Chapter 17 Chongqing and the Heat

Joan played in his hometown for many days, but he didn't want to leave.Joan himself didn't want to go back, and his parents didn't urge him, so he planned to stay here until it was time to work.

Everyone in the studio called to ask Cheng Xu if he could go. Cheng Xu originally wanted to turn down the job, but one day he called and let Qiao An hear.Qiao An thought that if he went to Chongqing with Cheng Xu, he could spend a few days in Chongqing, so he asked Cheng Xu to take him there.

"I will be very busy after I go to Chongqing, so I can only take you to the studio to play."

Qiao An thought it would be interesting to stay with Cheng Xu, so she didn't care.So Joan tidied up the house and prepared to leave with a bunch of photos and the bag when he came.

Although Cheng Xu's mother was reluctant to leave Qiao An, she didn't keep her too much. She knew that Qiao An had her own affairs and her own life.

Cheng Xu and Qiao An woke up very early, because it would take six or seven hours to drive to Chongqing from here.Looking at the figures of Cheng Xu's parents and the group of uncles and aunts in the rearview mirror, Qiao An felt for the first time that parting would be really sad.

It was still the same way as when he came here, but Qiao An changed his impression of his hometown after nearly ten days.For the first time, he felt that it would be fun to play with a bunch of strangers.

"Brother Xu, I really want to be here all the time."

"Go back here to take care of yourselves when you are old! But this place is not suitable for young people."

"why?"

"Because time goes too slowly here, but it's hard for you to stop."

Qiao An understood what Cheng Xu meant, but he felt that this reason would not convince him, he didn't like a fast-paced life.

"Brother Xu, can't you stop?"

Cheng Xu was silent for a while, and finally replied, "Yes."

"Where do you want to go after that?"

"North, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, I don't know."

Qiao An also hoped that Cheng Xu would not stay in the same place for the rest of his life, because he felt that Cheng Xu was talented and he could go further afield.

Joan felt as if everyone would just stop for a while.

"I can play with you when I come to Shanghai."

"Okay. Then go to Shanghai."

Qiao An couldn't tell how much promise there was in Cheng Xu's words, and always felt an inexplicable sadness.

"Why don't you go to Shanghai as soon as you graduate?"

"Stayed for one person."

"So stupid."

"Yeah, silly. Not anymore."

Qiao An thinks that Cheng Xu has always been excellent, and he doesn't know the relationship between Cheng Xu and his ex, but he thinks that if Cheng Xu's character puts love first, then he must love each other very much.Qiao An felt that this kind of love made him uncomfortable, so he stopped talking about this topic with Cheng Xu.

The car drove into the highway, and there were continuous mountains on both sides of the highway.Joan had already fallen asleep in the co-pilot.

When Qiao An woke up, the car was still driving on the highway, but the mountains on both sides were gone, and the field of vision became empty.The weather was fine, and the fields on both sides of the road were golden.

"When spring comes, you can see patches of rapeseed flowers."

"It feels beautiful."

"You can come back and have a look next spring."

Joan looked at the scenery outside the window, and there were mountains on both sides of the highway.

"Were you still there then?"

"I don't know." Cheng Xu has actually been considering going to a big city to find a full-time job recently.He wants to be a graphic designer, but he still has a long way to go.

Joan sighed: "It's good to know what you want. You will succeed in the future."

Joan fell into a drowsy sleep for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he was already off the highway.

"Did you get off the highway? Is it coming soon?"

"There is still a while. Are you hungry? Go to sleep for a while, and I will call you when we arrive."

"Not hungry. I haven't played in Chongqing yet, I want to see it."

"I can take you to play this afternoon and evening. Did you buy the ticket for the day after tomorrow?"

"I changed my booking one day later. I flew the next morning."

"Then I'll take you to the airport when you leave."

"No, I'll take a taxi there, and you'll have to drive back by yourself after you've sent me there. It's too troublesome."

"When my mother left, she gave me an order to send you to the airport."

Joan smiled: "Okay then!"

When the car drove into the urban area, Qiao An was not used to seeing high-rise buildings again.One or two o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time of the day, and there are very few people on the roadside.

Cheng Xu was driving along the edge of the Yangtze River, and Qiao An could just see the river.

"Brother Xu, do you think Shanghai can receive it if you throw a drift bottle in the Yangtze River?"

"Then let's get in touch with the drift bottle?"

"fool!"

Cheng Xu parked the car in the garage, and as soon as he opened the door, Qiao An felt the heat of the weather.After staying in the mountains for a long time, I almost forgot that summer is so hot.

