Almost subconsciously, the man grabbed Yu Luotong's left hand and dragged it to his side.

an obvious act of declaring sovereignty

However, Yu Luotong didn't notice the delicate atmosphere at the moment, just greeted Song Yan happily to sit down opposite them, then turned to the man beside him and said, "David, this is Brother Yan I mentioned to you, Song Yan. ."

He said to Song Yan again, "This is David, um... The one from my family."

David raised his eyebrows and smiled, extended his hand to Song, and said in some broken Chinese, "Hello."

The previous conjecture was confirmed, and Song Yan's heart gradually cooled down.

He thought that this time when he reunited with Luo Tong, as long as they worked hard, there was still hope for them to come together, but he didn't expect that such a Cheng Yaojin would be killed halfway through.

Although he really didn't want to shake hands with this person, Song Yan still tried his best to maintain his decent image, shook his hand briefly, and asked, "Which country?"

"Chinese-American." Yu Luotong explained next to him, "I met David after I went to the United States. I didn't know my life well at first, and I wasn't good at speaking. He helped me a lot. When we came and went, we just..."

Song Yan interrupted him, "How come you are the only one in City C a few days ago?"

"There was a quarrel with David before," Yu Luotong looked a little embarrassed. "I was on impulse and ran back to the country alone. David chased all the way to City C, and then... we made up."

After hearing this, David patted Yu Luotong's head dotingly.

Yu Luotong said again: "By the way, Brother Yan, I heard that you are with Xia Lin. As for Xia Lin, why didn't you ask him to come out together?"

Song Yan didn't expect that Yu Luotong would mention Xia Lin in such a familiar tone, so he said angrily, "I broke up with him."

"Break it?" Yu Luotong was startled, some did not respond.

Song Yan was silent for a moment, and he didn't care about David by his side, and said bluntly: "Luo Tong, you should know my feelings for you the most. Back then he lied to me that you died in a foreign land and could not even find the corpse capital. I'm so miserable I can barely live, I. I... can't forgive him."

Yu Luotong stared at Song Yan for a while, then murmured, "Xia Lin... Didn't he tell you?

Song Yan was startled: "Tell me what?"

Yu Luotong pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I asked him to help me with the lie."

Song Yan suddenly stood up and stared at him: "What did you say?

Yu Luotong was taken aback and shrank into David's arms. David immediately took Yu Luotong's shoulders and cast a warning look at Song Yan.

Song Yan also realized that he had frightened Yu Luotong, but his mind was in chaos at the moment. He stood there for a long time before slowly sitting back, holding his forehead and asking, "What's going on?"

Yu Luotong took a sip of coffee with lingering fears before slowly telling the truth: "Brother Yan, I really liked you before, but when you told me that you came out with your family for me, I was both moved and scared. ."

"You are the only seedling of the Song family and the only heir of the Song family. How could your family let you go like this. So later, when you were arranged by your family to study in the UK, your grandfather found me."

Song Yan leaned forward: "What did they do to you?"

Yu Luotong closed his eyes: "Your grandfather just made me realize how much disaster I will bring to you if I insist on being with you... I can't be so selfish, and I can't let myself be your burden. ."

Song Yan sighed helplessly: "Luo Tong, you are too simple and kind, he just scare you, if we really want to be together, he can't do anything to us. Look at me and Xia Lin now. Together, despite paying some costs and living conditions not as good as before, we are still living well."

Yu Luotong smiled bitterly: "How can I compare with Xia Lin, he has his family backing, and I have nothing."

Song Yan was silent, Yu Luotong was right, Xia Lin was stronger than Yu Luotong in various senses, so he dared to come out in front of the two major families back then, but Luotong could only escape. .

So, the illusion of that death was led by my grandfather behind the scenes? "

Yu Luotong nodded: "Your grandfather said that with your character, you will not easily break up with me. Only by my death can you completely break your thoughts."

Song Yan lowered his head and fell into silence

Yu Luotong added: "I originally promised your grandfather that I would never appear in front of you again. But then I heard that you and Xia Lin were together, and your grandfather didn't embarrass you anymore. He must have thought about it. , so I sneaked back to China, and I didn't expect to meet you when I went to City C. At that time, because I happened to be angry with David, I didn't have the mood to tell you in detail. I didn't expect to cause you to quarrel with Xia Lin. ,It is my fault."

Song Yan scratched his hair a little distractedly, and lowered his head to comfort him: "It's not your fault, it's just my bad temper..."

He suddenly remembered that he slapped Xia Lin involuntarily yesterday afternoon, and his heart twitched.

He couldn't quite remember what Xia Lin's expression was like at that time. He only vaguely remembered that Xia Lin seemed to be trying to explain to him, but he didn't have the patience to listen.

Thinking of this, he became more and more irritable. Once the hatred for Xia Lin was emptied, it turned into a full body of guilt.

He slammed down a large glass of beer, then stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I'll take my leave."

He hurried out of the bar and was blown by the night wind, and suddenly his mind became clearer.

He wandered a few steps in front of his car, feeling empty and not knowing what to do.

In the past, when the two of them stumbled and quarreled, Xia Lin first lowered his head.

But this time, it might be a bit difficult to wait for Xia Lin to bow his head first.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Yan summoned the courage to send a WeChat message to Xia Lin: "Where?"

After waiting for several minutes, there was no reply from Xia Lin.

He finally couldn't bear it any longer and dialed Xia Lin's phone number directly.

After two beeps, a cold tone came from my ear—sorry, the user you dialed has been turned off.
