Life of Heartaches Chapter 1

At six o'clock in the evening, the red sun set in the west and moved slowly among the clouds.

It's time to get off work now, and the roads are crowded with cars. The sharp honking and noisy complaints come one after another, adding fire to everyone's heart out of thin air.

Tokikawa tugged on his seat belt, looked at his watch, and let out an irritated breath.

With the traffic jam, I don't know if I can get home before seven o'clock.

His fingers tapped regularly on the steering wheel, and the remaining sunlight shone through the half-opened car window, coating Tokikawa's face with a layer of golden light.

The dull sound of fish tails slapping against the plastic bag came from the back seat, and a faint fishy smell filled the air.

Shikawa turned around with a headache, frowned and glanced at the large bags of ingredients on the back seat, feeling more and more regretful about the decision he made in the afternoon.

There was a nanny at home who was responsible for cooking, and there was no need for Tokawa to do it himself. But in the morning, he suddenly remembered the squirrel mandarin fish dish that Victor mentioned two days ago.

Victor just mentioned it casually, but Adrian took it seriously, so he specially gave the nanny a day off this afternoon, checked the recipe, and planned to cook this dish for Victor himself.

It's just that Adrian is used to keeping his fingers dry. Adrian didn't expect that buying groceries would be so troublesome. He thought he could solve it in ten minutes, but it took him nearly an hour to pick and choose. When he came out of the supermarket, he was completely confused. Everyone is dizzy.

However, thinking of the possible expression on Victor's face when he returned home at night, Adrian curled up his lips and felt a little hidden expectation in his heart.

The ringtone of his cell phone suddenly rang at this moment, interrupting his thoughts.

Adrian pressed the connect button, and a strong voice soon sounded in the car: "Brother Shi, it's me, Yang Shu, where are you now?"

"What's going on in the car?"

Adrian sounded in a good mood, but the person on the other end did not answer immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, lowered his tone by half, and sounded a little cringe: "What, I...I seem to have seen it... ."

The car next to him suddenly made a deafening horn sound, cutting off the last two words of Yang Su's words.

Tokikawa was startled and impatiently said "tsk" into the microphone: "Can you speak louder?"

The fish also seemed to be frightened, and it shook its head and tail desperately in the plastic bag and made a final struggle. Yang Su heard the sound and asked curiously: "Brother, what's the sound over there?"

Tokikawa replied casually: "I bought a fish."

Yang Su couldn't think of what to say for a long time, because he really couldn't associate Adrian with buying vegetables and cooking.

There was a pause for several seconds, and Shikawa's voice became unhappy: "Are you okay? I'm hanging up the phone."

"No, no, no, no," Yang Shu quickly returned to business, raising his voice and repeating what he just said: "I think I saw my sister-in-law in the bar."

The hands on the steering wheel tightened instantly.

"Who? Are you sure?"

"OK," Yang Su thought for a moment, then added another piece of information: "There is someone sitting opposite him, who seems to be your ex-boyfriend."

"Say it again." Tokikawa's voice was surprisingly calm.

"The one named Leno," the other person thought he had forgotten, explained: "Brother Shi, do you still remember? Not long after you got married, he reluctantly went to find his sister-in-law once, but at that time... "

But Tokikawa didn't care at the time.

Not only did he not care, he even scolded Yang Su who called him specifically to tell him the news.

"Stop talking nonsense here. Where did you get your sister-in-law? If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here!"

The glass ornament next to him was swung to the ground with a deafening sound. Yang Su touched his nose and quickly retreated.

He knew that Tokikawa had to get married because he couldn't resist his parents, but he didn't expect that Tokikawa would feel so strongly about the marriage.

Every time you suffer, you gain wisdom, not to mention that Yang Shu is not a character who remembers eating but not fighting. So after this incident, he no longer dared to meddle in Adrian's housework. Occasionally, he would pretend to be unaware of any rumors he heard. Who could do more and make more mistakes?

But today he still called Tokikawa.

Needless to say the reason, anyone with eyes can see that his brother Shi is more and more interested in his wife day by day.

Not to mention rejecting all social activities, I heard that Tokikawa bought his sister-in-law an island for his birthday last year. Although the latter insisted that it was bought for tourism development, not only has the island not yet started construction, but even Tokikawa never invited anyone over once.

It is said that Shi's mother once wanted to go to the island to have a look, but Shikawa rejected her mercilessly, "There is nothing interesting to see. You have a house all over the country. Where can you go for fun?"

