Out of place

When Cheng Boyan went into the bathroom to take a shower, he slapped Xiang Xi's butt, walked two steps back and pinched him.

Xiang Xi took the washed cup and was about to go out, when he was startled by his pinch on the buttocks, he yelled: "Why you!"

"You just slapped my ass." Cheng Boyan said solemnly as he walked to the bathroom.

"Then I didn't pinch your butt, why are you pinching me!" Xiang Xi shouted, touching his butt.

"Then you pinch it back," Cheng Boyan stood at the door of the bathroom, raised his hand and took off his T-shirt. Before Xiang Xi could react, he pulled off his sweatpants again, and turned his back to him in only his underwear. Overhead, "Pinch?"

"Shameless old thing!" Xiang Xi was stunned, cursed and ran back to the living room.

He was relieved when he heard the sound of Cheng Boyan closing the bathroom door, and sat down on the sofa.

He felt that he must like Cheng Boyan very much. Although he didn't know what this kind of liking was, he didn't resist Cheng Boyan's intimate behavior towards him... Not only did he not resist, but he also liked it, very comfortable, and Cheng Boyan hugged and hugged, rubbing back and forth, feeling comfortable every time he touched it.

Of course, sometimes I can't help it... I want to consume it.

But when Leng Buding saw Cheng Boyan's almost whole body, he would still run away in shock, and every time he thought of the few glances he caught in the clips, he felt that the hairs would stand at attention in fright.

The old rascal!

When Cheng Boyan came out of the shower, Xiang Xi was sitting in front of the computer, saving all the photos from the camera to the computer, and looking at them one by one.

For the photos he saved before, Cheng Boyan renamed each photo according to the date, and subdivided into several folders in the street view room.

"Just put your new ones outside, and I'll sort them out for you when I'm done." Cheng Boyan rubbed his hair.

"What a hassle." Xiang Xi whispered.

"It's not troublesome, it's a mess, I feel uncomfortable," Cheng Boyan walked to him, "The more the photos are taken, the better. After sorting them out, you can take time to see how you can get better and better. It's so interesting. "

Xiang Xi looked up at Cheng Boyan and smiled.

Cheng Boyan's back was facing the chandelier in the living room, and the light came from behind his head, the light dyed his hair brightly, with a small halo.

Xiang Xi grabbed the camera and raised it to Cheng Boyan: "Don't move."

Cheng Boyan smiled and stood still.

Xiang Xi took a few pictures in succession before he lowered his head to check one by one.

"How did it turn out?" Cheng Boyan leaned over and asked.

"This one is good." Xiang Xi picked out a satisfactory one and showed it to Cheng Boyan, "You have a really nice smile."

"What's the name of this one?" Cheng Boyan smiled, "A handsome guy like a god, with a faint smile, I see light?"

"No," Xiang Xi put down the camera and glanced at him, "Guanyin Bodhisattva."

After looking at the photo, Xiang Xi looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. It was getting late and he should go back to the supermarket, but he sat still and watched Cheng Boyan sitting on the sofa blowing his hair.

"I've been watching it for a long time," Cheng Boyan glanced at him, turned off the hair dryer and handed it to him, "Blow it for me?"

"Okay," Xiang Xi stood up and walked over. He only dried his hair when making his mohawk in the barber shop. He didn't have a hair dryer, and he didn't use it. Get up and spray some hairspray, he took the hair dryer, "I'll play."

"Temperature and wind can be turned on at high speed," Cheng Boyan said, "There is no tube type."

Cheng Boyan's hair is similar to his, it's quite stiff, and it won't lie on his head when it's dry, just blow and blow it casually.

Xiang Xi turned on a strong wind and blew towards Cheng Boyan's head.

Not a second after blowing, Cheng Boyan suddenly dodged forward: "Hey."

"What's wrong?" Xiang Xi asked.

"I'm burnt to death, don't you smell the burnt smell?" Cheng Boyan rubbed his hair, "Stay away."

