miss me

Yan Cai dragged Xia Xinghe's clothes all the way forward, and didn't slow down until he saw the raging bonfire burning.

The sound of music was mixed with drumbeats, and the murmur of crackling came out from time to time. It was not unpleasant, but it was definitely not top-notch.

There are many bonfire parties, large and small, and many scenic spots hold similar activities. Yan Cai has seen many of them, and it is not uncommon. He brought Xia Xinghe here not to join in the fun, but just to let Xia Xinghe get in touch with others more. Put a little distance between him and Bai Qingzhou.

Although Xia Xinghe promised him that he would think about it carefully, Yan Cai knew that Xia Xinghe's character was stubborn and stubborn, and he decided that once he was alone, he would not change again.What's more, he has seen what happened in the past two days, and he knows that Xia Xinghe will probably fall again soon.

As a good friend, Yan Cai certainly hoped that Xia Xinghe would have a lover and get married, but Bai Qingzhou felt too cold and heartless, Yan Cai really couldn't feel relieved.

He couldn't stop Xia Xinghe's heartbeat, and he didn't know whether it was right for him to do so, but he just thought that Bai Qingzhou could chase Xia Xinghe a little more, and make him care more about Xia Xinghe.

The harder it is to get, the more you will cherish it. Yan Cai only hopes that after being together this time, they can go further.

Walking to the bonfire, many people have gathered in the spacious open space, men, women, old and young, and the atmosphere is quite lively.

The host warmed up the venue by the bonfire, and the service staff handed out cheese lumps that were said to be local specialties to the tourists. Xia Xinghe squeezed a piece and tasted it, it was sweet and sour, and tasted good.

eight pm.

The bonfire party officially kicked off.

There are many more stars in the small town than in the city. Under the starry night, the bonfire party has a warm atmosphere.

After a brief introduction, the host led everyone to dance the opening dance. In fact, the arms were shaking back and forth rhythmically, and then everyone turned around the bonfire. very nice.

In front of him was a raging fire, the light flickered on and off, the dynamic music was full of people, everyone had smiles on their faces, under the warm atmosphere, Xia Xinghe and Yan Cai also joined in.

Standing next to Xia Xinghe was an enthusiastic and cheerful boy, while dancing rhythmically, chatting with Xia Xinghe casually.

The boy smiled and asked, "Where are you from? It sounds like you're from the south?"

"Haha, I'm from the north," Xia Xinghe said, "but I went to university in the south, so I guess I've been affected a bit."

After all, this place is unfamiliar, Xia Xinghe kept an eye out and didn't mention the specific location. The boy is quite carefree, after hearing what he said, he introduced himself openly, "I am also from the north and went to the south. It's a university in Liaohu."

Xia Xinghe blinked: "Liaohu?"

The boy nodded: "Yes, I'm still living in Liaohu."

The same city suddenly shortened the distance between strangers, Xia Xinghe asked a few more questions, and finally found out that the boy is still an alumnus with him, one class lower than him, from the School of Journalism.

Yan Cai is also from the School of Journalism, Xia Xinghe immediately pulled Yan Cai to confirm, and it turned out that the two knew each other. The moment he saw the boy, Yan Cai was stunned: "Sheng Tianyi?"

Sheng Tianyi was also dumbfounded: "Senior Yan?! Why are you here too?"

The two are from the same department, and they worked together in the student union for a period of time when they were in college. Although they are not in the same department, they still look down and see each other.

What a coincidence.

Familiar people are always very kind when they want to see each other in a foreign land. Sheng Tianyi immediately pulled them and said that he would invite them to eat at the nearby shop. a sweet water shop.

There are many tricks in the sweet water shop, the three of them ordered a drink each, and sat on the chairs by the door to chat.

Yan Cai asked Sheng Tianyi: "Are you out to play alone?"

Sheng Tianyi said: "Well, let's go out and look for inspiration."

Yan Cai asked again: "What work do you do now?"

Sheng Tianyi smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Occasionally writing scripts for others is considered a freelance job."

"Yo, that's a coincidence," Yan Cai sighed, put one hand in front of Xia Xinghe and introduced: "Xiao Xia also writes articles, you may have something in common."

Sheng Tianyi's eyes widened at once: "Really?"

Xia Xinghe nodded: "Yes, but I wrote it."

"Great," Sheng Tianyi immediately became excited, "May I ask you a few questions about the setting of the plot, I have been unsatisfied with the paragraph I wrote recently, and I have been stuck for a long time."

"You can ask," Xia Xinghe said, "Advising doesn't count, but we can chat casually."

There are always many topics among peers, and the writing and writing are also connected. The discussion between the two went from plain to intense. Sheng Tianyi nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and Xia Xinghe also absorbed preciousness and inspiration from him.

Originally, Yan Cai and Sheng Tianyi met first, but later he couldn't get in the way. Sheng Tianyi's eyes on Xia Xinghe changed from normal to adoration, and finally asked if he could add him on WeChat.

Xia Xinghe naturally agreed, and opened the QR code to scan it for him. It happened that Bai Qingzhou and Nie Xingchao came here, and this was what they saw.

Xia Xinghe had a very happy conversation with a boy, and the two even added WeChat.

Bai Qingzhou frowned in displeasure, and his heart sank.

Yan Cai was playing with his mobile phone boredly at the side, but when he saw the two people coming, he immediately became interested, especially after seeing Bai Qingzhou's unhappy expression, he immediately laughed.

"Yo, why are you two here?"

Nie Xingchao raised his eyebrows: "We can't come?"

"I didn't mention you," Yan Cai glanced at him, and his eyes fell on Bai Qingzhou again, as if teasing, "Our aloof senior Bai is also interested in this kind of activity?"

