Women's clothing giants are all in love

Qi Lan walked out of the teaching building quickly.

The light rain that had been raining all day had stopped at some point, and the bicycles parked in the awning did not get any rainwater.

Before stepping on the bicycle, Qi Lan tried to call Xie Zhu three times, but no one answered.

He pursed his lips, and sent another WeChat message: "I'm out of class, are you still home?"

As soon as the wechat was sent, someone in the class group at the other end suddenly tweeted him.

It's a classmate he hasn't had much friendship with from the past to the present.

"@兰 There was a female classmate from the next class who asked me for your mobile phone number, I already gave it to her, no thanks bro [grin]"

As soon as this sentence came out, the group started booing.

"Damn it, Peach Blossom!"

"Is that XXX from Class [-]? She's still thinking about Brother Lan [laughing and crying]"

"Is something going to happen to our old relative? [doge]"

"yoyoyoyoyoyo——"

Qi Lan couldn't understand what he saw, and he wasn't in the mood to pay attention at all.

In fact, from joining the WeChat group of this class to now, except for the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he has hardly participated in group chats.

That night, He Jiawei suddenly pulled Xie Zhu into the group. At first, Qi Lan thought it was a mistake, but the person named "Bamboo" even used the same avatar as the Q--Q a few years ago , has not changed.

At that moment, Qi Lan's heart almost stopped beating.

He didn't even think about it, and quickly added friends immediately.

But after passing the friend verification, his brain got stuck there, and his whole body froze.

Because, I don't know how to speak.

In high school, he and Xie Zhu were definitely not strangers.

But the intimacy between the two of them was also maintained very delicately.

Qi Lan has his own group of brothers, Xie Zhu has never stepped into their circle, and even several of his friends may not know that the relationship between him and Xie Zhu is so special in private.

But Xie Zhu is absolutely unique to him.

It felt like he had secretly hidden a treasure in his heart.

He guarded it carefully, and possessed it quietly, because he didn't want others to discover the light of the treasure, so he hid it tightly in his arms.

However, he was too young at that time.

He didn't know how to deal with this relationship, so he also regretted several times later that he didn't contact Xie Zhu more times during the period after the college entrance examination.

So much so that when Xie Zhu suddenly disconnected, he didn't know what happened.

And those six years of blankness also made him hesitate for the first time for a person who never knew what anxiety was.

He began to pretend to greet Xie Zhu calmly.

When he saw the same distant and polite reply from the other side, he felt as if he had been stabbed a little by a needle.

But there is no way—

There is no way to ask many questions like this.

He has always known how sensitive Xie Zhu is.

He can only wait patiently, waiting for the day when their relationship will be closer again.

And at the moment, he can only chat with a group of people absent-mindedly in the group, while looking for the place where he and Xie Zhu can intersect, and racking his brains to capture that they can have another relationship. possible opportunity.

At that time, Qi Lan never thought about why he did this.

He has never had such an attachment to anyone.

But now, he had to admit a fact.

——He just missed Xie Zhu for six whole years.

……

At this moment, Qi Lan turned to Xie Zhu's chat box again.

There was still no response to the message he sent, and the top of the chat box did not even display "the other party is typing."

Qi Lan frowned, a little restless.

Tonight he was determined to go to the showdown.

He didn't know whether Xie Zhu had a boyfriend before this, and when he thought about it carefully, he didn't even know whether Xie Zhu had a boyfriend now, but this matter was actually very simple.

If Xie Zhu already has a boyfriend, then he will give up; if Xie Zhu doesn't have a boyfriend, then he will confess.

All in all, he didn't want to waste any more time, and he didn't want to drag out another six years.

But Xie Zhu suddenly lost contact again.

Qi Lan raised her hand irritably and inserted it into her forehead hair.

He stared at the chat box, his eyes darkened.

At this moment, the person in the class group jumped out of Aite and said to him twice: "@兰Why hasn't passed the beauty friend certification yet [grin mouth]"

“@兰Hurry up, the beauty is waiting [grin]”

Qi Lan was already irritable enough, but the successive Aites directly made him angry.

He put down his hand, cut to the class group, and asked back: "I agree with you giving out my mobile phone number?"

The class group who were booing suddenly fell silent.

If it was in high school, Qi Lan might have swearing directly at this time. After graduating from high school, he has cultivated a lot of self-cultivation.

However, even if there are no dirty words, one can feel the anger between the lines of Qi Lan's words.

The man quickly came to his senses and said, "Damn, why are you so angry? Didn't I just treat you like a brother?"

Qi Lan sneered and said, "I know you very well? Who is your brother?"

These two rhetorical questions made the other party dumbfounded instantly.

