only time

The man continued to molest roughly, Lian Shaoguang bit his lip and endured silently.

Not long after, Lian Shaoguang's lips trembled and he began to vomit, his whole face twisted together in pain.

The woman discovered the anomaly first, and hurriedly let the man see it.

The man panicked when he saw it.

"Fuck! So weak?!"

"Are you overdosing?"

"No! Normal amount!"

The woman was anxious, "What should I do then? Call 120?"

"I want to hit you! I'll go first."

The man seemed to feel disappointed, and walked out as he spoke, but the woman tried to stop her.

Qiu Rang also wanted to stop that man, wanted to beat him up, and tied him to the bed to do to him what he did to Lian Shaoguang just now.

He was trembling with anger, and almost watched the whole thing through gritted teeth.

If he was allowed to see that beast, he would not be relieved to be hacked into pieces!

"Do you want to continue?" Phoenix's voice sounded.

Qiu Rang swallowed with difficulty, his chest hurting so much that he couldn't breathe.

"continue."

Now that you've seen it, let's finish it in one go.

As soon as the scene changed, we arrived at the hospital.

Lian Shaoguang was lying on the bed wearing an oxygen mask, his eyes were closed, and his face was pale.There are many instruments attached to the body.A purple bruise circled the exposed wrist.

The parents of Lian's family who came in a hurry saw their son who was in a coma, and they burst into tears with heartache.Lian's mother fainted for a while.

The doctor said: "It is acute poisoning. There are still many wounds on the body. We suspected that someone was mistreating and called the police."

The police said: "Both suspects have been arrested now. Please go to the old man at a convenient time."

The scene changed again, to the police station.

The two elders sat in a hut.

The police recounted the statement obtained from the man and woman to the elders.

Roughly speaking: Wang Ning, female, 31 years old, is the victim's girlfriend.Li Chao, male, 33 years old, friend of Wang Ning, gay.Wang Ning and the victim met through a blind date.But because both sides did not take a fancy to each other and did not continue to get along.Li Chao accidentally saw the photo of the victim at Wang Ning, recognized the victim, and said that he had contact with the victim, and identified the victim as gay.Li Chao learned that Wang Ning failed to date the victim because of his Beijing hukou, so he advised Wang Ning to coerce the victim into dating Wang Ning by finding out that the other party was gay.Because Wang Ning liked Li Chao, he obeyed blindly, and threatened the victim that if he did not obey, he would tell his parents about his homosexuality.The victim was forced to associate with Wang Ning.During this period, Li Chao urged Wang Ning many times to get more information about the victim so as to ensure that the victim would be eaten to death.In the end, Wang Ning couldn't bear the temptation, and assisted Li Chao in kidnapping the victim and committing rape on him, but the rape attempt failed due to the victim's drug poisoning.Wang Ning and Li Chao confessed to the criminal process and facts.If the parties and their relatives investigate, they can be prosecuted for intentional injury.

Father Lian remained silent the whole time, the veins on his forehead and the back of his hands proving his anger.Lian's mother fainted again, woke up crying bitterly, and shouted: "Sin, sin!"

The scene changed again, on the street in the early morning, an out-of-control truck rolled the two elders under the wheels, the thermos in Lian's mother's hand rolled down, and the soup inside spilled all over the floor.

The scene changed again, to the hospital.Lian Shaoguang, who just woke up, heard the sad news of his parents' death and passed out again.When he woke up again, his eyes were so empty that he seemed to have lost his soul.

Later, he resigned, returned to Beijing, held a funeral with the help of his aunt, shut himself in the room, and was in a daze day and night, refusing to eat, drink or sleep no matter how much his aunt persuaded him.Finally, he fell down.After waking up, she wailed and cried until her heart broke. She said that she was all to blame. If it wasn't for me, her parents wouldn't have died.

Qiu Rang woke up with tears on his face.

I thought I was well prepared, but I was about to collapse.

The past that Lian Shaoguang was carrying was too heavy, so heavy that he, a bystander, was suffocated.He couldn't imagine the pain in Lian Shaoguang's heart.No matter how much he felt the pain, he couldn't empathize with it.

Where in the world does empathy come from?

"Are you okay?" Phoenix asked.

He choked up and replied, "It's okay."

"Even so, do you still want to confess to him?"

"let me think again."

For several days in a row, Qiu Rang forced himself into busy work.He didn't dare to stop, and as soon as he stopped, the clips he had watched would keep flashing through his mind, distracted and overwhelmed with pain.

He didn't dare to see Lian Shaoguang either, he didn't know how to face Lian Shaoguang.

There are times when work is done.Until one day, he finally finished writing the demand letter whose deadline is half a year later.He found all kinds of things to distract his attention, and even had to do the work of the new colleagues, which moved the new colleagues to a mess.

That night, he stayed in the company until he had nothing to do.

I went downstairs and bought a few cans of beer, and sat by the river, sipping on the wine one sip at a time.

