[66]
At this moment, Ji Yanchen's soul ascended to heaven, and his thoughts had already drifted away from his body. He was petrified in place, his eyes were dull, and he didn't even know that Lu Ming had taken Chi Qiu away.
It was Aunt Zhang who came over in a hurry, endured the smell of wine, led Ji Yanchen into the bathroom of the guest room, and prepared a bathrobe and disposable underwear for him by the way.
"Master Ji Er, throw the clothes you changed into the laundry basket, and I'll wash them later. If it's convenient, you can stay in the guest room tonight. Mr. Lu has greeted me."
Ji Yanchen nodded in despair, and didn't want to say anything.
He smelled so bad, so sour, so nauseating.
Although he and Chi Qiu are good brothers who "wear a pair of pants", none of these can make up for his collapse after being vomited all over.
Ji Yanchen went into the bathroom silently, took off his clothes, and turned on the shower. Before he knew it, tears filled his eyes and he punched the bathroom wall.
He had never been so speechless in his life.
Ji Yanchen will probably never take Chi Qiu to drink again, just because he let Chi Qiu drink a few sips of wine, not only was he scolded by Lu Ming today, but he was also vomited by Chi Qiu... He really, really I am so wronged!
He was so wronged that he could immediately write an 800-character diary and sue Ji Feining, although Ji Feining might not talk to him.
And in the master bedroom of the villa.
As a partner, Lu Ming is different from Ji Yanchen. Regardless of how unpleasant the sour vomit is, he took Chi Qiu to the bathroom with a calm expression, and helped Chi Qiu take off his vomited clothes. Leave a pair of white boxers on your body.
Chi Qiu regained consciousness a little bit, staring at the front in a daze. His ecstasy appearance is similar to his blind appearance in peacetime fashion, and it is completely possible to confuse the fake with the real one.
Seeing that he was awake, Lu Ming tried to communicate with him: "Chi Qiu."
Chi Qiu blinked, probably a little tired, and responded obediently: "What are you doing?"
Lu Ming said, "Go and rinse your mouth."
The soft light in the bathroom set off Chi Qiu's eyes very beautifully, even though Chi Qiu's left eye didn't have any gleam.
Chi Qiu tilted his head and understood Lu Ming's words. He obediently followed Lu Ming to the bathroom, rinsed his mouth carefully, and brushed his teeth. The soles of his feet slipped, and his entire weight rested on Lu Ming. He took a deep breath and washed his face carelessly.
Slowly, he raised his head and "looked" at himself in the mirror in a daze. He saw that he had a dull left eye, like a "work of art" that could only be viewed.
For a moment, because of the alcohol, Chi Qiu didn't know what it was like.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Lu Ming took him back to the bed: "Wait for me for a while."
Although Chi Qiu just drank a little wine, it is not advisable to take a bath immediately after being drunk, so Lu Ming just went to the bathroom to get a small basin of warm water, and wiped Chi Qiu's body with a wrung wet towel.
In order to prevent Chi Qiu from being uncomfortable, he let Chi Qiu lean in his arms and caressed his back. Lu Ming turned sideways and picked up a glass of warm water on the bedside table, which should have been brought in by Aunt Zhang just now.
"You just vomited, you'd better drink some warm water before going to bed."
Chi Qiu nodded, and after taking a big sip, he suddenly asked, "Who is Zhiyan?"
Lu Ming's hand paused, and his tone was heavy: "How do you know him?"
"Is he your relative or your friend?" Chi Qiu asked in a low tone, entangled.
"It was my classmate when I was studying abroad." Lu Ming frowned, put the water glass casually on the bedside table, added, and said truthfully, "I have a bad relationship with him."
Chi Qiu's head was dizzy, obviously he didn't hear what Lu Ming was saying, he fell weakly in Lu Ming's arms and said, "But..."
Lu Ming thought it was Xia Zhiyan who came to Chi Qiu out of nowhere, and felt slightly displeased: "Did he come to you? I will take care of his affairs, you don't need to pay attention to him."
Chi Qiu didn't answer him, but said to himself: "Yan Chen said... his eyes are very similar to mine."
Lu Ming fell silent.
