A Real Man Isn’t Afraid of a Little Demon

After the bags came out from the mall, Yu Chu stopped at the door of a small shop.

It was a tattoo shop. Someone had just done a tattoo and had a tiger head tattooed on his arm.

Xie Xingmu pulled Yu Chu twice without pulling anyone, so he asked, "Why, do you want to get a tattoo?"

Yu Chu squinted at him: "What do you think of that man's tiger head? I also want to get a tattoo."

Xie Xingmu looked at his white face, as if he was choked for a while, and it was rare that he did not accept it 100% obediently, so he only said: "Take this matter, think about it for a few more days, so as not to regret."

"I won't regret it." Yu Chu pulled people into the store with all his strength.

The tattoo artist greeted him and asked if Yu Chu wanted to get a tattoo, then asked him if he had a favorite pattern. After thinking about it for a while, Yu Chu suddenly didn't want the tiger's head anymore, and hesitantly said, "I don't have any ideas, why don't you just figure it out."

Xie Xingmu called the tattoo artist aside and whispered, the tattoo artist came back and asked Yu Chu: "If you are not sure, how about I tattoo you in a less obvious location? Like the back."

"Okay."

"Or a tiger?"

"Well, it's a tiger."

After some confirmation, the tattoo artist finally started work, Xie Xingmu was sitting next to Yu Chu, staring sharply at the tattoo artist's every move, making him sweat profusely, and his assistant was sweating from time to time. .

"Does it hurt?" Xie Xingmu leaned down and asked Yu Chu.

"It doesn't hurt, just a little numbness." Yu Chu raised her face and asked Xie Xingmu, "Are you going to get a tattoo too? It's the same as mine."

Xie Xingmu said, "My profession does not allow me to have tattoos." After speaking, he whispered in his ear, "It's okay, I have a little tiger tattooed on my heart."

After the end, it was already dark outside, and Yu Chu was helped by Xie Xingmu to sit up, showing a fair and thin waist.

"Does it look good?" Yu Chu couldn't see the lower back, so he could only ask Xie Xingmu.

Xie Xingmu stared at his tattoo, his breathing became a little heavy, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's very beautiful."

Yu Chu hurriedly wanted to see the tattoo, the tattoo artist assistant went to get the mirror, but Xie Xingmu stopped at this moment: "Duoduo has called several times, let's pick up Duoduo first and go home Look again."

Only then did Yu Chu realize that it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and he didn't even bother to look at his tattoos, so he stood up and urged, "Let's go, go and pick up Duoduo."

I picked up Chi Duoduo from Chen Lao, and the three found a restaurant to eat. Chi Duoduo had already eaten, so they sat beside them drinking juice.

When she came home after dinner, Xie Xingmu found a set of his own pajamas and handed it to Yu Chu: "Go and change your clothes, you are wearing mine just right, the pants are loose and won't hold your waist."

Yu Chu changed into pajamas, rolled up the fat cuffs and trousers, and went into the bathroom to look in the mirror.

Ten seconds later, a cold voice came from the bathroom: "Xie Xingmu, come in!"

Xie Xingmu stood at the door of the bathroom, Yu Chu looked at his back in the mirror: "Is it the kind of tiger you asked the tattoo artist to tattoo me?"

Xie Xingmu glanced at him: "Yes, this kind of tiger looks fierce and beautiful. I think it is much better than the tiger head at the beginning."

"You think I'm blind? Can't tell if this is a tiger or a cat?" Yu Chu's voice was very soft and sounded dangerous, Xie Xingmu wisely shut his mouth.

In the mirror, there was a lively kitten on the white and firm skin on the lower back. She looks very cute and cute, and her round eyes are full of cunning. Especially the cat's tail, which fell down, following the undulating lines, extending into a ravine.

Actually, Yu Chu knew that this tattoo was beautiful, and it was set off by the surrounding skin. It could be described as stunning, but he would never admit that he liked it, so that Xie Xingmu could easily fool him.

"Say, did you ask the tattoo artist to tattoo me with this tiger?"

He squinted at Xie Xingmu, pressed the two cat ears with his backhand, and his fingers slowly descended along the tail...

Xie Xingmu's eyes followed his fingers: "Maybe it is."

