Chapter 206: You're still gone.

Xie Qingcheng stiffened at the sound of his voice, but his face did not show any change. He slowly turned back to Anthony and looked at him in a nonchalant manner.

"You're here. I thought you'd be here a little earlier."

Anthony commented, "I just didn't think you could be that brazen, or I would have been here a long time ago to see it."

"He Yu trusts you enough to leave the door to his villa open."

"I told you, I'm his boyfriend now."

Xie Qingcheng coldly said, "A boyfriend who doesn't go home with him for ten days. If you had some charm, I wouldn't have to suffer so much these days."

Anthony seemed to be slapped by him, the snow-white face quickly reddened: "Xie Qingcheng, you're too cheap, do you think he likes you so much? He just hasn't seen you for a long time, so he feels fresh, you are now half blind! You are now half blind! You are now half blind! No ghost will like you. Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? Who in their right mind would choose you over me?"

It was true, Anthony did look better than he did now, having not suffered such a setback and having kept his spirits perfect, but Xie Qingcheng had not cared a bit about looks.

A naturally handsome man like him has been moisturized by other people's kindness for more than thirty years, so that no matter how downtrodden he is, there is still a breath in his heart that allows him to show some reserve and arrogance from his hands and feet. This is why some people to eighty years old are old handsome reason.

Xie Qingcheng indifferently said, "Very well, then please ask him to spend the night in a hotel today, or immediately let him send me back, I believe that as his boyfriend, this is something you can always do."

Anthony blushed Tie Qing.

"Can't I?" Xie Qingcheng said, "That's too bad."

Anthony remained silent for half a day, squeezing out a grim smile from between his teeth, "You don't have to provoke me, Xie Qingcheng, I know you still like him, and even though he's reliving his dreams with you right now, he's long since been disgusted with you, and sooner or later he'll dump you. What I seek with him is also an open relationship, I'm not as traditional and boring as you are."

Xie Qingcheng looked at him faintly and said, "It doesn't matter to me at all what happens to He Yu and you, I neither like him nor do I consider you family anymore, whether your relationship is open or closed is none of my business."

Anthony Knight said, "I'm the one who took your place!"

Xie Qingcheng said, "Since you're so interested in my position that you think about it day and night and crawl up on your knees a million times to take it, then take it. I don't mind."

"Kneeling ...... You said I was kneeling?" Anthony's complexion suddenly became extremely horrible, "Xie Qingcheng, what qualifications do you have to say that I am kneeling! How unattainable do you think you are? Do you think you're so great? Don't think I don't know how unwilling you are in your heart and how painful you feel! I took your place as the closest person to him, and it's hard for you! Don't try to pretend anymore!"

"Why should I feel pain." Xie Qingcheng indifferently said, "For someone who has hurt each other like this, do you think I would."

"You will!" Anthony practically spat, and then he threw something in front of Xie Qingcheng that hit the hard corner of the table and shattered the moment it fell.

Xie Qingcheng's pupils narrowed.

--

It was the little fire dragon he kept at home, brought across the ocean from China and back home with him.

After all those years with him, in this moment, it was smashed by Anthony.

"Look what I found in your house, if you don't mind ...... you won't keep this, will you? It's not something you like, it's something he likes, he gave it to you, didn't he? That's why it's broken you have to stick it back and keep it to yourself ...... How pathetic, Xie Qingcheng." Anthony looked at the man's face that finally went down miserably white, and revealed an extremely twisted smile.

"You like him, Xie Qingcheng, and even if you don't admit it anymore, the truth is still in front of you, and he doesn't care about you anymore, and he can let me be the one next to him-he used to be the only one who loved you the most, but not anymore. I'm the one who took that away." Anthony said morosely.

"You lost to me, you lost to me!"

"Xie Lishen." Xie Qingcheng's gaze finally moved away from the broken little fire dragon and landed on Anthony, whose aura seemed to have changed all of a sudden.

The aura was so familiar that Anthony was forced to take a step back subconsciously before realizing that it was very much like the way Xie Qingcheng, his big brother, used to lecture him or Xie Xue when they were kids.

Anthony was stunned and immediately became irritated.

Why, after twenty years, is he still shocked by him?

Xie Qingcheng said, "Do you know what I regret most about not teaching you in the first place?"

"......"

"I didn't teach you that winning and losing doesn't matter. You grew up taking winning and losing too seriously, and as a result, you lost a lot of things far more important than the outcome." Xie Qingcheng said, "I think you're pathetic."

