At sunset, the mountains are far away

Tao Yan opened his tired and heavy eyes, his mind was obviously still a little groggy, and he wanted to move his body, but found that his body was also very heavy, as if he was being pressed down by something.Tao Yan turned his face away and saw Xia Chengqi who was leaning against him, with one hand still on his waist.She recalled the scene before she passed out last night, when she heard the flute sound in a daze, followed the sound and opened the door, and saw the scene, her heart ached.She turned sideways and hugged Xia Chengqi, who was lying quietly beside her, with uncertainty, fear and reluctance in her heart.

Xia Chengqi was awakened by Tao Yan's movements, and the warm breath he exhaled hit Tao Yan's neck, itching, but it made Tao Yan feel at ease. "You're awake, are you feeling better?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to caress Tao Yan's hot forehead from last night.Tao Yan suffered from altitude sickness, but fortunately he took the medicine in time, and there was nothing serious about it. However, Su Qingmo and his party set off for a higher altitude mountain early in the morning, and Xia Chengqi stayed to take care of Tao Yan.

"It seems that the fever has subsided. Are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen to see what to eat." Then he got up and got ready to get out of bed.Tao Yan hugged Xia Chengqi who was about to get up, and refused to let go, "I'm not hungry, hug me." His voice still sounded weak.Xia Chengqi felt distressed, and also blamed himself for not discovering Tao Yan's physical discomfort in time. He wrapped his hands tightly around Tao Yan's waist, and his lips fell on Tao Yan's neck.

"Yanyan, don't you want me to explain what happened last night?"

"You want to say that you and Su Qingmo have nothing, right?"

"Well, don't you believe it?"

"I believe it now. As for the future..."

Xia Chengqi let go of Tao Yan and looked straight at Tao Yan.

"As for the future, you still want to stay in Qinghai, don't you?" Tao Yan spoke in a calm tone, showing no emotional ups and downs

Xia Chengqi remained silent, acquiescing.This matter has been made clear since the two of them were together.

"I'm a little hungry and want to eat something."

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."

Tao Yan looked at the back of Xia Chengqi's leaving, what was uncertain in her heart gradually became clearer, but the more clear it became, the heavier her heart became. She slumped on the bed, feeling pain in her heart.

After Tao Yan had eaten, he obviously regained his energy. He sat side by side with Xia Chengqi and chatted with the proprietress of the inn. .In the process of chatting with the proprietress, Xia Chengqi lowered his head and wrote something in the notebook from time to time. Tao Yan leaned over to read it, but Xia Chengqi protected the notebook from reading, saying that it was just some bits and pieces that hadn't been written yet.Xia Chengqi deliberately talked with the locals to understand the local customs and some strange but interesting things, and recorded them, wrote them into articles and published them in the travel column of the magazine. In this way, several travel notes written by readers are favored by readers.

When night came, the Gobi wind howled ferociously outside the window with yellow sand in it. It was already very cold in Qinghai in October.Xia Chengqi sat curled up on the bed, lowered his head, and carefully polished his article on the paper. A smile appeared on his face from time to time when he wrote wonderful things, but that smile was born in another virtual parallel world, and no one else could get close to it. Can't walk in.

"Xia Chengqi, I'm a little cold." Tao Yan huddled under the quilt, revealing a small part of his face.

"Then do you want to sleep together? It's just a bit crowded." Tao Yan lifted his quilt, and quickly got into Xia Chengqi's warm bed. Xia Chengqi put on his shoes, hugged Tao Yan's quilt, and wrapped himself on the quilt, and then smiled with satisfaction, "This way you won't be cold."

Tao Yan put one arm around Xia Chengqi's waist, but Xia Chengqi's legs arched to write on the pad made her feel uncomfortable holding her, "Qiqi, put your legs flat. I don't feel comfortable holding them." Tao Yan Lying on his side, he looked up at Xia Chengqi.

Xia Chengqi looked at Tao Yan who was staring at him with burning eyes, and then looked at the notebook in his hand, and finally compromised, propping his body on the pillow with his hands, "Then let's do this as the head office." After speaking, he devoted himself to writing again .Tao Yan sighed slightly in his heart, Xia Chengqi was always busy with some things, and he was always just an existence in the room, and could not attract much of her attention.She was also used to it, and even though she felt unwilling, she had no choice but to turn her face sideways and carefully looked at Xia Chengqi's serious creation side face.

"Bo..." Tao Yan finally couldn't hold back, got up and kissed Xia Chengqi.Xia Chengqi turned his face and lay down on the pillow, looking at Tao Yan with a smile on his face, and the two looked at each other for a while.Tao Yan moved towards Xia Chengqi bit by bit until the tip of his nose touched the tip of his nose, the breathing of both of them could be heard clearly, his eyes just fixed on Xia Chengqi's delicate lips, before he had time to tilt his head, Xia Chengqi took a step ahead, After resting on Tao Yan's lips for a while, he raised his head and looked into Tao Yan's bright eyes, "Sleep well and don't do anything bad." After speaking, he turned his face away, turned his back to Tao Yan, and devoted himself to creating again. .

