I'm in Delingha tonight

The mist lingers between the mountains and rivers, and the cold and hard lines of the steel forest become soft.The winter in the southern valley is quietly approaching in this hazy fog.

The sun does not directly shine on the city and the streets, but after being folded several times by the thick clouds, it sprinkles thinly, and the transparent warmth slightly bakes the evergreen trees in November.The water of the Yangtze River is slightly lower than that in midsummer, exposing the winding riverbank line, and there are people exercising or running or cycling on the waterfront trails on both sides since the morning.

On weekdays, people transferring trains at Niujiaotuo Station pass through the glass corridor in a hurry, with tired faces on their faces.Occasionally, someone takes a second look at the broad river, the cargo ship goes down the river, and farther away, the Yangtze River cableway slides to the south bank.

Chi Nian stood outside the cableway station on Xinhua Road, holding two buns in one hand, and yawned.

A gust of cool wind crept in along his neckline, Chi Nian shivered from the cold, and after a moment of waking up he began to feel drowsy again.He took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, turned around to look at Xi Shan behind him, his mouth was stuffed, and he moaned indistinctly.

"Drink." Xi Shan lifted the soy milk to Chi Nian's mouth.

Chi Nian took two sips of the straw, and Xi Shan took it away again.

It's no wonder that Chi Nian was spoiled and had to be served by others even if he drank soymilk, it was really a special day.He held a meat bag in his left hand, and a huge painting material bag shoulder bag in his right hand. He was carrying nothing, but he was unlucky, and the bag broke when he went out, so he could only carry it with his hands.

In a hurry to eat, Xi Shan acted as his humanoid soybean milk holder.

The freshly ground soy milk tasted a bit rusty, Xi Shan thought it was too sweet, so he only took a sip of his cup.Give Chi Nian the desserts he can't eat, and give him the leftovers that Chi Nian can't finish. After living together for 30 days, the two seem to have reached a consensus on this point.

There are still many places, Chi Nian thinks that they get along happily during these days.

When Zhou Hengwen came back to look for him, he felt that if Chi Nian calmed down and coaxed him, he would be able to make the large sum of money forget the past.Unexpectedly, the old and new grudges were being settled together, and Zhou Hengwen went to the police station. Zhou Hengwen was probably really afraid that his personal future would be affected by the credit investigation, so he called Chi Nian within two weeks.

The total sum of Lin Lin is almost 40, which is more than what was taken from Chi Nian card at one time before.

Xi Shan's threat of "returning to Beijing in three rounds" was too strong. After sending the money, Chi Nian said, "That's the end of it." The next day, the phone number that harassed him became empty.

After that, Chi Nian never saw Zhou Hengwen again. He was like a dark cloud hanging over his head, and when the sun shone on him, he disappeared without a trace.

After receiving the money, Chi Nian finally ended the embarrassing life of the moonlight clan. For ordinary people, a large amount of savings returned to the bank account.

He transferred half of it to Zhuo Pei'an. The stock market has been doing well recently, so he bought a few stocks with her.In addition, Chi Nian bought a computer and planned to gradually design his own work through his previous contacts. His level is not wasteful, and Tao Zi is also willing to introduce some clients to him.

Most of it is put in the bank to buy wealth management and earn interest, and the rest is used as living expenses.Chi Nian once mentioned that he would pay Xi Shan the rent, but the other party dismissed it without even thinking about it.

So I bought a sweeping robot to reduce the frequency of housework - this Xi Shan has no objection, only Sprite has a big opinion on the noisy machine.

When Xi Shan raised the topic of "boyfriend" that day, Chi Nian was afraid that the answer would not be as good as he thought, so he would rather pretend to be deaf and dumb.

He vaguely felt that Xi Shan had a crush on him.

For someone else, you can kiss and hug the next second after confirming your eyes, as if the change of relationship does not need to be carefully thought out.But when Chi Nian faced Xi Shan, he always felt that something was missing.

Is the cause and effect of the car accident related to Xi Shan?Xi Shan never allowed himself to ask, is there any difficulty related to his parents?

Just as Chi Nian hoped that all the dust would fall to the ground before talking about their relationship. If they were together, Xi Shan would still be bound by the unspeakable past and would not fully come out.

Moreover, Xi Shan's criteria for choosing a spouse sound very ordinary. In fact, judging from his experience of "boyfriends who were in love with me in the past thought I was boring so it didn't last long", I am afraid that this person really doesn't know how to maintain an intimate relationship.They are good friends, why Chi Nian can't figure out why he wants to challenge the hard mode.

