Summer Solstice Corning

Xu Kangning was on middle shift today, and he was so busy that he got off work. It was just the beginning of the lights. Xu Kangning took a deep breath of the cold autumn air, and felt much more refreshed after being bored all afternoon.

Today, as usual, he planned to walk home. Xu Kangning didn't walk very far, so he subconsciously glanced at the side of the road. As expected, Xia Qinghe saw him coming out, and walked straight over.

"Why are you here again?" Xu Kangning was a little helpless, and asked him softly, looking very tired.

Xia Qinghe shook the roasted sweet potato in his hand, and handed him one, "I just bought it, do you want to eat it?"

Xu Kangning smelled the familiar scent, hesitated for a while, but took it and held it in his hand, "Thank you."

Xia Qinghe, on the other hand, deliberately touched the back of Xu Kangning's hand, and when it was cold, he grabbed it and rubbed it, "Why are your hands so cold, are you not wearing a coat?"

After he said this, Xu Kangning realized it, "Oh, I... I forgot, I'll go back and get it."

"I'll go with you." Xia Qinghe followed behind him without waiting for him to refuse.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door, he saw a group of people coming out of it. Li Hongjie was the first to bump into Xia Qinghe's sight. He was still smiling and even nodded at Xia Qinghe.

Xu Kangning subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Xia Qinghe, but Li Hongjie walked over and reached out to Xia Qinghe, "President Xia, long time no see."

Xu Kangning leaned to the side, and couldn't help frowning.

Xia Qinghe stretched out his hand and shook it with a smile on his face, "It's a pleasure to meet you, why is Mr. Li coming to Nancheng when he has time?"

Li Hongjie smiled and said, "Let's talk about something. It's great that Nancheng is here. I also met an old friend today." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Kangning.

Xia Qinghe noticed his gaze and didn't look back.

Li Hongjie looked at the two people holding a sweet potato in their hands, and couldn't help laughing, "Is this Mr. Xia's friend?"

Xia Qinghe nodded, "Yes."

"Mr. Xia is very elegant, so don't bother me, let's have a meal together when I have time."

"Please."

Xia Qinghe watched a group of people leave in a hurry, and the smile on his face was completely retracted. He turned to look at Xu Kangning, "Let's go, I will accompany you to get things."

Xu Kangning looked at him, "Why are you talking to Li Hongjie..."

Xia Qinghe thought of the information Wang Lei gave him today, and answered irrelevantly, "I have only touched on some work matters."

Xu Kangning's eyes froze slightly, and countless thoughts surged through his mind.

"You wait for me here, I'll get things by myself." Xu Kangning said coldly, "Don't follow me."

The hurdle in my heart, the high wall.

Even if he relaxes his defense occasionally, but when those delicate emotions are stirred up again, the wall is built higher and higher, and his temper is inexplicable.

Xia Qinghe watched Xu Kangning walking into the lobby alone, and followed him resolutely regardless of his words "Don't follow me".

"Kang Ning, walk slowly." Xia Qinghe gave him a hand, staggered Xu Kang Ning who was in a hurry, and took several steps back.

Xu Kangning threw him away and shouted, "Don't touch me!"

Seeing that he was really angry, Xia Qinghe quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, I won't touch you, you go get it yourself, I... will wait for you at the door."

Sure enough, as long as Xu Kangning loses his temper, Boss Xia will remain cowardly.

Xia Qinghe knew why he was angry, Li Hongjie's appearance was like a pinch of small flames, and the past that had been suppressed and buried in Xu Kangning's heart was rekindled.

And he actually has some relationship with Li Hongjie, this is probably the most unacceptable thing for Xu Kangning.

While waiting for Xu Kangning's time, Xia Qinghe casually strolled around in the lobby. He never asked Xu Kangning why he worked here, as if all the cause and effect were because of him. Deeper and deeper.

