Deng Jingwen stood up abruptly, knocked over the water glass on the table with the back of his hand, the boiling water splashed onto his hand, and wet the gauze wrapped around his palm, but he didn't notice it, and stared fixedly at the computer screen in front of him , looking at the boy on the screen, and the little broken model...
He remembered, his memory has always been very good, but because he was too careless at the beginning, he didn't recognize it at the first time.
That happened several years ago. He just came back from a business deal that day. When he got home, he saw the boy sitting on the carpet in the living room, frowning at the fragments of the model all over the floor. It was obviously just a very simple model. But the boy couldn't spell well. At that time, he felt that this boy was really not as clumsy as himself... But because he was in a good mood, he walked over and helped the boy put it together.
The boy was very happy at that time, holding the model as if he got some treasure, pointed to the little figure on it and said, this is Dad, this is me... Dad is the best and most powerful, I like Dad the most...
And he just smiled indifferently and left.
He never thought that a trivial matter in his eyes, the boy remembered it in his heart for so many years.
Deng Jingwen raised his head slightly, and stretched out his hands to hold his eyes.
Look what he's done... look what atrocious things he's done.
Because he is selfish and indifferent, he only sees himself from the beginning to the end, so he misses the person who would love him the most in this world, even if this kind of love is only based on the love of his relatives, it is such a luxury for him.
He finally understood why he lost it, because a person like him did not deserve such feelings at all.
[Ding, target Deng Jingwen favorability degree 2, current favorability degree 98]
… … … … … … …
Xie He started working in a coffee shop. Because the location of the coffee shop is relatively secluded, there are not many customers on weekdays. Most of them are white-collar workers who work nearby, and occasionally some students. It is indeed very relaxing. Moreover, Yu Yu was very tolerant towards him, probably because of sympathy. She probably would have treated Xie He like this even without Liu Yan's greeting.
What Xie He is responsible for every day is to help serve the prepared coffee to the guests, and he just sits by the window in a daze when he has nothing to do.
This position was carefully chosen by him.
Because on the second day after he started working, Deng Jingwen booked a box by the window of the western restaurant on the second floor of the opposite building for a long time. Deng Jingwen sat there for a long time every day, watching him silently. Xie He is a very considerate person. He took the initiative to choose an angle that is most suitable for being peeped at, showing his desolation, helplessness and desolation anytime and anywhere, and comforting his father.
[Xie He: It's so pitiful and bitter! Eighteen-year-old boy dropped out of school to work, is it a tragedy for the family, or a loss of morality?]
[444:...]When you don't know what to say, just keep silent! _(:3ゝ∠)_
[Xie He: Baby, how much is Dad's favorability?]
[444: 98 (≧▽≦)/]
[Xie He: Looks like it's still short of fire, smile jpg]
[444: What are you going to do?]
[Xie He: Oh, I am going to let my dull dad learn some excellent examples to understand what is the correct way to love someone:)]
444: Why does he have a bad feeling? …
Xie He was very cramped in the store at first, and made frequent mistakes, but after a while, he gradually got better, and his hands and feet became more agile. The staff in the store are also very kind to him, as if pampering his younger brother. Xie He expressed that he was very moved by the kindness. Although he is still taciturn, he occasionally volunteers to help others.
At noon this day, Xie He went out to help everyone buy lunch. He went around in a circle by accident, looking at the school gate across the road.
In the past, he didn't take school seriously. He went fishing for three days and posted on the net for two days, and was addicted to racing, picking up girls, eating, drinking and having fun... Now that he lost it, he began to miss the carefree campus life. It was actually the only part of his life. pure land. He stared blankly for a while... At this moment Ning Qi came out of the school gate together with several boys.
Xie He had a look of panic in his eyes, and turned his head away.
However, Ning Qi had already spotted him.
Since Ning Qi was twisted and sent home by Deng Jingwen, he has been locked up by Ning's father.
The despairing look in Deng Zhuo's eyes when he was taken away was constantly replaying in Ning Qi's mind, causing him torment. He liked Deng Zhuo, and promised never to take care of Deng Zhuo's affairs, so he was finally released by his father. After he came out, he didn't dare to inquire blatantly, so he could only keep paying attention to Deng Zhuo's news secretly.
I heard that Deng Zhuo was kidnapped by Zhao Hong and his son not long ago, and Deng Jingwen almost overturned the whole city to rescue him.
Moreover, there is also a rumor gradually circulating that Deng Zhuo is not actually Deng Jingwen's biological son.
