I'm in Delingha tonight

Weightlessness.

After being hypoxic, he was on the verge of suffocation and broke through the thick clouds.

Clouds cast strong shadows on the alpine grasslands, with sharp edges.Light and fluttering, the mountain seems to be flying fast, the buzzing in the ears is intertwined with light rock——

Chi Nian suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed the phone, and turned off the alarm clock.

His back was a little hot and sweaty, and the home clothes stuck to his body, making it uncomfortable to cling to them.There was a foot-long seam between the two curtains, the sunlight streamed in through the window, and the golden band cut through the dark wooden floor.

The electric fan at the end of the bed had a little "buzzing" when it rotated, as if it was the source of the disturbing sound in his dream, and the song... Chi Nian stared at the phone screen dully, and began to regret why he couldn't figure it out. Siri command, get up early every day when the alarm clock ends, and the playlist will start to play automatically.

Today's first song was very loud, Chi Nian sat with his mind completely empty.

When the alarm clock started to play for the second time, he finally got out of bed, walked around the sofa full of clothes, and turned to the bathroom to wash.

While brushing his teeth, he checked his unread messages all night. Zhuo Pei'an lost his love three days ago. Recently, when he drank too much, he would cry and howl. He used him as a tree hole every day, accusing the American woman of being a shameless liar, clamoring to return to China for Christmas to recover Emotions, saying that the two of them were sick and sympathetic, forced Chi Nian to accompany her.

Chi Nian sent her a sentence, "Let's discuss it later."Other than that, there were just some insignificant people and things. He put the phone upside down on the washstand.

I simply took a shower to wash off my sticky sweat, changed into a linen shirt and cotton trousers, put on my bag, and went out with breakfast.

Breakfast was bread and milk bought the day before. Chi Nian walked all the way to the light rail station. After drinking the milk, the bread was stuffed back into the bag and ready to eat in the studio.

On Line [-], the morning rush hour is crowded, and the carriages are filled with loud voices.

Chi Nian stood near the door, put on earphones to block out the unintelligible dialect, and continued to empty his mind.

Outside the narrow car window, the mountain city full of high-rise buildings has just woken up, a ray of morning sun is shining from the east, the sky is a bit blurred, and the clouds are connected together, as if the fog has not dissipated.

The road is ups and downs, the overpass is surrounded by ups and downs, and the mountains and rivers are interdependent.

After the fall, there is still summer in September, and the air-conditioning in the light rail car is a bit of a headache.The morning of the city is hazy and false, and everything is the most favored atmosphere of literary and artistic movies.

Get off the light rail from Yangjiaping and transfer to the bus. Route 223 came very quickly. I was lucky today. There were not many people on the bus, and I even picked up a seat.

Chi Nian closed his eyes to sleep, and continued to listen to the daily recommended playlist.

The fourth week of coming to Chongqing is about to pass. Although Chi Nian is not used to the extremely hot and humid climate, he is used to Xi Shan's chat box where there are only "good morning" and "good night" every day.

When Chi Nian first landed in Chongqing, he felt that there was hope for him and Xi Shan.He reported to Xi Shan that he was safe, and Xi Shan replied with a cute cat head.

Later, when he had nothing to do, he asked Xi Shan coquettishly, "How is the weather today~"

Xi Shan took a picture of him under a clear sky, without saying where he was or what he had experienced.His attitude was very good, but Chi Nian didn't dare to disturb him anymore.

He was afraid that Xi Shan would be perfunctory, and worried that if he continued talking, the other party would think that he had too many things to do, which would erase the good impression they had when they got along together.

...Maybe there is no particularly good impression.

Although Xi Shan would reply every time he had nothing to say, Chi Nian always felt that his reply was just out of politeness, not to mention that Xi Shan didn't talk much about himself at all.He canceled the pinning of Xi Shan's chat box, tried to calm down for a while, and re-examined whether his heartbeat had deviated again.

Just arrived in Chongqing some time ago, there are many and complicated things, renting a house, adapting to work, getting familiar with the twists and turns of the traffic, Chi Nian is busy and busy without touching the ground, and seems to have gradually succeeded in weaning Xi Shan.

At least now I don't miss him every morning, every night, every day when I eat and sleep.

It’s not just that when you like someone, you can’t get a response, you don’t have a fate, and you won’t let yourself get entangled for too long if you get together and break up.Maybe he will remember Xi Shan, and will like Xi Shan in obscurity for a long time, but the maintenance of a relationship cannot rely on unilateral passion and impulsiveness alone.

The days they spend together day and night are like a dream, but now they are back to reality, everything is on the right track.

Romance is certainly beautiful.

It's just, Xi Shan, let me meet you again soon, I don't want to forget.

The No. 223 bus stopped at Huangjueping, and Chi Nian got off the bus and stretched himself.

He took out the bread and continued to eat it slowly, walking along the shade of the trees along the street.

Tao Zi's studio is on Huangjueping Main Street, next to the Academy of Fine Arts, and there are many small shops selling painting materials and stationery beside it.The ramp is slow and long, and every corner going down seems to hide the secrets deep in the city, filled with a transparent coolness, the famous traffic teahouse is not far away, and Chi Nian has never been to it.

He didn't have time to go to many iconic scenic spots in Chongqing, and he didn't have time.

The work in the studio is more cumbersome than Chi Nian imagined. His position is a teaching assistant, and he has to clock in and out every day.

Entering September, 1/3 of the training camp has passed, and the atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense.Chi Nian took over halfway. At present, besides him, there are two other girls. They will be responsible for accompanying the students and helping to change the painting after the bishop finishes his lecture.

