Clear Feather of the Ring

After Yi Qing returned to the restaurant after answering the phone, she didn't think much about continuing to have dinner together. After eating with her classmates, she went back to the hotel first.

He took a shower and lay on the bed, and dialed with his mobile phone, only to find that it had been turned off.

He calculated the time, and it should have been midnight at Long Tianyu's side, and he didn't go to bed so late, he still seemed to be in a drunk state from the sound, and he didn't know what happened.

It has been more than ten days since I came here, and the written test has already been taken. Yi Qing feels that there is nothing wrong with her, so she just waits for the results to come out and participate in the next round of interviews.These days, apart from waiting for notifications, he is gathering with former classmates, friends and colleagues.Most of the people here are warm and friendly. I have been here for six years. Even though I am not easy to get along with, I have made some friends who are very good to me.After returning here after a year, I actually began to miss the time I spent here before. Although it was difficult, I felt that my life was easier than the year in China. At least here, there would be no tit-for-tat confrontation with Long Tianyu. , and there will be no family members who will question their feelings in good faith.

As soon as Yi Qing put down the phone, a call came. He picked it up and saw that it was Xia Wenyi who called: "How about the dinner today? I thought you guys would hang out late, but I didn't expect to rush to finish the matter and call In the past, you have already dispersed. What's going on?"

"I'm a little sleepy, so I'll come back first. I'll have plenty of time to get together in the future, so this time is not bad."

Xia Wenyi smiled over there: "Yes, anyway, you will stay here from now on. By the way, I have inquired with my friends about the written test, congratulations on passing."

Yi Qing was not surprised when she heard this, and just asked, "When is the interview?"

"I estimate that the results of the written test will be announced next week, and the interview should be arranged within a few days after that."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Xia Wenyi paused there, and then tentatively asked Yi Qing, "Why don't you go outside and play around before you come back? It's boring to wait here."

"Don't you have something to do? No need. It just so happened that the former tutor knew that I was back and asked me to help tutor the next few students, and I agreed."

"Oh." After hearing Yi Qing's words, Xia Wenyi originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and said: "Then you go to bed early, and I will call tomorrow."

Yi Qing hung up the phone, looking at the number in the call log, a little dazed.Long Tianyu had never called him before, but this time he made such a sudden call and said those words, which was not like his style at all.

According to his previous attitude towards himself, he also knew that Long Tianyu's hatred for him had long been indescribable, and not disturbing each other after that was his greatest tolerance towards himself.

If nothing happened, how could he make this call so easily? !

Yi Qing took the tablet next to the bed and opened it. After a little hesitation, she opened the web page and typed the words "Long's Group Wedding" in the search column.

Over the past few days, even though I have been avoiding that day, and I am even a little thankful that I had such a good reason to leave before Long Tianyu got engaged, but occasionally when I lose my mind and see the date displayed on the phone, I can't help but think of it. , that person is already a husband.

When he pressed the Enter key with his finger, his heart stopped for a moment, and he felt that he must have gone crazy to suddenly want to pay attention to his news, and it was still this one.

He waited for a few seconds, and before the page popped up, he closed the computer with a "click", and then closed the curtains in the room, so that no light could come in, and he fell asleep with his head depressed.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I was sweating all over.He drew the curtains aside, and it was already dark outside.The air conditioner in the room was obviously working well, but he felt that it was too hot. He took a can of beer from the refrigerator and drank it all in one go, but it didn't relieve the inexplicable depression in his heart.

Long Tianyu's drunken words "Yi Qing, come back with me" echoed in his mind all the time during the day.

Whoa, what the hell happened.

He went to the bathroom and took a shower again, pouring out the lingering irritability in his heart, then returned to the room, picked up the tablet, opened it, collected himself, and typed those few words.

The news about "Long's Group Wedding" was displayed one by one on the page. He thought he would see all kinds of reports about how grand and luxurious the wedding was, but he didn't expect to see all kinds of news about Long Ma's death. information.

Yi Qing didn't believe it at first, so he opened it up and read it carefully, until in the last news report, he saw Long Tianyu with a haggard face and a white chrysanthemum pinned to his chest, surrounded by a group of security guards. Next, he came out from the gate of the cemetery, ignored the questioning of various reporters waiting in front of the gate, and got into the car expressionlessly.

Long Ma left, leaving so suddenly, I don't know how Long Tianyu accepted the news at that time, and how he survived these days.I didn't expect such a big thing to happen just a few days after I left the country.

He turned off the computer, and in the dark room, he wondered where Long Tianyu was drunk and whether there was anyone around to take care of him.

He touched the mobile phone on the bed and called the daytime number again, but it was still turned off.

Yi Qing got out of bed, stood in the room for a while, then picked up the landline in the room, and called the front desk of the hotel: "Help me book a direct flight ticket to S city in China, the earliest and fastest one class."

He had already prepaid a two-month deposit for the hotel room over there, thinking that he would come back, so he didn't check out.The front desk was also very helpful, and even found him a flight that night. He didn't hesitate too much, just cleaned up a few clothes and rushed to the airport by car.

After flying for more than ten hours in a row, he didn't sleep well on the plane because of Long Tianyu's incident. When the plane landed at XX Airport in S City, Yi Qing got off the plane and looked at the dark sky, feeling like The illusion that I am still in France.

