Overspill

Almost halfway through the summer vacation, Xu Cheng and Fang Ruqing went back to Wutan Town.

Originally, Xu Cheng planned to go as soon as the holiday was over, but his brother Xu Si'an didn't know what kind of crazy he was, so on the first day of the holiday, he threw a low-key and plain suit and an intern name tag to him, and let him Immediately go to work at the company.

Xu Cheng deeply suspected that his brother just couldn't see himself and Fang Ru having a quiet meeting.

But he cried, made trouble and hanged himself three times, but he failed to overcome his brother's iron-fisted policy. Xu Cheng could only start his one-month internship with tears in his eyes, fighting for elevators with people in suits and shoes every day.

But he didn't suffer any grievances during his internship.

No one in the group knew that he was the president's younger brother.But he was sweet and cheerful, good-looking, even though he was wearing a suit and looked like a student, he succeeded in becoming the mascot of the group, everyone likes to pat his head twice and give him a piece of snacks.

And when he got off work, his top ten best boyfriends would be waiting for him at the door, and he was handsome and charming every time he stopped there, which really added luster to his brother's company.

Every time he goes out after get off work, Xu Cheng is always impressed by his boyfriend.

A female colleague in the company even asked him, Chengna, where did you find such a handsome boyfriend?

Xu Cheng proudly showed his small white teeth when he heard the words, "Pick them up on the road!"

The female colleague twitched the corner of her mouth and pinched his face: "...Thank you for sending me the address of the picker, I'll go tomorrow."

But no matter what, although this month was suffering, it passed quickly anyway.

On the last day of the internship, Xu Cheng rushed into his brother's office arrogantly, threw the name tag of the intern on his brother's desk, "I quit, goodbye!"

Then, before his brother could react, he rushed out of the company and jumped into Fang Ruqing's car.

The next day, he and Fang Ruqing drove onto the highway and headed towards Wutan Town.

His brother called and scolded him, so he turned on the speakerphone, eating snacks and getting angry at his brother.

"Oh brother, why are you so angry. You should understand the truth that my brother is not allowed to stay. Don't be angry. I won't go back next month... What? Cut off my pocket money? Cut it off, my husband If I have money, he will support me."

Xu Cheng has no fear.

Fang Ruqing drove the car, listening to Xu Cheng beep all the way, and finally couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

But Xu Si'an on the other end of the phone was almost pissed to death by this unscrupulous thing, he said grimly, "Xu Cheng, are you a f***ing wing, don't come back if you have the guts."

Xu Cheng shrank his neck, feeling that his brother was really angry with him.

He looked at the duration of the call, and heard his brother gnashing his teeth on the other side. For the sake of his own and Fang Ruqing's life, he decided to accept it as soon as he saw it, "Brother, the signal here seems to be bad, so I'll hang up first~ You are at home with Xiao Lan." Brother, live a two-person world well, don’t think about me, I love you~”

He also clicked on the phone, then hung up the phone quickly and turned it to silent.

Throwing the phone aside, Xu Cheng lay down on his seat again. They were almost at Wutan Town, the sun was shining outside, and buildings with green tiles and white walls could already be seen on both sides of the road, and there was a winding river in front of the door.

Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes, slightly absent-minded.

After three years, he came back here again.

This is the place where he and Fang Ruqing met by mistake, and it is also the place where everything started.

But his memory has not fully recovered, as if covered with a layer of veil, it is always a bit hazy and unrecognizable.

He still remembered the hotel where he stayed in Wutan Town, the square where he and Fang Ruqing kissed, and the big countdown clock on the square, but he couldn't remember the distribution in Wutan Town.

"Are we still staying in the same hotel?" Xu Cheng asked lazily.

"Well, it's still the same room."

Fang Ruqing's car had already driven into Wutan Town, and his car passed by an alley. Xu Cheng was lying down, but straightened up when he saw the alley.

Fang Ruqing noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Cheng was still lying on the glass window looking out, and when Fang Ruqing asked him, he bit his lower lip, "It's nothing, I saw a shop selling snacks."

