live happily ever after
Chapter 30
memory ⑨
Four years later.
In a huge office, everyone at the square table picked up their things and returned to their posts, leaving only the person in the main seat, who took a deep breath and sat down on the rickety sofa chair.
Qi Yixuan felt a sudden pain in his head.Pinch the bridge of the nose with two fingertips and gently rub the sore eyes.
It has been two months since Qi Yixuan returned to China, and on the second day after he landed, he followed Qi Zhao into the company, combed his hair and put on a tie, he already had the vigor of a young man and a high-ranking person.He has become a leader, and many things in the company need to be ruled out, rectified and managed.
Day by day, Qi Yixuan's spirit was tense and he couldn't bear it.
Fortunately, I can finally relax.I don't know how Qi's mother got the news. The company's affairs were finally finished. When it came to an end, Qi's mother asked the housekeeper to call and let him go home for dinner.
He had just woken up from an old dream when he received the call.
He dreamed of his escape at the top of the stairs four years ago, and dreamed of a pair of holding hands.The scene in the dream is not scary, but it always wakes Qi Yixuan up from the dream, his chest is so heavy that he can't breathe.
When he woke up, he thought of the tightly holding hands as if masochistic, the dull pain in his heart at that time still seemed to be still in front of his eyes, vividly.It made people have to look away.
"Okay." Qi Yixuan coughed lightly when he spoke in a hoarse voice. "You tell Madam, I'll go back tonight."
After returning to China, Qi Yixuan moved out of the Qi family mansion, and bought a small apartment by himself, it was not big, it was more than enough for one person, and it was just right for two people.
Qi Yixuan didn't deliberately arrange it, it was still the same as the original decoration, simple, clean and bright.
Qi Yixuan got up and closed the curtains to block out the afterglow of the evening, washed up and was ready to go home for dinner.
As soon as Qi Yixuan entered the door, Qi's mother went up to meet her, muttering that Qi Yixuan had lost weight and needed to be replenished, after seeing him, she turned and went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of chicken soup.
The son hasn't come home for two months and lives outside, which is more worrying than living abroad.
Qi Yixuan moved out for a reason.Outsiders all say that the eldest son of the Qi family is competitive and ambitious.After staying abroad for a few years, he was eager to return to China to take the top spot in the Qi family, and Qi Zhao also took advantage of the situation to retreat behind the scenes.However, the other two sons who have been active in the public eye have been stuck in school by their studies, and they have no official positions in the Qi family.
Qi Yixuan gave up on graduate school.He came back from abroad early, in the eyes of outsiders, Qi Yixuan didn't want to make room for those two half-brothers.
Qi Yixuan dominates the company, those two brothers will always be a head below him.
Those people were right and wrong.From childhood to adulthood, Qi Yixuan has always had a mentality of resistance and revenge.He didn't like his two younger brothers who came from outside, because he felt that they were the stain on himself and his mother in the Qi family, and they were the butt of jokes by other people's families.He is determined to succeed in winning honor for Qi's mother, so he wants to inherit the Qi family.
But until now, he realized that he was wrong.During the four years abroad, those two younger brothers would go to him occasionally, and would call him brother in a polite manner. His heart was melted into guilt and anxiety in these calls of brother.They are not wrong, what is wrong is that his own thoughts and desire for exclusiveness are too dark, and the complete family he imagined is too selfish. He could have been a gentle and kind brother.
My mother is not unhappy, she has been wronged, but she has gained happiness when the family of four gradually gets along. She and Qi Zhao will drink afternoon tea together, talk heart-to-heart, and travel around the world... It is also another kind of love to be in love for a long time.
It wasn't until Qi Yixuan fell in love with someone that he realized that it was all because of his wrong thinking, which was outrageously wrong.
Qi Yixuan and Qi Zhao had a quarrel in the dormitory room in the United States, and they moved out after returning to China.
Mother and son are connected, Qi's mother knows what is on his mind.
"You, you didn't call me after you finished your work, and you are still angry with your father?" Qi's mother spoke softly, and Qi Yixuan's heart was also very soft.
"No, didn't you just finish your work? I came back."
Mother Qi sat down beside Qi Yixuan. "Drink it while it's hot." A bowl of rich-flavored chicken soup was still steaming, and Qi Yixuan picked up the bowl, conveying the warmth from his fingertips, making his heart feel comfortable.
Qi Yixuan didn't stay at home that night, Qi Yixuan went back to his apartment after the family of five finished eating.
Qi Zhao still had a cold face towards him, unable to bear the somewhat depressing atmosphere, Qi Yixuan went back to the apartment early after eating, now that he lives alone, he seems to be much more free in many aspects.Probably because he was restrained too much in the past, Qi Yixuan was a little greedy to be alone.
Qi Yixuan didn't turn on the lights when he got home, only the moonlight came in from a large floor-to-ceiling window, Qi Yixuan was shrouded in a looming darkness, dotted with wisps of moonlight here and there.
Qi Yixuan lay on the sofa in his suit, didn't care if the clothes would be wrinkled, and fell asleep just like that.In the dream, the young man smiled as brightly as yesterday, and shyly pressed a kiss on his lips, rubbing gently and slowly, he felt that it was not enough, so he returned it with a deep kiss, back and forth, his heart was also filled, it was just a dream. It's beautiful here, but it's inevitable to wake up and be disappointed.
Occasionally he would still have a sweet dream, like the dream in the evening only when he misses it too much, it seems to remind him that the sweet dream is just a fantasy, and the truth is always cruel.
Qi Yixuan didn't sleep well, he was always half asleep and half awake.Woke up the next day groggy, and was urged by the assistant to go back to the company for a morning meeting, and there was a new client to meet.The driver is waiting downstairs.
While on the road, the assistant's phone came in from time to time, Qi Yixuan was annoyed by the urging, so he simply turned off the phone.When he turned his head to look out the window, a figure flashed by, but Qi Yixuan could recognize it at a glance.
It's too familiar to ignore.In the dream, in the heart, in the mind, it has been depicted thousands of times.
"Stop, stop!" Qi Yixuan almost ignored his image.Or the only thought in his mind is that he hasn't seen that person for too long.
I haven't seen each other since the winter vacation that I rushed back four years ago.
The person with the familiar back seemed to be walking slowly in front of him.After Qi Yixuan got off the car, he ran straight up and grabbed the man's hand.
As soon as the man turned his head, the familiar eyebrows and eyes came into view, which made Qi Yixuan couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Yixuan? You're back?" A smile floated on Shen Chen's mouth, and his eyes lit up again.
Obviously there are thousands of words to say, but Qi Yixuan can't say anything at this moment. Qi Yixuan opened his mouth slightly, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him, afraid that if he blinked, the person would disappear out of thin air.
"You didn't tell me when you came back." Chen Chen smiled slightly, and when he pulled the painful expression on the corner of his mouth, Qi Yixuan noticed the bruise on the corner of Shen Chen's mouth.
"what happened to you?"
Shen Chen shook his head, his eyes lowered.
Sure enough, I still can't hide things.
"He hit it? Did he bully you?"
"No, I was not careful, we just quarreled, so I came out for a walk."
Just as he was talking, the driver caught up with him from the car.When Shen Chen saw someone, he quickly withdrew his hand.Qi Yixuan's hand was empty, just this action, Qi Yixuan's heart seemed to be empty, Qi Yixuan was inexplicably angry, and said in a fit of anger.
"I'm not going today."
Qi Yixuan took him home.Shen Chen followed behind him, with his head lowered, a little embarrassed, like the first time he came to Qi Yixuan's house, he retreated when he saw the grandeur.
"Why do you live alone?"
"I'm used to being free abroad, but I'm not used to it when there are too many people back home." Qi Yixuan automatically ignored the point, and didn't say that it was because Qi Zhao discovered those paintings and the secrets hidden in them.
After that, he finally understood how Shen Chen felt when he secretly hid the note in high school.
