After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

Observation deck.

Some people marveled at the night scene, while others cheered.

Qiao Annian could only hear his heart beating non-stop.

It's not that he and Xiaolou have never hugged each other before, so he's already used to it.

Strangely, his heart was beating like a rabbit in his arms.

There is really no reason to be moved by such a thing.

Qiao Annian noticed that a couple looked at him and Xiaolou with surprise in their eyes.

The young couple quickly moved away politely, the boy put his arms around the girl's shoulders, and the two of them watched the scenery outside the window together.

In sight, many couples are quietly embracing each other.

Joan was bewitched by this pairing atmosphere, and got a little overwhelmed for a while.

He put both hands gently on He Nanlou's waist.

His heart beat as if he was about to sprint for a hundred meters, and if he took another step forward, he would cross the finish line.

Just be greedy this time.

...

After returning from the viewing platform, Qiao Annian and He Nanlou took the packed food they hadn't finished eating from the waiter, took the elevator down, and drove to the riverside to take a cruise ship.

Qiao Annian didn't know until he got on the cruise ship that dining at restaurants and getting discounts on boat tickets was simply a scam.

According to his analysis, the most essential reason is estimated to be winter, the river tour is colder, and there are fewer tourists. Just look at the tourists in twos and threes on the boat.

Although there are indoor cabins and heating inside, it certainly doesn’t feel like enjoying the night view while blowing the river breeze.

Qiao Annian was afraid that the child would be cold, so like other tourists, Qiao Annian chose to sit in the indoor cabin.

The boat got farther and farther away from the river, and his sight became wider and wider. Qiao Annian looked at the vast river outside the window, feeling a little restless in his heart.

"Bao, you are here. I'll go to the deck to have a look and be back soon."

"I will go with you."

The packed food was placed on the seat, and He Nanlou also stood up.

Qiao Annian thought about it, and it would be nice for the two of them to see Jiangjing together.If it's too cold, get in early.

So, the two of them went to the deck together.

The wind is actually not too strong, it is the river wind in winter, it is not gentle at all, and it brings a biting cold on the body.

There are many high-rise buildings on both sides of the strait, and the bright lights are reflected on the river, and the water is rippling, so beautiful.

Sitting in the cabin, it is impossible to appreciate the scenery.

Qiao Annian folded her arms, the cold was really cold, and the scenery was really beautiful.

He Nanlou: "Cold?"

Qiao Annian had a runny nose from the wind, he sniffed, "Baby, aren't you cold?"

Is it so powerful?

The body was hugged into a warm chest.

Surrounded by the temperature of the human body for an instant, Qiao Annian was so stunned that he even forgot to sniff his nose.

"Is it any better?"

In Qiao Annian's ear, the sound of electronic special effects suddenly sounded——

gameover.

Finished calf.

He actually had an illusion just now that he and Xiaolou were in a relationship, and the two of them were really dating!

It must have been blown for a long time.

My mind is gone!

...

"Date" has a bit of staying power.

It turned out that when Qiao Annian saw He Nanlou, at most, he had a heart arrhythmia occasionally.

Now it is exaggerated to the point that as long as one eye contact, he will be defeated, which is simply unreasonable.

During the day, the two of them are under the same roof, and they don't see each other when they look up every day, and what's too much is that they don't stop at night.

Qiao Annian had been dreaming for several days, dreaming of He Nanlou.

Either dreaming of the two of them riding a horse together on the grassland, or dreaming of them going to a small island in the Pacific Ocean together, diving under the sea together, watching coral reefs, and the two of them even went to ride a hydrogen balloon together...

Qiao Annian felt like he was in a dream and traveled around the world.

If he recorded the dreams he had in the past few days, it would be the kind of travel journal.

That night, Qiao Annian had another dream.

In the dream, he went skiing with the children.

Xiaolou's motor nerves are not good, it is difficult to stand firmly on the sled, and it is easy to fall.

Seeing that Xiaolou was about to fall, he hurried over to help him.

The two of them accidentally fell together, and Xiaolou was crushed under him.

Four eyes facing each other.

Occasionally, Qiao Annian lowered his head slowly.

At the moment when their lips were about to kiss, Qiao Annian suddenly woke up from the dream with a strong sense of guilt.

Outside the window, it was still dark.

Qiao Annian let out a deep breath and put his arms across his eyes.

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

...

"It's great! I'm on my last day of work today, and I'm going to have my annual vacation next! Great!"

Gu Jin excitedly refused.

When I was young, I didn't know the fragrance of winter vacation, so I was tricked by capitalists to come to work.

Now, he is finally free, ahhh!

The air is sweet too!

Well, even the coffee is so mellow!

perfect!

He Nanlou raised his head from the computer, and his eyes fell on the man sitting on his reception sofa with his legs crossed, drinking coffee.

