When Qiao Shen came to find Pei Yicong, he was half-lying on the sofa and smoking a cigarette leisurely. The brother next to him drank wine and punched his fist, and the sound of laughter filled the charming night.

Pei Yicong saw him from afar, handed over a flickering look, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyebrows. He squinted slightly, took the cigarette out of his mouth, and gently extinguished it, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

"Oh, what kind of guest is this?"

The angry look on his face, he could tell at a glance his intentions. This look reminded him of the day when Jiang Qi accidentally took away the tide, and there was no special emotion in his clear and cold expression, but the sting made him chill in the back.

Qiao Shen stood still in front of him, his hands in his pockets, and looked at him condescendingly.

"I'm coming. You're not looking for me? ”

Pei Yicong straightened up, his expression slightly serious.

"Qiao Shen?"

His gaze lingered on the boy's face for a long time, carefully observing every edge and corner of him. He had seen this face countless times in his sister's diary, and the description that took up most of the page and the emotions that overflowed between the lines made him jaw-dropping. Before that, he was still thinking about what kind of person would have such great charm, but today he stood in front of him dignifiedly, and only then did he understand that Pei Yao was willing to die for him, which was almost crazy, now seems to be based on reasonableness.

"Qiao Shen."

Qiao Shen nodded and spit out two words lightly.

A few followers next to him exclaimed in a low voice, and then changed to a face that was watching a good show.

Pei Yicong suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and looked directly at him.

"There is a debtor who is wronged. Did the girl tell you anyway? ”

Joe's heart sank suddenly.

"Not her. I was told by someone else. ”

Pei Yicong narrowed his eyes again. I remembered that cold and upright face in my mind. His memory goes back to the dark and bloodthirsty day, he was plotted by the opponent inside, was blocked in the alley by seven or eight people punched and kicked, when the stick in the hand of a red-haired man in front of him was waved down, he felt that his ribs had all been broken, and the seven orifices were like hot blood bubbling out, flowing to his chin, and the clothes in front of his chest were shockingly red.

That man was kicked away from behind by the guy with the baton. Seeing that the situation was not good, the others turned to the comer, and he struggled to open his eyes in the fog, and in a trance, he only heard the sound of fists and feet hitting the flesh, and the sound was very clear in his ears.

When it was clear as far as the eye could see, only the man walked up. His vision was blurred by blood, and he only felt the man leaning over and whispering a word in his ear.

"I'll take you to the hospital."

When he woke up from the white, there was no one next to him.

A little nurse walked in with a smile and changed the infusion bottle for him, relaying a message from the person who saved him.

"That handsome guy said that his name is Jiang Qi, the river of the river, and the wind of the river. If you have anything to do in the future, you can go back to him. ”

Huang Mao next to him coughed, and Pei Yicong took back the memory of the flying fly,

"So, you're ready to die?"

He teased.

In fact, he didn't think about Qiao Shen. Although he knew that it was because of his beloved sister that he was imprisoned and ruined his beautiful youth, he himself was also a sensible person after all. From beginning to end in this matter, there was nothing wrong with Qiao Shen and Tidal Tide. The fault is that my sister is too stubborn and blindly destroys herself.

He just wanted to see what this man was capable of.

Qiao Shen sneered, his face calm.

"If Jiang Qi hadn't bumped into him by chance that day, if you dared to touch a hair of the tide, I would have killed you."

His teeth were grinding loud with the hidden anger.

A group of people next to him started to laugh, spitting out inaudible swear words.

Pei Yicong laughed, not knowing whether he felt ridiculous or interested.

"I just let her drink two bottles of wine, and she hasn't finished the second bottle yet. Don't get angry and hurt your liver. ”

Qiao Shen looked at his hippie smile and almost didn't punch him in the face.

Pei Yicong retracted his smile and beckoned the person next to him to go somewhere else, he seemed to have something to say to Qiao Shen alone.

Huang Mao took the lead in understanding, whistled, and several people followed him and turned to the private room on the other side.

"You sit down, let's talk slowly."

He motioned with his eyes for Qiao Shen to sit down next to him.

Qiao Shen hesitated slightly, but his eyes caught a glimpse of Pei Yicong's serious face. He withdrew his gaze and walked straight to the empty couch left next to him and sat down.

Pei Yicong raised his lips and smiled, took a deep breath of cigarette, and exhaled a psychedelic mist in the darkness.

"Actually, I didn't want to do anything to you at all, and it's not your fault after all. There is nothing wrong with Pei Yao liking you, and there is nothing wrong with you refusing. ”

He spoke softly, his gaze falling on the streamer in the distance.

