Chapter 40: Gu Xingjue only wore a thin...

Gu Xingjue was only wearing a thin leather jacket, which was far from enough for the damp and cold Vancouver.

A cold wind blew in the lonely night, and Gu Xingjue's chest heaved violently. The cold air kept penetrating into his heart and lungs, blowing away his surging anger.

His eyes were filled with grievance. It was the first time Chen Song had seen him like this, and his heart felt like it was being sprinkled with sourness. Chen Song took a deep breath, then glanced at Lu Yuan gently and said, "I'll go home and apply some medicine on you. Let's go."

Lu Yuan mocked Gu Xingjue and snorted softly, then stepped onto Chen Song's back seat and leaned against him: "Okay, husband~"

Chen Song's hand trembled, and the electric scooter flew forward, frightening Lu Yuan and hugging him tightly. Not long after, they drove to the door of their home. Chen Song stopped the car and Lu Yuan got out.

Chen Song took the car keys and gave them to Lu Yuan to open the door.

Gu Xingjue followed and stood in front of Chen Song, muttering, "I don't believe you, you're lying to me."

Gu Xingjue pursed his lips and looked at Chen Song with resentment. Chen Song felt that he was like a furious wolfhound that dared not lose its temper and even wanted to be petted.

Chen Song stared at Gu Xingjue's hair for a while, then looked away. "Whether it's true or not, my affairs have nothing to do with you. Whether you believe it or not, it's your business and has nothing to do with me."

Gu Xingjue was most irritated by Chen Song's sharp tongue. He wished he could bite him to pieces and swallow him whole, so that he could live in peace. As he was about to do so, Lu Yuan pushed him away and handed the key to Chen Song.

Chen Song took the key, started the electric scooter and drove into the house.

"What are you doing! This is my husband, why are you, a mistress, coming here to destroy our relationship?" Lu Yuan said, putting his hands on his hips, and became more and more excited. "Didn't you hear what my husband said? It has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with you, do you know?"

"Besides, what's wrong with my husband liking me like this? What's wrong with me being able to satisfy him?" Lu Yuan glanced at Gu Xingjue up and down, his eyes lingering on Gu Xingjue's lower abdomen for a few seconds, and raised his eyes to provoke him, "You can't do it yourself, and you blame my husband. Get out, get out, quickly, and don't disturb our love night."

Gu Xingjue was so angry that his temples were throbbing, as if someone was hitting him on the head with a hammer. The anger immediately dissipated the chill in his body, and he took a step forward and punched the attacker.

Lu Yuan was not someone to be trifled with either, and the two of them immediately started wrestling with each other and fell to the ground.

"Fuck! Who the hell do you think you are? Do you even know who I am?" Gu Xingjue had the upper hand in both size and strength. He rode on Lu Yuan and threw hooks left and right at him. "Like you? Are you fucking worthy?"

Lu Yuan knew that he couldn't beat Gu Xingjue due to the huge power disparity, but he wasn't afraid at all. He repeatedly defended himself, spitting at Gu Xingjue and cursing, "I'm fucking worse than you! Are you angry? Are you angry? Who the hell do you think you are? I cheated on you, and I cheated on you! You're so fucking stupid that we made a fool of you! Hahaha! Idiot! You're a fucking idiot!"

Although Lu Yuan could not gain the upper hand physically, his verbal attacks were very powerful. A few consecutive words ignited Gu Xingjue's anger. His mind was in chaos and his body was in chaos. Lu Yuan seized the opportunity and punched Gu Xingjue in the face.

Lu Yuan was not a pushover either. He kicked Gu Xingjue in the waist and flipped over. The two of them reversed their positions. Lu Yuan attacked repeatedly and the two of them fought fiercely.

After hearing this, Chen Song immediately ran out of the house to stop the fight: "Enough! Stop it!"

Chen Song roared angrily, and the two men stopped. But they remained in a stalemate and neither of them let go.

Many neighbors were woken up by the noise and opened their windows to watch the show. A few elderly women even shouted a few words in their local dialect.

"A Song, bird algae sac? Sister Fa Donkey!"

"Objects, brain!"

Chen Song glared at them both: "Let go!"

The two continued to fight secretly, and Lu Yuan said, "Let go first!"

Gu Xingjue glared at him: "You first!"

"You first!"

"You first!"

