It is clear

In order to arrive at Xining earlier, the departure time is also set extra early.

It's just that I didn't expect that there was a long queue at the entrance of the expressway, full of big goods waiting to continue running.

The car was forced to stop at the same spot, Tan Yu simply turned off the engine, and got up early with Xu Yan.

He didn't know what Xu Yan liked to eat, so he bought some at KFC and Sister Mi's Baozi Shop, combining Chinese and Western food, without any delay.

Xu Yan took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun with a latte in his hand, his eyes lit up as he chewed out the aroma inside: "Is this from Sister Mi's house?"

Tan Yu nodded.

"I love their buns the most. Where did you buy them?"

"It's in the back alley of your house."

It had been less than 24 hours since he moved to his new home, Xu Yan only thought that the side he walked through was the only entrance, but he didn't expect that the alley was actually connected.

He didn't believe it, so he took out his mobile phone and searched the map for a long time. When he found the truth, he let out an "ah" and asked, "Have you finished walking the alley we walked that day?"

"It's over." Tan Yu ate his leftover hamburger, "Dead End."

"It's a good thing I didn't go with you." Xu Yan pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes still looking at Tan Yu restlessly.

Tan Yuzao caught his eyes and let him hold back a smile.It happened that the big guy in front finally moved, so he quickly stuffed the hamburger into Xu Yan's hand, barely getting through the gap between the two carts.

After such a loosening, they finally got out of the traffic queue to the entrance, and this was the real departure.

Xu Yan is someone who absolutely can't do without breakfast, and after eating his own steamed stuffed bun, he got worried about Tan Yu's stomach.

He carefully folded the hamburger paper, leaving only one bite of hamburger: "If I feed you, will it affect your driving?"

Tan Yu didn't answer, opened his mouth, and turned his face a little more.

It was the first time for the two to cooperate like this, but they also completed a difficult burger.

A little extra sauce got on Xu Yan's hand, he stuck out the tip of his tongue, and squinted his eyes because of the sweetness of the sauce: "I didn't like hamburgers when I was young, and I thought the taste of the sauce was weird."

His expression just now didn't look like he still felt the smell was strange, Tan Yu asked: "And then?"

"At that time, I went to the teacher's house to learn calligraphy, and every night after class at nine o'clock, the road home was full of supper stalls." Xu Yan folded the hamburger paper, "My dad sometimes came to pick me up, always with my mom's tasks Come on. Once my mother wanted to eat a hamburger, and we both bought a new product from KFC at the time, which seemed to be cumin or some kind of burger, so we bought one, and my mother gave us both a bite, it was really delicious."

This was the first time Xu Yan mentioned his parents, with a smile on his face unconsciously, even the bottom of his hands were extremely gentle, he even touched the paper twice after folding the hamburger paper.

He went on to say: "My mother still likes to eat chicken feet. At that time, it was really expensive. It cost several tens of catties. Just buy a little. She eats it well, and we both taste it."

"On our street, there is no small shop that our family of three has never eaten."

Tan Yu didn't have such kind family memories. He set the cruise control and said enviously, "I also ate out when I was young, but it's not a gentle memory."

"Then where are your tender memories?"

Tan Yu could think of some fragments, but it was difficult to grab them.He smiled wryly and shook his head: "I really can't remember. Everyone in Sanmi knows that the two brothers opened the Lehe Supermarket. In fact, the boss didn't do any fart. My dad is that fart."

"Your father is the boss!" Xu Yan laughed, "I've heard of it too, it's just some family secret."

"There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, like many people, my dad has spent his whole life in a daze, but he has never been smart for a day."

"I know this kind of person, my grandfather is!"

How can anyone say that this kind of thing is still exciting.

Tan Yu held the steering wheel and coughed to hide his smile. He failed. He smiled and said, "This kind of elder is a disaster. You can't get over it until he dies. You can only learn to get used to it and deal with it."

"I think so too." Xu Yan nodded and asked again, "What about your brother?"

"My brother..." Tan Yu tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, "He is like my uncle, he is a very capable person, very powerful, and able to handle things. I can't even remember if he is very tired now When I was young, it seemed that I was born to be the head of a family like ours."

"Sister Hui also told me..." Xu Yan stopped the conversation in time, and didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.

