rumor

At first, Jiang Ruo didn't understand this kind of thing, how to "try" it out.

Later, he was tossed and tossed, his body was either tense or on the verge of collapse.All senses were fully sensitized, and with the traction of the mat and the wind, he moaned unbelievably, and every pore trembled with the ending sound.

In this kind of matter, Xi Yufeng regained control.Whether it was the initial preparations or the later entry into the topic, Jiang Ruo was almost like a doll that was allowed to be manipulated. He occasionally raised objections because his posture was wrong, and his body was flexible and could be adjusted so that both of them were comfortable.

They go from the shower, to the sink, and back to the sofa in the living room.

Fortunately, most of the household items in this house were added by Jiang Ruo after he moved in, including sofa towels and carpets under his feet. Otherwise, he would face all kinds of stains afterwards. .

At the climax of the moon, the two came to the bathroom again.

Jiang Ruo was so tired that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand, Xi Yufeng supported him with one hand, and rubbed his body with the other, like scrubbing.

Jiang Ruo, who felt some kind of reaction, turned his head and glared at the people behind him forcelessly, "You are so energetic?"

Xi Yufeng looked at him calmly, and asked, "Do you believe me now?"

In this battle, Jiang Ruo's disbelief cannot be tolerated.

Xi Yufeng returned to the room after smoking a cigarette on the balcony, Jiang Ruo was lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

As he approached, he could still hear him muttering: "They're all men, why is there such a big gap?"

It was about the gap between Xi Yufeng and him in terms of energy and durability, and why Xi Yufeng could make him die with just two fingers.

Xi Yufeng was very humble about this: "I'm still afraid of hurting you."

Jiang Ruo turned her head to look at him, with a slightly shy and sincere tone: "Although there is no comparison, except for that one time, every time with you...is very comfortable."

It is self-evident which time "that time" is.

Before he had time to regret it, Xi Yufeng's attention was drawn elsewhere.

"No comparison?" he asked, "Don't you have friends with benefits?"

Jiang Ruo took a breath and pulled the quilt violently to cover her face.

It was completely a lie to avoid cheating.

It was rare for Xi Yufeng to be serious, and asked, "Is it Chen Muxin?"

Jiang Ruo replied "No" through the quilt, and then said "No", his voice was muffled but clear enough.

The people outside were silent, thinking that this matter was dealt with, Jiang Ruo quietly poked out one eye.

Then, the quilt was thrown off by the waiter outside, and a possessive kiss fell on the head and face.

In the dark, Xi Yufeng said: "He likes you."

His voice was muffled, an invisible depression.

Jiang Ruo couldn't help laughing: "There are so many people who like me, and I have to respond?"

Xi Yufeng kissed Jiang Ruo again, and in the confined space of only two of them, in a commanding tone, said the words of request: "No."

On the weekend of the next day, Jiang Ruo decided to rest at home.

His way of rest is nothing more than eating and watching movies.

Picking up a song and dance movie, Jiang Ruo sat on the sofa and watched it for a while, twisting her body involuntarily to the beat and melody of the music.

When he lifted his leg, his ankle was restrained. Jiang Ruo looked up and saw that it was Xi Yufeng who was sitting on the other side, holding him with his left hand, which is used to holding cigarettes.

After moving twice, Jiang Ruo looked at him annoyedly: "You don't have to go to work today?"

Xi and Feng didn't answer, their slender fingers crossed the protruding ankle, went up the calf, and reached the knee.

Grab it by the tiger's mouth, and then push it a little harder, it is a very convenient posture.

Jiang Ruo's breathing has long been disordered, and when he was thinking about whether to indulge in obedience or to resist for tomorrow's smooth climb up, the sudden ringing of the mobile phone interrupted.

It's Xi Yufeng's call.The person on the other end did not know what he said, which made Xi Yufeng's gloomy face even colder since he picked up the phone.

While putting down the phone, Xi Yufeng let go of his hands, stood up, and said, "I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

Jiang Ruo asked, "What about the company?"

"No."

"Where are you going then?"

"Hospital."

"The one in the hospital is your... father?"

"Well, someone is making trouble."

Saying that, Xi Yufeng picked up the coat that was thrown on the sofa.

After he put it on, he turned around and found that Jiang Ruo had also stood up and picked up the down jacket that was also thrown aside.

"I'll go with you." Jiang Ruo walked towards the door faster than him, "Don't worry, I won't make trouble. I'll wait for you in the car when we get there."

