71.
Autumn in the capital comes earlier than in S City, and the same rain, it rained here with a majestic and monstrous momentum.
When Yeqin’s high-speed train arrived, Zhou Feng, who was waiting at the exit, dug him out from the crowd, complaining that there were too many people at the train station and looking for a parking space for a long time, when he saw him leaning on crutches with his left hand, Looking down and seeing his bandaged leg, he let out a "fuck" and hurriedly helped him move to a place where there were few people: "Didn't you say it was just a sprained ankle? I think it's a bit serious."
Ye Qin threw the backpack to Zhou Feng, jumped forward with difficulty, and said, "A bone was broken, and a steel plate was nailed."
Zhou Feng: "...can we not talk about this kind of thing as easily as going out for a meal?"
Ye Qin opened the corner of his mouth, the smile embedded in his pale face looked extremely fragile and desolate, but he himself didn't think so, and said indifferently: "I'm still growing up, the doctor said it will be fine soon."
Take the straight elevator to the parking lot, park the car far away, and walk a long way.
The more Zhou Feng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He looked down at his left foot, which was so swollen that he couldn't wear a shoe: "The doctor really said that? It's been a hundred days, why don't you stay in S City for a few more days before return?"
"You can't use the medical insurance card there, hiss—" When getting into the car, his leg accidentally knocked against the front seat, and Yeqin carefully moved the injured leg into the car, "I don't usually need it even if I'm not sick, but this time it's finally useful I can't pay the money for the past two years in vain."
Knowing his current situation, Zhou Feng still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable hearing this. The two of them had known each other for many years. Yeqin's life in the past was not to mention extravagant, at least it was considered carefree. When did he worry about a little hospitalization and medical expenses
Starting the car and leaving the train station, Zhou Feng asked him casually if he wanted to stay in the Capital Military Region General Hospital for two days, saying that his father was familiar with that place. Same? It’s enough to go to the hospital every day and get some anti-inflammatory water, the hospital is noisy with people coming and going, and being unable to sleep will affect my bone growth.”
Zhou Feng couldn't say no to him, and gave way: "Then you can call me 24 hours a day if you have something to do. If you still treat me as a brother, don't be polite to me."
Ye Qin nodded, jokingly said: "Okay, I'll call and ask you to bring me a midnight snack as soon as midnight."
Back at his dormitory in a residential area in the north of the city, Zhou Feng helped him in and took a tour along the way. Seeing the Lego Technic set on the top bunk covered with a glass cover, I suddenly thought of something: "Hey, you fell and injured, why didn't Cheng Xueba come back with you?"
Yeqin had just boasted that he would bring people back to the capital to have dinner together, and now he felt a sense of embarrassment being exposed, and he made up a random reason: "He is busy, the whole company is waiting for him to give orders. Don't delay work because of me."
Zhou Feng was puzzled: "So busy that you don't even have time to book a plane ticket for you?"
"I'm the one who wants to take the high-speed rail." Ye Qin, who has accumulated some acting skills as an actor for several years, said nonsense, "What's so good about an airplane? The high air pressure is low. What if the steel plate I made cracked?" manage."
Zhou Feng rubbed his head, he didn't have a broken bone, so I don't know if he really can't fly, but since Ye Qin said so, he believed it. Then he reminded: "Then why don't you call him when you arrive? He must be worried there..."
Ye Qin threw a pillow over: "It's all right, it's time, you should go home quickly."
After sending Zhou Feng away, Ye Qin leaned against the wall and went back to the room, picked up the phone and opened the address book, returned to the text message interface, switched back to the address book, struggled for a long time, and finally his eyes stayed on the time in the upper right corner.
At half past two in the morning, he should be asleep.
Since he didn't contact himself, it meant that he didn't suspect anything. Ye Qin lay down on the bed, took a deep breath, relaxed his body, and thought that it would be worthwhile for him to be discharged from the hospital despite the doctor's dissuasion just after the operation. He ran to the Garden Hotel, put away what needed to be packed, and left a A note of Dominion's whereabouts. In the end, he didn't hold back, and left behind something that shouldn't be taken out at this time.
After the anesthesia passed, the wound felt like being bitten by thousands of ants. Now that there was no one around, Yeqin could finally stop pretending nothing happened, and while gnashing his teeth and tightening his grip on the pillow, he took a deep breath to relieve the pain.
The hospital in S City prescribed painkillers, got up and swallowed two pills, and Ye Qin fell asleep in a daze until the sky turned pale.
Cheng Feichi in the dream was even more indifferent than reality. After opening the red box, he curled his lips and sneered. He picked up the ring and held it in front of his eyes. After counting down to three seconds, he let it go and let it fall to the ground, rolling away without knowing it. where.
