Pei Ruoyan looked around, with a worried look on his face, "Is it alright if we just come up with them?"
"He was the one who invited us to drink, why are you panicking." Qi Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "Besides, this is only on the second floor, not in a private room."
Right now, the two are in the booth in the rest area on the second floor. Different from the hustle and bustle on the first floor, it seems that some special noise-reducing material is used here, which is much quieter in comparison. The seat is also in a semi-circular shape, which preserves privacy while , and not too closed.
When the bartender brought the two glasses of wine just now, Qi Chen asked the bartender to help pass a message to the boss, saying that since they were invited to drink, there was no reason for anyone not to show up.
The bartender who was used as a microphone came back again, and asked the waiter to lead them to the booth on the second floor, telling them to wait a while, and the boss will come soon.
Qi Chen said: "When people come, just act as I told you."
Pei Ruoyan: "Then what if..."
"Don't worry about it." Qi Chen interrupted him in a low voice, "Here comes the man."
Pei Ruoyan followed his line of sight, and saw a young man of about 24-[-] walking towards them.Dress casually, not as social as the bar owner he imagined before.
"Hi, hello, my name is Tang Ying." The young man greeted them, and talked to Pei Ruoyan very enthusiastically. When he announced his name, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, "So your surname is Pei."
Pei Ruoyan gave a "hmm", and replied according to what he had discussed with Qi Chen before: "Does Boss Tang think I'm someone?"
"Yes." Tang Ying was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "But I can hear you as soon as you speak. Although you look very similar, your tone is still a bit different."
Pei Ruoyan made a slightly surprised expression, "So Boss Tang knows my brother."
Tang Kai: "Your brother?"
Pei Ruoyan: "I'm twins."
"Oh, no wonder." Tang Ying said: "It's okay, we are also destined to hit each other by mistake."
A few people chatted back and forth for a few words, most of the topics revolved around Pei Ruoyan, Qi Chen felt relaxed and relaxed on the sofa, listening to them come and go, and finally began to call each other brothers.
As the relationship drew closer, Pei Ruoyan said according to what had been discussed in advance: "From Brother Tang's point of view, the relationship with my brother should be quite close?"
"That's not true." Tang Ying said: "I just saw my brother from a distance when I went to eat with others, otherwise how could I admit my mistake."
Pei Ruoyan was anxious, and blurted out, "Then do you have his contact information?"
Tang Kai: "Huh?"
"Uh, that's it."
Qi Chen came out to smooth things over, thinking that Tang Ying and Xie Lian were not particularly close, so he just opened his eyes and made up nonsense on the spot, "My friend and his brother didn't live together when they were young because of some things. We had a fight a few years ago, and in a fit of anger I deleted the contact information, and later regretted it, but I couldn't get in touch no matter what the contact person was."
"Eh..." Tang Ying opened his mouth, and just about to say something, a voice with a hard to hide smile came from the tiny headset in his ear, "Don't, listen to him continue."
Only Tang Ying could hear this voice. He raised his hand and rubbed his ears, thinking what was going on, while cooperating with Qi Chen's nonsense, "Well, what then?"
Qi Chen: "Then my friend regretted it. He always wanted to apologize to others when he returned home."
Pei Ruoyan: "...Yes."
Qi Chen: "So if Brother Tang, you have his contact information, can you contact my friend for him, he really sincerely wants to apologize."
The corners of Tang Ying's mouth twitched slightly, and he covered it up by drinking water, and read according to the words in the earphone: "That's all right, I'll help you and my friend to ask. But he is very busy recently, and may not be free to see you."
Pei Ruoyan: "Quite busy?"
"I don't know the details." Tang Ying said a little vaguely, "It seems that his family arranged for him to go abroad or something. I also heard people say that I don't know much about it."
Pei Ruoyan frowned slightly, with an anxious expression on his face, "Then Brother Tang, can you send him a message for me? Or give me a contact method, and I can contact him myself."
"Eh..." Tang Ying got stuck before continuing: "You wait until I ask my friend first, and then I will talk about it."
