The mountains and rivers are gentle today

At 36:[-] in the morning, when Lin Xiqing wrapped his coat and stood in the bitter winter wind of L City, he realized that he really seemed a little crazy.So she hugged the K paper bucket that was still half full, as if it would give her a little warmth that was better than nothing.

But, those pieces of fried chicken must have been frozen hard.

She squatted by the side of the road, waiting for the online hailing car to slowly stop in front of her.

The driver was a tall and strong man, his figure was too big to be called in the south, the street lights and car lights were very dim, and his eyes could not be seen clearly.

Lin Xiqing flinched and got into the back seat, directly behind the driver's seat.When she reported her destination, she almost blurted out of No. [-] Middle School of L City. She looked down at herself. She was quite strong among girls, but obviously not as thick as the driver's brother's half-thick arms. She changed her words and said to go to the West District Police Station.

"Go and deliver some food to my brother, he's been working hard on duty." She added, shaking the K-marked plastic bag in her hand towards the central rearview mirror in front of the driver's elder brother.

It is not a few steps from the police station to the rented house, not to mention the name of the police station gives people a little confidence.

The car-hailing driver in the cold weather was not willing to turn on the air conditioner. Lin Xiqing's mother's leftover iPhone was caught in her hand all the time, and the car was frozen out of power as soon as she got out of the car.

She squatted at the gate of the police station, holding the phone close to her bosom, and decided to wait for the phone screen to light up before heading to the rental house.In the early morning of the first day of the holiday, the street was dark and quiet, as if guarding a monster with its mouth wide open, ready to swallow people in at any time.

The area around the West District Police Station was originally deserted, but the No. [-] Middle School was not far away, and the No. [-] Middle School was not far away from the largest bar street in L City. Therefore, even though the street was almost deserted at this time, the police station was full of people. It was lively - full of troublemakers caught out of bars.

If it was daytime, Lin Xiqing would probably frown and shy away from it, but now she is greedy for the excitement of a lot of people—even if it is a group of social dregs—thinking like this, she took another two steps up , the white light in the hall of the police station illuminated half of her figure.

"Xiqing?" Someone patted her on the shoulder lightly.

She turned her head and saw that the man who came was a middle-aged man or a young man, wearing a police uniform, his eyes were black and blue.

"Brother Wu Zhe." Lin Xiqing smiled at him.

"I said it looks like you." Wu Zhe squatted beside Lin Xiqing, "Why don't you go home so late?"

"Come out and buy something to eat." Lin Xiqing shook the plastic bag of K - tonight's K is really crazy.

Wu Zhe laughed: "I don't understand you young people more and more. Little girl, don't come out alone so late, don't you usually read Weibo!"

"I'll go back after resting here for a while." Lin Xiqing just smiled.

Wu Zhe pressed Lin Xiqing's shoulder, stood up and said, "I'll take you back here after I finish dealing with the matter inside."

In the process of walking back with Wu Zhe, Lin Xiqing's cell phone finally turned on, and Cheng Yanfan replied to her with another question mark.

Alas, I can't sleep already.

Suddenly, Lin Xiqing looked at the surrounding buildings, came back to his senses, and quickly called Wu Zhe: "Hey, brother! I went wrong, I went the wrong way, my family is going that way!"

Wu Zhe stopped and slapped his head: "Sorry, I always remember that your family still lives in the West District. Didn't you move to the East District two years ago? Why did you come to the West District to buy something?"

"I rented a house here, so it's more convenient for me to go to school." Lin Xiqing led Wu Zhe to the direction of No. [-] Middle School, "I share a rent with a... friend."

"Very good." Wu Zhe walked up to Lin Xiqing side by side, and soon arrived at the alley in front of the rented house, "Hey, look, the light is still on in that house. Your friend is waiting for you, I'm afraid, hurry up Let's go!"

Lin Xiqing nodded and bid farewell to Wu Zhe.

Suddenly Wu Zhe stopped her, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Recently...you must pay attention to safety."

When Lin Xiqing pushed the door and entered, Cheng Yanfan was leaning on the wooden armchair that was probably older than both of them combined, looking at his phone.Seeing her come in, Cheng Yanfan squinted his eyes, as if a little surprised: "I thought you were sleepy, did you really come here?"

