nib boy
Chapter 47
After a few shakes, he was firmly held in his arms as he stepped forward quickly.Looking down, Yao Lu has completely lost consciousness.
In fact, as early as a month ago after the hideous wound appeared on his wrist, Qingcheng noticed his sudden and frequent symptoms.Whether it was some kind of disease or the result of long-term injection of sedatives, Yao Lu looked extremely tired, and she often couldn't even walk steadily when she left the stage after singing a song, and even fell into a brief coma.
It's just, why at such a time...
He smiled wryly and put him on his shoulders. After hesitating for a long time, he lowered his head and brought his lips to his ear.
For a moment everything was silent.
"...I really like you."
The only answer to him was the boy's even and long breath.
Sighing and closing his eyes, he suddenly remembered a song that Yao Lu often hummed subconsciously a while ago. After two weeks of immersion, he only remembered one line of the lyrics.
Please say love me when I don't know what you said, so that I will never know how much you cared about me when you regret it.
Note: Hohhot translated into Mongolian means "green city", also known as "green city".Liberal arts students, have you talked about it in your geography class?
The author has something to say:
☆, three
On the sixth night of the trip, the two returned to Tokyo by Shinkansen.
Because the company gave Yao Lu a stingy week of vacation this time, even though they haven't enjoyed themselves to the fullest, they will still have to fly back to China tomorrow anyway, returning to their ordinary and busy lives.
Someone obviously felt dissatisfied with this.
"I heard that Kabukicho in Shinjuku is very lively at night. We have to go anyway. Why don't we go there to see? It's not far away." After packing up the luggage in the hotel room, Yao Lu spoke to Gang in a bewitching tone. Said Ning Ziyue who took off his T-shirt and was about to take a shower in the bathroom.
The other party looked up at him, frowning slightly. "Actually, you just want to go around the red light district, don't you?"
Fuck, I was seen through, the situation is not good.
With a dry cough, Yao Lu obviously lacked confidence to defend: "I... am just a little curious..."
"It's not impossible to go." Ning Ziyue waved his hand to show that he was not interested in listening to his feeble rebuttal, and said slowly after thinking for a few seconds.
"what?"
He unhurriedly put on his clothes again, confiscated Yao Lu's wallet that was casually placed on the table, and then turned his face and stared at him sharply.
"But fish and dragons are mixed there, you can't leave my side even a step."
Having said that, Kabukicho was really bustling and crowded after nightfall, and the two completely separated within half an hour.
Yao Lu sighed and threw the completely dead mobile phone into his trouser pocket, thinking that he would go back to the hotel anyway, so let's go around again.Maybe we will meet again in a while.
It's a pity that he was still too naive. Unknowingly, two hours passed, and he walked on the street with his hands in his pockets for the purpose of walking until his throat was dry, his waist was sore and his legs hurt, and finally decided to find a shop on the side of the road to drink.
Looking around, the sign on the side of the road indicates that it is Sanchome from here.The street was still crowded with people, he was really too lazy to squeeze through the crowd, so he turned his head and went into the first bar at hand.
The fluorescent green neon lights on the signboard are pieced together into beautiful cursive English, "Green Apple" - the temptation of taboo.But at that time, he didn't have the energy to think about the meaning of the bar's name.
After entering the door, he frowned and looked at the charming washing, cutting and blowing clerk who was rushing up to him, feeling the goosebumps all over his body screaming and ready to come out.It's so strange, he is obviously a man, but his every move, every frown and smile is not like a woman in every way.Is this what's trending right now?
Drenched in cold sweat, he declined his warm hospitality. Yao Lu ignored the burning eyes of everyone in the room and sat down in front of the bar, speaking Japanese that he had become fluent in a few days: "A cup of pine, bamboo and plum, and I want it to be iced."
"Yes, please wait a moment." The bartender responded with a smile, took out a glass and put it on the table, and then took a wine bottle from the shelf behind to pour wine and add ice for him.
"Awaited."
Yao Lu nodded at him, "Thank you." Then he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.Although not elegant enough, he was really too thirsty and didn't care much. "Another drink, please."
After drinking seven or eight cups, Yao Lu finally let out a sigh of satisfaction. She suddenly felt refreshed, and all the lost energy seemed to have returned.Seeing that he was almost rested, Yao Lu asked "how much" while reaching for his wallet - but it was empty.The cold sweat came down after the second "swipe" tonight.
He actually forgot that his wallet had already been confiscated by Ning Ziyue, what the hell! ! !
The bartender saw that his expression was wrong, as if he had vaguely guessed something, and said lightly, "Guest, are you here for vacation?"
Yao Lu nodded violently as if grasping at a straw, trying to win sympathy with a frail and aggrieved face. "Yeah. I'm from China..."
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, the bartender suddenly leaned out and grabbed his arm with lightning speed, and "clicked" something.Yao Lu felt a chill on his wrist, and before he could react, his other hand was quickly cuffed.Looking down in horror, Nima revealed a pair of handcuffs!
He raised his head slowly in disbelief, and the young bartender, who was at most 28 years old [uh huh], hooked his lips and showed him a deep smile of a standard gangster boss. gas……
"If you don't have money to settle the bill, you might as well keep it as collateral." He tapped the bar counter with his fingers as he spoke, and several male waiters who were wandering nearby immediately surrounded him.
This time the situation is really bad!
I heard that the vicinity of Kabukicho is not very peaceful, but I didn't expect to win the bid by such a coincidence.If I had known why he had to run out in the middle of the night to die! Shit! !
Just when he was already frantically rehearsing the escape plans in his mind to break one by one, someone suddenly stretched out his arm and hugged his waist from behind. He turned his head in surprise. The kiss was hot on his lips.
He was stunned.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Qingcheng bowed his head and smiled at him apologetically, holding his arm but showing no sign of letting go.He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and threw them on the bar without looking at them. When the young man turned to the bartender, his eyes were as cold as frost.
"Give us a private room."
Being dragged into the luxuriously decorated private room by Qingcheng ignorantly, Yao Lu sat on the soft sofa for a long time before realizing that he was still wearing the cold and uncomfortable handcuffs.
"Let that bastard just come over and open this thing for me." After he regained his senses, he felt inexplicably agitated, so he had no choice but to find something to say.Qingcheng glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued pouring wine without speaking.
The unhappiness in his heart exploded in an instant, Yao Lu stood up angrily and walked towards the door, but Qingcheng took the first step from behind him and pressed the door panel, breathing lingering in his ears.
"...It seems that I really underestimated you before, Green. You dare to come to this kind of place alone in a foreign country. Could it be that your man really can't satisfy you?"
"What did you say—" His voice trembled, and the slightly mocking tone of the other party completely irritated him. What kind of place is "this kind of place"?But a small bar, even though it was a black shop, he didn't want to break into it by mistake.Besides, can Lao Tzu's man satisfy Lao Tzu to do your shit!He wanted to stare into his eyes and argue fiercely with him, but the narrow space enclosed by his body did not allow him to turn around at all.
"Don't waste your energy. Today I won't let you go as easily as last time."
His hoarse and gloomy voice made Yao Lu feel that something was wrong.This guy never does anything irrational on impulse, what happened today?
"Hey, did you bastard drink too much? I'll count to three, and if you're sensible, get out of the way immediately, or I'll do it....Three!"
