After rebirth, I sent scum to the crematorium
Chapter 59 End of Text
#059
Time goes from autumn to winter, from winter to autumn, and another year passes in a blink of an eye.
Qi Ningyu has completely gotten used to the city's treacherous and changeable weather. He went to work in unlined clothes yesterday, but today he felt cold even with a jacket on.
When I came back from get off work at night, I sneezed three times when I opened the door, and suddenly there was a "bang" from behind.
He hurriedly looked back and found that someone was moving again. He was almost scared off by the furniture in other people's hands when he sneezed just now.
It has been almost a year since he came back from Huocheng, and he has been living in the rented house since Xue Yuan left.
There are only two households on the first floor, and he knows that the opposite side was actually bought by Xing Yuchuan, and it has been vacant for a year.
Suddenly someone moved, either Xing Yuchuan sold the house, or——
"Ning Yu."
Qi Ningyu suddenly heard Xing Yuchuan's voice, turned around and saw Xing Yuchuan behind the moving workers.
Xing Yuchuan stood upright by the wall, smiling at him with the corners of his mouth raised, his hair was cut short, and he was wearing casual casual clothes. Compared with when he was injured, he recovered a lot, he was not so thin, he didn't look seriously injured, and he was gone The gloom of his departure.
On the day he came back from Huocheng, Xing Yuchuan sent him off, and it was the only time they said goodbye properly.Before he got on the plane, Xing Yuchuan hugged him tightly for a minute. He thought that Xing Yuchuan would regret it in the end, but he only said "Take care" to him.
And this year, Xing Yuchuan didn't bother him again, he thought they would never see each other again, Xing Yuchuan "died" once and let him go.
He and Xing Yuchuan were fundamentally not suitable people. Those 18 years were nothing more than a habit developed from childhood to adulthood. This may be the best ending for them.
However, he was not surprised to see Xing Yuchuan appearing in front of him again.
"Ning Yu, long time no see."
Xing Yuchuan walked in front of him, as if an old friend was reunited.
He felt that Xing Yuchuan was completely different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different, so he looked at the opposite door and asked, "You want to move here?"
Xing Yuchuan generously admitted, "The group has opened a branch here, and will focus on developing projects here in the future, so I am here."
Qi Ningyu looked at Xing Yuchuan suspiciously, Xing Yuchuan probably saw what he was thinking, and admitted frankly: "It's also to get closer to you."
Xing Yuchuan spoke so bluntly, but instead he had no words to answer. He glanced at Xing Yuchuan, opened the door and went in, and then closed the door.
Xing Yuchuan stood in front of the closed door in a daze, regretting that he shouldn't have spoken so directly just now, and made Qi Ningyu angry.
The door in front of him suddenly opened again, Qi Ningyu stood in the door frame, looked out and looked at him and asked: "Are you fully recovered from your injury? Is there anything—"
"I'm ready."
Xing Yuchuan hurriedly proved that he jumped twice on the spot like stepping on a trampoline, performed a circle, and then raised his sleeves to expose his arms, showing Qi Ningyu his recovered skin. The burn marks are not easy to find unless you look carefully.
"Congratulations, don't bother you and move."
Qi Ningyu looked at Xing Yuchuan speechlessly, feeling that Xing Yuchuan seemed to be more lively and childish.He didn't want to say any more, so he stepped back and closed the door.
He didn't think much about Xing Yuchuan, and made something to eat as usual, then read the news, ran on the treadmill, took a shower and went to bed.
The next day, when going to work in the morning, Qi Ningyu met Xing Yuchuan at the door.
"Ning Yu, good morning."
Xing Yuchuan seemed to meet a neighbor by chance and greeted him, he didn't think about whether Xing Yuchuan did it on purpose, and replied, "Morning".
They went downstairs together, said goodbye to Xing Yuchuan in the garage, and went to drive separately.
Qi Ningyu finally bought a scooter. As soon as he arrived at the company, Lin Shao excitedly pulled him along.
"Ayu, the financing mentioned earlier has been negotiated, and the funder's father will come today!"
Qi Ningyu knows that Lin Shao has always wanted to go public, and the company has developed well in the past year. It has grown from dozens of people to hundreds of people.
However, Lin Shao has always been secretive about the financing this time, and every time he asked him, he replied "you will know when the time comes".
When the people from the financing party came in the afternoon, Qi Ningyu really knew about it.
Xing Yuchuan came in through the company gate together with others, and the employees who were there when Xing Yuchuan was in the company were shocked.Before Xing Yuchuan stopped coming suddenly, they felt that there was some story behind it, and now they saw Xing Yuchuan again and immediately made up a big drama in their brains.
Qi Ningyu was not surprised, he vaguely thought of it when he saw Xing Yuchuan yesterday.
During the negotiation process, Qi Ningyu didn't regard Xing Yuchuan as someone he knew, and Xing Yuchuan didn't seem to intend to let him down. It was originally a matter of a table, but later it became a game between the two of them.
The people in the conference room unconsciously quieted down to watch the confrontation between the two, giving them a feeling that the two did not seem to be negotiating, but were competing with each other with years of old grudges.
In the end, both parties achieved the desired results, successfully signed the contract, and the atmosphere instantly eased.
Lin Shao heaved a sigh of relief, he thought Qi Ningyu was going to quarrel with Xing Yuchuan, so he quickly smoothed things over, "Boss Xing, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Xing Yuchuan nodded, and glanced at Qi Ningyu next to Lin Shao.
"Eat hot pot?"
Lin Shao's favorite is hot pot, so he immediately said: "What's the problem! You come here to eat hot pot, Ayu, right!"
Qi Ningyu looked at Xing Yuchuan. Xing Yuchuan's taste has always been light, he doesn't like heavy and greasy food, and he definitely can't eat the hot pot here.
But Xing Yuchuan had no problem on his face, he didn't ask any more questions, and said directly: "Boss Xing said yes, so let's go."
So, at night, they took people from the financing party to eat hot pot. Lin Shao did not go to the authentic old hot pot restaurant that had been open for decades on the side of the road like he did when he took Qi Ningyu to eat this time, but went to a rather famous chain store. I specially ordered the mandarin duck pot.
Except for a few people from their company, the others at the table were all foreigners. When they were seated, Lin Shao deliberately let Xing Yuchuan sit next to Qi Ningyu.
Qi Ningyu just took one look at Lin Shao and sat down, Lin Shao enthusiastically chatted with the others, as if he isolated them.
The hot dishes in the pot were ready, and Qi Ningyu saw that Xing Yuchuan had put some in the red soup, so she couldn't help asking, "Can you eat?"
Xing Yuchuan nodded, and ate with a normal expression.
Qi Ningyu was a little surprised, he scalded two pieces of hairy belly in the red soup and gave it to Xing Yuchuan, "Boss Xing, try it?"
Xing Yuchuan didn't change his face, picked it up, ate it, and didn't show any expression of being too spicy or not tasty, and turned his head to look at him with a smile, and said triumphantly: "I've eaten there several times. , I found that what you said is right, after you try it, you will know that many things are different from what you think."
"Then you eat more."
After Qi Ningyu said this, Xing Yuchuan really ate too much. In the end, he was so spicy that he grabbed the beer glass on the table and drank a glass, and then said, "Ningyu, it's so spicy!"
Qi Ningyu felt that Xing Yuchuan seemed to be a different person, because the tutor Xing Yuchuan was very particular about eating and drinking since he was a child, and he never made such actions. He couldn't help thinking about what Xing Yuchuan had done this year.
In the end, the hot pot meal was finished harmoniously, no one got drunk, and everyone walked out of the hot pot restaurant soberly.
"It's raining."
Lin Shao looked outside and said something before going to the hot pot restaurant to borrow an umbrella. This is a commercial center, and parking is particularly difficult, so they all parked elsewhere when they came.
When Lin Shao came back to share the umbrellas, he missed one.
Xing Yuchuan said: "I'm drunk, Ning Yu and I are on the way, I can take his car."
Lin Shao originally thought so too, but he didn't say it, and looked at Qi Ningyu meaningfully.
Qi Ningyu took the umbrella and said, "Let's go."
Lin Shao didn't have enough parking spaces, so he parked farther away, on the other side of the square, so he and Xing Yuchuan walked alone.
They held umbrellas side by side and walked into the night rain.
