It was as if the pause button had been pressed. Listening to the noise coming from the other side of the door, Zhang Xiao's mind went blank for a moment.
He didn't turn his head, his eyes were still staring blankly at the ceiling.
Not long after the door was opened, footsteps were heard.
The bed sank
Zhang Xiao's eyes turned in a conscious direction and glanced at the person sitting on the bed.
"Xiaoxiao...even though I know it's useless to say this now, I still want to say I'm sorry."
Qin Zifeng didn't expect Zhang Xiao to wake up so quickly. He wanted to stay here for a while before the other party woke up, and take a look at the person on the bed.
Although he did not agree to Cui Hao's request, he knew better than anyone else that with Zhang Xiao's temper, he would definitely hate the first person he saw after waking up.
Lan Chen's report on Zhang Xiao's injury also made him know for the first time what it meant to be ashamed.
He even felt a little scared about the look in Zhang Xiao's eyes after he woke up.
Therefore, when he saw the man looking at the ceiling when he opened the door, he was really stunned for a moment, and even hesitated as to whether he should go in or not.
He didn't want the other person to see his face as soon as he woke up.
But in the end, worry prevailed
He has to see the other person's condition with his own eyes before he can feel at ease
Thinking of what he saw when he got up this morning, Qin Zifeng smiled bitterly and looked at Zhang Xiao with a hint of panic for the first time.
As for Zhang Xiao, he withdrew his gaze as early as the other party spoke.
Looking at the clean and shapeless ceiling again, he murmured: "Qin Zifeng, let's forget it." His voice was hoarse and broken, full of exhaustion and invisible confusion.
"Look at my memory, I don't even know how to give Xiaoxiao a glass of water." Qin Zifeng spoke quickly and moved even faster. He stood up almost as soon as he spoke.
"Let's forget it," Zhang Xiao repeated lightly.
Qin Zifeng made a movement, and the water in the cup suddenly overflowed and fell to the ground along the table, making a regular "ticking" sound. However, he seemed not to notice it, and the pot in his hand still maintained its tilted arc.
"The water has been poured out," Zhang Xiao warned, turning his eyes to the cup that kept overflowing with water, and his voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard.
"Oh, I'll clean it up right away!" Qin Zifeng seemed to suddenly come back to his senses. He put the pot down and turned around to find something that could absorb water.
Zhang Xiao stopped him, "Qin Zifeng, you don't need to be busy. Some things that have already happened can't be ignored by making up for it afterwards."
"Don't call me Qin Zifeng!" Qin Zifeng suddenly raised his voice and interrupted the other party. He would rather Zhang Xiao still call him Qin all day long as before, rather than use the polite but distant way of calling a stranger like he does now.
Tone called his name
Zhang Xiao moved his eyes to the other party, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Qin Zifeng only felt that somewhere in his heart was hit hard, sore and painful.
That kind of indifferent look, as if seeing a dead thing...
He tugged at the corners of his lips angrily, using the dull pain caused by the scratch caused by Cui Hao to remind himself not to lose his composure.
He spoke as matter-of-factly as possible
"I mean, didn't Xiaoxiao call me Qin all the time before? Suddenly calling me by my first name and surname like this is a bit uncomfortable."
He was wrong, he really knew he was wrong...
I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, the smile on my face had become much more natural.
"Xiaoxiao, let me get you another glass of water."
Zhang Xiao shook his head
"Don't bother Mr. Qin. I was ignorant in the past and caused you a lot of trouble. Here, Zhang Xiao apologizes to you. Wait a while, I will call my friend and ask him to come and take care of me. I won't bother Qin anymore.
Not much time left”
It's not that he didn't see the injury on Qin Zifeng's face, but the relationship was about to be severed. If he still cares about it now, Zhang Xiao thinks that he can't handle the saying that "they can't be lovers or friends"
Moreover, if he guessed correctly, this injury should have something to do with him.
Should he blame his friend for the man who fucked him to death last night?
He is not that generous yet
Although he was thinking this in his heart, there was no trace of resentment in Zhang Xiao's tone, and even the hint of sincerity hidden in his words could be heard.
It was also at this time that Qin Zifeng realized that after three years of separation, the person in front of him was no longer the moody, rude and informal person.
Zhang Xiao, now the head of the Zhang family
"There's no point in being so open-minded." Qin Zifeng pursed his lips and glanced at Zhang Xiao with a complex expression, then lowered his eyelids slightly and continued, "This is what I should do."
Zhang Xiao grinned, but there was no smile in his words, "You have nothing to do for me last night." After a pause, he frowned slightly before continuing, "After what happened last night, we
Before everything was evened out, I owed you." I owed you more than one life.
Zhang Xiao sighed invisibly, and felt that Naoren was beginning to feel uncomfortable.
The only thing he is lucky about now is that before Qin Zifeng walked in, he thought about something clearly.
