waiting for dawn

It was a happy ending, but Qin Liming didn't feel happy. He poured another glass of wine for Fan Tao, "That...Mr. Fan, this matter is settled. I, I'll toast you again."

Fan Tao pressed Qin Liming's hand, "I've had enough, let's stop drinking."

Qin Liming took a step back, "Then I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

As soon as the wine glass was raised to his mouth, it was pressed down again. The wine was full and spilled easily, part of it poured into his neck, and part of it splashed onto the scarf.

"I'm sorry..." Fan Tao hurriedly helped to wipe, "Hurry up and take off the scarf."

Qin Liming picked half of it, suddenly realized, and hurriedly turned back, raised his eyes for a while, and saw Fan Tao's slightly surprised eyes.

Qin Liming forced another smile, "Well, I'm going to the bathroom."

The neck was sticky and greasy, which was uncomfortable. Qin Liming washed it with water first, then turned the scarf upside down and put it on carefully, making sure everything was safe before returning to the wine table.

After that, things went smoothly, and it was much easier to talk about the contract than to negotiate the price. It's just that I really didn't drink less wine. Fan Tao didn't drink, and Mr. Wu also drank. It may not be certain that the fire will be retreated.

During the period, Zhang Tuming also called him. Qin Liming originally planned to call him back after the end, but Zhang Tuming had a violent temper, so he kept hitting him again and again.

In desperation, he had no choice but to leave the table again and go outside to answer the call.

"Where are you?"

After talking about going home... Qin Liming muttered in his heart, he faltered and said, "Yes, I'm eating."

"you've been drinking?"

Qin Liming bit his lower lip and did not answer.

"Why didn't you answer my call?"

Qin Liming's spirits became stronger, and he blurted out what he usually dare not say, "Why do I have to answer your phone..."

"Qin Liming?"

Qin Liming's heart skipped a beat when he heard the slightly rising ending, and Zhang Tuming said again, "Send me your location."

Not in the same city, why do you need a location? Qin Liming's courage gradually grew, and he suddenly didn't want to obey Zhang Tuming's advice in everything, so he said, "No..."

Before he could say anything, the phone was hung up.

Qin Liming held the phone in a daze for a while, couldn't help but tap the screen with his finger, and said softly, "Do I owe you?"

After Qin Liming takes his seat again, the show will basically be over.

The manager asked him to send the two clients back to their residences safely.

In fact, Mr. Wu didn't need to take him off, he lived across the road, and only Fan Tao, who also didn't drive, was left. Qin Liming called a taxi for him.

"Let's go together." Fan Tao said before getting into the car.

"I can just go back by myself..."

"By the way." Fan Tao looked Qin Liming up and down, "Xiao Qin, I just finished eating..."

Qin Liming hesitated for a moment, but got into the car anyway.

The back seat of the taxi is not spacious, Fan Tao only reported the address of Qin Liming's home to the taxi driver, Qin Liming was a little uneasy, "Teacher Fan, let's go to your home first."

"My house is far away."

"That……"

"Xiao Qin." Fan Tao smiled, "You don't seem to have been to my house once."

"I don't really like being guests..."

"We had a good relationship back then."

Qin Liming moved slightly to one side, and Fan Tao followed him calmly, "You don't seem to have changed much."

Qin Liming sat with his head bowed and didn't answer the conversation. His slender eyelashes kept shaking. Fan Tao cleared his throat, "We've known each other for seven years."

"Seems to be……"

"Actually, I could have been transferred the year you came to Chenfeng High School." Fan Tao said in a calm voice, "But I changed my mind. Do you know why?"

Qin Liming's breathing became short of breath, "I don't know."

"Because of you." Fan Tao sighed softly, "I liked you very much the first time I saw you. I thought you were very cute, beautiful and cute, soft and waxy, and you had dimples when you smiled. It’s going to melt people’s hearts.”

"Teacher Fan, you drank too much!"

"No, this little wine is nothing to me. Xiao Qin, although I like you, I never thought of disturbing you at the time. I know you have a family, and I just want to stay by your side all the time , just be your friend."

"do not talk."

"I want to talk." Fan Tao stared at Qin Liming closely, "Although I go to bars occasionally, my private life has always been very clean. I am a person who would rather be absent than indiscriminate. If I am not with the person I like, I would rather be single all the time. .”

"It has nothing to do with me..."

"I know." Fan Tao said slowly, "If Zhang Tuming didn't show up, I might never bother you too much..."

It was Zhang Tuming again, and Qin Liming's temples were tingling. Tuming naturally had something wrong with him, but it was obviously not wise to blame Zhang Tuming for his own faults.

Qin Liming only hoped to get home as soon as possible, he would rather not have the blessing of being confessed.

His silence did not earn Fan Tao's understanding. Fan Tao continued: "Many of Zhang Tuming's behaviors have crossed the line. It would be fine if he was really a child, but he was almost 20 years old at that time." , and it’s clear we’re the same kind.”

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I'm not as thick-skinned as him, and I won't touch you unscrupulously, but what have I got in exchange? You have always been estranged and polite to me, but you have become more and more indulgent towards Zhang Tuming. That day in the grove , I’ve seen it all, what’s going on with you guys, have you ever slept? Don’t be angry, you guys are so easy to make people think wrong.”

Qin Liming had already clasped the handle, he decided that if Fan Tao continued talking, he would get off at the next intersection.

Fan Tao obviously found out, and he tried to ease the atmosphere, "I just want you to know my mental journey, and the ending in the end is definitely not what I expected, I was just lost in my mind for a while."

No matter what Fan Tao said, if it had nothing to do with work, Qin Liming would have no intention of talking to him, so he finally got to the gate of the community, and Fan Tao got out of the car.

Qin Liming neither swears nor beats others, he can only silently consider the worst outcome, and if it doesn't work, he will change jobs or move.

Because of drinking, getting out of the car is also top-heavy. Fan Tao wants to help him, but Qin Liming can't avoid it. If begging for mercy is useful, he almost wants to kneel down and kowtow to Fan Tao. , but don't mention it again.

Fan Tao, who got out of the car, was obviously much more courageous. He held Qin Liming's elbow and did not intend to let go, "Xiao Qin." Like a curse, "What's the matter with your neck?"
