Sugar

Of course Cheng Che wasn't very calm.

All without warning.

The scariest thing is to have no warning, because there is no way to react.

So much so that from the day Zhao Qingling disappeared, he was on the verge of collapse.

In the first few days, Cheng Che thought about all the things he might have done wrong in the past two years, from beginning to end, many times.

He thought of countless possibilities.

Then they denied it one by one.

There is no reason.

A man who took him home at his most difficult and ordinary time, misunderstood that he had sold himself and said he wanted him without hesitation, there was no reason for him to be "not good enough" or because he accidentally said something wrong or Do something wrong and despise him.

Why?

do not know.

Cheng Che felt as if he had fallen into a dark forest.Like a little black rabbit, running in vain, unable to find a ray of light, braked repeatedly, and found that he was only a little bit about to fall into the abyss.

But in the end, he steadied himself.

I don't know how it was done, but somehow it stabilized.

……

Cheng Che went to and from get off work as usual, lived as usual, and took care of his younger brothers, the world was still the same.

The days passed by.

At least on his face, there is no trace of cracks.

Only occasionally, when driving all the way to neon lights after get off work, I feel that the surrounding is too quiet.Only once in a while, I open the fridge and never see the shrimp balls and brownies that someone always buys for him.

It's just that in the long night, a person's room is too quiet.

And he has long been used to warm hugs and sticky hands, it seems that only with gentle breathing can he fall asleep easily.

Gradually, Cheng Che realized that he no longer wanted a "reason".

No more wanting to explain, no more wanting to know "why".

Just simply miss Zhao Qingling very much.

Such longing, especially when the children go to school in the afternoon, when he is alone in a daze in the living room, spreads secretly and pervasively.

It will affect the heart and bring the whole chest pain together.

At that time, Cheng Che would curl up on the sofa and smile slightly.

He took that pain as a punishment for himself.

Punishment for slowness and hindsight.

When the home is empty, the living room on the first floor will appear larger.European-style minimalist furniture decoration, typical Zhao Qingling's subtle and low-key elegance.

The carpet is snow-white, and when you step on it with bare feet, the fluff is very comfortable.

Sometimes Cheng Che, holding his knees in a daze under the sun, would think of the first time he entered this house.

At that time, he was rustic and stupid.

For the first time, it was tricked back by Zhao Qingling.

After drinking some wine for dinner, she felt dizzy, only vaguely thinking about how big and beautiful this house is, and then she was dragged by the back and pushed into the porch.

The porch is lit up, and the woody fragrance blows over the face.He was really dizzy at the time, and he didn't know that people helped him take off his shoes and socks. He only remembered the moment when he stepped on the carpet for the first time.

Like stepping on a cloud.

And now, stepping on the same carpet, Cheng Che floated across the living room like a ghost.

Against the floor-to-ceiling windows is a beautiful black grand piano.

Zhao Qingling can play the piano very well.I still remember that he was on stage at a New Year's concert in a certain year in high school.Cheng Che was in the audience at the time, watching him from a distance. He was fascinated by the song, but a little sour.

"Ding--"

His fingers tapped the keys, making a low sound.

Cheng Che's hands are so slender that many people say that his fingers are suitable for learning the piano, although his family background when he was a child obviously did not have such an opportunity.

He also remembered a certain scene, when they were not together, it was the most ambiguous period.

[Why have you been staring at it, do you want to try it out? 】

Zhao Qingling pulled him over, let him sit on the edge of his bench, pressed his fingers, made a "ding ding dong dong", and jumped a few keys.

The notes are simple, playful and sweet.

[Come on, try it yourself. 】

Cheng Che still remembered that they were very close at that time, he lowered his eyes, his heart was beating hard, and he was ashamed: 【...I won't. 】

【Very simple. 】

The male god's hand covered his fingers again, "dososo..." Zhao Qingling's finger jumped a key, "laso".

Then press his finger again - "famiredo".

Cheng Che still remembered that he saw it in the night outside the window.

It's true, twinkling and twinkling, the sky is full of little stars.

……

In this way, for many afternoons alone, Cheng Che gradually fell in love with hugging his knees like this, sweetly and bitterly staring blankly on the sofa for a while.

He thought of many things, including the first time Zhao Qingling's family had English tea.

Zhao Qingling made the tea himself, and made round biscuits with lace.Too bad he missed it, and the cookie crumbs got on the red wooden floor.

He was a little flustered, but the male god immediately smiled and said: 【It's okay, it's okay. 】

[Do you think my house is very clean, without even a single hair?Well, that's because my aunt just came today for cleaning. 】

[Take a look tomorrow, it's just a doghouse.I'm lazy, not the kind of person who collects. 】

After being together for two years, he found that the male god was really lazy and cute.

