exactly

In fact, Chang Qin had heard movement outside the house when Vincent was standing outside the door to take out the keys, but he intentionally held Xi Ling in his arms, in order to see how his nominal boyfriend would react.

He had heard Vincent's name countless times in other people's mouths. Chang Qin had to admit that the opponent's appearance was indeed impeccably handsome. Where to go, it's just Vincent's childish appearance, Chang Qin really didn't expect the other party to like this type.I saw Vincent looking at himself with a half-smile, with a rebellious look on his face, a cross earring hanging on one earlobe, and a silver necklace that reached to his chest around his neck, reflecting the faint light in the setting sun , Chang Qin twitched the corner of his mouth in displeasure, then reluctantly let go of Xi Ling, got up and walked towards the entrance, extended a hand generously, and introduced himself to Vincent: "Hello, my name is Chang Qin."

Vincent also reached out to shake hands with the other party, and nodded with a smile: "I have long admired your name. My Chinese name is Ye Wenqi, but you can also call me Vincent just like Xi Ling." After finishing speaking, he looked meaningfully at still Xi Ling nestled on the sofa.

Chang Qin had a panoramic view of these tiny movements, and his chest suddenly burned with anger.

Seeing that the two greeted each other politely and modestly on the surface, but threatening in secret, Xi Ling instinctively felt that one head was two big, so he held his forehead to avoid his eyes, and pretended that nothing happened just now.

Chang Qin turned around and looked down at Xi Ling, his broad chest heaved violently with jealousy, completely ignoring Vincent's existence, and still asked unwillingly, "Xi Ling, are you coming with me?"

"What do you mean?" Vincent, who was still standing at the entrance, burst into anger. He stepped forward in two or three steps, pulled Chang Qin's arm so that he was facing him, raised his palm and pushed hard on his chest, and the latter Caught off guard, he staggered on the spot, quickly regained his balance, straightened his shirt, and provocatively said without showing any weakness: "I'm talking to Lawyer Xi, please shut up, everyone!"

Chang Qin, who is usually so docile and has no friends, suddenly became angry, exuding a restrained handsomeness all over his body, his originally bright eyes were half-closed, his thick black brows were knit into a ball, and his chin was raised jokingly , the lips are pressed tightly, and the corners of the lips are pressed down, as if in the next second, the person opposite can be trampled under his feet and beaten up.It's just that Chang Qin is used to being submissive, and rarely shows this kind of expression. Xi Ling has been with him for so long, and he has only seen this kind of expression on the other person's face three times. When I questioned Wu Jing on the same line as myself, there was another time when he stood on the dazzling stage on the night of the awards, his jaw was raised high and the corners of his brows were slightly frowned, but his expression that night was not provocative, but rather arrogant Xi Ling was intoxicated by the kind of self-confidence that seemed to want to step on the whole world, and he couldn't take his eyes away. He even felt that this was Chang Qin's original appearance. It was the disguise he attached to his face after being in this society for too long.

"You..." Vincent had already clenched his fists tightly. He tightly grabbed Chang Qin's collar and was about to swing it up in the next second. The latter also stared at him fiercely, ready to have a hearty show melee.

"Enough!" Xi Ling, who had been hiding in the corner of the sofa and supported his forehead, could no longer turn a blind eye, and shouted unbearably, his headache was about to explode, and he didn't know where he got these two mentally handicapped teenagers to play their temper at home , as if someone is willing to appreciate it, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, tried not to let himself get along with these two idiots, and said patiently: "If you want to fight, please go out and fight, there are many spectators outside the house."

Vincent: "..."

Chang Qin: "..."

Seeing that the two people finally stopped arguing, Xi Ling stood up, went to Chang Qin's side and asked, "Have you booked a hotel? I think it's getting late. If you don't book a hotel by now, it may be difficult to get a vacant room." ..."

But Chang Qin avoided answering, raised his hand suddenly, and grabbed the opponent's wrist stubbornly, his eyes were red and bleeding, his eyes were naked and burning, and he asked again word by word: "Will you come with me?" Is it?"

Xi Ling didn't say anything, just twisted his wrist vigorously to break free from his restraint, even a trace of disgust flashed across his face.

