Banshuharu

In his sophomore year, in the first month of being broken up by Xu Ruiyang, Pingqiu skipped class for the first time in his life, took the train to his school, and squatted at the school gate with his backpack in his arms for two full days.

After finally bumping into Xu Ruiyang's friend, Ping Qiu didn't understand, and anxiously asked Xu Ruiyang what's wrong, why he couldn't be contacted, whether there was an accident or other circumstances.

The classmate was very surprised when he heard the words, and looked at each other, saying that Xu Ruiyang went to and from school normally these days, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about him. If he had to say that there was something wrong with him, it was that he stayed in the dormitory for longer and longer. He refused perfunctorily, saying that he had something to do, but he obviously had nothing to do and would just sit in a daze.As he said that, the classmate on the other side added, guessing that Xu Ruiyang broke up recently, so he was in a bad mood.The roommate was surprised, and listened to the analysis of his classmates. The reason was that "Xu Ruiyang had already taken off the ring he had worn for a year." With sufficient evidence, he unconsciously nodded and said yes.

Everyone has voyeuristic desires, the roommate curiously asked this childhood friend of Xu Ruiyang in front of him, but saw that his face was pale, his thin shoulders seemed to be unable to hold any weight and he was falling heavily, the roommate was so frightened that he wanted to help him.

But Ping Qiu broke away from his support, slowly put the backpack in his arms on his shoulders, thanked him again, then turned and left.He has already got the answer, and then he should consider that he bought the train ticket at [-] o'clock at night, if he doesn't hurry up, he might miss it.

It's not that I didn't think about it. Maybe it's just that Xu Ruiyang couldn't bear the pressure from his family for a while. He wanted time and space to calm down. This is also human nature. He was angry, so when Xu Ruiyang came to apologize in the future, he would definitely not let go as softly as he did every time before. He had to give Xu Ruiyang some pain, so that he would know that he would not always forgive him without a bottom line.

Later, Ping Qiu didn't wait for Xu Ruiyang's explanation and apology, he couldn't help lowering his standards, thinking that it was the two of them's fault after all, leaving it to Xu Ruiyang alone, it was indeed a little too much.If Xu Ruiyang could sincerely say sorry and ask Ping Qiu for forgiveness for his inexplicable coldness and violence, Ping Qiu would also ignore the past and treat his indifference as just a moment of helplessness.

But when time passed and there was less and less news about Xu Ruiyang, Ping Qiu realized that he and Xu Ruiyang had broken up.

For a while, Pingqiu was in an extremely bad state.Because of his loss of appetite, he was thin and unresponsive, and the normal relationship with his roommates and classmates dropped to freezing point.I have also seen a doctor, but only two or three times. The high cost of seeing a doctor is too high for an ordinary college student in Pingqiu to bear.

On the most uncomfortable night, he sat blankly on the head of the bed, surrounded by his roommate who was so sound asleep that he snored.That was the first time and the only time that Pingqiu failed to resist the biting loneliness and took the initiative to call Ping Qinghong.

Ping Qinghong should be very surprised when he received his call, because there was no sound for a long time after she connected, all Ping Qiu heard was her breathing on the other end, and the faint hum of motor vehicles passing by outside the window .Pingqiu bit his fingers and shed tears, the tears flowed into the palm of his hand, he silently wiped his palm, and wiped off the teardrops on his chin with his arm.

He is grateful that Ping Qinghong is still willing to answer his phone at this time, no matter what the reason is, whether she misread the number or just a moment of kindness, apart from her, Pingqiu has no one else who can listen to each other's breathing at night .He dreamed blankly: Maybe she loves me a little bit.

But just as Ping Qiu was holding his breath and was about to speak, there was a beeping sound from the receiver—Ping Qinghong hung up.Pingqiu paused for a while, put the phone away from his ear, and held it in his palm.He pressed the screen carefully, but the phone got stuck and stopped at the dialing interface.Ping Qiu wanted to take the initiative to hang up, but he couldn't press it. Fortunately, Ping Qinghong refused the call and didn't make him lose face again.

