Scumbag's contract canary

Chapter 60 The Old Lover

Yuan Xi came out of the bathroom, soaked a pack of cold medicine first, and put it on the desk to wait for the water to cool down.

He was a little bit cold, and kept sniffing, making a slight sound.

Harlan sat back on the chair, hugged the back of the chair with both hands, tilted his head and looked at Yuan Xi for a while.Yuan Xi was embarrassed by his stare, so he sent him a message, knowingly asking: What are you doing?

Harlan didn't look at the phone, he clenched his fist against his mouth and cleared his throat: "That... I have to tell you honestly, I saw... that..."

When Harlan said this, he coughed a few times suggestively. Yuan Xi understood, lowered his head, and his ears immediately turned red, which made Harlan feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't get me wrong, I have no prejudice against this, that...is your boyfriend?"

Yuan Xi didn't answer right away, Harun quickly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

Yuan Xi shook his head.

"Huh?" Harlan was surprised.

Yuan Xi sent him a text message and said: We are not considered to be in love.

Harlan stood up from the chair at once, "Talk about it? What do you mean by not talking about it?"

Seeing his reaction, Yuan Xi smiled, but when he saw the dark sky outside the window, his smile quickly faded away.

Harun gave him a very new way of thinking about his relationship with Tang Du. What does it mean to fall in love?At first, Yuan Xi also thought that living together and kissing on the bed didn't count, but they had to eat together far away, travel many times, and celebrate each other's birthdays was very important, and these seemed to be in a gray area.

Yuan Xi would inevitably think that if he and Tang Du met not because of money, but at a certain reception, Yuan Xi saw Tang Du in a suit and leather shoes, and heard that he was very capable at work, out of pure Appreciate getting close, and Tang Du also happens to be interested in him, maybe they can also start from only having sex and not talking about love, will it become a natural love one day, even if they are separated, Yuan Xi can still be with him Harun boldly introduced that Tang Du used to be his boyfriend, rather than not even being able to find a word to describe their relationship.

Tang Du appeared so suddenly, it was unexpected tonight.Yuan Xi didn't dare to recall his actions after meeting Tang Du, especially the kiss that was seen in the stairwell, Yuan Xi couldn't justify himself.

"Look at him, he's very handsome. He's a bit like Andrew, the kind who walks around high-end office buildings in a suit every day, with a few assistants behind him, and has a driver when he goes out," Harlan laughed at himself, and then apologized. , "Still don't judge people by their cover."

Yuan Xi shook his head, Harun guessed right.

"Do you like him? He looks much older than you."

Yuan Xi only explained Harlan's last sentence: Nine years older than me.

In fact, Tang Du didn't talk to Yuan Xi about his age, but Yuan Xi found out later when he searched for Tang Du's name on the web.His resume is line by line, enough to fill the entire screen.

Yuan Xi was stuck with the previous question and couldn't answer it.The ring given by Tang Du was hanging around his neck all the time, and the rope was messed up by Yuan Xi when he was drunk at the time, and had never been changed, so it was never taken off.

The black rope passed through his neck, which made his skin very white. The ring was at the lower part of the collarbone, lifting the clothes a little, and it was easy to see when wearing thin clothes.

He got up and fell back into bed and said to Harlan: I don't know what to do.

"That's okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself, dating should be very enjoyable." Harlan comforted.

So Yuan Xi began to think about the matter between him and Tang Du. Yuan Xi rarely talked with people like this, but when it came to Tang Du's content, Yuan Xi usually couldn't handle it well.

In his eyes, the relationship between Tang Du and himself is like a cog, stuck in an intricate chain, as long as one moves, many others will follow, Yuan Xi watched obsessively, and even studied it for a long time , still can't find the law, rushing to answer it just makes everything worse.

Yuan Xi liked Tang Du, and he had liked Tang Du for a long time.Yuan Xi thought so before.

He would feel uncomfortable because Tang Du's relationship with others was too close or unclear, and he would miss him when Tang Du left him, and would wait for him to eat, peel his shrimps and get his hands dirty, and wanted Tang Du to kiss him, It does not exclude making love.

If there is really a checklist in this world for judging whether a person is in love, then Yuan Xi must have completed many of the contents in an unclear state.

He used this way of thinking to think about whether they had been in love, and came to the conclusion that they should indeed be in love.

So it's not that they broke up, but they really broke up.

Yuan Xi planned to study abroad without telling Tang Du, because he planned to dump Tang Du.

