Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 89

[Chapter 89]

Chi Cheng’s sentence “Impossible to forgive” slammed down, Tao Huainan stood at the door and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound.

Chi Cheng is Chi Cheng in the end, he is the most gentle, and he is the most determined.

Later, Tao Huainan went back to the room by himself. When he came out, he forgot to take the room card in a hurry. When he went back, he realized that he couldn’t get in. So he wiped his face clean and turned to go to his brother’s room.

Brother Tang opened the door. When he saw it was him, he smiled and asked, “Do you want to sleep with him tonight?”

“I don’t want to sleep with him, he squeezes me.” Tao Huainan walked in and said, “I forgot my key card. , It’s too far to go downstairs to the front desk, Brother Tang, please call me downstairs.”

Tang Suoyan said to him, “Why do you have a problem with your brother.”

Tao Huainan said “hey” twice, sitting by the bed and waiting . Tao Xiaodong came out of the bathroom, bare upper body, wiped his hair and asked him, “What are you doing here?”

“I didn’t bring a door card.” Tao Huainan said.

“Brother Ku finished taking a bath?” Tao Xiaodong really didn’t look like a good brother, and even teased his brother, “You washed it?”

“He washed it himself.” Tao Huainan thought about what happened just now, thinking about it late Cheng’s few words and his own embarrassment, he sat there and said in a muffled voice, “I’ll just stand and listen to the sound.”

“Is your hand not wet?” Tao Xiaodong stood beside him, “I’ll take a look later. Look.”

“No, I didn’t touch the water.” Tao Huainan said.

Tang Suoyan called the front desk and asked him to open the door. Tao Huainan then went back to the door of his room to wait. Tao Xiaodong came out with him and went to Chicheng’s room to stay for a while.

Chi Cheng is more talkative now than before, and he can chat with his brother for a while every day. Xiaodong just put down his things and left to make room for the two of them. However, looking at Tao Huainan’s small appearance, he walked around Chicheng and saw that the two of them didn’t talk about it.

Xiaodong didn’t say anything, thinking in his heart, you two are really struggling.

The two of them have been awkward for so many years, and it is very difficult for Xiaodong to be sandwiched in the middle. He has not been able to bring Chi Cheng back once every trip to Beijing. It is impossible to expect them to resolve their conflicts on their own.

Tao Huainan went back to the room, and as soon as the door closed, he stood against the door for a while.

The rain has not stopped outside, and the violent storm has not stopped, making people feel uneasy. Tao Huainan is no longer afraid of rain, nor will he be startled by the sudden sound of thunder, but rainy days never make him feel comfortable.

All he had been thinking about were Chi Cheng’s words, which he pondered over and over again. This is the most time Chi Cheng has spoken to him since we met again this time. Tao Huainan wants to hide every word he has said.

The rain didn’t come at the right time. The trip could have ended smoothly. Because of the heavy rain, many jobs became difficult, and the return plane couldn’t take off on time.

They had nothing to do with Chicheng on the last day. They were supposed to go to the airport this afternoon, but the plane was delayed, and the three of them were trapped here and couldn’t go back.

I don’t know when the rain will fall, and the wind has been strong. Outside I don’t know where the line went wrong. The Internet at the hotel was cut off, and I couldn’t do anything that needed the Internet. The signal on the mobile phone was barely two bars.

“The boss is going to fly again next week. If he doesn’t make a decision before he leaves, he will have to wait for him to come back next month. Then everything will be cold.” , “I want the project, I want the money.”

“Didn’t I just get the money?” Guo Yiming was leaning on the bed to send a WeChat message.

“I still want it,” Fanguo said ”

sigh”, “I want a lot of money, I want to be a rich man.” His “rich man” made the other two brothers in the room laugh. A rich man, his WeChat name is “Monopoly”.

“What do you want money for?” Guo Yiming asked.

Fanguo’s parents are both civil servants, and the family can’t say that they are nervous, but they are ordinary people, but they have not lost anything to him. But this kid has been thinking about ways to make money since he went to college, and he wants to be a rich man all day long.

“I want to buy a house, I want to buy a car,” Fanguo tapped his fingers on the windowsill, “buy a villa for my parents.”

Guo Yiming still smiled and advised him: “Don’t worry.”

Guo Yiming has a good temper, but he doesn’t like it When speaking, he is a typical good-tempered engineering man. He is tall and tall, and people who are not familiar with him will find him a little boring. He didn’t talk much to Chi Cheng, if only they could not talk much all afternoon when they were alone.

Fanguo is the exact opposite of him. He talks a lot and sometimes is a bit willful. Among the people who are familiar with him at school, Fanguo only gets along best with him, because Guo Yiming can tolerate him, and others have been angry with him. Chi Cheng is like everyone else, he has a stubborn temper, but he doesn’t get angry with others, because he doesn’t really care about anything.