No matter in the past or now, there are always some people who want to have a relationship with Qi Lan, either because of Qi Lan's family background or because of his interpersonal relationship.

It's okay if it's normal, Qi Lan doesn't bother to talk to him at all, but don't blame him for turning his face if you still bother him at this critical time.

Qi Lan didn't care about the embarrassing atmosphere in the group, and replied coldly: "I've been blocked, and anyone who casually gives out my mobile phone number in the future will be blocked as well."

"Also, I have someone I like."

"Don't blame me for turning against me if you mess up again."

He finally couldn't hold back the curse words.

As soon as his three sentences came out, the group fell silent.

Qi Lan ignored the group, turned back to Xie Zhu for a look, but never replied.

He lowered his eyes and pulled the corner of his lips suddenly.

He wouldn't let another six years drag on between them.

Without hesitation, he stepped on the bicycle and set off directly.

It takes about three to 10 minutes to ride from X University to Xie Zhu's house.

Along the way, Qi Lan had no other extra thoughts in his mind.

In the process of thinking about many questions these days, he has already guessed the answer.

For example, the reason Xie Zhu stayed away from the class back then.

Back then, Qi Lan also heard about the news that a boy in a certain class was exposed as gay, but at that time he was busy with other things in reality and didn't pay much attention to it.

But if Xie Zhu had already realized his sexuality at that time, it would be normal for him to feel empathy and resist the criticism of the gay boy by those slanderous people in the class and even the whole grade.

It's just that Qi Lan was very annoyed that Xie Zhu stayed away from him together.

Does this mean that you don't believe him?

But why can't I believe that he won't look at men because he likes them?

Because of this, they unexpectedly reunited after six full years.

Even after the reunion, Xie Zhu's avoidance of him, there is more or less a reason for this, right?

Qi Lan felt a little sulking when he thought about it several times.

But soon, he figured it out on his own.

As he has always been very clear, Xie Zhu is a very sensitive person.

Qi Lan vaguely remembered that there was a class meeting where the theme was friendship. The class teacher asked everyone to play a few games. After the laughter was over, the class teacher asked everyone to calm down and write a few notes.

If you have something you want to say to a classmate, write it down and put it in a small box on the podium. After the class meeting is over, the class leader will pass each "letter" to the recipient.

This "letter" can be anonymous or named. Qi Lan had received a bunch of anonymous letters in a mess at the beginning, only one of which made him restrain his indecency and read it carefully.

There was only one line on the letter.

"Thank you for appearing in front of me that day and stopping for me."

After class, Qi Lan grabbed Xie Zhu's back collar, robbed him straight to the corner of the stairs, blocked him with a smirk and asked, "You wrote this?"

At that time, Xie Zhu blushed and said no, he didn't.

But Qi Lan could recognize his handwriting.

Qi Lan was a little happy, and also thought it was a little funny, he asked: "Is this something worth your seriousness? How long has it been? Little Zhuzi, your heart is too slender, right?"

At that time, Xie Zhu saw that he couldn't be fooled, so he glared at him angrily: "I'm just 'inner, heart, slender, thin', can't I?!"

Qi Lan choked up at the rhetorical question, feeling a little embarrassed.

But after asking back, Xie Zhu lowered his head again.

He puffed his face for a long time, and said in a low voice: "...I will always remember people who treat me well."

He turned his face away, and said with red ears, "Qi Lan, you are the same."

Qi Lan was startled when he heard Xie Zhu's whispered words at that time, as if his heart was slightly scratched by something.

Tsundere, fragile, stubborn, cute.

This was Qi Lan's first impression of Xie Zhu.

Soft like a sponge, pure like a ball of cotton.

This is a metaphor that Qi Lan didn't think of after she gradually couldn't take her eyes off Xie Zhu.

While she couldn't help approaching that person, Qi Lan also wondered more than once, what kind of parents can give birth to such a cute child, and what kind of parents can raise such a soft-hearted little angel.

Later he met Xie Zhu's parents, they were indeed a very gentle pair of parents, and they also had obvious deep love for Xie Zhu.

At that time, Qi Lan thought in her heart, the little guy grew up purely in this kind of love.

Xie Zhu's purity made him never forget anyone's kindness to him.

So when Qi Lan was picked on by others, fought back and beat him violently, but was reported to criticize him, was approached by his parents, and was feared by his classmates, except for his few close buddies, only Xie Zhu would carefully apply the medicine to him, frowning seriously. Tell him not to be reckless when encountering such things in the future, but to think long-term.

While saying such words that made Qi Lan feel cute, he held his blood-stained hand and showed a distressed expression.

