Chapter 19: The Chain Reaction of a Little Lie
Chang Letong soon developed a high fever, his mental state continued to be bad, no one except Ji Heng could be appeased, as soon as he left her, he broke down and cried, which made Ji Heng exhausted, and it was not until the afternoon of the third day that Ji Heng found a chance to leave Chang's house. At this time, Ren Tian and they had been back to China for more than a day, although she couldn't contact Ji Heng, she was very uneasy, but she still chose to believe him and support him, so she didn't continue to call him, but silently followed the team back to the base and continued her work according to the team's arrangement.
Ji Heng ran to the city, made up the mobile phone card and immediately called her, when she saw Ji Heng's call on the mobile phone, the grievances and suspicions of the past few days came to her heart, she answered the phone, couldn't say anything, and tears seemed to flow out.
"Hey, Xiaotian, are you there?" Ji Heng heard only silence on the other end of the phone, and said anxiously.
Ren Tian remembered that Ji Heng was worried about his mother's affairs, so he quickly collected his emotions and pretended to be fine, and said, "Yes, the phone was connected to Bluetooth just now." How's your case going? ”
"Almost, I'm going to take some time off. You take care of yourself. Ji Heng said.
"Okay, have you been at your parents' house these days?" Ren Tian asked.
Ji Heng hesitated: "Well, I'll be back in a few days, there is something going on here, and I may not be able to contact you often recently." He thought about it in his heart, and he really couldn't say anything about Chang Letong.
Ren Tian, who hung up the phone, couldn't continue to work, she couldn't help but be upset, opened Weibo, and saw that the entertainment news was full of occasional e-sports news, most of which were about this MSI game, and the fans' enthusiasm for Ji Heng made them build a Ji Heng's super talk, which contained all kinds of content about him.
"I was so depraved that I wanted to go online to see the news of my boyfriend." Ren Tian thought a little self-deprecatingly.
After flipping through several pages of news about him, a Weibo post with a relatively high number of likes caught her attention. That's a guy named Na 4eve
's blogger posted it, the time is the day they were in Paris, with pictures of the streets and shopping in Paris, and the text mentioned that she met Ji Heng and Wu Bai in Paris, and also @ a person named Red Pikachu.
Ji Heng's favorite is Pikachu, so the ID of this red Pikachu immediately aroused Ren Tian's interest, she clicked into her homepage, although the headshot as an avatar was very exaggerated, but she still recognized it at once It should be Chang Letong.
A recent Weibo post was actually written last night: "Happiness is that the person you love the most will always be with you." "There is a picture below, it is a boy standing by the window with a very vague back, even if it is so blurry, Ren Tian almost instantly recognized who it was.
At that moment, a feeling of collapse hit, Ren Tian rubbed her eyes, suspecting that she had seen it wrong, she calmed down, took a deep breath, and looked again, it would not be wrong, that was Ji Heng.
The feeling that something was wrong in the past few days finally found the reason, Ren Tian sat in front of the computer, heard his heart beating very hard, and after about a minute, tears flowed out, she hugged her hands and cried with a whimper, every word Ji Heng said to her became a lie at this time, she wanted to question him, but she didn't have the courage, she was worried that it would be irreparable after it was punctured.
Her phone came to mind, and Wu Xiaoyou's voice came from there: "Xiao Tiantian, you won't look for me when you come back, I want it today... Eh, what's wrong with you, are you crying? ”
Hearing this, Ren Tian's tears flowed even more. Wu Xiaoyou was anxious: "What's wrong with you?" Are you on the team? I'm coming to you now. ”
Wu Xiaoyou was with Wu Bai at this time, she had planned to invite a few of them to dinner today, but when she heard Wu Xiaoyou's words, Wu Bai immediately stood up.
The two went to EVE's base together, called Ren Tian out, and the passing little k saw Ren Tian get into an off-road vehicle, took a closer look, and found that it was Wu Bai who was driving, so he couldn't help scratching his head and muttering to himself: "What's the situation?" ”
Ren Tian didn't cry anymore, but his eyes were still swollen, Wu Xiaoyou looked at her and said worriedly, "What about Ji Heng?" Did he make you cry? ”
Ren Tian didn't speak, leaned his head on the tall backrest of the car, Wu Xiaoyou was out of line, and said to Wu Bai: "What should I do?" You'll find a way. Aren't you the most skilled at women? ”
Wu Bai looked at Ren Tian in the rearview mirror and said, "Why don't I take you to Ji Heng?" I know where his home is. ”
The Ji Heng family he is talking about here is Ji Heng's parents' house, and when Ren Tian heard it, he really spoke: "Okay." And he said, "Don't tell him, I want to go quietly." ”
Wu Bai hesitated, and Ren Tian turned his eyes to look at him at this time: "Is it okay?" ”
He gritted his teeth: "Okay." ”
Ji Heng's community management is very strict, ordinary people can't get in at all, but fortunately, Wu Bai's car is high-end enough, saying that he made an appointment to come to see the second-hand house, so he fooled the security guard to open the door for them.
