between men

What a thief.

"Do you live here alone?" He looked around, "This place...is very big...I don't want to be presumptuous, but...are you the son of some rich man?"

"It's not mine." I said with a smile. "There are two other people in the hall. The one with the beard is the one who will pay you today."

He stopped me suddenly: "You know what... I still won't go in, the boss is very bad, I should hurry back."

"We're not bad guys, okay?" I said as I pushed the door open, James and Feng both turned their heads, "The takeaway is here," I walked up to James and said, "Give me the money, let me pay for the fast food paid."

James turned his head and looked at Feng: "He's asking me for money now, do you understand? He won't look for you." He took out his wallet and pulled out a bill from it, "Tell him not to look for it. gone."

"Wait..." Feng called from the side, and then he took out two banknotes from his pocket, "He should have ridden for a long time, give these to him, and then tell him that you have worked hard all the way."

I twitched slightly, and I stretched out my hand to take his money, and when I was about to turn around and leave, James suddenly stopped me, and he took out two banknotes from his wallet and put them in my hand: "Let him give her daughter Buy a friend a gift."

"Okay...Feng?" I turned my head and said, "Do you still want to take the money?"

He answered quickly: "Of course!" He took out four or five cards from his wallet at once, "Tell him to buy it if you want to buy it."

"Xiao Yuan—"

"This should be enough." I said, put all the money in my hand on the table, and then took out two from it, "You can use the rest to fold the plane, and I will pay the money."

The guy was obviously exhausted, he was sitting on the steps outside the door panting, I paid him the money, he shook his head: "It's too much, I don't have any change, I..."

"Then don't look for it," I said to him, "somebody who can afford a house like this is such a good thing, you don't have to be so polite to people with money and brains, I bet you send it here You can make more money than that in your time, so go ahead."

"Thank you!" He showed a cheerful smile, stuffed the fast food into my hand, and left. I watched him leave with joy, and when he got on the bike and was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and smiled at me: "In fact, it would take me three days to earn that much."

I couldn't help but smile, I turned around and opened the door and walked in. Feng and James were still looking at each other, and the money on the table trembled from time to time in the breeze.I put the fast food on the table, and when I opened it, I found that it was already cold.

"Do you need to heat it up?" I picked up a chicken leg and took a bite. James looked at me and said, "No, it's good."

Feng also nodded in agreement, I shrugged, picked up a copy, went to the window and sat down, James also came over and sat next to him after more than ten seconds.

"The doctor said you can't eat fried food." Feng said from behind, James turned his head: "The problem is that we can only eat fried food now."

"Uh-huh—as if you don't mind your own business, if you think a little more you'll see that there are more options than fried food."

"Okay, so tell me who is staying in someone else's house now?"

Feng pointed to himself, "I...and Xiaoyuan."

"Hmm...you know?" James picked up a chicken leg and pointed at him, "I've been trying my best not to drive you away, because obviously you and Xiaoyuan know each other and have a close relationship. But you There is no need to challenge this bottom line all the time, if you can't let him leave with you, then you can leave by yourself."

"James, you—"

"No, no, Xiaoyuan, eat your chicken legs, don't talk for now."

Feng walked over and sat on the other side, he took the chicken leg that I had bitten a few times from my hand and bit down, then he smiled at James, James suddenly kissed me on the face: " That's called intimacy, understand?"

I had to pick up a chicken leg again.

"Hey, Xiaoyuan," Feng suddenly turned me around, his eyes looked directly at me, which meant that what he said next was serious, and James didn't stop him.

"I found a good place, a reef island." He said, "I admit...the purpose of my coming here is not just to find you, and you understand that. I...I just want to say that I I'm sorry that my arrival made you lose a right hand, but—you should understand that you said you would wait for me forever, and if you can't do this, I'm not sure your nightmare is in the night Will it still appear?"

"Then let him wait, okay?" James said behind me, "Xiao Yuan, before you speak, I want you to understand that he is threatening you."