He lied.

The reason why he sat up subconsciously was because he remembered the entrance of the alley, and there was a dilapidated stone lion at the exit of the alley, which was less than 1000 meters away from their hotel.At the beginning, he just fell there, watching Fang Ruqing's back disappear, disappeared...

But as the car gradually drove away, even though Fang Ruqing drove very slowly after entering the town, the alley and the stone lion were quickly left behind and gradually disappeared.

Xu Cheng exhaled lightly.

He blinked his eyelashes, thinking, it's all over.

At this time, the car also stopped, Fang Ruqing put down the handbrake and said, "We're at the hotel."

Xu Cheng got out of the car and took a look, his eyes were a little confused, and he asked, "Did this hotel look like this in the first place? Why do I feel that something is wrong."

Fang Ruqing took their luggage down and explained, "This place has been renovated in the second year, and the environment is better than before."

"Oh." Xu Cheng was a little inexplicably disappointed, but he didn't say anything, and followed Fang Ruqing into the lobby.

The girl at the front desk was no longer the one who secretly disclosed information to Xu Cheng three years ago. It was replaced by a girl who was also young and had a sweet smile. She stood there in a black uniform and looked very energetic.

She obviously knew Fang Ruqing, and the moment she saw Fang Ruqing walking to the front desk, she smiled, which was a little more enthusiastic than the business-like smile.

She smiled and asked, "Did you come here this year as a guest?"

Fang Ruqing said "Yes", and Xu Cheng looked between them curiously.

She noticed Xu Cheng standing next to Fang Ruqing, showing a little surprised expression, but then she seemed to think of something, smiled a little more enthusiastically, and said to Xu Cheng, "Hi, welcome. .”

Fang Ruqing pushed his and Xu Cheng's ID cards over and said, "You two, the room is still 0307."

The lady at the front desk was very quick to handle things, and quickly completed the formalities, and handed over the room card, "It's a pleasant stay for two people."

She watched Fang Ruqing and Xu Cheng go to the elevator side by side, and saw Xu Cheng turned his head, with a delicate and small face, and asked Fang Ruqing with a smile, he looked like a very sweet boy.

But Fang Ruqing seemed to have no expression on his face, but there was an indescribable tenderness in his expression, as if the person in front of him was all he had in this world.

She looked at it and couldn't help but also smiled.

The colleagues around her saw her like this and asked curiously, "What's the matter, why are you in a daze?"

The lady at the front desk shook her head, she knew that this colleague was new here.

"It's nothing. It's just that since I joined the job the year before last, that tall boy has been here for two consecutive winters. He has reserved a room here for a long time and has kept it the same." The lady at the front desk said.

She remembered that she saw Fang Ruqing for the first time two years ago. It was on a winter night. Fang Ruqing walked in from the outside in a hurry. He was obviously alone and only had a black package beside him, but he stayed in the biggest suite in the hotel.

While handling Fang Ruqing's affairs, she couldn't help looking at him a few times. He was such a handsome and elegant boy, but his face was colder than the frost and snow outside, and his eyes were extremely cold, as if nothing could arouse his interest.

Why did he come to Wutan Town?She thought secretly, but she just communicated with Fang Ruqing in a business-like manner.

Later, she always pays more attention to this boy unconsciously.

She noticed that sometimes he would sit alone in the hall, drink a cup of black coffee, and leave after drinking, as if he was out of touch with the outside world.

She also noticed that he stayed in the hotel for only seven days a year, the same amount of time.

"I didn't know why he came at first, and I didn't know why he must live in that room. Later, I had an accidental communication, and then I realized that he came to find someone." The lady at the front desk smiled and said in a low voice, "Actually This matter has nothing to do with me, but I always want to know, has the person he was looking for been found?"

After the girl at the front desk said this, the next guest came to check in.

While receiving her, she secretly thought in her heart that she must have found it.

Because there were two people who just came to go through the formalities.In this sunny and warm July, let's walk side by side together.

