An He went downstairs and was about to drive his car, but Na Chen stopped him and raised the key in his hand: "I'll drive. ＿ ﹏雅＞文吧w·ww."
"What are you driving?" An He was stunned and looked at the key in his hand. "The battery?"
"Well," Na Chen pointed the key forward and pressed it. The white electric car parked next to the building in front of him honked, and he walked over, "Let's feel it."
The light was not good last night, and An He could only see it clearly now. It was a cute, petite, round-headed electric car. The seat was also very small. It seemed that after the helmsman sat on it, there would still be half a space left for the passenger's buttocks.
"There's no room for us," An He followed him to the front of the car, "Are you underestimating our size?"
"Get in," Na Chen stepped onto the bike and moved forward, "There's room for you."
“Big…” An He didn’t move and wanted to struggle again.
"Stop wasting time, okay?" Na Chen pulled him, "Either come up by yourself, or I'll tie you up."
"Okay, okay," An He had no choice but to climb onto the back seat and sit next to him. It took him a long time to find a place to put his feet. "Let me tell you first, if the tire goes flat, I will definitely abandon the car and run away. I will definitely not push the car."
Na Chen smiled and started the car. The small battery started moving slowly. Na Chen scratched the ground with his feet twice to help speed up the car.
When the car drove out of the community gate, the security guard leaned half of his body out of the booth and watched them leave with some surprise.
"Our cheerful security guards were so frightened that they forgot to have fun." An He sighed.
"How is it?" Na Chen patted the front of the small battery car proudly, "It has enough power, right?"
"Ah, we haven't even reached 20 miles yet..."
“It’s faster than walking.”
An He didn't say anything. He reached out and held Na Chen's waist helplessly. The house was too small and he always felt that if he didn't hold Na Chen, he might slip backwards at any time.
To be honest, their postures when they were squeezed into the car were quite unique.
Because he was too close to Na Chen, he had to spread his legs apart. Na Chen was sitting too far forward, with his knees hitting the front of the car, so he also had to spread his legs.
It looks really stupid.
"I threw away my wings and forgot about heaven." Na Chen seemed to be in a much better mood than before, and began to sing in the wind, "My last memory is flying towards you..."
Na Chen's voice was not loud and he sang casually, but it still brought Angel back to the night when Na Chen stood in front of him, playing the guitar and singing this song for the first time.
He was about to applaud when Na Chen suddenly shook his legs: "Look."
"What are you looking at?" An He was puzzled.
"Look at my legs," Na Chen shook his legs back and forth again, "Do they look like wings?"
"You..." An He didn't know what to say and wanted to laugh, "Like."
"Flying towards you—" Na Chen repeated the last sentence while swinging his legs, "Flying towards you... flutter flutter..."
"Please," An He reached out from behind and touched his leg, "Can you rest your wings for a while? Everyone is looking at you."
When they were almost at the Fifth Hospital in their small electric car, Nachen, who had been talking to An He, fell silent. It was not until they stopped the car in front of the Fifth Hospital that he said, "We're here."
An He patted his shoulder and got out of the car, his butt was a little numb.
"My mom..." Na Chen sat on the bike, holding the handlebars, "Sometimes she might suddenly... you..."
"I know, it's okay, don't worry." An He scratched his head, "Let's go."
This was An He's first time walking into the Fifth Hospital. It looked similar to any ordinary hospital. If there was any difference, it was probably that it was a lot quieter and there were not many people.
The weather is nice today and the sun is shining brightly. In the yard behind the hall, there are many patients sitting or standing in the sun.
Some people were laughing, some were silent, and some were mumbling to themselves.
Na Chen went to Dr. Chen's office. An He stood in front of the window in the corridor and looked down. He didn't know what mood Na Chen was in every time he came here. The people here live in another world. Sadness or joy are beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Just like Na Chen has never been able to understand his mother's thoughts, the helplessness and frustration of wanting to enter his mother's world but being blocked outside the door, and the fear that comes with not being understood by his mother.
Like him, Na Chen couldn't come out of the shadow of more than ten years so quickly, but he was trying hard to change his feelings towards his mother and bring people to see his mother...
Every step was not easy for Na Chen. It took him two or three months to take these difficult steps.
Na Chen came out of the office and walked over to him: "Let's go, Doctor Chen said we can go see her now."
"Well, where is it?" An He turned around and followed him to the stairs.
"It's behind this building. There's an activity area there. She always basks in the sun there." Na Chen walked a few steps in front, then slowed down, stood side by side with An He, and reached out to hold An He's hand.
An He squeezed his hand and scratched his palm. Na Chen smiled and said, "Itchy."
There were quite a few people in the activity area behind the building, and there were several nurses standing by to keep them company.
An He took a quick glance and instantly confirmed that the woman sitting on the long wooden chair in the corner was Na Chen's mother.
Her long hair is casually draped over her shoulders. She is very beautiful and looks very young. She looks like a painting when she sits quietly.
"That's my mother." Na Chen pointed over there and said softly.
