Virgin and Rabbit

So like this, Tang Mianjin temporarily stayed in Duan Nian's small building.

Tang Mianjin called home and told his family that he was in a safe place and that he would not go home until he figured out what was going on.

Tang Shuhe on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, then hung up the phone with a sigh.

Tang Mianjin looked at the beeping phone for a long time.

Life in the small building was very free, and Tang Mianjin suddenly realized that he hadn't encountered any crisis for a long time, Xia Xia was also amazed, feeling that he was useless.

Tang Mianjin went out to buy breakfast during the day, and traveled around. He visited several orphanages in neighboring cities, but he couldn't find any information that matched him.At night Tang Mianjin was lying under the covers and talking on the phone with Duan Nian. Duan Nian asked him if it would be boring if he didn't go out.Duan Nian had no choice but to let him go out and watch the road carefully, and let Xia Xia follow.

During the conversation, Duan Nian received a call from work, and Tang Mianjin hung up.

On the other side, Duan Nian.

"it's me."

"Hmm...It went smoother than expected. The woman didn't seem to realize what it was...Yes, let him go after returning. Don't worry."

One morning a week later, Tang Mianjin suddenly opened his eyes in his sleep, his pajamas were soaked in cold sweat, and he gasped heavily.

Still shocked, he sat on the bed to relax for a while, and was about to get out of bed to pour some water to drink. At this time, the door opened, and Duan Nian stepped into the room in a hurry. Before he could say anything, he saw tears streaming down his face. out.

Duan Nian almost didn't kneel down, put down the bag in a hurry and went to comfort him: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? It's okay, don't be afraid..."

Tang Mianjin raised his face and asked Duan Nian to wipe his tears. He felt that he was a completely worthless useless person in front of Duan Nian. Desperate into crying bags.

While sobbing, he said, "I'm not... I'm not like this usually, I'll be fine if I'm alone for a while..."

"Yes, I know." Duan Nian said softly, "Usually you are strong, come on, close your eyes."

Tang Mianjin closed his eyes obediently as he said, Duan Nian went to take out some tissues and came back to see his slender eyelashes trembling slightly, holding the tissues in his hand, he couldn't help leaning his face against them.Tang Mianjin felt the warm touch of Duan Nian's lips on his moist eyelids, and gradually moved down.

Lips pressed together, Duan Nian lightly rubbed Tang Mianjin's nose with his own, and the two enjoyed a moment of tenderness with their eyes closed.The ups and downs of Tang Mianjin's chest gradually subsided, and he opened his eyes to look at Duan Nian.

"Miss you." He muttered, reaching out to wrap Duan Nian's neck.Duan Nian picked up his two legs and let him wrap around his waist, and carried his precious buttocks to the small bar outside. Tang Mianjin felt something pressing against him under his buttocks.

Duan Nian gently put him on the bar first, and asked him, "Is it cool?"

Tang Mianjin shook his head, and he went to boil the water. After the water boiled, the sound was a little loud. Tang Mianjin was worried that he would wake Xia Xia up. Duan Nian said that he woke up when he entered the house, so ignore him.

After the water boiled and mixed with cold water, Duan Nian brought the glass of water in front of Tang Mianjin.Tang Mianjin had already come to his senses at this time, his heart was washed away by turbulent longing and surprises, but he didn't really care about drinking water. He took a small sip and went to Duan Nian to let him drink. Duan Nian took his cup and poured the water After drinking, he picked him up and went back to the room.

The two looked at each other in the dark, Tang Mianjin stretched out his hand to touch Duan Nian's eyes, Duan Nian closed his eyes, and let his cool fingertips lightly touch the corners of his eyes.

"Why? Do you have crow's feet?" Duan Nian joked.

Tang Mianjin withdrew her hand and snorted coldly, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised: "Hmph, yes, I am much older than when I was a child."

Duan Nian was slightly taken aback. He looked into Tang Mianjin's eyes, then heaved a sigh of relief, and squeezed his face fiercely: "Blackmail me? Little thing."

Tang Mianjin laughed softly, Duan Nian thought his laughter was very cute.

Tang Mianjin finished laughing and said, "You have been protecting me since I was a child? Still secretly? Little brother, you are dishonest."

Duan Nian looked at him silently for a while, then grabbed his hands to cover his face.

Tang Mianjin was cut off for a moment, feeling that all the flowers in his heart were slowly blooming in the warm spring, his whole heart was filled with tender and sweet feelings, and he couldn't stop the smile on his face.

The two of them whispered to each other again and again, and the air seemed to be filled with materialized syrup.

When Tang Mianjin woke up in the morning, Duan Nian was no longer around. He heard Xia Xia's chirping faintly outside the closed door, as well as the clinking of pots and pans in the kitchen.

He walked out of the room and saw Xia Xia was already sitting in the living room knocking on a bowl waiting to eat. He came over and said, "Are you awake? Have you eaten the breakfast made by your Duan Nian?"

Tang Mianjin wondered: "No." Duan Nian never cooked when he was in their house.

The curtains of the small building were opened, and the early morning sunlight shone in, and the dust floating in the sunlight could be seen.There are ready-made fried dough sticks and steamed buns on the table, which Xia Xia just went out to buy. Duan Nian is cooking pickled vegetable and pork bone porridge in the kitchen. Tang Mianjin looks at his busy figure in the kitchen.

There was persistent ding ding sound from the side, Tang Mianjin looked away, and looked at Xia Xia who was still knocking on the bowl next to him: "Beggars knock bowls like this."

He and Xia Xia have been completely familiar with each other for a week.

