Banshuharu

Chapter 40

In the lonely night, Ping Qiu was lying on the side of the bed by the window, slowly digging a small wrinkle on the bed sheet with his index finger, occasionally regaining consciousness, but most of the time he just let his thoughts go blank and was in a daze.He was thinking about something, he couldn’t say it well, maybe he didn’t think about anything, the memories and feelings were stripped from his body, he seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, the chills all over his body rose and fell, as if a cool wind was blowing up the soles of his feet, calling him Every now and then I get a cold cramp.

After several times, Pingqiu finally found that the coldness was not without reason, but actually came from Xu Xiuyuan who was standing behind him.

Xu Xiuyuan didn't move for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep.He passed under Pingqiu's neck with one hand, and wrapped around Pingqiu's waist with the other. His palm was still unknowingly stretched into the hem of the sweater, and the palm was pressed against Pingqiu's warm belly.

For this reason, Pingqiu didn't dare to take a big breath, worried that the ups and downs of his lower abdomen would awaken his dream, so he could only carefully turn over, gently pulled Xu Xiuyuan's hand away, looked at him quietly for a while, and then tucked him in his back Back quilt angle.

At this time, it was just a quarter after one o'clock in the morning, and there were few noises outside, except for the faint sound of car horns, but they all rang twice shortly and then returned to silence.

Ping Qiu held Xu Xiuyuan's hand, not daring to hold it too tightly, more like supporting him.He just stared at Xu Xiuyuan silently, looked at his eyebrows, thought about what he said, and recalled all the past between them.The love born in the middle of the night was squandered by him to his heart's content, Ping Qiu couldn't help but want to touch Xu Xiuyuan's eyebrows.

As soon as he touched it, Xu Xiuyuan suddenly opened his eyes, seemed to be smiling, and asked vaguely what Pingqiu wanted to do.He seemed to be very tired, he was holding Pingqiu and talking at first, but within 2 minutes he whispered that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, then he hugged Pingqiu even tighter, buried his face, and soon lost consciousness.

As soon as Xu Xiuyuan woke up, Ping Qiu's feelings of hurting the spring and autumn immediately withdrew.The two had just settled their suspicions not long ago, but now they are already lying on the same bed, leaning so close, almost face to face, and their lips will touch each other with a slight lift, this makes Ping Qiu feel uncomfortable, let Xu Xiuyuan put it away Arms, the reason for activating the blood, retreated to the side of the bed, then propped up the body, and sat on the head of the bed.

But he didn't want Xu Xiuyuan to hug his waist directly and lean up, put his head in front of Pingqiu's abdomen, and put his hands around him habitually. The body is so dependent that Pingqiu cannot break free.

Tried to push him, also tried to pump his legs, but Xu Xiuyuan pressed him so tightly that he couldn't push him.Sometimes when Pingqiu was too strong, Xu Xiuyuan would complain twice, saying that he was very tired and just wanted to hold Pingqiu to sleep for a while. Doze off, just rest for a while.

Sure enough, Ping Qiu didn't move much after listening to it, and even his body tensed up, as if he could make Xu Xiuyuan waste this quarter of an hour of rest if he made a small extra movement.Xu Xiuyuan could remember his reaction in his heart without opening his eyes, so he laughed silently, enjoying Pingqiu's obedience, and still pressed his body to sleep.

As time ticked by, Ping Qiu no longer looked out the window, but looked down at Xu Xiuyuan's exposed half of his cheek.

Because of sleeping on his stomach, his usually handsome face was suppressed to be a bit sensual. Pingqiu couldn't help touching Xu Xiuyuan's hair, but because he was afraid of disturbing him, he only slowly and gently put his hand on his forehead. The side of the head is vacated, as if stroking the air.

Xu Xiuyuan seemed to be aware of it, the arm around Pingqiu's waist moved slightly, and then withdrew his right hand from behind, and put it on Pingqiu's abdomen.

Seeing the bruised pinhole on the back of his hand, Pingqiu frowned suddenly, remembering that Xu Xiuyuan once said that he was busy with his internship, working around for several days, running errands for Yuan Feng, and remembering that He Xiao first talked about Yuan Feng's relationship with Xu Xiuyuan. The evaluation, "too utilitarian", "too much desire to win", every word and every word was a heavy punch in Pingqiu's heart. He unconsciously pursed his lips, trying to swallow back the surging emotions in his heart little by little.