Deliberately ignoring the inexplicable sourness welling up in his heart, he continued: "Young Master Qin, we are clear."
Qin Zifeng's expression changed immediately. It took him a while to stabilize his mood, and he said with some difficulty: "Xiaoxiao, you...?"
He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to ask.
This made his words suddenly stuck in his throat.
He could only look at Zhang Xiao steadily, his eyes unblinking.
Zhang Xiao sighed and pulled his hair back.
He wondered if he was older now. With his previous temper, he would have yelled, "What I hate the most is that I'm sorry. Anyone can put his m's hindsight in the past. It's no use!", but don't say it now.
Huh, he's too lazy to even talk.
In fact, what he hopes to do most now is to return to Jiacheng, even if there is chaos there now
After all, his home is there
"Is Cui Hao here?" Zhang Xiao changed the topic a little stiffly, without looking back at the other party. He lowered his head slightly.
"Yeah," Qin Zifeng responded in an unclear voice, "Do you want me to ask him to come in?"
"Sorry to trouble you," Zhang Xiao said calmly without refusing.
He would rather face Cui Hao's scolding than talk to Qin Zifeng like this.
Tired, more uncomfortable
"Okay." Qin Zifeng's voice was tight. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't say anything.
What he didn't know was that the moment he turned around, Zhang Xiao's face suddenly sank.
The other party twitched the corners of his mouth loudly, but his smile was uglier than his cry.
…
One week later, Narita Airport
"looking at what?"
As Cui Hao spoke, he straightened Zhang Xiao's collar.
"It's nothing." Zhang Xiao looked away from the exit and smiled at Cui Hao, "Cui Hao is becoming more and more virtuous. He really takes advantage of the guy named Lan!"
"Fuck you kid, it's time to leave and you haven't even started yet!" Cui Hao pretended to punch the opponent, but of course he didn't use much strength and paused. He then added with some worry, "I'm back."
Jiacheng, take good care of yourself, I have some idea about the Zhang family's affairs now, and I will notify you immediately when there are results!"
"Well", Zhang Xiao pursed her lips and whispered in a complicated tone: "Cui Hao, please!"
"Damn! Zhang Xiao, please don't say this. Doesn't it make me misunderstand that the person in front of me is someone else?"
Cui Hao pretended to have a toothache, looked at Zhang Xiao with an obviously suspicious look, then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "The person in front of me is the man I know who has been in love with Fang since he was a child.
Jiewa, are you not afraid of heaven and earth, but are you just afraid of the brat who comes to find him when nothing happens?"
Zhang Xiao's face suddenly darkened. He twitched the corner of his mouth. When the other party wanted to retreat a little guilty because of his reaction, he bent down and punched him.
Then he blew the fist that he had just used, raised his eyebrows and said to the person holding his belly, "I didn't hear what you just said, can you say it again?"
The attitude is sincere and friendly!
Cui Hao, however, seemed to have seen some savage beast. He moved back unconsciously and said with a dry smile: "What, did I just say something? Zhang Xiao, you must have heard wrong!"
Zhang Xiao grinned when he heard this, "Then even if I heard wrong!"
When Cui Hao saw the other party's magnanimous manner and didn't care about him, he felt his stomach hurt even more after being beaten.
Before he could think of anything to say, he heard the other party continue, "Now that I have been sent to the airport by you, don't wait for me to board the plane. I will go in as soon as I get back, and you can
Come back quickly”
"Who the hell insists on waiting for you to board the plane before leaving?! Zhang Xiao, stop being so narcissistic, brother, leave now!"
"You're the one who wants to return the favor? Hurry up and leave!" Zhang Xiao waved his hand impatiently, turned around and walked towards the security checkpoint.
Cui Hao looked at Zhang Xiao's back, and the relaxation on his face disappeared little by little.
He frowned tightly and stretched his hand halfway toward his pocket before he remembered that he had quit smoking long ago.
At this time, Zhang Xiao was about to pass the security checkpoint.
Cui Hao gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, shouted "Wait a minute, Zhang Xiao", and strode after him.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiao looked at the pursuer with some confusion.
"This is for you." Cui Hao took out a crumpled envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhang Xiao's hand.
"Hey, Cui Hao, since when did you have the leisure to write to me?"
"Hurry up and leave, I have a crush on you!"
Cui Hao moved the person forward somewhat roughly, but for the first time he had doubts about whether his decision was good or bad.
"Sure, you are so considerate, I will definitely read this love letter carefully on the plane!"
Zhang Xiao waved the envelope without a word on it and turned around and went in.
Cui Hao's eyebrows gradually wrinkled, and finally he kicked the ground hard, turned around and walked away in the direction he came from.
After a while, a man wearing sunglasses and black clothes came out from behind the pillar. He looked in the direction Zhang Xiao left for a long time before turning around and leaving.
