A Real Man Isn’t Afraid of a Little Demon

    He was sitting on the sofa, using the remote control to change the TV station, listening to the sound from the bathroom. After a while, Chi Duoduo came out of the shower with a dry towel on his head.

    He ran to Yu Chu's side and wanted to throw off his slippers and get on the sofa, but Xie Xingmu, who was chased out, grabbed the back collar and said, "Go, go to bed and go to bed."

    The action of grabbing the back collar was so familiar that Yu Chu, who was eating the fruit platter, had a meal.

    Chi Duoduo was carried in the air like a chick, still begging: "Uncle, let me play with Xiao Chu for a while."

    "No, you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow." Xie Xingmu raised him in his arms and walked coldly towards the children's room.

    From the children's room came the sound of Chi Duoduo's laughter, and the gentle hum of the hair dryer. After a while, only Xie Xingmu's thick and gentle whispers remained.

    "...the little prince sat on the roof, looking at the stars in the sky, thinking in his heart, that flower will bloom tomorrow, it must be the most beautiful flower, more beautiful than the stars in the sky to be beautiful..."

    Yu Chu turned the sound of the TV to a minimum, carefully capturing Xie Xingmu's intermittent voice.

    "What does that flower look like?" Chi Duoduo's voice also seemed very quiet.

    Xie Xingmu said, "It's red, with pink gold edges, and white blue light."

    "What does the pink gold edge look like? What does the white blue light look like?" Chi Duoduo asked.

    Xie Xingmu paused for a moment and explained, "That's it, it looks pink, but it turns golden from another angle, it looks like it's flashing blue, and the base is white again."

    "...I can't think of it, uncle." Chi Duoduo was confused.

    "If you can't think of it, don't think about it. Anyway, as long as you know, it is the most beautiful flower in the world."

    "Okay, uncle, is Xiao Chu the cat you gave me?"

    "...Of course not! What do you say? Go to bed."

    Yu Chu leaned on the back of the sofa and couldn't help showing a smile.

    Coaxed Chi Duoduo to sleep, Xie Xingmu tucked the quilt for him, dimmed the bedside light, then leaned over and placed a light kiss on his forehead, crept out of the children's room, closed the door Door.

    When he turned around, seeing Yu Chu looking at him with a half-smile, he gestured to the indoor stairs and asked, "Go to the rooftop for a drink?"

    Have a drink? Can. Yu Chu stood up.

    "You go up first, I'll bring the drink." Xie Xingmu walked to the kitchen refrigerator.

    In the afternoon, Yu Chu had led Chi Duoduo down to the rooftop once, and then walked up the indoor stairs.

    The roof is very large and covered by a glass dome. On one side is the fitness area with an infinity pool and fitness equipment, and on the other side is the leisure area. The sun room is covered with long plush carpets, everywhere Throwing in a few cushions.

     Just as Yu Chu sat down on the carpet, Xie Xingmu went up to the rooftop. He held a tray in his hand and placed it on the low table beside Yu Chu. There are several cans of beer in the tray, and a huge transparent glass full of orange-yellow liquid.

    "I made a cocktail myself, try it." Xie Xingmu sat cross-legged opposite him, pushed the orange-yellow liquid in front of him, opened the can of beer and drank his head up. One bite.

    "Such a big cocktail." Yu Chu exclaimed.

    He saw this cup just now. It was placed on the dining table for blooming water. The capacity could fill three to four cups.

    "It's okay, drink it. Anyway, I'm at home. I'll fall asleep when I'm drunk." Xie Xingmu said.

    That's right, I haven't had a drink in a long time anyway, so I can have a drink tonight. Yu Chu held up the big chubby cup with both hands and took a sip carefully. Sweet and sour, the taste is not bad, but there is no wine taste at all.

    He smacked his lips and asked uncertainly, "This is your cocktail?"

    Xie Xingmu said, "Yes."

    "How come there is no wine smell?" Yu Chu brought it under his nose and smelled it again.

    A strong fruity aroma floated into the nose, and there was no alcohol smell at all. What kind of cocktail was it, it was clearly a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

    Xie Xingmu met his accusing eyes, paused, stretched out the beer can in his hand, poured a little bit into his glass, and said, "This time it's a cocktail, drink it ."

    Yu Chu handed him the juice angrily and said, "You drink this cocktail, I drink beer."

    Xie Xingmu didn't answer, and comforted: "You drink this cocktail. If you drink well and feel good after drinking, I will give you a beer."

    Xie Xingmu saw that he was holding the juice without speaking, and said, "What are you doing with a stinky face? Just like an alcoholic, cocktails can't satisfy you. How old are you now? Do you know how much alcohol is harmful to minors? Okay, you are an adult, but how long have you been an adult—"

    "Shut up!" Yu Chu also sat down the glass of juice unbearably, and the orange juice splashed a few drops on the table, he said with a sullen face: "Xie Xingmu, why are you so long-winded? "

    In the past on Xingyuan Island, when Xie Xingmu was his bodyguard, he felt that this person had a lot of things. , I can't sit in the gravel, and the heat is too heavy, but I didn't expect that after this person was not her bodyguard, the mother-in-law's energy became more and more powerful.

