Overtone

The song continues.

Qi Ye looked at Xiao Cheng, trembling with his fingertips rubbing the wine glass, he didn't follow this topic any further.

He is waiting for an answer.

To be honest, after removing all the shrinkage and lack of self-confidence before, he is indeed looking forward to it now, as if digging out his heart, he has presented everything without reservation.

Besides, the atmosphere here is similar, and the words are straightforward enough, so there is no need to say anything.

And Xiao Cheng didn't seem to expect that Qi Ye would say such a thing, he froze for a moment, as if confirming the meaning of the words, and then drank the lemonade in front of him -

This was included in the set meal, and it was placed on the table before Qi Ye secretly ordered the tequila sunrise.

Maybe he drank in a hurry, a few drops of liquid flowed down his rolling Adam's apple and wet the tablecloth.

"Qi Ye." Xiao Cheng's voice was quite hoarse, with a very deep bass echoing in the open space.

At this time, Qi Ye's spirit of drinking also came up, he leaned forward, smiled and said "Yes": "I'm listening."

They stared at each other for a few seconds.

It seems that wherever the eyes can see, only the other party is left.

The corners of Xiao Cheng's eyes were red, as if stained by slightly drunk alcohol, Qi Ye could see that the eyes staring at him contained some emotion besides endless tenderness.

After a brief daze, the light in the restaurant suddenly dimmed a bit.

It may be because of the weekdays, there are not many diners, and almost no one notices the lighting.

But Qi Ye noticed it very keenly.

"Professor Xiao, you..." For some reason, Qi Ye's breathing became slightly quickened, even tinged with anxiety.

In his peripheral vision, the musicians also left the stage, leaving only the piano a few meters away, and a sheet of music waiting for the performer.

Seeing Xiao Cheng get up, he wanted to say something, but the tequila in his hand was not steady and tilted.

The moment it was spilled, the temperature belonging to the other party's palm was overwhelmed.

Just this kind of skin contact instantly ignited a boundless flame.

——Ambiguous, almost charming.

Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in the feasting and feasting of the whole city.

Qi Ye looked up at Xiao Cheng, as if trying to read his emotions, but lost his way under the smudged light.

What he vaguely remembers is only the star-like reflection of the bright light in the other party's eyes.

Xiao Cheng didn't speak any more, he patted Qi Ye's hand lightly, and then walked towards the piano.

Feeling the slight coolness on his skin, Qi Ye woke up a little.

The snowy night was still outside the window, but inside the restaurant, his heart was like a warm fire. He watched Xiao Cheng sit down, and the smooth and beautiful notes poured down...

If it is said that all the tender moments in the world can stay for a short time, then no matter what the price is, Qi Ye can accept it.

At first, it was just a text message on a mobile phone.

Qi Ye, who was immersed in it, didn't notice it.

After waiting, the screen seemed to light up a few times at this time, and a few items were quickly refreshed.At this time, Qi Ye regained his senses a little, and glanced at the message on the phone.

After a few seconds, he stood up abruptly, and the tequila on the table shook violently, splashing a large area.

Xiao Cheng found out that something was wrong with him emotionally.

The violin stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"I'll make a phone call first." Qi Ye's tone was a little anxious, and he turned and ran out of the restaurant.

Xiao Cheng waited quietly without moving a step. When Qi Ye came back, he was still standing there. Seeing that Qi Ye's face was a bit ugly, he frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"I have to go back." Qi Ye hurriedly picked up the down jacket.

"Go home?"

"Ah."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Cheng beckoned to the waiter, made a look, and something was removed from the bar.

But Qi Ye didn't see this scene, he frowned and said, "I just called at home, saying that my mother was hospitalized suddenly."

Xiao Cheng's expression became serious when he heard this, and he frowned.

"I'll take you to the airport," he said.

"No need." Qi Ye shook his head, "The subway can go directly, Professor Xiao, you can take a good rest, I'll go first."

As he spoke, he rushed out anxiously, but Xiao Cheng grabbed his wrist.

"Go, go to the garage." Xiao Cheng's tone was very firm.

Qi Ye was slightly taken aback, but finally nodded decisively: "Okay."

Time did not allow him to think about it so much, and when he arrived at the garage, it was exactly three hours before the flight took off.And Qi Ye had never seen Xiao Cheng drive so fast before, he overtook many cars in a row, almost unimpeded, without waiting for a few red lights.

Along the way, they were a little silent.

Qi Ye looked out the window without saying a word, his expression still solemn.

"Auntie..." Xiao Cheng glanced at Qi Ye and asked, "Are you okay?"

"My dad called this afternoon, and we had a good chat at the time. I also said that I would go home during the Spring Festival." Qi Ye looked at the screen of the phone, "I heard that the test is still underway, and I don't know what the result will be."

"It'll be fine." Xiao Cheng glanced at the rear mirror and overtook another car.While waiting for the red light, he comforted softly, "Don't worry too much."

"Yeah." Qi Ye smiled, "Listen to you."

It may be because of the fast speed this time, there is still some time when we arrive at the airport.

"Take off in two hours." Qi Ye took the boarding pass and took the sandwich Xiao Cheng bought, "I hope there will be no delay."

"The previous flight has arrived on time, and there is little chance of being late." Xiao Cheng unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and handed it over, "Sleep for a while before boarding the plane to conserve energy."

Qi Ye nodded. He stuffed the sandwich and the charging cable he bought temporarily into his backpack, got up and said, "Professor Xiao, you go first. I'll just go to the security check. You don't need to accompany me there."

In fact, when he said this, Qi Ye felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart for some reason.

On the one hand, he was really devastated and wanted to go back quickly to take care of family matters.But how should I put it, he is still waiting for an answer, and he always feels that after tonight, he will never see Professor Xiao again.

The lights at the airport were brightly lit.

They finally said goodbye at the security checkpoint.

Qi Ye originally planned to leave directly, because in many cases, leaving directly with his back turned would be a good way to cut off all emotions that should be or should not be.

But for some reason, this time, when he was about to enter the security check passage, he looked back.

Just this one.

Passing over the crowds of seeing off people in front of me, and passing countless travelers in a hurry.

At this moment, the line of sight completely collided.

The next moment, Qi Ye took a step forward and ran towards Xiao Cheng, finally standing at a distance of half a meter.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, then remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, they opened their arms tacitly, went around and patted each other on the back, and then leaned close together.

This is a very common hug between brothers, but at this moment, it gives a special intimacy and gives them a chance to completely vent their emotions.

Xiao Cheng's shoulders were strong and thin, but for some reason he felt very secure. When Qi Ye leaned on him, he heard his strong heartbeat behind his chest.

While breathing, Qi Ye closed his eyes and said, "Wait for me."

Then, Xiao Cheng's voice was heard beside his ears, his tone was gentle and powerful enough to accommodate all the feelings of parting here.

"Well, I've always been."
