Forced into the Deep - v2 Chapter 19
Xing Zhongwan fastened his seatbelt and saw that Qi Yun, who was beside him, had already sat well. Feeling that the people around him were looking at him lately, Qi Yun turned his head and smiled, “Is something wrong?”
Xing Zhongwan quickly turned his head and coughed twice, “Thank you for the lawyer you found for Xie Ming.”
Qi Yun thought about it for a while, then raised his eyebrows, “It’s not a big deal.”
Xing Zhongwan said that he owed Qi Yun a favor because he hadn’t used his connections to find a lawyer for Xie Ming. Xie Ming’s phone call came and said that a lawyer had already contacted her, and Xing Zhongwan’s background was so great Somewhat surprised.
This lawyer has been retired for several years. It can be said that most of the famous barristers are his students. One can imagine how high his status is in the circle. If you want to invite him out of the mountain, you don’t have to have face. Xing Zhongwan has always been smart, and it is very clear who pushed him behind this. Qi Yun is the proud student of this old gentleman, Qi Yun, you made me owe you a big favor as soon as I came.
Xing Zhongwan was thinking about it, and the person beside him said again, “Your business is mine, don’t think too much.”
Xing Zhongwan said in his heart, can’t you think about it too much? I just don’t want to have a relationship with you.
“Please have a meal, we are even.”
Xing Zhongwan started the car and turned out of the parking lot. Seeing his tense side face, Qi Yun wanted to reach out and touch it, “You don’t owe me anything, so how can you balance it out? I owe you more.”
There was another awkward silence in the car…
Just when the call came, Xing Zhongwan drove the car, and a soothing and clean female voice came, “Boss, you are going for a medical examination.”
Xing Zhongwan held his forehead, “It’s midnight on your side, you don’t have to fight so hard, what if you die suddenly?”
The secretary snorted and said in very standard Chinese, “If you are diligent and diligent, don’t run around, let me save snacks and I can live 20 years longer.”
Xing Zhongwan exhaled, “Okay, I’ll go when I find time recently.”
“Remember not to eat junk food, eat a light diet, exercise more, don’t sit at a desk for a long time to stay in a good mood, and most importantly, don’t stay up late. I already told No. 3 and No. 4 that they will stare at you.”
Xing Zhongwan was a little embarrassed. He didn’t know that his secretary called specifically to say this, but Qi Yun who was beside him heard it clearly.
“Understood, Xie Yi’s mother.”
The other end seemed to sigh, “Boss, if the group has no secretary, you can find another secretary, but there is only one boss, so pay attention to your health.”
The moment the phone hung up, Xing Zhongwan felt a complicated line of sight around him. Just as he was about to explain, Qi Yun had already asked, “Wan Wan, what’s wrong with your body?”
Qi Yun’s voice has always been deep, and the speed of his speech is always indifferent, but at this time it was a little rushed.
“I’m in good health.” Xing Zhongwan turned on the turn signal and turned into the passing lane.
“Know how my grandfather died? Heart attack. How did my great-grandfather die? Heart attack. When I was young, I was always healthy, but when I was 40 years old, it was found that there was a heart problem. So I came here to prevent me from repeating the same mistakes. , I have always paid attention to diet and exercise, and have a physical examination every six months. So far, I am very healthy, and you don’t look at me with the expression that I have a terminal illness, I will live a hundred years. “
However, Qi Yun’s heart was not put down because of the late explanation, “I’ll arrange a hospital for you, don’t wait, I’ll go tomorrow.”
“I will find the hospital myself, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
“Be obedient! Is this kind of thing a joke?” Qi Yun’s voice suddenly rose. The frightened Xing Zhongwan accidentally honked the horn, and the sound of the horn made Qi Yun recover from his tense emotions. He bowed his head and said sorry.
How could he not care, Qi Yun’s heart was still beating so fast. If there is really something late at night, then he… Then what should he do?
Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but rolled his eyes at him, “Hey, why are you looking like I’m going to die tomorrow. They all say I’m healthy, okay? It’s just prevention, do you understand!”
Qi Yun looked sideways at the passing pedestrians and vehicles outside the car window, “Wan Wan, don’t you know how much you hold in my heart?”
Xing Zhongwan stared at the road ahead, suddenly wanted to smoke a little, wanted to touch the cigarette case a few times and stopped, he did not smoke in front of Qi Yun.
Before and now, he was always unable to resist Qi Yun’s showing of weakness. Xing Zhongwan didn’t think he was a softhearted person, but he always had to spend a little more effort to deal with Qi Yun.
“Qiyun, isn’t it bad to like women? It’s not easy for you to get here today, don’t let any stains affect your future.”
Qi Yun turned his head, his face was bitter, “How could you be my stain.”
Xing Zhongwan’s eyes drifted over the scar on his wrist, although it was covered by a watch, it would always be exposed accidentally.
“You can’t be together if you like it. I’ve understood this since I was a child.”
