After the sea king wears into the ancient abuse text

"Want to wipe it?"

Rory handed him a handkerchief.

He drank too fast and carelessly just now, the crystal clear liquid snaked down and wet his clothes.

The handkerchief that Rory carried with him?

Xie Qi froze for a moment, thanked him and took it.

In fact, there is tissue paper on the table.But they all ignored it.

"You... Shao Lian said something to you?"

He paused at the hand he was wiping, and glanced warily at Rory.

It's like asking, how do you know?

"What happened between you and Shao Lian...a lot of people know about it," Rory said slowly, "Shao Lian is still a director of the alumni association, so we've heard a little bit about it."

Xie Qi fixedly glanced at Rory, then chuckled suddenly.

He didn't answer for a moment.

He just lowered his eyes and fiddled with the wine glasses on the table, his expression focused, he didn't know what he was thinking, maybe he was thinking about how to answer, maybe he wasn't thinking about anything.

Rory had never seen Xie Qi like this.

The cheeks are flushed, the lips are moist, and the eyes are sparkling, as if they can reflect the colorful and soft lights around them.

Even his white fingers resting on the glass were faintly stained with water, perhaps because the wine was overflowing, and it was tainted with the rich aroma of the wine, making one seem to be able to imagine the warmth of his fingertips.

People can't move their eyes.

However, his expression with lowered eyes was still cold.

As long as he met him, Rory would think of the rain when they first met, as if the coldness of the rain that night had all merged into Xie Qi's body.

In fact, it is true. Xie Qi is born with a pure face, whether playing the piano or chatting, there is a sense of coolness.

This kind of coldness is not the indifference that blows in the face, nor does it reject people thousands of miles away. It is like a trickling stream in late spring and early winter, gurgling and attracting people to approach. It is not until you really want to put your hands in the water that you feel so cold.

Rory understood where his strangeness came from.

It's not pure, it should be beautiful.

Pure on the outside, beautiful on the inside.

This beauty is very deep.Only at the moment when he smokes or now when he is drinking, can there be a little clue from his fingers to let himself be aware of it.

Has Shao Lian ever seen Xie Qi like this?

He suddenly remembered that in the past, when the crowd was full of gossip, someone always emphasized that "Shao Lian told Xie Qi to go east, so he wouldn't look west, and Shao Lian didn't allow him to drink, so he pushed the drinking game between classmates", and there was laughter between the words Very obvious.

According to the numerous rumors, Xie Qi should be such a determined fool.

Seeing is believing.

He knew that the question he just asked had crossed the line, and he also knew that Xie Qi's closing his eyes and not speaking at this time could be called a refusal.

Maybe Xie Qi doesn't like to talk about such personal topics with others, or maybe, in Xie Qi's eyes, their relationship is not so close yet.

But he wants to go further.

"I heard some news recently," Rory considered, "I also know about the competition you participated in. Uh, I mean, in fact, Shao Lian has done a lot of things recently, basically to help many Late……"

He has been carefully observing Xie Qi's expression.

But Xie Qi just sat quietly, neither Shao Lian nor Xu Chi seemed to be able to arouse his reaction.

This gave Rory a little encouragement.

He went on to say:

"The circle here is only so big, and he has caused many people to have opinions. If you need help..."

"Do not."

Xie Qi finally spoke.

Probably because of the alcohol, he started to flush from the neck to his cheeks, and even his eyes were a little foggy and sleepy.

The voice is a bit stagnant and viscous, as if it is very difficult to pronounce.

Rory regretted it for a moment.

He could indeed guess why Xie Qi was probably drunk.

Shao Lian's running around for Xu Chi has long been noticed by many people.The others were not willing to give way to Xu Chi, but Shao Lian's face was there, and he also promised a lot of benefits to others, so the matter was muddied like this.

At present, the only intersection between them is this game.This competition is also relatively well-known in the industry, and there are many people from their colleges and universities; the list of finalists was announced not long ago, and Xie Qi is on the list impressively, and the ranking is superb.

