I'm not what I was yesterday
"How did you know I was here?"
Inside the private room, He Yu poured a glass of red wine for himself and a glass for Xie Qingcheng, signaling the woman beside him to pass it to Xie Qingcheng.
Xie Qingcheng didn't want it.
He Yu folded his fingers and looked at him quietly.
A moment later, he said, "Dr. Xie. In fact, if you really want to talk to me, this glass of wine, you better drink it."
Xie Qingcheng suppressed his complicated emotions, stood and looked down at him, trying his best to maintain his composure: "He Yu , you should go back."
"Don't say that, if you don't know, you'll think you're someone I am." He Yu laughed, and the enchanting woman beside him lit another cigarette, which He Yu actually took this time.
His almond eyes stared unblinkingly at Xie Qingcheng, slightly loosened his mouth, took in the cigarette filter, slowly and deeply inhaled, and then gracefully exhaled.
The green smoke dispersed.
He Yu does smoke, he sometimes smiles and whispers at social gatherings in order to blend into the atmosphere. He just doesn't like it and never touches it in private.
Therefore, before today, Xie Qingcheng never knew that He Yu was obviously a person who loathed smoking the most, but his posture with a cigarette could be very relaxed and even skillful.
"Pass one to Dr. Shea, too."
The woman complied and lit the cigarette again, bringing it to Xie Qingcheng.
Xie Qingcheng didn't answer, "I don't smoke."
He Yu all of a sudden laughed, clamped the cigarette of the hand against the forehead: "My God ...... Dr. Xie you this person, indeed is hypocritical enough, how did I not know before."
Xie Qingcheng said, "There are a lot of things you don't know, you go back with me first, and I'll tell you whatever you want to ask, as long as I can."
He Yu heard Xie Qingcheng say this and finally went from lazily reclining to lazily sitting. He sat up, resting his elbows back on the back of the sofa before nodding with a slight sigh.
"Yes, what I don't know is a lot." A pair of canine almond eyes lifted, but at the moment, his eyes were cold, rather like a wolf.
"e.g. ......"
"For example, why you suddenly didn't want to remain in the hospital before, or why you suddenly avoided me like a snake and a beast ......"
He paused, still not planning to tell Xie Qingcheng about Xie Xue, and the contract.
That alone is enough, why involve more and add to your own stupidity.
"Xie Qingcheng--" He Yu's eyes rose, and he looked coldly at the man, word by word, every inch of his words crumbling between his molars, "I was, indeed, unaware of all these things. "
Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, "...... Is that why you ran to this kind of discus cave to degrade yourself?"
The girls of Pancake: "......"
He Yu smiled a little more obviously, which made his tiger's teeth, which were usually not exposed, show up, and his originally gentle face suddenly looked a little sinister due to this subtle change.
"Dr. Xie, first of all, this place is a positive business student, pornography, gambling and drugs do not stain, people waiter looks beautiful service thoughtful in the way of what you do. I 100,000 dollars to open a bottle of wine I always do not want a group of crooked dates to serve."
"Second--Xie Qingcheng, may I ask why you always lift yourself up like this?"
"......"
"Who are you considered to be, and am I still under your influence where I go and what I do?"
The smile suddenly converged, leaving only a side of sunken clouds.
"Prof. Xie, I know that older people like to take the end, plus you as a professor is good, the students are less likely to chase and hold you, inevitably let you flutter, wherever you go are used to take themselves seriously. Middle-aged people have this problem I can understand - but to be clear, I do things just because I'm happy."
He Yu lightly lit the body of the cigarette, dusted off the ash, and leaned back, the hand that wasn't holding the cigarette spread out, resting against the back of the sofa.
"Not half as much as you."
It was only then that Xie Qingcheng realized that there was blood in his eyes, and the color of his lips was somewhat abnormal and sickly. This was even worse than He Yu's previous serious illnesses, he felt a jolt in his heart and subconsciously wanted to probe the heat of He Yu's forehead.
He Yu was often in a state of high fever when he had an attack, and Xie Qingcheng was more familiar with his illness than anyone else, so he was accustomed to such actions.
But his wrist snapped into He Yu's grip.
He Yu didn't look like he was exerting any force, but with his five fingers closed and not moving, the force was actually too great to be denied, "Uh-huh. Let's talk this over, don't get physical."
