【Steel Refining Flame Steel】How to make the person I like also like me

The appearance of Roy Mustangu was completely unexpected to Ed. It would be better to say that the whole incident happened when the parties involved were completely or semi-completely confused.From just now, the boy was placed on a dry high stool, wearing a crumpled nylon jacket and pajamas, and his lower limbs were tightened uneasily and buckled on the stool legs.The boy's hands were clasped tightly on the back of the chair and tied with ropes, his face was swollen and painful to the touch, probably due to an accidental fall just now, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Right now, the space is cramped, the lights are dim, the air is turbid, and there is constant noise outside the door.Since the incident happened suddenly and without warning, Ed was almost still immersed in the emotions of "I'm still sleeping?" and "What the hell happened?" In the dreamland that was abruptly awakened by the sound of the doorbell downstairs.It was not yet dawn at the moment, and it was estimated that it was only one or two hours ago.At that time, the boy struggled to get up frizzily, rubbed his long hair that was messed up like a bird's nest, and looked at the time displayed on the phone: 2:33 in the morning.

What?At that time, he opened his eyes in bewilderment, and in his half-closed eyes were the dark night and the fluorescent numbers on the phone.The boy brushed the long hair that had slipped in front of his eyes indiscriminately behind his ears, and the messy hair slipped into his collar and scratched his back. The laborious feeling of having to restart his brain in the middle of the night added to his indescribable irritability.Unexpectedly, the idiot who doesn't know who is downstairs is still holding on, and the doorbell rings from downstairs to upstairs, and it seems more and more loud in the quiet night of the countryside. It was deafening - Ed's anger immediately came up: you are so noisy, why do you always make trouble for him in the middle of the night?Shouldn't it be bedtime at this point?So what if I ignore you?

That being said, after repeated ideological struggles, Ed still cursed and left the Anle Township wrapped in electric blankets, grabbed a nylon jacket and ran downstairs.Since it is the middle of the night and it is necessary to wake up people, it is better to have some urgent reasons, otherwise he does not know what impulsive things he will do in a fit of anger, and it will probably cost his life cost.Thinking about it, the boy approached the entrance angrily.Could it be Roy Mustangu?

He was frightened by his own thoughts for a moment, rationally trying to appease his half-awake brain, explaining it as a short-circuit of unconsciousness, but his heart twitched sensitively, not sure if it was because of fear, anger or expectation.

No way, no way, barging into other people's houses in the middle of the night regardless, really looks like that idiot style.Wait, he doesn't know where I live when I go back to my hometown, it's impossible... He knows my hometown and with that guy's flirtatious style, maybe some powerful contacts will change his address When I came out, I found a ticket gang to help Heydrich upstairs.Thinking of this, Ed couldn't help but be out of his wits, so that the fingers touching the doorknob flinched for a moment, and he hesitated for a moment before pulling the lock and opening the door.

The backlight behind the door, the dim and dark night and the chilly spring night wind blowing towards the face, caused Edward, who had just jumped out of the electric blanket, to shiver.Dim street lights cast from the distance of the road, and the figure was inlaid in the halo. It was a sturdy, medium-sized figure.

It was only then that Ed realized that he had been holding his breath from just now, and then finally relaxed at this moment.I don't know if it's because of joy or regret.

The anger was let down, but the anger that had just been dragged out of bed late at night surged up again.Ed turned his head angrily, trying to see the other person's face clearly in the dim light.However, the other party has a face that I'm afraid it's hard to remember after seeing it hundreds of times. The beard is shaggy, the expression is tranced, and the eyes are very sad. The young man slightly closed the door, trying to suppress the anger in his voice.

"Brother, I think there must be some last resort reason for you to ring someone's doorbell in the middle of the night?" Ed gritted his teeth, "Anyway, fart fast and speak straight, I'm so cold standing here very."

The golden-haired boy thought that his tone of voice was rough enough, but the other party didn't know whether it was a slow reaction or a lot of knowledge, so he didn't show a trace of wavering, but continued to speak calmly.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you like this at night, young sir." The passer-by said, "It's like this, I drove here to do some business, and now the car is parked not far from here, and the battery is only half I have been driving for 20 minutes, so I want to find the nearest place to charge. You see, I am not familiar with the place here... The phone signal is not good and I can’t turn on the navigation, and I can’t find someone to ask for directions in the middle of the night, so I saw yours here The house, I just want to come and ask."

Hearing this, Ed raised his eyebrows, leaned out a little and looked around.There is no star or moon tonight, and the sky is full of haze. A rural town like Fairfield is not like a metropolis like Seattle. This point is even darker and lifeless.Looking around from here, except for the sparse street lamps, the flickering old-fashioned car lights not far away, and the light from the window of the attic studio of Rockbell's house next door - that guy Wen Li must have been procrastinating until the last night to replenish the homework of the machine - hardly any light.What is there to do in such a crappy place at night?

