Forced into the Deep - v2 Chapter 29
Xing Zhongwan stood outside the villa and took a deep breath, the fresh air made people feel better instantly. He turned around and asked Qi Yun, who was behind him, “When did you find this place? It’s alright. Even a bird can’t fly up. What do you think? Do you want to die alone here?”
Qi Yun looked at Xing Zhongwan, who was wrapped in a thick down jacket and hat with only a pair of eyes showing, and took off the scarf around his neck and wrapped it around him.
“I have this idea. When I built this villa, I thought it would be good to die here alone.”
Qi Yun smiled, this was no joke, he really meant it at the time.
Xing Zhongwan pulled the scarf covering his mouth and stared at Qi Yun, who was a little flustered by him.
“What’s wrong?”
Xing Zhongwan said seriously, “It’s not easy for a person to live, even if you have to live well, how old are you to have such negative thoughts.”
Qi Yun asked him to sit on a small chair by the fence, and stuffed a thermos cup in his hand with the red date water boiled by Xing Zhongwan.
“Wan Wan, have you ever thought that without you, there might be no Qi Yun in this world. For so many years, I have always felt that these days were stolen.”
Qi Yun raised the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, his eyes drooped slightly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. Xing Zhongwan knew that he was thinking of the past.
Xing Zhongwan took his cold hand and sat across from him and put his hand in his pocket to warm it.
“Qiyun, I told you before that God let you survive, that is, you should not die, you should cherish it.”
Qi Yun raised his head, looked at him dazedly, and finally kissed him at the corner of his eye, “I have always been alone. Late night, Qi Zongcheng’s knife has long since wiped out all my family concerns in this world. Take it away. It wasn’t me who was ruthless, it was everyone who forced me to be ruthless.”
Xing Zhongwan understood, he knew it all. It hurts, but what can be done. You can’t be dragged down by just rushing forward in that position.
“I don’t know how much blood is on Qi Yun’s body. I’m not worthy of you. Late night.”
Xing Zhongwan sighed, touched Qi Yun’s cold forehead, and unscrewed the thermos cup in his hand, “You drink, it’s warm.”
The heat warmed Qi Yun’s eyes, and the night in front of him became blurred. He subconsciously grabbed Xing Zhongwan’s hand.
Xing Zhongwan let him hold it and fell on the back of the chair. Although the wind was strong, the warm sunlight was not so cold.
“How can I be so good. When I first took over the group, no one accepted me. When I was young and had such a face, sometimes a beautiful face in the mall might become a drag on you. At that time, I had What? There is nothing except the blood of the Xing family. But I have to live, I have to let others recognize me. When it was the hardest time, I slept in the airport to talk about the list, and I was still in the y country train with difficult conditions and wars. Standing on the ground floor. Looking at Xing Zhongwan is very beautiful now, but outsiders don’t know what he has experienced. The identity of the royal family is a shackle, how many people’s eyes are staring at you and you can’t do anything wrong, even a little bit will be infinitely magnified , I can’t be easily swayed by others only if I make myself stronger. Yes, you can see that everyone likes me, and who doesn’t like Xing Zhongwan, who is slick and smooth and can’t make mistakes. Do I want to? No. I have to work hard to make others like me In order to get more, try to cater to become what everyone likes, and be an excellent Xing Zhongwan forever.”
Xing Zhongwan stopped for a while and looked at Qi Yun, “I don’t want to, but I can’t help it. I have no father or mother, and I have no one to rely on. I have friends like Xue Qing Laocheng, but they have their own lives, In the end, the only one who can rely on is yourself. People who are not hurt will arm themselves to become better, because there is no one to rely on, only themselves are strong.”
He stretched out his hand to hold Qi Yun’s face, “You’re fine like this. Fate has been unfair to you, but you still have your own edges and corners, and you don’t want to cater to you.”
There are still half a word, Xing Zhongwan pressed into his heart, I want to love you, Qi Yun. I want to protect your edges and corners and let you live as you wish. When you look back, I’m still here. I support all the pain and injustice in your world.
I dare not say this, there are far more difficulties than these, promise I dare not say it easily.
“I know it’s not easy for you, and it’s hard work.”
Qi Yun dragged Xing Zhongwan into his arms and patted him on the back. Xing Zhongwan didn’t look over his head and took a deep breath, “Okay, don’t blow your hair outside, go in and prepare for lunch, my nose is about to freeze.”
Qi Yun said ok, released him, and took his hand into the villa.
Xing Zhongwan walked behind and looked at the hands of the two of them, a rare moment of tranquility.
