Chapter 34 Chapter 34

Time like a dream is always short.

During the second half of the journey that night, Qiao Hao could feel that Shi Dongdong was obviously dragging his feet and didn't want to take any risks, so he hailed a taxi that he had come across with great difficulty.

As soon as they arrived at the hotel, the brightly lit lobby seemed to bring the two of them back to reality. Qiao Hao felt that he didn't know where to put the hand he held before.Fortunately, Shi Dongdong didn't look at him either, but walked ahead with his head down.

When they arrived in the room, both of them felt a little cramped, as if the casualness and tacit understanding that had been hard-won over the past few days collapsed in an instant, and they returned to a state of unfamiliarity.

However, Qiao Hao didn't mind this state.The two men who have just kissed are like getting to know each other again, at least, Qiao Hao thinks so.

Shi Dongdong finished washing quickly, the steam made his face slightly red.

Qiao Hao didn't dare to make mistakes, he firmly believed that his love should come naturally, and then flow slowly.So, he just said "I'm tired today, go to bed early" and took a change of clothes into the bathroom.Shi Dongdong smiled at him gently, and lifted the quilt of his own bed.

When Qiao Hao came out, the man had already turned off the headlight in the room and fell asleep, with his whole body facing away from Qiao Hao.

Qiao Hao touched his left chest, feeling that his heart was still beating fiercely, and couldn't help but reminisce about that kiss under the street lamp. His heartbeat at this moment was not only because of the beauty of the kiss itself, but also because of Shi Dongdong's obedience.

Does not reject mean acceptance?

In fact, Qiao Hao was not sure about the answer to this question.But at least, not refusing does not necessarily mean resisting.What's more, he finally knew that he once had such a position in Shi Dongdong's heart.Thinking of this, Qiao Hao felt sweet and satisfied.Some things, since they exist, must not disappear so easily.

When the last light was turned off, Qiao Hao was still sleepy.The person next to him was sleeping quietly, motionless, his voice could hardly be heard after the distance of two bedside tables.

"Dongdong... are you asleep?" Qiao Hao couldn't help calling out.

Unexpectedly, the person over there moved his body, as if lying on his back.

"Soon." There was a muffled voice.

"I think I'm really happy today..." After waking him up, Qiao Hao was at a loss for words again, "...the concert was really good."

There was a chuckle from there, but no answer.

"Tomorrow..." Qiao Hao began to feel lost when he thought of leaving tomorrow, so, without knowing where the impulse came from, he asked, "There will be another show tomorrow night, do you still want to go?"

"Sad resident doctor, are you not going to work?"

"Actually, I'm still fake, and at most I'll be scolded by the director. Anyway, I won't be scolded less by him." Qiao Hao gritted his teeth, and said all the words, let's talk to the end.

"But, we don't have a ticket." Shi Dongdong's voice was very soft, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"You can go to the scene to find scalpers. Aren't there many such people today?"

"...Aren't there many people who didn't buy tickets today?"

"It's a big deal to squat outside the vegetable shed to listen. Anyway, the sound effect is the same, and we know how the people inside sing."

"You're crazy..." Shi Dongdong seemed to laugh again, and then there was a long silence.

Qiao Hao almost thought that he had fallen asleep and felt lost when he heard another voice from the other end, "Okay, let's listen to it again tomorrow."

"Really?" Qiao Hao heard himself asking in a substandard manner.

This time, Shi Dongdong probably really fell asleep, because Qiao Hao didn't wait for his answer until he felt sleepy.

This night Qiao Hao slept soundly and deeply, because of tiredness and peace of mind, it doesn't need to be too long, as long as he knows that he can still be with him tomorrow, he feels peace of mind.

After a night without dreams, Qiao Hao vaguely heard a sound when it was approaching dawn.The sound was not loud, and Qiao Hao, who was half asleep and half awake, didn't take it seriously. He just turned over and was about to squint again.

The direction of turning over was facing another bed, Qiao Hao opened his eyes slightly, because he knew that he could see someone's, perhaps extremely cute sleeping face.

However, the pillow opposite was empty——

Qiao Hao opened his eyes almost immediately, sat up reflexively, and then called out, "Dongdong?"

There was no response in the room except for the exhaust sound of the air conditioner.

As soon as Qiao Hao lifted the quilt, he was worried whether the sound just now was because Shi Dongdong fell in the bathroom.

However, the bathroom door was open, and there was no one in it.

There was no sign of Shi Dongdong in the whole room, including his backpack.

Qiao Hao's mind suddenly became fully awake, and it felt as if a cold air rushed to his forehead——Shi Dongdong is gone!

Regardless of wearing only a T-shirt and beach pants, Qiao Hao ran straight out of the door. He thought that Shi Dongdong should not have gone far, if the sound just now was the sound of closing the door.

