live happily ever after

The dazzling light dimmed, and the young man closed the door behind him, leaving only him and the people behind the desk in the space.

"Uncle Qi..." Shen Chen called him.

Qi Zhao looked up at him, but the disgust in his eyes was undisguised, which hurt Shen Chen's eyes.

On the day Qi Yixuan went abroad, they met at the airport.At that time, Shen Chen was silently rejected and avoided by Qi Yixuan, but facing Qi Zhao was frank, because he knew that what he thought was no longer possible.But it's different now, he and Qi Yixuan lived together for a while, in Qi Zhao's view, it was he, Shen Chen, who abducted his son first.

Shen Chen turned his eyes away, avoiding the expression on Qi Zhao's face, full of anger and disappointment.

"I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."

discuss?The scolding Shen Chen expected did not appear, but he heard such euphemistic words.

The temperature in the room is high, much warmer than the outside, but Shen Chen noticed that his body was trembling slightly uncontrollably, and his whole body felt cold.The discussion in Qi Zhao's mouth entered Shen Chen's ears word by word, and every word was a set of shackles, trapping Shen Chen in place, unable to move.

Qi Zhao said. "Lin Huasen, your boyfriend, I heard that he owes usury? How long has it been? I'm afraid Li Gunli has already owed a large amount of debt." Qi Zhao mentioned the topic that Shen Chen has always been very serious about. His tone of voice and movements of his hands were calm, he really didn't care about his affairs, and even became their savior.

Qi Zhao pushed an agreement in front of Shen Chen. "Look at the number. Lin Huasen already owes nearly [-] million to underground loan sharks... He only has two days and no other bargaining chips. His parents have already been pressured by the loan sharks. As long as they can't get the money within two days, their family of three... "

Qi Zhao didn't say any more at the right time, and the unfinished words were obvious.

Shen Chen stood there in a daze, his head was blown into paste by the sudden impact, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Shen Chen lowered his head and looked at the agreement. The handwriting on it was clear and familiar. It was written by Lin Huasen. He had read it for four years, and it was true.He remembered that Lin Huasen called him suddenly a few days ago, and the person who didn't say anything after breaking up with him suddenly called him and said, "Help me."At that time, Qi Yixuan was by Shen Chen's side, and Shen Chen was afraid that he would overthink and disturb the current love, so he thought Lin Huasen was drunk again and hung up the phone in a hurry.Thinking about it now, he was negligent.

For half the salary, Shen Chen opened his mouth dumbly. "What do you want?"

"Let's make a deal. I am willing to pay back the [-] million to Lin Huasen. You must leave Yixuan. This is my only condition."

Shen Chen seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, and realized that what Qi Zhao said before was all foreshadowing, and the real purpose was waiting for him here.

""I broke up with him, why did you come to me? ""

Qi Zhao seemed to have expected Shen Chen to say that. In fact, he also heard similar words from Lin Huasen.

"What kind of breakup is a unilateral breakup? I heard from Lin Huasen that he has been looking for you all the time, but what about you? Dump him and rely on my son!"

Qi Zhao spoke louder and louder, and finally turned into a roar, blushing and yelling at Shen Chen: "I've always seen you as a well-behaved and sensible person, but you did such disgusting things behind your back, what kind of harm do you want my son to do? Are you willing? Are you gay with me?"

Qi Zhao didn't care about the airs Shen Chen was carrying when he entered the door at first, revealing his complaints and anger towards Shen Chen in his heart.

If it wasn't for him, Qi Yixuan wouldn't be in a hurry to come back from America, and he wouldn't have fallen out with him, and wouldn't have made such a big joke.

"I didn't!" Shen Chen looked straight into Qi Zhao's eyes and looked directly at the anger in his eyes, facing it without fear of being burned, because he knew that if Qi Yixuan was there, he would stand by his side, Qi Yixuan said It was his promise to take him home, even if Shen Chen fell into the darkness, he still grasped for a glimmer of light.

It's a pity that Qi Zhao won't let him grab hold of him as he wished.

That day at the airport, he saw Shen Chen leaning down and kissing his son. At that moment, he felt that the world was falling apart, and the handle he was holding tightly was tearing at his sanity, but he closed the door in the end. Maybe it was just Shen Chen's wishful thinking. Otherwise, there is no need to steal a kiss while Qi Yixuan is asleep, he suppressed everything he saw in his heart, and closed his eyes as if nothing happened.But later in the United States, when he saw Qi Yixuan looking at Shen Chen's portrait with such a sad expression, he realized that things were going off track uncontrollably, his son was on the verge of danger, and Shen Chen It was the chief culprit who led Qi Yixuan astray.

