back edge

Chen Yu didn't say anything until the end, Xie Jingnian couldn't remember who hung up the phone first in the atmosphere of infinite silence.

Because he had already burst into tears.

He stood in front of the window and looked at the darkness, his skin tightened after the tears dried, making one feel that just closing his eyelids became so heavy.

Xie Jingnian did not go back during the seven-day holiday on October [-], but chose to stay in school.

Liang Yuan said that he wanted to travel to other cities with Han Ce.Originally, Han Ce proposed this because he wanted to have a sweet date for two people, but Liang Yuan didn't expect Xie Jingnian to be in a bad mood, so he abruptly turned the date into a threesome.

Xie Jingnian was sitting in the back seat, and he could feel the low pressure on Han Ce's body without looking through the rearview mirror. Since we met this morning, his face has been livid.It was probably because Xie Jingnian, a big light bulb added inexplicably, disturbed his good mood.

"Go wherever you need to go, don't worry about me." Xie Jingnian lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, pursing his lips, "I can just go shopping by myself."

The last call on the screen remained at the top of the call log, and this was the first time Xie Jingnian refused to answer Chen Xi's call.

"What are you doing? You look like someone owes you money." Liang Yuan was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, while waiting for the red light, he leaned over and pinched Han Ce's paralyzed face with his hands.

Han Ce didn't dodge it, but pulled Liang Yuan's hand to his lips and kissed him, making a loud "Bo".

"Just give me a kiss." Han Ce said.

"My friend is still here, can you be more serious." Liang Yuan withdrew his hand, looked back at Xie Jingnian who was bowing his head, and pinched Han Ce again, "Drive hard."

As a result, Han Ce's face became even more stinky.

After driving for six hours, we finally arrived at the beach.You can see the blue sea from the hotel window.

Xie Jingnian sat in front of the window, opened the window, and heard the sound of waves rolling in his ears, the sea and sky in the distance, light blue and dark blue meet, and all kinds of people can be seen on the beach.

It was originally a picture that made people feel that the years are quiet, but Xie Jingnian felt lonely for no reason.

Chen Xi.

Since the third brother Xie left, Chen Yu was everything to Xie Jingnian.

Not answering the phone, not checking the news, Xie Jingnian tried to experience life without old age.It's only been half a day, and the throbbing in his heart that misses Chen Xi is already surging like the waves outside the window, which cannot be suppressed.

Someone knocked on the door of the hotel, and Liang Yuan's clear voice came: "Xie Jingnian, go down and play?"

Xie Jingnian got up and opened the door, only opened a small gap, enough to reveal one eye: "I don't want to go, you go."

After hearing this, Han Ce was about to leave with his arms around Liang Yuan, but Liang Yuan's slender wrist suddenly came in through the crack of the door, grabbed Xie Jingnian's clothes and pulled him out.

"You want to go." Liang Yuan tugged at Xie Jingnian and said unreasonably, "Go quickly."

The sand on this beach is so fine and soft that it seems that people can sink if they step on it.

Xie Jingnian sat on the beach, his toes were submerged in the cool sea water, and his legs were wetted by waves after waves.

Liang Yuan didn't know how to swim, so he wore a bright yellow duckling swimming ring, and was led by Han Ce to dangle in slightly deeper waters.

Han Ce pretended to be unsteady, and even the swimming ring with Liang Yuan kept shaking, so frightened that he thought he was about to fall into the water, and he screamed and screamed.

Xie Jingnian couldn't hear what they said clearly, but the corners of his mouth still raised involuntarily, and the heaviness all over his body also subsided a lot.

The weather in the capital was good and bad. When the three of them returned, there was a drizzle, and it turned into a heavy rain by the time they got to school.

No one brought an umbrella, Xie Jingnian got out of the car in the rain and rushed into the guard room with his coat on, startling the guard.

"Hey you young man, why don't you bring an umbrella when you go out?" The uncle sat on the chair and sipped his tea, "It's been raining for the past few days, so it's not good to be sick by then. worried."

Xie Jingnian shook his wet coat, nodded in agreement, and said that he forgot to check the weather forecast.

It was very warm in the guard room, and the coldness caused by the rain was also relieved a lot.There is a small black TV on a small wooden table. Although it is an old-fashioned one, it looks very new, and the sound and picture are very clear.

There was a criminal investigation drama on TV, and Xie Jingnian was fascinated watching it.

"Come on, young man," the uncle took a plastic stool and put it beside him, "Sit here and watch."

Xie Jingnian came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hands: "I don't want to watch, thank you sir, I have to go back to the dormitory."

The uncle glanced at the almost pea-sized raindrops outside the house, took out an umbrella from the drawer, stuffed it into Xie Jingnian's arms, and asked him to hold it.

Xie Jingnian couldn't refuse, and was thrown out of the guard room by the uncle directly with an umbrella.

He walked quickly to the dormitory building under an umbrella. The rainwater splashed on the ground, and there was a mist under his feet, as if the rain could make smoke.So much so that Xie Jingnian immediately stepped into the door with one leg and saw a person squatting downstairs.

The man squatted against the wall, the umbrella surface was deformed by the rain, Xie Jingnian could see that his jacket was already half wet, his feet were completely submerged in the water, and his shoes must have been soaked long ago.

Xie Jingnian looked at him, not knowing why, but walked over, stood in front of him and tilted the umbrella slightly.

Just as he was about to ask the classmate what difficulties he had encountered, the man raised his head.

He looked up with a pair of eyes, his hair was soaked, and the rain slid down his face, squatting in the corner of the dormitory building, like an abandoned pet, desolate and pitiful.

Xie Jingnian was instantly shocked by Chen Xi's expression, until the cold rain fell into the back of his neck.

"Brother Xiu, why are you here?" Xie Jingnian asked in a panic.

Why are you at school, why would you rather be here in the rain, and why have you made yourself so embarrassed.

He didn't ask any of these.

The black umbrella was thrown into the water by its owner, Chen Xi leaned over, resting his forehead on Xie Jingnian's shoulder, the hands on his waist could feel the cold temperature through his clothes.

"Brother Rotten..." Xie Jingnian's sourness was drawn out by Chen Xi's embarrassed appearance.

Chen Xie raised his head, and his pale lips were also icy cold when they pressed against them. When the tip of his tongue came in, Xie Jingnian even felt as if he was sucked into a piece of ice that was about to melt.

The originally cold touch became warm during the intertwining, Xie Jingnian stretched out his hand to gently wipe off the rain on Chen Xi's face, and touched his rosy lips again.

The two picked up the soaked black umbrella and went back to Xie Jingnian's bedroom together.

All the other roommates have gone home, and now only Xie Jingnian lives alone.

Chen Kui took a hot bath and came out naked, exposing his body in broad daylight under the pretext that his clothes and pants were all soaked.

The man came over and put one leg on Xie Jingnian's side, the smell of mint shower gel instantly filled Xie Jingnian's nostrils.

He whispered, I miss you, every year.
