After Dawn (Bing Kuai'er)

Under the fuel of the eloquent Jiang Liushen, three days later, Li Luo got his wish and flew back to China with Duan Mingyang, and stuck to him all the way, and lived in his house.

"Only for a week?" Duan Mingyang put down his backpack, "I thought you would pester me all summer vacation."

Li Luo was squatting on the ground, moving all the things in his suitcase out, and placed them in every corner of this small house of less than [-] square meters. I."

"Don't you just like to confront your father? Why are you suddenly afraid of him?"

"Who said I'm afraid of him?" Li Luo raised his neck and shouted angrily, then lowered his voice and muttered, "I'm not afraid that he will trouble you..."

Strange to say, when he didn't trust Duan Mingyang before, he dared to say any bold and nasty things, but now that he really likes him, he shrinks back.

It can't go on like this, people haven't caught up yet, you're ashamed, you have to learn from the shameless Jiang Liushen, and you can only have stories if you take the initiative.

So Li Luo raised his voice and added: "He doesn't agree with me being with you, but it's not up to him to control who I like. If he troubles you, just tell me, and I will definitely protect you!"

Duan Mingyang paused to pack his luggage, it took only half a second, and he continued to look through his backpack with his head down.

"I didn't promise to be with you."

Undaunted, Li Luo asked, "Then when will you agree?"

"Why do I have to agree?"

"Why don't you agree? Don't you like men?"

"I can't say whether I like it or not. I don't care whether the person I like is a man or a woman."

"That's all right!" Li Luo ran to him and squatted down, looking up at him with a smile on his face, "Is there anyone you know who is more beautiful and obedient than me?"

Duan Mingyang raised his eyebrows: "Are you obedient?"

"Of course!" Li Luo took his hand, put it on his cheek, and said softly, "Brother is very obedient, he only listens to you."

Duan Mingyang quickly withdrew his hand like lightning.

"You're not much older than me."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Li Luo felt that he must be dominated by his love brain, he said and acted like a nympho fool, but he couldn't control himself not to be like this.

After packing his luggage, Duan Mingyang planned to go to the hospital first, but Li Luo waited for a long time before convincing him to take him with him.

On the way, I learned that Duan Mingyang's mother became ill because of raising him alone in the early years and was overworked. Since then, her physical condition has not been very good. She couldn't hold on for the first two years, so she quit her job and rested at home.

With no income in the family, Duan Mingyang managed to finish high school with a small amount of savings. He originally planned to work part-time in college to support the family, but at that time, his long-lost biological father suddenly came to the door and said that he would send him off. Go abroad to study, train him to be a subordinate, and give him part of the family property in the future.

Of course, Duan Mingyang dismissed it, but his mother didn't want him to work so hard, and persuaded him earnestly: "He should support you, he owes you all these years, why don't you? Isn't this taking advantage of him? Wait When you graduate in the future and have a diploma, you can do whatever you want, even if you don’t want to work with him, can he force you to do it?”

Unable to bear his mother's constant persuasion, and in order to prevent his mother's condition from getting worse due to her mood, Duan Mingyang had no choice but to temporarily obey his father's arrangement.

"But I won't work under him." Duan Mingyang said firmly.

Li Luo: "Why? You really deserve his property. It's not too late to leave after you divide the property."

"Things are not that simple. I refuse to go back now. His son has already set his sights on me, and he will go abroad to teach me a lesson. If I really go back, my mother and I don't know what we will face."

"This is also..."

Li Luo secretly thought, to investigate Duan Mingyang's father's background another day, if he is just an ordinary small boss, then it would not be difficult to teach his vicious elder son a lesson.

The man you like must be covered by yourself.

During the conversation, they walked to the door of the ward.Duan Mingyang's mother was found to have a heart problem at the beginning of the year, and Duan Mingyang was not at home, so he had to live in the hospital to take care of her temporarily, and his relatives took care of her, waiting for the operation arrangement.

The operation fee is 10,000+. If Duan Mingyang nodded and agreed to go home to work, his father would pay it immediately.However, Duan Mingyang has a stubborn backbone, he would rather work part-time and work in a bar than accept the favor of his biological father.Fortunately, the hourly salary in the bar is relatively decent, and he works hard. He has worked for nearly a year, and now he has saved [-] to [-] yuan.

Opening the door of the ward, Duan Mingyang walked in first, followed by Li Luo, saw him stop in front of a bed, called "Mom", followed him, poked his head out, and greeted politely: "Hello, Auntie."