"What did you say? ...... you think I'm pathetic?" Anthony was touched, "Hahahahaha, Xie Qingcheng! You and your parents are so fond of looking down on others, aren't you? I'm telling you! You're in no position to look down on me now, only I can look down on you!"

He showed his teeth and grimaced.

"You've lost everything! Family, career, health ...... loved and hated, you've lost it all! What makes you so high and mighty, huh? What gives you the right!"

As if that was not enough, he continued to stab Xie Qingcheng's armor.

"You've always been so pretentious, completely unaware of how many people you've hurt with your pretentiousness! Why don't you think about how He Yu got 'killed' by you, even he couldn't stand you, even such a crazy person who was in love with you was pushed to the brink of extinction by you, by you by me ...... And you dare to call me pathetic?"

Lead your neck into a long laugh.

"Ridiculous, Xie Qingcheng. you don't even know how ridiculous you are yourself! You don't even know ...... you don't even know how ugly you really are in our eyes!"

Xie Qingcheng coldly said, "I don't mind even if I am worse than a pig or a dog in your eyes, what does your dog's eyes have to do with me."

"Really?" Anthony's eyes flashed with a malicious light, "You don't care ...... well one doesn't care, it seems you don't mind at all to be known by me, you and He Yu's all those fragrant private past, isn't it?"

"......" Xie Qingcheng lifted his eyes, his gaze moving slightly.

Anthony smiled slyly, "I know about all the ...... stuff that happened between you guys that you think is still secret."

He stared into Xie Qingcheng's eyes, then hissed and spat like a snake, uttering words quenched with poison.

"You surely can't think of it ...... Xie Qingcheng.There's no hurry, I'll slowly say it to you."

"-I know the first time you met him was on the lawn of his cottage, and he picked up the white veil from the bouquet for you. I know the first time you slept with him was at the Empty Night Club, where he poured you drugged wine and you screwed. I know he tangled with you in the dressing room of the school stage, know that you had to go along with it because he had the pictures - I - know everything."

"I know you investigated cases together later, I know how much he looked up to you then. I know that little fire dragon was his gift to you, and I know that you once thought it was fake and not pretty at all. I know that after He Jiwei's death, you lingered with He Yu, who longed for some living breath. I know that this honorable mouth of yours once said such lowly words as actively wanting him, Xie Qingcheng, these ...... I know it all!"

Xie Qingcheng Although he didn't lose his composure, the color of blood on his face was disappearing little by little.

"Aren't you curious as to why I know? These are secrets that should only exist between the two of you." Anthony was like a snake shedding its skin and a toad spitting out water, every word sound was slimy and sticky as if wrapped in a slippery slurry as he said, "It's actually quite easy to guess, only you and him know about these things, and since you didn't tell me about them, the only person who told me about these ridiculous pasts of yours ...... would be He Yu!"

"It was so boring for a while rehabbing in Australia ...... He and I did nothing but talk, and after he got disillusioned with you, he told me everything. Oh yeah, and you know what, we still have a video of you and him in the car on your birthday!"

Anthony said this, and as expected, saw a look of dismay and stung on Xie Qingcheng's face.

"You probably haven't even seen that video, you should ask He Yu to take a look at it sometime, after all, you're one of the main actors, and the footage is amazing." Anthony could feel himself finally breaking through Xie Qingcheng's armor, the sharp blade piercing his heart! He laughed out loud -

"He and I watch that video every night for a quickie, once or twice ...... several times if we're in the mood."

Xie Qingcheng raised his eyes and forced himself to calm down before saying, "You're so fucking perverted."

"Cousin, I said it all." Anthony leaned in close to his face, hating to take in every inch of the tiniest pain on his face, Xie Qingcheng's pain sent shivers of excitement through his body, "I don't care about the one and only, I'm a seeker of an open relationship, excitement and hedonism is what I love- -And your ......"

He snorted as he spoke, "Kid? That's what you call him, isn't it."

"Your little brat, who has also come to terms with me, has gotten a joy out of sharing that video of you guys with me that he never knew when he was following the rules, and little by little ...... he became addicted."

Anthony's voice sounded like it came from the depths of hell.

He said, "Xie Qingcheng, the secret between you two has long since become a bedtime story that he and I would share in bed, a joke that we would talk about after tea. You don't think that if he is always circling around you these days, that he is infatuated with you and has developed some kind of good feelings. You're so self-absorbed that if I hadn't been kind enough to tell you all this, you'd only be a self-absorbed person who would still think he loves you miserably."

