Falling Down the Pond

Chapter 85

Simply keep silent, and when they can't dig out anything else after chewing their tongues, they will naturally give up because they are bored.

Once a person is busy, he has no time to take care of others around him. Cheng Feichi likes this state and can devote himself to his studies.

On the eve of graduation, someone spread rumors in the school, saying that his illegitimate child's identity was also fake, and the Yi family didn't recognize him at all, otherwise how could it be possible that his surname is still Cheng.

Aristocratic families are most particular about blood ties, how can they allow their own blood to use an outsider's surname? Obviously Cheng Feichi was an outsider.

There are not many people around who have good friends with him, even if he himself has never revealed his identity in public, now this kind of thing is widely spread, and if there is nothing, it becomes something. For a while, the story of "Cheng Feichi pretending to be the young master of the Yi family" was widely circulated. Some people thought he was pitiful, and some even made fun of him for his vanity.

Those who hated him were none other than those few people, and he didn't intend to pay attention to it, but this matter actually reached the ears of his mentor. The tutor devotes himself to academics, and he doesn't like students' pretentious behavior. He even returned his thesis and asked him to correct his conduct before thinking about graduating with a sullen face.

Cheng Feichi has been busy with his studies these years, and has become more and more serious. Except for the necessary communication in class, he can even not say a word for a whole day.

But that day he talked a lot, without mentioning a single word about the family affairs, but stated the viewpoints of the thesis he just wrote to the tutor from beginning to end. At first, the tutor wanted to interrupt him, but he couldn't get in, so he had to Sit and listen to him finish.

Cheng Feichi has a good attitude towards learning, and he never makes up papers to cope with things. The tutor gradually listened to it, pondered for a moment after listening, and apologized to him for his attitude of making judgments without understanding the facts just now.

In the end, to ease the atmosphere, he jokingly asked him why he was in such a hurry to return home. Could it be that he has a beautiful wife at home.

Cheng Feichi was stunned, and a face he hadn't remembered for a long time appeared in front of his eyes.

But it was only a short moment, so short that the picture was scattered before being transmitted to the central nervous system.

Cheng Feichi lowered his eyes and gave an excuse he had used many times: "There is a sick mother at home."

After several ups and downs, I finally graduated successfully in the summer of my sixth year.

Cheng Feichi did not return to the capital, but went directly to S city to take over the work that Yi Zheng entrusted to him.

This was the agreement they made five years ago, Yi Zheng would support him to study abroad, and he would help manage the family business.

The domestic media has a keen sense of smell. Soon after Cheng Feichi came back, he was secretly followed and photographed and scattered on the Internet. The common people like to read entertainment news or snoop on anecdotes about wealthy families. The public relations department of the group has a hard task. When you see this kind of content that seems to be spreading rumors, deal with it in time.

Once, because he couldn't make up his mind, the public relations department reported the content. Cheng Feichi glanced at it. This time, the place where the rumor was spread was the campus forum of Capital No. 6 Middle School.

When he was studying in No. 6 Middle School, he had never been to this forum, and his only knowledge of it came from Yeqin.

Cheng Feichi was surprised that he could think of this name calmly. He thought he had hidden it very deeply, and even if he mentioned it by chance one day, there would be no trouble in his heart.

He flipped through the post casually, and there were photos of him when he was inspecting the hotel, two of which were accidentally captured by Yan Hong. Knowing what the comments were guessing without looking at it, Cheng Feichi closed the page and said to his assistant, "It's just a campus forum with few visitors, don't worry about it."

He also dealt with several pieces of information spread on Weibo, and drew a line for the public relations department to deal with related issues in the future. The assistant picked up the documents and was about to leave. Cheng Feichi stopped her and asked, "If you become a star... I mean actors or Singer, can you see it on Weibo?"

The female assistant has just been with the new boss who came back from abroad for less than half a month, and she doesn't know much about his style of work, so she gave a conservative answer after a little thought: "Yes, most artists will open their own Weibo, you Search for the artist's name in it, and you can follow his daily dynamics."

After the assistant left, Cheng Feichi picked up his phone and clicked into the Weibo that he had just quit. His thumb hung on the screen for a long time, but he didn't type in the search box after all.

For a short period of time afterwards, Cheng Feichi was always in this state of being stuck in the past.

The reunion with Ye Qin was beyond his expectation, but it also made him inexplicably feel that all this was taken for granted.

