like drinking ice

I was completely terrified.

It wasn't until Li Xiu grabbed the man in black with his backhand and smashed him to the ground with a catch that I changed my mind a little.

There is red in front of my eyes.

Only a little bit of my hair was stained on my body, but Li Xiu's entire back, as well as the arms around me, were all scarlet red, with a strong smell of blood, and the blood-stained clothes stuck to his body, sticky and terrifying .

I opened my mouth, but couldn't come out with complete words.

"You, are you injured..." I grabbed Li Xiu's arm and asked, trying to check his condition. Fortunately, the cold and sticky stuff seemed to be someone else's blood. His back was broad and strong, and there was no wound.

Without saying a word, Li Xiu gritted his teeth and stepped on the assailant's back. Unknowingly, he twisted it hard, and the man's arm was thrown onto the back at a strange angle. The man whose face was bloody and bloody and did not speak finally screamed loudly.

Li Xiu grabbed his hair skillfully and lifted it up.

"Who sent you here? Do you have any other people? Tell me about your acquaintances. Otherwise, I will send you to the King of Hades."

This series of movements was so proficient, I stood aside and watched, and my heart calmed down a lot. Then I felt scared for a while, my legs were so weak that I couldn't stand, and I sat on the ground.

The man confessed while howling.

"It's Ning Yue, he sent me over."

The expression on Li Xiu's face is very similar to his father at this moment, it is so cold that it is almost frozen, the Li family seems to be born with this characteristic, the angrier they are, the calmer they are.

"The Ning family? Why are they targeting me?"

"No, no..." He exerted a little force on his feet, and the man howled in pain: "I'm not going to deal with you, I don't know who you are! I'm going to deal with him!"

"Who are you going to deal with?" Li Xiu's leather boots rolled, and he could almost hear the sound of that person's ribs.

"He! Deal with him! It's him!"

That person was looking at me.

Li Xiu glanced at me, but the anger in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Speak clearly to me! Don't fucking court death!"

"Ning Yue gave me 3 yuan and asked me to beat him up." The man looked at me with a little fear in his eyes: "Then throw dirty things on him."

Li Xiu kicked an iron bucket that fell beside him far away.

"What dirty thing?"

"Blood, pig blood." The man didn't dare to look at me again: "Ning Yue said that he is an educated person, he has no strength, just beat him up and then splash something, I see you two walking together, dare not fight , ready to splash and leave."

I've slowed down.

Obviously his hands were still trembling uncontrollably, but his heart cooled down, as if he was trapped in the cold ice, and his mind became clear.I stood up from the ground, walked in front of him, and squatted down.

"Why did Ning Yue ask you to beat me?" I asked him.

That person dared not speak.

Li Xiu kicked him hard.

"Say it!"

"Ning Yue said it was because you were cheap and robbed other people's men."

I was standing downstairs in the residential area at dusk. It was getting dark and the wind was blowing, which made my whole body chill. I suddenly felt like laughing.

I have always, I think, a person with a clear conscience, living a clean life, not doing anything to be ashamed of others, and not getting into any embarrassing situations. a decent person.

But what an ugly scene.

So ironic, so insulting.

The man moaning softly on the ground was just a wretched local hooligan.I thought I would never have anything to do with this kind of person in my life.

I've always felt that even if I can't be like Li Xiu and the others, I can be a person so powerful that no one dares to mess with me.But as long as my grandma said, live decently, live with a clear conscience, and be a decent person, those embarrassing, unseemly, insulting and belittled things will not fall on me.

Grandma was right, it was my own fault.

Floating life steals love.

I stole a summer of happiness and lost my dignity.

Li Xiu's phone rang.

From the look on his face when he answered the phone, I knew it was Li Zhurong over there.

"...Well, it's okay, it's a small matter, I can solve it myself...not injured...he was not injured...I'll take him back with Uncle Li and the others right away." He said, looking at the shade of a tree not far away , I followed his gaze and saw a few people dressed like bodyguards standing there. They must have been standing there for a long time—the only son of the Li family would naturally be protected by someone along the way, but it was just because nothing happened. What's the matter, so no one came over and let him solve it by himself.

"You go back with me, it's not safe here." After he made the phone call, there was still a hint of anger in his eyes, but he restrained himself a lot: "Isn't it the Ning family, this is a big knot!"

