Ve

us is a well-known Qing bar in Beijing.

Unlike other bars, there are no weird and dazzling lights, no loud music, and no crowds twirling wildly to the beat on the dance floor.

On weekend nights, strangers sat in twos and threes at the bar.

Tonight the singer's voice was a little hoarse, and his infectious vocals slowly filled the air.

The bartender gently swayed his body under the dim light, mixing a glass of cocktail with great elegance.

Finally, he pinned a bright red plump cherry on the wine glass.

I saw the bartender walking leisurely towards a certain corner of the bar with the glass of wine in hand.

Although the bartender's actions were not high-profile, he still attracted the attention of many people in the bar.

Because the bartender went straight to a teenager sitting alone in a corner.

The boy rested his chin with one hand, his thick eyelashes drooped, as if he was in a daze.

The heating in the bar was very strong, he had already taken off his heavy coat, revealing a loose milky white sweater underneath.

The cleanliness of the boy's body was a bit out of tune with this kind of place.

From the moment he stepped into the bar, he attracted almost everyone's attention.

But the young man didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he didn't care about the veiled gazes from different directions.

He always glanced at the mobile phone on the table intentionally or unintentionally.

The bartender bent down and gently placed the carefully prepared glass of wine in front of the boy.

The boy finally raised his head.

The moment he raised his head, gasping sounds came from other corners of the bar in unison.

The bartender was also taken aback for a moment, and after quickly recovering, he couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart——

I have worked in the bar for so long and seen all kinds of beauties. I thought I was well-informed, but I didn't expect to be shocked by the young man's appearance for a moment.

The boy tilted his head in doubt, as if he was asking the bartender why he came.

The bartender smiled slightly and said, "This is [Heartbeat] that a gentleman ordered for you."

Xia Xingqiao: "...Your heart beating?"

"He wishes you a great evening here."

Xia Xingqiao smiled and thanked the bartender.

After the bartender left, the people around saw that Xia Xingqiao was not so unapproachable, so they all started to move around.

Finally someone couldn't hold back anymore and came forward to strike up a conversation with Xia Xingqiao.

I saw a woman with delicate smoky makeup and wavy long curly hair walking over with a wine glass and sitting directly in front of Xia Xingqiao.

The woman raised her hand and combed her hair charmingly, winking at Xia Xingqiao:

"Little handsome guy, why are you sitting here by yourself? Do you want to have a drink over there?"

Xia Xingqiao: "?"

He looked towards what the woman said, and saw four or five girls sitting in the booth not far away, waving at Xia Xingqiao all the time.

Xia Xingqiao: "..."

Xia Xingqiao had never been approached with such enthusiasm before, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were a little averted.

But he still said very politely that he was waiting for someone, and that he was not single.

Xia Xingqiao looked a little shy, and the woman almost couldn't help screaming in her heart - this is too cute.

It's too bad not to be single.

She had no choice but to hold the wine glass and regretfully returned to her sister.

The corner became quiet again, Xia Xingqiao looked at the glass of wine in front of him called Pounding Heartbeat.

The color of the wine is a gradient pink, which looks very girlish, and it really has the meaning of "heartbeat" in it.

But Xia Xingqiao didn't take a sip.

He fiddled with the cherry at the top of the glass with his fingertips.

The cherries should be wine-stained, and they look crystal clear under the ambiguous light, which is very beautiful.

Xia Xingqiao glanced at the time on the phone again, the person he was waiting for hadn't arrived yet.

When he turned his gaze to the bar door again, Xia Xingqiao finally saw a familiar figure.

Yang Le stood at the place where he just entered, looking around.

As soon as he saw Xia Xingqiao, Yang Le waved to him, and walked over quickly with Li Manman smiling.

Yang Le's school started early in the winter vacation, and as soon as he and Li Manman came back to Beijing, they made an appointment with Xia Xingqiao in this Qingba.

"Why did you make an appointment here?" Xia Xingqiao had never been to a bar before, and she still felt a little uncomfortable sitting here by herself.

"You are 19 years old, not 9 years old, what's wrong with coming to such an adult place?" Yang Le teased Xia Xingqiao with a smile.

Xia Xingqiao: "...That's exactly what you said."

Although they haven't seen Yang Le for a few months, they didn't feel any connection with each other, after all, they have been in touch online.

"By the way, what happened to the final homework you mentioned earlier?" Yang Le suddenly asked, "Is it the senior of your school?"

Xia Xingqiao had mentioned these recent things to Yang Le and the others, but the gossiping Yang Le was obviously not satisfied with only eating melons on WeChat.

He looked at Xia Xingqiao with bright eyes, with four large characters written all over his face - "Let's talk".

Xia Xingqiao sighed, and said, "It's a second-year senior in our school."

"Before he had an accident while doing the experiment, which caused the left half of his body to be injured, and he lay in the hospital for more than half a month."

"Hey, it's terrible!" Riemann couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Xia Xingqiao saw that the gossip expression on her face was exactly the same as that of Yang Le: "..."

He coughed and went on:

"As a result, this senior missed the defense of the promising national scholarship, and it was a coincidence that the special prize was finally won by a classmate with whom he had a good relationship."

