why are they still in love

Halfway through the National Day holiday, the return peak has not yet arrived, and the major attractions are overcrowded.Xiaoxing'an Mountains and Changbai Mountains, where he often went to collect scenery when he was young, could no longer book suitable rooms, so Xiao Zhaoshan had to refund the air ticket to go north and go south instead.

After he was released from prison, he didn't go out to write a life story for more than ten years, so he was still in a daze when he left.

Chi Yan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and saw him sitting on the bed stool, lost in thought to the half-packed suitcase, so he walked over and knelt at the end of the bed and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"Not used to it?"

Xiao Zhaoshan withdrew his gaze, turned his face to kiss her back: "I was thinking about why I suddenly thought of going to collect music that day."

Chi Yan rested his chin on his shoulder, put his arm around his other arm, rubbed his ear with the tip of his nose, and said softly: "The wedding is beautifully arranged, you are itching."

Xiao Zhaoshan smiled noncommittally, hugged the warm body exuding the fragrance of shower gel into his arms, and said with regret: "I could have let you relieve the itching."

Thinking of the good thing that Xiao Chining disturbed yesterday, Chi Yan also curled his lips, and suggested: "After I finish my work in the processing factory, go on vacation, okay? Just the two of us, find a warm place."

Xiao Zhaoshan deliberately asked: "What if you are free and I am not?"

"Then let Xiao Ning go on vacation when you come back, with whomever you want."

Xiao Zhaoshan couldn't help laughing: "He's a high school senior."

There was a trace of surprise in Chi Yan's heart, but the smile on his face remained undiminished: "Is it important to us that he misses a few days of class?"

"It may be very important to him. He just said a while ago that he will start studying hard." Xiao Zhaoshan honestly relayed Xiao Chining's words to Chi Yan.

Chi Yan was even more surprised, and complained: "When did you father and son get along so well? I didn't see that he had this determination."

Sure enough, Xiao Zhaoshan confirmed that she had never taken the scene where he and Xiao Chining sang a harmony before, the three of them were acting in the same drama belonging to an ordinary family, he played the strict father, Chi Yan played the loving mother, Xiao Chi Ning plays Xiaoer.

"By the way, where did you finally find him last night?"

"Over there."

Chi Yan frowned: "Have you been drinking?"

Xiao Zhaoshan replied: "I'm also quite drunk, I guess I'll sleep until noon."

"Hey, what the hell is he trying to do." Chi Yan touched the black eyes under his eyes distressedly, "You can catch up on the plane later, it's really not good, take a rest for a day when you get to the place where you live, don't worry about it." I am in a hurry to sketch."

Xiao Zhaoshan didn't mention the fact that he was insomnia, but just grabbed her fingertips and put them on his lips to kiss her: "Don't tire yourself out these few days when I'm not here, you should eat and sleep."

Chi Yan raised his eyebrows with a smile: "I am so old, how can I not know how to eat and sleep?"

Xiao Zhaoshan put down her hand: "Don't speak too early, I know exactly how busy you are."

He looked down at his watch, and it was already a quarter past seven, so he held Chi Yan's shoulder and signaled her to get up: "Xiang, the new flight departs at 09:30, I have to go."

Xiao Zhaoshan stood up from the soft stool, bent down to pin her wet hair behind her ears, and said softly: "You should pack up and go out, and come back early to rest as soon as you finish your work."

Chi Yan took his hand: "All the luggage is packed? Bring more clothes, it's cold in the mountains."

"It's almost time to get another down jacket." Xiao Zhaoshan went to the cloakroom and found a short black down jacket, put it in the suitcase and zipped it up.

While changing clothes, Chi Yan turned around and asked, "Would you like to wait for me for a while and I'll see you off?"

Xiao Zhaoshan shook his head: "The road is congested, I'll take the airport express bus to go faster."

Chi Yan didn't insist, and went downstairs with him.As soon as the two of them walked to the living room, they bumped into Xiao Chining who was thirsty and woke up to drink water after half asleep.

Xiao Chining was still wearing the same outfit from last night, his face was pale and his lips were chapped, his swollen eyes could only squint because they couldn't adapt to the bright light, as if he hadn't woken up yet, he looked thin and haggard.

"Where are you going?" he asked hoarsely.

"Your father is going to the airport."

Xiao Chining stood on the spot and reacted for a long time before he dully remembered that Xiao Zhaoshan had said at the dinner table yesterday that he was going out to gather folk songs today.

"Where to go?"

When he asked this, Xiao Zhaoshan had already changed his shoes and opened the door.

Xiao Zhaoshan was in a hurry and interrupted his curiosity beforehand: "I only booked one plane ticket and one room."

At first he thought that Xiao Chining would have no room for further questioning, but he could easily guess that it was not Xiao Chining.

"I just asked where you were going."

Xiao Zhaoshan paused when he stepped out of the threshold, turned his head and gave him a sharp look, and finally dropped a place name that he had never heard of before.

