On how abusive essays become sweet essays

There are doors facing each other in the cloister, the light is dim, the sensor light on the ceiling is not very sensitive, sometimes it lights up and sometimes it doesn’t light up, two people stand in front of each other in the corridor, Xiao Xu takes out a bunch of keys from his pocket, inserts them Get in the keyhole and twist the door.

There is only one living room and one bedroom inside. The living room is not too spacious, and it looks crowded with furniture, but it is cleaned very cleanly. There is a cup on the coffee table, and everything is organized in an orderly manner.

"Sit down wherever you want." Xiao Xu greeted.

He took the kettle, went to fetch the water, plugged in the electricity, and when he turned around, he saw Ling Yi standing behind him, looking at him without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Ling Yi asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Xiao Xu ate something tonight, but now he has almost digested it.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked Ling Yi.

Ling Yi paused and said, "It's all fine."

He drank and didn't eat anything at the banquet, but he wasn't really hungry, but his stomach felt a little uncomfortable. Ling Yi turned around and sat on the sofa, nestled in the sofa, and took out his mobile phone to watch videos.

Xiao Xu turned around and went to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator, took two eggs, turned around and asked Ling Yi, "Can I eat noodles?"

Ling Yi: "I'm not very hungry."

"Okay, I'll get you some less." Xiao Xu said.

He can't eat and let Ling Yi watch from the side.

While he was cooking the noodles, the previously boiled water boiled. Xiao Xu took a clean water cup, poured a cup of water, put the cup in a basin filled with cold water, and worked on both sides. When the temperature of the water dropped, he opened it and placed it From the cabinet under the kitchen, I took out a bottle of honey, soaked some honey water, and gave it to Ling Yi.

"Sweet, just leave it if you don't want to drink it."

Ling Yi looked up from the phone, with sleepy eyes in his eyes, and when he realized, Xiao Xu had already turned around and went to the kitchen again.

He picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. The temperature was moderate and it wasn't too sweet. He drank the honey water one gulp at a time.

Not long after, Xiao Xu put the face on the table in the living room. The living room and the kitchen are basically connected, just two steps away.

Both bowls were covered with fried eggs. Ling Yi moved to the table and poked the fried golden eggs with chopsticks, "I can't tell, you can cook."

"I can only cook noodles a little bit." Xiao Xu said, he took another pair of chopsticks and lowered his head to eat the noodles.

Ling Yi glanced at him, and also lowered his head and took a bite of the noodles. Although he said he didn't really want to eat it, he took a few bites and thought it was not bad, so he ate some more. Xiao Xu didn't make much noodles for him. It took a few mouthfuls of bowls to see the bottom.

He came up to sit, and he really sat, watching Xiao Xu eating noodles aimlessly, and even rubbed a bowl of noodles. He leaned on the back of the stool, and felt that his state was a bit strange, but he couldn't explain it. Where is it strange.

The nanny who took care of him in the past would also make him a glass of honey water after he drank. Xiao Xu's glass of honey water inexplicably reminded him of that nanny. Home is done.

"See what I'm doing?" Xiao Xu suddenly said, "Aren't you full?"

Ling Yi originally had his eyes empty, but when he pointed it out so loudly, he ignored the second half of his sentence and said, "Who looked at you!?"

Xiao Xu had already finished eating, so he threw the paper towel that he had wiped his mouth into the trash can. Hearing Ling Yi's rhetorical question, he put one hand on the table, resting his chin, and smiled softly, with a quiet tone. With a perverted and provocative tone in the night, he said softly, "Why are you nervous?"

He didn't do anything or move, but Ling Yi had the illusion of being molested, his eyes were fierce: "You are just a little bodyguard by my side, do your job well."

I don't know who this sentence is reminding.

"Understood, big boss." When Xiao Xu spoke, both his tone and expression were cynical, and in the ears of others, those words were more like flirting.

This bystander specifically refers to Ling Yi.

"I'm going back." He stood up abruptly.

Xiao Xu followed suit: "I'll see you off."

Ling Yi: "No need."

