Cappuccino Rhapsody

Qi Xu was completely locked up at home, and every day there was indeed a special teacher to teach him, and he also thought about countless ways to escape, but he couldn't get out at all, so in desperation, Qi Xu had no choice but to stay at home temporarily So, it was only at night that I had a chance to contact Ling Jiangyuan with my mobile phone.

But Ling Jiangyuan seemed to be busy all of a sudden, and he rarely had time to chat with him, and it always took a long time to reply to messages.

Qi Xu made a video call to him, and only once did the other party answer it.

Ling Jiangyuan just took a shower, his hair was still dripping, looked at him seriously, and called his name: "Xiaoxu."

Qi Xu acted like a baby at him: "Why are you ignoring me?"

"There are too many things in school recently." Ling Jiangyuan rubbed his eyes wearily and said, "I...have very little time."

"Oh." Qi Xu asked, "How about the cappuccino?"

"...Not sure." Ling Jiangyuan said, "I haven't been there for a while."

Qi Xu frowned, his intuition was wrong, but he didn't think too much about it, instead he asked: "Why don't you find a chance to come over and get me out."

Ling Jiangyuan said helplessly: "Xiaoxu, stop making trouble, just stay at home, it's fine and safe. Besides, didn't your father find a teacher for you? Take it easy in the last month and work hard. , try to get into a better university, okay?"

Qi Xu could only nod his head in response.

For the next month, although Qi Xu and Ling Jiangyuan had very little contact, Qi Xu never forgot the agreement he made with Ling Jiangyuan after the college entrance examination, and even planned to give Ling Jiangyuan a surprise.

Qi Roujun bought him countless pieces of paper, which almost filled the head of the bed, scolding him as he carried it: "You are crazy, you don't study origami seriously, and you fold so many tricks."

"Sister, please help me." Qi Xu said, "Can you?"

Although Qi Roujun disliked him, he still felt sorry for him, so he finally nodded and said, "What can you do for me?"

In late May, Qi Xu finally finished all the origami. The last batch of folded paper flowers filled half the room. Qi Roujun secretly helped him put them in a bag and took them out. Qi Xiong almost found out.

These few days Qi Xu pretended to be good in front of Qi Xiong, but Qi Xiong didn't say much, just told him not to mess around, the exam is just a few days away.

Two days before the exam, Qi Xu completely lost contact with Ling Jiangyuan.

During this month, although Ling Jiangyuan was very busy and hardly had time to talk to him, the two chatted more or less every night, but this time Qi Xu hadn't contacted Ling Jiangyuan for two days.

Qi Xu made countless phone calls but was never answered. He had no choice but to suppress his thoughts because he promised Ling Jiangyuan that he would take the exam seriously, and he didn't dare to be distracted.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Qi Xu finally received two short words from Ling Jiangyuan, asking him to cheer.

Qi Xu went to the examination room.

At the end of the last course of the college entrance examination, there was a few days of heavy rain in S City, and it was rare to see a big sun. Qi Xu felt that God had opened a back door for him, so that his surprise could be realized faster.

Qi Roujun drove Qi Xu to the deserted playground in the suburbs, cursing while driving: "I really don't know why you are crazy, do you know that my old lady is almost exhausted because of you."

Qi Xu said: "Thank you, old lady. I love you."

Qi Roujun rolled his eyes: "However, the layout is pretty good, and you fold it well, it really looks like a sea of ​​flowers. But there is something wrong with you, you have to fold it yourself, isn't it convenient to buy it?"

Qi Xu looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, and smiled softly: "He is allergic to pollen."

"...Crazy." Qi Roujun muttered in a low voice.

The deserted playground has already been full of dust, only the ferris wheel that has been cleaned has a new look. It is completely different from the lifeless one in the past. Today, all the grass under the ferris wheel has been removed and replaced by origami flowers of different colors. There is a sea of ​​flowers.

The sun refracted one after another dazzling spots.

Qi Xu stayed up countless days and nights until three or four in the morning, and even his fingers were worn out.

Qi Roujun also had amazement in his eyes: "It's pretty, but it's really pretty... I've already asked someone to fix the Ferris wheel for you, and when the time comes, just press the switch over there."

"En. Thank you." Qi Xu suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned around and called Ling Jiangyuan.

No one heard.

When he heard the cold female voice from the other end of the phone, Qi Xu frowned suddenly, and a voice in his heart began to shout something, and Qi Xu suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qi Roujun asked him.

"I'm going for a cappuccino." Qi Xu put the phone in his pocket and said, "Sister, watch it for me."

Cappuccino was empty, and they walked through the long stairs to the basement. The three of Liu Jiajia were watching something around the computer. When they saw Qi Xu, Liu Jiajia's eyes lit up: "Hey, have you finished the exam? Come and see, what do you want?" The investor who helped us invest in the album made all our album plans out."

"Where's Ling Jiangyuan?" Qi Xu glanced at him, frowning tightly.

