Jiang Xi has someone in his heart.

Pei Chongyuan sat at the bar, thinking over this sentence over and over again.

When Qin Song said this to him, Pei Chongyuan immediately felt that cold water had been poured on him.

From his return to the present, he took the shortest time to adjust his state, because seeing Jiang Xi now, he had to act urgently.

He had to tear off the heavy dust brought to him by the past three years like tearing off a layer of skin. Not only that, after tearing off that layer of skin, he had to walk out with a bloody skin on his back. Ask, and he has to say it doesn't hurt.

But in fact, he was in a cold sweat from the pain.

Pei Chongyuan has been a proud person since he was a child, so proud that he is a little conceited.

His family background is not bad, and his studies and career have always been smooth. He has never encountered any potholes, let alone monstrous traps.

This time, even if he escaped cleanly in the end, it would inevitably hit him.

Especially when he saw Jiang Xi now, he felt that the greatest irony in this world was nothing more than that.

But Pei Chongyuan never knew how to admit defeat. He knew very well that if you admit defeat in anything, even a small matter, you will lose for the rest of your life.

Of course, those who bowed their heads and conceded in front of Jiang Xi before did not count. He was giving way and pampering him as an older person.

None of that was an admission of defeat in the true sense of the word.

I couldn't recognize it before, and I can't recognize it now.

Pei Chongyuan tried his best to maintain dignity and reshape his life in the shortest possible time.

Out of work?

Try to find it.

No house or car?

Make money and buy again.

Although he is standing at the bottom of the valley now, he only allows himself to sink for a few days, and then he has to grit his teeth and stand up.

He never worried about losing anything, because he always felt that everything he lost could be found again.

Except Jiang Xi.

From the day the two met, Jiang Xi was the only exception in his life.

But if there hadn't been an accident that year, the relationship between the two would have reached a freezing point, and he would not have known that he liked Jiang Xi so much.

"There's someone in my heart..." Pei Chongyuan drank the wine in his glass and smiled deliberately, "Who is it?"

"Then I don't know, I guessed it." Qin Song said, "Let's not guess what the boss is thinking. We can't figure it out after guessing."

Pei Chongyuan smiled, and then looked at it from a distance.

It wasn't Jiang Xi he was looking at, he was upstairs and couldn't see him even if he wanted to.

What he saw was the gray scarf that Qin Song revealed when he opened the closet to help the guests hang their clothes, which was hanging next to Jiang Xi's coat.

Someone in mind?OK, then I'll dig it out to see if it's me.

"Brother, are you drinking so fast today?" Qin Song saw that Pei Chongyuan's glass was empty when he came back from helping other guests hang up their clothes, "Another glass?"

"I'm not coming, I have something else to do." Pei Chongyuan stood up, "Ask about my renting a house, be tactful, and do me a favor."

Qin Song smiled: "Then I have to think about it, I can't betray our boss!"

Pei Chongyuan smiled: "Okay, think about it slowly, thank you in advance."

When he came out of the bar, Pei Chongyuan stood at the door and looked at the "2008" hanging on the glass door for a while.

Jiang Xi renamed Subway to 2008, the year they met.

Of course, Pei Chongyuan didn't think it was to commemorate himself and their meeting, he wasn't so narcissistic.

He stepped back, to the side of the road, and looked up through the second-story window.

The seat by the window is full of customers, young and energetic, crying or laughing with wine glasses.

But there is no Jiang Xi, whether it is Jiang Xi in 2008 or Jiang Xi in 2015.

Jiang Xi went to the second floor to avoid Pei Chongyuan, but he found that he could not sit comfortably on the second floor, so he simply went to the third floor to watch a movie.

The movie was "The Purple Rose of Cairo" that he had watched countless times, and he even had to memorize the lines.

"I seem to have found the happiness I was after".

He followed the people in the movie for a while, and finally sang this line with the man on the black and white screen before the end of the film, and then suddenly added a sentence in his mind: Look how ironic this is.

This thought made his heart tremble, and he didn't want to start over.

Jiang Xi turned off the projector by raising his hand, stood up to take a glass of water, and drank it all in one go.

The anxiety was relieved, and he rubbed his brows and went downstairs.

When they arrived downstairs, Pei Chongyuan was nowhere to be seen.

"Let's go." Qin Song said with a smile, "Looking for that big brother?"

Jiang Xi glanced at him and ignored him.

"What would you like to drink?" Qin Song leaned over and asked.

"Stop drinking, go buy a bag of dog food for Tail later and go home."

"It's so early today?" Qin Song nudged him lightly, and said with a smile, "Brother Xi, let me ask you a question."

"Say."

"Are you gay?" Qin Song looked at him with a smile, "I look like it, but I don't look like it."

Jiang Xi glanced at him impatiently while slowly arranging the wine on the shelf.

"Tsk, don't look at me like that." Qin Song said, "It's not that I have to gossip, but I just see you being so pure-hearted all day long, and suspect that you might be a..."

"what?"

"Monk."

"……nerve."

Qin Song smiled next to him, a hearty smile.

"Really, you said that we have been here for so many years, these customers come every day, once you grab a handful of handsome men and beautiful women, why haven't I seen any of them that make you fall in love?"

"It's useless for you to think less about these things." Jiang Xi finished tidying up the shelves, then turned around and opened the door of the cabinet inside the bar.

When he saw the rectangular box, he froze for a moment, and then closed it again.

"Is it useless? It's very useful." Qin Song said, "To be honest, when I first came with you, I thought we were going to open that kind of bar, just gay, and I imagined that I could have sex with that young Midea's customers are starting a love story that is so epic!"

