lion hunting

Ao Chuan was injured for more than ten days. He recovered very well, but there were three small scars on the lion on his back. Uncle Rong said he would make up the tattoo for him, but Ao Chuan said, these three scars Just leave the bullet marks.

Of course, Rui An has been taking care of Ao Chuan every step of the way for more than ten days. He probably exhausted all the tenderness in his life. Even if a man deliberately joked with him to make him angry, he could bear it.

The strange thing is that the man who used to touch Rui An whenever he had free time has never touched him once in the past ten days. The only kiss was when the man was awake, Rui An took the initiative to peck him.

Rui An is not a hungry person, so he naturally doesn't think too much about it, he just thinks that the man is still recuperating.

In a flash, Rui An had left City S for more than a month. When Ao Chuanhao was able to live a normal life, he proposed to return to City S.

Surprisingly, the man didn't say much, he just glanced at him lightly and agreed.

Rui An didn't ask any further questions. He suddenly remembered that before the accident, he was the one who proposed to break up with the man. Right now, he has nothing to justify. After all, there is still real life waiting for him.

Rui An didn't ask, maybe it was because he felt that Ao Chuan always hesitated to speak, but only left him silent.

He couldn't guess Ao Chuan's heart, and he didn't want to guess.

Going with the flow or something is better than asking the bottom line at a time like this.

The next morning when Rui An proposed to return to City S, Ah Yin came to pick him up, saying that he wanted to personally send Rui An to the airport.They also returned Rui An's ID card and bank/bank card to him, including a [-]:[-] am air ticket.

The clothes Rui An changed into were the man's black clover sports jacket, which was still too big. He rolled up the sleeves, and found a plush rabbit the size of a palm from the bedside table. The snow-white rabbit was already a little dirty. Yes, there is still a spare key of his house hanging on it, which was accidentally discovered before.

Probably thinking of the man holding the rabbit, Rui An smiled unconsciously, then put the key and the rabbit into his pocket.

Looking at the half of the bed where no one was seen after waking up in the morning, Rui An turned and left.

Rui An also knew the minimum manners. Before leaving, he deliberately said goodbye to the old man who was doing Tai Chi in the yard. The old man seemed very surprised that Rui An left, so he couldn't help teasing him. He also maintained the humility that juniors should have.

It's a pity that Ao You went to school today, but Rui An didn't see anyone.

After asking the housekeeper about the time, Rui An finally stepped out of the gate of the headquarters of the Red Lion Club. He was not a person who missed parting, but when the gate was closed, he made an exception and turned around. He didn't know what he could see at this moment. Who do you want to see again.

Looking at the people parked there, Ah Yin sat in the car and honked the horn to urge: "Rui An, I'm going to miss the plane!"

Only then did Rui An lift his feet and walk towards the car, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Wei Ze had said to him.

Maybe what Wei Ze said is right, there is no real right or wrong in this world, it's just a matter of different positions.Just like the people from the Red Lion Club that Rui An has come into contact with these days, and this straightforward and humorous silly boy A Yin, who can conclude that their lives are wrong?

Ah Yin was driving like himself, very unstable. Rui An was sitting in the co-pilot, sweating the whole time even though he was wearing a seat belt.When we arrived at the airport, the time was just in time, but after getting off the car, Rui An didn't leave for a long time. He looked at A Yin, opened his mouth several times but didn't make a sound.

Ah Yin scratched his fiery red hair, his expression was more tangled than Rui An's, and he turned around and thumped the roof of the car.

Rui An looked at Ah Yin who suddenly went crazy, and was stunned, he obviously hadn't said anything yet.

Ah Yin has such a personality, he can't hold back anything, he knew that Rui An wanted to ask why he didn't see the boss, but he couldn't tell, because last night after the boss asked him to pick up Rui An early in the morning, he didn't I have seen the boss.

As for his madness, he just felt that the boss was a little hateful.

But when he turned around after getting angry, all he saw was Rui An's back getting further and further away.

Rui An's footsteps were decisive, he neither hesitated nor looked back, his straight and slender figure only made Ah Yin feel extremely unwilling.

"Damn it! Where's the boss?"

Ah Yin cursed in a low voice, and punched the roof of the car again. Who knew that just after he finished cursing, he saw a figure slowly passing by him. Looking over, it turned out to be the boss!

"Tsk, boss, everyone has already entered, so hurry up!"

"..."

"If it's too late, it's too late!" Ah Yin jumped up anxiously, but unfortunately the man just walked to the fence, smoking a cigarette and looking in the direction of the airport.

He chased after him, and asked angrily: "Boss, what on earth are you thinking? Why did you let people go away suddenly? It's fine if you leave, and you don't even send it off. Isn't that too heartless? You said What the hell is going on with you! "

"..."

Seeing the people patronizing the smokers, Ah Yin waved his hands as if giving up, "Well, can't I just leave it alone?"

