stained with the imprint of love... me and you

"Has...is it time to leave?" Juyue felt that what she said was like a lover who had to rush home in the middle of the night and the man was away.

"Not leaving." Jeremy replied with a smile as he put on his clothes. "Just get out for a while."

"I'll be back soon." Jeremy kissed Xiyue's forehead.

"People who can't come back like to promise that they will come back. Come back right away." Xiyue responded sadly.

"Then I'm an exception." Jeremy said to Xiyue seriously before walking out the door. "For you, I will be an exception to this."

"I don't need you to be a ghostly exception." Kanyue vaguely felt that Jeremy's departure this time would definitely make him regret it. "I just want you not to die."

"The ghostly exception is that you don't die." Jeremy comforted Jianyue, and maybe he was just comforting himself.

"Don't die." Juyue felt like tears were about to fall. "Otherwise, even if I survived for you, I will only become a walking dead."

"Okay." Jeremy kissed Kanyue's lips again. "I will work hard."

Then, Jeremy walked out resolutely and closed the outer door of the house in the dark.

’ He was talking about trying not coming back. Kanyue seemed to have realized what was going to happen, guessing that Jeremy made for himself and him a choice that was doomed to failure.

Speaking of it, I still don't have any right to choose.Is not it.

Otherwise, why can't I just stay in this filthy room and wait for the result I already know.

Thinking of this, Kanyue suddenly made a decision.

Xiyue took the cash that Jeremy left for her, sneaked out of the house and followed Jeremy.

"I said you should be less associated with people like that, Matthew." Sam kindly reminded Matthew. "That guy has a wide range of influence. Especially since he's Gavin's subordinate."

"Got it..." Matthew waved his hand casually. "don’t worry."

"How can you not be worried..." Sam looked at Matthew who looked the same as usual, but he always felt that something different was undercurrent in the whole atmosphere. Sam couldn't tell what it was, but it seemed ominous.

Especially knowing that guy Matthew for so long, this is the first time he asked himself to buy a gun.

"I hope that guy won't do something out of his mind..." Sam looked at Matthew's receding back and suddenly felt a little worried.

"Let's get married, Candi." Jesse suddenly said to Candice in the shop after closing.

Before Candice could react, Jesse knelt down in front of Candice.

"You, will you marry me?" Jesse took out the ring Candice didn't know when he bought it.

"Why..." Candice was taken aback by Jesse's move.

"Because I love you." Jesse said seriously after kneeling on one knee. "I love you. I hope that there will be such a you by my side in my future life."

"I don't want what happened to Erica to happen to you again." Jesse lowered his head, sad in his voice. "I know it's selfish to think like this... But I really feel lucky... I'm glad that the person who had the accident... wasn't you..."

"I know how shameless I am for saying those words... how inhuman..." Jesse's voice choked up. "But I really can't imagine what my life will be like after losing you..."

"So I feel sorry for Matthew..." Jesse looked up at Candice. "I can't imagine what he's been through...although he's only been with Erica for such a short time..."

Candice looked down at the ring in the box in Jesse's hand.

It was very simple, just an ordinary white gold ring, and the diamond set on it was not too big.Because it was held by Jesse with the hands that were flying in the air, it was a little shaking.

But for a woman, all this is enough.

At least for Candice as a woman, that's all she wants.

"I would." Candice took Jesse's hand and motioned for Jesse to stand up. "It doesn't need to be asked at all. Does it?"

Jesse gently slipped the ring in the box onto Candice's left ring finger, but the ring seemed too big for Candice's finger.

"I'll go to the store and make it smaller." Jesse also noticed the problem, looking into Candice's eyes and said. "Or fatten you up." Jesse smiled.

"It's so easy to feed fat people's fingers... idiot." The conversation between Candice and Jesse seemed to be back to the beginning.

"Maybe I'm an idiot." Jesse hugged Candice's shoulders with both hands, exerting a slight force. "An idiot who loves you. An idiot who never wants to be separated from you. An idiot who wants you to love me the same way and never leave me."

"Maybe I've been such an idiot for a long time." Candice put her arms around Jesse's back as well. "Longer than you."

Dongyuan Elixiang.

Matthew still found out how the more difficult handwriting that Erica had said was written.

indeed.Each square is more like a painting to Matthew, and it seems that the painting itself has a lot to express.Each painting represents an independent meaning, complex and special.Every stroke is tangled and ambiguously intertwined, yet distinct from each other.

Really like that guy's style.

Matthew just looked at the translated name on the phone screen, which represented a part of Erica.A part that will always exist without much meaning.This hollow part is the only part Matthew can hold in his hand.

Matthew glanced at the paper bag on the corner of the table, which contained Victoria's Secret underwear.It was picked by Kira, and it has been placed there for a few days.It seems that if you don't throw it away, you can only continue to put it on.