"Didn't you be gay, didn't it delay your finding a partner?" Jiang Xi wiped his hands with a wet towel, walked over and opened the closet, "I'm leaving first, you can do your own work."

"Ah... I'm left alone!" Qin Song lay on the corner of the bar, drooping his head and said aggrievedly, "I'm very lonely myself!"

"Look at the opposite side when you're lonely." Jiang Xi put on his coat and smiled at him, "Look at the plum blossoms and quench your thirst."

Qin Song chuckled: "I hate it!"

After buttoning the coat, Jiang Xi hesitated for a moment, but did not move the scarf hanging inside.

He was about to go out, but he heard Qin Song say: "By the way, Brother Xi, the big brother who came today, did you two know each other before?"

Jiang Xi looked back at him: "Why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling," Qin Song said, "but then again, he tricked me today!"

Jiang Xi frowned, turned around, and his face turned cold.

"What happened to him?"

"I don't really care about me. I just want to know where you live."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Xi was relieved.

Just now when Qin Song said that Pei Chongyuan was playing tricks on him, Jiang Xi immediately became nervous. His first reaction was that Pei Chongyuan's nature was hard to change, and he would not forget to tease young boys even when he was down.

When Qin Song explained clearly, what he thought was: It's okay.

Jiang Xi frowned and asked himself in his heart: What are you celebrating?

What are you celebrating?

Jiang Xi has the answer, but he is unwilling to admit it. He will never do the same thing again.

"What did you say?" Jiang Xi asked.

"Then I definitely can't tell him," Qin Song winked at him triumphantly, "I'm on your side."

Jiang Xi smiled: "Go and do your work."

After speaking, Jiang Xi opened the door and went out.

Winter came early this year, and with fury.

It's not even November yet, and it's already very cold.

He stood at the door and pinched his coat collar with his hands to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. After walking a few steps, he even regretted not taking out the scarf.

He stepped on the slippery ground, walked to the side of the car, and got into the car.

It was cold in the car, and Jiang Xi thought about smoking a cigarette, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the lighter.

I couldn't find the lighter, but I saw a silver cuff button sandwiched between the backrest and the seat. It was quite concealed, and it was obvious that it was stuffed there deliberately.

Jiang Xi didn't need to guess to know that it belonged to Pei Chongyuan, just waiting for him to find out.

Jiang Xi took out the cufflinks, suddenly remembered the one he had thrown away before, sneered, opened the car door and walked down, throwing it mercilessly in the trash can.

"It really doesn't give any face at all."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Xi turned his head and looked over.

At the entrance of the convenience store diagonally behind, Pei Chongyuan was looking at him with a smile.

Jiang Xi turned around and looked at him openly, pretending not to understand what he was talking about.

"My pair of cufflinks are actually not cheap." Pei Chongyuan said, "I bought them before, you know."

know.

Jiang Xi knew every piece of Pei Chongyuan's previous clothes, and even the buttons on every piece of clothes.

Not to mention a pair of cufflinks.

"I don't know." Jiang Xi said, "It's all said in the past, who can remember so clearly."

Pei Chongyuan touched the ashes on his nose again, but he could only smile.

Although Jiang Xi has changed a lot compared to before, to a large extent, his attitude towards him has changed.

Seven years ago, Jiang Xi would only be defenseless in front of him, like a real young man, dependent and intimate.

Now he just retreated to the same position as everyone else, and he will never be treated specially again.

"Okay, it's good not to remember." Pei Chongyuan said, "People can't always live in the past, they have to look forward."

Jiang Xi looked at him coldly, then bypassed him and entered the convenience store.

A lighter, two yuan.

After Jiang Xi finished shopping, Pei Chongyuan was still standing there looking at him.

"It's disgraceful for you to do this." Jiang Xi lit a cigarette and said, "Or is it that you are not living well now and want to find someone to improve your living conditions?"

What Jiang Xi said made Pei Chongyuan's face immediately pale, and anyone could tell that it was barbed and full of humiliation.

Pei Chongyuan was sad, but he could understand.

Isn't that right? It doesn't matter what I want now, and I still hang around with others, doesn't it feel like begging for support?

He laughed, and said mockingly: "Then if I ask you to take care of me now, will you take care of me?"

Jiang Xi looked up at him and smiled: "No, there are so many young and lovely college students, why should I look for you."

Pei Chongyuan looked at him, walked over, took the cigarette from his mouth, and took a sip himself.

"Jiang Xi." Pei Chong stayed so close to him that he could even see his own image reflected in the other's black pupils, "I know you are still upset when you see me. You can say whatever you want, and it's okay to vent a little bit." , I suffer, but you can't find anyone else."

After he finished speaking, he took half a step back and looked at Jiang Xi.

"Really, when I'm not around, you can mess with anyone. When I come back, I have to chase you back." Pei Chongyuan smoked Jiang Xi's cigarette and said, "Is that ironic to me?"

He smiled: "It's really uncomfortable to hear, don't talk about it in the future, my heart is pierced like a sieve by you."

"What right do you have to say that?" Jiang Xi looked at him.

As if someone's heart was intact.

"Forget it, that's it for today, I'll have something to do later." Pei Chongyuan took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then returned it to Jiang Xi's mouth, "I kissed indirectly, and I didn't have this trip today. Wait for nothing."

He turned around and walked to the side of the road, suddenly remembered something, and turned back.

"I have something to tell you," Pei Chongyuan watched Jiang Xi crush the cigarette, "I have nothing to do with Xiang Ran, whether you believe it or not, I can't hold others in my heart."
