die by your hands

Before this incident happened, Bai Wei almost climbed out of the shadow brought by An Tianming.

A full year has passed.Although two years ago, Bai Wei also thought that An Tianming, who had disappeared for two years, would probably not reappear, but the other party showed up.But now he is more optimistic than before, he sees more things going in a good direction, and these cases make him feel that good things should have a higher probability than bad things—so, as he hoped, maybe An Tianming really The ability to let go of hatred driven by pain.

Unfortunately, he can't always guess everything.

This happened not long after he learned that Li Lang was engaged.

As for Li Lang, Bai Wei's most trusted person, after he hastily accepted the other party's pursuit and quickly regretted it, Bai Wei thought that he had lost the other party's friend.But in reality, Li Lang naturally retreated to where his friend was, and still kept in touch with Bai Wei.After that, Li Lang began to think about marriage. "Actually, I still resist political marriage as before. However, if I can find someone I like more in marriage, as long as I get along happily, it seems reasonable." Bai Wei quite agrees with the other party's words. After all, being with someone you really like for a lifetime is not enough It's just a fairy tale. Sometimes, "living well" is much more than "living happily".Also, being bisexual, being married to a woman is a lot more practical than being with someone of the same sex who doesn't have a name or a name.

Bai Wei was probably the first person to know about Li Lang's engagement.He could see that Li Lang was very happy, and he also wished Li Lang sincerely.However, it didn't take long for this good thing to go wrong.

Li Lang, who had made an internal decision, decided to announce the engagement at his grandfather's birthday banquet.Of course, people with a little bit of information must have known about this marriage beforehand—although Bai Wei never thought that An Tianming was among those well-informed people.

Bai Wei received a call from Li Lang an hour before Li Lang's grandfather's birthday banquet. "Xiaobai, I don't know if it's best for you to stay with Zhao Xuan or Wang Ning tonight."

This nonsensical rhetoric made Bai Wei almost think that he had traveled to a certain spy movie or something. "Where did you hear that a killer is coming to kill me?"

Faced with Bai Wei's half-joking question, Li Lang on the other end of the phone paused, as if he had thought about it, and began to explain in a cautious tone. "Just now, An Tianming came to see me..."

The name that hadn't appeared for a long time caught Bai Weiwei by surprise, and he subconsciously trembled.

In the receiver of the mobile phone, Li Lang's voice was low and calm, which somewhat helped Bai Wei calm down again.

"An Tianming didn't know where he received the news about my engagement. He came to question me just now, but was 'invited' away by the security guard. He seemed to think that we were together and that I betrayed you."

"But what does it matter to him?" Bai Wei couldn't help asking in a low voice, unable to understand this question.He thought An Tianming had let him go, but the reality made him worry, "What do you think he will do next?"

Li Lang replied slowly: "I think he will come to you."

"What else does he want?" Bai Wei didn't know who he was asking, because even he couldn't hear what he was talking about.

There was a trace of worry in Li Lang's voice: "What did you say, Xiaobai?"

Bai Wei tried her best to gather herself.He is afraid that bad things will happen, but when bad things happen, he always has to face them to solve them.

If An Tianming will come to him, then he should meet him.

"It's nothing. Thank you for reminding me." At this point, Bai Wei finally sorted out a glimmer of clarity from his trance and chaotic thoughts, which reminded him of something very important, "By the way, Alan, he didn't take How are you?"

"Don't worry, he's not much cheaper than me."

It sounds like there was a fight earlier.However, as long as it is not mentally hurt, Bai Wei is not worried. He can hear Li Lang's somewhat stiff mouth, and he deliberately misinterpreted this sentence: "You two took advantage of each other? Does it feel good?"

Li Lang was too choked to answer.

"Are you going to the birthday banquet? I won't delay you."

After using deliberate jokes to convince Li Lang that he was calm enough not to worry too much, Bai Wei took the initiative to end the call.

After 10 minutes of fidgeting, there was a knock on the door of Bai Wei's room.

When he heard the knock on the door, Bai Wei instinctively regretted why he didn't leave.The door of his room has no peepholes, so you can't see who is standing outside the door before you open it.He hoped that it wasn't An Tianming, but he didn't even have the courage to ask "who is it".

The people outside kept knocking on the door without getting a response, sounding so anxious.Then, Bai Wei heard An Tianming's voice.

"Xiao Wei? Are you there?"

Bai Wei thought about the feasibility of pretending that he was not there, but in the end, reason overcame fear—since he believed that he had no problem requiring psychological counseling, then he had no valid reason to be a deserter.

After repeated deep breaths, Bai Wei walked to the door and opened it.

The man behind the door looked anxious, as if he was about to hit the door.After seeing Bai Wei, he froze for a moment without realizing it.

Bai Wei smiled at the other party as nonchalantly as possible: "Long time no see. Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

An Tianming looked at Bai Weiwei carefully and solemnly. Finally, he relaxed his shoulders and said in a self-deprecating way: "Why would I think you would do stupid things, of course you wouldn't do that."

This sentence is obviously not for Bai Wei to hear - at most it is for Bai Wei to see.Although Bai Wei didn't understand the purpose of such a performance.

An Tianming, who seemed quite anxious a moment ago, slowly calmed down, and he stared at Bai Wei for a while.

"are you OK?"