"What if something happens to you later?" Xiao Xu said, "As your bodyguard, I will be responsible."

Ling Yi gritted his teeth and didn't refuse any more. He went out with Xiao Xu and went downstairs. The corridor lights were on. The two walked one after the other. Ling Yi moved forward with a dull head. The sound of their footsteps overlapped, and Xiao Xu was always lagging behind. He took a step, but he was unhurried. This hunter-like posture annoyed Ling Yi.

He walked faster, and Xiao Xu also quickened his pace.

For some reason, Ling Yi just wanted to get rid of him, including the strange feeling in his heart.

His feet were getting faster and faster, almost walking vigorously, Xiao Xu followed him, seeing him walking so fast, he opened his mouth to stop him: "Ling..."

Ling Yi stepped on the edge of the stairs, slipped his foot, stepped on the air suddenly, and rushed forward, his heart was also hanging in the air. One hand grabbed his arm and was pulled down by him due to inertia. An adult A man's weight should not be underestimated.

Xiao Xu strode down the stairs, landed on the corner of the stairs, turned around to block Ling Yi, hit the wall with her elbow, and Ling Yi threw herself on his chest.

puff puff...

Unable to tell whose heartbeat it was, Ling Yi let out his held breath, gasping for air, the sudden sense of weightlessness just now hadn't dissipated.

He put a gentle palm on the back of his neck, squeezed it twice, and Xiao Xu's voice came from above: "Are you all right?"

Ling Yi has something to do, it's a big deal.

He only felt a tingling in his scalp, like an electric shock, spreading from the back of his neck to all parts of his body. At this moment, all senses became extremely sharp.

She didn't get rid of Xiao Xu who was behind her, and even threw herself into her arms.

Ling Yi grabbed his arm, trying to use his strength to stand up, but what he grabbed happened to be Xiao Xu's hand that hit the wall, Xiao Xu gasped, and Ling Yi let go of his hand suddenly.

The corridor was quiet for a moment, the voice-activated lights dimmed, and the surroundings fell into darkness, covering up all emotions, Ling Yi's heart was in a mess, and he seemed to have lingering fears.

"Are you... are you okay?" His tone was a little awkward.

Following his voice, the corridor lights turned on again.

"What can I do." Xiao Xu laughed, "Boss, let's go, be careful."

The more he behaved okay, the more Ling Yi felt that something was wrong with him. Recalling the sound of his body colliding with the wall, he frowned and asked, "Did you hit your hand?"

"Do you care about me?" Xiao Xu asked back.

Ling Yi: "..."

Ling Yi stabilized his body, turned around and walked downstairs. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Xu moving his arms and then putting them down again. His lips pursed.

It wasn't until Xiao Xu watched him get into the car that the two parted.

The car started in the dark night, and street lights passed by outside the window. Ling Yi looked at the window, and there was his reflection on it. He pursed his lips tightly and frowned, with an expression of impatience. He stared at it for a while, feeling relieved. Spreading his brows, he still looked like he was in a bad mood, and he frowned again.

A little drunk was dispelled by the night wind, her heart seemed to be soaked in a soda can, and she jumped up without stopping.

Too noisy.

-

"This is my itinerary for the next week." Ling Yi gave Xiao Xu a printed form. Today he just negotiated a big project, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Xiao Xu took the form and glanced at it.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Ling Yi asked casually.

Xiao Xu touched his elbow, looked up at the man behind the desk, the man's eyes were half closed, he didn't seem to care, he just asked casually, Xiao Xu pursed his lips and said, "It's all right."

There was only a little bruise on his arm, which wasn't too painful for him.

"Yeah." Ling Yi transferred a sum of money into Xiao Xu's account yesterday, saying that it was overtime pay, and Xiao Xu had already collected a lot of money before a month had arrived.

The mobile phone in his pocket rang at this moment, Ling Yi looked at him, Xiao Xu took out the mobile phone, it was a call from the hospital, his heart skipped a beat suddenly.

"I'll take a call." He raised his phone to Ling Yi.

Ling Yi nodded.