Chang Qin's expression froze for a second. He understood that the other party was issuing an order to evict the guest. Chang Qin's scarred heart instantly shattered into countless pieces. He let go of Xi Ling's hand and clenched his fists tightly. Shockingly white, his face was tightly tensed, his complexion was as cold as ice, his eyes were firmly locked on Xi Ling, under the pressure of this piercing gaze, the latter's porcelain-white face flushed slightly, and he had to turn his head to avoid it. open his eyes.

Chang Qin looked at it for a full minute, and finally withdrew his eyes in despair, clenched his molars and spit out a few words: "Don't bother Lawyer Xi, goodbye." After speaking, he grabbed the handle of the suitcase , walked towards the door without looking back, when he passed by Vincent, he narrowed his eyes, gave him a vicious look, moved his lips a few times, but finally closed the door and left without saying a word.

It wasn't until the sound of thumping downstairs in the corridor disappeared without a trace that Xi Ling retreated to the sofa and sat down in frustration.

The outsider Vincent saw it, and asked in puzzlement, "Why are you doing this?"

Xi Ling turned a deaf ear to it, just grabbed the half-read book and continued to read it seriously.

Vincent, who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, ignores the other party's indifference. He ran to the window in two or three steps and looked down. He saw Chang Qin coming out of the corridor and striding into the passing pedestrians. Fortunately, the rain had already stopped. It stopped, but the street was still full of rain, but Chang Qin didn't care about it. He stepped into the puddle a few times, and the dirty muddy water splashed his trouser legs. After walking a few steps, the people downstairs suddenly stopped. Unwillingly, he raised his head again and looked deeply at a certain window on the third floor. Vincent hid behind the curtain in a hurry, pointed his finger out of the window, raised his chin at Xi Ling, and coughed lightly to remind the other party: "Hey, he is upstairs." Let's see you."

Xi Ling's bushy eyelashes trembled slightly, and then turned a page as if nothing had happened.

Vincent shook his head helplessly, poked his head out again, and said to himself, "He's gone, this time he's really gone."

Xi Ling closed the book in his hand, looked at Vincent's back in the backlight, and said softly, "Vincent, please..."

Vincent immediately turned around, opened his hands in front of his chest, and signaled the other party not to continue: "I know, I understand, you can rest assured." After speaking, he went back to the entrance to change his shoes, opened the door and rushed downstairs.

Hearing the door close again, Xi Ling squeezed the space between his brows, and fell back on the sofa wearily.

Chang Qin rushed all the way here recklessly, without doing any homework beforehand, including booking a hotel. In fact, he didn't include this item in the itinerary at all. But the street turned a blind eye. He had already made up his wishful thinking. The reason why he deliberately didn't book the hotel in advance was because he believed that the other party would definitely be soft-hearted. The vulgar way of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself can coax this stubborn guy back to China obediently, but he never expected that when he stood side by side with Vincent, Xi Ling would actually choose the latter. Although he was mentally prepared, his heart ached when he thought of Xi Ling's uncompromising tone and icy face when he asked him to leave just now.

Don't think about it anymore, just pretend that everything is in the past, Chang Qin wiped his face, dragged his suitcase and ran along the bluestone road.

There is a five-star hotel not far from the house where Vincent lives. Chang Qin passed by the magnificent gate of the hotel, hesitated for a long time, and stopped a taxi along the street, told the driver to stay away from this place, and went to find another home hotel.

When Vincent came back home again, Xi Ling changed his calm expression from the past, and just heard the sound of the key being inserted into the keyhole and turned, he ran to the entrance and opened the door from the inside, seeing Vincent outside the door, impatient Asked, "How is it?"

Vincent shrugged his shoulders and said, "He didn't live there, but went to Southwark. Your room is for nothing."

Xi Ling leaned back on the shoe cabinet, took a deep breath, and laughed a few times to himself, then he withdrew his smile, looked at Vincent and asked seriously: "Then you..."

"Don't worry about 120." Vincent patted his chest and promised, "I followed him until he checked into the hotel before leaving."

Only then did Xi Ling heave a sigh of relief, and slowly walked back to the sofa.

Vincent followed up puzzled, and frowned, "I really don't understand what you're thinking. It's you who drove people away, and now you're the one who turns into a stalker and wants to know where they live."

Xi Ling glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Why, do you still want to keep him for a while longer? You have to have a good fight before letting him go? Vincent, are you still a three-year-old child? You always use your fists to solve problems. "

"I'm not cooperating with your request!" Vincent said with a black hair, "Since you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend, should I just watch him teasing you without doing anything?"

