drink moonlight alone

Opening a paper calendar, the autumnal equinox has arrived in a blink of an eye. The weather in Buddha City has just turned a little cooler, but the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the salty sea breeze blowing from the coast during the day is still unrecognizable.Two people who have stepped into their thirties and are no longer in vain to be called teenagers talk about love, but they are nothing more than greedy for the couch, and they are inseparable.

Sitting in the office, Zhou Qingyan had a sore back and a sore back. From time to time, she had to make sure that her tie was fastened, and that the top button was buttoned up—nothing else, it was nothing more than last night’s absurdity, and she let Zhou Weiyue go There are dense red marks branded on it.Although he didn't plan to conceal it wholeheartedly, Zhou Qingyan still had a sense of shame after all, and had no intention of making his private affairs public.

Only later did he realize that what was tied around his neck did not seem to be his own tie.The seemingly low-key black bottom hides the dark red check pattern, which is elegant and low-key, and the satin smooth surface material is very expensive.Sure enough, when Zhou Qingyan pulled the tip of the tie and turned it over, Tom Brown's signature blue, white and red was embellished with fine embroidery - this was [-]% Zhou Weiyue's tie.If both of them hadn't gotten up late this morning, it would definitely not have caused him to pick up the wrong tie.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyan couldn't help but laugh.

Looking from King Chuang on the third floor, you can just see that the top of the crabapple tree is still lush, but further down, the leaves are layered and gradually turn yellow, and when the wind blows, they fall all over the place and flow gold.People in Pingdao came and went, brushing shoulders in a hurry, which reminded Zhou Qingyan of all the things she had done at the University of California. Between the ages of 19 and 24, it suddenly seems so far away from now that I can't reach it even if I try to stretch my hand.

I thought of his roommate who was snarky but unexpectedly dedicated, and would cry all night because of a girlfriend who had sex with him; I thought of the English class who was always hunched over, and spoke in a soft voice, but he spoke the truth A professor who was full of enthusiasm at the time; and I just left the society and rented a house, the building is old and the sound insulation is not good, I can always hear the couple upstairs scolding each other in English and French; the blue sea in California is not as nostalgic as Kite Island ;The people and things outside the field of vision are wonderful, but they are not as delicate as the one in the heart.

When Zhou Weiyue called, Zhou Qingyan had just bought a can of Coke for herself, and when she opened it, the bubbling bubbles filled her hands with stickiness, just like the two of them were embarrassed in front of the vending machine that summer, And funny scenes in general.Then he held the missing half can of Coke, leaned against the window to witness a young and frivolous confession, and answered Zhou Weiyue's call with a smile on his face.

"Have you eaten? Another surgery today?"

The sound of electric current on the other end of the phone suddenly became piercing, mixed with the noise of wind blowing, and it took a long time before it stopped.Then there was a long silence, so quiet that Zhou Qingyan could almost hear Zhou Weiyue's breathing one after another, and the next moment, a hoarse voice sounded, "I haven't eaten yet, I... asked for leave."

Zhou Qingyan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and hurriedly supported the wall to stand up straight, "What's wrong? Are you sick?"

"No," Zhou Weiyue sighed on the other end of the phone, "Grandma had a heart attack and went to the hospital."

The moment his words just fell, the slightly open window of the office suddenly poured in the draft, carrying withered yellow leaves and the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.After Zhou Qingyan paused with her fingers, she lost her strength, and the Coke in her hand fell like this, rolling and falling to her feet with a "bang", and Zhou Qingyan saw that the floor had been stained with thick brown Coke, like mottled stains , Embedded in the texture, it can no longer be erased.

Zhou Weiyue bought the ticket in a hurry, and the location is not very good. There are no windows at the end of the cabin, and there are corner seats that are not transparent or ventilated. Due to the fact that the boats from Buddha City to Yuan Island only leave twice a day, It was a coincidence that they just caught up with them for the last trip.Zhou Qingyan has been silent since he got on the boat, and his expression is as usual. When Zhou Weiyue hugged him worriedly, he suddenly found that Zhou Qingyan's two hands were clasped together, so tightly that even his nails got stuck. In the flesh, four crescents were engraved on the smooth back of the hand.

