flameout

At the end of the inspection of the Binhai project, the sun had not yet set, but Ji Yue stopped Qi Peisheng hesitantly when he was about to board the car to go home.The few small models of residents in the sales center evoked Ji Yue's deep attachment to home. Ji Minghui passed away, he had no home, but the house was still there, Ji Yue thought, he shouldn't escape like this.He has been in good condition these past few days, so he should go back and have a look.

"What's wrong?" Qi Peisheng whispered.

"I want to go back to Oil Street to pack my things." Ji Yue lowered his head, his hair covered his eyes, he was still somewhat restrained.

Qi Peisheng paused slightly, as if he wanted to see his eyes, but failed, and then replied: "Let's go."

He led Ji Yue into the car, and said to the driver, "Go to Oil Street."

It was not yet the rush hour for commuting, so the road was not considered congested, but before the car arrived downstairs at Ji Yue's house, it was because there were too many illegally parked vehicles on the side of the road in the community, and the road was not wide enough for their cars to pass , Ji Yue had no choice but to get off the car early.

Turning around, Qi Peisheng also got out of the car, and Ji Yue turned his head to look at him. In the evening, Qi Peisheng and the background of vehicles parked randomly in You Street and vendors selling vegetables everywhere were so out of place. A young man raised his head and his eyes stopped not far away. He didn't take his eyes off the shiny black car.

"It's convenient to live here."

Ji Yue heard Qi Peisheng's voice coming from a distance of a car, with a flat tone of emotion.

Just like in Mansion No. [-] that year, Ji Yue thought that Qi Peisheng was busy planning strategies, so he was arrogant and indifferent, but when he turned his head, Qi Peisheng was actually a very close person.

There is no elevator in Tongzilou, so even Qi Peisheng can only follow Ji Yue on foot. The corridor has a rotten smell due to the accumulation of construction waste and broken furniture all year round. The light is dim, and the voice-activated light has long been damaged.

Ji Yue's hands trembled a little when he took out the key. He inserted the key into the keyhole slowly, and Qi Peisheng behind him didn't urge him. The whole process lasted about 30 seconds before he saw Ji Yue's white fingers gradually exerting force and twisting the key. unlocked.

However, the moment the door opened, Ji Yue regretted it. He didn't have the courage to walk into this room at all. Even though Qi Peisheng was behind him, he still didn't have the courage to face this room filled with the breath of Ji Minghui's life.

People say that if parents are alive, there is still a place to come from in life, but when parents go, there is only a way back in life.

Ji Yue's eyes blurred with tears in an instant, Qi Peisheng stood beside Ji Yue at this time, opened the shoe cabinet and saw only a pair of spare slippers, presumably for Ji Yue, Ji Yue seemed to hear him sigh softly, and then embraced Passing Ji Yue's shoulder, his subordinates pushed forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "Put on your shoes and step in."

Ji Yue seemed to come back to his senses suddenly at this time, and wiped away the tears on his face with the back of his hand.

The whole room is not as big as Qi Peisheng's bedroom. The sound insulation of the old house is not good, and you can still hear the shouts of shopping downstairs in the room. Ji Yue feels that his legs are tied and he can hardly move.

Although the room was small, it had two bedrooms. Qi Peisheng turned his head, pretending not to see the tears on Ji Yue's face, and asked, "Have you lived here before?"

Ji Yue shook his head, choked and said, "I only lived there at first, but then I excused myself to be too busy, so I didn't even want to come and visit him."

Ji Yue thought, at first he always felt that the time was still very long, even though he said he didn't complain, deep down he never stopped complaining to Ji Minghui.But now, there is nothing worse than this, when a child wants to support a child but does not wait for a relative. When life and death are separated, no one can say a word of no regrets.

Ji Yue took a deep breath, tears rolled down his eyelashes, he simply stood by the window, and stopped looking at the furnishings in the room.

Qi Peisheng followed Ji Yue, just leaning against the window. He looked around the whole room and said inadvertently: "It's very convenient to buy vegetables and go to the park here. It's suitable for the elderly. The things in the house are neatly arranged. I think they clean up the house regularly. , your father should be quite happy living here."

But Ji Yue choked up even more because of Qi Peisheng's words, he clenched his lower lip, almost bleeding.

