Lemon Lightning

After the last professional course, Xiaopang invited four more people to have dinner together. This should be the last dinner together this semester. During this time, everyone has been booking tickets one after another to go home for the New Year.

The appointment time was 07:30 in the evening, and the location was the Fatty’s Dry Pot Restaurant last time. An Ning was 10 minutes late, and Yuan Xiaoye and the others were about to take their final exams.

When we arrived, the dry pot shop was already full of people, and the smell and heat seemed to flow from the shop to the street. An Ning got into the shop and saw Qin Weihang at a glance.

Qin Weihang sat with his back facing the gate, but the back view was too catchy, and he was still wearing the black turtleneck sweater and light gray down vest when he caught the cat last week.An Ning saw Qin Weihang's back first, and then saw Liang Shenghan waving to greet him. Qin Weihang also looked back at him at this moment, through the dense fog, it was a memorable, noisy look back.

He walked over and found that the table was empty, and three people were waiting for him. He put down his backpack and sat down: "I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam!"

"It's okay," Liang Shenghan said with a smile, "We just arrived, and Qin Weihang arrived 2 minutes earlier than you."

Qin Weihang glanced down at the phone and said, "Oh, really?"

Xiaopang laughed at Liang Shenghan: "How dare you complain that Big Brother is late!"

Liang Shenghan called the waiter, ordered a pot of shrimp, and asked, "Want some beer? Qin Weihang, did you drive here?"

"I'm not driving," Qin Weihang said, "You can order."

After Liang Shenghan finished ordering and handed the order to the waiter, he suddenly slapped his forehead and asked An Ning, "What do you want to drink? Forget that you can't drink."

An Ning took out the water bottle from his bag. He has developed a habit after rock climbing. Now he always carries the water bottle with him. When he went to Lantian County, Sister Qian Fei filled his cup with tea: "No need, I have tea here. Anyone who drinks too much can still hangover."

Xiaopang laughed loudly, pointed to himself and the two people beside him: "Brother An Ning, the three of us really don't know how to get drunk, and you were the only one who got drunk last time!"

Talking about An Ning, I feel really embarrassed: "Last time I really troubled you..."

"Don't bother us," Liang Shenghan said, "Little Pang and I left after eating, so you just troubled Big Brother."

An Ning said to Qin Weihang again: "Yes, thank you for that time!"

Qin Weihang lowered his head and peeled a peanut, clapped his hands, and said, "You're welcome."

Liang Shenghan said: "That should be polite," he said to An Ning, "You were so drunk that you couldn't even stand up, Xiaopang and I thought you were troublesome and slipped away early, big brother is just so loyal!"

An Ning didn't really remember what happened after he was drunk last time. When Liang Shenghan said this, he realized that he might be more drunk than he imagined that day, and Qin Weihang was troubled more than a little.

Qin Weihang said: "It's not that serious, he can still stand up." He picked up his phone and swipe it twice, "I took a picture of him walking at that time."

An Ning was dumbfounded for a moment, Xiaopang excitedly leaned over to Qin Weihang to watch, Liang Shenghan also stretched his neck forward, looking happy to watch the excitement.

Qin Weihang put away the phone with a smile, looked at An Ning's pale face, and said, "I lied to you."

Liang Shenghan and Xiaopang sat back disappointed, An Ning couldn't laugh or cry.I don't know when Liang Shenghan and Xiaopang started to say "big brother" to Qin Weihang, and they were very convinced of Qin Weihang's leadership position. It may be because Qin Weihang's birthday is in July and he is older than them, but An Ning always feels that Qin Weihang is actually very small, and his body shape can be matched with the word "big", but there is still a distance from the word "brother".

The dry pot came up, and the clerk brought two more bottles of beer, and was busy greeting other tables. Xiao Pang took one of the bottles, approached the edge of the table, and asked Qin Weihang: "Brother, can you teach me how you open it?"

Liang Shenghan said: "Your teeth are so good, just use your teeth to bite."

Qin Weihang put down the phone, reached out to take it, and knocked on the edge of the table with one hand. This time the movement was bigger than last time. The whole table was shaken by him, and the bottle cap flew off with a "bang". It bounced up and fell far away.