Anthony laughed softly, "Unfortunately no more. There's no one left who will love you at any cost."

"Xie Qingcheng, nowadays you are an outdated joke in my eyes-you are an outdated joke in the eyes of He Yu and me! An old, sick joke! He'll soon get tired of playing with you-I'll wait."

Xie Qingcheng a pair of eyes looking at him, because one eye is blind, one eye is also nearly half blind, so Xie Qingcheng's eye pupil light is often scattered, when looking at people, like a glass bead, but instead of being able to clearly reflect the other person's reflection, as if it can illuminate the human heart.

"So you came here today just to talk to me about this?"

Anthony didn't expect him to react like this and gritted his teeth, "...... What are you still holding on to? If you're sad and upset you should show weakness ...... Will you make a weak gesture?!"

"I don't know how." Xie Qingcheng said, "Will you teach me?"

"You--!"

Anthony was furious.

Even after being humiliated to this extent, Xie Qingcheng was still able to hurt him back, insulting him as the weak one.

He's too angry ......

For more than thirty years, Xie Qingcheng's existence is the original sin, no matter Xie Qingcheng does not look at him, no matter how much Xie Qingcheng does not care about him, in Anthony's view, that is his cousin in disguise.

He has imagined countless things about Xie Qingcheng's plotting against him since he was a child, and it's almost as if he's suffering from delusions of grandeur. He felt that Xie Qingcheng was always keeping an eye on him, fearing that he would rob him of his benefits, and whenever he suffered any setbacks or injuries, he thought that Xie Qingcheng must have set him up behind his back.

It was Xie Qingcheng's father who stole what should have belonged to his father and his position. Xie Qingcheng was that man's son, so how could it be different?

So it was Xie Qingcheng who lost his workbook.

When he was stung by a centipede at home, he thought the centipede was put there by Xie Qingcheng to take revenge on him.

Even the first time he fell in love with a boy who rejected him on the grounds that he preferred his brother, he thought it was Xie Qingcheng's fault.

He's too self-centered and takes himself too seriously, so he blames everything that's not as good as it should be on this cousin who doesn't actually bother with him at all.

And when he was confronted with Xie Qingcheng's indifference, he only became more mortified, thinking that Xie Qingcheng was in disguise, how could Xie Qingcheng not pay any attention to him at all! How could Xie Qingcheng not care about him at all? How could he not care about the winners and losers between them?

This kind of human sickness, which was even more terrible than the mental Ai Bola disease, made Anthony lose his mind in an instant, and his anger burned up, Anthony was suddenly controlled by the flame of anger, and he grabbed Xie Qingcheng's hair, pulling the weak man, and even slammed his forehead towards the corner of the table!

"Bang!" A heavy thud!

Anthony was deeply amused by the ghastly sound.

He laughed out loud, clutching Xie Qingcheng, who barely had any strength left at the moment, and slammed the head he hated into the corner of the table over and over again, blood flowing out, bright red dripping all over his palm.

Xie Lishen laughed and cursed his brother over and over again, and finally the laugh was so distorted that you couldn't tell it was a laugh, and entwined with his frantic voice was the thud of his head hitting the corner of the table.

"You deserve to die! Xie Qingcheng, you deserve to be buried in the ground rotting in the mud along with your ridiculous pride! You deserve--you deserve--"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a change of tone from the doorway, followed by someone coming in and tugging on his arm.

"What are you doing?!!!"

Anthony's hand had not yet stopped due to inertia, and once again poked the side of Xie Qingcheng's head with a hard impact. At that moment, his hearing seemed to be blurred by the shock, and Xie Qingcheng forcibly raised his eyes, and the blood on his forehead dripped down, flowing into his eye sockets, and coloring his field of vision with a scarlet red.

In the midst of the scarlet he saw coming in a man ......

He had thought it would be He Yu.

But it's not.

The person who came in ...... turned out to be ...... Chen Man ......

Neither Xie Qingcheng nor Anthony knew how he came to He's house or how he found this room. In the midst of the chaos, Chen Man had already rushed over, and with a standard grapple, he had Anthony pinned down on the ground, his eyes spewing out fire, and it looked like he wanted to knock Anthony out on the ground, but Chen Man was no longer as impulsive as he was back in the day.

