After Dawn (Bing Kuai'er)

Duan Mingyang stared at him silently, his gaze was always focused on his face, never moving down.

"Mr. Li, don't always use your body to please me, I don't need you to do that."

"Please? I don't. I just like to see you pretending to be calm when you obviously can't control it."

Li Luo turned over, lying on the big soft bed, propped up the phone, hugged a pillow to cushion his chin, swayed his two bare and white legs, and looked at him with a smile.

"President Duan, I think you are much more interesting now than before. In the past, no matter what you were thinking, your appearance was cold. Although you are still cold now, if you observe carefully, you will know what you are thinking."

"I've never changed." Duan Mingyang said, "It's because you didn't observe carefully enough before."

"Huh? You still rely on me?" Li Luo pretended to be angry, and punched out of the bed aggressively. His fist was bounced off the mattress, and the movement was quite loud. Frustrated, inattentive to observe."

Duan Mingyang snorted softly: "Mr. Li is really shameless. When you were rejected by me, how did you feel depressed? Didn't you go drinking and having fun with your friends in a blink of an eye?"

"I have."

Li Luodeng was like a deflated ball, lying limply on the bed, with half of his face buried in the soft pillow, the voice came through the fabric and cotton, muffled:

"The day we broke up, I cried so badly."

"..."

Duan Mingyang on the screen seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and didn't say a word.

"I was tossed all night by you that day. You got inside me and didn't help me clean it up, which made me sticky. It was very uncomfortable, but when I woke up in the morning, there was no one around me. It's like cheating."

Li Luo's entire face was almost buried in the pillow, and his voice was inaudible, muttering:

"Not even a good morning kiss..."

After he finished speaking, he quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Duan Mingyang's reaction.

Duan Mingyang's eyes still fell on him, but he completely lost the majesty and momentum just now, and even vaguely wandered, like a big man who did something wrong and didn't know how to make up for it, a rare moment of bewilderment flashed across his face.

"...I'm sorry, that time, I shouldn't have left you."

"It's not just 'that time'." Li Luo's eyes were stained red, and there was a bit of grievance in his soft voice, "And the last time we separated, there were two times in total."

"I cried twice for you, Ming Yang."

Said these words like complaining, Li Luo himself felt a little guilty.

Duan Mingyang didn't hear his confession at all in those two times, he was only scolded severely, how could he know how uncomfortable he was?Even though he was treated like this, Duan Mingyang still kept the ring, and he still refused to say it was over. No matter how you look at it, he is an infatuated kind.

On the contrary, he cruelly dumped Duan Mingyang twice.

Although it was all caused by misunderstanding, and he didn't mean to hurt, but in all fairness, between the two of them, the person who was hurt more deeply may be Duan Mingyang.Otherwise, Duan Mingyang would not still reject his love proposal after the misunderstanding was resolved.

How disheartened can a person be, so that he can't even accept love anymore?

Thinking about this, Li Luo immediately regretted it.

Whether it was acting like a baby or complaining, what he said just now was inappropriate.He shouldn't blame Duan Mingyang, who is also a victim, for the harm he suffered, nor should he use it to win sympathy.

It buried the other party's heart and despised the other party's pain.

So he immediately added: "I don't blame you for saying this, I know you also—"

"Li Luo."

Duan Mingyang suddenly called out his name.

"...Huh?" Li Luo's heart skipped a beat. When Duan Mingyang called his name in such a serious manner, usually it would not be a good thing.

"I'm sorry to make you cry, but..." Duan Mingyang seemed to be hesitating whether to say it, hesitating for a few seconds, and finally said, "For me, this is not a bad thing."

Li Luo was taken aback, quite surprised: "What do you mean?"

Duan Mingyang didn't explain immediately, stood up from the desk, then walked into the room next door for rest, locked the door, sat on the sofa, exhaled softly, as if he had let go of his guard and self-preservation, revealing A bit slack and lazy.

The light in the lounge was also hazy and dim, which softened the contours of Duan Mingyang's cold face and blurred the emotions on his face.

"I always thought that your feelings for me come and go quickly." He said in a low voice, "So I heard you say that you cried for me, and I..."

He didn't go on, but Li Luo could roughly guess based on the context:

It's unexpected, it's distressed, and it's also happy.

But he was puzzled: "Why do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Because you always start a new life soon, don't you?" Duan Mingyang looked through him, as if looking at the past, "After we broke up for the first time, I went back to Duan's house. Not long after, I heard that you started to set foot in the entertainment industry."

"You acted in your first play and became famous overnight. During that time, everyone was talking about you, and everyone admired you."

"I couldn't hold back and went to watch the play you played."

Duan Mingyang lowered his eyes and paused for a few seconds, wondering if he recalled something.

"That role is very suitable for you. You played it very well. The heroine was so fascinated. The love words seemed to be at your fingertips, just like...you were like me at that time."

Li Luo immediately dismissed it: "It's just acting."

Duan Mingyang raised his eyes: "I know it's acting."

Li Luo was slightly stunned, after recollecting Duan Mingyang's words for a while, he came to understand: "So you think I was acting to you at that time?"