It's a pity that it's not that easy, Ping Qiu wondered if his eye sockets had become broken bowls whose edges had been broken tonight, and if he only needed to hold a little tear, he would let it flow out unbearably.He blinked again, adjusted his breathing again, his eyelashes were a little wet, and at least he shed tears without exaggeration.

Ping Qiu slowly scratched the back of Xu Xiuyuan's hand with his fingers, as if drawing a circle.He circled the needle holes one by one with his fingers, and finally covered the entire back of his hand with his palm, then leaned over and pulled the quilt to cover Xu Xiuyuan tightly, and gently patted Xu Xiuyuan's back with his right hand through the quilt. back.

At 01:30 in the morning, Xu Xiuyuan woke up on time.Ping Qiu silently packed his scattered luggage—on the first day of the new year, he would not let Xu Xiuyuan spend the night in a strange and convenient hotel as if he was homeless.

In fact, he didn't have much clothes, Xu Xiuyuan seemed to be like what he said, and he didn't intend to take this opportunity to get close to Pingqiu and disturb his so-called new life.He didn't even bring office supplies such as a computer and tablet, and only his mobile phone was with him, and it shut down automatically due to insufficient power.

Speaking of mobile phones, Ping Qiu packed Xu Xiuyuan's luggage, took out the mobile phone from his coat pocket to check the information, but found that the mobile phone had been turned off due to the low temperature at some point.At this start, missed calls and unread text messages rushed in, followed by a series of crying faces from Chen Xiaoyi, asking where Pingqiu is now, why he didn't call back, whether there was an accident on the road, or has already encountered an accident .

Message Yuan Feng first to prevent him from worrying about Xu Xiuyuan's disappearance, then Pingqiu called Chen Xiaoyi and the others to report that he was safe, but Chen Xiaoyi insisted on waiting for him to return home safely.There was no other way, Pingqiu had no choice but to pull Xu Xiuyuan to check out in a hurry.

Before leaving the hotel, Ping Qiu pulled the loose coat collar for Xu Xiuyuan, seeing that his neck was a bit empty, he took off the scarf, tied it on tiptoe, and tucked the long part down.

Before entering the house, Ping Qiu instructed Xu Xiuyuan to change his shoes at the door, and was about to give some instructions when the door suddenly opened from the inside.Chu Ti showed her face slightly, her eyes wandered twice on the faces of Ping Qiu and Xu Xiuyuan, she frowned, but she didn't say something sarcastic about Xu Xiuyuan as Ping Qiu was worried about, but got out of the way, turned around and went back to the living room.

Different from Chu Tiwei's reaction, Chen Xiaoyi was completely surprised.She was originally anxious because of Ping Qiu's disappearance, but now that he not only arrived home safely, but also brought back a strange man hand in hand, she couldn't help widening her eyes, walked behind Chu Tiwei, and asked her for advice in a low voice.

Chu Ti hid slightly: "You can ask directly."

"I'm not..." Chen Xiaoyi showed embarrassment, seeing that Pingqiu followed suit, she was even more embarrassed, "It's nothing, I won't ask."

"He's my friend, a younger brother," Ping Qiu knew she was curious, "I just went looking for him."

"Oh, like this," Chen Xiaoyi quickly explained, "We're just worried about you. You ran out suddenly and didn't know where you were going. You couldn't get through on the phone. I thought you were in trouble."

"I didn't make it clear, sorry."

"It's okay, it's good that you are safe." Chen Xiaoyi always spoke sharply, but this time her heart beat a little faster, and she behaved awkwardly when facing Ping Qiu and that strange visitor.She scratched her hair by her ears, and said first: "It's so late, boss, you still have friends to entertain, so I'll leave first. See you in a year."

"I'll see you off." Ping Qiu said.

"It's okay, I can ride by myself."

"It's too late, you're alone, I don't worry. I'll stop a taxi to take you off." Ping Qiu just took off his shoes, and turned to put them on again.

"I'm driving." At this moment, Xu Xiuyuan interrupted, attracting the attention of the other three people in the room.Ping Qiu was surprised, Chu Ti frowned slightly, but the other party, Chen Xiaoyi, scratched her palms nervously, wishing she could spread her wings and fly home by herself.

