Dangerous Contract

"Ah Zhen!" Su Lang immediately recognized the figure from behind. At this point in time, there was no one but Tan Zhen who was hiding under the shadow of a tree to eavesdrop on his conversation with Wan Fang.

Tan Zhen ran a few steps, stepped on the sidewalk and strode forward instead.

Su Lang chased after him, only feeling the cold wind.

He pulled Tan Zhen's arm from behind, but Tan Zhen ignored him and continued to walk.

Su Lang simply ran forward, blocking Tan Zhen's way.

"Ah Zhen!" Su Lang never expected to see Tan Zhen in this situation, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

Tan Zhen quickly adjusted his mood, grinning with crooked eyes, just like in the past.

He stretched out his hand to pinch Su Lang's finger, put it in his pocket and covered it: "...why don't you wear gloves, your hands are so cold."

"Ha..." Su Lang let out a long breath, and the white breath came out from his mouth and nose. The corners of his eyes were slightly reddened due to the temperature, and he pinched the opponent's hand behind his back in Tan Zhenyi's pocket. , stepped forward and took the man into his arms.

"Ah Zhen...I..."

"Don't say anything," Tan Zhen interrupted Su Lang, and just let him hug him, "I'm a little hungry, let's go eat something?"

"Well," Su Lang got up, sniffed his nose, and smiled at Tan Zhen, as if the scene that happened before didn't exist at all, "Okay, let's go eat something."

"When I came here just now, I saw a hot pot restaurant. Where else..." Tan Zhen stopped at the intersection, pretending to think.

Su Lang waited patiently.

When the traffic lights changed, Su Lang took Tan Zhen's hand and said slowly, "Go back to the hotel, I'm ready."

So Tan Zhen put away his expression of pretending to think, smiled, nodded and followed Su Lang silently.

He has walked this street countless times.It is very kind to come back after many years.In short, compared to the "home" he didn't want to set foot in, it made people feel better.

It seems to be back to the time when I was in middle school. It was almost dark and he was still working in the snack bar. He usually hid in the back kitchen and helped the proprietress deal with the vegetables, sweet water and garbage for the next day.

He still remembered the specific location of that store, but it had changed to another signboard when he came here just now.

Along the way, Su Lang held Tan Zhen's hand in silence, and Tan Zhen was also secretly in a daze.

He suddenly didn't know why he wanted to come back, or why he went to City A in the first place, why he had to suffer so much these years, why he didn't want an easier way to live, and he would secretly fight with what God arranged for him. Life is dead!

If, many years ago, he dropped out of school early and stayed at home, guarding the small mahjong parlor in Wanfang, helping the card players run errands to buy some tobacco, alcohol and groceries, wouldn't he be happier now?

Because I haven't seen a better life, so I enjoy the arrangement of fate peacefully, don't chase or fight, don't know the truth, just keep the little bit of freedom left.

"Ah Zhen," Su Lang squeezed Tan Zhen's fingers tightly, and said, "I'm sorry, I asked someone to inquire about your family when you were in a coma before... because I never heard you say anything about it. However, when you were on the hospital bed, you thought that you should invite them to take a look..."

"Well," Tan Zhen continued to keep a smile on his face. He clearly knew that Su Lang did this out of good intentions, so he couldn't find any reason for his displeasure, "I understand."

"The situation over there... Actually, I know something about it," Su Lang said, turning his head slightly to look at Tan Zhen, afraid of poking the other's sad things, so he was a little cautious, "But I think that's all in the past Let's put it down, shall we?"

"Well," Tan Zhen's mouth continued to grin, and he blinked his eyes as if trying to show relief, "Okay."

But he knew that some things could never be let go.

Since the third year of junior high school, Tan Zhen and Qiao Si's group had a fight, and they were kicked out of the house by Wan Fang.

At that time, Tan Zhen always felt that his mother had some difficulties. Maybe it was because she grew up to spend too much money, or maybe her husband was in a bad mood after she died, but there was always a reason why she treated him like that.

After Tan Zhen received the admission letter from a key high school, the first thing he thought of was not to run home to announce the good news in front of his father's portrait, or to say to his mother, "I finally passed the exam".

Instead, he wandered the streets silently, looking for shops that recruited part-time workers.

He asked one after another, either because he thought he was young, or because he didn't know how to work just looking at him.In the end, only a snack bar across the road from his home took him in.

How could he think that as long as he was admitted to university, got a diploma and found a decent job, he would be able to live a good life? At that time, he clearly didn't even understand what a good life was.

Tan Zhen has been busy in the snack bar for the whole summer vacation. There are no holidays, no travel, no tutoring, only tiredness.After school started, I took my wages and paid the tuition, but I still lingered.

The aunt in the snack bar always compares Tan Zhen with her son, and she feels even more distressed at this time. They are all on the same street, and she still knows something about Tan Zhen's family.

So Tan Zhen settled down less than 200 meters away from his home.Throughout my high school life, I attended classes during the day and worked as a helper at the snack bar at night.

All of these belonged to the three years of good times that a boy should enjoy, and there was never a day that really belonged to Tan Zhen.Now say let go, how can you let go.

Su Lang took a taxi, covered the edge of the car frame with his hands and sent Tan Zhen into the back row, and squeezed in himself, and the two went back to the hotel together.

Tan Zhen used to feel humble and dirty, especially when facing Su Lang.Before falling in love with Su Lang unknowingly, he tried his best to convince himself that he was just using his body to make a shameless transaction with the other party.Just like any previous transaction.

After Su Lang expressed his love for Tan Zhen, for a period of time, he has been living in the inferiority complex that he could not get rid of in his previous life, and no matter what, he felt that he could not be worthy of this person who saved his life in the fire. .

It is the fragmented memories of childhood that support him to continue to be with Su Lang, and even venture back to Q City with him.He thought, at such a young age, we gave our hearts to each other, so the subsequent sludge and filth can all be written off.

However, now, Ms. Wan Fang, whom he used to serve as his own mother, said in front of Su Lang, "My son is very valuable", and the tone was clearly that he was just treating him as a child from the very beginning. Items!

This shameful self-esteem has no sense of existence in the past many years, but it is bursting with strength at this moment!

Tan Zhen never expected that on the second day after returning to Q City, he would be hit by friends and "mother" one after another.

It turns out that for so many years, he has come to serve as his own mother, and those who want to do their best to satisfy the other party's financial needs just treat him as a valuable thing; Money is only because people benefit first!

Tan Zhen has never been so lost. He feels that he is cold from the inside out. In the cold winter night in the north, he is more chilled than the snow on the roadside.

The author has something to say: Good night, see you tomorrow!
