After leaving Xinning City and taking the expressway, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the vision became worse and worse.

"Brother Xun, it's raining too much. The service area is in front of us. Let's park the car in the service area and wait until the rain subsides before leaving." Lin Zhile looked carefully at the road conditions.

"En." Zhou Xun turned on the turn signal according to the navigation, drove the car into the service area, and parked in the parking lot.

The rain that has been accumulated for a long time is now pouring down from the sky with all its strength. The dark sky and the rain curtain are pressing on the top of the head, making it suffocating.

"It's raining so much, did you drive in this weather last night?" Zhou Xun parked the car and turned to ask Lin Zhile.

"Without brother Xun, I'm not a child anymore. I didn't get so big last night, and I can still run at high speed." Lin Zhile said.

"Get out of the car, it's noon, let's go to the service area and have something to eat." Zhou Xun took out a folding umbrella from his bag, opened the door and got out of the car.

Lin Zhile was in a daze. In the past, whenever it was raining, he would pick up Zhou Xun. After a long time, Zhou Xun developed the habit of not bringing an umbrella.

These inadvertent details are reminding Lin Zhile that the five years between the two of them, no matter how he wants to mend it, it really exists.

Zhou Xun waited outside for a while, seeing that Lin Zhile was still in the car, he went to the side of the co-pilot and knocked on the window, "What are you doing in the car? Why don't you come down?"

Lin Zhile recovered, put down the umbrella in her hand, opened the car door and got under Zhou Xun's umbrella.He was taller than Zhou Xun, so he took the umbrella handle from Zhou Xun's hand.

The rain was blown obliquely by the wind, pouring rain on the two of them from one side of the umbrella, Lin Zhile tilted the umbrella to block the rain on the other side of Zhou Xun.

Maybe it was because of the heavy rain, there were not many people traveling, and there were not many people in the restaurant in the service area, only a few scattered people, probably like them, were hiding from the rain.

"What do Brother Xun want to eat?" Lin Zhile looked at the small supermarket in the service area, and there were a few small stalls that sold a complete range of items.

"There is a shop selling Roujiamo over there, just eat a Roujiamo." Zhou Xun pointed to the innermost place.

"Okay, brother Xun, wait for me for a while, there are a few dining tables over there, go sit there and wait for me."

After Lin Zhile finished speaking, he went straight to the stall selling Roujiamo, and bought two Roujiamo, two cups of hot soy milk, and a few marinated eggs, all warm.

When he went to find Zhou Xun with food, he found that there was no one on the table, it was empty.

He hurriedly raised his feet to look around, and saw Zhou Xun smoking in the smoking area in the corner.

Seeing someone, the panic in Lin Zhile's heart slowly faded away. He put the food on the dining table, and then went to the smoking area.

Zhou Xun was facing the window, watching the pouring rain outside.

The hazy rain and fog overlapped with the smog, confusing the world and time, making him in a trance for a while, and he couldn't remember what year it was.

But I still remember the last second that he was indeed with Lin Zhile.

Holding the cigarette butt between his index finger and middle finger, he brought it to his mouth, and Lin Zhile walked up to take the cigarette away just after he finished his second puff.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhile's lips were pressed against his lips. Zhou Xun felt the slight chill after the wind and rain on his lips, and subconsciously let out a sob along with the smoke that hadn't had time to spit out, along the gap between their lips. A little out.

Lin Zhile's kiss was like mellow high-concentration liquor, mixed with the smell of tobacco in Zhou Xun's mouth, it was choking and intoxicating.

Zhou Xun felt that if Lin Zhile hadn't hugged his waist tightly, he would have been paralyzed and drunk.

But it was outside after all. Zhou Xun quickly woke up from his drunkenness and pushed Lin Zhile away. Both of them were panting slightly. Zhou Xun first looked around, except for the couple who were playing in the distance, there was no one else.

"Lin Zhile, what are you doing? This is outside." Zhou Xun's eyes turned red, and Lin Zhile's heart swelled a little.

"Brother Xun, next time you smoke secretly, I'll just kiss you in public like this."

"Why did I smoke it secretly? I smoked it in the smoking area openly," Zhou Xun didn't bother to talk back to him, "Where is the Roujiamo? Where did you buy it?"