Ignoring those who talk to themselves and give up on themselves, Ao Chuan put his hands into his trousers after a long time and asked, "What do you think of him?"

The person who was finally ignored looked confused, he looked at the boss, opened his mouth exaggeratedly, "What?"

"..." Obviously, the man is not going to repeat it again.

Ah Yin actually heard it clearly, he was just surprised why the boss suddenly asked him such a question, after thinking for a while, Ah Yin said: "Uh, I didn't think much of it, at first I thought I looked average and unworthy of the boss, now it's been a long time I just found him to be pretty good-looking, Su Su is in vain, not bad, hehe."

The amber eyes looked at the person who casually commented on other people's appearance, and narrowed in displeasure.

Frightened by this look, Ah Yin took a step back, and hurriedly stopped, but, "I don't think he's the same as us."

"What's the difference?"

"It's not that it's different, it's hard to say." Ah Yin murmured like a fortune teller, "I just think he's a bit of a caretaker, and it may have something to do with his work, so he's too kind and too upright ...Well, I always feel out of place with us."

"..."

"But boss, a person who dare not even fire a gun, he killed someone for you."

"..."

"Besides, as a policeman, he treats those of us underworld/society well. Especially for you, the boss. During the days when you were injured, he was so gentle that even his brothers were talking behind his back."

"..."

"Boss, actually, after you were shot and passed out, he was crying. It wasn't crying, it was just that kind of... well, I can't say what it felt like. Anyway, I felt uncomfortable when I saw it. How can you say that a big man can cry so painfully..."

"..."

Ah Yin, who had been talking to himself, sniffed, not understanding why the boss had been silent all the time, and why he was talking to Rui An as he spoke, he wrapped his clothes tightly and asked curiously: "Boss, How does it feel to be in love with someone?"

The plane to S City finally took off, and the ear-shattering sound cut through the long silence. When it completely disappeared into the sky, Ah Yin heard three words.

"……it's painful."

Leaving behind this sentence of unknown meaning, Ao Chuan turned and walked towards the car across the road.

Raising his eyebrows, Ah Yin also walked towards his car, opened the door, and looked up at the blue sky, always feeling stuck in his heart.

In fact, he still wants to ask, since falling in love with someone is so painful, why should he still love?Since you love without hesitation, why make yourself miserable?

Obviously, who knows.

What Ah Yin still doesn't know is what kind of mood Ao Chuan has in letting Rui An take care of him for the past ten days, and how much he regrets not letting him go when Rui An first proposed to leave.

Because Ao Chuan never made up his mind that Rui An would die.

At the very least, in the current chaotic circle where all the bulls and horses live together, he still can't give Rui An absolute safety.

I can't give it back...

------

Rui An, who returned to City S, had a good night's sleep at home, and reported back to the brigade early the next morning, but instead of applying to return to work, he went directly to Lao Xu's office.

Old Xu was busy, and Rui An was waiting in the corridor. Half an hour later, he directly expressed his wishes to Old Xu who was sitting at his desk and warmed him up.

Lao Xu was silent for a long time, and nodded when he was about to burn a cigarette. He neither asked too much nor forced Rui An to stay, but just looked at Rui An with those eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes. .

Lao Xu is Rui An's bole, the person Rui An has devoted everything to but can't repay him. Rui An can't say good things, and he can't flatter. The only thing he can do is to show up without hesitation when Lao Xu needs him. There is also a standard military salute.

Rui An left, left the patrol brigade with his armband, and also resigned as a civil servant. Before leaving, he did not tell anyone the reason for his departure, including Miao Zheng and Fang Hong. He only said that he was old and wanted to Live the life you want.

Miao Zheng didn't understand, he said, "Brother Rui, isn't the life you want to be a policeman?" '

After bidding farewell to the brigade, Rui An went to Haixun's house again, and after chatting with his mother and father all night, he buried Haixun's armbands and his own armbands on the grave the next morning.

The cold weather in November made fingers tingle, Rui An rubbed the photo on the tombstone with the sleeve of his coat, looked at the still young smiling face, and said sorry to Hai Xun, because he was no longer qualified to wear it That police uniform.

A week later, Rui An resolutely left City S. Sitting in the moving car, Rui An inevitably felt a little sour when he looked at the old housing estate where he had lived for several years.

The heavy snow fell, and the car passed the old street in District B that he had been patrolling for many years, as well as the dark alley, as if the time had returned to the morning when he first met that man.

It's ridiculous to say that in just two years, that arrogant and undisciplined man turned his world upside down. That man ruined his comfortable and regular life and the justice he had always been proud of.

But in equal measure, Rui An was able to taste the love that blushes and heartbeats, and yearns for it.

It is said that love does not have to be vigorous and vigorous, as long as there is someone who will never leave by your side, that person will comfort you when you lose control of your emotions, and understand you when you don't want to talk. Will find you on the crowded street, hug you when you are tired from work, worry about you when you are sick...