"Sorry to involve you in this."

Phoenix's voice, which hadn't appeared for a long time, no longer had the coldness of the past, but was full of apology.

Qiu Rang twitched his lips, "When did you become so humane? According to you, I am the one who will connect with him. Isn't everything I do should be done?"

Fenghuang didn't speak, and Qiu Rang continued to drink silently.

After drinking a can, he reached for a new one, but suddenly felt that there was someone beside him.He was startled, and took a closer look, it was Lian Shaoguang.

He stroked his beating chest and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lian Shaoguang said flatly, "Passing by."

Qiu Rang was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to communicate with Lian Shaoguang.He picked up a can of beer, opened it, and drank it.

In my mind, I asked Fenghuang why he didn't tell himself that Lian Shaoguang was here?

Fenghuang didn't make any excuses, but just told him, "He has followed you all the way since you left the supermarket, and has been watching you for a long time not far away."

Qiu Rang's mood became more complicated, and he drank heavily.

"Having a bad mood?"

Hearing Lian Shaoguang's words, he took a sip of wine and smiled sadly.

"Yeah. Lovelorn." He said nonsense.

"Is that the Rapunzel?"

Qiu Rang almost choked on the intake pipe with a sip of beer, and hurriedly asked, "What Rapunzel?" Why didn't I know there was a Rapunzel? !

"It's the girl with loose hair who used to come to dinner with you all the time."

Oh... Only then did Qiu Rang realize that he was talking about Lin Chuanchuan.Among the five people who ate with him, Miyamoto Sho has bob hair, Zhang Qi has short hair, and the other always wears a ponytail. Only Lin Chuanchuan always wears his waist-length black hair and long straight hair loose.

It turned out that he had been misunderstanding himself and Lin Chuanchuan.

"How do you know? Oh no, why do you think it's her?"

Qiu Rang looked straight at Lian Shaoguang, waiting for an answer.

Unexpectedly, Lian Shaoguang asked back: "Isn't it?"

Not to be outdone, Qiu Rang asked him with a smile, "Do you want it or not?"

Lian Shaoguang suddenly lowered his head, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Qiu Rang raised his head and drank several mouthfuls of wine, before finishing another can.

He wanted to take another can, but was stopped by Lian Shaoguang.

Lian Shaoguang's hand rested on his wrist, revealing a warm body temperature.

He looked up, and suddenly found a slight double image of Lian Shaoguang in his sight.

He wanted to give the other party a smile, but when he pulled the corners of his mouth, he found that the facial muscles were all wooden.

"Are you okay?" Lian Shaoguang asked gently, with a rare worried look on his face.

Qiu Rang suddenly felt aggrieved, his nose felt sore, and an impulse surged up, he opened his arms and hugged Lian Shaoguang.

"The person I like has always been you."

The body in his arms was stiff.

He let go of Lian Shaoguang.With the dim light, he noticed that Lian Shaoguang lowered his eyes and bit his lower lip tightly.

He was afraid that he would bleed if he bit it down again, so he raised his hand to touch that lip, but was avoided.

Lian Shaoguang stood up abruptly and ran away.

He wanted to chase, stood up, sank his head, and fell to the ground with a "boom".

He lay on the ground, feeling useless and aggrieved.Obviously they were in love with each other, but he confessed to the other party but ran away.

The emotions that had been suppressed these days suddenly broke out, and he burst into tears.

When he finally felt comfortable in his heart, he turned over, wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes, and found that Lian Shaoguang who had run away came back at some time and was sitting beside him.

He wanted to cry again, and asked aggrievedly, "Why are you back?"

Lian Shaoguang lowered his head and remained silent, his face buried in the shadows, unable to see his expression.

Qiu Rang sighed, sat up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked, "Have you seen Phoenix?"

Lian Shaoguang slightly raised his head to look at him.

He asked himself and answered: "I have seen it. It is a very arrogant and poisonous phoenix. It always chokes on a word so that I want to kill it. But it is very kind-hearted. He saved my life and said I can save another person. It says that it is a phoenix transformed from the longing of that person's parents. It perches on a plane tree in a small courtyard. It is waiting for that person to come and fulfill his parents' wishes. Complete your mission."

Tears glistened in Lian Shaoguang's eyes, and his lips kept trembling.

Qiu Rang continued: "I have seen the past of that person through the power of the phoenix, and I know how heavy the past he is carrying. I am willing to bear it with him. If you see him, can you tell him and ask him to sit in the yard Come before the demolished sycamore tree is cut down? His parents are waiting for him."

Lian Shaoguang pursed his lips, tears streaming down his face.

Qiu Rang stood up, helped him up as well, and sent him home.

"I'll give you time. But don't forget the deadline."

After speaking, Qiu Rang closed the door, turned and left.

He asked uncertainly: "You said, would he believe me?"

Fenghuang replied listlessly: "I don't know."

He sighed, "That's it."
