Zhou Yi'an stared blankly at the figure of the young man approaching slowly. He seemed to have lost weight, his face was abnormally pale, tired, with deep dark circles, and he was wearing old clothes that had been washed. , the whole person was covered with a layer of melancholy, which made people feel distressed.
At this moment, Zhou Yian was completely overwhelmed by pain and regret, how stupid he was to do so many things that misunderstood him and hurt him!
Zhao Qing was not wrong, the fault has always been his.
He has been refusing to face up to his stupidity and incompetence. He didn't take good care of Zhao Qing, let him encounter such a disaster, didn't protect him and understand him, but pushed him away with jealousy and misunderstanding... And after he endured so much for him... After much humiliation, she cruelly abandoned him.
Thinking of what Zhou Yizhe said to him, Zhou Yi'an felt a dull pain in his heart. If he could... he would give his life in exchange for the smile of the person he loves the most.
Xie He also saw Zhou Yian, and his footsteps stopped immediately.
In the dark and narrow corridor, the two looked at each other. The once closest lover was now a stranger.
Xie He looked at Zhou Yi'an fixedly, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, then he turned around and left without hesitation!
Zhou Yian was full of words that he wanted to confide, but he only waited for the young man's cold leaving back. He seemed to have swallowed the most bitter medicine... hurriedly stepped up and chased after him, grabbed the young man's arm, moved his lips, "I, I I have something to tell you..."
Xie He turned back and looked at him with desperate eyes, his voice trembling, "If you want to humiliate me, just say it. I'm sorry for you... I'm mean, you can say it if you want to say it..."
"You chased me, didn't you just want to see my embarrassing appearance? Now that you see it, are you satisfied?" Xie He closed his eyes.
Zhou Yi'an's movements froze, the appearance of the young man deeply hurt him, he opened his mouth, and found his voice was stiff and difficult, "No, I just wanted to say... I'm sorry..."
Xie He's eyes suddenly revealed an unbelievable look, and he hoarsely said, "You, what are you talking about..."
"I'm sorry." Zhou Yi'an looked deeply into the young man's eyes, stretched out his hand to embrace him, and murmured, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have misunderstood you, I have always loved you."
Xie He was stunned, as if he lost the ability to think for a while.
After a long time, the gleam in his eyes dissipated, dimmed again, and said lightly, "But I don't love you anymore, you can go."
Zhou Yian's face suddenly turned pale, and the tall man seemed at a loss at this moment.
Xie He pushed Zhou Yi'an away with a light push, his eyelashes drooped, and he said, "Go away, just let the misunderstanding clear up, and don't come to me again in the future."
He does not need such mercy and charity.
When this moment really came, I realized that the deep rift could not be healed.
Zhou Yi'an stood there, as if he had lost his soul, and muttered: "Why..."
"No reason, let's go." Xie He still said this.
Zhou Yian looked at the young man, and the figure in front of him vaguely coincided with the figure that waved him away back then. At that time, the young man used the word 'roll' decisively, and let him fall headlong into the dark abyss. He vowed to take it back. Everything that belongs to him, revenge on those who betrayed him...
But later he discovered that the truth of the matter was not the case, and the truth made him overwhelmed with pain.
This time it should be him who protects him and loves him.
Zhou Yi'an smiled and said softly, "It's okay, I did such a wrong thing, it's normal for you to blame me and blame me... So it's okay, you don't need to love me, as long as I love you."
These words seemed to have stimulated Xie He, his chest heaved violently, and he looked at him coldly, "Really? If I say that I love Zhou Yizhe, is there no problem?"
Zhou Yi'an said: "Impossible." He held his hands tightly, his voice was firm, he didn't know if he really believed so firmly, or to convince himself, "If you love him, why did you leave him? You don't love him at all, I know it is He forced you."
"Who said I left him, he didn't want me anymore, as you wish." Xie He looked indifferently.
"No." Zhou Yian was very stubborn.
Xie He stared at him, as if no matter what he said, Zhou Yian would not care, he was so persistent... Believe in him, love him.
If this trust and love could come earlier, maybe they would not be separated at all.
There was a self-deprecating smile on Xie He's face, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at Zhou Yi'an or himself, he said slowly, "You are right, I don't love him, but it doesn't mean I have to accept you .”
"I've had enough of you brothers, now I just want to stay away from you."
"I have my own life, I don't live it for any of you, I only live it for myself, I don't want to be in that situation again, I don't want to love you anymore, this is my truth. Can you Let me go?"
"I beg you."
These ruthless and decisive words left Zhou Yi'an completely injured. He staggered and took a step back. Only at this moment did he realize how deeply he had hurt the young man.
He understood that if he still loved this person, he should leave and not appear in front of him again, but he couldn't do it.
He couldn't... He loved him more than his own life.
Zhou Yi'an looked into the young man's eyes, he said hoarsely, "Really, can't you give me another chance..."
Xie He looked at him fixedly, a smile appeared on his pale face.
Just when Zhou Yian thought he would agree, he heard him calmly say: "We can't go back..."