And back then, something must have happened between Xie Zhu and Mr. Zhang. Xie Zhu still visits Mr. Zhang regularly, which must be based on his kindness.

However, Xie Zhu was too pure.

It was so pure that if even a little stain invaded him, it would cause violent fluctuations in his heart.

But at the moment when Qi Lan didn't notice, the turbulence back then had caused a rift in the person he had carefully guarded for three years.

Is it common for ordinary people to criticize special groups?

For ordinary people, of course.

For people who speak critically, if they find it unusual, then they will not criticize others at all.

But for the person being criticized, just a laugh can be a sharp knife.

——Whether it's him, Qi Lan, or anyone else, why do you ask Xie Zhu to be tough in his heart when he encounters that situation?

There is no reason to blame Xie Zhu.

Back then, Qi Lan never expressed to anyone because of his selfish desire to steal treasures. Xie Zhu was special to him, so even Xie Zhu didn't know about it.

If it was "kindness" that he extended a helping hand to Xie Zhu back then, then Xie Zhu's care, care and favor for him in those years later had already returned that "kindness" a hundredfold.

Apart from that, there is nothing else between them.

So, why did he blame Xie Zhu for leaving without saying goodbye?

Even, he could almost imagine——

Perhaps it was because he was also special to Xie Zhu that Xie Zhu was more afraid of getting embarrassing feedback from him than anyone else.

Qi Lan stopped outside the door of that old apartment building.

He quickly parked the car, ran to the door panting, and pressed the doorbell of 302.

—but he already knew it all by now.

He has understood.

After six years, this time they should be able to tell each other what's in their hearts, right?

The cheerful music doorbell rang, and Qi Lan's heart beat fast. He tried to calm his breathing, waiting, waiting.

However, after half a minute passed, no one responded.

The doorbell automatically silences.

Qi Lan's Adam's apple rolled down, he stared at the electronic doorbell, clenched his hands tightly, and then loosened them again.

He calmed himself down.

——He didn't know what stopped Xie Zhu this time.

But even if the confession fails, he can still accompany him like Xie Zhu's parents and family, family or friends, as long as Xie Zhu is willing to accept, he can give it.

As long as the time is long enough, he believes that no matter how many cracks there are in Xie Zhu's heart, they can be healed eventually.

Qi Lan took a deep breath and raised her hand again.

In the next second, the residents on the first floor came out and opened the door of the unit with a click.

Seeing Qi Lan, the aunt was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Oh, it's you again."

Qi Lan was startled, and quickly said, "Thank you, Auntie."

The aunt waved her hand, came out with a garbage bag, and said amusedly: "Which family are you looking for, why have you come here four times in the past few years, and I saw you locked out the door three times? "

Qi Lan opened the door and walked in, nodded and said, "...I'm looking for 302."

"302?" Auntie was taken aback.

Then she covered her lips and said in a low voice: "Oh, no wonder, you came here once three years ago. If you said you came to look for 302, I would have known."

"At that time, the child in that family was busy with his parents' funeral and was not at home, so you must not find anyone."

Qi Lan was about to climb the stairs, his mind was full of thoughts about what to say when he saw Xie Zhu later, if Xie Zhu's parents were there, he had to bear with it, and after bringing Xie Zhu out——

As a result, when he heard this sentence, his footsteps stopped abruptly.

The blood all over his body suddenly went cold.

He turned his head abruptly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "...what?"

"You still don't know?" the aunt was surprised, "The child's parents have been dead for three years, and he has been living at home alone since the death. Hey, it seems that there are no relatives to go around, and few friends. indivual……"

The aunt shook her head: "Just such a person, it's quite pitiful."

Qi Lan froze in place.

His mind was buzzing, as if he couldn't hear anything.

Xie Zhu didn't know how many degrees he had burned.

When he was in a daze, he always felt as if he heard the doorbell coming from the downstairs of the unit, but when he listened carefully, there was no sound at all.

Xie Zhu wanted to get up.

But just sitting up a little, he felt dizzy for a while.

He thought again, forget it, just lie down like this, is it okay to lie down in the head office?

However, the severe pain in the head, the beating heart, the heat constantly bubbling out of his body, and the turmoil in his stomach told him that if he kept lying like this, something would happen to him.

Xie Zhu slowed down for a long time, then went to touch the phone in a daze, took a long time to touch it, and held it in front of his eyes for a look.

It turned out to be 04:30 in the afternoon.

There were three missed calls from Qi Lan and two messages from him.

One was from last night, Qi Lan asked him what he wanted to eat today.

One was from half an hour ago, and Qi Lan asked him if he was still at home.

