Forces of Temptation

Nan Zhou looked at Xie Xiangyu's hand stretched out to him.

Under the light of the thin crescent moon, his slender and beautiful wrist bones and neat and clean nails can easily give people a natural good impression.

But he thought, not as good-looking as Brother Fang's hands.

Nan Zhou didn't try to accept or understand his unreasonable kindness.

The truth is, the intensely restrained fanaticism in Xie Xiangyu's eyes made him feel very uncomfortable.

He asked, "Why should I be your teammate?"

Xie Xiangyu raised his hands persistently, facing Nan Zhou, and said word by word: "Because you need a companion."

"Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang, who really knows what you are?"

"They only know that you are a capable teammate and an excellent helper, but do they know your identity?"

"In front of them, you will always need a disguise; in front of me, you don't need to."

"I admire you. You may not believe me when I say this, but in my mind, you are a nearly perfect existence—"

Xie Xiangyu spoke faster, his cheeks were slightly red, and his heartbeat was much faster than before.

Judging from his various physical reactions, Nan Zhou believed that what he said was completely sincere.

After listening to all his persuasion, Nan Zhou suddenly nodded: "... Ah."

Seeing that Nan Zhou didn't seem to reject him, Xie Xiangyu showed a happy face, and stretched out his hand to him again.

His eyebrows and eyes are full of arrogant self-confidence: "Jiang Fang can't satisfy everything for you. I can do it."

Nan Zhou firmly grasped the hand he extended.

Nan Zhou said: "When you mentioned Brother Fang, it reminded me of one thing."

Before Xie Xiangyu could react, his grasped hand was twisted to the side, making a dull cracking sound.

Nan Zhou moved his other hand a bit, and after Xuxu made a fist, without any hesitation, he swung his fist horizontally to the handsome and astonished face of the person in front of him.

Xie Xiangyu staggered and slammed into the barbed wire fence on the roof.

Nanzhou controlled his strength within a very small range, worried that he would lose the points in front of him directly.

He shook his hand, and briefly gave the reason for his punch: "You hurt Brother Fang."

You know, Brother Fang's shoulders were reddened by him.

After beating Xie Xiangyu, Nan Zhou's purpose of going to the appointment has been achieved.

It was still a little cold.

Nan Zhou turned his back and planned to go downstairs to go home.

At this time, Nan Jixing, who was originally hanging in the hood, was awakened by the shock, and poked his head drowsily, just in time to see Xie Xiangyu's face clearly.

It jumped out from Nan Zhou's shoulder with a chirp, and screamed at Xie Xiangyu, its squirrel-colored fur exploded like a ball.

Nan Zhou was a little puzzled, turned his face to ask it: "Why?"

Nan Jixing stared at Xie Xiangyu closely, showing the full vigilance of small animals.

Xie Xiangyu managed to recover his vision from the gibberish mess of characters in front of him.

He barely swallowed the bloody smell in his mouth, wiped the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and sighed with a smile: "It really hurts."

He raised his eyes to look at Nan Zhou, held onto the barbed wire, and pressed the flexible barbed wire with his fingertips until it sank slightly: "I know, you still hate me."

Nan Zhou originally wanted to leave, but when he heard Xie Xiangyu's brilliant remarks, he couldn't help but turn around.

Xie Xiangyu gently touched the injured area with his tongue.

Looking at Nan Zhou's face, his blood boiled again: "But you have to believe that I am the first person who has seriously studied you. I know how lonely you are, so I thought of a way to help you out, although It used to fail, but not now."

"I can probably guess what you want. You come with me, as long as we can win this game, my wish will come true, and yours will also—"

Nan Zhou looked at him intently.

...still don't see why.

"Sorry." He interrupted Xie Xiangyu's eloquent talk, "...do I know you?"

Xie Xiangyu's voice stopped abruptly.

Nan Zhou blinked when he saw his expression of disbelief frozen in place.

Because he didn't like the person in front of him, he wasn't really interested in who Xie Xiangyu was.

