Quickly kill the rival

The rest was early, and the kitchen, which has not been used for many years, is now a mess. The broken eggs fell on the floor, and the egg whites flowed out along the porcelain floor. He hurriedly cracked an egg into the pan, and the sizzling oil burned The sound, the sound of the range hood turning, had never sounded in his room.

In the future, there should be more often, after all, he was given the habit of eating breakfast by the man next door.

The fried eggs are a bit burnt, and the sliced ​​bread is also a bit burnt, but it doesn't matter, it will get better if you practice a few times.

Xi Zheng gulped down his breakfast, put on his coat, wrapped himself up tightly, and took out a pair of flat glasses that he hadn't worn all year round to cover his swollen eyes. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and the second hand ticked Turning in circles, silently.

click.

The door opened.

Xi Zheng saw the dinner plate covered with plastic wrap on the small cabinet at a glance. The food inside was exquisite and beautiful. Apart from the appearance, he also knew that it was delicious, and it was much better than what he made.

The door opposite was opened, and a well-dressed tall man came out with a cigarette in his mouth. Just as he turned his attention to Xi Zheng, the person opposite locked the door with a bang, turned his head and left in a hurry.

The nervousness seemed to be transmitted to Yue Lou from five meters away.

The man looked coldly at the breakfast he put on the small cabinet a moment ago, and said to himself: "Why are you nervous, shouldn't it be me?"

Xi Zheng rushed to the unit like a ghost chasing after him, and disappeared.

The table was cold and cold, and he leaned his face on it, staring blankly at the sticky note on the partition, his eyes were out of focus and without a trace of brilliance.

The newcomer's salty fish appearance startled his colleagues, several of them looked at each other, and ran over to question the newcomer.

"What's the matter Xiao Zhou, so melancholy, his girlfriend ran away?" The fat man smiled.

Qu Xia slapped the fat man's head with a booklet: "Will you be able to talk? That girl yesterday is not Xiao Zhou's girlfriend, don't you all know?"

"Isn't this deliberately teasing Xiao Zhou..."

Hearing this, Xi Zheng managed to pull himself together: "Senior Qu, how is the little girl who came with me yesterday?"

Qu Xia sighed: "I heard that she was beaten by her father, and she wants to sever the relationship. You know, what can I do about the blood relationship? There is no law to do it, only to reconcile."

"But..." Xi Zheng was stunned, "Her situation is very special."

"So what? No one can prove that she was trafficked by her parents. If it is said that her parents received a deposit and have certain written materials that clearly stated that they sold their daughter, in this case, it may be possible. At present ,uncertain."

Xi Zheng murmured: "...how could this happen?"

Qu Xia patted Xi Zheng's shoulder: "Xiao Zhou, don't think too much, maybe the relationship between their family will improve?"

Xi Zheng grinned reluctantly, showing a smile that wasn't a smile.

Can it be good?her situation.

In winter, the nights are long and it gets dark early, but the lights are on at six o'clock. Xi Zheng called his buddy and asked him to come out for a drink.

"Don't drive, you won't return today if you don't get drunk!"

Xi Zheng left the next sentence.

"Okay, I won't drive, at worst, ask Lao Pan to pick us up."

Liu Jing was also forthright, the two made an appointment for a time and place, and soon the well-dressed Liu Jing arrived.

Xizheng arrived early, and had already had three glasses of wine. He sat at the bar and glared at the bartender, and was under the spotlight of the bar security.

As soon as Liu Jing came, he ordered Xi Zheng a glass of milk.

"Did you not eat?" Liu Jing looked at Xi Zheng like this, speechless, "Drink on an empty stomach, Pengzi, you are cruel to yourself."

Xi Zheng drank two sips of milk, feeling a little uncomfortable, lay down for a while, and asked Liu Jing in a muffled voice: "Do you have a cigarette, give it to me."

Liu Jing took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his body, and nuzzled: "After drinking wine and smoking cigarettes, do you want to tell me that you are broken in love?"

Xi Zheng lit the cigarette, put it in his mouth and took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke ring, and said in a daze, "The taste is different."

"What's the difference? I've been smoking this since high school." Liu Jing ordered a glass of wine and turned his head. "Could it be that I bought fake cigarettes?"

Xi Zheng: "It's different from the tobacco smell on his body."

Liu Jing: "..."

"Come on, buddy, what do you mean by this, do you know?"

Xi Zheng's sluggish brain returned to Liu Jing's question just now: "I'm not broken in love, I haven't started yet."

Liu Jing was speechless, looking at his buddies for many years with their heads hanging down and smoking, the voice sounded like he was wronged, a little distressed, and a little funny.

