Promised period

After entering the door, Song Ke drank some water, and then slowly washed the cups in the kitchen without resting.

Qin Binkai asked him to rest with a serious expression.He felt embarrassed. After washing the cups, he went to clean the cupboard: "Go and pack your luggage. I'm fine. I just had low blood sugar."

"I don't think you have hypoglycemia, but heart disease."

It was indescribably embarrassing for someone who didn't have a deep friendship to see what happened just now.Back in the living room, the two sat on the sofa for a while.

Qin Binkai asked: "He looks a little familiar, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person. What's his background? Also, hasn't it been a while since you two broke up? Why does he still live next door to you?"

Song Ke didn't know where to start, so she could only pretend to be relaxed: "Maybe he thinks the rent here is cheap."

"At what time are you still joking, aren't you afraid that he will come to your house like this every day to trouble you? This kid is too fierce. If it weren't for me, he would still be beaten up, and the bridge of his nose would have to be smashed tonight."

Seeing his bruised and purple face through the light of the living room, Song Ke was really in a mess, so she had to apologize sincerely: "I'm sorry, but I got you in trouble tonight. It's a pity that you have to leave tomorrow , next time I come to the river, I will treat you to dinner and make amends."

Qin Binkai said half-truthfully, "I don't have to go either."

Song Ke replied immediately: "Let's go, it's not easy to change the ticket."

Qin Binkai had no choice but to smile wryly, and after a while he said, "Don't be really angry with me. Next time I see you, I won't drink anymore. Let's talk calmly."

Thinking of that inexplicable kiss, Song Ke nodded again and again, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and slip in.After finally urging Qin Binkai to take a bath first, he had time to sit in the living room alone.

When did Chen Jue move here and why?I vaguely had an answer in my heart, but I didn't want to face it honestly, so I quickly thought of other things.

I kicked Chen Jue hard in the alley tonight, and even hit him on the back several times with a stone. Is this supposed to be true?It's not funny to think about it. Since we met, Chen Jue has often been beaten by himself, and no one will believe him when he tells it.

Just as he was in a state of confusion, the phone rang, and it was Cheng Yi'an who answered.

Cheng Yi'an didn't know where to get the wind, and he called in a hurry: "Chen Jue rented a suite next to your house, do you know?"

"I just found out." Song Ke hesitated a bit, "You are too well informed."

"It's not that I'm well-informed, it's that he was inexplicably beaten tonight. As soon as he was injured, many people followed the chaos, and the hospital rushed to inform Chen Nian, but Chen Jue's phone was turned off again, and Chen Jue I was forced to find me."

Song Ke felt strange, and suddenly remembered that Chen Nian hadn't contacted him for a long time.He didn't know that Chen Jue had issued a strict order not to allow his sister to contact him in private.

Cheng Yi'an also felt strange: "But how did you know?"

I had no choice but to confess to him what happened tonight, and many details were vaguely mentioned, but he was still taken aback.

"You...forget it..." I simply resigned to my fate, "I'll come and see him now, don't go to meet him again, so as not to further intensify the conflict."

Song Ke nodded, remembering that he couldn't see, paused for a moment before saying, "Okay."

It's good to let him come over, even out of normal empathy, someone should go to see Chen Jue's situation.It's just that this person must not be himself.

"What should we do next? The two of you live next to each other." Cheng Yi'an worried, "I'm worried that your recovery will be slower."

Song Ke smiled: "It's a big deal, I'll move out."

But I am also very tired in my heart, because I have just moved here less than two months ago, and it will take a lot of trouble to move again.

It was already 12:30 in the morning when Cheng Yian arrived.

He rented this apartment with Song Ke. At that time, he clearly remembered that there was a young couple living next door, so they changed hands so quickly.

Standing at the door, Cheng Yi'an looked at Chen Jue from bottom to top.Chen Jue's face was wounded, and there was a faint displeasure between his brows and eyes: "Why are you here?"

"If Chen Nian didn't ask me, do you think I would go out in the middle of the night?"

