if you are still there

City D is generally cool at night in summer, but if there is a thunderstorm, it will be muggy and hot before the rain falls.

Ding Xu and the others rented a private house with a small courtyard. There is a small kitchen inside. The flowers and plants in the yard grow lushly, and there is a fig tree. In summer, the leaves are lush and stretch out. It takes up a lot of space, and there are only small green fruits on it, twisted on it, like a much smaller melon.

Ding Xu sat in the small courtyard to enjoy the shade, waving a cattail fan, he looked like a young man who was leisurely hiding from the world, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

The iron gate at the entrance of the courtyard rang, and Ding Xu looked up and saw that it was Xiao Liangwen who had returned.

Xiao Liangwen brought the watermelon from outside, and it was chilled with well water. When it was cut open, there were still tiny drops of water on the skin, and the flesh was crispy and sweet. Cool juice, sweet.

Ding Xu took the watermelon, ate a few mouthfuls, and asked, "Where did you buy it? This is delicious."

Xiao Liangwen picked up the palm-leaf fan he had put aside, fanned it for him, and said, "I bought it at the street corner, soaked in the well and just picked it up. I looked good, so I bought one and came back to try it."

Ding Xu's skin is fair, and he is afraid of the cold and heat. He is wearing short-sleeved shorts at the moment, and there are several red envelopes on his arms after being bitten by a mosquito.Xiao Liangwen touched it, Ding Xu avoided it, and lazily said: "It's not itchy, don't touch it."

Xiao Liangwen sat next to him and chatted with him: "I think you are quite comfortable here, why don't we buy a house here in the future and live here?"

Ding Xu put down the melon rind, took another piece, took a bite and said vaguely: "You don't even have a permanent place to live, and you still want to buy a house? Save some money, and there are no better universities here, and the economic level is also low. Generally speaking, no matter whether you are doing business or studying, you should not come here for development within four years.”

Xiao Liangwen listened to him and didn't refute him, but felt a little bit reluctant to part with such a yard.He felt that Ding Xu was very suitable to plant many flowers and trees in such a small yard. In the summer night, the shadows of the flowers were mottled. He lay on the rocking chair here, waiting for him to go home.

Ding Xu couldn't finish eating a watermelon, so he urged Xiao Liangwen to eat some too. After the two of them finished eating, they looked at the blue night sky for a while. The stars were already hidden in the clouds, and they could be seen even at night. A cloud is floating and covering the appearance of the moon.

Ding Xu looked at it for a while, then suddenly said, "It might be raining."

While fanning him, Xiao Liangwen looked up and said, "It's going to rain."

Ding Xu wiped his hands and asked him again: "When you were in southern Xinjiang, did it often rain, or was there a lot of wind and sand?"

Xiao Liangwen thought for a while, and said: "Fortunately, it's cold in the morning and sunny at noon, and sometimes I have training in the middle of the night, and I'm stuck on the roof." He was a little embarrassed, rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled, "I just went to In order not to keep up with the progress of the training, I was forced to stand starving together with a few soldiers transferred from other military regions, and I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I climbed over the wall and went in to steal the canned food from the chief of staff.”

Ding Xu became a little interested and said, "Did you get caught?"

Xiao Liangwen said honestly: "Caught it, Major Pan punished us all by squatting on the wall and eating five canned beef."

Canned food for military use is not the same as the ones sold outside. They are all high-calorie and full-bodied foods. The solid beef is almost enough to eat as soon as you listen to the canned food. After eating five cold canned beef with thick fat in one breath, I don't feel well after eating it.

Pan Feng didn't let them spit it out, the five of them squatted on the wall for a whole night, their faces were all pale the next day, and they never dared to cause trouble again.

Although it's been a long time, but thinking about it now, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Xiao Liangwen's face was not very good, and he rubbed his stomach.

"You deserve it, Pan Feng dares to provoke you." Ding Xu sighed, and smiled, "Besides training with Pan Feng and the others, did you go to see jade? Last time I heard you said, I went with a jade carving master , called Xu Gong?"

Xiao Liangwen said vaguely: "Yes, I stayed in the jade mine for a few months, Xu Gong and the others found a batch of seed materials, transported them out with mules, and left."

Ding Xu thought for a while, then squinted his eyes and said, "Do you want to start a jade business? It's not jade, it's just a batch of Tianhuang stones. There will be an auction in S Province in a while, and a batch of Tianhuang stones will be processed. These things are kept The engraved seal is pretty good, it can be stored for two more years, I heard from my grandfather that it will increase in value."

In the past two years, Tian Huangshi has just started to increase the price, but the price is not stable, sometimes high and sometimes low. The batch dealt with by S city was detained by the customs, and the price was marked according to the market price. Ding Xu remembered that at that time The price is extremely low, a hundred or ten good Tianhuangzhang stones are only worth more than [-] yuan.

After a few years, this thing can rise to the same price as gold, which is a good deal.

