A year later, Xiao Cheng was released from prison.
On the day he was released from prison, Qin Mu personally drove to pick him up.
The exaggerated hairstyle in the past was shaved into a small crew cut, and the scum that had not been shaved off appeared on the originally clean chin. Xiao Cheng's clothes were untidy, and his face was haggard and dull. After all, the dazzling star on the stage in the past has finally become past tense.
Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes, looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky.
He was finally released from prison, but no one came to greet him. Those scenes of being embraced by fans at the airport seemed to be from another world. Obviously only three years have passed.
Didi.
The sudden sound of steam caught his attention, Xiao Cheng followed the sound, and when he saw Qin Mu's familiar and handsome face, he was silent for a moment, then walked slowly towards Qin Mu's direction. God really treated Qin Mu very kindly. He is a 41-year-old man. Not only does his face show no obvious signs of the passage of time, but he is becoming more and more attractive to a mature man.
Three years later, when Xiao Cheng saw Qin Mu, the man who sent him to prison, his heart still felt moved. As he got closer, he found that Qin Mu hadn't changed much from three years ago. On the other hand, in just three years, he had changed so much.
Qin Mu nodded, "Get in the car."
Xiao Cheng silently walked to the side of the co-pilot, opened the door, bent down and got into the car.
Passing him a bottle of mineral water, Qin Mu pretended nothing happened and asked, "Are you hungry? I know there is a good restaurant nearby."
Xiao Cheng moved his lips, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I didn't expect you to come to pick me up." At the beginning until he was imprisoned, this cruel man never came to see him. Unexpectedly, he was released from prison. Qin Mu finally gave up. Coming to see him, Xiao Cheng thought sarcastically, Qin Mu picked this opportunity to come here to see his jokes.
I heard Qin Mu's calm words in my ears: "The grievances between us were written off when you were in prison. As your ex-boyfriend, you have been released from prison, so I should come to pick you up."
Xiao Cheng looked indifferent, from the time he walked out of the prison to when he got into Qin Mu's car, the expression on his face did not change at all. He was like a puppet without emotions, only his eyeballs were alive. He slowly rolled his dark eyes, and when his eyes fell on the men's ring on Qin Mu's ring finger, he paused and asked suddenly, "Are you married?"
Qin Mu glanced at the ring on his hand. He didn't like to wear any jewelry. This ring was insisted on by Ling Yang, who insisted on wearing it. It is said that it was a unique pair of couple rings in the world that Ling Yang ordered exclusively.
"I have received the certificate, but I haven't held a banquet yet." Qin Mu twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile: "The wedding is scheduled for the end of this month, do you have time? I want to invite you to my wedding." Qin Mu To postpone the wedding is to wait for this day.
He was already prepared in his heart to be rejected by Xiao Cheng, and thought of many reasons to persuade Xiao Cheng to attend his wedding.
However, Xiao Cheng was only silent for a second, then nodded and agreed: "I have nothing now, only time."
Qin Mu put away the surprise on his face calmly, and said with a smile: "It's great that you can come."
Then the car became quiet again, Qin Mu concentrated on driving, Xiao Cheng quietly looked at the receding scenery outside the window, he finally smelled the free air. After about twenty minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of an antique restaurant. Qin Mu led Xiao Cheng to the box he had reserved earlier, and then greeted the boss to serve the food.
The food in the prison was not good, and Xiao Cheng didn't care about his image when he watched the delicate delicacies being served on the table, he picked up the chopsticks and started to gobble it up. The food stuffed his cheeks, and his mouth was stained with oil. The young man in front of him was not as proud as before. Seeing Xiao Cheng's decrepit appearance, Qin Mu didn't feel the pleasure of revenge. The young man could have a bright future, but he made it to this point step by step.
However, Xiao Cheng used to have a good relationship with investors and the media. Even if he can't return to the previous heights, it is still possible to earn a small amount of money to support himself in the entertainment industry.
"Xu Yibai has signed a contract with Morningside, and now he is the most popular young student in Morningside."
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng stopped the chopsticks in his hand.
He took out a card from his pocket and put it in Xiao Cheng's hand, Qin Mu continued: "This is Xu Yibai's new number, you can contact him." He still remembers when he asked Xu Yibai for his number , the flattered look on Xu Yibai's face, I really didn't expect that he would lose to Xu Yibai when he lost his memory.
Xiao Cheng slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, and put the card away.
After dinner, Qin Mu handed the wedding invitation to Xiao Cheng, which contained a small wad of money.
When getting into the car, Xiao Cheng stopped him from behind, with love and hate in his eyes, and his voice was so hoarse that it was almost shrill, "Qin Mu, don't think that I will be grateful to you."
