Chapter 169: Don't lose sight of me

Xie Qingcheng When she returned to Strange Rain Lane, Auntie Lai was coming out of the house to get something - she had a bamboo basket of Chenpi in the yard, which she brewed in hot water and drank before going to bed every night.

Seeing Xie Qingcheng so disoriented in front of the rainy alley, Li Miaoqing was startled and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xie? What's wrong with you?"

Xie Qingcheng was in a confused state of mind, but instinctively did not want her to see his current sorry state.

But Li Miaoqing had already stepped forward, eyeing him back and forth with nervousness and concern.

She was alarmed.

Her Xiao Xie's clothes were all wrinkled, the collar button was ripped off three or four, could not be buttoned up, the neck was piercing hickeys, the lips were bitten, still stained with blood.

What made her even more terrified was Xie Qingcheng's eyes.

Xie Qingcheng's eyes have always been cold and sharp, but at this moment, it seems like a damaged camera, not able to focus for a long time, and the orbits of those peach blossom eyes are even slightly wet and red, as if they have been crying.

Li Miaoqing was in a state of alarm, she was a woman of the world when she was young and could not understand what was going on when she saw this scene.

She said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Xie, you ...... you ......"

Xie Qingcheng said, "Auntie Lai, I am fine, I just walked on the road and accidentally fell ...... You take an early rest, I want to go home."

The most ridiculous thing about young people is that they think they can hide it from their elders who are over 100 years old.

Auntie Lai's beautiful eyes widened and went white, "But you're ......"

She wanted to ask more questions, but the words stopped immediately before they reached her lips.

She knew how strong Xie Qingcheng was, how serious he was about his face as a big man.

She didn't dare to ask him again, but her hands couldn't bear to let go of him, and the two of them stood like this in the small courtyard for a few moments, Li Miaoqing couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly reached out and hugged him.

Many, many years ago, she had a boyfriend, but when he found out that she was a courtesan, not only did he not want to go out with her anymore, but he also insulted her roughly, ignoring the fact that she had already gone straight, and then called her a whore afterward. She came to the police station as if she had lost her mind, and met Zhou Muying.

Zhou Muying looked back and forth at her several times, and first said nothing, but reached out and hugged her.

She hugged Xie Qingcheng now; she didn't know what had happened to him, but she remembered the comfort that a silent embrace could bring.

She kept patting his back and said with a sobbing voice, "Good boy, Xiao Xie, it's okay, it's okay ......"

Xie Qingcheng said hoarsely, "...... I want to go home ......"

"......"

"Auntie Lai, I want to go home ......"

Li Miaoqing wiped her tears, not knowing how to comfort him, but finally let go of him, and looked at him worriedly as he wearily entered the house.

.

This night, Li Miaoqing sat in her house, listening to the movement next door, carefully recalling the many things that had happened before - she was no fool, Xie Qingcheng's coat button, and the hickey on the side of his neck, the blood on his mouth... ...all would never be left by a female.

She thought about it for a long time, and gradually a person came into her head.

That is a teenager, New Year's Eve home not to return, must rely on Xie Qingcheng side, the teenager was in the long table feast looked very good, all the neighbors are eager to introduce him to the object, he smiled one by one politely refused, but seemingly without glancing at the Xie Qingcheng a glance.

Later, Li Ruoqiu came back, the teenager also stopped eating, followed to the door of Xie Qingcheng's house, afraid of what would happen inside, waiting.

That night, the teenager slept at Xie Qingcheng's house.

Li Miaoqing realized at this point that the sounds of arguing and smashing things that he had heard on the night of New Year's Eve were not the sounds of some movie that they had later ghosted.

She had also heard the creaking of the bed and the thumping of the walls that night, and she hadn't even thought much of it at the time, even thought she was dreaming, but now it seemed that it wasn't a hallucination on her part at all.

And the next morning, she saw Xie Qingcheng and the teenager pulling and entangling in front of the house, and as soon as he saw her coming, the teenager, as if he wanted to cover up something, suddenly took off his scarf and blocked Xie Qingcheng's neck ......

Li Miaoqing was so enlightened that the teacup she was holding in her hand fell down, smashing into pieces on the ground.

No wonder Xie Qingcheng didn't even bother to go on a blind date when she asked him to do it again, he kept putting it off, so it turns out that he and the kid--

Ridiculous ...... This is ridiculous ......

