73.
Ye Qin felt as if he was still in the world where he was alone, and seemed to have been separated, but he was thrown too far, suspended in mid-air dizzily, unable to touch the ground, unable to see the way ahead, I don't even know where to go.
Until the whistle of hot water boiling sounded in his ears, he stood up suddenly, as if he was dragged back to the real world with all five senses at once, and a second before the injured leg felt the pain, a hand pressed his shoulder Press back.
"I'll go, you sit down."
The sound of footsteps drifting away, the sound of rushing water, the sound of hot water being poured into a cup, the sound of footsteps approaching... During this process, Ye Qin regained his full consciousness and fidgeted like a frightened bird. The poured hot water scalded his fingertips.
Cheng Feichi sat down on the other side and reminded: "It's still very hot, so don't rush to drink."
Ye Qin withdrew his hand and rubbed against his clothes, the more he rubbed, the more itchy. Song Jue and He Hansong are not here, he is the owner of this room, but for some reason, he is more restrained than the first-time visitor.
After careful study, it was still because of the sentence I heard at the door.
He quietly raised his head and looked at the person sitting on the side corner of the sofa, whose eyes were on his lap.
He knew he couldn't avoid it, and he still had some luck in his heart, hoping that he wouldn't ask, even if he already knew the reason.
It's a pity that things backfired, Cheng Feichi asked in a flat tone: "Leg, what's wrong?"
Holding the principle of "any reason other than the truth is good", Ye Qin didn't dare to delay for too long, and replied: "Singing, singing... oh no, dancing and falling."
Almost slipping the tongue, Ye Qin frightened himself into a fright. But since Cheng Feichi asked him, there was a high probability that he didn't know about it. Cheng Xin will handle the matter well, she is the last person who doesn't want Cheng Feichi to know about this matter.
This is not cheating, Ye Qin thought comfortingly, this is not cheating at all.
Cheng Feichi didn't speak or nod. He just followed the source of the light and looked towards the master bedroom, and asked again, "Isn't there a job?"
"Ah... ah? Yes, I have a job. I went to work just now, and there will be a live broadcast later." Ye Qin was afraid that Cheng Feichi would not understand what a live broadcast is, and he was even more afraid that he would misunderstand. Chat, very simple."
After finishing speaking, I felt that I was talking too much. It was nothing at all, but after listening to this strange description, it seemed that there was something unusual about it.
Cheng Feichi didn't get suspicious, he said "Yes", and said, "You are busy with your work."
How can Ye Qin be busy? Zheng Yueyue heard that he broke his leg, so he scolded him and at the same time gave him another half month's leave on top of the original five days. From now until the end of September, he will There is nothing to do.
However, the words have already been spoken, and they have to find things to do if they have nothing to do. Ye Qin bravely jumped back into the room and pretended to close the door: "Then I... I'm busy, please go ahead."
A live broadcast lasted about 60 minutes, and Ye Qin spent this not too long and not too short time in a daze.
Cheng Feichi's way to find this place is not difficult to guess. Back then, he was a high school student who could find other people's addresses and household registration information by means of heresy. With Cheng Feichi's current status, why would it be difficult to know where he lives as an 18th line
Just why did he come here
By the way, didn't Cheng Feichi say he came to look for him outside the door? What's the matter with him, he didn't mention a word in the brief exchange just now
Ye Qin couldn't sit still anymore. After an hour passed, he turned off the music played outside, put on a slipper, moved to the door with his hand on the wall and pushed open the door.
Cheng Feichi had already left, and the two cups on the table had been taken back to the kitchen. The room was as tidy as if no one had been there.
Ye Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He poured a cup of water that changed from hot to warm, took two sips slowly, and suddenly heard a knock on the door. Ye Qin jumped to the door and looked at the cat's eyes. Cheng Feichi came back again.
Opening the door, he glanced towards the master bedroom first: "Is the live broadcast over?"
Ye Qin felt guilty, and replied without any confidence at all: "Well... it's over."
Cheng Feichi didn't ask any more questions, and walked into the room sideways, carrying a few bags of things to the kitchen.
Seeing him take out all the ingredients and put them on the cooking table, Ye Qin couldn't stay still any longer, and chased into the not-so-spacious kitchen, leaning on the refrigerator and said, "I'll just eat takeaway tonight, don't bother you..."
Cheng Feichi kept moving his hands and said, "I want to eat too."
After being sent to sit outside in the living room for five minutes, Ye Qin realized that he had been confused by logic. This is his residence, how can Cheng Feichi stay in the kitchen and cook
Busy and jumped back, Cheng Feichi was cutting vegetables with his sleeves rolled up, his skillful movements brought Ye Qin back to the days when they lived together in a trance.
