call my name

Chapter 9 Overnight

Lin Xia was even more embarrassed: "Well, the crew doesn't have any spare rooms in this hotel; because it's not a regular business trip, the company won't reimburse him if he lives in a nearby hotel..."

Originally, he never minded talking about the embarrassment of his financial situation to others, but it was different in front of Qi Yue, and he tried to appear indifferent: "Anyway, I grew up together, and we used to sleep together on bunk beds, no too crowded."

Qi Yue picked up the chopsticks again, lowered his head and fiddled with the food on the plate, with the expression of a picky and willful child: "It seems that you have a good relationship, and he takes good care of you."

Although Lin Xia felt his unhappiness, but couldn't figure out the reason, he said truthfully: "Well, although we were not close in the orphanage when we were young, we came to S City together when we grew up, and he took good care of me, and there is a good thing Take me with you. We have no relatives, so naturally we are like brothers."

Qi Yue put the leftovers aside, and used his chopsticks to draw circles on the plate boredly: "Oh."

It turned out that Qi Yue's expression didn't change when he was in a low mood, but the corners of his upturned mouth would be flattened and slightly pursed—Lin Xia, who was sitting across from him, secretly recorded this new discovery.

Having nothing to say for a while, Qi Yue got up first, picked up the dinner plate and walked towards the cutlery recycling port.Lin Xia still thought that he would be hungry if he didn't eat a few bites, so he suggested: "Are you tired of this restaurant? Why don't we go out and find something else to eat, so you don't feel hungry."

Qi Yue finally came to his senses, teasingly said: "Are you buying me again?"

Lin Xia patted his pockets briskly: "Okay!" - He has always been saving, but found that he loves to be poor and generous in front of Qi Yue, and he is very happy every time he pays.

But it was very effective - Qi Yue tilted his head and looked at him, smiling brightly.

The two walked out of the restaurant and passed the lobby, tacitly bypassing Tian Bin who was at the front desk and entertaining the foreign workers at the same time, like a naughty child avoiding his parents, and walked out the door in one breath.

The rain has stopped, and the whole town is clean and refreshing.

Originally, Lin Xia didn't intend to drink, but Qi Yue talked about himself as soon as he sat down.Probably because he talked about brotherhood before, Qi Yue told him about his family.It turns out that Qi Yue also has an elder brother, but he disappeared two years ago and his whereabouts are still unknown. Qi Yue has been studying in the UK, and because of this incident, he had to interrupt his studies and come back to help the family.

Qi Yue was very sad while talking.The person who usually has such a good-looking smile, his eyelashes drooping slightly, as if looking for a sustenance, unconsciously rubbed the simple wine glass of the small restaurant back and forth in the palm of his hand.

I'm afraid that anyone who sees it will feel distressed.

Lin Xia suddenly understood why he felt different when he saw him for the first time - not because Qi Yue had a near-perfect appearance and elegant temperament, and not only because he smiled brightly at him like the morning sun and the morning sun ; but under his eyes, even under his skin, there is an imperceptible sadness hidden—like the unfathomable mist after the rain, which is light and not heavy, but it can't be shaken away.

Now Qi Yue took the initiative to show him a corner under the mist, but Lin Xia was clumsy and unable to comfort him, he couldn't utter a few words, and his words didn't convey his meaning at all; in desperation, he bravely opened a bottle of fresh water. Beer: "Look, I'm not very good at talking, anyway... it's all in the wine!"

Before Qi Yue could respond, he raised his neck and finished the bottle with a gurgle.The moment I put the bottom of the bottle on the table, I felt like I had become another person, no longer the dull and boring Lin Xia, but a carefree young man, very relaxed and refreshing.

So he opened a second bottle.

Qi Yue's eyes widened since he started drinking, and wanted to stop him when he saw this: "You can't drink too fast with your drinking capacity..."

Lin Xia pushed his hand away and filled the cup: "Who says I can't do it! If you are a man, you can't say no!"

Hey, the alcohol seems to have come up?

……

The picture I remembered later was that Qi Yue sat back opposite him, stretched out his arms angrily, and took all the unopened wine on the table to his side, not allowing him to take any more, while looking at him funny and helpless.

This drink is worth it.Before getting drunk, Lin Xia thought in a daze that she could see him so vividly.

***

When I woke up with a hangover headache, my eyes were still open, and the familiar smell of men's perfume mixed with cotton fabrics and a touch of body odor entered the nasal cavity.

Lin Xia managed to open his eyes.

The style of the room is indeed a crew hotel, but this is not his own room - the light from the gap in the curtains falls on the sofa next to him, and the clothes that originally occupied half of the bed are piled up randomly on it.