He froze everything around him into ice and stayed on an uninhabited island for five full years. He thought he would go on like this forever, but from the first time he saw Ye Qin, all the contradictions and struggles that should not have appeared on him poured out like a flood, submerging the deserted island in an instant, as if it would take five years. Make up for the missing one-time copy.

The elevator accident that day trapped them in a small space. Ye Qin suppressed tears and explained to him the reasons for the several encounters after the reunion. off track process.

For the first time, he saw Ye Qin as soon as he stepped into the box.

When the singing sounded, even if he wasn't watching, he could immediately distinguish Ye Qin's voice from the other two.

Later, when someone left the scene, Ye Qin sat next to him, and he saw Ye Qin's hands trembling while holding the cup to drink water several times. Especially when someone at the table asked about left-handers, Ye Qin's fingertips pressing the cup wall turned bluish white due to force, and then almost choked on a sip of water, and coughed violently while covering his mouth.

Cheng Feichi thought he didn't care, and left after the banquet was as steady as before, but when he got into the car, he found that he didn't have his mobile phone with him.

He has always done things in an orderly manner, never forgetting anything, and when he turned back to the box, he deliberately ignored the surprised expression of the assistant and told himself that it was just an accident.

The second time, Cheng Xin accidentally fell when getting up from the wheelchair. The new nanny who had just taken the job called him.

Yeqin was in line for the X-ray machine when he met him. The ambulance stopped at the door, and the doctors and nurses hurriedly pushed the emergency patients to run inside. Ye Qin stood there dumbfounded for a while before backing away, tripped by his untied shoelaces.

Helping him was entirely out of Cheng Feichi's instinct, and the greetings with Ye Qin afterwards were also polite. Hearing that he injured his tailbone because of ice skating, Cheng Feichi wanted to ask him why he came to the hospital alone, but the words came to his lips. Out of place, use a word "um" instead at the end.

The third time, just as Cheng Feichi took his mother back to the capital and visited his grandparents, he just pressed the old mobile phone card when the phone rang suddenly.

Even if the number is not saved, he still responds to the ownership of this string of numbers within one second. He used to ignore this number, and only after Ye Qin's repeated emphasis did he get rid of the "bad habit" of not answering calls and not replying text messages in time. Answering this call was entirely his subconscious reaction.

I just didn't expect to hear crying.

He could be sure that Yeqin was crying. Yeqin loved face and never made a sound when crying. He could only judge from the frequency of breathing and the sound of breath when speaking.

If the shortness of breath alone wasn't enough proof, the choked up "I miss you so much, brother" not only confirmed that he was crying, but also turned into a hand holding his heart, shaking Cheng Feichi's mind for a long time Can't get back to God.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Qin came, there was a lot of chaos, but when he left, he left quietly, leaving only a polite note and a bottle of toilet water to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

Since then, every encounter has been a dramatic turnaround for Cheng Feichi.

The fourth time he got angry, and the reason was beyond his comprehension.

Maybe it was because he saw Ye Qin coming out of Tang Chong's box, maybe it was because he avoided his gaze when he saw him, or maybe it was because of his cautious attitude in the car, and the cosmetics he took out of his pocket.

When Cheng Feichi found out that he was making unreasonable troubles, he felt at a loss for this cognition. He didn't want to be dominated or swayed, so he could only purse his lips and grit his teeth to suppress this unreasonable turmoil with nowhere to go.

If a person is alone for a long time, he will inevitably become complacent and even self-willed.

Cheng Feichi thought that the weird emotions would evaporate with the passage of time, but instead of disappearing, what he couldn't see was accumulating more and more, and finally at the "fifth time" in Ye Qin's mouth, he was caught by a stick. The sharp needle punctured and made an earth-shattering explosion sound.

He lost control, he couldn't see his expression, but he knew that he must be violent and hateful, otherwise Ye Qin wouldn't be so frightened that his eyes flushed.

All his calmness and composure were torn to pieces at that moment, and drunkenness could not be used as an excuse to cover up the disguise.

For a few seconds, he even blamed Yeqin for his loss of control.

Later, he finally realized that he was not as tolerant as he thought, the more he loved, the more resentful he became, and hatred was like a drug, making people very ugly.

In that love game, he was eager to treat each other in return, longing for the sun to illuminate his cold and damp body.

