Played by the devil in the palm of his hand

When Xu Chi saw him coming, he just greeted him briefly, presumably by default he was a friend of the man's side.

With a glass in his hand, he was mixing a cocktail himself.All kinds of wine were poured in, and the color of the liquid in the glass gradually turned into a beautiful ice blue.

As Xu Chi adjusted, he glanced at Jun Ye out of the corner of his eye, probably wondering why he was standing here all the time.After thinking about it for a while, Xu Chi raised his glass to him and asked politely, "Shall I make you a glass too?"

Jun Ye smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, don't worry about me."

Xu Chi muttered a few words in a low voice and continued to mix his own wine.

Jun Ye looked far away, looking at the bride and groom on the stage.The master of ceremonies is reading the oath, the bride and groom are about to exchange rings, and white doves are falling on the background board.

Jun Ye asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Are you happy that she can get married?"

"Yes." Xu Chi took a sip to taste the cocktail, and said casually, "I'm afraid that she won't be able to marry for the rest of her life."

Jun Ye couldn't help laughing, "She is very beautiful, there should be many suitors."

"What's the use of being beautiful? With such high eyesight, no one will look up to you. You hate this one and that one."

Jun Ye asked abruptly, "What about you?"

"Ah?" Xu Chi turned his head to look at him suspiciously, his eyes filled with puzzlement, "What am I?"

"Have you ever fallen in love with someone?"

In this warm and romantic dream, Jun Ye gently asked this question.

He seemed to have never asked Xu Chiai whether he loved him or not, maybe because he didn't want to hear the answer, so Jun Ye kept the question on the shelf and never asked it.Perhaps only in this way, he can put his relationship with Xu Chi in a hazy atmosphere, so that he won't tear himself apart and fight each other with swords and swords.

But in the dream, he asked out.

He thought that Xu Chi would hesitate for a while and think for a long time, but what Jun Ye didn't expect was that, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chi replied without hesitation, "No."

Jun Ye's expression froze, his eyes wandered for a while, and he quickly covered it up.

He obviously has no expression on his face, but those eyes are inexplicably sad, as if there is some vague emotion buried deep in his heart, which is invisible to the sky and covered by the thick soil.

Jun Ye whispered: "...Is there not one?"

"Not one." Xu Chi's eyes were cold, without sunlight, like a gray ice field.

There was still blue sky and green grass behind him, but the originally soft wind picked up out of nowhere, with cold thorns, blowing the corners of his clothes and the broken hair on his forehead.

Jun Ye heard his calm voice, cold and indifferent:

"I'll never fall in love with anyone."

……boom!

The sparrow flying at night outside hit the window of the bedroom. It was dizzy, flapped its wings vigorously, and flew away from the window sill.

The sound was not loud, but it was very clear in the silence of the night. Xu Chi was disturbed, and his body instinctively became vigilant, even in sleep.

So Jun Ye was forced out of the dream and opened his eyes.

Although Xu Chi was disturbed, he did not wake up and continued to fall asleep.Jun Ye sat up and stared at him deeply.

Xu Chi is very good-looking, because of work, he always pretends to be fierce, and his eyes are full of malice, but in fact, his appearance is very clear at first glance, like the boy next door in the morning idol drama.

How can such a warm appearance say such indifferent words?

'I will never fall in love with anyone...'

In other words, everything he did for Xu Chi was useless, and all the love he poured into him was just one-sided wishful thinking.

After living for so many years, Jun Ye felt a slight tingling in his heart for the first time.The kind of pain that can't be loved, the pain that completely belongs to mortals, appeared in his body.

Could it be that Xu Chi was his catastrophe?

Jun Ye stretched out his hand, and grabbed Xu Chi's neck gently.He could feel the other party's fragile pulse beating at his fingertips, as long as he exerted his strength, Xu Chi could die silently in his sleep.

Then he couldn't bring himself to feel heartache anymore.

But Jun Ye didn't do that. He let go, leaned over and kissed Xu Chi's forehead, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, a contract is more meaningful than a marriage contract."

If you can't love him, you must obey; if you can't give your heart to him, then you must wear the collar around your neck and tighten the chain in your hand.

Either way, as long as we can be together forever.

Xu Chi's dream didn't end. He kept his head down and mixed his cocktail tirelessly, and he didn't realize that Jun Ye was gone, so he was still talking lightly.

But that kind of indifference is obviously to cover up his embarrassment and force it.

He said: "However, there is a person who I care about recently, and you don't even know him... He has indeed done a lot for me, and he is also very good to me. Although sometimes this person is quite hateful, but..."

