The high-speed train arrives at one o'clock in the morning. Before that, they have to stay on this train, or sit, or sleep, or go to the rest area for a stop. Ten hours was really hard. Qin Fang felt that sitting for the next few hours was uncomfortable, and his bones were almost gathered into a pile.
It was okay during the day, but at night many people fell asleep, and the finish line was coming soon, and there were less than half of the people in the car. The carriage that Qin Fang and the others were in was extremely empty. At a glance, there were probably only a dozen people, almost all of whom were asleep.
The car is very quiet, even a little dull. The scenery outside the window can't see anything, only the reflection shadow on the glass.
Qin Fang turned his head and asked Xing Yan: "Are you all going home tonight? Let me book a room."
Xing Yan refused to let him settle, closed his eyes and said, "No need."
"I won't go back with you Brother Yan, it's inconvenient." Qin Fang didn't want to bother Xing Yan's house, so he just found a place to sleep tonight, and tomorrow he planned to find a pleasing hotel to take root.
Xing Yan was still in the same state, and whispered: "No need to order."
Qin Fang is reluctant to go to other people's homes, which may have something to do with him. Qin Fang is like an outsider in Jian's house, so he has never liked to be a guest at other people's homes. No matter whether the other party is warm or polite and alienated, the feeling of "outsider" will make him a little irritable. And it's not very polite to go directly to someone's house in the middle of the night without bringing anything in your hand.
Qin Fang smiled, and said to Xing Yan: "No Brother Yan, another day I..."
Before he finished speaking, Xing Yan interrupted him: "Hush..."
"Stop." Xing Yan opened his eyes and looked at Qin Fang, "You, just follow me."
Xing Yan had his signature cold look on his face again, Qin Fang couldn't say anything more, he hesitated for a few seconds, finally nodded and said: "OK."
The train arrived twenty minutes earlier than expected, and it was not one o'clock when it slowly slid into the platform. Qin Fang walked out of the carriage with his bag on his back. The temperature outside instantly increased by more than ten degrees, and he felt as if he had stepped out of a barrier. His whole body was wrapped in stagnant and hot air, mixed with the unique messy smell of the station.
But the whole body can stretch out, which is so comfortable.
This is a strange city to Qin Fang, the only person he is familiar with in this city is the person in front of him.
When Xing Yan looked back at him, Qin Fang smiled handsomely at him. This feeling was fresh and at ease.
The three people in the first-class car also got off, Situ wore a mask on his face, Zhou Siming looked sleepy with his bag on his back, Han Xiaogong's hair was tied up casually, looking a bit messy, but with a lazy and casual temperament.
"My tendons are coming together," Han Xiaogong raised his head and pinched his neck with one hand, then turned his head to look around, and whispered calmly, "See you again in the old place."
Xing Yan also carried a bag, looked at his phone and said to them: "Go out, I called a car."
When several people were walking towards the exit, Si Tu took the initiative to talk to Qin Fang and asked him, "Isn't it hard to sit for so long?"
Qin Fang pursed his lips and said, "It's not bad, just a few sleeps will be enough."
Si Tu smiled slightly and said to him, "It's beautiful here."
Qin Fang hasn't even left the train station yet, so he doesn't have a clue about whether it's beautiful or not. He nodded and said, "I've heard of it."
Si Tu said to him again: "You are welcome."
Xing Yan hailed a business car, and Qin Fang followed them into the car without asking where they were going. There were not many cars on the road in the city in the early morning, and it seemed empty. The car drove for almost half an hour, as if it had come to the suburbs on the other side of the city from the train station.
The driver spoke with a bit of an accent, and asked Xing Yan: "It's almost here, so I'll drive at the place you positioned?"
Xing Yan answered him: "Well, just press the navigation button to open it."
"College students are going home for vacation?" The driver was bored at night, so he wanted to chat with them.
Han Xiaogong replied to him: "Yes."
Finally, the car stopped at the entrance of a residential alley. Xing Yan sat behind Qin Fang and said to him, "Get out of the car."
After Qin put it down, he didn't ask any more questions, but just followed them. This should be an old district on the outskirts of the city. There are quite a lot of bungalows and small buildings, which should be rare in cities.
When you walk in from the alley, you can hear dogs barking in the yard through several gates, and the occasional sound of crickets on the roadside. In such a quiet night, these voices are not harsh, but more peaceful.
The one walking in the front was Zhou Siming. He stopped in front of a gate, turned on the light of his mobile phone, and opened the gate with the key according to the position of the keyhole.
Qin Fang glanced at Xing Yan, and Xing Yan signaled him to go in.
"I feel like you guys are going to sell me." Qin Fang let go of the joke and walked in.
Xing Yan turned back and asked him, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm so scared," Qin Fang said deliberately, "I feel like I won't be able to escape once your door is locked."
Zhou Siming, who was at the front, whispered, "You idiot."
Qin Fang ignored him, he was too tired in the middle of the night.