"I put it on the dining table over there, let's go, the soy milk should be cold later." Lin Zhile held Zhou Xun's hand directly.

As a result, before the two turned around, they heard a loud bang outside the glass window. Looking back, it happened that their car parked in the parking lot was hit by a black SUV.The two thought that maybe they bumped into each other on a rainy day because they couldn't see well.

"I was hit, go and have a look." Zhou Xun opened his umbrella and walked out from the door of the smoking area.

Lin Zhile originally wanted Zhou Xun to eat, so he could go and see by himself, but now he had no choice but to quickly follow Zhou Xun and hold his hand again.

When the two walked to the front of the car, the black off-road vehicle was still backing up. After seeing them, it stopped. Zhou Xun took a look and saw that their car was not seriously hit. The left headlight of the car was cracked and a little dented.

The black off-road vehicle didn't change much, it just stopped and didn't move.

Zhou Xun stepped forward and knocked on the car window, "The car crashed, come down and have a look."

After waiting for a few seconds, there was still no movement and no response. Zhou Xun thought that the people in the car were injured, but the black off-road car was covered with black car film, so he couldn't see the situation inside clearly from the outside. He wanted to lie on his back. Look out the car window.

But before he got close, the door of the driver's seat was opened, and a tall and thick man came out, holding an umbrella, with a smile on his face, "I'm really sorry, the rain was too heavy, and your car was hit , I am fully responsible, fully responsible, take a look, how much money, I will pay you."

Lin Zhile didn't drive a luxury car this time, and the collision wasn't too serious. Zhou Xun just wanted to quote a price, when Lin Zhile said: "Since you are so forthright, I don't want to make an extra report, so let's do it together." Ten thousand..."

At first, the strong man thought he heard it wrong, so he opened his eyes wide, and asked again: "It's raining too much, I didn't catch it just now, how much did you just say?"

"Ten thousand." Lin Zhile repeated again.

The brawny man put away the smile on his face, and only his flesh remained, "Ten thousand? You really dare to speak up. You blackmailed people, and it would cost ten thousand. How much is your car worth?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xun was upset, and he remembered He You's blackmail of Ye Yunqing before, and just about to say a few words, he felt Lin Zhile lightly pinch his palm with the fingers holding his hand.

Zhou Xun reacted suddenly, looked back at the black off-road vehicle, then quickly adjusted his mood, and said to the brawny man: "If you say ten thousand, it will be ten thousand, and you can't lose a cent. In this rainy day, we have to go back later. Car repairs, lost wages and so on are not a small sum.”

The strong man wanted to argue a few more words, and the rear window of the black off-road vehicle dropped a slit, "As they said, ten thousand is ten thousand."

Zhou Xun was amused when he heard it, and said with a smile in the direction of the rear window: "The big boss is happy, let me congratulate the boss for making a fortune first!"

After hearing the instructions, the strong man said no more, returned to the car, and got out again with his wallet in a short while.

"I only have seven thousand cash on me, that's all."

Zhou Xun didn't answer, "Brother, I'll give you a card number, and you can just transfer it to me for [-] yuan, which saves me another trip to the bank to deposit money."

The strong man was obviously a little anxious, "Hurry up, give me the card number."

"Brother, wait a minute, I'll go back to the car to look for my bank card," Zhou Xun said, opened the car door, bent down to look for the card in the car, and Lin Zhile held an umbrella for him on the side of the car.

"Did you call the police?" Zhou Xun asked in a low voice.

"I just called the police with a text message. We just need to delay for a while now, but don't be too obvious, or they will become suspicious."

Zhou Xun didn't dare to delay too long, took out a bank card from his bag, and walked to the fat man with a smile, "Brother, please, I only found this card, just transfer it to this card number for me."

The strong man took out his mobile phone and started to operate, "What's the name?"

"Zhou Xun."

"Okay, it's been transferred." The strong man handed the transfer page to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun stared at the phone page and waited for a few seconds, "I haven't prompted the account information yet, please wait a little longer, brother?"

The strong man gave him a gouging look, then turned around and got into the car directly. After waiting for a few seconds, he suddenly restarted the car. The high beams were turned on and hit Zhou Xun directly.