Xie Qingcheng is a very strong man, he will not shed tears easily. But Li Miaoqing couldn't help herself, she raised her hand and covered her mouth, letting out an uncontrollable sob as tears came to her eyes.

How could Xiao Xie be so unintelligent ...... That is a rich second generation who is not even twenty years old, and at first glance, he is a playboy, that kind of boy, how could he use any sincerity to people, how could he take care of people? What kind of head is he ...... fainting! To be entangled with a boy like that!

Li Miaoqing closed her eyes and tears kept falling.

And in a wall away from the place, Xie Qingcheng closed clothes lying in bed, he obviously never and He Yu started, also can not talk about what break up. Who knows that this is not a breakup of separation, will be more hurtful than the real separation between lovers and couples.

He woodenly suppressed his emotions and raised his hand to turn on the bedside lamp.

It was a lamp that mimicked undersea light, with hazy jellyfish projections in the light.

Xie Qingcheng has been lying alone in this light all night, and the cell phone he keeps by his pillow is always on, with the monitoring data from He Yu's mood bracelet on it.

He's clearly having a breakdown himself, yet he still remembers to keep an eye on He Yu's stats, lest He Yu's spirit can't hold it up and he continues to lose control, sliding into a rampage.

Thankfully not.

The bracelet number spiked red for a while, but still came down. Xie Qingcheng knows that he is probably taking drugs, but he can not go to help him this time ...... This is He Yu must rely on their own to step over the hurdle, and he can only watch him cross over from no one.

A whole night of undersea solitude, a whole night of orange and red monitoring light flashes.

Xie Qingcheng just lay broken on the bed with his eyes open, as if he had thought a lot, and as if he had thought nothing more.

Until dawn.

Li Miaoqing got up early in the morning and put an ice pack on her swollen eyes.

She thought well, she did not go to ask Xie Qingcheng anything more, sprinkling salt on people's wounds was the worst thing to do. What she should do now was to take good care of him.

Xie Qingcheng has never loved to talk to anyone about his heart, and every time he encounters something, he closes the door and digests it by himself, probably because he has digested too much bitterness, and his appetite is not very good.

When he lost his appetite, the only thing he could manage to eat was small wontons in chicken soup cooked by Li Miaoqing, or simple homemade Shanghainese rice with green vegetables.

Li Miaoqing is carrying a basket of vegetables, ready to catch the earliest batch of wonton skins, meat fillings, and the freshest Shanghai green at the market.

As a result, she just bypassed the small plastic foam box vegetable garden in front of Uncle Liu's house and walked to the entrance of the alley, and then she saw that - that brazen, shameless, don't know what has happened to Xie Qingcheng's playboy, shameless little brat, just like that, sitting at the edge of the road teeth outside the alley, hugging his knees, his eyes red.

When he saw someone coming out of the alley, He Yu immediately got up, leaning forward and swaying slightly, but when he saw that the person was not Xie Qingcheng, his expression quickly dropped, wilting like a frosted eggplant.

This further confirmed Li Miaoqing's suspicions.

She was so angry that she took an arrow step forward and swung her basket of vegetables over the head of this eggplant, a woman in a flowered nightgown on the street at 5:30 a.m. who had no qualms about beating up a hungover teenager. She cursed as she beat him, "You still have the face to come here? You have the face to come here!"

He Yu was stunned, he pumped the tip of his reddened nose and let the older woman beat herself, only asking, "Auntie, you ...... how do you know ...... did he... . did he tell you everything?!"

Li Miaoqing was so angry that she was on the verge of high blood pressure.

See what he says!

What a no-brainer! Her guesses were all right! It's this homosexual animal!

She threw the basket of vegetables, pointed at He Yu's nose and cursed: "I don't need him to talk to me? I watched him come back yesterday, do you think I can't guess? I've been hanging out in a messy dance hall since before your son was born, what couldn't I guess? What? Tell me yourself what you did last night! You have the nerve to come to him!"

She cursed and pushed He Yu again, "What kind of son of a bitch are you? What kind of son of a bitch are you? At his age, you still want to pick him up and play with him, and then force yourself on him and dump him, so that you can go out and brag about it with your friends, right?"

Li Miaoqing, after all, is a courtesan, and her brainchild is a completely different story.

The more she scolded, the more she was hurt, lifting up her slippers and kicking at He Yu: "What are you playing at? He is the one you should be playing with? You such ...... a person like you want what lover have no, you want to come to provoke him! His mom still has a face now! How dare you come to him!!!"

