Reverse Approach

【21】

Early in the morning, Su Beimo's cell phone was full of electricity, and the green power indicator was lit to indicate that the battery was full.

Su Beimo stretched his waist, his whole body was sore. He hadn't exercised for a long time after work, and his muscles and bones were tense.He yawned and subconsciously reached for his phone. After looking at the broken screen for a long time, he didn't feel awkward.

Just as soon as he turned it on, his mobile phone popped up a lot of unread messages and seven missed calls as if in a daze.

They are all Liao Nanqing.

……

[I came to look for you in City B and waited for you at the gate of your community. ]

[I have arrived. ]

[I don’t answer the phone even if I see the message, I’m worried. ]

[It's eleven o'clock, isn't the party over yet? ]

[Actually, I bought a cake today, if you don’t come, I might not be able to resist eating it.I didn't eat dinner, I'm too hungry. ]

[Su Beimo? ]

[It's almost twelve o'clock, I wish you a happy birthday here first. ]

……

[It's late, why don't you come back, I'm so worried. ]

……

Su Beimo didn't even wash his face, and ran downstairs dragging a pair of flip flops.

Many old ladies in the community have just finished their morning exercises and come back in groups.Su Beimo took a few steps back and forth, looking past the passers-by, looking for Liao Nanqing in a panic.But after one night, there was no Liao Nanqing left.He saw a white cake box on the ground not far away, recalling the information he saw just now, he hurried forward, and when he bent down, he saw a card under the ribbon.

The cleaner not far away rushed over and said with a straight face, "This is mine!"

Su Beimo took out the card and opened the birthday card without refuting the cleaner.

He is very familiar with Liao Nanqing's characters.

It was neatly written: Su Beimo, I wish you a happy birthday and be happy every day.

Finally, there was a smear of ink that was unintentionally wiped away.

Liao Nanqing came last night. He saw Qiu Lu and misunderstood.

Su Beimo seemed to be completely sober after being poured with a basin of ice water in the cold winter months.He couldn't control anything, and immediately called Liao Nanqing with his broken mobile phone, but no matter how he called, it showed that he couldn't get through.Su Beimo booked the ticket at nine o'clock, but he couldn't calmly wait until nine o'clock before going back.Su Beimo packed his things and went to the station directly, and rebooked for an earlier train.

An hour and a half, once upon a time became so long.

He still called Liao Nanqing tirelessly over and over again, but the other end seemed to be silent.

Su Beimo was very anxious, his right cheek was slightly red, and there was still a slight palm print.Su Beimo touched Liao Nanqing's number again, but it didn't work.He dialed again, beep——

He begged Liao Nanqing countless times in his heart to answer his call once, and he was even worried that something happened to Liao Nanqing.Unknowingly, Su Beimo broke out in a cold sweat. He wiped his forehead indiscriminately, his head swollen.Apart from calling, he couldn't find any way to contact Liao Nanqing now.

The mobile phone was their only way of contacting him, he couldn't find him, so he could only keep calling Liao Nanqing's number, seeking a little peace of mind from the beeping tone of the phone.

Finally, the call was connected.

Liao Nanqing seemed to be woken up, his voice was hoarse and deep, and he was very listless.

"Nanqing." Su Beimo just got off the train, and the noise around him was so loud that he couldn't hear Liao Nanqing's words clearly.He walked quickly to a remote place and asked anxiously, "Where are you?"

Liao Nanqing was stunned, and took a long time to answer, with a strong nasal voice: "At home."

"What's wrong with your voice? Are you sick? Wait, I'll be right here."

"No, no need!" Liao Nanqing was choked by himself, coughed a few times, and couldn't even speak clearly, "No need to come here..."

However, Su Beimo has already hung up the phone hastily.

Liao Nanqing put down his cell phone, wrapped himself tightly in the thin blanket, and his throat seemed to be on fire.

The wind blew for so long last night, so it's no wonder I didn't get sick.Liao Nanqing left suddenly, so he was dressed thinly, and felt cold all over when he got home.He lay on the bed in a daze to catch up on sleep. Later, he felt too uncomfortable, so he searched through boxes and boxes to find some cold medicine granules to drink.During the period, I remembered that the phone was out of battery, and not long after it was plugged in, I was caught by Su Beimo's phone call.

Before he could stop Su Beimo, he was hung up.

Liao Nanqing got out of bed, his feet were limp, and he couldn't even find the place to put on his slippers.He was dizzy and unable to stand still, but still slowly shuffled to the living room.He sat on the sofa and waited for Su Beimo to come, fearing that he would fall asleep when he lay down on the bed.It won't be good if you don't hear the knock on the door for a while.