Yu Chu's fingers twirled gently on the tail: "Do you like this kind of tiger?"

"I like it, I like it very much." Xie Xingmu murmured.

Yu Chu raised his hand and hooked at him, the oversized pajamas collapsed because of this action, revealing half of his shoulders: "Come in."

Xie Xingmu's eyes darkened, he stepped into the bathroom and clicked the lock. As a result, as soon as Yu Chu was put into his arms, a hand was pressed against his chest.

He was holding a bottle of medicine.

"Then give me medicine, if you like it, you can take a second look." Yu Chu whispered in his ear.

Xie Xingmu:…

Although it was medicine, it lasted for three hours until Chi Duoduo rubbed his eyes and knocked on the bedroom door: "Uncle, Xiao Chu, are you asleep? I haven't slept yet. Yes."

Xie Xingmu was merciful to let Yu Chu go, carried him back to the bed, and washed Du Duo himself.

The place where Yu Chu studied baking was far from home, Xie Xingmu was sometimes too busy to pick him up, so he bought him a new car. Because I already have an off-road big G at home, I bought a sedan this time and chose a Volvo with good safety and space.

Yu Chu accepted the new car without hesitation.

In his cognition, what other people donate will never be free, and he has to pay the same level of return. So in the past, even if he received a piece of bread from someone else, he had to think carefully and accept it only after he was sure he had the ability to return it. If the price is more than he can pay, he will categorically refuse.

But Xie Xingmu was different, Yu Chu didn't have to think about the issue of repayment with him. He thought that whatever he had, whether it was now or in the future, as long as Xie Xingmu wanted it, he could take it all. On the contrary, Xie Xingmu gave it, and he could accept it calmly.

Xie Xingmu wouldn't care about these, he just thought Yu Chu was his wife.

Do you still care about money for your wife? Joke, all the net worth is to be turned over to the wife.

Yu Chu was driving his Volvo home one day, and when he entered the door, he rushed forward. He picked up Chi Duoduo and looked at the kitchen, where Xie Xingmu was already cooking dinner.

"Are you back?" Xie Xingmu heard the news and turned his head: "I'm quite busy today, I wanted to pick you up after picking up a lot, but to make your favorite tofu fish, I went to the vegetable market ."

Yu Chu put down Chi Duoduo and walked to the kitchen, put his arms around Xie Xingmu's waist, put his face on his back and rolled left and right, and said vaguely: "It's not allowed next time, even I don’t know the priority of anything.”

Xie Xingmu laughed, his entire chest vibrated: "Yes, picking you up is the most important thing, no matter what you do, you have to go to the back."

Yu Chu's hand dishonestly touched the firm chest muscles, and was grabbed by Xie Xingmu: "Don't make trouble, do you still want to eat?"

"I want to eat you." Yu Chu blew on the side of his neck, watching with satisfaction a small pimple floating behind his ears.

Xie Xingmu's hand holding the spatula was getting tighter and tighter, looked at Duoduo who was sitting in front of the TV, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I know I can't move you at this time, so I try to push it hard and wait. Come on, I want you to return it with interest at night."

Yu Chu rubbed his chest again before letting go, smiled and went to watch TV with Chi Duoduo.

Xie Xingmu suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Xingyuan Island has been cleaned up, I brought back some of your previous items and put them in the guest room, you go Look at what you need and what you don't."

"There should be nothing." Yu Chu muttered, but went to the guest room anyway.

Two large cardboard boxes were placed in the middle of the floor of the guest room. Yu Chu went over and turned it over. It was nothing more than a few handicrafts and a pile of books made by the original body.

The training class will be off tomorrow, and he thinks that he will just come back tomorrow to clean up this pile of things.

After dinner, Yu Chu offered to wash the dishes and let Xie Xingmu go to rest.

Xie Xingmu was standing beside the cooking table, saying that he was resting, but in fact he was more tired than the person washing dishes.

"The water on the edge of the pool should be wiped clean, you can see that there are still water stains there...the kitchen knife can't be washed, it will leave a smell...the cutting board is wrong, the left side is the raw food cutting board , on the right is the deli board, don't misplace it..."

Yu Chu tried to throw a rag on his face several times, or blocked his mouth with a steel ball, but he held back.

