Throne Steps

Zhang Zhen had a strange dream.

In the dream, he had ups and downs, and he was very miserable at one time; the life in the dream was quite exciting, sometimes he had to make suggestions on the surface, and sometimes he had to fight bloody battles behind the scenes.There was another person in the dream, who seemed to have suddenly joined Zhang Zhen's story, and then kept appearing in Zhang Zhen's field of vision.

His death caused Zhang Zhen in the dream to be hit hard again.

The loss of strength was second to none, but when the man left, a piece of Zhang Zhen's heart was also taken away.It seems that all the emotions don't know where to put them, and the chest is empty.

What happened later was actually more ups and downs, but Zhang Zhen seemed to have no interest in paying attention.A guy who looked exactly like that person came to him, but Zhang Zhen refused to help him without any interest; an old thing who persecuted that person back then wanted to touch him, but Zhang Zhen bit back while avoiding it .He seemed to be caught in a kind of self-blame, feeling useless and hating himself for not being able to avenge that person.

This dream was so real that when Zhang Zhen opened his eyes on the bed, he hadn't recovered for a while.

He stared blankly at the void in the dark, and after a few seconds, he raised his hand and wiped his face.

"Fuck..." He cursed in a low voice, his voice hoarse, "Don't be a fucking pedophile...!"

For some hard-to-tell reasons, Zhang Zhen has been avoiding his friends and good brothers who have been working with him for three years recently.

That blond-haired man is not a cheap lamp, and Zhang Zhen feels that his current state can easily reveal his secrets in front of him.If he still brought his sweetheart who wanted to go wherever he wanted, oh well, being seen through would probably be a face-to-face event.

Then what about calling Zhang Zhen? "I dreamed about your son"?If you don't get beaten into the hospital by the opponent, write Zhang Zhen's name upside down!

Yes, in Zhang Zhen's dream, the boy named "Li Chen"—well, even though he is 15 years old now, in Zhang Zhen's eyes, he is just a boy—he played a very important role.

To put it bluntly, he was the one who almost took Zhang Zhen's soul away after his death.

Note that this is when you are talking about a dream!

After Zhang Zhen woke up, he couldn't understand why he was not a pedophile, how could he have such a dream.After much deliberation, it can only be attributed to the fact that Li Chen reminded Zhang Zhen to avoid the catastrophe for three years, which caused Zhang Zhen to keep it in his heart, so he suddenly arranged a role for him when he fabricated the story in his dream.

The problem is that Zhang Zhen feels that the character in his dream... Damn, in order not to be beaten by Saenz, he should not think too much about it.

"Brother Zhen, do you sing?"

"Brother Zhen, do you want to take a bath?"

"Brother Zhen..."

"Get rolling." Zhang Zhen waved away the brothers who came to toast in front of him, wiped his face impatiently, and stood up, "I'll go back first, you guys play."

The brothers looked at him in shock: "It's only eleven o'clock! Brother Zhen, are you dying!"

Zhang Zhen kicked the nonsense kid away, walked through the crowd of all kinds, and saw that he was about to reach the door, a man who seemed to be facing the gentleman, but was strangely wearing a floral shirt and a casual suit followed him: "Brother Zhen, Saenz I invite you to dinner tomorrow night."

Zhang Zhen was annoyed: "No."

Flower Shirt threw Zhang Zhen's forgotten coat to him: "He said that if you don't go, you won't have the business that was agreed two months ago."

"...fuck." Zhang Zhen cursed secretly, "Okay, I'll go."

"Brother Zhen, what's going on with you recently, can you let the brothers know what's going on?" Flower Shirt asked, "What did you do secretly to hurt Saenz? You're so frightened of him, even if you meet him face-to-face Don't you dare?"

"Bah, why am I sorry for him?" Zhang Zhen replied, "Do you think I look like someone who does that kind of thing?"

The flowered shirt looked up and down a few times: "Yes. You seem to have robbed his wife these days, and you feel guilty when you hear his name."

Fuck, this is straight up!

Zhang Zhen was stunned for a second, and the flowered shirt said with a strange expression: "No, brother Zhen. I won't talk too much about you stealing other people's wives. Why are you so fond of him?! This... I won't say anything brother It’s a matter of friendship, you are also a pedophile?!”

"Fuck, shut your stinky mouth." Zhang Zhen yelled lightly, "Who is a pedophile! You think everyone is like Saenz, find a child bride."

The way Saenz looked at Li Chen, he didn't hide it from them.Zhang Zhen saw it for real, and once used "Saenz's pedophilia" as a joke behind his back.Now that this hat is going to be put on his head, Zhang Zhen is absolutely not happy.

"It's fine if you don't." The floral shirt said coolly, "I didn't hit you, Saenz protected that bastard more than his eyeballs. If he can treat such a weak chicken as his treasure, he must be able to protect him." The cub's reliance. And that kid has a special status now, so it's really not a good match, even though he's already fifteen years old this year..."

"I know, I know, I want you to talk nonsense." Zhang Zhenchao slapped the back of his hands, "Get out, I'm leaving."

Saying goodbye to the floral shirt, Zhang Zhen finally walked out of the bar.

The piercing north wind was blowing outside, and Zhang Zhen was sobered up at once.He shook his head, put on his coat, and then took out a cigarette, and asked the security guard at the entrance of the bar to borrow a light.

...It's really hard to light a cigarette in the whistling north wind.

Zhang Zhen finally smoked, and slowly walked out along the street with a cigarette in his mouth.In fact, he didn't necessarily want to go home, but the bar was very dry, and he wanted to come out to refresh his mind and calm down.

Tsk tsk, don't bring Saenz to dinner tomorrow...huh?

