until the last minute

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the guests entered the venue one after another. At 05:30, a friend sent a photo of the venue, and the guests had already taken their seats.

Zhou Yin put on the clown costume in the stairwell, put on a wig and mask, and carried a lighter in his pocket. He put the smoke cake on the tray and covered it with a western food cover.

At 45:[-], the hotel staff pushed the dining car and took the special elevator to deliver the dishes to the banquet hall.

At the same time, a clown in exaggerated clothes and a funny mask pushed the dining car towards the banquet hall. He rushed ahead of the hotel staff, pushed open the door, raised his index finger to the unknown crowd, and put it on his lips, making people laugh A clear voice came from under the mask: Surprise!

When the clown walked into the banquet hall, his lively and funny costume mask and cheerful figure attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the venue.The clown picked off the flowers on the pillars and gave them to the nearest lady, and took out the candy in his pocket to distribute to the children in the banquet hall.

The chirping of the child almost lifted the ceiling. After the clown finished distributing the candies, he pushed the dining car and continued on. He came to the main table, flicked his sleeves like a conjurer, and played with his fingers skillfully. Then a rose blossomed from his fingertips. Bloom, arouse a surprise.The clown bent down and gave the bright and dripping rose to the lady beside him.

Everyone was looking forward to the clown's next trick. Unexpectedly, the clown suddenly turned around and danced with his back to the main table. His fluffy tail flicked and flicked. His fat pants and clumsy movements amused many people. Laughing, except that the lady who received the roses always looked dignified.

The clown put the tray on the table, bowed smartly, and then walked out with the same brisk pace as when he came.

"Let's go now? Was it arranged by the hotel?"

"What's in the tray? Open it and have a look."

The lady who hadn't recovered from her senses took a step back hesitantly. The moment she took the rose, the clown said to her in a very low voice, "Stay back, don't approach the table."

She couldn't connect this sentence with the tray left by the clown on the table, so she watched other people lift the lid, no one could see what was on the tray, a cloud of white smoke suddenly rose, and the smoke became bigger and bigger. The thicker it got, the crowd scattered in panic, and at the same time as the screams sounded the sharp whistling sound of the smoke alarm.

The shower head on the ceiling immediately sprayed water, and everyone near the main table was soaked. In the huge banquet hall, only the main table was like a water curtain hole, and everyone else looked at each other in blank dismay.

After the security guard came over, the sprinkler head stopped spraying water, and no one could sit at the main table. The security guard found a blurred note on the tray on the table, with the words "safe and non-toxic" written on it.

The gift left by the clown is like a Pandora's box, a cloud of non-toxic and harmless white smoke easily fools everyone around.

Zhou Yin came out of the banquet hall and went straight to the stairwell, throwing the clown suit, mask, wig and lighter into the trash can in the corridor.What he left on the tray and gave to the main table just now were a few smoke cakes, which are often used in fire drills and filming. It is said that the smell is a bit pungent, but it is guaranteed to be safe and non-toxic. The smoking time is one to two minutes. It is estimated that the banquet hall is already in chaos. Into a pot of porridge.

He performed the prank only to vent his anger, and he found relief at the thought of his father making a fool of himself in front of his business associates, even if it ruined his mother's wedding reception.

Maybe his mother wouldn't understand him and would blame him, but he didn't care anymore, Zhou Yin raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, he did everything he could, this was his last protest, and he would never get involved again in.

Everyone should be responsible for their own choices, and if he can understand the truth, his mother will also understand.

Zhou Yin sat on the stairs for a long time, unable to gather strength to walk back.There were messy footsteps in the corridor outside the emergency door. Maybe it was the hotel staff rushing to clean up the mess in the banquet hall, or maybe the security guards were looking for him to play a prank.He realized that he had no urge to run away, and even had unrealistic expectations in his heart. He hoped that Li Qing could find him.

The voice-activated light in the corridor went out, he stood up, and went down the stairs leisurely.He had his cell phone in his trouser pocket, and realized he hadn't looked at it for a while, so he took it out, and saw Li Qing's missed call before unlocking it.He dialed the phone back and was hung up as soon as he got through.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, Zhou Yin poked his probe downstairs, a familiar figure suddenly bumped into his line of sight, Li Qing was climbing the stairs, surprise grabbed his heart for a moment, Zhou Yin quickly went downstairs He ran, and finally hugged Li Qing on the second floor.

Li Qing hugged him into his arms, and rushed towards him with an anxious voice, "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came here? You didn't answer the phone, do you know how worried I am about you?"

"I know, I'm sorry, there will be no next time." Zhou Yin touched Li Qing's head and face, and looked at the man in front of him who was angry and angry at him with joyful eyes. Li Qing touched his shoulders, arms and waist vigorously. Back, asked in a deep voice: "Is there any injury? What did you bring in?"

"You know?" Zhou Yin was extremely surprised.

"Our manager went to your parents' wedding banquet. He talked about what happened just now in the group. I guess you did it."

"So you came here?" Zhou Yin teased, "The family came to the hotel so quickly?"

"Don't interrupt, I'm interrogating you now." Li Qing kneaded the back of his neck, as if he couldn't get angry, and slapped his butt again, Zhou Yin pretended to be in pain and screamed, Li Qing glared at him , "I'm not trying hard, don't act like a baby."