Qi Yixuan took a deep look at Shen Chen.The key turns the gear and the apartment door opens.
Qi Yixuan changed his slippers, and squatted in front of the shoe cabinet to find new slippers for Shen Chen.Shen Chen looked around the house, there were single servings everywhere, half a glass of water in a transparent water glass on the table, and shirts hanging casually.It was full of traces of Qi Yixuan, compared to that time, he dared not look at it, dare not touch it.Now that Qi Yixuan lives alone in the apartment, Shen Chen couldn't help but look at it several times.
This is where Qi Yixuan lives alone now.
Shen Chen looked around, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Shen Chen pretended to be free and easy and joked. "It's good to live alone, and it will be convenient to bring a girlfriend home in the future."
Qi Yixuan stood up and paused when he handed out the slippers.
Speak suddenly. "I don't have a girlfriend!"
Qi Yixuan frowned, and there was even grievance and eagerness in his words, showing on his face, looking straight into Shen Chen's eyes, making Shen Chen not know how to react for a moment.
"I mean in the future..."
"No!" Without allowing Shen Chen to finish speaking, Qi Yixuan was determined and resolute.
Shen Chen shut his mouth knowingly.
Probably aware of his gaffe.Qi Yixuan directly unpacked the slippers and placed them at Shen Chen's feet.
"Have you had breakfast? I'll make something simple for you."
Shen Chen lowered his eyes following Qi Yixuan's movements, and seemed to see Qi Yixuan's reddish eyes.Maybe it was his own eyesight that made a mistake, Shen Chen changed his shoes and put on the new pair of slippers.
Sky blue and just the right size.Shen Chen likes it, the color of the sky.
On this day, Shen Chen followed Qi Yixuan in and out, went to the supermarket to prepare ingredients, entered the kitchen of Qi Yixuan's apartment for the first time, Shen Chen felt fresh, saw that the pots and pans in the kitchen looked like they were used, unexpectedly Qi Yixuan could cook.
Shen Chen made a few simple dishes, but he didn't know if they would suit Qi Yixuan's taste. The salty and light dishes were all made according to Lin Huasen's taste, and he was always disgusted.Shen Chen's cooking skills are not good, if he hadn't stayed at Qi Yixuan's house for a day, he would feel a little bit sorry, and never thought of doing something for Qi Yixuan.
Only cooking, he can do a little bit.When Qi Yixuan came to the table, he ate several home-cooked dishes with great relish. Seeing that he was eating in a hurry, Shen Chen thought that he had performed supernormally. He picked up chopsticks and tried it. The taste was average, and the chicken was a little salty.
Shen Chen frowned slightly, raised his head and met Qi Yixuan's eyes.
"Is it not delicious? I'm sorry, I just learned how to cook."
"No, it's delicious."
Shen Chen smiled. "Stop praising me, can I still taste it myself?"
Qi Yixuan lowered his head and looked at the discolored rice soaked in the soup.
"Do you cook for him every day?"
The topic changed unexpectedly.Shen Chen suppressed his smile.
"I thought you wouldn't want to talk about me."
"how come?"
Shen Chen remembered Qi Yixuan's obvious resistance back then when he turned his eyes away.
The fake show between him and Lin Huasen came true, not because of anger.It's just getting along day and night every day, and there is more or less dependence.Lin Huasen treated him better and better, and Shen Chen began to realize that the distance between the two of them was getting smaller and smaller. Many of Lin Huasen's actions crossed the line and he misunderstood him, like a ball of cotton that was not too big or small stuck in his heart. Shen Chen could feel its softness The kimono post is always dense and sparse, with densely packed small holes, making Shen Chen uneasy and uneasy.
He was afraid that he had misunderstood him, and he was also afraid that he would let him down.He is a person who is secretly in love with this wasteland, lonely and inferior.
Lin Huasen's company happened to be his support and shelter in exile.
At the farewell party for classmates who graduated from senior year, Shen Chen drank wine.Looking at the people walking in front of me, I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart.
"Do you like me?"
"It took so long to find out?"
Shen Chen woke up the next day with a dizzy head, as if he had been hit with a sap, and suddenly woke up when he saw the message coming in from his mobile phone.
"Boy friend."
It's Lin Huasen's remarks.
Shen Chen couldn't remember what happened last night, only that Lin Huasen kissed him in the end, and he shook his head to change the note on WeChat.Their relationship finally lived up to its name.Shen Chen held his mobile phone, looked at the note, buried his head in the quilt, and almost couldn't breathe from crying. He was walking alone on this road, and he only wanted someone, like him, to accompany him and walk down the road .
Shen Chen came out of the closet with his family and lived with Lin Huasen.
At that time, I was young and vigorous, and with my lonely courage, I didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, or I cut myself off.Chen Chen did this.
But with Lin Huasen for half a year.Shen Chen's life gradually deviated from the track.
Lin Huasen's company owed a loan shark.Shen Chen's life was burdened with heavy burdens.In addition to the usual internship work, I also found a part-time job outside at night.Not only that, Lin Huasen's temperament has also changed, he often goes crazy after drinking at night, and Shen Chen is the only victim.
Today Shen Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore.After not sleeping all night, Shen Chen ran out of the house and ran into Qi Yixuan.
"Thank you, you are still willing to be my friend." Shen Chen seemed to smile wryly, his eyes slightly lowered, the food in his throat was so salty that it felt astringent.
"Xiaochen..."
"Ok?"
Qi Yixuan hesitated to speak, then smiled instead. "Let's watch a movie together after dinner."
memories⑩
After dinner, Qi Yixuan washed the dishes.He suddenly received a call from his assistant and went back to the company. The movie watching failed to materialize. Qi Yixuan was worried that Shen Chen would send a message and left just like that, or just went back without saying a word. He felt like sitting on pins and needles in the company. He was distracted and didn't say a word. After listening, Qi Yixuan rushed back after the temporary emergency meeting ended hastily.When he came back, he found that Shen Chen had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
In the living room, only a desk lamp on the cabinet was turned on, and the dim light just shrouded the sleeping person.It makes for a quiet and beautiful scene.
Qi Yixuan closed the door carefully, and paused in front of the door for a while, but his eyes were always on the sleeping person. This scene seemed to have been imagined a million times. He also wanted to have a home with Chen Chen. personal life.Whenever he came home late, someone would leave a lamp for him, waiting for him to come back, making him feel like he was cared for, that his apartment was a home.
But Qi Yixuan had to admit that Shen Chen already had someone else, and he would wait for someone to return with sweet thoughts every night, but that person was not him.
If he had grabbed Shen Chen's hand earlier and put his desire to kiss into action earlier, he would not have missed it in vain.
Thinking of this, Qi Yixuan felt sore in his heart, and he didn't dare to take a step closer, even if it was an illusion, he wanted to delay the moment of disillusionment.
It was Shen Chen who woke up first, and only after he blinked could he see clearly the person standing in front of him.
"Sorry, I fell asleep."
"I just came back."
Shen Chen's eyes were sleepy, half of his face was reddened by the sofa, this appearance made Qi Yixuan's heart soften, he remembered when Shen Chen dozed off during lunch break in high school.The sunshine was behind Qi Yixuan, and the beautiful sleeping face was right in front of his eyes, and in his future dreams, he couldn't get rid of it.
The dark monopoly that had just emerged in my heart disappeared.
This person is now in his home, how can he keep him by his side?
"Today is too late, stay here."
Shen Chen was stunned. "Then... I want to take a bath."
Qi Yixuan didn't expect to get Shen Chen's nod so easily, he breathed a sigh of relief, and found a set of clean clothes for him in the room.
Shen Chen raised his head, closed his eyes, let the hot water from the shower splash on his face, his tense and tired heart relaxed in the steaming heat.
As expected, he still had no resistance to Qi Yixuan!Shen Chen laughed at himself.He stayed here for a day. He had many opportunities to leave, but he still stayed so late that he was reluctant to leave.
