middle aged

Mo Fanfan felt that he might have drunk too much. He hadn't drank domestic liquor for a long time. He had already forgotten how intoxicating this kind of liquor was. After drinking another glass of wine, he felt that he was about to float up. The old classmates on the same table in the field of vision seem to have some double images, and their voices are also a little blurred and can't be heard.

There was only one person whose appearance was still very clear in his vision.Although that him is not as bright as he was when he was a teenager, and his lean body was a little fatter, but he is still him, that shadow, which has never changed.Qi Yunze did not sit with Xiao Man and the children, they sat at the same table with Wang Huyi's wife and children and several other mothers with children.Qi Beibei was having fun with a four or five-year-old brother, and Qi Han was also having trouble with Wang Xiaopang's little chubby.Although the sitting position is not far away, it is out of sight after all.Mo Pingfan was inexplicably happy, and also enjoyed the moment when only Qi Yunze was in his field of vision.

Let's have another drink. The groom leads the beautiful bride to toast. The wedding wine is in pairs, one after another.Mo Fanfan staggered a little when he sat down. If the hand next to him hadn't supported him in time, he might not even be able to sit on the chair.He looked at the man, raised his red face, and smiled silly at him.

"You drank too much." The man's voice was still so pleasant

"No..." Mo Fanfan watched his right hand waved in front of his eyes.

"Stop drinking, drink some tea." A cup of freshly poured hot tea was delivered to him, and Mo Fanfan watched the tea leaves sinking in the tea for a long time in a daze.

"There are dirty things in here..." Mo Fanfan raised his head and stared blankly at Qi Yunze.

"...Okay, I'll change it for you." The waiter asked him for another cup of pure water without tea leaves. After drinking too much, Mo Fanfan quietly held the water cup and drank it in small sips.

"How are you going back later?" Qi Yunze looked at Mo Pingfan who was in a trance, a little worried.

"...I'll take a taxi and go back." Mo Fanfan replied as if his rationality had returned a little.

Qi Yunze hesitated a little. At Li Wei's banquet, he also drank a lot. It's just that after staying in a state-owned enterprise for so many years, he has already practiced his alcohol tolerance. Mo Pingfan is much better now.With his current state, it is estimated that even if the taxi driver sent him downstairs, he might not be able to find a home by himself.

However, looking at his wife and children on the table next to him, Qi Yunze still hesitated.

"Don't send me off... You still have a family to take care of, so don't send me off..." Although Mo Fanfan's mind is no longer clear, there are still scattered thinking abilities in his consciousness.He could totally feel that Qi Yunze wanted to send him back.But no, he didn't care about those polite and clever words when he drank too much, he just blindly rejected them repeatedly.

"Otherwise, I'll send Mo Fanfan back. My family lives not far from Z University, so it's considered a drop in." Ouyang, who was sitting opposite Mo Fanfan, looked at the unconscious Mo Fanfan, and asked kindly.

"Forget it, it's really unreasonable to ask a lady to send a man home." Thinking of all the past, Qi Yunze was 1 unwilling to let Ouyang and Mo Pingfan stay in the same room.After blocking the passage with a word, he looked at the wife and children at the table next to him, and with a sigh of relief, he went over and explained to Xiaoman, and after handing her the car keys, he lifted Mo Fanfan's half with one hand. Standing tall, he half-carried and half-dragged Mo Fanfan onto the taxi that had already lined up at the entrance of the hotel to pick up passengers.The moment the car door was closed, Qi Yunze saw Ouyang Xiaoxiao standing at the door of the hotel looking at them from the rearview mirror.I don't know if it's a guilty conscience or something, Qi Yunze always felt that Ouyang Xiaoxiao saw something, that look made Qi Yunze panic, he didn't dare to look any more, he hurriedly asked his master to start the car, and drove towards Z University.

This is the first time Qi Yunze saw Mo Fanfan who was drunk. He didn't make trouble or go crazy, he just looked at people blankly and smiled. When he was sent downstairs to the teacher's apartment in Z University, he had already forgotten himself. Live on which floor or what number.If Qi Yunze hadn't known about it in advance, he would have to struggle for a while just to find the door.

Taking out the key from his trousers pocket, Qi Yunze dragged Mo Pingfan, who was about to lose consciousness, into the house. Fortunately, the room with one bedroom and one living room was not big, so after putting him on the small sofa not far from the door, Qi Yunze I went to the kitchen to boil some water.

