revenge
Xiangyang's voice was low, but like the chill of a Beijing winter, it pierced Dai Tianyu's heart. "Your deception has made him lose the ability and faith to love someone again. Do you know how cold it is to be alone in Beijing in winter?"
Dai Tianyu's lips trembled, and he wanted to explain, but no sound came out.
Xiangyang in front of him, his figure as tall as a mountain, reminded him of the guilt that he would never be able to face in his lifetime, the moral filth of betraying love.
That handsome face was now humble and dim, covered with frost.
The past flooded into Dai Tianyu's heart. That night three years ago, the same cold air almost suffocated him.
That was Jin Yu’s last night before leaving Taipei.
In the community park, it was late at night and everyone was asleep. Only the breathing sounds of the three of them echoed in the empty space.
Jiang Cailing's face was filled with anger. She shook off his hand and turned to leave. Dai Tianyu hurriedly grabbed her and said in a hurried tone, "Cailing, listen to me, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I only regarded him as a good colleague and a good brother. He really was harassing me..."
Before he could finish, a dark shadow suddenly rushed over.
Jin Yu's fist, filled with long-suppressed anger and despair, smashed hard on Dai Tianyu's chin.
"Fuck you, bastard!" Jin Yu's roar tore apart the balance and illusion of all order in the universe.
Dai Tianyu staggered after being hit, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Cailing screamed, and hurriedly opened her arms to protect him, shouting at Jin Yu: "Why are you hitting me?"
"Get out of the way!" Jin Yu's eyes were bloodshot, like a wounded beast. He stretched out his hand to push away Jiang Cailing who was blocking his way.
"Don't touch her!" Dai Tianyu shouted in panic, "She's pregnant!"
Jin Yu's raised fist froze in mid-air.
He stared at Dai Tianyu in disbelief, the color on his face gradually fading away, leaving only a completely chilling look.
Time was frozen, and all sounds were silent. After a long time, Jin Yu suddenly sneered, and there was boundless despair in that smile.
He slowly lowered his fist, without saying a word, turned around, and disappeared into the night.
The figure that left the world with scorn was deeply imprinted in Dai Tianyu's mind, becoming an indelible nightmare in his dreams at midnight.
At this moment, Dai Tianyu looked at Xiangyang who fell from the sky and demanded justice. He almost couldn't stand.
Suddenly, Xiangyang leaned forward and without warning, put his arms around his shoulders.
Before Dai Tianyu could react, a touch like burning charcoal covered his lips.
Xiangyang's kiss was irresistible, domineering and forceful.
Dai Tianyu was so frightened that he put his hands on Xiangyang's strong chest and struggled hard.
But Xiangyang was much taller and stronger than him, and his arms held him tightly like an iron clamp.
This kiss lasted a full ten seconds, which felt like a century.
Xiangyang finally pushed him away.
Dai Tianyu's face was pale with panic, his lips still stained with the bloody red of being violated, and his stomach was churning. He turned around in a panic and almost ran away, rushing back to the car parked not far away.
"Go, I won't regret my love, but I wish you happiness!" Xiangyang deliberately raised his voice behind him, acting well, but in fact every word was like a whip on his back.
Repaying lies with lies, this was Xiang Yang's sudden revenge, to comfort Jin Yu in heaven.
Dai Tianyu ran to the front of the car. Jiang Cailing was standing by the door. Her face was as pale as his, without a trace of blood.
She saw it, she saw it all.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Cailing's voice was sharp and trembling uncontrollably. "Dai Tianyu, how many ex-boyfriends do you have? What else are you hiding from me?"
"Let's go, get in the car, and go home!" Dai Tianyu lowered his head, not daring to look into his wife's eyes, his voice hoarse.
"What home are you going back to?" Jiang Cailing's emotions completely exploded, tears welling up in her eyes. "It turns out I wasn't the one being suspicious! Those dirty rumors out there are all true. Explain yourself to me..."
"Let's go!" Dai Tianyu growled roughly, pushed Jiang Cailing into the car forcefully, and quickly got into the driver's seat.
The engine let out a miserable roar, and the car drove away from the scene like a frightened bird, as if it was escaping for its life.
Xiangyang watched the car disappear in a mess at the alley entrance, with an extremely complicated smile on his lips. The pleasure of punishment and revenge was soon drowned out by deep heartache and melancholy.
He imagined the huge shadow that the kiss just now would cast on Dai Tianyu's seemingly happy family and marriage, and how the suspicion and cracks that were like maggots attached to the bones would slowly erode their foundation...
This was not a prank, but a thorough execution carried out by God through his hands.
He turned around and prepared to leave, but saw a dazzlingly tall young man under a blooming camellia tree not far away.
Jin Cang stood there quietly, not knowing how long he had been standing there or how much he had seen.
Rongxing Garden, near Taipei First Funeral Home, is famous for its bougainvillea flower corridor.
