Yang Lei lay on Fang Yu, calming down his breathing.

When he finally came down from his climax, Fang Yu had already pushed him aside and got off the bed to walk toward the restroom.

“…”

Yang Lei had come to his senses. He found a tissue and messily wiped his lower body. He sat uneasily by the bed, somewhat at a loss.

When the strength of the climax passed, he knew that just now, things had truly gone too far..

Fang Yu came out from the restroom. Before Yang Lei could see his expression clearly, Fang Yu had already reached out his hand and turned off the video. The room immediately went dark.

Fang Yu didn’t say anything. He lay on the bed and pulled up the blankets.

“…”

Yang Lei looked at him, not knowing what he should say.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

“…Fang Yu.”

After a long time, Yang Lei called him in a low voice.

Fang Yu didn’t respond.

“Are you upset?” Yang Lei’s heart was anxious, as he looked at Fang Yu’s back.

After a while, Yang Lei heard Fang Yu’s voice.

“Sleep,” Fang Yu said.

He couldn’t detect any feelings in his voice. He couldn’t tell whether or not he was angry.

But Yang Lei was very clear that Fang Yu’s lack of emotions actually meant he felt something. When Fang Yu was really unhappy, he wouldn’t express anything at all, but instead become completely cold.

“…” Yang Lei was dejected. He started to regret being too excited just now. He was worried that in the future, Fang Yu would avoid him like he avoided Hua Mao.

“…I was just… momentarily excited…” Yang Lei rambled, “I really didn’t mean anything else…”

His tongue that was always smooth was now useless.

“…I just wanted more excitement… I played a little too much…” Yang Lei could only say this.

Fang Yu responded. Fang Yu suddenly raised his voice.

“Should you play around like that?!”

Fang Yu was really angry.

Yang Lei knew that he would definitely be angry, but Yang Lei’s heart was still unutterably upset.

“You don’t think it’s weird?”

Fang Yu’s voice was rough. Yang Lei felt like his heart was stabbed by a needle.

“If you’re unhappy, then beat me up,” Yang Lei said glumly.

“Beat me until you’re satisfied.”

Fang Yu suddenly turned around, staring at Yang Lei.

Yang Lei, who was sitting on the bed, met his eyes. Fang Yu’s stare made him feel guilty, nervous, and a little helpless.

Fang Yu suddenly kicked him. This kick wasn’t at all uncertain. The kick nearly caused Yang Lei’s leg to cramp immediately.

“…If it were someone else today, I would fucking throw him down from here,” Fang Yu said.

Hearing these words, Yang Lei didn’t know whether he should be happy or upset.

“…Don’t play like that in the future!” Fang Yu finally said with restraint.

After that day, Yang Lei still frequently went to Fang Yu’s place, but he didn’t usually stay overnight.

Later on, although neither of them mentioned that night, Yang Lei knew that not talking about some things didn’t mean that they were resolved.

Fang Yu didn’t avoid him like he had worried about. He was still the same as before toward him and his attitude hadn’t changed, but Yang Lei also didn’t know if it was all in his head or what. He just felt that things weren’t quite the same as before.

When they were alone together, especially when they were alone at night in Fang Yu’s room, there would always be some inexpressible awkwardness.

Afterward, Yang Lei would very consciously return home on time, and Fang Yu didn’t ask him to stay.

Sometimes Yang Lei also thought dejectedly, actually, to say it plainly, that wasn’t it just two people who gave each other a handjob? It was just that things went a little too far. When men played like this, it was very normal for the gun to fire as it was being wiped. At that time, who could control it?

He didn’t know exactly what Fang Yu thought about that night. He wanted to ask several times, but held back his words.

Laying on his own bed, Yang Lei thought of that night countless times.

As he thought about it, his breathing became heavy, and he couldn’t stop himself from reaching his hand toward his lower body…

Thinking of Fang Yu’s face when he climaxed, Yang Lei came hard…

Fang Yu became Grand Century Restaurant’s general manager. He was more than several times busier than when he was at Bright Billiards Room. After all, Grand Restaurant was a real business. It wasn’t the gangdom’s fights and murders. There were too many things to take care of.

Luo Jiu handing this restaurant to Fang Yu was his complete trust in him. He let Fang Yu completely handle everything.

Grand Century Restaurant was in a good location, the market was good, the food and service were all good, and it was supported by both the gangdom and legitimate organizations. Could business be bad? It was packed every night. The people who were waiting for a table all lined up outside. In those years, queuing outside to eat in a restaurant was really rare, but Grand Century Restaurant was one place.

One night, Yang Lei entered Grand Restaurant. At a glance he saw Fang Yu standing behind the manager’s desk and explaining something.