But when Xiao Xu answered the call and heard what the other person said clearly, his expression changed slightly, he said a few words in a low voice, and then hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Ling Yi asked.

Xiao Xu: "My mother fell in the hospital—Mr. Ling, I want to take half a day off to go to the hospital."

Ling Yi: "I'll ask the driver to take you."

He also knew something about Xiao Xu's mother being hospitalized. The reason why Xiao Xu needed money was to pay off the debt left by his father, which was for his mother.

Xiao Xu said, "No need."

Having said that, it was not easy to wait for the bus at this time, so Ling Yi asked the driver to take him to the hospital.

The hospital is filled with the smell of disinfectant, and the smooth tiles can reflect people's shadows. In the long corridor outside the ward, there is a person sitting on a bench. He is leaning on the back of the bench and holding a mobile phone in one hand.

"Mr. Ling, I want to ask for leave today." Xiao Xu said to the other end of the phone.

Ling Yi was sitting in the office, with a pen in his hand. He shouldn't have asked too much, but he couldn't help asking: "How is your mother?"

"It's all right." Xiao Xu paused, and then said, "A man knocked my mother down the stairs in the hospital, but he only smelled of alcohol, and it was not found that he had been drinking."

There was a moment of silence at the other end, Xiao Xu's words were definitely not in vain, Ling Yi asked: "Do you think there is a problem?"

Xiao Xu laughed again: "Maybe I was overthinking it, it's okay, Mr. Ling, you should do your work first."

After hanging up the phone, all the smiles on Xiao Xu's face disappeared. Who could he be enemies with?Undoubtedly, he thought of Song Shizhi who came to him some time ago.

But this matter really needs to be investigated, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get a result. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with his mother, but his ankle is sprained and his hand is torn. Song Shizhi only came to him some time ago. This time, it was an accident.

Is it a warning, or is it really just that he is thinking too much?

Xiao Xu rarely pays attention to other things and people.

He pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. The woman inside was sitting on the hospital bed with gauze on her hands. Seeing that he hadn't left yet, she said, "Oh, I'm fine. You should go to work first. How much delay is there?" good."

"Don't delay, my boss is nice." Xiao Xu took an apple and peeled it with a knife.

He didn't stay in the hospital for too long, and left the hospital after two o'clock in the afternoon. Regarding the man who smelled of alcohol, he went to the police station to meet him. The hospital sees people, and there are indeed some acquaintances of him among the patients in the hospital.

The next day, Xiao Xu came back to Ling Yi again, Ling Yi asked about his mother's situation, and after getting the answer of "nothing", he didn't say anything more.

Regarding yesterday's incident, Ling Yi found something. This incident was related to Song Shizhi. He didn't tell Xiao Xu, but only planned to solve it by himself. In the final analysis, Xiao Xu was implicated because of him.

A few days later, at night, the underground parking lot was lit, and Ling Yi was standing behind the car not far away, holding a cigarette in his hand, unlit, rubbing it on his fingertips, and talking on the phone with the other hand .

"Ling Yi, what do you mean by grabbing that project with me?" Song Shizhi's voice was on the other end, "Can you afford Cheng's business? Why force it?"

Ling Yi: "Who can talk, depends on ability, whether I can do it, don't worry about it."

"Are you still angry about what happened last time? I was wrong last time. I shouldn't be angry with you. I drank too much..."

"It's nothing to hang up." Ling Yi said.

Xiao Xu stood by the pillar behind him, the underground parking garage was very quiet, Xiao Xu could hear what he said clearly, but he couldn't make out a few words, it was probably a business transaction.

At this time, a man in black sportswear came over from the other end, with his hands in his pockets and a peaked cap, lowered down. Xiao Xu took a look and felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. I took a look.

The man in black came to Ling Yi's side, suddenly became violent, and rushed towards Ling Yi. Ling Yi held the mobile phone in one hand and turned his head. It happened so fast that he didn't have time to react.

He saw a black shadow rushing towards him, and then he was pulled by another force on the left side - Xiao Xu pulled him past, the phone fell to the ground with a "bang bang" sound, Xiao Xu kicked the person away , saw the knife in his hand.

