Chapter 46: Bastard
Qiu Zhe walked into the store, and the waiter was already familiar with him, and came up with a smile and asked what to eat. He took the menu www.biquge.info and was flipping through it when a familiar voice came:
"Qiu Zhe, why are you here, what a coincidence!"
Qiu Zhe turned his head and saw Gao Yongxia and Lin Meiqi standing behind him, smiling. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and said in a muffled voice, "Hello." "Something was wrong in my heart.
"You also come here for dinner?" Gao Yongxia and him are already old friends, because of Cui Peng's relationship, it is common for the two to eat and meet together, so they talk very casually: "This shop tastes good." ”
"Yes," Qiu Zhe said, "I often come to eat, but I don't seem to have seen you." ”
"Oh, we live far away, so we've only been here a few times," Gao Yongxia said naturally: "It's better to meet by chance, I heard Cui Peng say that you just made a lot of money now, how can you express this meal." ”
"Oh, okay. ”
Hearing his promise, Gao Yongxia smiled proudly and beckoned to the shopkeeper: "Boss, we want a private room." He turned his head to Qiu Zhe and said, "The lobby is a little hot, and it's too noisy when it comes to the meal later, it's not too much to ask for a private room, right?"
Qiu Zhe shrugged his shoulders indifferently and entered the box next to him under the guidance of the waiter. Gao Yongxia took the menu, ordered the specialties unceremoniously, and said while ordering: "Don't be polite to him, this kid is now a rich man." ”
Lin Meiqi is still very shy and speaks softly. Waiting for Gao Yongxia to order the dish, Qiu Zhe took it and took a look, added a few more, and then handed it to the waiter.
After a while, the dishes began to be delivered to the table one after another. Xu Ji is known for his high efficiency, which is one of the reasons why Qiu Zhe likes to come to this restaurant for dinner. I don't know why Gao Yongxia said a bit too much today, it seems that he deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, which made Qiu Zhe, who was used to not talking during meals and eating and drinking nonsense, very unaccustomed. Whenever he was forced to put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand to answer Gao Yongxia's boring topics, he felt a little depressed.
Finally waited for Gao Yongxia to go out to the bathroom, and he Qiu Zhe's heart was relieved, and he felt that he could finally eat well.
"Qiu Zhe," Lin Meiqi called out to him.
"Huh?"
"I have something to tell you. ”
"Well, you say. ”
"I, I," Lin Meiqi hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage: "I like you." ”
"Oh-" Qiu Zhe was gobbling up, unable to reply for a while.
"The first time I saw you, you were lying in a hospital bed. I'd love to say thank you, but you can't hear me. No matter what I say, you can't hear me. I know that you were so badly injured to save me, and I always felt guilty when I heard the nurse at the hospital say that you were bleeding so much that you almost died. ”
"Later, when you were well, I went to the library to look for you, and I found out that you had resigned from there. I don't know where you live, Cui Peng refused to say. ”
"We never saw each other again, and I thought we would never see each other again. Until that time my cousin had her birthday, you saved us again. Originally, I was almost desperate at that time, but when I saw you appear, I suddenly felt so relieved, and only by your side can I have this sense of security. ”
Probably suppressed it for too long, and suddenly pierced the window paper, Lin Meiqi's words were the same as her feelings, like a river bursting its embankment, out of control.
Some people are like this, they are usually very introverted and suppress themselves, but once they open their mouths, they can let go more than anyone else.
Lin Meiqi recalled the experience of knowing each other, and met several times, each time she missed in a hurry, but she kept reminiscing about it in her heart. For this young man who doesn't like to talk, he gradually developed an indescribable feeling.
At first it was just gratitude, then guilt, human feelings are the most wonderful things, and when the subjective consciousness is not yet awakened, the other party has quietly taken root in her heart. The feelings are getting stronger and stronger, and there is no catharsis. When I miss someone, every day is sweet and sad.
Lin Meiqi looked at Qiu Zhe while talking, but saw that the other party had been eating with her head bored, she was both expectant and nervous, all her emotions were shown on her face, and she mustered up the last courage to ask, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Gao Yongxia deliberately left early in order to create space for his good friends. After dangling outside for a long time, she felt that the heat should be almost over, and cautiously returned to the door of the box, not in a hurry to open the door, but first put her ear to the door and listened to the movement inside.
She thought that everything would be in order, but there was no sound in it, and she felt bad in her heart, so she pushed the door open, only to see Lin Meiqi sitting there alone, her eyes were blank and her expression was dull, and she hurriedly stepped forward: "Why are you here alone?"
