Jing Ming didn't expect that he could still watch such a good show by setting up a pick-up bureau by himself.

He crossed Erlang's legs and stretched his neck to look at Su Hui who was diagonally across from the booth, and then at Ning Yixiao who was sitting opposite him with a cold face, he couldn't help laughing with joy.

"Hey, I'm really curious." Jing Ming didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, "How many people liked Su Hui in your school?"

Ning Yixiao's expression was very cold, as if he didn't want to talk to him at all, he picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.

Bella couldn't help teasing, "This lemonade is so sour."

Chloe analyzed very rationally, "I feel that boys and girls like Eddy, and there should be many suitors."

The corners of Jing Ming's mouth almost reached his ears, and he sat in the best viewing position and stared at the two people who were talking not far away, broadcasting the live broadcast to Ning Yixiao who didn't want to watch or listen.

"Hey, that buddy is here." Jing Ming sized up Feng Cheng a few times, saw that he felt a little embarrassed when he met Su Hui, and took off his hat respectfully, "You're pretty handsome."

Ning Yixiao didn't bother to talk to him, and didn't look back.

"Shaw is still very generous," Bella laughed, "If it were me, I would definitely not let him meet."

Ning Yixiao didn't care too much, "As long as Su Hui is willing."

Seeing Feng Cheng again after so many years, Su Hui felt as if he had passed away.

"Long time no see, you have grown taller." A gentle smile appeared on his face.

Feng Cheng was a little embarrassed, and when facing Su Hui, he still stammered, "It's been... six years, and I've grown a little bit."

"What would you like to drink?" Su Hui called the waiter and ordered some drinks casually.

Feng Cheng was very embarrassed, he didn't know where to put his hands, and finally pressed them on his knees, and he didn't look directly at Su Hui's face.

"Actually, I want to see you today, mainly to apologize to you face to face, so it's more formal."

Su Hui looked at him, and there was actually no disturbance in his heart, but Feng Cheng's cowardly appearance in the past would keep appearing in his mind.

Feng Cheng lowered his eyes and shook his eyelashes, "Su Hui, a large part of the accidents in your family were caused by my father. He... he did a lot of wrong things, which even I can't accept, so you don't have to. Forgive him, but I still feel guilty in my heart, so I still want to say sorry to you."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added, "I know, in fact, what I say now is meaningless and can't make up for anything... But I'm really sorry."

Feng Cheng raised his eyes. It was the first time he faced the eyes that had haunted him in his dreams. He felt that he seemed to have changed a lot, but he didn't change. He suddenly felt sad.

The next second, Su Hui smiled, "None of this has anything to do with you. You shouldn't be responsible for what your father did, and you don't need to feel guilty."

Su Hui would never forget what Feng Zhiguo did, especially the harm to Ning Yixiao and his mother. Even if the dead Feng Zhiguo reappeared and knelt in front of him and wept bitterly, Su Hui would not be able to accept it.

But he is also very clear that Feng Zhiguo is Feng Zhiguo, Feng Cheng is Feng Cheng, and the sins of the previous generation should not be inherited by children.

Feng Cheng was stunned for a second when he heard Su Hui's response.

"You said the same thing as the senior..."

Su Hui glanced at Ning Yixiao's back, his eyes became gentle unconsciously, "He doesn't like to hear apologies even more than I do. The word "sorry" is the most annoying word in his life."

After speaking, Su Hui looked at the person in front of him.

"Feng Cheng, you are willing to come forward, I should thank you."

Feng Cheng immediately waved his hands in a panic, a little at a loss, "No, no, I... If I had done it earlier, it wouldn't be like this... I wanted to go and save you, but, but I couldn't do it at that time... "

Su Hui interrupted him, "You have been under Guan Cheng's control, haven't you?"

Feng Cheng lowered his head, "I originally wanted to go abroad, just like the senior, but my dad was obsessed with ghosts, and under his instigation, he bumped into the senior... and even hurt your mother. He... he thought that if he did this, Guan Cheng would be the same as you." He really gave me a lot of money to pave the way for me, but in fact he sent me to Guan Cheng with his own hands and became his lackey."

The so-called future has disappeared since the car accident. Feng Cheng can't go to any school he wants to study, and can't go abroad. He can only obey Guan Cheng, accept his arrangement, and work in the position he has set It seems to be smooth sailing, but in fact it is all dirty work.