Unexpectedly, he bent his elbow and slammed into the opponent's rib with force. Unexpectedly, Qingcheng seemed to have expected it to take a half step back, which caused Yao Lu's body to temporarily lose its balance.He took advantage of the rising alcohol and pulled him to the leather sofa next to him, which was big enough to roll a bed sheet, and then leaned over to press it.
Yao Lu was forced to tense up and lie in the shadow from above him. The heroic thick eyebrows and long and straight eyelashes nearby were instantly magnified and became unprecedentedly clear. It reveals the restlessness in the owner's heart.Yao Lu suddenly felt tired and discouraged. He remembered that he had never seen that gentle and harmless smile on his face since the two reunited, but back then he clearly said to him seriously with that silly smile on his face. Over "Like".
The air seemed to freeze.Qing Cheng silently placed one hand on his heart, and then did not move again.
At this moment, Yao Lu's very familiar calm voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"The people inside, open the door for me immediately within three numbers....Three!"
With a loud noise, the door panel was kicked in two under the shocked eyes of the two.
The tall and straight man walked in with his hands in his pockets without a trace of expression on his face. He raised his eyes to see the embarrassing scene in the room, which seemed to be catching a rape in bed. His pronunciation was rusty but still sharp.
"This gentleman. The man you are pressing under is my man."
Qingcheng struggled to focus and stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled.
"……It's you."
As he spoke, he slowly got off the sofa, walked up to Ning Ziyue step by step, and then grabbed his skirt with one hand, his eyes were indifferent. "It's you, did you turn him into what he is now?"
"Qingcheng, are you fucking out of your mind tonight?!" Yao Lu barely propped up his upper body from behind, cursing violently.
On the contrary, Ning Ziyue didn't show any sullen expression on his face, and frowned slightly, looking up and down at the man in front of him who was obviously unconscious.His slightly protruding cheekbones outline his handsome and straight silhouette, with slightly raised hair tips, thick eyebrows and deep eyes. At first glance, he has the unique charm of a mixed race, and he does not seem to be Han.
In the end, facing the unrelenting blame in the other's brown eyes, Ning Ziyue stretched out a hand to rest on the back of his neck in silence. Qingcheng was already [-]% drunk, and before he could react, he felt a numbness in the back of his ears. Immediately, the body involuntarily leaned forward and lost consciousness.
"Do you know this person?" Ning Ziyue held him up in time and turned to ask Yao Lu who was staring at him stupidly on the sofa, but he gave up without waiting for an answer. "...Come here and give me a hand. With his appearance, I will definitely not be able to go back."
Yao Lu raised up his fettered hands to show him displeased, and muttered in a low voice, "How can I help when I'm already like this."
Ning Ziyue only took one look at the handcuffs, then put down Qingcheng and got out through the incomplete door, and came back with a shiny fire ax after a while.Yao Lu was shocked, jumped up from the sofa and backed away repeatedly.
"You... Ning Ziyue, don't be impulsive! What happened tonight is indeed my fault, but I swear that nothing happened between me and him! That scene just now... I, I was forced!!"
"...What are you talking about?" Ning Ziyue frowned, but remained calm. "Keep your hands flat on the table and don't move around."
Yao Lu secretly raised his eyes and saw that he really showed no sign of getting angry, so he carefully spread his hands on the table and said tremblingly: "You, you should be careful. Without this hand, I will never be able to cooperate with you in the future It's foreplay."
"You have never cooperated. Don't interfere with my concentration. If you are afraid, close your eyes." Not wanting to talk more nonsense, Ning Ziyue raised his ax and dropped his ax after concentrating for a moment. Yao Lu heard the loud noise It almost flew out of my throat.
"Okay. You go and help him up." Ning Ziyue casually glanced at the table that had been split in two by himself, thinking that the money he carried was almost enough to pay the compensation. ...Ah, no, there is another room door that was kicked down.
Yao Lu picked up Qingcheng's collar and lifted him up unhappy, "I'm carrying this guy, so what are you doing?"
The corners of Ning Ziyue's lips curled slightly, and he put the heavy and sharp ax on his shoulder, and walked out first.
"...I will open the way for you."
He would like to understand the difference between the Japanese gangsters and the Chinese gangsters.
So when the three got into the taxi safely and were about to leave, the fire ax was still shining coldly in Ning Ziyue's hand, making the driver almost think they were robbing them.
But the money that should be paid has already been paid, and the people in the bar don't dare to continue to stop them seeing this posture.When things got serious, they turned around and they didn't get any good results.
Before getting in the car, Yao Lu took out the mobile phone in Qingcheng's pocket and dialed his latest number.After the other party learned that Qingcheng was unconscious, he hurriedly informed the address of the hotel where the two lived without asking.
"This guy can really cause trouble for people." For a long time, Yao Lu broke the awkward silence in the car, but Ning Ziyue in the front seat did not respond.Relying that the driver and the unconscious guy didn't know what they were talking about, he bite the bullet and leaned forward: "Hey...you're not angry, are you?"
"No." The other party answered bluntly, but he felt strange in his heart, and seemed a little unwilling.
"Huh? Why aren't you angry?"
"...Before, you didn't turn your back on me because of Su Yang, did you?"
"I turned it over. The night he kissed you, I turned it over in my heart."
"..."
Ning Ziyue sighed. "In short, I don't need to ask what happened between you and him. But you go gay alone without my company. We will settle the account slowly after we return to China."
What?Is that a gay room?
Yao Lu was shocked for a long time before recovering, then shrugged pretending to be free and easy, and took advantage of the driver's inattention to go up to him and nibble his ear.Seeing that his entire ears turned red quickly in the field of vision, Yao Lu snickered wickedly in his heart.
"...Okay. I'm waiting for you~"
***
Fortunately, the hotel is not far from the place where they got on the bus, and they arrived in just over ten minutes.
At the front desk, he inquired a little about the floor where Xia Qingcheng and his companion lived, and they stepped into the elevator with him on the left and right.The corridor was empty in the middle of the night, Ning Ziyue found the room card from Qingcheng and opened the door, then said to Yao Lu: "I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Yeah." Yao Lu nodded, and walked into the room with difficulty supporting the weight of the guy alone.After finally putting him on the bed, Yao Lu hesitated, but did not leave immediately.He sat on the head of the bed and looked at Qingcheng's sleeping profile, and lit a cigarette while meditating.
In fact, he knew, he just couldn't let it go.
Yao Lu is not him, so he can't understand that kind of feeling.
But if it is said that there is no one who can truly forget the past, it probably does not exist.No matter how gloomy the time is, the people and things worth remembering in my heart will always stand on the other side of the long river, casting a quiet and gentle gaze on the self who has completed swimming.
"You are not the only one who can't let go."
For a long time, he closed his eyes and sighed softly, slowly extinguishing that little spark in the darkness.
"Well, try harder...just harder..."
On that winter night many years ago, Yao Lu remembered that he was lying on his back on the sofa in the backstage of the bar in his usual lazy posture, squinting his eyes and drowsy, during which time he often complained to the other party.
"Why is it so soft? Didn't I teach you well last time? Are you not good at all?"
Qingcheng's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he looked embarrassed: "I, I have tried my best... Then, why don't you come?"
"I come and I come. You feel it well, and I promise that the quality of your job is not the same as yours."
Qing Ge, who was sitting one meter away from them, listened to their conversation with a blushing face. Bar."
