Chapter 5

The number of floors on the elevator display didn't stop until "8". Li Xi stepped out of the elevator. The corridor was very quiet. Even the sound of leather shoes stepping on the hard marble floor could be clearly heard.

The wall lamp cast a cold light from overhead, Li Xi stood at the door for a while, then raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

He pressed the button three times in a row but didn't respond, Li Xi pursed his lips, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of icy air rushed toward his face, and there were still tiny dust floating in the air. Li Xi turned on the headlight of the living room at the entrance, and the bright light instantly illuminated the entire living room. He walked over. , but found that all the furniture in the room was covered with white cloth.

Li Xi stepped up to the second floor again and pushed open the door of the study, but the entire row of books on the second floor of the bookshelf disappeared.

Li Xi's brows jumped suddenly, like this... It's clear that no one has lived there for a long time.

When I bought this apartment, I saw that the greenery and the view are very good, and it was very close to the place where the man worked. Later, when it was renovated, he let people open up the upper and lower floors and turn it into a duplex building. , I was afraid that the person would not accept it at that time...

But, has he moved out?

A strange feeling flashed in Li Xi's heart, since as he said, if he was with him only for money, then why did he move out?

...

zizi——

The blue flame licked the bottom of the pot, and the hot oil at the bottom made a squeaking sound. Chu Yan beat an egg into it with one hand. As soon as the egg liquid came into close contact with the surface of the pot, the egg whites on the edge immediately turned brown.

[Master host is amazing, he can beat eggs with one hand! This dashing action, ah—I'm so happy~] System 2333 found a bowl and got into it, and it was as soft as a bun that was just out of the oven.

Chu Yan smiled when he heard the words, and put the fried egg on the plate, "Who did you learn from, this rainbow fart?" ]

[Master host, are you going to eat this tonight? ]

[You reminded me. ] Chu Yan turned off the fire, opened the refrigerator, took out a box of semi-finished microwave rice bowls, tore off the wrapping paper, poured it into the pot, and heated it with the base oil.

No microwave, just fry it.

[The host is so pitiful, I can only eat this kind of food, shall we go to have a big meal? ]

Chu Yan put down the chopsticks, [Don't worry, the big meal is not far away. ]

After solving the dinner problem, Chu Yan cleaned the dishes, and sat on the sofa, the only furniture in the whole house except for the bed, and played games for a while, and then got up to wash.

dong dong——

At about ten o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door. Chu Yan pulled the towel and wiped his hair, then slowly opened the door.

The lights in the aisle were very dim, and Li Xi was still knocking on the door. The door was suddenly opened, and when he could see who was coming, his hand was frozen in the air for a while.

Li Xi slowly put down his hand and looked at the person in front of him. His profile was deep and the bridge of his nose was high. When looking directly at people like this, his eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge.

Liang Suici didn't expect it to be him. His expression at that moment was even unexpected. It took a while before he said, "Li Xi?"

Li Xi looked at his expression up and down, and was disappointed to find that there was nothing other than an accident.

"Are you surprised?" There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were indifferent.

"In order to hide from me, you are willing to live in such a place?"

His tone was definitely not friendly, his voice was familiar but cold, with a strong irony, mercilessly breaking the silent and heavy gloom.

Liang Suici looked at him quietly, as if he didn't notice the maliciousness in his words at all, but his eyes moved slightly, "It's very late now, what are you doing here?"

Looking at his calm face, the smile on Li Xi's face paused slightly, his eyes looked through him to the room, "Come and see you, why, Dr. Liang didn't invite me into your new home? "

After he finished speaking, he took advantage of the other party's stunned time, and walked in straight with his feet raised.

Liang Suici subconsciously turned sideways to move away, with his hands still on the door frame, a little bit of hindsight.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Xi found that the place was smaller than he had imagined before. Everything in the room could be seen at a glance. There was a damp smell in the air, mixed with a strong and pungent smell of medicinal wine.

... He's not doing well either... Living in this kind of place, the air is cold and humid, there is no heating, the house is not soundproof, and the sound of traffic and people on the street can last almost until the early hours of the morning.

It is undeniable that Li Xi found that there was a kind of maliciousness in his heart, mixed with a sense of relief of hatred-he felt relief because of the fact that he was not living well, this despicable and dark emotion made him feel Very unexpected.

