grief

Ouyang Liling hasn't come back since receiving Yuan Kun's call.

Qiao Yuxi intuitively felt that the call had something to do with Ye Qiyang, he was anxious to know the result, so he waited in the living room, hoping to see Ouyang Liling as soon as he came back.

After midnight, Ouyang Liling still didn't show up.Qiao Yuxi was so sleepy that she nestled into the sofa and took a light sleep.

While half asleep and half awake, there was finally movement, Qiao Yuxi quickly bounced off the sofa: "You are back."

Ouyang Liling stood at the door, stunned.

This scene is very familiar. In the past many late nights, when he returned home exhausted, he could always see Qiao Yuxi getting up from the sofa and smiling at him.

A warmth flowed through my heart.

Maybe it's really impossible to go back, or maybe Qiao Yuxi added more or less purpose to this supposedly pure waiting, but Ouyang Liling is still willing to believe that they just missed a period in each other's lives. It's just time.

"En." Ouyang Liling nodded slightly, with a smile on her lips.

"Why is it so late?" Qiao Yuxi looked at his watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

"Some things were not handled well, and some time was delayed."

"What's the matter?" Qiao Yuxi looked at Ouyang Liling expectantly, hoping to get the news he wanted from him.

"Yu Zhi, go to bed first. Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Ouyang Liling seemed to have no intention of explaining.

"It's about Ye Qiyang? Have you found him?" Qiao Yuxi pointed it out directly and asked her own question.

"..." Ouyang Liling smiled helplessly, "Yu Zhi, things have to be resolved step by step, now..."

"There's no need to be tricky, didn't you find it?" Qiao Yuxi was a little disappointed seeing Ouyang Liling concealing herself.

"Feather, actually, you can ask me, I am so busy now, am I tired, I haven't seen you outside, am I worried, I failed to meet your requirements, I don't know how to explain to you , will it be sad..."

"Have you said enough?" Qiao Yuxi gave him a cold look, then turned and walked towards the second floor.

He didn't know why Ouyang Liling suddenly had so many emotions, but now he has no way to think about Ouyang Liling's thoughts in another way, he can only think that his expectations have failed.

Ouyang Liling watched his figure disappear at the stairs, looked away, lay on the sofa, closed her eyes to hide the pain and loss in her eyes.

He doesn't want to reveal his vulnerability even if no one is there.

Returning to the room, Qiao Yuxi calmed down, unable to fall asleep for a long time, he knew that he had gone too far.

Ouyang Liling could have refused, there was no need for him to help himself and at the same time swallow his rudeness.Even if they were once friends, or even a further relationship...

Qiao Yuxi suddenly remembered the scene of being kissed by Ouyang Liling that day.

Although he was in a state of complete enlightenment that day, he remembered afterwards that the affection in Ouyang Liling's eyes at that time was definitely not fake, and that simple and direct confession was not something that anyone could easily say.Especially for someone like Ouyang Liling who always likes to use silence instead of answering, it should be difficult for him to say the word "love".

Is it...

He shook his head quickly and sat up on the bed.I must have been overwhelmed recently, that day was probably just an accident.

Look out the window, it's almost dawn.He couldn't sleep anyway, so he just got up and went to get some breakfast as an apology for last night.

When walking out of the room, Qiao Yuxi deliberately slowed down in order not to startle Ouyang Liling next door.When I came to the living room, I realized that Ouyang Liling had fallen asleep directly on the sofa.

The sleeping person seemed to be unsteady, with a long and tall body lying sideways on a sofa that was wide enough, but curled up, his arms hugging a pillow tightly, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if there was unresolved sorrow.

Is an insecure person.

Qiao Yuxi's heart trembled, he picked up the blanket that had fallen on the ground, and gently covered Ouyang Liling.Reaching forward, he stroked his brow slowly.

He didn't know why he did this, it was just a subconscious action.Such a scene is somewhat familiar, and it seems to have happened at a certain time.

"Feather last..."

Ouyang Liling made a sound suddenly, Qiao Yuxi was startled, and quickly withdrew her hand.But he saw that the person on the bed didn't move at all, only a few vague words escaped from his lips and teeth.Qiao Yuxi listened carefully, it was his own name.

"Feather last..."

While heaving a sigh of relief, Qiao Yuxi felt that inexplicable feeling again, it was the feeling when he saw Ouyang Liling for the first time in the private room, a familiar yet unfamiliar emotion.

Just as he was thinking, his body suddenly vacated, and when he came back to his senses, he was already lying on the sofa.

Ouyang Liling was smiling at him, unlike any sour smile in the past, it was a truly happy smile from the heart.

"Yu last, what are you thinking?" Ouyang Liling asked, and then kissed her.

Qiao Yuxi couldn't figure out the situation at all, and he let him kiss and unbutton his pajamas in a daze, feeling his body tremble under his touch.

