72, Ye Tong
Tang Yiyi rushed all the way back to the hospital, only to feel panicked in her heart, the legendary Ye Tong suddenly fell from the sky like this, and sure enough, she was so beautiful.
In the noodle restaurant, the second tube asked Ye Tong: "Why did you come back suddenly?" Don't say a word. ”
Ye Tong smiled at him, but said to Qin Baike, "Surprised, right?" ”
Qin Baike nodded: "Hmm." ”
"Surprise? Or is it a fright? ”
"Heh, let's go upstairs." He pointed upstairs.
The blade tube tilted its head towards the second cylinder and tilted its head out of the door, "Bring me the luggage in." ”
She followed Qin Baike upstairs and looked all the way, "The kitchen has been newly renovated." ”
"Well, the city uniformly requires that it must be like this, otherwise it will not be allowed to open."
"It's good, it's clean."
I went upstairs into the living room and slowly looked around, "I laid out the wooden floor, put up wallpaper, changed the TV, and changed the sofa." ”
"It's been ten years, and you've changed a lot."
Ye Tong looked at him and asked with a little coquettishness: "Where has it changed?" ”
Qin Baike paused and said with a smile: "I can't say it, sit down, I'll pour you tea." ”
Ye Guan went straight to Xiao Xie's room, "Why two single beds?" ”
"I live in my grandfather's house now, and someone else lives in this house."
"Oh." Ye Guan went to Qin Baike's room again, "It's more concise than before, just like you, you don't need superfluous things." She walked to the bedside, picked up "The Spirit in Art", and looked at Qin Baike in surprise, "Are you watching?" ”
"Use it as a **."
Ye Tube nodded understandingly, put down the book and walked out of the room.
The two sat down, didn't know what to say for a while, they looked at each other carefully, and they didn't feel embarrassed by each other, although they hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years, they didn't feel alive, as if they had just waved goodbye to each other a few days ago and said: See you later. It was as if the decade that had been separated in the middle had been compressed into just a few days.
Ye Guan broke the silence: "My performance was qualified just now, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a woman who has an intimate relationship with you, and directly dispels other women's covetousness for you, I did the right thing, right?" ”
Qin Baike smiled: "Why did you suddenly run back, what about your boyfriend?" Didn't come back with you? ”
"Broke up." Ye Tong said lightly, "I want to smoke a cigarette, is it okay?" ”
“…… OK. Qin Baike concealed his surprise and went to the house to get an ashtray and put it in front of her, "Why did you break up?" It's been talking about it for so many years. He asked.
"At first he wanted to get married, I didn't want to, then I wanted to get married, and he didn't want to. It's been a long time, and I'm tired of seeing each other, so I'm separated, but now I'm happier. ”
Ye Tong took out a box of Centennial Lady's cigarettes from his shoulder bag, took out two, and handed one to Qin Baike, he shook his head, she put it back and lit one for herself, "What about you?" After so many years, I haven't had a girlfriend? ”
Qin Baike smiled faintly and lowered his head. Ye Tong saw it in his eyes and nodded, "There is someone in my heart." ”
He looked at her with some surprise, and she said calmly, "Baike, don't you know how familiar I am with you?" We used to be so close, I know your every expression. What did that girl do? Isn't she supposed to be by your side at a time like this tonight? ”
"No, no girls." He said with some confusion.
Seeing him like this, Ye Tong laughed haha, "You sullen coquette, are you still secretly in love?" ”
Qin Baike blushed a little when she laughed, but he couldn't refute her confidently.
Ye Tong said: "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, I will be relieved to see that you are doing well." ”
"I'm a man, what are you worried about."
Ye Tong looked at him and said with a smile: "When you were a firefighter a few years ago, I was worried about your safety. Now that you finally don't have to carry the weight of the people, what I'm worried about is your happiness. You're doing well now, and I'm relieved. ”
Ye Tong was very serious when he said it, and when Qin Baike heard it, his heart was filled with a long-lost emotion.
"What about you? Why did you come back suddenly? ”
"I saw you yesterday while watching a video on the Internet, and suddenly I wanted to eat the noodles you made. You haven't answered me yet, is it a surprise or a shock to see me? ”
Qin Baike asked rhetorically: "Aren't you familiar with me?" Was my expression a surprise or a startle? ”
Ye Tong pouted, "You're still like that, you don't know how to please girls at all." ”
Qin Baike got up and brewed her a cup of black tea and put it in front of her, "Don't you have a job now?" Just go. ”
"I'm on vacation during this time, I've been too tired in the past few years, and now I want to slow down."
"Hmm." Seeing a trace of tiredness in her eyes, Qin Baike couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"How's your mom's illness?" Ye Tong asked.
"Stable, found someone to take care of her."
"Uncle Xiang's body looks very good, I didn't expect you to accept him again."
"I didn't expect that either."
"The little girl who competed with us was too young, right? Do you hire child labor? ”
"The niece of her comrade-in-arms, she was temporarily allowed to settle here."
"People who don't know you think you're cold-hearted, but I know how soft your heart is." Ye Tong finished smoking a cigarette, extinguished it in the ashtray, and then took out another cigarette and lit it.
"Why do you smoke so much?" Although I knew she was smoking for a long time, she was still a little strange to her.
