Chapter 32: It's Not Your Fault
Ye Zeyan didn't expect a meal to be like this.
When the two arrived at the door of Huizi's apartment, Lin Xi looked up at the tall man beside him who almost blocked all the light.
I was a little emotionally unstable but I didn't forget to take care of other people's feelings, "You wait at the door first, I'll tell her that you can come in." β
Ye Zeyan's face was cold and serious, "Okay." β
When she hadn't recovered from her panic and stunned, the man said that he wanted to follow, and Lin Xi agreed without much thought.
Young girls think they have seen all the dangers of the world, but this kind of thing that has only been read about on social news before has happened, and now it is close at hand, and it is not real, and she still panics.
She knew the password of Huizi's house, pressed the door lock, shouted at the door, and walked through the porch to see the woman sitting on the sofa in despair.
The room looked normal, not too messy, Lin Xi walked up to her lightly, stood for a while, and finally sat down beside her.
Huizi lifted her eyelids faintly, her breathing was very light, and everything in the room seemed to be in slow motion.
Lin Xi just wanted to speak, but the person next to her suddenly hugged Lin Xi, and cried uncontrollably and fell into her arms.
Lin Xi was at a loss for a moment, and put his hand on Huizi's back and patted it gently.
And so it went on for a long time.
After a long time, wait until Huizi's crying has subsided. Thinking of Ye Zeyan, who was still waiting at the door, Lin Xi still opened his mouth, "You tell me first, it's not You Yang." β
After saying that, I regretted it, what did the two of them have already had, and they still need You Yangqiang?
The figure in her arms suddenly raised her head from the neck socket, and all the broken hair was scattered on her cheeks, depressed and sloppy, without the vigor of the past.
Fragile muttering with a crying voice, "It's not him......"
Suddenly thought of something, with trepidation in his eyes, "Of course it's not him, you must not tell him." β
He raised his voice again and repeated, "Don't tell him." β
"No, no, no," Lin Xi was nervous and flustered by her, "You calm down first, I definitely won't tell You Yang, no one will say it." β
Seeing Lin Xi agree, Huizi put away her emotions and slowly turned back to her original sluggish trance.
After Lin Xi was kidnapped, he always felt that he had lowered his posture and tried to be empathetic.
But at this time, it was like being violently poked in the back by a stick of "experience", and he stumbled forward on the road called "life".
There are still so many things in life that she can't empathize with, what is the purpose of these illusory things that she insists on for the sake of others?
Just like at this time, she didn't know what Keiko was thinking, and she didn't know what kind of torture and pain she had experienced. Mental and physiological.
Even words of comfort are like casual sarcasm.
It was a long time before she remembered the man outside the door and spoke cautiously.
"I brought a friend," Lin Xi kept paying attention to Huizi's expression as he spoke, "He's a criminal policeman, if you can-"
"You called the police?!"
There was a hint of disbelief in Huizi's tone, Lin Xi expected her reaction, and hurriedly reassured, "I didn't call the police, I just happened to have dinner with him." I brought it because I thought that as a police officer, he might be able to help something. β
Lin Xi gave Huizi another time to react, and only when she saw that she gradually fell silent did she speak again, "He is outside the door now, if you don't want to, I'll let him leave." β
Lin Xi coaxed gently, and she couldn't figure out Huizi's emotions. I was in a dilemma again, and I couldn't leave Huizi behind, but the man also waited outside the door for a long time.
"That'...... Can I let him in and find out?"
Keiko sat there, like a soulless marionette, just shaking her shoulders and sobbing.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to open a door for him and come back right away?"
Huizi didn't answer, Lin Xi knew that this was her acquiescence, and went to open the door for Ye Zeyan.
briefly introduced the identity of Ye Zeyan's criminal investigation captain, she was about to sit down, but Huizi asked her to go to the balcony and wait.
Lin Xi's movements stopped in the air before he could reach the sofa, he stood up straight again, and he still couldn't hold back after thinking for a moment, "Is it Xie Anlun?"
The man who was pursuing her.
Huizi turned his face away from Lin Xi's gaze and didn't speak, Ye Zeyan looked stunned, returned to seriousness, patted Lin Xi's back and pushed her slightly, "You go outside and wait." β
Lin Xi didn't say anything anymore, walked to the balcony and closed the window.
