In the Same Boat

Tenderness is always short-lived, and Qu Yiheng realized this a long time ago.

This afternoon passed very slowly and quickly. He always felt that every movement and every conversation between each other was like a long shot of a movie, stretching the whole world very long, slow and romantic, as if all the plots It has to be extended infinitely, but in fact, the movie is only a few short hours in total.

In the evening, Qu Yiheng sent a message to Dou Yucong, telling him that he would not go back tonight.

Dou Yucong only replied to him with a mysterious smile and said nothing else.

When turning off the phone, Qu Yiheng looked at the time and subconsciously counted down how much time he had with Yao Zhan.

On this last night, Yao Zhan was so gentle that he almost melted Qu Yiheng. He had spent several days together like this, but it seemed that nothing was enough.

Qu Yiheng's back was uncomfortable, but Yao Zhan was infinitely considerate. In the end, the two enjoyed the easiest and hardest happiness together.

Yao Zhan stroked Qu Yiheng's sweat-soaked hair and asked him, "Are you tired?"

Qu Yiheng smiled, and tears rolled down his eyes.

"Fortunately."

He moved forward, and the two hugged each other like this, and they opened their eyes until dawn.

This is the first time Yao Zhan has this feeling that he doesn't want to leave a place or a person.

It's really wonderful, they have been separated for 15 years, and they have been together day and night for only five or six days, but he is so fascinated by this person, this feeling has never been seen before.

In fact, he really wanted to think about it, whether he was interested in Qu Yiheng 15 years ago as Shao Wei said, but he didn't realize it at that time. In the following years, the seeds of love have always been there, but they just grew slowly. Slower, and it has not grown into a sapling for a long time, so I don't know whose name is engraved on the trunk.

But he didn't have time to think about it, he was busy remembering everything about Qu Yiheng now.

"I have something to give you." At six o'clock, the two got up to pack up, and Qu Yiheng said after getting dressed, "There is still time, let's go back to my house."

Yao Zhan was very pleasantly surprised, he never expected that Qu Yiheng would give him something.

The two dragged their luggage to Qu Yiheng's house. Once they entered the house, Dou Yucong hadn't left yet.

"Hey, is this going to live in?" Dou Yucong looked at Yao Zhan's suitcase and laughed casually.

"I really want to." Yao Zhan joked with him, "The plane is waiting, I have to go back."

Dou Yucong looked at him clearly, then looked back at his brother who had entered the bedroom.

"Pity."

"What a pity?" Yao Zhan asked.

"It's okay." Dou Yucong worked overtime today, and it was too late, so he quickly packed up his things and went out. Before he left, he asked Yao Zhan, "Handsome guy, will you come again?"

Yao Zhan hesitated for a moment: "Probably."

"That's fine, you have to keep your word." Dou Yucong ran away, leaving Yao Zhan there wondering if Qu Yiheng had said something to Dou Yucong.

When Qu Yiheng came out, he was holding a black painting tube in his hand. He handed it to Yao Zhan with some embarrassment and said, "Actually, it's not something valuable, and it's not important. Maybe you don't like it either..."

"How do you know I don't like it?" Yao Zhan took it with a smile, "I have to go back and have a look."

Qu Yiheng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yao Zhan didn't just say "like" casually in order to make him happy, otherwise he might feel more embarrassed.

"Did you draw it?" Yao Zhan didn't open it, and followed Qu Yiheng to drag the surname Li to the airport.

"Hmm." Qu Yiheng said, "The painting is not good."

"If you can't say it's not objective, I have to do it." Yao Zhan looked at him, "When I get back, I'll take a good look and give you an objective evaluation."

Qu Yiheng smiled, his face was flushed, and his ears were also red.

There were many people at the airport, and Qu Yiheng was a little irritable.

Yao Zhan completed the check-in procedures early and checked in his luggage, but he carried the painting on his back, and he was reluctant to check it in with his luggage.

The two stood at the security checkpoint and didn't speak for a while.

Later Yao Zhan said: "Before, your brother asked me if I would come."

Qu Yiheng paused for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "How did you answer?"

"I said yes." Yao Zhan raised his hand to straighten his hair, "If you want to go, I welcome it too."

Qu Yiheng looked up at him and smiled.

"By the way, there is something else, very important." Yao Zhan took out his mobile phone, "We are also acquaintances, right? Can I have the honor to leave your phone number?"

When he said this, he looked at Qu Yiheng with a smile, making him feel that he couldn't tell what it was like.

Qu Yiheng began to report his mobile phone number.

Yao Zhan survived and called him again.

"Then, you save mine too?"

Qu Yiheng nodded: "Okay."

There is nothing to say, Yao Zhan is going to go to the security check.

"You go back," Yao Zhan said, "One last hug?"

Qu Yiheng didn't expect that he would make such a request. There are so many people at the airport, it would be strange for two big men to embrace each other.

Yao Zhan didn't care whether he agreed or not, he stepped forward and hugged Qu Yiheng.

He pressed Qu Yiheng's ear and said softly, "The answer is blowing in the wind, right?"

