heartbeat undercover mission
Chapter 5
The sound of wind and rain on a typhoon day still hasn't stopped.
Is this a dream, or reality?Qi Songling stared blankly at the misty windows, thinking about this question.
It shouldn't be a dream, otherwise the body wouldn't be so weak and weak, but there is a refreshing feeling in the heart that even the soul has been released.But if it's realistic...
"Songling, are you alright?"
The familiar whispers were blown into the ears with the warm breath, Qi Songling covered his sensitive ears, and when he turned his head, he met the heart-thumping face. The gentle breath from the corner of the mouth.
It turns out that the other party will also have this expression!
Qi Songling lowered his eyes unconsciously. For some reason, he couldn't look directly at his friend... No, not long ago, they were still "friends" with deep friendship, but after last night, he didn't know how to define the relationship between them.
No one will have crazy sex with their friends all night, right?He also almost couldn't get out of bed in the morning. When he woke up, he thought for a moment that he had been brutally beaten, so he was so sore that he couldn't even lift his fingers.
Thinking of this, he couldn't even look directly at the person in front of him.
If they are no longer friends, are they lovers?
He hadn't heard of the relationship between two men, and he couldn't imagine what kind of picture it was, but the emotional impulse made him do something that he didn't even think about.
Now, he is really at a loss...
"Sure enough, it's still too much!" Bai Muyao's slightly bitter tone made Qi Songling nervous. Could it be that the other party regretted it?
But I heard Bai Muyao say, "You should ask for leave and stay in the dormitory to rest."
"I see that your complexion is very bad, should I send you back to the dormitory?"
"No need, I have a test today."
Bai Muyao gave a helpless "um" and murmured "I'm sorry".Realizing that he was referring to the overly indulgent affair last night, Qi Songling was too embarrassed to speak, blushing all the way to her ears.
Damn it!How did the atmosphere become so awkward?He regretted his weak willpower.Maybe they should maintain their original friendship, instead of this weird relationship of being on top of each other, it's too uncomfortable.
"Then... since you still insist on going to class, I'll buy you a cup of coffee."
Seeing her friend leave her side for a while, Qi Songling was able to relax her tense nerves, and sighed, but malicious laughter came from beside her.
"Yo! The princess is not feeling well?"
At first Qi Songling didn't take it seriously, but after a long while, he realized that the other party was talking to him.
"Princess? Are you talking about me?"
"Of course it's you!" The classmate who was always confronting Bai Muyao and always looking for opportunities to provoke him cast a malicious glance at him.
"I came to class early in the morning with the knight taking care of me carefully. Is it too ridiculous to spend the night of the typhoon?"
Unexpectedly, he would be guessed by such a vulgar joke, Qi Songling prevaricated it with a dry smile. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be a knight with such a stinky face? Besides, I'm too big to be a princess!"
"Really? Then what is this?"
The classmate suddenly stretched out his hand and opened the collar of his uniform. Before he could resist, his neck and collarbone covered with red marks were exposed. The students watching the excitement around him immediately exclaimed, even mixed with whistles and laughter. He laughed and said "so sexy".
Everyone's hot eyes seemed to pierce him. Qi Songling, who just wanted to escape quickly, pulled away his classmate's hand, tightened his collar and walked towards the door of the classroom.
The other party refused to let him go, and followed him to the corridor outside the classroom. "Stop pretending! I think you probably played all night."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's not a hickey..."
"You still say no, you can't run out to find a girlfriend on the night of the typhoon, right? You two are always stuck together, you are a couple! What, are you his horse, or is that cruel knight the princess?"
"Stop messing around, how could he and I..."
"By the way, wasn't there a power outage last night? It was windy and rainy. Did the lightning strike you all? No wonder the "winning rate" is particularly high on typhoon nights. However, two men cannot have children. oh!"
"Are you enough? It's disgusting!" Qi Songling, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, roared like an eruption. He wanted to reach out and grab the collar of the troublemaker to beat him up, but he withdrew his hand before grabbing him, clenched his fist Trembling uncontrollably.
He had never seen him lose his temper so much. The students who followed him were stunned for a moment, and even students from other classes poked their heads out of curiosity because of the commotion.
"You, why are you yelling so loudly? Do you want to hit me?"
"If you don't tell me about this kind of thing, I will know it! How could I be with him?" More and more people joined in the fun, Qi Songling saw that there was no way to finish it, so she could only continue to speak hard.
"It's impossible for us to think about it with our toes! Doing that kind of thing with a man... just thinking about it makes me sick!"
Although what he said was against his will, he seemed to be hypnotized by himself and couldn't stop.
"He and I are both men, we are not together now, and we will never be able to... never be together! Do you understand?"
"I understand." The person who answered in a deep voice was not the classmate in front of him.
Qi Songling turned around in surprise, and saw Bai Muyao standing behind him with a coffee can in his hand, looking at him silently, there was neither blame nor anger in his eyes, on the contrary, he seemed to see through everything in a disheartened manner.
And the whispers around them seemed to be talking about their affairs, interpreting the truth and falsehood without authorization.
Unable to bear the weird pressure, Qi Songling really wanted to cover her ears and flee the scene.
The classmate who was constantly looking for trouble let out a "ha" sneer, broke the atmosphere of silence, and deliberately walked in front of Bai Muyao to stop. "So you got dumped! I'm so happy to see your deflated expression."
"Just say we have nothing!" Qi Songling hurried forward to defend, but was intimidated by Bai Muyao's sharp gaze.
"Hey! The princess you guard has been denying your existence!" Unaware of Bai Muyao's pale face, the classmate still made provocative words. "But as long as you also have the medal awarded by the princess, it will prove the relationship between the two of you. Hey, let's see who is lying!"
Seeing that the classmate stretched out his hand to the collar of Bai Muyao's uniform, before his fingertips touched it, Bai Muyao's raised fist beat him down fiercely in the face.
"Wow!" The classmate who was beaten up wailed, and rolled down in the corridor in embarrassment. There was a commotion around, some people gloated and applauded, and some panicked and shouted that someone was fighting.
Qi Songling quickly grabbed Bai Muyao's shoulders and distanced him from the fallen classmates, but he pushed them away.
"Do not touch me!"
"Mu Yao?" Qi Songling was still worried about him even though he sensed that he was refusing to approach him.
"Have you forgotten? Last time the class teacher warned you that if you hit someone again, you might have to drop out of school."
Even though the other party was the one who made provocative words first and even beat others, Bai Muyao, who fought back out of self-defense, was often the one who was punished. On the contrary, the provocative classmate had a father who was quite influential in the police world. Never was punished.
In the past, Bai Muyao never complained about such an unfair punishment, but just endured it silently. Unexpectedly, this time, he took the lead in taking the initiative regardless of the consequences.
The classmate, who was so painful that tears flowed down his face, wiped away the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and shouted, "I will make it difficult for you to get along in the police force!"
