lark

The rain outside the car had been raining for a long time and finally stopped gradually, turning back into fine rain like hair again.

The people in the car were also silent for a long time. One was finally disheartened after a long unrequited love, and the other made up his mind to let go after recognizing his deepening feelings.

When the hour hand moves toward 12 o'clock, a new day begins, and the past will finally stay in the past.The movie screen not far away was lit up again, as if it was about to start broadcasting the zero point scene.The light reflected from the screen hit Lin Nan's face, making him look more like a thin paper, and a slight gust of cold wind was enough to make him crumble.

Qi Yubai remained silent, as if waiting for Lin Nan to speak.Lin Nan was naturally savvy, and after being silent for a while, he asked softly, "Since this is the case, should I leave now?"

Since it was my own wishful thinking from the beginning to the end, there is no need to humiliate myself.He intends to return to the house he rented now.No matter what, there is always a place to live.

Life is a reality, it’s not up to you to mess around with, and even if you feel like your guts are pulling together and something as simple as breathing becomes difficult, you still have to find a place to sleep and wake up to work and earn money.

As a person who was abandoned halfway, staying in this car would only add embarrassment, not to mention that every time he looked at the roof of the car, he felt that his mind was torn apart.He suddenly stretched out his hand to push the door, Qi Yubai had already walked out before he could lock the car door.

"Lin Nan—"

Qi Yubai called him from the car.

Lin Nan didn't look back.At first, he moved towards the exit step by step, then he turned into a quick step, and then he ran straight away. The rain on the ground was splashed more than a foot high by his shoes, and stained his socks and trouser legs.There were countless things smoldering in his heart that he couldn't tell whether it was unwillingness or sadness, invisible but heavy on his muscles and bones, and he had to run wildly to vent a little bit.

Even though the rain above his head was not heavy, there were still drops of water on his eyelashes, and the biting cold wind with water vapor blew across his face, but he didn't feel any pain anymore.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" The little girl at the cash register suddenly saw a man rushing out from the entrance and was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair. Then another tall man rushed forward like crazy, and looked at the man who just drove in a luxury car, and muttered: "Tonight is really weird..."

"Lin Nan—!" Qi Yubai followed up and called him again, grabbing his arm within a few steps.

"Why are you running?! You can't get a taxi here!"

Lin Nan was almost staggered by his strong pull. Looking back, he couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain on his face. His hair was stuck to his forehead, which was still a mess. He couldn't even see the appearance of a popular actor.

This feeling was exhausting and hurt him in a mess, just like this face now.

Maybe it was too cold, and he didn't wear a coat. He only had a not-so-thick sweater on his body, and it was mostly wet by the rain. being pulled.

"I think... I think you don't want to see me, so I'll leave quickly... lest... lest..."

He trembled with wet eyelashes and said halfway, and he couldn't finish the rest of the sentence.

Qi Yubai let go of his arm, propped up a black umbrella that he took out from somewhere, and hit the two of them on the head. The eager expression on his face flashed, and he quickly recovered his calm.

"If you are in any danger, I can't get rid of it. Don't make trouble for each other."

This kind of remark is nothing compared to the previous decision.Lin Nan opened his purple lips slightly as if he didn't hear, hid under the umbrella and looked down at the stagnant water at his feet, suddenly he was a little dazed.

It turned out that there were reflections of the two figures on the water.Qi Yubai, who had deliberately kept a little distance from him, now looked from the reflection as if he was hugging him, his body was tightly attached, and there was no barrier at all.He raised his arm in the air, and hugged the person in front of him, but luckily he was not noticed.

"Go back to the car." Qi Yubai held an umbrella, seemingly not paying attention to his every move, and his tone could not be refuted.

"I don't want to go back." Lin Nan gritted his teeth a little harder, rejecting his request for the first time.

"What do you want?"

Lin Nan looked up at him.In the past, I liked to look at his face the most, with three-dimensional features and few expressions, but occasionally I would feel helpless and indulgent when facing myself.It's different now, as soon as Lin Nan sees this face, he feels disgust and indifference engraved on it, and it's only for himself.

"I want to go by myself." Lin Nan said.

"I said you can't get a taxi here, don't you understand?"

Compared with Dong Yu's tone, Lin Nan couldn't help but sway.Qi Yubai glanced at him, pulled his arm involuntarily and quickly pulled him towards the car, covered him with an umbrella under the gaze of the little girl at the entrance, and shoved him rudely. Back in the car.

