Yamakawa

The days in Hemu are extremely dull and comfortable.

After waking up, the two of them brushed their teeth and washed their faces together in front of the mirror, and made a simple and hearty breakfast. The smoke from the kitchen wafted out of the room.

Every wooden house emitting smoke is a sign of the revival of the village.

There is a very large swing in the yard where they live, facing the snow-covered birch forest, and sometimes you can see horse herders passing through the forest.

Xie Qiujie likes to sit on a swing, enjoy the scenery or be in a daze.

The surrounding wooden houses are covered with thick white snow, like cotton soft cream, and there are large snow mushrooms. The birch forest and snow mountains opposite are like a silent ink painting, poetic and beautiful.

Just swinging and swinging on the swing, everything fell silent.

Suddenly feeling a scarf around his neck, Xie Qiujie came back to his senses, looked up at Xia Youqing, "Have you finished editing the picture?"

"Well, it's finished." Xia Youqing wrapped the scarf for him, "It's so cold outside, why don't you wear the scarf and hat because you're waiting to catch a cold?"

Xie Qiujie: "I forgot."

Xia Youqing put the beige hat on Xie Qiujie's head, saw his earrings, and asked, "Are your ears cold?"

Xie Qiujie shook his head, "It's not cold, I wanted to go in and get it, but I didn't want to move on the swing."

Swinging will be addictive, not to mention the outside world is really beautiful, just looking at the snow-capped mountains and birch forests can stay like this for a whole morning.

Xia Youqing sat beside him, took his hand and stuffed it in his pocket, "Baby, your hands are so cold."

Xie Qiujie squeezed arm to arm on the swing with him, and suddenly asked, "When you sat in one place for a whole day, did you feel that the whole world was quiet?"

"En." Xia Youqing nodded, "This world is very beautiful, and many scenery are worth recording."

"I feel so too."

The two held hands and looked at the snow-capped mountains and the birch forest. They just spent half a day on the swing slowly, but they didn't feel it was a waste.

Nothing good is a waste of time.

Drink milk tea in the cabin, watch Xinjiang girls dance, and listen to them play a dombra.

Go to the century-old house to see old photos and old objects, displaying the history of the mysterious Tuva people, all of which are stories from afar.

There is also the sunset that belongs to Hemu at ten o'clock in the evening, the moon rising from the snow-capped mountains, and the horse-drawn sledge heading home facing the lights.

I met a group of strangers traveling together in Hemu, occasionally cooking together, meeting for snowball fights and watching the sunrise.

It's like really living here.

They were going to eat hot pot on the ice today, and everyone bought vegetables together. Xie Qiujie wrapped several candied haws and stuck them in the snow to freeze.

"Chen Chaosheng, pork belly, throw it in and cook it, I can't reach it here." The girl in the pink hat shouted while scalding her belly in the hot pot.

"Okay, I'll put a few more in." The boy responded, turned his head and asked Xie Qiujie beside him, "Xie Qiujie, what do you want to eat, I'll throw it in for you."

Xie Qiujie said, "You can let it go, I won't pick it."

Chen Chaosheng smiled and said, "It's so easy for you to support yourself."

"He's really easy to raise." Xia Youqing took out two pieces of meat and put them in the Xie Qiu Festival bowl, "Baby, let's eat after blowing."

Chen Chaosheng: "..."

Everyone laughed in good faith, and another girl wrapped in a black down jacket looked at the two and smiled, and asked casually, "How long have you been together, you have a good relationship."

Xie Qiujie gave an estimated value, "Two months."

It turned out that it was only two months, and he always had the illusion that he had liked her for a long time.

"No wonder the relationship is so good, it's the love period." Zhang Meng, the girl in the pink hat, said, "Are you guys working? Xie Qiujie looks like a college student, very young."

Xie Qiujie's face exudes a milky white luster under the light, his eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, looking at him through the steam from the hot pot, he looks like a snow mountain surrounded by mist in the morning.

