Ji Hangcheng nodded and walked into the living room.

The house is small, just an ordinary two-bedroom apartment, with doors open and neat duvet covers on both beds.

Ji Hang glanced at it, to be honest, he still can't understand Dong Qiyang's concept of love, it's been so long, and they've lived together, lonely men and widows, in the dead of night, can you hold it?

But he just thought about it, after all, this kind of thing was not his turn as an outsider to worry about.

"Brother Hangcheng, I'll go prepare some fruit for you. ”

"Oh, thanks. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Kyoko smiled and left the living room.

Ji Hangcheng sat on the sofa, he looked at the furnishings in the room, and he saw that he was attentive.

Ji Hangcheng looked at it, and was suddenly attracted by a photo wall in the southwest corner, on which were hung all kinds of photos of Dong Qiyang and apricots, and they were also heartily posed in a heart-shaped shape.

After a while, Apricot came to Ji Hangcheng with a side of fruit, "Brother Hangcheng, eat fruit." ”

"Well, thank you. ”

At this moment, Dong Qiyang also walked out of the kitchen.

"Brother, it's time to eat. ”

Ji Hangcheng got up and walked to the restaurant, where there were several dishes on the table.

"Brother Hangcheng, it's all home-cooked dishes, I hope you don't mind. ”

Apricot is polite.

Ji Hangcheng didn't speak, he pulled out a chair and sat down.

The table was a rectangular western dining table, Dong Qiyang and Apricot sat side by side, and Ji Hangcheng sat opposite them.

Before the dinner began, Dong Qiyang raised the cup in his hand, and first saluted Ji Hangcheng with the first cup, which meant to thank him for taking care of him during that time.

After the greetings were over, Dong Qiyang began to show affection with Apricot out of control.

I saw Dong Qiyang take out a small square box from his trouser pocket, and then he was so generous and did not shy away from kneeling down on one knee in front of Apricot in front of Ji Hangcheng.

He slowly opened the small box, which contained a diamond ring, and Apricot covered her mouth with some excitement, "Qiyang-kun." ”

"Apricot, today is my fourteenth birthday with you, every time I want to give you the best thing in the world as a gift, but then I found out that you are the best thing in the world, so this time, I want to use this little ring as a bargaining chip for you to give yourself to me, so that I can have a legal identity to love you, respect you, and accompany you in the future. ”

“...”

Dong Qiyang's every word and sentence is deeply touching and heartfelt, and Ji Hangcheng, who has always hated sensationalism, was a little infected by him.

"Apricot, my parents are no longer there, Brother Hangcheng is my closest family in the world, I invited him today to let him be a testimony of our love, I am serious, I love you, marry me." ”

Dong Qiyang showed a bright smile on his face as he spoke, and Apricot was already in tears, nodding desperately at a loss.

Ji Hangcheng looked at the scene in front of him and said that he didn't feel it at all, it was a lie, how could he not feel it.

He still remembers the last time the brothers talked, when Dong Qiyang talked about apricots, the kind of eagerness to show off, the kind of undisguised pride, and the sparkling look in his eyes when he talked about the little love between them, he really wanted to know where he was.

At that time, he couldn't remember, today, at this moment, he remembered that in the past, when Yan Ziqi told others about his Ji Hangcheng, he was also like Dong Qiyang, and now, it has only been a few years, and he Ji Hangcheng has become a person who Yan Ziqi does not talk about.

And look at this apricot again, the smile is like a flower, the face is happy, and the sense of steadfastness shown by being favored, spoiled, and valued can really make people feel that she is a person who is held on the tip of her heart.

This kind of preference and pampering is something that he Ji Hangcheng has never given Yan Zi an expectation.

It's easy to think of something similar with the same scene.

Ji Hangcheng didn't accompany Yan Ziqi to celebrate his birthday, but she always remembered his birthday, thinking of the last birthday the two spent together, he not only dealt with it perfunctorily, but also ran out to cheat, he felt that he could really be said to be bad to the bone.

