grief

Qiao Yuxi sat by the window in the restaurant, looking at the neon lights outside, with a calm face, but an indescribable loss in his heart.

He couldn't wait for Ran Luo, only received a text message, the short words "not going" shattered his expectation.

There is no explanation, not like Ran Luo's style at all.

Qiao Yuxi didn't bother to ask, and comforted herself that maybe Ran Luo had something to do with her.

It was late at night, and Qiao Yuxi was walking alone on the street, not wanting to go back so soon.

At this time, Ouyang Liling must be waiting in the room, just to say "good night" to him after he returns.

He couldn't understand Ouyang Liling now, or in other words, he had never understood it before. He just thought he understood everything in the past.He can't even tell what he wants. Facing Ouyang Liling, his firmness can always be easily destroyed.

He just walked aimlessly like this, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly found that the road in front of him was somewhat familiar.Before he knew it, he had arrived at his previous residence.

After leaving, I had a few phone calls with Geng Ye and found out that Yi Yan had been discharged from the hospital, but Lou Yi's condition was still unstable, and he would go crazy from time to time.

At this time, you should be asleep.Qiao Yuxi looked at the darkness in the distance, hesitated for a moment, but was still ready to leave.

"Feather last."

A sudden voice not far away made Qiao Yuxi's footsteps stagnate.

"Yi Yan, why are you outside?"

"Can't sleep, come out for a walk." Yi Yan stepped forward and helped Qiao Yuxi straighten his open windbreaker, "Why are you wearing so little, is it cold?"

Even in the dark night, Qiao Yuxi could still see the warm light on Yi Yan's face, he felt warm in his heart, and shook his head slightly.

Yi Yan held his hand, frowning instantly: "Hands are so cold, how could it not be cold. Let's go, let's go home."

Qiao Yuxi smiled and let Yi Yan hold him.

"Have a cup of tea to warm up first." Yi Yan handed Qiao Yuxi a cup of hot tea, and then took a blanket to wrap around him, "Yaxi, don't go out in so little clothes in the middle of the night again, it will freeze to death."

"Okay." Qiao Yuxi smiled, held the teacup in his hand, and took a sip, his originally depressed mood eased a lot, "Yi Yan, thank you."

"Feather, it's my responsibility to take care of you. I'm really useless. If I can be stronger, I won't let you..."

"Yi Yan, why do you say such a thing?"

"Feather, I know that what happened to Lou Yi has hit you hard, but I really don't want you to do something against your will." Yi Yan pulled the blanket and wrapped Qiao Yulast tighter, "Feather, come back."

"...Not now." Qiao Yuxi avoided Yi Yan's sight, "Many things are caused by me, and I should solve them."

"Feather, this is not your business alone. We have many solutions. Let's discuss it together, okay?"

Qiao Yuxi shook her head: "Yi Yan, you are actually right, in front of Ouyang Liling, we are all the same, not strong enough."

Qiao Yuxi once thought that they were equal to Ouyang Liling, but it was not. Ouyang Liling could easily crush them, while he

They can't do anything about it, that's the reality.

"Feather last..."

"Yi Yan, you have paid too much for me since I was a child. Now, let me do it alone." Qiao Yuxi stood up, "I only hope that you two can be well from now on, and don't do it again. Surprise."

"Feather, rather than letting some people get the punishment they deserve, rather than our own peace of mind, I hope you can live a simple and happy life. We all need you, come back, okay?"

"Ah ah ah..."

Before Qiao Yuxi could answer, a series of monosyllables went from far to near.Lou Yi blew over like a gust of wind, holding a pillow in his hand, and smashed hard at Yi Yan.

Qiao Yuxi was startled by the scene in front of him, and after he realized it, Yi Yan had already collapsed on the sofa, and Lou Yi was still committing violence.

"Lou... Lou Yi, what are you doing? Stop it, this is Yi Yan." Qiao Yuxi stepped forward and pulled Lou Yi away, grabbed the pillow in his hand, and threw it aside, "Lou Yi, look Look at me, I am..."

Lou Yi pushed him away, ran to the side shouting "Ahhh", picked up the thrown pillow, and hugged him tightly.The pattern on the pillow is Qiao Yuxie's head portrait.

Qiao Yuxi didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly helped Yi Yan up: "Yi Yan, are you alright?"

Yi Yan shook his head and smiled reassuringly: "It's okay, don't worry."

"Didn't Geng Ye say that his mood has stabilized? How could it be..." Qiao Yuxi looked at Lou Yi distressedly.

Lou Yi squatted on the ground, hugging the pillow in a daze, his eyes glazed over.

"There are good times and bad times." Yi Yan sighed, and then comforted, "Don't worry, Lou Yi will definitely get better."

