Xu Shixi always felt that Pei Yan was a bit strange, but he looked normal in the next few days, but it was strange that he stared at him all day long for no reason.
Liang Jiaping sent him only one-third of the script. In order to prevent the script from being leaked, he would not send the complete script to him until it was officially finalized. More than 30 years have passed. At that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now. It is difficult to find a lot of information on the Internet, and there are only some vague records.
He borrowed Gu Cong's computer at the bar, and Gu Cong was watching from the side, not knowing what he was doing watching these murders, it was quite scary, especially in the bar where only their small area was brighter, and the rest of the place was very dark , Looking at those old photos that have faded over the years, I feel even more horrified.
"What are you doing?" Gu Cong took a bottle of fruit beer and asked him, "Want to enter the police academy?"
"No," Xu Shixi took the bottle from him, flipped through the webpage without looking up, and said, "I want to find out the details of this case."
Gu Cong looked at it for a long time but couldn't see why, so he didn't bother to care about him, and went to sit in the corner to deal with the pile of winter vacation homework.
Xu Shixi printed out that part of the script, bound it, and kept it at hand. When Pei Yan came over, he saw it, so he sat down and picked it up to have a look. On the cover, "Cold Fireworks" was written in black on a white background.
"Is this the movie?" Pei Yan asked him holding the script.
"Well, but it's not complete. The rest can only be seen after discussing the follow-up matters. During the audition, go and talk about it face-to-face." Xu Shixi said.
He is quite sure about his audition. At least in the current situation, Liang Jiaping has almost no better choice besides him. to what extent.
But the audition is one thing, and it is not so easy to make this movie well. The hero Fang Xun in the movie was 15 years old when he appeared on the stage, and he should be 39 years old by the end of the movie. In the actual case, the criminal policeman is older, but there is still a certain degree of adaptation in the movie.
The incident should have started more than 40 years ago. There was a case of disappearance in a small county. The girl disappeared for half a month. Her parents went to the police to report the case. In such a small place, many surveillance probes are useless, and the police have been chasing for many months without any whereabouts.
This girl is the mother of Fang Xun and his older sister Fang Xia. She was trafficked and sold to a remote village and died of illness not long after giving birth to two children. Her father died of tuberculosis soon after, and her family property was taken away by her uncle's family. To sell the two children, Fang Xia escaped from the small place with Fang Xun, who was only seven months old at the time, while no one was paying attention.
Fang Xia had never read a book, had no contact with anyone, innocent and ignorant of the world, she was only 16 years old at the time, looking for odd jobs in the town, was tricked and sold to become a lady, it was very difficult to pull Fang Xun away big.
Fang Xun grew up a little bit, especially after entering junior high school, he began to look down on her along with the people in the town. She was a complete shame to him, and he felt ashamed to mention it. He touched the things she moved, thought she was dirty and disgusting, and pulled all her clothes out of the closet and threw them on the street.
Fang Xia almost collapsed, and wanted to escape many times, but this town is full of nets, she can't take a step, and she can't bear Fang Xun, she just watched him grow from a palm, can't talk, can't walk, has been grown so big.
Fang Xun gradually started skipping classes, ran away from home, and would not go back to see Fang Xia once in ten days and a half months. Sometimes he would wonder if he had done something wrong, but the people around him kept telling him over and over again , you have no problem, she is so lowly, she deserves to be covered in mud.
Such depressive inner torture until one time he saw Fang Xia being beaten by a strange man at home. Fang Xun couldn't help but took a shovel from the door and hit him hard on the back twice. He wouldn't let go of what others said In my heart, my sister raised him, and no one can look down on her, except him.
He also didn't want Fang Xia to be a lady anymore. He wanted to make money quickly and take her to live in another place, so he went to the next town to learn how to repair cars. When I took the money she left, I saw several police cars parked at the door when I got home.
It was a sultry summer night like a steamer. Not far away, someone held a banquet at night. There were bright and dazzling fireworks at the entrance of the hotel, which seemed like cold fireworks during the day. Fang Xun held a stack of sweaty money and saw through the fireworks Blood dripping from under the shutter door.
Later, he went back to school and was admitted to the police academy. He gradually came into contact with the case that failed to investigate the truth, and traced back to the source of the original abduction case. During the process, he solved more than [-] cases and rescued many abducted women. child.
After arresting the murderer for 23 years, every night when he closes his eyes, there is a cluster of cold fireworks in front of him.
Xu Shixi also found a post on a forum many years ago on the Internet. The host said he was a local. I dare not set off that kind of fireworks again.
Pei Yan didn't understand the scripts of these movies, but he could roughly understand the plots, and gradually became a little fascinated by them.
Xu Shixi closed the forum page, only to find that Pei Yan was still watching, smiled and asked him, "Where did you see it?"
"No. 30 five games." Pei Yan said.
Xu Shixi still remembered that passage, even if he couldn't follow the lines of the scripts he had read, he would still have an impression.
The grades will come out tomorrow, and I have to go back to school to watch, and get my final homework by the way, Xu Shixi and Gu Cong went out to buy a midnight snack, after eating, it was also time for Pei Yan to get off work, so he went home with him.
For the past few days, Pei Yan walked with him to the fork in the road on the other side of their house, and then turned back to the hotel near the bar, but today he had to go back to get something.
When I walked downstairs, I saw that the lights on the third floor were on. There must be someone there. Pei Yan went up directly and found that the door was unlocked. In the living room, there were several people from Pei Nianzhong's previous construction site. He didn't go to work for three months, and the construction site didn't support idlers, so he had already resigned.