We can't go back.
It's not that Zhou Yi'an doesn't understand this principle, but hearing this sentence from the young man's mouth with his own ears seems to deprive him of his last extravagant hopes and thoughts. He wanted to desperately take the young man as his own, just like Zhou Yizhe once did, but... he couldn't bear to hurt him, he couldn't do this...
In the end, Zhou Yi'an just said: "Can I still come to see you?"
"Just look at you, okay?" Zhou Yi'an's eyes showed deep grief and pleading, as well as a slight tremor.
Xie He's lips moved, but there was no answer.
Zhou Yian turned around and left.
Xie He has been watching his back leave, and leaned against the wall as if he lost his strength for a moment, and after a long while, he walked back home.
Xie He returned home, closed the door, and his eyes changed instantly.
[Xie He: Throw all the massage table game consoles into the system recycle bin for me! Get your home back to normal!]
[444: ... yes!]
[Xie He: Huh? The massage table with 500 experience points is 90% new, and the recycling station only returns 20 points to me after recycling. It is worthy of a system store. Buy low and sell high.]
[444: This...]
[Xie He: Having said that, in addition to recycling the goods purchased in the system store, can the system recycling bin also recycle the items I got in this world?]If possible, this is a shortcut to earn experience points.
[444: Yes, but it must be an item that you fully own and has recycling value. But for this low plane, I don't recommend wasting your time collecting items.]
[Xie He: Oh?]
[444: Taking this world as an example, most of the items are garbage with no recycling value. There are very few items with recycling value, and the value is usually low. For example, 10 kilograms of gold is worth 100 experience points, and a ton of oil is worth 10 experience points. A kilogram of diamonds is worth 100 experience points...]
[Xie He: I understand:)]
Xie He pondered slightly, the main system does not seem to have any loopholes for the time being, if you want to get rewards, you must pay enough, and in this low-level plane, bothering to collect items is far less cost-effective than gaining favor with the target person. But... What about other fairy-tale fantasy worlds? Are there more recycled items? A light of interest flashed in Xie He's eyes.
[444 weakly said: The host is big, in fact, what I just wanted to remind you is that you are 2% OOC, I was afraid that it would affect your performance so I didn't say it at the time...]
[Xie He: It's okay, just remember to remind me when it exceeds 5%.]
Just now, in order to prevent Zhou Yian from entering the door, he did say some things that were not suitable for human design. With Zhao Qing's character and love for Zhou Yian, no matter how painful and sad, he would not be so sharp. He actually realized this at the time.
In the final analysis, it was Zhou Yian's sudden arrival that disrupted his steps and failed to prepare in advance.
Xie He raised the corners of his lips. He knew that Zhou Yi'an would know the truth sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. Zhou Yizhe seemed determined to help the two of them. It's not easy to get the last 2 favorability points... Hehe , Very good, you have successfully caught my attention!
Xie He gave birth to the excitement of meeting his opponent.
Xie He was not in a hurry, since Zhou Yian left that day, he went to and from get off work as usual.
Sure enough, within a few days, I saw Zhou Yian again at the stairs.
With a cold face, Xie He walked in without saying a word, and when he was about to pass him, Zhou Yi'an suddenly grabbed Xie He's arm and whispered: "I miss you very much."
"But I don't want you to disturb me." Xie He looked at him expressionlessly.
Zhou Yian looked straight into his eyes, and said seriously, word by word: "Really? If you really have no attachment to me, why do you still want to live here?"
He finally found out!
Xie He's happy body froze, but there was a flash of panic in his eyes.
Zhou Yi'an kept looking into Xie He's eyes, so the fluster did not escape his eyes, and he suddenly felt hot in his heart, and his voice was full of urgency and heat: "Actually, you still love me, right? Don't let me down!"
"No..." Xie He gritted his teeth.
Zhou Yi'an lowered his head, stared deeply at Xie He's face, and sighed softly: "I was almost cheated by you... You obviously still love me..."
"I said no..." Xie He pushed Zhou Yian away, and quickly opened the door, trying to shut Zhou Yian out.
But how could Zhou Yi'an let him get what he wanted? Before Xie He could close the door, he squeezed in. With a glance, he saw that the hut, which had poured their countless feelings into it, still maintained its former appearance...even just Even the cups of the two of them were still placed together, as if he had never left.
So many things have happened, time seems to be frozen at the best moment here.
The panic on Xie He's face could no longer be concealed, he stretched out his hand to push Zhou Yi'an.
Zhou Yi'an remained motionless, he stared blankly at the young man in front of him, as if the love that was about to gushe out was settled in his heart, at this moment, no extra words could describe his mood, his love and joy... He suddenly He lowered his head, kissed the long-awaited soft lips, and took his lover into his arms.
Xie He suddenly opened his eyes wide and wanted to run away, but this time Zhou Yian didn't let go, he hugged the young man in his arms tightly, with great force, as if he wanted to integrate him into his own flesh and blood.
This kiss is so tender and lingering...
Xie He's struggle gradually weakened, and finally, he finally closed his eyes in vain.
