With Brother Chun, he was always too stable, but in his dream, he was still uneasy.

——An Yuan's Diary



Before going to bed at night, I still think about the person who sleeps in the hut by himself. When he really fell asleep, he had no defense at all. He turned over a few times, completely relying on instinct, and pulled his quilt to lean against Shen Xingchun. I went up, but there were still two layers of quilt between the two of them.

An Yuan hadn't slept on the kang for several years. It was extremely hot at night, and the pajamas she was wearing were not too thin. After falling asleep, she kicked the quilt several times, kicking the quilt to the soles of her feet and pressing it under her calves.

As soon as Shen Xingchun heard the sound of An Yuan kicking the quilt, he would touch the soles of his feet twice, touch the quilt and cover him again. After tugging, she let go, and directly covered An Yuan's body with her quilt, putting it on his stomach and legs to prevent him from catching cold at night.

In his sleep, An Yuan followed the familiar feeling and smell, leaned closer to Shen Xingchun's side as he slept, and finally touched Shen Xingchun's neck unconsciously, resting on Shen Xingchun's pillow, a few strands of hair on the top of his head brushed against Shen Xingchun's Looking sideways, the hands under the quilt were still grabbing Shen Xingchun's cuffs.

Shen Xingchun moved his arm, An Yuan gripped it a little tighter, and even moaned, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Shen Xingchun didn't move at all, and let An Yuan tug on his sleeve.

An Yuan has been on the road for the past few days, either on the plane or in the car. He stayed in Guangzhou for a night and only slept for two or three hours. Shen Xingchun was getting older, his chest was always throbbing uncontrollably.

He couldn't be frank when facing Shen Xingchun, whether it was before or now.

Just like that for several days, An Yuan originally thought that he would not be able to fall asleep lying next to Shen Xingchun, but maybe it was because he was too tired, or maybe it was because Shen Xingchun had laid him a thick and comfortable mattress. He told Shen Xingchun that He fell asleep soon after saying good night, this was the rare time he fell asleep so fast and so peacefully in these years.

However, An Yuan slept soundly, but the person sleeping next to him was not. When An Yuan's hair brushed the back of his neck, and the faint smell of his body penetrated into his nostrils little by little, he couldn't fall asleep even more.

Shen Xingchun wanted to turn over but was afraid of disturbing Anyuan, so he lay upright, motionless, and took out the mobile phone by the bed with his other hand to look at it, it was past one o'clock, and finally he fell asleep at two o'clock.

Shen Qiu went to bed early at night and woke up early in the morning. She knocked on the door after six o'clock, knocked on the door with her small hand a few times, and called out for someone outside with a childish voice.

"Brother Chun, Brother Xiaoyuan, Xiaoqiu is here, please open the door for me."

Hearing the knock on the door, An Yuan grunted in his throat, turned over without waking up, and rolled out of Shen Xingchun's quilt.

Shen Xingchun moved in a daze, feeling that the temperature around him was gone, opened his eyes and saw that An Yuan had rolled out of his quilt, and there was nothing on his body, and pulled the quilt that An Yuan was pressing on the bottom of his feet to cover him. Cover it, and then put on your clothes and go down to open the door for Shen Qiu.

"Xiao Qiu, why did you get up so early today?" Shen Xingchun yawned and picked up Shen Qiu, and finally put Shen Qiu on the kang, and brought her a small quilt, and lay down again with his clothes on. The quilt covered the feet.

"Brother Chun, it's past six o'clock, I wake up at this time every day." Shen Qiu said.

Shen Xingchun answered vaguely: "I feel like I just fell asleep. Brother Chun is still sleepy. I will play with you later, and you can lie down and sleep for a while."

Shen Xingchun patted the open space between him and An Yuan, signaling Shen Qiu to lie between them.

Shen Qiu was pulling the quilt in his hand, seeing that Shen Xingchun closed his eyes again, and An Yuan was still awake, so he responded with a sound to lie between them, but moved closer to An Yuan, pointing at the back of An Yuan's head hehe Laughed twice.

Children are very playful, and it is impossible to just lie down so peacefully. Shen Qiu got up after lying down for 2 minutes, sat next to An Yuan, pinched his nose and poked his face, and said "Brother Xiaoyuaner" in his mouth. barking non-stop.

No matter how soundly An Yuan slept, she was awakened by Shen Qiu's poke. She opened her eyes and was stunned for a long time. After a few seconds, she was sure that she was no longer dreaming.

He turned around and looked at Shen Xingchun who was lying next to him through Shen Qiu. Shen Xingchun had one arm on top of his head, pressing his forehead and eyes, and he seemed to be still asleep.

Shen Qiu saw that An Yuan didn't look at him, and angrily poked An Yuan's arm again, An Yuan then looked at Shen Qiu, grabbed her two braids and asked, "Who braided Xiao Qiu's hair?" Ah so pretty."

The little girl loves to be praised for her beauty. When An Yuan said that her braids are beautiful, she shook her two braided tails and said proudly, "Grandma made it for me. Grandma knows how to weave it." I’ve braided my hair, and I don’t have to braid it every day.”

