drink moonlight alone

When Zhou Qingyan stepped on the gas pedal and drove onto the expressway, her whole head was still as confused as if it had been filled with paste.

Last night, because of his impulsive stealing of Zhou Weiyue, he suffered from insomnia all night. He tossed and turned on the bed in the guest room, trembling for fear that Zhou Weiyue would open the door and ask him why he had just acted.Fortunately, this didn't happen. When Zhou Qingyan didn't know whether he was asleep or not, he opened his eyes and looked through the crack of the door, but the living room had already turned off the lights, and there was no sound from the TV.Obviously Zhou Weiyue woke up and turned off the TV light, and went back to her room to sleep, but when this happened, Zhou Qingyan didn't have the slightest impression at all.

Unfortunately and fortunately, Zhou Qingyan almost forgot that he was going to a neighboring city for an exchange meeting today, and when the alarm clock rang in the dark and misty sky, he left Zhou Weiyue's house with anxiety—behavior and fled Said, could not be more appropriate.

The wipers creaked and swept the dense silk rain into coils of water droplets, which slid one by one from the windshield until they disappeared. Flood conditions are severe, and traffic jams inevitably occur on the highway.At that time, Zhou Qingyan was staring at the rear lights of the Honda car in front of him in a daze. The confession message he sent to Jian Rong when he was insomnia the night before was lost, and he didn't know what Jian Rong was doing. He didn't reply until the next day. Just picked up the phone in boredom, and then went to check if there was any new message in the chat box with Jian Rong, an unread message popped up unexpectedly on the notification bar, and Zhou Weiyue's name suddenly jumped into Zhou Qing's eyes.

Holding his mobile phone as if he was facing a big enemy, he hesitated for a long time, and even when the deafening car horns roared from behind, Zhou Qingyan released the brake and moved forward.But I still dare not read the message on my phone.

Why did you sneak kiss me last night?

Do you like me?

Brother, do your parents know?

Zhou Qingyan involuntarily ran through the ugly, angry, and shameful words in his mind like a revolving lantern, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his hands were shaking and his heart was beating because of an unknown piece of news. , was so nervous that thin sweat broke out on the forehead.After repeated ideological struggles, Zhou Qingyan cheered herself up. If a man dares to do something, he must be brave.

With trembling hands, he slid open the lock screen, caught a gap between stepping on the brakes, squinted his eyes and clicked on the unread message.

——"There was a car accident on the Yixing Expressway, brother, please drive carefully in rainy weather."

There is no mention of Zhou Qingyan's worries between the lines.Zhou Qingyan softened her lower back in frustration, leaned back in the seat, and was momentarily at a loss for what to do while holding the phone.This thing, it's the same as the hidden secret love thoughts, fearing that he will find out, and fearing that he won't find out, the two thoughts pull and fission each other, and the contradictions are endless.

But what made Zhou Qingyan happy was that when he casually mentioned the fact that he was going to a meeting in Yixing City today, Zhou Weiyue naturally listened to it, and he didn't expect him to keep it in mind and read it at this time In terms of road conditions, he sent instructions to himself.Before Zhou Qingyan went out, Zhou Weiyue was still in the room, so lonely that she was obviously still asleep. It took less than half an hour now, so she must have just woken up.

Zhou Qingyan hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and typed in the input box, and sent it to Zhou Weiyue, "Got it."

At the end, I felt a little perfunctory, and sent another sentence of condolences.

"Remember to eat breakfast, don't make do with it, don't drink coffee on an empty stomach."

"Yeah." Zhou Weiyue returned quickly, even giving Zhou Qingyan the illusion that he had been standing in front of the dialogue column, "Brother, come back earlier."

Zhou Qingyan returned a "Little Pig OK" emoji and raised her head subconsciously. She glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of her eye, reflecting that the haze in her eyes had long since disappeared, and she never thought about it. Just a few words are nothing. Meaningful homely conversations are enough to open up his mood and make him smile.