On the way back, no one spoke. The Uncle Li he was talking about was Li Li, Li Zhurong’s bodyguard. Because he was in Beijing, he used it for him. On the way back, he sat next to him. The driver was a security guard, and several others, Judging from the sitting posture, they should be all soldiers, and they all have high professionalism. Li Xiu didn't say anything, and they didn't ask a word. They just took a look at the blood scabs on my hair that had gradually solidified, and the blood gourd clothes that Li Xiu took off.

If they knew the reason for this incident, they would probably feel ashamed because they protected someone like me.

And they will know sooner or later, this matter will become another anecdote in this circle, and become the laughing stock of the rumors.

Being approached by others and splashed with pig's blood turned out to be because of the jealousy of "robbing someone else's man".She is just the same as the mistress who was stripped naked in broad daylight outside.

I am a man myself.

Funny and sarcastic.

The anger at the beginning gradually passed away, leaving only a burst of chills, like eating something bad in the cold winter, feeling cold and disgusting from the bottom of my heart.

I didn't want to talk, I didn't want to move, I didn't even want to get mad at anyone.

I just feel sick.

"Don't tell my dad about this." I only said this to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu pursed his lips, probably wanting to say a few words to comfort me, but he had never comforted anyone in his life, and he couldn't learn it for a while, so he just clenched his fists, and the anger in his eyes became brighter.

He is complaining for me, I know it.

I went home through the back door, locked myself in the previous room, threw all my clothes into the trash can, turned on the shower in the bathroom, and poured water over and over until the water became cold, until I squatted in the bathroom On the floor, he vomited uncontrollably.

I can still smell blood.

I feel dirty.

By the time I washed myself clean, it was already late at night.

I changed into my pajamas, walked along the balcony of the tea room on the second floor, and climbed to the balcony where I used to watch the moonlight with Zheng Ao. I haven’t been here for a long time, and there was a layer of dust on it. of beer and began to watch the moonlight.From this balcony, you can have a panoramic view of half of Li’s family. On the left side of Li’s villa, there is a tall broad-leaved tree with beautiful white flowers. Plants, speaking of ibis and dove tree, I always think it is dove tree.It's a pity that it is too high and I can't see clearly. I can only see pieces of very beautiful white dotted among the branches and leaves, as bright as moonlight.

I saw the servants shuttle in the corridor preparing a variety of suppers. Li Xiu is young and still growing tall. These are for him.I saw Li Li leading a few people, coming and going, probably because of Channing's house. I saw two beams of headlights slowly approaching Li's house in the dark night, passing through the greenery in front of Li's house, stopping At the gate, the housekeeper went to pick him up in person.

I know who that is.

It's Zheng Ao.

His posture is still very elegant, and his figure is also good. He walked along the path in the middle of the lawn, and then Li Xiu rushed over and grabbed him by the collar. Li Xiu's actions were still so straightforward. The housekeeper probably thought it was impolite to stand aside and watch the guests being beaten. , found an excuse to slip away.

Zheng Ao opened his hand, and the two of them rarely fought because there were so many people at the gate.

Then they walked around the tree and walked to the greenhouse behind the villa.

Yes, it is the greenhouse under my balcony. When the tree next to the greenhouse was not pruned before, I could climb up to this balcony along the tree.

I heard their footsteps, and shrank a little inside. It is summer now, and the glass dome of the greenhouse is closed.The two of them stood between the roses and the wooden shelf with orchids. I saw that Li Xiu had changed into a black T-shirt, and Zheng Ao was still wearing a formal white shirt. His attitude was very calm and elegant, and he even smiled.

Li Xiu scolded him loudly.

"You can just cut off your lower body if you can't handle it. Why do you involve Xu Lang! That bastard from the Ning family is also a leader? It's just like a woman, using such obscene tricks..."

Zheng Ao explained calmly.

"At that time, he was rude to Xiao Lang, so I broke up with him. He probably misunderstood."

"Fuck!" Li Xiu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "You are also using your fucking words to lie to me. If you didn't provoke him later, he would come to trouble Xu Lang!"

"That's Wang Lang's troublesome affairs. He was engaged to Ning Yue's sister, and he started to match me up. Ning Yue made himself sentimental."

"Fuck you! If you don't play around with others, you will be affectionate. Don't be ashamed!"