Seeing that the blow was impossible, the man didn't pick up the knife, so he turned around and wanted to run, Xiao Xu chased after him, kicked him in the back, and the man fell forward to the ground, he grabbed the man's hands behind his back, suppressed him.

The people on the ground gasped, "Let me go, let me go!"

It was a middle-aged man with a gruff voice.

He raised his hand and took off his hat.

Ling Yi's driver got out of the car and trotted over, Xiao Xu told him to call the police.

Ling Yi was still standing where he was, his hands hanging by his legs trembled slightly. At that moment, a fragment of memory quickly flashed through his mind. After a while, he grabbed his trembling right hand with his left hand, gritted his teeth and gave a low snort. Sound, squatted down and picked up the phone.

The person on the ground who was being suppressed by Xiao Xu didn't move, as if he had given up struggling, a shadow surrounded him, Xiao Xu raised his head, saw Ling Yi standing on top of him, and kicked the person on the ground twice , the man snorted twice, turned his head, and Ling Yi saw his face clearly.

"Do you know him?" Xiao Xu asked him.

Ling Yi took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but didn't light it, "I don't know."

Not long after, the police came, and the man was taken away. They also went to the police station. This matter soon came to a conclusion. It was a dispute in the company. An employee who was fired by him last month, because of unspoken rules at work, and this caused him to become a stain in his life, no company accepted him.

He couldn't find a job, faced the sight of others for more than a month, was in a daze, and resented Ling Yi, and this happened today.

The neon lights were on at night, the streets were full of people, the driver got out of the car and went to the convenience store to buy water, Ling Yi sat in the back seat, closed his eyes and leaned against the car seat, Xiao Xu adjusted the rearview mirror in the co-pilot.

Ling Yi's handsome face in the mirror was extremely complexioned, his closed eyelashes were trembling, and his fair skin seemed to glow at night.

Xiao Xu lightly tapped her leg with one fingertip, rested her other hand on the car window, propped her chin, and looked at the person in the rearview mirror.

The person in the mirror suddenly opened his eyes and met his gaze.

Xiao Xu's fingertips tapping on her legs stopped suddenly.

Ah, found it.

"What are you looking at?" Ling Yi lowered his eyes.

Xiao Xu raised the corners of her lips lightly: "You look good."

Ling Yi curled his fingers, turned his head and looked out of the window, but didn't make a sound for a while.

"Xiao Xu, do you treat everyone like this?"

"How?" Xiao Xu asked.

Ling Yi thought for a while and said, "Noisy."

Xiao Xu couldn't help laughing out: "Ah...then it shouldn't be, it's only for you."

No one has ever described him as "noisy". He feels that he is not a talkative person.

The special metaphor in the sentence "Only for you" made Ling Yi feel a little happy, but he frowned a little bit angrily, as if the boundary was blurred, he was addicted to it, and enjoyed it, without breaking it.

The driver came over with water, he handed it to Ling Yi in the back seat, Ling Yi unscrewed it and took a sip, the driver got in the car, subconsciously looked into the rearview mirror, and found that the rearview mirror was crooked, he raised his hand to adjust it : "Boss Ling, are you going home now?"

Ling Yi's mouth was covered with water, and his Adam's apple was rolling. After a while, he asked Xiao Xu, "Can you drive?"

Xiao Xu tilted her head: "Yes."

Ling Yi said to the driver: "You get off work first."

The driver silently unfastened the seat belt he had just fastened, and it was a good thing to leave work early.

The driver left, Xiao Xu switched from the passenger seat to the driver's seat, put on his seat belt, and asked Ling Yi where he was going.

Ling Yi said an address, it must be Qing.

There was soft music playing in the bar, the lights were dim, there was a wine cabinet on the bar counter, and the bartender was shaking the bartending utensils. Ling Yi was sitting at the bar counter wearing a shirt, with two buttons unbuttoned at the neckline, hanging loosely on the collarbone.

Xiao Xu sat beside him, Ling Yi took out a cigarette, and passed one in front of him, Xiao Xu blocked it, but didn't want it.