At that time, the long and congested traffic queue delayed the congestion and moved forward a little, but it was not going too fast or far, and the car in front of it stepped on the brakes within a few meters.Zhou Qingyan was a little puzzled. Seeing that there was no sign of unblocking in a short time, he pressed the electronic brake and looked out of the window at the thick clouds that seemed to be full of ink.After a long while, she picked up her phone again. Zhou Weiyue didn't send any new messages after that, only the emoticons were repeating the dynamic movements in a funny and honest way. Zhou Qingyan thought for a while, and pressed the voice button without hesitation: "Come back After that, I have something to tell you."

When we arrived in Yixing City, it was still raining lightly, and there was a thin layer of mist in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The crimson orange sky near dusk was hidden in the dark clouds, and stratus clouds of different thicknesses came and went. Intermittently, the sky is connected like this, watering the two cities.Compared with Buddha City, Yixing City covers an area of ​​Liaoguang, with the Yijiang River running through the center of the city in the south and north of the city. Even though it has been listed as a developing city in the past few years, its economy has still stagnated, but it has won the Residents voted the best city to live in.

Zhou Qingyan was holding a large stack of materials stuffed into his arms by celebrities from various schools, and stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window. The hotel where the exchange meeting was located was not high-floor, just on the fourth floor. Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you could only see Umbrellas of different colors passed by in the rain curtain, and the first-blooming sweet-scented osmanthus was hit by the rain and fell heavily into the puddles, stirring up the reflection of the clouds little by little.Such activities are generally very boring. Most of the scholars sent by various schools to participate in it hold their own unique theories and talk about it. Tired, at this moment I don't have the leisure to think about the rare time I come to other cities to find a good place to spend time.

He just wants to go back to the hotel to take a shower, order a takeaway, sleep peacefully, and then open his eyes. Tomorrow he will go to the person he likes, and tell Zhou Weiyue the love language that has been hidden for 12 years listen.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhou Qingyan's mouth involuntarily raised a small arc, and his face was full of joy.

Unexpectedly, in a flash, someone patted his left shoulder from behind, Zhou Qingyan turned his head following the movement, and there was a strange man standing behind him.The man was well-dressed, with a slender figure framed by a three-piece suit that was neatly trimmed without any wrinkles. His sideburns were shaved very short from both sides, and his bangs were tied up by hairspray, with strands of hair shining on his head. He smiled slightly. Squinting his clear eyes and smiling slightly at the corner of his mouth, two small arcs were sunken on both sides of his cheeks.

With one hand in his pocket, seeing Zhou Qingyan turn around, there was a clear and audible nostalgia in his eyes: "Buddhist...Zhou Qingyan, Associate Professor Zhou?"

"I am." Zhou Qingyan blinked blankly, then nodded again, "Excuse me, are you...?"

"A month and a half ago in Jinyan, you gave me your business card. "

Zhou Qingyan frowned slightly and thought for a moment. He has always had a good memory, and it didn't take a moment for the person in front of him to be confused with the person he was walking into at the celebration banquet of the Buddha University Summer Exchange Camp a month and a half ago. Business man equating sign.I did hand him a business card with my own hands. At that time, I was too hasty, and I didn't care if I bumped into others, so I left the business card so that the man could come to Buddha University to find me if he felt any discomfort.

But a month and a half had passed, and Zhou Qingyan never thought that this issue would be brought up again.

Zhou Qingyan nodded suddenly, and smiled at the man: "I remember. Sir... is there something wrong? After all, I was reckless at that time. If I really hurt you, I will definitely pay you for medical treatment." Fee."

The surprised man didn't answer, but snorted out of his throat with his arms folded.Zhou Qingyan felt uncomfortable with his undisguised gaze, just when he felt puzzled, the man said, "You really don't remember me."

"Did you...recognize the wrong person?" Zhou Qingyan asked after a moment of hesitation.

"But it's understandable." The man shook his head and said to himself, "After all, we were only teenagers when we parted."

Zhou Qingyan frowned and thought deeply, trying to find the trace of the man from his memory. When the keyword "teenage" blurted out from his mouth, he suddenly realized, and said dumbfounded in disbelief, "Brother Yan?"
