how can i not catch you

Chapter 34

"Wow, woof, woof—" On the path, a small dog ran for its owner at night.

Qiao Shu, who was walking in front, subconsciously stepped aside, and when the sound of the dog faded away, he stayed where he was.

Normally, he would also be walking with the stupid and cute rhubarb at home.But if he is called Rhubarb now, he won’t get a coquettish “woo woo” response, and he won’t see cute eyes, and he won’t have a chubby body playing tricks on the ground, and trying to please him when he’s pretending to be angry. She stuck out her big red tongue and licked the palm of his hand.

Feeling bitter in his heart, Qiao Shu walked to the bench by the roadside step by step with heavy steps and sat down.

He knew how much Ye Yicheng loved Rhubarb. Now that Rhubarb was lost, the only emotional sustenance between them was also lost. It was as if he had lost his heart. He was in a daze and didn't know how to explain to Ye Yicheng.

United Kingdom.

Ye Yicheng sat on the sofa and sipped a strong coffee, with an English business weekly on his lap to read, and a newly purchased air ticket was placed on the suitcase beside the sofa.

The place where he is now is Wu Jing's home, the room is simple black and white tones, but it is not unreasonable, but the weather outside the window is gloomy, and the sound of wind and rain is also loud, like the mournful wailing of a sad person.

"Brother Cheng, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Wu Jing walked out of her room, holding a notebook in her hand.

"Bad news." Ye Yicheng didn't even lift his head, he felt that nothing made him feel more bad than his marriage proposal being delayed.

Wu Jing was noncommittal to Ye Yicheng's indifferent attitude, she sat on the single sofa next to Ye Yicheng, and pointed the notebook at Ye Yicheng's face.

"The bad news is that the two of us are said to be adulterers and prostitutes."

Ye Yicheng raised his eyebrows, put down the coffee and books in his hands, took the notebook and put it on his lap, and browsed the web.

Wu Jing at the side watched his face turn from blue to black, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"The good news is that my aunt called me just now and told me to ignore it, she will take care of it herself." Wu Jing said.

"How is she going to deal with it?" Ye Yicheng raised his head and asked, Ye Mu didn't mention this matter to him but communicated with Wu Jing instead, is she trying to hide something from him?

After thinking for a while, Wu Jing shook her head and said, "I don't know, but your parents and my parents are much stronger than us, so it must be easier to solve this matter."

After thinking about it, Ye Yicheng was still worried. He took out his mobile phone and called home, but the housekeeper said that both father and mother were not at home.

"Where did they go...I know." Ye Yicheng hung up the phone and said to Wu Jing, "My parents are looking for your parents."

"Then leave it to them. Anyway, the media can't afford to make big waves, and we're not real adulterers and prostitutes. Don't worry about those disgusting people's remarks." Wu Jing got up to make a cup of coffee for herself. Yisheng turned his head and said again during the silence, with sly eyes, "But, if your little lover sees this, maybe he will misunderstand something."

Ye Yicheng sneered, "He has [-]% trust in me."

Wu Jing was holding a cup of mellow coffee, smiling and walking back to her room with a notebook in her hand.Heh, Ye Yicheng dared to say it.Trust him 100%, unless he is a loyal dog, people's hearts are rarely so firm, especially for people in love, sensibility often overrides reason.

"Then, congratulations on finding a true lover."

Ye Yicheng looked at Wu Jing's closed door, and felt agitated for no reason. He wished he could rush to Qiao Shu immediately and hug him in his arms, but a heavy rain separated the two of them thousands of miles away.

"Beep beep..." Ye Yicheng turned to Qiao Shu's phone and dialed it.

"Hi, Ye Yicheng." Qiao Shu's voice was exhausted.

Ye Yicheng suddenly came to his senses, looked at the time, it should be early in the morning in S city, he said guiltyly: "Little boy, are you asleep?"

"No." Qiao Shu was staring at the ceiling for a moment, sweating profusely.He just had a nightmare, dreaming that rhubarb's blood flowed all over the ground, soaking his shoes, but fortunately Ye Yicheng's phone call woke him up.

"I changed my flight to the noon tomorrow." Ye Yicheng said with a sigh of relief.

"Well, I saw your WeChat." Qiao Shu wiped off the sweat from his eyes, and his body also felt sticky.

"Little boy, do you miss me?" Ye Yicheng's voice was gentle, with a flattering tone.

"Yeah." Qiao Shu's ending sound was very short. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't talk about it.

"Hehe, okay, then I'll go back and find you." Ye Yicheng was satisfied when he heard his lover admit that he missed him. He believed that such a Qiao Shu would not doubt him.

"What time will you be at the airport?"

"At that time, it should be 9:47 p.m. in China. Why, do you want to pick me up?"

"I... have something important to tell you, but I have to work overtime tomorrow night, so I can't pick you up."

"I also have something important to tell you." Ye Yicheng frowned after hearing this, "Then let's make an appointment at the 24-hour western restaurant downstairs of your company."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Shu squeezed the phone tightly, his heart throbbing with pain. Tomorrow might mean a trial.He and Ye Yicheng didn't know if they could go on.

