back edge

Sitting in the dining room, Xie Jingnian couldn't believe that the person who was cooking in an apron in the kitchen was Chen Shi.

Regarding everything about last night, he seemed to have lost his memory, and he couldn't remember anything at all, all relying on Zhou Yantong's narration to help him recall.

"Hey, brother, are you the one in the legend?" Zhou Yantong sat across from him with a look of great interest, probably because he had never seen such a rare species like him.

"I don't know." Xie Jingnian rested his forehead on the edge of the table, his mind was confused, "I didn't drink before."

How could he say that Chen Xi is not a dog?

While this is true,...

"Don't drink any more."

Chen Kui put fried rice with eggs on the table, turned his back to Xie Jingnian, and motioned to help him untie his apron.

"Did you hear that?"

After hearing no reply for a long time, Chen Kui knelt down in front of Xie Jingnian.His upper body was bare, his undulating arms hooked Xie Jingnian's neck, forcing him to look at each other.

Chen Kui has a pair of fierce eyes, the eyeballs are tilted up.

Those who lay more white are evil.It is said that such a person is hostile, seldom speaks, and deviates from the scriptures.

At this moment, stared at by such wolf-like eyes, and as if being held in the back of the neck, Xie Jingnian really felt the oppressive feeling of belonging to an adult male.

This made him roll his Adam's apple, secretly swallowing.His breathing also became rapid, and his eyes rolled and couldn't find where they fell: "Got it."

Immediately afterwards, he added another sentence, Brother Xiu.

"Let's eat." Chen Xi got up and let go of Xie Jingnian, and squeezed the side of his neck, "Your homeroom teacher called in the morning and asked you to leave."

Before Xie Jingnian could say his thanks, Chen Xi took off his apron and went to change his clothes.

"Chen Xi, have you cleaned up your house yet?"

Zhou Yantong's meal can almost be regarded as a whirlwind.The plate was full, and there was only a few words left: "I just happen to be free today, so I can sell it quickly."

"Okay." Chen Kui fumbled in his trouser pocket while walking towards the dining table, "Where is my lighter?"

"Who knows where you lost it, use mine." Zhou Yantong took out the lighter and threw it over, then said to Xie Jingnian, "Brother, are you going home soon?"

Xie Jingnian was chewing on fried rice with eggs, and before he could swallow it, he said he would stay and help clean up.

The so-called tidying up means that there are many items that need to be collected and summarized.But the room was full of miscellaneous things, and it was rare for Xie Jingnian, who was good at tidying up, to be at a loss what to do.

Zhou Yantong also stood at the door and watched in amazement: "I just want to know how you moved these things from the capital."

"Consignment, have you heard of it?" Chen Xi walked in, kicked away the debris under his feet, and cleared out the place to stay.

"I'm telling you my brother," Zhou Yan said with a smirk on his face, pulling Xie Jingnian to whisper, "Don't look at him as cold and cool, but he's actually very nostalgic, and he doesn't want to throw away anything..."

"Zhou Yantong, if you say something more, get out."

"Don't, I'm leaving, who will help you clean up."

"Your brother is more capable than you."

Zhou Yantong looked around and saw that Xie Jingnian had already started to roll up his sleeves to work.

"Young people don't talk about martial arts, how can you get away with it?"

As Zhou Yantong said, he picked up an alarm clock at hand, it was pink, it looked old, and the paint leather had already faded away, "Hey, Chen Xi, isn't this a gift from your first love? Why do you still keep it?" ?”

"First love, what a fart." Chen Xi kicked him from behind, and Zhou Yantong almost threw him to the ground: "Throw it away quickly."

After that, many strange things were discovered.There are kumiss from Inner Mongolia, nesting dolls brought back from Russia, and broken vacuum cleaners.

"You're sick. Why do you bring this thing here if it's broken?"

"roll."

Xie Jingnian also saw a bunch of crushed roses in the corner, which were already withered and rotten: "Brother Yu, where is the mop, this one needs to be mopped."

Chen Xi turned his head and looked at the roses in a daze.

"This flower..." Seeing that he was staring at it, Xie Jingnian picked up the flower.The rotten smell was strong, not stinky but still pungent.

"Throw it away." Chen Xi put down the acoustic guitar, and reached out to Xie Jingnian, "Give it to me."

Not knowing the meaning of this rotten rose, even Zhou Yantong, who had been chattering, fell silent, with a rare melancholy expression on his face.

However, this slightly heavy atmosphere did not last long.Zhou Yantong pulled Xie Jingnian to sit down, playing with the old acoustic guitar with great interest: "Brother, shall I teach you how to play the guitar?"

Xie Jingnian didn't understand any fingerings or chords, and in the end, a piece of music that Chen Xi didn't understand was played intermittently.

Chen Xi said that what Zhou Yan taught was wrong, and the fingering method was also wrong.

The heat source was attached to the back, and some rough palms covered it.Chen Jiu patiently moved Xie Jingnian's fingers and put them in the right position.

Zhou Yantong said that Xie Jingnian was talented, and he learned to play Little Star so quickly.

"Brother Jiu taught it well." Xie Jingnian's ears turned red, and his fingertips could not stop rubbing the cold strings.

After cleaning up, the sun has set.Zhou Yantong rented a van and planned to pack all his things and take them to the night market to sell.