After arguing with Shen Qiu twice, An Yuan woke up completely, got up from the bed, saw Shen Qiu was there, didn't change his pajamas, just put a sweater on over the pajamas, took off the sweater after putting on, and went to Shen Xingchun moved around, and touched him with his elbow through the quilt.

"Brother Chun, my clothes are too thin, you can find me another sweater."

Shen Xingchun took off the arm that was pressing on the top of his head, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't look like he just woke up, his eyes were quite clear.

He found several pieces of clothes for An Yuan. They were worn outside and inside, and they had everything except underwear.

An Yuan slept soundly for several days in a row, but Shen Xingchun's eyes were getting darker and darker. He yawned non-stop every morning and had no energy. He had to take a nap at noon.

An Yuan knew that Shen Xingchun hadn't slept well these few days, and he also knew that he loved to go to Shen Xingchun's side every night. In the morning, he woke up earlier than Shen Xingchun, and when he saw himself under Shen Xingchun's quilt, he sneaked out again.

He didn't ask Shen Xingchun why he didn't sleep well, either because he didn't want to ask, or because he didn't dare to ask.



In the past few days when An Yuan came back, the phone calls have not been disconnected, at night and during the day, there are calls from An Guoqing and Jiang Lan, but most of them are from his classmates, and there are also various text messages.

An Yuan was either on the phone or replying to messages, switching back and forth between various languages ​​on the phone every day.

Shen Xingchun could understand English, and when An Yuan used English, he was almost chatting with his classmates, and nothing else mattered.

But when An Yuan spoke Spanish, he couldn’t understand it, and each time An Yuan spent a long time on the phone in Spanish, at least 10 minutes, the longest time An Yuan talked on the phone for almost an hour, The phone hangs up when it's out of battery. Every time I talk and laugh, I don't let go when I pick up the phone.

An Yuan sometimes gets tired of lifting her mobile phone, so she will talk directly on the hands-free.

Shen Xingchun could tell that the person speaking Spanish on the phone was a man, his voice was deep and magnetic.

It was the same on the day of the new year. Grandpa had just finished making two red lanterns. When he saw An Yuan on the phone, he directly handed the lanterns to Shen Xingchun and asked him to hang them at the gate of the courtyard.

Shen Xingchun held the two lanterns without moving, stood at the door and watched An Yuan sitting on the chair by the window and calling the Spanish man. He wanted to interrupt several times, but felt it was impolite, so he just stood at the door and waited for his call finished.

Until An Yuan noticed Shen Xingchun, he held the phone by his ear and spoke Spanish with one hand, and pointed to the red lantern in Shen Xingchun's hand with the other, signaling him to wait a while.

An Yuan talked for another 2 minutes before hanging up the phone with a smile, and then said to Shen Xingchun: "My classmate is a Spaniard."

"I can tell." Shen Xingchun said.

"Brother Chun, do you understand Spanish?" An Yuan asked.

Shen Xingchun handed the lantern in his hand to An Yuan, shook his head and said, "I don't understand, I guess, there are Spaniards in the school."

An Yuan took the lantern Shen Xingchun handed over, and walked out the door together beside Shen Xingchun, saying, "I started learning Spanish a year ago, and it was my classmate who taught me. Every time we talk on the phone, They don’t even use English, and just now he pointed out several grammatical mistakes to me.”

Shen Xingchun nodded, said "um" softly, and said nothing else.

As soon as the wind blew outside the door, An Yuan unconsciously leaned against Shen Xingchun, facing the cold wind and said: "Brother Chun, you said let me go outside to have a look, I have been to many places in the past few years, and I know There were a lot of people."

"Very good." Shen Xingchun said.

An Yuan just smiled lightly and didn't answer any more.

When the two of them hung up the lantern, Shen Qiu just came back from the outside with his grandma. When Shen Qiu saw the hung lantern at the gate of the courtyard, he opened his hand for An Yuan to hold her. She wanted to touch the lantern.

An Yuan asked Shen Qiu to ride on her neck, but Shen Qiu still couldn't reach it, and was afraid that she would fall.

Standing behind An Yuan, Shen Xingchun directly hugged Shen Qiu and lifted her up, "Touch her now, but only twice."

Shen Qiu patted the red lantern with his hand, touched it twice obediently, giggled, and said it was beautiful.

Before going to bed at night, An Yuan's mobile phone on the table rang again, but this time An Yuan was not in the house, he was taking a shower in the bathroom, Shen Xingchun glanced at his mobile phone, and he knew it when he saw the note, the caller It was the same Spanish man named Pablo.

Pablo, Pablo, Pablo, Shen Xingchun murmured to himself several times in his heart, and then silently said in his heart, what kind of fame is this?

Shen Xingchun frowned and stared at the phone's automatic ringtone, but it rang again after a few seconds.

Shen Xingchun waited until the phone rang for the third time, reached out to pick it up, pressed the answer button, and said "Hello" to the other side in English.

The man over there was obviously taken aback, recognized that it was not An Yuan's voice, and replied hello in English, saying that he was looking for An Yuan.

"He's not here now," Shen Xingchun said in English, "He's taking a shower, he doesn't have a cell phone."

