dark crossing

He stood stiffly under the street lamp until five o'clock, and there was still no sign of light in the sky.The east covered with dark clouds was pitch black, and the rumble of thunder rumbled like waves chasing the sun and wanting to swallow everything.

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, cold raindrops fell without warning, but Lu Xinghe didn't notice it, and still stood there blankly.

Before he was completely drenched, a black umbrella was held in front of him, and he turned his head suddenly. The person who came was tall, and his eyes moved up along the crystal ball at the end of the umbrella handle, only to see a strange face with Chinese characters.

It's not Lin Youbandit.

Lu Xinghe was disappointed and thankful.

"Thank you." He thanked hoarsely.

"You're welcome." The man said politely: "It's already autumn, and you'll catch a cold if you're exposed to such rain. You seem to live near here. Please go back early, and don't worry your family."

Lu Xinghe looked at him and frowned slightly: "How do you know that I live near here?"

The man politely pointed to the card in his hand, then pointed to the community on the right: "Your card has the name of the community printed on it."

"Oh." Lu Xinghe nodded, and straightened the umbrella that was leaning towards him: "I'll go back now, thank you."

As he spoke, he turned and exited under the umbrella. The rain was heavy, but within a few seconds it drenched half of his clothes, which were already soaked in dark water, even more wet.The man followed him step by step: "You seem to need an umbrella more than I do. Take it, I still have it in the car."

Lu Xinghe stopped, "No, thank you."

Although the other party was polite, he was very persistent. He put the umbrella in his hand, turned around and rushed into the rain curtain.

Not far away, there was indeed a black Mercedes-Benz with an unfamiliar license plate, parked at the main entrance of the breakfast shop.

The lady proprietress of the breakfast shop is aggressive, and she is notoriously difficult to talk to in the nearby shops.Today, she was very friendly, and she was willing to let someone block her front door.

Lu Xinghe held up the umbrella that he got for no reason, and took a few steps forward in his mind.Suddenly remembered that the proprietress had always been very polite to the polite and thoughtful Lin Youbandi.He stopped suddenly, and caught a glimpse of a golden "" engraved on the handle of the umbrella.

What a kind passer-by!This is a handmade umbrella that Lin Youban specially customized for him from Italy when he was filming a fashion show half a year ago!

Turning around abruptly, I saw a familiar figure standing beside the car, under the eaves of the breakfast shop, watching him silently.

The distance was too far, and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly through the continuous rain curtain.But it must be Lin Youband, there is no reason, he just knows!Even if it turns into ashes one day, he can recognize it at a glance!

Lu Xinghe felt sore, his fingers holding the handle of the umbrella turned white, and his face turned even paler.Home is in the opposite direction, he should turn around and leave immediately.

The rain was heavy, and the raindrops hit the umbrella surface overwhelmingly, making a hoarse "rustling" sound. This tiny force of unity shook the black titanium steel umbrella ribs.

Lu Xinghe, who was holding an umbrella, could clearly hear every drop of rain falling on the umbrella.It seemed that countless people were weeping silently in the clouds, and those tears covered the heads of people with the sound of rain, and he wanted to cry too.

Every minute, every second has an urge to cry.

It's really not like him.He is obviously not weak at all, at most he is just unhappy.

Lu Xinghe used to be a person who was extremely good at making decisions.He is the best at cutting through messes with a sharp knife, almost arbitrarily fast.But facing Lin Youband, he was hesitant and entangled, and he had become not like himself.

"Go back, don't stand, you'll catch a cold if you get wet."

In the rain, the Lin Youband, who made him suffer so much, was wearing clean casual clothes. With the incandescent lamp as the background, he let the cold white artificial light draw his deep and slender silhouette particularly far away.This handsome man who looked at him quietly did not look like a despicable liar, he always kept his back straight, like the tallest tree.

"Go back." The other party raised the volume and repeated it again.

The familiar voice made Lu Xinghe wake up like a dream.He wanted to say: Okay, let's go back together.

But there was an electric current starting from the back of the neck, all the way up, numb all the way to the scalp.Always remind him that the scar must never heal and forget the pain, not to mention that the scar has never healed, and there is still a small bulge on the back of the neck.

Controlled by pessimistic emotions, Lu Xinghe was like a marionette whose sound had been pulled out by a puppeteer. He turned around stiffly, his lips trembling, unable to speak a word.

He could neither move forward nor retreat, so hesitantly and stubbornly stood in the rain, drenched alone, leaving Li Ming and the man watching him in a dilemma.

Lin Youban sighed, reached out to take the umbrella from the bodyguard with a square face, and walked towards him with the umbrella open.

He only wanted to look at him from a distance, even if it would be more painful to watch, it was better than looking through the cold screen.

But I don't want to, this is self-deception, drinking poison to quench thirst. ——At this moment, Lin Youbing, who had always believed in reason, could hardly control himself. He couldn't suppress the desire to hug each other in his mind.

"Go back," he said.

Lu Xinghe turned his head and looked at him with paint-like eyes, his tone was much calmer than expected.

"Back to where?"

"Where do you want to go back?"

"I want to go home."

Lin Youband looked complicated: "Which family?"

have your home.equal home.Won't lie to my home.

Lu Xinghe didn't speak, but his heart was hoarse.

The driver drove the car slowly in front of the two, and the bodyguard with a square face closed the window and waited quietly in the rain.

Lin Youband opened the car door: "Don't get sick from the rain, go in."

Lu Xinghe thought, will he get sick after a little rain?Do you think I'm made of tofu?

Facing his silent insistence, he always pretended to be a man who indulged him to the point of no bottom line, and he softened his tone to coax him: "Hey, don't mess around, be obedient."

But in fact?He always pretends to be a democracy and is really a dictatorship.

Lu Xinghe pursed his lips heavily, and sat in the car with cool steam all over his body.

"Where are you going, sir?" the driver asked.

The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat also turned his head, silently waiting for the owner's instructions.

Lin Youband turned a deaf ear to it.At this moment, he only wanted to shake Lu Xinghe's hand on his knee.But after hesitating for a while, he finally gave up and asked him patiently, "Where do you want to go?"

Lu Xinghe raised his head and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Lin Youban was taken aback by his question.

"I'll listen to you."

Lu Xinghe said: "I just want to hear the truth."

The man who was questioned was silent for a while, and finally frowned and said: "I want to take you back to my place. I don't worry about you being alone."

Lu Xinghe nodded: "Then, let's go."

The driver who didn't dare to act without authorization watched Lin Youband's every move from the rearview mirror all the time. He didn't turn the steering wheel until he nodded as well and started to turn around.

The look of the driver and the bodyguards looking up to Lin Yougang made Lu Xinghe want to laugh.But he smiled hard for a long time, but still found that the corners of his mouth were as straight as if welded, and the upper and lower lips were tightly stretched into a cold and hard line that did not relax, no matter how the laughing muscles were pulled, they still remained motionless.

The car headed east all the way, bypassing the cross-river tunnel, but they did not drive in the direction of Tangcheng Binjiang.

Of course Lu Xinghe also knew that the road the driver took was not going back to Tangcheng Binjiang.But he didn't speak. For him, as long as he gets in the car, it's the same wherever he goes.

And Lin Youbandi, who was sitting next to him, also remained silent. There was a long and narrow handle used to place a water cup between them, but it was as wide as a moat that split a valley.

If you really want to count, this is the first time in so many years that the two of them have been separated for such a long time.But after reuniting after a long absence, there is nothing to say between the two of them.
