back edge

Yao Xi rolled his eyes at Zhou Yantong, ignored his gunpowder-smelling provocation, looked at Xiaomo who came in behind Zhou Yantong, patted the empty space beside him and said, "Xiaomo, sit here."

"No, no, no, Miss Zhou Zhou spared me." Xiao Mo quickly sat down next to Xie Jingnian with an ice cream, as if she was about to be hunted down a few seconds later.

Xiao Mo's age is not as old as rumored in the circle, at least her face looks like a college student.

"Hello, hello." Xiao Mo greeted hastily and buried herself in eating her own ice cream.

Hearing that he had no more text, Xie Jingnian turned his head and stared at the door, wondering why Chen Xi hadn't come back yet.

Zhou Yantong sat opposite Yao Xi, looking at each other with disgust.There was no words on the table for a while.When Qian Ke, the bass player of the peachy CD, came back, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

The seats on the other side were full, so Qian Ke could only find the seat next to Yao Xi and sit down, drinking beer after cup.

"Who the hell are you showing this look to?" Yao Xi suddenly dropped the cigarette case in his hand, grabbed Qian Ke's unfinished wine and put it on the table, "Just tell me if you have anything to say. Can't you be a little bit crisper?"

Except for Xie Jingnian, everyone present was not surprised by the daily quarrel between the two, including Chen Shi who pushed the door in.

He put down the things he was carrying, and said to Xiao Mo: "Go to the next door and sit with Lao Yang and the others."

Xiao Mo felt relieved immediately, and ran away with her share of food.

The strong smell of tobacco is approaching, covering the aroma of barbecue.Probably only Chen Xi could grill meat without changing his face at this time.

"Don't eat?" Chen Kui seemed to be asking casually, no matter how Xie Jingnian answered, he had already held the plate in his hand.

Xie Jingnian was still immersed in the sudden quarrel between Yao Xi and Qian Ke, but he suddenly realized that the meat was given to him by Yao Xi just now: "I'll eat it!"

He never thought that one day he would be so narrow-minded that Chen Xi couldn't bear to eat meat from his girlfriend.

Qian Ke sat there and changed to a glass of wine and continued to drink, as if it wasn't her that Yao Xi yelled at just now, and she was okay: "I don't want to quarrel with you."

"Why don't you want to quarrel?" Yao Xi stood up and pushed Qian Ke out, "You've been arguing with me for half a month because of a bad thing, is that interesting?"

Qian Ke was unmoved, and allowed Yao Xi to push her hard: "Yes."

"You talk, um what?"

"Ah."

Maybe Yao Xi thinks it's okay to quarrel in front of acquaintances, but Xie Jingnian can't be as calm as Chen Yu and Zhou Yantong, moving around on the chair as if they burned their buttocks. The rotten clip eased the embarrassment for his barbecue.

Chen Xi raised his eyes, looked at the two of them and said, "I have something to discuss outside."

"Talk about it!" Yao Xi angrily picked up his things and stuffed them into the bag, stepped on the small sofa and jumped over Qian Ke, "Break up Qian Ke, I'm fucking fed up with you! "

Qian Ke stood up instantly when she heard this, her shoulder-length short hair covered her face due to her movements.She pushed back her hair, took Yao Xi's coat and chased him out.

"Still watching? Hurry up and eat." Chen Kui tapped his plate with a tong, and said, "Catch the 10:30 bus back later."

"Oh."

Xie Jingnian's mind was still dull.In just a few hours of experience, everything was beyond his reach.For example, Yao Xi and Qian Ke are in a relationship—is Chen Yu the third party who intervened in their quarrel?

Zhou Yantong was already full, and was slumped on the chair playing with his mobile phone, when he suddenly said, "Chen Xi, if you don't want to play someday, please tell me."

"It was Zhou Zhou who contacted me temporarily when I came to the stage today." Chen Xi immediately understood that there was something in his words, "She and Qian Ke were going to stay together, so this performance can't be left in your hands."

Later, while drinking, the two talked about some gossip in the circle that Xie Jingnian could not understand.

Zhou Yantong can't do without a few drinks.He squatted next to the telephone pole, blushing and yelling about going to the ktv to sing, his speech was slurred, as if he was drunk.

Xie Jingnian tried his best but couldn't move him, instead Chen Xi stood beside him smoking a cigarette, only the flickering sparks could be seen clearly in the dark night.

A sting of cold passed over his cheeks, and his fingers were a little stiff from the cold.Xie Jingnian circled around Zhou Yantong, he had nothing to do with him, so he simply stood there without moving.

Xie Jingnian glanced at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and he missed the train back long ago.

Chen Xi threw away the cigarette butts in his hand, let it mix with the scattered ground beside his feet, suddenly turned to look at him, and asked, "Is it cold?"

Xie Jingnian stiffly shook his head, but in fact the fingertips in his pockets had already lost feeling.

There was no one on the street, and a few would pass by occasionally, and without exception, they all cast prying eyes and glanced at them, and then walked away quickly in surprise and fear.

Today Chen Xi was wearing a black woolen coat, the long hem of which hung down to the bend of his legs, standing there for some reason, he had the temperament of a gangster.

Xie Jingnian thought it was funny, but dared not speak out.His face was buried in his collar, and the corners of his mouth were grinning, making muffled noises.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Xi stepped forward and gave him a slap in the face, and put his hands back into his pockets as if feeling cold.

"I didn't laugh."

Xie Jingnian refused to admit it bluntly, and couldn't hold back the moment he raised his face to face Chen Xi, and hid aside with a smile, in case Chen Xi became angry and punished him.