Duan Mingyang: "You said on the phone that you were just playing around with me, but in a blink of an eye, you turned into a star, and started dating various female stars, one drama after another, and the rumored partner changed one after another. You let me What can you think?"

"You have such a chic and wonderful life. But I am like a despicable person who can't see you, hiding in a dark corner, resenting your ruthlessness, and jealous of your freedom and ease."

"Why did you get out of this relationship so quickly? Why did you act like nothing happened between us? Why did you... forget me so easily."

"And I think about you all the time."

As soon as the voice fell, the screen suddenly went black.

Li Luo thought the video was hung up, and hurriedly wanted to call back, but after a closer look, the screen still showed that the call was in progress.

It was Duan Mingyang who covered the phone camera.

Li Luo stared blankly at the darkness.

He didn't dare and didn't want to disturb Duan Mingyang's silence and cover-up at the moment.

However, Duan Mingyang's expression behind the screen was inevitably imagined in his mind.

This man has always presented a cold and gloomy image to others, he is like this when he treats him cruelly, and he is also like this when he treats him tenderly, as if he is invincible, almost never revealing the slightest weakness.

However, the first time he said to break up, Duan Mingyang blushed in front of the strange shop assistant.

The second time he said to break up, Duan Mingyang's fingertips trembled in front of him.

The third time, it was Duan Mingyang who proposed to break up. He threw away the ring he had worn for five years, and he didn't want anything else, as long as he was safe and sound, as long as he didn't get hurt again.

He could cry unscrupulously to vent, but Duan Mingyang had to stand up straight and calmly even at this time.

It seemed that she couldn't tolerate showing any vulnerability in front of him.

The same is true now.

It took more than a minute for the screen to finally see the light again. Duan Mingyang reappeared with the same complexion, no emotion could be seen in his dark eyes, and continued to say flatly: "But these are in the past, now my A lot of thinking has changed."

Li Luo couldn't wait to ask: "For example?"

"For example, I said that we are not suitable, part of the reason is that you should not be uncomfortable for too long. In the long run, it is beneficial to you that we separate."

"However, you said today that you cried for our breakup, which made me suddenly realize that my previous judgment...may be wrong."

"If my leaving would make you so sad..."

Duan Mingyang stopped again, but this time he didn't seem to be hesitating, but rather hesitant to speak.

"Then I... won't make you cry again."

Li Luo took a deep breath.

A heart jumped to the sky in an instant, wishing to rush into the screen to hug him, kiss him, and tell him all the most beautiful love words in the world.

"You're about to make me cry now." He couldn't help sniffling, "You can't go back on what you said, and you're not allowed to talk about breaking up in the future."

Duan Mingyang nodded: "I won't say any more, if you want to say it someday, you don't have to worry about me."

The little bit of sweetness that Li Luo had saved up with great difficulty was crushed by these words.

Duan Mingyang said it tactfully, but he understood it.

Duan Mingyang didn't completely believe that his love would last forever, but just compromised.

Because she felt sorry for him, and because she didn't want him to cry again, she gave up self-protection and compromised desperately.

Li Luo really wanted to cry now.

The man in front of him said in front of him a month ago, "I'm not invincible, I can't bear the third time."

But now, just because he was worried that he would be sad, he pieced together another broken heart and presented it to him, and even prepared to be discarded for the third time.

Take it if you want it, throw it away if you don't want it, don't worry about me.

The tone of the speech sounds high, but the content of the words makes people feel pitifully humble.

"If I broke up with you again... what would you do?" Li Luo felt that what he said was purely seeking abuse, but he still wanted to force Duan Mingyang to speak out all the words in his heart.

After Duan Mingyang listened, he was silent for a while, and habitually touched the ring on his hand, but found nothing. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and changed to clasping his hands calmly: "Then go back to the original plan, first put the Solve your father's case, then leave the Duan family and move abroad with my mother."

Li Luo: "Since the decision has been made, why did you come back to me in the first place?"

"It's just a momentary impulse." Duan Mingyang seemed unwilling to talk any more, and changed the subject, "Let's talk about it next time, I should go out, Duan Xingye's people may come to me again at any time. You should also be careful, try not to go out these few days, It's still not sure if Duan Xingye can be convicted this time."

Li Luo immediately said: "Don't leave, I want to give you something."

Duan Mingyang looked at him in confusion: "Now?"

"Yes, now." Li Luo's heart is hotter than his body at this moment, and his eyes are looking at Duan Mingyang with fiery eyes, "If you are really worried that I will separate from you again, then I will tell you what I am most afraid of. Give it to you, let you feel at ease, how about it?"

Duan Mingyang frowned: "So that I can use it to threaten you in the future? You are forcing yourself."

"I trust you 100%, and I trust my own heart."

Li Luo propped himself up and knelt on the bed. The pajamas he had unbuttoned slowly slipped off his shoulders, exposing his entire white and firm chest.

He took off his pajamas and threw them on the ground.

"Send you a new video, even if it's used to threaten me."

"Since you deleted everything about me, I will return everything about me to you."