"It doesn't matter, I just don't want to stay in this kind of place." Bai Muyao's flat voice had no warmth, he turned around and strode away without hesitation.
The stunned Qi Songling followed closely, even though he yelled to wait, the other party ignored him at all, and walked into the wind and rain, letting the rain wet the uniform that symbolizes the status of a police cadet.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Bai Muyao took off his soaked uniform shirt, changed into the casual clothes he had when he went out, and began to pack his luggage.
Seeing him stuffing his personal belongings into the luggage bag one by one, Qi Songling realized his intention. "What are you doing? Where are you going?"
"Anyway, sooner or later, I will be driven away, so I might as well leave first."
"You're crazy! We'll graduate in a few months, and we still have to take the special exam, right? The incident just now wasn't that serious at all. I can accompany you to find the class teacher... or Mr. Luo, there will be a solution I asked you to stay. Also, didn’t you promise me that you would go with me to investigate the brigade—”
"Together? We can't be together, you said that, didn't you?"
The cold gaze came directly along with the sarcasm, and Qi Songling was stunned speechless by what he had said. "I said so, but..."
"For me, you are no longer my friend, and there is no way we can go back to our original relationship."
Although Bai Muyao's tone was calm, he was more indifferent than usual, and the tenderness that was fleeting before disappeared like an illusion. "If you think we have no chance at all, then leave me alone."
Although Qi Songling wanted to say "How could I ignore you", she finally swallowed it back.He didn't know how to keep his friends. If they could maintain their original friendship, they wouldn't have to be stabbed and insulted by other people's eyes, but the other party had already declared that they couldn't go back.
After an unbearable silence, a soft sigh resounded in the room.
"You still don't say anything? What do you think about me?" Picking up the packed luggage, Bai Muyao stared at him, as if waiting for the final answer.
Not knowing how to answer, Qi Songling struggled for a while before opening his mouth hesitantly.
"I just hope...we can be good friends forever..."
"So you're going to sleep with your best friend."
"It's not like this! I..." The other party's too direct speech made him feel ashamed. "I never thought it would turn out like that last night!"
"So that's how it is... What happened last night was not what you wanted to happen, was it?" A smile appeared on the corner of Bai Muyao's mouth, but it implied a strong sense of mockery.
"So you mean, because you can't control your lower body, it's just your impulse, you just react according to the surrounding atmosphere and my will, all of this is not your own choice?"
Didn't you... choose it yourself?Indeed, he doesn't think they should hug each other beyond the boundaries of friends. Perhaps, this is just an illusion derived from catharsis, and it's just a temporary loss under the emotional traction.
But he knew very well in his heart that he stretched out his arms to hug the person he had always regarded as a good friend, and he kissed those seemingly indifferent lips, indulging in the warmth and joy of being closely bound together...
In this way, is it not your own choice?
The entangled emotions kept pulling in his heart. He tried his best to think about the answer to the question, but he couldn't find a satisfactory answer. When he came back to his senses, his friend had long disappeared.
"Mu Yao?" The dormitory was quiet, no one responded.
Aware of the reality that the other party had left, he rushed out of the dormitory and ran to the school gate along the familiar corridor. He still couldn't find his friend along the way, and finally saw the familiar road in the bus booth beside the road. His figure was being gradually obscured by the slowly approaching bus.
He tried his best to call the other person's name, hoping to call that person's attention back, but the undiminished rain
The gesture covered his voice, even if he shouted until his throat became hoarse, he still couldn't see the other party looking back at him.
Ignoring his prayers, the bus started slowly again, and the figure of his friend disappeared from sight.
He knew that if he let go like this, he would never see this person again.
Wiping off the rain and sweat intertwined on his face, Qi Songling gritted his teeth, turned around and ran back to school, got on the motorcycle, never racing fast, and chased the bus in the direction the bus left as fast as possible.
In the storm, the locomotive deviated from the direction of travel from time to time, and could barely move forward. The oncoming heavy rain kept washing away the line of sight, and the picture in front of me began to distort and deform.
Finally, he found the bus carrying his friend away on the bridge leading to the city, and he was about to rush to catch up, when suddenly a strong wind hit, the crooked locomotive skidded on the road, and rushed towards the bridge in an unexpected direction.
In an instant, he only felt that he was flying in the air, his body skimmed over the pier and the storm, and sank into the raging stream under the bridge, as if his whole body was frozen in ice.
So sad... so painful... He couldn't breathe, he couldn't think, the freezing water was rushing against him.
"Songling!" The voice calling to me suddenly approached and far away, and a blurry face floated in front of my eyes.
who is it?Who is calling him, who is holding his hand, but finally let go?
"Don't let go of my hand! Please, don't let me go..."
He wanted to respond, but the water pouring into his mouth blocked his throat and prevented him from breathing.
Until he could no longer hear the other party's call, let the cold that invaded his body take away his consciousness and invade his remaining consciousness...
Waking up from the screams, as if to clear the liquid remaining deep in the throat, Qi Songling curled up and coughed desperately, coughing until his face was flushed, and even tears flowed out, only then did he realize that the fear that spread all over his body just now was just a nightmare one game.
He has had nightmares about drowning more than once, after all, this is his own experience.
During the typhoon three years ago, in order to recover his departed friends, he was riding a bicycle in the wind and rain, but accidentally fell under the bridge. Although he was lucky to save his life, he had no memory of what happened afterwards Suffering from hydrophobia that is hard to tell others.
Once he recalled the suffocation that invaded all his senses, even after many years, he still felt chills down his spine, subconsciously stroked his throat, but saw that his hands were wrapped in gauze, and there was still a slight pain oozing.
"What's going on? Where is this place?"
Looking up, the old fluorescent lamps flickered on the yellowed ceiling. When I looked down, I was lying on a simple bed, covered with a green quilt with medical logos on it, and the sound of the heater running could be heard from time to time.
Qi Songling tried to recall what had happened to her, but her head was aching. She raised her hand to hold the aching head, only to find that even her forehead was bandaged.
"Is it fun?" At this moment, a voice that was as cold as freezing came from beside him. "Is the suicide game really that interesting?"
"Mu Yao..." Unconsciously murmured the name he was calling in his dreams, and turned his head, only to see the person sitting by the hospital bed folded his arms and cast a resentful look at him.
"Excuse me, how many times will you perform a suicide show in front of me?"
"Suicide?" Qi Songling repeated the other party's words unconsciously, and the memory slowly returned to her mind.He will never forget the sense of despair he felt when he broke free from the opponent's hand and sank into the water. "So I'm still alive..."
"Nonsense! I won't let you die like that. I have to thank you for allowing me to enjoy diving and winter swimming at the same time!"
"So...you saved me..."
"What else?"
Even though Bai Muyao coldly added "Who else do you think will come to save you", Qi Songling was still moved indescribably.
