In this world, a secret is something that only one person knows. If more than two people know something, it is no longer a secret.
Tao Mu originally thought that living again was the biggest secret of his life. I can't say it out loud, and I will never tell anyone about it. I can only take it into the coffin. But I didn’t expect…
Tao Mu was flipping through the phone book when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. My throat feels hot and blocked, and I can hardly breathe. In his two lives, he thought he was very clear-headed, at least he knew what he wanted. But now I realize that he was living a very confused life.
Reluctant and indignant, unable to pick it up, yet unable to let it go. The negative emotions that had bound Tao Mu for a full ten years in his previous life came back to haunt him like a thorn in his flesh. Tao Mu covered his chest and frowned fiercely. Only then did he realize that he was not as relaxed and open-minded as he had thought. Even though everything has gone smoothly since his rebirth, Tao Mu still hasn't let go of the things he couldn't afford to lose and couldn't get from his previous life. It was just because no one knew about Tao Mu's experience before, Tao Mu had no way and couldn't find anyone to pursue it, so he had to force himself not to think about it and not to care about it.
Tao Mu originally thought that this would be the end of his life. All his experiences were just an unspeakable nightmare. However, Chen Chen's rebirth once again aroused all the resentment and resentment that Tao Mu had accumulated in his heart.
Li Xiaoheng, who was working, received a call from Tao Mu, and casually continued the conversation that had just been interrupted by the phone: "...Why, have you decided what to eat?"
However, dozens of seconds passed and Tao Mu remained silent. Only a slight gasp could be heard from the other end of the receiver. Li Xiaoheng immediately realized that something was wrong: "What's wrong? Who called just now? What happened?"
"...I want to see you." After a long silence, Tao Mu said with difficulty: "Xiao Heng, I want to tell you something. Do you have time to listen?"
Li Xiaoheng's heart sank. He didn't know what happened to Tao Mu in just one phone call. But his first reaction was to patiently calm Tao Mu down: "I have time."
Li Xiaoheng closed the half-read document, picked up his suit jacket and walked out of the office while talking to Tao Mu on the phone: "I'll come to you now. Are you tired from training recently? Why don't you take a shower and take a nap first, I'll be there soon. Wait for me."
"Yeah." Tao Mu hung up the phone. After standing there and thinking for a while, I went to the instructor to ask for leave. Li Xiaoheng will come over in the evening, so he will not stay at the training base at night. According to the procedure, Tao Mu must greet the base.
The instructor saw that Tao Mu's face was not very good, and thought that Tao Mu was tired from the recent training intensity. He also carefully asked Tao Mu whether he wanted to go to the medical room or take a leave to rest in the afternoon. Tao Mu smiled and said no. He had a nameless anger stuck in his heart that he couldn't vent. The physical combat training in the afternoon was just the right time for Tao Mu to vent. It would also help Tao Mu calm down and think carefully about how to deal with it next.
So when it came to the afternoon training, everyone found that Tao Mu was particularly serious. He originally came from a martial arts background, had some kung fu skills, and was in good physical condition. He is basically the only amateur in the entire crew who can keep up with the intensity of the training. However, after this afternoon, everyone was shocked to find that Tao Mu could be even stronger. That kind of A and ruthless tenacity is simply amazing.
In the words of the girls in the crew, he is so handsome that people can't close their legs.
The special forces training base is in the next city, and Li Xiaoheng arrived at around six o'clock in the evening. Tao Mu, who had already asked for leave in advance, was waiting for Li Xiaoheng at the gate of the base.
Li Xiaoheng was driving and saw his favorite person from a distance, leaning alone against the wall at the entrance of the base. With his head lowered and a cigarette in his mouth, the dim street lights shone down from above, casting a halo around Tao Mu's figure. Faintly, there was an aura of ruthlessness and loneliness emanating from him.
Li Xiaoheng's heart stagnated, and he drove the car in front of Tao Mu.
Tao Mu got into the car without saying a word, and leaned on the passenger seat: "I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat first."