Cheng Xu took out a large bag from the trunk: "Go first, it's too hot outside." Qiao An followed Cheng Xu into the elevator.

As soon as Cheng Xu entered the door, he put his bag on the sofa and turned on the air conditioner.The room was not too hot with the curtains drawn.

Qiao An rested on the sofa, and Cheng Xu sat next to him, rubbing Qiao An's hair.

"Your hair should be cut, it's too long, it always blocks your eyes."

"Cut it when you get back. Cut it to the same size as yours, and it won't be disturbed by strong winds."

"Forget it, your current hairstyle suits you quite well. If you want to eat, I'll order a takeaway first."

"Want to eat what you made."

"Aren't you afraid of starving to death?"

"Forget it, you order a closer one, I'm starving to death."

Cheng Xu lived in a small house with only one bedroom, and the decoration style was not the one Cheng Xu liked very much.Because the color is too bright, the tone is warm.

"Brother Xu, is this the house you rented?"

"Well, I rented it after graduation. It was rented for two years. It will expire soon." This is also the reason that prompted Cheng Xu to want to change cities.

Joan understood why the style and layout of the room were so warm.Qiao An felt that Cheng Xu's aesthetics would not be so ugly.

Cheng Xu's meal was delivered quickly, and Cheng Xu specially ordered a non-spicy restaurant.Joan looked really hungry and ate more than usual.

After eating, Qiao An just sat in a chair in a daze, and even Qiao An didn't notice that Cheng Xu went to throw away takeaway after eating.

Cheng Xu came back and snapped his fingers in Qiao An's ear: "What are you thinking?"

When Joan came back to his senses, he suddenly lost his train of thought and forgot what he was thinking just now. His mind became more and more useless.

"forget……"

"Want to go out to play?"

"It's so hot... let's go play together tonight!"

Joan fell asleep on the sofa in the afternoon, and found herself lying on the bed when she woke up.Cheng Xu was sitting on the chair in front of the bed, looking at the computer, doing something that seemed to be related to design, but Qiao An didn't quite understand.

"Brother Xu, aren't you sleepy?"

"It's because you can sleep too much. I just slept for a while."

Joan picked up the phone and saw that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Qiao An stretched, got up, leaned on the back of the chair behind Cheng Xu and asked, "What are you painting?"

"I just had a dream and wanted to paint that feeling."

"What do you feel?"

"I can't tell." Qiao An looked at Cheng Xu's interface. Although he couldn't understand it, what he could probably understand was that the picture was chaotic, but the expression was not completely chaotic.

Qiao An feels that Cheng Xu sometimes thinks a lot, and Cheng Xu may still be obsessed with his ex at this time.

Cheng Xu saved the file and turned off the computer.

"Let's go, let's go to the supermarket to buy vegetables together. Don't you want to eat the food I cooked?"

Although it was past four o'clock, the sun outside was still very strong. When going out, Cheng Xu put on a peaked cap for Qiao An, and he also wore a similar one.

Qiao An felt that the peaked cap has a special magical function, which is to make a person cool instantly, such as Cheng Xu in front of him.

It was so hot outside that people were melting, because the supermarket was very close, Cheng Xu didn't drive.

After passing through an underground passage is the entrance to the supermarket.Qiao An rarely has the opportunity to go shopping, so he doesn't know how to do it, but Cheng Xu seems to be very good at living.

Qiao An followed Cheng Xu wondering why Cheng Xu broke up with his ex.Cheng Xu is a good-looking man who lives at home and is good at taking pictures. After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

"What are you thinking? You didn't even listen to me."

Joan came back to his senses: "Huh? Oh, nothing! What's the matter?"

"Do you want to buy anything else? The vegetables are ready."

Only then did Qiao An realize that Cheng Xu had already taken a lot of dishes.

"No, let's go back."

"it is good."

The two of them met Cheng Xu's neighbor in the elevator with a pile of vegetables.

The man is in a suit and looks like he just got off work.

"Cheng Xu, are you back? How long are you going to stay this time?"

"Ten days."

Joan knew the man was looking at him, but he really didn't know what to say.But luckily the man didn't bring the topic up to him, so he asked Cheng Xu a few words and got off the elevator.

The man opened the door, turned his head and said to Cheng Xu: "The younger brother next to me is quite cute."

Cheng Xu glanced at the man, didn't say anything, and pushed Qiao An into the room.Joan felt that there was always something in that man's words, but he didn't bother to think about it.

Cheng Xu cooked a large table of meals at night, and Qiao An read it all over.

"Why are you wasting so much! The two of us can't finish it."

"You can't stay here for a few nights, don't you have a lot to eat?"

