Bai Xi looked at Zhao Qingtong blankly.
He didn't understand why Zhao Qingtong thought so.
Back then in the university, Zhao Qingtong and Qi Xun were famous model couples. He also saw Qi Xun waiting for Zhao Qingtong to finish class, standing tall and handsome downstairs, like a landscape, not at all difficult. bother.
He passed by, casually greeted Qi Xun and left, but his heart was bubbling with sourness, and he almost didn't cry when he went back.
Zhao Qingtong glanced at his face and knew what Percy was thinking.
He lost his face anyway, so he simply opened the skylight and said something bright.
He said to Percy, "You all think he's very nice to me, don't you? I'll obey everything I ask, and I won't mess with flowers, I won't quarrel with me, and I can't find it with a lantern. Such a good boyfriend."
Percy nodded.
He did think so.
Zhao Qingtong smiled sarcastically, "I thought so too at first. He's really good, but he's like a robot, do you understand? He won't be jealous, he won't get angry, I'll travel with others, go camping , he never asked, he just let me have fun. Some schoolmates and juniors confessed to me, and he just calmly let me handle it by myself, without even looking at it. He will also make careful arrangements for me, if I'm going to graduate and be a jerk and he'll probably take care of me too. But I can't feel how special I am to him. He's like a finely tuned machine, perfectly playing the role of boyfriend."
When Zhao Qingtong said this, his eyes were red, but he took a deep breath and held back the only little tear.
This failed love at the time has haunted him to this day.
But now that he said it, he felt relieved.
It's like a wound that has been around for years, but it gets worse and sheds pus when you keep covering it.
He said, "Actually, I figured it out later. I chased Qi Xun vigorously for two years. He was probably moved by me and felt responsible for me, so he agreed to be my boyfriend. But I want more than It's his responsibility, it's not just his connivance, I want him to love me. Is that wrong?"
When he said this, it was as if he was asking Percy, as if he was asking himself four years ago.
Percy couldn't answer the question.
At first, he listened to Zhao Qingtong's words with a condemnation mentality, but the more he listened, the more his heart sank, as if he was being pressed by something.
Fortunately, Zhao Qingtong didn't want his answer either.
Zhao Qingtong added, "I didn't break up with him because I wanted to go abroad at all, I just quarreled with him on purpose to see what step he was willing to do for me. Later, when I kissed others, I wanted to anger him, so I wanted to take a gamble. , as long as he has any intention of retaining me, I will not give up."
He stopped here.
He blinked, and in front of him was still the noisy infusion hall. Children were running, and nurses were whispering to comfort patients. But time seemed to stand still for a moment, and it was back to the summer more than four years ago. Ru Hai, he deliberately kissed someone downstairs in the apartment, turned around and saw Qi Xun's face.
But even at this moment, Qi Xun did not lose his demeanor, but said to him, "Excuse me."
Then turn around and leave.
Zhao Qingtong closed his eyes and raised his head again. He pulled away from the summer more than four years ago and returned to this hospital.
He looked at Percy and saw himself in Percy's eyes.
He whispered, "I lost the bet, he didn't choose me."
He lost terribly and walked away without hesitation.
Over the years, he has also had other people abroad, and he is passionate about him, but he feels that something is wrong. After four years like this, he felt that he was mature enough to return to China and wanted to see who Qi Xun was going to marry.
He was very curious, did the person who married Qi Xun get what he didn't get back then
Now he saw Percy.
Percy was the same as when she was at school, beautiful, gentle, not shrewd at all, and a little goofy, but hard to hate.
He saw the diamond ring on Percy's hand. It was an engagement ring. He had also seen it on Qi Xun's hand. He thought that he would be somewhat angry and unwilling, just like meeting on an island.
But he was only a little disappointed.
He smiled at Percy, "I'm really letting go now, Qi Xun is not as good as I remembered, at least it's not good for me. I haven't congratulated you on your engagement yet, although my status is quite embarrassing, But this sentence is true. To be honest, I'm also quite surprised that Qi Xun was able to meet true love and even get married."
