Mountain Stream Autumn

After New Year's Day, Chen Nanshan's school started the final exam. As the invigilator, Chen Nanshan had to invigilate the exam every day, so he didn't have time to find He Qiuming for a while.

As for what happened that night, both of them kept a tacit silence. After returning at noon on the [-]rd, they each went about their own affairs.However, Chen Nanshan remembered that He Qiuming admitted that he liked it, so he was not in a hurry, and waited to find He Qiuming after the exam week, because he still wanted to spend Valentine's Day with He Qiuming.

Probably He Qiuming was also busy these days, so he didn't respond to Chen Nanshan's message.

Chen Nanshan sighed, and carried a stack of test papers into the classroom. He was invigilating the exam again today, but fortunately, it was the last one he invigilated. After this exam was over, he could go to He Qiuming.So even though the exam lasted more than two hours, Chen Nanshan was still in a good mood. Before the exam started, he sent a WeChat message to He Qiuming, saying that he would meet him for dinner later, and then turned off his mobile phone to invigilate the exam.

Two hours later, the students handed in their papers.Chen Nanshan and another teacher sorted out the test papers and took them to the office before going downstairs and out of the school to find He Qiuming by car.

However, there has been no reply to the past messages sent on WeChat. Chen Nanshan frowned and looked at the lonely one-sided dialogue on the page. He rubbed his fingers unconsciously. Before I had time to think carefully, the thought disappeared.

Because she came to the company several times with He Qiuming, the front desk lady knew Chen Nanshan, so she didn't stop Chen Nanshan from coming this time.Chen Nanshan went straight to the floor where He Qiuming's office was located, but when he arrived, Chen Nanshan found that He Qiuming was not in the office, and his office was very clean, as if no one had ever worked there.

Chen Nanshan's heart clicked.

He sent a message to Chao Nian again, asking him what he was doing, but the person who usually replied in seconds did not reply to his message immediately. Chen Nanshan waited for a few minutes but did not hear from Chao Nian, so he went to ask Secretary He Qiuming, but the secretary His answer stunned him in place.

The secretary said that Manager Chao was on a business trip and would not be back until next week.

"Then... where's He Qiuming? Are you with him?"

The secretary knew Chen Nanshan, so he didn't hide it when he asked him this question. He smiled and said, "Director He has left the job a long time ago."

"Ok?"

Seeing Chen Nanshan's puzzled look, the secretary thought that He Qiuming hadn't had time to explain to him in detail, so he smiled and explained to Chen Nanshan, saying that He Qiuming had completed the resignation procedures a year ago and left directly after the year.

Chen Nanshan didn't move, and some things began to string together in his head.After a long time, he heard himself asking in a hoarse voice, "But isn't he the director? How can he leave as soon as he says so?"

"Director He is from the headquarters. He came here to study. Sooner or later, he will return to the headquarters."

Chen Nanshan was stunned, and walked out of the first floor of He Qiuming's company in a daze.The cold wind outside was blowing on his face, which made him wake up a little bit. He woke up from the previous daze, and stopped the car in the next second to go to the place where He Qiuming lived.

He didn't believe what the secretary said, and he didn't believe that He Qiuming left as soon as he said it.Obviously the two were so good not long ago, and He Qiuming would pick him up from get off work and cook for him when he went back, how could he disappear suddenly.Chen Nanshan kept sending messages to He Qiuming frantically in the car, but he never received a reply, so he changed to video calling him, but what he always got was that the other party's phone was not with him, and the call was always cancelled.

Chen Nanshan suddenly became anxious, quit WeChat with trembling hands, and called He Qiuming tremblingly, but no one answered as expected, and not only no one answered, but the phone was turned off.His hands suddenly became weak, and the mobile phone hit the seat next to him. Chen Nanshan clenched his fists, and there was still a glimmer of expectation in his heart. He couldn't understand why He Qiuming would do this.

No reason, no reason.

The taxi driver saw Chen Nanshan's disappointed face, thinking that he was broken in love, and even said a few words of comfort.Chen Nanshan smiled wryly, picked up the phone, didn't talk to him, but opened his eyes and looked out the window on the road he had walked with He Qiuming many times, and he missed him more and more in his heart.

As soon as the car arrived at the place where He Qiuming lived, Chen Nanshan grabbed a hundred bucks and handed it to the driver, opened the door and quickly got out of the car, and ran to the house where He Qiuming lived.After entering the first floor of the complex, the two elevators were still going up. Chen Nanshan didn't know how long it would take, so he struggled for a while, opened the safe passage on the side, and rushed upstairs without thinking.

What does it matter if He Qiuming lives high, it doesn't matter if he will be out of breath when he climbs up, as long as he can see He Qiuming earlier, will he be afraid of this?

Chen Nanshan didn't exercise for a long time, and he couldn't do it after climbing the seventh and eighth floors. He was panting loudly, and his legs were sore.But as long as I think of going up early, maybe I can see He Qiuming earlier, so as to relieve the worries in my heart, all this is worth it.