Han Xiaogong behind him locked the door in order to add a sense of fear to Qin Fang, and the lock knocked on the iron door with a loud sound.
Qin Fang smiled and said to Xing Yan, "Brother Yan, save me."
Xing Yan walked beside him without making a sound, but Si Tu laughed and asked Han Xiaogong, "Are you free?"
Han Xiaogong shrugged: "I'll add some drama to the handsome guy."
They entered a small courtyard, and there was a two-story building inside, which looked quite old from the outside. There was a balcony on the second floor outside, and some old things were piled up in the balcony.
After Zhou Siming opened the door, he patted on the light on the wall, and his vision instantly became clear.
It is indeed an old house. There is a set of sofas and coffee tables in the living room, and there is a dining table next to it. The furnishings are quite old, but they look good.
"I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep." Han Xiaogong yawned, and went up to the second floor with his suitcase.
Seeing him carrying the suitcase, Qin Fang always had the urge to help him, but before reaching out, he remembered that it was a boy, so he stood still.
Zhou Siming went up to the second floor without saying a word, and Qin Fang came downstairs, leaving only Xing Yan and Si Tu.
Si Tu glanced at Qin Fang, and then asked Xing Yan: "Where does he sleep with you?"
Xing Yan nodded, "Mmm".
Si Tu then said, "Then I fell asleep?"
"Sleep with you." Xing Yan said.
Si Tu smiled and said "good night" to them, and said to Qin Fang, "I want to take a bath and ask him to boil water for you."
"Okay," Qin Fang nodded at him, "Good night."
Xingyan's bedroom is very simple, with two beds, a desk, a wardrobe, and a guitar.
Qin Fang walked in with him, and Xing Yan said, "You pick a bed."
"I don't care," Qin Fang picked up the bag and put it on the table. There was no one in the house, and the dust was quite big, so he didn't mind too much, and said to Xing Yan, "I'll just sleep in the other one you slept in before. But why do you have two beds in your room?"
Xing Yan said: "When it rains, the second floor leaks, and those two people sometimes come down to live."
He took the vacuum bagged quilt and sheets from the cabinet, threw a set to Qin Fang, and asked him, "Can you do it, master?"
"Yes," Qin Fang smiled, "Master, I will perform one for you."
About this house, about these four people, about their living conditions, Qin Fang didn't ask a single word.
The water was too slow to boil, so they just washed it with cold water and lay down directly when they came back. Qin Fang couldn't sleep well, he fell asleep several times on the train. Xing Yan slept very quietly, soundlessly.
The room is not too hot, the curtains are not drawn, and the moonlight shines in, so the room is not dark.
At a certain moment, Qin Fang suddenly felt strange. He followed Xing Yan to such a strange city on impulse, and lived in an old house with a sense of time but not dilapidated. He had never thought of all this before.
It was almost dawn when Qin Fang fell asleep, probably at three o'clock. When he opened his eyes in the morning, the sun was already shining. He took out his phone and checked the time, it was half past nine.
After leaving the room, Han Xiaogong sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, watching a movie on a tablet. Seeing him come out, he raised his hand and said hello: "Hi."
"Good morning," Qin Fang asked, "Where are the others?"
"The one upstairs is not up, the one in your room has gone out." Han Xiaogong said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door rang. Xing Yan came back with a bunch of things, saw Qin Fang set it up, and said, "Did you wash up? Eat after washing."
"No," Qin Fang smiled at him, "Brother Yan worked hard."
Han Xiaogong rolled his eyelids and chuckled, "Handsome guy has a sweet mouth."
After Qin Fang cleaned up, Han Xiaogong was already eating with a box of noodles, and his hair was tied up again. When Qin Fang looked at him, he pulled the lower corner of his lips at Qin Fang, and when he smiled, he slightly hooked his eyes: "Why do you always look at me?"
Qin Fang really didn't look at him on purpose, he subconsciously looked at him when he came out of the bathroom. Qin Fang smiled and shook his head: "It wasn't intentional."
"It doesn't matter if it's intentional," Han Xiaogong tucked it behind the hanging lock of hair, and said to Qin Fang, "Look at it casually, I don't mind."
Qin Fang sat down and said, "No."
"Don't pay attention to him." Xing Yan pushed Qin Fang a breakfast, "Boys all over the world are watching him."
Han Xiaogong just laughed softly when he heard this, glanced at Qin Fang, took another bite, and said slowly: "A lot of straight men are starting to bend around me, and handsome guys are also careful."
Qin Fang actually nodded his head: "You are really quite..."
"What's the matter?" Han Xiaogong looked up at him.
Qin Fang didn't want to describe it, and Xing Yan answered from the side: "It's quite coquettish."
Han Xiaogong laughed with a "poof", Qin Fang also smiled and shook his head: "I didn't mean that."
"It doesn't matter what you mean," Han Xiaogong wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, and said with a light smile, "Let's try and see if you can bend after this holiday."
