Meet, Yanguang Qiqi
Chapter 9 Su Chen
If you like me, it's okay to avoid me.But he clearly likes me.I don't understand, is it difficult for him to let me know that he likes me? "
Qi You was surprised by Xiao Can's words at first, and then he relaxed, and he said slowly, "San San, did you express your attitude clearly?"
Xiao Can nodded hesitantly, then shook his head again.
"Just like you said, you didn't want to say it because you thought Su Chen was working too hard and didn't want his feelings to be a burden to him. Then why doesn't he want his life and feelings to be a burden to you? You You should let him understand your thoughts and attitude... Although I think you are still young, maybe all your feelings are just a whim..."
"No!" Xiao Can was a little anxious, and then calmed down, "It's not a whim. I know, maybe in the eyes of you people, I am just a child who has just grown up. I have just started to get in touch with everything, and everything is very novel. But I I know what kind of person I am and what I think. I don't feel sorry for Su Chen, nor am I curious. I really like it."
Because of his tenacity and gentleness, but also because of his occasional depression and exhaustion.
Just because he is who he is.
It's really because of liking, not other messy emotions.
"Then go tell him, tell him, let him know."
Xiao Can nodded firmly, "I will go."
"Okay. What do you want to eat next?"
"Incense pot."
The two chatted and went to the cafeteria.
It's just that when Qi You was talking to Xiao Can, Xiao Yan's figure unconsciously popped up in his mind.
Like it?
After listening to Qi You's words, Xiao Can calculated the time when Su Chen got off work, so he went to the intersection of Su Chen's house to block Su Chen.
When Su Chen saw Xiao Can at the intersection, although he was stunned for a moment, he didn't show much surprise.
"Xiaocan... why are you here?"
"I'm not here, can I see you?"
Su Chen pursed his lips, "Xiaocan..."
"Why are you avoiding me?"
"I……"
"I like you."
Su Chen was stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.
"I know you always knew." Xiaocan didn't seem to expect Su Chen to say anything, and then continued, "It's just that I haven't said it myself, so you just pretend you don't know. This time I said it. Su Chen, I I like you. How about you?"
throbbing
Su Chen looked at Xiao Can quietly, unable to say a word.
Xiao Can looked straight at Su Chen, with never-before-seen firmness in his eyes.
After a while, Su Chen said slowly, "Xiao Can, you know, I like to get along with you, if possible, I would like to be your friend for the rest of my life, take care of you, protect you..."
"do you like me?"
Su Chen's words were interrupted by Xiao Can, who bit his lower lip.
"You like me too, right?" Xiao Can's words sounded like a question, but his tone was definitely affirmative.
"Xiao Can, I can take care of you, protect you, and be your lifelong friend, but I can't do anything else."
Xiao Can frowned, "Why." Xiao Can looked at Su Chen, "I don't want to ask anything else. I just want to know why. Why we can only be friends. After asking this sentence, I won't ask anything else. "
Just as Su Chen was about to speak, Xiao Can answered, "Su Chen, this is my last question. Don't lie to me."
Su Chen looked at Xiao Can, his eyes were already red, but he still had a calm look on his face.
Su Chen was so hurt by Xiao Can's eyes that he couldn't say those beautiful words that he made up.
"...Xiao Can, my whole life is like this. I will never leave City W again. You are different from me. You still have a wider world to explore and a better life."
For a long time after chatting with Xiao Can that day, Qi You felt a little dazed.
He knew that he wanted to meet Xiao Yan and was willing to get along with Xiao Yan.But I never thought about this feeling deeply.It was only when Xiao Can mentioned that he liked Su Chen that day that Qi You began to think, maybe... he also likes Xiao Yan?
So when Li Qian called and said that he would help Xiao Yan celebrate his birthday on the weekend, Qi You agreed without thinking.
He wanted to face Xiao Yan in person to see if he really liked it.
Said it was a birthday, but in fact it was just a few of them eating, drinking and having fun together.
"I can't help it," Li Gan hung Xiao Yan's neck, "This guy thinks that it's noisy in a crowd of people, so we've always been together. This year, I'll bring you one more."
Qi You smiled and looked at Xiao Can.
Although his own business is very important, Qi You still cares about what Xiao Can said before.
Xiao Can is very different recently.
The whole person seemed to be more outgoing, participated in more activities, waited for Su Chen, or took Su Chen's school bus less often.
Qi You was a little worried. In his heart, he didn't want any bad news from Xiao Can's side.
"Ok?"
As soon as Qi You's words came out of his mouth, Xiao Can smiled, "We're fine." Xiao Can's smile was unprecedentedly brilliant, "He wants me to have a better future for my own good. I know. I don't want to either. There is no point in arguing with him. I just want to use my actions to let him know that I like City W very much and am willing to stay in City W for the rest of my life. Besides, my major can also develop well in City W. I don’t need What he says now, he just needs to watch. Su Chen can work hard for a better future. I believe Su Chen is a person who will work hard for the people he cherishes. What I have to do is to let him know that I can good."
Qi You nodded.
Xiao Can lowered his head and laughed again, "So I don't bother to look for him at school now. I just move to live with him."
Qi You widened his eyes.
Xiao Can just smiled and stopped talking.
Xiao Yan watched his younger brother and Qi You whispering beside him, but didn't say a word.
Li Gan raised his eyebrows, "What?"
Xiao Yan shook his head.
Li Gan pouted.
A few people ate at the restaurant they had reserved, and went to sing next to them with unfulfilled desires. It was already late when the show ended.
"Xiaoyou, don't go back. It's not easy to go back so late. Why don't you go to me..."
"Go to our house." Before Li Qian could finish speaking, Xiao Yan continued.
Qi You was stunned for a moment. In fact, he didn't have a chance to talk to Xiao Yan alone all night. After all, there were only a few people. Li Gan either chatted with him or Xiao Yan, and he didn't set aside time for the two of them to chat privately. .
