until the last minute

Chapter 25 Consolation

Zhou Yin's home is a small single-family building with a garden, which looks beautiful during the day, but looks desolate and deserted at night.Li Qing rushed here, but the carved iron gate outside the garden was closed, and he stopped outside the gate, panting heavily with his hands on his knees.

After recovering, he dialed Zhou Yin's number and told him that he was outside.During the few minutes of waiting for Zhou Yin to come out, he looked at the building that was incompatible with the surrounding environment, and many rumors he heard flashed through his mind.

It is said that this remote small western-style building originally had a male owner. Some people have convincing words and have witnessed men coming and going in and out of this house.It wasn't until the farce that Zhenggong personally came to ask for an explanation later that the neighbors gradually realized that the male master of this family would never appear again.

Because the so-called male master never belonged to this small western-style building that looks exquisite and grand to outsiders.

Most people are naturally curious about anecdotes such as Xiaosan and Jinwu Zangjiao. Li Qing remembered the faces who told him the rumors. His expressions are clearly full of interest and exploration——

That's not sympathy, that's a passion for prying into other people's secrets, and the secret and unspeakable excitement that they hope to get.

It's hard to imagine that Zhou Yin grew up in such an environment, and every glance cast on him may have a deep meaning, Li Qing felt sorry for Zhou Yin almost uncontrollably.

The main door of the main house was opened, Zhou Yin trotted over, pushed open the iron gate of the garden, walked up to Li Qing, stared at him for a few seconds before saying: "It's all right now."

Zhou Yin's eyes were more clear and watery against the thick night, Li Qing took a step closer, he knew that he had cried just now, there might be tears in his eyes, he wanted to hug him to comfort him, but when he looked closer, he noticed There is a red mark on Zhou Yin's forehead, and the edge is still slightly damaged.

He lightly touched it with his fingertips, and Zhou Yin's avoidance made him confirm his conjecture, "How did you do it? Who hit you?"

Zhou Yin bowed his head and said nothing, Li Qing held his hand and said in a deep voice, "Take me in and tell me what happened."

Li Qing took Zhou Yin's hand and stepped into this place again, it was very dark and there was no light at first sight.He looked around the whole room, understood instantly, turned his head and asked Zhou Yin: "Is it a trip or a power outage?"

"It tripped, and it would jump off as soon as I pushed the main switch. I called an electrician, and it was too late to come."

"Do you have a flashlight or candles in the house?"

Zhou Yin's hand shrank in his palm, and he replied after a while: "There is a flashlight, and it's at my mother's."

Li Qing squeezed Zhou Yin's cold hand tightly, and asked hesitantly, "Auntie, how are you?"

"Not very good," Zhou Yin paused for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, his voice was full of exhaustion, "The lights in the whole house were turned off just now, my mother was very emotional, I haven't seen her like this for a long time, I don't know why manage."

"That's when you got the forehead injury?"

"Yes, I was afraid that she would hurt herself, and wanted to take away all the utensils she could touch in the room, but she wouldn't let me touch the ashtray, which she prepared for my dad."

Li Qing gripped Zhou Yin's hands even harder.

Zhou Yin smiled wryly, "My mother accidentally knocked the ashtray on my forehead, she was also frightened, she calmed down very quickly, besides crying all the time, I think she still loves me."

"She took medicine and fell asleep. She's fine."

Li Qing's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and Zhou Yin felt helpless, and he was helpless.But now he is more concerned about Zhou Yin's injury, "Where is the medicine box, I will treat your wound first."

Before going upstairs, Zhou introduced the mother's bedroom. The mother fell asleep, and the flashlight was placed upside down on the bedside table, barely illuminating most of the room with the light of the flashlight.The obstacles on the floor had been removed by Zhou Yin just now, the crooked tables and chairs were straightened up, and the bedside table returned to its original state earlier.

The ashtray that accidentally fell on his forehead during the fight just now, the blood on the edge was wiped off, and now it is neatly placed on the bedside table together with cigarettes, lighters, and desk lamps.

Zhou Yin knew that this corner enshrined his mother's hopeless fantasy, and he would not foolishly challenge it again.

In the midst of the mess, my mother was soundly asleep.Zhou Yin tucked up the quilt for her, and walked out of the room lightly.

Li Qing waited for him at the door, saw him come out and patted his head.The two went upstairs, and Zhou Yin found the medicine box. He felt that a small injury would not cause any harm, so Li Qing pushed him to the side of the bed and sat down, dipped a cotton swab with iodophor to disinfect the wound on his forehead, and then pasted it on in a serious manner. band Aid.

Zhou Yin wanted to laugh at Li Qing's fuss, so the corners of his mouth twitched, but he couldn't force a smile out.He was panicking inside, propped his palms on the edge of the bed, stretched his legs to the edge of the bed and dangled.When Li Qing put the Band-Aid on him and turned around to pack the medicine box, he stepped back to the center of the bed, with his legs bent in front of his chest, and his hands hugging his knees.

It is the posture he is most used to whenever he encounters a problem and wants to escape.

"Li Qing," Zhou Yin called him from behind, but did not look at him, "How did you come here so late?"

"That's how I came here, did I come quickly?" Li Qing walked to the bed and opened his hands slightly to him.

Zhou Yin turned his head to look at Li Qing, but he couldn't see clearly, the darkness treats everyone equally, but he was not obsessed with seeing Li Qing clearly, he could imagine the general expression of the person in front of him.

After all, it's not for jokes, Zhou Yin thought almost harshly.He seemed to have just realized that he was guarding against everyone, including Li Qing.

"Come here and let me see if it hurts elsewhere." Li Qing stubbornly asked Zhou Yin to come to him. Zhou Yin was very obedient, and moved to the left side of the bed bit by bit, grabbing Li Qing's clothes with two fingers. horn.

He looked up at Li Qing, "I treated you so badly today, are you angry with me?"

"I threw the money on you and told you to leave, will you be angry with me?" Li Qing asked Zhou Yin back.

"I thought this was the time when your mind was brightest," Zhou Yin laughed, "You did a good job, so you should draw a line with me like this."

"It's not my intention, and I don't want to do it." Li Qing stretched out his hand to Zhou Yin's face, started to examine carefully from the brow bone, and stroked his cheeks, jaw, and neck with rough palms.

Zhou Yin opened his eyes wide, staring at Li Qing's deep pupils, "Have you checked clearly?"

"The inspection is clear."

"Any other wounds?"

Li Qing replied: "Yes."

"where?"

Li Qing touched Zhou Yin's heart, and said in a low voice, "Here, you are very sad."

Zhou Yin was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head, Li Qing's palm was pressed against the back of his head at the right time, gently stroking his hair, the palm slowly slid down to the back of the neck, pinching the most delicate flesh of the back of the neck.

Zhou Yin raised his head suddenly, grabbed Li Qing's collar with one hand, forced Li Qing to bend down, and kissed him eagerly.Li Qing didn't see clearly whether Zhou Yin's eyes were red, and immediately passively got involved in this unexpected kiss.

After the kiss, Zhou Yin still grabbed Li Qing's collar, their lips pressed against each other, and their breath blended.Zhou Yin tilted his head slightly, and asked, "Are you taking advantage of the situation?"

Li Qing gave a rare smile, and answered decisively, "It doesn't count, you asked me to come here."
