It was already one o'clock in the morning when we left the airport parking lot.

Driving all the way back, after such a long night, Tao Liyang felt a little tired when he passed the service station closest to the expressway exit.

It took about half an hour to arrive at the hotel. He hesitated for a moment between resting for a while and driving back in a hurry, when his cell phone rang suddenly, it was Xu Yunqing.

Tao Liyang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly picked it up.

He hadn't seen Xu Yunqing's name on the caller ID for more than a month, and the two of them almost saved themselves from communicating, let alone calling.When it was connected, even the heartbeat couldn't help but stop.

However, no one spoke on the other end of the phone, only the faint sound of breathing could be heard, which seemed to be relatively stable.

"Yunqing?" Tao Liyang called out, but there was no answer.

He was a little suspicious that he had accidentally dialed the number while he was asleep, but he couldn't help worrying about what might have happened. Even if the possibility of the latter was only one in ten thousand, it still made him nervous in an instant.Such a sensitive time in the early morning aggravated the tension, so that he even forgot that he could call the hotel front desk and ask them to go upstairs to take a look, and drove back at the highest speed all the way.

Fortunately, there were not too many cars at night, and he rarely encountered red lights. It took him less than 10 minutes to get downstairs in half an hour's drive.

Ran all the way to the door of Xu Yunqing's room, knocked on the door for a while but no one answered, Tao Liyang frowned, feeling even more anxious, when he was about to go downstairs to find the front desk to open the door, he suddenly thought of something.He opened the door of his own room, walked out of the balcony, glanced left and right, took off his coat, and jumped onto the balcony next door with his hand on the railing.

Xu Yunqing vaguely heard someone knocking on the door, as if from another world.He slowly opened his eyes, but the eyelids were heavy, and when he could see the furnishings in the room clearly, the sound seemed to stop again.

He was too lazy to look over, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting and sleeping, his neck was a little stiff.He shook his head vigorously, and the memory before falling asleep slowly came back, Xu Yunqing smiled wryly, and raised his hand to pour himself a glass of wine.However, just after drinking it, he suddenly heard a noise from the balcony. He turned his head and saw someone pushing open the glass door and coming in.

Xu Yunqing was stunned for a moment, but even though his mind was still not clear, he still recognized Tao Liyang's figure at a glance.Countless emotions flooded into his heart at the same time, and he didn't know how to react for a while. Seeing that Tao Liyang had come to the front, he raised his head and asked in a daze: "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I'm going crazy, okay?!" Tao Liyang finally let go of his worry and anxiety after confirming that Xu Yunqing was fine with his own eyes, but his fear still made his voice a little angry, "What are you doing? No one answered the door, I thought..."

He didn't finish his sentence because he noticed the smell of alcohol in the room and a bottle rolled to his feet: "What's wrong with you?"

"I didn't know it was you." Xu Yunqing only answered his previous question.

Tao Liyang frowned and wanted to turn on the light, but Xu Yunqing saw his intention and grabbed his hand: "Don't turn on, don't turn on the light."

When Tao Liyang touched the skin of his palm, he couldn't help but froze. He tried his best to restrain his urge to hold it, and slowly pulled out his hand.

"I'm sorry." Xu Yunqing seemed to have thought of something, smiled inexplicably, and quickly withdrew his hand. Seeing that Tao Liyang was still looking at him, he asked him a little dullly: "Why are you here?"

Tao Liyang was helpless: "Because you called me."

"I'll call you?"

Tao Liyang didn't dare to hang up at all along the way, and he only remembered after he asked, and the call interface was still on when he took out his mobile phone.Xu Yunqing turned his head and glanced, the doubt on his face was not fake, he remembered that he wanted to call, but in the end it seemed that he didn't dial out.He pressed his forehead, and took out his mobile phone from the gap between the two sofa cushions, it was already a little hot.

He stared at Tao Liyang's name on it for a few seconds, looked at Tao Liyang again, and then pressed the hang up button: "Wrong dial, sorry, let's go."

"You look like this, where should I go?" Tao Liyang said helplessly, seeing that he was going to get the wine bottle again, he pressed his wrist, "What's the matter?"

Xu Yunqing didn't answer, Tao Liyang could only change the question: "How much did you drink?"