Qi Peisheng turned his head, looked at Ji Yue with eyes like water, wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of Ji Yue's eyes, and whispered: "Go and see what you want to bring, and then we will go home."

Hearing this, Ji Yue lowered his head and buried his face in Qi Peisheng's palm: "Thank you."

It was already dark when I returned to the mountain villa where I had been away for two months. In the past eight years, Ji Yue has traveled this road up and down the mountain countless times.

Ji Yue leaned on Qi Peisheng's shoulder, wrapped his arms around Qi Peisheng's arm, and heard Qi Peisheng ask him: "I'm going to Linshi tomorrow, do you want to go with me, or stay at home for a day?"

Ji Yue asked: "When will you come back?"

"I guess I'll be back in the afternoon."

Ji Yue thought for a while, then said hoarsely, "I want to visit my dad tomorrow."

Qi Peisheng looked at Ji Yue, and didn't speak for a while. Ji Yue understood his worry, and took the initiative to say: "I know my situation, and I want to ask He Bo to accompany me. You don't have to worry."

"That's fine, call me if you need anything." Qi Peisheng responded.

The next morning Qi Peisheng left home early, Ji Yue got up from the bed half an hour after he left, and looked at himself in the mirror while washing, looking listless and tired.

Qi Peisheng has already helped him a lot, and Ji Yue understands that he can only rely on himself in the long road to recovery.It's just that this knowledge still made Ji Yue's nose sour instantly. He lowered his head and wet his face with water, unwilling to let himself be kidnapped by emotions.

Ji Yue took a deep breath and tried his best to cheer up. From Qi Peisheng to Ji Minghui, he had his own obligations and responsibilities. He had avoided it for too long. At this time, he suddenly came to his senses and wanted to make up for it as much as possible.

Really say goodbye to Ji Minghui.

Really started with Qi Peisheng.

When Ji Yue went out, he sent a message to Qi Peisheng: Sir, He Bo and I went out.

It took about ten minutes before I received Qi Peisheng's reply: "Okay, be good."

In just a few words, Ji Yue rubbed the screen, and felt his fluctuating heart settle down again.

However, Ji Yue never expected that when he returned home, the Qi family, which had always been closed, had guests.

In other words, it is the master in the true sense.

The woman sitting on the sofa turned her head when she heard the sound of the door. She was not young, about 60 years old, but her hair was dyed dark brown, curled and coiled behind her head, showing a kind smile: "Come back gone."

Ji Yue froze in the hallway at a loss for a while, but He Conglian who was behind him reacted in time and nodded at the woman: "Ma'am."

Ji Yue was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he really match the woman in front of him with the imagination in his mind.

The person who came was Qi Peisheng's mother, Zhong Junhong.

"Do you know who I am?" Zhong Junhong raised her hands very gracefully, she poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Ji Yue, her words were gentle.

Ji Yue nodded dully: "I've seen your picture." Qi Peisheng's facial outline is very similar to that of his father Qi Zhenyao, but his eyebrows and eyes are almost carved out of the same mold as the person in front of him, but Ji Yue dare not stare at him , he felt uneasy, he didn't feel like he saw his mother-in-law, but he saw a strict teacher, so he didn't dare to act rashly.So after speaking, he lowered his head again, pretending to drink water.

"There is everything on the Internet, and there is no surprise at all. People say that I look like Pearson's sister, not his mother." Zhong Junhong laughed.

Hearing this, Ji Yue quickly added: "You are indeed very young and beautiful."

"Then tell me, am I like his sister or his sister?"

Ji Yue was startled, he didn't know how to answer, he raised his head and met Zhong Junhong's gaze, her eyes were teasing, Ji Yue pursed his lips, feeling that he was being teased.

Zhong Junhong always had a gentle smile on his face, and only then slowly said: "Your name is Ji Yue, right?"

"Yes." Ji Yue nodded.

"What year?"

Ji Yue was taken aback, and replied: "In 91." After he finished speaking, he couldn't help biting his lower lip, not knowing what kind of questions Zhong Junhong would ask next, and he was very nervous.