"Sit down!" Qi Yubai seemed very angry, and pressed a few times on the console as if venting, and the sound of the air conditioner blowing warm air rang out.

"Fasten your seat belt, hurry up."

Hearing this, Lin Nan mechanically raised his hand to buckle the seat belt, and then wiped the water on his forehead and eyelashes with his sleeve, so as not to look too downcast.

"Then trouble Mr. Qi to take me back to my home."

It was an untimely illusion that he regarded Bo Hai as a family in the past, but of course he won't and dare not now.

Qi Yubai paused when he heard his words, started the car after two seconds, drove towards the city at the fastest speed, and drove straight back to Bohai.

The car parked in the parking space, but Lin Nan refused to get out of the car.

"I'm talking about my own home. If Boss Qi finds it inconvenient, I'll take a taxi back."

"Don't you need to pack your things?" Qi Yubai asked coldly.

He was right.He should have cleaned up all the mess he had left in the apartment.In the kitchen, study room, and living room, there are unused items that I wish to add to this "home" everywhere.And the pot of lucky bamboo on the balcony, how could he take a fancy to such an ordinary and vulgar thing, he should have thought of it earlier.

Throw it all away, Qi Yubai won't be reluctant, and he shouldn't be reluctant anymore.

Lin Nan nodded, unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car and followed Qi Yubai up the stairs, thinking that this was the last time he would step into the Bohai apartment.

The elevators in the apartment are always clean and dust-free, and the obsidian tiles in the stairwell have also been polished by the cleaners.Even if it was one ladder and one household, Qi Yubai always asked him to close the door instead of putting a shoe rack at the door like other people did.

He remembered when he came here for the first time, Mo walked to the door alone with the code on his back, and the uneasiness in his heart didn't get better until he saw the slippers Qi Yubai had prepared for him.At that time, Qi Yubai fell asleep alone in the room, and when he was woken up, he didn't get angry, and only dragged himself to sleep with him.

Lin Nan didn't tell Qi Yubai that it was always difficult to fall asleep when he was in his arms, his heart was beating wildly like disobedient, but his body needed to keep stiff, for fear that if he was not careful, Qi Yubai would fall asleep. Uncomfortable to hold.It took many times to get better, and Lin Nan almost fell asleep as soon as he pressed against the warm chest. The sense of security flowed in from the place where the two skins touched, and the blood flowed into the heart, and the effect was immediate.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan regretted it before his legs entered the door.

He dared not go in, afraid that he would not want to leave.Everything in the room was branded by the person in front of him. It couldn't be washed off with water or wiped off with a cloth, burning his fragile nerves like fire.

Seeing that he was not moving, Qi Yubai stretched out his hand and dragged him into the room. He was no longer a gentleman like before.

"You sleep here tonight, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Qi Yubai turned around and looked at Lin Nan who was standing at the door, and didn't turn on the light immediately.

Lin Nan thought, should he be grateful for Qi Yubai's kindness?One night was spared and he was not told to go away immediately.

The wet clothes on his body were uncomfortable against the skin, and his nose had been stagnant since some time, probably because he caught a cold in the rain.

"Thank you Mr. Qi." Lin Nan said with lowered eyes, "I'll sleep on the sofa."

His voice sounded a little weird, too nasal.

"Go to bed and take a shower." Qi Yubai's tone was very stiff, and his expression could not be seen clearly in the dark.Not long after he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the study room, even the door was closed tightly, as if Lin Nan was upset if he looked at it for a second longer.

Lin Nan stood there for a while, looking at the door of the study room with a pair of eyes, and listening to the movement in this room—in fact, there was no movement at all, and the palm of his hand was pierced by the hard nails. Slowly let go, dragged his heavy body to the entrance and turned on all the lights in the living room, then took the set of pajamas and towels he brought from home and went into the bathroom.

He didn't plan to touch the things Qi Yubai bought for him again.

After taking a shower and coming out, the light leaked from the door of the study, maybe Qi Yubai was working, Lin Nan was more willing to think so.

He originally planned to take stock and plan the packing tonight, and move out as soon as possible tomorrow.I also didn't want to alarm my manager and He Shan, lest others see my distraught appearance.