In the next time, Ji Hangcheng didn't pay much attention to how his little cousin showed his affection and abuse of dogs, he only felt that he wanted to see Yan Ziqi very much, he wanted to hug her, and then say the last sentence, useless - "I'm sorry"!

But when a person casually discards something that was once available with his bare hands, it is already difficult to get it.

Not to mention hugging, Ji Hangcheng just wants to see Yan Ziqi now, he can't really use the trap of arresting fugitives to her.

That day, Ji Hangcheng was fed a full day of dog food by Dong Qiyang and Apricot, to be honest, he didn't understand that love should be talked about like them before, he always felt that falling in love was a very casual thing, and he didn't need to pay special attention to it, it was a concoction.

And this concoction should be changed frequently, and every flavor should be tried.

In addition, Ji Hangcheng is surrounded by a group of unreliable people, except for playing with feelings and having fun day and night, he will not do anything else.

After returning from Qingshan Village, Ji Hangcheng suddenly got tired of his previous life, and he began to dislike the meaningless drunken gold fan, who could only live for a year, but in fact it was just a day of repetition.

and falling in love, Ji Hangcheng suddenly thought that Dong Qiyang would like a girl so seriously.

Well, yes, he wants to do this, but can Ji Hangcheng do it?

Ignorance.

Because, as the saying goes, it's really hard for a dog to get rid of eating, because if you get used to it, it may not want to eat for a day or two, but if you get used to it, you may still have the possibility of being nostalgic.

The so-called long-term people's hearts have to be verified by time in the end.

However, it is a fact that the love between Dong Qiyang and Apricot has had an impact on Ji Hangcheng.

The days are going by day by day, and in a few days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone is busy preparing for the New Year with great anticipation.

Yan Chenghua is also one of them, too many things have happened in the past two years, and basically he and Yan Ziqi have not had a good year.

Now that life has finally settled down, he wants to have a good Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although Yan Chenghua is currently unable to move and basically relies on a wheelchair for activities, there is no problem in doing some housework.

Just when Yan Chenghua was busy in the kitchen, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Yan Chenghua put down what he was doing, turned off the gas, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted at the gate: "Who!"

"Intra-city express. ”

Yan Chenghua was a little puzzled, yesterday he also heard Yan Ziqi say that many express delivery companies are out of business now, why are there still express delivery.

But doubts are doubts, he still pushed the wheelchair to open the door.

The door opened, and there was a young man standing outside, he was wearing the work clothes of the same city speed, "Hello, please sign for the courier." ”

"I didn't buy anything. ”

"Maybe your family bought it, sign for it. ”

"Oh. ”

Yan Chenghua didn't think much about it and signed.

The courier handed him the things and instructed, "Sir, the courier bill says that it is a fresh product, in order to ensure quality, you remember to hurry up and open the box for acceptance." ”

This is a kind reminder.

"Okay, thanks. ”

Yan Chenghua turned around and walked into the kitchen to get scissors while holding the box, and the door was still open to the outside at this time.

Unwrapping the tape paper, layer after layer, the inside of the carton is a white foam box, Yan Chenghua doesn't know what is inside, the thing is not very heavy.

When he opened the lid of the foam box, he was really shocked by the scene inside, there were dozens of snakes hidden inside.

Yan Chenghua usually didn't study snakes, and he couldn't tell whether these snakes were poisonous or not, but they looked very scary.

What can I do about this, Yan Chenghua panicked, he wanted to throw the foam, but it was full of snakes, and just when he was at a loss, the snakes acted first.

They sniff the scent of their prey, spit out letters, and then stand upright in attack.

Yan Chenghua was frightened, he threw the box out, but it still failed to save the tragedy, several snakes fell on his arms, neck, and some even slipped into his body, the cold feeling made him afraid.

"Help!"

Yan Chenghua shouted.

But his call for help is basically equal to being busy in vain, and now the house he lives in is a commercial house, all of which belong to an independent space, basically the kind of snow that sweeps the door in front of each other, and now is the time to go to work, where will there be people.

Yan Chenghua sat in a wheelchair and fought with a group of snakes, one of them had just been thrown to the ground by him, and the other climbed up.

