The Swan Bay Murders

I think this time is probably the bravest and craziest time in my life so far.

Yes, I kissed Brother Bai Chuan.

A little bit of water, just a little bit of water.

But it was my first time.

When my lips touched, I felt my whole body burn.

Brother Bai Chuan seemed to be taken aback by me, and stood there blankly, looking at me without blinking.

I suddenly discovered that kissing is not so unbearable. I don't know if it's because Yi Li's treatment has been effective for me these days, or because I am not so resistant to kissing.

I didn't try it with Berlin, I just said that I don't like it, I don't accept it, I don't want it, so I never tried it.

The kiss just now was very light and shallow. When I turned around and sat back down again, I felt that there was no room for me, but I couldn't help thinking about it.

It's still shameful, but I'm actually a little obsessed with this feeling.

My hands are on my knees, and my whole body is tense.

This small house became quiet again, I was very afraid that Brother Bai Chuan would hear my heartbeat.

Brother Bai Chuan seemed to be smiling, but I wasn't sure and didn't dare to look at him.

He moved closer to me, then grabbed my hand and pulled me back into his arms.

My side face was leaning on his shoulder, like a bad kid who was proud of himself after successfully playing a trick, secretly smiling.

My heart was beating so fast that I couldn't stop it from conveying to Bai Chuan how happy I was.

His arms are so comfortable, I smell the taste of a happy life.

He asked me, "Do you really love me?"

I nodded, and then replied, "Love."

He was laughing again, and his soft, warm breath hit my ear.

I asked him back, "What about you?"

"I really love you too."

For a split second, I felt like we were two guys having an affair, and the thought of it made me sick, but I really wanted to be with him.

Maybe I was also influenced by Yi Li. I know that the road ahead will be bumpy, but I still want to give it a go.

The lessons learned between me and Berlin are there. If I can’t recover, one day I will repeat the same mistakes with Brother Bai Chuan.

I don't want that.

One failed love is enough. I have learned enough lessons and endured enough hardships. Over the years, no matter what happened, I never complained about God’s injustice. Instead, I was always grateful all the way.

This time, it's my turn to be happy.

Taste the taste of love again, and my mood is very different from before.

I don't know what's wrong, but now I can instantly blush just by looking at each other with Brother Bai Chuan, obviously it wasn't like this before.

The two of us came back without dinner. Although we are now immersed in the joy and excitement of expressing our hearts to each other, we will still be hungry when we should be hungry.

My stomach growled untimely, Brother Bai Chuan hugged me and laughed endlessly.

"There is no food at home." I really can't stand myself, how can I be so ashamed at this time.

He laughed enough and pulled me to stand up: "Let's go, go to the supermarket."

As soon as I got up, he suddenly stopped moving, looked back at me seriously and said, "Or, do you think about going home with me?"

I shook my head quickly, and said to him in a panic: "I don't want it now, I don't know how to tell my uncle and aunt..."

He looked at me for a few seconds and seemed a bit lost.

Feeling sorry, I took the initiative to squeeze his hand.

Brother Bai Chuan smiled, raised his other hand and pinched my nose: "It's all up to you."

I followed him to the entrance, he changed his shoes first, and then stood there waiting for me.

When I looked up, I saw him leaning against the door and smiling at me. His smile fascinated me. The brows and the corners of his eyes were sweet and warm.

I just opened my mouth to tell him to go out, but he suddenly came over, quickly left a kiss on my lips, and then opened the door and ran out.

I heard his laughter echoing in the corridor. He is 30 years old, and he looks like a prankster.

I raised my hand and touched the place where he kissed, the honey in my heart was about to overflow.

It turns out that kissing is not only not annoying, but so happy.

We bought some vegetables in the supermarket downstairs, he pushed the cart and I picked them.

When I picked up the ingredients, I turned around and asked him for his opinion. He and I were like the most ordinary family couple that can be seen everywhere.

I have to say that I was lucky in my life to meet Brother Bai Chuan.

Because of him, I not only have a family, but also a lover.

It's just that I really didn't think about how to tell my uncles and aunts that after their youngest son died, I, who was originally an embarrassing person, was with their eldest son again.

No matter how you say it, it's hard to accept.

Coming out of the supermarket, Brother Bai Chuan was carrying a shopping bag. The two of us did not hold hands, but we walked forward slowly with our arms glued together.

No one speaks, everyone has their own concerns, but they are all laughing.

My mobile phone rang suddenly, and I took it out to see that the caller turned out to be Yi Li.

I remembered our agreement, I came to see Brother Bai Chuan, he should have gone to see Xu Zhao.

"Yi Li?"

"Jiang Luo! I was hit by a car!"

Brother Bai Chuan and I didn't have time to deliver the food upstairs, so we drove directly to the hospital.