There were very few people in the square at night, and the smooth ground was covered with rainwater, reflecting the surrounding lights. It felt like the neon lights of the city were soaked, and the umbrellas above the head were constantly being slammed by the falling raindrops.
"...The parting is always in September, and the memory is the sorrow of missing...I never forgot you in that rainy little town..."
Qi Ningyu heard the singing in the square, and subconsciously looked over, there was a young man singing while holding a guitar in the rain, as if he was not in the same world as the hurried pedestrians around him.
When he passed by, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times. It wasn't Xue Yuan, but it reminded him of Xue Yuan.
"Ning Yu, wait."
Xing Yuchuan suddenly stopped him, handed him the umbrella, ran to the singer, swept the money for him, and said something.
Then, the singer changed to another song.
"... Butin the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you..."
Qi Ningyu looked at the singer singing in the rain, and sang the love song a bit lonely. The drizzle floated down and was reflected by the street lamps, which was reflected in the colorful neon around it, like an oil painting with a contrast between cold and warm.
Xing Yuchuan ran back, got under the umbrella, and stood side by side with him listening to the singer sing.
He suddenly asked: "Who told you that you can order songs?"
"I found out after listening to it a few times."
Qi Ningyu glanced sideways at Xing Yuchuan, and didn't ask any more questions. After the singer finished singing, he turned and left holding his umbrella. Xing Yuchuan suddenly grabbed his hand.
"I'll take the umbrella."
Only then did Qi Ningyu realize that Xing Yuchuan's shoulders and hair were half wet, so he handed over the umbrella, but Xing Yuchuan took the umbrella but didn't cover himself a little bit more.
So they walked to the parking lot, drove, and went back.
On the way, Qi Ningyu was silent, and Xing Yuchuan didn't say a word. He sat in the passenger seat and glanced at him from time to time. No one said a word until he got out of the car and went upstairs.
When Qi Ningyu walked to the door and was about to open it, Xing Yuchuan suddenly stopped him behind him.
"Ning Yu."
When he turned his head, Xing Yuchuan said to him, "Good night."
"Good night."
Qi Ningyu replied, and the two went into the room separately.
In this way, they became neighbors, and the time changed from the beginning of autumn to the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year was about to begin.
Qi Ningyu feels that Xing Yuchuan has really changed in the past few months, not only his attitude, but also his character. He has become less aggressive, less paranoid, and no longer said those repeated words to him.
They get along like ordinary friends, Xing Yuchuan occasionally helps him take the courier together, occasionally helps him take care of the potted plants when he is on a business trip, occasionally sends him food from Aunt Lan, occasionally walks back together when they meet on the road, and occasionally meets on weekends. Will eat hot pot with Lin Shaoyue.
"Everyone has worked hard this year. I wish you all a good year in advance. See you next year."
Lin Shao's speech is over, the company's annual meeting is also over, and everyone is officially on vacation.
When the show was over, Lin Shao asked Qi Ningyu, "Ayu, what are your plans for the New Year?"
Qi Ningyu couldn't answer for a moment, this year was the first time he celebrated the New Year alone.
He lived with his parents when he was a child, and even the two years at Qi's house were always lively and peaceful. For the next 18 years, he spent with Xing Yuchuan, with Xue Yuan the year before last, and went to Lin Shao's house for lunch last year.
But this year Lin Shao has a girlfriend, and he will go to his girlfriend's house during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Lin Shao joked, "If you weren't so handsome, I would have taken you to my girlfriend's house."
He couldn't help laughing, and Lin Shao said again: "Why don't you go to my house, my parents like you."
There are brothers and sisters in Lin Shao's family, Qi Ningyu refused: "I have already bought a plane ticket to travel."
"Really?" Lin Shao looked at him suspiciously, hesitated to speak, and finally stopped.
In fact, Qi Ningyu hadn't thought about the Chinese New Year at all before, and it didn't make any difference to him if the Chinese New Year was not.He didn't buy a ticket to go anywhere, and planned to rest at home during the Chinese New Year and not go anywhere.
However, on New Year's Eve, as soon as he got up and washed his face, he heard a knock on the door.
He thought it was property management, but when he opened the door, he saw Xing Yuchuan standing at the door with two big sacks in his hand.
He thought that Xing Yuchuan had returned to Huocheng a long time ago, and asked in surprise, "You didn't go home?"
Xing Yuchuan didn't answer, and curled his mouth, as if he was very dissatisfied with his question, then walked around him and entered the door, and took the things to the kitchen.
He closed the door and followed, "Xing Yuchuan, what are you doing?"
"Cooking, today's New Year's Eve."
Qi Ningyu was even more surprised, "Who did it? You?"
"Do I have the honor?"
Xing Yuchuan showed a confident smile, but Qi Ningyu couldn't imagine Xing Yuchuan entering the kitchen at all, and said suspiciously: "I'm afraid the hospital will be closed tonight, and no one will wash your stomach."
"I have studied with Aunt Lan for several months, and Aunt Lan praised me for my good study. You have a little confidence in me."
Qi Ningyu couldn't build up this confidence, but saw Xing Yuchuan put on the apron very skillfully, first sorted the vegetables he bought, and then started to prepare the ingredients.
"Ning Yu, peel off the garlic."
Xing Yuchuan naturally took two heads of garlic and handed them over. He took the garlic and looked at Xing Yuchuan worriedly.
He finished peeling the garlic, and cut Xing Yuchuan's meat. He returned the garlic and asked, "Can I help?"
Xing Yuchuan thought for a while and said, "You peel potatoes and cut tomatoes."
"Where did you put it?"
When Qi Ningyu saw that there was nothing on the stove, Xing Yuchuan casually opened the refrigerator door, went back to do other things, and said, "It's in the refrigerator."
He was dazed for a while, then went to the refrigerator to take out the potatoes and tomatoes, and started to work.
In the end, Qi Ningyu and Xing Yuchuan made this New Year's Eve dinner together, but they cooked it too early, and the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at noon.
Two people gather around a big table to cook, without the atmosphere of a New Year's Eve dinner, it's more like an "old couple" who have lived together for many years eating home-cooked meals, appreciating each other's cooking skills while eating.
"Ning Yu, how is the shrimp bored?"
Xing Yuchuan peeled a shrimp clip for Qi Ningyu, and asked expectantly.
Qi Ningyu tasted it and said: "Barely, it's okay, how is my steamed fish?"
Xing Yuchuan immediately went to try Qi Ningyu's steamed fish, it was a bit fishy, he narrowed his eyes and said, "It's delicious."
"Really?" Qi Ningyu was a little skeptical about steaming fish for the first time.
So Xing Yuchuan also took a piece for him, and he tasted it, his expression froze instantly, and he glared at Xing Yuchuan.
Xing Yuchuan said: "I just like fish with fishy smell."
"Then you eat it all."
Xing Yuchuan swallowed, and reluctantly said: "Okay."
Qi Ningyu watched Xing Yuchuan eat fish with other dishes, and he managed to finish a whole fish. He felt a little sorry and said, "Next time I won't steam the fish."
Xing Yuchuan lifted his eyelids, instinctively rejoicing, and when he put down his chopsticks and raised his head to look at Qi Ningyu, he realized what he was rejoicing about.
Qi Ningyu said "next time", that is, next time Qi Ningyu will make it for him, and next time is the next New Year's Eve dinner.
He laughed unconsciously, a little silly but couldn't help it.
Qi Ningyu said with disgust: "Stop laughing, don't eat any more laughing."
Xing Yuchuan hurriedly lowered his head and continued to eat. After eating, Xing Yuchuan took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Qi Ningyu wiped and cleaned the tables in the restaurant.
After tidying up, Qi Ningyu saw Xing Yuchuan take off his apron and gloves at the kitchen door and hang them behind the kitchen door. His movements were still as orderly as when he signed the contract, but they were quite different.
In his eyes, Xing Yuchuan used to be his hero, the light that illuminates him, the proud man who never understands him, and the paranoid and domineering lunatic.
But he has never been such an ordinary and ordinary man. He never thought that one day he would get along with Xing Yuchuan like this.
Xing Yuchuan came out and asked him suddenly: "Ning Yu, do you want to set off fireworks tonight?"
"Fireworks are prohibited in urban areas."
Qi Ningyu regained his composure, and Xing Yuchuan looked prepared and said, "Let's go outside the city."
"Where is outside the city? Are you familiar with it?"
Xing Yuchuan smiled at him very modestly.
