Chapter 81
Chapter 81
Night falls.
Today there is a huge temperature difference between day and night.During the day, I only need to wear a short sleeve, and at night, I have to put on a coat.
"Hey, it's so cold."
"I told you that you should wear a coat if you don't wear enough, you still don't believe me."
Several employees of Xunye Technology came out of the building chatting.They worked overtime late and were the last batch of employees to leave.Now that the bus has been missed, I can only take a taxi.
One of them stretched his waist: "I worked overtime so late again, I haven't slept well for many days."
"There is no way, the project is about to go online now. We must hurry up."
"Did you say that Zhou always fights with iron? I don't think he takes a break!"
"It's definitely not easy to make such a big business at such a young age."
Several people walked away.
Qin Yusheng's fingertips were slightly cold, and he extinguished the cigarette.The last gleam of fire dissipated in the night.
He looked at the entrance and exit of the parking lot not far away.
By this time, Zhou Xun hadn't come out of the building yet.
Footsteps came from behind.He didn't pay attention at first.
Until the footsteps got closer and closer, it sounded quite familiar.Then he turned back abruptly.
Zhou Xun stood there.Eyes painted like crow feathers are like the night.
It seems that I didn't go out today, and I didn't change into a suit.Wear the most ordinary sweater.His bangs drooped down, slightly covering his eyebrows and eyes.
This appearance is more approachable than usual.
This is the first time that the other party approached him proactively in half a month.
Qin Yusheng's expression moved slightly, and he couldn't help raising his hand: "Zhou—"
The opponent avoided his hand and walked forward.
"Let's talk..."
Qin Yusheng froze his hands in the air, then lowered them, turned around and followed them together.
Day and night are two extremes in the commercial office area.
Just like a school, during the day there is a lot of people, and there are figures and laughter everywhere; but at night, everyone disappears.There are only empty classrooms and narrow corridors left.
The same goes for the streets of the office district at night.There were almost no people on the street, and the surrounding shops were closed.
Only occasionally a few cars roared past.
"Om-"
There are even sports cars.The huge roar resounded through the sky, scraping the air neatly and sinking into the darkness.
Until the car body disappeared, the reverberation of the roar could still be faintly heard.
Zhou Xun walked in front, and Qin Yusheng followed behind.All the way without words.
Qin Yusheng stared straight at Zhou Xun's back.Seeing the night wind blowing by, the other party's hair loosened and fell, looking a little messy.
He couldn't bear it anymore: "Zhou Xun..."
Zhou Xun stopped and looked sideways.
"Sorry..." he said, "I'm sorting out my thoughts."
Behind Zhou Xun is a spacious and empty street.A full moon hangs in the night sky, crystal clear and bright.
He stood in such a night, his appearance seemed to be different from usual.
"Then let's say what comes to mind."
"Sorry for shutting you down earlier."
"It's not right that I put the things I hate on you."
"I just wish..."
Can Qin Yusheng understand himself in this way?
But it now appears that this approach was completely wrong.It just pushes the relationship between the two to the other end that cannot be reversed.
Zhou Xun: "If you say, Qin Chuan and those Internet companies are not enough. What else do you want?"
Qin Yusheng opened his mouth.He hoarsely said for a while: "You say that, do you want to get rid of me again?"
Even if the other party intends to spend money to eliminate disasters, he doesn't want to have a relationship with him anymore.
Zhou Xun sighed: "If this goes on, we'll just torture each other."
Qin Yusheng can only be Qin Yusheng, it is impossible to become "Zhou Xun".And even if he forced himself to do what Qin Yusheng did, it would not be considered refreshing.
Looking back, he was really dazed during that time.
He likes Qin Yusheng, so he wants to keep him.He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, so he planned to severely suppress the other party, completely extinguishing the other party's hostility.
However, in the end, both sides suffered losses.
So, he found a last solution.
Spread it out.From then on, it's one shot and two parts, and there's nothing to do with it.
"You are chasing after me now because you are not reconciled." Zhou Xundao, "Too much time wasted on me, this is called sunk cost. But even if the stalemate continues..."
He paused: "There will be no result."
"Frankly, you just need someone who is after you wholeheartedly. And that person doesn't have to be me."
Like he said before.
He wished Qin Yusheng that he would find the next "Zhou Xun".
"So for the last time." Zhou Xun stretched out his hand, "Let's shake hands and make peace..."