Xu Chi raised his head, only to realize that he was the only one beside the wine table. He looked around, but Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, "It's weird, where is he?"

……

Speaking of Xu Chi's feelings for Jun Ye, it is impossible to make a specific conclusion. Maybe there was a simple liking and closeness a long time ago, but it was all buried by fear and hatred.When the truth came out, everything came to light, and after the dust settled, that hatred turned into guilt towards Jun Ye—Xu Chi felt ashamed of Jun Ye, and hated himself for giving up the boy eight years ago.

But fear is something that always exists in the bottom of my heart and cannot be erased.He is instinctively wary of powerful men compared to himself, especially when he treats him so well, Xu Chi will always have uncontrollable suspicion: Why is he so kind to me, doesn't he hate me?Is there a trap?

Xu Chi would occasionally be grateful for Jun Ye's care, but it was more of a precaution:

After all, when he was in the orphanage, the man who cast a shadow over Xu Chi's life once said sincerely: Teacher loves you.

So he didn't dare to accept other people's love, but he couldn't help trying to figure out Jun Ye's thoughts.He is like a stray cat that has been wandering for a long time. Although he is always frizzing and growling at everyone who comes close, he is actually eager to move in his heart and wants a warm and safe home.

The only thing that is certain is that Xu Chi is not willing to go with Jun Ye. This is not as simple as traveling abroad, and it can be reached by car or plane. 'Another world' sounds far away and unreal, and maybe never come back, never see Edward and Anna again.

But time cannot be reversed. The day of the return journey is approaching day by day, and then it will be January [-]th.

Xu Chi was lying on the sofa in the living room, holding up his mobile phone, and sliding his fingers through the photo album.There are not many photos of him, and there are even fewer photos with the members of the black box. Even if there are, he rarely shows his face. Basically, he is wearing a mask or a gas mask, or even just a back view.

Because his profession cannot store too much personal information in his mobile phone, if he is caught by the enemy, the photo album in his mobile phone may bring danger to his teammates who show their faces.

There was even only one photo with Edward and Anna. It was during a mission. They had just blasted a smuggling factory, and the distant flames lit up the entire sky.All three of them were wearing black body armor and smoke masks, with only their eyes exposed. They stood on the low rocks, watching the raging flames in the distance.

The accompanying teammates took this photo with an action recorder, and Xu Chi later asked for the photo and kept it in the photo album.

With a flick of his finger, Xu Chi set this group photo as his phone wallpaper.

The doorknob clicked suddenly, the door was opened, and Jun Ye came back from the outside.

While taking off his coat, he looked at Xu Chi, "Come here, baby."

Xu Chi always hated his barking like calling a dog, so he just turned over on the sofa and continued playing with his phone, ignoring him.

Jun Ye frowned slightly, his voice became cold, "Do you want me to repeat it a second time?"

The tone was clearly displeased, and Rocky, who was covering the furniture with a dustproof cloth, paused for a moment, and raised his head in surprise.

He keenly felt that something subtle had changed.Although he believed that it was only natural for servants to obey their master's orders, Xu Chi was obviously an exception. The master never emphasized obedience to him, and when he was disobeyed, he just laughed it off and never criticized him harshly.

But now something is different.

Xu Chi also felt the coldness in the air, he stood up impatiently, and walked in front of Jun Ye, "What are you doing?"

Jun Ye smiled, and his eyes returned to their usual gentleness. He lowered his head and kissed Xu Chi's cheek, rubbed his soft ear with his right hand, and said softly: "When the master comes home, you have to come to greet him." ah."

Xu Chi turned his head to avoid his hand, glanced at the mine next to him, and said unhappily, "I'm not your dog."

"Almost."

Xu Chi was taken aback for a moment, and frowned, "Hey, what do you mean?"

Jun Ye didn't answer him, walked past him almost ignoring, and said to Lingya, "Is everything packed? We're leaving."

Xu Chi chased after him unwillingly, "You haven't answered my question yet!"

"I have already answered."

Jun Ye turned his head and stared at him tenderly and lovingly. His eyes were as affectionate as ever, but it seemed that some tiny places were broken. He said calmly and softly: "You are my puppy, of course, the most favored dog. That one."

Xu Chi's face was full of bewilderment. He also realized from this moment, from Jun Ye's cold eyes, that Jun Ye's attitude towards him had changed.

He wasn't even sure for a moment whether the "puppy" in Jun Ye's mouth was a pet name, or just an insulting joke.

When he was in a daze, Ling Ya had already packed the apartment, Jun Ye came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Let's go."

Xu Chi came back to his senses, "Where are you going?"

"Go to another world."