Qi Ningyu went with Xing Yuchuan only to find out that Xing Yuchuan is really familiar with him, and he didn't know when he stepped on it.
Xing Yuchuan drove the car to a mountain on the outskirts of the city. The top of the mountain was an open-air driving learning site, and the surrounding area was completely dug bare. It was not afraid of fire, and it could have a bird's-eye view of the night view of the city. It was an excellent place to set off fireworks.
It was already dark when they arrived, and the site was not abandoned, but there was no one inside. There was an iron gate at the entrance, but it was not locked.
It's very big inside, there are no street lights, the only light source is their car lights.
Xing Yuchuan drove the car in and parked it on the edge of the field, then opened the trunk, took out four boxes of fireworks, put them in a row in the middle, and turned around to shout at Qi Ningyu beside the car.
"Ning Yu, are you ready?"
"Let it go."
Qi Ningyu watched Xing Yuchuan light the fire, lit all four boxes of fireworks at once, then ran back and stood beside him.
After a while, continuous firing sounds sounded.
bang——
Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky above the night, making the entire mountaintop red.
Qi Ningyu recalled that when he was a child, the Xing family was very lively during the Chinese New Year and there were many children, but they were unwilling to play with him, and every time the fireworks were set off on New Year's Eve, he was always squeezed out.Xing Yuchuan took him out and set off fireworks for him alone on the mountain for half the night.
Xing Yuchuan, who was only a child at that time, said to him: "This is the fireworks that only belong to my baby Ningyu, and my brother only saw it because of your light."
"Ning Yu."
Xing Yuchuan called him suddenly, and he turned his head to look. Xing Yuchuan's face was highlighted by the light of the fireworks.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
Xing Yuchuan didn't answer, but hastily opened the door of the back seat of the car and dragged him into the car. The action was too hasty, he sat on Xing Yuchuan's lap, half of him fell into Xing Yuchuan's arms.
Xing Yuchuan froze, like a petrified puppet, but his hands were still firmly clasped around his waist.
At this time, there was a "cracking" sound from the roof of the car, and ashes from fireworks fell in front of the door.
Qi Ningyu understood why Xing Yuchuan hurriedly dragged him into the car, he frowned slightly and said, "Xing Yuchuan, sit in."
Xing Yuchuan's movements froze again, his hands slightly tightened and then loosened, and he slid down from his waist reluctantly, moving his position inward, and he got off Xing Yuchuan's body and sat on the chair.
The fireworks continued to bloom brilliantly in the dark night, and the people in the car just opened the doors, listening to the sound of the car being smashed on the roof, Qi Ningyu looked up at the fireworks, and Xing Yuchuan looked at Qi Ningyu.
When the fireworks ended, everything on the top of the mountain returned to calm, as if a grand and illusory dream had ended.
The car was quiet for a long time, Qi Ningyu finally turned around and said to Xing Yuchuan: "Go back."
"it is good."
Xing Yuchuan finally moved his eyes away from Qi Ningyu's face, got out of the car and walked around to the driver's seat.
When he was about to drive, Qi Ningyu suddenly got out of the car and switched to the co-driver.
"Ning Yu!"
He turned his head happily. Although Qi Ningyu had been in his co-pilot many times during this period, it seemed that Qi Ningyu was different this time.
Qi Ningyu reminded: "Mr. Xing, you should watch the road when driving, don't look at me."
He quickly turned around and drove back.
Back in the community, the two went upstairs together, and when they got to the door, they each went to open the door. Just as Qi Ningyu took out the key, Xing Yuchuan suddenly stopped his movements, looked back at him and yelled.
"Ning Yu."
Qi Ningyu turned her head to look, met Xing Yuchuan's gaze, and Xing Yuchuan smiled at him with the corners of her mouth raised.
"Happy New Year!"
He just remembered that it will be a new year soon, and replied softly: "Yeah."
Then, he went back and continued to open the door, when Xing Yuchuan suddenly called out from behind.
"Ning Yu."
"What?"
Qi Ningyu turned to look at Xing Yuchuan, and Xing Yuchuan said something again.
"Happy New Year!"
He laughed speechlessly, "If you repeat it again, it will be next year."
"Good night, you go to bed early."
Qi Ningyu simply ignored Xing Yuchuan, opened the door and went in, took a shower and went to bed as usual.It wasn't until he lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling that he finally realized that he still hadn't celebrated the New Year alone, which seemed to be pretty good.
Time goes from winter to spring again, and it is the early summer of the year.
The company has developed very well this year, and Qi Ningyu is also busy, often leaving early and returning late.But every day when he goes out in the morning or comes back at night, he can always meet Xing Yuchuan somewhere, sometimes in the corridor, sometimes in the community, sometimes in the elevator.Xing Yuchuan would not ask him too much what he was sitting at, but only cared if he was busy recently, and don't forget to eat.
"There is no need to work overtime today, everyone go back to rest early after get off work."
Qi Ningyu finished the last work of the day and announced that she was off work.
Recently, the company is going to participate in an important exhibition. Qi Ningyu is in charge of this matter. For half a month, the whole team has been working overtime, including the cooperative event company.
I finally finished a paragraph today, so I can take a little rest.
"President Qi, can we have dinner together later?"
Qi Ningyu looked at the person who asked him, he was the person in charge of the cooperative company, named Su Ming.Su Ming is enthusiastic, cheerful and efficient at work. During this time, he has become very familiar with him and got along well.
He thought that Su Ming still had some work to discuss with him, so he agreed without thinking, "Okay."
However, it wasn't until he went to Su Mingyue's restaurant that he realized something was wrong. The restaurant was full of pink atmosphere, and I didn't know that today was "520" until I saw the advertisement at the door.
But he had already come here, so he couldn't go back halfway, so he had to go in, as if he didn't know anything.
Su Ming was already waiting for him at his seat, and waved hello when he saw him.
"President Qi, here."
Qi Ningyu sat across from Su Ming. As usual, he only discussed work with Su Ming, and Su Ming didn't say anything out of line. They just talked about work in the restaurant with an ambiguous atmosphere. After dinner, he said goodbye to Su Ming.
"Manager Su, thank you for today, I'm leaving first."
"Mr. Qi doesn't mind if I send you off?"
Qi Ningyu was worried about the traffic jam in the evening rush hour, so he came here by subway. When Su Ming said this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he had already eaten his meal, so he always wanted to give Su Ming a chance to speak.
So, nodding in agreement.
Su Ming sent him to the gate of the community. On the way, Su Ming didn't say anything. He just opened the car door and got out of the car. Su Ming also got out of the car.
"Mr. Qi."
Su Ming stood in front of Qi Ningyu, "Ningyu, I hope you will allow me to call you that. I know I'm a bit abrupt, but I still want to give myself a chance. I wonder if you can give me this chance?"
Qi Ningyu replied seriously to Su Ming: "Sorry, we are just a cooperative relationship."
Su Ming was instantly lost, he didn't intend to say any more, and said goodbye directly: "Thank you for taking me back, goodbye."
Qi Ningyu bypassed Su Ming and walked towards the gate of the community, but met Xing Yuchuan who was standing by the gate.
Xing Yuchuan looked past him and looked at Su Ming.
At this moment, Su Ming suddenly shouted firmly, "It's okay, I won't give up."
Qi Ningyu didn't care about Su Ming's words, he looked at Xing Yuchuan, and thought of Xing Yuchuan's paranoid look before, thinking that Xing Yuchuan would be like how he treated Lei Sen and Xue Yuan again.
Xing Yuchuan just glanced at Su Ming, then turned his gaze back to him and said, "Aunt Lan sent some food, I'll bring it to you when I go upstairs."
Qi Ningyu looked at Xing Yuchuan unexpectedly, as if she didn't know him anymore.After Xing Yuchuan finished speaking, he walked in front, went to open the door into the community, and waited for him inside.
He followed and walked back with Xing Yuchuan.
When they went upstairs to the door, Qi Ningyu waited in the corridor for Xing Yuchuan to come in to get something for him, but Xing Yuchuan didn't say a word to Su Ming.
After a while, Xing Yuchuan came out holding a box and handed it to him without saying anything.
"Thank you, Aunt Lan, for me."
Qi Ningyu picked up the box and turned to open the door, when Xing Yuchuan was about to go in, he suddenly stopped him, "Ningyu."
He turned his head and looked at Xing Yuchuan, "What's wrong?"