"Oh," Xiang Xi lifted the hair dryer away and blowing, and sighed again, "I make vegetable paste, make chocolate chocolate paste, blow my head and my hair is also paste, am I considered a man who is carrying the curse of paste?"

"You're still carrying the curse of a broken cooking pot," Cheng Boyan said.

Xiang Xi laughed at the back of his head for a long time.

After blowing his hair, Cheng Boyan turned his head and looked at him with his bristling hair: "Are you going back to the supermarket?"

"Well, I have to go back, I'm on duty," Xiang Xi started laughing again, "Why do you have such hair, take a big top."

"Just stand up and play for a while, you won't be able to lie down tomorrow," Cheng Boyan stood up, "I'll take you back."

"I take the bus." Xiang Xi rubbed his nose.

"There's no car at this point." Cheng Boyan went into the bedroom, changed his clothes and came out, putting his arm around his shoulders, "Let's go."

"I'm sweaty and haven't showered yet." Xiang Xi said.

"I'll wash another one when I come back." Cheng Boyan didn't let go.

"The king of cleanliness with a bathtub on his back..." Xiang Xi clicked his tongue.

Although it's getting late, the nightlife on the street has just begun in summer. The high and low neon lights on both sides of the road are flickering, and the sound of music drifts past from time to time.

Xiang Xi leaned on the car window and looked out. He hadn't walked on such a street for a long time.

In the past countless nights, he and Mantou walked in the shadows under the lights, sometimes wandering around with nothing to do, and sometimes looking for work.

He was subconsciously afraid of this kind of environment with flickering lights and noisy people.

The kind of person who once surrounded him was floating, his heart was floating, and he was floating when he was alive, and his feet would never be able to step on the real panic.

He lowered his head, stomped his feet, and stopped looking out.

"Want to talk about Mantou?" Cheng Boyan asked suddenly.

Xiang Xi shook his fingers slightly, sighed, and said after a while: "Mantou came to the supermarket to look for me, only stayed for a few minutes before leaving, to say goodbye."

"I went to the supermarket to find you?" Cheng Boyan let go of the accelerator and glanced at him.

"Well," Xiang Xi also glanced at him. Cheng Boyan's words could hear a completely different point from his own, but it made him easily feel the concern, his heart softened warmly, and he smiled, "He He came quietly, and no one followed him."

"Come to say goodbye? Where is he going?" Cheng Boyan returned to Xiang Xi's point.

"I don't know," Xiang Xi frowned, "If he doesn't say anything, I always think something will happen."

Xiang Xi said all his thoughts, wanted to help but was unable to help, and was afraid of causing trouble to Cheng Boyan, the key was that Mantou obviously didn't intend to let him reach out.

"I also know that this is the only way to go, but I always feel a little uncomfortable," Xiang Xi said softly, "I'm also afraid that something will happen to him."

Cheng Boyan didn't speak, and drove the car silently. When the car was almost at the supermarket, he said: "Call the police."

"Call the police?" Xiang Xi was startled, and suddenly stood up and stared at him.

"It's not that kind of report to the police," Cheng Boyan reached out and pressed his shoulder, "Didn't he be abducted? Although we didn't find out that day, if his parents reported the case, there should be a record. Let's report to the police." , and maybe help him find a home."

Xiang Xi didn't speak, his deep fear of the police made him unable to respond to Cheng Boyan's words.

"I'm going to call the police," Cheng Boyan said. "Although it may not be effective, at least we can have a record here. If we can contact his parents, the family can come and look for them. Maybe we can help him."

With only one name, one age at the time of abduction, and one southern city, Xiang Xi didn't even dare to think about the chances of success based on the family members who wanted to find the steamed buns.

"Is it possible to find it?" he asked.

"I don't have much hope," Cheng Boyan said honestly, "but it's better than doing nothing, and this is the only thing you can do now."

"The only one?" Xiang Xi sighed softly.

"Xiang Xi, you didn't do anything wrong." Cheng Boyan turned the car onto a small road and parked it on the side of the road. "Of course, besides this, you can do one thing, which is to walk your own way."

Xiang Xi turned his head to look at him.