Xu Xiuyuan's car was parked in front of the hotel, he went to pick up the car alone, while Pingqiu accompanied Chen Xiaoyi to wait at the intersection.Seeing that she was always shrinking her neck, Ping Qiu stretched out his hand to straighten her turned wool collar.

Chen Xiaoyi's lips were stiff from the cold, she thanked her, and held her breath in her throat again, sneezing twice.

She rubbed her nose, seemingly unintentionally said: "Boss, that friend of yours looks familiar to me."

"look familiar?"

"Well. I should have seen him."

"when?"

"That's right, once."

"Maybe," Ping Qiu smiled, "He has a public face."

Chen Xiaoyi followed suit and grinned: "No, he's obviously very handsome. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to forget him all the time, and you wouldn't accept other people. I'm very smart, and I would never say anything about it."

Pingqiu hesitated: "How do you know?"

"I'm smart."

"..."

"Okay, there was actually one time..." Before finishing speaking, the car approached from a distance, Chen Xiaoyi automatically cut off the voice, and quickly got into the back seat.

Pingqiu got into the co-pilot and was about to turn his head to ask questions, but was reminded by Xu Xiuyuan to fasten his seat belt.With this interruption, Pingqiu missed the opportunity to ask, seeing Chen Xiaoyi's eyes dodging in the rearview mirror, he still didn't force Chen Xiaoyi to answer in front of the third person present.

Chen Xiaoyi lives in a shared apartment in a relatively remote area. After getting out of the car, she walked around to the co-pilot to say goodbye to Ping Qiu, then bent her waist down even more, and thanked the driver's seat.

Looking at the community, the road inside was dark, and there was no one in front or back, Ping Qiu was worried, so he said that he would send Chen Xiaoyi to the house.

When it came to safety issues, Pingqiu refused to let go, Chen Xiaoyi couldn't refuse, so he agreed.She walked in front, Pingqiu was half a step behind, there is no elevator in the community, and the shared apartment is on the fourth floor, there was only the sound of tapping footsteps in the corridor for a while, Chen Xiaoyi became playful, held up the flashlight of her mobile phone and hit her chin, and suddenly turned around To scare Pingqiu, seeing Pingqiu was really frightened, she laughed again.

After sending it to the door, Pingqiu said goodbye, but Chen Xiaoyi called him: "I'd better tell you, if I don't tell you, I always feel weird in my heart. Let me tell you in advance, I really didn't mean it. I didn't do it on purpose. Thought you knew each other."

"You said."

"I did meet him, actually a month or two ago. Do you still remember that you said you were going to Shanghai? You also received a letter and sent it to the store."

"remember."

"Actually, he was the one who came to deliver things that time."

"A letter from him?"

"Well, I can't remember this level of appearance wrongly," Chen Xiaoyi recalled, "but he came over to ask if you were there, and then said this was a letter for you. I didn't think much about it, so I just I thought he dropped by, so I didn’t say anything. You won’t blame me, will you?”

"It's just this little thing? It doesn't matter," Ping Qiu shook his head, "And you don't know about it, so why blame you."

"That's good," Chen Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't know at the time. Judging by your expression, you didn't seem to care too much. You just thought it was ordinary and it was no big deal. If I knew that he was the one you would never forget ex, I will definitely tell you, you know that, right."

"Who told you this, Chenchen?"

"No!" Chen Xiaoyi closed her mouth, "Nothing."

"Okay, then I know now, you don't have to feel guilty," Ping Qiu smiled and urged, "Go in quickly, it's cold outside."

"You go back too. Goodbye boss."

Pingqiu watched her close the door, gathered up her collar, turned and went downstairs.Stepping out of the corridor, I found that Xu Xiuyuan got out of the car at some point and stood outside the anti-theft door, looking up at the string of voice-activated lights that went off, on and off by the corridor window.

The footsteps stopped immediately under the eaves, Ping Qiu looked at Xu Xiuyuan, stepped forward after a while, said let's go, it's time to go home.

The carriage was heated and air-conditioned, Pingqiu put his hands on the air outlet, palms and backs of his hands to keep warm, without opening his mouth first.Xu Xiuyuan watched his every move, and saw that the base of his left ring finger was a little red, and wanted to get closer to see if he had frostbite, but Ping Qiu twisted his wrist, refusing Xu Xiuyuan to touch it.

Xu Xiuyuan paused in mid-air: "What's wrong?"

"Did you visit me in the past two years?" Ping Qiu asked.

"Have."

"I mean, two years ago, or this year."