When Xu Kangning finished taking his clothes and came out from the inside, there was another person beside him. The two were talking and laughing very closely. Xia Qinghe, who was standing behind the pillar, immediately straightened his paralyzed body, and walked over there .

Lin Song was still talking to Xu Kangning, and vaguely felt that there was a shadow blocking the way in front of him. He raised his head to see the tall man standing in front of him, and blinked his eyes in a daze.

Xu Kangning looked at Xia Qinghe who stood in front of him, and finally frowned.

Lin Song followed his eyes and looked at Xia Qinghe again. He felt that the eyes were strangely familiar, and his mind flashed, "Oh, this one is not yours..."

Xu Kangning stopped him, "Brother Song, this is my friend..."

"Kang Ning, I've finished taking the things." Xia Qinghe walked naturally to Xu Kangning and hugged his shoulders, led him to his direction, and smiled at Lin Song as if declaring his sovereignty, "This is Your colleague?"

Xu Kangning slightly tilted his shoulders, held down Xia Qinghe's hand with his left hand and pulled it down, and said to him with a fake smile, "If you do it again, I'll chop it up."

Lin Song noticed the turbulent undercurrent between them, looked at Xia Qinghe, and stretched out his hand to say hello, "Hi, I'm Lin Song."

Xia Qinghe held back, "Hello, Xia Qinghe."

"Well, I know you." As soon as Lin Song said, Xu Kangning gave him a wink and interrupted him first, "Hey Brother Song, didn't you say you were going to eat?"

Lin Song cleverly changed the subject, and then said, "Okay, I'll make it for you, or go out to eat?"

"I won't bother you to cook so late," Xu Kangning said, "I treat you to the old place."

Lin Song responded and rubbed his shoulders, "It's okay, I'm exhausted from busy work all day, and my back hurts."

Xu Kangning naturally put his hands on his shoulders, and pushed him to the door, "Then I'll treat you to a meal, and you don't have to wash the dishes. By the way, brother, what do you learn every time you go out to study?"

"What else can I learn? Isn't that what a chef learns is the little skill of turning spoons, haha."

"Then I really can't learn your 'little skill'. You see, I've been with you for so long, but I still only know how to cook noodles..."

"There is a fine line in one line, you boy just don't want to take that step..."

Xu Kangning didn't know whether it was on purpose or what, he and Lin Song were chatting one after another, completely ignoring Xia Qinghe behind him.Boss Xia followed behind with a head full of depression. He didn't know whether he should be struggling with why Lin Song said "I know you" so naturally, or whether he should be depressed about Xu Kangning's "I've been with you for so long". What is the relationship between these two people?

The place to eat is a small shop with a remote location, but the advantage is that it is clean. The barbecue stalls are outside, so there is no smoke and dust affecting the environment inside. When the air conditioner is turned on, the cold air that has been walking all the way is evaporated. Xia Qinghe feels that it is slowly starting from the feet warmed up.

"Young man, are you driving or not, should we have some wine?" Lin Song asked him.

Xia Qinghe was still immersed in his own world, when he called him that, his face reacted with a few layers of smiles, "Yes."

"It's so cold, why don't you drink some white wine, can you drink it?"

When Xia Qinghe heard this, his eyes rolled a few times, hehe, who do you underestimate? This is you, he straightened his sitting posture, and replied in a daze, "It's okay to drink anything!"

Xu Kangning was looking at the menu at the side, and glanced at him when he heard the words, I dare say you were not the one who was dying of stomach pain yesterday!

Xu Kangning wrote a few dishes in the notebook without asking Lin Song's opinion, and then handed the menu to Xia Qinghe, "You see what you want to eat, order it yourself."

Xia Qinghe pushed the menu towards Lin Song without even answering it, "I'll let this elder brother order first according to your taste."

Lin Song smiled, "It's okay, just order what Kang Ning ordered, we often come here to eat."

Xia Qinghe had a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, hehe twice, with a half smile, "Well, then I won't order, I also taste like Kang Ning."

