He is wild and cowardly

Chapter 39

    Nothing happened to them in the back? Awei packed up his things and got up to slip away. When he passed by Chi Ying, he asked him, "Go back or what? Let's eat together?" "No." Chi Ying lowered his eyes and packed his things

. "You go first, I'll wait."

Awei wanted to ask him why he was still there, but seeing that he was really not in a good mood, he thought that Zhuo Shi might come over to talk to him, so he patted him Shoulder,? Said: "Then I'll contact you later, Brother? I'm leaving first."

"Well, see you later."

The staff came up to pack the equipment, and other guests stepped off the stage in twos and threes.

When Chi Ying went to the backstage bathroom to wash his hands, he happened to hear a familiar voice on the phone connection from the front desk.

He turned on the faucet and splashed the water on his face. Tao and Shu's voice flowed into his ears through the dripping water, which was slightly different from when they were talking face to face.

There is a kind of hoarseness that has been distorted by the current, which seems a little strange.

He turned off the faucet, and listened intently—for a while, he heard Tao and Shu congratulate the team that won today, and wish the League of Legends better and better.

If it is very situational, the tone is processed and sweet.

The connection time is very short, no more than one minute.

Before Chiying could finish washing her hands, it was over.

Chi Ying took out a piece of paper to dry her hands, threw it into the wastebasket, and went out.

When passing by the stands separated by the door, he glanced in, not deliberately, and naturally thought of the game half a month ago, Tao and Shu sat under the stage, with smiles on their faces separated Far away, but also very clear.

At that time, he said "I have a player who supports me", and he said "I hope he will be successful".

Chi Ying couldn't describe the feeling at that time, but he felt that he would never forget it in his life.

It was a feeling of suffocation like the blood was flowing backwards in his body, and he felt as if his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

Chi Ying's pace paused, and after a while, he took out a cigarette, took a step sideways, and half leaned against the wall.

There is no need to wear a team uniform for exhibition games, so today he is wearing a jacket from a long time ago. There is only half a pack of cigarettes left in his pocket, and there is no lighter, so he took it out, but only held it in his mouth, and did not light it.

He felt that he might be a little dazed.

How did he feel that Tao and Shu would come over today?

I didn't ask him, and I didn't confirm again, so I just came here.

Chi Ying bit the cigarette holder angrily.

On the night when Tao and Shu came to see him compete, Chi Ying drove him back. After returning to the base, he didn't go in and sat in the car with the engine turned off for a long time.

During that hour, Chi Ying didn't do anything, but just thought about why.

In his 20-year life, Chi Ying has always been good at making decisions, regarding himself and the team, making choices quickly, and then executing them without looking back.

For him, decisiveness is almost a law of survival, and he uses this to avoid many possible continuous pains.

But why regarding Tao and Shu, knowing that he shouldn't, he always has the idea of ​​abandoning himself for a second again and again, hesitating repeatedly between giving in, giving up and taking a step forward.

He—started to think that was fine too.

If Tao and Shu just need a friend, a friend who is not very close but at least relatively trustworthy, then he is also willing to be such a friend for the rest of his life.

Because the farther distance is not unheard of, and the closer distance has never been dared to think, so being able to eat together during the Chinese New Year, and being able to ask him "how are you" when he is sad, is already very surprising and enough. up.

Later, it's not that I couldn't help but want to get closer, but Tao and Shu showed a kind of confused and guarded look, and Chi Ying didn't want to do anything.

It's like Mingming is no longer unfamiliar, but I still habitually want to pretend that I didn't mean it, so I didn't ask him "Are you coming?" If he said yes, he would come here with ten thousand reasons.

I'm afraid it will be too obvious and scare people away.

But inexplicably, I began to regret it again.

I am very sorry.

Because—until this moment, Chi Ying realized that the distance he wanted was not what it is now, not across the screen, not across the phone line, but face to face, where he could see his face, and get used to it when he smiled. Sexually pursed lips, it's best to hold her in her arms.

want to see him.

The urge to see him reached its peak.

After a long time, Chi Ying took out her cell phone and made a call.

