In the fighting gym, Shi Lihua was knocked to the ground by a punch.
"No more fucking fun!" He panted and tore off his boxing gloves with his teeth. He raised his trembling arms to take off his helmet and shook off the wet hair sticking to his forehead. "Fan Xiao, you are seeking revenge!"
Fan Xiao in the octagonal cage was like a trapped animal, almost exhausted, leaning against the fence to calm his rapid breathing. His face was extremely ugly, and the dark circles under his eyes aggravated the coldness that came from his bones. After hitting each other with his fists, he straightened his back again and said in a deep voice: "Come again."
Shi Lihua was obviously startled, and suddenly sat cross-legged on the stage. "Fan Xiao, I just said a few extra words in the message, you won't beat me to death, right?" He grumbled aggrievedly, "Besides, it was the guy named You who used your phone to send me a message first, how the hell do I know who the other party is?"
Fan Xiao was so angry that he almost sharpened his knife: "I only sent the three words 'You Shulang' and you sold me out completely! Shi Lihua, You Shulang has already figured out your character!"
Fan Xiao couldn't help but think of last night. In the gloomy twilight, inside the door, You Shulang sat under a narrow lamp, holding a cigarette loosely between his fingers and looking at him.
The world suddenly became eerily quiet, and everything seemed to fade away. All that remained in Fan Xiao's senses was that gaze, as deep and cold as a pond, revealing an indescribable sadness.
He held the phone tightly in his hand. The words in the dialog box seemed to be burned into his mind and could not be erased no matter how hard he tried.
Fan Xiao: You Shulang.
Shi Lihua: What happened to You Shulang? Tell me, why is there no beginning or end?
Shi Lihua: Did you succeed? Dumped him? How did you do it? Did you achieve the effect of dumping him hard as you said?
Shi Lihua: What's the state of Mr. You? Is he crazy? Damn, I really want to see him go crazy. Tsk, can't you just dump him in front of me?
Shi Lihua: What reason did you give to dump him? By the way, I think you should give Xue Baotian a lesson when you have time, that idiot. I'm afraid he might have told you about it.
Shi Lihua: Are you talking? How come you just popped up and disappeared?
Shi Lihua: Mr. Fan is getting more and more perverted. He can even bring people he hates to bed. He dumps them when he's had enough sex. He's really a pervert. He's really a pervert. Hahahaha, I learned something new today. Isn't it fun? I'm going to throw you a party to celebrate. No, why don't you say something? !
"Mr. Fan, Mr. Shi is much more honest than you."
You Shulang slowly stood up and walked towards the entrance step by step. Every time he took a step forward, Fan Xiao took a small step back. When he got close, Fan Xiao had already retreated to the corner of the entrance.
"I'm sorry for touching your phone without your permission." You Shulang's eyes were pale, but he didn't look cold and ruthless. But now there was only cold self-mockery in those pale eyes. "You told me the password yourself when you were dragging your suitcase at the airport and it was inconvenient for you to answer Lu Zhen's call. Now think about it, it's not that it was inconvenient for you to answer the phone, but you felt that it was particularly exciting for me to answer the phone for you and put it next to your ear, right? You asked my ex-boyfriend out for dinner in front of me, and at the same time you played both of us around, satisfying your unique perverted hobby?"
Fan Xiao could no longer maintain his confident attitude, and leaned against the wall, speaking in a hollow voice: "...Shu Lang, listen to my explanation."
A little scarlet flickered, and You Shulang took a puff of cigarette. The bitter nicotine traveled around in his body, contaminated by the complicated emotions and becoming heavy.
You Shulang slowly blew the smoke onto Fan Xiao's face and said calmly, "You explain, I'm listening."
Fan Xiao's mouth and nose were suddenly hit by a spicy smell, and the wisps of smoke entangled his thoughts, making them as chaotic as a pot of porridge.
He was speechless and could not think of an excuse. Shi Lihua beat him too hard and did not give him any chance to turn the tables.
He could only make up an excuse: "...Shi Lihua...you are talking nonsense. You know him..."
Ha, You Shulang sneered: "In other words, you let Xue Baotian set up a trap to trick me; deliberately seduced Lu Zhen to make us break up; you were not sincere in being with me; and dumping me was just a game for you. Are these all nonsense from Shi Lihua?"
Fan Xiao's face turned pale, his five fingers clenched tightly, and he wished he could crush the phone in his hand!
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." You Shulang suddenly took a step closer, pressed his body against Fan Xiao, stared at him from a very close distance, and asked in a cold voice, "Fan Xiao, what did I do to offend you? Why do you hate me so much?"
"You..." Fan Xiao avoided his gaze in panic. He was usually eloquent but now his throat felt like it was filled with cement and he couldn't utter a word.
"I believe I have never done anything to hurt you. I always think of you first and take care of you. What on earth made you hate me so much?"
"I don't hate you." Fan Xiao shook his head, "I don't hate you."
"Oh, by the way, the word Master Shi used was 'disgust'." You Shulang smiled sadly, his eyes reddened, "Disgust. Fan Xiao, look how stupid I am. I actually kept thinking that at least you loved me. I take back what I just said. You are indeed a good actor, really awesome. You can act out such realistic love for someone you hate."
"I didn't, I'm not... Shulang, I'm not who you imagined." Fan Xiao was completely panicked. He didn't care about success or failure, winning or losing, or the outcome of the game. He just wanted to find You Shulang, who had protected him, indulged him, and loved him.
"It's not fake. I love you for real. I didn't lie to you."
You Shulang laughed silently. He bent over with laughter, tears came out of his eyes, and his teeth could hardly hold the cigarette butt. Even Lu Zhen, who had been stunned in the living room, was shocked. He had never seen You Shulang like this before, and it was the first time he saw sadness in his laughter.
"Love me? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard." Slowly stopping laughing, You Shulang raised his sharp eyelids and looked directly at the person in front of him, "Boss Fan, haven't you fucked me enough? Or do you feel that dumping me is not enough and you want to coax me back and dump me again after you've fucked me enough?"
"Shu Lang..."
The door behind me was pushed open.
You Shulang pinched out the hot cigarette butt with his fingertips: "Fan Xiao, I will just regard this as a disgusting nightmare I had this year, and today I finally woke up from it. From now on, please don't appear in my life again, and don't let me see you again."
"roll!"
Fan Xiao was pushed out of the door forcefully. The warm yellow light in the room was instantly cut off. It was a cool night and Fan Xiao fell into the freezing cold...
The incandescent light in the octagonal cage made people dizzy. Fan Xiao felt pain in his chest. He lowered his head to look at the position of his heart, then looked at Shi Lihua who was sitting on the ground.
"Again!" he said.
