Comparable species

Lu Weiyang put a thick stack of packed cardboard boxes into the trunk, turned around and found that the man who should have been sitting in the back seat of the car was standing in front of the half-open car door in a daze.His slender fingers were half-closed on the car window, and the hair that had just been washed and hadn't had time to dry was slightly curled on his forehead. Xia Shi stared at the phone screen with deep downcast eyes, showing no expression.

But Xia Shishen seems to be looking at his phone much more frequently recently, Lu Weiyang thought so.

He went around Xia Shishen to open the driver's door. As soon as he stepped in with one leg, his left shoulder was held down, and his strength was not light.

Lu Weiyang turned his head in a very weird posture, looking at Shang Xia Shi's eyes with deep meaning, and the mobile phone he held up next to his face.

"How is it?" Xia Shishen's voice sounded like a male beast that hadn't woken up yet.

Lu Weiyang's neck was about to cramp. He glanced at the black business car door halfway open on the phone screen, revealing a little of the white sneakers at the bottom.

"It's not good." Lu Weiyang withdrew his gaze and sat in the car, but the door couldn't be closed no matter what.

The forearm with faint veins hanging over his head, Xia Shi's thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, and he frowned and asked again: "Are you sure?"

"There is a problem with your composition, look..." He had just finished speaking, when the man in front of him took a step back, and closed the car door with a snap.

Xia Shi leaned his head against the car window, and somewhat reluctantly deleted the newly edited Moments picture, the four words alone in the blank space seemed boring.

The commercial vehicle was speeding on the expressway around the city, the scorching sunlight was cut off by the neatly placed electric poles, and the flickering lights and shadows were cast inside the car and fell on the man's slender eyelids.Up to this moment, four days and fifteen hours, 401520 seconds, he has sent 14 circles of friends, including food, schedule, movies, and music.

He thinks that the content is substantial and the theme is clear.

But Qi Yan didn't give him a compliment, just like the strict parents who are stingy in praising their children, they turn a deaf ear to his actions.

Several times he even felt that Qi Yan might not be in his contact list at all, but there was only one name in the star friend column, and the two characters stood squarely in the center of the screen.

Chen Ling opened the door and greeted his cousin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, with a smile. Xia Shishen responded casually, turned sideways expressionlessly, pushed open the half-open door and walked in.

Lu Weiyang, who was holding the cardboard box, winked at Chen Ling, and Chen Ling looked back at Xia Shishen who had already entered the living room, leaned closer and whispered, "How upset is my brother?"

Lu Weiyang handed him the packing box, curled his lips, "I just hung up my phone all the way, and didn't say a word."

Xia Shi stood with his back straight beside the clothes hanger in the entrance, his tensed jaw became more and more sharp, Xia Shi raised his chin deeply, and raised his eyebrows at him.

Chen Ling laughed twice, glanced at the long-haired girl sitting on the sofa, and said in a relaxed tone: "My classmate, didn't you say move, I'm afraid that the three of us are not enough, so let her help."

Xia Shishen nodded, raised his hand to stroke back the bangs that somewhat blocked his eyes, and looked around the room with dark eyes.

"That's fine." He withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at the girl with exquisite makeup sitting on the sofa, and tapped twice on the solid wooden hanger beside him with his fingers, "Then she'll move this later."

Chen Ling's scalp became tense, he laughed dryly, and said, "Brother, don't be joking, the poles of this hanger are all solid..."

"It's too light." Xia Shishen approached the sofa with his pockets in his hands, and touched the black support at the bottom of the sofa with the back of his feet, "Then move this."

Chen Ling's body was pressed against the door frame, and the cold touch penetrated the cotton cloth to his skin. He knew that Xia Shishen had a bad personality, but today was too bad.The normally indifferent eyebrows and eyes carried an arrogance of unknown meaning, and Chen Ling broke out in a cold sweat looking at his back.

"Your personality is too bad." The girl pinned her long hair that fell on her chest behind her ears, and she narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Xia Shishen took out a cigarette from his pocket, and glanced at the heavy double sofa in front of him, "You move the sofa out, I can give you a compliment."

Chen Ling didn't live in this villa for too long, and the man who lives alone doesn't have many scattered things, except for the part that has been towed away by the moving company, the rest just fit into the cardboard box brought by Lu Weiyang.He was squatting in the living room and pasting tape on the last box. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xia Shi leaning against the arm of the sofa, his fingertips holding the phone turned slightly white.

Chen Ling sat down beside Xia Shishen, before he could speak, Lu Weiyang came down from the bedroom on the second floor, holding a black cardboard box in his arms.

Lu Weiyang put the box on the ground with a bang, and the floating ash caused Chen Ling to cough. The movement was so loud that Shen Mingxiang, who was standing in the kitchen, was startled, and came out with two bottles of coffee.

"This box is meant to be thrown away, why did you take it down!" Chen Ling raised his hand and slapped it in front of his eyes.

Lu Weiyang picked up the photo on the top. The densely packed students were all wearing white shirts, and the red scarves on their chests were neatly tied. The bold black letters on the top read the graduation photos of all Class 73 of No. [-] Middle School.

"You throw away your graduation photos too?" Lu Weiyang moved closer, trying to find Chen Ling among the similar-looking crowd.

His eyes stopped at the edge of the penultimate row. The boy's complexion was a little paler than the girl beside him, his brows and eyes were soft, and his black hair fell limply on his forehead.

"Why does this person look so familiar..."

Shen Mingxiang put the coffee in Xia Shishen's hand and moved over. She pouted, "This is a school celebrity."

Chen Ling also leaned over, looked at the person in the photo and suddenly realized, "He seems to be the only sponsored student in the whole school."

"His father died in the fire when he was in school, and the school donated money to him afterwards."

"At that time, TV reporters took turns to interview him, and newspapers wrote about him every day."

Chen Ling took the coffee that was in Xia Shishen's hand, unscrewed the bottle cap, and asked, "Do you know him?"

Lu Weiyang shook his head, "I don't know, it just looks familiar, what's it called..."

Shen Mingxiang's fingertips painted with bright red nail polish landed on the second-to-last row on the name column. She was afraid of waking Xia Shishen, who was closing her eyes, and said softly.

"It's called Qi Yan."

Xia Shishen, who was lying on the sofa with his head up, opened his eyes. He didn't sleep well yesterday, and his head was drowsy.He didn't know what they said just now, but he heard Qi Yan's name very clearly.

Chen Ling looked blankly at Xia Shishen who suddenly sat up. The sleepiness in his eyes had not completely dissipated, but his slender fingers pinched the corner of the photo tightly.

Xia Shishen stared at the photo without saying a word, his drooping eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips looked stubborn.

He found Qi Yan after a glance.

Qi Yan at that time was thinner and smaller than he is now, and his facial features looked a little crowded on his palm-sized face, but he was still very white, and his whiteness seemed to shine, and he could see it at a glance even among the copy-and-paste crowd. found him.

But Xia Shishen didn't find Qi Yan based on this.

Qi Yan was easy to find, because he was the only one among all the students in this graduation photo who didn't look at the camera.

The photos are left for too long, the colors are no longer vivid, and some people's faces are even blurred.

But Xia Shishen felt that Qi Yan should have cried before taking this photo.

Because he looks so sad.