When he finished washing the dishes, Xie Xingmu kissed him on the lips in praise: "Baby is amazing, the dishes are really clean."

The anger that Yu Chu had produced disappeared in an instant.

While he was washing his hands, Xie Xingmu hesitated for a while, then suddenly said, "The court case of Yu Shiqing will start tomorrow."

Yu Chu's movements did not stop at all, and replied lightly: "Oh."

After Xie Xingmu caught a glimpse of his expression, his tone became relaxed and he was no longer so cautious: "Yu Shiqing has not spoken during these days in the detention center, I wonder if there will be any in court tomorrow. The breakthrough. The court was worried that something would happen on the way from the detention center, so it asked our public security bureau to borrow someone, so I will be among the escorts tomorrow."

After a moment of silence, Yu Chu said, "Then you have to be careful."

"I understand."

It rained heavily in the middle of the night, and the sound of rain woke up Chi Duoduo, rubbed his eyes and knocked on the door of the master bedroom, wanting to sleep with his uncle Xiao Chu.

Xie Xingmu put him beside him, and he crawled over to lie between them. Yu Chu pinched Chi Duoduo's fingers, listening to the sound of the rainstorm outside, and somehow couldn't sleep.

He realized that he had been sleeping in Xie Xingmu's arms all these days.

A large warm hand fell on his head, Xie Xingmu said softly, "When he falls asleep—"

"Why? Do you want to wait until I fall asleep before taking me away?" Chi Duoduo, who seemed to have fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and complained angrily.

Yu Chu hugged him in a funny way: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, I won't take you away."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Xie Xingmu left very early the next day, and Yu Chu would send Chi Duoduo to school, because the training class was not open today, he would send Chi Duoduo to the classroom and drive home.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was another car accident ahead, and Yu Chu's car was blocked on the road. Holding the steering wheel, he frowned and looked ahead, the wipers scraped the water from the window back and forth, and he felt a little more irritable for no reason.

Then simply turn on the car radio and listen to local traffic conditions.

"...The reporter is now on Hongfeng Road. The traffic here has been blocked into a long queue. It is estimated that it is about two kilometers..."

“…The situation in Lok Fu Town is not optimistic either. The rainstorm caused the road to collapse…”

Fortunately, it was just a small accident ahead, which was quickly resolved, and Yu Chu drove home.

After watching TV for a while, I remembered that there were two large cardboard boxes in the guest room, so I went to clean up those things.

The bookcase in the guest room happened to be empty, so he simply took out the rough small ceramic crafts and books and placed them in the bookcase.

After putting away several books, he saw a familiar notebook cover, which was the original diary. After seeing it once that time, he put it back on the bookcase and never moved it again. He never thought that it would be brought back together this time.

Yu Chu picked up the diary, remembered the original body and Yu Shiqing, couldn't tell how he felt, so he casually opened a page.

Today is my father's birthday. There are many people on the island. I thought I was not allowed to go out in the room like before, but my father took my brother and I and stood at the gate together. I'm sorry mom, but I was still a little happy, so I made it by hand and gave it to him as a birthday present. I only allow me to like him for this day.

This should be the last record of the original, because the back of the notebook is all blank.

Yu Chu sat on the ground, reached out and took off the necklace around his neck, looking at the cross pendant above with complicated eyes.

This is Yu Shiqing's birthday present, the wood carving he made by himself. It was made of two pieces of wood spliced ​​together. Although it was a little crooked, it looked very solid.

I'm sorry mom, but I'm still a little happy, so I made it by hand and gave it to him as a birthday present. I only allow me to like him for this day...

Yu Chu stared at the pendant and muttered the words in the diary.

Why did he say sorry to mom? Why did he say Mom was sorry for this little gift? And the behavior of not recording the diary later, does it mean that he is running away? Because his mother made him keep the habit of keeping a diary, and he never touched the diary again out of some kind of escapism?

A thought flashed through his mind, he instantly caught it, stood up suddenly, and left the guest room holding the necklace.

He found the toolbox in the storage room, used a screwdriver to align the gap where the cross was connected, and hit the end of the screwdriver with a hammer. As the tip of the knife was inserted, the gap of the cross widened a little, and finally broke into two halves.

A delicate copper-yellow key lies quietly in one half of it.

.

