It was already late at night when Ace finished dealing with Wu Jun's affairs.When he came out of Wujun's house, he ran into Xia Li. To be precise, Xia Li was waiting for him on purpose.

"Is something wrong?"

Xia Li was a little embarrassed, rubbing the slightly too long sleeves in his hands.

Ace suggested: "How about we go for a walk in the garden."

"Ah."

Summer nights are not lonely, when there is a round and white moon in the sky, all the scenery is half gray and half white.There are crickets chirping insects in the garden, and there are sporadic frogs when approaching the pool-turned-pond.Roses and orchids also bloom into a thick gray under the moonlight, but the aroma at night is more intense and clear.

Ace waited quietly for Xiali to speak, Xiali finally took a deep breath and said, "Ace, I was the one who avoided you before, I'm sorry."

"Okay, I forgive you." Ace put his arm on Xiali's arm, and Xiali's height was just right for him to put his arm.

"But can you tell me why you're avoiding me?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not because I hate you." Xia Li rubbed his hands on the clothes, looking for the right words, "It's just, I feel that you have seen the worst of me anyway, I don't want to let you You know me like that, if you don’t see me, maybe you can quickly forget about it.”

"If you forget it, you will never forget it."

Hearing what he said, Xiali suddenly became anxious, but Ace said: "I have seen the bad side, and I have also seen the good side. I can't forget the bad side, and I can't forget your good side."

Xiali's face was so hot that he quickly lowered his head, thinking that it was fortunate that it was night, otherwise his face would be so red that he didn't know what to do, and he didn't want Ace to see him like this.

Xia Li whispered, "Is there a good look?"

"of course."

"When?"

"emmm..."

"Look, you can't figure it out."

"It's not that I can't figure it out, I'm just thinking about what you'll look like one day, because every day you're here is beautiful, and it's the same now."

Xia Li felt his heart beating fast, but he didn't know what to say, he just felt that his heart was beating so fast, so annoying.He pulled Ace's arm from his shoulders and hurried to the front alone.

Ace yelled from behind: "Why are you walking so fast all of a sudden." He also hurried to catch up.

Xiali stopped by the pond and squatted down, covering his chest with one hand, and he finally got better.

The group of fat and beautiful koi in the pond also swam over when they heard the sound of people in the middle of the night.Under the moonlight, those brightly colored ornamental fish are writhing in the water, and the colorful scales on their bodies are shining, like a layer of gold powder and silver flakes sprinkled on the water surface, which is very beautiful.

Xia Li was stunned.

Ace pushed him suddenly, and said mysteriously, "Hey, let me show you something."

"what?"

"Keep your eyes open and watch carefully." Ace said and began to undress.

"Why are you undressing?" Xia Li widened his eyes in surprise.

"Don't worry." He said and began to take off his pants.

"What am I in a hurry for?" Xia Li was really in a hurry, he said well, why did he start to take off his clothes.

"You'll know right away." Ace took off his underwear with a "wow".

Xia Li let out a short scream and quickly covered his eyes.

But Ace came over: "I said I want to show you something, why are you covering your eyes?"

"You put your clothes on."

"You can't see me when I put on clothes." Ace desperately broke Xiali's hand away.

Xiali felt like a cooked shrimp, his whole body was hot and scalding, he was forced to open his eyes, and the scene in front of him stunned him.

Ace tattooed a stingray all over his back and covered his body with shiny black scales.

The stingray's flanks spread to Ace's hind arms like wings, and its long, diabolical tail wrapped around Ace's hip and circled his right leg.

Ace turned his head, triumphantly: "How about it, doesn't it look good?"

"you……"

A strong emotion rushed to the top of Xia Li's head like hot blood, making his eyes hot and his nose sore.His throat quivered and he stared straight at the fish and could not speak.

"What's the matter, doesn't it look good?"

Xia Li tried his best to control his trembling voice: "It looks good."

"Let me just say it." Ace said while putting on his clothes. "Now this tattoo is very popular. Everyone is queuing up to get it. I made an appointment a long time in advance before I got it. Don't say it, it's because of you."

Xiali suddenly thought of what Ace once said: "No matter how much pain it brings you, it is beautiful." The pain he endured should not be blamed on this tattoo, let alone himself.

It seemed that from this moment, Xiali finally knew how to accept the tattoo and how to forgive himself.

Ace was half dressed and began to undress again.

"Why don't we go swimming?" Ace jumped into the pond with only his underwear left, and the fish around him dispersed quickly. Ace swam around nimbly, and the fish gathered with him again come over.

Ace's outstretched arms and vigorous posture are like a free-roaming devil fish.He swam up to Xiali and raised his wet head: "Why don't you come down, don't you know how to swim, I can teach you."