It has been 5 minutes since he arrived at the floor where He Qiuming lived, and the original excitement has calmed down at this moment, and he is even a little nervous.Chen Nanshan looked at the door of He Qiuming's house, and somehow resisted knocking on the door in his heart. He even thought about coming back tomorrow, maybe He Qiuming wasn't at home today.

It's just that another thought in his mind reminded him to knock on the door immediately.

Chen Nanshan knew in his heart that he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't get an answer today, and he ran over in such a hurry, didn't he just want to know what happened to He Qiuming, didn't he just want to hear from He Qiuming that he was still there.Thinking of this, Chen Nanshan couldn't help laughing, he still believed in He Qiuming in his heart, he believed that when he rang the doorbell in the past, someone would come to open the door for him, and then he let him in with a smile and asked him what he wanted to eat.

Chen Nanshan rang the doorbell, but there was no response inside, but he still had a smile on his lips.He pressed it a second time, but there was still no response. The smile on Chen Nanshan's face could not hold anymore. He found a reason for He Qiuming in his heart, and then continued to press it several times.

Not even once.

Chen Nanshan's hands trembled, flustered in his heart, he murmured that it was impossible, and pressed it again in disbelief. Fortunately, there was finally a sound inside this time, and Chen Nanshan heard the sound of slippers rubbing against the floor.He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his heart that hadn't recovered yet, smiled, and said in a low voice, "He's still here, He Qiuming didn't want Chen Nanshan."

However, when the door opened, the smile on Chen Nanshan's face immediately froze, and his heart fell heavily, his throat trembled from the pain.Chen Nanshan glanced at the door plate, then at the person who opened the door for him, and asked hoarsely, "Who are you?"

The man who opened the door was also taken aback, not understanding why someone would appear at the door, and the people outside the door were a little embarrassed, with a look of disbelief on their faces.Although he didn't understand what was going on, the young man still answered Chen Nanshan's question seriously, "I'll come and see the house."

These four words set the facts that Chen Nanshan didn't want to believe.

Seeing Chen Nanshan's suddenly sad face, the young man thought that he was also here to see the house, so he turned to him and asked, "Why don't you come in and take a look?"

He and his girlfriend have been together for four or five years, and they are planning to get married in March this year, but the two have never bought a house. However, the family thinks that it is not easy for a girl to work outside with him, so they think they have a fixed nest.It's just that the house price here is too high, and the two newcomers who have just worked for a year can't afford it at all, and they don't want to ask their family members for help, so they plan to buy a second-hand house as soon as they discuss it.

Originally, they had no hope of seeing suitable second-hand houses, because second-hand houses cannot always be too new.But there are still surprises in the world, and they encountered such a surprise, and the more they watched the house, the more satisfied they became.The agent said that the house had not been bought for a long time, but the original owner had moved out for some reason, so the house had to be sold. The young man and his girlfriend were discussing this house, and they were negotiating the price with the agent when the doorbell rang. Then he saw someone standing outside the door.

Mingming was in pain like a pinprick in his heart, but Chen Nanshan looked at the scene in front of him and smiled for no reason, the kind that pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

It turned out to be the case.

Some of the memories I saw before came to my mind, one by one, the connected truth made Chen Nanshan startled, like a cup of sulfuric acid poured on his heart, he felt sore and hot at the same time, and the hot tears had to be hidden Can't stop.The word "intermediary" seen in the office, and the deal heard in the bedroom, it turned out that he was really the only one. He Qiuming had already made plans to leave, and planned to leave while getting along with him.

Chen Nanshan glanced at the room where the stranger was standing, suddenly felt that this was no longer the room he was familiar with, so he turned around and left with a wry smile.The soreness caused by climbing the stairs was fully revealed at this time, Chen Nanshan hammered his legs in a daze, trying to relieve the soreness on his lower legs, but the more he hammered his legs, the more uncomfortable he felt, and his heart also became sore for some reason.

He didn't go to take the elevator, and walked up the stairs as he did when he came, but Chen Nanshan didn't go down immediately, but sat down on the steps of the stairs.

Chen Nanshan looked at the mobile phone in his hand that hadn't received any news, and heard the voice of the young couple communicating with the agency. He finally lowered his head uncontrollably, and lay on his knees to cover his red eyes.

It turned out to be fake.

It was the same a few years ago, and it is still the same now.Chen Nanshan touched the corner of his eyes, and muttered in a hoarse voice, "He Qiuming, why do I still like you so much?"

......

In the past two days, Jiang Manchun's condition has improved, and he has been awake longer during the day, and sometimes he can joke with Chen Nanshan.Chen Nanshan was happy from the bottom of his heart, he tried his best to take care of her every day, and used his busy life to numb his aching heart, but when he saw that Jiang Manchun was in better health, and remembered He Qiuming's words that day, he couldn't stop panicking. He wanted to go back and see He Qiuming.