These few words are completely true. Although Pei Yicong has a violent temper, he is also a reasonable person after all, and the source of this tragedy is that Pei Yao is too stubborn, she destroys herself, and no one can help her.

Qiao Shen listened to the last sentence, and felt that something collided in his heart, and a tidal forehead suddenly appeared in front of him.

He remembered the tide that day when she stood across from him and raised her eyes. She said calmly that everyone is an adult, and some things don't mean that they know each other. He thought about the unspeakable words, probably because they would always be friends.

In Pei Yicong's words, it was not his fault that he rejected Pei Yao, and it was not her fault that the tide rejected him.

"Help me say I'm sorry to Pei Yao."

Qiao Shen spoke, thoughtful.

Pei Yicong let out a muffled snort from the depths of his throat.

"You know what? I also went to college. It's your school. ”

He pulled the cigarette out of his mouth, tucked it between his fingers and let it burn, his eyes falling on the starry fireworks above.

Joe was taken aback and turned his head to look at him.

"But I didn't finish my sophomore year and dropped out of school."

Pei Yicong looked ahead with his own thoughts, his voice was light, as if floating from afar.

Joe was silent, feeling that the other party was unusual at this time, and gently leaned back on the sofa to listen to him continue.

"When I was a sophomore in high school, I met a girl in my first year of high school, and since then I have felt that I will not marry her. But at that time, she was already on good terms with a rich second generation, and I was worse than dead during that time. ”

Pei Yicong was talking, he glanced over here with a blank expression, and saw Qiao Shen listening to him quietly, and turned his head back.

"When I was in my junior year of high school, I heard that she was pregnant, and that scum dumped her, and her story spread throughout the school, and she lived a very hard life."

Qiao Shen's heart twitched slightly.

"And do you still like her?"

He asked.

Pei Yicong laughed, "I like her no matter what, ah no, I love her." I love her so much, she is my life. After the college entrance examination, I went to her and told her that I was willing to take care of her, and I still remember that day she smiled brightly, and she said that if she could be admitted to the same school as me, she would consider it. ”

When Qiao Shen saw him say this, his eyebrows and eyes overflowed with deep tenderness.

"Maybe she's interested in me."

Pei Yicong put the cigarette to his mouth and took a puff, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"She passed the exam in my sophomore year. And I promised, and then I felt that I was the happiest person in the world. ”

Qiao Shen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was in his happiness and felt empathy.

Pei Yicong took another puff of cigarette, suddenly lowered his eyes, and his expression became solemn.

"Not long after the start of school that year, her body was recovered from the lake on the other side of the Peixiu Bridge in the early morning."

His voice was hoarse for a moment. Qiao Shen heard the unbearable sadness in his words.

He suddenly recalled that when he first entered the school in his freshman year, there was an accident in the school that fell into the lake, it was a freshman girl, and when she was salvaged out, she had swollen into a giant. During that time, there was a lot of uproar in the school, and the parents of the girls even came to the school because of this.

"When I was a freshman, there was a girl at school who drowned......"

Qiao Shen spoke slowly, carefully observing Pei Yicong's expression.

Pei Yicong straightened up, and he saw that his face seemed to be distorted with sadness.

"That's her."

Qiao groaned, and his heart was a little bitter.

“...... Then why did you drop out of school? ”

He asked him cautiously.

Pei Yicong sighed, took the little remaining cigarette butt out of his mouth, and gently blew a breath on the cigarette butt. The light of the small stars spread out in the streamer, faintly but brightly illuminated his face.

"The fucking school, in order not to arouse public opinion, has to say that she lost her footing and drowned. I can't stand this place, utilitarian and false is disgusting. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced deeply at Qiao Shen, who pursed his lips, with a hollow look in his eyes.

"You know what? It was the scumbag who pushed her down at night. She's still pregnant with a child, and she clearly said that she would raise him by herself and not pester him, but that fucking scum still won't let her go! ”

Pei Yicong's voice trembled violently, and Qiao Shen saw his fingers holding the cigarette trembling like a sieve in the dimness.

"What did she do wrong? What did she do wrong as a girl? Is it wrong to love someone? I dropped out of school after that day, and I didn't know what it meant to be alive without her. I went and stabbed that brute a few times, and I didn't fucking hack him to death yet. ”

Qiao Shen listened to his angry words, and suddenly sympathized with his fierce appearance. He looked at the light that flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was the tiny streamer of light in the night or the broken tears in his eyes.

“...... Why do you ...... Want to tell me about your past? ......”

Pei Yicong laughed. He threw the rest of the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it, and the unburned fire was finally completely extinguished in the night.

"I just want to tell you to cherish what you love. Not all stories will have a happy ending. ”
