silent garden

Chapter 21

At two o'clock in the morning, there were hardly any cars or people on the wide streets of Pinggang.Lonely street lamps illuminate the city.Fei Tianlan drove the car very fast.Night Breeze sneaked into his mind cunningly, scraping away any possible rigorous and formed pictures.

He clearly knew that if it was normal, he would not knock on Xia Qi's door anymore.

Pleasure and happiness require measure.Like before, lustful and ruthless, he doesn't hope for Xia Qi, and they are happy with each other.Things are different now.If the ambiguous nonsense continues, someone will be sad.

But at this time, his thinking seemed to have bypassed this cognition, and he just wanted to go home and see that person.He has an impulse.He felt that this impulse was close to love.

Maybe, Xia Qi is the one in Xiaowan's blessing.

——But, it’s just “maybe”.

he does not know.I haven't thought about it yet.

Park the car, enter the house, and go upstairs.When he got to the door of Xia Qi's room, he accidentally didn't knock, but directly turned the doorknob.

There is no lock.

He pushed the door lightly, entered, and closed the door just as softly.

Xia Qi's sleep habits are different from his.His room is pitch black at night without the lights on, and there is moonlight on Xia Qi's side.The curtains were barely drawn, so the cold light outside, the chirping of insects in the courtyard, and night noises from nowhere all squeezed in through the window.

He went to the bed and squatted down.Xia Qi didn't wake up.He came here steaming, all the way his mind was full of desire for intimacy.But seeing people, those hot sparks sank instead.

The longer you stay in a dark environment, the more your vision adapts.He was gradually able to see Xia Qi's face clearly through the light outside the window.Clear enough to see the slight flapping of eyelashes with breathing.The hair is a bit messy, longer than before, and looks soft.

People with soft hair have soft hearts.he thinks.Even if he bullies a little more, this guy should be able to forgive himself, right?Sure, after all... After all, this guy fell in love with him.

He raised his hand, trying to wake him up.

However, maybe it's because Xia Qi raised his breathing, maybe it's because his conscience hurts a little bit, maybe it's just because he's afraid of trouble... His hanging hand didn't touch him in the end.He only stretched out one index finger, and twirled it two centimeters above a bunch of messy hair, simulating the movement of stirring that lock of hair.

As if thinking it was fun, he still showed a happy smile.There is a kind of satisfaction in my heart.Like a child playing with his favorite toy.

never mind.He stayed quietly, looking at Xia Qi's sleeping face fascinated.The mind becomes peaceful.The chaotic and fast-moving agitation in the body was soothed and calmed.

After a while, he tiptoed again and left.

The next morning, Fei Tianlan was woken up by the faint sound of conversation.He was instinctively upset and wanted to curse.Frowning tightly, the words "Xia Qi, shut up" rolled in his heart.But too lazy to get up and practice.

It was not easy for him to fall back asleep when he was woken up, so he just listened to the conversation while being angry.The more I listened, the clearer I became, my brain began to think actively.

Who is Xia Qi talking to?Uncle Wang?But that guy's tone seems a little too high, I haven't heard him talking to Uncle Wang before... Is it someone else?

other people? !

He opened his eyes suddenly, staring at any place in his field of vision.After a pause, he lifted the quilt and got up.

He went downstairs with a terrifying expression and appeared in front of Xia Qi.

Xia Qi seemed to be shocked by him, his originally bright smile froze, and his eyes were surprised.The long eyelashes blinked and asked him: "You, when did you come back?"

snort.He grimaced and didn't answer.He turned to look at the person Xia Qi was talking to.

He had noticed the man on the stairs.The other party was a middle-aged man with a soldierly, self-conscious upright posture.From these signs, he already had guesses about the other party's identity.It's just that when he got up, he was stuck there, and he was at home, or in front of...Xia Qi——he tensed up willfully.

"You are Tianlan, right?"

"This is my dad."