Qi You thought about it and agreed.
After Qi You cleaned up in the evening, Xiao Yan took him to the guest room to rest. When Xiao Yan was about to leave, Qi You pursed his lips, "Brother Yan, I want...to talk to you."
Qi You was about to speak when the phone rang.
Qi You picked up the phone and frowned.
Xiao Yan greeted him and went out.
Qi You pursed his lips, "Hello?"
"Hey, Youyou, isn't it time for vacation, are you coming back?"
"I……"
"Two days ago, I went back to my hometown with your father to see your grandparents. Your grandparents said that you haven't come back for a long time, and they all miss you."
Qi You bit his lower lip fiercely, "...Okay."
anonymous mail
Before I knew it, time passed by like this.Even if Qi You didn't want to, he wanted to go home.
Packing up, tidy up.boarding.get off.go home.This kind of operation has been repeated countless times during Qi You's years of studying abroad.Qi You has long been used to it.
Just like he was used to going home, the group of people who shouted for him to go home every day didn't give him much response.
"Youyou, go down and see your aunt. Your aunt knows you're back."
Qi You was sitting in front of the computer translating documents, when he heard what his mother said, he pursed his lips, "...OK."
Qi You doesn't like to go this way.
It's not because I don't want to go to my aunt's house.
Although Qi You didn't want to go out, he wasn't really unwilling to see his relatives.
After all, the only warmth I ever felt came from them.
but……
"Qi You?"
Qi You trembled when he heard the voice, then turned around and said with a smile, "Ji Xu? Such a coincidence?"
Ji Xu smiled, "Is it a coincidence? Our house is nearby, so we met normal ones... When did you come back?"
"The last two days."
Ji Xu came over and wanted to grab Qi You's shoulders, but Qi You avoided it calmly, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
"Okay... By the way, the class reunion is going to see the teacher recently, are you going?"
"I'll give it up." Qi You smiled politely, "I can't stay at home for a few days before I have to leave."
Ji Xu was taken aback, "Is it in such a hurry?"
"Hmm... in the experimental mission."
"Okay. Let's get together next time we have a holiday."
"Ok."
After finishing speaking, Qi You walked away without waiting for Ji Xu to say anything else.
This incident was just a small episode, Qi You didn't take it to heart.
A few days later he excused himself to return to school.
"I thought you'd be at home a long time."
Because it was still early for Qi You to return to school, and Xiao Yan had nothing to do, so he went to the school to see him.
"It wasn't a big deal at first. I just went back to see my grandma and grandpa. There are... quite a lot of people at home. I am also a burden at home, so I came back early."
Xiao Yan nodded, "Then what's next?"
"Dormitory, cafeteria, library? I haven't thought about it. Anyway, I'm waiting for school to start."
"Xiaoyou." Xiao Yan looked at him seriously, "Go to our house."
"what?"
"I said, go to our house for a while. I can take you to play."
"This...isn't it convenient..."
"What did you want to say that day. It was the day your mother called."
Qi You pursed his lips and did not speak.
"That day, you wanted to tell me something."
"I……"
"Xiaoyou. I like you."
Qi You stared wide-eyed, staring at Xiao Yan in a daze.
"I like you. I know you like me too. So, Xiaoyou. Give me a chance, give us some time to get along, how about?"
Qi You didn't know how to answer Xiao Yan's words for a while.
He likes Xiao Yan.And Xiao Yan also liked him.
What I thought would take a lot of courage to say, was just said by Xiao Yan.Qi You was in a daze for a moment.He felt that he should accept Xiao Yan's suggestion no matter from which aspect.
But then he froze.Apart from looking at Xiao Yan foolishly, he didn't know what he could do.
Xiao Yan seemed to see through Qi You's heart, smiled and said, "Then you go back and pack up, we'll go together later."
Qi You and Xiao Yan were strolling in the street, another email came to Qi You's cell phone.
In fact, shortly after Qi You received the friend application, Qi You always received anonymous emails.There is nothing in it, only Qi You's name.Qi You didn't take it seriously.But after so long, emails are sent more and more frequently.
Seeing the email on Qi You's phone, Xiao Yan frowned, "I still don't know who it is?"
Qi You shook his head, "I block the mailbox every time, but I will still receive the same content next time. I don't know who it is."
"It's so strange... it should be someone you know."
Qi You pursed his lips, "It should be... But I can't think of who it is... Anyway, it's just an email, I don't care... Don't worry too much..."
"I'll get it next time... I'll ask you to check it for you."
"Don't bother... If he really wanted to trouble me, he wouldn't just send me an email... What are you talking about taking me?"
Xiao Yan saw that Qi You didn't want to talk more, so she didn't insist on telling him about the email, but she still made an extra note in her heart.
Confession
After talking about liking, Qi You thought that he and Xiao Yan were together.
It's not because he doesn't think much about it, it's because in Qi You's view, if two people like each other and speak out, they should be considered together.
So, Xiao Yan asked him out, brought him some small gifts, came to see him specially on Saturday, and sent him to the station on Sunday, Qi You always took it for granted that it was a normal process of two people's relationship.
Knowing that one day when I went to Li Kun's home to make up lessons, I met Li Gan who happened to be home.
"Hi, you're here." Li Gan greeted casually.
"En." Qi You also casually replied.
"Oh, today I will send you...to your school with Tong'er. Did you tell Tang'er?"
"I've already said it." As soon as the notice that Xiao Yan was going to J University came out, Xiao Yan told Qi You.
"Okay... By the way, there is another girl with us, you know?"
"...I don't know, I just know it's three people."
"Oh..." Li Gan was silent for a moment, "That girl..." Li Qian seemed to want to say something, and didn't seem to intend to elaborate on it with Qi You, but Qi You still understood what Li Gan meant.
