lone bird

When Shi An took the students back to the hotel, the dean learned that their team had entered the final, and specially called to congratulate everyone. He said that the ranking is not important, but the important thing is to participate. If you don't come back with a ranking, the leaders in the courtyard don't know how to make things difficult.

Not in the mood to deal with the dean, Shi An just said a few polite words and then hung up the phone on the pretext that the students were looking for him.

After reaching the finals, the students were obviously a little excited, and they pulled Shi'an and said that they would go out to celebrate reaching the finals.

"There's nothing to celebrate." Tokigi pressed the head of the boy sitting in the back row of the car: "Tell me about you, you have to eat before the competition, and you have to eat after entering the finals. As for the shadow, you have already planned the celebration banquet back home."

Shi An felt helpless, the enthusiasm of these children seemed to be unclean.

"That's for sure!" The boy scratched his neck and shouted, "Not actively eating!"

The students in the car shouted in unison: "There is a problem with thinking!"

"Oh, when you are old, you can go to dinner with us." The student tugged at Shi'an's sleeve and begged, "You didn't join us last night, tell me, do you not love us anymore, we are nothing but cabbage !"

When Shi An drove well, he felt a little motion sick when he was in the car. He was even more dizzy when he was pulled by his sleeves like this, and he quickly said: "Okay, okay, go, really, you said it would be nice for you kids to go to eat, You have to pull me up and eat with me, don't you feel uncomfortable at all?"

"No!" The student's mouth overlapped with Tokigi's ending sound, "We won't feel uncomfortable, in our hearts, when you were old, you were simply an angel, an angel who flapped its wings and lost its hair."

Shi An smiled helplessly, what kind of angel wings are still shedding hair.

Students, no matter what class of students they are, they seem to have become Shi An's motivation to persevere in the school. This is the only existence in Shi An's unreal comfort zone that he can be proud of. No matter what class of students it is, As long as it was brought by Shi An, the relationship with him has never been bad. What's more, they still have contact with Shi An after graduation, and occasionally they can make appointments for dinner, although Shi An rarely goes out.

When he arrived at the hotel to put down his things, Shi An hesitated whether to send a video to Yan Feilan, but when he was hesitating, Shen Qi sent many photos one after another.

The photo is of a restaurant under renovation. Shen Qi respects Shi An’s meaning very much. When he decides to go to the material market to find materials, he will send it to Shi An. Shen Qi joked about Shi An, saying that he became the decoration team hired by him , Shen Qi knew that Shi An was on a business trip, and some things were just sent to Shi An to tell him the current renovation progress.

Shi An replied Shen Qi's message - [Boss Shi is very satisfied].

Shen Qi returned the boss's eyes-rolling expression, Shi An smiled and did not reply again, and when he was about to send a video to Yan Feilan, the student came and knocked on Shi An's door.

"Old time! Are you ready! Let's go! Let's go to the barbecue shop!"

Shi An put away his cell phone, shouted to the door that it will be ready soon, changed his clothes before going out.

When he was in class, Shi An usually wore serious clothes. He always wore a button-down shirt with trousers, and when it was cold, he wore a windbreaker. Students rarely saw Shi An wearing a sweater and sweatpants.

"Oh--"

As soon as Tokigi came out, the students waiting at his door looked him over with a long voice.

"When I was old, tell the truth, my teacher picked this outfit for you, right?" The students took every opportunity to tease Shi An: "This is not like your usual style!"

Shi An had the matter of Yan Feilan in his heart, so he couldn't help laughing with the students with a bit of seriousness: "Stop messing around, hurry up, which barbecue restaurant did you order? Did you call me Teacher Wang?"

"I'm calling, I'm calling, Teacher Wang is already waiting in the lobby, I'm missing you, let's go downstairs."

Shi An was finally pushed to the barbecue restaurant by these students.

While waiting for the food, he had to look at his phone from time to time, but Yan Feilan didn't send him any more messages, but he did send many messages to Yan Feilan.

The skewers were all together, Shi An had no appetite, so he took a photo and sent it to Yan Feilan, saying that he followed the students out to eat barbecue.

Half an hour later, Yan Feilan still didn't reply.

All the WeChat messages sent by Shi An lay quietly on the screen of Yan Feilan's mobile phone. Sitting in the car to the funeral home, Yan Feilan's eyes were dull, and his lips were a little pale.

Since the doctor announced the death of Grandma Yan until now, Yan Feilan has not shed a single tear. He watched grandma being pushed out calmly. He took the phone number given by the doctor to contact the funeral home. After the funeral home came, he only used Grandma Jiang covered it with a blue waterproof sheet, and carried her into the car on a stretcher.

Yan Feilan wasn't dealing with these things by himself, Shi An's parents were by his side, and Teacher Li was out of breath from crying, feeling sad for Grandma Yan and pitying Yan Feilan at the same time.

