[ABO] The Sparrow in the Threshold

"This... so..."

The editor-in-chief of the tabloid office tremblingly took the newly typed draft out of the typewriter, held it in both hands and handed it to Yinque, not daring to raise his eyes during the whole process, for fear that one of his eyes would offend him and cause disaster.

The employee on duty today is a foreigner, and he has not been in this business for a long time, so it is normal not to recognize Yinque's face; but the editor-in-chief knows, not only knows, but also fabricated rumors about him; just walked into the office, and saw the person coming clearly When he saw his face, he was almost so frightened that his legs went limp.

This is already the fourth draft he has written.

The rumored Cheng Yinque looked very laid-back. When he was writing, he sat quietly at his desk with an iced tea and flipped through the documents. From time to time, he would bow his head to take a sip, and from time to time he would stop to smoke a cigarette without any rush.

When the first few copies were handed over to him, he scanned them at a glance, kneaded them into balls, and threw down the sentence "rewrite" casually.

Seeing that the sun was rising, the editor-in-chief even suspected that if he wrote until dark, he might not be able to pass Cheng Yinque's request.

Omega heard his words, looked away from the document, and took the manuscript paper that still smelled of ink in his hand.

"...'Earlier, Yin Qiansui took the four princesses on a trip together, and the lonely man and widow did not return for several days; and Yin Qiansui was not accompanied by this beautiful woman. According to reliable sources, Yin Qiansui once took three Omega to haunt the port of Maria '," Unexpectedly, Yinque said a few words with a smile, and finally raised his eyebrows and looked at the editor-in-chief, his eyes were lazy and charming, "Writing as if you have seen it with your own eyes...Reliable news, how reliable is it? "

The editor-in-chief was shaking like chaff: "I, I...Master Cheng, oh no, Mrs. Yin, I really can't help it, this is...that's just, I made it up...otherwise you say how to write it, I will write it how……"

"It's well edited." Before he finished speaking, Yinque suddenly got up and slapped the manuscript paper on the table, "That's it, I hope everyone will talk about it tomorrow, do you understand? ?”

"Ming...understand."

The beautiful Omega didn't say anything, put her hands in her pockets and walked away gracefully.

The editor-in-chief paid attention to Yinque's attendants from the corner of his eye, and he raised his head with a sigh of relief after they collected the documents scattered on the table and took them away.On the table were only the gossip he made up and Omega's unfinished iced tea.

-

Yinque closed his eyes for a while in the car - it was really tiring to spend the whole morning looking at those tedious accounts.But in order to find out exactly which businesses under Qianqiu's subordinates are included in the fastest situation, it is the fastest to look at the accounts.

His men have been involved in a wide range of industries, from government fees, to restaurants and casinos, and even have connections with futures exchanges in the far east.The names of several shops under him in the past are also impressively listed, including his Hongye Pavilion.Yinque is very clear about how complicated and troublesome it is to manage these things; it's just that after staying with a man for so long, he has never seen him show fatigue from work.

While he was dazed, the car had arrived at its destination.

The restaurant Danlong chose was the one that the married family opened on the edge of the central square in the past and was most popular with high-ranking officials and businessmen.

In the past, Yinque would meet with the responsible persons of various regions here every morning, take all the trivial discussions and malicious sneers into his heart, and pretend to be completely meaningless to arrange the latest work.Speaking of it, it was only a year ago, but when I think about it occasionally, Yinque always feels as if a long time has passed.

But now it has changed owners and decorations, and has become part of Qianqiu's business.

He stood downstairs and looked up at the familiar building for a while, then quickly looked away and led someone in.

Zhiyu pushed open the door of the private room for him, and Danlong had already arrived at some time, sitting there playing with his pocket watch.Hearing the sound of the door opening, he suddenly raised his head and greeted the person who came frivolously: "Yo."

Yinque nodded slightly, and sat down opposite him: "You order, I don't choose."

"I've ordered. I made arrangements before you came." Dan Long said, nodding to the waiter outside, and then "snapped" the pocket watch closed and put it in the small pocket on his chest.He propped his chin with his hands and stared at Yinque's face, "What do you want from me?"

Yinque picked up the teacup and looked thoughtfully at the lines drawn on the wall of the cup: "The tableware has not been changed."

"what?"

"I mean, this store has changed its name now, and it belongs to Qianqiu, but the tableware has not been changed." Yinque said, blinking and looking at him abruptly, "Qianqiu has to do so many things every day, how can I be alone? I can handle it, I asked you to have dinner because I want to understand, what can you do for me."

"Ha, this matter..." Danlong's smile looks very innocent, maybe because he knows how to communicate with people very well, "Actually, I couldn't help Qianqiu much before, it was all things he arranged for me to do That's all. But there is one thing, I haven't told him yet, and the current situation can only be done by you. "

"Ok?"

"You were able to get away from the north because I asked the third prince." Danlong said honestly, "Do you want to take the time to visit the door to thank you?"

Yinque pondered for a moment: "Since you can please move him, it must be something to talk about. You can make an appointment to tell me."

"...Hey, I thought you would refuse. I heard that you didn't participate in these entertainments very much before."

"You also said it was before."

Omega lit a cigarette, her reddish thin lips protruded from the gray smoke, and her white teeth loomed.

Danlong stared blankly, coughed a few times in embarrassment and then laughed: "...you are so beautiful, I am even embarrassed to see you."