"You don't look like a non-smoker at all." Ling Yiyu put away his cigarette, and took a sip from the glass on the table.

"Really?" Xiao Xu leaned beside him. He wanted to drive, so he didn't order alcohol. "I used to smoke, but now I quit."

Hearing this, Ling Yi glanced sideways at him.

Xiao Xu smiled and said, "Health."

Apart from this reason, there is also the fact that his father went bankrupt, and when his mother was seriously ill, he also smoked and drank a lot to relieve stress for a period of time. Now it’s not that he can’t smoke and drink, it’s just that he doesn’t really want to taste the taste of tobacco and alcohol.

"Graduated from a prestigious school written on your profile." Ling Yi said again.

Xiao Xu: "Yes."

Ling Yi: "Do you want to come to work in my company?"

Xiao Xu glanced at him: "Open the back door for me?"

Ling Yi glanced sideways at him: "Do you want it?"

Xiao Xu's shoulders approached him, and the two of them almost touched shoulders. Xiao Xu also took off his suit jacket, and only wore a white shirt with a tie loosely tied around the neckline. He had messy hair, a handsome face, and Exudes a bohemian temperament.

He walked around with one hand from behind, and put it on Ling Yi's shoulder, with a slight force, as if there was nothing there, Ling Yi glanced at his hand, but didn't pat it down.

"Mr. Ling, if you want to get something, you have to pay. What about you, what do you need from me?" Xiao Xu's breath fell on his earlobe, "Working hard for you?"

Ling Yi didn't plan to transfer him to the company for the time being, but just to test him, what he wants, human desires are the most vulnerable to temptation.

"I'm very satisfied now, Mr. Ling." Xiao Xu smiled in his ear, and the two "Mr. Ling" were called ambiguously by him.

Like an arrow shot out, it turned several times, and finally pierced Ling Yi's heart.

Is money enough?

No, he hopes that Xiao Xu's desire will be more and bigger, so that he can control it better, and stay by his side until he gets bored, instead of seducing him vaguely.

Ling Yi looked directly at the interest in Xiao Xu in his heart, but he thought it was only short-lived, just like those couples who cry to be together for life and death today, maybe they will become strangers after a while.

He doesn't believe that intimacy can last forever, and everything has a time limit, just like the novelty he felt towards Xiao Xu.

He did have his attention.

Xiao Xu let go of Ling Yi's shoulder: "We were in the garage today, were you scared?"

Ling Yi pulled away from the daze.

Did he notice it?

This feeling is subtle.

He sneered: "Do you think I look like that?"

Xiao Xu shrugged: "I thought you would be afraid."

The corner of his lips hooked: "In this way, I can comfort you as a matter of course."

Ling Yi had a lump in his throat.

comfort?How to comfort?

He asked subconsciously: "Do you think you can comfort me?"

"Maybe I can give you a warm embrace." Xiao Xu turned sideways, put one hand on the bar and stretched out the other.

Ling Yi turned his head to look at him, met his smiling eyes, turned his face away and said, "Are you kidding me, will I be afraid?"

But it's just a small scene.

Xiao Xu said "ah" regretfully, "Well, what a pity."

What a pity!

Ling Yi picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but he might as well have been choked. He covered his mouth and coughed, his face was flushed red, and the corners of his eyes were smudged red.

Xiao Xu raised her hand and patted him on the back: "Are you all right?"

Ling Yi pushed his hand away, stopped coughing, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going to the toilet."

Xiao Xu looked at his flustered back, with his fists pressed to his lips, and couldn't help laughing.

Hmm... the cute little hedgehog is so vicious.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Xu sent Ling Yi home. Ling Yi was sitting in the back seat with the car window half open. The wind was blowing his hair, making his hair messy. landscape.

The car was very quiet, at the intersection of traffic lights, Xiao Xu slowly let go of the accelerator, he drove very steadily, making Ling Yi a little sleepy.

"The coming-of-age ceremony of the Cheng family's second young master the day after tomorrow, the banquet tonight." Ling Yi took a deep breath, and then let it out, "You come with me, come to me and change."

