When Qingcheng Xie returned to Strange Rain Lane, Aunt Li happened to come out of the house to get something - she had a bamboo basket of peel in the sun in the courtyard and made some hot water to drink every night before bed.

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

Qingcheng Xie is confused, but instinctively does not want her to see his own wretched appearance at the moment.

But Miaoqing Li had already gone forward, looking back and forth at him with nervousness and concern.

She was alarmed.

Her little Xie clothes were all wrinkled, the collar buttons ripped off three or four, simply can not be buttoned up, the neck is a stinging hickey, lips were also bitten, still stained with blood.

What scares her more is Qingcheng Xie's eyes.

Qingcheng Xie's eyes have always been cold and sharp, but at this moment it seems like a damaged camera, for a long time out of focus, the eyes of the pair of peach blossom eyes are even slightly damp red, seems to be crying.

Miaoqing Li's heart jumped, she was a young man in the wind and the moon place touch hit people, see this scene can not understand what is happening.

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

Qingcheng Xie said, "Aunt Li, I'm fine, I just accidentally fell on the road ...... You should get some rest early, I want to go home."

The most absurd thing about young people is that they think they can hide it from their elders who are more than half a century old.

Aunt Lai's beautiful eyes widened and her face went white: "But you are ......"

She wanted to ask questions, but the words were not to her lips, and immediately stopped.

She knows how strong Qingcheng Xie is, and how much she takes her own face as an old man seriously.

She did not dare to ask him again, but her hand could not let go of him, and the two stood in the courtyard for a few moments, Miaoqing Li could not hold back any longer, and suddenly reached out and hugged him.

Many, many years ago, she had a boyfriend, and when he found out she was a courtesan, he not only didn't want to go out with her anymore, but he also violently insulted her, despite the fact that she was already a virgin, and then called her a prostitute. She came to the police station as if she had lost her soul, and met Muying Zhou.

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

She now holds Qingcheng Xie, and she doesn't know what happened to him, but she remembers the comfort that a silent hug can bring.

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

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

"......"

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

Miaoqing Li wipe tears, do not know how to comfort him, finally let go of him, worried to see him wearily into the home.

.

This night, Miaoqing Li sat in her own house, listening to the movement next door, carefully recalling many things that happened before - she is not some stupid white girl, Qingcheng Xie's clothes button, and the hickey on the side of his neck, the blood on his mouth... ...are never left by a female.

She pondered for a long time, and gradually a person's figure came to her head.

It was a teenager who did not return home on New Year's Eve and had to stay by Qingcheng Xie's side. The teenager looked very well behaved at the long banquet, and all the neighbors were eager to introduce him to someone, but he smiled and declined one by one, but seemed to glance at Qingcheng Xie for a while.

Later, Ruoqiu Li came back, the teenager also stopped eating and followed Qingcheng Xie to the door of his house, waiting as if he was afraid of what would happen inside.

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

Miaoqing Li then realized that the sound of arguing and smashing things that he heard on New Year's Eve was not the sound of some movie they later spouted.

She also vaguely heard the creaking of the bed and the sound of the walls being thumped that night, she didn't even think much about it at the time and even thought she was dreaming, but now it seems that it wasn't her hallucination at all.

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

Miaoqing Li, as if enlightened, the cup of tea held in his hand fell out of focus and smashed on the floor.

No wonder she later wanted to give Qingcheng Xie a blind date again, Qingcheng Xie even lazy to go, has been putting off, it turns out that he and the child -

It's ridiculous ...... It's ridiculous ......

There was no sound of crying from the next door, Qingcheng Xie is a very strong man, he will not shed tears easily. But Miaoqing Li couldn't hold back, she raised her hand and covered her mouth with force, letting out a sob that she couldn't hold back, and tears came out of her eyes.

How can Xiao Xie be so ignorant ...... that is a rich second generation of less than twenty years old, a look is a playboy, that kind of boy, how can he use any sincerity to people, how can he take care of people? This is ...... what he is faint ah! To be entangled with a boy like that!

Miaoqing Li closed her eyes and tears kept falling.

And in a wall of place, Qingcheng Xie lying in bed, he obviously never started with Yu He, also can not talk about what to break up. Who knows that this kind of separation is not a breakup, will be more hurt 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 light imitating underwater light, and there would be a hazy jellyfish projection in the light.

Qingcheng Xie lay alone in the light all night, his phone resting on his pillow always lit up with the monitoring data from Yu He's mood bracelet.

He is obviously very broken himself, but he still remembers to keep an eye on Yu He's data so that Yu He's spirit will not be unable to support itself and continue to lose control and slide into a rampage.

Fortunately, it didn't.

The bracelet showed a red spike for a while, but it still came down. Qingcheng Xie knew he was probably on medication, but he couldn't go help him this time ...... This was a hurdle Yu He had to cross on his own, and he could only watch him cross it from no one's side.

A whole night of solitude under the sea, a whole night of orange and red monitoring light flash.

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

Until dawn.

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

She thought better of it, she did not bother to ask Qingcheng Xie anything more, sprinkling salt on people's wounds is the most desirable. What she should do now is to take good care of him.

Qingcheng Xie is not a big fan of telling people what's on his mind since he was a child. Every time he encounters something, he closes the door and digests it by himself, probably because he digests more bitterness and his appetite is not good.