Qu Yiheng froze.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Yao Zhan straightened up and said to him, "See you next time."

Yao Zhan left, but Qu Yiheng didn't go home immediately.

He found a coffee shop at the airport, drank a cup of coffee, and fell asleep on his stomach.

I don't know why, but I just don't want to go back.

He lay on the table and looked at the planes taking off outside, knowing that the one carrying Yao Zhan had already flown away, and he didn't know if he would land here again in a certain plane one day.

Qu Yiheng understood that he didn't want to go home, he just couldn't bear Yao Zhan.

The past few days are like a dream, he has never been so presumptuous before, now that the other party is gone, it is a bit deserted after the excitement, he needs to calm down.

Qu Yiheng sat in the coffee shop and reviewed the chat records of the class group. Everyone had already booked a trip on November [-], saying they were going to Rome.

Shao Wei was counting the list of people who could go, but Qu Yiheng didn't get involved.

He didn't plan to go, there are so many people, and he hardly knows him, so why join in the fun?Moreover, he doesn't even have a passport.

These years, he didn't go anywhere, and he was fine at home. If he went abroad, he would have to apply for any documents temporarily, and he was even more reluctant.

During the week Yao Zhan was here, he hardly read the group news. Now the other party left. He sat here and read one by one, and saw that the lunch time had passed.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, his cell phone rang suddenly.

This time it was not WeChat, not SMS, but a phone call.

The caller is Yao Zhan.

When Qu Yiheng looked at the name, he was so nervous that his heart was shaking. He guessed that the other person just got off the plane at this moment, but he didn't expect that person to call immediately.

He was nervous and didn't know what to say after answering the phone.

"Hey."

Yao Zhan said with a smile in his voice, "I'm getting off the plane."

"Ah."

It was a voice from more than 1000 kilometers away. Through the radio waves, it seemed that it was not quite like Yao Zhan's original voice, but he knew it was him when he heard it again.

Qu Yiheng smiled unconsciously, and asked the other party: "Are you tired?"

"Tired." Yao Zhan said, "I'm waiting for my luggage, I'll go back later, take a shower and sleep."

Qu Yiheng didn't know what to say.

"What are you doing?" Yao Zhan asked.

"I..." Qu Yiheng came back to his senses and lied, "I'm going to draw."

Listening to his voice, Yao Zhan felt something was wrong, but he didn't think too much about it, and asked him, "Then am I bothering you?"

"No." Qu Yiheng said quickly, "Don't bother."

Yao Zhan smiled, he could hear Qu Yiheng's nervousness.

Since you are nervous, does it mean that the other party cares about you?

"It's raining again here." Yao Zhan said, "I didn't bring an umbrella."

Qu Yiheng pursed his lips, and said for a while, "Then, are there any umbrella sellers at the airport?"

Yao Zhan laughed and said, "Shao Wei came to pick me up."

When Qu Yiheng heard him laugh, he stopped talking.

The luggage came out, Yao Zhan dragged the luggage in one hand and held the phone in the other, and there was a painting that Qu Yiheng gave him hanging on his shoulder.

"I didn't see Shao Wei's son when you came last time. He is a very fat and cute boy." Yao Zhan said, "Next time you come, I will bring it out for you to play with."

Qu Yiheng smiled: "I can't get along with children."

"It's okay, that's my godson, you can knead/knead it any way you want."

Yao Zhan's words made Qu Yiheng laugh straight away: "You make it sound like children are toys."

"Almost, children are more interesting than toys." Yao Zhan went out from the exit and saw Shao Wei waiting for him outside holding his son.

He took two quick steps: "I saw Shao Wei."

"Then let's talk about it later."

"Don't hang up yet," Yao Zhan said, "wait a minute."

Shao Wei and his son also saw him, the little fat man refused to let his father hug him, rolled down grumblingly, and ran towards his godfather.

Yao Zhan pulled the child aside and stood aside, squatted down and said to the little fat man, "Qiqi is here to say hello to Uncle Qu."

The little fat man shouted into the phone, "Hello, Uncle Qu!"

"It's Uncle Qu." Yao Zhan corrected him, "Start again."

The little fat man snorted, "Hello, Uncle Qu!"

Yao Zhan smiled, pinched the little fat man's face in satisfaction, and then put the phone back to his ear: "Did you hear that?"

Qu Yiheng smiled so much that his eyes were bent: "It's so cute."

"It's cute too." Yao Zhan said, "When do you come, let him greet you face to face."

Qu Yiheng's smile gradually faded, he didn't know when they would meet again.

Shao Wei came over and helped Yao Zhan with his luggage.

Yao Zhan said to Qu Yiheng: "That's it for now, we are going to go back, we will contact you later."

"Well, have a good rest."

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Yao Zhan's face was still there.

Shao Wei gave a "tsk", and said to his son: "See, you are going to have a godmother."

"Stop talking nonsense." Yao Zhan picked up the little fat man and walked out. The little fat man fiddled with the painting tube curiously. Shao Wei asked, "What is it?"

Yao Zhan replied, "It's a token of love from Qiqi's godmother."
