Lost [Transmigration Book]

Qiao Nanqi froze.

He still hung his head against the side of Zhao Rong's neck, pressed Zhao Rong's hands, and covered Zhao Rong as if embracing him.But the strength in his hand has been slowly withdrawn unconsciously.

They were so close that they even breathed slightly intertwined, but they seemed to be far away.

At this moment, he didn't even know what to do.

When he didn't get any reply to the message he sent to Zhao Rong earlier, he was ready for Zhao Rong to refute him.

Zhao Rong felt that he was just used to it and had a need.

But he is not.

He has a lot to say to Zhao Rong.

When he said "like" to Zhao Rong, he was anxious but looking forward to the reaction and answer—even if it was rejection.

But he didn't even refuse, as if Zhao Rong didn't hear his words.As with his messages, there was no response.

Indifference is more terrifying than rejection.

The indifferent words made him even more at a loss, as if he had been hit hard by a blunt weapon in the heart.

Zhao Rong said he hated the smell of alcohol on his body.

He doesn't like to drink, and he doesn't like to come and go with people in such a feasting place.I don’t know how long it’s been since I made such compromises in order to accomplish a goal.

In exchange, it was only resentment.

He was full of irritability, but he was worried that Zhao Rong would be even more unhappy, so he didn't dare to show it.

When Zhao Rong came back from a dinner party or a nightclub before, faced with his previous words... Is it also the same feeling?

He took several deep breaths, and he seemed to be able to vaguely smell the scent of soap from the clothes Zhao Rong was wearing, which slightly calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart.

He said, "You used to..."

Didn't you drink a lot before?Don't you like being in this kind of place?Why do you hate the smell of alcohol on him now?

Before he said those words, Zhao Rong knew what he was going to say.

"The past was the past, and the present is the present." Zhao Rong's voice was very soft and low, "People change."

These words seemed to be a pun, meant something, and accurately pointed to the bull's-eye.

Qiao Nanqi was speechless for a moment.

Qiao Nanqi didn't move, neither did Zhao Rong.

He pushed Qiao Nanqi with all his strength just now, but now he just leaned against the wall, raised his head slightly, pressed the back of his head against the wall, and looked away.He was waiting for Qiao Nanqi to back away by himself.

Qiao Nanqi raised his head slightly, and when he looked up from Zhao Rong's neck, what he saw was Zhao Rong's rather blank expression.There is no emotion to be seen, but it can make people feel tired.

Zhao Rong is thin, and the line of his jaw outlines the shape of his chin, extending the curve of his profile as if drawn in a painting.He blinked his eyes once and for all, his eyelashes trembling, as if scratching people's hearts.

When they were so close in the past, Zhao Rong would hug him back and look at him with reddish cheeks.

will...

Zhao Rong suddenly turned his gaze and met his gaze.

"You want to kiss me." Zhao Rong said.

Qiao Nanqi was short of breath.

He had been looked at by Zhao Rong many times in the past, and he was used to it, but this time, for some reason, he couldn't bear Zhao Rong's gaze, so he immediately looked away.

The drunkenness mixed with Zhao Rong's words made him dizzy, and he suddenly remembered that Zhao Rong had just said that the smell of alcohol on his body was unpleasant.

He quickly let go of his hand, and staggered back a step.

"I……"

He paused, but didn't know what to say.

Zhao Rong's words hit the thoughts that had just flashed through his mind in an impartial way.

Someone walked into the long and narrow corridor, seeming to be curious about what they were doing here, and looked this way as they passed by.

Zhao Rong was still leaning against the wall and did not speak.

When the man walked away, Zhao Rong said, "You didn't deny it."

"You see, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, but you are still in this kind of place where people come and go, regardless of my intentions, and blocked me here. After I said that I was uncomfortable being held by you like this, The first thing I did was not to back off, but to kiss me."

As he spoke, he actually laughed.