Suppressing his outburst of anger with reason, he quickly fumbled for the handcuffs from the back of his waist and clicked Anthony's hands together before rising from the floor.

"Brother! Are you alright? I'll take you to the hospital right away ...... I'll take you to the hospital right away ......" Chen Man turned back, his hands and feet scrambling to cope with the wound on Xie Qingcheng's forehead, he pulled out his blue and white thousand bird check handkerchief , covering Xie Qingcheng's blood-soaked wound, "I'll take you down."

"How did you find your way here ......"

"Xie Xue and I both felt that the messages you sent in the past few days were not right, and also felt that there was something strange about you leaving the venue before, the more we thought about it, the more wrong ...... Later, we went to your house to look for you, and we couldn't see anyone, and the books on the table accumulated a layer of dust... ...I just thought ...... I just thought you should be here ...... In short, it's hard to say ......" Chen Man trembled, "Brother, He Yu Did he bully you? Is he ...... is he ......"

Xie Qingcheng shook his head, stopping Chen Man's inquiry.

There was no longer any blood on his lips.

Chen Man did not dare to delay and said, "I will take you away ...... now."

He turned his head sideways and called his teammates up -

After waiting for a few moments, footsteps came from outside the house, Chen Man very carefully wiped the blood on Xie Qingcheng s forehead and softly said, ''Slow down, brother, it s okay. We are leaving now, right away ...... Xiao Zhang, come over and help! Little ......"

After calling out with no response, Chen Man lifted his head in anxiety and saw the person standing in the doorway of the bedroom, and instantly changed his face.

He Yu!

Dressed in a black trench coat of high-fashion tweed, He Yu is looking around the room eerily. His gaze skims over Anthony, lingers for a moment on Chen Man's face, and finally locks onto Xie Qingcheng.

He stared at Xie Qingcheng's forehead and paused, his lips lightly parted, but his words were spoken to Chen Man: "You're trespassing, you know, Officer Chen."

Chen Man's partner came up huffing and puffing, "Team, Captain."

Upon seeing He Yu at the door, he was taken aback, "Huh? When we asked Guan Jia just now, he still said you weren't there, and he lied to the police!"

He Yu ignored it and took a step into the bedroom, there was a bit of snow drifting outside and some water stains from the melted snow still fell on the shoulders of his black sweater, he raised his hand and held the tip of his glove's set and slowly took it off and tossed it aside.

In the process, he never took his eyes off Xie Qingcheng by half an inch.

"I just got back from being out."

After a pause, he added, "I need an explanation - why you, the police, are in my house."

Chen Man: "This is a search warrant. Read it yourself."

He Yu didn't take it, "What are you searching for."

"It has been reported that you are colluding with Duan Wen to introduce banned/drugs into the inland medical beauty market."

"Yes, I think I should hang an oil painting of Duan Wen and I raising a glass of wine and conspiring in the living room, at the very least it should be 3 meters by 2 meters in size, otherwise this evidence will not be strong enough." He Yu coldly said, "You can just break into people's houses to investigate because someone reported you?"

"And that's not all ...... " Chen Man said harshly, "We also located Xie Qingcheng's cell phone at your place!"

"......" He Yu was quiet for a moment, "It took quite a few days, didn't it, in order to break through the shielding device I set up. In fact, you should have called me earlier and asked me if Xie Qingcheng was in my house, and I would have told you honestly - yes, that's right. He is in my place."

He stepped forward, and after taking a closer look at the wound on Xie Qingcheng's forehead, he finally managed to roll his eyes and return his gaze to Chen Man.

"He's here with me, what, the laws of this country don't allow Prof. Xie Qingcheng Xie to treat in the home of an old friend?"

"You put him under house arrest--"

"Don't get bloody, Officer Chan, I didn't put him under house arrest, I didn't lock the doors, I didn't close the windows, I didn't restrict him from traveling, the only thing I did was block his cell phone signal because the doctors recommended that he should recuperate and you guys were too much of a nuisance, it's as simple as that."

"You mean he voluntarily stayed with you for so long? You don't be too ridiculous He Yu! He is now injured by your people to this state ...... Can't you see it with your blind eyes?!"

"Saw that." He Yu said indifferently, "But I also saw you injure my personal physician as well, are you violently enforcing the law, Officer Chen?"

"You--!"

"My doctor may have clashed with Professor Xie out of some personal grudge, I didn't come just now and don't know the specifics, but your handcuffs are clearly handcuffed to my personal doctor's hand, and he still has injuries on his face. I do have surveillance here, why don't we go together and pull up a record to see how you injured him and whether he resisted?"

