bite

Seeing that the person in the video did not answer for a long time, Lin Yuanye raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Yang Jinnian suddenly come back to his senses, and shook his head with a dull expression, "It's nothing."

Lin Yuanye stared at his face carefully, and narrowed his eyes suspiciously when he heard this, "Really?"

Facing his appreciative eyes, Yang Jinnian was soaked in feelings of guilt and shock, and beads of sweat almost came out of Yang Jinnian's forehead.But no matter how you say it, they are also people who have graduated and worked for several years.

Realizing that he couldn't lose the chain at the critical moment, otherwise it would probably not only be Cheng Liao, but also himself who was implicated by Cheng Liao, Yang Jinnian quickly regained his composure.

"I just think," Yang Jinnian added with a mixed tone as he quickly glanced at the man sitting next to him, "Your friend is quite handsome."

Lin Yuanye raised the corners of his lips in a happy mood, and he naturally didn't pursue it any further. The other party didn't respond to Cheng Liao's episode just now.

He raised his head and drank the water in the glass, and passed the glass to Cheng Liao who was next to him. When the man got up and left with the empty water glass, he looked at Yang Jinnian on the phone and asked: "Your college classmate who is going back to China, has there been any news recently?" Any news?"

The hand raised by the other party to wipe his forehead suddenly froze, and he staggered his gaze indiscriminately, and asked in a slightly perfunctory tone: "What college classmate?"

Lin Yuanye couldn't help but clicked his tongue softly, "The one who pays you every month." He asked casually and smoothly, "Has he set a time for returning to China?"

Yang Jinnian looked at him with an indescribable expression and said nothing.

Lin Yuanye paused for a while, "Can't you tell me?"

The latter hesitated to speak for a moment, feeling deeply that it would be difficult to be a human being among them, and finally sighed in despair: "Why don't I give you the contact information, and you can ask him yourself?"

Lin Yuanye shook his head and vetoed without thinking, "No need, just let me know if you have any news."

Yang Jinnian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.Even though he said that, he didn't dare to give Lin Yuanye Cheng Liao's contact information.But after Cheng Liao returned to China, he must have changed his domestic number.Right now, if he wants to contact Cheng Liao in China, he will probably have to turn to Lin Yuanye instead.

Thinking of this, Yang Jinnian couldn't help feeling a little sad when he lowered his head to look at the thick document in front of him.In the end, he hung up the video with an angry expression, and continued to immerse himself in his overtime work.

Not knowing what was going on in his mind at all, Lin Yuanye only felt puzzled and inexplicable.After the two of them packed up, they were ready to go back to their room to sleep.

The other party had to get up early to go to work the next day, and the two of them didn't do anything before going to bed, they just sat on the bed and chatted for a while.After Cheng Liao went to take a shower, Lin Yuanye took their clothes to the washing machine.

Because of the video with Yang Jinnian, he had already forgotten about his clothes.In the end it was Cheng Liao who remembered it first, got up and turned on the light to hang clothes on the balcony.

When the other party was standing outside the door to dry clothes, Lin Yuanye sat cross-legged at the end of the bed, raised his face to look at him outside the door, and took the initiative to throw out the topic lead: "My cousin and I have been very close since we were young. good."

Cheng Liao turned his face and hummed lightly, but it seemed that he had no intention of following his words and asking questions.

The other party's reaction was within his expectations. Lin Yuanye raised his hand to support his chin, still staring at his movements intently.His thoughts on the construction site during the day are simple, he needs to know more about Cheng Liao.Before that, even if the man seemed indifferent, he would try every means to let Cheng Liao understand him.

The existence of Yang Jinnian is an important entry point in this matter.

"Although I am the only child in my family, there are many cousins ​​and sisters among my relatives. What about you?" Lin Yuanye asked him the question logically, "Do you have younger brothers and sisters?"

"No." Cheng Liao closed the door and came in after drying the clothes, and added after thinking, "But there is a cousin."

Lin Yuanye couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and after a while he asked tentatively, "Isn't your hometown in the countryside?"

Cheng Liao stopped by the bed, his eyes lowered to the sky to meet his gaze, and then replied without changing expression: "No."

The surprise in Lin Yuanye's eyes became more and more obvious, "Then—"

The man in front of him spoke at the same time as him: "You—"

The two of them stopped talking at the same time, and put away the surprise in their eyes, Lin Yuanye smiled softly, "You go first."

Since Cheng Liao's hometown is not in the countryside, the other party's motivation to work in a small town becomes more and more unreasonable in Lin Yuanye's mind.He originally wanted to ask this matter smoothly, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Cheng Liao.

He simply gave the other party the opportunity to speak first.

Cheng Liao asked about his chat with Yang Jinnian: "Who are you asking your cousin about?"

Obviously surprised that he was interested in this, Lin Yuanye subconsciously paused for a second, and then told the other party truthfully: "My cousin's college classmate."

"Do you know the exact time when he will return to China?" Cheng Liao asked.

Lin Yuanye nodded, but did not deny his words aloud.

"Your cousin doesn't seem to know too much." The man concluded lightly.

"They have a good relationship." Lin Yuanye added slowly.

"Wouldn't it be faster to ask me directly?" Cheng Liao glanced at him calmly.

Lin Yuanye didn't answer, but after listening to the other party's words, something strange and strange appeared in his heart.He raised his head again to look at the man, but he couldn't see through the faint emotion in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" The strange intuition in his heart made him ask such words.

"It's not interesting." Looking away from his face as usual, Cheng Liao bent down and sat down next to him, "Didn't your cousin want to give you your own contact information?"

Lin Yuanye blinked blankly, realizing that the other party seemed to just want to say this, and the subtlety and strangeness in his heart dissipated in an instant.He quickly relaxed, waved his hands casually and said, "This one."

