The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth

The temperature inside the shelter was much higher than the snowy outside. Deng Shentong took off his winter clothing and said, "Didn't you say you were going to leave the Jiangnan District? Tell me what you are going to do next."

He was still dressed exquisitely and elegantly, with the straight fabric outlining his slender and tight figure.

Deng Shentong smiled slightly, casually unbuttoned the collar of his shirt to let in some air, and said, "My Deng family has many connections. If you need anything, just let me know."

Zhang Yi paused holding the cup, his eyes resting on Deng Shentong's wide-open collar, then turned around with a slightly playful smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, you found a new love and started thinking of me?"

Deng Shentong's heart trembled, and the smile on his face faded a little.

Although I know that it is the best outcome for Zhang Yi to let it go, it still hurts to hear him say those joking words in such a nonchalant manner.

But who is Deng Shentong? He smiled as if nothing had happened, and covered up the past well: "You are joking. After all, we know each other. As your captain, isn't it my duty to take care of the team members?"

Zhang Yi's face remained unmoved, but the gloomy look in his eyes betrayed his unhappiness.

He pushed the cup of water in front of Deng Shentong, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a low laugh: "Really? Then I really have to thank you."

"Thank you! You're too polite. You've helped me a lot. It's just a piece of cake." Deng Shentong took the cup and put it aside, nodding and smiling.

"I plan to go to Shengjing District to take a look." Zhang Yi said coldly.

"Shenyang Region?" Deng Shentong was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Yi would choose to go to such a far place. Didn't he always hate traveling far away?

"Yes, since there is no place for me in Jiangnan District, I should go as far away as possible." Zhang Yi sneered, "So as not to offend some people, don't you think?"

The sarcasm in his words was too obvious, and Deng Shentong could no longer pretend not to understand.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "If you called me here to complain, then I'm leaving. I have to prepare for the wedding tomorrow." With that, he stood up and was about to leave.

The expression on Zhang Yi's face changed. He pulled Deng Shentong and put on a gentle and harmless face again: "I was joking, Captain, don't go."

Zhang Yi's expression of trying to keep him looked somewhat pitiful.

Thinking that he would soon be far away from Jiangnan District, Deng Shentong felt a little reluctant, so he could only sit back and said calmly: "If you want to talk about business, please speak quickly, my patience is limited."

Zhang Yi hung his head like a trained dog. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Deng Shentong, saying with a hint of grievance, "Can we only talk about business? I'm leaving soon. Can't I talk to you more?"

Then, he smiled bitterly and said to himself, "Yes, in your eyes, you may still think that I am being unreasonable."

Deng Shentong was a little uncomfortable with Zhang Yi's sudden show of weakness. He reached out and patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't think too much. I just said that in anger. I apologize to you, okay?"

He smiled as gently as possible and said, "You will always be my most reliable partner."

Zhang Yi looked up at him, as if chewing over the word "partner", with a complex expression in his eyes. He suddenly laughed, "Yes, partner."

Then they chatted casually about their future arrangements, as if they had returned to the state before everything had happened, and the atmosphere became relaxed and happy again.

However, they themselves knew better than anyone that there was no going back between them.

Time soon reached evening. Deng Shentong glanced at the clock, tilted his head and smiled, then looked at Zhang Yi and said, "I should go, otherwise Miss Zhu will be worried."

He stood up and casually lifted up his beautiful silver hair that cascaded like a waterfall.

Under the bright light, his smile shone like stars, but the words he spoke were like a sharp blade, shattering the last bit of Zhang Yi's dreamy warmth.

Zhang Yi's eyes flickered for a moment, and he forced a smile. He also stood up and walked to Deng Shentong, saying, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Deng Shentong nodded and said nothing.

When he reached the door, Zhang Yi suddenly stopped. He looked at Deng Shentong, hesitated for a while, then opened his arms and showed a cautious smile.

There was a hint of flattery in his tone, like a child begging for candy from an adult: "...Can I hold you for a while?"

Deng Shentong looked back at him, feeling a little touched. He smiled brightly, his eyes became gentle, and said, "Of course."

He walked over openly, reached out and hugged Zhang Yi tightly, as if it was a very ordinary farewell.

The two warm bodies pressed against each other again, and the cool rose scent that he had been thinking about day and night passed from Deng Shentong's hair into Zhang Yi's nose. He couldn't help but tighten his arms, trying in vain to hold on to something.

Zhang Yi was much taller than him, and the force coming from his waist made Deng Shentong a little breathless. He pushed Zhang Yi and was about to say enough, but he heard Zhang Yi whisper something in his ear.

He didn't hear clearly at first, but after listening carefully, he realized that Zhang Yi was saying don't leave.

Deng Shentong didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. Zhang Yi said in the call that he had let it go, but his various behaviors did not seem to be consistent with letting it go at all.

Deng Shentong certainly hoped that he would let it go, but he knew in his heart how could he possibly let it go.

Zhang Yi can't do it, and neither can he.

The bond between them is too deep, the emotions too complex, to be resolved with a simple "let go".

He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said coldly: "Zhang Yi, I'm leaving."

He felt Zhang Yi's body tremble violently.

Unexpectedly, a cold needle pierced the skin on the back of Deng Shentong's neck, and an unknown liquid was injected into his body along the blood vessels.

This medicine took effect very quickly, and Deng Shentong didn't even have time to react before blurry double images began to appear in front of his eyes.

Zhang Yi suddenly loosened his arms, and Deng Shentong lost his support and fell to the ground weakly.

His body began to feel heavy and his consciousness began to blur, but he still tried hard to stay awake, wanting to remember this moment, remember Zhang Yi's face.

"...Zhang Yi, do you know what you are doing?"

Zhang Yi looked down at him and suddenly laughed almost crazily. He pulled Deng Shentong by the collar and said viciously, "Of course I know! Everything I did was for you!"

All those disguised masks seemed to be shattered in an instant, revealing his sharp fangs.

"For... me?" Deng Shentong smiled contemptuously, but he no longer had the strength to refute.

Before Deng Shentong lost consciousness, he was heard laughing wildly and talking to himself in pain like a mental patient.

“…You want to leave? Hahahaha…”

"No! How can you leave? You are my..."

Zhang Yi looked down at Deng Shentong who had fallen into a coma, stroked his soft silver hair, and a paranoid and crazy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Have a good sleep... and then stay with me, forever..."
