??Duan Yuan turned off the computer and walked out of the balcony. The coldness in the middle of the night was overwhelming, and he could wake people up in an instant.

??The cold air poured into the throat from the nasal cavity, and lead singer Duan's throat was sensitive and couldn't bear the stimulation.After coughing a few times in a muffled voice, he opened his mouth to remind his forgetful manager:

?? "Who said that Dr. Qi lives in seclusion and has a weird temper? Are you sure you want to invite someone?"

"If the time comes to make him angry and regret not helping me, you will take responsibility?"

?? The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and hung up the phone with a snap.

?? Well, it seems that I can't bear that responsibility.

?? Beijing at three o'clock in the morning, the whole city is still sleeping soundly, the streets are silent, only the traffic lights are flickering lonely.

?? After that, Cao Min didn't call again, probably because he was thinking about countermeasures.The top Seeker group on WeChat is still active, where two night owls, Xiao P and Kira, are discussing where to go after the New Year, and more than 100 messages have been posted non-stop.

??Duan Yu'an roughly flipped through the chat records of the two people. They were talking about extreme sports such as skydiving or deep diving. The insolent youthful atmosphere can be felt across the screen.

??He turned off the screen, looked at the bright crescent moon in the sky, and thought of a kid of the same age.

??The child is at home alone...what are you doing?

??Do you feel lonely?

??…

?? At noon the next day, when Qi Le received a call from Duan Yu'an, he was transplanting cucumber seedlings in the field.January in Guangdong does not look like winter at all. The sun is shining brightly and the temperature is approaching [-] degrees, which is unbearably hot.

??Qi Le was wearing a dark gray short sleeve. The sleeves were pulled up to the shoulders, revealing his white arms, and the muscle lines were faintly visible as he moved.

?? It stands to reason that when the new year is approaching, everyone has gone to visit relatives and friends, and there is basically no time to care about the things in the ground. If it rots, it will rot.In addition, Shiwei Town was originally a fishing village, and there were not many families working on the shore.

?? As a result, the vegetable field under Qi Le's feet became the only place in the town where green vegetables were still growing.

?? He skillfully took the melon seedlings out of the seedling pots, and then carefully planted them in the vegetable field, with gentle and cautious movements, as if what he was holding in his hands was not a melon seedling, but a fragile treasure.

?? Before transplanting a few plants, the mobile phone that was put aside rang.

??Qi Le glanced at the unfamiliar caller ID, took off his muddy cotton gloves, and pressed the hands-free button: "Hello, who is it?"

?? Duan Yu'an's steady voice came: "It's me."

?? "Mr. Duan?"

??Qi Le pinched his knuckles and asked, "What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

??His voice is not loud, and his tone is very flat, like sinking into stagnant water, without emotion, which is too incongruous with his 20-year-old age.

??Duan Yu'an could imagine Qi Le's appearance when he said this through the phone. He sighed lightly, wanting to get in touch with the other party, so he laughed in a low voice and said, "Oh, why are you still shouting like this?" Shengfen, let you call brother..."

??Qi Le frowned and interrupted him: "If there is nothing important, I will hang up."

??Duan Yuan was forced by him to change the subject: "Don't hang up...something is up."

?? "I changed my mind."

?? A sentence without beginning or end, Qi Le frowned subconsciously after listening to it. He thought that Duan Yu'an's change of mind meant that he would die. up to you."

?? There are many people who have signed a contract and then regretted it. Duan Yuan is not the first, nor will he be the last.I just don't know why Qi Le is in a bad mood.

?? Probably because this day is really too hot.

??he thinks.

??The person on the other end of the phone was taken aback by Qi Le's answer, and asked, "Really?"

??Qi Le turned the phone back to receiver mode and stuck it to the side of his face. He knelt down and continued to fiddle with those cucumber seedlings.

?? "Well, it's your business anyway."

?? Dead pull down.

?? Duan Yuan's deep laughter came from next to his ear: "Alright then, see you tonight."

?? "?"

??Qi Le Yiguamiao's hands trembled, almost breaking the soil: "See you tonight?"

?? Duan Yuan replied slowly: "That's right. I've started to feel uncomfortable recently. I vomited whatever I ate, so I want to go to your place early."

?? "Just tonight."

??Qi Le's tone finally changed: "Are you coming over tonight?"

??So... change your mind?

?? Hearing Qi Le's tone, Duan Yu'an thought that he was going to repent, so he quickly blocked the way out: "I've already booked the plane ticket just now, so you can do whatever you want with me."

?? "The ticket is non-refundable."

?? "First class is precious."

??Qi Le: "..."

?? Duan Yuan: "I'm really, really uncomfortable, Dr. Qi."

?? He has a coquettish tone in the latter sentence, which is low and soft. If Seeker fans hear it, he will probably die on the spot.

??A emperor's acting like a baby is rare in a hundred years.

??Qi Le moved his mouth, and the uneasiness in his heart just a moment ago disappeared. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sun above his head, and said with a wooden face: "Okay, what time will we arrive?"

??Unexpectedly, the other party would ask about the time. Duan Yuan on the other end of the phone hurriedly opened the booking page and chose a flight time at random: "Um... 7 o'clock in the evening."

??Qi Le said "hmm" and said, "Then I'll wait for you at home."