Those slightly curved eyes that were born with a bit of a smile couldn't draw a smile.

He was still smiling, and the passer-by who had just passed by and entered the bathroom had already come out.

As they passed by, the man looked this way curiously.

Zhao Rong watched the man walk away, "What if someone passed by just now?"

"At first, I thought that after I moved away, we would never be involved again in this life. You are like this... I am really surprised."

"Maybe I made a generalization last time. You are not just because of needs. After I left, you really missed me and wanted to see me. But if I have a dog and I don't see it for a few days, I will also I want to see it, and I want to touch its fur. But I’m not a dog, I’m not a pet that waved my hands and ran forward to please others, and I’m not a lover who you call around to solve needs. I have My own dignity..."

"Do you know what I mean?"

Qiao Nanqi's Adam's apple moved slightly and was about to speak, but Zhao Rong suddenly raised his hand and pressed his fingertips on his lips.

Zhao Rong's fingertips were cold and icy, and when they touched the temperature of Qiao Nanqi's lips, his thoughts were racing, and he forgot what he wanted to say just now.

"Shh," Zhao Rong said, "I don't want to argue with people in this kind of place."

"Go back by yourself, I'm leaving."

He sighed leisurely, put away his smile, and stood up straight without leaning against the wall.

He patted the place where his body rubbed against the wall, and saw that there was some dirt on the back of the sleeves, and the white sweater was stained with dust.

He didn't say anything, just patted, then turned around and walked away.

Qiao Nanqi stood where he was, as if he had lost all strength.

He looked at Zhao Rong's back and said, "I didn't come to you because of those."

Zhao Rong didn't turn his head back, and he didn't even stop walking.

Qiao Nanqi lost his strength and leaned against the wall that Zhao Rong had just leaned against.

I don't know if the wine he drank first had an effect, or the conversation just now gave him a headache, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

The chest was very stuffy, and the whole body seemed to be out of place, screaming everywhere.

Xia Yuantu was right.

He really deserves it.

After Zhao Rong came back, she planned to deal with the matter of including the consumption of the whole audience tonight.Anyway, he invested a large amount before the bar was fully established. Now that he paid the money, part of the dividends would still be returned to him. In fact, it was not as much as Yu first thought.

He left this step at the beginning just in case, and he also felt that there was nothing he could do on the surface anyway, so he might as well secretly leave a way out for himself.

This back road may be discovered by those of the Chen family at any time, and it is also very likely that after the plot is over, it will be discovered by Qiao Nanqi, the hero who will not let the Chen family go. He didn't give much hope at all.

I never thought that this back road was actually left safely until now.

It's a pity that he didn't think there was much opportunity in this back road before, and all he kept was some investment money, which was all converted into working capital, which was not enough for him to go to Zhuxi to develop the industrial chain.

It would be best if he could get that inheritance.

If he can't get it, he can continue to make some small investments to ensure that Zhao Ming will have no worries for the rest of his life.

Anything is better than continuing to stay by Qiao Nanqi's side, being an unclear and begging fool.

Zhao Rong went directly to the manager who was on duty tonight, but the manager said, "Didn't all the bills for tonight have already been paid?"

"I haven't paid yet."

"Didn't you ask your friend to pay?" The manager was puzzled, "Just now, I just swiped the card and took the receipt."

Zhao Rong was stunned.

He thought that Liu Shun would ask his parents for money, but the manager led him to the friend who paid the money. He saw Xia Yuantu at another table near the table where they were sitting just now.

Xia Yuantu sat there bored playing with his mobile phone, obviously waiting for Qiao Nanqi.

Zhao Rong thought of Qiao Nanqi's sudden appearance just now—not long after Yu Xian and those people left.

Xia Yuantu came to pay again...

Then these two people must have seen him and Yu Xian go out.

...hope it doesn't cause any other trouble.

He frowned, and didn't go up to say hello to Xia Yuantu, but said to the manager, "It's better to go from my card, please return the money he swiped."