Girls should like Xiao Yan.
However, Qi You didn't think it was a big problem.
Xiao Yan is dazzling, his ability and strength are worthy of being liked by others.
It's normal for many people to like him.Qi You will be uncomfortable, but he will not have any bad emotions about it.Because Xiao Yan likes him.Like he also likes Xiao Yan.Since two people like each other, the likes of others are nothing.
"..." Li Gan didn't know which muscle was wrong, and sat down again, with the melancholy of an elder, "I know, this guy is boring. Maybe you young people think he is boring. But he is really a very good person. He is handsome and dedicated. He has never been tempted by others in all these years, only you..."
Qi You blinked, "Brother Tian, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Li Gan scratched his head, "I just want...you should agree to be with Tanger earlier...he..."
"Don't we know we're together?"
Now it was Li Gan's turn to be confused, "Huh?"
"Is there something about us that makes you think we're not together?"
"No...you don't look like you are together...Isn't Tianer chasing you?"
Qi You continued to blink.
"Tong'er often visits you, and you came to our house because of you...Tong'er told me before that he wanted to get more money...Aren't you investigating him?"
Qi You showed a dumbfounding expression, but he also seriously thought about the relationship between the two of them.
At the beginning Qi You's confession was snatched by Xiao Yan, Qi You tacitly agreed in his heart that the two liked each other, so he never expressed his heart.
Because Xiao Yan always took the initiative to approach him, Qi You took it for granted and forgot that he should also take the initiative to approach him.
Looking back at the relationship between the two of them some time ago, it seems that the love in my heart has never been truly expressed.
Qi You bit his lower lip, it seemed that he really should express his thoughts.
Li Qian didn't know what Qi You was thinking.
Xiao Yan didn't know either, but on the way to J University, Xiao Yan felt that Qi You was sticky a lot.
Although he was puzzled, it did not prevent Xiao Yan from happily accepting all this.
Xiao Yan still lived in the previous hotel, and after Qi You helped him pack his things, Xiao Yan sent him back to the dormitory.
Along the way, both of them were talking and laughing, until they reached a certain intersection, Qi You frowned as if he had noticed something.
Xiao Yan looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Qi You didn't intend to hide it, "In fact, after I came back, I always felt that someone was following me..."
Xiao Yan didn't look back, "Well then, you go ahead at the next intersection, and I'll turn over."
"it is good."
So the two separated.When Xiao Yan walked into the dark, he stopped and hid.
Sure enough, he saw someone following Qi You.
Xiao Yan didn't talk too much nonsense, he rushed over and grabbed that person.
The man didn't seem to realize that someone would rush out, he was stunned for a moment, and then tried his best to break free and run away.
Qi You had already turned back when Xiao Yan rushed out, "Ji Xu? Are you here?" After a moment of silence, his face darkened instantly, "You sent the email?"
"Xiaoyou..." Ji Xu put on an innocent expression, "I just came to see you."
Qi You frowned, "What are you looking at me for? Ji Xu...you must be sick."
"Xiaoyou..."
"Don't. Don't call me that. I'm disgusting."
Ji Xu sneered, "Why. You can't pretend to be upright on my side..." Turning his head and glanced at Xiao Yan, this guy can do it?He's not on my mind. "
Xiao Yan ignored Ji Xu's words and asked Qi You, "Who is he?"
Qi You frowned even deeper, "A junior high school classmate."
Xiao Yan looked at Qi You's expression, frowned, and said, "Following him late at night, who knows what this person is going to do. Send him to the security room first."
Ji Xu seemed to be furious, "Qi You! You can't do this to me!"
Qi You frowned, "Why did I treat you? Why can't I treat you differently? Ji Xu, don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say these words?"
"Xiaoyou...Obviously we are best friends...Obviously the people around you should be mine...Why are you..."
"Ji Xu, can you stop saying those disgusting things? You will only make me feel more disgusted."
Ji Xu suddenly laughed loudly, and looked at Xiao Yan, "You two together? Have you slept? Touched? Let me tell you..."
Qi You punched him, "Ji Xu, you are so disgusting."
Xiao Yan still sent Ji Xu to the security room.He didn't send it directly to the police station, because he really hasn't done anything yet.
During this period, Qi You stayed outside the door of the security room.
Xiao Yan came out from the door and saw Qi You in a daze outside the door, so he didn't bother him immediately.
Qi You seemed to have sensed it, and immediately turned around after Xiao Yan stood still, looking at Xiao Yan.He walked in front of Xiao Yan again.
"I have nothing to do with him. I don't think there is anything."
Xiao Yan looked at Qi You's frown, raised his hand to smooth out those lines, "I know."
It's nothing more than unrequited love and psychologically twisted dramas.It's not for nothing that Xiao Yan is a few years older than Qi You, he can think of it, and he can digest it by himself.
Qi You didn't want to let the topic go so unclearly, "We had a good relationship when we were in junior high school. I often lived at my aunt's house. Their house is close, so I often went to their house to do my homework."
Once when I was doing homework at his home, Qi You fell asleep because he was too tired. He seemed to hear some strange voice in a daze. He opened his eyes and listened to the sound in Ji Xu's computer. Seeing Ji Xu's movements, Qi You was startled. Jump and run away.Qi You couldn't say anything after that.Because Ji Xu had a computer turned on in front of him.But Qi You couldn't pretend that there was nothing, because Qi You clearly remembered that when he opened his eyes, Ji Xu was staring straight at him.It's not that he was worried about being stared at by his friends, that stare was so straightforward that Qi You couldn't pretend nothing happened.So from then on, Qi You tried to avoid Ji Xu as much as possible.
"So, when I think about recent events, those previous events come back to my mind." Qi You frowned again, "I feel sick."
How can there be no psychological burden at all, a junior high school student, witnessed his good friend staring at him, doing that kind of thing.
