Overtone

Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, the man smiled lightly and raised his head directly.

Looking at the familiar face under the brim of the hat, Qi Ye frowned deeply.It seems that his premonition was correct a long time ago, and this kind of worry has continued until now, and the thing that was in his heart has come true.

"Teacher Xia." Qi Ye took a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Cheng, "It's a coincidence."

Xia Xingyan turned his head towards the dining table and said, "Come over for dinner."

"That's very interesting. The chain stores in the urban area don't eat it, so I have to come here." Qi Ye smiled, and wanted to say something, but Xiao Cheng gently pulled his arm down.

Xia Xingyan stood by the table watching them, his eyes fell on the matching earrings of the two.

The store was very noisy, and he didn't speak, just smiled.After a few seconds, he frowned again, and said in a very light tone, "Mr. Xiao, I just..."

He didn't continue speaking, but the look in his eyes made Qi Ye very uncomfortable.

This has long gone beyond the suitor's behavior - paranoid, crazy, even to the point of pathology.

"I didn't introduce you before, but this is my lover." Xiao Cheng pulled Qi Ye behind him.His tone was very polite, it was Qi Ye's alienation and indifference when we first met, but now it was bone-chillingly cold, like a cold blade soaked in ice water.

Xia Xingyan didn't respond to what he said.

"I know." He said to Qi Ye, "I've seen it all, haven't I?"

The words were ambiguous, and Qi Ye couldn't help it when he heard it: "Mr. Xia, we met in the office before, so we have made it clear."

Xia Xingyan smiled: "Yes."

After a few seconds, he touched the strap of his satchel, still looking at Xiao Cheng.

Qi Ye could see from his eyes that he still didn't give up.

"Of course you have the freedom to pursue, but now that Teacher Xiao and I have established a relationship, aren't you making fun of things that don't work out?" Qi Ye said, "Professor Xiao is my boyfriend, and we They all live together."

Xia Xingyan didn't speak.

I can't say this to unreasonable people, besides, Xia Xingyan's eyes were always glued to Xiao Cheng's body, and Qi Ye was very uncomfortable walking back and forth.

Qi Ye wanted to drag Xiao Cheng away, but he grabbed his wrist and patted the back of his hand, meaning there was no rush.

"Delete all those photos." Xiao Cheng's gaze fell on his satchel, and he said expressionlessly, "Otherwise we will call the police."

Without looking again, he turned and left.

Xia Xingyan still stood there, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes, followed by strangeness.He stared at their backs for a while, took out the camera from his backpack, and began to rub his fingertips consciously or unconsciously.

On the way back, Qi Ye was a little silent.

He leaned on his elbows and looked out the car window, the reflection of the street scene was reflected in his eyes, a little darker.

After opening the door and entering, Qi Ye still didn't speak, put the packed taco into the refrigerator and started making coffee.

Xiao Cheng knew what Qi Ye was thinking, and when he turned around to pour the concentrate from the Moka pot into a cup, he hugged him from behind.

Xiao Cheng leaned on Qi Ye's shoulder and coaxed softly: "Don't worry."

"What do you mean don't worry?" Qi Ye paused, and put the coffee cup on the stage, "It's fine to harass you before, but if you still secretly film and follow, you can call the police."

"It should only be my picture, it's okay."

"Is there any difference between you and me?" Qi Ye glanced sideways at Xiao Cheng, but didn't continue.

Xiao Cheng continued to hug him, rubbing Qi Ye's hair gently with his hand, and the two didn't talk any more.

After a long time, he asked softly, "Are you still angry?"

Qi Ye was silent for a few seconds: "I'm not angry about it."

"Well, it's not worth it." Xiao Cheng rubbed Qi Ye's palm again, drawing circles to comfort him.

Feeling the temperature from Xiao Cheng's fingertips, Qi Ye still felt uncomfortable.

He knew that Xiao Cheng was always in the front, always taking care of things, and he didn't need to do anything, but this was exactly what he felt the most unbearable.

How should I put it, it just hurts.