"Pengzi, I can think that you are interested in that neighbor, right?" Liu Jing said.

Just as Xi Zheng opened his mouth, Liu Jing raised his hand: "No, don't say it first, listen to me."

"Gender aside, ask yourself, do you like him?"

"If you like it, how does he please you? Does anyone else have a little bit? If he is a woman, what do you do?"

Xi Zheng stared blankly at Liu Jing, silent for a long time.

After a while, he lay on the bar counter covering his face, sobbing: "If he was a woman, I would have come to his mother's door to propose marriage a long time ago!"

Liu Jing sighed: "It's over, Pengzi, brother, I can't do anything."

"But he's a man..." Xi Zheng mumbled, "My mother can't accept it, especially...you know, there is a girl in my neighborhood, she is...her father beat her, and her mother planned to pull her out Married to the rural areas, her mother is better, but her mother still wants her to find a man to start a family...Tell me, is this life aggrieved, is it...worrying and scary?"

"So you are mainly worried about your aunt?" Liu Jing rubbed his chin and thought, "Actually, I think your mother will accept it no matter what you do. After a few years, you told her not to have this son, she must feel distressed."

"But my mother accepted it, and she still feels distressed." Xi Zheng was particularly aggrieved, "Last time, the last time I went home, my mother said this, and she told me that she didn't want me to go astray, and she felt sorry for me. "

Liu Jing: "Then what should we do? Forget it?"

Xi Zheng shook his head: "I don't know either, I just told him... something, my mother's heart hurts so much that I'm about to explode, what do you think I should do?"

"I can't afford to throw it away..." Liu Jing hesitated, "Why don't you try and break it for a while?"

"What do you mean?" Xi Zheng raised his head and looked at Liu Jing suspiciously.

Liu Jing: "What I mean is, don't go back and live there during this period of time, lest you look up and down with him every day, and think about it when you meet. As for you, you can either live with me or live with Lao Pan. Then, or go home and stay away, in short, separate from him for a while, what do you think, take advantage of this time to think carefully. "

Xi Zheng's dull brain turned around, and he raised his head: "I think what you said makes sense, look, maybe he put some poppy shells on him, it's addictive, left, maybe Enough."

Liu Jing: "...I really don't want to talk about your mentality. Forget it, I'll save you some face. Then stop drinking, pack up and go, and go to my house today to make do for the night."

Xi Zheng nodded, propped himself up and got off the bar, staggered and almost fell, but thanks to Liu Jing's quick reaction, he steadied himself, sighed, and took out his mobile phone to summon another buddy: "Come pick me up quickly." , I drank wine, Peng Zi is already tall."

Liu Jing's family is in good condition. He lives in a big apartment he bought after graduation. He is a bachelor. The house is a little messy. He tidied up the guest room and study, and finally wiped Xi Zheng's face with another man who is a little more stable. Throw people to the guest room.

Xi Zheng was very silent when he got up early, the three men didn’t have the habit of eating breakfast, they were noisy, and they went to work together, Lao Pan was going to the north of the city, the road was far away, he drove by himself, Liu Jing went to work late, so he drove to pay interest first Levy to the branch.

Liu Jing saw his friend's depressed state since he got up in the morning. He parked the car at the gate of the branch office, waited for Xi Zheng to get off the car, hesitated for a while, and said, "Pengzi, actually, if you... my brother supports you .”

With a pale face, Xi Zheng smiled at his brother: "Thank you."

Liu actually left, the entrance of the branch office in the morning was very clean, Xi Zheng stood there, went to a nearby vendor, bought a pancake, a cup of soy milk, and carrying a simple breakfast, he walked towards the branch office slowly.

He lowered his head, looked at his toes, the lines on the ground, walked a few steps, there would be a grid, he measured step by step.

A dry leaf seemed to have drifted down from the dry branch and landed in front of Xi Zheng's feet.

Withered and yellow, without a trace of life.

Xi Zheng's footsteps stopped, he hesitated, bent down and picked up the dead leaves, he didn't know whether to throw them into the trash can or hold them in his hands.

However, it would be too silly to bring a dead leaf to the office, Xi Zheng laughed at himself, raised his head, and planned to throw it into the trash can in the corner.

Look up, and then.

He stopped breathing.

A white-tone tiled wall, a green flowerbed, a silver trash can, and there was a person standing there.

The tall man was wearing the same clothes he saw yesterday morning, leaning against the cold wall, smoking a cigarette, and pressing a dozen cigarette butts on the trash can.

The man looked at him coldly from a long distance.

----

Xi Zheng's heart sank suddenly, he stared blankly at the person in front of him, for a while, he didn't have any thoughts in his mind.

The wall clock at home seems to be spinning, the second hand circles around, tick tock, tick tock.