"It's been a long time since I saw him." Xie Congjia also frowned, "During this time, Jiang Yuan was always on the loose, and he didn't even put much thought into the release of the album, as if... it was in school. I'm a little busy."

Qi Xu pursed her lips, turned around and rushed home, the empty house was not at all popular, even the green plants were a little wilted, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.

There was only one last place Qi Xu could look for, and his body was shaking nervously.

He ran all the way, and when he reached the school gate, he couldn't stop panting heavily. The security man at the gate wanted to stop him, but he broke through the encirclement and rushed in.

Qi Xu ran to countless places in the school but couldn't find anyone. He shook his hands and took out his mobile phone to call Ling Jiangyuan, but saw a missed call from the other party.

Qi Xu took a breath, and was about to dial back when he suddenly heard Ling Jiangyuan's voice.

"Qi Xu!"

Qi Xu looked towards the prestige, not far away Ling Jiangyuan and Bai Ying were standing there together, both of them were dressed in white, like a couple.

Qi Xu ran forward in two or three steps, supported the tree trunk with both hands, and took a deep breath: "Why didn't you answer my phone?"

"Let's chat." Bai Ying said, "I'll avoid it for a while."

Ling Jiangyuan gave a "hmm", and then Bai Ying took a deep look at Qi Xu, who didn't know what came to her mind, and said "Sorry", before turning her head and leaving.

Qi Xu held Ling Jiangyuan's arm with one hand and asked, "Why didn't you answer my phone?"

"Finished the exam?" Ling Jiangyuan raised the corner of his mouth reluctantly, and smiled, "How did you go?"

He opened his legs and walked in the direction of the Lake of Love, Qi Xu followed, and retracted the hand that was thrown away by Ling Jiangyuan with some disappointment: "It's okay."

"It doesn't matter," Ling Jiangyuan said, "Whether you do well or poorly in the exam, at least you have worked hard during this time."

Qi Xu was embarrassed to say that he didn't work too hard and was not serious, so he might not be able to get into the undergraduate course.He just scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and changed the subject: "You know what, I just went to cappuccino, Xie Congjia and the others said that our album plan has come out, and the album name is being finalized."

Ling Jiangyuan was in a daze for a moment: "Really."

"Yeah." Qi Xu's face is full of expectations and ideas for the future, "If we are really famous, it doesn't matter if I go to college or not. Ling Jiangyuan, when the time comes, we can live together in a fair manner. After thinking about it, I'd better learn how to cook. When you go on stage, I will be behind the scenes. Of course, I have more free time. I will be your solid backing, the man behind you..."

"Xiao Xu..."

Qi Xu turned his head and saw Ling Jiangyuan's eyes looking at him, his eyes were filled with unexpected complicated and sad emotions.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Qi Xu interrupted him as if he realized it, and continued without stopping: "If you really think my cooking is not delicious, we can also I often go out to eat, but it may be inconvenient, after all, you are a big star."

Qi Xu also smiled: "By the way, you still remember that you told me before that you wanted to go to the playground—"

"Qi Xu." Ling Jiangyuan closed his eyes heavily, and finally interrupted him, "Let's break up."

Qi Xu's body froze there for an instant, but soon, he pretended he didn't hear anything, and continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go, I..."

"Let's break up." Ling Jiangyuan repeated again, reaching out to hold his arm, "Let's break up."

Qi Xu trembled all over, his eyes gradually shifted from the ground to his body, and then he repeated uncertainly: "Break up?"

"You said," Ling Jiangyuan said with a smile, "I'd better not just disappear, no matter what, at least I have to tell you. So I stayed until now."

Qi Xu wanted to say something, but a thousand words seemed to be blocked in his heart, and he couldn't even say a word.

"Xiaoxu, happy graduation." Ling Jiangyuan gently squeezed his shoulder, "Goodbye."

After Ling Jiangyuan finished speaking, he turned his head and wanted to leave.

But the moment he turned around, Qi Xu suddenly grabbed his wrist and pushed him back. Ling Jiangyuan was pressed against the tree trunk by Qi Xu, causing his back to hurt. Lightly frowned.

Qi Xu gritted his teeth and asked him, "Why?"

"There is no reason." Ling Jiangyuan turned his head away, not daring to look him in the eyes, "As you said, I really never liked you, and I have always been reluctant."

Qi Xu suddenly laughed, and his eyes turned slightly red with a smile: "Did you never like me? I don't believe it."

Ling Jiangyuan opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"If you haven't liked me, why should you be with me? If you have never liked me, since you could be with me before, why can't you be with me now?" Qi Xu said every word, almost pressing , "Why, tell me the real reason."

"Xiao Xu." Ling Jiangyuan closed his eyes, not daring to touch Qi Xu's red eyes, his body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying to restrain himself, and finally Ling Jiangyuan smiled softly, "Xiao Xu, I'm going to study abroad."

