cloud and sun

The mosquito pack on Joan's hands and face looked particularly miserable after Joan returned.

"Why did you go there just now? How did you get bitten like this?"

"Auntie, there was a big dog chasing me just now, and we ran a long way."

"Is it a big yellow dog?"

Joan nodded wildly.

"A family just came next door at night, and the dog slipped out as soon as we got out of the car. The family chased after him but didn't come back, but they ran back by themselves after a while. Xiaoxu, you are not afraid of the dog, so please keep an eye on it."

"An'an ran ahead, but I told him to come to my side and he didn't dare."

"Look at what An'an has been like after spending a day with you. She's all dirty and has mosquito bags all over her body."

Qiao An subconsciously glanced at her clothes, they were a little dirty.Cheng Xu also glanced at Qiao An's clothes, not understanding how Qiao An could get so dirty.

"Why do you still get bitten by mosquitoes when you wear long sleeves, and your hands are covered with mosquito bags?"

Cheng Xu's question was fatal. Qiao An found that he had just forgotten that he was wearing long sleeves, and he was just feeding the mosquitoes so abruptly.

"I forgot to wear your clothes..."

The group of uncles and aunts also came back from their walks one after another. Seeing the mosquito bag on Joan's face, they also said that there were too many mosquitoes.

When Cheng Xu's mother saw that everyone was back, she moved the medicinal materials she picked in the morning to the table, and then took out the sewing kit that she hadn't used for a long time.Qiao An sat next to Cheng Xu's mother, ready to give it a try.Cheng Xu helped Qiao An.

The cloth Cheng Xu's mother brought out was colorful, but she chose black.Cheng Xu's mother is not a good teacher, and Qiao An only figured out when she was sitting in the VIP seat that she sewed the cloth into a bag with a mouth, then put the herbs in it, and finally sealed the mouth.

"It's as simple as making dumplings, just look at it."

The uncles and aunts present might have been able to, but Qiao An and Cheng Xu were all dumbfounded.

Cheng Xu's mother thought it was troublesome, so she made a sachet that directly sealed her mouth.In the end, it became an angular shape.Qiao An was still fiddling with the cloth, but Cheng Xu's mother had already sewed it up and embroidered the word "Fu" on one side.Cheng Xu's mother sewed a rope for the sachet, and hung it around Qiao An's neck.

"Auntie, when did you embroider a word?"

"When you were picking herbs with Xiaoxu just now."

After cutting for a while, Joan finally cut out a piece of round cloth.

When Cheng Xu's mother saw the cloth Qiao An cut, she asked, "Why did you cut the cloth into a circle? I just said that you two have been making this cloth here for a long time."

"Didn't Auntie make dumplings like you said?"

"Well... then you can continue to make it, it's not bad, it's quite round."

Qiao An also imitated Cheng Xu's mother to embroider on the cloth.Qiao An didn't know how to do it at all, so he fiddled around for a long time, and managed to come up with the word "Joe".Reluctantly means that if you don't know it's a "Joe", it doesn't count as a word.But if you know it's a "Joe," you can barely make it out.

Joan originally wanted to embroider the word "An", but the "Joe" just now exhausted his energy, so he sewed an "A", which really saved a lot of trouble.

Qiao An put a little herb on the cloth according to the ratio Cheng Xu's mother said, and then sewed the cloth together like making dumplings.Finally made a very ugly semicircle.It's hard to say how ugly Qiao An is, anyway, he is so ugly that he feels disgusted.

"Auntie, help me put on a rope! I feel like everything will come out if I get it inside."

Cheng Xu's mother couldn't figure out what to do with the ugly thing that Qiao An sewed, and finally put a rope on one end.

"Xiaoxu, you watched An An do this, how can you do it like this?"

"I think it's pretty pretty."

"Oh. That's good."

Qiao An looked at the ugly thing he had made, and felt that he would be ashamed to take it out after making it like this, but he was not willing to throw it away. Hearing Cheng Xu said it was pretty, his eyes lit up.

"Brother Xu, here it is for you!" Qiao An said in a cheerful and innocent tone, which was his usual tone that no one would refuse.Although he could feel Cheng Xu's hesitation, fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and put it on Cheng Xu's neck in time.

What Cheng Xu wanted to say, Qiao An quickly said, "As long as you like it!"