Pei Yan couldn't help but frowned when he smelled the smell of wine. When he walked to the door of his room, he found that the door lock had been broken. It was a mess, several cards were on him, and there was only one old card with 30 yuan left in the cabinet, which disappeared.
Pei Yan took the few notebooks he needed to use, closed the door and went downstairs again. When he returned to the hotel, Pei Nuonuo was fast asleep.
The heating in the hotel was not very hot, so Pei Yan found another quilt and covered her with it.
He has been hesitating in his heart. Although Liu Chunling and Pei Nianzhong are married, they have not received a certificate. If Pei Nianzhong dies, Pei Nuonuo's custody will not fall into her hands. He has saved hundreds of thousands in the past few years. , although not much, probably enough for her.
He hasn't considered the question of whether it's worth it or not. He has long wanted to do this. After thinking about it for many years, he has thought of many ways, and every step is very clear in his mind.
When he came back that night, he asked Pei Nuonuo, and Pei Nuonuo said that she accidentally told the story of her stay at Xu Shixi's house, but she didn't say who it was, and then she was beaten, once there would be a second time, No matter what the reason is, it's just an insignificant trigger point, and it will only get worse in the future. It's impossible for him to rush back every time.
Pei Yan took out the pocket watch with a slightly sluggish time from his shirt pocket. The outer shell was only in contact with the skin through a thin layer of clothing, and it was always warm. Thinking about what made him unable to make up his mind the most now was that once he If he did it, Xu Shixi would definitely feel sorry for him.
The Fang Xun that Xu Shixi wants to play is a criminal policeman who is always persistent and enthusiastic and will not let any crime go, but he wants to be a murderer?
It was snowing heavily outside, and the roads were full of snow. Looking out from the window on the fifth floor of the hotel, there was a vast expanse of whiteness on the slightly lower roof in the distance. Or in the winter of the next year, where is Xu Shixi, what is he doing, will he remember him.
Pei Yan had been wearing earphones, which contained the song sung by Xu Shixi at the last graduation ceremony. He converted it into audio, but failed to filter out the voices of other people around him.
At the beginning, there was laughter from the audience. He still remembered that Xu Shixi looked back at Fang Xiaochun who was wearing a skirt, and then the guitar plucked and played a short prelude.
"...singing this song for you has no style
it just means i want you to be happy
Thaw the glaciers for you, be a moth to the fire for you
nothing is not worth it
......"
When Xu Shixi woke up in the morning, he heard on the radio that it had been snowing heavily for the past few days. He bought a train ticket for the day after tomorrow. I don't know what the weather is like over there.
After going to school, he was anxious to read his report card. He was in the ninth place, and this semester was the first time he entered the top ten. If this continues, C University will basically be stable.
When returning to his seat, Pei Yan handed him two very thick notebooks. Xu Shixi took them over and looked at them. They were actually the key points of review for all subjects. The pages were marked, which paragraphs should be memorized and which ones do not need to be read, and the corresponding teacher sent them. The page numbers of the questions in the key workbooks, some of the answers to the questions are very long-winded, so Pei Yan posted a post-it note next to it, saying that you can just read this.
Xu Shixi touched the margin of the slightly scrolled page, blinked, but was unable to speak.
"You can watch this during the winter vacation." Pei Yan told him.
"Aren't you here during the winter vacation?" Xu Shixi asked him.
"Shouldn't be here," Pei Yan said, "If you need anything, go to Gu Cong."
"I'm fine, I'm bored without you here." Xu Shixi took out a small jar from his schoolbag, which contained amber walnuts made by himself. They couldn't taste the walnuts after being coated with sugar. "Try taste."
Pei Yan didn't know why he was so obsessed with eating walnuts for himself. He really didn't like them, but he ate them every time he took them, probably because Xu Shixi gave them to him, and it didn't seem that bad.
You don't need to go to class today, you can leave after you have finished picking up your things all morning and have a class meeting. After going downstairs, Xu Shixi and Pei Yan walked through the back door of the school. Standing on the flyover leading to the back playground, you can see the river below. There is snow on the ice.
They left late, and there are usually not many people going home from this side of the back playground. Except for a boy sitting on the horizontal bar on the other side of the track, there was no one else. Under the old tree whose branches were overturned by the snow, Xu Shixi grabbed Pei Yan, put his hands on the back of his neck to make him bow his head slightly, and then kissed him.
Pei Yan looked down at him, but in the end he still didn't say a word.
"After the Chinese New Year, my family will have dinner." Xu Shixi said.
"Let's go." Pei Yan saw someone coming down from the bridge and told him.
The snow on the road is too thick these days, and there is no class and no hurry. Xu Shixi didn't ride a bike, and walked home with Pei Yan. I walked across the small park to go home. There was no one in it at noon, and there were not many footprints on the snow.
Xu Shixi followed him, walking forward on his footsteps, Pei Yan suddenly stopped, Xu Shixi just looked at the ground, didn't pay attention to the front, accidentally hit his forehead directly on his back, rubbing his forehead in a daze.
"Come on," Pei Yan reached out to him, "carry you on your back."
Xu Shixi shook his head, smiled and said, "Why do you always want to carry me on your back?"
Pei Yan hated physical contact with people, but it was different for Xu Shixi, he could hug her or whatever, and he couldn't help but want to get closer when they were together.
"Carry you to the front steps." Pei Yan said.
