superficial dialogue

If you want to say who Xu Li hates the most, it's never Ke Jiang, but Xie Baijing.Before he and Ke Jiang, he was indeed very good—although he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and felt that Ke Jiang looked down on him, but most of the time, Ke Jiang was very good to him, and he could also let go of his temper with Ke Jiang.However, since Xie Baijing appeared, everything seemed to have completely changed.He realized that Ke Jiang had treated him well before, but that wasn't the best.Ke Jiang really began to give up his heart and soul to people, he was able to give up everything, and even burn himself like a candle, and that person was not Xu Li.It's not him, but it's normal. If the other party is Ke Jiang's future wife who he knows everything about and is qualified in all aspects, he can feel indifferent, but the opposite party is a worthless little boy Xie Baijing.

Could it be that he is not as good as a Xie Baijing after all these years of being low-key and small?

Even at this time, Ke Jiang chose to "go elsewhere" with Xie Baijing!

Ke Jiang hastily agreed to Xie Baijing just to get rid of Xu Li. Who would have thought that Xu Li's mind would be full of thoughts in a short time.He only turned his face to the side, looked at his former good brother plainly, and walked towards Xie Baijing without even saying goodbye.

Xu Li couldn't control it: "Ke Jiang, you—"

His raised voice stopped halfway through.Behind Xie Baijing, there were a few security guards from the Ke family, staring at him, ready to come forward at all times.It was only then that Xu Li realized that this was Ke Lao's funeral, and the occasion he chose was really inappropriate.He originally wanted to take advantage of Ke Jiang's sadness to come to comfort him and repair the broken relationship between the two, but he didn't expect that his emotional agitation would be self-defeating again.On the other hand, Xie Baijing, who has always been deliberately reticent and silent, and even brought people here in a "considerate" way, has to say that his rank is higher than him.Xu Lixian laughed angrily, this kid, why are there so many tricks!

Ke Jiang was unaware of these.He was already tired of Xu Li's nonsensical talk, and he was not ashamed of Xu Li's previous actions.If he said he was sorry to Xie Baijing - because of his stalking back then - then he thought he had never been sorry to Xu Li.Xu Licai was the white-eyed wolf that he really didn't know well, no matter how plausible he said it now, it could only make him feel chills down his spine.But the mood that was numb like stagnant water all day still fluctuated because of Xu Li's clamor.

He followed Xie Baijing blindly, and Xie Baijing walked in front, his footsteps were as unhurried as before, allowing him to follow with peace of mind.When he came back to his senses, the two were still at the place where they met last time, and they couldn't help showing surprise in their eyes.He knew that what he said in the small garden last time was aimed at people with a knife, and he couldn't say it without hurting people's hearts.Xie Baijing's self-esteem is so strong, he should not even take a step further in Ke Zhai.But Xie Baijing is not familiar with Ke Zhai, so he must only know this place.

Xie Baijing looked down at him, and said softly, "You've lost a lot of weight."

"Well, thank you," Ke Jiang greeted him unintentionally, perfunctorily, "We have nothing to say, I'm leaving."

"Drink something." Xie Baijing didn't deliberately stop him, and lowered his head.On the small table, there are wine bottles and wine glasses. It is not known when he placed them here.His slender fingers deftly opened and poured the wine, the liquid poured into the bottle, and there was a faint smell of alcohol in the air, "I brought it from home, I don't understand, maybe you like it."

Ke Jiang likes wine.People who are often on social occasions are naturally not bad at drinking.In addition to the necessary drinking as a means of socializing, he is also quite willing to have a drink or two when he is happy, and there are many good wines in the wine cabinet at home.Xie Baijing really knows how to choose, and he picks his favorite bottle after picking one.But he still just shook his head lightly: "No need."

Xie Baijing: "There is still a lot of wine at home, I left it to waste. When will it be delivered?"

"You might like it in the future." Ke Jiang's tone was very calm, "You don't need to send it over, if you don't like it anymore, just throw it away."

Xie Baijing choked: "The Riverside Apartment..."

He stopped talking about "home" because he realized that the apartment seemed completely unimportant to Ke Jiang, let alone "home".Sure enough, Ke Jiang said, "I'll see you off too."

