"Didn't you always talk about going to Jiguan Mountain to escape the summer heat?" Qi Yan squatted on the ground, put down the old lady's rolled up trouser legs, and put on the slippers.

"I'll enroll you in a senior group, you can go out and have fun."

Lin Yiling didn't agree. Holding the thermos, she blew on a few scattered tea stalks on the surface of the water: "How can I go to escape the summer heat in October? I have old arms and legs."

Qi Yan smiled and said yes, he stood up with the footbath, poured the water into the toilet, then took the nail clippers, and returned to the position just now.

The water stains on the floor were still wet, spreading into dark dots on the cheap wooden floor.

Looking at the old lady's wrinkled insteps, Qi Yan thought that he would take the old lady for a pedicure when he was free in a few days.The most expensive kind, the one with milk, is best sprinkled with rose petals on top. The petals must be bright red and look festive.

"Is it the kid who was going to launch a press conference on TV yesterday?"

Yesterday, Qi Yan finally met Xia Shishen, although it was on TV.He didn't wear a mask or hat, his smooth black hair was glued back with hairspray, he was wearing a plain black shirt, and he was sitting on a high stool.

Kang Ruwen, whom I met last time, stood aside and said that Xia Shishen's press conference would be held at ten o'clock in the morning the next day.

Qi Yan paused for a moment with the hand holding the nail clippers, and then hummed lightly.

It wasn't until all ten toes were cut off that the old lady said, "It's pretty good."

In fact, Qi Yan originally wanted to tell her that the person who picked us up at the hospital that day was also the same person, but after thinking about it, Qi Yan still didn't say anything.After all, the person on the TV is so beautiful that it dazzles the eye, so much so that even he himself feels in a trance that the charm Xia Shishen brought to him is like a hallucination.

Qi Yan and grandma were sitting in the bedroom watching TV, but probably because it had been raining for the past few days and the signal was not very good, the noise of the TV became louder and annoying.

Lin Yiling felt bored after watching it for a while, yawned twice, turned over on the bed, and fell asleep.

So Qi Yan was left alone, sitting on the small bench, watching Thai dramas for several hours.

It wasn't until the end of the show that Qi Yan stood up from the bench, stretched his arms twice, walked to the window and looked out.

it's dark.

In fact, there are a few happy things.

For example, this morning, Qian Youwei suddenly transferred a large amount of money to him, saying it was his bonus.Although Qi Yan felt puzzled in his heart, he was afraid that if he asked a few more words, the money would be gone, so he clicked to collect the money and sent him a thank you, but Qian Youwei didn't return it.

And in the first few days, reporters from various media companies took turns squatting at the door of Qi Yan's house, as if he was afraid that he would run away.But later, those reporters would leave at seven o'clock in the evening, and probably found that there was an old man with handicapped legs at home, and he couldn't go anywhere.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Yan felt a little better. He took the environmental bag from behind the door and planned to go to the supermarket to buy something to eat.

As soon as he walked to the door of the unit, Qi Yan shrank his neck from the cold wind. Although the weather forecast said that there would be rain in the next two days and the temperature would drop urgently, he did not expect it to be so cold.

Qi Yan decided to go and come back quickly, he hugged his arms tightly and walked out with his head sullen.

The sky was burnt rose-colored, and large cumulus clouds seemed to be piling overhead, making it hard to breathe.

Qi Yan stopped under the second streetlight, looked at the man who got off the commercial vehicle, and waved to him with a smile.

Ren Xiaonian was wearing a thin windbreaker similar to Kang Ruwen's that day, and the orange light shone on it, making it look soft.Qi Yan's gaze hardly lingered on Ren Xiaonian's face, he just thought that Xia Shishen would look good in this kind of windbreaker.

"Are you okay?" Ren Xiaonian's voice sounded very kind.

Qi Yan looked away from the amber buttons on the collar of the windbreaker. He looked at Ren Xiaonian without saying a word.

"Didn't Xia Shishen ask you to move?" Ren Xiaonian kicked away the plastic bag at his feet, "You have elderly people at home, so it should be inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs."

"Why don't you change to a bigger house."

Qi Yan smiled, raised his head and asked him: "Do you live in a big house now?"

Ren Xiaonian still maintained a proper smile and looked down at him.

"Xia Shishen's press conference, he will choose one among you and his own future." Ren Xiaonian took out a mint from his pocket, tore off the wrapping paper and put it in his mouth, "Guess, he will choose which one?"

The collar of the windbreaker was turned up, but Qi Yan still saw the Band-Aid on the side of his neck, surrounded by dots of hickey marks.

