across winter

The kelp soup took a lot of time. Lu Mingqing cleaned it carefully in the kitchen, and was even a little thankful that he listed the kelp when he ordered the ingredients.

He has also always enjoyed seaweed soup.

It was a hot day, Lu Mingqing was sweating in the kitchen, the sky outside was not as gloomy as yesterday, the dark clouds were pushed away, revealing the half-covered sun.

With a "stab—" Xu Sihang pursed his lips. As expected, the rope on his left wrist was frayed by him. He moved his wrist a little bit sore, but the movement was fine.

Not long after Lu Mingqing went to the kitchen, there was no movement outside. It's not that Xu Sihang hasn't made seaweed soup, and it takes a lot of effort just to clean it.

He directly lifted the quilt in front of him and untied his right hand. It didn't take much time, and the knot was not a dead knot.

Xu Sihang heaved a sigh of relief after breaking free with both hands. He moved his joints and started to connect the rope on his feet again. His hands were still a little sore, after all, he had been tied for so long.

But if you don't untie yourself now, I'm afraid it will be too late, Xu Sihang seized the time to untie the rope on his feet.Lu Mingqing really had no experience in kidnapping, and the skill of tying the rope was not even as good as that of Captain Si when he was playing house when he was a child.

He got off the bed lightly and covered the quilt as he did when he was sleeping.Xu Sihang stood in front of the window, flexing his ankle joints, looking at the scenery outside the window. Lu Mingqing placed his room in the shade. Even when the sun came out, this room was still the coolest, and he didn't even need to turn on the air conditioner.

In addition, it rained heavily yesterday, and he also got caught in the rain, so he was always covered with an air-conditioning quilt.Lu Mingqing used a spoon to feed him the food. Xu Sihang squinted his eyes and looked at the small yard outside the window. It was very beautiful, but it was a loquat tree planted beside the cobblestone path with winding paths. Ye Mao.

Xu Sihang looked at the tree, but suddenly remembered a classical Chinese saying: There is a loquat tree in the garden, which was planted by my wife when she died, and now it is as graceful as a canopy.

When he turned around, his foot bumped into something. The bed was placed by the window, half a meter away from the window. Now Xu Sihang was standing within half a meter, and when he turned around, it was the person he had been lying on. The bed is cramped, so bumping into things is not surprising.

The strange thing is that when Xu Sihang bent down to look, he found that there was a hole under the bed, and there was a big camphor wood box. Xu Sihang reached out and touched it, and it was unexpectedly clean, without even a trace of dust.

But this box was locked?Xu Sihang frowned, and the commotion outside the door became louder. He guessed that Lu Mingqing was coming soon, so he rolled over from the bed to the other side, only to notice that there was a string of hemp ropes at the back of the room, which should be used by Lu Mingqing to tie His, Xu Sihang had a thought, took the rope and hid behind the door before Lu Mingqing arrived.

The soup was cooked in a casserole, so it was not easy to bring it over. He turned on a small fire and simmered it slowly. First, he put a bowl of soup in a small porcelain bowl and brought it over. drink, he will add some other condiments.

The soup that had just been served was very hot, Lu Mingqing used a cloth to cushion it, and carefully carried it.Walking to Xu Sihang's door, he unlocked it first, then pushed the door open and entered.

Xu Sihang was thoughtful, and had already covered the quilt tightly. At first glance, Lu Mingqing thought Xu Sihang was on the bed, but when he entered the room, he found that the quilt was flat. If Xu Sihang was inside, it would definitely bulge up.

He was surprised, but he couldn't match Xu Sihang's speed. Before he could react, Xu Sihang took the lead in grabbing his neck with his hands. Lu Mingqing was startled, his pupils constricted, and the porcelain bowl in his hand fell down. Porcelain pieces were broken everywhere in an instant.

Xu Sihang stared at Lu Mingqing, knowing that being soft-hearted at this time would only lead to a failure, so he restrained Lu Mingqing's hands behind his back, and forced him to kneel in front of the bed.

Then he fiddled with his feet from under the bed to get the rope that he had just prepared before he came, and tied his hands back and forth five times, the knot was tied by Xu Siwei himself.

Lu Mingqing watched Xu Sihang move expressionlessly, "I never thought you would be able to break free."

"I never thought that you would imprison me here." Xu Sihang sneered, "Since you have imprisoned me, you should know that I am not such an easy-to-confine person."

Lu Mingqing was silent.

"You are so smart, you know what crime is illegal imprisonment, right? What exactly do you want to do?" Xu Sihang tied up Lu Mingqing and let him lean halfway on the bed. With his own lessons learned, he even tied his legs this time dead.

But he didn't understand what Lu Mingqing was going to do.

He looked deeply at Xu Sihang, "You really don't know what I want to do?"

Xu Sihang shook his head.

"I just want to keep you by my side."