I can't explain my contradictory heart. I used to get closer and closer to Lin Huasen because of escaping, but now it seems to have turned around and returned to the original point. He was fed up with Lin Huasen's fists and pressure, so he had nowhere to hide and fled to Qi Yixuan Here it comes.
After all, he's a coward who doesn't like what he does.
Fortunately, Qi Yixuan regarded him as a friend and was able to take him in.
Shen Chen came out wearing Qi Yixuan's pajamas, Qi Yixuan was tall, and the pajamas on Shen Chen's body were too big.Moreover, the top button on the chest was missing, which was originally loose and loose. When Shen Chen walked out, the towel fell off, and when he bent over to pick it up, a lot of spring light was released. His skin was reddish and flat due to the heat. Her chest is easily reminiscent of the cherry red two points in the two weeks, which is half-covered and half-covered to attract people's daydream.
Qi Yixuan stood on the spot and suddenly became at a loss, his eyes couldn't move away from Shen Chen's body, his throat was tight, he hurriedly turned his head to the side, and picked up the pajamas on the bed.
"You rest first, I'll go wash." Before Shen Chen could say anything, Qi Yixuan ran into the bathroom.
After closing the door and leaning against the door, Qi Yixuan looked down at the tent propped up under him, and smiled silently.Ever since she understood her own intentions until now, she has never felt her desire for Shen Chen so intuitively.
He wants it!
Want to be with this person.
Qi Yixuan stayed in the bathroom for a long time, Shen Chen sat on the bed, thought about the wording of sleeping on the sofa overnight, stretched his neck and waited for Qi Yixuan to come out of the bathroom.When Qi Yixuan came out, the nervousness and cramps in Shen Chen's heart had almost calmed down.
Qi Yixuan's face was a little red, and it was probably hot.Shen Chen didn't think too much, and said the lines he thought of in one mouthful.
Qi Yixuan's eyes were full of water. "No, my bed is big enough, let's sleep together."
"is this okay?"
"It's okay, it's just right for us to have one side." Qi Yixuan didn't wait for Shen Chen to agree, and began to bend over to pack the quilt. Qi Yixuan's bed was a double bed, so there was more than enough room for one person to have one side.Qi Yixuan guessed that Shen Chen would not refuse, and there was no reason to refuse. He said that he ran out after arguing with that person, but after a whole day, that person didn't even make a phone call.
It was probably smoked by the heat from Qi Yixuan's body, Shen Chen's head was covered, and he really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he reluctantly agreed.
Qi Yixuan raised the corners of his mouth quietly, looked up and saw Shen Chen's wet hair, water was still dripping from the end of his hair, and the water droplets left spots on the pajamas.
Qi Yixuan grabbed Shen Chen's head, his fingertips were covered with water drops.
"I'll blow your hair for you."
The hair dryer whistled beside Shen Chen's ear.Shen Chen closed his eyes, memories are always like this, pervasively sneaking in every similar scene, eroding people's reason, and inflicting a dull pain on the heart.
If he didn't know that Qi Yixuan was innocent and only regarded him as a friend, Shen Chen would even think that Qi Yixuan did it on purpose, doing some intimate things on purpose to remind him of his past self.
Qi Yixuan had blown his hair twice, the first time was during the hot spring trip, and the second time was at the Sea View Hotel after graduation.
Shen Chen's state of mind was different twice, and the feeling of Qi Yixuan brushing his hair was different.Just like now, Qi Yixuan ran his fingertips through his hair and picked up the strands of hair, as if he could feel the temperature of Qi Yixuan's fingertips.
Very comfortable, but also very lost.
He is nostalgic, but he does not know that the other person is also nostalgic.
Double bed, one side of the body is behind the body, no one fell asleep.
Qi Yixuan closed his eyes and counted his heartbeat.It was beating vigorously, his heart seemed to have never expressed its needs so vividly.God knows how much perseverance it took to keep a calm tone when he just said that he would sleep in a bed.
Qi Yixuan turned sideways slightly, and heard Shen Chen's breathing gradually calming down.
Qi Yixuan thought that he would probably suffer from insomnia tonight, and with this person by his side, he could keep looking at him until dawn, not wanting to sleep at all.
When he woke up in the morning, Qi Yixuan was already in the kitchen. Shen Chen walked over and saw Qi Yixuan baking bread. His movements were not proficient, but his steps were orderly.
Shen Chen felt warm in his heart, his hands and feet were tired, it was rare for him to get up early to make breakfast.
Lin Huasen would go out very early every day, and Shen Chen only thought that he had worked hard in the early days of his business, and he came as he wished, and served him well.
Shen Chen touched the bruise on the corner of his mouth, Qi Yixuan applied medicine on him last night before going to bed, he got better this morning, Shen Chen didn't dare to tell Qi Yixuan, in fact, he also had bruises on his body, bruised and purple, Lin Huasen smashed it all with a wine bottle after he was drunk. Sometimes Shen Chen fell asleep and was woken up in the middle of the night by the blow. He couldn't stand the pain and let the second blow fall.
But Lin Huasen apologized guiltily the next day, and repeatedly promised that there would be no next time, but there will be another time after the next time.
Lin Huasen smashed skillfully.The injuries were all in invisible places, no one could see the forearm, thigh, and clothes.
"Do you need help?"
"Are you up? I see you are in a deep sleep, so I don't have the heart to call you."
In fact, Qi Yixuan suffered from insomnia all night and fell asleep very late, just staring at people.He couldn't bear to be disturbed, and he didn't even dare to take a heavy breath.Qi Yixuan glanced at Shen Chen's lips, even for a sneaky kiss in the middle of the night last night, Qi Yixuan felt a little guilty.
Because Shen Chen doesn't like him anymore, his kiss was stolen.
"Thank you." Although Shen Chen fell asleep very late last night, fortunately, he slept soundly.
"You don't need to keep thanking me, you used to..." Qi Yixuan held back the words, but Shen Chen seemed to be able to guess what he wanted to say.
"In the past, we were young and ignorant. Now we are out of society. Mr. Qi takes care of everything every day, and I'm still bothering you at your house, so you didn't go to the company yesterday, so you just stayed with me."
Shen Chen was smiling, but the rustiness in the words was obvious, Qi Yixuan's heart sank bit by bit.
It seems that they really can't go back, they are called friends, but everything has changed.
Shen Chen was behind Qi Yixuan, so he couldn't see Qi Yixuan's expression.As if he didn't notice Qi Yixuan's strangeness, he kept adding fuel to it.
"Yixuan, I'm going back."
Qi Yixuan froze.Looking back, there are obvious bloodshot eyes.
"Where are you going back?"
"Watson and I rented a house outside. I've been out for a day, and it's time to go back."
"Did he find you?"
Shen Chen lowered his gaze.The answer is already obvious.
"He treats you badly." Qi Yixuan said affirmatively, explaining the facts to Shen Chen in a firm tone.
Not to mention, he also knows that Lin Huasen treats him badly, not close enough, not close enough, and even can't tell whether he is dependent or likes him.But Shen Chen still had a little hope. Lin Huasen told him that he liked him and wanted to go on with him forever. He was also working hard to maintain and get closer, and he didn't want to give up the relationship between the two easily.
But the night before leaving, when Shen Chen was punched down by him, it seemed that the spring that had been suppressed for too long finally couldn't stand the rebound, and wanted to escape from that oppressive atmosphere.
When he came out of that rental house, when the cold winter wind blew, Shen Chen shivered a few times and calmed down a lot, wanting to talk to Lin Huasen.
Whether you go or stay, you must be clear.
But a day passed, Lin Huasen didn't make a phone call, Shen Chen was a little angry, and mentioned breaking up in the message.
Lin Huasen still didn't respond, which made Shen Chen think of another possibility, something happened to Lin Huasen.
The usury that has not been paid off has always been a burden for them.