A lightning flashed outside the window, illuminating the room brightly, followed by a loud bang. Yu Chu walked around the room anxiously, calling Xie Xingmu's phone again and again, but he couldn't get through.

He knew that Yu Shiqing was about to go to court, and also knew the importance of this key, which would be an important physical evidence to open Yu Shiqing's mouth.

In addition to Xie Xingmu, he did not worry about handing it over to anyone.

Look at the time, it's nine o'clock in the morning, Xie Xingmu and the others are leaving from the detention center, and they probably haven't reached the court yet.

Yu Chu put the key in the wallet, thought about it and felt worried, took it out and put it in the close-fitting shirt pocket, then spliced ​​and restored the cross on the necklace, and put it on his neck again.

He grabbed the car key and went down to the garage, turned on the mobile phone navigation, drove his Volvo, and rushed into the heavy rain.

According to the navigation display, the route from the detention center to Haiyun City Court coincides with his, that is to say, if he drives faster, he may catch up with Xie Xingmu and arrive in time for the convoy Before the court, give him the keys.

There were no pedestrians and fewer vehicles on the road. Yu Chu drove a Volvo in the rain and quickly got onto the main road. After driving for half an hour, I slowly slowed down when I reached a bridge.

The vehicle on the bridge ahead is blocked again.

He tapped the steering wheel anxiously, stared at the motionless car in front, and pressed the Bluetooth phone to dial Xie Xingmu's number.

Still not working.

I want to come to their mission today, and everyone's phone has been taken away.

There was someone next to him holding a microphone, wearing a raincoat, facing the camera in front of him, precariously insisting on live broadcast, it should be a local news reporter.

Yu Chu pressed down the car window a crack, and the female reporter's voice was accompanied by raindrops and rolled into the car.

"...Everyone has seen it, the Hongfeng Bridge was blocked, and when the reporter came all the way, he saw a few cars from the detention center and the court were also stuck in it, I don't know if it would be It will affect their official business..."

Yu Chu heard this, opened the door, jumped out of the car, and ran along the sidewalk on the right side of the bridge.

The rain poured down his face, and soon drenched him, but fortunately, after only running a few hundred meters, he saw the **** vehicles in the convoy.

Knock knock knock.

He knocked anxiously on one of the windows.

The windows were rolled down, and a heavily armed bailiff asked cautiously, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

"Is Xie Xingmu here? I need to find him urgently." Yu Chu asked directly.

The bailiff replied vigilantly: "Not here."

After he finished speaking, he rolled the window up.

Yu Chu did not ask again, nor did he knock on the windows of other cars, because if Xie Xingmu was here, he would have realized something was wrong and would not have stayed in the car Don't make a sound.

He went back to his car, got into the car wet, and when the door was closed, the voice of the female reporter who was still broadcasting the live broadcast came into his ears again.

"Master, are you trying to detour?"

The driver replied: "Yeah, isn't the Hongfeng Bridge blocked? I'm in a hurry, so I want to take the old road."

"Is it a good way to go?"

"I don't know, I started to see a few court cars and went the same way. It should be fine."

Yu Chu looked out the car window and saw a narrow concrete road on the left, a car parked not far from the entrance, and the driver was being interviewed.

He immediately started the vehicle, turned off the bridge, and drove onto the concrete road.

The rainwater was blown away by the wipers and gurgled down both sides of the windshield. Yu Chu held the steering wheel firmly, feeling a sense of irritability and panic in her heart.

He couldn't say what was the reason for this panic, but it made him feel helpless, and his heart seemed to be hanging in the air.

"Five hundred meters ahead, turn right is Lijiawan Stone Bridge, the road is slippery in rainy days, please be careful." The soft female voice of the navigation sounded in the car.

Yu Chu held the steering wheel with his left hand and turned on Bluetooth with his right hand. He wanted to try to connect Xie Xingmu's mobile phone again, but just as he put his finger on it, there was an earth-shattering roar from the front. It was as if the mountain was cracking and the rocks were collapsing, the car trembled along with it, and the car windows hummed.

It wasn't until the car hit the edge of the road that he regained his senses and turned the steering wheel violently. Step on the accelerator again, and the Volvo drifts beautifully, the engine roars suddenly, and it rushes out towards the front.

The author has something to say:It will end tomorrow.
