Handsome Friend 14

Chapter 14

As the elevator stopped on the third floor, about five or six people who were going upstairs came in. The space suddenly became crowded.

Li Shu moved closer when people came in, being closer Shen Yiyou, and helped Shen Yiyou to block others.

He turned his back to Shen Yiyou, with his hands hanging to his side. Shen Yiyou looked at the blue veins of his hands and arms and hid in the corner of the elevator.

When the elevator reached the fifth floor, three more people came in. It was even more crowded.

Li Shu moved back a little, giving up some of the position in front of Shen Yiyou, and he leaned over and looked down at Shen Yiyou.

The other boy in front of Shen Yiyou didn’t seem to notice that there was a person behind him, and he took a big step back. When he was going to nearly hit Shen Yiyou, Li Shu reached out and stopped him.

The boy turned back in surprise, Li Shu said to him, “I am sorry, but someone is behind you.” The boy apologized as well.

Shen Yiyou and Li Shu live on the highest floor, the people in the elevator left in twos and threes. In the end, they are the only ones left.

When the door was opened, Shen Yiyou wanted to wait for Li Shu to go first, but Li Shu helped him block the door again, so he had to move first.

They walked from the elevator to the room. After a few steps. Li Shu first spoke and asked Shen Yiyou: “How many days do you stay in the capital?”

“Leave tomorrow,” Shen Yiyou said to him, and hesitated again, “Are you in business trip too?”

“For some business,” Li Shu said, not telling Shen Yiyou what the business was like before. Looking over at Shen Yiyou, “You are so busy in August? can’t spare one week.”

Shen Yiyou nodded and said, “I can only count for three days,” then asked Li Shu a little helplessly: “Is it really not enough for one night?”

Li Shu walked a bit slower, as if thinking about it, then said, “Even if it is enough, you will be tired of going back and forth.”

“It’s okay,” Shen Yiyou whispered, “It won’t be very tired.”

Li Shu stopped talking.

Shen Yiyou focused his attention on the numbers on the doors. They are approaching his room. He took out the room card and held it tightly in his hand. At the right door, Shen Yiyou stopped: “My room is here.”

He turned to Li Shu and looked up. Li Shu glanced at him and set aside his eyes slightly.

Shen Yiyou was a little sad but did not show it. He asked Li Shu again: “When is it convenient for you?”

Li Shu lowered his eyes. After a few seconds, he said, “Only this weekend is free in August.”

“What about September?” Shen Yiyou asked.

He finally raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yiyou, telling straightly: “Don’t have time.”

“…” Shen Yiyou whispered, “How busy you are.”

This was not the first time Li Shu told Shen Yiyou that he was not available.

When Shen Yiyou asked Li Shu for the first time whether he would like to have a meal with his friends, Li Shu said that he was not available. He asked Li Shu if he could accompany him to the supermarket or go to the movie. Li Shu said it again.

Li Shu was always busy. When Shen Yiyou was holding Li Shu’s one hand at home, Li Shu had to use his other hand to reply to the mail. However, when they were together, he still made time to be with Shen Yiyou.

However, Shen Yiyou didn’t need it now.

“I’ll start the show in September,” Li Shu explained to Shen Yiyou, “I have a company to get listed.”

“I will return to San Francisco from City S this weekend,” he told Shen Yiyou, “if you want, you can go back with me.”

Two other hotel guests were coming over, Li Shu gave way to let them pass.

They waited for the guests going far. Li Shu said, “You may go in first. You don’t need to decide now.”

Shen Yiyou nodded to check the card and pushed the door a little bit. Then he turned back, wanting to say goodbye to Li Shu, but just met Li Shu’s eyes.

Li Shu looked intently and quietly into Shen Yiyou’s eyes.

The expression on his face was subtle. He was far away from Shen Yiyou. But somehow, Shen Yiyou confused Li Shu in front of him with the one when he first met.

Li Shu was in a pose showing I don’t want to leave and to be asked not to leave so that Shen Yiyou couldn’t look at Li Shu anymore.

He felt that Li Shu was like a swamp without borders. Shen Yiyou was a sacrifice, being tied tight to his hands and feet with heavy objects locked on his body.

As long as the swamp was still there, Shen Yiyou would sink continuously.

“I will go in.” Shen Yiyou ducked his head to avoid, saying very lightly.

He pushed the door in and didn’t look back. When the door was about to close, he heard Li Shu calling his name outside. Then the door closed the next second.

