Falling Down the Pond

Chapter 72

The next morning, Ye Qin was not the first to get up, and when he opened the door, Cheng Feichi was already drinking coffee at the dining table.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, rub your eyes, and look hard in the mirror.

Although I am used to living an ordinary life, some parts of my body are still ignorantly delicate, such as the stomach, the skin, and the eyes. If you cried the day before, your eyes will be bloodshot the next day, and eye drops will have little effect.

Pulling his bangs to cover his eyes, Ye Qin shyly walked outside and sat down. The breakfast seemed to be delivered by the kitchen. The two quicksand buns were carefully arranged, and the sandwiches were cut neatly and beautifully. The fragrance of the ingredients itself and the aroma of the salad dressing overflowed the mouth after one bite. The dough was fried crispy outside and soft inside. , the taste is excellent, many times better than what he made.

No wonder Cheng Feichi ordered food instead of eating his cooking. Yeqin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He wanted to learn how to cook these years, but he really didn't know how to cook in this area. He could cook a pot of dark dishes by strictly following the recipe step by step, and he was barely good at frying eggs.

Seeing him put down the cup to wipe his hands, Cheng Feichi asked, "Have you finished eating?"

Ye Qin nodded, Cheng Feichi stood up, went to the cabinet at the entrance and brought a box, opened it as he walked, and brought along the burn ointment that was used on the tea table last night.

When he came to the front, Ye Qin took a closer look and found that the new bottle was safflower oil. He jumped up, took the two bottles and ran to the bathroom, without looking back, he said, "Thank you, I will do it myself. .”

Once inside, Ye Qin leaned against the door and let out a sigh of relief.

It was here yesterday that Cheng Feichi held his hands and applied scalding ointment on him, and asked him if his lower back hurt, and said that he would take him to see a doctor.

How did he respond then? Ye Qin boldly recalled it carefully. At that time, he was immersed in the shock brought by Cheng Feichi's "I know". I used to be like that.

Even though he knew that he was not such a person, Ye Qin was still terrified, buried his head lower, and shrunk himself into a ball, trying to resist for a while and escape the truth that was right in front of him.

Then Cheng Feichi held the hand hanging by his side, and then a pungent smell of medicinal oil wafted into his nose. Cheng Feichi asked him something while rubbing the medicine on him, seeing that he would just nod and shake his head, and put his other hand over his eyes, unwilling to put it down, and finally didn't ask any more questions, just said "rest early" and went out.

Ye Qin hated himself for being cowardly and incompetent, especially when in front of Cheng Feichi, he would always cry uncontrollably.

This is obviously not the case at ordinary times, he has suffered injuries that are hundreds of times more painful than this, and the bullying he has encountered is even more difficult to count with two hands. He himself was used to it, and he had heard many comforts from others, but none of them made him feel more sad than Cheng Feichi's words, and he just wanted to throw himself into his arms and cry.

Cheng Feichi is such a special existence to him, who can arouse all his fighting spirit and defeat his last line of defense.

Whether others like him or hate him, he doesn't care, what he cares about is what Cheng Feichi thinks of him, whether he believes him or not, and whether he is willing to give him another chance.

Thinking about it, Ye Qin didn't have the guts to do this kind of thing.

After taking the medicine by himself, he adjusted his mood by the way. When he came out, Cheng Feichi was already standing in the porch buttoning his shirt cuff buttons, and his shoes were at his feet. Hearing the sound of opening and closing the door, he turned his head to him and said, "Is it too early to go back to the set?"

When he went downstairs to the hotel and saw the commercial vehicle parked at the door, Ye Qin dully realized that Cheng Feichi was going to take him back to the set, and hurriedly said: "I can just take a taxi by myself, it will take a long time to go back and forth, you go and do your work... "

After the driver opened the rear door for him, the sound became smaller and smaller until it was too weak to be heard. Cheng Feichi sat on the other side of the back seat and waited for him to get into the car.

With the intention of spending more time with Cheng Feichi, Ye Qin compromised and got into the car.

Walking on the expressway around the city, you can see the rolling Cangquan Mountain in the distance, and Ye Qin gradually noticed something unusual. Cheng Feichi usually drives by himself, and he doesn't drive this business car. Today, he not only changed the car to let the driver drive, but also brought a capable assistant in a suit and skirt.

At this moment, Cheng Feichi was processing documents with a laptop in the back seat, and the assistant was sitting in the co-pilot to guide the driver. This state was clearly going to work, not dropping someone off along the way.

The more Ye Qin thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He couldn't sit still and stretched his neck to look around. As soon as the car got off the highway, he said, "Please pull over and put me down. We're almost there."

The assistant turned to look at Cheng Feichi, waiting for his order.

Cheng Feichi, who was buried in his work, did not raise his head, and said calmly, "Go to the original destination."

When he arrived at the place, Ye Qin jumped out of the car as if his butt was on fire. Before closing the door, he rushed inside and said, "Thank you, thank you. I'll go in first. On the way back..."

"Wait me a moment."

Cheng Feichi made Ye Qin freeze in place with just a few words.

