This time I abandoned you
The two people in the carriage were being affectionate when a rapid knock on the door suddenly broke the silence. "Brother, come here quickly. The Lin family and the Wei family are fighting."
Tao Xinghai leaned against the window, afraid of missing a single detail, and stood on tiptoe, looking somewhere, his face full of the look of anticipation. Lin Yu followed Tao Xinghai's gaze and, through the gaps between the people, could vaguely see the figures of two men entangled.
"Wei Zhe and who from the Lin family? Lin Qingyu?" Tao Xingye didn't know why the two of them, with their identities, would fight in public.
"Brother," Tao Xinghai said, leaning against the window in a mysterious manner. If you gave him a piece of grass right now, he would definitely hold it in his mouth. "Do you want to know?" He raised two fingers and shook them back and forth. "No cheating, twenty thousand for a piece of information, how about it?"
"..." Tao Xingye pushed Tao Xinghai away with disgust, and opened the door of the van, and then opened it again... The door of the van froze halfway, as if it was nailed down and could not be opened.
"...It's time to oil the car." Tao Xingye, as if to save face, closed the half-open door with a stiff face and got out of the car from the other side.
Lin Yu looked back and forth at the two of them, gritting his teeth and pinching his thighs, trying desperately not to laugh, but he couldn't help it. "Hahahahahahahahaha, Xingye, why are you like a bad luck bear? How can you be so cute?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but follow him down and hang onto Tao Xingye, rubbing Tao Xingye's face back and forth. For some reason, Tao Xingye felt that Lin Yu was surprisingly excited at the moment. Her face was red from the heat. The sun was shining brightly at the moment, and she was already dark. She didn't want to get even darker if she followed him down.
"Get in the car and pack your things," Tao Xingye said as he pushed Lin Yu towards the car. However, she turned around nimbly and went to the other side, half-raising her head and looking at Tao Xinghai. "Why did they fight?"
It was the first time that Tao Xingye knew Lin Yu was so gossipy. He reached back into the car to get his phone, "I'll transfer the 20,000 right now..."
"It's for Chen Meng." Tao Xinghai's clear voice drowned out Tao Xingye. "But Sister Chen Meng doesn't seem to like either of them. They've been fighting for so long, and Sister Chen Meng just stood aside as if nothing happened."
Tao Xinghai raised an eyebrow at his brother and said, "I told my sister-in-law that I don't want any money."
“我拳头可不是面粉做的。”陶星冶真没见过他弟弟这么欠揍的人，简单通俗来讲就是贱！他之前怎么没发现他弟弟这么贱，自从和林雨结婚后，他整天变着法地气自己，“你给我站住。”
"I have a brain in here!" Tao Xinghai pointed at his head and started running. Tao Xingye followed closely behind him. The two were equally strong and ran around the van for many laps without a clear winner.
Luo Youqiong had packed her things and was about to ask the tour leader when they would set off when she saw this scene. She unconsciously held her luggage in her hand, deliberately picked up her cell phone and pretended to put it to her ear, then walked towards the van.
"Come on, if you can't catch up with me, I'll be your brother!" Tao Xinghai said provocatively while running. When he turned his head, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him from nowhere. Without time to brake, he crashed into the man.
Subconsciously, he hugged the man's body and held the girl in his arms. The two of them rolled on the ground and finally stopped. "Are you okay?" Tao Xinghai propped himself up and asked the person in his arms. Luo Youqiong looked at him straight with an indescribable determination in her eyes.
Tao Xinghai then recognized her and his tone suddenly turned cold, "Get up if you're okay." He pulled out his arm and let Luo Youqiong's body touch the ground.
Luo Youqiong found it funny. She slowly sat up but did not stand up. She stared at Tao Xinghai's back as if she was sure of victory. "My ankle is injured." There was no awkwardness in her tone at all, and she spoke with a conceited and coquettish tone.
Tao Xingye and Lin Yu both noticed that something was wrong between the two, and they looked away tacitly.
"We won't be back until four o'clock, so you should send this girl out first." Tao Xingye patted his brother's shoulder, put his arm around Lin Yu's shoulder and left.
"Help me up." Luo Youqiong's voice became more charming. She tilted her head and looked at Tao Xinghai with a smile, not caring at all how ugly Tao Xinghai's face was.