She couldn't help but smiled, thinking, that's great.

He still got his wish.

Xu Cheng took the room card and opened the room, but stood at the door for several seconds without entering.

He looked up at Fang Ruqing, smiled a little weakly, "Why am I so nervous?"

Fang Ruqing looked at him, took his hand and put it on the door, with a light push, the door opened, revealing the same room behind as it was three years ago.

The hotel has been renovated, but the furnishings in this suite are as before, as if time has been stopped.

Xu Cheng saw the bamboo-leaf patterned wallpaper, two side-by-side beds, which were put together by someone and turned into a double bed.It was covered with a lake-blue bed sheet, which was clean, with a white plum blossom pattern on it.

The window was wide open, and the white veil curtains fluttered in the breeze. Obviously, there would be no plum blossoms in this season, but Xu Cheng knew that there were a few plum blossoms planted under the window, and bright yellow ones would bloom in winter. The flowers are almost transparent, with a light and long-lasting fragrance.

Fang Ruqing walked in holding Xu Cheng's hand, Xu Cheng followed him in a daze, until he was standing in the middle of the room, he seemed to come back to his senses.

He looked at Fang Ruqing standing in front of him, and swallowed.

After three years, he stood here again.

In fact, it was more than three years, he clearly remembered that he and Fang Ruqing separated, three years and seven months.

From the moment he walked in, the memory fragments that had been silent in his mind seemed to be activated again, flashing before his eyes continuously.

He really wanted to say something, but before he could speak, his eyes turned red again, and tears rolled down unexpectedly, which surprised even himself.

He looked at Fang Ruqing through foggy eyes. Fang Ruqing stood in the sun, tall and handsome, but when he looked at it, his vision was blurred. He vaguely saw Fang Ruqing who was just three years ago. He was extraordinarily tolerant and gentle.

He choked up, and Fang Ruqing gave a difficult smile and said, "I'm sorry, I came back three years late."

Fang Ruqing came over and hugged him tightly.

Xu Cheng didn't cry for long this time. He sat in Fang Ruqing's arms, hugged Fang Ruqing like a koala, wiped his tears on his shirt unceremoniously, then raised his head, and groaned like a child, "I want Go out to play, but I don't know the way, you have to take me with you."

Fang Ruqing smiled helplessly, "I obey."

But when it comes to going out to play, Wutan Town, a small town, has nothing special except for its beautiful scenery.

Xu Cheng and Fang Ruqing were walking hand in hand in the streets and alleys, thinking that three years ago, he and Fang Ruqing ran away from home, and the other fell out with the family, but by accident, they both came to this small town that is not a tourist hotspot at all. , I have to say that there is an element of fate.

But being a non-tourist hotspot also has its benefits.

Come back after three years, the changes here are not too big.

Xu Cheng vaguely picked up a milk tea shop from his memory. He remembered that there was a handmade milk tea shop in this small town that was particularly delicious. It opened in a small alley with stone gray walls. There was a willow tree at the entrance of the alley, so delicious. In this place where you don’t have to queue for meals, you have to queue for milk tea instead.

Three years ago, he always let Fang Ruqing buy it every time.

Three years later he is still the same.

Xu Cheng squatted at the entrance of the alley, looking at the willow tree that had already turned green in summer. In the past three years, he had always dreamed of this willow tree and that chubby orange cat lying on the wall.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a few meows coming from around him, trying his best to be coquettish and flattering.

Xu Cheng looked down and was happy.

There were two orange cats, one big and one small, spread out at his feet. They were both chubby, not afraid of people at all, meowing at him, very familiar.

Xu Cheng grinningly stretched out his hand to rub it twice, "I haven't seen you for three years, why are you still so fat? Is the little one next to you your baby? He's so round at a young age, I'm afraid he won't be in the third grade, that's not okay... ..."

Fortunately, the cat couldn't understand what the young human being was talking about, but felt that his approach was gentle and made the cat very comfortable to touch, so it rubbed against Xu Cheng intimately, until his sleeves were covered in hair.