His devotion has never been selfless, and he never wanted to be a maverick in the eyes of others, just like he didn't like labels like illegitimate children and school bullies.

It's like he desperately absorbs the sunshine from Yeqin, just to be an ordinary person with warmth and heartbeat.

At the end of the sixth year, Cheng Feichi personally went into battle and replaced the door locks at home with fingerprint locks.

Ye Qin's hands-on ability is average, and stacking 520 stars is already his limit, so he hardly helped the whole process, and stood by with a toolbox in hand.

The new lock hole is different from the old lock, so it is a bit laborious to install. In order to save time, after installing the outer panel, Ye Qin went to set the password first, stood outside the door and pressed it, and poked his head in from time to time to see how Cheng Feichi was doing.

Following the instruction manual to the step that could not be continued, Ye Qin clasped the door frame with both hands, revealing his round eyes: "Password... what is the password set for?"

Cheng Feichi was screwing the screw, without looking up: "Whatever."

Ye Qin retracted his head, and after a while, he said in a low voice through the door: "Then... 0215, okay?"

Cheng Feichi rolled his eyelids and replied, "Okay."

After the lock was installed, Ye Qin volunteered for the first test, asking Cheng Feichi to lock the door in the room to see if he could get in smoothly.

When the door was about to close, Ye Qin, who was standing outside, raised his hand against the door suddenly: "Wait a minute."

Cheng Feichi looked at him through the crack of the door: "What's wrong?"

Ye Qin struggled for a long time, but still felt that he had to speak. He raised his head and stared at him desperately, his eyes seemed to glisten: "If, if you can't open it, brother will open the door for me...don't let me in."

Cheng Feichi was stunned at first, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll open it for you."

Apart from the five years of separation, Yeqin didn't know many things.

For example, if you don’t know the meaning of 0215, you foolishly endow this date with other meanings, and use this string of numbers to alert yourself.

For example, on the day he didn't know that he was crying so ugly, Cheng Feichi actually opened the door and stood in the place where he squatted from the dead of night until the early morning light.

Another example is that he thought that when Cheng Feichi left, he completely threw him out of his heart. The closed door was knocked open a gap not long ago under his stalking.

Little did they know that there was no need for anyone to open the door, because he had already taken root in Cheng Feichi's heart six years ago, and the rhizomes grew downward, and they were buried deeper and deeper over the years.

He is like a sapling that cannot be pulled out, and like a sun that cannot be covered by dark clouds, he stays in this small world that belongs to him in various forms, and has never left.

Extra episode 2: I am willing

(superior)

In the autumn of this year, Yeqin had a minor operation, and the steel plate used to fix his left leg was removed.

Without further ado, Cheng Feichi arranged for him a single ward for half a month, and the hospital that he didn't live in when he broke his leg made up for it this time. After coming out of the operating room, Ye Qin lived a life of eating and sleeping enough, and within a week, he felt that he had gained a lot of weight.

The injury was on his leg, and he was supposed to be unable to move around a lot, so Yeqin just got out of bed and walked around in a limited time.

Once, lying in front of the window to bask in the sun and wind, when I heard the sound of footsteps, I rushed to the hospital bed like a monkey. Cheng Feichi was still panting when he pushed the door open, and asked him what he was doing, he took out the script from under the pillow: "I'm reciting the lines, the quarrel lines are very intense."

Cheng Feichi put down the thing and reached out to pick it up: "Let me see how intense it is."

Ye Qin bit the bullet and handed him the script. Cheng Feichi flipped through it, saw something, and smiled inexplicably, "Well, it's quite intense."

Ye Qin took it back and looked at it, the page stayed on the plot where the heroine was passionately pursuing the heroine and gave flowers and breakfast, which reminded him of some past events, his cheeks were hot with embarrassment, and he said coyly: "This is acting, Not really chasing."

Cheng Feichi raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want to chase after him?"

"No way!" Excited, Ye Qin pulled down the script covering his face, and then his eyes didn't know where to go, his eyes rolled around, and his voice became weak, "I only chased you... Very intense."

The smile on Cheng Feichi's face was even stronger, and he turned back and rubbed Ye Qin's wind-torn hair: "Understood. Have a good rest and don't run around."

Ye Qin felt that he might be a monkey in Cheng Feichi's eyes, and his purpose was to make him laugh. This was the case in the past, and it is still the case now.