The phone was not connected, but there was the sound of tapping footsteps coming up the stairs. The man was talking on the phone while walking. The voice was not much different from the one in the connection just now. Without the electromagnetic wave, it added a touch of clarity and softness.

"Understood," Tao Yushu walked slowly along the stairs, a little lazy and helpless said: "Please don't be so excited, please, please keep your voice down... Well, it's almost here, I'll come down after I finish taking things."

Brother Huang is on the other end of the phone.

At the beginning of the live broadcast, Brother Huang was frowning everywhere when he saw Zhuo Shi. After seeing Zhuo Shi, he was beaten to autism by Chi Ying's unrelenting style of play. He has completely changed. He is in his forties, because of this Feeling so refreshed by a little thing, eyebrows fly to the sky, can't stop laughing, and even praised Chi Ying, saying that he is knowledgeable.

Tao and Shu knew that it had nothing to do with Chi Ying's understanding of the industry.

Chi Ying probably had this kind of character originally, not someone who would flatter and cater to anyone, looked cold and calm, but also a little youthful and arrogant, in fact, he was arrogant in his bones, so there was no question of whether to let it go or not , it's more likely that he didn't think about it at all.

But Tao and Shuzhen thought of their anniversary again, and felt that the statement "doesn't exist or not" needs to be considered, at least a qualifier should be added-"Wait, there is a call coming in.

" With a vibration of a certain frequency, Tao Yushu moved away from his ear, took a look in front of his eyes, saw that it was a series of unremarked numbers, and asked Brother Huang on the other end, "The last four digits of Brother Chen's phone number are 0420? "

No," Brother Huang said, "he wouldn't call you, would he? I didn't give him your number either... And I told him to just wait in the background, and we'll go get it." Half an

hour A few days ago, not long after the on-site connection was completed, the person in charge of the game party called and said that they had new accessories for them. Brother wants the address to mail.

The recording studio was not too far from the stadium where the live broadcast was being broadcast, so he was afraid of the trouble of mailing, so Brother Huang said that they would go and get it by themselves.

"Then hang up first," Tao Yushu said, "I'm afraid someone might find something wrong with me."

His private number is not public, and anyone with his mobile phone number cannot be a stranger.

Tao and Shu cut off the call with Brother Huang, transferred to another one, and said "Hello", but no one spoke on the other end.

He took a look away in confusion, and heard two low "hmm" coming from the microphone and above his head-front-back but voice-coherent.

Tao Yushu froze, looked up following the voice, and saw Chi Ying holding the phone by his ear.

Chi Ying stood on the platform more than ten floors away from him, holding the phone in his right hand and sticking it to his ear, with a gray coat on his shoulders. He stood very straight and tall, but his head was slightly drooping, and his eyes were very sharp. He looked at Tao and Shu intently.

"Why are you here?" After being surprised, Tao Yushu glanced at the screen of the mobile phone that was still showing the call, and realized it belatedly, raised the mobile phone and asked him, "Did you call me?"

Chi Ying still looked down at him, but didn't take off the phone that was placed next to her ear, and didn't speak.

Tao and Shu looked at him with a slightly confused expression.

After a while, Chi Ying finally said "um".

Tao and Shu were even more inexplicable, but seeing that he didn't cut off the call, they also thought it was so funny, paused, and with a smile, said to the microphone: "Call me?" Chi Ying said: "No.

"

Tao Yushu blinked his eyes: "Then what are you going to do?"

"It's nothing."

His voice was already low, and the lower the voice came from the microphone, it was more like a magnet was falling on Tao Yushu's ears. Numb.

And the ears seem to be connected to the heart, Chi Ying speeds up a little every time he says a word.

The two of them were talking on their cellphones across a staircase. If this scene was seen by others, it would be called weird, but neither of them noticed it.

"It's fine, so why did you call me?" Tao Yushu asked him with a smile.

"Can't you call if you have nothing to do?"

It didn't seem like Chi Ying would say this, Tao Yushu was stunned: "That's not what it means..." The

other side was quiet for a few seconds, and said softly: " It's not that I'm okay, I just want to hear your voice."

Tao Yushu raised his head, his breathing lagged for a moment, "...What do you mean?"