Xing Zhongwan asked Qi Yun to boil a pot of water before going to the toilet, and he could cook the ribs when he came out. As a result, he went to the toilet and came out with medicine, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to blanch the ribs.
Qi Yun was still standing in the kitchen as he entered the bathroom in a daze, Xing Zhongwan quickly walked over to take a look, and slapped his forehead, “Come on, I overestimate you, fairy, you are still floating in the sky, this is Let me, a common man, do the trivial matters.”
Qi Yun touched his nose embarrassedly. He had been studying hard, but how should this fire be started?
Xing Zhongwan looked back at him, and when the big man was watching behind him, he panicked and pulled a stool for him, “Hey, sit down.”
Qi Yun sat down obediently and stared at Xing Zhongwan’s back, “Did you cook for me like this before?”
Xing Zhongwan thought about it seriously, “The villa you live in is gloomy, and the kitchen is much smaller than this. To be honest, I had just established a firm foothold in the group at that time, and I was finally able to raise my eyebrows and come back to take care of you. Well, I’m unlucky enough to think about it.”
Looking at the tumbling ribs in the pot, Xing Zhongwan suddenly remembered something, “Speaking of which, you used to be much cuter than you are now. You blush when you flirt, but now it’s not that easy. What a pity.”
Qi Yun got up and walked behind him and hugged him from behind. Xing Zhongwan was stunned, took a piece of oil-absorbing paper to dry his hands, and then touched his hair, “What’s wrong?”
Qi Yun didn’t speak for a long time, and Xing Zhongwan turned off the fire.
Qi Yun buried his face in Xing Zhongwan’s neck, “I can’t bear it.”
Xing Zhongwan was startled, he understood what Qi Yun meant by reluctance, such a pleasant time seemed fake.
Resisting the sourness gushing out of his heart, he pushed Qi Yun out and closed the kitchen door. Xing Zhongwan turned on the faucet and looked at the rushing water, with red eyes.
Qi Yun lowered his head, frowned slightly and let out a sigh of relief. The phone on the table rang, Qi Yun walked over to pick it up, unlocked it, and opened it.
The originally warm face sank little by little, and after pressing the power button, Qi Yun’s eyes did not move until the screen turned black. He raised his head and glanced at the closed kitchen door, picked up the broken hair in front of his forehead, took a few steps forward, and finally stopped. Looking down at the beige carpet, Qi Yun clenched his teeth, his hands hanging by his side were already tightly clasped, and his forehead was flushed red.
The moment the kitchen door opened, Qi Yun released his strength, looked up at Xing Zhongwan, who was holding a plate, and laughed.
Qi Yun was drinking the soup. Although he had always had an indifferent face, the joy on his face could not deceive anyone. Xing Zhongwan took two more sips, “Is it so delicious? Why don’t I think it’s normal.”
Qi Yun smiled and said, “It tastes like home.”
Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment, turned his head with a cut, and his face was a little red.
After coughing twice in embarrassment, Xing Zhongwan felt that he was going to change the subject, “Seriously, you have been injured all day long, haven’t you gone to fortune-telling? Is there any way to resolve it?”
Qi Yun suddenly remembered that Wanwan believed in these the most, “Yes, when I was young, my grandmother was still there, and after counting my birthday, she said that when I was 30, I could meet a noble person and prevent all disasters.”
Xing Zhongwan held the bowl and stared, “Really, 30 years old, that is five years ago, who did you meet?”
Qi Yun smiled but did not say a word, and when Xing Zhongwan reacted, he said several times to shake the grass.
“You can, Qi Yun, tease me!”
Qi Yun hurriedly shook his head, “I’m telling the truth, you’re not my noble person.”
Xing Zhongwan snorted and looked to the side with his mouth closed.
Qi Yun put down the bowl and looked at him quietly. This kind of night was the first time he saw it after the restoration of Ming Dynasty. This is the real Xing Zhongwan. It is not the heir to the wealthy and well-known family of X country who is excellent in everything and perfect in everything. In front of him, remove this series of labels attached to him, it is just Xing Zhongwan.
Xing Zhongwan turned his head and met Qi Yun at a glance, “Isn’t it going to let anyone eat?”
“Eat.” Qi Yun picked up the bowl and took a mouthful of rice with a smile.
At this time, Xing Zhongwan’s cell phone rang. He glanced at Xian and walked to the living room with his cell phone to speak. When he walked away, the smile on Qi Yun’s mouth gradually faded, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.
“On the plane tomorrow night, go back with the follow-up group.”
Xue Qing called and told him the time to go back.
Xing Zhongwan hummed and asked her if her body could stand the long flight.