The snakes left a thousand holes in his body, and they gnawed at his flesh and sucked his blood.

Soon, Yan Chenghua was overwhelmed by the snake's siege.

He felt that he was in pain all over his body, snakes were constantly biting him, and some snakes were already wrapped around his neck, and as he struggled, the snakes became tighter and tighter.

Yan Chenghua kept pulling the snake with his hands, but no matter how he dragged or pulled, the snake was still firmly wrapped around his neck.

At the same time, more and more snakes crawled all over his body.

Yan Chenghua felt the severe pain, his face was flushed, and a terrible feeling of suffocation followed, only to see his eyes widen, his black pupils widened and widened, his hands began to twitch, and the ratio of his two legs stretched forward until he stiffened.

At last...

There is no last.

His life was frozen in this last moment.

Well, he can't see the grand scene of this New Year.

"Master!"

With a "Master" Lian Xiaofan rushed in, and his assistant came in with him.

"This..."

The little assistant's face was pale with fright, Mom, there are so many snakes, this is a scene only in horror movies.

"Call the police, call 120. ”

It's useless to fight anything now, even Xiao Fan knows that Yan Chenghua is dead, but why does the expression on his face look so calm.

didn't seem to be flustered at all, and the little assistant was also puzzled why when he heard the call for help just now, Lian Xiaofan didn't step forward immediately, but stayed at the door and waited for a while.

The little assistant didn't understand, but he didn't think much about it, because today even Xiaofan said that he wanted to come to see an old man, so he followed, presumably this old man was the old gentleman who was bitten to death by a snake.

"That, Teacher Lian, do you want us to avoid it first, this matter is a big deal, in case you get into any trouble, you can't explain it to Sister Ying." ”

Sister Ying is Lian Xiaofan's agent, he is a public figure, and it is not a good thing to appear on such a sensitive occasion after all.

Lian Xiaofan didn't speak, that's right, it's really not good for him to appear here now, but it's not his doing, he naturally doesn't have to be afraid, and if he can use this matter to win favor in front of Yan Ziqi, then Xingtu is not so important.

Lian Xiaofan looked at Yan Chenghua, whose face had begun to turn black in a wheelchair, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Happy New Year, Master. ”

This sentence, he said in a particularly strange tone, and his voice was so small that he could only hear it.

Then, Lian Xiaofan immediately turned around and yelled at the assistant: "Call the police, notify the hospital quickly." ”

"Master. ”

Lian Xiaofan found a stick from the side, and he took those snakes away from Yan Chenghua's body, and in the process, he was even bitten, but it was definitely the kind that couldn't die.

*

Shencheng Conservatory of Music.

Yan Ziqi had an exam today, and just halfway through her answers, several policemen in navy blue uniforms suddenly appeared outside the classroom gate.

Everyone stopped writing and turned their faces out the door.

What's going on?

The invigilator got up and walked from the podium to the door, "Hello, comrade, what is the matter with you?"

"Hello, we are from the Dongcheng District Dispatch/Outlet, may I ask if there is a student here named Yan Ziqi?"

"Yes, you wait. ”

After the teacher finished speaking to the police, he hurriedly turned around and walked to the classroom to Yan Ziqi, and whispered, "They are looking for you." ”

Yan Ziqi put down the pen in his hand, his eyes flashed with doubts, the police were looking for her?

"Okay, teacher. ”

Yan Ziqi put down the pen in his hand and walked out of the classroom.

"Hello, I'm Yan Ziqi. ”

"Hello, we are the police of Dongcheng District Police, my surname is Zeng, and now there is one thing we must inform you, that is, your father, Mr. Yan Chenghua had an accident at home, and unfortunately he still failed to recover his regret after the hospital struggled to save him. ”

When the police said it, it was very smooth, this kind of thing that is not strange to them is a big mountain when it falls on the people of Pingtou.

Yan Ziqi felt an illusion of five thunders on the spot, and she suddenly felt as if her body was being evacuated by something, and then her eyes turned black and fell backwards.

"Be careful. ”

A policeman grabbed her arm with quick eyes.