Over time, Pingqiu Society no longer expected Xu Ruiyang.He began to integrate into the group, and learned to smile when his classmates boasted, which was regarded as a response, or flattery.He began to learn to heal himself, to consciously avoid unhappiness, and it turned out that time did indeed heal his anxiety and injuries.A year passed, and he began to meet new partners, including male students from the same school and juniors from neighboring schools, but most of the relationship remained at the stage of mutual understanding, and Ping Qiu would take the initiative to call it quits.

It's not that he hasn't met someone who is too sensitive and clever. Pingqiu remembers that there is a junior named Guo, who has a gentle and easy-going personality.But two people with too similar personalities are usually hard to spark. On the day of separation, the junior asked Pingqiu if he was unhappy, Pingqiu shook his head and said no, it was very comfortable to get along with him.The junior said no, he was asking if you have been unhappy all the time.Ping Qiu was taken aback, and listened to his encouragement, if you are only six percent happy, there is no need to pretend to be very happy, this will give the other party a wrong signal, harming others and yourself.

After that, Ping Qiu learned his lesson and retracted into his shell again.It wasn't until he met Lu Yang that he really started his second relationship.Although the ending is still unsatisfactory, for Pingqiu, he is grateful for Lu Yang's appearance, and he is sincerely ashamed that he failed to live up to his affection.

A few years is short, in those years, Pingqiu has come into contact with many people, but none of them is named Xu Ruiyang.Therefore, Ping Qiu couldn't understand why he could walk so simply back then, but now he can stand in front of him in such a grand manner, as if he was acting in an idol drama where the protagonist reunited after a long time, and said to him: If possible, I want to be with him You talk.

Ping Qiu backed away almost subconsciously, separating a distance of two people from Xu Ruiyang.He was full of defense: "How do you know that I live here? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to find you." Xu Ruiyang didn't evade the question, but his answer obviously confused Ping Qiu even more.

Ping Qiu lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the shirt button on his chest, it was a diamond-shaped tortoiseshell button, and it seemed to be shining with colorful spots under the sun: "What do you want me for?"

"I have something to tell you."

"Say it," Ping Qiu didn't look up, but kept staring at the button on Xu Ruiyang's chest, "Just say it here."

"Find a place, let's sit down and talk slowly."

"I don't have time, I'm going home. If you don't plan to say it here, then there's no need to say it." After saying that, Ping Qiu immediately turned around, almost trying to run away from Xu Ruiyang.

But Xu Ruiyang easily grabbed his upper arm and stopped him from running away.The coat is thin, and Ping Qiu can feel the warmth of his palms and the trembling of Xu Ruiyang's hands.Pingqiu stopped at the same spot without moving, at this moment he struggled with his arm again, and Xu Ruiyang let go.

After a moment of silence, Ping Qiu turned his head and met his eyes, and the emotions in each other's eyes were instantly clear.Pingqiu saw that Xu Ruiyang's eyes were flushed, he hated himself for being immodestly patient: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Let's talk." Xu Ruiyang still said so.

"What else do we have to talk about? Why did you come to me, why did you know that I lived here, or do you want to talk about the past? But there was nothing to talk about before, didn't we reach a consensus, I won't find you, You don't need to find me, so what do you mean now?"

"I just want to talk to you. I haven't seen you for a long time, no matter how much, we have something to say... I think you should know about my family situation," Xu Ruiyang said, "I'm waiting for you here. "

Although acquiescing to Xu Ruiyang's request, Ping Qiu is still uneasy.He was nervous because he didn't know why Xu Ruiyang came, and he also felt awkward because he was going to be alone with Xu Ruiyang.And the most important point, Ping Qiu didn't know how to explain to Xu Xiuyuan that his brother suddenly came to the door without warning, and how Xu Ruiyang knew the address here, would he also know that there was another Xu Xiuyuan living with him—— Pingqiu resisted in his heart to face Xu Ruiyang face to face, but he was also worried that Xu Ruiyang would be too stubborn to leave.Based on Pingqiu's understanding of him, Xu Ruiyang's character is similar to Xu Xiuyuan's, one of which is that he will not give up until he reaches his goal.