"Okay." Xiao Xu glanced at him from the rearview mirror.

Ling Yi was looking out the window with aimless eyes.

He drove the car downstairs to Ling Yi's apartment, Ling Yi got out of the car and asked him to drive the car back directly, come to pick him up tomorrow, and then went upstairs, Xiao Xu watched him enter the apartment and sat in the driver's seat , glanced back casually, and saw the suit jacket on the back seat car.

He took out his phone and sent Ling Yi a message.

【Xiao Xu: Mr. Ling, your coat is still in the car. 】

The phone vibrated twice, and there was a new message.

[Mr. Ling: Got it. 】

Xiao Xu looked at the head portrait, which looked like a smiling golden retriever dog. He moved his fingers and changed the note to "Little Hedgehog", which looked much more pleasing to the eye than Mr. Ling.

At [-] o'clock on Saturday night, Xiao Xu put on a custom-made suit prepared by Ling Yi, and went to the banquet with him, saying it was a coming-of-age ceremony, and it was more like a banquet for business exchanges.

The banquet is held in a hotel. There are all kinds of drinks on the table. The waiters shuttle among them, pushing carts and holding trays. The women wear gorgeous dresses, the men wear suits, and Xiao Xu is well-dressed among them, which does not violate harmony at all. .

And in such a crowded place, he will inevitably meet people he once knew.

H City is an upper-class circle, more or less know each other, Xiao Xu used to be a member of this circle, but now everything is gone, but the traces of the past will still remain.

"Xiao Xu?" A voice came from behind him.

Xiao Xu turned her head, and a man with slightly curly brown hair came over, and said pleasantly, "It's really you!"

Ling Yi was a few steps away from him, talking with other people, and didn't notice the movement on his side.

"Why don't you contact me? My phone number is empty..." The man's name is Zhang Qidong, he has a cute baby face, and he is talking nonsense, "How are you doing now?"

"Very good." Xiao Xu smiled.

The two chatted for a while, and then a voice came in, "Qidong, I've been looking for you for a long time—huh? Xiao Xu."

When Xiao Xu saw this person, his smile faded.

"How did you get in?" Li Jiaxun looked at Xiao Xu, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "You didn't sneak in, did you?"

This person has had a feud with him before, and he is proficient in such things as throwing stones into trouble.

Xiao Xu raised her eyebrows, and said slowly: "You can come in, why can't I?"

"Tch." Li Jiaxun sneered and said in a low voice, "You are so arrogant, I haven't heard from you for so long, I thought you couldn't get along anymore, hey, do you want me to introduce you to a job——"

Zhang Qidong pulled him aside, trying to make him stop talking.

"Xiao Xu." There was another voice beside him.

Xiao Xu felt that his name was really busy tonight, so he turned his head, and Ling Yi, who was still chatting with others just now, came beside him, combing the broken hair at the corner of his forehead, revealing a smooth and full forehead, narrow and long eyes watching People seem to have a hidden edge and are very aggressive.

"Who are they?" he asked.

If we divide their high society into different levels, we can say that Ling Yi and Li Jiaxun are in two different classes. Li Jiaxun knows Ling Yi, but Ling Yi doesn't know Li Jiaxun.

Li Jiaxun looked at the familiar posture of Ling Yi and Xiao Xu, and felt a faint feeling in his heart.

Xiao Xu glanced at Li Jiaxun, "Not so important."

"Why do you say that, we were all friends before." Li Jiaxun said with a smile, his face changed very quickly.

Some people in the circle are so unabashedly realistic.

"Friend?" Ling Yi looked at Xiao Xu, seeming to confirm.

Xiao Xu met his gaze and understood that he meant to support him.

"Xiao Xu, you can't forget our old friends." Li Jiaxun raised his glass to Xiao Xu with a bright smile.

"Really?" Xiao Xu said casually, and suddenly laughed, "Didn't you just say you wanted to introduce me to a job?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Li Jiaxun nodded, "Our department is short of people, do you want to try it?"

