Chu Yan didn't expect that Huo Qiao had already seen his thoughts.

He blinked, and then said: "I want to ask, but if you don't want to talk, I won't ask."

He looked at Huo Qiao, his brows and eyes were bright and warm by the orange light of the koi lantern.

"Actually, I want to say, if you have any unhappy things, you can tell me."

Chu Yan smiled, and looked at Huo Qiao seriously: "My mouth is very strict, it will be a good tree hole."

Huo Qiao stared at Chu Yan's face covered with warm light by the lantern for a moment, then slightly raised his eyebrows, "Worried about me?"

Chu Yan looked at him, nodded obediently, "Yes."

Sitting on the bluestone steps, Chu Yan looked undefended and frank. Because of the lantern he was carrying, even his hair was covered with a warm soft light.

His expression was very gentle in the warm light, and he looked at Huo Qiao very seriously.

Huo Qiao suddenly felt slight ripples in his heart like the lake in front of him.

He thought of the moths that kept flying into the fire in the night, and Huo Qiao suddenly felt a little understanding.

Under Chu Yan's gaze, Huo Qiao smiled.

"There's nothing to say."

Chu Yan's eyes widened upon hearing this.

In fact, his original intention was just to accompany Huo Qiao.

It would be even better if he was willing to use him as a tree hole. He would do his best to make a tree hole, but he didn't expect that Huo Qiao was really willing to tell him.

There is a bustling Shengxiao on the far bank, but when it reaches this side, most of it has been taken away by the distance and the wind, leaving only some music that cannot be heard clearly.

The flame of the lantern in Chu Yan's hand was shaken by the night wind by the river, and then slowly stabilized.

Huo Qiao was wearing a black hooded sweater, his cold white skin was also illuminated by Chu Yan's lantern, but the parts that were not illuminated were made whiter.

He was already very handsome, and his skin and bones were excellent.

From Chu Yan's point of view, Huo Qiao's face has a casual indifference in the night, but it is strangely charming.

Amid Chu Yan's heartbeat that couldn't explain why it suddenly started to speed up, he heard Huo Qiao speak in a faint voice.

"My mom found out my dad was cheating on me when she was pregnant with me."

Chu Yan was startled, he looked at Huo Qiao, but Huo Qiao's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"After giving birth to me, they separated."

Huo Qiao lowered his eyelids, "I haven't seen my mother until I was five years old. When I saw her for the first time, I thought she was a beautiful older sister."

He smiled, "At that time, my dad was worried that I would leave with my mom. He had someone lock me in the room and sent many people to watch me. Once I found an opportunity, I went out of the window and asked run to find her at the address."

Chu Yan's breathing became quiet for a moment, and he nervously opened his eyes wide to look at Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao's gaze fell on the slowly flowing river under the moonlight, and his voice was very weak, "She only took one look at me, and then someone sent me back. I didn't know that she really didn't want me."

The moon is melting, there is a gentle breeze on the river bank, and occasionally unknown insects and birds can be heard.

Huo Qiao seemed to have returned to that year again, he fell out of the window while no one was looking, and fell a big somersault in the small garden.

Afraid of being discovered by others, he resisted screaming. When he found Meng Ling, his body was dirty and painful, but Meng Ling just looked at him indifferently, and then asked someone to send him back.

At that time, although Meng Ling would not come to see him, grandma was still alive.

The old man would come to Huo's house to see him occasionally, and Huo Qiao believed that Meng Ling was too busy to come to him.And only when he really found Meng Ling did he know that Meng Ling didn't need him.

It was the Huo and Meng families who needed him, not Meng Ling, or even Huo Weiping.

A self-mockery flashed in Huo Qiao's eyes.

"Sometimes I feel that my life is meaningless," he said lazily, "Even if it wasn't me, there would be someone else, maybe someone else is better than me and more suitable for this identity."

Chu Yan opened his eyes wide to look at him, and a sudden pain filled his heart.

"Don't say that." He said to Huo Qiao urgently.

He took Huo Qiao's hand and put it on his chest, as if this could prove his sincerity.

"You are the best." Chu Yan looked at Huo Qiao seriously.

"No one can be better than you, you are you, and no one else can do it."

Chu Yan's hands were warm, but Huo Qiao's were usually a little cold.

It's just that when Chu Yan covered his hands with both hands, Huo Qiao felt that his hands were also warmed by Chu Yan's body.

This is a very strange feeling. Huo Qiao felt that Chu Yan's warm temperature seemed to spread from their touching hands to his limbs, and even his heart began to heat up.

Huo Qiao suddenly discovered that Chu Yan was very good at coaxing people.