"Thank you." Just as the waiter came in with the wine, Yinque picked up the bottle and poured a glass for Danlong, "There are still some things, maybe you will be clearer."

"You ask."

"Yin Qiansui, what do you think?"

"He..." Dan Long dragged the end of his voice thoughtfully, "How should I put it, his personality is far from Qian Qiu's, and what he insists on saying may be more similar to mine."

"Oh?"

"That's the kind of person who seems easy to get along with.... But I'm not as bad as him, so you can rest assured." Danlong said, "Yin Qiansui has more or less contacts with officials from various ministries. I heard the old man mention it. Once, the alliance with the second prince was proposed by him, and he was naturally the one who pulled the strings. There are so many wealthy merchants, large and small, in the capital, and the Yin family can leap forward, and the second prince is very convenient."

Yinque looked indifferent, as if he was not surprised by these things: "...isn't he afraid that the emperor will know, so blatantly?"

"Your Majesty may not be completely ignorant, but there is no way to do it. The background of the third prince is there. As long as the second prince doesn't go too far, I think the throne will fall on him. The old man also thinks so, so he stands decisively. Team up."

There was a moment of silence in the private room, the cigarette at Yinque's fingertips burned out and went out in the ashtray.

"It seems that it is not that simple to bring down Yin Qiansui." Yinque said, and suddenly changed the subject, "You definitely don't want to be busy with me every day."

"Haha, indeed, I don't like running around all day."

"Is there anyone else who can let me use it?"

"Human... What do you think of Yin Ke?" Danlong said, "When Qianqiu was in charge before, he never entrusted important matters to other people. There were only a few subordinates around him, and me. Now a If there is time to find something that can be used, Yin Ke is probably the only one.”

Omega narrowed his eyes slightly, and repeated the name meaningfully: "Yin Ke..."

"He did a good job in the East. The old man appreciates him very much..." "I know a little bit." Yinque said, "As long as it is easy to use, I won't pick it."

-

When he returned to Yin's house, the bedroom door was open.

The man was lying halfway against the head of the bed, with his upper body naked and his head hanging down.Two maids stood on the edge of the bed, one was holding a tray in his hand, and the other was carefully applying medicine for Qianqiu.

"...why didn't you wait for me to come back." Yinque walked into the bedroom and took off his windbreaker, "Zhiyu's hand is light, let her apply the medicine."

Only then did the man raise his head: "It's all the same... You look a little tired."

"Yes." Yinque replied, passing by the maid, "give it to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

He sat sideways on the bed, and took a cotton swab to clean up the hardened and agglomerated tissue fluid in Qianqiu's wound: "I haven't done anything serious for a long time, and I feel a little tired for a while."

The faint scent of licorice on Omega's body attacked him, enveloping him gently.

Qian Qiu could see his slender neck and the teeth marks stretching out from the collar.

When seeing these teeth marks before, Qianqiu would always think of Yinque's painful face; I don't know when he saw these again, jealousy burned uncontrollably, except wanting to kill those who had hurt Yinque , he also wanted to cover it with his own tooth marks.

"...you don't need to be so diligent." The man said in a low voice, and gave Zhiyu a look from an angle Yinque couldn't see, "There are still two months, and it won't be too late to do it after I recover from my injury."

"Really, but I hold a grudge." Yinque said, "Those who plot against me must pay the price."

The man was at a loss for words, so he simply refused to answer the sentence that sounded meaningful, and instead raised his hand to touch the back of Yinque's head.The soft hair slipped through his fingertips, Qian Qiu twisted the two strands around his fingertips, and sniffed them slightly.

Same taste of licorice.

Sweet and astringent, the smell made the man's mouth dry, but he couldn't stop wanting to take another deep breath.

Zhiyu beckoned others to put down their things knowingly, and quietly exited the bedroom.

After cleaning up the area around the wound, Yinque changed to a new cotton swab, dipped it in maroon potion, and painted Qianqiu's wound bit by bit like painting a painting.He watched as the potion soaked in, making the blood scabs darker, and what appeared in his mind was the festering and pus-feeding wounds on the day he came out of the ruins.

——At that time, how painful was Qianqiu.

——Will it hurt more than him?

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

The man's lips pressed against his ear, and they touched it like a kiss: "It doesn't hurt."

Actually it hurts.The maids' hands are very light, but more or less it will cause some pain; Yinque's hands are also very light, and for some reason, the weak pain turned into an itching in his body, and he actually enjoyed it a little.

Time flowed quietly, they didn't have too many topics to chat, but the man was very comfortable.

Smelling his scent, looking at his earnest but somewhat peaceful side face, feeling that he is touching his wound through the medium... If you deliberately amplify the feeling, it seems that Yinque's hand has reached into his body.

Cut open the chest, smash the ribs, and touch his heart with indifference and coolness.

Before Qianqiu could think of anything more, the cotton swab was thrown into the tray, Yinque picked up the bandage and gauze, and carefully wrapped the wound for him.

"...Have you had dinner outside?" The man looked away and asked pretending to be innocent.

Yinque's hand went around his back, and the whole person entered his arms for a brief moment: "Have you eaten, have you eaten?"

"If I said I didn't eat, you plan to feed me?" Qianqiu jokingly asked.

"Go to bed early if you haven't eaten," Yinque said bluntly, curling the corner of his mouth, "so as not to feel hungry."