Seeing Xiao Cheng's downplaying expression just now, it felt like a stone was placed in his heart, rolling back and forth, feeling uncomfortable.

The two hugged for a while, and only let go after the heat floating on the coffee cups dissipated a lot.

Qi Ye went out with the concentrate, and Xiao Cheng was cutting ice cream cakes on the counter where the coffee had just been brewed. The atmosphere was still the same as before, but the conversation was a little less.

Seeing Xiao Cheng put the cake on the dining table, Qi Ye got up to get the tableware.

At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone on the table turned on, so he leaned against the table next to Xiao Cheng and unlocked the screen.

The light from the phone outlines the outline, Qi Ye looked at it for a while, until Xiao Cheng put the knife and fork aside, he came back to his senses: "Oh, I forgot to take the tableware."

"Why are you looking so serious?" Xiao Cheng looked at him with a smile.

"It's nothing." Qi Ye's head was clear at this time, and he was hiding things. After all, he never told Xiao Cheng that he asked Zhou Qun to investigate the IP address. "As for Zhou Qun asking me if I would go to the southern draft, I have to give a final reply."

Xiao Cheng: "Really decide not to go?"

Qi Ye nodded: "I can't leave here."

Hearing these words, Xiao Cheng seemed to know something, put down the coffee and looked up at him: "Actually, don't worry about me."

"I know." Qi Ye nodded, "Don't mention what happened just now."

Talking about this all afternoon didn't work, the two just couldn't see what the other was doing for them.As for Qi Ye's answer, he was just trying to play it sloppy. This state has been carried by both sides since they met, and it is difficult to change.

Originally, the emotions were carried over like this, and neither of them wanted to mention it again, but Xia Xingyan called.

"Hidden spirits linger." Qi Ye took a sip of coffee, "Do you really think that we will give him a step down?"

"Just delete the photo." Xiao Cheng ignored the phone call, even though Xia Xingyan sent an apology on WeChat afterwards, turned off the screen after just looking at it, and threw the phone on the table.

Qi Ye seemed to understand what Xiao Cheng meant, but he was just annoyed. After all, his boyfriend was harassed and followed for no reason, and anyone would be bombarded.

"If Xia Xingyan harass you again next week, I have a solution here." He glanced at the pierced cake, and muttered again: "I don't believe that exposing those two music official blogs can't cure him. "

Xiao Cheng was slightly stunned: "...Music official blog?"

Qi Ye's movements froze suddenly.

"I..." Qi Ye looked away and said in a low voice, "I'll go and investigate."

"Investigate what?"

Seeing Qi Ye's faltering tone, Xiao Cheng said calmly, "Look at me."

Qi Ye knew that he couldn't hide the matter, so he could only say, "I asked Zhou Qun to check the IP addresses of those five accounts."

"and then?"

"There are two accounts belonging to the Conservatory of Music."

"I didn't ask you about this." Xiao Cheng said, "Why didn't you tell me you were investigating this?"

Qi Ye couldn't answer, and he couldn't say that I was here for you. It's not that he didn't know who Xiao Cheng was. Zhou Sijia had a conflict that time before, and at that time he couldn't see Qi Ye taking care of anything.

And last time they faced it together, this time, fast forward directly to Qi Ye quietly helping him.

No matter who you are, seeing your lover take risks like this will not feel good.

After a long time, Xiao Cheng stood up.

The fork touched the dinner plate crisply, and then dangled to the side.

Qi Ye looked up at him.

"I have some work to do." Xiao Cheng said softly, "You don't have to have dinner, don't wait for me."

He still rubbed Qi Ye's hair, just like he did many times before.

But Qi Ye knew he was angry this time.

Xiao Cheng turned around and went into the study.

Time ticked by and he never came out.

And Qi Ye was sitting in the living room, watching the ice cream in the cake layer gradually melt and gradually spread out from the side of the plate.

This state is indeed fatal.

Both of them were hiding something, but they were afraid that the other would be worried, so they didn't say anything. In the end, as long as things collided like this, conflicts arose with precision and impartiality.

