This year's spring came very early, and with the melting of ice and snow, in addition to the sprouting of green grass and the recovery of all things, there was also the crisis that the Ye family paper could not contain the fire.
After school started, Yeqin seldom went out to play, and stayed at home most of the time outside of school, so he had more opportunities to get along with his family.
The first thing I discovered was that more and more people came to visit the house. At most, I could hear knocks on the door five or six times a day.
Once the noise made him unable to sleep, he ran downstairs and saw a row of men in black suits and ties standing in the living room, Luo Qiuling talked to them anxiously, saw Ye Qin coming down, and waved to him : "Go to bed and lock the door."
Later, I don't know when, I was reduced to the point where I didn't dare to open the door when I heard the knock on the door. Every day before school, Luo Qiuling would ask his aunt to visit outside, and told him not to come back for dinner at noon and evening, and a car would pick him up for self-study next night.
At that time, Ye Qin only thought that Ye Jinxiang had provoked someone. After all, the predecessor of the Ye family company was the Luo family, a well-known family of Chinese herbal medicine in the capital. It has been passed down for a hundred years and has a solid foundation. It can't keep up with the needs of the times, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it won't go bankrupt. At worst, he usually spends less money.
Besides, this is something that Ye Jinxiang should consider. Ye Qin still puts more energy on his studies. He wanted to be admitted to C University, and when Cheng Feichi came back, he would at least have a legitimate topic to chat with.
Even if Ye Qin knew that Cheng Feichi probably didn't want to see him anymore, the day of breaking up was the last time he had planned.
"You stinky bastard just needs to be cleaned up. You should go to my house to listen to the education of old Sun Ai." Sun Yiran heard that Cheng Feichi had gone abroad, and thought it was Ye Qin's anger. If you dare to say something bad about you in front of you, what would you think if you heard what Cheng Feichi said?"
Yeqin had already thought about these things. And he allowed himself to think deeply, and gradually realized that apart from his actions, what was even more excessive was his motives. Under such a premise that the purpose was not pure, all actions became malicious, even if it was a sweet and beautiful memory, in the end It also becomes a knife that stabs at the heart.
So to Cheng Feichi, those words were not as innocuous as he thought, but a fatal blow.
Sun Yiran saw that his eyes were out of focus and he looked helpless, and couldn't bear to continue to blame him: "Oh, don't be so lost, I think back when my sister and I chased him but failed to catch up, I felt that the sky was going to collapse. I am the worst in the whole world. You have at least succeeded in chasing after him, hey, how does it feel to fall in love with a school girl?"
Knowing that Sun Yiran was trying to comfort him, Ye Qin couldn't laugh, he just pulled the corners of his mouth, which was uglier than crying.
Sun Yiran covered her eyes and shouted "Where is the evildoer", then sighed: "I see that you care about him very much, then why do you say that kind of thing, are you stupid? It's okay, when he comes back, say goodbye Sorry, you can't be a couple, but you can still be friends."
But he just wanted to continue being a couple with him.
Ye Qin laughed at himself as this thought floated through his mind.
Cheng Feichi probably doesn't even want to be friends with him. The two of them were not on the same road in the first place, and now they don't even have the blood relationship that they thought they existed.
In the past, Ye Qin boasted that he was optimistic, but after Cheng Feichi left, he was only full of sadness.
He goes to school, eats, and sleeps every day, and he seems to be the same as usual. Only those who are very close to him can detect a little difference from before.
Time entered April, Zhou Feng asked him to go to Province Y to play, in the euphemistic name of relaxing before the exam. Ye Qin didn't want to go, reasoning that it was located on a high plateau and the climate was cold. Zhou Feng said that Liao Yifang would also go, but there were only two people who were bored. Ye Qin thought about it and agreed, he was worried that the monitor would be bullied.
Unexpectedly, before leaving, something that shocked the whole school happened.