Tired is not too tired, just can't walk away.

Still have to get up early.

Chi Nian is not used to it until now, hearing the alarm clock every day makes him sick to death. He used to leave early and return late when he was a student, but now that he is going to work, he still has this routine.

Go upstairs, turn a corner, and stop after seeing the signboard of "Tao Yi Studio" on the second floor.

The anti-theft door has been opened, Chi Nian pushed open the second wooden door, and the wind chime made a series of crisp melodies.

"I'm here!" Chi Nian greeted the girl who was mopping the floor.

The girl raised her head and smiled like a flower: "Oh, Teacher Chi, why is it so early today?"

"It's getting late, Teacher Xia." Chi Nian put down his bag, took out a rag, and cleaned the large classroom with her. He didn't see the other person, and asked casually, "Didn't Ah Yu come?"

"She has a bit of a cold and is sleeping late."

"Then I have to help her with work today." After speaking, Chi Nian and the other party laughed together.

The other two teaching assistants in the studio——Xia Yaning and Lian Shiyu—are both recent graduates from Chuanmei next door. They share the same high school, share the same bed in the university, and study sculpture.

The two founders of Tao Yi Studio are Tao Zi and her friend Tu Xiangyi, plus the two of them, Chi Nian is the only male creature.Xia Yaning ridiculed him as the only seedling in the studio, so he should be protected.But it is true that there are generally fewer male teachers than female teachers in this field, so it is more popular.

It is currently the surprise stage of the art exam. Tao Zi and Tu Xiangyi lead a small class with a total of about forty students.It has only been a few weeks since Chi Nian came, and the students in the studio have started to get along with him, calling him "Nian Nian" and "Brother Xiaochi", but they don't call him "teacher".

I don't know if it's good or bad.

After finishing packing, Xia Yaning walked up to him and asked, "By the way, Chi Nian, what kind of milk tea do you like?"

"what?"

"Lin Chan said yesterday that he would invite everyone to drink milk tea. Didn't he just ask in the group again?"

Chi Nian blocked the group where the students were, and heard Xia Yaning tell him to take it out quickly.Sure enough, at eight o'clock in the morning, Aite, a little boy with a cute cat head, asked the three of them, what do you want, teacher.

The few female students below who usually like to join in the fun made a fuss about which teacher Lin Chan wanted to chase after.

The cat's profile picture sent the word "scroll".

Chi Nian frowned, really didn't like this kind of naked overtures—whether Lin Chan was with Xia Yaning or Lian Shiyu, at the critical stage of his third year of high school, doing such things always reminded him of his ignorance when he was 17 years old.

"Nian Nian?" Xia Yaning grinned, "If you don't drink, it's not worth it. At worst, we'll give him money."

"...I don't like milk tea." Chi Nian finally said.

Xia Yaning said that's fine.

Things were almost packed, and the students arrived one after another.

Lin Chan brought two big bags of milk tea and sat in the front row to share. At the end of the share, he glanced at Chi Nian and pushed a cup in front of the other party inadvertently.

"Teacher Chi, here it is."

Chi Nian didn't look up: "Thank you, drink it yourself."

Lin Chan said "Oh": "But I bought everything, and I agreed to invite everyone, Mr. Chi doesn't give face."

He called Teacher Chi with a very special accent, sloppy and a bit bad, but his demeanor was upright, making it impossible for people to find fault directly.Lin Chan looks good. He is only 17 years old and already 1.8 meters tall. He is not bad at drawing. Apart from his slightly arrogant personality, he is very popular with female students in the studio. There are two people who obviously like him.

Chi Nian was put on the moral high ground of "not giving face". He was not a human being inside and outside, so he had to take it and drink it.

Lin Chan smiled, and chatted with him with her face on her face: "Mr. Chi, do you want to play together after school this Sunday afternoon? I invite you to watch a movie, so you can invite me to dinner."

Chi Nian finally took a look at him: "The 20 sketches arranged yesterday are finished?"

Lin Chan curled her lips and said, "Teacher Chi is so indifferent to me today", but obediently unfolded the paper, took out a knife and sharpened pencils from the pencil case, and prepared to start a day of training.

It was Tao Zi's class this morning. She was late for more than half an hour for no reason. It wasn't until Xia Yaning called her that she told everyone to draw sketches first, and the class would start tomorrow.

Tao Zi came to the studio at noon, with sloppy makeup and a sad face, as if she was mourning a concubine.

The wind chimes echoed, she didn't answer the greetings from the students, and called Chi Nian who was still having lunch to the balcony.

The two stood there silently for a while, and Tao Zi let out a long sigh to break the silence: "Why am I so miserable! Maybe I'm at home, and even my breathing is wrong—"

"What?" Chi Nian asked cautiously, "Are you okay, uncle and aunt?"

"They're fine, and if I don't move out of the house, something will happen soon!" Tao Zi complained, her eyes swept Chi Nian's body up and down, as if she had a flash of inspiration, her sad and beautiful face became bright again, "I suddenly felt...by the way, baby, do you have any plans for this afternoon?"

Chi Nian pointed to the inside of the studio.

Tao Zi: "Tsk, there are more important tasks for you now, don't worry about these little brats."

"what……"

Tao Zi said seriously: "Come with me to meet my blind date."

Chi Nian: "Huh?"

Tao Zi: "You are in charge of being beautiful like a flower, and I am in charge of upside down weeping willows."

Chi Nian: "..."

Understood, I want to use him as a tool man again.
