dark crossing

When Lu Xinghe was young, he was once obsessed with various detective novels.His reasoning ability also increased with the increase in the number of such novels.

Sometimes, he can even find out whether he is dreaming through reasoning.

Like now.

This dream is very realistic.

He dreamed that one day, he returned home alone because he finished work early.

Lin Youband had a meeting in another city, and he could only come back at night.

They originally made an appointment to have supper together, but because the advertiser temporarily changed the shooting plan, Lu Xinghe accidentally had half a day free.

When he got home, he happily took out a box of ice cream from the refrigerator, and brought a bunch of snacks from the snack cabinet. Sitting in the living room with a computer and playing games.

The fierce battle was in full swing, but the screen of the computer suddenly went black. Lu Xinghe checked the hardware and found that the charger was broken.The computer was powered off and couldn't be turned on, but he still wanted to continue playing, so he went to Lin Youband's study to borrow the computer.

As luck would have it, the door of the study room, which had been locked all along, was ajar.

This is not the first time Lu Xinghe entered the study, but the first time he entered alone.

The computer has a password, but the question prompt is silly - the birthday of the person you love most.

Lu Xinghe smiled, and confidently entered the six digits of his date of birth.

Unsurprisingly, the computer unlocked successfully.

On the desktop without even a recycle bin, there is only one folder, and the name of the folder is "Galaxy Forever".

Lu Xinghe's heart moved, and he opened it with a smile.

In the chaos of sleep, Lu Xinghe thought, this must be a dream.Because if he was not dreaming, he would never open that folder again.

This dream is more like a memory of a scene that actually happened.It's just that he was a witness at the time, but when he thinks about it now, he cut it from the perspective of a bystander.

It is far less calm than a real bystander.

His soul broke into the dream, but his body was imprisoned by Lin Youband's pillow. Cold sweat condensed into dense drops of water on his forehead, and even the bed sheet was wet.

In Lu Xinghe's dream, the smile froze on his face.

In that folder are photos of him from childhood to adulthood and in various periods.The shooting backgrounds are different, but one thing is the same - the photos were taken before he and Lin Youband met.

Although this is only a long-time memory, the sudden panic that surged from the bottom of my heart is still so real.

He recalled the first time he saw Lin Youbandit.

That day, for the only remaining presidential suite in the hotel, his assistant almost started fighting with Lin Youband's bodyguards at the reception in the hotel lobby.

The receptionist at the front desk apologized and explained that because of their system failure, the number of remaining rooms at the time of receiving the order did not match the actual vacant room inventory, which resulted in a room being booked by two different guests.

This is a terrible mistake with a probability of only one in ten million.

As for the specifications of the hotel room, Lu Xinghe himself doesn't really care too much about it. His sleep quality is very good, and he always sleeps as soon as he touches the pillow. Whether it is the presidential suite or not doesn't affect his sleep at all.

But this time the situation is special, he specially booked this hotel for his parents to celebrate their wedding anniversary, it is really embarrassing to have such an oolong at this time.

Just when the two sides were at loggerheads, Lin Youbandit came.

The first time Lu Xinghe saw him, he felt an inexplicable affection.

It is different from a lot of aggressive, handsome or handsome male stars in the entertainment industry.

This person has a gentle face that makes people unable to guard against.

Lu Xinghe looks outstanding, in the words of fans, our Xinghe's face has its own background music from idol dramas and the smell of cologne from the auction house.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter where he goes, he can easily reap a wave of praise.

Therefore, his aesthetic standards are also extremely high, and he almost never thinks anyone looks good.But as soon as Lin Youban appeared, he felt a heat in his heart for no reason, as if he was hit by some kind of wonderful light beam, and he felt a sense of joy spontaneously, as if lost and found again, or reunited after a long absence.

Lin Youband has a special temperament that makes him feel at ease.

This feeling attracts Lu Xinghe who lacks a sense of security due to being abducted as a child.It made him involuntarily want to get closer to him.

It is said that each other is born from the heart.Lin Youband's personality is as gentle as his appearance.

When he smiled, his eyebrows were clear, and he was as kind as a Bodhisattva sitting on a shrine.