Mother Duan's face was thin, but her complexion was not bad. She was quite surprised to see someone appearing behind her son: "This is...?"

"College students, stay at our house temporarily." Duan Mingyang briefly summarized.

Li Luo is very familiar with pleasing the elders, and he smiled: "There is no one in my house this week, so I want to make do with Ming Yang for a week and have someone to take care of me. Excuse me, auntie, I will help Ming Yang with the housework. The rent is paid."

Duan's mother smiled: "It's nothing to disturb, but it's a pity that auntie can't go home yet, otherwise I can cook a few dishes for you."

"It's okay, I'll be fine!"

Duan Mingyang squinted at him: "You know how to cook?"

Li Luo bumped him with an elbow: "We'll wait and see at night."

The three of them chatted for nearly an hour. Most of the time, Duan Mingyang and her mother talked about what happened in school, from which professor was stricter to which course had the most homework.

This is the first time Li Luo has heard him ramble so much since he knew him.

Duan Mingyang didn't say a word about working in the bar until late at night, he just said that he made some money in his part-time job and can afford the surgery fee, so he doesn't need to rely on anyone anymore, so don't worry about it.

As an outsider, it was inconvenient for Li Luo to interrupt too much, so he propped his head and listened quietly.Occasionally, when the mother and son talked about difficulties and their expressions became serious, they made a sound to enliven the atmosphere.

The other two patients in the ward were taking a nap, and they tried to keep their conversations down as much as possible. Mother Duan spoke softly, looking at her son with relief and love in her eyes. go along.

The sunlight outside the window was getting stronger, coating the silhouettes of their mother and son with a warm golden edge.Li Luo was dazzled by the halo, and vaguely remembered that he had such a tender moment with his mother when he was a child.

In terms of family members, Duan Mingyang is actually luckier than him, at least he has a close relative by his side who will give him genuine care and love without any barriers.

Before leaving, Duan's mother specially told her son: "Such a good classmate, you have to treat him well."

When Li Luo got this sentence, it was like having a gold medal for avoiding death, and his tail was raised to the sky. When buying vegetables in the supermarket, he picked out his favorite food: "I want beef! The most expensive one, I will pay! And that okra !"

Duan Mingyang: "Are you really cooking?"

"Hey... If I do, then just buy salad."

"..."

In the end, Duan Mingyang was naturally the cook.But he bought all the food he wanted and didn't ask him to pay a penny.

I thought that Duan Mingyang was at most at the level of "know how to cook", but unexpectedly the dishes on the table were unexpectedly delicious in color, fragrance, and with the addition of the major premise of "the first time my sweetheart cooks for me", the level of deliciousness double.

Li Luo usually doesn't eat much, but this meal was accompanied by two large bowls of rice, and he kept belching until he took a shower.

Duan Mingyang probably couldn't stand listening outside, so he knocked on the door and said, "It's easy to get dizzy after eating and taking a shower, so be careful."

Li Luo didn't lock the door, and when he heard the voice, he subconsciously wanted to use something to cover himself, but when he looked around, there wasn't even a curtain to block it in the small bathroom, just a shower head embedded in the wall brick above, spraying warm water , flowing down his body, gathered at the slightly concave tiles at his feet, and discharged into the sewer.

The life of the poor is really miserable...

But when he looked up and saw two towels next to each other and two toothbrushes touching each other, he felt that such a life full of fireworks seemed not bad.

As long as you are with the person you like, there is nothing to fear in the world.

It took nearly half an hour to finish the shower, Li Luo's fair skin was flushed as if it had been steamed, he wiped it off indiscriminately, and ran to Duan Mingyang's bedroom with slightly bigger slippers, There was still warm steam on his body.The long black hair was wet, the red lips were wet, and the amber eyes seemed to have rained, and the water was shining brightly.

"Can I sleep in your room?"

Duan Mingyang took his clothes into the bathroom, and said, "It's up to you."

Li Luo was not polite, and threw himself directly on the soft bed, sniffing the breath between the quilts carefully, feeling like a pervert, but his heart couldn't stop the sweetness.

The bedroom in Duan Mingyang's house is in much better condition than his dilapidated rental house, and the bed is much wider. Even if two adult men sleep there, they probably won't turn over and fall down.

Li Luo rolled several times on the bed, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a photo frame on the opposite cabinet from the corner of his eye, immediately aroused curiosity, got up and took a closer look.

