At dawn, Xiao Xiang suddenly developed a fever but stubbornly refused to go to the hospital. Meng Tanqiu knew that he had a problem and had to invite the doctor to the hotel room.

After tossing and tossing for almost a day, Xiao Xiang's high fever gradually receded, and he slumped on the bed sickly, his already pale face getting worse.

Meng Tanqiu put a bowl of light rice porridge on the bedside, leaned over and asked softly, "Get up and eat something?"

Xiao Xiang shook his head weakly, "I still have to spit it out after eating, trouble, don't eat."

"..."

Wipe the sweaty forehead of the young man with a clean towel. Perhaps it is because of illness, his body is weak and he has no strength to pretend his indifference. At this moment, the young man is like a snail that has been turned over, turning his most defenseless side Being exposed to the outside world made Meng Tanqiu's heart soft and messed up.

Xiao Xiang glanced down at the slender fingers touching his lips, frowned slightly and asked, "Do you want to kiss me?" His tone was cold without any extra emotion.

Meng Tanqiu chuckled, "Will Xiao Xiang refuse?"

"meeting..."

The answer is hidden between the touching lips and teeth.

A soft, warm kiss.The sudden offense was easily dismissed, and even the words of accusation became pale.

"The tongue is not the heart."

Xiao Xiang lowered his eyes and did not show embarrassment, the strange bright red on his lips set off the white face with three points of elegance and seven points of charm.Dazed for a while, he murmured: "It feels like it's on the backboard..."

Meng Tanqiu's heart moved, he frowned and said, "Nonsense!"

Xiao wanted to raise his eyes, but his eyes flashed with confusion, "Do people like me deserve to be happy?"

"Of course." Meng Tanqiu's tone was affirmative, "I'll give it to you, even if you think about it, you can afford it."

Xiao Xiang was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth curved slightly, "It's really arrogant..."

Meng Tanqiu also laughed, changed a certain boring topic calmly, and sighed pretending to be emotional: "Oh, sick people are still cuter. Hm? I think this is blushing?"

Looking over expressionlessly, Xiao Xiang replied dryly: "You are also very cute. Your dislikes are still within my tolerance."

Ah!

Meng Tanqiu gave a short laugh with unknown meaning.It is rare for young people to be so eloquent. Who said that sick people are limp and easy to bully?The one in front of him was even more fierce.

Flicking the young man's forehead almost pamperingly, Meng Tanqiu said with a smile: "The kid talks a lot."

That's because, when he was awake, he didn't allow himself such a relaxing moment.

And when the sun rises tomorrow, the world will be indifferent again.

Xiao wanted to close his eyes, and rubbed his chin into the quilt as if warming himself, and said in a tired and weary tone, "Really, so tired..."

Meng Tanqiu had no choice but to hug this young man who seemed to be forgotten by God, hugging him and softly coaxing him, "Go to sleep."

May you be safe and sound in your dreams.

...

When I returned to the room early the next day, the person on the bed had already woken up. Seeing that he was carrying breakfast in his hand, he said calmly, "Thank you, I have troubled you for the past two days."

Meng Tanqiu paused, and that cold young man came back again.Sighing secretly, he walked over and reached out to touch the young man's forehead, feeling a little relieved, the low fever has subsided.

Xiao wanted to back away when the other party reached out his hand. The movement was not big, but he did dodge to the side.

Meng Tanqiu withdrew his hand and could only smile wryly, he was really passive.Getting close and avoiding are all controlled by young people.

Love first, lose first?This ancient law is really uncomfortable and helpless.

The two ate breakfast quietly. After the meal, Meng Tanqiu saw that Xiao Xiang's expression was still very bad, so he suggested, "Take a rest here for two days before going back to school."

Xiao Xiang shook his head and refused, "No, I'm already fine."

Meng Tanqiu took one look at him and didn't insist, pondered for a moment and said: "According to the calculation, the time for university should be nearing the end." Then he asked the young man opposite, "What are your plans for Chinese New Year, stay in City B? "

Xiao wanted to pinch the hand holding the chopsticks, and gave a vague grace.

The other party's cold response did not affect what the man said next, "It's more lively to spend the New Year with your family, Xiaoxiang thinks?"

['New Year's Eve alone is deserted...']

The man's words overlapped with what Su Nian once said to him, Xiao Xiang lowered his eyes, and the sweet pastry in his mouth suddenly lost its taste, and it tasted like chewing wax.

"Family reunion is indeed a happy thing, but what if the people who go back are not welcome?" Xiao Xiang looked at Meng Tanqiu, with a bit of sarcasm on his cold face.

