Life of Heartaches Chapter 4

On the first day of the year, Shikawa woke up from the bed. Before he could open his eyes, he subconsciously reached out and touched the place next to him.

Sure enough, it was cold.

He frowned and rolled out of bed, pausing as he passed the cloakroom.

There was a neat figure standing in front of the floor-length mirror. Adrian slowly walked over and stopped behind the man. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Victor in the mirror as he tied his tie.

Victor obviously saw Adrian as well. He glanced sideways at him as a greeting, and then curled his lips slightly.

Adrian touched his nose with a guilty conscience. He knew that he had tormented him badly last night. Victor was being polite without scolding him, but jealousy was still secretly growing in his heart. His eyes fell on Victor. He is also becoming more and more unrestrained.

The person standing next to him had such a strong presence that Victor felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but he was too embarrassed to speak out, so he had to use his eyes to hint at Shikawa in an attempt to get him to restrain himself.

However, the latter was not moved at all, and even leaned carelessly on the chaise longue next to him, watching his wife change clothes with interest.

The meaningful gaze slid from bottom to top. Adrian's eyes first changed and then became abnormal, and finally lingered on Victor's thin waist surrounded by a belt.

His expression was serious. At first glance, he thought he was thinking about the leather, but in fact he was reminiscing about the two symmetrical shallow waists under the suit pants.

Victor glared at Adrian slightly from where he couldn't see him, turned sideways and tied his tie in another direction.

His slender fingers held the corner of the plain tie and flipped it up and down. The dark dark lines on his shirt made his face as white as jade. After finishing packing, Victor opened the drawer and was about to pick out a tie clip to put on when the next second he heard Adrian's somewhat unsatisfied voice in his ears.

"Are you busy again tonight?" Victor glanced at Adrian out of the corner of his eye. What does "again" mean?

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"Then why are you dressed so formally?"

Victor was stunned by his words and took a closer look at himself in the mirror.

The notched lapel collar is single-breasted, the sleeves are narrow and thin, and the tapered trouser legs are tightened downwards. The only thing on the body that can be called decoration is the tie clip that has not yet been put on. It's obviously the most common combination, but why did it become "official" here in Tokikawa?

Victor glanced at Adrian's long face, they had been a couple for a year after all, and he understood instantly.

The word "formal" was meant to be used lightly by Shikawa. Looking at him like that, I'm afraid that what he really wanted to say was the word "coquettish".

Victor didn't answer, and turned to the mirror to look at the coat to see if there were any tiny wrinkles that he hadn't noticed. He raised his hands and lowered his arms to bring out the flat and smooth lines of his shoulders.

Adrian watched intently, and didn't come back to his senses until the person in front of him turned around. Thinking of the infatuation he had inadvertently shown just now, he raised his hand to his mouth in embarrassment and coughed. What he was about to say reappeared in his mind.

"By the way, keep a distance from others from now on, and go to anyone who invites you to drink."

The last sentence was said with anger and resentment, "Those who don't know would think you haven't married yet."

This tone made Victor open his eyes slightly and glance at Adrian in surprise. Three seconds later, he couldn't help but sneered--"What do you think you know?"

Tokikawa had a full meal last night, so he automatically ignored the provocative behavior of the kitten showing its paws, and instead raised the corners of his mouth openly at the person in front of him.

Victor was stunned by his unclear smile.

The man across from him was naked from the waist up, with teeth marks on his left and right chests, and two clear mermaid lines that were dug into his loose pajamas. Facing Victor's gaze, he acted extremely calmly, even puffing up his chest proudly, and then crossed his legs to conceal it, blocking Victor's line of sight.

Memories of last night flooded into his mind. Victor's waist ached almost reflexively, and his earlobes were dyed a hint of crimson.

What a beast.

After saying what he wanted to say, Tokikawa lazily stood up from the chair and stood up to leave the room, but stopped again when he reached the door.

"Something was spilled in the house?" He wrinkled his nose, "Why does it smell like fish?"

Victor had a class this morning. He was in a hurry, but Adrian was still blocked at the gate. He could only take the initiative to swerve past him and reply casually: "Yes? Why didn't I smell it?" ? "

Adrian said nothing, standing there with his arms folded and looking thoughtfully at the direction in which Victor left.

He has been sensitive to smells since he was a child, but this time he walked around the house twice and couldn't find the source of the smell.

The aunt at home could not come to clean the house until this afternoon. In desperation, Tokikawa could only open all the windows in the room to ventilate the room. Fortunately, the smell dissipated after a while.

The windows are opened to capture the spring light, and the sunlight quietly climbs the window frames and diffuses into the house, bringing with it a little breeze and greenery.

Tokikawa stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself, with a subtle smile appearing in his eyes when he saw a few red scratches on his waist and abdomen. He looked in different directions several times, and suddenly noticed a flashing white light in the mirror.

Shikawa looked along the light and then noticed that the drawer behind him was not closed properly. He walked over and pushed it casually.

Then, as if he remembered something, Tokikawa Fu pulled the handle and pulled the drawer out.

There were two black velvet boxes placed side by side on the bottom floor. Tokikawa took out the one on the right and held it in his hand, then slowly opened the box.

A small platinum ring was embedded in the center of the velvet cloth, and the diamonds on it sparkled in the sunlight.

His eyes rose and fell a few times following the light reflected from the ring. Adrian's heart suddenly tightened, and he suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw this ring.

Back then, Adrian got married reluctantly, so the wedding was held in a hurry.

Although Shi's mother is enthusiastic about organizing the wedding, on the one hand, she is old and inevitably has some ill-considered things. On the other hand, Shikawa has made it clear that she wants to be the shopkeeper, so there is a problem that there is no one when the wedding is approaching. I remembered the embarrassing scene of preparing the ring.

Three days before the wedding, Adrian suddenly received a message from Victor, who asked him to meet at a teahouse. Victor thoughtfully chose the address downstairs of his company, but Adrian didn't appreciate his kindness at all, and it took him half an hour to walk the ten-minute walk.

Shikawa imagined that Victor might become angry because of this, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face, and his originally depressed mood inexplicably increased a bit. As a result, when the waiter led him to the private room, Tokawa's smile froze on his face, and he was completely dumbfounded.

There was absolutely no one inside.