"Have."

"...you knew I was back?"

"know."

"Don't look for me, afraid that I will be angry?"

"Maybe, I don't know how to face you."

"I heard that you sent the invitation letter for He Xiaoxian's photography exhibition last time."

"Yes."

"You also knew that I would go," Ping Qiu boldly guessed, "You joined forces with He Xiaoxian?"

"Never mind, he also wants you to go. Besides, didn't you guess that I would go?" Xu Xiuyuan pointed, "You clearly know that I have been in contact with He Xiaoxian, and you don't doubt it?"

Ping Qiu didn't answer, but went back to the original topic: "When did you come to see me?"

Xu Xiuyuan said, "A lot of times."

At the end of the freshman summer vacation, autumn is approaching and the heat is still there. Xu Xiuyuan stood under the tree diagonally opposite the shop and saw Ping Qiu dragging a cart down the steps, picking up a bucket of paint, and squatting in the corner of the shop wearing a mask. Paint the small piece of wall that was left out.Seeing the customers in the store, she deliberately approached Ping Qiu on tiptoe, and tapped his shoulder lightly behind him.

Ping Qiu was very surprised, but he took off his mask and smiled all over his face. He took the crispy tube from the other party, and the two randomly chose the bench in front of the store and sat down.Pingqiu ate the ice cream slowly, stretched his legs again, and showed his friends his painted trousers.He's happy and laughing all the time, and the torn crispy wrappers are folded and set aside.After eating the last part, he will take off the packaging, hold the cone-shaped ice cream in his hand, and in turn, bite off the sharp point of his head.

As for the boy who gave him ice cream and later accompanied him to paint the shop, Xu Xiuyuan recognized him, but only recently did he know his name, surname Cheng, Pingqiu called him Zi Nong.

"That day, I sat in the car like this." Xu Xiuyuan faced forward and found that the windshield was a little foggy, "I know the time you got on and off the car, I was waiting for you to show up, but you didn't Come on. He Xiao first said that you have left, but he refused to say where you are, but I know. I will go to the riverside to find you, I know you are there, blow a cold wind for an hour, and you will not go away until it is about to open."

"I always thought," Ping Qiu was in a daze, "that photography exhibition was the first time we met in the past two years."

"You can think of it this way, I don't want you to have any burden," Xu Xiuyuan said, "and I also owe you a dignified apology. I was too angry that day, talking nonsense and losing my temper with you, will you hate me? ?”

"No." Ping Qiu shook his head.

"You know why, don't you?"

Finding all the reasons for him to be jealous in his heart, Pingqiu said tolerantly: "At that time my tone was not good either, we each took a step back and didn't get angry."

Xu Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to cover the back of Pingqiu's hand, and smiled at him: "Then go home."

"Go back." Ping Qiu did not refuse.

When she got home, she didn't expect that the light was still on in the house. Chu Tiwei sat cross-legged on the sofa watching a late-night TV series. She heard the sound and got off the sofa. She pretended not to see Xu Xiuyuan behind Pingqiu, and asked Pingqiu how he slept today.

Because only the bedroom has air-conditioning at home, she slept on the bed for the first two days, and Ping Qiu slept on the floor, but tonight there was an extra Xu Xiuyuan staying overnight, the distribution of beds was uneven, and it was not appropriate for two men to sleep on the floor. Said that she slept on the sofa, and the big bed in the bedroom was reserved for the two of them.

Of course Pingqiu disagrees, Chu Ti has a slight back injury, and the sofa is too narrow for her to sleep comfortably. With two mattresses, it should be able to sleep people.Chu Tiwei didn't hesitate, and closed the door after returning to the room, leaving only Ping Qiu and Xu Xiuyuan in the main hall.

After making the bed, Pingqiu turned off the headlight in the living room, and asked Xu Xiuyuan to take a shower first, and change him later.But when he came out of the bathroom, Xu Xiuyuan was already fast asleep wrapped in a thick quilt.

With moisture remaining on his body, Pingqiu waited until he was completely dry before stepping into bed slowly.The flat chair is wider than the sofa. Xu Xiuyuan chose the side of the sofa, occupying the position between the two parts. Ping Qiu touched his lower back with his hand, and there was some empty space underneath. It must be uncomfortable to sleep, so he climbed up again. Get out of bed and push the chair closer to the sofa.

