black under lights

Zhou Hui's husband didn't know why she suddenly lost her temper. They had just watched a movie, planned to go shopping, and had dinner in the evening, but Zhou Hui was suddenly not in the mood. After returning home, she lost her temper and threw several books in the study ——She is still reluctant to drop expensive samples, after all, losing her temper also costs money.

But he still had bridge money.While her husband was tidying up in the study, she called and made an appointment with several acquaintances, planning to vent her anger on the sisters tonight.

On the other side, when Li Li returned to Mid-Levels, she happened to meet Feng Qing who was about to go out.

Feng Qing is dressed in a suit and leather shoes today, his hair is meticulously pomaded, and he is full of energy. He should be talking about business or meeting people.Seeing Li Li getting off the car, he smiled slightly, and the gentleman stepped forward to hold Li Li's hand, and kissed the back of her hand softly.Li Li's face was calm, with only a faint smile in her eyes.

Knowing that his clothes were neat and tidy, he tidied them up for Feng Qing with his hands.

Feng Qing focused on Li Li the whole time, his gaze gradually softened.Even the servant who saw her off at the door sighed inwardly. Although Ms. Li is not a wife, Mr. Feng treats her really uniquely.

"Where are you going today?"

"Meet with Mr. Tang to discuss cooperation, you met last time."

"Come back at night?"

"Not necessarily, it depends." Feng Qing raised his hand to look at his watch, "If I'm not home by six o'clock, you can eat first."

Li Li put down her hands, nodded slightly, didn't say much, but didn't move.

Feng Qing took two steps, then circled back.He held Li Li's hand: "You still go with me, the business talk is not long, I will arrange someone to accompany you around, the rest is entertainment, if you are present, I will drink less."

Because of concerns about his status, Feng Qing actually asked Li Li to socialize with him very little.But he is in a good mood tonight, so he might as well spoil her more.It's just that I didn't expect that the good mood tonight would be destroyed after all.

Rumors came out of nowhere during the dinner party, saying that Li Li is now a shady lover, who can follow whoever spends a lot of money.Mr. Feng is just a fool, willing to spend money, willing to pay the bill, if Li Li doesn't follow the pig, who will he follow?It's just that it's not easy to be a sister-in-law. A woman with a superficial appearance may be replaced in two years.

After talking about gossip, I still have to secretly laugh, I don't know who will be the next lucky one.

The women suddenly stopped talking, turned their heads and found that Feng Qing was behind them at some point, and how long they had been listening, with a sullen look on his face and sharp eyes like knives, which made the ladies run away in fright.

It was a little later, after a decent farewell, Feng Qing and Li Li sat in the car, but they didn't start the car for a long time.It's not that Li Li didn't realize that Feng Qing's mood was not quite right tonight, who knows which nerves she was stimulated, she always had to be careful, walking on thin ice.

But he didn't want him to press his forehead against hers: "Lily, do you want to be a sister-in-law?"

Li Li raised her eyelids, looked at him for a few seconds, and said with a smile, "I thought I was always."

"Yes, yes, you have always been. I said the wrong thing." Feng Qing scratched her hair and held her hand again, "You can follow me in and out of venues in the future, I want everyone to understand, from beginning to end You are the only sister-in-law. I am too busy to make you wronged, and I can't help you. "

Feng Qing hugged Li Li, but didn't see a trace of complexity flashing through his eyes.From now on, he can follow him on any occasion, and he can get in touch with people around him more, which means...

In a hidden underground gambling hall in Hung Hom, Li Xueying removed the card given to him by Sister Ah Feng last time—he had already proposed the banknotes, and put them in an inconspicuous place, so they would be used in many places in the future.

He didn't go to the nightclub as usual today, but went straight home.

Simple public housing, although there is no extravagant space, it is neat, clean and comfortable with all the daily necessities.He called the manager for the day off, and after dealing with his complaints, he lay exhausted on the bed, staring at the dull cracks in the ceiling.

The wind blows in from outside the window, causing the curtains to sway gently.

