Ex-boyfriend

Xu Yue expressionless, nodded and said: "Yes."

It was a greeting.

Chu Yi sat down beside him.A few people who were playing cards together just now came to ask him to start another game. Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "I won't play anymore."

He lowered his head to play with the lighter he had just picked up, pretending to be careless, and asked casually, "How are you doing?"

Xu Yue said perfunctorily, "It's okay."

"I heard you have a good job now."

"Ordinary."

"Married?"

In fact, Chu Yi had seen that there was nothing above Xu Yue's left ring finger, but he still pretended to ask, and he really heard Xu Yue answer: "No."

The corner of Chu Yi's mouth raised, and he asked again: "Then there must be someone?"

Xu Yue didn't answer him immediately, but just looked at Chu Yi carefully.

Chu Yi was not afraid that he would watch it, but he was afraid that he would not. He smiled generously and said, "I just played one a few days ago."

Xu Yue didn't take the bait, but just let out a faint "oh".

Chu Yi continued his efforts and said, "Have you received the postcard I sent you last time?"

Xu Yue said: "The scenery is beautiful."

Chu Yi took advantage of the opportunity to open up the topic and chatted with him about the cultural customs of Africa.As for his photographer boyfriend, of course he never mentioned it.Anyway, it's already in the past tense, what's there to mention?He just wants to have some excitement now, preferably a one-night stand, just play it, don't be responsible.

Chu Yi's eloquence is excellent, no matter what he talks about, he won't stand in the cold.Halfway through the chat, he asked with emotion: "A Yue, how long have we been apart? Seven years, or eight years?"

Xu Yue remained silent.

Chu Yi felt that the atmosphere was almost there, so he stopped hiding his small thoughts, lit another cigarette and took a deep breath.In the lingering smoke, Chu Yi leaned closer to Xu Yue's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "After we're done here, let's have another drink."

This is already stated.

Xu Yue raised his eyebrows, and finally took a serious and careful look at Chu Yi, and then asked an unexpected question: "What is my job?"

"what?"

"Didn't you hear about my work? Do you know what I do now?"

The songs on the stereo changed one after another, and this time it was a fast song, and the vigorous singing and dancing made Chu Yi feel dazed.There was a bang in his ear, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word.

Xu Yue looked at him and smiled, "You really don't know."

It was his first smile of the night.He has a handsome appearance, when he is not smiling, he is as cold as ice, but when he smiles, it melts the ice and snow like a spring breeze blowing over the threshold.

Chu Yi felt itchy, and was about to defend himself, but Xu Yue said first, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to the smell of smoke, so excuse me."

After that, get up and leave.

Chu Yi sat there for a while, until the cigarette in his hand burned his fingers, and then he came back to his senses.Was he... rejected by Xu Yue?

Chu Yi kept following Xu Yue, watching him walk around the box, greeted a few familiar people, and finally found a place to sit down.It happened that there was a young woman sitting next to him, the two of them exchanged a few words first, and then chatted and laughed.

Chu Yi was sitting in the corner, the revolving light above his head was flickering, which made his expression difficult to distinguish.The woman chatting with Xu Yue looked familiar, and Chu Yi couldn't tell her name, but he remembered that she used to be a class flower.It is true that the face looks good and the figure is slim, but who knows?Maybe it's plastic surgery.

Thinking of this, Chu Yi immediately felt annoyed again.

What's the matter with him?Are you jealous?

Eat Xu Yue more vinegar?

At first it was obvious...

Obviously the two of them are so close, but he just couldn't control himself for a while, so Tuxian found someone to play with, and Xu Yue proposed to break up.

Let's divide it, what's so great, who can't live without it?

There are a bunch of numbers stored in Chu Yi's mobile phone, he only needs to make a call, and all kinds of little stars and models are on call, all of them are beautiful and tender, and they can do well in bed.

He doesn't lack a bed partner at all, what he lacks is...

Chu Yi scratched his hair impatiently.

He didn't know what he really wanted.

Might not be there yet.

Or it may have been lost long ago.

A few old classmates came to him with wine bottles to fight for a drink, booing: "If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home, do you want to drink?"

Chu Yi stared at Xu Yue, then turned his head and said, "Drink."

Chu Yi's drinking capacity is actually quite good, but he couldn't stand the crowds drinking with him, and he never refused anyone who came after clinking glasses.Everyone left the box and walked outside the KTV in twos and threes. Chu Yi's feet fluttered, and he felt blurred when he saw anyone.He looked for Xu Yue in the crowd, but he couldn't find it after searching around.

When he was outside, Chu Yi felt a severe headache when he was blown by the cold wind.

His car was parked opposite, but he was so drunk that he couldn't drive, and he didn't bother to ask someone to pick him up, so he just stood at the intersection and took a taxi.

It was nearly midnight, and there were not many cars coming and going on the road. Chu Yi saw a car coming head-on, with a black body and bright lights.

He thought it was a taxi at first, but after waving, he realized something was wrong. Why is this car going in the wrong direction?