"Don't throw me." Xu Shixi walked over and put his shoulders on him from behind.
It has just snowed, and the ground is not firm enough to be slippery. Pei Yan said, "I can't fall."
After walking a short distance, Pei Yan asked him, "What time does the car leave the day after tomorrow?"
"At 09:30 in the morning, at the West Railway Station."
"be careful on the road."
Xu Shixi wanted to laugh a little after hearing this, and said, "Then you can call me and you will know where I am. It will take a long time to arrive at night."
"Where did you live?" Pei Yan avoided his words and asked again.
"I've booked a hotel," Xu Shixi hugged his neck and kissed his ear, whispered a little embarrassedly, "I like you so much."
He spoke in a very low voice, and Pei Yan didn't respond. Xu Shixi thought he didn't hear it. It's fine if he didn't hear it. He didn't know why he blurted out such a sentence. I love him very much, it is different from what other people say, I will not lie to him, and I can always be by his side.
Pei Yan said that he would let him down when he reached the steps, but he was about to walk to the gate of the park. He only let him down when he saw that there were more people in front of him. When they got to this place, they were on the way. Xu Shixi went back home towards the alley to the east. .
When he went to the audition, he planned to show Liang Jiaping the materials he had sorted out in the past two days, as well as a little character analysis and other thoughts written down. He had to pack his things and take two pieces of clothes when he went back.
Pei Yan went back to the hotel and stayed there until dark. The ashtray was full of cigarette butts. He kept the window open. Pei Nuonuo was still choking and coughing when he came back from cram school, so Pei Yan didn't let her in. , took her out for dinner, and when she came back at night, there was no smell of cigarettes.
These two days Xu Shixi couldn't come to the bar. Gu Cong felt quite boring by himself. The main reason is that his game playing skills are actually very average. He rarely met anyone who was better than him. Finally, he met one in his lifetime. Xu Shixi was very appreciative. If you don't get any traces, you will have a sense of accomplishment.
Unlike Pei Yan, who wants to show it to him, but he doesn't understand what the game is, or just take a look at it coldly, it's like pouring cold water on him, and he completely loses the desire to communicate with him| Look, I don't know how to get along with him for so many years, and I can still be brothers. This is probably the true love in the world. Every time Gu Cong thinks of it, he has to be moved by his love.
Gu Cong went to warm up a glass of milk, Pei Yan entered the bar and passed by him, Gu Cong smelled the smell of cigarettes all over his body, looked up, Pei Yan had already gone to the dressing room to change.
Pei Yan poured the package of medicine into the bathroom and flushed it away, and went out to deliver wine, but he still couldn't.
But this winter vacation can't let Pei Nuonuo stay at home. It's okay to go to school normally, at least not during the day. Now I stay at home all day, I'm a little worried. It's better to stay in a hotel all the time. It's not good to rent a house during the two days of the New Year. Can wait and see.
I don't have much time at night, I've been working all the time, and I still need to read books when I get back. Pei Yan plans to go home tomorrow morning to pack his things. He won't need anything else for a while, so he has to bring out two changes of clothes.
Liu Chunling seemed to have found a job by herself, selling goods in a store, and Pei Nianzhong was the only one at home during the day.
When Pei Min went back in the morning, he was still asleep, and he could hear snoring through the door. Pei Min went to fetch a sweater and cotton jacket for Pei Nuonuo, and then went to his own room. There were not many belongings left, and when I went to get the locked wooden box under the bed, I found that a photo album was missing.
He searched in the room but couldn't find it, so he went outside again, and finally found it on the tea table that hadn't been cleared away. On the messy soup table, the photo album was spread out under the mutton pot, and the corner was covered with cigarette butts. They were burnt until they were burnt yellow and blackened, and there were holes in some photos, and half of the faces in the photos were burned off.
The photo album was placed at the bottom of the box. He didn't know how Pei Nianzhong knew and found it, but it was undoubtedly on purpose.
Anger and hatred accumulated to the extreme, but surprisingly calm, Pei Yan wiped the photo album and picked it up, went over and kicked open the door of Pei Nianzhong's room.
Pei Nianzhong woke up from his sleep. The moment he looked at the door, he was almost out of breath. He didn't even dare to say anything, but when his eyes fell on the photo album in Pei Yan's hand, he felt confident again. After getting married, it has only been a few years, and then I start to look at the photo album secretly every night, what is there to worry about a dead person, remembering that even she is dead, she deserves it.
Pei Yan didn't listen to what he was yelling at behind, and went out with his schoolbag.
There is only one copy of those photos, and if they are burned, there will be no more. His father's face in his memory has long been blurred, and the only thing left is this thin photo album.
Pei Yan just had a rest tonight, so he went outside the hotel and called Gu Cong.
"Come pick up Pei Nuonuo tomorrow morning." Pei Yan sent him the hotel address and room number.
"Okay," Gu Cong said while still eating, "Do you have something to do?"
"Well," Pei Yan said, the snow stopped for a while, and the wind was very fast on the road, "Pick her up to the bar, and then call me."
Gu Cong agreed. He used to help pick it up occasionally, so he didn't think too much about it. He wrote papers in the bar for a whole day, and his mind couldn't move. When he couldn't stand the hunger, he saw that it was already dark outside. , it was past eleven o'clock, and now I wake up hungry in the middle of the night, and I plan to order a pizza delivery, but the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong.
He got up and went out with his mobile phone, and went to the hotel ahead of time. Pei Nuonuo opened the door when he saw him through the cat's eyes. When he opened the box and saw the photo album, he realized that it was broken, and when he called Pei Yan again, it was turned off.