"I won't have to settle things between us anymore. I hope you can take a step back, too."
Qin Yusheng didn't interrupt.
He silently listened to Zhou Xun finish his speech.It was very quiet all around.Only occasionally I heard the rustling and rustling of the leaves of the street trees.
He moved his gaze down to the outstretched hand of the other party.Then he slowly raised his arm and held the palm of his hand.
Zhou Xun: "Then..."
"What are you talking about yourself?"
Qin Yusheng slapped Zhou Xun tightly with five fingers.
"Is it just because I'm not reconciled?"
"It's not up to you?"
"I can't be with anyone but you."
Zhou Xun only felt pain in his hand because the opponent was too strong.But he didn't even frown: "Because you haven't tried it."
Qin Yusheng: "Have you tried?"
Zhou Xun: "..."
"You like me..." Qin Yusheng said firmly, "It's impossible for you to be with anyone else except me."
Zhou Xun's eyelids twitched.
At this time, this person is still saying such things.
"Of course I can..." Because he was a little angry, he turned up his volume a little bit.
Qin Yusheng's palm strength increased again, and a trace of resentment flashed across his face.But he quickly restrained himself and continued with the following words.
"I didn't understand why you did it until the end."
At first, he had to admit he was mortified.
The other party has done so many things without telling him that he can treat him as an outsider.Later, they deprived him of his personal freedom and forced him to do those worthless housework.
He just felt that the other party was playing with him.
As early as the beginning of the reunion, when he was complacent and thought that the two of them would be on the right track from now on, Zhou Xun had already planned this way.She planned all this because she hated him and because she wanted to see him deflated.
So much so that I never thought about it.
What he once did to Zhou Xun.Then what the other party did to him.
He has always accepted Zhou Xun's efforts as a matter of course, and he didn't feel wrong at all.He never faced up to the other person's feelings and thoughts.
I only know how to ask and accept blindly, without any return.
Do not……
Qin Yusheng thought.
He used to think arrogantly that he gave Zhou Xun "love" and "protection" to Zhou Xun, and this was the reward.
But obviously, Zhou Xun doesn't need these illusory things.
During the two months that the other party locked him—perhaps for Zhou Xun, the ten years of his last life, he was so firmly bound physically and mentally.
"So whether you want revenge..." Qin Yusheng said, "Even if you continue to imprison me, I don't care."
"You can do whatever you want."
His volume was a little lower: "So, give me another chance."
The stronger the night wind, the more violent the surrounding street trees swayed.The rustling sound was continuous, and it almost sounded like it was going to rain.
As if attracted by the sound, cold raindrops really fell and hit the leaves.
The originally bright full moon was covered by dark clouds.It was getting more gloomy.
Zhou Xun looked at each other quietly.
The tone is very sincere.
But he knew in his heart that Qin Yusheng would not change.
Tried so many times.The facts are clear.
Otherwise, the other party will not return to his original appearance after the first reunion; let alone after he takes a series of actions, the other party will only feel puzzled and resentful.
Didn't realize at all why he would do this.
Until he said it himself.
And even in the end, Qin Yusheng still chose to escape and chose the Qin family.
The raindrops fell coldly on his face.Zhou Xun wanted to pull his hand out, but he couldn't move.
The other party held him tightly.
Zhou Xun: "So far..."
Qin Yusheng: "No..."
Zhou Xun: "If this goes on like this, it's just another start." His face was expressionless, "Qin Yusheng, why didn't I realize that you like to toss around so much before."
Qin Yusheng: "..."
Qin Yusheng: "I won't let go. Unless you promise me."
Zhou Xun frowned: "Are you a child?"
"Just treat me like a child."
The rain gradually became heavier.Raindrops flowed down Qin Yusheng's face, but he didn't notice it.The light-colored eyes are still staring directly at Zhou Xun.
"So I always only think about myself. If you don't tell me many things, I won't understand."
Zhou Xun slightly looked away: "It's my fault..."
"No..." Qin Yusheng's eyes flushed slightly, "I just want to say, I will change."
The two held hands in the rain.The distance is so close, but the soul is so far away.
The rain absorbed the body temperature of the two of them, and it became colder and colder.
"28 years...no." Zhou Xun asked back, "plus these ten years. The character that has been cultivated for such a long time can be changed if it is said to be changed."
Qin Yusheng didn't answer immediately like before.After a moment of silence, he said: "It will take some time. But..."