Cheng Xu didn't speak anymore, but nodded reluctantly.He could see that he was ugly, and what he said just now couldn't bear to spoil Joan's enthusiasm.With Joan's happy eyes, he couldn't bear to tell Joan the truth, and in the end he endured everything.

Qiao An played at Cheng Xu's house until very late before returning home to take a shower.After taking a shower, I took a coil of mosquito coils to the rooftop.Cheng Xu was also lying on the top floor looking at the stars.

Qiao An looked at Cheng Xu not far away, very quiet, that feeling reminded Qiao An of how he saw Cheng Xu on the first day he came here.

Qiao An walked in, only to find that Cheng Xu didn't look at the stars at all, but lay down and listened to music, with his eyes closed, he didn't seem to be asleep but was thinking about something.

Cheng Xu had heard Qiao An's footsteps going upstairs.After Qiao An put down the mosquito coil, he saw Cheng Xu sitting up beside him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"By the way, I forgot to give you the photos. I put them in a box next to the camera in my room. They are all developed photos. Go and get them."

Qiao An thought that Cheng Xu must have recalled some unpleasant things just now, and now his speech is a little strange.

Qiao An quickly got the box where Cheng Xu put the photo.Cheng Xu took the box and took out the top stack of photos. Qiao An saw that there were many photos inside by the light, but Cheng Xu didn't show him.

Joan also understands that everyone has secrets, so he didn't say much.

"Brother Xu, why didn't you wear the sachet I made just now?"

"I took it off in the shower and forgot to put it on. But no mosquitoes bit me."

Joan took the pile of photos and began to admire them one by one.

"These are all the pictures I've taken since I went to college."

Qiao An picked up a photo and asked Cheng Xu when it was taken.In the photo, his grandma is wearing a cheongsam, and his grandfather is wearing a Chinese tunic suit, which has the taste of that era.

"Three years ago! At that time, your grandparents were going to Hangzhou by high-speed train, and then went to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year with you. When passing by Chongqing, the two of them happened to invite me to dinner. After dinner, I took them to a studio where I was intern at that time. Playing in it, they filmed it in there. The clothes and the sets are all there."

"I really like the style of this photo."

Cheng Xu smiled, and his voice was a little lonely: "I didn't take this photo."

"Who shot that?"

"A classmate."

Sometimes Cheng Xu wondered if Qiao An really didn't understand photography. He was able to accurately find a few photos that were not taken by him in the pile of photos, and praised them one by one.

One of them is a group photo of Cheng Xu and his grandparents.I don't know which scenic spot it was shot in, but it seems that the three of them are very close.

"Who took this photo?"

"It was taken by my brother. A group photo taken when we went to play together."

"You four have played together?"

"My sister-in-law is also there. It's the mountain next to it. We can open a homestay because there is a developed scenic spot next to it, so we will go there once in a while. It's half price for locals, so it's very cheap."

"Yes, I haven't been to the nearby scenic spots."

"If you want to play, I can take you there, but most of the time I'm climbing mountains."

"sure."

Joan put away the photos and put them in his room.He took a blanket and went up in the room, and brought his notebook with him.

Joan took a stool and put the notebook in front of it.

"Want to watch a show together?"

Cheng Xu smiled at Qiao An: "Let it go."

Qiao An didn't understand why Cheng Xu was so gentle at this moment.But if a handsome person smiles gently, it will make people feel that the wind is gentle, the moonlight is warm, and the night is moving.

Seeing that Qiao An was a little dazed, Cheng Xu patted Qiao An's head lightly.

"Why are you in a daze, hurry up."

Joan muttered while turning on the computer: "Just now I thought you were gentle. How about we watch a horror movie?"

Cheng Xu suddenly thought of Qiao An being scared by the dog, so he said, "Okay. I like watching horror movies."

"This "Return of the Clown" seems to have a pretty high score."

Cheng Xu really didn't like this kind of scary atmosphere, but he wasn't afraid.He turned around and glanced at Joan, who covered his eyes with his hands and was watching.Seeing the clown came out, Joan quickly covered his eyes with his hands.

"Just cover the movie for a while and you'll finish watching it. This movie is too boring, let's change to another one." On the one hand, Cheng Xu really felt bored, but on the other hand, he also felt that Qiao An was afraid that there was no need for him to watch it again.To be afraid of this kind of thing is to be afraid, and the more you watch it, the more you will become more and more afraid, it is unnecessary.

