The Most Beautiful Years Met You [Seventy-three] He is not afraid to come out like this
Back at the hotel, Qin Shousheng returned the phone to her.
After Ye Hehuan took it, he put it on the bedside table without installing the battery to turn it on.
I turned off the lights and lay on the bed, still unable to fall asleep. I stared at the ceiling, and my mind was filled with images of Han Jingqiu*.
Even though she didn't witness it with her own eyes, she could already imagine the disgusting scene.
One night, Ye Hehuan had many dreams. In the dream, there were Han Minjing, Ye Zanwen, Yin Lian, Han Jingqiu, and Yu Zhongxiao. Different faces were intertwined in her mind, forming a huge and clamping force coming towards her.
She couldn't breathe...
In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight filtered in through the curtains, Ye Hehuan woke up. His eyes might have been swollen due to poor sleep.
When I sat up, I found that the table next to me was empty.
When Qin Shousheng got up, she didn't hear any sound, and there was no sign of him in the room.
When Ye Hehuan came out of the bathroom after washing his face, the door opened and Qin Shousheng came back with a large bag of assorted snacks: "Are you up already?"
He took out a cup of soy milk and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "There are so many breakfast stalls at the intersection around here, and the business is so busy. I waited in line for a long time to buy it. How does it taste? I saw this for myself.
I was squeezed by the landlady."
Ye Hehuan sat cross-legged on the bed and praised it with dignity: "It's not bad."
"When do you plan to return to Fengcheng?" Qin Shousheng handed over another piece of her favorite hibiscus cake: "School will start in one week."
"Let's check again on Monday." Ye Hehuan rolled his eyes, pursed his lips, and said with a faint dimple: "My sister-in-law will come to pick me up then."
"Then I'll stay with you here, and then we'll take my sister-in-law's car back together." Qin Shousheng said.
When breakfast was almost finished, Qin Shousheng suddenly said: "Is the man who went upstairs with your aunt last night the same pretty boy from the airport? It was dark and I didn't see clearly."
Ye Hehuan stopped twisting the hibiscus cake and raised his eyes to look at him.
"I'm just asking." Qin Shousheng hugged the pillow, as if to hide some of his thoughts: "You continue to eat yours."
Ye Hehuan nodded and really didn't answer.
Regarding Han Jingqiu, she suddenly lost any desire to complain. It was like a secret buried deep in her heart, and she was waiting for it to corrode and fester.
There was no room for her to interfere in that man's marriage. Han Jingqiu and Jiang Hui seemed to have filled all the vacancies.
——
Qin Shousheng got a game controller from somewhere. As soon as he finished breakfast, he turned on the computer and sat on the floor to play the game.
"You go back to your aunt's house first, and then come find me if nothing happens."
I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. Ye Hehuan was in no hurry to leave. He sat on the sofa eating potato chips and watching him play games. In the middle of the process, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the screen from the corner of his eye: "Your phone hasn't been turned on yet.
Right? Don’t let people find you by then.”
"Who would come to me -" Having said that, Ye Hehuan still took the mobile phone and installed the battery.
After turning on the phone, there were several missed calls, all from Ye Zhimin.
Ye Hehuan called back, and the call connected after two rings: "Sister-in-law, did you call me this morning?"
"Yes, my phone was turned off last night, and your aunt also didn't answer the phone. Your grandfather was worried and thought something had happened. I couldn't get through to your phone just now, so I called Asheng. He said you
I have been with him all the time. By the way, your uncle and I are almost arriving in Fengcheng."
Surprised, Ye Hehuan raised his head and looked at Qin Shousheng, who shrugged and said that he didn't know either.
…
I hurried back to my aunt's house. As soon as I arrived at the apartment downstairs, a car with a City B license plate was already parked by the lawn.
Go upstairs and open the door with the key. When you go in, you hear my sister-in-law laughing: "Really? If this works well, I will bring two bottles back to Hong Kong next time."
There were two pairs of men's leather shoes at the entrance. Except for her uncle's pair, she had seen the other pair before, but she was surprised that the man was back too.
I just don’t know if I came back last night or this morning.
If it was last night, did you bump into Ruan Yan who was staying overnight? But if you think about it carefully, if you were really caught again, how could your family be so peaceful today?