Seeing that Tao Xinghai didn't come over, Luo Youqiong raised her foot and hooked the man's trouser leg. She was wearing very loose sweatpants. At this moment, when she raised her leg, the trouser leg instantly moved up, revealing her red and swollen ankle. "Still don't believe it?"
They knew each other too well. The moment Tao Xinghai saw the person in his arms, he immediately realized that Luo Youqiong had deliberately let him bump into her; the moment Tao Xinghai hesitated, Luo Youqiong also immediately understood that he suspected that he was faking his injury.
Tao Xinghai leaned over and picked up Luo Youqiong. Luo Youqiong hooked her arms around Tao Xinghai's neck, enjoying it very much. Her lips rubbed his Adam's apple intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing the man's neck getting redder and redder, Luo Youqiong leaned a little closer to him.
"If you touch me again, I'll throw you down." Tao Xinghai's suppressed and restrained voice came from above his head. Luo Youqiong became even more excited. She slid her palm into the hem of his clothes and moved all the way up, teasing him everywhere.
Tao Xinghai gritted his teeth and walked faster and faster without saying a word. He opened the car door and threw Luo Youqiong in. Luo Youqiong groaned when she bumped her foot. Tao Xinghai approached her in revenge, "It's not that I like to touch you, but you also want me to touch you."
As if it was revenge, or as if he was satisfying his sexual desire, he used extra force in his hands. Even though Luo Youqiong was pinched by him and it hurt, she still held her head high and smiled. She hooked her arms around Tao Xinghai's neck, hung her whole body on him, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
The man froze, stunned for a few seconds before reacting and pulling Luo Youqiong away. He got in the car, and Luo Youqiong leaned against the passenger door, her head supported by the seatbelt. She smiled like a fox demon in a storybook, her eyes hooked as she clung to Tao Xinghai.
Tao Xinghai had seen this kind of look countless times, but precisely because he had seen it countless times, he was even more disgusted at this moment, "The ones selling it are cleaner than you."
His tone was vicious, and the smile on Luo Youqiong's face froze for a moment before returning to normal. She twirled her hair with her fingertips nonchalantly, "But you still can't forget me." Her eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept to between Tao Xinghai's legs, "I can't forget you either."
Tao Xinghai's face was almost frozen, and Luo Youqiong found it funny, "Drive, my feet hurt, okay." There was always a hook in the ending of her voice, and the lingering sound was like a silk thread. Tao Xinghai started the car and didn't want to look at her again.
She went to the emergency room of the hospital and found that her injury was more serious than she had imagined. The nurse applied medicine to her and told Luo Youqiong to scream out if it hurt, but she just smiled the whole time, not even missing a beat in her breathing.
After getting the medicine, Luo Youqiong passed by the vending machine and stared at the things inside the glass door for a long time. Tao Xinghai was waiting for her in front of him, but when he saw that she was not coming over, he turned around and looked.
Luo Youqiong was undoubtedly the most beautiful of all the young ladies he had ever seen. People said that the two beauties in Rongcheng were the most beautiful in the world, but he always felt that it was because those people had never seen Luo Youqiong.
At this moment, half of her face was illuminated by the soft white light from the vending machine. She had a full forehead, a high nose bridge, and full red lips. Even though she was not wearing makeup, her cheeks were slightly bloodshot from the days of hard work. However, Tao Xinghai felt that this was Luo Youqiong's most beautiful side.
She stared at something with soft eyes, and Tao Xinghai's tone unconsciously became lighter, "Just take whatever you want to buy, I'll pay." He took out his mobile phone and walked in. Luo Youqiong raised her eyes at the right time, and her sight fell on another completely different item.
She raised her hand and pressed the code. Tao Xinghai looked closely, his cheeks flushed instantly, his eyes stained with anger. He said nothing, just raised his hand to scan the code to pay. Luo Youqiong bent down and took out the box of condoms, fiddling with it back and forth. "It's a big brand, and it cost you a lot of money."
As she spoke, she put the condom into her bag. Her cell phone rang at that moment. Tao Xinghai clearly saw the ice in Luo Youqiong's eyes disappear, and a smile appeared on her face again. It was a genuine smile, "Zhihuan, ah, it's okay, I can go back by myself..."