But Percy didn't know how to answer. The word "true love" sounded beautiful, but he didn't dare to recognize it.
Because he also once thought that Qi Xun was true love for Zhao Qingtong.
So he used to be extremely jealous of this person in front of him, secretly blaming him for why he abandoned Qi Xun.
But after listening to all Zhao Qingtong's words, he realized the other side of the relationship.
This made him feel complicated, and even something hurt him.
He wasn't happy at all.
Because he understands this kind of worry too much.
When he accepted Qi Xun's proposal ring, he also thought about how much Qi Xun loved him.
But he couldn't help but say, "You shouldn't treat him like that."
He looked at Zhao Qingtong seriously, "Qi Xun may not be a good lover, but he hasn't done anything wrong to you. You shouldn't give him such an embarrassing ending."
It was also Qi Xun's first love.
Qi Xun has always been proud, even if the ending is tragic and his heart is depressed, he will not say a word.
Zhao Qingtong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly admitted, "You are right."
He was really young and energetic back then, and if it were now, he might not have handled it so badly.
He smiled at Percy, "So I won't pester him. If I miss him, I miss it. I chased him very hard, and it was very fulfilling to win him, but everything after that showed that the two of us were inappropriate."
Percy looked into Zhao Qingtong's eyes.
He felt that Zhao Qingtong was telling the truth.
Maybe when the island reunited, Zhao Qingtong had just reunited with Qi Xun, and he was still nostalgic, but now Zhao Qingtong has calmed down, as if he really let go.
He nodded, "Well, I believe you."
Zhao Qingtong couldn't take it anymore, he wiped his eyes with the tissue that Percy gave him, and there were no tears at all.
Before he returned to China, he would never have thought that he would sit with Qi Xun's fiance in a friendly manner.
He also confided in Percy what happened in his heart.
After speaking, he felt much more comfortable.
But he couldn't help but ask Percy, "You are so soft, are you really not going to be bullied to death, are you so defenseless against anyone?" Do you like this one?"
It's no wonder that he and Qi Xun couldn't go on.
He almost disappeared because of Qi Xun's sadness, but the desire for gossip prevailed.
He asked Percy curiously, "How did you get together, you chased him?"
Percy always felt that there was something wrong with this style of painting... Is their relationship really suitable for talking about this
But he shook his head honestly.
Zhao Qingtong's eyes widened, "Is that Qi Xun chasing you?"
"Neither."
Percy explained briefly, "He accidentally learned that I had a crush on him for six years. He was moved by me and thought he could try it with me. Maybe we would be a good fit. He tried and got married."
He didn't know why he told Zhao Qingtong this.
It's a bit embarrassing to say.
It's like exchanging secrets.
But he still smiled at Zhao Qingtong, "I'm not as special as you think."
Zhao Qingtong's expression became more complicated.
He didn't expect this answer, so what's the difference between him and him back then
He couldn't help asking, "Then why did Qi Xun marry you?"
Percy said, "I don't know, maybe it's because we're really in sync and we're happy together, and it's time for him to start a family and start a business."
Zhao Qingtong's face was even more distorted, and after several times of calming down, he couldn't restrain himself from blurting out the swear words to his ex.
He asked, "What about you, why are you willing to marry Qi Xun?"
This time Percy answered quickly, "Because I love him."
When he mentioned Qi Xun, he smiled unconsciously, and his eyes were very gentle. At first glance, he was immersed in love, his eyes were curved, and the dimples were looming.
He said, "He smiled at me so nicely that I couldn't bear to reject him at all."
Zhao Qingtong was stunned.
He looked at Percy from top to bottom, and felt that there was a Buddha's light on him, the kind that Cihang Pudu.
He slumped on the seat and stared at Percy speechlessly. After a while, he muttered, "You are stupid."
Bai Xi refused to accept it, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhao Qingtong say the second half of the sentence.
