The day went on as usual.

Xia Qijing goes to class every day, finds Lin and Qian to play games, takes Shiyu's car home in the afternoon, does homework until after ten o'clock in the evening, and then goes to bed.

Nothing seems to have changed.

But in fact, some things are changing quietly. People involved in the matter cannot see the fog, just because they cannot see their own hearts.

A few days later, Xia Qijing went to visit Ye Wang. They met in a coffee shop. Ye Wang was tightly wrapped in a long-sleeved shirt and covered from head to toe, like an honest and conservative middle school student.

"It's cold, I can't drink ice," Ye Wang pitifully drank a cup of hot milk with sugar, "A few days ago, thank you."

"It's fine."

"That man didn't say anything nonsense, right?" He looked at him tentatively, "I really don't know him, I plan to go back after staying in the bar for a while, who knew he was drunk..."

Xia Qijing had a lot to say, but seeing Ye Wang huddled in his clothes and sickly, he couldn't say anything: "Yes."

Ye Wang became active and told him that the band rented a music house near Jinhu University, and planned to rest here for a while, write some new songs, and maybe release a new album in the coming year.

He spoke happily, with a pure and enthusiastic expression, completely different from the decadent and gloomy drunk a few days ago.

But Xia Qijing always felt weird.

He felt that Ye Wang was wearing a mask, a mask of an amiable big brother who always smiled in a stereotyped way.

Their chat seemed speculative, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, from beginning to end, Ye Wang was talking about his life, his plan, or superficial ridicule.

Or just ask him if he has a relationship in college, where to go on weekends, and so on.

A topic that can be discussed with any stranger.

It stands to reason that childhood acquaintances meet after many years, shouldn't they talk about a lot of common memories?

But Ye Wang didn't mention a word, except that he remembered that he called him "Little Seven", as if he didn't have that memory at all.

His acquaintance and friendliness are all polite, and he didn't belong to that wanton and willful "Brother Ye".

For some reason, Xia Qijing suddenly asked, "Really, do you remember me?"

Ye Wang smiled: "What nonsense."

"The day before you left seven years ago, do you still remember what you said to me?" Xia Qijing's hands were sweating, "Since the day I met you again, I always thought that you would treat me soon." Speaking of that incident. But it’s been so many days, and I haven’t... If you remember that my name is Xiaoqi, you shouldn’t forget it anyway.”

He finally expressed his confusion.

This secret that has been hidden for seven years, the reason why he panicked when he saw Ye Wang, the reason why he tossed and turned and lost sleep for countless nights...

He originally wanted Ye Wang to bring it up by himself, and he firmly believed that he remembered those and would give him a reasonable explanation.

But after what happened that day, he suddenly lost confidence.

Ye Wang froze for a moment.

Then he blinked his eyes and regained the warm man's smile: "Seven years ago, that was really a long time ago... Can you remind me?"

Xia Qijing's whole body froze.

impossible.

How could this be?

If he is the only one who remembers this event for seven years, what is the reason why he has been obsessed with it for so long?

Ye Wang doesn't remember anything, why can he still be so calm and intimate to him.

He always thought Ye Wang was different to him.

It turns out that he treats everyone... in such a stereotyped acquaintance?

Xia Qijing couldn't remember if her expression lost control.

He left the sentence "Suddenly something happened" and fled the coffee shop in a hurry.

When he got home, Shi Yu was watching a nature documentary on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing the cold sweat on his forehead, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately came over to touch his forehead: "Why are you sweating so much?"

"It's okay, it's just..."

He wanted to say that it was just the wind blowing on the way back, but before he finished speaking, his body lost his strength and almost knelt down.

Shi Yu subconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged him.

He carried him to the sofa, took off his sweaty socks, wiped his feet with a towel, and stuffed him into a warm and dry blanket: "Do you want some water? Milk?"

He was going to get up to warm up the milk for him, Xia Qijing subconsciously took his hand: "No need..."

Shi Yu was stunned.

After the accident in the back seat of the car, the relationship between the two fell to a freezing point. Later, he apologized and repented several times, and with that confession, Xia Qijing reluctantly forgave him, and the two maintained a peaceful relationship. in the relationship.

Xia Qijing naturally didn't take his confession seriously, thinking that it was just that the alpha who had never been in a relationship was bewitched by pheromones and mistook the pheromone response for love.

He thought it was absurd, but he didn't know how to refute it. For the first time in his life, he felt powerless.

But no matter how he said it, he knew that his limbs crossed the boundary to cause the trouble, so since then, he didn't dare to get close to Xia Qijing, fearing that he would lose control and mess things up.

This was the first time Xia Qijing took the initiative to grab his hand after many days.