She couldn't help but think of Ruan Yan's own affairs. Even if he was beaten, he might not dare to tell Han Jingqiu the truth.
Otherwise, given Han Jingqiu's character, she would not have taken care of him in the hospital without complaint yesterday, let alone let him stay here overnight.
…
Ye Hehuan walked very lightly, thinking that no one would notice that she was back, but as soon as she walked over, she caught a look.
He was sitting on the single sofa near the balcony chatting with his uncle. He glanced at her inadvertently, but his eyes were extraordinarily deep, and she didn't think it was just a casual glance. In an instant, she was stuck there.
Suddenly, the sound of "little uncle" got stuck in my throat, and I couldn't get it out or swallow it.
"Come back?" Ye Zhimin suddenly turned his head and saw Ye Hehuan at a glance.
Han Jingqiu was sitting next to Ye Zhimin. She looked very good. She was wearing a set of pink home clothes. Her long hair was braided and hanging on her chest. Looking at her like this, she added a bit of a girlish charm. She also felt like Ye He
Huan smiled: "There is no sound when walking. Did you come here by taxi?"
"Yes." Ye Hehuan responded softly, then walked over and called everyone one by one.
Ye Zhimin patted the sofa next to her and motioned for her to sit down, while asking: "A Sheng didn't come with you?"
"Yes, where is Xiao Qin?" Han Jingqiu showed the hospitality of the hostess: "I just asked the housekeeping aunt to cook more rice. Please call him to come over for dinner."
"He...it's too late to play games." Ye Hehuan said.
With Qin Shousheng's familiar temper, if he just came with her if he wanted to have a meal, why would he need to invite her now?
However, Ye Zhimin and Han Jingqiu urged her to call.
After a phone call, Qin Shousheng said that he had already eaten. He could still vaguely hear the sound of gunfire in the game on the other end. It was obvious that he was playing in high spirits.
"If that's the case, forget it."
Ye Zhimin said, touching Ye Hehuan's cheek, and although he was reproaching, his tone was full of concern: "Yesterday, Ah Sheng called your grandpa. You kids just don't do things well. When I found you, you didn't even report. You
Grandpa has always been worried, for fear that something might happen to you."
Ye Hehuan stretched out an index finger to scratch his head and muttered softly: "Isn't this good?"
The housekeeper suddenly called his wife in the kitchen, and Han Jingqiu got up and went over.
Ye Hehuan looked up at her graceful back, and couldn't help but think about what happened last night, especially when she thought that they were doing it on the sofa, she felt a chill and felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
At this moment, Ye Zhimin accidentally knocked over the water glass and splashed most of the coffee table.
The paper towels in the living room are all gone.
Han Jingqiu's voice came from the kitchen: "I forgot to buy it when I went out yesterday. There is a freshly opened one in the study. Bring it over and use it."
"I'll get it." Ye Hehuan stood up.
——
After walking into the study room, which was separated from the living room by a wall, Ye Hehuan relaxed and patted his cheeks. His facial muscles were a little stiff from laughing just now.
The paper is placed on the desk.
Ye Hehuan walked over to get it and stood at the table. When he was about to reach out, he found a book open beside the paper.
The golden sunlight shines through the window, reflecting her lowered eyelashes, making it warm and intoxicating.
Ye Hehuan's eyes were fixed on the content of that page.
Footsteps sounded at the door of the study room. She subconsciously opened the book and turned around suddenly. Yu Zhongxiao had walked in. The air in the whole room suddenly became thinner. The moment she saw him, a paragraph from the book flashed in Ye Hehuan's mind.
Word--
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll encounter a * on some path between after class and dinner, I'm afraid the emptiness in my life will push me into a sudden and abnormal state of laissez-faire, loneliness is making me*, I need companionship and
Take care, my heart is a hysterical, unreliable organ. That’s how Rita comes into the picture…”
This is the inner monologue of the adult male protagonist after he is seduced by the teenage female protagonist.
Ye Hehuan could feel Yu Zhongxiao's eyes falling on her face. Her heartbeat changed rhythm, and she greeted slightly panicked: "Uncle..."
"Well, you didn't find the paper?"