After finishing speaking, Tang Kai got up quickly, and went upstairs as if fleeing.
Qi Chen held his chin to stop his back, raised his hand and rubbed his head, "I'm a little sleepy."
Pei Ruoyan: "Then why don't we go back when he comes down?"
"It's okay." Qi Chen shook his head, "I can hold on for a while."
After waiting for about ten minutes, Tang Ying went downstairs, "I got his phone number from a friend, and his previous residence in the urban area. I called, but no one answered. For the house, he went down I went abroad in a month, I don’t know if I still live there, if you don’t mind making a trip for nothing, I’ll take you there to have a look?”
Pei Ruoyan got up subconsciously, then remembered Qi Chen's situation, looked down, "You..."
"Both of you go." Qi Chen said, "I'll wait for you here."
"Then why don't I take you to the third floor?" Tang Ying suggested, "There is a rest room above, which is quieter than here."
The three of them went upstairs together, Tang Ying called an additional internal call, and asked the waiter to bring him a glass of honey water.
As Tang Ying said, the third floor is indeed very quiet, with almost no noise at all.Qi Chen sat down on the sofa and waved to the two of them, "You guys go, just come back quickly."
Looking at his state, Pei Ruoyan was still a little worried, "Otherwise, you should stay with us."
"No." Qi Chen shook his head.
He had read the plot, and knew that in the original novel, Pei Ruoyan didn't see Xie Lian during his trip, so it was useless to run this trip.Even if a blind cat meets a dead mouse, and Xie Lian happens to be there, he doesn't really want to meet him.
For some reason, Xie Lian felt very dangerous to Qi Chen from the beginning to the end.
"Go quickly, you can come back early if you go early." Qi Chen yawned, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, "I will call you if something happens."
Only then did Pei Ruoyan follow Tang Ying downstairs, sat in the car, and looked back worriedly.
Tang Ying started the car and asked casually, "What's your relationship?"
Pei Ruoyan paused as he put on his seat belt, and after thinking for a while, he said, "...friend."
Tang Kai raised his eyebrows, "Are you really a friend?"
Pei Ruoyan: "...otherwise what else could it be?"
"Haha." Tang Ying smiled, "I thought he liked you, otherwise why would he bother to help you? He was the one who gave you the idea to come here to look for someone who knows your brother?"
Pei Ruoyan opened his mouth, for a moment he didn't know whether to refute the sentence of liking or to be shocked that the other party guessed Qi Chen's plan.
Tang Ying let out a "wow", "I guessed wildly, are you right?"
Pei Ruoyan broke the jar and let out a "hmm", and finally remembered to explain, "We are not in that kind of relationship."
"Oh, oh, I understand." Tang Yingbi gestured OK and changed the topic, "But what's the matter with you all here to brush your face?"
"It's almost what he said before." Pei Ruoyan thought that he had been guessed out, and there was no need to hide it, so he roughly said the matter, and finally apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Tang."
"What's the matter, I don't have anything to lose." Tang Ying comforted him, and when he heard Xie Lian's soft click on the other side of the headset, he knew that his mission was almost over.
Sure enough, Xie Lian quickly said: "Take him for a run, it's hard work."
After finishing speaking, Xie Lian cut off the communication.
Xie Lian didn't plan to meet Pei Ruoyan, although they stopped living together when they were very young, he probably knew the character of his twin brother, and he could guess why the other party wanted to see him.
It took so long to stop, purely because he was very interested in the appearance of another person.
After the matter was cleared up, Xie Lian packed his things and was about to leave. After a pause, he turned back to the computer, connected to the intranet, turned on the surveillance, and found the lounge where Qi Chen was.
The screen jumps to reflect the picture of the lounge, Xie Lian's expression is slightly startled, and the brows are slowly raised
Actually fell asleep.
On the screen, Qi Chen was curled up on the sofa, looking rather pitiful.From the monitoring point of view, all he could see was his fluffy hair and a little red nose.
Xie Lian saw the untouched glass of honey water on the table, hung his right hand on the phone for a moment, then put it back.