Ye Tong rubbed his eyes, "I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I rushed back today, and I feel a little tired." ”
"Then you rest first, since you are on vacation, stay here for a few more days."
"Hmm." She nodded.
"Where do you want to live? Hotel, home, or here? ”
"I haven't been back for many days, right? Don't know how dirty it is? I'll go back and clean it tomorrow. Do you still live here? ”
"Let the second tube come and sleep with me, and you sleep in his house."
"Heh, what is it for you two men to sleep in the same bed? Do you have a base? ”
"Then let him sleep on the couch, and you sleep in his room."
Ye Tong shook his head, "Forget it, I'll go to the hotel, there are already four people here, and it's uncomfortable to use a bathroom." ”
"Okay, I'll send you there." Qin Baike stood up and took the cigarette in her hand and snuffed it out, "Let's go." ”
He turned around and walked downstairs, Ye Tong followed him downstairs, and saw Uncle Chen looking at her in the kitchen, she smiled at Uncle Chen in a friendly manner.
Qin Baike went out to see the second cylinder and told him that Ye Tong was staying in the hotel tonight and asked him to go home early tomorrow morning to clean up. The second tube nodded, took the suitcase out of the corner and handed it to him, and Ye Tong followed him out.
In the car, Ye Tong asked him: "There is only one little girl in your store, how can there be two beds in her house?" ”
"It's an intern in Uncle Xu's medical hall." Qin Baike replied lightly.
"Oh? Can't live in a hospital so wide? ”
"For a number of reasons." For some reason, he didn't want to say a word about Tang Yiyi in front of Ye Tong.
Qin Baike took Ye Tong to the best hotel in Yicheng, opened a room for her, sent her to the door of the room, and handed her the key card, but she didn't answer, "Send me in." ”
Qin Baike looked at her, took the card and opened the door, and followed her into the room with her luggage.
She walked to the window, opened the curtains and overlooked the night view of Yicheng, and watched silently.
He put down his luggage and watched as she didn't move or speak.
After a while, she said, "Haven't I changed a lot?" ”
He looked at her thin and straight back, much thinner than before, the roundness and softness of girlhood were gone, and he pondered the words, "You have always known what you want?" No matter how you change, you're still the girl in my heart. ”
Ye Tong turned around and smiled sadly at him: "You are always so soft-hearted, I don't know what I want now, but you haven't changed at all." You're not like me, you've never pushed yourself, you've always done what you can and like. But what about me, I stretched myself so hard and forced so hard, so what? Now I have encountered a ** neck in my career, and my feelings have also been frustrated. Baike, am I a failure? Why can't I be as peaceful as you? ”
Qin Baike looked at her and tried his best to speak plainly, "You just fell out of love, it'll be fine after a while, don't deny yourself completely." ”
She walked over, reached out and hugged him, buried her head in his chest, and did so many years ago, "Baike, I'm back to heal, you help me." ”
He reached out and wrapped his hand around her thin, thin body, "Okay. The pity for her in my heart was the same as at the beginning, "You are tired, if you want to rest, take a good rest." ”
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry what?"
"Everything, past and present."
"Don't be sorry, you're fine, you're not sorry for me."
"I'm selfish."
"You're good, and you deserve the best in my eyes."
Ye Tong raised his head with a smile, "Thank you." ”
"There's nothing wrong with you trying to do what you like, your choices are not selfish, in my heart, by my side, you are the best person."
Ye Tong's eyes flashed with joy and tenderness, "Baike, thank you." ”
"We don't have to say thank you, you're tired, go take a shower first, and when you're asleep, I'll leave."
Ye Tong hugged him tightly, and his voice came out of his chest in a muffled voice, "No need, just let me hold you for a while." I've been on my own for many years, I'm not that fragile, just a little bit. "The voice wasn't clear, but it was very crisp.
It was only at this moment that Qin Baike finally saw the familiar Ye Tong, she hadn't changed, she was still the proud and strong girl, no, it was a woman, she didn't need his protection for a long time.
Qin Baike returned to the noodle shop, asked Erguan to go home from work to rest, and get up early tomorrow to clean up.
He sat in his old position by himself, Ye Tong's sudden arrival was certainly not a fright, but it was not a surprise either.
Awakening from the initial surprise, the heart is happy. Seeing her again is like seeing your own youthful years.
Those days when I was always restless and restless, and the days when I tried to break through the shackles and had to rely on my parents, were like carving knives deep through them, leaving bloody wounds.
The wound has long since scabbed, and although the scar is ugly, it does not affect life today. I haven't thought about it for a long time, but Ye Tong's arrival made him seem to revisit the taste of that time and feel a trace of restlessness.
Today, Xiang Shengli came to him and hoped that Qin Ji's signboard would open, and he said that he would think about it, but he hadn't thought about what to think about. At this point, he calmed down, and he thought, what would his mother do if she was healthy?
They will not meet, he smiled bitterly, no if, his mother has retired, and Qin Ji is now up to him, whether he should promise him or not, and it is undecided.
What made him really accept Xiang Shengli again without guilt was because of his grandfather's guilt for Xiang Shengli, and it turned out that his grandfather did not keep any secrets about Xiang Shengli.
The two men who love him the most in this life are kind and open-minded, and the love of these two men for him can completely heal the scars left by adolescence, and the restlessness brought by Ye Tong quickly disappeared.
