Run in the opposite direction

forget.The absence of the name Qiao Qianyan in his life in the past few years doesn't seem to have much impact. He is walking a path that meets his parents' expectations according to his original ideal. It won't take long for him to reach a higher level.

Xing Chen knew about his sexual orientation when he was in college, but he was born in a bureaucratic family, and his parents had only him as a child, so he couldn't openly come out.I have also been in love several times, but in retrospect it was more of a physical impulse, and I forgot about the other party as soon as we broke up. At the age of 27, he met Qiao Qianyan for the first time, and he was devastated and lingering in his dreams. He understood all these words that sounded extremely abstract at that time.

Later, his position became higher and higher, and he spent all his energy on work. Occasionally, he met one or two boys who caught his eye, and stayed by his side for a few days.But to him, those boys are like decorations that he happens to find in a store when he passes by.People who are in politics have some faith in their destiny, and it is impossible for people to be happy everywhere. Xing Chen is proud of his career, so he knows that he will not have a happy family.In these years, he has been so busy and so busy that he almost forgot about Qiao Qianyan.

But he also forgot what a heartbeat is.

He knows himself well, as long as he clicks on the video again, he still can't escape how he fell in love at first sight at first sight.

Qiao Qianyan, who was sitting in the debate seat, was wearing a well-tailored suit. He was holding a pen in his hand when he was not speaking, and looked at the debate partner opposite him. A little of his black hair was scattered on his forehead, half covering his bright and scorching eyes.Draw a perfect curve from the bridge of the nose to the chin, as if drawn by the artist according to the imagination bit by bit, not as rough and random as others.When it was his turn to speak, Qiao Qianyan stood up, and his clear voice fell through the microphone to every corner of the venue. His words were neat, logical, and his tone was neither hasty nor slow. Occasionally, he even teased lightly, causing the audience to burst into laughter. .But the laughter often did not subside, and his next arguments were shot out mercilessly like sharp knives. With his clear eyes, the opponent was quickly defeated.

Xing Chen looked at the people in the video, and all his memories were revived in an instant. From the first time he saw Qiao Qianyan on the scene to when he left the city, the only few encounters in the short period of time seemed to be trapped. Packed and frozen in the refrigerator, when he opened the refrigerator again, the things he thought he had forgotten were still the same as before, exactly the same as when he put them in.

All these years, he just let himself not touch the refrigerator. The so-called forgetting is actually deceiving himself.

Xing Chen turned off the computer after watching the video. He knew that if he read the posts on the school forum from front to back, he might be able to find out some clues, and then figure out Qiao Qianyan, who was able to work as an intern in the company that everyone envied in his sophomore year. How could he be an innkeeper in the remote Luojiang.But he didn't read any further. He couldn't tell whether it was lack of curiosity or resistance to those things. It seemed that the Qiao Qianyan he knew should always be that proud and dazzling young man covered in thorns, not the courtyard downstairs. A quiet man.

Xing Chen stood up from the room, and he could see the downstairs from the window. Qiao Qianyan was still hunched over and brushing the chair. The ridge line on the back made the clothes bulge out a long line. Qiao Qianyan's thin waistline.

What language should I use to describe my state of mind at this moment? Xing Chen remembered that he was on a business trip last spring and passed by a small river. The surface of the river was originally frozen. He and a few colleagues were standing by the river basking in the sun, when suddenly he heard the sound of the river breaking ice.He looked down, and saw that the crystal ice suddenly cracked in the sun, and the river water under the ice immediately flowed out.

Xing Chen walked outside the door, leaned on the railing to look at the people below, and asked loudly, "Boss, how do I get to Qianfangkou?"

"There is a landslide on the road to Qianfangkou, and it will take a few days to repair it. If you want to go there, you'd better take a local tourist bus and go around a section of winding mountain road. Don't drive there." Qiao Qianyan answered with her head raised. He said, "There is a bus station at Dongjiekou, where there are tourist buses to various scenic spots every day. There are not many tourists now, you can rent a minivan, and play more freely."

Xing Chen: "How long will it take in the past?"

Qiao Qianyan: "Five or six hours."

"So far away?" Xing Chen thought of his parents' bodies, and if they had to take a van for five or six hours, it would not be a trip but a crime.

Qiao Qianyan: "Young people are fine in the past, but old people are really not suitable. But there are many scenic spots in Luojiang, you can choose the nearest one."

Xing Chen: "I checked on the Internet that there is a nearby lake, but all the roads shown on the map are too troublesome to find."

Qiao Qianyan: "You should be talking about Lu Lake. It's really hard to find there. But I have a tour guide's phone number here. How about finding a local tour guide for you?"

Xing Chen walked down the stairs, walked slowly to Qiao Qianyan's side, looked at him and said, "Is the boss from Ancheng?"

Qiao Qianyan nodded.