"And..." Zhou Xundao, "You don't have to do these things for me."
Qin Yusheng was taken aback.
Zhou Xun: "I said it just now. You only chased after you because you were unwilling."
"Even if I promise you now. After a while, you will become impatient. You will want to escape..."
Qin Yusheng: "I won't—"
Zhou Xun: "Maybe if you find true love in the future, you can really change for that person. But it won't be me..."
"Zhou Xun!" Qin Yusheng was a little sullen at the moment, "How many times do you want me to say it?"
"You're right..."
Zhou Xun felt the opponent's sudden increase in strength.The expression remained unchanged: "I do like you."
From the first time we met, Qin Yusheng was a shining figure.
His life had been nothing but darkness.Being bullied by classmates, the family is in dire straits and has no home to return to.
And Qin Yusheng reached out to him and led him away from that house.Take him to see all kinds of scenery that he has never seen before.
——Most importantly, I said "together" with him.
So to him, Qin Yusheng is a "hero".
This made him smug.So much so that he didn't realize until ten years later that Qin Yusheng had never said the word "like" or "love" to him personally.
If it hadn't been for that classmate meeting, he would never have realized it.
Or rather, don't want to admit it.
Time has passed so many years.But whenever I think of the past, the scene of that class reunion will still come to my eyes clearly.
There are many people, and the excitement is extraordinary.Even without him, it is still hot.
【"What do you know? It must be that person who is so shameless that he wants to pester brother Yusheng. Brother Yusheng is so kind, it is impossible to let that person wait outside to die."】
【"Brother Qin, although that kid is annoying, he should be very obedient."】
【"obedient?"】
[The flame ignited, and the man seemed to light a cigarette: "It's quite obedient. Free nanny, how convenient."]
Countless images flashed through my mind for a moment, and then I returned to reality again.
Zhou Xun looked at the figure of the person in front of him.Her hair was drenched by the rain, and she looked a little embarrassed.
The appearance of the other party coincided with the man who lit the cigarette in his previous life.
It was originally a person.
"But I don't want to..." Zhou Xun said softly, "I'll be your free nanny again."
The sound is very soft, almost inaudible.Floating in the dark night, blending into the sound of rustling and rain.
Although, Qin Yusheng still heard it.
Because he was so close, he could hear it clearly.But he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
"what?"
Zhou Xun lowered his eyes: "It's literally."
Sensing that the man in front of him was relieved a little, he pulled his hand out with a little force.
The palm is empty.Qin Yusheng held it a few times, but he couldn't catch anything.
The rain is getting heavier.The temperature is being lost from the body, and even the only warmth is gradually disappearing.
Seeing that Zhou Xun seemed to be about to turn around and leave, he grabbed his shoulder and said, "What do you mean? I've never thought of that before!"
Zhou Xun couldn't help but stagger.The soles of the shoes stepped on the stagnant water, and the water splashed everywhere.
Qin Yusheng clasped Zhou Xun's shoulders firmly, his eyes were red: "I never, never regarded you as a free nanny."
The human voice became indistinct due to the noisy rain.
Zhou Xun was drenched in the rain, watching the raindrops fall and connect into a line, forming a transparent cage.
So……
he thought...
Is it because his ears are bad? Or is it that the person at the class reunion is not Qin Yusheng?
Just thinking about this reason makes me laugh.
Zhou Xun said, "Actually, I can understand."
"After all, I have no advantages. You are with me just for convenience."
Xu Shi didn't expect to hear this sentence from Zhou Xun's mouth, Qin Yusheng couldn't help being stunned.
"I couldn't think about it before, and I felt unwilling." Zhou Xunwei frowned invisibly, "Now I finally understand it."
"There's no need to lock you in and force you to change. And..."
He paused, "Even if you insist on being with me now, I will not become the former "Zhou Xun". "
Qin Yusheng's lips moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
Zhou Xun looked at him, put his hand on the opponent's arm, and wanted to push him away.Who would have expected the other party to come over vigorously and pull him into his arms suddenly.
It's not so much a hug, it's better to say that Qin Yusheng restrained Zhou Xun unilaterally.
He held Zhou Xun's shoulder with one hand, wrapped his other hand around Zhou Xun's waist, and firmly grasped the skirt of his clothes with his five fingers.As if afraid of people running away.
"no……"
Perhaps because it was too cold, Qin Yusheng's voice trembled slightly.
