Although they were in the same police car, the two did not speak much. On the one hand, it was because Roman was also in the car - he was directly stuffed into the trunk by the Moscow note, and he didn't see any movement as if he was dead. On the other hand, it was because Ye Ji'an saw Liang Xiao's current state, and his hands were all broken. The nosebleed could not stop for a long time, and his face was ugly as if he had eaten three large plates of bitter gourd. He really should be quiet for a while, not suitable for chatting.
Of course, he himself is not in the mood to talk nonsense, two-to-many, who can not win the prize? Apart from a little skin trauma, his jaw was also very painful, and he felt that his old waist was a little dangling. Maybe after returning to China, he would have to find a master from the Naval General Hospital to fix his bones. At that time, it is necessary to arrange the expert number before dawn. It is too expensive to see it once. It may not be free before the year, and when the old experts do not go to work during the Spring Festival holiday, Ye Ji'an starts to worry again.
He even just wanted to get back on the plane quickly, lie down in his house for a few days, cook some quick-frozen dumplings and eat them with sweet and sour soy sauce.
After getting out of the police car, the police came up to lead the gap, and Ye Ji'an had already finished thinking about death every day. He handed his coat to Liang Xiao, and just dropped it on the ground and got some snow, which melted in the car and felt a little damp. "Wear it," he said.
Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes seemed to have just returned to the real world, he refused to answer, "No need, senior."
Ye Ji'an put the coat directly on his shoulders with a "don't be embarrassed with me" expression, "The shirts are all torn up, why don't you wear one layer of autumn clothes and one layer of cashmere sweater now?"
"Senior wearing it?"
"I wore three layers," Ye Ji'an seemed a little embarrassed, and followed the police to the police station without looking back: "I didn't learn from you!"
He thought, Liang Xiao is not an awkward person, so he wouldn't hold the coat all the time and refuse to put it on. Although the size may be one size smaller, it should not delay heating. He also thinks it won't be long before we meet again, like two or three hours? At that time, 80% of the other colleagues will be sober, and they will come to pick them up together.
However, the next meeting was delayed until the morning two days later. Regarding the fight, Liang Xiao and Ye Ji'an both expressed that they did not want to appeal to the court or alarm the embassy. They were separated into different rooms. All the people negotiating were Slavic men, and only a small number of them could speak English. Ye Ji'an was a little worried. It was the first time he entered the game, and once he entered, he also entered a foreign country, and it was not clear when he would be released.
He even began to feel that he was helpless, and had a sense of utter desolation in his heart that he was about to die in a foreign country.
Fortunately, after seeing the sun for more than 30 hours, he regained his freedom. It is said that Roman is still in temporary custody, while Liang Xiao packed up his things a few minutes before him and waited for him in the police station lobby. The first thing he did was to return the coat. The other four colleagues also came, almost surrounded, and they welcomed Ye Ji'an into the car, especially Lao Chen, who seemed to have completely forgotten all the love and hatred he heard in the dark alley when he was drunk. Looking at Ye Ji'an, holding Liang Xiao in one hand, she was silent with two tears, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence. When you return to China, you must invite these two enthusiastic guys to dinner.
Ye Ji'an smiled and said, "No, no."
Liang Xiao also smiled: "Thank you, Deputy Director Chen."
Ye Ji'an glanced at him out of the corner of the eye, suspecting that the man had already thought about which restaurant to kill Lao Chen.
Xiao Li has already booked a flight ticket, and the departure is in the afternoon. The first thing is to go straight to the hotel to pack the luggage, and the second thing is to go straight to the airport. The two trips were not short, and Ye Ji'an sat in the last row, next to Liang Xiao, as he had done many days before.
The two were still speechless.
