At sunset, the mountains are far away

After the intense exam week ended, Xia Chengqi immediately went to a local company for an internship. She had no plans to go to graduate school.Although she doesn't hate college life, she has to admit that the growth in school is too slow after all, unable to meet the needs of the real world outside.

Xia Chengqi is an intern at a media company. She is in charge of the English news section, responsible for writing, typesetting and proofreading.She hopes to be a reporter in the future and report on the world affairs responsibly.Tao Yan went to England during the winter vacation after the course was over.She had studied abroad in the UK for two years, and several of her friends still stayed in the UK.

From then on, the two of them seemed like two straight lines that intersected, and gradually drifted away after meeting.But Xia Chengqi suddenly remembered that it was said in the book that it is not that straight lines will not meet after they intersect, but they will intersect again in another space.She didn't know if it was true or not, and she didn't have high math in her college courses.

After Xia Chengqi went home for the New Year for a short time, he returned to the city and went to the orphanage on the day of the Lantern Festival.

Xia Chengqi looked at the children who could not speak in the room as usual, and suddenly heard the sound of the piano floating in the room, she was a little strange, followed the sound and walked over, and saw Tao Yan who was surrounded by a group of smiles , momentarily froze in place.Feeling his gaze, Tao Yan raised his head and met Xia Chengqi's gaze briefly in the air, then lowered his head pretending nothing happened.

When Tao Yan first arrived at the orphanage, the aunts in the orphanage pulled her and said that Xia Chengqi had also come and was watching the children in the room, but she didn't go over, since there was no relationship, why bother.The two of them were separated by a room, knowing that the other was there, but they spent a long afternoon in sight of each other.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, of course, the Lantern Festival is eaten. The children are very happy, all of them are red, and the house is full of festive atmosphere.Xia Chengqi specially bought fireworks for the children. She sat on the threshold of the gate and watched the children playing with fireworks in the yard at night.The fleeting brilliance of the fireworks and the bright smiles of the children are somewhat blurred in the moonlight, and Xia Chengqi can always feel a sense of loneliness in the midst of the bustle.Tao Yan also sat down on the threshold, and the two sat side by side and looked at each other without speaking.

"Why do you want to go to Qinghai?"

"Because... obsession." Xia Chengqi showed a wry smile and lowered his face.The reason why he wanted to go to Qinghai was because he knew that it was sister Qin's hometown.But where is sister Qin now?She didn't know it at all, but after Sister Qin left, Qinghai became her place of obsession, and she had to go there.

After a moment of silence.

"Does it have to be that far away?"

"The obsession has taken root in my heart, and I can't get rid of it." Xia Chengqi stood up and played fireworks with the children.

Xia Chengqi, obsessions will take root, but feelings won't?Tao Yan looked at Xia Chengqi who was smiling amidst the bright fireworks, so he had no choice but to engrave the person in front of him into his heart, condense it into memories, and savor it carefully in the lonely and cold night.She actually brought her a gift, a jade flute, but she had no reason to give it to her.

Xia Chengqi didn't know when Tao Yan left, but when she returned to her room to rest, she found a beautifully wrapped gift on the table, which was a white and transparent jade flute.

The new semester has begun, Xia Chengqi continues to practice in the media company, and Tao Yan also devotes himself to teaching.It's just that the two violets in the classroom are no longer taken care of for her, and there are no amazing translations in class.Everything is as usual, just something is missing.Early in the morning, Xia Chengqi was pedaling his bicycle to go to work, when a private car approached him as if he was about to park on the side of the road and then seemed to be driving away. Move slowly. "Student, are you okay?" A gentle male voice sounded.Xia Chengqi looked up and saw Xiao Zhiyuan who looked apologetic.There was a person standing next to the co-pilot's door, Xia Chengqi looked at him as if he knew him well, and it turned out to be Tao Yan.Tao Yan was wearing a long black windbreaker and a leather bag on his left side. He looked at her calmly and did not step forward.

Xia Chengqi grabbed the bicycle that fell on the ground and said briefly that it was all right, and then he got on the bicycle and fled as if to escape from this embarrassing scene.Holding the handlebar with the scratched palm was a little painful, but Xia Chengqi ignored the pain and gripped the car even tighter, his legs staring at the pedals also accelerated, as if he wanted to throw something that was about to come out behind.

"Yanyan, wasn't that person just now a student who was at your house last time?" Tao Yan walked straight to the teaching building without saying a word.Xia Chengqi's hurt eyes like a deer still linger in her mind, stinging her heart.Xia Chengqi, you pushed me away.

Today Tao Yan also has class in the afternoon, she promised Xiao Zhiyuan to go to his house for dinner tonight, his mother is Aunt Qin who she has been shouting since she was a child, and said that she would show them well, and asked Tao Yan to come over for dinner tonight.After Tao Yan finished class, Xiao Zhiyuan was already waiting outside the classroom door, holding her favorite milk tea in his hand.Xiao Zhiyuan and Tao Yan have known each other for more than 20 years since they can remember.The mother of the two is a colleague and good friend of the same school. Since childhood, when something happened at one of the families, the child was still at the other's house.Therefore, Tao Yan was as familiar with Xiao Zhiyuan's home as his own.

As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Qin greeted Tao Yan warmly: "Yanyan, have you been working too hard lately? Why are you so thin?"

"Auntie, it's not hard."

"It's okay, you will often come to auntie's house for dinner in the future, and auntie is responsible for fattening you up." Then he turned to Xiao Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, how did you take care of Yanyan? You are so thin?"

Xiao Zhiyuan was a little helpless, Yan Yan was born with a physique that would not make him fat.However, Yanyan does have a bit of a bad appetite recently, and he seems preoccupied, often letting go.

At the dining table, Aunt Qin warmly entertained Tao Yan and kept adding dishes to Tao Yan.On the other hand, Uncle Xu couldn't stand it anymore, "You let people eat first, and the dishes are piled up."

Then he said to Tao Yan, "Yanyan, make an appointment another day, and our two families will go out for a meal. You were abroad during the Chinese New Year, and neither of our two families had a good gathering."

"Yeah, Yanyan, your mother kept telling me that she couldn't see you often in a city." Aunt Qin added from the side.

"Okay, just tell me when the time comes." Tao Yan replied absent-mindedly. Although he liked his uncle and aunt very much, he was hesitant to enter this family completely.

After dinner, Xiao Zhiyuan sent Tao Yan home.When Tao Yan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Xiao Zhiyuan was still sitting on the sofa, looking down at his phone.

"Yanyan, can I stay tonight?"