It's Qi Yue's room.

Lin Xia turned her head to look at the side almost immediately - fortunately, there was no one on the other side of the bed.

But there was a faint indentation on the pillow after getting up.

Lin Xia stared at the gravure in a daze before her mind fully recovered.

——There is no doubt that he slept next to Qi Yue all night after he was drunk.

Lin Xia's drinking capacity is really pitiful, and she can't remember how she went back to the hotel last night, how she slept in Qi Yue's room... In less than two weeks since they met each other, she has already been drunk twice in front of others, each time getting more and more embarrassing.Losing face is certain, and the only thing I can think about now is to pray that I don't have any bad habits of playing drunk and crazy.

Before he had time to think about it, Qi Yue's voice came from the bathroom. He seemed to be on the phone, but the volume was deliberately lowered.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Lin Xia sat up and cheered herself up: They are all big men, it's just that the drinking buddies are drunk and staying overnight, and her clothes are still on her body.It can be imagined that Qi Yue must have been very tired after supporting him all the way back last night. He probably threw the clothes on the sofa and threw him on the bed carelessly, and lay down to sleep by himself.

People have always been frank, why are you always coy?Hurry up and say hello to him!

Lin Xia got up to comb her hair, and knocked on the bathroom door as naturally as possible.

As expected, Qi Yue was on the phone, and he opened the door while finishing in a hurry: "...Yes, just follow this plan. After you confirm it, ask someone to send these documents to me for signature... That's it."

He hung up the phone, and asked with concern: "Are you awake? Are you still feeling well? Tian Bin has asked for leave from the director for you, so I won't be filming today and have a good rest." While talking, he put away the laptop on the sink: "You take a shower first, and we'll go down for dinner later."

It turned out that in order not to wake himself up, he hid in the bathroom and closed the door to deal with his company's affairs.

Lin Xia immediately forgot the embarrassment and was only moved: "I... have caused you trouble. Are you dealing with business?"

"Oh, after I return to China, I will take care of some property for my family." Qi Yue replied casually.He was not polite, put the computer under his arm, turned around and looked closely at Lin Xia: "I worked so hard to bring you back last night, and I took you in the room, do you have anything else to say?"

"And..." Since the last time his finger was inadvertently held by him, Lin Xia couldn't bear such a close look at each other, and involuntarily opened his eyes, his brain short-circuited instantly, and he said: "Also, You look really good in those glasses."

Qi Yue laughed, reached out and rubbed his hair: "You are very cute, Axia."

I didn't take a shower yesterday, and Lin Xia was worried that his hair would be oily and he would touch her, so she quickly moved away: "Then I... go back to my room to take a shower, and I have to change clothes."

Qi Yue grabbed him, with elegant movements, but with a commanding tone: "Isn't Tian Bin still at your place? You wash here, and if you change clothes, you can wear mine."

Lin Xia instinctively wanted to refuse, but Qi Yue didn't let go: "You go back wearing yesterday's clothes, and let others see that you don't come back at night. It won't affect you well, Axia?"

Eh, but he was never going home at night.

Qi Yue thought for a while, and further explained: "Don't look at my clothes are piled up in a mess, but they are all clean. It's just that I don't like the smell left on them after washing in the hotel. They just spread them out."

Trapped in the small bathroom space, partly illuminated by the soft light, and partly surrounded by Qi Yue's shadow under the light, Lin Xia began to feel breathless again.

So he quickly compromised: "I'm not, I don't think your clothes are messy...Okay, okay, you can lend me one, and I'll go back to the room after washing and changing."

Before closing the bathroom door, Qi Yue turned his head and blinked at him, his gentle gold-rimmed glasses showed a little narrowness: "By the way, your little snoring sound is very pleasant when you are asleep."

……

Lin Xia stood under the shower head to wash her hair, the foam was already falling into her eyes, but she still scratched her scalp in confusion.

Am I really sleeping and snoring?No way, otherwise, I was scolded by others in the orphanage before.Maybe it was because of the alcohol?

Lin Xia imagined how drunk she was on Qi Yue's bed snoring, scratching her head fiercely - she would never drink again, especially in front of Qi Yue.

The influence relationship between people is sometimes irregular: in the orphanage, some people who lived in the same room all the year round said a lot of harsh words to him, calling him ugly and red-spotted. There was no mood swing at all; but Qi Yue, who had just met not long ago, made a light joke, but he cared so much that he scratched his scalp.

Maybe it's because I think my image is perfect after removing the scars on my face, so I can't listen to other people's criticisms.
