Coming down from the roof beams, Ren Yi found Gong Yingxian standing in the corridor outside the inspection hatch, and when he saw him, he said coldly, "Go to the ambulance to check."
Ren Yi thought to himself, is he waiting for him
Ren Yi sadly found that even in such a bad situation, he was still moved by Gong Yingxian's kindness to him. He quickly said, "You have to check it too."
"Let's go." Gong Yingxian strolled out.
Ren Yi followed Gong Yingxian's footsteps, and he really wanted to verify that they were reconciled now, or they were still in a cold war, whether Gong Yingxian was willing to restore the relationship with him as a friend, or did not want to contact him at all. But he dared not ask.
Before the two came to the ambulance, the first responder listened to the internal organs respectively: "Go to the hospital for an examination."
"No need." Gong Yingxian said coldly.
"Yeah." Qiu Yan walked over and looked at him with his arms crossed, "Can you be more professional than the emergency personnel? If they tell you to go to the hospital, go to the hospital and get in the car."
Gong Yingxian originally wanted to resist, but when he saw Song Juhan and He Gu walking towards them from afar, he turned his head and got into the ambulance, closing the door. He didn't want to see these two people in harmony, it would make him and Ren Yi more alienated.
"Captain Ren." He Gu walked in front of Ren Yi, tilted his head and looked at the ambulance, "Is Officer Gong injured? I want to thank him in person."
"No big deal." Ren Yi smiled helplessly, "He's not very good at socializing, so don't worry about it."
Song Juhan shrugged: "If this kind of thing hadn't happened, I still wouldn't believe that he is a policeman."
"Captain Qiu, Captain Ren, thank you." Ren Yi reached out to shake hands with them, and said sincerely, "I also thank the police and firefighters tonight, you saved everyone."
Qiu Yan said with a smile: "Mr. He, we should thank you. Without your professional help, we could not have found all the bombs in such a short period of time."
"Yeah, He Gong, it's really thanks to you, you're so amazing." Ren Yi shook He Gu's hand vigorously, "And Mr. Song, thank you for your high cooperation, the last song is really amazing. It was so ingenious that the bomb squad managed to find the bomb without causing the audience to panic."
Song Juhan looked at He Gu, and the two of them smiled knowingly: "Captain Ren, I have never experienced such a thrilling thing. Fortunately, you are here, so that we and so many viewers can go home safely, thank you."
Ren Yi nodded with a smile.
"Brother!" A voice shouted from afar.
This voice made Ren Yi's nerves tense immediately, he turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Qi Xiao who was waving desperately at him in the distance.
Song Juhan's fans were all barred outside the isolation zone, the security force was insufficient, and firefighters were also helping to maintain order.
Ren Yi wanted to pretend he didn't see it, but Qi Xiao spotted Liu Hui who was standing aside: "Brother Liu Hui, let me go in."
Liu Hui didn't know the secrets between them, so he let Qi Xiao in.
"Brother, what's going on? There are so many police cars and fire trucks here." Qi Xiao ran to Ren Yi, looked at Song Juhan nervously and excitedly, and called out respectfully, "Brother Han, Mr. He."
Song Juhan didn't look at Qi Xiao directly, but just nodded casually.
"Brother, do you know Brother Han?" Qi Xiao looked at Ren Yi with bright eyes.
"Uh, I asked Mr. Song for his autograph."
Qi Xiao said courteously: "Brother Han, I'm a rookie actor, I'm negotiating a management contract with Sister Coco, if it works out, I'll be your employee from now on."
Song Juhan raised his eyebrows: "Oh, really." He looked at Qi Xiao, then at Ren Yi, "Is this your brother?"
Ren Yi nodded uncomfortably: "It's my friend."
Qi Xiao hugged Ren Yi's shoulder very affectionately: "I have known my brother for many years, and I am a goth who takes care of me."
Qiu Yan glanced at Qi Xiao inadvertently, noticing that his tone and demeanor were unusual, a strange look appeared on his face.
Through the window of the ambulance, Gong Yingxian looked at Qi Xiao hugging Ren Yi's shoulders affectionately, and his upper body leaning against Ren Yi's body, his eyes suddenly shone coldly, he patted the partition of the cab, and growled in a low voice :"drive."
The first responder said: "Dr. Gong, let's wait for the captain, there are no other cars."
Gong Yingxian lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he was indescribably sad.
From childhood to adulthood, since he could no longer be more satisfied materially, he seldom had anything he wanted. It was hard for him to find someone who he wanted to own and monopolize, but he already had someone else.
