Night walk

Mo Zhao's father was too busy, so only Mo Zhao's mother had dinner with them.Qiao Yixiao wasn't able to talk at all, but Qiao Dongyang's mouth was very sweet. With his foil, his mouth became even sweeter, making Mo Zhao's mother laugh again and again.

Qiao Yixiao heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately Qiao Dongyang was there.Otherwise, he and Mo Zhao wouldn't talk too much, and they wouldn't be able to coax people, so how should they coax the elders?

We stayed there together that night.

It started to rain at night, and Qiao Yixiao woke up in a daze.It's September, and the days are hot, but the nights are cool.In this season, there is no need to turn on the air conditioner, and it is most comfortable to sleep with a thin quilt with the windows open.However, because of the rain and wind, the window connected to the balcony was hit by raindrops from time to time, and the curtains also floated up, making a loud noise.

He rubbed his eyes and got up to close the window.Walking to the window, he was fascinated by the rainy night outside.He looked at the clock on the wall again. They went to bed early, and it was just past two o'clock in the morning.

In fact, today is his mother's birthday, but when she was alive, she didn't like birthdays, not to mention that she was gone long ago, Qiao Yixiao never celebrated her birthday.Just like Chinese New Year, this is one year less than one year, and none of them want to mention it.

But Qiao Yixiao remembered clearly.

The weather was still so good during the day, but it started to rain at night, and Qiao Yixiao couldn't help but feel a little sad.He walked to the balcony, simply opened the window, and looked up at the sky.It was pitch black, and in sight, only raindrops could be seen falling.

He was fascinated until Mo Zhao's voice came from behind him: "Isn't it cool?"

He shook his head, Mo Zhao walked to his side, looked up at the sky, and said with a sleepy voice, "She knows you are doing well, so she will feel at ease."

Qiao Yixiao knew who his "she" was referring to, and said amusedly: "Actually, when a person dies, he is gone. No matter how good I am now, she can't see it. What goes to heaven or goes to hell, it's all about me." Just tease yourself."

"Before she leaves, her greatest expectation for you is that you have a good life."

Qiao Yixiao nodded: "Yes, I will live well." After speaking, he felt a little hypocritical. His mother has been gone for more than ten years. When he was a child, he was busy studying, surviving, and hating the world. There really was no such moment , to be able to calm down and think about his mother's words.What's the point of saying this now?The future is still so long, he just wants to live a good life.

He reached out and closed the window of the balcony, and pulled Mo Zhao into the house: "Go on to sleep." After the two of them walked back into the room, he closed the window of the bedroom and drew the curtains.In this way, the bedroom became dark.In the past, I liked and feared such darkness. I liked being able to hide myself, but I was afraid of being alone in the dark.

Now it doesn't matter, whether it's black or bright, he's not alone anyway.

Lie back on the bed but couldn't fall asleep anymore, Mo Zhao also lost sleepiness, the two started chatting.

Mo Zhao asked him, "Do you like the north or the south?"

"I was born and grew up in the south. I am so old, I have never been to other places except Beijing once when I was a child. But I don't know if I can adapt to an unfamiliar place." He said, turning Looking at Mo Zhao in the darkness, "Are you going to change places?"

"Ah."

"I can do it, you can choose the place you like. Now that the transportation is so convenient, if you go to Xinjiang, it only takes four or five hours by plane."

"As long as you like it."

Hearing this, Qiao Yixiao became happy again, and the previous sadness quickly disappeared. He smiled and said, "Are you trying to make me happy?"

Mo Zhao also laughed: "It's the truth."

Qiao Yixiao propped himself up from the bed, and said seriously: "I think, you need to find a city that can really do something. After you go there, what can you really do for the local people. For example, build roads? Adjust housing prices? Or solve the employment problem?” When he heard Mo Zhao’s smile, he immediately became unhappy again, “I know what I said is naive, but do you think it’s true? Otherwise, what’s the point of your governments?! If these You can't even solve the problem, what kind of official! You stay there for a few years and then leave, isn't the local people still unlucky?"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Qiao Yixiao got down again and said in a low voice, "Well, actually, you've been doing this all along. I think too much."

"It's because of you that I remember to do this all the time." Mo Zhao took his hand.

"Really?" Qiao Yixiao asked him, before he got a response, he laughed again.The smile was sweet, but he felt ashamed. He buried his head in the pillow, but the laughter still leaked out.

The two talked for a long time, and then mentioned Qiao Dongyang.Seeing that it was almost dawn, Qiao Yixiao was already very sleepy, so he still talked with Mo Zhao.

Mo Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Go to sleep, when can't you talk? Look, it's already dawn."

Qiao Yixiao faced him and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going back at dawn? You are busy recently, and I am too. When will we meet?"

"I won't go back after dawn."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Qiao Yixiao just showed a smile, he thought, if you don't come back after dawn, you will go back when it is completely dawn that day, right?Mo Zhao must have something urgent to come back, and he must leave after finishing.But he didn't say anything, knowing that it was rare for Mo Zhao to sleep well, so he honestly didn't say anything.He took Mo Zhao's hand and fell asleep after a while.