    "Do I call this long-winded?" Xie Xingmu sat taller than him and looked down at him, "I am your bodyguard, and I will take care of your personal and outrageous behavior."

    "You are no longer my bodyguard, and even if you are a former bodyguard, it is fake. You pretended to be my bodyguard to complete the task." Yu Chu said.

    "I'm the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, and you are an important witness in a serious case we are currently in charge of. Before the case is over, I also have the right to manage your daily life, and All kinds of outrageous behavior."

    Yu Chu glared at him and said, "I just want to drink some wine."

    Yu Chu laughed in anger: "A little beer is a cocktail, okay, okay, a cocktail." After he finished speaking, he stood up, picked up the big glass of juice, and under the gaze of Xie Xingmu, quickly Walking to the infinity swimming pool on the other side of the rooftop, I fell into it with a clatter.

    He shook the glass and emptied the last bit of juice. Then he turned around and said to Xie Xingmu, "Okay, now you have a pool of cocktails."

    Xie Xingmu watched him come back silently, opened a can of beer and handed it over, Yu Chu sat down opposite him, took a sip with his neck up.

    "You were drunk after drinking two beers before." Xie Xingmu's voice sounded a little helpless.

    Yu Chu said impatiently: "That was before, not to mention I don't remember."

    "Even if you don't want to drink juice, you can give it to me, it's a waste, and the water in the pool was changed yesterday, and it will be changed tomorrow..."

    "I didn't pour juice, I poured cocktails." Yu Chu took another sip of beer coldly.

    The two stopped talking and looked up at the night sky. The lights of the city are shining, and the night sky looks a little gray, and a few shining stars are faintly hanging in it.

    "Have you seen the stars on Xingyuan Island?" Xie Xingmu said suddenly, "The stars on Xingyuan Island are so beautiful, each one seems to fall into his arms."

    Yu Chu replied dully after a while: "No, I don't like Xingyuan Island."

    "Yu Shiqing is detained in the detention center, waiting for the trial. If you want to see him, I will find a way for you." Xie Xingmu said.

    Yu Chu said: "I don't like Xingyuan Island, and I don't want to see Yu Shiqing."

    "Yeah." Xie Xingmu nodded understandingly, and said, "Xingyuan Island has been sealed up, and some items that can be used as evidence have been transported back to the bureau. I have already instructed them to take your private Items were also brought back."

    Yu Chu said: "I don't have any personal belongings." After thinking about it, he added: "If you find this notebook, you can bring it to me."

    "Notebook?" Xie Xingmu asked.

    Yu Chu turned the beer can in his hand and said, "That's something I recorded before, and it's of no use to you."

    "Understood." Xie Xingmu suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder, then took it back.

    The two began to drink silently, and soon drank the cans of beer. Yu Chu lay on the long-haired carpet with a cloth pad under his head, and stretched out his feet to pedal beside the same. Xie Xingmu, who was half-lying, said, "Go, bring some more beer."

    "It's almost there, you've already drank three cans." Xie Xingmu said.

    Yu Chu began to kick his hard thigh: "Go, go quickly."

    Xie Xingmu sighed lowly and said softly, "It's cold at night, drinking too much beer is bad for the stomach."

    Yu Chu said, "Then change to another wine." Seeing that Xie Xingmu didn't move, he kicked a few more times, "Go quickly."

    Xie Xingmu turned to look at him and said, "That's okay, if you're drunk, don't go crazy."

    "No, go."

    Yu Chu wanted to say that he was often drunk, but he was never drunk. Thinking about it, he felt that this sentence would reveal the fact that he was not good at drinking, so he swallowed it in time.

    Xie Xingmu stood up and walked downstairs, Yu Chu watched his tall back disappear at the entrance of the stairs, and then lay on his back on the carpet, squinting lazily at the sky.

    "...The little bird is flying to the sky, the dandelion is floating in the wind, I carry my luggage, no matter how far it is, it is always in my mother's eyes..."

    He gently hummed a nursery rhyme from his childhood, and slowly stopped his voice when he was halfway through.

    He hasn't been so relaxed and comfortable for a long time, and he hasn't hummed this song for a long time. The most recent time was a few years ago.

    What was that time? It seems that he has finally obtained the permit to live in the top of the cloud, and he can escape from the life that never ends in the deep sea... I just didn't expect that although there is no worries about food and clothing in the top of the cloud, it is still dangerous.

    However, it is still life-threatening to cross here, and there is a wry smile on the corner of Yu Chu's mouth.