Yang Le and Riemann: "Hiss—"

"He always felt that this student had tampered with his instrument, which caused the accident in the previous experiment."

Speaking of this matter, Xia Xingqiao was still a little embarrassed.

That senior is very talented in scientific research, and should have an infinitely bright future, but because of an accident in an experiment...

"Then he shouldn't attack you, you are the most innocent." Yang Le finally concluded.

"That's right!" Li Manman and Yang Le sang together, almost making Xia Xingqiao laugh.

Yang Le asked again: "Where's your roommate who made it up to himself?"

"You mean Shen Qingfan?" Xia Xingqiao couldn't help but look at the mobile phone that was put aside, "He has dropped out of school now, and was just picked up by his parents a while ago."

"It deserves it!" Yang Le couldn't help cursing.

Xia Xingqiao smiled.

Seeing Yang Le refreshed, he almost shouted "I'm comfortable, I'm comfortable".

Xia Xingqiao suddenly thought of another treasure in the dormitory, he smiled and said to Yang Le:

"Speaking of roommates, I'll introduce you to another roommate of mine another day. You two must hit it off very well."

Yang Le looked at Xia Xingqiao, with a sour tone: "Oh, the newcomer laughs, the old one cries. You have a new friend by your side, so am I still your best friend?"

Xia Xingqiao looked at Yang Le's acting like this: "..."

"You???????? Yes, of course you are." Xia Xingqiao's tone sounded like a perfunctory scumbag.

Yang Le was just pretending to be pretentious at first, but after hearing what Xia Xingqiao said, his mood quickly rose again, "Okay! Call your roommate to come out for dinner some other day!"

Best friends always have a lot to say when they finally meet, and the time flies by.

Of course, Yang Le and Riemann were talking more, and they were talking to Xia Xingqiao about interesting things in school.

Xia Xingqiao was listening carefully.

But his eyes always glanced towards the phone inadvertently.

Yang Le picked up the wine glass and finally noticed Xia Xingqiao's phone.

"Qiao Qiao, what are you looking at?" Yang Le asked curiously.

Xia Xingqiao shook her head.

"Aren't you waiting for your call? Will he pick you up later?"

It's getting late now, Riemann blinked at Xia Xingqiao and guessed.

Xia Xingqiao: "...No, he doesn't know I'm here tonight."

Yang Le was almost choked, he put the wine glass back on the table, and said in surprise: "No way, didn't you tell him everything?"

Xia Xingqiao had an unnatural expression on his face, he subconsciously asked: "Yes, yes?"

There is nothing to say...

Yang Le and Riemann nodded together: "Absolutely."

The two of them looked at each other, and quickly reached a consensus in each other's eyes that "something is wrong, something is wrong with Xia Xingqiao tonight".

"...Are you and your boyfriend quarreling?" Li Manman's thoughts were more delicate than Yang Le's, she asked in a low voice.

Xia Xingqiao touched the tip of her nose, "No."

"You two broke up???" Yang Le's eyes widened, and then he quickly poohed a few times, "Pooh! How is it possible!"

Xia Xingqiao: "...I just said to calm down for each other."

Yang Le: Oh, why doesn't it feel so good.

He saw that Xia Xingqiao's mood suddenly became a little depressed, and he was trying to think of something to comfort Xia Xingqiao.

Then Xia Xingqiao seemed to have suddenly figured it out again, and said with some relief: "Perhaps, we really need to separate for a while."

Yang Le: "???"

The strange thing is that Xia Xingqiao didn't have a sad expression when he said this, but was very calm, just staring at his mobile phone.

Just like Xia Xingqiao was not talking to Yang Le and the others, but to the person on the phone.

Xia Xingqiao's appearance startled Yang Le and Li Manman on the opposite side.

"You, are you serious?" Yang Le asked doubtfully.

Xia Xingqiao smiled, "It's not true, I was just joking."

"..." Yang Le wanted to say something, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a tall man walking towards them.

After the man approached, Yang Le and Li Manman saw his face clearly, and they were completely stunned.

Isn't this Xia Xingqiao's boyfriend?

After Rong Tingye walked over, he naturally took Xia Xingqiao's hand into his palm.

This action carries the intimacy between the couple, no matter who sees it, they will not mistake their relationship.

Xia Xingqiao suddenly smiled apologetically at Yang Le and Li Manman, and said:

"Lele, Manman, I'll go back tonight first. I'm sorry, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"It's okay, we're going to go too."

I saw Xia Xingqiao got up, and was about to reach for the coat that was put aside, but Rong Tingye picked it up first.

Rong Tingye helped Xia Xingqiao put on his coat carefully, and tied his scarf as if he was afraid that he would be cold.

"Let's go, Qiao Qiao." Rong Tingye said in a deep voice.

He nodded to Yang Le and the two, then turned around and left together with Xia Xingqiao.

After Xia Xingqiao and the others left, Yang Le and Li Manman couldn't help but look at each other.

...Is this what he said about breaking up?This stinky couple is cheating ghosts!

Rong Tingye didn't let go of Xia Xingqiao's hand until he went back.

