Xia Liu did not believe in He Chusan. He knew that He Chusan was sincere to him and would not harm him. But in the minds of the law-abiding good people of He Chusan, right and wrong, justice and morality, whether to "harm" people or "save" people, they don't seem to follow the thinking of the underworld. The more he knew about He Chusan, the more he understood what He Chusan would do for him.
He just hoped that He Chusan would understand that betrayal and persecution of his brother was his biggest taboo and his last bottom line. No matter how much he loved He Chusan, he would not be able to tolerate this step. He hoped that He Chusan would be smart, not to force him to really turn his face, and not to let the relationship between the two of them go nowhere.
The installation of this bug is not so much to suspect that He Chusan is doing a ghost, but to convince himself and make himself feel at ease. He hates this self who has doubts about the people next to his pillow, and only by washing away the suspicion of He Chusan can he be washed away. of unease.
He Chusan went straight to the company by car, exchanged work materials with colleagues downstairs in the company, and then did some paperwork in the office. Promising project. Near noon, he got off the bus at the vegetable market, shouted and made a lot of noise, bought a few crabs and a few vegetables.
Xia Liuyi's eldest brother rang loudly. After connecting, He Chusan sounded with a smile, "Have you woken up? I bought crabs and choy sum, what else do you want to eat? Pork chops okay?"
"Well, pork chops." Xia Liuyi said absently.
He Chusan hung up the phone and began to entangle with a pork hawker. Xia Liuyi put down his eldest brother, picked up the eavesdropping headset again, but started playing with it.
Throughout the morning, He Chusan didn't have any suspicious behavior, but he still felt uneasy in his heart - he still doubted the call last night that didn't say a word after being connected, the phone number ending in 991, he always felt a little bit look familiar.
He called Cui Dongdong and asked her to check Xie Jiahua's information again. When Cui Dongdong's reply came, the eldest brother's bell rang from the eavesdropping earphones on the table at the same time.
He pressed the speakerphone button, and Cui Dongdong's voice sounded together with He Chusan's answer in the earphone.
"Boss, Xie Jiahua's eldest brother's tail number is 991." "Hello? Thank you Sir."
Xia Liuyi swept the earphones to the ground! He closed his eyes and stiffened for a long time, and he felt the icy chill in his blood.
…
He Chusan came back with a bag of ingredients, and tidied up in the kitchen. He didn't see Xia Liuyi for a long time when he got home. He put on an apron and called upstairs, "Brother Liuyi?"
After a long time, Xia Liuyi came out of the bedroom with a cigarette in his mouth and stood on the steps of the second floor, looking down at him expressionlessly.
"Come down for a walk, you haven't had breakfast yet?"
Xia Liuyi went downstairs slowly, leaned against the door of the kitchen, crossed his arms and watched the back of He Chusan chopping vegetables, and smoked silently.
"What's wrong?" He Chusan looked back and saw his absent-minded expression, wiped his hands on the apron, and came up to kiss him.
Xia Liu tilted his head, only let him kiss his cheek, pushed him away with one hand against his chest, and said coldly, "Cook first."
"Hungry?" He Chusan smiled, and then keenly sensed Xia Liuyi's emotions, "Is something wrong? Are you worried about the big scar?"
Xia Liuyi gave a "uh", pushed him away, walked to the sofa, sat down and started watching TV.
This meal was salty and tasteless, He Chusan babbled and laughed, but Xia Liuyi just lowered his head and looked coldly and served the vegetables.
"What happened?" He Chusan asked him for the third time, resting his hands on his cheeks, still calm and concerned.
Xia Liuyi suddenly felt nauseated - Yingdi He's expression on his face was more real than Pearl, as if nothing had happened, but just an hour ago, he just had a phone call with Big Brother Xia's nemesis and agreed to meet in the afternoon.
Since He Chusan called out Sir Xie's name, he was in a turmoil, but he still didn't believe it in his heart. He always felt that there might be other reasons for He Chusan to meet Xie Jiahua, maybe it was just because of Xie Jiahua's coercion. He waited for He Chusan to come back at noon to confess to him, but looking at He Chusan's appearance, he obviously didn't intend to mention it.
Xia Liuyi felt that it was not a little fox but a weasel that he was keeping on the side of the occiput. He tore his heart and lungs fiercely, drank his blood, and then laughed out a row of bloody white teeth.
"It's nothing, I'm in a bad mood," Xia Liuyi stopped his chopsticks and lit a cigarette, "You accompany me to the beach in the afternoon to relax."
He Chusan paused with chopsticks, and then smiled nonchalantly, "I have something to do with the company in the afternoon. Would you like to accompany you in the evening?"