Waking up with sweat on his chest and back, Ye Qin immediately picked up the phone and was relieved when he saw the screen was empty. He closed his eyes and lay down for a while to calm his disturbed heartbeat. He got up and took a shower to prepare to go out.
The rain had stopped, and Yeqin rarely had the luxury of taking a taxi to the hospital because of his inconvenient legs and feet and there was still water on the ground.
On the way, holding the mobile phone and making cold jokes to Cheng Feichi, he received a call from Song Jue.
"Brother, what's wrong with your leg, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just raise it for a few days."
"Have you returned to the capital? I've been running outside with Sister Yueyue these few days. You can sleep in my bed, it should be more spacious."
Ye Qin said with a smile: "Do you need to say that, I'm already asleep."
Seeing that he was in good condition, Song Jue was relieved: "That's good. He Hansong is also out of town for a while and won't go back, so the dormitory is just reserved for you to recuperate."
This is good news, at least you don't have to be affected by cynicism. After hanging up the phone, Ye Qin continued to send text messages, inexplicably feeling that the cold joke he chose today was particularly funny, looking at the text message interface alone, he was so happy that he forgot most of the pain from his wound.
Cheng Feichi would laugh when he saw it, if he could see it.
Although he had obtained Cheng Feichi's new number, Ye Qin still stubbornly sent the text message to the previous number.
He didn't do this entirely because of cowardice. He privately felt that this account had witnessed every detail of him and Cheng Feichi from their acquaintance to the present, and it was of extraordinary significance.
Unless the number is changed, he will keep sending it.
Sitting in the infusion room of the hospital, hanging anti-inflammatory water, Liao Yifang, who got the news, arrived in less than an hour after calling to confirm his location.
Traditions such as the squad leader would never visit a patient empty-handed, he carried a few big bags of fruit, milk, walnut powder, and when he saw Ye Qin was just getting an infusion, he said in surprise, "How can I not be hospitalized for a broken bone? What should I do if the bone is crooked? How about getting up at night?"
Ye Qin couldn't laugh or cry at his love and concern for years: "Squad leader, why are you like that doctor just now, you almost pressed my hand and asked me to mark it on the hospitalization form." He patted his thigh, "It's okay , okay, the legs are growing on me, can I not understand?"
After the infusion, the needle was pulled out and went to find a restaurant. As soon as he sat down, Liao Yifang began to search for information on the Internet, and read anxiously: "Congestion and swelling in the early stage of the fracture, the diet should be light, and fatty and nourishing products should not be given too early, such as Bone soup, chicken soup, stewed water fish... Oh my god—" After reading this, I hurriedly stood up and shouted in the direction of the restaurant kitchen, "Boss, did the fish we ordered just go into the pot?... Not yet? Then please remove this dish, thank you ah!"
Ye Qin couldn't stop him, so he had to let him decide.
While waiting for the food to be served, I chatted with Zhou Feng on WeChat. Zhou Feng sent a row of kitchen knife emojis. Ye Qin didn't give out his address, but only said that he was eating near the hospital: [The squad leader is also my friend, I can't be partial to you betraying him Ah, if you can find it, you two will be destined]
Zhou Feng sent a row of withered emoticons, saying: [Please eat slowly, give the humble villain some time!]
As a result Yeqin underestimated him.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Feng found the restaurant. Looking behind him, it turned out that he brought a helper to look for it separately, and the helper was everyone's mutual friend, Zhao Yue.
Liao Yifang saw that Zhou Feng wanted to leave, but there were friends around, so it seemed impolite to leave hastily. He expected that Zhou Feng would not dare to say anything in front of so many people, so he sat calmly and continued to eat.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng didn't play cards according to common sense, and he said a thunderous sentence: "Yuanyuan, since the two buddies who have the best relationship with me are here, I will give you a guarantee, as long as you are willing to accept me. , From now on, if you let me go east, I dare not go west, and if you let me jump into the sea, I dare not jump off a cliff.”
Liao Yifang was as thin-skinned as ever, his face blushed: "You...you shut up."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Feng hurriedly agreed, "Then you say, just say what you want, as long as you can stump me, I will never pester you again from now on."
Ye Qin, who was watching, couldn't help but lamented in his heart that this tactic of retreating into advance was well used, and the squad leader was soft-hearted and fearful, so he couldn't say anything excessive.
Liao Yifang thought for a while and said, "Your family won't accept me."
Zhou Feng pulled his collar to show him the long wound on his shoulder: "It's been taken care of after a beating."
Liao Yifang's eyes moved slightly, and then he quickly looked away: "My parents won't accept you either."
