implication

The air was stuffy, and the low air pressure woke up Lin Qu, who was covered by a cloth curtain.After waking up, Lin Qiu got up and supported his head, trying to rub his temples that were about to explode, but it was useless.He doesn't drink well, and he insists on using alcohol to drown his sorrows. When he wakes up, he only has regrets, and he feels like his head is about to crack when he shakes his head.

"Dong dong dong."

But at this time the door rang, and his temples twitched.

"Ning Fei?" Lin Qiu called out, but no one answered, he got out of bed and looked on the floor, there was no blanket spread out.Lin Chi rubbed his unconscious head, feeling something strange.Although Ning Fei is usually not there when he wakes up, the bedding is always spread out, and Ning Fei is in a hurry to buy soy milk for himself, but it is always too late to tidy up the bedding.

Today is strange, not to mention that the bed is not covered, I always feel that there is something missing in the room.What was missing, the head that had been ravaged by alcohol couldn't think of it for a while, only felt that the room looked empty today, and even my heart was empty.

"Dong dong dong."

The door is still ringing.

"Ning Fei?" Lin Chi thought it was Ning Fei who came back from buying soy milk, and wondered why he knocked on the door instead of coming in directly.The hungover Lin Qu staggered to the door and opened it, "Ning Fei, why are you..."

The words that came out came to an abrupt end when he saw the face in front of him.Lin Chen widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ze outside the door with a puzzled face, "Jiang Ze? Why are you here?"

Jiang Ze lifted the big bag of cat food on his shoulders, "I'm afraid you may oversleep and be late again."

It was Ning Fei who told him to come at this time.

Before Lin Quan, who was surprised and slow to react, turned to let him in, Jiang Ze consciously stepped sideways into the room.

Lin Chen turned around and watched Jiang Ze put down the cat food he was carrying on his shoulder, and asked him, "What is this for?"

"Ning Feihe..." Consciously slipping the tongue, Jiang Ze paused, hoping that the hangovered Lin Chi didn't pay attention, "I'm afraid there won't be enough cat food, so I brought a few bags over here."

"There's still some cat food." Lin Ke tilted his head to look at the latte with his face buried in the feeder, and then at the bags of cat food that Jiang Ze put down, "It doesn't need so much."

Jiang Ze squatted to watch the latte gobbled up, shook his head with the corners of his lips curled up, got up on his knees, clapped his hands and walked in front of Lin Ling, took out his pocket twice, "Here, hangover."

"Oh, thank you." Lin Chen politely took the hangover tea from Jiang Ze, and only remembered to ask after drinking half of it, "How do you know I'm drunk?"

Jiang Ze didn't answer the question, "I can't buy soymilk. There are too many people queuing up, and I went late."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ze couldn't help but wonder how much patience Ning Fei had with Lin Chi, who was actually so irritable and impatient as he usually stood in line to buy soymilk honestly among the grandparents.Looking up at the bewildered Lin Qiao, he saw the bicycle locked downstairs when he came, and it must have been specially bought for him by Ning Fei.

"Soy milk? Why do you buy soy milk?"

Jiang Ze sighed, suddenly felt that Ning Fei was in the same sympathy with him, forgot Ning Fei's repeated entrustment, and told Lin Chi bluntly, "Ning Fei is gone, and I want to help you take care of you."

"He's gone?" Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, the hangover tea in his hand fell to the ground, and the remaining half bottle gurgled and dripped all over the ground, seeping into the soles of Lin Qiao's feet.The soles of the feet were cold, and there was an indescribable chill in my heart, and I repeated the words dully, "He's gone?"

Jiang Ze couldn't keep his mouth shut, and he felt guilty when he saw Lin Qu's battered appearance in front of him. He knew he was not good at comforting, otherwise, why would Shui Xin always treat him coldly.So Jiang Ze looked at Lin Chen like this, twitched for a long time and left in a hurry, "Don't be late."

Lin Chen turned his back to the door that Jiang Ze forgot to close in a hurry. The room was too dark to turn on the lights, and the light outside the door slanted in.Lin Chen looked in the direction of the old wardrobe, and then realized that what was missing was Ning Fei's suitcase.He walked to the wall and looked down at the empty space silently.

It seemed to be raining, and it was stuffy, and the walls were getting damp and turning yellow, only that one place was still dry, square and square, in the shape of a sticker from a suitcase.

The alarm clock rang, Lin Qiu turned around and saw a pudding on the bedside table.He hurried over to pick up the pudding, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt a headache, clutching his head that was about to crack, always feeling like he was going to think of something, but he couldn't think of anything.The pain got better for a while, and he withdrew his hand covering his forehead, opened his eyes, and saw the porcelain doll that Ning Fei coaxed him out of the cabinet before.

Lin Chi picked up the porcelain doll and turned around quickly, "By the way, I forgot to ask you..."

