Chapter 57 Candy House
Now that the conversation has been made, Luo Qinghuai and Huo Zhou don't have to play charades anymore. The two exchange information and discuss the follow-up details in detail.
Huo Zhou's body was too tired. After talking, the boulder on his heart loosened a little, and he couldn't hold it anymore and began to feel sleepy, with his upper and lower eyelids fighting.
Luo Qinghuai patted Huo Zhou's back to lull him to sleep, and he hadn't slept all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, just staring obsessively at Huo Zhou's sleeping face, reluctant to blink.
I like it so much, the kind of liking that makes me feel that the world is beautiful when I look at him.
Huo Zhou slept peacefully, but there was still an imperceptible worry between his brows.
Obviously, he couldn't relieve himself and was still worried.
Indeed, with such a dangerous thing, the situation changes rapidly every day, no matter how much Luo Qinghuai promises, it seems a little pale and weak.In fact, he can't guarantee anything at all, and everyone knows it well.
Luo Qinghuai gently kissed Huo Zhou's brow, wanting to kiss away the worry.
Huo Zhou seemed to notice something in his sleep, murmured "Huai Bao", and then rubbed against Luo Qinghuai's arms.
Luo Qinghuai hugged Huo Zhou, not bothering to think about anything.
Let him be lazy first, a few minutes is also good.
But just as he closed his eyes, Huo Zhou's cell phone rang.
Luo Qinghuai hurriedly covered Huo Zhou's ears, and went to get his cell phone.
I just wanted to put my phone on silent, but I saw "Fat Man" on the caller ID.
Luo Qinghuai hesitated for a moment, got off the bed lightly, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.
"Xiaomi porridge! Where are you? I'm here, why didn't I see it?" the fat man yelled loudly on the phone.
Luo Qinghuai asked: "Where are you?"
Fatty: "You are not millet porridge, who are you?"
Luo Qinghuai said, "I am his husband."
The phone hangs up.
After a while, the fat man called again and asked uncertainly, "Luo Qinghuai?"
"Where does Zhou Zhou ask you to meet?" Luo Qinghuai said, "I'll go see you."
The fat man must have been a little stunned by the shock, so he said the address foolishly.
Luo Qinghuai returned to the room, kissed Huo Zhou on the cheek, and went out to meet the fat man.
When the fat man saw Luo Qinghuai, he felt a little bad: "You, what you said before..."
"It's true." Luo Qinghuai poured a glass of water for the fat man, "What? Discrimination against us?"
"No, no, absolutely not." The fat man hurriedly waved his hands and sighed again, "I see."
Luo Qinghuai frowned slightly: "Why do I listen, is there something in your words?"
"Do you know that Xiaomi Congee is out of the closet?" the fat man asked back.
Luo Qinghuai's hand holding the water glass tightened suddenly: "What did you say?"
"He didn't tell you?" The fat man seemed quite surprised, "Xiaomi Porridge came out to his family after graduating from university. You know, Uncle Huo and the others have loved Xiaomi Congee since they were young. We all envied him at that time and felt that he Fortunately, I met the most enlightened parents in the world. But at that time, my uncle and aunt were going crazy. I heard that my uncle beat him with a belt and kicked him out of the house, saying that he would never recognize him again... "
Luo Qinghuai clenched his teeth tightly, and tasted a fishy and sweet taste on the tip of his tongue.
He and Huo Zhou, it's hard to say who turned the other, maybe they were both born gay, but Luo Qinghuai remembered it very clearly, until he left, Huo Zhou was ignorant of feelings and didn't have a clear idea cognition.
If it wasn't for his phone call to confess, Huo Zhou might just regard him as a good friend, a younger brother, and gradually become strangers as time goes by.Just like his friendship with Xu Yao and Fatty, and many other ordinary friendships.When we meet again, I will be very happy, say "Long time no see", and then get acquainted again or slowly alienate to strangers.
Maybe Huo Zhou has found a girlfriend now and is living a life that satisfies his parents; maybe Huo Zhou will figure it out and still wait for him...