"Not much." Xu Yunqing shook his head.

Tao Liyang looked at him by the moonlight. Although Xu Yunqing didn't drink much at ordinary times, his alcohol capacity was not too bad. In addition, he didn't look good when he drank, and he fell asleep for a while in the middle. Apart from his voice being a little rough, his speech was still quite clear. From the outside, I really couldn't tell the truth from what he said.

"Then don't drink it." Tao Liyang wanted to snatch his bottle, but Xu Yunqing held it tightly: "I want to drink it, so leave me alone."

"What to drink? It's so late, go to bed." Tao Liyang stretched out his hand to pull him, but Xu Yunqing pushed him away forcefully: "I said I don't need you to worry about it, and I won't delay you."

Tao Liyang didn't pay attention, and was almost staggered by his push. He reached the corner of the lower table before he stood still. He rubbed a piece of ice on his waist only to find that the shirt had been cut, and it probably hung when he turned over from the balcony just now.

He thought of all the troubles he had made all night, and seeing that Xu Yunqing refused to tell him anything, thinking that it might be Li Shuang's business again, he couldn't help laughing at himself.He simply sat down, took a bottle of wine and drank it: "You don't have to worry about me, you speak so clearly, which time I didn't rush to make a fool of myself."

"You've had enough of me, haven't you?" Xu Yunqing also gave a short laugh, "You're so angry that you think I'm interrupting your date, don't you? It won't happen in the future, don't worry."

Tao Liyang received this baseless accusation for no reason: "What is my date?"

Xu Yunqing turned his face away and didn't look at him, just continued to drink one gulp at a time. Tao Liyang couldn't wait for him to answer, so he was suffocated in his heart, so he continued to drink.

"I've seen it all." After another bottle was emptied for a while, Xu Yunqing finally said when he went to get a new one: "Congratulations...that sentence is true. I'm fine here, you can go."

"Who did you see?" Tao Liyang became more and more confused, "What did you say?"

"Are you trying to fool me?"

"What am I fooling you about..."

"Wei Xiao!"

Xu Yunqing's voice suddenly rose.

Tao Liyang was taken aback, the two looked at each other strangely for two seconds, Xu Yunqing lowered his head again: "I saw him waiting for you downstairs, and then you went out together... That's right, which one do you want to deny?" ?”

"I don't deny any of it." Tao Liyang got a bottle of gin indiscriminately just now, it was too strong, and he drank it too fast, already a little drunk, "He is waiting for me, I am with him I went out together. Should I not take him out and talk to him in the hall? People come and go, I don’t think there are enough things, do I?”

Xu Yunqing snorted, leaned over and grabbed his wrist and glanced at his watch: "So what are you talking about so late? If I hadn't dialed the wrong number, would you have come back today?"

"Where will I go if I don't come back? It's nothing at all." Tao Liyang was completely baffled, and simply explained directly, "It's that kind of thing over and over again, he said, I refused, and then I sent him to the airport to let him go, that's it .”

Xu Yunqing slowly squinted at him, as if trying to tell the truth from the words: "Didn't you hug in the office? Didn't you get together?"

"That's not the case at all. How come you hear that the wind is rain." Tao Liyang put down the bottle and lit a cigarette, a little annoyed, "Why are you asking me like a prisoner, what's your position? Then I'll ask you, you Why did you do this tonight? What happened to Li Shuang again?"

"Li Shuang?" Xu Yunqing asked suspiciously, "What happened to her?"

"How do I know what's wrong with her? Aren't you drinking because of her?" Tao Liyang tried his best to suppress the sourness in his tone.

"It's none of her business." Xu Yunqing pinched his neck and changed his position.

"It's none of her business?" Tao Liyang sneered, not believing it, "It's not because of her, is it because of me? You asked so many questions just now, are you jealous of Wei Xiao?"

Xu Yunqing was silent for a while, Tao Liyang thought he would not pay attention to his whimsical question, but saw Xu Yunqing drank the remaining wine in the bottle in one gulp, rubbed his lower lip with his thumb, and his voice was a little erratic: "What if I say yes?"

Tao Liyang's finger holding the cigarette froze, he lowered his head and took a puff before saying: "That means you are crazy or I am crazy."

"Really?" Xu Yunqing smiled, "Maybe I'm crazy."
