When Percy went to bed at night, she was still a little nervous about coming out with her parents.
Although his parents are open-minded enough, whether the window paper is pierced or not pierced are two different things.
He lay beside Qi Xun, touched Qi Xun's arm and then touched Qi Xun's chest, he remembered something and wanted to tell Qi Xun, but finally swallowed it back in his stomach.
Qi Xun noticed it and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Percy lowered her eyes, "Nothing."
He turned over, pretended to be sleepy, and said, "Go to sleep, I have to get up for work tomorrow."
Qi Xun took a few glances at his back, and always felt that Percy was in a bad mood, but also felt that he was nervous because he was going home for a showdown in a few days.
He patted Percy on the back reassuringly.
"Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you back," he said to Percy again, "if you don't want to tell your parents, that's fine, don't tell if you don't."
Percy's kiss made her ears go soft.
As soon as Qi Xun spoke to him in such a coaxing tone, he felt dizzy and couldn't find Bei.
He turned around again. Although he knew that this assumption could not happen, he still asked Qi Xun, "What if my parents really disagree and kick me out of the house?"
Qi Xun touched his profile and said seriously, "Then you still have me. In the future, I will accompany you to intercede with your parents during New Years and holidays, and they will soften up one day."
Percy didn't speak.
He looked at Qi Xun with warm eyes. At this moment, his eyes were like a young deer in the forest, full of dependence and trust.
In fact, he just wanted to play coquettish with Qi Xun.
But Qi Xun said seriously that he would be his backing, that he would always accompany him, but it still made his heart soften.
He raised his hand, put his arms around Qi Xun's neck and pressed down, and gave him a kiss.
"Okay, if I get kicked out by my parents, I'll rely on you all the time." He smiled at Qi Xun.
The two talked for a while before the lights were turned off in the bedroom.
Qi Xun fell asleep quickly.
But Percy had a bit of insomnia because she drank too much coffee in the afternoon.
Some old events were playing in his mind like a lantern.
He had been touching Qi Xun just now, in fact, because he remembered that Qi Xun came out of the closet and was beaten badly by the family.
He still remembers everything from that time to this day.
Qi Xun had a showdown with his family before graduating from college. After more than a year of dating with Zhao Qingtong, he came out of the closet with his family.
Of course the Qi family disagreed, but Qi Xun refused to bow his head. Not only was he cut off from the family's financial support, he was also beaten by his father until he had to be hospitalized.
The whole process was horrific.
Percy was not very close to Qi Xun at that time, but she still learned the news and tried to find the ward where Qi Xun lived.
It was also a winter. There was only Qi Xun in the ward, sitting by the window with a bandage on, reading a book. The wound on his face was not yet healed, and he was wearing a hospital gown. Although he was not despicable, he was thin and pale.
He was surprised to see Percy coming, and even more surprised to see Percy weeping in front of him.
Percy still remembers that while Qi Xun wiped his face with a tissue, he asked him suspiciously, "Why are you crying?"
Yes, what is he crying for
Qi Xun didn't come out of the closet for him, nor because of the beating he received. This matter has nothing to do with him from beginning to end, he is just a passerby.
But when he saw Qi Xun's injury, he was so sad that he couldn't speak.
He was not qualified to feel sorry for Qi Xun, but he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
Especially when he knew that Zhao Qingtong was not in China, but was on vacation with his family abroad.
Qi Xun specially chose Zhao Qingtong to go home to deal with all this when Zhao Qingtong was away.
He also asked Qi Xun later, "Why didn't you tell him? You must have paid so much for him, he must be very moved, at least he can come back to see you."
Qi Xun said, "Tell him, it's just to make him worry with me, it's unnecessary. And it's my own decision to showdown with my family, and I should bear it myself."
Percy heard a moment of silence.
He didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart that Zhao Qingtong was really lucky.
And when Zhao Qingtong came back, Qi Xun really didn't tell him that he was in the hospital, he just said that he had a showdown with his family, and now the relationship has broken down, it may take a few years to ease up.
From beginning to end, Zhao Qingtong didn't know what happened to Qi Xun.
But Percy knew.
During Qi Xun's hospitalization, he ran to the hospital every three to five.
Because at that time not only Zhao Qingtong was not in the country, but even Qi Xun's good brothers were stumped by other things. Although they came to visit and went to Qi's house to ask for mercy, they had to get on the plane one by one in the middle of the night. Go somewhere else.
Only Percy was the most free.
So he often took the soup made by his own chef to see Qi Xun and told Qi Xun what his parents were doing recently.
He was truly mindless at the time.
All he did was not expecting Qi Xun to like him, but simply hoping that Qi Xun would have someone to accompany him.
He knew very well in his heart that this was not what he was paying for Qi Xun.
Qi Xun didn't need him from the beginning to the end, and he didn't ask for anything.
It was he who couldn't let go.
Qi Xun owes him nothing.
Therefore, although he frequently visited Qi Xun during his hospitalization, when Qi Xun was discharged from the hospital, he consciously stayed away from Qi Xun.
Like an NPC in a script, he played a role briefly, and when the protagonist returned, he should retire from the stage.
But maybe because of that intersection in the hospital, Qi Xun took the initiative to find him several times later.
It was almost a year after Qi Xun graduated before they really became friends.
Percy blinked, staring at the dark ceiling.
It was already four years ago that Qi Xun had a falling out with his family. In retrospect, it seemed like it happened in the last century.
But he looked at Qi Xun next to him.
To this day, he will still feel distressed for Qi Xun's injury, and will still brood over the disappointment of Qi Xun.
Zhao Qingtong didn't know what happened to Qi Xun that winter until they broke up, because Qi Xun didn't make him feel any pressure.
Only at this time would Bai Xi be particularly jealous of Zhao Qingtong.
Because Zhao Qingtong had all the good things about Qi Xun, and then he hastily and carelessly lost such a good Qi Xun.
Percy quietly held Qi Xun's hand under the quilt.
Of course he knew that his current thoughts were whimsical, but he still thought, if only he was the one who fell in love with Qi Xun at that time.
He may not be able to shelter Qi Xun from the wind and rain, but he will never let Qi Xun face the pressure at home alone, nor will he let Qi Xun recover in the hospital alone.
He will not choose to give up Qi Xun at the last moment.