He blew the meat and bit down, not paying attention to everyone's words.

Xia Youqing replied with a smile for him: "He looks young, and we have been working for several years."

Xie Qiujie drank a sip of rich hot soup, and the whole person was warmed up.

"Hey, I thought he was a student too," Chen Chaosheng said in surprise, "I only have time to go out for a walk when my school is on holiday early. Aren't you busy with work?"

"Not busy." Xia Youqing picked up the pork belly, dipped it in the sauce in the bowl, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Suddenly I realized that we are very busy," said the girl in the black down jacket. "In the future, I will be busy with my graduation thesis. I will be unemployed after graduation, and I will also be busy looking for a job. I am studying computer and now typing codes and staying up late every day to lose my hair. When I enter the company, I will still lose my hair." I don't know how to be bald."

Chen Chaosheng smiled with a bowl in his hand, "Then I'm fine, I'm already in the research institute, basically doing scientific research in the group."

research.

Just like Xia Youqing's father.

Xie Qiujie suddenly turned his head and asked Chen Chaosheng, "Can I ask what you learned?"

"Modern physics." Chen Chaosheng didn't know why.

Xie Qiujie held the bowl, his eyes lit up.

So cool, studying physics, a subject he used to love.

"Do you drink alcohol?" Another boy, Wang Mei, asked, "It's all warm, ah, this hairy belly is old, and it hasn't been burnt well."

Zhang Meng said: "Give me a drink, thank you, hot pot with wine, it's delicious."

"I don't need it, I can't drink too much." The girl in the black down jacket refused.

Wang Mei looked at Xia Youqing and the two, "Xia Youqing, do you want it?"

"A glass is fine, he won't drink it." Xia Youqing took the wine, turned his head, Xie Qiujie and Chen Chaosheng talked about physics enthusiastically, although Xie Qiujie was listening.

Xia Youqing: "..."

Xia Youqing patted Xie Qiujie, "Baby, go and see if the candied haws are ready, I don't know much about that thing, it won't taste good if it gets too cold later."

"Oh, good." Xie Qiujie put down the bowl and found that the candied haws had been frozen, so he took it back, only to find that his place was taken by Xia Youqing.

"Why are you sitting here?" Xie Qiujie asked him holding a candied haws.

Xia Youqing: "There's steam from the hot pot over there, it's not so cold, you can sit in my seat."

Xie Qiujie was skeptical that there was any difference if they were all in the open air.

He took candied haws and distributed them to everyone, "The candied haws are already frozen, you can try them."

"Wow, thank you for the autumn festival, I found that your cooking is really good, and your cooking is also delicious." Zhang Meng boasted, "And the milk cake last time was really delicious!"

Chen Chaosheng looked at Xia Youqing and the two of them, and suddenly said, "I always feel that you look familiar, have you seen you somewhere?"

Zhang Meng nodded in agreement, "I also have this feeling, as if I've met once before, but you guys are so good-looking that you have never met before."

Xie Qiujie: "..."

Xie Qiujie didn't want them to remember anything, it was embarrassing.

Another boy named Wang Mei, after drinking, Wang Mei stared at Xie Qiujie carefully, looked at Xie Qiujie and then at Xia Youqing, thinking of the milk cake Xie Qiujie made last time.

Suddenly, as if he had been connected to Ren Du's second channel, he had a flash of inspiration, clapped his hands and said in surprise: "You two! Are you two in Xi'an?!"

When he said this, Zhang Meng also remembered, "The one in Hanfu? I remember that the two handsome guys in Hanfu also have the same height difference as you. Yes, yes, I remembered! Xia Youqing's facial features are relatively recognizable. been!"

Xie Qiujie said blankly, "Maybe they look alike."

Xia Youqing felt a little funny watching him deny it, so he didn't make a sound.