I heard that Lu Xinghe reserved the room for his parents' anniversary.The elegant man who made Lu Xinghe's heart beat faster for no reason smiled a little surprised: "July NO.12? My parents' wedding anniversary is also today."

He offered to change his room to an executive suite, and instead left the presidential suite to Lu Xinghe.

love at first sight.Blushing silently, Lu Xinghe secretly stamped it.In the name of gratitude, he left Lin Youband's contact information, and not long after, he invited him to have dinner together.

He had never chased anyone, so he was so proud that he was a little timid, and even the later confession was under the guise of truth or dare.

Before seeing this document, for quite a long period of time, Lu Xinghe thought it was Lin Youbandi who was chasing after him.

But he didn't know that at the front desk of the hotel that day, Lin Youban, who was talking to him with a faint smile, had wet palms because of nervousness.

The photos lying in the file folder in front of him, which were deliberately collected by others, made Lu Xinghe, who was trafficked as a child and had a hard time trusting anyone, flustered.

Maybe Lin Youband was his fan in the first place?He subconsciously defended his lover.

But what made his hair stand on end was that besides the photos, there was another separate file in the folder, which listed all his relatives and interpersonal relationships in detail, down to the fact that each person had the same relationship with him every month on average. The number of meetings, and even the habits and hobbies of the other party are listed next to each other.

With a stiff face, Lu Xinghe clicked on the sub-file named "Other Folders" under the same folder.

There is a 20-second video stored in it.

In just 20 seconds, the second hand ticked twenty times, but it turned into a long nightmare that he could never get rid of.

In the video, Lu Qiuming, who had drugged his drink, held up his ID card.

Severe burns made him change from a popular niche that everyone loves to a person who is neither human nor ghost.

The eyelashes of those eyes, which were always known for being sentimental and melancholy, were burned off, and the original deep eye sockets festered until only a deep red scar remained.The right eye socket is empty, and the once deep eyelids are wrinkled, shrinking into the eye socket without eyeballs.

The other eyeball, which was still in the socket, was also covered with an ominous gray shade that symbolized blindness.And the once smooth skin was also covered with disgusting and twisting strips of earthworm-like flesh.

Lu Qiuming originally had a rough and hoarse voice, but he knelt in front of the camera and swore in pain: "I, Lu Qiuming, will never have any ill intentions for Lu Xinghe in the future, otherwise I will live and die at my own risk!"

Lu Xinghe was so frightened that he threw away the mouse.

It was already dark, and he sat in the dark living room without even turning on the lights, waiting for Lin Youbandi to come back.

His mind was a mess of boiling paste.

The inconsistencies in the past when getting along with Lin Youbandi appeared one by one at this moment.

For example, he recalled that Chu Huainan once mentioned that the wedding anniversaries of both he and Lin Youband's parents were in November, not the No. 12 in July that Lin Youband had told him.

For another example, Lin Youban clearly stated that he also likes seafood as much as he does.But when he thought about it, he ate very little every time he ate seafood.

……

But for many years to come, Lu Xinghe never thought about why Lin Youbandit, who is meticulous, hidden, and leaves no trace of anything he does, would show his feet so easily.

The power-on password was his birthday, and the folders with those uninhuman files didn't even have passwords.

But in fact, as soon as the computer was logged in, Lin Youban received the notification.

Proficient in IT technology, he turned on the monitor on his mobile phone expressionlessly, and found that Lu Xinghe was sitting in front of the computer with a smile on his face.

Before the other party opened the folder, Lin Youban hesitated for a long time, his fingertips stopped on the screen hesitantly, and finally did not implement any remote operation to encrypt the folder named "Galaxy Forever".

"Boss Lin?" The speaker of the meeting looked at him anxiously.

Lin Youband terminated the meeting and stared at Lu Xinghe's expression on the monitor screen with complicated expressions.

He just watched the other person's expression change from happiness to astonishment, and then from astonishment to fear.

Finally, he knew it all.Lin Youband, who pretended to be bored in front of his lover, thought lightly.

Will he leave?

Hope not.

But if so, are you willing to let him go?

The distraught Lin Youbandi sat alone in the empty conference room making difficult choices.

Let it go, he thought.

You have your mission.It is a heavy, dirty shackle, a burden that you never want your lover to carry.

He shouldn't be like you, living in the dark night forever.