Ed curled his lips impatiently, wrapped the coat around his body tightly, and poked out again.This time he finally saw the other person's face clearly, the bearded and wrinkled face looked down at himself sadly, as if harboring some kind of resentment.Please, it should be me who is complaining.

"You keep driving along this road," the young man waved his hand and gestured in the direction, "probably the second...or maybe the third turn, anyway, you can see where the road is wider and there are some shops on the road, you turn In the past, there must have been a place similar to a 24-hour charging station... it was only 15 or 16 minutes away." Ed paused, as if he didn't really believe what he just said, but as a person without a driver's license and For a person who hasn’t been home for two years, this is almost the limit of his knowledge—it should be almost there.” So he quickly raised his neck, trying to make a very believable appearance, and tried to send the other person away quickly, irritatedly, “ In short, there will be a little more people there, at worst, if you ask again, it will be near that area. Well, good night, big brother."

Before the words finished, the boy was about to close the door, but the other party grabbed the door.Ed raised his head annoyed, and met the other's bitter face.

"But if I go wrong, my car's battery will definitely not last." The uncle said pitifully, "Sir, I know it's troublesome for you, but please come out and help me open a navigation."

The boy's face quickly wrinkled, "Brother, do you know what time it is? And I'm so cold."

But the other party stalks, "I'm sorry, but I have nowhere to go. My work is urgent, please do me a favor."

Ed was so angry that he wanted to jump up and kick the other man's ankle.However, when the other party mentioned this, he had almost no room to refuse.What a fucking dog.

Reluctantly, he slammed the door shut, turned around and grabbed the phone and keys and stuffed them into the coat pocket, squatted down and found a pair of broken sneakers to put on, opened the door again, and followed the passer-by uncle to his car, it took a long time It was only because of the energy that he couldn't resist swearing in front of the other party.

"It's right in front." The uncle seemed to feel the boy's dissatisfaction, and quickly pointed to the flashing car lights not far away.

Ed blinked, the night wind pouring into his baggy coat, his body was cold.At this time, he finally frowned and stopped, and looked around again.Not quite right, not quite right from the beginning.I was too reckless just now, I shouldn't have done that.

"It's fine here," Ed said, taking out his mobile phone, but his eyes didn't droop, and he moved away a little calmly, "I'll give you the blueprint of the navigation right away."

The uncle nodded, leaned sideways and leaned over silently.Ed lowered his head and pretended to turn his back to check with his mobile phone, but the corner of his eyes was watching the other party's movements.Ed calmly looked at the man slowly approaching his body, thinking that he should have noticed this long ago.If you were trapped in the wilderness and had to ask the locals for help, most people would go to Wen Li's house next door with the lights on. How could they come to knock on their own dark and desolate home?Coupled with all kinds of subtle details, I was too careless before!However, at this point, it is only waiting to take a step and watch one.

At that moment, the man suddenly took out something from his arms, and was about to rush towards the boy.It was too late and then too fast, Edward jumped up with a bullet and opened the distance at once, then met the other party's astonished gaze, kicked the electric shock baton in the man's hand without saying a word, then turned around and gave the other party a blow A solid lowercut.The touch of bone shattering spread rapidly on the knuckles, and the scream burst out at the same time as the boy fell to the ground.Ed sneered and stood up, watching the other party rolling on the ground in pain.

"Stupid," the young man rubbed the back of his hands, "Although I don't know where your mother and old man's hatred came from, but this is the first time for me to be such a careless villain..."

see.

A burst of numbness exploded from the lower back, and the pain was much slower than the overwhelming numbness and blankness, and the current flowed rapidly through the limbs.Ed suddenly remembered that his back was facing the direction of the woods and vehicles just now, and there could be accomplices there.

Whoops.

He really wanted to swear, but his tongue and mouth couldn't be controlled, his hands and feet were so stiff and numb that they didn't seem like part of his body, his mind was blank, and was quickly covered by the ensuing darkness.The memory is also interrupted here.

The hours after the attack were surprisingly one of the few quiet moments of the night.In the time since leaving Seattle, sleep had become a horror in Ed's eyes.He was afraid that he would really dream about someone he had been thinking about, and he was also afraid of himself who could not let go of him until now, so that he did not dare to fall asleep for a long time until he was helplessly conquered by the nightmare.However, when he finally fell asleep with no other choice, the dream of the source of fear did not exist in the water he was afraid of.His sleep was pitch black, and he had no memory when he woke up, as if he had rationally and subconsciously isolated Edward from that memory.