The entrance of the sub-bureau was empty, and there was a carport not far away. The staff wrapped in coats locked the car and hurried inside. Occasionally, someone who knew Xizheng came all the way to say hello: "Xiao Zhou, why don't you go in? "

Xi Zheng turned his head bluntly, and said in a daze, "Oh."

He lifted his foot and took two steps forward, then stopped again.

He was in front of him, less than ten meters away.

Yue Lou stubbed out his cigarette, pressed it on the trash can, stood up straight, and walked towards Xi Zheng.

The man's footsteps are very steady, one step, one step, the distance is shortening, and he is getting closer and closer to the Xizheng.

The winter morning was very cold, with a bone-piercing wind blowing, whining, Xi Zheng's ears that were not covered by his hat were red from the cold, which was directly the same color as his pale face under the mask.

A floor tile is about one step away from the branch line, and Yuelou's foot stopped one step away.

Xi Zheng opened his mouth, glanced at the pile of cigarette butts on the trash can, and closed his mouth slumped.

"I was waiting for you to come back yesterday."

The man's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had caught a cold, with a hint of nasality.

"You didn't come back."

Xi Zheng's heart twitched, a strange sourness spread from his chest, and finally reached his nose, and his nose was sore.

"I thought you were going to tell me seriously, what is it to hide from me?"

Xi Zheng raised his head and glanced at Yue Lou. The few glasses of wine he drank last night had great stamina. He didn't know how long he was drunk. Maybe it was just one night, or maybe it was in his heart for many years. He looked at this face greedily. .

"Although I call you a child, sometimes, as a man, I think you should have the responsibility. At least, don't hide."

Yue Lou gently took away the dead leaves from Xi Zheng's hand, leaving behind a sentence: "You go to work, remember to come back after get off work."

It seems to be a bit cold, but the fingertips are hot.

Xi Zheng rubbed his fingertips, lowered his head, and only sighed after a long time.

Go to work step by step, eat lunch, and deal with some matters at hand. The captain took a few colleagues out to visit the residential area of ​​a case. There were fewer people and more things. By the time he was able to get off work, it was almost seven o'clock. .

Outside the window, it was already dark.The street lights were brightly lit, and under the dim light, there were not even mosquitoes, and it was deserted.

Xi Zheng changed into his regular clothes, wrapped up his scarf, and when he was walking slowly, he called Liu Jing.

"Well...today...don't come to pick me up...I'll go back...no...yes, yes...I know...um."

Xi Zheng walked slowly, and when he walked out of the gate of the branch office, a gust of cold wind hit him, and he shivered violently.

I want to go back there, is there someone waiting for him today, maybe he will light a cigarette, the sparks will flicker, a familiar smell of tobacco will stain his clothes, and then what?The two continued to sit side by side calmly as before, chatted, walked back, ate the delicious food made by the man, complained a few words about what happened, the man would clean up the table and wash the dishes, he would what?Get into the kitchen and continue chatting with the man, and then wait until you are sleepy, say goodbye good night, and go back to sleep?

But, it's not the same anymore.

After Yuelou said those words, he... After doing this, it must be different.

how is this possible.

Xizheng waited for the bus, dazed, missed it, and could only continue to wait in the cold wind.

The bus is missed, just wait, the next one will come soon.

people miss...

Do it like this?

The alley was very long, and few people came in and out at night. In such a cold day, he was the only one walking.Walk alone.

Most of the shops on the steps on both sides were closed, or half of the doors were closed, and the owners sat inside to gather people to play cards and chat.

Yuelou's shop door is closed.

Xi Zheng walked over with his head down.

At the gate of the community, there is no one...

Xi Zheng walked back to the building slowly. On the first floor, on the first floor, there was a lady who just opened the door to throw out the garbage, and greeted him very politely. , the opposite door has been opened.

The man in casual clothes was waiting for him, and when he saw Xi Zheng coming up, he raised his chin: "I'm back, let's eat first."

Just as Xi Zheng was about to say something, he was interrupted. He stared into Yue Lou's house, took off his hat, scarf, mask and jacket, washed his hands, and was pressed on the dining table with a pair of chopsticks stuffed in.

"I guess I didn't eat anything after working overtime, why don't you drink some soup first to keep warm."

The man filled Xi Zheng with a bowl of soup and handed it over.

Xi Zheng hesitated: "...uh..."

"Now let's eat honestly," Yue Lou said without raising his head, "If you want to say something, you have to be full and have the strength to say it."

Xi Zheng shut up, held the small bowl in his hand, and drank in small sips.

In fact, I didn't really eat the food cooked by a man, and it was only two days, but I don't know why, it seemed like a century, a little strange, but extraordinarily down-to-earth.

