lark

After Lin Nan and Qi Jiawen left, they took a taxi, and Qi Jiawen also temporarily lent Lin Nan the mask on his outside.

In the taxi, the two were a little embarrassed.

Qi Jiawen took a peek at Lin Nan, wondering if he was angry, and touched his nose dejectedly.He felt that he might have been a little arrogant just now, but now that he thinks about it, he is a little scared, if that Qi Hanbai tricks him secretly, he will have to be scolded bloody by the manager again.But then again, he also wanted to stand up for Lin Nan.After all, although he didn't say it clearly, He Shan's teeth itch with hatred when he mentioned this scumbag. It wouldn't be a good thing to think about it, and he didn't run away after bullying Lin Nan.

Thinking about it this way, there's nothing wrong with being polite to scumbags.

But... Qi Baibai's assistant just now seemed to be more arrogant than him, and he was so embarrassing that he had perfected his skills with a small catch.

After being alone for a while, he asked Lin Nan: "Where are you going now, do you want to have dinner? It's a little early...or else you can find a place to drink anyway..."

Lin Nan was sitting next to him, thinking about other things.

Qi Yubai said that there was something she wanted to tell him.What will happen, good or bad.

Although Lin Nan refused to listen out of his instinct to protect himself, he still couldn't help being curious.What else is there to say between them?The night before we separated, we had already talked about that part.

Qi Yubai didn't like him, hated him, even hated him, and found it unbearable to see him for a second.She pretended to be kind for a while, but finally couldn't pretend anymore, and chose to have a showdown with him.

The pain of being hated by someone you love deeply cannot be eliminated in two months.

The driver didn't recognize the two of them, and had been listening to a lot of 60-second voices in the car friend group while driving.Qi Jiawen's ability to deal with embarrassment is first-rate, and he is already planning to pick a table in several hidden restaurants that he often goes to.

After he reported two options, Lin Nan finally refused.

"Jiawen, I want to go home straight away, I haven't packed my things yet."

"Oh, huh?"

Qi Jiawen turned his head: "Pack up? Why pack up?"

"I'm moving tomorrow and I need to pack some things."

Qi Jiawen suddenly felt that the opportunity had come: "Tomorrow? I'll help you move it! I'll drive a pickup over there!"

Lin Nan couldn't help but smile: "Where did you get the pickup?"

"My dad's!"

"Thank you." Lin Nan looked at him, "But no need, I can handle it myself, and He Shan will come to help."

-

Back at the rental house, Qin Peng hasn't come back yet.Fortunately, Lin Nan was able to avoid conflicts without having to meet face-to-face.

He has complicated feelings for this younger brother. On the one hand, blood is thicker than water, and on the other hand, he is really disgusted.The scarf was just an opportunity, an outbreak of grievances after many years. From now on, he should not give anything foolishly.

There are not many things worth taking away in the house, except for some clothes, there are only a few kitchen utensils that need to be packed.You have to live seriously in another place. Lin Nan still wants to cook by himself, even if he is the only one to eat.

Pack clothes separately in two large bags, and use a cardboard box to hold pots and pans. This place where he has lived for several years is almost ready to leave.Lin Nan piled everything in the corner of the living room against the wall, trying not to affect Qin Peng's life tonight, and took the moving car here tomorrow morning.

He didn't send any more messages to Qin Peng. Anyway, the other party should be able to understand what's going on after seeing his previous message.

There was one more thing that Lin Nan didn't want to throw into his bag - a scarf.

He dug out the original carton and handbag he had kept from the closet, carefully folded the scarf and put it away, planning to go to a new home tomorrow and then find a nearby dry cleaner to clean it.

It's not that he is reluctant to part with Qi Yubai, Lin Nan said to himself.It's just that I can't bear to part with one thought, and cherish my feelings that were once as hot as boiling water.As for who the object was, he chose not to think about it.

After finishing all this, the hour hand has pointed to nine o'clock.

He didn't want to stay here tonight. After all, he just sent a stern text message to Qin Peng in the morning, and he won't be as respectful as before.

But if he doesn't spend the night here, he can only go to Bohai.

It was his second home, and naturally there are many things waiting for him to sort out.Maybe more than here, one night is not enough.

He called a car and didn't bring anything except the scarf - he was afraid that Qin Peng would touch it again tonight.

After two months away, Bai Hai has changed a lot.

The security guards in the sentry box were changed, and even the nearby convenience store was closed, probably because the rich here rarely patronized such small stores.Entering the courtyard, a street lamp that had been broken before was turned on again, and flower buds hung on the branches pruned by gardeners, but there were still not many people.There is no activity center for the elderly, and there are not many dog ​​walkers. Everyone is busy with their own things, and they are not in the mood to inquire about each other and keep in touch with each other.