"I can see that you look a lot like your mother." An He smiled.
The nurse saw Nachen, smiled, bent down and said something in Nachen's mother's ear. She turned her head, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"Mom." Na Chen walked over quickly and squatted beside her.
"Why haven't you come for a long time?" She held Na Chen's face and touched it, her voice very gentle, "Mom misses you."
"I haven't been here recently because I've been busy," Na Chen lowered his voice and turned to look at An He, "Mom, this is my friend, An He."
"Hello, Auntie." An He walked over. Normally, for a woman of Na Chen's mother's age, he would at most call her sister. In addition, she looked much younger than her actual age, so it was a bit difficult for him to call her Auntie.
"Hello," Nachen's mother looked up at him with a smile on her face. After a long time, her smile gradually faded and her eyes became a little cold. "What do you want to do?"
An He didn't expect her to ask this suddenly. After a pause, he still answered calmly: "I don't want to do anything. I'm here with Na Chen to see you. >﹍雅﹏文吧ww·w`.-y=a`we·n8"
"Mom," Na Chen held her hand, "He is my friend. Didn't you ask me before why I was always alone? I brought a friend..."
"You don't have any friends," Nachen's mother interrupted him bluntly, frowning, "Chenchen, you don't have any friends."
An He squatted down next to Na Chen and said softly, "He has friends, and I am his friend."
Nachen's mother didn't say anything else, but just stared at him again. An He couldn't judge her emotions from her eyes. Doubt, confusion, puzzlement and inquiry seemed to be all there, but none of them seemed clear.
"What kind of friends? Good friends?" she asked softly.
An He was thinking about how to answer without causing her emotional fluctuations, but Na Chen suddenly raised his head: "Boyfriend."
"I know he is a boy." Na Chen's mother looked at him and smiled.
"Mom, An He is my... boyfriend," Na Chen bit his lip hard, his voice a little weak, "He is my boyfriend."
"Ah." Na Chen's mother was stunned for a moment, and uttered a soft "ah", but said nothing more.
An He's heart tightened. He didn't know how determined Na Chen had been to say this to his mother. Judging from the way Na Chen and his mother had gotten along since childhood, he had already started "contradicting" his mother from the moment Na Chen said he had a friend.
Na Chen's method was still clumsy. An He was happy but also vaguely uneasy, wondering if this method was within her acceptable range.
"Boyfriend?" Na Chen's mother lowered her head, her hair sliding down to cover half of her face, as if she was thinking.
An He squatted for a while, and the three of them were silent. He felt that he couldn't let Na Chen's mother continue to think, so he gently pushed Na Chen. Na Chen looked at him, stood up and sat next to his mother: "Mom, have you eaten?"
Na Chen's mother didn't say anything, she still kept her head down with her hair hanging down. An He could only see her long eyelashes and her beautiful straight nose which was exactly the same as Na Chen's.
"Ah..." An He wanted to continue interrupting.
"Your name is An He?" She suddenly raised her head and raised her hand to gently tuck her hair behind her ears.
"Yeah." An He nodded.
"Are you going to marry Chenchen?" she asked.
"Ah?" An He was stunned by this question that was completely different from what he had expected.
Na Chen was also stunned and opened his mouth but no words came out.
Nachen's mother was still looking at him. An He felt that the sun suddenly became very strong, and he felt like sweating. After a few seconds, he nodded: "Yeah."
"You got it wrong," Na Chen rested his elbows on his knees and smiled, "It's me who wants to marry..."
"Chenchen," Chen's mother suddenly reached out and touched his face, "You are smiling."
"Well," Nachen looked at her, "I'm happy, so I smile."
She didn't say anything, but just kept touching Na Chen's face, the corners of his eyes, the corners of his mouth, gently touching. After a long time, she said softly, "It feels so good."
"Mom," Nachen held her hand, "I see stars."
"Really?" She looked at Na Chen, her eyes suddenly reddened, "Really?"
Na Chen nodded.
“… That’s great,” she whispered, tears slowly filling her eyes.
The nurse standing nearby came over and whispered to Nachen that they should leave and not let his mother's emotions fluctuate too much.
"Let's go back to the room and rest. Dinner will be served soon," the nurse took Nachen's mother's hand, "We have beef stew today. Didn't you say you wanted to eat beef yesterday?"
"Did I say that?" She stood up and followed the nurse slowly.
"I told you, why don't we see if there are any other delicious dishes later?" the nurse said with a smile.
Na Chen's mother didn't say goodbye to them, nor did she look at them again, as if she had suddenly forgotten their existence.
Only when his mother and the nurse disappeared from view did Nachen, who was sitting on the bench, lean back his head and let out a long sigh.
An He stood up, walked to his side, and saw a tear sliding out of the corner of his eye.
"Shall we go? I'll take you out to play." An He tapped his chin.
"What are you playing?" Na Chen still looked up, but he quickly raised his hands to cover his eyes.
"I'll listen to you. You can play whatever you want." An He turned around.