Xiao Yan sneered, "You guys are quite precocious..."
"..."
The point is this?
"You are different." Qi You looked at Xiao Yan, as if thinking of something, "You are different...Brother Yan." Qi You pursed his lips, "You won't be disgusting...I like you. That's why you are not disgusting .”
Whatever you try to do won't make me feel bad.
future
On Saturday morning, the long-lost sunshine was very good, Qi You looked at the direction where the sun was rising, squinted his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, turned and walked towards the laboratory.
As soon as he entered the laboratory, Shen Jia pulled him, "You came just in time, the teacher will do a demonstration experiment next Monday, you can help the teacher try the plan and see if it works."
Qi You nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, are you busy tomorrow night?"
Qi You raised the corner of his mouth, "Yes...a friend is here."
"Okay." Shen Jia didn't seem to pay attention to Qi You's small movements, "I wanted to invite you to have dinner in the laboratory tonight."
Qi You smiled, "Then there's no need... Besides, it's really inappropriate for me to go."
Shen Jia nodded, didn't say anything more, and continued to do her own thing.
Qi You looked at the experimental plan, searched for the things to be used in the laboratory, responded, and did the experiment. After confirming that there was no problem, he entered the lounge, "Senior Sister, the plan is fine."
"Well... by the way, your phone rang several times just now, you can take a look."
Qi You froze for a moment, "Okay."
Seeing the numerous missed messages on the phone screen, Qi You walked out of the laboratory, stood in the corridor next to him, and dialed the phone, "What's wrong?"
"Happy birthday."
Qi You smiled slightly, "Didn't you already send a message?"
At 00:56 in the morning, although Qi You thinks it is more likely to be a coincidence.
"The text message is a ceremony. What should be said, I still have to speak. I will finish here soon, and I will come to your school at about one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and then I will look for you. I will go with Xiaokun every day. After all, it is your birthday. We still have to celebrate you."
Qi You pursed his lips, "Is it convenient?"
"What's the inconvenience? Anyway, Xiaokun is with Tiantian. How convenient."
Qi You nodded, thinking that Xiao Yan wouldn't be able to see, "Okay... that's right. Sansan will come at night."
"Isn't that what it should be? My sister-in-law celebrates her birthday, how can he not?"
Qi You pretended not to hear the sister-in-law, "I asked him to bring Su Chen along."
As soon as this sentence was finished, Xiao Yan was silent for a while, and then said, "It's his own business. He knows it well, and I won't interfere too much."
"Ah."
Xiao Yan's laughter came from the phone, "See you later."
"Ah."
When Xiao Yan came over in the afternoon, Qi You and Xiao Can went to pick him up.
Qi You looked at Xiao Can, "Where's Su Chen?"
Xiao Can kept a gentle look on his face, "He can only come here after get off work."
"How are you doing now?"
Xiao Can pursed his lips and smiled, "What's the matter? I live under the same roof with him now, and Xiao Xiao and Su's mother are standing by my side... He used to pretend to sleep on the sofa, but after the holiday, he was killed by Su." Mom rushed into the bedroom." At this point, Xiao Can's expression became sincere, "I know what he's doing, and he also knows what I'm doing. He knows what he should do to be really good for me. So... ..." Xiao Can said with a smile, "Now he does whatever I ask him to do, and he doesn't dare to say anything that is good for me."
Looking at Xiao Can's expression, Qi You knew that they must be fine now.
Indeed, two people who are obviously in love, why bother to give up the emotions they have now for the future that may not necessarily exist.Instead of worrying about gains and losses because of unknown things, it is better to work hard for a better future.
"He is already preparing for the adult college entrance examination... He is indeed very smart, and he can learn many things very quickly." Xiao Can said half-jokingly, "I guess if he didn't drop out at the beginning, it would be because I am not good enough for him. "
Qi You smiled, and chatted with Xiao Can about other things.
The two of them didn't talk for long, when Xiao Yan and Li Gan arrived.
When he first arrived, Li Gan was still teasing as always, "Oh, how come the birthday star came to pick him up."
Xiao Yan glanced at him, "It's not like I came here specifically to pick you up."
Li Gan choked for a moment, "Yes."
Several people greeted a few more casually, and then set off to the reserved place together.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Can received a message, "Su Chen is coming soon, I'll wait for him at the door, you go in first."
Xiao Yan glanced at him, did not speak, and led a few people in.
The place they were looking for was on the third floor of a restaurant. There were places to eat and play in the boxes.Of course, the reason why Xiao Yan had to book this place was because there was a stage where he could sing in the box.Guitars are also available for hire.
Although it was for Qi You's birthday, the young men were not so formal, so they just said happy birthday and started to eat and play.
When the commotion was almost over, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up, picked up the guitar that had been standing next to him early in the morning, and sat on the table next to it.
"I haven't known Qiqi for a long time."
Several people looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting on the stage.
Qi You pursed his lips.
The name Qi Qi was used by Xiao Yan some time ago. Qi You didn't know why, but he didn't ask too much.
"I never knew why I liked Qiqi. I always liked it out of nowhere. If I want to thank... Maybe I should thank that ID card?"
Several people present laughed out loud.
Xiao Yan also smiled, and continued, "We don't seem to have many deep memories between us, but there seem to be a lot of memories... I can't sing well, but I still want to use this song to let Qiqi know...the relationship between us Everything that happened during this time... is also engraved in my heart. In the future, no matter where you go, I will accompany you."
Qi You pursed his lips and didn't say a word, or rather, couldn't say a word.
The guitar sounded.
Qi You had seen the guitar in Xiao Yan's room before, but never thought that one day, Xiao Yan would give himself a song.
Accompanied by Xiao Yan's singing, Qi You recalled the first time the two met.
"Just swipe the ID card next to it."
It seems that the ID card was not swiped on the machine at the subway entrance, but swiped in the hearts of two people.