Zhou Feng smiled and said: "I come to the door every day to clean my face, play chess with your father, and knit sweaters with your mother. I don't believe I can't impress the two kind-hearted elders."
Ye Qin cursed inwardly as a "rogue". Seeing Liao Yifang on the opposite side put down his chopsticks, he sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "It's not that you can't do it to girls, and neither do I. It's not about each other, it's up to you, So why do you have to make such a fuss and make your family sad?"
The meal was boring, and after Liao Yifang left, Zhou Feng chased him out, leaving Ye Qin and Zhao Yue staring at each other. The old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years had nothing to say at this moment. explain.
Ye Qin asked the waiter for a new set of tableware, and pushed it in front of Zhao Yue: "Have you not had lunch yet? Eat something, or it will be wasted."
Zhao Yue picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of mushroom in the bowl, and after thinking about it, he said, "Aqin, I'm sorry about the past..."
Ye Qin was most afraid of hearing this, making it look like someone else had ruined their family's bankruptcy, and hurriedly expressed his position: "It's okay, the past is over, I owed you to lend me money back then. I'm doing fine now... except just now A broken leg looks a bit miserable."
Zhao Yue still couldn't let go, so he ate the piece of mushroom, and said: "I heard about Liu Yangfan, and he just played around in a hurry, don't be as knowledgeable as him, we will still be friends in the future, OK?"
Ye Qin didn't know what he had heard and who told him, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of it. I also heard from Zhou Feng that Zhao Yue had changed a lot after taking over the family company.
Although he felt that he could no longer blend in with them, nor could he adapt to the pity in their eyes when they looked at him.
Ye Qin smiled and replied "No problem", Zhao Yue on the opposite side was still not at ease, and asked again: "How are you and Cheng Xueba now? I heard from Zhou Feng that you are going to get back together soon?"
Ye Qin was embarrassed: "Not yet... almost."
Zhao Yue nodded: "Back then I could see that you really liked him, and he really liked you too, and he hasn't found a partner in the United States for five years."
Hearing about Cheng Feichi, Ye Qin's ears perked up immediately: "Have you seen him in America?"
Zhao Yue said: "I only met him once, at the Lego Creative Contest held by a university. The school he went to is not comparable to our Yeji University. We don't usually meet each other. We can only listen to rumors among foreign students from our country."
"… Lego?"
"Yes, didn't he tell you?" Zhao Yue recalled, "About three or four years ago, it seems that he came from their school club. The strange thing is that their group obviously had a very good plan for the mechanical group. , he is the main creator, but in the end it was useless. The reason he gave was that he had made a similar one for someone else, and this one belonged to that person alone, and he had no right to take it back without permission.”
After returning, Ye Qin stood by the bed and looked up at the incomplete mechanical unit protected in the glass cover. For the first time in these days, he had the urge to call Cheng Feichi.
He wanted to ask him, you haven't thought about me at all in the past five years, have you? You still miss me, don't you? Otherwise, why do you still treat me so well
Holding the phone, I switched from the address book to the text message and back again, and repeated this several times. Before I could figure out what to say, the phone suddenly vibrated, and a new message appeared on the interface.
It was from Cheng Feichi, using his new account number: [You left something behind]
Ye Qin's heart beat faster, and his originally calm and steady pace was suddenly disrupted. Thinking that he was going to talk about the ring, it took a long time after writing the text message before mustering up the courage to send it: [What?]
Cheng Feichi was obviously not as troubled as he was, so he replied quickly: [Mobile phone charger]
Seeing these five words, Ye Qin heaved a sigh of relief, but turned a little disappointed. He wondered if Cheng Feichi didn't see what he put in the corner of the dining table, or if he saw it and pretended not to.
Ye Qin wanted to know Cheng Feichi's reaction, but was also a little afraid to know. He typed and deleted for a long time, thinking that it would be better to ask in person, but finally flinched, and chose to continue pretending to be stupid.
72.
When he received the reply, Cheng Feichi had just hung up Yi Zheng's call.
When he first returned to China, Yi Zheng contacted him to explain his work. Recently, I don't know if he was influenced by Cheng Xin, and he tended to interfere in his private affairs more and more. He started ordering him to go home for dinner within a few words, and the matter of changing his surname into the genealogy was even more clichéd. By the way, he didn't forget to ask Yan Hong for afternoon tea, wishing he could arrange everything for him 24 hours a day.
It's a pity that it doesn't work. Cheng Feichi is not a softie who hides under the wings of his parents to earn a living. His original intention is to return to China to seek his own development, otherwise he would not be expanding his business in the capital while taking care of the Yijia company.
