Danqing

On the second day after Qin Songxue left the small county, a nationwide obituary made him feel uncomfortable for a while. As Gao Chengxi and Yi Xiuyun expected, Mr. Yi didn't make it this time and went away.Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, Qin Songxue sent a message to Yi Xiuyun to express his condolences.

Chen Qiye is very stupid on the surface, but in fact he is much more reliable than Qin Songxue, Qin Songxue hardly worried about it along the way, and it was Chen Qiye who managed it up and down.The two carefully selected some tourist routes in the hotel, and watched the scenery along the way by train.

During the period, Chen Qiye also taught Qin Songxue to play two-player poker, but Qin Songxue would lose every time. Qin Songxue felt that Chen Qiye was cheating and warned him not to do so.Chen Qiye smiled and said that he didn't cheat, he just remembered the order of all the cards he drew.Tan Songxue felt that he was bragging, and after two more games, he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

In the past, Qin Songxue thought that Gao Chengxi was enough to chatter, but since meeting Chen Qiye, Qin Songxue knew what chattering was, and Chen Qiye never stopped talking, telling stories to Tan Songxue all the time. .

However, Qin Songxue is a very curious person. The topics Chen Qiye chooses are usually related to a country's special institutions, like the live-action version of 007. Qin Songxue couldn't stop listening to it, and left all the unhappy things behind. the back of the head.

It took the two of them more than a month to visit all the scenic spots in China. Chen Qiye also taught Qin Songxue how to evade fares at the scenic spots, leaving Qin Songxue speechless.But later Chen Qiye said that Chen Kezhi came to reimburse him anyway, and it didn't matter if he escaped or not, as if he was contributing to the country's GDP, Qin Songxue was completely speechless.

When the National Day was over, Chen Qiye told Tan Songxue to go back to N City, and the matter was settled.

Qin Songxue didn't react.

"What's done?"

Chen Qiye: "Isn't it just the trouble between you and Chen Kezhi, my man is waiting in N city now, let's go there quickly."

Qin Songxue: "Wait...you've been helping me with this thing when we were playing outside?"

Chen Qiye: "Well, don't you all do business during the day and business at night?"

Qin Songxue understood his pun and couldn't help laughing.

Chen Qiye winked at Tan Songxue: "I've booked the ticket, get ready to go, and I'll show you my man by the way."

What makes Qin Songxue feel strange is that from Chen Qiye's words, it can be seen that he has a very good relationship with his man, but there is no photo related to his man in Chen Qiye's mobile phone.Chen Qiye's explanation for this is that it's better to be careful in their business, and it's best not to have such personal items as mobile phones, because if something goes wrong, it will be very difficult to end.

Qin Songxue didn't quite understand this.

"Why do you care about this? Anyway, you are going to meet him in real life. I sent him a message, and he will pick us up at the station." Chen Qiye finished smoking his last cigarette, threw away the cigarette case, and went to I bought a pack of gum to chew, and gave Tan Songxue a piece by the way, "Damn it, I can't smoke anymore when I get home, it's really annoying... Hey, your phone is ringing."

It's almost a pit stop at this time, who will call him?

But this phone call had a huge impact on Tan Songxue's life. He never expected Zeng Yunqing to call him and tell him——

"Qin Songxue, your "Luo Shen Fu" won the first prize this time."

Tan Songxue stared at the phone and couldn't hold it steady, and it fell to the ground in a free fall. Chen Qiye caught it quickly and handed it to Tan Songxue: "Hey, be careful, don't be frizzy, Your phone is brand new."

Tan Songxue came back to her senses, her heartbeat was so fast that it seemed to jump out of her throat, and she hurriedly said, "Master, can you say it again?"

Tan Songxue couldn't believe that his blood-soaked work won the highest peak in the national exhibition, but the reason for his creation...

Is this a blessing in disguise?

Tan Songxue suddenly felt a little ironic. Every time he won an award, he had a great connection with Chen Kezhi. Whether he was happy or sad, Chen Kezhi was in it all.The Book of Songs, the Classic of Chinese Characters, and the Fu of Luoshen...each of them contains all his emotions.

The "Ode to the Goddess Luo" he wrote in his final desperation was greatly shocked by Tan's father after reading it. The lines between the lines were filled with grief to the extreme, and his brushstrokes were sublimated under such emotions.His writing doesn't have too many skills, but he can't forget it after reading it. Those words are deeply engraved in his mind, making people resonate with the author over and over again.

After putting down the phone for a long time, Tan Songxue was still flustered, unable to believe it was true.

"Don't be in a daze, take your balls and leave." Chen Qiye kicked him, and Tan Songxue followed him mechanically, got in the car, and called Qin's father and mother respectively.