Fortunately, Victor couldn't bear it anymore and invited Shi's mother to stay for a few days.

And the night she came back, everyone in the circle of rich wives in City A knew one thing - Shikawa loved his wife very much.

At the banquet that day, Shi's mother first showed off the jade bracelet that Victor bought for her, which attracted all the good sisters to admire it. Then she didn't know what she thought of, covered her mouth and laughed.

"When he first got married, that boy was always embarrassed. Now he's fine. He's trapped by his wife!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at each other in confusion.

Who in City A doesn’t know that the only son of the Shi family got married unwillingly? I heard that Tokikawa had a cold face at the engagement party, so why did he change his mind now?

The guests obviously didn't believe it, and their faces were filled with expressions of willingness to hear the details. But it was Shi Mu who smiled knowingly, whetting everyone's appetite before explaining: "That brat of mine planted pine trees all over the island, built a pavilion, and made a couplet to hang on it. What do you think the couplet says? "

What is this all about? The rich ladies looked confused.

Shi's mother was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. She looked around smugly, and then opened her mouth and said, "Shi is traveling to the Jingting Pavilion, listening to the wind and sleeping in the pines."

"Oh --- it turns out they are the last names of two people," the guests sighed meaningfully: "I didn't see it, Tokikawa really inherited your romantic instincts."

"That's right," Shi Mu smiled slightly, and then blinked: "Besides, our Xiaozhou's favorite thing is the pine tree."

Yang Shu's mother was also present at the time, and when she came back, she learned all about it vividly. Yang Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He still remembered his brother's dead face when he first got married. At that time, everyone around him knew that the word "Victor" was a sensitive word for him, and he would tell anyone who mentioned it to him. Who is in a hurry.

How can someone change their appearance in just one year?

Yang Su had never been in love before and couldn't explain why. He could only attribute it to one reason--his sister-in-law was too powerful.

This incident caused quite a shock to many people, including Yang Su. Of course, he was not the only one who had such a big reaction to this incident.

Tokikawa heard about it later, and was so angry that he ignored his mother for a week.

"address?"

Yang Ze was still thinking about his brother's things wildly, and he didn't react for a while: "Huh?"

"Tell me the address of the bar," Shikawa's voice said word for word, as clear and cold as ice: "Just keep an eye on it, I'll go there now."

"Don't worry, brother, the bar is called 'Blue Star', it's the one on Changchun Road, Hui'an Street."

"knew."

The call was hung up neatly, and I put down my phone just in time for the traffic light to change from red to green. The traffic flow gradually relaxed, leaving a gap in front.

Tokikawa turned the steering wheel full, the engine roared, and the car headed towards the bar.

The red clouds faded away, and the gradually darkening twilight hovered overhead. The car sped forward, leaving the highway behind and retreating into the darkness. There was no expression on Tokawa's neat-lined face, and his cold brows and eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror.

The scenery on both sides continued to recede, gradually connecting into a colorful straight line, but Tokikawa's thoughts drifted to the past.

That Leno said he was his ex-boyfriend was actually inappropriate.

Tokikawa was just twenty years old when he recognized his S3xual orientation. In the same year, he met a mixed-race man named Leno. The latter fell in love with him at first sight and pursued him. Tokikawa was so shocked by his straightforward and bold confession that he agreed without thinking too much.

Leno was naturally overjoyed, but he didn't expect that the two broke up before they even held hands, and their relationship lasted only two weeks.

The reason is simple. Tokikawa received a photo sent anonymously.

In the photo, Leno is sitting on another person's lap, and the two are K!ssing intimately. Calculating the time, it happened to be the night when Leno and he confirmed their relationship.

He didn't have any big fluctuations, and broke up immediately and decisively. However, Leno was still a little reluctant to leave, and he chose to give up after finding that the attempt to stay was fruitless.

The two lost contact for many years, but they didn't expect that Leno would later find out about Tokawa's marriage and find Victor.

He doesn't know exactly what Leno and Victor said. Now Shikawa will regret it when he thinks about the B@st@ard he was. He thought that after being married for only a year, he still had a lot of time to make up for the mistakes he made at that time, but he didn't expect that this incident was destined to leave a thorn in his heart.

At another fork, while waiting for the red light for a few seconds, he thought of Victor, and felt a dull pain in his heart again.

When they first got married, Adrian simply looked down upon Victor. He was used to hypocrites, so in his eyes, he was just some kind of pretentious flower on the high mountain.

