Overtone

Chapter 66

When the line was completely crossed, Qi Ye tightly grasped his fingertips, like the only solitary lamp found in the dark.

His hands were clasped tightly by Xiao Cheng, and he could only muffle his voice, biting Xiao Cheng's arms and shoulders sideways, and occasionally shouting "Professor Xiao" intermittently with his breath.

But it seems that this is not enough.

When the pain rises to another feeling, when the other party walks away all the heat, it will completely turn into a handful of fire in the winter night.

Xiao Cheng let go of Qi Ye's hands, sticking them to his ears, brushing his hair, and biting it almost as if venting, followed by a fine and intense kiss along the jaw line, and landed on the collarbone that followed the heaving of his chest.

Breathing and interlacing, only the sound of the other party's rapid heartbeat and the temperature of the hot skin can be heard.

Snowdrops hit the windows and crackled all night long.

It is said that the snowflakes in the south cannot stay, but when Qi Ye opened the curtains to let the faint morning light shine in, a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the air-conditioning box.

How noisy last night has gone with the withdrawn consciousness, and those who vented their emotions seem to disappear completely at the moment of exhaustion.

Xiao Cheng leaned behind Qi Ye, carefully rubbing his bruised side: "Go take a bath."

Qi Ye responded and glanced out of the window again.

Every part of the room was tossed to the extreme mess, Qi Ye stepped over the pillows and bottles scattered on the floor, couldn't stand still and was stunned by Xiao Cheng, and then went into the bathroom with a towel.

With the mirror on his back, Qi Ye leaned on Xiao Cheng's shoulder.

The steam is so dense that it makes people drowsy.

"Go to sleep in my room later." Xiao Cheng gently kissed Qi Ye's forehead, and rubbed his neck with the other hand behind his head.

Qi Ye rested his chin on Xiao Cheng's neck and said softly, "I'm too lazy to move."

The traces of being rubbed by the rough quilt before were still there, Qi Ye was wrapped in a bath towel, and was lying under the quilt surrounded by Xiao Cheng.

With a common bath fragrance on his body, Xiao Cheng helped him rub his arms with moderate strength, and then patted his back repeatedly, making Qi Ye squint his eyes as if coaxing him to sleep.

It is false to say that there is no topic, Qi Ye can't wait to share every moment, every second with Xiao Cheng.

But he was so sleepy that he struggled to say one more word. This kind of emotion was mixed with physical venting, and conflicting entanglements, all sank into a dream at this moment.

Xiao Cheng still patted Qi Ye lightly until he felt even and steady breathing, then he lowered his head and kissed the end of his eyes.

Looking at Qi Ye's sleeping profile, he said softly, "Let me go... how can I be willing."

When he woke up, it was already afternoon.

Qi Ye opened his eyes, blinked a few times and suddenly realized something, turned to look at Xiao Cheng - he was no longer by his side.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Cheng's voice came from the door.

Qi Ye said "Yes", and saw him come in with a big bag of things, double coffee and sandwiches, besides, there were vegetable porridge and fried dumplings.

"Go out and buy something to eat." Xiao Cheng put everything on the table, "I also bought the sandwiches from last night."

"It's really not necessary, just buy something casually." Qi Ye sat on the bed with his arms around his legs and looked at him.

Xiao Cheng smiled: "I'm afraid you will be greedy."

It still hurt a little when he got up, Qi Ye bit his lower lip, but he couldn't make a sound.He propped himself on the edge of the bed, put back his curly hair that was hanging down his head, and when he was about to stand up, Xiao Cheng stopped him.

"Don't move, I'll feed you." Xiao Cheng said, sitting by the bed with a bowl, scooped out a little with a spoon, and put it on the edge of the bowl to dry.

"It's fine." Qi Ye said, "It's just that I'm not used to it, just get up and walk around."

"It won't be like this next time." Xiao Cheng looked at the mark left on his neck and reached out to touch it, "I promise."

Qi Ye just smiled, his eyes were full of Xiao Cheng in front of him, he was fully occupied, and there would be nothing else.