Fanguo groaned in the room, and was told by the boss in the morning that if he didn’t call Chi Cheng, he would just call him and get angry at him.

When the knock on the door rang, Fanguo jumped down from the windowsill to open the door.

Tao Huainan was standing at the door, Fanguo said “hi” and said hello: “Hey little brother.”

“I’m not a little brother,” Tao Huainan reluctantly emphasized again, “You can ask me to order something else.”

“Then you’re not brother Chi, you are older than me and I can only call you brother,” Fan Guo said with a smile, “then I’ll call you Nannan.”

Tao Huainan said, “It’s fine, you don’t. It’s fine, little brother, I don’t sound good.”

“Why is it bad?” Fan Guo closed the door behind him and sat on the window sill again, “Don’t you call me that brother Chi?

” I’m familiar with him too, so I didn’t make up anything else at the moment, I just said with a smile, “It’s because I call him that, so every time you call me that, I always feel like I’m calling him.”

This is Chi Cheng’s room, Tao Huainan came to find him. But Chi Cheng didn’t speak, and Fan Guo was too talkative, so Tao Huainan didn’t say a word to Chi Cheng after he came, but chatted with Fan Guo for a long time.

The two of you said one sentence to another, and they were all nonsense.

Chi Cheng casually lay on his side on the bed, leaning his head on his arms and closing his eyes.

Tao Huainan glanced at him from time to time, then turned back to answer the question.

“Why are you looking at Brother Chi?” Fanguo said, “You can’t see it.”

“Hey, you talk,” Guo Yiming said to him, “you thought about it before you spoke.”

Tao Huainan smiled and waved his hand, saying, “It doesn’t matter. “.

Chi Cheng opened his eyes and took a look. Tao Huainan didn’t know if he was asleep, and asked, “Are you asleep, little brother?

” What.”

“Ah…” Tao Huainan could only laugh again, “I thought I fell asleep.”

Tao Huainan sat in their room for half an afternoon, Chi Cheng fell asleep later, Guo Yiming also fell asleep, Only Fanguo was still talking energetically.

Tao Huainan couldn’t accompany him anymore, he sighed in his heart, stood up and said, “I’m going back first, why don’t you sleep for a while?”

“You sleep too? You can all fall asleep during the day, but I never sleep during the day. .”

Tao Huainan touched the remote control, fixed the air outlet of the air conditioner at the top, and prevented it from swinging back and forth, then said goodbye to Fan Guo and went back to his room.

What Tao Huainan wanted to say to Chi Cheng didn’t come true, Chi Cheng didn’t make a sound from beginning to end, and there were always other people in the room. Tao Huainan lay on his bed and buried his face in the pillow.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Chi Cheng’s words were so familiar that he could recite them in his heart. Every time he thought about it, his heart clenched and hurt.

Chi Cheng took a bite of “younger brother”. The word sounded close, but between the two of them, it was the farthest word.

There are many, many layers of relationships tied to them, but “brother” is the farthest layer. It would have been easier if they had been brothers all along.

The little brother didn’t leave him a way, tore up all his figurines, didn’t leave him any decent, and put all his out of control, greed, and desire in the air. Tao Huainan was like a pile of bones hung with rotten flesh. It was burned by the sun, and the pain was unbearable.

Tao Huainan pressed his phone tightly to his ear and played an audio loop over and over again. He wanted to get closer to the voice, and wanted to… hug him.

Chi Cheng and the others booked a train ticket for the next morning, and they had to take the train to another city and then reverse. The plane really can’t wait, and the rain doesn’t stop. It’s really cool to wait for the project over there.

Tao Huainan didn’t have any chance to be alone with Chi Cheng. After the network was repaired, the three of them had been busy, and they were driving the video to study the plan. The people on the video side kept getting angry.

Fanguo kept saying, “I’ll go back tomorrow, I’ll go back tomorrow.”

Tao Huainan came several times, and he could hear the voice inside at the door. It was so busy inside that he didn’t knock on the door to disturb him.

Tao Huainan couldn’t fall asleep that night, and it was raining outside, making the people in the quiet room even more lonely.

Xiaodong got up early and wanted to take Chi Cheng and the others to the train station. Yesterday, I took the car keys in advance, and today I have to send them away.

Chi Cheng went back and didn’t know when he would see him again. Tao Xiaodong said, “I will go to Beijing for an exhibition in

October.” “I may not be in Beijing in October.” You have to go out for two months.”

“Then I don’t care, you have to go home for the New Year anyway.” Tao Xiaodong put his things in the trunk and said to him, “If you don’t go home, I will make trouble.”

Chi Cheng got into the passenger car, Didn’t speak, just smiled.

It’s early in the summer, and at five o’clock, it’s already very bright outside. There was a cool, comfortable temperature in the air.

Fanguo hadn’t woken up too much. They didn’t sleep until after two o’clock last night, and now they closed their eyes and fell asleep as soon as they got in the car.