Fang Yu was still wearing a crisp white dress shirt, tucked into his pants as usual, showing his strong waist and powerful long legs.

Yang Lei went over to greet him and waited at the second-floor manager’s office. After a while, Fang Yu came in, fatigue shown all over his face.

When Fang Yu came in, he sat on the sofa, looking very tired.

“You’ve lost weight from being busy.” Yang Lei could see the tiniest changes in Fang Yu’s body.

“How can I not be busy? There are too many things to do. But business is really good.” Fang Yu was very tired, but there was a lot of radiance in his eyes. He really liked doing this work.

“Of course it’s good. Can’t you see who the general manager is?” As Yang Lei bantered, his heart ached as he looked at Fang Yu’s exhausted appearance. Seeing that Fang Yu was rubbing his shoulders, he walked over.

“I’ll knead it for you.”

Fang Yu turned his back to him. Yang Lei started to massage him.

“My boss’s company accepted some projects. I’ll also be busy. I may not have time to come over for some time,” Yang Lei said.

“How long?”

“I don’t know. Maybe a month or two.” Yang Lei intentionally gave a longer time.

“I also have to go to the provincial capital. Boss said if things go well, I’ll probably live there for half a year.”

Yan Ziyi truly had mentioned this to Yang Lei, but Yang Lei still didn’t want to part with Fang Yu like this. Yan Ziyi also actually hadn’t decided if he should let this capable subordinate go to the provincial capital, so he had really only mentioned this.

“You’ll no longer be able to see me, so meet with me while you can.” Yang Lei wanted to see Fang Yu’s reaction.

Fang Yu really took it seriously.

“When do you leave?”

“Next week.”

“That soon?”

“You’re busy anyway. Let’s meet after half a year!”

“…” Fang Yu was silent.

Yang Lei observed Fang Yu’s expression. His heart was a little happy.

“Judging from your meaning, you don’t want me to leave, Manager Fang?” Yang Lei truly saw Fang Yu’s disappointment at that moment.

“Don’t, I’ll still make the time to come back now and then!” Yang Lei was really happy.

“Get farther away, you!”

Fang Yu furrowed his brows.

“Saturday, come over to my place. I’ll see you off.”

Yang Lei asked Fang Yu to borrow the motorcycle for work. On Saturday, he first went out to do some work. Once the sky had slightly darkened, he hurried to Fang Yu’s place. Ever since he thought Yang Lei would leave, Fang Yu would call Yang Lei as soon as he was free. He didn’t say much over the phone, just chatting.

“You’re not busy?” Yang Lei looked at his watch. “Isn’t it mealtime?”

“We do things in order. When there’s nothing special, it’s not busy. Why? Can’t I even talk to you?”

“Okay, okay. Whatever you say is okay.” Yang Lei was all smiles. He knew that Fang Yu didn’t want him to leave.

As Yang Lei quickly rode the motorcycle to Fang Yu’s place, he thought about what Fang Yu’s expression would be once he told Fang Yu that he wasn’t actually leaving. Fang Yu would probably beat him up again, but he just wanted to see the change in Fang Yu’s expressions because of him.

Yang Lei gradually started to know what he wanted, and he gradually understood what he should do.

The motorcycle turned, flying forward. But as Yang Lei drove on the road normally, an approaching big truck across from him suddenly lost control and came straight at Yang Lei.

Yang Lei was in a daze. His hands and feet reacted quicker than his brain. He instinctively swerved right and hit the floor. The motorcycle wheel that had fallen off had already collided with the big truck. At this time, Yang Lei had already thrown himself to the side. There was a sharp screeching of brakes and the crowd’s screams. By the time Yang Lei came to his senses, the truck driver had already gotten out. His face went white with fear when he saw that Yang Lei was covered in blood.

Yang Lei also realized that he was bloody all over and there was blood all under him, but he wondered why he didn’t really seem to hurt anywhere. Looking closely, when he had thrown himself off, he just happened to knock over a street stall that was selling chickens. Several large buckets of chicken blood were knocked onto the ground.

Yang Lei stood up and inspected himself for a while. There wasn’t anything serious, just a large piece of skin that had been scraped off his arm.

But in the eyes of the onlooking crowd, this scene was very horrifying.

Yang Lei stood covered in blood, which was still dripping down to the ground, like a bloody man.

The motorcycle was knocked over to one side. It was already seriously deformed from the collision.

The truck driver nearly fainted from fear.

“It’s okay! Nothing serious!” Yang Lei was still comforting the truck driver.

There just happened to be traffic police nearby. They hurried over to deal with the accident. When they saw Yang Lei like this, they were also frightened. Disregarding Yang Lei saying that he wasn’t injured, they told the truck driver to quickly take Yang Lei to the hospital for a check-up, and the others closed the scene of the accident to keep people away.