Although the house is small, it is very warmly decorated by Mo Pingfan. The kitchen is spotless. All the pots and pans are cleaned and put aside. There is a small pink-green shoe cabinet at the entrance. With a few round prickly pears, the light yellow sofa and the light white fluffy bed in the small room make this small apartment look extra warm in late autumn.On the small coffee table in front of the sofa, there are several cartoon figures on the right hand side, and five or six small flower pots with succulents on the left hand side.Qi Yunze didn't know much about succulents, but he felt that the plants raised by Mo Pingfan looked extra round and lively.Beside the bed was a brown integrated desk and bookshelf. Qi Yunze looked at it, and found that apart from books related to Mo Pingfan's major, such as cells and molecules, most of the bookshelves were martial arts novels.After a brief glance, Qi Yunze raised his hand and pulled out a book - "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains". He once gave such a book to Mo Pingfan, but the pirated copy that he bought in a small bookstore outside the campus was again. How can it be compared with the exquisitely packaged collector's edition in his hand? Also, the corner of Qi Yunze's eyes glanced at Mo Pingfan's bedside table. The familiar small black object, the square corners, looked exactly the same as ten years ago, silver gray On the display screen, several electronic numbers flashed quietly according to their frequency, and it cycled back and forth according to the change of time, completely unaffected by the outside world.Qi Yunze was a little taken aback, this small electronic alarm clock was obviously exactly the same as the one on his bedside.

"Hmm..." Mo Pingfan on the sofa hummed unconsciously twice, Qi Yunze turned around and saw this guy who was sitting on the sofa, half of his body turned sideways for some reason.He quickly put down the book in his hand, mixed the freshly boiled hot water with the purified water in the bottle from the kitchen, took a sip and felt that the temperature was just right, took it out and fed it to Mo Pingfan's mouth.

"Drink some hot water."

"..." Mo Fanfan, who was helped up by him and sat up straight on the sofa, was still staring at him with blurred eyes.Seeing the cup being fed to his mouth, he lowered his head and sipped the hot water in the cup. It seemed that the temperature of the water made him feel very comfortable. He took the cup in Qi Yunze's hand and slowly drank by himself.

After warm water poured into his stomach, Mo Fanfan became more awake, and the outline of the person in front of him became clearer. Looking at the face that was close at hand, Mo Fanfan opened his mouth, and just about to say something, he vomited..., no, no Throwing up here, the remaining rationality overcame the body's reaction, Mo Fanfan covered his mouth, trotted all the way to the bathroom, hugged the toilet and "vomited..." vomited all over the place. "Ou... vomit..." Nausea came in waves one after another, and the strong stomach cramps made Mo Fanfan extremely uncomfortable. He finally vomited, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Qi Yunze walked to his side, closed the toilet lid, pressed the flush button, helped Mo Pingfan, who was limp on the ground, and carried him onto the bed without saying a word.During this short period of time, he made the bed, and put a warm water bottle under the quilt that had just been filled with hot water.Mo Pingfan has always doubted the safety of the rechargeable warm water bag. He has always used this kind of the most primitive warm water bag, but this kind of warm water bag is very easy to burn his fingers when filling water. Mo Pingfan, who was covering his stomach with a warm water bag, secretly looked at the fingers of Qi Yunze's left hand, and sure enough, the fingertips were red.His heart softened, and he was about to cry.

"I'm sorry..." Half asleep and half awake, Mo Pingfan muttered something in his mouth, the words were not clear, but Qi Yunze still heard it.

What are you sorry for..., I was drunk today and let him take care of me, but I still haven't heard from him for so many years, or after so many years without hearing from me, I suddenly appeared in front of him again.Looking at Mo Fanfan who was already breathing evenly, Qi Yunze couldn't help but want to light a cigarette, but seeing that there were no cigarette butts and no ashtray on the coffee table, Mo Fanfan probably didn't usually smoke.Thinking about it, Qi Yunze put the smoked cigarette back into the box.

On the weekend afternoon, there was no sound in front of or behind the teachers' apartment of Z University. The usually quiet place looked even more deserted at this time, but the heating in this small apartment was sufficient. Qi Yunze took off his coat, Covering his body, he took off his shoes and lay on the small sofa, but the sofa that can only accommodate two people is still too small for a fat middle-aged man like him, Qi Yunze sank down and stretched his legs. Hanging outside the sofa, he looked at Mo Pingfan who was asleep on the bed.Just like ten years ago, when I fell asleep, I was quiet and didn't even move.

Qi Yunze felt that his eyelids were a bit heavy, the room was too warm, and the side was too quiet, and after all, he also drank some wine at noon.Mo Fanfan, who was asleep, became more and more blurred in his vision, until finally, he couldn't hold it anymore, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Mo Fanfan woke up again, the room was pitch-black. He rubbed his painfully swollen forehead. He fumbled and turned on the small light on the bedside. With a glance, he could see everything in the small apartment, except for him. Apart from myself, there is no one else.Looking at the empty room, Mo Fanfan doubted his memory in a daze.In his mind, the images of Qi Yunze dragging himself home, feeding him water, and dragging him to bed are all memories automatically woven by the cerebral cortex?If this is the case, the human brain can have such a writing function, which can be regarded as a great discovery in the life sciences. If you study it further, you may win the Nobel Prize.With a self-conscious smirk, Mo Pingfan sat up, put on the little fur slippers next to the bed, and planned to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.The wedding banquet at noon had already been vomited up by myself, and the empty stomach felt very uncomfortable.

The sound of the key opening the door, Mo Pingfan watched the lock ring of the door of the room being opened round and round under the dim light, and that familiar face appeared in front of him with a bag of salt in his hand.
