Liu Chen was not familiar with this business, and fearing that the other party would be too slow, Qin Man called another friend he knew. By the time everything is settled, it will be half an hour.
Qin Man then took off his coat and walked towards the bedroom.
Ji Ran didn't lock the door, he never had this habit. As soon as Qin Man entered, he smelled the wine in the room.
The temperature of the air conditioner in the room is a little low, the lights are not turned on, only the TV in front of the bed is on, and the video quality played on it is not good, and it has a sense of age.
Ji Ran just sat on the ground, leaning against the wooden plank of the bed, drinking one sip after another.
The light from the TV hit Ji Ran's cheeks, and he could see that his eyes were flushed with some water, which made Qin Man's heart soften.
This is the second time Qin Man has watched him cry in a place other than the bed.
Hearing the movement, Ji Ran squeezed the pitiful tears back and said sideways, "Didn't I not let you in?"
The words are polite, but the tone is weak, and it doesn't sound like they really want to drive people away.
Qin Man walked over and sat down: "I'll drink with you."
"Even if you drink beer, how poor are you. No, I don't have enough to drink myself." Ji Ran turned his head, continued to look at the screen, and raised the bottle to take a sip.
Qin Manyi said, did not touch his wine, just sat quietly.
On the screen, the woman was wearing an apron and was cooking, and a soft and waxy "Mom" suddenly came out in the background. The woman turned her head back immediately, and her beautiful face was fully revealed in the video, just like Zhao Qingtong, who used the photo to post on Weibo today.
Zhao Qingtong walked out of the camera with a gentle voice: "What's wrong, Xiao Ran?"
"When can Xiao Ran go to the amusement park?" The little boy's voice was immature, he sounded only five or six years old, and he couldn't even pronounce his words clearly, "Brother Ji Wei said, it's very fun there, but he said I can't go there. Why can't Xiao Ran go?"
There was a long silence in the video.
"Mom, mom?" The little boy seemed panicked, "Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?"
"...No, Xiao Ran didn't do anything wrong, Xiao Ran is the best. It's my mother who just cut the cooking, it hurts a bit."
There were a few blowing sounds from inside, and it could be heard that the boy was really trying to exhale: "Huhu, don't cry mom, the pain will fly away immediately..."
After about ten seconds, the woman walked back to the camera. Her eyes were red, she covered her mouth to keep herself from crying, and shook her hands to turn off the recording.
With her demeanor, no one could put the label of a vicious mistress on her.
The screen returned to darkness, but after a few seconds, another picture came up. This time, it is no longer the recording content, but the editing plot of a TV series.
Zhao Qingtong's first TV series, Female No. 3, added up to less than two episodes for all her appearances.
Ji Ran has not opened this video tape for several years, and no one has seen it except him, including Ji Guozheng.
In normal times, Ji Ran would not allow others to take a second look. But this time was different. He was physically and mentally tired, and he drank a lot of alcohol. He didn't want to move, and he didn't have the energy to drive people away.
Qin Mandao: "She is very beautiful."
His words are not flattery, Zhao Qingtong's facial features are indeed outstanding, and now it is the one that can rely on his face to eat. Compared with Ji Guozheng, Ji Ran is more like Zhao Qingtong.
"What's the use of being pretty." Ji Ran said in a lazy voice, "I'm stupid and weak, I only know how to be at the mercy of others, and being pretty suffers."
Qin Man refuted him euphemistically: "At that time, the Internet was not developed, and there were not so many channels for help. Sometimes obedience is more useful than resistance."
A bottle of wine was stuffed into his hand. Ji Ran's expression was impatient: "With so many words, can this stop you?"
Qin Man smiled. Just as he was about to take it, he saw Ji Ran withdrew his hand, the wine bottle was put into his mouth by him, his teeth were gently picked, the bottle cap was easily opened, and then stretched out in front of him.
Ji Ran turned off the things on the screen with the remote control, and started a modern TV idol drama casually.
The two drank silently for a while, and Ji Ran asked, "You said that, aren't you afraid of getting revenge by Ji Wei? If he kicks you out of the company or wants to break up with you, I won't be responsible."
"Just rush, my boss is you, not him. It's not unemployment." Qin Man was quite open, "I don't lack a friend like him."
Ji Ran was obviously stabbed at the itch by these words, his face was slightly stunned, and he continued to drink.
In fact, he drank a lot and was dizzy, but he just didn't want to sleep.
Qin Mandao: "On the Internet, things will pass soon, don't worry about it."
Ji Ran paused: "Have you seen it?"
Qin Man is much more boring than he imagined. He still has a Weibo account with dust accumulation, but Qin Man doesn't even have a Weibo account. Ji Ran always thought that Qin Man didn't know what happened today.
"Do you think what they said is true or false?" Ji Ran suddenly turned his head and asked him.
Qin Man said, "It's fake."
Ji Ran sneered, and his head fell on his left shoulder, as if he could not hold it anymore: "Those idiots, hiccup... If I really took drugs, there would be so many insiders?!"
"I didn't even know that I had so many friends and relatives. Why are they all showing up now?"
"You're still talking about me, about school violence?" Thinking of the indifference and isolation that he would have experienced when he went to school, Ji gas smirked, "Who is my school violence?"
He squinted and turned his head, watching Qin Man overlap with the iceberg face in school uniform in his mind.
Then he laughed louder, and suddenly realized, "Oh, Qin Man, I bullied you... Go and scold me, others can't, but you can. I'll register you a Weibo account, and you can go to the media to blow it up. You can make a lot of money.”
