Boiling point

When He Xin said "stay here", the range was set very precisely, with no more than five steps before and after, and he would get out of the quilt after five steps, and howled "Where are you going?"

Li Yanqi held the cup, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Drink water." Looking back at He Xin who still refused to close his eyes, "Where is the reason why the owner is controlled by the pet?"

He Xin turned her back to Li Yanqi, coughed a few times, then turned her head and said, "You say I look like a dog?"

Li Yanqi brought the water in front of him and smiled, "I didn't say anything."

He Xin frowned because she was uncomfortable, looking at the person with a bit of displeasure, took the cup and drank up the water.

Most people choose to sleep quietly when they are sick, or listen to music and read books without hearing anything outside the window. In short, they relax their tense nerves and don't bother to talk to others.

He Xin was the opposite of his original personality, usually so cool that it took a lot of effort to jump a word, but when he got sick, he became a chatterbox.

He talked about everything, ranging from state affairs to vulgar gossip, some of which sounded like nonsense, while others were very logical. Within a few hours, Li Yanqi felt that he had finished everything they had said since they met.

"Are you thirsty?" Li Yanqi looked at him, "I'll pour you another glass of water."

"Our puppies don't need to drink water." He Xin leaned against the head of the bed, "Where did I just say that?"

Li Yanqi had no choice but to sit back again, "You will participate in the Marathon City League in the third year of junior high school and run along the tourist attractions. There was a heavy rain that day, and many people lost their shoes. The scene was very spectacular."

He Xin's voice was hoarse, "Yes, at that time I was just laughing, but then my shoes flew off, and finally I was honored to win the first place, and I stepped on the garbage bag to receive the award."

Li Yanqi's expression was slightly disgusted when he heard the word "garbage bag", and he wanted to go in and wash his feet if he was a cleanliness addict.

He Xin lowered her eyelids and said, "That was the first city competition I participated in after joining the school sports team. Although I was very embarrassed to win, I finished the whole course and felt that my trip was not in vain."

"It's quite great." Li Yanqi said, "I won No.1 after such a long journey."

"Great?" He Xin smiled lightly and closed her eyes, "Some people find it very embarrassing."

Li Yanqi was silent for a minute, and did not obliquely avoid the topic, "Is your father?"

He Xin's closed eyes half opened, her eyelashes fluttered twice, "Yeah."

But he soon laughed again, and his tone became indifferent, "Anyway, no matter what I do, it will be embarrassing in his eyes. I have to change my name to He to satisfy his wish."

Li Yanqi didn't know what was going on at He Xin's house, and he didn't want to casually spy on other people's wounds. He Xin lived a chic and free life outside, never showing a trace of weakness, but he knew that he just used indifference to cover up his true inner emotions. When he was sick, he suddenly didn't protect this mask, showing a fragile corner, so the strength he showed at this moment is not necessarily strong, and what he said is okay doesn't necessarily mean that he is really okay.

"Hey." Li Yanqi moved the chair closer, "You talked about everything you didn't have, so you can either go to bed when you're tired, or say something you really want to talk about."

He Xin stared at the glass, his poorly focused eyeballs were dark. He opened his mouth, feeling that he had a lot to say, but found that those things had accumulated in his heart over the years, forming a big block that could not move. stone.

"Say it, I'll listen." Li Yanqi's voice sounded from his ear, with a gentle breath deliberately suppressed.

"I..." He Xin turned his face, clenched his fist and let go, "I used to have a younger brother like you." After a long pause, He Xin didn't look away, "But he Dead, I killed him."

The story is actually very simple, and it doesn't take a lot of words. He Xin narrated it in the tone of a bystander. A home that doesn't feel like a home, a pair of parents who don't look like their parents. Beaten by his mother, he has a desperate past that he is desperately trying to escape.

"If I hadn't resisted at the time, my brother might not have died." He Xin said, "I pushed my mother, causing her to hit the corner of the table and bleed all over the floor."

Li Yanqi didn't speak, just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him.

"From then on, no matter how my mother beat me, I didn't resist anymore, because that was what I owed her. I had to accept her scolding, her hatred, and her perverted and twisted love day and night. The impulsiveness at that time endured the torment." He Xin rested her hands on her face and said softly, "But you know what? I'm afraid."

"The house as big as my house is always empty. When I was a child, it took me 3 minutes to walk from the living room to the room. I had to walk 32 steps and 160 steps. Later, I grew a little taller. It only took me 1 minute to walk. I can escape back a hundred steps and lock myself up, but I find that this is not something I should be grateful for, because no matter what, there is only my shadow in the living room and room, staying alone."

It is said that all the joys and sorrows in the world are not connected, but Li Yanqi can more or less empathize with He Xin's pain at that moment.