"Brother." Zhou Weiyue's comforting words were on her lips, but she felt that she was clearly flustered. How could she have any position to persuade Zhou Qingyan? Break it apart, and rescue Zhou Qingyan's hand that was flushed red from being trampled by him.He took that slightly cool and trembling hand into his warm palm, placed it on his heart, and pulled Zhou Qingyan closer to his arms with a light and slow pull, letting the body temperature and smell envelope him Zhou Qingyan, "It will be fine."

"...It's too sudden." Zhou Qingyan opened his mouth with difficulty, and the words he confided were full of obscurity.

Zhou Weiyue sighed and said: "Actually, at my grandma's age, it can't be said that it happened suddenly, and when the first attack occurred, the doctor had already told me to be mentally prepared."

Zhou Qingyan was unbearably jerky, and leaned his forehead on Zhou Weiyue's shoulder with sadness in his words. Seeing that Zhou Weiyue's eyes were already watery from the corner of his eyes, he hugged Zhou Weiyue in panic, "I won't cry, you Don't cry, brother, my heart hurts."

Zhou Weiyue gave a low "hmm", raised her hand against Zhou Qingyan's back, and held him tighter.Fortunately, the location is remote, and there are very few people boarding the ship in the evening, and no one has the leisure to pay attention to them, so the two can greedily absorb comfort and support from each other.

The boat quickly docked against the waves, and set foot on Yuan Island again, but there was no joy and anticipation earlier. It was clear that they had made an appointment with grandma not long ago. It was winter and they could come back together for the Spring Festival.The county hospital in Yuan Island is at the southernmost tip of the island, quite a distance from the pier. It is small and dilapidated, and the two dusty buildings are next to each other. A few verdant seven grasses are stubbornly climbing through the cracks in the walls. , the rest are moss.

After entering the gate, there were quite a few people inside, especially the long queue at the registration window. They were all elderly people in twos and threes, and most of the few young faces accompanied them. They just sat on the plastic row of chairs and stayed out of it. .Zhou Qingyan stood leaning against the wall with her arms folded and Zhou Weiyue's coat in her hand. The county hospital was so old that even the wallpaper was full of historical atmosphere, with water-soaked marks and rust on the corners and corners. Spotted.

Zhou Weiyue stood at another consultation counter in front. He stood upright, with one hand in the pocket of his trousers, bent over to talk to the nurse at the window who didn't even lift his eyelids, and pursed his lips.Zhou Qingyan was in a daze for a moment, things happened too fast, he was caught off guard, and Zhou Weiyue had already taken him into the car in a daze, and was stuffed with a pot of warm thermos, and he repeated it patiently and softly Again, tirelessly telling myself, it's okay.

He handled this series of things with ease, without any panic or confusion. It was only then that Zhou Qingyan remembered that his parents were not around when he was young, but whenever he felt a little bit unwell, it was Zhou Weiyue who led him and wandered around. In the big and small corners of the hospital.She is not yet tall enough to reach the window of the consultation counter. Little Zhou Weiyue struggles to pay the fee on her toes, and writes the precautions for medication on the back of the medicine list-the child has grown up stumblingly, that generosity His shoulders are enough to take responsibility and distinguish between black and white. This is what I tirelessly remind myself that no matter how many years have passed, times have changed and mentality has changed, it will still not change. As long as I have Zhou Weiyue by my side, I will feel at ease about this matter. thing.

"I've been waiting for a long time, let's go, the inpatient department is on the second floor."

Zhou Weiyue turned back from the inquiry counter, embraced Zhou Qingyan's waist without hesitation, and patted Zhou Qingyan twice with a strong sense of intimacy and comfort.Zhou Qingyan was not as direct and meaningless as him, after all, he still cared about the strange eyes. Fortunately, most of the people in the hospital were preoccupied with themselves and no one paid much attention to their subtle movements.Except for the back of the consultation counter, the nurse who didn't lift her eyelids looked here expressionlessly, and only moved away coyly after meeting Zhou Qingyan's gaze.

Sorry for the brakes.I can’t reply to comments without binding my mobile phone, and I don’t know how many chapters can be finished. After all, it seems that there are still many things to explain, and I don’t want to rush to the end, so just like the copywriter said, please forgive me for being slow and procrastinating.
