When Xie Qingcheng returned to Moyu Lane, Aunt Li was coming out of the house to get stuff—she dried a bamboo basket of dried tangerine peels in the yard, and soaked some hot water to drink before going to bed every night.
Seeing Xie Qingcheng appearing in front of Yuxiang in such a state of despair, Li Miaoqing was taken aback and said quickly, "Xiao Xie? What's wrong with you?"
Xie Qing was confused, but instinctively didn't want her to see her embarrassed appearance at the moment.
But Li Miaoqing stepped forward and looked at him nervously and concernedly.
She was startled.
Her family's Xiao Xie's clothes were all wrinkled, four buttons on the neckline were torn off, and they couldn't be fastened at all. There were dazzling hickeys on the neck, and the lips were bitten and still stained with blood.
What frightened her even more were Xie Qingcheng's eyes.
Xie Qingcheng's eyes have always been cold and sharp, but at this moment it seems like a damaged camera, unable to focus for a long time, and the eye sockets of the pair of peach blossom eyes are even slightly wet and red, as if he had cried.
Li Miaoqing's heart skipped a beat. When she was young, she was the one who "touched" and beat her in Fengyue. Seeing this scene, she couldn't understand what happened
She trembled: "Xiao Xie, you... you... "
Xie Qing said: "Aunt Li, I'm fine, I just fell on the road... You should rest early, I want to go home."
The most absurd thing about young people is that they think they can hide from their elders who are over half a hundred years old.
Aunt Li's eyes widened and her face turned pale: "You are..."
She wanted to ask, but before those trembling words reached her lips, they stopped immediately.
She knew how strong Xie Qingcheng was, and how much he took the face of his uncles seriously.
She didn't dare to ask him any more, but she couldn't bear to let go of him. The two stood in the small courtyard for a while, Li Miaoqing couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly reached out and hugged him.
Many, many years ago, she had a boyfriend. After the man found out that she used to be a prostitute, he not only did not want to date her anymore, but also ignored her good behavior at the time, brutally raped her, and then scolded her when he was done. A bitch to sell. At that time, she came to the door of the police station as if she had lost her soul, and met Zhou Muying.
At that time, Zhou Muying looked at her back and forth several times, but didn't say anything, just reached out and hugged her.
She now hugs Xie Qingcheng. She doesn't know what happened to him, but she still remembers the comfort that silent hugs can bring.
She kept patting him on the back and crying: "Dear, Xiao Xie, it's alright, it's alright..."
Xie Qingcheng said hoarsely: "...I want to go home..."
"… "
"Aunt Li, I want to go home..."
Li Miaoqing wiped away her tears, not knowing how to comfort him, but finally let him go and watched him wearily enter the house with a worried look.
That night, Li Miaoqing sat in her house, listening to the movements next door, and carefully recalled many things that happened before - she was not stupid, Xie Qingcheng's clothes buttons, and the hickey on the side of his neck, the mouth The bloodstains... are definitely not left by a female "sex".
She asked for a long time, and the shadow of a person gradually appeared in her head.
That was a young man. If he didn't go home on New Year's Eve, he had to rely on Xie Qingcheng's side. The young man seemed very well-behaved at the long table banquet at that time. All the neighbors were eager to introduce him to him. He glanced at Xie Qingcheng as if absently.
Later, when Li Rouqiu came back, the young man stopped eating and followed Xie Qingcheng's door, for fear of what might happen inside.
That night, the boy slept at Xie Qingcheng's house.
It was only then that Li Miaoqing realized that the quarrel and smashing sound she heard on New Year's Eve was not the sound of the movie they were talking about later.
That night, she could vaguely hear the creaking of the bed and the sound of the wall being slammed. She didn't think much about it at the time, and even thought it was a dream. Now, it seems that it was not her hallucination at all.
And the next morning, she saw Xie Qingcheng and the young man tugging at the door of the house, and when she saw her coming, the young man suddenly took off his scarf, blocking Xie Qingcheng's neck...
Li Miaoqing was stunned, and the teacup in her hand fell absentmindedly and smashed to pieces on the ground.
No wonder she wanted to give Xie Qingcheng another blind date. Xie Qingcheng didn't even bother to go, and kept pushing back. It turned out that he and the child—
absurd... this is absurd...