The blind stick knocked on the steps, and the sound of “bang bang” sounded in the distance, and someone came out of the building and went down the steps towards them. Walking a little anxiously, I heard the car set on fire and shouted “Xiaodong”.

I couldn’t hear the blind stick hitting the ground through the car window, nor could I hear him shouting “Xiaodong”.

Tao Huainan grabbed the phone from his pocket and called his brother.

The phone hadn’t gotten through yet, Chi Cheng said “wait a minute”.

“What’s wrong?” Tao Xiaodong asked.

Chi Cheng lifted his chin over there, and Tao Xiaodong saw his brother walking towards him while he was on the phone. The phone rang just then, Tao Xiaodong picked it up, and heard Tao Huainan say, “Wait for me to get off, do

n’t drive!” The child was panting after walking, Tao Xiaodong said, “No, please slow down, don’t be in a hurry.”

Tao Huainan ran over and walked to the side of the car, Tao Xiaodong asked him, “What’s wrong?”

“I want to talk to my little brother,” Tao Huainan was still a little out of breath, “little brother, can you come down first?”

Tao Xiaodong glanced at him Chi Cheng, Chi Cheng opened the door and got out of the car.

Tao Huainan took him a few steps to the side. Seeing that he was about to hit the car next to him, Chi Cheng grabbed his elbow and took it forward.

Tao Huainan moved in his direction.

The parking lot is very empty at this time, too quiet. Tao Huainan was still out of breath. They were standing in the middle of the two passenger cars, which was a wonderful place to whisper.

“I fell asleep…” He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and said in the direction of Chi Cheng in front of him, “I waited and waited for a long time last night, but I fell asleep at dawn, and it was almost too late to send you off.”

Chi Cheng looked at him and said “um”.

Tao Huainan’s unsteady breathing was not entirely from the run just now, he was actually a little nervous.

“Little brother, I want to ask a question…” Tao Huainan took another step forward, raised his face, and asked in front of Chi Cheng in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “You have…you are in…love now. What?”

Chi Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked down at him.

Tao Huainan was waiting for him, the trembling of his eyelashes expressed his panic.

“Yeah… Xiang,” Tao Huainan said these words too hard, he almost pressed Chi Cheng and asked in a breath, “Is there any now?”

Chi Cheng still didn’t speak, just glanced at his Face.

Tao Huainan hadn’t slept much all night, and now his face looked a little haggard, but his eyes were full of energy.

“Ask what this is for.” Chi Cheng looked at him and said.

“I’ve listened to what you said, I’ve been thinking about it these past few days.” Tao Huainan clenched his blind stick tightly and said sentence by sentence, “I really can’t hold myself back, I might… Not a good brother.”

Chi Cheng’s eyebrows gradually twitched.

“So?”

“So are you in love now?” Tao Huainan insisted on asking again.

Chi Cheng didn’t want to answer his question, so he remained silent. He answered without saying a word, Tao Huainan let out a long breath, his voice trembling a little: “If you didn’t talk about…”

“It doesn’t matter if I talk or not, Tao Huainan.” Chi Cheng interrupted. He said slowly, “You are my brother, so I forgive you. If you weren’t my brother, I wouldn’t be able to tell you this.”

Tao Huainan closed his eyes, his hand clutching the blind stick unconsciously twitched. trembling.

He didn’t care what Chi Cheng said, and insisted on finishing his words: “You…don’t forgive me.”

Chi Cheng looked at him for a few seconds and asked, “Did you recognize me and then break up with you?”

“Yes, I accept it.” Tao Huainan nodded and said, “I didn’t want you to forgive me.”

After he finished speaking, there was only the sound of each other’s breathing in the small space.

“Then I can’t understand you anymore.” Chi Cheng said after a while, “I think we have a tacit understanding in the past few years, so I don’t need to emphasize what I said to you again.”

Tao Huainan had already prepared enough He said these words, so no matter what Chi Cheng said now, he could hear it.

“I’d rather not be my brother now, and don’t want my forgiveness. I don’t quite understand.” Chi Cheng touched the dry and cracked skin on his lips that he bitten on, and then said, “I’m not mistaken, you are still in your heart. Is there anything else?”

Tao Huainan didn’t look up, Chi Cheng leaned down slightly, leaning on his leg with his uninjured hand, and looked closer to Tao Huainan’s face.

“You…” Chi Cheng asked him softly, “Do you still love me?”

Tao Huainan knew that Chi Cheng was right in front of him, but he opened his eyes to look, but he couldn’t see clearly.

“I—”

“I can’t afford it.” Tao Huainan just opened his mouth, but Chi Cheng cut off his words, he stood up straight, and said, “You don’t need to forgive what you said yourself, then we’ll continue like this, listen to you. Yes .”

Chi Cheng turned around and left, the door slammed shut, Tao Huainan stood there, and after a long time, he sighed softly.