??The date of moving was suddenly brought forward by ten days. After Qi Le finished planting the remaining cucumber seedlings, the first thing he did when he got home was to go upstairs and tidy up the room.

?? In fact, there is nothing to charge, even though the house has three floors.But the third floor was locked by my grandfather because of an accident a few years ago.On the first floor, there is too much humidity and musty smell, making it difficult to live in.Although there are five rooms on the second floor, one of them is dedicated to grandpa's spirit tablet, and the other two are full of sundries.

??Only the two rooms at the east end can live.

??Qi Le simply cleaned up, laid out new bedding, prepared a pair of clean slippers and placed them by the bathroom door.

??Considering that patients with anorexia are often accompanied by insomnia, he who had already quit went back, lit a root of tranquilizing incense, and put it on the bedside table.

??After doing all this, Qi Le, who had been busy all morning, felt a little hungry. He went down to the kitchen on the first floor, planning to get something to eat.

??Boil the noodles, raise the soup three times, add fresh free-range eggs, tomatoes, and finally garnish with shallots.In just a few minutes, a simple bowl of egg noodles in clear soup is ready.

?? Qi Le looked at the steaming noodles in the bowl, and added two spoonfuls of salt, three spoonfuls of sugar, a large spoonful of mature vinegar and fish sauce, each of which was a "lethal dose".

??The transparent noodle soup was mixed with these several seasonings, and turned into a dark dish, and it kept emitting a strange smell.Qi Le didn't even frown, and just started eating.

?? Looking at his expression, it seems that the salt and sweet and sour dew that was added just now never existed.

?? After filling his stomach, Qi Le returned to his room, took out a small book from the bookshelf, turned to the latest blank page, and wrote a few lines——

?? [20XX, January 1th. 】

??【Salty 2】

??【Sour 1】

??【Sweetness 0】

?? He finished writing, put down the pen, and stared at the last [0] word for a long time, until the sun sank to the horizon, before he came back to his senses.

??He got up and rubbed his numb shoulders and neck, threw himself on the bed, and pulled the quilt from head to toe.

??four years ago.

??Since the blow four years ago, my taste buds have begun to degenerate, and I lose one taste a year on average. If this continues, I won’t be able to taste any flavors in the end, right?

??Qi Le smiled wryly in his heart, turned over and closed his eyes.

??It wasn't cold, and his head was covered with a stuffy blanket, and his breathing gradually became heavy. Qi Le couldn't sleep well. He was half asleep and half awake, and had a dream.

?? In the dream, he returned to the age of 16, to the night when his father left home.

??The mother who has always been noble and dignified is no longer elegant.Her beautiful hair was disheveled, and one of the slippers on her feet was missing, and she was in a mess.She desperately pulled her father's suitcase, shouting hysterically: "You can't go."

?? "If you dare to leave, I will die for you!"

??Father's indifferent voice came from far away, like ice: "Don't threaten me with this. Mayfair, we're done."

??"Can not go back."

?? "No! It's impossible to end! How can I not go back!"

?? Qi Fei broke down and said: "Liu Beiqin, our 20-year relationship, how can we just say it's over?!"

?? "How can I not compare to that woman? Just because she is younger than me?"

?? Qi Le stood far away, watching this absurd farce, he really wanted to stop it, really wanted to shout: Dad, don't go.You look back, mom really didn't lie to you, she really will die for you to see.

?? But he can't make any sound.

?? He is like a puppet, unable to shout or move.He could only watch helplessly as his father shook off his mother's hand and walked out the door without looking back.

??Cold tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, dream and reality merged, Qi Le, who was on the verge of waking up, struggled for a while, trying to escape from this bottomless nightmare, but found that he couldn't open his eyes no matter what.

??Wake up.

??Wake up quickly.

?? He hinted to himself in his heart: If you don't wake up, it will be too late.

??…

?? At seven o'clock in the evening, Duan Yu'an appeared in Shiwei Town on time.

??There is a huge temperature difference between morning and evening at the seaside. After the sun sets, the cool sea breeze blows, and the temperature on the surface of the sea plunges, making it icy cold.

?? Duan Yu'an stood in the darkness and rang the doorbell several times, but he didn't wait for anyone to open the door, and he didn't answer the phone.

??The cold wind made his throat uncomfortable, and wearing a mask didn't help. He coughed twice, looked up at a room with lights on the second floor, and dialed Qi Le's number again.

?? Fortunately, the call was finally connected this time.

"Hello." Qi Le said.

?? His tone is always cold, without any emotion.But because he had just woken up, his voice was hoarse and full of laziness.

??Duan Yuan's cochlea was gently scratched by the "Hello" that was close at hand, and it didn't itch or hurt.

?? "Are you sleeping?" he asked.

?? There was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, like the friction between fabrics. After a while, Qi Le lazily said "um", and said, "I'm awake now."

?? As a lead singer and creator of a band, Duan Yuan not only has a sensitive throat, but also has a very sensitive ear.

??It is often possible to associate a complete picture with a simple melody.

??Qi Le's tired voice fell in his ears, and a sleepy-eyed boy unconsciously appeared in front of Duan Yu'an.

?? Eyebrows low, well-behaved.

?? think rua.

?? "..."

?? "Cough cough cough..."

??I don't know whether I was choked by my own thoughts or by the cold wind. Duan Yu'an blushed and coughed several times before saying seriously: "Come down and open the door when you wake up. I'm here."
