Evan Tong was still thinking about buying a coat, but Lucas Huo had already gone to pay the bill. Evan Tong quickly ran over and grabbed his wrist to stop him: "I'll do it."

Lucas Huo didn't argue with him. It was just a matter of a few dozen dollars, there was no need to do that.

However, Evan Tong took out his cell phone and found that it was out of battery. Lucas Huo asked him, "Why don't I come and you treat me next time?"

"I have cash here." Evan Tong, who hadn't spent cash in 800 years, took out his wallet. When he opened it, he found a photo of Lucas Huo in police uniform.

The photo was taken when Evan Tong won the "Best Police Officer's Family" award. The intellectual and gentle teacher Tong was holding a banner and standing next to the dignified police officer Huo, smiling like a spring breeze.

Evan Tong always thought this photo was a little funny. What era is it still about banners? He suddenly remembered that this banner had been hanging in his home since then. He forgot to take it with him when he moved out. Logically, it was also his property.

Evan Tong had forgotten about this photo a long time ago. When he first got the photo, he thought it was just the right size to put in his wallet, so he just put it in. After that, he seldom used cash and rarely opened his wallet. It was quite embarrassing to see it when he was paying.

It seems like he really still has feelings for her.

Lucas Huo stood behind him, looked at the photo and smiled, saying, "Looking back now, this photo still looks a little silly."

Evan Tong smiled and said, "Very good, you are handsome."

The main reason was that Evan Tong couldn’t say he wasn’t handsome because of that outfit.

The two walked out together, neither of them mentioning the photo again.

He went to get the X-rays and went back to see the doctor. The doctor took a look and finally concluded that it was nothing serious, just a migraine caused by excessive mental stress. He prescribed a bag of medicine, which made Evan Tong's headache even worse.

It was already dark when the two came out of the hospital. Evan Tong was still feeling unwell, and Lucas Huo did not ask him to eat outside. Instead, he carried a large bag of medicine for him and prepared to send him back.

"I..."

"Evan Tong?"

Evan Tong originally wanted to treat Lucas Huo to something to express his gratitude. He had been with him for the entire afternoon and he should repay the favor. However, before he could say anything, a devilish voice appeared.

Lucas Huo looked at Evan Tong's expression, as if he had encountered an evil ghost to take his life. He looked over in the direction of the sound and found that the person who got off the car on the side of the road was the "lecherous gentleman Sc*m" he met in the bar that day.

He glanced at Evan Tong, who was rolling his eyes.

"I just went to your school to look for you, and the guard said you were out." Fang Baicheng looked at Evan Tong nervously, "Are you okay?"

"...How do you know I'm here?" Evan Tong stepped back, afraid that this guy would come up to him.

"I asked the security guard to call your office and ask other teachers." Fang Baicheng said a little aggrievedly, "Your phone is turned off."

"out of battery."

"How are you now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" The more Evan Tong retreated, the closer Fang Baicheng came. "I'm sorry, I'm late."

"No, don't say that." Evan Tong had no way to retreat and bumped into Lucas Huo.

Lucas Huo put his arm around Evan Tong's waist, and the two looked at each other.

Only then did Fang Baicheng notice that there was a person standing next to Evan Tong, wearing a police uniform and with a cold expression on his face.

He remembered this man, Evan Tong's ex-husband.

Fang Baicheng's expression changed immediately, and he was no longer as flattering as before. He opened his mouth to say something, but was blocked by Lucas Huo's words.

Lucas Huo said: "What did you say you wanted to eat?"

He pinched Evan Tong's waist suggestively, and Evan Tong understood: "Hot pot."

"No, hotpot is not good." Lucas Huo directly ignored Fang Baicheng and turned around to block the two men, leaving his tall back to the man, and continued to say to Evan Tong, "Change someone else."

"Then barbecue, barbecue is fine too." Evan Tong said, "I haven't eaten Wang Ge's barbecue for a long time. I miss his pearl soup."

"The one next to my workplace?"

"Yeah, I haven't been there for two or three months."

The two chatted back and forth, and it really seemed like a real conversation. Lucas Huo saw an empty car coming by the roadside, so he pulled Evan Tong into the car and said, "Let's go another day. You're not feeling well today. Eat something light, be good."

Fang Baicheng stood there for a long time without saying anything, until he watched the two men leave and cursed angrily.

In the car, Evan Tong first rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance, and then laughed out loud.

"Thanks."

Lucas Huo was sitting next to him, and the two were very close. The driver made a sharp turn and threw Evan Tong into Lucas Huo's arms.

"That guy is quite enthusiastic."

"I can't stand it." Evan Tong said, "Too clingy."

Lucas Huo nodded and turned to the window thoughtfully.

The more Evan Tong thought about it, the more she felt that today's incident was embarrassing and awkward. After her divorce, she had to rely on her ex-husband to help her out when facing suitors. Teacher Tong felt very aggrieved.

"It would be nice if you had someone who could take good care of you," Lucas Huo said. "Otherwise, if anything happens to you, I'll always be worried."

Evan Tong frowned: "What's there to worry about? I'm already such a grown-up."

