The arrival of Shuang made Liu Yingnian and Ji Xingyuan heave a sigh of relief at the same time.

Those who were chasing from the Ji family were all knocked down from mid-air by Shuang with a wave of his hand, and they were no longer threatening.

"You were beaten?"

Liu Yingnian stepped on the ground with both feet, and as soon as he looked up, he noticed the difference in Shuang's body. He was startled. There were wounds all over Shuang's face and arms. blood stains.

How could someone like Shuang get hurt?

Ji Xingyuan's face was as ugly as Liu Yingnian's, but he responded quickly: "My dad beat me?"

Ji Xingyuan knew better than Liu Yingnian what kind of ability Shuang was. In the entire mercenary city, besides his father, who else could make Shuang suffer?

"Not really, I didn't really do anything." Shuang said lightly, "It's just that it took a while to come out."

Liu Yingnian didn't ask too many questions.

What Ji Xingyuan said before made him vaguely aware of something. Since Ji Xingyuan didn't want to live with them, Liu Yingnian could only understand that it was Shuang who called Ji Xingyuan over. In such a situation, it is impossible for Shuang to stay by his side 24 hours a day. Ji Xingyuan is also the orthodox heir of the Ji family, so it is more than enough to be a temporary bodyguard.

But obviously this can only be asked later, and it is not the right time to ask these questions.

"There should be people from the Ji family watching over the villa, we can't go back." Liu Yingnian said.

"Then don't go back." After Shuang finished speaking, he told Ji Xingyuan: "You go too quickly, and take those people back by the way." Ying Nian was safe and sound, and he didn't need to kill them all.

Ji Xingyuan lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head to show his trademark smile, "Uncle still misses Ji's family, grandma will be happy to know. I'll go first, and uncle remembers to owe me a meal."

He is also a smart man, he didn't ask much, and didn't stay too long, he beckoned, turned around and quickly jumped to the side, jumped a few times in the night sky, and rushed to the place where the Ji family fell just now, and disappeared in the blink of an eye into the dark.

"Be patient." Shuang looked at Liu Yingnian and grabbed his wrist.

Liu Yingnian nodded.

Shuang didn't even stay for a second, and led him to disappear in the same place in an instant, and teleported from a long distance three times in a row, before appearing in a completely strange room.

Even though Liu Yingnian was mentally prepared, he still felt that the space was jumping too fast, his internal organs were about to collapse, his body was almost about to explode due to the pressure of the space, and he couldn't bear it when he teleported for the last time, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, Instantly fainted.

……

Mercenary City, the highest floor.

Lin Mao put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the window post in the corridor. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw tall figures approaching from far and near. He raised the corners of his lips, took out a cigarette carelessly, and handed it to him. One for the visitor.

"It's not like your style. Last time I let Xiang go, and this time I deliberately let Shuang go. I still can't see what you mean."

Yu didn't use the lighter, and didn't see him make any movements, the cigarette in his hand was lit all at once. "You can trap people, but you can't trap your heart."

Lin Mao scolded with a smile: "Then why are you still sleepy?"

Yu took two puffs of cigarettes and was silent for a while, "One has to be selfish once."

Lin Mao lazily took two puffs of his cigarette and smiled, "Yes, people have to be selfish once. Then why aren't you selfish to the end?"

The mature and handsome face, as sharp as a knife, was quite gloomy under the corridor lights. "I can't bear it."

Lin Mao glanced at him: "What about Shuang?"

Yu raised his eyes to look at Lin Mao, "You and Shuang grew up together, and you still don't know him?"

The curvature of Lin Mao's lips deepened.

Yu's gaze fell outside the window, "He has his responsibility. He knows it himself. Let him go because he is my younger brother after all."

Lin Mao hummed in a tone of unknown meaning, which seemed to be mocking, but also sympathetic.

……

The room was brightly lit, and Liu Yingnian woke up to find him and Shuang lying on the bed.

A strange bed, a strange room.

