a little bit

The snow on the tracks was removed in the afternoon, and the passengers got on the train one by one. Xing Xin was in the front car, and Qiao Qiao was separated from him by two cars.

Qiao Qiao sat back in his seat, lying on the window, and as the train door closed, the scenery outside the window receded slowly, the snow scene on the ridge along the road, clusters of low white clouds and the small town called Manchester They were all left behind a little bit.

He closed his eyes, thinking about what Xingxin had said to him.

Christmas?

He pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing.

When the train arrived at the station, the announcer's voice rang several times. Qiao Qiao opened his eyes and jumped up. He took down his luggage from above, grabbed the suitcase, and ran out.

I slept so sweetly that I forgot the time for a while.

He walked to the platform, threw the suitcase on the ground, and panted on his knees.

The suitcase next to him was lifted up by one hand, and Xingxin walked in front of him. Qiao Qiao raised his head, panting slightly, "I overslept and almost didn't get down in time."

Xingxin couldn't help laughing at his forgetfulness, he stretched out his hand, and as soon as Qiao Qiao's hand was put on it, he grabbed it and pulled him up.

"Let's go, my friend is waiting outside to pick us up."

"your friend?"

Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment. After he stood up, Xingxin let go of his hand. The two walked side by side. They walked outside the station, pushed open the revolving door, and saw a tall and thin boy standing outside.

Seeing Xingxin waving with a smile, he called out "this way", turned his head and looked at Qiao Qiao beside Xingxin, paused his eyes, and said with a smile, "Hi, I'm Qiu Yi."

He had a smile on his face, the kind of bright and cheerful smile that Xingxin had said, Qiao Qiao stared at his smile for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand and gently touched his palm.

Xingxin lives in the relatively densely populated Latin Quarter. It is impossible to get in if you drive outside, and you need to walk.

Qiu Yi parked the car, and then came to look for them. When walking from a distance, he saw the boy who was brought back by Xing Xin looking down at his phone. Xing Xin stood beside him, turning his body slightly , his eyes fell on the child's face, which was soft that ordinary people couldn't see.

His heart skipped a beat, he walked over quickly, looked at the two of them with a smile, "The car is parked, have you guys eaten, do you want to have a meal together?"

"Go back and put your things away first, let's go out for dinner." Xing Xin looked sideways at Qiao Qiao, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I can do anything, I'm not picky eaters."

After about one street, I arrived at the place where Xingxin lived. This area is in the downtown area, and the rent for a house is not cheap, and his father Xinghua rented him a whole three-story building, plus In the eyes of others, the tuition fees and daily expenses for the past few years are a waste of money, but for the Xing family, it may be a drop in the bucket.

Qiu Yi was regarded as accompanying student. He and Xing Xin lived here. He lived on the second floor, Xing Xin lived on the third floor, and the first floor was used as a living room.

The house was cleaned up by cleaners every week, so it was still clean. Xingxin carried his and Qiao Qiao's luggage to the third floor. Qiu Yi watched him go up the back downstairs, feeling a little uneasy.

In addition to Xingxin's room on the third floor, there is a guest room. He put Qiao Qiao's suitcase in the guest room. He said to Qiao Qiao: "Christmas is coming soon. It's hard to find a house near here. You can stay here." Stay with me."

Qiao Qiao originally wanted to find an opportunity to cling to Xingxin, but he didn't expect Xingxin to mention it by himself at this moment. He was too happy to be happy, but the superficial reserve still needed a little bit. He blushed and stammered: : "How dare you?"

Xing Xin tilted his head to look at him, his eyes fell on Qiao Qiao's face, and he asked, "You don't have to be embarrassed to me."

"what?"

Xingxin thinks that Qiao Qiao is cute and interesting, and it’s easy to be with him. When he sees Qiao Qiao, he wants to take care of him. In fact, he doesn’t know what it means. Anyway, he just hasn’t figured it out yet. , the body has already done it.