Ji Heng's villa is a separate courtyard, and he has set up another fence and an iron fence gate in the community, so they really can't enter here, so they can only park outside the gate and wait.
"Xiaotian, are you doubting Ji Heng? But it doesn't work, we can't get in at all. Wu Xiaoyou said next to him.
After the impulse just now, Ren Tian suddenly felt that he was so stupid, and was about to ask Wu Bai to turn around and leave quickly, but the iron fence of Ji Heng's house opened at this time, and a nanny-like person came out with a bunch of cardboard boxes, standing on the side of the road and seemed to be waiting for someone.
When Wu Xiaoyou saw it, he immediately got out of the car, ran to the side of the aunt and said a few words, and then ran back.
"Xiaotian, Ji Heng is not at home, let's not wait." She said.
Ren Tian seemed to be pierced with a thorn in his heart, and asked, "What did Auntie say?" ”
"I said that I was a friend of Ji Heng, and he asked me to come over to him to get something, and the aunt said that Ji Heng didn't live at home during this time, maybe he was in his own house. What to do? Are we going over there? ”
The thorn in Ren Tian's heart was stabbed a few points further, he was really lying, so had he been living in Chang Letong's house all along. This speculation made her feel very uncomfortable. Wu Bai opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her, saying, "Why don't you tell us what happened first?" ”
When she finished talking about the cause and effect, Wu Xiaoyou was angry and scolded Ji Heng as a scumbag.
Wu Bai stopped Wu Xiaoyou and said, "Xiaotian, random speculation will only make you more uncomfortable, you might as well ask him directly." But if Ji Heng wanted to be with that girl, he would have been together a long time ago, so why bother so much. ”
Wu Xiaoyou looked at her cousin speechlessly: "Isn't the scumbag just going to be left and right?" Are you men going to cover up men? ”
“。。。。。。”
Ren Tian saw that their brother and sister were arguing, and said, "Let's go." ”
Wu Bai started the car.
When the car arrived at the city center, Ren Tian stopped Wu Bai: "Wu Bai, let me go here, I want to go down and have a look." ”
Wu Xiaoyou hurriedly said: "Don't, I still want to invite you to dinner, thank you for coming back from the United States today, and he will come over later." And you're in a bad mood, how can you do it alone? ”
Ren Tian heard that Xie Yi was also coming, and she was even more reluctant to go, she was in a very bad mood now, and she especially didn't want to pass on this emotion to others.
This place is very far away from EVE's base, Wu Bai hesitated and said, "I'd better send you back to the base." ”
Ren Tian shook his head and squeezed out a smile: "What do you think?" Even if I really broke up with Ji Heng, it wouldn't be good. Don't worry about me, I just want to be alone for a while. Stop your car, Wu Bai. ”
Wu Bai saw that she was very persistent, so she had to stop the car, Wu Xiaoyou was still talking, Wu Bai stopped her and let Ren Tian get out of the car alone.
"Wu Bai, what are you doing? Do you think she's still letting her go alone? Wu Xiaoyou said.
"Forget it, she doesn't want us to follow her now, so let her be." Wu Bai said.
"But what if something happens to her alone?"
"No, it won't."
Ren got out of the car and walked forward alone, she had just decided to call Ji Heng in the car, but she didn't want to use her mobile phone, she wanted to find a public phone that he couldn't find the caller to call him. It's a pity that she can't find the kind of phone she wants on the street now. She walked for a long time, and suddenly remembered that there was a telephone that could be used to put in coins near the place where she used to work at school, and hurriedly took a taxi to rush over.
Fortunately, the phone still worked, and after she dialed Ji Heng's number, her heart kept beating wildly. After a lot of noises, it finally picked up.
"Hey, who's that?" A familiar voice sounded on the other side, Ren Tian's nose was sore, and then she suddenly wanted to speak and ask him what was going on.
Just as the voice was about to come out of her throat, a girl's voice appeared near Ji Heng's side: "What's wrong?" Is anyone looking for you? That voice was soft and pleasant, and Ren Tian knew who it was when he heard it. The phone on her phone was on the verge of falling, and she clung to it, keeping it from making a sound.