However, the edge of the chair and the sofa did not match, and there was still a gap in the middle, so Pingqiu had no choice but to get close to Xu Xiuyuan to support him, trying to relieve him of some discomfort with his arms and legs.

For this reason, they got very close, even to the point where they were face to face, Ping Qiu could clearly see every texture on Xu Xiuyuan's face, eyebrows, eyelashes, nose tip, philtrum, and lips.He observed Xu Xiuyuan carefully, as if he had never observed his face so carefully before, and stretched out his fingers involuntarily, and tapped lightly on the bridge of his tall nose, knocking silently, as if beating Xu Xiuyuan hard and prickly shell.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Xiuyuan opened his eyes suddenly, Ping Qiu was caught off guard, and fell straight into his slightly bewildered eyes. The stunned expression was so calm.

The heartbeat was accelerating, and Ping Qiu's fingers were still on Xu Xiuyuan's cheek. When Xu Xiuyuan leaned forward to kiss him, he shrank his neck in panic, and immediately curled up his toes under the quilt.

Like being hit on the head by a hydrogen balloon filled with hot water in a world of ice and snow, after being dizzy, there was a chilling warmth, Ping Qiu slowly hugged Xu Xiuyuan, let him kiss, put his hands into the hem of his clothes, and stroked his body.But there was no further plan, they just hugged and kissed until they couldn't breathe well before breaking up.

Ping Qiu's eyes were hazy, and when Xu Xiuyuan kissed his cheeks and ears, he closed his eyes slightly, stroking Xu Xiuyuan's cheek with his fingers.

In the soft sound of water stains, Pingqiu seemed to be talking to himself: "I didn't hit you on purpose...I'm sorry."

Xu Xiuyuan didn't make a sound, but the kiss became softer.Almost kissing Pingqiu's face, he finally fell on Pingqiu's chest, allowing him to rub his ears soothingly.

The night is deep.

Early the next morning, Pingqiu was the first to open his eyes.Although the rest time was only over an hour, surprisingly, he didn't feel tired, but rather excited.Except for him, Chu Tiwei and Xu Xiuyuan were still soundly asleep. He dressed lightly and went out, wanting to take advantage of this time to go to the breakfast stall at the intersection to buy some steamed buns.

The current time is 06:30, and there is already a long queue in front of the breakfast shop.Pingqiu asked for three drawers at a time, plus twenty fried dumplings and three bags of soy milk. The boss was surprised and laughed that he usually has a small bird's stomach, but today it was a big deal, probably a roomful of guests from home.Pingqiu smiled and didn't answer, and went home with breakfast in hand.Before crossing the sidewalk, he looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and today was a fine day.

The closer you are to the tube building, the clearer the two figures at the bottom of the building will be.Ping Qiu walked past the fence, his pace gradually slowed down, until his suspicion was confirmed, he said: "Zinong, why are you here?"

Cheng Zinong turned around and stared at Pingqiu without blinking.

Standing behind him is Xu Xiuyuan, probably just woke up, with disheveled hair, not even wearing a coat, just a sweater, waiting downstairs, watching Ping Qiu approach, and naturally took the two bags of breakfast in his hand .The plastic bag made Pingqiu's fingers have red marks, Xu Xiuyuan took advantage of the situation to hold his palm and looked at it, and pinched his fingers to heal the blood.Pingqiu felt the pain, so he gave it a try, but Xu Xiuyuan didn't force him, and let go.

Seeing the small actions of the two of them, Cheng Zinong's expression was slightly gloomy, but he didn't ask what was the relationship between them. I'm afraid Ping Qiu would not answer if he asked, because the answer was too hurtful and Ping Qiu was not good at it.

Cheng Zinong said that he came here to give Pingqiu some New Year's gifts. The gift box is not big, but it is very important. It was wrapped by his mother himself. The upper right corner of the gift box is marked with "Pingqiu" to distinguish it.

Ping Qiu was grateful to him for his thoughtfulness, and handed the remaining two bags of breakfast to Xu Xiuyuan, took the gift box by himself, and asked Cheng Zinong if he had breakfast, and if he wanted to come and have a sit down.He was a little embarrassed: "I bought too much breakfast. The three of us probably couldn't finish it. If you're not busy, come up and join us."

"Three people," Cheng Zinong asked, "is there a guest at home so early?"

"Not guests," Ping Qiu said softly, "They are all family members."

