after being forced to become a heartthrob

"So, you chose Sylvie because you didn't like Norman?"

"uh-huh."

Wen Rao was a little stunned to hear such a willful answer.Is this guy...really reliable?He thought there would be more, such as a private discussion with Sylvie, such a possibility.

In the restaurant, Wen Rao and Sean sat and ate together.Silom came over silently, and sat down beside Wen Rao.

Sean greeted Hilo, Shilo nodded, as usual.

Wen Rao glanced at Shirlo, who suddenly met Shirlo's gaze, and he avoided his gaze unnaturally.Sean didn't notice any abnormality between the two, but he noticed Hilo's bandaged right hand, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"Ah. No, it's okay." Shilo curled his fingers, "I accidentally hurt it, that's all."

Sean had heard about Shilo's hobbies. He continued the conversation with Wen Rao just now. After Wen Rao came over from Shilo, he had been a little absent-minded.

The sound of the chair being dragged sounded, and the three people at the table looked up at the same time, and saw that Sylvie had also sat down.Although Sean was a little strange, he still greeted him.

Wen Rao put down the knife and fork he was not used to, and stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Wen Rao hid in the bathroom for about 10 minutes. When he went back, he saw three people who had finished their meal and were still sitting around the table.And on the dinner plate in front of him, there was a lot of food that was not there just now.After he sat down, Sean said, "Wen, you and Shilo go outside for a walk in the afternoon, and by the way, familiarize yourself with what the management should do."

Wen Rao, who just bit the bullet and picked up the knife and fork, suddenly froze, "Afternoon?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"I'm... a little uncomfortable." Wen Rao really doesn't want to stay with Shilo now.

"Uncomfortable?" Sean looked at him worriedly.

Wen Rao found an excuse casually, left the restaurant and went back to the room.

Shilo and Sylvie were very busy in the afternoon, including Sean, Wen Rao had long been used to it. He hid in his room and read Sylvie's bedtime readings.Suddenly, he heard the sound of the doorknob turning, turned around, and saw that it was Sean who should be busy in the office right now, "Why are you here?"

"Shh-"

"There's no one in the room." Wen Rao put down his crossed legs.

Sean walked up to him and handed him a box of chocolates.Wen Rao has long been used to it, reached out to take it, unpacked it, took one and threw it in his mouth, "Shouldn't you be working seriously now?"

"Occasionally, I still need to take a break." Sean sat down on the sofa opposite Wen Rao.

Wen Rao's whole body was almost sunk in the sofa, with a book spread out on his legs that were together.Sean saw him drooping his head leisurely, tilting his head while reading a book, and stuffing chocolate into his mouth. His mouth was a little dry, so he leaned over, "I want to eat too."

Wen Rao stuffed one into his mouth, and Sean retracted contentedly. While chewing, he asked Wen Rao, "Lately, you haven't been very happy."

Wen Rao flatly denied, "No."

"Really?" Sean asked again, "I'm already thinking, if you're really unhappy in Florida, you might as well just buy a boat ticket for you and leave here."

Wen Rao raised his head all of a sudden.

"Looks like it's unnecessary." Sean took out a piece of paper from his breast pocket.

Wen Rao thought it was a boat ticket, sat up on his knees, leaned forward, and grabbed it from Xiao En.Sean deliberately raised his hand high, and when Wen Rao managed to get the piece of paper down, he held it in front of him and saw that it was just an ordinary document folded.The anger of being teased made Wen Rao stare fiercely at Xiao En, "Where's the boat ticket?"

Sean blinked, "No."

"Then give me the money!"

"nor."

Wen Rao straightened his upper body, "It's clearly in the safe!"

"I forgot the password." Sean told a very clumsy lie.

Wen Rao gritted his teeth, and when he was in a panic, Sean stood up from the sofa, took advantage of his height, and ruthlessly rubbed Wen Rao's hair, "Stay here, I can I don't want to play tricks with you to limit your freedom."

Wen Rao shook his head, trying to shake off Xiao En's big hand on his head.Unexpectedly, Xiao En rubbed his hair even more vigorously, rubbing his neatly combed hair like a chicken coop.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Of course not. I'm just reminding you that if you want to sneak away, I will lock you in the room after I catch you." On Xiao En's face, there was a vile smile familiar to Wen Rao again.

The only good thing about this guy is that he did what he said.

"Okay, it's time for me to work." Sean withdrew his hand from Wen Rao's head, "Have a good rest, and when Norman comes back, I'll have time to go shopping with you outside."

Wen Rao watched Xiao En go out, chewing the chocolate he just sent in his mouth angrily.

……

Sylvie's healing ability was astonishing, within half a month, he was already able to walk normally.But the headache for Wen Rao is that Sylvie, probably, perhaps, really regards him as a 'wife'?

From the good morning kiss, the good night kiss that stopped after being rejected at the beginning, until now...

"Well—" After the lights went out, the kiss was pressed against his lips.

In the darkness, Sylvie's five fingers ran through his hair, stroking his neck.Just when Wen Rao felt the pain in his neck, Sylvie finally ended the kiss, "Good night."