Qin's mother was still very calm, saying that she knew her son would succeed one day, and that hard work would eventually pay off.

Father Qin said congratulations, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. With such a price in exchange for the first prize, he would rather his son be happy forever, even if there will be no works shortlisted for the National Exhibition in the future.

"Dad, I'm going to N city at three o'clock this afternoon. You don't need to pick me up. I still have something to do...Well, I've adjusted it and I'm fine. Dad, don't worry about me. I haven't been with you all the time. Are you on the phone, you don’t know how I am? I have to go into the station, hang up first.”

After arriving in City N, Qin Songxue and Chen Qiye came out from the platform, and a man who was very conspicuous in the crowd was standing quietly at the exit, Chen Qiye pointed and said that it was his man.

Qin Songxue squinted her eyes to focus, and at the same time followed behind Chen Qiye.

"Old Meng!" Chen Qiye shouted, and the man never took his eyes off him from the beginning.After Qin Songxue approached, he could see clearly that this person was about the same height as Chen Kezhi, half a head taller than Chen Qiye, and he looked very handsome in his thirties, while Chen Qiye was much inferior to him .

As soon as the two met, they kissed in public, regardless of the eyes of others and the whistle sounded.Tan Songxue was so frightened that his mouth almost closed, he quickly took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, pretending that he didn't know Chen Qiye.

Chen Qiye and his man just had a symbolic intimacy, and then walked towards the parking lot.

"You came here by car?"

"No, I took a taxi." The man's voice was a little low, but it sounded very gentle, "Xiaoqi, give it to me."

Chen Qiye pointed to Tan Songxue's backpack along the way: "His is relatively heavy, and there are quite a lot of things in it. I only have two clothes."

The man was kind and generous, and stretched out his hand to Tan Songxue.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself." If the other party was Chen Kezhi, maybe Tan Songxue would be willing, but he was still a little uncomfortable with strangers.

Chen Qiye took the co-pilot seat, and the man and Qin Songxue sat in the back seat.

"Hi, my name is Meng Honglie." The man stretched out his right hand.

Tan Songxue also reached out and shook his hand: "Tan Songxue."

"I'll take you to meet Jiang Shan this afternoon. She has something to tell you."

Qin Songxue: "Jiang Shan?"

Meng Honglie said: "Chen Kezhi was originally going to marry someone."

Tan Songxue glanced out the car window and said with a smile, "Why should I see her? What can I say to her?"

Meng Honglie: "Let's talk when we meet...Xiao Qi, are you hungry?"

Chen Qiye: "It's a little bit, why don't you go to eat first. Tan Qiuqiu, I'll accompany you after dinner, don't worry."

Qin Songxue wasn't sure if he would lose control of his emotions after seeing Jiang Shan, but he couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree first.

Tan Songxue ate this meal absent-mindedly. Chen Qiye and Meng Honglie never mentioned anything related to Chen Kezhi. Even if Tan Songxue appeared to be indifferent to Chen Kezhi on the surface, he still couldn't erase Chen Kezhi's imprint deep down in his heart, let alone when he came back this time. Just to solve this matter.

The meeting place was chosen at another hotel not far from them. Meng Honglie went to book a private room first, and Jiang Shan was already waiting inside when the three of them arrived.

In order for the two of them to talk without any scruples, Chen Qiye and Meng Honglie greeted each other and left.

"It's troublesome for them, and they have to get a marriage certificate. How good it is for the two of us." Before finishing chewing gum, Chen Qiye opened the last one and gave half to Meng Honglie.

"Who says we're not married yet?" Meng Honglie took it, and immediately put Chen Qiye in his arms, put his nose between his neck and took a deep breath, "Smoking behind my back again?"

"I only smoked one pack in the past two months, hey, can you just let me go this time..." Chen Qiye pushed his head away.

"One pack?" Meng Honglie asked with squinted eyes suspiciously, "Less talk about one pack and I will fuck you one more time tonight."

Chen Qiye licked his upper lip, feeling a little uncomfortable, hesitating, "Two packs... no, three packs..."

Meng Honglie raised his eyebrows.

Chen Qiye smashed the can: "Four packs, four packs! I really only smoked four packs!"

Meng Honglie: "Four times."

Chen Qiye: "..."

Chen Qiye: "Lao Meng, how about a bet? Guess when Chen Kezhi and Qin Songxue will get together again?"

"One month?" Meng Honglie asked.

"It can't be so long, I guess at most 20 days, the two of them will completely solve the problem." Chen Qiye is quite sure, "We two have made it through such a difficult time at the beginning, what are they, right?"

Jiang Shan looks like a very ordinary woman. Qin Songxue thought that he would lose control of his anger when he saw her, but when it came time to face her, he found that he lost all temper.

"Hello." Tan Songxue greeted first, and sat opposite Jiang Shan.

