Mr. Butler on the catwalk

This year's Christmas Eve is very lively and very long.

After the dinner, the visiting guests left one after another.However, before the campers could get lost, the staff quickly pushed the long table away and set up a small stage on the spot.

The lighting, sound and microphones are in place, and the keyboard, flashlight and electric guitarist is carrying the equipment on the stage and getting ready——

"Party Time!"

The men roared, and after the loud applause and whistles, the shirts that were taken off were flying all over the sky. When the champagne bottle was opened, the cork rushed to the ceiling, and the CHIVAS was poured down.

This is the time for crazy fun.

Rivers took off his shirt as well, and Luke and Travis ran him across the living room on their shoulders before throwing him on the soft sofa in the middle of the living room.Sasha, who had been sitting on the sofa, screamed in disgust, and Rivers laughed happily.

He is really happy.

Someone jumped onto the stage and took a closer look. It turned out to be the fox-faced Edmund who had always been low-key.He seemed to be drinking too much, with an unnaturally high expression, and shouted: "Let Colin come here!!!"

At the same time, the familiar prelude sounded - Sean yelled - "Don'tTrustME*!! Honey, you picked a good song!!

Edmund tapped the drums and sang into the microphone.At the same time, poor homophobic Colin was also pulled from the far corner and pushed to the front of the stage.

Edmund carried Colin to the front of the stage with one hand, then shook Colin's hand and shook it.

Excited by this scene, Rivers jumped off the sofa and moved to the best viewing position.

The song has reached the chorus part of the second time:

"He wants to touch me—" Edmund sang, pulling Colin's hand around his waist, "he wants to love me—" Edmund put his arms around Colin's waist , "He will never leave me."

In full view, Edmund cupped Colin's face.Colin struggled with his hands, with a desperate and helpless expression on his face—"Please, don't do this, Edmund, you're not, don't do this to me..."

From Rivers' vantage point, all he could see was Colin's hurt, betrayed, terrified face.

Edmund stopped moving, but finally leaned towards Colin.His hands rested on the side of Krillin's face, covering the gap between the two faces.

All the people screamed.

After a long time, Edmund put his hand down, smiled at Colin, and then walked off the stage with the whistle.

Colin stood alone on the stage in a daze for a while, and finally jumped off the stage and ran out in the direction of Edmund.

Rivers was completely dumbfounded, grabbed Luke and said loudly:

"Did you see!! It's just a song and a kiss!! The fox face made that coward fall in love with me!! It's amazing!!"

Luke seemed to have drunk too much, and his chocolate-colored skin was turning red: "So what? If you are envious, you, you can try it yourself..."

Rivers jumped up as if inspired:

"Good idea, that's it!...Please Luke, can you help me find Luo Lin?...Don't look at me like that, just do me a favor? I saw him go to up to the second floor!"

Luke staggered upstairs, and Rivers happily came to the front of the stage and sang the sweet and terribly sweet "Myonlywish*".

"...I want someone to love, someone to hold..."

After singing this sentence, although Luke was not seen, Luo Lin had already appeared at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

"...Santacan you hear me, I have been so good this year, all I want is one thing, tell me my true love is here..."

Luo Lin had already gone downstairs and stood at the door of the gate—oh my god, he was right in front of him.

"He's all I want, just forme, underneath the Christmas tree..."

Rivers smiled triumphantly, and was about to point his finger at the place where Luo Lin was standing——

But Luo Lin didn't notice this at all.He picked up his coat expressionlessly, pushed open the door, and went outside.

Rivers' eyes widened, he dropped the music that was still playing, and wanted to just rush out and stop people, so that Luo Lin could finish listening to the song he was about to sing.

……

It was snowing heavily outside.Luo Lin put on his coat, and there was a creaking sound when his feet stepped on the snow.There was a hustle and bustle inside, but the tranquility outside the door was not disturbed.

Luo Lin didn't meet Luke who said he was looking for him.He would stand in this place simply because a Staff said that someone had been waiting for him outside the door for a long time.

Looking from the window on the second floor, the snow-white night was very deserted, and there were no other people walking on and off the streets.The only figure standing in the snow looked particularly eye-catching.

Luo Lin also hesitated, but finally walked outside the door.

His steps were not fast, and his head was lowered subconsciously.Every time he took a step forward, the shadow of himself under Luo Lin's feet was a little longer - this made him feel that his steps were getting heavier.

Duan Fei was wearing a long black trench coat and standing under the street lamp.His hair had grown, casting a shadow over his forehead.He opened his mouth slightly and let out a breath of white air: "...you are here."

Luo Lin didn't want to see him: "What's the matter?"

"It's Christmas Eve... Merry Christmas."

"……Thanks, you too."

There is no next sentence for a long time.

Luo Lin frowned: "If there is nothing else...then I'll go back."

Duan Fei stretched out his hand to grab Luo Lin's wrist, and Luo Lin couldn't help shaking—it was very cold.