In the past, at this time, he would tiptoe behind Cheng Feichi, hug him suddenly thinking he was unexpected, and ask him what delicious food he was doing while tickling him. He would always turn his head and smile and say, "Go outside to play." It'll be fine in a while."
Now Ye Qin didn't dare to hug him anymore, but Cheng Feichi turned to look at him as before, and said something similar: "Wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."
Dinner is two stir-fried vegetables and stewed chicken soup, which is generally light and most suitable for the wounded.
In the dormitory, only Ye Qin occasionally cooks, and the kitchen utensils are not complete. The chicken soup is stewed in an iron pot, and the yellow soup and half a chicken are served on the table in a large open bowl, which is surprisingly appetizing.
Cheng Feichi skimmed off the slick oil with a spoon, filled a bowl for Ye Qin, and skillfully put the chicken legs into his bowl with chopsticks. Amidst the hot air, Ye Qin's nose suddenly became sour, and tears almost slipped out of his eyes and fell into the bowl.
The meal was very quiet, neither of them spoke.
Ye Qin didn't dare to say it, he was afraid of arousing Cheng Feichi's suspicion and speculation, so keeping silent was the safest way to deal with it.
It wasn't until the two of them silently cleaned up the kitchen, Cheng Feichi washed his hands, put down his rolled up sleeves and prepared to leave, that Ye Qin followed him and moved two steps towards the door: "Go, go?"
Cheng Feichi let out a "hmm".
"Wait me a moment."
As he spoke, Ye Qin jumped back to the room, opened the closet and took a coat he bought last year that he was reluctant to wear, and handed it to Cheng Feichi outside: "It's cold in the capital, don't catch cold." After a pause, he said, "For you Said that the size may be a little small, just put it on to block the wind."
I don't know whether it was because S City was too hot or he forgot in a hurry when he left, but Cheng Feichi didn't bring a coat and came wearing a single shirt. He looked down at the gray windbreaker, hesitated for a moment, said "thank you", and raised his hand to take it.
Early the next morning, Ye Qin received a call from Zheng Yueyue.
"If you get hurt, keep a low profile and avoid appearing in public. Why can't you stay idle?"
She found out about being surrounded at the bus stop yesterday.
Because he couldn't move his legs, Ye Qin kept lying in the same position all night. His back was sore and his spine was sore and his neck was stiff. He held up his mobile phone in an awkward position and said weakly, "I'm very low-key. I just went to the hospital to get an IV. , who knew those students had such good eyesight."
Zheng Yueyue taught him a lesson like a magic spell, but she kept saying things like "I am a star", "There are a lot of fans in the previous variety show circle, don't always treat yourself as a passerby", and then reminded him not to talk nonsense to make people daydream, then The side idol drama is still being filmed, so it would be bad to let the interested paparazzi guess and offend the crew, and it can't be done with the backing of a powerful financial backer.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qin posted a Weibo according to the copy sent by Zheng Yueyue, to the effect that the injured leg was accidentally dropped by himself after leaving the set.
It took seven or eight minutes to sit up after posting, and then moved the injured leg from the bed to the floor. During the break, I picked up the phone and looked at it. I was shocked by the four-digit unread message in just a few minutes. .
After switching back to the homepage, I realized that my number of fans had risen by more than two million. No wonder I was recognized by those students yesterday.
Feeling puzzled by the cuteness of contemporary people, Ye Qin set up the tablet, put it on the upside-down rice washing basket, opened the latest episode of the program that he hadn't finished watching last time, and picked up a bowl of chicken soup that he didn't finish yesterday , Fill a spoonful of rice into it and heat it in the microwave.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Qin thought that the landlord who lived downstairs had something to explain. They have lived here for more than two years, and the landlord knocks on the door once a week on average. Apart from demanding the rent, he cares about all kinds of weird things. He heard him kicking the door after a quarrel with He Hansong earlier, and he went upstairs angrily to check for a long time, and rolled his eyes when he saw that there was no damage to the items and left.
Before opening the door, Ye Qin was fully prepared. He guessed that it might be because the movement in the room was too noisy these days. He even thought about his words, but when he opened the door, he froze.
The person who came was Cheng Feichi, not a landlord.
Each person gets a bowl of chicken soup and rice, and sits facing each other in front of a narrow foldable dining table.
