Flight of the Bumblebee

On the second day of the hangover, He Qi was woken up by the crazy phone ringing.He originally thought it was an alarm, but today was Sunday, so he could ignore it and buried his head in the pillow to continue sleeping.But the voice rang unrelentingly above his head, and he remembered that he had put his mobile phone on the bed yesterday, and now the whole bed was vibrating along with it, and his head buried under the pillow made a "buzzing" sound.He Qi sat up very unwillingly, without even opening his eyes.With a splitting headache, he reached for the phone from the bed, and before answering, he frowned and let out a long yawn.

But when he heard who was calling, he woke up in an instant, faster than a hundred cups of sober tea and cold water topping in the early morning.

"Boss...boss?" He stammered and asked the person on the phone, and put the screen of the phone in front of his eyes to identify it carefully. It was indeed the boss of the company.So early, could it be that he was asked to work overtime urgently?

He Qi's uneasy premonition was always accurate, and he put his ear to the receiver, and listened to the boss's orders with all his energy.The moment after hanging up the phone, he lay back on the bed in despair, and wailed sadly: "No way? Call me to work overtime again? Bad company! Dead boss! My head hurts like hell!"

If I had known earlier, I would have stopped drinking so much.

He covered his head, regretted getting out of bed, and suddenly realized one thing: where is Xing Yan?

Looking around, there is no him in the whole room, there are no dead spots in the room, besides, where can such a big man hide in the bare walls of the house?

"No way..." He was frightened twice in the morning: "Couldn't it be gone..."

He was still wearing last night's clothes, and his memory was fragmented after drinking, and he only remembered what he had been talking about.He didn't even take a shower, and his body smelled of alcohol, like the smell of alcohol after staying up all night in a ktv box.He Qi grabbed his collar and sniffed, his nose wrinkled reflexively.How can he bear it?How did you fall asleep like this?Fake alcohol harms people.He Qi took off all the clothes and pants on his body and threw them on the ground, leaving only a pair of underpants, and then took out more casual clothes from the closet. Anyway, he worked overtime on weekends, so it would be weird to dress too formally.

He opened the door and saw Xing Yan when he entered the bathroom. He fell asleep outside again, and he was still sleeping in the original position, leaning against the edge of the wall, so he didn't have time to look at him more.After a quick shower, he shook him awake.

Xing Yan opened his confused eyes and saw He Qi's wet head. The first thing he said when he woke up was: "You're taking a shower." Did not wake up.He Qi explained to him: "I'm going to work soon, you don't want to sleep here. I left some money for you, and you can go buy something to eat yourself. Also remember to go to the supermarket to buy pillows, bedding and mats. I may not sleep here until evening. return."

As soon as Xing Yan heard that he was coming back later, he immediately woke up: "Are you going to come back later?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" He Qi frowned and replied, Xing Yan's expression made him feel like he was talking to his son, leaving early and returning late?

Xing Yan sat up from the ground, stared blankly, and nodded mechanically.

He Qi reminded him: "Don't forget to put medicine on your face."

He listened, and nodded solemnly.

When He Qi went downstairs to catch the subway, he suddenly felt that the scene just now didn't look like he was talking to his son, but that the female boss was explaining everything to the little boy at home before leaving, and even asked about his health, which was so inconsiderate.He was disgusted by his own thoughts, and couldn't help shivering hard on the road.

The subway on weekend mornings is naturally not as crowded as on weekdays, but there are also many students who go shopping early in the morning during the holiday.He Qi drank too much last night and didn't grab a seat when he got on the train. Even though the subway was running smoothly, he felt uncomfortable holding the pillar.His stomach was aching, and he forgot to eat breakfast again.

After arriving at the company, the boss got mad at a new girl in the office.Everyone knew that the anger was not aimed at her, and the girl knew it herself, she was still crying like a mess behind the transparent glass door.There was a customer whose final payment of 10,000+ was not settled, and a lot of bad things happened, which made them have to work overtime urgently on weekends.The woman just made a small mistake in the report at this time and ran into the boss's gunpowder magazine.If you don't blow up, who will you blow up?

After He Qi sat down at the desk, the first thing he did was to turn on the computer, and then went to the tea room to make himself a pot of strong tea.A female colleague was also there, and chatted with him a few words, nothing more than asking him where he went to play yesterday, and complaining in a low voice that he had to work overtime when he got up in the morning.He Qi nodded with a smile, and she pointed in the direction of the office, telling He Qi the whole story.

This woman was born to gossip, she frothed wildly and passionately recounted what He Qi knew, as if there were people in this office who didn't understand what had happened.He Qi kept an awkward yet polite smile, and waited silently until she had finished speaking before returning to her seat with the cold tea in her hands.

The scolded girl came back, lying on the table and crying silently.He remembered that when a girl in the class was wronged in junior high school, it was the same.He felt sorry for them, both, but just as he stood up to pass a pack of tissues, there was someone nearby to comfort him.His concern was too late, every time.

The girl thanked the visitor, took out a piece of paper and wiped her crying face, and started typing on the computer again.He Qi happened to be sitting opposite, watching every subtle expression of hers.In fact, the girl was not as innocent as she appeared on the surface.

Everyone tapped the keyboard silently, how lonely they felt in this cold space.But he can hide it very well, and all his emotions are hidden in the constant sound of keyboards like everyone else.

Today ended uncharacteristically early, they got off work at five in the afternoon.When He Qi took the subway back to the small street, the sun had not yet set, and a beautiful sunset was rising on the long slope. He bought some cooked food on the side of the street, and when he came downstairs to the rental house, he saw Xing Yan squatting with a little girl Playing marbles on the ground, two people are asking and answering.

"Did you just move here? Why... why haven't I seen you before?" the little girl asked him childishly.

