I'm in Delingha tonight

Ding Li didn't plan to stay in Chongqing for too long.

Firstly, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are still a lot of things to do in Beijing; secondly, she came here only to see Chi Nian and his "very beloved" boyfriend.

She plays casually, but she needs Chi Nian to accompany her every step of the way, which is a bit annoying.The young couple who had just had physical contact had not had time to stay at home for a few days. Chi Nian was forced to carry bags behind Boss Ding every day.

Probably because of his amazing power of thought, after Ding Li went to visit the Lanshan Bookstore, she felt that her "boyfriend" was a reliable person, so she sympathetically expressed that she would return to Beijing first.

With great difficulty, Chi Nian suppressed the corners of his mouth, not letting the upward arc be too obvious, and mumbled a bunch of "I have to go back so early" and "Why don't we play for a few more days", his words were full of regret—and then When Ding Li narrowed his eyes and tentatively said, "Do you really want me to stay?", the tail of the fox was revealed.

"Mummy, I can take care of myself, don't worry, safe journey!"

On the way to Jiangbei Airport, in the back seat of the Toyota, Chi Nian acted unscrupulously: "Mommy, can you... praise Brother Xi a little more in front of Lao Chi, you see, he is the one who invites you to eat, drink and have fun these days."

Ding Li had no resistance to his tone, and helplessly tugged Chi Nian's ear: "When you need something from me, you will speak well, come on."

"Mom, you are very beautiful today!" Chi Nian said flatteringly.

Ding Li glanced at him and compromised: "However, I didn't agree only because of you. You are still young and have no determination. I was impulsive once before. I hope you will think carefully about your decisions in the future. Otherwise, even this time If you are lucky enough to meet someone who treats you well, there will inevitably be conflicts in the future."

Chi Nian secretly looked at Xi Shan from the rearview mirror.

The man who was driving seriously observed the road conditions, as if he didn't hear what they were talking about in the back row.

"Living together, don't be too self-willed just because others treat you well, no one should pamper you forever, huh?" Ding Liyu continued earnestly, "When encountering a problem, first find a way to solve it, if it really can't be solved— —”

"Mom." Chi Nian said softly, "It won't be solved."

Ding Li seemed to think of something and smiled lightly.

Departed early and arrived at the airport a long time before departure.Xi Shan stopped the car, took out something wrapped in a fresh-keeping bag and a food box from the trunk as if by magic, and walked up to Ding Li.

Chi Nian didn't expect him to bring a gift, so he stayed where he was, blinking in confusion.

Ding Li was also puzzled: "Hey, this is..."

"When I went to Qinghai this time, I just met a friend." Xi Shan said, "The yellow mushrooms, a specialty in Qinghai, were harvested last year and dried in the sun. They can be soaked in soup and taste good. Auntie, you came here unexpectedly this time, and I didn't." It's time to prepare...there aren't many things, I'm laughing at you."

Ding Li almost rolled his eyes with a smile: "How embarrassing..."

He said it on his mouth, but took it over politely.

"Thank you, Xiao Xi, you are so considerate. They must add another dish to the New Year's Eve dinner."

Ding Li hadn't seen anything good in these years, so how could she be so rare about a pack of dried mushrooms, but Xi Shan gave it to her, and she acted genuinely happy.

Chi Nian's throat twitched, wanting to speak, but in the end he didn't add fuel.

He vaguely guessed that his mother might really like Xi Shan, otherwise, these days, he would go to Xi Shan's store to investigate, and let him and Xi Shan be together...Plus Ding Li always appreciates progress humble young man...

Maybe if they get along a little longer, her own son will have to be replaced.

Thinking of this, Chi Nian couldn't help shivering.

After the greetings, I accompanied Ding Li to check-in. There was not much luggage, so there was no need to check it in.Xi Shan watched the children busy before and after, and when they finally sent them to the security check, Chi Nian, who was so happy just now, was a little bit reluctant. He stood there listening to Ding Li's detailed instructions, his mouth shrugged, and he forcibly held back tears.

"You can tell your mother when you encounter problems, don't insist on resisting like before." Ding Li seemed to be talking about Chi Nian being cheated of money, and said with blame, "Protect yourself."