"Looking for...found it!" He said and quickly reached for the paper box.
When Ye Hehuan turned around with the tissue in hand, she found that Yu Zhongxiao was already standing next to her, but she didn't notice it at all.
"Why did you shut down your phone last night?" finally came.
Ye Hehuan's eyes were a little dodgey: "...It's just that the phone's battery is out of power."
Her fingers instinctively dug at the edge of the paper box. She used to be able to tell lies without blinking, but now she feels inexplicably nervous even when she tells half-truths.
"Is there no charger in the hotel?" Yu Zhongxiao's question seemed aggressive, although his tone sounded calm.
"Qin Shousheng didn't bring a charger, so he took it to use first, and then I forgot to charge it when I fell asleep."
After a few seconds of silence, he did not dwell on this issue whether he believed it or not, and then asked: "Qin Shousheng came to find you alone?"
"Yeah." Although she acted respectfully on the face, secretly she couldn't help but roll her eyes. If she couldn't be alone, how could she be a pair?
"Sleep in the same room with him at night?"
"..." Ye Hehuan suddenly didn't want to answer.
Yu Zhongxiao lowered his eyes, looking at the back of Bai Xi's neck that was exposed due to her buried head, and said in a low-mellow and magnetic voice: "No matter how he is, he is still a boy. When people of the opposite sex reach a certain age, they must learn to avoid suspicion when getting along."
"We are not a couple." Ye Hehuan muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Besides, last year he came to Vancouver to visit me and slept under the same quilt."
Yu Zhongxiao frowned, his face darkened, and he stared at her with deep eyes, as if he disapproved of her behavior.
Ye Zhimin's voice came from outside: "This kid, why can't you get a tissue out?"
"Here we come!" Ye Hehuan replied anxiously.
She raised her voice very high, as if on purpose, and invisible sound waves drew a clear line between the two of them. She didn't even look at him after she finished speaking, and ran straight out.
——
Ye Hehuan sat down at the dining table. It took about five or six minutes before Yu Zhongxiao came out.
"Did you find the lighter? Come and sit." Han Jingqiu opened the chair next to her and carefully took the dishes and set them out. Ye Hehuan heard her ask: "Beer or red wine?"
"I won't drink anymore. I have to drive back to the army in the afternoon," the man said.
At the dinner table, Han Jingqiu acted like the hostess of the family, using serving chopsticks from time to time to pick up dishes for her sister-in-law and uncle, and the housekeeper cooked all the specialties of Fengcheng.
Midway, Ye Hehuan pretended to raise his head casually and looked at the couple sitting opposite.
Han Jingqiu was using a spoon to put a few quail eggs into the small bowl in Yu Zhongxiao's hand. She tilted her head and spoke softly. Even across the table, Ye Hehuan could see her delicately made-up eyebrows and had to
Admit it, they look really good for each other.
At this moment, she thought of a word - overcome strength with softness.
…
After the meal, the housekeeping aunt found that the dishwashing liquid was gone, and Ye Hehuan offered to go to the supermarket to buy it.
"How about I go?" Han Jingqiu got up from the sofa and went to the master bedroom to change clothes.
Ye Hehuan had already walked to the entrance to change his shoes: "You guys talk, I had too much for lunch and I just went down to digest it."
In the elevator, staring at the changing numbers, she knew that she just wanted to do something to divert her attention. It was really a bad day...
Ye Hehuan did not buy dish soap at the small supermarket in the community, but went to the underground supermarket not far away.
She put the dishwashing liquid on the cashier, and the cashier scanned the barcode: "Three eight dollars."
Just as she was about to pay, a pack of cigarettes was placed next to the dishwashing liquid. Ye Hehuan was stunned when a familiar deep male voice sounded behind her: "Let's calculate it together."
Looking back, it was really that person.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and then a thought flashed into her mind - isn't he afraid of others being suspicious of him coming out like this?
————————The author has something to say————————
The book mentioned in the article is "Lolita". The character setting is quite similar to Er Ge and Huan Huan, but it is a tragedy... After reading the small theater in the comment area, I had a question, and I took the liberty to ask:
Are your hearts yellow when you leave the factory? Or have I dyed you yellow during post-processing?