But Pingqiu also knew that brothers Xu Ruiyang and Xu Xiuyuan had always been at odds with each other, not to mention that he was the current brother Xu Xiuyuan and the predecessor of his brother Xu Ruiyang, which made it even more difficult for Pingqiu to speak.

The only consolation was that Xu Xiuyuan would only go home at night, so he might be able to spend half the afternoon dismissing Xu Ruiyang, so that their peaceful life would not be disturbed by this uninvited guest.

But when he entered the house and found that Xu Xiuyuan was looking at the scenery from the window with a cup in his hand, Ping Qiu frowned in fright and his heart beat like thunder.He stammered: "Aren't you supposed to be in class, why are you at home?"

Xu Xiuyuan had probably taken a bath, so his hair was a little damp, and there were some water stains on the back of his neck.He casually threw the water cup on the sink, walked over and took the large paper bag in Pingqiu's arms, took a look inside, and said with a smile: "There are dried fruits, I saw it."

"Ah, I bought some. The mall is doing promotional activities. Buy one get one free." Pingqiu lowered his head to change his shoes in a pretentious manner, and asked repeatedly, "I haven't said yet, don't you have classes in the afternoon? Why are you at home now?"

"Lu Zhiyuan misremembered the timetable, they went out to play, I'll go home," Xu Xiuyuan turned his head and asked, "Do you cook fish today?"

"Well, didn't you say you wanted to eat braised fish two days ago?"

"I just said it casually. Are you going to eat now?"

"It's still early, I'm going to change clothes first."

Thinking about how to find an excuse to slip away, Ping Qiu just pressed the doorknob of the bedroom when the doorbell rang suddenly.

Xu Xiu stayed close, he washed his hands casually, then walked to the door in two or three steps, and turned on the videophone.

He didn't see him open the door, but froze, Ping Qiu asked him what's the matter suspiciously, but Xu Xiuyuan looked back at him with a strange expression.Feeling bad suddenly, without waiting for Pingqiu's reaction, Xu Xiuyuan opened the door of the house, followed by Xu Ruiyang appeared.

At that moment, it was as if thousands of worms were born to bite Pingqiu's back.He heard the sound of a fist hitting flesh, and then saw Xu Xiuyuan fall back and hit the shelf on the side with the back of his head.

Xu Ruiyang stepped into the door expressionlessly, without saying a word, he just looked down at Xu Xiuyuan, then bent down and lifted his collar, swung his arm, and punched him again.

Being dizzy and tinnitus from his several punches, Xu Xiuyuan coughed and folded his arms in front of his face.From the corner of the eye, Xu Ruiyang's next punch was about to be swung, and he remained motionless until he was blocked by Ping Qiu who was rushing towards him.

"Don't hit him!" Knowing that he couldn't stop Xu Ruiyang's fist, Ping Qiu fell to his knees and threw himself in front of Xu Xiuyuan.He was so anxious that he could not speak coherently, and found that Xu Xiuyuan's face was bruised, and there was even blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes filled with tears in fright.He looked up at Xu Ruiyang angrily, and shouted: "Don't hit him! Why did you hit him, why did you hit him!"

"Go away," Xu Xiuyuan pushed his lower back, "Hurry up and go away."

"Why do you hit him! What right do you have to hit him!" Ping Qiu shouted angrily, holding Xu Xiuyuan's head tightly with both arms.

"Pingqiu," Xu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, raised his hand to support Pingqiu's shoulder, "help me up first."

Hearing that, Ping Qiu carefully hugged Xu Xiuyuan's waist.Because Xu Xiuyuan put all his strength on him, Ping Qiu struggled to support him, and also pressed him even tighter, Xu Xiuyuan's breathing was even close to his ear.

In order to prevent Xu Ruiyang from being unable to control his strike any longer, Ping Qiu took Xu Xiuyuan back two steps to ensure that he could stand still, so he took another half step forward to block Xu Xiuyuan.

"Why do you beat him? He's your younger brother. Can't you say something well? Do you have to do it? Does it make you happy to beat him up?"

"You protect him?" Xu Ruiyang sneered, "You protect Xu Xiuyuan in front of me?"

"It's your fault first!"

"I asked you if you were?!"