Wen Rao silently pinched the corner of his back, and then got in.

Kissing on the cheek is enough, why have you been forced to kiss recently?

Although he and Sylvie used to sleep on the same bed, there seemed to be an invisible line between the two of them, and no one would ever cross it, but now—— Sylvie's arm passed through the quilt and wrapped around his. With a light hook on the waist, Wen Rao fell into his embrace.Sylvie's behavior was very natural, and she didn't do anything except hug him.

"temperature."

Wen Rao reacted for a long time before realizing that Sylvie was calling his name.

Sylvie was taller than him, and Wen Rao was curled up under the quilt. After Sylvie hugged him from behind, her chin directly touched the top of Wen Rao's head.Steady breathing came from above, Wen Rao struggled slightly, Sylvie just let him go, Wen Rao moved a little to the edge of the bed, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, an arm stopped him again , wrapped his arms around his waist, and dragged him back.

"Sylvie..."

"Huh?" Sylvie's voice was a little lazy, as if she was about to fall asleep.

"Can you..." said softly, "Can you let me go."

"Ah."

Sylvie still didn't let go of his hand, and his steady and long breathing showed that he had fallen asleep.

……

Wen Rao got two pieces of news from Sean, one was that Norman was finally coming back, and the other was that something happened to Shiloh recently.

Norman didn't talk about it, Sean couldn't find out the origin of those who kidnapped him and Sylvie at all, so he could only turn to Norman, who was more proficient in handling such matters.But the place where Norman was on vacation is a bit far away, and there are about two or three days before he comes back, so what Sean is more concerned about is Shiloh, "He doesn't seem to be energetic recently, although he was not energetic before, but now he looks like something It doesn't matter anymore."

Wen Rao listened silently. Unexpectedly, the topic of Sean suddenly turned to him again, "By the way, Wen, what happened between you and Shilo recently?"

"what?"

"See how you suddenly become very indifferent to him." If Sean is not mistaken, Wen Rao has been avoiding Shirlo recently, and even when Shirlo took the initiative to greet him, Wen Rao would just find someone Make excuses and turn away.Very strange indeed.

"No?" Wen Rao said.

Sean also felt that maybe he was thinking too much. After all, Shiloh had always been a loner, and even Sylvie didn't seem to be very close to him.

After a few short gossips, Sean, who had to take on several roles until Norman came back, went back to the office and struggled with the documents.Sylvie was in the room, Wen Rao didn't want to go back, so she just sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.Everyone around was busy, and he was the only one with nothing to do.

Looking at Wen Ruo above his head with his arm resting on his pillow, he suddenly felt a dark shadow appear in front of him. He raised his head and saw that it was Shi Luo who had come back from outside.

As Sean said, Shilo's condition doesn't look very good.His lips used to be colorless, but now they are even paler, and his whole person is like a piece of paper.

He saw Wen Rao sitting in the living room. He wanted to come up to say hello, but he didn't know what he thought of. He lowered his eyes and went upstairs silently.Probably because he deliberately pretended not to see it too many times?Gentle thought.But when something like that happened, he didn't know how to get along with Shilo at all.

Shi Luo, who was going upstairs, suddenly staggered, his whole body suddenly leaned forward, and fell on the stairs.

Wen Rao moved his fingers a bit, but he still sat on the sofa and watched Shilo stand up while leaning on the railing, and then walked up the stairs awkwardly.

Why did it become like this?Are you injured?

The next day, Wen Rao came to sit in the lobby on the first floor again. When he saw Shiloh who came down from upstairs, he walked out. He hesitated for a moment and chose to follow.

Shi Luo went to the underground boxing ring, Wen Rao stood outside and hesitated for a while, then opened the curtain and walked in.By the way, he seldom sees Shilo recently, has he come here all the time?

Because they came earlier this time than last time, and the fight above had just ended, and the arena below was full of hot-blooded militants.With gentle eyes, he looked around for a while, but he didn't see Hilo who came in first. Strange, where did he go?

Those around the arena suddenly cheered, because they couldn't find Shiloh, so they casually glanced gently and saw Shiloo on the ring.

Unlike the shirtless boxer beside him, Hilo was also wearing a shirt.The cuffs were rolled up to the elbows, exposing his slender arms that seemed to be easily broken.Gentleness was his way to control the enemy with one move, so he didn't think Shiloh would be as harmless as he appeared on the surface.

But Shiloh's appearance is too deceptive. The man standing opposite him is already twisting his neck and preparing for the opening.

"Wesson—"

"Wesson—"

Wen Rao, who was standing still, was suddenly bumped by someone next to him. The person who bumped him turned his head, and when he saw Wen Rao, who was a little short in stature, he showed a contemptuous smile.

Wen Rao has no time to argue with him now, his eyes are all attracted by Shiloh on the stage.

The warm-up man pounced on him, Wen Rao thought that Shirlo would easily dodge, but today's Shirlo was as clumsy as the Shirlo he saw yesterday when he fell down the stairs.He stood there, as if he couldn't dodge the windy fist on the other side, and was punched hard in the abdomen.

The cheers grew louder.