"Anyway, it's the Spring Festival, so how can anyone come to drink at this time?" Yao Lu sat up from the sofa without distraction, kicked Qingcheng away from the easel, picked up the pen, and "swiped" up.
"Didn't I ask you to put more effort into the shadows? Such weak lines don't look three-dimensional at all. Look, you ruined such a beautiful model as Qingge."
Qingcheng curled his lips when he heard this, and sat cross-legged on the floor with his arms folded like a angry boy. "Hmph. Then it would be nice if you came to be my model."
"I'm a model? Are you kidding me... How much are you going to pay?"
"...You guys are really enough." Qing Ge was yelled at by them, and Yao Lu immediately yelled: "Hey, don't move! It's the critical time, just bear it a little longer... 1 minute, No, half a minute is enough!"
Qingcheng casually watched him change the angle of his wrist and quickly draw, and said in distress: "Hey, when will I be able to draw as well as you?"
"Hmph, the goal is quite ambitious. Although you have no qualifications, if you draw wherever you go in the future, and draw whoever you catch, you will be able to reach perfection in a short time."
"Scared, is it true or not?"
At this time, S, who always looked gloomy, stepped into the backstage, looked at them a few times, and then threw a hook at Qingcheng. "Someone is looking for you. Boss Qi just came back, you two don't stay here and scold me." As soon as the words finished, Boss Qi walked in.
"Ah Cheng, someone is looking for you." He said as he took off his thick padded jacket, and Qing Cheng went out with S in response.
After hanging up his clothes, he turned his attention to Yao Lu who was still sketching in front of the easel. After hesitating, he moved a stool and sat next to him, ready to chat.
"Xiao Yao. You said it's a big New Year's day—we always procrastinate and don't go home, isn't it good?"
"Ou Sang, I can't see anything if you block the light."
"Oh, I'm sorry. ... Hey, did you hear what I just said?"
"Understood. Don't you realize that I changed the subject on purpose? Don't talk about disappointing topics on such a festive day. I can't help being anxious with you later." He said lightly and put it down Pencil, took off the drawing paper and walked towards Qing Ge with a smile. "It's done~"
"Thank you...it's a pity I can't see it." Qing Ge carefully held the sketch in his hand with some regrets, and Yao Lu comforted her with a smile: "No need to look, it's as good-looking as you, really."
Qingge blushed and lowered her head, as if she didn't know how to answer the words, but when she raised her eyes after a while, her expression changed into a sad one. "...Ah Lu, I told you something, don't be angry. Boss Qi is right. Chinese New Year is a time for family reunion. We have to do it out of necessity... But you are different. If you don't cherish it now, you will regret it in the future .”
Yao Lu really put his hands in his trouser pockets with a cold face, his eyes full of sarcasm. "Oh. Do you regret it? I, Yao Lu, have grown up to such an age, and I have never tasted that kind of feeling."
Boss Qi sighed helplessly. "The child now..."
The sound of opening the door interrupted his sobbing, and several people turned their heads towards the door at the same time, and saw Qing Cheng walking in with a stiff expression. You can see that it is wrong.S, who followed closely, also had a bad expression on his face, but he, who was already taciturn, would never say anything in vain.
In the end, it was Yao Lu who broke the silence first, "What's wrong with you? Have you been molested by the person looking for you?"
Qingcheng did not fight back pretending to be annoyed as usual, but quietly squatted down to pick up a piece of graffiti that fell from the easel, turned it over and stared at it carefully.
The pattern was probably painted by Yao Lu in his spare time, but it looks surprisingly delicate.Like a mottled and colorful black rose, and like half of a devil's wing, taboos and temptations are contradictoryly mixed together, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
He forced a smile and raised his eyes to look at him, but his eyes were full of turbulent sadness that couldn't be concealed.
"Can you give me this painting?..."
The author has something to say: Happy National Day everyone
☆, four
It was not until a long, long time later that Yao Lu knew what happened to him that night.
But when he found out, it was too late.
"What do you mean they are leaving tonight?!" Yao Lu grabbed his collar by the collar after listening to Boss Qi's calm tone, and asked in a rare gaffe.
"It's literally." Boss Qi didn't stop wiping the cup, and slowly raised his head to look at him with sympathetic eyes. "Don't get excited, they don't want to make you sad, so they let me hide it..."
Yao Lu was not interested at all in listening to his self-indulgent consolation, with blue veins throbbing faintly on his forehead: "Why on earth are the two of them leaving suddenly? Does S know about this?"
"Earlier than you knew." Boss Qi sighed, turned around and put the clean glass on the wine rack. "Do you still remember that on the day of Chinese New Year, someone came to see Ah Cheng?"
Yao Lu had a vague impression in his mind and nodded. "Remember. Who was that man?"
"Both of them's biological father. A Russian man."
The great shock made him lose his mind and slumped down in his chair.
"But...but didn't their parents...?"
"That man abandoned their mother early back then, so the two thought their father was dead from birth. Later their mother died of illness, and Qingcheng and Qingge left Hulun [ummm] Beier, that man He wanted to find his wife and children again, but he was in vain. But it seemed that they had heard the news from their uncle, and they found it all the way here.
"If you want me to say, they are blood relatives anyway. Even if they haven't fulfilled their father's responsibilities all these years, it's better to be reunited now than the two brothers and sisters to continue to live alone. Besides, that man is not young. A music company with a net worth of at least over [-] million. Regardless of other things, if Qingge's eyes still want to be treated..."
"Okay, don't say any more." Yao Lu interrupted him, only feeling a tightness in his chest.After bowing his head in silence for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, grabbed his coat and walked towards the door.
"You just said, what time is their flight?..."
I hurried to the airport, less than 10 minutes before the flight took off.
While searching aimlessly in the terminal, Yao Lu angrily dialed Qingcheng's phone: "Bastard, where the hell are you now?!"
"Green?" The person on the other end of the phone was surprised at first, but quickly returned to normal, with a hint of relief in his tone. "I knew you would come..."
"Stop the fucking bullshit! Where are you?"
"You...turn back now."
Yao Lu turned around as she said, and saw Qingcheng walking towards him through the crowd with his mobile phone in hand.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, he raised his head and stared fiercely at him: "Why are you alone? Where's Qing Ge?"
"She's already boarded the plane with...that person. I know you'll come when you hear the news, so I've been waiting here for you."
"I want to see her." The boy stubbornly paused every word, but only got a sigh from the other party.
"Before Qingge boards the plane, please let me convey my apology to you." Qingcheng stared at him in silence for a few seconds, then added in a low voice: "This is also... what I want to say to you."
When Yao Lu heard this, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"I'm sorry, can everything be written off? Back then you kept saying that we would become the hottest band in the country, Qingcheng, why didn't you keep the promise you made to me?"
Qingcheng looked ashamed, and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.He really had nothing to say, even if it was to let Qing Ge heal her eyes, even to experience the untouchable family affection since childhood, even if he said how much he cared, he still wanted to leave in the end.
"Before I met you in 'Xun', I had never been close to other people. Only there, when the night fell and I stood on the stage with you and sang to my heart's content, did I feel that I was not alone. I have committed suicide more than once before, but failed to die every time. The doctor said I was severely depressed, and my parents thought I was hopeless. That's why I feel more and more that life is really meaningless. But being with you When I was there, I could feel that 'I' was real, not a ghostly shadow, not a half-dead walking corpse. But just when I found myself, you were leaving. Then after you leave , can this 'I' continue to exist?..."