To be precise, it was Liang Xiao who did not speak. And when he was silent, Ye Ji'an didn't know what to say, without those unrestrained ideas and strange concerns. It was only then that he found out that this part of the two people... how do you say it is in friendship? Those fine things, like the lubrication on the gears, have always been sprinkled by Liang Xiao. Then if it is not spilled, will the machine fall apart after one day or two days
It's hard for Ye Ji'an to see any real emotions from Liang Xiao's face. I can see that he can still be serious and laugh. Everything is normal except that he talks less. The good news is that the ex is dead, and not everyone's breakup will be as peaceful as he and his ex-girlfriend. For Liang Xiao, he could be stalked by his ex on a business trip, and the unpleasantness happened, which messed up the schedule of himself and his colleagues. Take it slow, relax and relax, and it will be fine, right
Will it be
Ye Ji'an spent the time he should have thought about how to deal with the general manager. He found that lubrication was secondary, and he was more concerned about Liang Xiao's mental state. As a boss who wanted to be qualified, he felt that this was his own responsibility. As a friend, he was closer than usual. , he felt that he could not let go. The first-class cabin on the flight back home was sold out. He and his colleagues were crammed into the business seat. Liang Xiao was separated from him by the aisle. , the surrounding passengers fell asleep, and Ye Ji'an was still very awake.
He saw Liang Xiao put down the computer, got up and walked back, so he made a last perfunctory struggle in his heart.
Within two minutes, he also got up and walked to the back row. In the transition area between business class and economy class, that is, next to the escape passage at the door of the bathroom, he and Liang Xiao met face to face.
"Senior." Liang Xiao nodded at him, then staggered and went back to his cabin.
"Wait a minute," Ye Ji'an clasped his wrist. The water droplets from his hands hadn't fallen off, and his palms were wet.
"Well," Liang Xiao looked back at him, "Senior, hurry up and get some sleep."
Ye Ji'an immediately regained his senses, and let go of his hand and pinched the seam of his trousers. He seemed a little embarrassed, "I didn't come to the toilet."
"Oh." Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"Do you... have anything to tell me?" Ye Ji'an took a deep breath. "If you have any troubles, worries, or something you can't figure out, you can tell me."
"Aren't seniors tired?"
"Not sleepy." Ye Ji'an can be said to be full of energy.
Liang Xiao turned around completely. He leaned against the wall, slightly retracted his chin, and looked at Ye Ji'an attentively, "I really want to have a chat with senior, I've been thinking about it a lot these days, and I don't know if I've figured it out clearly. , will he say some stupid things?"
"So you just kept silent?"
"Almost," Liang Xiao gave a very shallow smile, "Is it too late to say anything now?"
"Tell me." Ye Ji'an also smiled, and he felt a lot more at ease.
"Senior, do you still remember me getting dizzy? Actually, I didn't have this problem before," after a pause, Liang Xiao began his narration, "When I was very young, my mother took my brother to go abroad. She treated her own disease, esophagus cancer, my brother I went to school there. When I graduated from junior high school at the age of 14, I went to find them by myself. Only then did I find that my brother had been living at the school and rarely came home. My mother was basically alone, and she would not let me live at home. I quickly contacted the accommodation, rented a room next to the high school, and even hired a nanny to monitor me." After that, his eyes flashed, seeing Ye Ji'an's expression, he was a little uneasy.
"You said." Ye Ji'an said.
Liang Xiao pinched the bridge of her nose, "It was less than a year later? I went home to get something and saw her lying on the sofa as if she was drunk, with a syringe stuck in her wrist."
Ye Ji'an sinks down, taking drugs? He really didn't want to speculate on that.
But seeing Liang Xiao looking at the darkness outside the porthole, he added: "She said she was too sick to let me tell my dad, and of course she wouldn't let me call the police, or she would kill herself. And my brother already knew that. I asked him what to do about this matter, and he said the same thing as my mother, and said that morphine was used in the hospital for pain relief. I knew this was wrong, but I kept hesitating, hesitating, and finally did nothing. , and then a few months later, my mother died of a drug overdose, and it was in her house that no one found out. After a few weeks, my brother jumped off the building and appeared in the New York newspaper. "
Ye Ji'an was speechless for a while. It really hurts to say that this kind of thing doesn't concern him. However, with the calmness in his heart that he is still working, he feels that listening silently is the best respect.