"What does President Ling think?" Xiao Xu turned around and asked.

Ling Yi glanced at him and asked Li Jiaxun, "Are you robbing me?"

Li Jiaxun's smile froze: "How could that be?"

Xiao Xu turned her head away, pursed the corner of her mouth into a smile, and focused entirely on the snatching in Ling Yi's words.

After this "friendly" exchange ended, Ling Yi asked Xiao Xu to follow him. Xiao Xu also had a lot of experience in this kind of banquet, and he was at Ling Yi's side to help out like a fish in water.

During the big banquet, the two met Song Shizhi in the middle. Song Shizhi said a few specious words to Xiao Xu, playing riddles that only the two of them understood, and even mentioned the fact that Xiao Xu's mother was hospitalized. Xu remembered what happened last time.

In the lounge, Ling Yi lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, Xiao Xu leaned on the sofa, looked sideways at the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, "Let's smoke less."

This sentence came out so naturally that even he himself was taken aback.

"You care about me?" Ling Yi squinted his eyes, his face was obscured by the smoke.

He leaned forward with his hands on his lap.

"How could it be?" Xiao Xu turned around and smiled at him.

Ling Yi looked at the smile at the corner of his mouth, and his heartbeat seemed to miss a beat suddenly. The warmth from his chest reached his limbs and bones, exuding an inexplicable emotion.

That smile broke into his line of sight suddenly, and then it was taken back without a trace.

After a while, Ling Yi said, "Smile again." He paused, and said, "Like just now."

Xiao Xu raised her eyebrows: "Boss Ling, I don't want to laugh."

Ling Yi made a "tsk", feeling a little annoyed, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but his current state was very wrong, he desperately wanted to find a breakthrough, and Xiao Xu was the beginning and source of something wrong.

"But if you want to see it, I can smile for you." Xiao Xu propped his elbows on the armrest of the sofa, leaned his head sideways, and slowly curled his lips, revealing a frivolous smile.

Would a man ever say something like "laugh again" to another man?Anyway, Xiao Xu was listening to it for the first time.

The provocations I heard before were all "move again".

This request is a little inexplicable, Xiao Xu is not a piece of wood, so he can naturally feel Ling Yi's good and bad temper, although he doesn't know the reason, but he has a vague feeling, and he can't say what that feeling is for a while.

It's like being covered with a layer of mist, a layer of tulle, you can see a little outline, but you can't see the real appearance inside.

He began to wonder what Ling Yi was thinking.

Ling Yi looked at the smile on his lips, bit the cigarette butt, met those smiling eyes, took off the cigarette from his mouth, and put it out in the ashtray.

"I received a few photos before," he said.

Xiao Xu: "Huh?"

Ling Yi took out his mobile phone, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xiao Xu. He knew in his heart that he was changing the subject.

The photo shows the day when Xiao Xu and Song Shizhi met, one was in the car and the other was outside.

Xiao Xu finished reading with downcast eyes.

Ling Yi: "He was looking for you, why didn't you tell me?"

"Where did the photos come from?" Xiao Xu asked, and then replied, "It's not really important."

"Song Shizhi sent it." Ling Yi said.

Xiao Xu: "He wants to provoke us."

Ling Yi said, "I know."

The number is not Song Shizhi's, but Ling Yi knows that the other party is him, and no one else would do such a boring thing except him.

"Next time he looks for you, you can look for me." Ling Yi paused for two seconds, "You are mine, and I won't leave you alone."

"Boss Ling makes people feel safe." Xiao Xu returned the phone to him.

Ling Yi: "..."

He stood up suddenly, "Let's go."

After staying in this lounge for long enough, the air inside seems to have become stuffy.

Xiao Xu walked in front, he opened the door to let Ling Yi out, and then followed him out. When he reached the corner, Ling Yi stopped suddenly, and he took a step back.

The distance was too close, Xiao Xu almost bumped into him, and he also took a step back.

Ling Yi turned around and took Xiao Xu's hand, which was firm and not the kind of pure friendship between a man and a man. Xiao Xu lowered his head and looked at the hands they were holding.