He hadn't thought about being so anxious before, but the money on hand was getting less and less, and the two of them must have some money by their side.He still has to go on the road of taking the exam, maybe he does well in college, so he can stay in school to spend his days leisurely, or he can take the exam for a position in a small place and live an ordinary life.

Xiao Liangwen is different from him. Sooner or later, this person will be overwhelmed. Instead of controlling him all the time, it is better to give him some start-up funds and start some white business.

Ding Xu felt that he was very thoughtful, and after making this suggestion, he asked again: "Isn't it that you used the money to rent the shop before, and it's been half a year now, so it should be possible to resell it and rent it out for a year, son?" Sister Jun doesn't need that much, you can discuss with her, share half of it, and then ask for an advance payment of 1 yuan, let's go to S City and buy the batch of Tian Huangshi."

Xiao Liangwen had a strange expression on his face, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Let's go to the station tomorrow, let's go buy tickets, and go to City S before school starts." Ding Xu made the plan, and began to set the time again, "I just heard an approximate time, so I'll keep an eye on it a few days in advance. Nothing is lost."

Xiao Liangwen said "hmm", fanned Ding Xu absent-mindedly a few times, then made an excuse that he was going to ask Liu Zijun, turned around and went out to make a phone call.

Ding Xu didn't care, didn't think about it at all, cleaned up the melon rinds on the small stone table, and went into the room. It was a bit stuffy outside, and the last bit of wind died down, so he didn't stay outside to enjoy the cool.

There is only a small fan in the bedroom, and there is a large wooden bed covered with old-fashioned bamboo mats. When the fan blows, the mosquito net floats slightly.

Ding Xu fell asleep neatly on his side, and after a while, Xiao Liangwen came in from the outside. Seeing that the room was asleep with the lights turned off, he quietly climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Ding Xu.

They have been sleeping together for the past few days, Ding Xu slept well here, the dark circles under his eyes have faded away, but his body is still thin, and his spirit looks much stronger than when he just came out of X province.Xiao Liangwen carefully hugged him from behind, with his arms across his waist, sleeping him in his arms.

This is the bottom line that he has tested a little bit in the past few days. Ding Xu is not disgusted, or what Ding Xu allows him to do is probably such a limit of intimacy.

Coupled with the occasional kisses he can get, Xiao Liangwen is still very content.He stuck himself on Ding Xu's back, closed his eyes and breathed slowly and steadily.

Probably going to leave City D tomorrow, but Ding Xu couldn't sleep, his eyes were half down, thinking about his thoughts.

He didn't meet the person he came here to look for, so the fate has not yet come.The information that Xiao Liangwen found back then was more than ten years later, and now he came early, maybe the couple hasn't come yet... I just don't know what kind of people they are, and is there another one beside them? Companionship of well-behaved or wayward children, if any, do they look at that child and think of themselves.

He just wanted to take a sneak peek like this.

But such a wish is obviously impossible to achieve.

I'm going back tomorrow. Ding Xu didn't know what kind of mood he should use to face those relatives in the north. He felt a little irritable for a while, and turned over twice, but was hugged by Xiao Liangwen from behind, and he turned over. One body, was crushed below.

Xiao Liangwen rubbed his head against him twice, and said, "What's wrong, can't sleep?"

Ding Xu lay there without moving or making a sound, he was so upset that he didn't want to talk, he pinched his fingers and played.As soon as he pinched it twice, he felt Xiao Liangwen, who was lying on his body, breathing heavily.

Xiao Liangwen closed his eyes and said, "Ding Xu, don't do this, you know I can't control it."

Ding Xu raised his eyes to look at him, and slowly stretched out his hand, but in an instant, Xiao Liangwen groaned and called out his name in a hoarse voice.

Ding Xu ignored him, but continued to move his hands. Hearing the sound of gurgling water, his ears turned red, he simply closed his eyes and only moved with his hands.He has been with Xiao Liangwen for more than ten years, and he knows his preferences clearly. If he wants to please him, just using his fingers is enough to make him excited.

Xiao Liangwen tensed his body, not daring to move, Ding Xu just stretched out his arms to hug him, and he could tremble all over, and making such a bold move made him want to shout out excitedly.

But he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of scaring Ding Xu and making him withdraw that light and heavy hand.

Xiao Liangwen was panting too heavily, and pressed against Ding Xu's ear, which made Ding Xu a little annoyed: "Don't look at me!"

……

Sure enough, it began to rain in the middle of the night.

The window outside was slapped by the rain, Ding Xu woke up with a start, and wanted to get up, but Xiao Liangwen pushed it back again, kissed him, and said hoarsely: "Don't worry about that, Ding Xu, help me again once……"

Ding Xu pushed and shoved him, but then he was held by the unfed wolfdog and pressed the hand again.

Ding Xu wanted to withdraw his hand, but seeing the sweat dripping from his forehead, his heart softened after thinking about it, "It's the last time."

Xiao Liangwen's Adam's apple rolled a few times, he groaned a few times, and leaned over again.