He lowered his eyes to look at Chu Yan.

Chu Yan's brows were all wrinkled together, and his nose was still slightly red because of the collision before. He looked at himself seriously, and there was a firm emotion in his bright black eyes, but his expression looked like A little sad.

Huo Qiao thought, is Chu Yan feeling sorry for herself?

His eyes flicked from Chu Yan's eyebrows, eyes, and nose in turn, and finally stopped on Chu Yan's lips.

Because of the spicy food before, Chu Yan's lips became very red, even slightly swollen, and looked very soft, as if they were stained with a layer of honey glaze by the warm light of the lantern.

Huo Qiao never felt that he was gay, but he had to admit that he had been attracted by Chu Yan's lips more than once.

He really wanted to know what Chu Yan's soft lips tasted like.

Huo Qiao lowered his head slightly as if he had been bewitched, the distance between him and Chu Yan was getting closer...

Chu Yan blinked slowly, Huo Qiao seemed to be getting closer to him, and he smelled the unique cold fragrance of Huo Qiao again.

Obviously both of them used the same shampoo in the homestay before, and Huo Qiao's hair did indeed smell the same as his own hair.

But when he was very close to Huo Qiao, Chu Yan still smelled a very special faint breath from Huo Qiao.

Chu Yan's heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably, and his face became hot. He didn't know what Huo Qiao was going to do, but this distance made him feel so nervous!

Chu Yan's eyelashes fluttered, and even his body trembled slightly.

His fluttering long eyelashes almost touched Huo Qiao's face, and Huo Qiao suddenly felt that Chu Yan had held his breath for a long time.

He stopped, looked at Chu Yan, and chuckled, "Don't you feel suffocated?"

Following his voice, Chu Yan almost thought that Huo Qiao's warm breath was intertwined with his own, and he didn't realize that he had been holding his breath until he heard Huo Qiao's words clearly. No wonder he felt that he could not breathe.

After saying that, Huo Qiao stepped back and sat on the side looking up at the moon.

Chu Yan quickly took a deep breath, only to feel that his chest, which was tense and aching, eased.

His movements were a little big, and he accidentally touched the lantern he had placed next to him. The lantern shook, and Chu Yan hurriedly straightened it before it fell down.

Seeing that the lantern was fine, Chu Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he re-installed the lantern, he suddenly thought: Did Huo Qiao want to hug him just now?Just like when he is sad, he hopes that others can hug him comfortingly?

Did he react too much just now?

Chu Yan blinked, then looked up at Huo Qiao: "Did you want to hug me just now?"

Huo Qiao: "?"

He looked at Chu Yan amusedly, not knowing what Chu Yan had imagined.

Chu Yan felt more and more that this was the case, and he moved the lantern to a position where it would not be touched.

Then moved to Huo Qiao and asked him, "Do you want me to hug you?"

Huo Qiao frowned slightly, seeing Chu Yan carefully looking at him with wide eyes, felt a little hard to refuse.

Seeing that he was not moving, Chu Yan leaned forward and stretched out his arms to hug Huo Qiao.

"Don't be sad," he patted Huo Qiao on the back, "You are the best."

Obviously Chu Yan took the initiative to hug him, but he was so shy that even his ears turned red.

Huo Qiao's eyes slid over Chu Yan's red earlobes and smooth neck, and his heart beat uncontrollably like never before.

He sighed, knowing he was completely stumped.

Chu Yan is too much like a poisonous apple, just like when Eve and Adam were tempted, he knew he shouldn't touch it but still couldn't help it.

When Chu Yan heard Huo Qiao sigh, he thought that Huo Qiao was in a bad mood, so he hugged Huo Qiao even harder, and comforted him, "It's all right..."

Then I felt Huo Qiao buried his head in his neck, and then his waist tightened, and Huo Qiao reached out to hug him back.

In the dark of night, the two cuddle up to each other, which is a very intimate gesture.

Huo Qiao closed his eyes as if he was tired, and said to Chu Yan, "Let me rely on you."

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of heartache. Amidst his violent heartbeat, Chu Yan reached out and patted Huo Qiao's back again.

……

It was already late when the two returned to the homestay, and when they walked to a place with brighter lights, Chu Yan blew out the lantern.

After opening the door, Chu Yan was very sleepy. He rubbed his eyes and put the lantern on the table.

Huo Qiao saw that he couldn't open his eyes, so he asked Chu Yan to wash up first.

After they both washed and climbed onto the bed, Chu Yan remembered that he hadn't asked Xi Weiwei's aunt for extra quilts.

But he was too sleepy, so he lay on the bed and asked Huo Qiao, "It's alright if we put a quilt on, right? I sleep well and don't move around."