When he loses his appetite, he can barely eat anything but the small wontons in chicken soup cooked by Miaoqing Li or the simple home-cooked Shanghai bok choy with rice.

Miaoqing Li was ready to catch the earliest batch of ravioli skins, meat fillings, and the freshest Shanghai green with her vegetable basket.

As a result, she just bypassed the plastic foam box vegetable garden in front of Uncle Liu's house and walked to the entrance of the alley, and saw that - that brazen, I do not know how Qingcheng Xie the playboy, shameless little brat, so sitting outside the alley by the road, hugging his knees, eyes red.

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

This has confirmed Miaoqing Li's suspicions.

She was so angry that she took a step forward and swung a basket of vegetables at the head of the eggplant, a woman in flowered pajamas beating a hungover teenager in the street at 5:30 a.m. without a care in the world. As she beat him, she cursed, "How dare you come here? You have the nerve to come here!"

Yu He stunned, he jerked the tip of his reddened nose, let the older woman hit himself, only to ask: "Auntie, you ...... how do you know ...... did he... ...he told you all?!"

Miaoqing Li was so angry that he was getting high blood pressure.

Look what he said!

What a way to get yourself killed! She was right about everything! It's this homosexual bastard!

She threw the vegetable basket, pointed at Yu He's nose and cursed: "I still need him to tell me? I saw how he came back yesterday, you think I can't guess? I've been hanging out in a messy dance club since before your son was born, what can I not guess? What? You tell me what you did last night! You still have the face to come to him!"

She cursed and pushed Yu He again: "What kind of son of a bitch are you? What? He is so old and you still want to pick him up and play with him, and then force him and dump him to look like you are very capable, so you can go out and brag to your friends, right?"

Miaoqing Li, after all, is a courtesan, and her brain is making up a whole other drama.

The more she scolded, the sadder she got, she lifted her slipper feet and kicked Yu He: "What are you playing for? He is the one you should play with? You are such a ...... person who wants to have no lover, you want to provoke him! He still has the fucking face now! How dare you still come to him!!!"

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

He did not sound by her hit, female □□□ hitting and kicking but also really did not show much mercy, easy to slow down, she pooh spit out of her mouth unintentionally ate her own hair floating in front, and then panting to stare at him.

"You go ...... you hurry up and go!"

Yu He did not say anything until this time, he said with red eyes, "Auntie, I just want to ask how he is now ...... I yesterday ...... I yesterday... ..."

"He's not dead!" Miaoqing Li angrily interrupted him in a sharp 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?"

"......" Yu He knew she was mistaken.

But he didn't want to refute it either.

If he hadn't seen the tears at the end of Qingcheng Xie's eyes yesterday, would he have done something worse than a beast in his drowsy sadness? --He doesn't know.

And he also remembered that he had indeed done Miaoqing Li's mouth beastly things in the clubhouse. Although there was no such thing yesterday, who is he to refute it?

"Why are you still standing there? Get out of here right now! If you do not go, he does not call the police, I'm going to fucking call the police I tell you! Bunny ...... 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." Miaoqing Li said more and more angry, just as the road is less crowded, almost no one passing, she cursed more and more reckless, she pointed at Yu He cursed, "Mother - used to see you playboy! You only know how to play with people!"

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

"You still have the face to say you didn't play? ...... good ...... good! You say, you sit at the entrance of our alley on New Year's Eve, you are not early intention, playing the lower third of the attention, deliberately let him get down and have to bring you back?"

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

Miaoqing Li is even more angry.

"Are you seeing him good-looking, can't let go in your heart, long want to chase him and mess with him, pester him and not let go, force him to be with you?"

Yu He said softly, "...... is."

Miaoqing Li trembled all over and said, "So you're saying... that night, on New Year's Eve, while Xiao Xie's ex-wife was back and he was feeling troubled, you took advantage of the situation. You seduced him, deceived him... you took advantage of his vulnerability and exploited the situation. You took advantage of him that night, bullying him throughout the entire evening, didn't you?"

Yu He lips trembling, but also can not argue: "...... is ...... but ......"

"There's nothing but!" Miaoqing Li was so angry that he slapped him in the face, "Bastard! Even Ximen Qing is not as brutal as you are! Open your eyes! He's a man! He's your eldest! You have no shame to do it to him! What? You're not even a human being!!!"

Yu He doesn't want to explain anything.

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

"What are you looking at? He's better off without you! He's better off without seeing you!" Miaoqing Li snapped, "Now get your ass back out of my way! I'm his godmother! I'll take good care of him, and I won't let you continue to play around with him here! What is it? You're done humiliating him, and you're sorry you didn't have enough fun, so you're going back to the reconciliation thing?

Yu He is really wronged to the extreme.

When did he ever give up on Qingcheng Xie?

How dare you call on Qingcheng Xie and leave him at once?

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

In fact, his own heart was so broken that he only relied on his little desire to protect Qingcheng Xie and insisted on doing what Qingcheng Xie had asked him to do when he left - to calm himself down and not be manipulated by the disease.

He was able to hold on and stand in front of Miaoqing Li like a normal person by relying on this one sentence.

Miaoqing Li's eyebrows rose angrily and went straight to her temples: "You still don't fucking leave?"

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

He didn't care what Miaoqing Li's reaction was, this was his last line.

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