However, Ji Yue didn't expect that Zhong Junhong's smile was restrained when he heard the words, and his eyes froze for a moment, as if he had thought of something. Ji Yue didn't know what went wrong, and his heart was lifted into the air, and Seeing Zhong Junhong smiled gently and sighed, then sighed helplessly.

"My son."

Ji Yue didn't understand, so he didn't dare to answer. Zhong Junhong turned his head and asked him: "Tell me about you and Qi Peisheng. Don't be afraid, his father and I have long since asked about his personal affairs. Come, just to see you."

Ji Yue didn't dare to hide anything, and only picked some important things to say, but Zhong Junhong couldn't stop him from continuing to ask, so after a conversation, he also talked about his relationship with Qi Peisheng these years.

"He is successful in his career, and he feels that he is so powerful that he can abuse others." In the middle, even though Ji Yue had already concealed too much, Zhong Junhong couldn't help but said.

"No, sir never made any promises at the beginning, and he didn't lie to me. It's all my wishful thinking. He didn't do anything wrong." Ji Yue couldn't help defending himself.

Zhong Junhong shook his head: "Come on, you don't have to speak for him, I know what kind of person my son is, hey, I know why he left you alone, where can I find such an obedient child? And count the money for him."

After a pause, Zhong Junhong sighed, turned his head to look at Ji Yue, and sighed: "He is so handsome... Hey, I thought he was excellent at first, and he had a high vision. Men and women don't know what kind of person he will find. I know after meeting you, I didn't expect him to be selfish by nature, and it's the same in his relationship, you are willing to eat him to death, you are obedient and obedient, and save him worry and trouble."

Zhong Junhong patted the back of Ji Yue's hand at this time, suddenly remembered, and said: "I said you were sick earlier, is your condition better now?"

"It's much better." Ji Yue replied.But I don't know if it was his own illusion, Ji Yue felt that Zhong Junhong's tone of voice towards Qi Peisheng was a bit too objective, and it was more natural to care and be close to himself.But Ji Yue knew that after he got sick, he became sensitive to external emotions, so he thought maybe it was his own illusion.

He just wanted not to be hated by Qi Peisheng's mother, and to continue to stay by Qi Peisheng's side.

Until later, Qi Peisheng and his father Qi Zhenyao came back from Guangsheng together. Qi Zhenyao had no obvious enthusiasm or indifference towards Ji Yue. He was still talking to Qi Peisheng about a project of Guangsheng and the recent policy changes after dinner .

It wasn't until the end of the news broadcast that Zhong Junhong said that he wanted to rest early, and went to the villa behind with Qi Zhenyao.

Qi Peisheng and Ji Yue were the only two left in the huge room for a while, Ji Yue asked Qi Peisheng why Zhong Junhong and Qi Zhenyao came over suddenly.

Qi Peisheng smiled and didn't answer, but asked instead: "Are you scared? They don't care about me, they just saw you, how was your talk with my mother this afternoon?"

Ji Yue said everything in detail, seeing Qi Peisheng's face was determined, as if everything was in his expectation.

"Sir, is there anything else I don't know..." Ji Yue tentatively asked.

Qi Peisheng squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and lifted the broken hair next to Ji Yue's ear: "The sick man is smart enough to go back."

Ji Yue thought that Qi Peisheng would not talk anymore, because Qi Peisheng had already dragged him upstairs, walked into the bathroom to put water in the bathtub, and there was the sound of water flowing in his ears, but at this moment Ji Yue suddenly heard Qi Peisheng speak.

"I was actually twins when I was born, but my younger brother died. My mother regretted this incident. She was pregnant again until 90, but at that time she was traveling with my father on business. She was too tired and had no children. Keep it."

What he said was light and simple, but it fell into Ji Yue's ears like a thunderclap, enough for Ji Yue to piece together a truth that was not cruel but quite realistic.

"But it's not just because of these things that I don't kiss her. Over the years, she is also getting older, and sometimes wants to get closer to me, but I don't have the time and energy to deal with it, and she can't find a way."

After a pause, Qi Peisheng picked up a bottle of lavender essential oil, poured a few drops into the bathtub, and dragged Ji Yue, who was a little dazed, into the water.

"So she will definitely like you, Xiao Yue." Qi Peisheng closed his eyes and said.
