Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 112
[Chapter 112]
Tao Huainan completely confused Shi Kai and Pan Xiaozhuo, and Ji Nan said, “I didn’t say anything last time, let you come out and lead the glasses.”
“That’s right,” Tao Huainan also said. “You mentioned Xiao Zhuo on purpose, I thought you wanted to see him.”
“Why should I see him!” Ji Nan sneezed and said carelessly, “Let’s play with him! That’s my brother Kai after all. My little friend, why don’t you take care of it!”
Tao Huainan felt like he was being slapped with laughter.
Chi Cheng didn’t want to stand after drinking, so he took Tao Huainan’s hand and pulled forward, wanting to leave.
Tao Huainan waved to Ji Nan and said, “Goodbye Nan! Let’s talk later, we’ll go first!”
“Let’s go, you two, I’ll play with them for a while.” Ji Nan raised his arm and said.
In the middle of the night in the twelfth lunar month, the kind of cold that freezes the bones. Tao Huainan held Chi Cheng’s hand in his pocket, and Chi Cheng walked a little hesitantly after drinking.
There was a taxi parked on the side of the road, and the two got in. Tao Huainan reported his home address. The driver in the car didn’t open the fire or turn on the air conditioner while he was waiting for work. It was freezing.
Tao Huainan was shivering a little, and even his teeth were chattering.
Chi Cheng frowned and looked at him with half-open eyes, leaned there and asked the driver in front: “Is the air conditioner turned on?”
“It’s on, the water temperature hasn’t come up yet, just run for a while!” the driver said.
Tao Huainan thought he was cold and would take off his clothes when he opened the zipper.
Chi Cheng opened his double eyelids again. Every time he frowned and stared at people, it was easy to get double eyelids, which was very fierce. Tao Huainan could not see that he was fierce, but only felt that Chi Cheng had opened his hand to pull the zipper.
Tao Huainan didn’t understand what he meant, so he took off his jacket and put it on Chi Cheng. People who drink too much either burn hot, or get colder than sweat.
The clothes had the messy smell of the house when they ate just now, and it was also cigarettes and wine, and mixed with the smell of vegetables. But these unpleasant smells were also mixed with the fragrance of Tao Huainan’s body, a very shallow milky fragrance.
Over the years, Tao Huainan has not replaced the milk-flavored shower gel, even if he is so old.
This kind of light milky fragrance can bring people’s memory back to a long, long time ago, when I was surrounded by stinky people every day.
Some children are born with the smell of milk mutton, and some children only have the smell of rural kang that cannot be washed off.
Chi Cheng buried his nose in the hat on Tao Huainan’s clothes. The drunk person’s breath was thick and heavy, and the smell of Tao Huainan was in his nostrils.
Tao Huainan touched his face, it was cold when he touched his ears, and then he gently rubbed his ears, asking him if it was uncomfortable.
Chi Cheng closed his eyes and covered Tao Huainan’s coat, and said, “It’s uncomfortable.”
“Do you want to vomit?” Tao Huainan asked.
Chi Cheng shook his head slowly, but the driver didn’t hear any reply, so he quickly said, “Don’t vomit in my car, if you want to vomit, tell me in advance, I’ll stop!”
Tao Huainan said, “I see.”
After that, no one spoke in the car, and the female announcer on the late-night radio was very gentle, reciting a dry emotional monologue. Chi Cheng closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, Tao Huainan sat beside him and held his hand.
“Tao Huainan…”
Chi Cheng’s voice was too low when he called him, and the voice was on his lips, almost murmured. But Tao Huainan’s ears were good, and he heard it right away.
“Hey, I’m here.” Tao Huainan got a little closer to him, leaning sideways to his mouth: “What’s wrong? Not feeling well? Feeling sick?”
“Are you cold?” Chi Cheng’s voice was still vague Yes, not clear.
“I’m not cold, are you still cold?” Tao Huainan stretched out his hand from under the hat and touched Chi Cheng’s face again, feeling not too cold, and scratched Chi Cheng’s face with his thumb.
Chi Cheng nodded slightly, but Tao Huainan could hear the little sound of his chin rubbing against the fabric.
The hotel is far from home, even if there are basically no cars on the road at this time, and the driver is running all the way, it is still enough to drive for a while.
The car warmed up a little bit, and the heating of the air conditioner finally warmed up a bit, and the dry warm air with the smell of an old car was blowing, and it was not so cold.
Chi Cheng never took off his clothes, the clothes were covering him, and the hat covered half of his face.
“Tao Huainan.” Chi Cheng called him again.
“Hey,” Tao Huainan responded immediately, “I’m here.”
Chi Cheng’s voice was originally heavy, but now that he drank, it sounded more magnetic.
“Am I being too cruel?”
Tao Huainan didn’t expect him to say this. He was stunned for a while, and then said, “You didn’t.”
“I really thought about not wanting you, when I just left.” Chi Cheng’s voice Covered under the hat, the volume was only loud enough for Tao Huainan to hear, but not enough to reach the ears of the driver in front.
“Even though the time is short,” Chi Cheng would have a pause before he finished a small sentence. When a person speaks the truth slowly like this, he will appear to be calm and lonely, “But it really happened.”
Tao Huainan listened to him silently, his palm pressed against the back of Chi Cheng’s hand.
“Am I ruthless,” Chi Cheng asked in a low voice, “Tao Huainan?”
