Destiny is really unfair, and he obviously hurt his head. He Chusan had to wrap an Indian Asam head, but Xia Liuyi only needed a Band-Aid. When he came to visit the studio the next day, the word "Xia" was written crookedly on the band-aid. He Chusan felt extremely stupid, but all the younger brothers praised in unison, "Brother Liuyi! You are stylish!"
Xia Liuyi sat cross-legged on the table, skillfully forked Yumong Siu Mai with his left hand, and couldn't help giving He Chusan a blank look, "What are you looking at?!"
He Chusan stared at his zongzi's right hand and the mummy's right arm, swallowed, and asked boldly, "Does it hurt?"
"Do you think it hurts?! Do you want to chop your hand off and try?! All the bullshit!"
"How is your sister?"
Xia Liu made a move, his face was a little cold.
"Is 'sister-in-law' okay?" He Chusan immediately changed his words.
Xia Liuyi forked another siu mai, but still didn't speak.
He Chusan swallowed again, observed his words, and felt that although he was not very happy, there was little chance that he would suddenly break out and beat him, so he boldly continued, "Thank you for yesterday."
"Boy," Xia Liuyi finally said, looking very impatient.
He Chusan opened his eyes wide and waited for his next sentence.
"Don't be too sentimental. You do things for me, you are my horse boy, and I should take care of my brother. When you finish writing this script, we will have nothing to do with each other. Even if you die on the side of the road, I won't even look at it. So shut up now, Lao Tzu! One more word of nonsense, and your tongue will be pulled out!"
"..." He Chusan, who was really paying his ass.
A villain is a villain, and if you save your life, you won't become a good person - such a simple and popular truth, he only understands it now.
So he stopped talking, and continued to bury his head gloomily in writing the dialogue. The beautiful heroine was tied on the high platform, crying and saying to the male lead who was fighting bloody under the stage, don't fight anymore, for me, is it worth it? The male protagonist vomited blood and said, for you, everything is worth it.
Shit, you think he likes you, he just likes fighting! —He Chusan silently scolded the first swear word in his life.
Forgive him, as a pure white piece of paper, he has been depraved in such a dark place for the past few weeks.
…
After Xia Xiaoman made a scene on the set that day, he didn't come for a week. It sounded like nothing was wrong on the phone, but Xia Liuyi was still worried. On this day, he took a long time to spare, left Jiaolong Fortress, and deliberately went to see her at the villa of Qinglong boss by the sea.
Xia Xiaoman didn't expect him to come, she didn't wear any makeup, she wore transparent pajamas and looked melancholy, as if she could be blown away by the sea breeze at any time.
"Where's Da?" Xia Liuyi asked.
"Go out," Xia Xiaoman said, leaning softly on her brother's back, his eyes dull, "He never comes back."
"Da is very busy," Xia Liuyi patted her arm.
"What about you? You're also very busy, and you don't always come to see me."
Xia Liuyi patted her again, "Didn't I come here? When you want to see me, give me a call and I'll come right away."
On the pretext of going to the toilet, he went out to call the housekeeper secretly, "Has Madam taken medicine recently?"
"Eat it, Brother Liuyi."
"Really? She didn't throw it away?"
"No, Madam was very obedient when she took medicine recently."
When he turned back, Xia Xiaoman was lying on the windowsill like a ghost, spreading his arms on his toes, like a thin white swan.
"Did you ask them about their medicines?" she said, "I take them well."
Xia Liuyi hugged her.
"I'm really obedient," Xia Xiaoman leaned against his arms, raised his head, and fiddled with his eyelashes, "I'm fine, but I'm upset. I'm upset, why do you always give me medicine? I take it as a lunatic, if I'm upset you never come, I'm upset about him..."
Her expression changed suddenly, and she burst into tears, "Woo woo! Ah Liu! Tell me honestly! Is there someone out there? Woo woo... What's wrong with me, what did I do wrong, why did he want to? like someone else…”
Xia Liuyi patted her on the back, "He has no one outside, he is really busy."