"Take your coffee, go back to your office and go crazy."

"Just, no!"

Gu Jin drank his coffee slowly, put one hand on the leather sofa, and shook his head: "As long as I think that I can sleep as long as I want tomorrow, I will be happy. I even booked the air ticket, and I'm going to the island for vacation! Sunshine, beach, coconut trees...beautiful! By the way, do you and Qiao Annian have any plans and arrangements? Or do you plan to stay at home, and the two of you can have sex without shame. "

He Nanlou's expression darkened.

Gu Jin's eyes gleamed, she immediately put down her raised legs, and put the coffee cup on the tea table, "What? There is something wrong with your relationship? No way? Didn't the two of you go on a sweet date that day?"

It's not too big of a deal to watch the excitement.

He Nanlou: "I have read the investment promotion plan you sent me yesterday..."

"Farewell."

Gu Jin, who will be able to enjoy the happy annual vacation in one hour, left without finishing her coffee.

He Nanlou's eyes darkened slightly.

On the desktop, the phone screen lights up.

Looking at the screen from the corner of his eye, He Nanlou's eyes became colder.

He Nanlou clicked on WeChat.

"Bao, I'm not well here. Call your aunt before you get off work and ask her to come and cook for you. Don't wait for me to come back to eat. I may be late when I get home."

With a cold face, He Nanlou slid his fingertips upwards, and the contents of the chat records were similar with minor differences.

"Baby, I'm going out on location today, don't wait for me to eat together tonight."

"Baby, I have something to do today. It may not be so early when I come back. Go to bed early."

"Baby, the weather is not very good today, and I didn't get the desired effect. I will stay on the mountain for another night and come back tomorrow."

"..."

In the beginning, it was a late return.

Then, began to stay out at night.

He Nanlou is not a fool.

Of course, it was obvious that Qiao Annian was avoiding him, and he also guessed why Qiao Annian was avoiding him.

The reason why he didn't rush forward and directly broke the relationship between the two was to give Qiao Annian time to adapt.

Now it seems that he still overestimated Qiao Annian's acceptance of the changes in their relationship.

He Nanlou threw the phone back to the table and let out a cold snort.

Coward.

...

"Ah."

In the mountains, Qiao Annian, who was standing in the yard of an old-fashioned house with a camera in his hand, turned his head and sneezed.

"Senior, are you okay? Is it too cold? Do you want to come in and warm up? There is no rush."

A girl came out of the room with steaming tea in her hand, carefully took the SLR from Joannian's hand, and handed her the teacup in her hand.

Qiao Annian thanked the other party, took the tea from the girl and held it in his palm.

The girl is Qiao Annian's schoolmate of Jiang University, and she is also a fan who has followed him for a long time.

Qiao Annian was only familiar with each other's id, and the two had never met formally before.

Qiao Annian was in the background of WeChat, and received a private message from Xiao Qianqian, a schoolgirl——

Asked him if he could take a group photo of her two grandpas.

"Senior, I know that you have a stable job recently, and you don't play photography much anymore. I also know that my request is very presumptuous and a bit abrupt. It took me a long time of psychological construction before I finally got up the courage to give You send this private message.

I would like to ask you to take a group photo of my two grandpas, is that ok?Well... my two grandfathers, their grandfathers, they have been together for a long time.I have found other photographers before, but... my mother was adopted by two grandfathers. They did not cheat the marriage, they really spoiled me and my mother since childhood.

My mother passed away unexpectedly, and the two of them suffered a great blow, and they almost turned white overnight, but for me, they have always been brave and optimistic to face life.I know that when I was in college, I publicly stated that homosexuality is no different from heterosexuality, except that they like people of the same sex.

I seem to be talking a bit upside down.I will pay a certain fee, which is saved from my part-time job during winter and summer vacations.I don't know, is it enough... If it's not enough, I can go to work during the winter and summer vacations to pay you back. If I can't pay it back during college, I will definitely pay you back slowly after I graduate.If it's convenient for you, I'd appreciate it, and if it's not, that's okay.Thank you, thank you for taking the time to read my DM! "

Several groups of photos about the elderly in the community that Qiao Annian took for the elderly community before were posted on the Internet by the community staff, and they became a little popular.

As a result, his backstage received many private messages from fans, most of whom expressed their love for his works, and many were moved by his works.

Of course, many people questioned that he was using the old man to hype him up.

Joannian never responded to these controversies.

Those who question the world with their keyboards have probably never received kindness in real life, and they are also stingy in giving kindness to others. Such people are not worth replying.

Among so many private messages, this private message from school girl Xiao Qianqian is definitely the most special.

Because Xiao Qianqian often likes and forwards his Weibo, Qiao Annian has some impression of Xiao Qianqian's id.

He also found Xiao Qianqian's admission information on the school website, which showed that she was indeed studying at Jiangcheng University.