Joan thought that when he was about to start school, his parents would cook him a big table of delicious food, and then complained to him after he left that he was going to throw up after eating the leftovers.

Joan compared three and said: "Including tonight, there are three more nights. If you really don't want to part with me, I can stay for a few more days."

"Then you can stay for a few more days!"

Qiao An simply wanted to tease Cheng Xu, but Cheng Xu's answer made him a little confused about how to reply.

"It's been changed once, it's a waste of money."

"You really have no heart."

Joan sighed: "Eat quickly! I will take me out to play later."

Cheng Xu originally wanted to take Qiao An to see the night scene, but the two chatted and ate, and Qiao An lost energy after eating.

It happened that the house Cheng Xu rented was by the river, so Cheng Xu had no choice but to take Qiao An for a walk along the river.

This was the coolest time of the day, and many people were walking their dogs by the river, Qiao An pulled Cheng Xu's clothes, afraid that any disobedient dog would rush towards him.

On the riverside, you can see the tall buildings on the opposite bank and the Jialing River reflecting the lights.There are still many vendors selling some trinkets by the river. Cheng Xu bought a glowing rabbit ear and put it on Qiao An's hair that was going to cover her eyes.

Joan felt that wearing the glowing headband would kill him, so he hurriedly took it off.Before Qiao An had time to educate Cheng Xu, he heard a dog barking, followed by a corgi licking his leg.

Qiao An's scalp felt numb all of a sudden, and she ran behind Cheng Xu.Corgi was still chasing and barking after Joan, and the owner of Corgi couldn't control the dog chasing Joan in circles even though he pulled the leash.Joan is really a dog sucker, and the dogs he meets always like to lean on him.Corgi's owner hurried over and hugged Corgi.

"I'm sorry, jumping too excited."

Joan stammered back: "No...it doesn't matter."

Cheng Xu was wearing a mask, and the dog owner looked up and saw that the person in front of him was Cheng Xu.

"Cheng Xu! When did you come back?"

"Just got back today."

The woman pointed at Qiao An and asked, "Xiao Nuo, how long has it been since you took a walk with Xiao Xu? I just said why I'm so excited about dancing today, I can't hold it back."

"Xiao Nuo?"

The woman knew that she had admitted the wrong person and apologized quickly.

Joan thought maybe he was wearing a mask and holding a glowing headband to make the people in front of him think he was a girl.Xiao Nuo should be Cheng Xu's ex-girlfriend.

"It's okay, many people admit it wrong." The person who recognized him as a girl didn't know the big sister holding a dog in front of her.

The woman probably felt that it would be more embarrassing to stay any longer, so she said, "I'm going to continue walking the dog, you guys continue. Bye." After finishing speaking, she quickly walked away with the dog in her arms.

"There are quite a lot of people who know you!"

"The ex likes to make friends very much. He likes to dance very much, and he got acquainted with this sister after a long time."

"Oh." Qiao An suddenly felt that Cheng Xu was boring, and it was hot outside, even the wind from the river was hot, so he wanted to go back, so as not to encounter an acquaintance again and mistook him.

Cheng Xu also brought a camera, but it hasn't been used yet.But Qiao An wanted to go back after he came out for a while, and he expected it.

"Your body that gets tired after a while really needs to be practiced. Your body will get worse and worse after sitting in front of the computer every day."

Qiao An felt that Cheng Xu didn't bring him out to play with him at all, but wanted a model for taking pictures.

"Be honest, did you bring me out just to take pictures."

Cheng Xu put his hand on Qiao An's shoulder, and said in a helpless tone, "Yes, come with me! Go take pictures."

Qiao An felt that Cheng Xu had absolutely no desire to survive.Qiao An followed Cheng Xu to the bridge. Qiao An had a lot of people, and many of them came here to take pictures on the street.

You can see the river view clearly from the bridge, and occasionally there will be cruise ships passing by at night. The lights on the boat are very bright, reflecting the river water.

The two went home after playing outside for about two hours. Even though it was night outside, it was still very hot. Joan missed the cool breeze and fireflies in his hometown very much.

Qiao An's hair was drooping wet after taking a shower, covering her eyes, Cheng Xu pulled Qiao An's hair to the sides.Qiao An showed her forehead and eyes, Cheng Xu felt that Qiao An's eyes were well formed, it seemed that Qiao An always looked very innocent, such as now.

Cheng Xu put down his hands, turned around and went to take a shower.

After Cheng Xu took a shower, Qiao An lay on the sofa and played mobile games.

"Watching TV?"

"Anything to see?"

"do not know."

Cheng Xu turned on the TV and searched for movies, and then randomly clicked on a movie with a high score.