Since there are already family members accompanying him, why should there be another uninvited guest like him.

Cheng Zinong is not very clever, but he is not so stupid that he can't understand what Pingqiu said.He glanced at the "family member" next to Pingqiu, and his eyes met for a while, Xu Xiuyuan did not hide, but Cheng Zinong looked away first.He took half a step back, bid farewell to Pingqiu and turned to leave.After walking a few steps and turning back, Ping Qiu had already disappeared from the bottom of the building. He waited in place, but he found nothing.

According to Xu Xiuyuan, when Pingqiu woke up, he was woken up.When Pingqiu went out, he got up and got dressed, then went downstairs and waited by the stairs, after a while Cheng Zinong came, it was not the first time they met, they were no strangers, but they couldn't say a few words.

Pingqiu laid out the breakfast one by one on the dining table. Chu Tiwei opposite him had just finished washing and sat down. He handed over a pair of chopsticks, but said to Xu Xiuyuan: "It's so cold in the morning, why don't you wear a coat? You already have a bit of a cold."

"I forgot to wear it." Xu Xiuyuan prevaricated.

"How could you forget to wear it?"

"Hurry down to find you."

Chu Ti coughed twice, seeing Ping Qiu looking over, she frowned and punctured a small steamed bun, signaling: "It's hot."

Feeling hot for some reason, Pingqiu went to the kitchen as an excuse to wash the chopsticks.The water washed over the back of his hand, and suddenly a hand stretched out from behind to turn the water down, he tilted his head slightly, trying to avoid Xu Xiuyuan's approach: "Don't move."

"I'll wash your hands." Xu Xiuyuan was too close, his chest pressed against Pingqiu's back, and his voice vibrated when he spoke, "Wait and sleep with me, I'm very tired."

Refusal is not allowed, nor is it allowed to refuse.After washing his hands, Xu Xiuyuan lowered his head, kissed Pingqiu casually on the back of his neck, and told him to come out to eat quickly, then turned and left.

Ping Qiu turned off the water flow, clasped his hands on the edge of the pool, frowned as if he was in distress, thinking how he could reprimand his beating heart to be more obedient.

There are no relatives in this city, and friends also have their own affairs to be busy, so the three of Pingqiu's New Year's Day is very leisurely.Chu Tiwei was watching TV in the living room, Xu Xiuyuan was bored watching TV, so he took Pingqiu back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

The bed isn't too big, it's spacious enough for one person to sleep, but it's a bit cramped for two men to sleep.

Xu Xiuyuan kept lying on his side, and asked Pingqiu to hold him from behind, and stretched out his hand to hold him.Ping Qiu patted his shoulder and leaned over to see after a while, Xu Xiuyuan was breathing evenly and was already sound asleep, but he wanted to pull his hands away, but found that Xu Xiuyuan was clenched tightly in his sleep.As soon as he struggled hard, Xu Xiuyuan would frown, as if he was about to wake up.

Seeing this, Pingqiu didn't dare to move any more, and could only lie down back to his original position, still gently stroking Xu Xiuyuan's shoulders and the back of his head with his palms, until he also fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle, Chu Ti slightly knocked on the door and came in, but Ping Qiu slept soundly, with his cheek on Xu Xiuyuan's back, hugging him tightly like a sleeping doll.She stood by the bed and looked around, snatched back the quilt that Xu Xiuyuan had rolled up half of it, covered Ping Qiu, then closed the curtains, closed the door and left.

This sleep made Pingqiu dizzy, he opened his eyes twice, the room was dark, he thought it was still late at night, so he turned his head and fell asleep again.Then he was woken up by the vibrating mobile phone at the head of the bed. He regained consciousness and found that he and Xu Xiuyuan were sleeping upside down. From the previous position where he was embracing Xu Xiuyuan, Xu Xiuyuan was hugging him, and his back was next to him. Xu Xiuyuan, their hands and feet were intertwined, Xu Xiuyuan's arm passed under his neck at some point, and was tightly clasped around Pingqiu's chest.

Pingqiu was so familiar with this posture, Xu Xiuyuan liked to control him like this before, if he moved a little, Xu Xiuyuan only needed a little effort to hold him back into his arms.So Pingqiu could only stretch out his hand with difficulty, raised the vibrating mobile phone to his face, and connected without looking at the notes.

It was Yuan Feng who called: "Is it convenient to answer the phone now?"