Liang Shenghan laughed loudly: "It's over, big brother failed to play handsome!"

Qin Weihang looked at An Ning who was startled, and couldn't help laughing with his lips pursed, and gave the wine bottle to Xiaopang.

Xiaopang took it over, glanced at Qin Weihang, and said, "Oh brother, you can laugh as much as you want, you don't have to bear it, people sometimes stumble. Although you use too much force, you are still very handsome..."

Qin Weihang put away his smile, turned his head and asked the people around him: "Are you all right?"

An Ning casually rubbed her cheeks and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Qin Weihang didn't look away, and said, "There's a red mark. I'm sorry, I played too hard."

I don't know if it was smoked by the heat from the dry pot, or because of Qin Weihang's eyes. An Ning only felt that the pores all over his body were stretched at this moment, and he felt itchy like being electrified.Obviously the bottle cap flicked his face, making it look like Qin Weihang flicked his face with his fingers.

Liang Shenghan also leaned over to look at his face: "Is there any?"

Qin Weihang sat back and said, "It's gone."

The four of them ate and chatted. Everyone was going back during the winter vacation. Liang Shenghan had already bought a plane ticket, Xiaopang wanted to go back to S City, and asked Qin Weihang, "Brother, when are you leaving?"

Liang Shenghan ate the shrimp and said, "Yes, you can go together."

In fact, An Ning has never heard Qin Weihang say that he is from City S, but it seems that everyone in the school knows it, but it doesn't seem strange after thinking about it, it's the same as when Huang Qinzhen made a boyfriend, and which department the boyfriend is from. It's no secret, Qin Weihang is a school grass, where he is from, and which middle school he graduated from, it must have been no secret for a long time.

Qin Weihang said, "I won't go back."

Xiaopang let out an "ah", quite surprised: "You won't go back, won't you go back during the Chinese New Year?"

Qin Weihang said: "Yes." He said it very plainly, and then bowed his head and ate his own.

It seems unbelievable to many people not to go home for the New Year during the winter vacation, but maybe the object is Qin Weihang, and everyone can easily accept it.

Liang Shenghan asked An Ning when he was going to leave. An Ning looked at Qin Weihang with his head down eating the vegetables and walked away for a while. He was stunned for a while before he heard, and said, "I'll go back by train, the train ticket for the day after tomorrow."

Xiaopang said that it was lonely to go back alone. Liang Shenghan said that it took you only a few hours to go back by plane. An Ning took the train alone for a day and a night and did not feel lonely. Xiaopang said that I thought Brother Qin would be with me. .Liang Shenghan also said that you have such a strong accent, Qin Weihang is also a native of S city and has almost no accent, Xiaopang said that my hometown is not in S city...

Listening to the chatter between the two, An Ning felt inexplicably blocked. When she raised her head, she saw Qin Weihang looking at her.

Qin Weihang stared at him calmly, but when the white hot air drifted past, it seemed very deep. The mist was hot, but his eyes were cold.An Ning finally understands what it feels like to be stuck in her chest. It is similar to a sense of guilt. She is going home for the New Year, but she left Qin Weihang here alone. They once exchanged secrets. The words they said that night, Seems like a false promise.

Although there were no happy memories in the past New Years, and he didn't look forward to going home that much, but that was his mother. Maybe she had a deeper affection for his brother, but it didn't mean he didn't love him. If he said no Going back, she would be somewhat sad, and he went back only for her.

But Qin Weihang won't go back, and it's impossible for him to go to Zhong Jing or Yu Ran's place. Everyone wants to go home, so who will accompany him?

***

When returning to school, the four of them walked back, because it was only one stop away.There is already some Chinese New Year atmosphere on the street, Liang Shenghan and Xiaopang are still walking and chatting all the way, Qin Weihang walks behind alone, An Ning looks back from time to time to see Qin Weihang's hands in the pocket of the down vest, looking around coldly, I always feel that in the lively festive atmosphere, no matter how cool and handsome his appearance is, he can't conceal the loneliness that emanates from him.

It was Qin Weihang who paid the bill, and they were about to transfer the money to him, but Qin Weihang had already picked up his phone and stood up, saying, "No need, I'll pay the bill today."