The two of them ate breakfast face to face, Shen Chen was a little worried, absent-minded, and kept scooping up the porridge in the bowl.Seeing it in Qi Yixuan's eyes, his heart felt sour.Qi Yixuan maintained the smile on his face. "It's cold outside, eat enough, and don't catch a cold when you go back later."
Shen Chen looked up. "Thank you."
When going out, Qi Yixuan walked behind Shen Chen, and couldn't help holding his hand.
Shen Chen turned around and lowered his head to look at the wrist tightly held by him, his eyes followed the arm to look at Qi Yixuan, there were many things in Qi Yixuan's eyes that he couldn't understand, I don't know why Qi Yixuan looked so sad.It makes people's hearts go numb.
"You...do you have to go back?"
Shen Chen and him looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
What Qi Yixuan wanted to say was, can he stay?When he came out of the house just now, Shen Chen took off his slippers, put on his own cloth shoes, closed the down jacket on his body with force, walked to Qi Yixuan with a slight smile, and told him to go.
This gave Qi Yixuan an illusion.Shen Chen just went out with him, and at night he could still live under the same roof as Shen Chen.
After leaving, I don't know when we will meet again.When we couldn't meet each other before, Qi Yixuan relied on those memories as thoughts to hang on like this, and often fell into dreams when he fell asleep. Emotions are hidden in the bottom of my heart.But now that they met, Qi Yixuan couldn't convince himself that he was no longer satisfied with relying on the support of previous memories to suppress his emotions.
But Shen Chen left anyway, Qi Yixuan's car was parked downstairs of the rental house, watching Shen Chen take a few steps and trot up all the way.
Shen Chen really likes that person, right?It's just that I'm so eager after I haven't seen each other for a day.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have left herself so quickly, stayed by that person's side wholeheartedly, and came out of the closet.
Shen Chen's liking for him was nothing more than an awakened and ignorant affection for him, but that person was different, after all, he couldn't compare to him.
The more Qi Yixuan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. As soon as he started the car, he received a call from Zhou Xingyang.
Zhou Xingyang is back.Qi Yixuan didn't ask any questions about how long he would be back and whether he still wanted to go back. In the ktv box, there was only the sweet voice on the screen singing from the heart, Qi Yixuan didn't listen much, only one sentence hit his ears, touched a certain string in his heart, and the figure that was finally suppressed returned to his mind.
"If you go back in time, I'll be by your side..."
Zhou Xingyang went up and yelled this sentence, and felt boring after singing the song.Looking back at the wine in Qi Yixuan's glass, it was running low and full, and he had already drank a lot.
"You said you, I asked you to come out to play with me to catch up with me, not to let you go out to drink, you brother me, I'm going back to England tomorrow!"
"Aren't you tired? Staying away from home for a whole year with him like this?"
Zhou Xingyang's pouring hand paused.The eyebrows reveal their thoughts. "Not tired."
Tired is there, but he can't say it.I am afraid that once I speak out and admit my powerlessness and failure, I will no longer be able to persist.
Liking this thing seems to be addictive, tiring and frustrating, but when he is there, the attraction of continuing to like it will be even greater.
"Since I like it, I choose the path myself, and I have to catch up no matter what."
"What if I can't catch up for the rest of my life?" Qi Yixuan's eyes were hazy, and his drunkenness gradually sank.
"Let's keep chasing. Anyway, everyone is male, and the bend is fixed. Let's see who can consume whom?"
Qi Yixuan burst out laughing. "Pull it down, as long as you're chasing the law, maybe that Chu guy knows you like him or not."
"Is it okay if people don't take it apart?" Zhou Xingyang casually took away the wine bottle that Qi Yixuan had been on his right. Qi Yixuan kept looking at it, but didn't stop it.He just impulsively called Shen Chen, but no one answered after three rings, and the inflated balloon deflated instantly.
He couldn't drink anymore, he lost his mind after drinking too much, and he might do something.
"By the way, how is Xiaochen doing recently? We haven't contacted for a long time. He is the fastest among the three of us. I have at least one target in front of me. What about you, there is no one left or right. Didn't your dad urge you to get married?"
"I saw him. He spent the night at my house yesterday."
"Oh... this man is so unfair, even when he was studying, neither of you will take me to play."
"I miss him so much."
Zhou Xingyang almost choked himself to death with a sip of wine.
"Who? Who do you want?"
Qi Yixuan raised his head and looked at Zhou Xingyang with disbelief.
Zhou Xingyang looked at Qi Yixuan's appearance, he was very familiar with it, he had such an expression when facing Shen Chen, the answer was ready to come out, but Zhou Xingyang still didn't dare to accept it.
Qi Yixuan continued to make up the knife. "When he fell asleep next to me last night, I had the urge to take off his clothes and get on him."
Zhou Xingyang's expression was completely struck by lightning.
Zhou Xingyang used to brush his hair.
"What are these things!"
When he knew that Chen Chen was secretly in love with Qi Yixuan, he believed that it was impossible for Qi Yixuan to bend over. After knowing that Shen Chen had a boyfriend, he was surprised but relieved.At least there is no need to be obsessed with an impossible person, he is also walking such a path, so he doesn't want Shen Chen to be sad.But he didn't expect that when Qi Yixuan fell in love with Shen Chen.
It's really a reincarnation, the role of the person who has a crush on him changes, and Shen Chen has a boyfriend, what should Qi Yixuan do.
"We are really destined brothers, and we are all bent together."
Zhou Xingyang felt that the world was crazy.
"When did you fall in love?"
Qi Yixuan didn't know where to start, whether it started after they separated, or it was a long time ago.Qi Yixuan's heart is gradually clearing the clouds and seeing the fog, and gradually facing Shen Chen's feelings squarely. When he was full of expectations and wanted to respond to Shen Chen's liking, Shen Chen had already left him first, and did not give him a chance to turn back.He is like a person who passes by an oasis in the desert but turns a blind eye to it. When he finds that he needs it, he looks back and finds that the oasis has disappeared.If he hadn't met that oasis, hadn't gotten the love that Shen Chen himself said, and just regarded it as the germinated feelings gradually breaking through the door of his heart and being taken seriously, Qi Yixuan wouldn't be so unwilling.
He once had the opportunity to own it, holding Shen Chen's hand, and announcing their intimate relationship. It was he who turned around at the stairs that day and ran away mercilessly at his house, and he gave it up with his own hands.So much so that in the next four years, the remorse at that time even turned into a nightmare that often woke up in the middle of the night.
"It's been a long time..."
"Does he know?" Zhou Xingyang asked.
Qi Yixuan shook his head. "What does he know?" Self-mockery. "I guess he's at home now..." Qi Yixuan finally couldn't continue, as long as he thought of the scene where Shen Chen was with others, his heart began to throb.
Zhou Xingyang looked at the man drinking away his worries, his brows were troubled.When he came back this time, Qi Yixuan went to the airport to pick him up. At that time, he felt that after all these years, there was indeed something different about Qi Yixuan, especially his temperament.There is always a layer of melancholy on the body, which is faint but cannot be ignored.
Now that I think about it, everything makes sense.The sorrow after drinking is infinitely magnified, and it is the sorrow that the heart cannot ask for.
"Go after it if you like it." Zhou Xingyang took the wine glass from his mouth. "Don't be cowardly, have you ever heard that as long as a girl is not married, she can have the right to pursue her, let alone Xiaochen can't marry that person."
"Xiaochen likes him very much, as long as he is happy, I don't want to make it difficult for Xiaochen, he is so kind, if you know that I like him..." Qi Yixuan held the wine glass, looked at the transparent red liquid inside, and didn't continue to speak. , Staring at the wine, I don't know what I'm thinking.
Zhou Xingyang's cell phone rang just now, and the caller was Shen Chen.Zhou Xingyang glanced at Qi Yixuan and said to the person on the phone. "Come here, we haven't seen each other for a long time, Daxuan is drunk."