Zhang Zhen felt that he saw a familiar figure from behind, and his body strode forward faster than he realized, and grabbed the other person's shoulders: "Why are you here? What about him? Is this a place where you can come alone..."

The boy turned his head and looked at him in a daze.

Zhang Zhen was also stunned for a second, then let go of his hand: "Sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

He can't be blamed for admitting his mistake, this young man looks too much like Li Chen.Not only the back view is very similar, but the face is still very similar when turned to the front!This eyebrow, this body shape, if it is a photo, it is impossible to tell who is who!

However, their demeanors were different, so Zhang Zhen soon realized that he had made a mistake.

"It's okay." The boy replied first, then paused, and asked, "Do you know anyone who looks like me?"

"The back is very similar, but the face is not." Zhang Zhen subconsciously fooled, "I also want to talk about why he came here as a middle school student, and he is not afraid that he will miss class tomorrow..."

"Oh..." The boy responded, and asked again, "I want to go to XX Road, is it near here?"

Zhang Zhen showed him the way, and then said, "Don't run around alone in such a small place", and left with a cigarette in his mouth.

He is not a good person, don't expect him to be kind enough to bring people to that place.

What Zhang Zhen didn't expect was that when the boy arrived at that street, a black car stopped in front of him not long after.

The car window came down slowly, and the blond man wearing a mask said lightly, "Get in the car."

Sensing the unhappiness in the man's words, the boy obediently got into the back seat.The car started, but the man stopped talking to him, and the dull atmosphere in the car almost suffocated the boy.

But he dared not complain.He was the one who troubled the man to come out to pick him up at such a late hour, and the man was indeed entitled and had reason to be unhappy.

After holding back for a while, the boy couldn't help but ask the thing that made him most uneasy: "Teacher... can you stop telling others where I went?"

The man's eyes glanced casually over the rearview mirror, and the boy's spine shivered.

The young man couldn't help but explained softly: "I'm just afraid that my uncle will worry about me, and that... Anyway, teacher, just say I went to the opera, okay?"

A man's voice came coldly: "Where's the ticket?"

The boy choked.After a few seconds, the young man said: "They don't know how to check in such a detailed way, they don't care about me... Teacher, please help me."

Can't check it so carefully?The man almost sneered.Not to mention a small ticket, the man even felt that it was not surprising that this young man was being watched secretly. How could he be so stupid and sweet that he could hide it from him and go out for a stroll tonight?

In the final analysis, his movements have long been controlled, but the person in control is too lazy to care.

Men will not expose this matter, nor will they help the boy.

Yes, he can help, but he doesn't want to.

The car drove to the door of a three-story single-family villa and stopped.A man came out of the villa. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of a teenager, with a gentle face and a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Su Can!" He first grabbed the young man who had just got out of the car, and then turned to Saenz, "Thank you, Mr. Saenz. I don't know where you brought him back. It's really a big night. Worried about dead people."

The boy yelled guiltyly: "Uncle." Then he quietly looked at Saenz with expectation in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, the young master won't let me speak. Mr. Su can ask him directly." Saenz said lightly, "I'm going first."

The man threw the mess back at the teenager and restarted the sedan.

On the way, he received a call.

"...Yes, I received it." He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but there was no change in his voice, "On XX Street."

Saenz returned to his apartment, and when he opened the door, Li Chen was playing games in his pajamas.The lights in the living room were not turned on, the blood that had been hacked in the game was splashed on the screen, and the ugly roar of the monster echoed in the house.

Saenz, who has to pay attention to conditions: "..."

Li Chen took a moment to glance at him: "Yo, you're back? I peeled the orange, washed my hands and ate it."

"Su Can was so scared that she almost peed her pants because she sneaked into the bar street once." Saenz took off the mask and put it on the table, and then washed his hands as he said, "I should have brought it to Xinlik by the way. You poke a basket."

"Hey, teacher, I stay at home honestly." Li Chen pressed the pause button, got up and followed the man, stuffed an orange into his mouth when he turned around and hugged his waist, "And stay here Teacher, your home, huh? I reported it to Xinlik."

"I reported you, no, I brought you back." Saenz bit the orange, lowered his body a little and clasped the boy's back, picked him up and brought him back to the living room.

Then, Li Chen sat in the man's arms, playing games with his back against the human cushion.

Li Chen scolded while playing games, and he didn't forget to ask the man: "I said, is it okay for us to do this? Xinrik is a camera madman, and he is more aggressive in marking people than Necromancer Higgins."

"Don't worry, it's okay, he can't secretly send someone to install that kind of thing." The man put his arms around the boy's waist with one hand, and leisurely ate the orange peeled by the boy with the other, "Although my strength is made up of this world Suppresses a lot, but at least locking the door is fine... as long as they don't try it with nukes."

"Tsk tsk, how can you still act good when you get a cheap price?" Li Chen curled his lips and said, "It's not bad if you still have use, it's better than me!"

"Haven't necromancers studied it? Power follows the body. You are using the original body, so of course it doesn't have power." Saenz smiled lowly, "But it's not bad, a little one."

"Hey, your hand! I'm underage!" Li Chen moved, but didn't really dodge, anyway, Saenz wouldn't really do anything, "Are you asking Zhang Zhen to have dinner tomorrow? I'm going too .He has been avoiding you recently, which is a bit strange."

"Of order, my 'His Royal Highness'." Saenz finished eating the orange, resting his chin on the boy's shoulder, "but you can't look at him too much, understand?"

"I see..." Li Chen raised his hand to touch Saenz's blond hair, and messed it up a little bit.

Saenz circled the boy with his left hand, and held the vacant space of the handle with his right hand, and played the game tacitly with the boy.
