Lu Xiao deliberately strangled him and said, "Just hug."
Ye Cheng was struggling red-faced, but when she bent her knees, she accidentally touched a familiar part.
— It’s a part that all men understand.
He just wanted to change his posture and break free from the warm embrace.
The air here was so thin that he couldn't even breathe smoothly, but when his knees touched there, he was stunned.
Even through the thin fabric, you can feel the amazing temperature.
Lu Xiao didn't expect him to kick his legs indiscriminately, and also froze in place stiffly.
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
There was no sound in the tent.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom,
I don't know whose heart is in a mess, like a restless drumbeat, which is about to push the tent apart.
Lu Xiao's mind turned a thousand times, thinking of ten thousand excuses to make up for it.
"I..." His voice was hoarse, but he got stuck just after he said a word.
If it's between brothers, just say "Do you want to watch a movie" and take it with you.
But he knows better than anyone else that he doesn't regard Ye Cheng as a brother, so he can't tell lies.
His breathing gradually became heavier, and he couldn't find any clue to explain it.
The person in the arms looked dazed, and his cheeks were flushed. He didn't know if it was from the electric blanket or because of other reasons.
Lu Xiao suddenly thought, maybe he is not very resistant
He couldn't help reaching out his hand, wanting to touch Ye Cheng's face.
Just as Lu Xiao stretched out her hand, Ye Cheng shrank back subconsciously as if she had suddenly woken up.
The bed was a single bed, two people squeezed together. He didn't have enough room to retreat, he just shrank a few centimeters, but it was enough for Lu Xiao's hand to stop.
Because the distance is too close, his every move is infinitely magnified.
This retreat made Lu Xiao's heart sink suddenly.
When you like someone, every little reaction of his is like a sign of a landslide.
Ye Cheng's breathing, Ye Cheng's expression, Ye Cheng's movements, many of his unconscious behaviors.
These all represent his attitude towards the relationship between the two.
The light in Lu Xiao's eyes dimmed little by little, and finally disappeared.
He thought he understood.
A lot of things don't need to be said out of the mouth, they can be understood naturally.
He let go of Ye Cheng dejectedly, got up from the bed and said, "You sleep here, I'll go there."
Ye Cheng sat up in a panic: "No, don't..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiao had already gone to his bed.
He quickly got into the sleeping bag, covered the top of his head with the quilt, turned his back to him and fell asleep.
A series of actions flowed smoothly.
It's over, it seems to have messed up, Ye Cheng thought to himself.
He stared at Lu Xiao's back with complicated eyes.
How could it be easier than him to get stoned, and it was so embarrassing...
he thought wildly,
How will I face him tomorrow morning? Would you like to popularize the idea that "in is normal for male high school students in hot and dry conditions"
... It doesn't seem impossible, as long as he doesn't feel ashamed.
Ye Cheng struggled for a while, and even picked up the mobile phone to Baidu some words to relieve the mental and physical stress of the teenagers.
After memorizing it for about ten minutes, my eyelids gradually couldn't hold it anymore.
He decided to have a good talk with Lu Xiao after waking up, put down his phone, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lu Xiao was not as lucky as him, and didn't fall asleep until midnight.
On the one hand, he hated himself for being so uncontrollable, on the other hand, his fragile glass heart shattered to the ground.
—Ye Cheng actually avoided his touch.
He knew very well what it meant to avoid.
In other words, Ye Cheng doesn't like him, and may even be a little disgusted by his reaction. And the culprit of all this... He looked down at the place where it gradually disappeared.
Today is a model of failure every day. First, I overturned my cooking, and now I don’t even have friends.
That's right, he thinks that Ye Cheng definitely doesn't want to be friends with him anymore.
After all, who would want to associate with someone who covets him and who he doesn't like.
Thinking of this made him even more sad.
It was so sad that my heart felt like it was being pricked by a small needle.
It felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed in his throat.
He huddled himself into a ball and buried his face in the quilt that smelled like orange leaves.
Woohoo, he was hated.
The next morning, Ye Cheng was woken up by the alarm.
The electric blanket was too hot, he kicked off the quilt in the middle of the night, and he didn't know why it was covered again now.
The plug underneath was unplugged, but the bed was still warm and he didn't want to get up.
"Lu Xiao, are you awake?" He yawned and asked softly.
No response.
"Lu Xiao?" He struggled to get up from the bed, but saw that the opposite bed was empty.
There was a piece of paper on it, pressed down with his ipad.