His unspeakable fear, the bitterness that he struggled desperately but couldn't get over, the wounds on his body may have healed, or may have scabbed long ago, but they can't cover up the established fact that he is an abandoned puppet , being pulled by the hands of life to grow up, only one person is stumbling forward from the beginning to the end.

Li Yanqi was not very good at comforting others, so after thinking for a long time, he stretched out his hand and squeezed his shoulder.

"Itchy." He Xin lowered her head and shrank her neck, "Your hands are so cold."

Li Yanqi touched his face, "You're the one who got burned again."

"I don't want to sleep." He Xin closed her eyes and opened them again, "When I fall asleep, I have nightmares."

Li Yanqi said, "Then I'll sing you a song before you sleep?"

He Xin rubbed her temples, "I don't agree with your Xueba's aesthetics."

Li Yanqi smiled, "How do you know what I'm going to sing?"

He Xin coughed, "It must be about dogs."

Li Yanqi glanced at him with a look of disbelief, and He Xin tore off the quilt and patted the empty bed, "I want to cool down, so come closer."

Li Yanqi hesitated for a moment and said, "It doesn't work even if I'm an ice sculpture. Seriously, if you want, we'd better go to the hospital."

"I don't want it." He Xin's voice was hoarse, "I hate hospitals."

When Li Yanqi turned around, he saw a pair of misty eyes staring at him. He lost his mind and caused history to repeat itself. He was caught off guard by someone who dragged him straight, and then fell onto He Xin's bed.

"Fuck me." Li Yanqi couldn't hold back a swear word.

The culprit snorted twice proudly, and then pressed Li Yanqi's body down with his arms.

"Lie down obediently."

Li Yanqi sighed silently, feeling that he shouldn't reason with such a savage guy who is sick, so he had no choice but to pull up the quilt and put his head on the pillow.

"Go ahead and sing." He Xin closed her eyes and squeezed closer to him.

Li Yanqi cleared his throat and tapped his hands on his knees, "Under the bridge in front of the door, a group of dogs passed by, come and count them, two four six seven eight, bark bark bark bark which dog is the most handsome, it must be Then He Sanggou, He Sanggou is the most handsome."

He Xin laughed sullenly, "Damn it, Li Yanqi has gone crazy."

"Handsome dog He Xin, take my good compliments and go to sleep." Li Yanqi turned off the lights, leaving only a small night light. He pointed to the opposite wall, and with a shaking of his fingertips, a picture appeared on the wall. Seeing his shadow, He Xin also stretched out her hand, touching Li Yanqi's hand.

"Who hasn't had anything to be afraid of? Whether it's the hospital or the dark, it's normal, and I'm also afraid." Li Yanqi looked at his watch and said softly, "But in the fourteen hours from now to tomorrow morning, you The shadow next to me is me, and the one next to me is also me, afraid of farts, sleep peacefully."

He Xin turned her head and covered her face with her hands, only showing a pair of eyes looking at him, the eyes were very burning, and there was a bit of grievance.In the dark, Li Yanqi's hand touched his waist, and the warm touch made him dizzy for a moment, and his whole body burned as if he was dying.

"Sing it again." He Xin said.

Li Yanqi smiled, "What are you singing?"

He Xin said, "Anything is fine."

In the bombardment of Li Yanqi's "dogs come and dogs", a nursery rhyme that was extremely inconsistent with his deep voice, He Xin let go of all her defenses, and her tense body slowly relaxed, forgetting the pain and fear, and soon Into dreamland.

Hearing He Xin's long breathing, Li Yanqi sighed heavily.

From being disgusted with He Xin to being curious, he has mixed too many emotions that he can't explain himself. In his turbulent and boring life, he tasted some surprises and embarrassments for the first time. This process is very strange. .

He Xin has a particularly contradictory temperament, which has been subtly attracting him.He is like a hedgehog, showing others the thorns all over his body to protect himself, fierce and dangerous, but when you get closer to him, and then a little closer, to show his kindness, he will show his white and soft belly, which is quite cute of.

Li Yanqi couldn't sleep, he tossed and turned for a few minutes, he was so hot from the heat of He Xin's body, he got up and drank a glass of water thinking, it's not the first time they shared the same bed, but now it's very tormenting , Nervous and nervous mood really made it difficult for him to resist, when He Xin lay down on the bed again, he had turned over to face him, hot breath swept his face, he stretched out his hand out of thin air to touch her The eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but unfortunately, the fingertips paused in the air, and the eyelashes drooped down, and then retracted restrainedly.

He didn't know what he was restraining, why he restrained, maybe it came from his nature, maybe he was cowardly.

From the moment he accepted the world that was destined not to accept himself, he warned himself that any relationship with anyone must stop outside the line of defense controlled by his rationality.

