thousand strings

He Qianxian left the hotel and took a taxi. The driver asked the location. He Qianxian was about to report his home address when he suddenly changed his words: "Go to Xiangli." Xiangli was the bar where He Qianxian worked some time ago.Several lychee trees are planted in the yard at the back door of the bar. In summer, the fragrance is fresh.

It was still early to arrive at Xiangli, and the bar was not open. He Qianxian came to the back door, yelled twice, poked his head out from upstairs, and said with a confused face, "Who, it's so early."

He Qianxian showed a smiling face, and the other party was startled, "Brother Qianxian, why are you here today?"

He Qianxian didn't reply, and the other party hurriedly said, "Wait for me to get off, and I'll open the door for you."

The bar is small, and usually there are not many customers. Besides the boss, there is also a part-time bartender who only comes to the bar at night.The bar has been in operation for two generations, and the owner is only in his early twenties. He just took over the bar. He doesn't like running the bar, but he doesn't reject it. In his words, the reason for the operation is to make a living.

After being seated, the young boss handed over a glass of champagne cocktail, and He Qianxian drank it all in one gulp. The other party refilled the drink and said, "Brother Qianxian, why are you free to come over today?"

He Qianxian had another drink, "Come here and get drunk."

He said that he got drunk and then got really drunk. He slept until midnight, and when he woke up, he was lying on the bed on the second floor. It hurt even more, he slammed, the bathroom door opened, He Qianxian raised his head, and a young man with his shirt on appeared in front of him.For a moment, He Qianxian's brain didn't hurt so much, but his mouth was dry and his heart palpitations were severe.

"Are you awake?" the other person asked, "Do you want a drink?"

He Qianxian just looked at him, and the other party smiled, "You haven't woken up yet, I'll pour you a glass of water."

Until the figure disappeared and the sound of trampling on the stairs sounded, He Qianxian came to his senses.Just now, due to the light or because of his drunkenness, He Qianxian thought he saw Xiaoshuang.He hurriedly got up and left the bar as if fleeing.

The air at night was a little bit cold, He Qianxian took a deep breath, woke up a little, and his brain began to ache again.He took two steps, and heard the sound of a car horn. Following the sound, he saw a car parked not far away. He Qianxian could see the people who got out of the car clearly even if they were a little far away.

On the way back, He Qianxian kept his eyes closed to rest.

When the car drove down the mountain, He Qianxian smelled the familiar smell and asked, "Are you going to wait overnight?"

The man in the driver's seat didn't say a word, He Qianxian opened his eyes to look at him, the man pursed his lips, looking at the road ahead.

The car was quiet again.

"Don't do such things in the future, it's been a long time since I was sick last time." He Qianxian opened his mouth in exchange for Qin An's glance, but still didn't answer.

When the car entered the yard, He Qianxian said, "I'll get out of the car first, I want to go for a walk."

The car stopped, and Qin An, who had been quiet all the time, said, "I thought I'd have to wait until tomorrow morning."

He Qianxian looked back at him, Qin An had a self-deprecating smile on his face, "I didn't expect you to have a new boyfriend so soon."

He saw He Qianxian kissing the young boss at the bar, and was helped upstairs. He also saw a smile on the young man's face. Until closing time, Qin An saw the lights on the second floor in the car, and there were people. Shaking, undressing and taking a shower, the person on the bed got up, the two talked, and left the room one by one, and finally He Qianxian appeared at the door.

"Boyfriend?" He Qianxian asked back. He rubbed his veins throbbing in his temples and quickly understood, but he didn't bother to explain. He opened the car door and heard Qin An say, "Do you want something to eat? I'll ask someone to prepare it."

He Qianxian shook his head, "Go to bed early." He slammed the car door.

Seeing his back disappear into the night, Qin An slammed the steering wheel heavily.

That night He Qianxian didn't sleep well, and got up frequently at night to drink cold water.Coming out of the kitchen, He Qianxian stopped suddenly, looked back at the sluice in a daze for a moment, finally he sighed, shook his head and went upstairs.

He Qianxian received a lot of condolence calls in the past few days, and He Qianxian was tired of dealing with it, so he simply asked the housekeeper to say that he was not at home.In the evening, the annoying bell rang again, and He Qianxian closed his eyes in the living room to rest his mind. The butler picked it up, said a few words, and went upstairs to ask He Qianxian, "It's Miss Ye."

He Qianxian picked up the phone.

On the phone, Ye Rui invited him to the cruise party next month, "Boss Guo asked me to invite you. He said that he called you several times and always said that you were not at home, so he let me come. I didn't expect that I would still be here in front of you." It’s a bit of an honor, really.”

Boss Guo was the man who sat next to He Qianxian at Ye Rui's birthday party and chattered. A seat, the business does not allow him to intervene, so he is happy to climb everywhere.

Ye Rui said with a smile, and He Qianxian explained, "These days I have a headache answering the phone, and I just came back from relaxing outside. Why did Boss Guo think of taking a cruise?"