"Fei Lan." Shi An's father patted Yan Feilan on the shoulder and asked, "Do you want to post an obituary first, so that your classmates or colleagues can come to express their condolences."

Yan Feilan shook his head, the friendship between him and his old classmates had long since faded to the point that someone would come to help or offer condolences, once the obituary was published, maybe some troubled classmates would ask Shi An, After all, Shi An and Yan Feilan had a good relationship when they were in school.

Yan Feilan knew that Shi An's game was very important, and he didn't want Shi An to worry about him, so he just shook his head.

During the two hours of cremation, Yan Feilan sat there without speaking, as if his soul had been taken away. He thought that he hadn't been able to say the last word to his grandma. When he rushed back to Linshan Grandma has already been sent to the hospital by people from the nursing home, surgery, intensive care unit, and then to the operating room to the current funeral home.

Yan Feilan suddenly realized that his strongest and longest support in the world had disappeared and would never come back. The one who held his hand and said, "Grandma's Feilan, be a good person in the future." That's fine." The old man finally lay down in the small box.

It seems that no one will chase him with a feather duster and call him a little bastard, and no one will tell him to find a wife who is as smart as Xiao An.

Yan Feilan covered his face with his hands, his shoulders sank weakly.

A bird has lost even its nest, and it seems that it is destined to wander in the sky in this life.

The ringtone of the mobile phone brought Yan Feilan back to his senses. He took down his hand and took out the mobile phone from his pocket. The caller ID was Shi An.

The funeral home was not noisy, so Yan Feilan still found a quieter place to answer Shi An's call.

"What are you doing?" Shi An asked impatiently.

Yan Feilan wiped his nose, took a breath and said, "I was having dinner with my uncle and aunt just now."

Shi An asked: "Did you eat at my house?"

Yan Feilan bit his lips, and after loosening his teeth, his white lips finally turned a little bloody due to the impact of blood, and he said, "Well, I ate it at your house."

"What delicious food did my mother make for you?" Shi An asked but didn't tell Yan Feilan that he ate barbecue at night, he quietly waited for Yan Feilan's answer.

"Auntie..." Yan Feilan heard that his voice was trembling, he paused and said: "Auntie stewed fish for me, and... also made ribs."

There was silence on the other side of the phone, Yan Feilan wondered if Shi An heard something wrong.

After two or three seconds, Shi An said again: "Okay, I understand, you have to eat more, I will go back soon, Yan Feilan, I will go back soon."

Yan Feilan clenched his hand into a fist, and kept biting his index finger by his mouth, barely able to suppress his trembling voice.

Shi An's call didn't last long, Shi An hung up the phone and lay on his back on the bed.

Before calling Yan Feilan, Shi An just called home. Teacher Li said on the phone that she and Teacher Shi took Yan Feilan out for dinner and found a noodle restaurant. Yan Feilan went to the bathroom and couldn't pick up. his phone.

Something happened to Grandma Yan, this was Shi An's guess.

Shi An turned over, buried his face in the pillow, bit the back of his hand and cried silently.

Yan Feilan followed Shi An's parents back to Shi's house, and as soon as he opened the door, Fei Fei ran towards him and walked around his feet for a long time as if to comfort him.

He took a shower, Shi An's parents found him a set of Shi An's clothes to change into, and lay on Shi An's bed, Yan Feilan suddenly missed Shi An.

Without considering whether it was too late, or whether Shi An had already rested, Yan Feilan picked up his cell phone and called Shi An.

Shi An answered Yan Feilan's call almost immediately.

"Time shore."

Shi An hummed, and asked casually, "Why are you calling at this time? Miss me?"

Yan Feilan's hand was hanging by the bed, Feifei licked his fingers, Shi An's voice was in his ears.

Yan Feilan, who had never cried before, suddenly felt his eyes turn sore, he really missed Shi An, wanted to hug Shi An and tell him that he had no relatives, and also wanted to tell Shi An that he was the only one left.

The sky is not the direction in which the lone bird wanders, the shore should be the place to stop.

Yan Feilan endured the soreness in his nasal cavity, he asked with a "hmm", "Shi An, when will you come back?"

Shi An was now convinced that something had happened to Grandma Yan.

"Yan Feilan." Shi An wiped away the tears on his face, he said: "Tomorrow, you sleep well today, and you can see me later tomorrow."

Shi An's phone call was never hung up, and the two of them held their mobile phones, each guarding one side. Yan Feilan stayed up all night, Shi An gritted his teeth and cried until the middle of the night and finally couldn't make it through, tired and sleepy, with tears hanging on his face fell asleep.

Shi An was woken up by the barking of a dog. He glanced at the phone before he realized that the call hadn't been hung up all night.

"Okay, Feifei, it will wake him up, be good, stop barking."

On the other side of the phone was Yan Feilan's almost hoarse voice, exhaustion seemed to overflow from the receiver.

"Yan Feilan, good morning."

Yan Feilan was slightly stunned, and he said, "Good morning, Shi'an."
