Do not lie to me

It was late at night, and the lights were brightly lit everywhere in the city, but the lights of the people in the country were turned off early.The roadside shop saw no one passing by and closed the door.Only one mobile phone business hall was still lit, and the clerk yawned, and finally got to the end of get off work.He got up and packed up the door, tiptoed in front of the glass door and pulled down the rolling door.

The door frame was rusted, and it took a lot of effort for the clerk to pull the door all the way and lock it.

"Wow."

It sounded like something smashed to the ground.The clerk who locked the door looked up at the sky, then looked down at the door, "This door is too beautiful." After speaking, he rode away on his bicycle.

The door at the end of the corridor on the second floor opened and then closed immediately.Chen Fang stood close to the door, and the voice from the exit was trembling, "Yuanyuan, she's gone."

The man squatting on the ground spread out the plastic bag, and the knife in his hand flashed coldly.Zhou Yuan looked back at the person standing by the door, "Bring him here."

Chen Fang's legs trembled, "Yuanyuan, forget it."

Zhou Yuan sneered with a knife in her hand, "Hmph, you let me forget it at this point?"

Chen Fang lowered her head and bit her lip and said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

"That's right!" Zhou Yuan said loudly, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't always been so cowardly, if you were willing to stand up back then, Wen Ting wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have come to this point. Both your fault!"

Chen Fang was stopped by Zhou Yuan, and she looked up at Zhou Yuan with some horror in her eyes, and her trembling legs finally couldn't stand against the door and slid slowly to sit on the ground.

"Tsk." Zhou Yuan gradually lost her patience listening to the sobs behind her, got up and went into the room by herself to drag out the man who was tied up.

"Bitch! How dare you treat me like this! Let me go!"

Zhou Yuan dragged Wen Fu, who kept cursing, onto the plastic bag she had just laid out, and listened to Wen Fu's constant cursing with a blank expression, and just took the rag on the ground.

"You don't really want to kill me, do you...uh..."

Wen Fu's mouth was gagged, and he only opened his eyes wide to look at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan raised the knife, and before it fell down, she heard another voice from behind, "Yuanyuan."

"It's so annoying! Don't call me!" Zhou Yuan roared angrily, got up and went to the door and dragged him over, "Open your eyes and watch carefully, watch how this man who abused you for many years will die! "After speaking, without a trace of hesitation, the first knife fell on Wen Fu's shoulder.

"Uh--" Wen Fu, who was gagged, couldn't yell loudly, but kicked his bound legs hard in pain.

Zhou Yuan took a look at his legs that kept kicking, and the second time he slashed on his thigh.

"Um-"

Blood spattered Zhou Yuan's gloves.Zhou Yuan took a look at her hand, wondering if she was using too much force, her hand hurt a little.Just in a daze, the knife in his hand fell.

"Yuanyuan."

"I said I was so annoying! Hiss—" Zhou Yuan curled up her fingers, some blood oozed from the fingertips of the glove, it wasn't Wen Fu's, it was Zhou Yuan's own.Zhou Yuan took off her gloves, and her nails were lifted and fell off by her movements, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."

Zhou Yuan repeated that sentence over and over again, as if saying this would really stop the pain.Zhou Yuan looked at her hand with the nails falling off, then turned her head to look at the crying woman next to her.She kicked the knife on the ground, "Kill him."

"What?" Chen Fang looked up at Zhou Yuan in panic.

"Not to atone? Now is your chance. Killing him is your only chance to make amends."

Chen Fang glanced at Wen Fu lying on the ground bleeding, and Zhou Yuan leaned into her ear and said, "Have you forgotten how hard he beat you? He hit your back with the back of a knife. From now on, you are afraid to hide." He picked up the knife. He beat you on the back of the head with high heels, and you never dared to wear high heels again. Don’t you hate him? Apart from Wen Ting’s death, have you never wanted to kill him?”

Listening to Zhou Ting's words, Chen Fang picked up the knife on the ground.Zhou Yuan covered the back of her hand with a smile, and brought her hand holding the knife to Wen Fu's stomach, "Now is the time to pay off the debt."

Chen Fang grasped the handle of the knife tightly, and was about to stab Wen Fu in the stomach, but hesitated when she was about to insert it.Zhou Yuan held her hand and inserted the knife hard.

"Well--"

There was a long muffled sound in Wen Fu's throat, and then the sound gradually disappeared.Zhou Yuan let go of Chen Fang's hand, got up with a sigh of relief and walked to the sofa.Chen Fang threw away the knife in her hand in a panic.

