South of Chutian

When the three met, Jiang Ya was still anxiously leaning next to Tang Heng, and kept asking, "Are you okay? I know a psychologist from the University of Science and Technology School of Medicine, and I will take you to meet him? Why don't we go directly to the hospital... ..."

Tang Heng sullenly said in a low voice, "I'm fine, let's go back."

"Damn, you don't seem to be okay...you wait!" Jiang Ya quickly ran to the convenience store across the street.

Tang Heng and Li Yuechi stood on the same spot, with a distance of three or five steps between them, Li Yuechi asked, "How is it?"

"He said it all..."

"I was asking how are you doing?"

"I'm okay."

Li Yuechi nodded slightly, and didn't ask anything else.

Tang Heng didn't want to make himself look too fragile.Although when he walked out of Bao Lei's office, he did feel the urge to vomit, but whenever he thought about what Li Yuechi had experienced six years ago, he felt that these were nothing.

Moreover, Jiang Ya knows what happened to him in England, and he doesn't want to make Jiang Yatai nervous.

"Come on, drink some..." Jiang Ya ran out and stuffed the hawthorn juice to Tang Heng, "Are you sick?"

"Thank you..." Tang Heng said.

The iced hawthorn juice slowly trickled down his throat, making Tang Heng shiver slightly.What's worse, it seems that because of the ice, not only did the nausea not subside, but even the stomach began to ache.

He had been on antidepressants for several years, and one of the side effects was severe indigestion, which turned into occasional bouts of gastritis when the drugs were stopped.

"Let's go eat something..." Jiang Ya took out her mobile phone and asked Tang Heng, "What do you want to eat? Let me check..."

"I'm not hungry, you eat."

"You have to eat even if you're not hungry. You didn't move your chopsticks much during the lunch."

"It's okay, I—"

"Eat a little bit..." Li Yuechi came over and said softly, "Then take a good rest and don't think about anything."

They went to a Hunan restaurant nearby. At 05:30 in the afternoon, the number of diners had gradually increased and the voices were noisy.Jiang Ya patted her chest to emphasize his treat, then specially ordered two refreshing seasonal vegetables for Tang Heng, ordered a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and said to Li Yuechi, "How many glasses shall we have?"

Li Yuechi said: "Drink..."

Jiang Ya took a sip to herself, feeling very comfortable: "Hey - I haven't had a drink for many years."

Li Yuechi smiled lightly and asked, "Is there any in the United States?"

"Yes, but why should I drink myself?"

"Are you not in love..." Tang Heng asked.

"After two talks, we broke up in two months..." Jiang Ya shrugged, "Afterwards, I went to class every day to do experiments, and I didn't have time to do these things. Hey, it's all a mess of undergraduates. After I went out, I found that there were too many things that were lacking... ..."

Tang Heng: "Six years ago, would you dare to believe this?"

"Yeah..." Jiang Ya and Li Yuechi clinked glasses, and sighed with a smile, "At that time, I always felt that I should be a rockstar."

"What about you?" Jiang Ya turned to ask Li Yuechi, "These two years...how have you been?"

Tang Heng remained silent, his whole body tensed up suddenly.

He also wanted to know how Li Yuechi had been in the past two years.

No, to be precise, he wants to know more - what has Li Yuechi experienced in the past six years?In prison, after being released... six years, more than 2000 days and nights, even if the word "bad" can be summed up, he wants to know what kind of "bad" it is?

"That's it..." Li Yuechi swallowed a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and said in a flat tone, "After I came out, I opened a shop with my classmates to sell some souvenirs."

"Opening a shop, isn't that hard work?" Jiang Ya quickly glanced at Tang Heng, "Do you earn a lot?"

"Not much, but enough."

"That's good, let's take it easy, hey, let Tang Heng invest in you in the future, and set up a branch in other places... right Tang Heng?"

"Hmm..." Tang Heng nodded heavily, "The beef jerky in the store is delicious."

Li Yuechi smiled: "Let's talk about it..."

After that, Li Yuechi stopped talking about himself, and Jiang Ya probably didn't dare to ask more questions, so he kept talking about his life in the United States for the past few years.He complained about the rough American food, about the big brother who robbed him of his wallet, about the occasional frightening gunshots in the city, and finally, he hugged Tang Heng's neck tightly and said, "It's a good thing you didn't go to America to study. ...Damn it, it's too difficult to graduate."

He didn't know the real reason why Tang Heng gave up the offer back then.

Tang Heng's heart beat like a drum, and he watched helplessly as he picked up a wild pepper—then twisted his wrist and put it into his mouth.The next second, when he realized it, the tip of his tongue was already numb, and his eyes were filled with tears.

And the waiter just added boiling hot water to the teapot.

Tang Heng was in a panic, Li Yuechi pushed the wine glass over: "Two sips first..." Then he got up and walked quickly to the cashier to buy a bottle of mineral water.

At this time, Tang Heng had already finished Li Yuechi's wine.

"Drink all?" Li Yuechi frowned, "Can you drink?"

"I can..." Tang Heng wiped the tears off his face, and mumbled, "I don't drink much..."

Jiang Ya said to Li Yuechi: "Don't worry, the alcohol content is not high, and he won't be drunk—I know his volume."

"That's right..." Tang Heng agreed, "I won't get drunk..."

In fact, at this time, Tang Heng already felt his face was getting hot.

He really didn't drink much in the past few years, because the doctor said that drinking can damage the brain, especially because his mental state is not very stable.

At the end of the meal, Tang Heng was carried back to the hotel by Jiang Ya.His brain became very chaotic, he only remembered that Li Yuechi was following them, he looked back at him, the night wind was howling, Li Yuechi walked alone in the wind, looking alone.