"I won't be in China anymore." Ke Jiang said it easily, without blinking his eyes, so that he could clearly capture the momentary stiffness of the young man's expression, "It's useless to keep the house, you can live in it."

Xie Baijing seemed to be able to hear the sound of the taut strings in his heart being completely snapped.All of a sudden, all the rhetoric he had prepared for a long time came to naught, and he even watched Ke Jiang calmly pick up the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.When Ke Jiang put down his glass, he felt the cold and spicy liquid roll down from his numb mouth, pour into his throat coldly, and finally heat up slowly, making his stiff body seem to be connected to the veins.Right now, he is sincerely thanking Xie Baijing, this is the most comfortable moment for him in so many days.It would be great if it was not his old lover who had a deep hatred, but a sweet little baby. I am afraid that no matter how much pain and sorrow there is, he will forget it.

"Ke Jiang," Xie Baijing said with some difficulty, "Are you coming back?"

Ke Jiang: "No."

The corners of Xie Baijing's lips were slightly curved, and it could be seen that he was trying to construct a casual and relaxed smile as an answer.It's just that the person who can smile so captivatingly in front of the camera is not good at laughing in reality, and looks strangely funny.He was silent for a while, and then said casually: "You don't need to be sad."

Ke Jiang: "?"

"Today is an occasion for people to be honest and sad," Xie Baijing said, "Why don't you cry?"

Ke Jiang: "There are probably a lot of people who want to ask this question, but you are the first one to come to me." He paused, and his tone was even helpless, "Xie Baijing, when will you grow up? Why? Or can you say anything to people?"

There was a flash of panic in Xie Baijing's eyes, and he pursed his lips and looked at Ke Jiang firmly, like a child who said something wrong, or the kind who was dull and ignorant.Ke Jiang also looked at him, and the hatred and grievances that filled his heart before slowly faded away like a tide, leaving only a clean place.Ke Jiang realized that he still couldn't be cruel to Xie Baijing.He is clearly a wolf cub, but he pretends to be a little stray dog ​​in front of him, he is really skilled in acting.And this little stray dog ​​was still not satisfied, as if he had to ponder over his words for a while before he dared to speak: "I just want you to feel less uncomfortable."

"Why are you as virtuous as Xu Li?" Hearing these words, Ke Jiang woke up suddenly, and large waves of waves rolled back again.He seemed to have pulled away the gentle and calm skin just now, and said in a cold voice, "You two are the least qualified to come to my grandfather's funeral. How can you come to persuade me not to be sad?"

Xie Baijing looked at him in astonishment.

Ke Jiang: "Didn't you take the photo that Xu Li took to grandpa?"

"Of course not!" Xie Baijing said hastily. How smart he was, his voice trembled when he suddenly realized something, "I have never been in contact with Xu Li, nor have I taken any photos. Did you do something? He told you, I took a photo and he showed it to Mr. Ke? I didn’t!"

Ke Jiang opened his lips and closed them again.

"There is a misunderstanding between us," Xie Baijing said, "Isn't it, Jiang Bao?"

Ke Jiang wanted to say, what if there is a misunderstanding between them?Such a small misunderstanding is a fact, but Xie Baijing's previous deception and concealment is also a fact, and it is a fact he himself admits.But it is undeniable that Ke Jiang is still a little more relaxed - maybe this at least proves that Xie Baijing still has a bottom line, and will not share the intimate photos of the two with others, nor will he subjectively stimulate his grandfather.He used to be always afraid of thinking too badly about Xie Baijing, as if his enthusiasm would be completely ruined; now it seems that he can get his wish, Xie Baijing is indeed not that bad.

But what Ke Jiang wants is not "not that bad", but the original Xie Baijing, who is clean and flawless.

"Sorry," Ke Jiang said stiffly, "I misunderstood you."

Xie Baijing: "I'm sorry."

Ke Jiang didn't know what he was apologizing for again.It seems that these days, he is always being apologized frequently, Xu Li said sorry, Xie Baijing said sorry, even the old man said sorry to him before he passed away.Even if Ke Jiang wanted to let go of all these things, he had already thought about it when he was serving on the sick bed. After his grandfather left, he would let go of the current useless friends and circles. He wanted to go around the world and go with him. Take a rest and find a job that he really likes, and he will also try to find new companionship, whether it starts from physical or emotional.Ke Jiang thinks fully and beautifully about the future after letting go. He is still young, healthy, rich, and confident that his mother will definitely encourage and support him. The road ahead should indeed be bright.But those people who made him want to give up the present came out again at this time, but they didn't want him to go, trying to hold him back with apologies.