The brain issued a warning to push him away, but the body was out of control and could not make any response.

The hand wandering on the body slowly moved down and reached into the pajama pants...

"do not want!"

Qiao Yuxi kicked hard, and Ouyang Liling rolled off the sofa.

After being stimulated by the pain, his blurred vision became clear, and Ouyang Liling, who was still in a dream just now, was fully awake, looking at the guarded Qiao Yuxi opposite, and secretly smiled wryly.

The current Qiao Yuxi was no longer his Qiao Yuxi, so why did he ridiculously treat it as just a few years ago, completely forgetting about the current situation.

Standing up slowly from the ground, Ouyang Liling reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips: "I'm sorry, I just..."

"It's okay, you just haven't woken up." Qiao Yuxi interrupted his explanation, tugged at the open pajamas, and ran upstairs quickly.

That's right, Ouyang Liling's appearance just now is clearly not awake, it must be like this.

Qiao Yuxi hypnotized himself, took out his clothes and changed quickly.

However, the touched part of the body is hot and uncomfortable.

"Feather last." Ouyang Liling knocked on the door outside.

Qiao Yuxi was taken aback: "Wh...what's the matter?"

"I need to talk to you about Ye Qiyang."

Forgot such an important thing, Qiao Yuxi calmed down and opened the door.

"Yu Zhi, the last time you saw Ye Qiyang was an accident, he will never come here again..."

"I can go to him."

"Things are not as simple as you think." Ouyang Liling patiently explained to him, "Even if he does appear here again, it is impossible for us to get close to him. If we go to the city where he is to inquire about him, we will probably get He is regarded as an enemy by the people around him. We really can't afford to provoke those people."

"Who are those people, people from the Feng family?" Qiao Yuxi suddenly remembered the man whose name he had forgotten, "Are they so scary? Could it be the underworld?"

"It would be easier if it was really the underworld." Ouyang Liling sighed softly, "They don't take the underworld seriously at all."

"I just want to find Ye Qiyang to do an operation for me, is it that difficult?" Qiao Yuxi really didn't understand why it was so complicated to just find someone.

"In the past, it might not have been difficult. But something... bad happened to Ye Qiyang. So now, there are people secretly protecting him at all times, and it is very difficult for strangers to get close to him."

"So, there's nothing you can do, can you?"

"Feather last..."

"It's okay, I don't blame you, I know you have tried your best." Qiao Yuxi stood up, "Thank you for your help these days, no matter what, I owe you a favor."

"Are you going to leave?" Although she had expected it a long time ago, she just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"I don't think I need to stay any longer."

"I can think of another way, although my ability is limited, but, I..."

"No need." Qiao Yuxi interrupted him, "I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back."

"Feather, are you happy these days?"

Qiao Yuxi clenched his fists: "Thank you, I am very happy."

"Then why go? Can't you stay by my side?"

"Ouyang Liling, you and I are not friends yet. The reason why I live here is very simple. Since you can't help me, what's the point of my staying here."

Inside and outside the words, the meaning is very clear.He came here only because Ouyang Liling was useful.

Qiao Yuxi knew that this hurt someone, but she still had to say it.Even if Ouyang Liling really told him today that he could lead him to find Ye Qiyang, he would definitely leave.What happened just now had too much impact on him, and he couldn't live as if nothing had happened.

"If I accompany you to search for the past and find a way to help you restore your memory, will you..." Ouyang Liling is making the last effort.

Once, he chose to let go, this time, he really didn't want to miss it again.

"Forget it." Qiao Yuxi waved her hand without looking back, "I still believe in myself."

There was no trace of nostalgia for the figure that disappeared at the door.

"Feather last..." Ouyang Liling murmured, and fell into the sofa slumped.

If the memory is lost, is the heart also lost?

Even if there are no traces of the past in love with each other, the past promise of life and death, can't they recall the affection hidden in the depths of the soul after nearly half a month of facing each other day and night?

"That..." Qiao Yuxi turned back again.

"Feather last..." Ouyang Liling's eyes were vivid.

"Can you ask someone to take me away?"

The hope that had just been ignited was extinguished in an instant, and the excitement in his eyes was replaced by sadness. Ouyang Liling nodded a little dullly: "Okay... I will see you off."

"No need, just find someone to give me a ride." Qiao Yuxi really didn't want to be alone with Ouyang Liling at this time.

Ouyang Liling smiled wryly: "Yu Zhi, don't you really want to see me?"

"No, you're thinking too much." Qiao Yuxi staggered Ouyang Liling's gaze, he didn't like this kind of heart-wrenching gaze, "I'm just not used to dealing with strangers."

"..." It turns out that after living together for so long, in your eyes, I am still just a stranger.