Xu Kangning took the menu without saying a word, got up and handed it to the boss to place the order.

While waiting for the food, Xu Kangning and Lin Song were chatting, and Xia Qinghe was sitting on the side, looking at them with their arms crossed, feeling that they couldn't finish the conversation, and felt inexplicably depressed.

"What does Mr. Xia do?" Lin Song suddenly changed the subject, and Xia Qinghe was taken aback by his question. His gloomy expression was too late to stop, and he looked at Lin Song almost sadly.

Lin Song laughed twice, thinking that he asked something that shouldn't be asked, "If you don't want to say..."

"No, no," Xia Qinghe quickly corrected his attitude, and searched his brains for a reason, "I feel a little uncomfortable... I can't hear you clearly."

Xu Kangning, who hadn't looked at him all this time, finally looked up at him after hearing these words.Xia Qinghe's eyes drifted away, and he bumped into him in the air, and immediately came back to life.

"You have a stomachache again?" Xu Kangning asked him in a low voice awkwardly.

Xia Qinghe didn't speak, but hummed twice as an answer.

Xu Kangning cut it, and muttered, "If you have a bad stomach, don't try to force yourself to drink, this meal is not bad."

Xia Qinghe was still immersed in his sudden concern and happiness, but after thinking about it, he felt that this kind of care that was pretending to be pitiful was too selfish, so he couldn't help but replied, "No, I don't have a stomachache, don't worry. "

Xu Kangning cleared his throat and turned back, "Who the hell is worried about you?"

Lin Song tasted the twists and turns in the air, and tapped on the corner of Xia Qinghe's table, "Mr. Xia and Kang Ning, how long have you known each other?"

"It counts...it will take ten years," Xia Qinghe replied a few seconds late, but his expression was very soft. Lin Song found that as long as it was about Xu Kangning, his expression could always become extremely gentle.

Lin Song nodded, "Well, it's been a long time."

Xia Qinghe lowered his head and smiled wryly, "Yes, we have been separated for a long time."

Lin Song froze for a moment, then glanced at Xu Kangning.

Xu Kangning lowered his head and was looking at his mobile phone. Hearing this, his typing hands paused, and he let out an inaudible sigh.

"Boss, please serve the wine first," Lin Song urged again.

After a while, the boss brought up the food and wine together.Lin Song poured himself a glass and filled it up for both Xia Qinghe and Xu Kangning, "Come on, don't say anything, do it first."

After drinking a glass of wine, it seemed like it was on fire, burning along the esophagus all the way to the stomach, and the blood in the whole body was boiling hot.

"Although the place is small, everything here is very good. This wine is better than the red wine in our hotel," Lin Song smiled, putting down his glass very satisfied, and took a piece of meat to suppress the taste of the wine.

Xia Qinghe agreed, "It's really good wine."

It seemed that Xu Kangning was really hungry. He only drank a glass of wine, and spent the rest of the time eating seriously. He even asked the boss to add two more plates of fried rice, and he ate a large plate.

Xia Qinghe and Lin Song didn't know where the chatterbox opened up, chatting all over the world, Xu Kangning found that the familiarity of this person really didn't change at all, but it had a tendency to get worse.

"Brother Lin, you drink first, I'll go to the bathroom." Xia Qinghe is a tall man, and Xu Kangning had to give up his seat when he came out. Xia Qinghe grabbed his clothes and pulled him up, "Let's go, look You eat and drink a lot, let's go together."

Xu Kangning looked at him with a crazy expression, "Hey, did I say I'm going?"

"Oh, let's go," Xia Qinghe put Xu Kangning's shoulders on his shoulders, and his whole body weight was on him, "Help me, I seem to be a little drunk..."

"........."

Has the energy and energy you were talking about just now evaporated through your pores?

Xu Kangning rolled his eyes, and reluctantly helped him to the bathroom as his crutch. As soon as Xia Qinghe entered, he immediately took off his "drunk" disguise and pulled Xu Kangning into the cubicle.