Lin Nan walked into the corridor, took off the two payment notices from the water company on the notice board and stuffed them into a paper bag. Then he got on the elevator and took a picture of himself at the elevator door.

There is no difference at all between being famous and before being famous.He was still him, with no missing eyes or multiple noses, his appearance was considered handsome, his clothes were still very ordinary, not to mention the slightest improvement.

But he no longer likes to wear sweaters.He is now wearing a sweater, and He Shan also agrees, after all, the sweater looks younger, the long sleeves half cover the palms, and the shortcoming of being too thin can also be modified by the shape.

The elevator doors opened and the apartment arrived.

As soon as Lin Nan stepped out of the elevator, the sensor light at the door lit up.The hallway was empty, as if never thought that there would be people visiting tonight.

The password is familiar by heart, but he stood at the door and stayed for half a minute before raising his hand to enter.

With a beep, the door lock was unlocked, he pushed down the handle lightly, pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was pitch black and there was no sound, but other than that, there was nothing special about it. Even the smell in the air hadn't changed. It made people feel that this night was just a normal night in the past. He went home early and Qi Yubai hasn't left the company yet.

It should be cleaned regularly, and the contract has not yet expired, so the aunt is still serving.

Lin Nan sniffed the air in the room lightly, and was about to reach out to turn on the light when he was suddenly hugged by someone at the waist.

"what--!"

Lin Nan screamed, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he felt two arms tightly around his waist, and couldn't help shouting: "Who?!"

The person behind him was much taller than himself, but he didn't make a sound immediately.He subconsciously thought it was a burglary, and his nerves were tense for a moment, and his whole body began to struggle violently. He hit his elbow back a few times, and it hit the visitor's chest with a muffled sound.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

Suddenly a familiar deep voice came from behind, the arms were not loose at all, and the tone was the same as when they were rescued at the racecourse.

Lin Nan's body stiffened in an instant, as if someone had tapped his acupoints, and he lost all strength.

The visitor said, "I thought I couldn't wait for you tonight."

He was so shocked that he was stunned for a few seconds before he could react.The arms around his waist were strong and powerful, which made him almost feel tight in the chest and short of breath, and his mind was dizzy.

What's going on now.

Why did Qi Yubai suddenly appear here, and why did he hug him without saying a word.

Bored, bored, or just a whim.

I'm so stupid, I haven't even changed the password of the apartment, so it's hard to guarantee that Qi Yubai won't think that he is still waiting for him to turn around.

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, and then began to struggle to break free. He pushed his fingers apart with both hands and said, "Let go of me...Mr. Qi, please let me go..."

Unexpectedly, Qi Yubai didn't listen to a word, buried his head on the left side of Lin Nan's neck, and pressed his chest tightly against his back.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

It sounded like she was coaxing him.

How long has it been since you heard Qi Yubai's voice and tone?

From that night to today, two months and six days or nine days?Can't remember.

Lin Nan had a sore nose and almost burst into tears immediately.His movements stagnated, and in order not to reveal the secret, he simply lowered his head and dared not speak again.

The man behind him thought that he agreed, his heart softened, his arms tightened suddenly, and he buried it in his neck and took a deep breath.

"How are you?"

His voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to restrain his turbulent emotions.

Although the distance is close at hand and every word is clear, Lin Nan can't understand what he said.Are you good or not...why do you ask this? Whether you are good or not is just your own business. Qi Yubai doesn't care at all, so why bother to ask?

Or……

The skin of Lin Nan's unhealed wound was picked up by the tip of the knife, and the pain immediately suffocated.

"What's Boss Qi doing here?" He clenched his left hand into a fist, his nails piercing hard into his palm, "I feel guilty and want to make sure I'm okay?"

He hates capricious injuries, cheap and superfluous sympathy, and even more so, his weak and incompetent self.

"Lin Nan..." Qi Yubai called him in a low voice.

"I'm fine, nothing wrong, you can rest assured."

The man's face was on the side of his neck, and the heat of his neck rose sharply from the heat. Warm gas gushed out from his nose, and even the sound of panting could be heard clearly.After waiting for a while, no one spoke, and an extremely gentle kiss suddenly fell on his neck, without any erotic meaning.

Lin Nan trembled all over, forced himself to turn his head, stubbornly looked to the right, and closed his eyes forcefully.

"I dreamed of you last night." Qi Yubai said slowly, "I dreamed of when we first met."