There is no case that Pei Yan's mobile phone is dead or lost, it can only be turned off by himself.
It took more than half an hour to get from the bar to Pei Yan's house, and now the road was bad and it was even slower, so Gu Cong called Xu Shixi.
To catch the train tomorrow morning, Xu Shixi was already asleep, but when he received his call, he sat up and called Pei Yan while getting dressed, but no one answered.
He didn't think Pei Yan would do something impulsively, but he couldn't tell.
At night, the wind and snow were very heavy, and the whole alley was dark, the voltage was unstable, and the street lights were flickering. Before Xu Shixi could pull up his coat, the cold wind poured into his arms.
He originally wanted to ride a bicycle, but when he went out, he might as well walk faster, so he walked directly along the roadside where the snow was shallow. It was past twelve o'clock, and the weather was minus [-] degrees in the middle of the night, and the street was almost empty. , Xu Shixi wanted to make another call, but the phone was so cold that the battery dropped, and the touch screen was already insensitive, so he had to put it away.
When I walked downstairs to Pei Yan's house, my hands were already frozen, and I couldn't hold the handrail of the stairs tightly in the dark corridor.
Pei Yan heard the whistling wind and snow outside the window, holding in his hand the utility knife that his father had left behind for field trips, Pei Nianzhong hid in the toilet and locked the door behind him, daring not to come out, but the lock was a little bit tight. Pei Yan pried it open with a knife blade, the living room was dimly lit, and when the toilet door opened, Pei Nianzhong was too frightened to make a sound for help, the coldness in the boy's eyes was a bit colder than the knife edge.
Pei Yan was still struggling in his heart. With this knife, he could shatter the nightmare of his entire boyhood, but after the nightmare, it was like another abyss that could not be seen to the bottom, and there was no way out. No longer exists after the snowstorm.
Every step he took, the old scar was still hurting, every slap he took, the belt pulled to his red, swollen and festered back, the moment he was about to raise the knife, he heard clearly in the silent night The sound of the pocket watch gears turning.
The hand gradually fell back again, and the blade was put away.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the living room. He thought it was Liu Chunling who had come back. Then he thought that he had already inquired that she should be on the night shift today and would not be coming back at this time.
Pei Yan looked down at Pei Nianzhong, closed the toilet door again, and walked towards the door. It was too dark outside to see who it was, and stood quietly for a while before hearing Xu Shixi's voice through the door.
Xu Shixi knocked twice again. The window in the corridor was completely broken, with a big hole open, and the wind and snow poured in. He came out in a hurry, dressed very little, and stood outside shivering with cold, so cold that he could hardly speak. clear.
"Pei Yan," Xu Shixi slapped on the bone-chilling door outside, "I'm so cold."
The knock on the door was very light, but each knock fell heavily on his heart. Pei Yan sighed, but in the end he couldn't bear to let him be sad.
The door lock clicked from inside and opened. Pei Yan dragged him into the house and found that his body was covered in snow and his ears were red from the cold wind.
"How did you get here?" Pei Yan asked him.
Xu Shixi was so cold that he couldn't speak, and he slurred something, but Pei Yan didn't understand it. Under the light in the living room, he saw the folded knife in Pei Yan's hand, and wanted to reach for it, but then turned to Looking inside, Pei Yan didn't give it to him, so he put the knife in his pocket and said, "It's okay."
Seeing someone coming, Pei Nianzhong came back to his senses sitting on the toilet floor, stood up shaking with the door frame, went to the bedroom to get the cotton-padded jacket, put it on, didn't even put on his shoes, walked away from Pei Yan, and went out Door.
Xu Shixi didn't understand why at first, but he remembered that in the original book, Pei Yan thought about doing something, but he probably never did it. He called Gu Cong on the way, and only then did he hear Pei Nuonuo talk about why he was beaten. , he wanted to give Pei Yan a place where he could stay at ease for a while, but in the end he almost made a wrong step.
Pei Yan dragged him to his room to sit down, poured a hot water bottle and took out the quilt. Xu Shixi didn't want anything, tears fell down and hit the back of his hands, scorching hot.
Pei Yan put the quilt on him and hugged him, saying, "I have an audition the day after tomorrow, what should I do if my eyes are swollen?"
"I'm not going anywhere," Xu Shixi hugged his neck, bit the sweater on his shoulder and kept crying, "What if you're not here when I come back?"
Pei Yan turned on the phone, and within 2 minutes Gu Cong made a call, and when he picked it up, he heard Gu Cong's angry voice.
"Fuck, you idiot," Gu Cong said in a low voice in the hotel corridor, "If you want to go to jail, don't expect anyone to visit you."
"I'll talk about it later." Pei Yan listened to him scold for a while, let him vent his breath, and then hung up the phone again.
Pei Yan originally wanted to settle things before dawn, and if he settled Pei Nuonuo in the morning, he might be able to send Xu Shixi to the station in time before turning himself in, but he couldn't do it, it didn't matter if he went to jail, and someone would feel sorry for him.
Pei Min wiped away the tears from the corners of Xu Shixi's eyes, but he couldn't finish it no matter how much he wiped. Unlike last time, Pei Min felt uncomfortable when he cried, and he had never regretted it so much.
"I was wrong," Pei Yan hugged him and patted his back, "I was wrong, and I won't be like this in the future."
"I'll stay here tomorrow too." Xu Shixi went to kiss him, wet with tears.