He said this, and every word broke Tao Huainan’s heart. He couldn’t bear Chi Cheng’s words like that, Chi Cheng sounded too sad.
Tao Huainan’s voice became hoarse and replied, “You have never been cruel.”
Chi Cheng moved his hands and intertwined his fingers with Tao Huainan. Half of their hands were hidden under the clothes and half were not. Chi Cheng scratched the back of Tao Huainan’s hand with his thumb. The skin on the back of his hand was very slippery. Chi Cheng used to like to play with his hand, and he liked to pinch the soft flesh on the belly of his fingers.
“I can’t understand no matter how much I think about it, and then I don’t want to.” Chi Cheng’s chin was raised under the hat. Just now, the clothes slipped a little, and he pushed the hat up again with his nose to cover it. His half face.
“Have you called me?” Chi Cheng asked him.
Tao Huainan shook his head and said, “I don’t dare.”
“Except for the one time the phone broke, and the few times when the battery ran out… I haven’t turned off the phone for five years.” Chi Cheng said calmly, “I’m used to charging it. If I go out without a charger, I don’t even touch my phone to prevent it from draining power.”
Tao Huainan’s eyes were completely red.
Chi Cheng closed his eyes and asked, “Why did you say that?”
Tao Huainan was speechless, his heart ached so hard that he could hardly breathe. But Chi Cheng was waiting for him to answer, Tao Huainan paused for a few seconds, and said in a hoarse voice: “You…wait for my call?”
Chi Cheng said, “Wrong.”
Tao Huainan breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Chi Cheng was actually been waiting for him. What he was most afraid to hear these years was the phrase “Tao Huainan, I hurt”, but he kept listening to it for the past few years. Every time I feel pain, I will turn it out, so that I can make myself more painful.
“I didn’t wait, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to pick it up if you hit me.”
Chi Cheng cleared his throat and continued: “In case you are in danger and get lost, you can only find brother and me. Brother, get busy. I can’t find it, I can’t and can’t find it. I have to let you find me, Tao Huainan.”
Tao Huainan lost his voice completely, turned his face in Chi Cheng’s direction, opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything. The brain seemed to be emptied in an instant.
Chi Cheng still held his hand and gently rubbed his fingertips against his tiger’s mouth.
“Why don’t you tell me what you think?” Chi Cheng opened his eyes, turned to look at Tao Huainan, and asked, “Why did you give up on me?”
Tao Huainan shook his head vigorously, and Chi Cheng’s last sentence just hit him directly. He was wearing a pair of clothes, and now his hands are shaking in pain.
“I didn’t… give up on you.” Tao Huainan arched his back, resting his forehead on his lap, breathing hard.
The driver glanced at them in the rearview mirror and thought that drunk people were sick.
“I can’t hear your explanation for the rest of my life.” Chi Cheng’s throat was a little dry, he frowned and coughed again, “Is there a reason for me?”
Tao Huainan shrank there, not intending to hide What, he said hoarsely, “You’ll only hate me even more… I’m sorry little brother.”
“It’s my business whether I hate it or not.” Chi Cheng stared at him and said, “I really hate you, I want to see you laugh. , I want to be nice to you, but it makes me think I…” The
sharp words were in his mouth and he swallowed, and Chi Cheng closed his mouth before he finished speaking.
After so many years, Chi Cheng has not spoken so many times in his heart. He doesn’t like to analyze himself. People who have been wearing armor since childhood, talk too much and appear to be emotional, which is very embarrassing.
Today’s remarks may be due to alcohol, or it may be that his recent silence is destined to have this explosive question.
Tao Huainan has been stuck in a dead corner, and the word Chi Cheng swallowed was more uncomfortable than slapping him. Chi Cheng Tao Huainan, who had been drinking, couldn’t hold back, and he was reluctant to say more.
“I was…” Tao Huainan arched a weak arc on his back, clasped Chi Cheng’s hand and said, “I can’t hear.”
Tao Huainan almost said in an air voice, “I’m deaf.” The
driver snapped . He looked up and looked at them in the rearview mirror.
There was a long silence in the carriage, Chi Cheng lowered his head slightly to look at Tao Huainan, kept watching, kept watching.
Tao Huainan’s palms were sweaty, and the palms they held together gradually became wet and cold.
The hat still covered half of Chi Cheng’s face, only showing his eyes.
Tao Huainan gave Chi Cheng his coat. He only had a sweater on his body. Inside the sweater was a shirt. The collar of the shirt was exposed at the bent neck, and a narrow sleeve of the shirt was exposed at the wrist.
He has always been a decent and refined boy, cute when he was a child and gentle when he grew up.
Now he was trembling under Chi Cheng’s sight, not daring to raise his head, facing the silence at the moment with an embarrassed attitude.
The master driver also knows that now is not the time to stop, and there is no more natural time to take detours than now. It seems impersonal that he does not detour. He turned off the radio, and the car was silent as if the passengers were asleep.
The car turned slowly on the dark street.
Chi Cheng was looking at Tao Huainan at first, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He turned his head and turned his face to the direction of the car window, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down slightly, but he didn’t say a word.
The light of the opposite turning car flickered, and the dazzling light entered the car briefly for a moment. At the corner that flashed by, Chi Cheng’s eyes flashed indistinctly for a moment.
