Accustomed to the fact that too many contacts were left out of politeness, Xu Ning did not expect that there would be a follow-up when he ran into Qiao Liang in the hospital that day.

It was at noon that he received a call from Qiao Liang, who asked him if he was free and if he could have dinner together on Saturday.

After leaving Lin Pengfei for a few days, when he realized that he was no longer obsessed with what Lin Pengfei was doing all day long, he realized that he should have his own life.

For so long, he has sacrificed his freedom to that flawed love.He hasn't put his heart into maintaining his social circle for a long time, let alone having an absolutely relaxing weekend.

He agreed without hesitation and confirmed the exact time and place with Qiao Liang. After hanging up the phone, he still couldn't stop laughing.

Regarding Suiqian’s manuscript review, the publishing house and the original author took a step back in the end, deleting one of the two controversial points and keeping the other, which is considered a solution.

During the temporary work vacancy, Xu Ning was transferred to be in charge of a magazine temporarily, and his dedication to work made him more real than ever.

On Saturday night, he went to the appointment on time, and before going to that restaurant, he knew that Xu Yaoyang was with Qiao Liang.

Xu Yaoyang is also his old acquaintance, and seriously, it's still his first love.

First love without results.

At that time, he unilaterally fell in love with Xu Yaoyang who had already promised Qiao Liang his heart, which really caused a lot of trouble.

Looking back now, Xu Yaoyang took over most of his youthful joys.Appearing in sight again, it was no longer the boy in white shirt.

Time is best at stealing things without knowing it, whether it's cherished or abandoned, when you think about it and look back, it's gone, including his affection for Xu Yaoyang.

The advantage of being an old friend is that there will be no restraint after seeing each other for many years. After a brief greeting, the three of them took their seats.

Qiao Liang is a straightforward and enthusiastic person, and has always been.And Xu Yaoyang is still unsmiling, cold on the outside and hot on the inside.We still kept in touch with each other occasionally when we first entered college, but we didn’t hear from each other after that.

"You haven't changed much, you're still fair and thin, even the style of your glasses is the same." Qiao Liang looked at Xu Ning carefully and said with his tongue.

Xu Ning smiled, and glanced at Qiao Liang and Xu Yaoyang: "You haven't changed, you still love each other so much."

Qiao Liang pouted and joked: "It takes a long time to get used to it, and I'm too busy now, so I don't want to change it."

Xu Yaoyang added water to the glass in front of him, and echoed with a slight smile: "What do you want to change it to?"

"No matter what, I have to be the opposite of you, and experience a different life."

Xu Ning took the words: "Then you can't even watch it."

While chatting with a smile on his face, Qiao Liang suddenly mentioned Lin Pengfei, making Xu Ning stop smiling.

"Okay, I won't ask further after seeing your reaction." Qiao Liang waved his hands again and again.

Xu Yaoyang looked at Xu Ning: "Separated?"

Xu Ning pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes."

People who haven't seen each other again for many years always talk about the past, and Qiao Liang brought the topic to Lin Pengfei. Xu Ning was not surprised, after all, he and Lin Pengfei were together in an open and honest manner at that time.

What he fears most is that he will end up with nothing after all his hard work. All the days he spent on Lin Pengfei will never return.He will not be disappointed in love just because he is broken up. Isn't there a pair of enviable lovers sitting in front of him who have been inseparable for many years.

The topic became wider and more comfortable. After learning that Xu Yaoyang was working in the police department, Xu Ning was conditioned to fear, and then he laughed at himself because he must have been led astray by Lin Pengfei's side all these years.

After eating, they sat for a long time before they separated. The two wanted to see him off, but Xu Ning refused.

"I live not far from here, just across the central square, please pay attention to safety on the way back."

Qiao Liang didn't want to embarrass Xu Ning, so he opened the car door and sat in: "Then let's go, and we will get together often in the future."

Xu Ning nodded with a smile: "Okay."

If possible, Xu Ning really hopes that such relaxing and joyful gatherings in private can be held more often.He watched Xu Yaoyang drive the car out of the parking lot and head towards home.

When he got home, he couldn't wait to wash off the sweat on his body. The first stop was the bathroom.

While washing vigorously, jelly squeezed in through the crack of the door.This little guy doesn't like to take a bath, probably because he feels that he is not happy at this moment.Just pick up your favorite toy and throw it at his feet.Then he ran out without stopping for a moment.

When Xu Ning bent down to pick up the toy, the phone rang.

He thought it was Suiqian who said he would contact him at night to confirm the outline of the new work, but it wasn't.

The string of numbers he deleted was still so profound.He didn't answer and hung up.

Then a text message sounded.The same number, two simple words: open the door.

Xu Ning threw away the phone, dried himself quickly, and put on a bathrobe to check.It's not a problem for Lin Pengfei to find him, he just doesn't understand why this person came to him again.

Two days ago, when he went to the suburbs to see his mother, he was very nervous. He was afraid that Lin Pengfei would still be waiting for him there. He was relieved that he didn't see anyone, thinking that there would really be no more intersections.But the man came here on such a night without warning.