The Spanish man on the other side of the phone was obviously startled, he was silent for a long time, not knowing how to answer, he hesitated for a long time and asked about the relationship between Shen Xingchun and An Yuan.

Shen Xingchun didn't say anything about his relationship with An Yuan, but asked in English: "What's the matter with you? I can tell him."

"It's nothing. If he's not here, I'll call him later." The Spanish man hurriedly hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Shen Xingchun put An Yuan's phone back on the table. When An Yuan came out of the shower, Shen Xingchun didn't tell him about the Spanish man's phone call. After laying down the mattress, Shen Xingchun patted An Yuan and signaled An Yuan to go to sleep. The Spanish man didn't call again after that.

An Yuan took the body lotion and sat on the edge of the kang to wipe his face, hands and neck. Shen Xingchun spread the quilt and turned around. Seeing that the back of An Yuan's neck was still not evenly applied, he said to him: "Xiao Yuaner, The back of the neck was left a little bit untouched."

"Where is it?" An Yuan stretched out his palm to touch the back of his neck, and asked while touching, "Is it here?"

"No." Shen Xingchun saw that An Yuan hadn't found the right place several times, so he directly raised his hand to wipe it off for him, "It's here, near the base of the neck, it's a bit uneven."

When Shen Xingchun's fingers touched Anyuan's neck, Anyuan flinched, and Shen Xingchun quickly withdrew his hand and pulled the light cord.

An Yuan sat in the dark by himself for a long time, and was stunned for a long time, feeling the warmth of Shen Xingchun's fingers on the back of his neck, a little cold, a little rough, a little itchy, and a little painful.

An Yuan waited until Shen Xingchun told him to lie down and sleep before he lay down dawdly. After covering the quilt and saying good night to Shen Xingchun, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

An Guoqing came three days later, but he said he could only stay for two days. Jiang Lan was very busy at the end of the year, and he had to go back to help after two days. When eating at the dinner table, he asked An Yuan if he would go back with him .

Shen Xingchun glanced at An Yuan with his chopsticks and said nothing. An Yuan noticed his gaze and looked back at him without saying a word.

Grandma Shen refused to let An Yuan go, so she spoke first: "Xiao Yuan'er hasn't been back for the New Year in several years, and this year she will definitely not let him go, he will celebrate the New Year at home."

An Guoqing just asked casually. An Yuan also said before that he would go back after the new year.

But when Shen Qiu, who was sitting on An Yuan's lap and was eating chicken legs, heard that An Yuan was about to leave, he still had a large piece of chicken leg in his mouth. He pursed his lips and pressed the corners of his mouth downwards, and tears filled his eyes instantly. Two lines of small tears slid down, making her miserable first.

While crying, he hugged An Yuan's arm with his oily little hands, and he didn't let go after hugging him, crying, "Brother Xiao Yuan'er won't leave, and brother Xiao Yuan'er said he wants to play with Xiao Qiu."

An Yuan was afraid that something would choke on Shen Qiu's mouth, so he quickly coaxed her, "Don't leave, let's play with Xiaoqiu, and leave after the new year."

Shen Qiu heard that An Yuan said that he couldn't leave, and immediately changed his smiling face, raised his little arm, wiped away his tears and continued to eat the chicken leg in his hand. After eating, he was going to go out to play. An Yuan was also full. Then Shen Qiu went out.

An Guoqing and Grandpa Shen drank some wine and talked more and more. When they mentioned that the children had grown up, they sighed with emotion.

An Yuan was not there, An Guoqing looked at Shen Xingchun who was sitting next to him, put his arm on his shoulder and asked, "Dachun, I remember correctly that I am 25 this year, right? There is no one in school?"

Shen Xingchun shook his head with a smile, took a sip from the wine glass in front of him and said, "Uncle An, I'm not here yet."

Grandpa Shen said at the side: "I asked his grandma every year, and every year he said no, said he was not in a hurry, and said he didn't have time. I thought about staying in Beijing for so many years. I'm not boasting. Our big guy grows up. He's not bad, he's tall and handsome, and his personality is nothing to say, he should have had it long ago, and he was asked to bring a date back on the phone before the Chinese New Year."

"That's not it," Grandma Shen answered, "When I was 25, Jianjun was already the boss, Dachun's mouth was tight, so I said no, you see, I came back by myself again."

Shen Xingchun smiled and patted grandma's arm and said: "Grandma, it's not that I'm so tight-lipped that I don't want to tell you, it's true that I don't have time, there are so many things to do at school, and I'm so busy that I don't even have time to sleep, how can I have time to date. "

"It's right for young people to work hard." An Guoqing patted Shen Xingchun on the shoulder. He was happy tonight, drank a little too much, and his face was a little red, but he still spoke clearly.

He patted Shen Xingchun on the shoulder again, turned his head and glanced towards the door, but didn't see An Yuan, and continued to say to Shen Xingchun: "But Dachun, 25 is really not young, and I have to find time to date, you see Grandpa and grandma are in a hurry, let me tell you, Xiao Yuaner is already in love, and he is four years younger than you..."