Facing Yao Lu's trembling question, Qingcheng didn't say a word, but just took a step forward and opened his arms to him.One, two, hugged him tightly and tightly.The juvenile's thin shoulders hurt his jaw a little, but he didn't care.
"... exists. 'You' are here now."
The sourness and distress that was involuntarily spreading in the chest——
Didn't the proud and somewhat fragile child in his arms intend to stand in front of him all the time to protect him from the wind and rain, carefully protecting him?
When the regret and pity finally faded from his chest, he suddenly changed his mind.
"I'll show you something."
Yao Lu didn't seem to have reacted yet, and watched him squat down dumbly, and took out a very ordinary cardboard box from the luggage bag at his feet and handed it over. "open to take a look."
Looking at him suspiciously, Yao Lu slowly reached out and lifted the cover, then froze.
——It was a box full of character sketches with him as the main character.
The boy in the painting stands or sits, frowns or smiles, and the brushstrokes range from naive to unrestrained and proficient, and become more and more lifelike as the date approaches.
"From the day you taught me the method, I have been secretly drawing. From the first picture to the last one... the latest one already looks a lot like you."
Yao Lu's hand holding the cardboard box trembled slightly.
"And this." Qingcheng lowered his head and rolled up his cuffs as if he didn't notice his strangeness, and showed him the intricate tattoos on it, with a somewhat smug smile.
"Does it look familiar? It was the painting that you gave me that day... Uh, I forced you to give me the painting. At the beginning, the person said that the pattern was too complicated, so he didn't dare to give me a tattoo. How about it, the effect is not bad." He was talking , he suddenly grabbed Yao Lu's arm that was trying to rub the corner of his eyes quickly, his gaze was more serious than ever.
"With this, I won't forget you."
He looked up at him, and the sockets of his eyes suddenly turned red uncontrollably.
All the anger, sadness, nostalgia and unwillingness are all melted away in this moment, in his clear eyes.
He knows that everything is difficult to force. It is a kind of luck to have someone to go with you, and it is a kind of helplessness to have someone to leave. The choice is free.No matter what is good, it cannot be a reason for resentment.
Since I have been with you for a while on the road, I have no regrets.
"Sooner or later I'm going to make the best music in the world, and I'll let you hear it no matter how far away. Wait for me, Green."
Yao Lu finally pulled the corners of her lips when she heard the words, and for the first time there was such a soft light in her eyes.
"Okay. I'll wait for you."
Before boarding the plane at the last minute, Qingcheng had already stepped into the long and narrow passage, but turned around halfway, and met Yao Lu's gaze that was fixed on him from afar.
"Hello." Qingcheng beckoned to him from a distance, smiling brightly.
"I almost forgot to tell you. My real name is Aodenggeril, 'Starlight'...."
It was almost midnight when we got back to the bar.
Boss Qi greeted the guests behind the bar as usual, seeing him sitting at the table with a calm face in the dusty world, he pushed over a glass of juice.
"They left?"
"Ah."
"You didn't go to the airport to beat someone up, did you?"
Yao Lu drank the liquid in the cup without answering.
Boss Qi stared at him for a while, resting his chin, then suddenly reached out and knocked his head, but it didn't hurt very much.Yao Lu looked up at him.
"S just quit his job here before you came, saying that he is getting older and wants to go back to his hometown to live a stable life. They have left one or two, what are you going to do?"
The boy finally smiled faintly. "I've come to say goodbye to you, boss."
It was the first time he called him "Boss" so honestly, and Boss Qi couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise. "Don't tell me you're leaving too?"
"It's not 'go', it's 'back'." He lit a cigarette with a desolate expression, his brows and eyes blurred by the mist.
"I have thought about a lot of things on the way here. I know that I am restless in my bones, but no matter how hard people can be, they will be tired. Suddenly, I feel that I can't move anymore. Besides, I still owe the people around me so many."
Boss Qi watched this beautiful child quietly, his face full of indifference that didn't suit his age.
"My parents can't spend my whole life with me. Besides, compared to Qingcheng and the others, I'm already much happier. Just like what you said to Qingge, I may be... afraid that I will really regret it."
"Been worrying you all this time. Thank you, boss."
That night, Yao Lu stepped out of the gate of "Xun" without looking back.
The street at this time was as deserted as ever. Yao Lu walked briskly on the white line in the middle of the road, and when she raised her head inadvertently, she saw a bright moonlight.
Parting is actually not scary.
Because no matter how far the distance is, what is reflected in our eyes is still the same bright moon.
***
To prevent traffic jams on the next day, Ning Ziyue picked up the drowsy Yao Lu and rushed to the airport early in the morning. Unexpectedly, the traffic conditions were unexpectedly smooth, and it was more than an hour early.
Yao Lu immediately became unhappy, and kept moaning and cursing while passing through the security check, and the cloud of low air pressure was always hovering above her head.Ning Ziyue couldn't hold back a few times and wanted to push him into a corner, but he still kept his breath. Anyway, after returning to China, there will be opportunities...
After finally finishing all the formalities, Yao Lu's mood improved obviously after seeing the dazzling array of candies and chocolates in the duty-free shop inside, so she asked Ning Ziyue to pick one of each from the shelf, and he wanted to eat it on the plane.
"You don't think you should panic." Even though Ning Ziyue was reluctant, he had no choice but to carry it out. After all, this guy's blood sugar was always terribly low, so he was allowed to do whatever he wanted.
The fact is that as soon as the item was in his hand, Yao Lu couldn't wait to tear open the package and gobble it up. It's a pity that he slept with his eyes closed during breakfast - in the final analysis, it was all the fault of this guy in front of him!While thinking about him, he chewed viciously as if venting his anger, staring at the other party inexplicably, thinking he was choking.
"Drink some water. I think you feel salty when you eat it."
"No. I will."
Yao Lu angrily twisted her body to the other side of the seat, only to realize that the tall and familiar figure had been waiting beside her for a while.
Qingcheng avoided the unexpected gazes of the two in a little embarrassment, and coughed lightly.
"... What a coincidence. We met again."
Seeing his well-dressed and clean face, Yao Lu felt a little angry.The guy who was hungover the night before recovered really quickly, but he was exhausted for most of the night, and he ended up with such a premature ejaculation, damn it.
"Hehe. I ran into you in three of the seven days I went abroad. The probability is too evil." Yao Lu sneered, but she was not unhappy because of meeting him.
Qingcheng stared at him with his head down for a few seconds, then shifted his gaze to Ning Ziyue, smiling unnaturally.
"After waking up, I sort of remembered what happened last night. Thank you for sending me back, and... I'm sorry. In every way."
Yao Lu felt depressed when he heard it from the side.Brother, the person you pressed last night was me, not him, anyway, you should look at me when you apologize, right?
"It doesn't matter. You were not conscious at the time, and those who don't know are innocent." Over there, Ning Ziyue slightly nodded his head indifferently, expressing himself that he didn't take it to heart, seeing the hatred in Yao Lu's heart.Seeing this, Qingcheng couldn't help feeling a little admiration from the bottom of his heart, so he took advantage of the situation and made the next request.
"Also... I want to talk to Green alone, is it convenient?"
Not convenient, not convenient at all!
Yao Lu was vigilant, and subconsciously looked at Ning Ziyue's reaction, but he didn't expect that the other party still stood up from his seat with a look of detachment from the world. "I'll go over there."
