In the dim light and shadow, Fan Xiao drank strong liquor.
The box of matches had been played to pieces, lying scattered at the man’s feet, broken into pieces.
Shi Lihua dragged away the bottle and complained, “Don’t drink anymore. I don’t want to take care of you if you get drunk.”
Seeing that the man didn’t react, he frowned again: “Fan Xiao, if you keep going like this, I’ll really think you’ve broken up with your boyfriend. It’s just a fling, why are you taking it so seriously?”
He plopped down next to Fan Xiao: “If you haven’t had enough fun, find someone else. Four-legged men are hard to find, but what kind of two-legged men can’t you get? If you don’t want to frequent nightclubs, find someone clean.”
With his legs swaying arrogantly, he spoke in a light, casual tone as if discussing the weather: “I know you enjoy the hunting process, so let’s start a new game. It’s more interesting than drinking like this, feeling so depressed, isn’t it?”
“Depressed?” Fan Xiao disliked the word. He lowered his eyelashes. “Shi Lihua, when did you go blind?”
“Yes, I’m blind.” Seeing Fan Xiao’s hint of anger, Shi Lihua wisely shut his mouth.
The glass sat on the black marble tabletop, the shimmering light of the crystal seemingly tainted by the somber color. Fan Xiao touched his wristwatch and slowly said, “I can dump him, but he can’t leave me willingly.”
The voice was very soft and cold.
Shi Lihua felt a pang of sympathy for You Shulang. Knowing that Fan Xiao was not someone who could be persuaded, he followed up by asking, “Then what are you going to do?”
“Since they don’t appreciate our kindness, let’s coax them back and then dump them decisively.”
The curtains were heavy, blocking out even a ray of sunlight. The dim wall lamp struggled to break through the layers of oppressive darkness.
In the dim light, Fan Xiao looked at Shi Lihua: “Have you got information about that hostess?”
“Yes, she ran away from an arranged marriage in a remote mountain village. Her father betrothed her to a nouveau riche man in his sixties.” Fan Xiao was extremely vengeful, and Shi Lihua waited for him to continue.
“Give her phone number to that nouveau riche.”
Contrary to expectations, Shi Lihua was somewhat surprised: “That’s it? Not even the woman’s address?”
Fan Xiao was silent for a moment: “It’s enough to scare him. If we really make a big fuss and You Shulang finds out, I won’t be able to coax him back.”
Shi Lihua silently prayed for You Shulang: “Alright, we’ll do it your way.” Then he started worrying again, “But You Shulang hasn’t been able to see you. How are you going to coax him back?”
Fan Xiao’s expression darkened further, and after a long pause, he said, “Never mind.”
You Shulang changed the door lock code and cleared the fingerprints. This was the third consecutive day that Fan Xiao had been locked out.
He arrived extremely early today, blocking You Shulang from heading home after get off work.
“Director You,” he said, stopping the man who was about to enter, his tone calm and steady, “I have no way to seek justice.”
His tall frame stood firmly in front of the door: “If I had known about that, why would I have sent you away afterwards and kept protecting you?”
You Shulang finally looked him straight in the eye, his gaze piercing: “This is what makes me most uncomfortable. First, someone set me up and played me for a fool, then you recorded the video and played it repeatedly. Fan Xiao, I have to suspect that you sent me away just so you could continue to enjoy my pathetic state. Once wasn’t enough, you had to record it and watch it repeatedly.”
“The video was recorded by the dashcam, and I’m playing it repeatedly because I’m attracted to you. Shulang, you can’t completely dismiss me based on some unfounded suspicions.”
Fan Xiao softened his tone, as if sighing, “This isn’t fair to me, is it?”
The man must have been sleeping poorly these past few days; now, the bloodshot eyes were tinged with a dark red. He looked at You Shulang with hope in his eyes, like a wrongfully exonerated person waiting for a fair verdict in court.
You Shulang was silent for a moment, then his emotions calmed down: “You go back first. Let me have some peace and quiet for the next couple of days. I’ll come find you when I’ve thought things through.”
“Can’t figure it out?” Fan Xiao took a step forward, closing the distance between them, looking somewhat anxious.
You Shulang didn’t want to hurt anyone, especially his lover. He patted Fan Xiao’s arm lightly and said, “Give me some time to calm down. I’ll have a good talk with you.”
He walked past Fan Xiao, opened the door, and left a message before entering the house: “Go back and get some rest, and drink less alcohol.”