Maybe it was too cold, or maybe he was too lazy to do anything, but Chen Yu finally just laughed and scolded him as an idiot.

Zhou Yantong was extremely energetic, and it took half an hour before he calmed down.

Chen Kui had booked a hotel a long time ago, it was nearby, a few minutes away.The two supported Zhou Yantong, and finally put the comatose man on the bed.

A total of two rooms were booked, and the other was next door.Xie Jingnian saw that Chen Xi wanted to leave Zhou Yantong alone here, and the two of them lived in another room.

It was the first time they lived in the same house.Xie Jingnian was so embarrassed that he just took off his coat and got into bed, secretly worried whether he would snore at night and disturb Chen Shi.

"Brother Yu, my, if I snore, you can just push me up."

"Ah."

There was the sound of undressing behind him.

Then probably in the shower.

Xie Jingnian heard the sound of water dripping from the shower room.The shower room in this hotel is made of transparent glass on three sides, and the other side is attached to the wall.

He covered his nose in the quilt with sweat, and he didn't dare to turn his head. His cold hands and feet were thawed in the warmth, numb and tingling.

Xie Jingnian didn't close his eyes all night, only looking forward to tomorrow coming soon.

Who knows that the next day did not go.

Zhou Yantong got drunk last night and blew the wind all night. He thought it was a hangover at first, but later took his body temperature and found that it was a fever and fever.

38 degrees seven.Reluctant to go to the hospital for an injection, Lai couldn't get up on the hotel bed.

Chen Xi watched him play tricks, just like Xie Jingnian last night, unable to do anything.Zhou Yantong was like a limp brown candy, no matter how many times he got him up, he would still lie back on the bed in the end.

"You die here."

Chen Xi put down a word, and walked out the door without looking back.

Xie Jingnian quickly caught up and found that Chen Xi hadn't gone far, and was standing in the corridor with his back turned to him: "Brother Yu——"

Who was Chen Kui talking on the phone, pointed at him and put his index finger to his lips, signaling him to keep quiet.

Xie Jingnian felt relieved and went back to find Zhou Yantong.He is much more honest when he has a fever than when he is drunk, and he is not noisy-although he refuses to stay anywhere but a hotel bed.

The phone call was for Zhou Yantong's younger brother, Zhou Yanhang, who happened to be here on a business trip these two days.

Zhou Yanhang looked at his own brother and complained, and finally had to serve him as a coolie when he was free.

But what he said was that he cared about Zhou Yantong from the bottom of his heart.Putting on clothes again, and applying hot towels again.

When they arrived at the hospital, it was he and Chen Yu who ran around, Xie Jingnian sat on the bench in the hospital corridor and couldn't help at all.

"Brother? Why are you here? Are you sick? Where's Chen Xi?" Yao Xi, who was walking towards him, supported Qian Ke and asked him one after another.

Qian Ke wore a white mask, revealing only a pair of haggard eyes.Her hair was loose, and there was a bandage on her forehead, and some blood could still be seen faintly.

Xie Jingnian hurriedly got up and made way for Qian Ke to sit down: "I'm fine. He went to help Brother Yan get the medicine."

"Zhou Yantong? What happened to him?" Yao Xi asked.

"fever."

"Why do you have a fever? Is it serious?"

"It was windy last night. 38 degrees seven."

"Aren't you going back, how can you blow the wind until you have a fever?"

She seems to have mastered the skill of talking to Xie Jingnian now.

keep asking.

Xie Jingnian was too embarrassed to ignore her.As a result, the two of them chatted until the internal medicine clinic called several rounds of numbers.

Qian Ke tugged at Yao Xi's finger as if she couldn't listen anymore.Yao Xi immediately gave up talking with Xie Jingnian, leaned over and asked softly, "I'm here, Bao'er, what's wrong?"

It's a different person from when I lost my temper yesterday.

"Headache, let's go back." Qian Ke said.

As soon as Yao Xi heard her talk about the pain, he was so anxious, asking this and that, and hurriedly took the time to say goodbye to Xie Jingnian.

Chen Xi settled Zhou Yantong and came to pick up Xie Jingnian.

Xie Jingnian said hesitantly: "Brother Jiu, I just saw your daughter... Yao Xi."

"Did she recruit you?" Chen Xi asked.

"No."

It may be because of the rest day, there are many patients in the hospital.Zhou Yantong was huddled pitifully on a small bed with a few elders and aunts, but he seemed to be in much better spirits, at least he was no longer confused.

"Hanghang, my brain hurts." Zhou Yantong rested his forehead on Zhou Yanhang's body, and he didn't dare to move the needle hand.

"Yes." Zhou Yanhang stretched out his hand and pushed him back, "I don't know how much you can drink? Can you drink enough?"

After scolding him a few more words, Zhou Yanhang received a call and was called back to work.

Chen Kui and Xie Jingnian had nowhere to go, they walked around a few times, and finally sat down on the window sill in the corridor.

"Brother Xiu," Xie Jingnian stared at Chen Jiu's face, and asked tentatively, "Yao Xi and Qian Ke...are they a couple?"

"Do you mind?" Chen Xi asked back.

Xie Jingnian shook his head quickly, and told Chen Xi that he always thought Yao Xi was his girlfriend.

He thought that Chen Xi would probably call him a fool again.

Sure enough, Chen Xi still said these three words.

"Why don't you think she's Zhou Yantong's girlfriend?" Chen Jiu said indifferently to Xie Jingnian, "He even chased Yao Xi a few years ago."

"And then?" Xie Jingnian asked.

Chen Xi said that he failed to catch up and was robbed by Qian Ke——Zhou Yantong really deserved to be scolded.