Zhou Yuan collapsed on the sofa, looked at the silent tears on the ground and laughed, "He's not dead yet."

Chen Fang looked up at Zhou Yuan, "Really?"

"It's just passed out from the pain. But he's about to die, and he'll be dead when the blood is bleeding."

Chen Fang crawled to Zhou Yuan's feet, "Save him, Yuanyuan. Otherwise, if something happens, what will you do in the future?"

"What should I do in the future?" Zhou Yuan smiled and lowered her head to look at the person at her feet. "I only slashed him twice, one on the shoulder and one on the thigh. That wasn't a fatal injury, the most fatal place..." Zhou Yuan glanced at Wen Fu who was lying upright on the ground, "The deadliest thing is your hands, isn't it?"

Chen Fang stared at Zhou Yuan with wide eyes in horror, "Yuan...Yuan?"

"You owed one daughter, and now you owe it to another. Turn yourself in."

"What?" Chen Fang looked at Zhou Yuan blankly.

"I said you should turn yourself in and admit to the police that you planned the murder of Wenfu." Zhou Yuan didn't hear the answer, and looked down at the people on the ground coldly, "You can't do it if you don't turn yourself in. Wenfu is a drug dealer." That coffee shop is in your name. Now that Wen Fu dies, the police will investigate you first. They will also find out that the coffee shop is hiding drugs, so the police will have reason to suspect that your husband and wife are not sharing the spoils equally. You Wen Fu was killed on a whim."

"Okay, I'll turn myself in, and I'll take the blame for you."

Zhou Yuan smiled, "Hiss—" the finger without the nail started to hurt again, Zhou Yuan stretched out her hand to wrap that hand, and directed Chen Fang on the ground, "Go and get me the gloves."

Chen Fang shook/ got up from the ground, helped Zhou Yuan pick up the gloves and came over.Zhou Yuan took the gloves, paused, looked up at Chen Fang and asked, "Who did you call yesterday?"

"It's Wen Ting's former classmate. They say their name is Qi Liang."

"Hmph, Qi Liang!" Zhou Yuan clenched her teeth and looked at Chen Fang and said, "I'll arrange for you to hide for a while. You can surrender when I call you out. As for Qi Liang, heh heh heh..."

Qi Liang felt dizzy, opened his eyes and looked at the small wall lamp by the bed and said angrily, "Who told you to turn on the light?!"

The stinging pain in his eyes and the swelling pain under his body both made him uncomfortable, sensitive, and angry when he touched it.

Shen Ao, who was never calm, actually stopped when he heard Qi Liang's scolding this time, showing some consideration.Different from the tough attitude in the past, when he reached out to turn off the light, his expression seemed to be a little meticulous.It's unbelievable, Qi Liang suddenly had such an idea when he was watching, and then immediately sneered in his heart, I have to understand him again, there is no need.

After the lights went out, Qi Liang felt he had gotten used to it, and the mattress started to creak again.Qi Liang also began to get used to the thin sweat sticking to his clothes again, but his back and spine still rubbed against the mattress with some pain, not because of the pain this time, but because of rubbing too much.So what the pain, Qi Liang didn't care, Shen Ao gave him more than that.He half-opened his eyes to look at the slits of the curtains that were not closed tightly, and there was a dazzling light from there.Qi Liang turned his head to look at that place and stretched out his hand, then lowered his hand and laughed at himself, because he made a mistake in his calculation, the bed was still some distance away from the bay window, and he couldn't reach it with his own hand.

Because Qi Liang was distracted and turned his head to look at the place where the curtain cast light, Shen Ao happened to pick up his and didn't pay attention, and lowered his head to bite the part of his neck that was exposed by turning his head.This time Qi Liang was really angry, he raised his hand and grabbed the hair on the back of Shen Ao's head and pulled it back vigorously.But no matter how he tried to pull, Shen Ao just bit his neck and would not let go.

"Get off! Get off! Get off me!" Qi Liang yelled anxiously, pulling the hair on the back of Shen Ao's head with one hand, and beating his shoulder with the other, but Shen Ao didn't stop at all. , just biting his neck.One of the two didn't let go, and the other didn't let go, just confronting each other like this.

In the end, Qi Liang let go first, just as Shen Ao shivered along with his body.It didn't take long for Shen Ao to get down on the ground, and he just let go when he was lying on Qi Liang's body.

"Now, you can get out." Qi Liang said mercilessly.