"If you stand firm and solid, you can do more things. It's that simple," Cheng Boyan said. When you reach the light, you have to become the light. Let Mantou take a look. After all, there are still people who can come out of that broken place and go on. Not only do you have to see, you can also be the light yourself, and you can stand there... ..."

Cheng Boyan hesitated halfway through his speech, as if he was thinking of words, and after thinking for a long time, he continued: "Stand there...become...become a...street lamp?"

Xiang Xi was very moved when he heard it. He didn't expect Cheng Boyan to say such a thing. He was waiting for Cheng Boyan to give him a high-level position, but he didn't expect Cheng Boyan to give him a streetlight in the end.

He didn't hold back for a moment, and laughed until his head hit the car window: "Oh, I really saw the beginning and didn't expect the end..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't continue after a while of being disgusting," Cheng Boyan also smiled, "That's what I said."

"I understand." Xiang Xi smiled for a while and stopped slowly, looking at Cheng Boyan, "Actually, I think so too, I understand everything you say, and I will do it, I just... want to hear from you, You said it, and I am at ease."

"Small perfunctory road roller," Cheng Boyan restarted the car and drove towards the supermarket, "I promise you will be able to press it firmly and steadily."

Xiang Xi didn't know when Cheng Boyan reported to the police, and Cheng Boyan never mentioned it to him.

But Cheng Boyan was very relieved of what he agreed to do, so he didn't ask. Of course, some dared not ask, one was afraid of the police, and the other was afraid that people would ignore him.

Saturday is coming soon, and there are more people on weekends. Although he only works for half a day, he is still quite tired, but after eating something casually, he excitedly squeezed on the bus to Old Man Lu's house.

Today was the first time to formally learn tea from old man Lu, and the old man asked him to come over in the afternoon and show him the tea room.

Cheng Boyan brought him a bracelet the day before, saying that he would bring it to the old man.

Xiang Xi put it on, but he didn't know what material the bracelet was made of, it felt like wood, Cheng Boyan said it wasn't expensive, it was just a wish.

Old man Lu didn't refuse when he saw the bracelet, he just patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then led him out: "Come on, follow me to the tea room."

Old man Lu's own tea room is not at home, it is on the side of the mountain behind the tea research institute, because the distance is not too far, old man Lu took him there.

Xiang Xi looked around all the way, the environment here is very good, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, there are mountains and rivers next to it, and the crowns of the trees on both sides of the road are not too pruned, covering the road like a roof. Even walking on the road in summer doesn't feel hot.

Old man Lu's teahouse looked ordinary from the outside. It was on the top floor of an ordinary three-story building built by the peasants next to him.

"The scenery is pretty good," Old Man Lu led him up, "The main reason is that it is quiet."

"Do you always come here for tea?" Xiang Xi asked.

"You can drink tea anywhere," Old Man Lu said, "Come here to meditate, and you have to meditate when you learn something. We should pay attention to the influence of the environment."

Different from old man Lu's house, although this tea room is not too particular, it is still slightly decorated. There are tea sets on a large log tea table, and there are various tea sets and tea leaves on the wooden shelf next to it. A piano was placed casually beside it.

A balcony with wooden railings can be seen outside the window, facing the mountain, Xiang Xi walked over to have a look: "Is tea planted on the mountain?"

"Well," old man Lu came over, "this is a small tea mountain."

Xiang Xi didn't speak, and stood by the window looking at it for a long time, the sun was shining outside the window, green tea trees were neatly lined up on the mountain, and occasionally a bird chirped.

This kind of tranquility in the afternoon sun makes people feel a kind of stretched comfort in an instant.

"You still play the piano?" Xiang Xi looked at the piano next to him.

"I don't play it," Old Man Lu smiled. "This is my apprentice's. You should have heard him play the piano."

"The one who played the piano in Yunshui Fanxin that day?" Xiang Xi thought of the man in the white coat who played the piano next to old man Lu that day.

"Yes," old man Lu pawed on the piano twice, "I'll boil some water, and then we'll drink and chat."