Xing Yuchuan hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing for a long time.
He couldn't help but said, "I'll just go in if you don't have anything to say."
"and many more!"
Xing Yuchuan stopped him and asked hesitantly, "Can I say it?"
Qi Ningyu asked back: "Did I not allow you to say it?"
In the end, Xing Yuchuan still didn't say anything for a long time.Qi Ningyu didn't bother to talk to him, opened the door and went in.
Qi Ningyu put the box on the dining table after entering the room, and was about to put the contents inside into the refrigerator.
As soon as he opened the box, he saw a white flower on the top.
The white flowers looked familiar, and he immediately remembered the pot of prickly pears that Xing Yuchuan had kept as his treasure.
The flowers are just picked, and the broken marks on the stems are all fresh.
Qi Ningyu hesitated for a moment before taking out the flowers, and when he opened the door, he saw Xing Yuchuan still standing outside his door.
He asked, "Is your prickly pear blooming again?"
Xing Yuchuan's eyes lit up, he nodded heavily, "It's open."
"It's hard to open a flower, do you insist on picking it?"
Xing Yuchuan quickly explained, "Two bloomed this year."
Qi Ningyu was slightly startled, stared at Xing Yuchuan for a moment, and finally said, "Congratulations."
After speaking, he closed the door again.
Xing Yuchuan was stunned outside the door, and it took him a long while to come to his senses and think about the "congratulations" that Qi Ningyu said.
Is it to congratulate him that the flowers have bloomed?Remember what they said back then?
He wanted to knock on Qi Ningyu's door to ask, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't dare. He went back and stared at the pot of cactus on the balcony of the bedroom.
The head of the remaining white flower prickly pear swayed slightly, and he consciously took out his phone again, but stared at Qi Ningyu's number for a long time without moving.
Until one month later, it rained continuously for a week in the whole city, and there were floods and landslides everywhere.
Qi Ningyu went to Lin Shao's hometown to attend a wedding. On the way back, it rained heavily and a landslide occurred.
Xing Yuchuan was in a meeting when he saw the news, and a room full of executives stared at him. Seeing that he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone to make a call, but no one answered after several calls, he immediately stood up.
"Will be here."
Xing Yuchuan ran out of the meeting room after finishing his speech, and rushed downstairs to drive, braving the heavy rain to drive to the road where the accident happened.
All the cars along the way were going back, only he was driving in the opposite direction. He called Qi Ningyu while walking, but Qi Ningyu's phone was still disconnected.
When he found that the road conditions were getting worse and worse, there were no other cars on the road. Due to the heavy rain, he could not see the road conditions ahead. When the car drove to a bridge, the mud, rocks and trees on the mountain suddenly slid down together.
He stepped on the brakes in a hurry, but the car couldn't stop immediately, and he was washed off the bridge by mud and stones.
The car was half covered by mud and rocks, and was still sliding. He pushed open the door desperately and climbed out of the car.
"Ning Yu!"
Qi Ningyu didn't encounter a landslide, but was blocked on the road, probably because of an accident at the nearby signal tower, all mobile phones had no signal, and he was in a barren mountain, so he couldn't contact the outside.
It didn't take long for a rescue team to arrive and they were evacuated to nearby county towns.
Qi Ningyu saw that Xing Yuchuan had called him dozens of times after the mobile phone got a signal again.
He went back, but the person who answered the phone was not Xing Yuchuan.
"Are you the family member of this phone? What is the name of the owner of the phone?"
Qi Ningyu was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "Did something happen to him?"
"His car was overturned by the mudslide and was injured. He insisted on going through the landslide area and said he wanted to find someone. He was taken to the hospital forcibly."
Qi Ningyu was not surprised after hearing this, but felt that this was normal. Xing Yuchuan was still the same Xing Yuchuan, even though many things had changed.
He asked for the address and rushed over.
When they arrived at the hospital, Qi Ningyu first went to the doctor and asked about Xing Yuchuan's situation.
"His injury is not serious, he may have a slight concussion, and he needs to be observed for 24 hours. In addition, his old injury, the nail on the right leg bone is a bit misplaced, he needs to rest, and he needs to pay attention when he goes back. Moreover, his lung has been removed, and he usually needs to pay attention. Pay more attention, don't consume too much, and the family members should persuade him more."
"Nails in his legs? Lungs removed?"
When Qi Ningyu asked, he was convinced that it was impossible for Xing Yuchuan to be so injured at that time without leaving any injuries, but he didn't know how Xing Yuchuan had been in a coma at that time, so how did the doctor hide it from him.
The doctor in front of him asked in surprise, "Aren't you his brother? You don't know?"
"I know, thank you doctor."
After Qi Ningyu answered, she went back to Xing Yuchuan's hospital bed. Due to the large number of injured patients and insufficient wards, Xing Yuchuan could only stay in the emergency room.
He sat beside the ward, staring at Xing Yuchuan motionless until Xing Yuchuan woke up.
"Ning Yu."
Xing Yuchuan opened his eyes and saw Qi Ningyu, and rushed over to hug him.
"You're fine! I'm scared to death! It's good that you're fine."
Qi Ningyu was held by Xing Yuchuan, and when Xing Yuchuan hugged him enough to let go, he said: "What about you?"
Xing Yuchuan fell silent immediately, as if he knew he was wrong and dared not answer.
Qi Ningyu asked again: "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Hearing Qi Ningyu's question, Xing Yuchuan immediately understood that Qi Ningyu knew everything.
Qi Ningyu stared at him without blinking, and he explained: "I don't want to hide from you, I don't want you to sympathize with me because of my injury. Ningyu, you know that what I want is not your sympathy. I don't even want You forced yourself to face me because of my injury."
"When did you tell the doctor?"
"I don't know. The second uncle said that I asked the doctor when I was unconscious."
Qi Ningyu was startled, and asked again: "Is there any more?"
"Nothing."
After a long while, Qi Ningyu stood up and turned to leave, he quickly said, "Ningyu, where are you going?"
"Going through the hospitalization procedures, the doctor said to watch."
Qi Ningyu walked out of the ward, went to go through the hospitalization procedures for Xing Yuchuan, called Xing Yuchuan's assistant, and then went back to find Xing Yuchuan.
At night, Xing Yuchuan stayed in the hospital, and there was no bed for an escort in the ward, so Qi Ningyu went to find a hotel near the hospital.
Lin Shao saw the news and called him to ask him. He heard that he was in a hurry in the hospital.
He said: "It's not me, I'm fine, it's Mr. Xing who came to look for me, something happened."
Lin Shao was silent for a long time before saying: "Ayu, although I don't know what happened to you, I can see it this year. If you haven't let him go, don't procrastinate and make up. Bar."
"I'm hanging up for nothing else."
Qi Ningyu directly hung up Lin Shao's computer and went to sleep.
The next day, after the doctor's examination, he said that Xing Yuchuan could be discharged from the hospital. Qi Ningyu went to complete the discharge procedures, and when he left the ward, he went to help Xing Yuchuan.
Xing Yuchuan avoided his hand, stood upright and said, "I can go."
"The doctor said you need to pay more attention to your legs."
Qi Ningyu firmly supported Xing Yuchuan, took him downstairs, got into the car, and drove back.
On the way, Xing Yuchuan secretly looked at Qi Ningyu countless times, and every time the words he wanted to ask came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
They returned to the community, went upstairs to the door, and Qi Ningyu stood in front of his door this time.
"Open the door."
Xing Yuchuan froze for a moment, then hurriedly touched the key, and when he opened the door, he turned to look at Qi Ningyu and said, "Ningyu, I can go in by myself."
Qi Ningyu peeked into the door, "Is there anything I can't go in and see?"
Xing Yuchuan was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Although he and Qi Ningyu had been neighbors for a long time, Qi Ningyu had never entered this door.
Qi Ningyu went in without waiting for Xing Yuchuan's consent. As soon as he entered, he saw that there was no TV on the TV wall in the living room, and the entire wall was covered with his photos.
He was not too shocked to look at Xing Yuchuan who followed.
Just as Xing Yuchuan was about to explain, he turned his eyes away, looked around the living room, and found that Xing Yuchuan had moved all his things from the previous apartment here.If you only look at the house, it seems that they live here together.
Xing Yuchuan stood in front of him awkwardly, he raised his eyes and said, "When will you get rid of this problem? I don't want to see my own photos all over the wall every day when I walk in the door."
