After the sea king wears into the ancient abuse text

Yu Yicheng did not sleep with Xie Qi tonight.

It's not that he didn't want to, but Xie Qi closed the studio door as soon as he got home.

After dinner, Xie Qi ran into the study with the quilt in his arms, without giving Yu Yicheng any chance to react.

Knocking on the door and bringing him fruit was accepted, but he just leaned against the door and leaned against Yu Yicheng to finish eating, then closed the door.

Obviously meant to sleep separately.

Yu Yicheng stayed outside the door for a long time, calling him in a low voice.

"What are you doing?" Xie Qi was overwhelmed, and pushed the door open, his eyes lowered to the ground, but he didn't look at him, "You left me alone."

"Go to the bedroom?" Yu Yicheng faced him with the light behind his back, and even his voice was a little low, "It's very late, I'm ready to go to bed, baby."

"Do not."

His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, low and short, almost silent.

Yu Yicheng opened the door with one hand, put his arm around him, pinned him on the door frame and kissed: "Don't make trouble, Qiqi."

"Why am I making trouble again?" Xie Qi widened his eyes and pushed him away, but he didn't want to really push him away, so he grabbed Yu Yicheng's collar with his fingers while pushing and pulling, "What are you talking about?"

"I didn't mean you to make trouble," Yu Yicheng took a breath, "Qiqi, don't do this."

"What do I want?" He completely let go of his hands, hanging on his sides, "Should I be happy?"

Although it seems that Lin Xuan and Yu Yicheng have no closer relationship at all, Xie Qi feels that there is always a thin thread between them.

The silk thread was not obvious, it was thin and weak, but once the two of them got closer, even if it was just an unusual intersection, the thread immediately became tense, entangled Xie Qi in every thread.

For a moment, he felt that his breath was being clenched.

There is no need to say this to Yu Yicheng.

Because he was unhappy, Yu Yicheng took him away from the class reunion directly.

When I came out, it was not that no one was persuading me.

Some people even cleared the table and said it was time to change the game, and people from other places came to pull them over. In short, everyone was trying to smooth things over and try to separate them from Lin Xuan.

Yu Yicheng also watched him quietly, but he kept sternly ignoring others, and once wanted to shake off Yu Yicheng's hand.

So Yu Yicheng only reasoned that he was drunk and had to go home with Xie Qi.

——Without any hesitation, he rejected the kindness of all other friends, and only accompanied Xie Qi all the way back.

He was busy with dinner by himself, and when it was ready, it was delivered to Xie Qi's mouth, and he almost coaxed him to eat it one bite at a time.

It stands to reason that Yu Yicheng did not do badly, at least much better than his first love who turned a blind eye to similar situations.

But as time passed, the more Yu Yicheng coaxed him, the more unhappy he looked.

For example right now.

"That was not what I meant……"

"Do you only know this sentence?"

After a stalemate for a while, Xie Qi felt a little fog in front of his eyes, making him unable to see Yu Yicheng's expression clearly: "Don't bother me, I just want to be alone."

Yu Yicheng fell silent as he said.

After a long time, he gently followed Xie Qi's words and said, "Then you go to the bedroom, and I'll come to the study, okay?"

The study room only has a leather sofa slightly wider than one person, and a simple low bed.

Usually, when Yu Yicheng is working, he likes to sneak in, cling to the man, and then cuddle up on the small bed with Yu Yicheng.

But if a person rests and sleeps here alone, he will naturally not have the comfort of a bedroom.

He was noncommittal, and watched Yu Yicheng go in to tidy up the quilt, and by the way, tidy up the draft papers that Xie Qi had piled diagonally in the corner of the desk.

Yu Yicheng looked like he wanted to hug him when he passed by, but he didn't say a word, nor did he look at Yu Yicheng.

This hug is nothing.

The bed in the bedroom was chosen by them together, it was thick and soft, very suitable for sleeping in winter.

The quilt is also soft and plush, which can wrap people tightly.

But somehow he felt a bit empty around him.

Probably because there is a lack of heat around the body.

Anyway, I have been sleeping alone for decades, so I can't bear it in just a few months?

He emphasized to himself over and over that Xie Qi didn't know when he fell asleep.

He didn't sleep well.

Memories that he thought were lost in time haunted him.

There is no coherent plot, just broken scenes.

For example, when he saw his boyfriend entering the hotel arm in arm with others, the cold white neon lights beside the hotel suddenly turned into gaudy rose red.

For example, after his art exhibition was canceled midway, people chattered along the way, and the man looked at his face coldly without moving.