Especially when recalling the first date back then, none of the funny movies could make him laugh, and it was not as effective as a casual sentence I said. Thinking of this, Ye Qin felt both happy and complicated. The happy thing was that he was unique, and the complicated thing was that Cheng Feichi could see through the meaning behind his words and deeds.

Although there is nothing wrong with it, it may be that he has been too busy recently, he has nothing to do and thinks about it, and feels a little bit at a loss.

Because he could never see through what Cheng Feichi was thinking, unless Cheng Feichi was willing to reveal it.

For example, in the last week, Cheng Feichi was obviously busier than before. He was leaving after staying in the ward for a while, and he didn't stay overnight. When asked why he was there, he said he had a job.

Ye Qin is not stupid, where can he go to work at night

Yesterday he didn't come at all, and ordered his assistant to deliver bone soup. Ye Qin asked insincerely, but the assistant's sister kept her mouth shut: "Mr. Cheng's activities outside of work are not within the scope of my responsibility."

Ye Qin responded with a smile on his face, turned his head and narrowed his eyes and thought, sure enough, he is not working, and sure enough he is hiding something from me!

Cheng Feichi came the next day, but he still sat for a while before leaving. Ye Qin sat on the bed and watched him leave, silent for tens of seconds, jumped out of the bed and went out, followed Cheng Feichi down the stairs, turned, turned again, and then... watched him enter the hospital building opposite.

When it was confirmed that Cheng Feichi had left the hospital, Ye Qin returned to the ward he had just entered, and two nurses were pushing out a cart full of medicines.

Standing at the door and looking inside, it was also a single ward. The ventilator and heart rate monitor beside the bed indicated that the patient was in poor condition. Even under the quilt, it could be seen that the whole human body was torn apart under the torment of the disease.

The man was woken up by the nurse and turned his face slightly, Ye Qin saw that face with slightly dilated pupils.

I didn't expect Cheng Xin to look like this after not seeing her for half a year.

Half a year ago, Cheng Xin came to the door once.

At that time, she had already been transferred from city S to the capital for treatment. Perhaps she had calculated the time correctly. At that time, Cheng Feichi was working outside, and Ye Qin had just returned from school after class, and bumped into him again at the elevator entrance.

Ye Qin tried his best to calmly introduce him into the house, and was thinking about how to deal with the possible difficulties, when Cheng Xin asked, "Are you two married?"

Ye Qin was stunned for a moment, and replied truthfully: "No."

Cheng Xin put on a surprised expression: "After all, he still cares about me as a mother more than you."

It doesn't matter what we talked about next, and I can't remember how I sent people away in the end. After leaving the tea to cool down, Ye Qin sat alone in the room for a while, holding in his hand the script of the one-person sketch that will pass the test tomorrow, but he couldn't read it.

It wasn't until Cheng Feichi came back at night that he adjusted his state and pretended nothing happened.

Later, Cheng Feichi heard about it from the nanny, and asked Ye Qin if he had heard anything nasty. Ye Qin shook his head like a rattle, insisting that he hadn't, saying that Cheng Xin was just here to care about the lives of the two of them, Cheng Feichi saw that he was in a natural state, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Regarding obtaining a marriage certificate, neither of them took the initiative to mention it on weekdays. Ye Qin habitually let Cheng Feichi make up his mind about this kind of matter. If Cheng Feichi didn't mention it, he couldn't think of it. We all live together, and the ring is put on, and getting a certificate is just a piece of paper, which is not that important to him.

But since Cheng Xin came, in the next few months, the word "marriage" popped up in Ye Qin's mind from time to time. and Liao Yifang's wedding invitation.

Although there was no big deal, it was just a gathering of a few friends, Ye Qin felt jealous and envious for the first time when he saw the marriage certificate of the two of them. uneasy.

Seeing Cheng Xin lying on the hospital bed dying, Ye Qin suddenly felt ashamed. Cheng Feichi is so busy and has to take care of two patients, he is already tired enough, so it is better not to cause him any more trouble.

Back in the ward, I had a video chat with Cheng Feichi. Cheng Feichi was on his way to an unavoidable entertainment, and he seriously apologized for being too busy to accompany him in the past few days, and said that he would take him out to play when he was free for a while.

Ye Qin didn't know what to say to tell him not to care about his feelings so much. After hanging up the video, he stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while, and after recovering, he called Zhou Feng.