But Tan Yu seemed to know what the second half of the sentence he didn't say was. He overtook a large truck and said flatly: "Sister Hui said that he killed himself, right?"

Xu Yan looked at him silently.

"His last trip was to Xinjiang, and my sister-in-law's due date happened to be the day of the return trip. He was impatient and drove too fast on the way there. He was thrown from the car and hit a rock."

There are many tunnels on the road from Sanmi City to the north. Tan Yu was talking when the car passed a camera and entered the tunnel.

Speed ​​brakes were laid on the ground, and the vehicles passed by, stepping on and wailing.

He said: "At that moment, I thought, good people don't stay long, why don't those people always leave."

As soon as the words fell, the front of the car passed the exit of the tunnel, and there was another camera.

Xu Yan was suddenly a little dazed. He looked around and smiled: "Yeah, I often think, especially when you have experienced the good, it is very difficult to accept the bad. It is really difficult. Difficult, but necessary."

The mood had sunk irretrievably to rock bottom, but it wasn't uncomfortable.

Tan Yu's eyes were always on the road, and Xu Yan would occasionally tilt his head to look at him. He didn't even know what he was looking at, but he was very satisfied.

After driving for about two hours, the car entered the first large service area.

It's not a holiday, and there are still many cars in the service area. The weather is a bit cold, and the people who got off all took off their coats and put them on casually.

Xu Yan didn't bother to put on his coat, so he poured water and stood beside the car to smoke. From a distance, he saw Tan Yu enter the supermarket after making a phone call, and then came out with a bag full of drinks.

"The supplier has something to do, we have to drive to Xining in one go." Tan Yu also lit a cigarette, "I'm tired, Teacher Xu."

Xu Yan searched for the route before leaving, and it took more than twelve hours all the way at high speed without stopping. He can't drive, and Tan Yu drove there alone, and he still had to work...

He didn't say a word, but a distressed expression floated on his face first.

Tan Yu decided to put this expression into his tender memories, and hooked his chin: "It's okay, it's okay to rest after finishing the work. It's just that I can't go to those scenic spots on the way. Let's come back..."

Xu Yan interrupted him: "If you talk about it again, I'm going to cry."

That is to say, until the point is reached, each smoked a cigarette, and then returned to the road.

To say that Xu Yan had a relaxed mind before, but now he is a little nervous again.There are still more than ten hours to go, Tan Yu needless to say, he, the co-pilot, also needs to be vigilant.

He unscrewed the bottle of coffee and put it aside.

When Tan Yu saw it, he was a little surprised, and asked, "Don't you want to drink?"

"I'll get ready first." Xu Yan put the garbage bag on the floor mat, "In the past when our family went out, my mother and I would serve my father to drink refreshing drinks. I'm used to it."

Tan Yu smiled: "Then who are you today?"

... Either a son or a wife, Xu Yan gave him a light look: "Who is cheap to copy!"

"That is, I don't have a son as old as you."

It was past noon when I parked in the service area with my "husband".

The further west he went, the drier it became, and Xu Yan could clearly feel the moisture content in the air drop.The temperature was also a little lower, he took out his coat, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Tan Yu to the restaurant.

Already at the junction of Gansu and Ningxia, the diet is obviously biased towards the Northwest style.

The two ordered a portion of stuffed skin and two bowls of noodles, and it took only five or six minutes to eat them head to head. After wiping their mouths, they seemed to be able to continue on their way.

Tan Yu really didn't feel tired, but he still felt that he hadn't paid enough back. He bought a bag of goji berries at the souvenir supermarket, and then he refueled willingly and continued on his way.

The two-hour road at noon is not easy to walk.

Just when he was sleepy, Xu Yan didn't dare to yawn to affect Tan Yu, so he held back the tears in his eyes, sniffing and sniffing like he had a cold.

He drank half a can of Red Bull and regretted not smoking a cigarette with dinner.Turning his head to look at Tan Yu, the other party was still focused, not tired.

"Did anyone say..." Xu Yan said after deliberating, "You are also a very powerful person."

Tan Yu raised half of his eyebrows to look at him in surprise, and after a few seconds, he said "um", "But it's not a positive image."

That's right, just what Xu Yan has heard recently, either that he was out of business, or that he took advantage of his sister-in-law to take over the position, and talking about the past is not a glorious thing.

