Stop loss

Qin Ge's singing attracted everyone in the bar, including Lu Chong who had not yet returned to the upstairs office area.

Lu Chong folded his hands and leaned against the stairs. From this dim angle, he could see Qin Ge playing and singing by himself, and he could also observe Chen Qiye's reaction by glancing to the side.

Then he went out the back door to light a cigarette in the open air, and after smoking another cigarette, Qin Ge opened the door to find him when his second cigarette was halfway lit, and approached him like a buddy to pick it up. Cigarette case in his pocket.

Lu Chong held down his hand as before to prevent him from succeeding. Qin Ge pouted to show his cuteness, but Lu Chong said without any room for negotiation: "We'll talk about it when you're an adult."

"It's only two months away!" Qin Ge's birthday is in mid-December, and after that day, he will be full.

"...that song just now was good." Lu Chong took another cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it, and put it back.

"Which song?" Qin Ge's voice jumped, as if saying that each of his songs is very good.

"The last song." Lu Chong said, "If it's Miss Chen, then I can agree to it at this time."

"How is it possible? I just saw that he was in a bad mood when he failed the monthly exam, so I casually comforted him."

"That's right." Lu Chong stared ahead, and deliberately elongated his voice, "After all...you are both men."

The smile on Qin Ge's face gradually faded, Lu Chong looked sideways at him, and stopped beating around the bush: "It's still too ambiguous."

A cool breeze blew by.

Take away what little warmth is left.

Qin Ge pulled out a smile: "What and what is this, we are both men, I—"

"Did you really not notice?" Lu Chong still had a serious face. He felt that even if Qin Ge couldn't see his eyes, he couldn't ignore Chen Qiye.

Qin Ge glanced away guiltily, and Lu Chong asked again, "Or is this what you want?"

Qin Ge muttered: "Uncle, don't be so eccentric..."

"You were not so tall when you were in junior high school." Lu Chong patted his shoulder, then squeezed it, and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big."

When Qin Ge was in junior high school, he often received love letters from girls. He didn't know how to tell Qi Miaomiao, so he showed those letters to Lu Chong.Lu Chong didn't allow him to fall in love like those traditional parents and teachers did, but he had a request for Qin Ge - even if the two of you can't make it to the end, as long as she is still your girlfriend, you have to be responsible for that person, Can't break her heart.

Qin Ge has very vivid negative teaching materials.His father, Qin Siyuan, once betrayed the oath of loyalty at the wedding and broke his mother's heart.

Intimacy hurts the most deadly. After more than ten years, his mother's heart is still broken and cannot be pieced together.

Qin Ge didn't say a word, Lu Chong simply said more bluntly: "I know you hate Chen Wang for destroying your family, but as you said before, Chen Qiye is innocent, you don't need to weave for him So many beautiful illusions, just for revenge—"

Lu Chong paused, and Qin Ge asked after a few seconds, "Revenge for what?"

"Who is taking revenge again?" He took a deep breath, no longer avoiding Lu Chong's gaze, and forced a smile with disappointment.

"You said over and over again that I am me, and Qin Siyuan is Qin Siyuan..." He put his hands on his hips to make himself bigger than Lu Chong, took a deep breath, and said "tear—" as if torn What kind of wound, "...Why today and now, I am no different from Qin Siyuan in your eyes."

Lu Chong was stopped by the question.

Qin Siyuan's genes are powerful. Qin Ge's face was almost carved out of the same mold as his father's when he was young. He was indeed hurt by Lu Chong's words. It seemed that whoever had blood on his body was destined to be unable to get rid of it. Whose influence and shadow.

"When I first met him... I did have this kind of thought." Qin Ge said, "But it was just 'had'."

Except for making a fake pass to take people out of the school, Qin Ge really did not harm Chen Qiye.

When Qin Ge returned to the bar lobby, Lin Ji's family left nearby, leaving Chen Xiye to sit in place.Qin Ge went to Lu Chong just now to ask when Lu Chong would leave, and if he could give Chen Qiye a ride.Now it seemed that there was no need for this, so he called a taxi, woke up Chen Qiye who was sleeping on the table, and sent him home.

He didn't know that Chen Qiye lived in school during the National Day, so he asked his master to drive to Nanyang Street.The stamina of those two sips of wine made Chen Qiye sleepy even in the car. The master braked suddenly and turned right. Chen Qiye, who was leaning on the seat, swayed and fell down, with his head resting on Qin Ge's lap.

Chen Qiye opened his eyes in a daze, propped himself up and apologized to Qin Ge, Qin Ge said he was fine, his face was expressionless, his eyes were so dark that no emotion could be seen, making people suspect that he was fake.

Chen Qiye suddenly woke up and dared not sleep again.

Not knowing what to say, the two sat by the left and right windows of the back seat without saying a word. Soon the master parked the car at the intersection of Nanyang Street. Can't drive in.

Chen Qiye glanced at the number on the meter and touched his pocket to pay, but he was penniless.Qin Ge didn't intend to ask him to pay. He scanned the QR code on his mobile phone to transfer the money, so Chen Qiye said, "Why don't you go home with me, and I'll return the money to you."

He spoke too fast, without thinking that it was not convenient to take a taxi at this time and place, but Qin Ge said, "Okay", and got out of the car with him and stepped on the stone-paved ground of Nanyang Street.

One autumn rain and one cold, Tanzhou has been rainy recently, and it is still the kind of continuous drizzle that falls several times a day.They were lucky. When they were in the car, light raindrops fell on the window. After getting out of the car, the rain stopped. The surface of each stone brick was smooth and wet. Between the bricks, half-finger-high weeds grew wildly. After the baptism of rain, there were plants and trees. fragrance.