The relationship between Zhou Feng and Liao Yifang was discovered by the teacher somehow, and the Academic Affairs Office called the parents of both parties to the school that day. The office door was closed for a full two hours. When Ye Qin heard the news and rushed over, he was already astigmatized, and the mobile phones of the two parties could not be reached.
A few days later, Zhou Feng called Ye Qin like a thief, and said in a low voice, "Give me the contact information of your private detective, Aqin."
Ye Qin thought he was going to do something bad, and asked him why he wanted this. Zhou Feng on the other end of the phone was perplexed for a long time, and told the truth: "Look for Yuanyuan."
From his mouth, Ye Qin learned that the squad leader didn't come to school since that day not because he was locked up at home and couldn't get out, but because he transferred to another school and left No. 6 Middle School.
Ye Qin felt that shaking hands and leaving was not something Liao Yifang would do, and asked, "What happened that day?"
Zhou Feng took several deep breaths on the phone, and after he was fully prepared, he said, "He took all the responsibility on his shoulders in front of the whole room, saying that he seduced... seduced me."
Knowing the situation of Zhou Feng's family, Ye Qin felt a little bit in his heart when he heard this, and then asked, "Do they all believe it?"
"No." Zhou Feng said, "I said to death that the two of us are just good buddies, and we don't have the 'improper relationship' they talk about."
This may sound cold, but it was indeed the best choice under the circumstances.
However, since the school dared to invite the parents, especially the background of the Zhou family, the status and status of any one who came out would be of great importance. It can be seen that this matter must be prepared, and it cannot be easily exposed.
"Maybe it's my father's fault. He's always thinking about how to punish me so that I can learn a lesson." At this moment, Zhou Feng faded away from his usual cynicism, and there was no lack of calm analysis in his anger, "I just didn't expect him to take Yuanyuan. Surgery. Yuanyuan must be very sad, I want to find him and say sorry to him."
Zhou Feng's belated regret somewhat made Ye Qin feel the same way. But this time, he no longer shaves his head and picks his head. He thinks rationally about the feasibility of the investigation by private investigators, and thinks that it is best not to act rashly at this time. The things that private investigators can investigate may be known earlier with the ability of the old man of the Zhou family. , I am busy looking for someone now, maybe I will startle the snake, which is even more detrimental to the monitor.
Zhou Feng thought for a moment, agreed with his opinion, and decided to give up this idea for the time being. Before hanging up the phone, he said with a little regret: "Y can't be omitted, let's make an appointment again when we have a chance."
For some reason, Ye Qin vaguely felt that this "later" would not come in a short time.
There are always such a group of young people who feel that they must let the whole world revolve around them in order to show their bravery and fearlessness. When encountering such and such unsatisfactory things, you will know that what makes up your life is not chic and happy, but helplessness.
The atmosphere at home has been tense recently, and Luo Qiuling has been too busy running around to raise money, so she hasn't sat down to have a good meal for several days. Yesterday, he mentioned the matter of studying abroad again, but Ye Qin refused.
He didn't want to leave home when the spring breeze was good, and now that the family is in trouble, he can't leave.
Besides, he had to wait for that person to come back.
In the evening, Ye Qin went to the Jiayuan Community to organize the things left there and put them in his bag. Luo Qiuling said that the house would be sold soon. Before leaving, Ye Qin took one last look at the small apartment full of traces of the two living together, hugged the cleanly polished glass jar, and gently closed the door .
When he got home, he saw the courtyard door was wide open, and people in overalls were carrying the contents outside, including those precious antiques that Ye Jinxiang carefully collected.
From Luo Qiuling who was sitting in the room wiping tears, Ye Qin finally knew that their company was far more than a broken capital chain. Ye Jinxiang started trading stocks, buying futures, and investing with that woman last year... he has been involved in everything that is risky, and he even went to Macau to gamble.
Now the company is nothing but an empty shelf, and the bank is already settling Ye Jinxiang's personal assets. Luo Qiuling only found out today that the house they live in has been mortgaged, and it will be taken back for auction by the bank in the near future.