Qin Man's smile widened invisibly and asked him, "Really only bullied me?"
Ji Ran put all his weight on the footboard of the bed, thinking that he was really going to complain, and his tone became worse: "Yeah, how is it?"
"Why did you bully me?" Qin Man asked.
"You are so arrogant, you deserve it." Ji Ran hiccupped, "I have to ask you, look at people with your nostrils every day... Are you educated?"
Qin Man put his elbow on the edge of the bed, propped his chin, and asked in a persuasive manner, "Just because of this?"
Ji Ran stared at him, the corners of his eyes were red, and he didn't know if he was drunk or the traces left when he cried. He gave up his defense and said bitterly, "...No."
"Who made you feel so good?"
Qin Man laughed, what was the reason for this.
"Obviously your temper is worse than mine. At most, you are better than me in study, better in appearance, better in birth than me..." Ji Ran said, "Why should I be targeted and ridiculed every day, your life will be Smooth wind and smooth water all the way?"
If someone else heard this, they would definitely have a quarrel with Ji Ran.
But Qin Man didn't. He followed his words: "Well, it shouldn't... So my retribution has come, am I not bankrupt?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Ran was stunned at first, and tears suddenly fell out of his eyes without any defense.
Qin Man was stunned, caught off guard by his tears: "what's the matter..."
"Why are you bankrupt?" Ji Ran cried and scolded, "I let you go, why are you still planted? Can't you live until you are old?"
Qin Man wiped his tears and coaxed, "I'm fine now too."
"Fuck. You have to listen to me in everything now, you are not good!"
"… "
Others didn't understand why Ji Ran had to provoke Qin Man when he was in school.
Only Ji Ran knew that it was his ugly jealousy at work.
He's like a monster just surviving in the cracks. Everything he did was wrong.
Qin Man was born to be the favored son of heaven, respected by the audience, and even a cold look in his eyes seemed to be a charity.
And Ji Ran is a beggar on the street.
So he started to play tricks on Qin Man, stealing his workbook, tampering with his speech, sending spam text messages to his mobile phone... These little tricks were finally returned by Qin Man one by one.
Until one day, Qin Man stopped fighting back. No matter how much he did, he would be easily resolved by the other party, and then there would be no more.
Ji Ran originally wanted to ask him why he didn't take revenge on him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he followed Qin Man into the woods of the school, he ran into the confession scene.
It was a boy who confessed to Qin Man, who studied well, was white and cute, and said to Qin Man that he liked it with a blushing face.
Ji Ran was terrified.
If he went to report at that time, it would definitely be the most favorable attack.
But he hadn't thought of that at all. All he thought was—how could a man confess to a man? Does Qin Man like men too? Will Qin Man promise him
His mind was blank, and there was only one sentence left.
When this matter was discovered, Qin Man was over.
So he dragged his heavy steps, turned to the door of the grove, and drove away couples and couples of young couples who wanted to come here for intimacy with a dark face.
After that, Ji Ran never looked for Qin Man again. The little fight between the two of them was like a dream, and it never happened.
Qin Man didn't know what he was thinking, he leaned forward and was about to speak.
"Go and register for a Weibo." Ji Ran raised his hand to wipe away the tears, his face was clean, and there was nothing left, "Go and tell you about my school violence and scold me with them."
Qin Man laughed: "Why should I go?"
"Get revenge on me. Isn't it the best time? We've signed the contract." Ji Ran's cheeks flushed, and he said nothing at all, "I paid the money, and I can't go back. You go, inside After all, there are more people who tell the truth, so I don't feel wronged."
What is the logic
Qin Man raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you really going?"
Ji Ran got angry again: "Go! Can I still stop you?"
Qin Man didn't speak, he was silent for a while, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the person around him. Ji Ran was unprepared, and the whole person fell on him.
Ji Ran's cheek touched the top of his Adam's apple, he was stunned, just about to continue talking nonsense.
"No." Qin Man said, "You didn't bully me."
Ji Ran: "Open your eyes and talk nonsense."
"Do you really think those little tricks can be called school violence?" Qin Man smiled.
Ji Ran paused: "... Who do you look down on?"
"I don't look down on you." Qin Man said, "If you really want to bully someone in the future, you have to be more ruthless."
Ji Ran struggled out of his arms.
"Qin Man, you don't want to be cheap and still be good..."
He was already in a drunk state, his face was flushed, and he was frowning, posing a fierce look.
Qin Man was itchy, and continued: "Let's talk about it now. If you really hate me, you should lock me at home, don't let me go anywhere, and be rough when you go to bed, it's best to leave me alone. What's the point of holding me and crying all the time?"
Ji Ran was so drunk that he didn't realize what was wrong in those words for a while: "You think I dare not!"
Qin Man looked at him calmly: "You dare not."
Ji Ran took a deep breath, stared at him fiercely for a while, then leaned forward abruptly and bit Qin Man's lips, showing no mercy at all.
Qin Man: "..."
Ji Ran sat back in place: "Do you know the pain?!"
This time it was Qin Man's turn to take a deep breath.
... This person has been out of the school for so many years, how come he is cuter than before.
He resisted the urge to tear people apart and drank a few sips of wine in an attempt to calm the inappropriate evil fire in his heart.
For a moment, he gave up struggling and was just about to induce his younger brother to do other bad things.
But he saw Ji Ran tilted his head and was already sitting on the ground and fell asleep. He opened his mouth slightly, looking unprepared.
Qin Man was silent for a while, then sighed helplessly.
He put one hand on the ground, leaned in and stole a kiss, then gently picked him up and put him back on the bed safely.