"Xueba's mother is hospitalized in the same hospital as you? Then you should go and see it if you feel reasonable. That's your mother-in-law."

Ye Qin said worryingly: "But I don't have a good relationship with her. As soon as we meet, the smoke of gunpowder will fill the air... What if she sees me and gets angry and affects her body?"

"Didn't you say that she was so ill that she couldn't even open her eyes?" Zhou Feng suggested, "Look at it quietly, put down your things and leave, and let people know that you have been there."

Ye Qin felt that this trick was okay, so he ordered flower and fruit baskets online the next day, and ordered Zhou Feng to choose a few boxes of nutritional products to deliver. In the afternoon, he put on a coat and went to the hospital building next door to visit the sick with big bags and small bags. up.

He made a lot of calculations, the inpatient department was the quietest at this point, the nurses were busy with their shifts, and the patients were resting, so he might not even need to meet Cheng Xin face to face.

Unexpectedly, he opened the door and went in. The ventilator was withdrawn at some time. Cheng Xin was leaning on the bedside and reading a book. When he heard the movement at the door, he looked up and met Ye Qin face to face.

Ye Qin was stunned all of a sudden, it was neither to go in nor to step back. Cheng Xin, on the other hand, glanced at the things in his hand and put on a gesture of hospitality: "Come in."

For the first half hour, no one spoke. Cheng Xin held the book and continued to read, Ye Qin couldn't sit still, took an apple, washed it and peeled it.

He was not good at this, and he couldn't bear to look at the good apples that had been peeled so pitted, so he threw them on the plate and left them alone, and washed two new ones and put them on the bedside.

Maybe it was Zhou Feng who mentioned those two words on the phone yesterday. Ye Qin felt inexplicably that the current situation had a sense of a mother-in-law's rule, and subconsciously did not dare to show it. Reminder.

A few minutes later, Cheng Xin closed the book. She was so angry, her voice was weak, but her words were still aggressive: "You came today, do you want to see when I die?"

Ye Qin was startled, thinking that she was a sick person, he tried his best to look calm: "No. You are my elder, I'm just here to visit."

Cheng Xin pulled the corner of his mouth, and smiled bleakly and forcedly. "You all want me dead, I know that," she said.

Ye Qin noticed that Cheng Xin today is not the same as before. Not only has he restrained his sharpness and become less aggressive, but his whole body reveals a kind of weariness for life and life, as if he is taking the best in the world now. The things she wanted were placed in front of her eyes, but she didn't want to reach out to take them.

Therefore, Ye Qin had to be more careful with his words, for fear of using the wrong word, which would cause harm to her who was so fragile.

Even so, he still objected: "No, at least Cheng Feichi must not be." He seldom called Cheng Feichi's full name directly, and he felt awkward. He paused for a moment, adjusted his tone, and then said, "You are his mother. , you are sick, he is the most uncomfortable."

There seemed to be a flash of surprise in Cheng Xin's eyes, then he closed his eyes, leaned his neck on the pillow, and turned his head to face the window.

Ye Qin stood up, thought for a while and decided to finish his sentence: "Actually, you all know that you just don't want to admit it. He would rather hurt himself than hurt you. This is enough to show that you The weight in your heart. I hope you take care of your health, even for the sake of his hard work these years... even to prevent me from being with him."

(middle)

After all, wishes are just wishful thinking of human beings, and fate has never given anyone an extra chance.

Cheng Xin failed to survive this winter and passed away on a misty morning.

The funeral was organized by Cheng Feichi, and Yi Zheng didn't show up until the next afternoon in order to avoid the Cheng family. Unexpectedly, Cheng Feichi's grandparents didn't leave the mourning hall all night. When they saw him, they rushed up to beat him, shouting "give me back my daughter" as if venting, and gave up after a while, covering their faces helplessly and crying.

They knew it was useless to do so, no matter how much they fought, their daughter would never come back.

It was two days after Cheng Feichi comforted the two elderly people and sent them home. Ye Qin put off work early and waited for him at home, and when he came back, he followed him stickily, asking him if he wanted to eat or drink tea, whether his back was sore or his legs hurt, and whether he should sit down and give him a massage.

"No need." Cheng Feichi refused all of them, took off the black coat on his body, and there was no extra expression on his face except tiredness, "You can eat dinner by yourself, I want to sleep for a while."

