spring dream

Chapter 23

023

Lao Song called his family and said that he was going north. Wen Qi didn't have an ID card and couldn't buy a train ticket, so Xiao Er asked Lao Song, and the group drove back to Beijing.

The nearly [-]-kilometer journey will stop in four cities along the way. When Lao Song drives, Xiao Er, Wen Qi, and Lu Xiaozhao sit in the back seat. When Xiao Er drives, Wen Qi also switches to the co-pilot.

Wen Qi sleeps most of the time, wakes up occasionally, and takes a look at the scenery outside the window. Sometimes the sky is clear, sometimes it is rainy, the clouds gather and then disperse, and the sky changes from light to dark. The world is strange to him. He hasn’t been out for a long time. .

He tilted his head slightly to look to the left, the scenery outside was constantly changing, the only thing that remained the same was the people guarding him.

For the last stop before arriving in Beijing, Xiao Er chose Zhengzhou.Daqie drove into the Marriott Hotel next to Ruyi Lake. Although the sky was blue and the sun was dim, the lights like fireflies lit up along the lake, and the surrounding scenery was still beautiful.

Wen Qi was still wearing the Miao long uniform inside, and Xiao Er's jacket on the outside, the tight trousers did not reach the ankles, and the shoes were disposable cotton slippers from the inn.He stood in the middle of the lobby, accepting the surprised gazes of the guests, not timid, just a little confused.

He dodged his gaze, and finally fell on the person who checked in at the front desk.

Xiao Er has always been vigorous and resolute in his work. He handed over the card and directly interrupted the receptionist's long list of "members have points" and "enjoy preferential activities". He quickly settled on the suite with the best view on the top floor. One single bed, one queen bed.

The receptionist was still verifying his identity information, Xiao Er and others were impatient, and looked back at Wen Qi several times in the middle, each time taking longer than each time.

After swiping the card and pressing the elevator, Lao Song put his hands on his hips and moved his sore shoulders: "I can just sleep on the sofa, and their sofa is more comfortable than the bed."

"No need." Xiao Er was very close to Wen Qi, and could feel his slight breathing, "I don't sleep."

Maybe it was because he was about to go home, Lu Xiaozhao lost the energy to wander around, and fell asleep within a few minutes while lying next to Lu Ran.Lao Song was alone in the room, and he worked the hardest out of the five, snoring loudly when he fell out of bed.Xiao Er opened the drink that came with the hotel, passed by Lao Song's room, closed the door, and entered the innermost room.

Wen Qi's sleepiness was very light, and he didn't do anything else these days. He ate with his eyes open, and continued to sleep after eating. His life was simple and comfortable, unlike the clubhouse where he was always busy until three or five in the morning.He grabbed the quilt to cover his mouth and nose, his almond eyes slightly opened, staring warily at Xiao Er who had just entered the room.

He couldn't figure out what this person wanted to do, but out of respect for himself at the beginning, Wen Qi judged that Xiao Er should not be a bad person.

But no one in this world would be obedient to another person unconditionally. Wen Qi quietly stretched out a hand from under the quilt, took off the somewhat sharp silver jewelry pinned to his hair, and held it in his palm.

The warm air was on in the room, and the clothes were thick. Xiao Er put the canned drink on the round table beside the bed, took off his sweater, sat on the sofa chair, and stared blankly at a void.After a while, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the game that came with the system, and spent the rest of the time bored.

"Go to sleep." Xiao Er looked at the screen, "I won't touch you."

Wen Qi tilted his head and frowned. He was sure he didn't make a sound just now, and the man never looked at him. How did he know he wasn't asleep?While being puzzled, he looked at Xiao Er from top to bottom, pondering in a mess in his heart, and his consciousness became shallower and shallower after a while.

The moonlight is soft and the night wind whispers.

In the dream, it was still the cherry blossom tree, the green branches stretched into the window of the teahouse, and the sound of opera could be faintly heard.Wen Qi saw a person standing beside the tree trunk with a vague outline, so he stared hard for a long time, but still couldn't make out his facial features and figure.