But for Rui An, who has experienced life and death several times, these are too ideal and too hypocritical, and he only wants a lover who will not say goodbye to him honestly, and leave the rest to him. Time to grind.

Unfortunately, some things are beyond his control.

He once said that as long as he and Ao Chuan are still related to police and gangsters, there will be no results.But now that he wasn't a cop, they hadn't had any results, and he still didn't know if starting over by throwing away all his options would actually give him a fresh start.

He just firmly believes that one day in the future, he will no longer regret taking off his police uniform or the path he chose.

……

……

Many cities in the north plant sycamore trees, which are large deciduous trees. Even if the branches are bare in the cold winter, they will not be ugly, and they are also convenient for decoration.

Just like now, on Christmas Eve one year later, the city administrator has started to decorate the branches with colorful lights. They will illuminate the entire street of the town on Christmas Day, including the house located in A small teahouse in the corner of the district.

After leaving City S, Rui An came to a small northern town with a slow pace of life. After staying in a hotel for nearly half a month, he finally rented a second-floor shop in front of a residential area.

The housing prices here are very cheap, Rui An tidied up the attic on the second floor and used it as a living room, while he opened a teahouse downstairs.

The teahouse is small, in addition to selling tea, Rui An also provides some simple old-fashioned refreshments for those who drink tea here.Of course, this model can’t make much money, and even lost money at the beginning, because there were not many people at the beginning, and most of the elderly gathered in the square opposite the teahouse to rest.So Rui An set up a few tables and chairs in the open space at the door, and put a few sets of chess boards on the table. Gradually, those old people who rested their feet gathered one after another, drinking tea and playing chess under the tree. .

Rui An would provide free iced watermelon in summer, and move the chessboard into the house in winter. After three months, this small teahouse finally started to make a profit. Just some living expenses.

Until now, Rui An can play chess with the old men while drinking his favorite Emei Zhuyeqing, or learn Erhu from the old seniors, and wriggling behind the aunt who is dancing in the square at night.

Occasionally, Miao Zheng and Fang Hong would come to live, and Meng Qi was mentioned once. After Rui An came back, he bought a mobile phone. Apart from these two, only A Niang and Lao Xu knew the number, so Meng Qi couldn't find him. It was also a matter of course, Miao Zheng said, Meng Qi had been to the brigade several times and asked about Rui An, but Miao Zheng didn't say anything.

Rui An also kept silent about this, he only said that for some people, it is better not to face each other.

Rui An likes her current life very much, and after more than ten years of busy work, she finally feels settled down.It's just that sometimes it's unavoidable to feel empty in my heart. This kind of feeling is very subtle. I can't talk about loneliness, but I just feel that something is missing.

On the night of Christmas Eve, Rui An didn't close the door very late. He moved a stool and sat at the door to look at the aunt dancing in the opposite square. The dance music tonight was very cheerful and the sound was loud. He stared blankly like a polar bear until a car blocked his view.

Rui An, who was disturbed, curled his lips. Just as he was thinking about why the car parked so annoyingly, he saw a person slowly getting out of the car.

The man combed his back hair and wore a knee-length black coat over his suit. He walked slowly with lazy steps, but every step was extremely firm.

When he finally reached the person at the door, the first thing he said was, "Is there any water?"

"……what?"

"water."

Rui An blinked his eyes, the man's low voice reached his eardrums, and hit his beating heart again, he lowered his head, shook the teacup in his hand, "I'm closed here."

The man paused, his amber eyes looked deeply at the person in front of him, and he said, "The cup in your hand is fine."

Rubbing the warm glass with her fingertips without a trace, and shaking off two hanging bamboo leaves, Rui An whispered, "You don't like drinking tea, don't you... Mmm!"

Before he finished speaking, his arm was pulled up, and at the same time he crashed into an embrace, the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

The warm tea was poured on the cold floor tiles to give off steam, and Rui An saw his favorite Zhuyeqing lying on the ground pitifully, before he could feel sorry for him, a man's restrained and hoarse voice came from his ears.

"Ruian..."

In an instant, an incomparable soreness came from the heart, which spread along Rui An's veins all over the body, reaching all the limbs and bones.

It is said that it begins with joy, which is fate; and ends in silence, which is fate.

Ke Rui'an felt that the fate between him and Da Huang was inevitable, because Rui'an was a caring guy.And Yuan Luo is another beginning for him and Ao Chuan. They are tacitly silent, just wanting to knead all the thoughts of this year into each other's flesh and blood.

Now, be brave enough to admit it.You waited silently day and night, your heart was empty all the time, and you started again desperately.

Admit it, you still love him the same.

Finally, Rui An raised his numb hand and stroked the man's strong back. He buried his head in the man's neck, breathing in the man's scent greedily and nostalgicly, he frowned and murmured: "...Long time no see .”