In fact, in Qi Ye's eyes, it wasn't really overdone last night.

He's not the kind of person who is completely passive, and he still has some tolerance, but I haven't seen him in the past few months, and Qi Ye made those angry words again last night, so he can't get up to normal now.

After Xiao Cheng fed Qi Ye the porridge and turned around to pack his luggage, he heard Qi Ye call out to Professor Xiao, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

I asked this question last night, but neither of them planned to talk properly at that time.

Xiao Cheng paused, and said for a while: "I just want to come and see you."

Hearing this, Qi Ye frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is the concert starting next Saturday?"

"Well." Xiao Cheng said, "Here are three shows on weekends, and then go to other places, and the tour will continue until the end of January next year."

Qi Ye nodded, and was about to say something when his throat was blocked suddenly, "Ah".

"What's wrong?" Xiao Cheng looked at him.

"Is there still class in the academy?" Qi Ye said, "Why did you come here early, what a delay."

As he spoke, he stood up to help Xiao Cheng tidy up, when suddenly his wrist was lightly grabbed.Xiao Cheng looked straight into his eyes and said, "I'm resigning."

After his words fell, Qi Ye's mind went blank for a moment, and he froze in place.

After a long time, he opened his mouth in disbelief: "...resigned?"

Such a job, how many people are envious of fighting for their heads outside, just want to squeeze into this ivory tower.Qi Ye grabbed Xiao Cheng's arm with his backhand, but did not continue.

Xiao Cheng sighed softly and hugged him: "Don't worry."

The tone of these words was too firm, and Qi Ye sounded as if he could immediately agree with it, but how to say it, Professor Xiao must have his own considerations.

"There are many reasons." Xiao Cheng sat on the sofa and let Qi Ye lean on his shoulder, "When I first returned to China, under the arrangement of my parents, I entered the Conservatory of Music in a daze and became a visiting professor. , I discovered that playing this stage is the most suitable..."

It was rare for Xiao Cheng to say so much, but he didn't mention Qi Ye, but just because he didn't say anything about it, it didn't mean Qi Ye didn't know anything about it.

Qi Ye lowered his head and leaned against Xiao Cheng, slowly letting go of the stone in his heart, and finally said with a helpless smile: "I'm going to be a sinner forever."

"If you think this is one of the reasons, you can make up for it." Xiao Cheng also laughed. It was rare for him to make a joke at this time, which eased the atmosphere a lot.

They were silent for a few seconds.

Qi Ye was still leaning on his strong shoulders, when Xiao Cheng suddenly said, "It's actually an opportunity."

"what?"

"Remember the symphony orchestra that was looking for me some time ago?"

Qi Ye hummed and said he knew.

When Xiao Cheng was asked if he had any intention of being the lead performer, he was very happy for several days, but in the end he regretted giving up because of conflicts in the school's schedule.

"They have already contacted me, and they will make an appointment to talk with me after returning from this tour." Xiao Cheng hugged Qi Ye's shoulders tightly, "Those things that worry about will never happen, and it is impossible for them to happen again."

Qi Ye bit his lower lip, turned his head and kissed Xiao Cheng's cheek.

Although Xiao Cheng said it very easily, Qi Ye knew that this step must be very stressful and risky.

But what you can do now is to respect your lover's decision and trust him.

Because they still trust each other - no matter where, under what circumstances.

The ensemble that Xiao Cheng belonged to arrived three days later and lived in a hotel next to the theater in the suburbs.

So Qi Ye moved over from the small inn.

This scene, just like when the bungalow was moved to Xiao Cheng's house, was very familiar.

Normally, Xiao Cheng would go out to the theater during the day, and Qi Ye would go to the rehearsal by car. When they came back in the evening, they would tacitly bring each other a lot of food, and then pile it all on the table. The two continued to work on their respective jobs.

Qi Ye sketched the music score, occasionally looking back at Xiao Cheng.

Needless to say, I feel at ease, satisfied and happy at a glance.