Li Xiaoheng had a lot of questions in his mind, but he could see that Tao Mu was in a bad mood. So he didn't rush to ask questions, and took Tao Mu to a five-star hotel chain opened by Fengxing Group in the city. I didn't go to the restaurant for dinner, I just ordered room service to deliver dinner to my room.
After Tao Mu received Chen Chen's call, he had an urge to talk. He really wanted to find someone to talk about his two confusing lives, about his grudges that might not be worth mentioning in the eyes of others, and about how to face the reborn Chen Chen and his nominal parents and relatives in the future. However, Tao Mu didn't want to talk about these things with Liu Yaomengqi and Mr. Song. On the one hand, he was ashamed of his cruelty in his previous life and did not want his relatives to know his foolish and ungrateful side. Tao Mu was worried that once his father Yao, Xiao Qi and Old Man Song knew about these things, they would be dissatisfied and resentful towards him, and would subconsciously blame him or even stay away from him. So Tao Mu didn't dare to say it.
But Tao Mu has never been the kind of person who can only escape in his two lives. He didn't want his experience in his previous life to become a handle for others to blackmail him - although Chen Chen's phone call didn't reveal too many emotions, Tao Mu had been with Shen Chen in his previous life and he knew what kind of person Shen Chen was. He was a hunter who was cold and indifferent, but could see through people's hearts and was very good at finding other people's weaknesses and making plans. Therefore, Tao Mu never believed Chen Chen's empty words of "well water does not interfere with river water". Because Tao Mu knew that Chen Chen's understanding of "keep out of each other's way" meant that there was no conflict of interest with him at all. Once there is a conflict of interest, Chen Chen will never consider any family agreement. He will only seize Tao Mu's weakness without hesitation and hit him hard.
However, Tao Mu would never tolerate himself or his family becoming prey in Shen Chen's eyes for the sake of profit if he lived again. So he must strike first. Thinking of this, Tao Mu almost subconsciously called Li Xiaoheng. It's not just because Li Xiaoheng is his lover, but also because Li Xiaoheng is his most trusted partner. So when Tao Mu learned that Chen Chen was reborn and felt a sense of crisis because of this incident, the first thing he thought of was to find Li Xiaoheng to discuss what to do next.
But after Tao Mu woke up, or rather, after venting his sudden panic through an afternoon of training, Tao Mu began to hesitate again.
The same reasoning applies. Tao Mu is afraid that once Li Xiaoheng knows all the bad and stupid things he did in his previous life, he will know that he is not as smart and good as Li Xiaoheng thinks. Everything he has is the advantage of rebirth. In fact, he is just a mediocre person who is not even recognized by his own blood relatives...
Li Xiaoheng must be disappointed in him, right?
Just like the many colleagues in the entertainment industry he had met in his previous life, once their image collapsed, not only would they lose a lot of fans, but they would also be retaliated against by their fans.
"I..." Looking at Li Xiaoheng who ran thousands of kilometers to find him just because of his words, Tao Mu hesitated for a long time and subconsciously shrank a little.
However, Chen Chen's rebirth and Zhuo Yan's unknown situation made Tao Mu feel a sense of crisis and anxiety. This emotion made it impossible for Tao Mu to conceal the secret of his rebirth with peace of mind. He was afraid that one day Li Xiaoheng and his family would learn the truth from other people somewhere else. By then he might be even more passive and embarrassed.
Tao Mu didn't dare to imagine that kind of situation. So after thinking it over, he decided to reveal his secret: "...Whether you believe it or not, I was actually reborn."
Some things, once you start talking about them, the following words are easy to say. Tao Mu spoke almost mechanically, trying his best to act like a neutral bystander, and told the stupid things he had done in his previous life.
Tao Mu thought Li Xiaoheng would be shocked, would not believe it, and might even think he was joking or crazy. However, contrary to Tao Mu's expectations, after listening to his words, Li Xiaoheng just nodded calmly. In a tone of "as expected", Tao Mu directly concluded his speech: "So your idea now is to take revenge on the Shen family?"
Li Xiaoheng's attitude was so calm that Tao Mu was a little dazed: "What?"
