Fire to the Abyss

Lu Yuan withdrew his hands just in time before igniting Xia's surname fire, and he put down his hands covering his face, revealing another unflattering smile, "Captain Xia, how is my acting?"

After finishing speaking, he deliberately moved his right arm, which was just hit by Xia Yan, it was fine up, down, left, and right, and he even swung it in a circle.Only then did Xia Yan recall that when he was at the bar just now, Lu Yuan served him a drink with his right arm in a standard manner, so how could he be injured?Xia Yan didn't know which of his tendons was wrong, and he was actually deceived by this clumsy technique.

Xia Yan kicked Lu Yuan mercilessly, feeling powerless as if his conscience was being fed to a dog. He was deceived twice by this man's acting in one day, and he secretly vowed not to worry about this bastard ever again.

Xia Yan turned around angrily, and said as he walked, "I haven't seen you for a month. You have evolved from an ordinary idiot to one who can act. Congratulations, Boss Lu."

Lu Yuan took advantage of his long legs and followed in a few steps: "Captain Xia, I'm also here to test you. Look at you, you've been tricked again. Your acuity has degraded. This won't work. You're most afraid of the senses when you're in this business." I'm not sharp anymore, I need to practice more. You are welcome to find me anytime and make a family discount with you."

Xia Yan snorted coldly: "Train your head! How about I also train you how your face can withstand my fist?"

Speaking of slapping the face, Lu Yuan hesitated for a second, and stretched out his hand to touch his face: "That can't be done, I still have to rely on my face to make a living."

Xia Yan took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, twisted it with two fingers and stretched it out in front of Lu Yuan, pointing his chin at him.

Lu Yuan smiled helplessly: "Captain Xia, I didn't bring a lighter."

Xia Yan impatiently signaled him to take it in his pocket with his eyes.

Lu Yuan's mind, which had been suppressed just now, became distracted again. He faintly felt that Xia Yan's attitude was different from before, and he couldn't help thinking, is he acting like a baby to himself?

But when he took out the lighter, all his charming thoughts disappeared.

It was a Zippo lighter, with a three-dimensional half wing printed on the silver metal case, but it was a little worn out, but the sun pattern carved in the corner with a clumsy technique was still clearly visible, silently showing people tell its origin.

This lighter was given by Zhong Qing, and Xia Yan's body temperature still remained on it.

Lu Yuan's heart was full of waves, but none of them showed on his face.

He very obediently lit a cigarette for Xia Yan, and said in the same relaxed tone as Mr. Park's talking: "The blind date also brought something from his ex-girlfriend, Captain Xia, your heart is wider than the Atlantic Ocean."

Xia Yan let out a foul breath: "I'm used to it and don't bother to change it. It's been a while since she gave this lighter. I almost forgot it, but you still remember it."

Lu Yuan said in an almost inaudible voice, "I remember everything about you."

Xia Yan didn't hear a word clearly, but he didn't care, and he started talking: "She has been doing well since she separated from me. Not long ago, I heard from an old classmate of mine that my new boyfriend proposed to her, and the scene was very special. It's grand, with nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses."

Lu Yuan showed a standard smile: "Hahaha... Xia, are you envious? Or jealous?"

"Fuck you, why should I be envious?" Xia Yan retorted without hesitation, but after a few minutes of silence, he picked up the topic again, "But, maybe it's a little bit. Zheng, looks like a Lantern Festival, but has a very beautiful and virtuous wife. Both of them are over half a century old, and they are still tired and crooked. I often think that it is really nice to have such a daughter-in-law, After you get home, someone will lie on the sofa with the lights on waiting for you to get off work, and heat up the food for you when you go to take a shower. It feels like home. Unlike me, an old bachelor who only has one when he comes home after a hard day. A dark kennel awaits me."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, and just when Xia Yan thought he was going to make some grand speeches, he replied meanly: "Captain Xia, please don't insult the dog."

Xia Yan: "..."

Lu Yuan didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and teased: "That's why you're reduced to a blind date? Captain Xia, don't tell me you can't find a partner by relying on free love? Ah, how pitiful~"

Xia Yan retorted righteously: "Blind date is also free love!"

Lu Yuan replied without sincerity: "Yes, yes, you are right."

Xia Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, took a step forward and continued to walk forward, muttering in a low voice while walking: "It's not like everyone is like you, blue face is troublesome."

Lu Yuan kept a distance of two steps from him all the time, and with all his attention on him, he naturally listened to every word.Although it is true that the relationship between men and women is chaotic, it was a long time ago, and now it is basically some business entertainment. Although Xia Yan often uses this to irritate people, he knows it in his heart.What he said, could it be that the day Xia Yan happened to see Xia Yan when he went out of the hotel with that woman, Xia Yan actually saw him too?

Lu Yuan's thoughts were once again disturbed by Xia Yan's words. On the one hand, he didn't want Xia Yan to see the picture of himself walking with a woman. On the other hand, he wanted Xia Yan to see him. Know how he will react, whether he will care even a little bit.

In fact, Xia Yan really cared about it. In his impression, since he met Lu Yuan, he didn't have any serious dating partners. Some of them were just playmates, and the duration was very short. Especially recently, the playmates are gone. There are only some work partners. It is because of this that he has cultivated an abstinent temperament.Of course, this does not prevent Xia Yan from suspecting that Lu Yuan played too much in his early years, which caused a certain physiological function to decline prematurely.

