unspeakable ice

The air stream rolled by for a while, and the room was silent again. The breath that rang in Yu Xiaolong's ears was full of heat, and there was a slight sound of breath surging. mist.

"Xia Yi's leg... was that time?"

"That day I felt like I had climbed for a long time, but in fact it was less than five meters." Xia Cong let go of him, and his voice was much clearer than before, "I was rescued by a passerby, and I woke up again in the hospital , Xia Yi slept next to me."

"He was covered with a snow-white quilt, and he slept peacefully. At that time, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He was tall and thin. Because of this, I didn't see anything in the first few days. Later, because the skin edge of the wound was severely necrotic, I didn’t know that it was necessary to re-excise it. At that time, his blood vessel and muscle damage was so serious that it could not be repaired, and one leg was gone.”

"Did Guo Feiyan do it?" Yu Xiaolong asked.

"There is no evidence." Xia Cong sat up, walked to the bar, and opened a bottle of wine, "Back then, probes were not as popular as they are now, and the person who caused the accident fled. There were no witnesses at the scene. The police investigated for a while, but nothing came out. My grandfather Unwilling to give up, I specifically sought out foreign trace identification experts, they had visited the scene, and based on the driving trajectory and road damage at that time, they speculated that there was a high probability that it was man-made, but the possibility of drunk driving was not ruled out, so there was still no conclusion." Xia Cong He stopped here and handed him a glass of wine, "Why Guo Feiyan, don't you suspect Xia Zhoufu, or the two of them together?"

Yu Xiaolong wanted to say that a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, but he also knew that it might not be true in Xia Cong's situation. He guessed that Guo Feiyan was there because Xia Yi was there. consider.

Looking at the cup handed to him, Yu Xiaolong stretched out his hand to take it, Xia Cong seemed to think of something suddenly, turned a corner and took it back, this time it was like teasing him, before Yu Xiaolong could do anything, he himself Laughed first.

Xia Cong turned on the bedside lamp, and finally there was light in the room. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the high-rise buildings outside. , he has been weak and incompetent for half his life, unable to make such a decision."

"Although he can't take on the big responsibility, he is my grandfather's only child after all. Xingming will be handed over to him one day sooner or later. Guo Feiyan is a woman who is ambitious and capable. My grandfather must be on guard against her, so As soon as Xia Yi and I became adults, he gave us a part of Xingming's shares. On this point, he treated everyone equally. Xia Yi and I got the same share. After Xia Yi graduated from university, he tried his best to support him in Xingming. Mingli stands firm."

"Does Guo Feiyan have any children?"

"Yes, one son and one daughter, so she is very dissatisfied."

"She has a radical style of work. My grandfather tends to be conservative, but she does have this ability and is good at winning people's hearts. She has been rooted in the past ten years, and she has a lot of influence in Xingming. One hair can affect the whole body. My grandfather is old. Well, I have survived on my own until now, and my body loss has become more and more serious in the past few years, last time he was seriously ill, do you know what he said to me and Xia Yi?"

"He said he couldn't leave yet, because of the current situation, there is no way to protect us both."

When Yu Xiaolong heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold. Xia Cong said it was a family scandal, but it was far from being as simple as a family scandal. When he thought of Xia Yi's empty leg, his hairs stood on end.

Xia Cong suddenly laughed at this time, "I'm thinking wildly again? In a society ruled by law, is it so easy to kill a person? If she could do it earlier, why wait until now."

He swept away the previous gloom, his eyes flashed jokingly, "It seems that Brother Xiaolong is very worried about me."

Yu Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, it was difficult to see the seriousness in his expression. The person who spoke softly and pitifully showed weakness to him and sought comfort seemed to be just his illusion for a second.

He thought that it was because he was always so capricious that he was tricked around like a fool, and he was a little annoyed.

He began to wonder if Xia Cong said so much earlier to cover up another fact that he didn't want to confess, so he picked up the words again, "What about Gu, what do you say these have to do with him?"

"He." Xia Cong leaned against the curtain wall, turned around and took a sip of his wine, "His grandfather is an old friend of my grandfather, and now his father still has a seat on Xingming's board of directors. We have known each other since we were young, and I really liked him."

"Have you been together?" Yu Xiaolong's heart ached, he liked these two words, at least Xia Cong never told him, nor admitted it in front of anyone.

"After graduating from high school, we've been together for two years. We split up before coming here. That pair of rings was indeed given to me by him. I wear them all the time. Do you remember last year when I took you to dinner and someone followed us when we came back?" ?"

"" Yu Xiaolong didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to this place again. He recalled the scene at that time, those people followed very covertly, and it might not be obvious to someone else.

"Very professional, isn't it?" Xia Cong said, "That's not your kind of guy, he was sent by Guo Feiyan."

"She's been following you?"

"Yeah, she's afraid of me." Xia Cong smiled.

He sat down and touched Yu Xiaolong's forehead, and it turned out that his hands were sweaty, and he could not help but blame softly, "Why don't you say it's hot."

He knew that Yu Xiaolong was always afraid of the heat, and now the room was stuffy, so Xia Cong went to turn on the air conditioner, and poured him a glass of ice water when he came back.

"Gu unexpectedly, this person looks warm and cold on the outside, and looks like he is indifferent to the world. In fact, he is very possessive in his heart. He doesn't like that I pay too much attention to Xia Yi, and he doesn't like that I put too much attention on Xia Yi. Xia Yi is the first."

