night torrent

After get off work, Yan Chen declined his colleague's invitation to have a drink, turned off his computer and left the company alone.Squeezing onto the subway, Yan Chen held the pull ring with one hand, staring at the window glass, but his sight was not focused, the left cheek seemed to still have the subtle touch of being kissed.

Yan Chen barely slept in the second half of last night, his mind was in a mess.Staring at the dark ceiling with eyes open, Yan Chen recalled many past events related to Han Yi.

Although he is two years younger than him, yet he has been taken care of by Han Yi, and they have known each other for two years without knowing it.Why did you agree to come out to meet?After getting acquainted on social platforms, we chatted nonsense every day, and suddenly one day Han Yi said that he wanted to meet, because he couldn't think of a reason to refuse, he agreed.

That day, Yan Chen arrived at the agreed coffee shop 10 minutes earlier than the agreed time, and while sitting in a seat by the window stirring the coffee with a thin spoon, he suddenly realized that the other party's intention might not be as simple as just wanting to meet.Abandoning the old relationship, it took more than half a year to finally get out of the painful hell of losing the relationship, and life returned to the normal track.Right now he doesn't want to start a new relationship.Hesitating whether to check out and run away, Han Yi, wearing a blue shirt and milky white coat, walked into the store.

Tall and straight, with a prominent face and a pair of obsidian-like eyes.Yan Chen couldn't help taking another look, admiring such an excellent skin, such a good-looking man might be able to form a long line of men and women who throw themselves into his arms just by waving.

Never thought that this good-looking man would be the date for today's date. When Han Yi came over to say hello, Yan Chen couldn't react for a while.He has forgotten what he talked about at that time, and he is shy of strangers, and he hardly talks in front of people he doesn't know. This kind of introverted personality makes Yan Chen passive in communication, and people mistakenly think that he has a cold personality and is not easy to get close to.

After that, Han Yi went to drink and eat with Yan Chen every now and then.Having someone by his side made Yan Chen no longer feel lonely, but he felt distressed when he thought that Han Yi might meet him with an attitude of being in a relationship.But Han Yi didn't make any further requests, and his uneasy heart gradually eased. Until yesterday, he only regarded Han Yi as a good friend.

Since when did Han Yi's mind change?Even if he tried his best to go back to the past time, he still couldn't see any clues. Was he too dull?

As soon as the subway doors opened, the crowd behind them started to move, Yan Chen was pushed out of the white subway car by the swarming crowd.From the underground to the ground, Yan Chen walked back to his residence. The traffic flow during the evening rush hour was endless, and the road was full of office workers carrying bags to get off work.

After dinner, Yan Chen prepared to boil water to make tea.I bought the tea from a newly opened shop selling scented tea in the underground street of the subway station. Yan Chen passed by after get off work two days ago and looked at it curiously, and was immediately caught by the enthusiastic clerk. Yan Chen couldn't help but bought it The herbal tea recommended by the clerk.The kettle was sitting on the gas and burning, Yan Chen took out the mug and tea, and was about to open the tin bag of the tea when Andy came back from outside.

"Give me a cup too, I'm dying of thirst."

As soon as you enter the apartment, there is a kitchen, and it is clear at a glance what to do.

"Are you drinking again?"

"I was stopped by a friend for a drink."

Andy was lying on the sofa with loose neckline, his cheeks flushed.

"I added honey to relieve the hangover."

Yan Chen put the teacup in front of Andy.

"Be careful of the heat."

Andy struggled to sit up and sipped from his teacup.

"What kind of tea is this? It's delicious, with a slight sweetness."

"Herbal tea with chamomile."

"Han Yi called me in the morning and scolded me half to death." Andy shook his head exaggeratedly and sighed, "Hey, he said that I threw up and fainted last night and tossed him half to death."

"You guys now..."

When Yan Chen heard Han Yi's name, his heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm.

"It's okay to be friends if you don't succeed in love."

Yan Chen finds Andy's attitude towards love unbelievable. Could it be because of his age?Because of his young age, he feels a little careless no matter what he does.They are obviously not a few years apart, but they feel subtle in their hearts.Women are not the only ones who care about their age, men are equally sensitive to age.Andy and Han Yi, whether they are five or six years old or two or three years old, are all younger than themselves. They are young people in the growth stage, and I, in a daze, crossed the threshold of 30 years old and looked ahead Winding down a slope...

"Compared to the men I dated before, Han Yi is a perfect lover. He is handsome, has a good temper, and is reliable at critical moments. Now that I think about it, I regret my decision. It's a pity that he likes and wants to date. It's not me."

"..."

"Aren't you curious about who Han Yi's sweetheart is?"

