Xia Chang

After all, Zhang Nian and Teng Xi did not go rafting, whether in dream or reality.

Zhang Niancuo felt that something heavy was blocked in his head. He opened his eyes, looked at the dim light in the room, and then grabbed the mobile phone that had already been turned off automatically from the bedside.

The new phone case was very slippery, and the blackened screen reflected Zhang Nian's tired face. For a while, he didn't know where to go. After getting out of bed and looking out the window, he realized that it was raining.

Black clumped clouds overlapped and connected, covering buildings and people in damp urns.

Zhang Nian went to the living room and found the glass on the coffee table. There was still half of the water in the glass, and the other half was drunk by Zhang Nian who had rushed back from a nearby city not long ago.

He didn't know how long he slept, but he slept deeply, and with his wobbly thoughts, he participated in a dream.

No one was at home, not even Zhang Qi came back. Zhang Nian blinked his sour eyes. He found half a baguette in the refrigerator, so he took it out mechanically, and took two bites thinking about it.

The phone was turned on successfully, but unexpectedly, Zhang Nian didn't even hear from Teng Xi; the first thing he had to do was to call Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi asked him if he was happy.

"Why put a condom in my bag?" Zhang Nian asked her inexplicably, and her tone became a little tough.

Zhang Qi was probably engaged in some kind of entertainment, she hesitated for a moment, and in the dynamic and cheerful music, said: "For contraception... No way, Zhang Nian, please be more civilized, please, I'm just thinking about you, you guys It's still young after all."

"But I'm useless. She saw it when she took something out of my bag, and thought I was going to follow her... Anyway, I left early, and I'm back now."

Zhang Nian raised his glass to drink water again. He took a deep breath and said, "That's how I'm with her."

Half an hour later, the rain gradually thinned and slanted, like a floating mist in the breeze, Zhang Nian went out, he called Liu Xiaobai and asked where he was.

The lights in the noodle shop were fairly bright, and the rain outside poured from pouring to continuous to pouring again; Liu Xiaobai was holding a stack of bowls in both hands, and was about to go from the disinfection cabinet to the kitchen.

He heard Zhang Nian's voice.

Suddenly the violent rain resumed, like countless bricks falling, making a noisy and piercing sound. In front of the dark outdoor background, Zhang Nianzheng was carrying an umbrella that was dripping rapidly. He came in and was greeted by Wang Yanwen. position on the stage.

Liu Xiaobai folded back again, put the bowl on the table, and asked him, "Are you finished with your trip?"

"Yes." Zhang Nian was still full of exhaustion, he nodded, and looked at Liu Xiaobai with a focused and calm gaze.

Liu Xiaobai suddenly laughed, and said, "I didn't bring the toy I bought for you, but I'm so stupid, you will definitely like it, it looks very, very similar to you."

"How can you look like me..."

"It's not ugly, it's cute!" After finishing speaking, Liu Xiaobai picked up the stack of bowls again, turned around and went to the kitchen. Every step he took was not heavy and procrastinated. Even if he sacrificed time to help the family during the summer vacation, he was very serious.

Wang Yanwen brought beef noodles to Zhang Nian herself, and she asked, "Do you have a girlfriend, Zhang Nian?"

"what?"

"I guessed, Xiaobai said who did you hang out with, I thought it was your girlfriend..."

The sound of the rain was so loud that people's ear canals trembled, and Wang Yanwen's words were nothing more than jokes and homely things; later, Liu Xiaobai came out again, wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and a very clean blue plaid apron.

He sat down opposite Zhang Nian, the electric fan on the wall shook his head, blowing Liu Xiaobai's clean hair, he watched Zhang Nian eating noodles, without saying a word.

Everything seems to be arranged properly, there is a tacit understanding between them that there is no need to talk at any time, Zhang Nian is eating noodles, he suddenly raised his head, but didn't say anything.

"You haven't been playing for long, have you?" Liu Xiaobai asked after he finally figured out the time when he was free.

Zhang Nian said: "I came back early. She didn't come back when I came back. She still wanted to stay...I was too tired. I caught the high-speed train early in the morning and fell asleep when I got home. Until the afternoon, I still...forget it. Yes, nothing."

Rainy days always give everyone and everything a sense of mystery. The rain curtain can isolate everything, accept an open heart, and dissolve part of the concealment and misunderstanding.

"What's the matter?" Liu Xiaobai blinked, but couldn't suppress his strong curiosity. He had to do something again, so he could only stand up and look at Zhang Nian with an anxious expression.

Zhang Nian shook his head, he said, "I forgot."

After a tiring day, a bowl of carbohydrates could not be more satisfying. Zhang Nian finished the bowl of noodles very slowly, and his mind became clearer. He was surprised that he came here very quickly after waking up.

When we were leaving, the rain did not stop. Zhang Nian was very irritable. He suddenly had something difficult to solve and regretted it. He stood by the roadside and said to Liu Xiaobai: "Some people say that people who appear in dreams, wake up You should go see him."

"...Unbelievable, I dreamed about you today."

That's why I'm here.

The second half of the sentence was swallowed by something, the soft and calm words seemed to carry illusions, and the moment they came out, they suddenly led the atmosphere to a strange place.

Liu Xiaobai was laughing, his eyes were bent, and he touched Zhang Nian's shoulder with a hearty hand, and said, "I don't believe it."

He probably didn't panic at all, and wanted to choke habitually, making an innocuous joke with Zhang Nian.

Zhang Nian regretted again, he couldn't accept that he suddenly became contradictory, impulsive, emotional, and always confident, he completely denied himself in an instant.