"I'll take you to the station," Pei Yan held his frozen hands and said, "I'll call you when you get off the bus, and I'll call you at the hotel as well."
Xu Shixi shook his head, he suddenly found that Pei Yan was more important to him than he thought before, and he couldn't imagine the day when he would never see him again.
"There won't be a next time, I'll wait for you to come back." Pei Yan knew how long he had been waiting for this script, and he couldn't give up just because of such a trivial matter.
"Aren't you lying to me?" Xu Shixi asked him, wiping away tears.
"I'm not lying to you," Pei Yan thought for a while, then stretched out his little finger and asked him, "Pull the hook?"
"No," Xu Shixi's voice was a little hoarse, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly found that his voice sounded as if it had been scuffed by rough paper, "What if I didn't come today?"
"I won't do it," Pei Yan said, "I can't bear you."
The author has something to say: I'm sorry it's late today_(:_」∠)_ I want to make the uncomfortable episode pass quickly so that everyone doesn't feel too uncomfortable, so I wrote it a little longer
Liang Jiaping sent him only one-third of the script. In order to prevent the script from being leaked, he would not send the complete script to him until it was officially finalized. More than 30 years have passed. At that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now. It is difficult to find a lot of information on the Internet, and there are only some vague records.

"What are you doing?" Gu Cong took a bottle of fruit beer and asked him, "Want to enter the police academy?"
"No," Xu Shixi took the bottle from him, flipped through the webpage without looking up, and said, "I want to find out the details of this case."
Gu Cong looked at it for a long time but couldn't see why, so he didn't bother to care about him, and went to sit in the corner to deal with the pile of winter vacation homework.
Xu Shixi printed out that part of the script, bound it, and kept it at hand. When Pei Yan came over, he saw it, so he sat down and picked it up to have a look. On the cover, "Cold Fireworks" was written in black on a white background.
"Is this the movie?" Pei Yan asked him holding the script.
"Well, but it's not complete. The rest can only be seen after discussing the follow-up matters. During the audition, go and talk about it face-to-face." Xu Shixi said.
He is quite sure about his audition. At least in the current situation, Liang Jiaping has almost no better choice besides him. to what extent.
But the audition is one thing, and it is not so easy to make this movie well. The hero Fang Xun in the movie was 15 years old when he appeared on the stage, and he should be 39 years old by the end of the movie.

Fang Xia almost collapsed, and wanted to escape many times, but this town is full of nets, she can't take a step, and she can't bear Fang Xun, she just watched him grow from a palm, can't talk, can't walk, has been grown so big.
Fang Xun gradually started skipping classes, ran away from home, and would not go back to see Fang Xia once in ten days and a half months. Sometimes he would wonder if he had done something wrong, but the people around him kept telling him over and over again , you have no problem, she is so lowly, she deserves to be covered in mud.
Such depressive inner torture until one time he saw Fang Xia being beaten by a strange man at home. Fang Xun couldn't help but took a shovel from the door and hit him hard on the back twice. He wouldn't let go of what others said In my heart, my sister raised him, and no one can look down on her, except him.
He also didn't want Fang Xia to be a lady anymore. He wanted to make money quickly and take her to live in another place, so he went to the next town to learn how to repair cars. When I took the money she left, I saw several police cars parked at the door when I got home.

After arresting the murderer for 23 years, every night when he closes his eyes, there is a cluster of cold fireworks in front of him.
Xu Shixi also found a post on a forum many years ago on the Internet. The host said he was a local. I dare not set off that kind of fireworks again.
Pei Yan didn't understand the scripts of these movies, but he could roughly understand the plots, and gradually became a little fascinated by them.
Xu Shixi closed the forum page, only to find that Pei Yan was still watching, smiled and asked him, "Where did you see it?"
"No. 30 five games." Pei Yan said.
Xu Shixi still remembered that passage, even if he couldn't follow the lines of the scripts he had read, he would still have an impression.
The grades will come out tomorrow, and I have to go back to school to watch, and get my final homework by the way, Xu Shixi and Gu Cong went out to buy a midnight snack, after eating, it was also time for Pei Yan to get off work, so he went home with him.
For the past few days, Pei Yan walked with him to the fork in the road on the other side of their house, and then turned back to the hotel near the bar, but today he had to go back to get something.
When I walked downstairs, I saw that the lights on the third floor were on. There must be someone there. Pei Yan went up directly and found that the door was unlocked. In the living room, there were several people from Pei Nianzhong's previous construction site. He didn't go to work for three months, and the construction site didn't support idlers, so he had already resigned.
Pei Yan couldn't help but frowned when he smelled the smell of wine. When he walked to the door of his room, he found that the door lock had been broken. It was a mess, several cards were on him, and there was only one old card with 30 yuan left in the cabinet, which disappeared.
Pei Yan took the few notebooks he needed to use, closed the door and went downstairs again. When he returned to the hotel, Pei Nuonuo was fast asleep.
The heating in the hotel was not very hot, so Pei Yan found another quilt and covered her with it.
He has been hesitating in his heart. Although Liu Chunling and Pei Nianzhong are married, they have not received a certificate. If Pei Nianzhong dies, Pei Nuonuo's custody will not fall into her hands. He has saved hundreds of thousands in the past few years. , although not much, probably enough for her.
He hasn't considered the question of whether it's worth it or not. He has long wanted to do this. After thinking about it for many years, he has thought of many ways, and every step is very clear in his mind.
