Flight of the Bumblebee

By the time Xing Yanneng was discharged from the hospital, a week had passed. Counting the days, He Qi had already returned to his hometown.

Today Wang Sheng had something to do, so he called Xiao Li to the hospital to pick him up, and of course Shi Leping also came.The procedures for returning to Germany will be completed within these two days, and the passport will be returned to him soon.The police came to the hospital to ask what was going on. Xing Yan answered honestly where he was robbed and where his passport was robbed more than a year ago. Friends, I can't let you be wronged.Xing Yan shook his head and said forget it, I have forgotten their looks, and they may not be there when I go back, I don't plan to pursue them.

The police listened, took notes and left.A reporter got wind that he was going to report, but was stopped by Shi Leping.He had already thought about what kind of news headlines these people would use, but it was left to the left—"Shocked! The genius pianist is in a deep hole! Why is it like living on the street?" Coupled with Xing Yan's photo five years ago and the current photo, Although his reputation has sunk to the bottom, the news of the so-called "tragedy on earth" will still be flocked to by many readers, and it can be considered a sell for people in the news industry.But how could Shi Leping let Xing Yan, who finally came back, be dragged out by these reporters and ruined at will?So in two days, even they will leave this land.

While in the car, Wang Sheng called and asked how Shi Leping was doing.Shi Leping sat on the back seat, turned his eyes to Xing Yan who had a pale face, and whispered to Wang Sheng that nothing was wrong and everything was fine.Then Wang Sheng began to vomit bitterness on the phone, saying that his family was forcing him to go on a blind date with a bunch of photos of beauties.Shi Leping smiled and said, then go on a blind date, don't let your family worry.Wang Sheng said that I am not. There are many people who get married after the age of 30, not to mention that I don't want to get married. Marriage is so troublesome and the source of all kinds of misfortunes.

Shi Leping smiled: "It's still the source of misfortune, you should be grateful if you don't become someone else's misfortune."

Wang Sheng said: "You're right. If a woman marries me in the future, her hard life will come. Don't talk about it. My mother is calling me. I don't know what's going on. I'll call you later. You!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Shi Leping hung up the phone and looked at Xing Yan.Xing Yan has been sitting in the seat, looking out the window.

He suddenly asked, "What's the date?"

Shi Leping told him a date.

He lowered his eyes, rubbed his fingers unconsciously on his pants, and muttered to himself, "He Qi has already left..."

Afraid that he would be sad, Shi Leping quickly changed the subject, put his hand on Xing Yan's thigh and patted him comfortingly twice, and said to him: "I'll be back to Europe in two days, Ayan, let him go about the past." Alright." He forced a smile.

But Xing Yan said: "I want to go back and have a look."

Shi Leping was taken aback: "Go back? Where are you going back?"

"Go back to He Qi's house." He said.

"There is no one else there." Shi Leping said in surprise.

"I know." Xing Yan said in a low voice.

Shi Leping had no choice but to tell Xiao Li to take them to the rental house.

Coming to the bottom of the rental house, Xing Yan held his chest that was not fully healed and looked up to the roof.It just rained again, and the sky was very gloomy, and it was almost autumn. This kind of weather is no longer suitable for wandering around in short-sleeved shorts. The season full of annoying insects and scorching sun has passed. A gust of wind blows, and I was discharged from the hospital Xing Yan felt a bit of coolness.

It turns out that the south is not always warm.

He stood in the open space in front of the stairs, in a daze, there are many memories here.

Standing on the top of the building and looking down, I saw that dirty little girl playing marbles in the sun without any worries, and her family didn't care about her.Recognizing her as the person who sneaked out of the balcony to greet him in the middle of the night, Xing Yan was still thinking when he stepped downstairs: Will she still remember me?

Next to the bushes, there are also memories.

What a night he waited beside a trash can under a street lamp.Not specifically to see him, or to be seen by him.Instead, I hope to be at the place closest to him, looking at the roof of the building like looking at the stars.As far as the eye can see, is heaven.

The stairwell hides many secrets.

He walked up and down countless times, happy or sad, brisk or slow.If the walls and lights can record, his memories and emotions will emerge from the cracks in the floor that have not been cleaned for years, the exposed wires on the wall, and the mailbox with screws missing from the door, filling the entire stairwell, telling him that in this episode On the steps, He Qi once turned his head and talked to him with a smile; on this step, He Qi was panting, with a rosy face, standing face to face with him; Guilt, embarrassment, unwilling to face him...

There are more memories on the top of the building, and Xing Yan stepped up step by step, almost unable to face the surging and suffocating waves of memories.