Xie Zhu remembered the agreement between the two today, pursed his lips, unlocked it, and opened WeChat.

He wanted to tell Qi Lan that he was sick, but after entering WeChat, he noticed that the class group seemed to be arguing about something, which seemed to be related to Qi Lan.

Xie Zhu was puzzled and went in to have a look.

The group chat record is not long, and he easily saw Qi Lan's rude announcement.

"Also, I have someone I like."

Xie Zhu froze there, unable to move for a long time.

"..."

I don't know how long it took.

He slowly lowered his hand, staring in the direction of the window in a daze.

For a moment, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Probably didn't think about anything.

After all, he had already imagined many things in his head.

Xie Zhu was just in a daze, waiting for his heart that seemed to be tightly grasped to be released again, waiting for the blood to flow in again, and the heart slowly returned to normal beating...

He waited quietly, waited, waited until his lungs seemed to move, and he was able to exhale and inhale again.

call……

Then, he closed his eyes, sat up slowly, and lowered his head.

... Tired, uncomfortable, and hurting all over.

...I can't lie down like this, I have to go to the hospital.

...but it's really uncomfortable.

Xie Zhu panted, lowered his head to be quiet for a moment, and slowly opened the "Let's start from scratch" WeChat group.

The group was very quiet today, he hesitated for a while, and moved his fingers slowly to type, but he stopped after typing two words.

...No, it's meal time, so it's not good to trouble them.

...not to mention just a fever.

...can't be so useless.

He lowered his head and deleted those words one by one.

There was another silence.

Clutching his stomach, he slowly got out of bed.

However, after actually stepping on the ground, his stomach churns.

Xie Zhu didn't even have time to put on his slippers, he rushed out of the room, rushed to the toilet, knelt down in front of the toilet and vomited.

I vomited again and again until my tears came out, my stomach was still tightening up and down, but I couldn't vomit anything anymore.

Xie Zhu panted heavily and coughed several times.

After a while, I pulled a tissue and wiped my mouth.

Holding on to the tiled wall, he slowed down and stood up with difficulty.

…… Change your clothes, take a taxi to the hospital, and it will be fine once you arrive at the hospital.

He thinks slowly.

...By the way, I have to tell Qi Lan that he can't keep the appointment today.

Xie Zhu turned around.

He looked at the whole dark and silent house without lights, and at a certain moment, he always had an illusion, as if he was immersed in this silence without sound, and gradually became transparent.

The temperature drops rapidly in autumn.

His fingertips were slightly cold, but his throat was filled with heat. This extreme contrast made him feel a little strange, and this kind of strange feeling made him seem not to be living in the world, but still in a dream.

It's light, maybe if it falls forward, it won't feel pain?

After all, he was dreaming.

Xie Zhu thought so sleepily.

——Until that tiny "ding dong" came from the hallway of the living room.

Xie Zhu's pupils constricted.

He tilted his head in a daze, and listened carefully, thinking that he was hallucinating.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third "ding dong" sounded one after another.

...not auditory hallucinations.

The person who rang the doorbell seemed eager.

……who is it?

property?

Neighbor?

He doesn't remember anything today that required a visit from the property or neighbors.

Or did they put a camera in here and they knew someone was dying in the house?

Xie Zhu felt a little absurd. Of course, his mind was a mess, and he couldn't think normally anymore.

He could only support his weak body, dragging his feet, each foot seemed to be stepping on the clouds.

In just a few steps, the road has become extremely long.

Until he finally moved to the door, pressed the doorknob, turned it vigorously, and pushed it away——

He raised his head blankly, looking at the person outside the door.

Qi Lan was panting.

Xie Zhu's incomprehensible look turned in his black eyes.

He looked at Xie Zhu's appearance, and said in a hoarse voice: "... Are you sick?"

Xie Zhu stayed for a long time.

He thought that he was really continuing that dream, otherwise why would Qi Lan suddenly appear here.

Until he noticed that Qi Lan was not smiling like in the dream, but his eyes were slightly red.

Has anything sad happened to him?

Xie Zhu stretched out his hand subconsciously, but Qi Lan held it firmly.

"Xie Zhu," Qi Lan asked again hoarsely, as if trying to suppress something, "You're sick, so you can't reply to me this time, right?"

"..."

Xie Zhu's spirit finally returned to his body.

"……Um."

He responded lightly, staring at Qi Lan raptly, after a while, he twitched the corners of his lips and smiled.

He murmured wearily:

"...You are here, Qi Lan."

After saying this, Qi Lan's eyes suddenly changed.

He couldn't bear it any longer, and pulled Xie Zhu over forcefully, hugging him tightly in his arms.