The middle-aged man and Xia Qi spoke at the same time, their tone of voice, even their volume, had a strange consistency.Fei Tianlan thought that this kind of "resemblance" would only appear between biological father and son, but it turns out that adoptive father and son also have it.

"Ah." After hearing this, Fei Tianlan patted his face with his palm to relax his expression, and looked at Xia Weijun apologetically.

"Uncle Xia, hello, welcome. I knew you were coming to Pinggang for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Xia Qi didn't tell me the exact time—why didn't you tell me? When did you come?"

He turned to look at Xia Qi.

Xia Qi replied: "Yesterday afternoon, you were busy at that time."

"Yes, yes, you are busy." Xia Weijun shook hands with him, grasping them weakly, his eyes lingering on his face, and he couldn't help feeling, "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown up so much. Just now Xiao Qi gave you I read your news yesterday and said you are amazing."

"It's not a few years, it should be more than ten years." Fei Tianlan said, his eyes just rightly glanced at Xia Qi who was aside, "It's not a big deal at all, you should have heard about the family affairs, I just carried it to death .”

Hearing this, Xia Weijun's expression became a little sad.

"Oh, old Fei is really..." Feelings welled up in his mouth, and he didn't like his head and feet in front of his son, so he hesitated and sighed. "Can I go and see him? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Fei Tianlan said: "Thank you uncle, I will contact you to ask, but I still dare not give you an accurate answer."

Xia Weijun hurriedly said, "I understand."After such a short exchange of pleasantries, Fei Tianlan dragged his exhausted body, which had not slept for a few hours, back upstairs to wash up.After a while, I heard Xia Qi's footsteps approaching.He didn't look up in the mirror, but relied on his ears to hear where the other party was.

Xia Qi stopped at the door of the bathroom, not too far away.

"I picked up my dad yesterday, so I didn't go to court..." He explained his absence.

Originally, Fei Tianlan was not at all unhappy about his absence.Reminded by his explanation, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.It seemed that Xia Qi should accompany him on such an important day and occasion.If Fei Sanjiang had been by his side when the sentence was pronounced, maybe he would have felt better...

But these are baseless.

Fei Tianlan thought about it, and felt that he was making trouble for no reason.I stopped thinking about it.Raising his hand and waving, he said generously, "It's okay, it's important to pick up your dad. I didn't let Uncle Wang go in time, so I'm sorry for Uncle Xia."

He rinsed his mouth with water, turned around and went to the bedside to get his mobile phone, and sent a message to Uncle Wang.

"I told Uncle Wang, let him take Uncle Xia to play today. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night. I have to go to the suburbs today. I don't know when I can come back. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, just right, right?"

After hearing this, Xia Qi pursed his lips.In the end, he didn't say anything, just nodded and said "OK".

Fei Tianlan simply ate breakfast and went out.Xia Qi was already used to this, but Xia Weijun sighed and sighed when he saw it, watching the off-road vehicle suddenly drive out, and sighed "It's nice to be young and full of energy".

Xia Qi smiled, but didn't answer.

Today is not the weekend, he asked Professor Ye for a whole day off to accompany Xia Weijun.

The father and son stayed at home until after nine o'clock. Uncle Wang called and said that he couldn't get away for the time being, and he might not be able to accompany him until the afternoon.Xia Weijun didn't care, hung up the phone, and went to Xia Qi to arrange a day's itinerary.

First, I went to see the cemetery of the martyrs of the military region where I served, and then I went to buy two boxes of mooncakes—"I don't even have a box of mooncakes at home, how can you two young men spend the Mid-Autumn Festival?" he criticized with a sigh.

After the approval, I was so distressed that I didn't know how to express it, so I muttered and recalled what flavors Fei Sanjiang and Uncle Wang liked when they were young.

At the end, ask: "What flavor does Tianlan like?"

Xia Qi: "..."

Only then did he realize that he didn't know.So he sent Fei Tianlan a message to ask, and after a while, Fei Tianlan replied: pure lotus paste.

