Wait till the sun rises

"Grandpa is not at home, I'm going to a friend's house." Xia Yang's voice was a little tense, but Xu Jiming's mood was not stable at this time, and he didn't notice anything unusual. Entered the corridor behind Xia Yang.

Xu Jiming, the house Xia Yang rented, stared at Xia Yang's back, opened and closed his mouth, and finally said: "Going to work on the weekend?"

"Well, it's very busy at the end of the year." Xia Yang paused and said, "When did you return to China?"

"...The day before yesterday."

During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the door of Xia Yang's house, Xu Jiming said: "...how is Grandpa?"

"Very good." Xia Yang took out the key from his pocket, and asked casually, "Come to city B with your girlfriend?"

"Ah?" Xu Jiming was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, it was my classmate who was abroad who met by chance and had dinner together."

"Really?" Xia Yang seemed to smile lightly, but he tried several times for the key in his hand before finally getting out and unlocking the door.

"You don't need to change your shoes, just sit down."

"Okay." Xu Jiming put the things in his hands on the coffee table, and then began to look at the situation in the room.

As soon as you enter the door, the kitchen is on the left, the bathroom is on the right, and the living room is connected.

There is a sofa next to the wall. It looks old, and some of the paint leather on it has fallen off. In front of the sofa is a black and white coffee table with water cups, tea bottles, and a glass ash. cylinder.

The most striking thing is that there is a large open space next to the kitchen in this house, which is connected with the living room, which makes the originally small space seem to be enlarged a lot. There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window with floral decorations hanging on it. curtain.

Xia Yang followed Xu Jiming's line of sight and said, "This house is different from the others. It may be because of the landlord's personal preference that a floor-to-ceiling window was installed."

Xu Jiming turned his head and saw Xia Yang was drinking water. He raised his head, revealing his white and slender neck. His Adam's apple moved up and down due to the movement of swallowing. Xu Jiming couldn't look away for a while.

Xia Yang put down the cup, wiped the water stains on his lips with his fingers, and turned to look at the curtains, "I like this house."

Xu Jiming said, "Very good."

After speaking, both of them were silent, and no one spoke for a while.

"you……"

"you……"

The two looked at each other, and turned their faces away at the same time.

"You talk first." Xu Jiming clasped his hands together and then slowly released them. Xia Yang opened his mouth, but the phone in his pocket rang.

Xia Yang glanced down, went to the side to answer the phone, said a few words, Xu Jiming saw that he turned his head and looked in the direction where he was locked, and couldn't help sitting upright on the sofa, feeling a little bit in his heart. nervous.

Xia Yang hung up the phone, feeling a little embarrassed, "Is there something wrong?"

Xia Yang grabbed the phone and frowned, "I have something to do with the company, I'm now..."

"Oh, as long as you are busy with your work." Xu Jiming stood up upon hearing this, picked up the scarf that had just been placed on the sofa, and said, "I'm going out for a stroll."

He lowered his head and hung the scarf around his neck, not noticing that Xia Yang's right hand grasped the phone so hard that his finger bones turned white.

Xia Yang pursed his lips and said, "There's no good place to go at this point." Xu Jiming raised his eyes, and Xia Yang said, "If you don't mind, you can rest here."

Xu Jiming's eyes lit up, and then he seemed to be worried, looked at Xia Yang's face, and said softly, "Will this be inconvenient?"

Xia Yang pursed his lips, then forced a smile and said, "Why, Grandpa is not at home, I have to go to work, if you are bored, you can go online."

"Okay." Xu Jiming scrutinized Xia Yang's eyebrows and eyes, and finally nodded solemnly as if he couldn't stand the temptation.

Xia Yang seemed relieved, took out a spare key from the drawer and gave it to him, and said: "If you are really bored, you can go out for a walk. There is a small square near this community, you can sit there."

Listening to his rambling, Xu Jiming's body finally relaxed, with a gentle smile on his lips that he didn't realize, nodded and said: "Okay."

·

Xia Yang's fingers fluttered and he tapped on the keyboard to input data into the computer, but his eyes didn't fall on the computer screen, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Xiao Xia, the information you need."

Xia Yang came back to his senses, took a thick stack of materials, and said, "Thank you."

The colleague looked at him worriedly, and said, "Are you okay? You don't look well? Is there something uncomfortable?"

"No."

"Really? It's very cold today, and many people have gone to the hospital to hang water. If you don't feel well, don't hold on." The colleague looked at him sincerely.

Xia Yang's heart warmed, he patted the man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's really fine, maybe it's because I'm too busy with work, I haven't even had a good rest these days."

"That's not it." The colleague smiled and felt relieved, "I don't know how long it will last, let alone, I still have a lot of things to do."

Xia Yang deliberately kept himself busy and forced himself not to think about Xu Jiming, but it was true that his thoughts became more uncontrollable, that person was waiting for him at his home.

The night enveloped people like covering the sky and covering the earth.

There is no moon in the sky, let alone stars.

The wisteria flowers in the backyard sway with the warm night wind and emit an intoxicating fragrance.Xia Yang sat on the stone steps, and Bailey lay at his feet.On his right were several empty beer cans.

The one in his hand was already empty, Xia Yang shook it, threw it out, and opened another can.

Before it was delivered to the lips, it was snatched away halfway.

Xia Yang turned around and took a look. Under the darkness of night, Xu Jiming's face sank like water.

"How did you come?"

"Come and see you." Xu Jiming's voice was hoarse, he raised his head and drank the can of beer in his hand in one go.

I don't know if it was because of their state of mind, even in midsummer, they felt cold in shorts and T-shirts on this night.

Xia Yang opened another can of beer, but Xu Jiming still snatched it away.

After Xia Yang watched Xu Jiming drink a can of beer without changing his expression, he said softly, "I'm very scared."

"If Grandpa is gone one day, what should I do?"

Xu Jiming squeezed the empty beer can in his hand and shaped it into shape.Xu Jiming opened his mouth and ruffled Xia Yang's hair with his hands. He said, "Don't worry, Grandpa will be fine."

Xia Yang grabbed Xu Jiming's hand, his fingers were icy cold.Xu Jiming seemed to be scalded, he wanted to get rid of it but couldn't bear it.

Xia Yang held his hand tightly and interlocked his fingers. He lowered his head, his broken hair covered his eyes and eyebrows. Xu Jiming turned his head away, only to find that he was crying.

Just like when he was a child, Xia Yang didn't make a sound when he cried, and always shed tears silently. Xu Jiming felt like a knife was piercing his heart. He reached out clumsily and rubbed Xia Yang's hair, "Don't cry, grandpa So good, I will live a long life and be with you for a long time, and you still have... me."

Big drops of tears fell down, Xu Jiming was distressed, but also felt guilt that couldn't be concealed. If, if grandpa had an irreparable accident because of that incident, what should he do?

Xu Jiming, who has always been eloquent, is now like a dull robot, only repeating that sentence over and over again. ——"It will be fine."

Feeling his hands being clenched, Xu Jiming raised his head, and saw Xia Yang's bright eyes with tears in his eyes, and before he could react, Xia Yang's handsome face with tears stained it enlarged in front of him Yes, there is a warm touch on the lips.

He is kissing him.
