Favor

When everything about Yao Xu was recovered and told to suspend it, Ni Xingqiao felt as if he was being pushed into the incinerator little by little.Finally, the moment he handed over the keys to the rental house to the landlord was the moment when his ashes were thrown into the sea.nothing left.

When he missed Yao Xu, there was nowhere to put that missing.Ni Xingqiao thanked the landlord politely, and left there with the few things he had.

Yao Xu's black schoolbag, and some clothes that he brought to the other party back then.

When that person left in a hurry, did he regret that he couldn't take them away? On a hot August day, Ni Xingqiao was walking on the street.

The sun was still shining brightly a few minutes ago, and suddenly it rained heavily.He hid in a nearby convenience store and stood by the window watching the rain for a while.

Showers come as soon as they say they come, and they go away quickly.

In ten minutes or so, the dark clouds moved elsewhere, and the heavy rain left only the dampness of the ground.

Ni Xingqiao hesitated before walking out of the convenience store, then turned around and bought a pack of cigarettes nervously and unfamiliarly.Going out with a cigarette, I suddenly remembered that there was no fire.

He turned back to the convenience store and bought a lighter for one yuan.The first time Ni Xingqiao drank was because he missed Yao Xu.The first time I smoked was also because I missed Yao Xu.

He hid in the alley, leaned his back against the wet wall, pulled out a cigarette expressionlessly, and put it awkwardly in his mouth.

Ni Xingqiao never thought that one day he would secretly smoke in a deserted alley, but he tried it, and no matter what he did, he couldn't relieve his yearning for Yao Xu, and this was the only way he hadn't tried yet.The cigarette was lit, and Ni Xingqiao coughed several times due to the choking.He frowned, a little disgusted, but put it on his lips again.He inhaled hard like the adults did, but this time he was choked to tears.

That feeling was really uncomfortable, but Ni Xingqiao suddenly tasted the sweetness, and smoked like a masochist, choking his eyes red and tears streaming down.

He leaned there to finish a cigarette, feeling that he had exhausted his energy.

Ni Xingqiao walked out of the alley and continued on.

In fact, he didn't know where he was going, didn't want to go home, and had nowhere else to go.

Just wandering around the city aimlessly, he intends to take another look at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, after all, he will leave after a while.

In his opinion, Yao Xu has only two destinations, either Ancheng or Shancheng.

Ni Xingqiao didn't know where his confidence came from, he felt that the other party was around him.

Closing his eyes, Yao Xu must also be able to smell the fragrance of flowers after the rain he smelled.After walking like this for a long time, Ni Xingqiao didn't know where he was when he was tired.

It was another alley, the houses looked old, and the brick walls were a little mottled.

On the right-hand side of the pole was a small, dirty advertisement, and on the left was a row of shops, the closest to him being a tattoo parlor.He didn't know the name of the store, nor did he know which language it was in.

But the small sign hanging at the door says a tattoo is a metaphor for the soul.

Ni Xingqiao stopped to look at it for a long time, then stepped up the steps and walked into the tattoo shop.

When he came out again, it was almost dark, and since then, there was an extra sentence on the inside of his arm.A poem written in French. Monameeternelle, ObservetonvoeuMalgrelanuitseuleEtlejourenfeu. My eternal soul, watch your heart, even though the night is lonely and the day is burning.

When he walked into this tattoo shop, he didn't think about what to get tattooed, but when he sat on the comfortable sofa, drank the iced sparkling water given to him by the shop manager's sister, and finished talking about his waiting for a person And missing, the store manager's sister took out a book from the shelf and gave it to him.

It was a collection of poems by the French poet Rimbaud. The store manager's sister opened it and pointed out that line.

Ni Xingqiao, on the other hand, likes this poem, and also likes the name of this poem. "Rimbaud's "A Season in Hell," said the store manager's sister. "The young Rimbaud fell in love with the poet Verlaine. They were flamboyant and indulgent. They were both geniuses and lunatics. Verlaine even shot him because Rimbaud was about to leave. hit him."

Ni Xingqiao sat there, looking up at the store manager leaning on the table telling him the origin of this poem.

"After Verlaine was imprisoned, Rimbaud returned to France alone and wrote this poem."

Ni Xingqiao knew nothing about these poets, he had only heard of Rimbaud.

But he was fascinated by this poem, and felt that it was a reflection of his own soul. His soul was always watching Yao Xu's heart—even though the other party was far away that he didn't know.

Ni Xingqiao has been afraid of pain since he was a child. He was vaccinated with Yao Xu when he was a child, but he could cry for a long time when he didn't respond.

But this time, for Yao Xu's sake, he endured several hours of pain, keeping that line of the poem on the inside of his arm forever.When going out, Ni Xingqiao felt that what he tattooed was not just a poem, but more about his feelings for Yao Xu, who had no place to vent.

In the endless waiting and unknown, this relationship has gradually begun to become complicated.

At the end of August, Ni Xingqiao boarded the train to Shancheng.

Before he left, he was almost killed by Qi Meiling's knife. If the old man passing by hadn't stopped him for a while, the sharp knife would have penetrated into his body from behind.

