Just be your own driver

An Xiaoke has big eyes and a small belly, looking at the delicious braised beef, she promises to eat it, and refuses to share it.As a result, all the meat was eaten, and there was only half a bowl of noodles left.She yelled to go to the book corner to read a book, An Xing told her not to run around, then pushed her noodles and pancakes aside, and ate the little girl's rest first.

"Hey, there's still half a bowl left." An Xing straightened his back, "It's too wasteful."

"Don't waste it, I'm not full yet." Li Shaoyan said as he brought over the half bowl of noodles left by An Xing.

"Hey... that's what I have left..."

Before the words finished, Li Shaoyan had picked up the noodles and started eating with relish. Looking into An Xing's gentle eyes, he said, "I don't despise you. But," he thought for a while, and waved to An Xing.

An Xing leaned over and listened to what Li Shaoyan had to say.

"Show me a baby."

An Xing stared, not understanding what kind of unreasonable request Li Shaoyan made.

"Be nice~~~" Li Shaoyan said.

An Xing bit his lips and smiled, and said in a coquettish whisper, "Humph, I was snatched away by you before I was full. Brother Li, brother, the worst."

An Xing only felt that his ears were hot, his hands softened, and his chopsticks almost fell to the ground, "Didn't you say yes, you are not allowed to call me Brother Xiaoli outside? You broke the rules!"

"Who told you to act like a baby with me first? Tsk tsk tsk, that wavy line is almost turning into an electrocardiogram." An Xing imitated Li Shaoyan's appearance just now, "No~~~I'm going to shout like that."

Li Shaoyan put down his chopsticks, touched An Xing's leg with his right hand, and slowly moved his fiery fingers upwards, "Don't think that I dare not do anything to you in public! Stop teasing me!"

An Xing hurriedly jumped up, put the bowls and chopsticks on the dinner plate, and fled the scene of the fire, leaving Li Shaoyan alone as a firefighter.

After sending Xiao Ke home, Li Shaoyan waited for An Xing to come back by bike, and gave him a bottle of Chengyunning, "I will pick you up at 03:30 tomorrow afternoon, and take the medicine half an hour in advance. One tablet is enough."

"Really?" An Xing looked at the small particles in the bottle, shook them, and made a crisp sound.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Li Shaoyan patted him on the shoulder, "Remember, take your medicine at three o'clock."

At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, An Xing's phone popped up an alarm to take medicine.After taking the medicine, he fidgets, can he fall asleep?Is it really okay to ride in a car after falling asleep?Was it a coincidence last time?What if I fall asleep early?What if I wake up early?This series of questions drove the sleepy bugs away.

When Li Shaoyan called, An Xing was still anxious.

"Didn't you say you were sleepy in half an hour? Why didn't I feel sleepy at all?" An Xing asked Li Shaoyan as soon as he got in the car.

Li Shaoyan sat with An Xing in the back seat, took his hand, and gave his cold hand some warmth.

"You're too nervous." Li Shaoyan put a pillow over and motioned for An Xing to lie down. "I'll go to the front row to accompany you, you sleep comfortably."

"Is it because the medicine is not strong enough, let me try another tablet?"

Li Shaoyan shifted to the driver's seat, "You can't take medicine blindly. I will accompany you. I have plenty of time. When you sleep soundly, you can leave."

"Well. Where are we going? I really don't need any food..." An Xing's voice became lower and lower.When Li Shaoyan turned his head again, An Xing had already fallen asleep.

The corner of Li Shaoyan's mouth twitched, and he lit the fire, turned on the lamp, and supplied oil with ease.This time is no better than last time, because it is still daytime, there are not many vehicles on the road, and there are many signal lights. It is obviously impossible to adjust the speed in a few seconds.Li Shaoyan can only make sure to lightly step on the brakes and lightly apply the accelerator, and don't let Anxing shake too much.

To get to the destination, you have to take a high-speed mountain road. The high speed is fine, but the mountain road is a bit of a test of Li Shaoyan's driving skills.Because this mountain road was built by the villagers themselves, it is not so smooth, and occasionally there are potholes.In order not to wake up An Xing, Li Shaoyan was cautious but frightened, for fear that the sleeping person in the back row would suddenly sit up.

After running all the way, it was already 06:30 in the parking lot. Li Shaoyan turned off the ignition, adjusted the back of the chair slightly, and took a rest.After 10 minutes, An Xing rubbed his eyes and sat up, "Are you there?"

"Just arrived," Li Shaoyan counted the time, the effect of the medicine is about three to four hours, after this time period, I can take him out to play.

"I'm really fine. Yeah, it's getting dark." An Xing opened the door and got off the car, and found himself standing on a mountainside with a river under the mountain and a brightly lit city on the other side of the river.He was in a pine forest at this time, a faint light could be seen in the depths of the pine forest, and the cold wind carried the fragrance of pine needles, which made people take a deep breath.For the first time in the past 20 years, he was far away from Taojiang City, everything was so novel, "What kind of place is this?"

Li Shaoyan took An Xing along the path in the pine forest, "My friend from the police academy changed careers and opened a homestay here. The beef hot pot is very good."