"I'm fine." Bai Wei was not sure what the answer An Tianming wanted to hear, so he could only answer ambiguously.

An Tianming seemed to have difficulty understanding Bai Wei's answer, because after thinking for a long time, he changed the topic: "I'll buy you a drink."

Bai Wei didn't want to have a drink, but he didn't want to cause more serious consequences because of his refusal.

"Wait for me, I'm going to get a coat."

This year's October summer is so hot that the room without air conditioning is always so stuffy.But when Bai Wei put on the coat for himself, he was so cold that he could feel his fingers trembling.

An Tianming brought Bai Wei to the bar where he once took Bai Wei to watch football.In my memory, this bar closed three years ago, and it seems to have been converted into a western restaurant. I didn't expect it to reopen now, and even the decoration is similar to before.

However, there is no ball game tonight.The bar seemed somewhat deserted.

An Tianming found two seats for the two of them at the bar - this was the seat where Bai Wei used to sit most often, which made Bai Wei feel like he was sitting on pins and needles now.

An Tianming quickly noticed Bai Wei's strangeness. "Do you not like this bar?"

This is a difficult question to answer.Not only because Bai Wei didn't know what An Tianming wanted to hear, but he couldn't even tell whether he really didn't like this bar.With slight hesitation, Bai Wei changed the subject as lightly as possible: "I like a kind of wine in this bar. I remember it's called Western Quick Gun? I don't know if it still exists?"

"I also remember that you like this kind of wine. You can try it to see if it's the same as before." An Tianming raised his hand to signal the bartender.Bai Wei sensed something was wrong.An Tianming didn't look like a guest here, but like the boss here.

The bartender quickly served red cocktails to An Tianming and Bai Wei at the same time.An Tianming first picked up the wine glass and lightly touched Bai Wei's glass. "I'll drink with you today." He looked down at the wine glass in his hand and said.In fact, he was so depressed that he seemed like the kind of person who needed more company to drink away his sorrows.

Facing the person who drank quickly, Bai Wei could only accompany him.He finally noticed the bruise on the other's chin. "What happened to your jaw?"

An Tianming carelessly touched the wound on his face, "It's okay. Li Lang doesn't know how to fight at all, and all my fists hit him in the face."

Thinking of the bruises on the faces of those who attended an important occasion today, Bai Wei frowned worriedly.But then again, of course it was impossible for him to express his dissatisfaction in front of An Tianming.

"Stop thinking about Li Lang, he doesn't deserve to make you sad." An Tianming said again.

Bai Wei finally figured out that An Tianming probably didn't want him to think about Li Lang. "I didn't feel sorry for him, in fact, I didn't miss him either."

An Tianming obviously didn't believe it. He didn't seem to intend to refute. He just silently lowered his head and drank his second glass of whiskey. However, he couldn't keep silent afterwards. "If you weren't too sad, why would you agree to go out for a drink with me?" He said with a low self-deprecating laugh.

Bai Wei, who had no way to explain why he agreed, could only focus on drinking his own wine.

Bai Wei, who was not in the mood to get drunk at all, still drank a lot in the end.While An Tianming kept drinking himself, he didn't forget to take time to drink Bai Wei. Bai Wei didn't drink well, and the alcohol anesthetized all his motor nerves in a short time.Perhaps because of worry and uneasiness, his sanity remained clear enough.However, when he and An Tianming left the bar together, the man who was obviously more drunk than him helped him to walk instead.

"Xiao Wei...why do you like Li Lang so much?"

"...I regret it, Xiaowei...I don't want you to like anyone..."

"...I don't want to see you so sad for others..."

"...I'm sorry, Xiao Wei, although I'm angry, I'm actually very happy...I didn't know you would be so sad... Actually, I know. But I'm just happy that Li Lang is getting married...I'm sorry, Xiao Wei..."

An Tianming, who almost held Bai Wei in his arms, was talking nonsense.Bai Wei had never seen An Tianming like this before, and he even suspected that An Tianming was really drunk.

However, the confused An Tianming managed to send Bai Wei back home.When taking a taxi, An Tianming proficiently reported the address of Bai Wei's house, and he rushed to pay the fare. Then, he got out of the car and continued to help Bai Wei go upstairs.

Feeling sober, Bai Wei didn't know what happened afterwards. When he realized it, An Tianming pressed him against the wall in the corridor. Before he could take out the keys in his pocket, An Tianming's tongue had already squeezed into his body. lips and teeth.

——So, is this what An Tianming wants?

Bai Wei thought in a daze.

Every minute and every second in the past, Bai Wei was thinking about what else An Tianming wanted from him.He would rather An Tianming clearly tell him that as long as it is what he can give, he will give it to the other party, and he only hopes that the matter can come to an end.

And now, perhaps he found an answer?

If this is what An Tianming wants.Although Bai Wei is afraid of pain, his past experience has made him understand that physical injuries are far less terrible than mental ones, so that is indeed what he can give...

--However--

Those skin touches that were once so familiar have now become so terrifying, and the anxiety of the night has finally reached the moment of critical explosion.Bai Wei felt the pain in his upper abdomen, which was caused by stomach cramps caused by fear. He was familiar with this feeling four years ago, but this time the attack was particularly violent.

In the next second, he pushed An Tianming away and vomited while leaning against the wall.