"..."

"In front of me, you protect him? Are you together, living together? He coaxed you around and made you listen to him in everything. Even if he cheated everyone by tricks, you will treat him as pitiful." Just squatting at your feet like a dog and letting you pity him, eh?"

While speaking, Xu Ruiyang took half a step forward.Ping Qiu suddenly stood upright, and unconsciously opened his arms to protect Xu Xiuyuan behind him.He raised his head and stared fiercely at Xu Ruiyang: "You still want to hit him! Okay, if you want to teach him a lesson, why not teach me first, I'm older than him, so I always do the wrong thing first, right? To tell you the truth, yes I'll chase him first. Since you want to do something, put me down first. Don't try to touch him in front of me."

"You chased him?" Xu Ruiyang laughed angrily as his chest heaved violently, "Pingqiu, tell me that you chased Xu Xiuyuan on your own initiative? Tell me that you chased Xu Xiuyuan?"

"So what?" Ping Qiu stood in front of Xu Xiuyuan stubbornly, "In short, you shouldn't hit Xiuyuan. It was your fault first, and you should apologize to him."

"I apologize to him?" Xu Ruiyang asked back as if hearing a joke, "I apologize to him? Why should I apologize to him?!"

"It's up to you to fight..."

"Then he lied to me?" Xu Ruiyang interrupted, "How about he lied to you? Lied to everyone else? How do you count them? Is it clear? I'll beat him lightly!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Even if Xiuyuan did something wrong, then you shouldn't beat him. He is your brother, not your enemy. Even if you don't love him, you shouldn't do anything to him."

His eyes glanced at Pingqiu who was full of defense and anger, and he jumped to Xu Xiuyuan behind him. When he saw the smile in his eyes, Xu Ruiyang's anger and hatred suddenly burned higher than the sky.Until then, Xu Ruiyang was finally sure: Xu Xiuyuan did it on purpose, he tricked Pingqiu into his trick, just to get revenge on me.

Clenching his fists, Xu Ruiyang could hardly continue to stay in this room full of traces of cohabitation between Ping Qiu and Xu Xiuyuan.He suppressed his anger and said to Ping Qiu: "We need to talk."

In the end, the battle ended with Xu Ruiyang slamming the door away, and the two sides temporarily ceased fighting.

Helped Xu Xiuyuan to sit on the sofa, saw that the corners of his mouth were black and bruised, his forehead had a lump, and his usual handsome appearance looked particularly aggrieved at this moment, but when asked if he was in pain, Xu Xiuyuan shook his head, comforting Pingqiu and said it was okay. Well, it didn't hurt as much as he imagined.

Pingqiu pitied him for the unwarranted disasters, especially because he was the cause of these disasters. He felt unspeakably guilty for a while, said sorry repeatedly, wiped his face, hurriedly took out the medical bag, knelt on the sofa with one leg, and coaxed Xu Xiuyuan to raise his head slightly. He was going to put some lotion on his scratched cheek.

Xu Xiuyuan raised his head cooperatively, stared at Pingqiu without blinking, and suddenly said: "Don't go."

"Is it still useful to refuse now?" Ping Qiu did not agree, "If he has something to say, let him do it. I don't care."

"You care."

"I don't care. What's the use of caring? It's all over. Whether he wants to defend himself, blame him, or redeem him, that's all in the past. What's the use of mentioning it now."

"But you care."

"What's more, he beat you and hurt you like this. What else can I talk to him about? I don't understand. What does he mean by coming to me now? What else can we talk about? He will always do some useless work , obviously..."

"You care about him."

"I said I don't care!"

There was a cry out of control, and at the same time, Ping Qiu increased his strength as if venting his anger, and Xu Xiuyuan hissed in pain, which made the already delicate atmosphere between the two of them freeze immediately.The voice was still on the lips, Ping Qiu was at a loss because of his inexplicable impatience towards Xu Xiuyuan, so he couldn't help letting go, and the brown-red potion drew a trace on the corner of Xu Xiuyuan's mouth.

Suddenly waking up from a dream, Ping Qiu hurriedly wiped it with his fingers, but Xu Xiuyuan dodged it.