Qin Mu didn't look back, "I don't need your gratitude either."
When the car was out of his sight, Xiao Cheng lowered his head, his indifferent expression loosened a bit, and a trace of distorted hatred gradually appeared, he tightly clenched the gold-plated wedding invitation in his hand, his heart was already numb with pain. He stood there for a long time, until his legs started to feel sore, he dragged his feet and went to the business hall to pay the phone bill first.
After recharging the phone bill, he took out the small card Qin Mu gave him and dialed the number on it.
At the same time, Qin Mu received a call from Ling Yang, "Did the wedding invitation be delivered to Xiao Cheng?"
"Give it."
"Then come here quickly, the suit to be worn at the wedding has been ordered."
Qin Mu: "Okay, I'll come right away."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mu seemed to have thought of something, and a cruel smile curled up on the corner of his mouth. He has always been good at guessing people's hearts. He knew that Xiao Cheng would definitely go to Xu Yibai, but Xiao Cheng has nothing now, his appearance has declined, and he has long lost the brilliance he once had. Is he single-minded towards Xiao Cheng like that
We must know that the human heart is the most fickle.
On this side, Xiao Cheng followed the address Xu Yibai said on the phone to look for it. Xu Yibai is very busy, and now he is busy filming. After filming, he has to go to Country M to shoot commercials. He directly asked Xiao Cheng to find him on the set. When Xiao Cheng got there, Xu Yibai's assistant was already waiting for him.
"Yibai is still filming, you go and sit in his nanny's car first." The assistant looked Xiao Cheng up and down, maybe Xiao Cheng's appearance was too rough at this time, he didn't recognize Xiao Cheng, just a little He glanced at his clothes in distaste.
After getting into the nanny car, the assistant was afraid that Xiao Cheng would dirty the car seat, so he took out a newspaper and threw it to Xiao Cheng, "You need to cushion it first before sitting down." Xu Yibai only told him that he was a friend who didn't have a deep relationship. Seeing that this man is dressed so poorly, there is no need for him to be respectful to him.
Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment, and spread out the newspaper. A piece of news in the newspaper hurt his eyes. This newspaper was an old newspaper from three years ago, and it recorded in detail the whole story of his car accident.
He waited for more than an hour.
When Xu Yibai got into the car, Xiao Cheng stood up from his seat, a little emotionally excited: "Yibai, I'm back." Maybe just when Xu Yibai was being praised by the company again, Xu Yibai faded from the original greenness, and the whole Popularity is different.
Contrary to Xiao Cheng's excitement, Xu Yibai's reaction was extremely cold, and he only let out a faint oh. He sat down opposite to Xiao Cheng, raised his head, and saw Xiao Cheng's down-and-out appearance in his eyes. At the end, he asked, "What do you want from me?"
This sentence was polite and alienated, like pouring cold water on Xiao Cheng, he opened his mouth and said softly, "I'll come to see you."
"Oh, is that so?" Xu Yibai twitched the corners of his mouth, "Then you can see now that I have lived a good life for the past three years."
Xiao Cheng has always regarded Xu Yibai as a haven for his soul. No matter how much pressure he had in the past, as long as he stayed by Xu Yibai's side, his impetuous heart could be calmed down. However, Xu Yibai in front of him was extremely strange to him. Xiao Cheng couldn't help wondering whether the young man in front of him was the gentle and considerate Xu Yibai.
"you… "
"You just got out of prison, so you should be short of money." Xu Yibai took out his wallet and took out a bank card from it, "There are 300,000 in it, and the password is your birthday. You can use this money to make money." small business."
Xiao Cheng slowly shifted his gaze to the bank card, it turned out that Xu Yibai thought he was here to ask him for money.
Seeing that Xiao Cheng didn't answer it for a long time, Xu Yibai put the bank card on the coffee table in front of Xiao Cheng, "By the way, there is a sentence that I have never had a chance to tell you." Xu Yibai looked at Xiao Cheng, and said: "Xiao Cheng ,let's break up."
In Xiao Cheng's first year in prison, Xu Yibai visited him several times and said that he would wait for him. Xiao Cheng believed it at the time, but he never expected that it would end like this.
Xiao Cheng doesn't love Xu Yibai, but he broke up with Qin Mu because of Xu Yibai, he didn't want to make himself feel regretful for his stupidity, so during the three years when he broke up with Qin Mu, he kept persuading himself To fall in love with Xu Yibai, but he still can't do it after all.
Now, even Xu Yibai doesn't want him anymore.
Xiao Cheng wanted to laugh, moved the corners of his mouth, and showed a slightly weird smile, "Okay." After a pause, he asked, "Did you really like me when you approached me?"