Qi You raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were on Xiao Yan on the stage.
And their future.
【End of text】
Qi You was surprised by Xiao Can's words at first, and then he relaxed, and he said slowly, "San San, did you express your attitude clearly?"
Xiao Can nodded hesitantly, then shook his head again.
"Just like you said, you didn't want to say it because you thought Su Chen was working too hard and didn't want his feelings to be a burden to him. Then why doesn't he want his life and feelings to be a burden to you? You You should let him understand your thoughts and attitude... Although I think you are still young, maybe all your feelings are just a whim..."
"No!" Xiao Can was a little anxious, and then calmed down, "It's not a whim. I know, maybe in the eyes of you people, I am just a child who has just grown up. I have just started to get in touch with everything, and everything is very novel. But I I know what kind of person I am and what I think. I don't feel sorry for Su Chen, nor am I curious. I really like it."
Because of his tenacity and gentleness, but also because of his occasional depression and exhaustion.
Just because he is who he is.
It's really because of liking, not other messy emotions.
"Then go tell him, tell him, let him know."
Xiao Can nodded firmly, "I will go."
"Okay. What do you want to eat next?"
"Incense pot."
The two chatted and went to the cafeteria.
It's just that when Qi You was talking to Xiao Can, Xiao Yan's figure unconsciously popped up in his mind.
Like it?
After listening to Qi You's words, Xiao Can calculated the time when Su Chen got off work, so he went to the intersection of Su Chen's house to block Su Chen.
When Su Chen saw Xiao Can at the intersection, although he was stunned for a moment, he didn't show much surprise.
"Xiaocan... why are you here?"
"I'm not here, can I see you?"
Su Chen pursed his lips, "Xiaocan..."
"Why are you avoiding me?"
"I……"
"I like you."
Su Chen was stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.
"I know you always knew." Xiaocan didn't seem to expect Su Chen to say anything, and then continued, "It's just that I haven't said it myself, so you just pretend you don't know. This time I said it. Su Chen, I I like you. How about you?"
throbbing
Su Chen looked at Xiao Can quietly, unable to say a word.
Xiao Can looked straight at Su Chen, with never-before-seen firmness in his eyes.
After a while, Su Chen said slowly, "Xiao Can, you know, I like to get along with you, if possible, I would like to be your friend for the rest of my life, take care of you, protect you..."
"do you like me?"
Su Chen's words were interrupted by Xiao Can, who bit his lower lip.
"You like me too, right?" Xiao Can's words sounded like a question, but his tone was definitely affirmative.
"Xiao Can, I can take care of you, protect you, and be your lifelong friend, but I can't do anything else."
Xiao Can frowned, "Why." Xiao Can looked at Su Chen, "I don't want to ask anything else. I just want to know why. Why we can only be friends. After asking this sentence, I won't ask anything else. "
Just as Su Chen was about to speak, Xiao Can answered, "Su Chen, this is my last question. Don't lie to me."
Su Chen looked at Xiao Can, his eyes were already red, but he still had a calm look on his face.
Su Chen was so hurt by Xiao Can's eyes that he couldn't say those beautiful words that he made up.
"...Xiao Can, my whole life is like this. I will never leave City W again. You are different from me. You still have a wider world to explore and a better life."
For a long time after chatting with Xiao Can that day, Qi You felt a little dazed.
He knew that he wanted to meet Xiao Yan and was willing to get along with Xiao Yan.But I never thought about this feeling deeply.It was only when Xiao Can mentioned that he liked Su Chen that day that Qi You began to think, maybe... he also likes Xiao Yan?
So when Li Qian called and said that he would help Xiao Yan celebrate his birthday on the weekend, Qi You agreed without thinking.
He wanted to face Xiao Yan in person to see if he really liked it.
Said it was a birthday, but in fact it was just a few of them eating, drinking and having fun together.
"I can't help it," Li Gan hung Xiao Yan's neck, "This guy thinks that it's noisy in a crowd of people, so we've always been together. This year, I'll bring you one more."
Qi You smiled and looked at Xiao Can.
Although his own business is very important, Qi You still cares about what Xiao Can said before.
Xiao Can is very different recently.
The whole person seemed to be more outgoing, participated in more activities, waited for Su Chen, or took Su Chen's school bus less often.
Qi You was a little worried. In his heart, he didn't want any bad news from Xiao Can's side.
"Ok?"
As soon as Qi You's words came out of his mouth, Xiao Can smiled, "We're fine." Xiao Can's smile was unprecedentedly brilliant, "He wants me to have a better future for my own good. I know. I don't want to either. There is no point in arguing with him. I just want to use my actions to let him know that I like City W very much and am willing to stay in City W for the rest of my life. Besides, my major can also develop well in City W. I don’t need What he says now, he just needs to watch. Su Chen can work hard for a better future. I believe Su Chen is a person who will work hard for the people he cherishes. What I have to do is to let him know that I can good."
Qi You nodded.
Xiao Can lowered his head and laughed again, "So I don't bother to look for him at school now. I just move to live with him."
Qi You widened his eyes.
Xiao Can just smiled and stopped talking.
Xiao Yan watched his younger brother and Qi You whispering beside him, but didn't say a word.
Li Gan raised his eyebrows, "What?"
Xiao Yan shook his head.
Li Gan pouted.
A few people ate at the restaurant they had reserved, and went to sing next to them with unfulfilled desires. It was already late when the show ended.
"Xiaoyou, don't go back. It's not easy to go back so late. Why don't you go to me..."
"Go to our house." Before Li Qian could finish speaking, Xiao Yan continued.
Qi You was stunned for a moment. In fact, he didn't have a chance to talk to Xiao Yan alone all night. After all, there were only a few people. Li Gan either chatted with him or Xiao Yan, and he didn't set aside time for the two of them to chat privately. .