The principle of Lu Yuan's work and entertainment is never to meet alone - after all, even if he has no thoughts about others, there is no guarantee that others will have no thoughts about him.In Xia Yan's eyes, Lu Yuan is just a fighting scum, and he might be "forced" by others, so when he socializes, he always brings his assistant, a black belt in Taekwondo, and his driving skills are not comparable to Xia Yan's. Up and down the simple girl.But the day Xia Yan met Lu Yuan, he didn't bring an assistant with him, and the place where he appeared was quite ambiguous. Although Lu Yuan's attitude was very gentlemanly, the two of them didn't have much physical contact, but their outfits can basically be classified as a couple's outfit Out of scope, Lu Yuan specially wore a pair of glasses that matched the girl's scarf. Xia Yan has known him for so many years, but he has never seen him wearing glasses, and the same goes for earrings. Xia Yan didn't even notice that he has pierced ears.

Xia Yan didn't have so many twists and turns, but he wasn't a straightforward one either, so he asked in a very roundabout way: "Lu Yuan, have you ever had your ears pierced?"

But even if it was such a far-fetched question, Lu Yuan still understood his real intention from his slightly awkward expression the moment he asked it.

Lu Yuan: "Well, there has always been."

Xia Yan: "Why haven't I seen you wearing earrings?"

I bring something I don’t usually wear when I go to meet someone. The first possibility is to please the other person, and the second possibility is that the item is given by the other person to make the other person feel that I have let him go. on heart.With Lu Yuan's blue-faced personality, there are many cases where others deliberately please him, so Xia Yan is more inclined to possibility two.

Lu Yuan pretended to be relaxed and replied: "It's not appropriate to wear those young people's things when you are old."

lie.

Xia Yan's eyes darkened, he stopped asking questions, and smoked a cigarette while walking.He was almost sure that Lu Yuan knew what he wanted to ask, and Lu Yuan gave such a response, although he didn't explain it, but the subtext was "It's not suitable for normal wear, it's suitable for the girl you like".

Xia Yan finished smoking one cigarette and lit another. He couldn't help thinking desolately in his heart, Lu Yuan was about to settle down, he seemed to be really going to be a loner, and the sense of loneliness suddenly became strong and real.After Zhong Qing's incident, Xia Yan held a pessimistic attitude towards love and marriage from the bottom of his heart. Although he envied the decades-long unswerving love between Zheng Xing and his wife, he was not confident that he could find such a suitable partner. .

Zhong Qing said that his feelings are not love, but he has never had a stronger feeling for anyone than Zhong Qing, so it is not surprising that he cannot find someone he likes more in the second half of his life.If he finds someone who admires him like before, it is hard to guarantee that it will not end like Zhong Qing, and it will be a kind of harm to other girls.

In this way, there seemed to be no light in the two ways out. The more Xia Yan thought about it, the more he felt that there was a high possibility that he would end up alone.

Xia Yan's shadow was elongated by the light of the street lamp, and among the mottled silhouettes left by various branches, he looked lonely and desolate.He is not tall, and he looks very small wrapped in Lu Yuan's slightly loose windbreaker.He has a dignified face, but his behavior is sometimes sloppy. For example, at this moment, he is twisting the cigarette with two fingers, slightly raising his chin and blowing out a puff of smoke ring, which is better than any smoker Lu Yuan has ever seen. Skillful, fluid, and, yes, sexy.

As hell sexy.

Lu Yuan actually doesn't like smoking, nor does he like the smell of smoke, but the faint smell of tobacco on Xia Yan's body always makes him intoxicated.

Lu Yuan thought that Xia Yan might be to him what drugs are to an addict.Xia Yan is like a brightly colored forbidden fruit, exuding a seductive luster, possessing a fatal allure to the deeply poisoned self.It takes considerable self-control to resist the urge to bite.Lu Yuan often closes his eyes and simulates the scene of being shot through the heart by Xia Yan when his impulsiveness is hard to restrain himself. Only when he sees the bloody scene at the end can he truly and clearly understand the consequences of obeying his instinct— —Take a step, and the world will fall apart.

Only the scene of dripping blood can cool down the blood.

Noticing that there were no footsteps behind him, Xia Yan looked back. Lu Yuan stood there, not knowing what he was thinking, his face was covered by the shadow of the tree, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Hey, let's go, the dazed actor over there."

"Wait, I'll go over there to buy something." Lu Yuan pointed to the alley on the right.

Xia Yan followed the direction of his finger and saw a small shop with lights on.It is obviously different from the retro literary and artistic shops on the main street. This shop has a simple and retro style. Strictly speaking, it is not retro. It is really old.The storefront is a narrow and dilapidated room. An old man with gray hair is sitting at the door looking at the black and white TV set on the wall. Judging from the products displayed outside the store door, it should be the same as the small commodity store that Xia Yan liked to visit when he was in elementary school. , You can buy a Transformer for fifty cents.

Xia Yan raised his chin, expressing that his mature self is not interested in this kind of shop, you should invite it yourself, then he found a bench with good lighting and sat down, leaning on the back of the chair and puffing.

Lu Yuan walked briskly to the small shop, "Uncle He, give me a lighter."

Youzai Youzai watching the TV, the boss reluctantly turned his eyes away from the bitter drama played on the black and white TV, and landed on Lu Yuan: "Oh, Xiaoyuan, which one do you want?"

The bench Xia Yan was sitting on was not far from the small shop, and the wind had quieted down at this moment, and he could hear the conversation between the two people opposite him clearly, so when he heard the name "Xiaoyuan", he couldn't help laughing Voice.

"...just take the best kind."

Even though he said that, Lu Yuan was really not sure. He didn't know that the most expensive lighter here would not exceed ten yuan.

Sure enough, he got a lighter that looked cheap at first glance, with a bikini beauty pattern on it.

Lu Yuan held the lighter in silence for 30 seconds, then bought a cartoon sticker with a gloomy expression.

Of course, when Xia Yan heard the boss ask, "Do you want this Pikachu sticker?", he couldn't straighten up laughing immediately.

Lu Yuan and Pikachu, what kind of weird combination is this?