Tao Yan was a little annoyed, he opened his mouth and gnawed on Xia Chengqi's shoulder, and then fell asleep as if to relieve his anger, but he couldn't let go of the things that had been on his mind for a long time, and he lay awake for a long time before falling asleep.

When Tao Yan woke up the next day, Xia Chengqi was no longer there, only a note was covered under the phone on the bedside table; today Su Qingmo and the others come back, I will go to the intersection to check.Remember to eat breakfast after getting up and put on more clothes.

Tao Yan strode out of the room and asked the proprietress where the intersection was, but the proprietress insisted not to let Tao Yan go out, saying that she was still weak and could no longer blow sand outside.Tao Yan couldn't resist, so he obediently sat at the door, waiting for Xia Chengqi to come back.

Wearing thick clothes, Xia Chengqi stood on a high place with a wide view, and had a panoramic view of the yellow and vast scenery below. She suddenly felt a sense of independence and boundlessness. What she liked was the unpolished natural scenery.On the road in the distance, a vague black spot appeared. The black spot became bigger and clearer. It was Su Qingmo and the others who had returned.

Xia Chengqi greeted her excitedly, but Su Qingmo took out the SLR from her bag, "I know this is what you're excited about. Here, here you are." On the phone, Su Qingmo had already He told Xia Chengqi about the situation of Dongdong's family.When Dongdong's parents knew that Dongdong was found, they wept with joy, hoping to take Dongdong back home as soon as possible.

"Sister Su, you don't have much clothes on." Su Qingmo shivered after getting off the car.Xia Chengqi took off his scarf and handed it to Su Qingmo graciously, "Thank you."

"How can there be such a way of thanking you." Su Qingmo said arrogantly, but took the scarf with her hand very honestly, and wrapped herself in the scarf repeatedly.

"Hey, sister Su, can you be more careful around you? Do you know what you look like? It's like a parrot wrapped in a flowery yellow turban in a field of yellow." After speaking, he giggled, completely ignoring Su Qingmo cast a look with a knife in her eyes.Su Qingmo let go of her hands clasped tightly around her chest, stretched out her hand to touch Xia Chengqi's hair, rubbed it on his head for a while, and then let go with satisfaction, "Then you are the one that was splashed with black ink The crow." With a gloating expression on Su Qingmo's face, she walked towards the station with her long legs.Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, like the bright sun hanging in the sky.It's just that Tao Yan, who sees everything in his eyes, is full of clouds.

The inn had already prepared a sumptuous feast for the three of them. There were six people including the inn owner and the proprietress. They drank happily and chatted happily like a big family. Everyone had a sincere smile on their faces. .Xia Chengqi, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, was also infected. He drank a lot of wine, his face was already like a ripe apple, and his behavior began to be bold and erratic.Seeing that Su Qingmo, who was not far away from him, also had a rare smile on his face, he stretched out his finger to shave Su Qingmo's cheek with the strength of alcohol, and said in a naive voice; "Sister Su, why don't you laugh?" It's so pretty, and the name sounds good too." He was still muttering Su Qingmo's name over and over again, with a silly smile on his face, and it looked like he was quite drunk.

Su Qingmo looked at Xia Chengqi, who was drunk, and glanced at Tao Yan who was sitting farthest away from him. With a smile on his face, he listened attentively to the conversation of several big men like a train coming out of their mouths.Tao Yan's hand under the table was clenched tightly, leaving fingerprints on the palm, his mind was already in a mess, and his heart was in a mess, but he didn't want to pay attention to the drunk Xia Chengqi.

Su Qingmo knew very well that she must not control Xia Chengqi at this time, otherwise it would only add fuel to the fire.Fortunately, after Xia Chengqi simply "molested" himself, he obediently lay down on the dining table and fell asleep in a daze.She pretended to be indifferent to Xia Chengqi, talking and laughing with a few men, having a great time.After all, Tao Yan couldn't hold back any longer, he got up and helped Xia Chengqi back into the room with the proprietress.After the proprietress left, Tao Yan took off Xia Chengqi's clothes so that she could sleep more comfortably. Unexpectedly, after taking off the coat successfully, Xia Chengqi just grabbed his clothes tightly, a little scared He shrank into a ball and murmured, "Don't touch me, don't touch me."

Tao Yan was a little overwhelmed and distressed as if looking at the scared Xia Chengqi, she bent down and whispered into Xia Chengqi's ear, "Qiqi, it's me, Tao Yan, let's take off our clothes and go to bed, okay? "He put his hand on Xia Chengqi's arm and shook it gently, trying to comfort the trembling Xia Chengqi.As soon as Xia Chengqi felt the touch from his arms, he shrank even smaller, and buried his head on his bowed legs.Tao Yan had no choice but to give up the plan to continue undressing Xia Chengqi, and just covered her with two quilts, and then sat on the edge of the bed, watching Xia Chengqi whose mood gradually stabilized after no one touched her.She suddenly discovered that she only knew the current Xia Chengqi. Xia Chengqi never mentioned what kind of past she had and what her family was like, but obviously the past and family shaped the current Xia Chengqi.
