33 The Long Night

He said he was going to invite Qiao Hexing to dinner, but when he actually entered the mall, Yu Ci was dumbfounded. There were crowds of people everywhere, restaurants all over the floor, but there was not even a vacant seat, and there was a long queue at the door. team.

"I didn't think there were so many people in this small town before." Yu Ci muttered looking at the crowd.

He turned his head and looked at Qiao Hexing helplessly, "Mr. Qiao, what should we do? I can't return your roses."

In fact, if he calls now, he can find a way to get a position. After all, he is the young master of the Yu family, and some people handle these trivial matters for him.

But when he looked outside the window, there was a group of people gathered by the musical fountain below, most of them were taking short videos with their mobile phones, and he suddenly felt that such a crowded crowd was meaningless.

"Why don't we go back, and I'll treat you to a candlelight dinner." Yu Ci looked at Qiao Hexing with a smile and said, "VIP seats, although there is no musical fountain, there is a small pond at least."

Qiao Hexing naturally listened to him.

Fortunately, it was not far from Yu Ci's house, so they walked around the street without doing anything, and went back with a bouquet of fiery red roses.

It's past seven o'clock now, Yu Ci didn't plan to cook by himself, so he called to order dinner, and the doorbell rang just as he got home.

He had just bought scented candles on the road, and now he lit them one by one and placed them on the stone table in the yard. The hollow lampshade was placed on the outer hood, creating a hazy atmosphere in the dimly lit yard.

The dinner that was just delivered was also put into blue and white porcelain bowls and plates by Yu Ci. These are all porcelains that his mother liked back then. Yu Ci has been carefully storing them all these years. There is also a small antique European silver plate inside. , his mother always used that to pack snacks for him.

Yu Ci took a step back, feeling that this Chinese Valentine's Day dinner still looked good, and he put the roses that Qiao Hexing bought for him on the table. The fiery red roses were not very clear under the candlelight, but they could still see the full and charming outline.

He also poured some wine for Qiao Hexing, but he only dared to drink peach juice.

Qiao Hexing clinked glasses with him lightly, "Happy Qixi Festival."

"My family often had dinner here when I was young," Yu Ci chatted with Qiao Hexing while eating, "One year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Uncle Shang and my dad also came over, and the four adults sat with me on the small stone table. When I was too young, I poured all the juice on Uncle Shang."

But in his memory, he has only passed this kind of Mid-Autumn Festival twice, and the four most important relatives in his life are by his side. He is still young, and he doesn't know how to cherish such a beautiful time, so he splashed Shang Ming with fruit juice He also smiled silly, and was slapped on the ass by his mother.

"There is also the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard. In autumn, my mother will cut off many branches and put a little in each house. The whole house will be fragrant." Yu Ci murmured.

He looked at this courtyard. He had only lived here for eight years, but these eight years of life followed his life like a shadow. heart.

Qiao Hexing held Yu Ci's hand, "We can come back anytime in the future."

Only then did Yu Ci come back to his senses, and saw Qiao Hexing's dark eyes, the candlelight was reflected in them, and he was also reflected in them.

Yu Ci smiled, "I'm not sad, it's just a little emotional."

Seeing that Qiao Hexing didn't believe it, he added, "My parents have passed away for too many years, and I am living a very good life now, there is nothing unhappy about it."

But he looked at Qiao Hexing and thought to himself, if my parents could see you by my side, they would be very happy.

Qiao Hexing looked at him quietly, said nothing, just cut a piece of veal and sent it to Yu Ci's bowl.

Until the time of sleeping, Yu Ci did not show any sad look.

He and Qiao Hexing changed into their pajamas and slept together on the bed he had when he was a child. This bed was a bit narrow for two adults, but because of this, they were very close, squeezed intimately under the quilt, with their calves Legs hooked, shoulders next to shoulders.

Yu Ci pointed to Qiao Hexing to show the words he carved with a knife on the bed when he was a child. It was a carved bed, but he ruined it.

Qiao Hexing looked at the crooked words and said, "You were quite naughty when you were young."

Yu Ci swayed his legs on the bed, didn't deny it, he smiled, showing a very shallow dimple, "I was actually very skinny when I was a child, my dad always couldn't help but take care of me, and if my mother wanted to beat me, he would take me with me. I ran away, so I was always unrepentant."