Every piece of news made Ning Qi feel more and more heavy. Was the boy injured when he was kidnapped? How is he doing this time? Are you in pain
Judging from Deng Jingwen's emphasis on Deng Zhuo, the man who has always been known for his fickleness and indifference seems to be really attracted to the boy, and the boy has always admired Deng Jingwen the most... Once they are no longer father and son, will the boy be logical? How about accepting Deng Jingwen's love
Then he probably won't have a chance at all.
No matter in terms of strength or importance in the boy's heart, he cannot compare with Deng Jingwen.
Ning Qi's mood is getting lower and lower day by day, and his hope is getting slimmer...
Today he was absent-mindedly pulled out by his companions. As soon as he walked to the school gate, he saw the boy standing alone across the street.
Even though the boy was wearing a mask and only his eyes were exposed, he still recognized him at a glance! There was a look of surprise in his eyes, but before he could make a sound, the boy turned and ran away, as if he was afraid of being recognized.
Ning Qi didn't have the time to think about it at all, so he abandoned his companion and chased after him, and finally caught up with the boy at the corner of the street!
"Xiao Zhuo!" Ning Qi grabbed the boy's wrist, with complex emotions such as sadness and doubt in his eyes. He was heartbroken by the boy's avoidance of him, and he was also puzzled by the boy's performance, and why the boy was wearing the waiter's clothes. clothing
Xie He looked panicked, he hurriedly lowered his head, and said with a low voice: "You recognize the wrong person!"
Ning Qi was full of sadness and almost laughed out of anger at this sentence, does his boy feel that he has no eyesight at all? ! He reached out and lifted off the boy's mask, and smiled helplessly: "You just—"
However, he didn't speak a word, and the rest stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it immediately.
On the boy's flawless right face, a long light red scar clings to it, like the most perfect sculpture being split by life, tearing up the beauty mercilessly and cruelly.
Because his face was suddenly exposed, the boy's eyes showed a look of fear and inferiority. He quickly covered his face with his hands, shook off Ning Qi and ran away with his head down.
Ning Qi looked at the mask in his hand and was stunned for a moment before recovering from the shock. Seeing that the boy was about to run out of his sight, he hurriedly ran after him, wrapped his arms around the boy's waist, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry. "
He quickly put the mask back on for the boy and said, "Don't worry, no one will see it."
Probably this sentence played a soothing effect, and the boy's trembling gradually calmed down.
Ning Qi's heart ached, what happened? Didn't everyone say that Deng Jingwen cared about him very much and protected him well? Why did it become like this
He had countless things to say, but looking at the boy's timid and frightened eyes, he couldn't ask a word. He just said, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."
Xie He looked at him blankly, with deep inferiority complex in his eyes, he lowered his eyes slightly, "I, I want to go back to the store. You go, I don't need you to see me off."
Ning Qi had already noticed the boy's clothes, and saw the coffee shop logo on the clothes with sharp eyes, so he said, "Just on the way, I just want to buy a cup of coffee."
Xie He showed a helpless expression in his eyes, as if he didn't know how to refuse.
Ning Qi's voice was a little sad, and he looked at the boy with gentle eyes: "Is that why you don't want to see me?" He finally couldn't help but say this sentence, he had already missed it to the point of going crazy, how could Able to walk away without seeing it.
Xie He looked at him and was silent for a few seconds before saying in a disturbed voice, "No... I just..."
Ning Qi said: "That's fine, let's go."
Xie He said: "But I still have something to do..."
Ning Qi said, "What's the matter?"
Half an hour later, Ning Qi helped Xie He carry his lunch back to the store. The store is actually not too far from the school. Thinking that the boy has always been so close to him, but he had no way of knowing, Can't help but sigh.
Ning Qi didn't want to embarrass the boy, so he ordered a cup of coffee and sat down, silently watching the boy busy up and down in the store, serving coffee to the customers with lowered eyebrows, only feeling a little sour in his eyes. That once flamboyant and beautiful boy, pampered and spoiled... Now he has lost his appearance, his identity, his self-confidence, low self-esteem and cautiously lowering his head in order to survive...
Ning Qi clenched his hands tightly, with a look of grief and indignation in his eyes.
He almost believed those ridiculous rumors! That bastard Deng Jingwen! He actually pushed the boy to this point. If it was him... he would definitely not let the boy suffer such harm, and he would definitely not be willing to lose the smile on the boy's face.
After Xie He finished his work, he found that Ning Qi was still sitting there, hesitated for a while, and finally bit the bullet and walked over, whispering: "Senior."
Ning Qi suppressed the painful emotions in his heart, and smiled at him, with a gentle and low voice, which gave people a reliable sense of security, "Xiao Zhuo, as I said, you can come to me if you have difficulties."
Xie He looked at him, his eyes turned red, and he said, "I don't want to trouble you anymore, and I'm fine now, you see, I can already support myself."
