I'm in Delingha tonight

Humidity is the deepest impression on Chi Nian from the south.

Rain or shine, there is always a vapor in the air.At the beginning of September, every downpour is a farewell to the midsummer of this year, and the momentum is so great that the river surges accordingly.

In the city, you can't see the game between the river and the waves in the heavy rain. You only know that the summer rain is unreasonable and rapid.Water was dripping from the eaves, and the leaves were slapped into a mess. It was a bit noisy.The crowd in the entire food court has decreased, the food stalls have moved away, and customers gather at the entrance, waiting for the rain to stop in twos and threes.

There are also umbrellas, but the rain is flying with the wind, and the trouser legs are wet after two steps.

Such as Chi Nian and Xi Shan.

They walked side by side, holding an umbrella, their shoulders squeezed together, and their steps were slow, for fear of stepping on a loose floor tile by mistake and splashing mud all over their bodies.As a result, he talked less. Chi Nian concentrated on staring at his feet, his whole body tensed up.

"This way used to be Line [-], you might have to transfer." Xi Shan chatted with him suddenly, remembering which area he said he lived in before, "I don't know if it's going to rain...otherwise I'll drive you off .”

Chi Nian didn't care, "It's not easy to drive after drinking."

Xi Shan said he was right, and pursed his lips.

His hand holding the umbrella was between himself and Chi Nian. On the surface of the transparent umbrella, the water marks fragmented the city lights, shaking like fireflies, and the different colors changed angles with the walking posture, blurring into one piece.But the umbrella is still too small, he and Chi Nian are two grown men after all.

Half of the sleeves of Chi Nian's linen shirt were already wet from the rain, and there must have been water on his arms.When the wind blows, even the face and neck cannot be spared.

Xi Shan couldn't remember whether this was the first rainstorm in Chongqing this summer, but it might be the last.

He hadn't walked in the rain for a long time since that incident.

The rainy day was once a nightmare for him, coupled with the night, double blow and anxiety, if it weren't for Chi Nian, he might not be able to go out at all.

With Chi Nian by his side, the fear that had been with him for the past few years was greatly reduced.

The person beside him has a youthful face, round when he is angry, very childish and cute.Chi Nian was next to him, and his arm touched the elbow of the left arm holding the umbrella from time to time. Chi Nian paused in his shallow breath and cleared his throat trying to cover it up. Xi Shan only looked at him from the corner of his eye.

Even in such a rainy day, walking in the wind, Chi Nian seemed to be a source of warmth.

So today he wanted to get close to Chi Nian.

After they walked out of the food court, they were still 500 meters away from the light rail station, and they could already see the light rail sign on the elevated road, but because of the difficulty of walking, the long staircase was like a mirage, and they never felt close.

One of the lights was broken, and when stepping into the darkness from the edge of the halo, Xi Shan changed his hand to hold the umbrella.

The sound of falling rain was blown away by the wind.

Changing posture suddenly, the rain fell on his face in an instant, Chi Nian closed his eyes, and asked instinctively: "What..."

But the rain was so loud that Xi Shan might not have heard what he said.Out of the idea of ​​hiding from the rain, Chi Nian clung to Xi Shan for no other reason, and on his shoulders, a large swath of water drops fell from the treetops.

Immediately afterwards, the slightly cold temperature stuck to that position.

After being hugged for a while, she still hasn't recovered, the fingers on her shoulders stretched out, hugging Chi Nian even tighter.

Chi Nian didn't know where to look for a moment, he hesitated slightly, but was led forward because of Xi Shan's movements.Chi Nian's throat moved, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word for a while, so he continued to remain silent.His heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the sour and sweet feeling diluted the no-holds-barred hot pot restaurant.

The atmosphere of being friends just now, why has it changed all of a sudden?

When they were students, the boys hooked their shoulders together to show their friendship. Most of them were carefree, with their forearms sticking to their necks, calling their friends and friends to fly forward.In the future, no matter how good a friend is, there will be less physical contact.

The social distance of adults is mostly restrained, and there are not many shoulder pats, let alone this kind of posture and strength like hugging girls...

Chi Nian was so distracted that he didn't dare to ask.

But he didn't want to remind the other party to let go.

The 500 meters were quickly completed, and the first time Xi Shan stepped into the light rail station, he immediately let go of Chi Nian and stepped back to a polite distance.Chi Nian thought he was sent here, but Xi Shan said that he would also take the light rail and transfer to Line [-].

"Going home?" Chi Nian asked jokingly, "Where is your home?"

Xi Shan replied: "Now I live in Shiziping, and I may move to Xinhua Road in a while."

Confused about the place names in Chongqing, Chi Nian could only express that he knew it, and then silently wrote down the name in his heart, hoping to ask Tao Zi in the future—if he is not far away, he can often have dinner with Xi Shan in the future What, so as not to delay the other party to waste time going back and forth on the road.

"Is the house okay?" Xi Shan asked, he seemed to like to care about Chi Nian very much today.

Chi Nian shook the water on the umbrella, and went through the security check: "It's the kind of bachelor apartment, there is no living room, one bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom. The kitchen is very small but I rarely use it...that's it."

"Is that enough money?"

"Enough!" Chi Nian pretended to be angry, "Chongqing's rent is not expensive, I'm not really poor enough to sleep in the bridge hole. Besides, I really don't have a place to live, so I live in the small lounge upstairs in the studio."

Xi Shan didn't express his opinion, but said vaguely: "Then...it's okay."

On a rainy day, and at the end of the weekend, the light rail station seemed to be full of people.Chi Nian and Xi Shan huddled in the corner and had to stick very close.As soon as Chi Nian raised his head, the tip of his nose almost touched Xi Shan's lips, and his whole body became stiff.