Yeqin did not attend the funeral because he was a public figure. He felt that he couldn't help, so he had to spend his thoughts elsewhere, bought vegetables and stewed soup, and prepared a lot of heart-warming words to say to his brother, trying to tell him not to be sad. In the end, it didn't come in handy. Cheng Feichi didn't want to eat, and he didn't look sad, and didn't need his comfort.

Ye Qin ate a few mouthfuls of food by himself, and after taking a shower, he planned to go to sleep in the next room without disturbing Cheng Feichi's rest, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, his heart pounded and he always felt restless. In the middle of the night, he tiptoed back to the master bedroom, lifted the quilt and climbed onto the bed, put his arms around Cheng Feichi's waist, who was lying on his side, in a protective posture, and then fell asleep.

The next day Feichi woke up, pinned down by an arm and a leg.

He turned around and woke up the people around him. Before Ye Qin could fully open his eyes, he hugged Cheng Feichi's arm and asked nervously, "Where are you going?"

Cheng Feichi: "The bathroom."

Ye Qin hesitantly let go of his hand and got out of bed together.

When Cheng Feichi came out of the bathroom, Ye Qin was still standing at the door like a door god, almost knocking his head on the wall when he was so sleepy, when he heard the door opening he hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and asked him what he would like to eat in the morning.

Maybe it was because he was exhausted these days, and the sudden relaxation made Cheng Feichi a little at a loss. He still had no appetite, so he had to go back to his room to rest after drinking a bowl of rice porridge. Ye Qin said, "I haven't slept enough and want to sleep some more." After sitting on the bed with him, he took out the A picture book, read it decently as a bedtime story.

Cheng Feichi loves to read, and sometimes Ye Qin will accompany him to read at night.

In order to avoid falling asleep while watching, Ye Qin specially bought a stack of illustrated picture books and put them on the bookshelf, together with Cheng Feichi's pile of professional books, adding a lot of bright colors to the dull bookshelf.

The book I picked up today is called "The Love Tree". On the cover of the green leather is a villain and a tree, and the inside pages are black and white stick figures with simple and easy-to-understand words. Ye Qin felt something was wrong after reading a few pages, and closed it and said he wanted to change another one, but was stopped by Cheng Feichi.

"I'll read it." Cheng Feichi said, "Lie down and listen."

Ye Qin felt drowsy as soon as his head touched the pillow, and at first he would say "hmm" from time to time, but as Cheng Feichi read it, he gradually became silent. Soon, apart from the deliberately suppressed sound of reading, there was only the sound of slow and steady breathing in the air.

After closing the book, Cheng Feichi saw "Children's Literature for 3-6 Years Old" written on the back of the book, and put the book down helplessly.

When I turned my head to tuck Ye Qin in the blanket, I found that his eye sockets were red and there was a wet tear on his eyelashes.

It was already noon when he woke up again, and this time he was woken up again by a strange movement in his palm.

Cheng Feichi rolled his eyes to look at Ye Qin's furry hair on his chest, and felt the scar on his palm lightly touched by his soft lips, it was a little itchy and warm.

When he got up and changed his clothes, Cheng Feichi wondered if it was necessary to explain to Ye Qin again, to let him know that the wound had nothing to do with him. Pushing open the door and going out, I saw Yeqin wandering around the kitchen and living room like a little bee. After a while, a table of dishes was served.

As soon as he sat down, Ye Qin slapped his forehead: "You can't eat meat dishes at this time, right? I, I, I quickly moved away, and you pretended you didn't see it."

As he said that, he stood up to clean up, but Cheng Feichi held down his wrist: "Leave it alone, there is no need to remove it."

It was a very quiet meal.

Ye Qin hated himself for being clumsy and clumsy, and he thought it would be better to talk less. Cheng Feichi concentrated on tasting and gave the chef a lot of face, without frowning once.

After eating, Yeqin took the initiative to peel the fruit. Because his technique was too bad, even with a plane, the peel would fly around. He squatted in front of the trash can and held his breath, holding an apple more focused than he was on the college entrance examination paper, so that Cheng Feichi spoke He couldn't hear clearly for a while.

"What?" he asked, tilting his ear.

Cheng Feichi was in the living room less than five meters away from him, and said in a steady voice, "Let's get married."

Yeqin's hands trembled, and he peeled off a large piece of flesh.