He secretly looked at the man with a very bad complexion. His face without glasses looked exhausted, and his usually meticulously combed hair was also scattered in front of his forehead, haggard as if he had just experienced a scuffle.
Even his slender body, which used to be dressed in a sharp suit, was replaced by a hooded sweatshirt and trousers with a lot of bad taste. Although it made him look much younger, it is a pity that the current atmosphere is not suitable for admiration at all.
Qi Songling said thank you in a low voice, and asked, "Where is this?"
"My friend's clinic, he has treated the wound for you. Although there is a lot of blood, it is not as serious as it looks."
"Really? That's good..."
"You're so tall! Boss is not too young to play this kind of boring drama, please think about it for me too? The commission case is not over yet, and an accident with my partner will make me do nothing!"
Qi Songling lowered her head guiltily, and whispered sorry.Although he fell into the water with the determination to die because he didn't want to drag the other party down, even though his life was recovered by his friend, it also caused more trouble for the other party.
Taking a closer look, his clothes had been replaced by patient-specific blouses at some point, and he fumbled around on himself and beside the bed in a panic.
"Huh? Where are my clothes?"
"May I ask which clinic would be cruel enough to let the wounded wear wet clothes?" Bai Muyao frowned and looked outside the ward. "It's been washed, it's probably drying!"
"No! I mean..."
He anxiously wanted to get out of the bed, but unfortunately his recovery was not as good as expected, his feet gave way and he almost fell to the ground, Bai Muyao at the side hurried forward to help him, but he broke free from the other's hand and planned to walk out of the ward.
Bai Muyao had no choice but to carry him back to the bed, suppressing his waving hands and feet.
"Have you had enough trouble? What do you want to do?"
"Where are my clothes? There's something very important in it..."
"Are you looking for this?"
Seeing his long-cherished watch dangling in Bai Muyao's hands, Qi Songling's eyes widened and he forgot to struggle.
"How...how could it be in your hands..."
"I changed your clothes."
Compared with the other party's natural appearance, Qi Songling was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.
Although at the police academy, they didn't know how many times they met naked, and even on that typhoon night, they even experienced each other's most intimate places without reservation. It's still hard to forget, but it's still somewhat embarrassing to be seen naked all of a sudden after not seeing each other for so many years.
Fortunately, he has always had the habit of exercising, so he should maintain his best form three years ago. At least he won't be ashamed to be seen.
The problem is, the gift that he never wanted the other party to find out, together with the fact that he still cared about the other party's mood, might just be exposed like this!
"So...do you remember this watch?"
Facing his question, Bai Muyao glanced at him expressionlessly, and after a subtle silence, he said that he didn't remember, and handed him the watch back.
After taking the watch, Qi Songling finally let go of the big stone on his chest, but he felt a little disappointed.
"So you don't remember..."
"Is there any reason I must recognize this watch?"
Hearing the other party's indifferent tone, Qi Songling only felt that he was being sentimental from the beginning to the end, and murmured sullenly, "Forget it if you don't remember..."
"Speak clearly when you have something to say, don't hesitate to speak every time."
"When did I stop talking?" The impatient tone of the other party irritated Qi Songling. The volume was only a little louder, and the head hurt a little, but he couldn't hide his anger. "You are the one who should be more frank! Don't always say harsh words to ridicule me. You are not a brat. Tell me what you want to say!"
"I think I've always made my words very clear. お稥" Bai Muyao snorted coldly from the tip of his tall nose, his eyes without glasses became more serious. "I told you not to come. I just don't want you to come. I don't understand what you are thinking. Acting without backup will not only put yourself in danger, but also destroy my plan."
"Destroy your plan?" Qi Songling couldn't believe that the other party would teach him what he learned in the police academy. "I'm a policeman anyway, how could I let you be taken away by those people?"
"I said they want me! I am willing to go with them not to protect you, but because you will get in the way!"
Get in the way?The four words that were too cruel hit my heart hard.Qi Songling never thought that in the eyes of her friends, her own evaluation would be like this.
"I originally planned to pretend to go with them, and then deal with those people after I got into the car, and then take the opportunity to hijack the car and escape, but I didn't expect you to come after me."
"They have four cars! You finish one, and the other three will continue to chase you."
"So what? What can you do alone?"
Hearing Bai Muyao spit out the same question as Captain Shi, but the impact was stronger, Qi Songling clenched his lower lip unwillingly.It was obvious that he was worried about the other party to catch up, so why should he be blamed?
Unaware of his thoughts, Bai Muyao continued to accuse him coldly.
"I am enough to deal with them by myself. If you are here, I have to worry about you and find a way to cover you. This will be more troublesome."
"In the end... I got you out of trouble, didn't I?"
"Do you think this is helping me? Don't laugh so hard!" Bai Muyao's tone suddenly became agitated. "Disregarding my mood, I broke free from my hand... If I don't have the strength to rescue you, will you die in front of me again? It's enough, I don't want to experience that kind of thing again."
the second time?Looking at the twisted corner of Bai Muyao's mouth, in an instant, Qi Songling's mind came back to the expression of the other party who was about to cry before he fell into the water, and the voice roaring "I will never let you go again", at the same time, the more distant memory It is also connected in series at this time.
"Pine Age!"
On that typhoon day, the swollen stream under the bridge... Amidst the shouts from far and near, someone swam to him several times to hold his hand, and was pushed away from him by the raging stream several times.
"Please, don't let go of my hand..."
The blurred face in memory became more and more clear, and finally overlapped with the face he was staring at now.
"It's you..." Qi Songling whispered in a voice that the other party couldn't hear, and her mood was even more mixed.
It turned out that he was rescued by his friends again.
The other party apparently abandoned him, but always reached out to help in times of crisis, but his indifference was so indifferent that he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, nor could he guess whether his feelings for him were true or not. What's left.
Time passed in the silence between the two, and it was Bai Muyao's sigh that first broke through the predicament.
"I beg you, don't do stupid things for me anymore. If you feel guilty about me, then I advise you not to bother, I... don't have that deep attachment to you."
Qi Songling wanted to explain that she was not just out of guilt, but was stunned by the last sentence.Does he mean that everything he has done so far is not for him?
"I admit that there may have been some injuries at the time, but it was just a blink of an eye. It is not an unforgettable memory, and it will be forgotten soon."
"I forgot it soon...isn't it?" It took a lot of effort for Qi Songling to squeeze out these words from his throat.
I saw Bai Muyao's calm expression without a trace of panic or pretentiousness, just as if he was narrating a long-forgotten past event.
Only then did he realize that it was too self-righteous for him to think that he had left deep scars on the other party.
Back then when he woke up in the hospital and learned from his classmates that Bai Muyao had left, he just muttered meaningless things like "how could this be?" for a while.However, once the visiting classmates and family members left one after another, and when I was still awake at night, the unspeakable sadness began to spread.
He has never been so lonely before, and the time without the company of his friends is more tormented than he imagined.