His tone was not good, but he was surprised when he entered.The apartment in front of me is furnished exactly the same as the previous place, even the furniture seems to be bought by comparison, but it looks newer.

Chen Jue walked into the kitchen to pour water in front of him, his back posture was not right, and his shoulders were tilted sharply.

"Let's not come with this nonsense with me, I can pour water myself if I want to drink."

Chen Jue ignored it, and took out the cigarette expressionlessly after pouring the water. Every time his shoulder moved, the veins on the side of his face protruded from pain, but he didn't say anything.

"Still smoking? Are you pretending to be okay with me?" Cheng Yi'an was so angry that he almost threw the cigarette away, and forcibly tore off his clothes to take a look, he couldn't help but gasped.

I have never seen such a large and deep bruise.Almost half of Chen Jue's back was injured, and the skin was covered with deep and light purple blue, which made the scalp numb.

He stood up suddenly: "The one surnamed Qin beat you? You used to be so ruthless, you don't know how to fight back when he hits you."

Chen Jue said, "It has nothing to do with him."

He was stunned for a moment, and after a while he recalled: "Song Ke beat you..."

Chen Jue's face became even uglier.

He continued in one breath: "You deserve it, no one sympathizes with you, who told you to treat Song Ke like that? If you want me to say that beating you is light, he just treats you too well. There is nothing wrong. I told Song Ke at the beginning that you are not good enough to talk about character and character. He knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He doesn't believe it. Now it's better. Incomplete."

"And that Zhong from before, who was that? The time I bumped into you at the supermarket, I laughed so hard. It would be an insult to Song Ke if you find someone like this." The more he talked, the more angry he was, trying his best to calm down. Come down and say, "Song Ke clearly understands everything, but he endures everything. He also endures when you are with others, and he also endures when you are hot and cold to him, and he finally gives himself It's been a long time since I was sick, and I haven't been cured."

The words were a little hoarse afterwards, because it was really not worth it for Song Ke.Then how uncomfortable it must be for a strong person to become like this, but the people he cares about don't know at all, and maybe they don't care.

Chen Jue remained silent, blindly silent.

After Cheng Yi'an had vented all his thoughts, he went into the room to search for the quilt he was going to sleep at night, only to find a small workbench in the room.

The two curved monitors are connected together, the host is connected to the bottom, and the laptop is connected to the front. There are many documents and reference books piled up on the table.

Chen Jue went in first and turned off the machine, Cheng Yian became suspicious: "What is that?"

"It's nothing."

"Are you looking at Ruiyan's bidding document?" He has sharp eyes, "Who gave it to you? It's a commercial secret."

"I just want to see the financial report inside."

"So what if you see it?"

Chen Jue sat on the bed without saying a word.

Cheng Yian suddenly realized: "Don't you want to come back?" Seeing that he was silent as if he had agreed, he immediately said: "Don't be sentimental, we have had a good year when you were away, everyone paid wages and bonuses on time as usual, not to mention Song Ke doesn't want to have anything to do with you now."

These words seemed to really hurt Chen Jue.He looked a little bored, refused to listen any more, got up and took a bottle of wine from the refrigerator.

"You're still drinking after being hurt like this?" Cheng Yi'an felt that he was acting recklessly.

But Chen Jue is a person who doesn't listen to advice.

As soon as he saw the bottle of wine in his hand, he remembered that they had drunk this brand of wine during the Chinese New Year at Song Ke's house.He drank a lot, but Song Ke only drank a little, and her face turned red, like a child.

The sky was gray and unclear that night, the wind slapped dust on the glass windows, and the tile-roofed houses in the distance were scattered high and low.The two sat in the old and dilapidated small house, shivering from the cold, but very happy in their hearts.

Song Ke never took the initiative, but that night she brought food for him and was willing to drink a little wine with him.Song Ke didn't like spicy food, but she was willing to eat a little for him. She was so spicy that she kept drinking water, but she had a smile on her face.Taking a bath is so inconvenient, Song Ke is willing to boil water for him, mix buckets with cold water, and test the water temperature for him with his hands.

All for him.