He looked at Xie Qingcheng from behind his wrist.
"I don't think I've ever been close enough to you that you could just touch me if you wanted to."
After he said this, he could feel Xie Qingcheng's strength gradually loosening, and the light in his eyes gradually darkening.
After a moment of stalemate, He Yu loosened his fingers and Xie Qingcheng dropped his hand.
"...... He Yu. whether you believe it or not." After a long time Xie Qingcheng sidestepped his face, avoiding He Yu's arguably grim gaze, and said, "I wasn't talking about you when I said those words ...... in the first place. I did not refer to you."
"Which words?" He Yu prided himself on inclining his head in confusion, then grinned, "Oh -- 'It's not worth dying for a sick person, and it's even more unjust to the point of being ridiculous to be murdered by a psychopath.' --Well said, the words make sense, and why do you need to explain yourself any further?"
He looked around the room and said lightly, "Are any of us here psychopaths? Shouldn't people like that be locked up, locked in cages, buckled in restraints, given electric shocks, drugged, and if necessary, just knifed and sliced through certain nerves in their heads, so how can they be free to breathe in the fresh air. Don't you think so."
Xie Qingcheng did not reply, there were too many bystanders standing in this private room, and He Yu's status as a psychopath was actually a secret that not many people knew. It was really inconvenient for him to say anything more in front of everyone.
He was silent for a moment, raised his peachy eyes, and asked him, "Can you let these people out first?"
"Why."
"There's something I want to say to you alone."
He Yu smiled, "It's not necessary."
"......"
"Dr. Hsieh, such things as preaching should be dispensed with. You have so many students waiting for you to expound the truth with them, why do you have to commit it on me? I am nothing special to you either. You're the same to me. That's fine, I don't want to complicate this relationship any further."
"......"
"If there's nothing else, you can go."
With Xie Qingcheng's temper, he must have severely criticized him and ordered him to listen to his orders.
But Xie Qingcheng is now at a disadvantage in front of He Yu.
Xie Qingcheng finally just said, "...... What do you have to do to go back. Neither of your parents would want to see you like you are now."
It was fine if he didn't mention He Jiwei and Lv Zhishu, but when he did, He Yu's mood became even darker.
He stared at Xie Qingcheng's face.
After all that, it still circles back to his parents.
He Yu thought of the messages sent by Xie Qingcheng and He Jiwei, which were much more real than when he was talking to himself. Perhaps in his heart, only He Jiwei was his equal.
Then there was the day she left her job, when she had laid down her dignity and was so wretched that she had even tried to hold the man's feet to the fire with her pocket money.
Because he felt that as soon as Xie Qingcheng was gone, Xie Xue would also be gone, and he would fall back into a terrible loneliness that he couldn't relax.
He said to Xie Qingcheng at that time, I have a lot of pocket money, I can ......
But Xie Qingcheng interrupted him.
Then he told him a bunch of grandiose arguments, and told him that his employer was first and foremost He Jiwei, and that you, He Yu, couldn't possibly afford to hire me, and that this dispensable money would be better saved to buy some cake and find some happiness.
In fact, He Yu should have known that in Xie Qingcheng's eyes, he was always just He Jiwei's son, and if it wasn't for his father, Xie Qingcheng probably wouldn't have even cared about him.
This thought made He Yu's already cold heart even closer to madness.
But his face remained light.
He scrutinized Xie Qingcheng for a long time, thinking about He Jiwei, thinking about the Canton Tower, thinking about Xie Xue, thinking about the sincerity ...... that he had never received He hated Xie Qingcheng in his heart.
He wanted to tear him apart.
He Yu thought so, sizing him up as he slowly finished the wine in his glass, and he raised his hand to pour himself another glass.
Suddenly, the cup in front of Xie Qingcheng is still full.
He Yu couldn't help but get even more annoyed and sneered, "Dr. Xie really doesn't know the rules, how can anyone come to apologize and first take someone's parents and press them, but not even accompany them with a drink. Keeping this, are you trying to raise fish?"
With that, he took another empty glass and casually copied an already opened bottle of wine and poured it full.
"Sit down, now that you're here, sit with me and drink for a while. Drink it all."
"......"