And when the two of them finished their busy work and watched TV together, there would always be one party who would quietly catch fire.

I haven't seen each other for four months, and I don't have to hold back when I feel like it. I can vent if I want to vent, and I can do whatever I want.Things that were only marginal before were messed up by them a few days ago, and now they have more choices.

Qi Ye was sitting on the table, holding onto Xiao Cheng's hair tightly. He raised his head and tensed his back as he breathed intertwinedly, and couldn't help but let out a little sound.

Behind them was a whole piece of floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light came in through the glass without any cover.

Qi Ye just glanced at him distractedly, before he had time to speak, Xiao Cheng broke his chin again, tightly blocked his lips, his nerves sent that terrible feeling, he lost all strength, turned off the lights, pulled The curtains are weak.

In the end, when the two of them had had enough fun and the bathroom was exhausted, they leaned contentedly against the head of the bed and chatted softly.

Qi Ye was lying on Xiao Cheng's lap, brushing the side of his half-dried curly hair, feeling a little drowsy again.

Xiao Cheng rubbed Qi Ye's bruised and swollen area, and when he touched his neck, his movements suddenly stopped.

"Huh?" Qi Ye's voice was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Cheng smiled: "It's okay, go to sleep."

The slender fingertips gently wrapped around the hair, and opened the hidden place to the light—the violin is not a secret, and there is no need to hide anything, but the blooming red roses carry too many memories, is entirely theirs.

"After we separated, I always felt empty." Qi Ye tilted his head and said to Xiao Cheng, "But after getting the violin and rose tattoos on, I felt at ease in an instant, and felt that you were always by my side."

This is indeed the case. Participating in the competition does not mean that there is no confidence. The experience is enough to deal with many on-the-spot situations. However, Qi Ye lacks the energy to rush forward and will always be subconsciously worried about something.

And with this tattoo on the back of his neck, Qi Ye became more at ease.

Every time before going on stage, when he is reciting the guitar, he always brushes his hair a little more, and rubs it gently in circular motions.

It's like being with the person you love the most, with him by your side, with him during the competition, and with him when you finally win the honor.

But Qi Ye didn't talk about this experience in the end.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to lose face. After all, brother Qi's identity could not be lost, and Xiao Cheng could not let Xiao Cheng know his secret.

On the night before the regional finals, Qi Ye leaned on Xiao Cheng's shoulder to read the music score, and went through the final preparation.

Xiao Cheng circled him, put the cushion behind his waist, and turned on the chandelier by the bed with one hand.

After watching for a while, Qi Ye suddenly called out "Professor Xiao".

"What's wrong?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"It's nothing." Qi Ye said, "It's just a pity."

Xiao Cheng raised his hand and rubbed the curly hair on his forehead.

"Maybe it's a bit pretentious to say that." Qi Ye said while drawing circles on Xiao Cheng's abdomen through the quilt: "Tomorrow I will play the finals, and you happen to be the first day of performance... Even though everyone is on the stage, no one can play." Can't see anyone."

Xiao Cheng will perform in the theater next door tomorrow, and the final scene that Qi Ye will record will be in the city center.

It's quite a distance, and even tomorrow until midnight, the two of them might not be able to see each other, let alone be with each other.

A light click.

Xiao Cheng took off the earring on the right ear.

He carefully placed the two silver ear buttons in his palm and fiddled with them.

Qi Ye followed his movements and looked over.

Under the halo refracted by the light, you can see two letters engraved on the inside - "Q" and "Y".

One by one, they are worn on the ear bones, completely forming the lover's initials.

"It's not just you who accompany me." Xiao Cheng continued to put his arms around him, and said softly, "These days, you are also the one who accompanied me through the day and night."

Seeing Qi Ye looking at him, Xiao Cheng clenched his hands tightly, and their fingers intertwined - the earrings were held in the palms, warming the warmth of both.

He tilted his head and kissed Qi Ye, then leaned against his ear and whispered, "Tomorrow we will go on stage together."