Out of caution, Qiao Annian went to ask Yunxi and Ruoyi again, asking if they could help him find out about Xiao Qianqian in the alumni group. Yunxi and Ruoyi are both girls. Someone cares.

If he inquired in the group, it would cause some discussions, and it would not be good for other girls.

For this reason, Qiao Annian specially recruited a small group of three people.

Jiang Ruoyi didn't join Jiang University, but she was well-informed and had a lot of friends. Jiang University still had a lot of her friends, so Qiao Annian also pulled her into the group.

To Qiao Annian's surprise, Cheng Yunxi, who has never been so keen on socializing, met Xiao Qianqian, a school girl.

Cheng Yunxi: "I have cooperated in a competition, a very cheerful and excellent girl."

Jiang Ruoyi: "??? Da Qiao, this is the first time I've heard you ask about a girl. Is there something wrong with you?"

Qiao Annian: "Nothing, don't get me wrong."

Because Xiao Qianqian's privacy was involved, Qiao Annian only said that the other party asked her to take a group of photos of her family's elders.Since the address of the other party's home is relatively remote, out of caution, I asked clearly in advance.

The competition was also two years ago, and Cheng Yunxi is not a character who will take the initiative to make friends with others.

She thought about it, "I don't know what's going on in her family, but she does live in a remote place. She mentioned it. And she seems to have grown up with her grandfather, and her mother passed away when she was very young." .”

Cheng Yunxi is not a person who likes to gossip, but in the same competition team, he will more or less hear some gossip between other students.

All information is correct.

Out of rigor, Qiao Annian asked his college counselor, and the information he finally got was not much different from Yunxi's.

Qiao Annian replied a private message to Xiao Qianqian, her junior, and took over the task of taking photos of the two old people.

Afterwards, the two agreed on a time and place.

One of Xiao Qianqian's grandfathers caught a cold, coughed and was weak a few days ago, but gradually improved in the past two days.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Qiao Annian will go to work in mt by then, so he may not have time. After the two discussed it, they decided to shoot in these two days.

That's why Qiao Annian is here today.

...

"It's okay. I don't feel cold either. The sun is shining on my body, and it's quite comfortable."

Qiao Annian was standing in the yard. There were mountains behind the house, and there were no other neighbors. He felt aloof and independent.

The house is also well maintained, not grand, let alone grand, but generous and elegant, with flowers and plants planted in the yard.

Even though it is winter, the flowers are bleak, and the white and red camellias are blooming in the yard, one can tell at a glance that the master has a pair of skillful hands in tending flowers and plants, and loves to tidy up and clean.

An old man in his sixties moved a bamboo chair and walked out of the house, "It's warm at this time, but when the sun goes down, it will be cold. It's like this in the mountains, with a big temperature difference between day and night. Come, take advantage of the sun, sit here and feel the last warmth of the evening, it is quite comfortable."

The old man was one of Qiao Annian's subjects today, Meng Haisheng.

His partner is Yue Qiming, who is also of the same sex.

Ask Qiao Annian to come over and take a group of photos for the two old people. This is the best gift that grandson Xiao Qianqian can think of for the old people.

Because the two old people were frugal all their lives, and because of their special relationship, they never took photos in a photo studio. The only photo they had together was a black and white photo taken by the school when they went to college together.

The two old people cherish the group photo very much.

Not long after Qiao Annian arrived, he enthusiastically showed him the photos of the year from the drawer, and told him interesting things about the past.

"For me? Thank you."

Qiao Annian was a little flattered, and quickly took the chair from the old man.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was not right, "You sit, and I won't be tired."

The old man smiled, "It's been a hard day all day, why aren't you tired? In order to cooperate with your filming, Qiming and I sat for a long time. Now, we have to stand. This man, if he sits often Standing, it doesn’t work either. You have to stand, move, and walk.”

Qiao Annian was still embarrassed to sit down, and he was concerned: "Is it hard to take pictures? If you are tired, please tell me, we can take two separate days of shooting. We will shoot another day tomorrow, so that we will not be so tired physically. "

"Isn't that a waste of your time? Besides, we just cooperate in posing together, that is, maintaining a pose for a long time is a bit tiring, but most of the time it's still fun. It's not as good as you, and you have to guide me, Qiming and Qian Qian Qian’s movements, and had to help wait for the light, and instructed Qian Qian to help light up together, so I was very busy.”

The old man still refused to sit down, Xiao Qianqian was clever, and moved another chair into the room.

"No, no. Didn't I say, do I want to stand for a while? Xiao Qiao, Sissy, sit down."

"I think you should sit down. If you don't sit down, I think Xiao Qiao will stand with you all the time. He has been filming for a long time today, and it is hard enough."

This time Qiao Annian photographed another old man, Yue Qiming, wearing an apron, coming out of the kitchen with a kind smile on his face.