Yao Lu still doesn't give up
In fact, as early as a month ago after the hideous wound appeared on his wrist, Qingcheng noticed his sudden and frequent symptoms.Whether it was some kind of disease or the result of long-term injection of sedatives, Yao Lu looked extremely tired, and she often couldn't even walk steadily when she left the stage after singing a song, and even fell into a brief coma.
It's just, why at such a time...
He smiled wryly and put him on his shoulders. After hesitating for a long time, he lowered his head and brought his lips to his ear.
For a moment everything was silent.
"...I really like you."
The only answer to him was the boy's even and long breath.
Sighing and closing his eyes, he suddenly remembered a song that Yao Lu often hummed subconsciously a while ago. After two weeks of immersion, he only remembered one line of the lyrics.
Please say love me when I don't know what you said, so that I will never know how much you cared about me when you regret it.
Note: Hohhot translated into Mongolian means "green city", also known as "green city".Liberal arts students, have you talked about it in your geography class?
The author has something to say:
☆, three
On the sixth night of the trip, the two returned to Tokyo by Shinkansen.
Because the company gave Yao Lu a stingy week of vacation this time, even though they haven't enjoyed themselves to the fullest, they will still have to fly back to China tomorrow anyway, returning to their ordinary and busy lives.
Someone obviously felt dissatisfied with this.
"I heard that Kabukicho in Shinjuku is very lively at night. We have to go anyway. Why don't we go there to see? It's not far away." After packing up the luggage in the hotel room, Yao Lu spoke to Gang in a bewitching tone. Said Ning Ziyue who took off his T-shirt and was about to take a shower in the bathroom.
The other party looked up at him, frowning slightly. "Actually, you just want to go around the red light district, don't you?"
Fuck, I was seen through, the situation is not good.
With a dry cough, Yao Lu obviously lacked confidence to defend: "I... am just a little curious..."
"It's not impossible to go." Ning Ziyue waved his hand to show that he was not interested in listening to his feeble rebuttal, and said slowly after thinking for a few seconds.
"what?"
He unhurriedly put on his clothes again, confiscated Yao Lu's wallet that was casually placed on the table, and then turned his face and stared at him sharply.
"But fish and dragons are mixed there, you can't leave my side even a step."
Having said that, Kabukicho was really bustling and crowded after nightfall, and the two completely separated within half an hour.
Yao Lu sighed and threw the completely dead mobile phone into his trouser pocket, thinking that he would go back to the hotel anyway, so let's go around again.Maybe we will meet again in a while.
It's a pity that he was still too naive. Unknowingly, two hours passed, and he walked on the street with his hands in his pockets for the purpose of walking until his throat was dry, his waist was sore and his legs hurt, and finally decided to find a shop on the side of the road to drink.
Looking around, the sign on the side of the road indicates that it is Sanchome from here.The street was still crowded with people, he was really too lazy to squeeze through the crowd, so he turned his head and went into the first bar at hand.
The fluorescent green neon lights on the signboard are pieced together into beautiful cursive English, "Green Apple" - the temptation of taboo.But at that time, he didn't have the energy to think about the meaning of the bar's name.
After entering the door, he frowned and looked at the charming washing, cutting and blowing clerk who was rushing up to him, feeling the goosebumps all over his body screaming and ready to come out.It's so strange, he is obviously a man, but his every move, every frown and smile is not like a woman in every way.Is this what's trending right now?
Drenched in cold sweat, he declined his warm hospitality. Yao Lu ignored the burning eyes of everyone in the room and sat down in front of the bar, speaking Japanese that he had become fluent in a few days: "A cup of pine, bamboo and plum, and I want it to be iced."
"Yes, please wait a moment." The bartender responded with a smile, took out a glass and put it on the table, and then took a wine bottle from the shelf behind to pour wine and add ice for him.
"Awaited."
Yao Lu nodded at him, "Thank you." Then he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.Although not elegant enough, he was really too thirsty and didn't care much. "Another drink, please."
After drinking seven or eight cups, Yao Lu finally let out a sigh of satisfaction. She suddenly felt refreshed, and all the lost energy seemed to have returned.Seeing that he was almost rested, Yao Lu asked "how much" while reaching for his wallet - but it was empty.The cold sweat came down after the second "swipe" tonight.
He actually forgot that his wallet had already been confiscated by Ning Ziyue, what the hell! ! !
The bartender saw that his expression was wrong, as if he had vaguely guessed something, and said lightly, "Guest, are you here for vacation?"
Yao Lu nodded violently as if grasping at a straw, trying to win sympathy with a frail and aggrieved face. "Yeah. I'm from China..."
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, the bartender suddenly leaned out and grabbed his arm with lightning speed, and "clicked" something.Yao Lu felt a chill on his wrist, and before he could react, his other hand was quickly cuffed.Looking down in horror, Nima revealed a pair of handcuffs!
He raised his head slowly in disbelief, and the young bartender, who was at most 28 years old [uh huh], hooked his lips and showed him a deep smile of a standard gangster boss. gas……
"If you don't have money to settle the bill, you might as well keep it as collateral." He tapped the bar counter with his fingers as he spoke, and several male waiters who were wandering nearby immediately surrounded him.
This time the situation is really bad!
I heard that the vicinity of Kabukicho is not very peaceful, but I didn't expect to win the bid by such a coincidence.If I had known why he had to run out in the middle of the night to die! Shit! !
Just when he was already frantically rehearsing the escape plans in his mind to break one by one, someone suddenly stretched out his arm and hugged his waist from behind. He turned his head in surprise. The kiss was hot on his lips.
He was stunned.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Qingcheng bowed his head and smiled at him apologetically, holding his arm but showing no sign of letting go.He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and threw them on the bar without looking at them. When the young man turned to the bartender, his eyes were as cold as frost.
"Give us a private room."
Being dragged into the luxuriously decorated private room by Qingcheng ignorantly, Yao Lu sat on the soft sofa for a long time before realizing that he was still wearing the cold and uncomfortable handcuffs.
"Let that bastard just come over and open this thing for me." After he regained his senses, he felt inexplicably agitated, so he had no choice but to find something to say.Qingcheng glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued pouring wine without speaking.
The unhappiness in his heart exploded in an instant, Yao Lu stood up angrily and walked towards the door, but Qingcheng took the first step from behind him and pressed the door panel, breathing lingering in his ears.
"...It seems that I really underestimated you before, Green. You dare to come to this kind of place alone in a foreign country. Could it be that your man really can't satisfy you?"
"What did you say—" His voice trembled, and the slightly mocking tone of the other party completely irritated him. What kind of place is "this kind of place"?But a small bar, even though it was a black shop, he didn't want to break into it by mistake.Besides, can Lao Tzu's man satisfy Lao Tzu to do your shit!He wanted to stare into his eyes and argue fiercely with him, but the narrow space enclosed by his body did not allow him to turn around at all.
"Don't waste your energy. Today I won't let you go as easily as last time."
His hoarse and gloomy voice made Yao Lu feel that something was wrong.This guy never does anything irrational on impulse, what happened today?
"Hey, did you bastard drink too much? I'll count to three, and if you're sensible, get out of the way immediately, or I'll do it....Three!"