But Qi Zhao didn't know that it was Qi Yixuan who took the initiative to catch up and came to Shen Chen's side.

Qi Zhao shook his head and took a deep breath. "Qi Yixuan's engagement banquet tomorrow, I think you have seen the invitation card?"

"what…"

The crimson card that had been washed with water did not lose its value because of the fading and the silence between each other.It was the second barrier that Qi Zhao nailed for him, firmly blocking the middle between him and Qi Yixuan.He was afraid that Lin Huasen's debts would not be convincing enough, so he tried to force an engagement banquet to force Shen Chen to retreat, and it became more violent.

In fact, three lives are enough to stop Shen Chen from moving forward. In the past few months, he has been to that basement countless times. It is dark and completely dark, and there are drips of water dripping from the cracks in the walls. The sound of beating rusty water pipes was crisp and suffocating.

What Lin Huasen is looking for is a group of people living in such a place. From the beginning, 10 yuan was used to fill the gap in funds, but the failure of the project directly led to the final gap getting bigger and bigger until it completely collapsed.

After half a year of fermentation for the initial 10, Shen Chenlu continued to add to it, thinking that the gap had been narrowed and could be controlled.But I don't know what happened in the middle, and in the end I owed [-] million in debt.

Where is he going to find the [-] million?What should Lin Huasen do?

In Qi Zhao's view, the [-] million is just a small sum. People like Lin Huasen and Shen Chen are just a group of grasshoppers in his eyes. With a slight movement of his fingers, he can solve the dilemma trapped on the cusp of the storm. .

Qi Zhao didn't intend to play the emotional card with Shen Chen.He was a businessman, Qi Yixuan was acting on his emotions, he didn't listen to persuasion, and directly attacked Shen Chen, so that he could completely stop this ridiculous joke.

"I must pull you back from the wrong path. I arranged a marriage for Qi Yixuan. He will be engaged to Zhou Ting tomorrow, and he personally agreed."

He personally agreed, and Shen Chen put a repeater next to his ear, chewing this sentence repeatedly.

Last night, the two were tender and lingering, and Qi Yixuan hugged him and told him that he was going on a business trip for two days.It turned out that this trip was a decision to put him in a place where he would not see the light.

Chen Chen's heart was sour, but he also felt that he was making trouble for no reason. Chen Chen raised his head to look at him with disbelief in his eyes, but it's not that Chen Chen didn't think about it, since he saw the invitation, he had thought of many possibilities.

Qi Yixuan chose the easiest one between him and Zhou Ting, and also the one that seemed the most satisfactory.

The light in Shen Chen's eyes went out.

"I promise you."

Shen Chen spoke, his voice was very soft and fluttering, as if there was only one thread left hanging like this.

"But I want to see the money, so help me redeem the two elders of the Lin family first."

"Don't worry about this, I will give you two air tickets, you two will leave for a while..."

"No...I won't be with him anymore."

Probably because the days of living together with Qi Yixuan were too beautiful and too real.Shen Chen is unwilling to return to the hopeless and dark reality day after day.

He didn't want to face Lin Huasen's drunken face and the pain and bruises on his body again.

Qi Zhao took a deep look at him and said nothing.A moment of shame and hesitation flashed through my heart.

He could feel that he shouldn't let Shen Chen get involved with that man again.Half of what he said and what he did now was Lin Huasen kneeling in front of him that day, panicking and eagerly advising him, with a sly look in his eyes, which made people feel contemptuous and disgusting. Everything was betrayed, he knew what to do to make Shen Chen leave voluntarily.

For money, Lin Huasen can do anything.Even the life of his parents was mortgaged in that damp and dark basement, which was the result of his initiative.

But in order for Qi Yixuan to return to normal, Shen Chen had to leave under Qi Zhao's insistence on going his own way.

When he came out of the office, Shen Chen raised his head and looked out of the flawless and transparent window, a dark cloud covered the bright light.Shen Chen doesn't belong here, his whole body is out of place, even the sun is not friendly to him.It was clear that the sun was shining just now, but now I feel more and more that the whole world is shrouded in darkness and suffocation, making it hard to breathe.Shen Chen stepped on the void, as long as he took a step forward, he would be absorbed by the dark clouds and fall into the endless abyss.

Shen Chen walked forward step by step, this time there was no one to lead the way, so he returned the same way and took the elevator downstairs.

When he got out of the elevator, he took out his mobile phone, and Qi Yixuan's number was at the top of the address book.

Shen Chen misses him very much, and wants to call him and listen to his voice.