"I have long known that the Shen family puts profit first, but I really didn't expect that the Shen family would go this far for profit."
He watched helplessly as outsiders who had usurped the throne bullied his own flesh and blood relatives. Instead of helping his own family members to vent their anger, he chose to aid and abet the evil. The only reason was that Tao Mu's value of use was not as great as Shen Yu's. Although Tao Mu downplayed the past when he recalled it, Li Xiaoheng could imagine how helpless, resentful and unwilling Tao Mu was at that time.
That's ridiculous.
"Since the Shen family cares so much about the interests of the Shen Group that they are willing to force you to die, then we should just destroy what they care about most." Li Xiaoheng held Tao Mu's hand: "Whether it's the Shen family or the guy surnamed Zhuo, if they are completely unaware, then we are bullying them by taking revenge rashly. That's why you chose to stay away from them after your rebirth. Because you feel that you have no way to appeal for your grievances, and you have no way to seek justice for everything you experienced in your previous life."
"But like you said, since Chen Chen and Zhuo Yan may be reborn, they are no longer innocent. We have a legitimate reason to seek revenge."
"What's more, since those two people can scheme against you for their own benefit, they may continue to scheme against you for your whole life. We can't just wait for the other party to make a move and then passively respond. Now Zhuo Yan has joined forces with the Yao family to fight the Shen family. We can take this opportunity to catch these people in one fell swoop. Let them know that what they care about the most, what they want to protect the most, and what they are willing to do even if it means taking advantage of you and forcing you to death, is exactly what we care the least about."
Li Xiaoheng has always believed that the best revenge on his enemy is to snatch away what his enemy cares about most and then destroy it like a piece of trash.
Coincidentally, Tao Mu thought so too. only--
Tao Mu licked his lips and subconsciously tightened Li Xiaoheng's hand: "I thought you would look down on me in my previous life. You would think that I was very bad. Moreover, I thought you would not believe me. You would think that I was talking nonsense. How could you believe me so easily?" How could you be so calm.
"I also thought that you would never tell me these things." Li Xiaoheng smiled gently and touched Tao Mu's head: "I said that I like you as a person. I like your strengths, and I don't hate your weaknesses. Maybe you have done something wrong, and even you look down on yourself. But in my eyes, you are the one who is glorious and the one who is confused and downtrodden. Without those experiences, you wouldn't be standing in front of me now."
"I like you now, but I can also tolerate you in the past. You don't have to worry about gains and losses in front of me." Li Xiaoheng said this, leaned forward, and kissed Tao Mu's eyebrows: "Because I love you, I love the whole you."
It was as if the ice that had been frozen for the entire winter was melted into gurgling spring water by the warmth of spring. In an instant, Tao Mu felt a shudder rising from his tailbone and instantly spreading throughout his body. Tao Mu's whole body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but push Li Xiaoheng onto the sofa.
He used his eyes to describe Li Xiaoheng's handsome eyebrows and eyes. He pressed the man's slender and hot body under him, and watched as the president, who was always decisive and tough outside, let him be pressed under him with a gentle smile, and even put his arms around his waist for fear that he would fall. Tao Mu felt his heart was boiling hot, and he felt like he was floating.
I am so lucky. Tao Mu thought so. He couldn't help but hold Li Xiaoheng's hands tightly, intertwined their fingers, and lay his whole body on Li Xiaoheng. He even heard the strong beating of Li Xiaoheng's heart. Along with his own heart, it was beating extremely fast. It was like the drums of war were being beaten.
Tao Mu felt that because of this sentence, even if Li Xiaoheng didn't like him or wanted him anymore, he would not let go obediently.
"Li Xiaoheng!" Tao Mu gritted his teeth and stared at the person under him, saying viciously: "You are finished. I will tear up the contract. Even if you don't like me in the future, I will not break up with you peacefully."
He will hold on to this person tightly, hold on tightly, and will never let go.
Li Xiaoheng smiled when he heard this, hugged Tao Mu tightly and pulled him down, chuckling, "I couldn't ask for more."