"He's gone. Lin Meiqi said quietly.
"Gone?"
"Well, let's go. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"I told him everything, he just ate to eat, and finally I asked him if he had anything to say, and he said no, and then he went out. Lin Meiqi seemed to be recalling a dream: "After a while, he turned back again, I thought he was coming to me, but I didn't expect him to say to me-"
"I've settled the bill, you eat slowly. ”
Qiu Zhe waved his hand and walked away, as if he didn't hear the faint sobbing sound coming from behind him.
Gao Yongxia hugged Lin Meiqi and gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard!"
――――――――――
Qiu Zhe returned to KFC opposite, and the mandarin duck had eaten to his heart's content, and was lying on the chair with a full burp. He frowned and glanced at Cui Peng, stepped forward and lifted the mandarin duck into his backpack, turned around and walked out.
Seeing his expression, Cui Peng knew that it was not good, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Zhe looked at him deeply: "You colluded with them?"
Cui Peng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said calmly: "Yes." ”
"Interesting?"
"Xiaoqiu," Cui Peng looked into Qiu Zhe's eyes and said sincerely, "There are some things, if you don't try them, you will never know what the result will be." You don't plan to live alone for the rest of your life, Lin Meiqi is a good girl, and I also think she is very suitable for you, so I will do this. You can't run away from it all the time, you have to face it. ”
"I didn't run away," Qiu Zhe said in a deep voice, "I don't think there is any standard answer to life. What everyone thinks is good, there will be people who feel bad. Feelings are better than less, and less is better than nothing. In my heart, there is only the road of eternal life. There is nothing else to ask for. ”
He picked up his backpack and turned around to go out, Cui Peng reluctantly followed, but saw Qiu Zhe stop at the threshold, turned around, and said to him word by word:
"You know I've always hated people liaring to me, this is your first time, and I hope it's the last time. ”
――――――――――
Gao Yongxia walked into KFC angrily and saw Cui Peng sitting there drinking water alone. She suppressed the anger in her heart, sat down opposite Cui Peng, and said coldly:
"Where's Qiu Zhe?"
"Gone. ”
"Just left?" Gao Yongxia said, "Didn't he explain anything to you?"
"What do you want to explain?" Cui Peng asked rhetorically.
"Do you know how much courage it takes for a girl to take the initiative to confess, especially with a shy character like Qiqi," Gao Yongxia felt that his anger was full all of a sudden: "Qiu Zhe is good, he has been like no one else from beginning to end, others are saying that he likes him, but he has been eating! Is this man made of wood? I want to kick him to death. ”
"Don't be angry, the fact that it has happened and exists, it is useless to be angry. Cui Peng said: "Actually, it's not right for me." I thought it would be a good thing to find someone of the opposite sex who cared for him gently, but I didn't expect it to be the opposite. ”
"Is he sick?" Gao Yongxia was stunned.
"Xiaoqiu has autism," Cui Peng sighed, "When he was five years old, he witnessed the death of his parents, and from then until he met his master, he didn't talk to anyone, and he was completely closed off in his own world. ”
"Although he has since improved and now looks like a normal person, I actually know that his heart knot has not been untied. I don't know what happened to him after his parents died, but I don't think it was a good thing. He is very insecure now, and especially hates the deception of the people around him. I lied to him this time, and he probably won't talk to me for a while. ”
Gao Yongxia opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything. After a while, she suddenly turned around and said to Cui Peng viciously: "You know that he is sick, why didn't you say it earlier, what do you think of Qiqi?" Qiu Zhe I can forgive, but you are very excessive this time. ”
Cui Peng raised his hand helplessly: "Okay, it's all my fault, I shouldn't do it." ”
Gao Yongxia glanced at him, her anger suddenly disappeared, she stood up from her seat, and said without a trace of emotion: "You don't have to admit your mistake, I was wrong." Our positions are fundamentally different, you only care about your brother, and I care more about my friend. ”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to go out, when she suddenly turned around and glanced at Cui Peng meaningfully:
"I've known for a long time that the smarter a man is, the more he thinks and the less reliable he is. I thought you would be a special case, but I didn't expect that I was overthinking. ”
Looking at the back of Gao Yongxia leaving, Cui Peng wanted to call her, but found that he couldn't open his mouth, and he was depressed for a while. All along, he was always full of confidence and thought that everything was under control, but at this moment, for the first time, he felt that things were out of his control, and for the first time, he also experienced regret and melancholy.
