Chapter 88 Waiting For You

The only case of beer left in Gui Weiming's shop was wiped out before midnight.

Cheng Zijun, who was already drunk, was lying on the dining table with messy cups and plates, his head was tilted and his face was flushed, and he was still drunkenly pointing at Qi Yu with one hand: "Yuzi, you sometimes... Indeed, hiccup , it's too much!"

"My friend... for so many years! If I don't look for you, you just ignore me!" Cheng Zijun was particularly aggrieved, "You... tell me how many times you have taken the initiative to look for me! Hmph, fortunately, I am sweet and sweet The young ladies and sisters posted..."

Qi Yu patted his hand and gave him a dead eye: "Then the ghost asked you to drink today."

"Hey, hey," Cheng Zijun smirked, and changed his voice, "But you've...better recently! Could this be...the magic power of love? Hiccup!"

Qi Yu didn't want to talk to the drunk anymore, so he propped his forehead with one hand to look at his phone, but the corners of his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were already red with the smell of alcohol.

"That's right!" Cheng Zijun slapped the table suddenly, as if remembering something, pointed at Qi Yu and yelled, "Yuzai! We agreed to have a party! Call my sister-in-law! Together! Let's go to the highest spinner Restaurant parties! Pool parties! Yay!"

Qi Yu was so noisy that his temples started to hum and hurt, he threw away the phone that didn't have any new news notifications, and coldly covered Cheng Zijun's slapped face with a hand wipe: "Go, when the time comes, you Wash your brains in the pool."

But he didn't notice that the mobile phone that he threw to the corner of the table suddenly vibrated at this moment.

Gui Weiming was the most sober one in the audience, and this amount of alcohol was enough to moisten his throat.He smiled and listened to the two young men's cross-frequency nonsense, and when Cheng Zijun thought he was really drowning and couldn't breathe and began to thump on the bench, he pulled off the wet towel and picked him up.

"Let's go, I'll take this kid back upstairs to sleep, I still have a spare room." Then he opened the shutter door, carried the drunk Cheng Zijun on his shoulders, and turned to confirm with Qi Yu, "Go back by yourself OK?"

The young man who walked out of the shop behind him stood upright and looked quite normal, but he answered a little too late: "Yes."

"You boy!" Gui Weiming smiled, "Be careful and go back, don't knock into the corridor."

"Ah."

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the village in the city, which was bustling during the day, gradually returned to silence.Qi Yu crossed the street in two steps, and walked into the dark corridor again.

The old building has been in disrepair for a long time, and the floor lights are still old-fashioned sensor bulbs. They need someone to make a sound or step harder to light up slowly.

Qi Yu took one step at a time, and the pace of climbing the stairs was much slower than when he came home from get off work.It's as if the body is dragging the thoughts that suddenly become complicated and complicated, and it can't take care of it for a while, and even drags the pace slowly.

He was still thinking about what Gui Weiming said.

Before tonight, Qi Yu had never thought carefully about the obstacles between him and Zheng Haichuan.

As far as he is concerned, from admitting that he likes Zheng Haichuan to taking the initiative to confess to make Zheng Haichuan his object, Qi Yu feels that he has crossed a big gap.This was completely an accident that broke his living habits and life plan. Although he was a little impulsive, Qi Yu never regretted it.

Because he reported too many expectations, he selectively ignored the gravel and hidden rocks below the gap, and forgot that the rushing rivers, seas, mountains and rivers did not intersect with the asphalt road.

He thought that by changing his role, he could easily solve the difficulties and constraints in life for Zheng Haichuan, but he ignored that besides the role of lover, that fool is also an honest fool who has always relied on his own ability to support his family.

Zheng Haichuan is not used to relying on him, and he obviously hasn't learned how to like people correctly.

There was boundless silence in the corridor in the early morning, only the sound of gloomy footsteps echoed through the corridor.

——'You can never really know a person unless you walk around in his shoes. '

Such a passage suddenly flashed through Qi Yu's confused mind.

It was a novel he flipped through when he was on a plane.It is a work recommended and praised by many people, but after reading it, Qi Yu found it not very interesting, and quickly left it behind.Thinking back on it now, the content inside was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart——

'You never really know a man until you walk around in his shoes.But really, when you walked his way, you felt sad even passing by. '

With the sound of footsteps, Qi Yu suddenly remembered that the last time he opened the door at such a night, he saw a face with blue nose and swollen eyes.The owner of that face was in a state of embarrassment, but still tried to smirk at him.

Qi Yu suddenly felt a little out of breath.

He just... did something stupid.

despair.