At this time, the car had already driven close, and the dazzling lights shone on Chu Yi's eyes, creating a halo.Chu Yi raised his hand to block it, and it was only now that he saw clearly that the person sitting in the driver's seat was actually the Chen Rui who was just thrown away by him a few days ago!

Chen Rui's face was pale, but his eyes were horribly dark.As soon as his eyes met Chu Yi, instead of stepping on the brakes, he accelerated and rushed over.

Chu Yi was startled, but his body became dull after being drunk, and he had no time to react.He watched Chen Rui crashing into him with his car, and many thoughts flooded his mind.

What is this Chen Rui crazy about?

Is he dying?

Where is Xu Yue now?

The next moment, a hand grabbed his arm and pushed him away.

Chu Yi fell to the ground in embarrassment, and there was a piercing crash in his ears.

Bang.

The whole world seemed to stand still at this moment——

Chu Yi was sitting in the corridor outside the emergency room covered in blood.From time to time, passers-by would glance at him, but Chu Yi didn't care, just looked down at his hands.

He also had blood all over his hands.

But it wasn't his own, he was unharmed, at most scratched.And the guy lying in the emergency room...

Chu Yi's alcohol hadn't passed, and his head was still aching.After that crash, his soul seemed to have left his body, and everything that happened next seemed fake, and he couldn't even remember how he came to the hospital.

Did someone call an ambulance?

It should be screaming, after all, so much blood has been shed.

Chu Yi's eyes are still blood red, and everything he sees has a red shadow.

He saw a pair of shoes come into view.

Brown leather shoes, well made.

Chu Yi slowly raised his head and recognized that it was his brother Chu Yu.Chu Yu wore a tie and a neat suit. In the middle of the night, he was dressed as if he was going to an international conference.

Chu Yi called out: "Brother..."

Chu Yu nodded and said, "The police have investigated. That Chen Rui owed a gambling debt. The debt collectors pressed him hard. He was desperate, so he came to you and died together."

"Why did you pull me?"

"Who knows? Maybe you thought you could save him, but you couldn't."

Chu Yi muttered: "Is this considered an innocent disaster?"

Chu Yu didn't speak.

At this time, the door of the emergency room opened, and a doctor wearing a mask came out.Chu Yi wanted to go over to ask about the situation, but his legs were weak, he couldn't stand up, and fell back again.

Chu Yu pressed his shoulder and said, "I'll ask."

Go over and talk to the doctor.

The two of them spoke in a low voice, each word entered Chu Yi's ears, but he didn't understand what it meant.After a while, Chu Yu came back again.

Chu Yi asked: "How is it?"

"He's gone." Chu Yu answered succinctly, "I haven't been rescued."

Chu Yi said in a daze, "Oh."

In fact, it was expected. Chen Rui didn't step on the brakes when he bumped over, and he came here to kill him.

But he was still alive.

Chu Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of the rest."

How to solve it?It must have cost money. There is nothing in this world that money can't solve.Anyway, his life is more valuable than other people's lives.

How wonderful that he is still alive.

But Chu Yi's heart was empty, and he didn't feel lucky about the rest of his life.

Chu Yu went to go through some formalities, and when she came back, she brought back a file bag, which was some of Xu Yue's belongings.

Chu Yi took it over and looked at it. The things were very simple, just a car key, a wallet and a mobile phone.He still doesn't understand why Xu Yue pushed himself away at that time?Did he know that he might die?

Of course, he is really dead now, and Chu Yi will never know the answer to this question.

After hitting so hard, Xu Yue's phone didn't break.Chu Yi tried to turn it on, he was stunned when he saw the password, and then entered his birthday, only to hear a "click", he really got it right.

But... why?

Chu Yi has too many questions, but now he can only find the answers by himself.

He flipped through Xu Yue's cell phone and found that the content on the cell phone was also very simple, there was nothing messy about it.Most of his messages are text messages related to work, occasionally mixed with a few messages to inform his family that he is safe.

It was only after Chu Yi finished reading that Xu Yue opened a foreign trade company with his friends after graduation.

He then looked at the photo album. There wasn't much in the photo album. The few rare landscape photos were taken when he was on a business trip.

This person... is really as rigid and boring as ever.

Why would such a person die to save him?

It was only now that Chu Yi was really sure that Xu Yue had died quietly.He didn't even leave a last word, and his whole body was covered in blood, which was really ugly.

Chu Yi quickly glanced through the album, and when he turned to the bottom, a special photo jumped into his eyes.It was a remake of the photo, the bottom photo was already yellowed, it was torn apart and then glued together again, and the person in the photo... turned out to be Chu Yi.

Chu Yi couldn't remember when this photo was taken. In the photo, he was wearing his high school uniform and sleeping on the table.The sun was setting outside the window, and the golden sunlight was jumping between his brows and eyes, and the long eyelashes cast mottled shadows, which was so gentle that it took one's breath away.

Chu Yi caught a glimpse of a line of small characters written in the lower right corner of the photo. The handwriting was elegant and dignified, and it was Xu Yue's handwriting.

He zoomed in for a closer look, and suddenly his eyes froze.

Xu Yue only wrote three characters in total.

--I love you.