"I don't know when the Gu family fell to Guo Feiyan's side, but he knew that he didn't tell me that Xia Yi was treated badly by them that time. My grandfather almost couldn't keep him. He was not in good health. I was injured to the root of my bones, and I lay in the hospital for a long time."

Xia Cong spun his fingers along the rim of the cup, and tapped the glass with his fingertips, making a slight sound, "I can tolerate his usual temper tantrum with me, it's just fun, but if it touches the bottom line, Playing tricks on matters of principle, do you think I will forgive him?"

"Then why are you still wearing it?" Yu Xiaolong couldn't figure it out, was it because he still had feelings?

"Why do you say?" Xia Cong raised his eyelids slightly, looked at him and asked back.

Yu Xiaolong thought about what he said just now, Guo Feiyan sent someone to follow him, and he knew all along, "You deliberately misunderstood him."

"I'm still willing to hang him like this. He should feel honored. It shows that he is still useful to me. It's just a pity."

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you lost it." He said it was a pity, but he couldn't hear any regrets, "He came here deliberately to provoke you this time, and it may not be all bad things now."

"At least it proves one thing. Even without the ring, he still believes in it now, and thinks how old I am with him." He shook his head, with an imperceptible sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "On the contrary, I didn't expect that, The more I treat you differently, the more he will believe that this is not good for people who are too high-spirited, and they must try their best to lower themselves."

"What do you want to do to him?" Yu Xiaolong looked at him with complicated eyes.

He is not Xia Cong, he can't empathize with Xia Yi's guilt over the years, and he can't know what it's like to be betrayed by someone he likes, so he has no right to judge whether he is right or wrong.

He had evaluated this person as unfathomable, but when Xia Cong really showed him such a scheming side, he still had a chilling feeling. He thought of himself, how could He De be that exception Woolen cloth.

"It's better that you don't know what I'll do to him." Xia Cong stroked his sweaty forehead, turned over, and sprinkled a gentle alcohol-scented breath on his face, "How about it? Is the explanation clear?"

Yu Xiaolong tilted his head when he said don't come over, "Then will you use me?"

Xia Cong stopped, "Is there anything you can use for me?"

"If there is?" Yu Xiaolong asked: "The more special you are to me, the more you believe in me, doesn't it count?"

"It doesn't matter, I said I didn't expect it." Xia Cong seemed a little unhappy, he slid his hand from the back of Yu Xiaolong's head, and squeezed his neck as a warning, "I don't like such meaningless things. Suppose."

"But you don't have to lie to me, do you?"

Yu Xiaolong looked straight into his eyes, "You don't have to tell me that he is dead, accident, three years ago, after you did that to me... put pressure on me, use my psychology, isn't that counted?" ?”

"Remember so clearly." Xia Cong smiled, but the smile didn't enter his eyes, and he looked at him, "Then back to the question just now, you are only with me because you are ashamed of that ring." together?"

"..."

"answer me."

Yu Xiaolong couldn't answer.

Xia Cong was very satisfied with his silence at this moment, he pushed the man down and bit his flesh hard, "I admit, I played some tricks on you, you are too hard to chase, and I have exhausted all my skills and skills." patience."

He leaned against Yu Xiaolong and sucked, pried open his pure teeth with the tip of his tongue, and gave him the coldness of his mouth, "But I still want to kiss you so much."

Song Ye woke up from the big bed in the hotel in the morning, and the first time he looked at his phone, Dai Ze didn't send him a message, but he, Brother Cong, sent him several messages in the middle of the night, all of which were screenshots. The content is roughly:

[In the love etiquette of adults, no quick promise is rejection. 】

[A good relationship never needs to expend energy trying to guess whether he likes you or not. 】

[Before the other party clearly said "I like you, please be my boyfriend", I always treat the other party as my friend, and never try to guess or spy on the other party's mind, so that I will not get hurt, The state of mind is also very stable. 】

……

What the hell...day.

This early in the morning, who did he provoke.

After Yu Xiaolong went back, he first searched through the pile of things he brought over, but failed to find them, then went back to the Western-style building, and found the sample of the painting at that time in the drawer of the desk.

Things that I haven’t personally tried seem to be simple, but they are difficult to operate in practice. Either the holes are not drilled to a suitable size, or the strength of the sandpaper is not correct, resulting in uneven edges and roughness visible to the naked eye.

The purple sandalwood he chose is darker in color and doesn't look so obtrusive, but it is often stained with black hands when grinding. Xia Cong raised doubts more than once, asking him what he has been doing recently, and what kind of dirty work has to be done like this.

Yu Xiaolong's cold personality is doomed to be a person with no interest. Even when giving gifts, not only does he not know how to choose a special day, he even saves the packaging, and directly taps Xia Cong on the shoulder when he washes his face. .

Xia Cong was obviously stunned when he saw the wooden ring he handed over.

Yu Xiaolong stuffed something into his hand, turned around and was about to go out.

"Is there only one?" Xia Cong asked behind him.

"Hmm." He only made one.

He didn't know if Xia Cong would like to have a pair with him, and it was something obvious like a ring, he didn't want to make a presumptuous claim.

His idea is very simple, since the one he lost before is not so special to Xia Cong that it is irreplaceable, then he should pay him one. It shouldn't be expensive either.

Xia Cong seemed to want to say something, Yu Xiaolong looked at him, but he didn't say anything in the end, smiled and said he accepted it.

This day until before going to bed, Yu Xiaolong felt that Xia Cong was more silent than usual. When he was packing the clothes he brought back from the mansion, he saw him put the ring in a flannel box in the closet, and he never saw him wearing it after that. Pass.