To put it bluntly, he was not willing to take over the property of the Yi family, and he didn't think these things should belong to him. Since he is not greedy, no one can hold the handle and really control him.
Clicking on the text message from Ye Qin, the four lines of words were eloquent: [Sorry I left in a hurry and forgot, I will get it after my work here is over! But I won't be free for the next half a month... Please help me keep it first!]
Cheng Feichi frowned, always feeling that something was weird, such a long paragraph seemed to be trying to cover up.
It was the same feeling he felt when he came back to the overly tidy house that day. If you are really in a hurry, how can you find the time to put everything back together before leaving? There are half-used pork belly and a few chicken wings in the refrigerator. The chicken wings are all marinated, and they are obviously ready for cooking at night.
Back at the top floor of the Garden Hotel in the evening, Cheng Feichi entered the room and saw the red box, walked over to pick it up and looked at it in his hand for a while, before he opened the lid, he heard a knock on the door outside.
The person who came was Yan Hong, who said he was having a party with friends nearby, and it was too late after the party, so he didn't want to go back, so he planned to open a room here for one night, so he came to see him.
Cheng Feichi felt that it was inappropriate for a girl to come in at this time, so he picked up the coat from the hallway and put it on, planning to take her downstairs and help her find a room.
Yan Hong lingered, refusing to move, and stretched his neck to look inside: "The borrower left, right?"
Although it was a question, he looked very determined, and there was a bit of joy on his face, as if he knew Ye Qin was not here a long time ago.
Cheng Feichi thought for a moment, then asked her, "How do you know he's borrowing?"
After hanging on the anti-inflammatory water for the third day, the swelling of Yeqin's left calf finally eased. The knee was so swollen that he could not straighten or bend it before, but now the soles of his feet don't hurt much when they touch the ground.
The doctor said that he had never seen him tossing and transferring to another hospital after breaking a bone and running around by himself. He issued an order for him to take an X-ray to see if the bone had grown crooked.
Ye Qin bounced down the stairs while leaning against the wall. On the way, he was helped by a kind nurse sister who helped him to the imaging department. When he took off his mask to thank him, he was almost recognized.
The nurse sister pointed at him and said in surprise: "Are you from that AOW...what's that called?"
Ye Qin quickly waved his hands: "No, no, if I want them to be so popular, this street will be in chaos from the south end to the north end."
Unexpectedly, the word became a prophecy.
After taking the film and showing it to the doctor, Ye Qin rejected Zhou Feng's proposal on the phone to skip work to pick him up, and continued bouncing down the stairs leaning on a clothes pole. He thought the crutch was ugly and heavy, so he threw it in the dormitory the day before yesterday and didn't use it.
Diagonally opposite the hospital was a middle school. Ye Qin passed by here before and didn't pay attention to it. Now that he has a broken leg, he can't walk fast. When he had time to look around, he found that the gate of this school was very similar to No. 6 Middle School, and the uniforms were similar.
It was the end of school time, and groups of students came out from the school gate, among them were boys on bicycles, although none of them were as handsome as Cheng Feichi, Ye Qin couldn't help but think of those days when he was sitting on the back seat of Cheng Feichi's bicycle.
Thinking about it, he found it funny. At that time, he should obviously have revenge, but he didn't know when he began to indulge in it quietly. If God can give him another chance to look back, he will definitely hug Cheng Feichi's waist tightly, stop hiding his feelings, stop saying those insincere words, and just tell him how much he likes him.
Moving to the bus stop, Ye Qin was still a little dazed by the memories that suddenly flooded into his mind just now. He forgot to put on his mask and was recognized by a female student waiting beside him.
"Qinqin, you're Qinqin, right?" The female student was from the passionate school, and before Yeqin could admit it, Dang even shouted, "Come and see, live Chinqin!"
Surrounded by students waiting for the bus, almost all of them have watched a certain popular variety show recently, and when they heard a familiar name, they cheered and gathered around.
It's useless for Ye Qin to refuse to admit that the voice of one person can't cover the words of a dozen or so people. It is the nature of Chinese people to love to watch the excitement. Even if people are not very popular, some uncles and aunts will come up and ask curiously, "Who is this?" So more and more people, the three floors inside and three floors outside will block the small platform. It's leaking.
Thanks to a teacher who was passing by after get off work, he couldn't stand it anymore and took action to maintain order, directing these students to disperse and let the disabled go first. After missing one bus, Yeqin finally boarded another car ten minutes later.