Huo Qiao raised his eyebrows lightly, in his heart he would rather Chu Yan not sleep well.

He patted Chu Yan and said, "Go ahead, sleep well."

Chu Yan said "Oh", got into the quilt, poked his head out and said to Huo Qiao, "You are so kind."

Huo Qiao rubbed his head, covered him with the quilt, and turned off the light.

The room suddenly became very dark.

Chu Yan turned over and wanted to sleep face-down to Ping Ping.

But he suddenly thought that he was sleeping with Huo Qiao, and it seemed impolite to turn his back on Huo Qiao, so he turned over again and turned to Huo Qiao's side.

He rubbed his eyes, "Then I'll go to sleep, good night."

Huo Qiao let out a "hmm".

Chu Yan felt relieved and fell asleep. He was too tired today.

Huo Qiao felt that Chu Yan's breathing was gradually slowing down, knowing that Chu Yan was asleep, but he was a little insomnia.

After living to be 17 years old, he suddenly bent. Thinking of this, Huo Qiao couldn't help frowning.

He also turned over from lying flat to facing Chu Yan.

When Chu Yan was sleeping, he curled up together, with both hands obediently placed on his cheeks, and even the sound of breathing was very small and thin.

Huo Qiao knew that this sleeping position was a sign of insecurity, and he felt that Chu Yan really looked like a kitten.

He looked at Chu Yan's sleeping face, and gently reached out his hand to touch the tip of Chu Yan's upturned nose, with his finger down, it landed on Chu Yan's soft lips...

Huo Qiao frowned, thinking of Chu Yan's previous theory about love, he clicked his tongue lightly.

He took his hand back, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

……

The next day, Chu Yan's biological clock woke up early. He looked at the morning light coming through the curtains and couldn't help but feel in a good mood.

Turning his head to look at Huo Qiao who was still sleeping, Huo Qiao's sleeping position was very correct, his eyes were closed, and his dark eyelashes looked longer.

He has prominent browbones, a high nose bridge, and thin but pretty lips. Chu Yan couldn't help staring at Huo Qiao for a while.

Then he got up lightly, and went to the bathroom as quietly as possible to wash up.

When he came out after washing, Huo Qiao had already got up and changed his clothes.

When Huo Qiao went to wash up, Chu Yan also changed his clothes.

He opened the curtains, and the warm morning light flooded in.

Chu Yan gently closed his eyes.

Huo Qiao saw this scene as soon as he came in. Chu Yan was actually not that outstanding in appearance, but he was definitely not bad either.

He always gives people a gentle and gentle feeling.

At this time, he was bathed in the morning light, looking soft and bright, even his soft black hair was dyed a little golden color as if it was shining.

Huo Qiao raised his eyebrows lightly, and said to Chu Yan, "Go, go out to eat."

Chu Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and he found out his mobile phone, "I'll ask Xiao Chengcheng and the others."

He asked in the "Back Row Friendship Club" group, but no one answered him.

Chu Yan leaned out the door strangely and looked around, only to see that every room was still tightly closed.

"Should still be sleeping." Huo Qiao said, "They all came back quite late yesterday."

Last night, Lu Kaisheng and the others didn't come back until after one o'clock in the morning. Huo Qiao knew without thinking that they were still asleep.

Chu Yan said "oh", thinking of something, he looked up at Huo Qiao, and asked cautiously, "Did you not sleep well yesterday?"

Huo Qiao glanced at him, and then said expressionlessly: "No, I slept well."

He usually has no expression, Chu Yan thought what he said was true.

He nodded and said happily, "That's good."

……

In the morning on the ancient street, there were many shops selling breakfast. Chu Yan and Huo Qiao ate dumplings in crab roe soup, steamed buns, duck blood vermicelli soup and tofu flower.

Chu Yan wanted to taste something delicious when he saw it, but the result was that he couldn't eat the duck blood vermicelli soup he ordered.

But he didn't want to waste food, so he had to try his best to stuff it into his stomach.

Huo Qiao gave him a funny look, and asked, "Can't eat anymore?"

Chu Yan nodded and shook his head again, "I can try harder."

Huo Qiao gave a "tsk", and reached out to take Chu Yan's bowl, "If you can't eat it, don't eat it."

Chu Yan was surprised to see Huo Qiao take out a new pair of chopsticks and eat his remaining fans. He was stunned for a moment, and his face slowly turned red again.

He felt that he had done something wrong, so he quickly apologized to Huo Qiao: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ordered so much."

Huo Qiao frowned slightly, and said, "I don't despise you."

Chu Yan blinked, thinking that Huo Qiao is a nice person.