Chi Nian couldn't help but nodded: "Mom, don't worry."

Just as Ding Li wanted to say, "Eat a fall, you will gain wisdom", Chi Nian swore to promise, pulled Xi Shan's arm beside him, and flaunted, "And isn't there Brother Xi?"

Ding Li: "..."

Ding Li: "I'm leaving."

She turned to look at Xi Shan, and the two exchanged short glances without saying anything.

After Ding Li's figure disappeared into the security check passage, Chi Nian seemed to have finally escaped from the pressure of the past few days. His originally tense nerves instantly relaxed. Regardless of being in a public place, he tilted his body and leaned towards Xi Shan as if no one else was around—— Xi Shan was caught off guard, and instinctively put his arm around Chi Nian.

"I'm so tired, I'm going back..." Chi Nian rubbed Xi Shan's neck vigorously, "I can't walk anymore brother, you can hug me."

Xi Shan smiled: "Don't be lazy."

Chi Nian played tricks and refused to let go.

After walking a few steps in the hugging position, Chi Nian still looked like a mollusc, not intending to walk properly at all.Xi Shan threatened: "Let go, or I'll carry you here."

As soon as these words came out, Chi Nian immediately stood behind him cooperatively: "Then you carry it on your back."

It has the meaning of "I'm shameless anyway".

Xi Shan couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect him to have such a way, and he was completely convinced.He stretched out his hand back, and as expected Chi Nian held it, and naturally changed from holding hands to interlocking fingers.

The car radio was played when I came, and the CD of "Golden Age" was replaced on the return trip.

In the interlacing of the guitar and the harmonica, Chi Nian hummed softly by his ears.He was so happy that his heart also flew above the clouds, and even Jiang Feng didn't feel cold.

When a song reached its climax, Xi Shan asked suddenly: "Auntie likes to call you 'baby'."

"This is my nickname." When Chi Nian mentioned this, he shyly looked away, "They wanted a daughter at the time, and my mother said that the nickname was Baobao. However, she followed other relatives and called her 'Niannian' , I don’t know why I suddenly started shouting like that again this time...but anyway, it’s just what I’m used to.”

After he finished speaking, he didn't know Xi Shan's intention for asking this, and secretly speculated: "What's the matter, do you feel too, too delicate?"

"You're always delicate." Xi Shan glanced at him, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, as if smacking the two words in a low voice, "Baby?"

When Xi Shan uttered the name he had heard for many years, Chi Nian's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and the back of his neck felt numb for a moment like an electric shock.He couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his face, trying to avoid the overly numb feeling.

Xi Shan read it twice, then paused for a moment: "Forget it, I'm not used to shouting like that."

"Hey?"

So were you confirming something strange just now?

Xi Shan didn't care about his rare silence, he buried his head in thought for a while, and suddenly shouted:

"Yaoer."

"Eh?……"

When the two words fell, the song in the car was just playing "Only tonight, you said you will love me forever".

Younger, Chi Nian vaguely knew that it was a special and ambiguous title.The mountain city is hot and restless, and the southerners who have lived on the banks of the Yangtze River for a long time can express their love without reservation.When the short "Yaoer" is connected together, it seems to slide gently from the tip of the tongue, like a kiss, sticking to the ear with the warm breath.

Seemingly determined to call him that in the future, Xi Shan blinked: "Do you like it?"

Chi Nian lowered his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "It's so strange."

"Aren't you leaving in the future?" Xi Shan asked.

There was no connection between the two sentences, but Chi Nian understood what he meant, and shook his head: "Don't go. It's fine here, except that it's too cold in winter... But, isn't it because you're here?"

In the music, the rhythm of the drum beats slowly and lightly, and Xi Shan shook Chi Nian's hand amidst a brisk acoustic guitar.

In the afternoon, Chi Nian went to the studio for the last two days before the festival.

Xi Shan has nowhere to go, and without Chi Nian beside him to arrange for him to "eat this" and "go there", he feels lonely for a long time when he doesn't know what to do.Fortunately, he built himself a shelter and went to the recession.