Ye Cheng woke up completely, hurriedly put on clothes, picked up the paper on the bed and read it.
This is a letter from Lu Xiao to him.
[I wanted to wait until you got up before saying goodbye, but I really didn't have the courage. Well, I admit that sometimes, I also have the idea of escaping, especially after I know you hate me. I'm sorry that I had unreasonable thoughts for you yesterday, and I'm sorry for making you feel disgusted. I apologize for this, but I may not be able to change it.
Thank you for the encouragement and comfort you have given me these past few days. The more I write, the more I feel uncomfortable.
Forget it, I'm afraid of seeing your face, I can't even say a word. So I went back first, let myself calm down first, and think about how to get along with you in the future. If you think there is still a possibility between us, just contact me. If you think you can’t even be friends, then just pretend you didn’t see this letter.]
Ye Cheng was confused, read the letter with three typos back and forth twice, and finally understood what he meant.
In the tent, Lu Xiao's suitcase was gone.
He suddenly felt dumbfounded.
No, is this kid out of his mind? When did he say he hated him
Ye Cheng took out his mobile phone and called him, but the screen showed that the call failed, and the signal here was not very good.
He had to get dressed and went outside the tent, ready to find a place with a good signal to make a call.
As soon as he came out, he ran into Hu Haiyang who was oncoming.
"Ye Cheng, you came just in time, I was just looking for you." Hu Haiyang said to him, looking a little anxious.
Ye Cheng asked inexplicably, "What's the matter, teacher?"
Hu Haiyang said: "Your grandma called you several times, but you didn't answer. She has something urgent to do with you."
Ye Cheng frowned: "Did she say anything? The signal here is not very good, and I didn't receive a call."
Hu Haiyang said: "I didn't say anything specific, she just asked you to call her back."
In the woods not far from the tent.
Lu Xiao sat on the suitcase, wearing a hat and scarf, tightly wrapped.
The sun above the head gradually rose into the air, the surrounding snow melted a little, and the cries of partridges came from the woods.
His hands were red from the cold, and he put them in his pockets for a while, and couldn't help taking out his phone to look at it repeatedly.
Ye Cheng didn't call or send him a message until after eleven o'clock in the morning.
Lu Xiao slapped the phone a few times in disbelief, is it fucking broken
It's already eleven o'clock, and he hasn't woken up for no reason.
buzz-bum-
The phone vibrated suddenly, and he was so shocked that he almost slipped his hand and dropped the phone into the snow.
Lu Xiao cleared her throat, uttered an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", said a few words coldly, "hey, what are you doing", and then looked at the screen.
When he saw the caller ID, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Looking at the big word "scalper" on it, he answered the phone irritably and put it to his ear.
He said gruffly, "Why?"
A male voice with a Yingcheng accent came from over there: "Boss, do you still want a ticket? Didn't you say we'll meet at the station at ten o'clock?"
"No, tear it up." Lu Xiao replied angrily, then hung up the phone with a snap.
He couldn't bear to stand up from the suitcase, and kicked over the pebbles next to him.
Damn, you are really good, Ye Cheng.
I ignored him all morning, but I just relied on him not really leaving.
Lu Xiao was about to explode, circling the box twice like a defeated rooster.
Finally, I picked up the suitcase and walked back.
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck, why are you so spineless!
While secretly spurning himself, he returned to the camp dejectedly.
At this moment, the morning classes are over, and everyone is preparing their own lunch.
Lu Xiao pushed the suitcase and stood outside the tent door, thinking about how to face him later.
— put the box in ruthlessly and ask him why you didn't call me
But if Ye Cheng really annoys him, then doing so seems even more disgusting.
No, it can't be like this.
— Pretend nothing happened and say hello as usual
Ye Cheng must have hated him even more after leaving a letter of severance.
No no no.
— Sobbing so much that Lihua went in like rain, then bit her lip and said that she was wrong, shouldn't she be petty
... this one seems to work! Isn't Ye Cheng just like this, once others give in, he will have nothing to do.
Lu Xiao acted immediately, pinching the flesh of her thigh so hard that her eyes turned red.
He began to fantasize about some desperate things, hastening the burst of tears.
For example, Ye Cheng told him to get out, for example, Ye Cheng hugged and kissed his ex.
After thinking about it, I entered the play.
Lu Xiao choked up like something, thundering but not raining, not even a drop of tears, and then opened the tent with confidence.
He looked down at the toe of the shoe, expecting Ye Cheng to say "Oh, you still know how to come back".