Cheng Feichi took a few of the quicksand buns he brought and put them on a plate and pushed them in front of Ye Qin. Ye Qin picked up one and bit into it. The sweet and glutinous golden quicksand stuffing was mixed with the fresh fragrance of chicken soup, and there was nothing wrong with it. feel.
After eating, neither of them moved, and silently watched the show until the end.
The hostess in the screen took great care of Ye Qin, and always cue him to talk. At the end of the show, after reading an advertisement of a skin care product sponsor, she asked him what he ate to grow up with such exquisite facial features. Ye Qin understood that he was He didn’t look like this before his debut. Thanks to the use of X brand skin care products, his skin is tight and elastic, and he feels more confident when he goes out.
Ye Qin didn't take it seriously at all, but now that Cheng Feichi was also watching, he was so ashamed that he stretched out his hand and "slapped" the tablet upside down on the table. She raised her head just in time to meet Cheng Feichi's eyes looking at him.
The two who were in a passionate relationship five years ago had painted each other's faces countless times. Ye Qin envied Cheng Feichi's deep and tough facial contours. For a kiss, he always loves to touch Cheng Feichi's face in the dark, saying "I like this mouth", "the nose is beautiful" and "the eyelashes are also very long" while touching Cheng Feichi's face. Pecked his lips a few times, and said against his hot ear, "You look better."
Therefore, Cheng Feichi is the person who has the most say in the changes before and after his debut, whether it is appearance or personality.
The embarrassment of being seen through intensified.
Ye Qin looked away, stood up and put away the bowls and chopsticks, and was held down by Cheng Feichi on the opposite side: "I'll do it."
It was already eight o'clock in the morning after cleaning up the kitchen, and Ye Qin was worrying about how to stay in the same room with Cheng Feichi, Cheng Feichi offered to leave.
He opened the long strip box he brought, took out a silver carbon fiber crutch, and tested the hardness by breaking it from various angles with both hands, and handed it to Yeqin when he found it OK: "Use this, it's fine. It is stretchable, and the bottom pad can be replaced.”
Ye Qin took it over, knowing that this was probably the least old man's crutch that could be found on the market, he felt warm and embarrassed at the same time: "I'll only use it for a few days, this is too wasteful..."
"Buy whatever you want." Cheng Feichi said as he walked towards the door, picked up the coat he had brought from the sofa, and took it away with him.
Ye Qin didn't want him to stay too long and was reluctant to let him go. He struggled endlessly in his heart. After all, the fear of being exposed prevailed.
The temperature has returned to several degrees today, and there is no wind blowing in with the windows open.
After sending Cheng Feichi to the door, Ye Qin just wanted him to return the windbreaker so that he would not have to come next time, Cheng Feichi, who was holding the doorknob, suddenly turned around and said before him: "I'll go back to S City, come back tomorrow. "
74.
Near noon, the plane from the capital landed at S City Airport smoothly.
As soon as he left the terminal, Cheng Feichi got into the commercial car that had been waiting for a long time, took the notebook handed over by his assistant, and opened it to deal with business.
He left in a hurry yesterday, leaving behind a bunch of documents without reviewing them, and didn't bother to take his computer with him, let alone change his clothes. This time I came back not only to resolve the remaining affairs, but also to deploy the work for the next week. He has already planned, files can be received by email, meetings can be held remotely via video, and leaving for a few days will not cause any impact.
After the meeting, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. Cheng Feichi didn't have lunch and couldn't take care of it. He drove to the suite of the Garden Hotel by himself. When he opened the closet to pack his clothes, the doorbell rang outside.
Cheng Xin went to the company in a hurry, chased here non-stop, was pushed in by the nanny, saw the suitcase spread out on the ground, widened her eyes and said, "Where are you going?"
Cheng Feichi casually folded the clothes thrown on the sofa and put them in the suitcase, saying, "The capital."
"Are you looking for..." Halfway through the sentence, Cheng Xin consciously stopped, and changed his words, "Are you going on a business trip?"
"Business trips are just in passing." Cheng Feichi said, "A friend was injured, and I will take care of him."
Cheng Xin's face turned cold: "What friend?"
Cheng Feichi froze his movements, and finally turned his gaze to Cheng Xin to meet her gaze, and calmly said four words: "You know."
Cheng Xin panicked immediately, she didn't mention that matter in front of everyone, and only told her that the person had left under Yan Hong's questioning, where did Cheng Feichi know about it
"Did he tell you?" Cheng Xin's eyes were burning, and he patted the armrest of the wheelchair, "I said I wouldn't tell you in front of me, and then secretly contacted you behind my back, and I said I knew he was not a fuel-efficient man. lamp."