Feng Cheng also tried to resist. When he found out that Ji Yanan's death was unusual and saw his father's death with his own eyes, he tried to escape, but no matter where he went, he couldn't escape Guan Cheng's control.

"It's because I'm too incompetent. The only way I can do it is to gain his trust as much as possible, thinking that one day, people like me can play a role."

Even if Feng Cheng doesn't tell the truth, Su Hui can still think about what kind of life he has lived in the past few years.

"Don't worry too much, none of this is your fault." Su Hui changed the subject with a relaxed tone, "What are your plans for the future? Have you figured it out?"

Feng Cheng's eyelids were half-drooped, staring at the coffee cup in front of him, "I feel very tired, and I want to find a quiet place to hide. After this time passes, I... I may go to a small country, Find a remote town to work and live in."

"Aren't you going to continue studying?"

The afternoon sun fell on Su Hui's shoulders, making him soft and gentle.

Feng Cheng raised his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I'll change my mind when I figure it out."

Su Hui nodded, "That's right, a lot of things don't just go according to the plan, take your time."

Feng Cheng raised his head, looked at Su Hui, hesitated and then asked, "How have you been these few years?"

Hearing this sentence, Su Hui smiled. He let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the passers-by outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, "There are good and bad, but it's lucky to survive."

Feng Cheng was very worried about Su Hui for a while. When he first came to Guan Cheng, he wished to find out which mental hospital Su Hui was in, but Guan Cheng never revealed it. very bad.

But he also knew very well that when Su Hui came out, the power that supported him through that time had nothing to do with him.

"That's good." Feng Cheng grabbed his knees, "I... I have always been very grateful to you."

Su Hui didn't understand, and scratched his hair, "Thank me? Why?"

"When I was in school, no one actually talked to me." Feng Cheng still felt a dull pain when he recalled that time. Unlike Ning Yixiao, he could call the wind and call the storm and have countless friends, but he was always alone. Su Hui's smile It was the only ray of light in his dark memories.

"Only you, every time you see me, you will smile at me, and you are willing to let me get in your car, and let my dad take me home. Every time I am in the car, I dare not speak, only you will take the initiative Share something with me..."

Although Feng Cheng learned later that Su Hui's enthusiasm and cheerfulness largely came from his hypomania, it was actually the manifestation of his illness, which was painful in nature.

But these passions did illuminate him at a certain moment.

After hearing this, Su Hui didn't think there was anything special, so he smiled, "We were friends back then."

Feng Cheng paused for a moment, then nodded.

Ning Yixiao, who was sitting diagonally opposite, didn't look back even once, but was basically described by several people at the same table as being in the scene.

"Little brother is quite infatuated, and he is quite measured." Bella took Jingming's arm and abducted him, "You still said that he wanted to confess, but he didn't."

Chloe glanced at the other end, "It's hard, he should know that Eddy and Shaw are lovers."

Jing Ming thought it made sense, "Maybe I knew it six years ago, and I even helped you hide it."

Ning Yixiao didn't comment, but thought the black tea here was terrible, so he changed it to lemonade.

Feng Cheng felt that he shouldn't continue talking, he drank the coffee in the cup in one go, mustered up his courage, and wanted to say goodbye to Su Hui for the last time.

"In the future, I, I may not appear in front of you again."

Su Hui was a little surprised, and her eyes widened a little, "Why?"

"It's better for me not to disturb your life." After finishing speaking, Feng Cheng immediately added, "But if you need me any day, please tell me as soon as possible, I will definitely do my best. "

Su Hui said with a smile, "We are not in a superior-subordinate relationship."

Feng Cheng's ears turned red, he hesitated and hesitated, and finally couldn't help but speak, even though the moment he spoke, he changed "hug" to "shake hands".

"Before we go, can we shake hands?"

Su Hui glanced at Ning Yixiao's direction, and he didn't know if it was telepathy, or they were actually paying attention to this side all the time, and in just three or four seconds, Ning Yixiao, who had always turned his back to him, actually compared an OK one. gesture.

Su Hui couldn't help laughing.

Seeing him laugh, Feng Cheng also looked in the direction of his line of sight, only to realize that they were sitting so close.

"Ah, what... it doesn't matter if you don't shake hands." He immediately changed his words, "I'll just..."

But Su Hui has already stretched out a hand towards him, "There will be a period later."

