endless city

In a few days, An Guangyao's 70th birthday will be here.

Although An Guangyao likes to hold a birthday party for his grandchildren, he seldom celebrates his own birthday. This time, he just turned 70. An Guangyao offered to hold a public birthday party for himself, and he got it naturally. Support from the whole family.

The birthday banquet was scheduled to be held at the hotel, and many family friends of the An family were invited. Relatives and friends gathered together, and An Luo, who was taken to the military region by Anze to take care of him, finally showed up at the birthday banquet.

An Luo was sitting in a wheelchair, with a thin blanket covering his legs. He seemed to be in good spirits, and his expression was calm and calm, without any haggard look after being injured.

An Yan sat opposite his brother, thinking with complicated emotions: If the elders in the family know that An Ze likes his brother, An Yan will also fall in love with Xu Shaoqian, and the children will deviate from the expected track...they will definitely collapse right?

Unexpectedly, for An Guangyao's birthday banquet, people from the Xu family were invited.

Xu Zizheng was not present, but Xu Shaoqian and Xu Wan came to congratulate and brought a big gift to An Guangyao.An Yan didn't dare to meet Xu Shaoqian's gaze, so he straightened his back stiffly, pretending to be nonchalant and serving food for his brother.

In a state of chaotic mood, An Yan's meal was extremely bitter, and his favorite food was completely tasteless after chewing in his mouth, and every minute became a torment.

It wasn't until after the birthday banquet that Zhou Bizhen frowned at him and said, "An Yan, what's wrong with you? Let's go."

"Oh!" An Yan came back to his senses and hurriedly followed the crowd to leave.

After walking a few steps, there was a harsh "bang" in my ears, and then the deafening sound of the vase being smashed.

"Ah——!" With a woman's scream, the scene suddenly became chaotic, and the guests began to rush out frantically. An Yan froze in place, and before he could understand what was going on, someone grabbed his wrist. A strong force dragged him out of the chaotic crowd!

Being dragged to a safe corner and standing still, An Yan came back to his senses in shock, raised his head, but met Xu Shaoqian with worried eyes.

"Are you okay?" Xu Shaoqian asked in a low voice.

"I...I'm fine." An Yan grabbed his hand nervously, "You, what about you? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine." Xu Shaoqian looked back at the direction of the crowd, frowned slightly, "Their target should be your brother, who did An Luo provoke?"

"I don't know either. My brother is used to handling everything by himself. He never tells me what he's doing." An Yan looked towards the center of the lobby with a pale face, only to see An Luo lying on the ground, and An Ze was already crazy Just rushed up.As soon as An Yan's face changed, he was about to walk over, but Xu Shaoqian calmly stopped him, "Don't make trouble, the police are coming."

As soon as the words fell, there was a shrill siren from outside the house. A group of policemen with guns entered the hotel and quickly sealed off the scene. At the same time, the injured An Luo was rescued by the roaring ambulance.

The police detained everyone at the scene and interrogated them one by one. An Yan and An Luo didn't have much contact with each other, and they were let go after being asked a few questions by the police. It was Anze, because he had been taking care of his brother during this time, and became The police focused on the subjects of the confession.

An Yan was upset. After dealing with the police, he was in a hurry to go to the parking lot and was about to drive to the hospital. Xu Shaoqian hurriedly grabbed An Yan and said in a low voice: "You are emotionally unstable now, don't drive, I will take you there."

"..." Meeting his calm gaze, An Yan had no choice but to nod, then turned and sat in his car.

Xu Shaoqian drove steadily to the Central Hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, An Luo had already been sent to the operating room. An Yan sat down in the corridor and waited anxiously, completely unaware that he was holding Xu Shaoqian's hand vigorously.

After a while, Zhou Chengping finally came out of the operating room, smiled at the two of them and said, "Don't worry, the bullet didn't hit a vital point. An Luo's condition is not stable yet, and he needs to be observed in the ICU for a few days. "

An Yan hurriedly said, "Can I see him?"

Zhou Chengping shook his head and said, "No, An Luo is weak now and is easily infected. Don't worry, he has been sent to the ICU for isolation and observation. I will take good care of him." After a pause, he looked at Xu Shaoqian and said, "The ICU does not allow family members to stay overnight. Shaoqian and An Yan, you are big stars, staying in the hospital will easily attract reporters. Go back, I will take care of you here."

Xu Shaoqian nodded at him, "Is An Luo really okay?"

Zhou Chengping smiled and said, "I'm used to seeing all kinds of gunshot wounds, and his condition is not serious."

Seeing An Yan bowed his head and remained silent, Xu Shaoqian gently hugged his shoulders and said in a low voice: "Okay, since Taiping said so, you can rest assured... Go back first, I will see you off. "

"...Yes." An Yan nodded, and followed Xu Shaoqian out of the hospital.

Xu Shaoqian drove An Yan back to An's house.

When we got home, An's house was in chaos. The police were collecting evidence at An's house. Xu Shaoqian couldn't go in to add to the chaos. Seeing An Yan's pale face, Xu Shaoqian couldn't help but gently shook An Yan's hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, since Taiping said the bullet didn't hurt the vitals, your brother will be fine soon."

An Yan nodded, looked back at Xu Shaoqian and said, "Thank you...thank you."

Xu Shaoqian said in a low voice: "No need." After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Don't think about it, with your grandpa here, even if An Luo really gets into any trouble, grandpa will help him solve it."

"...Mmm." An Yan nodded.

Xu Shaoqian was silent for a moment, "Then I'll go first, call me anytime if you need anything."

Seeing the direction in which his car was leaving, An Yan's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Xu Shaoqian once said, no matter what the circumstances, I will never leave you... Yes, Xu Shaoqian still did not leave An Yan behind. When An Yan was flustered because his brother was attacked, he stood up decisively and held An Yan's hand gave An Yan a little strength to support him, calmly sent An Yan to the hospital, and then sent An Yan back home safely.