"Do you hate Xia Shishen that much?" Qi Yan didn't want to ask, but he couldn't help it.

Ren Xiaonian's mouth clicked, and he crushed the mint candy.

"If there is one person, from the time you two met until now, he will stand in front of you every time and steal everyone's attention."

"What you need a lot of hard work to get, he can easily hold it in his hands."

"Will you be happy?"

Ren Xiaonian left after not staying for long. Before leaving, he sat in the car and called his name through the crack of the car window.

"Qi Yan, I don't want to involve you, and I have warned you."

"Things have developed to this point." Ren Xiaonian looked up at him before saying, "Go and blame Xia Shishen."

The next day the weather was not so good, the weather forecast said it was going to rain.

All the video sites had obtained the rights to broadcast Xia Shishen's press conference, and they were all waiting, but Qi Yan didn't want to watch it.

He hoped that Xia Shishen could continue to have a bright future, but at that moment, he still didn't want to witness it himself.

The phone screen was still blank, and Xia Shishen didn't do what he promised.

Qi Yan turned off his phone and put it next to the pillow, not going to look at it anymore.

In 2 minutes, Xia Shishen's press conference began. Qi Yan turned on the TV and switched to the Thai drama channel he watched yesterday.Qi Yan didn't watch it very seriously yesterday, he didn't know where the plot was going, he only saw a man and a woman in it arguing.

A woman with long chestnut curly hair shed tears hysterically, crying and asking the hero why he didn't love her.

"I love you so much, can't you love me a little more?"

Qi Yan tried his best to see the expression of the woman on the TV. He wanted to say this to Xia Shishen with the same expression after he saw Xia Shishen.

Can't you love me a little more?

Qi Yan is not a person who can bear his temper, but that day, he did not watch the live broadcast of Xia Shishen's press conference.

All mobile phones and computers were turned off and put away. If possible, he even wanted to isolate himself from the world.

It was not until the afternoon that Qi Yan turned off the TV, planning to go out to buy some fruit.

Now there is no need to worry about whether there are reporters at the door. They all rushed to the press conference site. The building that was originally a mess is now empty. Qi Yan smiled lightly.

When walking out the door, it began to rain lightly, Qi Yan didn't take it seriously, until when he came back after buying some fruit, the rain suddenly became heavier.Qi Yan looked at the passers-by who were walking faster around him, then lowered his head again, and gathered the fruit in his arms.

He maintained the same pace and walked slowly into the alley. He also wanted to hide from the rain, but he couldn't seem to find a place to hide.

Probably because he had a cold, and his body was weaker than usual, Qi Yan felt that the raindrops hit his body a little painful.

After walking a few more steps, Qi Yan heard footsteps behind him, which sounded a little hurried.It was raining heavily, and there were many people anxious to go home. Qi Yan glanced at the car parked not far away, shrugged his shoulders and stood aside, trying to make way for the anxious people behind him.

Until the footsteps stopped, the hat on Qi Yan's sweater was suddenly taken in his hand, and after a few seconds, it was put on his head.

"I don't know if it's raining."

The hat of the sweater is very big, Qi Yan's whole face is hidden under the brim of the hat, and his ears are also covered, Qi Yan feels that he is hallucinating again.

"Eating too much dragon fruit will cause diarrhea." The man walked up to him from behind and looked down at him.

The heart is like a cut lemon, sour and astringent.

Qi Yan held the fruit bag in his arms, without raising his head, his voice was calm: "My stomach hurts already, it doesn't matter if I have diarrhea or not."

The raindrops became very heavy, and a large drop hit Qi Yan's shoulder, and within a second it quickly melted into pure cotton fibers.

The man moved closer, stretched out his hand to cover Qi Yan's head, and gently placed the other hand on Qi Yan's stomach.

He rubbed it twice, and then asked Qi Yan: "Is this the pain?"

"More than that." Qi Yan sniffed, "I fell down yesterday, and now it hurts everywhere."

Qi Yan told a lie.

The man reached for the bag in his arms, then bent his chest, looked at Qi Yan's level, and looked into his eyes.

It was Qi Yan who thought of the dizzy eyes, those dark eyes that belonged to Xia Shishen.

"What are you doing here?" Qi Yan turned his head away, not looking at him.

After a few seconds, Xia Shishen took out a black headband from his pocket, stretched out his hand and gently squeezed Qi Yan's chin, making him look at him.

Xia Shishen put on the fox ear headdress, touched Qi Yan's face with his left hand, and wiped the rain on his cheek with his dry fingers.

"I came to love you."

Xia Shishen said to Qi Yan.