"You lied to me," Xia Xiaoman cried more and more, "I don't blame you, I know you don't want me to be sad, you help him lie to me... If he has no one outside, why doesn't he love me... "
"Did you know? Ah Liu," she raised her head suddenly, her face full of mystery, her eyes were blank and dull, and tightly grasped Xia Liuyi's arm, "he rarely hugs me, when he hugs me, I Look at him very carefully, he is thinking of others! He must be thinking of others! He can only hug me if he thinks of others! Who are you calling that bitch, that vixen! How is she better than me! What did I do wrong? what..."
"Sister..." Xia Liuyi stopped her madness and pressed her face into his chest. He sighed and stroked her hair, "Sister, you really think too much, you are tired, sleep for a while. Right. I'm here to accompany you, and I won't go anywhere until Ah Da comes back, okay?"
…
In the middle of the night, Xia Xiaoman wrapped in a quilt, curled up into a ball and fell asleep. Xia Liuyi walked out of the room in the dark, gently closed the door, and went downstairs to sit in the living room to smoke.
The roar of the car engine came from outside the door, and soon after, Qinglong walked in with a few bodyguards.
Seeing him here, Qinglong's eyes showed a little surprise. He waved his hand calmly, and the bodyguards dispersed.
"Why are you here?" he said. "I heard you were injured?"
Xia Liuyi looked up at him, scratched his hair with the bandaged hand, and said nothing.
Qinglong didn't mind, he gently took off his suit jacket and put it on him, and said, "It's so late, don't go back, go to the guest room to sleep."
Xia Liuyi put on his warm coat, took two more puffs of cigarettes in silence, and asked, "Da, can you be nice to her?"
Qinglong's movements paused, "I tried my best."
"You didn't," Xia Liuyi said irritably, slamming the cigarette butt on the coffee table, "Look at what she looks like now!"
Two bodyguards ran in at the door, watching Xia Liuyi alertly.
Qinglong waved his hands indifferently, and they retreated again.
Qinglong sat down beside Xia Liuyi, "I have given her the best life, I will give her everything she wants, and she has everything a woman needs."
"That's not what a woman needs! You know that! Can you really..."
"I can't." Qinglong said.
"You..." Xia Liuyi clenched his fists suddenly.
Qinglong just looked at him silently.
Xia Liuyi was full of guilt and did not dare to look at him. He lowered his head and took a deep breath, "... spend more time with her, okay?"
Qinglong stood up, "It's too late, go to bed. Ah Hao, prepare the guest room."
Xia Liuyi chased after him and grabbed his arm, "That's all I want! Spend more time with her! Can you?!"
Qinglong stopped his steps expressionlessly. After a long time, he sighed, his expression returned to his previous gentleness and calmness, and he turned around and rubbed Xia Liuyi's hair.
"As long as Ah Da can do it, why didn't he promise you? I'll accompany her more. Now, go to sleep."
He broke Xia Liuyi's hand.
…
He Chusan was sitting upright at the table with his pen in his hand, burying his head in writing. Not far from the book is Xia Liuyi's buttocks tightly wrapped in jeans. If you look up, you can still see his thin and strong waist.
Xia Liuyi didn't notice He Chusan's eyes moving up and down. He was looking at Xia Xiaoman with a smile on the corner of his mouth, listening to her.
Xia Xiaoman came back to film. Her role today is to go on a date with the male lead to watch the stars on the roof, so she dresses like a flower. She smiled like a flower and hung softly on Xia Liuyi's body, "He accompanied me to Repulse Bay for western food yesterday."
"Is it fun?"
"it is good."
"what did you eat?"
"steak."
He Chusan listened to this unnutritious conversation silently, and felt that this pair of siblings was too ambiguous. How could ordinary siblings hug each other like this, but Xia Liuyi was more like a brother who spoiled his sister.
He buried his head and wrote a few lines of words, and after a while, he became distracted, and turned his eyes to the side of the book - Xia Liuyi's butt.
So small, so round, so round... I really want to give it a punch!
He Chusan was terrified by the violent thought in his heart, hurriedly shook his head, and continued to wave the pen.