After Qiao An finished playing a game, Cheng Xu clicked the play button. Qiao An looked up and found that Cheng Xu played "Broken Blue Bridge".

"Haven't you seen the movie?"

Cheng Xu shook his head: "Does it look good?"

"It's pretty good. It's about love." Qiao An hesitated for a while, but still didn't tell the ending of the story. Although the ending of the movie was tragic, it was still pretty good.

At the end of the movie, when the heroine died, Qiao An didn't hold back and accidentally cried.For fear of being discovered by Cheng Xu, she never dared to cry loudly.Then he saw Cheng Xu wiping his tears with a tissue.Qiao An was annoyed that Cheng Xu saw him cry because he watched a movie.

"The hostess is too inferior."

"Actually, if a person likes you, he will like your past as well."

Qiao An suddenly found that he, a solo mother, was discussing love with a person who had an ex and a crush, and felt very boring.

"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep. I'll just sleep on the sofa."

"Have you ever slept in the same bed as me?"

Qiao An just felt that Cheng Xu and his ex used to live together in that room, and it would be somewhat strange for him to sleep on that bed with Cheng Xu.Even socialist fraternity is strange.But Qiao An didn't talk about it with Cheng Xu, because it was even weirder to talk about it.

In the afternoon, it can be counted if it is not his own wish, but Joan still minds.

"I'll just sleep here, the sofa sleeps soundly."

After speaking, Joan lay down on the sofa.Cheng Xu looked at Qiao An, not knowing what Qiao An was thinking.Qiao An seemed to be asleep. Cheng Xu wanted to hug Qiao An to the bed, but just as soon as he met Qiao An, Qiao An opened his eyes and looked at him. His eyes were watery and he had an aggrieved expression.

Cheng Xu poked Qiao An's nose and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Stop fooling me." Qiao An's voice was low, but Cheng Xu heard it.Cheng Xu withdrew his hand, went into the room and took a blanket to cover Qiao An. After a while, Qiao An's breathing became steady.Cheng Xu turned off the light, watched Qiao An in the dark for a long time before going back to sleep.

The next day, the two still woke up very early, because Cheng Xu had to rush to the studio, which was a bit far from where they lived, and there might be traffic jams on the road if they got up late.

"Brother Xu, am I artistic?"

Joan himself didn't bring a few sets of clothes, this one was carefully matched by him and looked the most artistic.

"Why do you want to be so literary?"

"Shouldn't going to the studio fit in perfectly?"

"The people inside are very sloppy, you can wear whatever you want."

As Cheng Xu said, he took out a hat for Qiao An to put on, just enough to press Qiao An's long hair into the hat.

Even though they got up very early, there was still a traffic jam on the road. Sure enough, no matter which city they were in, they couldn't avoid the problem of morning rush hour traffic jams.

"Brother Xu, what is your job this time?"

"To design a logo for a brand, the brand asked to talk offline, and I don't know the specifics."

The two arrived at the studio slowly, fortunately they got up early and were not late.Joan felt that there were people looking at him with strange eyes along the way.

"Hello Brother Cheng!"

The employees of several studios passing by greeted Cheng Xu.Qiao An also doesn't understand why Cheng Xu can be called brother at a young age, but he is always regarded as a girl at a young age.

Cheng Xu asked Qiao An to sit and wait for him at the resting place.Joan was bored, so he had to play with his mobile phone.

Cheng Xu went to the supervisor's office, and the supervisor handed over the list information to Cheng Xu.

"They said they could come at ten o'clock. The attitude over there is very good, and the order should be easy to make."

Cheng Xu opened the profile, and saw that his client this time is Luye. Luye is an original brand, mainly in the field of beauty makeup, and it has only been established for a few years.

"Doesn't Green Field have a logo?"

The supervisor looked up a little surprised: "Really? Are they going to change it? They won't say anything over there, they are paid a lot of money, and they just say they want to talk face to face."

"I can't take this order."

The supervisor was even more surprised, because Cheng Xu basically never rejected the list: "Why can't you accept it? We signed it, and the other party specified that you should come, and we don't know why the other party knows that you are a non-staff member of our studio."

"Because Green Field was founded by me and my predecessor."

The supervisor always thought that Cheng Xu was amazing, but he didn't expect Cheng Xu to be so powerful, and he admired Cheng Xu even more.

"Then why don't I ask a few younger sisters to top it up first? The form has been signed, and we can't afford to pay for breach of contract."

Although Cheng Xu didn't want to see that person, but when he thought about asking a few girls to go for him, he still felt that he had gone. After all, he had agreed to it before.
