Fire to the Abyss

Lu Yuan leaned on the bed bored, the hottest funny show was playing on the TV, but it didn't arouse his interest at all, he just calmly stared at the big round clock above the TV, his eyes following the second hand.

This half of his life can basically be divided into two periods, the first and last, with the encounter with Xia Yan as the time node.

The first half of my life seemed to have been tossed and baked under the sun, leaving no shadow behind.Like all young masters from rich families, his material life has been guaranteed to the greatest extent. Even in the days when he and his mother ran away from home, Bai Zhi also guaranteed his quality of life to the greatest extent.

He has been close to his mother since he was a child, and he has also learned a little bit of the noble temperament that is unique to a lady from a famous family in Bai Zhi. In addition, his intelligence level is slightly higher than the average.Lu Ming, who was born in a poor family, was afraid that his son would be looked down upon, so he often arranged for a driver to drive him to school in the most conspicuous car in the family, and he was always the most ostentatious one in various tripartite exchange meetings, just adding fuel to the fire After a while, the kid Lu Yuan had no friends at all, and the teacher was polite to him—although the reasons were different, as far as the results were concerned, Lu Yuan's childhood was similar to Xia Yan's.

This way of growing up has successfully made Lu Yuan grow into a arrogant and arrogant brat.Of course, he never cared whether he had friends or not. He never tried to figure out what was hidden under the kind surface of people. He had a strong and rich inner world and the most gentle mother in the world. Things are lumped into the category of not worth mentioning.

Therefore, when he was being bullied by the people his future stepmother brought in, he didn't ask anyone for help. He looked down on those people from the bottom of his heart, and didn't want his mother to worry about their bug-like behavior.

Only one day, a reckless young man crashed into his world unexpectedly.At that time, he never imagined that the boy's sincere smile would become the only consolation in his life of walking alone in the darkness for the next three years.

After Xia Yan's unilateral stalking, Lu Yuan's attitude towards him has changed from suspicion, disdain, to equal treatment, to gradual trust, and even a little appreciation and admiration. There seems to be an eternal fire in those eyes, shining scorching heat, once a pair of eyes is met, people will not be able to move their eyes away.

Later, the gentle and beautiful mother passed away, and all the colorful memories turned into black and white.The strong heart defense that the boy had cultivated for more than ten years was broken in an instant, the world above his head collapsed, and a large piece of ruins fell on him, making him breathless.Of course, the new Mrs. Lu did not give him a chance to breathe. Instead, she tried every means to add weight to his immature shoulders. She was like Cinderella's black-hearted stepmother, who made endless unreasonable demands every day, looking at him Always spitting poison.As for Lu Ming who was caught in the middle, considering that the woman was pregnant with his flesh and blood, she just blindly persuaded the eldest son to obey, and this situation did not change after the younger brother was born.

It's not that Lu Ming doesn't care about the eldest son at all. He occasionally sneaks into Lu Yuan's room after the mother and son fall asleep, chats with him, says a few soft words, and finally rubs the back of his head with his palm lightly, telling him to Go to bed early - stroking the back of the head before going to bed is a common movement between father and son. When he was a child, Lu Yuan liked this very safe movement. Occasionally, he would put his little head on the palm of that person like a kitten , but since Bai Zhi passed away, the meaning of this action suddenly changed. He always felt that Lu Ming had the unpleasant smell of the woman's perfume on his hands, which made him so sick that he couldn't sleep all night.

From then on, Lu Yuan deeply realized that he could do nothing without his mother. He could only be a submissive "paper young master" in this cold villa. live to decay.

In order to be able to do what he wants to do, he must first change himself and polish off all the edges and corners that are not conducive to his progress. Therefore, he learned the businessman's tact from Lu Ming, and learned it from that woman. Two sides and three swords.But what exactly do you want to do?In other words, what is your dream?

In his life before this, he had never considered this kind of problem. The material things he wanted could be easily satisfied. The strong desire expressed by the word "want" was beyond his comprehension. He had never been obsessed with anything. People or things—that's why I was attracted by Xia Yan's firm and persistent attitude towards dreams. His eyes were full of expectations for the future, and the twinkling lights in his eyes seemed to condense all the beauty in the world.

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the bright smile of the boy in the narrow alley, Xia Yan said: "I will also be a policeman in the future."

He thought, if not, I'll be a policeman too.

Obviously, human character is not a plastic material, it can be flattened and rounded at will, and the process of reshaping is bound to be accompanied by pain like cutting flesh and bone, especially when the template for shaping is someone you hate so much Down.Every day, Lu Yuan hated himself more than the day before, and sometimes he would even look at himself in the mirror and vomit until he collapsed. Finally, he became what he hated, and used this face to win the qualification for independence.

It's just that the lofty and indifferent Lu Yuan back then couldn't be found. When they met again, facing Xia Yan's question "Why have you changed so much", Lu Yuan could even lightly say "People have to grow up", Come to overshadow my soul-stirring three years.

After a short period of adaptation, Xia Yan naturally got close to Lu Yuan again. Lu Yuan found that Xia Yan was more clingy than he imagined.When Xia Yan was a child, Xia Yan was clingy to him, and he was more or less curious about him, as well as worried about him. Lu Yuan naively thought that being clingy was an attribute that would disappear naturally after adulthood, but he found that Xia Yan seemed to be younger than when he was a child. To stick to him, the two are almost inseparable.