Picking up the apple peel that fell on the ground and throwing it into the trash can, he still didn't dare to look back at Cheng Feichi's expression.

His voice was trembling unceasingly, Ye Qin controlled himself, just nodded his head, and replied in an unusual tone: "Hey, good."

The two of them are not considered ordinary people in the true sense in their respective fields of work. Naturally, such a big matter as marriage cannot be said and left.

Ye Qin, in particular, had to say hello to his manager.

When Zheng Yueyue heard this, she was silent for half a minute, and the first question she asked was: "Secret marriage or public?"

"He said he listened to me." Ye Qin asked tentatively, "If I want to make it public, sister Yueyue, do you agree?"

Zheng Yueyue didn't veto it outright: "If you want to, it's not impossible."

Since Ye Qin was admitted to the Capital Film Academy, he turned down many filming invitations and tried not to miss any professional class, which changed the inherent vase impression of many passers-by. Although the two dramas I received this year did not have the leading role, they can be regarded as the drama of a famous director who is famous for his strictness. In addition to a TV series that has already been broadcast, Ye Qin's acting skills in it have received a lot of praise. Positioning is on the way from idol to power faction.

And it's better to get married in a serious way than to adopt rumors, so Zheng Yueyue feels that there is room for negotiation to disclose this matter, but it is necessary to find a good time, not now.

Ye Qin was already very happy to get such an answer. For him, as long as it is possible, he can work hard to overcome the obstacles, and immediately gave Sister Yueyue a meme.

The day before receiving the certificate, Ye Qin thought about it and went to Chengdong Prison anyway.

"I'm getting married." He said to Ye Jinxiang on the other side of the iron fence in an announcing tone.

When Ye Jinxiang heard the news, he was far less calm than his son. He stood up from the chair and asked anxiously, "With whom? Which girl? How old are you and what are you doing?"

Ye Qin dismissed his belated paternal love and said, "It's not a girl, a man."

Ye Jinxiang was silent for a while, and asked, "Do I know you?"

"You know him." Ye Qin told the truth, "Cheng Feichi, my classmate in the next class in high school."

Ye Jinxiang opened his mouth, with a surprised expression on his face, then he sat back slowly and looked at Ye Qin with a smile on his face: "You are not young anymore, if you think it's good, that's fine, and your mother must think it's good too."

Originally, I wanted to anger the old man, but he accepted it so easily.

Ye Qin was listless the next day, thinking it was because his childish provocation was not satisfied.

When he arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, he wore a mask and followed Cheng Feichi, taking a number and queuing up like everyone else.

Cheng Feichi was tall and had an eye-catching appearance. Even standing at the end of the line, he was still an eye-catching presence. Several people in front turned to look at him. He himself didn't seem to notice it, standing in the line and looking ahead, occasionally turning his head to ask Ye Qin next to him if he was tired, and if he wanted to sit beside him for a while.

There were a lot of people today, and it seemed that they would have to wait a while before their turn, Cheng Feichi asked, "Are you thirsty? I'll go buy you something to drink."

Ye Qin shook his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not thirsty or tired, so don't worry about me."

Cheng Feichi looked at him for a while and said, "You are not happy."

It is an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

Ye Qin was taken aback: "No, why am I unhappy? I have been waiting for a day for a long time, how can I be unhappy."

He didn't realize that the more he explained, the more he covered up. Cheng Feichi stared at him for a while, and said, "You're just not happy. You can tell me if you have anything to do. It's okay if you don't end today, I won't force you."

Ye Qin was frightened by the word "not married", and grabbed Cheng Feichi's hand hanging by his side, as if afraid that he would run away: "You proposed to me, if you don't want to marry me now, I will, I will, just …”

After "just" for a long time, nothing came out, Ye Qin's exposed eyes gradually turned red, and he looked extremely wronged.

They found a coffee shop near the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the two sat face to face.

When he heard Ye Qin talk about his worries, Cheng Feichi's first reaction was still to laugh: "Do you think I mentioned marriage at this time because of impulsiveness?"

Ye Qin rubbed his hands under the table fiercely, staring at him and said, "It's hard, isn't it?"

Cheng Feichi restrained his smile, tapped the table with his right index finger a few times, and said after thinking, "Instead of directly denying it, why don't you tell me why you didn't mention marriage before. The main reason is that I don't know how much marriage will affect your career." I must, like your agent, try to avoid risks for you."

