After Dawn (Bing Kuai'er)

The empty corridor was as quiet as if it was isolated from the world.

"...Romantic? I feel so silly."

Li Luo smiled, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes against the light.

"So stupid, that fool."

Su Zhi also smiled: "I think he is stupid, let him open it up."

"Well, I will."

Li Luo walked to the door of the lounge, pressed the handle of the door, and suddenly turned around: "Miss Su."

Su Zhi: "Huh?"

Li Luo: "I'm sorry."

Su Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What apologies, you didn't post the photos. If you have to say something, say thank you, if it wasn't for my photos blocking it, you might be the one who suffered all these years .”

Li Luo knew she was joking, but still replied seriously: "Thank you, if there is anything that needs my help in the future, I will be happy."

"That's what you said." Su Zhi smiled, "If my ex-husband splashes me with dirty water, you have to support me."

Li Luo made an OK gesture: "I will definitely let him know that you are a woman he should not provoke."

Su Zhi smiled heartily, and the laughter echoed in the corridor, gradually fading down.

"Mr. Li, you are so lucky."

Su Zhi still raised the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were slightly red.

"How I wish there was a misunderstanding between me and him."

Li Luo looked at her and said softly, "Miss Su, although it sounds perfunctory to say so, I think you definitely deserve better."

Su Zhi looked up at the ceiling for a while, then lowered her head again, and smiled at him: "I think so too."

Li Luo also smiled: "As expected of Miss Su."

"The facts are settled, what else can I do if I don't think so." Su Zhi shook her head helplessly: "I should go, Mr. Li, I wish you two lucky men to reconcile soon, don't let me be such a fool for nothing. year's shield."

"Definitely." Li Luo respectfully said, "By the way, I have one last thing to ask Miss Su."

"what?"

"Ming Yang laughed...what did he look like?"

Su Zhi recalled for a moment: "It's very clean and clear, the feeling of a clear sky."

Li Luo nodded: "Then I hope that from now on, every day will be sunny."

Su Zhi watched him step into the lounge and close the door, and then slowly came to his senses, and couldn't help but smile.

With you, it's more than just a sunny day.

The door of the lounge "clicked", and Duan Mingyang was making a phone call with his back to the door. The moment he heard the ringing, he immediately covered the phone and turned his head. After seeing the person clearly, he let go of his hand and continued to answer.

"Well, I see."

Li Luo closed the door, turned the lock, walked lightly behind Duan Mingyang, put his arms around his waist, put his chin on his shoulder, and leaned against him.

They were so close that they could hear the conversation clearly.

"President Duan, what should we do next?" It was Jin Ren's voice.

Duan Mingyang hesitated for half a second, and finally raised his hand, covering the back of the overlapping hands on his waist.

Cold to the touch.

He frowned imperceptibly.

"Don't act rashly, first observe the development of the situation and prepare for public relations."

"Okay, that's all for Miss Su." Jin Ren continued, "I'll report to you about Brother Luo's latest move."

Li Luo couldn't help chuckling, stopped it immediately, lay on Duan Mingyang's shoulder and kept vibrating, holding back his laughter until he was about to get hurt internally.

Jin Ren didn't notice it, and continued to report on his work: "I have sorted out the other content and will send it to your email later. The main report is: Brother Luo is wearing very thin clothes today, saying that he wants to make you feel bad."

Li Luo's smile froze.

Duan Mingyang glanced at him sideways, lifted him from behind to front, and pushed him lightly.

Li Luo took a few steps back and leaned his back against the wall.Duan Mingyang stretched his arm, trapping him in his shadow.

"It hurts me?"

Jin Ren: "Yes, he said that bitter tricks are more effective for you."

Li Luo blinked his eyes with an innocent face.

Duan Mingyang narrowed his eyes: "I see."

After hanging up the phone, no one made a sound in the lounge, it was so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing.

"Mr. Li, explain?"

"Didn't you hear that?" Li Luo put his hand on his heart, "It's so cold today, Mr. Duan help me cover it."

Duan Mingyang lowered his eyes and looked at the slender hand on his chest. It was pale and pink, especially at the knuckles.

He pushed that hand away without hesitation.

Li Luo pouted: "Hmph, ruthless."

Duan Mingyang looked at him coldly, raised his hand and took off his suit jacket neatly, with a wave in the air, the heavy jacket rose and fell, and finally covered his shoulders.

With Duan Mingyang's body temperature.

"Mr. Li, everyone can say that I am ruthless, only you are not qualified."

Li Luo was slightly stunned, and after realizing the implied meaning of this sentence, he immediately used this posture to snuggle into Duan Mingyang's arms, hugged his waist, pressed it against his chest, and blocked his face: "Then show me your face." Love to me."

But Duan Mingyang didn't hug him back for a long time: "I said, I dare not give it again."

"Are you sure?" Li Luo's hands were not honest, and he groped for a long time on him, and finally, his fingertips touched a hard object in his pocket.

"I dare not, what is this?" He quickly pulled out the thing and held it in front of Duan Mingyang, with a triumphant smile on his face, "This wallet is the one I got dirty before, right? No wonder the color is deep and light." Shallow... I heard that there is a picture of me in it?"

Duan Mingyang's face changed slightly, and he raised his hand to grab it.

Li Luo immediately turned around, quickly opened the wallet in his hand, and took out the two photos in the interlayer.

Duan Mingyang pressed him against the wall, hugging him almost from behind, but couldn't get the photo, said in a deep voice, "Don't make trouble."

