win or lose game

When the bar was lively, the familiar atmosphere made even Shao Yigui, who came to talk about business, unconsciously relax a little. He had already drank two dry martinis, and then reached out to take the Gibson from Wang Nanyue.At this moment, many people had already drunk a lot, and a person passed by drunkenly, almost knocking over the wine in Shao Yigui's hand.The agile Shao Yigui dodged in time and took a sip of Gibson.

The taste of Gibson is very similar to that of dry martini, and it is also sharp, but it may also be related to the addition of lemon zest, and the taste is different.Shao Yigui seldom drank Gibson, so he had no idea that there were other "ingredients" added to this glass of wine.

Wang Nanyue watched Shao Yigui drink the glass of wine: "Yigui, we were so happy before, today, let's relive our old dreams, okay?"

"I don't intend to live in old dreams, I'm living in the present moment leading to the future I want." Shao Yigui thinks he doesn't drink much, he understands his drinking capacity, at most it's because he drinks less now and lacks exercise, But anyway, he shouldn't have gotten drunk so quickly.He tried his best to clear his mind, "Nan Yue, you should also look forward, look, there will be someone else there."

"Just tonight, okay?"

Wang Nanyue's deliberately provocative voice became more and more unreal to Shao Yigui. He felt that the other party was a bit like a female ghost in Liao Zhai, and the way he spoke sounded a bit pervasive.

Shao Yigui finally became alert, and he asked, "What did you give me to drink?" He wanted to ask sharply, but his tone was weak.

Wang Nanyue began to lean into his arms, "I promise you will be happy too." He stroked Shao Yigui's chest and said.

Shao Yigui wanted to stretch out his hand to push him away, but he couldn't do what he wanted.He wanted to stand up, but his conscious will was getting farther and farther away from him...

Shao Yigui woke up with a start.

in a strange room.Obviously, this is a hotel room.A long time ago, he had some similar experiences.At that time, he would naturally not be as frightened and regretful as he was at this moment.

Even if he was drugged or drunk, he could still vaguely recall some vague fragments that seemed like a dream or reality.

—He must have been drugged!He remembered his crazy desire...he called out Tang Linwen's name.However, that person was naturally Wang Nanyue.Wang Nanyue who drugged him!

Shao Yigui has always believed that sexual love should not be interpreted too much, and it has nothing to do with loyalty or not.He didn't even take loyalty seriously, but now he thinks completely differently.He couldn't help thinking that what he'd done was terribly serious—even if it wasn't something he had done—and he couldn't help feeling terribly guilty and terrified.

There was no one else in the room, so I don't know where Wang Nanyue went.Before facing Wang Nanyue, Shao Yigui needed time to calm down.It seemed like a panicky flight, but it was all he could do.Among the things he had to spend time thinking about, dealing with Wang Nanyue didn't even rank high.

Putting on the crumpled clothes quickly, Shao Yigui walked out of the room.

When he left the hotel, he had no idea where he was going.It's not that I don't know what to do wisely.Now he can't think clearly about anything, so he should go back to his residence, use time to sort out his emotions and thoughts, and then find a solution.However, thinking about it that way, the address he reported to the driver in the taxi was Tang Linwen's apartment.

He visited here less than 24 hours ago. At that time, he was full of expectations and had an optimistic and positive attitude towards the future. Unexpectedly, in just one day, the situation changed so much, and his mood was completely opposite.

Shao Yigui stood silently in front of that door for a long time.He was worried that if he left here, he would never be able to muster up the courage to confess again. Although he looked forward and backward, after thinking twice, he finally knocked on the door.

It took Tang Linwen quite a while to open the door, so long that Shao Yigui had to admire himself for not taking this opportunity to escape.

Behind an open door, a person who is usually moody looks out of sorts.He only said yesterday afternoon that he didn't want Shao Yigui to come back to disturb him. Shao Yigui failed to make him do what he wanted for more than a day, which obviously made it difficult for Shao Yigui to become a welcome guest at this moment.

"Can I go in?" Shao Yigui tried his best to look pitiful, but then again, he didn't need to spend too much effort on this matter. In his opinion, he was already extremely miserable without acting skills.

