"What, what, are you listening to me?"

Ye Qin went to pull his other hand, noticed something strange, and immediately shifted his attention. He leaned over to grab his back regardless, touched the thick gauze, and quickly restrained his strength: "What's wrong with your hand? The injury from last time Isn't it ready?"

Cheng Feichi retracted his arms and dodged lightly.

Ye Qin was very dissatisfied with his continuous indifference and resistance, and couldn't help being a little annoyed: "What's wrong with you, why are you beating me and scolding me, why don't you let me touch it, why are you talking about breaking up?"

In his eyes, the word "breakup" can be equated with anger, which is of the same nature as him blocking his phone number and not replying to WeChat. Using this method to vent his dissatisfaction is equivalent to saying "in the future Stop doing that."

But Cheng Feichi's "breakup" here obviously didn't have so many detours. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Just treat it as you who dumped me."

Ye Qin was stunned for a while and then remembered that at the clubhouse that night, he seemed to have said that he would get rid of Cheng Feichi after the Spring Festival.

"That's just casual talk," Ye Qin became even more irritable, he was so angry that Cheng Feichi listened to what he shouldn't have listened to, and he still remembered it, "Didn't I explain it to you on WeChat, you really take it to heart?"

He expected Cheng Feichi to say "no", expecting to hear the rebuttal of "I'm not so stingy", but no, Cheng Feichi didn't respond to his words at all, and used silence instead of answering.

Ye Qin was most afraid of his calm appearance of keeping silent and rejecting others thousands of miles away. When he realized that his state was completely opposite to his, he was suddenly confused, and raised his hand in embarrassment and pushed him: "What the hell are you going to do?"

Cheng Feichi took two steps back and stood still on the spot, not even an inch forward. Still repeating those three words: "Break up."

Yeqin understood, he was telling the truth. This meeting was also to make it clear in person, from the act of opening the door and handing over the key first, he personally drew a line between the two of them, not crossing it, and not allowing himself to touch it again.

What a responsible person, a matter that can be resolved with a text message and a phone call, he still took time out of his busy schedule to come to the end in person, is this called a good beginning and a good end

The back molars clenched unconsciously, all the expectation turned into anger. Ye Qin only felt that he had been tricked, his cheeks were burning hot, his mind was in a mess, and the remaining bit of patience and reason disappeared, and he took off the ring on the ring finger of his left hand forcefully: "Then is this Want to take it back?"

Cheng Feichi turned his gaze, glanced at the ring he was holding up, and said, "It's already given to you, and it's up to you to dispose of it."

His calmness at this moment only made Yeqin even more angry. Without further ado, Ye Qin threw the ring heavily on him, but Cheng Feichi didn't pick it up, allowing the ring to fall to the ground and bounce high, making a series of ear-piercing noises, and finally rolled away somewhere.

"If you want to break up, you can take it away." Ye Qin looked at Cheng Feichi with his neck straightened, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to compete with him more cruelly, "I don't care about your broken things."

With that said, he retreated into the house and slammed the door.

Ye Qin was so angry that he couldn't calm down after sitting on the sofa for a long time.

The kettle in the kitchen automatically cut off the power with a click, and the hot water was ready. He looked at the room he had just cleaned and the teacups placed side by side on the table, and he was even more furious.

When you are angry, you are wronged. So many things happened before, and the two of you were at most awkward for a few days. Didn't you just joke a few words this time? Why would Cheng Feichi break up to scare him

Although Cheng Feichi's words and actions were prudent and reliable, Ye Qin still felt that he was scaring himself by breaking up, and wanted him to be more obedient in the future and stop losing his temper.

Thinking about it, how could we really want to break up? He was so kind to me, he also said that he would not lie to me, and that he would go to the same university as me.

He won't lie to me.

Ye Qin gave himself a reassurance, and then inevitably entered the reflection process, carefully recalling what he had done, and Cheng Feichi was so angry that he even said the word "break up".

In front of his friends, he condescendingly expressed his disdain for Cheng Feichi and threw away the ring he gave him. Although he picked it up later, Cheng Feichi must have felt uncomfortable when he heard it at the door.

Ye Qin is used to being alone, and it is rare for him to put himself in front of others. He felt that this matter should be placed on him, and he should be even angrier. He was so angry that he blocked Cheng Feichi's phone for a week, and asked him to say sorry himself, which would not happen a hundred times. For nothing, and then asked him to kneel on one knee, begging himself to put the ring back on.

Besides, the ring was earned by Cheng Feichi's hard work, and the injury on his hand hasn't healed yet.

Feeling weak, Ye Qin poured himself a cup of hot water, but no one reminded him, he scalded his tongue, panting, and ran to the room to find the medicine box.

I couldn't find the medicine box, so I saw the glass jars on the table first.

It was his birthday present to Cheng Feichi. Although it took some time to stack the stars, it was not worth much in his eyes. When he moved here to live temporarily, this jar took up a lot of space in Cheng Feichi's little luggage, and Ye Qin still didn't understand the meaning of bringing this thing with him.