"No." Xu Yibai didn't need to hide anything now, "Actually, when you were drunk back then, nothing happened between us."
"What... what?"
"Someone gave me a sum of money to seduce you."
Hearing this, various complex emotions such as shock, anger, and regret flashed across Xiao Cheng's face. It turned out that his breakup with Qin Muhui was due to a conspiracy carefully planned by others. He suddenly leaned over and grabbed Xu Yibai's collar, his eyes were filled with raging anger, his expression twisted like a ghost climbing up from hell: "Tell me, who is that person?"
Xu Yibai tried his best to break free from Xiao Cheng's shackles, "I won't tell you who he is." He couldn't afford to mess with that person.
"Why did you harm me like this? If it wasn't for your sabotage, how could I have broken up with Qin Mu, and how could I have become what I am today!"
"Don't push everything to me." Xu Yibai took off his gentle mask, his eyes full of sarcasm, "I forced you to sleep with me? Even if that person wasn't me, it would be someone else, I can be honest Let me tell you, although I approached you for other purposes at the beginning, but later I really fell in love with you, but you always pretended to be someone else in your heart, and you always dealt with it perfunctorily when you were with me. Tools and a trash can to pour out your thoughts on.”
"And now, you have fallen from the clouds to the mud, you are no longer dazzling, no longer attracting the attention of all people, you have become an ordinary person, I can finally tell myself that I don't like you anymore."
Xiao Cheng closed his eyes: "No, you don't like me, what you like is me who shines brightly on the stage."
Only Qin Mu, when he was a poor boy from the county town to the big city, wholeheartedly cultivated and encouraged him, but what did he do to Qin Mu himself? Playing the young master's temper, being arrogant and willful, squandering Qin Mu's love recklessly, and finally betraying him and sleeping with others.
Only now did Xiao Cheng fully understand what a good person he had failed.
…
[Ding, congratulations, the pain point of Zha Gong is full.]
When the voice of the system sounded in his mind, Qin Mu had just changed into his suit. He paused, buttoned the last suit button, and stood in front of the full-length mirror, admiring the suit on his body. It was indeed designed by Italian national treasures. Made by Kevin, the selection of fabrics and tailoring are top-notch. The man in the mirror is tall and handsome, and this white suit fits him perfectly.
He didn't expect that Xiao Cheng's pain value was full. He gave him Xu Yibai's contact information, just to make Xiao Cheng frustrated with Xu Yibai. He was very curious, what did Xu Yibai tell Xiao Cheng? something happened.
Just when Qin Mu was deep in thought, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist from behind him, Ling Yang rested his chin on Qin Mu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Honey, you will definitely be the leader of the audience tomorrow." Most handsome man."
Qin Mu hooked his lips, turned around, squeezed Ling Yang's chin and pressed his lips together, "You too."
The sound disappeared into the fierce and wanton kiss between the two.
On the day of the wedding, except for Ling Yang's father who did not come, relatives of both parties and business friends were present. The marriage between the Ling Group and the Qin Group can be described as a strong alliance. Although it is a same-sex wedding banquet, no one present dared to underestimate them.
After the wedding, the two returned to the new house, Qin Mu went to the bathroom to take a shower, Ling Yang drank a few more glasses, felt dizzy, so he rested on the sofa for a while.
Hearing the sound of splashing water coming from the bathroom, he felt a little itchy and stood up unsteadily, wanting to take a bath with Qin Mu.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Ling Yang shook his head, turned around, and walked towards the door in a nonchalant manner, "Who is it?" He squinted his eyes and forgot the visual display screen by the door, and when he saw someone coming, the drunkenness in his eyes dissipated, Opening the door, parting her thin lips, she sneered: "It's so late, what are you doing here..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression changed, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, as if in slow motion, he slowly lowered his head, a fruit knife was inserted into his abdomen, and his body shook uncontrollably a few times, Xiao Cheng hugged his waist tightly, "Go to hell."
He pulled out the knife, then continued to stab it mercilessly, five times in a row, Xiao Cheng pulled out the knife and threw it on the ground, watching Ling Yang cover his stomach and slide slowly against the door panel with cold eyes.
Although he didn't tell him who was behind the scenes, he tentatively asked Ling Yang's name, and from Xu Yibai's slight expression, he knew that his guess was correct. This man snatched Qin Mu away from him with despicable means, and it should be time for him to return it.
Even if it is impossible for him and Qin Mu, he will not let Ling Yang get Qin Mu.
Blood spilled from his fingers, Ling Yang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He could feel the blood draining rapidly, and the intestines were pressed against his palm, as long as he let go of his hand, those intestines would flow out of the body from the incision.