Qi You thought about it and agreed.
After Qi You cleaned up in the evening, Xiao Yan took him to the guest room to rest. When Xiao Yan was about to leave, Qi You pursed his lips, "Brother Yan, I want...to talk to you."
Qi You was about to speak when the phone rang.
Qi You picked up the phone and frowned.
Xiao Yan greeted him and went out.
Qi You pursed his lips, "Hello?"
"Hey, Youyou, isn't it time for vacation, are you coming back?"
"I……"
"Two days ago, I went back to my hometown with your father to see your grandparents. Your grandparents said that you haven't come back for a long time, and they all miss you."
Qi You bit his lower lip fiercely, "...Okay."
anonymous mail
Before I knew it, time passed by like this.Even if Qi You didn't want to, he wanted to go home.
Packing up, tidy up.boarding.get off.go home.This kind of operation has been repeated countless times during Qi You's years of studying abroad.Qi You has long been used to it.
Just like he was used to going home, the group of people who shouted for him to go home every day didn't give him much response.
"Youyou, go down and see your aunt. Your aunt knows you're back."
Qi You was sitting in front of the computer translating documents, when he heard what his mother said, he pursed his lips, "...OK."
Qi You doesn't like to go this way.
It's not because I don't want to go to my aunt's house.
Although Qi You didn't want to go out, he wasn't really unwilling to see his relatives.
After all, the only warmth I ever felt came from them.
but……
"Qi You?"
Qi You trembled when he heard the voice, then turned around and said with a smile, "Ji Xu? Such a coincidence?"
Ji Xu smiled, "Is it a coincidence? Our house is nearby, so we met normal ones... When did you come back?"
"The last two days."
Ji Xu came over and wanted to grab Qi You's shoulders, but Qi You avoided it calmly, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
"Okay... By the way, the class reunion is going to see the teacher recently, are you going?"
"I'll give it up." Qi You smiled politely, "I can't stay at home for a few days before I have to leave."
Ji Xu was taken aback, "Is it in such a hurry?"
"Hmm... in the experimental mission."
"Okay. Let's get together next time we have a holiday."
"Ok."
After finishing speaking, Qi You walked away without waiting for Ji Xu to say anything else.
This incident was just a small episode, Qi You didn't take it to heart.
A few days later he excused himself to return to school.
"I thought you'd be at home a long time."
Because it was still early for Qi You to return to school, and Xiao Yan had nothing to do, so he went to the school to see him.
"It wasn't a big deal at first. I just went back to see my grandma and grandpa. There are... quite a lot of people at home. I am also a burden at home, so I came back early."
Xiao Yan nodded, "Then what's next?"
"Dormitory, cafeteria, library? I haven't thought about it. Anyway, I'm waiting for school to start."
"Xiaoyou." Xiao Yan looked at him seriously, "Go to our house."
"what?"
"I said, go to our house for a while. I can take you to play."
"This...isn't it convenient..."
"What did you want to say that day. It was the day your mother called."
Qi You pursed his lips and did not speak.
"That day, you wanted to tell me something."
"I……"
"Xiaoyou. I like you."
Qi You stared wide-eyed, staring at Xiao Yan in a daze.
"I like you. I know you like me too. So, Xiaoyou. Give me a chance, give us some time to get along, how about?"
Qi You didn't know how to answer Xiao Yan's words for a while.
He likes Xiao Yan.And Xiao Yan also liked him.
What I thought would take a lot of courage to say, was just said by Xiao Yan.Qi You was in a daze for a moment.He felt that he should accept Xiao Yan's suggestion no matter from which aspect.
But then he froze.Apart from looking at Xiao Yan foolishly, he didn't know what he could do.
Xiao Yan seemed to see through Qi You's heart, smiled and said, "Then you go back and pack up, we'll go together later."
Qi You and Xiao Yan were strolling in the street, another email came to Qi You's cell phone.
In fact, shortly after Qi You received the friend application, Qi You always received anonymous emails.There is nothing in it, only Qi You's name.Qi You didn't take it seriously.But after so long, emails are sent more and more frequently.
Seeing the email on Qi You's phone, Xiao Yan frowned, "I still don't know who it is?"
Qi You shook his head, "I block the mailbox every time, but I will still receive the same content next time. I don't know who it is."
"It's so strange... it should be someone you know."
Qi You pursed his lips, "It should be... But I can't think of who it is... Anyway, it's just an email, I don't care... Don't worry too much..."
"I'll get it next time... I'll ask you to check it for you."
"Don't bother... If he really wanted to trouble me, he wouldn't just send me an email... What are you talking about taking me?"
Xiao Yan saw that Qi You didn't want to talk more, so she didn't insist on telling him about the email, but she still made an extra note in her heart.
Confession
After talking about liking, Qi You thought that he and Xiao Yan were together.
It's not because he doesn't think much about it, it's because in Qi You's view, if two people like each other and speak out, they should be considered together.
So, Xiao Yan asked him out, brought him some small gifts, came to see him specially on Saturday, and sent him to the station on Sunday, Qi You always took it for granted that it was a normal process of two people's relationship.
Knowing that one day when I went to Li Kun's home to make up lessons, I met Li Gan who happened to be home.
"Hi, you're here." Li Gan greeted casually.
"En." Qi You also casually replied.
"Oh, today I will send you...to your school with Tong'er. Did you tell Tang'er?"
"I've already said it." As soon as the notice that Xiao Yan was going to J University came out, Xiao Yan told Qi You.
"Okay... By the way, there is another girl with us, you know?"
"...I don't know, I just know it's three people."
"Oh..." Li Gan was silent for a moment, "That girl..." Li Qian seemed to want to say something, and didn't seem to intend to elaborate on it with Qi You, but Qi You still understood what Li Gan meant.
Girls should like Xiao Yan.
However, Qi You didn't think it was a big problem.
