mark pain

In the bright elevator, Liang Heng's facial features were clearly outlined, and he looked at Zeng Yu with deep meaning and questioning eyes.

Zeng Yu's eyes moved down, and when she saw the envelope in his hand, she tightened her hand holding the cake.

Trying to calm down, Zeng Yu entered the elevator, pressed two floors and stood side by side with Liang Heng.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zeng Yu spoke first.

When Zeng Yu came in, Liang Heng had already withdrawn from his memories, but his emotions were still deeply affected.

With a strong sense of presence of the postcard and envelope in his hand, Liang Heng couldn't stop thinking about a sentence, "He also approached you in this way at the beginning, but how did he leave, have you forgotten?"

Liang Heng only replied "En" in a low voice and didn't speak any more.

It could be felt that Liang Heng was in a low mood, and his attitude towards him was like returning to the time when they just met again, showing alienation.

Zeng Yu speculated that it might be because he suddenly received a postcard that reminded him of the past.

No matter how beautiful and sweet the process is, such an ending should cast a shadow over the brightly blooming flowers.

Zeng Yu knew that she still needed to do more, she didn't want to turn over that page, but she wanted to replace the impact it brought with a more promising present and future.

The elevator soon reached the 20th floor. Zeng Yu handed the cake to Liang Heng, "I bought it by the way, take it home and try it."

"Flowers, desserts, are you treating me like a girl?" Liang Heng didn't take the cake, not sure if he was laughing at himself: "Still studying me?"

Liang Heng also remembered the cake he made clumsily.

"Not as handsome and tall as you."

Zeng Yu pulled Liang Heng's hand to hold the cake, "You saw through it so quickly. I also went to that shop to learn, but I didn't do as well as you, so don't be disgusted."

"I wanted to follow up to eat with you, and we could stay together for a while longer." Zeng Yu paused for a while, and continued: "But I didn't expect the love letter to be in your hands so soon, so I'm still a little embarrassed. "

"So, see you tomorrow. Good night." After speaking, Zeng Yu stepped out of the elevator.

Liang Heng frowned, his eyes dimmed, "Let's eat together."

Zeng Yu's left hand, which had been hanging by her side and clutching the hem of her clothes, suddenly relaxed.

Zeng Yu really wanted to be with Liang Heng when he was in a bad mood, just like the gentle Liang Heng last night.

But he was also the one who caused Liang Heng's depression. He felt ashamed to think that if he followed up now, he would definitely be able to help him out of his emotions as he did when the roles were reversed last night, instead of making things worse.

In this state, whether Liang Heng would like to see him, and whether he could accept being in the same room with him, Zeng Yu was actually not sure.

In the process of getting close to Liang Heng again, Zeng Yu must grasp the appropriate distance, not selfishly let her cross the line because of the closeness before, and not backfire and make Liang Heng feel uncomfortable.

So Zeng Yu clumsily probed with so little expectation.

Fortunately, although Liang Heng saw through it, he also gave the answer Zeng Yu hoped for.

Zeng Yu silently pressed the door close button of the elevator.

The intimacy last night was a special situation, and Zeng Yu would not rely on the tenderness Liang Heng gave him when he was soft-hearted, and feel that her little effort now has paid off.

But this time it was Liang Heng who asked him to enter the house, so Zeng Yu allowed the progress bar in her heart to move forward a little bit slowly.

Liang Heng changed his shoes and went in to put down the things in his hands, then went back to the shoe cabinet in the entrance and took a pair of slippers and put them in front of Zeng Yu.

"Li Xing and the others wore it when they came, so let's just make do with it."

Liang Heng went back to the living room and put the things he bought from the supermarket in the corresponding places one by one. When he came out of the kitchen, Zeng Yu had already unwrapped the cake and placed the plates.

"You cut it, I can't do it well." Zeng Yu turned her head and said to him with a smile.

The slippers, which were of a clear size and fit well, made the progress bar in Zeng Yu's heart quietly move a little bit.

Liang Heng walked over, cut two pieces of cake without saying a word, picked up his share and said, "It's prettier than the one I made."

