Chapter 51: How Can It Be Better?
Gu Qingfang didn't say any more, but changed the topic and said, "Since you know the ins and outs of the matter, what else is going on?" It's okay, let's go first. ”
Tao Xiu looked at Ye Chenming, who was full of tiredness, he remembered that Ding Le said that Ye Chenming rarely smoked, was it because he was so unrestrained today......
"Is something happening to Ding Le?" Tao Xiu asked suddenly.
Because Ye Chenming's brows were furrowed deeply, Tao Xiu suddenly felt that Ye Chenming had called them over not because of what happened last time, nor because he wanted to embarrass them, but because of Ding Le.
Ye Chenming was stunned for a long time before nodding.
"Don't leave yet, it's rare to come here, just give Ding Le a face, and accompany me to drink and talk." Ye Chenming sat on the sofa opposite them, and without their consent, he called the owner of the food stall very close to the public security bureau and asked the boss to send a case of beer to the deputy director's office on the fifth floor.
Tao Xiu glanced at Gu Qingma, and Gu Qingmaan said coldly: "He is not very good at drinking, I will accompany you to drink, but are you sure you want to drink in your office?" ”
Ye Chen told Tao Xiu to stay, Gu Qingyan naturally couldn't let Tao Xiu stay alone, even if he didn't want to, he had to accompany Tao Xiu to stay.
Ye Chenming skillfully lit another cigarette, sandwiched between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and the thick smell of smoke drifted into their noses along the cool breeze outside the window, and was diluted again in the blink of an eye.
"It's okay, I've turned off the surveillance." Ye Chenming's face didn't have the slightest expression, all he thought about was Ding Le.
He loved the office.
The biggest reason why he has been refusing to move to another more spacious office is that his Ding Le has become accustomed to being here, where Ding Le drinks water, watches TV, sleeps on the sofa, sits on his lap and plays with his mobile phone, and secretly kisses him when he is not paying attention......
Bit by bit, incomparably vivid scene after scene continued to spin in Ye Chenming's mind.
When he had a good relationship with Ding Le, sitting in this office, Ye Chenming's work efficiency was extremely high and his mood was excellent; But now that Ding Le is gone, only the melancholy of the room is left, piercing his heart like a sharp needle.
So he was even more afraid to go home, which was already the case in the office, and it was even harder to fall asleep when he got home.
Because he knew that Ding Le was not at home, Ding Le was still by his parents' side.
Ye Chenming saw Tao Xiu frowning slightly, and quickly extinguished the cigarette that he hadn't finished smoking in the ashtray, "You don't like the smell of smoke as much as he does." ”
Tao Xiu nodded gently, this was a rare commonality between him and Ding Le.
A case of beer was quickly sent into Ye Chenming's office, and Gu Qingfang accompanied Ye Chenming to drink it one by one, neither of them spoke, but they both tacitly agreed to raise their glasses and drink it all.
Tao Xiu's impression of Ye Chenming is a mature man with a great sense of dedication and responsibility, listening to Ding Le, whether he drinks or smokes, he is very restrained, today should be considered abnormal, right?
More than half an hour later, the glass table top was already crowded with empty beer cans, some of them fell to the ground, and there was a crisp sound of "clang", a box of 24 cans of beer was quickly eliminated by the two, Ye Chenming stared at Gu Qingfang with appreciative eyes, "Another box?" ”
"Come on!" Compared with drinking, Gu Qingyan has never recognized cowardice.
So, the owner of the food stall brought another case of beer, less than an hour apart.
Tao Xiu secretly pulled Gu Qingmad's clothes, but Gu Qingmad ignored him, and carefully leaned into Gu Qingmad's ear to speak, telling him to stop drinking, Gu Qingmad chuckled at him, "Old man, why don't you go back first." ”
Get back? How could he go back with confidence?
Ye Chenming drank so much wine, obviously because Ding Le was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to persuade Ye Chenming, so he had to persuade Gu Qingfang, but he didn't expect Gu Qingfang to ask him to go back first.
Could it be that Gu Qingyan has forgotten all about the fact that he once drank alcohol and was hospitalized?!
Tao Xiu sighed, thought about it, and decided to call Ding Le over first, the two of them would definitely have an accident if they drank like this.
When he received a call from Tao Xiu, Ding Le had just hurriedly picked up a few bites of the boxed lunch he bought at the entrance of the hospital, and said while throwing the rest of the meal into the trash: "Tao Xiu, what's the matter?" ”
Tao Xiu told Ding Le that Gu Qingyan was drinking with Ye Chenming, and Ding Le stomped his feet angrily, "What the hell?!" I see, I'll go right away. ”
After hanging up the phone, Ding Le looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the ward with an ugly face, it's noon, if you want to drink, at least wait until the evening, right? Is that guy going to stop working in the afternoon?
Since Ding Le's mother was hospitalized, Ding Le took the annual leave he had saved before, so he didn't go to work in the company for the past few days, and stayed in the hospital every day to take care of his mother, wanting to make her feel at ease, although he missed Ye Chenming, he gradually tried to ignore Ye Chenming's existence, because he knew that as long as he left his mother's sight, even if he just went out to buy a boxed lunch, his mother would not be at ease.
was always worried about him, and ran to find Ye Chenming again.