The morning light was faintly bright, and the city was awakened by the flow of people shuttled back and forth. Wen Qi opened his eyes, and when his vision was clear, he looked around. The room was surprisingly quiet.On the balcony outside the door, a person was leaning on the railing with his back arched, his shoulders raised, and he was standing lazily. With a cigarette butt that was about to be extinguished between his lips, he was greedily taking the last deep breath.

Xiao Er looked at the skyline at the end of his field of vision, and he hadn't seen such a far place for a long time.

Wen Qi looked at the man's solid back through the thick glass, raised his right hand unconsciously, and grabbed the doorknob.

The silver bell rang softly.

Xiao Er took a breath, and when he turned around, he had pinched out the cigarette and stuffed it into his pocket, and a moist breeze blew from behind him, brushing Wen Qi's fine strands of hair scattered on his temples.

"Are you awake?" With a hoarse voice, Xiao Er asked with a smile, "Are you hungry?"

Wen Qi shook his head, and took two steps back to make way for Xiao Er to enter the room. This man was wearing a black vest, and he felt cold no matter how he looked.

The two walked to the bathroom at the same time, Xiaoer took a step back, leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, and stood quietly outside the door waiting.Wen Qi took off the cumbersome ornaments from his hair, brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth, and walked out with a face full of water, clutching a towel in his hand.

He looked up at Xiao Er, looked at his red eyes, and skillfully fiddled with the cups and pots on the counter, boiled water, made tea, and calmly picked up the cups and handed them to him.

There was something deep hidden in this man's pupils, and Wen Qi felt that if he didn't do anything, he would soon be staring at him.

"This is not a club, you don't need to do these things." Xiao Er took the tea, leaned forward, wiped Wen Qi's hair, and put it on the cabinet behind him, "You don't need to do it from now on."

Wen Qi didn't understand, what he understood with his IQ was that the man in front of him spent some money to buy him from Boss Chen, didn't he just want to add a tea and miscellaneous person to the family?I only have this ability, otherwise what can I do if I buy it back?As a decoration town house?

That's what Xiaoer really wanted.

With Wen Qi around, one's heart is crushed to death, one glance, one feels full of security, maybe you can compare with his master, maybe you will also run to two hundred.

Wen Qi avoided Xiao Er's gaze, and opened the five fingers of his left hand. Inside was a pair of well-crafted sterling silver hair accessories, with slender silver threads on the tail.He picked up one and was about to put it behind his ear when the person in front of him said again, "If you don't want to take it, don't take it."

He worked as a waiter in the club for three years. He got up early and stayed late every day, and had to wear different clothes according to the requirements of customers. No one ever said to him, "You don't have to work", "You don't have to wear clothes you don't like".Wen Qi straightened his lips, stared blankly for a moment, took two steps sideways, looked up at Xiao Er, sat down on the edge of the bed in doubt, stepped on the edge of the bed with his left foot, and reached out to untie the silver bracelet on his ankle.

It was worn for too long, and the surface layer was seriously oxidized. Wen Qi fiddled with it for a long time, but it was so astringent that he couldn't pull it off.

The shadow covered the top of his head, and there were hands in his field of vision. Xiao Er pulled off the silver bracelet without much effort, took it off Wen Qi's foot, and put it in his pocket together with the hair accessories at hand.

"'Wen Qi' is your name, whether you agree or not, I will only call you that."

"My name is Xiao Er, and I'm your...friend, here to take you home."

"From now on, I will do whatever you want. I have nothing else but a lot of money. I will buy you everything you like."

Xiao Er smiled and looked at Shang Wenqi's childish and ignorant eyes: "We met a long time ago, and you were always with me at that time. I lost you later, but it's okay—"

He picked up a towel, wiped off the water on Wen Qi's face, and said softly, "We will never be separated again."