Tang Linwen silently took a step back and let Shao Yigui into the room.The owner of the room, who usually paid attention to hospitality, didn't ask Shao Yigui if he wanted tea this time, and he didn't invite Shao Yigui to sit down. Instead, he sat down on the sofa.

Shao Yigui, who was not allowed to sit down, felt guilty that he was being punished to stand, and stood there in a daze for a while, not knowing how to speak.

Usually Tang Lin asked very calmly, but today he couldn't hold back and opened his mouth: "You must have something to say when you come to me, why don't you sit down and come directly to the topic?"

Shao Yigui thought it was better for him to stand, so that Tang Linwen would regret asking him to sit down later. "Let me just say that." He stood still and hesitated.

"So, are you going to say something that you think I will drive you away immediately?" Tang Lin asked simply before Shao Yigui could finish speaking.

His judgments are always accurate, Shao Yigui smiled wryly. "If only I could see people as accurately as you do," he said.

This time, Tang Lin asked no answer, and he didn't urge him again. Sitting on the sofa, he just looked up at Shao Yigui calmly, waiting quietly for his intention from this topic.

"I know that this matter is completely different from the nature of chopping a cherry tree, and I don't expect to be forgiven easily... On the contrary, I thought that if I didn't say anything, maybe that would prevent you from feeling uncomfortable..." Shao Yigui said The self he knew had never been so timid and evasive. He listened to his self-confession that he didn't know the so-called, and it was getting farther and farther away. Then, he took a deep breath and finally said decisively, "But I know that deception is more I won't get your forgiveness, so - I slept with Wang Nanyue last night."

Even if Tang Lin asked, he was stunned by Shao Yigui's straightforward words.

Shao Yigui himself was not much better, he wanted to explain the result clearly, but unexpectedly he ambiguous the whole process.

"The truth is completely different from what I said..." He didn't use his mouth very well in front of Tang Linwen, but now it was the most clumsy moment.Shao Yigui was anxious because he couldn't explain the whole thing clearly.

After listening to this explanation, Tang Linwen's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes obviously cooled down a little bit.

"I know it's my fault, but I was wrong because I saw Wang Nanyue wrong." Shao Yigui eagerly reviewed, "I swear this is definitely not what I want. This may sound too hypocritical or even mean, but, just me Subjectively speaking, I am also a victim." He was really anxious, and the spoilers even described himself as a victim.To be honest, just this second before, Shao Yigui couldn't believe that he could speak like that.

Obviously, Tang Linwen couldn't believe it.His expression faltered a bit, and various indiscernible emotions flooded his eyes fixedly looking at Shao Yigui, but soon, his eyes softened, and soon there was even a trace of sympathy.

Shao Yigui felt inexplicably that Tang Linwen was not sympathizing with his experience, but on the contrary, he seemed to be sympathizing with his IQ.

"You are indeed wrong in your judgment." In the end, Tang Lin asked and pointed out, "But you are not wrong in judging the wrong person, you are wrong in wrong things."

Shao Yigui couldn't understand.

"What did I do wrong?"

Tang Lin asked to start from the beginning: "I didn't go back to my place after I left the gym yesterday. I changed my mind and went to the bar I used to go to."

"——It's just..." Surprised, Shao Yigui interrupted unconsciously, but he quickly fell silent and listened to Tang Linwen continue.

"I sat there for a while, but unexpectedly, I turned around and saw you walking into the bar with Wang Nanyue." Having said that, Tang Lin asked hesitantly, he was rarely so confident, with a trace of guilt, "I think I knew what you were doing, so I hid...overheard your conversation."

"If I were you, I would do that too." Shao Yigui told the truth, but his purpose of speaking like this was just to comfort the other party.

Tang Linwen continued slowly: "I don't want you to discover my existence, so when I saw Wang Nanyue drugging your wine, it was inconvenient for me to come forward, so I had to find someone and ask him to try to overturn the glass of wine with money. .”