When the valuables in the house were almost removed, Ye Jinxiang came back in a daze, and when he entered the door, he was thrown to the ground and punched several times.
Ye Qin was breathing heavily, his eyes were tearing apart, as if he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He still can't express his emotions like an adult. In addition to venting his anger at his mother who has been wronged for so many years, he is also looking for a release for the pain that he has nowhere to vent.
After venting, he should have felt happy, but emptiness and bewilderment seeped out from his body, enveloping him airtightly from the inside out.
What if I hit him? Can mother not cry? Can the house not be sold? Can time be turned back
... Can Cheng Feichi come back
Even if Ye Jinxiang was at fault, he couldn't be alone.
It was he who gave up confrontation and chose to take revenge secretly; it was he who was prejudiced and trampled on Cheng Feichi in every possible way; And the heart-wrenching tears are all because he has already entered the play.
If it wasn't for him entering the show, Cheng Feichi wouldn't have put his heart into it, and he wouldn't have been so decisive when he left in the end. Such a warm and kind person would not even give him the last chance.
One day in May, Zhou Feng was finally free and made an appointment with Ye Qin at the restaurant in front of the school.
Yeqin almost didn't recognize him at the first sight. I don't know how much the parents have done, Zhou Feng's face is bruised and mottled, and an inch of his head was shaved on the swollen pig's head, almost close to the scalp, leaving only less than one centimeter of green stubble.
"My grandfather shaved it. He said that the skills of the masters in the army may not be as good as his. After the skin is cut, you will be bald." Zhou Feng shook his head in embarrassment, "Actually, it looks okay, right? After all, brother I'm handsome, but the top of my head is chilled by a sudden gust of wind."
Ye Qin had learned that he was going to join the army on the phone, and he was naturally surprised at first. Just two or three months ago, this guy was still studying hard because he didn't want to be sent to the army.
Zhou Feng didn't go into details on the phone at the time, and only now did he tell the truth: "What you said earlier, I thought about it for a few days, and the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. At this juncture, we must Listen to my dad, otherwise what will happen to Yuanyuan? I can't let him be implicated anymore."
The door of the small restaurant faces the sun, and the windows are wide open. Without the fragrant smell of luxury and gold in the closed box of the clubhouse, it makes people more clear-headed and can honestly face the true thoughts in their hearts.
"You and the monitor..."
Ye Qin just raised his head, Zhou Feng made a "stop" gesture as if he knew what he was going to ask: "Please don't ask, these days my mother, grandma, and grandma have been chasing me and asking me what is going on with him?" Is it true or not, I almost vomited." He took a sip of cold drink, and continued, "I think, we are still too young, and we lived in a muddle before, and I don't know whether it is true or not. .I just want him to be well now, don't be dragged down by me anymore, or I really... "
Even if he didn't say the last sentence, Yeqin understood what he meant.
There are too many things in this world that have no clear boundaries for them. If they don't suffer a loss or fall into the mud, they won't know right from wrong, and they won't know what kind of irreversible consequences it will cause.
I ordered three stir-fried dishes and chatted while eating.
However, after not seeing each other for a month, there was a subtle atmosphere between the two of them reuniting with old friends, as well as the slightly heavy tranquility before parting.
Zhou Feng filled Ye Qin with a cup of tea: "Still looking for him?"
Ye Qin nodded, then shook his head: "I can't find it, so I won't look for it now."
A few days ago, he asked everyone he could, including the students Cheng Feichi had taught, and even contacted Cheng Feichi's alumni from the High School Attached to Normal University, and through them, he got in touch with the girl named Zhang Peiyao.
Zhang Peiyao was already in college, and when she received a call from Ye Qin and heard him ask about Cheng Feichi, she was very wary at first, saying that she would never say anything anyway, so that he would not try to pry her out.
The moment Ye Qin heard her voice, he knew she was the one he was looking for. He explained the purpose of his visit, saying that he just wanted to know where Cheng Feichi was now and what happened back then. Seeing his sincerity, Zhang Peiyao slowly let go of his guard.