It was not until he could no longer see the other party that he fully understood his own intentions, and at the same time realized that his momentary confusion and cowardice made him lose the most important person.
When imagining what kind of mood the other party left, and wondering whether the other party was in the same pain as myself, what gnawed at his chest was endless regret.
So, he hid in the narrow bathroom, covered his face with a towel, and cried silently.
What makes him regret even more is that in order to avoid ridicule and insult, he trampled on each other's friendship for many years and the budding love, and even destroyed the future of the other party by himself. The strong sense of guilt has been tormenting for many years with him.
"Don't you regret it?"
Qi Songling's question made Bai Muyao raise his eyebrows, as if asking him what he regretted.
"The thing about dropping out of school...you could have become a better policeman than me."
"Better than you? You mean, go to places with more people to find missing persons, or add cats and dogs?"
"You!" Although he was dissatisfied with the contemptuous tone of the other party, Qi Songling couldn't refute it, because his current job was indeed quite different from his ambitions back then.
"I don't regret it." Seeing him biting his lower lip and not speaking, Bai Muyao stopped sarcasming him, his tone returned to his usual calmness. "Leaving a few months before graduation, on the surface, it seems that I have no choice, but it is actually my own decision. I have long wanted to leave that kind of place."
"You wanted to leave a long time ago?" Qi Songling's face was full of disbelief when he heard this fact for the first time. "I don't know how..."
"There are too many systems and norms in that place that I think are unreasonable. I don't want to succumb to those meaningless constraints, that's all. And you are willing to endure things that I can't bear, so you are more suitable than me to stay in that world. "
Bai Muyao, who told the past lightly, did not have any emotional ups and downs.
"At this time, I will choose to drop out of school. Your incident is just an opportunity. The real reason is that I finally see through that this place is not suitable for me, nor does it belong to me."
"Why didn't you tell me!? Why didn't you tell me that you didn't want to be a policeman? I thought... I thought we were good friends..."
Even if that friendship has disappeared long ago, they were indeed close friends who trusted and relied on each other. It was only today that they heard the true words of their friends. Qi Songling could no longer tell whether the bitterness filling his chest came from anger or sadness.
He kept thinking about the time he got along with each other. They talked freely about each other's dreams and said that they wanted to stretch their ambitions together. Perhaps the friend's embarrassed expression at that time had already revealed some information.
But in any case, the friend never confessed to him that this incident hit him hard. It turned out that the other party's distrust of him started earlier, or in other words, he never trusted him.
In this way, it was foolish of me to believe that they had a deep friendship.
No matter what he thought, the heavy haze accumulated in his heart was still lingering.
"What's the point of knowing the reason now?" Compared to Qi Songling's chaotic mood, Bai Muyao's attitude seemed calm.
"Maybe we used to be good friends. I contacted you about the previous kidnapping case because I heard Mr. Luo mention your whereabouts. I wanted to say that since I want the police to do business, it's better to choose someone who has acquaintances."
The question that had been pressed on the other party was now clearly answered, but Qi Songling did not feel happy at all.
"But the truth is, I have long since given up walking the same path as you, and you have a job that you are proud of. We are no longer the little devils who had to partner with each other. Without me, you will continue to be Police." Said Bai Muyao, with a rare wry smile on his usually serious face. "Me too, it wouldn't be the same without you."
The eyes of the two intersected. Facing each other's relieved eyes, Qi Songling took the lead in lowering his head impatiently.
"So you understand? The past is the past, you don't have to mind me, and you don't have to think about looking for a chance to make amends..."
Although he didn't want to hear it, the last sentence "This will only bother me" still came to Qi Songling's ears clearly.
Even if he wanted to explain that he wasn't just doing it for atonement, it was pointless now.
Just like a watch in the palm of your hand, despite the disasters, they still go on without stopping, and the relationship between them will not stay there forever.
When I first received the gift, I can still vividly remember the excitement and emotion that filled my chest, but for the person who gave him the watch, it is a memory that can be discarded at any time. The other party will move forward no matter what. Only I am still indulging in the memory, hesitating to move forward.
In the past few years, it's not that he hasn't tried to have a girlfriend, but he no longer has the uncontrollable impulse and the crazy love that almost swallowed each other.And as he grew older, he also gradually discovered that the combination of two men is not unforgivable, but only requires the awareness and courage to face the critical eyes of everyone.
He thought more than once, if he can still be with this person, it doesn't matter what other people think of him, he will muster up the courage to face everything, and he will never run away again, as long as he is given another chance, he will definitely To take advantage of.
Therefore, when Captain Shi proposed this plan to him, he agreed to join after only thinking for a few seconds, in order to be able to see this person again and confide to him what he hadn't had time to say back then.
In fact, I don't want to be separated from you, and I also want to be with you. In fact, over the years, I haven't forgotten you for a day...
However, when they met again, the other party's cold attitude made him hesitate.
What was even more frustrating was that no matter how he was treated indifferently, after so many years, he still couldn't forget this person, and still fell in love with him.
"I understand..." In the end, Qi Songling could only squeeze out these two words with a smile.
Although he wanted to cry out what his years of pain and struggle were, a seemingly relieved smile appeared on his face, and he applauded silently for his superb performance.
"Before, I was thinking too much, but you had already forgotten all about it. Now I'm relieved."
Mingming said so in his mouth and thought so in his heart, why didn't he feel relieved?
Hearing Bai Muyao said with a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you think so", Qi Songling, who couldn't hold on any longer, used the excuse of wanting to rest, and tucked himself into the sheets that were filled with the smell of disinfectant.
The rampant pain in the chest is more uncomfortable than the wound on the body.
Bai Muyao, who said "you rest first", got up and walked out the door without hesitation, but turned his head as if thinking of something.
"I will get in touch with Captain Shi. As for this case...can you continue to follow up? Or do you want him to send someone else to respond?"
"There is no time to send others. Didn't you say that my injury is not serious? Tomorrow we have to meet the people from Baihu's side as scheduled."
The voice muffled under the blanket, Qi Songling still forced herself to speak clearly.
"If you feel that I or the police are in the way, just leave us alone. Anyway, this is the responsibility of our police. You don't need to bet your life."
"Don't worry, I don't intend to lose my life."
After so calmly announcing it, Bai Muyao left the words to have a good rest, and walked out of the ward.
When the sound of the door closing came, Qi Songling's long suppressed tears finally welled up in his eyes.
How long has it been since you experienced this sad sense of powerlessness?No matter how hard I tried to suppress it, the heat still poured into my eyes, waiting for the embankment to burst.
The first time he tasted this uncomfortable feeling was when he was alone in the bathroom of the hospital, reluctant to leave his friends; the second time was when he realized that he could not fall in love with other women, and his mind was only thinking about the news. no friends.
