locked up with nemesis

One hour ago, Yong'an Park, a suburb of Xinghe City.

Qu Chu, who was wearing a black down jacket, stood in a quiet corner of the southwest corner of the cemetery. He looked down at the woman on the tombstone quietly, his fists clenched and loosened, loosened and tightened several times.

He didn't know what to say, he seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

About life, about life, about feelings... He didn't know how to speak at all.

Where to start?Qu Chu asked himself.

In the end, he just sighed softly, and decided not to say anything at all. Now he just wants to stay here quietly for a while.

At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang suddenly, breaking the quiet atmosphere.Qu Chu looked at Lai Xian, then at the vivid photo of his mother, feeling that he had betrayed her for no reason.

He frowned, looked down at the screen that was always on, hesitated for a while, and then hung up.

Later, the phone rang several times, and he pressed it every time. He was already in a bad mood, and his heart was even more messed up, like a ball of wool that was constantly being cut and messed up.If the bell rings too many times, he becomes irritable, so he simply shuts down the phone, and it's over.

Qu Chu stayed in the cemetery for nearly an hour, didn't do anything, didn't say anything, when he was about to leave, he was stunned.

He saw Xie Qianyu standing less than five or six steps away from him.

Qu Chu just froze in place, as if 502 had been wiped off the soles of his feet, he couldn't take a step no matter what.Then he saw Xie Qianyu on the opposite side smiling and walking towards him slowly.

Xie Qianyu stood in front of Qu Chu, first greeted Qu Chu's mother, then rubbed Qu Chu's face, and said with a smile, "Is it cold?"

Although the man's voice was clear, in this silent winter, it sounded very gentle to Qu Chu, as if his heart was being swept gently by a feather.

Qu Chu opened his mouth, paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

Because I didn't speak for more than an hour, the first time I spoke, my throat was a little sore, and my voice sounded a little soft.

Xie Qianyu pursed her lips and smiled: "If I don't come, wait for you to boil vinegar and drink alone?"

Qu Chu lowered his eyes uncomfortably, and defended himself in a low voice: "...I'm not jealous."

Xie Qianyu couldn't help laughing a few more times: "Baby, I really like your awkwardness."

Qu Chu looked at the other party with a look of "I don't know what you're talking about".

Xie Qianyu said sternly: "Baby, I think there is a misunderstanding about that agreement. You have reversed the cause and effect relationship. I signed such an agreement with you on purpose because I like you. I was really teasing you at the beginning. Well... well, I admit that I did have a little selfishness at the time."

Qu Chu: "?"

Xie Qianyu: "At the beginning, I thought that if you refused to go home with me, I would throw this agreement in front of you, and then tie you back home. Professor Qu is a cultural person, so he shouldn't Do you want to do that kind of non-acceptance?"

Qu Chu was speechless: "..."

Xie Qianyu explained: "So it's really not because of the signed agreement to force you to go home with me. If you were someone I didn't care about at all, I would bring you home because I was full and had nothing to do. Is it?"

He held Qu Chu's face, and said affectionately: "I say that, can you understand? I like you, Qu Chu, I like you very much, the kind that goes to the bottom of my heart."

Qu Chu looked at Xie Qianyu fixedly, with an indescribable brilliance in his eyes.

Xie Qianyu continued: "When I wanted to take you home on New Year's Eve, I really forgot that I could use that agreement to force you. Because my instinct told me that you would promise me. "

Qu Chu glanced at him, and said coolly, "Where does the confidence come from?"

Xie Qianyu laughed, and his clear and confident voice resounded throughout the cemetery: "Because you like me!"

Qu Chu's face darkened in an instant, and his mind buzzed, as if something he deliberately concealed had suddenly become known to the world. Like a cat that stepped on a switch, he immediately stepped back a few steps, The voice sounded extremely cold: "Don't talk nonsense."

Looking over from him, I happened to see a picture of my mother.

The feeling of betrayal exploded in his chest again, his chest heaved violently, and he said coldly again: "There is no such thing."

Xie Qianyu didn't know what was going on, when he saw Qu Chu looking towards his mother's widow, he remembered what Qu Chu had told him about his mother's almost paranoid dislike of love and marriage , and his mother spared no effort to force this kind of values ​​into Qu Chu's mind during her lifetime.

Xie Qianyu exploded all of a sudden, his patience with Qu Chu seems to have run out during this period of time.

He took a few steps towards Qu Chu, and with slight anger, he asked sharply, "Qu Chu, is it that difficult to admit that you like me?"