So he had to dangle in his mother's sight every day, accompany her to take injections, accompany her to take medicine, accompany her to do unbearable chemotherapy, help her comb less and less dead hair, and accompany her to talk about her childhood, both to divert her mother's attention and desperately divert his own attention.
But he didn't expect Ye Chenming to find him through Tao Xiu, this trip was inevitable, if he didn't go to take a look, the ghost knew what kind of ghost Ye Chenming would toss his body into.
Ding Le returned to his mother's bedside, held her hand and whispered, "Mom, are you full?" ”
Zhang Peiyao leaned weakly on the snow-white pillow in the hospital, an hour ago, she had only gone through the painful chemotherapy and barely ate a little, she nodded lightly with a pale face, and asked with concern: "What about you?" Have you eaten? ”
Ding Le nodded vaguely.
Zhang Peiyao knew at a glance that her son was fooling herself, and sighed: "You have been a picky eater since you were a child, and I don't think you can eat a few bites of those boxed lunches, cough cough...... Go home and cook and eat by yourself. ”
Ding Le lowered his head, "Okay, from tomorrow, I'll go home and cook, and then pack it and we'll eat it together." ”
"Good, good." Zhang Peiyao raised her thin hand and gently stroked Ding Le's hair, "Son, you have lost weight, don't worry, Mom is fine, don't ask for leave to take care of me, go back to work." ”
Ding Le shook his head violently, "No, I have to accompany you to rest assured...... But Mom, the company is in a bit of a hurry now, I want to go back, don't wait for me to eat in the afternoon, I'll call my dad to go out and buy you something delicious, maybe I'll be back late, call me if there's something, don't worry. ”
"Okay." Zhang Peiyao patted Ding Le's hand, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Ding Le's hand wearing a ring.
In the past, when Ding Le went home for dinner, he would always remember to take the ring down and hide it for the time being, but recently he forgot about it.
With his mother's consent, Ding Le withdrew his hand and left the hospital anxiously.
Zhang Peiyao looked at Ding Le's emaciated figure, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, she still remembered the last time she saw Ding Le, his spirit was so good, Ye Chenming should be good to him, but unfortunately, why is it a man?
"Ding Le, Mom is not against you, Mom doesn't want to see you go further and further on the wrong path, I can't stay with you for too long, you are with him, how can I rest assured that I can ......"
In the empty ward, only Zhang Peiyao's soft sigh and the rhythmic "tick" sound of the cold instrument remained.
After Ding Le left the hospital, he wanted to go to Ye Chenming immediately, but his stomach screamed uncomfortably.
He is a picky eater, he only likes to eat the things he and Ye Chenming make, even when he eats outside, there are only a few places where the food suits his taste, and the boxed lunches near the hospital are expensive and not delicious, just for convenience, he is afraid that he will go out to buy food and leave for too long His mother is worried, so he will eat for a few days, but the meals eaten in a few days are not as much as the meals in the previous day.
If he saw Ye Chenming in the past now, in case of a stomach attack, it would definitely make him worry again, and after thinking about it, Ding Le had to solve the problem of eating by himself first.
I drove along the road looking for restaurants, and finally remembered a dish I wanted to eat - eggplant rice with meat sauce, so I went straight to my destination.
After the fragrant meal was served, Ding Le immediately feasted on it, thinking that he would be able to see Ye Chenming in a while, his mood was much better, and his appetite was naturally a lot better.
After eating and drinking, Ding Le finally felt comfortable in his stomach, and then drove to the public security bureau.
After parking the car and going up to the fifth floor, Ding Le saw a familiar figure at the door of Ye Chenming's office, "Tao Xiu? ”
"Hmmm! What the hell is going on? Ye Chenming looked in a bad mood. Tao Xiu asked with concern.
Ding Le lowered his head, "Do you remember my mother's illness?" ”
"The previous surgery was successful, so I should be recovering well now, right?"
Ding Le shook his head, "No, the cancer cells have metastasized and I am now hospitalized, and besides, my parents know about me being with him, so they ......"
Tao Xiu covered his mouth and took a step back, "Do they want you to leave Ye Chenming?" ”
Ding Le didn't speak, but Tao Xiu had already guessed everything, these were exactly what he had experienced, although he had forgotten what he had experienced, but the words that his mother and brother had said, the eyes of the neighbors who despised him, he had not forgotten.
He has not forgotten how the scar on his wrist came about.
If that car accident can really rob him of all his memories, I'm afraid it will be a really good start for Tao Xiu, but it's a pity that he only lost part of his memories.
Tao Xiu opened his mouth and said dryly: "It's not easy to find such a person who is sincere to you, don't give up easily, maybe your parents will understand one day." ”
Such a weak comfort, even Tao Xiu himself didn't believe it, his family had already drawn a line with him because he was a homosexual, even if Ding Le's parents loved Ding Le no matter how much they loved Ding Le, but as long as they wanted Ding Le to leave Ye Chenming, how could Ding Le be better?