"I'm with you not for convenience."
Zhou Xun's hands were hanging down, his eyes fell on the man's back.The other party's hair brushed against his ear, a little itchy.
"I heard..." he said, "Do you want me to repeat it to you?"
Zhou Xun raised his hand and put it on Qin Yusheng's shoulder.
"It's very obedient. Free babysitting, how convenient.""
In an instant, Qin Yusheng's body became extremely stiff.
He forgot...
Until Zhou Xun said this sentence, he completely forgot.
The words were spoken without restraint, not to mention that Zhou Xun was not present at the time.
And when the other party imitated his emphatic retelling, the memory in his mind suddenly revived.
It turned out that Zhou Xun heard it.
So until the end, I neither came to the class reunion nor replied to his information.
Why would he say such a thing at that time.
It was the flattery of the students at the scene.
The relationship between him and Zhou Xun, in the eyes of outsiders, is "boss" and "little brother".
Unnecessary self-esteem and unnecessary love of face made him fail to face up to the relationship between himself and Zhou Xun.
So he can never be exposed.
And he knew that Zhou Xun would give in and tolerate unconditionally.This made his "ego" more and more inflated to the point where he couldn't suppress it.
——No matter what he does, Zhou Xun will never get angry.
And the most important point is that he had a quarrel with Zhou Xun that day.unilateral.
Zhou Xun is going to find He Xing.Just because the other party called and said something similar to concern.
He obviously suffered so much from that woman, so he broke off the relationship early on.But when he received the call, Zhou Xun went away with a shy face.
He couldn't bear it, extremely disgusted.
The word that blurted out under pride and resentment was that word.
- Free babysitting.
Zhou Xun held Qin Yusheng's shoulders and pushed them away.The two distanced themselves.However, the other party still did not let go, still tugging at the hem of his clothes.
Zhou Xun: "Everything I did for you in my previous life was voluntary."
"because I like you."
Although he was confessing, his tone was extremely flat.
Qin Yusheng trembled and looked up.His face was covered with rain.
"But I'm not so shameless..." Zhou Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, "Continue wasting time on people who don't like me."
He covered the hand that was holding his skirt, and forcibly opened his five fingers.
One after another.
Until the other party is completely released.
Then, he also let go of the other party.Take a step back.
"this is the last time."
Zhou Xun's face was also covered with rain.Although the appearance is equally embarrassing, but only a pair of eyes are very clear.
"Goodbye..."
"Qin Yusheng..."
He turned away.
"Wait--"
Qin Yusheng wanted to chase after him.But his foot stepped into the stagnant water, and because he was too anxious, he became unsteady and fell to the ground.
The clothes were already wet, but now they are completely wet.
However, the person in front of him didn't look back, and his figure almost merged with the torrential rain, walking further and further away.
"Zhou Xun!"
Qin Yusheng propped himself up and stood up.
Turns out he had been wrong all along.Zhou searched for reasons to avoid him and supervise him.
At first, he thought that Zhou Xunguan was for revenge; later, he thought that it was to make him feel the same way.
And it wasn't until now that he fully understood.Zhou Xun wanted to prove one thing, and now he finally got the result.
But that's totally wrong!
It's not that he is reconciled, let alone for convenience, because he likes Zhou Xun, so he wants to be with him.
He couldn't bear to say words like "like" or "love".And because of Zhou Xun's "doting", he never thought of taking the initiative to give.
Or, he arrogantly thought that he had paid.
So now we must catch up and explain everything clearly.
Tell Zhou Xun what you think, and tell Zhou Xun that those words are just bastard words.Then apologize.
It is not easy for a person to change, maybe he will repeat the same mistakes again.
He hoped that Zhou Xun could stand by his side at that time.Be alert to him, even if you slap him, it doesn't matter.
end of life.Except for Zhou Xun, he couldn't imagine anyone else by his side.
Qin Yusheng was running in the rain, but for some reason, the distance could not be shortened no matter what.
"and many more!"
"Zhou Xun!"
He yelled that person's name, hoping that the other person would turn around.
But the sound of the rain seemed to drown out his voice.The other party continued to move forward as if he hadn't heard it.
A car drove by, splashed a puddle of water, and stopped on the side of the road.He saw Zhou Xun open the car door and get in.The engine starts again.
——Wait, no.
"Zhou Xun!"
Whether it's getting in the rain or calling someone else's name out loud like this, in his opinion, it's extremely ridiculous and embarrassing.
