Walk to the corner of the stairs and bump into someone head-on.
The man was tall and dark, with a shaggy beard and a cigarette in his mouth. The stairs were narrow, and neither of them gave in immediately. The man's eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters. He raised his head and glanced at Ning Lan's house, which had just closed the door. His ruthless eyes swept over Sui Yi's body without concealment, and said in a rough voice. : "Lanlan's new boss?"
Sui Yi wanted to go downstairs sideways, but after hearing this person's words, he immediately realized that he was the person who had just talked to Zhao Jinshan on the phone. Thinking of the dirty content on the phone, Sui Yi stood still and glanced at him: "Who are you?"
Xie Tianhao spit out the cigarette butt, squinted his eyes and said, "Then we are all the way."
He smiled but didn't smile, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Sui Yi. Sui Yi stood still, Xie Tianhao was not angry, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "Speaking of which, I liked this kid Ning Lan first, but you all came later."
The word "you" made Sui Yi subconsciously upset, and he said solemnly, "What happened to him?"
Xie Tianhao spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and said viciously: "What can I do with him/mother? That kid is very strong, his mother sold him to me, I touched him twice, and then I would bite my tongue and kill myself. You untied the rope and ran away, and stole the money from my pocket before leaving, are you angry?"
Sui Yi did not agree. When he came out of Ning Lan's house, his chest throbbed faintly, and many pictures he didn't know appeared in his mind - Ning Lan, who had good grades and won awards every year when he was a child, Ning Lan who missed the exam in the heavy rain, carrying on his back Ning Lan, who was looking for a job in the capital, and Ning Lan, who was betrayed by her mother and tied up in a dark room...
Each one is very unfamiliar, but it is reasonable to put it on Ning Lan. He seems soft and bullying, but he is actually stubborn and strong. He never shows weakness to himself, never uses miserable experiences to gain sympathy, and he is best at hiding sadness and vulnerability with a heartless smile. Don't let anyone see it.
"If he hadn't paid the money back, I wouldn't have let him go if I killed him." Xie Tianhao complained, and then asked Sui Yi, "Hey, have you ever fucked him? How much did you pay? Are you happy? what?"
Seeing that Sui Yi was still silent, he crooked his mouth and said with a wicked smile: "If you're tired of playing, transfer it to me cheaply? When a little bitch like him gets into your hands, it should have been played badly by others, right? Why not? ... fuck it!"
Before Xie Tianhao could finish his words, he was slapped in the face by a sudden fist from Sui Yi, his feet slipped, he rolled down the steps twice, and hung his head down on the stairs in embarrassment.
At 8/9 pm, the plane arrived in the capital on time.
Lu Xiaochuan drove to pick up Sui Yi. Sui Yi's face was painted with color, and the mask could not hide the bruises on the corners of his eyebrows. Lu Xiaochuan asked if he wanted to go to the hospital. Sui Yi shook his head and said, "Go back to the dormitory."
At first glance, this state showed nothing, Lu Xiaochuan closed his mouth and started the car.
On the way, Sui Yi asked, "Where's Fang Yu?"
Lu Xiaochuan knew that he wanted to inquire about Ning Lan, and said: "He asked his relatives to check the road monitoring, and there were people watching at the airport, hotel and station. As long as Ning Lan uses his ID card, I will receive it within ten minutes. News." After a pause, he said, "Don't worry too much, he'll be fine."
Sui Yi gave an "um", then asked again after a while, "Where's your brother?"
As the last person to see Ning Lan, Lu Xiaozhou had long been questioned by the crowd to the point that he had no love for him. He said that after Sui Yi left that day, he went into the room and stayed with Ning Lan for a while. Ning Lan sat on the ground and didn't speak. He went downstairs to buy him something to eat. When he came back, the door was locked. After knocking for a long time, no one came to open it. , He thought Ning Lan had gone out, and walked around the door a few times before leaving.
"My brother went back to the United States today. Before leaving, he asked me to find Ning Lan and notify him immediately. I think he is... I really don't know."
Lu Xiaochuan glanced at the tired-looking man in the co-pilot, and felt that it was cruel to say this. How Sui Yi went to find Ning Lan these days without sleep, food or drink, others don't know, but he sees it all.
After Sui Yi heard his words, his expression remained calm. He closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds, the neon flashing outside the window reflected in his eyes, but it didn't bring him any color and vitality at all.
"Thank you," he said lightly.
Back in the dormitory, Sui Yi closed the window of the room, glanced at the furnishings in the room that had not changed at all before he left, walked to Ning Lan's bed and sat down, then slowly lay down.
He put his pillow on Ning Lan's bed, how he wished to see the pillow thrown back to the top bunk when he came back, and heard Ning Lan half-complaining and half-coquettish saying to him, "I have a lot of pillows here, don't put any more pillows Take it down, the bed is too small to fit."
Ning Lan used the pillows sent by fans as pillows, and the dolls were also used as pillows, and placed them on the bed as rare as they were. When Sui Yi slept with him, he thought that these things were in the way, and Ning Lan refused to throw them away. No matter how shoddy dolls were, he could treat them as treasures.
Once, when the two of them were in a hurry, a pillow was squeezed to the ground, and Ning Lan was about to pick it up. Sui Yi's face was darkened, and when he grabbed his waist, it was like a gust of wind and rain. He pushed half of his body to the outside, and hugged him for fear of falling.
Sui Yi pinched his face to let him look at himself, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want me or that shit?"
Ning Lan rarely heard such colloquial words from his mouth, and couldn't stop laughing for a while. Sui Yi was in a hurry, and slammed his legs into the depths fiercely, rubbing the sensitive glands inside each time, Ning Lan stopped laughing, buried in his arms and bit her lips and groaned softly.