Liang Shenghan said: "This meal is quite a lot, it's not very good."

Qin Weihang had already stood up, put his hands on the back of the chair, and said, "Elder brother is already in charge, so he can't be in vain."

At that time, Qin Weihang was still smiling comfortably, but An Ning felt that he was just pretending to be indifferent.

After returning to the dormitory, An Ning was still a little concerned. Qin Weihang came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and asked, "How did you spend the Chinese New Year?"

Qin Weihang lowered his head and wiped the back of his neck with a towel, without looking at him, and said in a very perfunctory tone: "Just live as you please."

The guilt in An Ning's heart deepened. Seeing Qin Weihang sitting down in front of the desk, he pulled the chair a little too hard, and the chair knocked loudly on the floor.

An Ning didn't ask any more questions. Qin Weihang's back was rarely cold. In the past, Qin Weihang came out of the shower with a dry neckline, but today the neckline was covered with water. A boy who has always been very Buddhist, only today showed a trace of this. The inner irritability unique to young boys.

Originally, An Ning planned to buy some specialties from City A tomorrow to take home, but now he hesitated over and over again whether to call Qin Weihang together, and finally asked Qin Weihang if he was free on the grounds that he was not familiar with City A. Go shopping with him.

In fact, I was ready to be rejected by Qin Weihang. After all, I have to leave, but I feel sorry for you, so the design of asking you to buy special products together may really make Qin Weihang really bored.

Qin Weihang sat in front of the Macbook, looked up at the fingerboard on the balcony after listening, and said, "Use your left and right fingers to pull that for 10 minutes, and I will accompany you."

An Ning immediately became motivated: "Okay, then help me time the time!"

After speaking, he went to hang the fingerboard, not paying attention to Qin Weihang's expression at all.Qin Weihang stared at the Macbook, but actually couldn't read the pictures and words on it.The moment he knew that An Ning was going to leave, he felt a little inexplicable emotion in his heart. He couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was. What did he care about when others went home for the New Year? Maybe it was just him who was alone, but it wasn't like this in previous years. Why, why are you so irritable this year.When An Ning said that he bought a train ticket for the day after tomorrow and went home, he really had the urge to ask him: Your mother doesn't even remember your birthday, so why did you go back?Was everything you told me that night a lie?

Staring at the Macbook for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard the sound of An Ning's exhalation, and suddenly looked at the time in the upper right corner, only to realize that he had been gone for almost 7 minutes, and immediately turned back and said, "It's ok! "

An Ning got off the fingerboard, her whole arm was stiff, but she was still very excited: "Did I really stretch to 10 minutes?!" Why didn't it feel so fast...

Qin Weihang got up and asked him, "Is your hand okay?"

An Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a little sour."

Qin Weihang said in his heart: tomorrow you will be so sore that you won't be able to lift your arms.

An Ning rubbed her arms, and did not forget to ask, "What special snacks do you have here?"

Qin Weihang said: "I'll take you to see it and you'll know."

Alright, An Ning was secretly happy, he agreed!At least spend another day with him tomorrow.In fact, I still wanted to say that I will go back for a week, and I will come back to work, but I feel that saying this is too deliberate, and I hold it back.

At night, Qin Weihang leaned on the bed and sent Yu Ran a WeChat message.How could he know where to buy special snacks? He just came here three months earlier than An Ning.

Yu Ran asked him: Are you going back to celebrate the New Year this year?Yes, I also know how to buy special products, I have grown up!

Qin Weihang replied: Take someone else to buy it.

Yu Ran: Tranquility?

Qin Weihang looked at these two words and smiled to himself, thinking who else could be there besides him, and glanced at the opposite bed, Xueba was still buried in his book, why did he still read it after he finished the exam? Forever... He inexplicably thought of the words "live and learn", and made himself feel depressed.

Shaking his head in his heart, he asked Yu Ran on WeChat: Where should I take him?

Yu Ran: There are many places, just wait for me to send you a travel guide.

Qin Weihang frowned, this person was really unreliable, and typed another line: I went to buy food, not to play.

After all, I only have one day, can you be more reliable?