According to Yi Li, after we parted, he went to find Xu Zhao, but the man had a temporary mission and asked him to find a place to wait.

Yi Li waited for a long time but couldn't wait for anyone. He was in a bad mood, so he decided to go home.

When I got home, I was hit by a car.

What's funny is that the driver who caused the accident was trying to stop the car, but failed to stop repeatedly, and accidentally knocked down Yi Li who was standing aside.

"Your waist... all right?" I looked at Yi Li lying there with tears in his eyes, and felt very pitiful for him.

"It's over." Yi Li pouted, "I don't want to live anymore."

Brother Bai Chuan asked the frowning boy standing beside him, "Are you the one who hit him?"

His tone was not very good, and he might have frightened the other party. The man looked like a college student with a black schoolbag in his hand.

"I, I really didn't do it on purpose." The boy scratched his hair and said depressedly, "I will be responsible."

"Can you take responsibility?" Yi Li yelled at him, "I have to fly to Vancouver the day after tomorrow, this is fine, let alone the day after tomorrow, I won't be able to fly next month!"

"He didn't fold your wings." Brother Bai Chuan didn't know what was going on, but suddenly complained.

I couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

"What do you two mean?" Yi Li looked at us, then widened his eyes and said, "Don't tell me you two are already together!"

The boy standing on the other side of the bed was startled again, and whispered, "Are you gay?"

"None of your business!" Yi Li continued to yell at him, "We haven't settled our debt yet!"

"I know." The boy took out a slip and said, "I'll pay the money first, the doctor said you'll have to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time, and you won't be able to move around recently."

The boy went out, and I looked at Yi Li.

He flattened his lips and said to me: "Look how pitiful I am, I won't be able to ride in the future."

He's always like this, he can say anything shameless, and the funny thing is, nothing he says will make people feel dirty.

"Don't think about that, what about work?"

"I'll call later and talk about the situation, it's really bad luck."

The boy who bumped into Yi Li left his contact information and gave Yi Li his ID card, and then said that he had something to do and left for a while.

As soon as he left, Yi Li took his ID card and complained, "This photo is ugly enough."

Brother Bai Chuan peeled an apple for me and asked me in a low voice if I was hungry.

I'm very hungry, but Yi Li is already like this, it feels bad not to accompany him.

"You two are here to show your affection, right?" Yi Li threw the ID card on the hospital bed, "Hurry up and do what you want, I don't want to see you two!"

I put the ID card that he threw aside and put it on the table, and glanced at the boy's name and date of birth.

Sure enough, he should be a student. He is only 22 years old this year, and his name sounds nice, An Sinian.

This boy is quite interesting, he looks good, and the photo taken on his ID card is horrible, no wonder Yi Li said that.

"Let's go eat first, and come back later." Brother Bai Chuan came over, took my hand, and asked Yi Li, "Can I bring you something to eat?"

Yi Li's eyes were glued to the hands we were holding, and he squinted his eyes and said, "I'm a good assist in China. I want to eat pig's trotters. Ten, you treat me!"

Of course we won't buy him ten pig's trotters, and he won't be able to eat them all.

After eating casually at the small restaurant outside the hospital, he packed Yi Li with fried rice with eggs.

When he went back, Brother Bai Chuan said with a wry smile: "I should have a romantic candlelight dinner today to celebrate that we are together."

The back of his hand rubbed against the back of mine intentionally or unintentionally, which made me feel embarrassed to hold hands with him.

"It's okay." I said duplicity, "I don't really care about these formal things."

After I finished speaking, I thought about it, and added a sentence: "Of course, it would be even better if there is a chance to make it up."

Brother Bai Chuan started laughing again, he laughed more and more frequently recently.

Back at the door of the ward, An Sinian was lying on the glass window of the door and peeking in.

"Why don't you go in?" I asked him.

He was startled again, took two steps back and said, "Well, I, I'm a little afraid of him."

I looked in from the window, and Yi Li was staring at us. An Sinian must have been caught when he peeked just now.

"What are you afraid of?" I pushed open the door, "Come in, don't be sneaky."

After An Sinian came in, he didn't get close to the hospital bed, but stood far away and said, "I called my mother, and she said she would come over later, so why don't you hire a nurse for you? I won’t be able to get out of bed for a while.”

Yi Li was so angry that his teeth were itching, I sat on the side and fed him.

"I should invite one." Brother Bai Chuan poured a glass of water and put it on the table next to him, "We usually have to go to work, who has time to take care of you?"

"He!" Yi Li pointed at An Sinian, and turned his gaze away from Brother Bai Chuan: "You hit me, didn't you say you were responsible? That's just right, I don't want a nurse, I want you!"
