Shura Field 1

During the process, the repairman inadvertently praised the phone case, and Kong Lingyu talked to the repairman about the origin of the phone case, saying that it was made by his best friend.

Fang Huai couldn't argue with Kong Lingyu because of his inexplicable sarcasm, so he stood aside and waited patiently for his phone to be repaired.

This guy Kong Lingyu hasn't changed at all, Fang Huai thought to himself.

As soon as the cell phone was repaired, his best friend called. Fang Huai gave Fang Henian a look and walked out of the store without looking back.

Kong Lingyu stood where he was and let out a light sigh.

When he got to the door, Fang Huai answered the phone and called softly, "Li Xuan."

"Yeah." Li Xuan had been busy all morning and only now found time to contact Fang Huai.

He knew Fang Huai's family situation very well. Before college, his grandfather lived in the same community as the Fang family, and he would come back to accompany the old man during every long holiday.

It was also during the summer vacation of my third year in junior high school that I met six-year-old Fang Huai.

The child was very well behaved, following the tall stroller without moving an inch, timidly watching his peers playing around. The old man told the new kid to be brave and go play with the other children.

The child just shook his head and stood stubbornly beside the stroller, the heavy backpack on his back made his thin body hunched. Li Xuan graduated from junior high school and came out to play with some cousins.

He didn't like noisy children, so he sat by the flower bed and read a book, but his attention was attracted by this unfamiliar child.

For some unknown reason, he took out the lollipop he had bought before and handed it to the child. At first, the child didn't dare to take it, but gradually they became familiar with each other, and Xiao Fang Huai also accepted the candy.

Fang Huai was an introvert and shy person. He would always follow his grandmother when he went out. When he saw Li Xuan, he ran up to him, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and called out crisply, "Brother Li Xuan."

Li Xuan was very happy to take this good child home and talked about little Fang Huai with his grandfather. His grandfather just briefly told him about Fang Huai's family situation and asked him to pay more attention to the child.

At first, he really didn't believe his grandfather's words, but then a series of things happened that completely refreshed his view of the couple next door. Especially when Fang Huai was injured in the explosion, his wound became infected, and he fainted beside the flower bed with nowhere to go, he finally understood what his grandfather said: "Some children come at the wrong time."

He was worried that Fang Huai would be bullied when he got home. He had just made several calls but they were all temporarily unreachable. He also couldn't get through to the text message. He thought something had happened and complained in his tone: "Why didn't you answer the phone just now?"

Fang Huai knew that Li Xuan was worried about him, so he explained patiently. Li Xuan was very quiet, which made him wonder if Li Xuan was listening.

"If you encounter this situation again, contact me immediately." Li Xuan pondered for a moment, not allowing any further comment: "I hope you can do this."

"Xiao Huai, I hope that no matter what happens, the first person you want to contact is me, just like before, and rely on me unconditionally." Li Xuan paused and continued, "I hope this won't happen again."

A pair of big hands covered Fang Huai's ears. Kong Lingyu's tall shadow cast a shadow over Fang Huai. He sneered and took the phone from Fang Huai.

He even gestured to Fang Huai, "Shh."

Fang Huai shook his head, "Give it to me, Kong Lingyu."

Li Xuan'an didn't hear Fang Huai's agreement, so she frowned and asked, "Fang Huai."

Kong Lingyu held Fang Huai's hand, raised his phone, and said with repressed anger, "What a great prestige, Professor Li."

"Who am I?" Kong Lingyu looked down at the anxious Fang Huai and curled his lips. "I'm Maimai's good friend. You're also his 'friend', right? So, I have to say, you're an incompetent friend."

"At least—I wouldn't speak to him in that tone. If someone didn't know, they'd think you were his superior."

"Kong Lingyu, give me your phone." Fang Huai tried to grab the phone in a panic. Kong Lingyu lowered his head and they looked at each other. Fang Huai saw the anger in the other's eyes and was stunned.

"Maimai, this isn't how friends should get along with each other," Kong Lingyu said seriously.