He wanted to find a random reason to prevaricate, but the reason was still not fully formed, and he heard Cheng Liao add in a low tone and slowly, without giving him any chance to think and polish: "Why don't you?"

Lin Yuanye opened his mouth unreasonably, but did not make any sound.

Two seconds later, when he realized the passage of time in the silence, he came back to his senses in a hurry, but his interest in chatting obviously dropped, "It's just asking for others, I don't want to spend too much time on this matter."

Cheng Liao didn't say anything more, but changed the subject in his usual tone and asked, "Do you want to sleep?"

"Go to sleep." Lin Yuanye answered him, got up from the end of the bed, moved to the middle of the big bed and lay down.

In the next second, the man reached out and pressed the switch on the wall beside the bed, and the room was plunged into darkness instantly.Realizing that Cheng Liao fell asleep behind him, with his strong arms embracing his waist, Lin Yuanye naturally turned around and stretched out his hands to hug his arms.

With the sound of the man's gentle breathing so close to his ear, what Lin Yuanye was thinking about was the incident just now.

Not accepting Yang Jinnian's proposal was actually not all the reasons he said.It is more likely because similar unpleasant things have happened before.Or to be more precise, it was something that made Yang Jinnian's college classmates unhappy.

After falling asleep that night, as expected, Lin Yuanye dreamed about the unpleasant event back then.

That was probably the second time he met a man during his college days.The opportunity to meet Jiang Chi was Jiang Chi's birthday. At that time, Jiang Chi returned to China on vacation. On the night of the other party's birthday, Lin Yuanye was called to hang out in a bar in the city.

The 20-year-old Lin Yuanye can't drink as well as the 24-year-old Lin Yuanye.After a few rounds of truth or dare, he was quickly drunk in a box at a bar.

Although the person is not yet drunk enough to be completely unconscious, his subsequent actions are all dominated by the brain soaked in alcohol.In the next round of the game, Lin Yuanye could no longer escape options other than drinking.

Among the options of truth or dare, he finally chose dare.

A few minutes later, under the urging and instigation of Jiang Chi and others, Lin Yuanye pushed open the door of the next box unsteadily——

It was a box full of adult smells.

In the box were men in suits and leather shoes, and beautiful women in sexy clothes.A beautiful woman is sitting in the arms of a man, and most of the young men's hands have been inserted into the woman's clothes.

The alcohol exuding the smell of corruption and intoxication rolled and surged in the confined space, and every strange face in the box was shrouded in the dark light of lust and ambiguity.

Lin Yuanye's eyes fell on the dimly lit box, and he couldn't wait to get out without even looking around carefully.Among the big adventure options he drew, he needed strangers to cooperate with him.And in this box, there was obviously no one he could find.

The fingertips that were released from the doorknob were silently held back, and the little reason left in his mind told him that he should close the door and leave now.However, during the second he stepped back, his peripheral vision caught sight of the man wearing a peaked cap sitting by the door.

Lin Yuanye didn't see his face, and in the dim pink light, he couldn't even see the curve of his chin clearly.But he could still feel that the other party was different from other people in the box, no woman was sitting in his arms, and his hands didn't stay in other people's clothes.

He even wore a nice peaked cap.

Paralyzed and driven by the alcohol in his brain, Lin Yuanye staggered towards the other party.Filtering out all the gazes from all around, he squatted down in front of the man, stretched out his hand to support the edge of the sofa, hung his head and said vaguely and with difficulty: "Your phone number."

After a moment of silence, the man asked in a cold but pleasant voice, "What?"

Lin Yuanye didn't look up, his obviously stagnant thoughts were running slowly in his mind, "Can you give it to me? Your phone number."

Without immediately answering yes or no, the man asked in a low tone, "Why?"

Meeting again after a few months, Lin Yuanye didn't realize that the man's voice was very familiar.He racked his brains to find a suitable reason, but in the end, somehow, he revealed the truth verbatim: "We are playing a game of truth or dare."

He swore to the man that he just asked for a phone number, and he would never call him afterwards to harass him.

After listening to his assurance, the man gave him his phone number.Lin Yuanye frantically took out his mobile phone to record, and did not ask the other party to verify the authenticity of the number. After thanking the man in a low voice, he leaned on the sofa and got up to leave.

The moment he stood up from in front of him, Lin Yuanye's gaze flickered in the light, and he caught a glimpse of the peaked cap worn by the other party, which did not have any logo pattern of the Italian team.

He left the box with his phone number. During the short period of time, he probably thought he knew the man in the peaked cap. No one in the box blamed him for the sudden intrusion.

Affected by his memory after drinking, the dream began to become intermittent and unclear from the moment he exited the box.In the middle, there was even a gap in a large section of the picture. Lin Yuanye returned to their box in his dream, and was given a lot of alcohol by those friends.

And until he left the bar, the only thing he could think of in his dream was the last unpleasant thing for the man.Mingming personally assured the other party that he would never call him.But when he was so drunk that his thoughts were muddled, he still dialed the other party's phone number at the request of several friends.

To everyone's surprise, the number the man reported to him turned out to be true.With strong drunkenness, Lin Yuanye greeted him with a smile on the other end of the phone. The person on the other end of the phone seemed to recognize his voice, and hung up the phone in a very cold and distant manner without replying a word. .

Along with the continuous lingering of the busy tone of the phone in his ears, the dream mixed with drunken memories came to an abrupt end, and Lin Yuanye's sleeping consciousness slowly woke up in the middle of the night.Noticing the faint light falling on his eyelids, he opened his eyes with a little effort in the heavy drowsiness——

In the dim and hazy field of vision, he saw Cheng Liao standing outside the door of the room in the faint moonlight, holding a mobile phone and calling someone.