Ni Xingqiao was really terrified at that time, his mind went blank, he thought he saw Yao Xu in a trance, but before he could stand up, he passed out first.

When he woke up, there was nothing left.

After that, Qi Meiling didn't show up again, and Ni Xingqiao didn't want to know where she went.

For the rest of his life, Ni Xingqiao finally went to the mountain city.He only has one suitcase and a black backpack.In the suitcase are some of his clothes and the letters Yao Xu left him.

The black schoolbag is Yao Xu's, and inside is his admission notice.

Ni Xingqiao is a guy who likes to rely on others, but this time he went to a distant university to study, he refused his parents' request to send him there, and set foot on the train alone.

Lin Yuzhou promised him that he would come to pick him up and let him go to the mountain city with confidence.

Along the way, Ni Xingqiao listened to the song with earphones on, imagining over and over again that when he got off the train, Yao Xu would stand at the exit with a smile waiting for him to run over.

Ni Xingqiao had a lot to say to Yao Xu, he wanted to complain, reprimand, and express his feelings.

He found that everyone who cannot love is a poet, who can speak unforgettable verses.

Little by little, he built up his belief that Yao Xu was waiting for him in the mountain city.

However, when he got off the train and searched among the crowd, he only saw Lin Yuzhou standing there, eating happily with a KFC bag in his hand. "What do you mean?" Ni Xingqiao said, "I thought it was for me."

"It's for you." Lin Yuzhou said, "I'll just help you eat some chicken wings." Ni Xingqiao felt his legs were swollen after sitting in the car for too long.Lin Yuzhou gave him KFC and took the suitcase in his hand. "How is your progress?" Ni Xingqiao asked him, "Did Lu Zheming fall asleep?"

Lin Yuzhou sneered and said, "He is as stupid as a log." "Understood, I didn't sleep well."

It was rare for Ni Xingqiao to smile. He found that he was quite wicked, and he felt balanced when he had friends with him but couldn't love him. "You can stay at my house for the next two days," Lin Yuzhou said, "Anyway, I won't report until the end of the day, and I'll take you to play for two days."

Ni Xingqiao didn't refuse, and followed Lin Yuzhou back home.Shancheng is much larger than Ancheng, and the economic environment is better, that is to say, housing prices are higher.

When Ni Xingqiao followed Lin Yuzhou into the 300-square-meter flat floor of his house, he suddenly realized that this was the young master of a rich family.Young Master Lin said, "My mother is still abroad. During this period of time, I live here by myself every day, and I'm suffocated to death."

"If you're bored, just roll around at home, roll around in each room, and most of the day will be over."

"You are so yin and yang." Lin Yuzhou led him into the room, "You will feel uncomfortable if you don't run on me for a day." Ni Xingqiao smiled.

The two entered the room, and Ni Xingqiao went to the living room window to look into the distance.Lin Yuzhou came over with an iced drink, "Drink or drink." "Drink is fine." Ni Xingqiao said, "I'm afraid you will do something wrong to me if I drink too much."

"You have a good idea!" Lin Yuzhou said, "You rest first, and when the night cools down, I will take you out to play.

Ni Xingqiao didn't ask him where he was going to play at night, it doesn't matter, just do whatever you want.Lin Yuzhou saw Ni Xingqiao's tattoo on the inside of his arm sharply, and asked him, "What is this?"

Ni Xingqiao looked down, and then said, "A love letter to Yao Xu."

"Okay, you." Lin Yuzhou said, "Then I'll get a tattoo another day, just on my butt." "A love letter to Lu Zheming"

"I'm not as nasty as you." Lin Yuzhou said, "I'm going to tattoo his name on my butt, and if I get angry, I'll sit on him to death."

Ni Xingqiao laughed wildly, and Lin Yuzhou said, "It's been a long time since you laughed so happily."

Ni Xingqiao took a sip of his drink and thought for a while, "After Yao Xu left, I can't find anything to be happy about."

The two stood in front of the window, Lin Yuzhou sighed.After a while, Lin Yuzhou put his hand on Ni Xingqiao's shoulder. "I'm no worse than Yao Xu, and you're not bad either." Lin Yuzhou said, "Why don't you follow me, and I'll take you to find new fun." Of course Ni Xingqiao knew he was joking, so he also She smiled maliciously and said, "Okay, then we two will have a bridal chamber tonight." "...Ni Xingqiao, you have changed."

"What have I changed?" Ni Xingqiao said, "Isn't this following your words?"

Lin Yuzhou poked Xiu's furrowed eyebrows and said, "You're becoming more and more out of tune."

He said jokes on his lips, but he didn't laugh at all the jokes in his heart.Lin Yuzhou looked at his habitually frowning brows, and felt that love is really harmful.

"Ask you a question." Lin Yuzhou said. "ask."

"If one day you really meet Yao Xu, what should you tell him first?"

Ni Xingqiao thought about it seriously, and he didn't say "Come and have sex with me" until he finished his drink and crushed the can. Lin Yuzhou glanced at him and fell down by the window laughing.