In the photo, Duan Mingyang looks like he is just a high school student, surrounded by a group of male and female students, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and there is a bit of rebellious cool between his eyebrows and eyes, but overall he is still a handsome and refreshing boy , I can't see the shadow of being old and indifferent now.

The bathroom door "clicked", and Duan Mingyang came out of the shower, wearing only a pair of boxers, and wiping his hair with a dry towel.

Li Luo looked at him in front of him and then at the boy in the photo, and asked, "How did you become like this?"

"How am I now?"

"Well... I don't like to laugh very much. Everyone seems to owe you 500 million."

"If someone really owes me 500 million, I won't stop laughing."

"Oh……"

In the final analysis, he was forced by life to mature quickly and precociously, and the heavy family burden flattened the corners of his mouth that were once slightly raised.

Li Luo's eyes fell on his naked and strong back, the bruises that were once hideous and terrifying had faded away, but living in such an environment, who can guarantee that new scars will not be added in the future?

If he was born in a happier and more complete family, as calm and diligent as Duan Mingyang, he should have had a more peaceful and superior life.

Now I waste my study time to work part-time, and I am constantly harassed by my father and brother but cannot completely cut off the contact. In the final analysis, it is just because of lack of money.

And this is precisely what he has the most.

Li Luo's blood rushed to his heart, and he blurted out: "Ming Yang, I can give you money."

As soon as the words fell, he regretted it.

Duan Mingyang would not be happy to hear such words.

He immediately rushed ahead of Duan Mingyang, whose face was gloomy for a moment, to make amends: "I don't mean to support you, what I mean is, I can help you solve any difficulties you have. You don't have to feel indebted to me. I don't mean to sympathize with you, but to like you." You are the one who helped you, this kind of help is really a trivial matter to me..."

Duan Mingyang quietly listened to his rambling explanations, his expression didn't ease much:

"Li Luo, I've said it many times, don't bother chasing me, I won't be with you."

Li Luo's words paused.

It was as if a bottle of lemon soda had been unscrewed suddenly in my heart, a sour bubble popped up, and there was a fine pain when it exploded.

"Why... I've been chasing you for so long, do you really not like me at all?"

"It's not a question of whether you like it or not. We are not in the same world at all." Duan Mingyang approached him slowly, his dark eyes half blocked by wet hair, and the emotions inside were so vague that he couldn't see clearly.

"If you want to play, I will play with you. If you want to try something new, I will do it with you. But don't ask me for feelings."

"I said, you can't afford me, and I don't want to drag you into my world, because I am very self-aware, and I may not be able to give you the life you have now in my whole life."

"So, obediently be your eldest master, and enjoy your lucky life. People like me have played it and calculated it. If you can't catch up, let it go. Don't be obsessed."

Li Luo was not convinced: "But I just want your affection, I don't need you to give me a good life, I have it myself, you can come to my world, and I will give you everything I have."

"I don't like the world of your upper classes, intrigues and hypocrisy."

"Then I'll come to your world!" Li Luo was rarely serious, "Don't look down on me, think that I can't bear hardships, I can. I don't think you will be like this forever, you have the ability to live a better life, I would like to start from scratch with you."

Duan Mingyang pursed his lips tightly, remained silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his hands, and gently pulled his wet hair behind his ears, and lightly touched the tips of his ears with his fingers.

"If you do this, I will take it seriously."

"I was serious."

"Even if this second is true, can you guarantee the future? Li Luo, your status is doomed that you will always have a way out, and you will always have a choice. When you get tired of playing and tired, you can withdraw at any time. Go after someone who is more suitable for you, but I can't."

Duan Mingyang's voice gradually became hoarse, his hands slid down from his ears to his slender neck, and stroked lightly, as if he was stroking a piece of smooth and precious fine porcelain.

"A person who is used to darkness cannot have light. Light will melt the hard shell he lives on, dispel his guard against danger, and make him soft and fragile."

"Once the light disappears, he will fall into the deeper darkness, defenseless and helpless, either killed by the enemies lurking around, or alone to death."

"Unless I am sure that you will be my light forever, I cannot easily promise you."

Li Luo was stunned when he heard this, and after realizing it, he grabbed his hand that was about to withdraw, and gently rubbed his cheek against his generous palm, like a kitten pleasing its master:

"Then you have to make sure..."

He wrapped his arms around Duan Mingyang's neck and stuck to his body, through the thin fabric of pajamas, the body temperature of each other was transmitted to each other.There is hazy moisture in the eye waves.

"Give me a trial period, you can use me... ok?"