"It sounds like I want to drink, and then I will have a plate of edamame," Xiang Xi said with a smile, took out the camera from his bag, and stood at the window facing the tea mountain outside, "Master, can I take a photo of you later?"

"Okay," Old Man Lu said, "Do you still like taking pictures?"

"Just kidding," Xiang Xi took two pictures, turned around and smiled, "I...haven't been to school much, I can't write well, if I have any ideas, I just take a picture, it's convenient."

"Very good," Old Man Lu was not surprised or curious about the fact that he had never been to school, "As long as people are willing to watch, listen, and think, then it's fine."

After the water was boiled, Old Man Lu took out the tea leaves and sat down at the tea table: "Try the new tea from the Tea Research Institute this year, it's grown on this mountain."

"Okay." Xiang Xi put the camera away and sat opposite him.

Old man Lu didn't explain the procedure of making tea to him, but slowly started to fiddle with the tea set in front of him, took out the tea leaves, washed the tea and brewed it.

Xiang Xi watched quietly.

"Xiaoxi," old man Lu poured out the tea slowly, "drinking tea doesn't matter where you are or what utensils you use. Drinking tea is drinking tea. The 'quietness' brought about by the process of drinking tea."

"En." Xiang Xi took the teacup, smelled it, and took a sip.

"Keep your body quiet, your ears quiet, your heart still," old man Lu continued pouring tea, "We are busy every day, and now we just use it to relax. Only when we are quiet can we move. It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do."

Cheng Boyan had a rest today, and originally wanted to ask Xiang Xi to go out for a stroll, buy him two sets of clothes or force him to buy two sets of clothes for himself, but Xiang Xi was going to the tea room, so Cheng Boyan had to sit at home and read a book.

After reading the book, I planned to exercise. When I entered the study and saw the treadmill, I suddenly wanted to laugh.

I stood on the treadmill and laughed for a long time before I pressed the switch, adjusted to a not too fast speed and ran slowly.

Not long after running, the phone rang.

In order to prevent the small perfunctory of rolling, Cheng Boyan first supported the treadmill with his hand, slowed down the speed, and then picked up the phone to answer it.

"Come out." As soon as the phone was connected, Lin He's voice came out.

"Reason?" Cheng Boyan asked, his voice trembling and panting.

"What... are you doing?" Lin He was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted, "I rely on Boyan, you are so awesome, now you can't stop calling me?"

"Song Yi didn't give you drugs recently," Cheng Boyan said with a smile, "I'm running, tell me what's the matter."

"It's really okay, it's just that we haven't seen you for a long time and miss you," Lin He said, "Go to karaoke at night, your throat is itchy, and bring Xiangxi."

Cheng Boyan didn't speak, and thought for a while before saying, "I'll ask him."

The last time I ate with this group of people, Xiang Xi burst into tears and ran away. He didn't know if Xiang Xi would like to eat and sing with them again.

"Then you ask," Lin He told him the location, "Come here if you can come at night."

Cheng Boyan didn't call Xiang Xi, he was afraid of affecting the old man's tea talk to Xiang Xi, so he drove out directly after taking a shower.

Xiang Xi only said before that Old Man Cheng's tea room was on the mountain side behind the Tea Research Institute. He saw that there was enough time, so he planned to drive there and wander around to find it slowly.

The scenery here at the Tea Research Institute is very good, and there are few people and cars. Cheng Boyan drove around the road for a long time, but he didn't see the second car.

Although it took almost half an hour to find a place after arriving at the place, Cheng Boyan didn't feel irritable, which was completely different from driving a car on the streets of the city looking for a parking space.

It's a pleasure wandering around like this.

After driving for a while, Cheng Boyan saw that the time was almost over, so he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Xiang Xi to ask.

Before dialing the number, I saw two people turning out from the intersection of the small road ahead.

The one in front knew it was Xiang Xi at a glance, and the one who jumped out was followed by an old man, old man Lu.

Cheng Boyan lightly pressed the horn and drove the car over.