Later, after a month of getting along day and night, he slowly realized that Cheng Feichi really cared about this gift. Every time he cleaned the house, he would polish the glass jar so that the sunlight would reflect brilliant light on it.

Once Ye Qin was lying on the bed watching him wipe the pots, and said disgustedly: "This shit is too ugly in shape, and the small shop in front of the school is really not good. Last time I saw a sapphire one in the gift shop in Times Square. The star that I brought with me is beautiful, and I bought it and replaced it, and it looks good in the house.”

What was Cheng Feichi's reaction

He shook his head, smiled and said, "I want this."

Now, in Yeqin's eyes, this cheap and tattered glass jar is still shining, but there is only one star left in it, and the others have been disassembled and stacked neatly on the corner of the table.

Ye Qin stared blankly, and hesitated for a moment when he stretched out his hand. When I took the pile of papers in my hand, I realized that the stars that once looked like a big bunch turned out to be so few and so light.

He flipped through them one by one, and there was the same sentence written on them - can you be my boyfriend

They were all written by him himself. When he was writing, he was either wasting his time in class or dozing off at home. Not a single sentence was out of his mind. But later, Cheng Feichi found him with one of them, stuffed it back into his palm with preciousness, and said to him, "Okay."

Yeqin knew what was written on the unopened one that remained in the jar.

His hands were weak for no reason, and he couldn't even hold the jar stably. He was trembling, and saw that the corner of the star on the bottom of the bottle was stained with a strange color. He turned on the light and poured it out. It was dark red and couldn't be picked off.

His pupils tightened suddenly, his heart seemed to be clenched, Ye Qin put down his things, turned his head and ran to the living room.

The voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on in response to his violent movements, but the outside was quieter than the inside. Except for the closed corridor safety windows and the LCD screen showing that the elevator stopped on the first floor, there was nothing else.

Ye Qin panicked, and chased him out without closing the door.

A minute ago, he wasn't in a hurry. He thought that Cheng Feichi would stand at the door waiting for him to calm down like before. He thought that as soon as the door opened, he would be able to throw himself into that warm embrace and hold him for as long as he wanted, and stay as long as he wanted.

While waiting for the elevator to descend, he still had hope. He thought that Cheng Feichi must not have gone far. He had waited for two hours in the rain before, even after being kicked out by him. There was no reason why he couldn't wait more than ten minutes.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Ye Qin rushed out like an arrow from the string, and ran along the path towards the entrance of the community.

On winter nights, no one was wandering downstairs, and there were only a few solitary street lamps left on the whole road, casting a dark and dead light on the ground.

Even so, Ye Qin still felt that Cheng Feichi was in front, and shouted his name loudly, while running, he touched the mobile phone in his pocket, wanting to call Cheng Feichi to tell him not to leave, to wait for him.

I was looking at my phone and didn't pay attention to my feet. I walked too fast. My left foot stepped on the shoelace of my right foot. I leaned forward and fell to the ground suddenly. My knees and palms hit the concrete road hard, and I flew out The mobile phone made a dull sound at the same time.

The pain rushed from the limbs to the forehead, and Ye Qin, who was afraid of pain, almost burst into tears immediately. He gritted his teeth and stood up, wiping away the tears that were about to overflow his eyes with the back of his hand, for fear of being blocked from his sight.

He raised his head and shouted to the front: "Cheng Feichi, stop!"

The only response to him was the whistling wind.

He dragged his numb legs and limped forward, his lips were turned white by the cold wind, and he was still trembling with his breathing.

"Brother..." Ye Qin called into the air, fearing that Cheng Feichi wouldn't hear him, he raised the volume and called again, "Where are you, brother."

His voice seemed to contain gravel, intermittent and hoarse, choked to the point where he couldn't say anything else.

And the person who helped him tie his shoelaces and said "I'm here" with a smile never turned back to look at him again.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Feng walked out of the elevator, looked up and saw a black shadow at the door, and was so frightened that he almost threw his things on the ground.

When he got closer, he found that Ye Qin was squatting there, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah Qin, you don't have to do this for Xueba's birthday, isn't it a surprise or a fright?"

He moved the things in one hand to the other, and helped Yeqin: "Quickly open the door, let's go in first."

Ye Qin stayed still for a long time before saying, "I didn't bring the key."

"...I'll go." Zhou Feng was speechless, so he could only put down the things on his hands, and squatted down with him, "Does Xueba have the key? I'll be a good man to the end, and I'll send you two to the bridal chamber before leaving."

After squatting for a while, seeing that Ye Qin didn't talk to him, and didn't even mean to thank him for running around at night to help him buy things, he suddenly felt bored, and looked at the two paper bags on the ground: "This cake is a fresh cake!" I made it, I saw the master stuffed it full of fruits and chocolates... The ring was bought in a shopping mall in the east of the city, but the one in Times Square is out of stock, can you believe it? Maybe it’s because of Valentine’s Day the day after tomorrow, so I was so scared that I hurriedly gave it to you. Yuanyuan also... why are you going?"

Ye Qin didn't know what to think of, so he stood up suddenly, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and bowed down to look for something in the corridor. Zhou Feng came up to help him, and asked him what he was looking for, but he didn't say anything, he just looked for it by himself.