The author has something to say
[-] in [-], a thick and long chapter duck!The next chapter is coming from memories!sweet sweet (happy spoiler)
Four years later.
In a huge office, everyone at the square table picked up their things and returned to their posts, leaving only the person in the main seat, who took a deep breath and sat down on the rickety sofa chair.
Qi Yixuan felt a sudden pain in his head.Pinch the bridge of the nose with two fingertips and gently rub the sore eyes.
It has been two months since Qi Yixuan returned to China, and on the second day after he landed, he followed Qi Zhao into the company, combed his hair and put on a tie, he already had the vigor of a young man and a high-ranking person.He has become a leader, and many things in the company need to be ruled out, rectified and managed.
Day by day, Qi Yixuan's spirit was tense and he couldn't bear it.
Fortunately, I can finally relax.I don't know how Qi's mother got the news. The company's affairs were finally finished. When it came to an end, Qi's mother asked the housekeeper to call and let him go home for dinner.
He had just woken up from an old dream when he received the call.
He dreamed of his escape at the top of the stairs four years ago, and dreamed of a pair of holding hands.The scene in the dream is not scary, but it always wakes Qi Yixuan up from the dream, his chest is so heavy that he can't breathe.
When he woke up, he thought of the tightly holding hands as if masochistic, the dull pain in his heart at that time still seemed to be still in front of his eyes, vividly.It made people have to look away.
"Okay." Qi Yixuan coughed lightly when he spoke in a hoarse voice. "You tell Madam, I'll go back tonight."
After returning to China, Qi Yixuan moved out of the Qi family mansion, and bought a small apartment by himself, it was not big, it was more than enough for one person, and it was just right for two people.
Qi Yixuan didn't deliberately arrange it, it was still the same as the original decoration, simple, clean and bright.
Qi Yixuan got up and closed the curtains to block out the afterglow of the evening, washed up and was ready to go home for dinner.
As soon as Qi Yixuan entered the door, Qi's mother went up to meet her, muttering that Qi Yixuan had lost weight and needed to be replenished, after seeing him, she turned and went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of chicken soup.
The son hasn't come home for two months and lives outside, which is more worrying than living abroad.
Qi Yixuan moved out for a reason.Outsiders all say that the eldest son of the Qi family is competitive and ambitious.After staying abroad for a few years, he was eager to return to China to take the top spot in the Qi family, and Qi Zhao also took advantage of the situation to retreat behind the scenes.However, the other two sons who have been active in the public eye have been stuck in school by their studies, and they have no official positions in the Qi family.
Qi Yixuan gave up on graduate school.He came back from abroad early, in the eyes of outsiders, Qi Yixuan didn't want to make room for those two half-brothers.
Qi Yixuan dominates the company, those two brothers will always be a head below him.
Those people were right and wrong.From childhood to adulthood, Qi Yixuan has always had a mentality of resistance and revenge.He didn't like his two younger brothers who came from outside, because he felt that they were the stain on himself and his mother in the Qi family, and they were the butt of jokes by other people's families.He is determined to succeed in winning honor for Qi's mother, so he wants to inherit the Qi family.
But until now, he realized that he was wrong.During the four years abroad, those two younger brothers would go to him occasionally, and would call him brother in a polite manner. His heart was melted into guilt and anxiety in these calls of brother.They are not wrong, what is wrong is that his own thoughts and desire for exclusiveness are too dark, and the complete family he imagined is too selfish. He could have been a gentle and kind brother.
My mother is not unhappy, she has been wronged, but she has gained happiness when the family of four gradually gets along. She and Qi Zhao will drink afternoon tea together, talk heart-to-heart, and travel around the world... It is also another kind of love to be in love for a long time.
It wasn't until Qi Yixuan fell in love with someone that he realized that it was all because of his wrong thinking, which was outrageously wrong.
Qi Yixuan and Qi Zhao had a quarrel in the dormitory room in the United States, and they moved out after returning to China.
Mother and son are connected, Qi's mother knows what is on his mind.
"You, you didn't call me after you finished your work, and you are still angry with your father?" Qi's mother spoke softly, and Qi Yixuan's heart was also very soft.
"No, didn't you just finish your work? I came back."
Mother Qi sat down beside Qi Yixuan. "Drink it while it's hot." A bowl of rich-flavored chicken soup was still steaming, and Qi Yixuan picked up the bowl, conveying the warmth from his fingertips, making his heart feel comfortable.
Qi Yixuan didn't stay at home that night, Qi Yixuan went back to his apartment after the family of five finished eating.
Qi Zhao still had a cold face towards him, unable to bear the somewhat depressing atmosphere, Qi Yixuan went back to the apartment early after eating, now that he lives alone, he seems to be much more free in many aspects.Probably because he was restrained too much in the past, Qi Yixuan was a little greedy to be alone.
Qi Yixuan didn't turn on the lights when he got home, only the moonlight came in from a large floor-to-ceiling window, Qi Yixuan was shrouded in a looming darkness, dotted with wisps of moonlight here and there.
Qi Yixuan lay on the sofa in his suit, didn't care if the clothes would be wrinkled, and fell asleep just like that.In the dream, the young man smiled as brightly as yesterday, and shyly pressed a kiss on his lips, rubbing gently and slowly, he felt that it was not enough, so he returned it with a deep kiss, back and forth, his heart was also filled, it was just a dream. It's beautiful here, but it's inevitable to wake up and be disappointed.
Occasionally he would still have a sweet dream, like the dream in the evening only when he misses it too much, it seems to remind him that the sweet dream is just a fantasy, and the truth is always cruel.
Qi Yixuan didn't sleep well, he was always half asleep and half awake.Woke up the next day groggy, and was urged by the assistant to go back to the company for a morning meeting, and there was a new client to meet.The driver is waiting downstairs.
While on the road, the assistant's phone came in from time to time, Qi Yixuan was annoyed by the urging, so he simply turned off the phone.When he turned his head to look out the window, a figure flashed by, but Qi Yixuan could recognize it at a glance.
It's too familiar to ignore.In the dream, in the heart, in the mind, it has been depicted thousands of times.
"Stop, stop!" Qi Yixuan almost ignored his image.Or the only thought in his mind is that he hasn't seen that person for too long.
I haven't seen each other since the winter vacation that I rushed back four years ago.
The person with the familiar back seemed to be walking slowly in front of him.After Qi Yixuan got off the car, he ran straight up and grabbed the man's hand.
As soon as the man turned his head, the familiar eyebrows and eyes came into view, which made Qi Yixuan couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Yixuan? You're back?" A smile floated on Shen Chen's mouth, and his eyes lit up again.
Obviously there are thousands of words to say, but Qi Yixuan can't say anything at this moment. Qi Yixuan opened his mouth slightly, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him, afraid that if he blinked, the person would disappear out of thin air.
"You didn't tell me when you came back." Chen Chen smiled slightly, and when he pulled the painful expression on the corner of his mouth, Qi Yixuan noticed the bruise on the corner of Shen Chen's mouth.
"what happened to you?"
Shen Chen shook his head, his eyes lowered.
Sure enough, I still can't hide things.
"He hit it? Did he bully you?"
"No, I was not careful, we just quarreled, so I came out for a walk."
Just as he was talking, the driver caught up with him from the car.When Shen Chen saw someone, he quickly withdrew his hand.Qi Yixuan's hand was empty, just this action, Qi Yixuan's heart seemed to be empty, Qi Yixuan was inexplicably angry, and said in a fit of anger.
"I'm not going today."
Qi Yixuan took him home.Shen Chen followed behind him, with his head lowered, a little embarrassed, like the first time he came to Qi Yixuan's house, he retreated when he saw the grandeur.
"Why do you live alone?"
"I'm used to being free abroad, but I'm not used to it when there are too many people back home." Qi Yixuan automatically ignored the point, and didn't say that it was because Qi Zhao discovered those paintings and the secrets hidden in them.
After that, he finally understood how Shen Chen felt when he secretly hid the note in high school.