Unexpectedly, this time, it was for the same person. Even though he was close in front of his eyes, his heart was so far away that he couldn't touch him. Uprooted, then buried.
Because, the only thing he can be sure of now is that there is no trace of Bai Muyao's eagerness for him back then.
Is this a dream, or reality?Qi Songling stared blankly at the misty windows, thinking about this question.
It shouldn't be a dream, otherwise the body wouldn't be so weak and weak, but there is a refreshing feeling in the heart that even the soul has been released.But if it's realistic...
"Songling, are you alright?"
The familiar whispers were blown into the ears with the warm breath, Qi Songling covered his sensitive ears, and when he turned his head, he met the heart-thumping face. The gentle breath from the corner of the mouth.
It turns out that the other party will also have this expression!
Qi Songling lowered his eyes unconsciously. For some reason, he couldn't look directly at his friend... No, not long ago, they were still "friends" with deep friendship, but after last night, he didn't know how to define the relationship between them.
No one will have crazy sex with their friends all night, right?He also almost couldn't get out of bed in the morning. When he woke up, he thought for a moment that he had been brutally beaten, so he was so sore that he couldn't even lift his fingers.
Thinking of this, he couldn't even look directly at the person in front of him.
If they are no longer friends, are they lovers?
He hadn't heard of the relationship between two men, and he couldn't imagine what kind of picture it was, but the emotional impulse made him do something that he didn't even think about.
Now, he is really at a loss...
"Sure enough, it's still too much!" Bai Muyao's slightly bitter tone made Qi Songling nervous. Could it be that the other party regretted it?
But I heard Bai Muyao say, "You should ask for leave and stay in the dormitory to rest."
"I see that your complexion is very bad, should I send you back to the dormitory?"
"No need, I have a test today."
Bai Muyao gave a helpless "um" and murmured "I'm sorry".Realizing that he was referring to the overly indulgent affair last night, Qi Songling was too embarrassed to speak, blushing all the way to her ears.
Damn it!How did the atmosphere become so awkward?He regretted his weak willpower.Maybe they should maintain their original friendship, instead of this weird relationship of being on top of each other, it's too uncomfortable.
"Then... since you still insist on going to class, I'll buy you a cup of coffee."
Seeing her friend leave her side for a while, Qi Songling was able to relax her tense nerves, and sighed, but malicious laughter came from beside her.
"Yo! The princess is not feeling well?"
At first Qi Songling didn't take it seriously, but after a long while, he realized that the other party was talking to him.
"Princess? Are you talking about me?"
"Of course it's you!" The classmate who was always confronting Bai Muyao and always looking for opportunities to provoke him cast a malicious glance at him.
"I came to class early in the morning with the knight taking care of me carefully. Is it too ridiculous to spend the night of the typhoon?"
Unexpectedly, he would be guessed by such a vulgar joke, Qi Songling prevaricated it with a dry smile. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be a knight with such a stinky face? Besides, I'm too big to be a princess!"
"Really? Then what is this?"
The classmate suddenly stretched out his hand and opened the collar of his uniform. Before he could resist, his neck and collarbone covered with red marks were exposed. The students watching the excitement around him immediately exclaimed, even mixed with whistles and laughter. He laughed and said "so sexy".
Everyone's hot eyes seemed to pierce him. Qi Songling, who just wanted to escape quickly, pulled away his classmate's hand, tightened his collar and walked towards the door of the classroom.
The other party refused to let him go, and followed him to the corridor outside the classroom. "Stop pretending! I think you probably played all night."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's not a hickey..."
"You still say no, you can't run out to find a girlfriend on the night of the typhoon, right? You two are always stuck together, you are a couple! What, are you his horse, or is that cruel knight the princess?"
"Stop messing around, how could he and I..."
"By the way, wasn't there a power outage last night? It was windy and rainy. Did the lightning strike you all? No wonder the "winning rate" is particularly high on typhoon nights. However, two men cannot have children. oh!"
"Are you enough? It's disgusting!" Qi Songling, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, roared like an eruption. He wanted to reach out and grab the collar of the troublemaker to beat him up, but he withdrew his hand before grabbing him, clenched his fist Trembling uncontrollably.
He had never seen him lose his temper so much. The students who followed him were stunned for a moment, and even students from other classes poked their heads out of curiosity because of the commotion.
"You, why are you yelling so loudly? Do you want to hit me?"
"If you don't tell me about this kind of thing, I will know it! How could I be with him?" More and more people joined in the fun, Qi Songling saw that there was no way to finish it, so she could only continue to speak hard.
"It's impossible for us to think about it with our toes! Doing that kind of thing with a man... just thinking about it makes me sick!"
Although what he said was against his will, he seemed to be hypnotized by himself and couldn't stop.
"He and I are both men, we are not together now, and we will never be able to... never be together! Do you understand?"
"I understand." The person who answered in a deep voice was not the classmate in front of him.
Qi Songling turned around in surprise, and saw Bai Muyao standing behind him with a coffee can in his hand, looking at him silently, there was neither blame nor anger in his eyes, on the contrary, he seemed to see through everything in a disheartened manner.
And the whispers around them seemed to be talking about their affairs, interpreting the truth and falsehood without authorization.
Unable to bear the weird pressure, Qi Songling really wanted to cover her ears and flee the scene.
The classmate who was constantly looking for trouble let out a "ha" sneer, broke the atmosphere of silence, and deliberately walked in front of Bai Muyao to stop. "So you got dumped! I'm so happy to see your deflated expression."
"Just say we have nothing!" Qi Songling hurried forward to defend, but was intimidated by Bai Muyao's sharp gaze.
"Hey! The princess you guard has been denying your existence!" Unaware of Bai Muyao's pale face, the classmate still made provocative words. "But as long as you also have the medal awarded by the princess, it will prove the relationship between the two of you. Hey, let's see who is lying!"
Seeing that the classmate stretched out his hand to the collar of Bai Muyao's uniform, before his fingertips touched it, Bai Muyao's raised fist beat him down fiercely in the face.
"Wow!" The classmate who was beaten up wailed, and rolled down in the corridor in embarrassment. There was a commotion around, some people gloated and applauded, and some panicked and shouted that someone was fighting.
Qi Songling quickly grabbed Bai Muyao's shoulders and distanced him from the fallen classmates, but he pushed them away.
"Do not touch me!"
"Mu Yao?" Qi Songling was still worried about him even though he sensed that he was refusing to approach him.
"Have you forgotten? Last time the class teacher warned you that if you hit someone again, you might have to drop out of school."
Even though the other party was the one who made provocative words first and even beat others, Bai Muyao, who fought back out of self-defense, was often the one who was punished. On the contrary, the provocative classmate had a father who was quite influential in the police world. Never was punished.
In the past, Bai Muyao never complained about such an unfair punishment, but just endured it silently. Unexpectedly, this time, he took the lead in taking the initiative regardless of the consequences.
