After Hell

Edmond asked Qin Yijie to transfer to Qinglin University. On the one hand, it was a trick, and on the other hand, he felt that the art major of Qin Yijie's current university was not as good as Qinglin University.Qin Yijie argued with him for a few words, but still agreed.Because he also wanted to test whether Zhang Xiaoheng was reluctant to part with him.

Qin Yijie is actually a very perceptive person.Except when facing Zhang Xiaoheng, he would become abnormally dull because of the inferiority complex caused by too much care and long-term secret love.

Qin Yijie knew about Liu Zhaofeng a long time ago.He is Zhang Xiaoheng's good buddy who has been very close since junior high school.Qin Yijie himself and Liu Zhaofeng have nothing to do with each other, the only intersection between the two is Zhang Xiaoheng.Liu Zhaofeng's eyes were red with anxiety at this moment, Qin Yijie had already guessed who he was for and why he beat him like this.

It is estimated that Liu Zhaofeng knew what he did to Zhang Xiaoheng before.

Thinking of this, Qin Yijie vomited a mouthful of blood to the side, but did not fight back.Liu Zhaofeng's punch just now wasn't particularly harsh, maybe it was because he ran all the way and used up almost all his strength, but that punch still broke Qin Yijie's mouth.

Qin Yijie had always been very guilty about Zhang Xiaoheng's affairs before, and he didn't know what method to use to get rid of this guilt.Zhang Xiaoheng would definitely not beat him up like Liu Zhaofeng. Zhang Xiaoheng's character has always been soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he doesn't like to use violence to solve problems.Therefore, this kind of guilt tormented Qin Yijie for a week, causing him to feel ashamed to appear in front of Zhang Xiaoheng every time he thought about it.I came to see Zhang Xiaoheng today, and it was through Edmond's repeated enlightenment and the longing for Zhang Xiaoheng in my heart that he finally mustered up the courage to come.

Seeing Liu Zhaofeng rushing over angrily, Zhang Xiaoheng felt very surprised when he beat Qin Yijie without saying a word. At the same time, he quickly grabbed his friend's arm to stop Liu Zhaofeng from going forward to beat Qin Yijie again:

"Zhaofeng?! What are you doing?!"

"What are you doing?! Hit him!" Liu Zhaofeng stood on the spot and took a few deep breaths to adjust his breathing, then he threw off Zhang Xiaoheng's hand, stepped in front of Qin Yijie, grabbed his collar desperately and shouted at him: "What are you talking about?" Speak! What did you do to my buddy at the bar?!"

Listening to Liu Zhaofeng's angry questioning, Zhang Xiaoheng immediately understood that Liu Zhaofeng knew that he was forced by Qin Yijie.Zhang Xiaoheng became flustered in an instant, thinking repeatedly in his mind about how Liu Zhaofeng knew about this, so he asked, "Zhaofeng, how did you know?!"

"Xiaolin came to school crying today, saying that she met your colleague when she was shopping for groceries, and she found out from him." Liu Zhaofeng quickly replied to Zhang Xiaoheng, rolled up his sleeves and raised his fist to throw at Qin Yijie. , Occasionally, a fist fell on the face, and Qin Yijie's handsome face was immediately swollen.

Just when Zhang Xiaoheng was in a daze, Liu Zhaofeng had already slapped Qin Yijie a few times: "Where is Zhengchou going to find you, I didn't expect you to come to the door automatically!" His fists landed on Qin Yijie's chest and abdomen one after another, every time There is a strong wind in the punches.

Zhang Xiaoheng stared blankly at Qin Yijie clenching his teeth, not saying a word, not dodging a single punch, and not even fighting back.He suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart, rushed up to hold Liu Zhaofeng forcefully, and shouted anxiously:

"Zhaofeng stop! Those are all misunderstandings!"

However, it is so easy for a person who is so angry to be restrained by one person.Even though Zhang Xiaoheng had pulled hard, he still couldn't stop Liu Zhaofeng's fist.

"Misunderstanding?! Can this be misunderstood?!" Liu Zhaofeng didn't believe it at all.

The beating took place right next to the store entrance.Although the rain is getting heavier and there are already signs of heavy rain, the flow of people commuting to and from get off work on the street at this time has been reduced.But there are still a few passers-by who braved the heavy rain and stopped a few meters away to watch.