Xing Chen pointed to the room where his parents were, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that my parents won't like it. They like to listen to their hometown dialect when they are old. I wonder if you have time this afternoon, boss? Could you please be our tour guide?"

There are many kind-tempered bosses in Luojiang’s private inns, and some of them even let tourists have dinner with their own families. If tourists encounter any problems, they will help them like relatives.In the off-season, many innkeepers are willing to act as tour guides for tourists to earn extra money.These are the customs revealed in the travel notes on the Internet, which Xing Chen searched two days ago.

Qiao Qianyan looked at the grandma who was sewing the curtains in the room, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my grandma is not in good health, and I don't worry about leaving her alone at home. If you don't want a local guide, I'll find one. Others, some came from other places to work, and their Mandarin is very standard, so don’t worry.”

Grandma Qiao heard Qiao Qianyan mentioning herself, and asked in the room: "Qianyan, what's the matter?"

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, Xing Chen looked at Qiao Qianyan's eyes immediately dimmed a bit.

Xing Chen smiled wryly in his heart. It turned out that this name was still a few words that hit his soul as soon as he mentioned it.

The old lady Qiao came out of the room. After knowing Xing Chen's intentions, she looked at Qiao Qianyan and said, "How about...you will be their tour guide? I'm fine, and I won't wander around."

Xing Chen hurriedly said: "Old lady, your body is the most important thing, but I think you have good legs and feet. I don't know if the road to Luhu is easy to walk. I have a suggestion, why don't we go together."

Old lady Qiao's eyes lit up when she heard this. She hadn't been out of this yard for a long time. She usually did some work and had a meal, and a day passed.Qiao Qianyan had to stay in the store, and Mrs. Qiao didn't want her grandson to waste time taking her out for a stroll.So even though she has been in Luojiang for two years, except for the two streets outside the gate, she is very unfamiliar with other places.

Seeing grandma's eyes, Qiao Qianyan softened her heart a bit, looked at Xing Chen and said, "So...is it convenient for your parents?"

Xing Chen smiled: "It's very convenient, they like excitement the most."

So when the two elders of the Xing family finished their lunch break, a group of people went out together.

When Qiao Qianyan first opened the inn, in order to be able to answer the guests' inquiries, he deliberately spent a period of time traveling all over the Luojiang scenic spots, getting familiar with all the shortcuts.

Xiao Xu walked slowly in front of the three elderly people, reminding them to be careful of the stones under their feet from time to time.Qiao Qianyan and Xing Chen walked behind them. Xing Chen had already introduced himself to Qiao Qianyan before leaving the house. The two talked about the university, and Qiao Qianyan learned that Xing Chen was his senior. Shi laughed and said that the world is really too small, they are both fellow villagers and university alumni.Although Xing Chen's leadership aura is not obvious, people who have worked in government agencies for many years will inevitably make people feel old-fashioned. Qiao Qianyan is curious about his age: "You should have a child, right? Why didn't you bring it with you?"

Xing Chen: "..."

Xiao Xu in front almost laughed.

Mother Xing looked at Qiao Qianyan feigned anger: "Boss Xiao Qiao, does my son look very old?"

Qiao Qianyan quickly waved his hand: "No, Xing Chen's position is usually for people in their 40s. On the contrary, he looks like he is in his early thirties."

Xing Chen didn't expect him to be so old in Qiao Qianyan's eyes, so he said blankly, "I just celebrated my 32nd birthday. I'm not married and have no children."

"..." Qiao Qianyan hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Director Xing...you are really young and promising."

There are pig trough boats for tourists on the shore of Luhu Lake, and they can take boats to the small island in the center of the lake to worship the local goddess temple.Xiao Xu wanted to help Xing's mother get on the boat, but she stepped aside and said, "You help the old lady up first, we can do it ourselves."

Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "I have good legs and feet. Let this young man go up to the bow first, and the three of us will sit in the middle."

So Xiao Xu sat in the front, the three old people sat in the middle, Qiao Qianyan and Xing Chen sat in the back.The boatman began to tell them the legend of this lake since they got on the boat. The ethnic minorities believe in gods and are full of awe for all things in nature.After rounding a small island, the boatman pointed to the mountains in the distance and said to them, "That's our Goddess Peak."

Xing Chen looked at the mountain range and said, "I checked it on the Internet, and it said that this mountain range looks like a woman lying down. Why can't I see it?"

Qiao Qianyan patted the deck behind him and said to him, "Lie on the deck and watch."

Xing Chen lay on his back on the deck, watching Qiao Qianyan's thin lips open and close: "Did you see it? The one on the far left is the head, then the neck, chest, abdomen, and the legs on the far right."

Xing Chen's gaze followed the direction of Qiao Qianyan's finger. Originally, he was looking at the distant mountain, but he couldn't help staying on Qiao Qianyan's hand.The sun shines transparently on his fingertips, his hands