Xiao Yan is dazzling, his ability and strength are worthy of being liked by others.
It's normal for many people to like him.Qi You will be uncomfortable, but he will not have any bad emotions about it.Because Xiao Yan likes him.Like he also likes Xiao Yan.Since two people like each other, the likes of others are nothing.
"..." Li Gan didn't know which muscle was wrong, and sat down again, with the melancholy of an elder, "I know, this guy is boring. Maybe you young people think he is boring. But he is really a very good person. He is handsome and dedicated. He has never been tempted by others in all these years, only you..."
Qi You blinked, "Brother Tian, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Li Gan scratched his head, "I just want...you should agree to be with Tanger earlier...he..."
"Don't we know we're together?"
Now it was Li Gan's turn to be confused, "Huh?"
"Is there something about us that makes you think we're not together?"
"No...you don't look like you are together...Isn't Tianer chasing you?"
Qi You continued to blink.
"Tong'er often visits you, and you came to our house because of you...Tong'er told me before that he wanted to get more money...Aren't you investigating him?"
Qi You showed a dumbfounding expression, but he also seriously thought about the relationship between the two of them.
At the beginning Qi You's confession was snatched by Xiao Yan, Qi You tacitly agreed in his heart that the two liked each other, so he never expressed his heart.
Because Xiao Yan always took the initiative to approach him, Qi You took it for granted and forgot that he should also take the initiative to approach him.
Looking back at the relationship between the two of them some time ago, it seems that the love in my heart has never been truly expressed.
Qi You bit his lower lip, it seemed that he really should express his thoughts.
Li Qian didn't know what Qi You was thinking.
Xiao Yan didn't know either, but on the way to J University, Xiao Yan felt that Qi You was sticky a lot.
Although he was puzzled, it did not prevent Xiao Yan from happily accepting all this.
Xiao Yan still lived in the previous hotel, and after Qi You helped him pack his things, Xiao Yan sent him back to the dormitory.
Along the way, both of them were talking and laughing, until they reached a certain intersection, Qi You frowned as if he had noticed something.
Xiao Yan looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Qi You didn't intend to hide it, "In fact, after I came back, I always felt that someone was following me..."
Xiao Yan didn't look back, "Well then, you go ahead at the next intersection, and I'll turn over."
"it is good."
So the two separated.When Xiao Yan walked into the dark, he stopped and hid.
Sure enough, he saw someone following Qi You.
Xiao Yan didn't talk too much nonsense, he rushed over and grabbed that person.
The man didn't seem to realize that someone would rush out, he was stunned for a moment, and then tried his best to break free and run away.
Qi You had already turned back when Xiao Yan rushed out, "Ji Xu? Are you here?" After a moment of silence, his face darkened instantly, "You sent the email?"
"Xiaoyou..." Ji Xu put on an innocent expression, "I just came to see you."
Qi You frowned, "What are you looking at me for? Ji Xu...you must be sick."
"Xiaoyou..."
"Don't. Don't call me that. I'm disgusting."
Ji Xu sneered, "Why. You can't pretend to be upright on my side..." Turning his head and glanced at Xiao Yan, this guy can do it?He's not on my mind. "
Xiao Yan ignored Ji Xu's words and asked Qi You, "Who is he?"
Qi You frowned even deeper, "A junior high school classmate."
Xiao Yan looked at Qi You's expression, frowned, and said, "Following him late at night, who knows what this person is going to do. Send him to the security room first."
Ji Xu seemed to be furious, "Qi You! You can't do this to me!"
Qi You frowned, "Why did I treat you? Why can't I treat you differently? Ji Xu, don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say these words?"
"Xiaoyou...Obviously we are best friends...Obviously the people around you should be mine...Why are you..."
"Ji Xu, can you stop saying those disgusting things? You will only make me feel more disgusted."
Ji Xu suddenly laughed loudly, and looked at Xiao Yan, "You two together? Have you slept? Touched? Let me tell you..."
Qi You punched him, "Ji Xu, you are so disgusting."
Xiao Yan still sent Ji Xu to the security room.He didn't send it directly to the police station, because he really hasn't done anything yet.
During this period, Qi You stayed outside the door of the security room.
Xiao Yan came out from the door and saw Qi You in a daze outside the door, so he didn't bother him immediately.
Qi You seemed to have sensed it, and immediately turned around after Xiao Yan stood still, looking at Xiao Yan.He walked in front of Xiao Yan again.
"I have nothing to do with him. I don't think there is anything."
Xiao Yan looked at Qi You's frown, raised his hand to smooth out those lines, "I know."
It's nothing more than unrequited love and psychologically twisted dramas.It's not for nothing that Xiao Yan is a few years older than Qi You, he can think of it, and he can digest it by himself.
Qi You didn't want to let the topic go so unclearly, "We had a good relationship when we were in junior high school. I often lived at my aunt's house. Their house is close, so I often went to their house to do my homework."
Once when I was doing homework at his home, Qi You fell asleep because he was too tired. He seemed to hear some strange voice in a daze. He opened his eyes and listened to the sound in Ji Xu's computer. Seeing Ji Xu's movements, Qi You was startled. Jump and run away.Qi You couldn't say anything after that.Because Ji Xu had a computer turned on in front of him.But Qi You couldn't pretend that there was nothing, because Qi You clearly remembered that when he opened his eyes, Ji Xu was staring straight at him.It's not that he was worried about being stared at by his friends, that stare was so straightforward that Qi You couldn't pretend nothing happened.So from then on, Qi You tried to avoid Ji Xu as much as possible.
"So, when I think about recent events, those previous events come back to my mind." Qi You frowned again, "I feel sick."
How can there be no psychological burden at all, a junior high school student, witnessed his good friend staring at him, doing that kind of thing.
Xiao Yan sneered, "You guys are quite precocious..."
"..."
The point is this?