But no matter what Huo Zhou's feelings were, it was his confession that dragged Huo Zhou into the water and forced Huo Zhou to face it.Then he walked away, leaving Huo Zhou alone to bear the pressure and face the disappointment and blame of his family. This is a very irresponsible behavior.
"Now, are uncles and aunts still refusing to recognize him?" Luo Qinghuai asked with difficulty.
No wonder Huo Zhou barely contacted his parents, nor did he mention them.He remembered that when he was a child, Huo Zhou had a very good relationship with his parents, and he would act like a baby with them in high school.
"Don't think too much." Fatty understood what he meant, "I heard that uncle and aunt have accepted it now."
Luo Qinghuai's heart relaxed at first, but then it hurt sharply, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.Of course he hoped that Huo Zhou could reconcile with his parents as soon as possible, but he was sad that he could not accompany Huo Zhou to face difficulties together.
"I didn't expect that he didn't tell you this." The fat man was a little apologetic, "I used to think it was weird, and I never heard that Xiaomi Congee had a boyfriend, why did he suddenly come out of the closet, so it was because of you. Could it be that you have been in touch all the time?" , just hiding it from us?"
Luo Qinghuai understood what Fatty meant. He and Huo Zhou were really young. Although they were noisy when they were young, the friendship of more than twenty years is not just for fun.The fat man felt sorry for Huo Zhou, and had a problem with Luo Qinghuai, but it was hard to say it clearly.
"No contact." Luo Qinghuai said honestly, "We only met a while ago."
The fat man let out an "oh" and didn't speak.
Luo Qinghuai paused, and said, "I like Huo Zhou very much, and I will spend the rest of my life with him seriously."
Fatty didn't know if he could easily say the words of his whole life to him, and asked, "You also came out to your family?"
"I'm alone." Luo Qinghuai said, "I'm the only one in the family."
After finishing speaking, he added: "No, there is still Huo Zhou."
Fatty: "..."
He felt a mouthful of dog food: "Where's your mother?"
In Fatty's memory, Luo Qinghuai's mother was a bit unpredictable, and probably no easier to get along with than Huo Zhou's parents.
"She's gone." Luo Qinghuai said, "Don't tell Huo Zhou about this beforehand."
Fatty didn't expect this to happen, so he let out an apologetic "ah".
Only at this moment did he feel in a daze that Luo Qinghuai seemed to have experienced many things.
"Don't talk about that for now, we'll talk slowly when we have a chance." Luo Qinghuai changed the subject, "I want to ask you something about Long Haojie."
The fat man frowned and said, "Xiaomi Porridge is also asking him, what's going on? Do you still want revenge?"
"It's not revenge, it's just..." Luo Qinghuai had already thought about the reason, "We recently found out that we are being followed all the time, and we feel like his people, so I want to get to know you."
The fat man was startled: "Isn't it? But... Well, actually, I also think he can't see through it now. We didn't grow up together."
Luo Qinghuai said: "Can you tell me everything you know about Long Haojie? We don't want to do anything to him, we just want to know what we know. Don't worry, we won't say yes you said."
The fat man shook his head: "It's okay... I just want to ask, you said he followed you, is there evidence or is it just speculation?"
"It's not far from ten." Luo Qinghuai said, "But this matter has nothing to do with you. You can cooperate with him as you like, as long as you don't break the law and discipline."
"That's different." The fat man said, "Although I want to earn money, I can't earn everything. His family is sorry for your family. If he still comes to find trouble now, it will be too much. No matter how much I want to earn Qian, and I can no longer cooperate with him. Do you remember, you saved my life when I was a child, I can't treat my savior like this."
Luo Qinghuai was a little dumbfounded, but also a little moved: "It's all trivial things, don't take it to heart. There is no evidence yet, I just want to find out."
He didn't dare to tell Fatty too much, Fatty was different from them, he was just an ordinary person, once he knew Long Haojie's identity, it would be very dangerous.