"Hello, Mr. Qin." Jiang Shan looked a little nervous and spoke in a low voice.

Tan Songxue: "Is there anything you can do with me? Are you and Chen Kezhi going to get your certificate soon?"

Jiang Shan looked very embarrassed: "Mr. Tan, I had no relationship with Mr. Chen before. He made it clear about your relationship with him from the first time he met me. It's just a deal with him..."

Qin Songxue: "Oh."

Jiang Shan was a little embarrassed by Tan Songxue's non-salty tone, but she still bit the bullet and continued: "Mr. , so it was delayed until today. Now my deal with Mr. Chen is over, I will not marry him, and I will leave tomorrow. I am very sorry if I have caused you any harm before."

Tan Songxue suddenly felt a little funny, stared at the brown tea on the table, and asked, "So?"

Jiang Shan took out a medical record from the bag behind her, and pushed it to Tan Songxue: "Mr. Tan, if you don't believe me, please read my medical record. I am not a threat to you. Chen and I Sir, it's just a deal, I have a boyfriend, and I'm in a good relationship, but..." Jiang Shan didn't finish her sentence, as if she had something to hide.

Qin Songxue opened the medical record, but the contents inside surprised him.

Congenitally without uterus, without vagina.

146

"You, you..." Tan Songxue was speechless for a while, such a disability was extremely cruel for a woman, and it could even be said that she was deprived of her life's happiness.He thought that the woman Chen Kezhi was looking for was just a physical marriage with him, but he didn't expect that Chen Kezhi had already cut off all possible threatening factors.

"Mr. Qin, I was very willing to cooperate with Mr. Chen. My boyfriend and I also have a lot of bad debts. Their family business is relatively large, and you have read my medical records. It is difficult for me to enter their house with a disability like me. , so I need someone to help me... But it is no longer necessary now, Mr. Chen has canceled the deal with me, I have to find another person. I want to ask you to come out this time, I want to make it clear to you, Chen Mister didn't do anything cheating. I'm not interceding with Mr. Chen, but I don't want you two to have a bigger misunderstanding because of me..."

Tan Songxue interrupted her: "Miss Jiang, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. But the relationship is our own business, as for how to do it... I'll make up my own mind."

What Jiang Shan said was just to the point, and she didn't bring up this topic again after that.

For some reason, even though she hadn't seen Chen Kezhi in person, Tan Songxue was in a slightly better mood.

In the evening, Chen Qiye asked Qin Songxue to go to Chen Ke's house.

"Go up, he is waiting for you at home. Lao Meng and I will leave first, I wish you good luck." Chen Qiye and Qin Songxue hugged, "I have already saved my mobile phone number in your phone book, if If the bastard surnamed Chen bullies you again, you tell me that I will deal with him without paying any money."

Qin Songxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, definitely... Are you leaving now?"

Chen Qiye's expression was very meaningful: "No, the plane tomorrow afternoon, I haven't seen my man for such a long time, tonight we have to talk about important national affairs."

Tan Songxue: "Then you guys have a good talk, I'll go up first, thank you during this time, bye."

Chen Qiye: "Bye bye, kid Qin Qiuqiu!"

Qin Songxue smiled and shook her head.

Watching Tan Songxue walk into the community, Meng Honglie said to Chen Qiye, "Xiaoqi."

"What are you doing?" Seeing the teasing expression on Meng Honglie's face, Chen Qiye realized after a few seconds: "Yeah, my surname is also Chen...fuck, it seemed like I was scolding myself just now."

Meng Honglie smiled and wrapped him in his arms, and kissed his forehead.

Qin Songxue's footsteps were very light, the voice-activated lights were not turned on, the corridor was pitch black, and there was no moonlight at night. He was walking slowly based on his memory, walking through the familiar steps.

Chen Kezhi's house was on the top floor, and Tan Songxue walked up slowly carrying a plastic water tank. Just a few minutes seemed very long, and he would have to face the final judgment after a while.

He hoped that Chen Kezhi would do something worthy of his forgiveness, instead of simply saying sorry.

Tan Songxue's mood is more tense than he was in August. At that time, he had no scruples and just wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction and grievances without thinking about any consequences, but now he can't do it.

If Chen Kezhi disappoints him again, he may collapse completely and never be able to cheer up again.

That man, no matter what he did, was the only love in his life, and that couldn't be changed.

So he hoped that Chen Kezhi could give him an explanation.

Without expectations, there will be no more disappointments, and he is afraid that what will meet him will be a bigger blow.

After walking more than 100 steps, Qin Songxue walked to the door of Chen Kezhi's house, and was about to knock on the door, but found the door opened.

Tan Songxue's hand paused in the air, waiting for Chen Kezhi's face to appear in front of him.

