The sun is setting, the parasol is redundant, and there is an unopened cup of vanilla milk tea on the pure white iron table.

The evening breeze was blowing, and the huge "French plane tree" once again waited for the girl wearing the butterfly hairpin, but this time, the little girl no longer had a silver bell-like laughter, she cried and carefully put down the carton in her arms, and opened the golden leaves on the ground with her hands, handful after hand, crying and digging.

This is an unknown path, few people pass, Li Qianchen walked slowly, and noticed the little girl under the tree from a distance, he sat down on the bench on the side of the road, quietly looking at the opposite side.

She was digging a pit, one that was neither big nor small, just enough to accommodate a cardboard box on the side.

She put the carton into the dug pit, staring at the lid of the carton with teary eyes, her fingers were worn out, she reached out on the carton, wanted to open it, but still did not open it, she gently put her beloved butterfly hairpin on the carton, and then handful after handful of filler, until it was filled.

A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard stumbled along, staggering and looking like he had drunk a lot of wine, and he sat down on a bench, spread his legs and tilted his head up, as if sobering up.

"In that carton, it's a corpse." The man said vaguely.

Li Qianchen still looked at the little girl, "I see, it's a teddy dog." ”

The girl sat on her knees, staring at the filled ground in a daze, she couldn't see that the soul of the teddy dog was standing in front of her, barking at her.

"Hey, it's boring." The man rolled his eyes, "An old monster who has lived for hundreds of years will also stop because of an innocent little girl." ”

Li Qianchen retracted his gaze and turned to look at the man beside him, "Do you know her?" How did that teddy dog die? ”

"She was beaten to death by her father, I remember it was a few years ago, and the family of three and the teddy came here to camp, and the man had a secret."

"It's innocent, isn't it?"

The man turned his head to look at Li Qianchen and said: "A dog is just a pet, for people, it is just a pet, when you are happy, you will tease it, when you are angry, you will abandon it, or even kill it, you should be very accustomed to it, right?" After all, in your eyes, people are the same as dogs, and they are not worth mentioning. ”

Li Qianchen's hand trembled slightly, "Mortals are like ants, life and death are never up to you", "He is the only ant", the words he said seemed to linger in his ears.

"It turns out that it's because ...... like this," Li Qianchen muttered, and he suddenly realized.

"Hey, the dignified Ninth Master, came all the way to find me, is it just to let me listen to your nonsense?"

"You don't understand." The answer he was looking for has been found, Li Qianchen is no longer staying, Yi Seventeen must be looking for him, he should go back.

"Li Qianchen!" The man sat up and shouted, Li Qianchen paused, turned his back to the man and said, "When did you dare to call me by my name?" Qiu Ci! ”

Qiu Ci sat up in shock, "I want to remind you that now that Jinling has gathered several big demons, even the guests from all directions do not dare to act rashly, the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits." ”

"Aren't you among these big demons?"

Li Qianchen asked rhetorically, and then slowly left.

Leaving Qiu Ci to look back not far away, the girl was no longer visible under the plane tree, the wind blew the leaves and fell, maybe overnight, the fallen leaves would cover the land again, but this memory will accompany the little girl for a lifetime.

"Mole ants...... Shen Yuan...... But that's ......."

……

The young violinist was playing an elegant piece of music, and the gorgeous lighting made this western restaurant look extraordinarily elegant, just like the European royal family and aristocrats in the 18th century, An Linyou carefully prepared everything, he wore the custom Brioni suit, and even wore perfume, dressed up, and wanted to express his heart through this dinner.

When Li Qianchen returned to the downstairs of the community, he saw Yi Seventeen squatting on the side of the road, Yi Seventeen failed to find him, so he waited for him to come back there, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

An Linyou was very gentlemanly to pull the chair for Yi Seventeen, and taught Yi Seventeen to use a knife and fork, Li Qianchen did not speak the whole time, when Li Qianchen was ready to put the cut steak into Yi Seventeen's plate, An Linyou directly exchanged his plate with Yi Seventeen.

The waiter poured red wine for the three of them, An Linyou raised his hand to signal, the music paused, he held the red wine glass and said: "Those unpleasant things have passed, for the sake of Seventeen's face, I forgive you." ”

Li Qianchen raised the wine glass, did not clink glasses, took a sip and put the wine glass down, cut the steak while saying: "For the sake of Seventeen's face, I forgive you for your offense, but in the next time, you better settle down, I allow anyone to be good to Seventeen, as long as it is well-intentioned, but excluding people with ulterior motives." ”

An Linyou smiled and put the wine glass down as if nothing had happened, "Seventeen, do you think I have something to do with you?" ”

Yi Qiqi put down the knife and fork, turned to look at An Linyou, and asked rhetorically, "No?" ”

"Absolutely." An Linyou said bluntly, leaned forward, crossed his fingers with his hands, supported his chin, and looked directly at Yi Seventeen without concealment: "My intention is obvious enough, that is, I want to pursue you, I don't think this is an ulterior motive, if you really want to say it, it is also to make you fall in love with me." ”

An Linyou's words were very explicit, as if he was afraid that Yi Seventeen would not understand, but he didn't care at all what this was a man said to another man.