Just took Ding Li to visit the day before, when Xi Shan came in, Meng Qing came up to him when he saw him, looked left and right, and asked furtively in his surprised eyes: "Boss, where is the rich woman from yesterday?"

"What rich woman?" Xi Shan pretended to be deep.

Meng Qing: "Ah, I followed you in yesterday for a visit... Chen Mianmian said it!" He immediately betrayed her colleague, "Chen Mianmian said that her bags cost 10,000+. Could it be that you gave us a new investment in our store? ?"

Xi Shan was speechless for a while, wondering how this stunned young man felt that Lan Shan was so advanced that he needed to "pull investment", so he didn't bother to explain, and just gave him a blank stare.He walked into the bar familiarly, made himself a cup of espresso with milk and no sugar, and then took out his mobile phone to see if Chi Nian had sent a message.

"Boss," Chen Mianmian smiled flatteringly, "Who is that auntie?"

Xi Shan didn't raise his head: "Mother-in-law."

The three words hit Chen Mianmian, she almost looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she quickly hugged the Coke and swallowed the scream that was about to come out, buried her face in the thick back of the Coke and sucked it hard.

"What's wrong?" Xi Shan asked.

Chen Mianmian turned a deaf ear and murmured to himself: "Too soon, too soon...I'll see my parents...less than half a year!...No, no, Nian Nian, he's actually Bai Fumei!"

Xi Shan: "..."

He was about to take the opportunity to say something mean to Chen Mianmian when Meng Qing went around to the bar from the other side.With secrets written all over her face, Meng Qing lowered her voice gossipingly: "Boss, I have to sue you."

"what?"

"During the few days you went to Qinghai, Niannian came over and moved your photo, and even wrote on it!" Meng Qing thought she had seen through the ulterior truth, and said clearly, "Really, he came to find I borrowed the pen."

Xi Shan almost laughed out loud: "Oh, that's good."

He remembered that Chi Nian had said it once.

But I didn't choose the right time to say it - when I just returned to Chongqing in the evening, after comforting each other again, when I was a little exhausted, Chi Nian was very sober, and leaned into his ear, her voice was small, soft and clingy Kiss him after saying a few words in a delicate manner, preventing Xi Shan from falling asleep.

"I, I have prepared a surprise for you..."

"Put it in a recession."

"When are you going to see it?"

Xi Shan was sleeping in a daze at that time, after listening to the general idea, he only knew to hug someone, kissed Chi Nian's forehead twice in response, but was scratched a few paws.At this moment, memories were flooding, and he found that he still remembered.

The sunset photo of Qinghai contrasts sharply with the blue background cloth.

Xi Shan looked up for a few minutes before taking it off.

The background music of the book bar has always been chosen by Xiao Chen, soft folk songs or pure music.That day, she found an old English song from somewhere, like an episode of a classic movie, the male voice has a sense of story, telling a love story gently.

In the piano like flowing water, Xi Shan took off the partition behind him, and at first glance, he didn't see any clues.

But soon, he found a line of words in the lower right corner of the photo.

Chi Nian's handwriting is easy to recognize, unlike his always amiable, soft and manipulative character, his writing is clear and neat, almost paranoid.

These handwritings have appeared many times, the "menu" on the post-it notes pasted on the refrigerator door, the signatures in the corners of the sketches, and the occasional scribbles on the draft paper...

Chi Nian wrote his name and copied some lyrics that they all liked.So much so that at first glance, Xi Shan thought it was another love quote from a book that was randomly picked on the photo.

But in the next second, he realized that these words were all Chi Nian left him.

As far as gifts are concerned, there are really no surprises.

But Xi Shan looked at it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth inadvertently flattened out into a line.

It was as if the wind on the plateau sounded in his ears, turning into rain and turning into scorching sun.Four Seasons hurriedly walked beside him, all the bright or gloomy emotions broke through his chest, and finally fell silent.

Chi Nian hasn't seriously said "love" to him yet.

The back of the photo is not suitable for writing. The first two or three strokes are a bit unclear, so they are deepened several times.When Xi Shan touched it with his fingers, he could still feel the sunken solemnity of the strokes.

——I love you from the sunset in no man's land.

The inscription is a simple stick figure: a little sun falls into the embrace of mountains.
