Chapter 28

Chi Chengye, an old friend he didn't want to see, looked at him directly: "How have you been recently?"

Qiu Xingci saw the smile on his lips and realized that he might have been teased.

He snorted and sneered in his heart, complaining that the dog man was still so childish and hateful.

On his face, Qiu Xingci put on a fake smile and said slowly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm doing very well."

"Exceptionally, extremely well."

After saying that, he asked: "What about you, you're okay. Right?"

Chi Chengye looked at him and suddenly sighed: "It's not good." Qiu Xingci was stunned for a moment. In this situation, EQ reminded him to be

considerate: "What's wrong?"

In front of him, Chi Chengye was not embarrassed at all and expressed his troubles: "I'm not sleeping very well."

"I've been missing my childhood a little lately. I always dream about when I was in school, and I always dream about Brother Xiaoci's face. "

Speaking of it, I miss him a little -

before he finished speaking, Qiu Xingci didn't dare to listen, for fear that he would say something arrogant that shouldn't be said, and he was so frightened that he immediately interrupted.

"Why are you talking about this during the holidays? You..."

Madman,

"We are not meeting now."

In front of the two old people, Qiu Xingci swallowed the sentence "Dog men have no shame".

Chi Chengye looked into his eyes calmly and said, "We have met so few times, it is inevitable to regret it."

Qiu Xingci looked at his handsome face a little nervously, and looked over the face as calmly as possible, with a joking tone. One page.

"Haha, you haven't grown up yet, and you're still a little naive."

Her cousin Jiang Shengli, who knew a little bit about the situation between them, was also frightened and helped smooth things over: "It's nothing, I often dreamed about myself when I was in junior high school. "Friends, we are all like this when we are under great pressure to study. I heard that you college students have to write papers and so on. Are you also very stressed?"

Chi Chengye didn't say anything. Qiu Xingci had already answered for him: "He must be." "I suffer from insomnia because of the pressure of study."

This kind of thing is very common among young people and is not new.

The old man who was sitting and eating melon seeds and listening to their chat had no doubt that he was there. He smiled and said, "When you study, just do your best and keep a normal mind. You don't need to be under so much pressure."

"How old are you, don't be too It’s rolled up.”

Qiu Xingci suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the trick was over.

The man sitting opposite him smiled and nodded gently and submissively, "I care too much. I will try to be more careful in the future."

After this, Qiu Xingci looked at Xiang Ming who was sitting on the sofa. Lovers are looking at a time bomb.

Chi Chengye quietly peeled open a sugar orange and handed it over in several pieces. Qiu Xingci didn't even dare to reach out and take it.

Why did he share the orange with me?

Are we that familiar now?

After the breakup, apart from occasionally chatting on social media accounts, we rarely interacted with each other again.

Qiu Xingci is no longer good at getting along with Chi Chengye.

Because the boundaries were a bit blurred, he couldn't tell the relationship between the two at this moment.

If it were before, it would have been a matter of course for Chi Chengye to peel an orange for him. Qiu Xingci would not only take it, but also continue to push a new orange into Chi Chengye's palm, squeezing his labor force with peace of mind. another one.

But now, no matter what I do, it seems awkward.

"Thank you, no need."

"Take it, I've tasted it, it's sweet."

The familiar words fell in his ears. Qiu Xingci hesitated for a second, took it, and stuffed the orange into his mouth absentmindedly.

I don’t know if my taste buds are different, but it doesn’t feel particularly sweet.

A little sour.

They used to be so close and entangled, so reluctant to break up. After the breakup, they were still thinking about whether they were strangers or friends. Now when they meet, they act so weirdly.

In the two years of accumulation, Qiu Xingci's repeated confusions were all dispersed in the fog, leaving only an unclear, resentful and indifferent distance.

He looked at Chi Chengye and suddenly asked, "How many days are you going to stay here?"

Chi Chengye glanced at him, silently removed the pecan opener from the table and opened several to the side.

"It's just for today, I should leave later."

Qiu Xingci swore to God that he was not a narcissistic person.

However, he always felt that his ex-husband looked at him with a bit of regret and reluctance, as if... he seemed to want to get back together.

Every time their eyes met, Qiu Xingci felt a little nervous.

When he next chatted with Chi Chengye, he was very energetic, fearing that he would not speak according to the occasion.

But then, nothing happened.

Qiu Xingci slowly ate the peeled pecans, a little confused.

This state did not last long. Chi Chengye didn't stay at his grandmother's house for long. He only sat for a while, answered the phone and left.

Walking to the yard, Qiu Xingci watched him leave and stood there for a while.

The north wind was howling by, and he wrapped his clothes tightly, feeling that the weather was a bit cold.

It started to snow a little in the evening. Grandpa was afraid that the snow would make the roads bad, so he advised him to stay for a day and leave tomorrow.

So Qiu Xingci stayed at his grandma's house that night.

At night, he tidied up the room he used to live in and stared blankly at the few certificates for good students still posted on the wall.

He used to have a lot of this thing, but then he couldn't find it after putting it away.

The dusty certificate posted on this wall is the few remaining honors from his student days.

Qiu Xingci admired each one for a long time. Finally, his eyes fell on the penultimate certificate for the tug-of-war competition of the sports meeting.

This certificate of award is a bit special because it is not written with his own name, but with the name of Chi Chengye.

Chi Chengye drank two taels of fake wine that day and insisted on posting this certificate on this wall, saying that it would be next to his brother's certificate.

Now that Qiu Xingci thinks about it, he still thinks the boy who was holding his neck and blushing that day was funny.

Time really goes by so fast. In the blink of an eye, things change and people change.

The dust and old tape on it were a bit annoying. Qiu Xingci hesitated, looked at the wall, found a feather duster and cleaned the wall from top to bottom.

At night, Qiu Xingci was wrapped in a quilt that smelled of sunshine. When he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, he suddenly felt that he had forgotten something.

He picked up his phone, checked it out, and found that there were many new messages that he had not responded to.

It was his gaming partner who was saying hello, asking him if he was tired, if he wanted to play games,

and, "How was your day?" ]

Qiu Xingci thought for a while and replied [Not very good. 】

I don’t eat cilantro and blueberries and quickly replied [Why? ]

Qiu Xingci sleepily recalled the old lover he saw during the day, and smiled helplessly.

【I met an old friend I didn’t want to see. ]

[My mind is very confused and I don’t know how to deal with it. 】

The phone was silent for a long time, and after a while, new messages came.

[Then don’t think about it now. 】

【rest early. ]

Qiu Xingci was a little strange when he looked at this reply.

[Didn’t we just chat, are we going to sleep now? ]

Not eating cilantro and blueberries [Well, it’s very late. 】

【good evening】