Shen Ao who was lying on his stomach didn't move, Qi Liang unceremoniously stretched out his hand to push away the person on his body, turned over and sat up by himself.The phone rang again, Qi Liang stopped, and Shen Ao got up from the bed.

This is the third time the phone rang tonight.Both Qi Liang and Shen Ao understood who the caller was.

Sitting up beside the bed, Qi Liang pulled the wet and crooked clothes on his body, as if the doorbell rang instead of a phone call, he straightened his clothes with the intention of opening the door to entertain guests.

It's just that they haven't finished tidying up yet, but Shen Ao held his hand, "Don't..."

Qi Liang looked down at the hand holding his wrist, he had already made up his mind, the first phone call happened when Shen Ao held him down.The second call came when Shen Ao was in high spirits and didn't want to let him go easily.Qi Liang counted the time between the two phone calls, he closed his eyes and counted carefully, and Shen Ao turned on the light in the middle, interrupting his silent counting thoughts.

"What qualifications do you have." Qi Liang shook off Shen Ao and grabbed his hand, "Yes, you are not qualified." After speaking, he immediately picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, the screen was still on, Qi Liang was puzzled , because an unknown call is displayed on the screen.Isn't it him?If not, why are there so many phone calls?

Shen Ao saw it, saw Qi Liang pick up the phone, the undimmed screen of the phone just hit Qi Liang's expectant face with light, Shen Ao lowered his hands.

Qi Liang took the phone and turned around to look at the locked door, thought for a while and turned around to go to the bay window, opened the curtains and saw the bright lights outside.With the lights all over his eyes, Qi Liang felt inexplicably moved after not looking at it for a long time.He climbed up the bay window, drew the curtains, separated himself from Shen Ao on the bed, took two deep breaths, stabilized his trembling lips, and then answered the phone.

"Hi, is this Xuechen?"

Hearing this, Shen Ao raised his head and looked at the bay window. Qi Liang was hiding behind the curtains, wearing only his jacket, as if he was afraid that the people on the phone would know his current state, so he pulled the curtains to wrap himself tightly around his body. One huddled in a corner.

"Qi Liang, what are you doing these days? You don't answer the phone, and the bar isn't open."

"I..." Qi Liang opened his mouth, but he couldn't find a reasonable excuse, because he saw his face from the window, which looked neither human nor ghostly.

"Qi Liang? Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Qi Liang tried his best to make his voice lighter, "I'm fine. It's just that I've been a little tired recently. I want to take a rest and clear up my mood. Don't worry. By the way, you changed your number ?”

"No, I lost my mobile phone. By the way, let's not talk about this. In fact, today is Jiajia's wedding. She divorced and remarried, and married Brother Zhou. I asked you to invite you to the wedding. But you called I didn’t answer it either, Jiajia asked me again today, let’s forget about what she wants to tell you, she doesn’t blame you.”

"Well, you help me wish her happiness, and I will give her a gift later."

"together……"

Shang Xuechen's voice was cut off because Qi Liang hung up the phone hastily.He leaned against the wall and looked at the brightly lit city outside, and looked at himself reflected in the glass, "It would be great if everyone could be happy, and everyone except me could be happy." After speaking, he wrapped the curtains tightly , looking at myself in the glass, crying and laughing.

"together……."

"Beep beep..."

"Oh." Shang Xuechen looked at the hung up phone and sighed.

"What's the matter?" Ji Shuping, who was driving, stopped at a red light intersection and asked him.

"It's nothing." Shang Xuechen threw the phone back to Ji Shuping, looked up at the intersection and said, "Don't turn around, I'll go to your place today."

"To my place?" Ji Shuping turned to look at him.

Shang Xuechen raised his eyebrows at him, "I keep my word, if I said I would pay back the debt yesterday, then I will pay it back today."

Ji Shuping smiled, "Then it's no wonder you want to go to my place." When the green light came on, Ji Shuping stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, "If you were in Brother Zhou's house, you would definitely not agree."

Shang Xuechen didn't speak, just bowed his head and flicked the petals of the bouquet.Ji Shuping glanced at the back seat, "But what's in that bag?"

Shang Xuechen smiled and blew on the flowers in his hand, "You'll know when it's over. Anyway..."

There was another red light, Ji Shuping stopped the car, Shang Xuechen leaned over and whispered into his ear, "I won't let you down anyway."

The car suddenly turned off, it was because Ji Shuping didn't step on his foot firmly.

Shang Xuechen sat up straight and watched Ji Shuping turn the key to start the car again, only gloated and urged, "Hurry up, or you'll be red again."

