Chapter 1 Death's Gaze (1)

Next Chapter

Yan Xiu leaned on the sofa and looked out the window motionlessly.

Outside the window, the sky was overcast, the rain was still dripping, and the sound of rain and thunder mixed with the faint cries of animals filled the room.

The familiar sound of going upstairs came from far and near, and the door slammed open from the outside.

Originally, many kittens and puppies in the room who were still lying on their stomachs seemed to smell the familiar smell, and ran in the direction of the door, surrounding Fang Xinling in groups, and the golden retriever led by him was even more excited to pounce on Fang Xinling's body, but Fang Xinling did not show a bright smile to them as usual, but casually threw the umbrella on the ground, and walked straight to Yan Xiu without even having time to change his slippers.

"Yan Xiu, are you serious? Are you sure you want to break up with me? Fang Xinling's face was furious, and his eyes looked at Yan Xiu with complicated eyes.

Fang Xinling was supposed to be a tour guide from a foreign sightseeing group in Liancheng at this time, but he received a WeChat message from Yan Xiu early in the morning, and immediately found a colleague to replace today's shift, and then rushed back non-stop.

Yan Xiu's gaze slowly moved to Fang Xinling's body, Fang Xinling met Yan Xiu's eyes, those eyes that were stretched and charming deep sockets, indifferent and distant at this time, and then heard Yan Xiu reply in that dumb smoked voice.

"I'm sure."

Fang Xinling's eyes turned red almost as soon as Yan Xiu's words fell, and then he lowered his head and pursed his lower lips. But after a while, Fang Xinling raised her head slightly, and squeezed out a smile from the corner of her mouth, even if she smiled ugly, Fang Xinling at this moment would never allow her to shed another tear in front of Yan Xiu.

This time, Fang Xinling didn't ask why, nor did he hug Yan Xiu and beg him not to leave, but just let out a soft 'um'.

Seeing that Fang Xinling agreed so happily, Yan Xiu looked at her with a little surprise.

"Xinling."

"Yan Xiu, I don't need you to remind me, I will also move my things from your house as soon as possible, and I will also take away the cats and puppies that you dislike."

Fang Xinling spoke so quickly that Yan Xiu didn't even have a chance to interject, he quickly got up but could only look at her who turned his face to the side without saying a word, and after some struggle, Yan Xiu finally nodded slightly.

"Okay."

The only ray of hope left in Fang Xinling's heart was also extinguished at this moment, she turned around and dialed her friend Su Xiaonan's phone with tears in her eyes.

"Xiaonan, can I temporarily put those kittens and puppies I adopted in your house for a few days?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line for a few seconds.

"Okay, when are you going to bring it here?"

"It's going to be an hour at the earliest, and I'll contact the moving company right away."

"Do you need my help?"

"Yes, if you have something to do, you don't need to."

"I'll go now."

As soon as Fang Xinling hung up the phone, he heard Yan Xiu's voice coming.

"You don't have to move out in such a hurry, it's still raining outside, it's not very convenient."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I want to move out as soon as possible." Fang Xinling didn't even look at Yan Xiu and continued to call the moving company.

Yan Xiu looked at Fang Xinling's stubborn back, sighed helplessly, and sat back on the sofa smoking cigarettes one after another.

The small animals in the room, who were usually noisy, also seemed to notice the unusual atmosphere between the two, and they all looked at them with teary eyes, at a loss.

"The address is 402, Building 5, Yanglan Community, No. 128 Wencheng Road."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come over."

After Fang Xinling hung up the phone, he took out the suitcase from the adjacent utility room, and began to take out the clothes from the closet, fold them, and put them inside. The golden retriever whined at Yan Xiu, and after waiting for a while, he found that Yan Xiu didn't pay attention to it, so he ran around the room with Fang Xinling, and it followed Fang Xinling wherever he went, and rubbed Fang Xinling's feet with his body from time to time.