They haven't seen each other for two months, and they are actually a little strange to each other.

The man in front of him had an unshaven beard, sunken eye sockets, obvious dark circles, and even fine lines at the corners of his eyes.The high spirits of the past are no longer there, and there are chapped blood scabs on his lips. His state is very much like the father Tan he saw the day after the college entrance examination.

Seeing Tan Songxue standing at the door, Chen Kezhi seemed to want to reach out to hug him, but he raised his arm and then put it down again, feeling a little at a loss.

"You..." Chen Kezhi lost his voice, coughed twice to clear his throat, "I feel that you are back, so I opened the door to have a look..."

Qin Songxue lowered his head and saw that Chen Kezhi was still barefoot, so he handed the plastic water tank to him: "Leave it alone."

Chen Kezhi was a little flattered, and after taking it, he stood up and gave way: "Aren't you going to come in?"

Qin Songxue nodded, took the backpack in his hand and put it in the porch.

The house was no different from when he left, it was as clean and tidy as ever, but there seemed to be a little more food, and Chen Kezhi looked like he hadn't been out for a long time.

"You didn't go to work?" Tan Songxue walked to the sofa and sat down, and said to Chen Kezhi.

Chen Kezhi took out the balls from the water tank and put them back into the original water tank, and replied, "I resigned."

Qin Songxue was a little surprised: "Resign?"

Chen Kezhi hummed: "I submitted the report at the end of August, and it was approved two weeks ago. Now I have no job."

Qin Songxue: "Then you..."

Chen Kezhi pulled a piece of paper and wiped his hands clean: "I will not go into politics in the future."

Before, Tan Songxue didn't quite understand what this choice meant to Chen Kezhi, but the conversation between Chen Qiye and him that night was still fresh in his memory. The things Chen Kezhi had to bear were much heavier than him.No longer in politics, so Chen Kezhi's painstakingly built contacts will be in vain. His future retreat has been completely cut off, and the responsibilities he has to bear have been completely let go of him.

With Chen Kezhi's move, he has placed all his bets on himself.

Tan Songxue understands how much determination it takes. From Chen Kezhi's point of view, maybe he will make the same choice as before.

But feelings exist subjectively and cannot be considered rationally in this way, so he still has no way to forgive Chen Kezhi.

Before Qin Songxue could speak, Chen Kezhi interrupted: "I'm sorry."

Chen Kezhi apologized first, but Tan Songxue couldn't easily say that it's okay.

"I watched "The Fu of Luoshen"... I'm sorry..." Chen Kezhi kept apologizing, "I was very sad after you left. This is the biggest mistake I have ever done in my life. I thought I could handle work and relationships well... ...In my heart, you will always be the important one."

Tan Songxue asked: "Really, then why do you want to get married?"

"I didn't want to hide it from you. I haven't settled with Jiang Shan at that time. I think I will tell you after everything is settled. It is impossible for Jiang Shan and I to have children. You should already know that she is physically disabled. , can't have children... I don't want anyone to destroy the relationship between the two of us, but it's me who is wrong, and the person who destroys the relationship is me."

"Qiaoqiu, I don't know how to say an apology..."

Chen Kezhi, who has always been eloquent, showed his timidity at this time. Even though there were thousands of reasons, he was still too unreasonable in front of Tan Songxue. He, the last person who was going to marry without saying a word was also him.

He owed Tan Songxue his whole life.

"Then needless to say, you've already said you're sorry." Tan Songxue lowered her head and fiddled with her thumb.

"Words must be done." Chen Kezhi laughed at himself, "I will make up for my mistakes in the days to come, can you give me this chance?"

Qin Songxue: "What are you going to do?"

Chen Kezhi: "If I do it all, can you forgive me?"

Qin Songxue: "Tell me first, what are you going to do?"

Chen Kezhi turned around and went into the room, and when he came out, he held a small delicate box in his hand.

Qin Songxue had a vague premonition of what was going to happen.

Chen Kezhi walked up to him, and slowly said: "I still remember when we were two children, I told you that I would marry you when I grew up, and now, I propose to you..." Chen Kezhi knelt down on one knee, and the box It was slowly opened, and a simple and elegant men's ring stood inside, "Qin Songxue, no matter what we face in the future, I will help you bear it. No matter how difficult it is, I will persevere. Give my best Giving you everything I want is my greatest happiness... I want to get married, Tan Songxue."

"so……"

Time seemed to go back to that summer day more than 20 years ago. Two children were squeezed together on the same bed. The older one said, we two have been engaged since we were young, so I will marry you when I grow up.The younger one couldn't believe it, but still nodded and said I'll wait for you.At this moment, the chubby bun face overlapped with the mature man's face in front of them, and they said at the same time——

"will you marry me?"