When Tang Du and Yuan Xi said they didn't want him anymore, they really dumped him.

So what did it mean that Tang Du kissed him suddenly, and what did it mean that he accepted Tang Du's kiss.

One question is clear, and the next question is a cloud of fog.

Yuan Xi couldn't figure it out, so he sat up and opened the notebook he used to draw the moon under his pillow. The clouds were heavy today, Yuan Xi didn't see the moon.

He raised his head for a while, then Harlan came over, pulled the curtains and took a look by himself.

"Today's moon is not very easy to draw." He laughed.

Harun knew Yuan Xi's habit of drawing the moon, and later Yuan Xi would simply write some words at the bottom of each painting, which was suggested by Dr. Diana.

Yuan Xi had already started to draw, he planned to draw some black clouds to show that he didn't see the moon today.

Just as the pen tip fell, Harun suddenly let out an "eh", and Yuan Xi saw him leaning forward, reaching out to wipe off the mist on the bed.

"That person... Let's take a look, is it him?"

Yuan Xi paused, subconsciously thinking it was impossible, but his heart was beating hard, and he immediately stood up to watch.At the same time, he was a little afraid of being discovered, so he just looked at the edge of the window.

There was a person standing under the tree next to the street lamp, because it happened to be in the darkness where the light could not reach, so it was indeed difficult for people to spot.

Yuan Xi thought it looked like the shadow, but he wasn't sure.

"Isn't it? Kind of like," Harlan said, "would you like to make a phone call?"

Yuan Xi glanced at the phone, turned on the screen and easily found Tang Du's phone number in the phone's address book.

The note he gave Tang Du was his original name, and there was nothing fancy about it.It's just that Yuan Xi never took the initiative to call anyone, and suddenly it would be very strange. It was after something strange happened, and Yuan Xi couldn't guarantee that it was still a valid number.

Harun seemed to feel that Yuan Xi was hesitant. He took another look downstairs and found that there was a little fire there. cold.He started smoking and felt like he would stand still for a while. "

Harlan's words were very effective, Yuan Xi dialed the number, hid behind the curtain and looked down.

It's not very high from the bottom of the building, and the windows are not so soundproof. Soon Yuanxi heard the ringing of the mobile phone mixed in the wind and snow.

The man under the tree took out his phone, and the lit screen was very conspicuous in the dark.

"Really," Harun patted Yuan Xi's shoulder, glanced at him and then looked over, "Is it him?"

Tang Du answered the phone and called Yuan Xi's name. His side was very quiet, and because the voice was very low, they didn't hear Tang Du's voice on the third floor.

But he was sure that it was him, Yuan Xi hung up the phone, casually took a dry towel lying beside the bed, pulled out a down jacket, put it on and ran away.

Harlan called him a few times behind him, and finally asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"

When Yuan Xi was holding a towel and standing downstairs in the dormitory, being blown by the cold wind to the point where it was useless to shrink his neck and stomp his feet, he still didn't understand why and how he got down.

Tang Du was already planning to leave at that time. After he was hung up, he understood the reason why Yuan Xi called, and he heard footsteps behind him after walking a few steps.

Because of the snow at night, some piled up on the ground, and the sound was a bit loud when walking on it.

Tang Du stopped, took a puff of cigarette before turning around, because everything was unexpected, so his tone was very surprised: "Yuanxi?"

Yuan Xi felt that he was already ashamed enough, and Tang Du wanted to call out his name, so he ran over and threw the towel on Tang Du, and even punched him twice on the shoulder.Yuan Xi had never been a man who knew how to fight, but today he just felt that Tang Du didn't deserve a fight.

Standing in an easy-to-see place to deceive his sympathy, Yuanxi would feel bad if a cat stayed so pitifully in the snow.

Tang Du didn't stop him, let him hit him a few times, and patted him on the back comfortingly. Yuan Xi only waved a few times, and his wrist rested on Tang Du's shoulder and stopped moving. He raised his head and faced Tang Du. After staring at it for a few seconds, flapping his eyelashes a few times, he stretched out his hand and forcefully sucked out the half of Tang Du's cigarette in his mouth, and then kicked his knee with the sole of the plush slippers without making a sound. He said, "Are you sick?"

Tang Du understood his lips, and before he could react, Yuan Xi had already left without looking back.

Yuan Xi quickly went upstairs and returned to the dormitory. Harun opened the door and waited for him. He smiled and said, "I didn't see it, Xi, it's a bit powerful."