He just made a decision, and he doesn't know if it's right or not.If Qi Yixuan could scold him on the phone, scold him for being stupid, scold him for being stupid, why would he have anything to do with Lin Huasen, why should he pay for Lin Huasen's mess.

Shen Chen is not a saint, it was hard for him to be with Qi Yixuan.He was even thinking that even if it was an underground lover, Qi Yixuan would still be willing to be with him, and he accepted it.He wanted to run back and tell Qi Zhao that he regretted it, and he didn't want it anymore!Let Lin Huasen fend for himself!

The phone rang for the fourth time, and Qi Yixuan connected.

Shen Chen called him.

The footsteps on the other end of the phone were in a hurry, changing from a noisy environment to a quiet corner, Qi Yixuan's voice was also panting.

"Xiaochen, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay..." Shen Chen clenched the phone tightly, his palms were moist and hot to the touch.

"I miss you."

Qi Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I miss you too. I'm busy these two days. You wait for me to come back at home. I have something to tell you."

"what are you busy with?"

"Work, I'll call you when I'm done. If someone comes to you these days, you don't care about anything, you know?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I still have to hang up beforehand, don't contact me for a few days, and don't watch the news, just wait for me at home obediently."

Shen Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, trying not to make the expression on his face too ugly, but thinking that Qi Yixuan couldn't see him on the phone at all, the calmness he had managed to maintain completely collapsed.

Don't contact, don't watch the news, yes!I am afraid that the news will report a grand banquet, a pair of prospective newlyweds who have attracted much attention and been blessed by others.Then Chen Chen will find out that Qi Yixuan has already prepared a cage for him, and Shen Chen will soon become a canary who can only glimpse a square inch of sunlight.

This is what Qi Yixuan keeps saying he likes.Just now he was still trying to resist, they liked each other, Qi Yixuan wanted to be with him.

But it was all worthless, and he agreed with himself.Shen Chen's face was in hot pain, and his heart was burning, hoping to be burned into ashes bit by bit.

The next day, Shen Chen met Lin Huasen.When Shen Chen received the call, he was packing his luggage in the small hotel. After leaving it for so long, the hotel owner put his things in the unused storage room on the roof of the hotel. Shen Chen was very grateful that the owner didn't throw his things out. Already very good.Shen Chen simply reported the address, and Lin Huasen came over not long after.

Shen Chen was startled the first time he saw him. In just half a month, Lin Huasen almost changed into a different person, with messy hair, and the sideburns covered his ears.He didn't shave his beard, and he suddenly looked ten years older.Through the blurred lenses that haven't been wiped for a long time, the eyes immediately lit up when they saw Shen Chen.

"Shen Chen!" Lin Huasen grinned, and as soon as he came up, he stuck to Shen Chen's body, but Shen Chen dodged and lost his hands.He didn't care either, and rubbed his hands up and down the side of his legs. Shen Chen looked annoyed and packed his things by himself.

Lin Huasen was bored, and said embarrassingly. "Thank you, you are still willing to help me. I know I did something wrong. I shouldn't owe so much money. I shouldn't be drunk and hit you. I will never drink again. I will live with you and you will come back to me , I will treat you well."

"No need." In the past, he, Shen Chen, was too soft-hearted, swallowing the pain and discomfort into his stomach.This time, Shen Chen didn't want to make the same mistakes again.

"I'm packing up, I'm leaving. You pay back the money, live well, and don't provoke them again."

Shen Chen's tone was so cold that there was only an explanatory tone left.

Lin Huasen sat down at first, but when he heard this sentence, he stood up abruptly, his face darkened.

"What do you mean? Where are you going?"

"Travel, go to other places." Shen Chen is sincere. He didn't sleep last night and thought a lot. He came out of Qi Yixuan's apartment alone in the morning. At the beginning of liking the same sex, he stumbled, did things in a mess, and couldn't get any good results. Instead, he lived more and more without himself. He wanted to go outside and have a look, and come back after clearing up his mood.

But Lin Huasen misinterpreted his meaning.

"Travel? Are you going to travel? I think you want to be a double-faced person after you dumped me. On the surface, you paid back the money for me and left that surnamed Qi, but secretly colluded. Wait until the limelight passes. Come back to Qi Yixuan without knowing it!" Lin Huasen took a step forward, blocking Chen Chen's way.

"What? He's about to get married, do you really want to be his unseen lover for the rest of his life?"

Shen Chen's heart ached from these words, but he still refused to show weakness.

"We have nothing to do with you anymore, don't worry about it!" Shen Chen dragged the suitcase and reached out to push Lin Huasen away, but Lin Huasen grabbed his wrist and squeezed it tightly.