As he said, he got on the wheelchair and pulled Cheng Feichi's arm: "Don't go to the capital, don't go to him, you trust your mother once, trust your mother again, he is just greedy for your money, and wants to provoke our mother-child relationship, he has no good intentions .”
A simple sentence was thrown upside down, and at the end he choked himself, clutching his chest and coughing continuously.
Cheng Feichi put down his clothes, stretched out his hand and patted her on the back, and waited for her to stop coughing, and said, "I'll judge what he cares about, I don't need to bother my mother."
These words were tantamount to showing that she didn't believe her words. Cheng Xin was shocked and angry, and had a faint premonition that he could no longer control him. She still remembered Cheng Feichi's eagerness to grab his hand, with tears in his eyes: "Xiaochi, Xiaochi, we are almost successful, and we will soon be able to get that mother and child out of Yi's house. From then on, you It's the only young master of the Yi family, who has come to this point, and can't give up for such a person... Mom, please, please be a mother, okay?"
After hearing the tearful words, Cheng Feichi took his arm out of her hand and continued to pack his luggage.
He has repeated what he should say many times, made concessions repeatedly, and embarked on a path he didn't like. Now he doesn't want to pay for his mother's endless selfish desires anymore, let her be coerced or lured, or both, he will only follow his heart and make the choice he thinks is right.
Seeing that Cheng Feichi was unmoved, Cheng Xin, who was surrounded by fear and panic, immediately changed his face, and said angrily: "You dare to take half a step today, dare to find him, I will never let him go!"
If these words were used when Cheng Feichi was in his teens and fledgling, it might have a certain deterrent effect, but he is now twenty-five years old, Cheng Xin insists on urging him to grow up and let him avenge himself. Let him have enough time to accumulate strength and grow into a man who can stand on his own. Now even if he leaves the Yi family, Cheng Feichi will not be afraid of any threats from his mother.
He packed the luggage slowly, closed the lid and picked it up, stopped when he walked to the door, took a deep breath with his back turned to Cheng Xin, and said, "Mom, let yourself go."
It was just dark when I returned to the capital, and I turned on my phone to receive a new email from my assistant. I hurriedly browsed through the text, and Cheng Feichi had a general understanding of what happened at the food delivery port of the hotel that day. After a little speculation, I finally figured out the cause and effect.
At first, he was only surprised by Ye Qin's sudden departure, and then Yan Hong's behavior made him even more suspicious. Even if Yan Hong didn't recruit Cheng Xin under his cross-examination, he only needed to use his brain a little to know that there were only a few possibilities, and he could get a general direction by using the method of elimination.
Moreover, there is also elevator monitoring that can be retrieved.
Yesterday, I tuned out the monitoring of the day Ye Qin left and quickly replayed it. I saw that he was walking briskly when he went downstairs with a bento box in his hands at noon. When he came back before dark, he was walking with difficulty on crutches. It's not as simple as Yeqin said.
Just now, after a casual test, he was sure that the matter was really related to Cheng Xin. On the way to the airport, Cheng Feichi contacted his assistant and asked her to go to the hotel lobby in his own name to inquire about any unusual incidents that day.
It is much easier to conduct a purposeful investigation. The manager of the lobby tracked down the back kitchen and then the food transportation department. The porters who took advantage of Cheng Xin hesitated at first, but then the assistant revealed his identity to them. Analyzing the pros and cons, one or two of them didn't dare to lie again without being intimidated, and they rushed to tell the whole story of what happened that day.
After exiting the email, Cheng Feichi, who had taken two planes in one day, closed his eyes tiredly and pinched the space between his brows.
Everything was as he expected, except Yeqin's concealment.
The most frustrating thing was that he could clearly guess the reason why Ye Qin was trying to hide it from him.
Now that the matter was dealt with in advance, Cheng Feichi went to the capital to find a hotel to put down his luggage, and went directly to Ye Qin's residence.
Ye Qin was still nervous when he came to open the door, he followed behind with a new crutch and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say you will come tomorrow?"
Cheng Feichi didn't say a word, and he realized that he was slipping: "I'm just asking casually... I don't mean to welcome you."
After speaking, he took the initiative to run to the kitchen to pour water.
Cheng Feichi didn't answer it, and let a cup of hot water cool slowly on the table.
Ye Qin was sitting on pins and needles, not knowing what he said or did wrong. He was too familiar with Cheng Feichi's angry expression, he could resolve it by leaning over and kissing him in the past, but now he has no choice but to sit and worry.