…
Half a month later, the filming of the film was finally completed, and He Chusan was able to regain his freedom, and was packed by several big men and sent home to a nearby dark alley. Before leaving, a big man stopped him fiercely and handed him a thick paper bag, "Brother Liuyi gave you the manuscript fee."
He Chusan ran home out of breath, wrapped the paper on the bed, spread it out, and counted the whole 20,000 yuan by the faint candle light!
On top of him and Dad's living expenses for a whole year!
He Chusan couldn't believe it, took the money back into the paper bag, and rolled twice on the bed with the bag in his arms. Stop suddenly.
The money is given by the underworld. Selling white noodles, opening gambling stalls, opening nightclubs, killing people and setting fires... He worked for the underworld and took so much money. What is the difference between him and those "fan stalls" on Guangming Street in the city
Dad taught him not to be involved in the underworld since he was a child, grandma... Dad said that he died because of the underworld.
He Chusan's beating little heart suddenly cooled down. He curled up into a ball and sat on the bed for a while. He climbed out of the bed, rummaged through the boxes and found the small iron box that kept various certificates and certificates when he was a child, and folded the bag of money. It was crumpled and stuffed inside.
He missed a whole month of classes, and even missed a few quizzes, almost being repeated. But when he took off his shirt in the office, revealing the sparse scars on his chest and arms, even the principal couldn't help but sighed, letting him recover from his injuries and make up for his homework as soon as possible. He knew that this student with excellent academic performance came from Jiaolong Fortress, and he must have encountered some injustice and had unspeakable difficulties. The Jiaolong Fortress is a famous black area, and it is useless to call the police. The black police outside the city have long been in contact with the big guys in the city, and the detective is the big brother's brother.
What's more, He Chusan's name is still well-known on the posters of Xiaoqi's new movie, the screenwriter He Chusan! -Fortunately, his dentist father likes to listen to Cantonese opera and read newspapers.
He Chusan continued to live his ordinary life, carrying a small schoolbag every day to go to school for classes and self-study, and then go home to sleep in the dark in the evening. The only difference is that he works at the Ohua Ice Room next door three nights a week and on weekends to earn tuition and miscellaneous fees, and learns Tai Chi with Uncle Ohua.
Uncle Ah Hua came from the mainland in the 1960s, claiming to be the fourth generation descendant of Yang Style Taijiquan. He Chusan's muscles and bones were evacuated, congenital insufficiency, and worse the day after tomorrow. After a month or two of study, he was unable to play half a set of boxing, but every morning he squatted for an hour and slowly pushed his arms and legs to strengthen his body. Fitness and peace of mind.
On his side, the waves were calm, while on Xia Liuyi's side, the wind was rising. After the last time he swept a few stalls of the Shajiabang, he opened a high-end nightclub in Mong Kok, singing and dancing all night, and all kinds of snakes and mice gathered together. After gaining a firm foothold, with Qinglong's consent, he planned to open several new large discos as his own "white noodles" retail locations, vowing to make the already smoky entertainment industry even more smoky.
…
On this day, he invited a few detectives to dinner in the private room of his nightclub. There was a table of Yingying Yanyan, and a cup was placed. It was the time of celebration, and the pony rolled in.
Xia Liuyi made an apologetic gesture to the detectives and followed the pony to the corridor.
"Brother Liuyi, Brother Xu brought someone here."
Xia Liu expressionlessly pinched his cigarette. Before he could speak, a large group of people came noisy from the other side of the corridor. A few security guards under Xia Liuyi were standing in front of them. After a few words, a security guard flew over and thumped Xia Liu. one foot.
"Brother Xu." Xia Liuyi looked at the man in the suit who kicked him first.
The man has a pair of sharp eagle eyes. At first glance, he looks dignified, but the whole person reveals a sinister aura, like a jackal.
"Liu, this is your fault," Xu Ying took out a cigarette, and the younger brother next to him immediately lit it for him, "Invite Detective Hua to dinner, why didn't you call me?"
Xia Liuyi squeezed the little brother's hand and lit a cigarette for Xu Ying in person. He admitted his mistake with a correct attitude, "Brother Xu, I think you are too busy. Besides, Detective Hua just came to our nightclub to sit and have a meal. potluck."