Sometimes, Cheng Che would think of the beginning of their cohabitation—during that time, he had just gone to work in Zhao Qingling's company, and Zhao Qingling "tricked" him into moving to his house every day.

Cheng Che was overwhelmed by flattery, but he really didn't dare to make a mistake, so he repeatedly refused against his will.

Later, probably because he was too tired from working overtime, he had a stomach attack and passed out.I only vaguely remember the first time I woke up in the hospital, and when I woke up the second time, I was already on Zhao Qingling's bed, and Zhao Qingling fed him porridge, very tough and domineering:

"In the future, you must stay with me! Stay at my house for me to raise!"

"I want to raise you well and make sure you won't get sick again."

They were able to be together, it seemed that Zhao Qingling chased him the whole time.

After all, he didn't dare to chase after the male god. His original intention was just to come to work and look at him a few more times, but he was caught off guard by the male god.I come to him countless times on and off work every day, take him to the movies with movie tickets, take him out to eat delicious food, buy clothes and shoes.

Then, instead of watching a movie in the cinema, he grabbed his hand and rubbed it in the palm of his hand; when trying on shoes, he didn't intend to try on the shoes at all, but squatted down and pinched the soles of his feet repeatedly: "I help you." you wear."

In the crowd, Cheng Che was secretly molested all day long, with nowhere to hide, and his face was flushed.

Of course, he's always known since then.

Knowing that in this world, there will never be inexplicable good things easily, and luck that comes at will.

So from the first day that good luck came, for a time, he was waiting.

Waiting for the sword hanging over the head to fall, waiting for the day to liquidate and pay the price for all the indescribable happiness and beauty obtained.

It's ironic.

After waiting for so long and secretly trembling in fear for so long, the sword did not fall.

Until gradually, he possessed more and more.

It wasn't until later that he finally had the courage to completely surrender his entire being without reservation.

When the warmth, understanding, and sense of security piled up to the point that he was no longer afraid of anything, the sword suddenly turned back and liquidated it unexpectedly, piercing his heart with a sharp blade.

……

Someone outside started spreading the word that they had broken up.

Cheng Che has always insisted that "there is no breakup".

Insist on Zhao Qingling "just go out and relax."

He said so, and the two younger brothers even defended this statement like chicken blood.

but.

Cheng Che sometimes asks himself, will he really come back?

Maybe never come back.

Maybe there was no need for a reason, maybe he just didn't like him all of a sudden.

People are such a strange thing, since you will suddenly like someone one day, of course you will suddenly dislike someone one day.

What's more, that person is still Zhao Qingling, it's really not easy for Zhao Qingling to seriously like someone for two years.

Perhaps, this is the limit.

Maybe he should just accept reality.

But Cheng Che was still unwilling to accept the facts, so he began to devote himself to work more and kept himself as busy as possible.

Coincidentally, Father Zhao also asked him to go to S city to help again after this time.

Let him go, half because the company really needs such a capable executive at the moment, and the other half is probably because he knows that his son is mentally ill, he is sorry for others, and the compensation is given out of guilt.

One day the old man drank too much, and took Cheng Che's hand and said to him, "Oh, my two sons are hopeless."

"One is self-willed and arrogant, and the other looks down on me for being a little troublemaker. Xiao Cheng, you know, uncles and aunts have always regarded you as their own. You do well, and all the hard work of my life will be completed in the future." Leave it to you."

The problem was that Cheng Che wasn't the only one at the wine table that day, there were other executives as well.

So the next day, the news that Mr. Cheng was indeed the "successor of the prince" spread like wildfire.Mr. Cheng has been able to reform the structure and implement administrative orders in the company without hindrance.

Of course, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility. In order to complete a big project in those two weeks, Cheng Che inevitably stayed up for several nights.There was no time to rest after the end, and the financial media immediately came to interview.

I really don't want to go.

Cheng Che felt that he had been so gloomy for a while, and the video he took must be haggard and miserable.

Unexpectedly, it is not ugly to shoot.

The media even blatantly used words like "good looks", and the news that he might become the heir of the group was directly acquiesced in an interview with Zhao's father.

All of a sudden, there was no two in the limelight in financial gossip.

Cheng Che sometimes felt that there might be nothing wrong with this.Since Uncle Zhao approves of him, he will do well, maybe he will succeed as CEO in the future.

Zhao Qingling may not want him, but it is impossible not to go home forever.

If he really became the manager of their family's business, he would inevitably hang around in front of Zhao Qingling for the rest of his life, and would annoy him even if he didn't want to see him.

There is nothing to despair because life is long.

It doesn't matter if you don't like him suddenly, because life is still very long, very long, very long.

He has ten years, 20 years, 30 years.

Likes suddenly turn into dislikes.If you don't like it, you might like it one day.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that two years ago, if someone asked him at that time that he would have the temperament and talent he has today, he would definitely shake his head and say it was impossible.