After a while, the hot water on the table became completely cold. Ye Qin stood up and went to the kitchen to pour another cup. Cheng Feichi got up at the same time as him, but headed towards the master bedroom of this apartment.
Ye Qin panicked, put down the cup and turned back to Cheng Feichi's direction: "Don't, don't go in."
The living room is small but there are a lot of things piled up. The crutch was blocked by the corner of the table and fell to the ground with a "bang". The body straightened and fell forward.
Fortunately, Cheng Feichi reacted quickly and turned around to catch his body to prevent him from falling to the ground. However, the place where he fell happened to be in the corner of several wooden boxes in the living room, and Ye Qin's injured leg accidentally knocked on a hard edge, and then he groaned and his expression changed.
After helping him to sit on the sofa, Ye Qin said that it was all right and it didn't hurt. Two or three minutes later, bright red blood was faintly oozing from the snow-white gauze.
"Go, go to the hospital."
Cheng Feichi's face was even uglier than before. He supported Ye Qin to stand up. Seeing that his face was covered with cold sweat and his lips were trembling from the pain, he helped him sit back, squatted down on his own, turned his head and said, "Come up."
Ye Qin was still refusing: "It's okay, it's okay, it's been stitched up for several days, just take it apart and sterilize it..."
Cheng Feichi didn't let him finish speaking, and said sharply, "Come up!"
This was the first time Ye Qin saw Cheng Feichi being so fierce, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of oppressive anger, and his usually calm voice was raised a few degrees.
Ye Qin clenched his teeth and tried to stand up while holding on to the handrails. He didn't know if it was because of his nervousness, but his hands and feet were weak, and after trying several times, he fell back down when he was about to stand up.
He took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes weakly.
He didn't want Cheng Feichi to see his useless appearance at all, and he didn't want to gain sympathy in this situation, but since the reunion, Cheng Feichi has witnessed every desolate and miserable appearance of him. It has fallen to such a point that he can't even say "I can't, I can't stand up".
He didn't want Cheng Feichi to pity him, he wanted to stand beside him as a strong and independent person.
With such belief, Ye Qin relaxed his tense body, restrained the unconscious trembling of muscles, suppressed his panic and timidity towards the unknown, and took a deep breath with all his strength.
When he was about to stand up, his body suddenly lightened. Cheng Feichi turned around at some point, put one hand under his arm, and picked up his knees with the other, and hugged him horizontally.
On the taxi to the hospital, the two sat side by side in the back seat. Cheng Feichi put his hand on the knee of his injured leg, and asked him every two minutes how he was feeling and whether it still hurt.
In fact, it was very painful. Ye Qin was afraid that he would be worried, but also afraid that he would not be able to hide it from his eyes. He compromised that it only hurt a little.
I went to the nearest hospital to register and see a doctor. The doctor took a look at the gauze, sterilized it with alcohol, and said that the wound was cracked. He was not sure if the bone was in the way, so he asked to take an X-ray.
While waiting for the film, Cheng Feichi put Ye Qin on the chair in the corridor and sat next to him. Because he was worried that his injured leg would be put on the ground to exacerbate the injury, he was asked to lean on him crookedly, and the left half of his body was suspended in the air to avoid force.
In this posture, Ye Qin almost fell into Cheng Feichi's arms. It has been a long time since he got so close, his heart missed several beats, and his breathing was intermittent and unable to flow smoothly.
But there are also advantages. Ye Qin can't see Cheng Feichi's face in this posture, and he doesn't need to meet his eyes.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Ye Qin didn't feel much pain now, and with his cheek against Cheng Feichi's arm, he tentatively asked in a low voice: "You... are you still angry?"
About half a minute passed, just when Ye Qin thought that Cheng Feichi didn't intend to talk to him anymore, a hand with clear bones grabbed his hand in front of him, rubbed the dry and warm fingertips on the back of his hand, squeezed it lightly and let go , and then tightened his five fingers, and put the hand that was one size smaller than him in the palm of his hand.
This hand was as soft and cold as before, Cheng Feichi looked down at the pale fingertips exposed outside, and said, "I'm not angry."
Feeling the heat flowing from his hands to his limbs, Ye Qin licked his lips and summoned up his courage and said, "Then just smile, okay?"
This time, after waiting for a long time, Cheng Feichi replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
The voice still fell on the top of his head, Ye Qin couldn't see his expression, didn't know if he was smiling or not, but he could hear his vigorous and powerful heartbeat.
Just like the young man who held his hand and stuffed the paper stars into his palm in that dark and cramped car repair shop six years ago, he walked into his world leisurely with this kind of heartbeat. inside.
Then it became his whole world.
