don't sacrifice

Looking at each other in twos, all eyes are full of astonishment.

It's him.Now that young man is in Yushu, as if he has entered the world, his temperament has already changed.But the eyebrows and eyes are still the same as before, still the appearance that touched his heartstrings back then.

Zhou Qichen coughed lightly, as if trying to cover up his gaffe.And Xiaobai also quickly turned his gaze to another place, and deliberately stopped looking at him.

"Brother Chen?" Bai Zhongli saw some doubts, but he still didn't understand why.He called Zhou Qichen lightly, trying to bring him back to his senses.

"Ah..." Zhou Qichen picked up the notebook on the table again, but maybe he was a little nervous, the notebook slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.He bent down and picked it up again.

"Are you the witnesses of this headless corpse case?" Zhou Qichen collected his thoughts and raised his head to ask.

Xiaobai still didn't look at him.

"Yes." Luo Shannian replied.

Zhou Qichen sized up the two of them with his eyes, and suddenly asked, "What's the relationship between you two?"

"Huh?" Although the question seemed a little strange, Su Nian still answered truthfully, "We are young."

Hearing that they were not a couple, Zhou Qichen was inexplicably relieved.

"The question is so detailed, could our relationship be related to this case?"

At this time, Xiaobai, who had not opened his mouth or looked at him, spoke anymore.He turned his head to Zhou Qichen, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his gaze pierced into Zhou Qichen's heart like a dagger.

"Be more specific, there will be no mistakes." Zhou Qichen panicked slightly, and lowered his head to look at his notes, "...you have already told Police Officer Bai what happened, right?"

"Yeah." Luo Shannian nodded.

"...Then, I don't have anything to ask." Zhou Qichen repeatedly read the notes made by Bai Zhongli several times, and had to admire his meticulous thinking and reasoning logic.The eyewitness notes were so detailed that it was difficult for him to ask questions.

"In that case, you can leave." Bai Zhongli saw that Zhou Qichen didn't speak anymore, thinking that he had nothing to ask.He also felt that it would not be appropriate to keep these two students here any longer, so he got up and wanted to send them out.

Could it be that they met in such a scene in a hurry and left in a blink of an eye?

"Wait a moment!"

It was Xiaobai's voice.Zhou Qichen raised his head, and saw the young man standing up from the chair, looking at him with black and white pupils, and said, "I still have something, I want to talk to Police Officer Zhou alone."

At this moment, Zhou Qichen looked up at him.In an instant, all kinds of thoughts floated in his mind, trying to figure out why Xiaobai said those words.

"……This?"

For a moment, the room fell silent.Luo Sunian looked at Xiaobai with a puzzled expression, and Bai Zhongli's eyes wandered between the two, and finally looked at Zhou Qichen with doubts.

"En." Zhou Qichen suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head and said to Bai Zhongli, "Then Zhongli, you should take this little girl out first."

Su Nian, who was still unhappy about being left behind by Xiao Bai, suddenly regained some energy when he heard that he was going out with Bai Zhongli.As early as in the questioning just now, she had developed a lot of interest in this clean and gentle police officer.At this moment, she calmed down, deliberately concealed her usual liveliness, lowered her head and smiled, and silently stood beside Bai Zhongli.

"...That's fine." Bai Zhongli looked at the two people in the room, nodded and agreed.He went out with Su Nian, and closed the door behind him with a "click".

At this moment, only Xiao Bai and Zhou Qichen were left in the room.

Zhou Qichen rubbed his sweaty palms. He was looking forward to the reunion so much, but when the person he had been thinking about stood in front of him, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Why did you get transferred to Maicheng?"

It was Xiaobai who spoke first.

"It was arranged at the police station."

After Zhou Qichen finished speaking, he asked again, "Are you accompanying your Fa Xiao to come to Maicheng to celebrate the New Year?"

"Are you so anxious to ask about our relationship just now, are you afraid that we are a couple?" Xiaobai asked with a chuckle.

Zhou Qichen remained silent.

"Then what would you do if we were really a couple?"

"...What can I do." Zhou Qichen raised his eyes, and there was a little helplessness in his eyes, "Didn't the way you looked at the beginning cut off my escape route?"

Xiao Bai looked at the person in front of him, hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes.The scene of the harmony between the two in Haojun's house yesterday appeared in his mind, and he also remembered the sadness of being alone in the world in the white snow.

"Didn't you tell everyone that you like me? Aren't you still trying to touch me here?" He slowly approached Zhou Qichen, his eyes gradually filled with water, "But why don't you try to win me over a little bit?" What? Even if it’s just a few more explanations, even if it’s just a little more shaking in front of me..."

"I..." Looking at his face close at hand, Zhou Qichen was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Then let me ask you, do you still like me now?"

Xiaobai interrupted him, and said what he had been wanting to ask.

They were so close now, exchanging each other's breaths.Zhou Qichen closed his eyes, touched his forehead, and their noses touched.

"I like you."

He closed his eyes, held Xiao Bai's face in his hands, and felt the familiar outline with his palms.

That sentence should have been said earlier.But now, it's just right.

"Very good." Xiaobai straightened up and exhaled, "I used to always look forward to your words, thinking that these words could give a real definition to our relationship. In this way, I will also have Have the courage to face the ignorance in your heart.”

"But who knew you left without saying a word. At that time, I thought, you can't even say that you like me, and you don't even know how to make up for my misunderstanding and ignoring you. This is that kind of liking." What?" He raised his face, not wanting to let the tears flow from his eyes.

"I'm sorry, you were too young at that time, and I... I was really the same kind of scum as Wei Haojun said. So, I didn't want to delay you." Zhou Qichen stood up and explained.

"Did you say that if you don't delay, you don't delay?" Xiaobai grabbed the corner of his clothes, almost growling with tears in his eyes, "Do you think you can leave my heart so easily?"

"Don't cry..." Zhou Qichen looked at his expression, his eyes were full of distress.Subconsciously, he cupped his face again with his hands, as if trying to catch his tears.

"It's okay, Zhou Qichen." Xiaobai raised his face, looked into his eyes, and said word by word, "If you have any concerns and feel that being with me is a delay to me, then I will do it instead. I'm here to love you, I'm here to chase you! I'm not afraid of delaying you, just delay your life like this!"

When he said this, he looked like a mature man, but also like a stubborn and coquettish child.Zhou Qichen immediately embraced him, "Are you willing to forgive me?"

"I never blamed you."

"Aren't you going to pursue the past?"

"I want me to get more from you than anyone else in the world. So what they got before, don't care."

"...Just being with me so easily?"

"It's deliberate. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I just realized it when I saw you today." Xiaobai got up from his arms, "To be honest, if I didn't meet you again this time, I probably wouldn't go looking for you either. Missing you like that and living with a void in my heart. But now, since it’s a reunion, I won’t let you leave again.”

Zhou Qichen deeply felt that the boy in front of him had really grown up.He is no longer the young and inarticulate child he was back then.He looked at him carefully as if looking at a treasure in the world.

"...What are you staring at so closely?"

Xiao Bai felt a little awkward being looked at by his affectionate eyes, his face turned red again, and he glanced to one side.

"I still blush." ​​Zhou Qichen poked his cheek with a smile, "Looking at it this way, he looks like the Xiaobai I was back then."

"I've always been, okay?" Xiao Baibai gave him a look, but still couldn't help laughing.

A tear of joy slid down her cheek and fell into the palm of her lover.

All the past and experiences have brewed the love fruit at this moment.