The boxer named Weison hit Hilo on the back with his backhand even harder.Shilo staggered, then fell to his knees.

There were several bandages around his wrists, which made him look more and more slender.

"Shirlo——" Wen Rao called Shirlo's name, but his voice was completely drowned out by the shouts of these militants.

Another punch hit Hillo's back. Even if Wen Rao knew that Hillo was the kind of person who could get twisted pleasure from pain, he couldn't completely ignore Hillo's confusion at this moment. , and some painful expressions.

"Shilo—" Because he ran under the stage, his voice finally made Shilo react a little.Shilo raised his head and looked under the table for a week. There were some inexplicable and expectant eyes, but after he didn't see Wen Rao, his expectations were in vain.

Pressing the back of his hand on the ground, he was trampled hard by his foot.Shilo frowned and wanted to pull his hand back, but he was kicked in the middle by the boxer again.

Wen Rao slid directly under the rope and climbed onto the platform.

Shilo, who was half kneeling on the ground, looked at him in disbelief.The boxer who was stepping on Hillo's palm was also stunned by the person who jumped onto the stage suddenly.

Wen Rao rushed forward and helped Shilo up.Hillo's palms were already purple from being trampled on, and the unhealed tooth marks on his wrists were also exposed.

"Are you letting someone hit you again?"

Hilo nodded, then shook his head again.

Wen Rao put his arm on his shoulders, and helped him up from the ground, "Although I know——you have this habit, but I can't watch you being beaten to death here."

"Wen..." Shi Luo was a little unsteady, his body was almost leaning against Wen Rao.

"Go back and bandage the wound." Wen Rao was afraid that he would fall, so he put his arms around Shilo's waist.

Shilo nodded in a daze, "Okay."

The boxer named Wei Sen stopped Wen Rao, and Wen Rao said, "Don't pay attention to him."

Shilo shook his head, "If you don't finish the fight, you won't be able to leave." Then, he stood firmer, "Wen, wait for me."

"Is it possible?" Looking at him like this, Wen Rao didn't seem to be able to fight at all.

Shilo showed a shallow smile, "Yes."

Wen Rao listened to his words and let him go. Shilo turned around, and when Wei Sen, who was taller than him, rushed over, he easily grabbed his arm, and then kicked his arm before he struggled. chest.Wen Rao heard the sound of bones breaking, and he guessed that the boxer named Wei Sen had at least two broken ribs.

After finishing off the opponent Shilo, he turned around.

Wen Rao hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand, held his palm, and led him out of the bloody underground boxing arena.Wen Rao took him to the nearest clinic first, and treated some of the wounds on his body.There were countless wounds on Hillo's body, some of which seemed to be cut by sharp weapons, and some were purely created by brute force.Wen Rao stood aside, watching the doctor apply medicine to Shiloh and wrap up the bandage.

On the way back, Shi Luo, who was sitting in the car, kept looking at Wen Rao.

Wen Rao noticed it and turned to look at him.His face was a bit serious, Shilo was in front of him, just like a child who made a mistake and was waiting to be admonished.

"Although I know, maybe I'm meddling in my own business today." Wen Rao sighed heavily, "But I still want you to restrain yourself a bit. It's not a good thing to be insensitive. If something really happens..."

Hillo's fingers quietly reached out, tentatively, covering the back of the gentle hand.

Gentle fingers curled up, and Shiloh retracted his hand like lightning.

With this appearance, even if he did something bad, it is completely impossible for people to reprimand him, okay?

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Hilo's voice was weak, "I shouldn't have troubled Wen."

"It's not trouble or no trouble." In that place, he might be beaten to death.

"I... don't know what to do." Hillo's eyelashes drooped, his eyes flickering constantly, "I, just... feel a little uncomfortable. I think, if it hurts, it shouldn't be so, It's hard."

Wen Rao asked, "Why are you uncomfortable?"

"Wen, ignore me."

because of him? ? ?

There is a mole in the corner of Shilo's eye. Usually when he opened his eyes, Wen Rao couldn't see it, but now that he lowered his eyes, the mole appeared, "I thought it would be the same as before. But... ...Now, there is only pain."

Wen Rao glanced at the thick bandages on his body, "Of course you will be hurt if you are beaten."

Shilo shook his head, "No, it's not." The voice became smaller and smaller, as if dreaming, "In addition to pain, there will be a feeling of being alive."

Wen Rao was speechless for a while.

"it's gone now."

Wen Rao couldn't bear his passive and lonely look. He grabbed Hilo's hand and bit the back of his hand hard. Only this time, only a row of deep teeth marks were left. He watched Shilo, who frowned belatedly, asked, "Does it hurt?"

Hillo nodded.

"Besides the pain?"

"Very, comfortable." A faint blush appeared on Hilo's face.

Wen Rao, "...No, I mean alive, do you have that feeling?"

"Yes, yes." Hilo's lips trembled.

"That's fine." Facing Hillo, he couldn't get angry at all.

Shi Luo's trembling fingertips came out again quietly, touched Wen Rao's fingers, and then retracted again, Wen Rao sighed, and grabbed his hand.