Seeing all the people in the car get off, Cheng Feichi walked up to him, raised his hand to help him straighten the pleated front, and said, "Let's go."

I was notified yesterday that today's filming is indoors. The production crew started work early, and all the photography equipment and props were ready at this point, and the staff members were also present. Some of them were chatting with each other while biting their buns. Seeing Ye Qin coming, he greeted him, "Brother is here, have you had breakfast yet?"

Cheng Feichi let Ye Qin walk in front, and Ye Qin said hello to a few people he knew well, but he didn't dare to lift his foot and bury his foot over the threshold to go inside.

He didn't want to cause a commotion, but everyone in the crew had excellent eyesight, especially the life assistant, who looked at Ye Qin and the people standing behind him, turned around and slipped into the room to call for someone. After a while, the main crew members gathered in this small yard.

Including that lustful Director Li.

He probably didn't expect to encounter such a battle. He looked at Cheng Feichi's clothes and the car parked outside, and said with a smile on his face, "This is...?"

Cheng Feichi stood still, his serious expression and heavy aura made everyone around him fall silent.

Director Li who took the lead couldn't get a response, so he laughed a few times and looked at Ye Qin embarrassedly: "Xiaoye, why don't you introduce yourself?"

At this time, the female assistant on the side stepped forward to hand over her business card, and then said a few casual words such as "Mr. Ye is our friend of Mr. Cheng" and "I hope the crew will take care of you." Please, it actually reveals an obvious sense of threat and pressure.

Since Director Li took the business card and saw the name and company title on it, he didn't dare to show it. Facing the smirking female assistant, all he could do was "OK, OK, yes, yes" and "No problem", nodding and bowing in agreement. It's summer, but within two or three minutes, a cold sweat breaks out on the forehead.

The people around have never seen the scene where the benefactor directly came to the crew to support him, but they can probably guess why. At the so-called wrap-up banquet that day, after Ye Qin went out, Director Li hurriedly followed and was helped back. Everyone saw it, and discussed it in private.

The purpose of deterrence was achieved, Cheng Feichi and his assistant left first.

Director Li and his team enthusiastically sent people outside, stood at the door and was swept away by Cheng Feichi's icy eyes, and did not dare to take a step forward: "Mr. here..."

The well-trained assistant stood far away from the driver, and there were only Cheng Feichi and Ye Qin within a radius of 20 meters.

Ye Qin had been speechless since just now, and now that there was no one else around, he had a different expression on his face: "I...you, you don't have to help me like this, in case I get offended by you What's up… "

Seeing the panic-stricken look of the person in front of him, Cheng Feichi's thoughts suddenly drifted back to six years ago.

On a night in early autumn, on the sidewalk outside the school, Ye Qin was the same as now, because he was terrified by others knowing the relationship between the two, and he didn't dare to sit in the back seat of his car, and he didn't dare to walk side by side with him, for fear that someone would find out again If it spreads out, it will affect his further studies.

He still remembered that Yeqin was scratching his hair, and said with a wrinkled face, annoyed, "You finally won the award. If you let others know at this time, it will be all over. No school will accept you."

The past overlaps with the present, and the two events are surprisingly similar.

The effect achieved was exactly the same, the soft flesh in the heart seemed to be poked by something, Cheng Feichi came back to his senses in a daze, looked at Ye Qin's anxious and worried eyes, and said after a while: "It's okay, nothing will happen."

Although he couldn't dispel all his worries for a while, Ye Qin's words still made Ye Qin feel at ease.

He watched Cheng Feichi get into the car, and bowed to look into the rear window of the car with the one-way film. His nose was almost stuck to the glass, but he still couldn't see anything. Just as he was about to back away to let the car go, the window suddenly dropped opened.

Cheng Feichi sat upright inside, holding a pen in his left hand, and passed a business card out of the window with his right: "Call me if you need anything." After a short pause, he added, "Remember to apply the medicine."

The shot that was expected to be completed in half a day actually took two and a half days.

This time, it wasn't that the film crew saw that Ye Qin could deliberately slow him down to delay the time. On the contrary, because the crew's attitude towards him changed drastically. One moment they were afraid that he would be tired and hungry, another moment they were afraid that the sun would tan him, and the shooting schedule changed. Changes were made and pushes were pushed again and again, resulting in Ye Qin spending a lot of time sitting in the crew's lounge in a daze in a 24-hour day besides eating, sleeping, and filming.

"Your brother came to support you, and you didn't call your sister to watch, it's too embarrassing."

In the air-conditioned lounge, four or five plates of fruit were placed on the table. Liu Yuqing twirled a few grapes and threw them into her mouth. While eating, she accused Ye Qin of his "inhuman behavior".

Yeqin fiddled with the business card in his hand and muttered, "It's nothing to look at."

"Look at Director Li's displeasure," Liu Yuqing said, "He said earlier that I couldn't act like a petty citizen, so he asked me to go outside to see and learn more. Isn't that a great opportunity that day? For 'flattery and flattery'."

Ye Qin was amused by her, she sighed instead, and said with emotion: "It's a pity not to be an actor for such a handsome man."