"But maybe it's just you who is suitable to be with Qi Xun." Zhao Qingtong said sincerely, "He is lucky to meet you."
Luckily he was a little jealous.
Percy's anger vanished again.
Seeing Zhao Qingtong is also pleasing to the eye.
Bo Xi accompanied Zhao Qingtong to finish the drip, and after talking about it, the atmosphere between him and Zhao Qingtong was no longer awkward. After all, the two of them were classmates, and they could talk about university together.
After the drip is finished, according to Percy's idea, Zhao Qingtong will be sent back, and then he will contact his friends or family to take care of him.
But Zhao Qingtong seemed to be attached to him. As soon as the needle was pulled out, he said confidently, "I'm hungry."
Percy: "?"
Zhao Qingtong knew that Bo Xi was eating soft and not hard, so he coughed weakly, "You have been with me in the hospital, so it would not be too much to accompany me to have a meal. It is not convenient for me to do anything now."
Percy: "...you don't get too far."
But half an hour later, he still rented a wheelchair from the hospital and took Zhao Qingtong to a Cantonese restaurant in front of the hospital for dinner.
Percy kept reciting silently during the ordering process, and she should do good deeds.
Zhao Qingtong was smiling.
But he didn't expect that while waiting for the food, he would receive a call from Qi Xun. Qi Xun had finished working overtime and asked him where he was and if he wanted to have supper and bring him a copy.
Bai Xi looked at the barbecued pork cake just served in front of him, and then looked at Zhao Qingtong opposite, suddenly feeling that the phone was a little hot.
He wasn't sure for a while whether he should tell Qi Xun the truth.
He said vaguely, "I'm in Xindu No. 2 Hospital. I accompany a friend to see a doctor and have dinner. You don't have to worry about me."
Qi Xun also doubted him, and just asked casually, "Which friend, colleague?"
Percy was just trying to deal with it.
Zhao Qingtong coughed loudly on the opposite side, "Percy, it seems that my leg still hurts a little."
Qi Xun didn't hear Zhao Qingtong's voice at first, but felt very familiar.
But he hasn't forgotten to this point, after a few seconds, he can guess who the opposite is.
"Zhao Qingtong?!" He asked Percy in disbelief, "Why are you with him? Did he trouble you?"
Zhao Qingtong rolled his eyes when he heard this.
Percy almost threw the phone out.
He glared at Zhao Qingtong and quickly explained the whole story to Qi Xun.
Of course Qi Xun knew that Percy wouldn't lie, but he felt uneasy when he thought that the opposite was Zhao Qingtong, and he didn't know what he would say to Percy.
He could only tell Percy, "I'll come right over, don't pay attention to what he says."
Zhao Qingtong has very good ears, and there are not many people in the store. He is close to Percy, and he can guess Qi Xun's bad words about him with just a few words.
He sneered, and changed his face to face Percy again, "I'll be alone at night, Percy, can you accompany me?"
His voice was not small, and Qi Xun heard it without a word.
He asked Percy to switch to a speakerphone, and couldn't help but warn, "Zhao Qingtong, are you enough, why are you pestering Percy?"
Zhao Qingtong put down his chopsticks, hugged his hands, and smiled, "It's none of your business if I eat with Percy, do you care too much. Percy took care of me for an afternoon, being very careful, afraid of me being cold and afraid of me. It's uncomfortable, and you bought me a drink. You are not a good person, and you have a good eye for finding a partner. "
He didn't say anything wrong, but when combined, the tea was full of tea.
Qi Xun was so angry that he hadn't seen each other for a few years. Compared with that year, Zhao Qingtong's ability to anger people was even worse.
But he was driving and it was not suitable for him to quarrel with Zhao Qingtong, so he just said to Percy, "I'll be right over here."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Percy was stunned, wondering how things had turned out like this.
Zhao Qingtong was calm, and brought the dim sum that had just been served in front of Bai Xi, and said warmly, "Eat it quickly, it's not good if it's cold."
Percy: "..."