Xu Ying smiled, "Snack."
He pushed Xia Liuyi away and walked in, laughing and greeting, "Long time no see! Inspector Hua! Oh, Inspector Liu is also here! This is... oh! Inspector Xu of Xin Gaoqian! Hahaha! Good to meet you! Good luck!"
Several of the detectives were old acquaintances with him, and they were not unhappy when they saw him suddenly intruding. They poured wine glasses and politely said, "Detective Hua is so interested! Why haven't you come to my place recently? Sit down?"
"Promise," Inspector Hua, also an old fox, took the cigar he handed over, tilted his head and let him light it, smiling, "This is what you said, it's your Qinglong boss's territory, where are you going? Don't you sit?"
Xu Ying laughed loudly, "Inspector Hua said it well! It's all the territory of our Xiaoqitang, and Inspector Hua can sit wherever he likes! Come on, Inspector Hua, I'll give you a toast! Hahaha!"
A few of them were chatting happily inside, but Xia Liuyi was not in a hurry to go in, and after smoking a cigarette in the corridor, he called the pony over, "How did Xu Ying know that I invited Detective Hua to dinner? You handed the invitation. How many people did you notify?"
"This..." Xiaoma said, "could it be the brothers present today? Everyone watched Inspector Hua come in."
"No, the promise came too quickly, so you must have been prepared. There was a thorn in the people yesterday, you go check it out."
"Yes."
Xu Ying had a cordial exchange with several detectives. Xia Liuyi invited everyone to dinner and instantly became the junior of Xu’s deputy head, Xia Xiaoliu. Xia Xiaoliu was ordered to invite everyone to dinner, which fully confirmed Xu Ying’s second position in the cavalry hall. status. After showing his sovereignty, he assumed that something was up, toasted each, and walked away.
Xia Liuyi sent him away as usual, and went into the room as if nothing had happened to fill the vacancy, "Several detectives, not only have a good time drinking, but also have a good time! I have reserved a private room for everyone in the 'Tanxiang Pavilion'. Go to have fun later?"
…
Sandalwood Court is a high-end business club located in Kowloon Tong under Xiaoqitang. It is not open to the general public and only entertains members. The membership gold card is personally issued by the general manager Cui Dongdong, most members swipe the card, and some members swipe their face.
Xia Liuyi didn't even need to brush his face, Cui Dongdong called someone to pick him up at the door of the clubhouse early in the morning. A group of people walked in surrounded by a few detectives, and the prostitute came up to greet them, and more than a dozen popular social girls stood in a row with their heads and postures, and they were on-demand.
Xia Liuyi respectfully sent several inspectors into the room, and turned back to Cui Dongdong, "Promise to step on my field today."
Cui Dongdong said "Oh?", took the cigarette he handed over, the two nodded their heads and walked side by side to the office.
The younger brother opened the door for them, then closed it from the outside. The two of them sat on the sofa facing each other, and lit a cigarette at the tea time. Xia Liu said, "I suspect that I have someone under him. You should be careful when you come close to me. I can't stand him anymore. , I want to find a chance to turn against him."
Cui Dongdong is in his twenties, he wears a pair of sunglasses, has a high nose, and combs his head like a pony. He looked like a shrewd and capable boss, but his lips were reddish and there was a strange dissonance.
He exhaled his cigarette and took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome but slightly delicate appearance. Then he leaned back on the sofa, put his hands behind his head, his shirt was slightly open, revealing the corset on his chest - it turned out to be "she".
"What's Qinglong's attitude?" she said, her voice was naturally hoarse and low, and her androgynous.
Xia Liuyi breathed out a cigarette, "A-Da also wants to suppress him, otherwise he won't send me to manage the nightclub."
"That's not necessarily true," Cui Dongdong said, "Qinglong is willing to give you anything, maybe it's just pampering you."
Xia Liuyi suddenly raised his head and stared at her with a cold look in his eyes. Cui Dongdong shrugged innocently, "Just kidding."