He felt that his body was getting colder and colder, his eyes were getting darker and darker, and he could faintly hear the sound of footsteps going away. He closed his eyes, exhausted his last bit of strength, and slowly crawled towards the house.
A river of blood snaked across the floor.
Qin Mu was taking a bath in a good mood when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the living room. He paused, turned off the shower, and listened intently. Sure enough, he heard the sound of objects rubbing against the ground.
A strange feeling lingered in his heart, he didn't care to wipe off the water droplets on his body, put on his bathrobe in a hurry, and asked tentatively, "Ling Yang?"
No sound came.
Qin Mu suddenly had a bad premonition, he opened the door and ran out, he was relieved to see Ling Yang lying on the sofa in the living room.
The young man seemed to be asleep, his hair was disheveled, and a black blanket was draped around his waist. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Qin Mu took a light step, stepped forward a few steps, and then stopped suddenly.
He smelled a strong smell of blood.
The expression on his face was blank for a moment. Qin Mu quickened his pace and came to Ling Yang's side. He brushed away the sweat-soaked hair covering his forehead. The temperature from his fingertips was so cold that Qin Mu's heart slowed down. Slowly sank to the bottom.
He patted the young man's pale cheek lightly, and called out in a low voice: "Ling Yang, wake up?"
The young man moved his eyelashes, and there was no anxiety in his eyes, "Qin Mu... today is my happiest day."
"Don't talk." Qin Mu has already seen the blood on the ground, how can a person bleed so much, from the entrance to the living room, "Hold on, I'll take you to the hospital right away."
Qin Mu was about to pick up Ling Yang, but Ling Yang shook his head feebly, "I'm going to die."
Qin Mu shook his head vigorously, his eyes were a little red, "No, you won't die." Xie Ge is dead, Mu Huai is dead, is it Ling Yang's turn now? Why, except for the first world, every subsequent world is never an exception
"Obviously... I just said at the wedding that I will grow old forever." Ling Yang weakly leaned his head on Qin Mu's shoulder, and brushed Qin Mu's neck with his cold lips, "I didn't expect... to grow old so soon. .”
"If... time can be turned back, I will... cherish the time we spend together." Ling Yang closed his eyes slowly as his eyelids became heavier and heavier, "I'm so sleepy, I... want to sleep for a while."
Ling Yang fell asleep forever in Qin Mu's arms.
Qin Mu hugged him and stood in the brightly lit living room, all expression lost on his face.
It was getting dark outside the window.
After standing for a century, Qin Mu slowly lowered his head and pressed his lips to the corner of the young man's.
"If I knew that our time together was so short, if time could go back, dear, I would have agreed to you without hesitation when you just returned to China and said you wanted to sleep with me."
…
Ling Yang died, and the police stopped Xiao Cheng at the airport who was trying to escape abroad. After Ji Han got the news, he turned down all his work and came to visit Qin Mu.
When Ji Han confessed to him that he wanted to accompany Ling Yang to take care of him, Qin Mu refused. Xiao Cheng was sentenced to death. Before his execution, Qin Mu went to see him once in prison and asked Xiao Cheng why he did this. Xiao Cheng told Qin Mu about Ling Yang breaking them up.
Xiao Cheng has an impulsive personality, and after knowing that everything was a secret trick of Ling Yang, his intense hatred and anger made him lose his mind, and finally brought about this tragedy.
When Xiao Cheng's parents came to see him off, the two old men had gray hair and were about to go blind from crying. They are old and have children, and they have always responded to Xiao Cheng's requests and loved them very much. They never thought that Xiao Cheng would kill someone.
Fear of death and guilt towards his parents made Xiao Cheng shed tears of regret.
However, it was too late.
Before Qin Mu went to the next world, he went to Ling Yang's cemetery to see him. The young man in the photo was wearing a white shirt, with crooked eyes, smiling slightly at Qin Mu.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Qin Mu's mouth, and he suddenly remembered the scene when 13-year-old Ling Yang first met him. At that time, his small body was hiding behind Lawyer Liang, tilting his head slightly, using his timid eyes She peeked at him timidly and curiously.
Like a timid rabbit.
Qin Mu wanted to laugh at that time, but he held back, took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to him expressionlessly.
Peeling off the colored candy wrapper, Xiao Lingyang stuffed the little candy into his mouth, his smiling eyes bent into bridges, and he smiled shyly at Qin Mu like in the photo.
It would be nice if time could freeze that moment.
Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and turned around, "What is the next world?"
[Ancient.]
"What identity?"
[tyrant.]
Qin Mu blinked slowly, thinking, if he is a tyrant in the next world, then he should be able to protect his lover from harm, right
Qin Mu nodded and said, "Then let's start the next world."