Xia Liuyi looked at him with a gloomy face. He Chusan was calm and natural, still smiling, came up to take the cigarette, and kissed Xia Liuyi on the cheek, "I'll be back as soon as possible, and I'll treat you to western food in the evening?"
Xia Liuyi pulled the corner of his mouth, "Okay."
After eating, He Chusan simply packed up and left in a hurry. Xia Liuyi leaned against the gate and looked at his back, her brows were cold and her figure was bleak, like the original wife who watched her husband go out for fun. He frowned and quickly turned upstairs, hanging the earphones on his head.
He Chusan and Xie Jiahua made an appointment at Honolulu Coffee, not far from the police station, a public place where people come and go. Xie Jiahua was dressed in a meticulous and neat suit, still the same poker face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, silently drinking a glass of white water.
He Chusan pulled out his chair and sat down, ordered a cup of regular coffee, and politely said, "Thank you Sir."
"You and Xia Liuyi are together again." Xie Jiahua said.
"Thank you Sir, public servant of the people. I really care about the private affairs of these citizens." He Chusan smiled.
Xie Jiahua did not treat him politely, and said straight to the point, "The police arrested Xu Jinhe yesterday morning, nicknamed 'Big Scarhead', one of Xia Liuyi's 'Red Sticks', you must know him. Big Scarhead confessed to Xia Liuyi a lot. The crime, just his confession is not enough, I need other insiders to provide information to assist the police to testify."
"Thanks Sir, I'm sorry," He Chusan looked calm, "I don't know anything, so I can't help you."
Xie Jiahua opened the folder and pushed a stack of blurred photos towards him, "Yesterday at 5:15 in the morning, the East Kowloon Division Police Station received an anonymous call from a man who claimed that there was a 'group fight' in Hung Hom. When I arrived, I found that the big scar head was gathering illegally to gamble and carry a large amount of drugs. I investigated the call to the police, and it was from a public telephone, only fifteen minutes away from your company. The surveillance video downstairs of your company shows that , You left the company at five in the morning and didn't come back until seven. You and Xia Liuyi are very close, you have the condition to know, and you have the time to report the case, you made the call to the police. "
He Chusan nodded his thanks to the waiter who put down the coffee, then took a sip and said calmly, "What's the motive? What's my motive for making this call?"
"You were born in Jiaolong Fortress. Both your biological parents and biological parents died due to gang struggles, and you were adopted by dentist He Bingxian. He Bingxian was an honest man who taught you etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. Receiving a first-class scholarship, he is an excellent and upright person. You first interacted with Xia Liuyi because he forced you to write scripts for his film company. In my opinion, you made this call because Xia Liuyi's behavior could not be tolerated. , or you keep approaching Xia Liuyi just to destroy his drug gang."
He Chusan laughed bitterly, rubbed his temples with a headache, and still smiled bitterly, "Thank you Sir, I'm not as noble as you think. Besides, I just found out that my father is not my father. Your news is really exciting. ."
He picked up the photos on the table and looked at them one by one, and said, "These photos can only show that I left the company at five o'clock. I was working all night, and the next day I had to invite customers to have morning tea. I was going back to Abba's house in Kowloon Tong. I went to take a shower and change my clothes. You can look for the surveillance video near the Star Ferry Pier around 5:15. I crossed the sea from there and returned to Tsim Sha Tsui at that time, and it is impossible to appear in Causeway Bay at the same time. The police call you mentioned was not from me. of."
"Also," he sighed, "the people under Brother Liuyi all talk about what they call 'the morality of the rivers and lakes', and the big scarhead won't open his mouth easily. You just said that he 'confessed his guilt', you just wanted to take my word for it. ."
Xie Jiahua's face sank, looked at him for a while, and said, "Can you really tolerate Xia Liuyi's dirty deeds? The big scar head has been arrested, and a door has been opened, as long as you cooperate a little bit, you can Completely destroy this criminal gang, you really don't want to help me?"
He Chusan sighed, "Thank you Sir, you don't get much from Da Scarhead, otherwise you don't need to ask me for help. As for me, I do have some differences with him on the concept of right and wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have done it last time. Will be left by him on the side of the road. But I told you, I'm a selfish man—I know what he's taboo, and I don't want him to hate me."
He put down the coffee cup and said to Sir Xie with a wry smile, "Sir Xie, I have always admired you, and I wish Hong Kong would become a clean and peaceful civilized society. Saying that I am hypocritical, selfish or cowardly, I can only retreat like this, I'm sorry. Please don't contact me in the future, I'm afraid Brother Liuyi will misunderstand. "
There was a rustling noise in the eavesdropping earphone, and it sounded like he stepped back from the chair and stood up and left the coffee shop. Xia Liu took off his headphones with a complicated expression, stared at the corner for a while, then lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
He took a few puffs of cigarettes in silence, and suddenly gave himself a big slap!
