After staying in the dark and damp alley until evening, Ji Lu recovered from the sudden illness. He leaned against the wall, his clothes were soaked in sweat, and he was weak and weak.

He can't go back today, and I'm afraid he will resent Han Shuo's appointment, he can't go to dinner with him, he will hide, and even continue to run away.

Ji Luhu wiped away the tears on his face with his hands, the trembling feeling in his throat hadn't passed yet, but he didn't dare to wait even a moment, took out his cell phone and called Han Shuo.

The phone was connected quickly, and there was the sound of wrapping paper being folded from the opposite side, and there was a lot of noise before Han Shuo spoke.

"Brother Lu, where are you?" Han Shuo held the phone between his shoulders, panting slightly, "Why haven't you come back for so long? Is something wrong?"

Ji Lu licked his lips with difficulty, tried his best to calm himself down, sounded more normal, and said softly, "I won't go back today."

"Ah? Why?" Han Shuo didn't expect it, "So suddenly?"

"Yes. There is something urgent." Ji Lu said, his voice was extremely dry, and he was about to tell him to have dinner another day when Han Shuo interrupted him.

"Brother Lu, wait a moment, I'm here to greet guests," Han Shuo said in a high tone, sounding anxious, "Can you wait a moment?"

Ji Lu sighed slightly, "Go and do your work."

There was a rustling on the opposite side, and there was a faint sound.

"What kind of flowers did you just say?...Oh, oh, okay, can you wait a moment? I'll get yours after I wrap up this gentleman's flowers...Thank you, I'm really sorry...And A delivery order, ah, why are so many people buying flowers today..."

Hearing his eager and confused tone, even Lu could imagine that he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, and felt guilty, feeling that he was dragging him down.

After the busy time was over, Han Shuo picked up the phone again, panting, "Sir, go inside and pick it out, and I'll trim and bandage it for you...Brother Lu."

Hearing him finally calling himself, Ji Lu stood up from the ground staggeringly, clutching the banknotes in his pocket, and planned to find a hotel to stay in, "Sorry, I have caused you trouble."

"Where is this?" Han Shuo laughed, sounding like he didn't care. Then he remembered something and asked with concern, "Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you come back all of a sudden?"

"A little personal matter." Even though Lu didn't say much, he didn't want to recall any more.

"That's fine, your business is more important." Han Shuo responded very understandingly, "That night we..."

"Go again next time." Ji Lu said, "The next time I treat you to dinner, I will make an apology."

"Then I won't be polite." Han Shuo smiled, not forgetting to tell him, "If you need anything, please let me know."

"Yeah." Jilu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Shuo started to get busy again, probably because the customer just picked out flowers and asked him to trim and pack them, Han Shuo ran over before hanging up the phone.

"Do you want these?...Okay, I'll pack it right away...Is this color of wrapping paper okay?...May I ask if you are giving it to a lover or a family member?"

Seeing that he was so busy that he didn't even have time to say goodbye, Ji Lu lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly, and was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly heard a faint voice from the other side of the receiver.

"Lovers."

The man's voice was low and smiling, very leisurely, as if he was smoking a cigarette, his voice was a bit indistinct.

Just two words, Ji Lu was stunned for a moment, his pupils trembled violently.

that voice...

"Girlfriend?" Han Shuo asked habitually, cutting the paper package with his hands.

"Ah."

Ji Lu heard the man reply in a low voice, and then spoke very slowly.

"I'm looking forward to meeting him."

As soon as the voice fell, the deer's body swayed, and when it raised its head, the bright red sunset sprinkled on the sky, dazzling like blood.

The lips are dry and pale, that is to say, the deer is cold all over and can no longer feel any temperature.

He hung up the phone, as if he was on the verge of falling, staring blankly at the bustling market outside the alley, with no expression on his face, like a dead man.

Duan Congzhen's voice was still echoing in his ears just now, with the same ease as always, a huge desire to manipulate came through the receiver, grabbing Ji Lu's nerves, making him unable to think for a moment.

Long time no see.

He was still just as, so scary.

Duan Congzhen still found it. He seemed to always extinguish the deer just when it had a little hope, trample it under his feet, and grind it into the soil.

He found Han Shuo's flower shop, and he is staying with Han Shuo now, he didn't even talk to Ji Lu, but Ji Lu knew what he meant.

"Come back quickly, my Bambi, or something will happen to your friend."

That is to say, the limbs and bones of the deer are cold, as if they are in a world of ice and snow.

He wanted to cry, but couldn't shed a single tear.

·

He walked back to the flower shop in a daze, and when he reached the alley, Ji Lu recognized Duan Congzhen's car at a glance and parked outside.

That is, the deer has shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat.

He couldn't move, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his body was so soft, like a cold sickness.

He wanted to turn around and run, but he couldn't.

Han Shuo is still inside, his shop, his flowers, his job, and his house are all in Duan Congzhen's hands.

That is to say, the deer has already harmed so many people, so it cannot harm Han Shuo again.

Raising his hand to wipe the tears on his face, Ji Lu suddenly smiled, feeling that there is no one in the world who is more cowardly and embarrassed than him.

He took a light breath and walked in. Ji Lu was holding the knife in his pocket tightly, his hands shaking.

He remembered that he used to be able to kill for Duan Congzhen, but now, the tip of his knife is pointing at the person he once loved deeply.