He saw Chi Qiu pursing his lips, drunk, and with a bit of self-mockery, he explained in a long-winded way: "Yan Chen must have made a mistake... how can healthy eyes be the same as mine? My left eye has been blind since I was a child. Mom and grandma were very sad. Mom always said that she was not good and failed to give me a healthy eye. But, but it is not her fault. It is because of me that she has so many troubles... "
Chi Qiu rubbed his eyes, the longing in his heart was the moist spring rain, which fell continuously and wet Lu Ming's palm.
Chi Qiu grabbed Lu Ming's clothes and said dejectedly: "Although I don't know 'Zhiyan', I envy him a bit. Lu Ming... I know this is not good, but his body seems to be shining..."
Especially beautiful and confident, these are things that Chi Qiu, who was trapped in the same place, thought he didn't have.
After seeing him today, he felt a wanton inferiority complex in a person who was similar to himself but extremely different from him like never before.
Lu Ming knew that Chi Qiu's eyes could feel the light, but it was absolutely impossible for the light to come from Xia Zhiyan.
Back then, Xia Zhiyan used Lu You's design draft to change his mouse-like life. And Lu You is the most sensitive and fragile part of Lu Ming's heart. Xia Zhiyan stepped on it under his feet and climbed up from there.
How could there be light on such a person? If there is, I am afraid it is also stolen, stolen.
Lu Mingquan thought that Chi Qiu was talking nonsense after drinking, and patiently corrected him: "There is no light on him, you 'see' wrong."
"I didn't see it wrong." Chi Qiu confronted him relentlessly, launched a weak "drinking madness", and stubbornly confronted him, "Why do you say that I saw it wrong... I can see it so clearly that I can't even see it. You can see how good-looking he is! And, and uncle will invite him to the art exhibition, I can only go secretly, and you don't want to take me there... "
Chi Qiu kept his voice low, unaware of his slip of the tongue after drinking.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.
But Chi Qiu closed his eyes and murmured softly, "I'm not the same, I'm not very good."
Chi Qiu's left eye was born blind.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter who saw him, he would say with regret: "What a smart boy."—It's a pity that he can't see one eye.
They will not say the next sentence, because that is the only respect they have left for Chi Qiu.
At times like this, Chi Qiu would say thank you in a sensible way.
But most of the time, he is depressed. Is there such a big difference between one eye and two eyes? He can do well what others can do with two eyes.
His performance in cultural subjects is very good, and his performance in sports is not bad. For a long time, he has always been the "child of other people's family" in the mouth of his parents.
Chi Qiu is gentle on the surface, but he is a strong person on the inside.
He wanted everyone to recognize him, he wanted to be shining, and he did.
But later, his other eye was blinded by an accident. All the pitiful and regretful voices swelled up in an instant, exploding in his darkness like a baptism of fireworks, and people's sympathy turned into "goodwill" towards him.
"What a clever child, but unfortunately he is blind."
"Don't the Chi family still have a daughter? I think Mr. Chi is now concentrating on raising his daughter."
"President Chi's daughter is also pitiful. This brother will probably hang on to her for the rest of his life, right?"
"What a pity, everything will be hers from now on."
In the end, even the last bit of respect is gone.
Therefore, Chi Qiu always made a wish in his heart, hoping that his eyes would return to normal. Perhaps his prayer was too pious, and God gave him a chance to start over.
The layer of black smoke finally dissipated, and it was the long-lost light. He saw the family he missed, and he also met the person he liked. He should have taken that step.
However, the quarrels and conflicts at home weighed on his shoulders like a huge mountain, and he was unable to shake off. Later, facing Lu Ming's sudden disappearance, Chi Qiu gradually became ashamed.
So what if you can see it, so what if you can't see it
As Chi Lanyan's mother, she couldn't abandon Chi Xia for Chi Qiu, so they had to be so entangled. That being the case, maybe it was just like what Tong Chi Xia said, if only he could never see.
In this way, disputes will be reduced, Chi Lanyan will be more relaxed, and Chi Xia will be happier.
Secrets will protect a family, Chi Qiu firmly believes in this, so he voluntarily gave up many things.
Chi Qiu, who was young at that time, clutched his regained eyesight, but couldn't speak out frankly after all. He swallowed the secret into his heart dully, and what was pressing in his heart was a grievance that was more twists and turns than a mountain road.
He may never be able to become as radiant, confident and generous as Xia Zhiyan.