Liang Xiao looked away from the porthole and landed on Ye Ji'an's face again. He said softly, "Actually, this whole thing has many opportunities to salvage. Seeing that my mother is unremarkable, I take it for granted that it is because of cancer. I didn't notice that she had so many needles. Later, even if I found out that she was taking drugs, I still didn't do anything. I was so frightened that they all died. My dad didn't even blame me, and came to read two books with me. high school."
"Do you think he should blame you?" Ye Ji'an approached him, beside him, facing the opposite wall with him, just like in a smoking room.
"I don't know. I just don't like injections anymore," Liang Xiao shook his head. "I haven't finished talking yet. And about Roman," he laughed suddenly, his hands hanging by his sides, as if he didn't care. " Maybe I just can't get through with drugs? I first met him on a reptile forum, and we both raised a lot of lizards to guard the palace. Later, we found out that they were all in New York, and they seemed to be crooked. together."
"Yeah." Ye Ji'an nodded lightly.
"It should have started at the age of 18. I was sure that I was gay. Roman was studying in an art academy, studying oil painting, and I had been studying finance. There were not many topics and often quarreled, but overall, I was more happy than painful. Later, once, It's also that I forgot to bring something, and I went home when I shouldn't, and saw five or six people lying on my carpet, haha, it was exactly the same as my mother's state back then."
Ye Ji'an tried to squeeze his shoulder, "It was when you were twenty-one or two years old."
"Well." Liang Xiao lowered his eyelashes, his shoulders could not relax no matter what, "At that time, he was very busy with his studies, and he was very smart. He knew that if the needle was not inserted in an obvious place, I didn't find anything. I exited the room and closed the door. Lock it from the outside, and then call the police. I heard him and his friends slamming on the door inside, crying and begging me, they dare not jump in the apartment with more than 20 floors, and the police will come and take them all away soon. ."
"Senior, I don't think I made repeated mistakes, and I don't regret it." The conclusion was hastily.
"I agree." Ye Jian said.
"I don't want anyone to smoke again and die in my house." Liang Xiao said again.
"I understand." Ye Ji'an turned to look at him. "You are doing the right thing. If you put it on me, I'm not sure I can be as decisive as you."
Liang Xiao opened his mouth and said nothing.
Ye Ji'an kept his eyes fixed, "What's more, you are suffering because of this matter, and the pain is so heavy and long that it seems that no one can share it, this is normal, no one can say you are wrong, that you are hypocritical I don't know how to be strong."
Liang Xiao's eyes suddenly turned red.
Ye Ji'an tried her best to appear calm and opened her arms, "Hugging? It should be useful. You've been too depressed these days, I don't think so."
However, in fact, when he said it, he was actually a little uneasy, and even felt incredible for Liang Xiao - is this a relief or a comfort? Why did he just want to hug Liang Xiao like this, maybe he was addicted to hugging in bed. But his doubts were quickly dispelled. Liang Xiao probably didn't want to be seen with a wet and humiliating look at the corners of his eyes, so he hugged Ye Ji'an very hard, and Ye Ji'an put his chin on his shoulder and put his chin on his waist, "Hahaha. , the stewardess will come to arrest us later."
"It doesn't matter." Liang Xiao was very determined.
"I'm quite surprised that you told me these things," Ye Ji'an rubbed his back, giving him some comfort, "but it's also a little...how to say, I'm really happy, I feel like I'm being trusted."
"It's all over, and it won't hurt forever. But it's true that my personal affairs have caused a lot of trouble to seniors, and I want to explain it clearly." Liang Xiao's voice was muffled, and it came from behind Ye Jian's ears. It is a long-lost angle, "It will be a lot of things to go back to the company."