Duan Fei looked up at him: "I hope you can have a meal with me. The only one I know in this city is you. If you have time..."

"Sorry, I still have arrangements later."

"...I know you're hiding from me. But what are you hiding from me?"

Luo Lin turned his head away, but did not answer.

"You said it yourself, you don't love me anymore. I know it. So you don't have to bear with me anymore, and you don't have to be afraid of me anymore. If you can naturally say today that you don't want to see me, then I will now go back."

Duan Fei paused, and said in a deep voice: "But why are you still on the run? You make me feel that you still care about me, even if it's an illusion, how can you let me give up."

Luo Lin's hand held by Duan Fei slowly clenched into a fist.Luo Lin closed his eyes and opened them after a while: "...Just one meal, Duan Fei. Let's say everything we need to say."

Someone's footsteps came from behind.If Luo Lin looked back, he would be able to find that it was Rivers who had finally found his jacket and shoes and was stumbling out——

"Luo..."

Rivers did not shout after all.He saw Luo Lin being held by that unknown man's hand, and Luo Lin just silently followed behind that man.This is completely different from the appearance of Luo Lin that I can usually see.

……

There are very few restaurants that are open at this time and that are not fully booked.

Luo Lin and Duan Fei walked through eleven streets together, and finally found a restaurant with a monotonous decoration and a small facade.

During the family reunion season, no other diners will visit this place except them.The lights in the store were gloomy white energy-saving lamps, and the "OPEN" sign on the window seemed to be cut off, only intermittently glowing.

Luo Lin and Duan Fei sat down at the window seat, and neither of them spoke first.The only impatient waiter in the store threw the menu on the table. Luo Lin waited for Duan Fei to take it first, but Duan Fei handed him the menu: "You go first."

"……have eaten."

Duan Fei didn't say anything else, Shen Sheng ordered a beef hamburger set meal.Luo Lin looked at his blue and white hands with no expression on his face.

The silence continued.When it was meal time, when Duan Fei picked up the red glass bottle on the table and was about to pour it over the French fries in front of him, Luo Lin reached out and stopped him.

Duan Fei looked at him.

"This is chili sauce, and the bottle next to it is ketchup."

In Duan Fei's eyes, something seemed to have changed: "...how do you know that this is not what I want?"

"I thought you didn't want to have a stomachache." Luo Lin still put the chili bottle aside.

Duan Fei actually smiled, but his expression looked a bit pitiful: "When will you stop caring about me?...For example, watching me die from illness."

Luo Lin picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of water, but did not answer the question.

Duan Fei kept looking into Luo Lin's eyes.

For a long time, Luo Lin sighed silently, lowered his head, and said to Duan Fei: "...I don't want to see you anymore. It's meaningless, Duan Fei. I know you've changed, you can live alone .You can live well without me..."

Duan Fei's eyebrows gradually furrowed.

"...Before, I did something wrong." Luo Lin said so, but smiled self-deprecatingly.

Duan Fei's breath became hurried.However, after maintaining a heavy expression for a while, he suddenly smiled indescribably: "No matter before or after, without you, I... I can't die. But in this world, there are people who really care about me You are the only one. If you were me, how would you let me let go, tell me..."

Luo Lin turned his head sideways: "Duan Fei, you've always been like this...but I..."

"Yes, I've always been selfish, and you know that. Ten years, and you know who I am."

"...Because I know, I don't want to get involved with you anymore... Not at all. Duan Fei, enough is enough..."

"Then, who said... said 'come on', making me think that he would wait for me, give me a chance, and grow into a better person? I thought it was a new beginning, but now you want to Tell me, did I never stand a chance from the start?"

Duan Fei's voice was mixed with deep despair and unconscious trembling.His unsteady breath killed all his efforts to stay calm.

As if thinking that this conclusion was absurd, Duan Feiwu laughed a few times to himself, and then continued in a hoarse voice: "I beg you, don't tell me, this is how you take revenge on me."

Luo Lin lowered his head, frowning tightly, and clenched his teeth.He didn't look at Duan Fei's face, and finally said in a low voice, "...I didn't want to take revenge on you. I just hope that you can become very good, so that the master and the deceased wife will feel at ease...I brought you For ten years, I always hope that you can..."

"...Don't talk to me in the tone of an elder and a servant!...For my parents...Do you miss me? Do you think that I have a new life and I have nothing to do with you?... Tell me, do you think so?"

Duan Fei clenched his fists tightly.He gritted his teeth.On the side of his thin cheek, one could see a line that became more and more distinct.

Luo Lin closed his eyes and spit out a word after a long time——

"……Correct."

Due to excitement, Duan Fei stood up and approached Luo Lin who was seated opposite him.But Luo Lin's words made all the unwillingness and anger he had accumulated empty out inexplicably.

It was a feeling of powerlessness, so Duan Fei could only fall back to his seat and let out a dry "ha".

...his eyes widened.The blank eyes that lost focus, combined with the unnatural curvature of his mouth, made Duan Fei's efforts to conceal his emotions look extremely ridiculous.