"Song Shizhi is here, you know what you should do." Ling Yi said, whether this sentence was really to let Song Shizhi see their relationship clearly, or it was a sudden selfishness, even Ling Yi himself couldn't tell.

"Oh...Understood." Xiao Xu said lazily, pulling Ling Yi's hand, pushing him against the wall, inserting one leg between his legs, the suit trousers rubbing against each other made a slight sound, Xiao Xu another One hand rests on the side of Ling Yi's face.

Ling Yi's breathing was out of rhythm, his back was against the wall, and Xiao Xu's provocative face was in front of him, he suddenly approached, Ling Yi turned his head subconsciously.

Xiao Xu rested her chin on his shoulder, leaned her head into his ear and said, "Boss Ling, you really hate him."

"Nonsense." Ling Yi whispered, panting a bit.

"What a coincidence." Xiao Xu said, "I don't like him too much."

Footsteps sounded, and a figure appeared at the corner. Song Shizhi looked at the two people who were embracing each other not far away, and paused.

I saw the two hugging each other in an extremely intimate posture, and the hand around his leg clenched into a fist and tightened suddenly.

Ling Yi looked at Song Shizhi lightly, and pushed Xiao Xu's waist: "Someone is here."

Xiao Xu straightened up, turned his head to look over, he let go of Ling Yi, put his arms around his shoulders, and said to Song Shizhi, "What a coincidence, President Song."

Song Shizhi twitched the corner of his mouth: "I seem to have disturbed you."

Xiao Xu said: "How could it be?"

"Let's go." Ling Yi raised his foot, and Xiao Xu followed.

Song Shizhi looked at the backs of the two leaving, his eyes darkened.

-

"If you stimulate him so much, it will make me feel that you are using me and trying to make him jealous."

Xiao Xu and Ling Yi walked away, they stood side by side, their backs looked matching.

Ling Yi heard his words and said, "I just want him to give up."

"But this method doesn't seem to work very well." Xiao Xu said, Ling Yi wanted to make Song Shizhi give up with someone he had a relationship with, but Xiao Xu's behavior just now was purely motivated by stimulating Song Shizhi.

"It's better to change his way to make him give up."

Ling Yi asked: "What way?"

"Just keep him busy."

"Get busy..."

"If it doesn't work, if he finds trouble with you, you can make trouble for him and let him learn a lesson..."

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Xiao Xu smiled: "Of course not."

It was already late at the end of the banquet, and the driver took Ling Yi home. In the car, Ling Yi did not speak, and sat in the back with his eyes closed. When he arrived at the apartment building, Ling Yi asked Xiao Xu to follow him. It's still his, so naturally he wants to go up and change back his clothes, he has no objection.

A window on the upper floor of the apartment was lit, Xiao Xu changed shoes at the door, the interior lights were bright, Ling Yi stood by the sofa, unbuttoned his coat, and threw the clothes aside.

Xiao Xu asked: "Shall I change clothes first?"

Ling Yi: "Change clothes?"

Xiao Xu: "Let me come up, don't you want to change clothes?"

Ling Yi's eyes fell on him, he was wearing a well-fitting suit, which looked good, and he said, "I'll see you off."

The custom-made suit doesn't fit Ling Yi's size, so it's useless to leave it to him.

Xiao Xu asked again: "My suit..."

Ling Yi: "In the bedroom."

Xiao Xu walked towards the bedroom and saw his suit of clothes folded squarely at the foot of the bed. When he bent down to get the clothes, he heard the sound of the door closing behind him.

He paused and turned around.

Ling Yi tugged at the tie, while pulling, approached, pulled the tie out, and threw it aside, Xiao Xu glanced at it.

"I've thought about what you said tonight," he said.

Xiao Xu said a lot tonight, "Which sentence?"

"The way to make Song Shizhi give up." Ling Yi said, and he walked up to Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu stood by the bed, with the big soft bed behind him, Ling Yi raised his hand, and pushed his shoulder, but he didn't push, he used some force, Xiao Xu took advantage of the situation and sat on the side of the bed.

"Boss Ling, you drink