However, when Fang Xinling saw a photo of her and Yan Xiu at Disney two years ago in the bedroom, the tears in her eyes were like being touched by the floodgates, and they continued to flow down, and even the hands holding the photos were trembling.

This photo is a photo taken by the staff during the trial operation period of Disneyland, Yan Xiu took Fang Xinling to play, and the two people at that time also secretly agreed to come to Disneyland together on August 1 every year, no matter how busy they are. There was only less than a week left until August 1st this year, and thinking that she would never have the opportunity to come here with Yan Xiu again in the future, Fang Xinling felt very sad, as if an invisible hand was pinching her chest.

The golden retriever, who had been by Fang Xinling's side, noticed the tears on her face, and almost immediately turned back to the hall and took the paper on the table, and shouted at Fang Xinling very angrily. When Fang Xinling turned his head to see the golden retriever's eyes full of worry, suddenly a warm current surged up from the depths of his heart, as if he was not so sad all of a sudden, Fang Xinling picked up a tissue and wiped the tears on his face, then lowered his body and hugged the golden retriever, and whispered in his ear: "Pudding, thank you." ”

Pudding screamed happily, sticking out his tongue and looking at Fang Xinling with a smile in his eyes.

Su Xiaonan arrived ten minutes earlier than the moving company, and glared at him fiercely when he entered the door and met Yan Xiu.

"Where's Xinling?"

Yan Xiu pointed in the direction of the bedroom, and continued to smoke, there were already several cigarette butts on the ashtray on the table.

When Su Xiaonan walked over, Fang Xinling just took out the photo of her and Yan Xiu from the suitcase and put it on the table.

"Xinling, you did the right thing, you have to break it all off, like this group photo, souvenirs, all have to be thrown away, it's not worth keeping it." Su Xiaonan deliberately raised her voice and said, her eyes glancing in the direction of Yan Xiu's sitting when she spoke.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Fang Xinling didn't take Su Xiaonan's tone, and asked.

"There haven't been any cases in the bureau recently, and I'm idle there, so I asked the leader for leave." Su Xiaonan said.

Fang Xinling looked at Su Xiaonan gratefully, then lowered his head and continued to pack his things.

Su Xiaonan walked around the room for a while, then walked back to the group photo that Fang Xinling had just put down, picked it up and looked at it for a while, and said in a weird manner: "Xinling, if you want to take this photo, it's okay, at least it can always alert you that there is such a scumbag who has hurt you, you say, oh, people now are really not as good as dogs, you look at the pudding, you are so good to it It at least still knows, unlike some people, you have been good with him for three years, this is not to say don't want it, tsk." ”

As soon as Fang Xinling wanted to stop Su Xiaonan, the moving company called.

"Xiaonan, the people from the moving company have gone downstairs, we can go down now."

"Okay, do you need me to help you carry something?"

"You can help me carry this bag, I'll pull the suitcase, and I'll call someone from the moving company to come up and move the rest later."

"Okay."

Fang Xinling pulled the box and walked out of the door of the apartment without looking back, Yan Xiu looked at Fang Xinling's back, hesitated for a while, and then got up and chased after him, Su Xiaonan was the last to go, so he saw Yan Xiu chasing after Fang Xinling's side, and was about to snatch the box in Fang Xinling's hand without saying a word, but Fang Xinling did not let go.

"Yan Xiu, what are you going to do?" Fang Xinling looked at Yan Xiu angrily.

"The box is too heavy, I'll help you carry it down." Yan Xiu said expressionlessly.

"No, I don't."

But Yan Xiu didn't care whether Fang Xinling agreed or not, and grabbed the suitcase in Fang Xinling's hand with a lot of strength, and walked quickly downstairs, Fang Xinling looked at Yan Xiu's back in a daze behind him.

I don't know when the rain outside stopped, and the fine sunlight passed through the windows in the corridor into a thin layer, like an impenetrable fog covering Yan Xiu's body, becoming more and more blurred.
