I'm in Delingha tonight

Xi Shan transferred directly from Xining to Delingha. After arriving at the station, he sent a photo to Chi Nian and disappeared that day.

Chi Nian guessed that Xi Shan was running around, and the hospital affairs were complicated, so he must be very busy.In the next few days, they seemed to be separated by jet lag, and they rarely had the opportunity to meet directly and say a few words.

In the morning, Chi Nian greeted him, and when he was free, he would send a few words about his daily life, or take a few pictures of Sprite and send them to Xi Shan. The reply must be late at night.

There were various replies, but it was a pity that Chi Nian was probably asleep at that time, otherwise he would be so sleepy that Xiaojipeimi was about to fall asleep, and he was not in the mood to have a long talk with him with heavy eyelids.

After two or three days of jet lag, Chi Nian almost understood Uncle Xi Shan's situation: the heart disease caused by high blood pressure was still unable to prescribe the right medicine after the diagnosis, because the heart hypertrophy and medical conditions were not so high. Dare to perform surgery directly.Uncle Xi Shan couldn't make it through several times, but was rescued again.

Xi Shan's heart was clenched, and he couldn't relax at all.

Two days later, good news came from Delingha Hospital that Xi Shan's uncle was in better condition.So he and his cousin quickly discussed to take advantage of the current situation to transfer to another hospital in time and go to Xining to receive better treatment.

After his health stabilized, Xi Shan was finally free and had a video call with Chi Nian later.

Turning on the camera, he saw the background over there and asked in surprise, "Have you been sleeping in my bed for the past few days?"

After being discovered, Chi Nian was not embarrassed. He hugged Xi Shan's pillow into his arms and stared at the camera: "Why! Your side is warmer and bigger."

"Okay." Xi Shan smiled, and the tiredness on his face subsided a little, "Don't let Coke go to bed, it loses hair."

Chi Nian: "I put clothes on it, and bought a sticky brush and a new sofa cover..."

It seemed that Xi Shan was in a good mood. He seized the time and reported in detail the trivial things that he hadn't told Xi Shan in the dialog box these days:

Zhuo Pei'an was very relieved when he learned that they were together, and he returned to the United States happily; there was a joint exam in January, and the boys in the studio cried for their father and mother, and some of them were stressed, and they called in the middle of the night to chat with them , even the most tempered poems are almost neurasthenic; Zhu Yiming will take care of him in the first two days, but then he is too busy; and because of the cold weather, the mascot needs to go home from the recession every day. Cola……

"It doesn't fight with Sprite. They live together. I watch pet monitoring during the day, so it's very harmonious." Chi Nian said, touching the big tortoiseshell cat stretching on the bed.

"Maybe it's because big cats and puppies can get along harmoniously, and it won't work if the puppies come first." Xi Shan said.

Chi Nian replied maybe.

The topic came to an abrupt end, and under the palm of his hand, Coke curled up into a ball again, dissatisfied with the new clothes that said "Happy Fat House" on his body, and meowed tenderly and softly.

Beside the bed, Chi Nian moved Sprite's kennel to a place where he could see it as soon as he poked his head. His gaze was swaying. Sprite had already snored with her four little paws curled up.

The winter is hard and long. Both the cat and the puppy just want to sleep hard, but he is the only one who is under the cold blanket every day.

In the camera, Xi Shan should have found a bench in the hospital corridor and videotaped himself.There is heating in Qinghai, but he still put on a coat. In just a few days, his face became thinner again, and the already sharp mandible outline seemed to be able to stab people. Looking fierce, Chi Nian felt distressed.

"Aren't you tired?" Chi Nian spoke again, with a wrinkle between his brows involuntarily.

Xi Shan rubbed his hair, he had tied it up too hastily, and now it was almost loose, so he simply tore off the rubber band.The slightly curly hair covered most of his eyebrows and eyes, Xi Shan brushed them away without saying anything.

Chi Nian asked himself and answered: "Forget it, you must be very tired. Every time you reply to my message, it is midnight."

Xi Shan explained: "It's impossible for the old man to keep watch at night. My mother and aunt... have to cook and take care of themselves during the day. I can't do that, so I have to spend the night with my cousin to accompany me in bed."