Xing Yan turned his back to He Qi, and said back to her: "I moved in the day before yesterday. My name is A Yan, what's your name?"

"My name is Niuniu." It turned out that she was the girl who played the piano downstairs every night, so she had met the real master.Looking at that innocent little face, He Qi couldn't help but want to rush over and pinch it.

"Hello, Niuniu." I didn't expect Xing Yan to be quite good at dealing with children, but won't he be misunderstood if he gets too close to a little girl as a big man?Won't you be beaten by your parents?A few days ago, he was complained to be on the list here, so He Qi felt that it was time to go forward and call him away.

"Are you good friends with that uncle upstairs?"

Uncle—uncle? !

His expression froze on his face, and the left leg he had just stepped out was pulled back abruptly.I think he is 23 years old, just the age for young talents to show their ambitions. The apple muscles on his face have not yet begun to wear away with time. He is still a good young man in society, so he will be called uncle so soon?He Qi really wanted to grab her shoulders and shake her awake: "Who did you call uncle just now? Who did you call uncle!?"

Xing Yan said briskly: "Yes, I live in his house now." Even if he couldn't see the front, He Qi knew that Xing Yan would definitely put on that smirking face at other children at this time, which didn't test his imagination , his tone has betrayed him.

The little girl flicked the blue glass beads on the ground with her hand, but because Xing Yan's body blocked her, she didn't see He Qi standing behind.

"But he never talks to me, he looks fierce." The girl complained to him.

"But you didn't take the initiative to talk to him." Xing Yan retorted her softly.

The girl lowered her head, poking the glass beads with her fingers and rolling them on the ground. Her voice was buried in her knees, sounding a little aggrieved: "Adults all look the same, and they are fierce when they talk or when they don't talk."

Xing Yan also imitated her appearance, squatting with his legs crossed, his chin resting on his knees, and said to her in a naive tone: "Not all adults have bad personalities, there are also very gentle people. Those who live with me That's..."

He Qi couldn't listen anymore, he suddenly said loudly from behind - "Hello!" interrupted Xing Yan's words.If you listen to him bragging with a child, this old face will be gone.

Xing Yan turned his head in surprise, showing the expression of being caught for doing something wrong, and his face turned red all of a sudden.He didn't expect He Qi to come back so early, how long has he been standing here?How much did he hear just now?

To their surprise, Niuniu was the one who reacted the most exaggeratedly among the three.Seeing He Qi was like seeing a ghost, she let out an emotionless scream, and ran upstairs while shouting "Wolf is coming! Wolf is coming!".Even Xing Yan was frightened by her, and stared blankly at her figure disappearing into the corridor.

"What's going on?" He Qi was also stunned, he looked at the girl's inexplicable behavior suspiciously, and couldn't understand it.

Xing Yan stood up from the ground, and said to He Qi with a face of embarrassment: "She seemed to be shocked when she saw you."

"I'm the one who was scared by her!" He Qi yelled at him with his eyes wide open, and then, as if he was holding his breath, he said to the stairs: "I haven't complained to her family about the noise yet, She is good, but on the other hand, I am fierce."

Xing Yan held back his smile, and tried his best to squeeze his lips tightly. He Qi suddenly turned his head to look at him. He immediately straightened his expression, and said quickly: "You are back, let's go back!"

What else could he say angrily, he had already walked towards the stairwell.

He Qi followed and asked him, "Why are you playing with that little girl? Aren't you afraid of being regarded as a pervert by her family?"

Xing Yan turned his head to look at him, and smiled back at him: "It's not the first time I met her, those days... I stood under the street lamp, and this little girl named Niuniu ran to the balcony every night Sometimes she talked to me, and sometimes threw things down. It was very loud in the middle of the night, and then she was carried back by her grandma. But she doesn’t seem to recognize me anymore.” Finally, he said regretfully.

"Throwing things down? Why are you so skinny? The parents don't discipline the bear boy well, it's disgusting!" He Qi said viciously.

"You can't blame her. Her parents didn't treat her very well. They either beat or scolded her. You lived upstairs and heard it. The couple quarreled last night as if they were going to kill someone. The girl is also very pitiful. "

Remembering last night, the drunken memories came back.He Qi asked him weakly: "Didn't I do anything shameful when I was drunk last night?"

"Shame? What shame?"

"Just getting drunk, talking nonsense, jumping around, climbing on roofs...etc?"

Xing Yan smiled: "It turns out that you are really drunk, I made a note of it."

"No..." He Qi ran up two steps, grabbed his arm, and asked him eagerly: "Just tell me if I...have..."

Xing Yan didn't know what his difficult words were, but he told the truth obediently: "You were drunk and then fell asleep."

He Qi didn't believe him, so he pulled him and asked, "Really? I really just fell asleep?"

Xing Yan nodded very positively.

He Qi said damn it, bit his thumbnail, and said to himself: "Fucking Lin You lied to me again!"

When I was in college, five people in the dormitory went out to drink one day, and he was the only one who was carried back drunk.The next day I had a splitting headache, and my memory of being drunk was completely gone.Lin You told him that he was very annoying when he was drunk, kissing anyone he caught, and jumping off the building yelling if he didn't give a kiss.To stop him, everyone sacrificed their precious first kiss, including the [-]-jin fat man, which made him sick for several months, and he didn't even dare to drink too much alcohol.

I haven't touched alcohol for a long time yesterday, and I accidentally became addicted to drinking on a whim, and I couldn't stop drinking.Only then did I get drunk, and when I woke up, I had a splitting headache and my memory was fragmented.

Damn Lin You lied to him for four years!If you don't cheat him out today, you'll write your name upside down!

That's how he is willing to "hurt a thousand people and hurt himself eight hundred".