Xing Xin managed to confuse himself and Qiao Qiao. The two went downstairs one after the other. Qiu Yi sat on the sofa below and waited for them. When Xing Xin walked over, Qiu Yi said, "Can we eat again at night?" Do you want to add a few people? Some students from the Department of Economics and Management would like to have a meal with you."

"Classmates? Duan Yirong and the others?"

Xing Xin lowered his eyes, with no expression on his face.

Qiu Yi paused, and said softly "Yes".

Xing Xin frowned, and wanted to refuse, so Qiao Qiao read Duan Yirong's name after him.

"You know him?"

"Well, I've heard of it." Qiao Qiao pursed his lips lightly, Xing Xin looked at him, turned around and said to Qiu Yi, "Go and tell Duan Yirong and the others, see you at Qi'ao Island at six o'clock tonight."

Qiu Yi didn't expect him to agree so quickly, he replied a text message to Duan Yirong, and when he looked up, he saw the boy leaning next to Xingxin, his chin resting on Xingxin's shoulder, sticking to his ear. Know what's being said.

Qiu Yi was a little embarrassed, he stood up, walked to the kitchen, took out ice water from the refrigerator, took a big mouthful of ice water, and tightened his hand holding the glass, suddenly his body trembled, Qiu Yi greatly Taking a breath, the glass in his hand fell directly to the ground. He clutched his chest and lay down on the table, his body shaking like chaff.

At this time, a pair of hands helped him up, Xingxin frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Yi waved her hands, "I'm fine, I... just take a rest."

"I'll help you upstairs."

Xing Xin supported Qiu Yi, he turned his head and said to Qiao Qiao: "Don't worry about this, go to the living room and sit for a while, I will come down later."

Qiao Qiao looked at Qiu Yi's pale face, he was stunned for a while, and when he heard Xing Xin's words, he pursed his lips and did not speak.

Xing Xin helped Qiu Yi upstairs, Qiao Qiao looked at the broken glass on the ground, although Xing Xin told him to leave it alone, he still picked up the glass, found a dry rag, and wiped the water stains on the ground Dry.

After finishing all this, he sat back on the sofa. Fortunately, Xin hadn't come down yet. Qiao Qiao lowered his head and looked at the intricate carpet under his feet. Thinking of how he saw Qiu Yi just now, he frowned slightly.

Qiu Yi's appearance just now, he had seen in another person.

Duan Yirong also experienced violent tremors and convulsions due to drug addiction. If his guess is correct, then at this time, Qiu Yi should have been controlled by Duan Yirong and his gang.

Xingxin helped Qiu Yi to the second floor. As soon as Qiu Yi entered the room, he pushed Xingxin away and ran into the bathroom.

He closed the door and locked it. Xingxin stood outside the door, only to hear a "bang", he frowned slightly, and took a step forward, "Qiu Yi, are you okay?"

Qiu Yi was inside, and glanced at the door. He rolled up his sleeves, quickly took out a long rubber band from the cabinet under the cistern, and tied it on his arm. Hearing Xing Xin's voice, he paused and walked away. When he reached the door, he leaned his back against the door and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable, I'll be fine later."

"Then you open the door, I'm a little worried."

"I'm really fine, I'll be fine soon."

As he said, he turned on the faucet, and the sound of the water was drizzling, drowning his murmur. He pursed his lips, took out the needle tube from the cabinet, bit the seal in front of the needle with his mouth, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Taking a deep breath, the needle stuck in the arm and slowly penetrated.

As the liquid entered his body, the restlessness in his body seemed to dissipate, replaced by a feeling similar to pleasure and excitement. He leaned against the door and slid down slowly, looking into the air with a relaxed expression on his face. look.

Xingxin stood outside the door, feeling something was wrong. He heard the sound of water, and knocked on the door a few more times, but Qiu Yi didn't respond.