Unexpectedly, he bent his elbow and slammed into the opponent's rib with force. Unexpectedly, Qingcheng seemed to have expected it to take a half step back, which caused Yao Lu's body to temporarily lose its balance.He took advantage of the rising alcohol and pulled him to the leather sofa next to him, which was big enough to roll a bed sheet, and then leaned over to press it.
Yao Lu was forced to tense up and lie in the shadow from above him. The heroic thick eyebrows and long and straight eyelashes nearby were instantly magnified and became unprecedentedly clear. It reveals the restlessness in the owner's heart.Yao Lu suddenly felt tired and discouraged. He remembered that he had never seen that gentle and harmless smile on his face since the two reunited, but back then he clearly said to him seriously with that silly smile on his face. Over "Like".
The air seemed to freeze.Qing Cheng silently placed one hand on his heart, and then did not move again.
At this moment, Yao Lu's very familiar calm voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"The people inside, open the door for me immediately within three numbers....Three!"
With a loud noise, the door panel was kicked in two under the shocked eyes of the two.
The tall and straight man walked in with his hands in his pockets without a trace of expression on his face. He raised his eyes to see the embarrassing scene in the room, which seemed to be catching a rape in bed. His pronunciation was rusty but still sharp.
"This gentleman. The man you are pressing under is my man."
Qingcheng struggled to focus and stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled.
"……It's you."
As he spoke, he slowly got off the sofa, walked up to Ning Ziyue step by step, and then grabbed his skirt with one hand, his eyes were indifferent. "It's you, did you turn him into what he is now?"
"Qingcheng, are you fucking out of your mind tonight?!" Yao Lu barely propped up his upper body from behind, cursing violently.
On the contrary, Ning Ziyue didn't show any sullen expression on his face, and frowned slightly, looking up and down at the man in front of him who was obviously unconscious.His slightly protruding cheekbones outline his handsome and straight silhouette, with slightly raised hair tips, thick eyebrows and deep eyes. At first glance, he has the unique charm of a mixed race, and he does not seem to be Han.
In the end, facing the unrelenting blame in the other's brown eyes, Ning Ziyue stretched out a hand to rest on the back of his neck in silence. Qingcheng was already [-]% drunk, and before he could react, he felt a numbness in the back of his ears. Immediately, the body involuntarily leaned forward and lost consciousness.
"Do you know this person?" Ning Ziyue held him up in time and turned to ask Yao Lu who was staring at him stupidly on the sofa, but he gave up without waiting for an answer. "...Come here and give me a hand. With his appearance, I will definitely not be able to go back."
Yao Lu raised up his fettered hands to show him displeased, and muttered in a low voice, "How can I help when I'm already like this."
Ning Ziyue only took one look at the handcuffs, then put down Qingcheng and got out through the incomplete door, and came back with a shiny fire ax after a while.Yao Lu was shocked, jumped up from the sofa and backed away repeatedly.
"You... Ning Ziyue, don't be impulsive! What happened tonight is indeed my fault, but I swear that nothing happened between me and him! That scene just now... I, I was forced!!"
"...What are you talking about?" Ning Ziyue frowned, but remained calm. "Keep your hands flat on the table and don't move around."
Yao Lu secretly raised his eyes and saw that he really showed no sign of getting angry, so he carefully spread his hands on the table and said tremblingly: "You, you should be careful. Without this hand, I will never be able to cooperate with you in the future It's foreplay."
"You have never cooperated. Don't interfere with my concentration. If you are afraid, close your eyes." Not wanting to talk more nonsense, Ning Ziyue raised his ax and dropped his ax after concentrating for a moment. Yao Lu heard the loud noise It almost flew out of my throat.
"Okay. You go and help him up." Ning Ziyue casually glanced at the table that had been split in two by himself, thinking that the money he carried was almost enough to pay the compensation. ...Ah, no, there is another room door that was kicked down.
Yao Lu picked up Qingcheng's collar and lifted him up unhappy, "I'm carrying this guy, so what are you doing?"
The corners of Ning Ziyue's lips curled slightly, and he put the heavy and sharp ax on his shoulder, and walked out first.
"...I will open the way for you."
He would like to understand the difference between the Japanese gangsters and the Chinese gangsters.
So when the three got into the taxi safely and were about to leave, the fire ax was still shining coldly in Ning Ziyue's hand, making the driver almost think they were robbing them.
But the money that should be paid has already been paid, and the people in the bar don't dare to continue to stop them seeing this posture.When things got serious, they turned around and they didn't get any good results.
Before getting in the car, Yao Lu took out the mobile phone in Qingcheng's pocket and dialed his latest number.After the other party learned that Qingcheng was unconscious, he hurriedly informed the address of the hotel where the two lived without asking.
"This guy can really cause trouble for people." For a long time, Yao Lu broke the awkward silence in the car, but Ning Ziyue in the front seat did not respond.Relying that the driver and the unconscious guy didn't know what they were talking about, he bite the bullet and leaned forward: "Hey...you're not angry, are you?"
"No." The other party answered bluntly, but he felt strange in his heart, and seemed a little unwilling.
"Huh? Why aren't you angry?"
"...Before, you didn't turn your back on me because of Su Yang, did you?"
"I turned it over. The night he kissed you, I turned it over in my heart."
"..."
Ning Ziyue sighed. "In short, I don't need to ask what happened between you and him. But you go gay alone without my company. We will settle the account slowly after we return to China."
What?Is that a gay room?
Yao Lu was shocked for a long time before recovering, then shrugged pretending to be free and easy, and took advantage of the driver's inattention to go up to him and nibble his ear.Seeing that his entire ears turned red quickly in the field of vision, Yao Lu snickered wickedly in his heart.
"...Okay. I'm waiting for you~"
***
Fortunately, the hotel is not far from the place where they got on the bus, and they arrived in just over ten minutes.
At the front desk, he inquired a little about the floor where Xia Qingcheng and his companion lived, and they stepped into the elevator with him on the left and right.The corridor was empty in the middle of the night, Ning Ziyue found the room card from Qingcheng and opened the door, then said to Yao Lu: "I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Yeah." Yao Lu nodded, and walked into the room with difficulty supporting the weight of the guy alone.After finally putting him on the bed, Yao Lu hesitated, but did not leave immediately.He sat on the head of the bed and looked at Qingcheng's sleeping profile, and lit a cigarette while meditating.
In fact, he knew, he just couldn't let it go.
Yao Lu is not him, so he can't understand that kind of feeling.
But if it is said that there is no one who can truly forget the past, it probably does not exist.No matter how gloomy the time is, the people and things worth remembering in my heart will always stand on the other side of the long river, casting a quiet and gentle gaze on the self who has completed swimming.
"You are not the only one who can't let go."
For a long time, he closed his eyes and sighed softly, slowly extinguishing that little spark in the darkness.
"Well, try harder...just harder..."
On that winter night many years ago, Yao Lu remembered that he was lying on his back on the sofa in the backstage of the bar in his usual lazy posture, squinting his eyes and drowsy, during which time he often complained to the other party.
"Why is it so soft? Didn't I teach you well last time? Are you not good at all?"
Qingcheng's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he looked embarrassed: "I, I have tried my best... Then, why don't you come?"
"I come and I come. You feel it well, and I promise that the quality of your job is not the same as yours."
Qing Ge, who was sitting one meter away from them, listened to their conversation with a blushing face. Bar."
"Anyway, it's the Spring Festival, so how can anyone come to drink at this time?" Yao Lu sat up from the sofa without distraction, kicked Qingcheng away from the easel, picked up the pen, and "swiped" up.
