Chapter 61 Fox Ears

Qi Yan couldn't figure it out.

He remembered that the first time he saw Cheng Sen was on the second day after joining the company. He was sitting by the window with a second-hand laptop brought from the company. Then Cheng Sen came over and put his work card on the table. superior.

Qi Yan raised his head, met Cheng Sen's eyes briefly, and then he thanked Cheng Sen, who pursed his lips and walked away.

In his memory, Cheng Sen's hair was always gray and his glasses were thick, so he never dared to look into his eyes.But sometimes Cheng Sen would stare at him inexplicably, and when Qi Yan came out of the subway, he would see that shrinking figure from time to time.

That's it.

The phone in his pocket rang, Qi Yan moved his finger, Cheng Sen took a step forward, the dry branch under his feet was broken with a click.

He kept his eyes wide open desperately, and put his feet forward and backward, as if Cheng Sen was going to strangle him to death the second Qi Yan answered the phone.

"How are you going to save me?" Qi Yan lowered his hands by his side with a calm tone.

Cheng Sen seemed to be thinking about how to answer this question. His two very pale eyebrows were pulled together. He paused for a while, then shook his head and said to him: "I can't say it, he won't let me say it... "

The temperature was getting colder, but Qi Yan felt that his chest was tight, and his palms were sweating.

"Did you find someone else to rescue me?"

Cheng Sen clasped the back of his hand hard, and he took a few breaths: "He will help us...Qi Yan, we are actually the same kind of people, Xia Shishen is using you...Maybe you don't believe it now, But you'll soon find out the truth..."

Cheng Sen's speech became faster and faster, and Qi Yan could even hear the sound of his mouth slobbering. He looked at Qi Yan carefully, and then said: "I shouldn't have come to you...but I can't help it, I want to tell you the good news quickly."

"Then you..." Cheng Sen's speech speed suddenly slowed down, his cheeks were like swollen red balloons, he asked, "Are you happy?"

Qi Yan clenched his fingers unconsciously, and his cold fingertips touched his sweaty palm, as if he had touched a cold, greasy dead fish.

Qi Yan moved his lips, and then whispered that he was happy. He suddenly felt that his lips were very dry, as if they were about to split.

Cheng Sen laughed. He pulled his hair and repeated over and over again: I knew you would be happy. Ten minutes ago, Qi Yan wanted to ask Cheng Sen what he liked about him, but now, Qi Yan felt it was unnecessary to ask.

Cheng Sen is a patient, he has a very serious infectious disease, and Cheng Sen is now planning to infect him with this disease.

A white plastic bag was hung on the wire not far away, and a gust of wind blew, like a force of desperate tearing, and the shriveled bag was full of wind.

Qi Yan watched Cheng Sen walk forward, he turned his head after taking two steps, and waved at him embarrassingly.

Qi Yan originally wanted to perform all the tricks, but his arm was so heavy that he couldn't help the pain even when he lifted a finger.So he stood where he was, watching Cheng Sen walk farther and farther with his back bowed, and finally disappeared completely at the entrance of the alley.

Qi Yan tried his best to open his eyes, the surroundings were calm and windless, but the plastic bag hanging on the wire suddenly floated down and landed in front of him without any weight.Qi Yan walked over, bent down to pick up the plastic bag, took two steps forward, and threw the bag into the stained trash can.

The senses suddenly became sensitive, and there were bursts of acid regurgitation in the stomach, as if the skin of the swallowed capsule stuck to the esophagus, Qi Yan couldn't help squatting on the ground and retching, but he couldn't vomit anything.There was the sound of a car's engine at the entrance of the alley, the tires rolled over the uneven mud, and the dazzling headlights hit him.

Qi Yan couldn't help closing his eyes, the engine was turned off, the people in the car stepped down, and closed the door heavily.

The thick and cold pine smell wrapped him up, the man reached into his pocket, took his phone away, tapped the screen several times, then grabbed his hand, and separated his tightly clenched fingers one by one .

"Qi Yan." The man's voice was as gentle as possible, "Look at me."

Qi Yan grabbed the hem of the man's clothes, and he slowly opened his eyes, only to realize that his eyelashes were wet with tears and stained into clusters.