"Really?" Lin Nan said indifferently, "1709...Is Mr. Qi living there again?"

Otherwise, how could you think of that day when there was nothing special for no reason?That day, Qi Yubai probably didn't enjoy himself very much.

"No."

Qi Yubai moved his arms up to wrap around his thin shoulders, "You're still lying to me, that's not the first time we've met."

Snapped--

The handbag in Lin Nan's right hand fell to the ground, and the stiff cardboard box in the bag hit the floor, making a dull sound in the quiet room.

His heart beat faster and faster, almost making him worry about being heard by the people behind him.

Before he could answer, Qi Yubai said, "I already know that the person I saved in the parking lot more than a year ago was you."

Only then did Lin Nan realize that he already knew, no wonder he behaved abnormally tonight.

But today, it is meaningless to bring up the old things again. The harm that has been done will not disappear because of this incident, and the love that has been withdrawn will not be re-dedicated because of this incident.

"So what." Lin Nan slowed down and said softly, "Even if you saved me, I am grateful to you, but it doesn't mean anything."

"It means that you have known me for a long time, and that you are deliberately approaching me."

Qi Yubai wrapped his palms in front of him, spread them out and stuck them to his heart: "It means you are hiding me in your heart."

Lin Nan shook his head vigorously when he heard the words, and retorted with all his strength: "You made a mistake, I forgot about that incident a long time ago. If you want me to thank you, then I will say thank you now, Mr. Qi is not Can you let me go?"

The man behind him paused, and said with certainty: "You haven't forgotten at all, that's why you are willing to follow me. I have always wondered what exactly you think and why you are so different from the people I used to get along with. Now I finally Got it. I'm not blaming you, it's just why you didn't tell me earlier, if I had known that you really liked me all along, we might—"

"Boss Qi!"

Lin Nan interrupted.His self-esteem did not allow himself to listen any longer.

"I think you're really mistaken. I did have a crush on you, but I can't say 'I've always liked you'. You said it yourself. We're just playing around, so why not take it seriously."

He returned the words that had hurt Lin Nan badly, but the wound would not heal faster because of it.

"Lin Nan, do we have to talk like this?"

Qi Yubai pulled his shoulders and forced him to look at himself: "I want to tell you that I understand what you mean. I didn't understand you before, but now I am willing to try to understand. Let's stop talking to each other. Say something against your will, okay?"

"You mean, we have to be honest with each other?" Lin Nan asked.

Qi Yubai hummed, looked at his eyes glowing with light in the darkness, pushed aside the broken hair on his forehead and said, "I want to hug you."

It's not that he wants to do anything, he just can't wait to hug his sweetheart into his arms and hold him tenderly.

Lin Nan didn't object, so Qi Yubai hugged him into his arms, his chest pressed against his chest, his heart pounding.

The joy of regaining what was lost occupied Qi Yubai's brain, so he didn't notice Lin Nan's expression was wrong.He fully thought that he had coaxed Lin Nan well, and they would have a long time to talk to each other tonight, and they were not in a hurry to hug each other.

"Should I go to bed next?" Lin Nan suddenly said.

"Or the sofa?"

Qi Yubai looked at him unexpectedly, touched his cheek with his right hand: "I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."

"It's okay." Lin Nan seemed to be hurt by him, and said calmly, "I accept."

"You really misunderstood."

Lin Nan ticked the corner of his mouth: "I really accept it. We have this kind of relationship in the first place, don't we? You said it yourself, you fell asleep comfortably, so you slept a few more times. This house belongs to you, and I can be famous all over the world. Rely on you, you didn't feel sorry for me after we separated. I still owe you, so if you want to sleep, I will continue to accompany you. "

The lines he heard in the rainy night have been replayed countless times in his heart, and he has already memorized them backwards, and he can easily hurt others when they are taken out.

"But since we want to be honest, I think it's still necessary to make it clear to Boss Qi. You can decide whether to continue after listening."

Qi Yubai paused for a few seconds, frowning: "Say it."

Lin Nan plucked up his courage, looked at the eyes he once loved the most, and said word by word: "I slept with someone else."

"What did you say?"

"I said I slept with someone else." He said softly, "I remember Mr. Qi doesn't like to use other people's used things because he is afraid of getting dirty, so I think it is necessary to tell you."

Qi Yubai's two hands holding his shoulders tightened suddenly, with an unbelievable expression on his face, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Qi Jiawen?"

"As for who it is, there's no need to tell Boss Qi."

Qi Yubai loosened his arms and stared at him tightly: "Are you protecting him? Are you afraid that I will embarrass him?"