"Taking care of patients is the hardest thing." Chi Nian sighed, "But it should be fine when you transfer to another hospital, right?"

Xi Shan nodded: "Well, anyway, it's not as dangerous as it was a few days ago. We were discussing yesterday. Grandpa hoped that my mother and I would stay for the New Year. I didn't agree. She can just stay by herself."

Chi Nian said "ah", "But you haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

"So I didn't say anything when I saw it."

He bluntly did not mention himself, Xi Shan didn't know whether to tell the truth after hearing it for a while.After a long while, he stretched out his hand and tapped the frame as if he was tidying Chi Nian's bangs across the screen.

"I want to come back with you more."

In the dead of night, it is easy to blurt out nasty words that are not so easy to speak clearly.

One of Qinghai and Chongqing is a plateau, and the other is a river valley. From Yuzhong to Delingha, it is [-] kilometers, which can span half of China.Chi Nian slept on a cold mattress and almost cried on the spot because of Xi Shan's words.

He lowered his head, rubbed his fingers against the corners of his eyes a few times, held back his sour tears, and managed to stabilize his emotions so as not to cry again: "Oh, why are you... all of a sudden..."

"Little crying bag." Xi Shan smiled, "Is it made of water? It's so easy to shed tears."

"You clearly know it's because of the well-developed tear glands! I can't control it." Chi Nian started laughing after being teased by him, pinched the tip of his reddish nose, and made a face at Xi Shan.

The two finally had time to chat intimately for a while, but because Xi Shan's place was considered a public place, Chi Nian had accumulated a lot of love talk, so he was embarrassed to say it.He was afraid that Xi Shan had something to do in the middle of the talk, and he was worried that the earphones would leak sound, and what if Xi Shan's cousin came over temporarily and Xi Shan was forced to come out of the closet...it would not be good.

He hugged Xi Shan's pillow, and in the end he stared wide-eyed, admitting duplicity: He also misses Xi Shan.

"Then you'd better come back quickly to accompany me." Chi Nian said, burying the lower half of his face in the hard memory foam pillow, coquettishly, "I dreamed of you last night."

Xi Shan asked, "What did you dream about me?"

Chi Nian was choked on a rare occasion, his pupils trembled, and he dodged left and right for a long time, humming like a mosquito: "Ask me so clearly what to do...you can't come back now..."

On the other side of the screen, Xi Shan, who was wearing earphones, accepted this sentence without any defense.I swear to God, he really only asked that sentence out of sloppiness and curiosity, after a while, he seemed to understand what kind of dream Chi Nian was having, and after following his thoughts, he blushed a rare occurrence.

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore!" Chi Nian wanted to hang up the video, "Sleep, sleep, good night!"

"Yeah." Xi Shan obeyed him, seeing someone was eager to ignore him, but his movements were slow, he simply moved closer to the headset, and whispered so that Chi Nian could fully hear him.

"Tell me slowly when you get home."

Chi Nian was halfway lying down, when he heard this tease unexpectedly, his phone hit his face, and he ended the call with an "Aww".

Xi Shan's voice is indeed special, because it is a bit too deep and rustling due to the sequelae of smoking, but it is not hoarse and mocking.He is reticent and speaks a fierce dialect. The first sentence or two in Mandarin is not amazing, but with a few more words, Chi Nian always thinks of "Bashan night rain rises autumn pond".

Chi Nian thought that he was used to listening to it long ago, and there would be no more fluctuations.But those words were converted into sound waves and transmitted to the brain, before the information could be processed, half of his body went numb, and then his heart beat wildly.

Turning over, the nose still hurts a bit.Chi Nian felt that Coke shrunk into a cat ball at his feet, warming him through the quilt, and Sprite's snoring gradually subsided.

It was so quiet that there was only the sound of the wind, but both the cat and the puppy began to dream.

He could only hear his own heartbeat, which intensified.

"It's so annoying..." Chi Nian complained in a low voice, closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep immediately.

But those words, Xi Shan's smile, his eyes slightly bent into crescent moons when looking at him, and even the fingers briefly brushing the edge of the picture, all made Chi Nian think about it, and his mind was full of strange pictures.