After finishing this matter, he went back to the home in the city center where he lived alone.

He didn't turn on the heater when he left, and the air in late autumn was chilly. When he came out of the shower, Zhao Rong shivered.

In fact, he was not such a strict person. When he lived with Qiao Nanqi for more than a year, he ate and slept neatly, just to accommodate Qiao Nanqi.Now he lives alone freely, he doesn't pay attention to anything, he just took a new quilt and wrapped it around his body, sitting on the carpet in front of the French window in the living room in a daze.

There are much more high-rise buildings in the center of the city than Qiao Nanqi's villa area. Even in the middle of the night, the sky is still shining with a faint colorful light.The light from the human world sprinkled in together with the bright light of the stars and the moon, faintly illuminating the living room filled by Zhao Rong.

It feels more like home.

Zhao Rong was in a daze for a while, then the phone turned on.

Liu Shun broke up all those friends just now, and sent a message asking him what happened tonight and where he is now.

Zhao Rong knew that Liu Shun would definitely ask.It's okay for him to leave Yangcheng, Liu Shun still wants to hang around here, it's really not good for him not to explain.

He sent Liu Shun the address of his current home, and then sent him a voice message: "I'm at home, this is the address, the door is unlocked, just open the door and come in."

Qiao Nanqi called the driver to take him back to his old house on Changxi Road.

He really didn't have the mood to communicate with other people now, so he didn't go back to find Xia Yuantu, but just called Xia Yuantu to ask people to go back first.

Maybe it was because Qiao Nanqi's tone couldn't hide his depression, Xia Yuantu could hear something bad through the phone.

Xia Yuantu asked him, "Zhao Rong didn't promise you to get back together?"

"……Um."

More than just not agreeing.

Zhao Rong didn't even believe that Qiao Nanqi liked him.

"Then what are you going to do next? To be honest, I just found out for the first time that Zhao Rong still has such a side - I always thought he was easy to bully."

"...Is there anything else?"

Xia Yuantu knew from his tone that he didn't want to say more, so he said, "I was at the next table just now and saw you drank a lot. You drank a lot more than we did that night, are you okay? Why don't you call Xiao Wu to take care of you tonight .”

"No, leave me alone."

"Are you looking for Xingping?"

"No, hang up."

Qiao Nanqi put down his phone.

He was sitting on the back seat, the city night scene outside the car windows on both sides quickly slid back, the car window near him was opened a crack, the cold wind was pouring in, blowing the ends of his hair, making him feel drunk Scattered a little.

He lowered his eyes, looked at the tissues and stomach medicine that Zhao Rong gave him in his hand, and couldn't bear to put them down.

Even if it's just something to make amends for other people.

He thought of how Zhao Rong looked when he raised his voice to pay the bill in the bar just now.

He seemed to have never seen Zhao Rong like this.

There was also that young man who looked like he wanted to get close to Zhao Rong.Zhao Rong did not refuse.

When Zhao Rong answered the phone before, he was still with a woman he didn't know at all.

He didn't realize until now that Zhao Rong seemed to have a lot of things that he didn't know.

All these years... What did he miss?

Qiao Nanqi looked down, gently rubbing the lid of the stomach medicine with his fingertips.

His movements suddenly stopped.

His emotions finally got out of the bitterness. At this moment, his rationality came back a little bit. Looking at the medicine, he suddenly noticed something wrong.

The outermost side of the stomach medicine is not wrapped in a brand new plastic package, it doesn't look like it was newly bought.There is a circle of instructions on the body of the can, and the edge is slightly raised, and I don't know if it has been touched many times by fingers.

He unscrewed the lid, and as expected, he saw that the seal of the inner layer of packaging was also torn off, and there were only a few grains left inside.

Tissues are readily available on the table, or finding a brand new pack from the wait staff is a breeze.

But this stomach medicine seemed to have been used by someone, it was with him, and it happened to be handed to him.
