Chapter Seventy-One: Are You?
One autumn afternoon, with a warm breeze blowing on his face, Li Qing walked to work, flicking his arms on the sidewalk, taking broken steps, and moving forward briskly.
"Li Qing"
There was the sudden sound of a motorcycle and the magnetic voice of a man
''Li Qing, Li Qing, get in the car, I'll take you.'' ‘’
Li Qing stopped his steps and turned his head to see that he was nearly thirty years old and tall
A big man, a man with a head thief straddles a motorcycle, his arms stretched straight, and his hands grip the handlebars, which is very handsome.
Li Qing glanced back and stopped! Zhang Long?! Li Qing almost screamed! Didn't Zhang Long graduate from college and become a teacher?
Take a closer look, this person has no dimples, Ding Qing looked at it, it turned out to be a new colleague, Li Qing was not familiar with it, and he couldn't name it.
''Oh, thanks, I don't ride in the car, I walk and exercise to get fit"
''Really don't sit?'' Then I'll go first! “
Woo! With a bang, the motorcycle flew forward.
The next day, Friday, Meng Meng said that she would not go home this weekend.
On weekends, business in the store was booming, and Li Qing helped his colleagues work until half past nine in the evening, when the sky suddenly changed his face and it began to rain, and it became heavier and heavier.
Li Qing didn't bring rain gear, stood at the door and looked at the sky, ten minutes passed, the rain did not stop, and the heavy raindrops turned into a dense drizzle.
''Li Qing, haven't gone home yet?'' ‘’
A warmth came from behind him, Li Qing turned his face, it was this male colleague again, he was one meter eight five tall! Taller than Zhang Long, with a long and stubble face, sharp and angular.
He has dark and thick hair, erect roots, thick eyebrows and double eyelids, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, red lips, and neat white teeth when he opens his mouth.
Wearing a plaid shirt, broad shoulders, thin waist, more muscular than Zhang Long, and a black belt around his waist,
The pants are black, and the feet wear a pair of black leather shoes, and the leather shoes are polished.
He holds a raincoat in his left hand and a key in his right hand.
Li Qing said
''Oh, I'll wait a little longer, and I'll leave when the rain is lighter.'' ‘’
After speaking, he turned his face to look at the rain outside.
The man approached Li Qing, his sharp eyes staring at Li Qing, his red lips slightly opened, and he made a cold commanding voice.
''I'll stop by and take you, I'll get home in ten minutes, I don't know when the rain will stop, when will you wait?' The shop is about to close, put on your raincoat and go! ‘’
The man stuffed the raincoat into Li Qing's hand, walked straight to the motorcycle, and stepped onto the motorcycle.
Put on a helmet, start the car, and stare at Li Qing with a side face,
''Li Qing, come up!'' ‘’
Li Qing slowly moved his feet, approached the motorcycle, grabbed the frame behind the motorcycle with both hands, and climbed into the car.
''Hold on to my clothes!'' ‘’
The man snapped.
Li Qing stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the clothes around the man's waist,
"Suddenly~suddenly~woo!" car start,
Li Qing leaned back, sweating in fright, and grabbed the clothes around the man's waist with both hands.
The motorcycle shuttled quickly in the rain, and Li Qing only felt the wind whirring in his ears...
The man was like a wall, blocking the wind and rain in front of her, and about ten minutes later, the motorcycle stopped at the gate of Li Qing's community.
"Arrived"
The man threw out two cold words,
Li Qing shuddered.
Li Qing climbed off the motorcycle, the rain was still falling, Li Qing stood next to the motorcycle, and saw the man's clothes drenched in the drizzle
Wet, the shirt tightly wrapped around the sturdy body.
At this time, the man raised his hand and pushed up the transparent mask in front of the helmet, revealing his handsome face, hooking his lips and smiling at Li Qing, but it was seductive.
Li Qing was going to take off his raincoat to the man, but when he saw this charming smile, he forgot to take off his raincoat.