Fang Ruqing came back with milk tea, and there was a bag next to the milk tea, which contained red bean milk cake.

He saw Xu Cheng squatting at the entrance of the alley petting the cat at a glance. He walked over and put the warm bag containing milk cakes on Xu Cheng's face.

Xu Cheng looked up at him and smiled.

Just like three years ago.

"Let's go, we've bought everything." Fang Ruqing said.

Xu Cheng stood up and said goodbye to the two orange cats.

Xu Cheng sipped his milk tea, and walked to the square where they counted down the New Year with Fang Ruqing.

It's also where they had their first kiss.

It was not the New Year at this time, and it was broad daylight. There were no people in the square, but there were a few sparrows hopping around, picking a few grass seeds from the cracks in the bricks to eat.

Xu Cheng and Fang Ruqing were sitting on a stone bench under the shade of a tree. Although it was scorching hot in July, this small town was still cool, and the shade of the tree was even more breezy.

After Xu Cheng finished his milk tea, he rolled his eyes and discussed with Fang Ruqing.

He reached out and hugged Fang Ruqing, and asked, "This handsome guy, your boyfriend wants to kiss you, so let's relive our first kiss, okay?"

Fang Ruqing didn't speak.

He turned his face and told Xu Cheng with practical actions, yes.

In this deserted corner, under the afternoon sun, Fang Ruqing tasted the mint milk tea and sweet milk cake in Xu Cheng's mouth.

After wandering outside all day and having supper, Xu Cheng and Fang Ruqing finally returned to the hotel.

It was getting late, Xu Cheng and Fang Ru went to bed after taking a shower.

After exercising before going to bed, Xu Cheng lay on his side on the bed, circling Fang Ruqing's chest with his fingers.

His body is very tired, but his mind is very clear.

"Fang Ruqing, I want to eat that Yuji's breakfast tomorrow, and I want to eat their small buns, fried cakes, and tofu nao," Xu Cheng said softly. He didn't look at Fang Ruqing, "It was three years ago. The one you bought me."

After Xu Cheng finished speaking, the room was quiet for a long time.

There was the sound of insects chirping outside the window, which was especially clear in the silent night.

He waited for quite a while before Fang Ruqing said, "OK."

Xu Cheng hooked the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes.

The next morning, Fang Ruqing went out.

Unlike three years ago, this time it was a midsummer morning. There was no snow on the road, but it was refreshing.But the fighting power of the uncles and aunts was as fierce as before, and they unceremoniously drove away the young man, trying to buy breakfast first.

Fang Ruqing was silent for two seconds, stretched out his arms, passed over the heads of the two uncles and aunts who joined his team, passed the mobile phone to scan the QR code, and quickly reported a series of food that Xu Cheng wanted to eat. Glaring, he carried it and left early.

He walked quickly, the breakfast in his hand was still hot, when he just came out, Xu Cheng was already rubbing his eyelids, half asleep and half awake.

He walked into the hotel, took the elevator upstairs, and walked outside the door of 0307.

However, the moment he took out his room card, he hesitated just like Xu Cheng yesterday.

His eyelashes drooped slightly, and many images appeared in his mind.

In the past three years, he dreamed countless times that the moment he opened the door three years ago——

The room was empty.

It was as if no one had been lying on the put together double bed. The clean blue sheets were neatly spread, without even a single crease.

The sun shines in from the window, making the house bright and hurting people's eyes.

Three minutes later, Fang Ruqing pushed open the door,

He went in.

The room was not empty.

I saw a person lying on the lake-blue bed, wearing a long dark green nightgown, his hair was uncombed and disheveled, but his cheeks were fair and soft, and there was an indescribable innocence in his eyes.

Xu Cheng heard the voice, raised his head, and smiled at Fang Ruqing.

"Are you back?"

Fang Ruqing put the breakfast on the table, walked over, and kissed Xu Cheng's forehead.

"Well, I'm back."

He came back, but his Xu Cheng was still there.

His three-year nightmare seemed to disappear at this moment.