"Didn't I ask you to put more effort into the shadows? Such weak lines don't look three-dimensional at all. Look, you ruined such a beautiful model as Qingge."
Qingcheng curled his lips when he heard this, and sat cross-legged on the floor with his arms folded like a angry boy. "Hmph. Then it would be nice if you came to be my model."
"I'm a model? Are you kidding me... How much are you going to pay?"
"...You guys are really enough." Qing Ge was yelled at by them, and Yao Lu immediately yelled: "Hey, don't move! It's the critical time, just bear it a little longer... 1 minute, No, half a minute is enough!"
Qingcheng casually watched him change the angle of his wrist and quickly draw, and said in distress: "Hey, when will I be able to draw as well as you?"
"Hmph, the goal is quite ambitious. Although you have no qualifications, if you draw wherever you go in the future, and draw whoever you catch, you will be able to reach perfection in a short time."
"Scared, is it true or not?"
At this time, S, who always looked gloomy, stepped into the backstage, looked at them a few times, and then threw a hook at Qingcheng. "Someone is looking for you. Boss Qi just came back, you two don't stay here and scold me." As soon as the words finished, Boss Qi walked in.
"Ah Cheng, someone is looking for you." He said as he took off his thick padded jacket, and Qing Cheng went out with S in response.
After hanging up his clothes, he turned his attention to Yao Lu who was still sketching in front of the easel. After hesitating, he moved a stool and sat next to him, ready to chat.
"Xiao Yao. You said it's a big New Year's day—we always procrastinate and don't go home, isn't it good?"
"Ou Sang, I can't see anything if you block the light."
"Oh, I'm sorry. ... Hey, did you hear what I just said?"
"Understood. Don't you realize that I changed the subject on purpose? Don't talk about disappointing topics on such a festive day. I can't help being anxious with you later." He said lightly and put it down Pencil, took off the drawing paper and walked towards Qing Ge with a smile. "It's done~"
"Thank you...it's a pity I can't see it." Qing Ge carefully held the sketch in his hand with some regrets, and Yao Lu comforted her with a smile: "No need to look, it's as good-looking as you, really."
Qingge blushed and lowered her head, as if she didn't know how to answer the words, but when she raised her eyes after a while, her expression changed into a sad one. "...Ah Lu, I told you something, don't be angry. Boss Qi is right. Chinese New Year is a time for family reunion. We have to do it out of necessity... But you are different. If you don't cherish it now, you will regret it in the future .”
Yao Lu really put his hands in his trouser pockets with a cold face, his eyes full of sarcasm. "Oh. Do you regret it? I, Yao Lu, have grown up to such an age, and I have never tasted that kind of feeling."
Boss Qi sighed helplessly. "The child now..."
The sound of opening the door interrupted his sobbing, and several people turned their heads towards the door at the same time, and saw Qing Cheng walking in with a stiff expression. You can see that it is wrong.S, who followed closely, also had a bad expression on his face, but he, who was already taciturn, would never say anything in vain.
In the end, it was Yao Lu who broke the silence first, "What's wrong with you? Have you been molested by the person looking for you?"
Qingcheng did not fight back pretending to be annoyed as usual, but quietly squatted down to pick up a piece of graffiti that fell from the easel, turned it over and stared at it carefully.
The pattern was probably painted by Yao Lu in his spare time, but it looks surprisingly delicate.Like a mottled and colorful black rose, and like half of a devil's wing, taboos and temptations are contradictoryly mixed together, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
He forced a smile and raised his eyes to look at him, but his eyes were full of turbulent sadness that couldn't be concealed.
"Can you give me this painting?..."
The author has something to say: Happy National Day everyone
☆, four
It was not until a long, long time later that Yao Lu knew what happened to him that night.
But when he found out, it was too late.
"What do you mean they are leaving tonight?!" Yao Lu grabbed his collar by the collar after listening to Boss Qi's calm tone, and asked in a rare gaffe.
"It's literally." Boss Qi didn't stop wiping the cup, and slowly raised his head to look at him with sympathetic eyes. "Don't get excited, they don't want to make you sad, so they let me hide it..."
Yao Lu was not interested at all in listening to his self-indulgent consolation, with blue veins throbbing faintly on his forehead: "Why on earth are the two of them leaving suddenly? Does S know about this?"
"Earlier than you knew." Boss Qi sighed, turned around and put the clean glass on the wine rack. "Do you still remember that on the day of Chinese New Year, someone came to see Ah Cheng?"
Yao Lu had a vague impression in his mind and nodded. "Remember. Who was that man?"
"Both of them's biological father. A Russian man."
The great shock made him lose his mind and slumped down in his chair.
"But...but didn't their parents...?"
"That man abandoned their mother early back then, so the two thought their father was dead from birth. Later their mother died of illness, and Qingcheng and Qingge left Hulun [ummm] Beier, that man He wanted to find his wife and children again, but he was in vain. But it seemed that they had heard the news from their uncle, and they found it all the way here.
"If you want me to say, they are blood relatives anyway. Even if they haven't fulfilled their father's responsibilities all these years, it's better to be reunited now than the two brothers and sisters to continue to live alone. Besides, that man is not young. A music company with a net worth of at least over [-] million. Regardless of other things, if Qingge's eyes still want to be treated..."
"Okay, don't say any more." Yao Lu interrupted him, only feeling a tightness in his chest.After bowing his head in silence for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, grabbed his coat and walked towards the door.
"You just said, what time is their flight?..."
I hurried to the airport, less than 10 minutes before the flight took off.
While searching aimlessly in the terminal, Yao Lu angrily dialed Qingcheng's phone: "Bastard, where the hell are you now?!"
"Green?" The person on the other end of the phone was surprised at first, but quickly returned to normal, with a hint of relief in his tone. "I knew you would come..."
"Stop the fucking bullshit! Where are you?"
"You...turn back now."
Yao Lu turned around as she said, and saw Qingcheng walking towards him through the crowd with his mobile phone in hand.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, he raised his head and stared fiercely at him: "Why are you alone? Where's Qing Ge?"
"She's already boarded the plane with...that person. I know you'll come when you hear the news, so I've been waiting here for you."
"I want to see her." The boy stubbornly paused every word, but only got a sigh from the other party.
"Before Qingge boards the plane, please let me convey my apology to you." Qingcheng stared at him in silence for a few seconds, then added in a low voice: "This is also... what I want to say to you."
When Yao Lu heard this, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"I'm sorry, can everything be written off? Back then you kept saying that we would become the hottest band in the country, Qingcheng, why didn't you keep the promise you made to me?"
Qingcheng looked ashamed, and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.He really had nothing to say, even if it was to let Qing Ge heal her eyes, even to experience the untouchable family affection since childhood, even if he said how much he cared, he still wanted to leave in the end.
"Before I met you in 'Xun', I had never been close to other people. Only there, when the night fell and I stood on the stage with you and sang to my heart's content, did I feel that I was not alone. I have committed suicide more than once before, but failed to die every time. The doctor said I was severely depressed, and my parents thought I was hopeless. That's why I feel more and more that life is really meaningless. But being with you When I was there, I could feel that 'I' was real, not a ghostly shadow, not a half-dead walking corpse. But just when I found myself, you were leaving. Then after you leave , can this 'I' continue to exist?..."
