Too much

Shen Zeming stared at Qi Jingchen closely, trying to find something, but there was nothing.

Qi Jingchen looked as usual, he took off his glasses, took out the handkerchief he carried with him from his trouser pocket, and began to wipe the lenses slowly.

I don't know if it's hungry, but the kitten's cry became more and more sharp, hoarse as if it was calling for something.Shen Zeming felt inexplicably anxious, he subconsciously grabbed the bright button in his pocket, his voice fluctuated significantly, "Is it?"

Qi Jingchen still didn't speak.

The lens reflects a faint halo in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the spots of light flash and fall into the grass, and disappear without a trace in a few seconds.

After a while, he finally raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Zeming.

Qi Jingchen's eyelids are very thin, and the tails of his eyes are slightly raised towards the temples, forming a long and beautiful arc. When he smiles, he is seductive, and when he is not smiling, he looks like soaked in icy snow.

"Yeah." He raised the corners of his lips, and the ice mixed in the snow melted, "Not married."

The kitten's meowing stopped abruptly, and the mother cat licked the kitten's head soothingly. Shen Zeming heaved a sigh of relief, and heard Qi Jingchen say softly, "I didn't expect Teacher Shen to find out so soon."

The glasses were put on the bridge of the nose, and the thin layer couldn't block the piercing chill in his eyes, but Qi Jingchen still smiled, and said, "It's boring."

Shen Zeming was stunned, his back felt cold, and he rarely felt a trace of fear.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I lied to you?"

He stepped forward step by step, propping his hands on both sides of the wall, trapping Shen Zeming in a narrow corner, "Mr. Shen doesn't want to know?"

The heavy shadow was covered, and the eyes were suddenly dark, and the wall against the back was bitingly cold, Shen Zeming turned his head in a bit of embarrassment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why?"

Qi Jingchen was too tall, and when he was talking close to him, his shoulders bent down. From a distance, it seemed that Shen Zeming was the one who was accommodated.

He laughed lightly, and said in a soft voice, "To disgust you."

"Just like how you hated me back then."

Shen Zeming choked for breath, and his throat began to hurt.At this moment, he seemed to have lost his ability to think, but subconsciously clenched the buttons in his palm.

The shadow disappeared from above his head, Qi Jingchen didn't answer, turned around and smiled at him, there was no other emotion in the smile, it seemed that he just smiled when he wanted to.

In the next second, the small silver ring that was worn on Qi Jingchen's ring finger all the year round was thrown towards him, and when it landed there was a soft sound, it rolled twice and finally stopped at Shen Zeming's feet.

He froze for a moment, then slowly and slowly lowered his head to look at the ring at his feet, wondering if it was an illusion, he saw two familiar letters engraved on the inner wall of the ring - C? M.

At that moment, Shen Zeming raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Qi Jingchen.

"Do you know what it means?" The smile in Qi Jingchen's eyes faded away early, and it was cloudy, as if filled with a storm, "This was originally a birthday present for you back then."

"The grass ring is in a box." He paused for a moment, with rare warmth in his eyes, "I've even thought up the words."

The air froze at this moment, Qi Jingchen didn't continue talking, what happened later made all this unattainable.

In the dark and silent corridor, he once said to Qi Jingchen: "I'm with you, just want to know what a person like you looks like after being teased. Now that I know, there's no need to continue. "

It seemed like a barrier was erected suddenly, and it seemed that all five senses disappeared at this moment.Shen Zeming felt that he was like a driftwood, which could not sink, and would never reach the shore.

Because the person who could pull him ashore has been pushed away forever by him.

He squatted down slowly, tremblingly wanting to touch something that was or would belong to him, but the second he was about to touch it, Qi Jingchen raised his leg and kicked it away.

The ring rolled rapidly, and disappeared in the messy pile of grass in an instant.

Qi Jingchen sneered, "Shen Zeming, why do you bother? We're all adults now, be more respectable."

Maybe he was impatient to wait for a response, maybe he just didn't want to look at Shen Zeming anymore, after Qi Jingchen finished speaking, he turned and left.

The footsteps gradually receded, and the last rays of the setting sun dissipated at this moment. The black and blue sky fell, and Shen Zeming was nestled in the shadows, staring blankly at the direction where the ring disappeared, his eyes sore.

After a long time, he blinked, leaned against the wall and got up, walked to the middle of the weed pile and lowered himself down.

When Shen Zeming returned, there was a lot of wine in the box, the atmosphere was good, everyone was laughing, he sat down quietly, without attracting anyone's attention.

The meal was coming to an end, Qi Jingchen was no longer the focus of the crowd, and his slightly drunken appearance showed a bit of laziness and casualness.

He leaned against the chair expressionlessly, and when Shen Zeming came in, he didn't lift his eyelids.I don't know why, the hotter the surrounding, the colder he is.

Coincidentally, some sharp-eyed teacher noticed that the ring on Qi Jingchen's hand was gone first, and said it out loud as if joking, and everyone's attention returned to Qi Jingchen again.

He moved his fingers, smiled indifferently and said, "Throw it away."

The teachers were surprised and curious, "You want to throw away the wedding ring?"

Qi Jingchen raised his eyelids casually, Shen Zeming happened to pass by out of the corner of his eye, "I can't help it, the one at home is going to get a divorce."

The person involved didn't care, but the audience looked heavy. For 2 minutes, no one spoke in the box. It was the teacher who was keen on introducing Qi Jingchen's partner to break the deadlock first.

"What are you worried about? Our doctor Qi is in such good condition, what kind of doctor are you looking for but can't find it?"

Someone started it, and the teachers followed the trend, so the topic in the second half became worrying about Dr. Qi's lifelong affairs.

Amidst the commotion, Shen Zeming lowered his head, opened and closed his palms.He held it for too long, the small silver ring that Qi Jingchen threw away and kicked away warmed up, stuck between the palms, as if it was one with him.

Probably today's chef is not in good condition, there are more than half of the dishes left on the dinner table, but not much wine left, red and white are mixed and piled up on the turntable.

Shen Zeming stared at the ring for a while, then his eyes fell on Qi Jingchen unconsciously.Director Liu was introducing his niece to him. Qi Jingchen listened carefully and occasionally responded with a smile.

Finally, under Director Liu's expectant eyes, he agreed: "Okay, let's meet then."

Shen Zeming didn't know when he picked up the wine on the table, and he didn't know when the dinner was over. He only knew that when he received Qi Jingchen's message, he was already lying on the bed at home.

Qi Jingchen sent a ten-second video.At the beginning of the video, it was a straw ring and a lighter.

Then the scene changed, and someone lit the ring.After about three seconds, the fire went out, leaving a pile of ashes on the table where the lighter was placed.

The last scene was Qi Jingchen's smiling face, and he said, "It's gone."

Such a scene was inexplicably familiar, but Shen Zeming couldn't remember anything because his alcohol-filled brain was groggy. He pulled the progress bar to the very beginning and tried to open his eyes wide.

After watching it several times, I finally know the answer.

Qi Jingchen burned the grass ring.It's like when he burned their group photo in front of Qi Jing.

"Qi Jingchen, he's almost an adult, be decent."

"So what if it burns?"

"Of course I want to disgust you."

"Because I hate you."

It turned out that Qi Jingchen was just replicating everything he had done in the past.

With a snap, the tense string in Shen Zeming's heart broke.