Xue Qing said that there was nothing to worry about her, there was a doctor accompanying her. The two talked for a long time without getting to the point. In the end, Xue Qing breathed a sigh of relief, “How about you? With Qi Yun?”
Xing Zhongwan hummed. Xue Qing sighed, “If you can’t bear it, then…”
“It’s not something I can’t bear to give up now, you understand.”
Xue Qing stopped talking, how could she not understand.
“I’ll wait for you at the airport tomorrow.” After saying this, Xue Qing hung up the phone.
Xing Zhongwan put down the phone and stared blankly at the floor-to-ceiling windows. The sun gradually disappeared and it looked like it was going to rain.
The back was surrounded by people, and the clear and indifferent voice had an unmatched deepness, “Go back.”
Xing Zhongwan turned his head around Qi Yun’s back, the obvious shape of the spine made him a little afraid to touch it, he put his head on Qi Yun’s thin shoulder, “Why did you provide so many lamps and copy so many scriptures? , you obviously don’t believe those?”
Qi Yun chuckled lightly and touched Xing Zhongwan’s hair, “I’ve done too many wrong things, I’m afraid of going to hell, I won’t be able to enter reincarnation after death, and I won’t meet you in the next life.”
Xing Zhongwan’s hand hanging on his waist tightly grasped the thin home clothes. Because he was shaking slightly with force, he hated Qi Yun for being too honest, and opened his heart alive in front of him.
Qi Yun grabbed his trembling hand and held it gently, “I didn’t believe it before, but after you left, this has become a sustenance to find you. If there is a next life, I am not Qi Yun, and you are not Xing Zhongwan, there is no trouble. , without so many scruples. We are just ordinary people, can we… be together?”
Xing Zhongwan closed his eyes and held Qi Yun’s hand tightly. The back of their hands began to turn white due to blood loss, and it was very painful, but neither of them let go.
“Then let’s think of a password so that we can recognize each other.”
Xing Zhongwan raised his head, Qi Yun’s eyes flashed a quiet light, deep and persistent.
Xing Zhongwan approached Qi Yun, and a light kiss fell on the corner of his mouth.
At the moment of separation, Qi Yun raised his hand and touched Xing Zhongwan’s beautiful eyebrows.
“If I go back to the beginning, I won’t let go of your hand, I will take that little dirty boy home… and hide it.”
Xing Zhongwan looked at the smile on Qi Yun’s mouth. Although he was smiling, Xing Zhongwan knew how much pain he felt when he said this. Qi Yun didn’t have many happy events in his life. He was forced to come to the present, and he couldn’t stay out of it. Qi Yun desperately wanted to keep a little bit of his clarity, how could he not understand.
“Qiyun, promise me, be good. No matter how difficult it is, don’t give up on yourself. I’m not a wooden man, I will be sad and distressed. If you go to the hospital again, I can’t take it anymore. Xing Zhongwan can bear it again, You can’t stand the person you like wandering between life and death again and again, you can’t be so selfish.”
Xing Zhongwan’s eyes were red, and he said these words word by word, and the corners of his mouth were shaking. Qi Yun kissed the red and hot eyes, “My evening, it’s so beautiful.”
Xing Zhongwan closed his eyes, “I was praised by someone who was more beautiful than me, should I jump up and turn three times?”
There was no joy in the playful tone.
Qi Yun held his face, “Promise you, I won’t let myself get into trouble.”
Xing Zhongwan’s shoulders loosened, “Speaking counts!”
Shen Congxin looked at the secretary who put down the phone again, and felt a little distressed for him. I just came back from a serious illness and reported that I haven’t been stable for a few days, and I have begun to live such days of burning eyebrows every day.
“Is it still off?”
The secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at him helplessly, “What do you say?”
Shen Congxin spread his hands, “If you go to the big cousin at this time, you will also be kicked out. Just pick it up at the agreed time, and get your suits ready.”
It was rare for the secretary to see Shen Congxin so calm, and he was a little puzzled, “Do you know something?”
Shen Congxin shook his head, if I could really guess what my big cousin was thinking, I looked at the stack of photos by the table with a complicated look.
During this period of time, he always felt that Qi Yun had made a decision. Although I don’t know what it is, I always feel that this decision will bring earth-shaking changes to the current tense situation.
Just as I was thinking, the phone rang.
Shen Congxin picked it up and snorted.
“What did you say? Big cousin? Are you sure!? Hey! Hey…”
The moment he hung up the phone, Shen Congxin was sluggish, what did he hear just now?
After walking around the office several times like a headless fly, the secretary stopped him and patted him on the shoulder, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Congxin opened his mouth, but couldn’t make a sound.
Qi Yun, are you serious?