There was never any cry from the next door, Xie Qingcheng was a very strong man, and he would not cry easily. But Li Miaoqing couldn't hold it anymore, she raised her hand, covered her mouth with force, let out an uncontrollable sob, and tears welled up in her eyes.
How can Xiao Xie be so ignorant... He is a rich second generation who is not even twenty years old. At first glance, he looks like a playboy. How can a boy like that be so sincere to people, how can he take care of people? He is... What is he in a daze! To be entangled with a boy like that! !
Li Miaoqing closed her eyes, tears kept falling.
And separated by a wall, Xie Qingcheng was lying on the bed with clothes on. He had never started with He Yu, so there was no breakup. Who knows that this kind of separation is not a breakup, and it will hurt more than the real separation of a couple.
He calmly suppressed his emotions and raised his hand to turn on the bedside lamp.
It is a lamp that imitates the light and shadow of the seabed, and there will be hazy jellyfish projecting in the light.
Xie Qingcheng was in this light, lying alone all night, his mobile phone beside his pillow was always on, and the monitoring data of He Yu's emotional bracelet was on it.
He himself had collapsed, but he still remembered to look at He Yu's data, so that He Yu's spirit would not be able to support it, and he would continue to lose control and slide into a runaway.
Fortunately not.
The number on the bracelet went red for a while, but it still came down. Xie Qingcheng knew that he probably took the "medicine", but he couldn't help him this time... This was a hurdle that He Yu had to overcome by himself, and he could only watch him cross it when no one was there.
The seabed was lonely all night, and the orange-red monitoring light flashed all night.
Xie Qingcheng lay on the bed so broken, opened his eyes, as if he had thought a lot, and seemed to think about nothing.
until the day.
Li Miaoqing got up early in the morning and put an ice pack on her red and swollen eyes.
She thought about it, she didn't ask Xie Qingcheng and Ren Dong, it was the worst thing to sprinkle salt on people's wounds. What she should do now is take care of him.
Xie Qingcheng didn't like to tell people his thoughts when he was a child. Every time he encountered something, he closed the door and digested it by himself. Maybe it was more bitter and digested, and the appetite was not very good.
When he lost his appetite, he only had the chicken soup dumplings cooked by Li Miaoqing, or the simple homemade Shanghai vegetable pickled rice, which he could barely eat.
Li Miaoqing slung a vegetable basket and prepared to catch the first batch to go to the vegetable market to buy wonton wrappers, minced meat, and the freshest Shanghai greens.
Finally, she went around the small vegetable garden in the plastic foam box in front of Uncle Liu's house, and when she walked to the alley, she saw that - that brazen playboy who didn't know what to do with Xie Qingcheng, a shameless little bastard , just sitting on the side of the curb outside the alley, hugging his knees, his eyes were red.
Seeing someone coming out of the alley, He Yu immediately got up, leaned forward, and swayed slightly, but seeing that the person was not Xie Qingcheng, his expression quickly became tired again, and he was as dizzy as a frosted eggplant.
This time, Li Miaoqing's conjecture was confirmed.
Out of anger, she strode forward, picked up a vegetable basket and smashed it on the eggplant head. At 5:30 in the morning, the "women" in floral pajamas beat the boy who had just woken up from a hangover without any scruples. . She beat and scolded: "You still have the face to come here? You still have the face to come!"
He Yu was stunned, he slapped the tip of his red nose, and the aunt hit him, only to ask: "Auntie, you... how do you know... Could it be that he... he told you?!"
Li Miaoqing was so angry that she almost had high blood pressure.
Look what he has to say!
It's really self-defeating! She was all right! It's this beast who engages in "sex" love!
She threw the vegetable basket, pointed at He Yu's nose, and scolded: "I still need him to tell me? I saw everything he came back yesterday, you think I can't guess? When your cub was not born, mother I'm just messing around in the "chaotic" ballroom, I can't guess what you are "milk" or "milk"? Ah? You tell yourself what you did last night! You still have the face to come to him!"
She scolded and pushed He Yu heavily: "What kind of son of a bitch are you? Ah? You still want to play with him at his age, and then force him to dump him again, showing that you are very capable, Go out and brag with your gang of friends, right?"
After all, Li Miaoqing is a singing and dancing "prostitute", and it is completely another drama.
The more she scolded, the more sad she became. She raised her slippery feet and kicked He Yu: "what are you playing? Is he the one you should play with? Provoking him! His mother still has a face! How dare you come to him!!"