"I can."

"Then come quickly."

After hesitating for a while, Xiali took off his coat and put his legs into the water first.The heat wave of the day faded away, and the night was still a bit cool. The coolness made him retreat subconsciously, but Ace grabbed his calf and dragged him into the water.

Ace laughed for a while, Xia Li took a sip of water, and raised his head out of the water, his golden soft hair stuck to his forehead, and the water flowed down his upturned eyelashes like a stream.

Ace thought that Xiali must be annoyed, but he just smiled at Ace, and the school of fish surrounded Xiali, pecking him a little itchy.

Ace turned his head and jumped out, Xia Li also held the water and swam forward to follow Ace closely, and the fish followed.Under the moonlight, it seemed that their hands and feet had degenerated into fins, and they had truly transformed into two huge and beautiful fish, swimming briskly and freely in this pond.

For a moment, Xiali suddenly felt that he was really free. As long as he swam fast enough, those past shames and sins would not be able to catch up with him.As long as Psi can be given a chance to swim like this, maybe they can really get rid of those invisible shackles on their bodies, and get real freedom and equality.

Xiali forgot all about it and swam forward with all his strength, and soon, he surpassed Ace...

The moon sank westward, sinking with the last light, and the garden was dark again.Xiali was sitting on a swing by the pond with her legs crossed, wearing Ace's clothes.Ace opened his arms and put them on the edge of the back of the swing chair, with his long legs propped on the ground, gently rocking the swing back and forth.

After swimming for half a night, my body was tired, but my heart was very light and joyful.It was almost dawn, and the temperature had dropped to the lowest level of the day. Xiali leaned gently on Ace's side, his skin was against Ace's skin. Ace's skin was very hot, as if it had endless energy and warmth, which always made people feel uncomfortable. Want to get closer.

Xiali couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been in physical contact with others so calmly, but he didn't resent being next to Ace at all, instead he felt very relaxed, and he yawned.

"Ace, let me tell you another secret."

Ace turned his head, and Xia Li said, "I also have a twin brother named Hogg."

"Why have I never heard from you that Hogg is also in your foster school?"

Xia Li shook his head: "No, I separated from him, I don't know where he is."

"Do you want me to help you reunite?" Ace sighed, "But I'm just an ordinary soldier now, and what I can do is limited."

"No, I just want to know where he is and which school he is in. I can go and see him. I just, just want to make sure he is still alive."

That time he sneaked out with Hogg, they were captured together, and they separated after being captured.Xiali started his career being auctioned, but he had never seen Hogg in any auction place, and he had asked about other pet Psi in private, and he had never seen Hogg like him.

At first, Xiali was secretly glad that he might have returned to raising and studying. Later, he secretly went back to their previous school to inquire. It is said that he was sent to another school because he violated the regulations, but he didn’t know exactly where. Xiali was always very worried. .

Ace suddenly thought of something, and said, "Jun Wu said he helped you because you are a family member of one of his friends. Could it be Hogg who is his friend?"

Xia Li opened his eyes wide: "Really?"

"Really, Wu Jun said so."

"But why didn't he tell me?"

"I don't know. What if his friend is your father or your mother? I was just thinking about how to rescue you, and I forgot to tell you about it."

"No, my mother is dead, my father is not in this city, and his friend can only be Hogg."

At dawn, Xia Li and Ace went to knock on Jun Wu's door.Wu Jun had messy hair, sleepy eyes, and his face was extremely pale because he had just passed the puberty period. He yawned and asked impatiently, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"

Xiali was a little excited, stepped forward and asked, "Do you know Hogg?"

Wu Jun straightened his face and motioned for them to come into the house.

As soon as Xiali entered, he pulled Wu Jun: "Where is Hogg now?"

"Don't get excited, I did see him in foster school, but I'm not sure he's still there."

"You recognized me at that auction, right?" Xia Li recalled Wu Jun's strange reaction when he first met Wu Jun at the auction.

"Yes, after all, you look a lot like him."

"Then why didn't you tell me for so long?"

Wu Jun lifted his eyelids slightly, looked at Xia Li who was blushing because of excitement, and said two words softly: "Forgot."

Xiali was full of anger, like a puffer fish suffocating.He obviously didn't believe Wu Jun because he forgot, but he didn't know why Wu Jun didn't tell him immediately.

Wu Jun said again: "I say we are friends because Hogg once helped me by chance. I regard him as a friend. Maybe he has no impression of me at all. Besides, I have been away from school for so long. He It’s hard to say if it’s still there.”

"Which school is it?"

Wu Jun thought for a moment, then said: "Go and ask Lear for instructions. I'll change my clothes, and I'll take you there."