Ning Qi felt a dull pain in his heart, he said: "Are you worried that Deng Jingwen will deal with me? I... don't need you to do this for me, I want to protect you."
Xie He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Senior, do you still like me?"
Ning Qi nodded without hesitation.
Xie He looked at him fixedly, and he slowly stretched out his hand, as if on the execution ground, he took off the mask little by little, revealing the scars on his face, and said word by word: "Senior, do you see clearly now? Do you still like me?"
His voice was very calm, as if nothing in this world could hurt him anymore, because he had already endured the most desperate grief.
Ning Qi stared at the boy, stretched out his hand involuntarily, and gently caressed the boy's face. The face was no longer smooth, it was bumpy to the touch... yes, he might have been drawn to it at first, but was that really all he loved? Nope... As he said, he was in love with this guy, looks were not everything from the day he realized he was in love with a boy.
Otherwise, why looking at this face at this moment, there is only pity in his heart, but no disgust
Ning Qi said: "I have always liked you, and it has never changed."
The boy's tears flowed down suddenly, since he left Deng's house, this was the first time he cried, because crying couldn't solve any problems, couldn't bring him any relief, it would only make him more desperate... so he couldn't continue crying Now, he must learn to be strong.
But at this moment, facing Ning Qi's warm words, he couldn't bear it anymore... It turns out that there is still a person in this world who loves more than just his face.
Looking at the boy's tears, Ning Qi suddenly became flustered, and hurriedly took out a tissue to help him wipe it off: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Xie He grabbed his hand and asked softly: "Why do you say sorry, you never hurt me."
Ning Qi was stunned for a moment, he didn't think too much, seeing that he made the boy cry, he apologized without thinking.
Xie He looked at him. Although there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, there was a gentle smile in his eyes. He said, "Senior, thank you very much. It's just that I'm not good enough for you."
Thank you so much for liking me so much...
It's a pity that he is no longer as arrogant and ignorant as he used to be. Now, what right does he have to be with the young master of the Ning family? He has already caused so much trouble for Ning Qi, how can he make him turn against his family for himself
This sentence made Ning Qi's heart ache to the point of numbness. When will his boy say such humble words.
He reached out to hug the boy, but the boy turned and walked away, his hand stayed in mid-air, holding the air in vain.
Ning Qi looked at the back of the boy leaving, feeling very distressed... But he didn't dare to force him at all, he could only forcefully hold back the impulse in his heart.
Anyway, knowing where the boy is, he has the patience to influence him slowly.
… … … … … … …
From that day on, Ning Qi came to this coffee shop every day, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the boy, he occasionally brought his companions. He didn't do much, and usually just left after drinking his coffee, sometimes without even saying a word to the boy.
As long as he can see the boy, he is content.
After persisting like this for more than a month, the boy's attitude towards him became much more natural, and he no longer shy away from the low self-esteem as when they first met, and would show him a happy smile from time to time, and the smile in his eyes made Ning Qi unable to move. open sight.
Even though his appearance is no longer beautiful, his boy is still deeply attracted to him.
As Xie He's attitude towards Ning Qi changed day by day, Ning Qi's favorability towards him also rose steadily, reaching 96 soon.
It rained suddenly that day, and Ning Qi didn't bring an umbrella before he came. When he was about to leave, Xie He took the initiative to walk over to him and said wait, I'll find you an umbrella. He ran back to his room, took an umbrella for Ning Qi, ran out quickly, and opened it for him.
The two stood together in the rain curtain, Xie He raised his head, only showing a pair of still beautiful eyes, with a gentle smile in those eyes, he reached out and handed the umbrella to Ning Qi, Ning Qi bent slightly to take it.
Deng Jingwen, who was across the street, was deeply hurt by this seemingly beautiful scene!
Through the rain-soaked glass, he stared at the two people who were almost cuddling in the rain... The hand hanging by his side was clenched tightly, and the fingertips were pierced into the palm of the hand.
The boy he loved so much looked at him with only helplessness and humiliation, obedience and flattery. He tried his best, but there was no way to make the boy smile sincerely and cast trusting eyes on him. And now... the boy finally showed another man the gentle smile he could only have dreamed of... and gave others the love that once belonged to him alone.
He will throw himself into the arms of another man... and live happily ever after with someone else.
Thinking of this, Deng Jingwen was about to go mad with jealousy.
What he thought he could do was not to show up again, to guard him silently, and he was satisfied just watching the boy happy.
But now seeing the boy and Ning Qi standing together, so well matched, so happy... He finally can't deceive himself any longer! He can't do it! can't do it! can't do it!
The hatred and jealousy in his heart grew wantonly like crazy vines, squeezing his chest, making him so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Painful enough to want to destroy everything!
