Overcome everything just to find you

Hotels

"Everyone, please, you're welcome. My abilities are limited, and I'm afraid I can only give you a meal in return." Kevin made a gesture of invitation.

"You are too polite, return the gift." Bost said while moving his chopsticks, and began to look at the delicious food on the table.

"Yeah. We should help, and we didn't do anything." Foxy said.

"You are here to help me." Kevin said with a smile, "Eat quickly, don't wait for the food to cool."

"Okay. Then we'd better be obedient than respectful." Sharp raised his glass of red wine and saluted Kevin.

"Okay, then we're not going to be polite."

"Yes, you're welcome."

Kevin smiled and said nothing.Marcus picked up the chopsticks but did not pick up the food immediately, but glanced at Kevin, as if to make sure of something, and then moved the chopsticks.

There was talking and laughing at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was pleasant. No one mentioned the bad things of the past two days.

Near the end of dinner, a hand suddenly rested on Kevin's left shoulder.Kevin turned his head to look, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Is today your day off?"

"Yes. That's why I have time to chat with you."

"Is your life okay now? Being the lobby manager of a hotel means you can do what you want. Yes!"

"It's not bad, except that my dad is a little troublesome. You can do it, you can really disappear, disappear without a trace, and you can't be found anywhere. What about you? I saw them today ?"

"I saw them, and I didn't say anything and I didn't want to say anything."

"Kevin, isn't this the manager who picked us up yesterday? Do you know each other very well?" Boster interrupted and asked curiously.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce. He is indeed the manager who picked us up yesterday. His name is Li Kaicheng. He is a friend I have known since I was a child. To be precise, he is someone Liang Jinyan knew, and he is a friend of Liang Jinyan." Kevin told others.

"Your name is not Liang Jinyan anymore? Did you change your name?" Li said, "Seriously, I was shocked when you called me. I thought you died a few years ago, and you died abroad. After all, there was no body or anything."

"Liang Jinyan died abroad. I'm not Liang Jinyan, I'm Kevin Morgan." Kevin said with a smile, but his smile was just a polite one without any emotion.

"Then in your current state, you've got rid of them." Kevin continued.

"Basically. It took so many years of struggle to get to where I am now.

"You rest today, don't you go back to accompany the person you love?"

"Wow, are you going to drive me away? Of course I will. Are you free tonight?"

"What, want a drink?"

"Correct."

Kevin didn't speak, but turned to look at Marcus.Marcus nodded, "I won't go with you, there are still things to deal with tonight. Don't drink too much." Kevin was excited and a little disappointed, but he didn't show it.

"Now?" Kevin turned to Li again.Li nodded in response. "I'm leaving." Kevin said behind Marcus's back, and left with Lee after speaking.

"Have fun drinking," Bost said loudly.When Kevin walked away, he worriedly asked Marcus: "Aren't you worried about him? Let him drink alone. His alcohol capacity should not be very good."

"Let him go alone. I have work to do."

1903

Marcus was alone in the room, standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, watching the brightly lit night view of the city.It's past 23 o'clock, but Kevin hasn't come back yet. Marcus regretted it from the moment he let Kevin go drinking alone, but he also knew that he couldn't always put him in his sight, Now all he can do is wait, and Kevin's cell phone is not answered, even though he has called several times.

There was a knock on the door in the silent room.Marcus puts down his glass, opens the door, and sees a woman driving a drunk Kevin.The woman said she was Li's wife and that the gentleman had been drinking with his lover and they were all drunk, so she took the gentleman back to the hotel.Marcus took Kevin and thanked the woman.

Marcus put Kevin on the sofa, Kevin's face was red from drinking and he fell asleep.Marcus carried Kevin across his arms and walked into the bedroom, gently put him on the bed, helped him take off his shirt and put on clean clothes, and then brought a hot towel to wipe his cheeks.Marcus looked at the sleeping Kevin, bent down slowly, stroked his hot face, and then kissed his lips lightly...

The next day

In the morning, it is not so cold, and the sun shines, giving people a little warmth in the morning.

It hurts so much, Kevin held his head and thought: Where am I?In the hotel room.

That's when Marcus walked into the bedroom. "Wake up. Headache?"

Kevin looked up and saw Marcus leaning against the door frame, "Well, kinda. How did I come back yesterday? I remember Lee and I were drinking at his house, it seemed like we drank a lot, and then...then got drunk...then I don’t remember.” Kevin shook his head several times, trying to wake himself up.

