Chapter 33
Autumn in Province A almost passed by in a flash, and the autumn nights were comparable to early winter.
When Li Xinghe went out, he specially brought a coat to prevent Zhao Qingbei from being cold without a coat.
According to the location sharing, he ran to the playground where there were almost no people there, and saw Zhao Qingbei sitting on the steps with Bai Ju on the phone next to him, so he just threw him there.
Li Xinghe ran over, the air he exhaled was covered with white mist.
Under the street lamp, Zhao Qingbei maintained a sitting posture peacefully, with her hands on her knees, she didn't look like she was drinking too much, but she still showed a weird cuteness.
He couldn't help but wonder if Bai Ju was exaggerating, this person didn't actually drink alcohol?
"Xinghe, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Bai Ju saw him as if he was a rescuer, "Hurry up, help me get him to the dormitory, I'm about to freeze to a mummified corpse."
He only wore a long sleeve, and stood in the night wind for most of the day, which was a bit overwhelming.
Zhao Qingbei wore even less clothes than him, only a T-shirt, and he didn't know where the clothes went.
Li Xinghe put the coat on for him, and asked casually: "Can't you support him alone? He doesn't make a fuss, so he can just carry it back."
When the coat touched Zhao Qingbei, he raised his eyelids, and those eyes that were like tiny stars met Li Xinghe's eyes.
The eyeballs were as dark as the obsidian beside his ears, and there was an inexplicable feeling of brokenness that made people palpitate.
Li Xinghe's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that he was really drunk.
He seldom looked at people with this kind of eyes, as if... spread himself out in front of him, defenseless and unpretentious.
He gathered his clothes together, and his fingertips touched his cold arms. This guy didn't know how long he had been in the wind. His body was so cold, what if he caught a cold.
Bai Su said helplessly: "You'll know how difficult it is once you help him. He said he wouldn't go with someone he didn't know, and insisted on waiting for you to come over. He also said he had something for you."
Li Xinghe knew that he couldn't reason with a drunk, so he turned to Zhao Qingbei, folded his arms and asked, "I'm here, where are things?"
Zhao Qingbei turned his eyes to look at him, in addition to being a little more sluggish than usual, his tone was also very unlike drinking too much, "In the dormitory."
Li Xinghe looked at him suspiciously, once again suspecting that he was pretending to be drunk.
"Then let's go, go to your dormitory." He said smoothly.
Zhao Qingbei got up obediently, but staggered the moment he stood up.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Bai Su hurriedly supported him. Only then did Li Xinghe realize that he was really drunk, and finally realized what Bai Su meant when he said that the degree of difficulty was high.
He and Bai Su stood alone and supported Zhao Qingbei. This kid is not walking unsteadily anymore, he will not walk at all!No wonder he just sat there without moving.
Zhao Qingbei's two long legs seemed to be out of control, dragging limply on the ground.
Li Xinghe gritted his teeth and struggled: "I really took it, how much did he drink?"
Bai Ju was also wheezing and panting: "Drinking it mixed up, I vomited once before, that's how he got drunk, you don't have to worry about anything, but you can't walk, you don't even know what I went through when I brought him back .”
"He looks very thin, but he is so heavy."
"Where is he thinner, does he have abdominal muscles?"
The two of them complained one after another, and Li Xinghe had already forgotten about interrogating him.
Well, people drink like this, and ask a fart.
They worked together to send Zhao Qingbei back to the dormitory, and they breathed a sigh of relief after putting him on the bed.
Li Xinghe looked around his dormitory, wiped off his sweat, and said, "There are actually two rooms in this building? The space is so big, bigger than ours."
Their dormitory is not the upper bunk bed and the lower bunk table, but two single beds, and the table is elsewhere, and the occupied area is indeed larger than the quadruple room.
"This is the dormitory for graduate students," Bai Ju said, "He lives with Jiang Yuheng, but Jiang Yuheng seems to have gone home today."
Li Xinghe nodded enviously. After all, his father is there, so it is not difficult to find a dormitory for graduate students.
