Cappuccino Rhapsody

Ling Jiangyuan's injury was not serious, and he was fine after the doctor bandaged it, but because the wound was infected and inflamed, he had a fever, so Ling Jiangyuan passed out temporarily.Qi Xu sent the doctor away and sat by the bed in a daze.

Ling Jiangyuan's face was so pale that there was no blood on it, dry skin appeared on his lips, and he looked very depressed.Qi Xu stretched out his hand and lightly touched the place where he bandaged the wound, and he flinched unbearably, letting out a soft moan.

Qi Xu stretched out his hand, rubbed his thumb lightly on the other's lips, he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Ling Jiangyuan suddenly opened his mouth and shouted something.

Qi Xu subconsciously leaned closer to listen, but heard the other party shouting "Xiao Xu" angrily.Qi Xu turned his head with complicated emotions, and looked at his non-aggressive face.Ling Jiangyuan called his name again, this time he seemed a little angry.

I don't know what kind of dream he was having.

Qi Xu just listened to Ling Jiangyuan calling his name indiscriminately, saying inexplicable things indiscriminately for several minutes, then stood up suddenly, pushed the door and walked out.

His mind was in turmoil.

As soon as the door was pulled in, a figure fell in all of a sudden, making an "ouch".

Lin Xieyang rubbed his elbow that hurt from the fall, and looked at Qi Xu with embarrassment: "...Then what, I just wanted to knock on the door."

Qi Xu glanced at her expressionlessly, pulled the little girl up, and gently closed the door.

Lin Xieyang followed behind Qi Xu uneasily: "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. At that time, I just thought about running away, and didn't think too much about it. Later, my brother found me and we walked back , I accidentally saw another place where lovers locked on the cliff over there. I originally wanted to go up... Uh, you know, but I slipped accidentally, and my brother pushed me in. He fell down by himself."

Qi Xu stopped at the end of the corridor, staring at the silent sea outside in a daze.

Lin Xieyang stood behind him: "I really just have good intentions, I want you and my brother to be able to..."

"Don't you like him?" Qi Xu asked without looking back after lighting a cigarette.

Lin Xieyang's face was a little distorted, and he coughed several times before calming down, and said: "I like him, but he doesn't like me, and it's impossible for him to like me."

Qi Xu didn't ask her why it was impossible, but just twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a bit of self-satisfaction: "Coincidentally, he doesn't like me either."

"?" Lin Xieyang's eyes widened, "How could he not like you?!"

Qi Xu didn't speak.

Lin Xieyang said: "My brother likes you! He told me himself before that he has always had someone he can't forget in his heart all these years. Who else could that person be if it wasn't you? Aren't you his ex-boyfriend? She paused, and said sincerely, "Although I don't know what kind of misunderstanding there is between you, I hope you can get back together quickly. Because my brother has never forgotten you for so many years."

Qi Xu suddenly smiled, he turned slightly sideways, looked at Lin Xieyang with dark eyes, and said in a flat tone, "The person you said can't be forgotten is probably Bai Ying, they just divorced not long ago."

Qi Xu didn't expect that he could say such a sentence so calmly.

The word "white baby" was mentioned so calmly.

Qi Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a self-satisfied smile: "Just like you, I used to think he liked me."

"...impossible." Lin Xieyang kept shaking his head.

Qi Xu didn't speak, his dark eyes couldn't see clearly his emotions.

Lin Xieyang continued: "Although it's true that I haven't met my brother for a long time, I'm quite clear about his previous affairs. And when my mother and I helped him with some things, I also read some of his information. .”

Speaking of this, Lin Xieyang nodded, raised his head with certainty, and looked at Qi Xu: "My brother has never been divorced, because he has never been married at all."

Qi Xu's hands trembled, and the soot fell to the ground. He raised his head to look at Lin Xieyang in bewilderment, with incredible shock in his eyes: "What?"

Lin Xieyang said affirmatively again: "Yes, my brother has never been married."

Late at night.

The moon by the sea is extraordinarily round, and the moonlight is extraordinarily bright.The lights were not turned on in the room, and Ling Jiangyuan felt a little like in a dream when he woke up.He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, the pain in his leg was very obvious.He gave a very soft "hmm", frowned and lightly touched the bandaged place.

Ling Jiangyuan reached out his hand to fumble for the switch of the light, and it turned on with a "pop", but saw a figure beside the bed, and gasped in fright.

Qi Xu looked at him and said nothing.

Ling Jiangyuan was frightened into a cold sweat: "Xiao Xu, why didn't you turn on the light?" He said in a slightly complaining voice, "I was scared out of my wits by you just now."

Qi Xu looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "Ling Jiangyuan, let me ask you a few questions."

"What?" Ling Jiangyuan half-lyed up and looked at him calmly, "You ask."

"When did you and Bai Ying have your wedding?" Qi Xu said, "Who did you invite?"

Ling Jiangyuan probably didn't expect Qi Xu to ask this kind of question, so he froze for a moment: "Why are you asking this?"

"Do you remember?" Qi Xu said, "How many people were invited? How many tables were there? Is it Chinese style or Western style?"

Ling Jiangyuan smiled strangely, and said, "I can't even respond to such a long list of questions you suddenly have."