However, during the short period of drowsiness after the attack, the darkness of the dream was lit up by unknown lights, and the surrounding area was as bright as day.At that time, Edward was surrounded by the tide of consciousness and dreams, he could not stand firmly in the vortex, and he was unsteady, the light was bright but he could not see clearly in all directions.Vaguely, Ed could only vaguely feel that he saw Roy Mustangu, who was looking at him from a distance through the flowing water and smoke, his beautiful eyes and soft black hair were as haunting as he remembered .But the self in his dream was dumbfounded, failed to pretend to be aggressive, and didn't beat him up like he hoped, but didn't know what kind of nonsense he was talking to him.He even foolishly pulled the other party's arm to justify something, with a nervous expression on his face.And Mustangu in the dream was no longer silent or indifferent, he leaned over and hugged himself, whispering something in his ear.Edward should have felt disgusted, but for some reason he didn't push him away at that time, but tried hard to listen to what Roy said.

What are you trying to say to me?

However, the flow of consciousness is choppy, and the soft voice of the other party is faintly visible in the tide, and it is difficult to catch it. Ed tries very hard to hear it clearly, but he can still only hear the noise of the tide.When he regained consciousness again, he realized that the voice that blocked his words came from outside the door in reality, and the loud noise woke him up abruptly from his dream.

I rely on.Am I still sleeping?What the hell happened?

After a long while, Ed finally regained his sanity and heard the voices around him clearly.Before I opened my eyes, I could hear the endless noise outside the door in the darkness, the decibels were rising steadily, mixed with the sound of smashing pots and stickers, fighting and fighting, quarreling and bickering, it was annoying and intensified, through the fragile The door panel harassed the young man's eardrums, as if tonight must be unpleasant and not quiet.So much so that at this moment, the blond boy's instincts were awakened before reason, he opened his eyes almost in a rage, opened his mouth and wanted to curse loudly, the old man still wants to hear the old man's ex-dream What did the lover say, why the hell are you telling me not to sleep! ——Then in the next second, he realized his situation, and he was instantly sober.

A splitting headache, numbness in the limbs, and a swollen face—clearly the result of that bastard's electric shock baton just now.The young man lowered his head and took a look, only to see that he was tied up on a bench with five flowers, and his feet were flying in the air, which hurt his self-esteem.The young man looked around, and saw that he was in a narrow room with a low ceiling, and the surroundings were tightly sealed with cement. Only a row of very narrow windows on the side wall close to the ceiling revealed the night, and the incandescent lights above his head The poor light cast his figure on the door panel in front of him.

The current situation couldn't be more clear, he was kidnapped.

Thinking of this, the boy's head hurt even more.

What the hell is going on? Fuck, Ed gritted his teeth violently.Offending people... Although he has done a lot of things, how can he not be hanged up to take revenge?He has no father or mother, only a perfect younger brother who lives in the end of the world, and he is a poor technical nerd in a poor laboratory who can't even pay the rent. Ed really can't figure out how to seek his money and kill himself What are the benefits?Could it be that he is going to be sold as a child bride?

Almost at this moment, Ed heard the name of Roy Mustangu.

He almost thought it was a hallucination produced by his own wild thinking or an insinuation of long-term desire before death.

Not so.That name was yelled out again, and it was especially harsh amidst the chaotic noise outside the door.Edward looked at the door in disbelief with a dazed expression on his face.What the hell does this have to do with Mustangu being such a moth?My God, the young man had an idea. Could it be that this idiot played with fire for many years and finally set himself on fire, and then I was dragged into the water by this idiot! ?

At this moment, the door in front of the boy was slammed open.Ed raised his head abruptly, and watched Mustanggu appear in front of his eyes, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.Under the glare of the incandescent lamp, the other party was still as beautiful as before, and even curled his lips vividly to reveal a subtle smile after seeing him, while Ed had countless thoughts flying through his mind, and even in a flash I made up the bloody plot of Mei (Mustangu) saving the hero (myself), and at that moment I was extremely eager to hope that this kind of plot that would be quickly changed channels once it appeared in TV dramas could happen by my side—— It's a pity that reality is not always so bloody.

Roy Mustangu was pushed in from behind.

It was only then that Ed noticed the blue corners of his eyes and his disheveled collar.Two strong men dragged Mustang into the room cursingly, and pressed Roy on the chair behind Edward like a chicken on a cutting board.Then the strong man spat on the ground, glanced at Edward's stunned eyes with disdain, and then took out the same style of hemp rope from Ed's crotch, and tightly tied Mustang to the back of the chair behind Edward. .