Everyone was trying to persuade him, as if he was making trouble for no reason.go home? That warm place in City H was destroyed two years ago!Now there are his relatives in that family, but there is no one who is looking forward to his return home.

When young people seldom leak emotions like this, Meng Tanqiu felt fresh and distressed, and couldn't help slowing down his tone: "Do you hate your father?"

Xiao Xiang was startled when he heard this, and gave him a strange look, "How is that possible."

His mother passed away suddenly, and he saw his father's anger collapse. That tough man seemed to be weak overnight.Xiao wanted to feel remorse, but at the same time was horrified.

He admires the love between his parents, one person is the most precious existence in another person's life, even his blood-related son can't get involved.Such pure and strong emotions...

Xiao wanted to accept his father's sadness a hundredfold.He only feels ashamed, how dare he hate?

The young man in front of him that he cares about, no matter how cruel and unsophisticated he pretends to be, his heart is still so soft without resentment or hatred.

Meng Tanqiu walked up to Xiao Xiang and knelt down], looked him straight in the eyes and said slowly: "What if I said that Xiaoxiang didn't know all the facts about what happened back then?"

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao's mother's health has always been poor, and it was even worse when Xiao Xiang was living in high school, and she was even admitted to the hospital several times after that.But Xiao didn't know all these thoughts. First, Xiao's mother deliberately concealed it for fear of affecting him who was about to take the college entrance examination. Second, the teenager at that time was at the time of youthful madness and heartlessness, so naturally he didn't pay attention to the changes in his mother.

Until later, an unintentional pornography exposed this white lie, leaving two men who were caught off guard, hurting each other.

Meng Tanqiu had guessed Xiao's father's attitude. Xiao Xiang's doctor had issued a critical illness notice when Xiao Xiang was in his third year of high school, and Xiao's mother's life would last half a year at the longest.But it was this conservative estimate that made Xiao's father unable to face his wife's sudden departure. The man who loved his wife like his life panicked, and it was almost natural to vent his collapse on his own son.

People always hurt the closest people inadvertently, maybe because they are too close, they feel that even if they are hurt, they will be easily forgiven.The selfishness of human nature is almost instinctive.

What happened back then, who was right and who was wrong, has long been blurred.

But there is another person who bears the whole crime alone...

"I don't know about this... Mom has been ill for so long..." Xiao Xiang was completely dumbfounded. He only remembered that his mother was in poor health at that time, but he didn't expect...

Meng Tanqiu gently held the young man's cold fingers, warmed him with his own body temperature, and comforted him: "So, Xiao Xiang, don't blame yourself, your mother's departure is not your fault."

Xiao Xiang was the only one who was kept in the dark about the incident. Xiao's father and Xiao's mother directly denied his right to know the truth as a family member. This may be because of love, but love is so cruel.

Xiao Xiang tilted his head slightly, the slight fluctuations in his eyes gradually calmed down, and he said lightly: "So what, even if everything is inevitable, I still miss the last one."

Meng Tanqiu sighed softly and persuaded: "Your mother won't blame you."

"But I'll blame myself..."

Meng Tanqiu turned around and handed over a cup of hot water, calmly guiding Xiao Xiang to follow his train of thought, "So, has Xiao Xiang ever thought about going home to spend the New Year with your father?" Seeing the young man frowning sensitively and wanting to refuse, Meng Tanqiu interrupted: "Since there was a regret once, does Xiao Xiang want to make herself regret again?"

The young man's expression changed suddenly, he lowered his head to think seriously, and said uncertainly for a while: "Father, maybe he doesn't want to see me..."

Reaching out to rub the young man's soft hair, Meng Tanqiu suddenly apologized: "First of all, I want to say sorry to Xiaoxiang for contacting your father without your consent." Under the young man's puzzled expression, he explained: "Because I can't bear to contact you again." Seeing Xiao Xiang being so unhappy every day."

"...And then?" Xiao Xiang asked in a low voice.The voice was light and vague, hiding the tension he was desperately suppressing and the fear of not daring to face a negative answer.Wanting to escape, but looking forward to it faintly.

Too eager to be forgiven, a little bit of tolerance will be a driftwood in the big waves, it may not save people from pain, but it gives hope.

"Then? Then Uncle Xiao said that he would wait for Xiao Xiang to celebrate the New Year with him at home."

"...Is it."

For Meng Tanqiu, the moment his words fell, the young man in front of him was obviously stunned, and then he breathed out slowly.There was no joy or excitement as he had imagined, and even the young man's face became paler, and those light eyes were no longer calm, but mixed with obscurity, worry, and an elusive retreat.