Bai Su glanced at the phone and said: "Well, Sanhua has something to do with me, I have to go first. You can take care of him, don't let him vomit everywhere, thanks for your hard work, Xinghe."
"...It's okay." Li Xinghe originally wanted to go with him, but he was blocked by the second half of his sentence.
After Bai suddenly left, he looked at Zhao Qingbei on the bed, and felt that he seemed to be asleep, and there was no sign of vomiting.
Li Xinghe walked over, wanting to see his condition.
But as soon as he took a step, Zhao Qingbei sat up from the bed.
His sitting posture was extremely stiff, as rigid as a machine with rusted parts.
Li Xinghe asked carefully: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to vomit? Would you like some water?"
He hadn't served drunk people much before, so he thought what if Zhao Qingbei vomited all over the place later, ah!Will it be disgusting!
But Zhao Qingbei didn't vomit, and didn't even look at him again. He rubbed his brows uncomfortably, and said softly, "Brother, you're here."
Li Xinghe thought in his heart that I came earlier, otherwise someone would have brought you back.
It was rare for him to see Zhao Qingbei so unconscious, so he couldn't hold back his curiosity and went to sit beside him.
Don't they all tell the truth after drinking? I don't know if I can ask anything.
He cleared his throat and said, "I'll ask you a question, and you have to answer it truthfully."
"Okay." Zhao Qingbei put down his hands and looked at him with misty eyes.
Li Xinghe shook the palm of his hand, suddenly felt a burst of tension, and the palm of his hand quickly felt hot and humid.
"Tell me the truth, are you a patrcik?" He heard his voice calmly asked.
Zhao Qingbei didn't speak, but gave him a big box from the bedside table next to him. His cheeks were flushed, but his voice was dry, "Brother, open it and have a look."
Li Xinghe didn't know why, but when he took it apart, he found it was a thick photo album.
He turned to the first page, and his hands froze.
It's his favorite snow mountain.
The photo was wrapped in plastic, with a line written on the back—for my brother, fropatrick.
This time the handwriting is completely different, flamboyant and vigorous.
The next ones are all the photos he liked the most and commented on, from five years ago to the present.
Li Xinghe couldn't help but let out a gasp.
During the five years, he couldn't remember how many times he liked and commented, and he couldn't remember which ones he said he liked.
Zhao Qingbei went through all his comments in the past five years, and wrote "for my brother" on the back of each photo. I don't know how much time and energy it took.
If this kind of thing happened to Xia Qi, Li Xinghe would think it might be quite normal.
But when it happened to Zhao Qingbei, he was particularly moved.
Zhao Qingbei is not a person who would waste time on this, unless it is really important to him.
"When... did this start?" Li Xinghe asked in a murmur, rubbing the photo.
Zhao Qingbei said: "From the first day I knew my brother liked me."
He gently held Li Xinghe's hand and said: "I'm sorry, I was afraid to scare you, so I didn't tell you the truth. You can be angry with me, but don't ignore me, okay?"
To be honest, half an hour ago, Li Xinghe was a little angry.
But now seeing such a heavy photo album, he couldn't get angry anymore.
"I know my brother guessed it, that's why I went to drink on purpose today." Zhao Qingbei's eyes darkened, "Because only after drinking, can I dare to tell my brother the truth."
Li Xinghe's heart trembled.
"You... After you sent me the document, you knew I would guess it, so why did you send it to me?" He couldn't help asking.
Zhao Qingbei said in a low voice: "Compared to the fact that you hate me, I don't want to see you feel disappointed because you can't participate in the competition."
His brows and eyes drooped, and he lost his usual calm and calm appearance. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of grievances and sadness.
Li Xinghe lost his temper completely.
He held back for a while, but still couldn't hold back, and touched Zhao Qingbei's cheek with his hands.
"I don't hate you." He said seriously, "I never will."
"Really?" Zhao Qingbei suddenly raised his eyes, and his dark eyes seemed to brighten up instantly.
Li Xinghe nodded, "Really."