That being said, when we arrived at the hospital, Shi Mingxu rushed up to explain the situation, Xi Yufeng walked and listened, took the elevator to the single ward on the top floor, and pushed the door straight in.

Inside, the curtains were wide open, and Xi Chengli was sitting in a wheelchair in a hospital gown. He was fatter than when he first entered the hospital, but he looked vain.

Seeing Xi Yufeng, Xi Chengli said angrily, "It's harder to see you, but I heard that your brother is here, so I came here immediately."

Xi Yufeng walked to the table and poured water from the thermos: "Xi Wangchen is out of control, I'm worried that he will bump into you."

"Crash?" Xi Chengli snorted again, "If he doesn't care about it, can he be as ruthless as you, maiming his biological father and putting him under house arrest in the hospital?"

The sound of the water stopped, Xi Yufeng came over holding the water and brought it to Xi Chengli's mouth.

He didn't answer Xi Chengli's question, but said: "So many people come and go here every day, how many of them do you think really care about you?"

"They all want you to die soon."

As if deterred by Xi Yufeng's words, Xi Chengli's lips trembled, almost choking.

It's not that he doesn't know that the weather outside has changed, and it's not that he doesn't know that his fate is in the hands of Xi Yufeng.It's just the habit of living in a high position for a long time, which makes it difficult for him to accept the status quo of being restrained everywhere, and the bleak life that always ends at a glance.

But he is more afraid of death.

When people encounter danger, they can always judge the situation quickly.

Swallowing a sip of ice-cold water, Xi Chengli said, "Your brother...Xi Wangchen didn't want to fight with you for a long time. He just wanted to get back their shares, which is the foundation for their mother and son to live and work."

Xi Yufeng said calmly: "Belongs to them? How do I remember that everything in the Xi family comes from the Qiao family. If it really comes to the point of dividing up the property, what does it have to do with that lady surnamed Xiao?"

Xi Chengli opened his eyes wide to look at Xi Yufeng, as if he didn't expect him to be so heartless.

Understanding what he meant, Xi Yufeng said, "It's you who are heartless, don't you really believe in those so-called karma?"

He straightened up and put the water glass back on the table: "You taught me by yourself that you can do whatever you want to get what you want."

"You just lie here and don't think about it anymore, otherwise I don't mind letting the Xi family change their surname. Anyway, I never care whether my surname is Xi or Qiao."

Outside the ward, Xiao Yin's mother and son, who didn't know where to hide just now, appeared. Seeing Xi Yufeng, Xi Wangchen shrank back, while Xiao Yin stepped forward with her head held high.

"Xi Yufeng, stop...you stop!"

"What are you holding in your hand? Did Xi Chengli give you the house?"

Xi Yufeng didn't intend to pay attention to her at all, and walked around to avoid her.

The indifferent attitude easily aroused Xiao Yin's anger. She stepped forward quickly, reaching out to pull him, but was blocked by a person who suddenly turned from the side aisle.

Jiang Ruo opened her arms and stopped in front of Xiao Yin: "Don't touch him."

Xi Yufeng froze for a moment.He didn't expect Jiang Ruo to appear here.

Later, Xi Yufeng asked Jiang Ruo to wait downstairs first, and pulled Shi Mingxu to stand by. Jiang Ruocai retreated to the stairs hesitantly, poking his head out from time to time to see the situation here.

Said it was a private chat, but actually Xi Yufeng and Xiao Yin had nothing to talk about.

At best, it was a chance for her to repent.

However, who is Xiao Yin? More than 20 years ago, she had no regard for shame, and now she has nowhere to go, so why bother to pretend.

Seeing that the glory and wealth in her hands were gone, and her personal safety was threatened, she brought her son into the hospital today, hoping that Xi Chengli could find a way out for their mother and son.

After confirming that what Xi Yufeng was holding was the real estate transfer agreement, Xiao Yin suddenly woke up.Now, in Xi Yufeng's eyes, their mother and son are like two ants that can be crushed to death with one finger.

Reason told her to do a little squat, and even knelt down to beg for mercy, but she couldn't swallow this breath.

She snorted loudly, "I've got everything I want, so you can have no scruples now, right?"

Xi Yufeng looked at her coldly and didn't speak.

