Solitary

After two days of recuperation, Lin Shu finally got better, and He Jiqing quickly bought a plane ticket back to Nanjing.Along the way, Lin Shu fell asleep.He woke up a few times on the way and found that He Jiqing was always looking at him. He looked very unhappy.

For the last time, he couldn't help asking him, "what's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, you can continue to sleep." He Jiqing helped him tuck in the quilt.

"I'm sorry for always worrying you and making you sad," he said.

"Go to sleep, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"He Jiqing—"

"I told you to go to sleep soon, please stop talking nonsense!?!" He Jiqing became angry with Lin Shu for the first time.

Lin Shu closed her eyes, shrank into the blanket, and stopped talking.

A few minutes later, he heard He Jiqing's tired voice: "I'm sorry."

"I shouldn't be angry with you. It's my fault." He Jiqing regretted getting angry with Lin Shu. He didn't know how to explain the anger in his chest. Ever since he fell ill, the fire had been there, burning fiercely. Hurry up. He burned.

"Lin Shu, listen, you must tell me if you have anything to do in the future."

Lin Shu squeezed the blanket tightly.

"I'm not a superman. When I always make omissions, I also have selfish intentions. If you feel uncomfortable or have something to hide, you must tell me, and you can't hide it from me." After He Jiqing finished speaking, he felt that the fire in his chest was a little less, But it didn't die, it was still roasting him.

Lin Shu began to bite the back of his hand.

Fortunately, He Jiqing didn't continue talking. Lin Shu under the blanket bit the back of his hand until he felt his teeth penetrate the flesh.

After the plane landed in Nanjing, He Jiqing first took Lin Shu to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said that the problem was not serious and he should rest well.

When he left the hospital, Lin Shu answered a phone call from his roommate, telling him to go back to school quickly, saying that the department would investigate collectively at night.

He told He Jiqing that he was going back to school.

"You look like this, can you go back to school?" He Jiqing asked him.

"The doctor said it's not a big problem." Lin Shu looked at him carefully.

He Jiqing was stung by his eyes, his chest softened, and he didn't say anything.

"I'll get my luggage first," Lin Shu said.

"it is good."

Lin Shu followed He Jiqing back to Yanming Villa to pick up his luggage, and He Jiqing sent him back to school.Along the way, neither of them spoke.When he reached the school gate, He Jiqing said, "You take good care of yourself at school."

Lin Shu nodded.

"Wear more clothes, eat delicious food, and don't forget the medicine."

"Ah."

"I'm sorry." The two said almost in unison.

He Jiqing looked at Lin Shu, and Lin Shu also looked at him.

"I shouldn't have gotten angry at you on the plane. I was very angry. I knew you were uncomfortable and dragged you to Tibet. We should go back in Chengdu. I know you care about my feelings, but in fact There's no need for that." The fire in his chest finally subsided, and He Jiqing let out a long sigh.

"Me too, I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier when I'm not feeling well." Lin Shu lowered his head, and he found that he had no more tears.Probably, sorry for too many things.The body is exhausted.

"In the future, don't think about accommodating me. Tell me everything. It doesn't matter even if you quarrel." He Jiqing said.

He Jiqing's words, every word, every sentence, even every pause, was like a sharp sword, piercing his heart, cutting his blood vessels, piercing his flesh, and nailing his bones.He also nodded.

After untying the knot, He Jiqing felt much more relaxed. He hugged Lin Shu into his arms and kissed his forehead.Lin Shu raised her head, put her arms around his neck, and kissed his mouth.He kissed actively and forcefully, and He Jiqing responded positively.The two kissed to the point of forgetfulness, and Lin Shu even reached out to touch He Jiqing.

He Jiqing had no choice but to push him away: "Not today, not here!"

Lin Shu pounced on him again, kissing his mouth, his eyes, and his nose. He didn't know how to remember He Jiqing's kindness.

He Jiqing pressed the excited him: "Shall we continue when we are free?"

Lin Shu shook his head.

He Jiqing rubbed his head: "Good boy."

Lin Shu lay in his arms, not wanting to leave.

It wasn't until the traffic police came and reminded him not to stop that Lin Shu reluctantly let go of He Jiqing.

He Jiqing got out of the car and took his luggage for him: "I'm done with school work, remember to call me, I'll pick you up."

