Picking Up Stars - Chapter 22
[Chapter 22]
Qin Fang guessed that he didn’t have any good words in his mouth, and asked, “What’s the progress?”
Han Xiaogong asked on the phone, “What are you two doing?”
Qin Fang said, “Eating, what are you doing?”
Han Xiaogong owes Di raised his tone and asked again: “with whom?”
“with my roommate,” Qin Fang asked him again, “is there something wrong?”
Xing Yan looked over from the side and said to Qin Fang, “he has nothing to do with him. Don’t worry about it.”
Han Xiaogong smiled again and said, “Ah, no, I’m fine.”
Qin Fang then asked, “Then I’m hanging up?”
“Okay, bye.” Han Xiaogong said.
Qin Fang also said to him, “Goodbye.”
After hanging up, Qin Fang put the phone back in Xing Yan’s hand, smiled and said, “He is really free.”
“He is really free,” Xing Yan said, “except for There’s nothing else to take pictures.”
“It’s so chic.” Qin Fang shook his head and said.
Seeing that they could not drink Xingyan anymore, the three cheaters started to play tricks, hiding all the cheaters. They didn’t want the newly added friend to kill the three of them.
No matter how much Xingyan can drink, in the end, there will be a little more. His eyes were a little red, but he couldn’t see anything else.
When he went out, Qin Fang pointed at the three people and said, “You three scumbags.”
Shen Dengke laughed slyly: “We are enthusiastic.”
Xing Yan sat in the passenger seat, pulled the seat belt and fastened it. He drank too much and didn’t talk much. He lowered his head slightly, and was quieter than usual. When Qin Fang asked him anything, he just said “um” or shook his head gently, his reaction was slower than normal, and his eyes were occasionally dull.
Hua Tong and Xing Yan were in the same dormitory area, and Qin Fang had to send them back first.
Arriving downstairs in the dormitory, Hua Tong said a few words and got out of the car, Xing Yan closed his eyes and leaned on the seat, not moving. Qin Fang didn’t know if he was asleep, so he touched his arm: “Brother Yan?”
Xing Yan slowly opened his eyes, Qin Fang said again: “Go downstairs.”
Xing Yan glanced outside, But he still didn’t move, closed his eyes again, and said in a low voice, “I want to turn around.”
Qin Fang blinked, smiled, and then nodded: “Okay, then I’ll send them back first.
” The two roommates also sent them back. Qin Fang was not in a hurry to leave, so the car stopped downstairs and asked Xing Yan, “Where do you want to go?”
Xing Yan shook his head gently.
Qin Fang felt that Xing Yan was cute after drinking too much, and his slowness was a bit different from usual. Qin Fang didn’t ask him any more, and drove the car out. He didn’t have any destination, so he didn’t drive fast or slow. Xing Yan was looking out of the car window, but he turned back after a while, looked ahead, and suddenly asked Qin Fang, “If you like this, or should I take you around?”
“There is no doubt about that,” Qin Fang said. There was no hesitation, “There’s no comparison, what’s the joy of this, I like your car.”
Xing Yan turned his head to look at him, didn’t say anything, just said “um”.
Qin Fang is a very comfortable friend to get along with. He can’t pick out any shortcomings in him, and he makes people feel comfortable in every aspect. Usually he is quite cheerful and can chat with everyone, but like now when Xing Yan drinks too much and doesn’t want to talk, Qin Fang quietly leads him around and drives the car to the outer ring. Not a word, no noise at all.
Later, Qin Fang parked the car by the river, opened the window, and turned off the fire.
There are young couples and a family of three walking around the riverside after dinner. The child picked up a small stone and threw it into the river. There were many flying insects around the small lights by the river. Xing Yan looked over there and said slowly, “Actually, the four of us should have dinner together today.”
“Huh?” Qin Fang looked at him, “What?” Xing
Yan asked him, “What date is it today?”
Qin Fang glanced at the phone and said, “September 6th.”
Xing Yan still looked at the direction of the river, how gentle the water is during the day, how dark and terrifying at night. But fortunately there was a dim yellow light by the river, which made everything seem peaceful. Xing Yan cleared his throat, nodded and said, “Well, starting from today, we have no home.”
Qin felt relieved.
Xing Yan said: “It’s been too long, I’m numb.”
Qin Fang pursed his lips, and after a while asked softly, “You…”
“Why don’t we have a home?” Xing Yan finished the question for him.
Qin Fang nodded.
Xing Yan said: “The chemical factory exploded.”
Xing Yan said these things calmly. He would say these may be because today is a special day, or it may just be because he drank alcohol today.
The explosion of chemical plants, in that era without the Internet, was easily suppressed. The pension was given a large sum, but no one outside the province knew about it. From that day on, the whole family became broken, there are too many such families. Lucky children can still have a single parent, and unfortunate children can only learn to grow up on their own.
Some were picked up by the elders and left there, and some were inseparable from the roots. Live carefully under the fence of others, and when the elders pass away, you can only get together with the same kind of people in the same situation and grow up savagely together.