When he came back that night, he asked Pei Nuonuo, and Pei Nuonuo said that she accidentally told the story of her stay at Xu Shixi's house, but she didn't say who it was, and then she was beaten, once there would be a second time, No matter what the reason is, it's just an insignificant trigger point, and it will only get worse in the future. It's impossible for him to rush back every time.
Pei Yan took out the pocket watch with a slightly sluggish time from his shirt pocket. The outer shell was only in contact with the skin through a thin layer of clothing, and it was always warm. Thinking about what made him unable to make up his mind the most now was that once he If he did it, Xu Shixi would definitely feel sorry for him.
The Fang Xun that Xu Shixi wants to play is a criminal policeman who is always persistent and enthusiastic and will not let any crime go, but he wants to be a murderer?
It was snowing heavily outside, and the roads were full of snow. Looking out from the window on the fifth floor of the hotel, there was a vast expanse of whiteness on the slightly lower roof in the distance. Or in the winter of the next year, where is Xu Shixi, what is he doing, will he remember him.
Pei Yan had been wearing earphones, which contained the song sung by Xu Shixi at the last graduation ceremony. He converted it into audio, but failed to filter out the voices of other people around him.
At the beginning, there was laughter from the audience. He still remembered that Xu Shixi looked back at Fang Xiaochun who was wearing a skirt, and then the guitar plucked and played a short prelude.
"...singing this song for you has no style
it just means i want you to be happy
Thaw the glaciers for you, be a moth to the fire for you
nothing is not worth it
......"
When Xu Shixi woke up in the morning, he heard on the radio that it had been snowing heavily for the past few days. He bought a train ticket for the day after tomorrow. I don't know what the weather is like over there.
After going to school, he was anxious to read his report card. He was in the ninth place, and this semester was the first time he entered the top ten. If this continues, C University will basically be stable.
When returning to his seat, Pei Yan handed him two very thick notebooks. Xu Shixi took them over and looked at them. They were actually the key points of review for all subjects. The pages were marked, which paragraphs should be memorized and which ones do not need to be read, and the corresponding teacher sent them. The page numbers of the questions in the key workbooks, some of the answers to the questions are very long-winded, so Pei Yan posted a post-it note next to it, saying that you can just read this.
Xu Shixi touched the margin of the slightly scrolled page, blinked, but was unable to speak.
"You can watch this during the winter vacation." Pei Yan told him.
"Aren't you here during the winter vacation?" Xu Shixi asked him.
"Shouldn't be here," Pei Yan said, "If you need anything, go to Gu Cong."
"I'm fine, I'm bored without you here." Xu Shixi took out a small jar from his schoolbag, which contained amber walnuts made by himself. They couldn't taste the walnuts after being coated with sugar. "Try taste."
Pei Yan didn't know why he was so obsessed with eating walnuts for himself. He really didn't like them, but he ate them every time he took them, probably because Xu Shixi gave them to him, and it didn't seem that bad.
You don't need to go to class today, you can leave after you have finished picking up your things all morning and have a class meeting. After going downstairs, Xu Shixi and Pei Yan walked through the back door of the school. Standing on the flyover leading to the back playground, you can see the river below. There is snow on the ice.
They left late, and there are usually not many people going home from this side of the back playground. Except for a boy sitting on the horizontal bar on the other side of the track, there was no one else. Under the old tree whose branches were overturned by the snow, Xu Shixi grabbed Pei Yan, put his hands on the back of his neck to make him bow his head slightly, and then kissed him.
Pei Yan looked down at him, but in the end he still didn't say a word.
"After the Chinese New Year, my family will have dinner." Xu Shixi said.
"Let's go." Pei Yan saw someone coming down from the bridge and told him.
The snow on the road is too thick these days, and there is no class and no hurry. Xu Shixi didn't ride a bike, and walked home with Pei Yan. I walked across the small park to go home. There was no one in it at noon, and there were not many footprints on the snow.
Xu Shixi followed him, walking forward on his footsteps, Pei Yan suddenly stopped, Xu Shixi just looked at the ground, didn't pay attention to the front, accidentally hit his forehead directly on his back, rubbing his forehead in a daze.
"Come on," Pei Yan reached out to him, "carry you on your back."
Xu Shixi shook his head, smiled and said, "Why do you always want to carry me on your back?"
Pei Yan hated physical contact with people, but it was different for Xu Shixi, he could hug her or whatever, and he couldn't help but want to get closer when they were together.
"Carry you to the front steps." Pei Yan said.
"Don't throw me." Xu Shixi walked over and put his shoulders on him from behind.
It has just snowed, and the ground is not firm enough to be slippery. Pei Yan said, "I can't fall."
After walking a short distance, Pei Yan asked him, "What time does the car leave the day after tomorrow?"
"At 09:30 in the morning, at the West Railway Station."
"be careful on the road."
Xu Shixi wanted to laugh a little after hearing this, and said, "Then you can call me and you will know where I am. It will take a long time to arrive at night."
"Where did you live?" Pei Yan avoided his words and asked again.
"I've booked a hotel," Xu Shixi hugged his neck and kissed his ear, whispered a little embarrassedly, "I like you so much."
He spoke in a very low voice, and Pei Yan didn't respond. Xu Shixi thought he didn't hear it. It's fine if he didn't hear it. He didn't know why he blurted out such a sentence. I love him very much, it is different from what other people say, I will not lie to him, and I can always be by his side.
Pei Yan said that he would let him down when he reached the steps, but he was about to walk to the gate of the park. He only let him down when he saw that there were more people in front of him. When they got to this place, they were on the way. Xu Shixi went back home towards the alley to the east. .
