I don't know the way forward, I don't know where to go.

Every day Qin Fang was woken up by Xing Yan, packed up and got into his car, where he was going and how far he was going, Qin Fang didn't ask a word about these things, and Xing Yan wouldn't take the initiative to tell him. Qin Fang is like a tourist being dragged away with his eyes closed, obeying the arrangement and enjoying every journey, that's enough.

Qin Fang is a person who is very good at making friends, and he can get along well in any environment he is thrown into. In a few days, he has become familiar with most of the people, eating, chatting and joking, and quickly getting along with these big brothers. If Xing Yan is a slow-heating type, then Qin Fang is a fast-heating type. Sometimes listening to him chatting with others can make Xing Yan laugh. Qin Fang is indeed different from the peers he has come into contact with.

During the day, the two of them feel the vastness of the world together on the road, and at night, they live wherever they want and sleep with their eyes closed. They are all happy.

Go farther and farther, deeper and deeper, and finally stop in the mountains.

This is their last stop, and starting tomorrow they will return by another route. Everyone will sleep in tents this night, which is a real camping in the wild.

There are more than a dozen tents not far apart, and there are two or three people who sleep crowded together, and some who sleep by themselves.

Qin Fang bought a bunch of toilet water and shared it with others. He and Xing Yan also got a lot of it on their bodies. The young man also secretly bought a few mosquito repellent bracelets. Tie the wrists and ankles of himself and Xing Yan.

"How old are you?" Xing Yan sat with his legs bent, watching Qin Fang roll up his trousers and buckle his ankles.

"My brother has to use several of them every year," Qin Fang lowered his head happily, "Anyway, it's useful for children. I don't know if we can do it."

The two of them took turns to take a wild bath with the running water from the mountain before, and the moisture on their bodies is still not dry at the moment. After tying Xing Yan, Qin Fang put down his trousers to cover them, and said deliberately: "It's okay, you can't see it from the outside, and it won't affect your temperament."

"Get out." Xing Yan scolded him, with a slight smile on his face, he picked up a tissue and hit Qin Fang on the shoulder.

In such a good environment, it would be boring to stay in a tent. Qin Fang dragged the mat out of the tent and lay directly on it with Xing Yan.

Insects and birds are singing, and the sky is full of stars and moons. Not far away, a few elder brothers played cards with a small lamp, and there were also small groups of twos and threes chatting quietly.

Qin Fang rested one arm under his head and put the other hand on his stomach, lying comfortably looking at the sky. The air is cool, and occasionally a gust of wind blows through, which is a comfort that cannot be felt in the city.

"It's over," Qin Fang suddenly remembered something, and said to Xing Yan, "I forgot to take a picture."

"What kind of photo are you taking?" Xing Yan responded casually.

"Xiao Gong asked me to take some pictures and he posted them on Weibo." Qin Fang took out his phone and looked at it, "I didn't take any pictures."

"Don't worry about him." Xing Yan said, "I don't even bother to take pictures."

Qin Fang smiled: "Let's take some pictures of him on the way back."

Qin Fang has known Xing Yan for so long, but they have never talked too much, and every time they talk, it is about irrelevant content. The journey of the past few days has brought the relationship between the two of them closer, at least in Qin Xin's mind, he feels that the two of them are very close now.

Qin Fang turned his head to look at Xing Yan, who was resting on Qin Fang's bag under Xing Yan's head, and was turning a thin grass stick in his hand casually.

"Brother Yan." Qin Fang called him.

Xing Yan turned his head, and the two looked at each other. This is already the countless times they have looked at each other, Qin Fang said softly: "Thank you for your freedom."

The eyes of the two people shone under the moonlight. Xing Yan didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then he raised his hand and flicked Qin Fang's head.

Qin Fang was quite surprised by his actions. Xing Yan was actually quite distant from everyone, and he rarely made any gestures in contact with others.

If this action were replaced by someone else, Qin Fang might avoid it. He thinks that the steel pipe is straight, and this action will make him a little awkward. But if the opponent was Xing Yan, Qin Fang accepted it calmly.

Maybe it was a journey that made him and Xing Yan very close, or maybe it was Xing Yan's smile and eyes that bewitched him again.

"I never asked you." Qin Fang also pulled a straw stick casually and wrapped it around his fingers, "What's the relationship between you two?"

Xing Yan moved the bag under his head and asked him, "What do you think we are related to?"

Qin Fang thought for a while and said, "It's really hard to say. At first I thought you were friends, but you don't look like each other, and friends don't have to live together."

"Hmm." Xing Yan responded.

Afterwards, Qin Fang didn't guess again, Xing Yan's voice sounded cool in this night, he said calmly, "We grew up together."

grow up together.

These few words are quite simple, but not that simple, at least these few words that Xing Yan said made Qin Fang know everything he wanted to know. Not friends, not childhood, just growing up together.