Wouldn't it be better to wait for Xi Shan to speak up?

... After all, Chi Nian couldn't be in a hurry, he even gave himself a deadline to kill himself: at the end of the year at the latest, if there is no movement from Xi Shan, he will rush out.

"Xi Shan won't be able to fall in love by then, I'll teach him how to do it!" Chi Nian thought so.

The Yangtze River cableway is the first of the five must-see attractions for foreign tourists. For Xishan, who is used to life in Chongqing, it is just a means of transportation like light rail, buses, and elevators.

The one-way ticket is 20 yuan, and the locals only spend [-] cents to ride with the card.

But Chi Nian is still an outsider. After Xi Shan said "you can take the cableway" the night before, he fell into a honeydew excitement.Maybe because I got excited too early, I was almost falling asleep when I actually stood in front of the ticket gate.

They swiped their cards to enter, and they were crowded among a group of commuters on both sides of the Yangtze River.

The cableway needs to wait, and Xi Shan is not in a hurry, but Chi Nian, Tao Zi and the others agreed to meet at the Shangxin Street bus stop at 09:30 in the morning, and he had to remind the tired-looking person: "Is it in time?"

"Whatever..." Chi Nian kept yawning, and almost fell on Xi Shan for a nap, "I've come here, I have to wait if I have time... There will be traffic jams..."

After speaking, there was almost no sound.

Xi Shan rubbed his hair, and cursed lightly: "You're so lazy."

Chi Nian pretended not to hear, and lifted the bag of painting materials up with one hand.When he mentioned that half of his beard was cut off, he turned his head. Xi Shan took it away with a face full of indifference, then raised his hand, and hung his sports pocket around Chi Nian's neck.

There were a lot of things in that bag, Chi Nian thought it was too heavy before, and half-truthfully wanted Xi Shan to take it for him, but was ruthlessly rejected, seeing Xi Shan take it away without a word, Chi Nian smiled flatteringly : "Thank you Brother Xi!"

Brother Xi slapped his eyebrows.

After drinking the soy milk and throwing it into the trash can, he took out his phone to read the news in the group.

Unexpectedly, Tao Zi was stuck in the middle of the road, Lian Shiyu and Xia Yaning were still changing trains on the light rail, as for the twenty or so students...

"Wow, Teacher Tao, I went to bed late! Wait for me!"

"Me too! But I'm on the light rail!"

"Sleep late +1"

"+2"

"+3"

……

After counting down the numbers, except for Lin Chan and a female student who worked very hard in normal times, all of them were not present without exception.Chi Nian had already thought of this kind of result when he set off, and sent a comforting sentence in the group, saying that everyone should not panic, safety first, and be late if you are late, and the harvest is full of "Long live understanding".

Lin Chan with the cat head portrait asked abruptly, "Mr. Chi, is there any reward for those who arrive early?"

Chi Nian didn't reply, Xia Yaning briskly answered: "I reward you with a lollipop~"

Lin Chan: "Then Teacher Chi will buy it for me."

"Buy it yourself." Chi Nian typed, and just sent it out, he was caught off guard when he heard Xi Shan asking:

"Who are you talking to?"

When Chi Nian left the group chat interface, he was a little flustered, as if he had discovered a secret, he raised his head and explained: "He and the students, two of them are almost here, and they are rushing—here, look."

Xi Shan didn't look, and pointed to the moving team: "Let's go, the cableway is here."

Even if the mobile phone interface is under the eyes of the other party, Xi Shan doesn't seem to care about the content.Chi Nian reconfirmed this point, and felt a little depressed for a while, when Xi Shan who was walking in front pulled his wrist, he hurriedly followed him.

At this time, it was not an embarrassing time, and the morning rush hour of commuting was over, but tourists did not flood the cableway in large numbers, so it was rare that there were not too many people.

Xi Shan asked Chi Nian to stand at the front, so he could see the river view unobstructed.With a long history, the car of the cableway seems to put people in the tone of the beginning of the century.The words written in red paint are mottled white, the windshield is scratched, and there is a crack on the upper floor, and the "Do Not Rely on" notice hanging next to it is brand new, like the window of a building behind it.

The fog was about to dissipate completely, and there was no sun in the sky, but when he lowered his head, the river water and the twinkling lights like those stars became the best proof of a sunny day.

The cableway started slowly, and the Yangtze River flowed eastward. Chi Nian heard the whistle of the boat as it passed under his feet.