Lin Shu took the luggage and didn't speak.

He Jiqing wanted to rub his head, but he withdrew his hand when he saw the students coming in and out at the door.

Lin Shu ran into his arms regardless, and whispered in his ear, "He Jiqing, I love you."

Like an oath.Someone has already looked over curiously.He hugged He Jiqing even tighter.

He Jiqing leaned into his ear and said, "I love you too, Lin Shu."

Lin Shu thought that the tears that had dried up finally rolled down his eyes again.

The two eventually separated.Lin Shu was carrying the suitcase, standing by the side of the road, waving for him to go first.This has become a habit for the two of them.He Jiqing turned the front of the car and looked at Lin Shu in the rearview mirror, getting smaller and smaller until he turned and disappeared.He has started to miss it.

As soon as he returned to Yanming, He Jiqing couldn't help sending Lin Shu a WeChat message: "What are you doing?"

"The grade meeting." Lin Shu returned quickly.

"It's boring."

"Ah."

"Let's have dinner together tomorrow."

"Good~"

He Jiqing was in a good mood when he saw the word "good" sent by Lin Shu.

"Remember to copy photos and videos!" Lin Shu sent a WeChat reminder.

"Okay, I'll give you one."

He Jiqing immediately started sorting out the photos and videos he had taken. Halfway through the sorting, he received a call from Jiang Chang: "Come to Shanghai tomorrow!"

"No time."

"If you don't have time, you have to find time. Mr. Gu has taken a fancy to your book and wants to meet and chat with you." Jiang Chang said.

"Old Gu?" He Jiqing didn't react for a moment.

"You can figure it out, Mr. Gu is very interested in your book." Jiang Chang hung up the phone.

He Jiqing scratched his head and had to change the appointment with Lin Shu: "I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow, and we'll have dinner together the day after tomorrow."

Lin Shu replied, "I'll wait for you."

It was the third day after He Jiqing arrived in Shanghai that he realized something was wrong.Lin Shu did not reply to WeChat, and the first few calls showed that no one answered, and then it was indicated that the phone had been turned off.

At first, he didn't take it seriously, but after making dozens of phone calls in a row, he couldn't sit still. Regardless of Mr. Gu's presence, he left the meeting halfway and rushed back to Nanjing overnight.

He ran to Hehai only to find out that he didn't even know which building Lin Shu lived in.All he knew was that he was a senior student studying graphic design.He walked around the campus in the dark like a headless chicken, from the stadium to the cafeteria, then to the classrooms and library, he passed every dormitory building, he asked Many people, no one knew Lin Shu.

He wandered around Hehai all night until dawn before he asked someone to find a relationship and found Lin Shu's counselor.

The young female counselor said: "Lin Shu dropped out of school and went home."

He actually breathed a sigh of relief first, as long as he is fine.he thinks.

"Dropped? Why?" he asked the counselor.

"I don't know very well. He didn't say anything. Everything happened suddenly. Maybe something happened at home." The female counselor guessed.

His whole body, from head to toe, slowly turned into ice.

"Do you have his home contact information?" He didn't give up.

The female counselor looked embarrassed: "You know, this is the privacy of the students, it's not convenient for us—"

"I'm Lin Shu's boyfriend, no, love." He interrupted the counselor.

The female counselor covered her mouth, her round eyes were full of shock.

"Is this convenient?" He stared into her eyes.

The female counselor blushed, but she was still in a dilemma: "I'm afraid this is not very good. Lin Shu's mother is very conservative and has a bad temper."

"I would say that I am Lin Shu's friend." He Jiqing looked at her.

The female counselor looked around, but the other colleagues were not there.She gave He Jiqing and Lin Shu's mother the phone number, and told him, "You must not talk nonsense!"

When He Jiqing got the number, he immediately called and was told that the phone was turned off.He switched to another mobile phone for work, but it was still turned off.

The female counselor looked at the beautiful man in front of her who was said to be Lin Shu's lover, from hopeful to ashamed.She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

He quickly returned to normal and apologized to her calmly: "Excuse me."

She said no.

When the man left, he bowed politely to her, with an apologetic smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold.

After the man left, she took a long breath, took out her mobile phone and sent Lin Shu a WeChat message: "Someone really came to you, saying it was your lover, and I told you everything you asked me to say."