Lin Nan turned his head and chose to avoid the other party's gaze: "Mr. Qi is overthinking, I just don't think it matters to you who the other party is. As long as Mr. Qi knows that I am no longer yours alone, that's enough. .”

"It's not mine anymore..." Qi Yubai repeated his words in a low voice, his expression pale.

The room was quiet and the moonlight was dim.

The two remained silent for a while, as if neither of them knew how to solve the problem.

Qi Yubai was overwhelmed by his words for nearly [-]% of his spirit, unable to advance or retreat like a trapped animal, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Actually, I have never thought you dirty, you have always been the purest in my heart. "

Lin Nan was stunned for two seconds, and then he chuckled: "I still think I'm innocent after taking care of me. Is this Mr. Qi's fixed line for every lover?"

"Of course not." Qi Yubai's expression was gloomy, but his eyes were extremely serious, "I only told you these words."

"What about now?" Lin Nan asked lightly, "I've slept with others and still think I'm innocent?"

Qi Yubai's expression was a little painful, but he quickly regained his composure, and nodded slightly: "You have always been you. When I thought you just wanted me to be your backer, I gradually developed a good impression of you. Now even if you are with me Whoever has happened, I don't think you have changed."

He has always said the same thing, since he has made it clear that he must be honest with each other, he will not hide it easily.

This is also the first time Lin Nan heard him express his affection for him. He couldn't help but feel shocked, and raised his head to look at the person in front of him.

Regret, cherish, and frankness, all these emotions can be found in Qi Yubai's eyes.

Should I believe it?

Lin Nan asked himself.

Qi Yubai who was carefree in the past, Qi Yubai who was cruel and decisive that night, and Qi Yubai who is gentle and affectionate in front of him, which one is the real one?

He felt confused, and asked softly after a long time: "Can I trust you?"

Qi Yubai didn't expect that he would still have a chance, so he grabbed his fingertips and kissed him: "Of course."

This kiss suddenly evokes many fragmented memories of Lin Nan.In the stairwell of the celebration banquet, and in the car on the night of separation, he tried to kiss Qi Yubai, but unfortunately he was always directly rejected by the other party.

He loves Qi Yubai, so he wants to kiss him, there is no doubt about it.

What about Qi Yubai?

A kiss can not only prove a love, but also express a heart.

He looked down at his fingers, then slowly raised his head and looked at Qi Yubai: "Then can you kiss me? I don't mean the body, I mean here."

He pointed to his lips.

It's not a caress when you're emotional, or an apology after you've been hurt. He wants a kiss, a real kiss.

It's just that after his short sentence, Qi Yubai's body froze obviously, not only didn't step forward to hug him, but stopped on the spot without any movement.

Lin Nan waited for a long time, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, maybe longer.Eyes closed at first, then slowly opened.

Qi Yubai seemed to want to try, even resisted something to try, but in the end his shoulders slackened and he obviously gave up.

The spark that had just ignited in Lin Nan's eyes was extinguished little by little, as if being poured from head to toe by a bucket of ice water, and then he laughed slowly, the more he laughed, the more he laughed, his back arched, and tears flowed down his cheeks. Cheeks run down.

"Lin Nan." Qi Yubai also looked very shocked, holding his arm and said in a low voice, "Lin Nan, don't be like this, don't laugh."

Lin Nan laughed for a long time and finally straightened up slowly. With tears on his face, he pushed Qi Yubai forcefully: "Don't tease me anymore, I beg you, don't torment me anymore..."

"Lin Nan, Lin Nan, listen to me." Qi Yubai hit the wall of the living room and hugged Lin Nan again, no matter how hard he struggled, he would not let go, "Listen to me, listen to me explain."

"Give me a little more time, I need a little more time. It will be all right, I promise you it will be all right."

He repeated his words over and over again, as if he was comforting Lin Nan, but also as if he was convincing himself.

But Lin Nan couldn't understand what he meant, or Lin Nan couldn't listen to what he said.Endless fear and sadness surged from the bottom of his heart, and the nightmare from two months ago reappeared, shattering his peaceful life once again.

"Go...go now..." Lin Nan broke free with all his strength, opened the door and pushed him out, "Please, go...don't come to me again..."

"Lin Nan, Lin Nan!"

boom!

The door is closed.

Pum-pum-pum!Pum-pum-pum!

There was a knock on the door, and it was louder and louder. It was obvious that the people outside the door were already anxious.

Qi Yubai was still calling his name, passing through the thick door into the house.Lin Nan stood with his back to the door for a while, then slowly squatted down, staring directly at the handbag on the floor, covered his ears and stopped listening.