"
Time goes from autumn to winter, from winter to autumn, and another year passes in a blink of an eye.
Qi Ningyu has completely gotten used to the city's treacherous and changeable weather. He went to work in unlined clothes yesterday, but today he felt cold even with a jacket on.
When I came back from get off work at night, I sneezed three times when I opened the door, and suddenly there was a "bang" from behind.
He hurriedly looked back and found that someone was moving again. He was almost scared off by the furniture in other people's hands when he sneezed just now.
It has been almost a year since he came back from Huocheng, and he has been living in the rented house since Xue Yuan left.
There are only two households on the first floor, and he knows that the opposite side was actually bought by Xing Yuchuan, and it has been vacant for a year.
Suddenly someone moved, either Xing Yuchuan sold the house, or——
"Ning Yu."
Qi Ningyu suddenly heard Xing Yuchuan's voice, turned around and saw Xing Yuchuan behind the moving workers.
Xing Yuchuan stood upright by the wall, smiling at him with the corners of his mouth raised, his hair was cut short, and he was wearing casual casual clothes. Compared with when he was injured, he recovered a lot, he was not so thin, he didn't look seriously injured, and he was gone The gloom of his departure.
On the day he came back from Huocheng, Xing Yuchuan sent him off, and it was the only time they said goodbye properly.Before he got on the plane, Xing Yuchuan hugged him tightly for a minute. He thought that Xing Yuchuan would regret it in the end, but he only said "Take care" to him.
And this year, Xing Yuchuan didn't bother him again, he thought they would never see each other again, Xing Yuchuan "died" once and let him go.
He and Xing Yuchuan were fundamentally not suitable people. Those 18 years were nothing more than a habit developed from childhood to adulthood. This may be the best ending for them.
However, he was not surprised to see Xing Yuchuan appearing in front of him again.
"Ning Yu, long time no see."
Xing Yuchuan walked in front of him, as if an old friend was reunited.
He felt that Xing Yuchuan was completely different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different, so he looked at the opposite door and asked, "You want to move here?"
Xing Yuchuan generously admitted, "The group has opened a branch here, and will focus on developing projects here in the future, so I am here."
Qi Ningyu looked at Xing Yuchuan suspiciously, Xing Yuchuan probably saw what he was thinking, and admitted frankly: "It's also to get closer to you."
Xing Yuchuan spoke so bluntly, but instead he had no words to answer. He glanced at Xing Yuchuan, opened the door and went in, and then closed the door.
Xing Yuchuan stood in front of the closed door in a daze, regretting that he shouldn't have spoken so directly just now, and made Qi Ningyu angry.
The door in front of him suddenly opened again, Qi Ningyu stood in the door frame, looked out and looked at him and asked: "Are you fully recovered from your injury? Is there anything—"
"I'm ready."
Xing Yuchuan hurriedly proved that he jumped twice on the spot like stepping on a trampoline, performed a circle, and then raised his sleeves to expose his arms, showing Qi Ningyu his recovered skin. The burn marks are not easy to find unless you look carefully.
"Congratulations, don't bother you and move."
Qi Ningyu looked at Xing Yuchuan speechlessly, feeling that Xing Yuchuan seemed to be more lively and childish.He didn't want to say any more, so he stepped back and closed the door.
He didn't think much about Xing Yuchuan, and made something to eat as usual, then read the news, ran on the treadmill, took a shower and went to bed.
The next day, when going to work in the morning, Qi Ningyu met Xing Yuchuan at the door.
"Ning Yu, good morning."
Xing Yuchuan seemed to meet a neighbor by chance and greeted him, he didn't think about whether Xing Yuchuan did it on purpose, and replied, "Morning".
They went downstairs together, said goodbye to Xing Yuchuan in the garage, and went to drive separately.
Qi Ningyu finally bought a scooter. As soon as he arrived at the company, Lin Shao excitedly pulled him along.
"Ayu, the financing mentioned earlier has been negotiated, and the funder's father will come today!"
Qi Ningyu knows that Lin Shao has always wanted to go public, and the company has developed well in the past year. It has grown from dozens of people to hundreds of people.
However, Lin Shao has always been secretive about the financing this time, and every time he asked him, he replied "you will know when the time comes".
When the people from the financing party came in the afternoon, Qi Ningyu really knew about it.
Xing Yuchuan came in through the company gate together with others, and the employees who were there when Xing Yuchuan was in the company were shocked.Before Xing Yuchuan stopped coming suddenly, they felt that there was some story behind it, and now they saw Xing Yuchuan again and immediately made up a big drama in their brains.
Qi Ningyu was not surprised, he vaguely thought of it when he saw Xing Yuchuan yesterday.
During the negotiation process, Qi Ningyu didn't regard Xing Yuchuan as someone he knew, and Xing Yuchuan didn't seem to intend to let him down. It was originally a matter of a table, but later it became a game between the two of them.
The people in the conference room unconsciously quieted down to watch the confrontation between the two, giving them a feeling that the two did not seem to be negotiating, but were competing with each other with years of old grudges.
In the end, both parties achieved the desired results, successfully signed the contract, and the atmosphere instantly eased.
Lin Shao heaved a sigh of relief, he thought Qi Ningyu was going to quarrel with Xing Yuchuan, so he quickly smoothed things over, "Boss Xing, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Xing Yuchuan nodded, and glanced at Qi Ningyu next to Lin Shao.
"Eat hot pot?"
Lin Shao's favorite is hot pot, so he immediately said: "What's the problem! You come here to eat hot pot, Ayu, right!"
Qi Ningyu looked at Xing Yuchuan. Xing Yuchuan's taste has always been light, he doesn't like heavy and greasy food, and he definitely can't eat the hot pot here.
But Xing Yuchuan had no problem on his face, he didn't ask any more questions, and said directly: "Boss Xing said yes, so let's go."
So, at night, they took people from the financing party to eat hot pot. Lin Shao did not go to the authentic old hot pot restaurant that had been open for decades on the side of the road like he did when he took Qi Ningyu to eat this time, but went to a rather famous chain store. I specially ordered the mandarin duck pot.
Except for a few people from their company, the others at the table were all foreigners. When they were seated, Lin Shao deliberately let Xing Yuchuan sit next to Qi Ningyu.
Qi Ningyu just took one look at Lin Shao and sat down, Lin Shao enthusiastically chatted with the others, as if he isolated them.
The hot dishes in the pot were ready, and Qi Ningyu saw that Xing Yuchuan had put some in the red soup, so she couldn't help asking, "Can you eat?"
Xing Yuchuan nodded, and ate with a normal expression.
Qi Ningyu was a little surprised, he scalded two pieces of hairy belly in the red soup and gave it to Xing Yuchuan, "Boss Xing, try it?"
Xing Yuchuan didn't change his face, picked it up, ate it, and didn't show any expression of being too spicy or not tasty, and turned his head to look at him with a smile, and said triumphantly: "I've eaten there several times. , I found that what you said is right, after you try it, you will know that many things are different from what you think."
"Then you eat more."
After Qi Ningyu said this, Xing Yuchuan really ate too much. In the end, he was so spicy that he grabbed the beer glass on the table and drank a glass, and then said, "Ningyu, it's so spicy!"
Qi Ningyu felt that Xing Yuchuan seemed to be a different person, because the tutor Xing Yuchuan was very particular about eating and drinking since he was a child, and he never made such actions. He couldn't help thinking about what Xing Yuchuan had done this year.
In the end, the hot pot meal was finished harmoniously, no one got drunk, and everyone walked out of the hot pot restaurant soberly.
"It's raining."
Lin Shao looked outside and said something before going to the hot pot restaurant to borrow an umbrella. This is a commercial center, and parking is particularly difficult, so they all parked elsewhere when they came.
When Lin Shao came back to share the umbrellas, he missed one.
Xing Yuchuan said: "I'm drunk, Ning Yu and I are on the way, I can take his car."
Lin Shao originally thought so too, but he didn't say it, and looked at Qi Ningyu meaningfully.
Qi Ningyu took the umbrella and said, "Let's go."
Lin Shao didn't have enough parking spaces, so he parked farther away, on the other side of the square, so he and Xing Yuchuan walked alone.
They held umbrellas side by side and walked into the night rain.
There were very few people in the square at night, and the smooth ground was covered with rainwater, reflecting the surrounding lights. It felt like the neon lights of the city were soaked, and the umbrellas above the head were constantly being slammed by the falling raindrops.
