl, with white and glowing skin, and a pair of beautiful eyes that looked like some kind of animal. The water rippled around him, and he was fascinated by it until Lu Ling greeted him. , just woke up, it turned out to be a docile boy.

"Chen Mu, what are you in a daze for?" Lu Ling asked him with his back to the light, and he had already put the wine bottle into the tray.

Chen Mu chuckled: "Well, Lu Ling, I'm fascinated by your beauty. Alas, you said that you are not a girl. It's a pity, it's a pity."

Chen Mu is really a straight man, and he knows in his heart that no matter how good-looking Lu Ling is, he is still a man, but when he looks at it, he will inevitably sigh in his heart.

Lu Ling glared at him angrily: "I'm going to work, don't play tricks on me."

Chen Mu grinned, and put his arms around his shoulders: "Okay, let's go, come and find me after work, and take you to have supper after get off work."

Although the two had known each other for less than a month, Chen Mu was generous and helped Lu Ling solve some good customers several times. Once they came and went, the two became buddies.

Although Lu Ling knew about his sexual orientation, Chen Mu didn't care about him, and he had a straightforward personality, so he didn't shy away from these daily intimate actions.

After getting the wine, Lu Ling came to the private room and knocked on the door. There was a lot of noise inside, and no one responded for a long time.

"Hello, Watet, I'll bring you some wine." Lu Ling opened his mouth, and knocked harder on the door.

At this time, someone came over with a slow pace, opened the door very rudely, glanced at him, and urged: "Hurry up, don't delay my good work!"

Lu Ling had just seen the scene in the room clearly, it was smoky, and there were a few well-dressed middle-aged men sitting inside, many of them with beer bellies and half-bald hair, they should be some respectable people.

All of them hugged fair-skinned, long-legged beauties with heavy make-up, and their movements could not be described as intimidating.

Lu Ling bent down slightly, took the wine out of the tray, straightened up, and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes about 40 years old, with eyes shining brightly, looking him up and down.

At that time, Lu Ling was wearing a tight-fitting white shirt with the corners tucked into his trousers, which was so good that he outlined his high buttocks and slender waist. When he lowered his head, he could even unbutton a button. The looming collarbone can be seen in the jacket.

An alluring good look.

The man smiled: "What's your name?"

"Lu Ling."

There was a "bang", and the sound of glass shattering suddenly sounded in the dark place of the light.

Everyone turned their gazes to an inconspicuous corner behind them, and only then did Lu Ling see that there was a man sitting there, but the light was too dim, so he couldn't see the man's face clearly, and felt that the air around him was becoming darker. Do not circulate.

"Mr. Shen, what's the matter?" Someone asked first.

Lu Ling's back froze, and a string of fireworks exploded in his head. Surnamed Shen?He quickly calmed himself down again, so what if the surname is Shen, there are many people with the surname Shen in the world, there is no need to be an enemy.

At this time, a cold voice sounded like snow in winter: "It's okay, my hand slipped."

Lu Ling's heart, which had finally calmed down, started beating violently again. He suddenly stood up straight, his entire facial expression was frozen and stiff, and he felt dizzy for a while, and his feet were as soft as stepping on cotton.

This voice, even after death, will be burned in his ashes.

Yes……

"You", the middle-aged man who looked at him just now waved at Lu Ling, "Go and change Yu Chuan's goblet."

Yes, Shen Yuchuan.

Lu Ling was stunned for a moment, nodded, turned around and took out a brand new glass from the tray, grasping the wall of the glass with his fingers, his knuckles turned white with force, it was not hard to doubt that he would crush the glass.

Fortunately, Shen Yuchuan calmly took the cup in his hand, the expression on his face was hidden in the backlight, with his usual indifference, he didn't say anything.

Lu Ling didn't know how she walked away from him with trembling hands, she just kept controlling herself not to look at him.

When he returned to the sofa in a daze, the man who had been staring at him said, "Lu Ling, don't you stop running errands today, I'll give you ten times the salary, can you come over to drink with me?"

Lu Ling's eyes moved, he didn't look at the man, but unconsciously looked at Shen Yuchuan's position, and then chuckled, "Sorry, sir, I don't want to accompany you."

"Oh?" The man hooked his mouth, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and made a call to someone. Seeing this, Lu Ling took another sneak peek at Shen Yuchuan, took a deep breath in his heart, and finally Resist the urge to stick back to him.

He finally opened the door and walked out.

The spectators in the private room laughed and said, "Why, Mr. Qi, when did you play with men?"

"Occasionally, it's rare to have the right taste." The other party replied ambiguously.

As soon as Lu Ling walked around the corner, the phone rang. He took out his phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Lu Ling, you are staying in private room No. 16 today, just order some tea and wine, and serve them exclusively."

Lu Ling's expression changed: "The manager—"

"Oh, Xiao Ling," the manager interrupted him impatiently, "Even if we are doing a secret transaction, we should pay attention to your request, otherwise it will be knowing the law and breaking the law. Besides, there are some prominent bosses in the room. Everyone cares about their own image, they won't really do anything, you serve them well, run more errands for them, and I'll give you... and that bastard Chen Mu a bonus."

Lu Ling wanted to say something more, but the manager said "Don't mess it up." He hung up the phone directly.

Lu Ling was helpless, after thinking about it, he was right, the main reason was that he really wasn't that attractive.

He hesitated for a while, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn back.

When the door was opened, the man looked at him with meaningful eyes. Lu Ling was startled, and his eyes fell on Shen Yuchuan who was at the back.

Shen Yuchuan raised his eyes and seemed to look back at him, Lu Ling felt cold all over his body.

He knew it was a trap, but the manager was tricky. If he turned around and left, it didn't matter if he lost his job. He was afraid that he would target Chen Mu. In this case, he could only be vigilant at all times and see what he did.