Fortunately, the floor of the corridor was smooth, and he found the ring in the corner by the window. Ye Qin put it in his hand and blew on it, and then went to get the newly bought ring.

"Huh? Is this ring that ring? Hasn't it been thrown away?"

Ye Qin ignored Zhou Feng's question, took out the small box from the bag on the ground, and opened it carefully. Inside was a ring of the same style, a wide version, also a diamond.

Yeqin wanted to put his ring and the newly bought one together, but the bayonet of the ring box was too small to put two side by side, he tried to force it several times but failed.

Zhou Feng couldn't stand it: "Oh, this is a box for a ring. If you want to put it away, find your box."

Ye Qin thought for a while and said, "I can't find it."

The box of the ring that Cheng Feichi gave him was thrown away as trash the next day. After putting on this ring, he didn't think about taking it off again. He also thought about waiting for the zero o'clock to take out the newly bought ring of the same style. After wearing it, Cheng Feichi would definitely not be willing to take it off again.

It's like he thought Cheng Feichi would watch over him forever, as long as he turned around, he could see him.

Yeqin finally gave up, he closed the ring box, put it back into the paper bag, clenched his fist tightly with his left hand, and pinched his own ring in the palm of his hand, together with the blood-stained star.

On the first day of school, the weather in the capital showed a trend of warming up. Standing on the playground, the wind blowing in front of me also had a hint of warmth.

As soon as the opening ceremony was over, Ye Qin went to the office to find the head teacher of Class 1 of Senior Three.

"Cheng Feichi? His student status has been moved away. I don't know where he is going. It's not C University anymore."

Ye Qin asked uncertainly: "C University?"

"Yes." The teacher also looked puzzled, "University A sent him an invitation and he refused to go. If he insisted on going to a university C, he wouldn't listen to any persuasion. The application form is all written, and I still have a copy here." Well, you have to take it out and destroy it quickly."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer and searched with his head down. While searching, he said: "He has such good grades and a beautiful resume. Even if he went to the best major of C University, it would be a waste. I don't know what he thought... Fortunately, I figured it out later. Well, it should be someone from the family who came forward."

Coming out of the office with the discarded application form, the cell phone in Yeqin's pocket rang. He glanced at an unfamiliar number with no name saved and picked it up.

The person on the phone told him that he had found out that Cheng Feichi had just applied for a passport and a visa to study in the United States, and the flight was today. Ye Qin didn't even bother to look, and ran away.

He didn't drive today, he took a taxi at the gate of the school, and urged the driver to go faster and faster, almost pissing off the bad-tempered uncle driver.

When I arrived at the airport, I realized that I didn't know the flight number, so I called the private detective again, and the other said: "I have flown away this morning, and the whereabouts after leaving the country are beyond our reach here."

Ye Qin's eyes that were shining just now dimmed instantly. He stood for a while in the crowded airport hall, and when he heard the person on the other end of the phone talking about the checkout, he regained his composure and asked the other party for the card number.

The online bank accounted for the money quickly, and the customer was happy to see the customer, and sent a text message saying that he would give away some half-checked news for free.

Ye Qin read the message back and forth three times, and finally focused on the sentence "Cheng Feichi's biological father or someone else", looked at it, and burst into a sudden laugh.

Unfolding the piece of paper that he had been holding in his hand, his eyes slid directly down and landed on the applicant column. Cheng Feichi's signature was horizontal and vertical, vigorous and powerful, which showed how determined he was at that time, even if the applicant was to apply for someone with him Even if the result of doing so is that all efforts will be in vain, even if the school's own level is far from that of the school, he has no hesitation at all.

Because he promised a person that he would go to the same university as him.

There was a lot of voices in my ears, and less than 20 meters ahead was the entry security checkpoint.

Every minute and every second, people leave this land, some say goodbye briefly, some have an undecided return date, some cry reluctantly, and some smile and bless. Among the crowd who kept coming and going, Ye Qin was the only one who didn't fit in, and couldn't even put on a normal expression to blend in.

The black and white characters on the paper gradually became unclear before the eyes, and a bean-sized tear fell on the paper, bleeding the ink, and blurring the three dots of water in the word "池" into a blurred and cohesive piece.

Yes, his name is Fei Chi, and he shouldn't be trapped here, by his side.

But the talent had just left, and he had already begun to miss it.

Ye Qin said "I'm sorry" silently in his heart over and over again. He wanted to be as kind and open-minded as him, calm and calm, and smiled like an adult and wished him a bright future. But this longing pierced his heart and gnawed his bones, as if it had penetrated into the deepest part of his bone marrow. The words "Cheng Feichi" slid across his mind, causing him to be in so much pain that he couldn't help it.

Everyone knows that the young master of the Ye family cherishes face the most, and will never bow down to others no matter when and where. Afraid of being seen, he covered his face with paper and covered his eyes with his hands, but tears still overflowed from between his fingers, slipped into his cuffs along the back of his hands, and soon froze into ice, no matter how warm the tears Can't melt it.