From childhood to adulthood, except for Ding Huishan, no one has been so kind to him. Every time, he puts his feelings first, and always chooses to consider him more under the balance.
No matter what kind of person it is, it will be touched.
Zhao Qingbei bent his eyes, looked at him and said, "Brother, can I give you a hug?"
Li Xinghe was stunned, "Huh?"
Why are you about to hug me all of a sudden?
Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Qingbei's eyes flickered, "Can't you?"
Don't make such an expression, Li Xinghe said heartily.
He spread his arms pretentiously, "Hug, why not."
He originally wanted to wrap his arms around Zhao Qingbei's waist and bring him into his arms, so his arms were slightly downward.
But Zhao Qingbei seemed to think the same as him, after hearing his promise, he put his arms around his waist and pulled him over.
Li Xinghe's hand was forced to lift upwards, barely wrapping around his neck.
The two were pressed tightly together, and the sound of each other's heartbeat came from the chest.
Li Xinghe's chin bumped against his shoulder, and it hurt a little. He thought this kid was quite rude, with such strength, he was almost out of breath.
Zhao Qingbei hugged him very hard, buried his face in his neck as if it wasn't enough, and took a few deep breaths.
Li Xinghe's body froze immediately.
At first it seemed like he was just hugging casually, but isn't he too... a little clingy?
He seemed to be rubbed on the neck by a big cat, his skin was itchy, and he couldn't help but shrink back.
"Brother smells good." Zhao Qingbei said sullenly, "Like milk candy."
Li Xinghe comforted himself, he was drunk, everything smelled like food.
"Don't go, please, stay here with me."
"I'm afraid of the dark, so don't go."
"I lied just now, but I'm actually more afraid that you hate me."
Zhao Qingbei said in a low voice.
Whenever he was a little sober, he couldn't say these words.
Li Xinghe thought it was funny on the one hand, but on the other hand he felt sour.
He vaguely realized that Zhao Qingbei was just a 19-year-old boy.
Perhaps it was because he was too calm and indifferent that he kept ignoring that this was just a younger brother who was one year younger than him.
His whole body seemed to be soaked in a cup of hand-made lemon tea. The taste of honey made him addicted, and the taste of lemon made him sour and bitter, and his heart was full.
By coincidence, he stretched out his hand and touched the back of Zhao Qingbei's head.
The silky hair slid across the palm, like comfort, but also like tacit approval.
"I won't leave, and I don't hate you." He responded in a loud voice.
That night, Li Xinghe made do with Jiang Yuheng's bed.
In fact, he didn't fall asleep very much, and looked at Zhao Qingbei on the opposite bed for a long time with the help of the night light.
After the night became quiet, his head was not as dazed as it was before, and it became much clearer after lying down.
He probably understood Zhao Qingbei's affection for and dependence on him, but this feeling was very vague, maybe he didn't even know what it was.
Judging from his performance, it is true that he likes himself, but it does not necessarily mean that he likes his lover.
It may be to a brother, or it may be to a friend.
Besides, he also has a doll relative.
Thinking of this, Li Xinghe couldn't sleep anymore.
He recalled that time when Zhao Qingbei mentioned baby kiss, the concealed but happy smile on the corner of Zhao Qingbei's mouth - "It depends on whether he is willing or not."
In other words, if that person is willing, Zhao Qingbei will go with him without hesitation.
Li Xinghe felt his chest was blocked by a huge boulder. This boulder could be as big as the one he saw when he and his mother traveled to Huangshan.
Hold!Why is it so boring!
He hammered the bed secretly, thinking that he shouldn't stay tonight.
It's time to leave after comforting her, and leave Zhao Qingbei alone in the dormitory.
He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, but the other party slept soundly, breathing evenly all the way until dawn.
In the morning Li Xinghe got up to take a shower, he dug out a new toothbrush from the cabinet, and brushed his teeth in front of the mirror.
"Morning, brother." A greeting came from the door.
Li Xinghe turned his head away, the toothpaste foam suddenly choked into his intake pipe, and he coughed with a red face.
"You...you..." He pointed at Zhao Qingbei and was speechless.