Xing Zhongwan smiled, “You have been looking for me for so many years, and you should be very clear about the Xing family. Xing Yanyin loved my mother so much at the beginning, but in the end, she was not pushed to others, spittle would drown people. of.”
Qi Yun lowered his eyelids gently, Xing Zhongwan unconcernedly opened his life experience that was difficult for outsiders to know, Qi Yun was very distressed that he had always known it lately.
“So, it’s not good to take the easy road, why do you have to take the rough path. This world can’t solve everything without love. Besides, I don’t believe you, Qi Yun.”
Xing Zhongwan’s words made Qi Yun tense all over his body. The words that he was about to blurt out were suffocated by him. A word of distrust made Qi Yun unable to refute. After all, there were many things he did wrong in the first place.
Xing Zhongwan’s car stopped in front of a small building, and a tall and strong man in his forties greeted him at the door, “Master, are you here?”
Xing Zhongwan patted his shoulder, “Excuse me, I have to clear the venue when I suddenly come to dinner.”
The man’s dark face was full of smiles, “What did the young master say, I heard that you are coming for dinner. Grandpa was busy with work early in the morning.” After speaking, he nodded towards Qi Yun who was behind him. The Xing family had seen strong winds and waves, and they were not surprised to see Qi Yun. Qi Yun walked over to Xing Zhongwan and said hello.
The man said, “Hello, the people brought by Mr. have already arranged their positions downstairs.”
Qi Yun’s bodyguard had been following behind Xing Zhongwan’s car, Qi Yun was afraid that Xing Zhongwan would be unhappy, but he did not expect that the man would say, “Young master ordered the people around you to come in as well. “
Qi Yun looked at Xing Zhongwan with a calm face, and made a gesture to the bodyguard who got out of the car behind.
Xing Zhongwan walked in, leaning on the man’s shoulders, “Is the business still going well recently? I’ve asked you to go to Country X with me. I can’t find anyone to fight me when you’re not here, and I’m not happy at all.”
The man raised his head and laughed, “Young master, you are amazing. Grandpa is too old to move.”
Qi Yun looked at the two people who were close in front of her, and rubbed her tangled eyebrows.
The secretary who followed behind came up, “You have an important meeting this afternoon.”
Qi Yun looked at his watch and walked into the small building without answering.
The secretary laughed when he saw Qi Yun’s back, nothing was important except the young lady.
The small building looks simple, but there is something special inside. There is a big stage in the middle of the first floor, and there are boxes upstairs. Xing Zhongwan sat in the box and drank a sip of tea and breathed a sigh of relief, “This used to be a theater, but it was turned into a private restaurant. The owner of this shop is an old chef who has been with my grandfather for many years. Don’t cook the vegetables too delicious.”
Qi Yun took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, which was very elegant at first glance. “It tastes very similar to the tea from the old house in Jiangnan.”
Xing Zhongwan just wanted to say how did you know, when he remembered that he almost spit out the tea he had just imported into Xiaozhu every year. There was a knock on the door, and the wooden door opened, and an old man with gray hair came in with a dish. When he saw Xing Zhongwan, he was so excited that he would bend over and kowtow. Xing Zhongwan hurriedly stood up to support him, “Oh, what are you doing? It’s been so many years that the old rules have been abandoned.” The soft Jiangnan accent in the words made Qi Yun startled. Since the reunion, I have never spoken to myself in this tone of voice again. It turns out that this is also divided.
The old man said a few words to Xing Zhongwan, looked at Qi Yun, and the moment he recognized who it was, there was a flash of clarity in his cloudy eyes.
“Master, you and Mr. Qi eat slowly, I won’t disturb you.”
Xing Zhongwan sent the old man out, and then opened the bead curtain on one side to see the entire stage from this side.
Xing Zhongwan took the wine bottle on the table and said, “Riverberry wine, do you want some homemade wine?”
Just as Qi Yun was about to take the bottle, Xing Zhongwan quickly withdrew his hand, “I forgot that you are still injured.”
He smiled and poured himself a small glass, “No luck.”
After one mouthful of stuffiness, Xing Zhongwan narrowed his eyes excitedly, “Oh, that’s the taste.”
The plump lips were stained with red liquid to make it even more gorgeous. Qi Yun turned his face away, picked up the chopsticks and put the shrimp in his mouth, full of sweet and delicious taste.
Xing Zhongwan was not as reserved as Qi Yun, and opened half of the beggar chicken’s eyebrows and curved eyes, and his eyes that were usually somewhat evil were full of satisfaction.
Qi Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Eat less and eat more vegetables.” Handing the small towel on the table to Xing Zhongwan, Xing Zhongwan took it and wiped his hands rudely.