Zhou Xun squinted his eyes because of the light.

"Brother Xun, be careful..." Lin Zhile reached out and pulled Zhou Xun, who was standing in front of the black off-road vehicle, to his side.

Then the black off-road vehicle stepped up the accelerator and stepped on it. The sharp and screeching friction between the tires and the ground broke through the heavy rain, and the off-road vehicle rushed straight out.

At the same time sirens sounded behind them.

Due to the inertia and the slippery ground in rainy days, the two of them were unsteady on their feet, staggered to the side, and hit the front bumper of the car next to them.

Zhou Xun was fine, Lin Zhile blocked him behind him, he only heard Lin Zhile's painful muffled groan amidst the sound of rain.

Zhou Xun hurried to help Lin Zhile, "How is it? Where did you hit, let me see."

Lin Zhile's back bumped against the bumper, causing him to bend his back in pain for a moment.

Zhou Xun squatted down to look at Lin Zhile, and found that his face was already pale with pain, and the umbrella had become a waste bone under the wheel in a moment of panic.Both of them were drenched in the rain, Zhou Xun helped Lin Zhile up, "Let's go to the car first."

After getting in the car, Lin Zhile said that he felt much better, and it didn't hurt as much as it did at the beginning, but Zhou Xun was worried, so he reached behind his back and lifted up his clothes.

Zhou Xun saw that Lin Zhile's back had an extra tattoo than before besides the redness and swelling that had just been knocked out, starting from the shoulder blades and extending to the end of the waist.

Zhou Xun took a few glances, but he couldn't see what his tattoo was. It looked like a symbol and a pattern, and it looked like fire, but it didn't look like it. They were scattered and not connected together.

"When did you get the tattoo?" Zhou Xun asked.

"The first two years." Lin Zhile said.

"What's your tattoo?" Zhou Xun got closer and took a closer look, but he still didn't see it.

"It's a totem."

"What totem?"

"It means the starry sky in a snowy night, and it means hope."

"It's quite elegant." Zhou Xun pulled his clothes off again, "Does your back hurt?"

"much better!"

Police station.

"Are Brother Xun hungry?" Lin Zhile asked Zhou Xun who was sitting beside him.

The two had been sitting in the police station for a long time, drank several pots of tea, and the wet clothes on their bodies were almost dry. They only saw the policemen coming and going, and finally someone came over.

"Do you know who's on the black off-road vehicle just now?" The police officer who spoke straightened his hat brim with excitement, "It's true that the Skynet is so meticulous that all four people in the car are wanted by our police. Thank you very much for your alertness, reporting the case in time, and helping us delay the time before all the suspects can be arrested and brought to justice.”

"This is the duty of our citizens." Lin Zhile regained his expression of indifference, and Zhou Xun lamented how quickly he changed his face, "Then the police officer should have nothing to do with us, can we go?"

After Lin Zhile finished speaking, he pulled Zhou Xun to leave, but was stopped by the police officer again, "I'm sorry, I have to ask you to cooperate with us to make a record, but those people just bit back, saying that you are their accomplices, because the spoils are divided Not even, so I called the police.”

"Comrade police, you have to investigate this clearly. We handed over the [-] they transferred to us. We explained the situation to you immediately. We are not with those people." Zhou Xun said .

"Don't worry, our colleagues have called the monitoring of the road surface and the parking lot of the service area, and have confirmed that you have nothing to do with them. Don't worry, but you need to cooperate with us to go through the process and make a record. gone."

Lin Zhile looked at his watch, "It's already two o'clock, and we haven't eaten yet."

Only then did the police officer come to his senses, and quickly sent people out to buy lunch boxes.

The two sat down again, and the officer took out a pen to take notes.

"The first question, your name, gender, and age." The police officer smiled at them after asking, "Process, process."

"Zhou Xun, male, 32 years old."

"Lin Zhile, male, 29 years old."

"Then what's the relationship between you two?"

"I'm his brother."

"I am his lover."

This time Zhou Xun and Lin Zhile spoke at the same time, the police officer stopped writing and looked at Zhou Xun, then at Lin Zhile, glanced back and forth at them several times, and asked again.

"You... what was the relationship between what you said just now?"