The clothesline was taken away, all the daily necessities hanging outside disappeared, and a large silver lock was hung on the door.The surrounding area was so clean that there were no traces of people's life, and the past few months seemed to be locked in the house that was not allowed to enter.

Empty, all empty.

Standing on the roof of the building, he felt that there was a large space in his chest, and the cool wind passed through it, like a blunt saw, cutting open the place where he still felt pain.

Why not here.

On the day of He Qi's departure, he sent him a text message saying that he was leaving, but it was a pity that he couldn't see each other in the end.

He left by plane. I heard that his hometown is not far from here, and the flight is less than an hour.

"So it's so close." After knowing it, Xing Yan thought a little happily.He was clutching the ancient mobile phone, unable to read the words on the small screen, his eyes were blurred by tears, and then he was overwhelmed by an avalanche of sadness, with bursts of dull pain in his chest, and eye-catching bandages wrapped around his body Always remind him that he can't even cry.If he had heard that song, Xing Yan would know how to describe how he felt after He Qi left—Missing is pain that can breathe.

After a few days, he seemed much better.Thank goodness, He Qi didn't cut off contact with him, didn't deliberately avoid him, and was willing to continue talking to him.Xing Yan asked Shi Leping to help him send a few text messages, and he learned to type a few, but he couldn't do it either in pinyin or handwriting, and he didn't have the courage to press the call button.What if He Qi feels annoying?What if He Qi doesn't like him calling?

Xing Yan's heart was emotional and overthinking. When he hesitated to make a call, He Qi called him first and asked him if his injury was better, when he would go back, and if he took good care of himself.Xing Yan clutched the phone, desperately trying not to let the tears flow down, the pain in his chest almost drowned out his voice.

Xing Yan exchanged e-mail addresses with him carefully, and said that he must keep in touch frequently when he talked about Germany. He Qi couldn't help laughing on the phone when he heard his tone, saying that you are like a good friend in elementary school who suddenly said that you want to transfer schools. It's like holding someone's hand and saying "absolutely don't forget me".

Xing Yan smiled, more tears, he kept his normal tone and said on the phone: "It is impossible for me to forget you."

There was only silence on the other side of the phone, and He Qi called out after a while: "Oh, I understand, you don't have to keep emphasizing."

Xing Yan didn't want to put pressure on him, so he hung up after saying a few words.

In short, for him, it was not complete despair.

Standing on the roof of the building, Xing Yan looked into the distance. In broad daylight, he could only see cars and horses like dragons, and cars honking on the road. The scenes he could see during dinner could only be found in his memory, saying goodbye one by one. .

How sad, he was about to leave, just like when Sister Wang and Niu Niu left, he was leaving too, I don't know if someone will move in this room.Here, he had spent the best time in his life, with the person he loved the most. Looking back now, those two months were as far away as a dream, untouchable, as if they had never happened to him.He Qi probably left, and took a part of him away, so the rest of him seemed so unreal.

Shi Leping waited below.

He felt that he should leave some time and personal space for Xing Yan to remember the sadness, after all He Qi is a very important person to him, Shi Leping saw this in his eyes.Originally, he thought that Xing Yan would be more sad because of He Qi, and would not think about eating and drinking, and might even do the same behavior that hurt himself as last time, but he didn't know what they said upstairs that day, and the matter passed so smoothly.Wang Sheng approached him curiously many times, but Shi Leping prevaricated them with the reason of "not interested".

He looked up at his younger brother who was standing on the top floor, looking into the distance with a sad expression on his face, wondering what he was thinking.

Two days later, the airport lobby.

Wang Sheng answered a phone call, he walked away for a while, and said a few words to the person on the phone in the corner. He seemed to have encountered some embarrassment, then hung up the phone, and turned to Shi Leping with a sad face. come.

Shi Leping asked him in surprise: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Wang Sheng sighed, and said helplessly, "Guess."

"I can't guess."

He turned around and pointed to a gloomy boy who was standing not far away, wearing a hat, mask and glasses, fully armed and sitting on the seat, and said to Shi Leping, "Do you remember him?"

Shi Leping shook his head.With Bao like that, I'm afraid even his mother wouldn't recognize him, let alone him?

Wang Sheng covered his head and said, "He's my cousin, you should have seen him, the one who hid your bow in Vienna."

Shi Leping just remembered that when they were still studying in Vienna, Wang Sheng's family often organized groups to visit him in the name of traveling, and there was a naughty little fat man who pestered him every day. Wang Sheng is somewhat similar.

He asked strangely: "How did he become like this?"

Wang Sheng said helplessly: "A lot of things happened in the United States. After returning home and squatting at home for two and a half years, my mother asked me to take him to relax."