Xie Qianyu was used to being lazy, and when he scolded Qu Chu sharply, he actually felt a slight sense of oppression, but he still forced himself to look at the other party, gritted his teeth and said, "How do you ask me to admit something that has never happened before? "

"Oh," Xie Qianyu sneered, grabbed Qu Chu's arm, and made him look at his mother's photo, "Do you dare to tell him in front of your mother that you don't feel anything about me?"

"I dare to swear, I thank Qianyu, I like Qu Chu, I love Qu Chu, I only have him in my heart." He looked sideways at Qu Chu, "Do you dare to say that you don't like me, don't love me? "

"I..." Qu Chu looked at his mother's photo and was suddenly speechless.

What mother said before, and Xie Qianyu's urging that was still ringing in his ears were mixed together, Qu Chu felt that his chest was about to explode, and then without any warning, he suddenly hit Xie Qianyu's mouth with his fist go.

With Xie Qianyu's skill, no matter how unexpected Qu Chu was, he couldn't escape the punch, but knowing that Qu Chu was going to do it, he stood still and suffered the punch.

Qu Chu was also stunned.

He just wanted to vent, and he knew that with Xie Qianyu's ability, he could dodge the punch with just a slight tilt of his head, so he did this.

Otherwise, he would be reluctant to...

He stared blankly at Xie Qianyu, lowered his voice and said, "Xie Qianyu, don't force me." After saying this, he walked away without looking back.

Xie Qianyu stood there, thinking of Qu Chu's begging "Don't force me" just now, and thinking of his pleading eyes, his heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed by something.

It hurts.

He looked at Qu Chu's back and said in a low voice, "Chu'er, I'm sorry."

I was too impatient.

Knowing that you have psychological obstacles in this regard, but still forcing you, it is still in front of your mother's grave.

Xie Qianyu felt that he was an asshole.

**

In the next week, Qu Chu did not receive any contact from Xie Qianyu, text messages, WeChat, phone calls, nothing.It was as if this person had completely disappeared from his life.

Qu Chu suddenly understood what it meant to be "out of his mind". He was walking aimlessly in the school alone, and then he realized that it was already the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and students had come back from winter vacation one after another.

He suddenly felt a little lighter.

When you get busy, you can forget about some things.

When passing by the doge juice shop, I found that it was actually open.Probably because school is about to start, so the clerk came to clean up.He wanted to bypass it directly, but Jiang Jun stopped him.

He paused, turned on his toes, and entered the juice shop.

Jiang Jun found that there was something wrong with his expression, handed him a glass of juice, and asked, "What's wrong? You look like a ghost."

Qu Chu remained silent, gently stroking the wall of the cup with his slender fingers, and just when Jiang Jun thought he was having an in-depth communication with the cup, he suddenly asked, "Is there any wine?"

He raised his head, and Jiang Jun saw a flash of... sad feelings in his dark eyes, which had always been calm?He thought he was wrong, so he joked: "I won't give it to you, I'll get you drunk, old Xie should..."

"We had a quarrel," Qu Chu interrupted him and said calmly.

"...Huh?" Jiang Jun didn't react.

Qu Chu sneered slightly, and asked again: "Is there any wine?"

Jiang Jun was stunned for a while, sighed, and after closing the store door, he turned around and took out a bottle of white wine from the cabinet behind him, and took out two glasses, filled the wine and pushed one to Qu Chu. , became a confidant big brother, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"Tell me, what's the matter with you two. But I still think you framed me, thank you, baby, you are really the kind of baby who is afraid of melting in your hands, and you are willing to quarrel with you? Anyway, I don't believe it."

Qu Chu took a sip of the wine, and the liquor in his throat burned all the way to his stomach. He laughed at himself: "It's only half a year, how precious can it be? We...haven't contacted for a week."

Jiang Jun took a big gulp of wine and felt that his drinking capacity was getting worse. Why did he start to listen to it after just one sip?He was a little confused and asked, "What half a year?"

Qu Chu looked at Jiang Jun in bewilderment: "We've only been in touch for the past six months."

Jiang Jun was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly thought of being worthless for Xie Qianyu, and was almost laughed angrily: "Qu Chu, it's useless for you to study for so many years, and you're still a returnee doctor, a doctoral supervisor, and a professor at a university. , don’t even think about it, a person you haven’t seen for eight years reappears in front of you and suddenly stalks you, you actually think he’s only interested in you for the past six months?”

"The previous ten years were eaten by you?"

Qu Chu's head buzzed, the blood all over his body seemed to be on fire, and his breathing was a little unsteady, he asked, "What... do you mean?"

Jiang Jun was stunned: "You don't know that Lao Xie has actually liked you since high school, right?"