"...The parting is always in September, and the memory is the sorrow of missing...I never forgot you in that rainy little town..."
Qi Ningyu heard the singing in the square, and subconsciously looked over, there was a young man singing while holding a guitar in the rain, as if he was not in the same world as the hurried pedestrians around him.
When he passed by, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times. It wasn't Xue Yuan, but it reminded him of Xue Yuan.
"Ning Yu, wait."
Xing Yuchuan suddenly stopped him, handed him the umbrella, ran to the singer, swept the money for him, and said something.
Then, the singer changed to another song.
"... Butin the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you..."
Qi Ningyu looked at the singer singing in the rain, and sang the love song a bit lonely. The drizzle floated down and was reflected by the street lamps, which was reflected in the colorful neon around it, like an oil painting with a contrast between cold and warm.
Xing Yuchuan ran back, got under the umbrella, and stood side by side with him listening to the singer sing.
He suddenly asked: "Who told you that you can order songs?"
"I found out after listening to it a few times."
Qi Ningyu glanced sideways at Xing Yuchuan, and didn't ask any more questions. After the singer finished singing, he turned and left holding his umbrella. Xing Yuchuan suddenly grabbed his hand.
"I'll take the umbrella."
Only then did Qi Ningyu realize that Xing Yuchuan's shoulders and hair were half wet, so he handed over the umbrella, but Xing Yuchuan took the umbrella but didn't cover himself a little bit more.
So they walked to the parking lot, drove, and went back.
On the way, Qi Ningyu was silent, and Xing Yuchuan didn't say a word. He sat in the passenger seat and glanced at him from time to time. No one said a word until he got out of the car and went upstairs.
When Qi Ningyu walked to the door and was about to open it, Xing Yuchuan suddenly stopped him behind him.
"Ning Yu."
When he turned his head, Xing Yuchuan said to him, "Good night."
"Good night."
Qi Ningyu replied, and the two went into the room separately.
In this way, they became neighbors, and the time changed from the beginning of autumn to the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year was about to begin.
Qi Ningyu feels that Xing Yuchuan has really changed in the past few months, not only his attitude, but also his character. He has become less aggressive, less paranoid, and no longer said those repeated words to him.
They get along like ordinary friends, Xing Yuchuan occasionally helps him take the courier together, occasionally helps him take care of the potted plants when he is on a business trip, occasionally sends him food from Aunt Lan, occasionally walks back together when they meet on the road, and occasionally meets on weekends. Will eat hot pot with Lin Shaoyue.
"Everyone has worked hard this year. I wish you all a good year in advance. See you next year."
Lin Shao's speech is over, the company's annual meeting is also over, and everyone is officially on vacation.
When the show was over, Lin Shao asked Qi Ningyu, "Ayu, what are your plans for the New Year?"
Qi Ningyu couldn't answer for a moment, this year was the first time he celebrated the New Year alone.
He lived with his parents when he was a child, and even the two years at Qi's house were always lively and peaceful. For the next 18 years, he spent with Xing Yuchuan, with Xue Yuan the year before last, and went to Lin Shao's house for lunch last year.
But this year Lin Shao has a girlfriend, and he will go to his girlfriend's house during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Lin Shao joked, "If you weren't so handsome, I would have taken you to my girlfriend's house."
He couldn't help laughing, and Lin Shao said again: "Why don't you go to my house, my parents like you."
There are brothers and sisters in Lin Shao's family, Qi Ningyu refused: "I have already bought a plane ticket to travel."
"Really?" Lin Shao looked at him suspiciously, hesitated to speak, and finally stopped.
In fact, Qi Ningyu hadn't thought about the Chinese New Year at all before, and it didn't make any difference to him if the Chinese New Year was not.He didn't buy a ticket to go anywhere, and planned to rest at home during the Chinese New Year and not go anywhere.
However, on New Year's Eve, as soon as he got up and washed his face, he heard a knock on the door.
He thought it was property management, but when he opened the door, he saw Xing Yuchuan standing at the door with two big sacks in his hand.
He thought that Xing Yuchuan had returned to Huocheng a long time ago, and asked in surprise, "You didn't go home?"
Xing Yuchuan didn't answer, and curled his mouth, as if he was very dissatisfied with his question, then walked around him and entered the door, and took the things to the kitchen.
He closed the door and followed, "Xing Yuchuan, what are you doing?"
"Cooking, today's New Year's Eve."
Qi Ningyu was even more surprised, "Who did it? You?"
"Do I have the honor?"
Xing Yuchuan showed a confident smile, but Qi Ningyu couldn't imagine Xing Yuchuan entering the kitchen at all, and said suspiciously: "I'm afraid the hospital will be closed tonight, and no one will wash your stomach."
"I have studied with Aunt Lan for several months, and Aunt Lan praised me for my good study. You have a little confidence in me."
Qi Ningyu couldn't build up this confidence, but saw Xing Yuchuan put on the apron very skillfully, first sorted the vegetables he bought, and then started to prepare the ingredients.
"Ning Yu, peel off the garlic."
Xing Yuchuan naturally took two heads of garlic and handed them over. He took the garlic and looked at Xing Yuchuan worriedly.
He finished peeling the garlic, and cut Xing Yuchuan's meat. He returned the garlic and asked, "Can I help?"
Xing Yuchuan thought for a while and said, "You peel potatoes and cut tomatoes."
"Where did you put it?"
When Qi Ningyu saw that there was nothing on the stove, Xing Yuchuan casually opened the refrigerator door, went back to do other things, and said, "It's in the refrigerator."
He was dazed for a while, then went to the refrigerator to take out the potatoes and tomatoes, and started to work.
In the end, Qi Ningyu and Xing Yuchuan made this New Year's Eve dinner together, but they cooked it too early, and the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at noon.
Two people gather around a big table to cook, without the atmosphere of a New Year's Eve dinner, it's more like an "old couple" who have lived together for many years eating home-cooked meals, appreciating each other's cooking skills while eating.
"Ning Yu, how is the shrimp bored?"
Xing Yuchuan peeled a shrimp clip for Qi Ningyu, and asked expectantly.
Qi Ningyu tasted it and said: "Barely, it's okay, how is my steamed fish?"
Xing Yuchuan immediately went to try Qi Ningyu's steamed fish, it was a bit fishy, he narrowed his eyes and said, "It's delicious."
"Really?" Qi Ningyu was a little skeptical about steaming fish for the first time.
So Xing Yuchuan also took a piece for him, and he tasted it, his expression froze instantly, and he glared at Xing Yuchuan.
Xing Yuchuan said: "I just like fish with fishy smell."
"Then you eat it all."
Xing Yuchuan swallowed, and reluctantly said: "Okay."
Qi Ningyu watched Xing Yuchuan eat fish with other dishes, and he managed to finish a whole fish. He felt a little sorry and said, "Next time I won't steam the fish."
Xing Yuchuan lifted his eyelids, instinctively rejoicing, and when he put down his chopsticks and raised his head to look at Qi Ningyu, he realized what he was rejoicing about.
Qi Ningyu said "next time", that is, next time Qi Ningyu will make it for him, and next time is the next New Year's Eve dinner.
He laughed unconsciously, a little silly but couldn't help it.
Qi Ningyu said with disgust: "Stop laughing, don't eat any more laughing."
Xing Yuchuan hurriedly lowered his head and continued to eat. After eating, Xing Yuchuan took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Qi Ningyu wiped and cleaned the tables in the restaurant.
After tidying up, Qi Ningyu saw Xing Yuchuan take off his apron and gloves at the kitchen door and hang them behind the kitchen door. His movements were still as orderly as when he signed the contract, but they were quite different.
In his eyes, Xing Yuchuan used to be his hero, the light that illuminates him, the proud man who never understands him, and the paranoid and domineering lunatic.
But he has never been such an ordinary and ordinary man. He never thought that one day he would get along with Xing Yuchuan like this.
Xing Yuchuan came out and asked him suddenly: "Ning Yu, do you want to set off fireworks tonight?"
"Fireworks are prohibited in urban areas."
Qi Ningyu regained his composure, and Xing Yuchuan looked prepared and said, "Let's go outside the city."
"Where is outside the city? Are you familiar with it?"
Xing Yuchuan smiled at him very modestly.