The next day, when it was time to get off work, colleagues around swiped their cards and walked out of the office.

"Teacher." Hua Yu walked up to Qiao Shu when he was almost gone.

Qiao Shu finished inputting a series of numbers on the computer, and finally waited until the settlement figures were calculated before looking up at Hua Yu, "What's wrong?"

"People from the police station asked you to take notes today." Hua Yu said cautiously, "Did you find the thief?"

Qiao Shu's fingers on the keyboard froze, and he shook his head.After taking notes today, the police station only said that this was a series of crimes. Several communities were also burglarized before, and there were not a few people who lost their things. They will definitely do their best to solve the case and recover the lost items as much as possible.As for the purebred golden retriever, the police said that the greatest possibility is that it was resold or cooked.

"It's okay, we have to trust the police. Besides, Rhubarb is so smart, nothing will happen." Hua Yu gave Qiao Shu courage.

Qiao Shu squeezed out a consoling smile, "I'm fine, you go back first, I have to work overtime tonight."

Hua Yu nodded after hesitating for a few seconds, and left the office with his briefcase.

At 9:10 p.m., Qiao Shu walked out of the office.We arrived at the agreed western restaurant and sat down.

At 10:10 p.m., Ye Yisheng hadn't attended the appointment yet, so the phone was turned off.

11:10 p.m.The third cup of coffee Qiao Shu ordered was completely cold.It was raining heavily outside the door, but there was still no familiar figure at the door.

"Hello, the user you dialed has shut down, SORRY..."

Qiao Shu put away his phone and was about to leave for the airport to have a look, when he heard behind him a pair of girls with suitcases who just took their seats talking about "Ye Yicheng".

"I just saw Su Moling's ex-boyfriend at the airport. He was surrounded by the crowd and his face was dark enough."

"It's called Ye Yicheng, he's really handsome."

"What's the use of being handsome, you're still a scumbag!"

"The entertainment circle is true and false. We are just spectators, but he seems to be a better match with that samurai daughter. I heard that the two have been engaged for a long time! They will get married soon!"

"Hey, isn't it that Su Moling is actually the mistress who meddles in other people's marriages!"

……

Water droplets kept dripping from the ends of her hair and the corners of her clothes, and the soaked leather shoes made abnormal noises.A man with a drooping head walked out of the elevator in a daze, with water marks behind him.

"Kuukou—" The wet, cold and trembling hands knocked on Huayu's door.The pale-faced Qiao Shu didn't enter his house because there was nothing there.

Hua Yu was in a daze inside the door. After receiving Lin Fan's call after 11 o'clock, he was so distraught that he couldn't sleep at all. He didn't expect to hear a knock on the door in the middle of the night. It must be an illusion.

"Kukou—" The voice was not loud, even weak.It's just that the knocker kept knocking on the door without knowing what he was obsessed with.

Hua Yu put on his pajama pants and got out of bed to look at Maoyan, only to find that the person standing outside the door was actually Qiao Shu.

"Teacher!" Hua Yu hurriedly opened the door. He looked at the wet Qiao Shu in panic and didn't know what to do. He could only pull him into the room and took a dry towel to wipe his hair.

Qiao Shu stood there blankly, letting Hua Yu dry his hair for him.

"Teacher, why are you so wet? If you don't have an umbrella, you can call a taxi." Seeing that Qiao Shu's hair was half dry, Hua Yu hurriedly searched in the closet, but he only had one pajamas, so he took a long-sleeved set. Give Qiao Shu a T-shirt and black shorts, "Hurry up and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold."

But Qiao Shu still stood there dumbfounded, but his body was shaking.

"Teacher, what happened?" Hua Yu was worried. He didn't want to guess why Qiao Shu knocked on his door in the middle of the night, but Qiao Shu must be sad right now.

A drop of water fell on Hua Yu's bare instep.

Hua Yu panicked, he hurriedly picked up Qiao Shu's face, only to realize that this man was actually crying.

The corners of the man's eyes were red, and from time to time a colorless liquid would slide down and burn his palms.

Qiao Shu pushed Hua Yu's hand away, and he wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously, but found that the tears seemed unstoppable.It's too embarrassing, but what to do, he can't control it.

Why did Ye Yicheng treat him like this!

"Teacher, don't cry." Hua Yu didn't know what to do, he would subconsciously push Qiao Shu away when he touched him, but he couldn't bear to watch Qiao Shu cry all the time, so he kept talking to comfort him.

"Ding—" The elevator stopped on the 16th floor.

After finally throwing off the spotlight, Ye Yicheng quickly rushed to the door of Qiao Shu's house, knocked on the door, "Qiao Shu, Qiao Shu, open the door..."

"Mr. Ye?" Hua Yu was suddenly relieved when he heard the voice outside the door.He subconsciously thought that the person who tied the bell had to be untied, so he stretched out his hand to open the door.

"No!" Qiao Shu exclaimed.

The door was still opened amidst the exclamation.

Wet Qiao Shu and Ye Yicheng looked at each other!

"You guys, what are you doing!"