It was in the orphanage that he really learned how to be well-behaved and sensible.

Although he only lived in the orphanage for a few days, his parents had just passed away at that time, and a group of unknown relatives surrounded his house, took away the jewelry from his mother's table, and hung his father's jewelry on the wall. The collection was also taken away, but when they turned their heads and saw him, they showed a sense of impatience and bit each other's ears behind his back.

He has nothing but the little panda toy in his arms, which was the last birthday present his mother bought him.

But he didn't want to talk to Qiao Hexing about these things.

Yu Ci turned over and got into bed, the sky was already full of stars outside, and the night was as cold as water.

He closed his eyes, and his voice became a little vague, "The first poem my dad taught me was that the sky is as cool as water at night, sit and watch Altair Vega. But I can't remember it, I heard my dad ask me Mom, is this really our own cub? Why are you so stupid. "

He heard Qiao Hexing laugh, and said, "I'm a bit stupid. I have been secretly in love with me for so long, and I secretly send flowers and cold medicine, but I dare not say anything."

Yu Ci kicked Qiao Hexing under the quilt.

"Go to sleep." Yu Ci's voice revealed a deep sense of sleepiness.

Qiao Hexing responded, and shook Yu Ci's hand under the quilt.

Qiao Hexing fell asleep watching Yu Ci.

However, after sleeping until midnight, Qiao Hexing woke up from the dream, only to find that there was no one around him.

He touched his phone and took a look. It was three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the bed at Yu Ci's side had turned cold, which meant that no one had slept on it for a long time.

Qiao Hexing put on his clothes and got up too.

Yu Ci did not run away from home, Qiao Hexing found him in the corridor.

In the darkness of the night, there was no light in the yard, only a thin figure could be seen, sitting on a recliner under the corridor, dressed in thin clothes, looking at the distance and wondering what he was thinking.

The light in Qiao Hexing's hand shone through, and Yu Ci couldn't dodge in time, allowing Qiao Hexing to see the tears on his face and a photo in his hand.Although it was just a few short glances, it was enough for Qiao Hexing to see that it was a photo of Yu Ci and his parents and family of three.

Qiao Hexing turned off the flashlight on the phone, walked to Yu Ci's side, and sat down on the chair next to him.He didn't make a fuss and asked Yu Ci why he was crying, but held the back of Yu Ci's hand and said in a low voice, "I just woke up and didn't see you, so I was a little worried."

Yu Ci knew that his tear-stained face was seen clearly just now, so he didn't hide in vain.

The small photo was held in his hand, with sharp edges, which hurt his hand.

He actually had a very happy day today. Today is Qixi Festival. Qiao Hexing accompanied him back to his parents' old house, bought him flowers, and the two of them had a candlelight dinner.

It's all good and good.

But when he woke up in the middle of the night, he was still sitting alone in the corridor, crying silently in the darkness where no light could be seen.

"I just dreamed about my parents. They are still so young." Yu Ci's voice sounded in the night, very softly, it was the sound of fine snow falling on pine branches, "I don't really want to cry. I am so old It's been so good, I shouldn't cry anymore."

"I know that I am actually very lucky. Although my parents passed away, my dad picked me up after only a few days in the orphanage. Everyone said I was lucky. I became the young master of the Yu family from an orphan. What's more, my dad is still so kind to me. He loved me when I was a child. When I arrived at Yu's house, he was afraid that I would not be happy. He was so busy every day, but he still wanted to come back to eat with me.

Yu Ci looked blankly at the courtyard in front of him, this courtyard perfectly preserved his childhood impressions, enough to see how much Yu Chenyan cared about him.

Yu Chenyan loved him since his parents were still alive, and later took him to Yu's house, and never wronged him.So he really didn't have any miserable experiences, and he didn't lack family affection.

"In the past 20 years, I have never had a bad life. When I first fell in love, I fell in love with someone like you, and it turned out that you also liked me. You see, I am really lucky."

Qiao Hexing listened silently, he held Yu Ci's hand, and Yu Ci's hand was cold even on a summer night, enough to tell how long he had been sitting in the yard.

He heard Yu Ci crying slightly, and asked him, "I'm so lucky, why am I still so sad?"

