Ling Che had no intention of reminiscing with him. He grabbed Qin Chao by the collar and lifted him up to the wall.

His back was pushed hard against the hard wall, and Qin Chao looked at him with a smile on his face.

The man tilted his head and smiled wickedly, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Chao shrugged and spread his hands, "Brother Che, you misunderstood me. I didn't know she was your ex-wife."

As soon as the word "ex-wife" came out of his mouth, the grip on his collar tightened a little.

"You'd better not have any ideas about her." Ling Che's eyes were bloodthirsty and cold. "Otherwise, I can't guarantee how you will die."

Hearing him say this, the smile on Qin Chao's face gradually turned cold, "After so many years, you are still so cruel."

Ling Che sneered, threw him to the ground, took off his coat and threw it aside.

He straightened his shirt cuffs and looked down at her. "After so many years, let me see if you've improved."

The boy got up from the ground, smiled, and the next second his eyes flashed with a fierce look as he quickly punched the man.

The extremely fast punch brought up a gust of wind.

Just as the fist was about to hit the man's cheek, the man raised his hand to block it even faster, and then the punch hit the boy's abdomen so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.

Qin Chao took a few steps back and heard the man say frivolously, "Too slow."

The disdain in the man's tone aroused Qin Chao's desire to win.

A flame ignited in his eyes and he gathered his strength to attack again.

After two rounds, the man beat her back.

If I was evenly matched with the man at the alley entrance at the beginning, I have always been passive in front of this man.

"too weak."

The man taunted without mercy.

This sentence completely ignited Qin Chao's anger. He looked at the man's calm and indifferent face, and a burning murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

He attacked again, his moves becoming more brutal, targeting the man's fatal weaknesses.

When the man blocked all his blows with ease, he punched him back mercilessly.

Just when Qin Chao was forced to retreat again, his eyes suddenly became fierce and he pulled out a sharp bayonet.

The light coming from the alley entrance made the white blade shine coldly.

Just as his punch was hooked back by the man, the bayonet in his other hand stabbed the man's neck without hesitation -

The man opposite smiled.

He turned around swiftly, grabbed the knife with his backhand, and suppressed it fiercely.

Before Qin Chao's bayonet could get close to the opponent, he was severely pressed down and his hands were pressed against the cold wall.

Then a bayonet stabbed fiercely at his right eye.

His eyes suddenly widened.

The sharp tip of the knife stopped a few centimeters away from his right eye.

He heard the man chuckle disdainfully.

Ling Che always had that beautiful smile on his lips, but his smile was filled with sarcasm and cruelty.

"I've been away from Country Y for several years, and you haven't made any progress at all."

He let go of Qin Chao, spun the bayonet around his fingertips and threw it at the other's feet.

A few years passed, and he still couldn't catch up with him.

Qin Chao looked at the bayonet at his feet and smiled, "Brother Che, you taught me how to do this. I admit that I can't beat you."

The man let out a short, cold laugh from his chest and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Qin Chao looked at his back as he was about to leave, and put away the smile on his face. "Seeing you again, is this how you greet me?"

The man in front paused, his tall figure standing in the light at the alley entrance without looking back. "Qin Chao, I told you, we are not on the same path."

Qin Chao's lips curled up into a smile as he stood up from the ground. "Do you think you're clean just because you're standing in the light?"

"I never said I was a good person." Ling Che scoffed, "But I won't be like you, forever stuck in the endless abyss."

......

In the apartment, warm yellow lights were on.

After taking a shower, Qiao Ruyi sat on the sofa, wiping her wet hair intermittently.

My mind was filled with the man's red-eyed face under the fireworks.

After not seeing him for a few days, she also noticed the difference in the man.

He looked a little haggard, and the dark circles under his eyes were immediately noticed by her under the light.

Those eyes that looked down upon everything also looked much softer, even a little dim.

Qiao Ruyi sat on the sofa and sighed.

What is there for her to feel sorry for?

I turned my head to look at the darkness outside the window, but the first thing I saw was my own eyes reflected in the glass.

Those eyes are bright and beautiful, the eyes are big, and the folds of the double eyelids are very deep.

But my eyes have lost a lot of light and color.

She seemed to really not know how to be happy.

It was undeniable that Ling Che's appearance caused ripples in her calm heart.

Maybe it's hatred, maybe it's blame, maybe it's unwillingness.

In short, his appearance disturbed her peace.

It is said that time is the antidote that can heal everything. Qiao Ruyi didn't know how long it would take for her to completely treat Ling Che as a stranger, a stranger that she would not love or hate when they met again, and she would not even have any crazy thoughts because of a glance from him.

She was about to get up to blow dry her hair and go to bed when footsteps suddenly sounded at the door.

This apartment was rented by Qiao Ruyi. It has one bedroom and one living room and she rented it for a month.

The house is not small, with good lighting and a decent layout, but the sound insulation is not very good, and the sound of people walking at the door can be clearly heard inside the house.

Just like now, the footsteps at the door seemed to be hesitating.

Qiao Ruyi thought that it might be the Japanese girl next door who came to borrow water again.

Living next door to her was a Japanese girl in her early twenties named Matsuko, who was here for tourism.

Last night I shyly knocked on her door and said that the water supply at home had been cut off and I wanted to borrow some water.

She thought that maybe he came to borrow water again today but was too embarrassed to knock on the door, so she got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, before she could say anything, she felt a familiar, refreshing breath accompanied by a hint of mint.

She was startled and saw a tall and straight figure.

The man was standing in the corridor, cigarette in hand, looking at her, as if he had not expected her to open the door.

Without saying a word, Qiao Ruyi subconsciously closed the door, fanning a gust of wind to disperse the smoke in the man's hand.

Ling Che smiled and didn't knock on the door.

He had originally intended to just stay at the door and make sure she was safe.

It was an unexpected surprise to see her open the door and meet her.

Inside the house, Qiao Ruyi stood by the door.

Just as I was about to pretend I didn't see anything and go back to my room, the man's clothes suddenly flashed through my mind - the black coat he had originally worn was gone, and he was only wearing a shirt of the same color.

This apartment has no heating, but there is air conditioning inside so it doesn't feel cold. However, the corridor may not be the same.

Qiao Ruyi thought that he deserved to be frozen to death, but her hands involuntarily opened the door again.

The second time the door opened, it was an even bigger surprise for the man.

He looked at the half body that came out of the door, and there was an unstoppable smile in his deep eyes.

He put out the cigarette in his hand and asked with a smile, "Do you miss me?"
