Qi Jin has always avoided appearing in front of women with Shen Yan at the same time, in fact, he has his reasons.

——Because I don't know if there will be any flaws.

——Because I don't know how to explain the real relationship between them.

He had never confessed to a woman that he was Shen Yan's someone, and the first time he chatted, he was just connecting with Shen Yan as a "friend".

Women think so too.

So when she saw these two hugging each other from a distance, a moment of confusion appeared on her face.Then, it slowly changed from confusion to an expression between surprise and fear, standing in front of the door like a clay sculpture.

Qi Jin felt a slight numbness in her spine, and a chill ran through her, making her unable to move at all.

The hand that had just been attached to Shen Yan's back was released reflexively.

Even so, it was too late——

"Ugh..."

In desperation, the on-the-spot adaptability cultivated during work forced him to react, his knees bent slightly again, and at the same time he groaned in pain, and grabbed Shen Yan's sleeve with a look of stumbled and unable to stand.

"No, I'm still dizzy... It's so uncomfortable, I'm sorry."

He said, let the woman hear what he said, and make it look like he was completely supported by Shen Yan, so as to confuse the hugging action.

From the corner of my eye, I could see the woman was stunned, followed by a look of sudden realization - there was an element of "peace of mind" in it.

Qi Zhen saw everything in his eyes, and slowly lowered his head while lying between Shen Yan's arms.

"Are you okay?" The woman asked with concern, walking towards them.Qi Jin's complexion is indeed not very good, a little pale, but the actions and lines just now are very convincing.

When Shen Yan heard the word "dizziness", she was taken aback for a moment, until a woman's voice sounded from behind, and then she suddenly understood.He didn't say anything, he still helped him up, and silently cooperated with Qi Rong to perform the scene to the end, but the fingers holding Qi Rong's arm tightened slightly.

Due to Qi Zhi's "unwell body", the dinner ended in a hurry, and the three of them didn't chat much during the dinner.

Women seldom speak on their own initiative, but Shen Yan doesn't speak at all. Qi Yu dutifully plays the role of a patient with "an old trouble attack", and sits quietly eating by the side like a machine.

After the meal, the woman asked Qi Jin to go home and have a good rest, and Qi Jin took the opportunity to agree and got up to leave.

Just as she was about to leave by herself, Shen Yan gently stood up from her seat at this moment: "I'll see you off."

It would seem strange to refuse at this time.Qi Jin then smiled slightly, although the smile was a bit rough: "Okay, thank you..."

After leaving the door, the two of them didn't use the elevator, and walked down the fire escape one after the other, neither of them opened the conversation.

Qi Min followed behind Shen Yan, keeping her eyes on his back.

After getting used to walking side by side, such an angle made his chest tight and uncomfortable.But compared to this, what is more difficult is the long gap in language between each other - there was such a gap before, but at that time it was because of a tacit understanding, because you can enjoy the warmth that flows quietly, not because you have nothing to say can be said.

Nothing to say.

Qi Jin smiled wryly, never expecting that they would use this adjective one day.

He felt compelled to speak: "I'm afraid."

Shen Yan paused, and stopped on the steps.

Qi Jin finished speaking slowly: "I'm afraid... when your back is turned to me, I'm afraid."

Shen Yan didn't make a sound, just sighed softly, and when she turned her head, she saw Qi Chen standing motionless in the stairway with her eyelids lowered, feeling a little distressed for a while.He turned around and walked back a few steps until he took Qi Jin's hand: "I'm not angry, and I'm not ignoring you."

Hearing this, Qi Jin suddenly felt sore in her heart, full of things she wanted to say, but the only thing she really said was: "Don't worry."

Shen Yan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but after a while, she seemed to understand what he meant, and she frowned in silence.

"I don't want you to hide it forever, but the timing is not right now." Qi Wei said hoarsely, "Your mother is going to have an operation tomorrow, and now is the critical period, any psychological burden will become her physical burden, in case You will definitely not have a good time if something goes wrong...so don't worry, take it step by step to be steadfast."

His hand slowly shook Shen Yan's, as if comforting him.But in fact, the uneasiness in his own heart is no less than that of the other party.

"En." After a long time, Shen Yan finally responded.

Hearing that he agreed, Qi Zhen breathed a sigh of relief silently, and said with a wry smile: "Your mother finally started to repair the relationship with you slowly, and her mood improved. I don't want to be at this time..."

The words are not finished, and there is no need to finish them.

Shen Yan should understand.

Qi Jin leaned forward slightly, resting her head on Shen Yan's shoulder.Shen Yan silently stretched out her hands to hug him back, the obviously normal but long-lost body temperature made him murmur: "There are some things you haven't experienced, but I have experienced... I don't want you to try it once. "

"Yeah." Thinking of the situation at Qi Jin's house, Shen Yan's voice softened.

"To be honest, it doesn't matter what your mother's attitude is. What matters is the attitude of the two of us, because this is the relationship between the two of us, maintained by us, not her." So he cared more than coming out The impact of their future work on the relationship between them.

"Ah."