Yi Seventeen took off the square scarf on his chest, "Is this the reason why you have carefully prepared?" Yes, I feel your intentions, I like osmanthus cake instead of steak, red wine is very expensive but also very astringent, thank you for being so generous in your hospitality to us, but we are not people of the world. ”

Yi Seventeen's calm tone couldn't tell the joy and anger, but every word he said was sharp, like a quick knife cutting through the chaos, completely cutting off An Linyou's unrealistic fantasy.

An Linyou was slightly disappointed, but fleeting, he expected this result, he would not be discouraged, he had never had such a strong desire to like someone, he decided that Yi Seventeen was his destiny, and he would never give up easily.

"It was my mistake, I should have asked you about your preferences in advance, but I just feel that I am a person of the same world as you, because from now on, you are my world."

A trace of panic flashed in Yi Seventeen's eyes, and he immediately felt strange why his heart suddenly beat faster, although it was only for a moment, it was something that had never been done before.

Li Qianchen glanced sideways slightly, this time his feeling was obvious, just a moment, Yi Seventeen's heart moved, this was originally impossible.

"Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom."

Yi Seventeen got up suddenly, and walked a little flustered, as if he had fled.

Li Qianchen shifted his gaze to An Linyou, and said with a gaze: "I see, Su Chan didn't tell you that the talisman is two-way, right?" It does make Seventeen's heart move, but you are more affected than Seventeen, and you are willing to give up everything, including your life, and use everything to die for Seventeen. If it were someone else, you would have succeeded, but seventeen, you would have died. ”

An Linyou subconsciously touched the pocket on his chest, which contained the talisman paper given to him by Su Chan, he never thought that he would be seen through by Li Qianchen so easily.

An Linyou said: "I am not afraid of death, especially for the people I like. ”

Li Qianchen sneered, full of contempt, An Linyou didn't understand at all, Yi Seventeen couldn't have feelings, he couldn't fall in love with anyone at all, this was a secret that only Li Qianchen knew, he saw it with his own eyes, Yi Seventeen only had six spirits.

"What is the essence of love? Give and take. Giving up what you have and getting what you expect, I don't deny your love for Seventeen, just like everything you do, what has happened is the truth. So what can you give? We are not ordinary people, everything you show today, your financial resources, your power, your connections, these are insignificant to him, I have lived for hundreds of years, and I am richer than you in these things. What can Seventeen get from you? ”

Li Qianchen could guess that Su Chan sent An Linyou talisman paper, and it was precisely because he saw through everything that at this moment, he had such a question.

"Lived for a hundred years? Then you are indeed amazing, which is why you regard Seventeen as the most important person, because he makes you feel warm. I can't compare to you, I don't have as much as you have, but I'm ordinary and ordinary enough, I can like him very purely, so that he can experience what it's like to be liked all the time, which may not be what he needs but what he scarces. ”

Li Qianchen sat back, and suddenly found that the man in front of him was not as simple as he imagined, at least he had grasped some very important things.

"Seventeen is a family to me, an integral part of me, how about we make a bet? Just bet that when you give up everything for him, including life, will he cry because of you, you win, I will give you a chance to accompany him forever, if you lose, I will imprison your soul in the world forever, dare to bet? ”

"Why don't you dare?"

An Linyou is very confident, after seeing Yi Seventeen, he firmly believes that this life can only be Yi Seventeen, if not, his life is no longer meaningful.

Li Qianchen took a drop of his own blood and handed it to An Linyou and said: "This drop of blood is a contract, and I am looking forward to the ending of this gambling contract." ”

Yi Seventeen went to the bathroom and didn't come back, An Linyou suddenly received a call from Sheep Horn, the voice of Sheep Horn was very flustered on the phone, and Zuo Feng was gone.

Li Qianchen went to the bathroom to look for Yi Seventeen, the bathroom was splendid, even the nozzle of the sink was gold-plated, Li Qianchen called Yi Seventeen's name, but did not get a reply, the bathroom was empty, he began to look for it one by one from the first compartment, until the last compartment, the door showed that there were people inside.

Li Qianchen knocked on the door and said, "Seventeen, are you inside?" It's time for us to go, Seventeen? ”

After knocking a few more times, the people in the compartment still didn't reply, Li Qianchen was a little anxious, and just as he was about to break the door, Yi Seventeen's voice came from behind him.

"Thousand dusts? What's wrong? ”

"Zuo Feng is gone, it should be Cheng Fei'er."

"Then let's go back."

"Wait a minute. Call the police first, there is a body in it. ”
