early morning twilight

"Brother Jin, don't look at this frog shop in an alley. If I didn't know the proprietress well and asked her to reserve a table, we would be blocked all the way, and I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to eat at eleven or twelve o'clock!"

Bai Xiaoye sat down on the plastic stool without hesitation, and threw the gauze and bag on the other stool. While sketching on the menu, he introduced it to Jin Zhongshan with Trump.

"The frogs in this restaurant are very clean. Anyone who is so particular about Yege loves to eat here! Sprinkle chili oil on the meat, and then sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions and coriander. Oh, don't put it down! Brother Jin, come here How many catties? I have to do three catties by myself!"

The environment of the small shop in the alley awaiting demolition is really worrying.

Jin Chongshan was too tall, he couldn't even stretch his legs for a small stool and a small table.

But there was only the last table left, and there were dozens of people waiting outside while eating melon seeds.

"How much weight does Siye usually weigh?"

"Hahaha Brother Jin, why do you always look at Brother Ye?"

There were two bottles of Weiyi on the table, and it was Bai Xiaoye who asked Jin Chongshan what to drink, and Jin Chongshan asked Si Ye what he ordered here.

"Brother Ye, I can't eat it. I only eat two or three at a time."

"Then two or three."

Bai Xiaoye's eyes widened, "Two or three catties are only one catty, Brother Jin, you won't be able to eat less than four catties!"

Jin Chongshan wasn't hungry at all, so Bai Xiao also waved at the proprietress: "Beauty, seven catties, slightly spicy!"

"Yo, the taste is bland?"

"Brother Ye's friend is from the north, so he can't eat spicy food!"

The proprietress immediately looked at Jin Zhongshan, "Brother Ye's friend?"

Jin Chongshan nodded lightly, "Hello."

"Brother Ye's friend is as handsome as Brother Ye, okay, I'll make you some hot pot!"

It took a lot of time to kill and dissect the frog, so Bai Xiao just talked nonsense with Jin Chongshan.

"We don't know about this store, Brother Ye told us about it."

"But Brother Ye is too wicked, guess what day he let us eat?"

Jin Chongshan shook his head.

"It's Valentine's Day this year!" Bai Xiao also looked hurt, "I had just joined the job, and Brother Ye had already gone to Japan. On the day of the holiday, everyone asked Brother Ye to treat guests to dinner. Some people said that most of us were bachelors. Son, there is no place to spend Valentine's Day, so I pester the boss for a treat."

Jin Chongshan frowned slightly.

"Brother Ye really transferred the money, please let us eat this frog. Hey, it's really delicious, Brother Ye, you really don't lie to me."

"But we all finished eating, and the video was sent to Brother Ye, so he showed us a picture. Oops, I'm so pissed off!"

Jin Chongshan couldn't think of any virtue that Si Ye lacked, "What picture?"

Bai Xiao also nodded, "Just this one, quack quack, lonely and widowed!"

The picture is a frog, crying lonely and widowed.

Jin Zhongshan: "..."

Bai Xiao also laughed loudly: "Isn't it very wicked!"

Jin Chongshan couldn't laugh.

This year's February [-]th, if he hadn't broken up with Si Ye, it would be the first Valentine's Day they spent together.

"He was joking." After a moment of silence, Jin Chongshan said.

"Of course it's a joke." Bai Xiao also looked at Jin Chongshan in surprise, "Brother Jin, you are so serious, are you angry because he didn't eat with us?"

"No." After finishing speaking, Jin Zhongshan added: "No."

Bai Xiaoye had a big heart, "It's okay, Brother Ye invited you for today's meal, I'll ask him to pay the bill. I should have given you the money, but you didn't accept it, so I can only ask you to eat more frogs. Quack quack, quack quack, Lonely and widowed—by the way, Brother Jin, you are lonely and widowed, bah, are you single?"

Jin Chongshan didn't answer, but took a sip of Weiyi.

"Sorry, I'm just a gossip, anyway, I'm lonely." Bai Xiaoye excused Si Ye again, "Brother Ye really had a social event today, I just saw in the group that he and Sister Xing are going to have dinner with Mr. Qiao. Then He is a big customer, and he takes special care of our wild brother..."