It was Xie Jingnian's first visit to the night market, and the lights were much different from what he had imagined. Most of them were illuminated by the light bulbs hung up by the stall owners themselves.

On the contrary, the smell of snacks and the cries of selling things are particularly prominent.

Zhou Yantong drove to find a place to set up a stall, while Chen Xi took Xie Jingnian to wander around the night market.

Although the environment here doesn't look very good, the flow of people is huge. Xie Jingnian was crowded by the crowd several times and couldn't see Chen Shi, and almost got separated.

So Chen Yu put his arms around Xie Jingnian's shoulders and asked him what he would like to eat.

Then the hand never let go.

Xie Jingnian didn't say anything, Chen Yu stopped in front of a stall and bought a box of octopus balls for him: "I didn't eat tonight, let me have a bite."

"I'm not hungry, you go eat, brother rotten."

"I bought everything." After paying the money, Chen Kui asked the vendor for a few pieces of paper to put under the box, "It's hot, I'll hold it for you."

"Thank you bro."

Chen Xi didn't say anything, he stroked Xie Jingnian's head with his free hand, and then put his arms around his shoulders.

Xie Jingnian almost didn't need to pay much attention to the road ahead, because Chen Jiu would protect him in his arms, avoid pedestrians, and use his body strength to lead him along.

It's like a pair of ordinary young couples shopping.

The heat of the small octopus balls lingered on his lips for a short while, Xie Jingnian suddenly changed his mind, blew it off and handed it to Chen Xi's mouth.

Under the cover of darkness, Chen Xi didn't notice Xie Jingnian's little thought, and opened his mouth to bite it into his mouth: "It's okay, I'll bring a copy for your brother when I go back later."

"Ah."

As long as he thinks of him and Chen Xie kissing indirectly just now, Xie Jingnian becomes so excited that his legs go limp.

Chen Xi supported him, lowered his head and asked if he was tired from walking.

Xie Jingnian could only nod with a blushing face.

The two returned to the Octopus Maruko stall and bought another copy, which they brought back to Zhou Yantong.

"Oh, I'm so touched." Zhou Yantong sat on the ground holding small octopus balls, stuffed them hastily, and jumped up and down from the heat.

There are a lot of people buying things at this time, and their booth is in the middle, and soon some customers come to ask the price.

The aunt took the noisy grandson by the hand, picked up the doll and looked left and right, and finally asked, "How do you sell this little toy?"

Zhou Yantong got up and turned on the phone's flashlight to illuminate it.

"Fifty is not negotiable. This is a Russian matryoshka brought back from a foreign country. It has ten floors. It's authentic."

I don't know if it was Xie Jingnian brought back from abroad, but the aunt believed it, and immediately scanned the QR code to pay, and led the little grandson away.

He was still talking about letting his grandson go abroad to study when he grows up.

"It's really good, it's a good start." Zhou Yantong sat back satisfied and continued to eat his small octopus balls.

"Brother Yan, did you really bring that back from Russia?"

"Really, we bought it when we went to Russia to watch a concert. It's cheaper to sell her fifty."

Zhou Yantong couldn't stop after eating, he took the acoustic guitar and stuffed it into Chen Xi's arms: "Brother Yu, come quickly, rely on your talent to attract customers."

"Who can hear it when it's so loud."

Chen Xi said so, but still took the guitar and played the prelude.

Cityofstars

Are you shinning just forme

Cityofstars

There's so much that I can't see

Who knows

IfeltitfromthefirstembraceIsharedwithyou

That no-your-dreams

They've finally come true

It's still the old deep voice as always, accompanied by a somewhat old acoustic guitar.

In Xie Jingnian's eyes, Chen Xi is a cold, rock-like warm person, but at this moment he is very affectionate.

Even though his voice was somewhat covered by the taunts from the night market, Xie Jingnian still couldn't control his heartbeat.

Playing and singing the acoustic guitar was exactly as Zhou Yantong said, and attracted many people.They stopped in the evening breeze, or squatted down to listen carefully.

It wasn't until the end of the song that there was sparse applause from around, and many curious people heard the movement and came to join in the fun.

"Is this guitar also for sale?"

Chen Xi said yes.

The young man quickly asked if he could have a look.

He flipped the guitar around a few times, with unconcealable excitement in his voice: "Is this the autograph of the Tita band?"

"Yes. The farewell concert seven years ago."

The Tita band is the deepest and oldest precious memory in the rock circle. Many people embarked on the journey of chasing their dreams because of them.

Chen Yu and Zhou Yantong belonged to that group, and so did Fan Ren.

"I want this guitar. How much?"

"Since you know Tita, we are destined." Zhou Yantong said, "No money, I'll give it to you."

"How about that?"

The young man took out his mobile phone and wanted to scan the QR code, but Zhou Yantong stopped him to pay the money: "Brother Yu, don't just watch."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "You can take one hundred."

In the end, the young man paid 500 yuan and left with the guitar in his arms.The remaining sundries also sold out quickly, and there were not many left.

"Come on, it's past eight o'clock, let's withdraw." Zhou Yantong glanced at his phone and said.

Xie Jingnian had been immersed in Chen Xi's deep affection before, but when he heard that he only realized it after eight o'clock, his heart skipped a beat.

Today is the day he has to work, and he is already late.

The author has something to say:

The English lyrics are from the song "cityofstars" in the movie "La La Land"

The Tita band is fictional, a kind of spiritual existence.