Jiang Ya helped him into the elevator, and complained: "You've regressed too fast, it wasn't like this before!"

Tang Heng said drowsily, "Thank you..."

"My brothers, why are you being so polite? Didn't I come back here just because of you? Be careful..."

Li Yuechi stood by and remained silent.

Tang Heng suddenly felt aggrieved.

Very wronged.

They were fine this morning and held hands.

Why did Li Yuechi's attitude change when he saw Jiang Ya?

Jiang Ya... Tang Heng slowly turned his head and stared at Jiang Ya.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ya dragged Tang Heng out of the elevator.

"You let me go..."

"Just wait and let it go."

"Now let it go..." Tang Heng pushed him, but didn't push him away.This guy's belly isn't for nothing.

"Son, stop making trouble..." Jiang Ya muttered, "I didn't drink like crazy before."

"I'm not drunk... you let go. There's something to do..."

Jiang Ya had no choice but to let go: "What's the matter?"

Tang Heng staggered, but fortunately there was a wall behind him, so he didn't fall.He said in a deep voice, "I don't need you to take care of me."

"You think I want to! How about being your beautiful sister?!"

"And..." Tang Heng frowned, turned to look at Li Yuechi, "Come here..."

Li Yuechi stood still: "What's wrong?"

"Come and help me!"

Li Yuechi: "..."

Jiang Ya: "Yo..."

Li Yuechi stepped forward and simply supported Tang Heng.

Jiang Ya smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first!"

After swiping the card to enter the door, Li Yuechi put Tang Heng on the sofa and said in a low voice, "Sit down well..." He got up to leave, but Tang Heng grabbed his wrist.

There is no air conditioner in the room, it is a little cold.

Tang Heng sniffed and asked him, "Where are you going?"

"Where not to go..."

"Why are you ignoring me?" Tang Heng gripped harder with his hands, "Actually, you didn't plan to be with me at all, did you? You just returned to Wuhan with me because you were afraid that I would have problems again. Now Jiang Ya is back, you think he can stay with me, so he doesn’t need you anymore, don’t you?”

"Tang Heng..." Li Yuechi paused for a few seconds, "Don't think about it..."

"You still said that we are just "friends"," the grievance burst out suddenly, "Would you kiss your friend?Would you share a bed with a friend?Li Yuechi, you can't... be so shameless. "

Li Yuechi looked at Tang Heng and said helplessly, "I didn't play tricks..."

At this time, Tang Heng couldn't listen to him at all, he was only filled with grievances, and the grievances made his eyes sore.When he walked out of Bao Lei's office in the afternoon, there was only one thing on his mind, which was what happened to Li Yuechi back then?He desperately wanted to hug Li Yuechi, it felt like he had lost a very good thing, and now he found it again, he just wanted to hold it in his arms all the time.

But Li Yuechi was so alienated from him.

"Tang Heng, be obedient..." Li Yuechi patted his hand, "Go and lie down on the bed..."

Tang Heng suddenly unzipped the jacket.

Then he groped in the dark pocket inside.

He was so drunk that his fingers became clumsy, and it took him a while to find a shriveled... red Zhonghua cigarette case.

"You, what you said..." Tang Heng stuffed the cigarette case to Li Yuechi, "One cigarette, make it once, I've been enduring it, and I still have two more."

Li Yuechi: "..."

"I want it twice, and today I...did it."

Li Yuechi stared at the cigarette case, was silent for a moment, and sighed.

Just when he scorned himself and got up to hug Tang Heng to the bed——

He saw that Tang Heng tilted his head and fell asleep.

The first thing you feel when you open your eyes is a headache.

The second feeling is that I am blind from drinking?Why is it so dark?

Tang Heng was in a daze for a few seconds, until he saw the small green light of the air conditioner, and remembered that he was sleeping on a hotel bed.Along with a dull headache, memories of drunkenness slowly surfaced.

What did he do?

There was no one around.

Tang Heng stood up with difficulty, turned on the bedside lamp, and saw a bottle of mineral water beside his pillow.Li Yuechi's mobile phone is connected to the charging cable, the battery is fully charged, and the screen shows 00:12 - it is a new day.

Tang Heng got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.He was too lazy to change his clothes, so he only put on a coat over his pajamas, and walked out of the room slowly.

He remembered a viewing terrace at the end of the corridor.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw the backs of Jiang Ya and Li Yuechi.Perhaps it was because of the low temperature in the middle of the night, there was no one else on the terrace, the dim lights reflected the silhouettes of their backs, one was round, the other was thin, two spots of scarlet flickered in the night.

Li Yuechi didn't allow him to smoke, but he smoked secretly?

Didn't you say quit?

"Don't burden yourself too much..." Jiang Ya sighed quietly, "Tang Heng was quite serious in those few years... But this time we met, I feel that he is much better."

Li Yuechi smoked silently and didn't answer.

After a while, he said, "Is this still "much better"? "

"Then you didn't see him before."

Tang Heng suddenly had an ominous premonition—he suddenly remembered that there were some things he hadn't explained to Jiang Ya.

However, the drunkenness has not completely dissipated, and the reaction is a few beats slower.

Before he could stop him, Jiang Ya continued: "He couldn't think about it at that moment, it scared me to death. I was doing an experiment at the time, and I suddenly received a call from him... He never called me after he went abroad... He asked me, "Why hasn't Li Yuechi finished class yet?" I was stunned, thinking he was joking, and then I heard a scream..."

Li Yuechi said tremblingly, "What happened to him?"

"He cut his wrist with a knife. Fortunately, he was caught by his classmate, and the scream belonged to his classmate."

"... "

"That time I was really scared to death. Later, I consulted the doctor, his disease... it does happen..."