The conversation here attracted the attention of two other people. Sheng Tianyi raised his head unintentionally, and when his eyes touched Bai Qingzhou, his expression froze: "Fuck, is this Senior Bai from the Clinical College?"

Bai Qingzhou enjoys a high reputation in the school. Not to mention the video of his speech that year was widely circulated, he was also the object of admiration for countless generations of juniors and girls.

Sheng Tianyi is obviously also a fan of Bai Qingzhou, seeing his real person at this time, his expression is inevitably excited.

"Hello, Mr. Bai, I am Sheng Tianyi from the first and second session of the School of Journalism, and I really like your speech at the entrance ceremony of the first session of freshmen..."

Sheng Tianyi's tone was enthusiastic, but Bai Qingzhou's expression was calm and indifferent. Sheng Tianyi babbled a lot, and after a long while, he said "um" slowly, which was barely a response.

The indifferent response made Sheng Tianyi's tone pause a bit, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xia Xinghe hurried out to smooth things over.

"It's okay, Xiao Sheng," Xia Xinghe said with a smile, "Senior Bai has received your affection, he has this kind of temper, don't take it to heart."

Bai Qingzhou frowned slightly, and Sheng Tianyi quickly realized: "Ah...no, no."

He said with a smile: "When I was in school, I heard that Mr. Bai was the male god of the 'high cold department'. Now it seems that his reputation is really well-deserved."

Sheng Tianyi's emotional intelligence was very high, and he resolved the embarrassment with a single sentence. Several people looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere returned to the warm atmosphere just now, but Bai Qingzhou remained cold-faced.

The bonfire party outside was still lively. Amid the hustle and bustle, Bai Qingzhou and Nie Xingchao also sat down at the sugar shop. Nie Xingchao ordered a bowl of thick and sweet poplar nectar, while Bai Qingzhou ordered a glass of light lemonade.

The atmosphere on the table was warm, gentle and harmonious. Sheng Tianyi was chatting excitedly with Xia Xinghe, and Nie Xingchao and Yan Cai were also arguing without saying a word. Only Bai Qingzhou sat next to him with his thin lips tightly closed, his pale eyes falling. On Xia Xinghe's smiling eyebrows, he and Sheng Tianyi chatted silently.

The lemonade in the glass was slightly swaying, a little sour.

Eleven at night.

The bonfire party finally broke up.

The whole night, Xia Xinghe was chatting with Sheng Tianyi almost.

Sheng Tianyi was sweet and talkative, and Xia Xinghe was often amused by him, the relationship between the two developed rapidly, and later they directly called each other brothers.

It was getting late, but Sheng Tianyi still had something to say, he lived not far from the B&B where they were staying, so he warmly invited Xia Xinghe to go back together.

"Okay."

Xia Xinghe naturally agreed.

On the way back, the two were still chatting, and the laughter and laughter continued to be heard in the quiet night, which was exceptionally clear...and piercing.

Bai Qingzhou followed behind the two, the hand hanging by his side relaxed and clenched again, his knuckles turned white.

He didn't want to continue to watch the intimate movements of the two in front, and he didn't know how to express his dissatisfaction, so he left a sentence: "You go back first, I'll go for a walk." Then he strode towards the opposite direction.

It was late at night, and Bai Qingzhou stood on a high ground, silently looking into the distance.

The lights in the ancient town are sparse, and only a light is dimly lit in the distance.

The night wind blew slowly, and his chest felt tight, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, which was a setback he had never experienced before.

Bai Qingzhou thought he had done everything he could.

Putting aside the funny incidents of mishaps before, even if he later lowered his body and took the initiative to tell Xia Xinghe that he was chasing him, Xia Xinghe's reaction was still indifferent.

Bai Qingzhou seemed to be belatedly aware that perhaps there was something wrong with his way of expression, otherwise, why would someone who had just met Xia Xinghe get along with Xia Xinghe and have a good conversation, but he and Xia Xinghe had been reunited for so long , even if they think they are honest enough, their relationship is still awkward, as if separated by hundreds of thousands of miles.

But feelings are not like math problems, there are standard answers for reference, and it is not like surgery, more practice will always make perfect, and the always excellent and outstanding genius finally stumbled here, but he has no idea what to do.

He wanted to rush up and pull that Sheng away directly, and wanted to tell everyone that Xia Xinghe belonged to him, but Xia Xinghe didn't agree to his pursuit, so he didn't even have the capital to be jealous.

This taste is really uncomfortable.

Now, there is no one around, and strong emotions are stagnant in his chest. Bai Qingzhou couldn't restrain himself, and punched the tree beside him. The fallen leaves fell one after another, and a small piece gathered under his feet. Suddenly, behind him There was a sound of rustling footsteps.

"Bai Qingzhou? Is that you?"

It seemed...it was Xia Xinghe's voice.

Bai Qingzhou's Adam's apple rolled.

Will he still come to find himself?

Didn't he have a good chat with that Sheng?

silence.

Joy, dissatisfaction, jealousy, frustration, countless emotions rolled in his chest, making Bai Qingzhou not sure how to react, so he could only respond with silence.

After a while, Xia Xinghe called out again: "Bai Qingzhou?"

Even though he didn't hear his response, he still tentatively walked towards this side.

One step, two steps, the sound of rustling footsteps was very clear in the quiet night, the distance between the two was getting closer, suddenly, a crisp "click" sounded in the night sky, disturbing the quiet atmosphere.

A burst of severe pain spread through Xia Xinghe's ankle.

"Bai Qingzhou!" Xia Xinghe burst into tears from the pain, his voice trembling, "Come quickly! My leg seems to be caught by something!"

Bai Qingzhou's brows furrowed suddenly, all emotions were thrown away, and he walked in front of him with big strides.