The hundreds of meters of the river passed through the air much faster than expected. In 4 minutes, in the blink of an eye, Chi Nian was still a little unsatisfied when he walked out of the cableway car.

There is a bus next to the cableway station on Shangxin Street. When Chi Nian and Xi Shan approached, a girl over there waved at them vigorously.

"Teacher Chi!" Zhang Xiaotu—whose real name was gradually forgotten because of a pair of rabbit teeth—runs over, with her schoolbag swaying behind her, "I thought you guys wanted pigeons if no one came."

"I can't do pigeons, they will be here soon."

This weekend's activity was proposed by Tao Zi. Go to Nanshan to relax, and practice sketching at the viewing platform by the way.

The art exam is imminent. Starting from December, many students in the studio have to prepare for a series of exams arranged by the school at the same time. Anxiety spreads like contagion, and everyone is out of shape.Seeing this, Tao Zi found a time when most of the people were free to organize an event, and promised to treat the group of seventeen and eighteen-year-old boys and girls to a buffet.

The cafeteria has a high budget, and it is a place where Chi Nian rarely spends money.Encountering Tao Zi's generosity, Chi Nian hurriedly tried to benefit Xi Shan: "Can I bring my family?"

Tao Zi: "Please bring it."

So Xi Shan is here too.

But the fracture has not completely healed yet, so it is not suitable to stand for a long time.Xi Shan thought it didn't matter, Chi Nian couldn't let him really climb the mountain with the students.

Chi Nian pointed to the rest bench at the bus stop, and said to Xi Shan, "Sit down, we'll take a taxi there in a while."

"Stop climbing the mountain?" Xi Shan was surprised.

Chi Nian glared at him: "Climb a fart mountain, and after a while your toes will be stressed again, and it will never get better."

"It's been two months." Xi Shan raised his left foot and turned his ankle, "It's really no problem, you see."

Chi Nian frowned: "I don't want to watch it! Last time you hit...Zhou Hengwen, you said 'nothing' at that time, and the result? After going for a review, I found that the place that was almost good was cracked again. This time I want to climb the mountain—— "

Xi Shan held up the white flag: "You can do whatever you say, I'll listen to you."

Chi Nian said that it was almost the same, turned his head, and met Zhang Xiaotu Xizi holding his heart, his face was flushed, and his eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them undisguised.Chi Nian thought something bad was going on, coughed dryly twice, and flipped through the chat interface pretending to be busy, praying that Zhang Xiaotu would never speak.

But sometimes things just backfire.

"Mr. Xiaochi..." Zhang Xiaotu approached, blinking his eyes flatteringly, "Can I ask a question? This handsome guy is yours..."

"Roommate." Chi Nian said quickly, "I'll bring him here for lunch."

Zhang Xiaotu: "Oh——"

Seeing Zhang Xiaotu's expression, Chi Nian knew that she had already begun to write propositional compositions around the word "roommate" in her head——Chi Nian knew what a 17-year-old female high school student was thinking, And I know that the more you talk to her, the more energetic and thoughtful the female high school student will be.

So he couldn't and wouldn't argue with the students, let Zhang Xiaotu get excited secretly, and sat on the bench with Xi Shan, with a cautious half-arm length between them.

On the phone, a certain person's chat box was reset to the top by Chi Nian, and he simply sent a message when he was idle.

Chi: That's what a little girl is like, don't worry about her.

Xi Shan: [The little rabbit nods.gif]

Xi Shan: Does she usually guess about the relationship between men and women like this?

Pool: ...

Chi: Your imagination is too rich

Xi Shan: [baring teeth]

The little yellow face smiled too wildly, and Chi Nian couldn't be more angry. He was not satisfied with sending a beating emoji in the dialog box, so he moved over, stood behind Xi Shan, and vigorously pulled his neatly tied pigtail.

"Hey!" Xi Shan shouted, "I shouldn't be laughing, right?"

"Makes you laugh!"

"Wrong, wrong..."

There were not many people at the bus stop, they were fighting on one side, while Lin Chan stood under the outermost stop sign, never approaching, with a somewhat lonely expression.

He was wearing a huge noise-canceling earphone, and looked quietly at the broad river.

Whenever I saw Chi Nian, Lin Chan would always greet him, chat with him, and give him a sense of presence in front of Chi Nian.But that day, he didn't even say "Teacher Chi", and there was a whirlpool brewing under the calmness like the water of the Yangtze River.