"My friend!" Xiang Xi waved his hand at the car, then turned to old man Lu and said, "Let me learn from you, he suggested."

"Really." Old man Lu smiled.

Cheng Boyan's car stopped, he got out of the car, walked over with a smile and extended his hand to old man Lu: "Hi Mr. Lu, I'm Xiang Xi's friend, Cheng Boyan."

"Hello," Old Man Lu shook hands with him, "Are you here to pick up Xiangxi?"

"Get in the car, I'll take you back." Cheng Boyan said.

"Don't be so polite," Old Man Lu smiled, "I'll take a walk for a while, this section of road is suitable for walking, if you have something to do with Xiang Xi, go first."

"We have nothing to do," Cheng Boyan hesitated, "Xiang Xi will take you for a walk."

"Well, I'll accompany you for a walk back." Xiang Xi said immediately.

Old man Lu smiled, didn't say anything, and walked forward slowly with Xiang Xi.

Cheng Boyan got back into the car, started the car and slowly drove behind them. He wanted to drive over to the front and wait, but the road was too narrow, and the old man and Xiang Xi were chatting and walking ahead, but they didn't let go. the meaning of.

He had no choice but to continue to follow, maintaining the speed of crawling.

After driving for a while, old man Lu stopped and turned around: "Let's get in the car."

"Stop walking?" Xiang Xi asked.

"The scene is too big," old man Lu laughed, "I don't know which old man came out with bodyguards..."

"Am I too close?" Cheng Boyan also smiled, got out of the car and opened the door for old man Lu.

"If you get closer, I'll feel like I'm being chased away. If I walk too slowly, I'll hit my ass." Old man Lu patted his pants with a smile.

Cheng Boyan drove old man Lu back home, and it was not far away, so he could indeed walk back.

"Let's go directly to the tea room on Wednesday night," Old Man Lu said to Xiang Xi, "The night view of the tea mountain is also good. Let's talk about Qin then."

"Okay," Xiang Xi nodded, "Master, please rest, we are leaving."

After the old man Lu entered the house, Xiang Xi jumped into the passenger driver, slammed the door and said, "Drive!"

"Aren't you learning the tea ceremony? Why are you still teaching the qin?" Cheng Boyan turned the car around, "Your master can also play the qin?"

"He talked about everything, and he talked about painting for a while today." Xiang Xi leaned back in the chair comfortably, "Why didn't you call me when you came to pick me up? I almost laughed out of my mouth when I saw your car just now." gone."

"So happy?" Cheng Boyan reached out and touched his face.

"Well, I just didn't expect it. I was very happy when I saw it suddenly," Xiang Xi said with a smile, "Shall we go to dinner?"

"Lin He just called and said to have dinner." Cheng Boyan looked at him, "A few friends, do you want to go?"

"Lin He?" Xiang Xi was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Just Song Yi's boyfriend." Cheng Boyan added.

"... Oh." Xiang Xi was stunned again, although he knew the relationship between Lin He and Song Yi, he still shook his head when he suddenly heard "Song Yi's boyfriend".

If so...

Cheng Boyan's boyfriend?

Xiang Xi's...boyfriend?

"Going? You've seen it before, last time... not all of my birthday friends are here, just Chen Fatty and..." Cheng Boyan explained carefully.

"Okay." Xiang Xi nodded.

"Go?" Cheng Boyan looked at him.

"Well, let's go," Xiang Xi smiled, "Singing after dinner?"

"...they said they were going to sing," Cheng Boyan said, "If you don't want to go, we won't go."

"Go, I don't want to go," Xiang Xi chuckled twice, took a box of milk from the back seat and drank it, "If you sing, do you sing?"

"Do you still remember this?" Cheng Boyan smiled, "Sing it if you want."

"Sing what?" Xiang Xi asked.

"Let's sing together." Cheng Boyan said.

"Chorus what..." Xiang Xi was interrupted by Cheng Boyan before he could finish his question.

"The birds on the tree are in pairs..." Cheng Boyan sang while pinching his voice, and added, "That's it, the husband and wife return home."