"I thought you kept the lights on so late just to wait for me, but you didn't expect me to come over at all, did you?" Lin Xiqing put the K Ji family bucket that appeared too frequently tonight on the table, "Eat Don’t eat it? Put it in the microwave and turn it around, it should taste okay.”

Cheng Yanfan stood up and lifted the piece of paper on the family bucket that served as the lid: "You have half of the family bucket left over from the party, just bring it here for me to eat?"

Cheng Yanfan looked puzzled, and Lin Xiqing once again realized that he might really be a little crazy tonight.

"There was no party, so I ordered a family bucket by myself, and finally found that I couldn't finish it." Lin Xiqing went back to find out—this is indeed the truth, "Eat, eat, I just happened to be hungry after walking so far."

Lin Xiqing detoured Yanfan to turn on the microwave oven, and suddenly realized that this self-built house, who didn’t know when it was built, was not even willing to install a TV. On the night of New Year’s Eve, he had a party in front of the mottled white walls. Junk food is a must, as if it wasn't lively enough.

So when Lin Xiqing came out with a plate of greasy fried chicken that had been heated in the microwave, he turned on his phone and clicked on a playlist.

Cheng Yanfan has been sitting on the wooden stool without moving his seat, but his eyes have shifted from his mobile phone, following Lin Xiqing's figure, his eyes are empty, he doesn't know whether he is sleepy or in a trance.

Lin Xiqing moved a stool to sit next to her, only then did Lin Xiqing notice that she smelled heavily of alcohol.

This is really coming back from the party.

Lin Xi sneered, and suddenly remembered today—ah no, yesterday afternoon, Cheng Yanfan said that he put on heavy makeup for work.

She remembered not long ago, when Cheng Yanfan drank and vomited in the sink for several nights.

Wouldn't it be the same tonight?

Lin Xiqing glanced out of the kitchen window. Although it was blocked by buildings, she knew it was in the direction of Bar Street.

She knew what Cheng Yanfan was doing every night.

But at this moment, she couldn't feel disgust in her heart.Under the dim incandescent light with low power, she stared seriously at Cheng Yanfan's eyes for the first time.

Those are really a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, ruthless yet full of intentions, even if the eye makeup is almost applied to the cheeks at this moment, it can give people the illusion of falling.

Lin Xiqing's mind automatically played back Cheng Yanfan's dances she had seen, the eight-year-old dance, the 17-year-old dance... A person with such a proud and sharp eyes on the stage is unlikely to be like Lin Xiqing in the seventh middle school. Many people in the past abused themselves like that.

Lin Xiqing shook his head, trying to get rid of his strange thoughts, and finally just asked, "Are you... a little short of money?"

Lin Xiqing regretted asking this question, if Cheng Yanfan nodded, what would she do?She herself chose to stay in this school because she provided living expenses and exempted tuition and miscellaneous fees from No. [-] Middle School.

Cheng Yanfan shook his head, and took a chicken nugget that didn't look too oily.

Lin Xiqing watched Cheng Yanfan nibbling that small piece of chicken, and for some reason, felt terrified.

Suddenly, Cheng Yanfan's tears rolled down his cheeks.

The teardrops were wrapped in non-waterproof eyeliner ink, and there were gray-black water marks on the face.

Very embarrassing.

"What... what's wrong?" Lin Xiqing hastily picked up a tissue and wiped it on Cheng Yanfan's face. Halfway through the wipe, he felt that he had crossed the line. At this moment, Cheng Yanfan also realized his gaffe, took the paper from Lin Xiqing's hand, Gently pressed the corner of his eye.

"I'm sorry." Cheng Yanfan covered his nose with a paper and sniffed, "I lost my composure after drinking."

"...It's okay." Lin Xiqing wanted to pass another piece of paper to Cheng Yanfan, but found that there were only a few oil-absorbing papers left on the table, so she struggled to think about how to start the next topic. Find someone to talk to, "If... If you are really unhappy, you can say it."

"You can treat me as a tree hole." Lin Xiqing patted Cheng Yanfan on the shoulder, and after opening his head, the follow-up words seemed to be easy to say, "You think, apart from living together, we have no social circle. Intersection. There is no ideal tree hole than mine."