Zhao Qingbei only wore a pair of shorts, and leaned against the door with his upper body naked, holding his hands and smiling at him.
His skin is fair and smooth, his shoulder blades and chest muscles are well-proportioned and not exaggerated, his abdomen is neatly arranged with eight-pack abs, and the mermaid line disappears all the way to the edge of the shorts.
Seeing such a sexy and exciting picture early in the morning is like showing him a movie for a gay.
Li Xinghe watched him walk over, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Qingbei smiled innocently and said, "Go to the bathroom."
As he spoke, he unbuttoned his trouser belt in front of him.
"Damn it, you take it off later!!" Li Xinghe was going crazy, he dropped his toothbrush and rushed out the door, fearing that he would see something he shouldn't see in the next second.
He ran outside the door, almost hitting the door frame, panting wildly against the wall.
Zhao Qingbei's deep laughter came from inside, "What are you running, it's not like you haven't seen it before."
Didn't you see it?
He hasn't seen it before, has he?
Li Xinghe was sad and angry, did this guy forget how pitifully he begged himself to forgive last night?How could he be so unscrupulous when he woke up!
When Zhao Qingbei came out of the shower, there was no one in the dormitory.
He wiped his hair casually with a bath towel, and seeing that the photo album was also taken away, he couldn't help laughing again.
The phone vibrated a few times at this moment, he connected it and put it to his ear, Jiang Yuheng's voice came from the other end, "My brother, can I go back? It's ten o'clock, and I've been wandering outside all morning."
"Come back, he's gone." Zhao Qingbei said nonchalantly.
Jiang Yuheng immediately said: "Remember you owe me a bottle of good wine."
"Remember."
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yuheng came in hurriedly, and he was waiting downstairs in the dormitory.
As soon as he entered the door, he began to sniff, his eyes rolled around, "I said, what did you do last night? This dormitory is so inconvenient, the place is small, and the bed is hard. If you tell me in advance, I will call my hotel early." I'll keep it for you."
"Fuck you." Zhao Qingbei said flatly, "I didn't do anything, it's not as dirty as you think."
Jiang Yuheng rubbed his nose, and there seemed to be no clues, "Hey, how can this kind of thing be called dirty? You really don't want to try it in the dormitory? It's very exciting."
Ever since he saw the circle of friends on Zhao Qingbei's mobile phone last time, he vaguely understood what was going on.
Zhao Qingbei coughed, "It's not that far yet."
Jiang Yuheng continued to say intoxicatedly: "The bed here is too narrow, you can only sit on chairs, and the sound insulation is not good, you have to cover his mouth..."
Zhao Qingbei's eyes froze, "Damn you, you wouldn't have done such a thing, would you? Here?"
His face turned livid with the naked eye.
Jiang Yuheng quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I swear no! I just saw it in a small movie..."
He observed Zhao Qingbei, "By the way, I wanted to tell you something yesterday, and you kicked me out in a hurry. Then what, my brother said that he recruited Xinghe to his studio, I was thinking I need to tell you."
"Li Xiao?" Zhao Qingbei frowned.
Jiang Yuheng's elder brother has some past with him, but it's not a past.To put it simply, Li Xiao is gay, and there is nothing strange about it, nine out of ten men in the fashion industry.
A long time ago, when Zhao Qingbei was in his third year of high school, Li Xiao had pursued him.Zhao Qingbei's line of rejection has remained unchanged for thousands of years: I have a fiancee.
But the trouble is, Li Xiao is not easy to fool.
After he found out that the fiancée was just a casual joke in the Zhao family, he began to frantically show his presence in front of Zhao Qingbei.
Finally, Zhao Qingbei got annoyed, and told him in a broken jar: "I have someone I like, and I am 1."
Li Xiao felt a bolt from the blue. Of course, what shocked him was not that Zhao Qingbei had someone he liked, but that they collided.
This absurd pursuit finally came to an end in Li Xiao's autism. From then on, he was very polite and polite when he saw Zhao Qingbei, because no one would be interested in his own kind again.
