"Damn!" Ji Sheng hissed violently and roared in a low voice, "You are a dog!"

After Ji Sheng revealed his identity, Xie Xuanming relaxed and said, "I'm sorry."

He opened his clenched fist, put his hand on the wrist covering his mouth and nose, and moved it down.

Xie Xuanming sniffed, sniffed a trace of blood, and frowned: "Are you injured?"

"I was bitten by you." Ji Sheng said unhappily, and changed his words after realizing that the body of the person opposite him was stiff.

As he spoke, he stroked Xie Xuanming's wrist.

"Hello." Xie Xuanming was stunned, and then realized that he was checking the broken watch, struggling to withdraw his hand, "Don't touch it, it's all broken glass..."

Ji Sheng let it go with an "oh" and said, "Your watch is broken, I'm sorry."

Xie Xuanming moved silently for a moment, then said in a low voice: "It's okay, I didn't want it in the first place."

"..."

Ji Sheng was silent for two seconds, "It's actually a very important thing, and I'll keep wearing it after returning it to you."

Xie Xuanming felt a sudden pain in his heart, as if a carefully hidden wound had been stabbed hard, and the pain that he thought could be ignored was flowing out along with the blood.

The irritability and anger exploded at this moment, and Xie Xuanming felt strangely sad and angry. These emotions began to emerge when the watch was broken, but they were not caused by the loss of the watch.

Xie Xuanming just found unwillingly at this moment that he still attached great importance to that woman. Her rare smile in life and her hideous face in death hovered in his mind like a ghost, every moment he opened and closed his eyes.

Xie Xuanming stubbornly believed that he could not want the watch that the woman gave him, or he could not want the woman's love.

But in fact he was empty-handed. Neither the watch nor the love was given to him, he was just holding the air to fight, like a child who can't eat candy, trying to say that I don't want it...

It seems that if you open your mouth, you can ask for it.

Xie Xuanming lowered his eyes in embarrassment. Even in the dark, he didn't want to face Ji Sheng's burning gaze. He argued hoarsely: "That's because the box you gave me is too ugly. I don't want to use it. It's just a watch. I don't care about it at all." Don't care."

Words without logic.

A look of embarrassment that anyone can detect.

Xie Xuanming was in extreme embarrassment. He would rather go out and be beaten again than stay in this small space and accept the backlash judgment brought about by self-deception.

He quietly touched the cabinet door with his hand, and was about to use force—

With the warm touch on his face, Xie Xuanming's strength stopped.

Ji Sheng held his face, gently squeezed the soft flesh of his cheek, and heaved a sigh of relief: "I'm not crying."

Xie Xuanming was a little confused, the fingertips on his cheeks were rough, and the calluses left by years of practice showed a full sense of presence, and the fingertips carried a faint smell of blood, gently caressing his face.

That woman held his face like this before, when he was very young. I can't remember the reason clearly, maybe it was because he had a fight with the kid at school who laughed at him for not having a father, or maybe he lost his temper because he didn't get a birthday present...

It was too long ago, Xie Xuanming was in a trance, almost doubting the authenticity of the memory.

Xie Xuanming froze in place and was pinched by others, Ji Sheng took him into his arms and patted his back like a coaxing child: "Okay, okay, I don't care at all."

Xie Xuanming put his chin on his shoulder without knowing the situation. When Ji Sheng spoke, his body trembled and his jaw went numb.

"Our little Xie has gone through a lot of hard times. From now on, I will hang out with my brother. My brother will give you a watch, which is unique in the world."

Ji Sheng whispered coaxingly.

Xie Xuanming's throat felt dry.

After a while, he let out an inaudible "hmm".

The battle of the century at the OR bar ended with each playing fifty big boards. Aoide lost his job at the venue because of a fight, and the chestnut band was demanded by the furious boss to compensate for all losses. The boss said that if they don't return within one month, he will inform the whole street of Chestnut Band's evil behavior today, so that the restaurants and bars on the street will be more eye-catching. If you don't want to ruin the store, don't invite this stupid band go to a show.

Su Jing knew that Qingchu was very angry when he lost his job, but when he heard the punishment for Lizi, he giggled again.

He taunted without hesitation: "Fight, fight again, if you are so good at fighting, why don't you change your career and go underground to fight black boxing, doing stupid things that don't make it to the stage and still want to play in a band? You have chicken necks to play in a band, Stupid, violent, orangutan!"

What he said made the members of the Chestnut band glared at him. But because the boss had previously said that if there was any trouble, they would call the police, so they didn't dare to reply, for fear that another lunatic would rush out of the boy band across the street.

The lead singer of Sparta stood with his tail between his legs and was scolded by the boss. He was so wronged.