"It was Li's wife who sent you back last night. You were drunk and unconscious when you came back."

"I just remember that I drank a lot. He kept drinking me, a lot."

"If you have a headache, go to sleep. I'll get you a glass of water." Marcus walked out of the bedroom to pour water.

"Drink some warm water." Kevin took the water glass, took a sip, and handed the glass back to Marcus.

Marcus looked at Kevin blankly and said nothing.This made Kevin even more uncomfortable, coupled with a headache, he simply continued to lie down again, with his back to Marcus, not daring to look at him.Kevin felt as if he had done something wrong and made Marcus unhappy. He also knew that he seemed to have done too much last night and drank unconsciously, and he didn't tell Marcus where he went to drink.

Seeing this, Marcus put the cup on the table beside the bed, left the bedroom and the room.

Kevin was lying on the bed, and when he heard a "beep", he knew that Marcus had left.Is he angry, Kevin thought, without saying a word, just... Kevin shook his head, trying to forget these bad guesses.He struggled to get up from the bed, went to the bathroom, and saw himself in the mirror, with a haggard face and dull eyes; only then did Kevin notice that the clothes on his body were not worn yesterday, and he lowered his head in surprise, his face a little bit Turning red, after a few seconds, she slowly raised her head and stared at herself in the mirror.

After washing, go to the living room.Seeing the charging phone on the table, Kevin picked it up to see if there was any news or notification.Nineteen caller IDs, one every few minutes since 10:30 last night, all from Marcus.God, I didn't even know he called me last night. Kevin was surprised and scared at the same time.Last night, because of Marcus's attitude, he was a little angry, so he drank a lot of wine, and put his phone on silent and ignored it.Kevin was so annoyed that he slumped on the sofa with his head buried in his shoulders.

At this time, Marcus came back with something in his hand, "Here, eat something when you're hungry."

Wen Wen raised his head and saw Marcus holding porridge and buns in his hand. "Marcus..." Kevin called out cautiously.

Marcus didn't respond, looking at Kevin blankly.

"Are you angry? You... don't want to talk to me?... I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have drunk so much last night, and I shouldn't have told you. I'm sorry. Also, my mobile phone is turned to silent status, so I didn’t know you called me. I didn’t answer on purpose, really, it wasn’t on purpose.” Kevin mustered up the courage to finish what he wanted to say.

Marcus put the breakfast on the table without speaking, walked to the window, turned his back to Kevin, and looked at the light blue cloudless sky outside the window.

After a few minutes, Marcus left, leaving Kevin alone in the room.Kevin clasped his arms tightly with both hands, and the grip was tighter, and the area around the arms became red and swollen, and his head was buried lower.

……

As night fell, Marcus did not return.Kevin stayed in the room all day, ate nothing but the breakfast Marcus bought, and sat on the sofa weakly except for taking a shower, looking at his phone, wanting to call Marcus But I dare not.Every time I mustered up the courage, but when I clicked to dial, I was discouraged again.I have said what I should and can say, what else can I say, Kevin smiled bitterly, thinking, I am afraid this is the only way to go, and what can I do to redeem it.Forget it, I don't want to bother people anymore.

Kevin got up from the sofa, straightened his coat, and wanted to go out for dinner and walk around to relax.

Walking on the street, the figure and expression of Marcus kept flashing in his mind. The tall back and expressionless expression made Kevin feel sad.

Kevin ordered a bowl of noodles casually in the noodle shop, and after eating a bit indiscriminately, he couldn't eat any more.

Back in the hotel room, it was empty, and Marcus still didn't come back.

At 1 o'clock in the morning, Marcus still did not come back.Kevin was tired and fell asleep in bed after a while.In his sleep, Kevin felt someone touch his face, as if he heard something said by that person.Waking up in the morning, but seeing no one, it was empty.

Kevin spent another day alone, did not go out to play with other people, did not appreciate the beautiful scenery in the eyes of others, because he had already seen those scenery and was already tired of seeing them.

As night fell quietly, Kevin stared helplessly at the coffee table, curled up on the sofa, enduring the pain in his stomach from hunger.Except for a little porridge for breakfast, he has never touched other food. In Kevin's own words, he can't eat and has no appetite.The pain continued to intensify, so uncomfortable that he picked up the water glass on the coffee table and drank a big sip of cold water to relieve the pain.