And this suppressed emotion reached its peak when Qi Ye entered the study and saw a file on Xiao Cheng's computer.

——That is a collection of media accounts, as well as their respective regions and active areas.

"Aren't you also investigating?" Qi Ye stood behind Xiao Cheng, "You asked me why I didn't tell you, I just wanted to help you."

What he said was unreasonable. After all, Xiao Cheng was the person involved, but now is not the time to talk about logic and rationality. The emotional catharsis is just a moment away. He couldn't hold back his thoughts, so he said it directly.

Xiao Cheng quietly lit a cigarette.

Apart from the balcony, Qi Ye has never seen Xiao Cheng smoke in other places.

"At that time, you said you would renew the extension for one year, and you insisted on going back to the bungalow..." Xiao Cheng suddenly said, "Is it because you want to investigate this IP address? Is it inconvenient for me?"

Qi Ye stared into his eyes and said "hmm" for a long time.

Then Xiao Cheng sighed softly.

He couldn't say anything more at this point, Qi Ye saw Xiao Cheng smoking for a while, and then closed the door.

The two didn't bring up the subject after that.

Xiao Cheng works, cooks after finishing, and then goes downstairs to exercise.

Qi Ye played the guitar, playing the overtones back and forth, and saw that Xiao Cheng had left food, so he sat down and ate alone.

They still share a room.

No matter how much you quarrel during the day, no matter how much you toss, after all, it is a relationship between lovers, and you still have to learn to face it together.

The two of them have no experience in love. It's good that they don't have any conflicts during the time they get together. If they have disagreements, they can be resolved. The key lies in the particularity of this matter, which magnifies the places that they didn't get along with before.

"I'll go back by myself tomorrow." Qi Ye's tone was very flat, and it sounded light.

Xiao Cheng glanced at him, and suddenly felt that he couldn't catch him.

But how to say, the emotional control over the years has long become a habit, and in the end he just agreed and said yes.

Qi Ye shrank when he heard this.

Turning off the night light, he was about to sleep with his back to Xiao Cheng, but suddenly he was wrapped into a hot embrace.

He didn't struggle, didn't lose his temper and said to let go, Qi Ye was hugged by him, and stayed there obediently.

In an environment with almost no light, more than just words can be communicated.

Qi Ye heard his pounding heartbeat and rapid and unsteady breathing in the darkness.

——What are you nervous about?

Are you afraid that he will leave like this, or are you afraid that they will end like this?

Qi Ye didn't know, or rather, he never thought about it.

But the sense of security is different for everyone, not only Xiao Cheng, but also him.

After a long time, Xiao Cheng sighed and suddenly said, "It's all my fault."

His voice was hoarse, like rusty strings roasted by a fire. As soon as Qi Ye heard it, the depressed mood in the afternoon almost disappeared. It was because he felt sorry for the other party that he became like this, and he was not really angry to that extent.

Both parties are right, they are just a little stubborn.

"I shouldn't ask you in such a tone in the afternoon." Xiao Cheng continued, "At that time, I thought... such a dangerous matter, you should investigate behind my back, and I would be in a mess. If it is because of me, you will go through it again. What, I will regret it for the rest of my life..."

Qi Ye closed his eyes, put his hand on the back of Xiao Cheng's, and listened quietly.For some reason, the body temperature from the person behind him was a bit rough at this moment.

"It's okay." Qi Ye said, "That was just an angry word. I won't leave tomorrow, and you have to send me back if I want to go back."

"I'm really scared, I just don't want you to go through these things..."

Xiao Cheng seemed to have not heard what he said, still muttering in a slightly painful way.

All the perfect barriers built in the past 30 years seem to have collapsed at this moment in front of the one I love deeply.

After listening for a while, Qi Ye faintly felt that something was wrong.

"You..." He turned to look at Xiao Cheng, stretched out his hand to brush away his half-wet hair, and touched his forehead.

Burning hot.

The author says:

Let's go back a little bit, this matter can't go on without a positive confrontation, so give the two cubs a little time.