Although he came to the door to provoke, but it was clearly the other party who made the first move. The mad dog on the opposite side punched hard and the monkey danced with a stick... No matter how you look at it, they are all crazy critics, and they should be held accountable.

Look at that crazy dog punching hard, and then retreating after hitting someone, weak and weak as if being bullied, but green tea.

Sparta gritted his teeth, Su Jing couldn't finish it, he damaged the Chestnut Band from head to toe without dirty words and still wasn't satisfied, he turned around and called friends: "Old Ji, what are you doing in a daze, come here and scold people... Damn!"

Only then did Su Jing see his own pop drummer and the underage lead singer standing sticky together in the back. The underage had a pale face (naturally born), dried blood stains on his cheeks (smeared by Ji Sheng), and eye sockets. Some pitiful red (rubbed by Ji Sheng).

Su Jing turned her head and came to the wrong conclusion that her child was being bullied. He was furious, and if Li Tan Shengkong hadn't stopped him quickly with his sharp eyes and hands, he would have rushed up again, flashing to break up the group.

"Fuck, why don't you show your face, our lead singer is underage, do you know about the underage protection law? It's inhumane or legally ignorant to attack so hard! He knows how to bully honest children, everyone is beaten to tears!"

Sparta: …

He glanced at the wrinkled Xie Xuanming in disbelief, and really didn't understand how the lunatic who just swung a high stool on his head became an "honest boy".

Xie Xuanming also: ...

He wiped his eyes in wonder, and was about to say that those tears were physically forced out by Ji Sheng's unnoticed poking his finger in his eye socket just now, and he didn't cry...

However, when he didn't open his mouth, Ji Sheng repeated his old trick, covered his mouth with a slap, hugged him in his arms, and yelled loudly: "That's right, the child was beaten and cried, pay for it!"

Xie Xuanming:.

Xie Xuanming:? ?

Then he watched as Ji Sheng and Su Jing sang together, scolding Sparta so hard that they couldn't find the beginning and end, took out five hundred from his pocket, and spent money to eliminate disasters.

The Qingchu band, who had stolen five hundred oceans, retreated contentedly, and Xie Xuanming was dragged away from the stage, puzzled.

He thought he had to seriously consider whether the decision to join Qingchu was reasonable.

Beating people, swearing and extorting money, a band with everything is not a place for decent people to stay.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening when we left the bar, but Ji Sheng had no plans to go back to the rental house. He patted Xie Xuanming: "Xiao Xie, give me the watch."

Xie Xuanming: "Why?"

"The leftover shell of a Hercules is worth a lot of money. I don't have a job, so I can pawn it off for a living." Ji Sheng took it for granted.

Xie Xuanming: ...

Xie Xuanming took off his watch, handed it over, and corrected: "Rolex."

"Almost." Ji Sheng put his watch in his pocket with a smile, said hello to Sheng Kongzhi, dragged Su Jing away, said that he had something to do, and asked Sheng Kongzhi to order takeaway for him first, and go back to eat by himself.

Xie Xuanming and Sheng Kong walked back to the rental house together. On the way, Sheng Kong asked some questions with concern. Xie Xuanming didn't know him very well, so he answered perfunctorily.

Xie Xuanming returned to the rental house and ordered a takeaway to fill his stomach. After eating and getting ready to go to bed, I suddenly found a WeChat unread message reminder on the screen of my phone. I clicked on it, and it was Su Jing’s @info in Qingchu’s chat group.

Su Jing[Laughed to death]

Su Jing [click to see the turtle drummer who can bend and stretch]

After clicking on the video, Ji Sheng was squatting on the ground, and the rogue firmly grasped a person's thigh.

"Brother Wang, please help me fix it. I can't help it, I'm really tight!"

"Fuck off, I haven't settled with you for your kidnapping of my daughter, ah, I'm a good girl, I'm tricked into going to the bar by you every day, I'll take your business for your face, you fucking have the guts to let me go I discount."

"I'm just going to persuade Qianjin to change her ways, brother, give me a discount!"

"Get the hell out of me! My daughter is pure and flawless, what kind of evil can be changed, you fucking came to my door and scolded my precious daughter, are you begging for a beating!"

"Brother, Uncle! Dad! I didn't mean that! Don't throw me out! Give me a chance..."

Su Jing[This is the first time I saw someone kneeling down to fix a watch hahahahahaha]

Sheng Kongzhi [Is it fixed?]

Su Jing[No, no one has the guts to touch a famous watch, for fear of breaking it and being extorted from money, kneeling in vain]

The last one is the reason for Su Jingai and Xie Xuanming.

