inferior possession

Under the night, Shiyuan City is still bustling. On autumn nights, there is less noise from cicadas, but more bleak loneliness. Standing on the side of the street, the night wind blows, and it is still a bit cool.

Ji Lu subconsciously tugged at his sleeves, staring at the intersection in the distance without blinking.

Duan Congzhen said he would come to pick him up at night, but he didn't say when he would come. That is, Lu got off work very early, probably because the boss was rushing to watch the fireworks show. side waited.

About half an hour later, a familiar figure appeared at the intersection, and Lu's absent-minded eyes finally had a little light. He trotted forward two steps, pursed his lips, and looked expectantly at Duan Congzhen who stopped the car beside him.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Lu tentatively opened the co-pilot's door. Seeing that Duan Congzhen had no disgusted expression, he curled his lips and sat in cautiously.

"Here you are." Duan Congzhen said suddenly, and casually threw two candies, which landed on the back of Jilu's hand, flicked twice, and one fell to the ground.

Ji Lu paused for a moment, leaned over to pick it up, and thanked him in a low voice.

It's two chocolates, packaged in red gold, it looks expensive, and the color is very festive, making people think of candy.

"This is..." Jilu asked blankly.

"There is a colleague in the hospital whose child is one month old. He gave us two pills." Duan Congzhen turned the steering wheel and explained lazily, "I don't like sweets. If you don't like sweets, just throw them away."

"Don't throw it away." The deer immediately denied it, shaking his head, "I'll eat it."

As he said that, as if to prove something, he peeled off the chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth.

The rich and mellow sweet and bitter taste spreads in the mouth, and it has a very silky taste, even when the deer chews the chocolate, it only feels sweet to the heart.

I remember the first time I met Duan Congzhen, it was because I didn’t get the chocolate from outside that I got this man’s candy. Since then, no matter how delicious the chocolate is, he feels that there is no milk that Duan Congzhen stuffed in his mouth that day. Sugar is delicious.

"I also received the wedding candy today." Ji Lu had something in his mouth, said vaguely, and took out the wedding candy from Xiao Yang from his pocket, "My colleague got married, so I divided a few pieces."

The candy was spread out for Duan Congzhen to see, but the man just stared at the car window in front of him and had no time to care about him.

Ji Lu continued, "He proposed a few days ago and bought a very beautiful ring." At this point, Ji Lu licked his lips and licked off the remaining chocolate on it, and didn't say any more.

Mention the ring, and he will think of his own embarrassment and cheapness.

When mentioning the rings, he would think of the pure black set that Qi Ran gave Duan Congzhen. Duan Congzhen wears two of them, and puts them on his fingers every day. He will only take them off when performing operations and experiments.

Duan Congzhen still didn't answer. After a while, probably feeling the unexplained depression here, he tilted his head suspiciously, glanced at the man with his head down and his eyes absent-minded, and chuckled, "Why, you also Want it?"

That is, the deer didn't speak, and his eyes didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

Duan Congzhen would know if he wanted it or not.

"take it."

Duan Congzhen raised his hand from the steering wheel very generously, took off the ring on his middle finger, and threw it on the deer's leg casually, with a calm tone and a look of indifference.

The ring that was thrown onto the trousers was still glowing with lustrous and deep light, reflected in Ji Lu's eyes, but it didn't stir up any waves, I just felt that my breathing stopped for a moment, as if my heart was hit by this ring, it was unspeakably suffocated .

In Duan Congzhen's heart, he always seems to be so easy to get rid of. The gift from the little lover can be forwarded casually and used as alms for him.

Nothing could be more humiliating.

"Thank you, I don't want it." Ji Lu's voice was very soft and low, and he rarely rejected Duan Congzhen's charity, gently picked up the ring, and put his hand on the center console.

"Don't forget it." Duan Congzhen didn't insist, took the ring back with a "tch", and put it on his finger again.

Hearing his inaudible chirp, Ji Lu felt a little astringent in his heart, blinked his sour eyes, and suddenly felt that the chocolate in his mouth was bitter.

Staring out the window for a while, Ji Lu suddenly remembered the calendar he was looking at today, came back to his senses, and turned around hesitantly to ask, "Brother Duan, are you short of anything recently?"

"Huh?" Duan Congzhen was absent-minded, and answered with a frown. After a long time, he answered casually, "I don't feel sleepy."

Unsatisfied with the experimental data for several days in a row, one operation after another, and taking time to go back to work on the thesis for the tutor, Duan Congzhen really has no skills at all, and he can't wait to break it in half by himself.

It's completely lack of sleep and lack of work and rest in the United States, so he is grateful for the time to sleep.

Hearing what he said, Ji Lu glanced at his side face calmly, lowered his eyes, and said, "I mean, your birthday is coming soon, I want to give you something."

As soon as the voice fell, I saw Duan Congzhen's face suddenly changed, his pupils shrank a few times, his expression was stunned for a moment, there was a flash of unknown so fierceness in his eyes, and then he stepped on the brake hard.

The tires rubbed against the ground and made a screeching sound. Unexpectedly, the whole person almost hit the console. He hurriedly stretched out his hands to stabilize himself, and looked at the man whose expression suddenly changed, "Brother Duan, why..."