“Look at the fact that I like to eat and sleep like ordinary people, so I still have a good-looking face. But Qi Yun, you can still find someone who looks better than me and treats you well. Xing Zhongwan People just stretched out their hands to help you when you were most vulnerable, and I am not selfish, in order to repay my kindness and to move the grave for my mother. We just take what we need, if you want to say that because I treated you during this period It’s so good that you have some different feelings for me, then I can only say I’m very sorry. The general election is about to take place, and even in country X, which has passed legislation to open up same-sex marriage, not all people accept this kind of feeling, let alone In China. You have worked hard for so many years and you are about to succeed. A little scandal can ruin you. You should know this better than me. Don’t give up all your achievements for the accident of the year. It’s not worth it. “
Qi Yun had already put down his chopsticks at some point, and the sweetness in his mouth had turned into bitterness. This astringency penetrated into his heart little by little, and it was very uncomfortable.
It’s not only Xing Zhongwan’s persuasion to give up, but also the helplessness brought about by the reality. Everything that Wanwan said is true.
Their beginnings were indeed too bad. At the beginning, they got along with each other to get what they needed. In fact, when I think about it now, Wanwan’s character and identity knew the truth and didn’t give me a knife, even if I gave the face of my ancestors.
Qi Yun twitched the corners of his mouth bitterly, normal communication is difficult, not to mention the unpleasant things that happened between them.
“I never thought I’d fall in love with a man, I never thought I’d fall in love with anyone.
Xing Zhongwan lowered his shoulders and looked at Qi Yun calmly. Qi Yun raised his head and smiled at him. There was no gloom and no helplessness in that smile, only a simple smile.
Xing Zhongwan also smiled, “Qi Yun, you should have more smiles like this. You look so good when you smile like this.”
Qi Yun was taken aback, Wan Wan was the first and only person who said he looked good when he smiled.
“No one said I had a good-looking smile except you. My mother said that my smile looked like the Shen family. She didn’t like it. She didn’t like me smiling in front of her.”
Qi Yun pressed the faintly painful wound, and when he talked about Guan Yang, he only had peace in his heart, and this woman only had a mother’s name for him.
“Lately, I know this kind of feeling is ridiculous. I didn’t believe you when you came to me at first. Who would give my heart to a useless paralyzed man. But you are too good to me, no one is right I’ve never been better than this.”
Qi Yun took a sip of water from the tea bowl on the table and said with a light expression, “Your kindness and your warmth are like addictive drugs to a person who has never felt love and warmth. I want to know you approach your heart. Let’s see what’s inside, how can you be so heart-warming to a stranger. But what can I do, I’ll accompany myself in, I can’t get out. “
The corners of Xing Zhongwan’s eyes turned slightly red and quickly looked away.
Qi Yun got up and walked in front of Xing Zhongwan, squatting and looking at him quietly, “Wan Wan, I owe you an apology. I lied to you because of my selfishness. I know you always wanted to leave, but I wanted to stay. I’ll leave you. But why should I keep you? At that time, Qi Yun didn’t even have a healthy body. All I had in my hand was your pity for me. I didn’t tell you about the operation. I was wrong. Shen Qinghong was right. I don’t know how to love someone. It’s not possessiveness or tactics. I shouldn’t have done that kind of thing to you. You are also sorry for my sincerity towards you. In the past five years, I have gradually come to understand that I am trying to learn how to love someone but it is too late, right? Trust and sincerity are the most difficult things. I know very well that if it is not by chance If I meet you, I will never see me in my life, and I will not let me find you.”
Xing Zhongwan lowered his head and looked at Qi Yun’s red nose, the man who was about the same height as him squatted humbly at his feet, Xing Zhongwan went to help him, Qi Yun circled Xing Zhongwan into his arms, “Late night. Late, I just love you.” There is another sentence Qi Yun dare not say, I have persisted for many years because of you, thinking about the day we will meet in a certain corner of the world, Qi Yun must work hard Be the one worthy of you.
He can’t say that he can’t put pressure on Wan Wan anymore.
Xing Zhongwan’s whole body froze, he didn’t know how many times he had held Qi Yun’s body from the very beginning, watching him slowly grow flesh, watching him get better little by little.
Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment, then slowly wrapped his arms around Qi Yun’s back, “Qi Yun, you are still the little fairy sister who held my hand in the hospital back then.”
Xing Zhongwan’s eyes were red and water was about to drip, he took a deep breath and held it back, “No matter what you look like, I will never forget the warm touch when you held my hand when I was a child, no matter what the outside world thinks of you, you will always be there. There is a trace of softness hidden deep in your heart, thank you for giving him to me. Qiyun, you deserve all the best things, so treat Wanwan as a dream of yours. “
“Qiyun, let’s all be well and don’t meet again.”
The moment Xing Zhongwan said these words, the body holding him trembled slightly, the neck was wet and hot, and Qi Yun cried…
Xing Zhongwan bit her lip and looked at the corner of the wall absentmindedly. After a long time, there was a soft hello in my ear.
Xing Zhongwan couldn’t bear it any longer, there was a trace of water on the black floor.
