Flight of the Bumblebee

"I think you've been smiling more recently." He Qi put a piece of potato pancake into his mouth. The four dishes on the table were all made by him. At best, Xing Yan mashed the potatoes while making the potato pancake. Clumsy, jumping up and down the rest of the time, competing with him for oxygen and living space in the small kitchen, so annoying to death, asking this and that, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised the spatula and kicked him out.

Xing Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard his unreasonable words, and asked, "Is there any?"

"When you first came here, you were crying all day long, and I'm too embarrassed to mention you." He Qi took a mouthful of rice and said sullenly.

Xing Yan smiled: "If you are embarrassed to say, you can say it now."

He Qi squinted his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't know this person. He said, "Look carefully, you seem to be completely different from the person you met for the first time." He pretended to be serious Wang Zi said, "Did you trade with someone else and sneak into my house?"

Xing Yan lowered his head in embarrassment, raised his eyes and smiled at him, and said, "Have I changed so much?"

Although Xing Yan smiled, his eyes always showed sadness inadvertently, and he didn't notice it himself.The blood in his left eye has faded, and the past life of nomads still left an indelible dark tone on his body.He Qi looked at him carefully, and then said: "It hasn't changed that much, but the injury on your face has healed, so your appearance is much different from before." After finishing speaking, he began to stuff it into his mouth. thing.

Xing Yan held up his chopsticks and smiled quietly.He occasionally does this, sitting there without speaking, as if in a daze.Only when He Qi appears around him, Xing Yan's eyes can't help but follow him.But when He Qi turned around, he looked away, pretending to be looking at other places, in short, he couldn't be found looking at him.

He likes He Qi to call him when he is watching a movie, and the two of them are lying on the same bed, very close to each other.Xing Yan didn't dare to express his feelings, his eyes were on the screen, but Xin Yuan danced happily around He Qi.When the camera light is dimmed, their shadows are reflected on it.Xing Yan can see from the screen how much he is focused on the movie.Only when he is not worried about being noticed, can he let his eyes go quietly.

These are all unknown.

The homeless man who was kindly rescued turned out to be a homosexual who coveted him.This is different from picking up an abandoned puppy on the street, only to find out that it is a man-eating beast when it grows up.In the modern version of Farmer and Snake, Xing Yan couldn't even imagine how He Qi would treat himself after knowing the truth.Observing his attitude before, it seems that he is resistant to this aspect.So Xing Yan didn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes, and staying by his side silently like this should be enough.

He Qi asked him suddenly: "Do you feel that the downstairs has become much quieter recently?"

Xing Yan said in surprise: "Don't you know?"

He Qi felt inexplicable for a while, "Should I know?"

"The man took his mother and left."

He was really shocked this time, he hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Really?"

"It's true, many days ago."

"Why didn't you tell me?" He Qi said a little angrily.

"I thought you... I thought you already knew it, but I just didn't want to talk about it." Xing Yan replied with a guilty conscience.

He worked overtime every day until midnight, he was exhausted, the first thing he did when he came back was to take a shower, and then go to bed, he didn't even bother to say a word, what a ghost.He Qi is not willing to care about other people's family affairs, but it cannot be said that he is not interested in such matters.Since he graduated from university and came to this city to work hard, he has been living here. He doesn't have much contact with the people downstairs in his daily life, but he knows the basics after being a neighbor for so long.After all, he was brainwashed by his family's quarrels almost every night. Even if the old lady spoke her hometown dialect, he could understand a thing or two.

He Qi dared to say that he knew much better than a newcomer like Xing Yan, but a family separated without warning, and there was a child, he couldn't believe that those two people would do this.

"It's so shameless!" He said, "What about the kid?"

"It seems to be raised by my mother. The two of them didn't get a certificate, so the man left as soon as he said it." Xing Yan said lightly.

While feeling angry, He Qi realized something. He turned around and asked Xing Yan, "Why do you know so much about other people's affairs?"

"I've been staying here, not going anywhere, and I understand more or less what happens in this building every day under my nose." Xing Yan said.

He Qi was silent for a while, seriously thought about the situation of mother and daughter, and sighed unconsciously for them: "A woman takes care of a child, what should I do in the future? What should the child do in the future? A father is so cruel that he abandons his family." Abandoned daughter."

Xing Yan nodded in agreement, and said: "But according to my observations these days, the two of them don't seem to be very negative. They are sad. Niuniu's mother seems to be a very strong woman."

"How?" He Qi asked.