He Yu Cong quickly knew what the situation was on Li Miaoqing's side.
He was beaten by her silently, and the woman who beat and kicked was really merciless, and it was easy to slow down. She spat out of her mouth the head that she had accidentally eaten, which was floating in front of her, and then got angry. He stared at him breathlessly.
"You go... you go quickly!"
He Yu didn't say anything until this time, he said with red eyes: "Auntie, I just want to ask how he is now... I was yesterday... I was yesterday... "
"It's not dead!" Li Miaoqing interrupted him with a shrill anger, "He's not dead! You still have the face to mention what happened yesterday, do you want me to drag you to the police station, ah?!"
"..." He Yu knew that she had misunderstood.
Even he didn't want to object.
If he hadn't seen the tears in Xie Qingcheng's eyes yesterday, would he have done anything worse than a beast when he was drowsy and sad? -he does not know.
Moreover, he also remembered that he had indeed done something in the clubhouse that Li Miaoqing said was inferior to a beast. Although nothing like this happened yesterday, what qualifications does he have to refute
"Why are you standing still? Leave me immediately! If you don't leave, he won't call the police, I'm going to call the police and I'll tell you! Brat... The one who brought you home for New Year's Eve was really a farmer and a snake... You... you... Mother is used to seeing playboys like you little bastards." Li Miaoqing became more and more angry, there were few people on the road, almost no one passed by, she scolded more recklessly, she pointed to He Yu and scolded, "Mother - I'm used to seeing you. These dudes! You know how to play with people's hearts!"
"Auntie, I didn't want to play with him..."
"You still have the face to say that you didn't play? ... ! You said, you were sitting at the entrance of our alley on New Year's Eve, did you have motives and paid attention, and deliberately prevented him from going down the steps, and had to bring you back?"
"..." He Yu's lips trembled, but he couldn't argue, "Yes..."
Li Miaoqing was even more angry.
"Have you seen how good-looking he is, you can't let it go, and you have long wanted to chase him to provoke him, entangle him, and 'force' him and you?"
He Yu said softly, "...Yes."
Li Miaoqing was trembling: "Then you said—that night, on New Year's Eve, did you take advantage of Xiao Xie's ex-wife's return, and he felt uncomfortable, you were on New Year's night... You... You seduced him, you coaxed him... You... you took advantage of the danger and robbed him, you coaxed him to lose it to you that night, and you bullied him for a whole night, didn't you!"
He Yu's lips trembled, but he couldn't argue: "... yes... yes... "
"Nothing is!" Li Miaoqing slapped his ear angrily, "Beast! Men Qing is not as bastard as you! Open your eyes and see! He is a man! He is your elder! If you attack him, do you still want it? Face! Ah? You're still not an idiot!!"
He Yu didn't want to explain anything.
He just said hoarsely: "I... do I want to see him again...? Is he, is he still there?"
"What are you looking at? He doesn't have you the most! He's very bad if he can't see you!" Li Miaoqing said sternly, "Go back to me now, get out of the way! I'm his godmother! I'll take care of him, by Don't you continue to sway him here when he is summoned, and start 'chaos' and end up playing and humiliating! What? After the humiliation, I regret it again. I haven't played enough, so are you chasing it again?!"
He Yu was really wronged to the extreme.
Did he ever abandon Xie Qing at the beginning of the "chaos"
How dare you come and leave when Xie Qing is summoned
But Li Miaoqing was so angry that both eyes were spitting fire. He Yu didn't know how to appease her emotions and explain all this to her.
As a matter of fact, his own heart was broken, and only relying on that little desire to protect Xie Qingcheng, he insisted on doing what Xie Qingcheng asked him to do when he was about to leave - calm himself and not be "manipulated" by the disease.
It was only by these words that he could persevere, standing in front of Li Miaoqing like a normal person.
Li Miaoqing raised her eyebrows angrily, and plucked into her temples: "Why don't you fucking leave?"
He Yu opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He was silent for a while, and said to Li Miaoqing with red eyes: "Auntie...then you...take care of him...if...if he needs me, if he needs anything, you can contact me, ? I'll give you my number..."
He doesn't care what Li Miaoqing's reaction is, this is his last bottom line.
He gave her his number, turned his head, and left very tired and lonely.