Xiao Yin hated his indifferent look the most, it reminded her of Qiao Jiayue, that high-ranking young lady who always looked at her with her head up and out of the corner of her eyes, as if to say——I am the serious Mrs. Xi, who are you? what?

But what happened to the real wife, didn't she lose to me?

So what if he gave birth to a good son, wouldn't he be blessed to enjoy this wealth?

"No matter how capable you are, wouldn't your mother die before me?" Xiao Yin laughed, and at the most embarrassing moment, said the most proud "achievement" of her life, "She desperately wants Xi Chengli to see her With one glance, Xi Chengli only sees me."

She laughed like crazy, "What Qiao Jiayue can't get in her whole life, I, Xiao Yin, can get it at my fingertips... Based on this alone, she can't compare to me in her life!"

Downstairs, the wild and desperate laughter seemed to still echo in my ears.

I don't know when it started to rain, Xi Yufeng looked up at the dark sky until an umbrella covered his head.

Turning his head, he saw Jiang Ruo reaching out to catch the rain, and then quickly retracted his hand because of the cold.

"The weather was bad when we went out, and it was raining." Jiang Ruo also turned his head, looked at Xi Yufeng, and said briskly, "Fortunately, I brought an umbrella, let's go."

On the way, Xi Yufeng asked Jiang Ruo if he would like to go somewhere with him.

Jiang Ruo glanced at the papers in Xi Yufeng's hands, and asked, "Your home?"

He remembered that Aunt Fang had said that the main house of the Xi family was left by Xi Yufeng's biological mother.

It is self-evident which "home" this "home" is.

Xi Yufeng said "um", and Jiang Ruo said, "Okay, I just want to see the place where you grew up."

The mansion in the south of the city was unoccupied for some time, and when walking along the mountain road, the sound of rain outside the car window seemed desolate.

The room was even more empty, and the windows were clearly cleaned, but Jiang Ruo had the illusion that dust would fly up if he stepped on it.

The first floor is close to the ground, filled with a little damp smell.

When Xi and Feng entered the room, they first opened the window and turned on the lights in the living room. The old-fashioned crystal lamps cast uneven light and shadows on the ground.

Jiang Ruo stood beside him, looking out the window with him at an evergreen tree falling in the rain.

Not long after, Xi Yufeng walked two steps into the room, turned around again, and cast his calm eyes on Jiang Ruo.

Jiang Ruo understood that he was asking him if he wanted to go upstairs together.

The wooden stair handrails are round and smooth, and there is a slight creaking sound when stepped on.

Xi Yufeng's room is at the end of the corridor on the second floor. When you open the door and enter, you can see the chilling white.

All the furniture was covered with dust-proof cloth, and the air was filled with a more rotten smell than downstairs.

But there was almost no smell from Xi Yufeng.Jiang Ruo walked around the room, stopped in front of the desk, and asked, "Have you ever smoked here?"

Xi Yufeng was picking up a book in the bookcase, when he heard the words, he raised his head: "It wasn't possible at that time."

"Did you study abroad?"

"Ah."

"After 19?"

"Ah."

After a pause, Jiang Ruo asked again: "If you don't let me smoke, you don't want me to become like you..."

Although the word was not uttered, both of them knew it well.

Nothing more than loneliness, or loneliness.

Even numb.

Putting down the book in his hand, Xi Yufeng walked to the window, looked out through the glass, but did not open the window.

It seems that he has long been used to a self-enclosed life. Silence and darkness are his normal state.

But now it's different.

He let another person walk in.

Jiang Ruo walked up to Xi Yufeng and pulled his hand hanging by his side: "Let's go out."

Xi Yufeng lowered his eyes, looked at the two clasped hands, and said in a low voice: "There is a storage room in the attic, do you want to—"

"No." Jiang Ruo refused without thinking.

He blinked lightly, and there seemed to be water in the bottom of his eyes, "I will not force you to eat braised pork. I will not let you stay in a place that will bring back bad memories because of curiosity."

Back on the first floor, after sitting on the sofa for a while, Xi Yufeng remembered to ask Jiang Ruo how he knew about the braised pork.

The hand has not been released since it was pulled up, and Jiang Ruo is fiddling with his hand at this moment: "Aunt Fang said that you like to eat braised pork. The first meal I had with you was braised pork on the table. You can eat it with a chopstick. Didn't stretch."

Xi Yufeng stopped talking.

Braised pork is Xi Chengli's favorite food, and he is also very sweet, adding a lot of rock sugar every time.

