Extra 2: Leaving Dreams

Luoluo Street is always bustling during the holidays. I forgot which year it was, but Qiao Sen was leading people on patrol on the streets. It was an ordinary job, but things became tense after he met Luo Yan. This was the second year of their breakup. Qiao Sen could not win an argument with Luo Yan, so the news that the guest of honor of the Radical Party was humiliated on Luoluo Street, where thousands of people were watching, spread throughout the city. When the two separated, they looked like they wanted to skin each other alive, and it was as ugly as it could be.

But privately...

"What are you doing on Rollo Street?"

The two met at the riverside. Qiao Sen had just gotten rid of his subordinate and he disliked the other party for causing trouble for him.

Luo Yan put one hand in his pocket and smiled evilly, "Your name isn't written there, so why can't I go?"

Qiao Sen rolled his eyes at him. He had been like this ever since they met, a master of sophistry.

Qiao Sen did not argue with him and sat on the ground.

"Damn, why is it all wet!" Luo Yan's butt was already half wet before he sat down. Seeing him smile, she knew he did it on purpose, so she touched his face with her wet hands.

"Are you sick? Are you dirty?"

Qiao Sen has a bit of a mysophobia. Although it has been worn away after coming here, his mysophobia has shifted to other people. Whenever Luo Yan touches him, he assumes that it is unclean.

Luo Yan pulled him up, and Qiao Sen asked, "Where are you going?"

The cottage by the water is a very simple wooden house. It was previously inhabited by an old man. After the old man passed away, it was occupied by the bastard Luo Yan.

"I have clothes here." After saying that, he threw a set of clothes over.

Qiao Sen carefully pinched them with his index finger and thumb. Luo Yan tsked, "No, what are you disgusted with?"

Qiao Sen refused to change and turned away when he saw Luo Yan was about to take off his clothes.

He and Luo Yan really didn't get along from the beginning to the end.

When Qiao Qingfeng recruited him as an informant, the person who objected most strongly was not his superior, but Luo Yan, the active informant. He still remembered how Luo Yan belittled him on the rooftop, and how he had been trying to use his status as a police academy graduate to pressure him.

No one is optimistic about him, but he himself is not trying hard enough.

He couldn't keep up with the training in the first two months. Luo Yan laughed at him on the training ground, saying that he was so weak that he would have difficulty killing a chicken in the future.

Qiao Sen was annoyed with him the most at that time, and they started to make faces at each other even though they were ten meters apart.

As fate would have it, three months later they were told that they would be partners and had to look after each other when they entered Myanmar.

Care? Care? What the hell? They were lucky enough not to see each other as retribution.

"Do you want to change?" Luo Yan changed his clothes and saw that he hadn't moved. He walked straight up to him and raised his hand to lift his clothes. Qiao Sen was shocked, "Are you fucking sick?"

The more he resisted Luo Yan, the more amusing it became. Qiao Sen was someone he couldn't stand. To put it bluntly, he had a funereal look and seemed to have a grudge against everyone. He disliked him the moment he saw him. But perhaps it was muscle memory; their fragmented training had actually developed a tacit understanding, so he was barely qualified to be his partner.

Qiao Sen was pushed onto the bed. Qiao Sen was not as tall or strong as him, and his clothes were lifted up to his waist. Qiao Sen actually raised his leg and kicked him, "Psycho!"

Luo Yan looked at the spot where he had been kicked, licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and grabbed his ankle and pulled him over. Such an offensive behavior on two men seemed very strange. Qiao Sen's eyebrows were furious, and he scolded mercilessly: "I don't have that kind of habit!"

Luo Yan stared at his face without getting angry, which made Qiao Sen feel incredible. After all, in his impression, this man had always been flammable and explosive. However, if he had the ability to read minds, he would definitely be frightened by the thoughts in Luo Yan's mind.

He just said that Qiao Sen had a funeral look on his face because his eyebrows were drooping, making him look resentful. But his frown just now had a unique flavor. To use a not-so-appropriate word to describe it, it might be "beautiful anger."

"Don't worry, I don't have any either." Luo Yan let go of him and threw his pants over. "Change yourself."

Qiao Sen took his time changing his clothes, and the two of them had a rare moment of calmness in discussing serious matters. This place was like a simple office, where any situations would be summarized.

Luo Yan glanced at him analyzing the pros and cons on paper, and gradually understood how accurate Qiao Qingfeng's judgment of people was. Although Qiao Sen lacked the strength to fight, he was careful and well-planned. It had to be said that he was a very smart person. He always expressed his views slowly and rarely got impatient or impulsive.

"Are you listening?" Qiao Sen talked for a long time but there was no response. He was absolutely sure that this person had wandered off to his grandmother's house.

Luo Yan suddenly pinched his earlobe, and the originally subtle crimson color seemed to be about to bleed.

Qiao Sen stepped back a long way, feeling embarrassed and angry. "Are you sick?"

Luo Yan lowered his head and rubbed his fingers together. He didn't know what happened tonight. He quickly attributed these abnormal behaviors to the fact that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and he hadn't teased Qiao Sen for a long time. After a while, he returned to his frivolous look.

"I'm sick, do you have medicine?"

Seeing that he was still asking for a beating, Qiao Sen felt a little relieved and warned him, "I'm telling you, behave yourself. I know you can't stand me, and I can't stand you either. After this operation, we'll go our separate ways, and it's best if we never have anything to do with each other again!"