The classmate, who was so painful that tears flowed down his face, wiped away the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and shouted, "I will make it difficult for you to get along in the police force!"
"It doesn't matter, I just don't want to stay in this kind of place." Bai Muyao's flat voice had no warmth, he turned around and strode away without hesitation.
The stunned Qi Songling followed closely, even though he yelled to wait, the other party ignored him at all, and walked into the wind and rain, letting the rain wet the uniform that symbolizes the status of a police cadet.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Bai Muyao took off his soaked uniform shirt, changed into the casual clothes he had when he went out, and began to pack his luggage.
Seeing him stuffing his personal belongings into the luggage bag one by one, Qi Songling realized his intention. "What are you doing? Where are you going?"
"Anyway, sooner or later, I will be driven away, so I might as well leave first."
"You're crazy! We'll graduate in a few months, and we still have to take the special exam, right? The incident just now wasn't that serious at all. I can accompany you to find the class teacher... or Mr. Luo, there will be a solution I asked you to stay. Also, didn’t you promise me that you would go with me to investigate the brigade—”
"Together? We can't be together, you said that, didn't you?"
The cold gaze came directly along with the sarcasm, and Qi Songling was stunned speechless by what he had said. "I said so, but..."
"For me, you are no longer my friend, and there is no way we can go back to our original relationship."
Although Bai Muyao's tone was calm, he was more indifferent than usual, and the tenderness that was fleeting before disappeared like an illusion. "If you think we have no chance at all, then leave me alone."
Although Qi Songling wanted to say "How could I ignore you", she finally swallowed it back.He didn't know how to keep his friends. If they could maintain their original friendship, they wouldn't have to be stabbed and insulted by other people's eyes, but the other party had already declared that they couldn't go back.
After an unbearable silence, a soft sigh resounded in the room.
"You still don't say anything? What do you think about me?" Picking up the packed luggage, Bai Muyao stared at him, as if waiting for the final answer.
Not knowing how to answer, Qi Songling struggled for a while before opening his mouth hesitantly.
"I just hope...we can be good friends forever..."
"So you're going to sleep with your best friend."
"It's not like this! I..." The other party's too direct speech made him feel ashamed. "I never thought it would turn out like that last night!"
"So that's how it is... What happened last night was not what you wanted to happen, was it?" A smile appeared on the corner of Bai Muyao's mouth, but it implied a strong sense of mockery.
"So you mean, because you can't control your lower body, it's just your impulse, you just react according to the surrounding atmosphere and my will, all of this is not your own choice?"
Didn't you... choose it yourself?Indeed, he doesn't think they should hug each other beyond the boundaries of friends. Perhaps, this is just an illusion derived from catharsis, and it's just a temporary loss under the emotional traction.
But he knew very well in his heart that he stretched out his arms to hug the person he had always regarded as a good friend, and he kissed those seemingly indifferent lips, indulging in the warmth and joy of being closely bound together...
In this way, is it not your own choice?
The entangled emotions kept pulling in his heart. He tried his best to think about the answer to the question, but he couldn't find a satisfactory answer. When he came back to his senses, his friend had long disappeared.
"Mu Yao?" The dormitory was quiet, no one responded.
Aware of the reality that the other party had left, he rushed out of the dormitory and ran to the school gate along the familiar corridor. He still couldn't find his friend along the way, and finally saw the familiar road in the bus booth beside the road. His figure was being gradually obscured by the slowly approaching bus.
He tried his best to call the other person's name, hoping to call that person's attention back, but the undiminished rain
The gesture covered his voice, even if he shouted until his throat became hoarse, he still couldn't see the other party looking back at him.
Ignoring his prayers, the bus started slowly again, and the figure of his friend disappeared from sight.
He knew that if he let go like this, he would never see this person again.
Wiping off the rain and sweat intertwined on his face, Qi Songling gritted his teeth, turned around and ran back to school, got on the motorcycle, never racing fast, and chased the bus in the direction the bus left as fast as possible.
In the storm, the locomotive deviated from the direction of travel from time to time, and could barely move forward. The oncoming heavy rain kept washing away the line of sight, and the picture in front of me began to distort and deform.
Finally, he found the bus carrying his friend away on the bridge leading to the city, and he was about to rush to catch up, when suddenly a strong wind hit, the crooked locomotive skidded on the road, and rushed towards the bridge in an unexpected direction.
In an instant, he only felt that he was flying in the air, his body skimmed over the pier and the storm, and sank into the raging stream under the bridge, as if his whole body was frozen in ice.
So sad... so painful... He couldn't breathe, he couldn't think, the freezing water was rushing against him.
"Songling!" The voice calling to me suddenly approached and far away, and a blurry face floated in front of my eyes.
who is it?Who is calling him, who is holding his hand, but finally let go?
"Don't let go of my hand! Please, don't let me go..."
He wanted to respond, but the water pouring into his mouth blocked his throat and prevented him from breathing.
Until he could no longer hear the other party's call, let the cold that invaded his body take away his consciousness and invade his remaining consciousness...
Waking up from the screams, as if to clear the liquid remaining deep in the throat, Qi Songling curled up and coughed desperately, coughing until his face was flushed, and even tears flowed out, only then did he realize that the fear that spread all over his body just now was just a nightmare one game.
He has had nightmares about drowning more than once, after all, this is his own experience.
During the typhoon three years ago, in order to recover his departed friends, he was riding a bicycle in the wind and rain, but accidentally fell under the bridge. Although he was lucky to save his life, he had no memory of what happened afterwards Suffering from hydrophobia that is hard to tell others.
Once he recalled the suffocation that invaded all his senses, even after many years, he still felt chills down his spine, subconsciously stroked his throat, but saw that his hands were wrapped in gauze, and there was still a slight pain oozing.
"What's going on? Where is this place?"
Looking up, the old fluorescent lamps flickered on the yellowed ceiling. When I looked down, I was lying on a simple bed, covered with a green quilt with medical logos on it, and the sound of the heater running could be heard from time to time.
Qi Songling tried to recall what had happened to her, but her head was aching. She raised her hand to hold the aching head, only to find that even her forehead was bandaged.
"Is it fun?" At this moment, a voice that was as cold as freezing came from beside him. "Is the suicide game really that interesting?"
"Mu Yao..." Unconsciously murmured the name he was calling in his dreams, and turned his head, only to see the person sitting by the hospital bed folded his arms and cast a resentful look at him.
"Excuse me, how many times will you perform a suicide show in front of me?"
"Suicide?" Qi Songling repeated the other party's words unconsciously, and the memory slowly returned to her mind.He will never forget the sense of despair he felt when he broke free from the opponent's hand and sank into the water. "So I'm still alive..."
"Nonsense! I won't let you die like that. I have to thank you for allowing me to enjoy diving and winter swimming at the same time!"
"So...you saved me..."
"What else?"
Even though Bai Muyao coldly added "Who else do you think will come to save you", Qi Songling was still moved indescribably.