Xi Ling was speechless, and pinched his brows wearily again.

"Hey!" Vincent walked over in two or three steps, sat down next to him, and looked at Xi Ling solemnly, "For the sake of my dedication to help you, can you tell me what happened between you and that Chang Qin?" What, you have to break up like this."

"It's nothing." Xi Ling casually picked up the remote control to switch channels, and answered calmly amidst the noisy background music of the TV, "It's enough for me to fall into this pit by myself, and I can't pull him in too. "

"You mean homosexuals?" Vincent laughed speechlessly, "Aren't you thinking too much? Homosexuals are running all over the street now, and I haven't seen anyone throwing acid at them."

"You don't understand." Xi Ling looked at the other party seriously, and explained seriously, "Back then, my father was mad at me because I was gay, even though I once asked Chang Qin to pretend to be my boyfriend, He was vaccinated, and when he faced Chang Qin, he was [-]% satisfied, but afterward, he struggled repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, which made his heart worse and worse, and finally died suddenly at the shareholders meeting. Chang Qin's My parents are still very young, and their ideas are very traditional. The two of them are so kind to me. I can't be so selfish. Because of my own temporary needs, I will drag them both into this abyss of eternal doom. Chang Qin is like this. It comes suddenly and goes quickly. As long as I can hold on to my teeth, he will soon give up and leave me, and then fall in love with a girl who suits him, get married, have children, and live a life that a normal person should live. As for me " Xi Ling chuckled and continued, "I have long been used to living alone and hiding my feelings. I would rather bury it in the darkest corner than expose it to the sun. Defiled by the world."

Vincent sighed lightly, and was speechless in the stubborn eyes of the other party. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Xi Ling, this is really not like you. You were the one who wanted what he wanted without hesitation. Where is it?"

Xi Ling smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered her head and sighed: "I am like this now, what qualifications do I have to go without turning back, I can't even keep my own job..."

Vincent heard that the tip of his heart seemed to have been gouged out by a sharp knife. He approached Xi Ling, stretched out his arms and hugged Xi Ling's thin shoulders tightly, and patted Xi Ling unbearably: "Don't be sad, at least you still have me."

Xi Ling chuckled, then raised her head again: "Don't be so nasty, I really can't bear it."

Vincent twitched the corners of his mouth and glared at him unhappily: "I can never get rid of this sharp-tongued problem, and I don't save any face. That's fine, you don't have to hang your head down. I've already checked Fang Jinwen exit record."

"How is it?" Xi Ling asked hastily.

"With me, Ye Holmes Wensheng, what else can escape my eyes." Vincent raised his eyebrows proudly, "Last month, this guy did come to England."

Xi Ling took a deep breath, and pondered: "It seems that this matter is indeed related to him, but why did he do this? When we were studying under the teacher's school together, I thought I had a good relationship with him, and I never offended him. , but why did he deliberately frame me here?"

"Is there even a need to ask?" Vincent frowned disdainfully, as if even mentioning this name made him sick, "You have occupied the position of elective courses, which is equivalent to taking more than half of the history students in the school into your pocket." Fang Jinwen said that he was born with a good face, and you two are about the same age, so you will naturally be compared by the students. If you think about it, you know that you are definitely more famous in school than him, and he is a professional teacher. But you only take elective courses, with such a disparity in status and inversely proportional evaluation, which makes him feel ashamed and hates you even more. I am not surprised that he can do such a thing. You always say It’s easy for me to trust others, but at least I believe it and know how to look back and doubt others, unlike you, who are slow to vomit blood, and when you really get to know each other, you will go all the way to the dark, and you will never turn back until you hit the south wall.”

Xi Ling rolled his eyes innocently, patted the other's hand off his shoulder, and argued: "I don't have one, I basically don't trust others, so I don't have many friends, and you seem to be the only one. "

"Oh?" Vincent raised his voice and looked at him meaningfully, "Then what is that Chang Qin just now?"

Xi Ling rolled his eyes at him, didn't answer any more, and got up straight to the kitchen.