Luo Yan didn't refute, but grabbed his arm and pulled him back, "Okay, okay, we'll never have anything to do with each other again."

They left the cabin at five in the morning. Luo Yan stood by the window, watching Qiao Sen leave the water without looking back, walking farther and farther away.

Since then, Luo Yan often caused trouble for him. It was not a real trouble, but a target because they were openly enemies. Everyone knew that Luo Yan and Qiao Sen had turned against each other, and they wanted to kill each other as soon as possible.

"I said, could you please stop bothering me?"

One day, Qiao Sen was ordered to go on a mission. He was supposed to catch someone in a KTV, but he didn't catch anyone and ran into Luo Yan instead. In the box, Luo Yan was hugging several female companions, looking like a playboy.

The moment he pushed the door open and saw him, Qiao Sen turned and left. He was only there to arrest someone, not to offend the Democratic Party.

Before he even stepped out of the box, Luo Yan blocked his way. All the female companions had gone out, leaving only them. Qiao Sen had been worried all day, but now that they were the only ones left, he felt relieved.

"Looking for trouble? I'm not looking for trouble." Luo Yan pulled him to sit down and roughly rolled up his sleeves. "The wound will become inflamed if it's not treated."

Qiao Sen had just returned from outside. They treated him as a useful tool and would not stop until he fell.

The blood stains were actually not visible on the dark clothes, but Luo Yan could smell it. He helped him clean the wound, apply medicine, and bandage it, which took only about ten minutes, but he actually fell asleep in such an environment.

The KTV box was filled with various smells: cigarettes, alcohol, fishy smells, medicines, and all kinds of smells mixed together, but he caught the unique smell of sunshine in it. This smell occupied his nasal cavity and made him fall asleep peacefully after running around for several days.

Qiao Sen vaguely felt someone approaching him. He struggled to wake up, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of light-colored eyes. They were too close, and time stopped for a few seconds, and neither of them reacted.

"Ahem..." Luo Yan stepped back first, "It's done."

Qiao Sen raised his hand and saw that it was tied in a bow.

Qiao Sen didn't even say thank you and left the box directly. Mainly because he was scared and held his breath. His heart was beating wildly after he left the room.

He didn't take the accident seriously, but Luo Yan became more and more abnormal. Before each mission, he would find various reasons to ask Qiao Sen to meet him in the cabin. They had fewer sarcastic remarks to each other, but more words of encouragement to each other. Later, Luo Yan didn't know what happened. He noticed several times that Qiao Sen's mood was not right, the way he looked at him was not right, and what he said was even more nonsensical.

"What's wrong with you?" He sent Qiao Sen out and asked when he reached the door.

Luo Yan had no idea what he was thinking, his long bangs covering his eyes. Qiao Sen pinched his chin to make him look up. The two looked at each other for a long time, then Luo Yan suddenly hugged him in his arms and sucked hard on his neck a few times. Qiao Sen felt awkward, but took his feelings into consideration and didn't push him away.

When he spoke again, I thought he was finally going to tell the truth, but he ended up saying the same thing.

"You smell so good."

Qiao Sen pushed him away violently, his face full of disgust, and clenched his fist to hook him in the abdomen, but his reaction was no faster than Luo Yan. Luo Yan grabbed his wrist and watched him get angry with interest.

"You're sick!" Qiao Sen pushed him away and slammed the door.

The next time they met was on the way to send Luo Yan back to the cabin. This guy was drunk, and Qiao Sen picked him up halfway. He kept talking nonsense along the way, and it was hard to hear what he said. He attacked others after closing the door. Qiao Sen was held and couldn't move. The heat on his lips burned all the way to his heart, and he was not relieved until they both tasted blood between their teeth.

Luo Yan was slapped.

"Mad dog!"

The instigator was not angry at all. He held his neck and bit it. Qiao Sen was in so much pain that he wanted to hammer him to death immediately. He didn't know why this guy suddenly kissed him. His mind was in a mess and he could only convince himself that he was drunk.

After a moment, he heard Luo Yan say, "I'm a mad dog, do you want to tie me up?"

Sadly, this question will never be answered.

Qiao Sen probably knew something, but before he could think about it carefully, something unexpected happened and Luo Yan's identity was discovered!

It was the eve of the Luzhai operation. After being tortured, Luo Yan was injected with a large amount of copper and could only wait for death. When Qiao Sen arrived, he was dying and asked Qiao Sen to shoot him. His death would help Qiao Sen and help him continue to stay in Yaojin.

The dawn they all looked forward to was ruined because of Li Yuwen. Before his death, Luo Yan already knew that the Luzhai operation would not succeed. Qiao Sen also tried to intervene to save the situation, but it was too late.

He did not refute Shen Shiyu's words, because he was right, he was the one who killed Luo Yan, but he was not the only one who killed Luo Yan.

When everything was settled, Qiao Sen changed back to his former name and went to the Martyrs' Cemetery.

He did not follow Chen An's advice to do a paternity test. All these became meaningless after the person died. It was more difficult for him to face Luo Yan than Qiao Qingfeng. Luo Yan's parents were still sad for his sacrifice. He wanted to do something for Luo Yan. He finally figured out the question that had been unanswered for seven or eight years.

In front of the tombstone, Qiao Sen complained, "Why did you die so early?"