It's just that the elevator has gone down to the first floor, and Qiao Hao felt that his hands and feet were cold. If Shi Dongdong really left this time, then he would not be so lucky to meet him in some park again.

Qiao Hao ran down the stairs. His legs didn't know whether it was because he had just recovered from sleep or because his heart was beating fast. The frequency of going downstairs seemed uncontrollable, so fast that Qiao Hao felt that he might roll down the next second. .But even so, he still felt that he would be able to catch up with Shi Dongdong, because they would not be separated so easily.

When he ran out of the hotel gate, Qiao Hao realized that the sky was not bright yet, and it was gray outside.He took a deep breath of the fresh air, and when he was hesitating whether to turn left or right, he caught sight of the backpacker walking not far from the gate.

The beating heart finally returned to its original position, but what followed was a burst of irresistible anger.

Qiao Hao stood on the spot and shouted loudly, "Shi Dongdong, stop!"

There were no pedestrians or vehicles on the street in the early morning, and the shout seemed unusually abrupt.

Shi Dongdong stopped almost immediately and turned around.Then, he saw Qiao Hao walking towards him slowly step by step.

It was only when he walked in front of him that Shi Dongdong could clearly see the expression on the other person's face, frustration, disappointment, anger, doubt... It was more of a kind of unbelievable waiting, waiting for him to give an explanation.

In Qiao Hao's eyes, Shi Dongdong was carrying a backpack, which even contained the two light sticks they used to watch the concert before, and the whole person just looked at him so firmly, like a thief who was caught on the spot, because Dazed by being discovered, he was so shocked that he forgot how to explain his exoneration.

Finally, Qiao Hao sneered, pulled out the fluorescent stick from Shi Dongdong's backpack almost rudely, and threw it on the ground.

"You said you want to go to another concert, so it turns out that you are the only one to go to the concert, right?"

Shi Dongdong didn't make any excuses, but just lowered his head and looked at the light sticks on the ground.

Qiao Hao was even angrier, when he thought that this person was performing another escape, and when he thought that if this escape was really successful, then maybe he really would never see him again.If this was his original plan, then what was the agreement last night?What was that kiss under the street lamp?

"The vegetable shed is only that big, aren't you afraid of bumping into me there!" Qiao Hao roared.

Shi Dongdong still didn't open his mouth, just bent down to pick up things on the ground.

"If you want to go, go quickly, why do you still bring these things!" In a rage, Qiao Hao stepped on the light stick on the ground. He only felt that all the dazzling beauty of the night before had turned into this at this moment. A hypocritical premeditation turned into a kind of charity before leaving.

The person at his feet lowered his head, and his picking up froze because of Qiao Hao's trampling.

However, he did not stand up for a long time.

Qiao Hao took a deep breath and raised his head.He knew that he was too excited, but he hoped that Shi Dongdong would give him a decent explanation next time.Although, there can be no such explanation.

The waiting time seemed unusually long, and the man didn't even stand up.

Qiao Hao felt uneasy in his heart, and finally lowered his head to take a look.

This look made his whole heart lift up again—Shi Dongdong sat on the ground slumped and hugged his head with his hands, trembling silently.

"Dongdong, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Hao's voice was also a little unsteady.He squatted down hurriedly, and supported Shi Dongdong, his entire face could be seen to be pale under the not so bright sky.

"Where is it uncomfortable? Is it a headache?" Qiao Hao tightly held Shi Dongdong's hand, feeling that he was going to panic. He had never experienced Shi Dongdong's real illness.

The person in front of him had his brows tightly furrowed, as if every breath was laborious, not to mention talking.

Qiao Hao was afraid that he would go into shock from the pain, so he went to pinch him in a panic. All the first aid training before had disappeared in his mind at this moment.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital right away... you'll be fine..." Qiao Hao comforted the person who had collapsed on him with a trembling voice, feeling that he had never been as flustered as he was at this moment.In a strange city, there was no one to call for help on the road, he didn't even know where the hospital was, and he didn't even have a mobile phone on him.

He wanted to go to Shi Dongdong's mobile phone to dial 120, but he couldn't find it in a hurry. He stayed for a second before thinking of looking in his backpack. A pill box, Qiao Hao felt his heart ache when he saw that it was just a painkiller like Fenbid.

"I'm fine... I'll take it easy for a while..." Shi Dongdong finally managed to make some noise, and helped Qiao Hao to stand up by himself, but failed.

"Don't move! I'll carry you to the hospital!" Qiao Hao looked at Shi Dongdong's weak appearance, and was extremely annoyed by his previous temper.Just as he was about to carry him on his back, a light suddenly shone around him, and a car drove up to them from nowhere.

Qiao Hao was about to ask the driver for help as if he had received a savior, when someone in the cab shouted to him, "Come up!"

Qiao Hao's eyes widened, and he saw clearly that the person in the car was Chen Zhi.
