only time

Lian Shaoguang never thought that he would fall in love with someone so much younger than him until he met Qiu Rang.

On that day, he was working at Shishi for the first time and greeted guests at the door.Among the pedestrians coming and going, he saw Qiu Rang at a glance.

Qiu Rang is tall and slender, with a soft face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose, and thin lips.At first glance, he looks very popular.But in fact, he is really popular, surrounded by a few ladies of similar age, talking and laughing with them, while paying attention to passers-by not to bump into them.

He met his eyes, and he smiled at him.That smile was like a ray of sunlight coming in from the gap in his heavy curtains, warming the cold room.

The good-looking and gentlemanly Qiu Rang lived in Lian Shaoguang's heart like this.

Qiu Rang is a frequent customer of Qi Shi, the kind who will come to the store two or three times a week on weekdays, and always come with a few female colleagues every time.

He joked with them, let them make fun of him, and had a good temper.He also always helped him bring the dishes to the table, saying softly: "Thank you, be careful."

One day, when he found that he was always sneaking at Qiu Rang intentionally or unintentionally, he panicked.

He had an unknown dark experience, which made him lose his parents and made him hate his homosexual identity.

Soon, he ridiculously discovered that it was impossible for him and Qiu Rang to have more interactions.How could a sunny person like Qiu Rang like himself who lives in the shadows?Qiu Rang... What he should have is a girlfriend with a sweet smile and a sweet smile.

That's all, it's just mediocrity.

He never thought that one day, he would have more interactions with Qiu Rang, until that day, he spent a lot of effort to drag Qiu Rang home who was drunk and unconscious.

He helped Qiu Rang to scrub clean, observed that face at close range, and his heart surged with emotion.

From this beginning, Qiu Rang began to approach him actively.He also started to struggle with contradictions.

Qiu Rang's irregular work and rest made him feel uneasy.

Qiu Rang made a dinner appointment with him, and he looked forward to it every day, but he didn't want Qiu Rang to show up, because showing up meant working overtime.

Qiu Rang always laughed and told him what happened around him, including how he was "bullied" by female colleagues.Seeing that vivid expression, he felt at ease when he listened.

Qiu Rang would appear suddenly when he was sick, take care of him carefully, and accompany him until he recovered, which moved him so much that he couldn't help himself.

Qiu Rang... Qiu Rang seems to have a girlfriend... He saw them hugging on the street in the middle of the night.

Even so, I still can't stop liking and wanting to get closer, even if I don't think it should.

He never thought of telling others what happened to him, nor did he think that Qiu Rang would like him.Until that day, Qiu Rang confessed to him and said those unbelievable words.

Unbelievably, he had no thought of questioning Qiu Rang at all.Struggling is just uneasiness about the unknown.

Later, he finally mustered up the courage to face everything.He thought that he could stand in the sunshine by taking a step forward, but in fact, he did see the bright sunshine after taking that step, which was given to him by Qiu Rang.Fate played tricks on him again, before he had time to feel the heat of the sun, he was pushed back to the gloomy cold.

Qiu Rang disappeared in front of him out of thin air, no matter how much he cried and shouted, it was useless.

Old wounds are healed, but new pains are added.

When his aunt found him, all his tears had been shed, and he was stunned as if he had lost his soul. No matter how my aunt asked him, he didn't speak.

Life suddenly returned to the track two years ago, and he locked himself in the dark room again, neither eating nor drinking, nor sleeping.

One day, he suddenly remembered the conversation between Fenghuang and Qiu Rang in a trance.

Qiu Rang is still alive!Yes, he is still alive!go find him!

On that day, the way he was laughing and gobbling with tears and tears frightened my aunt.

He told his aunt what happened in the yard that day, and the aunt found it incredible but didn't question it!When my aunt heard that he was looking for Qiu Rang, she took out Qiu Rang's mobile phone and said that it was dropped in the yard that day.She never dared to take it out, fearing that he would be even more sad when he saw things and thought about others.

When he saw the phone, he was so happy!He thought it would be so difficult to find Qiu Rang, but he didn't expect it to be so easy!

He easily cracked the phone, found Qiu Rang's parents, and learned that Qiu Rang had been lying in the hospital bed for a year.After all, he was someone who had seen Phoenix and the dead souls of his parents, so he wasn't surprised at all, but he missed him even more.

There are countless missed call reminders and unread messages on Qiu Rang's mobile phone, and his friends and colleagues are all looking for him.

After much deliberation, Lian Shaoguang used Qiu Rang's account to post a circle of friends in the name of his parents, saying that Qiu Rang fell into a coma due to a sudden illness and did not know when he would wake up. He had already returned to his hometown for treatment and recuperation.

This circle of friends has brought more care and greetings.

As soon as he finished posting Moments, he received a call from a girl named "Lin Chuanchuan".He used to hear Qiu Rang mention Lin Chuanchuan a lot before, knowing that they had a good relationship, he once misunderstood her and Qiu Rang.He hesitated until the third phone rang before answering.

Lin Chuanchuan thought he was Qiu Rang's father, and asked after introducing himself.He could hear the worry in her words, and told her sincerely that he was not Qiu Rang's father.