Even though he had been heartbroken by An Yan, at this critical moment, he still did not turn around coldly and leave, nor did he have the heart to abandon An Yan.

"..." Thinking of this, An Yan's eyes suddenly became hot.

At the moment when Xu Shaoqian gently held his hand in such a chaotic crowd just now when his mind went blank from the shock of the gunshots, he finally understood what he had lost.

What he lost was Xu Shaoqian.

What he lost was the protection and companionship of this man for many years.

He was already used to this person's company, and he even knew in his subconscious that no matter what happened, there would always be someone by his side, always by his side.Therefore, when he was desperate, depressed, lost, and sad, he knew that Xu Shaoqian would appear by his side, and he also enjoyed such tacit protection with peace of mind.

Xu Shaoqian is like his shadow, who has never left him for many years.He has always known that even if the whole world doesn't want him, he still has Xu Shaoqian.Xu Shaoqian's embrace is his An Yan's last warmth.

But now, he drove Xu Shaoqian away.

He broke Xu Shaoqian's heart with vicious words, and drove Xu Shaoqian away completely...

It turned out that what he lost was this.

What he lost was the most precious thing in his life and the thing that shouldn't be lost.

Therefore, with Xu Shaoqian's departure, he suddenly felt as if a piece of his heart had been dug out, and he was so uncomfortable that he almost collapsed.

Some things are like this, because people are used to it being around, people don't pay attention to its value, but when they lose it one day, they will suddenly realize how precious what they once had.

Xu Shaoqian is such a precious existence to An Yan.

An Yan looked at the back of Xu Shaoqian's car leaving, his nose felt sour, and he was speechless for a long, long time.

Shaoqian...I just found out that I fell in love with you now, I was really too slow...Isn't it?

That night, An Yan had another long dream.

He dreamed of the night when he was kicked out of the house by his grandfather in the first year of high school. In winter, he was homeless and shivering in the cold. Xu Shaoqian came in time and gave him a gentle hug. , warm hug.

He dreamed that in the last month of the year of the college entrance examination, everyone entered the intense review and sprint stage. Xu Shaoqian lent him all the materials that had been sorted out during the college entrance examination, and even accompanied him to review all night for several nights.

He dreamed that the day the grades came out, he called Xu Shaoqian in a depressed mood and said that he had failed the exam. Early the next morning, Xu Shaoqian flew directly back to Xilin City by plane, and accompanied him to the game city. He bought a lot of game coins, and played all kinds of games, such as driving competition, gun battle PK, rhythm battle, just to let him relax.

He dreamed of the summer vacation when the college entrance examination ended. He was idle and bored and planned to travel alone. Xu Shaoqian happened to be on vacation, so he went out to play with him. The two climbed to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. Excitedly took out the camera and posed Poss to take pictures, but Xu Shaoqian just looked at him tenderly and stood beside him quietly.

He dreamed of the year when the university started, he dragged a big suitcase to report to the school alone, Xu Shaoqian accompanied him to walk around the whole campus, and he high-fived him to win the best actor within eight years, giving him encouragement, It also gave him courage and a goal to strive for.

The familiar and warm atmosphere in the dream made him almost addicted to it, unable to extricate himself.

But at the end of the dream, the scene in the Paris hotel suddenly reappeared.

An Yankou said without hesitation: "Xu Shaoqian, I am not a perverted homosexual like you! You will only make me sick if you pester me like this!"

Xu Shaoqian directly pressed him down on the bed and kissed him forcefully, the wrist was pinched so hard that his bones were almost crushed.

"Shaoqian, don't force me to hate you..."

The crazy man stopped suddenly after hearing this sentence, and there was a kind of complicated emotion that made people worry in his dark and deep eyes.He looked at An Yan quietly, and then, he finally got up to leave. Before leaving, he said in a very soft voice: "An Yan...do you know, I will be very sad if you say that..."

An Yan lay on the bed, staring blankly at Xu Shaoqian, watching him leave like this, without looking back.

It was four o'clock in the morning when I woke up from the dream.

An Yan was lying on the wide bed alone, with a cold expression on his face.

I don't know if it was because the air conditioner in the bedroom was turned on too low, but in the summer, he actually felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar.Looking up at the temperature of the air conditioner, it was 28 degrees as usual, and his body was covered with a soft air conditioner quilt as usual... An Yan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the lingering coldness was actually It came from the bottom of my heart.

The original solid heart seemed to be poured into a gust of cold wind, blowing the bottom of my heart empty and desolate.

He already understood that he had lost something extremely valuable.

However, he didn't know how to get it back.

With Xu Shaoqian's departure, a piece of his heart was severely dug out, and there was no way to fill it up.

For more than 20 years, An Yan has never really loved anyone, so much so that now, he still can't believe that he has fallen in love with Xu Shaoqian without knowing it.

In love with that man, Xu Shaoqian.

Such a dull An Yan, such a belated An Yan... When he finally found out that he fell in love with that person, it was when he personally forced him away.

Just hopelessly stupid.

An Yan gently pulled the corners of his mouth, and a very ugly smile appeared on his lips.

Anze's words suddenly rang in his ears: "When you feel so bad for someone one day that you almost collapse, you will know what it means to fall in love with someone."

Anze was right.

The fault has always been An Yan himself.

Love is not as easy and beautiful as he imagined, and love is not as easy and happy as he thought it would be to spend a lifetime with a lively girl.Love is not as sweet as honey as he has been expecting.

Falling in love with someone is so painful...

An Yan lay back on the bed and wrapped the quilt tightly, but could no longer fall asleep.