Regarding his question, the former Zhang Peiyao said that she was helpless, and she hadn't contacted Cheng Feichi for a long time. In the latter case, she made a vague generalization, to the effect that she was ignorant back then, and failed to catch up with someone, so she heard people instigate and spread rumors that Cheng Feichi was gay, and she didn't expect to force him to leave the High School Attached to Normal University.
Now that times have changed, things that are ashamed to say have become less difficult to confess. In the end, Zhang Peiyao warned Ye Qin: "I have explained the matter clearly. No matter who you are, please stop harassing him. He doesn't want to be disturbed."
Thinking of this, Ye Qin couldn't help smiling wryly, he didn't want to chase after him, he just wanted to make sure Cheng Feichi was doing well.
Zhou Feng didn't know what he was thinking, tilted his head to ponder for a moment, and agreed: "Then don't look for it for now. When I perform well in the army, I will ask my old man to help you look into it."
Ye Qin agreed, took a sip of water, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "When did you find out that you were attracted to him?"
Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Who, who are you tempted by?"
"Anyone will do."
Zhou Feng put down his chopsticks, recalled solemnly, and said: "It's just... like a chemical reaction. When I saw him, I saw me in his eyes, and my heart burst into bubbles. The heat rose from the chest to the throat, and then spread to the In the brain, every nerve is soaked in it, and the whole person is about to smoke."
Regarding this meaningless explanation, Ye Qinquan took it as a joke to ease the atmosphere before parting, and then forgot about it when he turned around.
Unable to sleep that night, he took out his mobile phone and went to the campus forum, flipped through the posts that he had browsed many times, and re-read the photos of Cheng Feichi secretly taken by others.
He didn't save these photos in his phone, because this wasn't Cheng Feichi in his eyes. But what Cheng Feichi looked like in his eyes, he himself couldn't describe it with those flat words.
It was raining lightly the next day, and the van couldn't load much. The driver impatiently told them to speed up, saying that they would go to another store to deliver goods later.
Boxes of daily miscellaneous products were thrown to the garbage dump. Yeqin's last remaining luggage was mostly clothes and books, with glass bottles wrapped inside the clothes, and a small piece of Lego mechanics that had not been dismantled was piled on top of the books.
When the car started, he suddenly remembered something, jumped out of the car regardless, ran to the trash can and squatted down to search, as if he hadn't heard his mother's call behind him.
After finally finding out the mobile phone that was eliminated last year from the pile of odds and ends, Yeqin was so nervous that his heart jumped out of his chest when he pressed the power button. He took a long breath.
After turning it on, he quickly flipped to that photo based on his memory.
The desk, the window, the winter sun, and the boy who was secretly photographed.
Yeqin looked at the photo almost greedily. He didn't want to cry at first, and it's embarrassing to cry enough for a while, but the chemical reaction Zhou Feng said, and the bubble heat, made his nose sour and his eye sockets swollen.
There is also this annoying spring rain, which keeps falling.
But I also want to thank the continuous rain for washing away the regret and resentment accumulated in his heart for many days.
With tears in his eyes, he forced a smile, moved his lips, and said to the person in front of him the blessing he hadn't had time to send: "You must study hard, eat well, sleep well, and be happy every day, don't, don't... "
Don't run into bad guys anymore—Yeqin couldn't say this sentence several times, because he himself is one of the bad guys. He is selfish, stupid, arrogant, arrogant, and not only has one more thing than others He loves to commit murderous crimes, and he still wants to go back to the past to this day.
Wiping away the tiny raindrops that fell on the screen, Ye Qin stared at the person in the photo for a long time, as if looking at him through the screen.
The young man frowned slightly, his mouth was half-opened, and he had a silly expression because of the sudden incident, which couldn't hide his handsome and gentle eyes.
At that moment, they only had each other in their eyes, and everything was still the best at the beginning.