In the one and a half years that the two had known each other, Evan Tong had silently given Lucas Huo countless "nice guy cards" in her heart. He was always so graceful, which made Evan Tong wonder if this man didn't care about what she wanted at all.

"That person was chasing you just now, right?" Lucas Huo brought the topic back to this point. When he turned to look at Evan Tong, there was an ambiguous smile on his face.

"I don't know." Evan Tong said, "He didn't mention it, but he didn't stop talking about it."

"What about you? What do you think?"

"Not appropriate." Evan Tong's headache still didn't ease. He closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows hard. "I'm thinking about how to make him forget me tactfully."

Suddenly, a pair of hands gently embraced his head. Evan Tong was startled and opened his eyes. Lucas Huo said, "It's okay. Close your eyes and I'll rub them for you."

Lucas Huo skillfully massaged several acupuncture points on his head. Evan Tong didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he actually felt that his headache was relieved.

"Sometimes you can't always think about being a good person," Lucas Huo said to Evan Tong, "When you say no, be decisive. If you don't like someone, don't drag it out. Just act like you're asking for a divorce from me. Be simple and straightforward, and don't leave any room for negotiation."

Evan Tong didn't expect Lucas Huo to bring up this matter, and thought: It's not that I didn't leave you any wiggle room, I did, but you didn't want it.

But on second thought, if it was Lucas Huo who filed for divorce, he would probably not ask any questions and just nod and agree.

After all, we had agreed before the marriage that if we were not suitable for each other after one year, we would divorce unconditionally.

The two took a taxi to the outside of Evan Tong's residential area. As soon as they got out of the car, the cold wind rushed towards them.

It was cold and windy at night. Evan Tong loved to look good, so he wore a woolen coat in winter. He was so cold that he shrank his neck and buried his face in his scarf.

Lucas Huo deliberately turned to the other side to block the wind for Evan Tong.

Evan Tong was already feeling unwell, and after sitting in the car for a while, he felt like vomiting again. He suppressed his discomfort and said to Lucas Huo: "I may not be able to hold on today. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"It's okay. Why are you being so polite to me?" Lucas Huo said, carrying the bag. "Shall I take you upstairs?"

Evan Tong originally wanted to say no, but since they were already at the doorstep, it would be awkward not to invite the person in to sit down.

"Now that you're here, come up and sit for a while."

Lucas Huo was happy to go up. After Evan Tong moved out, he had no idea where the other person lived. He had previously thought that pursuing someone had to be gradual, and being impatient for success would easily scare the person away.

Fang Baicheng is a typical negative example.

But since Evan Tong had spoken, there was no need for him to be polite.

The two walked into the community, chatting casually.

"You must be very tired recently, right?" Lucas Huo said to him, "Don't focus on your students all the time. Take good care of yourself."

"That's what I said, but the countdown to the college entrance examination is coming, so I dare not relax at all."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that night when they met at the bar, and immediately felt that his words were not convincing at all.

Lucas Huo laughed at him: "If you don't know, you might think you are taking the college entrance examination."

Evan Tong smiled and wanted to say that she was not so nervous when she took the college entrance examination. She also wanted to say that her ex-husband really worried about a lot of things.

"Be obedient and don't take it lightly." Lucas Huo said, "There are red ginseng slices in the things my mother brought for you. Go back and take a good look at them. Eat one slice every day."

Evan Tong laughed and said to Lucas Huo: "Why do you look like you're going to take care of your baby?"

It's not like the two of them haven't joked around before. After all, they live together. No matter how good Evan Tong is at acting, he would occasionally show his true colors. He was a chatterbox. In Chu Yao's words, he could talk a lot. But when he talked to Lucas Huo this year, he had to be very careful not to make it too obvious.

Lucas Huo teased him: "If you are really pregnant, we must remarry immediately. I can't let you raise the child by yourself."

Evan Tong shut up and stopped talking. He licked his lips with red ears. He heard Lucas Huo's laughter and felt his face burning.

If he had been asked to evaluate Lucas Huo in the past, he could have summed it up in a few words: handsome, gentle, upright and serious.

But today, why does Lucas Huo seem to be acting so S3xy from time to time?

Evan Tong was confused.

He didn't say anything and touched his ring finger. The ring that was originally worn there had been taken off by him, but the trace of the ring was still there.

It has been almost half a month, and Evan Tong suspects that the marks from his abstinence will never disappear.

Evan Tong took Lucas Huo to the door of his house, took out the key, and opened the door: "I've been too busy recently, so I haven't cleaned the house yet. Don't mind."

He turned on the light and found a new pair of slippers for the other person. Evan Tong, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't bear it any longer, so he waved his hand and told him to do as he pleased, and rushed into the bathroom.

Evan Tong vomited a lot again, but after he was done, he felt much better. He rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and cleaned himself up before coming out.

When he returned to the living room, he found Lucas Huo sitting on the sofa, looking at something. When he approached, all the blood in his body rushed back - it was the gay disc he had brought back two days ago.

The final work of a European and American gay male star, a collector's edition.

"Do you like this type?" Lucas Huo looked at Evan Tong with a smile.

Evan Tong pursed her lips and bit her lip. When she looked at Lucas Huo, she found that he was smiling with some ill intentions. She thought to herself: What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm letting a wolf into the house?