When he went to the audition, he planned to show Liang Jiaping the materials he had sorted out in the past two days, as well as a little character analysis and other thoughts written down. He had to pack his things and take two pieces of clothes when he went back.
Pei Yan went back to the hotel and stayed there until dark. The ashtray was full of cigarette butts. He kept the window open. Pei Nuonuo was still choking and coughing when he came back from cram school, so Pei Yan didn't let her in. , took her out for dinner, and when she came back at night, there was no smell of cigarettes.
These two days Xu Shixi couldn't come to the bar. Gu Cong felt quite boring by himself. The main reason is that his game playing skills are actually very average. He rarely met anyone who was better than him. Finally, he met one in his lifetime. Xu Shixi was very appreciative. If you don't get any traces, you will have a sense of accomplishment.
Unlike Pei Yan, who wants to show it to him, but he doesn't understand what the game is, or just take a look at it coldly, it's like pouring cold water on him, and he completely loses the desire to communicate with him| Look, I don't know how to get along with him for so many years, and I can still be brothers. This is probably the true love in the world. Every time Gu Cong thinks of it, he has to be moved by his love.
Gu Cong went to warm up a glass of milk, Pei Yan entered the bar and passed by him, Gu Cong smelled the smell of cigarettes all over his body, looked up, Pei Yan had already gone to the dressing room to change.
Pei Yan poured the package of medicine into the bathroom and flushed it away, and went out to deliver wine, but he still couldn't.
But this winter vacation can't let Pei Nuonuo stay at home. It's okay to go to school normally, at least not during the day. Now I stay at home all day, I'm a little worried. It's better to stay in a hotel all the time. It's not good to rent a house during the two days of the New Year. Can wait and see.
I don't have much time at night, I've been working all the time, and I still need to read books when I get back. Pei Yan plans to go home tomorrow morning to pack his things. He won't need anything else for a while, so he has to bring out two changes of clothes.
Liu Chunling seemed to have found a job by herself, selling goods in a store, and Pei Nianzhong was the only one at home during the day.
When Pei Min went back in the morning, he was still asleep, and he could hear snoring through the door. Pei Min went to fetch a sweater and cotton jacket for Pei Nuonuo, and then went to his own room. There were not many belongings left, and when I went to get the locked wooden box under the bed, I found that a photo album was missing.
He searched in the room but couldn't find it, so he went outside again, and finally found it on the tea table that hadn't been cleared away. On the messy soup table, the photo album was spread out under the mutton pot, and the corner was covered with cigarette butts. They were burnt until they were burnt yellow and blackened, and there were holes in some photos, and half of the faces in the photos were burned off.
The photo album was placed at the bottom of the box. He didn't know how Pei Nianzhong knew and found it, but it was undoubtedly on purpose.
Anger and hatred accumulated to the extreme, but surprisingly calm, Pei Yan wiped the photo album and picked it up, went over and kicked open the door of Pei Nianzhong's room.
Pei Nianzhong woke up from his sleep. The moment he looked at the door, he was almost out of breath. He didn't even dare to say anything, but when his eyes fell on the photo album in Pei Yan's hand, he felt confident again. After getting married, it has only been a few years, and then I start to look at the photo album secretly every night, what is there to worry about a dead person, remembering that even she is dead, she deserves it.
Pei Yan didn't listen to what he was yelling at behind, and went out with his schoolbag.
There is only one copy of those photos, and if they are burned, there will be no more. His father's face in his memory has long been blurred, and the only thing left is this thin photo album.
Pei Yan just had a rest tonight, so he went outside the hotel and called Gu Cong.
"Come pick up Pei Nuonuo tomorrow morning." Pei Yan sent him the hotel address and room number.
"Okay," Gu Cong said while still eating, "Do you have something to do?"
"Well," Pei Yan said, the snow stopped for a while, and the wind was very fast on the road, "Pick her up to the bar, and then call me."
Gu Cong agreed. He used to help pick it up occasionally, so he didn't think too much about it. He wrote papers in the bar for a whole day, and his mind couldn't move. When he couldn't stand the hunger, he saw that it was already dark outside. , it was past eleven o'clock, and now I wake up hungry in the middle of the night, and I plan to order a pizza delivery, but the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong.
He got up and went out with his mobile phone, and went to the hotel ahead of time. Pei Nuonuo opened the door when he saw him through the cat's eyes. When he opened the box and saw the photo album, he realized that it was broken, and when he called Pei Yan again, it was turned off.
There is no case that Pei Yan's mobile phone is dead or lost, it can only be turned off by himself.
It took more than half an hour to get from the bar to Pei Yan's house, and now the road was bad and it was even slower, so Gu Cong called Xu Shixi.
To catch the train tomorrow morning, Xu Shixi was already asleep, but when he received his call, he sat up and called Pei Yan while getting dressed, but no one answered.
He didn't think Pei Yan would do something impulsively, but he couldn't tell.
At night, the wind and snow were very heavy, and the whole alley was dark, the voltage was unstable, and the street lights were flickering. Before Xu Shixi could pull up his coat, the cold wind poured into his arms.
He originally wanted to ride a bicycle, but when he went out, he might as well walk faster, so he walked directly along the roadside where the snow was shallow. It was past twelve o'clock, and the weather was minus [-] degrees in the middle of the night, and the street was almost empty. , Xu Shixi wanted to make another call, but the phone was so cold that the battery dropped, and the touch screen was already insensitive, so he had to put it away.