…
Near six o'clock, He Chusan drove a white business car to the village house to pick up Xia Liuyi for dinner. Anan, who was guarding the door, greeted, "Mr. He, drive a new car?"
"The manager's car, he went on a business trip to Europe these days, and lent it to me." He Chusan laughed. When he passed by the hair salon, he also specially made a handsome little split, which was popular nowadays, and a large scarf was sneakily covering the back seat of the car.
Xia Liuyi arrived late, hurriedly wearing a tie as he walked, looked up and saw He Chusan's "new car", he was stunned for a moment.
"He elite, have you bought a car?" he wondered.
"Lend it from my manager," He Chusan said with a smile, "get on the bus, I made a reservation at the Terrace Restaurant, so I have to hurry."
Big Brother Xia grumbled and got on the car, pulling his tie uncomfortably, "It's not like you haven't eaten Western food, what are you doing so formally?"
He Chusanguang looked at him and smiled, frowned suddenly, and touched his left cheek, "What's the red mark here? Who hit you?"
Xia Liuyi coughed awkwardly and shook off his hand, "Sleep, drive!"
He Chusan also held his face and looked at it carefully. Anan Assen, who was guarding the door, saw this blatant show of affection, lest he would be seen by the policeman who was watching in the house across the street, and he reminded him with a loud cough. Big Brother Xia was so angry that he slapped He Elite on the forehead, "Will you go? You don't let me go!"
He Chusan looked left and right while driving, and saw that the car being tracked by the police was thrown some distance away—at least he couldn’t see what was going on inside the car—so he asked Mr. Xia to help hold the steering wheel, and turned around to open the big wheel on the back seat. The gauze, the rich floral fragrance suddenly filled the entire carriage.
"Fuck!" Xia Liu shook his hand and almost lost his grip on the steering wheel, "He's surnamed He, what are you doing?"
He Chusan walked back slowly, and stuffed a large handful of bright red roses into his arms, "For you."
For the first time in his life, Mr. Xia was given flowers. Holding this thing was like holding a bag of dynamite. His old face suddenly became hot, "What are you doing? Are you disgusting?"
"What's disgusting?" He Chusan felt aggrieved, "The rose represents my heart."
"Nasty, shut up." Xia Liuyi said in a grumpy tone, and He Chusan glanced at the corner of his eyes—Boss Xia blushed like an apple.
"Pfft..."
"… "
"It hurts! I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't laugh anymore! Stop kicking me and I'm going to crash..."
The two sat facing the sea in the terrace restaurant. Xia Liu left the disgraceful roses and red face in the car together. While cutting the steak carelessly, he raised his eyes and glanced at He Chusan—He Elite rested his cheeks in both hands. Smiling, she stared at him without moving.
Xia Liuyi finally couldn't help but slapped the knife and fork, leaned back on the chair, crossed his hands and said, "Tell me, what are you doing today? Sneaky!"
"Brother Liuyi, have you forgotten? Today is April 16." He Chusan smiled.
Xia Liuyi thought about it for a while and couldn't remember what festival it was, "So what?"
He Chusan raised three fingers, "Three years ago, just today, you let me be arrested to write the script."
"..." Xia Liuyi was silent for a while, then said speechlessly, "That's all?"
"The anniversary of the first meeting, a big event." He Chusan was serious.
"Are you a little girl in middle school? What is there to commemorate?!"
"Hey," He Chusan thought of himself happily, "it's quite memorable, Brother Liuyi. You said that when you saw me coming out of the sack, what was your first impression?"
Xia Liuyi chuckled disdainfully, "Yellow-haired boy."
He Chusan looked at him as a nympho, holding his cheeks to himself, "I thought at the time, is this a triad? How can it be so 'beautiful'?"
"Humph."
"Then you asked me to write the script and sat at my table eating beef offal. I often watched and thought, this ass is so small and round, I really want to mention it..."
"He, Ah, three," Xia Liuyi squeezed his fork, "don't think I dare not beat you in public."
He Chusan changed his mind and changed the subject with a smile, "I may have been naturally interested in men, and I fell in love with you at first sight, so it was the first time I met you that I liked you so much, although I soon found out that you are a bully, ahem... But it happened later. Many things, you save me, protect me, take care of me."
—Trust me, tolerate me, love me, spoil me, tell me your secrets, cry in front of me, allow me to accompany you when you are sad, and sleep in my arms when drunk.
"You also took me to the movies, took me to eat western food, took me to play pool, took me to the seaside barbecue, kissed me in the hospital..."