Jin Chongshan paused while holding the bottle.

"Where did they eat?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, it must be a five-star hotel. Joe doesn't like to eat fly restaurants like ours. Tsk, I missed a lot of delicious food..."

Jin Chongshan changed his previous indifference, "Ask Sister Xing."

Bai Xiao also froze for a moment, and became nervous when Jin Zhongshan watched, "Oh good."

Five minutes later, Bai Xiao also reported a location.

The seven-pound frog was finally served, the red oil was still boiling, and the top layer was covered with peppers.

Bai Xiaoye salivated when he saw it.

"Come on Brother Jin, look at it like this, but it's actually not spicy!"

Jin Chongshan got up, paid the bill, and ordered the signature grilled pork belly and rabbit's head on the menu to Bai Xiaoye.

Bai Xiao was also stunned, "No, Brother Jin, why did you leave?"

The proprietress brought the new order to the table, and Bai Xiao also had a mouth full of greasy food, and complained to the proprietress: "I said slightly spicy, you still put so many spicy peppers, scaring away all the wild friends!"

The proprietress: "This is too much talk? Don't you have to eat spicy food!"

Sister Xing found that something was wrong with Siye today, so she left suddenly, saying that she would not have dinner with Mr. Qiao.

Then came back inexplicably.For dinner, he didn't say a few words, didn't eat a few dishes, and drank a lot of wine.

During various dinners, Siye seldom drank, at most, he had a casual drink.

"The Wilderness" doesn't need him to drink and talk business.

Especially when facing Mr. Qiao today.

This guy has been cooperating with "Wilderness" since last year's exhibition, and admires Siye's talent. He always drinks, and Siye is free.

At the beginning of the banquet, Qiao always asked someone to remove the wine glass in front of Siye.

Si Ye pressed it down, saying he wanted to drink.

As soon as you drink it, it's out of control.

Whoever said a few words to Si Ye, Si Ye would hold the cup.Later, Mr. Qiao couldn't stand it anymore and asked him to drink juice.

But he shook his head and clinked glasses with Mr. Qiao.

After the banquet, everyone walked to the elevator.

Sister Xing is worried and wants to go back with Si Ye.

Si Ye shook his head, "I'm the driver."

"I'll see him off." Mr. Qiao said, "I'm blaming me today. Ono seems to have something on his mind, so he came to have this meal with me."

At the entrance of the hotel, Mr. Qiao's driver drove over.

Sister Xing was a little hesitant. Although she knew Mr. Qiao was a gentleman and would not do anything to Siye, she was still worried.

"I..." Si Ye was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

That sound was far away, as if separated by... across the continuous mountains.

But he still looked over.

In the slightly shaking field of vision, Jin Zhongshan stood on the other side of the garden, and after calling him, he ran over eagerly.

"Ah...brother..." He muttered in a low voice, even Mr. Qiao who was standing beside him didn't hear it.

Sister Xing was very surprised.

Although Si Ye refused to say anything, she could tell that Si Ye and Jin Chongshan had broken up.

"Mr. Jin."

"Sister Xing." Jin Chongshan greeted and immediately looked at Si Ye.

Si Ye was drunk, although he was looking at him, he had no focus.

As a bystander, Sister Xing can see it most clearly.

Just now she was arguing with Mr. Qiao about who would send Siye back, but Siye didn't say a word, as if it didn't matter who sent him back.

But since Jin Zhongshan appeared, Si Ye hadn't seen anyone else.

Sister Xing sighed secretly, but relaxed, "Mr. Qiao, Ono's family is here to pick him up."

Mr. Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Family?"

"Well, it's Ono's brother." Sister Xing immediately said, "Mr. Jin, Ono drank too much, please take care of him."

Jin Chongshan stretched out his hand to Si Ye, Si Ye looked at it, pouted his lips inadvertently, and then let Jin Chongshan hold it naturally.

Mr. Qiao smiled, "Then I'll go back first, happy cooperation."

Sister Xing sent him to the car, "See you, Mr. Qiao."

Jin Chongshan walked to the car with Si Ye in his arms, fumbled for the key, asked Si Ye to sit in the passenger seat and fasten his seat belt.

The alcohol took full effect, and Siye became even more drunk.