There was no one else in the house except him and the cat.It was too late for Lin Chen to ask, Jiang Ze had already left.

The alarm clock kept ringing.Lin Chen picked up the alarm clock and put it in his pocket, hurried out the door, and went to work as usual.

Walking on the road, someone bumped his shoulder, and looked up to see that there was no familiar figure ahead.Still feeling empty in his heart, Lin Chen only thought it was because of his hangover.One distractedly stretched out his hand in the air, and touched the air without grabbing the sleeve that usually stretched back from the front.

Since when did you get used to looking at the back of Ning Fei's head?I can't remember it at the moment, but the first time seemed to be in the alley that made him afraid. He was entangled by Feng Lin that night, and he immediately thought of Ning Fei, who rushed over.

The palm of his hand was pierced because he couldn't help but clenched the porcelain doll in his hand tightly, and it was pierced by the braid of the porcelain doll's horns.Lin Chi looked down at the porcelain doll in his hand, feeling something was wrong.What's wrong, he can't see, can't see clearly.

He was absent-minded all day, pressed the tiger's mouth when planing wood, and cut his finger when engraving. The first time the masters told him to be careful, and the second time they accused and scolded, Lin Qiu didn't listen.

The world seemed to be silent, but he was still drunk.Otherwise, why didn't the masters make a sound when they opened their mouths?Hearing is not good, but the feeling is still there.The weather is dull, and the windowless studio is even more depressing.This terrible weather seemed to cover the sky with a quilt soaked in water. In a trance, Lin Quan could only hear Master Xu saying, "It seems that there will be a lot of rain."

After that, he couldn't hear anything.How many pieces of wood were damaged, how many barrels were burnt, and how many drawings were messed up?Lin Chen didn't know much about it, he only knew that the masters divided the work in his hands, leaving him with nothing to do but just sit quietly in a daze.

Until seeing the majesty, the silent world began to have sound again.

Lin Yue came out from behind Zhuang Yan and looked at him seriously, "Don't run away, let's have a serious talk."

Lin Chen didn't run away this time, and Ning Fei was gone, so what else did he have to run away from?

Solemn took them to sit down in the cafe in the mall.No one spoke while waiting for the coffee to arrive.The atmosphere was awkward, Lin Chi just sat there in a daze without vitality.

Majestic sat opposite Lin Can and looked at him, for a moment he couldn't connect Lin Can, who was smiling innocently and amiably when they first met, with the person in front of him.

The waiter couldn't bend down.Zhuang Yan helped take two glasses, a latte to Lin Yue who was sitting next to him, and a cup of cocoa to Lin Ling, taking the opportunity to speak first, "You don't seem to be looking very well."

Lin Chen's attention was attracted by the glass of latte diagonally opposite, he remembered that Ning Fei also liked to drink latte.I raised my eyelids to look at the person opposite, was it because of Lin Yue?Is it because of him that Ning Fei likes to drink latte?There was a nameless emotion and impulse in my heart, which was the same as the day when I pushed Shuixin into the water.

Here it comes again, this annoying emotion comes again.Lin Chen lowered his head, clenched his powerless hands on his knees into fists, and the porcelain doll in his hand was icy cold in his palm, which gave him a little calmness.

"Are you okay?" Lin Yue asked him carefully.

"It's okay." The indifference of the exit scared even himself, he quickly picked up the cocoa in front of him and took a sip, he shouldn't be like this.There are three things to do in my heart, and I put down the glass and calm down, "What are you always looking for me for?"

"You may have misunderstood some things. Ning Fei and I..." Lin Yue got stuck at this point, and Lin Quan's clenched fists were tense.

Zhuang Yan stretched out his hand and covered the back of Lin Yue's hand. Lin Yue nodded at him with a smile, calmed down a bit before slowly opening his mouth and said, "This was originally an agreement between me and Ning Fei. I promised him never to mention it to anyone. , it is because of this that there is a rift between me and Zhuang Yan."

"What did you agree with him?"

"Originally I promised him not to tell anyone else, let alone in front of you." Lin Yue lowered his head and sighed, "But this has become a knot in my heart, and I have no choice but to break the agreement with Ning Fei. In fact, Ning Fei has already Know my plan."

Lin Chi was a little puzzled, "He knows?"

"Yes, he knows. He knows that I use him to pretend to be crazy in front of his parents, but he said he is willing to cooperate. He is willing to have a bad reputation, to bear the reprimand of my parents, and to cover me and Zhuang Yan. thing."

"what's up?"

"Stay with him for a while."

"that is it?"

Lin Yue nodded, "Well, that's all."

"Then he..." Lin Qiu lowered his eyes, "Then he seems to really like it."

Lin Yue on the opposite side smiled, "Zhuang Yan thought the same way, and I was also a little confused. Because I used Ning Fei, I felt a little guilty, so I agreed to his request and stayed with him for a while, which is why Zhuang Yan misunderstood. gone."