"Why? Are you shy?" Li Luo pulled out a photo from the back and held it up with a smile, "Isn't it just a photo——"

Li Luo kept his mouth shut.

He had already fantasized about sneaking photos in various situations in his mind, and he was even mentally prepared to see himself in disgrace.

However, he never expected that the photo that Duan Mingyang had hidden in his wallet and treasured for several years turned out to be a passport photo.

During his college days, when he was selected as one of the top ten handsome men on campus, his ID photo was on the list.

At that time, he was coaxed by a group of friends to accept the award, and he stood openly in front of the white cloth background, made a V to the camera of the campus reporter, smiled heartlessly, and made the most youthful and public moment frozen in that moment.

The photo is not made of photo paper, but more like it was cut from a certain school newspaper. The color has faded a little due to the age, and it is a thin sheet that can be torn with a little force.

"How could it be this one..." Li Luo was puzzled, "Since it is going to be released, why not put a photo of the two of us together?"

Duan Mingyang stuck behind him, seemed to have given up on the snatch, just hugged him, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "Deleted."

Li Luo was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Everything about you was deleted on the day you let me go."

"...Because you're angry with me?"

"No."

"why?"

"Because that day was also the day I promised my dad to go back to Duan's house." Duan Mingyang closed the coat covering his body for him to prevent the heat from escaping, and hugged him tightly again, as if guarding some kind of treasure, "I can't Let them discover your existence, Mr. Li."

Li Luo turned his head: "Aren't they very aware of my existence?"

"I mean——" Duan Mingyang's face was very close to him, but because of the deep pupils, it seemed to be separated by a long distance, "You exist in my heart."

For an instant, time seemed to stand still in the lounge.

Only now did Li Luo realize that it was not Duan Mingyang who should be enlightened, but himself.

Duan Mingyang is indeed the most romantic person in the world, and he has been doing the most romantic things in the world.

It is he who does not know this romance and misunderstands this romance.

Duan Mingyang continued: "Only by erasing all traces of you, Duan Xingye will believe that I was just playing with you at that time."

"But when all the evidence that you approached me disappeared, even I myself began to be unsure whether the things between us had ever happened."

"Later, when I looked at your photo, I even began to suspect that everything was just my imagination."

"You are still the flamboyant Young Master Li, and I am just the ordinary person in the crowd watching you being admired by the stars."

Duan Mingyang's face was buried in the socket of his shoulder, and the warm skin was pressed against the cool neck, transmitting the warmth.

"Mr. Li, you are naturally proud and confident. You think that it is humble to pursue someone actively. You think that as long as you pursue me, I will agree one day. Even if you once loved me, even if something like that happened, in a different environment Starting over, I am still happy and unrestrained.”

"And I can't."

Duan Mingyang raised his hand, stroked his neck, all the way down, touched his choker, then the chain, and finally the ring under the chain.

"Those pasts kept circling in my mind. I analyzed myself from beginning to end over and over again, and suffered from insomnia all night. But I had no proof except my memory. And the original clear memory began to fade with the passage of time. Blurred and suspicious."

"I've never felt safe with you, as you have."

Duan Mingyang touched the ring for a while and then let go, just like letting his own ring fall to the ground that day.Then take a half step back to open the distance:

"I don't blame you for saying these things, Mr. Li. I appreciate your arrogance and your willfulness, but my suspicious character is not worthy of—"

Li Luo quickly turned around, grabbed his collar, switched positions in an instant, and pressed Duan Mingyang hard against the wall!

"Whether you deserve it or not is not up to you alone."

The tip of Li Luo's nose touched his, baring his teeth.

"I've really had enough."

His eyes were faintly red: "Do you think I have no heart? Don't you feel bad?"

"I only realized in the past few days that what I fucking misunderstood wasn't just the video. I misunderstood you as a whole. I love you so much that I'm dying of pain, do you understand?"

Duan Mingyang looked at him silently, raised his hand, and took his hand.

"I understand."

"The night I saw the video, I realized that you were not as frivolous and ruthless as I thought, and deliberately abandoned me. But I have always treated you with the same attitude... I am very distressed and guilty."

"But you still don't believe my sincerity." Li Luo tightened his fingers, "If you doubt it, you can confirm it with your own hands. If you think I'm capricious, you can clean it up with your own hands."

"Weren't you very domineering to me before? Didn't you keep teaching me? Why, you know you misunderstood me, and you start to soften your heart?"

"Let me tell you, Duan Mingyang, I can bear anything, don't feel sorry for me, don't think that leaving me will keep me safe."

Li Luo grabbed his hand, lifted the ring hanging around his neck, and put it on Duan Mingyang's empty finger.

"From the moment I knew the truth, I was like this ring, an accessory of yours, bound to you. Although I do feel that chasing you is humble, I am not wronged at all. I am indeed I think you will agree to me sooner or later, because your love gives me confidence."

Li Luo raised his arms around his neck, and kissed Duan Mingyang's cheek heavily:

"So I'm still struggling. Anyway, no matter what my personality is or what your personality is, you will love me for the rest of your life and will never love anyone else, will you?"

Duan Mingyang looked at the ring that was forcibly put on his hand: "...you can even buy a ring for yourself, do you still need my love?"

"Of course."

Li Luo let go of his hand, slid down, and knelt down on his knees.

The black choker seemed to be a collar, shackling his freedom.The slender chain extends to Duan Mingyang's fingers, controlling it for him.

"I have everything but your love."

Li Luo raised his eyes to look at him, they were clear and bright.

"Belong to me, or let me belong to you, Ming Yang."