Then, he could look up in aggrieved manner.
One second, two seconds...
After waiting for half a minute, I didn't hear any movement.
Lu Xiao raised her head in doubt, and was completely dumbfounded when she saw the empty tent.
All of Ye Cheng's belongings were taken away, even cleaner than his.
At this time, Hu Haiyang walked over from the side.
"Lu Xiao, why didn't you come to class this morning? I've been looking for you for a long time." He asked seriously.
Lu Xiao didn't recover for a while, thinking that Ye Cheng was chasing her.
"Teacher, it's too late to explain. I have to chase Ye Cheng back first." He said concisely, put down his luggage and was about to rush to the station.
Hu Haiyang stopped him and said, "I have something to do at home, why don't you join in the fun."
"Huh?" Lu Xiao turned to look at him.
Hu Haiyang said: "His family called and told him to go back. It's none of your business. You give me a good lesson."
Lu Xiao: "...what the hell?"
Ye Cheng sat in the car and tried to continue calling Lu Xiao.
But still can't get through, maybe the signal on his side is not good.
He told Hu Haiyang about getting Lu Xiao back, and Hu Haiyang immediately agreed.
Let's wait until we meet to explain this matter.
Gao Qiulan called again, asking if he got in the car.
Ye Cheng reassured her and told her that she had bought a high-speed rail ticket to Shengzhou.
Gao Qiulan panicked on the phone, talking incoherently, and only asked him to ask for leave to go to Shengzhou.
It sounded like Ye Qiaoqiao was seriously ill, Qu Tian went to Milan, and only Ye Gaoyang was there.
Originally, Ye Cheng didn't want to go, and he didn't care at all what happened to those two people.
But considering that Gao Qiulan was still there, it would be bad if something happened in case of excitement, so he bought the ticket to go back.
After bumping around for several hours, Ye Cheng changed to the high-speed train from Nandu again.
The signal on the high-speed rail was intermittent, during which time I received a WeChat message from Lu Xiao, asking him what happened at home.
Ye Cheng replied to him: [I don't know what's going on, I have to go to Shengzhou.]
There was a moment of silence over there, and they replied: [Be careful.]
Ye Cheng asked him: [Are you still unhappy?]
Suspect X: [I'm not unhappy, I went back to the tent early in the morning.]
Restrain it: [You went back by yourself?]
Suspect X: [Then you still want to break up with me?]
Ye Cheng thought to herself when will I break up with you.
But I still replied to him: [... I have not cut off the friendship, since you stay there, you should study hard.]
The chat box shows "typing" for a minute.
Suspect X: [OK.]
Ye Cheng shook his head helplessly, he didn't know whether to say that he was easy to coax, or that he was out of his mind.
Regarding what happened last night, both of them kept silent, tacitly wanting to turn the page over.
After reversing the car, it was already six o'clock in the evening when Ye Cheng arrived in Shengzhou.
He had no time to rest, so he took a taxi and went straight to Shengzhou First Hospital.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he saw Gao Qiulan standing outside to pick him up.
Ye Cheng pushed the suitcase over, and Gao Qiulan immediately came up to meet her.
She looked tired, as if she had aged a lot in a few days.
Ye Cheng frowned immediately, supported her and said, "What happened?"
"Xiao Cheng, you are finally here." Gao Qiulan didn't say anything, but stepped forward and hugged him.
Since Ye Cheng grew up, she rarely behaved like this, unless she was in a very bad mood.
Ye Cheng was really startled, hugged her and said, "What's the matter, don't scare me. Is it Ye Qiaoqiao's illness, or is there something wrong with my father's health?"
As soon as Gao Qiulan leaned against him, her eyes became moist.
Ye Cheng patted her on the back: "It's okay, grandma, tell me what's the matter."
Gao Qiulan sobbed for a while, and then gradually calmed down.
"Why don't we find a place to sit first, it's too cold here." Ye Cheng held her cold hand and said.
They found a milk tea shop at the entrance of the hospital, and Ye Cheng ordered her a cup of warm milk.
After Gao Qiulan drank some milk, her mood gradually stabilized.
Her eyes were red and she said, "Xiaocheng, your father may not be able to hold on anymore."
Ye Cheng buzzed in his head, subconsciously asked: "Is he sick?"
Strange, he remembered that Ye Gaoyang was in excellent health, he was a workaholic and accompanied Qu Tian and Ye Qiaoqiao when he was free, but he didn't have time to talk to his son.