Qiao Hexing's heart was tightened by his crying.

"I just dreamed about my parents again. In the dream, they looked at me and asked me how I was doing. I kept saying that I was doing well, but they couldn't hear me." Yu Ci's tears fell drop by drop, Dropped on the overlapping hands of him and Qiao Hexing, "I'm really sad, I'm sad when I think they can never really see you. I've grown into an adult, I'm doing well, the person I like They like me too, but they can't see them all."

Qiao Hexing hugged Yu Ci into his arms.

Yu Ci lay on his shoulders, at first he was still choking with suppressed sobs, but later it turned into howling.

He still remembers when his mother passed away, hugged him full of worry, and said to himself, "What will you do when I'm gone? You have been bullied, and neither your father nor I can come to support you anymore. Words, you are too young, too obedient, we shouldn't raise you so obediently."

At that time, his mother was already skinny, but she still cared about his future life.

For so many years, he has always dreamed of this scene.

Dreaming that his mother was wearing a hospital gown, with the white walls of the hospital behind her, protecting him in her arms full of worry.

He really wanted to let his parents feel at ease, let them know that he was doing well, Yu Chenyan protected him very well, and told him that it was okay to be soft, as long as the Yu family was there, no one could bully him.

But he didn't know how to let his parents, who were already sleeping underground, know this.

When Yu Chenyan arrived, his mother had already held the funeral, and Lin Hanwei was worried that his son would be left alone until his death.

Now he is hugging Qiao Hexing, Qiao Hexing's shoulders are so broad, and his arms are so hard.

He knew that Qiao Hexing loved him, that's why he lay on Qiao Hexing's shoulder and wept uncontrollably, "I really want them to take a look at you, as long as they know that I'm doing well."

Qiao Hexing patted Yu Ci's back once and for all.

In fact, he doesn't have much experience in comforting others. From birth to now, he has been indifferent most of the time, and few people can share a little tenderness in his heart.

But now there is a Yu Ci on the tip of his heart, a soft Yu Ci, he will not lose his temper or do bad things, but a random action can touch his heart.

He could only awkwardly kiss Yu Ci's tear-wet eyes, "Don't cry, your parents will know."

But Yu Ci cried even more fiercely. When he first arrived at Yu's house, Yu Chenyan hugged him like this, telling him not to cry.

He has never suffered in his life, nor has he been displaced.

But he is still greedy, he wants all the most important people in his life to be there.

"Qiao Hexing, don't leave me, okay?" Yu Ci tightened Qiao Hexing's clothes, "My father and my mother told me that they would always be by my side. My father said he would accompany me to start school, but he broke his promise .My mom said she was going to wait to see me grow up, but she didn't."

Yu Ci's tears made Qiao Hexing's clothes wet, and the night wind blew over, feeling a bit chilly.

Yu Ci thought, he was really afraid.

He was too scared.

When he was a child, he always wanted to find Yu Chenyan, there was no need to do anything, just let him look at Yu Chenyan.Because he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would lose Yu Chenyan again, and he was too afraid that everyone he liked would leave him.

Yu Chenyan didn't know what was going on with Yu Ci at first, but when he found out, he was silent for a while, and then started to bring Yu Ci to work together.

"Qiao Hexing, promise me, don't lie to me." Yu Ci choked up and said, "Even if we break up in the future, there will be a day when we won't see each other again, but you have to let me know that you are here, okay?"

Qiao Hexing kissed Yu Ci's lips.

Yu Ci felt that his face must be ugly from crying, but Qiao Hexing's kiss was too gentle.

"Don't talk nonsense," Qiao Hexing reproached lightly, but he quickly kissed his depressed face carefully again, "I promise you, you will always find me. I have already proposed to you, if you don't marry me You, how can I be willing?"

In the night wind, the water lilies in the small pond were half in bloom, and with the night wind, there was a faint scent of lotus flowers.The chirping of cicadas is very noisy even in summer night, but it makes this summer night extraordinarily quiet.

Qiao Hexing wiped away the tears on Yu Ci's face with the back of his hand.

"Tomorrow I'll go with you to see your parents," Qiao Hexing said with a soft voice, holding his depressed lips, "They will see and know that I like you very much. I have to thank them for giving birth to such a wonderful child. you."