''You haven't arrived home yet, you're wearing a raincoat, Li Qing, you really don't remember who I am, I'm Zhao Long, Zhao Long of G Town Tool Factory. ‘’
didn't wait for Li Qing to answer,
"Woo~"
Zhao Long kicked hard, his hand twisted slightly, and the motorcycle drove into the drizzly night like lightning.
Li Qing was stunned, Zhao Long of the tool factory?
That thirteen-year-old little kid, who hasn't seen him for many years, has gone from 1.53 meters tall to 1.85 meters, and he is still handsome.
Li Qing was cranky and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
At work the next day, Li Qing asked Zhang Jie,
"Which department is Zhao Long in?"
"Zhao Long works in the upstairs office, and I heard that he is a relative of the supermarket owner, and he is in charge of outreach."
Zhang Jie asked
"Li Qing, how did you hook up with the handsome guy Zhao? Hehehe"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"And you suddenly asked about him?"
"Didn't it rain all the time last night? I didn't borrow a raincoat, I wanted to wait at the door for the rain to go home, Zhao Long just went downstairs to see it, and took me on a bicycle for a while"
"I knew I didn't want you to substitute for the shift last night, hehehe, this beautiful encounter is for you to substitute for that colleague"
Zhang Jie gritted her teeth and said
"You know what? Is Zhao Long still single? I've never seen such a handsome man when I'm so old, more handsome than Hong Kong singer Lao Fei when he was young. ”
"Huh,"
A week later.
Li Qing got off work, it was already past three o'clock, and he went to the provincial library to go around, wanting to buy a book on cooking and reading, and use his spare time to study and study cooking.
Walking into the bookstore, the first floor is filled with bestsellers, novels, and more.
Walking up the elevator to the second floor, there are books on scientific and technological expertise.
The bookshelf is full of books, Li Qing picked up a home-cooked meal casually, picked it up and looked at it gently, and the color effect photos taken were mouth-watering.
It was as if the plate of steaming dishes was placed in front of me, the wings of the nose moved slightly, and the fragrance had wafted into the nose, throat and stomach.
Li Qing finished reading a book and put it back on the shelf.
When he looked up, he found a pair of eyes staring at him silently, and a tall man stood opposite.
Li Qing's eyes and the man's eyes met, surprise flashed on the tall man's face, the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, turned around and shook his tall body and walked over, and asked softly
''Read, Li Qing,''
The man asked in a low voice.
Li Qing responded
"Well, Zhao Long''
Zhao Long whispered again
"I'm reading too, right over there"
"Oh"
The two looked at the book for a while, and Zhao Long looked at his phone, at 5:20, and said
''Li Qing, are you hungry, go out and sit and eat,"
Li Qing said
''I'm really hungry, let's go, I should invite you,''
"You invite me? Why? ”
"It rained that day, you gave me a raincoat"
"Oh! We, colleagues, thank you for a lot."
"Zhao Long, is your home in the provincial capital?"
"My hometown is behind the tool factory in G Town, you know, my parents went to H City to do business very early,
I lived with my grandmother since I was a child, I dropped out of school naughty when I was a child, and entered the tool factory, you left the tool factory that year, and I was also taken by my parents to H City, continue to go to school, and barely graduated from college,
Once when I went back to my hometown, I heard that you were married... Later, I have been helping my parents in H City,
I've seen you twice in H City, by the canal bridge, Li Qing, have you ever been to H City? “
"Been there,"
A trace of disappointment flashed on Zhao Long's face,
"So, how old are you?" ’
"It's high school"
"What?! When you were in the tool factory, you said that you were two years older than me, and that I was a little kid, and that I was almost in my early thirties, and that I was still twenty-five or sixteen years old.
Your temperament is very much like a movie star, the actress who plays the White Snake - looking for teeth, are you frozen? ‘’
''Hehehe, how can I compare to finding teeth?'' Maybe people are stupid and look younger than their peers. ‘’
"You can't say that, you have a unique temperament, refined, natural carving, no powder and self-charming,''
''Zhao Long, do you mean yourself?'' ‘’
Li Qing said with a wicked smile
''Your facial features look just right, you surprise me, it's really a man's eighteen changes, the more you change, the better you look.''