Xie Qi has superb painting skills, it is a matter of course to enter the finals, and it is not uncommon to even win the highest award.

In fact, based on his grades and appearance, if he hadn't been chasing Shao Lian like a heartless man, there would probably be many suitors—but he was the first to become a joke in the eyes of everyone, so naturally no one would mention this stubble.

Coincidentally, Xu Chi also participated.

What Shao Lian would say to Xie Qi, and why Xie Qi was so drunk today, he could guess with his eyes closed.

——He has long heard about Shao Lian and Xie Qi's willingness to fight and endure.

But maybe he shouldn't have said it so bluntly.

Xie Qi looked over at him, but for a moment he couldn't tell whether those dark eyes were filled with lights or tears.

"I'm sorry." He rushed in, he shouldn't have mentioned Xie Qi's sadness directly, "...don't be sad."

"Actually, it's okay," Xie Qi paused for a while, then burst into a smile, "It's just a pity - I've been drawing that picture for a long time, but I can't hand it in."

Sure enough.

When the guess came true, Rory didn't feel happy at all, and kept his breath in his heart.

He has a distinguished family background and a wide range of contacts, and has seen many dark things, but he has never seen the person involved so willingly.

It seems that there is no hesitation at all, and he gave up his hard work easily.

Just for Shao Lian?

He didn't even show a little anger.

Just smiled slightly and told myself, that's it, it's over.

How can you be so stupid?

"Actually, you don't have to listen to him. After all, you have been painting for so long."

After deliberating for a long time, Rory finally offered a very gentle persuasion.

Shao Lian's status in Xie Qi's heart is too high, and reckless persuasion will only be counterproductive.

Advice can only be done step by step.

In fact, according to him, it would be better for Xie Qi to break up directly.

Who would think that Shao Lian has sincerity towards Xie Qi?He didn't believe that Xie Qi couldn't detect it by himself.

"It's okay." Still in a clear and light tone.

Rory frowned.

"It's the last time anyway."

Rory frowned.

"What do you mean?" His voice was steady, hiding the fluctuations in his heart well.

"I want to break up."

Xie Qi leaned back, still smiling, with an inexplicable meaning in his smile.

"That's wonderful—" Rory blurted out, "I mean, I don't think you've been through enough to deserve it."

"Do you know a lot about me and him?"

"Uh, in fact, many people know about it." Rory said truthfully, and then added, "But about the competition... I inquired about it."

Then he guessed very well.

Xie Qi nodded, as if he had expected this answer, and had nothing to say for a while.

"Actually, you don't have to retire," Rory said bluntly this time, "Since you want to break up, why bother yourself like this?—Actually, you don't have to listen to him."

"More than that," Xie Qi closed his eyes, as if the tense strings suddenly relaxed, and his smile relaxed a little, "I don't want this painting anymore."

Without waiting for Rory to ask questions, he took out a painting from the bag next to him.

This painting has been framed, and it is quite exquisite, which shows the owner's intentions.

Very bright tones, large chunks of clear yellow, pure warm red, strong colors and full-bodied strokes.

Birds fly by in the park, balloons hang in the sky, flower beds are colorful, a coat hangs on a bench.

The composition and colors are stunning.

"The first time we met, he gave me his coat." Xie Qi's voice was very weak, as if the matter had no longer aroused his emotions. "It was a thunderstorm that day, and it cleared up soon."

Rory didn't answer, just looked at him intently, his face reflected in his blue eyes.

"But it's over."

Xie Qi looked at the paintings on the table, feeling a little lost.

It was a coincidence that his first love in the previous life also gave him the coat when they first met.

The difference is that the original body didn't understand, but he woke up early.

It's just a coat, worthless.

Not worth thinking about either.

"Do you want me to show you that house?" Rory changed the subject, "My friend is a designer, and I happen to be free tonight."

He didn't want to see Xie Qi immersed in memories.

"um. Thank you."

"You're welcome," Rory handed him a cup of honey water he just ordered. "Actually, you can participate in more activities. There must be many people who like you."