But in fact, he did.

Then in another ten or twenty years, he will definitely get better.Maybe she will be a little older by then, but she will definitely be more attractive.

There is still a chance.

And anyway, originally, he planned to wait silently for the rest of his life.

Thinking about the original intention, he is already on the road and has gained a lot.

From an ordinary little fox to a little prince's little fox.

Moreover, the color of the wheat field has been obtained.

……

Three months after Zhao Qingling ran away, Qi Wei was invited back to China to discuss cooperation with a university in City A.

Cheng Che was busy in City S and couldn't come back. Zhao Qingyan and Cheng Chi hosted Qi Wei for a stay and ate seafood hot pot together at home.

While eating, at noon, Cheng Che suddenly appeared at the door.

He looked at Qi Wei: "You know the reason. You always knew, right?"

He has been thinking, trying to figure out where he missed and where he went wrong.

Until that morning, he suddenly recalled that during the New Year in the snow and under the fireworks, Qi Wei seemed to have said something to him, but he didn't hear clearly at that time.

"You know, you tell me."

"..." Qi Wei swallowed the half mouthful of fish balls he had just grabbed with an innocent face.

Of course he knew.

He always knew.

If the rules allow, he really wants to tell Cheng Che the answer immediately.

But he can't say.

... A long time ago, there was an outrageous story.

A squeamish prince on a pea fell under the magic of sleeping.Only his knights had to work hard all the way through the mountains and jungles to reach him in order to unravel the curse with their own hands.

Later, the knight went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and finally came to the edge of the castle, but was blocked by thorns.

The knight then went to the magician for help.Magicians do have the ability to open a magic circle and teleport the knight to the prince.

But he can't do that.

Because once you do that, the whole story doesn't exist.And if the magician helps, then from now on, the prince will never be able to look forward to his only knight——

What the prince wanted was never to "wake up".

The prince was always awake.

It's just that although he is awake, he is still the charming prince on the pea. He wants to be able to verify with his own eyes that there is a person who can save him regardless of dangers and scars as written in the storybook.

So he locked himself in the castle, unwilling to come out.

Waiting and waiting.

It's a very stupid story that seems to have no inevitable reason, but it happens to be very true.

……

After watching the two "break up" for three months, Qi Wei was clear to the bystanders.

The whole process felt helpless, anxious, and funny.

Because those two people are so well matched, no matter what twists and turns they have when they are together, they can finally fit together perfectly and tacitly.

But sometimes, the two people's thinking circuits are biased, and they can be so different.

So for three whole months, Qi Wei watched Cheng Che solve math problems with Chinese thinking, and the little black rabbit kept circling in circles, unable to touch the crux of the problem.

But that afternoon, Cheng Che suddenly said, "I'm going to find him."

"..."

"Go to him and explain things to him."

"No, I didn't make it clear, it should be said... I tried to coax him back, or tricked him back, or knocked him out and carried him back!"

"How can it be so easy to run away and raise two children together, and if you don't want to raise them, you won't raise them?"

"I'm not that good at talking either."

"I'm leaving, you wait for me at home."

The sun shines on the living room, and there is a little bit of light and dust floating in it.

It reminded Qi Wei of that same afternoon, when Brother Cheng's side profile was so pretty, he felt that Zhao Qingling missed the grand scene of the world again.

Before meeting Cheng Che, it was hard to imagine that some people were so strong and stubborn under a calm appearance.

Of course, before meeting Zhao Qingling, Qi Wei had never seen such a person with such a glamorous appearance but a broken interior.Luckily, although he is broken, he is very good at picking people, and the man he picks is really willing to clean up his broken pieces.

After Cheng Che left, Zhao Qingyan asked Qi Wei, "Is it all right now?"

"Probably so." Qi Wei thought for a while, "Of course, the senior may cry or make a fuss, after all, he has been waiting for Brother Cheng to find him for so long. It must have been aggrieved to wait so long that it was about to wither."

"But it's okay to coax him, brother Cheng will coax him."

Cheng Chi: "?!?!?"

"Wait, what are you two talking about? Who is wronged? Brother-in-law is wronged? What is he wronged?"

"My brother is aggrieved! You still want to go to him? You have to turn around and coax him? It is obvious that he is irresponsible and abandons his husband and son, so why should my brother be obedient and four-virtuous, ah no!"

Qi Wei: "You don't understand."

Qi Wei: "Just be that brother-in-law of yours... He is a lost brat who suddenly returned to the arms of his family. He is very wronged. He needs someone to hold him high and coax him every day."

Cheng Chi: "Damn it... Did he 'lost'? He ran away by himself!"

Qi Wei: "He has been missing for more than [-] years, you just don't know."