"Do you know what I've been most afraid of all this time?" Xu Xiuyuan said, "It's today, and it's your reaction. You could promise me that you don't care about him anymore, it's just because Xu Ruiyang hasn't appeared in front of you for too long But as long as he comes, admits his mistake to you, and tells you that he has always loved you the most, and you are the one he loves the most, you will abandon me without hesitation. Then what am I to you? The scraps related to Xu Ruiyang are a substitute for you to maintain the relationship with him, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't think so at all. To me, you are you, he is him, and there is no such thing as a replacement," Ping Qiu apologized, "I hurt you just now, right? I didn't On purpose, I just don't like your tone of voice. We've been together for so long, don't you believe me? Don't you think I was just putting on a show before, and I can't even tell you apart from your brother? "

"But you still have to go find him."

"It's not that I'm going to find him, it's because there are some problems that haven't been completely resolved."

"What do you want to know, do you know why he abandoned you back then?" Xu Xiuyuan sneered, "Does this kind of question need an answer? Then let me tell you, because Xu Ruiyang is weak and incompetent, he refuses to take responsibility for everything he did, my mother Ask him to make a choice between home and you. Obviously, he chose my mother, he denied you, this is the answer you want, are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?"

"I know."

"You know, but you still fantasize about him."

"It's not a fantasy. I know better than you who I have in my heart right now." Ping Qiu gently held Xu Xiuyuan's hand, "Don't be so anxious, I won't leave you. It's just because, I feel that there is something between me and him. , there are still some things that I haven't said clearly, after all, he is your brother, and things have been going on so far, some things must be made clear, so that you will not face him in the future, so that you won't fight like today, right?"

"You always have good reasons."

"But you understand, don't you?"

"...Yes, but I want to go too."

"Are you going too?"

"I don't trust him, and I don't trust you either," Xu Xiuyuan said blankly, "Just think of me as suspicious, I won't give him any chance."

If it was the usual situation, if Xu Xiuyuan proposed that he wanted to accompany him, there is a high probability that Pingqiu would not refuse.But then, Ping Qiu remembered what Xu Ruiyang said downstairs, he was going to talk to him about the family situation, whether those Xu Xiuyuan knew about it, Ping Qiu was not sure, so he didn't know how to persuade Xu Xiuyuan.

After dealing with each other for a long time, Xu Xiuyuan just refused to let go. It was not until Pingqiu lost his temper that he rarely let go, and each of them took a step back—Pingqiu promised him that he would return home within an hour, and Xu Xiuyuan promised that he would only stay downstairs, but When they got home, Pingqiu had to tell Xu Xiuyuan truthfully all the content of their conversation, and then it was over.

Sitting in front of Xu Ruiyang, when Ping Qiu lowered his head, he suddenly found that the corner of his clothes was dirty, a reddish-brown stain, like a potion.He rubbed it lightly with his fingers, and instead of making the stain smaller, it expanded in scope.

Xu Ruiyang handed the plush toy to Ping Qiu, but Ping Qiu didn't take it, so he just pushed it to the side of the table near Ping Qiu.After a while, the doll, which was already sitting unstable, fell to the ground. Pingqiu thought for a moment before bending down to pick it up, put it down, and drop it again. He had no choice but to put the doll on his lap, but he still accepted it.

"Just now a girl said that she was starting a business. She scanned the QR code to get toys, and I took one," Xu Ruiyang explained the origin of the doll, "I can't guarantee whether you will like it now, after all, it was a long time ago. A beauty-loving little girl actually likes plush toys."

"Let's get straight to the point, what do you want to say?" Ping Qiu hated his insignificant small talk, as if he was full of reluctance and nostalgia for the past between them, "Also, how do you know my address? You deliberately Are you here for Xiuyuan?"

"Xu Xiuyuan? What does he want to do, and what does it have to do with me... As for finding you, it's not too difficult for me."

"So, you came to find me on purpose?" Ping Qiu pinched the doll's arm, a short piece of which was deformed in his hands, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't waste time."

"I owe you an apology."

"..." Ping Qiu looked at him.