When it comes to this Ye Qin is anxious: "He has a job, he is very busy."

This time it was Liu Yuqing's turn to smile: "Hahaha, look at how nervous you are. You're so jealous. You should stop filming in the future. It's hard work and dangerous. It's better to stay at home and watch your brother. Anyway, he has money to support him." You're not a problem."

"Then... wouldn't that really be a nurturing?"

Ye Qin said the word "nurture" very quietly, as if he was afraid of being overheard.

Liu Yuqing imitated his cautious appearance, leaned over and blinked: "So my brother doesn't want to be taken care of by him?"

Ye Qin blushed all of a sudden: "No, I don't want to."

For Yeqin, the only thing that can seduce him about the nurturing is that he can often meet with Cheng Feichi.

He wanted to get back together with Cheng Feichi, and wanted to return to his previous relationship, even though everyone in the circle knew about the nurturing relationship between Cheng Feichi and him.

Cheng Feichi definitely didn't mean that, all the help he gave him was just for the sake of getting acquainted. If there are only these two options in the end, Ye Qin would rather be ordinary friends with Cheng Feichi than a vague lover.

Ye Qin took Cheng Feichi's business card and read it during the day and at night. He wanted to send a text message to thank him for sending him to the film crew, but he felt that this opportunity should not be wasted.

After completing all the shots, he drove down the mountain and came to the Garden Hotel uninvited again.

Cheng Feichi came back very late that night, turned on the light and threw his coat in the hallway, walked into the room while pulling his tie, raised his head and bumped into Ye Qin who came out of the second bedroom, both of them froze in place.

Ye Qin thought that Cheng Feichi would not come back today, after all this is not his only residence, so he jumped up from the bed when he heard the sound of the door lock, and almost fell to the ground.

As for why Cheng Feichi was surprised, Ye Qin could also guess the reason. There were four digits written on the back of the business card given to him that day, and Ye Qin knew it was the door lock code at the time, but when Cheng Feichi handed it over, he said "I have something to do" and contacted again, clearly telling him tactfully and implicitly not to go. run here.

The password is reserved for him in case he needs it, not for him to come and go freely and treat this place as his own home.

Sure enough, Cheng Feichi didn't bother to take off his tie, and his first reaction was to ask, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Ye Qin shook his head, feeling bitter in his heart.

This is exactly why he struggles these days. Cheng Feichi is clear in his work and treats people with a clear sense of closeness and closeness. The meaning of giving a password to the phone is also clear at a glance-I can help you and protect you, but don't push yourself too far and try to make me break the rules for you again.

Ye Qin came here this time to ask the truth, even if seeking forgiveness is a protracted battle that cannot be achieved overnight, he at least has the right to know whether his efforts are in the right direction.

Cheng Feichi has the habit of reading a book before going to bed every night, no matter how late it is.

After Cheng Feichi took a shower and sat down with a book in hand, Ye Qin seized the opportunity and said, "I want to ask you a question."

Cheng Feichi raised his head and looked at him for a while: "You ask."

Ye Qin licked his lips nervously, clenched and loosened the hand hanging by his side, and after a long time of deliberation, he said, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Cheng Feichi subconsciously looked down at his right hand, with the palm facing down, and his knuckles moved. After a while, he said calmly, "It's nothing, it's none of your business."

Yeqin knew that the "none of your business" here meant that it had nothing to do with him, but he didn't want this answer.

No matter how calm and powerful Cheng Feichi looks, no matter how invulnerable to swords and guns, he is also a human being with a mortal body. He is just used to hiding sad things in his heart and silently carrying all the burdens. It used to be like this, and it is still the same now. .

If he is really so invincible, he really won't be hurt, and he won't lose hope just because he heard such unbearable words, give up everything and go away.

If you want him to be happy, you have to find the crux of the matter, and you can no longer rely on and accept blindly like before.

He didn't want to answer this question, so Ye Qin changed it: "You heard what I said outside the door that day, right?"

Ye Qin, who seemed upright and confident, had no confidence at all, and his palms were sweating profusely.

In particular, Cheng Feichi's calm and composed state pushed his psychological defense back again and again until there was no way out.

"I already answered a question just now." Cheng Feichi turned his gaze back to the page, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The courage condensed in his chest was once again broken by indifference and resistance. Ye Qin lowered his shoulders, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, a deep sense of despair swept through his heart.

He seemed to have screwed up yet another golden opportunity to open up.

It's really self-inflicted.

Going to the kitchen like a walking corpse to pour water, drink water, clean up the house, and hang up the coat in the hallway, I saw the bottle of men's perfume again.

Ye Qin picked it up to look at it, and asked the bottle with the corner of his mouth drooping, "You... are you getting engaged?"

Since it was a soliloquy that no one heard, he could release his sorrow and grievance wantonly, and his voice was deliberately lowered with a nasal sound.

Unexpectedly, I got a reply.

Cheng Feichi, who has always been so absorbed in reading that nothing can enter his ears, raised his head again, and said in Ye Qin's direction, "Who said that?"

The author has something to say:

Zhou Feng: I am not, I am not, I am just hearsay!