"You bought condoms just to get home and fuck your fiancé?" Tao Xinghai's eyes blazed. He pressed on, gripping Luo Youqiong's shoulders. Luo Youqiong hung up the phone and anxiously sent a message to Xiang Zhihuan. But before she could type a few words, Tao Xinghai snatched the phone away.
The next second, Tao Xinghai actually lifted her onto his shoulders. Seeing she couldn't struggle any further, Luo Youqiong quickly covered her face. They were in public, and she knew the Tao family was a well-known entrepreneur in Jincheng. If someone took a picture of them and sent it to Hong Kong, she wouldn't be able to continue her engagement with the Xiang family.
Tao Xinghai threw her into the car. Seeing that she was protecting her face and didn't want to show up with him, he became even angrier. He almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed back to his apartment.
"Come on, use it with me tonight. I know your body better than him!" Tao Xinghai pulled Luo Youqiong into the elevator. Without even closing the door, he leaned over and kissed Luo Youqiong.
Luo Youqiong did not struggle. Tao Xinghai bit her and she also bit Tao Xinghai. After the kiss, blood oozed from the corners of both of their lips.
When the elevator door opened, Tao Xinghai was no longer in a hurry. He could even be described as gently pulling Luo Youqiong out of the elevator. He reached into her bag and took out the box. "One doesn't seem to be enough."
He put his hand on the back of her neck and pulled her to the bathroom...
The panting continued until late at night. Luo Youqiong put on one of Tao Xinghai's shirts and stood in front of the French window. She stood there with her arms folded. The bright lights outside made her figure look even thinner.
Tao Xinghai lay flat on the edge of the bed, staring at the ceiling relief with a hollow look in his eyes, as if he regretted his actions. The air conditioning in the room was turned down low, and he was covered with a thin blanket, which completely concealed the scratches on his body caused by Luo Youqiong.
Luo Youqiong bent down to pick up the bag on the ground, took a lady's cigarette and held it in her hand, "You don't mind, do you?" She just saw a box of cigarettes fall out of Tao Xinghai's pants, and she didn't know when Tao Xinghai started to learn to smoke.
"Is there a fire?"
Tao Xinghai's eyes slid over to Luo Youqiong, who didn't shy away from looking at him. He stared at her for a long time, until tears welled up in his eyes. He sat up, saying nothing, and took Luo Youqiong's wrist.
Both of them were barefoot. There was no carpet outside the bedroom, and the floor was terribly cold. Luo Youqiong subconsciously stepped on Tao Xinghai's feet and hung on him, "Hold me."
There were no lights outside, only the dim illumination from the corridor ceiling light. Luo Youqiong couldn't see Tao Xinghai's expression, but she knew he was unhappy. She tactfully let go of Tao Xinghai, and just as her feet touched the floor, a hot hand wrapped around her waist, and she was lifted sideways.
Tao Xinghai carried her into the kitchen. He put her on the ground, took the cigarette from her fingertips, lit the stove, and flames appeared immediately. His body was illuminated by an orange-yellow light, looking terrifyingly sexy.
Luo Youqiong was so fascinated by what she saw that she couldn't help but move closer.
Tao Xinghai brought the cigarette close to the flame and lit it, then turned off the flame. Instead of handing the cigarette to Luo Youqiong, he placed it between her lips. Luo Youqiong thought he was going to play some tricks again and happily moved closer, but Tao Xinghai suddenly took a step back. She was puzzled, but Tao Xinghai took another step back.
Luo Youqiong suddenly remembered something and looked at Tao Xinghai in disbelief. The man spoke slowly.
"When we were abroad, lying in the grass, there weren't many people around, and no one noticed us. I didn't know you were the daughter of the Luo family, and you didn't know I was the son of the Tao family. You were just a little girl named Luo, and I was just a boy named Tao who happened to like you. That day, it started raining after we had been lying there for a while."
"You said, why is the rain in England always like this? It leaves no one prepared. I kissed you on the cheek right after that, and you said, why am I always like this? I leave you no prepared." Tao Xinghai's voice was getting lower and lower. Luo Youqiong could hardly hold the cigarette between her lips. She hugged herself helplessly, took a puff of the cigarette, and turned to Tao Xinghai sideways, "It's night, it's time to go to bed early."