Ever since he was a child, Qiao Annian has always been called Da Qiao. This is the first time that he has been called Xiao Qiao, and he can't laugh or cry.

Yue Qiming was preparing dinner, and it was almost ready, he said to the three people in the yard: "Sit down a little longer, wait a minute, dinner should be ready."

"Thank you for your hard work, I have to prepare my dinner."

The old man smiled kindly and said, "In any case, we should be the ones thanking you for your hard work and coming to take pictures of me, Haisheng and Qianqian. You guys talk first, and I'll call you when it's done."

Qiao Annian hurriedly said, "Okay."

The filming was not over yet, and the two elderly people insisted on keeping him here for dinner, so Qiao Annian couldn't refuse, so he had to stay.

Before Qiao Annian, he knew that the two old people lived in such a remote place, but when they really arrived, they had a deeper understanding of the word "biased".

He originally thought that there would be a B&B on the mountain, and he didn't even bring a tent. Therefore, when his school girl Xiao Qianqian asked him to stay here for a night, he couldn't refuse.

The transportation here is inconvenient, and the school girl picked him up from the village. The two walked together for more than 20 minutes before arriving at the residence of the two elderly people.

Unless you go down the mountain overnight, there is really no place to stay nearby.

"Are you tired? Are you still short of a few dishes? How about I cook?"

"Don't. It's rare to have a guest at home, how can you bully the guest if you don't bring it with you?"

"Is the food I cooked so unpalatable?"

"It's not bad, why do you secretly pour out the food you cook every time?"

"Um... um..."

Qiao Annian sat on a chair in the yard, holding his mobile phone in both hands, and sent a message to the child, telling him that he would not go back until tomorrow.

Overhearing the conversation between the two old men, Qiao Annian couldn't help laughing.

It's been a while since the message was sent, but the child didn't reply.

Busy?

Even though the wechat notification was on, Qiao Annian was still afraid that he might miss the message, so he glanced at it from time to time.

"Senior, are you waiting for your girlfriend's call?"

Joannian raised her head, "Huh?"

Xiao Qianqian smiled and said, "I see you've been looking at your phone."

Qiao Annian was taken aback, "No."

If only it was a girlfriend.

He is not in such a conflicted mood now.

I want to get closer, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it.

Xiao Qianqian hesitated to speak.

But the way the senior was out of his mind just now is really like the way the grandpa went to the city on business for a year, and the little grandpa was distracted with his mobile phone from time to time.

...

The weather in the mountains is changeable.

The sunset in the afternoon was still warm, and in the evening, the clouds piled up and thickened.

At night, when the sky was completely dark, there was rain in the sky, and it began to rain.

The rain fell on the banana tree mountain outside the yard, and fell on the bamboo forest in the mountain. At first, it was pattering, and then I heard waves of roaring mountain wind.

The howling and whimpering of the wind drowned out the sound of the rain.

Qiao Annian lay on the quilt specially made for him by the old man, covered with a cotton quilt, listening to the wind outside the house.

It was cold in the mountains and there was no heating. Qiao Annian had been lying in bed for a long time without warming up his hands and feet.

At this time, Qiao Annian especially missed He Nanlou whose body was always like a stove.

I don't know if Xiaolou is asleep now.

Xiaolou still hasn't responded to the message he sent in the afternoon.

Probably mad at him.

Qiao Annian originally wanted to make a phone call and ask, but he was a little bit hesitant.

Xiaolou was too smart, probably guessed that he was avoiding him these days.

He was afraid that Xiaolou would ask him directly on the phone what was going on, and he was afraid that his answer would not be perfect enough.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

On a night in the mountains, or a rainy night, hearing a knock on the door will inevitably make your heart skip a beat.

Qiao Annian heard from Sissy that the two old people had long since severed ties with their family members, and only a few old friends still kept in touch.

Since he is an old friend of the old man, he must not be too young, and it is unlikely that he will go up the mountain in the dark in the rain.

The road is slippery in rainy days, and most of the family members will not let the elders go out in this kind of weather, because it is too dangerous.

So, at this time, who will be knocking on the door?

"Who?"

Qiao Annian heard Xiao Qianqian's probing and vigilant voice.

The people outside did not answer.

"Cissy, you go into the house, grandpa will come and ask."

It was the voice of the old man Yue Qiming.

Qiao Annian was worried, he put on his clothes and came out of the room.

Yue Qiming walked to the door and raised his voice: "Who are you looking for? Talk to me!"

With a sullen face, Meng Haisheng took out a baseball-thick wooden stick from the room and stood beside Yue Qiming.

If people from outside dare to force their way in, he will fight with him!

The two old people were not too young, and Sissy was just a thin girl. Qiao Annian was also worried that something might go wrong.

Just in case, he also hurried to the door, ready to help at any time.

"I'm looking for Qiao Annian."