Luo Lin, who was sitting in front of Duan Fei, was trying to cover his face with a pale hand.From the expression that can be seen, it can be seen that he is not feeling well at all.

It was after a long time that Luo Lin said again in a trembling voice: "...I hope you can have a new start and forget about me. If possible, I hope I will never see you again."

"...Every time I see you, it reminds me of the past."

"Before you treated me badly, beat me, scolded me, looked down on me, I never, never hated me once."

"I regret it. I gave you the chance to treat me like this...I regret that I didn't even have my own life at that time."

"I regret that I loved you so much. In the end, I got nothing but insults... It's like a joke."

Luo Lin opened his eyes and smiled miserably.When he said these words, his voice was very small, and towards the end, his voice became full of breath, as if he was talking to himself.But the last sentence suddenly became a word: "So, I'm serious, I don't want to see you again."

... When Luo Lin was talking, Duan Fei was sitting on the seat, his face was stiff and heavy, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the blank space beside Luo Lin.His chest heaved silently, and the muscles on the side of his face tensed unnaturally.

Such an expression was finally severely shattered when Luo Lin uttered the last sentence.Duan Fei closed his eyes as if he was in unbearable pain, and raised his neck.

From between his clenched lips and teeth, a low, painful moan leaked out.

Luo Lin didn't want to see Duan Fei like this.He reached for the water glass, and took another sip of water, unsteadily.

Then, after a moment of unbearable silence, Luo Lin raised his hand with difficulty, turned around, and slowly picked up the jacket he took off by his side.

... Duan Fei opened a pair of red eyes at this moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Luo Lin, you are a coward."

Luo Lin picked up the scarf and lowered his head.

"...You don't want to see me because you don't want to see your past self. If you are really different from before, who can hurt you again?..."

Duan Fei went to shake Luo Lin's hand across the table.

Luo Lin couldn't escape the tough action.His lips trembled slightly - the body temperature touched by his wrist was too cold, but Luo Lin seemed to be burned by the flame in the hallucination.

"You said you didn't get anything from me except bad...then give me a chance and let me treat you well. Would you like your past to be like a joke, or would you like to change it ?”

Duan Fei stood up again.He forcefully grabbed Luo Lin's shoulder, but his expression was begging: "Give me one more chance...Luo Lin."

Luo Linqiang wanted to hide away, but Duan Fei desperately kissed him on the lips.Luo Lin's closed lips and teeth were finely ground, and at a moment when the resistance was relaxed, Duan Fei's tongue drove in.

And Luo Lin seemed to give up resistance, without any response, allowing his lips to be captured gently but forcefully.

...After the kiss was over, there were two clear traces of tears under Luo Lin's closed eyelids.

Duan Fei asked softly: "...why are you crying..."

Luo Lin opened his eyes slowly, without answering, but his eyes were completely blank.

……

Duan Fei finally sent Luo Lin back, but Luo Lin didn't speak all the way.

Standing in front of the model house, Luo Lin lowered his head and wanted to leave, but Duan Fei grabbed his sleeve——

"...wait a minute... I have a present for you."

Duan Fei said so, and stretched his hand to the inside of the windbreaker.From there, he pulls out a red, battered-looking rose.

"... I thought about what to say to you for a long time today, but I forgot to bring you a gift... It was dark at that time, and the only rose I could get was this one..."

Duan Fei directly handed the flowers in his hand to Luo Lin.Luo Lin didn't move for a long time, until Duan Fei felt his tightly clenched hands start to tremble, and then Luo Lin stretched out his hand to take the flower.

"...Because you were awake."

After Luo Lin said something so softly, he blinked his eyes expressionlessly.Then he turned and walked in the direction of the model house without saying goodbye or looking back.

... After a long time, Duan Fei suddenly realized that this sentence was an answer to his previous question.

——"Why are you crying?"

——"...Because you're awake."

It was the only kiss that wasn't insulting but loving in a waking, conscious time.

Unfortunately, by then, it was too late——

On a nice summer day later, Duan Fei sat on the hospital bed with a pale complexion, and said to the people around him: I never thought that when I die, there will still be pain here because of that person.

Pointing to his chest, he lowered his head and smiled.

And that day, among the people around him, there was no Luo Lin.

……

The camera quietly turned back to Luo Lin.

Now he has opened the door and is standing at the door of the house.The previous hustle and bustle in the house has dissipated.

The living room was a mess, and a few drunk people slept peacefully with their empty wine bottles on their pillows.

Luo Lin closed the door, walked over with light steps, picked up a few messy clothes from the ground, and put them on one by one...In the silence, Luo Lin heard Sir Pierre muttering vaguely Said: "...May...God...bless you..."

Luo Lin smiled, but it seemed that the smile was a little sad.

When he walked up the stairs on the second floor, he would not have thought that in his unlit bedroom, Rivers hadn't slept, but had been, always, waiting for him.