"What are you doing!" Xu Kangning pushed him, Xia Qinghe pulled him, the space in a cubicle was only so big, the two of them pulled and pulled, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

"Okay, you want to talk to me, right? I have plenty of time to talk to you. If you have anything to say today, just say it. Let's make it clear." Xu Kangning leaned against the wall in despair, and spent the whole night awkwardly Outburst, looking at him with a serious expression.

Xia Qinghe blocked the door, and started to play a rogue with that bit of alcohol, "Kang Ning, can I ask you, that guy outside... who is he, have you been with him all these years?"

Xu Kangning... What kind of dry vinegar did Xia Qinghe eat?

"Cang Ning, tell me, I really want to know, if you don't tell me, I won't let you out..."

Xu Kangning felt that his ghostly appearance was really not just pretending, and the sober Xia Qinghe couldn't say such things to him.

Xu Kangning held him down and asked back, "What do you think?"

"I think... I think I'm unhappy," Xia Qinghe muttered, "No, I'm very unhappy. I'm jealous of him."

Xu Kangning couldn't help laughing and said, "When did your mind become so small?"

"I've always been small-minded." Xia Qinghe looked at Xu Kangning, suddenly feeling aggrieved, he hugged Xu Kangning and nestled against his neck, "Kangning, I'm small-minded, don't be angry with me, okay? "

Xu Kangning was hugged by him, his nose was full of strong alcohol smell, mixed with the faint smell of his perfume, and the unique smell of detergent in this bathroom, he felt a little dizzy.

"Kang Ning, I thought I had become very powerful, but when I met you, I felt that I was still useless." Xia Qinghe burrowed into his neck, rubbing Xu Kangning's skin with his lips as if there was nothing there, " I know that you are angry with me today, but you believe me, everything I do now is for you."

Xu Kangning didn't learn anything in these years, but he learned to be calm. He listened to Xia Qinghe's deep, almost whispering voice, and said in his ear, "Have you taken advantage of it enough?"

Xia Qinghe froze, raised her head, and looked down at him from a distance, her eyes blurred.Xu Kangning looked at him unscrupulously, "Xia Qinghe, after all these years, why are you still so clumsy?"

Xia Qinghe took a few steps back, Xu Kangning looked into his eyes, scratched his heart and said every word, "You said we have known each other for ten years, but I have been suffering for so many years because of that short year .What are you going to do this time? You didn’t tell me anything in the past. I tried my best not to let you join, and endured with the promise you gave me. Step by step, I was dragged into the abyss. Now, what do you want to do with your self-righteous 'for my own good'?"

After hearing these words, Xia Qinghe felt as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt, and his expression froze.

But Xu Kangning smiled, "I'm not angry with you, I'm just angry with myself. You are rich and powerful now, Li Hongjie should not be able to do anything to you. If he wants to attack, I will pick the weak persimmons." , you... oh, I'm just worrying."

"Are you worried about me?"

Xu Kangning turned his head away, "No, I just beg you, it's best not to bother me, and don't bring me unnecessary trouble. My life is not easy now, it's fine like this, and I don't want to I won't be entangled with you anymore, I don't want to see you. I don't care what mess you are planning now, it's best to stop here, I don't want to trust you again. "

Xia Qinghe felt the choking pain in his chest, as if his heart had stopped beating, and his hands began to feel numb. He looked at Xu Kangning, his eyes were red as if he was going to eat someone.

Xu Kangning ignored him and opened the door to go out. Xia Qinghe refused to give up and tugged at his sleeve to refuse to let him go.

"Corning..."

Xu Kangning shook off him, turned and left.

Lin Song drank a small bottle of wine by himself, and sat there looking at the leftovers and cold dishes. He felt more and more sober as he drank, and he would never get drunk. He suddenly thought of Lin Shu and missed him very much.

Ah Shu, it's winter again, when it snows your favorite day, can you come to my brother's dream?