*
In a daze, Qi Chen felt as if he was dreaming again.
But it was different from the previous prophetic dreams. Qi Chen dreamed that he woke up on a strange big bed, and someone was sitting beside his bed, lowering his head and touching his face with the glass in his hand.
"Are you awake?" Seeing him open his eyes, the man raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Pei...isn't that right, Xie Lian?" Qi Chen's brain turned around dully, searching for a name, and said in a daze, "Why are you here?"
Xie Lian was a little surprised to be able to recognize him when he was so drunk, and handed over the cup in his hand, his voice was much softer unconsciously, "Drink this."
Qi Chen took it subconsciously, took a sip, and almost didn't spit it out, "What the hell is this?"
Xie Lian had a rare good temper, "Honey water, for hangover."
"I'm not drunk!" Qi Chen answered reflexively, then frowned, and said to himself: "No, how could Xie Lian be so kind as to give me honey water?"
What does it mean to be kind, Xie Lian was about to ask, when he saw the other person raised his head, his expression suddenly enlightened, "Oh, I see, I'm dreaming."
Then he looked disgusted again, "Why did I dream of you!"
Xie Lian: "..."
Xie Lian silently stared at the drunk for a few seconds, then reached out and pinched the drunk's nose accurately, "Don't want to dream about me?"
The drunkard patted his hand with the other paw that was free, and said angrily, "I don't want to."
Xie Lian raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice, as if bewitched, "Huh? Why don't you want to dream about me?"
Maybe it was because of dreaming, Qi Chen's vigilance dropped a lot, he struggled for a long time and couldn't break free, he groaned, "You are too dangerous."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly frowned, and pulled the person's hand out, "Why are you pinching me?"
Xie Lian's tone was like a smile but not a smile, "Who told you to speak ill of me."
"I said in my dream that it was not enough, but I didn't let you hear me." Qi Chen grabbed his hand and tried to break away, rubbing the tip of his red nose and said, "Why are you so annoying."
Xie Lian almost laughed angrily. It was the first time in his life that he came to serve people with a good temper, and it turned out like this, "You've only met me a few times, and you know I'm annoying, and you know I'm dangerous?"
Qi Chen was a little angry, "How do you know that I don't."
"Come on, tell me." Xie Lian said, "How do you know?"
"I..." Qi Chen habitually wanted to brake, but then remembered that it was a dream and there was nothing to be afraid of, so he continued, "I knew it in my dream."
"Oh?" Xie Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Like this dream?"
"Of course not." Qi Chen frowned, "Why should I tell you this, you don't understand."
Xie Lian looked at him critically for a while, and didn't speak any more. The fingers hanging by his side tapped the bed surface once and for all, which was his habitual thinking action.
When the mood calmed down, Xie Lian felt like he was bewitched just now. He obviously wanted to try to talk, but the topic was completely out of control.
Standing up and about to leave, Xie Lian caught sight of the bulge curled up under the blanket from the corner of the eye. Xie Lian sighed, pulled him up resignedly, and stuffed the unfinished glass of honey water into it, "Go to sleep after drinking."
"Your family lives by the sea." Qi Chen struggled a few times and couldn't break free, so he could only drink it down with a bitter face and pinched his nose, "Are you alright?"
Xie Lian took back the empty cup, saw the person slipping back into the quilt again, reached out his hand to dig him out of the quilt, and asked in a low voice, "What were you doing when you dreamed of me?"
"Huh?" Qi Chen fell asleep half consciously, and began to think with half remaining.
Strictly speaking, Qi Chen never really dreamed about Xie Lian.The only time it counted was the lunch break at school, when he dreamed
"I dreamed..." Qi Chen opened his eyes in a half-dream, raised his hand to caress his side face, leaned over involuntarily, and whispered in his ear: "You are doing this to me."
"He was the one who invited us to drink, why are you panicking." Qi Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "Besides, this is only on the second floor, not in a private room."
Right now, the two are in the booth in the rest area on the second floor. Different from the hustle and bustle on the first floor, it seems that some special noise-reducing material is used here, which is much quieter in comparison.