Xia Xingqiao even sat there with her head bowed and said nothing.

Rong Tingye sighed, and he squatted down slightly in front of Xia Xingqiao.

"Qiao Qiao, why did you say that to test me?"

Xia Xingqiao raised his head, Rong Tingye saw Xia Xingqiao's already red eyes.

Rong Tingye's heart suddenly seemed to be pricked with needles.

He couldn't help regretting that he hadn't softened his tone just now.

Xia Xingqiao's eyes were red, not only feeling wronged, but also angry.

He had guessed that something might be wrong with his mobile phone before, so he had the idea of ​​testing it tonight.

Sure enough, Rong Tingye could not only hear what he said through the mobile phone, but also determine his exact location.

Xia Xingqiao's heart was a little complicated, he looked into Rong Tingye's eyes, "...when did it start?"

Rong Tingye's Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't speak.

Looking at Rong Tingye like this, Xia Xingqiao suddenly felt a chill creeping up his back.

At this moment, Rong Tingye stood up and put his hands on Xia Xingqiao's eyes.

Rong Tingye's voice was a little hoarse, "Qiao Qiao, don't look at me like that, okay?"

Xia Xingqiao's eyelashes trembled a few times in the palm of his hand, as if covering a few butterflies that were about to fly.

However, Xia Xingqiao slowly leaned against Rong Tingye's body as if her strength had been taken away suddenly.

"Why?" Xia Xingqiao asked with a trembling voice.

......Why.

Xia Xingqiao's eyes were still pitch black, so she couldn't see Rong Tingye's expression at this time.

Completely giving up covering up, Rong Tingye's eyes were filled with shocking paranoia.

Because he wanted to know Xia Xingqiao's every move, who he met, what he said, and where he went every day.

Rong Tingye knew that this kind of behavior was very despicable, but it seemed that only in this way could he completely keep Xia Xingqiao by his side.

Yes, keep Xia Xingqiao by his side.

Every day and night when Xia Xingqiao was not around, Rong Tingye would feel a strong palpitation after waking up.

The pain was so painful that Rong Tingye couldn't breathe.

He even had the illusion that he had lost Xia Xingqiao more than once.

This time, Rong Tingye was too impatient and wanted to show Xia Xingqiao all his despicableness.

Rong Tingye was silent.

Xia Xingqiao couldn't wait for his answer, and her heart sank gradually.

He gritted his teeth and pushed Rong Tingye away as if with all his strength.

Rong Tingye didn't notice for a while, but was pushed back half a step by Xia Xingqiao.

"Doctor Rong, I don't like you treating me like this."

As she spoke, tears rolled down Xia Xingqiao's eyes.

Rong Tingye raised his hand subconsciously to pick it up, and the tears happened to fall on the palm of his hand, as if with a temperature that could burn people.

Rong Tingye's heart was burned by this tear.

"Jojo..."

Third Master Rong, who had always been calm and stomped his feet, would shake the city several times, suddenly became at a loss in front of Xia Xingqiao.

Rong Tingye raised his hand to support Xia Xingqiao's face, and coaxed distressedly: "It's my fault, don't cry, baby."

But the gentler his tone, the more it looked like some kind of catalyst, which made Xia Xingqiao cry out suddenly.

"Everything, it's all your fault..." Xia Xingqiao sobbed, "You are violating, violating my right to privacy..."

Xia Xingqiao had never cried like this before except on the bed.

Rong Tingye really panicked now.

He quickly hugged Xia Xingqiao into his arms, and no matter what Xia Xingqiao said, he just continued to speak according to his intention.

"Yes, it's all my fault."

"You disrespect me like this, I, I don't like..."

The more Xia Xingqiao talked, the more wronged and sad she became.

He is not an item, but an independent person. How could Dr. Rong treat him like this.

Suddenly angry, Xia Xingqiao couldn't choose what to say: "I want to break up with you... eh!"

Rong Tingye lifted Xia Xingqiao's chin, and the unfinished words disappeared between his lips and tongue.

"Um!"

Xia Xingqiao didn't expect Rong Tingye to kiss her like this.

He froze for a moment, until his teeth were pried open by Rong Tingye, and finally began to struggle.

But the more Xia Xingqiao wanted to break free, the more Rong Tingye hugged him tighter and kissed him deeper.

His hands were like iron tongs tightly gripping Xia Xingqiao's lower back, preventing Xia Xingqiao from retreating.

At first Xia Xingqiao had the strength to struggle a few times, but as the air in his mouth was taken away by Rong Tingye, Xia Xingqiao struggled less.

He couldn't help grunting, and his body softened.

When Rong Tingye finally let Xia Xingqiao go, Rong Tingye pressed his hands and pressed him on the bed.

The corners of Xia Xingqiao's eyes were flushed, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were not because of the previous grievances, or the fierce kiss just now.

He turned his face away, as if he didn't want to see Rong Tingye.

But Xia Xingqiao's chin was pinched by Rong Tingye again, and he was forced to straighten his face.

Rong Tingye leaned down and gently kissed away the remaining tears on Xia Xingqiao's face.

"Jojo, don't ever say those two words, okay?"