However, the physiological reaction of Yan Ziqi is only an instantaneous thing, and the plot of the TV series is so exaggerated that it will fall down, and the plot of fainting will rarely exist in reality.

"I... My dad... He... In..."

"I mean..."

"He..."

The more Yan Ziqi tried to speak well, the more incoherent he became.

"I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, come with us. ”

The police took Yan Ziqi away, and they took her directly to the hospital morgue.

"Period. ”

"Sister. ”

There were many people standing outside the morgue, Lu Xuan, Shi Jingyu, and Lian Xiaofan, who should avoid this kind of thing.

Yan Ziqi ignored them, she walked with difficulty, and walked towards the morgue with heavy steps.

It wasn't until she came to Yan Chenghua's corpse that she stopped.

“...”

On a small iron bed, Yan Chenghua was lying on it and looked particularly crowded, perhaps it was the mistake of the hospital staff, the white cloth covering the corpse did not completely cover him, and Yan Ziqi saw his father's big flower arm at a glance.

The totem above is still the same, but there are a few more sad mouths, and it was this flower arm that once blocked her from infinitely many storms.

"Dad, I'm on the horizon, wake up, I'm here to pick you up. ”

Yan Ziqi walked to the bed of the corpse, trying to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and her hand slowly stretched out towards the white cloth covering Yan Chenghua's corpse.

"Dad, don't joke with me, okay, this joke is not funny at all, really, I'm scared, get up, Dad, go home." ”

Yan Ziqi ripped off the white cloth as he spoke, and Yan Chenghua's black and purple face was revealed, except for his terrifying face, the others really looked like he was asleep.

"Period, don't be like this, let your uncle go with peace of mind. ”

Seeing Yan Ziqi like this, Lu Juan hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and gave her the greatest comfort.

Yan Ziqi's body was trembling, and it was the kind that trembled very badly, and her whole person felt as if there was no temperature, cold as ice.

"Period. ”

“...”

Yan Ziqi suddenly broke free, and Lu Juan was unguarded and fell to the ground by her.

Shi Jingyu, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

At this time, even Xiaofan stepped forward and stood beside Yan Ziqi, he didn't say anything pale and weak to comfort her, he just accompanied her like this.

"Dad, don't scare me like this, okay, I really can't afford this joke, you get up, you tell me it's all fake. ”

"Daddy!"

Yan Ziqi kept shaking Yan Chenghua's body, and his sad emotions completely disintegrated at this moment, like a rolling torrent surging, which caught people off guard.

"What's wrong, what the hell is going on?"

"Why was you fine when I left, but now you're like this. ”

Yan Ziqi's trembling hands couldn't be placed, tears kept falling, and the whole person looked very broken.

"Sister, sister, don't be like this. ”

Lian Xiaofan wanted to hug Yan Ziqi, but he still didn't do that, he is not an ordinary person now, he is a public figure, if he does anything out of the ordinary now, he will definitely cause her a lot of trouble at that time.

"Sister, Master is gone, you have to learn to accept this reality, okay?"

In fact, no one knows, Yan Ziqi actually knows more clearly than anyone else that her father is dead, if not, why is she so sad, she just doesn't want to face it.

"Dad, Dad, don't leave me behind, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, didn't you say yesterday that you want to spend a New Year with me? You also said that you want to make my favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, didn't we still agree to go to your favorite concert together? You said you want to teach me to write songs, Dad, don't all these you said count?"

Yan Ziqi's mood is very unstable, her bipolar disorder will attack anytime and anywhere, and now Yu Qing is not on the scene, once this situation is opened, it will be difficult to end.

"Dad, don't you want to do this, okay? I beg you to wake up, I beg you. ”

Yan Ziqi cried a ball, and the people present with that kind of sadness could not empathize.

"Sister, sister. ”

Lian Xiaofan kept shouting Yan Ziqi on the side, he had never seen her like this, the kind of heartbreak that made him feel distressed.

Yan Ziqi didn't pay attention, she just immersed herself in her own world, letting her grief swallow her.