"Be careful about this," Cui Dongdong continued, "Xu Ying and Qinglong are brothers from childhood to adulthood. They have been with Qinglong for 20 years. They made great contributions to Qinglong in those years, and they have a lot of prestige in the gang. Qinglong has not yet Make it clear that Xu Ying is always the deputy head, and you can't openly oppose him."
"If I turn against Xu Ying, who will Cheng Dazui stand on?" Xia Liuyi asked her.
Cheng Dazui, famously known as Cheng Siquan, was the "Straw Shoes" of Xiaoqitang at that time. Among the younger generation of Xiaoqitang, although his ability, status, and popularity are slightly inferior to Xia Liuyi and Cui Dongdong, he is still a considerable force.
"Cheng Dazui?" Cui Dongdong shrugged again, "I haven't heard from him for a few days, I don't know where he died - maybe he really died."
Xia Liuyi smoked silently.
"Okay," Cui Dongdong said, "I'll go to Dazui to help you find out. Don't worry, with Qinglong around, Xu Ying won't dare to touch you no matter what."
"It doesn't matter to me, I'm afraid that he will get bigger and bigger and attack Ah Da."
"Where did he come from so bold!" Cui Dongdong said.
Xia Liuyi shook his head, "Promise this person is too selfish and has to guard against it."
"By the way, how has Xiaoman been recently?"
Xia Liu glanced at her, "It's okay, it's more stable than before."
"My subordinates brought back some calming incense from Thailand, you help me bring it back to her." Cui Dongdong said.
Xia Liuyi didn't tell her that Xia Xiaoman didn't even open the thing she sent last time, it was already rotten in the closet, she just clicked her chin, "En."
"Xiao He is waiting for you, go or not?"
"Um."
…
Xiao He stood quietly at the door of the private room, and when he saw Xia Liuyi bringing a few younger brothers over, he bowed his head and bowed to say hello. Xia Liuyi waved his hand to disperse the people, and hugged her into the room.
Xia Liuyi was her frequent visitor, or in other words, Xia Liuyi entered her room. Usually once or twice a month, not very frequent, but there must be every month. Cui Dongdong once instigated Xia Liuyi to just wrap her up, but Xia Liuyi said that he accumulated too much hatred and that wrapping her up would only hurt her.
They showered and changed clothes one after the other, Xiao He turned on the record player on the bedside table, and the two went to bed.
- Then lie on your back and listen to music.
Yes, her task was to just lie here and listen to music for two hours with Xia Liuyi. From Audrey Hepburn's "MoonRiver" to Danfog Berton's "Longer". They couldn't understand a single word of the lyrics, but it didn't matter, as long as the tune was nice.
She was a person from Jiaolong Fortress. She was rescued by Xia Liuyi when she was beaten by a few gangsters. She is loyal to Xia Liuyi, sensible and silent, without any curiosity, and never asks Xia Liuyi why she doesn't touch her - is it because of a hidden illness or no interest in women. They lie down in this room every month, and each takes what they need. Xia Liuyi needs her guise, and she needs Xia Liuyi's shelter. Because of Xia Liuyi's relationship, Cui Dongdong treats her very well and gives her double the monthly share. Even so, she didn't tell Cui Dongdong the truth, she didn't tell anyone, she was going to take this secret to the grave.
The melodious and gentle female voice on the record player washed away Xia Liuyi's exhaustion. He stretched his legs, put his arms behind his head, let out a long breath, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
On the other end, four or five kilometers away, in Jiaolong Fortress, He Chusan was also sleeping in his clothes, extremely peaceful. He just finished last month's wages today. At this rate, he should be able to save half of the tuition before the next semester starts. The rest can only be asked for by Dad and borrowed from the neighbors. Abba won't blame him, he will use the money to study hard, he believes that he is studying the best major, as long as he graduates, he can make a lot of money to repay Abba.
His dream is completely different from Xia Liuyi. There is no open and secret struggle, no love and hatred, no dark past and chaotic present, no unspeakable love and unavoidable catastrophe. There are only beautiful dreams about the future. A future of peace, serenity, and innocence.