She turned around, her long hair cascading down in front of her. She looked a little desolate, as if she had fled. Tao Xinghai's calm voice echoed again, "I don't know if you still remember that it was you who took the initiative to love me. You also talked to me about the future, even saying that the relief on the ceiling of our house must have gold ingots. You also asked me what to do if you become addicted to smoking at night but don't have a lighter."
"I ran out to buy it for you!" Tao Xinghai sat up from Luo Youqiong's arms and curiously played with her hair. Luo Youqiong was not satisfied with his answer, especially because he answered so quickly without thinking carefully. "What if it rains outside?" Luo Youqiong pushed his hand away.
Rain? Tao Xinghai hadn't thought about that, but it didn't matter. "It's not like it rains every day in China." He lay back in Luo Youqiong's arms. The sky was surprisingly blue. When they had nothing to do, they loved to lie in the grass outside together, watching the sunrise and sunset over the Thames.
This answer somehow touched Luo Youqiong's bottom line. Her face suddenly became very stiff. She pushed Tao Xinghai away and ran away. She avoided Tao Xinghai for several days in a row.
Tao Xinghai waited outside her apartment all day, finally waiting for her to take out the trash. He suddenly ran out from the corner, wearing a simple white shirt and white pants, his eyes were big and bright, and a big smile was on his face. Luo Youqiong immediately ignored everything else, her heart beating uncontrollably. She thought, she couldn't distance herself from Tao Xinghai anymore.
"I know, baby. If you don't have a lighter, I'll light it for you on the kitchen stove. You don't have a smoking habit now, but if you do, it'll be a long time before you need to smoke, and it'll be at night. By then, we'll definitely be living together in our house. I'll use our stove to light your cigarette for you then."
His tone was very cheerful, and his brows, which had been nervously furrowed, completely relaxed after he finished speaking these words in one breath. He raised his head slightly as if asking for praise.
Luo Youqiong's heart trembled. She raised her hand and rubbed Tao Xinghai's hair. Since that day, she never mentioned the future again, and there was never a cold exchange between the two of them.
If Tao Xinghai had not been so obsessed with love at the time, he might have noticed the alienation hidden under the intimacy by Luo Youqiong. No couple is free of friction. How could it be possible that they were the only couple in the world who were made for each other?
"When you confessed to me, you said I didn't prepare you. When we broke up, I felt that you didn't prepare me. It sounds like we're even, but I always feel that you owe me something." Tao Xinghai closed his eyes, his tone terribly cold. He opened his eyes, raised his hand to take the cigarette from Luo Youqiong's mouth, and slowly put it to his lips. His expression was obscure and unclear, but his voice floated clearly into Luo Youqiong's ears -
"Please remember that this time it was me who abandoned you!"
A trace of revengeful ruthlessness flashed across Tao Xinghai's eyes. He took out his mobile phone, operated it several times, and clicked on a video. Suddenly, some sounds came from it. Luo Youqiong froze and looked at his mobile phone screen in disbelief. The scene of their hugging just now was shown on it. Even though it was only a small part, their faces could be clearly seen.
"Why are you recording this!" Luo Youqiong raised her hand to grab it. Tao Xinghai let her take it and delete it. He smoked slowly, "You should know that backing up is not a difficult task."
He laughed fiercely and slowly scratched Luo Youqiong's chin. He saw that Luo Youqiong finally tore off layers of masks and revealed her true side in front of him.
Tao Xinghai was very satisfied. After all, there was no future for him and Luo Youqiong. She had to pay a price for seducing him. In fact, there was no backup of the video. The one Luo Youqiong deleted was the only one. But as long as Luo Youqiong watched the video, she would automatically back it up in her heart.
She was even afraid to appear in public with herself. To her, this video could perhaps be described as terrifying.
"You're right, I really can't forget you. Then just stay with me until I get tired of you." The smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, just as bright as the smile he had when he ran to her from the corner and excitedly told her what to do when she was angry.
Luo Youqiong felt a strange feeling in her heart. She sneered, "I didn't tell you that I couldn't understand it, but now I'm speaking Cantonese myself." She waved her hand, as if she didn't mind his threat. "I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed."
This time it was her turn to speak Mandarin first. It seemed like this always between the two of them, back and forth, over and over again.