His face was half buried in the pillow, and his two hands tightly held Mo Zhao's left hand.

It was already dawn outside, and with a little light, Mo Zhao looked at Qiao Yixiao like this, but felt that his heart was so full that he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.He stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Yixiao into his arms, Qiao Yixiao moved, and in his sleep, he pillowed himself on Mo Zhao's chest.

The chest was heavy, and Qiao Yixiao's fluffy hair could still be felt on the chin, and Mo Zhao immediately felt at ease.

The next morning, the two naturally failed to get up on time.

Qiao Dongyang and He Zhiwan had breakfast together. Qiao Dongyang took a sip of soy milk, looked towards their bedroom, and asked, "Auntie, really don't ask them to get up for breakfast? It's not good for your health if you don't eat breakfast."

He Zhiwan smiled: "I'm usually busy with work, so I rarely sleep in, so let them go."

"Oh." Although Qiao Dongyang was stupid, he was 20 years old after all. He thought for a while, and for some reason, he laughed foolishly.

He Zhiwan helped him serve another bowl of sweet potato porridge, and asked him softly, "Dongyang, I'll go back to your hometown with Mo Zhao and Xiaoxiao later."

"Ah?" Qiao Dongyang looked at her in surprise.

"Today is Xiaoxiao's mother's birthday."

"Oh..." Qiao Dongyang couldn't help but blush, and when he mentioned Qiao Yixiao's mother, he felt blush.He and his mother were ashamed of them.

"Do you want to go?" He Zhiwan didn't deliberately say anything to comfort him.

Qiao Dongyang was very grateful to He Zhiwan for doing this, he immediately nodded and said, "I'll go! But I don't know if my brother will be unhappy if I go..."

"Your brother, don't you know?"

Qiao Dongyang muttered: "I know, but with my identity..."

"You are you."

Qiao Dongyang didn't speak any more, and buried himself in eating the porridge and soup dumplings in front of him, so that he returned to normal.He looked at the still closed door of the bedroom, and asked, "Then why don't you wake them up? The rain has finally stopped. If we go late, it might rain again."

As soon as the voice fell, the bedroom door opened.

But it was Mo Zhao who came out alone. He had already changed his clothes and looked like he was going out.He glanced at them and said, "Mom, we're ready to go."

"Okay, my brother will go too."

Mo Zhao glanced at Qiao Dongyang, Qiao Dongyang was about to lower his head subconsciously, but he still held on, bravely looked at Mo Zhao, nodded and said, "I'll go."

"what ever."

"Xiaoxiao is still awake?" He Zhiwan asked.

Mo Zhao's face was stained with a smile: "Last night, he kept pulling me to talk, and only fell asleep at dawn. It's okay, he can continue to sleep."

He Zhiwan also smiled: "Let's go downstairs first."

After that, she took Qiao Dongyang downstairs.Qiao Dongyang looked back in a daze. He Zhiwan called him from the front, so he ran forward.When I got downstairs, I found that the car had been waiting for a long time. It was a seven-seater car.The trunk was open, and there were many things in it, including flowers, which were obviously prepared long ago.

Qiao Dongyang felt more and more ashamed, but it was only natural for him to pay homage to Qiao Yixiao's mother.He will pay off the debt owed by his mother.

Qiao Dongyang and He Zhiwan were sitting in the car together, and Mo Zhao's figure appeared after a short wait.

only!Mo Zhao was still holding Qiao Yixiao who was still asleep in his arms, and Qiao Dongyang was startled.He opened his mouth wide, watching Mo Zhao slowly approaching the car with Qiao Yixiao in his arms, it took him a while to recover, and he immediately turned to look at He Zhiwan.He was afraid that He Zhiwan wouldn't like this, but he didn't expect that He Zhiwan was covering her mouth with a smile, and when she noticed his gaze, she comforted him and said, "Don't worry, there is no surveillance in our house, and there is no one around at this time, there will be no one." See."

Qiao Dongyang smiled awkwardly, that's not what he was worried about!But it's okay, Mo Zhao's mother laughed, which means that not only does she not reject it, but she is happy to see it happen?He also laughed foolishly, that's great, it turns out that Mo Zhao's mother really likes Qiao Yixiao so much.

Mo was used to doing this for a long time. He put Qiao Yixiao in the back seat of the car lightly, and then closed the door lightly. He and Qiao Dongyang sat in the same row.He didn't speak anymore, but his eyes signaled that they should also be quiet.

Qiao Dongyang nodded immediately, indicating that he must not speak.

He Zhiwan smiled and asked the driver to drive the car out.

Qiao Dongyang looked back at Qiao Yixiao who was sleeping, Mo Zhao beside him, and He Zhiwan sitting in front of him.Is this what family feels like?

The air after the rain is humid but also clear, and there is still water on the road.

Their car drove to their hometown like this.