"He and his wife have been married for ten years. This time, their wedding anniversary is going to be celebrated at sea for a week."

"Aren't you afraid of guests getting seasick?"

Ye Rui laughed, "In order to please his wife, he ordered a boat from Germany's EDXIR this time. His boat and plane are said to be rock-solid, and there has never been an accident, so don't worry."

He Qianxian also laughed, "I don't get seasick." He, a middle-aged man in his forties, didn't get seasick, but it was Xiaoshuang, a young man who got very dizzy. Once the two of them went to a small island to play, Xiaoshuang became very dizzy. Su, throwing He Qianxian all over, insisted on squatting in the bathroom to rub He Qianxian's clothes afterward, he rubbed too hard, his hands turned red, He Qianxian felt distressed, so he didn't let him wash again.

He Qianxian agreed to Ye Rui's invitation, and the next day Boss Guo came to deliver the invitation in person.

After a few greetings, Boss Guo asked, "Where is Mr. Qin, isn't he at home?"

"He?" He Qianxian said, "Still sleeping, he just came back this morning."

This morning He Qianxian ran downstairs twice before Qin An arrived home.After running back, I heard from the housekeeper that Qin An went to bed without breakfast.

Boss Guo nodded and said: "The He family has recently taken over such a big business, no wonder he is busy. After this busy period is over, Mr. He, you are afraid that you will rival the richest man."

He Qianxian was stunned for a moment, but didn't answer, the two exchanged some pleasantries, and Boss Guo left two invitation letters and left.

Qin An slept until three o'clock in the afternoon. After washing, he went downstairs and found He Qianxian nestled on the sofa in the living room reading a book.

Before going abroad, He Qianxian was painting in the yard or on the terrace early in the morning, and at this time he was practicing piano in his room. Since the accident when he broke his arm from the mountain, He Qianxian never did these two things again, just read books every day, Listening to the music, Qin An didn't notice something wrong with his right hand at that time.

Later he went abroad, and the two rarely communicated.Qin An often hears about He Qianxian from Uncle Min. He seems to be in a good mood every day, listening to concerts, watching operas, attending parties, not looking for a girlfriend, but often coming home late... Heard When Uncle Min said that Master He and Yuan Qianyu had an accident, Qin An's first words were, how is He Qianxian?

Nothing happened to He Qianxian, but the grief of losing his parents overwhelmed him. After being bored at home for more than a week, he started to get drunk everywhere.

Qin An wanted to go back to China, but Uncle Min told him to stay abroad first and come back when he was successful in his studies.Qin An sneaked back once, and he saw He Qianxian was so drunk that he finally fell asleep in the arms of a woman.

Qin An knew that He Qianxian was not suitable for running a business, but he didn't expect that he would "spend away" the He family so quickly.When he rushed back, He Qianxian had already left L City. For the first time, Qin An grabbed Uncle Min by the collar, with red eyes, and shouted loudly, why didn't you take good care of him? !

Since you can't take care of him, I'll come!

Qin An started to do business like crazy, working day and night, and operating by any means. He is ambitious and capable, but he has no background. His status in the mall is at best the adopted son of the declining housekeeper of the He family. Few are willing to cooperate with him.Qin An struggled for half a year, but Uncle Min couldn't bear it, took out most of his life's savings, and secretly begged the Bai family to help him with his old friendship with the He family.With the secret help of the Bai family, Qin An's career has grown rapidly. He gradually acquired the shares invested by the He family. When he sat in the office of the He family headquarters, he was not relieved.

Because He Qianxian was not around.

After four years of searching, He Qianxian seemed to have disappeared without a word.

On the day when He Qianxian heard about it, Qin An was receiving an important client. When he heard the words He Qianxian, he immediately got up and apologized to the client and said that we would talk about it next time. The client hadn't left yet. He hurriedly arranged the itinerary, and then changed clothes In the office, I found one set of clothes after another, and finally changed back to the one I met the client and went to the airport.

The moment he saw He Qianxian, Qin An couldn't believe his eyes, his appearance hadn't changed, his walking posture was still as straight, but his clothes were not as elegant as before, a cheap T-shirt, a pair of slacks, and a pair of sneakers were a bit worn out.Qin An never thought that He Qianxian would be so down and out, dressed simply and living in a slum.

If it wasn't for the same face, Qin An even wondered if he had admitted the wrong person.

He didn't dare to imagine what had happened to He Qianxian these years, and he was even angrier that he couldn't find He Qianxian in time, which made him suffer a lot.

"Have you slept well?" He Qianxian was about to pour a glass of water for a drink, when he saw Qin An standing in a daze not far away, Qin An came back to his senses and nodded, He Qianxian said, "Hurry up and eat something As he spoke, he passed by Qin An's side, and asked the cook for a glass of water, and when he took the water, he said to the cook, "Is there any shark's fin soup left at noon, warm it up for Mr. Qin to drink."