The fat man told Luo Qinghuai about Long Haojie's company, main business, and the relationships he knew.
Luo Qinghuai was very busy, so he left after asking clearly. Before leaving, he told Fatty: "If Long Haojie asks you about the matter I came to find you today, you don't have to hide it from him, let alone try to find out information from him. - He is really harmful to others, and you asked him to scare the snake. If we misunderstood him, it would be even more hurtful. When we find out, we will tell you as soon as possible."
Fatty didn't study after graduating from high school, and has been struggling in the society. He is no longer the fat man who only had brute force when he was a child. He is also very shrewd now.
Hearing Luo Qinghuai's words, he knew that things were not that simple, so he hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, I understand."
After saying goodbye to the fat man, Luo Qinghuai checked the time, guessing that Huo Zhou was still asleep, and went directly to the cake shop opposite the Municipal Bureau.
There are no customers in the store at this time, there is a beautiful female cashier, and the little brother whom I have met a few times before is also there.
Seeing Luo Qinghuai coming in, the two hurriedly greeted him.
Luo Qinghuai stood in front of the glass cabinet and said, "Help me hold this..."
The little brother stood on the outside, heard the words and came to open the cabinet: "Which one do you want..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and there was a sharp object on the back of his waist, which felt like a knife.
The little brother straightened up: "What do you mean?"
Luo Qinghuai asked back: "What's your name?"
The little brother said: "Xiaotian."
Luo Qinghuai asked again: "What's the relationship between you and Huo Zhou?"
Xiao Tian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
Luo Qinghuai moved the tip of the knife forward a little.
"Don't, don't, don't..." Xiaotian said helplessly, "Anyway, I also helped you. If you treat me like this, you will avenge your kindness, right?"
Luo Qinghuai wanted to say something else, but when a customer wearing a hat came in to buy something, he held back.
Xiaotian didn't mean to ask for help, and continued to help him get the cake.
The beautiful female cashier warmly greeted the later customer, who seemed a bit overwhelmed and quickly finished shopping and left.
Luo Qinghuai put away the knife, and said to Xiaotian: "You did the car accident before, didn't you do it on purpose?"
Xiaotian said: "I know you can see it, otherwise you wouldn't write 110 when you stuffed me with cigarettes. But, if you have questions, why don't you just ask Brother Huo?"
Luo Qinghuai did not speak.
He has come to this store to buy cakes several times. The location of this store is so special, and every time Xiaotian's attitude is a little strange.He is an undercover agent, and he will be more sensitive than others when there is a trouble, so he can't help but probe.After coming down several times, he was sure that Xiaotian was not an ordinary cashier, but he just didn't know who he was.
Before they went to trade and had a car accident, when they saw that the courier brother was Xiaotian, and he was being unreasonable and making a scene, Luo Qinghuai guessed that he did it on purpose.So, when he handed it to Xiao Tianyan, he wrote 110 on the palm of his hand.
What Luo Qinghuai thought at the time was that even if Xiaotian didn't know anything, as long as he called the police, the police would definitely track down their car.
But Huo Zhou said today that Xiaotian didn't call the police, but just sent Huo Zhou the license plate number.
In Huo Zhou's description, Xiaotian is just an informant.
Luo Qinghuai didn't ask any more questions, but felt that it was not that simple.
"Stop teasing him." The beautiful cashier turned to Luo Qinghuai, "Handsome guy, let me tell you a secret, the owner of this cake shop is named Huo."
Luo Qinghuai's heart was stabbed hard, and he couldn't believe it: "This cake shop is opened by Huo Zhou?"
"Brother Huo said that his wish was to open a candy store, because the people he likes like candy." Xiaotian smiled and said to Luo Qinghuai, "Later he discovered that there are not only sweets in the world, so he opened a candy store. A cake shop. Have you never noticed that we also sell sweets and chocolates here?"
Luo Qinghuai followed his fingers and looked over. The row of shelves in the far corner was filled with beautifully packaged candies and chocolates.
On the top of the shelf, there is a line of labels: Waiting for Love Series.
