Chapter 192 Campus World: Qi Jingzhi (Extra)
Qi Heng…Uncle Qi?
No, no, I should call him brother, he is my half brother.
When Qi Jingzhi learned this from his father, he felt dizzy.
The world was spinning, and he always felt a sense of absurdity that reality had hit him hard.
Ever since Qi Heng was taken away by that guy named Song Yuyue, there has been no news of him.
He waited and waited, a week, a month, his heart felt like it was being roasted on a fire, and a feeling of uneasiness permeated his whole body.
Qi Jingzhi couldn't eat or sleep well all day. He wanted to see Qi Heng. He didn't know why he wanted to see Qi Heng so urgently.
Even just a glance from a distance can stop the uneasiness in your heart.
"Jingzhi, are you daydreaming again? Are you missing Xiaoheng? Don't worry, Xiaoheng is working beside Song Yuyue. Grandma just received a letter from Xiaoheng last week."
Wang Xiufen spoke lightly, but her complexion was actually much worse than before.
Grandma must be worried about Qi Heng too... Qi Jingzhi thought.
He had a big fight with his parents and is now staying at Qi Heng and his grandmother's house.
That day, I was heading to my father's company from Raccoon Airport, and my mother happened to be there too.
When Wang Xiufen saw her mother's expression, her face turned unhappy and she turned away.
Qi Jingzhi didn't understand what was going on at the time until he sent Wang Xiufen, who had been silent all the way, to the hotel to rest, and then returned to the company, and learned the truth from his father.
My father didn't mention Qi Heng at first, but my mother blurted out that my father had a son with his ex-wife named Qi Heng.
Oh yeah, mother called Qi Heng a little bitch...
Because of this, Qi Jingzhi had an argument with his mother.
When my mother is angry, she always says things without thinking. The more she argues, the more truth she reveals.
Qi Jingzhi was terrified after hearing this, and wanted to see Qi Heng more and more urgently.
Uncle Qi...Oh no, did Qi Heng recognize him?
You recognized him, right? Otherwise, why would you be stunned for so long when you heard his real name in Country M?
Qi Jingzhi didn't think much about it at the time, but when he recalled it now, he found that they were all flaws.
When Dad is away, Mom is hysterical
"Jingzhi, why do you side with that bitch's son?
Your father and I were my first love, and it was that bitch who took your father away!
I took my anger out on that little bitch, is that a problem?! Is that a problem?! The old woman is making a fuss out of nothing! "
Qi Jingzhi's brows furrowed more and more...
"Mother! Qi Heng is innocent. He was still young at the time and knew nothing!
Why do you take your anger out on Qi Heng? Grandma Wang is right..."
Snapped!
Qi Jingzhi was slapped by his mother. His cheek was burning with pain. He covered his face tightly, spitting blood foam and repeating
"Grandma is right. Qi Heng shouldn't be raised by his mother."
After saying this, he no longer looked at his mother, walked around her and walked out of the office building.
From then on, he stayed at Wang Xiufen's house, accompanying the old lady and waiting for Qi Heng.
“Grandma…I can’t contact Qi Heng. The phone call is not going through and the video call is not answering.
Grandma, is there any way to find Song Yuyue?
At least, look at Qi Heng, even if it's through the fence..."
Wang Xiufen suddenly fell silent for a long time. The old lady was in the kitchen and Qi Jingzhi could not see her expression.
But… I felt inexplicably nervous and couldn’t help but ask, “Grandma?”
"Oh, it's okay. I'm just distracted because of my age. Grandma has Gu Mengzhou's cell phone number. I'll send it to you. Call him and ask if you can get Song Yuyue's contact information."
"Okay, grandma."
The phone was dialed, and a familiar yet unfamiliar boy's voice came from the other side of the microphone
"Ms. Wang Xiufen, what's the matter?"
"Um... Gu Mengzhou. I'm Qi Jingzhi. Qi Heng is still working at Song Yuyue's house, right? I want to ask if you have Song Yuyue's contact information?"
The man's bleached golden curly hair was slightly messy, the corners of his eyes drooped, and when he mentioned Qi Heng, the tips of his ears turned red.
Even though he knew that Qi Heng was his half-brother...
But...but...Qi Jingzhi despised himself.
In the dream, there were only men.
He called his brother, and he hugged him gently, with tenderness in his eyes.
When Qi Jingzhi woke up in the middle of the night, his pajamas were soaked with sweat and his heart was pounding wildly.
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line, and after a long while, Gu Mengzhou's hoarse voice was heard.
"Why are you looking for Qi Heng? He's fine and doesn't need your concern."
"I want to see him. I have something to tell him. Hello! Give me Song Yuyue's contact information. Hello?!"
The other end of the phone hung up and a busy tone sounded...
Qi Jingzhi lay back on the sofa dejectedly, scratching his hair in annoyance. His teeth repeatedly rubbed against his tongue stud, a subconscious action when Qi Jingzhi was thinking.
Gu Mengzhou is hiding something... He must be hiding something!
No, he had to go and see, he had to see Qi Heng with his own eyes.
Otherwise...I can't let go...
The only way to find Song Yuyue was Gu Mengzhou, and Qi Jingzhi called him every day, never getting tired of it.
A week later—the phone was finally no longer busy.