"Dr. Shea you don't smoke, does that mean you don't drink either?"
Xie Qingcheng knows he will not be dominant today.
Since He Yu said so, he didn't say anything and sat down on the sofa opposite He Yu.
"I drink and you leave, right?"
"I wonder if Dr. Hsieh would be willing to lay down his life to accompany a villain like me?"
The box was quiet, and everyone looked like they were affected by the aura around the two of them, not daring to breathe.
In the heart-stopping silence, Xie Qingcheng's hand reached out into the unseen storm of bloodshed. He took the tall wine glass that was resting on the marble table and moved it in front of him with a "clang".
In the swaying color of the wine, in the hazy light, Xie Qingcheng's eyes are as cold and hard as the water forming rock in the ice pool.
He raised the glass of dry red and drank it down. Then he picked up another glass of wine that He Yu had newly poured for him and drank it without blinking.
Spirits in the throat.
He Yu finally smiled again, "Good. Brother Xie is really good at drinking."
He tilted his head on one side, his eyes still fixed on Xie Qingcheng, but said to the woman next to him, "Fill him up again."
"......" The leader, however, turned pale.
Gathering her courage, she leaned over and whispered quietly in He Yu's ear.
He Yu was stunned, and his eyes swept over the bottle of wine he had just poured for Xie Qingcheng on the table.
"!"
59 Degrees of Plum ......?
He, he actually inadvertently poured this bottle of aphrodisiac wine ...... for Xie Qingcheng!
This wine He Yu originally intended to drink today's mood is not good to indulge in ...... even accidentally to Xie Qingcheng enriched down.
The wine--
He Yu suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xie Qingcheng, but he met the other party's calm and cold eyes.
The booze hadn't kicked in yet, and he was still unaware of it.
But He Yu knew that Xie Qingcheng would not be able to maintain his sobriety for much longer.
"Smells, at first taste, like a very high class flavor, but when you drink it, it's lowly and frivolous ......"
The words the friend, who was half-drunk at the time, whispered in his ear, surfaced again.
How could he make such a stupid mistake.
How did he not see it when he just poured the wine?
Heart rhythms raced wildly at breakneck speeds.
Cold sweat coming down.
But then, in a silence that lasted dozens of seconds, He Yu's heart went from stunned, to calm, and from calm, to frantic-
He quickly realized that the mistake had been made, did he still have to rush Xie Qingcheng to the hospital?
He could never do it.
Besides, it's useless to drink this wine and send it to the hospital, it's just an aphrodisiac, it's not poisonous.
Without making a sound, he stared at Xie Qingcheng.
Staring at his well-dressed and suited figure, at his serious and self-possessed, very majestic face.
And then - suddenly, because of this unintentional coincidence, there was an idea that abruptly sprang up in He Yu's frantic heart, and then burned out all at once ......
Is this perhaps ...... a providential arrangement?
It's karma--
This is Xie Qingcheng s retribution ......! He brought this upon himself, and the heavens could not bear to see his hypocrisy, hence the coincidence.
Xie Qingcheng is a human being, is a human being will have desire, desire is full and can not be sought, will be in a terrible state, kneeling and begging for alms.
He Yu stared at him silently, and he suddenly wondered what kind of scene Xie Qingcheng would be like if his heart was burned by wine and he knelt in front of him, incoherent, with a deep desire and a loss of decorum.
Xie Qingcheng had finished his drink and put down his glass, "Is this enough?"
"......" He Yu did not answer; that thought of his was still lulling and tempting him, but as the previous drink had been inadvertent and not intentional, he hesitated for a moment.
Xie Qingcheng said, "If it's not enough I'll drink with you again."
"I can drink until you're satisfied and willing to go. As long as you don't degrade yourself tonight, as long as you don't fuck around."
"......" He Yu stared in shock for a moment and raised his eyes, "Why."
Xie Qingcheng told him word for word, "Because it was my fault, it was my mistake, it should not be you who pays the price."
In the midst of the chaos, He Yu's heart was violently touched, just as it had been when Xie Qingcheng had first told him that mental patients should be treated equally.
But he then felt angry.
He was angry with himself; why, when things had come to this, was he still swayed by this man's trifling words?
The extreme anger instead spawned ruthlessness.