He secretly looked at the man with a very bad complexion. His face without glasses looked exhausted, and his usually meticulously combed hair was also scattered in front of his forehead, haggard as if he had just experienced a scuffle.
Even his slender body, which used to be dressed in a sharp suit, was replaced by a hooded sweatshirt and trousers with a lot of bad taste. Although it made him look much younger, it is a pity that the current atmosphere is not suitable for admiration at all.
Qi Songling said thank you in a low voice, and asked, "Where is this?"
"My friend's clinic, he has treated the wound for you. Although there is a lot of blood, it is not as serious as it looks."
"Really? That's good..."
"You're so tall! Boss is not too young to play this kind of boring drama, please think about it for me too? The commission case is not over yet, and an accident with my partner will make me do nothing!"
Qi Songling lowered her head guiltily, and whispered sorry.Although he fell into the water with the determination to die because he didn't want to drag the other party down, even though his life was recovered by his friend, it also caused more trouble for the other party.
Taking a closer look, his clothes had been replaced by patient-specific blouses at some point, and he fumbled around on himself and beside the bed in a panic.
"Huh? Where are my clothes?"
"May I ask which clinic would be cruel enough to let the wounded wear wet clothes?" Bai Muyao frowned and looked outside the ward. "It's been washed, it's probably drying!"
"No! I mean..."
He anxiously wanted to get out of the bed, but unfortunately his recovery was not as good as expected, his feet gave way and he almost fell to the ground, Bai Muyao at the side hurried forward to help him, but he broke free from the other's hand and planned to walk out of the ward.
Bai Muyao had no choice but to carry him back to the bed, suppressing his waving hands and feet.
"Have you had enough trouble? What do you want to do?"
"Where are my clothes? There's something very important in it..."
"Are you looking for this?"
Seeing his long-cherished watch dangling in Bai Muyao's hands, Qi Songling's eyes widened and he forgot to struggle.
"How...how could it be in your hands..."
"I changed your clothes."
Compared with the other party's natural appearance, Qi Songling was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.
Although at the police academy, they didn't know how many times they met naked, and even on that typhoon night, they even experienced each other's most intimate places without reservation. It's still hard to forget, but it's still somewhat embarrassing to be seen naked all of a sudden after not seeing each other for so many years.
Fortunately, he has always had the habit of exercising, so he should maintain his best form three years ago. At least he won't be ashamed to be seen.
The problem is, the gift that he never wanted the other party to find out, together with the fact that he still cared about the other party's mood, might just be exposed like this!
"So...do you remember this watch?"
Facing his question, Bai Muyao glanced at him expressionlessly, and after a subtle silence, he said that he didn't remember, and handed him the watch back.
After taking the watch, Qi Songling finally let go of the big stone on his chest, but he felt a little disappointed.
"So you don't remember..."
"Is there any reason I must recognize this watch?"
Hearing the other party's indifferent tone, Qi Songling only felt that he was being sentimental from the beginning to the end, and murmured sullenly, "Forget it if you don't remember..."
"Speak clearly when you have something to say, don't hesitate to speak every time."
"When did I stop talking?" The impatient tone of the other party irritated Qi Songling. The volume was only a little louder, and the head hurt a little, but he couldn't hide his anger. "You are the one who should be more frank! Don't always say harsh words to ridicule me. You are not a brat. Tell me what you want to say!"
"I think I've always made my words very clear. お稥" Bai Muyao snorted coldly from the tip of his tall nose, his eyes without glasses became more serious. "I told you not to come. I just don't want you to come. I don't understand what you are thinking. Acting without backup will not only put yourself in danger, but also destroy my plan."
"Destroy your plan?" Qi Songling couldn't believe that the other party would teach him what he learned in the police academy. "I'm a policeman anyway, how could I let you be taken away by those people?"
"I said they want me! I am willing to go with them not to protect you, but because you will get in the way!"
Get in the way?The four words that were too cruel hit my heart hard.Qi Songling never thought that in the eyes of her friends, her own evaluation would be like this.
"I originally planned to pretend to go with them, and then deal with those people after I got into the car, and then take the opportunity to hijack the car and escape, but I didn't expect you to come after me."
"They have four cars! You finish one, and the other three will continue to chase you."
"So what? What can you do alone?"
Hearing Bai Muyao spit out the same question as Captain Shi, but the impact was stronger, Qi Songling clenched his lower lip unwillingly.It was obvious that he was worried about the other party to catch up, so why should he be blamed?
Unaware of his thoughts, Bai Muyao continued to accuse him coldly.
"I am enough to deal with them by myself. If you are here, I have to worry about you and find a way to cover you. This will be more troublesome."
"In the end... I got you out of trouble, didn't I?"
"Do you think this is helping me? Don't laugh so hard!" Bai Muyao's tone suddenly became agitated. "Disregarding my mood, I broke free from my hand... If I don't have the strength to rescue you, will you die in front of me again? It's enough, I don't want to experience that kind of thing again."
the second time?Looking at the twisted corner of Bai Muyao's mouth, in an instant, Qi Songling's mind came back to the expression of the other party who was about to cry before he fell into the water, and the voice roaring "I will never let you go again", at the same time, the more distant memory It is also connected in series at this time.
"Pine Age!"
On that typhoon day, the swollen stream under the bridge... Amidst the shouts from far and near, someone swam to him several times to hold his hand, and was pushed away from him by the raging stream several times.
"Please, don't let go of my hand..."
The blurred face in memory became more and more clear, and finally overlapped with the face he was staring at now.
"It's you..." Qi Songling whispered in a voice that the other party couldn't hear, and her mood was even more mixed.
It turned out that he was rescued by his friends again.
The other party apparently abandoned him, but always reached out to help in times of crisis, but his indifference was so indifferent that he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, nor could he guess whether his feelings for him were true or not. What's left.
Time passed in the silence between the two, and it was Bai Muyao's sigh that first broke through the predicament.
"I beg you, don't do stupid things for me anymore. If you feel guilty about me, then I advise you not to bother, I... don't have that deep attachment to you."
Qi Songling wanted to explain that she was not just out of guilt, but was stunned by the last sentence.Does he mean that everything he has done so far is not for him?
"I admit that there may have been some injuries at the time, but it was just a blink of an eye. It is not an unforgettable memory, and it will be forgotten soon."
"I forgot it soon...isn't it?" It took a lot of effort for Qi Songling to squeeze out these words from his throat.
I saw Bai Muyao's calm expression without a trace of panic or pretentiousness, just as if he was narrating a long-forgotten past event.
Only then did he realize that it was too self-righteous for him to think that he had left deep scars on the other party.
Back then when he woke up in the hospital and learned from his classmates that Bai Muyao had left, he just muttered meaningless things like "how could this be?" for a while.However, once the visiting classmates and family members left one after another, and when I was still awake at night, the unspeakable sadness began to spread.