"Where are you going to take him?" Shi Leping asked.

"Fishing in New Zealand, swimming in Australia? I don't know, I haven't planned yet."

"How long?"

"How many months?"

"Is this also uncertain?"

"Anyway, I'm a big idler, so it's no problem to take him around the world."

"Don't teach your brother badly."

"My mother and my aunt are not worried, are you worried?" Wang Sheng said with a smile: "I plan to take him to Vienna to find you."

"Okay!" Shi Leping said happily, "Bring him here, let's go climbing."

"Winter?"

"Want to go skiing?"

"Then it's winter. I'll take him to the southern hemisphere for a few months before looking for you."

Shi Leping looked at him with a smile, his eyes became very soft, and he said to him nostalgic: "How long have you not been back to Vienna?"

Wang Sheng pretended to be thinking, he smiled and said: "I don't even remember how many years, anyway, it's been a long time, I always wanted to go back, but I didn't find the time."

"You will be shocked when you arrive at school," Shi Leping said, "Do you know that Huang Qisheng is a teacher?"

Huang Qisheng was the roommate who lived with Wang Sheng back then, he was from the vocal music department, and he was also Chinese.

Wang Sheng was not as surprised as he imagined: "I know, we follow each other on Twitter. He married an Italian girl the year before last, and now the child is three years old."

"I remember that they got married after giving birth to a child. Time flies so fast in the blink of an eye."

"Isn't it?"

"Were you at the South Pole or the North Pole when he got married? At that time, he grabbed me and complained for a long time, saying that you were a ghost on the Internet, and my real friends didn't even come to see me when they got married."

Wang Sheng scratched his head and said, "Isn't it that I'm not free? Why didn't he mention the red envelope I gave him? I don't plan to get married in this life. He should be happy if he never returns the money."

"You said that again." Shi Leping looked at him helplessly.

Wang Sheng pushed him forward: "Okay, stop talking nonsense with me, your brother has already entered the ticket gate, if you don't look at him, he will run away again."

While being pushed by him, Shi Leping turned his head back and said, "You started chasing me before you even said a few words? When you come to Vienna, you have to tell me a month in advance, so that I can be prepared."

Wang Sheng grinned from behind and said, "It takes so long to prepare for a month? I'm such a big name!"

"Don't be stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time for you, tell me one month in advance that I can make vacation plans."

"Understand, understand! I must explain in advance!"

The bulky luggage had already been checked in, and Shi Leping entered through the ticket gate, and they were about to separate.What’s going on in the TV series, obviously without a ticket, you can’t even enter the waiting room, but every time there is a farewell scene at the airport, there must be a lonely back in the waiting room watching the plane take off in the camera, waving silently. over.

Wang Sheng stood at the ticket gate, smiled and waved to Shi Leping. Shi Leping said goodbye lightly to him with the ticket and passport in his hand, and left without even turning around in the slightest.

Wang Sheng's smile gradually disappeared from his face, and Shi Leping's back disappeared into the passage.

His little cousin was still waiting for him at the original seat. Seeing Wang Sheng approaching, he hurried up, pulled off his mask, and asked him in a low voice, "Is Brother Leping gone?"

Wang Sheng patted his head, then gave him a light touch, and Bai Lu immediately looked at him with his head in his arms.

"You pretended to be deep here when the person was still there, but now you come up to him and ask, why didn't you say hello before the person left?"

After being scolded by his cousin, Bai Lu said with a stiff expression: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't recognize me..."

"Who said that?" Wang Sheng rubbed his soft hair vigorously, and said, "He also asked me to take you to Vienna for skiing in winter!"

As soon as Bailu heard that he was going skiing, his eyes lit up, but he asked with some doubts, "Is there a ski resort in Vienna?"

"Fool, of course, go to Vienna to have a round with Leping first, play for a few days and then go to the ski resort together."

Bai Lu looked at the expression on his face, suddenly smiled and said: "Brother, you are very happy."

Wang Sheng deliberately made a fierce face, and said viciously to him: "What did you say?"

Bailu is a coward, he quickly said it was all right, and put back the mask that was pulled down to his chin.

On the road leaving the airport, Wang Sheng saw a plane leave the ground in the rearview mirror. He looked at his mobile phone. It happened to be the time for Shi Leping to take off. There was an unread text message in his mobile phone, which was sent by him. of.

"It's about to take off, switch to flight mode, domestic flights don't seem to allow electronic devices to turn on, I'll contact you when I get there, bye!"

Bye-Bye--

In his heart, he said silently to the plane that soared into the sky and gradually disappeared in the clouds.