That's just a beam of light that broke in suddenly, but it's not the luck that you can have from beginning to end.Let him go, if you really love him...

He had 1 reasons to convince himself to let go.But the tightly clenched fist on his knee refused to let go.

At this moment, Lin Youban felt out of control for the first time.Never before has reason and emotion clashed so fiercely.

The thought of wanting to keep the other party is like a savage flame, just a little spark will be enough to start a prairie fire.

In the entrance garden at the door of the house, Lin Youban stood until midnight before opening the door.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?"

Although a heart is like frying, his calm and gentle tone is warmer than the warm yellow light in the entrance.

Lu Xinghe was sitting on the sofa watching TV, an old gambling movie was playing on the screen.

He sat in a trance, seemingly concentrating, but in fact, until the ending song was played, he didn't even know who won in the end.

Lin Youban quickly walked up to him.

Lu Xinghe lowered his head and lowered his eyes, refusing to meet his gaze.

So Lin Youband squatted down and looked up at him.

"Xinghe." Lin Youban said, "Let me see your face."

The other party's calm expression that it doesn't matter if the sky falls, reminds the flustered Lu Xinghe of a time when they went to an amusement park together.

Lin Youband, who was afraid of heights, couldn't hold back his stubbornness, so he took a ride on the Ferris wheel with him.

When the space capsule they were in rose to the highest point, Lu Xinghe, who deliberately teased each other, leaned back on the transparent glass back, as if he was about to fall down accidentally.

Lin Youbandi, who had been "grown" on the chair since he entered the hatch, struggled to stand up, and grabbed his hand with horror on his face, cold sweat filled the tightly clenched fingers.

He smiled apologetically for his rare gaffe: "My mother once fell from a high place."

This was the first time Lu Xinghe saw Lin Youband panicked.

He was a little distressed but funny: "I thought you were not afraid of anything! So you are really afraid of heights?"

The gentle man was very strong, he held his hand and refused to let go, his pale lips were like a faded artificial flower, "Mmm."

Lu Xinghe saw that his face was pale, and there seemed to be countless secrets and pain hidden between his frowning brows.His heart suddenly softened, he regretted and sat down next to him, and apologized with his forehead against his forehead: "Sorry, I joked too much, next time don't—"

Lin Youban didn't answer, just bit his lips, and asked him for a kiss of compensation.

The sky was so clear that night that there was not even a cloud.

There was only a full moon and a few stars that couldn't even be covered by neon lights, silently witnessing for him—this person must love him very much, so much that he couldn't be afraid of him.

But in retrospect, that may have been just another nasty lie.

……

Lu Xinghe opened his eyes, panting heavily.

Lin Youbandi was already fully dressed and standing by the bed, holding a steaming bowl of porridge with preserved egg and lean meat in his hand.

"Good morning."

Lu Xinghe sat up all of a sudden, looking around vigilantly.The waist and buttocks covered by the quilt were sore and limp, as if she had been a thief who jumped over the wall last night.

Lin Youban's bright smile made him stunned, and he stretched out his hand to pinch the opponent's arm.

"Does it hurt?"

Lin Youban nodded helplessly.

wake up.But he was dizzy and still had a strong sense of unreality.

They didn't live in Tangcheng Binjiang last night, but in a cultural tourism town on the outskirts of Jianghu City jointly invested by Lin Youband, Chu Huainan and Qiao Yilan.

Unlike the city center built of reinforced concrete, there is a misty mountain forest outside, and even the singing of birds is extraordinarily agile and free.

Shen Ting and Chu Huainan also came, and they were wandering around the town at the moment.

After breakfast, they met at the Yayuan Academy in the small town.

Chu Huainan might not have slept well, and for some reason, the corners of his lips were scratched.

The young man named "Song Ci" beside him looked at him with a hint of apology.

Lu Xinghe, who is good at reasoning, thought blankly, the corner of his mouth is broken, why are you sorry?Could it be that you did it?

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Youban beside him suddenly smiled and asked, "Huainan, what's wrong with your mouth? Ah Ci gnawed it?"

Because he lived in the same room as the very defensive Shen Ting, Chu Huainan, who couldn't help tucking in the quilt, was once again domestically abused last night.

Hearing this, he nodded with a smile.

Shen Ting: ...