Chang Qin found a hotel to stay in the Southwark district of London. The hotel was close to the Thames River. Standing in front of the high-rise floor-to-ceiling windows, the scenery around the Thames River was unobstructed. Night had already quietly fallen when he and Xi Ling were secretly angry. , the London Eye with a circle of golden light is still turning slowly tirelessly, the clock face of Big Ben is shining brightly, driving his mission non-stop, and ships with lights are passing from the towering Tower Bridge Passing down, the water on the river is rippling, turning the light reflected in it into a hazy phantom.

After a long day of tossing around, Chang Qin was so tired that he was about to collapse, and he didn't want to enjoy the scenery anymore. He ordered a hamburger and fries in the hotel restaurant, and then went to the bathroom to take a hot shower. After the dinner was served, he finished it hastily , fell down in the big soft bed and fell asleep soundly.

It was after noon the next day that Chang Qin woke up from his sleep. He lay on the bed and stretched his waist. He felt sore and swollen all over. wearing clothes.

The weather outside is gloomy, and it seems that it will rain again at any moment. He is still depressed and really doesn't want to go out, but when he thinks that he has spent a lot of money to come here, he has to leave tomorrow. This is the first time in his life. , just ran away from someone’s house to play with his petty temper and left in a hurry. He didn’t know what other places looked like except around the Thames River. Go out and hitchhike.

As an architect, when Chang Qin came to this city full of historic sites, wherever he went, he would get used to looking at the intricate architectural structures here. The Baroque architectural style pursues freedom and relies on rich decorations to symbolize wealth. Various cumbersome patterns are carved on the surface, and exaggerated colors are used to intersperse the curved surface and oval space to create a mysterious atmosphere; glass painting.There are many famous attractions in London: the British Museum, which collects cultural relics and treasures from all over the world, Westminster Abbey, which is used by members of the royal family to attend weddings, and St. Paul's Cathedral, which represents Baroque architecture... After Chang Qin finished his shopping After all these monuments, the sun had already set on the other side of the earth.

Chang Qin dragged his almost broken body back to the hotel. After wandering around all day, his heart that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed a lot. It was his first time to travel alone when he grew up. The small twists and turns are painful in retrospect. He remembered that Xi Ling would only travel alone every time, and he couldn't help admiring the other party's ability to deal with problems alone, and the inevitable loneliness during the long journey alone.

Chang Qin didn't have the strength to go out for food again, so he called again and ordered takeaway from the hotel restaurant. Not long after, the waiter knocked on his door with a silver trolley. In addition to the steak and red wine he ordered, there was also There was an exquisitely packaged gift box placed side by side in front of Chang Qin.

Chang Qin frowned suspiciously, and asked in rough English, "Did you make a mistake? I only ordered steak and red wine."

"That's right." The waiter answered him in authentic spoken English, "This is a gentleman who specially ordered it to be delivered to your room. Just as you ordered takeaway, I delivered it along the way. Please take it easy. After finishing speaking, he bowed politely, turned and exited the room.

Chang Qin opened the gift box curiously, and saw a sealed cake and a small folding umbrella inside.He carefully took these two things out of the gift box, and then slowly unwrapped the cake. He saw that the cake was very small and exquisite, with a layer of chocolate powder sprinkled on the surface, and a layer of cumbersome carvings covered with white cream. The surrounding circle was sealed with white cream, and the white porcelain plate below was written with chocolate sauce in a circle: "HappyBirthdayChangQin!"

Only then did Chang Qin realize belatedly that today was his birthday. He suddenly remembered that a few months ago, on the day when he learned that Xi Ling was falsely accused by his teacher, he had bought it in a dessert shop in order to make him happy. A large piece of tiramisu was brought home. At that time, Xi Ling jokingly asked if it was his birthday. He answered with black lines, who would buy tiramisu as a birthday cake, and then begged the other party to give him a Birthday Surprise.

As a result, there was a whole tiramisu cake in front of him.

I also got the biggest Surprise in my life.

This sudden gift made Chang Qin feel mixed feelings. There was only one person who could give him such a weird cake. He turned the gift box over, and a thick note fell from the bottom on the table. Picking up the note, I found that it was three Yikepai sheets, which were glued to each other by the glue at the end. A few words were written on them with a pen. , I saw the first one said: Happy birthday!

He tore off the first sheet, and the words on the second sheet jumped out: Remember to bring an umbrella.

Tear off the second one, and the last one is: forget me.