Xi Shan played with his mobile phone indifferently, frowning, a tiny wrinkle could only be seen in this way.

Chi Nian lowered his eyelashes halfway, staring at a metal button on Xi Shan's clothes.Maybe they were too close, and the two of them were surrounded by the smell of hot pot, which was not pleasant, but it happened to be the proof that they were together just now.

It only took one stop, so the suffering didn't last too long, Chi Nian almost followed the flow of transfer people and got off the bus as if he was running away. He walked out and waved to Xi Shan through the gap.

With a "beep", the door of the light rail car slowly closed.

At the same time, a message from Xi Shan popped up on the phone: Be careful on the road, tell me when you arrive [smile]

Pool: ...

Chi: Don’t send [smile] this expression next time, okay bro?

After replying, the phone was running out of battery, so Chi Nian put it in his pocket.

The surging crowd forced him to move forward, and Chi Nian switched buses in the wind and rain, almost sitting in the wrong direction.The night was getting dark, and after he left the light rail station, he had to walk a little further to get back to his place of residence.Chi Nian broke into the rain, remembering that the umbrella Xi Shan bought did not end up in his hands, and suddenly felt a little regretful.

Xi Shan is thoughtful in everything, why did he lose the chain in the end?

Fortunately, it was raining gradually, so we didn't get wet.

The first thing I did when I opened the door was to charge it, and then Chi Nian went to take a shower.After his tired and wet body was dry again, he regained his uneasy mood all the way.

The phone screen prompts Xi Shan's reply half an hour ago: "Okay."

Followed by a very wronged little yellow face.

The default smiling face implies sarcasm. Isn’t this the common sense of surfing in the contemporary 90s? What’s the matter with Brother Xi, are you 27 or 47?

Chi Nian was immediately speechless, so he had to send Xi Shan a long string of ellipses.

Xi Shan: You are finally home

Damn...

He was actually a little attracted by Xi Shanmeng!Cool brother acting like a baby is the deadliest!

Picking up the remaining sliver of sanity, Chi Nian sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and typed calmly, while typing, whispered: "I just took a shower, I plan to go to bed early, and I have to move bricks tomorrow..."

Xi Shan: Okay, good night

Xi Shan: See you next Wednesday

Pool: [Cartoon Rabbit Sleeping.jpg]

The last emoji was sent out, and in an instant, Chi Nian's phone came out of his hand and hit the ground.

He didn't care about the minutiae, turned around and threw himself into the quilt, rolling around wantonly for a few minutes before he calmed down the excitement in his heart——Xi Shan can still use Maomaotou!cute!

From the dramatic encounter, to eating desserts and watching the sunset together, shabu-shabu, an unexpected heavy rain, and finally walking to the light rail station with arms around the shoulders...

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a date with a beginning and an end, but the beginning is a little messed up.

This is ambiguous!Yes yes yes yes yes!

Chi Nian seemed to see two cupids rising slowly from the side of the bed blowing small trumpets. Amidst the exciting music, flower petals fell and covered the entire space.There was an uncontrollable smile on his face, his ears were burning like hell, and when he touched it, even his neck was hot, like a red tomato.

Rather than saying that he hasn't been this happy for a long time, it is better to say that since the first time he was moved...

Never liked anyone like this again.

Even if it can't be counted as a date, it's just ordinary friends having dinner and chatting with each other. Chi Nian memorized every sentence of their conversation today, trying to find some traces of the other party's affection in Xi Shan's subtle expressions.Before falling in love, he was already a dazed girl.

If there is a cosmos in the room now, Chi Nian has no doubt that he will immediately tear the petals "he likes me" or "he doesn't like me".

So Chi Nian was immersed in a good mood all night, lying on the bed and watching the whole "Love at Dusk and Sunset" with a projector, the Bluetooth speaker was set to play regularly, and he fell asleep peacefully in the white noise.

On the other side of the city, Xi Shan stayed up all night.

He stood on the edge of his balcony, smoking cigarettes one by one.My mother signed up for the "Zhangjiajie and Phoenix Five-Day Tour" tour group with a new friend I just met. The mess in the living room was exactly the same as when he went out in the morning.

The cigarette ash almost burned my hands, and the screen of the mobile phone, the strange number flashing for the incoming call was the sixth time tonight.

Xi Shan once again resisted the urge to drop the phone from a tall building, and picked it up: "Hello?"

"Xi Shan," the male voice over there was polite, but his words were not polite at all, "it's the end of August, and now it's September—it's not a reminder, we still believe in you."

With a sneer in his heart, Xi Shan couldn't tell any emotion in his tone: "I know, sorry, I was a little busy the first two days, so I'll go to the bank and transfer it to you tomorrow."

"Mobile phone transfer is very convenient, are you free now?"

"I said, I will go to the bank." Xi Shan suppressed his anger, "I won't owe you any interest, and you will pay off the rest next month. Don't bother my mother."

The other party smiled: "Pay it off, it's pretty good. Where did Boss Xi go to get rich again?"

Xi Shan ignored the taunt and lit another cigarette: "Is there anything else?"

The other party heard that he was getting impatient, and laughed: "Then... I think you are easy to talk to, and there is no other meaning. To be honest, you are much more straightforward than your father."

"One size fits one size." Xi Shan said indifferently, "That's it."

He hung up the phone, and the WeChat chat box popped up, and it was fixed on the sleeping rabbit under the pink quilt.Xi Shan paused, looked at it for a while, his expression relaxed a little, and he extinguished his half-puffed cigarette.

It's been a bit rough lately, but it's not all bad.

Like meeting a little turtle.
