On a rainy night, the two of them nestled on the sofa.There was no light in the room, only the TV screen was flickering on and off.

Lance held a cup of steaming tea and handed it to Qi Mo: "Try it, this is the Ceylon black tea I brought back from my trip in Sri Lanka."

Ceylon black tea is an international first-class black tea. It tastes mellow and fragrant in the mouth. Qi Mo licked his palate lightly, savoring the aftertaste left between his lips and teeth. He felt that the taste was as intoxicating as the gentleness of Lance.

Lance pressed the remote control, and an opera began to play on the TV: "This is my favorite tragedy - "Prometheus of the North Bound". Do you want to watch it with me, Xiao Hei?"

Qi Mo hooked his index finger and slowly stroked the handle that Lance had held: "Of course, the master is willing to share your world with me. I wish for it."

Lance smiled, turned his head, stroked his ponytail that fell to his shoulders, and began to explain to Qi Mo a tragedy about "Stealing Fire": in the era when the old gods and titans fell, the gods on Mount Olympus The gods began to rise, and among them, Zeus, the god of thunder, won the position of the supreme god, the heavenly father, with the help of human beings.However, instead of being grateful to humans, he sent disasters to destroy them.Prometheus was dissatisfied with Zeus's behavior and sympathized with human beings very much, so he secretly stole the fire from Olympus, hid the fire in a straw and gave it to human beings.Zeus was furious when he heard about it, first used Pandora's box to take revenge on mankind, and then pointed the blade of revenge at Prometheus.

At the beginning of the opera, the actor who plays Prometheus is bound to the Caucasus cliff by an iron chain that will never break.As the most severe punishment, he endured hunger, wind and sun, and could never fall asleep, and his tired knees could not bend, and a diamond nail was driven into his heaving chest.In addition, Zeus also sent a nasty vulture to peck his liver every day-in ancient Greece, the liver was considered to be the seat of human emotions.The liver is eaten during the day, but grows back at night.In this way, the pain that Prometheus endured will have no end.Despite all the hellish tortures, Prometheus never surrendered.He shouted to the unjust fate: "So, let the electric fire shoot at me fiercely, let the sky tremble under the roar of thunder and the furious storm, let the storm of the atmosphere shake the earth, let the sea Roaring and tumultuous, rolled high, to the stars, let that certain doom throw my body into the dim hell of Tartarus—yet he could not let me die!"

"Then what happened afterwards?" Before seeing the ending, Qi Mo couldn't help asking Lance, "Did he be rescued?"

Lance nodded: "Well, there was a famous Hercules, Hercules, who shot the condor to death with an arrow, smashed the iron chain with a stone, and Prometheus was rescued... Xiao Hei? What's wrong with you? What?" Lance watched in disbelief as Qi Mo suddenly came over and hugged him, and buried his head deep in his arms.

After waiting for a long time, Qi Mo didn't speak, but just hugged silently.Lance pressed the pause button on the remote control, listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, tick-tock, gurgling.

"Master..." Qi Mo finally spoke, "If Xiao Hei is bound to a mountain and tortured like Prometheus, will you break the shackles and rescue me?"

In the eyes of the world, this man who is 1.9 meters tall is an unreasonable lunatic, the darkest and most terrifying existence, but at this moment, he is curled up in Lance's arms, like an unsuspecting child.

"I don't know," Lance said, "I'm not a strong man, I don't have the power to break the shackles. But I am willing to be the sun on your head, and I will accompany you when you are tortured, and be with you, always Watching you until you don't need me."

—until your illness is cured and you no longer need me.Lance said in his heart.