After staying on the second floor for too long, the lights in the corridor went on and off.

Qi Yu stopped at the corner for a long while, grabbing his collar, until he restrained the urge to beat himself up for losing his temper a few days ago, before continuing to walk towards the third floor.

All the things that happened in this building when he was young are still vivid in his mind, but when did he become the kind of person he hates the most?

When old man Qi was the most proud, he brought home a lot of rent every month, and with a wave of his big hand, he let the two of them go out to buy food, clothes, and clothes, but he turned around and hung out with his poker friends On the hemp table.Qi Yu remembered that at that time, Grandma always collected the money quietly, and said with a smile that she would save it for him to study, but when she turned around, she secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.

Qi Yu hated this kind of bastard the most in his life, but looking back now, what is the difference between what he did and what old man Qi did?He thought, what Cheng Zi said was right, he was indeed going too far.

Qi Yu suddenly regretted, regretting that meaningless bet that he hadn't asked Zheng Haichuan how he was doing for so many days.Obviously he was the one who turned people to this road, and he himself has been entangled and bored for so long, that idiot is so stupid, will he wander into an unknown ditch by himself?

"Zheng Haichuan..."

Under the catalysis of alcohol, Qi Yu couldn't help calling out the name he had been thinking about for several days.

He thought, that idiot in his family won't be wiping tears at home these few days, right?

In the quiet corridor, the blurted whisper was not loud, but it still spread upwards along the iron railings and hollow gaps.

The sensor light on the third floor was not touched, but suddenly turned on a few seconds later.As the lights turned on, there was a doubtful "Huh?" came back from above.

Qi Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped in the middle of the corridor in a daze.

At this time, he was only seven steps away from the door of the house on the third floor, but on the top step, there was a figure squatting.Accompanied by the brief light that suddenly lit up in the dark space, Qi Yu saw the man rubbing his sleepy eyes, and then smiled at him with a simple and pleasant smile as usual.

"Doctor Li!"

At this moment, Qi Yu's heart thumped in his chest, like a sleepy prisoner looking at the warm sun again.

"Zheng..." His voice was hoarse, and his throat rolled several times before he called out the name dryly, "Zheng Haichuan, where are you sitting...what are you doing?"

The young man in the vest had just lifted his body from his knees and looked up at him. There were marks of fabric wrinkles on the left half of his face, and he didn't know how long he had been lying there.

"Wait for you." Qi Yu heard the young man's tone as a matter of course, "Dr. Lu, are you working overtime so late today?"

"How do you know I'm on the day shift?" Qi Yu felt his throat constricted even more, "What if I work the night shift, do you want to sit here all night?"

There was no wind in the corridor in Xia Ye, and it was very stuffy, not to mention the mosquitoes that were everywhere. Qi Yu could see several red and swollen bumps on the young man's arms and calves with a glance.

"How come, I'm not stupid!" Zheng Haichuan grinned, "I went to your hospital to inquire about it when I was off work. You are on the day shift today! But at that time, you were undergoing surgery and I came back first. Just now You didn't reply to the text messages, I'm a little sleepy after waiting for a long time..." He yawned as he spoke.

Zheng Haichuan went upstairs to find Mr. Lu after returning home. He didn't expect that he came out of Mr. Lu's house very late, put Xiao Hemiao to sleep after eating, and knocked on the door next door, but there was still no movement.So he simply squatted in the corridor and waited, so as not to miss Qi Yu's return home.

Zheng Haichuan thought that after a few days, Doctor Law should have calmed down a bit, so he decided to stop him today to apologize.Teacher Lu was right, both of them were wrong in this matter, he is a big man, Dr. Lu is his wife, of course he has to admit his mistake first.

When he was a child, his father had taught him that the most important thing for a man is to stand up outside, and it's okay to be cowardly in front of his mother-in-law at home, they are all from his own family.What's more, after being enlightened by Mr. Lu today, Zheng Haichuan felt that in the final analysis of this matter, he was too old and ruined Dr. Lu's good intentions.Now that they're in a relationship, it's okay if the wife treats him better and spends money on him. Isn't it all over when he spends it back later? !

After all, he was too stupid.

Zheng Haichuan didn't realize that he said no when he said he was not stupid, but it was Qi Yu who stepped up the steps in two steps after hearing what he said.Standing in front of Zheng Haichuan, Qi Yu stretched out his hand and put his hand on the left side of his face, which had funny marks from sleeping, and said in a low voice.

"Aren't you stupid?"

The man's thumb gently rubbed against the young man's cheek, surging with uncontrollable emotion.

"I would like to be with someone like me..."

"No one is more stupid than you."