Ye Qin's eyes widened. This is completely different from what he thought. He thought it would be for other reasons, such as sending Cheng Xin away and finally being able to get married without any burden.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, he was afraid of bringing up Cheng Feichi's sad memories. In the few days after Cheng Xin's death, even though Cheng Feichi tried his best not to show it, Ye Qin could still see his fragility and confusion hidden under his strong exterior.

Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't care. How could he not be sad that his mother who had depended on each other for so many years was gone

Ye Qin found reasons for him on his own, and persuaded himself to accept it, but he couldn't ignore the lump in his heart no matter what. Marriage should have been sacred and pure. It should not have been planned, or it should have been accompanied by other concerns.

He felt that he was extremely contradictory. He was delighted by Cheng Feichi's rare "impulse", but also frustrated and disappointed by this step-by-step arrangement that was completely expected.

"Then...then why..." Ye Qin didn't know what he wanted to ask, he had too many questions to ask, but his tongue was tied up, wishing Cheng Feichi could read his heart.

Cheng Feichi doesn't know how to read minds, he just said what was in his mind: "At first, I thought that the two of us don't need these formal things, whether it's a tattoo or a so-called certificate of marriage."

He is not good at interpreting too much of his subconscious behavior. He stopped to think for a while, then looked at Yeqin who was still in a daze, and said, "But I later found out that I don't need it doesn't mean you don't need it. If so If it can make you feel at ease, I am willing to do it.”

The two returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau again. The girl who registered at the counter saw the two of them holding hands and said with a smile, "I figured it out so quickly? Do you want to save five minutes for you? I'll take a photo and cover it later." Zhang Ke can't go back on his word."

Thinking of leaving the team when he was about to line up at the counter just now, Ye Qin was so ashamed that he hid behind Cheng Feichi, and defended in a low voice through a mask: "I don't regret it... I just went out for a cup of coffee just now."

Taking the completed registration form to take pictures, after Ye Qin took off his mask, the female staff next to him shouted in surprise: "Ah, this is not—" she stopped halfway through the shouting, and raised her index finger to "shh", "Don't worry, you two, we have a confidentiality policy here, and we won't let others know."

I don't know if it was because of being recognized, but Ye Qin was inexplicably nervous. He had been in and out of the studio all year round, but he couldn't let go of this ordinary camera, his neck was stiff and his smile was particularly stiff.

It is rare for the photographer to see such a good-looking newlywed couple, and he wanted to take a good photo of them, saying that this photo would be kept for a lifetime, and ordered them to keep their heads closer and their smiles curved more naturally.

However, the more this happened, the more Yeqin couldn't relax.

He took another deep breath, and suddenly felt the hand on his side being held. Cheng Feichi moved closer, and whispered in his ear, "Ye Xiaoruan, smile."

As he spoke, his slender fingers inserted between Ye Qin's fingers one by one, and then he closed his hands, with the fingertips clinging to the back of Ye Qin's hand. In addition to the temperature, you can even feel the speed of the blood gurgling under the flesh.

A sudden gust of wind in his mind blew Ye Qin's thoughts back to the playground of the sixth middle school that year. Under the national flag, surrounded by classmates and teachers, they secretly intertwined their hands behind their backs, and kept calm on their faces, for fear of being spotted by anyone.

But now there is no need for it, they belong to each other openly from body to heart, from soul to form.

Ye Qin took a deep breath, grinned at Cheng Feichi, turned his face to face the camera, and the photographer happened to capture this scene.

In the photos that came out, one of the two seemed to be calm, but actually had a gentle face and a smile in his eyes, the other tilted his head and leaned on the shoulder of the person next to him, smiling brightly, his eyes were like the only one that pierced through the clouds and mist in the cold winter. Clusters of sunshine.

(Down)

In the early summer of this year, the two went up the mountain to visit the grave together.

Cheng Feichi put down the bouquet, and after the worship, he left space for Ye Qin to talk more with his dead mother.

In fact, Ye Qin didn't have anything to say, he usually told his mother everything in his heart. This time, apart from telling her that Ye Jinxiang will be released from prison in the second half of the year, the only thing left is to introduce her to her marriage partner.

"Mom, I don't know if you still remember, you used to answer his phone. He was in the class next to me at the time, and his grades were very good.