It wasn't until later that he discovered that there really were such people in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that Adrian has never seen Victor conflict with anyone, or even see him having violent mood swings. He seems to be living so peacefully in his own world. It's not so much that he doesn't want to speculate on other people's thoughts with malice, but it's more like he can't understand the dark side of other people's hearts at all.

Tokikawa certainly admired his stable mood, but it was precisely because of this that how could someone like Victor be Leno's opponent.

It happened that the lights turned from red to green at this time. Shikawa suppressed his anxious and panicky mood, gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator, breaking through the traffic around him and rushing out.

At seven o'clock sharp, Tokikawa finally arrived at the commercial street where the bar was located, but the nearby parking lot was already overcrowded. He turned off the car in the distance, and then slammed the car door with a gloomy face.

"Blue Star" is located in the middle of the bustling commercial street. In the evening, it is the lively time for various performances to take place, which seems to have ushered in a small climax.

At this moment, many waiters were working hard to attract customers on the long street, and in the bar diagonally opposite there was a beautiful young man wearing rabbit ears. The boy's eyes instantly lit up when he saw Adrian. He unbuttoned a few buttons on his chest, showed an ambiguous smile on his face, and moved closer to the man.

Tokikawa was striding toward the door of the bar when he bumped into a fragrant body.

The boy was smiling, his eyes and brows full of ambiguity, "Sir, come and sit in our store."

Tokikawa's cheek muscles were tense, his face was livid, and he clenched his cheeks tightly. He pushed the person aside mercilessly, not even bothering to give him another look, "Get out."

After solving the trouble, he took off his suit jacket and threw it over his shoulders. The dark tie on his chest was blown by the wind, which formed a sharp contrast with the various people around him who were wearing strange clothes.

The crowds were moving in a mighty way, and the night breeze was slightly cool, but Adrian felt a fire in his heart.

Finally arriving at the entrance of "Blue Star", the glass door of the bar was polished and the setting sun reflected on it was like burning. Tokikawa took a deep breath and pushed open the door. His chest muscles tightened his white shirt, making it look like an arcade.

The hustle and bustle rushed towards him like a mountain. The waiter wearing a small bow tie at the door came to greet him with a smile. He held a small tray and asked, "What would you like, sir?"

Adrian raised his dark eyes and said concisely: "Looking for someone."

The waiter's face changed color.

The key to playing here is a consensual relationship. Their bar has never interfered too much with this kind of thing, but this does not mean that they have no scruples. What they are afraid of is the kind of people who come to the bar to catch someone who is obviously going to ruin the place.

So the waiter immediately screamed and hurriedly twisted his waist to find the manager.

Tokikawa ignored him and walked deeper through the crowd. As he walked deeper, Tokikawa's frown deepened. The music lingered like a gossamer in the closed space, and a group of men and women became entangled together, and their movements gradually became bolder. Tokikawa took advantage of his height and looked around the bar, finally locking his eyes on the familiar figure at the booth at the end of the bar.

With a twitch between his eyebrows, he pushed through the crowd and walked towards Victor's position.

As the journey progresses from far to near, the lights change from bright to dark, as if a private space has been specially created for guests to chat and talk about love.

Tokikawa slowly approached the position of the two of them, deliberately walking lightly, and his tall figure crouched in the darkness.

There were three or two glasses of wine on a small table, with ice cubes slowly rippling inside, and lights swirling down from above, making this small space look particularly cramped.

The sound in the bar was not too quiet, and the lights were dim, so no one noticed that there was an additional figure in the corner.

Neither of the two people across from Felix Xiao spoke, and a brief silence filled the air.

However, this quiet moment did not last long. Leno suddenly straightened up, brushed the armrest of the seat with his fingertips, crossed his legs and asked nonchalantly to the other side: "When are you going to get divorced?"

Adrian was shocked. He bit his cheek and moved his lips but made no sound.

He stood behind Victor and couldn't see the expression on his face, but it felt as if someone had suddenly kicked him in the chest. The provocation on Leno's delicate face was clearly reflected in his eyes, and Shikawa couldn't help but wonder in his heart, had Victor been asked such a question before?

Since that time, Yang Shu never mentioned any news about Victor to him. It wasn't until the relationship between him and Victor eased a little in the past two years that things improved.

Somehow, he didn't step out immediately.

He wanted to hear Victor's answer, even if he already had the answer in his heart.