There were two schoolgirls on the same bus as him, but they were not as aggressive as the loud girl just now. They sat in the seat behind him, blushed and asked him in a low voice what happened to his leg, did he fall from dancing
Ye Qin knew that he didn't have many real fans, otherwise he wouldn't even know that their group parted ways long ago, nonsense: "Singing, too excited caused the blood to rush down, the blood vessels couldn't hold it, and the bones cracked gone."
Perhaps it was because his image in variety shows was quite serious, the two schoolgirls didn't realize that he was joking for a moment, they covered their mouths and widened their eyes and said, "Then Chinqin, be careful when you sing in the future."
After getting out of the car, Ye Qin walked and had fun, feeling more and more that he also had a talent for telling jokes, and thought that next time he might as well make it up for Cheng Feichi, it would appear more sincere, and maybe he would give him a good laugh.
Humming the group's debut song and walking into the community, I didn't care when I saw someone standing downstairs from a distance, holding the clothes picker in one hand, and took out the phone with the other to enter the joke just now into the memo for later use.
After dancing for half a minute, and approaching the entrance of the corridor, Ye Qin lifted his eyes from his mobile phone, and suddenly met the person who walked a few steps here, thinking that he was exhausted and hallucinating.
Being supported by those strong hands into the elevator, Ye Qin returned to the sky, unable to find the real feeling that Cheng Feichi was by his side.
How could he be in the capital
Oh yes, Zhou Feng said that he is expanding his business here.
But why is he here
Just met when visiting relatives and friends? That's too coincidental, the capital is densely populated, what is the probability of encountering people in the same neighborhood in the same building at the same time
... Turn around and ask Liao Yifang for help.
It coincided with the evening rush hour, and the elevator stopped almost every two floors. People kept coming in and out, and the small elevator was full of people.
Cheng Feichi circled an open space with his arms and protected Ye Qin in the corner, but at this moment Ye Qin couldn't care less about being moved, all he could think about was how to escape later, so as to avoid talking to Cheng Feichi and showing his flaws.
The elevator stopped on the 23rd floor. Ye Qin took advantage of the occupants near the door to make way, and stretched out his arms while moving out, reaching into his pocket for the key.
The corridor is short and narrow, and you can jump to the door of the dormitory in a few steps. Inserting the key into the keyhole to open the door, Ye Qin hopped in holding the door frame, before turning around completely, he hurriedly said: "Please, I'm sorry, the room is messy today, so I won't invite you in to sit down... It just so happens that you are busy too, you should sit down." I don't have time to stay here."
He spoke very fast, and the panic was written on his face. Others might not be able to see it, but Cheng Feichi could see it clearly.
"I'm not busy," he said standing at the door, "I'm here to see you."
Ye Qin was in a state where he couldn't hear or see, and he was about to close the door: "Then, let's go another day..."
The door didn't close, something blocked it.
Cheng Feichi's hand rested on the door panel, and Ye Qin looked at him with panic-stricken eyes, but he didn't let go.
The two were in a stalemate for a few seconds, but it was Ye Qin who finally relaxed first. The door in his heart has been open for Cheng Feichi all these years, no matter whether Cheng Feichi is willing to come in again, all he can do is wait, and he has no strength to close it at all.
He shouldn't be afraid, five years is enough for him to prepare.
But he still hung his head like a criminal awaiting trial, waiting for Cheng Feichi to deal with him. He opened up his whole body and heart under the sun, waiting for him to take a glance or step on it before leaving with a flick of his sleeve.
However, the expected questioning did not come for a long time, and the ring that he only dared to leave secretly while there was no one at home was not thrown on the ground.
Ye Qin raised his head slowly, and met his eyes as deep as a pool of water, his heart shrank suddenly.
Cheng Feichi said, "Didn't you say—"
But four words, the voice stopped. He pursed his lips, as if he couldn't speak, and seemed to be brewing something.
Ye Qin has never seen Cheng Feichi struggling like this. In his eyes, Cheng Feichi does everything in an orderly manner, never procrastinating, even the breakup five years ago was so straightforward, and he never looked back after cutting off the relationship.
But it was different now, apart from the usual emptiness and self-restraint, Yeqin also saw other things in his eyes. It was an emotion I had seen a long time ago, most of the time it was restrained, but now it seemed to be overflowing.
In the evening, the corridor is dark, and the setting sun is taking away the light that spreads on the ground in seconds.
So without waiting too long, after two short breaths, Cheng Feichi opened his lips again.
He looked at Ye Qin with the afterglow of the setting sun coming through the crack of the door, and said in a low and clear voice, "Didn't you say that you will never lie to me again?"
The author has something to say:
It’s thick and long~ My brother is asking about what Ye Xiaoruan said at the door of the room that day, if you forgot, you can turn to Chapter 63~