After they finished their meal, they ate their food on the ancient street. Xiao Chengcheng and the others finally woke up and posted what they wanted to eat in the group.

Chu Yan and Huo Qiao bought what they wanted to eat and brought them back to the hotel.

After everyone finished eating, they packed up and prepared to go up the mountain to Lingxi Temple.

Lingxi Temple is a thousand-year-old temple. After several expansions, it has become the largest temple in Jiangzhou. The incense has always been strong.

They had already seen many pilgrims on the way up the mountain, and when they entered the temple, they were surprised by the many tourists and pilgrims.

However, although there are many people, the Foyin Ancient Temple has its own deep Zen, and there is still a solemn tranquility amidst the noise.

In fact, the boys basically came here to join in the fun, and it was the two girls who really wanted to worship Buddha.

There is still a place to release lottery in the temple, Lin Qianmian pulled Lu Kaisheng and said that he would ask for a lottery for the two of them.

Huo Qiao didn't enter the main hall. When Chu Yan asked him, he lazily said: "I don't believe this, it's better to ask others than to ask yourself."

Chu Yan nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

"Why didn't you go in?" Huo Qiao looked at him and asked.

Chu Yan smiled, and said with some embarrassment: "I am not sincere."

He doesn't believe in Buddhism. Since he is not a follower of Buddha, Chu Yan feels that he should not seek Buddha.

They wandered around in the temple. In the ancient temple, there is a tall millennium bodhi tree, and monks in cassocks recite scriptures to pilgrims under the tree.

The ancient temple seems to have not changed for a thousand years, and it seems to be a thousand years in an instant.

After a while, Lin Qianmian and others came out after worshiping the Buddha.

Lin Qianmian looked very happy, probably because she got a good lottery.

They went out from Lingxi Temple. On the mountain road outside the temple, there was a wishing tree covered with red silk. There was a sign on the table next to it, with the words: "Make a wish, 20 yuan a time".

A few people also saw this tree before, and there is more than one tree on the mountain. There are several such wishing trees on the way up the mountain along the bluestone steps.

Lin Qianmian and the others felt that since they were here, they should make a wish and make a wish.

Since it was a money transaction, Chu Yan thought he could give it a try.

So he also asked the shopkeeper for a piece of red silk, but encountered difficulties when he wanted to write his wishes.

Seeing him stop, Huo Qiao asked him, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yan said with some distress: "I wish too much."

Huo Qiao looked at him amusedly, "Then just write a few more?"

"No, no," Chu Yan shook his head, insisting that he could only make one wish.

Huo Qiao had nothing to do with him, so he said, "Then let me lend you my wish."

Chu Yan was startled for a moment, Huo Qiao had already paid the money to the shopkeeper and brought a new pair of red silk.

Huo Qiao handed him the new banner, "Let's write."

Chu Yan blinked and said, "Thank you."

Chu Yan first wrote about the red silk that Huo Qiao lent him.

"I wish my family good health and happiness."

When writing his own piece of red silk, he glanced at Huo Qiao and reminded, "Don't look at it."

Huo Qiao: "..."

Seeing that Huo Qiao really stopped watching, Chu Yan thought about it and wrote down his wish on the red silk.

——"I hope Huo Qiao is safe and happy, and his life goes smoothly."

He stepped on the stool and hung the red silk on the wishing tree. When he jumped down, he couldn't help smiling and looking at Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao raised his eyebrows, "The second wish is about me?"

Chu Yan smiled, "Guess."

Huo Qiao clicked his tongue and ruffled his hair.

After visiting the Xiting Garden, everyone's holiday trip is over.

Several people were exhausted and didn't want to squeeze the subway anymore.

Fortunately, there is a direct bus in the scenic area. They bought tickets and took the direct bus back to the city.

Both Chu Yan and Huo Qiao got off at the platform of No. [-] Middle School, and Chu Yan and Huo Qiao waved, "Then I'm going back?"

He also has to take the subway back to Yongmao Road.

Huo Qiao pulled off his schoolbag, "Did you forget to give me something?"

"Huh?" Chu Yan was stunned for a while, but didn't remember.

Huo Qiao gave a "tsk" sound and knocked on Chu Yan's head, "Where's my fan?"

Chu Yan blinked in surprise, "You want more?"

He thought Huo Qiao had forgotten about it.

"if not?"

Huo Qiao looked at the lantern that Chu Yan took good care of along the way, and said playfully, "You are only allowed to take the lantern I gave you, but I am not allowed to take the fan?"

Chu Yan's ears started to turn red again, and he quickly took out the fan from his schoolbag.

He whispered, "No."