Andy smiled strangely, observing Yan Chen's words.

"Or do you already know?"

"This kind of thing is not easy to guess."

Yan Chen lowered his eyes, worried that Andy would see his guilty conscience.

For the next few days, Han Yi never showed up. Yan Chen saw a photo of Han Yi's Japan exhibition in his circle of friends, and only after asking about it did he know that Han Yi was on a business trip and would not be back until about a week later.

Not having to meet for the time being made Yan Chen feel more relaxed, but he still couldn't sleep well at night.He used to be able to fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, but for some reason he has been tossing and turning at night since last year.During the day, the eyelids droop and I want to sleep but can't sleep. The fatigue accumulates in the body day after day, and the spirit is also sluggish.

Feeling that his body and mind had reached the limit of what he could bear, Yan Chen had no choice but to go to the hospital to get some sleeping pills.

There was a huge crowd of people queuing up for registration at the hospital on Sunday. Yan Chen arrived at the hospital after eight o'clock, and there were already more than 40 people waiting for registration. He waited in the waiting room until after ten o'clock before it was his turn.Yan Chen walked into the consulting room, the doctor asked about the general situation, and quickly ordered him to go to the radiology department on the third floor for brain CT.

After paying the fee, Yan Chen took the receipt and went to the Radiology Department on the third floor.The Radiology Department is in the most secluded corner on the third floor, and the corridor leading to the Radiology Department is dimly lit. Yan Chen walked all the way to the end and saw a group of people standing or sitting outside the two heavy automatic doors.

Waiting makes people anxious and irritable. When an emergency patient jumps in the middle of the queue, the mood of the people around will fluctuate.After being courteous to an old man in his 90s who walked slightly trembling and needed help, the nurse finally called Yan Chen's name.

The automatic door opened, and there was a huge white machine in the center of the spacious room. Yan Chen lay down on it according to the doctor's instructions, and a white ring-shaped thing rotated on Yan Chen's head. A few minutes later, the doctor behind the glass window Tell Yan Chen that he can leave.

The X-ray photos can't be taken until the afternoon. Yan Chen went out without breakfast in the morning. At this moment, his stomach was rumbling and singing "Empty City Plan", and it was already eleven o'clock.

The outpatient clinic didn't start until one o'clock in the afternoon, so Yan Chen went to eat first, and then went shopping in nearby shops to pass the time.Guessing that it was almost time, Yan Chen returned to the hospital to go to the third floor to pick up the film, then went down to the second floor to see the doctor who saw the doctor in the morning, then went to the payment window to pay the fee, and finally went to the medicine collection window in the lobby on the first floor to get the medicine. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. too much.Yan Chen looked at a white ziplock bag about 7 cm long and 5 cm wide in his hand. The bag contained a week's worth of sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor. Thinking about the light weight in his hand, Yan Chen felt that today's day-long running and waiting was very exhausting. Not worth it.Yan Chen put the medicine coat in his pocket and turned around to leave, but he didn't expect the person who came out of it to meet Yan Chen head-on, their eyes met, and they were all stunned on the spot.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

After not seeing him for a while, Lu Yao lost a lot of weight, his face was pale and gloomy.His tired eyes were wide open, and a weak smile played on his mouth.

"What a coincidence..."

"How about going for a bite to eat?"

"I……"

"It's strange to eat alone, so just stay with me."

Yan Chen stood there hesitantly, while Lu Yao was already walking towards the hospital gate.

The two entered a snack bar near the hospital.The store only serves noodles and stewed wontons, and the varieties are written on pieces of bamboo slips and hung on the back wall of the cash register at the entrance.After ordering two bowls of three delicacies wonton stew, the two chose a window seat in the lobby and sat face to face.

"I look bad, don't I?"

Lu Yao's tone was half-jokingly relaxed, but Yan Chen felt a little terrified when he heard it.It's been a long time since I saw Lu Yao's cheeks on both sides were obviously thin and sunken, the straight bridge of the nose stood abruptly in the center like the hump of a dead camel, and the faded lips were unhealthy white.

"You don't look well."

Yan Chen nodded hesitantly, and Lu Yao smiled, showing his white teeth.

"I'm dying."

"..."

Yan Chen stared at Lu Yao dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his ears.

"Scared? I was shocked too..."

The waiter brought up two bowls of wonton stew sprinkled with shredded egg and chopped green onion. When Lu Yao reached out to take the chopsticks from the chopstick holder, his dark purple fingernails were exposed in front of his eyes, which shocked Yan Chen.

"The wonton stew here is delicious, try it."

"Why are you telling me?"