"I don't fucking mind exotic relationships!" Qi Xu broke out emotionally, "I can wait for you! I have already thought about it, if you really go abroad to study for a Ph. D., I can see you once a month or even once a week. It doesn't matter if I come to see you once, or I go abroad to accompany you to study for a Ph. D.!"

"Xiaoxu," Ling Jiangyuan's eyes were full of entanglement and struggle, he clenched his hands tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulged, and took a breath with difficulty, "This is my life, not your life."

"But damn it, I'm willing to let my life be entangled with your life. I'm willing to be a vine, can't I?" Qi Xu said word by word, "I don't want to break up, I don't agree."

Ling Jiangyuan watched him for a long time.

Probably because of being watched by such a pair of eyes, the panic in his heart reached an unbearable level, Qi Xu suddenly kissed Ling Jiangyuan's lips fiercely, biting the bloody taste.

But soon, Ling Jiangyuan pushed Qi Xu away suddenly, and looked at him with a hoarse voice: "Don't do this."

Qi Xu held his shoulder tightly: "I will accompany you to go abroad."

"Qi Xu!" Ling Jiangyuan's emotions finally exploded uncontrollably. He was trembling all over, trembling non-stop, and finally forced out a few words from his mouth.

"I'm getting married," he said.

The high sun shone brightly on the ground, making Qi Xu's eyes hurt. Under such a dazzling light, Qi Xu felt that he could not see Ling Jiangyuan's face clearly. He suddenly realized that he had never seen clearly before. Pass.He also never knew Ling Jiangyuan.

At that moment, the thousands of hypotheses in Qi Xu's mind all turned into illusions in the mirror, and could no longer be established.

Ling Jiangyuan doesn't like him, he can work hard to make him like him.

Ling Jiangyuan is going abroad, he can fly over to see him, or he can directly accompany him to read together.

Countless kinds of problems that Qi Xu thought could be solved disappeared in smoke the moment Ling Jiangyuan uttered these five words.

Qi Xu suddenly gave a low laugh with red eyes: "With whom?"

Ling Jiangyuan turned aside and said nothing.

"And Bai Ying?"

Ling Jiangyuan still didn't speak, but closed his eyes and nodded in acquiescence.

Qi Xu let go of his hand, took a step back, still smiling, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his heart.

The moment the other party let go of his hand, an indescribable emptiness and loss instantly flooded Ling Jiangyuan like a sluice flood. He couldn't help but gently stroked the arm that Qi Xu touched just now, and looked at Qi Xu seriously. Xu, said: "Xiao Xu, you are a proud person, don't... say such things again."

It is impossible for Qi Xu to be a vine, no matter who it is, he will not bother to attach it.

"You should be yourself, not anyone else." Ling Jiangyuan reached out his hand and tried to touch the other person's face lightly, but Qi Xu avoided him. He shook hands, retracted, and smiled softly, " Happy Graduation."

"Congratulations," Qi Xu looked at him, and said word by word, "You have achieved success in your studies, and you will embrace a beauty."

These were the last words Qi Xu said to Ling Jiangyuan that summer.

That summer was a very long summer for the graduates. They tore up all their books and threw them out standing in the sky. They had a carnival for three days and three nights. Spend my only free three months of life.

In the next few years, there may never be such an opportunity again, so I indulge myself to squander, to be chic, to be wanton.

But this summer, Qi Xu was different from everyone else.

He lost the most important person in his life, and finally waved goodbye to a dream he had in his youth.

It rained heavily that night, and Mr. Qi Rou called him countless times. Qi Xu squatted on the stairs outside the cappuccino and smoked, his hair was drenched, Xie Congjia remained silent, and Li Lang played the cappuccino. The broken guitar, Liu Jiajia smashed his keyboard, and threw Ling Jiangyuan's drum kit into the trash, stomping on it as if venting his anger.

When Qi Roujun called Qi Xu's cell phone and it was almost out of battery, Qi Xu finally answered the phone.

Qi Roujun's voice was angry and sharp: "Qi Xu, after all, you can't come here to surprise me. Your old sister is not a god under such heavy rain, and all your flowers have been watered to pieces!"

"Burn it." Qi Xu said calmly, "He doesn't want it anymore."

"..." Qi Roujun's voice gradually faded away from the other end of the phone, "Hello? What's the matter, are you here? Hello?"

Qi Xu's phone was completely dead.

He looked at the drumhead Liu Jiajia was stepping on, and after a long silence, he rushed forward and grabbed Liu Jiajia's arm.

Liu Jiajia scolded him: "Are you still protecting him?! He's always fucking like this, and for his own future, he abandoned us again! I will never forgive him again in my life."

Qi Xu said: "Gu is innocent." He sighed, "It's quite expensive."

This rain has been falling for a long time, and the water level has risen by several millimeters.

Qi Xu never went to that amusement park to see the melted and broken flowers again, just let them rot quietly in the past years.
