very close to the clouds

Jiang Zhongyu seemed to be an acquaintance with the person on the other end of the phone. After talking about the business, the other end asked him something, and he lowered his voice and said something casually.

"I'm going back now," Jiang Zhongyu said, "Tell her not to worry."

"Sure, then I'll call her tomorrow," Jiang Zhongyu smiled wryly, "Isn't it because she didn't answer my call?"

"Understood, call tomorrow when there is a signal."

Jiang Zhongyu finally cut off the phone.

Shen Yanbai sat on the ground rubbing his calf, and asked him, "When are you coming?"

"Estimated to be around nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Don't you know this person?" Shen Yanbai said, "Can't you let him work overtime or something, come here to pick us up tonight?"

Jiang Zhongyu glanced at him, squatted down and pulled his denim jacket, and said, "I have something to do at home. Let's go."

Shen Yanbai didn't expect that Jiang Zhongyu's hands were so strong that he could be pulled an inch by the other party when he was sitting on the denim jacket, so he stood up feeling unhappy, and said, "What a big deal it can be."

"Do you not want to make do in the wild, or are you afraid of wolves?"

Shen Yanbai didn't answer him. After all, a straight man like Jiang Zhongyu must not understand that it takes courage for him to live in the same room with a man who is lonely and widowed. What's more, Jiang Zhongyu just hit a certain hobby of his.

Shen Yanbai took several steps forward before turning his head and asking: "From now on, don't talk."

"……what?"

Shen Yanbai raised his finger and gestured "shh" in front of his mouth——

Jiang Zhongyu was too lazy to deal with his young master's temper anytime and anywhere, and did his own thing, but the two of them did not speak on the way back.

Jiang Zhongyu put the two seats in the front row back, and the two of them lay one on each side, barely able to spend the night in the car, but it was a pity that in the early morning, Shen Yanbai was so cold that he sat up and covered himself. Mouth cough.

Jiang Zhongyu opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Shen Yanbai: "Don't talk."

Jiang Zhongyu: "...Are you sick?"

The good-tempered Jiang Zhongyu also lost his temper once in a while, and frowned and said, "Are you cold?"

"A little bit." Shen Yanbai said, "The room is like an icehouse. I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth, and I can't sleep. What time is it now?"

Shen Yanbai looked down at the watch on his wrist, the hour hand stayed on 9, and hadn't moved.

Jiang Zhongyu also glanced at it: "Is your watch broken?"

"En." Shen Yanbai leaned back on the seat with her eyes closed, and responded softly.

He heard that Jiang Zhongyu opened the door and got out of the car, and then went to the trunk to fiddle with something, Shen Yanbai was so dizzy, he couldn't move in a daze, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

After a long time, I heard Jiang Zhongyu's voice again: "Cover."

A very thick quilt-like thing was pressed on Shen Yanbai's body, that thing was cold and hard, making Shen Yanbai involuntarily miss the down quilt at home, which was light and warm.

But something is better than nothing.

"If you can't sleep, don't sleep," Jiang Zhongyu stretched out his hand to pat his face, and said, "If you have a fever, it's better to stay here until dawn."

Shen Yanbai felt the temperature of the opponent's palm - like a stove that roasted the side of his face for an instant, it didn't make people feel uncomfortable, but it was unusually warm. Shen Yanbai subconsciously leaned towards the opponent's palm, and grabbed Jiang with one hand. Zhongyu's wrist never let go.

Finally found a place where he could draw heat, Shen Yanbai didn't care whether he was alone or not.

Jiang Zhongyu twitched his hand, but didn't pull it away, and said, "Look at the stars, and find something for yourself to do."

The cold and hard thing finally worked. Shen Yanbai opened his eyes only to find that he was wearing a military overcoat, which was so big that it almost covered his whole body.

After regaining consciousness, Shen Yanbai realized that he was holding Jiang Zhongyu's hand and would not let it go, and even put his face in Jiang Zhongyu's palm, his ears turned red from embarrassment.

Turning his head to look at Jiang Zhongyu's expression, it was as flat as if nothing had happened - this is indeed a straight man, Shen Yanbai thought.

Shen Yanbai let go of Jiang Zhongyu's hand as naturally as possible, and asked him, "Aren't you cold?"

"It's okay." Jiang Zhongyu clasped his hands together, and white mist rose from his lips when he spoke, "Find something to do to distract your attention, why don't you take off your watch and I'll fix it for you?"

"Can you still repair watches?" Shen Yanbai asked him.

"Well, I used to be..." Jiang Zhongyu's eyes flickered as if remembering something unhappy, and then he said, "I used to stay in one place for a long time. When I have nothing to do in my free time, I just learn Watch repair is one of them.”

Jiang Zhongyu stared at Shen Yanbai's wrist and said, "Take it off?"

"Forget it." Shen Yanbai subconsciously hid his right hand behind his back, and said lightly, "I don't wear a watch to check the time. If it breaks, it breaks. It won't have much impact."

At this time, Jiang Zhongyu felt that Shen Yanbai was a bit strange, who wears a watch not to tell the time?

But he didn't continue to ask. After all, everyone has a little secret, and he has it too. Isn't Shen Yanbai very measured in not asking him.

Shen Yanbai closed his eyes, let out a sigh of relief, and asked, "So where did you stay for a long time?"

Jiang Zhongyu: "..."

You shouldn't have too many fantasies about this squeamish young master, Jiang Zhongyu thought.

"I didn't want to pry into your privacy," Shen Yanbai explained, "I just think it's boring now anyway, so find some topics to talk about, otherwise the atmosphere will be too embarrassing."

Jiang Zhongyu said: "Look at the stars, after you leave here, you won't be able to see such stars."

Shen Yanbai paused for a moment, then raised his head, his attention was instantly attracted by the stars all over the sky.

Although the weather is cold, it does not hide the beauty of the world at all.There is a blue halo at the end of the black sky in the distance, and the silent Hoh Xil has left countless amazing touches for the magnificence in the middle of the night.

Seeing the sunset and the stars in one day, many years later, thinking of this night, Shen Yanbai still couldn't forget the person sitting beside him. He took him to see the most beautiful sunset in the world, and the most beautiful of stars.

"There are a lot of them?" Jiang Zhongyu asked him, "Compared to when we were young, there are very few stars now, but when you look up, you will still feel shocked."

It was hard for Shen Yanbai to imagine a more shocking scene than the present one, so he asked, "You looked better when you were young?"

"Of course," Jiang Zhongyu said, "Every day is like living in a painting."

Shen Yanbai nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly became more curious about Jiang Zhongyu: "Are you a local?"

Jiang Zhongyu glanced at him, did not answer directly, but smiled: "What do you think?"