The sound of the water stopped abruptly, Qiu Yi closed his hands on the faucet, he looked at himself in the mirror, his face was haggard and pale, his lips were clenched with blood, and he thought of the boy who was brought back by Xingxin, immature Pretty and vibrant.

He thought, what qualifications do I have to compare, I have already fallen into the quagmire.

The door opened from the inside, and Qiu Yi looked at Xingxin who was standing outside the door. He took a deep breath and smiled, "I'm really fine, I just had low blood sugar just now."

Xing Xin frowned, looked at Qiu Yi's expression, pursed his lips, and said, "Are... are you really okay?"

"It's okay, let's go downstairs, it's not good to let the kid stay downstairs alone."

Xingxin said "hmm", and Qiu Yi came out. He pulled his water-stained clothes, "I'll go and change first, wait for me."

As Qiu Yi spoke, he walked to the closet. He opened the closet door, took off his clothes, and took out one from inside. When changing, he casually asked, "How did you meet that child?"

Xingxin looked at the lines on the floor, he paused and said, "On the train."

"On the train? But you still made a snowman?"

"En?" Xingxin raised his head, Qiu Yi was already dressed, turned around, tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, took out his mobile phone and handed it to him, "A friend of mine sent an ins, and it was his With his boyfriend, uh... and you and that boy."

This is what they took after they built a snowman in the small town of Manchester that day. In the photo, Xingxin put his arms around Qiao Qiao's shoulders, and put his face against his face. Qiao Qiao looked surprised and turned his head slightly. Xingxin's eyes were soft and gentle. , like a unicorn finally found a home.

Looking at the expression on his face, Qiu Yi asked softly: "Do you know this Li Yu? He just sent a photo with you. I can private message him and ask him to delete it."

"It's a good shot, don't need to delete it." Xing Xin returned the phone to him, and said to Qiu Yi, "Send me that photo."

Qiu Yi knew that Xingxin didn't like taking pictures since high school, and he never took pictures with others. Unexpectedly, Xingxin would say that this photo was taken well. He clicked save and sent the photo to him , but the mood is very complicated.

Going down the stairs, I saw Qiao Qiao sitting on the sofa. He looked beautiful, with a white and tender face. He was wearing a light brown sweater with the collar tied on his face. His face looked even smaller, fortunately. When Xin came to his side, Qiao Qiao raised his head, then looked sideways at Qiu Yi behind Xing Xin, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Qiu Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect him to ask himself, he nodded, and smiled with the corners of his mouth open: "It's all right."

Xingxin glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's [-]:[-], and it's just in time when we walked over."

Qiao Qiao then stood up and walked to Xingxin's side. Xingxin took the coat off the hanger for him and let him put it on.

Qiu Yi stood behind and looked at the two of them, feeling unable to get involved.

He felt strange, obviously they only met on the train a few days ago, but why they had such a tacit understanding, as if they had been together for a long time, he put on his coat and followed them silently.

Xingxin opened the door, it was still cold outside, Qiao Qiao shrank his neck, Xingxin raised his hand and gently touched his face, "Is it cold?"

"It's not bad." Qiao Qiao shook his head and smiled, then sneezed firmly.

"You wait."

Xing Xin looked at him, turned around, trotted upstairs, and took a hat from his room.

Qiu Yi watched Xingxin go upstairs, he turned his head, his eyes fell on Qiao Qiao's face, the child's face was a little red from the cold, looking so pitiful, Qiu Yi pursed his lips, and asked in a low voice: "You and Xingxin What's the relationship?"

"Ah?" Qiao Qiao looked at him blankly. He didn't react, and Qiu Yi said, "Don't worry, I... I have been friends with him since high school, and I haven't seen him treat anyone so well. Just curious."

Qiao Qiao stroked his hair that was blown tousled by the wind. He looked at Qiu Yi, his eyes gradually faded, and he said, "I like Xingxin."