The street lamps on Nanyang Street are as old as this street and useless. After walking for a short distance, Qin Ge took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight. Apart from the road they were about to walk, there were also closed doors and closed doors on both sides of the street that were illuminated. store.Time seems to have lost its flow on this street. When the neon lights are shining elsewhere and tall buildings are clustered, the storefronts here are all made of wooden doors. When opening, the four wooden boards are removed and put on the side, and the four wooden boards are hung back when the doors are closed in the evening.

Qin Ge also lit up Chen Qiye's face.

Chen Qiye couldn't stand the strong light for a while and used his hands to block it, thinking that Qin Ge was teasing him, but when he didn't feel the irritation, he opened his eyes, Qin Ge still looked indifferent.

"...Are you unhappy?" Chen Xiye asked, his voice was weak, but not timid.He seems to be used to it. Qin Ge may be such an emotional person. One moment he can come to the competition classroom to feed himself snacks every day, and the next moment he feels bored; one moment he sings encouraging songs on stage, and the next For a second, there was no expression at all, and Gao was cold and cold, as if the two of them didn't know each other.

And Qin Ge also had his own plans.

He broke up with Lu Chong just now, but Lu Chong really woke him up.He took it for granted that the essence of feeding Chen Xiye was to please himself, giving a watch was a matter of effort, and singing was improvisation, but in Chen Qiye's eyes, these things inevitably had a new meaning——

Chen Qiye obviously cared so much about his grades, yet he would skip class for himself; he was obviously timid, but he lied about himself and his teacher.

He really didn't want to harm Chen Qiye, but he was also more and more at a loss as to whether the relationship between him and Chen Qiye was self-defeating.

"Go through this alley and you will be there." Chen Qiye led the way, and Qin Ge followed him through the path to the three-story hut where four families lived.Chen Qiye was very embarrassed to let Qin Ge in, so he asked him to wait here for a while, then Qin Ge turned off the light of his mobile phone and said, "I didn't send you here for money."

Chen Qiye turned his back to the residential building and looked at Qin Ge. Qin Ge's tone was still calm, but at least he was not indifferent: "I just want to see you off."

"... Oh." Chen Xiye nodded, understanding.Qin Ge stopped talking, and restrained and decisively opened the boundary between the two. Before he turned and left, Chen Qiye suddenly rushed over, wrapped his arms around his waist, and buried his face sideways in the position of his heart.

Qin Ge took a step back unexpectedly, stepped on a small clump of weeds dripping with dew, and took another step back without falling.

His hands instinctively made a gesture of surrender and did not touch Chen Qiye's back. Chen Qiye still maintained this one-way hug and held on to Qin Ge's black sweater even more tightly.

Oh, Qin Ge suddenly realized that Chen Qiye was still wearing his work vest.

Qin Ge looked straight at the dilapidated building without light in front of him, his lips were slightly opened, and the breath he exhaled could form a faint white mist in the dark night. It really turned cold after the rain.

Then he looked up again, but without seeing the moonlight, he saw that the window on the second floor of the building was opened. The man leaned out slightly, holding the window sill with one hand so that half of his shoulders were raised, and the depression of the collarbone became more obvious. The other hand was holding a cigarette. , took a breath and then exhaled the white mist.

And when the white mist dissipated, Chen Wang's face was revealed again.

No one can escape time, and time also left traces on Chen Wang's face, but when Qin Ge looked up at him, he was smoking a cigarette and smiling lightly, there was still an indescribable charm that fascinated Qin Siyuan, and also Let Qin Siyuan's son be vigilant.

Qin Ge's hands that should have fallen on Chen Qiye's back pinched his shoulders, but Chen Qiye didn't cooperate very well, as if the beating of the heart next to his ears gave him courage, he said to Qin Ge: "I like you. "

Qin Ge suddenly lost his strength and was defeated at that moment.

At the same time, Chen Wang smiled lightly.

That laugh was not malicious.The light was dim, and Qin Ge might not be able to see clearly from Chen Wang's perspective, but Qin Ge seemed to be able to hear Chen Wang's sighs and sarcasm.

Chen Qiye didn't know that for a few seconds, if he hadn't firmly supported Qin Ge's waist, Qin Ge would really fall to the ground.

Qin Ge finally tried his best to pull Chen Qiye away from him. Chen Qiye was not too persistent. He only had the urge to say those four words. He didn't think about what to do after being rejected, or rather, he didn't think about it either. With that one in ten thousand possibility, what should Qin Ge do if he really accepts it.

"You're drunk." Qin Ge was trying to maintain the dignity of both parties, but Chen Qiye emphasized ignorantly: "I'm not drunk, I really like you."

Chen Wang has finished smoking that cigarette, and now he is leaning against the window, concentrating on admiring the calm waves on the turbulent waves.He laughed silently again, and raised his shoulders slightly with the pulling of the muscles on his face. It was a small unintentional movement, but Qin Ge felt that he was humiliating himself.

So he stubbornly resisted and told Chen Wang's son, "I'm not gay."

Qin Ge turned around and left. Chen Qiye slowed down after two steps. Compared with Qin Ge's heartbeat speeding up just now, he seemed to believe in Qin Ge's words more.

He looked back in a sense of loss, the window of his house on the second floor was open, it was pitch black inside, and there was no light left for him.

No one was waiting for him to come home.