Ji Shuping finally started the car and looked back at him, "Are you going to leave it to me tonight?"

Shang Xuechen didn't answer, just smiled and looked at the bouquet in his hand.

When they got to the villa, Ji Shuping came in with a basin and Shang Xuechen with a woven bag.

Ji Shuping put the enamel basin of the mandarin duck under the moon upright in front of the TV, took two steps back and looked at it with his chin propped, and nodded in satisfaction.Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and was about to hug Shang Xuechen.

"Hey——, be careful!" Shang Xuechen yelled, he walked behind Ji Shuping holding the fish tank, who knew that Ji Shuping turned around so suddenly, and a lot of water in the fish tank spilled out.Fortunately, Ji Shuping hid quickly, and the water didn't splash on him.

Ji Shuping looked at the pool of water stains on the ground, then looked up at Shang Xuechen, "Why are you holding the tank?"

Shang Xuechen rolled his eyes at him, "I didn't say anything to you unless you came back with a basin."

"But we don't want to..." Ji Shuping pointed to the stairs, "Is it going up? You want these two fish to watch."

"Who said I'm going up." Shang Xuechen walked towards the bathroom with the fish tank in his arms.Ji Shuping followed him, "You want to do it in the bathroom?"

"Tsk!" Shang Xuechen turned his head and glared at him, "Can you stop thinking about indecent things?"

"No." Ji Shuping replied directly, "You said that I have to pay back the debt today."

"I didn't say no." Shang Xuechen mumbled softly as he walked in front holding the fish tank.When he walked to the bathroom door, he looked back at Ji Shuping again.Ji Shuping stepped forward to help him open the door, seeing him holding the fish tank and carrying the bag, he reached out to grab the woven bag hanging on his shoulder.

Shang Xuechen hid, not letting Ji Shuping take it.Ji Shuping frowned, "What's inside that made you so careful?"

"You'll know after a while."

Saying it this way aroused Ji Shuping's curiosity, but Shang Xuechen insisted on not letting him see it.Unable to help him share the weight on his shoulders, Ji Shuping could only help him hold the fish tank in his hand.

The fish tank was carried away by Ji Shuping, Shang Xuechen had two extra hands, first he lifted the bag on his shoulder, then stretched out his hand to flick the fish tank to make the fish in it swim lively, and then said to Ji Shuping, "Come with me, I will grant your wish today."

"Fulfill my wish?" Ji Shuping, full of curiosity, followed Shang Xuechen through the bathroom and down the stairs to the underground swimming pool.

Shang Xuechen walked to the pool, turned around and asked Ji Shuping with a smile, "Do you still remember this place?"

"Remember." Ji Shuping walked to him with the fish tank in his arms, and glanced at the blue swimming pool, "Why don't you remember, you locked me here back then."

Shang Xuechen smiled, threw off his slippers and squatted down, rolled up his trousers and sat by the pool, tensing his toes to paddle the water.Ji Shuping saw a wave he stirred up, causing ripples on the water.Shang Xuechen looked up at him, tugged at his trousers, "Sit down too."

Ji Shuping first put the fish tank by the pool before squatting/rolling up his trousers and sitting next to Shang Xuechen. Shang Xuechen lay on Ji Shuping's lap and reached for the fish tank on the other side, facing the inside The two fish said, "I'll show you too."

"What are you looking at?"

Shang Xuechen didn't answer, just smiled and straightened up, and went to find the woven bag beside him.Ji Shuping stretched his neck to see what supernatural powers were hidden in his bag, Shang Xuechen seemed to have eyes behind his back, he grasped the bag tightly and turned his head to squint at Ji Shuping, "You mustn't look!"

"Okay, okay, I don't look at it." Ji Shuping retracted his neck, only looking at the water in the pool in front of him, but his eyes glanced at the people around him from time to time.

"Close your eyes."

"It's not necessary."

"Close your eyes!"

Ji Shuping sighed and closed his eyes, and then only heard the sound of water in the swimming pool, and Shang Xuechen's rummaging through the bag.

With a "click", Ji Shuping sounded like a lighter.

"Okay, open your eyes."

Ji Shuping opened his eyes, and saw Shang Xuechen was holding two firework sticks in his hands, lighting up the fireworks and sizzling, the face of the person in front of him was clearly illuminated, even the pupils were clearly reflected.Ji Shuping heard Shang Xuechen say to himself with a smile, "Shuping, I can watch the fireworks with you now."