He Yu, who was still hesitant a moment ago, has finally decided on the evil in his heart at this moment.
He Yu slowly leaned back, fully, against the back of the couch and sighed softly, "Look, Xie ...... you're coaxing me again."
"......"
The sudden change of name seemed to give Xie Qingcheng some hope.
Xie Qingcheng looked at him.
He Yu supported the side of his face, still sighing, "...... But how come I'm still willing to be coaxed by you."
"He Yu ......"
"...... Shea, tell me, do you mean everything you said to me this time?"
Xie Qingcheng stared at him, his heart a little hard for some reason, and he said, "It's true."
He Yu gazed at him quietly for a long while, and his face actually showed the same look as the young dragon at that time, "Then you won't lie to me?"
"I won't lie to you."
"Let's pull a hook then."
He Yu slowly leaned forward as he spoke childishly, as if he was drunk as well.
Just at the moment when Xie Qingcheng's tail finger was extended, He Yu suddenly changed the action of pulling the hook to opening his whole hand and piercing through-
Ice cold--
Touching on Xie Qingcheng's handsome face.
He looked at him with a playful smile, and the purity of the young dragon, right under Xie Qingcheng s nose, gradually, all of it turned into the eeriness of an evil dragon.
"Naive, Xie Qingcheng. do you really want to hook up with me?"
"Unfortunately this time, it's me who's lying to you."
"And how can I trust you so easily again."
"......"
"You hurt me so much."
Xie Qingcheng's eyes had a little bright light, but at this moment it was dimmed again.
A long tens of seconds of silence.
The teenager looked at the fire extinguished in the man's eyes.
"Let's do it this way." He Yu thought about it and said.
He sat up straight again, didn't move and drew that 59 degree plum, signaled the luscious woman to take the empty glass, personally filled it most of the way, and handed it over to Xie Qingcheng's side.
The leader was alarmed--
She thought that He Yu would not give this man a bottle of strong liquor after knowing that, it was hard enough to end the situation with the dose just now, how could she expect that He Yu would simply pour another full glass this time?
"Seeing you like this, I am also a little touched." He Yu lightly said, "I can give you another chance, only you have to let me see your sincerity."
The first cup was poured by mistake.
This second cup, he had to coax Xie Qingcheng to drink it willingly.
"I don't ask for much, you'll continue drinking for a few more rounds. Drink until I'm satisfied, then I'll go back with you. ...... I won't force you, but if you really start caring about me, it's not like you're unwilling to agree to even this little thing." He Yu raised his eyes, "Do you think it's okay?"
Xie Qingcheng looked at him without a word, and after a moment, he once again picked up the glass of wine He Yu had given him.
"As long as you go back. I'll drink."
He Yu watched the way he tilted his head, the knot in his throat swallowing and rolling. A smoldering resentment burned through the slightly drunken mood.
...... Drink it. Drink it all.
That's a lot of booze and karma.
Retribution.
He Yu thought so again.
He would see all his ugly desires, see him lose his temper in front of women, agonizing over them, but begging for more.
That's called real karma.
Call it a loss of face.
The waiters in the room were out of breath.
They could see that Mr. He was intent on screwing the man in front of him, and he bam, he poured a 59 degree plum into a large red wine glass, and he was going to make the man in front of him drink the whole bottle.
Two of the women standing against the back looked horrified, tugged at the skirts of their ultra-short dresses at each other, and whispered, "What to do."
"What else can I do, but stand with them."
"I'm so worried that something will happen, this wine last time a boss slightly more drunk, he brought that mistress is about to be tossed to death, a moment in case Mr. He let us accompany him what to do ah ......"
"It's okay, it's okay, that, that can also be refused, we are here originally just to entertain a drink, the other that is a private matter that you and I would like to do ...... Even if Mr. He He can't possibly force us to ...... "
"But ......"
The two of them were slightly loud, was heard by the front leader, the leader glared back at them warningly, the two girls immediately did not dare to make a sound, lowered their heads, each heart is straight drums.
The third cup has gone down.
Xie Qingcheng's face flushed a thin red and his eyes were slightly messy. But he hadn't realized that the wine was off, and just looked at the boy in front of him.
He raised his hand to support his forehead, with some wine on the head of the nasal voice: "...... He Yu, it's almost time, you stop fooling around, go home with me."
