Door crack

The sweet cohabitation life is carried out in lies.

Qiao Yiming said - I took a long vacation, and I will go back when you feel better.

Zeng Chen said——I'm ready, if you think it's too hard, you might as well resign, it's not bad for us to do other business together.

Qiao Yiming guessed that Zeng Chen should have noticed something, that's why he said such words to test himself, but he didn't have the guts to confess this to Zeng Chen. He could even imagine what Zeng Chen would show when he knew the truth. hurt expression.

I will definitely say things like dragging myself down again.

"Yiming? Why are you in a daze?" Zeng Chen held a big pumpkin firmly and placed it on the cutting board in front of Qiao Yiming, "Let me leave this to you. I tried it, and the cut was too ugly. "

"Okay, let's put it here." Surprised that he was lost in thought again, Qiao Yiming quickly turned his head, and successfully attacked before Zeng Chen could react, his soft lips were warm and had the fragrance of scented tea.

He was full of thoughts and didn't want Zeng Chen to find out that as early as three days ago, he received a message from an unfamiliar number, and he knew who it was without asking.

See you at the same place in the old factory area at eleven o'clock in the evening on the 24th.

It's tonight, there are still ten hours before the agreed time, what kind of excuse should I find to go out?Today is the first Christmas that the two have spent together.

Ordinarily, this age is not interested in these fancy foreign festivals, but the Christmas songs played everywhere make the whole city immersed in a lively atmosphere, and it doesn't hurt to join in the fun.

Qiao Yiming felt that the two of them were as ordinary as an old married couple together, and wondered if Zeng Chen would feel bored.Pumpkins, apples, turkey legs, bread with frosted wine, and a surprise, all of which were prepared three days ago, but on that day, receiving such a message was like a bucket of cold water being poured on the head.

He knew that Chi Lin did it on purpose.Every time I go out, I can feel the sight hidden in the dark. That bastard must have a strong resentment for living so comfortably.

The dinner was sumptuous and appropriate.Carefully cut the chicken into small bite-sized pieces and served it to Zeng Chen. Qiao Yiming raised his wine glass to touch the other's lightly.

After the slightly bitter sourness, there is a rich sweetness, just like their love with twists and turns.

"I remember watching a cartoon when I was a child. The scone escaped from the owner's basket and kept rolling and running. On the way, it met a rabbit."

"The scone met the rabbit?" Zeng Chen was obviously incredulous about such a character setting.

"Yes, the rabbit said, don't run away, there is a fox ahead, it will eat you. Scones didn't believe it, it thought the rabbit must want to eat him to say that, so it continued to run."

Putting down the knife and fork, Zeng Chen dragged his chin and listened carefully.

"Sure enough, I met a fox in front of me. The scones didn't want to pay attention, and ran past the fox." After taking another sip of the fruity wine, Qiao Yiming cleared his throat and continued, "The fox called the scones, asked Did it see a deceitful rabbit on the way here?"

"How did the fox know?" Zeng Chen asked curiously.

"Don't worry. The scone is also curious, so it stopped. The fox said that the rabbit likes to spread rumors the most. It will tell everyone it meets to be careful of the fox. In fact, there is no kinder person in this world than me. "

"and then?"

"Then scones believed it, because the fox's eyes were so sincere and helpless. Even if the rumor was spread, he didn't go to the starting point of the rumor to settle the score. It seems that the fox is really a good person. The scone said, Mr. Fox, you look very lonely, Do you need me to accompany you?"

"The fox said it was his honor?" Looking into the bright eyes of the other party, Zeng Chen quietly guessed the fox's answer.

Qiao Yiming was a little surprised that Zeng Chen's guess was exactly the same as the lines in his memory, "Yes, that's right, so scones felt pity and came to the fox. At the end, I trusted the fox wholeheartedly, and even allowed the fox to pick it up and run among the flowers. It didn't know that it had been cheated until its body was bitten by the fox and swallowed."

Zeng Chen's heart ached. He didn't know whether Qiao Yiming told this incredible story intentionally or unintentionally. He used to be so stubborn and accepted Lu Ting's pursuit regardless of his friends' persuasion. Bite, but also obsessively want to leave an afterimage in the opponent's heart.

Now that I think about it, why bother?

"Have the scones been eaten by the fox?"

"No." Qiao Yiming replied with a chuckle, "Because the rabbit was worried, he chased the scones all the way to the fox's house, and rescued the scones in time."

"Do scones and rabbits live happily ever after?"

"Haha, yes! I really doubt that you have seen this animation." Filling up the wine for Zeng Chen, Qiao Yiming did it first as a respect, "This story is not funny at all."

Zeng Chen nodded in agreement, his eyes became softer, the wine wet his lips, and he poured out ambiguous words, "It's not funny, but I like this ending."

The sharp ringtone of the mobile phone did not match the warm atmosphere at the moment. Qiao Yiming returned to the bedroom to answer the call impatiently, unaware that on the other side of the door, a pair of deep eyes stared deeply at his back, as if he had already seen everything.

After hanging up the phone and returning to the restaurant, Zeng Chen was sitting there carefully picking up the fishbone, as if he was taking the opportunity to practice the dexterity of his fingers.Qiao Yiming gave a wry smile full of apology, "I have to go back to work, the tension machine is broken, and they don't know what the problem is. I'm going to help, I may have to work overtime until late, and the table doesn't need to be cleared, just wait and see Go to bed with TV, don't wait for me."

"You are becoming more and more like an old lady." Zeng Chen gave Qiao Yiming a dissatisfied look, but the corners of his lips were raised, filled with a strong taste of happiness, "I will take care of myself, you go and come back, on the way careful."

Watching Qiao Yiming leave, the smile on his face collapsed in an instant. Is it such a tiring thing to pretend?Qiao Yiming must have worked as hard as himself.

Why not tell the truth?

In this era when people are already used to WeChat, the notification tone of ordinary text messages is very abrupt. After Qiao Yiming read that message, his whole person became not quite right.He tried to secretly check Qiao Yiming's mobile phone, but there were very few messages displayed, and the latest one was received half a year ago.

You deleted it on purpose, why did you delete it?Are you afraid of being seen by yourself?

The sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted Zeng Chen's thoughts, thinking that Qiao Yiming had forgotten to bring something and came back, but when the door opened, a gorgeous bouquet of red roses came into view, with a delicate flower in the bouquet. wooden box.

Looking at the stranger outside the door, Zeng Chen was a little dazed, "This..."

"Is this Mr. Zeng? This is a gift customized for you by your lover. Please sign for it."

The name was crookedly signed, Zeng Chen put away the gift and closed the door in embarrassment, and sat back at the table staring at the bouquet in a daze.

Lover... this term is so sweet.

When the wooden box was opened, an exquisite watch was presented, with the initials of the two men engraved on the inside of the metal strap.Zeng Chen carefully took out the watch, took off the old one and put on the new one.This is not just a replacement of personal items, but also represents a change of mood.

He never told Qiao Yiming that the watch was given by Lu Ting, maybe it should have been replaced long ago.

He buried his face in the crook of his arms to stop the tears from pouring out, and caressed the cold dial with his fingertips, and the warmth kept surging in his heart, "Yiming, can you be my Mr. Rabbit?"