Although Xia Youqing is quite famous, in fact, no one recognized them during their journey. Xia Youqing has always liked the village and the vast world, and he can meet very few people who know him.

He prefers the state of meeting new friends at any time.

But these few are young people, and the internet speed is relatively fast, so they may have used some of them more or less.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Wang Mei said. "I'm from Xi'an. I remember them. They once set up a stall in the Xi'an night market. My ex-girlfriend really liked the pastries there."

Wang Mei is a storyteller.

Chen Chaosheng patted Wang Mei's shoulder to comfort him, "Brother is fine, we broke up to meet someone better."

"It's okay, it's all over, maybe the relationship is slowly fading, but after talking for three years, it's so broken. It was quite sad at first, and I was a little bit reluctant."

"I can't bear to part with the time I spent on her, and the good memories we had together, but I also know that when it's over, it's over."

Time is the gentlest and cruelest.

Two people are mutual when they are together, and they are reluctant to part with the time and affection they have devoted to each other, but if they don't love, they don't love anymore, and there is no way to come to this ending.

Everyone looked at Wang Mei and was speechless for a while.

Wang Mei took a sip of wine, smiled lightly, and changed the topic: "But Xie Qiujie, you are setting up a stall in Xi'an, I remember that it is called Xiaqiu dim sum stall, it sounds like both of you, it can't be such a coincidence Bar."

Xie Qiujie nodded helplessly: "Well, our shop."

While everyone was talking, Zhang Meng picked up the phone and finally found the original video, looked at the two carefully, and said excitedly: "I'll just say it! These are the two of them. I always look familiar when I see Xia Youqing for the first time. The plasticity of the autumn festival Qiang, I didn’t recognize him a little bit, look, is it the two of them?”

Xie Qiujie caught a glimpse of himself in a green shirt and Xia Youqing in official uniform in the video.

When I think about it, it seems like a long time ago.

It seemed to be only October then.

But I also feel that it was only yesterday that Mingming and Xia Youqing knew each other.

Everyone looked at them with their mobile phones in surprise, and Xia Youqing finally made a fuss over them, and continued to eat hot pot happily.

After eating the hot pot, it was already evening, and the light from the street lamps illuminated the road.

The two held hands and returned to the warm light.

The next day.

After a simple breakfast, petting the cat and dog for a while, Xie Qiujie hugged the cat and watched the cat curl up in his arms.

The cat licked its fur, then half-closed its eyes and yawned.

Xie Qiujie couldn't help but yawned too.

"Sleepy?" Xia Youqing rubbed his waist.

Xie Qiujie nodded with half-closed eyes, and leaned on Xia Youqing's shoulder like a boneless one, "I slept late, but you still dragged me up for breakfast."

"Baby, you used to live a healthy life and rest, but now you have learned to stay in bed, and you have to coax you to eat breakfast." Xia Youqing was a little funny, "Why are we together like different people?"

Xia Youqing was used to staying up late at work in the past, and he often got up to eat breakfast when Xie Qiujie knocked on his door.

Xie Qiujie looked at him with a bit of resentment, "Then I wouldn't go to bed so late at night before, you have to toss so long."

"Who made you pester me so much?" Xia Youqing said.

Xie Qiujie: "..."

Obviously he was jealous, he chatted with Chen Chaosheng about physics for a while, and then he was dismissed.

As a result, when he got home, Xia Youqing, a dog, wanted to say that he was staring at others.

The dog man is full of energy, Xie Qiujie is a bit overwhelmed.

Not wanting to talk about such boring topics anymore, Xie Qiujie said with a wooden face: "I'm so sleepy, go back to sleep."

Xia Youqing: "Yes."

Xie Qiujie put the sleeping cat at the end of the bed, and at the end of the bed there was a fat orange cat napping, its fluffy head arched against the corner of the quilt.

On the carpet under the bed lay the big gray dog ​​that jumped at him before.

The people and cats and dogs in the room were all infected by drowsiness.

