broken sun

Xu Li took Qi Nian to a restaurant with a good business around the community, and ordered the dry pot bullfrog on the table, a few stir-fries, the portion was too much for two people, but just enough for three people.

After many years, the picture is a bit weird, Qi Nian is picking up vegetables while listening to Xu Li's nonsense, while Shi Ze sitting opposite is concentrating on holding a bowl to eat, for fear of disturbing the two of them talking by showing a sense of presence.

On the way, Qi Nian answered a phone call from Gu Saming. He called "Brother", and Gu Saming asked him where he was and if he had lunch.Qi Nian put down his chopsticks and replied, "I'm eating out with Xu Li...and Shi Ze."

Gu Saming heard the words and said, "Shi Ze? Did he chase Xu Li?"

Qi Nian raised his eyes and rolled his eyes: "...I don't know."

The three people at the table looked at each other, and then quickly moved away.

Qi Nian said "hmmm" to the phone and his brother a few times, and said yes docilely. He didn't know what he heard, and put his hand to his mouth, and asked falteringly, "You weren't angry yesterday, were you?"

A snort came from the receiver: "Aren't you angry? I'm coaxing you now."

Qi Nian covered his hands more tightly, and retorted quite seriously: "I don't want you to coax."

So Gu Saming was satisfied with his brother's masculinity, and he said a few words along with the request of "don't you coax him". He asked Qi Nian to be obedient by himself, and he said he would return to Yuncheng in two days.

At the end of the meal, only Shi Ze hadn't stopped his chopsticks, and quietly bought the order while going to the bathroom, and came back to continue eating.

It was the peak time for dining at noon, and the restaurant ushered in a new group of diners. Xu Li struggled to talk to Qi Nian, and it was nothing more than simply asking about these years. He ended the topic ahead of schedule, and leaned over to explain: "It's too noisy inside, you're wasting your voice." He beckoned the waiter to pay the bill.

The waiter came over to write down their table numbers, took back the cashier and took the order for confirmation. During this period, Qi Nian met Shi Ze's staring gaze at him, and felt offended, which was very inexplicable.

After a while, the waiter yelled to Xu Li from a distance: "Your table has been bought!"

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, and just as he turned his head back, Shi Ze's aura just disappeared, and he quickly lowered his head to avoid it as if he had done something terrible that he was afraid of being discovered by others.

Xu Li was puzzled for a moment, and naturally found it funny, how come Shi Ze has only one stubble of hair shaved, and even his IQ and temper seem to have been shaved. Compared with high school, his temperament has changed a lot. Now She looks like a big girl with yellow flowers from some family, she is shy.

"Your phone is ringing, Shi Ze." He reminded.

"what......"

When Shi Ze heard that he was calling, he frantically touched the vibrating cell phone beside him, took a look, and had to look at Xu Li, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm going out to answer a call, okay?"

Xu Li was speechless, but Shi Ze stood there seriously, and he could only nod his head: "Go and pick it up."

Shi Ze had finished making phone calls when he walked out of the restaurant. Seeing them, he walked over from the flower bed by the side of the road, hesitated, and said to Xu Li, "I have something to go back later, come in the afternoon... or in the evening Bar."

He knew that his way of chasing after him might be annoying, but he was at his wit's end and would only use the most stupid methods.

There are not many holidays left, and anyone who has been to the bar a few times knows that Xu Li is very popular, and there are even many people who often go to the bar to listen to his singing. Xu Li never deliberately hides anything, so Both men and women.

Shi Ze has a strong sense of crisis.

Xu Li was silent for two seconds, and gave a time: "Five o'clock in the afternoon." After speaking, he pulled Qi Nian to leave.

Shi Ze immediately regained his energy, and nodded cheerfully: "I'll wait for you at your door at five o'clock in the afternoon," he said as he turned around to leave, "I'll definitely be there on time."

The life in this neighborhood is heavy, and it may feel noisy and chaotic, but walking under the shade of trees in the afternoon is still comfortable and comfortable.Qi Nian walked quietly along the stone brick road, and suddenly asked Xu Li, "Are you and Shi Ze together?"

Xu Li stepped back and faced him as before, shrugged, and answered directly: "No."

"You don't like him?"

Xu Li didn't answer, as if he had lost his ability to speak eloquently.

Qi Nian, who had always been silent in the face of matters unrelated to Gu Saming, thought for a while, and then briefly stated some facts: "After knowing that you were going to drop out of school, Shi Ze came to me and said that he had searched many places and found nothing. Find you and say he regrets it."

"I didn't believe it before, but these days, I guessed it." Xu Li narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to block the sun.

"You don't believe him?"

"I believe him," Xu Li replied, still smiling, "There is no reason for anyone I have slept with not to believe. Sleepers are not suspicious, and suspects are not sleepy."

Teased by Qi Nian's choking, he turned around and took two steps forward, then said casually: "But I can't do it with him."

A blown young leaf fell from the branch, whirled in the air, and made a slight sound when it grazed the ground. It had not yet experienced the moment of lushness and richness, and it returned to dust early.

Xu Li sent Qi Nian to the bus station, watched him get into the bus, and walked into the depths of his familiar life alone.

Qi Nian sat on the bus and looked at Yuncheng outside the window. This low-rise and old area also belonged to Yuncheng, crowded in the bustling world full of high-rise buildings, it became a corner that can be overlooked at will.He saw a few children in flowered jackets squatting beside the mahjong parlor in the distance, playing poker games carelessly, no one disturbed them.

There should be happiness too.

No matter how painful life is, can you find even a trace of happiness and comfort?

Qi Nian can't think about too many people, maybe it's hereditary, maybe it's because he has a long—a long dark memory that can never be erased, his ability to empathize has always been poor, and he doesn't know, I still don't know the answers to many things.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Qi Nian blinked his eyelashes, and his breath blurred the glass in front of him.
