The famous bar street is filled with flashing neon lights and hazy, drunken eyes. The dim lighting and the occasional soft music escaping from behind the heavy doors make even the evening breeze seem more alluring and dense.
Just a few dozen meters from the main street is a back alley, where Fan Xiao and You Shulang are now leaning against the wall counting stars.
Saying “leaning” isn’t quite accurate; Fan Xiao was ordered to move three centimeters away from the wall.
“Who told you to wear a white cashmere coat?” You Shulang said with a half-smile, his mischievous glint in his eyes sending shivers down one’s spine.
Fan Xiao looked away, pursed his clothes and tightened his lips, appearing impatient but obediently straightening his body.
The autumn heatwave is fierce during the day, but becomes vulnerable at night. The night wind rushes in from the alley entrance, quickly passing through the narrow alley, bringing a chill with it.
By teasing the stray cat, You Shulang moved to Fan Xiao’s right side, standing upwind and using his body to break through the cold wind, leaving a less windy corner for the person behind him.
She was so considerate it bordered on gentle.
It’s also annoying.
“Are you like this to everyone?” Fan Xiao asked bluntly.
“What?” You Shulang still didn’t understand what Fan Xiao was angry about. He watched as the man took a step forward, almost touching his back.
The man suddenly wrapped his arms around You Shulang’s waist from behind, leaned down slightly and whispered in his ear, “Since Director You is such a good person, let’s go all the way and let me lay low for a while.”
Fan Xiao’s tall body clung perfectly to You Shulang, inextricably linked to the curves of his body. Their intimate parts pressed against each other’s thighs, and even through their clothing, You Shulang instantly went on guard.
“Let go.” He suppressed his anger, barely maintaining his composed straight-man image. “Fan Xiao, you’ve gone too far.”
Fan Xiao turned his head to look at him from behind. Seeing You Shulang’s deeply furrowed brows, he slowly let go of his hand and stepped back: “Can’t we stick together for warmth? Director You is being stingy.”
You Shulang, suppressing his anger, glared at Fan Xiao with ill intent: “How many times have I told you, stop with the nagging.”
“We’re all men, why are you being so petty?” Fan Xiao said dismissively. Seeing You Shulang’s glare, he raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, I’ll be more careful next time.”
He lowered himself to ingratiate himself, asking with a smile, “Shall I light a cigarette for Director You?”
Thick-skinned is the character label that You Shulang used to describe Fan Xiao. As they spent more time together, he discovered that Fan Xiao was extremely good at provoking people, and then shamelessly coaxing them. He had a variety of tricks for coaxing people, and he would not stop until he made them laugh.
It’s really unbearable.
You Shulang pushed away the hand offering him a cigarette and asked the same question they had asked each other when they first entered the alley.
“What are we supposed to do here? If you keep me in suspense, I’m leaving.”
Given Fan Xiao’s smoking habit, he never failed to light a cigarette once it left the pack, yet today he unusually returned it. He turned on his phone, checked the time, and replied to You Shulang: “Soon, you’ll know soon.”
Before the words were finished, the back door of a bar not far away was pushed open forcefully, and two intertwined figures rolled out of it.
A man and a woman were passionately kissing. Their love seemed to be at its peak; they bumped into the door and rolled against the wall. The man held the woman tightly around the waist, pressing her firmly into his arms. The sounds of their wetness were enough to make anyone blush.
Fan Xiao raised an eyebrow, picked up a long, narrow, tattered cardboard box from the ground, and gave You Shulang a wink.
You Shulang was puzzled, but he could also tell that Fan Xiao’s actions were not benevolent. He grabbed him and gently shook his head.
Fan Xiao smiled, leaned down and whispered three words in his ear.
“Xue Baotian”.
Xue Baotian? The heir of Ruixiang Pharmaceutical, who drugged a girl and made himself look foolish—Xue Baotian!
A cold glint flashed in You Shulang’s eyes. Slowly, he released Fan Xiao and took the tattered cardboard box with his bulging veins.
A woman’s scream suddenly rang out in the alley, but there was no fear on her face. She wiped the drool from her lips, then opened her slender fingers to look at her newly done nails, looking relaxed and content.
In addition, there were screams coming from the man trapped inside the cardboard box.
“Who? Who hurt your grandpa? Do you even know who I am?! Ouch! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! It hurts! I’ll give you money, lots of money! Stop hitting me!”
Fan Xiao was distracted.
He kicked the man who was still struggling again, his peripheral vision filled with the cold and menacing gaze of You Shulang.
You Shulang’s beatings weren’t particularly brutal, but they were surprisingly clean and efficient. He avoided vital areas, yet showed no mercy in inconsequential places.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, his pupils constricted, and a layer of frost seemed to be condensed in the depths of his gaze. The power in his swinging arms was astonishing; his movements were fluid and his moves beautiful, like an elegant yet ferocious beast, striking his opponent fiercely while maintaining an inherent composure and dignity.
Xue Baotian, who was covered in a cardboard box, was stunned by the beating. He tried to escape but ran in the wrong direction and crashed into You Shulang! The speed and strength of a fleeing man should not be underestimated. Fan Xiao was about to help when he saw You Shulang narrow his eyes, gather his strength, and kick Xue Baotian to the ground with a fierce and accurate kick!
The autumn wind seemed to stop for a moment, and Fan Xiao suddenly felt… hot.
This is no longer the Virgin Mary, but clearly a beautiful and seductive Satan!
His blood boiled, and emotions he had never felt before surged through Fan Xiao’s body! He had always enjoyed strong opponents; the stronger they were, the more he wanted to win, the more he wanted to stand on the ruins of destruction and enjoy the thrill. But now, and only now, he didn’t want to destroy or ruin; he only wanted to control and possess!
Having settled down, You Shulang’s eyes were indifferent. He glanced coldly at the cardboard box rolling and howling on the ground for a while, then looked up and gave Fan Xiao a wink before slowly turning and walking towards the alley entrance.
Fan Xiao followed, stretching out his long arm and placing it on the man’s shoulder.
He shrugged, but the arm remained firmly attached; instead of falling off, it tightened its grip even more.
The man being embraced looked displeased. The slightly taller person next to him whispered something in his ear, and the man shook his head slightly, no longer bothering to argue.
As dusk deepened, the faint light at the alley entrance outlined two tall figures, their silhouettes hazy yet tender.
As the faint light faded, the two people walking side by side slowly disappeared into the night…