He Yu's voice became soft, no longer as cold as when he first met Xie Qingcheng.
He filled another full glass for Xie Qingcheng and pushed it over, compelling him, "Yes, of course I will go back with you. You are so prestigious, I will listen to ...... all your words Come on, Xie, have another drink, this cup goes down, the whole bottle is almost finished, don t waste it."
Xie Qingcheng leaned on the sofa, his eyes were already bloodshot, his peach blossom eyes were a little wet from the wine, and his face was also a little red. But he was still in a straight suit and his shirt was tightly buttoned, without any intention of overstepping his bounds.
He drank his fourth glass of wine.
But this wine are filled almost, Xie Qingcheng but still self-control is very good, did not even look at those gorgeous women a glance.
It seems that after pretending for a long time, there are always a few moments of acting real, isn't it?
"......" He Yu is silent.
There was some displeasure, some annoyance.
He thought that maybe Xie Qingcheng had been single for too long and he should give Xie Qingcheng a little catalyst.
He then raised his eyes and glanced at the two women standing next to Xie Qingcheng.
Those two sisters were glazed over and instantly understood what to do, one smiling and picking up a glass of wine, the other going around the back of the sofa and sitting down softly, to lean towards Xie Qingcheng's side.
"Handsome ......"
"I heard Mr. He call you Brother Xie, how about I call you that too?" The woman's body is very soft, softly lifting her face to Xie Qingcheng's ear side of the breath like orchids, pointing the cardamom hand close to Xie Qingcheng's broad chest, fingertips touched the strict buttons he fastened, very ascetic meaning of the shirt buttons.
Men's shirt buttons, in and of themselves, are designed in such a way as to make it easy for others to undo them.
The girl saw Xie Qingcheng face handsome, very manly temperament, teasing with a few points of genuine love: "Brother Xie, why don't I come back to accompany you to have a drink ......"
"Splat."
The woman had a jolt.
Her slender wrist was tightly clutched by Xie Qingcheng.
Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, his eyes actually had a few moments of clarity in them, and he shook her off, "Go down."
Woman: "......"
"Go down. Don't give your face away."
The woman's face flushed green for a while, and finally looked at He Yu with some embarrassment, wondering what Mr. He's reaction would be.
And then she saw He Yu's eyes, which could be described as terrifying.
He Yu leaned against the sofa, one elbow spread against the back of the sofa, the other hand holding a glass of wine, the young man's slender legs framed as he kept staring at the man across from himself.
His eyes are cold, and he Yu has finally stopped pretending.
His gaze was frozen into ice, with frost running through it.
"You ......" Xie Qingcheng had a terrible headache, and his body was flushed with a terrible burning heat, "Are you leaving or not... ..."
He Yu sighed softly, "You can't say more than a couple of soft words before you're huffing and puffing again. Brother Xie, you are truly a heartless thing."
There was a pause, but a cold, dangerous smile broke out at the corner of his lips--
"Hmm. I'd go with you, but are you, now, still going?"
"......"
Xie Qingcheng lifted his eyes inch by inch, and they all looked like they were burning.
He finally felt that something was wrong, the force of the 59 dolomites had begun to madly rush into his limbs and bones. Xie Qingcheng gasped, his body had a visible reaction of alcohol intolerance, right under He Yu's eyes, Xie Qingcheng's originally pale skin flushed with some abnormal thin red, like rouge frozen in an ice ink stone on a snowy day, the color of alcohol seemed to seep into his bones.
"You the wine ......"
"It's a bit expensive." He Yu said gently, "But it's good wine."
"...... you ......!"
"Dr. Xie has been so kind to me, of course I have to treat you well. Isn't that right?"
Xie Qingcheng Suddenly stood up, how could he not believe that He Yu could do this, anger burned on his always suppressed heart, he swept the wine marquee on the coffee table, and the bottle ping pong broke all over the place.
He stepped across the coffee table and choked He Yu's lapel, "Are you fucking crazy? You actually ...... He Yu ...... you actually ......"
"I actually?"
Xie Qingcheng was so angry that his voice was trembling, even if he was guilty, he was still angry and red-eyed when he encountered this kind of thing done by a psychopath: "You dare to drug me--!"