Yang Lei was forcefully dragged into a police car and taken to the hospital. He was still thinking about Fang Yu’s motorcycle. That motorcycle looked to be completely destroyed.

“I’m fine, but you have to pay for the bike,” Yang Lei told the driver. “Something can happen to me, but nothing can happen to the bike!”

“Brother, as long as you’re fine, I will pay for anything!” The driver knew that if he had really hit and killed someone today, he would have to go to jail for the rest of his life.

At the hospital check-up, all the blood was found to be chicken blood. Other than a large piece of broken skin, nothing had happened to Yang Lei.

“This young man is capable!” the doctor sighed after hearing the situation. “Your reactions are pretty sharp!”

“Doctor, can I leave? I really have an urgent matter.” Yang Lei was still thinking about Fang Yu who was waiting for him.

“What’s the rush? Get disinfected and bandaged! Although it’s just a scrape, if it gets infected and inflamed, you’ll also suffer!” The doctor had never seen someone so calm after experiencing something so serious.

She didn’t know that for a street fighter like Yang Lei who had come up from the bottom with knives, guns, and sticks, let alone chicken blood, even if it was really his blood, he would still be calm.

Yang Lei could only line up downstairs and wait for the doctor to deal with it.

As Yang Lei was lining up downstairs, someone dashed into the hospital. That person really dashed in. Even the bike was directly thrown at the hospital’s entrance.

He directly rushed to the emergency desk, greatly startling the nurse.

“Nurse, was there someone who was sent in from a car accident, called Yang Lei?”

The nurse saw that the person asking was a very handsome young man, but his expression was extremely bad.

“I’ll check. Please don’t worry.” The nurse even smiled at him, starting to flip through the record book.

When Yang Lei turned around and saw him, Fang Yu’s face was covered with sweat and had gone pale.

“Is there one or not?” Fang Yu’s voice suddenly rose. He was nearly screaming.

He had frightened the young nurse.

“…I still haven’t found it… Just now someone from a car accident was sent to the operating room. They seemed close to death…”

“Fang Yu!”

Yang Lei hurriedly screamed. Fang Yu didn’t hear him at all. He had already rushed toward the operating room.

The red operating light was on at the entrance of the operating room. A bunch of relatives were gathered outside, wailing.

“…”

Fang Yu’s mind was in a daze. He stood there, unmoving.

Fang Yu had gone out to buy cooked vegetables when he saw the car accident.

The car accident location wasn’t far from his house. It was already within the farmer’s market, at the corner of the street. Seeing so many people gathered there, Fang Yu heard that there had been a car accident. He originally didn’t want to watch the excitement, but the store where he bought cooked vegetables was at that corner. Once he walked over, he heard the owner of the cooked vegetables store chattering, “Terrifying! There was blood all over the ground! The person definitely died!”

Fang Yu glanced at the crowd. Through the gaps in the crowd, he saw the motorcycle on the ground.

Fang Yu’s heart stopped for a beat.

He suddenly pushed through the crowd and walked over, and saw that the motorcycle on the ground was already deformed into a pile of metal scraps. He saw the familiar blue seat and license plate number.

“Where’s the person? What happened to the person?!” Fang Yu rushed over and grabbed a traffic police officer.

“Sent to Third Hospital!” This traffic police officer had also come afterward to tow the big truck. He hadn’t seen Yang Lei at all.

“What a pity! How big this truck is! It just rushed over like this, with a ‘ka.’ That young man got run over… Oh my… The ground was covered with blood… That bleeding… What a pity…”

There were always busybodies who clearly hadn’t seen the incident, but they added reasonable embellishments, telling stories to the people around them.

There were bloodstains all over the ground. Everyone saw them. Fang Yu also saw them.

“He was probably dying as he was carried into the car… What a sin… Such a young age…”

“Hey, hey! What are you doing?! Ai!!”

Someone started shouting. Fang Yu snatched the bicycle of someone who had been standing on the side watching all the excitement. He jumped on and rushed out of the crowd.

Now, Fang Yu was standing at the entrance of the operating room, but he couldn’t take a single step toward it.

His face was expressionless, and his hands and feet were cold.

Yang Lei ran behind Fang Yu, yet couldn’t catch up to him. He never knew that Fang Yu could run so fast.

With difficulty, he chased him up to the fourth floor. Yang Lei took a turn and nearly collided with Fang Yu.

He saw that Fang Yu looked dazed, standing outside the operating room, unmoving like a puppet.

Yang Lei was about to shout “Fang Yu,” but he swallowed it down.

Seeing Fang Yu like this, he understood everything.