Thinking of Song Ke at that time, there is no way not to think about Song Ke tonight.Someone else was hugging him, kissing him, getting everything from him.Thinking of this, Chen Jue's body hurts uncontrollably, his heart feels like a hole has been drilled, and he can't stop hating himself.

He asked himself, where did you get the former Song Ke?Why did Song Ke refuse to look back again.

He drank a lot of wine and still couldn't fall asleep, lying on the sofa in a daze.Cheng Yi'an ignored him at first, but when he saw him take out his mobile phone, he might have to call Song Ke to stop him.

"Stop beating, Song Ke is already asleep."

Chen Jue didn't believe it, half drunk and said no: "Song Ke is still waiting for me."

Cheng Yi'an changed from his usual gentleness: "No one is waiting for you anymore, wake up Chen Jue, Song Ke has already walked out. He is with another person now, they are a couple, are you sure you want to bother?" ?”

There was another man holding Song Ke in his arms, doing things that only couples would do, saying things that only couples would say, those things have nothing to do with you, Chen Jue.Chen Jue sat on the sofa with his head down and his elbows on his knees. He couldn't straighten his back for a long time.

Cheng Yi'an said: "Sooner or later, you have to face the reality. You are always like this, and you always refuse to face things, but what can this change? Nothing can be changed."

But Chen Jue didn't say a word, because he tried it, and if he couldn't forget it, he couldn't forget it.

Song Ke let him know that the house does not need to be that big, it would be good enough for two people to live in. It turns out that it is the most delicious to go out for a dental festival after getting paid at the end of each month. It turns out that the shoes are dirty and you have to brush them. It turns out that home appliances are broken and you can repair them by yourself. You can buy very cheap things.Song Ke refused to say that she liked him, but would save money to buy him an expensive tie, would keep calling him when he was sleepy while driving, and refused to hang up for a long time.Song Ke loved him, loved him unreservedly, and even thought about spending the rest of her life with him.

But why is their life so short, it seems that everything is over with the flicker of the headlights.

After several days, Chen Jue never appeared in front of Song Ke again.

Song Ke leaves early and returns late every day. She is busy with her own affairs after work, but she still keeps in touch with Qin Binkai.

Qin Binkai would send messages to greet him every day, and insisted on calling even if he didn't answer, and sometimes he would travel thousands of miles to order him a cup of coffee.After coming and going, rumors began to spread even in the company. It was said that Boss Song had a persistent admirer and was currently in the process of pursuing him crazily.Song Ke didn't care about these, so she didn't bother to explain.

Down-to-earth work and life always give people a sense of security.

During this period of time, it was inconvenient to walk back to and from get off work. One day Song Ke finally tried to drive her second-hand Guangbo home.

As a result, when we got on the road, it started to rain.It was only then that I remembered that I had received a warning text message in the morning that a typhoon would cross the border tonight.

He finally made up his mind and died before leaving the teacher, even he himself felt helpless.So I had to go as slowly as possible, walking slowly in the context of the city, listening to the cold rain beating the car windows, and watching the raindrops brushing against the tall buildings.

He thought that if he could drive home smoothly today, he might be able to recover completely tomorrow.

I have walked through the streets many times and passed many intersections, because the car is driving slowly, I suddenly have the opportunity to appreciate it.The old houses on both sides of the road bear the traces of time, and the red roofs are hidden under the branches of plane trees. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered that this is the place where Chen Jue had promised to buy one for him.

It was really cold that day, and it is still cold when I think about it now.

In the end, he still got a little rain, because there is no underground garage in this community, so he can only park the car on the road and run back.

When I got home, I was hungry and cold, so I quickly took off my clothes and took a hot bath. I casually made a terrible fried rice and finished it, and then I started to pack my things.

Time is tight and every night has to be packed.

Folding clothes, packing tableware, I was busy until ten o'clock at night before I felt tired.He was resting on the sofa when someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Who would it be so late?

He walked over and waited quietly at the door for a while.People outside didn't know if they heard footsteps, but the knock on the door stopped for a few seconds before it came again.