He stood up and sat up. There were still some sequelae of teleportation, which made him uncomfortable. No matter how many times he had experienced the space pressure that was too much for ordinary people, it was difficult for him to adapt.

Liu Yingnian turned to look at Shuang, he was awake, but Shuang didn't move at all, this has never happened before.Remembering the wounds on Shuang's body before, he turned around, lifted Xiashuang's clothes, and saw similar wounds on Shuang's abdomen from the buttons of the clothes, his eyes sank, and he stretched out his hand to button up Shuang's clothes one by one. The clothes were unbuttoned, and sure enough, several wounds of different lengths were seen, and the blood stains had dried up.

This place looks like it should be a room in some high-end hotel, Liu Yingnian knew that Shuang must have brought him here, and the place they lived in must still be guarded by the Ji family, and they can no longer go back.

After spending some time figuring out where they are now, Liu Yingnian thought for a while and put down the phone in his hand. He originally wanted to call room service and ask someone to bring up the emergency medicine kit, but it was obviously not appropriate.

Taking the room card on the coffee table, Liu Yingnian left the room, got off the elevator all the way, and entered the 24-hour convenience pharmacy attached to the hotel.

"Welcome. What would you like to order?"

"Uh, if you fall down and break your skin or bleed, what kind of medicine do you need to buy? Please take some."

After chatting casually with the pharmacy clerk, he paid for the medicine and walked out of the automatic sensor door with the white plastic bag containing the medicine.

These... should work...

Standing outside the pharmacy, Liu Yingnian sighed, raised his head and prepared to return to the hotel, when he looked up, he saw a person coming out from the shadow in front of him, under the night, he was tall and tall, handsome and unparalleled.

"Ying Nian." The visitor slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Xianghua..." Liu Yingnian froze in place.

……

Liu Yingnian once thought that the reality of life had taught him to be selfish, strong, cruel, indifferent and numb.

But the result?

He found that what he learned was actually only the character and existence of supporting characters in the story.

In many stories, TV, movies, and novels, there are such shots and pictures——

The protagonist stands on the side of the subway, in the middle of the road, in high-rise buildings, on the bus, or in the vast sea of ​​people, watching the bustling crowd panicking day after day in a hurry: every day, every day, everyone is working hard to survive Making money, rushing to and from work, queuing at crowded traffic light intersections, expressionless faces, and no communication between people... This is a numb and self-aware society!This numb and self-aware city!This numb and ignorant person!

Therefore, the protagonist has self-examination and epiphany: I will never live like these people!I don't want to be so numb anymore!I want to change!I am different from them!

Liu Yingnian also had the same feelings as these protagonists.

He once naively believed that as long as he was serious, hardworking, and persistent, he would be the protagonist of life from his own perspective.

But later he found out that he is not even a supporting role, even if the protagonist is not the protagonist.

He himself was one of those numb and ignorant crowds.

In fact, he is just a passerby.

……

Only the supporting characters and passer-by, no matter what they do, they can't get rid of the fate of scum, and they can't get a happy ending like a fairy tale from beginning to end.

……

After Dai Shuang applied good medicine to the wound, Liu Yingnian left the bedroom.

Li Xianghua is sitting on the couch in the living room of the suite, with his long legs crossed, silently drinking the tea in his hand. The calm and steady temperament on his body is completely incompatible with his age. It is hard to believe that this is a man who is only 25 years old. youth.

Compared with the ever-victorious general in the shopping mall, Li Xianghua's aloof military temperament is more suitable for him.

As Liu Yingnian thought about it, Li Xianghua also raised his head to look at him, put down the tea in his hand and stood up, "It's all done?"

Liu Yingnian nodded, a little worried, "Is he really going to be fine like this?"

"Those injuries look terrible, but they're actually okay. He just temporarily fell into a self-protective deep sleep because he overused his mental power and exceeded the limit of his body's load. It will probably be fine if he sleeps a little longer."

"That's right." Liu Yingnian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

But Li Xianghua's idea of ​​sleeping a little longer may be different from what he thought... I don't know how long Shuang will sleep.

But as long as Frost is fine.