    "What are you looking at? Are you stupid?" While thinking about it, Xie Xingmu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

    Yu Chu turned to look at him, and saw that the man had already sat down next to him, and put a bottle of red wine and two tall transparent wine glasses on the low table.

    "I was thinking about what wine you want to bring." Yu Chu felt better when he saw that he was using a corkscrew to open the cork of the red wine.

    Xie Xingmu turned the corkscrew and said, "I bought this wine from a winery when I went to France on vacation last year. Try it. The wine from that winery is very good, and the scenery of the vineyard is also beautiful. I took Duoduo there with me, and in a blink of an eye, one person disappeared. It was so hard to find me, and it ended up being hidden in the big wooden barrel of the wine cellar. In the back, I was secretly drinking the wine that others poured..."

    Yu Chu listened to his subwoofer-like rustling sound, looked at his well-defined profile under the night sky, suddenly raised his foot, put it on his thigh, and then placed it on his leg. Slide up and down slowly.

    The words in Xie Xingmu's mouth suddenly disappeared, and the movements of his men also stopped. When Yu Chu's feet started to move towards the middle, he suddenly stretched out his right hand to hold his ankle, and then gently moved aside A toss, throwing his feet away.

    "Don't mess around," he said.

    Yu Chu did not make a sound, just lay on his back and watched Xie Xingmu open the wine bottle, poured wine into two wine glasses, pushed one to his side, and picked up the other , sniff gently under the nose.

    Yu Chu did not take care of the glass of wine, but continued silently. He half sat up, put his hands behind him, put his foot on Xie Xingmu's thigh again, and successfully stepped on a certain part before he grabbed his ankle.

    He kept his eyes fixed on Xie Xingmu, not letting go of every change in his expression, stepping on his feet gently.

    Xie Xingmu didn't grab his ankle this time, just stared at the wine glass in front of him.

    Yu Chu felt the touch under his feet become hard, and a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't explain the purpose of what he did, as if he just wanted to see Xie Xingmu lose his temper.

    "That's right, it's quite predictable." His voice was soft, with obvious bewitching.

    Xie Xingmu slowly turned his head to look at him, his face turned away from the light, and his outline became more distinct. In those dark, dark eyes, in addition to the indifference that Yu Chu was always familiar with, there was also some Emotions he couldn't understand.

    This kind of Xie Xingmu was like when they were not familiar with each other when they were in Xingyuan Island. Yu Chu was stunned, and stopped the movement of his feet.

    Suddenly, the world turned upside down, and when he blinked again, he was already lying on the carpet, and above it was Xie Xingmu's enlarged face.

    Xie Xingmu put his hands beside his ears, his upper body was covered with Yu Chu, he lowered his head and asked word by word, "When did you learn these tricks?"

    His voice was very low, and the distance was very close, and the heat was on Yu Chu's neck. Yu Chu heard the implied anger in his words, and subconsciously replied: "I learned it before."

    "What Yu Shiqing told you to learn?" Xie Xingmu asked through gritted teeth.

    Yu Chu asked blankly, "Yu Shiqing?"

    Xie Xingmu stared at him for a few seconds, exuding a fierce breath, Yu Chu couldn't help but feel a sense of fear being pressed by a large beast, and just lay motionless.

    "Are you familiar with this set?" Xie Xingmu asked again.

    Subconsciously aware of the danger, Yu Chu shook his head hurriedly: "I'm not familiar with it, only theory, not practice."

    When he had just grown into a teenager, he knew from the coveted or admired eyes of others that he was born with a good skin and knew how to use his appearance to achieve his goals. However, he knew better how to protect himself, and he maintained a seemingly vague distance from others, and he had never blatantly teased others like this.

    So what he said was the truth, only theory, and no one had made him interested in practice. I don't know if it was the night and the alcohol that made him relax his vigilance, or Xie Xingmu's behavior was too innocuous, which made him ignore the fact that this person was actually very threatening, and even made a move to provoke this person.

    Xie Xingmu looked down at him with heavy eyes, as if to see if he was telling the truth. After a while, he turned over and sat down, picked up the red wine glass in front of him and took a sip, all those fierce auras on his body faded, as if nothing had happened.

    Yu Chu lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up, muttering: "neuropathy."

    For the next time, the two of them didn't talk, they just drank wine slowly, and before they knew it, a large bottle of red wine was consumed.

    Xie Xingmu looked at the lights in the distance, suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and a soft body leaned up.

    He thought that Yu Chu was repeating his old tricks and wanted to use some tricks to provoke him, he couldn't help frowning, and turned to look at the person on his shoulder. As a result, with such a slight movement, the person on the shoulder slipped down and fell into his arms.

      The long eyelashes hang down on the lower eyelid, forming a dark and thick arc.

    Xie Xingmu stared at Yu Chu for a while, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile, and said, "Sure enough, he won't be drunk."