"It doesn't necessarily taste good." Zeng Yu got the vaccination in advance, "I made it in a hurry, and I rushed back before I had time to taste it."

Liang Heng didn't speak any more, quietly finished eating the cake in his hand, then opened the envelope and read it.

Zeng Yu sat obediently at the dining table, lowered her head and continued to eat the cake in small bites, her eyes slipping towards Liang Heng from time to time.

In the letter, Zeng Yu first explained how he got Liang Heng's address back then.

Before he knew about the affair between his parents, Liang Heng was still a boy with a sunny personality and a little bit of literature and art. He accidentally participated in a PostCrossing joint group event in S City.

After exchanging postcards with many strangers in many cities, Liang Heng's interest faded away.But every time he goes to a place, he will still send himself a local postcard, and use the postmark to record the time and place he walked.

On the day he left the town, Liang Heng also wrote a postcard to himself, put the stamp on it and put it in the mailbox outside the only post office in the town.

Zeng Yu said in the letter that she went to pry the mailbox that night, found the postcard, wrote down the address and phone number written on it, and put it back.

But in the name of Jiang Tang, when she pretended to be Lin Chu and wrote the first postcard to Liang Heng, Zeng Yu lied to him that she had bribed the postman.

Zeng Yu also mentioned her life growing up in a small town.

From a young age, Zeng Yu knew that she was not the biological child of the family, but a substitute.He had a sister whom he had never met, who was three years older than him, but who died before he reached that home.

The beloved great mother couldn't bear the blow, so she forced her husband to find a child whose birthday was the anniversary of her daughter's death.Everyone in the town knew that Zeng Yu's adoptive father had bought him back when he was three years old from a trafficker.

The traffickers didn't know Zeng Yu's birthday, but before entering Zeng's house, his birthday was set as the anniversary of the little girl's death.The little girl's name was Zeng Jie, so he was named Zeng Yu.

Jieyu is a word that the uneducated great mother learned while watching court dramas during her pregnancy.This is the rank title of a concubine in the palace. She feels that this word represents wealth and beauty, so it carries her beautiful expectations for her daughter.

But she never thought about whether this name was suitable for a boy.

The new child didn't help Zeng Mu get out of the shock of losing her daughter. Watching this other's child grow up healthy and big, she became more and more paranoid and painful.

She beat and scolded Zeng Yu for a while, then hugged him and kept apologizing, and kissed him on the cheek gently and helplessly.

Later, she committed suicide and left the ten-year-old Zeng Yu to her great-father who had started drinking and gambling because of his wife's madness.

Zeng's father believed that Zeng Yu's existence drove his wife to death, so in addition to not allowing him to go to school and letting him look after the shop to support the family, he would often beat and kick him when he was drunk.

Zeng Yu has grown up like this.

After reading the letter, Liang Heng looked up at Zeng Yu. Before he could say anything, Zeng Yu spoke first.

"I just think you should learn about my past, so that you can fully understand who I am. But these are in the past, you don't have to feel sorry for me."

Liang Heng paused, "I just want to say, you are great."

You who grew up without being loved by your family still retain your stubbornness and kindness, and you can become outstanding and dazzling, which is really great.No matter how many layers of camouflage there are, Zeng Yu's excellence in college is true.

Liang Heng knew that Zeng Yu had hidden some things besides the words in the letter, such as his foot injury, such as why he had a stress reaction to blood.

But he didn't need Zeng Yu to tear open all his scars to show him, he only hoped that Zeng Yu could really feel that those were all in the past.

So apart from the reason for breaking up in the first place, Zeng Yu would listen to as much as he wanted to say about the past.

Zeng Yu shook her head, her voice was a little low: "I, I suck."

"Do you know what I did before returning to country M with my brother?" Zeng Yu squeezed the fork tightly in her hand, poking the cake on the plate again and again, "It's better to say this personally."

"That man drank, gambled, and messed with men and women."

After making up her mind, she didn't feel that there was nothing left to say, so Zeng Yu raised her head and looked at Liang Heng.

"I knew he was messing around with an Omega that the owner of an auto repair shop kept outside, so I followed him. When he went upstairs, I went to the owner's shop and left a note."