He endured it quietly for 5 minutes, but he couldn't do it. He got up, wrapped his coat and went to the toilet.

Panting gradually calmed down, Chi Nian angrily wrote down a note to Xi Shan in the small notebook while washing his hands: just because Xi Shan was not around, he was lonely and cold, and in order to appear less lonely, he slept with the cat and dog, Even to solve my own needs, I can only sneak to the bathroom!

However, the desires of adults are very honest, what Xi Shan said just now...

Chi Nian pondered for a while, and was sure it was what he thought.

His dream was very complicated.

That night, Chi Nian didn't sleep well.Fortunately, the next day, when the students had their final exams, he didn't have to go to work in the studio, and he couldn't fall asleep when he woke up. He wandered around to eat a bowl of noodles near Jiefangbei, and then took the light rail to Lanshan.

"Decline" is like an independent dream, it is Xi Shan's painstaking effort, and it is also Chi Nian's safe haven.

Close the door, and the noise of Times Paradise Street will be separated from the outside.

In the lapis lazuli-colored corridor, Chi Nian went around, asked Chen Mianmian for a cup of latte, and took the cup to occupy the only single seat in the entire Lanshan by the bookshelf.

This place is a protruding concrete base during renovation. There were no tables and chairs at first, but later the number of guests came, and some of them couldn't find a place to sit and simply rested on it.After frequent occurrences, Xi Shan bought a woven straw mat and threw it on top, and added a bracket nailed to the wall to serve as a tabletop, with wall decorations, forming a very literary corner.

Chi Nian came early, this place belongs to him.

After leisurely drinking half a cup of coffee, Chi Nian raised his head and looked at the few photos that Xi Shan had hung up.

This feeling is very strange: he has already seen the beautiful scenery of the clear photo, but it is hung on the blue wall in thick ink, and when it hits the retina, Chi Nian will stare at it for a long time until he is almost completely submerged by the brilliant sunset.

Clouds have the same texture as water, as if following the flow, one or two spots of light are shaking from time to time; and the water is like a silent sky, splashing a handful of sunsets with magnificence thousands of miles away.

Others only saw the scenery, but Chi Nian could see Xi Shan taking pictures outside the camera.

"Meng Qing!" Chi Nian stood up suddenly and ran to the bar, "Do you have oil-based pens here? Pencils and ink pens are fine, as long as they can write."

Meng Qing handed him a black fountain pen: "That's all. Now who is free to write, what are you writing for?"

"I won't tell you." After Chi Nian finished speaking, he smiled at him and ran away.

Now that there are few people in the recession, Chi Nian borrowed the ladder in the workshop and stepped on it to take pictures of the setting sun.During this period, Meng Qing was worried that he and Xi Shan would fall in the same place, and kept watching secretly from a distance nervously.

The photographs were framed, but not nailed.

Standing on the ladder to the ground, Chi Nian easily took off the partition. After thinking about it, he decided to express his heart, bowed his waist, and wrote a line on the small table.

He wants to leave a gift for Xi Shan.

When Xi Shan comes back, let the other party see for himself, this is a secret that no one else will know.

After finishing all this, Chi Nian put all the tools and photos back to their place with satisfaction, sat on the mat again, with one leg crossed in front of him, lowered his head and continued to read the book "On Chesil Beach" intently.

Turning the page again and yawning, Chi Nian picked up the cup and was about to drink a latte when the phone vibrated suddenly.

He was absent-minded, looking at the screen with his coffee in his mouth, the note prompted by WeChat almost made Chi Nian spit on the page——

Chi Xiao: Good brother, are you going home for the Chinese New Year?

I read this message three times, and looked at the last time he and Chi Xiao chatted: in early June last year, Chi Xiao asked him to borrow 6 yuan to buy earrings, and they had nothing to do with each other since then.

The relationship between him and Chi Xiao can't be said to be good or bad, but it is definitely not to the extent that the other party will suddenly change his name and call him "good brother"...

The confusion of the behavior made Chi Nian couldn't help thinking: "What are you doing?"