What is this all about?

Xie Baijing remained silent, lowered his head and poured two more glasses of wine, and pushed one of the glasses in Ke Jiang's direction. Ke Jiang didn't take it, but he drank his own as if he didn't care.In the chilly spring breeze, his speech finally won't be filled with white mist, but has a faint smell of alcohol and the smell of tobacco that he can't get rid of now.As if stimulated by a little bit of alcohol, Xie Baijing said: "Jiang Bao, we shouldn't have come to this point. Give me another chance, okay?"

Ke Jiang shook his head, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.

Xie Baijing asked again: "Give me a chance, okay?"

His questioning this time was almost begging.And Ke Jiang put down his wine glass, and said calmly, "It can't be done. Good horses don't turn back, Xie Baijing, let's look forward."

Xie Baijing said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Ke Jiang didn't expect him to agree so readily, he was slightly surprised and then relieved.He never gave people the slightest bit of face to refuse, and he had already trampled the arrogance of the young man under his feet.It is hard for Xie Baijing to be able to catch up to this step humbly.This should be exactly what he wanted, so why should there be that annoying melancholy in his heart?

He raised his eyes to face Xie Baijing squarely, and staring at these beautiful eyes still made him palpitate uncontrollably.Ke Jiang curved his lips, trying to show a playful and gentle smile that he was good at, as a farewell.But Xie Baijing still stared blankly at the small dimple that appeared on the white cheek, stretched out his hand, and lightly touched the black hair on top of Ke Jiang's head.

The man's hair was very soft, and the young man's palm covered it, thick and warm, and when he stroked it gently, it was full of the tenderness and love that should belong to a lover.Ke Jiang suddenly opened his eyes wide, but he could only feel the young man's hand gently stroking his hair, gentle and silent.Memories whirled like the wind blowing, he used to comfort young people so self-righteously, and Xie Baijing comforted him like this.Memories are always good, but what is this?Ke Jiang thought to himself, it was because he was uncomfortable seeing him, so he came to give me a parting feedback?It's unnecessary, it's really unnecessary, he can pretend to be calm to the angry Xie Baijing, the begging Xie Baijing, and the impulsive Xie Baijing, but he shuns away from the rare gentleness of this usually cold and hard person.He used this tenderness as a life-saving straw at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he was holding the straw in his hand and kept sinking.So much so that seeing this tenderness now, I am more afraid than heartbroken.

Xie Baijing looked down at him, saw the man's eye sockets slowly turning red, and suddenly withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded.

But Ke Jiang still didn't shed tears.If you want him to cry in front of Xie Baijing, it's better to let him die.No matter how heartless people are, they still want to be thin-skinned.He took a step back, his complexion became paler, and he turned and walked away with a cold face.

Xie Baijing took a few steps hastily, but he was not Xu Li after all, and he still stood where he was in the end.He always has to think carefully, thinking that so many people outside are watching with cold eyes, how can he be a drag on Ke Jiang again?

But what if they hadn't broken off, Xie Baijing suddenly thought.If they hadn't broken up, would Ke Jiang today be able to relax and cry in front of him for his grandfather's death?Just like before, Ke Jiang will lean in his arms frankly, see his fragility and sadness with him, and express his dependence and trust without any scruples.If it were him now, he would never use that cover-up again, as if he would be perfunctory to comfort him if he revealed a little more of his true intentions. Instead, he should hug and kiss Ke Jiang tightly, and tell Ke Jiang , he loves him, he needs him, don't leave him.

But he screwed everything up.

He realized his indifference and utilitarianism.His shrewd ambition is like the fangs of a wild beast, and love cannot be swallowed by him, it can only be cut and chewed sharply, and after a little taste, there is nothing left.

But fortunately, his ambition always has some advantages, even if he can't get something, he will never let go.Since Ke Jiang can come and go, he can naturally learn to become a hunter from a beast.