“Han Xiaogong is the most bullied,” Xing Yan unscrewed the bottle of water, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, “because he is the most beautiful and looks like a little girl.”
“Indeed,” Qin Fang nodded. Nodding, “Such a boy is easy to be bullied.”
“He knows how to cry,” Xing Yan laughed mockingly, “I come back crying almost every day, and once was stripped naked, and there was a shoe print on his butt. .”
Qin Fang frowned and couldn’t help saying “Fuck”.
“Zhou Siming went out with a knife that day,” Xing Yan blinked slowly and continued, “I went too.”
“Zhou Siming and I are in charge of outputting force.” He may have been amused by his words, and he bent his fingers and rubbed the tip of his nose, “He and I almost grew up fighting with others. If we can’t fight, we have to fight, and we can’t stop fighting. ”
He said this, which made Qin Fang feel tight in his chest and wanted to swear.
Xing Yan touched a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, turned his head and asked him, “Do you mind?”
Qin Fang shook his head: “I don’t mind, I didn’t even know you could smoke.”
“You will,” Xing Yan lit a cigarette , “I stopped smoking later.”
Qin Fang reached for Xing Yan’s cigarette and said, “Give me one.”
Xing Yan raised his head to hide, biting the cigarette and looking at Qin Fang, his eyes were half-squinted because of the smoke. Said: “You learn better.”
In fact, Qin Fang didn’t know how to smoke. He also smoked when he was playing with those sons and buddies, but he was not addicted. What Xing Yan said thought Qin Fang also wanted to order a cigarette, but Xing Yan would not give it.
The way Xing Yan smokes is different from what he usually does. When he is biting a cigarette, the line of his jawbone will be more obvious.
In fact, Qin Fang didn’t know why Xing Yan told him this, it didn’t seem like something Xing Yan would say. He always has a distance and will not take the initiative to tell others about his own affairs. Qin Fang guessed that Xing Yan might have drunk too much.
After smoking a cigarette, Xing Yan got out of the car, put out the cigarette, walked a few steps and threw it away. Qin Fang also got out of the car. When he walked over, Xing Yan said, “Actually, what you see is not so real. I pretend to be a lot of the time.”
Qin Fang took it seriously and asked, “What are you pretending to be?
Xing Yan looked at him and said, “It’s not that dark… so dark.” Qin
Fang even laughed and said, “Then you don’t have to pretend, what should you do.”
Xing Yan still looked at Qin Fang . , watched for a long time without speaking, Qin Fang was stared at by him for a long time, raised his eyes and looked at him.
“You are too simple,” Xing Yan said, “you can see the head at a glance.”
Qin Fang raised his eyebrows: “What did you see?”
Xing Yan thought for a while, then finally lowered his head and smiled, and said in a low voice, “I see that you are a fool.”
Qin Fang was called a fool by him again, and after two steps Hit Xing Yan, he raised his arm, Xing Yan thought that he was going to strangle his neck again and was about to hide. As a result, Qin Fang just stretched out his hand to wrap Xing Yan’s shoulder and gave him a tight hug.
Qin Fang hugged Xing Yan with both arms. The two were so tall that Qin Fang’s mouth was right next to Xing Yan’s ear when he spoke. Qin Fang’s hand patted Xing Yan’s back hard, and said –
“Brother Yan, come on.”
Xing Yan was hugged by Qin Fang, chest to chest, feeling the hot and powerful heartbeat of the young man in front of him. Xing Yan closed his eyes, his breath smelled of Qin Fang’s shampoo.
For a meal with his roommate, Qin Fang called Xing Yan on a whim, or could not be said to be on a whim. Since he went out with Xing Yan, he has been thinking about others and wants to play with them. In short, it was such a meal that Qin Fang knew a lot about Xing Yan, which was actually an accident.
Knowing each other’s secrets is one of the most powerful means of getting closer.
Qin Fang originally thought that Xing Yan might regret saying so much when he sobered up the next day, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. This person is too normal, as if he didn’t say anything.
But Qin Fang couldn’t seem to have never heard of it, anyway, Xing Yan had been different in his heart since that night.
The original cool boy became a poor boy in Qin Fang, and he subconsciously wanted to bring Xing Yan with him in everything he did. Whether it’s going out to dinner or going out to play, always make an appointment on the phone. But Xing Yan rarely had time to go out with him, after all, he was a scholar.
Hua Tong nestled in Qin Fang’s bedroom, squatted on his chair to play games, and said, “Qin Fang Xin Han Fang, why did you invite me to dinner today, is it your brother Yan in the laboratory?”
Qin Fang laughed twice and ignored him.
“Looks like a resentful woman,” Shen Dengke answered from the opposite side, “Tong’er, you have to find a way to restore my peace of mind.”
“You don’t need me to save it,” Hua Tong said. “Tomorrow’s punishment will be today’s me. When you let go and start chasing girls, you have to stand aside.
” What else do you need?”