Chen Man A surge of blood rushed to his face, and he was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, a piercing buzzing continued to emanate from his skull, like an alarm that his body was on the verge of reaching its limit, he said to Chen Man, "Don't argue with him, you can't argue with him. Let's go."

"But ......"

Xie Qingcheng forced himself to hold himself up, and with a posture that made it as difficult as possible for people to see the mess, he straightened his back and slowly walked forward. He did not look at Xie Lishen, nor did he look at He Yu, nor did he even look at Chen Man.

Alone, he barely straightened himself up and walked forward, past the remains of the little fire dragon doll.

That little fire dragon, when he was in his broom, He Yu mentioned it to Xie Lishen as a joke ...... He walked past it and didn t even look at it anymore.

Blood kept trickling down his forehead and he reached out to cover it, but the blood flowed more and more ......

As he walked past He Yu, I don't know whether it was his illusion or not, but he felt that He Yu's hand trembled slightly, as if he wanted to make an assisting gesture.

But in the end, He Yu didn't move a muscle.

And Chen Man caught up and held him again, "Brother Xie, I'll accompany you ......"

He Yu said grimly, "Aren't you going to look at the surveillance records, Officer Chen? You're not going to continue the search? Are you leaving now?"

Chen Man looked back angrily, "You remember, people are doing what the heavens are watching, as long as you have really committed a crime, you will never be able to escape from this legal net."

He Yu's response was a sneer that fell from the corners of his lips, "What sin? The crime of sleeping with your brother? By the way, let me tell you, he didn't put up much of a fight when I did those things with him, so now having a one-night stand is a crime?"

Chen Man bellowed, "He Yu, what the hell are you talking about--!"

"I ghosted? You can look at the surveillance records and see the footage, then you'll see how much he enjoyed himself at my place. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until homosexuality is illegal to justify arresting me."

Chen Man's face was contorted with rage.

He opens his mouth, closes it again, and repeats it several times before he finally finds his voice from his anger, only to end up asking a question that has nothing to do with his profession, "...... Do you still fucking like him? He Yu?"

"......"

The room was dead silent.

Not only Chen Man, Anthony also stared closely at He Yu s face. Even Xiao Zhang, who was in the clouds, looked at him blankly.

Only Xie Qingcheng didn't look back.

"I told you." He Yu said without any expression, "He and I are just a one-night stand right now. My interest in him is limited. After staying together for more than ten days, this little bit of interest that arose out of hatred and nostalgia has pretty much been exhausted. Take him if you want to, Officer Chen, and save me the trouble of having to personally send him away again."

Chen Man's eyes were crimson, and only after a long time did he tremble, "...... He Yu, you're an animal ......!"

He Yu snorted and didn't bother to bother with Chen Man, only saying, "Thank you, Officer Chen, for the compliment, and please leave the key behind."

He paced over to Anthony and very gently and thoughtfully helped Anthony to his feet, flexing his fingers, section by section, slowly brushing over the bruises on the other man's face, the pupils of his eyes deep, like bottomless pools of darkness, "I have to unlock the door for someone."

Xie Qingcheng's injuries were so horrible that Chen Man had no time to dwell on them with He Yu, and he eventually returned to undo Anthony's handcuffs.

"You remember." Chen Man gritted his teeth, "I won't be able to let you off lightly."

Anthony just kept his head down and sneered, not saying much.

Chen Man left in a line.

Anthony and He Yu were the only ones left in this messy room.

Anthony held onto the table and slowly got up from the floor, wiping off the blood on his hands. During this process, He Yu never looked at him, but just lowered his head and looked at the little fire dragon doll on the floor.

The little fire dragon's tail flames shattered and his carapace touched, and he just lay there dumbfounded, maintaining the naive smile that never changed, only that smile finally shattered as well.

He looked at it long enough to pick it up.

Anthony tossed the bloodstained tissue into the paper basket, he seemed to have had enough for the day, and gasped, "I'm going back."

The man walked to the door, but heard a ghostly voice behind him.

"Stay back."

"......"

"I'll let it slide that you used your organizational position to break into my house. But--"

He Yu stood behind Anthony, playing with the broken fire dragon doll, his expression was gloomy, and he said, "What did you just say to Xie Qingcheng, can you repeat it back to me? Dr. An?"