"Get out."

Ji Lu was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little helpless on his face, "I..."

"I tell you to get out."

Duan Congzhen's voice was trembling, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and the veins on his arms were faintly visible. He was holding the steering wheel with both hands, so hard that the blood vessels were a little purple. His eyes did not fall on Ji Lu, but they were still terribly cold and cold.

Ji Lu didn't understand what happened, so he pursed his lips, suppressed the helplessness and grievance in his heart, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car neatly.

As soon as the door was closed, I heard the loud sound of the engine, and the tires were spinning rapidly, bringing up dust, and galloped away without hesitation.

·

The place where Duan Congzhen asked him to get off was not far from the Bund, and it took only 10 minutes to walk there. Ji Lu was walking alone on the road, looking at the cars passing by, feeling a little sad.

He didn't know what he did wrong.

Obviously, every birthday in the past, he would prepare a little gift, even if it was not eye-catching, Duan Congzhen would accept it.

He just wanted to spend his birthday with him like he did seven years ago.

Walking alone to the Bund, the firework show is ready. The moonlight is reflected on the huge river, and the sparkling light is very pleasing to the eye, but the deer has no intention of admiring it.

Dissociated from the crowd, that is, the deer kicked stones boredly, blowing the bitter river wind, without a coat, shivering slightly from the cold.

Why is it so cold when winter has not yet arrived?

Ji Lu sighed, shrugged his shoulders, and looked up aimlessly.

The crowd is full of joy and excitement, looking forward to the upcoming fireworks show. Couples take photos tirelessly to capture beautiful moments. The tall father puts the child on his shoulders, and the child will laugh with joy.

Looking at the warmth that didn't belong to him, and never belonged to him, even Lu was a little absent-minded, and after a while, he smiled lightly.

very nice.

"Come to the riverside without a coat, do you think you are Elsa?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears, that is, when Lu turned his head, he saw Tao Ying standing on the steps behind him, looking up at the new osmanthus flowers growing on the tree, "This year the osmanthus flowers bloom late."

Ji Lu frowned slightly, subconsciously distanced himself from him.

"You will also come to this kind of occasion?" Tao Ying looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you never like crowded places?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Ji Lu replied coldly.

"It's really unfriendly." Tao Ying sighed, jumping on the spot when the wind blew past, and after a while, said, "I broke up with Brother Duan."

"Oh." The deer was expressionless.

"Don't you ask why?" Tao Ying put her hands in her pockets, smiled lightly, and turned her head to look at him.

"Not interested." The deer shrugged, still looking around, without purpose or focus.

"I mentioned it." Tao Ying didn't care whether he was interested or not, and continued, "I said I wanted to go home to accompany my mother, and I also wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination. So I told Brother Duan that I was leaving this city, and he accepted."

"Oh."

That is to say, Lu lacks interest, and doesn't want to hear about Duan Congzhen's involvement with other men, nor does he want to hear about Duan Congzhen's former lover showing off in front of him.

"There is another reason." Tao Ying blinked, with a hint of deepness in her eyes.

Ji Lu didn't speak, and didn't even look at him, only finding him annoying.

"I think you are scary." Tao Ying said bluntly.

Habitually ignoring this sentence, it took a while for Ji Lu to react, frowning in confusion, and then turned to look at him, "What do you mean?"

"You know what it means." Tao Ying slowly looked away and looked at Jiang Mian, "You are very jealous, I think if I stay by Brother Duan's side, one day, I will be worse than Qi Ran."

With a sneer, Ji Lu didn't take it seriously, and looked at him contemptuously, "Why should I hurt you? Who do you think you are?"

"That's only you who knows." Tao Ying was neither angry nor annoyed at his attitude, she just said gently, "I just saw Brother Duan in the stands, why didn't you join him, did you quarrel?"

Ji Lu was a little startled, and hesitantly turned his head to look at the terrace, but unfortunately, the crowd was so crowded that he couldn't see clearly.

"He's here?" Ji Lu asked.

He thought Duan Congzhen would leave after losing his temper, and he didn't want to continue watching the fireworks show, but he didn't expect him to stay.

"Ah, yes." Tao Ying nodded lazily, "I just said hello to him, can I still admit my mistake?"

"Did you quarrel?" Tao Ying asked again, a little strange, "Brother Duan has a good temper, and usually doesn't quarrel with his bed partner....Anyway, he never quarreled with me."

Glancing at him lightly, Ji Lu snorted coldly and didn't speak any more.

Tao Ying didn't force him, but leaned aside lazily, waiting for him to speak.

After a while, Jilu compromised a bit and told a little about what happened just now.

After listening, Tao Ying was a little shocked, her lips parted, and she didn't speak for a long time, which was quite different from the calm and calm look just now.

"What's wrong?" Ji Lu asked, suddenly feeling a little bad.

"Brother Duan's mother...uh...his mother..." Tao Ying swallowed, and said in a daze, "...died in a car accident on his birthday, so..."

Tao Ying looked at the dazed and dazed man in front of him with embarrassment and pity, "So he... doesn't like people mentioning his birthday very, very much."
