Maybe I'm going to buy lunch.

Maybe I've gone to collect rent.

Maybe I went to the door to buy cigarettes.

Maybe the phone is out of power.

...

Before seeing the smoke-filled paper on the table, Cheng Ke could still ignore the reasons why Jiang Yuduo was not in the house, but his phone had never turned off. He comforted himself, he might come back soon.

Now several pieces of cigarette shell paper are placed on the table. Before Cheng Ke even saw what was written on it clearly, he immediately remembered the scene when Jiang Yuduo was writing something on the cigarette shell paper when he finished watching the video yesterday.

He immediately understood.

regret.

Why didn't he care at that time?

Apart from giving people business cards, Jiang Yudu rarely takes the initiative to write things, so why doesn’t he care!

I asked at that time, even if I took a look, I might not have to face today's scene!

"Fuck!" Cheng Ke gritted his teeth and cursed again.

After lowering his head and closing his eyes and taking a deep breath several times, he moved the table that he had kicked and moved it back to its original place, and slowly arranged the cigarette shells and papers on the table one by one.

This is the first time Cheng Ke has seen so many words from Jiang Yuduo.

It's very big and ugly.

The best words written by Jiang Yuduo are probably his signature on the rental agreement.

Cheng Ke. Sorry.

It’s not that I don’t let you pull me. I don’t think you can pull me.

There are a lot of food. You can buy it yourself after you finish it.

Meow to Chen Qing.

Forget it, don't give it to him. Please help me maintain it.

If you don't want to raise it, give it to him.

You are very good. You are really very good.

I like you.

I'm afraid you'll leave before I get better.

I'm especially afraid that you will leave before I get better.

It took me too long to get better.

I'd better do it myself. You can't wait and leave. It's okay.

Tell Chen Qing that I'm leaving. It may take a long time to come back. He knows how to deal with it.

I took half of the towel and toothbrush.

Cheng Ke. I like you very much.

I don’t know how long you can like it. If you don’t like it, just leave.

...

There are a lot of them, and I feel that I have used up all the stack of smoke shells that Jiang Yuduo usually placed under the coffee table.

The handwriting is big and ugly, and there are not many words left in one picture. Some are written neatly, and some are almost unable to recognize what it is.

Perhaps Jiang Yuduo had never written so many words even though he had grown up, and his writing was messy after writing, but after each sentence, he carefully wrote an end.

Cheng Ke didn't know when Jiang Yuduo took or what mood he used to write so many words.

He knows nothing.

He hadn't finished reading these cigarette papers yet. The words on them were so blurred that they couldn't see clearly. He wiped his eyes twice, but tears soon filled his eyes again.

He has always paid great attention to Jiang Yudu's emotions, but this time he attributed all Jiang Yudu's abnormalities to self-harm and... masturbation.

Cheng Ke, are you fucking ejaculated?

"Jiajia!" Chen Qing's anxious voice came from the window.

Cheng Ke was woken up by a shout, quickly put all the cigarette shells on the table, put them in his pocket, and then responded: "Here!"

After quickly entering the bathroom and wiping his face, Chen Qing took the key and opened the door and entered the house.

"Why are you here?" Cheng Ke asked.

"Can I not come!" Chen Qing said, "You said a few words without interruption. I will call you again and you will not answer the phone! Calling the third brother is turned off again!"

"He..." Cheng Ke bit his lip and glanced at his cell phone. Then he realized that Chen Qing had called him three times in a row, but he didn't hear any of them. "He said he would be back for a long time. You know what to do with other things."

Chen Qing was stunned for a long time: "Where have you gone?"

"I don't know." Cheng Ke said.

"Did you two quarrel?" Chen Qing asked.

"No." Cheng Ke replied.

"Then why did he leave suddenly?" Chen Qing asked, "He has never been like this before."

Cheng Ke suddenly found Chen Qing's voice crying, and he quickly glanced at Chen Qing: "Qing'er..."

"Just tell me if he suddenly left like this has anything to do with you!" Chen Qing's eyes turned red and he stared at him and asked, "Is it related to you? I have to find someone to get angry!"

Cheng Ke didn't say anything.

Does it matter?

Of course it has something to do.

But he didn't dare to say it. He could think about it in his heart and mind a thousand times and ten thousand times, but letting him say it was like pulling his imagination into reality, and he couldn't accept it.

Chen Qing stared at him, and the two of them froze in the middle of the room. Finally, Chen Qing pulled a chair and sat down, lowered his head and wiped his tears: "Forget it, it's pointless to scold you."

Cheng Ke stood still and did not move.

"Your face looks very ugly," Chen Qing wiped his tears again, "You sit down."

Cheng Ke glanced at him, sat down, put his hand in his pocket, and tightly squeezed the stack of cigarette shells.

"Have he left you a message?" Chen Qing asked, "Have you said anything else?"

"...It's gone." Cheng Ke said.

"Do you still want to come back after you said it?" Chen Qing asked again.

"I said it." Cheng Ke nodded.

"Then do you think..." Chen Qing looked at him, "Will he come back?"

Cheng Ke was stunned for a moment and turned his head. He didn't expect Chen Qing to ask such a question, and he suddenly felt a little chill of his hands.

"Why are you?" Cheng Ke controlled his emotions, "Say that?"

Chen Qing frowned and rubbed his eyes again: "I always thought that my third brother would leave sooner or later."

Cheng Ke looked at him.

"Sometimes I think he is the same person as us, mixed on the street, he is the boss, and he is the boss, and if something happens, he will cover him," Chen Qing's voice trembled, "But sometimes I can also feel that he is different from us, different from you, and different from anyone."

"Is that right?" Cheng Ke said softly.

"He treats me as a brother, and he is my best friend," Chen Qing said. "We both said everything together, but I know that I told him everything, and he didn't tell me a lot of things, and he would never tell me in his life."

Cheng Ke gently rubbed his fingers on the smoke shell paper.

Chen Qing sat aside, didn't say anything, cried silently for a while, then went into the bathroom to wash his face.

"He doesn't live in this house, and Sister Qian won't take it back," Chen Qing sat back on the chair and wiped the water droplets on his face. "If you don't retreat the house over there, live here first."

Cheng Ke was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought of this in his mind.

"It's not to save money," Chen Qing said. "We have a bunch of brothers. If you know where the third brother has gone, it will definitely be in chaos. Zhang Daqi just suppressed him... You have a different relationship with the third brother. Everyone can see that if you are here, you can still be stable. Whether you gather or disperse, you have to leave time."

"Yes." Cheng Ke responded.

"He helped Sister Qian do things before, I'll just keep doing that," Chen Qing stopped. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly cried out loud. He said while crying, "What else did the third brother say..."

"Qing'er, Qing'er," Cheng Ke was at a loss by his prominent crying, "Don't cry."

"Don't you cry too, do you think I didn't see it!" Chen Qing said while crying, "Your eyes were red when I entered the door!"

Cheng Ke immediately didn't know how to comfort him.

As usual, he will definitely not care anymore. At most, he will sit aside and watch it when Chen Qing finishes crying.

But today is different. Jiang Yuduo suddenly disappeared into his life. He was not mentally prepared. It was like a staircase that had no need to look at the road for ten thousand times suddenly disappeared. He stepped out and fell into a daze.

Looking at Chen Qing now, it seems like he can still catch a trace of Jiang Yuduo.