Yuan Xi didn't smile at him, he looked around for an ashtray with a cigarette, Harun looked around for him, found it first and handed it to Yuan Xi, and he extinguished the cigarette with Harun's hand.

Hong Xing Shao Xianduijia

It is true that Yuan Xi has been addicted to smoking for a long time, and he quit two or three months ago, so he doesn't even remember the location of the ashtray.

Tang Du’s cigarettes have not been changed yet. His brand is not easy to buy abroad. Over the past year, Yuanxi has tried many alternatives, smoking one after another. At first, he just wanted to find the taste, and then he gradually developed it. Addiction, because I don't have much money, so I choose the cheapest one to smoke.

I haven't tasted the smell of cigarettes for a long time, and it doesn't feel good to try it again suddenly. My throat is itchy and I want to cough but I can't cough it out. The smell is also very irritating.Yuan Xi drank the cold medicine that had cooled down before in one gulp.

Harlan came over and sat beside him on the bed, put his arm around his shoulders and asked, "How do you feel?"

Yuan Xi glanced at him: what about it?

"The feeling that the old love wants to pursue you again."

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Harun actually viewed all Tang Du's actions in this way, but Yuan Xi didn't feel it very obvious, so he thought that Harun was wrong.

Tang Du would not do such a thing, since he knew about Tang Du, he had never done such a thing.

But this is not to say that Tang Du never took the initiative to ask Yuan Xi for anything. In fact, Yuan Xi felt that there were many times like this.At first, Yuan Xi didn't know how to get along with Tang Du, so he always had the idea of ​​exchange. As long as Tang Du gave him something, he should give back what he could, so Tang Du gave Yuan Xi something every time. For things outside the agreement, Yuan Xi would think that Tang Du wanted something from him.

Therefore, Yuan Xi would occasionally kiss him, embrace him, and show a feeling of dependence on him, and then these gradually became natural.

The matter about Tang Du was too complicated, the gears were turning too fast today and it was about to get out of control, Yuan Xi decided not to think about it anymore.

The next meeting with Dr. Diana will be soon, and Yuan Xi hopes to tell her these things.Then the doctor will strictly judge for him what Tang Du wants to do.

Just when Yuan Xi was about to close his eyes and prepare to sleep, the phone rang and the screen lit up.

Yuan Xi reluctantly opened it to see what the news was, and found it was from Tang Du.

There are only two words, which is his name.

Yuanxi.

Since he couldn't understand what Tang Du meant, Yuan Xi didn't reply.

The Christmas holiday is not over yet, and almost all the students are out for the holidays, or they chose to go home, and there are relatively few people in the school.

It was time to pick up the paintings that we had discussed with Professor Allen before, and Yuan Xi was waiting for their people to come over in the studio.What he didn't expect was that Elson arrived in person. He said that Professor Allen had planned to take a walk around the school, but he was not in good health after the temperature dropped recently, and the weather forecast said that there was a high possibility of a snowstorm, so he replaced him. Here comes the professor.

Yuan Xi cared about the professor's body, he knew that almost all the elderly were in this state.

When leaving, Elson and Yuan Xi apologized, saying that he didn't know that Tang Du would come that day, and he didn't help Tang Du.

Elson sounded like he knew something about his separation from Tang Du, but Yuan Xi didn't ask, but accepted his apology.

Harlan will go home in the last week of the holiday. His home is not far from the school, because the weather forecast says that there will be snowstorms, which may affect the power supply and heating problems, and the inability to travel will also affect life, Harlan So he invited Yuan Xi to live in his house.

Yuan Xi hesitated for a while, because he had never had such a close friend, but finally agreed under Harlan's superb persuasion skills.

Because it didn't take long to go, Yuan Xi didn't bring any clothes, only a simple pocket.

Harun's mother, Ada, drove to pick them up, chatting with Yuan Xi enthusiastically on the way.Yuan Xi found that Harun's personality was more or less inherited from his mother, and they were both very cheerful people.

Harun's home is a small villa with a large garden outside. Because it is winter, the trees are all withered, but his mother said that there are many flowers planted here, and he can be invited to come and see it again in spring.

Harlan led him into the room prepared for him. The lighting was good, and the garden could just be seen from below.

After living in for two or three days, the snow became obviously heavier. Every morning Yuanxi opened his eyes to check the weather conditions, and then stared out the window for a while.