Xia Shishen rubbed his thumbs at the corners of his eyes, then hugged his waist until the person in his arms stopped shaking, then he said, "Let's live together."

Qi Yan didn't make a sound, Xia Shishen could feel Qi Yan's pressed eyelashes trembling.

"With your grandma."

Qi Yan didn't remember whether he promised Xia Shishen at that time, he only remembered that night, he and Xia Shishen were sitting on the steps under the street lamp, and he told Xia Shishen how Cheng Sen followed him and ran to the hospital Look at Lin Yiling and steal his used cup.

Xia Shishen had a cigarette burning in his hand, but he didn't smoke until the smoke was exhausted.

"I'll take care of it." Xia Shishen threw away the cigarette butt, and touched Qi Yan's eyelashes with his tobacco-smelling fingers. After a moment, Xia Shishen withdrew his hand.

"Let's go to the amusement park tomorrow." Xia Shishen said suddenly.

This is not the time to go to the amusement park, Xia Shishen and him may be in big trouble, Qi Yan stared at the black reflection in front of Xia Shishen, but opened his mouth and said: OK.

The two of them were silent for a while, the wind suddenly turned cold, and a bolt of lightning appeared at the end of the sky, dazzlingly bright.

"It's going to rain." Qi Yan stood up from the steps, patted the dirt on his pants, walked two steps into the corridor, then turned his head and said to Xia Shishen, "Go back quickly."

Qi Yan smiled: "I'll see you tomorrow."

Xia Shishen held the cigarette case in his hand, but he probably didn't grasp the strength well, a deep crease appeared in the middle of the colored paper box.

Xia Shi looked deeply into his eyes and nodded.

As soon as Qi Yan got home, it started to rain outside, and the raindrops hit the glass windows, making crackling noises.Qi Yan opened the curtain and looked down, but there was no one there.

The rain wetted the dense lines on the clothes, Xia Shi raised his head deeply, and exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

Qi Yan went up for two hours before turning off the light. Xia Shishen was afraid that Qi Yan would not sleep well, but he couldn't go up to accompany him.

Xia Shishen turned on his phone and made a call in the dark corridor.

The person on the other side quickly connected, and the man gave a lazy feed, then laughed and teased him that the water was too loud, and asked him if he was surfing.

Xia Shishen walked into the rain, and the smoke in his hand was instantly doused by the rain.

"Help me find out who Ren Xiaonian has met recently."

The person on the other side paused, and asked with some doubts: "Why did you mention him all of a sudden..."

Xia Shishen didn't speak, hung up the phone and got in the car.

Early the next morning, Qi Yan and Xia Shishen went to the playground.

Xia Shishen bought vip tickets in advance, so they didn't waste much time queuing up and entered the park quickly.

It had rained the day before, and the air was humid and smelled of earth and grass.Qi Yan walked beside Xia Shishen, holding in his hand the marshmallows Xia Shishen bought for him, grilled sausages, and a large portion of caramel-flavored popcorn.

Qi Yan said very sincerely that he couldn't finish it, Xia Shishen glanced at him sideways, and bought a large glass of fruit yogurt after humming.

"I really can't eat so much." Qi Yan couldn't hold it in his hand, Xia Shishen took the sausage and popcorn, and said to him: "Don't worry, eat slowly."

Qi Yan lived up to expectations, he ate those things for nearly an hour, and because he couldn't take it anymore, Xia Shishen helped him eat the remaining half cup of yogurt.

"What do you want to play first?" Xia Shishen came over after throwing away the wrapping paper, and asked him in a low voice.

Qi Yan touched his stomach and hummed weakly: "I don't know... I feel like I'll spit out everything I play..."

Xia Shishen nodded as if understanding, then pointed to the little train for children.

"Sit there."

Five minutes later, Qi Yan and Xia Shishen sat in the last row of the children's train.Xia Shishen was almost curled up in the narrow seat, his head would hit the roof of the car if he straightened his back, and his two long legs were together.

Qi Yan and Xia Shishen's knees touched each other, and Xia Shishen put on a mask, only his eyes could be seen.