Before he could figure out how to tell her his identity, he heard her ask: "Are you the one from Qiu Rang?!"

He gave a soft "hmm" as he recognized it.

He briefly explained the situation to Lin Chuanchuan and made an appointment to meet.Lin Chuanchuan also brought another girl named Xiang Miyamoto, whom he had seen before.

Both of them were surprised to see him, and even said "I didn't expect that".Seeing his haggard appearance, they scolded Qiu Rang for not having the heart to abandon him and make him sad.The appearance of their righteous indignation slightly relieved his depressed mood for many days.

He learned from them that the entire department was in chaos because of Qiu Rang's sudden disappearance, so he asked Gong Benxiang to help Qiu Rang with his resignation.He wanted to at least have a decent explanation, after all, Qiu Rang used to treat this job so conscientiously.Not long after, I got news that a large number of department bosses had taken sick leave, saying, "It's a pity to let go of such a good boy as Qiu Rang."

There are a group of kind people around Qiu Rang, this is his intuitive feeling after getting Qiu Rang's mobile phone.

With the help of Lin Chuanchuan and Lin Chuanchuan, he got the key to Qiu Rang's room.Entering that clean and tidy room, smelling Qiu Rang's breath, imagining that Qiu Rang once lived here, complex emotions surged up and stuck in his chest, and he finally held back his tears.He found Qiu Rang's landlord, paid one year's rent, and kept Qiu Rang's room.

Almost done, he bid farewell to his aunt and boarded the train to Qiu Rang's hometown.

That day, he saw Qiu Rang who was lying motionless on the bed, and wept bitterly under the surprised eyes of Qiu Rang's parents.

On the phone, he told Qiu Rang's father that he was Qiu Rang's friend and that he wanted to visit him when he learned that Qiu Rang was sick, and he hoped that he could visit him every day during his stay.

The Qiu family's parents were very happy, saying that this was the first time they had seen someone come since Qiu Rang was bedridden.

After that, he set the alarm clock before dinner, and he would show up after lunch every day, and when the alarm clock vibrated, he reluctantly left.

He always sat on the edge of the bed in a daze and watched Qiu Rang secretly shed tears when he thought of the past.

When he went to visit for the seventh time, his mother Qiu caught him wiping tears.Qiu's mother looked at him and said meaningfully: "Rang'er will feel distressed if he wakes up and sees you like this."

He fell to his knees with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes, "Please let me take care of him."

The Qiu family's parents easily accepted him without asking anything, just like when he said he hoped to visit every day, and even vacated a bedroom for him.

Since then, he has been responsible for taking care of Qiu Rang's daily life.

Qiu Rang cannot eat or drink, and needs daily intravenous injections to maintain vital functions; in order to prevent muscle atrophy, he massages his whole body for two hours each morning and evening; Go to the hospital for a check-up once a month.

At first he was exhausted every day.Qiu's parents took turns with him at first, but later he insisted on doing it by himself.The Qiu family's parents have persisted for more than a year, and he firmly believes that he can persist.

One day, Mother Qiu stayed in the room with him for a long time, and finally asked him: "You and Rang'er, you..."

"I love him." He sat across from Qiu's mother and said calmly: "Until the beginning of last month, he was still alive in Beijing. He went to work, met with friends, and ate the rice noodles I made for him. Then one day , I watched him disappear out of thin air in front of my eyes."

He saw shock and disbelief in Qiu's mother's eyes.He continued to tell the story of him and Qiu Rang in a gentle voice, including his dark encounter.

It was the first time he told others about that experience, but his heart was not as fearful and painful as before.He knew that this was Qiu Rang's sense of security.

In the second month after he left Beijing, he received news from his aunt that the yard was about to be demolished, and the people who demolished it asked them to clean it up, and those that needed to be moved out as soon as possible.She mentioned that Qiu Rang promised her to help her find out how to transplant the sycamore tree, but no one was there at night.He took over what Qiu Rang hadn't finished.

On the day of digging the tree, he took the train back to the courtyard overnight.He saw the little sycamore tree in the corner, dug it up and planted it in a big flowerpot.Then I hugged the bare tree quietly until my aunt brought the workers over.He calmly watched it being dug up with sawn off miscellaneous branches, roots and soil, followed the tree truck to the east forest to plant the tree, and stayed under the tree until evening before leaving.

It is said on the Internet that the survival rate of the transplanted tree is not very high, so he can only silently pray that it can survive this winter.

He put the little phoenix tree on the balcony of the living room at home, asked his aunt to come and take care of it, and left in a hurry.

He never believed in miracles, but Qiu Rang let him witness a miracle, and he prayed that the miracle would happen again, it happened to the plane tree, it happened to Qiu Rang.

He always sits beside Qiu Rang's bed and thinks quietly that if one day Qiu Rang wakes up, he will never hide his feelings again.

Having lived in a daze at this age, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to fight for something.What's more, Qiu Rang and Qiu's parents can accept him who is so much older, so what reason does he have to be coy?

Finally one day, Qiu Rang woke up.