Before Zhou Yin could speak, footsteps were heard upstairs, Li Qing held his hand, and the two walked down the stairs together.Going down to the first floor, rushing out of the hotel lobby, the sky darkened, and the two of them ran like madmen on the street, leaving the hotel, the crowd, the neon lights and the night behind.

After running for a long distance, he finally stopped, Zhou Yin supported his knees and gasped for breath, Li Qing stood still in front of him, behind Li Qing was a bright street lamp, a small but not weak light shone on Li Qing's face, those pair of eyes His eyes were as bright as a street lamp.

Zhou Yin looked up at the night sky, looking for a star to compare with, even though he knew that Li Qing would never lose in his heart.

He smiled at Li Qing, then threw himself on Li Qing, put his arms around his neck and kissed him fiercely.Regardless of the passers-by, or the wrong location, his love is boiling in his blood, surging between his lips and teeth, and he urgently needs to confirm that his lover is resonating at the same frequency as him through kissing.

Zhou Yin buried his head into Li Qing's shoulder when his lips parted, he didn't dare to raise his head, the roots of his ears were red and hot.Li Qing hugged him and smiled, hearty laughter penetrated into his ears, "Are you shy? Don't be afraid, I will accompany you, no one here knows us."

"Okay Xiaoyin, it's time to go back. I came to see you after I finished my work and didn't even eat dinner." Li Qing pinched his ear and whispered, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go back after eating outside. Home to do?"

Zhou Yin said in a muffled voice: "Go back and eat, I will cook."

Back home, Zhou Yin volunteered to go into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Li Qing was worried and watched from the side. When Zhou Yin almost cut his hand again, he couldn't bear to drive him out.

Zhou introduced the bathroom to take a bath, and when the water was turned on, he clicked on a few voice messages from his friend. The friend watched the excitement and told him the accident at the wedding banquet without hesitation. The last voice was his friend's laughter, which lasted for ten seconds.After listening to the black lines all over his head, Zhou Yin replied four words, I did it.

The friend's call came right away, and Zhou Yin answered it. The friend changed his heartless voice and asked coldly: "What's going on? Be lenient when confessing and be strict when resisting."

"You don't recognize me?"

"Who can recognize you dressed like this? You didn't go to our table, did your mother recognize you?"

Zhou Yin said: "I specifically told her to avoid it, she should be able to tell it was me."

"You're old enough to play, your father's face is black, he's drowned, I'm dying laughing."

"I didn't intend to make a fuss, but I saw his lover a few years ago, you know, I had someone check him before." Zhou Yin squatted down, put his hand into the bathtub to test the water temperature, "I think Teach him a lesson, my mother is very pitiful, and those women who were cheated by him are also very pitiful, why no one exposes his true colors?"

"Do you think your mother doesn't know about these things?"

Zhou Yin was silent.

"Your mother is not in a good mood tonight, don't worry, my mother has gone to comfort her," the friend softened his tone, "But your father is a genius, after changing his clothes, he came out as if nothing happened."

"Xiaoyin," Li Qing called him from outside the bathroom, "Don't talk on the phone in the shower, be careful not to catch a cold."

Zhou Yin responded, chatted with his friend for a few words and hung up the phone.He sat in the bathtub to take a bath, clicked into Moments to swipe, and his friend's mother shared the live link of the photos of the wedding banquet, and as expected, there were no photos of the opening of the wedding banquet when he clicked in.

He scrolled down, and at the bottom was the photo of the site arrangement, and also took a photo of the guest list at the check-in place. He opened the photo, briefly scanned the names of the people on it, closed the photo link after a few seconds, and exited WeChat.

During dinner, Zhou Yin borrowed Li Qing's mobile phone on the grounds that the mobile phone was charging, and he used Li Qing's WeChat account to chat with his friends one after another.

Li Qing went to serve the meal, he exited the chat box with his friend, and quickly flipped through other chat records on the WeChat interface.The work group was still working together an hour ago. A colleague asked Li Qing if he had asked for leave two hours ago. Li Qing said that the manager who went to the banquet posted a Moments an hour ago, a photo of the event site and a group photo of the staff , there is no Li Qing in the group photo.

Zhou Yin switched back to chatting with his friend, Li Qing put away his phone and stared at him with a half smile, "Why are you talking so much, can't you tell me?"

"How long are you going to be jealous of him?" Zhou Yin asked helplessly, and Li Qing answered him solemnly: "It will be until you are seventy or eighty."

"Stop making trouble, the seventies and eighties are half buried in the ground." Zhou Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he set aside half a bowl of rice for Li Qing, suddenly thought of something, and sighed for no reason, "I can't imagine how I look when I'm old."

Li Qing asked: "Are you afraid of getting old?"

Zhou Yin nodded, "I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of, I will take care of you when you get old."

"I'm old and you're old too, how do you take care of me?"

"So you should eat more now." Li Qing gave him another spoonful of rice, wiped off the grains of rice from his mouth, and twisted his chin, "I'm old and you're old too, don't be afraid. "

Zhou Yin felt sore, he quickly lowered his head, not to let Li Qing notice that his eyes were red.He didn't want to care about what Li Qing kept from him, what lies he told him. Li Qing was always nervous that he cared about him, so he built an airtight wall for him.