Zheng Ao is a person who can't bear to be wronged, even if Li Xiu took advantage of it, he would get angry if he scolded him repeatedly like this, and he squinted at Li Xiu and said: "Do you think everyone is as impotent as you?"

Li Xiu punched him with one punch.

"It's fun for you to be less f*cking!" He learned free-kicking, and his strikes were quick and ruthless, and he brushed Zheng Ao's cheek with a punch, and he blushed immediately.

Zheng Ao kicked it directly, causing Li Xiu to hit the orchid stand.

"I let you, you are getting more and more energetic!"

"Master wants you to let me pass?!" Li Xiu punched him firmly in the stomach with an uppercut. He should have been really angry, and his face was flushed with anger: "I will teach you for Xu Lang today! You fucking Sleeping with a few whores and rabbits makes me feel like a lover! I despise you from the bottom of my heart!"

"I really care if you think highly of me or not." Zheng Ao has a good kung fu foundation, and his body is very flexible. After being hit twice, he also became angry, and his fists were full of wind, and hit Li Xiu's sore spot.

The two fought for a while, from the original moves to the disorderly fight, directly smashing the orchid pot, Li Xiu had a few bloody cuts on his face by Rose, and was punched in the abdomen , probably out of breath, frowning in pain.Zheng Ao's cheekbones were beaten bruised, he wiped the corner of his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

Both of them were tired and had an intermission.

Li Xiu kicked away the fragments of the flowerpot and sat directly on the ground, while Zheng Ao was more particular and leaned on the shelf.Both were out of breath, with bruised noses and swollen faces.

Li Xiu spat hard.

"Little shemale, I really look down on you." He looked at Zheng Ao with disgust and said, "You sleep with so many people, you really don't think it's dirty. You sleep like a bastard, after all, you whore someone else, Or did someone else cheat on you?"

Zheng Ao smiled.

No matter how embarrassed he is, as long as he smiles, he will be radiant.

"You don't understand..." He said: "Young people are just playing, why care about who plays who, as long as you enjoy it. The world is so big, there are always things you haven't played before."

Li Xiu still sneered.

"You're playing with yourself, why bother to provoke Xu Lang." Li Xiu looked at him contemptuously: "He lives with you like this without a name, and you spend money outside, is it considered a concubine? Is it considered stealing?"

I felt nausea again in my stomach.

Zheng Ao didn't speak for a long time.

He leaned on the shelf with orchids, looked up, and didn't know what he was looking at. Beside his face, there was half a discounted orchid, which was blue-purple and very bright, against his pale face. , unexpectedly matched.

Then he laughed.

He took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket, threw one to Li Xiu, and lit one himself.

In the dense smog, his expression was indistinct, and I couldn't see clearly, but I heard his voice clearly.

"Xiao Lang is different," he said.

Yes, Xiao Lang is different.

In the past 15 years, many times, my inquiries, or temptations, or expectations, have stopped at this sentence. I did not ask any more questions, and I just stayed with this sentence. After so many years.

But Li Xiu asked for me.

He said, "Then why the hell aren't you with Xu Lang?"

Zheng Ao chuckled lightly.

His laugh was also shrouded in smoke, only the voice was still clear.

He said: "It's not that we are different, we have to be together. I haven't had enough fun yet, and I can't take it anymore. Xiao Lang is a serious person, so it's not suitable for me."

Li Xiu threw the cigarette aside.

"I fucking want to punch you."

"Haven't you already beaten me?" Zheng Ao smiled and pointed to the bruise on his cheek: "According to your logic, splitting me into dozens of parts is not enough."

He said: "It's not that he likes me, I want to be with him."

I think, I know why I've been feeling nauseous today.

What disgusts me is not the blood that is splashed on me, but myself.

It's just emotion, it's just competition, it's just someone else coming to make trouble. In relationships, such things are not uncommon.An angry supporting character, because he fell in love with the same person as the protagonist, came to trouble the protagonist, which would be a cliché plot in a TV series.

However, he doesn't like me, so I'm not the main character.

I can't be the protagonist, I'm the laughing stock.

I sat on the balcony and laughed happily. I laughed so hard that I burst into tears. I laughed so hard that the two people who had just finished fighting looked up at me.

They were amazed and their expressions were wonderful, but that's none of my business.I have to go back to sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow, I have to work hard to earn money, and be a lawyer.

So I stood up, smiled and waved to Zheng Ao.

I said, "Goodbye, Xiao Ao."