When it was over, Sui Yi sat up and was about to take a bath, but Ning Lan still surrounded Sui Yi and refused to let it go. Sui Yi couldn't break his arm and asked him what he was doing, Ning Lan was too tired to open her eyes, she bent her mouth and smiled with two dimples, and said softly, "I want you, as long as you are, you are my big baby. "
Now, he didn't leave any of those treasures, and only left Sui Yi here.
Sui Yi lay down for a while, reached under the pillow, and took out a bank card.
This is what Ning Lan put in his book before he left. For more than a year, he had long forgotten that he still had such a card. When he put it into the ATM, he almost entered the wrong password.
He never calculated how much he gave to Ning Lan, and the balance on the card surprised him. After being surprised, he became depressed and miserable. Ning Lan had obviously been saving for a long time. For this money, he worked hard to get a paycheck. He insisted on going to the stage despite his injuries. The jacket is worn again and again.
In the past, he only knew that Ning Lan was short of money, very short of money. Even though he had given him a lot of money, he still didn't have enough. Sui Yi even suspected whether he was gambling or was addicted to drugs. He secretly observed his every move and took a long time to rule out these two terrifying possibilities.
He also sarcastically asked him if he would sleep and settle the bill once.
At that time, he would never have thought that Ning Lan was saving money to "redeem" himself.
Ning Lan's life has been more difficult than most people since he was born, but he has never given up, and he has never been polluted by the world. In such a harsh environment, he still wants to be free.
Sui Yi checked the card's income and expenditure records, and Ning Lan only deposited the money on the card the day before he returned to China. At that time, he should still have hope, maybe planning to return the card to himself on Valentine's Day, and say lightly: "Now you are not my gold owner." Maybe he will take out the box of chocolates, pretending to be calm. "Then do you want to upgrade from my big baby to be my boyfriend?"
His Ning Lan should be free and easy, just as he looked when he first saw him, even though he was ragged and embarrassed, he still held his head high, and his dark eyes shone with confidence, intelligence, and fearlessness.
Instead of flinching and hesitating like that morning, pulling on the corner of his shirt and begging him to stay after breakfast before leaving, and being so condescendingly and casually "gifted" to others, he still said nothing. suffer.
In the past, he thought Ning Lan was too difficult to understand, didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't know when he would be able to "return his evil and return to the righteous". He blindly used his own standard for "good people" to measure him, but he never thought of approaching him from a different angle. ,to understand.
The shell that Ning Lan used to protect himself looked extremely hard. He was blinded by the filth on the surface, and subconsciously retreated, but he didn't know that the shell would shatter when he knocked on it, and a clean and pure heart was hidden inside.
Sui Yi felt like his throat was being choked by a pair of invisible hands, getting tighter and tighter, so tight that he couldn't breathe. He raised his hand and rubbed his face a few times. When he put his hand down, his fingertips rubbed against the wall and landed on a round and hard object.
He took out what was stuck between the bed and the wall. It was a white plastic water pipe less than a meter long. It was very strange that this thing appeared on the bed. Sui Yi sat up and found that the two ends of the water pipe were tightly wrapped with tape, and there seemed to be something inside.
One of them had already been cut into a neat incision. Sui Yi reached in and slowly pulled out a slender cloth bag.
Inside is a violin bow.
Sui Yi has been learning the piano for more than ten years, and has handled countless bows. This one can only be regarded as a relatively common one, common hemp wood, common sanding, common paint, and the only hand-held part that has room to play is also common snake skin plus The silver tangled thread is a bit old-fashioned.
But when he thought about who planned to give it to him, his heart couldn't help trembling, and even his hands were shaking. The bow was new, and had not been battered with rosin, so it didn't feel sticky to the hand. The horsehair hanging on the side indicated that someone had opened it more than once, and clumsily broke two horsehairs.
His fingers slid to the root of the bow, and suddenly he felt an uneven depression. His heart stopped beating for no reason, and he turned the bow around. He saw a few words engraved on the position he was holding. But each stroke is deeply engraved, if this is not a piece of wood but a piece of paper, it is about the degree of strength that penetrates the back of the paper.
Sui Yi hurriedly stood up, put the bow on the table, turned on the lamp and looked carefully, and stroked the three words one by one with his thumb.
I love you.
Sui Yi's mind was blank for a few seconds, and then he remembered the day when he was sulking because he didn't receive Ning Lan's birthday present, what kind of mood Ning Lan was in when he hid the bow, put on sexy underwear and gave it to himself Give it to him, and when he saw him regaining his music, what kind of mood did he secretly carve these three words
Ning Lan put all the love that she dared not to express in every look, hug, and kiss, and left the sincerity that she dared not hold here, knife by knife, too deep to be wiped out. .
What the hell happened to him? Why do you think Ning Lan is difficult to understand and that Ning Lan is a liar who can only lie
In the end, only the sentence "I don't like you" is a big lie, and that is the only bit of self-esteem he has left after being harshly and trampled in every way. Will reveal the softest inside, dedicate myself to him without reservation.
But he didn't, because he was stingy, because of ignorance and prejudice, because of his childish arrogance, and he just missed a hot heart.
Sui Yi covered his face with his hands and slowly lay down on the table.
In the gaps between his fingers, his eyelashes were trembling, and he desperately suppressed the rapid and churning of his panting. He took a few deep breaths, so that the end of his red eyes only got a little wetness, and the blue veins on the side of his neck gradually disappeared. , until it disappears.
He stood up, opened the piano case, picked up the bow on the table, and put it in carefully.
Take it with you, Ning Lan might come back sooner.