"Maimai?" Li Xuan chewed on these two words in confusion. The Maimai the man was referring to was Fang Huai, but Fang Huai had never mentioned this name to him.

Displeasure welled up in his heart, and he said coldly: "Return the phone to its owner."

"There's no need for outsiders to interfere in our affairs."

Kong Lingyu said coldly, "Then we'll contact each other again after you learn to speak properly." He hung up the phone directly, loosened his grip on Fang Huai's hand, and said indifferently, "Sorry, I took the initiative to hang up the phone for you."

Fang Huai opened his mouth, sighed, and took the phone. He decided to contact Li Xuan later that evening. As for Kong Lingyu...

He knew that Kong Lingyu was protecting him, but it was not appropriate for Kong Lingyu to interfere in the affairs between two people. Fang Huai could only suppress his offended anger and turn away.

Kong Lingyu followed the thin figure, his hands in his pockets, not saying a word. The air pressure around the two of them was very low. Fang Henian, who had missed everything, shrank his neck and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you have a fight?"

Fang Huai shook his head, and Kong Lingyu's expression grew even darker.

Kong Lingyu was angry. He was angry at the man's bossy attitude and the tone he used to speak to Fang Huai. He was also angry at Fang Huai for being so obedient. If he hadn't snatched the phone away, Fang Huai would definitely have agreed.

In the end, he was so angry that he was not more effective and came to him now. He was also angry that he had made Fang Huai angry again.

He had no position and no qualifications to interfere in Fang Huai's affairs. The word "friend" was so fragile that it would be blown away by the wind and might be forgotten the next day. Kong Lingyu's heart ached when he thought of this.

A dark thought rang in my mind: lock him up, keep him, and let Mai Mai only see him and remember him forever.

Fang Huai and Fang Henian were walking in front. Seeing that Kong Lingyu had not caught up with them, the tall figure stood there, and his expression could not be seen clearly. Fang Huai sighed.

He sighed more than usual these few days after meeting Kong Lingyu. He shouted in Kong Lingyu's direction, "Aren't you leaving?"

Fang Huai's call brought Kong Lingyu back to reality, and the evil thought was suppressed. He quickly walked to Fang Huai's side, looked at Fang Huai's fair face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Fang Henian knew that they had something to talk about, so he tactfully went to drive.

"I was wrong." Kong Lingyu bowed his head and apologized. His mistake was to make Fang Huai angry, not to apologize to that arrogant man.

Fang Huai always preferred soft tactics to hard ones, and was most afraid of encountering someone like Kong Lingyu. However, he had no other options, so he softened his attitude. "You guessed it, right? Or maybe you already knew it."

"His name is Li Xuan. He is my lover, not just a simple friend." Fang Huai made the relationship clear and said firmly.

Fang Huai knew that Kong Lingyu meant well, but love is ultimately a matter between two people, and even the best of friends wouldn't be able to interfere.

He did not make his relationship public because of concerns. Fang Huai admitted that he had his own selfish motives.

Making it public means that his name and Li Xuan's name will be forever tied together, and Li Xuan's name will always be followed by Fang Huai. The gap between them is too big.

It also means they might start a family, but he's still unclear what "family" really means. Is it responsibility or love? If he has a family, will he be a competent family member?

Fang Huai didn’t know, not yet.

"You have always been my friend, but please don't worry about this matter anymore." Fang Huai said, waiting for Kong Lingyu to agree under his gaze.

Kong Lingyu put away the smile on his face, and slowly tightened his hands at his side, feeling sour, jealous, and distressed. When the concept of home was mentioned, Fang Huai's expression was confused, which made him feel distressed.

He nodded with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

He walked side by side with Fang Huai, deliberately lagging behind him for a few steps. He held out his hand, his palms covered in bloody scars. "Friends?"

Kong Lingyu murmured: "Maimai, I'm very greedy, my friend, it's not enough."

Thinking of that arrogant man, Kong Lingyu smiled. He said disdainfully, "I couldn't even give him a sense of security for so many years. What a useless guy."