At that time, Lu Yuan's definition of Xia Yan was just a friend who was a little closer than ordinary friends. He really found the opportunity that this pure friendship began to deteriorate, and it was that damn watching the sea——

As a famous coastal city, Chengzhou has dozens of kilometers of beautiful coastlines and large and small natural fishing grounds. 90.00% of the city's citizens have been to the seaside. Unfortunately, Xia Yan happened to be Belonging to the one percent who have never seen the sea.

Of course, I can’t blame him for this. It’s pretty good that he can keep up his studies while raising his worrying younger brother, and at the same time take "martial arts class" with his father. The schedule is accurate to the minute, and he doesn’t have time to watch it Hai; I can’t blame Xia Zhao’an either. It’s great that he’s been able to keep up his career while raising his two sons, and give them “martial arts classes” from time to time. Take them to see the sea?

Xia Yan didn't take it seriously that he hadn't seen the sea. After all, this family of three who lacked romantic cells belonged to the one percent. Everyone has done it but he has never done it. As long as he is accompanied by his kind, he can It doesn't feel particularly lonely -- that's the way it is.

Until one day, Xia Yan came home and found that Xia Lin was tanned, so he asked casually what was going on, Xia Lin said that it was at the beach during the summer vacation, when his father came back, he casually replied, "Speaking of which, I am young. When I was young, I would often bask in the sun by the sea, and at that time I thought it would be more handsome to be tanned." At this time, Xia Yan found out that he had been betrayed, and it turned out that the people surnamed Xia did not have his allies.

So Xia Yan called someone surnamed Lu to seek comfort, and the answer he got was: "Of course I have been there. Our family has a sea view house in Beibin District, and I will stay there for a while every summer."

Just like that, Xia Yan found out that the whole world has seen the sea except himself, and that hateful rich man calmly gave him a knife.

That night, Xia Yan announced to the whole family that he would take a romantic seaside trip and look at the sparkling sea under the night sky in the [-]-square-meter luxury sea view villa - of course, when he said this And without the consent of the owner of the "luxury sea view villa".Although Xia Zhaoan and Xia Lin said "childish" with complicated eyes at the same time, Xia Zhaoan still gave him the car keys.

Xia Yan thought that he couldn't use other people's house for free. Considering his financial strength, Xia Yan decided to repay Lu Yuan with an unforgettable wonderful trip. Then Lu Yuan saw him downstairs with a dog in his mouth. Rose, Xia Yan, who is quite flamboyantly dressed.

"Downstairs within 5 minutes, there is a surprise—" Lu Yuan repeated the message Xia Yan sent him just now with a blank face, "So, where is the surprise? So far, I have only seen the 'surprise' part .”

Xia Yan leaned on the front hood with one leg propped up. His posture was quite male model, except that his upper body was a pink shirt, his lower body was a pair of colorful beach shorts, and on his feet were pink flip-flops that matched the shirt...

Lu Yuan hadn't seen such a coquettish match for some years, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.Xia Yan straightened his body, took the rose from his mouth, and, like an English gentleman in a movie, stepped forward with one leg, squatted down slightly, and circled the rose in the air half a circle, to the unfriendly expression "Lu Meiren" presented, showing a self-confidently charming smile, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "The 'happy' part is still to come, I will bring you an unforgettable romantic seaside trip, so stay tuned .”

Lu Yuan: "..."

In a sense, this trip to the seaside really made him unforgettable forever.

Lu Yuan had never used such an exaggerated move, let alone thought that someone would use it on him.Lu Yuan took the disgusting rose with a gloomy face, and it took only one-tenth of a second to see through Xia Yan's intentions, and added a vicious comment: "It's because I have never seen the sea, so I don't like it. Is it balanced? Xia Yan, are you three years old?"

Xia Yan immediately gave him a murderous smile back: "Get in the car."

Influenced by various Chinese and foreign police movies for many years, Xia Yan awakened to fly a plane when he got his driver's license that year. No, the skill of flying a car can expand all kinds of motorways with good road conditions into runways.But this time was different. He was driving at a constant speed of [-] yards on a vast national road suitable for drag racing. There was a fragrance in the car that matched the fragrance of Lu Yuan's body very well. The melodious piano music - Lu Yuan's taste in music is surprisingly conservative - it can be seen that in order to make Mr. Lu happy, Xia Yan put in a little effort in addition to making a showy appearance.

The design of the old-fashioned car seats did not adapt to the body lines, Lu Yuan felt his waist numb after sitting for a while, he adjusted his posture, leaned against the car door, and reflected on why he always indulged Xia Yan so much.Lu Yuan raised his eyelids to look at Xia Yan, the profile of his side face appeared extremely soft in the not so dense night, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were illuminated by an unknown light, like two Polish fine obsidian.The glass of the driver's seat has been lowered by half, and through the window, you can see the stars on the night not far away.Lu Yuan's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't find a single punctuation mark. He suddenly felt that the scene was indescribably moving.

That was the first Xia Yan he painted.