This is almost consistent with what Qin Fang had guessed before.

They lived in that house, and they were too used to living in it, and it was not a tacit understanding that could be formed overnight. None of the four came home, and that house felt like home.

Xing Yan said before that he sat in the fifth brother's bucket when he was ten years old, and he played it because his father liked it.

But he didn't take his dad's car.

When Xing Yan looked over, Qin Fang smiled at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "So you guys are young?"

In the past few days, Qin Fang could feel it every time Xing Yan's eyes fell on him. He didn't know whether Xing Yan wanted to talk, if Xing Yan didn't want to continue the chat, just say "yes" according to his words, and this topic will pass up.

Xing Yan was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "Forget it."

Qin Fang said "um", and didn't intend to ask further.

"We don't have a home," Xing Yan said unexpectedly, "None."

A certain string in Qin Xin's heart trembled, but his face remained calm and he didn't turn his head. He knew exactly what kind of reaction the other party needed at this time, and what a listener should have.

There are many more stars in the wild than in the city. Qin Fang looked at the star curtain above his head and heard Xing Yan say: "We need to grow up together."

Qin Fang was still twirling the thin grass stick in his hand, and half a minute later, after making sure that Xing Yan had nothing to say, he turned his head and said in a low voice, "... I don't have a home either."

The two of them didn't make any more noise, they lay quietly on their backs, looking straight at the sky.

The night was low and the cicadas were singing. In the summer night, Xinghe witnessed the teenagers exchanging a secret with each other.

In order to change the way back, we have to go around in a circle. The distance will be longer than when we came, but the scenery is still very good, or even better. On the way back, Xing Yan drove Qin Fang out of the convoy occasionally, and would go in for a stroll when he arrived in a small city. The two stopped and walked, and at night they caught up with the convoy and rested with everyone.

This also gave Qin Fang time to take pictures. He deliberately took the camera out of Brother Guo's car. Qin Fang had the camera hanging around his neck, and he took pictures of everything he saw.

Qin Fang also picked a few photos and posted them on Moments, one of which was Xing Yan leaning on the car in profile. In the photo, the teenager is dressed in black and black pants, with a white helmet in his hand.

Qin Fang accompanying text: Coooool boy.

Hua Tong commented on him at the bottom: who the fuck.

Before Qin put him back, Hua Tong's message came: Who is that? Don't tell me it's Zhou Siming.

Qin Fang: Are you blind? Zhou Siming has this face

Handsome Old Tung Tree in Huashan: That's good, shit. You have no face in this photo.

Qin Fang said: That is Xingyan.

Handsome old tung tree in Huashan: ...

-Depend on.

—Are all the enemies so stylish now? I really dare not fight indiscriminately in the future.

Qin Fang replied to him with a smile: No matter the enemy, we will be friends from now on.

Hua Tong said: I really admire you, you can still make two friends in a fight.

Qin Fang didn't refute his words, but chatted with him casually. In fact, this is not accurate, he and Zhou Siming are not considered friends until now, they haven't spoken a few words in total, and they want to fight if they say more.

"Brother Yan," Qin Fang called forward, "Turn back."

Xing Yan turned his head according to his instructions, and Qin Fang took a camera to take pictures of him. Xing Yan was quite cooperative, and he didn't hide. He even crossed his arms and used his forearm to block his eyes, and made a V.

The expressionless face is compared to V horizontally, this picture is too funny. Qin Fang smiled while taking pictures of him, and gave Xing Yan a thumbs up after the filming, and said, "I can't forget my temperament even more than V, treasure boy."

Xing Yan glanced at him and asked him: "What are you laughing at every day?"

Qin Fang smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood, I want to laugh at everything I see."

Xing Yan ignored him at first, then lowered his head and laughed softly after a while, and said to him in a low voice: "Like a second idiot..."

No matter how young Qin Fang heard his voice, he was stunned for a while, and then imitated Hua Tong and "leaked", and rushed towards Xing Yan. Xing Yan ran a few steps forward, Qin Fang threw himself on his back, wrapping his arms around his neck: "What did you just say? Huh?"

Xing Yan was bent over by him, the cool boy is also very handsome when he smiles: "I said you always laugh like a fool."

"Keep, lean, lean..." Qin Fang squeezed Xing Yan's chin with his arm again, "You seem to be dissatisfied."

Xing Yan was strangled by him, and his inner eyes smiled beautifully: "Shut up."

"Are you convinced?" Qin Fang raised his eyebrows.

Xing Yan nodded, holding Qin Fang's wrist and trying to pull him away: "Brother Fang, take it."

The first time he yelled that, Qin Fang couldn't hold back the "puchi" and laughed again.

Xing Yan stood up straight and spread his hands at him, beckoning, I didn't say you look like a fool.