She thought for a while and added another: "He looks very sad."

Lin Shu didn't return.He didn't reply to the several messages she sent earlier.

"What the hell is this kid doing?!" She was faintly worried.

In Nanjing in March, the chill continues.

When He Jiqing came out of the teacher's office building, the cold wind in his face made his eyes hurt.He was walking on the campus of Hehai, looking at the students coming and going around him, some were happy, some were sad, most of them walked with their heads buried in expressionless faces.

The sky was gray.

He suddenly remembered a past event in college.

A boy in that class celebrated his birthday at a Sichuan restaurant near the school.He was just going in for dinner when he bumped into them.Gu Chunshui was also among them, as if he had done something bad, he invited him to join him while explaining the situation to him.Called a lot of wine.Everyone took turns to toast the birthday boy, and when it was his turn, Gu Chunshui stopped him: "Ji Qing doesn't drink, he can just use tea instead of wine."

Gu Chunshui had many inexplicable misunderstandings about him, including drinking.If someone else wants to replace wine with tea, they will definitely be booed.He is always the exception.

He drank tea all night, and most of the others were drunk.Gu Chunshui sat next to him, he drank the most, his body became weak, and he always poured on him.

He said, "Ji Qing, why are you so pretty!"

He said it over and over again, and when someone laughed at him, he stood up and asked everyone: "Isn't my Ji Qing not pretty?"

Gu Chunshui, who was drunk, talked a lot and became more courageous. He dared to point at him directly and said, "Send me back to school."

He did not refuse.

On the way back to school, Gu Chunshui stopped suddenly: "Can I hug you?"

He let him hug him, and he hooped him until his bones ached.His alcohol sprayed on his face: "He Jiqing, I like you, can you be my boyfriend?"

He looked at him, his eyes were not cloudy under the street lamp.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure, 1 sure." Gu Chunshui said.

He is back.Gu Chunshui liked him, and he knew it since freshman year.He doesn't hate Gu Chunshui, although he always misunderstands him self-righteously, but those misunderstandings are for his sake.He thought that Gu Chunshui would not say anything.

But Gu Chunshui said it.He watched him squatting on the side of the road, laughing until he burst into tears.He took the initiative to hug him, and Gu Chunshui kissed him.

Gu Chunshui said it, but denied it again.The next day, he apologized to him: "Last night I drank a drink, if I said something I shouldn't say or did something I shouldn't do, please don't take it to heart."

What has been said and what has been done can all be offset by the word "drunk".He didn't say anything.

Now he doesn't want to say anything, he doesn't want to do anything.Why Lin Shu dropped out of school suddenly, why he disappeared without a sound...it has nothing to do with him.

When He Jiqing returned to Shanghai, Elder Gu had already left.His assistant posted a long paragraph on Moments, mocking He Jiqing for playing big names and not being professional enough.

Jiang Chang chased after him and scolded him: "Do you know how much trouble you caused us by leaving without saying a word? Gu Laotangtang, a director as big as you, was let go of pigeons by you like this. You are really displeased this time." It's too good to be true!"

"Well, yes, it's really outrageous."

"You know it's still like this? If you have something urgent, you should at least say it before you leave. Even if you don't want to do it, it's okay to tell everyone in advance. It's too serious to leave us if you just leave. What you do is very unprofessional!"

Jiang Chang rarely got angry.He Jiqing listened to what he said, saw his distraught look, suddenly wanted to laugh, and then he really started laughing, the laughter grew louder and couldn't stop.He laughed until his lungs hurt, and he didn't want to stop.

His appearance was terrifying and frightened Jiang Chang.The two have worked together for many years, and Jiang Chang has never seen him smile like this, his face deformed when he smiled.

"what happened to you?"

"This kind of thing will only happen this time." He Jiqing laughed until he was out of breath.

"Then why are you laughing? What's so funny about this!" Jiang Chang couldn't understand.

"Laugh at yourself for being unprofessional, laugh at yourself for being too stupid." He Jiqing stopped slowly, his smile faded, and he looked a little scary.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble this time, and there will definitely be a second time in the future. I will explain it to Mr. Gu."

Jiang Chang had nothing to say, He Jiqing who came back from Nanjing was too abnormal, he guessed that it was related to Lin Shu, but he didn't dare to ask more.