"It's not bad, I'm a beggar anyway." Xia Xia said, and began to ding ding ding more vigorously. At this time, Duan Nian in the kitchen said coldly: "Xia Lingyan."

Xia Xia curled her lips, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and turned her head to make a "super fierce" mouth shape with Tang Mianjin.

After a while, Duan Nian came out with the porridge cooked in a purple clay pot. Xia Xia cheered to serve the porridge, but was beaten by Duan Nian, and took Tang Mianjin's bowl like a dog. Duan Nian took the porridge in it, added Two pieces of salted pork bones and full of pickles.Tang Mianjin took a sip of the porridge, which was unexpectedly delicious. He raised his bright eyes to look at Duan Nian, who smiled and patted his head.

Xia Xia was too lazy to watch the two show their affection, she finished her porridge with a snort, wiped her mouth and shouted: "More!"

Duan Nian refused, frowned and said, "Go and eat the fried dough stick buns you bought, and leave the rest for Mian Mian."

Xia Xia's eyes widened, "Duan Nian you..."

"What am I?"

"Forget it, it's okay." Xia Xia shrugged, and opened the breakfast bag next to him to eat fried dough sticks. Tang Mianjin could still hear him muttering something like "Forget friends after seeing sex", "Ten years of brotherhood".Duan Nian turned a deaf ear to it, and after Tang Mianjin finished his porridge, he fed him porridge again, until Tang Mianjin's belly was rounded before he stopped.

"Is there anything going on in the morning?" Duan Nian asked.

Tang Mianjin asked expectantly, "Will you take me out to play?"

"Would you like to take you for a stroll?"

"Okay." Tang Mianjin was very happy. Although he often went out and ran around this week, it was different when Duan Nian came back.

After breakfast, Duan Nian took Tang Mianjin to the alleys. After leaving the residential area, he took Tang Mianjin into the car. It seemed that he was going on a long trip. Tang Mianjin was very curious: "Where are you taking me?"

Duan Nian didn't say anything and kept it mysterious, so Tang Mianjin didn't ask any further questions.

The car drove all the way to the outer suburbs, and stopped in front of an archway in a village after an hour or two.

Duan Nian led Tang Mianjin deep into the village. There were many dilapidated houses in the village and they were not very popular. Tang Mianjin occasionally saw one or two old people washing clothes by the well. It seemed that there were very few young people, so they looked lifeless and very old. a village.

Tang Mianjin finally felt something was wrong, "You...why did you bring me here?"

During the questioning, they were already far away from the archway at the entrance of the village. Duan Nian turned his head with a rare seriousness on his face. alley.This alley is older than the main road outside. The outer walls of many houses have peeled off, and the number plates beside the doors are also rusted.Duan Nian walked all the way to carefully identify the house number, and stopped at a certain door.

The two of them stood in front of No. [-] door. Compared with most other houses, No. [-] house is relatively new. At least the outer wall is still intact and the wooden door is not damaged. Tang Mianjin was watching, when Duan Nian suddenly asked: "You Do you remember anything?"

Tang Mianjin couldn't feel anything.

Duan Nian didn't say anything, just patted his head and told him to stand aside.He didn't seem to want to damage the wooden door, so he jumped over the wall and entered the yard.After a while, the wooden door opened and Duan Nian brought Tang Mianjin inside.

There are not many things in the house, because the furniture has been covered with a thick layer of dust because no one has lived there for a long time.The room is not big, and everything in the living room can be seen at a glance. After Duan Nian brought Tang Mianjin in, he didn't speak, and began to search the things here silently, as if he was looking for something.

Tang Mianjin also wanted to go over to help, but when he opened the curtains, his face was covered with ashes, and he coughed immediately, Duan Nian pulled him away: "Dirty, I'll do it."

So Tang Mianjin had no choice but to stand still, waiting for Duan Nian to feel all the cracks in the floor tiles, and stood up suspiciously.

Then he took out an old pocket watch from his pocket. Looking at the watch, Tang Mianjin suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. At this moment, he called him over and opened the pocket watch to show him.

The pocket watch was broken, and the pointer on the dial stopped at 45:[-], and there was a small photo on the cover of the watch, which seemed to be a family of three. The young couple smiled at the camera with their two or three-year-old child in their arms.

After years of baptism, the photo has turned yellow and mottled, but Tang Mianjin still recognized the person inside.

"I overheard the news when I was doing a task before. It seemed that it was lost and picked up by a gangster in a place, and was later given to a club by his son." Duan Nian gently stroked the photo on the cover of the watch, Closed the pocket watch and handed it to Tang Mianjin: "Return it to you."

Tang Mianjin took it over, and he stared at the photo above. The man in the photo had his eyes, and the woman had his lips and chin.

Tang Mianjin stared at the pocket watch, feeling a sense of excitement in his heart.Suddenly, he thought of something, and the excitement was replaced by doubts that slowly surfaced.He glanced at Duan Nian in confusion, and walked out of the house with his pocket watch.

When Duan Nian caught up from behind, Tang Mianjin had almost walked out of the alley, and he was standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at the sign above.

Tang Mianjin looked at his pocket watch, then raised his head to look at the house number, then looked down at his pocket watch.After cycling several times, the excitement in his heart has completely disappeared, leaving only doubts entrenched in his heart.

"No. [-], Fifth Lane?" When Duan Nian ran up to him, he asked suspiciously.

"It's five forty-five on the clock. You take me to No. 45, Fifth Lane. Are you going to visit Sixth Lane next?"

Tang Mianjin turned her head to look at Duan Nian and frowned deeply.

"...Baby, don't be angry with me." Duan Nian said a little nervously.

Tang Mianjin didn't speak, turned around and walked towards Six Alleys after a while.
