grey alley

The old-fashioned wall clock on the wall was ticking, and the movement was obviously very small, but it always seemed to be infinitely magnified in his ears.

The wait is always long.

He was the only one in the hall. Pei Xiqing said he would come back tonight, but it was already twelve o'clock.

All the dialed numbers were unreachable, indicating that the other party had turned off the phone.

He was no longer in the mood to deal with work matters, and he was no longer sleepy. He held his phone and watched the popularity of that topic drop little by little, thinking that the other party might not have seen this post at all. What about the news?

It was very disturbing, he hadn't been in such a state of being unable to concentrate and his mind was in a mess for a long, long time.

The housekeeper got up at night and saw that the lights in the hall were still on, and advised him to go to bed, after all, he had to go to work the next day.

Lu Mingzhou shook his head and stayed in the living room. Seeing that the housekeeper couldn't persuade him, he went back to sleep. Lu Mingzhou waited like this until nearly three o'clock in the middle of the night, when the door lock suddenly clicked, and the person he had been waiting for came back.

Pei Xiqing came in from the outside in black clothes and trousers. Seeing that he hadn't said anything in the hall, he took off the mask on his face and changed his shoes at the door, so he walked over unhurriedly and sat in his seat on the legs.

"Uncle," Pei Xiqing rubbed his face with his fingertips, with a rare carelessness: "Why don't we just forget about it."

After he finished speaking, Lu Mingzhou heard the ticking of the pendulum, which seemed to be more obvious than when he was waiting.

He turned his stiff neck, not quite understanding: "Why?"

Because of Lu Guanqing?Or is it because of Tao Baiyang, or because of the hot search last night?

The person who was clearly in his arms the night before and acted like a baby, now told him to forget it.

"Is it because Uncle didn't do well enough?" Lu Mingzhou put his arms around Pei Xiqing's waist, and said softly, "You can tell Uncle, I'll fix it, okay? What happened last night was a misunderstanding. I came back late because the car broke down. Yes, the reason why such photos are released is because I met someone I knew before and took a ride with him..."

"No, it has nothing to do with that." Pei Xiqing looked at him, "Uncle, I really prepared a gift for you, even though I was hesitant about whether this gift is really suitable for you."

"Then I was thinking, it depends on when you come back, if you come back early, I will give it to you, we still maintain the current relationship, even if the future between us is not fixed, then I won't take the initiative to end it." Pei Xiqing touched his face, "But if you come back too late and miss the best time to receive the gift, then I won't give it to you, and End this relationship with you."

"Unfortunately, uncle, you are now the latter. This decision has nothing to do with anyone or anything. It is simply the ending that I had already thought about when I promised to be with you."

No one had ever issued such an application to him before, and he felt it was very novel, so on that day, when Lu Mingzhou hugged him against the fence, he suddenly nodded and agreed to this relationship.

"Sorry, uncle, I shouldn't have promised you that day on the wind platform," he kissed the corner of Lu Mingzhou's lips, "I'm sorry, but I don't love you, and I can't delay your life like this."

The lights were cold and silent, and the pendulum was still shaking, making an annoying sound. Lu Mingzhou's eyes moved, "Can I ask, what is the gift you planned to give me?"

"It's a plain ring."

Lu Mingzhou's throat was tight, and a sense of cold absurdity rose in vain, "Then..." His lips parted, "If I had come back early last night, would that ring have already arrived in my possession? Got it."

Pei Xiqing didn't answer, but Lu Mingzhou already knew the answer.

Even if Pei Xiqing doesn't love him, but this ring will still be given to him, and he will make a promise with the ring that after giving it away, he will not leave voluntarily, continue to maintain that illusion, stay by his side, and live with him forever , until the moment when the illusion collapsed and he couldn't stand such a result, he took the initiative to break up with Pei Xiqing.

If his car hadn't broken down, and if he could have come back sooner, the current Pei Xiqing would still be tender with him, instead of choosing to break this fragile illusion, point out the weak foundation in this relationship, and propose an end to him. .

After all, from the beginning to the end, from nurturing to lover, the one who maintains this relationship, the one-sided demand party, has always been only him.

Maybe it's God's will to reach this point now, or from the moment he was tempted, they were no longer suitable to be together.

"I like you very much, Uncle, but it has nothing to do with love." There are so many things in this emotion that even Pei Xiqing can't figure it out, but he knows that he can't live forever with this kind of appearance alone. Accompanied by Lu Mingzhou's side.

Pei Xiqing can't respond to others, and can only passively accept many feelings.As far as he himself was concerned, the feelings he had bet on Lu Mingzhou in the past two years were already the most that he could give him, the most response he could give.

He could be a homeless stray cat adopted by Lu Mingzhou, or an abandoned child who was taken home by Lu Mingzhou's hand, or he could be an obedient and well-behaved contract lover who passively accepted the treatment given by Lu Mingzhou, but he It just couldn't be Lu Mingzhou's long-term lover.