Shao Yigui thought of the guest who seemed to be drunk. At that time, he was glad that his drink had not been spilled. Now, he realized that Tang Linwen's thought was wasted.He continued to think along this line of thought. At that time, Tang Linwen witnessed everything. Even though he failed to prevent Shao Yigui from drinking that cup of Gibson, how could he have watched Wang Nanyue's goal succeed?

...So, that person...is really Tang Lin asking?

Shao Yigui's heartbeat quickened suddenly, and it was hard to explain whether it was surprise or joy. He had experienced many battles, and at this moment, his face was hot, and he was at a loss just because of a guess.

"It's not what you think." Tang Linwen, who was observing Shao Yigui's face, said with an unchanged expression.

Shao Yigui can assure you that the ups and downs in life are nothing more than this.

Tang Linwen went on to say, "I called the family doctor of the Tang family. You were taken to the hotel by Wang Nanyue. Fortunately, we arrived in time and drove him away. Then, Dr. Xu metabolized those medicines for you."

In this case, it can indeed explain the environment in which Shao Yigui woke up this morning, as well as his disheveled clothes. However, Shao Yigui remembered those pictures, although they were fragmented, they were clear and real.

"There's really nothing? But I remember something..." Shao Yigui said uncertainly.

Tang Linwen's face darkened: "That's a dream. Obviously you have thoughts and dreams, so you dreamed of having a relationship with Wang Nanyue."

Shao Yigui couldn't care less about making fun of Tang Linwen's obviously jealous remarks, he saw June Feixue in front of him.

"I didn't dream of Wang Nanyue, I dreamed of you."

This sentence made Shao Yigui's clumsy mouth break a new record.He secretly looked at the person he was attracted to.

Tang Linwen subdued all his expressions and said with a cold expression: "Just now you were sure to tell me that you slept with Wang Nanyue, please review this sentence and tell me who you dreamed about."

Shao Yigui decided to give up his IQ, which was completely offline today. "I was too scared this morning, and I haven't recovered yet. Can I sit down?" The only remaining card in his hand is to pretend to be pitiful.

Tang Lin didn't seem to be happy with the question, but after a little hesitation, he finally nodded.

Shao Yigui was very happy that he was not driven away.His cell phone rang at this moment.

On the screen of the mobile phone that was taken out of his pocket, the name displayed was Tang Hexiao.Shao Yigui reported "It's He Xiao" to Tang Linwen very honestly, and then connected the phone.

Tang Linwen, who was on the opposite sofa, didn't know what he was thinking of. For a moment, he could see that he wanted to prevent Shao Yigui from answering the call. Tang Linwen could usually do what he wanted to do, but this time it seemed that he himself gave up first. With an attitude that seemed to be resigned to his fate, he leaned against the back of the sofa and relaxed his sitting posture.

Shao Yigui was a little puzzled by the other party's reaction, so he answered the phone almost absent-mindedly. "He Xiao?"

"I didn't pay much attention yesterday. Is my brother in good health recently?"

Tang Hexiao's first sentence successfully captured Shao Yigui's attention.Shao Yigui frowned subconsciously, "Why do you ask that?" As he spoke, he looked up at the person in front of him.

He was too flustered and confused today, so it was only at this moment that he realized that Tang Linwen was not in a good state today. He was obviously out of breath and his spirit was not much better.

"Dr. Xu called me to ask me just now." Tang Hexiao explained the cause and effect, "Dr. Xu said that my brother called him last night to say something was wrong, but Dr. Xu was on vacation in Thailand and couldn't make it. After hearing this, my brother said it was all right. Yes. Dr. Xu questioned him, but he just said it’s okay. Dr. Xu was a little worried, so he called me this morning to ask about my recovery, and then asked how my elder brother is doing. I think I saw my elder brother yesterday, and he seems to be in good spirits. Nothing?"

"Don't worry, he's fine." Shao Yigui's words were correct to a certain extent, but at the same time they were not accurate.The situation was too complicated, and he didn't even have time to think clearly, let alone how to answer it clearly.

Tang Hexiao never lied, so he was very easy to fool. Shao Yigui said casually, and he was relieved, and his original worries were resolved in the teasing of a joke: "Actually, there is really nothing that is my turn to worry about."