"Lou Yi..." Qiao Yuxi slowly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "I am Yuxi, do you remember?"

"Ah..." Lou Yi hugged the pillow and hid back.

"Don't be afraid, I won't steal your things, I'm Yuxie, Yuxie, you must remember..."

"Ah, ah..." Lou Yi leaned closer to Qiao Yuxie and watched carefully. Suddenly, he stood up awkwardly and became emotional, "Ah..."

"Lou Yi..." Qiao Yuxi was about to grab Lou Yi's hand, but Yi Yan took a step ahead.

"Feather, Lou Yi's mood is unstable, he will hurt you." Yi Yan said while pressing Lou Yi hard, "Lou Yi, I beg you, don't make trouble anymore."

"What's wrong?" Geng Ye was woken up, and stood at the door of the room sleepily.

"Geng Ye, come and help."

"Oh, Lou Yi is making trouble again."

Geng Ye yawned and walked over slowly, his half-opened eyes were bloodshot.He hadn't slept well for several nights in a row, or since Lou Yi was discharged from the hospital, he hadn't had a good night's sleep.

Originally, he and Yi Yan planned to take turns guarding Lou Yi, but every time it was Yi Yan's turn, Lou Yi would go crazy for no reason.Helpless, Geng Ye can only watch most of the time.

This night, Lou Yi has been very quiet. After he fell asleep, Yi Yan watched over him and told Geng Ye to rest. Unexpectedly, there was another noise in the middle of the night.

Geng Ye was not angry, but the long-term lack of sleep made him exhausted and a little powerless.

"Lou Yi, my ancestor... ah... I'm begging you... ah... If you torture me to death, just..." Geng Ye pressed Lou Yi who had calmed down on the sofa, and leaned on him like a pillow , yawned continuously, and said a few words intermittently, his blurred vision met a familiar figure, he took a closer look, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Feather tree!"

"It's me." Qiao Yuxi stared at Lou Yi, he couldn't figure out what kind of life Lou Yi was living.

"Yu Zhi, when did you come?" Geng Ye stood up, his originally hazy eyes were stained with a layer of clear light.

"Not long ago." Qiao Yuxi still didn't leave Lou Yi's eyes, "How is Lou Yi?"

"It's okay, he's like this often." The light in Geng Ye's eyes faded, he was too tired and couldn't bear the impact of excitement.

"Geng Ye, go and rest, I'll take care of Lou Yi." Yi Yan couldn't bear to let Geng Ye stay up all night.

"No need." Geng Ye pushed Lou Yi, squeezed on the sofa, and barely lay down, "I'll just make do with the night here."

"Let me take care of him, both of you go to rest." Qiao Yuxi could see that it must be very hard for the two of them to take care of Lou Yi.

"No, you can't get him." Geng Ye jumped up from the sofa and fell down again, "Yu Zhi, I really don't have the energy to chat with you now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Yu Zhi, you go back to your room to rest first, I'll just stay here with Geng Ye."

Qiao Yuxi originally didn't intend to stay, but the current situation doesn't allow him to leave, but it's probably impossible for him to rest.

"Let's just make do with it in the living room." After saying that, Qiao Yuxie sat down on the opposite sofa.

He always thought that he had borne the heaviest thing, but now it seemed that he was still too selfish.It was obviously because of his own mistake that Lou Yi disappeared, which led to him becoming what he is now, yet he threw him to Yi Yan and Geng Ye.

Yi Yan said that they need themselves, is it true that this choice is really wrong?

It was late at night, and there was only the sound of breathing in the living room, and it seemed that everyone had fallen asleep.

Qiao Yuxi turned over lightly, and met a pair of eyes in the darkness.

Yi Yan didn't sleep, he kept staring at Qiao Yuxie quietly.There is really not much time to look at this person like this, and the chance to reveal your inner feelings without any scruples is even rarer.Sleeping opposite each other like this, although there is an insurmountable distance between them, it is already enough for him at this moment.

In the darkness, Qiao Yuxi couldn't clearly see the affection hidden in those eyes, but only vaguely felt that maybe he shouldn't look at each other.

After meeting eyes for a short time, Qiao Yuxi missed Yi Yan's gaze, and closed his eyes again, but his heart became more and more disturbed. He thought of Ouyang Liling, should he tell that person that he won't go back tonight.

Ouyang Liling stood on the balcony and looked into the distance. Under the night, as far as he could see, it was empty and there was no one there.

After Yuan Kun reported Qiao Yuxi's whereabouts to him, he came here.

The phone is set aside, within easy reach.

He is waiting.

Even if it's just a reluctant confession, it's better than disappearing quietly.

He couldn't wait.

It wasn't until Yuan Kun's figure appeared in sight that Ouyang Liling rubbed his sore eyes from a sleepless night and left the balcony.