Facing Yao Lu's trembling question, Qingcheng didn't say a word, but just took a step forward and opened his arms to him.One, two, hugged him tightly and tightly.The juvenile's thin shoulders hurt his jaw a little, but he didn't care.
"... exists. 'You' are here now."
The sourness and distress that was involuntarily spreading in the chest——
Didn't the proud and somewhat fragile child in his arms intend to stand in front of him all the time to protect him from the wind and rain, carefully protecting him?
When the regret and pity finally faded from his chest, he suddenly changed his mind.
"I'll show you something."
Yao Lu didn't seem to have reacted yet, and watched him squat down dumbly, and took out a very ordinary cardboard box from the luggage bag at his feet and handed it over. "open to take a look."
Looking at him suspiciously, Yao Lu slowly reached out and lifted the cover, then froze.
——It was a box full of character sketches with him as the main character.
The boy in the painting stands or sits, frowns or smiles, and the brushstrokes range from naive to unrestrained and proficient, and become more and more lifelike as the date approaches.
"From the day you taught me the method, I have been secretly drawing. From the first picture to the last one... the latest one already looks a lot like you."
Yao Lu's hand holding the cardboard box trembled slightly.
"And this." Qingcheng lowered his head and rolled up his cuffs as if he didn't notice his strangeness, and showed him the intricate tattoos on it, with a somewhat smug smile.
"Does it look familiar? It was the painting that you gave me that day... Uh, I forced you to give me the painting. At the beginning, the person said that the pattern was too complicated, so he didn't dare to give me a tattoo. How about it, the effect is not bad." He was talking , he suddenly grabbed Yao Lu's arm that was trying to rub the corner of his eyes quickly, his gaze was more serious than ever.
"With this, I won't forget you."
He looked up at him, and the sockets of his eyes suddenly turned red uncontrollably.
All the anger, sadness, nostalgia and unwillingness are all melted away in this moment, in his clear eyes.
He knows that everything is difficult to force. It is a kind of luck to have someone to go with you, and it is a kind of helplessness to have someone to leave. The choice is free.No matter what is good, it cannot be a reason for resentment.
Since I have been with you for a while on the road, I have no regrets.
"Sooner or later I'm going to make the best music in the world, and I'll let you hear it no matter how far away. Wait for me, Green."
Yao Lu finally pulled the corners of her lips when she heard the words, and for the first time there was such a soft light in her eyes.
"Okay. I'll wait for you."
Before boarding the plane at the last minute, Qingcheng had already stepped into the long and narrow passage, but turned around halfway, and met Yao Lu's gaze that was fixed on him from afar.
"Hello." Qingcheng beckoned to him from a distance, smiling brightly.
"I almost forgot to tell you. My real name is Aodenggeril, 'Starlight'...."
It was almost midnight when we got back to the bar.
Boss Qi greeted the guests behind the bar as usual, seeing him sitting at the table with a calm face in the dusty world, he pushed over a glass of juice.
"They left?"
"Ah."
"You didn't go to the airport to beat someone up, did you?"
Yao Lu drank the liquid in the cup without answering.
Boss Qi stared at him for a while, resting his chin, then suddenly reached out and knocked his head, but it didn't hurt very much.Yao Lu looked up at him.
"S just quit his job here before you came, saying that he is getting older and wants to go back to his hometown to live a stable life. They have left one or two, what are you going to do?"
The boy finally smiled faintly. "I've come to say goodbye to you, boss."
It was the first time he called him "Boss" so honestly, and Boss Qi couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise. "Don't tell me you're leaving too?"
"It's not 'go', it's 'back'." He lit a cigarette with a desolate expression, his brows and eyes blurred by the mist.
"I have thought about a lot of things on the way here. I know that I am restless in my bones, but no matter how hard people can be, they will be tired. Suddenly, I feel that I can't move anymore. Besides, I still owe the people around me so many."
Boss Qi watched this beautiful child quietly, his face full of indifference that didn't suit his age.
"My parents can't spend my whole life with me. Besides, compared to Qingcheng and the others, I'm already much happier. Just like what you said to Qingge, I may be... afraid that I will really regret it."
"Been worrying you all this time. Thank you, boss."
That night, Yao Lu stepped out of the gate of "Xun" without looking back.
The street at this time was as deserted as ever. Yao Lu walked briskly on the white line in the middle of the road, and when she raised her head inadvertently, she saw a bright moonlight.
Parting is actually not scary.
Because no matter how far the distance is, what is reflected in our eyes is still the same bright moon.

To prevent traffic jams on the next day, Ning Ziyue picked up the drowsy Yao Lu and rushed to the airport early in the morning. Unexpectedly, the traffic conditions were unexpectedly smooth, and it was more than an hour early.
Yao Lu immediately became unhappy, and kept moaning and cursing while passing through the security check, and the cloud of low air pressure was always hovering above her head.Ning Ziyue couldn't hold back a few times and wanted to push him into a corner, but he still kept his breath. Anyway, after returning to China, there will be opportunities...
After finally finishing all the formalities, Yao Lu's mood improved obviously after seeing the dazzling array of candies and chocolates in the duty-free shop inside, so she asked Ning Ziyue to pick one of each from the shelf, and he wanted to eat it on the plane.
"You don't think you should panic." Even though Ning Ziyue was reluctant, he had no choice but to carry it out. After all, this guy's blood sugar was always terribly low, so he was allowed to do whatever he wanted.
The fact is that as soon as the item was in his hand, Yao Lu couldn't wait to tear open the package and gobble it up. It's a pity that he slept with his eyes closed during breakfast - in the final analysis, it was all the fault of this guy in front of him!While thinking about him, he chewed viciously as if venting his anger, staring at the other party inexplicably, thinking he was choking.
"Drink some water. I think you feel salty when you eat it."
"No. I will."
Yao Lu angrily twisted her body to the other side of the seat, only to realize that the tall and familiar figure had been waiting beside her for a while.
Qingcheng avoided the unexpected gazes of the two in a little embarrassment, and coughed lightly.
"... What a coincidence. We met again."
Seeing his well-dressed and clean face, Yao Lu felt a little angry.The guy who was hungover the night before recovered really quickly, but he was exhausted for most of the night, and he ended up with such a premature ejaculation, damn it.
"Hehe. I ran into you in three of the seven days I went abroad. The probability is too evil." Yao Lu sneered, but she was not unhappy because of meeting him.
Qingcheng stared at him with his head down for a few seconds, then shifted his gaze to Ning Ziyue, smiling unnaturally.
"After waking up, I sort of remembered what happened last night. Thank you for sending me back, and... I'm sorry. In every way."
Yao Lu felt depressed when he heard it from the side.Brother, the person you pressed last night was me, not him, anyway, you should look at me when you apologize, right?
"It doesn't matter. You were not conscious at the time, and those who don't know are innocent." Over there, Ning Ziyue slightly nodded his head indifferently, expressing himself that he didn't take it to heart, seeing the hatred in Yao Lu's heart.Seeing this, Qingcheng couldn't help feeling a little admiration from the bottom of his heart, so he took advantage of the situation and made the next request.
"Also... I want to talk to Green alone, is it convenient?"
Not convenient, not convenient at all!
Yao Lu was vigilant, and subconsciously looked at Ning Ziyue's reaction, but he didn't expect that the other party still stood up from his seat with a look of detachment from the world. "I'll go over there."
Yao Lu still doesn't give up