When I was young, in order to call Xi Chengli home, my family always made this kind of braised pork with double the sugar content.In order not to be criticized by outsiders, Qiao Jiayue used the excuse that "Xiaofeng wants to eat" every time, and even Aunt Fang got confused.

I didn't expect to be discovered by Jiang Ruo.

But this time, Xi Yufeng's focus is still off the mark: "You started paying attention to me so early?"

Jiang Ruo dug a hole for himself to jump in, pressed his fingers hard on Xi Hefeng's palm, scratched and rolled it to show his dissatisfaction.

"It's all about the temptation of beauty, your face is the only one on the table... I have to take a few more glances."

Xi Yufeng laughed.

After closing the house, I planned to go back, but received a call from Aunt Fang before leaving the house.

Aunt Fang heard that they were all in the main house, and hurriedly said that she would be there soon, and asked Jiang Ruo to stay for a meal.

The two returned to the sofa.

Rainy days, the best time for laziness to attack, are suitable for watching movies at home.

There is a TV in the living room, Jiang Ruo turned it on with the remote control, and picked one at random.The crisp birdsong is accompanied by soft background music, and the golden sun climbs up the canopy, illuminating the whole room.

Xi Yufeng raised his eyes and took a look, Pride&Prejudice, Pride and Prejudice.

Almost in the next second, Jiang Ruo explained in a hurry to answer: "Choose it at random, I don't mean to criticize Sang Huai."

It perfectly interprets what it means to be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

While Xi Yufeng laughed, he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

The pursed thin lips opened, Xi Yufeng said: "The past... I'm sorry."

Jiang Ruo froze for a moment.

It is natural to know that "those" refer to preconceived impressions, dismissive speculations, and consequent misjudgments.

but……

"Didn't I say that, those were not your intentions." Looking at the TV screen, Jiang Ruo said, "Besides, I never blamed you."

You grew up like this, now you can open yourself up for me, it's too late for me to feel sorry for you, how can I blame you?

The movie played for half an hour, Jiang Ruo couldn't sit still, so he went to the kitchen to make two cups of tea.

After brewing, I realized that tea polyphenols can cause insomnia, and I withdrew the hand that was passed over, and Xi Yufeng took the time.

"Just drink plain water." Jiang Ruo arranged, "I'll try the tea for you."

After tasting it, he lay down, with his head resting on Xi Yufeng's legs, and found a comfortable position.

Xi Yufeng remembered that Jiang Ruo always said he was like a cat.

Right now, it is clearly Jiang Ruo, more like a cat that is lingering in a warm place and refuses to leave.

The tone was also lazy: "You guys who do business should know how to reciprocate courtesy?"

"of course."

"Then tell me, when did you notice me?"

What I want to ask is actually——when did you realize that you fell in love with me?

Fortunately, Xi Yufeng's comprehension ability is not bad. After pondering for a moment, he replied: "If you ask the exact moment, I can't tell. What is certain is that after you left, I have been regretting it."

Regret is also a kind of endless pain that follows like a shadow.

It reminded Jiang Ruo of a sentence-people use the pain after separation to distinguish the depth of love.

Xi Yufeng said: "At first, I thought that I could survive without you."

He tried forced withdrawal, trying his best to suppress the urge to see Jiang Ruo.He made himself busier, smoking one cigarette after another, but it was useless, as soon as he was free and closed his eyes, Jiang Ruo was everywhere.

Then he overheard the sentence, "I was with him, never for the sake of him", and he made up his mind.

Jiang Ruo was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Are you at Sister Zhou's bachelor party?"

Xi Yufeng said: "At that time, I was resting next door, and there was only one door away from you."

"Then if you weren't there, if you didn't hear it, wouldn't you..."

"No. It may take a little longer, but the same decision will be made in the end."

Xi Yufeng used the bowstring stretched to the limit to describe himself at that time.

"Sooner or later, it will be broken. Your words will make the doomed end come sooner."

"Do you believe in destiny?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but for you, I am willing to believe it once."

Speaking of this, I have to mention the well-known incident of canceling the engagement.

Xi Yufeng downplayed the process, including contacting his grandfather who lives in Los Angeles, forcing Xi Chengli to sign the agreement, and exchanging shares for the understanding of the Meng family, as if everything was logical.

But even if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes and didn't understand the battle in the mall, Jiang Ruo could guess the danger, and if there was a slight mistake, it might be lost forever.

