Chapter 18: The Closest Place to Death

Gorgeous crystal lamps cast a faint light, making the whole restaurant appear elegant and quiet, and soft saxophone music fills the whole room.

Du Yan saw Yan Mu walking slowly at a glance, straightened his eyes, and looked incredulous, "Year, year falls." ”

Yan Mu smiled kindly, and sat down next to Yu Wen, avoiding Du Yan's sharp eyes.

"Yan Mu, Du Yan. Mi Luo briefly introduced to the other party.

A smile overflowed at the corner of Du Yan's mouth, "Yan Mu, hello, I'm Du Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Yan Mu politely shook Du Yan's hand stretched out to him, "Hello, Du Yan." ”

"I ordered all the food you liked to eat before, I don't know if your appetite has changed now, you can't drink, we all replace wine with juice today, I wish you a happy birthday." Du Yan raised his glass elegantly, "I accompanied you for your birthday last year, but I will accompany you on every birthday in the future." ”

"Ah, I really want to say it so affectionately, Du Yan, I also wish you a happy birthday, and you need me to be there at any time for every birthday in the future. Yu Wenxi said with a smile.

Yan Mu swallowed the saliva in his throat, hesitating and not knowing how to speak.

"Okay, don't be so sensational, touch a glass, I'm hungry. Mi Luo touched Yan Mu's cup hanging in the air.

Their topics seem to never finish, from reminiscing about the past to looking forward to the future, laughter and conversation linger in their ears, Yan Mu silently enjoys dinner, so out of place, without the director's arrangement, all rely on their own on-the-spot performance, more and more challenges, and more and more difficult tasks.

Yan Mu leaned against the wall of the bathroom and exhaled a sigh of relief, looked at the haggard face in the mirror, touched his face distressedly, walked out, looked in the direction of the voice in the dispute, and quickly retreated.

"Can you listen to me once, let Yan Mu leave you, the fall of the year ruined the first half of your life, do you still want her to ruin the second half of your life? Have you forgotten how Uncle Xi died? Have you forgotten how you got to where you are now? My sacrifice, Uncle Xi's sacrifice, you don't care!" Du Yan's tearful eyes were full of sorrow.

"I'll take care of it myself, you just returned to China, can we have fun today?"

Du Yan threw himself into Mi Luo's arms, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid she will hurt you, I don't want to." ”

"I know, I have a sense of proportion. Mi Luo stroked Du Yan's hair.

Yan Mu rubbed his cold fingers and walked out in a tangled manner, making eye contact with them for only a brief moment, and walked past them indifferently.

Mi Luo didn't let go of his embrace, but his eyes kept following the direction Yan Mu left.

Walking out of the restaurant, the streets are lit up with various buildings glittering with neon lights.

"You and Yu Wen go to the bar first, and I'll send Yan Mu back. Milo took the car keys from the waiter.

"Aren't you going, Yan Mu isn't going to have a birthday party at the bar at night, you can go and play together! Why don't you go? Aren't you comfortable?" Du Yan took Yan Mu's hand affectionately.

He smiled awkwardly, "I want to go home, you guys go play!" I, I'll take a taxi back, oh, I don't know the address of home yet." Yan Mu looked at Miluo.

"Otherwise, let's go together, the bar is not open tonight, it's full of people I know. Milo said.

Yan Mu glanced at Mi Luo and nodded embarrassedly, in fact, like this kind of large-scale internal gathering, Yan Mu is extremely eager to go, only the closer to their lives, more evidence can be found, but the direction of the plot has to be extremely reluctant.

Intense drumbeats, loud crowds, even sitting in the corner listening to the clash of wine glasses and out-of-control laughter.

After a while, Du Yan asked Mi Luo to accompany him back to the hotel to deal with some urgent matters, and after they left, Yu Wen found a group of brightly dressed women, leaned beside them with a smile, and teased them with flirtatious language.

Suddenly, Yu Wen grabbed the hair of the woman next to him, pushed him to the ground hard, kicked him a few times, held up the woman's scarred face, and looked at the frightened Yan Mu, "This woman just told me that she was very curious about my life and tried her best to please me, but I'm sorry, I don't like such a woman." With a fierce face, he sat next to Yan Mu, "Why don't you change your career to become an actor?" I know that you are an undercover agent sent by the police, and Brother Luo is dazed by your bluffing, but I am very sober. ”

Subconsciously clenched his fists, "Why don't you change careers and become a writer?" You have such a rich imagination, maybe you are the next Shakespeare." Yan Mu replied calmly.

Yu Wen laughed coldly, "Wait for Brother Luo's freshness to you is gone, oh, no, now that Du Yan is back, he shouldn't have much interest in you anymore, you will leave by yourself, otherwise if I find any evidence, you will die ugly." Triumphantly walked onto the dance floor.

The injured woman struggled to get up and walked away.

In the hotel, Du Yan gave Mi Luo the analysis of Yu Wen's doubts about Yan Mu being an undercover agent, and made a very sincere suggestion to persuade Mi Luo to let Yan Mu leave, and inevitably a quarrel occurred, in order to prevent the quarrel from becoming more and more intense, Mi Luo chose to leave.

Speeding all the way to the bar and through the crowd, Mi Luo dragged Yan Musheng into the car, his eyebrows full of boredom.

"You're already speeding, don't you hear the navigation alerting you?" Yan Mu reminded.

Mi Luo looked at the front in distraught, his eyes were cold and intimidating, Yan Mu leaned against the seat and closed his eyes.

The screeching sound of brakes sounded in his ears, Yan Mu opened his eyes in panic, there was silence all around, Mi Luo indifferently dragged Yan Mu out of the car, and pushed forward.

The moon hung high in the night sky, the faint silver light shone obliquely on the cold stone monument, and the dark cemetery garden was cold and terrifying.

stopped in front of Xi's father's tombstone, "Tell me in front of my father, whether you are an undercover agent, whether you are an undercover agent sent by the police." Mi Luo's eyes looked directly at Yan Mu.

Yan Mu felt a chill on his back, the blood in his whole body boiled, and his heart pounded in his chest as if it was about to fly.

Mi Luo gloomily grabbed Yan Mu's neck, "You are an undercover agent sent by the police, right?"

Yan Mu grabbed the wrist that was choking her throat violently, and the pressure on her chest intensified, and at that moment she really felt the killing intent, until she was finally forced to breathe heavily due to lack of oxygen, Mi Luo let go of her hand, staggered and fell to the ground, tears sliding down with a cough.

Tears flowed silently from Mi Luo's sad face, and he stood in place in a daze looking at the helpless Yan Mu on the ground, guilt and resentment crisscrossing him.

In the early hours of the morning, when it rained, the streets were no longer crowded, and the traffic slowed down one by one.

At the intersection, the traffic lights flickered lonely, Yan Mu leaned against the car window, looked at the rain-soaked glass, closed his eyes and felt the resonance of crying.

The car was parked smoothly in the parking lot, and they were silent and did not get out of the car, and the atmosphere of grief became more and more intense.

Mi Luo lifted Yan Mu's tearful face, kissed her pale lips, and kissed her shallowly.

Yan Mu didn't resist, just didn't move, and he didn't know whether it was indifference or a shocked expression on his face.

Mi Luo hugged her tightly, reached out to wipe away Yan Mu's tears, and his deep eyes flashed with apologies, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Slowly, it came to her ear.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, "Thank you for taking care of you recently, I will pay you back what I owe you, I'm really happy to know you." Yan Mu pushed Mi Luo away, resolutely got out of the car and walked to the exit, a grief that she had never experienced before surrounded her little by little.