"Song Ke, it's me."

It really was Chen Jue.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned and sat back on the sofa.Chen Jue waited for a long time without giving up, and said to him through the door: "Excuse you for a few minutes, I have something to say to you."

He hardened his heart and ignored it, because he didn't want to continue procrastinating.To be separated is to be separated, why not be clear about it?Nothing will change.

The leftovers had already cooled down there, and the sky was getting dark.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't stop at all. The big raindrops slapped the windows.Chen Jue's voice was mixed with the sound of rain: "Song Ke, it's really just a few words, and I'll leave after I finish. You don't want someone standing at your door all the time, do you?" His words were sincere.

Looking up at the boxes in the living room, Song Ke finally went to open the door, and the cold air choked into the nostrils, making it sore.

Chen Jue stood at the door wrapped in a dark windbreaker, her hair was slightly wet, the wound from the last time was still faintly visible, and her cheeks were sunken.

Song Ke backed away: "Come in and talk about it."

Chen Jue was stunned for a second, and his face was full of astonishment: "I thought you would let me leave after finishing talking at the door."

Song Ke didn't look at him anymore, but turned around and walked in: "The house is a bit messy, so there's no need to change shoes."

Only then did Chen Jue come back to his senses.

He stepped in and stood in the living room without sitting.Song Ke poured him a cup of hot water, put it on the tea table, and asked him to sit down.He said no: "There is water on my clothes, don't stain your sofa."

Song Ke said, "It's okay, just sit down."

After sitting down, he kept looking at Song Ke, his eyes were sincere and frank, maybe Song Ke's attitude gave him some hope.He took out his two hands from the pockets of his windbreaker, but he still held the lighter in his right hand, and immediately explained in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I don't want to smoke."

Song Ke said it was okay again: "You can smoke if you want."

Chen Jue froze, put the lighter back tightly, and asked after a while, "Is he not at home?"

In fact, it's obvious, so I'm looking for something to say.Song Ke couldn't react at first, and after a while, she realized who he was talking about, so she nodded, "Yes."

The voices of the two of them were not loud, just like whispering between lovers.Chen Jue put both hands on his knees, and noticed the leftovers on the tea table sideways, and frowned slightly: "You just eat this?"

"I came back late, so I didn't have time to do anything else."

"That won't work." He took out his cell phone, "You are a patient, and the patient must eat something nutritious. The Cantonese restaurant at Ganghui is not far from here, and I know the owner. Let them know when you get off work and what you want to eat." Have them brought home."

They always ate Cantonese food in those three years, and they ate it a few times in the past year, but it was not always pleasant.

Song Ke was silent for a while, then rejected his kindness: "No need."

Chen Jue said: "Don't be polite to me, I won't pay for you, I just say hello to the boss for you. If you leave a phone number for the boss, just say it's me—"

Before finishing speaking, Song Ke declined again softly: "It's really not necessary."

The two looked at each other, Song Ke stood under the light, raised her hand to the side: "I'm going to move out, I might have time to cook when I settle down."

Following the direction he pointed, Chen Jue saw two cardboard boxes, and his expression immediately became very stiff. After a long silence, he stood up: "Is it because of me?"

Song Ke avoided his gaze and did not speak.

"You don't want to see me so much, you would rather move, and you would rather move again and again to avoid me."

The water was almost cold, and Chen Jue didn't take a sip, his lips were blue from the cold.Song Ke couldn't think of anything else to say, so she could only ask: "You came to see me tonight, what do you want to say to me?"

Chen Jue's face was gloomy, and he answered irrelevant questions: "Don't move, I'll move. I just want this last night. After tonight, I will stay away from you and never bother you again."

The moment the door was opened, the wind blew in, making it almost impossible to stand.Chen Jue walked out without an explanation, and Song Ke called him from behind: "Chen Jue?" He didn't answer, and quickly disappeared in the elevator room.

Song Ke felt that something was wrong with him, went to the balcony and looked down, and saw him walking into the rain without looking back, walking very fast, the cold wind blew his coat, and the gray lining was flipped open.