The clerk in the convenience store had noticed the situation here long ago, but since Zhang Xiaoheng was an acquaintance, he never dared to call the police.

Liu Zhaofeng didn't stop beating him ten times in a row, and he was very tired. Seeing Qin Yijie, who gritted his teeth and was being beaten silently, so resignedly, he finally stopped and let out a few big breaths, gasping for breath while staring at this boy.

"You're right...cough cough...I, what I did, I will not deny it." Qin Yijie saw that the other party stopped, and then let out a breath to relax his tense body.

"Yoha! That's fine, you! You're not considered a coward if you dare to admit it." Liu Zhaofeng rested for a moment, and after recovering, he wanted to continue beating Qin Yijie.

Zhang Xiaoheng was worried that if Liu Zhaofeng continued to fight, Qin Yijie who didn't fight back would be beaten badly by him.This time he didn't care about it at all, he rushed between the two of them and tried his best to separate them, his tone was rare and severe: "Qin Yijie, please don't say a few words. It's none of your business. You hurry up!"

Liu Zhaofeng saw that his friend, who was always smiling, got angry at this moment, and the anger in his mind subsided a lot in an instant.He looked at Zhang Xiaoheng suspiciously, but unexpectedly saw a faint glimmer of water appearing in Zhang Xiaoheng's eyes.

Qin Yijie was also taken aback when he saw Zhang Xiaoheng's eyes were red.So he didn't continue to argue with Liu Zhaofeng, but slowly stood up from the ground, picked up the fallen umbrella and stuffed it into Zhang Xiaoheng's hand:

"It's raining so heavily, you don't have an umbrella. I'll give you mine. I'll go first." After speaking, Qin Yijie rushed into the rainy sky and ran away without waiting for Zhang Xiaoheng to speak.

Zhang Xiaoheng looked at Qin Yijie's figure walking away from him again, no longer as tall and straight as before, with his back slightly on his back, thinking that his body must be in pain.Liu Zhaofeng's beatings just now were very ruthless, and Qin Yijie didn't hide at all, so he must have been beaten hard.

Zhang Xiaoheng said how he felt about Qin Yijie if he didn't show up in his heart. He only knew that he felt very sad now. Seeing the proud Qin Yijie leave like that, Zhang Xiaoheng's heart was full of sourness and distress.

Liu Zhaofeng was a little dumbfounded at this moment.For a while, he looked at the direction where Qin Yijie had run away, and for a while he looked at his friend staring into the distance, still muttering something.He leaned closer to Zhang Xiaoheng, and heard him subconsciously calling Qin Yijie's name softly.

No matter how you look at this scene, it's weird.

Liu Zhaofeng's brow was sweating immediately, and goosebumps inevitably appeared in his heart, wondering whether he had committed a foolish thing or done something stupid? !No matter how you look at Zhang Xiaoheng's posture and tone of protecting Qin Yijie, it's like protecting his little lover...

Liu Zhaofeng scratched his head depressingly, seeing his buddy reluctantly staring at the rain curtain and being drenched in heavy rain is not a problem, so he took the umbrella from Zhang Xiaoheng's hand, opened it, and stood there in the rain Zhang Xiaoheng walked in the direction of his house.

*****************

Zhang Xiaoheng no longer remembers how he got home.

There was only a vague impression in his mind: after Liu Zhaofeng sent him over, he stayed for a while and left.When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had already showered and changed into clean clothes.

My younger sister Xiaolin came over with a bowl of hot ginger soup, and called him softly: "Brother, come and drink the ginger soup. You got caught in the rain today, so be careful of catching a cold."

Zhang Xiaoheng took the ginger soup silently, and drank it slowly, one sip at a time.It's been a while since he went home, but his mood is always low, his mind is full of the lonely back of Qin Yijie when he left just now.It wasn't until he saw his younger sister sitting opposite him, holding a round glass jar in her hand, wiping it back and forth, that he distracted his mind a little.

"Xiaolin, what are you doing..." Zhang Xiaoheng felt a little kind when he saw the colorful paper cranes in the glass jar.He stared at the glass jar for a moment before he remembered that it was a birthday present for his sister when he was in the third grade of junior high school.