Qi Yixuan took a deep look at Shen Chen.The key turns the gear and the apartment door opens.
Qi Yixuan changed his slippers, and squatted in front of the shoe cabinet to find new slippers for Shen Chen.Shen Chen looked around the house, there were single servings everywhere, half a glass of water in a transparent water glass on the table, and shirts hanging casually.It was full of traces of Qi Yixuan, compared to that time, he dared not look at it, dare not touch it.Now that Qi Yixuan lives alone in the apartment, Shen Chen couldn't help but look at it several times.
This is where Qi Yixuan lives alone now.
Shen Chen looked around, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Shen Chen pretended to be free and easy and joked. "It's good to live alone, and it will be convenient to bring a girlfriend home in the future."
Qi Yixuan stood up and paused when he handed out the slippers.
Speak suddenly. "I don't have a girlfriend!"
Qi Yixuan frowned, and there was even grievance and eagerness in his words, showing on his face, looking straight into Shen Chen's eyes, making Shen Chen not know how to react for a moment.
"I mean in the future..."
"No!" Without allowing Shen Chen to finish speaking, Qi Yixuan was determined and resolute.
Shen Chen shut his mouth knowingly.
Probably aware of his gaffe.Qi Yixuan directly unpacked the slippers and placed them at Shen Chen's feet.
"Have you had breakfast? I'll make something simple for you."
Shen Chen lowered his eyes following Qi Yixuan's movements, and seemed to see Qi Yixuan's reddish eyes.Maybe it was his own eyesight that made a mistake, Shen Chen changed his shoes and put on the new pair of slippers.
Sky blue and just the right size.Shen Chen likes it, the color of the sky.
On this day, Shen Chen followed Qi Yixuan in and out, went to the supermarket to prepare ingredients, entered the kitchen of Qi Yixuan's apartment for the first time, Shen Chen felt fresh, saw that the pots and pans in the kitchen looked like they were used, unexpectedly Qi Yixuan could cook.
Shen Chen made a few simple dishes, but he didn't know if they would suit Qi Yixuan's taste. The salty and light dishes were all made according to Lin Huasen's taste, and he was always disgusted.Shen Chen's cooking skills are not good, if he hadn't stayed at Qi Yixuan's house for a day, he would feel a little bit sorry, and never thought of doing something for Qi Yixuan.
Only cooking, he can do a little bit.When Qi Yixuan came to the table, he ate several home-cooked dishes with great relish. Seeing that he was eating in a hurry, Shen Chen thought that he had performed supernormally. He picked up chopsticks and tried it. The taste was average, and the chicken was a little salty.
Shen Chen frowned slightly, raised his head and met Qi Yixuan's eyes.
"Is it not delicious? I'm sorry, I just learned how to cook."
"No, it's delicious."
Shen Chen smiled. "Stop praising me, can I still taste it myself?"
Qi Yixuan lowered his head and looked at the discolored rice soaked in the soup.
"Do you cook for him every day?"
The topic changed unexpectedly.Shen Chen suppressed his smile.
"I thought you wouldn't want to talk about me."
"how come?"
Shen Chen remembered Qi Yixuan's obvious resistance back then when he turned his eyes away.
The fake show between him and Lin Huasen came true, not because of anger.It's just getting along day and night every day, and there is more or less dependence.Lin Huasen treated him better and better, and Shen Chen began to realize that the distance between the two of them was getting smaller and smaller. Many of Lin Huasen's actions crossed the line and he misunderstood him, like a ball of cotton that was not too big or small stuck in his heart. Shen Chen could feel its softness The kimono post is always dense and sparse, with densely packed small holes, making Shen Chen uneasy and uneasy.
He was afraid that he had misunderstood him, and he was also afraid that he would let him down.He is a person who is secretly in love with this wasteland, lonely and inferior.
Lin Huasen's company happened to be his support and shelter in exile.
At the farewell party for classmates who graduated from senior year, Shen Chen drank wine.Looking at the people walking in front of me, I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart.
"Do you like me?"
"It took so long to find out?"
Shen Chen woke up the next day with a dizzy head, as if he had been hit with a sap, and suddenly woke up when he saw the message coming in from his mobile phone.
"Boy friend."
It's Lin Huasen's remarks.
Shen Chen couldn't remember what happened last night, only that Lin Huasen kissed him in the end, and he shook his head to change the note on WeChat.Their relationship finally lived up to its name.Shen Chen held his mobile phone, looked at the note, buried his head in the quilt, and almost couldn't breathe from crying. He was walking alone on this road, and he only wanted someone, like him, to accompany him and walk down the road .
Shen Chen came out of the closet with his family and lived with Lin Huasen.
At that time, I was young and vigorous, and with my lonely courage, I didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, or I cut myself off.Chen Chen did this.
But with Lin Huasen for half a year.Shen Chen's life gradually deviated from the track.
Lin Huasen's company owed a loan shark.Shen Chen's life was burdened with heavy burdens.In addition to the usual internship work, I also found a part-time job outside at night.Not only that, Lin Huasen's temperament has also changed, he often goes crazy after drinking at night, and Shen Chen is the only victim.
Today Shen Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore.After not sleeping all night, Shen Chen ran out of the house and ran into Qi Yixuan.
"Thank you, you are still willing to be my friend." Shen Chen seemed to smile wryly, his eyes slightly lowered, the food in his throat was so salty that it felt astringent.
"Xiaochen..."
"Ok?"
Qi Yixuan hesitated to speak, then smiled instead. "Let's watch a movie together after dinner."
memories⑩
After dinner, Qi Yixuan washed the dishes.He suddenly received a call from his assistant and went back to the company. The movie watching failed to materialize. Qi Yixuan was worried that Shen Chen would send a message and left just like that, or just went back without saying a word. He felt like sitting on pins and needles in the company. He was distracted and didn't say a word. After listening, Qi Yixuan rushed back after the temporary emergency meeting ended hastily.When he came back, he found that Shen Chen had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
In the living room, only a desk lamp on the cabinet was turned on, and the dim light just shrouded the sleeping person.It makes for a quiet and beautiful scene.
Qi Yixuan closed the door carefully, and paused in front of the door for a while, but his eyes were always on the sleeping person. This scene seemed to have been imagined a million times. He also wanted to have a home with Chen Chen. personal life.Whenever he came home late, someone would leave a lamp for him, waiting for him to come back, making him feel like he was cared for, that his apartment was a home.
But Qi Yixuan had to admit that Shen Chen already had someone else, and he would wait for someone to return with sweet thoughts every night, but that person was not him.
If he had grabbed Shen Chen's hand earlier and put his desire to kiss into action earlier, he would not have missed it in vain.
Thinking of this, Qi Yixuan felt sore in his heart, and he didn't dare to take a step closer, even if it was an illusion, he wanted to delay the moment of disillusionment.
It was Shen Chen who woke up first, and only after he blinked could he see clearly the person standing in front of him.
"Sorry, I fell asleep."
"I just came back."
Shen Chen's eyes were sleepy, half of his face was reddened by the sofa, this appearance made Qi Yixuan's heart soften, he remembered when Shen Chen dozed off during lunch break in high school.The sunshine was behind Qi Yixuan, and the beautiful sleeping face was right in front of his eyes, and in his future dreams, he couldn't get rid of it.
The dark monopoly that had just emerged in my heart disappeared.
This person is now in his home, how can he keep him by his side?
"Today is too late, stay here."
Shen Chen was stunned. "Then... I want to take a bath."
Qi Yixuan didn't expect to get Shen Chen's nod so easily, he breathed a sigh of relief, and found a set of clean clothes for him in the room.
Shen Chen raised his head, closed his eyes, let the hot water from the shower splash on his face, his tense and tired heart relaxed in the steaming heat.
As expected, he still had no resistance to Qi Yixuan!Shen Chen laughed at himself.He stayed here for a day. He had many opportunities to leave, but he still stayed so late that he was reluctant to leave.