Although Xi Yufeng won the bet in the end, he lost more than shares and money after experiencing the earthquake. Those invisible traumas and blows required countless efforts to repair before he could get back on track.

No wonder he is always so tired.

Unable to lie down now, Jiang Ruo sat up, resting his chin on Xi Yufeng's shoulder, raised his arms, and hugged him slowly.

"Is it worth it?" Jiang Ruo asked, "If you lose the bet, what should you do?"

Xi Yufeng also hugged him back, and said in a deep voice, "As long as you are still willing to accept me, it is not considered a failure."

At this moment, hugs are not enough.

Jiang Ruo knelt in front of Xi Yufeng, pushed him away a little, and impatiently leaned forward to kiss him.

He opened his teeth and claws and kissed fiercely, and he also learned to use his tongue to press against the jaws, even sucking and licking, revealing his most primitive and passionate attachment in an unreasonable way.

Although Xi Yufeng still took the initiative later, he changed positions with his arms around his waist, pressed on the sofa and kissed until his whole body became limp.

After the kiss, Jiang Ruo licked his lower lip satiated, and said, "It doesn't matter if you really lose, I can support you."

He opened the mobile bank and showed Xi Yufeng his income for the past six months: "Sister Zheng said that after winning the award, my value has risen again. It is not a dream to make money every day."

In fact, Xi and Feng will be supported by whomever, even if he loses his job, he can live comfortably with the stock funds in his hand.

I just like the way Jiang Ruo is confident and shining for the results he has achieved. Xi Yufeng said: "With what you say, I won't be afraid."

After a while, Xi Yufeng noticed that Jiang Ruo had turned his back several times, raised his hand and put it down quickly.

Asking him what's wrong, he shook his head and said nothing, Xi Yufeng helplessly stretched out his hand to touch his chin, met a pair of red eyes, and his heart softened instantly.

This is the first time, if Jiang didn't deliberately avoid him, tears could fall openly.

Jiang Ruo tried her best to breathe steadily, even though she was still sobbing: "You called me and said you loved me, I thought...you were dreaming."

"Later, it was confirmed that it was not a dream, so I thought, are you lying to me?"

Including waiting at the door of Xi Yufeng's house, Jiang Ruo was uneasy.Because subconsciously they don't believe that Xi Yufeng will really fall in love with him.

Xi Yufeng immediately said no, Jiang Ruo couldn't help but bend his lips, tears accompanied by a smile, like a rainbow after the rain.

"I know. I want to say that it's not that you can't fly out of my palm, but that the love you told me personally gave me confidence."

Jiang Ruo stared at Xi Yufeng, "What you can give me, I can also give you."

Xi Yufeng was in a trance for a moment.

He couldn't help but think of the figure in front of him in the hospital during the day, and the umbrella above his head.

And what he said to Xi Chengli in the ward during the day.

——So many people come and go here every day, how many of them do you think really care about you?They all want you to die sooner.

Now that I think about it, the same applies to him.

The higher you stand, the more people will take him as a target.

A group of people stared at him intently, planning to pull him off the horse, or trying to plot something from him.

Only the people in front of you are different.Consistent with what he saw, Jiang Ruogi's heart was also clear and clear, the most precious treasure in the dark and dirty world.

He wanted to protect Jiang Ruo, why didn't Jiang Ruo want to protect him?

So it's worth it even if you give everything you have to exchange.

The thumb brushed the corner of the eye, wiping away the still warm water.

Jiang Ruo later realized that he was ashamed and turned his head to hide. Xi Hefeng held his chin in the palm of his hand to keep him from moving. While wiping his tears, he comforted him and said, "You can cry. Didn't you cry when you were laughed at for being short? "

Jiang Ruo gritted his teeth: "That was when I was a child!"

Xi Yufeng laughed, full of connivance.

In fact, Jiang Ruo has always known that under Xi Yufeng's indifferent exterior, there is an extremely gentle interior.

So there is no need to hide, relying on the overflow of tears, you can mention whatever you want.

"Seat and wind."

"Ah."

"Did you forget something?"

"what?

"In my face—"

"I love you."

After a long time, the lips and tongue only retreated an inch after being entangled, and the breath was still entwined inseparably.

Picking up the unfinished topic just now, Jiang Ruo sounded like a mosquito because of lack of oxygen, but he was firm enough: "Me too."

"Xi Yufeng, I love you."