He didn't forget to take the sketchbook with him, and he still remembered to go to the moon and write simple words in bad weather.

On the first night when it was announced that the road was closed due to the blizzard, Ada cooked a very sumptuous dinner for them. Harlan's father also came back. The atmosphere at the table was very good. Yuan Xi found it interesting to listen to their chat.

After washing up, Harlan asked Yuan Xi to play in his room for a while. Before going to bed, Yuan Xi was about to leave, but when he arrived at the door, he suddenly received a text message from Elson, which said that Professor Alan had an accident and was lying in the hospital now. There is no one to take care of him. The hospital is relatively close to Yuanxi school. I hope he can go and have a look, and I will be there soon.

Yuan Xi immediately went back to the room, Harun saw that his expression was not right and asked what was wrong, Yuan Xi directly showed him the text message.

Harlan finished reading quickly and said, "Go and change first, and I'll ask Mom."

Yuan Xi was unfamiliar with everything except the school, so he could only turn to Harun for help at this time.

He went back to his room and quickly changed his clothes. When he came out, Ada stood in the living room and comforted him: "The driver has been found, and there are not many roads that are closed now. You can get there after a detour."

Yuan Xi clasped his hands together as a gesture of thanks. Harun said he would go with him, but Yuan Xi sternly refused.

After wrapping up the scarf, Yuan Xi took a thick and big umbrella given by Ada and went out.

The snow and wind were also strong, which blew the already heavy umbrella upside down.Yuan Xi opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a car parked on the side of the road, covered with a lot of snow in just a few minutes.

The situation got better after getting into the car. The driver said apologetically, "Safety comes first at this time, so it may be slower."

Yuan Xi nodded.

There were no pedestrians on the road at all, and a small number of cars drove cautiously. Yuan Xi clenched his fists, and a sense of uneasiness rose from his heart.

More than 20 minutes into the car, Yuan Xi received a text message from Tang Du, first asking him: Did Elson let you go there?

Yuan Xi felt that this was a question that needed to be answered, so he quickly answered: Yes.

Tang Du posted again: It's too nonsense, tell the driver to drive slowly, I'll be right over.

Tang Du sent him his location and estimated time, and Yuan Xi took a rough look.

In order to prevent Tang Du from only focusing on exhorting him and forgetting to restrain himself, Yuan Xi said: I see.

The car finally arrived at the hospital safely. In order to thank the driver for his help, Yuan Xi paid double the price.

According to what Elson posted later, he found the department where Professor Allen was in. According to the nurse, Allen had been pushed into the operating room.

Yuan Xi never had the experience of waiting outside the operating room. His parents died on the spot in a car accident, and he didn't even have the chance to enter the operating room for rescue.

The corridor was very empty, a TV broadcasting news was placed in the middle, the sound was especially loud, Yuan Xi sat alone on the chair, and slowly recovered his breath.

Professor Alan has the kindness to know Yuan Xi, he is a teacher Yuan Xi respects very much, he does not want him to have an accident.

Although Alan's situation is very different from that of his parents, the things that Yuan Xi needs to face are similar--death, which no one in this world can avoid.

Standing in front of death again, Yuan Xi was still very scared, and still didn't make much progress.

The hospital was like a huge freezer to him, always making Yuan Xi feel unwell, from cold to suffocating.

After waiting for more than 30 minutes, the lights in the operating room had not been turned off. Elson said that the road he was walking was blocked, and it would take a long time to get there.

After Yuan Xi read the news, his heart arose. He was very afraid that Alan was seriously ill, and the doctor asked him about his decision to have an operation.

However, what he was afraid of happened. The doctor asked him if he was a family member. Yuan Xi shook his head and called Elson immediately.

But Elson's phone was inexplicably unable to be connected. After repeating this several times, the doctor urged that the situation was critical and a decision needed to be made immediately, so Yuan Xi called Tang Du.

Tang Du still didn't answer, Yuan Xi panicked.

He dialed a second time, and the ring rang for more than 30 seconds. Yuan Xi couldn't wait any longer, so he hung up and called again.

The family members could not be contacted, but the doctor still decided to start treatment immediately, re-entered the operating room, and the light on the sign was on.

Yuan Xi still didn't give up calling Tang Du. For the third time, he looked around in a daze, and glanced at the TV.

The content of the news was that a utility pole collapsed, and the place where it happened was on Tangdu's only way to the hospital.