Xia Youqing cushioned the pillow, and Xie Qiujie lay in his arms and touched his Adam's apple. There was a shallow hickey near the Adam's apple.

Xie Qiujie called him, "Xia Youqing."

"Ah."

Xie Qiujie said softly: "I read a saying in a book."

"What do you mean?" Xia Youqing responded, stroking the soft hair on the back of Xie Qiujie's head with his big hands, "Baby, aren't you sleepy?"

"It's a little less sleepy now."

It's strange, sometimes when I'm sitting down, I really want to sleep, but when I lie down under the covers, I feel refreshed.

"Listen to me first." Xie Qiujie looked up at him.

"Okay, you say."

"The book says that when people are in love, they will secrete a hormone about love, but the highest concentration of this hormone is only six months to four years, which is the time of a love."

Xia Youqing: "Baby, what do you want to express?"

Xie Qiujie didn't know what he wanted to express.

He just remembered what Wang Mei said yesterday, when it's over, it's over.

Thinking of Zhang Meng saying that it's no wonder the relationship is good, the period of passionate love.

Xie Qiujie lowered his eyes and said softly: "Most relationships don't last long, Xia Youqing, I don't know if we will be an exception."

He didn't want to say it was over one day.

Xie Qiujie started with a long-term mentality. He was afraid that the time of love would pass, and he would still be unable to escape the separation in the end.

Xia Youqing didn't speak.

Xie Qiujie added: "It seems that you have never told me for a long time, nor did you promise."

Xia Youqing chuckled softly, his eyes were filled with tenderness, "Xie Qiujie, do you remember what I said on the rooftop of Bayinbulak?"

Xie Qiujie thought for a while.

Xia Youqing said that he would never leave for the rest of his life.

Even the promise is hidden in the details.

Xie Qiujie kissed his Adam's apple, "I will not leave you either."

Xia Youqing smiled instead, and knocked on Xie Qiujie's head, "Xie Qiujie, you are so stupid, when will you remove the filter for me?"

"Sometimes, you can't believe everything a man says, do you understand? I hope you spend ten or ten years watching my actions, seeing me as a person, and seeing if I am really trying to stay with you for a long time, instead of me saying You can believe a word."

"I don't like promises because I think long-term promises are like painting big cakes. You feel happy when you hear them, but if I don't make them, you will be disappointed in me. These disappointments will accumulate slowly, and you will one day I can't bear it and will leave."

"Most of the sweet words are deceitful. Anyone can say nice things, but people's hearts will change. Only time and actions will tell you whether this person is worth it, and whether I am worth it."

Xie Qiujie: "..."

Xie Qiujie was silent, then raised his head and asked him, "Are you teaching me how to guard against you?"

"..." Xia Youqing showed a little helplessness, "It's not to guard against me, it's not to pay too much attention to what I say, but to see what I do, baby, I didn't lie to you when I was with you. "

If he relied on telling nonsense, Xia Youqing's mouth could deceive hundreds of Xie Qiujie.

But Xia Youqing did a good job.

Xie Qiu could see too much affection and care in his details.

The two looked at each other.

Xie Qiujie suddenly understood Xia Youqing's meaning in these few words, and he seriously wanted to live a lifetime with him and never be separated.

There is another sentence in the book-Although people are not long-lasting creatures, I will go against my nature and love you forever.

"I see." Xie Qiujie hugged his neck and buried him in his arms, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

Xia Youqing embraced him, put his arms around his waist and patted him lightly, coaxing, "Well, go to sleep."

In the warm wooden house, cats and dogs sleep soundly, hugging and sleeping with the people they like.

The white snow outside the house seems to swallow all the sound, the sun is shining on the snow-capped mountains outside the window, the rime of the birch forest is crystal clear, and the Wrangler is heading down the slope.

These mountains and rivers are like wine, respected to the world and gentle, and will not rest until death.