Another example... the light of the incandescent lamp strafed the shattered glass, and when he bent down to clean it up, a familiar voice suddenly came from above his head:

"I think you've been a little nervous lately."

"I never intended to deceive you."

"I thought you'd already seen it."

"Now that you know it, let's end it."

……

"Don't make more meaningless entanglements, good boy."

In the early hours of the morning, he woke up with a start.

The street lamps outside the window were still shining tirelessly, but the stars in the sky had already dimmed.

There was silence all around.

He suddenly felt extremely thirsty.

The living room was also dark.

With the light from the window, he walked to the corner of the round platform.

—a small lamp was burning in the corner.

Under the lamp was his familiar figure.

It was hard for him to describe how he felt at that moment.

It was as if the realistic dream just now had suddenly turned into fragile fragments.

The voice in the dream suddenly drifted to a distant and strange place, and even the familiar feeling became an illusion.

Only the person in front of him is the reality that surrounds him all the time.

Xie Qi stood by the round platform and stayed for a long time before he heard his own voice:

"Why don't you go to bed?"

"Sleeping, come out and have a look just after waking up." Yu Yicheng came over and stroked his face, "Why are you sweating so much?"

"Maybe I have a cold."

He answered vaguely, but he didn't know what he was talking about—he felt that all his thoughts were sucked away by the touch on his forehead.

But Yu Yicheng seemed to care a lot about his words:

"Have you caught a cold again?"

He didn't hear what Yu Yicheng Xuxu read afterwards, but when he came back to his senses, a cup of warm water with honey had been handed to his mouth.

He wanted to say something, but in the end he just drank the glass of water slowly.

Before he walked into the bedroom door, Yu Yicheng gave him a gentle tug.

"Ok?"

"There is no goodnight kiss today."

Xie Qi fell into a warm embrace, and then his forehead was stamped.

"Nice dream."

When he wrapped himself in the quilt again, Xie Qi fell into a deep sleep and had a peaceful night.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Yicheng left very early, leaving only breakfast on the table.

Turning on the phone, Yu Yicheng sent him the schedule, down to every minute and every second.

Breakfast is his favorite shrimp dumpling, and the tea that Yu Yicheng bought last week.

He suddenly felt that everything was just right.

Then he took the initiative to call Yu Yicheng.

"I'll go to Pei Yu first...well, let him watch Gaigai with me at that art exhibition... come to see you at night?"

"Not at night? Well...you have another meeting..."

"I'm going to your office."

When the call hangs up, it will brighten the sky.

He stepped out of the door under the golden sunshine.

"Here!" Pei Yu was waiting for him in the coffee shop early, "I ordered a cappuccino for you."

Xie Qi took out the manuscript and started chatting with him.

"That old Brunner must like your picture."

"I hope you don't run into Celie... she's the one in the committee who has the biggest prejudice against this oriental style, tsk..."

Pei Yu knows all about art exhibitions in other countries.

But his interest came and went quickly, and after a while he excitedly asked Xie Qi what happened yesterday:

"Why did you leave so early yesterday? Just as I was about to find you, I was entangled by that man—it was so annoying! But when I got rid of him, you disappeared!"

Xie Qi remained silent for a moment.

"Could it be that Lin Xuan did something again?" He was taken aback, "How can he go so far?"

"No," Xie Qi hesitated to speak, "he didn't really do anything either."

At best, it's a little irritating.

But he reacted greatly, and left with Yu Yicheng immediately.

Pei Yu frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

"No..." Pei Yu hesitated for a while, "Don't blame me for talking too much, it's just people in our circle...sometimes they are quite mean."

"How should I put it, it is impossible for Mr. Lin Xuan to never see you all, just like I can always see my ex."

"If you can't hold your breath, you will only be unhappy."

Others are either indifferent, or they may say that Xie Qi has no tolerance, which makes everyone unhappy.

Pei Yu didn't say this, but Xie Qi almost guessed the meaning.

"I know," Xie Qi untimely recalled the goodnight kiss in the early hours of last night, "I just didn't suppress my emotions for a while."

"It's normal," Pei Yu nodded, as if sympathetic, "They are very annoying—but I think Yu Yicheng always protects you, so don't feel too uncomfortable."

"Ah."

Pei Yu stared at Xie Qi's sudden smile and became dazed.

"No wonder he likes you so much..."

The few words that Pei Yu muttered afterward kept circling in his mind.

Until he walked to Yu Yicheng's office floor with the painting bag in his hand, he felt very relaxed.

And then the ease came to an abrupt end—after he saw people coming and going on the top floors.