It was the gift Matthew had planned to make up for tearing Erica's underwear.However, what Matthew regrets even more now is that he has thrown away the Erica's underwear that he had ripped up before.Even the denim dress Erica wore that night has been relaundered.And the sheets and quilt covers on my bed... were all replaced with new ones.

Matthew hated the new crap... because he couldn't smell anything about Erica anymore.

Maybe only in memory.

I haven't made a promise to a girl in years. Matthew vaguely remembers the promise he made for the first time just to hurry into the battlefield with the first girl he liked... At that time, he felt that the promise was more like foreplay before sex, troublesome and dispensable .

But for Erica, Matthew felt like he wanted to promise her something.It's just that she never spoke, and maybe she didn't care whether she spoke or not.And, now the words.He probably couldn't speak anymore.

No promises are worth anything, but they will be broken by time.what a fucking time...

I didn't even have time to tell the guy about the broken promises, she was taken away by time and god...

How could you be taken away so easily...taken away from me...

Matthew leaned his body on the bed against the wall in pain, and raised his head.Suddenly, when I raised my head like this for the last time, I could see Erica's naked body, feel the warmth of her sitting on my body, and stare into her eyes without any scruples.

Matthew knocked on the bed angrily and sadly.Then he bent his right leg, and casually rested his right arm on his knee after knocking hard on the bed.He lowered his head and leaned gently on his arm.

Then there was a knock on the door.

It was just two light blows, and the sound of knuckles clasping the door.

"Go away." Matthew looked up and cursed.

Then, keep your head down.Continue to maintain the same posture as before.

However, the door was still opened.

It's Dominic.

"What happened to you." Dominic noticed Matthew's strangeness from the moment Matthew entered the door.

"Nothing the fuck happened." Matthew looked up, taking a look at Dominic. "Go away."

Dominic suddenly felt familiar with Matthew's upturned face.It seems that such an expression has been clearly seen somewhere.

Yes.That was my original face.It was his own face when he learned that he had died.

"What happened to you." Dominic repeated the question just now, thinking about it again. "Or, what happened to who."

"Shut up." Matthew rested his head in his right arm.

"Telling me to shut up is not going to solve the problem." Dominic said in his usual unemotional tone.

Hearing Dominic's muttering, Matthew got angry for no reason, and suddenly stood up from the bed, rushed to Dominic and punched Dominic.

A few seconds after Dominic was hit by Matthew, he punched Matthew in the stomach, which was not light.

Dominic punched Matthew in the face again when Matthew was bent a little bit by Dominic's punch.

All of Matthew's anger was on the verge of that.

Forgetting the two hits on the body and face by Dominic, Matthew frantically shook his fist at Dominic.It seems to be fighting against the fact that Erica died suddenly, and it seems to want to use violent means to restore the situation that can no longer be reproduced.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Matthew and Dominic, who were covered in wounds and covered in blood, finally fell to the ground exhausted from the beating.

"What are you?" Matthew looked at Dominic whose nose bridge was swollen by himself.

"It's safer to fight me than anyone else." Dominic saw Matthew's lips and forehead still oozing blood.

"Because it's you, so I won't hit too hard." Matthew smiled, and at the same time his lips were torn and more blood oozes out.

"Because you wouldn't think of killing me with one shot." Dominic looked at Matthew and said calmly.

"Humph..." Matthew got up from the ground.

"I saw the gun in your car." Dominic looked up to Matthew, still sitting on the ground.

"This is America. It's normal to have a gun." Matthew was about to walk out the door.

"Wait, Matthew." Dominic called to Matthew. "I will go with you."

Matthew was stunned for a few seconds by Dominic's last words.

"Where are you going with me?" Matthew asked deliberately. "Are you going to recruit prostitutes?"

"It doesn't matter." Dominic said indifferently as he stood up from his side. "Should be exciting. Take a gun and go get a whore."

"My preferences are quite different from yours." Matthew spat the blood seeping into his mouth on the ground. "I only like women."

"Do you only like that one woman?" Dominic replied coldly.

"What about yourself?" Matthew didn't directly respond positively to Dominic.

"To have those days with him anyway." Dominic looked at Matthew. "It's worth keeping me going."

"Where to go?" Matthew asked.

"Go down. Meet someone else," Dominic continued. "Sometimes, you have to learn to give in enough. If you already have it, you should be satisfied."

"Then take it as a kind of shame for me not to give in." Matthew deliberately put on his usual smile.But it seems to be a little forced to laugh.

"Then stop being so mean." Dominic said coldly.

"Sometimes being mean is not something you ask for, it's something you're born with." Matthew was about to walk out of the room. "You're lucky not to have inherited that."

"And." Matthew said firmly. "I want to have. Don't live."