I can't explain my contradictory heart. I used to get closer and closer to Lin Huasen because of escaping, but now it seems to have turned around and returned to the original point. He was fed up with Lin Huasen's fists and pressure, so he had nowhere to hide and fled to Qi Yixuan Here it comes.
After all, he's a coward who doesn't like what he does.
Fortunately, Qi Yixuan regarded him as a friend and was able to take him in.
Shen Chen came out wearing Qi Yixuan's pajamas, Qi Yixuan was tall, and the pajamas on Shen Chen's body were too big.Moreover, the top button on the chest was missing, which was originally loose and loose. When Shen Chen walked out, the towel fell off, and when he bent over to pick it up, a lot of spring light was released. His skin was reddish and flat due to the heat. Her chest is easily reminiscent of the cherry red two points in the two weeks, which is half-covered and half-covered to attract people's daydream.
Qi Yixuan stood on the spot and suddenly became at a loss, his eyes couldn't move away from Shen Chen's body, his throat was tight, he hurriedly turned his head to the side, and picked up the pajamas on the bed.
"You rest first, I'll go wash." Before Shen Chen could say anything, Qi Yixuan ran into the bathroom.
After closing the door and leaning against the door, Qi Yixuan looked down at the tent propped up under him, and smiled silently.Ever since she understood her own intentions until now, she has never felt her desire for Shen Chen so intuitively.
He wants it!
Want to be with this person.
Qi Yixuan stayed in the bathroom for a long time, Shen Chen sat on the bed, thought about the wording of sleeping on the sofa overnight, stretched his neck and waited for Qi Yixuan to come out of the bathroom.When Qi Yixuan came out, the nervousness and cramps in Shen Chen's heart had almost calmed down.
Qi Yixuan's face was a little red, and it was probably hot.Shen Chen didn't think too much, and said the lines he thought of in one mouthful.
Qi Yixuan's eyes were full of water. "No, my bed is big enough, let's sleep together."
"is this okay?"
"It's okay, it's just right for us to have one side." Qi Yixuan didn't wait for Shen Chen to agree, and began to bend over to pack the quilt. Qi Yixuan's bed was a double bed, so there was more than enough room for one person to have one side.Qi Yixuan guessed that Shen Chen would not refuse, and there was no reason to refuse. He said that he ran out after arguing with that person, but after a whole day, that person didn't even make a phone call.
It was probably smoked by the heat from Qi Yixuan's body, Shen Chen's head was covered, and he really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he reluctantly agreed.
Qi Yixuan raised the corners of his mouth quietly, looked up and saw Shen Chen's wet hair, water was still dripping from the end of his hair, and the water droplets left spots on the pajamas.
Qi Yixuan grabbed Shen Chen's head, his fingertips were covered with water drops.
"I'll blow your hair for you."
The hair dryer whistled beside Shen Chen's ear.Shen Chen closed his eyes, memories are always like this, pervasively sneaking in every similar scene, eroding people's reason, and inflicting a dull pain on the heart.
If he didn't know that Qi Yixuan was innocent and only regarded him as a friend, Shen Chen would even think that Qi Yixuan did it on purpose, doing some intimate things on purpose to remind him of his past self.
Qi Yixuan had blown his hair twice, the first time was during the hot spring trip, and the second time was at the Sea View Hotel after graduation.
Shen Chen's state of mind was different twice, and the feeling of Qi Yixuan brushing his hair was different.Just like now, Qi Yixuan ran his fingertips through his hair and picked up the strands of hair, as if he could feel the temperature of Qi Yixuan's fingertips.
Very comfortable, but also very lost.
He is nostalgic, but he does not know that the other person is also nostalgic.
Double bed, one side of the body is behind the body, no one fell asleep.
Qi Yixuan closed his eyes and counted his heartbeat.It was beating vigorously, his heart seemed to have never expressed its needs so vividly.God knows how much perseverance it took to keep a calm tone when he just said that he would sleep in a bed.
Qi Yixuan turned sideways slightly, and heard Shen Chen's breathing gradually calming down.
Qi Yixuan thought that he would probably suffer from insomnia tonight, and with this person by his side, he could keep looking at him until dawn, not wanting to sleep at all.
When he woke up in the morning, Qi Yixuan was already in the kitchen. Shen Chen walked over and saw Qi Yixuan baking bread. His movements were not proficient, but his steps were orderly.
Shen Chen felt warm in his heart, his hands and feet were tired, it was rare for him to get up early to make breakfast.
Lin Huasen would go out very early every day, and Shen Chen only thought that he had worked hard in the early days of his business, and he came as he wished, and served him well.
Shen Chen touched the bruise on the corner of his mouth, Qi Yixuan applied medicine on him last night before going to bed, he got better this morning, Shen Chen didn't dare to tell Qi Yixuan, in fact, he also had bruises on his body, bruised and purple, Lin Huasen smashed it all with a wine bottle after he was drunk. Sometimes Shen Chen fell asleep and was woken up in the middle of the night by the blow. He couldn't stand the pain and let the second blow fall.
But Lin Huasen apologized guiltily the next day, and repeatedly promised that there would be no next time, but there will be another time after the next time.
Lin Huasen smashed skillfully.The injuries were all in invisible places, no one could see the forearm, thigh, and clothes.
"Do you need help?"
"Are you up? I see you are in a deep sleep, so I don't have the heart to call you."
In fact, Qi Yixuan suffered from insomnia all night and fell asleep very late, just staring at people.He couldn't bear to be disturbed, and he didn't even dare to take a heavy breath.Qi Yixuan glanced at Shen Chen's lips, even for a sneaky kiss in the middle of the night last night, Qi Yixuan felt a little guilty.
Because Shen Chen doesn't like him anymore, his kiss was stolen.
"Thank you." Although Shen Chen fell asleep very late last night, fortunately, he slept soundly.
"You don't need to keep thanking me, you used to..." Qi Yixuan held back the words, but Shen Chen seemed to be able to guess what he wanted to say.
"In the past, we were young and ignorant. Now we are out of society. Mr. Qi takes care of everything every day, and I'm still bothering you at your house, so you didn't go to the company yesterday, so you just stayed with me."
Shen Chen was smiling, but the rustiness in the words was obvious, Qi Yixuan's heart sank bit by bit.
It seems that they really can't go back, they are called friends, but everything has changed.
Shen Chen was behind Qi Yixuan, so he couldn't see Qi Yixuan's expression.As if he didn't notice Qi Yixuan's strangeness, he kept adding fuel to it.
"Yixuan, I'm going back."
Qi Yixuan froze.Looking back, there are obvious bloodshot eyes.
"Where are you going back?"
"Watson and I rented a house outside. I've been out for a day, and it's time to go back."
"Did he find you?"
Shen Chen lowered his gaze.The answer is already obvious.
"He treats you badly." Qi Yixuan said affirmatively, explaining the facts to Shen Chen in a firm tone.
Not to mention, he also knows that Lin Huasen treats him badly, not close enough, not close enough, and even can't tell whether he is dependent or likes him.But Shen Chen still had a little hope. Lin Huasen told him that he liked him and wanted to go on with him forever. He was also working hard to maintain and get closer, and he didn't want to give up the relationship between the two easily.
But the night before leaving, when Shen Chen was punched down by him, it seemed that the spring that had been suppressed for too long finally couldn't stand the rebound, and wanted to escape from that oppressive atmosphere.
When he came out of that rental house, when the cold winter wind blew, Shen Chen shivered a few times and calmed down a lot, wanting to talk to Lin Huasen.
Whether you go or stay, you must be clear.
But a day passed, Lin Huasen didn't make a phone call, Shen Chen was a little angry, and mentioned breaking up in the message.
Lin Huasen still didn't respond, which made Shen Chen think of another possibility, something happened to Lin Huasen.
The usury that has not been paid off has always been a burden for them.