Chen Song held one of them in each hand, and could feel the undercurrent of strength surging between them. He shouted angrily, "How old are you? It's shameful to do this in the middle of the night! If you don't let me go, I'll go in myself. You two can fight wherever you want, but not in front of my house!"

After Chen Song finished speaking, he let go, turned around and walked into the house, closing the door with a "bang".

The two men on the ground glared at each other for a moment, and finally Lu Yuan let go first: "Get out of here quickly, I still need to go back to the house to sleep."

After Lu Yuan let go, Gu Xingjue also let go. Lu Yuan glared at him, turned around, walked up the stairs, opened the door and went into the house. Gu Xingjue followed closely behind, raised his hand to block the door. Lu Yuan couldn't close the door and shouted angrily: "You still want to fight me, don't you?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? You broke up with him, and you know why. You're also familiar with Chen Song's character, right? Even if you don't, I do! I've known him since high school, and it's been six years now. Can you compare to him in six years? Once he makes a decision, no matter who it is or what happens, it's impossible to change it! He's just that stubborn, don't you understand?"

"I don't care why you two broke up," Lu Yuan paused and swallowed the blood in his mouth. "I can see that Chen Song hasn't had a good time outside these past three years. Don't even think about reconciling with you!"

Gu Xingjue slowly loosened his grip, and for a moment he was completely exhausted. Lu Yuan's words pierced his heart, draining away all the strength in Gu Xingjue's body layer by layer.

Gu Xingjue's injuries were not much better. There was blood at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and his cheeks were red and swollen. He opened his mouth and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He chewed the fishy blood in his mouth and swallowed it with bitterness.

Lu Yuan pushed him open, slammed the door shut, locked it neatly, and cursed under his breath, "What a fucking idiot."

Lu Yuan turned and walked into the inner room, which was the kitchen and connected to the stairs to the second floor.

Chen Song heard what Lu Yuan said outside just now. He felt sad and his eyes were red. He didn't look at Lu Yuan, but bent down to take out the medicine box from under the cabinet.

Lu Yuan looked at Chen Song for a while, then walked to the dining table and sat down. The two of them were silent for a while before Lu Yuan spoke: "Tell the truth. Is it because of him that you haven't been home for the New Year every year for the past three years?"

Chen Song unscrewed the lid a little slowly, opened it, poured iodine into the lid, and took out a cotton swab to dip it in the black and yellow liquid.

"A little bit." Chen Song answered truthfully. He held Lu Yuan's head and applied medicine to him. Looking at the wounds on Lu Yuan's face, Chen Song sighed, "We can just leave. Why bother fighting like this? It's not worth it."

"Hiss~" Lu Yuan gasped in pain, "Can you be gentler? You must be doing this on purpose!"

Chen Song glared at him angrily: "You know it hurts, but you still have to fight him."

Lu Yuan looked up at him and said confidently, "I knew at first glance that he wasn't a good guy. He was flashy and had the air of a gangster. How could a pure boy like you possibly beat him? I hit him. Why isn't it worth it? Why isn't it worth it for you to vent his anger? What did he say to you? He said that to you without even asking clearly. He has no trust at all."

"What's wrong with me helping you teach him a lesson? Why isn't it worth it? If you hadn't saved me, I would have been beaten to death by those bastards. You're telling me it's not worth it for a life-or-death friendship." Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly turned resentful, "Chen Song, don't you think of me as a brother?"

Chen Song sighed softly, "That's not what I meant. I just don't want you to get hurt. You've got bruises on your face, and it's almost Chinese New Year. How are you going to explain this to your mother when you get home tomorrow?"

Lu Yuan said: "What's the big deal? If my mother knew how much I protect you, she would give me a banner."

Chen Song looked at him without saying anything, applied medicine to his wound, and then put on gauze. After treating the wound, Chen Song took out the pigeon soup that Lu Yuan had mentioned, heated it up, and served it to the two of them.

Lu Yuan came out of the bathroom, gently touched the gauze on his face and said, "It will take a few days for me to recover."

Chen Songsheng poured a bowl of soup, put a few pieces of meat in it, and handed it to him: "If the situation is good, the swelling will go away in two or three days, and the broken skin will take about a week."

Lu Yuan sighed and drank the fragrant pigeon soup to warm his stomach: "Then I'll stay at your place and leave when I'm comfortable. Do you have any extra rooms? If not, I can sleep with you. I don't mind."