... There is no pure lotus paste these days, only egg yolk lotus paste.The young master is a real thing.Xia Qi complained and didn't reply any more.Go out with Xia Weijun.

It takes a lot of time to go to the Martyrs Cemetery.Xia Weijun found his comrade-in-arms who unfortunately died, and he had a lot to talk about.He didn't let Xia Qi listen, so Xia Qi had to hide far away.

When he was free, he remembered the pure lotus paste mooncake that Fei Tianlan wanted.It had been several months, and he still didn't know much about Pinggang City, so he definitely couldn't find such a rare thing.After thinking about it, he sent a message to Zhou Huailuo, asking where it was.

The latter replied in seconds: Is the Fei family so poor now?Can't even afford mooncakes?

Xia Qi: ...

After a few seconds, Zhou Huailuo replied: I don't know either, let me ask for you.

Xia Qi: Thank you.

Soon, he knew what Zhou Huailuo asked.Master Zhou posted a status in Moments: My junior brother's incident forced my parents to eat pure lotus paste mooncakes. May I ask Wanquan, where can I buy them in Pinggang?

It's true that things are forced, what do parents say?

Xia Qi stared at this state, frowned and thought about it.Before he could think of anything, he saw a comment under this status, which belonged to Lu Zhao: I'll help him figure it out.

Xia Qi was shocked when he watched this comment appear.But he cared more about when Zhou Huailuo and Lu Zhao became friends than the content of the comment itself.

Sometimes his intuition is very keen, and he smells the breath of "not simple" before there is any clue or logic on the surface.

After a while, Zhou Huailuo sent a new message: Lu Gong said to help you.

No need... After typing out the three words, I felt that it was too blunt, so I turned to politely asked the doubts in my heart: Are you familiar with Lu Gong?

Zhou Huailuo: It's okay, he is familiar with Lao Ye, and I get in touch with him occasionally.But he is a great god!How can I be so familiar with the Great God!

Xia Qi stared at this message and pondered silently, sorting out some thoughts for the intuition just now.

First of all, Zhou Huailuo seemed to adore Lu Zhao.If this is true, then he should cherish the opportunity to go to work in Beiliang.But he didn't go, instead he resolutely gave the opportunity to his junior brother who had been with him for several months.It's not logical.

Second, the tone of Lu Zhao's comments just now was very casual, and he didn't seem to be unfamiliar with Zhou Huailuo.If this is true, Zhou Huailuo lied to him.

In addition, Lu Zhao treats him with more hospitality than students and juniors.This point is not only clearly shown in the content of this comment, but also often revealed in the usual work and relationship.

Xia Qi is not good at dealing with the hypocritical interpersonal relationships in the adult world, but he can understand the subtle emotional impact between people very nuanced.Lu Zhao was a little special to himself, he was sure.

Therefore, the second clause is logical.

In this way, both the logic and the status quo point to one fact: Zhou Huailuo is pushing him away from Fei Tianlan.As for Lu Zhao, it seemed that he appeared on purpose.

This person really shouldn't get too close.

However, this person has sent messages one after another at this moment.

"Student Xia, where are you? I'll take you to buy pure lotus paste moon."

"That's the only family in Pinggang. I can let them stay, not necessarily others."

"Smiley.jpg"

Xia Qi looked at it and hesitated."bu" has already been typed in the edit box, but there is no word selection.

He was thinking, no, why can't he get closer to Lu Zhao?What's wrong with Lu Zhao?What is he guarding?Guard Fei Tianlan?

Oh, that's a bit pretentious and hypocritical.After all, Fei Tianlan was not in a relationship with him.Fei Tianlan would never fall in love with him!There is greed between them, and they haven't even made friends with benefits.

He knew what Fei Tianlan would think of their behavior.

——It’s just a kiss, and you won’t get pregnant.How can it be considered crossing the line if you don't go to bed?