It's not good to wait for someone, and he doesn't want Su Beimo to feel it too.

But when Su Beimo came, Liao Nanqing was at his limit. The cold medicine had a slight sleeping effect, so he opened the door. Liao Nanqing's eyes went dark, and he fell straight into Su Beimo's arms.

Liao Nanqing was blown by the cold wind for so long and didn't sleep for another night, his whole body was burning hot.

Su Beimo picked him up and rushed him to the hospital, where he was put on an IV drip.Although Liao Nanqing is not as tall as Su Beimo, he is still a boy. Su Beimo still struggles to hold him for a long time, but he is not unable to hold him.

Liao Nanqing closed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were wet. He hugged Su Beimo and spoke nonsense, most of which were unconscious.

It wasn't until the nurse gave Liao Nanqing an injection that he reacted a little and regained consciousness a little.Liao Nanqing, who was sick, would show weakness even more. He looked at Su Beimo, and the grievance in his eyes almost came out with tears. Su Beimo rubbed his head: "Be obedient, sleep for a while."

Liao Nanqing nodded honestly, tilted his head and soon fell asleep. Su Beimo covered him with a blanket, and rubbed his other hand that hadn't been needled.It seemed that his hands would not warm no matter how much he covered them. Su Beimo was restless, like ants on a hot pot.

He asked the nurse to borrow a small warm water bag, wrapped in a towel, and placed it under Liao Nanqing's dripping hand.

Taking advantage of Liao Nanqing's deep sleep, Su Beimo called and asked Su Ya to cook some porridge, and he would go back to pick it up later.Unexpectedly, when Su Ya heard that Liao Nanqing was ill, she said that she would send it to her soon.

Su Beimo sat beside Liao Nanqing, remembering that on the way to the hospital, Liao Nanqing was nestled in his arms, and asked in a daze, "Su Beimo, will you leave me?"

"will not."

"Will you leave me like Mom and Dad?"

"I do not know!"

"If you leave too, what should I do..."

"Do you have cotton stuffed in your ears?"

"I'm always alone..." It's the same when I go to a new school. No matter how good Xu Yanyan and Ge Yun are, they are not family members.They have their own lives and circles, and there is only so much that can be given to him.

Only Su Beimo is an existence beyond his family.But Liao Nanqing clearly understood that Su Beimo also had his own circle.

Su Beimo has always accommodated him and tolerated him.

Just because Su Beimo is a 'good guy'.

Liao Nanqing wanted to ask himself what qualifications he had to keep Su Beimo by his side. He couldn't do it without letting other people set foot in his life.His liking might be a great pressure for Su Beimo.

Just like what my stepfather said before, I am a burden...

There was a wall in his heart, he couldn't climb over it, couldn't break it open, it suffocated him, he could only whimper and complain: "I don't want to be separated from you, I don't want to..."

"Nanqing, sleep for a while." Su Beimo leaned close to his ear, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Liao Nanqing still muttered.

Su Beimo understood, now Liao Nanqing couldn't hear what he said at all.He was so burned out that he could only talk to himself.Su Beimo touched his cheek and urged the driver to drive faster.

From time to time, Su Beimo would touch Liao Nanqing's forehead.Burning heartburn, Su Beimo frowned, hugged him even tighter, and patted him on the back gently.

Liao Nanqing smelled the breath on Su Beimo's body, tried his best to rub it, and said stupidly, "the cake is gone, I can't blow out the candles, I really want to eat it, I have never eaten it, this time I will Didn't eat..."

"I'll buy it for you next time."

"I didn't eat it...I bought it with the money I've saved for a long time, and I want to give it to you." He suddenly pursed his mouth and began to cry softly.

The driver in front looked complicated, and glanced in the rearview mirror: "Dude, is your brother sick and confused?"

Su Beimo didn't answer, and gently wiped Liao Nanqing's tears, Liao Nanqing raised his head and said, "Su Beimo."

"Huh?" He responded gently.

"I don't want to be separated from you."

"No separation." Su Beimo said, "I will beat anyone who tells us to separate."

Liao Nanqing listened to this sentence, closed his eyes, and calmed down quietly.

Liao Nanqing who was asleep was as obedient as he was usually, with his long eyelashes trembling with his breathing.He didn't sleep well, maybe because of his own discomfort.Before the drip was finished, Liao Nanqing woke up and coughed twice.

Su Beimo poured some water out of the thermos, brought it to his mouth and blew a few mouthfuls to make sure it wasn't hot, then handed it over to Liao Nanqing to drink.