Yes, obviously did not let go.
Obviously can't let go.
…………………
Everything seemed to be back to the original state, Zhou Yian returned to their home, as if he had never left at all, as if nothing had actually happened during this time.
If we have to talk about the difference, Zhou Yian is more considerate and gentle. He will prepare meals every day and wait for Xie He to go home. After eating, he will rush to wash the dishes. In He's work and life, he just supports him silently, let alone thanking He for anything he doesn't want to do, showing incomparable trust and tolerance.
The way he looked at Xie He was always gentle and full of deep love.
Xie He was very uncomfortable at first, feeling that he could not face Zhou Yian, but in the end he couldn't resist Zhou Yian's gentle offensive. This man was the one he loved desperately.
This love has always been buried in his heart, but now he will still be easily swayed by this man.
It's just that he couldn't pretend that nothing happened after all.
Beneath the calm surface, things are still different.
Xie He had dinner that night, hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Yi'an, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you... not going home?" I have been living with him, neither going home nor going back to the company, is it really all right?
Zhou Yian's expression froze for a moment, and then he smiled, "This is my home."
Xie He bit his lip, he looked at Zhou Yi'an with complicated eyes, "You know what I mean."
After being silent for several seconds, Zhou Yi'an slowly put away his smile, and said seriously: "I won't go back, will we just live together in the future? I will work hard to make money, and I will take good care of you."
He didn't want to go back to Zhou's house, let alone Xie He to see Zhou Yizhe, he wanted to use his own way to protect him and give him a stable and simple life.
Xie He didn't answer, he was a little lost.
"Don't think about it, I have everything." Zhou Yi'an smiled and put a piece of ribs into Xie He's bowl, interrupting Xie He's thoughts, bright eyes with warmth, "Hurry up, eat so thin like this , it hurts to hug."
Xie He came back to his senses, stared fixedly at Zhou Yi'an for a long time, bowed his head to eat.
After a month of unremarkable life, Xie He was at work as usual, when he suddenly heard 444 talking.
[444: The host is big, Zhou Yizhe is here!]
Xie He's eyes suddenly became sharp. He specially spent 100 experience points in exchange for the invisible monitoring equipment of Future Technology, so that 444 could monitor the house at any time, and finally waited until Zhou Yizhe appeared! He immediately put down the work in his hands and stood up.
Zhou Yi'an was cooking at home, but he didn't expect to welcome an unexpected guest.
He looked at Zhou Yizhe coldly, and said in an impatient tone, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Yizhe looked at Zhou Yi'an with a scrutinizing gaze, and said calmly, "I'm here to ask you, what's your plan? You were the one who wanted to go back to the company at the beginning, and now you're the one who just leaves and doesn't care, I I think—you should be more mature."
"Mature?" Zhou Yi'an sneered, "Like you?"
Zhou Yizhe didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Zhou Yian's tone, his voice was flat, "I didn't come to quarrel with you. I came to tell you that you want to be with Zhao Qing, and there is no conflict with you working in the company. You don't have to worry about the matter, I will take care of it."
"Why, you are so kind now, you want me to go back to work in the company? Wasn't it you who wanted to force me to leave?" Zhou Yi'an smiled, but his eyes were a little cold, "Let me guess, the reason why you let me go back to the company so generously , it’s just to let me have enough ability to take good care of him, isn’t it? You are really considerate... "
Zhou Yizhe pursed his lips slightly, but did not speak.
"Stop pretending to be kind!" Zhou Yi'an's voice suddenly became sharp, his eyes were piercingly cold, "If it wasn't for you, nothing would happen to us!"
"Zhao Qing and I don't need your charity! Of course I have the ability to take good care of him!" Zhou Yi'an said sharply, "You should leave!"
There was a flash of pain and struggle in Zhou Yizhe's eyes. He moved his fingers slightly, but his expression did not show any cracks. His thin lips were slightly parted, and he said patiently: "You can think about it again. You can come back anytime when you understand. The Zhou family has your share, and you deserve it."
After Zhou Yizhe said this, he stopped talking. It was already his limit that he could do this.
Giving up the one he loves to another man, and worrying about whether he is doing well with other men... Zhou Yizhe felt a stabbing pain in his heart, so painful that he could hardly breathe. He never imagined that one day, he would be able to do this for love , lowered himself into the dust.
He didn't even dare to see Xie Heyi again, for fear that he would lose control of himself and do something to hurt him again, so he could only pay attention to him silently...
"I'm leaving." Zhou Yizhe whispered, he couldn't stay for long.
"It's okay to leave." Zhou Yi'an's voice was cold and his eyes were sarcasm.
Zhou Yizhe had no expression on his face, his eyes were indifferent, he didn't care about Zhou Yian's attitude towards him at all, he did all this just to thank He, he turned and opened the door, but in the next moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the mask that had been perfect all along.
The person he was thinking of was standing at the door at this moment, with a pale face, looking at him with indescribable eyes.
I don't know how long the young man stood at the door and how much he listened.