Jiang Yuheng scratched his head, "My brother didn't bother you anymore, did he? He didn't know that you knew Xinghe, he only knew that Xinghe was my senior."
I don't know what the hell, Zhao Qingbei thought, not only does he know, he might even want to pry into my corner.
He asked, "Where is the studio address? Did he say when the internship would start?"
Jiang Yuheng said: "There seems to be an interview on Gongbei Road in the past few days. I don't know the details."
Zhao Qingbei nodded with a gloomy face.
In the public elective class, Li Xinghe and Xia Qi sat in the last row.
Xia Qi saw the resume pressed under his hands and asked, "Are you going for an interview?"
"The editor-in-chief of the competition last time asked me to try it." Li Xinghe said.
Xia Qi worried: "Are you sure you want to go? In case Aunt Ding asks..."
"Let's go and have a look first, and stay if it's suitable. My stepfather said that he's trying to hint at my mother recently."
Xia Qi was pissed off by the phrase "my stepfather", "They haven't received the certificate yet, have your stepfather called?"
"I got it," Li Xinghe handed out the biscuits to her from under the table, "I got it last week. They said it was a wedding this year, and my dad was invited."
Xia Qi couldn't help laughing: "As expected of me, Aunt Ding, is she so cruel? The big photographer must not be pissed off by her."
Li Xinghe said impatiently: "My mother didn't know if she was driven crazy by the marriage recently. She called me to go on a blind date every day, and said that it was impossible to go back and ask her girlfriend if she had any resources."
Xia Qi ate melons and said: "Her best friend? Is that the rich man whose elder son is sick in a wheelchair, whose second son is mentally ill, and whose husband is a control freak?"
"Your summary is very incisive. If only you could memorize modern history like this." Li Xinghe praised without much emotion.
Xia Qi said: "Aren't you going to marry into a wealthy family? My God, Xing Xing, you must not agree! What about Mr. Zhao? Ah, yes, why don't you consider Mr. Zhao, he is also a wealthy family! !"
Li Xinghe flicked her forehead, "Are you sick, are you stupid?"
He tilted his head, lowered his eyelids and said, "It's impossible for me and him."
"I've never tried it, how do you know it's impossible?"
"He has someone he likes."
"Ah?" Xia Qi was stunned. Doesn't he like you?
Li Xinghe tried his best to keep calm, and talked to her about science: "It's the baby girl you have asked countless times. He told me... It doesn't count as telling, it probably means that, he likes his fiancée."
Even he himself didn't realize that when he said this, his tone dropped several octaves.
Perhaps, that circle of friends is the fiancée mentioned.
"Impossible!" Xia Qi said categorically, "Don't be fooled, that is his universal template for rejecting others. Let me tell you, Qiao Min said that he has rejected a battalion of people like this."
Li Xinghe: "..."
"It's not a template," he tried to make her understand, "he even sent a circle of friends that day."
Xia Qi didn't allow anyone to dismantle her cp, including the master himself, she immediately took out her mobile phone, "Which circle of friends, why didn't I see his recent post?"
"It was just a few days ago..." Li Xinghe leaned over to look at her mobile phone.
She clicked on Zhao Qingbei's circle of friends, and swiped down twice to refresh.
Li Xinghe was stunned.
The latest news is not the one he saw, but earlier.
"What's the matter, did he delete it?" He frowned and asked.
Xia Qi said: "Not at all, are you hallucinating? Let me tell you, the ambiguous period is like this. I also had hallucinations last time. I thought my male god was married. I cried a lot that day. accommodation..."
Li Xinghe turned a deaf ear, picked up his mobile phone to find out what was going on, maybe Xia Qi's network is not good.
He opened Zhao Qingbei's circle of friends.
The second Xia Qi saw his screen, her voice stopped abruptly.
There is actually one more post on it than her mobile phone——
bz: [Like someone, but don't want him to know, what should I do? 】
Xia Qi covered her mouth and let out a scream from her throat uncontrollably, all the people in the front row turned their heads to look over.