He Yu is also smart and quickly realized what the situation is like on Li Miaoqing's side.

He let her hit him without a word, and the woman punched and kicked without really showing much mercy, and when it was easily slowed down, she pooh-poohed and spat out of her mouth the hair she had inadvertently eaten that had drifted out in front of her, and then glared at him with a gasp.

"You go ...... you hurry!"

He Yu didn't utter a word until this time, and he said with red eyes, "Auntie, I just want to ask how he is now ...... I said yesterday ...... I said yesterday... ..."

"He's not dead!" Li Miaoqing interrupted him with a sharp, angry voice, "He's not dead! You still have the face to mention what happened yesterday, do you want me to drag you to the police station, ah?!"

"......" He Yu knew she had misunderstood.

But he didn't want to refute it.

Yesterday, if he had not seen the tears at the end of Xie Qingcheng's eyes, would he have done anything worse than beastly things under the stupor and sadness? --- He did not know.

And he also remembered that he had indeed done something worse than a beast in Li Miaoqing's mouth in the clubhouse. Even though nothing like that had happened yesterday, who was he to argue against it?

"Why are you still standing? Get out of here right now! If you do not go, he does not call the police, I will fucking call the police I tell you! Bunny brat ...... at first also led you home to eat New Year's Eve dinner, really farmers and snakes ...... you ...... you ...... old mother I'm used to seeing your kind of playboy little brats." Li Miaoqing more and more angry, just the road is less people, almost no one passes by, she cursed more and more unbridled, she pointed at He Yu scolded, "Lao miang - used to seeing you these playboys! You just know how to play with people's hearts!"

"Aunty, I didn't try to play him ......"

"And you have the nerve to say you didn't play? ...... well ...... well! You say, you New Year's Eve sitting at the mouth of our alley, do you have an early intention, playing the underhanded attention, deliberately let him down, must bring you back?"

"......" He Yu's lips trembled, but he couldn't argue, "It's ......"

Li Miaoqing is even more angry.

"Did you see how good-looking he was and couldn't let go of him in your heart, so you've long wanted to chase him and mess with him, to pester him and force him to be good to you?"

He Yu said softly, "...... Yes."

Li Miaoqing The body is shaking: "Then you say - that night, New Year's Eve that night, you are not taking advantage of the small Xie his ex-wife back, he is difficult in the heart, you in the New Year's Eve that night ...... you ...... you lured him, you coaxed him ...... you ...... you took advantage of the fire, you coaxed him to lose to you that night, you bullied him for a whole night, didn't you! "

He Yu Lips trembling, but can not argue, "...... is ...... but ......"

"Nothing but!" Li Miaoqing was so angry that she slapped him, "Bastard! Simon Qing is not such an animal as you! Open your eyes! He's a man! He's your senior! How dare you lay your hands on him! What's wrong with you? You're not a man!!!"

He Yu doesn't want to explain anything.

He just mumbled, "I ...... I want to see him again ...... okay? Is he, is he okay?"

"What are you looking at? He's best off without you! He's better off without seeing you!" Li Miaoqing said in a harsh voice, "Get back now, you get out of my way! I'm his godmother! I'll take good care of him, and I don't want you to continue to play with him and humiliate him! What's the matter? You've humiliated him, and you're sorry you didn't have enough fun, so you're going to try to make up for it?"

He Yu has been wronged to the core.

When did he ever give up on Xie Qingcheng?

How dare you call Xie Qingcheng when he comes?

But Li Miaoqing was so angry, with both eyes spitting fire, that He Yu didn't know how to calm her down and explain to her how it all happened.

In fact, his own heart has been broken to pieces, relying only on a little bit of protective desire for Xie Qingcheng, insisting on doing what Xie Qingcheng asked him to do when he left - to calm himself down and not to be manipulated by the disease.

It was with this one sentence that he was able to hold on and still stand in front of Li Miaoqing like a normal person.

Li Miaoqing's eyebrows rose angrily and went straight into his temples, "Are you still not fucking leaving?"

He Yu opened his mouth, finally said nothing more, he was silent for a while, red eyes to Li Miaoqing said: "Auntie ...... then you ...... take good care of him ... ...If ...... if he needs me, if he needs anything, you contact me, okay? I'll give you my number ......"

He didn't care how Li Miaoqing reacted, this was his last line.

He gave her his number hard, then turned his head and left, very tired and forlorn.