So after Jiang Manchun fell asleep, Chen Nanshan told the night watch nurse to help take care of him for a day, and he would come back tomorrow, then left the hospital and went to the train station.Catching the train at night is really not a pleasant experience. The waiting hall is noisy, and there are still people crowded when checking the tickets. After finally getting into the car, there is no silence for a moment.

Chen Nanshan was sitting by the window. He didn't talk to the person next to him, and his eyes kept falling outside the window. It was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, but Chen Nanshan could clearly see his reflection on the glass. There was light in the eyes of the person on the glass, and Chen Nanshan knew that the light was for He Qiuming.

Just take a look from a distance.

It was already dawn when he got off the train, so Chen Nanshan took a taxi to He Qiuming's school to find out the schedule He Qiuming sent him, but when he went to the classroom, he didn't find He Qiuming.Chen Nanshan went to a few places that He Qiuming frequented, but he didn't see He Qiuming.

Reluctantly, Chen Nanshan called He Qiuming's roommate. Although He Qiuming moved out, he still had some contact with the people in the dormitory, and Chen Nanshan often went to He Qiuming's school in high school, so he also had some contact with He Qiuming's roommate.

The answers from the roommates brought Chen Nanshan not happiness, but despair.They said that He Qiuming hadn't been to school for a long time, and they didn't know where He Qiuming had gone.Chen Nanshan went to the room they used to live in without thinking, but the room was locked long ago, so he couldn't get in.

When he first saw the lock, Chen Nanshan didn't take it seriously because he had the key, but when he pulled the key No. 13 times and failed to open the door, he had to admit that the lock had been changed.Chen Nanshan originally thought that He Qiuming was afraid that he would come looking for him, so he simply changed the lock, but the next second he met the landlord, who was very surprised to see him, because the landlord knew about their relationship.

When Chen Nanshan saw the landlord, he took the key and ran to him, grabbed his hand and asked He Qiuming, but the landlord shook his head and said that He Qiuming had left long ago, and someone else lived in the house now.The landlord didn't know what happened to the two of them, but when he thought of He Qiuming's appearance when he left, he vaguely understood that the same-sex couple probably broke up, and it was not easy to care about other people's feelings, so the landlord left after a few words of comfort.

And when Chen Nanshan heard the landlord say that He Qiuming had left, he dropped the key in his hand on the ground, and the exhaustion from driving all night couldn't match the pain he felt at this moment.The anticipation on the train was shattered at this moment. Chen Nanshan stared at the door that had been locked, and many memories of the past came to mind.

There were two people who went home together, some kissed at the door, and some left home together every day... There were also many details that Chen Nanshan hadn't paid attention to. At this moment, they all flooded into his heart like a The knife slashed his heart fiercely, but the knife was not fast enough, and it took a long time for one slash to hurt, and the next slash was long overdue.

Chen Nanshan didn't care about his image, so he sat down against the wall.He originally wanted to sit by the door, but it was no longer their home, and He Qiuming, whom he liked, did not live there. Everything strange made him want to escape, but Chen Nanshan was reluctant, and wanted to be here full of people. Sit more in the place of memories.

The landlord who had already left suddenly turned back, holding a box in his hand, he stopped beside Chen Nanshan, and didn't say a word about the embarrassment he saw Chen Nanshan.Chen Nanshan knew that he must be in a mess right now, but he didn't have the strength to clean himself up, he just wanted to find a comfortable place to lie down for a while.

He was the one who asked He Qiuming to leave, so he should accept whatever the result is now.

However, Chen Nanshan still overestimated himself. When he saw what the landlord brought, the tears that had been bursting burst into tears. Chen Nanshan hugged the landlord's box, squatted on the ground and cried into a ball, even when the landlord Those who have left don't know.

It was he who was sorry for He Qiuming.

There are only some small things in the box, but each of them hides the memories of the two of them. He Qiuming left these things here, and the meaning can be imagined. He Qiuming is not even going to want the memories.

If you want to break it, you can break it cleanly.

However, what made Chen Nanshan even more unbearable was another item in the box, a very simple ring, which was not packed in a small red velvet box, but was quietly placed on a piece of paper.

There were a few simple words on the paper, and Chen Nanshan recognized He Qiuming's handwriting at a glance.Chen Nanshan carefully took out the piece of paper, read the words written on it, and then the tears never stopped.

A total of three sentences.

The first sentence is his name, the second sentence is a confession, and the third sentence is a promise, but together they are a punishment.

He Qiuming wrote: My child, why do I like you so much, can I give you my whole life?

Chen Nanshan had never been so sad. He trembled and put the ring on his hand, and kept muttering He Qiuming's name, but this time no matter how many times he called him, the boy he loved would never appear again Behind him, laughing and taking him home.

The written paper fell, turned around in the air, exposed the back side, and landed on the ground.The back was not empty at first, and there was a line of words on it. At this moment, because the one was turned over just now, the words on the back were clearly exposed to the public, and Chen Nanshan naturally saw it clearly.

"It's been a few years in a hurry, it's been a big dream, and it's time to wake up."