Qi Ningyu went with Xing Yuchuan only to find out that Xing Yuchuan is really familiar with him, and he didn't know when he stepped on it.
Xing Yuchuan drove the car to a mountain on the outskirts of the city. The top of the mountain was an open-air driving learning site, and the surrounding area was completely dug bare. It was not afraid of fire, and it could have a bird's-eye view of the night view of the city. It was an excellent place to set off fireworks.
It was already dark when they arrived, and the site was not abandoned, but there was no one inside. There was an iron gate at the entrance, but it was not locked.
It's very big inside, there are no street lights, the only light source is their car lights.
Xing Yuchuan drove the car in and parked it on the edge of the field, then opened the trunk, took out four boxes of fireworks, put them in a row in the middle, and turned around to shout at Qi Ningyu beside the car.
"Ning Yu, are you ready?"
"Let it go."
Qi Ningyu watched Xing Yuchuan light the fire, lit all four boxes of fireworks at once, then ran back and stood beside him.
After a while, continuous firing sounds sounded.
bang——
Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky above the night, making the entire mountaintop red.
Qi Ningyu recalled that when he was a child, the Xing family was very lively during the Chinese New Year and there were many children, but they were unwilling to play with him, and every time the fireworks were set off on New Year's Eve, he was always squeezed out.Xing Yuchuan took him out and set off fireworks for him alone on the mountain for half the night.
Xing Yuchuan, who was only a child at that time, said to him: "This is the fireworks that only belong to my baby Ningyu, and my brother only saw it because of your light."
"Ning Yu."
Xing Yuchuan called him suddenly, and he turned his head to look. Xing Yuchuan's face was highlighted by the light of the fireworks.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
Xing Yuchuan didn't answer, but hastily opened the door of the back seat of the car and dragged him into the car. The action was too hasty, he sat on Xing Yuchuan's lap, half of him fell into Xing Yuchuan's arms.
Xing Yuchuan froze, like a petrified puppet, but his hands were still firmly clasped around his waist.
At this time, there was a "cracking" sound from the roof of the car, and ashes from fireworks fell in front of the door.
Qi Ningyu understood why Xing Yuchuan hurriedly dragged him into the car, he frowned slightly and said, "Xing Yuchuan, sit in."
Xing Yuchuan's movements froze again, his hands slightly tightened and then loosened, and he slid down from his waist reluctantly, moving his position inward, and he got off Xing Yuchuan's body and sat on the chair.
The fireworks continued to bloom brilliantly in the dark night, and the people in the car just opened the doors, listening to the sound of the car being smashed on the roof, Qi Ningyu looked up at the fireworks, and Xing Yuchuan looked at Qi Ningyu.
When the fireworks ended, everything on the top of the mountain returned to calm, as if a grand and illusory dream had ended.
The car was quiet for a long time, Qi Ningyu finally turned around and said to Xing Yuchuan: "Go back."
"it is good."
Xing Yuchuan finally moved his eyes away from Qi Ningyu's face, got out of the car and walked around to the driver's seat.
When he was about to drive, Qi Ningyu suddenly got out of the car and switched to the co-driver.
"Ning Yu!"
He turned his head happily. Although Qi Ningyu had been in his co-pilot many times during this period, it seemed that Qi Ningyu was different this time.
Qi Ningyu reminded: "Mr. Xing, you should watch the road when driving, don't look at me."
He quickly turned around and drove back.
Back in the community, the two went upstairs together, and when they got to the door, they each went to open the door. Just as Qi Ningyu took out the key, Xing Yuchuan suddenly stopped his movements, looked back at him and yelled.
"Ning Yu."
Qi Ningyu turned her head to look, met Xing Yuchuan's gaze, and Xing Yuchuan smiled at him with the corners of her mouth raised.
"Happy New Year!"
He just remembered that it will be a new year soon, and replied softly: "Yeah."
Then, he went back and continued to open the door, when Xing Yuchuan suddenly called out from behind.
"Ning Yu."
"What?"
Qi Ningyu turned to look at Xing Yuchuan, and Xing Yuchuan said something again.
"Happy New Year!"
He laughed speechlessly, "If you repeat it again, it will be next year."
"Good night, you go to bed early."
Qi Ningyu simply ignored Xing Yuchuan, opened the door and went in, took a shower and went to bed as usual.It wasn't until he lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling that he finally realized that he still hadn't celebrated the New Year alone, which seemed to be pretty good.
Time goes from winter to spring again, and it is the early summer of the year.
The company has developed very well this year, and Qi Ningyu is also busy, often leaving early and returning late.But every day when he goes out in the morning or comes back at night, he can always meet Xing Yuchuan somewhere, sometimes in the corridor, sometimes in the community, sometimes in the elevator.Xing Yuchuan would not ask him too much what he was sitting at, but only cared if he was busy recently, and don't forget to eat.
"There is no need to work overtime today, everyone go back to rest early after get off work."
Qi Ningyu finished the last work of the day and announced that she was off work.
Recently, the company is going to participate in an important exhibition. Qi Ningyu is in charge of this matter. For half a month, the whole team has been working overtime, including the cooperative event company.
I finally finished a paragraph today, so I can take a little rest.
"President Qi, can we have dinner together later?"
Qi Ningyu looked at the person who asked him, he was the person in charge of the cooperative company, named Su Ming.Su Ming is enthusiastic, cheerful and efficient at work. During this time, he has become very familiar with him and got along well.
He thought that Su Ming still had some work to discuss with him, so he agreed without thinking, "Okay."
However, it wasn't until he went to Su Mingyue's restaurant that he realized something was wrong. The restaurant was full of pink atmosphere, and I didn't know that today was "520" until I saw the advertisement at the door.
But he had already come here, so he couldn't go back halfway, so he had to go in, as if he didn't know anything.
Su Ming was already waiting for him at his seat, and waved hello when he saw him.
"President Qi, here."
Qi Ningyu sat across from Su Ming. As usual, he only discussed work with Su Ming, and Su Ming didn't say anything out of line. They just talked about work in the restaurant with an ambiguous atmosphere. After dinner, he said goodbye to Su Ming.
"Manager Su, thank you for today, I'm leaving first."
"Mr. Qi doesn't mind if I send you off?"
Qi Ningyu was worried about the traffic jam in the evening rush hour, so he came here by subway. When Su Ming said this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he had already eaten his meal, so he always wanted to give Su Ming a chance to speak.
So, nodding in agreement.
Su Ming sent him to the gate of the community. On the way, Su Ming didn't say anything. He just opened the car door and got out of the car. Su Ming also got out of the car.
"Mr. Qi."
Su Ming stood in front of Qi Ningyu, "Ningyu, I hope you will allow me to call you that. I know I'm a bit abrupt, but I still want to give myself a chance. I wonder if you can give me this chance?"
Qi Ningyu replied seriously to Su Ming: "Sorry, we are just a cooperative relationship."
Su Ming was instantly lost, he didn't intend to say any more, and said goodbye directly: "Thank you for taking me back, goodbye."
Qi Ningyu bypassed Su Ming and walked towards the gate of the community, but met Xing Yuchuan who was standing by the gate.
Xing Yuchuan looked past him and looked at Su Ming.
At this moment, Su Ming suddenly shouted firmly, "It's okay, I won't give up."
Qi Ningyu didn't care about Su Ming's words, he looked at Xing Yuchuan, and thought of Xing Yuchuan's paranoid look before, thinking that Xing Yuchuan would be like how he treated Lei Sen and Xue Yuan again.
Xing Yuchuan just glanced at Su Ming, then turned his gaze back to him and said, "Aunt Lan sent some food, I'll bring it to you when I go upstairs."
Qi Ningyu looked at Xing Yuchuan unexpectedly, as if she didn't know him anymore.After Xing Yuchuan finished speaking, he walked in front, went to open the door into the community, and waited for him inside.
He followed and walked back with Xing Yuchuan.
When they went upstairs to the door, Qi Ningyu waited in the corridor for Xing Yuchuan to come in to get something for him, but Xing Yuchuan didn't say a word to Su Ming.
After a while, Xing Yuchuan came out holding a box and handed it to him without saying anything.
"Thank you, Aunt Lan, for me."
Qi Ningyu picked up the box and turned to open the door, when Xing Yuchuan was about to go in, he suddenly stopped him, "Ningyu."
He turned his head and looked at Xing Yuchuan, "What's wrong?"