Gao Qiulan shook her head and said, "It's not him, it's Ye Qiaoqiao. A few days ago she had a high fever and went to the hospital, where she was found to have leukemia."
"Leukemia?" Ye Cheng asked in surprise.
In his previous life, he had never heard of Ye Qiaoqiao having leukemia, which was too sudden.
Gao Qiulan showed a sad face: "Then your father went to check the bone marrow matching, but something went wrong, and later found out... Qiaoqiao is not his daughter."
Ye Cheng was shocked one after another: "What?"
"I don't understand what they said about blood types. I just know that the doctor said that there is a high probability that they are not the biological father and daughter." Gao Qiulan said.
Ye Cheng: "..."
Ye Qiaoqiao was the child of Ye Gaoyang who had an affair in his early years, and Gao Qiulan could not accept her because of this.
Now I didn't expect not only to have an affair, but also to be cuckolded...
The two were silent for a long time, neither of them spoke.
In the end, it was Ye Cheng who broke the silence: "Then how is he now? What about Qu Tian, has he returned to China?"
Gao Qiulan wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "No, your dad is on an IV drip in the hospital. He said he wanted to expose this matter, and then he went to Milan to find Qu Tian. Qu Tian didn't answer the phone or reply to the message, probably because he knew about it. The nasty things I did were discovered."
"But that's her daughter." Ye Cheng couldn't understand.
In his memory, even though Qu Tian had nothing to say to him, he still doted on Ye Qiaoqiao.
When he went to make up lessons for her in junior high school, Qu Tian was responsive to her requests and gave her whatever she wanted.
This also made Ye Qiaoqiao develop a lot of bad habits, in other words, she was a little princess.
Gao Qiulan spat and said: "That woman is really vicious, she has lied to Gao Yang for so many years, how can she be expected to have a childlike heart."
"Now Qiaoqiao is being treated in the hospital, and your father is also in a state of illness from anger. I really can't take care of it by myself, so I called you back." She said helplessly.
Ye Cheng touched her back: "If you told me earlier, I came back yesterday."
Gao Qiulan suddenly covered her face and cried: "Xiao Cheng, they really owe you too much, you don't need to come at all."
Ye Cheng knows that she loves him from the bottom of her heart, and considers everything from his point of view.
He hugged Gao Qiulan and comforted her in a low voice.
He had a subtle feeling in his heart, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.
In the previous life, none of this happened, Ye Qiaoqiao never had leukemia, and Ye Gaoyang was kept in the dark.
Could it be that after being reborn, all these dirty things will surface
After coming out of the milk tea shop, the two went directly to the ward.
Ye Cheng temporarily left the suitcase at the front desk, followed Gao Qiulan to open the door and walked in.
Ye Qiaoqiao lived in a single ward and was eating potato chips and watching cartoons.
Seeing them coming in, his eyes fell on Ye Cheng, and it immediately lit up.
"Brother!" she shouted very loudly.
In fact, if you look closely, you can indeed find that Ye Qiaoqiao doesn't look like Ye Gaoyang.
She doesn't have the cold temperament inherited from the old Ye family, nor does she have the sharp and small chin.
She has a round head and a round head, with a childish cut, single eyelids and a high nose bridge. She is neither good-looking nor ugly.
Ye Cheng didn't even think she looked like Qu Tian, but he didn't know if Qu Tian had plastic surgery.
This child looks physically fit, and it is difficult to associate her with a major disease like leukemia.
Ye Qiaoqiao was four years younger than him, and she always thought that Ye Cheng was a god in her heart.
That kind of god who is cold, beautiful, and has good grades is the envy of all the girls in his class.
It's a pity that Ye Cheng has always been indifferent to her, she can only show off behind her back that she has such a big brother.
Ye Qiaoqiao jumped up and wanted to jump off the bed: "Brother, come to see me!"
A child doesn't know what a terminal illness is, and being hospitalized doesn't affect her happiness in the slightest.
Ye Cheng lowered her face: "Don't come down."
Ye Qiaoqiao was a little afraid of him, she didn't dare to move when she said don't move, she stayed obediently on the bed, blinking her eyes at them.
"Sure enough, your brother is the only one who can cure you," Gao Qiulan shook her head and said, "Xiaocheng, you don't know how hard it is to take care of her."
Ye Cheng always ignored her, but now seeing her eyes, she felt a little pitiful.