Chi Ying met his eyes, did not avoid them, his pupils were dark, and his eyes But Qingming, with a pleasant chest voice as usual: "That's what you think."

Tao Yushu held the phone, his pupils dilated slightly.

He seemed to wake up suddenly at this moment - he realized that this conversation - was not what he thought in the beginning.

In other words, it has always been what he thought.

Chi Ying stared at him, not missing every expression of Tao Yushu.

But the emotional changes on Tao Yushu's face were too obvious, from the ease and joy at the beginning to suddenly full of panic and anxiety, it hardly required him to make a special distinction, it was already hard to be ignored.

That expression made people sad, if possible, Chi Ying hoped that such an expression would never appear on his face again in his life, at least it shouldn't be caused by himself.

After a long while, Chi Ying twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, took the phone away from his ear, pressed the end call button, stuffed it into his pocket, and said, "I heard it now." Tao and Shu listened to the busy tone from the

microphone , opened his mouth, wanted to speak, but couldn't speak.

His gut told him it shouldn't be like this, but he couldn't say anything else.

He just managed to dodge a not-so-sophisticated suitor with ease, but when he arrived at Chi Ying's place, there was only a blank space and a series of chaotic heartbeats left in his mind.

The air was quiet for a long time.

Tao Yushu didn't notice that Chi Ying was holding an unlit cigarette in his hand behind him.

I don't know if it was five minutes, or only three minutes had passed, Chi Ying's posture didn't change, but he seemed a little more depressed and restless, which was hard to appear on him.

In the end, Chi Ying opened his mouth, broke the embarrassing silence, and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

Tao Yushu's throat moved, as if he had finally learned to speak: "Yeah."

Chi Ying nodded, "Then You go, I'll go back first."

Tao Yushu felt that he had messed things up badly.

"Wait." Chi Ying

turned around: "What's the matter?"

Tao Yushu's tongue was tied, and he still didn't dare to look at him, so what he wanted to say turned into a meaningless nonsense : "Well, where do you go to the staff lounge?"

Chi Ying looked at him for a while, and then pointed him in the direction.

Tao and Shu whispered, "Okay."

Chi Ying turned and left.

Passing a corner, he threw the cigarette in his hand into the trash can.

Tao Yushu froze on the spot for a while, a ball of wool that could not be found in his mind, and he wanted to scratch out of his depression.

After struggling for a while, I finally remembered that there was still work to do.

He walked in the direction Chi Ying pointed.

It shouldn't be a difficult place to find, and Chi Ying is definitely not the kind of character who deliberately points people in the wrong direction after failing to confess, so three minutes later, when Tao and Shu found themselves lost, they quickly realized how much they had just done. Distracted.

When Tao and Shu turned into the bathroom next to the corridor, they still couldn't digest the fact that "Chi Ying seems to really like her, and she seems to have confessed to herself".

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that whether it was Weibo push or the little blue rabbit, it wasn't his overthinking.

But his vague conjecture was confirmed, and he didn't seem to be happy or unhappy. The only thing he seemed to be was depressed. The reasons included the back of the person who just greeted him and turned away, and his face that wanted to restrain himself but didn't hide it well. lost.

Tao Yushu thought, if given the right opportunity, he would definitely not have the reaction just now.

That late welcome might not have that expression.

But let him think seriously, but he really can't think of what is "a more suitable time".

The phone in his pocket started vibrating again, and the sound was disturbing. Tao Yushu let it ring for a while before taking it out to check. It was Brother Huang calling, so he could guess what he was going to say without answering it.

Tao Yushu didn't answer, and waited for the voice to stop before returning to a WeChat message, saying "immediately".

Putting away the phone, he washed his hands, and patted his cheek with the back of his wet hand, trying to wake himself up a bit.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a footstep behind him. One of the doors in the toilet cubicle was opened, and a person came out.

The eyes of the two met in the mirror, and they both froze.

Within two seconds, Zhuo Shi greeted first: "Little Brother Tao."

Tao Yushu looked at him for two seconds, wiped his hands with a piece of paper, nodded coldly and perfunctorily, without even smirking: "Yes."