"Maybe it's a mistake." Ji Heng said that he fed two more times and hung up the phone.
Ren Tian was heartbroken for the second time today, but she seemed to have become numb, but instead of crying like the previous time. She gently hung up the phone, and the person seemed to be a little distracted and walked forward.
She had walked this road many times when she was in college before, and as she walked, she looked up and saw the street basketball court where Ji Heng and she chatted for the first time, and on the tall building in the distance, where Ji Heng's large billboard used to be hung, was replaced by another advertisement, and the bench where they used to sit and chat has been demolished. In less than a year, a lot has changed here.
Ren Tian felt that her head was very messy, she couldn't figure out many things, she didn't know why he was lying to herself, and she didn't know what had happened these days, he was with someone else, and even whether Ji Heng was playing with himself all the time was a little confused. She stood stupidly on the edge of the court where they had been for a moment, then casually walked into a nearby bar and ordered a bunch of drinks.
A glass of whiskey seemed to make her heart feel much better, so she drank another glass, and soon she felt fluttering, and everything around her did not seem real, and the sad thing was far away from her.
Ren Tian didn't notice that there were a lot of boys in this bar, including college students from the neighborhood and people from the society who came to hunt for beauty, and when a beautiful girl like her just came in, one of them was already eyeing her.
He saw that Ren Tian was drunk after a few strokes, and he was secretly happy in his heart, walked over, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, "Beauty, do you want me to drink with you." ”
Ren Tian looked at this squinting face and instinctively wanted to push her away, but the person who drank too much couldn't exert his strength at all, and the man grabbed her arm and took her into his arms.
"What are you doing?" At this time, a person on the side said that his voice was not loud, but it was very intimidating, and the man said and pulled the hand of the person who was holding Ren Tian.
"Who are you?" The person who was pulled away yelled in displeasure.
The boy next to him is very tall and has a very beautiful face, but now when he is angry, he looks a little infiltrating, he looks at the man who wants to take advantage coldly, and his eyes are very unkind.
"She's my girlfriend."
"I'm sorry, I'm looking at her alone...
"Get out!" The boy who was standing shouted, and the boy who took advantage of it quickly ran away.
The boy helped Ren Tian sit down, and Ren Tian carefully discerned it, the dim light and excessive alcohol made it take her a long time to see his face clearly.
"Wu Bai?"
“。。。。 You're really bad at drinking, I'll send you back. ”
"Why are you here?"
“。。。。”
It turned out that after she got out of the car, Wu Bai asked Wu Xiaoyou to drive the car away, but he kept quietly following her, watching her walk on the street in despair, watching her make phone calls, and watching her go into the bar to drink, he didn't want to embarrass her, so he quietly became a guardian in the shadows. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ren Tian drank two glasses of wine, someone came to harass him.
Ren Tian saw that he didn't speak, nor was he entangled, she picked up the empty cup and poured a glass of wine for Wu Baiye, and said, "Come, let's have a drink." ”
Wu Bai hadn't moved yet, Ren Tian had already drunk all the wine in his cup, Wu Bai couldn't win the robbery, so he had to take her hand and say, "You can't drink anymore, I'll take you back." ”
Ren Tian shook her head, her eyes were wet, as if the wine she had just drunk had poured into her sockets, and then she collapsed on the chair at the bar.
Wu Bai helplessly helped her up, but she drank three glasses of high-purity wine in a row, and now it has become a problem to even stand up, so he can only carry her on his back, and then leave the bar.
When I walked outside, the sky was dark, the sky was full of stars, and the air was cool and humid. Wu Bai carried the hot and soft body on his back, but his heart was a little hot. He asked her softly if she wanted to vomit or drink water, but the person on her back did not respond, and let out a shallow snoring sound, so he had to take her to take a taxi back to his apartment.
Wu Bai's apartment is not big, but the location is excellent, sitting in the living room and bedroom can see the Oriental Pearl Tower at a glance. He put Ren Tian on the bed, wrung a towel to wipe her face, and then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her carefully.
Ren Tian didn't drink enough, but the wine was very good, she didn't vomit or make trouble after drinking too much, she just slept, and now she slept there with a red face, her long eyelashes on her face, her lovely red lips and flesh pouted, and the skirt she was wearing tightly wrapped around her delicate body, this scene really had a fatal attraction for Wu Bai at this moment.
He gently touched her cheek, and the bouncy sensation made him crook the corners of his mouth and laugh.
"If I'm a bad person, you're done today." He whispered to Ren Tian, who was asleep, and Ren Tian didn't react, and he laughed again.