Shen Yiyou didn’t open the door immediately. He stood on the porch for a while. Li Shu didn’t knock on the door. He thought that Li Shu was gone so he put his hand on the doorknob and thought for a few seconds. He opened it a little and look around.

Then he saw Li Shu’s shoes, pants, T-shirt. Li Shu stood still.

“Shen Yiyou,” Li Shu said, “Can I come in?”

Shen Yiyou looked at him for a while, he opened the door a little more and let Li Shu come in.

Shen Yiyou let Li Shu sit on the chair near the desk and sit on the sofa by himself, not only feeling tortured and sad, but also a kind of sadness that should not be here.

He tried to divert some attention, so he picked a topic, “I just heard you said your company will go public, haven’t congratulated you.”

Li Shu looked at him quietly for some time, and said, “Thank you.”

Shen Shenyi paused for a few seconds, but couldn’t help asking Li Shu: “How did you meet her?”

Li Shu frowned, and asked, “Who?”

Shen Yiyou’s face warmed up a little, and he felt that it was a little embarrassing to inquire about Li Shu’s new relationship. So he shook his head and forgot about it, and asked Li Shu: “Have your house been on sale?”

Li Shu didn’t seem to hear Shen Yiyou’s question at all. He still looked at Shen Yiyou’s face. After a while, he said “Shen Yiyou”, as if talking to himself, “I have never seen you aster such a long time.”

Shen Yiyou said in a low voice, “Is it?”

Li Shu stood up.

He walked to the sofa where Shen Yiyou was sitting, and slowly touched the back of Shen Yiyou’s hand like a tentative test. He knelt down and stared at Shen Yiyou’s face.

“Shen Yiyou,” he said. He talked to Shen Yiyou in the way as if he were not in a new relationship at all and he still liked and needed Shen Yiyou. Li Shu acted like he didn’t want to leave, so Shen Yiyou was confused and panicked.

Shen Yiyou turned his face to the side, and Li Shu touched Shen Yiyou’s chin lightly, asking him to turn back.

“I brought you a gift for you on your birthday,” Li Shu told Shen Yiyou, and he seemed to complain about Shen Yiyou, saying, “I took the cake and flowers downstairs in your house, but you went out with friends.”

Shen Yiyou looked at Li Shu, remembering his bad birthday and that bad phone call, but he couldn’t tell what it was like. After a while, he asked, “Was it?”

Li Shu said “um”, while he grabbed Shen Yiyou’s right hand on his leg with the other hand, but Shen Yiyou didn’t push him away.

“Don’t do this again,” Li Shu asked Shen Yiyou in a very stubborn tone. “Well, don’t say things like accepting others which made me angry.”

For a few minutes, Shen Yiyou was really confused by Li Shu, as if the breakup and pain were fake, just Shen Yiyou unilaterally quarreled with Li Shu, and Li Shu was still coaxing him.

In fact, only three hours have passed since the rain that night.

Li Shu got closer after he took off his glasses to kiss Shen Yiyou. Shen Yiyou raised his hand to press his shoulder and turned away, but he couldn’t really refuse it.

Strategy to Capture Men 14

Chapter 14 World One: World One: the Stronger in the End-time World (11)

“How did you do it?” Ding Yao asked Han Yanyan.

Han Yanyan was puzzled.

“As we all know, after breaking through the limit, the power increases, which wasn’t a secret,” Ding said, “But not everyone can do it. The majority of people are exhausted before they touch the limit. They can’t use their powers at all. You can’t break the limit if you want to.”

Han Yanyan was shocked to understand that this was also arranged by “the electronic sound”. She said quietly, “I don’t know. I thought everyone could.”

Ding Yao did not ask again on this matter, only asked the effect.

Han Yanyan hesitated: “I feel it has improved, but the attack power…” The lethality was very weak, and the attack power was not enough.

“Do you want to get stronger?” asked Ding Yao.

“Yes.” Han Yanyan stared at his eyes.

Ding Yao lit a cigarette and looked at her and said, “Next time, you go out with me.”

The team was out on a regular basis to search for supplies. Sometimes the management committee would issue tasks. Like the first task, machine tools were what the management committee wanted. So that the team could get many goods from the management committee. Ding Yao was the leader of Nanling City’s strongest team, which was one of the three major forces in Nanling. The relationship between the team and the management committee was good, but it was very tense with the other forces.

That one force was the army.

The army, in fact, was not the army of the past. Actually, the council was a former government, and the army was a former garrison nearby. After the end of the age, the government maintained the city with its orthodoxy and influence, and the troops supported it.