Lu Mingzhou is very good, but he can't respond to this kind of kindness, then the best way for the two of them should be to separate.

If there is no opportunity for this birthday, there will be a next time, next time, and next time.

They won't go very far after all.

"Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain," Pei Xiqing hugged Lu Mingzhou's neck, "Uncle, thank you."

Lu Mingzhou stared at the wall behind him in a daze, listening to Pei Xiqing spit out a sentence of confession, as if he heard a sharp and long whistle announcing that this inappropriate relationship had finally come to an end, and he was defeated in it again. How embarrassing and thorough it is.

"No, you...can you..." Lu Mingzhou raised his hand and put it down again, the words to stay stuck in his throat, because he saw Pei Xiqing's eyes.

After living together for so long, he suddenly realized that he had seen too many emotions in these eyes, attachment, admiration, and unreserved intimacy and trust, but he had never seen a trace of love in these eyes. love.Is it because he is too complacent about his own charm, or is he ignoring the illusion that Pei Xiqing usually gets along with.

A thought came to him in a trance, as if after so many forks in the road, he finally had the opportunity to clear the clouds and mists at this moment, and gradually see the truth hidden behind. Many cold illusions that I thought were classified as floating on the surface turned out to be some deeply hidden realities.

That was Pei Xiqing's unshakable emptiness and coldness like solid ice, which was his true nature.

The father he never mentioned, the mother he didn't want to think about, he didn't mention a word about his family, even the Pei family, who had been there for five full years, left as soon as they said they had left, as if they had never had any ties to him , all are pure strangers.

He doesn't look like he loves anyone.

And he's not an exception, and he doesn't love him either.

It was probably due to the instant change of situation and mentality, Lu Mingzhou suddenly understood the sadness that no matter how Pei Jiajun tried to keep Pei Xiqing, the other party was still unmoved.

Because if this matter is to be done, it is really... very difficult.

Recently, rumors have been going viral among friends that Lu Guanqing was blocked in the park in the middle of the night and cut off his basket because he messed with other people's girlfriends. He is currently lying in the hospital receiving treatment.As for the basket, he will definitely not be able to take it back, because he was found in the park after he lost blood and passed out for a long time.

His thing was hooked on a section of the patch, and the whole thing was cut off, even half of the egg was missing. The scene was bloody, and the old man who took a shortcut and wanted to go home early was almost frightened and fainted on the spot.

Lin Mizhi had heard about what he did to Sister Xuelan a long time ago. Although he felt that this man really deserved retribution and wanted to break up with him, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and went to the hospital to see Lu Guanqing.

When the person on the bed woke up, his face was blue and white, his eyes were slightly protruding, and he was staring at the white ceiling, without saying a word.

It seemed that the rumors were true. Lin Mizhi stood at the door evaluating, not knowing whether to go in or not.

"What are you doing standing there?" Lu Guanqing's eyes slowly moved from the ceiling to him, and suddenly he gave a strange smile, "Come in, didn't you come to see me? How about it, you should be satisfied now that you see it?"

Although Lin Mizhi wanted to break up with him, he still felt that Lu Guanqing's eccentricity was really irritating, and regardless of whether the other party was injured or not, he taunted him directly, "Don't speak in such a tone, lest you talk to a Like a eunuch," he took a step back, "I didn't know you were this kind of person before, and coming to see you made me feel bad."

Lu Guanqing squinted at him, the word eunuch stimulated his nerves, and the expression on his face was a bit horrified, "What did you say?"

Lin Mizhi hesitated, feeling that he was like the deepest hidden ghost boss in the West Factory, so he slowed down his voice, looking flexible, "I mean...those people are too cheap, obviously you are the one who was cuckolded , Why didn't they go to deal with that woman wearing a cuckold and came to deal with you, isn't this an accidental injury..."

"You fucking say one more thing..." Lu Guanqing was excited, but before he could move, he suddenly yelled, "Ah-I...I..." The wound was pulled.

Lin Mizhi said Tong Wuji, "What's wrong with your basket? Is it, your basket, what's wrong with your basket?"

Lu Guanqing was about to explode with his deliberate words of fire, and shouted while distorting his face in pain: "Get out, get out—"

Lin Mizhi left happily.

Later, people from the Lu family asked someone to check in the park, but nothing was found. The nearby street lights were all dark, and you needed to use a flashlight to walk, and there were not many surveillance cameras nearby, so they couldn't find anything useful. On the contrary, from Lu Guanqing's wound assessment, he learned that he stepped on the edge of the flower bed and fell, because of a posture problem, the thing was hooked by the concave iron piece, It was completely cut off by sticking to the hip bone and clamping the buttocks.

This is probably God's will.

Don't go to the park, there are night raids,

Young man, full of courage;

There are iron sheets on the clinker floor,

Raise the shovel, without paying attention;

The upper body soars into the air and does not touch the ground,

Hey, woo, woo hoo, sad to lose the chicken.

laugh.