"You are different." Qi You looked at Xiao Yan, as if thinking of something, "You are different...Brother Yan." Qi You pursed his lips, "You won't be disgusting...I like you. That's why you are not disgusting .”
Whatever you try to do won't make me feel bad.
future
On Saturday morning, the long-lost sunshine was very good, Qi You looked at the direction where the sun was rising, squinted his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, turned and walked towards the laboratory.
As soon as he entered the laboratory, Shen Jia pulled him, "You came just in time, the teacher will do a demonstration experiment next Monday, you can help the teacher try the plan and see if it works."
Qi You nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, are you busy tomorrow night?"
Qi You raised the corner of his mouth, "Yes...a friend is here."
"Okay." Shen Jia didn't seem to pay attention to Qi You's small movements, "I wanted to invite you to have dinner in the laboratory tonight."
Qi You smiled, "Then there's no need... Besides, it's really inappropriate for me to go."
Shen Jia nodded, didn't say anything more, and continued to do her own thing.
Qi You looked at the experimental plan, searched for the things to be used in the laboratory, responded, and did the experiment. After confirming that there was no problem, he entered the lounge, "Senior Sister, the plan is fine."
"Well... by the way, your phone rang several times just now, you can take a look."
Qi You froze for a moment, "Okay."
Seeing the numerous missed messages on the phone screen, Qi You walked out of the laboratory, stood in the corridor next to him, and dialed the phone, "What's wrong?"
"Happy birthday."
Qi You smiled slightly, "Didn't you already send a message?"
At 00:56 in the morning, although Qi You thinks it is more likely to be a coincidence.
"The text message is a ceremony. What should be said, I still have to speak. I will finish here soon, and I will come to your school at about one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and then I will look for you. I will go with Xiaokun every day. After all, it is your birthday. We still have to celebrate you."
Qi You pursed his lips, "Is it convenient?"
"What's the inconvenience? Anyway, Xiaokun is with Tiantian. How convenient."
Qi You nodded, thinking that Xiao Yan wouldn't be able to see, "Okay... that's right. Sansan will come at night."
"Isn't that what it should be? My sister-in-law celebrates her birthday, how can he not?"
Qi You pretended not to hear the sister-in-law, "I asked him to bring Su Chen along."
As soon as this sentence was finished, Xiao Yan was silent for a while, and then said, "It's his own business. He knows it well, and I won't interfere too much."
"Ah."
Xiao Yan's laughter came from the phone, "See you later."
"Ah."
When Xiao Yan came over in the afternoon, Qi You and Xiao Can went to pick him up.
Qi You looked at Xiao Can, "Where's Su Chen?"
Xiao Can kept a gentle look on his face, "He can only come here after get off work."
"How are you doing now?"
Xiao Can pursed his lips and smiled, "What's the matter? I live under the same roof with him now, and Xiao Xiao and Su's mother are standing by my side... He used to pretend to sleep on the sofa, but after the holiday, he was killed by Su." Mom rushed into the bedroom." At this point, Xiao Can's expression became sincere, "I know what he's doing, and he also knows what I'm doing. He knows what he should do to be really good for me. So... ..." Xiao Can said with a smile, "Now he does whatever I ask him to do, and he doesn't dare to say anything that is good for me."
Looking at Xiao Can's expression, Qi You knew that they must be fine now.
Indeed, two people who are obviously in love, why bother to give up the emotions they have now for the future that may not necessarily exist.Instead of worrying about gains and losses because of unknown things, it is better to work hard for a better future.
"He is already preparing for the adult college entrance examination... He is indeed very smart, and he can learn many things very quickly." Xiao Can said half-jokingly, "I guess if he didn't drop out at the beginning, it would be because I am not good enough for him. "
Qi You smiled, and chatted with Xiao Can about other things.
The two of them didn't talk for long, when Xiao Yan and Li Gan arrived.
When he first arrived, Li Gan was still teasing as always, "Oh, how come the birthday star came to pick him up."
Xiao Yan glanced at him, "It's not like I came here specifically to pick you up."
Li Gan choked for a moment, "Yes."
Several people greeted a few more casually, and then set off to the reserved place together.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Can received a message, "Su Chen is coming soon, I'll wait for him at the door, you go in first."
Xiao Yan glanced at him, did not speak, and led a few people in.
The place they were looking for was on the third floor of a restaurant. There were places to eat and play in the boxes.Of course, the reason why Xiao Yan had to book this place was because there was a stage where he could sing in the box.Guitars are also available for hire.
Although it was for Qi You's birthday, the young men were not so formal, so they just said happy birthday and started to eat and play.
When the commotion was almost over, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up, picked up the guitar that had been standing next to him early in the morning, and sat on the table next to it.
"I haven't known Qiqi for a long time."
Several people looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting on the stage.
Qi You pursed his lips.
The name Qi Qi was used by Xiao Yan some time ago. Qi You didn't know why, but he didn't ask too much.
"I never knew why I liked Qiqi. I always liked it out of nowhere. If I want to thank... Maybe I should thank that ID card?"
Several people present laughed out loud.
Xiao Yan also smiled, and continued, "We don't seem to have many deep memories between us, but there seem to be a lot of memories... I can't sing well, but I still want to use this song to let Qiqi know...the relationship between us Everything that happened during this time... is also engraved in my heart. In the future, no matter where you go, I will accompany you."
Qi You pursed his lips and didn't say a word, or rather, couldn't say a word.
The guitar sounded.
Qi You had seen the guitar in Xiao Yan's room before, but never thought that one day, Xiao Yan would give himself a song.
Accompanied by Xiao Yan's singing, Qi You recalled the first time the two met.
"Just swipe the ID card next to it."
It seems that the ID card was not swiped on the machine at the subway entrance, but swiped in the hearts of two people.
Qi You raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were on Xiao Yan on the stage.
And their future.