His eyes finally fell on the bottle of medicinal wine by the bed, a mocking sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he turned his eyes to Liang Suici who was standing beside him.

Because at home, he only wore a light-colored thin woolen sweater, and below it was a pair of gray home pants, all of which were very loose and soft, which made him look thin and slender.

Li Xi stared at him for a while, then sat down on the old sofa as if no one else was there.

"I heard from a friend that Dr. Liang encountered a little trouble today?" His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were sharp and sharp enough to almost see through.

Seeing him like this, something flashed in Liang Suici's mind, as if he suddenly understood something, a look similar to disbelief appeared on his face, and after a long while he said with difficulty, "So what you said that night... this means."

Pay the price, is that the price you say? Smear his reputation and make others think that he has destroyed other people's families.

The voice actually trembled a little, and Li Xi frowned when he heard his inexplicable words, "When you did these things yourself, didn't you think about this day?"

Liang Sui said goodbye and said goodbye.

Li Xi looked at him and suddenly smiled, "Before you, I really didn't expect a person to have such good acting skills, why do you always pretend like this, as if the whole world has wronged you. "

Liang Suici said angrily, "Have you said enough?"

Li Xi stood up from the sofa, casually tidied up his cuffs, and then stared at his pale face coldly, "Don't let me talk? I feel ashamed, then why didn't you feel ashamed when you did this? Woolen cloth?"

After he finished saying these words, the surroundings suddenly fell into a dead silence.

After a long while, Liang Suici spoke in a hoarse voice, "So you made a special trip here today to watch my jokes?"

Li Xi did not miss the embarrassment and pain in his eyes, his heart spasmed with uncontrollable pain, but when he spoke, his voice was unusually calm, "Maybe so."

He turned his head to meet Liang Suici's gaze and chuckled, "But is there anything wrong with that?"

"You know, I used to love you so much that I could even give my life for you. But you abandoned it and trampled it recklessly. Since you said that I was with me only for money, then I can give it to you this opportunity."

His eyes were so calm that it was almost cold, he fixedly looked at Liang Suici, and said, "How about being my lover?"

Liang Suici looked at him in disbelief and said hoarsely, "What did you say?"

"Be my lover, what's so hard to understand?" Li Xi took out the key from his pocket, bent over and pulled his hand hanging by his side, put the key in his hand, and raised his lips With a warm smile, "Be my lover for one year, in addition to this house, I will give you another 20 million, Dr. Liang, what do you think of the price?"

Liang Suici retracted his hand like an electric shock, and his face instantly turned pale.

There was a muffled sound when the key hit the floor, but Li Xi didn't care, "Don't be in a hurry to reject me, do you think it's hard for a person to be ruined and not get along in M ​​City?"

That's right, isn't today's event a warning to himself from this man? As long as he wanted to, in City M, wouldn't it be as easy to run over himself as an ant?

Liang Suici was stunned, "I can resign..."

Li Xi interrupted him, "Resign? You think it's that simple..."

He easily blocked Liang Suici's words, as if he knew what he was thinking.

For a long time, after a suffocating silence.

Liang Suici finally said, "A year?"

Oh, a year is actually worth 20 million, I am afraid that I will not be able to earn so much money in my whole life.

Li Xi glanced at him thoughtfully, "Otherwise, how much attraction do you think you have left for me..."

Liang Suici greeted his icy face, stunned for a moment, took a step back uncontrollably, his knees touched the edge of the bed, and his body softened and sat down.

"If that's the case, why are you doing this?"

From such a condescending angle, Li Xi could even see the blue-white blood vessels on the side of his neck. His skin was so white that it was almost transparent, with a thrilling coldness and fragility.

He ignored the pain in his heart that was as dense as needles, and looked at him word by word, "Because you owe me this."

——

It was pitch black downstairs with only a few lights. Li Xi took out the key and pressed the unlock button. The headlights of a black car not far away flashed twice. He walked over and opened the car door and got in, only to find Liang Suici. Still standing still.

He stood in the darkness, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, and after a while, he slowly walked towards this side.

When he opened the car door and sat in, Li Xi could even feel the cold air from outside, mixed with the fragrance of his usual shampoo, which filled his entire nostrils in an instant.

"Seat belt." Li Xi reminded.

Chu Yan turned sideways and fastened the seat belt, and then lowered his entire face into the scarf, as if he was afraid of the cold.

Li Xi glanced at him, "Turn on the heating."