Xia Liuyi coughed unnaturally and shoved a large piece of steak into his mouth in disguise - he said it as if I was provoking you all the time!
"Are you with me? Brother Liuyi," He Chusan said, slowly pushing a small box with delicate packaging in front of Xia Liuyi, "I love you."
Xia Liuyi held his fork, and there was a sliver of steak at the corner of his mouth. He was hit by the unexpected confession, and after a while of sluggishness, he wriggled his throat and tried to make a sound, but he was choked by a mouthful of beef.
"Cough cough cough... cough... Damn, what's the numbness," he swallowed the beef in embarrassment, only to feel that his cheeks were about to melt, and he started to stutter a little, "Fuck you, don't you all live in my house? Yet?"
What are you talking about together, we have lived together before, and then "together", what the fuck, what kind of ring are you going to give? This is for... Is this a proposal for marriage
He put down his fork and opened the box with a flushed face—and then turned green.
There was only a low-quality Jade Buddha in it.
"… "
Xia Liuyi turned the box around speechlessly, faced He Chusan, and asked him, "What is this?"
"Lantau Island is asking you to consecrate the Buddha," He Chusan said with a face full of innocence, "I originally wanted to buy a ring, but I heard from my dad that the grocery store was going to expand, so I gave him the money first."
"… "
- Is there anyone you fucking woo with a cheap jade Buddha? ! He said a lot of shit, opened the box and showed Lao Tzu a worthless green fat man? ! Throwing the street! !
The impoverished elite He, who had given paper cakes as a birthday present, said rather shyly, "It's not about the form, it's about the heart. You take this first, and I'll supply it to you next year."
- Make up for your mother!
Big Brother Xia put the Jade Buddha in his pocket with a dark face, and wanted to hit him with a knife, but seeing his affectionate and innocent face, he couldn't do it after all.
He Chusan, who escaped death, was very excited, "Then we are officially together?"
"Then how do you want to be together? Going to Europe for a honeymoon?"
"Cough, that depends on whether I can ask for leave at the end of the year, and we will go when you come. I rent a house in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is near your 'company' and the Star Ferry Pier. You go to the company and I cross the sea to work. It's very convenient. You can move here, okay?"
Xia Liuyi stared at him with a dark face, He Chusan was full of anticipation, and smiled at him with pure and honest white teeth.
"Take me to see it later." Xia Liu said.
He Chusan rented a two-bedroom, one-bedroom apartment in a half-old apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui. He said it had a living room, a study and a bedroom. There was a private rooftop on the roof where you could watch the night view and self-service barbecue. When Xia Liuyi inspected the site, it was only a small room bigger than the leaky house he rented in the Western District. It was still very cramped and shabby.
"Working overtime these few days, I haven't come to clean the roof in a hurry," He Chusan said, "Go ahead and sit in the room."
The interior of the room is neat and tidy. The walls and ceiling have been repainted. The windows are adorned with red window grilles made by Dad He. The fabric sofas and tablecloths and curtains are warm camel yellow. The floor lights are ambiguous and quiet. Pajamas and slippers, sofa cushions, kitchen tableware, bathroom toothbrushes, everything is for two people.
"Stinky boy," Xia Liuyi scolded while looking around, "You planned this long ago? When did you rent it?"
"Last month. This place is convenient for both of our businesses."
Xia Liuyi snorted from his nose, "It's too young, don't think I'll live."
"Go into the bedroom and see?" He Chusan coaxed.
Xia Liuyi scolded and disliked it very much, and finally went to the bedroom with the same pair of slippers as He Chusan.
Pushing open the half-closed door and turning on the floor lamp, the bright yellow light illuminated the whole room, and he was stunned.
There is a half-height poster hanging on the wall. A young girl smiles happily towards the camera. She holds a large hand of gypsophila in her arms, wears a white gauze skirt, and has long black hair in a beautiful tail. braids, the background is a sea of green flowers.
The poster from about ten years ago has turned yellow. It is the only album poster that Xia Xiaoman has released since he learned to sing. The sales are not high, there is no second one, it is a limited edition. Because Qinglong Xiaoman's villa was burned down when he died, even Xia Liuyi couldn't keep a copy as a souvenir.
Xia Liuyi stood there in a daze, staring at Xiaoman's innocent smile that had not yet been soaked in by the pain and suffering that followed, and the hand that pressed the light switch trembled slightly.
"I have a colleague who is a record collector. I happened to buy this one. He gave me the record too. Would you like to listen to it now?" He Chusan whispered behind his ear.
Xia Liuyi snapped the switch and pushed He Chusan onto the bed in the darkness!