Xie Qi looked at him and blinked.

"Maybe I can meet someone more suitable right away."

"Really?" Xie Qi took a sip of honey water slowly, his lips were a little rosy, "Actually, I don't expect much."

Rory looked at him silently and quietly, his blue eyes were quite pure.

"Come on, you just haven't met the right person, love is always there," he said suddenly, "Loveisnotlove/

Whichalters when italteration finds,"

"—Orbendswiththeremovertoremove," Xie Qi answered, drinking the honey water in one gulp, "Sonnet116? But I don't like this song."

There is no such thing as a long time.

Heartbeat to him is always just a flash in the pan.

"I think you just don't know people well," insisted Rory, teasingly. "People often don't believe in love because of their ex."

What Rory said tonight was really over the top.

Xie Qi doesn't like chatting like this, and he's not acting in a literary movie.

Love, love, he has long stopped pursuing this, and being together is nothing but happiness anyway.

When a relationship didn't make him happy, he broke it off cleanly, or switched people.

Quite simple, no words necessary.

He suddenly felt a little disappointed, shrugged:

"For whatever reason, I don't believe it anymore."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk anymore, Rory wisely shut up, and the two got up and went out.

I happened to meet the boss at the door.

"Hi boss."

Xie Qi greeted obediently.

"Come to play with friends?" Xu Shao greeted with a smile, and Yu Yicheng followed him without saying a word.

This kid has quite a lot of friends, and there are two of them in the bar, one in front of the other, and the atmosphere in which the two of them get along with the kid is not unusual.Xu Shao was in a strange mood, but had a friendly smile on his face.

Cough, it's nice to be young.

Xie Qi exchanged a few words with the boss, then glanced at the person next to the boss.

Be polite, be a little curious, and not be offensive.

Xu Shao introduced it logically, and jokingly said that he was also the owner of this store, and asked him to recognize it.I didn't lie, after all, Yu Yicheng invested some money.

The kid really nodded and said hello to the boss.

Yu Yicheng nodded slightly, but did not answer.

He is not curious about other people's private affairs, but he is not ignorant of the world.What Xu Shao can see, he can naturally see.

Xie Qi looked at him squarely, probably because he was a little drunk, his eyes were bright and full.

His eyes are a little cold today, unlike the day he gave the umbrella.

He has no cufflinks on his hands today.

Images emerged from the memories, and Xie Qi was distracted by the memories, saying goodbye to Xu Shao and the others, and walked out the door with Rory.

He didn't stop in the car, as if inspired, he took out his pen and started to draw.

Rory slowed down thoughtfully.

"Draw less in the car and protect your eyes."

After thinking for a moment, Rory gave a warning.

Although he himself felt that this instruction was inappropriate, but...he just wanted to talk to Xie Qi.

Just now Xie Qi didn't seem to care much about himself, he wanted to make amends.

"Yeah," Xie Qi answered without answering, and suddenly said, "Your eyes are so beautiful."

"Really?" Rory didn't understand why, but his tone immediately relaxed a lot.

"Yes, like the sapphires I've seen."

Satisfied, Rory stopped talking, turned on the music, and concentrated on driving.

Xie Qi drew carefully on the paper.

The person who gave him an umbrella on a rainy night.The umbrella handle glowed with a cold metallic light, and was held by a slender hand.

The wrist is a little inward, and a pair of cuff buttons are pinned to the dark black cuffs.

The cufflinks are inlaid with sapphires, which are clear and bright, even in the dark night.

A drop of rain floated in, landed on the face of the gemstone, and passed by quietly.

The author has something to say: After a long time, Yu Yicheng: Can you change your habit of drawing pictures for people everywhere?

Xie Qi: ..Huh?

About poetry, selected from ShakespeareSonnet116. This sentence can probably be understood as if some of the two parties empathize with each other, then it means that this love is not love.True love lasts forever.Rory wanted to comfort him not to be sad about the breakup, but Xie Qi didn't appreciate it (: 3///)__