At this time, he couldn't go home either. His parents and elder brother knew that he would definitely ask questions when he came back suddenly.All the things in the bookstore have been packed by myself. If I go back there, I will definitely have to tidy up until midnight tonight before I can sleep, but think about it carefully, it is better to be physically tired than mentally tortured, so I got up from the airport. Taxi, he asked the driver to drive to the bookstore.

Until he sat in the taxi, he couldn't figure out what he was going to do when he came back this time.All he knew was that the moment he turned off the computer, he knew that if he didn't come back, he would never feel at ease.

He knew that with his current status, he could not help Long Tianyu at all, and he was not worthy to help.But as long as he thinks that because of his mother, he may run to some unknown tavern to drink himself half to death, or lock himself up and see no one all day long, when he thinks of these, he feels that he must come back No.

Whether he made the phone call accidentally when he was drunk, or he wanted to find someone to vent to when he was awake, if he didn't know the news of Long Ma's death, Yi Qing could at least forget about it as if it didn't happen.But now, no matter whether he was intentional or not, he had to come back because of Long Tianyu's words.At least, to see him well, I can be relieved.

He got out of the car, and when he walked to the door of the bookstore and wanted to open the door, he realized that the lock on the door had long since disappeared.

It can't be a thief, right?

Pushing the door open and going in, before taking a few steps towards the stairs, he vaguely saw a black shadow rushing towards him and pounced on him.

Yi Qing hid for a while, touched the light on the wall, and turned on the light on the first floor.The one that rushed towards him turned out to be a dog.He looked at it for a while, not sure if the skinny and dirty dog ​​in front of him was Yiyi, but the grunting black eyeballs were very similar.

"One by one?" He yelled at the dog that was rushing towards him.

The dog jumped more happily, barked a few times, and then rubbed its head against his calf, acting like a spoiled child.

Yi Qing glanced at the second floor where it ran down just now, but the lights were not turned on there.He walked up the stairs quickly, the door of the room was open, and before he reached the door, the smell of alcohol and smoke from the room was already choking him so that he couldn't breathe.

He walked in, put the bag by the door, and saw a man sitting on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigarette, because the backlight made it difficult to see the man's face clearly.Yi Qing didn't turn on the light either, and walked towards the figure with the light coming in from outside, accidentally kicked several empty wine bottles on the floor, causing a big commotion in the silent room. movement.

The man had been sitting on the edge of the sofa and didn't even look at the door when Yi Qing came in. Only then did he turn his head and look towards the sound of the wine bottle.

Yi Qing kicked the wine bottle and walked over, standing in front of him.

Long Tianyu looked up at Yi Qing, forgetting to take the cigarette in his mouth, and Yi Qing looked at him with his head down.The two looked at each other for a long time, until Yi Qing stretched out his hand, took the cigarette from Long Tianyu's mouth, threw it on the table next to him, pressed it out, and then sat next to him.

"Why are you back?" Long Tianyu felt that he must be drunk and saw Yi Qing's phantom.He hadn't spoken to anyone for several days, and it didn't matter if he talked to the last phantom at this moment.

"En." Yi Qing answered him in a low voice.

Long Tianyu turned his head and fixedly looked at the person sitting next to him, "Yi Qing, is it you?"

"Yes." Yi Qing turned his head and looked at him, "I'm back."

In the darkness, he couldn't see Long Tianyu's face very clearly, he could only feel the despondency of the person in front of him from his dry voice and the smell of tobacco and alcohol all over his body.

Long Tianyu moved his face closer and stared at Yi Qing for a while.He felt the hot air exhaled from Yi Qing's nose hitting his face, and the silhouette of his eyelashes fluttering slightly under his eyelids in the dim light.It was Yi Qing, not her fantasy, but the real Yi Qing.

He felt his nose sore, and tears welled up, "Yi Qing, my mother is gone."

Yi Qing, I don't have a mother anymore, and I will be alone in this world from now on.

He stretched out his hand and hugged Yi Qing tightly, like the last light seen in the boundless darkness, holding on tightly and not letting go.He hugged him, as if he wanted to embed him in his body, so hard, but so sad at the same time.

"I don't have a mother." His head rested on Yi Qing's shoulder, and his shoulder was wet with tears.

The screams from Long Tianyu's heart echoed in Yi Qing's ears, making his heart ache.If I hadn't come back, I don't know how long this person will stay here in peace, let alone how he will survive all this.

Yi Qing stretched out her hand, hugged Long Tianyu with her backhand, let him rest on her shoulder, and cried hoarsely.

Feeling Yi Qing's hug back, Long Tianyu cried even harder.This was the first time since he came out of the hospital that he shed tears in front of people, crying like a child without a mother.And he was, really, motherless.

Yi Qing is the only person who can let Long Tianyu expose his wounds unreservedly. It is the cave that Long Tianyu most wants to find when he is injured and helpless. It is the cave that Long Tianyu most wants to find at this moment. Someone who wants him to be by his side.Those strong and calm pretense in front of others, those tears that were about to burst out of the eyes that were desperately held back, at the moment of hugging Yi Qing, all took off the disguise, revealing the fragility and long-bearable sadness hidden deep inside, turning into Made unbridled crying and overflowing tears, gushing out all at once, drowning everything.

Yi Qing hugged him tightly, feeling the damp heat on his shoulders, and sighed in his heart, fortunately he came back.