Li Yanqi turned over and felt that there was a crumbling wall in his heart that was about to collapse, and there was a cool young man on the other side of the wall who kept crossing the boundary and pushing it forward.

He Xin had a dream. In the dream, he was staying in the hospital. That day seemed to be his eighth birthday. He had a fever and fell asleep on the chair in a daze. He called the nurse a few times, but no one paid attention to him. He was anxious and scared. He used to not care whether he would be accompanied by someone when he was sick, but now he especially hopes that someone can be by his side so that he will not be so flustered. Finally, he pulled out the needle by himself. He bleed a lot, he held the tissue and pressed the back of his hand for a while, the nurse finally came and asked him, "Are you alone? Where are your parents?" He Xin replied several times, "It's just me One person, one person!" In the clip where he roared, he found himself growing up, but the lines in his mouth never changed.

Later he thought, it’s no big deal for him to be alone, and it’s not that he can’t live anymore, but every year’s birthday wish always betrays him, and he can’t remember how many times he made it. I can feel the smell of rice, feel the warm lights in the room, the TV is turned on very loudly, there are laughter and noise, I no longer get beaten in vain, and I don’t have to witness my father flirting with other women.

He can have the simple and ordinary happiness that is within reach of others.

The picture suddenly changed, he was sleeping in a dark place, the alarm clock rang three times, someone turned on a light, he nestled his head in the quilt irritably, after a while, the person dragged him He pulled it out of the quilt, and said in his mouth, "He Xin, are you still sleeping even when Li An is up? I won't accompany you to make you stand if you are late, you can go on your own."

The man was standing with his backlit, wearing a clean white shirt, the sun passed through his head, refracting a halo, although the light was too stingy and not very bright, but at least there was light.

He Xin suddenly jumped up from the bed, he took a few breaths and lay down again.

It was a dream, he hadn't had a dream for a long time.

Well, not too bad a dream.

She grabbed her phone and saw that it was nine o'clock the next day. He Xin got out of bed and took a shower. While Li Yanqi was away, she smoked a cigarette to enjoy herself.When Li Yanqi opened the door, the smell of smoke was still in the room, he frowned, and found that He Xin disobeyed the doctor's orders, lying on the window smoking and coughing.

"Did the fever go away and you just smoked?" Li Yanqi put down the porridge, walked to him and touched his forehead, "It's not hot anymore."

He Xin hooked the corner of her mouth.

Li Yanqi sternly took the cigarette away from his mouth, "You can't smoke if you don't burn it."

He Xin hugged him, her voice was still hoarse, "Are you still practicing today?"

"Don't practice, just your body that walks two steps and coughs two steps." Li Yanqi said, "After drinking the porridge, just stay here."

He Xin was a little annoyed when he heard that, "I—a strong general with a high fever of 39 degrees, defeated No. [-] Middle School, and dragged you down twice. What kind of body am I?"

Li Yanqi remembered how he threw himself onto his bed yesterday, and turned his face away in embarrassment, "Your Mr. Mighty's body, I wait for mortals to dare to do anything wrong."

He Xin smiled, "It's nothing to go out in the afternoon, I heard there is a fluorescent music festival in the north of the city."

Li Yanqi said, "Go and play, I'm going to stay in the hotel to catch up on sleep."

He Xin pointed to herself, "I'm still angry, and I'll drag you into a fight later."

In terms of shamelessness, no one can compare to He Xin. Li Yanqi stared at him for a long time, and almost rolled up his sleeves and said he would fight.

But in the end the fight didn't work out, because He Xin went to drink porridge with her long legs, and Li Yanqi decided to go back to her room to inform Xu Lan that he might not be able to participate in tonight's practice, so let him bring some.

He Xin actually saw a lemon next to the porridge brought by Li Yanqi from the moment he entered the door, but he didn't expect that Li Yanqi would draw a smiling face and write on the lemon.

——He Xiaogou, barking twice.

Uncle Wang, He Xin wiped the lemon twice with his cuff with a smile, just about to take a bite, and braked the car in time, after thinking about it, he still stuffed it into the trunk, looked at it with his arms folded, and then talked with him. The favorite lemon bid farewell.

The Fluorescence Music Festival is a bit far from their hotel, and it took two bus transfers to reach the destination. He Xin wore a black mask and was dressed in black. She looked like a gangster, and she forgot to bring her ID card. She went to the ticket office at the door No one dared to sell him a ticket.

Li Yanqi couldn't help but smile, he walked in first before he kindly went to the door to pick him up, He Xin put on a serious face, took a cigarette in his mouth, and gave him a weary look.

"Smile more when you go out, the world is better." Li Yanqi looked at him and said.

He Xin pulled out a "very kind" smile, "Is this okay? The smiling angel, Teacher Li."

Li Yanqi said, "Forgive my eyes, He Xiaogou."