At this time, Qi Yu lightly rubbed against his neck like a cat.Very subtle, but really coquettish.

"You say we're... arguing?"

Shen Yan laughed softly when he heard the words: "It doesn't count."

After a pause, he added, "I know you're thinking about the long-term, so there's nothing to be angry about."

——So refusing an internship is also a long-term plan.

Qi Zhen found such a "justifiable reason" for herself, and suddenly the sense of guilt on her shoulders was not so heavy, her brows gradually relaxed, and she smiled relievedly at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan didn't know what Qi Jin was laughing at.

Before Qi Jin was with him, she was a person who was used to taking care of everything by herself and enduring it by herself.He knew this from the beginning.

It's just that these days, Qi Jin's dependence on him has grown deeper and deeper, and all kinds of trivial matters in life have been entrusted to him, making him almost forget this characteristic of Qi Jin.

If his door had been shut a little louder that night, he might not have discovered this trait again.

When I got home from the hospital, it was completely dark.When Shen Yan opened the door, the living room was pitch black, with no lights on, which surprised him a little.Usually at this time, Qi Xi usually sits in front of the TV and watches the news, but she is not here at this moment... Could it be that she is asleep?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yan grabbed the doorknob with his hand and closed the door gently.

If Qi Xun is really asleep, it would be bad to wake him up.

But he was wrong.

Qi Jin didn't sleep because the light in the bedroom was still on.Shen Yan took off his coat and shoes, and walked over to open the bedroom door while wondering.There was no one in the room, only the faint voices of people speaking from the balcony, and the one I was already familiar with, only the back and forth pacing that appeared when I was meditating—it turned out that Qi Wei was Call outside.

Shen Yan could hear that his pacing voice was slightly different from usual, it was muffled, as if he was engaged in a difficult ideological struggle, he couldn't help being taken aback, subconsciously walked lightly, and quietly came to the wall.

"I do not know what to do."

This is the first sentence that I heard clearly.

Qi Jin's voice can also be heard clearly, much lower than usual, and a little hoarse - that's a typical expression of suppressing one's emotions.

Shen Yan's heart trembled slightly, and she held her breath to listen again.

Qi Yu should be the person on the other side of the phone answering. She didn't speak for a long time, but said "hmm" two or three times during the period, and finally sighed: "I understand what you said. In fact, our director also said I was confused, saying that I lost such a good development opportunity for nothing, but..."

Here, another pause.A pause of only three seconds made Shen Yan feel that after three hours, the auditory nerves were going to be paralyzed, hanging up and down.

And the last sentence seemed to slap hard on the numb place, making him tremble.

"As soon as I thought about going to Beijing for three years, I couldn't continue thinking about it. I... couldn't leave here, leave Shen Yan."

Shen Yan took a step back in a daze and stopped.

He spent a few seconds silently digesting the amount of information in Qi Xi's words, and when he realized what the other party might be saying, he didn't know how to accept it.

Qi Yu said that she didn't want to leave her.So... should you be happy?

It should have been like this, but in connection with the previous content, it is impossible to be selfish and happy with peace of mind.

Through the window, I faintly saw Qi Yu standing under the clothes hanging on the balcony, standing in the position where he once said that he would become an old man sitting there basking in the sun.

Shen Yan had mixed feelings for a moment, unable to move for a long time.

The people outside the balcony didn't know he was there, and continued to talk: "You can take your time in the future about work and so on. I'll try to get local opportunities. If it doesn't work, it's not bad to apply for transfer to other departments first, just the salary. It won't go up...huh? What...you want me to ask him what he means? Sigh, I don't know how to say it..."

Why don't you speak?

Why not discuss it?

Shen Yan frowned, couldn't help reaching for the handle of the door leading to the balcony, but couldn't make up his mind to go out hastily.

And what Qi Min said next made him unable to take this step even more.

"I know what he is most afraid of - what he is most afraid of is that I leave him. Even if he doesn't say it, I can probably guess that he wants me to stay. But he is too considerate. If I ask him Opinion, he will definitely say something like 'don't worry about me, you can go' and then suffer the loneliness of being separated for three years in silence, I don't want to single-handedly create this situation."

Shen Yan's hand lost its balance, and slowly brushed across the doorknob, returning to its original position.

"His family is here, and he is a very family-oriented person. I dare not and don't want to ask him if he will give up everything, including the house, work, and memories, and then follow me..."

Qi Jin's voice was hoarse when he spoke, which shows that this kind of psychological struggle has exhausted him.

"I don't have to go to this internship opportunity. Let's wait a little longer. I'm not in a hurry for a career. At present, I just want to cherish the people in front of me, and I don't care about other things for the time being."

"fool."

Shen Yan murmured softly, there was no blame, only pity.

Without making a sound, he quietly withdrew from the wall and exited the bedroom, closed the door and returned to the living room.He took out his packed coat and shoes again, and simply put them on.

Then he opened the door and closed it with a bang.

After doing this, he waited quietly without saying a word.Sure enough, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the bedroom, getting closer and closer, so he gestured with his hands as if he was taking off his coat. At this moment, Qi Jin opened the door and came out, and saw him standing at the door with a light smile on his face. Light bloom: "Are you back?"