Xing Yuchuan hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing for a long time.
He couldn't help but said, "I'll just go in if you don't have anything to say."
"and many more!"
Xing Yuchuan stopped him and asked hesitantly, "Can I say it?"
Qi Ningyu asked back: "Did I not allow you to say it?"
In the end, Xing Yuchuan still didn't say anything for a long time.Qi Ningyu didn't bother to talk to him, opened the door and went in.
Qi Ningyu put the box on the dining table after entering the room, and was about to put the contents inside into the refrigerator.
As soon as he opened the box, he saw a white flower on the top.
The white flowers looked familiar, and he immediately remembered the pot of prickly pears that Xing Yuchuan had kept as his treasure.
The flowers are just picked, and the broken marks on the stems are all fresh.
Qi Ningyu hesitated for a moment before taking out the flowers, and when he opened the door, he saw Xing Yuchuan still standing outside his door.
He asked, "Is your prickly pear blooming again?"
Xing Yuchuan's eyes lit up, he nodded heavily, "It's open."
"It's hard to open a flower, do you insist on picking it?"
Xing Yuchuan quickly explained, "Two bloomed this year."
Qi Ningyu was slightly startled, stared at Xing Yuchuan for a moment, and finally said, "Congratulations."
After speaking, he closed the door again.
Xing Yuchuan was stunned outside the door, and it took him a long while to come to his senses and think about the "congratulations" that Qi Ningyu said.
Is it to congratulate him that the flowers have bloomed?Remember what they said back then?
He wanted to knock on Qi Ningyu's door to ask, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't dare. He went back and stared at the pot of cactus on the balcony of the bedroom.
The head of the remaining white flower prickly pear swayed slightly, and he consciously took out his phone again, but stared at Qi Ningyu's number for a long time without moving.
Until one month later, it rained continuously for a week in the whole city, and there were floods and landslides everywhere.
Qi Ningyu went to Lin Shao's hometown to attend a wedding. On the way back, it rained heavily and a landslide occurred.
Xing Yuchuan was in a meeting when he saw the news, and a room full of executives stared at him. Seeing that he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone to make a call, but no one answered after several calls, he immediately stood up.
"Will be here."
Xing Yuchuan ran out of the meeting room after finishing his speech, and rushed downstairs to drive, braving the heavy rain to drive to the road where the accident happened.
All the cars along the way were going back, only he was driving in the opposite direction. He called Qi Ningyu while walking, but Qi Ningyu's phone was still disconnected.
When he found that the road conditions were getting worse and worse, there were no other cars on the road. Due to the heavy rain, he could not see the road conditions ahead. When the car drove to a bridge, the mud, rocks and trees on the mountain suddenly slid down together.
He stepped on the brakes in a hurry, but the car couldn't stop immediately, and he was washed off the bridge by mud and stones.
The car was half covered by mud and rocks, and was still sliding. He pushed open the door desperately and climbed out of the car.
"Ning Yu!"
Qi Ningyu didn't encounter a landslide, but was blocked on the road, probably because of an accident at the nearby signal tower, all mobile phones had no signal, and he was in a barren mountain, so he couldn't contact the outside.
It didn't take long for a rescue team to arrive and they were evacuated to nearby county towns.
Qi Ningyu saw that Xing Yuchuan had called him dozens of times after the mobile phone got a signal again.
He went back, but the person who answered the phone was not Xing Yuchuan.
"Are you the family member of this phone? What is the name of the owner of the phone?"
Qi Ningyu was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "Did something happen to him?"
"His car was overturned by the mudslide and was injured. He insisted on going through the landslide area and said he wanted to find someone. He was taken to the hospital forcibly."
Qi Ningyu was not surprised after hearing this, but felt that this was normal. Xing Yuchuan was still the same Xing Yuchuan, even though many things had changed.
He asked for the address and rushed over.
When they arrived at the hospital, Qi Ningyu first went to the doctor and asked about Xing Yuchuan's situation.
"His injury is not serious, he may have a slight concussion, and he needs to be observed for 24 hours. In addition, his old injury, the nail on the right leg bone is a bit misplaced, he needs to rest, and he needs to pay attention when he goes back. Moreover, his lung has been removed, and he usually needs to pay attention. Pay more attention, don't consume too much, and the family members should persuade him more."
"Nails in his legs? Lungs removed?"
When Qi Ningyu asked, he was convinced that it was impossible for Xing Yuchuan to be so injured at that time without leaving any injuries, but he didn't know how Xing Yuchuan had been in a coma at that time, so how did the doctor hide it from him.
The doctor in front of him asked in surprise, "Aren't you his brother? You don't know?"
"I know, thank you doctor."
After Qi Ningyu answered, she went back to Xing Yuchuan's hospital bed. Due to the large number of injured patients and insufficient wards, Xing Yuchuan could only stay in the emergency room.
He sat beside the ward, staring at Xing Yuchuan motionless until Xing Yuchuan woke up.
"Ning Yu."
Xing Yuchuan opened his eyes and saw Qi Ningyu, and rushed over to hug him.
"You're fine! I'm scared to death! It's good that you're fine."
Qi Ningyu was held by Xing Yuchuan, and when Xing Yuchuan hugged him enough to let go, he said: "What about you?"
Xing Yuchuan fell silent immediately, as if he knew he was wrong and dared not answer.
Qi Ningyu asked again: "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Hearing Qi Ningyu's question, Xing Yuchuan immediately understood that Qi Ningyu knew everything.
Qi Ningyu stared at him without blinking, and he explained: "I don't want to hide from you, I don't want you to sympathize with me because of my injury. Ningyu, you know that what I want is not your sympathy. I don't even want You forced yourself to face me because of my injury."
"When did you tell the doctor?"
"I don't know. The second uncle said that I asked the doctor when I was unconscious."
Qi Ningyu was startled, and asked again: "Is there any more?"
"Nothing."
After a long while, Qi Ningyu stood up and turned to leave, he quickly said, "Ningyu, where are you going?"
"Going through the hospitalization procedures, the doctor said to watch."
Qi Ningyu walked out of the ward, went to go through the hospitalization procedures for Xing Yuchuan, called Xing Yuchuan's assistant, and then went back to find Xing Yuchuan.
At night, Xing Yuchuan stayed in the hospital, and there was no bed for an escort in the ward, so Qi Ningyu went to find a hotel near the hospital.
Lin Shao saw the news and called him to ask him. He heard that he was in a hurry in the hospital.
He said: "It's not me, I'm fine, it's Mr. Xing who came to look for me, something happened."
Lin Shao was silent for a long time before saying: "Ayu, although I don't know what happened to you, I can see it this year. If you haven't let him go, don't procrastinate and make up. Bar."
"I'm hanging up for nothing else."
Qi Ningyu directly hung up Lin Shao's computer and went to sleep.
The next day, after the doctor's examination, he said that Xing Yuchuan could be discharged from the hospital. Qi Ningyu went to complete the discharge procedures, and when he left the ward, he went to help Xing Yuchuan.
Xing Yuchuan avoided his hand, stood upright and said, "I can go."
"The doctor said you need to pay more attention to your legs."
Qi Ningyu firmly supported Xing Yuchuan, took him downstairs, got into the car, and drove back.
On the way, Xing Yuchuan secretly looked at Qi Ningyu countless times, and every time the words he wanted to ask came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
They returned to the community, went upstairs to the door, and Qi Ningyu stood in front of his door this time.
"Open the door."
Xing Yuchuan froze for a moment, then hurriedly touched the key, and when he opened the door, he turned to look at Qi Ningyu and said, "Ningyu, I can go in by myself."
Qi Ningyu peeked into the door, "Is there anything I can't go in and see?"
Xing Yuchuan was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Although he and Qi Ningyu had been neighbors for a long time, Qi Ningyu had never entered this door.
Qi Ningyu went in without waiting for Xing Yuchuan's consent. As soon as he entered, he saw that there was no TV on the TV wall in the living room, and the entire wall was covered with his photos.
He was not too shocked to look at Xing Yuchuan who followed.
Just as Xing Yuchuan was about to explain, he turned his eyes away, looked around the living room, and found that Xing Yuchuan had moved all his things from the previous apartment here.If you only look at the house, it seems that they live here together.
Xing Yuchuan stood in front of him awkwardly, he raised his eyes and said, "When will you get rid of this problem? I don't want to see my own photos all over the wall every day when I walk in the door."