The picture in the news showed that three cars were crushed under the electric pole. Yuan Xi didn't know if there was Tang Du inside. He only knew that after repeatedly confirming the content of the news, he seemed to have lost all his senses and could not hear the people around him. And the voice on the phone, my eyes are blurred, I no longer feel cold, and I don't know how to think.

This state lasted for as long as 1 minute before Yuan Xi came back to his senses during the nurse's questioning.

"Do you need any help?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, took two or three steps back and sat back on the chair.

He tried his best to control himself not to think wildly, the probability of such an event is not high, with so many cars passing by on the road, how can it be guaranteed that Tang Du must be among those three cars?

Tang Du would not have any accidents easily. Since he knew to remind Yuanxi to be careful on the road, he would pay attention to it himself.

Yuan Xi glanced at the time, nearly 10 minutes had passed since the time Tang Du told him.

But it's normal for the snowstorm to be late, Yuan Xi thought again.

Tang Du is so rich, he will definitely hire a reliable driver for himself.

It will be all right.

Tang Du could survive no matter what.

Yuan Xi stared at the TV screen closely, wanting to know more about the accident, but the news quickly changed the content of the broadcast.

He started to look it up on the Internet, and because it had just happened, he didn't have any other information except a press release.

When Yuan Xi began to panic slowly, Elson finally replied to him, saying that he was already at the traffic light outside the hospital and would be there soon.

Yuan Xi asked him if he knew about Tang Du's news, and Elson even said that he didn't know Tang Du would come.

Yuan Xi never imagined that he would have such a day. Sitting still felt like his hands and feet were bound, and his heart was like clockwork thinking the same thing over and over again. The reasons he used to convince himself were exactly the same but kept repeating.

He thought that the day he went to move the grave for his parents with Tang Du, he was actually doing something rebellious. It turned out that Tang Du had occupied an extremely important position in Yuan Xi's heart since then.

On the day at the airport, Yuan Xi heard words from Tang Du that were enough to be selected as TOP1 in "The Most Sad Words for Yuan Xi", and he was forced to experience a moment that he wanted to forget all the time in the past year and a half. It became the crux of many diseases in Yuanxi.

But after so many things that Tang Du made Yuan Xi unhappy, Yuan Xi still couldn't accept Tang Du's departure.

He sat alone in front of the operating room, facing the most frightening thing in the world, which was waiting for sentencing.

Yuan Xi lowered his head, had no cigarette on his body, bit his lips anxiously, and crossed his hands tightly. He heard footsteps coming from the corridor, estimated the time, and thought that Elson must have arrived.

Anyway, here comes Elson.

Yuan Xi raised his head, he was sitting at the corner of the corridor, and he could see the end of the corridor at a glance.

Every door was closed tightly, and bright white lights were shining on the walls.

And the person he had worried about for a long time was walking towards him, with black boots making heavy noises on the ground, and his eyes were sharp.

Yuan Xi stood up slowly, telling himself that it was best to control all behaviors.

Tang Du walked up to him, first touched his face with his cold fingers, and asked, "Are you undergoing surgery?"

Yuan Xi nodded, his eyes were distracted.

Tang Du looked at him for a while and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Yuan Xi didn't respond, he opened his mouth slightly, and Tang Du guessed that he said "Oh".

"Is the professor serious?" Tang Du asked again.

Yuan Xi didn't think clearly about the reason why he asked, because he couldn't see his pale face at the moment.

"Don't worry, the doctor is here," Tang Du coaxed him, Yuan Xi took a small step forward, and Tang Du hugged him, "I'm here too."

Looking over Tang Du's shoulder, Yuan Xi saw that the TV was no longer broadcasting news.

Tang Du's body was very cold, so cold that he wanted to suck away all the warmth that Yuan Xi had left after staying in the hospital for a long time, so that they could stay so cold together.

Yuan Xi wanted to ask Tang Du why he didn't answer the phone, but suddenly realized that there was another unclear hug between them.

He wanted to remind Tang Du that he had paid back the money Tang Du gave him. Although he became poor again now, he would be able to live well by selling paintings in the future.

Yuan Xi is no longer a person with nothing, Tang Du can't always be like this.

Because Yuan Xi felt that there was no movement, Tang Du tilted his head slightly, and used the excuse of talking to him to touch his forehead with his lips. "It's too cold on you."

Tang Du was talking nonsense, it was clear that he was the coldest.

Yuan Xi pushed him away, and suddenly decided not to pay attention to Tang Du, leaving him alone to punish him for losing contact.