Feng Cheng stared at his hands, paused for a moment, then stretched out his hands very carefully, held them briefly for two seconds, and then released them immediately.

"There will be a period later... I hope you will be happy every day in the future."

His eyes are sincere.

Su Hui smiled and said, "You too, you should live without burdens in the future."

Jing Ming stared there for a long time, and found that Ning Yixiao's attitude seemed to be different from before.

"Hey, you weren't particularly careful before, and you didn't let go of any suspected potential rivals in love. Why are you so generous this time? It can't be because he helped this time."

Ning Yixiao's expression was calm, "I already knew that he was interested in Su Hui, but I never regarded him as a rival in love."

Bella was puzzled and took a bite of the ice cream, "Why?"

"He's not playing."

Jing Ming laughed, "Then who's going to play?"

Ning Yixiao said coldly, "No one."

"You really have more confidence than before." Jing Ming clicked his tongue a few times, "It's Su Hui who got used to you."

Jing Ming never said a few serious words, and Ning Yixiao never listened to them, but he agreed with this sentence in his heart.

If it was before, it might still be difficult for him to treat everyone who has a crush on Su Hui rationally and objectively. The lack of security prevents him from being calm and calm, and he hates the possibility of losing any aspect of Su Hui. risk.He had lost it once, and the feeling had grown stronger.

Su Hui saw the weakness that no one else could discover, and was willing to give her wholehearted sense of security time and time again. All uncertain factors were broken by Su Hui.

He can definitely believe that there is no risk in this relationship.

"My brother is leaving." Bella pointed.

Ning Yixiao just stood up at this time, walked to Su Hui's side, naturally wrapped his arms around his waist, and said goodbye to Feng Cheng with him.

After Feng Cheng left, they shifted positions and came to a restaurant that Jing Ming had ordered before.

"I have to relax completely today. I ordered a drink, and that's enough."

Su Hui's mental state was too tense during this time, and even the symptoms of mania were suppressed a lot. In fact, many crazy thoughts remained and suppressed in his mind. This feeling was uncomfortable, so Su Hui drank alcohol this time There is little moderation.

Ning Yixiao wanted to stop him, but he couldn't. He also knew that the situation was special. Su Hui didn't say anything, but there were still many things in his heart, so he could only let him indulge once.

"Ning Yixiao, you don't drink at all?" Jing Ming persuaded him, "The red wine here is really good, try it?"

Chloe nodded, "It's really good."

"No, I still have to drive."

"You still drive?" Jing Ming couldn't understand, "Are you sure?"

Bella also knew that he didn't like driving, so she suggested: "Don't drive, just call the driver later."

Ning Yixiao has always been predictable, "Forget it, if he drinks like this, he might make a fuss in the car, and if the driver sees him waking up the next day, he will be ashamed to see others."

Su Hui was already a little drunk, and his actions and behavior were much more frivolous than usual. He grabbed Ning Yixiao's hand, leaned on him, and shook his head at Jingming, "If he doesn't want to drink, don't let him drink it, right? .”

Ning Yixiao lowered his head with a smile, and knocked on his forehead, "You're right."

"By the way, Eddy's solo exhibition will officially open in a few days. Let's go and see it together." Bella suggested, "We can also organize a celebration."

Chloe nodded, "I'll take my camera with me, and I should be able to take a lot of good photos."

Su Hui's voice was also louder than before, "Okay, I'll give you invitation letters!"

Jing Ming smiled, "Can you give me a limited edition invitation letter, and sign it, and I'll show it off."

Ning Yixiao said to Su Hui, "Just give him a copy on A4 paper."

"Hahahaha!"

A few people ate and chatted, time passed quickly, at the end it was already dark, Jing Ming hadn't had enough fun, so he proposed to go to the night show, but Su Hui was completely drunk, he couldn't walk a few steps, only one step away from the fragment away.

"He can't go, you go and play."

"Then be careful on the road."

Saying goodbye to Jingming and the others, Ning Yixiao carried Su Hui who was drunk, took the elevator to the underground parking lot, helped him to the co-driver, leaned over to fasten the seat belt, but Su Hui was caught by the seat belt, and whispered "Uncomfortable" and "Don't", Ning Yixiao had no choice but to put him in the back seat, the space is much more spacious, Su Hui obediently fell on his side in the back seat.