His morality, his self-esteem, and his pride are all preventing him from doing actions that make him despise, even though his heart is full of paranoid, crazy, and desperate thoughts.
In front of Song Juhan, Ren Yi didn't want to sweep Qi Xiao's face, so he took a step forward indiscriminately, avoiding Qi Xiao's hand, and said with a smile: "Qi Xiao is a good actor, if there is cooperation, I hope Teacher Song will take care of you a little bit."
Song Juhan nodded: "No problem, it's a favor for me to be the captain."
Qi Xiao was so excited that his handsome face was full of brilliance: "Thank you Brother Han, thank you Brother Han."
After chatting for a few more words, Song Juhan and He Gu left, and Ren Yi looked at the backs of the two of them walking away side by side, very envious.
Qiu Yan asked him to check his health well, and went to deal with the aftermath.
When only Ren Yi and Qi Xiao were left, Qi Xiao showed a bit of embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Brother, thank you, I really plan to sign with Song Media. One word from Song Juhan turned the world upside down for me."
"I understand, I wish you success."
Qi Xiao sighed: "Actually, I should have guessed the relationship between you and the palace police officer, I... crossed the line, I'm sorry."
Ren Yi took a sneak peek at the ambulance. Since the windows were relatively high, he couldn't see the inside from the outside. He hoped that Gong Yingxian hadn't seen the scene just now. He said, "Qi Xiao, I and Police Officer Gong are not what you think. That kind of relationship, he is straight, I like him wishful thinking, but we still don't want to meet each other in the future."
"Straight?" Qi Xiao didn't believe it, "How is it possible, his reaction just now didn't look straight, he was clearly jealous."
"No, he was harassed by the same sex before, and he couldn't accept it at all. I kept it from him, so..."
Qi Xiao frowned, and said suspiciously: "Okay, but... I think he still cares about you."
Ren Yi felt sour in his heart: "He regards me as a friend."
Qi Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you insist on liking a straight man? Why do you insist on asking for trouble? In fact, I..." He lowered his head desolately, "Forget it, I can think about it, brother, you are a very good person , I hope you can think about it too."
Ren Yi forced a smile: "Okay."
"I'm leaving." Qi Xiao looked at Ren Yi with some reluctance.
"goodbye."
Qi Xiao took a few steps back and smiled: "Maybe one day, you will see me in many places, so many that you don't want to see me."
Ren Yi also smiled: "I hope that day will come."
Qi Xiao waved his hand, holding back his sore nose, turned around and left.
Ren Yi opened the door of the ambulance and got into the car.
Gong Yingxian was sitting in the car, squinting at him with cold eyes.
Ren Yi sat opposite Gong Yingxian, knocked on the partition: "Let's go."
The car started, and Gong Yingxian said expressionlessly, "Isn't he going to the hospital with you?"
Ren Yi thought to himself, he really saw it. Ren Yi didn't answer the question, but asked, "How does your body feel?"
"If I don't see it today, when are you going to keep it from me?"
Ren Yi sighed, and said with difficulty: "Ying Xian, I didn't deliberately hide it from you. My sexuality is a part of me. I don't feel ashamed, but I know that the tolerance in this society is not enough. In order to avoid trouble, I don't go around talking on the horn. I know you can't take it, but I can't change it, and I never want to entertain you. I hope you can... understand that I am still the same person you know , nothing has changed."
"Everything has changed." Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice.
Ren Yi lowered his head helplessly.
Gong Yingxian stared straight at Ren Yi: "As you said, just pretend... nothing happened."
"...Okay." Ren Yi didn't feel a little relieved, because as Gong Yingxian said, "everything has changed". They can't go back to the way they were before. He used to keep wanting more because of the close relationship between the two of them, but now even returning to the original pure friendship has become a luxury.
What he feared the most had come mercilessly, without even having to wait until he self-destructively confessed.
Gong Yingxian was thinking of the name "Qi Xiao" in his heart. He had imagined countless ways to get Qi Xiao to leave Ren Yi, but would he really want to be a despicable villain? Besides, Ren Yi told him clearly that he had no other thoughts about him, what could he gain after all his efforts
The two people have their own thoughts, but they can't understand each other, so they can only be silent.
In the narrow carriage, the distance between them is clearly within reach, but it seems that there is a natural danger and deep moat, and no one dares to take that step.
Falling into the abyss is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no you in the abyss.