"I'm going to the video game arcade." said Na Chen.
"Let's go to the arcade." An He kicked his shoes.
Na Chen smiled, stood up, rubbed his eyes, and stretched.
"Daqi, let me tell you something," An He was holding an ice cream in his hand, and he and Na Chen were standing on the roadside eating while facing the passing cars, "You can't be so anxious when talking to your mother."
"I didn't want to say it, I don't know how it just came out," Na Chen lowered his head and ate a box of ice cream in his hand, "I thought she was going to hit me again."
"Doesn't she remember that you are a man?" An He thought about it and realized that Nachen's mother didn't seem to react much to the title of boyfriend.
"That's true..." Na Chen licked the spoon, and suddenly laughed after a while, "Maybe, my grandma is sometimes confused and can't tell whether I'm a boy or a girl. Maybe it's genetic."
"I couldn't tell the difference at first." An He took a bite of the ice cream. The weather was already warm, but eating ice cream still felt a bit chilling. He glanced at Na Chen and found that he had already eaten half a box in just a short while.
"Maybe I'm too beautiful," Na Chen turned her head and threw him a wink, "right, sir?"
Even though the wink was clearly from a madman, An He was still attracted by Na Chen's gaze and accidentally took a big bite of the ice cream. It was so cold in his mouth that his forehead hurt.
"Are you still performing with the band now?" An He asked after swallowing the ice cream with great difficulty.
"I haven't been there for the past two months. Li Fan's wife is pregnant. He serves her like a queen every day. He almost castrated himself and changed his name to Xiao Fanzi. He won't be free until after this month," Na Chen took two more bites of ice cream. "Why, do you want to see it?"
"It's just that I haven't seen you play drums for a long time," An He smiled, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen you... play drums normally."
"That's right," Nachen threw the empty ice cream box into the trash can, "If you want to watch our next performance, I'll just go and beat you up like this."
"Will the band lose the appeal of the beautiful drummer?" An He recalled the first time he saw Birdman perform, his eyes never left the drummer.
"No, we have a beautiful keyboard now... Do you still want to eat it?" Na Chen pointed at the half-eaten ice cream in his hand.
"It's too cold, my teeth can't take it." An He looked at the ice cream helplessly.
"Give it to me," Na Chen took the ice cream from his hand and ate the rest in one bite, then got on the electric bike and said, "Let's go to the arcade to race cars."
"Haven't you lost enough yet?" An He smiled and squeezed into the back seat.
"I've figured out a trick that will at least help me win this one," Na Chen started the car and shook his legs again, "Puff puff..."
An He originally wanted to eat something before leaving, but when Na Chen mentioned his ultimate move, he became extremely excited and bought two burgers and stuffed them into his hands, which counted as his lunch.
An He had no choice but to follow him into the video game arcade while eating a hamburger. There were a lot of people there, and it was very lively all day long on weekends. The racing area was full, so they could only wait.
After finishing two burgers, the young couple who were playing double racing finally came down. They both rushed over at the same time, grabbed the car and sat in it.
After An He sat down, he heard the voice of a child next to him, saying with great grievance: "It was robbed."
He turned his head and saw a little boy of seven or eight years old standing behind him with a depressed look on his face.
"How did such a young kid get in here?" An He was quite surprised.
"I'm only playing with ten coins," the little boy opened his hand with two coins in it, and pointed to the back, "My mom is over there."
Na Chen counted out ten coins from his hand and put them in his hand: "Uncle will play with this old man for ten minutes and then come down, and then you can play with twenty coins, okay?"
"Okay." The little boy nodded.
"Damn," An He laughed, "You're getting more and more comfortable with that."
After the game started, An He glanced at Na Chen's screen and felt that Na Chen's level had not improved substantially. When he started, he was almost two seconds slower than himself.
With this level of attainment, can you still use a big move
As An He expected, Na Chen lost the first game.
"Why do I feel like you've regressed?" Anhe said with a smile as he stuffed the coins in his pocket.
"Come again." Na Chen smiled at him.
In the second race, Na Chen was running quite fast at the beginning, but was overtaken by An He at the bend. After that, he kept following behind An He's car. When he reached the finish line, he was half a car head behind and failed to overtake.
"Are your hands hot? You're much stronger than before." An He comforted him. Every time Na Chen lost, he looked unconvinced, but today he seemed quite calm.
"It seems that I really can't beat you without using my ultimate move," Na Chen bit his lip, "I'll use my ultimate move this time."
An He smiled but said nothing. He was too familiar with this game and really didn't know what big moves he could make. Na Chen's words made him look forward to it.
At the beginning of the third round, Na Chen started a little slowly and overtook once on a curve, but was quickly caught up by An He.
An He stared at the screen intently and ran very seriously.
But until the last lap, Na Chen was still behind him and he didn't use his ultimate move.
At the last turn, An He slowed down slightly. If Na Chen couldn't overtake at this turn, he would definitely lose.
"An He," Na Chen suddenly called him in a low voice, "I love you."