Originally, Shao Yigui was happy to listen to the other party's jokes in such a tone as if he had handed over his brother to him, but the latest discovery made him eager to have a good talk with Tang Linwen. "I still have some things here, let's not talk about it."

"What else can you do besides my brother?" Tang Hexiao teased again, and was about to close the line, but suddenly thought of it, and blurted out in surprise, "——so you weren't at my brother's place early in the morning, right? You guys last night ?” He was so curious that he couldn’t help asking about Do Not Listen.

Shao Yigui, who has always been frank, doesn't mind answering honestly, but——

"I have to figure this out myself first." As he spoke, he hung up the phone first.

Tang Lin asked if he could hear the voice on the other end of the phone, but Shao Yigui's short sentences were more than sufficient basis for his judgment. Before Shao Yigui hung up the phone, he said first: "When I was looking for Dr. Xu yesterday, I found him I went to Thailand, so I went to another doctor."

Shao Yigui instinctively wanted to ask who the doctor was and what his phone number was, but in the end he held back.Their battle, from the initial reluctance, to the willingness to admit defeat later, to this day, when Dang and Tang Linwen have a different stand, he chooses to take the initiative to stand by the other side.

"It's as good as it is." He didn't expose the lie, Tang Linwen didn't want to admit it, so he pretended it wasn't true.Originally, he wanted to let go of this topic completely, but there was one thing he couldn't let go of, "I'm just worried, the wind blew up last night, and the weather suddenly turned cold. Will you catch a cold and have a fever? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

On a fiery day in July, there is no such thing as "sudden cold weather", Shao Yigui opened his eyes and talked nonsense, because he vaguely remembered his crazy actions due to the power of the medicine.

Tang Linwen, who could almost be said to have a stern face in order to block all expressions, moved slightly at this moment, his eyes fixed on Shao Yigui, and a confused and hesitant look flashed across him. After a long silence, he said: "The lie that will be exposed sooner or later is There's no need to say, originally I didn't intend to do such a superfluous stupid thing, but it just became like that when I said it."

In fact, this sentence can be summed up in only three words - "I am shy".Shao Yigui didn't dare to let the other party know how cute he thought the other party who explained in this way was, and he didn't dare to smile blatantly. He took a lot of effort to manage his emotions, and then said solemnly: "I guess you don't want to go to the hospital, but, I Wondering, do you need a doctor?"

"I am fine."

Shao Yigui was willing to believe all the lies Tang Lin asked, but he couldn't easily believe this one sentence. This person was used to keeping silent when he was sick, so he could only try to get closer to the patient who always hid alone.

"I can see..." Shao Yigui didn't know what to say, he was as shy as a virgin, he didn't know how to express that he wanted to confirm whether the other party was injured.

Tang Lin asked without waiting for him to finish, the former answered very quickly and resolutely. "No." His tone was stern and solemn, but his ears were red as if they could bleed.

Shao Yigui was inexplicably relieved that at least someone was more like a virgin than him.Thinking of this, he was shocked——

The reversal of the plot that seemed to escape from death made him patronize and rejoice, and he had no time to consider whether the actual situation was what Tang Linwen wanted.He once said that he was a victim, but in reality, it is very likely that Tang Linwen was a victim at all.

His dread had never been so strong that he could almost shudder uncontrollably.

"Am I..." Shao Yigui listened to his small, unsteady voice, "Forcing you?"

Tang Lin asked quickly and replied with an unchanged expression, "If this is the case, even if it is attempted, there is no guarantee that you have not done similar things, or may have done similar things. I must have called the police." He answered Shao Yigui's question, At the same time, it also mentioned the past events of the past ten years.There is no need to say the word "thank you" explicitly, Shao Yigui can hear it.

Shao Yigui felt that this was the happy rebirth of a survivor. If he was allowed to express his thoughts at this moment, he would thank the motherland and the party.

"Since you are willing," the person who is usually not so thick-skinned smiled with shameless courage at the moment, "then can I ask you to be responsible for me?"

Tang Linwen finally glared at him angrily, and reminded: "I may also call the police because someone touches the porcelain."