But when he was in the bathroom just now, he had a terrible headache, and the inside was as chaotic as if it had been poured with rainwater. Occasionally, there would be a sharp buzzing sound from the machine, forcing him to stop what he was doing and lean on the wall to stay still for a while before he could feel better.

He knew that he must be suffering from frostbite.It was too hot and cold outside, and I was drenched in the rain again, and the clothes wrapped around my body had not been changed for such a long time, so it was impossible not to have a severe fever.

So the finishing arrangement can only be postponed, and Qi Yubai can't be disturbed, after all, there is a one in ten thousand possibility that he is really working, not annoying himself.Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, no later than ten o'clock at the latest, I will definitely be able to tidy up all my things and erase all traces of my life in Bohai during this period.

It's just that everything in the room is easy to erase, so what about the things in your heart?

Lin Nan dare not think about this question now.From the first day I met him, I fell in love with him. It took me a year and a half to adore him and yearn for him. I thought I would continue, but today I was stopped.Lin Nan didn't know how long it would take him to forget him and stay away from him.

Maybe it will take longer than in the past, twice, twice, or longer.

Later, he lightly turned off the light in the outside room, and returned to the bedroom relying on the faint light of the mobile phone. When he took the first breath of air in the room, he was attacked by soreness.

Every corner and every waft of air here is filled with Qi Yubai's scent, which is strong and real, yet light and ethereal, taking root in Lin Nan's nose and sprouting in his heart.

Lin Nan's legs were sore and his limbs were limp. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer. He took two steps forward and threw himself on the familiar bed sheet, crying silently.The tears just flowed out like a lake with an open gate, regardless of the life and death of these eyes.But he became stubborn and refused to make any noise. He clenched the bed sheet beside him with both hands, his knuckles turned white, but he still refused to make a sound. Finally, he simply bit the pillowcase between his teeth, and his whole body Trembling, he forced himself not to reveal a single syllable as if he were ruthless with himself.

The sound of the rain outside the window became lower and lower, and finally at three o'clock in the morning, it could not be heard clearly. It must have stopped raining.

Lin Nan's almost self-abuse behavior gradually stopped at this moment. His hot forehead was pressed against the wet pillow, his red and plump lips were slightly parted at this moment, and the two lobes of his lungs were unconsciously replaced Panting, it was almost difficult and finally fell asleep.

He didn't even have the energy to dream that night, and even if he did, it must have been a nightmare.

The drowsy head and burning throat are not good even when he is asleep. He seems to wake up from coughing twice, but his body has no consciousness, and he can't hear the surrounding sounds at all.

When he woke up the next morning, Lin Nan was still lying on the bed in the same posture as yesterday, but he seemed to instinctively pulled the quilt again.One end covered the neck, and the other end hung on the floor, just covering the whole body.

There was no sound in the apartment, nor was there a sound outside the window.When the ground is covered with water and the temperature is low in the morning, no one wants to go out.Lin Nan's eyes were swollen like fish bubbles, and he found it difficult to open them, and his limbs were so limp that he couldn't exert any strength. It took him a while before he regained consciousness.

I slept on the bed all night, what about Qi Yubai?

It was the first thing that came to his mind.He forced his sick body to get up from the bed, and glanced out inadvertently when he passed by the window while stepping on his slippers.The garden of the community that had been washed by the rain was really empty, and nearly half of the rotten leaves were scattered on the ground, and it seemed that someone had stepped on it.

"Boss Qi." Standing at the door of the room, Lin Nan shouted in a hoarse voice. As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that his throat was already swollen.

Now this house is no longer where Lin Nan should stay, so he didn't wander around.

"Boss Qi—" He called again softly, finally confirming that Qi Yubai had left here at some point.

Maybe he went to sleep in the hotel, maybe he was accompanied by someone else.

This matter has nothing to do with Lin Nan since last night, and he has no right to ask.

The mobile phone was lying quietly on the table in the bedroom, and it had long been out of power.Lin Nan took out the charger from the things he brought, and waited for a few seconds after plugging it in before it turned on smoothly.

After a few seconds of reaction, a few not-so-new messages popped up on the screen one after another.Some are irrelevant and some are work-related.

There is only one that makes Lin Nan's eyes stop.

It was Qi Yubai who sent it at a quarter past five in the morning: "The apartment has already belonged to your name, and my things are at your disposal."

He doesn't want the person he slept in, and he doesn't want the house he slept in.