The light in the flower shop was on, and from the window, one could vaguely see the cash register. Han Shuo was bowing his head to sign the bill. The man standing in front of the counter was wearing a black coat with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms. He was leaning against the counter and talking to Han Shuo. Chatting, the whole person is completely different from the nobleness when attending the meeting during the day.

Even the deer didn't have the heart to appreciate it anymore.

Taking a deep breath, the deer was about to pull his hand out of his pocket when he suddenly realized that he was repeating his previous behavior of pleasing Duan Congzhen, and he forcibly endured it, holding the knife firmly in his pocket.

After walking in, the welcome bell rang, Han Shuo looked up in response, and was a little surprised when he saw him.

"Brother Lu? Why are you back?"

The surprised voice even echoed in the empty flower shop.

Hearing this, the man slowly turned sideways and cast his gaze towards him.

Duan Congzhen's eyes were deep and sharp, just one glance, as if cutting his clothes, the moment the eyes met, the deer subconsciously took half a step back.

"Wait a minute." Han Shuo called Duan Congzhen to sign the form first, and then came out from the cash register, "Brother Lu, didn't you say something was up? Why are you back?"

Ji Lu reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, pretending to be calm, avoiding Duan Congzhen's eyes, "It's been resolved."

"Ah, what's the matter?" Han Shuo scratched his hair, seeing that his expression was not right, "Are you okay?"

"No." Ji Lu clenched his fists, his fingertips pierced his palms, and there was burning pain, "You go back first, I'll come and see the store."

He didn't dare to let Han Shuo and Duan Congzhen be alone anymore, so he sent Han Shuo away first, at least Duan Congzhen wouldn't accidentally hurt him if he went crazy.

"It's okay." Han Shuo thought he was being polite to him, and waved his hand, "I've been busy, there is only a little thing left, and it will be dealt with in a while."

Said, but also to go back.That is to say, Lu Meng stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother Lu?" Han Shuo was also taken aback.

"You...you go first." Ji Lu pushed him towards the door.

"Why?" Han Shuo frowned strangely, puzzled by his abnormal behavior.

Ji Lu couldn't explain why, so he could only persuade him to go first, and was pushing him out of the door when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"He can't go."

The casual sentence seemed to hit Jilu's heart, making him tremble violently.

His fingers trembled violently, and the deer choked for breath, and his whole heart twisted.

"Sir," Duan Congzhen chuckled, turned his head to stare at his avoiding eyes, and said lazily, "He still wants to help me wrap the flowers, why can't he leave after finishing them?"

"I'll help you." Ji Lu suppressed the tremor in his voice, closed his eyes, and tried his best not to look too embarrassed.

"No." Duan Congzhen shook his head, "I just need Mr. Han to pack it for me, and the gift boxes are all picked out, so there won't be a long delay."

Not knowing the situation between the two of them, Han Shuo listened to Duan Congzhen's tone, only thinking that he was offended and angry, and hurried over to apologize.

"Mr. Duan, don't be angry, my friend is just joking." Han Shuo picked up the flowers, put them in the gift box, and put a bottle of aromatherapy inside, "This is for you. I'm sorry to keep you waiting. gone."

"It's okay." Duan Congzhen nodded and smiled slightly.

After sealing the gift box and tying it with a bow, Han Shuo handed the box to Duan Congzhen with a gentle smile, "I wish you a happy date with your lover."

"Yeah." Duan Congzhen raised his eyebrows, nodded, took the flowers, and said meaningfully, "It will be very pleasant."

There was a man's low and laughing voice next to his ears, that is, the deer's body was stiff, looking at the floor, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were dry.

After Duan Congzhen paid the money, Han Shuo also took off his uniform and wiped his hands.

"Let's go." Ji Lu hurriedly said, stretched out his hand and gently tugged on his sleeve.

Han Shuo paused his arms and lowered his voice, "Brother Lu, what's wrong with you today?"

"It's okay." Ji Lu shook his head and denied, his voice trembling slightly, "Go back and rest, you won't be able to catch the subway if you're late."

Duan Congzhen watched the two people's movements, hooked his lower lip playfully, and turned his head to look at Ji Lu's flustered and forbearing expression, as if he was watching a play, with no emotion in his eyes.

Walking out following his movements, Han Shuo looked back at him with a strange expression, "Brother Lu, are you okay? Why do you look so pale?"

"I'm fine." Even though the deer was about to cry, he still pulled the corners of his lips, "Hurry up..."

"You're so weird today." Han Shuo said while putting on his coat.

Ji Lu didn't respond to him, and while vigilantly watching Duan Congzhen's movements, he urged Han Shuo to move in a low voice.

"Then I'm leaving." Han Shuo shook his hat and raised his hand towards Ji Lu, "Bye bye, Brother Lu, you should go to bed earlier."

"Yeah." Ji Lu nodded hastily, fearing that he would suffer disaster if he was a little late.

The moment Han Shuo walked out of the flower shop, Lu felt cold and heard a chuckle. Before he could react, he caught a glimpse of the man passing him from the corner of his eye, and followed Han Shuo's back.

"Duan Congzhen!"

Ji Lu exclaimed, his voice was hoarse with fear, his gaze was fixed on the man's cruel profile, and Han Shuo's back was in his corner of the vision, he slowly clenched his fists and spoke in a low voice.

"I beg you...don't."
