Because he knew that in Xiao Tong's heart, there was only An Jie besides An Jie. She and An Jie had experienced life and death, and they seemed to know how to cherish each other more.
However, all this did not stop Qin Yi from continuing to care about Xiao Tong. Over the past year, caring about her has become a required course for him every day.
If the saddest thing in the world is that two people who love each other clearly love each other but cannot be together, it would be better to say that you know that the person you love does not love you, but you still can't forget it and are still thinking about her.
Two people who love each other can at least have a heart-to-heart connection, but the person you love but doesn't love you will always mercilessly stick your hot heart to her cold back.
"Turn around, let's go back,
Turning around, we rubbed shoulders.
I spend my life chasing you but I can never keep up with you.
the pain of unrequited love,
It's because I love you, but you turn a blind eye to me."
——Qin Yi.
Writing these lines on a branch, the once unruly Qin Yi once again had the melancholy temperament of Paris at this moment.
Standing up, he threw down the branch in his hand. He wanted to take a look at Xiao Tong's old house.
Perhaps, before this place was demolished, this was the last time he set foot on the land she had loved since childhood.
"Who?" Suddenly, just as Qin Yi was dragging his heavy steps toward the door of Tongzi's old house, he heard a low shout suddenly coming from outside the gate, and then Qin Yi
As soon as he saw the boy holding a thick stick, he rushed in front of Qin Yi with a fierce look.
"Boy——"
"Qin Yi——"
Seeing each other, the two of them shouted each other's names in surprise, and then each punched the other's chest hard.
At ten o'clock in the evening, in the entire dark alley, only Tongzi's old house had a faint light. Fortunately, the lines in the alley were not damaged, and Tongzi and Qin Yi did not have to drink and punch in the candlelight.
After not seeing each other for a year, both Tongzi and Qin Yi were changing.
Now, Tongzi has married Fei'er, a shy girl with fair skin, and has successfully transformed into a married person. His cheeks are still dark, but his whole person looks bright and energetic. In his words, he and Fei'er
The children are patiently looking forward to the grand birth of their baby in six months' time.
"Boy, you are so happy, you can marry the one you love and have children." Qin Yi took the wine bottle and touched it with the bottle in the boy's hand, then raised his head and drank the whole bottle of beer in one go "Gudong, Gudong"
Dry.
"Qin Yi, I think you seem to be different from a year ago." The boy also drank the beer in the bottle and threw the empty bottle aside casually. The boy said to Qin Yi.
"What's different?" Qin Yi smiled bitterly.
"I heard from Yan Ni that you already have your own image design company in Paris. You are already on the road to success, but why don't you look happy at all?" The boy bowed his head and his face was red. It was because of alcohol.
It worked on him.
"Who says I'm not happy? I'm very happy." A dim color flashed across Qin's eyes quickly, and he felt very uncomfortable having someone peek into the secret in his heart.
The two of them continued to drink four dozen beers one by one.
Each said some of the most sincere and illogical words from their hearts.
"Qin Yi, do you know? This place is my roots, and this old house is my home. I am not willing to move away at all. I believe everyone living in this alley is unwilling to move. However,
We have no choice, we have to move. You...
Do you believe it? The night before moving out, I...I cried." After drinking some wine, the boy talked more. Although he was drunk, he spoke the truth. He said these words
At that time, he seemed to be back to the night before moving away, with red eyes.
"I believe. If it were me, I...I would definitely not be willing to move away." Qin Yi's consciousness was already a little blurry. He hadn't had such a happy drink for a long time, but even in his vague state of consciousness,
Despite the situation, he still couldn't drive Xiao Tong's figure out of his mind.
He really wanted to ask Tongzi how Xiao Tong was doing now? But he never asked because he was afraid that he would accidentally reveal his inner secret to Tongzi when he had no self-control at all.
"Xiao Tong——, you know? Xiao Tong didn't want to leave at all. That day, she...she also cried." Fortunately, the boy actually took Xiao Tong away. Hearing Xiao Tong, Qin Yi's heart suddenly
With a shudder, she actually woke up from the wine. "Xiao Tong, like you, has also changed. She is no longer the same as before. In the past, she was so desperate... regardless of everything. Later, since she met An
Jay, she changed...became quiet, and now she
She has changed and become...becoming very dignified, but she has become very mature, but she...she is no longer the lively Xiao Tong before. Qin Yi, do you know? When she was in high school, she was
The eldest sister of our Anbao High School...the eldest sister. Haha, I once...had a crush on her for five years." The boy continued to talk excitedly, waving his arms as if he was giving a wonderful speech, but...
His audience was only Qin Yi.
But he still spoke so impassionedly.
"Have you had a crush on her for five years?" Qin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, and the lights in front of his eyes continued to change into many.
He pinched his eyebrows, trying to make himself more awake.
"Yes, it was five years until she met Anjie. From that time on, I knew that I was no match for Anjie. I couldn't compete with him at all. Think about it, how can a rooster steal food from an eagle's mouth?
What? Haha, so...so, I gave up." The boy said with a smile, smelling of alcohol. He seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past, but he was not sad.
"Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?" Qin Yi and the boy leaned against the wall side by side and exhaled. When the boy said that he was no match for An Jie and chose to give up, Qin Yi felt very blocked in his heart.
Come to think of it, I am no match for An Jie.
Therefore, I chose the same approach as the boy.
However, this choice was not his original intention.
What he hopes is that if his giving up can bring Xiao Tong happiness, then he is willing to do that.
However, this year, he has been unable to get out of this strange circle of Xiao Tong's shadow.
The boy had been secretly in love with Xiao Tong for five years, but he was able to give up calmly.
Is he too stupid in love? Or is his heart very strong?
And compared to him, when he had been secretly in love with Xiao Tong for a year, what was he?
However, why can the boy let go, but he can't?
If you let go, you won't be in pain anymore.
Suddenly, Qin Yi felt a sympathy for the boy.
"Boy, if time could come back, would you... would you still choose to have a crush on her?" Qin Yi smiled bitterly, and he used his palm to push the fluffy hair on his forehead back.
"Yes, she was like a little hedgehog at that time. Although she was very sharp, she was loved by everyone." The boy giggled, his dark cheeks showing his white teeth: "Love can make people work hard. At that time, I studied hard.