"The boss brought people there. I hid outside the alley and saw them beat him half to death, chopped off two of his fingers, and cut his place." Recalling that scene, Zeng Yu's voice was cold.

"I was taken away by Lin Chu the next day. Later, I heard that he was rescued and he is still running the canteen."

Liang Heng asked: "Are you afraid?"

"not afraid."

"Do you regret it?"

Zeng Yu paused, chuckled, and lowered her head again, "If Lin Chu hadn't found me, and he hadn't been injured that day, he would have sold me to that boss as an early adopter and paid off the gambling debt. Omega bought a ring."

Liang Heng clenched his hands casually on the table into fists.If there is another Alpha on the scene, it will also be found that the suppression pheromone that he can use as a powerful attack and confrontation of the same kind is also rarely out of control for a moment.

"I'm a person who will report everything, but I won't wait until everything happens. I only regret that I called 120 back then and didn't let him die like that."

"Liang Heng, I'm really a bad person." Zeng Yu said.

Liang Heng looked straight into Zeng Yu's eyes, suppressing the tyrannical thoughts in his heart against that man: "So?"

"So I have done a lot of bad things. No matter how gentle and harmless I pretend to be on the surface, it is fake. I feel that I will never be soft when I need it. I just guard the bottom line of not letting human life get on my hands. .Directly or indirectly, I have actually stabbed people."

This kind of me is the real me, would you still let me be close to you?

Understanding Zeng Yu's implication, Liang Heng quickly calmed down the anger in his heart, and asked calmly, "Have you ever done anything to innocent people?"

Zeng Yu shook her head.

"In the future, when you feel that you need to do something, let me know first." Liang Heng took a cup of hot water, put it in front of Zeng Yu, and gave his own answer.

The mark is still there, so I'm still your Alpha.If this happens again in the future, you don't have to take the risk yourself.I will not allow myself to let my Omega get into this situation again.

Zeng Yu's eyes sank, and she drank water from a glass, but she was noncommittal and did not respond to Liang Heng's words.

How could he let Liang Heng get in touch with those dark sides?Those who come from the dark know best how to fight against it.

The sun only needs to shine on bright places, and it is not necessary to divert precious eyes to dark corners.

"Zeng Yu, if you really want us to start over, at least let me rest assured."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Liang Heng said seriously: "If you can't promise me this matter, or if you promise but fail to do it, this is the last time you will enter my house."

Liang Heng knew that he was forcing him.But he needed Zeng Yu's consent, and he couldn't allow Zeng Yu to take any more risks.

Zeng Yu was silent for a long time before she let out a "huh".

Soon, he said again: "Then can I see you every day from now on?"

"Conditions?"

"Rewards." Zeng Yu suddenly laughed, with a gleam in his eyes: "Yesterday you said that honest and good children will be rewarded."

"So I think there should be obedient and good children."

Liang Heng was stunned for a moment, and realized that Zeng Yu saw that something was wrong with him, and wanted to pull him out of the negative impact of the things just mentioned.

They still have a tacit understanding and understand each other.

"Okay, good boy." Liang Heng tried his best to relax himself, "This reward won't expire until you make a mistake."

"If you don't make mistakes during that period of time, can the reward be doubled?"

"No."

"Okay." Zeng Yu deliberately pretended to be very disappointed, and said dejectedly.

But he took a sneak peek, and found that Liang Heng's face was not as gloomy and ugly as when he heard what the man did just now, it was much softer, so he was relieved.

"Then I still want to eat a piece of cake, you cut it for me." Zeng Yu pushed the cake towards Liang Heng, "You also have another piece."

"Okay." Liang Heng picked up the cake knife and teased, "You have used up all the sugar in the cake shop."

Zeng Yu had to admit that she did put too much sugar.Neither of them seem to have a talent for making cakes.Because there were too many fruit pieces in Liang Heng's cake back then, it almost didn't shape when cut open.

The two ate cakes and drank water to relieve their tiredness, and looked at each other and laughed from time to time while eating.

Every night seemed to get better.