"I really don't like to see you thinking about that guy." Li Xianghua walked up to Liu Yingnian, raised his hand to brush the broken hair on the other side's forehead, stretched out his hands, and passed through Liu Yingnian's ears on both sides. Next to him, he put his arms around the man's neck, and his whole head hung on Liu Yingnian's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I'll be jealous."

Liu Yingnian's body stiffened instantly.

Yes, in fact, this person, the man who hugged him, was his lover in name, and it was also the first time in his life that he had a real relationship with him, his first love.

But now, completely different from the previous life, there is another person beside him, a person who is not what he and Li Xianghua expected, but completely breaks the balance between them.

One mistake, one mistake after another, has become a knot that cannot be untied now.

"Xianghua..."

"Leave that guy behind and come with me."

"..."

"Let's not care about other people, just go anywhere together like this, and leave here far away, okay?"

"……real?"

This time it was Li Xianghua who froze for a while, and closed his eyes, "I really want to say those things to you, those things, every sentence is what I want to say the most, but..."

"But you can't do it at all." Liu Yingnian said.

If it could be done, Li Xianghua wouldn't have to leave him in the last life.

He didn't know the reason in his previous life, but now, he can at least guess half of it, which is not bad.

Li Xianghua has responsibilities that he cannot abandon, he has his bounden duty, and he has tasks that he has to fulfill. In addition to being his partner, he is also a team partner of another group of people.

"...Mmm." Li Xianghua hugged him tightly without moving, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, I once said that I want to be with you for the rest of my life, but now, I'm afraid...

It can no longer be fulfilled...

Li Xianghua thought of the news he got in the mercenary city before leaving. Lin Mao had already confirmed that several top mercenary regiments in the world had all fallen "over there". Next, it would be this country's turn. up.The vanguard team had already gone to "over there" for investigation ten days ago, and after that, it was their turn to go to the battlefield after Yu's place made final preparations.

From now on, about...

possible……

can't come back...

No matter what, he couldn't tell Liu Yingnian about these things, and he didn't want to tell him. Telling him would only make Liu Yingnian worry about his burden.Liu Yingnian is just an ordinary person. He neither understands nor has the ability to fight against things that are classified as ancient martial arts, superpowers, magic, etc., which are far beyond common sense. Knowing about them is useless.Moreover, as long as he is around, Liu Yingnian can always be protected.

Anyway, it may not be [-]% certain that they will die there. If there are so many of them fighting desperately together, there will never be no hope at all. There should still be a glimmer of possibility to come back alive.

Before that, even if he didn't want to, he could barely bear Shuang's existence.

Compared to losing this person in my arms...

The person in his arms shook his head slightly, and finally raised his hands, hugging his waist, slowly, gently, and bit by bit, hugging him tightly.

A thread in Li Xianghua's heart was finally loosened.

No one knew how much he was afraid that Liu Yingnian would say "I'm sorry" to him again now. Once Liu Yingnian made up his mind, it would be very troublesome to change it.

Liu Yingnian was still too soft-hearted.

That's fine, as long as Liu Yingnian doesn't choose Shuang resolutely now, then he will be safe.

Liu Yingnian held Li Xianghua in his arms and sighed. Now that things have happened, it's always wrong for him to do anything about this kind of thing. To choose or not to choose, to refuse or not to refuse, what difference does it really make?Does what he thinks really matter?Will anyone really listen to him?

He has never been so embarrassed in his life. He is on two boats. A man should be happy, right?

Look at him, he's charming. If you're not happy like this, others will just say he's hypocritical.

But he was not happy, not at all.

If it's not that the time is wrong, as long as he thinks that there will be at most another month, whether it is Li Xianghua or Shuang, they may be gone forever, and they will never appear again. No matter how cruel he is, he will not be able to say anything.

As long as Li Xianghua doesn't have a brain twitch, and don't lie to him like in the previous life, he will follow him again and again, he still has this bit of goodwill.

Li Xianghua is not the only one who wants to settle the accounts together after everything is settled.