Just as the door was about to close, a hand suddenly reached in! The force with which the door closed was considerable, instantly pinching the skin of the hand until it became red and swollen!
“Fan Xiao!” You Shulang shouted, “You’re fucking insane!”
He quickly opened the door, but Fan Xiao squeezed in! The man suddenly hugged him tightly, his arms intertwined and constricting him, as if trying to squeeze out all the air from You Shulang’s chest.
Unable to push him away, You Shulang could only say with difficulty, “You have an old injury on your hand. Let me take a look at your hand first.”
“If you don’t even want the person, why are you still looking at their hands?”
Fan Xiao pushed the man against the wall, bent down, and kissed him fiercely! He was like a predatory beast, unwilling to give his prey any chance to escape.
It was almost a one-sided suppression and biting, deep and urgent. Rapid breathing broke the tranquility of the room, and You Shulang’s strong waist was pressed backward, bending into the most supple and beautiful arc.
A passionate kiss quickly escalated into a bloody battle. Fan Xiao pressed down on the back of You Shulang’s neck with one hand, continuing the deep kiss, while the other hand impatiently began to strip off his clothes.
The rough act brought a slight pain; the uncontrollable force pinched and reddened the fair skin. But no one felt sorry for him, no one paid any attention. Fan Xiao, with one hand supporting that soft mound, forcefully threw You Shulang onto the bed!
“Fan Xiao, calm down!” The stinging pain on his lips continued, but You Shulang was finally able to speak.
“I can’t calm down.” Fan Xiao was like a wronged yet aggressive lion, outwardly calm but inwardly ruthless. “Director You can unilaterally suspend your relationship, so can I unilaterally demand to have sex with you?”
He practically pounced on him, using his swollen, red fingers to push You Shulang’s bangs back, looking directly into the man’s eyes: “It’s fair that we each make our own decision this time.”
The pinched fingers were burning hot. You Shulang sighed helplessly, “Let’s apply the medicine first, and put everything else aside for now.”
However, things did not go as planned. Taking advantage of You Shulang’s fear of his hand injury, Fan Xiao did almost anything he wanted!
The attack began hastily, without adequate preparation.
You Shulang raised his neck and groaned. Amidst the initial pain, he heard Fan Xiao’s sinister reply in his ear: “Don’t worry, Director You, even with an injured hand, I can still make you feel good.”
The process of plunder and possession was exceptionally long. Fan Xiao did not speak eloquently as usual; his body was tense, his muscles bulging, and like You Shulang, he did not experience any pleasure.
The red marks around his eyes grew deeper, and the veins behind his ears throbbed incessantly. Fan Xiao’s repression and panic were as plain as a rigorous scientific text.
You Shulang sighed inwardly, the bitterness in his heart growing stronger.
He draped his sweaty arm over Fan Xiao’s broad shoulder, almost with sadness, and asked, “Can I really trust you?”
His movements suddenly stopped, and after a long, locked gaze, Fan Xiao’s voice trembled slightly: “Are you willing to believe me?”
You Shulang stroked the man’s cheek: “Fan Xiao, if you really lie to me, then keep lying. Just don’t let me find out anything or uncover the truth. I’m not very capable, but I still have a man’s dignity. If you’re going to lie, then don’t let me find out. That’s the greatest leniency I can show you.”
“Can you do it?” The man in the lower position possesses the most straightforward arrogance and the most hidden sorrow.
Fan Xiao’s ear twitched a few more times, which You Shulang noticed, adding a touch of self-mockery to his eyes.
“I’m not lying to you,” he heard the man’s voice. “Please don’t leave me.”
With a blank stare at the pattern on the old wallpaper on the ceiling, You Shulang said calmly, “I didn’t say I didn’t want you. Forget it, come back.”
His shoulders suddenly slumped, and Fan Xiao’s entire weight pressed down on You Shulang. He hugged the person beneath him tightly, gritting his teeth as he cursed, “You Shulang, you’re so mean! You say you’ll come back and I’ll come back, you say you’ll leave and I’ll leave? Since when have you been able to make all these decisions for me?”
The patterns on the roof still lingered in You Shulang’s eyes. After a long while, he finally asked, “So, are you coming back?”
“Come back. I haven’t seen you for three days, I really missed you.” Fan Xiao buried his face in You Shulang’s neck, a triumphant smile slowly spreading across his face.