"It stands to reason that I should tell you why I chose to unilaterally lose contact with you back then, and then say how painful I was between you and my mother. You think I will say that, right? Xu Ruiyang looked directly at Pingqiu, "But I won't say, this is my choice, something has happened, even if I repent, I can't make it up, so I won't ask you to forgive me. You blame me, or hate me, This is all within my expectations, and I won't force you to be considerate. But I don't understand, you chose to be with Xu Xiuyuan, is it your way of revenge on me? Or, you not only want revenge on me, but also my mother? "

"Are you questioning me?" Pingqiu laughed, "Whom I choose to be with is my freedom and has nothing to do with you. To you, Xiuyuan may be your younger brother or your mother's child, but to you To me, he is just Xu Xiuyuan, I like him, I love him. Do you understand? You really don’t need to be sentimental, put away your arrogant attitude, Xiuyuan is not a pet you can keep by your side, I don't need to be bossed around by you."

"You know what I mean!" Xu Ruiyang was upset and couldn't help closing his eyes, "I want to live your current life in thousands of ways, I think you may still be studying, or you may already be working , I think you may have a new partner, and your life will be considered easy."

Ping Qiu robbed: "Yes, these are my life. I have a boyfriend, and the relationship is not bad, at least he won't abandon me suddenly one day, or even lose contact completely without giving a reason. After all, not everyone is like You are so irresponsible."

"So I don't want to know about your life, and I don't dare to understand at all. I can't stand that you have a new boyfriend. You love him very much. I even hope that you have never forgotten me in these years. You can hate me every day You will always think of me, whether you want to cut me into pieces, or look forward to my return, this at least shows that you still remember... But I didn't expect the person next to you to be Xu Xiuyuan. You say you love him, you love him What? Love him for being young, for being smart, or for being my brother?"

"Don't you understand? Xiuyuan and I..."

"Can you convince yourself? Convince yourself that you will look at Xu Xiuyuan more, just because you so-called 'Xu Xiuyuan is Xu Xiuyuan', not because he is my younger brother?" Xu Ruiyang said, "Pingqiu, you are too naive. Aside from all this, if you choose Xu Xiuyuan, what good is it for you? It's just going back to the old road, when he had to start 'Xu Ruiyang', you go back to the past, and then, you have to find the next one 'Xu Xiuyuan'?"

"Xiu Yuan is different from you," Ping Qiu emphasized clumsily, "He said that he is different from you."

"Do you believe it? Do you believe that he will abandon his parents who raised him for 20 years and choose to elope with you? Pingqiu, you know in your heart that this is simply impossible."

"Don't use your thinking to kidnap Xiuyuan, he is different from you, at least he won't lie to me!"

"How do you know he didn't lie to you!" Xu Ruiyang snapped.

"..." Ping Qiu was stunned and speechless.

"Do you think he is ready to elope with you? Do you believe it, Pingqiu? You don't even dare to know what he did behind the scenes," Xu Ruiyang said, "How did he deceive you? Lied to you Said that he has solved the situation in our family and my mother? Comfort you don’t worry, he will always have a way to let you live a happy life in the future, no one will disturb you? Pingqiu, don’t forget, as long as he Without leaving home, his promise to you will always be a blank check, and your so-called future is just a dream of yours."

The beautiful fantasy was torn to pieces, Pingqiu was full of panic and panic.Just as Xu Ruiyang was about to hold his clenched fists, a cell phone rang suddenly.Pingqiu seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and he lowered his head to answer the phone. Chu Tiwei was on the opposite side, saying that he needed his help when encountering difficulties.

Getting up in a hurry, Ping Qiu was about to leave regardless of Xu Ruiyang's inquiry.Before leaving, his eyes fell on the plush toy that was left out in the cold.A sense of trance suddenly surged in his heart, Ping Qiu bent down to pick it up, and put it to Xu Ruiyang's side.

"I don't need dolls anymore," he said.

As night fell, the sky was full of neon lights outside the window. Xu Ruiyang was a little dazed looking at it, habitually touched his pockets, and just put the cigarette case on the table, the waiter who was watching him immediately stepped forward and reminded him that smoking is not allowed indoors. If he needs it, he can choose to go to the smoking area around the corner.Xu Ruiyang didn't explain that he didn't intend to smoke a cigarette at this time to vent his emotions, but it was just a habit—it was a habit.