"Su Beimo..." Liao Nanqing called weakly.

"Drink water first." Su Beimo turned around to get the porridge that Su Ya had just sent, thinking that Liao Nanqing must be starving.

Liao Nanqing knew that he was still causing trouble to others, so he took the water glass calmly and drank it in small sips.His eyes caught on to the drip he was getting, and he asked in a low voice, "How much is this?"

Su Beimo made up a random number: "Two thousand."

In the end, Liao Nanqing believed everything he said, and his face turned pale with fright in an instant, and he said, "Then I, then I will write you an IOU, my mother...maybe it will take a few days before I pay my living expenses." He said The monthly living expenses are at most [-] yuan, so you can live frugally.He fumbled in his pocket, took out a few [-]'s, held them in his palm, and wanted to give them to Su Beimo first.

But Su Beimo held down his hand.

"You can believe anything you say." Su Beimo said in a deep voice, "Do you think the hospital is a black shop?"

Liao Nanqing was confused. After thinking about it carefully, he knew that Su Beimo was joking.He relaxed in embarrassment, and lay down without saying a word, picking at the corner of the blanket with one hand.

Su Beimo poured a small bowl of porridge, Liao Nanqing looked at him intently, and looked away before he turned his head.

"My phone was broken yesterday." Su Beimo opened the mouth first, "That girl is just a colleague of mine. She sprained her ankle, didn't bring her keys, and didn't dare to go to the hotel alone, so she came to my house to stay overnight. "

This reason sounds ridiculous.

"..." Liao Nanqing moved his lips, not knowing what to reply, his heart was numb.

"But she found the key later, so she went back." Su Beimo took out a clean spoon, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and blew it, and then sent it to Liao Nanqing's mouth after it was warm, "Even if she didn't find the key , I will also go to the hotel to stay."

Liao Nanqing ate the spoonful of porridge and couldn't taste it.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Beimo, and said softly, "Why are you explaining this to me..."

"Because we are friends, if I fall in love, I will definitely tell you." Su Beimo raised his eyebrows, with a smile and a sense of course, "Come on, open your mouth. Seeing that you look malnourished, Have you not eaten well for a while?"

Liao Nanqing had to open his mouth to drink the porridge again. He slowly tasted the pine nuts in it, slurped it, and looked forward to the next spoonful: "I eat very well. The school cafeteria is cheap and delicious. .”

"Oh, it's better than what I made?"

"Of course not!" Liao Nanqing was anxious, "Your cooking is the best!"

After finishing speaking, Su Beimo was fed a mouthful of pine nut porridge one after another. Su Beimo turned his head away and snickered, and said in a blink of an eye, "Got it, drink the porridge quickly."

The mellow taste spread, and together with the relaxed heart after hearing the explanation, it fell slowly.

Settle down.

His liking will become gentle and no longer impatient because of Su Beimo's comfort.As long as he was by Su Beimo's side, he would be satisfied.

Once Liao Nanqing relaxes, he will feel very hungry.

Like a bird waiting to be fed, he stretched his neck and waited for the porridge to drink.Su Beimo slowed down on purpose, and Liao Nanqing reached out to grab the corner of his clothes. Because he was still sick, he begged for food softly: "I'm so hungry, Su Beimo."

"Nanqing." Su Beimo didn't stop feeding the porridge.

"Ok?"

"Did you wait for me so long yesterday just to celebrate my birthday with me?"

Slowly, Liao Nanqing's voice was waxy and nasal: "I, did I cause you trouble? I'm sorry, I won't do it next time, and I will go with your permission." Every time he got nervous , I stutter a little when I speak.Coupled with the bag of drips hanging above his head, Liao Nanqing was sure that he was indeed causing trouble for Su Beimo.

He rubbed his eyes, looked downcastly at the blanket covering his body, and reassured in frustration that he would not do it again, and dared not.

He was afraid that Su Beimo would really be angry with him.

"No, you didn't cause me any trouble." Su Beimo put down the porridge bowl, hesitated for a moment, then held his hand, his movements were almost gentle, "I'm very happy. But I'm also worried, if I can't wait for you in the future , don’t wait any longer.”

Hearing that Su Beimo wasn't blaming, Liao Nanqing's eyes instantly lit up with light, slightly, vaguely like embellishments among the stars.It was inconspicuous, but filled with Su Beimo's boundless heart, filling it up bit by bit.

Liao Nanqing said, "I want to wait." He laughed, with two inconspicuous dimples on his lips: "Although it's a bit late, happy birthday, Su Beimo."

I hope you are happy every day.

Because you are happy, I will be happy too.
