People can lie, they can force a smile, but the eyes are the most real, and they can't deceive people.

Gao Chi didn't stay at Zhao Siqi's home any longer because he needed a separate space to think about whether he was being self-indulgent or delusional just now.

Standing on the balcony, with the cool night breeze blowing, Gao Chi tried his best to recall Zhao Siqi's every word, deed and every action in the past.

The more memories, the heavier a heart becomes.

The craving for cigarettes suddenly came up.

Gao Chi leaned against the balcony door and smoked half a pack of cigarettes without knowing it. He smoked until ten o'clock in the evening before he stubbed out the last cigarette butt, planning to take a bath to calm down.

Fortunately, today's water heater has another problem.Gao Chi waited for 10 minutes without waiting for hot water. He threw the shower, cursed a curse word (Chinese and English mixed), and then walked out of the bathroom with an annoyed face, lying on the sofa, hesitating whether to go Zhao Siqi's house washes.

After hesitating for a few minutes, he finally rang the doorbell of Zhao Siqi's house.

Surprisingly, there was no response.

It's so late, Zhao Siqi is not at home.Realizing this, Gao Chi became even more irritable. He paced back and forth in the corridor. After 5 minutes, a place appeared in his mind, and he quickly pressed the elevator to go downstairs without hesitation.

Walking out of the gate of the building and passing through the quiet garden, Gao Chi saw a person on a piece of green grass as expected.

Tonight the sky was covered with thick clouds, the stars were all covered, and the night was very dark, but the face of the man on the grass was clearly visible.

Zhao Siqi put one hand around her knees, and with the other hand, she was stroking the heads of several stray cats.The moonlight passed through the treetops, fell on the ground, and fell on Zhao Siqi's eyes, reflecting bits of broken light.But his eyes were empty, unfocused, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Zhao Siqi." Gao Chi called him in a deep voice.

Zhao Siqi turned her head dully, and met Gao Chi's gaze.

The moment the four eyes met, his expression was still dull, and there was no special reaction.

There were several stray cats around Zhao Siqi on the lawn, looking at Gao Chi vigilantly, their tails were all raised.

Gao Chi didn't want to go over, he waved to Zhao Siqi: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Zhao Siqi didn't seem to understand, he lowered his head and continued to smooth the kitten beside him.The kitten felt very comfortable under his touch, its raised tail drooped down again, making a few lazy meows.

Gao Chi took a deep breath, strode over, and dragged Zhao Siqi out of the garden.

Zhao Siqi stood up obediently, and followed Gao Chi back downstairs, without speaking or struggling, but from time to time, she would look behind her and look at the two figures next to each other on the ground, feeling like a couple walking hand in hand.

Back in the elevator, there was no ventilation in the airtight space, Gao Chi smelled a faint smell of alcohol on Zhao Siqi's body.

"Did you go out to drink?" Gao Chi stared at him seriously, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

Zhao Siqi nodded.

"Go alone?" Gao Chi asked again.

Zhao Siqi nodded again.

Gao Chi frowned, unable to express what was in his heart. It seemed that the question that had troubled him all night already had an answer at this moment.

With a ding-dong sound, the elevator door opened.

Gao Chi sighed, clasped Zhao Siqi's wrist, led him out of the elevator, and asked as he walked, "Where did you drink? Is there too many people? Is it chaotic?"

"exist……"

Zhao Siqi seemed to be in distress, and it took a few seconds before she said, "Outside the community, turn right when you go out, cross the road, and go straight... There are not many people and it's not chaotic. There are singers singing inside, I think it sounds good."

Gao Chi glanced at him, he was almost certainly drunk.

He took out a bunch of keys from Zhao Siqi's pocket, opened the door of his house, and helped him into the bedroom.

"Do you want to take a shower now?" Gao Chi asked.

Zhao Siqi nodded, but did not move.

Gao Chi decided to help people to the end.He opened the closet door, took out a set of pajamas, stuffed it into Zhao Siqi's hands, then went to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and pulled Zhao Siqi in when the water became hot.

"Can you wash it yourself?" Gao Chi asked.

It was useless to ask, even if Zhao Siqi nodded, Gao Chi was not at ease.After closing the bathroom door, he did not leave immediately, but sat on the sofa in the living room, paying attention to the movement in the bathroom.

The sound of water splashed and stopped after 10 minutes.

Gao Chi looked at the bathroom door, which hadn't been opened for a long time. He was puzzled, and knocked on the door twice.

With a click, the door opened.Zhao Siqi's wet face appeared in the crack of the door, dazzlingly white.He opened a pair of misty eyes, looked at Gao Chi with some grievances, and said, "You didn't bring me underwear."

Gao Chi's throat was inexplicably itchy. He coughed, looked away, and said, "I'll get it for you now."

Going back to the bedroom, he opened the drawer, and Gao Chi took a pair of plain white underwear from it.

When handing it to Zhao Siqi, Gao Chi noticed that his face seemed rosier than before, like a slightly ripe apple.

As soon as he took the underwear, he closed the door without even saying "thank you", as if belatedly ashamed.

Gao Chi went back to his home and took a change of clothes.When he came back again, Zhao Siqi was sitting by the bed wiping his hair, and when he learned that Gao Chi was going to take a bath here, he nodded in agreement.

He was smiling, and he didn't know whether he was happy to see Gao Chi or because he spent longer with Gao Chi.

He followed Gao Chi, stood by the bathroom door, and said to Gao Chi, "Turn the switch to the left for hot water, and to the right for cold water."

Gao Chi looked back at him: "I know. It's not the first time I wash at your place."