When I walked downstairs to Pei Yan's house, my hands were already frozen, and I couldn't hold the handrail of the stairs tightly in the dark corridor.
Pei Yan heard the whistling wind and snow outside the window, holding in his hand the utility knife that his father had left behind for field trips, Pei Nianzhong hid in the toilet and locked the door behind him, daring not to come out, but the lock was a little bit tight. Pei Yan pried it open with a knife blade, the living room was dimly lit, and when the toilet door opened, Pei Nianzhong was too frightened to make a sound for help, the coldness in the boy's eyes was a bit colder than the knife edge.
Pei Yan was still struggling in his heart. With this knife, he could shatter the nightmare of his entire boyhood, but after the nightmare, it was like another abyss that could not be seen to the bottom, and there was no way out. No longer exists after the snowstorm.
Every step he took, the old scar was still hurting, every slap he took, the belt pulled to his red, swollen and festered back, the moment he was about to raise the knife, he heard clearly in the silent night The sound of the pocket watch gears turning.
The hand gradually fell back again, and the blade was put away.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the living room. He thought it was Liu Chunling who had come back. Then he thought that he had already inquired that she should be on the night shift today and would not be coming back at this time.
Pei Yan looked down at Pei Nianzhong, closed the toilet door again, and walked towards the door. It was too dark outside to see who it was, and stood quietly for a while before hearing Xu Shixi's voice through the door.
Xu Shixi knocked twice again. The window in the corridor was completely broken, with a big hole open, and the wind and snow poured in. He came out in a hurry, dressed very little, and stood outside shivering with cold, so cold that he could hardly speak. clear.
"Pei Yan," Xu Shixi slapped on the bone-chilling door outside, "I'm so cold."
The knock on the door was very light, but each knock fell heavily on his heart. Pei Yan sighed, but in the end he couldn't bear to let him be sad.
The door lock clicked from inside and opened. Pei Yan dragged him into the house and found that his body was covered in snow and his ears were red from the cold wind.
"How did you get here?" Pei Yan asked him.
Xu Shixi was so cold that he couldn't speak, and he slurred something, but Pei Yan didn't understand it. Under the light in the living room, he saw the folded knife in Pei Yan's hand, and wanted to reach for it, but then turned to Looking inside, Pei Yan didn't give it to him, so he put the knife in his pocket and said, "It's okay."
Seeing someone coming, Pei Nianzhong came back to his senses sitting on the toilet floor, stood up shaking with the door frame, went to the bedroom to get the cotton-padded jacket, put it on, didn't even put on his shoes, walked away from Pei Yan, and went out Door.
Xu Shixi didn't understand why at first, but he remembered that in the original book, Pei Yan thought about doing something, but he probably never did it. He called Gu Cong on the way, and only then did he hear Pei Nuonuo talk about why he was beaten. , he wanted to give Pei Yan a place where he could stay at ease for a while, but in the end he almost made a wrong step.
Pei Yan dragged him to his room to sit down, poured a hot water bottle and took out the quilt. Xu Shixi didn't want anything, tears fell down and hit the back of his hands, scorching hot.
Pei Yan put the quilt on him and hugged him, saying, "I have an audition the day after tomorrow, what should I do if my eyes are swollen?"
"I'm not going anywhere," Xu Shixi hugged his neck, bit the sweater on his shoulder and kept crying, "What if you're not here when I come back?"
Pei Yan turned on the phone, and within 2 minutes Gu Cong made a call, and when he picked it up, he heard Gu Cong's angry voice.
"Fuck, you idiot," Gu Cong said in a low voice in the hotel corridor, "If you want to go to jail, don't expect anyone to visit you."
"I'll talk about it later." Pei Yan listened to him scold for a while, let him vent his breath, and then hung up the phone again.
Pei Yan originally wanted to settle things before dawn, and if he settled Pei Nuonuo in the morning, he might be able to send Xu Shixi to the station in time before turning himself in, but he couldn't do it, it didn't matter if he went to jail, and someone would feel sorry for him.
Pei Min wiped away the tears from the corners of Xu Shixi's eyes, but he couldn't finish it no matter how much he wiped. Unlike last time, Pei Min felt uncomfortable when he cried, and he had never regretted it so much.
"I was wrong," Pei Yan hugged him and patted his back, "I was wrong, and I won't be like this in the future."
"I'll stay here tomorrow too." Xu Shixi went to kiss him, wet with tears.
"I'll take you to the station," Pei Yan held his frozen hands and said, "I'll call you when you get off the bus, and I'll call you at the hotel as well."
Xu Shixi shook his head, he suddenly found that Pei Yan was more important to him than he thought before, and he couldn't imagine the day when he would never see him again.
"There won't be a next time, I'll wait for you to come back." Pei Yan knew how long he had been waiting for this script, and he couldn't give up just because of such a trivial matter.
"Aren't you lying to me?" Xu Shixi asked him, wiping away tears.
"I'm not lying to you," Pei Yan thought for a while, then stretched out his little finger and asked him, "Pull the hook?"
"No," Xu Shixi's voice was a little hoarse, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly found that his voice sounded as if it had been scuffed by rough paper, "What if I didn't come today?"
"I won't do it," Pei Yan said, "I can't bear you."
The author has something to say: I'm sorry it's late today_(:_」∠)_ I want to make the uncomfortable episode pass quickly so that everyone doesn't feel too uncomfortable, so I wrote it a little longer
