Soot, Moonlight, Vodka

The New Year's Eve passed without a sound, and Xia Zhifeng was alone.

The New Year's Eve event in Songcheng is very lively. In the central square, men, women and children watched the countdown on the giant screen in the mall, counting down the last ten seconds.

Xia Zhifeng could hear the distant voice of joy in the apartment.

--"Happy New Year."

He sent Chen Zhuo a text message.

Soon, he received a reply from Chen Zhuo.

--"Happy New Year."

The exact same words are like echoes in the valley.

At this time in previous years, Lu Xingze would hold Chen Zhuo in his arms and enjoy the sea breeze on the yacht, and celebrate with his friends. Under the smell of champagne, loose foam and dazzling lights, Chen Zhuo would say to him, "The time spent with you It's been a really blissful year."

Xia Zhifeng submerged himself in the sofa and quilt.

Before Chen Zhuo met himself, the New Year should have come like this, right?Perhaps it is even more tragic than this. Chen Zhuo's small underground rental house is cramped and crowded, and he can walk to the end of the room in three steps. Now this apartment is at least spacious.

The phone vibrated, Xia Zhifeng immediately took out the phone, it was a happy new year text message from Ji Ming and Fu Meng.

Xia Zhifeng: "What is he doing?"

Fu Meng: "Drunk, resting."

Xia Zhifeng: "Damn, why don't you stop me?"

Fu Meng: "I didn't let him drink too much, and his prescription is not high. Don't worry, I'm better than you."

Xia Zhifeng: "..."

Two days later, Xia Zhifeng received a call from Ji Ming, who said that Meng Han wanted to talk to him.

Meng Han, the most ruthless of Lu Xingze's ex-boyfriends, Xia Zhifeng felt chills when he saw these two words.

Back then when Lu Xingze was young and frivolous, he provoked such a difficult master, fell in love with him for two months and then dumped him ruthlessly. When Lu Xingze and Chen Zhuo were in a strong relationship, they took Lu Xingze into the army, which directly led to the development of their relationship in an irreversible direction.

It can be said that Meng Han is one of the key promoters of the development of the relationship between the two to the present situation.

Meng Han wanted to talk to him about something, but Xia Zhifeng didn't dare not go.

"What did he ask me for? What's the matter?" Xia Zhifeng asked.

Ji Ming: "He didn't say it, it depends on your sincerity."

"time and location."

Ji Ming sent the agreed time and map to Xia Zhifeng.

Even if Chen Zhuo was not in Songcheng, Xia Zhifeng didn't dare to take the risk of asking Ji Ming to take him there, and took a taxi by himself.

After five hours' drive, Xia Zhifeng arrived at a teahouse in Lingcheng.

"Young Master Lu, long time no see." Meng Han sat in the private room in his spare time, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses made him look extraordinary.

Xia Zhifeng sat opposite him, feeling hopeless.

Facing such an old lover, Xia Zhifeng really didn't know how to deal with it, let alone he didn't know why Meng Han called him here.

"Hair color is very trendy, Master Lu has changed his taste?" Meng Han poured himself a cup of white peony, closed his eyes and tasted the warm and light tea fragrance.

"Yeah." Xia Zhifeng was expressionless, his red hair already had black hair, and it needed to be dyed again.

Meng Han chuckled gloatingly: "Seeing that you are so unhappy, I feel relieved."

"..." Xia Zhifeng raised his eyes: "You asked me to come here just to mock me?"

"Hey, come on, young master, have you lost your temper?" Meng Han said with a smile: "I saw the news before, you and Chen are together again, it's really beyond my expectation, you are willing to be your substitute, in this way Come back to him."

"What do you want to do again?"

"Don't be nervous." There was a trace of mockery in Meng Han's eyes behind the lens: "I don't need to do anything anymore, because Chen Zhuo will never accept you at all, you are just a cheap fake. If Chen Zhuo can fall in love with you , he is not Chen Zhuo."

Xia Zhifeng said nothing.

Meng Han took out a folder from his bag and put it in front of Xia Zhifeng.

Xia Zhifeng turned over slightly, his eyes congealed.

Inside this file is the bomb that Meng Han prepared back then, which can blow up the love between Lu Xingze and Chen Zhuo into blood.

Back then, Lu Xingze wanted Chen Zhuo to be his lover, but Chen Zhuo refused. Lu Xingze lied and said that he was terminally ill, and that's how he won Chen Zhuo's heart.

This lie was the key to the beginning of their love, and it continued to play an important role. Lu Xingze always thought that Chen Zhuo's concern and love for him, his fear of losing himself, and his tolerance of his unstable emotions were all because he was dying soon.

On the surface, Lu Xingze is confident and arrogant, but in fact he has low self-esteem to the point where he feels that without this terminal illness, Chen Zhuo would not love him.

As the relationship deepened and stabilized, Lu Xingze couldn't keep pretending to be sick. He planned to find a suitable time to tell Chen Zhuo that his terminal illness was cured, and everyone would be happy.

However, Meng Han shot back. Meng Han collected all the evidence about Lu Xingze's terminal illness, which could prove that Lu Xingze was not ill at all and had been lying to Chen Zhuo.

You, Lu Xingze, don't feel emotionally involved with others, and you hurt others' hearts. Now that you have someone you really like, and you're really moved, can you just forget about the past?

Meng Han wants to tell Lu Xingze that there is no end to it, if you want to have a good relationship, you have to make amends first.Why do you take advantage of it all by yourself?Is there anything good in this world that doesn't cost you?no way.

If this information was really handed over to Chen Zhuo, Lu Xingze couldn't imagine what kind of decision Chen Zhuo would make.

The person he loves, the perfect lover in his mind, is an out-and-out liar. He has lied to him for so long, seeing him frightened, worried, exhausted and looking for a cure everywhere, but refusing to tell him the truth .

This is definitely not the love Chen Zhuo wants.

Lu Xingze didn't know what to do with this information. He could have threatened Meng Han ruthlessly like many other young masters. He definitely has the conditions and strength to do so, but he won't do it because he was the one who apologized to Meng Han first. of.

Lu Xingze didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't afford to gamble, so he took another bad strategy - make the fake come true.

This move directly invalidated the information in Meng Han's hands.

As long as Lu Xingze really "died", no evidence could shake Chen Zhuo's love for him.

Moreover, according to Lu Xingze's estimate, he felt that Chen Zhuo would be able to get over his own death in a short time. After all, he had told Chen Zhuo about his death a few years ago, and Chen Zhuo was mentally prepared.

It turned out that Lu Xingze's estimate had made a huge mistake.

"This is the final copy." Meng Han took a sip of his tea and said, "I've given it to you. It's useless for me to keep it."

"Thank you." Xia Zhifeng lowered his eyes, holding his sin in his hand.

"You're welcome," Meng Han put down his teacup, and looked at Xia Zhifeng with softer eyes: "You are only suitable for a player of Chen Zhuo's rank."

"?"

"Chen Zhuo is about as good as a primary school student when it comes to dating, and you don't give up too much. Decisions made at critical moments can always lead to more troubles in the relationship, terminal illness, fake death, substitute..." Meng Han shook his head: "In dead button Fasten the dead button, it really belongs to you."

"Okay, let's forget about one thing today." Meng Han got up: "I won't tell you more, I'm leaving."

When Meng Han walked to the door, Xia Zhifeng said, "I'm sorry, Meng Han."

Meng Han froze for a moment, his eyes were filled with emotion, he didn't look back, he just waved his hands.