Zhao Siqi looked blank: "Really, why don't I remember."

Gao Chi didn't bother to explain to the drunk man, he took off his shirt, saw that Zhao Siqi was still standing there, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and gave Zhao Siqi a naughty and naughty smile: "Still leaving? Stay here and want to watch me take a bath? "

Zhao Siqi blushed immediately, he slammed the bathroom door shut, and after a few seconds, opened it hesitantly, without daring to look in, he only let in his voice: "There are shampoo, body wash, facial cleanser on the shelf. Milk, you can use it directly.”

Gao Chi replied, "Understood."

Zhao Siqi added: "The shower gel smells like freesia, it smells really good."

Gao Chi's temples began to twitch, he opened the bathroom door, and his naked upper body was displayed in front of Zhao Siqi, so shocked that Zhao Siqi immediately covered his eyes.

Gao Chi was amused: "Go back quickly, ancestor. I'm not blind, I can read the words on it."

Zhao Siqi said "oh", and sat back on the bed.A pair of beautiful long and narrow eyes were filled with mist, staring at the direction of the bathroom without blinking, and did not look away for a long time.

When Gao Chi came out of the shower, Zhao Siqi was still sitting by the bed. He pointed to Gao Chi's cell phone that had been left on the table, and said, "Someone called you just now."

Gao Chi picked up the phone, the missed call showed Bai Jiaxi's name, he called back, and the other party answered quickly.

"Gao Chi, are you free tonight?" Bai Jiaqian asked.

"what happened?"

Bai Jiaxi smiled and said, "I want to ask you out for a drink."

Gao Chi glanced at Zhao Siqi subconsciously, and said, "It's too late now."

"How late is eleven o'clock?"

"At least not too early."

"Don't you have to drink at this point, can someone come out at seven or eight o'clock to get drunk?"

Gao Chi looked at the drunk man on the bed, thinking that there really was a fool who would do this.

"I have to go to work tomorrow, so let's make an appointment another day." Gao Chi said.

"Another day." Bai Jiaqian chuckled, and said after a while, "Okay, we'll talk about it when you're free."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Chi scratched his wet hair, looked at Zhao Siqi, "Lend me your hair dryer—"

The rest of the words stuck in his throat, suddenly unable to speak.

Zhao Siqi was looking at Gao Chi, looking at him with sad, painful and heartbroken eyes.After being watched by him for a long time, Gao Chi felt a little guilty and flustered.

He scratched his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Siqi lowered her eyes, turned her back to Gao Chi, as if she didn't want to see him.

"You go back, I'm going to sleep." He said.

It was the first time that Gao Chi was issued such a direct order to expel a guest, and he froze for a while.

But he didn't leave, instead he walked to the bed, grabbed Zhao Siqi's shoulders, and made him face himself, "Don't sleep yet, I have something to ask you."

Avoiding Gao Chi's hand, Zhao Siqi got into the quilt, pulled the quilt up to neck height, and covered her face with a pillow towel.

The whole body was covered by the cloth, as if Gao Chi couldn't see him like this.

Gao Chi didn't know what the drunk was thinking, he raised his hand, and lifted the pillow covering Zhao Siqi's face.

After bathing for so long, Zhao Siqi's hair is already dry, but the ends of her eyes and eyelashes are moist, which is very obvious under the light of the incandescent lamp above her head.

Gao Chi asked: "Why go out to drink tonight?"

Zhao Siqi closed her eyes tightly and said nothing.

Gao Chi asked again: "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Zhao Siqi's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still didn't speak.

Gao Chi moved closer and stared at Zhao Siqi's face at close range, not missing the slightest change in his expression.As if it wasn't close enough, he simply sat on the floor next to the bed, resting his chin on the bed, and focused on Zhao Siqi's face pretending to be asleep.

Even with his eyes closed, Zhao Siqi could still feel Gao Chi's strong and straightforward gaze.

He couldn't pretend anymore, kicked off the quilt in despair, showed his willful and childish side rarely, and followed Gao Chi's gaze.

Gao Chi let out a low laugh, and with a flick of his long arm, he retrieved the quilt that he had kicked off the bed, and covered him again.

The moment he leaned over to cover the quilt, the distance between him and Zhao Siqi was less than ten centimeters.Gao Chi smelled a very fresh floral and fruity fragrance from Zhao Siqi's body, probably the fragrance of freesia, mixed with a little laundry detergent on pajamas, the two mixed together smell very good.

Gao Chi sat back on the floor, supported his head, and asked in a slow tone: "Zhao Siqi, are you treating me..."

Before she finished speaking, a line of tears slipped from the corner of Zhao Siqi's eyes without warning and silently, and seeped into the pillow.

Gao Chi was stunned: "Why are you crying?"

Zhao Siqi didn't open his eyes, and didn't make a sound, he was crying quietly, Gao Chi immediately took out a few tissues to wipe the tears on his face.But this line of tears flowed continuously like a dike, and couldn't stop for a while.

"It used to be Yu Ran, and now there is another Bai... Bai, who else will be..."

Zhao Siqi's voice was trembling, as weak as a gnat, and he said these words intermittently with a crying voice.If Gao Chi hadn't happened to get close, he would have missed it.

The evening wind blew in along the crack of the window, blowing up the heavy curtains and making a dull sound.

Gao Chi stopped and looked at Zhao Siqi with a complicated expression.

After a long time, until the tears on the side of Zhao Siqi's face dried up, Gao Chi said: "Zhao Siqi, you like me."

However, the person on the bed was tired from crying, and had already fallen asleep drowsily, and did not hear his words.