"Li Qing, you still don't forgive, take it."
"Your one also works in the provincial capital?"
"Yes"
Zhao Long took Li Qing to a restaurant, the waiter brought the menu, and Zhao Long asked Li Qing to see it
"Li Qing, see what you like to eat?" ’
''Just eat whatever you want,''
Zhao Long ordered four dishes and one soup, asked for half a catty of liquor, brought two small wine glasses, and the two of them drank while eating, and the dishes were quickly served.
Zhao Long picked up his wine glass,
''Old colleagues and fellow countrymen meet each other, you have to have a drink, just a cup''
Li Qing took a sip of the wine glass,
"Li Qing, eat some food, hahaha, you can't just drink, drink while eating food, so that it doesn't feel so spicy"
After drinking a cup, Zhao Long said again
''Come and have a bite to eat, and have a drink with me, I'm so bored to drink alone, you know how happy I am to meet you again, I feel like I'm in a dream.'' ‘’
Li Qing unconsciously drank another glass, and when Zhao Long persuaded him again, Li Qing resolutely refused to drink it.
I hate women drinking crookedly outside, losing their armor, drinking whatever they want at home, and it doesn't hurt to drink crookedly.
Zhao Long said
"Don't drink it, okay, eat more dishes, you see, do you want to add two more dishes?" ’
Zhao Long waved his hand to greet the waiter, and Li Qing said with a tense face
''I'm full, I'm not needed''
Zhao Long gave up, Zhao Long ran to the bar to settle the bill, Li Qing said that he wanted to settle the bill, Zhao Long resolutely refused, and walked out of the restaurant, it was eight o'clock in the evening.
The breeze was blowing gently, the road was brightly lit, and the pedestrians and vehicles were flowing endlessly, Li Qing said goodbye to Zhao Long and returned home alone.
Li Qing heard Zhang Jie say that Zhao Long divorced his ex-wife and had a child living with his ex-wife.
What does all this have to do with yourself? It was all eighteen years ago, and it passed.
Another day, Li Qing got off work, received a call from Zhao Long saying that he had a big quarrel with his ex-wife, and he was so depressed that he asked Li Qing to accompany him to dinner at six o'clock and accompany him for a walk.
Li Qing said that there was no time, and Zhao Long said that if you don't come out then, he will come to your house to find you, and Li Qing had no choice but to go to the appointment.
At 5:40, Li Qing went downstairs and walked to Huanhe Road, and saw Zhao Long swinging his arms and walking over from a distance, this guy is in such a good shape,
Broad shoulders, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body, a thin waist and straight, hemp gauze gray trousers on the lower body, round and slightly upturned hips, straight and slender legs, and a pair of light-colored casual leather shoes.
Li Qing didn't hate Zhao Long, so he couldn't help but take a look.
The two had dinner in the restaurant, and Zhao Long secretly settled the account in advance.
Walking out of the restaurant, the two walked along the Huancheng River, chatting as they walked.
Zhao Long said that his ex-wife loves to dance very much, and she runs out to dance all day long, ignoring family affairs, and finally the two keep quarreling, escalating, and come to the provincial capital alone after the divorce.
Li Qing looked at the familiar and unfamiliar handsome man in front of him, and suddenly felt pity, and comforted Zhao Long,
''Zhao Long, all the unpleasantness will pass. ‘’
Zhao Long's eyelids drooped, his sharp eyes were sad, he looked at Li Qing, silent,
Zhao Long suddenly hugged Li Qing, Li Qing was startled, and pushed Zhao Long with both hands.
"Zhao Long, what are you doing, let go of me"
"I don't!"
Zhao Long said childishly and stubbornly,
Li Qing desperately broke free from Zhao Long.
When he got off work the next day, Zhao Long found Li Qing,
"Li Qing, can you lend me 300 yuan, my motorcycle is broken and needs to be repaired, and I will pay you back when I pay my salary."
"Oh, okay, give me the card number, I'll transfer it to you later."
Li Qing transferred 300 yuan to Zhao Long, and on the third day, Zhao Long did not come to work and disappeared.