With her eyes closed, Li Xueying reached out and touched the yellowed book beside the bed with ease.

One of the pages of the book has been gently torn apart by Li Xueying - it didn't take long for him to discover something wrong with the book, whenever he opened it casually, the pages always stayed on the same page.So after he carefully separated the page, he found a piece of paper in the middle of the thin paper, which recorded a series of meaningless numbers, maybe a password.

He didn't know the meaning of the code. In fact, without Xin Mo, the string of numbers really meant nothing to him.

He preferred the verses on the page he had separated.

I can already close my eyes and be able to recite silently——

……

I give you the core of myself that I tried to keep

——Don’t make sentences with words, don’t trade with dreams

A core untouched by time, joy and adversity

I give it to you, many years before your lifetime

seen at sunset

Memories of a Withered Rose

I give you an interpretation of your life

about your own theory

your real and amazing presence

I give you my loneliness

my darkness

my heart's hunger

A month later, Li Xueying met Xing Mo again on the gambling boat.

The night is just right, and the cruise ship's undulating sleep drifts on the high seas, like a silent ghost ship.The sensual dogs and horses in the boat are full of fun.

Li Xueying tidied up the collar of her shirt, took out a wet handkerchief to wipe her fingers, threw it into the cloth bag before leaving the door, and walked towards the gaming table calmly.

Tonight, he is still calm and charming, and he knows how to restrain his light, so that he can emit a faint radiance in such a night without overwhelming the guest.

The door of the casino opened, and a large number of gamblers flooded into the room.

Half an hour later, the crowd of onlookers in front of the baccarat machine where Li Xueying was at was getting bigger and bigger, people shouting louder and louder, and the amount of bets also increased with the atmosphere, getting bigger and bigger.The attracted people stand still, the ashes who have lost all their money leave, and immediately new people join the game, and the cycle goes on.

Among the sensual crowd, a tall figure was pushing aside the crowd, holding a cigarette in his hand indifferently and casually, slowly walking to the front of the gaming table without making a fuss.Let the crowd go wild, even if the man exudes suaveness, he still has a rough texture, like sand and gravel, and the glimmer of light in his drooping eyes is dim and unclear, which makes a certain sense of mystery flow in him.

"Zhuang." He made a move, ten pieces of mud.

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Xueying paused all over, and then continued to move without raising her eyes.

He waited patiently for everyone to place a good bet, and Zhuang won the game.

There was another climax in the crowd's annoyance or cheers, but Xing Mo remained calm and did not calm down. He just raised his hand to light the unlit cigarette, and fixed his eyes on Li Xueying.

Li Xueying finally couldn't hold back when she exchanged chips with him, glanced at him, and couldn't look away for an instant.

Xing Mo is wearing a light blue shirt and dark trousers today. Instead of wearing a belt, he wears a thong at the back.He was lazily smoking a freshly lit cigarette, and although he stood casually, his shoulders and back still looked upright, and there was a trace of awe that didn't fit the crowd in his suave manner.

Catching Li Xueying's gaze for the first time, she immediately raised her eyes and locked them tightly, with a three-point smile in her drooping eyes.He held the cigarette with his index finger and thumb and took a deep puff. The smoke lingered around him. He held the chip with his other hand and pushed it to the other side: "Idle."

Li Xueying withdrew her gaze, and quickly shuffled the cards, waiting for the betting crowd to settle down and draw the cards.

Leisure wins.

Xing Mo doubled his chips again.

Li Xueying's heart was pounding, but there was no movement on her face, there was always a faint smile on her face.He himself was white, and when the light above his head shone on him, his whole body glowed faintly. From a distance, it seemed that he was so white that he emitted a layer of light.

Winning two games in a row on the gambling table is good luck. If Xing Mo moves again, he may lose all his chips.

Li Xueying remained calm, waiting for Xing Mo to place another bet.

But Xing Mo clasped his palm and took back all the chips: "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, he didn't take a long look, and left the gambling table without looking back.The crowd rushed forward to fill their seats in an instant.