Pingqiu regained consciousness slightly: "It's convenient."

"You said earlier that Xu Xiuyuan was with you?"

"exist."

"Can he answer the phone now? I have something to ask him."

"Maybe it's inconvenient," Ping Qiu gently held the microphone, and looked back at Xu Xiuyuan.With his eyes still closed, Ping Qiu smoothed out the hair on his forehead.

"Then please ask him to call me back later."

"Okay, I remember."

"Thank you," Yuan Feng said, "Also, I forgot to mention last time, I wish you a happy new year."

"You too."

The phone was disconnected, Ping Qiu closed his eyes, recalling the conversation with Yuan Feng, he always felt that the memory was a little suspended.Looking at the time again, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief—it was almost ten o'clock at night.After sleeping soundly for more than ten hours, it's no wonder that I feel light-headed, like a dream but not a dream.

It took a lot of effort to untie Xu Xiuyuan's hands wrapped around his chest. When Pingqiu got out of bed, his legs were a little weak, and his eyes were dark. He leaned on the wall and went out. Chu Tiwei was practicing kicking in the living room with bare feet , with a plastic spoon for digging yogurt in his mouth.

Ping Qiu washed up in a hurry, opened the refrigerator but there was no trace of food, asked Chu Tiwei what she had eaten, she pointed to a pile of snacks on the table, the only thing left was half a dozen unfinished aloe vera flavored yogurts.

"Are you hungry, can I cook something?"

"I'm not hungry," Chu Ti slightly pointed to the room, "he."

"He hasn't had a good rest in the past few days, let him sleep and don't disturb him," Pingqiu folded his sleeves up in half, and said to himself, "Let's cook something, keep warm, wake up." You can still eat some hot food without hurting your stomach.”

Chu Tiwei leaned against the door, watching him busy, blinking her eyes again and again, she said bluntly: "You forgive him."

"what?"

"You forgive him."

"There's nothing to forgive or not to forgive." Pingqiu kept moving without raising his head, "Let's let nature take its course, just be happy."

Seeing that Xu Xiuyuan intended to sleep until tomorrow morning, Pingqiu was afraid that his sleep would be saturated, which would be counterproductive, so he woke him up forcibly, to fill his stomach first and move more.

During the meal, talking about Yuan Feng's phone call not long ago, Xu Xiuyuan ate slowly while dialing back the phone.

Yuan Feng is currently in the southern hemisphere, and when he received a call back in the early morning, he asked Xu Xiuyuan in a very aggressive tone, asking if Xu Xiuyuan chose this time to call on purpose.Xu Xiuyuan pretended not to understand, and asked Yuan Feng if there was anyone beside him, and if He Xiaoxian was there.

Sure enough, he heard He Xiaoxian screaming from a distance, Xu Xiuyuan handed the phone to Ping Qiu, Ping Qiu didn't understand, just put it to his ear, he heard He Xiaoxian calling: "Are you reconciled!"

Glancing at Xu Xiuyuan, Ping Qiu could easily see the cunning in his eyes, and his heart was pounding. When the words came to his lips, he was strangely unwilling to answer this question, and just said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

"Okay, we're going to sea today, to watch the sunrise on the island. How about you, how is Xu Xiuyuan treating you?"

"... We are celebrating the New Year here, today is the first day of the new year, are you not too good?"

"I just hate the Chinese New Year. There are so many people in the family. I'm so annoyed. Yuan Feng doesn't like the New Year either, so we ran out together. But he can only play for two days and will leave soon. Xu Xiu is far worse than him. It should be early, they are very busy and don't have time at all," He Xiaoxian had a sudden thought, "Come and find me, I'll buy you a ticket, can you come and play with me?"

"Forget it, I'm going to open a store in two days. If I have a chance in the future, I'll come to you again."

"When? Give me a moment."

"I can't tell now, but there will be a chance in the future."

"Then you come with Xu Xiuyuan next time."

"Look, the problem is Xu Xiuyuan," He Xiaoxian said, "You haven't reconciled yet? What did he say to you again, or do you already have another boyfriend? It's impossible for you? Not at all? "

He spoke very fast, and before Ping Qiu could answer, He Xiaoxian turned his head and complained to Yuan Feng, probably saying that their plan was wrong, they shouldn't have waited so long, it's all Xu Xiuyuan's fault for insisting on waiting, it's all right now, After wearing out Pingqiu's patience, he is now with other people, so there will be Xu Xiuyuan in the future.