Qiao An felt that Cheng Xu was laughing at him, so she said, "This is interesting. After reading this, I will change it, and I have read half of it."

Cheng Xu felt helpless looking at Qiao An's frightened and reluctant expression.

"Sit over here, I'll help you block it."

Joan moved the chair reluctantly.

Whenever the clown came out, Cheng Xu would cover Qiao An's eyes with his hands.He waited for the clown to leave before putting his hand down.

"I'm still afraid, why are you so stupid?"

Qiao An's thoughts were actually very simple. According to the usual practice, generally strong men like Cheng Xu are afraid of ghosts, he just wanted to see Cheng Xu's frightened appearance.

In the end, Joan tortured himself for more than two hours to finish watching the movie.After watching Qiao An, I searched for Crayon Shin-chan to purify my soul.

"Are you going to sleep here today?"

Joan was too lazy to move, so he nodded.

I'm going to get a tent in case it rains again tonight.

"It's troublesome to set up a tent, anyway, go back to the house when it rains, don't be so troublesome."

Cheng Xu himself put up a tent because of Qiao An, and he himself had the same idea as Qiao An, so he didn't bother to move in the end.

The computer ran out of battery within a few episodes of Crayon Shin-chan, so Qiao An turned off the computer and lay down next to Cheng Xu.In fact, the reclining chairs are narrow, so it is inevitable that they will be crowded, but the roof is windy and not hot.

"The moon is full."

Cheng Xu often couldn't keep up with Qiao An's wandering thoughts.

Cheng Xu looked up at the sky, saying that the moon and stars are rare, but actually there are still many stars.

Qiao An took a photo of Zhang Chengxu looking up with her mobile phone and showed it to Chengxu.

"You have stars in your eyes."

Qiao An took the picture very quickly, a little out of focus, Cheng Xu smiled and said, "Did I see the Milky Way in my eyes?"

"No. If you open your eyes a little wider, maybe the Milky Way is too big."

Cheng Xu smiled: "Crazy!"

"Communicate with patients."

Qiao An lay down and leaned her head on Cheng Xu's shoulder: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, why do you think your memory is so amazing?"

"What memories?"

"It's just a childhood memory. I can't remember what we played together when we were young, but it seems that goodbye is still very kind."

"Have you forgotten how awkward it was when we first met?"

Qiao An looked up at Cheng Xu: "Because that's not the real you!" Qiao An's tone was very sure, and Cheng Xu thought maybe Qiao An really had to try hard to understand him.

"Brother Xu, when you first met me, was your attitude towards strangers? Gentle but with a distance."

Cheng Xu sighed, what Qiao An said was almost the same, but he didn't know Qiao An well at that time, he thought that Qiao An was not like when he was a child.But Cheng Xu now finds that Qiao An is the one who hasn't changed the most.

"Brother Xu, why didn't you come to see me when I came back before? It might be more interesting if we got to know each other earlier."

"Because you gave me the feeling that you didn't belong here."

"what about now?"

"It doesn't belong here either, but you're not afraid anymore."

Qiao An didn't understand the meaning of Cheng Xu's words, he was never afraid of anything.

"I don't want to go back."

"You're just avoiding work, but you don't really like it here."

Joan just complained.

"Oh, it's so difficult! Why are you called Cheng Xu? I feel anxious when I see you now."

"Then don't read it." Cheng Xu covered Qiao An's eyes with his hands.

"You're blocking my star."

"Go to sleep, it's in the dream."

"What if I can't dream?"

Cheng Xu's voice was also tinged with tiredness: "Go to sleep, don't be poor."

Qiao An took Cheng Xu's hand away and looked at Cheng Xu: "Just one request, sing me a song."

"What song is it?"

"Will Mercury be?"

"it is good."

"Fascinated by your eyes, there are traces of the Milky Way..."

Qiao An originally wanted to talk about why God gave Cheng Xu a good face and at the same time made him full of artistic talents, singing so beautifully.

Cheng Xu covered his mouth.

"How far can I get into your heart, how long can I get together with you..."

Qiao An fell asleep quickly, and Qiao An fell asleep after Cheng Xu sang a song.Cheng Xu looked at Qiao An's sleeping face, a little cute.It seems that time is not as ruthless as he imagined, at least the person he was waiting for when he was young is still there and hasn't changed.