"Why are you drinking today? If you break up, I'll chase you, okay? He buried his head slightly and said into her ear.
Ren Tian's eyelashes seemed to move, Wu Bai was startled, he sat up, but Ren Tian didn't have the next reaction.
"Okay, I'll go to the living room, you can sleep." Wu Bai stood up, turned off the light and walked out of the bedroom.
Ji Heng was in the guest room prepared for him at Chang's house, and the WeChat message he sent to Ren Tian didn't get a reply, so he simply called, but Ren Tian's mobile phone was turned off.
Ji Heng looked at the time, it was already close to twelve o'clock in the evening, he thought about it for a while and called Xiao K.
"Brother Heng? Why have you been on leave for the past few days? Little K answered the phone and said over there.
"There's something going on at home, is Xiaotian next to you? You ask her to answer the phone. ”
"Okay, I'm playing the ranking, Xiaotian is not in the training room, you wait for me to go to her bedroom and call her." Little K said.
"Forget it, she should have gone to bed, I'll look for her tomorrow." Ji Heng said.
Xiao K thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, Wu Bai came to look for her in the afternoon, captain, you still have to come back quickly." ”
Ji Heng's heart suddenly became a little chaotic, and said, "Okay, you continue to play ranked, hang up." ”
Ji Heng, who hung up the phone, somehow remembered the silent phone in the afternoon, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed back to that number.
The phone rang for a long time and no one answered, so Ji Heng had no choice but to hang up the phone. At this moment, he suddenly missed Ren Tian very much, and just wanted to go back to her side immediately, he touched the car keys in his pocket, and was about to go out. There was a knock on the door, and Chang's mother's voice came: "Xiaoheng, have you slept?" Le Tong asked you to come over and wanted to say a word to you. ”
When Ren Tian woke up, her head was splitting, she saw the white ceiling, found herself lying in a completely unfamiliar room, and jumped in fright.
She checked herself up and down, and found that her clothes and skirts were still worn well, and there were no traces of violation, so she was relieved. She opened the curtains again, and the sun after six o'clock in the morning suddenly poured into the room, and the furnishings in the room also came into view, this should be a boy's room, there were many vinyl record plates of rock bands on the cabinet against the wall, some Naruto figure models, and a basketball rolling on the floor at the foot of the house.
She opened the door, and outside was the living room, and a man slept on the sofa in the middle, wrapped in a blanket, with his head buried in the pillow. She walked over and pulled out a pillow, only then did she see the face clearly: "Wu Bai? She cried out in surprise.
Wu Bai opened his confused eyes, sat up and looked at Ren Tian: "Awake?" Are you uncomfortable? ”
Ren Tian nodded and replied honestly: "I have a headache." ”
Wu Bai sighed, got up and poured a glass of juice into the kitchen, handed it to Ren Tian, and said softly: "Originally, it was best to drink milk, but you can only drink juice." ”
Ren Tian remembered the first time she drank milk and met Wu Bai, smiled slightly, and had a headache, she quickly raised her head and drank the juice, recalling the scene before the fragment yesterday, there was indeed no Wu Bai in it, so she asked, "How are we together?" How did you find me? ”
"Hmmm... I actually followed you yesterday. Wu Bai said a little embarrassed
“。。。。。 I look ugly when I'm drunk. Ren Tian said.
"Haven't you seen me drunk too? Pretty much. Wu Bai said.
Ren Tian remembered that he had indeed seen Wu Bai drunk in Tokyo, and that Ji Heng had been in her room all night that day, his head hurt again, and his face suddenly showed a sad expression.
"Don't think about it, come, take you downstairs to eat a little ravioli." Wu Bai touched Ren Tian's hair and took her out the door.
The small wontons are really delicious, and after a bowl of Ren Tian, I feel much more comfortable. Looking at Ren Tian, who had recovered from his spirits, Wu Bai cautiously asked, "Are you okay?" In my experience, buying drunk is useless except for headaches. ”
Ren Tian snorted and said, "I will consider what you said yesterday." ”
"What?" Wu Bai's face turned red with fright, could it be that he was listening to her confession while she was drunk yesterday?
"You said to ask him directly what was going on, and I would have asked." Ren Tian said.
"Oh." The hearts of those who heard this were gloomy.
"Okay, Wu Bai, thank you for taking care of me, I take my leave." Ren Tian stood up, bowed lightly to Wu Bai, and then turned to leave.
Wu Bai's heart for her, how could she not feel it. But now, the matter between her and Ji Heng is already very complicated, and she doesn't want to get involved in one more person, especially since this person is Wu Bai.