At this time, suddenly there was a bang bang sound outside the door, followed by the screaming and clamoring of the crowd, which attracted the customers in the hall to look at the source of the sound.Probably there was a car rear-end on the street, and several cars were hit in a row. The situation does not look optimistic.

I wanted to ignore it, but my mind suddenly skipped the shadow.Xu Ruiyang suddenly cheered up, quickly took off his coat and ran outside.He walked through the crowd of onlookers, and his height advantage allowed him to easily survey the whole picture of the accident. He did not have a rough look at Pingqiu. Just as his heart fell, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and found a figure struggling in the back seat of a taxi. When the door was pushed down to the ground, my heart suddenly lifted again.He almost broke through the crowd and pushed forward desperately.

Feeling dizzy, Ping Qiu shook his head lightly, but there were still bursts of buzzing in his ears.At the same time, Pingqiu's vision blurred, and even the zebra crossing under his feet was blurred, and he could vaguely hear shouts. He just raised his head, and suddenly hugged him head-on. The smell is like a familiar fragrance in memory.

A large-scale accident occurred in the urban area, causing many casualties, and the police came quickly.Ping Qiu was still a little dizzy and couldn't stand still, so Xu Ruiyang could only support his waist.He took notes and then asked the police if he could leave.The policeman saw that his face was pale, his forehead was stained with blood, and his legs were a little limp, but Pingqiu said that he was fine, so he let him go casually, and only reminded him that they would contact him again if something happened.

Pingqiu broke away from Xu Ruiyang's support, and went to the other side of the road with a limp leg, but Xu Ruiyang chased him and grabbed his arm, but he couldn't use his strength, so he could only reprimand softly: "Don't touch me, I have something to do...don't pull me."

"What could be more important than your life?" Xu Ruiyang tugged at him, "I'll take you to the hospital."

"My friend has something to do, I'm going to find her."

There was nothing he could do about it, Xu Ruiyang could only agree to take Pingqiu there.Before getting in the car, he took off his coat and handed it to Ping Qiu, but Ping Qiu didn't want it, Xu Ruiyang reminded him that his body was full of gasoline dirt and there was blood on his back.Helpless, Pingqiu could only accept it.

The address Chu Tiwei left was the hospital.Along the way, Pingqiu's condition improved a bit, but he was still a little dizzy and nauseous.Before getting out of the car, he dipped a paper towel in water to slowly wipe off the stains on his face, and then reminded Xu Ruiyang not to talk to Chu Tiwei about the accident just now.Xu Ruiyang looked at him cautiously, and was curious about the "friend" he said for a while, after all Pingqiu had always had a lack of friends, even in the past, there was only Xu Ruiyang.

In the noisy hospital corridor, Ping Qiu looked around, and finally found Chu Tiwei who was wearing thin clothes in a corner seat.She was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt, Ping Qiu touched her hand and found that she was shivering from the cold, her clothes were soaked, so he hurriedly took off his coat and put it on her.

Just about to ask her what happened, a burly middle-aged man suddenly came to the ward. He cursed Chu Tiwei's viciousness and slapped him in the air. Seeing this, Ping Qiu hurriedly took Chu Tiwei into his arms.But the expected slap did not fall, Ping Qiu looked up, Xu Ruiyang stood in front of the two of them, clamped the middle-aged man's wrist with one hand, and asked him in a cold voice what he wanted to do.

It seemed that his wrist was in severe pain from being squeezed by him. The middle-aged man's expression was distorted, and he asked Chu Tiwei angrily where he found helpers. Push it down, and you can trip up your group of wine and meat friends when you turn your head.

Xu Ruiyang let go of his hand, and the middle-aged man was pushed back again and again.He wanted to go forward again, but he was hesitant about Xu Ruiyang who was on the other side, and in the end he just retreated and cursed slightly at Chu Ti verbally.

With his arms around Chu Tiwei's shoulders, Ping Qiu tried to cover her ears.But Chu Ti shook her head slightly and refused, as if the other party's vicious words could keep her awake.