"Brother Song, are you full?" Xu Kangning sat next to him and brought him back from his thoughts.

Lin Song touched his stomach, "It's not just full, it's full, where is Xia Qinghe?"

"Drunk, don't care about him," Xu Kangning said casually, "I'll take you back first, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"Then how did he go back?"

Xu Kangning helped him up, "Brother, don't worry about him, he is such an adult, he knows how to get back."

In the end, Xia Qinghe, who was so big, was crying like a two hundred and five in the restaurant's cubicle. The boss had no choice but to call Xu Kangning, but Xu Kangning didn't answer.

The boss had no choice but to hold Xia Qinghe's hand and try to unlock it finger by finger. He called Wang Lei who had the most contacts in the address book, and then carried him back.

Xia Qinghe, who had been arguing all night, as expected, his stomach began to hurt again. When he woke up in the morning and drank a bowl of clear porridge, he vomited all his internal organs and wanted to dislocate them.Wang Lei lamented that this person really looked like Daiyu, who didn't even go to work, and stayed at his home to take care of him.

"What the hell is going on with you, you vomit out after you eat something, the ingredients cost money," Wang Lei took a glass of water and handed it to him, cursing mercilessly.

Xia Qinghe felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and he was about to spit out bile. He took the water handed over by Wang Lei and rinsed his mouth, got up, washed his face, and fell down on the sofa in a dispirited state.

"What are you doing, making yourself into such a dead state?" Wang Lei went to the kitchen to get a cup of hot water and put it on the coffee table, and threw the blanket beside him on him.

Xia Qinghe wrapped herself in a blanket and hummed twice, "How is your investigation going?"

Wang Lei cut out, "Why are you in such a hurry, haven't I told you before?"

Xia Qinghe let out a long sigh, as if he lost half his life, "I don't want to procrastinate, the sooner this matter is resolved, the better."

"What the hell you said is simple," Wang Lei sat next to him with the coffee he made for himself and sipped, "The more I investigate this matter, the more I find it outrageous. life and death."

"Is there any new progress?"

"Li Hongjie gave the evidence of Kang Ning's wounding to the police. The police have been detaining Kang Ning for this reason. Later, they fished out a female body behind their community. The test results directly point to Kang Ning. Now there is evidence that the dead man It might not be Li Li, but it might be her twin sister, who just became the most powerful evidence for the conviction of this case, but this matter has dragged on for so long, and we need to find enough evidence..." Wang Lei paused , shook his head and said, "It's difficult, that old forensic doctor's testimony in court is just a reference, and now I don't know how Li Li's sister died, and what has it to do with Li Hongjie and the others."

Xia Qinghe leaned on the back of the sofa with his head held high, feeling stomach pain spreading all over his body, and he couldn't feel anything. After listening to the analysis, he didn't answer, but said, "Wang Lei, I have something, please give me your opinion."

"Say."

"You said we are investigating this matter, should I tell Kang Ning?" Xia Qinghe looked at Wang Lei with a pale face, his eyes glazed over.

Wang Lei panicked at the sight of him, rubbed his nose and said, "Whatever you want."

Xia Qinghe caught him off guard and gave him a pillow. Wang Lei was quick-eyed and quick-handed enough to raise the cup in his hand, "Hey, I don't care if you clean it up if you spill it."

"Who let you take care of it," Xia Qinghe snorted, "give me an opinion, should I tell him or not?"

Wang Lei walked over and gave Xia Qinghe a hard head bump, "Your IQ was flushed by the toilet water? No, you have no IQ either. You are not a child now, and neither is Kang Ning. Maybe what he cares about is not that you hide it from him. It's about his specific things, but whether you tell him about it or not. Do you understand?"

Xia Qinghe looked at Wang Lei like a fool with a dropped IQ, "Understood."

"Looking at your expression, I really doubt it." Wang Lei pushed his head, "If you detach yourself from your feelings for him, you will know what Kang Ning is thinking."