Chen Song nodded his head: "Now you know you're afraid to go home. Didn't you just say you would give you a banner?"

Lu Yuan pretended not to hear and ate the pigeon meat happily.

After the two finished eating, Chen Song changed Lu Yuan's bed sheets and quilt covers in the back room on the second floor.

Lu Yuan came out of the shower, grimacing in pain: "Fuck, this guy is a bull, he's so strong, he kicked me so hard that my waist is broken!"

Chen Song lifted up Lu Yuan's clothes, revealing a purple and red patch of blood on his waist. Chen Song frowned and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you were applying the medicine just now? Are there any other wounds on your body?"

"Here, this, this," Lu Yuan showed Chen Song the painful area. "I didn't feel it just now, but I felt it as soon as I took a shower."

Chen Song's tone became heavier: "Then are you still washing?"

Lu Yuan muttered, "Well, I've already washed it. Just... wash it off. Oh, it's okay, it will be fine in a couple of days, and you won't be able to see it in there. That idiot is not much better, I'm also killing him."

Lu Yuan said as he straightened his clothes and prepared to slip away and go back to his room to sleep. Chen Song paused, then grabbed Lu Yuan by the back of his collar and dragged him downstairs to reapply the medicine.

After all the trouble, Chen Song took a shower and went back to his room to rest. When he was pulling the curtains, his eyes inadvertently fell on the sparks in the open space.

Chen Song's house was the last in a row of buildings, surrounded by a long stone staircase. At the end of the long stone staircase stood a dim streetlight, and there stood a man, smoking a cigarette.

The spark quickly burned along the cigarette stick to the end, and the ashes were scattered in the mist by the wind. Gu Xingjue stood in the night wind with messy hair. Countless burnt cigarette sticks lay on the long stone steps.

The wind blew away the smoke, revealing a face with stern features. He stood with his back to the light, his eyes filled with an indistinct emotion. The smoke rose again, obscuring his creased brows.

His eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if looking in the direction of his home.

The clouds and mist in the wind were like memories of the past, covering Chen Song's heart with a layer of fog. He felt a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.

Which step did they take wrong? The two of them were so close to each other, but their hearts were thousands of miles apart. The barrier between them was like an unbreakable spring.

Chen Song looked at the tobacco sticks on the long stone steps. Suddenly, he no longer disliked the smell of cigarettes. He even wanted to smell it and wanted to know what that smell felt like in his mouth. It seemed that in this way he could understand Gu Xingjue's mood at the moment.

But Chen Song had already made the best decision. He couldn't go down and chase Gu Xingjue away. He couldn't have another conversation with Gu Xingjue. Otherwise, it would be like they were still connected.

Only determination, only determination can completely cut off all thoughts.

Not only Gu Xingjue's, but also his.

Chen Song closed the curtains and tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep...

The next morning, Chen Song got up early. When he opened the curtains and looked out, the figure at the end of the long stone steps was gone, and all the cigarette sticks on the long stone steps had disappeared as well, as if everything last night was a dream.

Chen Song cooked a bowl of dumplings for breakfast, then rode his bike to town to work part-time. As he passed the park, he saw the handsome car Lu Yuan had mentioned last night.

The low-key, luxurious and glossy car model is very conspicuous and out of place compared to the ordinary cars around it.

Chen Song vaguely felt that this was not the car of the family in the villa next door, but Gu Xingjue's car.

I'd passed by on my way to work a few days ago and never seen him before, until he suddenly appeared here last night. The car window had a privacy screen, so I couldn't see inside. But where did Gu Xingjue get the car in South City? He couldn't have just bought a new one the moment he landed.

Chen Song glanced away quickly. Of course, it was also possible that the owner of the villa had returned home. No matter whose car it was, it had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to live his life well.

Chen Song's electric scooter passed through the village and rode onto the road. When he stopped at the traffic light, he casually glanced at the gray car in the rearview mirror.

Chen Song glanced back. The car was approaching slowly. There were no cars ahead, and it was still a long way from the stop line. But it refused to move. It just stayed there, neither too far nor too close, causing the car behind it to honk in dissatisfaction.

Chen Song turned around and saw the green light coming on. He turned the accelerator and drove forward. He glanced at the rearview mirror and found that the gray car was following him closely.

Chen Song: “…”