"No, your puppy is endless? I'm such a cool person, you call me like a pet." He Xin said unconvinced, "Li Xiaomao, be careful that I will bite you."

Li Yanqi, who named Li Xiaomao affectionately, was silent for a second, and stretched out his hand to shake him, "He Xiaogou, be careful that I scratch you."

They glanced at each other, didn't hold back their smiles, walked all the way to the crowd of the music festival audience, and the two of them haven't figured out what the sudden childishness just now was.

The Fluorescence Music Festival is a large-scale environmental protection music festival. Everyone who buys a ticket can plant a tree in the ecological garden.

Li Yanqi and He Xin planted two trees and wrote their names on the tree sign.

"He Xin & Li Yanqi." He Xin said after finishing writing, "Your writing is correct, right?"

Li Yanqi took out his glasses and took a look, "If it's a little less, Beauty Wang will be so angry that she will take off her fans."

He Xin drew a little more heavily with a pen, and also bolded the names of the two people. The characters were already ugly, but now they are even more ugly.

Li Yanqi sighed and smiled lightly twice.

There is a free self-service supply area in the music festival, with hot drinks and wine, but few people will take hot drinks. Most of them drink when they sing high. Li Yanqi and He Xin each have a bottle of wine, and they waved their hands among the fans for a long time. They also yelled indiscriminately, and by the end of the show, both of them were hoarse.

The last one is a repertoire, where one person is selected to perform a show, and his companion has to use live props to make an item during his corresponding performance time.

It was very interesting, so there were a lot of applicants. He Xin and Li Yanqi were watched by the host's sister from the moment they entered the door. When they silently watched the show with wine, they were called by name.

He Xin wore a mask with a reluctance on his face, and Li Yanqi didn't want to show off. They both waved their hands at the same time, but in this situation, everyone couldn't help booing when they saw the two handsome guys present.

In the end, the host saw that He Xin was difficult to get close to, so he invited Li Yanqi to the stage.

As soon as Li Yanqi stood up, many girls screamed. He Xin clicked his tongue and stood aside to pick up materials.

"I don't know how to sing, just hit the drums casually." Li Yanqi said and glanced at the host, "Is 1 minute enough?"

The applause crackled.

He Xin was drawing on the hairband with a hand-painted pen. Li Yanqi walked up to the drum set and stood still. He tapped the drum lightly with his toes twice, then dropped the drumstick and tapped on the drum. .

Every rhythm and every pause is just right, not too ostentatious, nor deliberately handsome, but it is so special that people can't take their eyes off. He Xin turned his head and saw Li Yanqi's black hair slightly fluttering in the wind. Wearing a gray sweater, he smoothed his sleeves and smiled in He Xin's direction.

He Xin thinks that Li Yanqi is quite an amazing person.

Such a wild music with drums, and a calm person like him can play so well.

It's unbelievable and at the same time I think his contradictory temperament is very cool.

More special and cool than anyone else.

Because He Xin was obsessed with acting, He Xin didn't draw any flowers after 1 minute. Li Yanqi took a closer look, "Is there a pile of shit on the hairband?"

He Xin was speechless, because he himself felt like shit, but what he drew was actually a lighthouse.

"Lost it, I'm not good at drawing and writing." He Xin said, "I'll go and bury it under our tree."

Li Yanqi said, "A pile of shit grows every other year."

"Are you finished?" He Xin pulled off the mask and pointed at him, "The clean freak beat the drum set to release himself."

Li Yanqi smiled, glanced at the hairband in He Xin's hand, grabbed it while he was not paying attention, and weighed it twice, "What you give me is mine, and it's the performance fee."

He Xin said, "When you were playing drums, the girls in the front row rushed up and hugged your thighs and howled."

"So exaggerated?" Li Yanqi said, "It's the same when you play basketball."

He Xin lowered her head to light a cigarette, and just as she picked up the lighter, he extinguished it again. He put his hand in his pocket, turned his head to look at Li Yanqi, and asked seemingly casually, "Little Milk Bubble said you don't know how to fall in love. , you really don’t want to talk about it?”

Li Yanqi didn't expect that he would suddenly ask such a question that caught him off guard, he was taken aback, then turned around, smiled silently, and turned the question back to him, "What about you?"

He Xin said, "I've never liked anyone before."

Li Yanqi didn't say anything, just walked with his head down.

He Xin was wearing a mask, only showing a pair of black and white eyes and squinting slightly, "What does it feel like to like someone?"

Li Yanqi stroked the hairband in his pocket with his fingers, and exhaled lightly. He liked someone, but he didn't dare to think about taking a step closer, but he couldn't help but want to know a little more, and get closer Enough.

This is the first thought that popped into my mind.

Li Yanqi was silent, feeling that the wall was about to collapse.