"Answer me." Qi Xu looked at him almost questioningly, "How many tables have you invited, is it Chinese style or Western style? Where did you do it?"

"..." Ling Jiangyuan sighed helplessly, and said, "About ten or so tables. Western-style weddings, in...in country M."

Qi Xu's eyes darkened a bit, and he continued to ask: "When?"

"Probably after I changed departments. I was busy changing departments before." Ling Jiangyuan said, avoiding his sight.

"Who are there? Did your parents go?"

"How can I still remember?" Ling Jiangyuan said helplessly, "This was all eight years ago. Let alone eight years ago, if it was three years ago, I might not even remember clearly."

After Ling Jiangyuan finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.Ling Jiangyuan lowered his eyes for dozens of seconds, then raised his head a little uneasy, and met Qi Xu's eyes.

Qi Xu's pupils were extremely deep, and his brows were even more tightly furrowed, as if he was looking at something.

Ling Jiangyuan touched his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You can't answer," Qi Xu looked at him deeply, "Is it?"

"...I've already forgotten what I said." Ling Jiangyuan smiled awkwardly, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"You can't answer, and you even made up nonsense, and you didn't tell me the truth," Qi Xu said word by word, "At first, you said that the wedding was after you changed your department. As far as I know, it was seven years ago when you changed your department. You got married seven years ago. But later you said that you can’t remember what happened eight years ago. You said it was a Western-style wedding, so how could there be several tables and tables for a Chinese-style wedding... You are lying to me, Ling Jiangyuan.”

Qi Xu came to a conclusion: "You are not married at all."

Ling Jiangyuan froze all over, and his face paled suddenly.He took a breath, avoided Qi Xu's gaze, and said dodgingly: "What nonsense are you talking about, how could I not be married?"

Qi Xu stretched out his hand, covering the back of Ling Jiangyuan's hand, rubbing his thumb lightly, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "Ling Jiangyuan, what have you been doing abroad these past few years?"

Ling Jiangyuan remained silent, and even withdrew his hand, no longer accepting Qi Xu's touch.

Qi Xu stood up, his figure blocked the source of the light, and his whole body was shrouded in a halo, his eyes were extraordinarily powerful, and he looked at Ling Jiangyuan motionlessly, "Okay, then let me ask you another way - why did you want to Walk?"

Ling Jiangyuan's body shook violently, and finally said in a deep voice: "Don't ask any more questions, you won't want to know the answer."

It can be regarded as an indirect admission of the fact that he is indeed not married.

Qi Xu smiled inexplicably, and said word by word: "It's okay if you don't say it. I'll wait for the day when you take the initiative to say it."

Ling Jiangyuan didn't speak again.

During the last few days of leisure time on the island, Ling Jiangyuan spent lying down, including the flight back to China, and Qi Xu carried all the walking places along the way.Ling Jiangyuan was very embarrassed, but Qi Xu refused to let him go to the ground, so he could only trouble Qi Xu with a shy face.

After returning to S City, Qi Xu entered a very busy period.

Almost all the songwriting contracts he received had to be completed before the end of November, and Qi Xu only had one month to prepare, so he was naturally too busy, so when he realized that he had already When I haven't seen Ling Jiangyuan for a while, Ling Jiangyuan couldn't stand it anymore and came to him on his own initiative.

There were crumpled pieces of paper all over the floor, and there was no room for his feet, and Qi Xu felt a dull pain in his stomach.Opening the door and letting Ling Jiangyuan in, he frowned at the convenience: "How long has it been since you went out?"

Ling Jiangyuan opened the window to ventilate the room, and there was a cool wind blowing in from outside the window, and Qi Xu realized that the weather outside had completely turned cold.

Ling Jiangyuan packed the clothes on the sofa and threw them into the washing machine.After procrastinating again, he walked to his studio and asked, "What would you like to have for lunch?"

Qi Xu leaned on the chair, raised his hands and rubbed his temples: "Anything is fine."

Ling Jiangyuan felt like he came here to be a nanny, but he didn't complain.After looking at the ingredients in the refrigerator, I reckoned that I could make two bowls of tomato and egg noodles, so I started to prepare them.

After Ling Jiangyuan finished, he realized that Qi Xu was standing not far behind him, and he didn't know how long he had been looking at him.

"Have you finished?" he asked.

"No." Qi Xu shook his head, "Take a break."

"Well, I need to rest more." Ling Jiangyuan smiled, "People are like iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry. Have you missed several meals?"

Qi Xu took the bowl from Ling Jiangyuan's hand, without saying a word.

The two sat down on the table, Qi Xu ate the noodles, felt the tingling pain in his stomach eased, looked at Ling Jiangyuan who was eating the noodles, and suddenly asked: "Have you thought about it?"

"What?" Ling Jiangyuan looked up at him.

"Why did you go abroad in the first place." Qi Xu said, "Are you ready to tell me?"

Ling Jiangyuan lowered his eyes again.

He put down his chopsticks, and rubbed the back of his left hand with his thumb. After a long silence, he said, "Xiaoxu, don't ask. I don't want to say it."

Qi Xu sighed, feeling helpless: "It's up to you."

Ling Jiangyuan pursed his lips and continued to eat noodles, the two of them didn't speak any more.