"You like to sit here." Qi Yan put his hands on the steering wheel in front of the seat, turned it around a few times, and whispered in Xia Shishen's ear, "You are so childish."

The warm breath sprayed on Xia Shi's deep neck, crisp and itchy.

Maybe Qi Yan has forgotten that a long time ago, he wrote in his weekly diary in his homework that he hoped to go to the amusement park, hope to eat a lot of snacks, and then take the small train again.

But Xia Shishen still wanted to make it happen for him, even though it was many years late.

The steam train stopped at the shopping area after half a circle around the amusement park, and Xia Shishen and Qi Yan were the last to go down.

"Are you happy?" Through the cotton mask, Xia Shishen's voice sounded a little fuzzy.

Just as Qi Yan was about to nod, he caught a glimpse of the fox ear headdress placed outside the shop from the corner of his eye. He ran over to hold it in his hand, turned around and grinned deeply at Xia Shi.

"I'll be happy if you wear this!"

Xia Shishen frowned, even though the mask almost covered his entire face, the unhappiness and merciless expression came out.

"Just wear it." Qi Yan tugged on Xia Shishen's wrist, and pressed his thin white fingers on his beating pulse, as if the blood was about to flow backwards.

Xia Shishen was always dazed like this every time.

He looked into Qi Yan's bright eyes, took the headgear in his hand without expression, pressed it on his baseball cap perfunctorily, and took it off quickly in less than three seconds.

But Qi Yan didn't intend to let him go just like that, Qi Yan pulled his wrist tighter, and then led him to the fitting room in the store, opened the innermost curtain and got in.

"It didn't count just now." Qi Yan raised his head, "Put it on again."

At some point, Qi Yan became more confident when speaking, Xia Shishen thought so, and raised his hand to take off his hat.

"You should be lower, I can't reach it." Qi Yan held up the headdress, looking ready to go.

The orange light source from the roof hit Qi Yan's body, and the tips of his hair were covered with a layer of soft light, making him look fluffy.

Xia Shi bent his chest deeply, Qi Yan leaned over and put the fox ears on his head.

The light illuminated Qi Yan's eyes, the soft eyelashes trembled with laughter, and the small wrinkles at the end of the eyes were like spring water wrinkled by the wind.

"Are you so happy to see me wearing this?" Xia Shishen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Qi Yan's eyes were bent into crescent moons with a smile, and he lowered his head, revealing the small piece of white skin on the back of his neck.

When Qi Yan finally calmed down, he and Xia Shishen walked out of the fitting room, and when they passed the cash register, Xia Shishen stopped.

Qi Yan watched Xia Shishen put the fox ears on the counter, then took out his phone to pay.

"You want to buy it?"

"En." Xia Shishen responded briefly.

They walked out of the store, and the powdery sky was in the distance, the air was filled with a sweet aroma, and the children gathered around were laughing happily.

Xia Shishen bought an all-day ticket, which also included the float performance at night, but they didn't take it into consideration.

Xia Shishen answered the phone. Originally, he was facing Qi Yan, but after more than ten seconds, Xia Shishen turned his back.

When Xia Shishen turned around again, Qi Yan saw himself in a panic in his dark eyes.

"I have something to do now. I need to go back and deal with it." Xia Shishen's voice was very calm, and he even smiled before saying to him, "I'll have someone take you back first."

"Okay." Qi Yan nodded, looking very cute.

Xia Shishen Fox's headdress tightened his fingers, and said to him again: "I'll call you at night."

Qi Yan is good at waiting, in order to be better at it, after returning home, he took a piece of melatonin.

Later, it was Lin Yiling who woke him up. The old lady asked him if he was alright with worry in her cloudy eyes.

Qi Yan stared at the blank phone screen and shook his head.

Another three hours later, Qi Yan called Xia Shishen, and just after dialing, a mechanical female voice rang from the opposite side.

the number you have call is unavailable.

Qi Yan sat on the sofa bed holding his mobile phone until a Weibo hotspot popped up on the screen, which read: Xia Shishen and his male "friend" went in and out together late at night, suspected to be out of the closet.