The cook hesitated for a second, then said cautiously, "Mr. He, Mr. Qin doesn't eat shark's fin."

He Qianxian paused, his face was a little ugly, and he said, "Get something to eat."

The cook didn't dare to say that she was ready, so she could only agree to go to the kitchen.

Qin An was standing not far away, he could hear what he said just now clearly, He Qianxian turned around and saw Qin An looking at him, approaching, Qin An said: "Stay with me for a while."

He Qianxian accompanied Qin An to have afternoon tea. After eating, Qin An said, "There is a concert tonight, can you accompany me?"

"who?"

Qin An gave a thunderous name, He Qianxian nodded, and went upstairs to clean up.

After the whole concert, the applause was like thunder. At the end, He Qianxian was still a little unsure, and asked Qin An what happened to the big hand.

"In M city."

Although City M is not one hundred and eight thousand miles away from City L, one is in the north and the other is in the south, which is really far away.Before He Qianxian could speak, Qin An said, "If you want to hear it, we'll go."

He Qianxian said "forget it", got up and wanted to leave, just as he took a step, his hand was held, and Qin An turned around and said, "There are too many people now, we will leave later."

Everyone was leaving, He Qianxian looked towards the exit, he saw the crowds, he nodded, and then backed away, but Qin An didn't let go of his hand.He Qianxian waved his hand, took out his phone, glanced at the message, and said, "Li Boqing asked me to call Slok."

"What time is it?"

"Going right now."

"I'll take you there." Qin An glanced at the crowd, and took He Qianxian's hand naturally. He Qianxian's hand was a little cold, and he didn't know if it was from the air-conditioning. Said: "You don't need to send it, I will take a taxi there by myself."

After he finished speaking, he broke away from Qin An's hand again, walked ahead, and left the concert hall.

Li Baiqing's golf skills were mediocre, so he asked He Qianxian, who uses his left hand, to practice, but he didn't know that He Qianxian's left hand was also good, and Li Baiqing lost in a mess.

The two played two rounds, went upstairs to the bar to continue drinking, after a few drinks, Li Baiqing looked at He Qianxian's face, and said with a depressed mood: "That Qin An in your family is really hard to chase, you won't agree to anything when you ask him out. Fortunately, Bai Xufeng also said that he slept with him, and asked Xiaobai how he slept, but he refused to tell." He sighed deeply, but He Qianxian frowned.

"Could it be that you dislike me for being old?" Li Baiqing was two years younger than He Qianxian, and a full circle older than Qin An.His guess is not unreasonable, it's just that He Qianxian doesn't have the heart to listen to him at the moment, saying: "If you like it, just chase after it slowly, you will always be moved by your true feelings."

Li Baiqing shook his head and drank another glass of wine, "Xiaobai told me that I have no hope, and he also said something like 'I will never wake up the person who pretends to be asleep'. What does that mean? Who pretended to be asleep, and What does it have to do with me chasing a kid and waking up someone who is sleeping?"

He Qianxian snorted, "You have to ask him about that."

Speaking of this, Li Baiqing chuckled, "Xiaobai also said, let me not look forward to sleeping with Qin An, saying that his bed skills are terrible, but who knows, I have never tried it. Besides, if he is with me, I promise to fuck him very well, very well..."

Li Baiqing was obviously a little drunk, although his eyes were shining brightly, but he looked stupid, and he was afraid that he would fall asleep on the table in the next second.Sure enough, He Qianxian got up to leave when Li Boqing slammed his head on the table with a "bang", which made the table shake and the cup jumped up.

It was past twelve o'clock when He Qianxian returned home. When he entered the door, he saw Qin An sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing him, he said "You're back" and went upstairs.

Back in the room, He Qianxian was washing his teeth in the bathroom. While brushing his teeth, he looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly remembered that yesterday, he went to the celebration party held by Li Baiqing to celebrate the recovery of his useless right hand. basic functions.

After brushing his teeth, He Qianxian went downstairs and knocked on Qin An's door. The door was quickly opened. He Qianxian saw that there was a computer on Qin An's desk and the desk lamp was still on, and asked, "Aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Soon, how about you?" This kind of conversation was too dull and boring, He Qianxian couldn't continue the pleasantries, and said, "I forgot that yesterday was your birthday, I hope it's not too late, happy birthday."

Qin An almost smiled and thanked, He Qianxian said, "I don't have any presents to give you..."

"You have," Qin An interrupted him, He Qianxian looked up in surprise, Qin An said, "You can give me a present."

He Qianxian has no money now, and Qin An has earned it through hard work. He thinks Qin An is not rare.As soon as Qin An's words fell, He Qianxian knew what gift he wanted, but He Qianxian couldn't give it, and didn't want to give it.

"It's getting late, go to bed early." He Qianxian was about to leave, but Qin An grabbed him, this time he didn't grab He Qianxian's hand, but just gently held his wrist, "Can't stay with me ?”

Qin An's eyes were burning, "He Qianxian, I promise not to do anything."