When the nurse heard the sound, she came to warn the hospital to stop making noise, and asked if Chu Xianfeng's family was there.The middle-aged man hurriedly raised his hand as a signal, and followed the nurse to leave. Before leaving, he turned his head and pointed at Chu Tiwei's nose, threatening her that the account had not been settled, and she should not try to escape.

The surroundings were finally quiet, Ping Qiu asked Chu Tiwei what happened in a low voice, but Chu Tiwei didn't answer, just lowered his head and clenched his fists.Ping Qiu gently covered the back of her hand, comforting her: "You can tell me if you have any difficulties, I will definitely help you."

After a long time, Chu Tiwei said that she wanted a sum of money for her mother's medical expenses.Ping Qiu was puzzled when she heard the words, thinking that her heart suddenly softened at a critical moment, but Chu Tiwei said no, her father was right just now, she was indeed the one who accidentally pushed Chu Xianfeng down the stairs.

"She asked me for money, and I said I didn't have it. She wanted to hit me, but when I pushed her, she fell down," Chu Tiwei explained, "The fall was so heavy that the doctor said to operate, but they couldn't afford the money." , I said that I will pay the money, but they will never come to me for money again...they agreed."

"Are you sure?"

"It's signed." Chu Tiwei took out a blank piece of paper from his pocket, signed the name crookedly, Chu Tiwei said it was her father's signature.

"Okay, that's fine."

Afterwards, Ping Qiu asked her how much she wanted, but she remained silent after listening, her dizzy head protested even more, and suddenly it hurt badly.

Even though Pingqiu lent her all the savings in his hand, Chu Tiwei could only make up half of the amount that Chu Tiwei wanted.But he also knew that Chu Tiwei's situation was similar to his. With her personality, she would never ask anyone for help until the last moment.

"Wei Wei, I still have..."

"I'll lend you." Suddenly, Xu Ruiyang interrupted.

The unexpected turning point made Pingqiu feel at a loss.But in a word, Xu Ruiyang easily solved the problem that made him and Chu Tiwei feel so difficult. Chu Tiwei also carefully signed the IOU, promising that he would pay back the money with interest on a monthly basis in the next few years.

Hearing this, Xu Ruiyang smiled, and his words were already the demeanor of a mature businessman: "You don't need to thank me, I lent you on the surface, but in fact I lent it to Pingqiu. If you want to thank me, you should thank him."

Ping Qiu insisted: "Anyway, thank you for helping Wei Wei."

"You don't understand?" Xu Ruiyang said, "I lent her money, but you owe me a favor. I don't have the kindness to help a stranger."

Feeling speechless for his calmness, Pingqiu suddenly found the gap between himself and Xu Ruiyang, so he could only remain silent.

At night, send Chu Tiwei home first, Ping Qiu told her not to think too much, if you have something to do, you can call him directly, no matter how late.

When he mentioned the phone, Ping Qiu was startled for a moment, and looked for the phone in his coat pocket, only to find that the phone was smashed into pieces in the previous rear-end collision.Not to mention the agreement with Xu Xiuyuan, Ping Qiu simply forgot all about it.He didn't want to ask Xu Ruiyang to take him home again, so he opened the door and got out of the car, and walked to the intersection to stop the taxi.

Xu Ruiyang walked over quickly and pulled him, forced Ping Qiu into the car, then locked the door and turned the car around.

On the way back, Pingqiu leaned wearily against the car window.He was thinking about many problems in a daze, for example, Xu Ruiyang was not in Beijing, how could he have an Audi with a Beijing license plate; he also thought that he had lost contact with Xu Xiuyuan for a long time and had not fulfilled his promise with Xu Xiuyuan. It was a quarrel—a quarrel, thinking of these two words, Pingqiu's head felt like a sharp pain in coordination.

Leaning against the car window, Ping Qiu unconsciously fell into a coma.When he woke up, he found that his head was not as swollen and painful as before. He took off his seat belt and got out of the car. Before closing the door, he thanked Xu Ruiyang who couldn't see his face clearly in the driver's seat.

I've been watching him disappear