Just after driving for a short distance, Su Hui, who was so drunk that he was unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, opened the window, and hummed a song.

"It's so cool."

Ning Yixiao stared at him, afraid that he would get out.

"Don't reach out, it's dangerous."

But Su Hui who was drunk was not very obedient and couldn't understand people's words, "What?"

That does not work.

After driving through the busiest section of the road, Ning Yixiao didn't follow the navigation, but changed to a road with few cars. There was a park nearby. He parked his car behind the park. There were few people and there were not many cars parked here.

"Where is this?" Su Hui was a little confused, turned her head to look at Ning Yixiao, and then looked out the window, "It's so dark..."

Ning Yixiao unbuckled his seat belt, "Do you still want to play outside? After playing enough, you can take the car, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

He got out of the driver's seat, opened the car door, and stretched out his hand to Su Hui, "Do you want to come out?"

But Su Hui shook his head, "It's dark outside..." He grabbed Ning Yixiao's hand, "Come in and accompany me."

Ning Yixiao had no choice but to do so, stooped in, sat next to Su Hui, and the moment he closed the car door, the world suddenly became very quiet.

And Su Hui kept staring at his face.

"What are you looking at?" Ning Yixiao pinched his chin, "Is there something on my face?"

Su Hui's eyes were filled with water vapor, and he blinked, his eyes were confused.His skin was very thin, and when he was drunk, his whole body turned red, like the pink marks left after being pinched.

"Ning Yixiao...why are you wearing glasses?"

Really drunk.

"I didn't say..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Hui raised her hand, took off his glasses, and put them on her face.

But he couldn't adapt to this degree at all, so he had to squint his eyes.

Ning Yixiao couldn't help laughing, tilted her head and kissed his lips.

Su Hui was stunned for a moment, his whole body was tense, and he even hid back.

"You... why did you kiss me..."

Ning Yixiao frowned suspiciously, "Why? This is the first time I've heard such a novel question."

Su Hui covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide, looking really panicked.

"Didn't we just meet... not long ago?"

Ning Yixiao squinted her eyes and raised her hand to touch Su Hui's forehead.

No fever.

There won't be hallucinations again.

"You drink too much."

Su Hui shook her head and spoke in a nonsensical manner, "I took too much medicine. My mother insisted on forcing me to take it. She told me I took it. I drank a lot of water but it didn't help..."

Started talking nonsense.

Ning Yixiao moved closer, so close that he could feel the smell of alcohol in Su Hui's breath, "Su Hui, how old are you now?"

Su Hui touched her long eyelashes up and down, "...20."

Ning Yixiao couldn't hold back, laughed, and took off his own glasses, "You are so young."

However, Su Hui was too afraid to move because of his overly "close" behavior, "You..."

"Me?" Ning Yixiao had a bad thought and deliberately teased him, "I'm 27 years old, and I know a lot of things you don't."

"What..." Su Hui looked at his face in disbelief, feeling dizzy and unable to think.

"For example..." Ning Yixiao thought for a while, "You will confirm your relationship with me on July 20 of the year when you were 7 years old. On that day, you saw the sky hanging over Manhattan. The duration was 12 minutes and 15 seconds. We first The next time I went to bed was..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Hui covered his mouth in panic.

So funny.

Ning Yixiao couldn't help laughing, and kissed the palm of his hand, which made Su Hui withdraw her hand again in fright.

"Do you still want to hear it?" He moved closer.

Su Hui didn't dare to speak anymore.

He must have escaped from his grandfather's birthday banquet, and he was so dizzy and groggy because of lithium poisoning. Why did Ning Yixiao show up, kiss him, and say so many strange things.

Although I did fall in love with him at first sight, but...

"Don't be nervous, you often do this, but most of the time you don't show it." Ning Yixiao comforted him, "You only discern in your heart what is real and what is an illusion. Last time I celebrated my birthday, you also thought I was Only 21 years old."

"Illusion..." Su Hui muttered to himself.

"Su Hui, why do you forget everything when you're drunk?" Ning Yixiao squeezed his face, "Didn't you live with me for the rest of your life in hallucinations? You became two old grandpas, don't you remember?"

Su Hui stared straight at him, as if she had something to say, but she was confused, frowning, choking for a long time, Ning Yixiao thought he would not respond, but unexpectedly he opened his mouth .

"Have we... lived a lifetime..."