The homestay in the pine forest gradually came into their sight. It was a Japanese-style courtyard with a sign at the door: Tingtao.A bungalow on the left is the reception hall, with an open-air water bar on the roof.On the front and on the right are three-story buildings, each with six rooms.There is also a small courtyard at the back with a slightly smaller swimming pool and restaurants nearby.Garden bonsai can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, and the master's careful design can be seen. Wind chimes are hung under the eaves, and the wind blows and makes a jingling sound.

The outside style of the courtyard is obviously divided, and the place close to the cliff is surrounded by railings. There are two swing benches and three wooden round tables.There is also a gentle slope outside the courtyard. Down the gentle slope, there is a large flat area for barbecues and bonfires. There is also a standard basketball court and a small football field. This place is more like a lively place for parties.

An Xing was like Grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden. She felt that everything was new, and went around every place before arriving at the reception hall.The hall is full of books, tea table and sofas.Standing at the reception desk was a handsome man with a ball head who was watching a drama. When he saw Li Shaoyan, he immediately stood up, "Lizi! It's really you. I was shocked when you called to book a room."

"What's the matter? You Tingtao are all people with sentimentality. Don't you welcome me, who mingles with the people every day? David Liu."

"Hate it! Call me David." David glanced at An Xing who was standing by the bookshelf reading a book, and whispered, "Boyfriend? How did we ask you to bring someone out to play in the past, and you didn't. Why are you willing to bring it out today?"

"Because this is a boyfriend, not the previous ones." Li Shaoyan said.

An Xing felt someone looking at him, raised his head, adjusted his glasses, and smiled at David.

"It looks so comfortable, such a waist, such long legs..." David couldn't help but take a second look.

"Hey, hey, my man, you little girl." Li Shaoyan patted David on the shoulder, "Is the hot pot ready? I'm already hungry."

"Okay, let's bring you inside." David said, "It's cold today, and my stomach hurts from choking on eating outside."

"En. Which room?" Li Shaoyan asked.

"The river-view room on the right, on the third floor, has the best view, the quietest, and..." David whispered, "The best sound insulation."

Li Shaoyan smiled and gave him a blank look.

"An Xing, come and get to know him." Li Shaoyan greeted An Xing, "This is my friend David Liu. He is the one who runs this homestay, a rich man!"

"Just call me David." David greeted with a smile, "If you need anything, call me anytime. I'll send the food up later."

While talking, a few more guests came, and David apologized, "It's New Year's Eve today, and..." Li Shaoyan touched David's arm and snatched the key from him, "Hurry up and go Come on. Let's do it ourselves."

The room is a duplex. The downstairs is the bathroom and the living room. The bathroom has a large round bathtub for two people. There is no sofa in the living room, just a large tatami mat.The second floor is a bedroom with a king size bed and a balcony.There are round tables and chairs on the balcony, and you can see the river view and the opposite city.

An Xing has never stayed in a hotel, so feel this and see that, it's not fresh.The bell outside the door rang, and a guy came in pushing tonight's dinner.A small table was raised on the tatami mat, and a hot hot pot was placed on it.

"I always feel that we should eat some red wine steak in this room, and it's strange to eat hot pot." An Xing helped Li Shaoyan arrange the dishes as usual.

"Beef tendon and offal are the specialty here." Li Shaoyan said, "If you want to eat something else, I'll ask them to change it."

"Don't stop, I like to eat this." An Xing stopped, "Eat it while it's hot, the meat won't taste good when it's cold."

"Shut up, where are we? Are we still in Taojiang?" After eating a few pieces of warm beef, An Xing's face was rosy.I don't know if it's because of the lighting or because he was too excited, but the eyes under the thick lenses were rarely glowing.

"We are in Nanqu County. I really don't know which city we belong to." Li Shaoyan said, "But across the river is Liujing City in Province F."

"We've come this far?" An Xing's eyes widened.

"You can take my car now. In the future, I will take you to farther places." Li Shaoyan didn't drink alcohol, but only drank fruit juice.

"future?"

Li Shaoyan reached out and lifted An Xing's chin, and squeezed it hard, "Since we are together, you haven't thought about the future, have you?"

An Xing was dumbfounded. He, a man with a child, was mentally ill. Who could accept him?There are thousands of futures he has thought about: being alone for the rest of his life; like his own mother, buying a house around the child, taking care of her and her child not far or near, and Xiao Ke has to stay in Taojiang; etc. When Xiao Ke became an adult, he wandered in the streets and alleys of Taohuaping District by himself; he went to gay bars to spend time, and if he was lucky, he might meet someone, and then began a emotional journey of getting what he wanted... But he imagined In the future, there will be family affection, warmth, passion, and even a one-night stand, but there will be no love.

After meeting Li Shaoyan, he tried desperately to treat him well and make him happy.He may not deserve to have love, but at least he can have a memory of love, which can be recalled from time to time in his later years: I have loved someone like that.

Li Shaoyan stared at An Xing's slightly trembling thin lips, his lenses actually fogged up, covering his red eyes.Li Shaoyan said softly: "It doesn't matter if you didn't think about it before, can you put me in your future in the future?"