Ye Gaoyang is a man who attaches great importance to blood, and Ye Qiaoqiao is like a thorn, always reminding him of his humiliating past.
In this life, it is impossible for Ye Gaoyang to be nice to her again.
Qu Tian abandoned her again and refused to return to the country. He probably didn't even want her at all.
Ye Cheng looked at the rice bowl next to her and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
"I don't have an appetite, I want to eat potato chips." Ye Qiaoqiao pouted.
Ye Cheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said, "You can only eat potato chips after eating, otherwise don't eat any of them."
Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes flicked between him and Gao Qiulan, and she finally picked up the chopsticks.
Gao Qiulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked him, "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's have some together. The food in the hospital is not good, so let's make do with it first, and grandma will make something else for you tomorrow."
Ye Cheng nodded and sat down to eat with them.
Because he came, Ye Qiaoqiao was so happy that she even ate half a bowl of rice.
After putting her to sleep, Ye Cheng asked Gao Qiulan to take him to Ye Gaoyang's ward.
Gao Qiulan stood at the door and said, "Xiaocheng, if he talks nonsense, just ignore him. The doctor said he can't stand stimulation recently."
Ye Cheng signaled her to rest assured, opened the door and walked into the ward.
In the room, Ye Gaoyang was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, his face was as pale as an incorruptible corpse just dug out of an ancient tomb.
His eye sockets were thin and sunken, his cheekbones were flushed, and his lips were chapped and pouty.
"Dad." Ye Cheng walked up to him and called out calmly.
Ye Gaoyang opened his eyes and looked at him slowly.
When he spoke, his voice was hoarse as if someone had thrown a handful of sand down his throat, "Xiao Cheng, you're here."
Ye Cheng felt that his dying look was extremely ironic.
"Is it worth doing this for a woman?" He sneered.
Ye Gaoyang's breathing became short of breath.
He obviously promised Gao Qiulan not to provoke him, but he still couldn't help but want to say these things.
Ye Gaoyang coughed a few times, pursed his mouth and did not speak.
Ye Cheng couldn't help him pretending to be dead, and asked him: "Are you really planning to contact the media to expose her? Her public relations team is one of the best in the country, so you are not afraid that she will bite back and put you to death?"
He has a few short sentences, but every sentence hits the nail on the head.
Ye Gaoyang coughed worse, obviously very angry.
Ye Cheng said coldly: "Get a divorce if you can. If you want to save her through public opinion, that is shooting yourself in the foot."
Ye Gaoyang's face became even more gloomy when he said the central matter.
"I can't blame others today. It's all my fault. I haven't seen her true face clearly for so many years." He sighed.
Ye Cheng was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't care about the two of you, I just want to know, how do you plan to deal with Ye Qiaoqiao?"
He has been thinking about it for a long time.
Ye Gaoyang's face became contorted, and his voice trembled with anger.
"I hired the best nurse, and your grandma also said that she would help take care of her. I will treat her illness, but I never want to see her again."
Ye Cheng laughed suddenly, and Ye Gaoyang looked up at him in surprise.
"Dad, you are really—" He elongated his voice and said softly, "You deserved it today."
Ye Gaoyang's eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe that he would say such a thing.
Ye Cheng said: "I have lost your daughter for more than ten years, and I have been waiting for you for more than ten years. In fact, there is no difference in your heart. They are all thrown away if you want to, and you can pick them up when you want to pick them up." Rubbish."
"But you never thought that one day, trash can choose not to want you." From the beautiful lips, the most indifferent words spit out.
Ye Gaoyang thought that money could solve everything. He used to throw money at him, but now he throws money at Ye Qiaoqiao. As everyone knows, he doesn't know what emotion is at all.
"Dad, I hope that when you die alone, you won't have a moment of regret."
After Ye Cheng finished the last sentence, she turned around and left with her pockets in her pocket.
As the door of the ward was slowly closed, there was a faint roar of pain and the sound of things falling to the ground.
He didn't look back, and went straight back to Ye Qiaoqiao's ward.
This area is all single wards, and the corridor is very quiet.
Ye Qiaoqiao was reading manga while hiding under the quilt, when she heard the sound of the door being pushed, she quickly hid the manga.
Gao Qiulan was sitting on the recliner waiting for him, already dozing off, her head bouncing back and forth.
Ye Cheng lifted her quilt casually, and said mercilessly, "Stop pretending."
Ye Qiaoqiao screamed and snatched the quilt back hastily.
He looked down at her and said, "Girl, no one wants you anymore."