He has never been so lonely before, and the time without the company of his friends is more tormented than he imagined.
It was not until he could no longer see the other party that he fully understood his own intentions, and at the same time realized that his momentary confusion and cowardice made him lose the most important person.
When imagining what kind of mood the other party left, and wondering whether the other party was in the same pain as myself, what gnawed at his chest was endless regret.
So, he hid in the narrow bathroom, covered his face with a towel, and cried silently.
What makes him regret even more is that in order to avoid ridicule and insult, he trampled on each other's friendship for many years and the budding love, and even destroyed the future of the other party by himself. The strong sense of guilt has been tormenting for many years with him.
"Don't you regret it?"
Qi Songling's question made Bai Muyao raise his eyebrows, as if asking him what he regretted.
"The thing about dropping out of school...you could have become a better policeman than me."
"Better than you? You mean, go to places with more people to find missing persons, or add cats and dogs?"
"You!" Although he was dissatisfied with the contemptuous tone of the other party, Qi Songling couldn't refute it, because his current job was indeed quite different from his ambitions back then.
"I don't regret it." Seeing him biting his lower lip and not speaking, Bai Muyao stopped sarcasming him, his tone returned to his usual calmness. "Leaving a few months before graduation, on the surface, it seems that I have no choice, but it is actually my own decision. I have long wanted to leave that kind of place."
"You wanted to leave a long time ago?" Qi Songling's face was full of disbelief when he heard this fact for the first time. "I don't know how..."
"There are too many systems and norms in that place that I think are unreasonable. I don't want to succumb to those meaningless constraints, that's all. And you are willing to endure things that I can't bear, so you are more suitable than me to stay in that world. "
Bai Muyao, who told the past lightly, did not have any emotional ups and downs.
"At this time, I will choose to drop out of school. Your incident is just an opportunity. The real reason is that I finally see through that this place is not suitable for me, nor does it belong to me."
"Why didn't you tell me!? Why didn't you tell me that you didn't want to be a policeman? I thought... I thought we were good friends..."
Even if that friendship has disappeared long ago, they were indeed close friends who trusted and relied on each other. It was only today that they heard the true words of their friends. Qi Songling could no longer tell whether the bitterness filling his chest came from anger or sadness.
He kept thinking about the time he got along with each other. They talked freely about each other's dreams and said that they wanted to stretch their ambitions together. Perhaps the friend's embarrassed expression at that time had already revealed some information.
But in any case, the friend never confessed to him that this incident hit him hard. It turned out that the other party's distrust of him started earlier, or in other words, he never trusted him.
In this way, it was foolish of me to believe that they had a deep friendship.
No matter what he thought, the heavy haze accumulated in his heart was still lingering.
"What's the point of knowing the reason now?" Compared to Qi Songling's chaotic mood, Bai Muyao's attitude seemed calm.
"Maybe we used to be good friends. I contacted you about the previous kidnapping case because I heard Mr. Luo mention your whereabouts. I wanted to say that since I want the police to do business, it's better to choose someone who has acquaintances."
The question that had been pressed on the other party was now clearly answered, but Qi Songling did not feel happy at all.
"But the truth is, I have long since given up walking the same path as you, and you have a job that you are proud of. We are no longer the little devils who had to partner with each other. Without me, you will continue to be Police." Said Bai Muyao, with a rare wry smile on his usually serious face. "Me too, it wouldn't be the same without you."
The eyes of the two intersected. Facing each other's relieved eyes, Qi Songling took the lead in lowering his head impatiently.
"So you understand? The past is the past, you don't have to mind me, and you don't have to think about looking for a chance to make amends..."
Although he didn't want to hear it, the last sentence "This will only bother me" still came to Qi Songling's ears clearly.
Even if he wanted to explain that he wasn't just doing it for atonement, it was pointless now.
Just like a watch in the palm of your hand, despite the disasters, they still go on without stopping, and the relationship between them will not stay there forever.
When I first received the gift, I can still vividly remember the excitement and emotion that filled my chest, but for the person who gave him the watch, it is a memory that can be discarded at any time. The other party will move forward no matter what. Only I am still indulging in the memory, hesitating to move forward.
In the past few years, it's not that he hasn't tried to have a girlfriend, but he no longer has the uncontrollable impulse and the crazy love that almost swallowed each other.And as he grew older, he also gradually discovered that the combination of two men is not unforgivable, but only requires the awareness and courage to face the critical eyes of everyone.
He thought more than once, if he can still be with this person, it doesn't matter what other people think of him, he will muster up the courage to face everything, and he will never run away again, as long as he is given another chance, he will definitely To take advantage of.
Therefore, when Captain Shi proposed this plan to him, he agreed to join after only thinking for a few seconds, in order to be able to see this person again and confide to him what he hadn't had time to say back then.
In fact, I don't want to be separated from you, and I also want to be with you. In fact, over the years, I haven't forgotten you for a day...
However, when they met again, the other party's cold attitude made him hesitate.
What was even more frustrating was that no matter how he was treated indifferently, after so many years, he still couldn't forget this person, and still fell in love with him.
"I understand..." In the end, Qi Songling could only squeeze out these two words with a smile.
Although he wanted to cry out what his years of pain and struggle were, a seemingly relieved smile appeared on his face, and he applauded silently for his superb performance.
"Before, I was thinking too much, but you had already forgotten all about it. Now I'm relieved."
Mingming said so in his mouth and thought so in his heart, why didn't he feel relieved?
Hearing Bai Muyao said with a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you think so", Qi Songling, who couldn't hold on any longer, used the excuse of wanting to rest, and tucked himself into the sheets that were filled with the smell of disinfectant.
The rampant pain in the chest is more uncomfortable than the wound on the body.
Bai Muyao, who said "you rest first", got up and walked out the door without hesitation, but turned his head as if thinking of something.
"I will get in touch with Captain Shi. As for this case...can you continue to follow up? Or do you want him to send someone else to respond?"
"There is no time to send others. Didn't you say that my injury is not serious? Tomorrow we have to meet the people from Baihu's side as scheduled."
The voice muffled under the blanket, Qi Songling still forced herself to speak clearly.
"If you feel that I or the police are in the way, just leave us alone. Anyway, this is the responsibility of our police. You don't need to bet your life."
"Don't worry, I don't intend to lose my life."
After so calmly announcing it, Bai Muyao left the words to have a good rest, and walked out of the ward.
When the sound of the door closing came, Qi Songling's long suppressed tears finally welled up in his eyes.
How long has it been since you experienced this sad sense of powerlessness?No matter how hard I tried to suppress it, the heat still poured into my eyes, waiting for the embankment to burst.
The first time he tasted this uncomfortable feeling was when he was alone in the bathroom of the hospital, reluctant to leave his friends; the second time was when he realized that he could not fall in love with other women, and his mind was only thinking about the news. no friends.