"Lu Mingqing, everything has a cause and effect. I haven't been in touch with you since college. Is it unreasonable for you to like me?" Xu Sihang didn't understand. He didn't understand how a person who hadn't seen him for so many years suddenly treated him During this time, I became interested and had feelings for him, "If it's because you want to deal with Zhou Zhining, then there's no need for it."

"What's so good about you being with him?" Lu Mingqing became angry when Xu Sihang mentioned Zhou Zhining. He struggled on the bed, trying to get out of the shackles, "Aren't you better than him when you are with me?! He What can I not give you?"

Lu Mingqing almost roared out these words, but Xu Sihang remained indifferent, pulled a chair over, crossed Erlang's legs and gave him a sideways glance, "He is my young lover, with a relationship of more than ten years, no one can separate us."

Hearing Xu Sihang's words, Lu Mingqing stopped struggling and stared out the window in a daze, tears falling down without warning.

Xu Sihang said softly "Huh?", paid attention to Lu Mingqing's expression, followed his gaze to look forward, and saw the loquat tree he had seen at that time.

Xu Sihang felt that Lu Mingqing had a problem.

But he laughed again in the next second, "What kind of bullshit young lover?!" He said "bah", "Then go and look at the table behind, look at the photo on that table, see Let's see your Zhou Zhining!" He laughed more ferociously, making Xu Sihang puzzled and disgusted.

He got up from the chair, listened to Lu Mingqing's words and walked to the table. There were indeed several photos scattered on it.

Xu Sihang looked at them one by one, his heart suddenly fell into the ice cave, and the person on it was Zhou Zhining.

The photo was taken extremely skillfully, the black umbrella covered half of Zhou Zhining's face, he was standing under the steps and handed an umbrella to the woman on the steps.

And that woman is Tong Yasong, a woman Xu Sihang once couldn't sleep in. He frowned more and more deeply, and the intimacy shown in the photos was more serious than the other, recording a series of their actions, Including getting in the car.

Xu Sihang actually snorted when he saw the end, and returned to the chair while fiddled with a stack of photos, "It's fake." He looked at Lu Mingqing firmly, with firm eyes, "This is fake."

At this moment, the sound of a car's engine came from outside the door, and then, the door was smashed directly, and Lu Mingqing looked out the door blankly.Xu Sihang shrugged and smiled at him, "Do you know what it means to be firmly chosen?"

He pointed out the door, "This is it."

The photo in his hand was torn into pieces and scattered into the air, "Zhou Zhining is here to pick up Xu Sihang."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Zhining kicked open the door directly, and looked at the bed first, but was stunned when he saw Lu Mingqing, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pulled his neckline straight up, staring straight at him. stared at him, then threw it back on the bed again.

"Zhi Ning." Xu Sihang had only breathed a sigh of relief until now, looking at Zhou Zhi Ning, he poured out his grievances, hugged Zhou Zhi Ning and curled his mouth, tears fell on Zhou Zhi Ning's shoulder.

Zhou Zhining patted him on the back lightly, coaxing him, "It's okay, I'm here to pick you up, as long as you're okay."

The two of them hugged each other, completely forgetting who came behind them. Fortunately, Shu Yao had quick eyesight and quick hands, and closed the door first, so that the police officers behind did not see such a scene. She placed the search warrant next to Lu Mingqing, feeling very heartbroken. .

When she first met him, the person she was still fascinated by now... She just felt bitter in her mouth, and she didn't want to look at Lu Mingqing.

"Thank you." Zhou Zhining bowed to Lu Mingqing, the eyes he looked at Lu Mingqing were not as sharp as before, but serious. "Without you, I'm afraid Sihang wouldn't be able to stand here so safe and sound."

Lu Mingqing gave a "hmm" and agreed.

"But you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't have tied Sihang here. Xu Sihang is not your personal property, Lu Mingqing." His voice was full of uncontrollable anger, which made Lu Mingqing feel dazed, why was he still sincere just now? People who thank you can complain so much in a blink of an eye.

"Do you fucking know how worried we are?!" Zhou Zhining was held back by Xu Sihang, otherwise Xu Sihang even thought he could punch Lu Mingqing.

Lu Mingqing was silent, looking at Zhou Zhining and Xu Sihang's eyes, he was very calm now, "I know."

Zhou Zhining was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Since you fucking know, even a phone call to let us know he's safe is fine! Fuck it!"

"Zhi Ning!"

Captain Si, who came late, grabbed Zhi Ning and pulled Zhi Ning aside, "If you injure someone now, I'm afraid you will pay yourself back." He tried to dissuade Zhou Zhi Ning.

"Yes." Xu Sihang shook his head, "Zhi Ning, he didn't hurt me, he didn't do anything to me."

"really?"

"really."

Zhou Zhining was silent for a moment, "Si Hang, I will take you home."