The two of them ate breakfast face to face, Shen Chen was a little worried, absent-minded, and kept scooping up the porridge in the bowl.Seeing it in Qi Yixuan's eyes, his heart felt sour.Qi Yixuan maintained the smile on his face. "It's cold outside, eat enough, and don't catch a cold when you go back later."
Shen Chen looked up. "Thank you."
When going out, Qi Yixuan walked behind Shen Chen, and couldn't help holding his hand.
Shen Chen turned around and lowered his head to look at the wrist tightly held by him, his eyes followed the arm to look at Qi Yixuan, there were many things in Qi Yixuan's eyes that he couldn't understand, I don't know why Qi Yixuan looked so sad.It makes people's hearts go numb.
"You...do you have to go back?"
Shen Chen and him looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
What Qi Yixuan wanted to say was, can he stay?When he came out of the house just now, Shen Chen took off his slippers, put on his own cloth shoes, closed the down jacket on his body with force, walked to Qi Yixuan with a slight smile, and told him to go.
This gave Qi Yixuan an illusion.Shen Chen just went out with him, and at night he could still live under the same roof as Shen Chen.
After leaving, I don't know when we will meet again.When we couldn't meet each other before, Qi Yixuan relied on those memories as thoughts to hang on like this, and often fell into dreams when he fell asleep. Emotions are hidden in the bottom of my heart.But now that they met, Qi Yixuan couldn't convince himself that he was no longer satisfied with relying on the support of previous memories to suppress his emotions.
But Shen Chen left anyway, Qi Yixuan's car was parked downstairs of the rental house, watching Shen Chen take a few steps and trot up all the way.
Shen Chen really likes that person, right?It's just that I'm so eager after I haven't seen each other for a day.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have left herself so quickly, stayed by that person's side wholeheartedly, and came out of the closet.
Shen Chen's liking for him was nothing more than an awakened and ignorant affection for him, but that person was different, after all, he couldn't compare to him.
The more Qi Yixuan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. As soon as he started the car, he received a call from Zhou Xingyang.
Zhou Xingyang is back.Qi Yixuan didn't ask any questions about how long he would be back and whether he still wanted to go back. In the ktv box, there was only the sweet voice on the screen singing from the heart, Qi Yixuan didn't listen much, only one sentence hit his ears, touched a certain string in his heart, and the figure that was finally suppressed returned to his mind.
"If you go back in time, I'll be by your side..."
Zhou Xingyang went up and yelled this sentence, and felt boring after singing the song.Looking back at the wine in Qi Yixuan's glass, it was running low and full, and he had already drank a lot.
"You said you, I asked you to come out to play with me to catch up with me, not to let you go out to drink, you brother me, I'm going back to England tomorrow!"
"Aren't you tired? Staying away from home for a whole year with him like this?"
Zhou Xingyang's pouring hand paused.The eyebrows reveal their thoughts. "Not tired."
Tired is there, but he can't say it.I am afraid that once I speak out and admit my powerlessness and failure, I will no longer be able to persist.
Liking this thing seems to be addictive, tiring and frustrating, but when he is there, the attraction of continuing to like it will be even greater.
"Since I like it, I choose the path myself, and I have to catch up no matter what."
"What if I can't catch up for the rest of my life?" Qi Yixuan's eyes were hazy, and his drunkenness gradually sank.
"Let's keep chasing. Anyway, everyone is male, and the bend is fixed. Let's see who can consume whom?"
Qi Yixuan burst out laughing. "Pull it down, as long as you're chasing the law, maybe that Chu guy knows you like him or not."
"Is it okay if people don't take it apart?" Zhou Xingyang casually took away the wine bottle that Qi Yixuan had been on his right. Qi Yixuan kept looking at it, but didn't stop it.He just impulsively called Shen Chen, but no one answered after three rings, and the inflated balloon deflated instantly.
He couldn't drink anymore, he lost his mind after drinking too much, and he might do something.
"By the way, how is Xiaochen doing recently? We haven't contacted for a long time. He is the fastest among the three of us. I have at least one target in front of me. What about you, there is no one left or right. Didn't your dad urge you to get married?"
"I saw him. He spent the night at my house yesterday."
"Oh... this man is so unfair, even when he was studying, neither of you will take me to play."
"I miss him so much."
Zhou Xingyang almost choked himself to death with a sip of wine.
"Who? Who do you want?"
Qi Yixuan raised his head and looked at Zhou Xingyang with disbelief.
Zhou Xingyang looked at Qi Yixuan's appearance, he was very familiar with it, he had such an expression when facing Shen Chen, the answer was ready to come out, but Zhou Xingyang still didn't dare to accept it.
Qi Yixuan continued to make up the knife. "When he fell asleep next to me last night, I had the urge to take off his clothes and get on him."
Zhou Xingyang's expression was completely struck by lightning.
Zhou Xingyang used to brush his hair.
"What are these things!"
When he knew that Chen Chen was secretly in love with Qi Yixuan, he believed that it was impossible for Qi Yixuan to bend over. After knowing that Shen Chen had a boyfriend, he was surprised but relieved.At least there is no need to be obsessed with an impossible person, he is also walking such a path, so he doesn't want Shen Chen to be sad.But he didn't expect that when Qi Yixuan fell in love with Shen Chen.
It's really a reincarnation, the role of the person who has a crush on him changes, and Shen Chen has a boyfriend, what should Qi Yixuan do.
"We are really destined brothers, and we are all bent together."
Zhou Xingyang felt that the world was crazy.
"When did you fall in love?"
Qi Yixuan didn't know where to start, whether it started after they separated, or it was a long time ago.Qi Yixuan's heart is gradually clearing the clouds and seeing the fog, and gradually facing Shen Chen's feelings squarely. When he was full of expectations and wanted to respond to Shen Chen's liking, Shen Chen had already left him first, and did not give him a chance to turn back.He is like a person who passes by an oasis in the desert but turns a blind eye to it. When he finds that he needs it, he looks back and finds that the oasis has disappeared.If he hadn't met that oasis, hadn't gotten the love that Shen Chen himself said, and just regarded it as the germinated feelings gradually breaking through the door of his heart and being taken seriously, Qi Yixuan wouldn't be so unwilling.
He once had the opportunity to own it, holding Shen Chen's hand, and announcing their intimate relationship. It was he who turned around at the stairs that day and ran away mercilessly at his house, and he gave it up with his own hands.So much so that in the next four years, the remorse at that time even turned into a nightmare that often woke up in the middle of the night.
"It's been a long time..."
"Does he know?" Zhou Xingyang asked.
Qi Yixuan shook his head. "What does he know?" Self-mockery. "I guess he's at home now..." Qi Yixuan finally couldn't continue, as long as he thought of the scene where Shen Chen was with others, his heart began to throb.
Zhou Xingyang looked at the man drinking away his worries, his brows were troubled.When he came back this time, Qi Yixuan went to the airport to pick him up. At that time, he felt that after all these years, there was indeed something different about Qi Yixuan, especially his temperament.There is always a layer of melancholy on the body, which is faint but cannot be ignored.
Now that I think about it, everything makes sense.The sorrow after drinking is infinitely magnified, and it is the sorrow that the heart cannot ask for.
"Go after it if you like it." Zhou Xingyang took the wine glass from his mouth. "Don't be cowardly, have you ever heard that as long as a girl is not married, she can have the right to pursue her, let alone Xiaochen can't marry that person."
"Xiaochen likes him very much, as long as he is happy, I don't want to make it difficult for Xiaochen, he is so kind, if you know that I like him..." Qi Yixuan held the wine glass, looked at the transparent red liquid inside, and didn't continue to speak. , Staring at the wine, I don't know what I'm thinking.
Zhou Xingyang's cell phone rang just now, and the caller was Shen Chen.Zhou Xingyang glanced at Qi Yixuan and said to the person on the phone. "Come here, we haven't seen each other for a long time, Daxuan is drunk."