After Chi Yan waited for the door to be closed, he turned around and walked in front of Xiao Chining: "Xiao Ning, don't you also want to travel? Where do you want to go, I will give you money, is 20 enough?"

Her voice was very soft, but Xiao Chining could hear the impatience.

"I can go anywhere I want?"

Chi Yan crossed his hands and nodded: "Well, if you have fun, you can stay a few more days, and if the teacher asks, you can ask her to call me."

Xiao Chining didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to drive him away.

"Are there any guests at home these days?" He asked with a pun.

Chi Yan smiled, raised his hand and thoughtfully pressed a strand of curled hair for him: "You don't look very happy, it's better to rest for a while, what do you think?"

Xiao Chining dodged unconsciously, and soon realized that this action was inappropriate, and took it abruptly.

"Okay." He lowered his head, "Thank you, Mom, for your concern."

It was almost sunset when Xiao Zhaoshan reached the hotel in the canyon.

He sat and slept for five hours on a bumpy ride, but couldn't fall asleep after lying down. He simply took a flashlight and a newly charged mobile phone and went to a small waterfall not far away.

The Tibetan owner, who was building a bonfire in the open space of the hotel, saw that he had just arrived and was about to go out, so he asked in broken Mandarin: "Do you have a guide? Without a guide, the road will be difficult to walk."

This place is located in the Hengduan Mountains. Although it has been used as a scenic spot for several years, the planning and development are really poor, the conditions are poor and the roads are dangerous, so few people come here for tourism.Xiao Zhaoshan also took Xiao Chining home and sat on the sofa to browse Moments for 10 minutes. Only then did he get a glimpse of this unpopularity from last year's news from his photographer friend who is keen on taking pictures of natural scenery.

The mountains, waters, and nights in the nine refined pictures are so beautiful that even if the man-made processing is left out in his mind, he can still move his mind.

So he immediately bought a plane ticket to the airport of a nearby prefecture-level city, endured the strange smell in the bus for two hours, walked another four kilometers, and finally checked into this mountain hotel that accepts online reservations and does not look that bad.

However, the planning was hasty, and no matter how meticulous he was, he didn't have time to find a career guide to guide him.

"I can't go very far, I will go to the waterfall behind." Xiao Zhaoshan replied to the boss.

The boss pointed to the sky: "You have to come back before it gets too dark. There are snakes in the mountains. Although they usually don't take the initiative to attack people, if you accidentally step on them if you don't see them, they will definitely bite you."

Xiao Zhaoshan came down, lowered his head to check the cuffs and trousers of the mountaineering suit, and left the hotel after confirming that everything was fastened.

Autumn in the city can be said to be "cool" at best, but early autumn in the mountains can already be regarded as "cold".He pulled the hood to resist the draft in the canyon, put his hands into the jacket and looked at the opposite waterfall.

He walked for 10 minutes in a short distance of [-] meters. At this time, the afterglow of the sun was no longer able to shine into the valley, and the saturation of the colorful tree crowns was obliterated, turning into an old photo covered with a layer of dark colors. , On the contrary, it makes the water flow whiter and brighter.

If the color of the painting is not used well, it will look dirty, but the inaccessible nature never does.

This is amazing, just like she never bothers to cater to the aesthetics that humans have evolved for hundreds of millions of years, and will always trample on the idea that humans claim to be the primates of all things.

This was one of the main reasons why he preferred painting landscapes to portraits.

He cannot stop imitating nature, even if this imitation is extremely clumsy and cannot restore one ten-thousandth of its charm.But he still longed.The deliberate breaks over the years are the price paid for a wrong choice at the beginning. He has endured it alone, and now it is enough to start again.

If it is necessary to find a clear deadline for this price, it is not the chat with Dong Xin, or the beautiful decoration of the beach wedding the day before yesterday, Xiao Zhaoshan thought, it should be after seeing the madness in Xiao Chining's eyes, yesterday Before realizing his attachment to home late.

Even though they were still a pair of strange father and son, he couldn't remain indifferent in front of the similar loneliness and undoubted blood relationship.

Just as he thought about it thoroughly, the phone in his bag buzzed and vibrated, and Xiao Zhaoshan took it out to take a look.

It's Xiao Chining.

He hesitated for a few seconds and took it.

"Father, Chi Yan gave me 20 yuan to travel to the places I want to go." Xiao Chining said bluntly, his tone sounded mocking, "So I'm almost at the place I want to go now."

Xiao Zhaoshan immediately had a very strange but certain intuition that the place Xiao Chining wanted to go was by his side.

"Where are you?"

He finally realized that since Xiao Chining came to Beijing, he has been practicing these words: did not wait for him at the airport in July, did not see him after the parent meeting, and couldn't find him drunk late at night due to insomnia.

And the self who was standing there all the time was ignorant of this a minute ago, and thought that Xiao Chining was a baby who was holding onto his fingers and could be disposed of by him.

"Where are you?" He lowered his tone.

Standing at the gate of the unfamiliar airport, Xiao Chining smiled and replied, "I'm on my way to your side, Dad."