Grasping a little tight, like a suffocating person suddenly grabbing a life-saving straw, tears flowed down his cheeks before the lake.

Naturally, he wasn't stupid enough to remind Xia Qijing that he had "crossed the line".

He held his wrist with his backhand, pulled him into his arms, and patted his back comfortingly: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Xia Qijing didn't speak, resting his head on his left shoulder, his fingers clutching his shirt convulsively.

Shi Yu felt the body in his arms tremble slightly, and after a while, his left shoulder became wet and became hot and burning.

It was crying.

Xia Qijing looked like a child when he cried, biting his knuckles, crying out of breath, as if he was about to hiccup in the next second.

Shi Yu didn't ask him why he was crying, nor did he make him happy, but hugged him quietly, waiting for him to vent his grievance and sadness.

He had never seen Xia Qijing cry so sadly.

In the past few months since I met Xia Qijing, Xia Qijing has always been lazy and doesn’t take anything seriously. The rare tears are just a physiological reaction of being forced to the extreme during the heat period, and have nothing to do with emotions. .

He had to admit despicably that he was a little jealous of the person who made Xia Qijing cry like this.

It must be very caring to have such deep sadness.

Why, that person can have so much attention from him?

When Xia Qijing gradually calmed down, he said softly, "Would you like to tell me?"

"say what."

"When you went out in the morning, you said you were going to meet your friends. Why did you cry when you came back? Did he bully you?"

Xia Qijing didn't say a word, his hand was pulled down and held in his palm, so he had to unconsciously bite the clothes on his shoulder.

"Then, you should let me know who that person is," he said in a relaxed tone, "I'll see which department it is, and if I can beat him, I'll take the brothers from the finance department to beat him up."

Xia Qijing smiled vaguely.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I went to see you this morning, yes, Ye Wang."

Ye Wang.

Shi Yu thought to himself, it really was him.

"He didn't bully me, it's just...I suddenly realized that I was thinking about something wrong. Some things that I thought were important seemed to be just my own sentimentality. "

"What kind of important thing?"

"I don't want to say," Xia Qijing buried his head, and said sullenly, "...Thinking about it, you will feel sad, as if your heart was poked by a pencil sharpener, it won't break it, but it will hurt you dullly."

"Then don't think about it," Shi Yu patted the back of his head, "Go to sleep, it will be fine once you wake up."

During this sleep, Xia Qijing slept from dawn to dark.

Originally it was just a nap, but because Shi Yu pulled up the heavy curtains, the room was opaque, as dark as it was late at night.

He subconsciously felt quiet and safe, so he fell into a deep sleep, not knowing whether it was day or night, day or night.

When I woke up, I realized it was past seven o'clock in the evening.

Xia Qijing thought that Shiyu was probably watching a documentary or reading a book.

At seven o'clock in the evening, he usually has finished his dinner.

Xia Qijing was embarrassed to bother him to make dinner for himself, so he planned to sneak into the kitchen and find some toast and yogurt to fill his stomach.

As a result, as soon as he put his foot down on the bed, he kicked something soft and warm.

Xia Qijing was so frightened that he almost cried out, and suddenly turned on the light——

Shi Yu was sitting on the ground beside his bed. He seemed to be lying on the edge of the bed, with his head resting on the bed, like a big dog loyally guarding his master.

He covered his stomach, his eyes were the same hazy and dazed as when he just woke up, and he said slightly aggrieved: "...it hurts."

Xia Qijing finally knew what he kicked.

He quickly helped Shi Yu up, rubbed his stomach while helping him, and said, "What are you doing by my bed?"

"……sleep."

"Why don't you go to sleep in the room, don't you panic when you sit on the floor?"

"I'm afraid that if you wake up and can't find anyone, you will be scared."

Xia Qijing's face turned red: "I'm not a child... I just sleep alone, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

With a stubborn look, it seemed that he wasn't the one who was crying in Shi Yu's arms just now.

Shi Yu didn't care about him: "Well, I was worrying too much."

Xia Qijing said awkwardly: "You can also come up to sleep... This bed is so big, there is no reason why guests sleep on the bed, but the master sleeps on the ground to accompany him."

The dignified Colonel Jin, the chairman of the student union, huddled up at the foot of the bed so aggrieved.

If an outsider sees it, I'm afraid the eyeballs will fall out of shock.

"is it okay?"

"Why not, this is your home."

Anyway, the bed was big enough for three people to lie down.The two lay on each side, and neither could touch the other.

Shi Yu smiled wryly: "Let's forget it."

"how……"

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said:

"I said you're going to hate me again... But, just sleeping next to you has exhausted all my self-control."