He just asked casually.

He didn't know how long Xie Xiangyu would maintain this dumbfounded state.

...so cold.

Nan Zhou wrapped Jiang Fang's coat tighter: "I'm going back."

Xie Xiangyu's chest heaved violently, and he shouted incessantly, "...wait a minute!"

Nan Zhou turned around again and asked him what else he wanted to do with his eyes.

Xie Xiangyu's expression was tense, the red marks on his face and the thin line of blood at the corner of his mouth were clearly visible.

Nan Zhou could see that he seemed very angry.

But when Jing Nanzhou thought about it carefully, he didn't seem so angry when he punched him just now.

Xie Xiangyu's voice was trying to maintain a trembling calm on the verge of collapse: "You don't remember... who am I?"

Nanzhou: "?"

He asked sincerely, "Why should I remember who you are?"

Xie Xiangyu took a quick breath and raised his finger to Nan Zhou.

His wrists were trembling a little: "You...Why did you go to the appointment? You forgot the past...Have you forgotten who you are?"

Nan Zhou admitted: "Well, I remember the past. I went to the appointment because of the two words you left me."

Xie Xiangyu: "Then why don't you remember me?"

Nanzhou: "..."

Nan Zhou: "Are you important?"

"--what?"

Xie Xiangyu almost couldn't catch his breath, his originally confident and arrogant smile was completely cracked.

He thought that Nanzhou would reject him, and even be angry, and would strangle him because of his past actions.

Xie Xiangyu was even mentally prepared to be killed by him.

But he never expected that what Nanzhou gave him was completely forgotten.

"You don't remember me?" He clenched his fists, "How can you not remember me?!"

His tone became more intense: "When we first met in the copy, in the corridor of the camping club, didn't you notice that I was hiding in the stairwell?!"

At that time, Xie Xiangyu himself had made a bet against the air with a smile on his face.

"I guess you know I'm here."

He really thought that Nan Zhou recognized his old friend from a hundred meters away.

Nan Zhou only pretended not to catch the fleeting figure he intentionally left for Nan Zhou when he turned into the stairwell because he was afraid that his identity would be leaked.

That's why he didn't want to show up easily in front of Nan Zhou, but instead looked for the right time to cooperate with those three fools, Sun Guojing.

But if Nan Zhou doesn't remember him, then what's the point of his hiding these days?

...is it just a funny clown one-man show? !

However, Nan Zhou's words ruthlessly shattered his last fantasy.

Out of respect, Nan Zhou carefully recalled the plot of that day.

——On that day, Brother Fang entered the camping club to ask about Xie Xiangyu's situation, while he and Yinhang stayed in the corridor.

At that time, he was indeed looking in the direction of the stairwell.

But that was because he saw a dragonfly with beautiful wings parked on the top of a tree next to the building, so he couldn't help taking a few more glances.

After clarifying the situation, Nan Zhou asked back: "Did you hide in the stairwell of that building?"

Nan Zhou felt that what he said was the truth.

Unexpectedly, after listening to his words, Xie Xiangyu's body trembled even more, as if he had suffered some great blow, and his eye circles were red with anger.

Nan Zhou: "..." and left.

This man is so strange.

When he was about to leave for the nth time, he heard Xie Xiangyu's exasperated voice: "I killed you!"

Nan Zhou finally stopped.

He turned his head and carefully studied Xie Xiangyu's appearance.

Probably because of his previous overconfidence, the blow caused by Nan Zhou's ignorance of him was too devastating, and the emotional gap between before and after, made the corners of Xie Xiangyu's eyes shimmer with anger.

After some effort, Nan Zhou finally matched this face with a certain face deep in his memory.

what.

No wonder it looked familiar.

He said lightly: "Relax. You are not the only one."

Xie Xiangyu lost all demeanor, and was forced to tremble by Nan Zhou's calm words.

Nan Zhou remembered another very important matter.

He: "Will you tell Brother Fang and Yinhang about me?"