Yue Lou didn't speak, Xi Zheng didn't make a sound, and there was only the sound of chewing on the dining table between the two of them.

After the meal was over, Yue Lou didn't clean up, just pushed the bowl and raised his chin: "Come, sit over, let's chat now."

Xi Zheng's mood that had just calmed down immediately became tense. When he stood up, he crossed his feet and almost fell. He hurriedly supported the chair, wiped his face, and sat down dignifiedly and obediently, folding his hands like he was facing the dean when he was in school. In the lower abdomen, the whole person was tense, holding his breath, waiting for the sentence.

Yue Lou looked at Xi Zheng, and laughed suddenly: "Tsk, why are you more nervous than me, right now the initiative is in your hands."

Xi Zheng was stunned: "Huh?"

"Forget it," Yue Lou smiled, walked over to pluck a handful of Xi Zheng's hair, and sat down in front of Xi Zheng with Dama Jindao, "Let's talk about something practical."

"I always feel that I want you to say it yourself. I may have to wait until the end of time, so let me say it."

"You have feelings for me," Yue Lou pointed out, "Although I don't know if you have fantasized about me in that aspect, but at least you have a good impression of me that cannot be defined as a friend. Your attitude at that time also You are telling me that you intend to accept me, but can you tell me why you retracted all of a sudden?"

"And it's too much to sentence me, just say 'don't talk for now', then avoid me, and don't even come back all night. You, go home?"

Xi Zheng hesitated for a moment: "...I'll go to the mirror... Liu Jing, that's where the buddy who helped me decorate the house."

"Because I know that being together is not something that two people love each other."

Yue Lou instantly understood: "Luo Wei? Are you using her as a reference?"

Xi Zheng is very tired: "She... If she is a little weaker and gives in, I may not have much thought, but her attitude is very clear, her life is her own, her sexual orientation is her own, her family is her own, she wants to When confronting her sexual orientation head-on, live her own life without being affected by her family. But... you know, her father beat her, and even wanted to sell her to someone else's family as a wife , we are helpless until we have no definite evidence that she was kidnapped. Domestic violence, if it is pure domestic violence, if Luo Wei does not call the police to file a case or collect evidence, it will be difficult for her father to stop this behavior, but she cannot be cruel To do this, the only thing you can do is to see if you can sever the relationship, but she... there is nothing I can do about it..."

Yue Lou was silent for a moment: "I won't cause you these troubles. My parents... left early, and they all knew about me before. They just said, find someone to support each other to live."

"But I'm not!" Xi Zheng became emotional all of a sudden, "I still have a mother! My mother won't accept it! My mother hopes for my well-being, she is afraid that I will go astray!"

"What do you mean walking crookedly?" Yue Lou asked, "How can you be crooked if you walk upright?"

Xi Zheng: "Two men, others point and poke their backs. Which parent is willing to let their children bear such pressure?"

Yue Lou: "What about you?"

He looked closely at Xi Zheng, and said seriously: "These are secondary, the most important thing is your attitude. Do you have any plans to go on with me? Yes, tell me, and we will solve the rest slowly; No...you don't?"

Xi Zheng turned his face sideways in embarrassment: "This is not important..."

"This is the most important thing!" Yue Lou said, and after a while, his attitude softened a bit, "Give me an accurate word. It doesn't matter whether it is Ling Chi or acquitted, just speak up."

Xi Zheng looked at Yue Lou in a daze, and when he lowered his head, a bean-sized teardrop dripped down his eye socket and onto the back of his hand, and he choked up a bit: "Yes."

"I...I just feel you..." Xi Zheng's tears couldn't stop all of a sudden, he covered his face with his hands, he was very confused, "I don't know where I fell in love with, obviously it's a man, but I still... ...you can't control yourself..."

As soon as Yuelou went upstairs to Xizheng, the two of them hugged each other tightly for the first time, their beating hearts kept pace, and the hot body temperature was transmitted to each other along the sweater, his palms, his arms, his The shoulders, the hollow of his neck, are all opened towards the Xizheng, and the Xizheng is tightly embedded on his body, inseparable.

"Your words are enough."

Yue Lou said softly: "Silly boy, there is still me."

"You have to believe that if two people walk together, no amount of pressure will break us, as long as you believe in me."

Xi Zheng rested his head on Yuelou's neck, dazed for a moment, and flinched when he heard his low voice: "I'm a policeman... I have a mother... I..."

Yue Lou patted Xi Zheng's back lightly, tenderly and affectionately.

"Don't worry, don't worry, kid, I won't make you helpless, I will tell you that falling in love with me is the most correct choice you have ever made."