He would never have done it.But now not only did it, but at the same time.
He couldn't let Zhou Xun just leave.
Not "the last time" or "never see you again".
He wants; he must get Zhou Xun back!
The vehicle speeded up slowly and passed the intersection.
Qin Yusheng followed closely and stepped onto the sidewalk.
He was only looking at the car that Zhou Xun had just gotten into, so he didn't notice at all - the signal light had changed.
The little green man becomes a no-go.The color of the front signal light also changes from green to red.
Since it was late at night, originally there were no vehicles on the road.
However, there are always surprises.
When Qin Yusheng came to the middle of the road, two beams of light shot from not far away.The familiar roar of a sports car pierced through my ears, and it became louder and louder amidst the torrential rain.
He finally realized something was wrong and stopped in his footsteps.
Looking sideways, I saw a huge object coming in the pouring rain.Accompanied by a huge roar, the beam of light that came was slightly dazzling.
He unconsciously closed his eyes and raised his hands to cover them.
"Oh!"
A dull bang.
The car stopped.Rainwater swirled into the sewers.After a while, it was dyed red.
Someone got out of the car.When he saw the scene in front of him, he knelt down and hugged his head in despair.
"I, I didn't see..."
"Who told you to drive so fast in the rain. What, what can I do!?"
"Ambulance, call an ambulance!"
There was a pungent fishy smell in the air.It almost covered up the humidity brought by the rain, and it became more and more intense.
The fallen man still had his eyes open, and the faraway vehicles were reflected in his eyes.
It seemed that someone came up and asked anxiously.
However, his brain can no longer think rationally.There is only one thing left.
what……
he thinks……
The car drove away.
Zhou Xun sat in the car.Soft music was playing in the car, covering up the sound of rain beating on the hood.
Vaguely, he heard a loud bang.But the voice was fleeting and was quickly covered up.
Zhou Xun looked up at the driver in front of him, seeing that there was no response from the other party, he felt that he had heard wrong.
Maybe it was ringing in my own brain.
He shook his head, closed his eyes and meditated.
All in all, he thought he had already said what had to be said.
It just so happens that he will be on a business trip starting tomorrow. He will come back in a month and change his place of residence. After that, Qin Yusheng should also give up slowly.
This time, no matter what "bitter tricks" the other party resorts to, he will not change his mind.
On the second day, Zhou Xun took the suitcase and got into the car.Ready to go straight to the airport.
While flipping through the news, I suddenly saw a message.
[The Prince Qin's car accident.The situation is critical, life and death unknown]
He paused with his fingers.But still click in to see.
There are no photos, only empty descriptions.
Zhou Xun frowned more and more.
Qin Yusheng managed to talk to him last night, but now he was in a car accident and hospitalized?
The current unscrupulous media really dare to write anything for the sake of gimmicks.
He reported the news.And when you pull down, you see a lot of related news.
He looked up and asked the driver: "When you picked me up yesterday, was there a car accident over there?"
"Ah?" The driver looked in the rearview mirror, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, it rained too much yesterday, so I didn't pay much attention."
Zhou Xun lowered his head and continued to read the related news.
Not long after, I heard the driver in front say again: "Mr. Zhou, I just went to ask my friend. It seems that there was indeed a car accident in that area. It's time for me to pick you up."
"This is too tragic..." He sighed, "It's a good thing you didn't see it. I heard that the scene was quite bloody. If you saw it, you might have a nightmare."
Zhou Xun: "How come..."
The driver didn't understand what Zhou Xun meant.I thought I was talking about "how can I have nightmares", so I started to boast that Mr. Zhou was brave enough to see the world.
Ji Li Gua said something, but Zhou Xun didn't listen at all.
He is thinking...
How could it be a real car accident.It must be the same as last time, in order to make myself feel guilty, I deliberately resorted to bitter tricks.
The scenes are too similar.
Last time when he was trying to get rid of Qin Yusheng, there was a car accident; then the same thing happened again this time.
He will not be deceived again.
Zhou Xun turned off his phone and took out his computer, wanting to deal with business.But as soon as he turned it on, he picked up the phone again.
Then, a phone call was made.
"Hey?"
"it's me……"
"Yes, go to the airport now. Don't worry, I can make it."
"... "
"One thing..." Zhou Xun squeezed the fuselage tightly, "I may have to ask you again."