But it was hard to live at the end of the world, and the hearts of the people were scattered gradually. The government also went through several infightings, and the winning party changed its name to the Nanling Management Committee, for short, the MC. By this time the army had  a different mind, purging itself and absorbing some later men. By then, the army had completely disobeyed the command of the management committee, but for the rise of Ding Yao, the army would have overturned the management committee and taken charge of its own affairs.

The Thunder Team had many great power owners, but the army had not only many soldiers but also hot-armed. And the majority were trained in the military, and they were well-matched. The MC was in the middle of mediation, and the three-party forces were so tripartite. So the Nanling city looked steady.

Ding Yao took Han Yanyan out with him, which was surprised the team members.

The battle between women ended in won by Han Yanyan. Han Yanyan still lived in the suite on the top floor, and that woman on the third floor finally gave up and succumbed to other men. Ding Yao’s subordinates knew that Ding Yao really liked Han Yanyan, but they didn’t expect Ding Yao to go out and take her with them.

It appeared infectious diseases in Nanling City, after Ding Yao and the MC bargaining agreement, he took people to find medicine. They had two goals, one for hospitals and another for local pharmaceutical companies that produce the drug.

Ding Yao gave Han Yanyan a knife and threw her into the hospital.

Both her hands were shaking as Han Yanyan emerged from the hospital alive. Ding Yao didn’t give a hand, Han Yanyan met a mutant zombie, and she was on her own to survive. Her eyes changed as she walked out of the hospital alive.

Ding Yao looked at such a Han Yanyan and smiled.

It was still the first time for Han Yanyan to see him smile like this. The man laughed and showed his white teeth, which was very good-looking but also terrible.

When they camped in a safe place, Ding Yao had sex with Han Yanyan, which was more intense than ever before. Han Yanyan felt that she had finally found a way to take Ding Yao down.

When Han Yanyan followed Ding Yao back to Nanling, Qi Tongtong felt that she had changed her personality.

Qi Tongtong advised her not to venture out. Even if Ding Yao followed her, but there always had dead. People only had one life, and accidents were too much to prevent.

Han Yanyan just smiled and asked her, “What kind of person is Ding Yao?”

Qi Tongtong looked at her as if she was a fool, “You asked me? You are his woman.”

“I don’t understand him thoroughly,” said Han Yanyan.

“If he could be understood thoroughly by you or me, he wouldn’t be Ding Yao.” Qi Tongtong said.

“There are hundreds of people in the whole team, all of them are powerful. Why can they all obey his orders? How many things have to be in it.”

If he hadn’t been there, it wouldn’t be the MC now in charge of Nanling. The commander of the army was a fierce-minded man, and if no one were to crush him, the entire Nanling would be half dead.”

“Han Yanyan, don’t you understand how powerful Ding Yao is?” Qi Tongtong stared at her.

This conversation ended with Qi Tongtong’s dreamy raving.

“If there’s a next life, I want to be a strong person like him,” she said.

Han Yanyan and Qi Tongtong were eating in the canteen of the base. They finished their talk and got up to go back. A person with hot soup rushed to them, Han Yanyan watched the person suddenly tilt forward, and the bowl of hot soup poured towards her. But Han Yanyan instinctively flashed, and the hot soup was about to splash on Qi Tongtong’s face, which was close behind her.

Qi Tongtong scared silly.

The soup finally hit her face, but she felt it was hard and cool. Then it fell to the ground and broke into pieces of ice. Qi Tongtong opened her mouth and turned to look at Han Yanyan.

Han Yanyan took a long breath.

“I’m sorry, my hands are slipping.” The person made a fake apology. “I heard you were a powerful person, but I didn’t think you were so skilled.”

She was a beautiful girl, who was failed to compete with Han Yanyan for Ding Yao. Qi Tongtong had a hot temper. She wanted to tear her. But Han Yanyan held her wrist.

“There’s a lot of things you didn’t expect.” Han Yanyan smiled.

The girl skimmed her lips and turned to fill the soup again.

Han Yan pulled Qi Tongtong out of the way. Qi Tongtong was angry and scolded Han Yanyan, “you let me go, let me go…” Before the words were finished, something flashed on the horizon and ran to the girl’s ankle.

The girl was carrying a bowl of soup when she was caught off guard and her arm poked into the barrel of the soup.

“Let’s go,” said Han Yanyan.

Qi Tongtong could not close her mouth.

“How, how can your abilities improve so fast!” She was shocked.

“The desire to survive can explode your abilities.” Ding Yao sat by the bed, “Certainly it is not for everyone. Most people can’t do it, they can’t explode, so ninety-nine percent are dead.”