Ping Qiu could hear vaguely, only Xu Xiuyuan and his own name.But when he asked again, the phone was taken away by Xu Xiuyuan.I don't know what He Xiaoxian said again this time, but Xu Xiuyuan smiled, and followed up to take up the wire without making a sound, seeing Pingqiu's face was confused, and asked: "What did He Xiaoxian just say?"

"I didn't say it."

"I heard it all, he has always had a voice."

"He's asking me why I still can't get you to accept me."

Pingqiu was silent for a long time before saying: "Eat first, eat it after it gets cold, it will hurt your stomach."

Xu Xiuyuan looked at him, but he didn't force him to answer like Ping Qiu was worried about. Instead, he lowered his head and drank the soup quietly. While Ping Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little bit disappointed.

Xu Xiuyuan left on the third day of the Lunar New Year.He drove by himself, originally planned to leave at night, but Ping Qiu was afraid that it would be unsafe for him to drive late, so he changed the time to afternoon.

These two days, there were no guests at home, and they spent a relatively peaceful New Year with Chu Tiwei.

Before leaving, Chu Tiwei was very knowledgeable and didn't go downstairs to see him off.Pingqiu put Xu Xiuyuan's luggage and some easy-to-carry food in the back seat, and asked where Xu Xiuyuan's car came from. He was very generous and said that it was an old car that was not often driven in Yuanfeng's garage. When he came back to Shanghai, Yuan Feng lent him his car, but He Xiao didn't know how to drive, so he lent the car to Xu Xiuyuan.

Although Xu Xiuyuan made money, he rarely squandered it. Since he has a ready-made car that can be used, he doesn't need to spend money to buy another one himself.Pingqiu thinks it is not good to occupy other people's car like this, and advises Xu Xiuyuan to be careful, Xu Xiuyuan nods his head and agrees, keeping his eyes on Pingqiu all the time.

Ping Qiu felt uncomfortable, so he gently pushed him: "Did you hear that?"

"heard it."

"I'm not blaming you, nor teaching you a lesson. If you don't like to hear it, I won't say it."

"No dislike, I like that you care about me."

Pingqiu's cheeks were burning red, his eyes dodged, he could hardly bear Xu Xiuyuan's stare, he could only take advantage of the momentum to go down, telling Xu Xiuyuan to get on the road quickly, otherwise it would be dark in a while.

Xu Xiuyuan didn't move: "You forgot."

"Forget what?"

"You haven't answered me yet, what do you think?"

"I didn't think much of it."

"I mean, what is our relationship now, are we together, or am I chasing you?"

"..." Ping Qiu's lips moved slightly, he hesitated to speak.

"Are you refusing to forgive me? Is it because I didn't make it clear, or I wasn't sincere enough to make you feel that I didn't really want to reconcile with you?"

"No, I know what you mean."

"In the past two days, we got along well. You didn't reject me too much, did you?"

I can't explain the inexplicable hesitation in my heart. The reason is probably "Once bitten by a snake, I am afraid of the well rope for ten years." .But to Xu Xiuyuan, his silence was more like a kind of refusal and indifference.

Xu Xiuyuan's expression was a little lonely, Pingqiu saw his reaction in his eyes, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and after a long silence, he suddenly embraced Xu Xiuyuan's neck with both hands, patted his back shoulder slowly, and said in a low voice: "You know what I mean, don't you?"

Complying with Pingqiu's arms, Xu Xiuyuan hugged him tightly, putting his cheek against his neck: "I know."

Knowing that Pingqiu likes him, knowing that Pingqiu loves him even more, in front of this kind of liking and doting, the little hesitation and fear become insignificant from then on.Pingqiu's answer has always been like this.

The hug became tighter and tighter, and the difference in height forced Ping Qiu to raise his head slightly so that he could rest his chin on Xu Xiuyuan's shoulder.His eyes fell on the roof of the residential buildings in the distance, the sun hung half of his body on the edge, the sun was shining warmly, Ping Qiu didn't dare to look directly, so he closed his eyes slightly.

He finally remembered the half-sentence that was almost forgotten: "I'll wait for you...I will definitely wait for you."

In fact, Ping Qiu has been waiting, waiting for Xu Xiuyuan to appear, waiting for Xu Xiuyuan to grow up, waiting for Xu Xiuyuan to love him.