Su Jing[@谢玄明, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone use their original name as their WeChat name]

Su Jing[@谢轩明, Ji Sheng is gearing up for your Rolex, hurry up and stop it, maybe the watch will be completely scrapped if it’s too late]

Xie Xuanming glanced at the news from more than forty minutes ago.

He hesitated, opened Ji Sheng's private chat, deleted it three or four times, and sent it: "Brother Ji, are you asleep?"

Ji Sheng replied in seconds: "No."

Xie Xuanming was inexplicably relieved, and wanted to reply but didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Ji Sheng didn't give him time to hesitate.

"You haven't slept yet, come here, Su Jing is awake, ask him to open the door for you"

Su Jing did not sleep, he opened the door for Xie Xuanming: "Yo, Xiao Xie, here we come."

"Brother Su." Xie Xuanming usually behaved very well-behaved, even shy, "Did you and Brother Ji go to repair the watch just now?"

"Yeah." Su Jing said, "People don't want to touch that brand after seeing it, as if they are afraid of profanity, and your brother Ji is messing around inside."

"Oh." Xie Xuanming said, "He asked me to come over."

"It's probably done. He's going to do this in the house as soon as he comes back." Su Jing paused and added, "It may be completely finished."

Sheng Kongzhi on the sofa sat up, wrapped in the quilt and looked like he was going to sleep, when he saw Xie Xuanming, he said hello: "Xiao Xie."

Xie Xuanming nodded at him and entered the room.

There is only one room in the rental house. In Su Jing and Ji Sheng's house, Sheng Kongzhi sleeps on the sofa. Now that Su Jing is having supper outside, Ji Sheng is the only one locked up in the room.

Xie Xuanming knocked on the door and pushed it away after hearing "come in".

A small desk lamp was turned on in the room, and Ji Sheng sat at the table, blocking most of the light.

The door was halfway open and hit something on the ground. Xie Xuanming bent down and picked it up.

A takeaway, unopened, the bag was full of water mist, Xie Xuanming touched it, it was already cold.

Xie Xuanming came in with the takeaway, walked to the table, and put it on the corner of the table: "Brother Ji, I put the takeaway here."

Ji Sheng didn't raise his head and said "um", still focusing on the business at hand.

With a screwdriver in his hand, he carefully fiddled with the six-figure watch upside down, but no matter how hard he tried, his clumsy movements still looked like a new-age orangutan playing with needlework, revealing a cute and weird .

Ji Sheng's forehead was covered with sweat, his brows were furrowed, and the hand holding the tool secretly tightened the screw into the watch ring little by little.

After the last screw was screwed, he let out a cheer, leaned back and stretched, his fingertips barely passed Xie Xuanming's eyes.

A few bandages were pasted on the slender fingers to protect the cuts made by the fight. However, there are still some bright red fresh wounds exposed in the air, and the tearing visual effect is obviously from some kind of metal sharp instrument.

Xie Xuanming looked aside, first at the screwdriver, then at a few crumpled bloody paper towels at the corner of the table.

He wanted to see more clearly, but Ji Sheng had already leaned over, shaking his fingers in front of him, and said amusedly, "Sleepy? After standing for a while, he began to doze off."

"No." Xie Xuanming came back to his senses, "You asked me to come over..."

"Here." Ji Sheng directly stuffed the watch he had just repaired, and said triumphantly, "I said I will compensate you, but the guy who repaired the watch announced his personal revenge and quit the job, so I can only do it myself, and save a lot of money." ... You see if there is anything you are not satisfied with, I will change it."

Xie Xuanming lowered his head.

The watch in the palm of the hand is heavier than before, the strap has obvious scratches, the screws on the watch ring are uneven, and the surface is re-covered with cheap plastic. The brown and transparent texture gives the watch a sense of steampunk inexplicably.

Kaolin Flowers are treated like this...

This can no longer be considered blasphemy, it can be called a complete insult.

The watchmaker who refused to repair it might faint from Ji Sheng's overly bold approach.

Xie Xuanming held the watch and said dryly, "It's pretty."

As if afraid that the words would not express the meaning, he quickly added a sentence: "I like it very much."

A hand with a Band-Aid stretched out, vainly blocking the light of the desk lamp.

Ji Sheng smiled and leaned over: "I drew a few strokes on it...Look."

Xie Xuanming lowered his eyes.

In the dark, a few familiar fluorescent color strokes appeared on the surface of the brown plastic, still two random bends...

In front of the two green hills, a quaint little house is located in the center.

Ji Sheng's voice came with a smile: "Fortunately, your name is 'Xuan'. If it's 'City', 'Building', 'Ge', 'Pagoda'... then I really can't stand it."