"Well, I just got back."

Shen Yan nodded, and hung the coat on the hook for the second time this evening, and put the shoes back in the shoe cabinet for the second time.

He kept his tone in the most ordinary state, and he couldn't hear anything strange at all: "Have you eaten?"

"Well, just warm up the leftovers in the refrigerator and eat."

"What are you doing, dubbing?" He asked, his tone so faint that he couldn't tell that he was asking knowingly.

"Ah, no, I was on the phone with my junior sister just now." Sure enough, the person on the call was Ning Xiaoxiao.That's right, she is basically the only one who knows the real relationship between the two of them in reality and is familiar with Qi Ni enough to discuss these things.

Shen Yan didn't ask what they talked on the phone at all, so Qi Yan felt relieved, and asked a few words about the woman's preparations before the operation, and what the doctor told Yunyun, and finally said considerately: "You have been tired all day, first Go take a bath to warm up your body. Tomorrow is a big day, so go to bed early."

Everything is no different from the normal relationship between the two of them, if Shen Yan didn't have a heavy stone in his heart——

Shen Yan lowered her eyes silently, and went to take a bath as she said.

After he came out of the shower, he went into the room to get a hair dryer while wiping his hair, but saw Qi Zhen sitting on the ground, dragging out the suitcase he brought from the apartment at some point, and using the light to slowly Looking for something.A closer look revealed that he was looking for medicine.

Shen Yan was taken aback.

Those were stomach medicines, pain relievers, over-the-counter sleeping pills, etc. — things I thought I would never use again.

Qi Min looked up and saw him standing there staring at the bottles and cans on the ground, and was taken aback for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Ah... the day after tomorrow is my last visit, if everything is normal, I will return The day of the unit is not far away. So it is better to find out these things in advance, so as not to forget them in time."

No, Qi Xi.

These are not the point-

Shen Yan clenched her hands slightly, as if her heart was clenched by invisible hands.He couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

Qi Jin paused when she heard the words, then subconsciously lowered her head to fiddle with the medicine bottle, avoiding the topic: "No."

Shen Yan looked at him without moving, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Qi Yu, do you know that you dare not look into my eyes when you are guilty?"

Qi Min was hit by his words, and the hand holding the medicine bottle trembled slightly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and raise his eyes.Shen Yan's pair of dark and penetrating pupils, with straight eyes, can easily make his guilt well up, which is the reason why he dare not look at each other.

Unexpectedly... Shen Yan had already figured out his habits and knew where his weaknesses were.

Qi Jin had to smile and surrender: "Well, you're right... I really feel guilty."

Shen Yan didn't smile, but frowned and asked again: "What happened?"

Living under the same roof, I can see that I continue to be a reporter as long as I pay attention to the daily schedule. There is no way to hide it. Shen Yan will know it sooner or later.So Qi Jin decided to tell part of the truth frankly: "My application to be a host...was not approved by the higher authorities."

Shen Yan was startled.He had heard about the three-year trip to Beijing, but this was the first time he had heard of it.

Seeing that he was stunned, Qi Jin comforted him in turn: "It's okay, the reporter is the reporter. Anyway, I have accumulated a lot of experience, and it is relatively smooth. The only downside is that the work schedule is bound to be abusive." , but I will try my best to adjust my schedule.”

That being said, it's not the first day as a reporter, and sometimes it's completely force majeure when the task is assigned and the sky is dark.

Qi Jin didn't have enough confidence in what she said, and she forced a smile.

Shen Yan just looked at him silently, looking at his face under the light.

He had seen this face before, thin and lifeless.I have also seen that kind of eyes that seem to have no desires and desires, and are almost world-weary.

After these days of recuperation, the food he ate was healthy and nutritious, and the quality of his sleep gradually improved. Qi Zhi’s physical and mental state was many times better than when he just moved here. Most of what I recalled was him laughing. look like.For example, now, when a thin layer of light envelops the locks of black hair, the texture of the hair looks much glossier than before.

——It feels soft and comfortable.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reached out and stroked it.

"What's the matter?" Qi Min was taken aback for a moment, and soon his surprise turned into a smile, and he bent the corners of his eyes to enjoy the tenderness flowing between his fingers.

"Miss you." Shen Yan said softly.

Qi Min didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and her ears turned red all of a sudden.

"Isn't it right in front of you?" He lowered his head in embarrassment, but he slowly leaned over and touched the chest, "What's there to think about?"

Thinking of you from before——Shen Yan thought to himself.

Thinking of Qi Rong who had suffered from stomach problems two or three times not long after he came here.At that time, I still refrained from speaking, my face turned pale, and I curled up in a ball on the bed, only to be discovered at the end.While feeling distressed, he cooked stomach-warming food for Qi Yu to take care of, and it took him a long time to raise him well.

She thought of Qi Jin who fell asleep next to her every night.The sleep state is much more stable than before, but it is still relatively shallow, and he would wake up in the middle of the night from time to time, and gently slip back into his arms...he knew it all.

At this time, he knew what the decision in his heart was.