Yan Ziqi felt that her head was about to explode, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't think at all, but even so, the sadness didn't let her go.

"Dad, Dad, don't scare me, Dad, I beg you to look at me, what's wrong with you?"

"Dad, I'm the period, I'm your daughter, Dad, I beg you not to be like this, okay. ”

Yan Ziqi kept crying, and now she seemed to be unable to do anything except be so hysterical.

"Period, woo. ”

Lu Juan broke free from Shi Jingyu's embrace and ran to the side of the corpse bed to cry with Yan Ziqi.

"Period, don't do this, okay?"

It is impossible for Yan Ziqi to take care of others at all now, where will she have the heart to pay attention to Lu Juan and other people.

"Dad!!"

Yan Ziqi's tears slipped across the bridge of his nose and fell on Yan Chenghua's face drop by drop.

She was so sad.

"Yan Zi Period!"

At that time, Ji Hangcheng's voice suddenly appeared outside the morgue door, except for Yan Ziqi, everyone turned their heads and looked at him, among which the biggest reaction should be Lu Juan, followed by Lian Xiaofan.

Lu Juan didn't expect that after many years, she would be able to see him again, and that moment of heartbeat made her understand that she still had expectations for this man.

And Lian Xiaofan was shocked, he didn't expect Ji Hangcheng to still have contact with Yan Ziqi.

"Yan Zi period. ”

Ji Hangcheng rushed into the morgue, there was no one in his eyes except Yan Ziqi, only to see him holding her tightly in his arms.

"Yan Ziqi, I'm here. ”

This time, Yan Ziqi didn't have any special resistance, she let Ji Hangcheng hold herself, and cried bitterly, "I don't have a father anymore, what should I do?"

"What should I do? ”

Yan Ziqi can't tell who is holding her now, she doesn't even have the ability to perceive at all, except for sadness, she is no different from a dead person at all.

"With me, Yan Ziqi, you have me, I will always be with you, okay. ”

Ji Hangcheng patiently comforted over and over again.

When Lu Juan on the side heard this, his heart twitched uncontrollably, as if someone had whipped him with a whip.

Shi Jingyu saw all her performance, and although the expression on his face did not change at all, the clenched fist he hid in his trouser pocket still betrayed him.

"Yan Ziqi, don't be afraid, be good, I'm here. ”

Ji Hangcheng's words were not filtered by his brain at all, it was a natural blurt out, he just wanted to say this, of course he also wanted to do it.

"I don't have a dad anymore, what will I do in the future. ”

Yan Ziqi couldn't listen to Ji Hangcheng's words at all, she just blindly stuck in her own world.

"With me, Yan Ziqi, Ji Hangcheng will protect you for a lifetime. ”

"Dad, Dad. ”

Yan Ziqi's mood suddenly rose, and her whole person became very irritable, and then she bit Ji Hangcheng's shoulder fiercely.

The sudden sharp pain made Ji Hangcheng's brows frown tightly, and his eyes also changed a little, but the movements in his hands did not change in the slightest, and he still hugged Yan Ziqi tightly.

This move can be said to have deeply stimulated Lu Juan and Lian Xiaofan, they saw it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts, but they were not qualified to step forward to stop it.

Yan Ziqi bit Ji Hangcheng's shoulder, fortunately it was winter, if it was summer, his clothes were thin, I was afraid that he would have to suffer a little.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Ziqi fainted due to physical exhaustion, and Ji Hangcheng rushed out of the morgue without saying a word.

“...”

followed, even Xiaofan left, his calculation did not succeed, there was an accident, Ji Hangcheng was an accident that he had not planned, he thought that the person who gave her comfort would be himself.

However, he didn't take this matter too seriously, and now he is no longer the defenseless and slaughtered Lian Xiaofan at the beginning.

He firmly believes that sooner or later, Yan Ziqi will definitely be his.

After everyone left, Shi Jingyu and Lu Juan left.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they went to the parking lot in silence.

It wasn't until he was about to reach the area where Shi Jingyu's car was parked that he spoke: "Lu Xuan, admit defeat, this is fate!"