Seeing that he was serious, Ning Yixiao couldn't help teasing him, "No."

"We broke up later."

"In the winter when you were 20 years old, you were separated for 2195 days."

After he finished speaking, Su Hui's expression suddenly changed.He looked sad, and his eyes were confused and bewildered.

"really?"

Ning Yixiao nodded, "Yes."

He didn't expect Su Hui to burst into tears suddenly, even Su Hui herself didn't know why she was crying.

It was only at this time that Ning Yixiao realized that Su Hui's brain might really not be able to distinguish everything in front of him, but his subconscious mind was always sad about it, as if getting rid of stress and subconsciously choosing to let go of this trauma.

He began to regret teasing him like this, so he gently wiped his tears for him, and pulled Su Hui into his arms, "It's my fault, my fault, stop crying."

"Why did you tell me..." Su Hui leaned on Ning Yixiao's shoulder, gritted his teeth and tried to bear it, but he still couldn't stop sobbing, and complained childishly, "I like you very much."

"I know." Ning Yixiao helped him up, stroked Su Hui's face, and kissed away his tears, "Stop crying, okay?"

Su Hui felt so strange, he seemed to have lost a large part of his memory inexplicably, jumping from a rainy day at the age of 20 to the present moment, Ning Yixiao in front of him was a little strange, but he was very afraid of losing him.

It’s ridiculous.

He didn't know if it was a side effect of the drug, or something was wrong with his own brain.

When he stopped crying, he couldn't help staring at Ning Yixiao again, and for some reason, he stretched out his hand and touched the mole at the corner of his eye.

He really wanted to confirm whether the person in front of him existed or not.

Ning Yixiao held his hand and asked softly, "Little cat, can I kiss you?"

Su Hui didn't know why he called her a kitten, but she looked into his eyes and nodded in a mysterious way.Ning Yixiao leaned over and kissed him, at first it was just a peck, but soon she protruded freely, disturbed, and drew out desire deftly like a swimming fish.

It was raining outside, and the rain was sliding down the window glass.

When they parted, their lips also involved the unbroken waterline.

Ning Yixiao stared into Su Hui's eyes.He looked at himself with a kind of stunned and sinking eyes that were different from the past, with the smell of wet wine and disorganized thoughts, forming a very strange aesthetic feeling.

The gaze between them was as long as a silent deep breath.

Ning Yixiao spoke again, with a hoarse voice, "We will meet again on December 26, when you were 12 years old, and it snowed that day, and your expression is very similar to now, as if you are about to cry in front of me .”

"We'll get back together, we'll stay together forever, we'll grow old, as you can imagine."

The moment Su Hui blinked, she frowned again and shed a tear.

"You spoiled..."

Ning Yixiao smiled, "You won't say that tomorrow."

Su Hui was speechless, but Ning Yixiao asked him if he could kiss again, and he was dazed again, but this time it was much more intense than the last time, which was beyond his expectation.

The wrist was pressed against the icy glass window, and Su Hui was pushed against the car door in the narrow space. The kiss was so ecstatic, the pain and excitement burrowed from the bottom of his heart, and he quickly lost his reason and judgment.

He is like a ripe apricot, the thin outer skin will naturally fall off when you hold it with both hands.But Ning Yixiao was also very strange, obviously took off his coat, but put his suit jacket on his bare shoulders.

From the perspective of looking down, Ning Yixiao's face is particularly beautiful. His smile is not like the friendly and gentle camouflage during social interaction, but a kind of softness that restrains aggressiveness, provocative and teasing, and the words and behaviors he utters In comparison, it looks extremely unorthodox.

"Didn't you say you like me? Do you like me this way?"

Su Hui couldn't resist, subconsciously bowed her waist, put her arms around Ning Yixiao's neck, and buried her face in the hollow of his shoulder.

He began to lose control of his speech and pronunciation, becoming slurred, words separated by sticky breath.

Ning Yixiao tilted his head, listened to the nonsense strung together in Chinese and English, and the many "no" mixed in it, laughed and asked him back.

"Why not?"

Su Hui was very confused by his casualness.

But Ning Yixiao got closer and lowered his voice, "I'll spoil the last sentence again."

"what……"

"We've done it many times."

Ning Yixiao's lips brush against Su Hui's earlobe.

"Countless times."

The author has something to say:

Ning Yixiao, you are really... (pointing)