In the southern city in November, the air at night is cool. She tucked her blazer and pulled her cigarette case out of her bag.
Thoughts are tangled and cluttered in the brain, and the smoke is wrapped in the throat, and the thousands of threads are instantly chaotic.
"Lin Xi. The person on the other end of the line answered almost instantly, instinctively and gently calling her name.
The ghost sent the gods, and she called Wen Renjin. She wanted to ask Xie Anlun first, but when she opened her mouth, she still selfishly spoke up for her own affairs.
"What did you do to Chen Zhibiao?"
There was a cold snort from the other end, calm, "I said, I'll deal with it." β
"I also said, don't let you interfere. Without waiting for a moment, Lin Xi replied, "What did you do?" β
"What did the police detective tell you?" said a question, but in an almost declarative tone, "I didn't do anything, just let the people inside give him some greeting gifts." β
He didn't need to say it clearly, Lin Xi knew what it meant, not to mention that Ye Zeyan had already told her a little.
Lin Xi's brows tightened instantly, and his emotions came up at once, "What do you dare to do to Ye Zeyan, I will hate you for the rest of my life." β
Wen Renjin sat in the dimly lit box of the Tang Dynasty, snuggling up to a woman with a beautiful face and a beautiful temperament in the crook of her arm.
After hearing such a sentence, his eyes became darker and darker, turning into a dry well that people could not see the bottom. Eerie and chilling, it is incompatible with the surrounding chaos and lasciviousness.
The hand in his hand that was casually playing with the ends of the woman's hair stopped in the air, if it weren't for Lin Xun on the other end of the phone, he might not be able to help but pull the black hair hard to vent his emotions at this time.
But he couldn't help it, afraid that Lin Xi would hear the woman's screams.
Lin Xi didn't hang up the phone, he knew that she was still waiting to continue explaining.
Wen Renjin clenched his fists with restraint, pushed away the woman beside him without pity, but the tone of his mouth was like a tender spring water, "Well, if he doesn't hurt you, I won't touch him." β
"How dare you?" couldn't help but burst into foul language.
What Lin Xi didn't know was that Wen Renjin couldn't move Ye Zeyan.
The Tang Dynasty box was empty at this time, and the moment he pushed the woman away, everyone noticed that the boss's expression at this time was so cruel that he could drip water, and everyone except Qiang Zai retreated.
"You are calling for Chen Zhibiao. The grandson was afraid that he didn't have long eyes and anyone dared to move, just to teach him a lesson. β
At the end, he continued, "Since those dog's eyes are decorations, I just dug them up for him." The evil aura in his eyes was unscrupulous on the other end of the phone that Lin Xi couldn't see.
In a word, Wen Renjin said it lightly, as if he had just taught a lesson to a livestock.
What Wen Renjin did, Lin Xi didn't know the details but knew a little bit about it, but when it came into his ears so bluntly and nakedly, he was still so shocked that he opened his mouth uncontrollably, and his heart beat wildly uncontrollably in his chest.
She was speechless and dumbfounded by the sourness, and the other end waited patiently, and no one hung up the phone.
Wen Renjin regretted it after speaking. All this dark and rotten reality, he just endured it for her.
But when she threatened him because of another man, a man who stood in the sun and was brighter than him, he still couldn't help but want to "show off" everything he had done for her.
Lin Xi covered the microphone and gasped, and it took a long time before he could speak calmly again, but there was only the calmness and indifference in his tone, "I don't need you to do this-"
"Well, you don't need to, I want to do it, it's none of your business. β
These words choked people to the point of speechlessness.
After another long silence, she took a deep breath, and finally cried uncontrollably, "Wen Renjin, I beg you, you really don't want to do this kind of meaningless and illegal thing." β
She called his name. She used the word "begging".
My heart contracted instantly, and I couldn't breathe in pain.
The right arm has been pinched out of the blood by the left hand, Wen Renjin desperately restrained the desire to vent madly, but he didn't even have the courage to break the glass on the wine table.
He was afraid he would scare her.
And Lin Xi has not accumulated a cloud of anger in his heart in the past few years, and wants to vent it and burn it on Wen Renjin.
It's just that.
She didn't want to open that forbidden door again, and she didn't want to have too much to do with the other party anymore.