Hearing this question, Victor didn't say anything. He just lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The moment the bottom of the glass touched the table, his fingers on top of the wine glass were covered by another hand painted with black nail polish.

Rubbing his thumb ambiguously on Victor's slender joints, Leno approached him, his amber eyes narrowed, and he showed a charming smile, "When will you give me a chance to chase you?" "

Victor looked at him quietly and then smiled.

He decisively withdrew his hand, leaned back on his seat, and said calmly: "Never."

Tokikawa didn't move in the dark, because his brain shut down the moment Leno put his hand on it.

He stared at the exposed white back of Victor's neck with a stunned expression, his eyes as blank as if he had just met him.

Because just now, he just realized that he seemed to know nothing about Victor.

He has always been unwilling to waste time on meaningless people and things, so when he broke up with Leno, he just gave up a concise reason. Tokikawa thought that Leno might not be willing to give in, and the worst possibility was that he would vent his resentment on the innocent Victor.

It was because he was afraid that his wife would be wronged that he rushed over so anxiously. But what he never expected was that he would encounter such a scene after rushing over in a hurry.

So not only did Leno not think about revenge on Victor, but he actually fell in love with him?

What the hell is going on?

Shikawa's heart sank, as if he suddenly slipped from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley. Then, jealousy and anger continued to expand in his heart.

However, before he could say anything, he saw Leno push away his chair and stand up.

With long eyelashes trembling, Leno glanced at the mobile phone on the table casually, and then showed an apologetic smile in front of him: "The things you asked me to do are almost done, I have to go, I have something to do tonight, next time Goodbye."

Victor nodded, said "Okay", and then turned slightly to make way for him in the aisle.

Lenno stood up unsteadily. He had drank a lot tonight. The alcohol numbed his nerves and made him behave more and more freely.

When passing by Victor, he suddenly leaned down, and his beautiful face suddenly came very close to Victor.

Victor looked at his unconscious eyes, frowned almost inaudibly, and stepped back, and then his sleeves were suddenly pulled by someone - just a little bit, a K!ss that smelled of alcohol. It will fall on the side of his face.

Victor instinctively pushed him away, his eyes widened slightly, "You..."

Leno's lower back hit the table next door, and the wine glass vibrated with a crisp sound. There was also a same-S3x couple next to me. I thought they were flirting. Not only did I not care, but I whistled ambiguously and said, "K!ss me! K!ss me!"

Leno was really a little drunk. He muttered "Vous êtes adorable" and walked over randomly with his eyes closed.

There was a wall behind Victor, and he couldn't avoid it. He clenched his fingers into fists and tightened his waist. He was about to stand up to resist the drunken man, but the next second, his movements froze in place.

A tall figure emerged from the corner, grabbed Leno by the collar, and slammed him to the ground.

The couple next to them were startled by the sudden conflict, holding each other and letting out a piercing scream from their throats.

The hotel manager kept staring in this direction. When he saw this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, cursed and hurried over, with a stiff smile on his face: "Mr., let's talk carefully. Don't do it!"

There was no expression on Tokawa's face, and his eyeballs burst out with a few red bloodshot threads due to anger.

"It's hard to explain." He walked up to Lenno, who was lying on the ground moaning, and grabbed his throat with one hand: "You who dare to touch me are looking for death."

Leno is a well-known model. In addition to dieting, he usually loses weight. How can he defeat Tokikawa?

His slender fingers desperately waved in the air, trying to break Tokawa apart, but it was all in vain, and the big hand holding his throat did not move at all.

Tokikawa slowly squatted down and pressed his strong knees firmly against Leno's chest. The latter was even more out of breath and his face turned purple.

"From today on, you are not allowed to take a step closer to him." Tokikawa released his grip, grabbed Leno's hair and brought him up: "If I find you want to get close to him again, I will make you disappear from City A. "

Lenore was finally able to breathe. He clutched his throat in pain and gasped for air. The hotel manager quickly helped him up, and then both of them were stopped by a strong arm with his sleeves rolled up.

"Did you understand what I just said?"

Being stared at by sharp eyes like a falcon, Leno was so scared that his whole body trembled. His tongue, which was accustomed to speaking sweet words, seemed to have been deprived of its function. Only stiff nerves controlled him to nod his head desperately.

The manager helped Leno out of the bar with a forced smile, and everything finally calmed down a little.

Then Shikawa turned around and looked at Victor who was still sitting on the chair.

The author has something to say:

Vous êtes adorable: you are cute