"Don't worry about me? What do you think of me? Do you come and go when you ask me? It was you who promised to be with me back then..."

Shen Chen was in pain.His strength couldn't match the strength of Lin Huasen's hand, and he struggled to no avail. He released the suitcase with his right hand, made a fist with the other hand, and swung Lin Huasen's face.

Chen Chen exerted a lot of force with resentment, Lin Huasen staggered to the right and fell over.

"Fuck! How dare you hit me!" Lin Huasen covered his face, this punch smashed Lin Huasen's disguised mask, finally revealing his real face.

"Slap." Shen Chen's loud slap on the face made Shen Chen see this person clearly.

"Isn't it just for inserting Qi Yixuan's ass? Damn it! I've been fishing for you for so long, and before I even tried it, Qi Yixuan caught you first." Lin Huasen walked back a few steps, grabbing the slapped The shirt of the retreating man was clutched tightly in front of him, close at hand. Shen Chen met Lin Huasen's eyes distortedly, staring wide-eyed, smiling viciously, and approaching his evil face.

"So...you are by my side for such a purpose?" Shen Chen's voice trembled, every word was like a boulder falling into his heart, he felt scared, if it wasn't for his decision today to tear away Lin Huasen's hypocritical mask, He estimated that he would be kept in the dark forever. It turned out that the person who had been by his side for more than four years was such a person.

He regards himself as fun, and is being played with without knowing it.

"You only have Qi Yixuan in your heart! Ask yourself! What do you think of me?" Lin Huasen gritted his teeth and said every word, as if every word, even with almost imperceptible grievances and complaints, was bound to smash into Shen Chen's heart A hole is not enough.

Shen Chen suddenly woke up.Pushed out by Lin Huasen forcefully, his body lost strength and fell backwards, his head hitting the corner of an abandoned table in the storage room.

For a moment the world was spinning, Shen Chen couldn't even feel the pain, his eyes went dark.

When Shen Chen woke up and opened his eyes, the surroundings were pitch black. It was probably night. Shen Chen didn't know how long it had passed, let alone where he was. , eroding Shen Chen's consciousness.

"hiss…"

The back of Shen Chen's head was sticky with hair mixed with cold and congealed blood, which stained the wall red. Shen Chen wanted to touch it, but he couldn't. When he raised his hand, he found that the movement of his arm was restricted. Unable to raise his hands, he only saw his current situation clearly in the dark with the dim light outside.

He is tied up.

His hands and feet were tied together and tightly bound with thick hemp ropes.

The location should still be in the locker room of the hotel.Because the storage room has been filled with sundries and accumulated dust all the year round, there is a rotten smell mixed with the unique sour smell of wood. Chen Chen was choked when he entered the door before, and he recognized the smell.Now mixed with the rusty smell of his own blood, Shen Chen's sense of smell and hearing became more sensitive in the dark, and his whole body fell into an uncontrollable chill and fear.

The darkness didn't last long, and Lin Huasen came.

When you open the door, bring in the bright moonlight.Shen Chen's eyes used to the darkness were suddenly blinded by the light.

When he turned around, Lin Huasen had already closed the door.Shen Chen looked up at the hand that pressed the handle and locked it, and then moved his gaze to the face of the owner of this hand.He knew that once the door was closed, he might never see the light again, and the darkness in front of him seemed to be possessed by a demon and entered the Tao.Push him step by step to the bottom of the abyss, and he can't get up again.

Qi Yixuan returned home the next night, and he was exhausted after a turbulent day.He wants to meet that person.

She gritted her teeth and said, not to contact for now, but every time she picked up the phone, she opened the dialog box with Shen Chen uncontrollably.

He's out.In front of relatives and friends at the engagement banquet and the media who heard the news.

The Qi family was immediately pushed to the forefront.He talked with Qi Zhao several times, but each time they broke up unhappy, and neither of them would back down.Qi Zhao arranged a marriage for him on his own initiative, and everyone knew about it.He simply agreed to come down without doing anything, and openly admitted that he has a gay man and he will not get married.Lest Qi Zhao continue to play tricks behind his back.The only one who was sorry was Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting was one of the parties involved. Although she had confessed in advance, she still let Zhou Ting face the media's questioning as the bride who was about to be engaged.

Qi Yixuan owed her a favor.

He was afraid that Shen Chen would meet the media and members of the Qi family alone, so he recklessly took the earliest flight back home.

Yet it was too late.

The house was empty, without a single light.Shen Chen was not at home, and his luggage was empty.

Qi Yixuan panicked for a moment.Phone calls, WeChat calls one by one, but no one answered.