Lin Quan glanced at the silent solemnity on the other side, and asked Lin Yue, "But why did you have to explain this matter in front of me?"

"Ning Fei made such a request, I thought he was a little moved by me. In fact, I was also very flustered," Lin Yue smiled. "Actually, if someone like Ning Fei pursued him actively, I guess my position is not so good. Be firm. Don't look at Ning Fei as an irritable and impatient person on the surface, but he really knows how to take care of others when he puts his heart into it."

Solemnly glanced at him, Lin Yue stopped laughing and became serious, wrapping his hands behind his back, "Ke Ningfei didn't do anything to me. Although I lived with him for a while, he didn't seem to have any plans for me. It's very strange, Ning Fei usually doesn’t talk to me, but he always calls my name, but he doesn’t answer when I answer. Lin Yue Lin Yue always calls me by my name all day long. He also likes to buy different kinds of food. When he came back with piles of snacks, the refrigerator was full of puddings, and there were boxes of chocolates, but he never saw him eat them. Once he brought back a cotton candy that looked like a big cloud, and he smiled and said to me when he walked in the door, look at this It looks like you. After laughing, I froze and entered the room without saying a word."

Lin Chen's heart beat twice, but he still didn't understand why Lin Yue told himself these things.I drank too much wine last night, and I couldn't turn my mind.

"I just stayed with him for a while, and I didn't mention that he moved out voluntarily. My parents finally accepted the matter between me and Zhuangyan, but Zhuangyan always cared about the days when I was with Ning Fei. I also explained it, but he I still can't believe that Ning Fei and I lived together so innocently."

"I can't help but think about it." Zhuang Yan interjected, "After all, you have been alone with him for so long. I heard rumors that Ning Fei was a flirt, so I don't believe that he didn't touch you."

"Look." Lin Yue shrugged, "Every time we talk about this, Zhuang Yan and I will definitely quarrel. I really don't know what Ning Fei thinks. After explaining honestly several times, Zhuang Yan just doesn't believe it. Fortunately, I Met you."

"Meet me? What happened to me?"

"Why don't you understand yet?"

Lin Chi became more and more confused, "What do you understand?"

"Oh, I've said it so clearly, you are really too slow."

"I..." Lin Chen looked down at the porcelain doll smiling at him with grievance.

"After I saw you and knew your name, I finally understood why Ning Fei made such a request to me. He used me as your substitute."

Lin Chi raised his head and looked at the person opposite, "What does this mean?"

Lin Yue shook his head and turned his face to look at Zhuang Yan, "He doesn't understand, do you understand? Are you still making trouble with me unreasonably?"

Solemnly grabbed Lin Yue's shoulders, "I blamed you wrongly. I actually asked you to agree to such a request."

In the eyes of lovers, one's sweetheart is unique, and to be the shadow of others is to be wronged.

"It's nothing. There was no relationship between me and Ning Fei, so Ning Fei doesn't care that I use him as a shield, and I don't care about being someone else's shadow in his eyes." After Lin Yue comforted Zhuang Yan, he continued to say to Lin Qi , "You still don't understand? It's just because my name is Lin Yue, which happens to have the same pronunciation as yours. That's why Ning Fei begged me to give him a dream. Pudding, chocolate, cotton candy, all he wanted to give you in his dream thing."

Only then did Lin Chen realize that he was not Lin Yue's substitute, but Lin Yue was Ning Fei's own substitute.He was confused, why would Ning Fei do this?Instead of going back to find himself, he was obviously waiting for Ning Fei to come back all these years, and he said he would come back.

"But why would he do that? Instead of coming back to me?"

"I think it's because..." Lin Yue's voice on the opposite side dropped, and Zhuang Yan helped him and continued, "That's because he didn't dare, didn't dare to go back and face you."

They all understand this feeling, and they can understand Ning Fei's mood when they parted the two places with longing.

"That's why he created a dream, pretending that you are there, and pretending that you are having a good life."

The coffee on the table was already cold, and the words that Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue said in unison still lingered in Lin Quan's ears, "But I still don't understand..."

It was too late to ask again, the coffee was not steaming, and the couple on the opposite side had already checked out and left.

Lin Chi patted his forehead, blaming himself for being slow, "Why am I so stupid? I still can't figure it out?"

Why on earth did Ning Fei do this?

He thought things were complicated, more difficult than math problems, like profound and profound philosophical problems, but in fact it was not difficult, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"Hello, is the coffee here ready?" The waiter came over and asked the puzzled Lin Qiao.

"That's right!" Lin Qian stood up abruptly, startling the waiter who came to ask him.He also ignored the waiter's polite inquiry, and said to himself, "I still have something I don't understand and ask Jiang Ze, maybe he can help me!"

After finishing speaking, he ran away quickly, leaving the waiter in the local area with a confused look on his face.