"It's raining outside, so I can't go out for a walk. Just take out the old things and wipe them." Zhang Xiaolin looked at the jar with a smile, with a gentle look on her face that was very similar to Zhang Xiaoheng: "Brother, do you still remember it?"

"Well, I remember. The 1000 paper cranes you ordered me to stack for you before." Zhang Xiaoheng sighed, and his heart softened: "I remember that year when you made this request, your parents still laughed at your childishness."

"Yeah...hehe..." Zhang Xiaolin seemed to remember the scene at that time, and stuck out her tongue mischievously: "But brother, you still folded it for me." At that time, both parents were still there, and it was really very strange at that time. happiness.

Zhang Xiaoheng saw his younger sister gently wipe the glass bottle. The paper crane in the bottle was sealed well, so even after several years, it still looks bright in color and shows no signs of fading.

Just like some warm memories of happiness, they will never fade in any case.Because it has always been sealed in the bottom of my heart by the people who remember it, and cherished and cared for.

Human memory is really amazing.After so many years, you thought you had forgotten.But when I see some contact points, it will pop up in my mind inadvertently.Just like a fountain that has been dry for a long time, as long as it is filled with water and powered on, it will immediately emit a steady stream of vitality and show the clear water it should have.

……

06:30 in the morning.

Listening to the noisy music ringing in my ears, the fountain in my memory suddenly spewed out beautiful water splashes. When Zhang Xiaoheng woke up to the intermittent sound of birdsong in the morning, his mind immediately flooded with Memories of the first time I saw Qin Yijie.

In the bright sun of the third year of junior high school, the little boy under the locust tree stared at the paper crane in his hand with longing eyes.

"Senior, what are you stacking?"

"Senior, today is my birthday."

In the third year of high school, the student who often appeared in the library and sat quietly beside him.

"Senior, I don't know this question, can you teach me?"

"Senior, would you like some orange juice?"

"Senior, can you make paper cranes?"

Although Zhang Xiaoheng never asked his name, when he was teaching the boy to do the questions, Zhang Xiaoheng once glanced at the boy's name from the notebook he opened:

——Qin Yijie.

Yes!That's right! !It's him!

Qin Yijie!

Qin Yijie! !

Zhang Xiaoheng, who was still in a drowsy sleep, suddenly saw some distant and vague handwriting on the notebook while he was half asleep and half awake!He suddenly sat up from the bed, clutching the collar of his pajamas tightly, only then did he realize that he was already sweating profusely.

It's Qin Yijie!It was the thin boy who always had a shy smile!

Lost memories are retrieved at this moment.The youthful face of the boy in the dream overlapped with the chiseled face of the now mature man Qin Yijie.

Qin Yijie really didn't lie to him.They really have known each other for a long time.And it was very early, as early as when I was in junior high school, I met Qin Yijie.Later, I "ran into" again in high school.

Until now, Zhang Xiaoheng would never laugh it off again, saying that all the encounters were just coincidences.

The coincidence that keeps repeating must be because someone gave his heart, and when he didn't know it, he silently guarded this heart for so long.

"It turned out to be that time, that brat in junior high school..." Zhang Xiaoheng leaned against the wall and muttered to himself a little exhausted and relieved.I didn't expect that kid to be so tall and handsome now.At that time, he was obviously very short, dark and thin, and a little timid, looking pitiful.I haven't seen him in the past few years, but the boy's appearance has changed so much.

This...is simply fraud...

With a wry smile, Zhang Xiaoheng recalled Qin Yijie's appearance when he was a teenager, and after meeting him in After Hell, he was forced to have a relationship with him, and then he unconsciously fell in love with him.It turned out that they had known each other for a long time, and they didn't know what kind of mental journey Qin Yijie had gone through in the past few years.Recalling the provocation Simon once explained to himself, recalling the hidden message in Edmond's words, Zhang Xiaoheng's heart could no longer be calm.The judgment of Qin Yijie in his heart has been completely reshuffled by these facts that cannot be ignored.At this time, he clearly found that he felt sorry for Qin Yijie, and he was moved that could not be ignored.

The thoughts in his head were chaotic, and the feelings in his heart tended to be faintly surging. Qin Yijie's youthful appearance and his current masculine appearance repeatedly appeared in his heart. Zhang Xiaoheng was immersed in various memories, feeling his own heartbeat getting faster and faster .