Yu Yicheng happened to be waiting for him at the elevator entrance.

Before Yu Yicheng came up to hug him, he immediately asked:

"What's going on downstairs?"

"The company's reorganization is complete." Yu Yicheng was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"I saw the logo of the Lin Group..."

"It was a cooperation between our two families," Yu Yi admitted and explained, holding his hand, "It was decided a long time ago."

It didn't start because of Lin Xuan, and it won't end because of him Xie Qi.

"Then you go downstairs..."

He remembered that Lin Xuan said that that floor belonged to him, but Lin Xuan usually worked in another building, and the office building on this floor was almost vacant.

"It may be activated."

Yu Yicheng became cautious in his choice of words.

"Lin Xuan will come?"

Xie Qi suddenly felt unstoppable irritability rising in his heart.

At that moment, the gentleness when he entered the door disappeared in an instant, replaced by a voice that he felt sharp:

"Why do you have to be so close to him?"

"No," Yu Yicheng grabbed his hand, "I already contacted him last night. Our two projects are completely parallel and there will be no intersection... His project is mainly not here. The floor below should be There are other people stationed."

"But it's possible he'll come, isn't it?"

Xie Qi didn't quite listen to what Yu Yicheng said:

"After all, his family's logo is almost blending with yours."

"That's just..." Yu Yicheng had a headache, "It's a business logo, nothing more."

In fact, he stayed up so late last night because he was in a hurry to split up the cooperation project, and cut the intersection related to Lin Xuan piece by piece.

In fact, it is not necessary. Even if their projects overlap, in most cases, the front-line employees will hand over.

But he still deliberately divided it cleanly.

It's not that no one complained about this - the smooth distribution was due to Yu Yicheng's accumulated experience and prestige from his previous work.

Yu Yicheng didn't go into details.

Xie Qi is not unexpected.

But somehow he couldn't hold back the rumbling breath in his chest.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but he suddenly remembered the dream that disturbed him in the dark early morning.

Separation, communication in the dark, and him who has always been kept in the dark.

and the final break.

The past and reality intertwined, and he felt a throbbing pain in his temple.

Maybe it's not necessarily true that I have a cold.

He could only hear his own voice trying to calm down, not so sharp, but unavoidably cold:

"What if I don't want you to?"

Xie Qi stepped forward, forced Yu Yicheng back, and then sat in his arms:

"Can't you not attend anything related to him?"

"...Including the group's business dealings?"

It shouldn't be like this.

Yu Yicheng had no personal contact with Lin Xuan before, and he would completely avoid suspicion in such gatherings of friends after today.

And he was requesting that Yu Yicheng not even go to the cooperation between the two companies—even Lin Xuan would not even take a shadow of himself in Yu Yicheng's project.

He shouldn't continue to ask, and shouldn't ask Yu Yicheng like this.

But Yu Yicheng only answered the question lightly, without directly rejecting it.

If Yu Yicheng refuses directly, maybe he will just forget it like this——Xie Qi thought like this in a strange way, and at the same time he couldn't restrain himself from going ahead:

"Correct."

"is it not OK?"

He didn't know why he had an aggressive thought, he just heard his own voice coming out one by one, leaving no room for others:

"Just for me, can't you?"

There were only the two of them on this floor.

They were so close together that they could hear each other's breath.

"can."

Xie Qi leaned sideways in Yu Yicheng's arms, not expecting that he would get a response.

So much so that he suspected that he was hallucinating:

"what?"

"If you really think so," Yu Yicheng squeezed his hand again, "give me some time."

He was completely silent.

In the silence, nothing happened, and it seemed that everything happened.

It was the answer he wanted, and the answer he never expected to receive.

So much so that when he spoke again, his voice was a bit waxy:

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

Yu Yicheng's sigh fell into his ears, making him flinch.

The two did not speak for a long time.

It's been so long that he realizes later what Yu Yicheng's words mean, and it's been so long that he feels a subtle uneasiness in his heart.

What he said today was indeed too much.

No matter how good-tempered Yu Yicheng is to him, no matter how accommodating he is, he probably won't be happy now.

...Yu Yicheng's silence made his uneasiness suddenly expand.

If it were him, it would be impossible for him to agree to such an outrageous request.

He could feel the man's deep emotions.

And this emotion is what he forced out.

It's just that Yu Yicheng not only followed him in everything, but also never said anything serious to him.

Realizing this, after a long time, he finally couldn't help it, and said softly:

"……What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking," Yu Yicheng lifted him a little, and looked at him:

"Which bastard made you like this."