Li Xueying was stunned for only a moment, and subconsciously looked across the crowd to find Xing Mo.As if feeling something, Xing Mo waved his hand with his back to Li Xueying, and walked to the next gaming table.

Coincidence?

still--

Li Xueying, who has always been proficient and professional, was rarely restless when sitting in the manor tonight.

At two o'clock in the morning, during the first shift change, Xing Mo quickly gave him the answer.

Li Xueying wrapped her coat and let the wind blow on the deck to wake her up. Just as she took out a cigarette from the soft bag, she heard footsteps approaching behind her.Years of vigilance and observation made him quiet for a moment, but when he was about to turn around, he felt a warm embrace from behind... Maybe it couldn't be called a hug, but his hands crossed him and supported him on the railing of the ship.

Restraining her movements, Li Xueying saw those hands, strong and wounded, clasping the railing tightly.

"I checked once, and there is no heroin or other things. I found some good things at the bottom. Bet on your life, bet on the deal, bet on the deed, but you must have known how to deal with these things. I heard from Xing Shaofeng that the last incident of breaking the water room was the most important contribution to you." , and even get a copy of the party’s transaction records.” Xing Mo whispered behind him, while wrapping Li Xueying’s flying scarf around him, the dim light in his eyes flowed again, “I’m here to help, I don’t want you to be so sharp. Xing Shaofeng is not here today, I will replace him. Do you have anything to give to me?"

The sea breeze blew away his breath, but the temperature was familiar, which made Li Xueying a little distracted. He put the cigarette back in his pocket irritably: "Xing Sheng, please don't appear behind me next time, it's very dangerous."

"Are you in danger or am I in danger?" Xing Mo smiled.

"Of course you are in danger. Don't forget that this is the high seas. It's not uncommon to kill someone. Even the definition of crime itself doesn't exist. I advise you to be careful and don't get into trouble." Li Xueying said lightly, "There are too many people. Miscellaneous, give me the room number, and I will look for you after the second shift is over."

At the end of the sentence, the people behind unexpectedly did not exit the scene according to the script.

Xing Mo was silent for nearly 2 minutes, and suddenly changed into a completely different tone from before.There is no ridicule, no intentional improvement, low and hoarse, even with two emotions.

"Obviously wanted to punch me, questioned loudly, but remained indifferent, and even refused to reveal it. You used to be completely different."

Li Xueying's eyes widened in an instant, but fortunately, facing the pitch-black sea water, he quickly restrained his emotions once again habitually.A certain bubble that had been expanding between the two since they met seemed to be punctured by Xing Mo.

"I never ask for anything. It doesn't matter whether it's love or things, or a complete explanation." Li Xueying turned around, this time she looked directly into Xing Mo's eyes without dodging, and suddenly smiled in relief, "This world changes rapidly, and people can't help it." Same. What was owed yesterday may be worthless tomorrow. Xing Sheng, it is you who should be anxious. I am waiting for you."

His smile was like a jade mountain about to collapse, his bright eyes set off Bai Xuexue's face and brows, making it impossible to move away.

Rao even Xing Mo was dazzled by this sudden brilliance for a moment.

"I'll talk to you later if I have anything to say. I'm going to drink two glasses of wine now, so don't follow me." Li Xueying turned around.

Xing Mo was quick to grab his hand just as he was about to leave, and gently moved towards his arms, the cold breath of sea water suddenly rushed to the deck, kissing their cheeks.Considering the temperature of the cold wind, he quickly reported a series of room numbers in Li Xueying's ear, and said in a low voice deliberately: "See you in the room later, see you soon."

Feeling Li Xueying froze for a second, and then quickly left, Xing Mo chuckled.

And Li Xueying, who walked back into the room, cursed a few words in her heart, rubbed her red hands inexplicably feeling her face was hot, unexpectedly there was a faint expectation in the dark, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised.

Be there or be square.Five years ago, he also said it countless times, and it almost became his mantra.

Although I waited for five years, I never broke my promise.Sure enough, be there or be square.