"It's okay, we have all reported safety insurance, and maybe we will pay us money when we go back. Besides, in the final analysis, it is not our fault, and the leaders will not embarrass us."
"It's my fault. I should have made it clear earlier and reminded you."
"Besides, I'm bored."
Liang Xiao seemed to be hesitant to say anything. He rubbed at Ye Ji'an's temple for the last time, and finally let him go. With red eyes, he said, "Go back to sleep then."
Ye Ji'an looked at his bunny-like appearance, and suddenly gathered up courage in his heart, he said, "We have to wait."
"What's wrong?"
"That poem, are you still going to read it to me?"
"I-"
Ye Ji'an's eyes didn't evade, "You need to be emotional."
Liang Xiao looked serious and thoughtful. Soon, he regained his calmness and steadiness, "Okay. Seniors should listen carefully."
Ye Jian deliberately pulled two of his earlobes and smiled at him.
Liang Xiao still had a serious face, cleared his throat and straightened his collar, stood up straight, and spoke in a deep voice, just like a high school student standing in front of the stage in a poetry recitation competition, and when he read a sentence in Russian, Ye Ji'an was in his heart. Follow the translation of a sentence silently, if the heart can make a sound, you can hear them read aloud together:
"И сердце бьется в упоенье," my heart jumped in ecstasy.
"И для него воскресли вновь," for it, everything wakes up again.
"И божество, и вдохновенье," With people who are in love, there is inspiration for poetry.
“И жизнь, и слезы, и любовь.”
"With life, tears, and love." Ye Ji'an said the last sentence.
Liang Xiao's eyes widened instantly.
"I'm sorry," Ye Ji'an raised his hand in surrender, "I thought you didn't intend to translate for me before getting on the plane, so I checked it myself."
He looked like he was joking with a smile, but in fact, it was to hide his embarrassment and nervousness. It could be judged by the heat on his face that he must be flushed now. The translation of these short four sentences ran rampant in his heart for several hours, making him almost unable to hold his boarding pass before boarding the plane, so Liang Xiao also rampaged in his heart for so long, and now, no matter what it is, it is all He was already gushing out, and he did say it, in a way that he was unprepared for.
Ambiguity, ambiguous, ambiguous, Ye Ji'an thought, ambiguous is indeed here, you can't see it. It can kill you.
Liang Xiao's direct and moving eyes made his heart beat faster than when he was pouring five cups of espresso a day.
"Hey, don't keep silent..." Ye Ji'an leaned against the wall tightly, he knew that he was about to be cowardly.
"...Go back to sleep now?" he said dryly.
But seeing Liang Xiao still the same, neither saying a word, nor going back to sleep, it could be said that he didn't listen to everything he said, Liang Xiao just pushed him half a step towards the corner, cupped his face with both hands, without blinking. Looking down at him, he approached slowly, concentrating as if he had fallen into some kind of magic stun that could not be stopped, only the dark tide was surging under the calm sea. The next second, a kiss landed on his lips, too soft and too short, just a simple touch, not even caught off guard. Liang Xiao gave him plenty of time to escape, but Ye Ji'an did not move at all.
He only felt that his current breathing should be very moving.
"Does it feel bad?" Liang Xiao put down his arms and took a half step back, his ears were red, how could he be arrogant and confident at work.
"Senior?" he said again.
Ye Ji'an stopped stunned and touched his lips.
The light in Liang Xiao's eyes dimmed, and the scratches on his cheeks also seemed sluggish, and he looked like he was about to apologize.
Ye Jian stopped the apology before it happened. He felt that he was suddenly powerful, but he also suddenly became very stupid. If he didn't grasp it hard, everything would flow through his fingers, so he took that step, He pressed Liang Xiao's shoulder with one hand, grabbed his collar with the other, put his face on tiptoe, opened his mouth, and caught the two thin dry lips.