Jin Chongshan looked at him for a while, then clicked on the navigation and drove out of the hotel.

"Still living where you were before?"

Si Ye reacted slowly and nodded after a long time: "Yeah."

Back at the loft, Siye almost fell asleep.

Jin Chongshan didn't call him, and carried him back directly.

Everything at home is as usual, even the password has not been changed.

Jin Chongshan put Siye on the sofa, boiled water, and heated up a cup of milk. When he wanted to take Siye to take a bath, Siye suddenly became sober.

"What are you doing back?" Siye's eyes were still out of focus, he looked at Jin Chongshan clearly, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything.

"Come to you."

Without knowing where the strength came from, Si Ye grabbed Jin Zhongshan's T-shirt with both hands and pulled him onto the sofa.

Drunk people can only express themselves, and they can't hear others' answers.

Jin Zhongshan propped his knees on the sofa, covering Si Ye.

Si Ye's fingers trembled, but his grip was tight.The wine he drank seemed to have filled his eyes, which were moist and bright.

Jin Chongshan called Si Ye, but Si Ye didn't respond, he just talked about himself.

"You're gone, why are you coming back? I didn't ask you to come back, I didn't ask you to come back..."

The more Si Ye spoke, the lower his voice became, and the more he spoke, the more grievance in his tone.

He is like a stubborn child, desperately hiding his fragility.

Jin Chongshan held his hand, "It's not you who asked me to come back, it's me who came back to find you."

"I will forget, I have forgotten a lot." Si Ye deceived himself: "You are not the only one who can let go, I can also let go. Give me a little more time, and I will let go of everything."

An emotion called heartache seized Jin Chongshan.

The snow-capped mountains are not as immobile for thousands of years as people see.

It will also be raging with strong winds and torrents of snow.

"You go, don't interrupt my progress." Si Ye sniffed, "I'm going to start letting go again."

"No." Jin Chongshan held his hand even tighter.

He frowned and whispered, "It hurts."

Jin Chongshan let go, Si Ye unconsciously touched the pinched red place, and muttered: "Anyway, you have to go."

"I do not go."

"You let me go."

Facing Siye's eyes that were half dazed and half awake, Jin Chongshan's throat seemed to be blocked.

The words he said that hurt Si Ye the most were: Let go.

"You put me down." Si Ye repeated in a softer voice, even his eyes were red, "So I will let go too. You go back, don't come."

Jin Chongshan hugged him into his arms, "I didn't let go."

Si Ye stared blankly at the wall, and after a while he said, "But I want to let you go."

"You lied to me and said that you would take me to see the apricot blossoms on the ancient Tasha Road. You didn't take me."

"But I don't care. Someone showed me."

Jin Chongshan's shoulders stiffened.

Si Ye continued to talk about himself, "You don't show me the Duku Highway either. It's okay, I'll find someone to show me too."

Jin Chongshan asked: "Who is it?"

Si Ye shook his head, eyelids twitching, "So you don't come, I let you go. Jin Chongshan, I let you go. You go back."

Jin Chongshan let go of him, and he curled up on the sofa, closed his eyes and said, "You are the one who wants to go, you don't want me, and I don't want you either."

In the early morning, Si Ye woke up from the bed and sat in a daze for a while.

He remembered that he drank too much, and it was Jin Chongshan who sent him back.

He seemed to have said a lot to Jin Chongshan, but he couldn't remember a single word.

Why did Jin Zhongshan come back?What's going on in Chengdu?

Si Ye sighed and rubbed his sore eye sockets.

No more thinking about it.What Jin Chongshan does has nothing to do with him.He can't expect that Jin Zhongshan will come back for him.

Because he can't afford to "let go" next time.

Unable to fall asleep, Si Ye reached for his phone by the bedside and watched the video of his heartbeat.

Since Heartbeat no longer updates, fans are urging updates every day.

Si Ye had never urged him to change, but at this moment he came back because of Jin Zhongshan's departure and suddenly wanted to see the Duku Highway.

In summer, the Duku Highway is already open.

It was the first time for Si Ye to get a rocket like those big brothers at the top of the tipping list.

I thought that one was not enough, so I swiped five in a row, and added a reminder message——

[When will you show us the Duku Highway? ]