Xiangyang and Jin Cang walked in side by side. They walked under the colorful flower corridor, speechless for a moment. The sunlight filtered through the dense petals and leaves, casting an indescribable, dramatic atmosphere.
"Why did you do that?" Jin Cang's voice was low, his confusion barely concealed. He tilted his head to look at Xiang Yang, this man from Beijing. How many missions did he carry on this journey?
And how many of these tasks are related to him?
Xiangyang sighed deeply, his eyes drifting to the clouds in the sky, which were gradually being dyed red by the setting sun. "Alas, your brother has been working so hard. I can't help but want to speak up for him." He then gave a wry smile, "Am I being a little too naive?"
Jin Cang shook his head and looked at Xiang Yang with an especially sincere look. "Thank you. Thank you for my brother..." He paused and changed the subject, "for our family, all that you have done."
"The person is gone now. No matter how much we do, it's too late." Xiangyang's voice was filled with melancholy.
"Are you...very close to my brother?" Jin Cang asked, his tone full of curiosity.
This man traveled thousands of miles to escort his brother's ashes back, and then did such a shocking thing for his brother at the funeral. The relationship between them must be very deep.
Xiang Yang paused, and turned to look at Jin Cang with a deep, smiling gaze. "Believe it or not? Seriously, I've only met him once."
Jin Cang's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief: "Why? I don't believe it."
Xiang Yang just smiled and didn't explain. Instead, he changed the subject: "So, you know Dai Tianyu?"
Jin Cang's eyes dimmed a little.
After what happened just now, the vague resentment and vigilance he had towards Xiangyang had now disappeared.
He nodded, his voice a little dull: "Yeah."
The past once again came to mind.
It was an evening four years ago when he first got a glimpse of the secret hidden deep in his brother Jin Yu's heart.
Four years ago, downtown Taipei was filled with office buildings.
In the evening, crowds of people leaving get off work pour in, adding a bit of excitement to the usually quiet commercial district.
There is a small coffee shop near the music production company where Jin Yu and Dai Tianyu work.
Jin Cang arrived at the coffee shop across the street as agreed. From a distance, he saw Jin Yu and Dai Tianyu each holding a cup of takeaway coffee and walking out of the store side by side.
Both of them were wearing casual shirts and had tall figures.
Dai Tianyu is slightly shorter than his brother and has a handsome appearance. At this moment, he is looking up and saying something to Jin Yu with a bright smile on his face.
Jin Yu also smiled and listened attentively. The sunlight shone on their young faces, and everything seemed so beautiful.
Jin Cang looked at them and felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
Not far away, a bus slowly pulled up to the station.
Dai Tianyu seemed to suddenly remember something, pointed at the bus, said something to Jin Yu, and ran towards the bus. Halfway through, he seemed to be pulled by something and suddenly turned back. Under Jin Yu's smiling gaze, he quickly kissed him on the cheek.
The kiss was very light, like a feather brushing past, but it stirred up a storm in Jin Cang's heart.
After the kiss, Dai Tianyu seemed a little embarrassed, ran away with a smile, and jumped onto the bus whose door was about to close.
Jin Yu stood there, watching the bus go away, with a smile still on his face.
He turned around and saw Jin Cang waving at him with a grin across the street.
He quickly crossed the street and handed the still warm cup of coffee to his brother.
"I bought it for you." Jin Yu's voice was as warm as ever.
"Thank you, brother." Jin Cang took the coffee and thanked him absentmindedly, still replaying the scene in his mind.
The two brothers walked side by side, slowly heading towards their home on Wuxing Street.
The setting sun stirred up people's thoughts. Ah Cang was still thinking over and over again, wondering how to ask the question in his heart.
After a long silence, Jin Cang finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother, what's the difference between liking boys and liking girls?"
Jin Yu's footsteps paused slightly, then quickly returned to normal.
He reached out and gently patted his left chest. His tone was calm but undeniable. "It all started from here. I fell in love because of that person, not because of their gender."
Jin Cang frowned, not quite understanding what he was saying. He tried hard to digest his brother's words. After a moment, he hesitantly asked, "Then... can it be corrected? Do I need to... see a doctor?"
Jin Yu smiled, a smile that was somewhat helpless, but also somewhat relieved: "This is in the blood, it's natural, no treatment is needed."
"If Dad knew..." Jin Cang's voice was full of worry.
Jin Yu's eyes dimmed: "He can't understand. He can't know."
Jin Cang immediately nodded solemnly, as if swearing an oath: "Don't worry, I won't tell!"
Jin Yu looked at his brother's childish seriousness and laughed unconsciously.
He reached out his hand and ruffled his brother's soft hair, imagining how he did when they were little.
When he put his palm over it, he suddenly realized that the little boy in his memory who always loved to crawl into his arms late at night and cried helplessly because he missed his mother, had grown up so tall.
Now, he even needed to stand on tiptoe slightly to ruffle his hair affectionately like before.