His heart was pounding in his chest, Yan Chen remembered the time between him and Lu Yao, at that time Lu Yao had no signs of serious illness, but he did see X-rays in the drawer of Lu Yao's room, full of Tablets with foreign characters, I have also seen Lu Yao enduring pain. At that time, Lu Yao was already seriously ill.

"I don't know... Maybe I just want to say it."

Because of the thin face, Lu Yao's eyes appeared bigger.Those pitch-black pupils are like a vast abyss, and the black nothingness that swallows the light can capture the soul of a person.

Yan Chen was afraid of those black eyes.

On the weekend in the second half of May, Yan Chen got off work a little late, but out of inertia, he still stopped by Lu Yao's apartment.Every now and then, Wu Yanchen would go to Lu Yao's residence, have dinner with Lu Yao, or drink some wine and chat a few gossips.He didn't do this out of sympathy, but Yan Chen couldn't figure out why.

On the way here, I bought some fruit, Yan Chen Zhang Luo cut the fruit as soon as I entered the house, while Lu Yao was sitting on the sofa reading a book, suddenly raised his head as if remembering something.

"Pour me a glass of water?"

"it is good."

Yan Chen answered in the kitchen.

"Back hurts again?"

"It hurts badly."

Lu Yao stretched out a bony hand to take the water glass, raised his head, swallowed a handful of pills, and gulped down the water.

"You go!"

Perhaps because of the pain, Lu Yao's mood began to turn bad, and his tone of voice became blunt.In order to resist the pain, Lu Yao curled up his body, and the □□ sound was high and low.When it was high, Lu Yao's body trembled slightly. When it was low, Lu Yao put his head on the sofa, and a layer of oily sweat appeared on his face.

However, with the passage of time, the effect of the medicine gradually took effect, Lu Yao's frowning brows relaxed, and his originally short breathing became stable.Lu Yao fell asleep.

Yan Chen sat down by the bed, looking at Lu Yao who was lying down and sleeping.Lu Yao was unconscious under the influence of the medicine, and Yan Chen obediently did not respond when he turned his body into a supine position.

In fact, Yan Chen had witnessed the painful appearance of Lu Yao's illness a long time ago, but he never thought it was cancer at that time.Yan Chen observed Lu Yao's sleeping position again. Lu Yao turned his back up and closed his eyes tightly. If it wasn't for the weak ups and downs of his chest, he would have been dead.

It's almost time. Do you want to go home?

Yan Chen covered Lu Yao with a blanket, and closed the door lightly.He rolled up his shirt sleeves, cleaned the bowls and chopsticks that had piled up in the sink for two or three days and put them in the cabinet next to the range hood, wiped off the water stains on the cooking table with a rag, and Yan Chen, who had nothing else to do, untied it. Wei Qun left Lu Yao's residence.

It did not know when it began to drizzle outside, and the fine rain woven into a gauze-like water mist in the air, misty night.Yan Chen looked at the illuminated buildings across the road, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

"careful!"

A pulling hand from behind grabbed Yan Chen's arm, and he fell into a broad chest. At this moment, a young man passed by on a bicycle.

Han Yi pulled Yan Chen aside, and asked as if confirming: "Did you hit anything?"

"..."

Yan Chen distanced himself from Han Yi, Han Yi's body temperature still remained on half of his body, they had never been so close before.

"Shall I take you back?"

The cold air of the rainy night penetrated through the thin spring clothes, and the wet cloth on the shoulders pressed against the skin, making Yan Chen's skin crawl.

"Is it cold? Your clothes are all wet."

Han Yi handed the umbrella to Yan Chen, took off his coat and put it on Yan Chen.

"you……"

"Put it on, don't catch a cold."

"Thank you."

Han Yi continued to hold the umbrella, and the two walked side by side under the black umbrella.

"I leave work so late, are you busy at work?"

"Well, it's the finishing touches."

Yan Chen did stay and work overtime today, but he got off work after seven o'clock.So it's not a lie, it's just edited truth.

"Did you just get off work too?"

"I had dinner with my colleagues in the evening, and they went to sing after dinner, so I came back first."

"How about the exhibition in Japan?"

"The situation is so busy that I was too busy. I had planned where to go for a stroll. After the exhibition, I returned to the hotel and was so tired that I didn't want to move."

"It's so miserable."

Yan Chen smiled, and at the same time peeked at Han Yi, then quickly looked away.Han Yi's expression and demeanor were normal, Yan Chen felt relieved but disappointed at the same time.Before I knew it, the apartment building was in front of me.Han Yi sent Yan Chen to the entrance of the corridor.

"Thank you, be careful on the road."

"Good night."

The two said goodbye at the entrance of the corridor, Yan Chen turned and went upstairs.