He slowly walked to Fang Yu’s back, reached out, and covered Fang Yu’s eyes.

“…Guess who I am?” Yang Lei asked lowly, filled with emotion..

Fang Yu suddenly turned around.

Yang Lei let go, smiling at him. He smiled very happily and brightly.

“I’m fine! See how much you were scared.”

Yang Lei showed Fang Yu his arm.

“Just scraped a bit of skin here! What kind of person am I? Can I get hit? This blood is all chicken blood. Isn’t there a market? … You ran too quickly. I was calling you downstairs, but I couldn’t catch up to you.”

Yang Lei was filled with emotion, and he spoke without stopping.

Fang Yu didn’t say a single word. He stared straight at Yang Lei as if they had never met.

“I’m really fine! Fang Yu…”

Yang Lei hugged Fang Yu’s shoulder. His heart was overflowing with emotion and satisfaction.

“I really… Ow!”

Yang Lei suddenly screamed. He was punched hard in the shoulder. This punch was genuine, without the slightest mercy. Fang Yu’s fist smashed into Yang Lei’s shoulder.

“You fucking…!” Fang Yu said.

Fang Yu stayed at the hospital with Yang Lei until all the disinfection and bandaging were done. He then rode the bicycle and carried Yang Lei back.

Yang Lei sat on the back seat of the bicycle, one hand around Fang Yu’s waist, hugging him very tightly.

The person whose bicycle Fang Yu had stolen was still gloomily wandering nearby. When he saw Fang Yu, he rushed up and was about to scold him. Fang Yu returned the bike to him, and gave him a proper explanation. The guy really was pretty good. Quite generous. “So it was like this! It’s good that you’re fine! Young man, you’re really lucky!”

When he entered Fang Yu’s house, Yang Lei was already starving. Fang Yu pointed at him, “Sit there and don’t move!” then walked into the kitchen.

“I’ll help you!” Yang Lei still wanted to show off.

“Sit!” With Fang Yu’s one word, Yang Lei behaved.

He obediently sat at the dining table, watching Fang Yu carry out one dish after another as if he were doing tricks.

Kung Pao chicken, ants climbing a tree, sweet and sour ribs, tomato and egg soup, and salted duck, which Yang Lei loved eating the most. They were all dishes that Yang Lei liked eating. Yang Lei almost drooled.

“You made all of these?”

“Do I have the skill? I bought them!”

Fang Yu originally wanted to pour wine, but he put it back.

“Don’t drink wine. Eat more vegetables to make up for the blood loss!”

“That blood wasn’t mine,” Yang Lei explained again.

“You still have to make up for it!”

Once Fang Yu stared at him, Yang Lei was well-behaved. Even he was puzzled. He felt guilty, like he had done something wrong today.

Fang Yu also ate, but he didn’t eat much. He just watched Yang Lei eating large pieces of meat, sometimes giving him more food.

“Enough. Enough.” Yang Lei’s bowl was piled into a mountain.

“Why don’t you eat?”

Yang Lei saw that Fang Yu didn’t eat much.

“I don’t have much of an appetite. You eat more,” Fang Yu said. He put down his chopsticks, silently watching Yang Lei eat.

Yang Lei ate for a while. Fang Yu sat to the side, silently smoking.

Yang Lei became aware of Fang Yu’s mood.

“What happened?”

“Nothing.” Fang Yu smiled at him. “Eat.”

Yang Lei felt that today was frightening enough, but this car accident also brought him a blessing through disaster. He saw Fang Yu’s genuine reactions. When Yang Lei recalled Fang Yu’s reactions when he knew that something had happened to him, his heart swelled fully. In the hospital, he really wanted to grasp Fang Yu and hug him. He wanted to say many gentle words to tell him, and that he was fine. When he saw Fang Yu’s pale face, his heart ached more than if he had actually been run over. Yang Lei knew that he had completely fallen. He really couldn’t leave Fang Yu.

“You’re still thinking about this afternoon? It’s really nothing.”

Yang Lei felt that Fang Yu was still hung up on this.

“It’s just the motorcycle that was destroyed. The driver must definitely pay for a new one. He can’t run away.”

“Is this about the fucking bike?” Fang Yu suddenly said.

Yang Lei was stunned for a moment.

“Next time, don’t ride that recklessly. This time, you were lucky. What about next time?” Fang Yu kept smoking.

Yang Lei felt that these words really weren’t words that people like Fang Yu who licked blood off of blades would say.

“Are gangsters still afraid of death?”

Yang Lei’s fierceness had returned.

“When a boss is overthrown, there’s even more blood than this. What gates of hell haven’t I broken into? Am I scared?”

“Bullshit!”

Fang Yu was suddenly angry and threw his cigarette butt.