"You're fucking *&$¥, right? Want to see Qi Heng? Sure, come over on ** Street** and I'll take you there.
But you must swear that you will never bring Grandma Wang with you."
When mentioning Qi Heng, Gu Mengzhou's tone was filled with unconcealed sadness, and was low and suppressed.
Qi Jingzhi carefully glanced at Grandma Wang who had been listening across the sofa, thinking that since the speakerphone was not turned on, Grandma probably couldn't hear it...
Yes, I definitely didn’t hear it.
On the second day, Qi Jingzhi met with Gu Mengzhou.
Gu Mengzhou had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless. Seeing Qi Jingzhi, he subconsciously frowned and signaled the driver to open the car door.
The black vehicle slowly drove towards the edge of the city, and its position gradually became wrong.
Qi Jingzhi grabbed the handlebars and said hesitantly, "Hey, Gu Mengzhou, I haven't offended you, have I?"
"Tsk, what are you thinking about? I'll take you to see Uncle Qi..."
The driver stopped at a flower shop, got out of the car and went into the store to talk to the owner. His tone was familiar and it was obvious that he came here often.
When the driver came out of the store holding a beautifully arranged bouquet of white and yellow chrysanthemums, the ominous feeling reached its peak.
Qi Jingzhi's voice trembled. "Why...why did you buy chrysanthemums? Gu Mengzhou, before taking me to see Qi Heng, do you want to go to the cemetery to pay tribute to the dead first?"
The cemetery is further up this road. The mobile navigation shows it clearly and there is no deception.
Gu Mengzhou carefully took Chrysanthemum and looked out the window without saying a word.
The car stopped at the gate of the cemetery and a drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky.
The driver took out two black umbrellas from the trunk and handed them to the two men.
"Should I go too? No need, right?" Qi Jingzhi couldn't smile anymore, and felt heavy in his heart.
“…Come down, he’s inside.” Gu Mengzhou turned around and looked at Qi Jingzhi. Since getting off the car, the man has become even more silent, with his eyes visibly red, showing his forbearance.
We walked along a long stone road, passing row after row of tombstones.
From the densely packed nameless tombstones to the famous tombstones, and then to the long distances between each tombstone deeper inside.
Qi Jingzhi saw Gu Mengzhou stop in front of a brand new tombstone, squat down like a stutter, place the chrysanthemums under the tombstone, tears welled up in his eyes, and he muttered something.
A two-character name... He kept repeating those two-character names to the tombstone...
Qi Jingzhi had learned some spoken English, and when he confirmed what Gu Mengzhou said, his heart suddenly turned cold.
He didn't know how he got to the tombstone to confirm it.
I don’t even know what I felt when I saw the black and white portrait and name on the tombstone.
It was as if I had lost all my emotions in an instant and was dazed.
Not long after, another man with white hair and black skin came over.
Qi Jingzhi had some impression of him. He had seen him at Raccoon Airport...
Hearing Gu Mengzhou calling him Li Yubai.
The rain was falling steadily, and not only did it not stop, it was getting heavier.
The three of them had no intention of leaving; they just stood there, silent.
Li Yubai threw away his umbrella and let the heavy rain hit his body, soaking his clothes.
He knelt down, covering his face and his shoulders trembling.
Did you cry? I think so.
Until the dawn...
Qi Jingzhi asked Gu Mengzhou not to send him back to Grandma Wang's house.
"Ah... you're such a bother. Want to find a place to cry in secret? It's up to you."
Gu Mengzhou glanced at the tense Qi Jingzhi, booked a hotel room for him, dropped him off, and the car disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qi Jingzhi entered the hotel room in a daze, and only when the door was closed from the inside did the overwhelming feeling of suffocation engulf him.
He had to accept a reality.
Qi Heng...is dead.
died?
Why would you die?
What happened? ...What happened?
The scene of their final farewell at Raccoon City Airport flashed repeatedly in Qi Jingzhi's mind.
Qi Heng asked him to take good care of Grandma Wang... and wait for him to come back.
Liar…haha…liar.
The tears seemed to be out of control, flowing and flowing, unable to stop.
I feel empty inside...Do you like him? Does he like Qi Heng?
Yes, I like it.
Unfortunately, there is no result.
Qi Jingzhi didn't know how long he cried, he only knew that when night fell, he had to repeatedly apply a bag of ice to his eyelids which were swollen like walnuts.
Only after seeing nothing unusual did they dare to return to Grandma Wang's house.
Qi Jingzhi adjusted his mentality for a long time in front of the door and opened it.
"Jingzhi, have you seen Xiaoheng?"
"Yes, I see you."
"How is Xiao Heng?"
“…Qi Heng is fine, but he has to go on a business trip abroad recently and may not be able to come back for a long time.
Grandma, you have to wait for a long time. "
Qi Jingzhi warned himself that his expression must be natural.
Grandma Wang's health is getting worse and worse, and she can't stand the stimulation...
He was afraid that Qi Heng’s death would be the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
He promised Qi Heng that he would take good care of Grandma Wang...
"Haha, as long as Xiaoheng lives well, grandma will be satisfied.
Ask him to stop sending letters and start more video chats. Grandma has learned how to use your kids’ communication software.”
"Well, I... will try my best." Qi Jingzhi forced a smile.