Feng hastily denied: "I didn't mean that, but you should understand...you will feel safe with me, think about who threw you to the bar, there are such people around you."

"Me?" James called from behind. "Me? Oh, come on, whoever dropped him in the first place, you did more than I did—"

"Are you back now?" I stared into Feng's eyes and said, Feng was stunned for a moment: "Of course, I'm back, I'm here, I..."

"Are you really back?"

"I'm back, don't you..." He understood, "Do you think I'm back?"

The banknotes on the table were blown to the ground by the wind, and then blown away from the ground. James coughed lightly and opened the window, and the temperature of the sun became warmer.

"It's nice that you have a rock island," I said, "I think I can go up, but... are you sure you can come down?"

"I think I can come down."

"For what?"

I was still looking straight into his eyes, and he also looked at me without moving. After more than ten seconds, he looked away. I heard him sigh, and he stood up, turned around and left.

"Next Tuesday is Xiaoyuan's birthday." James said, which caught me by surprise, "Can you come over? I'm going to throw him a party...Of course, it's just someone I know."

Feng nodded, then opened the door and walked out. James kissed me on the neck, and I stood up and walked forward.

"Is that why you have no self-confidence?" I said, "I never imagined that you would need to do this one day."

James smiled, "I never feel that there is anything wrong, because I know your choice, I just do it to be safe."

"Safe?" I turned around, "You said you put a gun on my back just for safety? Do you think I'm not safe?"

"Not at all."

He stood up and put the gun in his hand on the table, a banknote was rolled up from the ground by the wind, and the gun shone with the unique light of metal under the sunlight.

"You're safe," he said, "but I just want him to stay away from you because you don't even know him now."

"Oh yeah? And do I know you? Who do you think I know?"

"Xiaoyuan, you..."

"No, don't come here." I stopped him, "If you really want to do this, I believe you can find a more effective method than threats."

The dispute continues...

"Effective?" He blinked. "It seems to me that you have no reason at all. You always don't care what others say, which means you leave a lot of choices for yourself."

"The choice is passive, that is to say, it is left by you. Do you understand my decision and still care about my stupid thoughts?"

James walked over and closed the window, and the draft disappeared in an instant. "I didn't say your idea was stupid, I just... it seems to me that you are quite hesitant, even though you know that choice A is the right one."

"That's your problem, James." I said standing on the stairs, "How many options are there besides A? How many options do you hope there are, huh? Four? Maple, you, ice wolf, and Who? Oh yes, and myself, but apparently you've forgotten about me, so will I know where I'm going to sleep tonight?"

James rubbed his forehead, put one hand on the table, "the second floor," he said, and walked over, "the place needs to be cleaned, if you are full, help take things down."

"Hey! I'm missing a hand!"

"That's the same, don't try to be lazy." He ran up the stairs and said without looking back.I had no choice but to follow up reluctantly, throwing the chicken leg bones aside casually.

James poked his head out on the second floor: "There is a trash can outside the door, pick it up and throw it there."

I raised my head: "When did you even care about this kind of thing?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful if you don't pick it up..."

"Huh?" I saw that he seemed to have something to say but couldn't say it, "Say, what do you want to do to me?"

He turned around and walked forward: "It's okay, you come up, I will throw the bone out by myself later."

Smiling secretly, I walked slowly to the second floor.There is a lot of space on the second floor. There are more than ten doors on both sides of an empty corridor. James opened the innermost door near the balcony and walked in. Then he asked me to take the broom there. I was on the other side of the corridor. One side saw it, and then took it and walked there.

"Is there anything else you want to take?" I asked as I walked, and James replied after a few seconds: "No, there is something dirty on the floor, just bring the broom."

I replied, the doors on the second floor are all similar in shape, but the closer to the balcony door, the lighter the color. When I came to the door of the room where James was, he was blocking the door and facing towards the balcony.