“What about me?” Han Yanyan asked, “How do you know I can do it?”

“When you killed the man, I saw it.” Ding Yao kissed her neck, “When you first showed me your powers, it took more than a dozen seconds to make a ice ball. But then, to live, you were frozen in that man’s face in an instant. You freeze the ice on his arms, and that hardness is definitely not what you showed. At that time, you have already burst.

“So it is.” Han Yanyan suddenly realized.

Ding Yao moved up, while Han Yanyan was ups and downs, and her breath was messy.

“Ding Yao! Ding Yao!” Han Yanyan put his arm around her neck and lay on his shoulder to gasp, “Can I be as strong as you?”

Ding Yao stopped and looked at her. “Want to get stronger?”

“Yes!”

Ding Yao laughed and his chest shook.

“Do you know when you are the most attractive?” He grabbed her hair and pulled it back, and he bit her lip down, “it’s a time when your eyes are full of survival.”

It was a cold winter, in Nanling City, there were people starved to death, but Han Yanyan only remembered Ding Yao sweaty ferocious demand look.

Sexy to death.

In winter they did less work, and people spend most of their time hiding in buildings. Nanling city was in the south. There was no heating. But according to local people, the winter of this year was much colder than before, and they say that they have never seen such heavy snow in Nanling.

On the day of without going out, Ding Yao pulled Han Yanyan to the training room to practice her. Actually, it was the hotel’s living room, transformed into a gym by the members. There was no such thing as a treadmill, but there was a lot of regular mechanical exercise equipment. The point was someone teaching them how to use a knife.

The members of the Thunder had guns and ammunition. But under the condition of material shortage, people preferred the cold weapon of the knife. A person’s powers were limited, and physical struggles were necessary at many times. These members were people who were struggling with life and death, and they understood this better than anyone else.

Ding Yao personally trained Han Yanyan. On the training ground, he seemed to have enemies with her, and he was unkind. Han Yanyan fell on the ground exhausted with all over the pain, but Ding Yao’s indifferent eyesight could force her to get up.

That eyesight frightened Han Yanyan.

Clearly, this man was known to dote on her, who was infatuated with her body, and when she made some small luxury demands, he always lazily promised her, hardly let her down. But on the training ground, Han Yanyan dared not disobey him.

When he coldly ordered her to stand up, she struggled with pain to get up.

She later asked him if he had been in the army, but she got a negative answer.

“White-collar. Foreign trade,” he said.

Han Yanyan was surprised. Because Ding Yao had a different feeling of iron and blood from others. He could not be raised without training in the military camp or the front line for some years.

She couldn’t bring Dingyao and “white collar” together. It was like she made a persona for a character, but it’s written off, and the character’s words and behaviors were totally inconsistent with the persona given previously.

Qi Tongtong occasionally saw the blue and purple bruises left by her training, and said, “boss Ding is too cruel!”

Han Yanyan held a cup of hot milk made from milk powder that only a few people could drink. She blew away the heat of the milk and said, “I always think he’s like that If you fall behind, he will never wait for you. He will leave you far behind and let yourself live and die.”

Qi Tongtong silenced for a moment, said: “This is similar to what sister Ling said to me at the beginning.”

“At that time, several people liked me. Sister Ling advised me to find someone who was sincere to me.” She recalled, “ I’m always a plaything for Ding Yao, she said. In case of danger, Ding Yao will save his companion, but not his plaything. If I want to live a good life, it’s better to find a man with me in mind than Ding Yao. Maybe I won’t be left behind at the critical moment. Regrettably… I didn’t listen.”

She folded her hair, “I think when sister Ling said that it seemed that she was also afraid of Ding Yao. But who was not afraid of him? Everyone followed him just because they were afraid of him.”

Sister Ling was Lin Ling. She was the wife of Sun Lijun. At the end of the age, people were infected with the virus; the weakest people died; the weaker people became zombies; the better people were still ordinary people, and the lucky people gained power, or strong or weak. Sun Lijun, Lin Ling, this couple both acquired a strong ability, which can be said to be very lucky.

But in two of them, the man was a cure talent, and Lin Ling who used to be a housewife had a strong fighting power of the earth.

The Thunder were crowded and divided into several teams. Ding Yao personally led the first team, and Lin Ling was the captain of the second team. Not only because she was strong enough, but also because this couple followed Ding Yao very early.

When the most trusted people around Ding Yao talk about Ding Yao, they cannot help but with fear.

Han Yanyan felt that her fear to Ding Yao perhaps was normal.