He coughed lightly: "Sister Hui told me several times about you, saying that you and your brother are different people."

"Of course it's different. For the same thing, no one dares to move when my brother stands there. I have to slash my arm first to calm people down." Tan Yu laughed until his body trembled. He turned on the radio, "Who isn't You can’t compare this time with that time.”

"Really a knife?" Xu Yan looked at his arm.

Tan Yu stopped laughing: "I'm lying to you, I am also a legitimate Tan family member, who would dare?"

Su Yang's song is being played on the radio.

The text message is a welcome message from Ningxia Tourism Bureau.

Xu Yan lowered the car window by a line, and couldn't help but look around Tan Yu's arm a few times, but he still didn't continue, and hummed along with the radio.

Sing in the song: You let me smell the piercing fragrance.

Xu Yan sniffed, and felt silly in the end, so he patted the tip of his nose lightly.

He hasn't heard the songs after that, he just put his hands on the window sill to beat the beat.

Time is entangled with the highway that seems to never go to the end, and the sun's light has also changed from warm to lingering.

I don't know when, Xu Yan fell asleep in a daze. He didn't sleep deeply. Occasionally, when he opened his eyes, he could see the place names on the blue road signs constantly changing.

But he still fell asleep inevitably, the speed of the car dropped suddenly, and he woke up suddenly.

After passing a few speed bumps, Xu Yan saw the sign hanging upstairs, saying that they had arrived in Lanzhou.

Tan Yu went around to his side, supporting the door frame to wake him up.

Only then did his consciousness return to his body, and he was fed a mouthful of cold Red Bull, but he didn't know who was the one who was driving hard.

The setting sun in the distance has almost disappeared from the horizon, leaving only a little orange halo lying on the ground.

Xu Yan supported the car door and stood up, with his mouth open for a long time unable to speak, he turned his head to look at Tan Yu, and couldn't help hugging him.

"Is it beautiful?" Tan Yu asked.

beautiful!Of course it is beautiful!

In front of you is an artificially built service area, which is full of people on the road.

But looking up a little, the horizon is the sinking sky and the disappearing sunset, not so pure blue and yellow are intertwined, the boundary cannot be found, and the starting point of each is blurred.

The stars and the moon here are already at work time, and the color of the sunset over there fades layer by layer. Like a natural lover, the sunset and night sky embellish this moment.

Xu Yan started to kiss Tan Yu's earlobe, and finally stopped at the corner of his lips, dragging him back into the car.

Like two newly born savages, they exchanged a long kiss in the cramped passenger seat.

Standing up again, the sky was already completely dark.

There was a wound on Tan Yu's lip from the bump just now.

Xu Yan saw it, licked it again, and squinted his eyes at the slight smell of rust.

Without saying anything, the two continued to move forward in silence.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Xining, and no one was hungry, so we went straight to the room.

Xu Yan asked Tan Yu to take a bath first, and he stayed outside to smoke.

In other words, he wanted to be calm and calm.

Maybe it was the beautiful sunset in Lanzhou, maybe Tan Yu made him too curious, maybe it was that kiss that caused the trouble, until now, he can feel his heart still beating excessively.

It's not that he has never been in love, nor is it that he has never loved someone from the bottom of his heart, but only Tan Yu...

He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, trying to put away all his fussy thoughts, but in a blink of an eye, he saw people taking a bath in the translucent glass bathroom of the hotel.

After quickly cursing obscenities in his heart, Xu Yan turned his back and lit another cigarette.

When the cigarette was half burned, he suddenly realized that if he likes it, he says he likes it, and if he wants to love him, he loves him. This is the most primitive code of conduct for human beings. Why should he make things difficult for himself?

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Tan Yu stepped out wrapped in a towel.

Xu Yan was still holding the half cigarette, the window was half open, and the night wind blowing in lit up the sparks, which further highlighted his astonishingly bright eyes at the moment.

He stared at Tan Yu, his heart beating like a drum: "I, I, I..."

"Why are you still stuttering?" Tan Yu threw the towel on the bed, and just a few steps away, he took Xu Yan's cigarette, lowered his eyes and bit the filter, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Yan's eagerness to confide was gone, his eyes were filled with the light of joy, and this light returned to Tan Yu along his eyes: "I said in my heart, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you." Tan Yu took the cigarette away, "I like you."