In the end, Lin Xi was afraid of Dihua's acquisition and pressed that flame back to the bottom of his heart.
Some unformed emotions should be so rotten in my heart.
The cigarette on her fingertips burned more than halfway, and she took a deep breath, and in the quiet night there was only the small sound of cigarette butts "sizzling" burning.
Her original intention of calling Wen Renjin was to inquire about Xie Anlun's background.
She couldn't ask You Yang, nor Zhang Peng and the others, but she only thought of Wen Renjin.
In front of him, there was an illusion flashing when Chen Zhibiao was snatched of his eyes. Pain, struggle, despair and helplessness.
In an instant, just the tears contained in the eyes burst out of the eyes, and the sour taste choked the throat.
When the cigarette butt was about to burn to his fingertips, the floor-to-ceiling window was opened by Ye Zeyan.
He had finished his questioning and was about to leave.
But at this time, the little woman in front of her was in a trance as if she had no soul, and the light of the cigarette butt jumped on her fingertips but she didn't know it.
"Lin Xi!"
This is the first time Ye Zeyan has called her name.
What a collection for the first time, but Lin Xi didn't have that girlish heart.
The burning sensation on her fingertips was instantly snuffed out by the man, and she was left at a loss, staring at him blankly with a pair of big black and white eyes.
Ye Zeyan. The three words came out tremblingly, and even his back arched irrepressibly, and his face was dripping with tears that opened the floodgates, "Is it okay for you to hug me." β
*
Coming out of the man's arms, the reassuring smell of forest wood on the tip of his nose dissipated. Lin Xi slowed down for a long time before he cleaned up his mood and wiped off the water stains all over his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm out of shape. β
Ye Zeyan thought she was sad about what happened to her friend.
Back in the house, Lin Xi squatted beside Huizi, who was already much calmer, and gently shook Huizi's hand. "I'll stay with you tonight. β
Lin Xun looked up at the man by the door and continued, "I'll send him down for a while and come back immediately." β
Huizi glanced at Ye Zeyan with Lin Xi's movements, and finally nodded.
Huizi opened Lin Xi, and there must be something to say to familiar people. Lin Xi respects her and gives her space, but she must know what's going on.
Downstairs in the apartment, Lin Xi asked Ye Zeyan for answers.
After the Lin Xi Games, the two of them were a little wiped out of Vixx on the night they came out, and they didn't go off.
Xie Anlun asked her to dinner again last night, and it was when Lin Xi called her. After eating, Xie Anlun took her to the Qing bar, and after the date, Xie Anlun sent her home, and after entering the apartment, he strengthened his courage with alcohol, and finally ...... Out of control.
After listening to what happened, Lin Xi was only annoyed and guilty.
Huizi said that she called her after eating. If she had asked for a phone call, would everything have been different?
The meaningless thought flashed, and Lin Xun stepped on his high heels in a trance and didn't stand firmly, and was dragged by the man's arm.
After she came out of the balcony, she was in a very abnormal mood, and Ye Zeyan's deep voice comforted, "It's not your fault. β
"But if I call her againβ"
"No if," the man cut her off stiffly, "you were in a coma in the hospital before, and you think there are so many butterfly effects in this world? β
"There are many possibilities for everything to happen, but none of them are destined to happen or change because of you. Even if you make another phone call, they may just start drinking, and then things will happen. β
The rest of the words were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't swallow or speak.
The man's words were a little rushed, and Lin Xi's little head also hung down, and his hair was scattered to cover the side of his face.
Ye Zeyan couldn't see her expression at this time, and sighed lightly. Her emotions must have fluctuated since she was questioned by him in the restaurant, and then her friend had an accident.
He didn't want to move the topic to Chen Zhibiao's matter, but since she mentioned it, his accusation as a criminal policeman still made him can't help but pursue it.
After hesitating for a moment, a big palm still lightly put on her head, rubbed it, moved it down, and patted Lin Xi's back like a comfort.
The movements are very light, very short, and they are the illusion of gentleness, which is similar to the cold and cold in the restaurant before.
She suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, brushed her hair and raised her head, her back was straight, and her eyes just looked into the distance casually, "So, Ye Zeyan, you invited me to dinner, is it for clichΓ©s?"