Xu Ning didn't even look at it and said through the door: "If you have anything to say, just say so."

Lin Pengfei's low but clear voice came from outside the door: "You know the consequences of not opening the door."

This threat was very effective. Xu Ning didn't want to disturb the neighbors upstairs and downstairs, let alone attract the security of the community, so he had no choice but to unlock the door.

When Jelly saw the people outside the door, she immediately ran back to the inner room, leaving only Xu Ning standing there silent.

Lin Pengfei, who was wearing a suit jacket, leaned against the door frame and paused before stepping in.At first, Xu Ning thought that this person had drunk too much, but when he took a closer look, there was a dark red patch on the lower part of the slim-fit suit vest.His pupils dilated: "You...you are bleeding."

Lin Pengfei looked down and continued walking slowly: "I know."

He dragged his long legs and sat down on the sofa. Perhaps the pain did not allow him to sit up straight, so he could only slump backwards, his brows furrowed on his pale face, and he stopped moving after taking a deep breath.

"If I die, will you cry for me?"

Xu Ning turned around and went to rummage through the TV cabinet: "I don't cry too much for you."

"I knew you'd have a medicine kit."

Xu Ning not only prepared a medicine box, but also had the habit of pulling the curtains before treating Lin Pengfei's wound.

When he went to draw the curtains, he saw five black SUVs parked downstairs. The doors and windows were closed and it looked like there was no one inside, but he knew that there must be people inside.

In the past few years, due to territory, money and power, there have been too many times when there was a disagreement. In Lin Pengfei's business, people who were smiling one second may turn against each other the next.Based on what Xu Ning knew, he was sure that something must have happened.

He couldn't go to the hospital because of the gunshot wound, even the small clinic was unreliable, and even though he had a doctor by his side, he still ran to him. Xu Ning even felt that Lin Pengfei was injured and wanted to abduct him back.

He didn't care about other things, he wanted to treat the wound first, and squatted in front of Lin Pengfei with the opened medicine box in his hand. As soon as the scissors cut the fabric, Lin Pengfei raised his chin, looked at him briefly, and kissed him without hesitation. .

Xu Ning pushed hard, Lin Pengfei's injury gave him the advantage, and he quickly lost control.

Lin Pengfei wiped the corner of his mouth: "Come back with me, don't stay where I can't touch you."

Xu Ning, who took two steps back, shook his head. He had struggled for so long to defeat himself, and he couldn't give up all his efforts.

It was sincere not to want Lin Pengfei to die, and it was also sincere not to want them to return to their previous relationship.He could define Lin Pengfei as a friend and relative, but he could no longer involve love.

He is redeeming himself, not that he is ruthless.

"I won't change my mind."

Lin Pengfei overturned the medicine box at hand, and said in a furious voice, "The good one won't change."

He didn't look at Xu Ning again, and when he went to touch the phone in his pocket, he touched the wound, and his frown deepened.

Xu Ning knew what this man wanted to do, and quickly said, "Please go out."

Lin Pengfei dialed the phone, and after the other party answered in an instant, he said, "Come up."

Xu Ning had a bad premonition. All kinds of predictions in his mind about the direction of the next thing made him flustered, and he didn't know what to do.

The continuous sound of footsteps in the corridor became heavier and closer, and he hurriedly said to the person on the sofa, "You're never finished!"

Lin Pengfei sat there with his eyes closed, and the sweat dripping from his forehead was enough to show that he was enduring the pain.

The strange face was extremely agile, he pried the door in, so fast that Xu Ning thought he hadn't closed the door just now.After the door opened wide, two people came straight to him who was in a resisting gesture without saying a word.He kept waving his arms: "What are you doing! Let me go!"

After Xu Ning was taken out, Lin Pengfei slowly got up and followed him. Someone came up to help him, but he pushed him away.Just walking up the stairs one step at a time, with a straight back, as if uninjured.

Xu Ning was forcibly taken downstairs, still wearing a bathrobe, and was stuffed into the back seat of the car in the middle like luggage.

Lin Pengyu, who was studying abroad, was also in the car. Lin Pengfei's younger brother should have just been picked up from the airport. The consignment note on the schoolbag hadn't been picked up yet. After seeing Xu Ning who was stuffed into the car, he smiled meanly: "Yo, Isn't this sister-in-law?"

Xu Ning slammed on the locked door, and yelled, "Lin Pengfei! You fucking let me out!"

He yelled a few times to no avail, Lin Pengfei didn't take the same car with him.The scenery outside the window started to move, he hammered the back of the driver's seat, and the driver immediately changed to lean forward and drive the car.

Xu Ning calmed down, and within a few seconds he started banging his head on the car window. He wanted to force the car to stop, he wanted to go back, he didn't want to be taken away.

"Forget it, even if you kill my brother, I won't let you go." Lin Pengyu said while playing with his phone with his head down.

Xu Ning still didn't stop hitting, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but there was nothing he could do.His last slam with all his strength left blood on the still window.

"Fuck!" Lin Pengyu quickly pulled the limp Xu Ning over, and shouted to the co-pilot, "Look at him! Did he crash to death!"