"On the day the man and the old lady left, I saw them dragging their luggage away upstairs. Niuniu was locked in the house by them, neither crying nor making trouble. I thought they were just going back to their hometown to run some business. I’ll be back in one day. That night you didn’t come back from working overtime. I sat by the railing and waited for you. I heard a woman crying from below. She was on the phone with someone else, saying that the man left her mother and child and left. She was very sad. , I was very sad to hear it, but I was too embarrassed to comfort her, so I just sat there and listened to her crying silently. The next day I thought she would be devastated, but she went out to work in the morning, as if nothing happened , A woman's heart is too strong."

"What about Niu Niu? You forget the year." He Qi didn't forget to tease him at this time.

Xing Yan scratched his head and said: "She was locked in the house by her mother. When I went down to see her, she was standing behind the security door with a rabbit in her arms, with tears in her eyes..." He said with a wry smile: "Look at her. so poor……"

He Qi couldn't help feeling sad.

How old is that little girl?five years old?six years old?Before he was old enough to go to school, he was abandoned by his biological father and grandmother.The mother's income is probably not high, so I don't know if she can support two people.No one else knows how difficult it is for a single mother in society.The little girl looks so cute, but she can't enjoy a happy childhood like her peers.

Such human tragedies happened around him, He Qi suddenly felt unreal, and the unspeakable sadness was occupying his heart at the moment, He Qi believed that the silent Xing Yan also had the same mood as him.

"How could this be..." He Qi sighed softly.

"I think it's a good thing for the man to leave." Xing Yan said lightly, which frightened He Qi.

"Do you think it's a good thing for a child to lose his father? What are you thinking..."

"Living in that kind of family environment is not going to be happy."

"Well——" He looked at Xing Yan who was eating food silently, pondered for a moment, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Have you taken a fancy to Niu Niu's mother? Want to be someone's father?"

Originally, he wanted to make a joke to ease the current atmosphere, but he didn't expect Xing Yan's reaction to be so strong, he almost dropped the bowl, and the rice spilled all over the floor, why had to stand up and take out a few pieces of paper for him to clean up the mess in front of him .The vegetable juice splashed on his clothes, Xing Yan grabbed the dirty place and bowed his head in silence.While helping him clean the table, He Qi observed his expression, and already had the answer in his heart, he secretly called out: "No way...do you really like it?"

This misunderstanding came so surging that it almost overwhelmed all his cognition.Xing Yan's expression seemed to confirm his conjecture: Yes, I fell in love with the woman downstairs at first sight, and now I feel ashamed because my secret was exposed by you in person.

After cleaning up the rice that fell on the table, He Qi still pretended to be wiping the table, almost leaning close to Xing Yan's face to observe his expression.It made him feel embarrassed, more embarrassing than being like a child who couldn't hold the chopsticks steady when eating.

He Qi didn't know anything at all, and he even said that he fell in love with Niu Niu's mother.The turmoil in his heart made him flustered for a while. Xing Yan wanted to explain, but he caught sight of He Qi's excited expression from the corner of his eye. He felt that all the explanations at this moment were useless. He Qi didn't care whether he really liked someone or not. Gossip is like the gossip that ordinary people see when a certain celebrity gets married and has children on the entertainment headlines.

Xing Yan lowered his head, hiding his sadness in front of He Qi.He Qi faintly felt that he seemed to have said something wrong, which made Xing Yan unhappy.He sat back silently, changed the subject and said, "Your clothes are dirty, take them off and wash them later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Yan stood up from the stool, took off the white T-shirt without a glance, and put it on the chair next to him, revealing his naked body.He Qi widened his eyes, looked at his body in surprise and said, "I remember you were skinny and skinny a while ago, why did you gain weight so quickly?" He lowered his head and touched his soft belly, feeling that fate was really unfair. Sitting in the office every day, drinking water makes me gain weight. Not long after graduation, weight loss is about to be put on the agenda.However, Xing Yan, a person who does nothing at home and, to put it bluntly, just eats and waits to die, has grown lean flesh after eating a few days of full food.

Judging by his triangular frame and his height of 1.8 meters, his appearance is not ugly. If he can exercise casually, he will be fine.

A thought suddenly popped into He Qi's mind: Could it be that I picked up a piece of treasure?If he can't survive in the future, he can be forced to sell himself as a rich woman to support his family.

Then he remembered that this man was illiterate, and all thoughts were immediately dispelled.

Xing Yan looked at him and said seriously, "I don't like Niu Niu's mother."

"Huh?" He Qi didn't react from the muscles in his chest for a while, but just thought: why is he talking about this?When he looked at Xing Yan's expression, the memory of the previous conversation surfaced, He Qi suddenly said: "Oh, you said that...cough, why are you so serious? I'm kidding you, fool."

As a result, Xing Yan showed his trademark smirk again, sat on the chair and moved forward, and said, "Really?"

"There is nothing real or fake..." He Qi replied impatiently: "If you say there is no, then there is no."