Xie Xiangyu choked with anger: "I want to say it earlier! I want you to follow me willingly. If they know, what good will it do me?!"

Nan Zhou: "Oh. That's right."

Nan Zhou: "That's good."

Nanzhou: "Goodbye."

It has to be said that the system's estimate of Nan Zhou's ridicule value close to full marks is very good.

Xie Xiangyu was so angry that Nan Zhou was so angry that he thumped the barbed wire fence violently: "I don't want to see you again in my life!"

Nan Zhou ignored him.

He stepped out of the iron gate of the roof, supported the wall, and went downstairs step by step.

The sensor light on the steps from the roof to the roof is broken.

No one has come to repair it yet.

Turning around the corner of the nearest staircase, Nan Zhou was about to step down when he suddenly sensed an unusually cold and ominous aura.

In the corridor, somewhere in the door near the stairwell, there is a person hiding.

Nan Zhou maintained the movement of continuing to step down, and the moment his feet touched the next step of the stairs, he suddenly withdrew and rushed back quickly!

When he turned around completely, Nan Zhou couldn't help being surprised——

That tall, ghostly figure unexpectedly flashed out from the hiding place without knowing when, and stood behind him!

In the dark corridor, he accurately grabbed the man by the collar.

His hand was about to support the other party's neck, but his wrist was restrained ahead of time.

So he could only rush forward and smashed the person to the ground.

The spine collided with the hard ground, making a dull bang.

But the man's waist strength was astonishing, and with a pair of long legs pushing hard, he pushed Nan Zhou's knees away from his lower abdomen, rolled to the side, and directly pinned Nan Zhou under him.

Under the violent movement, the visitor's front was torn open, revealing a large piece of strong and beautiful chest.

Nan Zhou froze.

He smelled a refreshing and light grapefruit fragrance.

When the edge of the playing cards in his palm was about to cut into Nanzhou's throat, Jiang Fang also recognized the identity of the person in front of him.

He made a sudden mistake, and the playing cards were immediately put into the warehouse by him.

Therefore, only his fingers were half pinched and half landed on Nan Zhou's neck.

Nan Zhou's neck was pushed up slightly by him, completely exposing the most vulnerable part for living things.

But he didn't resist any more.

The scorching flames in Jiang Fang's eyes were extinguished and turned into a soft mist.

Jiang Fang: "I thought it was..." Xie Xiangyu.

Nan Zhou: "I thought it was..." A new monster in the dungeon.

Jiang Fang rolled over from Nan Zhou and sat up, half-kneeling and reaching out to him.

Nan Zhou also gave him his hand.

Jiang Fang: "You didn't concentrate enough in your sleep."

Nan Zhou was a little unconvinced: "You too."

Nan Zhou asked again: "You know I'm coming out?"

Jiang Fang: "I know. I knew it when you got up. I was worried about what risky things you were going to do, so I followed."

Nan Zhou pursed his lips: "Did you... hear anything just now?"

Jiang Fang said with a smile: "Standing a little far away, I only heard him crying. So I thought he would come down first."

Both of them felt a little guilty and were speechless for a while.

Jiang Fang straightened his messy collar.

Thinking of his hideous scars covered under the soft pajamas, Jiang Fang's heart softened.

He was the first to propose: "Go back?"

Nan Zhou nodded: "Go back."

Nan Zhou thought, maybe he shouldn't have asked Jiang Fang why he was waiting here quietly for Xie Xiangyu with the deadly poker.

So he didn't ask much.

Nanzhou felt that he seemed to see a different Brother Fang today.

However... This feeling of being unconditionally protected and favored by others is rare.

He doesn't hate it, he likes it very much.

However, it is precisely because of liking that some things are more difficult to say.

Nan Zhou put his hand into his pocket, silently clenched it tightly, and carefully hid his own secret in his palm.

Hidden there was the structure diagram of the house on the fifth floor of the east that he gathered.

In the lower right corner of the picture, there is Xie Xiangyu's phone number.

There are also two nice, unintelligible characters.

——"Eternal Day".
